Jia Lian stayed in Danyuan for a few days, feeling refreshed both physically and mentally.
In the meantime, I went to Lin Ruhai's new house a few times for guidance, and I felt even more happy when I saw that the project was progressing smoothly.
Until the night before they were about to leave for Suzhou, Jia Lian and Ah He couldn't feel free and relaxed. They stayed up all night and hugged each other speechlessly.
.
There is no banquet that never ends, and there are no lovers that never separate.
On one side, Jia Lian and Ah He are depressed because they are about to break up. On the other side, Lin Daiyu, the fairy sister who has an unrequited love for Jia Lian, is devastated because Lin Ruhai left her in Yangzhou.
As for the salt merchants in Yangzhou, they rejoiced and shouted, "There is no ghost in the world that cannot be sent away."
Although the more than 10 million taels of silver that were cut into flesh and blood had to be found somehow, as long as Jia Lian leaves Yangzhou, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
.
On the day Jia Lian set out, it was slightly cold and rainy, and the swallows flew together.
There are two girls, each thinking about Jia Lian who is far away, looking at the new green on the branches, they are independent.
Those who are in ecstasy can only say goodbye!
.
Outside Lijin Gate in Dongcheng, Yangzhou, Lin Yongan came to see Lin Ruhai off.
Jia Lian took Zhuyu and Qingwen, boarded the big boat that the boys had already arranged at Dongguan Ferry, and continued southward along the canal.
Pass Wenfeng Temple and Gaomin Temple all the way to Guazhou Ancient Ferry.
"Between Jingkou and Guazhou, there are only a few mountains between Zhongshan."
"The building boat crosses Guazhou in the snowy night, and the iron horse disperses in the strong autumn wind."
Before I finished reading the poem about Guazhou, the boat had already sailed into the Yangtze River.
Facing the gentle early spring drizzle, the ship passed through Jianbi in Zhenjiang, Wujin in Danyang, Jiuli in Changzhou, and Wuxi before entering the territory of Suzhou.
.
Zhuyu and Qingwen, two heartless little girls, had a great time shopping in Yangzhou. They bought, bought, bought, and had a great time.
When they boarded the ship and left Yangzhou, they saw that the depressed Jia Lian couldn't cheer up all day, and they both lost their mood instantly.
As soon as I felt relaxed, the fatigue from walking around the streets of Yangzhou from morning to night in the past few days showed up. As a result, these two aunts also had pain in their legs, feet, waist, and back.
It hurts too - anyway, everything hurts except my mouth.
At this time, it was Jia Lian's and his party's turn to have dark clouds on the boat, and the salt merchants in Yangzhou City saw the light of day again. It was still "some are happy and some are sad." The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.
Although the "Four King Kongs" are known as servants, they are actually serious and responsible for security work, but they are not good at serving and flattering.
On the contrary, Jia Lian had always been with Xing'er, and in order to get more reward money, he was always thinking about trying to please Jia Lian.
It was a spring rainy day. When the boat entered Tai Lake, Xing'er saw Jia Lian sitting in the cabin again, staring at the water through the window, just in a daze. Dogwood leaned crookedly on the bed, yawning all the time, and fell asleep. Qingwen
Then she had simply curled up next to the small table on the bed, covered with a large sable cloak, and was actually taking a nap.
So Xing'er came over quietly and asked Jia Lian furtively:
"Second Master, we are about to arrive in Suzhou. We won't go anywhere to play along the way. Are you bored, Second Master?"
Jia Lian didn't even raise his eyelids, he casually took out a piece of silver and threw it to Xing'er:
"Leave me alone, get out!"
When Xing'er receives money, he is always extremely agile. His speed and accuracy can only be compared with that of "Hu Diaopan".
After taking the money, Xing'er, who was very conscientious, felt that the reward could not be in vain, so he got closer to Jia Lian:
"Shou Ma, boat girl, what have you not seen before in Yangzhou?
However, when we came to Suzhou last time, the second master was too tight on money. Even when we arrived at Changmen, the busiest place in the city, we couldn't enjoy what everyone in the world calls "a first- and second-class wealthy and romantic place in the world of mortals."
Fun.
This time the second master has a lot of money, let’s not make steamed buns to fight for reputation, but at least go to have a good time..."
"Fengliu Fengliu, Fengliu you are a monkey!" Jia Lian was upset and gave Xing'er a roll of his eyes, "Your second master, I am a serious person now, don't keep trying to hook me up and go to such unclean places. If I get sick, you are responsible for it."
?"
Xing'er scratched his head and grinned:
"If the second master gets that disease, the little one won't be able to run away, and he will have to get the disease too, right?"
"Go away! Go away! Go away!
Don't disgust me, I'm not interested in you at all now!"
Xing'er was used to being shameless. Seeing that Jia Lian didn't kick him, he just laughed as usual and kicked his nose in the face:
"Second Master is rich now, so naturally he doesn't need the younger ones to make a fuss.
But the second master has to take a long-term view?
When the second master wants to find a wife who is 'extraordinarily beautiful and extremely frivolous', he still has to use a young man to match them, right?
Let’s not talk about it in detail, let’s just say that in our house, the people I handle include the chef Bao Er’s family, the cook Duo Hun Chong’s family, the cook Zhang Liang’s family, the cook Zhou’s family, the cook Luo Xiao’s family…”<
/p>
"Stop! Stop!"
Jia Lian, who was in despair just a second ago, his eyes widened in an instant and he almost jumped up.
.
Why are they all other people’s wives?
Why are we both the cook’s wife?
I, Jia Lian, am too single-minded, right?
Do I have to cuckold the cook?
"Wife Cao" is not as dedicated as I am!
Wait!
In addition, Qiu Tong, who will be left over from Jia She’s play, and Jia Zhen, the second sister You who will be left over from Jia Rong’s play in the future, will this author of mine be a "professional leftover collector"?
Don’t I want what others have left over? I... am I too “environmentally friendly”?
When it comes to "picking up leftovers", if I humbly claim to be second, I will immediately cross the sword. Who in the world dares to claim to be first?!
So domineering!
Not to mention, this owner of mine is really a "responsible" womanizer.
First, the little girl is not excited;
Second, specifically looking for married women;
Third, you are willing to give me what you want, never force it;
First, pay enough money every time.
It’s so interesting!
.
"Second Master, Second Master, what's wrong?"
At this time, Jia Lian was about to hand out a banner and a certificate to his original owner in his heart, but in Xing'er's eyes, Second Master Lian seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, with his mouth half open and looking stupid.
Jia Lian came back to his senses, cleared his throat quickly, and said seriously:
"Please remember, Second Master, I will improve my level in the future. I...I am a Fengya person."
Regardless of whether he understood it or not, Xing'er nodded immediately:
"Yes, yes! The second master is definitely a refined person!"
Suddenly, Xing'er's eyes lit up and he pointed to the distance outside the window:
"Hey! Second Master! Look! Fengya!"
Jia Lian followed Xing'er's gaze and saw a picturesque hill stretching to the east of Taihu Lake, covered with white plum blossoms.
In the sea of fragrant snow, a solemn ancient temple is vaguely hidden.
Elegance!
More elegant than ancient paintings!
"Where is this?"
Jia Lian asked Xing'er, and Xing'er asked the boatman.
The boatman chuckled and said:
"This is Xuan Tomb Mountain, and the temple on the mountain is called Panxiang Temple."
.
Panxiang Temple???
Panxiang Temple mentioned in the original text of "A Dream of Red Mansions"???
