With a hundred thousand guan tied around his waist, he rode a crane down to Yangzhou.

She has been prosperous since ancient times. In the whole world, except for Jinling and Luoyang, no city in the world can surpass Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is also beautiful in October.

The slow autumn light cannot be retained, and the red leaves are full of dusk.

It's a pity that Jia Lian didn't care about these beautiful scenery, and only focused on looking through the window of the carriage, unscrupulously looking at Yangzhou, which was different from the northern country.

Just when Jia Hui conquered Gai Ze, Jia Lian also arrived in Yangzhou.

As soon as they got off the boat, the sharp-eyed steward of the Lin family saw his housekeeper. The person in front of him must be the young nephew of his wife's mother's family.

The steward of the Lin family stayed where he was, watching the unloading of the goods with the steward of the Jia family who had accompanied them south. The steward of the Lin family took eighty generals to the Xunyan Censor's Mansion.

Getting closer and closer to the Censor's Mansion, Jia Lian became quieter and became more and more nervous from looking around at first.

In his limited memory, his aunt was not a good person.

One of my favorite hobbies before getting married was teasing the younger generation.

Especially the three brothers Huizhulian.

It's okay not to think about it, but now the more I think about it, the more panic I get.

How Jia Lian wished the carriage could keep going like this.

But the carriage stopped anyway. As soon as the door curtain was opened, the Lin family's housekeeper asked Jia Lian to get out of the car first. Jia Lian decided that it would be better to go in first and have a look. Maybe her aunt would become a good wife and mother after giving birth to her cousin.

My aunt's family lives in the backyard of the Yushi Mansion, and the front yard is the office space. Outsiders should not be allowed to enter, but Jia Lian is a first-class Shenwei general in the Rongguo Mansion, and he also has the official body of a dragon guard, so he can barely walk through the gate.

Lin Hai was already waiting in front of Chuihua Gate.

Lin Hai was also very happy about the arrival of Jia Lian, his nephew.

It has been nearly six years since he was awarded the title of seventh-grade supervisory censor of Lantai Temple after the end of his political watch, and was sent to Yangzhou by Lantai Temple as the censor of salt inspection. During these six years, in addition to being the steward who gave New Year gifts, his wife Jia Min I haven’t seen my mother-in-law’s family in nearly six years.

Although his wife never said anything, Lin Hai felt more and more guilty when he saw the smile on his wife's face getting less and less.

Well now, the eldest brother-in-law of the Yue family sent his legitimate son to Yangzhou to play with his wife...to take care of his wife. Lin Hai is even more looking forward to Jia Lian's arrival.

Until now, Lin Hai still hasn't told Jia Min about Jia Lian's arrival.

There was a noise in front of him. Lin Hai took a few steps forward and saw a handsome young boy walking towards him. Lin Hai recognized Jia Lian at a glance. Although his figure had grown longer, his facial features were still the same as six years ago. Same.

Jia Lian saw that his uncle Lin Hai was already standing in front of Chuihua Gate waiting for him, so he quickly walked over and saluted.

"My nephew Jia Lian, meet my uncle..."

"Why are my family so polite? Come on, brother Lian, come with me to meet your aunt."

Lin Hai quickly picked up Jia Lian, smiled and touched the horns on Jia Lian's head, and pulled him towards Jia Min.

"Ah, uncle, didn't you tell aunt that I came to Yangzhou?"

While walking on the road, Lin Hai and Jia Lian talked about his surprise plan for Jia Min, and Jia Lian was a little surprised.

"I never said it before. It's already noon and I've prepared a banquet. You follow Qiu Ju to the banquet and wait while I go find your aunt."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Hai walked towards Jia Min's courtyard and stepped away from Jia Lian. Jia Lian had experienced this kind of scene for the first time and had nothing to say, so he followed Qiu Ju towards the main hall.

An old lady was already sitting in the main hall. Seeing Jia Lian come in, she looked at him with a smile. Jia Lian recognized the old lady of the Lin family who had come to the house when her aunt got married a few years ago, and immediately knelt down to say hello.

"Jia family Jia Lian, please be safe and well, my old lady!"

Mother Lin repeatedly asked Jia Lian to come to him, took out a small gold necklace with Manjushri Bodhisattva from her sleeve and hung it around Jia Lian's neck. Jia Lian pushed it away for a few times, saying, "I dare not refuse the gift from the elders" and accepted it. Mother Lin saw Jia Lian's little face with some baby fat. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She couldn't help but rub Jia Lian's head with her hands.

Jia Minyuan.

Lin Hai walked to the door, rubbed his face, put on a slightly disappointed and guilty expression, and opened Jia Min's door.

Jia Min is teaching a little girl to practice calligraphy.

The two of them seemed to be carved from the same mold, with peerless elegance coming from their very bones.

It's just that the older one's eyebrows were raised, and when he saw the woman with a cheerful and cheerful personality, there was a hint of sadness on her eyebrows.

The smaller one has two eyebrows that look like a frown but not a frown, and a pair of eyes that look like happiness but not happiness. At the age of five or six, she already knew that she would be as beautiful as her mother in the future. Maybe it's because of his poor health. He grew up in a medicine jar, so he feels a bit sad at a young age.

This is mother and daughter Jia Min, Lin Daiyu.

Jia Min heard the sound at the door, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, but when she saw her husband's guilty look, she knew better, and the sadness on her brows became even more intense.

Daiyu felt the sadness emanating from her back, quickly put down her pen and shrank into Jia Min's arms.

"Min'er, this is the Yue family..." Lin Hai didn't know how to speak.

"Okay, needless to say, they probably forgot about me as a distantly married woman." As she spoke, Jia Min's face was no longer cheerful, and she hugged her daughter tightly and cried.

Daiyu knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so she quietly huddled in her mother's arms and let Jia Min cry.

Lin Hai's scalp was numb, and he knew something was going wrong. A while ago, he could only sigh, "It's like this again," and then do whatever he had to do. Why was he crying now? Could it be that I'm feeling sentimental because of my pregnancy?

At this point, Lin Hai decided to speed up the process.

"How could the Yue family forget about my wife? It's just that the family can't send anyone here. My uncle is a first-class general, not an emperor's envoy. Whenever he leaves the city, he has to report to the Governor's Mansion, let alone go to Jiangnan.

My second uncle also works in the Ministry of Industry, so I can't get away from it. Brother Zhu is preparing for the spring exam and has a heavy workload.

Lian'er is too young, let alone Baoyu. Wait until next year. Next year, my job of patrolling the salt censor will be over. Then our whole family will return to Beijing together. You can stay at your parents' house for as many days as you want. "Lin Hai also persuaded Jia Min.

After hearing that she would return to Beijing next year, Jia Min stopped crying and just stared at Lin Hai pitifully with red eyes.

"real?"

"It's true. The Salt Patrol Censor is elected for five years. At the beginning of the year, if Hu Censor, who came to replace me, was caught in a labor riot to demand wages and was beaten to death, we would have gone back this year. The Holy Father said, let I’ll stay on for another year and send someone to replace me next year.”

At the beginning of the year, the governor of water transportation was not the right person.

For the canal workers, if they have ten pennies, being greedy for two pennies is a blue sky, being greedy for three pennies is ordinary, being greedy for four pennies is a dog official, and being greedy for five pennies is unconscionable. But food prices have been low in recent years, so we can barely survive.

But if you are greedy for ten things, you will kill everyone!

On the day after work was released, the Governor's Palace of Water Transport was killed by the furious water workers. The dogs passing by were beaten into hot pots and the earthworms were cut into half vertically.

Cao Bing was left alone, because Cao Bing was also corrupted by 70%.

The unlucky Yushi Hu was treated as an official of the Governor's Mansion and chopped into pieces just because he was temporarily staying in the Governor's Mansion.

Soon, the imperial court sent a new group of water transport officials. Those elder brothers who took the lead in asking for wages also knew that they would not survive, so they reached a consensus with the water transport yamen and committed suicide.

That's how it went.

No way, a large part of the team that Taizu started his career came from the Caobang. After the founding of Daqi, the Caobang was banned, and a new governor's office for water transport was established.

Therefore, the plow workers are proud of their profession from the bottom of their hearts.

Taizu also did this!

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Taizu also missed the days of living in Caogang, saying that it was the most carefree time in his life, so he took great care of his group of Caogong workers, making it increasingly difficult to manage them.

But this group of people were very loyal to the Chen royal family. Whenever there was a war, tens of thousands of people would join the army, and the Chen royal family also reciprocated their trust.

It's just that the water transportation yamen sandwiched in the middle is getting more and more difficult.

Lin Hai was also forced to stay for one more year.

Lin Hai felt numb when he saw Daiyu, whose eyes started to turn red due to the influence of her mother's emotions.

Anyway, after meeting Jia Lian, he can't escape the fate of being punished, so let's continue acting.

Lin Hai took the mother and daughter into his arms.

"It's all because my husband is incompetent and is looked down upon by the in-law family. I'm sorry for you and your mother!" Lin Hai also choked up.

Hearing the sound of her husband trying not to cry, Jia Min couldn't hold it in any longer and started to cry loudly.

Daiyu was also affected by the atmosphere and sobbed softly.

When Lin Hai thought of his wife's methods, he couldn't help crying.

A family of three, no, it was a family of four, hugging each other and crying as if they had been wronged.

After not crying for long, Lin Hai stopped crying and said to Jia Min and her daughter: "Don't cry anymore. It's already noon, and it's impossible for the Yue family to fly over. It's better not to keep mother waiting. Go quickly." Go and eat."

Jia Min also stopped crying, took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, and then wiped Daiyu's tears as well.

"What I'm saying is, Daiyu, don't cry. If they don't come to see me, I won't. I don't care about it. Eating is important. It's not worth hurting your body over these things."

After saying that, Lin Hai took Daiyu's hand, took Jia Min's other hand, and walked towards Mother Lin's house.

At Mother Lin's side, Jia Lian was also numbed by all of Mother Lin's questions and was tired of dealing with them.

The questions were okay at first, just asking how my family was doing.

Then he asked himself.

"How are your studies?" "What more books should you study?", and then slowly asked "Are you engaged?" "Is there a girl you like?" These questions made Jia Lian's face redder and redder.

Mother Lin didn't seem to notice Jia Lian's embarrassment, but when she saw Jia Lian's face getting redder and redder, she smiled more kindly.

"Mother." "Mrs...." "Grandma!"

The heavenly sound coming from outside the door rescued Jia Lian, who was almost steaming.

Jia Lian looked out the door gratefully.

Mother Lin saw the red eyes of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter looking at her son at the door unkindly.

Jia Min saluted Mother Lin and was wondering who the young boy sitting with her mother-in-law was when she saw the young boy turning towards her.

It looks so familiar. This face looks a bit like...

"Ah, Lian'er!"

The sudden surprise made Jia Min breathless and fell backwards. Lin Hai quickly supported his wife and gave him some relief.

Daiyu, who had already run to her grandmother, looked at her mother worriedly. Just as she was thinking about the past, Jia Min calmed down.

Thanks to Jia Min Jiangmen's good background, he took a few deep breaths and stood up again from Lin Hai's arms.

"Lian'er, Ruhai, you guys..."

Jia Min realized something and turned to look at Lin Hai who was smiling.

Lin Hai's hair suddenly stood up and his scalp was numb. He saw Jia Minying's eyebrows knitted together in anger, her eyes narrowed, and she was poking at herself like a knife.

Lin Hai realized that his wife was really angry and turned around to leave.

"You Lin Ruhai, if you dare to team up with my nephew to play tricks on me, you will die!"

Jia Min grabbed Lin Hai and hooked her right foot, tripping her helpless husband to the ground. Just ride on his belly and start beating him.

Teach you the martial arts passed down by my mother-in-law!

Jia Lian and Dai Yu took a deep breath, and Mother Lin laughed and said that her son had gone too far and should be beaten.

Hearing the sound of gasping for cold air, Jia Min turned around and looked at Jia Lian. Jia Lian felt as if he was being stared at by a big insect.

"Whatever you are looking at, you are not a good person!"

After saying that, she continued to beat her husband on the crotch.

I was forced too!

Jia Lian shouted in his heart.

It's all Uncle Lin's fault!
