On the evening of April 9, Jia Huan, Daiyu, and Lin Qianwei set off from Suzhou and returned to Jinling.

Jia Huan listened to Qian Huai's report in his cabin to find Xiangling's mother Zhen's wife. Qingwen and Ruyi were tidying up the bed in the cabin. The lights were bright. The sound of the flowing water on the canal was vaguely visible in the night.

Qian Huai smiled and reported the itinerary and said, "Third Master, I have made it clear. The fifty taels of silver you gave will be left to Aunt Zhen." When the third master got married, he thought that Miss Xiangling would follow him, and this matter would have a better ending.

Jia Huan smiled and said, "Yes. That's it."

After Qian Huai left, Ruyi poured tea for Jia Huan and reminded: "Third Master, Miss Lin has gotten angry several times in the past two days. Do you want to see her?" After worshiping Mr. Lin, after waiting for Qian Huai to return, the third master drank tea and chatted with Lin Qianwei who was visiting him every day. Miss Lin didn't care much about Miss Lin's affairs.

"It's probably because I'm in a bad mood in Suzhou. Just go back to Jinling." Jia Huan was in a good mood. He waved his hand, hugged Ruyi, and kissed her pretty face. The little girl lowered her head pretty.

Qingwen bent down to make the bed. When she turned around, she couldn't help but smile when she saw Jia Huan hugging Ruyi. Her pretty face turned red. The third master has been a little lustful recently. She said, "Third Master, isn't it! I heard Zijuan say that it's Miss Lin that it's Miss Lin that you are not happy to see another Miss Lin."

Jia Huan was stunned. What is the connection between this? Isn’t Daiyu’s bad mood related to her coming to Suzhou to visit the tombs?

Qingwen smiled with a straight mouth and said, "San Master, you used to ask about Miss Lin's daily life and diet in the morning, and then chat with her and chat with her at night. But these three days, after breakfast, you went directly to the living room to chat with the girl Lin Qianwei who came to visit you. At night, you only said a few words to Miss Lin and went back to the house to write and draw."

Who is Jia Huan? He just didn't expect that this person would come forward for a moment. He thought that Daiyu was sad because of her parents and she lost her temper. After hearing Qingwen's words, she understood. Daiyu changed her words to call him "third brother" these two days.

"Little girl's temper!" Jia Huan couldn't help laughing with emotion. The guardian was not a nanny! He was so meticulous before that because he was afraid that Daiyu would not get used to it. Now he has adjusted slowly and is it stable? Daiyu is dissatisfied with his concern for her recently.

He would write and draw in the house at night, and he would make plans for the Imperial College to publish teaching aids. After he returned to Jinling, he would go and talk to the mountain chief. Of course, he had to write a plan at hand.

OK. He admitted that part of the reason was that he and Lin Qianwei did have a more comfortable and comfortable chat. What topic can he have with an eleven-year-old girl? When talking to famous prostitutes with a wide range of knowledge, he naturally had a great time. Moreover, Lin Qianwei was still a great beauty.

It’s not that Daiyu is not beautiful, but she is still a little younger. He feels very stressed when he appreciates this beauty. Besides, Lin Ruhai entrusts Daiyu to him, so he can’t be a custodial agent like stealing, right? He is still a little taboo.

Jia Huan could roughly understand Daiyu's mood and thoughts, and a little child had a lack of the mentality of being pampered and coquettish for the elders. After thinking about it, he said, "I'll talk to Sister Lin tomorrow morning."

Daiyu will get married sooner or later. Besides, he will have to have some personal time, right?

My sister Lin... My sister Lin who doesn't make a little mean is not my sister Lin anymore.

…

Jia Huan rented a large ship with two floors, and went from Suzhou to Jinling. Lin Qianwei, who set out with Jia Huan, lived in a cabin in the middle section of the ship.

In the night, Lin Qianwei was washing her face in a copper basin. Yun Yao, the little maid who served her, pouted and said, "Girl, we are all back to Suzhou, why are we going back to Jinling?"

Lin Qianwei stood in front of the small round table and wrung the towel out in the basin of water, "Can I want to go back to Jinling?" Mingli's face was filled with an unspeakable charm. Obviously, she was in a great mood.

Yun Yao shook her head, and she didn't know what the girl was thinking, and she directly exposed: "Girl, there are so many masters in Jinling and Suzhou. You don't even look down on me? This prodigy Jia is six or seven years younger than you."

She bit the accent of "child prodigy".

Lin Qianwei asked with a smile: "Who stipulates that I can only marry those old men as concubines? I just want to marry someone I like. Can't I? Go and pour water quickly. I'm going to rest."

How can the little girl know that she appreciates Mr. Jia’s talent and character?

He can write beautiful sentences such as "I want to ask how much thinner Jiang Mei is", "Ice skin and jade bones are so beautiful", "Green women have been together for a thousand years", and also write the proud character of "The green pines are straight and straight", and there are also peerless masterpieces such as "When will the bright moon come to you". She has seen a talented man in Jiangnan, and no one can be with him.

She really wanted to know him. A person like a meteor and a swordsman. The first time she met, she had a deep impression on her. In his words, she was "pretending to be" and pretending to be too free and easy. No one knew the young man in the blue shirt? But as long as you report your name, who in the world doesn't know you?

She is young, but she can't wait for a few years.

"It's not too young. He's all engaged." Lin Qianwei, who was sleeping on the bed, murmured in the dark.

…

The walking of the river boat is a bit boring. It is very easy to go down from Jinling to Suzhou. The return journey depends on the situation. It is common to walk for ten days.

On the way, Jia Huan and Jia Qiang missed it like this. However, Jia Huan had no idea of ​​participating in Jia Qiang's procurement affairs. There was nothing to remind him. Anyway, he would go back to the Jia family at the end of next year to check the accounts.

On the early morning of April 10th, light rain continued, dotting the style of the canal on both sides.

After breakfast, Jia Huan took Qingwen and Ruyi to the hall on Daiyu to chat. Aunt Pei, Zijuan, Xiren and others were all there.

Seeing Jia Huan come in, Xiren lowered his head and felt a sense of misery. After all, the third master still didn't trust her. However, even if she went to sue her now, who else would she ask for? Can the wife still care about the third master now? Are she that stupid?

"The Third Master is here." Zijuan gave Jia Huan a smile, but was a little unhappy.

"Have you eaten by the third master?" Aunt Pei stood up, chuckled intellectually, and gave up her seat to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan smiled and nodded, "I've eaten." His eyes fell on Daiyu's face who stood up to face him. His delicate little face, his eyebrows were frowning, he was wearing a blue double-breasted jacket, and he held a book in his hand. A beautiful girl like flowers and jade. She looked at her and made people feel like she wanted to take care of her.

"Have Sister Lin eaten?"

"Um."

After a few greetings, everyone sat down. Jia Huan sat on a chair by the window and said straight to the point: "I have been busy with other things these days and neglected my sister's situation. How about it? How about the three meals in the morning, noon and evening? Are you still persisting in walking and exercise every day..."

This would be very straightforward. If it were the relationship between him and Daiyu in the Jia family a few years ago, Daiyu would probably ignore him. Negligence, do you care about my qualifications? But now I will not. This is what suits his identity.

Lin Daiyu didn't expect that Jia Huan would tell her why she got angry and lost her temper, and said softly: "It's all okay."

Jia Huan laughed and asked Zijuan and Xiren how Daiyu was doing.

Zijuan said deliberately and honestly: "Third Master, the girl felt uncomfortable at noon yesterday and didn't even take a good nap."

Seeing Zijuan looking loyal to protecting the master, Jia Huan smiled and shook his head. How could he not see her little thoughts? He said to Daiyu: "Sister, don't worry. Uncle Lin entrusts you to me, and I will at least take care of you until you get married. After your wishful husband takes over, I have to ask Sister Bao from time to time to ask you about your situation and support you. I will not forget what Uncle Lin entrusts me to me. Besides, which brother would not spoil her like a beautiful girl?"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but be coquettish, "Third Brother..." her little face turned slightly red, with a different kind of romantic and charming.

If Jia Huan's words were about being a young man of his peers, it would be almost teasing. But Jia Huan said it as an elder. These are very close and caring words. The words he said naturally the few people here believed it. This is his personal reputation.

Jia Huan almost fell into Daiyu's style and smiled bitterly in his heart. This is really a beauty of disaster. Then he said, "So, my sister wants to allow me to have some private time, okay?"

The private time Jia Huan mentioned does not mean omitting the time to care about in the morning and evening every day, but rather leaving him to "chat" with the beauty.

Daiyu was angry and made her little man. Of course, Jia Huan would not be as humble as Bao Erge, who would apologize for the minority, and he would make ten days and half a month before he could make up. In fact, Baoyu offended Daiyu, and most of it was because he wanted to take advantage of Daiyu. The impulse of the little kid in his first love was understandable. It's so vague!

Of course, Daiyu is a very sensitive little man.

Jia Huan's solution is to directly present facts and reason with Daiyu. In fact, this is his strength. Daiyu is not an unreasonable person. And to be a girl with low voice, soft words, and hard work is the big face treasure's magical skill of flirting girls.

Daiyu said "yes" as she said ashamedly, and her grievance gradually disappeared, and she said with a clear voice: "Third Brother, what happened on the boat on the Taihu Lake a few days ago? You haven't told us yet."

Zijuan opened her mouth, but it was hard to say anything. She actually knew the crux of the girl's heart. The women the third master knew were all too beautiful. It's not that the girl didn't believe in the third master. The key was that there was Su Shishi in front and there was another girl Lin behind. They were all beautiful women. If the third master wanted to take a concubine, how could he take care of the girl? Then should they move out to live without suspicion? What kind of weight and position does the girl put in the third master's heart?

Jia Huan responded to Daiyu's words, smiled and said, "Meet an old acquaintance..."

In the sad light rain, the tower ship slowly moved forward in the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou, and there were always chuckles.

…

In the afternoon, after soothing Daiyu's mood, Jia Huan and Lin Qianwei drank tea and enjoyed the rain at the table next to the window.

Lin Qianwei is straightforward, but she is very smart. She can become a famous prostitute and will not have low IQ or EQ. She chuckled and said, "Have you handled all the things at home?" Jia Huan chatted there all morning in the morning.

Jia Huan smiled, "Yes." He chatted with Lin Qianwei, but he would not explain too much about his family's situation.

"Oh, haven't you asked Miss Lin to go back to Jinling to participate in the Courtesan Competition at the end of April? I think there is such a thing."

Lin Qianwei blinked her eyes and shook her head with a smile, "No. I haven't wanted to compete for the title of a courtesan. There are dark stories inside."

Jia Huan smiled and praised: "Smart!"

There is nothing wrong with the beauty pageant, do you believe it? However, there are many business opportunities such as the beauty pageant, such as the big event. Wasn’t he still worried about money two days ago?

Lin Qianwei received Jia Huan's praise and immediately smiled. She smiled like a flower.

Jia Huan asked about the organizational methods, procedures, award evaluation methods and other matters of Lin Qianwei's Courtesan Competition. Time passed slowly. (To be continued.)
