dream of red mansion

Chapter 298 Official Ship
Fourth day.

In the early morning, before dawn, the Ningguo Mansion was full of lights and noisy.

After a few days of preparation, I arranged all the things that could be considered at home, and handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and I didn't officially leave until today.

The Patriarch of the Ningguo Mansion went out, and the middle door was wide open.

In front of the Patriarch's courtyard, Qin Shi, You Shi, Xiao Shuang'er, Xie Luan Peifeng, and You Shi's Shuang Shu waited here together to send Jia Qing out.

Jia Qing looked back at the beautiful and familiar faces, especially the teary-eyed Pei Feng, his heart warmed, and he smiled and said, "You all go back."

What should be said has been finished before, but there is no need to be sensational at this time, so he turned around and left.

This trip is with official business, and the itinerary should be arranged by the Ministry of Rites, but it's not easy for me to bring a maid with me, it's too ostentatious.In fact, it would be fine if they only brought one with them, but it was even more difficult to do so, so they simply didn't bring one, anyway, they had been to Jiangnan last time.

After going out of the gate and getting on the horse, Jia Qing asked: "Miss Biao's carriage is ready?"

Steward Liu, whose name is Liu Tian, ​​who is in charge of land rents in Ningguo Mansion, said: "Go back to Second Master, it has already been prepared."

Lai Sheng couldn't leave Beijing because he had something to do, so Liu Tian led a team to take charge of the Ningguo Mansion's servants.He is also one of the stewards who made a contribution to saving Jia Jing last time.

At this time, the entire Ningrong Street was brightly lit, and both sides were also closed, and small traders were not allowed to enter for the time being.

The team started slowly and stopped in front of the west corner gate of Rongguo Mansion.

The manager of the Rongguo Mansion hurried up and said, "Second Master, please wait a moment, Miss Lin is still in the old lady's room."

Jia Qing understood, at about this time the grandparent and grandson were hugging each other and crying.If no one dissuades you, you can cry for an hour.

Jia Qing got off his horse and strode into Rongguo Mansion.

Not as Jia Qing thought, Jia's mother was still very rational, knowing that Jia Qing's affairs could not be delayed, when Jia Qing arrived at Rongqingtang, Jia's mother was sending Lin Daiyu out.

"Look, old ancestor, what would you do if I hadn't reminded you, old man, that someone came to your door to urge you now, and you lost face?"

Seeing Jia Qing coming in, the sharp-eyed Wang Xifeng smiled at Jia's mother.

"Grandson greets the ancestors."

Jia Qing stepped forward and saluted Jia's mother, then looked at Daiyu who was beside her.There were tears on her face supported by Zijuan, obviously she had cried just now.

Jia Mu said: "Since you are here, take your sister out, don't forget what I told you!"

"Yes, my ancestor."

"Grandmother..." Daiyu called out, saying her last farewell.

Mother Jia suppressed her emotions, waved her hands and said, "Go, go."

Seeing this, Jia Qing took Daiyu's hand without saying a word, and led her to the front door, while bidding farewell to everyone behind him with the other hand.

After Jia Qing and the others disappeared, Mother Jia looked around and asked, "Where's Baoyu?"

Many people smiled knowingly, and it was hard to talk, Wang Xifeng said: "It's not the ancestors, Brother Jiabao really wants to follow Sister Lin to the south of the Yangtze River to see Uncle Lin, but you don't want to let me, so I'm probably hiding in the house and crying !"

After hearing this, Mother Jia sighed, turned around silently, and went back to Rongqing Hall.

……

After leaving the Rongqing hall, a soft sedan chair stops here, ready to carry Daiyu and wait to go out.Jia Qing stopped, suddenly seemed to realize something, and said to one of the servant girls who had been following behind him, "Why are you following?"

Qingwen pouted, dissatisfied that Jia Qing took so long to discover her, so she ignored Jia Qing and stepped forward to help Daiyu get into the sedan chair.

Daiyu also didn't answer with a smile, but Zijuan was obedient, and said with a smile: "The old lady is afraid that there will be fewer people on the way to take care of the girl, so she said that she will pick two more capable people to follow, so no one will recommend herself..."

After Zijuan finished speaking, she started laughing, and immediately broke Qingwen's cold-faced magic skill, and her face became ashamed.

Jia Qing understood, thinking why didn't she think at the time, let Peifeng and the others pretend to be Daiyu's maids, wouldn't it be all right?

It seems that I can't predict everything first.

Now, it is not necessary.

"Second Master, get on the sedan chair."

A woman in charge stepped forward to ask Jia Qing to get on the sedan chair. There is still a way from here to the front of the mansion.

Jia Qing shook his head, indicating no need.Seeing that Daiyu had already got into the sedan chair, she ordered, "Let's go."

"Get up~"

……

At the Xicheng Wharf, a huge official ship stood, within thirty feet of it, apart from two small escort ships, there was not a single civilian ship.

A businessman who was rushing early was too frightened to approach by the two rows of clerks who were fighting with open flames in the middle, so he walked to the side and asked another person, "What is this for?"

The man laughed and said, "The imperial envoy is on a mission! No matter what you have to do, just wait and don't be rash."

Hearing that it was an imperial envoy's trip, he quickly calmed down, and silently stood by the side with the man, waiting, by the way, to see this kind of demeanor that can only be seen in the capital.

Jia Qing rode a tall horse and wore a royal uniform, and came to the pier under the escort of a group of horses.There are three carriages behind, sitting Daiyu, Wang Momo (Daiyu's nurse) and others.

The team drove directly to the edge of the pier, in front of the giant official ship.Several people from the government have already been waiting there.

Jia Qing got off his horse, bowed his hands to the old man in charge and said: "The late birth, please forgive me, Old General Feng and everyone."

Shenwu General Feng Tang, father of Feng Ziying, deputy envoy on this trip.

Jia Qingchu was also very surprised when he first found out. You said that it is fine to send a military general as the deputy envoy, but you can also send a military general with such seniority and a second-rank military general. In terms of rank, he is on the same level as his title!

Feng Tang and others said: "General Jia, please be polite."

Jia Qing said: "Everyone wait a moment, Master Lin's beloved daughter is still in the car, I will come to ask you for advice after I settle it."

When Feng Tang heard this, he knew that the Jia and Lin families were so thick that they even raised their daughter in Jia's family.

"Sure, that's it. I'll wait for General Jia in the chamber."

As he said that, he took the other people and retreated.

This is to avoid suspicion.

Then, Jia Qingfang turned around and asked Daiyu to get off the car.

Opening the curtain of the carriage, I saw Daiyu quietly opening a corner of the curtain to watch the situation outside. Seeing Jia Qing opened the curtain to look in, she immediately turned her head to look at him.

"On board."

Said Jia Qing handed over a hand, Daiyu immediately took it, and walked out with a bow.

A woman came over with the stool that got off the car. Jia Qing thought it was troublesome, so she stretched out her hand, hugged Daiyu's frail body, and put it gently on the ground.

Zijuan from behind hurried over to help Daiyu, and said: "Second Master is afraid that the girl will fall..."

Daiyu blushed, but said: "You are smart and know everything."

Then just move on.

Jia Qing smiled, touched her face with her hands, and rushed to the front to lead the way.

The official boat is the same as the Fuchuan last time, and it is also on the second floor, but it is more spacious.Of course, the cabins where the boatmen and boatmen live are also counted as three floors.

Going up to the second floor, Jia Qing led Daiyu into the room, and Wang Momo suddenly said, "This seems to be the main room."

Daiyu stood still and looked at Jia Qing.

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Go in, this is specially arranged for you with someone I brought yesterday, you are satisfied!"

Wang Momo smiled and said: "It's good for the second master to love my sister, but this is an official ship, and the second master is an imperial envoy at this time, so it doesn't look like he doesn't live in the main house."

Jia Qing said: "It's okay, I've seen it, this room is the most spacious on this boat, my sister is not in good health and needs someone to take care of her, how can I move the room if it's too small?

Living here is just right for Zijuan and Xueyan to take care of them. "

Daiyu said: "I'm fine, what Mama Wang said is right, it's better for you, second brother, to live here."

Seeing Nanny Wang nodding her head and still wanting to persuade her, Jia Qing said to Daiyu: "Okay, come back with me!
I let you live here for a reason.I promise Uncle Lin to take good care of you.Now I take you back to see his old man. I was worried about your poor health.

Let the old man know that I live in a big house by myself and let his precious daughter live in a small house, won't he beat me?

So, without further ado, get in there.See if you are satisfied with the house I furnished you! "

Daiyu herself is not such a disciplined person, Jia Qing said so, and made her smile, so she didn't think much, and stepped into the room first.

In this way, the others stopped thinking about it and followed in, wanting to see what the house Jia Qing kept bragging about was like.

　There are two updates every day, if there is only one update suddenly, I feel a little uncomfortable...

　　Anyway, code it out.

　　In the future, write a chapter at night and write a chapter secretly during the day, preferably two chapters a day!

　　If it doesn't come true, please don't scold me...

　　Also, this is already the limit, the comrade who shouted Jiageng: the concubine can't do it...

　　(I can write more on Sundays when I have free time, but for the sake of stability, I think it’s better to save that point for emergency, and it won’t be able to support too much effect when it is published. The whole is still slower, so it’s better to seek stability.)
