Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 106 Arriving in Chang'an
On this day, Jia Qiong's passenger ship arrived in Yangzhou.

He asked the boatman to dock temporarily, and he went to Xunyan Censor's Yamen alone to visit Lin Ruhai.

Jia Qiong and Lin Ruhai often exchanged letters, and their relationship was both teacher and friend.

According to the time calculation of the original work, Lin Ruhai should be seriously ill and die within two years.

Jia Qiong came here this time to check on his physical condition.

When Jia Qiong arrived, Lin Ruhai was handling official duties in the government office.

Hearing that Jia Qiong had arrived, he was extremely pleasantly surprised and quickly invited Jia Qiong to the back hall.

Needless to say, the two exchanged greetings after meeting. Jia Qiong carefully observed Lin Ruhai's physical condition.

I found that Lin Ruhai was indeed a bit older than when they first met three years ago. It was obvious that she had worked a lot on official duties.

Jia Qiong looked at his complexion and found that his complexion was dark yellow and his body was thin. He was probably not in good health.

"Uncle, how are you doing lately?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Haha, I have been suffering from minor ailments all the time, but not serious ones. I have gotten used to it over the years."

Jia Qiong advised: "Uncle, you should take good care of yourself. Your body is important. Don't work too hard."

"Thank you Yu Jing for reminding me, I will pay attention.

When you come to Beijing this time, there will be no problem in being named on the gold list. With your talent, the Holy One will definitely use it.

But now that the situation between the DPRK and China is quite delicate, and you have a special status, I think you should stick to the golden mean and act with caution. "

Jia Qiong nodded and said: "Yes, my nephew understands.

Last month I received a letter from Sister Lin, saying that she wanted to return to Yangzhou to see her uncle.

But you don't allow it, why? "

Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment before saying: "Except for me not wanting your sister to come back, I really can't take care of her.

The job of patrolling the salt censor is not easy because the water in Yangzhou is very deep.

In the past few years, I have investigated the deficit in salt classes over the years and cracked down on the sale of illegal salt. I don’t know how many people I have offended.

If my half-broken body dies here, it will be considered worthy of the emperor's favor, but I don't want Yu'er to suffer along with me. "

Jia Qiong heard the hidden meaning in his words, and he asked cautiously: "Could it be that my uncle found something?"

Lin Ruhai waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "Don't ask about this matter, it will be of no use to you if you know about it.

Yu'er is far away in Chang'an. As a father, I am beyond my reach. I will ask you to take more care of her in the future. "

"This is natural, uncle, don't worry."

After bidding farewell to Lin Ruhai, Jia Qiong continued northward along the river.

After crossing Hongze Lake and entering the Central Plains region, we saw that the villages on both sides of the canal were desolate.

Jia Qiong knows that there is a severe drought in the Central Plains, Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other places this year.

Thinking that many people had gone out to flee the famine, that was why the scene on both sides of the canal was like this, he sighed in his heart.

In recent years, natural disasters have occurred continuously in Dachu.

Floods occurred frequently in the Yangtze River Basin last year. Last year's earthquake in Sichuan caused heavy losses. This year there is another severe drought in the Central Plains.

This series of disasters has made the court exhausted.

Fortunately, the land of Jiubian has been stable in recent years. Otherwise, natural disasters and military disasters would occur, and I wonder if the imperial court would be able to withstand it.

Calculating time, the current period, in original history, was roughly the Little Ice Age at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, there were constant natural disasters and the people were in dire straits, so they rose up and destroyed the Yuan Dynasty.
Because of this opportunity, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to establish the Ming Dynasty as a poor man.

Not knowing how the history of this world will develop, Jia Qiong also felt a little confused at this time.

The original work of "The Red Mansion" is basically all garden drama, and there is too little part about the outside world, making it difficult for him to predict the weather.

After a non-stop journey, Jia Qiong and others finally returned to Chang'an before the river froze.

When the ship arrived at Huayin County, Jia Qiong had ordered Tian Li to ride back to Beijing to make preparations.

At this moment, at the Weishui pier, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and the stewards of the Wang family, who were appointed by the Ningrong Palace to greet Jia Qiong, had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Jia Qiong got off the boat, Jia Lian came up to greet her first.Jia Lian cupped his hands and said, "Brother Qiong, please make it easy for me to wait."

"Brother Lian, why bother coming to pick me up in person? This makes me feel uneasy."

"Brother Qiong returned home with great honor and brought honor to our Jia family. This is what we should be doing."

Jia Rong went directly forward, knelt down on one knee, and saluted.

"My nephew Jia Rong pays my respects to my uncle. My ancestors sent me and Uncle Lian to greet my uncle. Please come and say hello to me."

"Get up, brother Rong, you are a few years older than me, so you don't need to pay such a big courtesy."

After Jia Rong stood up, he came up with a smile and said, "My nephew hasn't congratulated you yet.

My uncle, Xie Yuanlang from high school, married the daughter of Wangge's hometown. He was really envious of others. "

Jia Qiong looked at this handsome boy with red lips and white teeth, thinking to himself that you have a good body, but it's a pity that your head is green.

He asked: "You are also married, right? I wonder whose girl you are marrying?"

Jia Rong smiled and said: "My nephew also got married last year. My father-in-law is Yuanhao, the direct grandson of Duke Li Guo. He is now a first-class son."

Jia Qiong was stunned for a moment. He had never inquired about Jia Rong's marriage before. After all, it was useless to inquire. He could still object.

But I didn't expect that Jia Rong's wife actually changed. It seems that it was probably affected by the butterfly effect of his time traveling.

Jia Qiong thought that this was fine, Qin Keqing should be able to escape the fate of being a prostitute in Tianxiang Tower in this life.

It's just that he probably won't have the chance to see the most beautiful girl in the Red Mansion with her beauty, and he feels a little regretful.

Jia Qiong quickly came to his senses and said with a smile: "Then I congratulate you too.

Second brother Lian, I just arrived in the capital today and I have to settle down with my family.

You go back and help me confess to the old lady. I won't go there today. I'll go there tomorrow to say hello. "

Jia Lian smiled and said: "The old lady means the same thing. She also said that she must meet her younger siblings, so you must go there together."

"Okay, I understand. Tell the old lady that we will definitely go there tomorrow."

After sending Jia Lian and Jia Rong away, the palace steward also came forward to say hello.

Jia Qiong told him that he would bring Wang Yuyan back in a few days, and asked him to go back too.

Wang Yuyan and other female relatives then got off the boat and got on the carriage that Tian Li had prepared in advance to return to the city.

This time they went to Beijing with their family, and they had a lot of miscellaneous things. When they were packing up, it was almost dark.

Cousin Xu Shan guards the palace and cannot leave his post without permission.

He has to be on duty in the palace these days, and it will be a few days before he can return for his shift.

After dinner, Shen Biyun called Jia Qiong into her room alone and said to him: "Now that you and your brother have married and established a family, it is a bit inappropriate to live together anymore.

Besides, this house is a bit small, so it’s not convenient for a big family to squeeze together.

I asked your cousin to buy another house, not far away, right next to Cuiyun Bridge.

I asked someone to clean it up in the past few days, and we moved there after finishing it. "

Jia Qiong has lived with Shen Biyun and the others since time traveled, and they are in the same family.

When Leng Buding heard that they were moving out, he felt very sad.

“Aunt, why didn’t you tell me earlier.

If the house is small, we can just buy a bigger one. There is no need to live separately. "

Shen Biyun smiled and said: "The small house is secondary.

Your cousin has also started a family and started a business. He doesn't look good to outsiders without having his own family, and it will be inconvenient for him to socialize in the future. "

Jia Qiong also knew that her aunt was right, so she could only nod in agreement.

Only then did Jia Qiong realize that now he was the head of the family and needed to establish a household on his own.

　The coding is quite hasty today. If you have any questions, please remind me. I will start with these tonight, and I will update two more chapters in the early morning.
