Red makeup against the world

Chapter 71 Goodwill
Different from the gloomy clouds and mist in the Lin Mansion, everyone in "Moon Xia Residence" got along harmoniously, and there was a peaceful atmosphere, with bursts of laughter.

Xu Wanzhen put on a cloak, sat on a bamboo chair under the eaves, looked towards the courtyard with a smile.The illness came and went like a mountain, even though Yingfeng's internal force protected her heart, after all, her body was suffering from the cold, how could she recover in just two days.Even when she was sitting, she still felt a little weak. Sang Zi and Madam Zheng waited on her attentively behind her.

Xu Wenyu was holding a feather arrow and aiming intently. About two meters in front of him, there was a red clay painted pottery pot.Han Yi stood behind him, correcting his posture with his hands.As the feather arrow flew out, Xu Wenyu opened his eyes wide and did not blink, until he saw the feather arrow entering the pot, and then cheered, "Yeah! I threw it in again!"

During the short time Han Yi came to the Xu family, he was unanimously approved by all the elders of the Xu family.Although he is not good at words, the master of the Xu family values ​​behavior more.He is honest and honest, behaves well, accepts gifts, and is willing to work.Mrs. Xu specially ordered, "Han Yi sells himself into Xu's house, it's just an expedient measure. Unlike ordinary servants, the whole family should not belittle him."

Therefore, Xu Wanzhen, Xu Wenyu, Su Liangzhi and others who are younger than him are all referred to as Big Brother Han Yi.However, he didn't become frivolous because of this, he still kept his duty and gave priority to several people.

In the south side room, Han Runiang was lying on the edge of the window, looking at the happy Xu Wenyu in the yard, her eyes were curled up with laughter.Ever since she knew that Xu Wan was taken away because of her troubles, she locked herself in the south side room and did not go out if she could.

Huafan complained: "Miss, what's the point of looking here, please go out and don't go."

Han Runiang shook her head, this is Yangzhou after all, and she didn't want to add any trouble to the Xu family.Huashan sat on the side angrily, Han Runiang didn't go out, as her personal maid, she didn't go out to play except to serve food and fetch water.

Mrs. Xu asked Su Liangzhi in the room, "How do you think Zhener's condition is? Can he stand the turbulence on the boat?"

Su Liangzhi said: "Madam, please don't worry, I have checked her pulse carefully. From the pulse, the cold air has been dispelled, and the rest is to take good care of the body and not to be tired. Whether it is on a boat or on land, it is the same. It's all right. Just be careful not to catch the wind."

Mrs. Xu nodded and said: "Yulu, go and tell Xu Le'an to make arrangements, and we will leave tomorrow. Also, go to 'Hefeng' to visit Master Qian and give him a thank you gift. By the way, I'm sorry for the delay. These days, ask them if they are still walking with us?" In the past two days, I haven't found a reason to send a thank you gift.

Yulu agreed, and went to order without mentioning it.

All the servants on board received the order to set off and performed their duties.Each ship checks by itself to see if there are any omissions in food, water and other supplies.

Xu Le'an visited Qian Feng, and reported to Mrs. Xu: "Master Qian said, let's go together tomorrow." He presented Qian Feng's return gift.

Yulu took the gift list, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "A box of four-color fruits, a silk fan, a piece of Buddhist green tribute satin ruler, and a string of nine chains."

Mrs. Xu also laughed when she heard this, the gift was very particular.The thank-you gift from the Xu family was grand and precious. It was to thank Qian Feng for saving Xu Wanzhen, and it also meant to take money to keep her secret. After all, the name of the daughter's family was important.

Qian Feng's gift in return was not expensive, but it took some thought.The four-color fruit can be enjoyed by everyone in the Xu family; the silk fan was given to Xu Wanzhen; the Buddha blue color is calm, and the satin is extravagant, which is obviously suitable for Mrs. Xu; as for the nine chains, of course it is prepared for Xu Wenyu.The meaning of these return gifts is that I accept the thank you gift, and I, Qian Feng, only have respect and love for the three masters of the Xu family, and have no other thoughts.

Mrs. Xu readily accepted Qian Feng's kindness.

In the early morning of the next day, with the crowing of the rooster, the whole city of Yangzhou woke up from sleep.The sun rose with the rays of the sun, dispelling the spring mist from the river, indicating that this is another good weather.Gradually, there were few people on the street, those who rushed to the early market, those who sold early, as well as the prodigals who stayed overnight in brothels, and gamblers who gambled all night.

"Yuexiaju" also started to get busy, transporting the packed boxes and cages to the wharf of the tea garden one after another.Xu Le'an hired a boat and waited here early in the morning.After all the masters and servants of the Xu family boarded the boat, they rowed slowly towards the outside of the city.

Everyone got off the boat at the Yudai River Wharf, turned the carriage, and then returned to the Guazhou Bay Wharf.

This is the third time for Xu Wanzhen to come to this pier.On the night of the day she disappeared, she returned to the Guazhou Bay Wharf after going through many adventures.That night in the spring night, there was thunder, the cold wind howled, and the cold rain hit the face, which made the Guazhou Bay Wharf very cold.As she walked, she only felt shivering and chilling.

Now the sun is rising, surrounded by familiar relatives.With Mrs. Xu's benevolent eyes behind her, Xu Wenyu bouncing by her side, and the little uncle of the Su family leading the way, Xu Wanzhen felt that her body and mind were wrapped in warmth and she was extremely comfortable.It seems that the wind and cold in the past few days have improved a lot.

A group of people boarded the big boat of Yin's family, Xu Wanzhen looked back at the pier.Seeing Qian Feng and several people striding aboard the Qian family's fleet.It's just that the person beside Qian Feng, Xu Wan really has a familiar feeling, carefully identify it, but she has never seen it before.

Sang Zi said crisply: "Miss, it's very windy outside. Third Master Su has told you that you must not blow the wind." Xu Wan was really helpless, so she could only suppress the doubts in her heart and enter the cabin.

Half a moment later, with the melodious chant, the fleet set sail, slowly leaving Yangzhou City behind the ship.This trip will leave the Jiangnan River and go straight to Chuzhou at the end of Sishui.Then enter Tongji Canal from Chuzhou.

The Xu family has more than ten masters and servants, but they only stayed in Yangzhou City for a few days, and the huge changes brought to the city are slowly brewing and fermenting.

The downfall of the giant salt merchant in Jin, Yin Chengye, not only fulfilled Xiong Xingyun.Governor Peng, the officials of the Yangzhou government office, and the officials who inspected the Yin's government office were all beaming when they saw that they were involved.Salt merchants, large and small, except for the part preserved by Lin Xunshi, divided up Yin Chengye's salt quotations, and I don't know what kind of tragedy and comedy will be staged.

The only ones who really grieved for Yin Chengye were the family members who came from afar.Mrs. Yin's white-haired man gave away her black-haired man, Mrs. Yin's Yang family lost her husband, and Yin Boguang lost his father's care at a young age.Housekeeper Xia handed over the property he kept to Mrs. Yin, and several people held a funeral for Yin Chengye.

The salt seal left by Yin Chengye was also handed over to Mrs. Yin by Lin Xunshi.But Mrs. Yin resold this part of the salt on the spot, took her family back to Jindi, and taught Yin Boguang, the only hope of the Yin family.

Because of the eunuch of the only heir, Lin Jiabao, in the Lin family, the house is restless all day long.Lin Taihong married another good concubine for the sake of his heir, and was stabbed to death by the crazy and desperate Mrs. Lin just after she was pregnant with the child, killing one body and two lives.

Lin Jiabao was frightened first, then castrated, and gradually lost his mind.He often muttered: "Kill me! Shadow guard...let me go..."

Lin Taihong hired famous doctors in Jiangnan Road for him, but he still didn't see any improvement.He had to pay out money and dismiss Lin Jiabao's wives and concubines, which can be regarded as accumulating some virtue.
