The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Hearing Rong Mama's tone of "keep away from strangers" and looking at the imperial edict in her hand, Jia She's face twitched, as he saw that she obviously didn't look like someone who was easy to deal with.

He originally wanted to go up and get close to him, but he didn't expect that the other party was so powerful. He immediately gave him a warning with an imperial edict.

Fortunately, Jia She was very thick-skinned and smiled awkwardly as if nothing had happened.

He smiled and clasped his fists.

"I am Jia She, the heir to the title of Rongguo Mansion."

"She is the wife of Lin Ruhai, the Imperial Censor of Yangzhou's Salt District, and the brother of your young lady's mother, Jia Min."

"I've been waiting here for a long time. I came here specially..."

Jia She was still talking with great interest, but when he looked up, he found that Rong Mama had turned around and walked onto the boat.

Helplessly, I stretched out my hand, but didn't know what to say.

If the other party was just a servant in his brother-in-law's family, even if it was the salt inspector Lin Ruhai,

Associations will never be so helpless.

But Dai Quan, the eunuch beside the current emperor, had just read out the emperor's decree in public.

Even if he was a political idiot, he knew he should restrain himself at this moment.

He reluctantly flicked his sleeves, only to find that his disappointing son Jia Lian was slowly getting up on the deck.

He immediately became furious and shouted angrily,

"You evil creature! How could you let your cousin float on the river for so long?"

"Hurry up and move your things down and prepare to go back home!"

Then he turned around and shouted at the servants from the Jia Mansion who were accompanying him from a distance,

"What are you all doing lying around? Why don't you hurry up and bring the carriage, screen, sedan chair, and other things over here, and wait for me, the master, to do it myself?"

For a time,

The entire dock suddenly became chaotic again.

However, it was mostly the servants of Rongguo Mansion who acted together.

After all, the person on the boat had just been canonized as a county lady by the emperor. No one wanted to offend her at this moment, and everyone wanted to see how elegant this county lady was.

But to their disappointment, Jia She directly ordered people to take a screen from a carriage and cordon off the area where the boats disembarked.

Jia Yucun, the teacher of the Lin Mansion who had just walked out of the cabin, wanted to approach and get close to the people when he saw the people from the Rongguo Mansion.

But when he saw Jia She jumping around like that, with his pointed and monkey-like face, he shook his head helplessly.

He then turned around silently and walked back into the house.

Rong Mama ignored the noise on the shore and went straight up to the second floor and into Lin Daiyu's room.

He handed the imperial edict to Lin Daiyu, who looked confused.

"Miss!"

Lin Daiyu came back to her senses and glanced at the imperial edict with her beautiful eyes.

Obviously, he was not very surprised or excited about this, and just said to Rong Mama lightly,

"Please help me keep it, Ma'am!"

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was obviously not in a good mood, Rong Mama guessed it and said with a smile,

"Miss, are you worried about the thanksgiving ceremony at the palace in a few days?"

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips slightly and looked at Rong Mama.

"I'm just a little girl who has never seen the world and has never been to the palace."

Aunt Rong smiled and said,

"Don't worry, Miss. Once we get to the Rongguo Mansion, everything will be easy. I heard that the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion is a first-rank imperial lady. I'm sure she's very familiar with the etiquette of the palace."

Lin Daiyu nodded slightly and looked at the busy people outside Sichuan.

Aunt Rong followed Lin Daiyu's gaze and answered without hesitation,

"Miss, that man claimed to be your mother's brother and revealed your mother's name to be Min. I'm guessing he's the one who came here to greet you."

Lin Daiyu nodded slightly and said softly,

"I grew up in Yangzhou and have never met my maternal family in Shenjing."

"I've never met any of my uncles, but my mother is really secretive. And since Second Brother Lian is looking after the outside world, I guess that's the case."

Because Lin Daiyu's mother's name is Jia Min, Lin Daiyu would deliberately avoid mispronouncing or writing the word "Min" as "Mi".

Aunt Rong nodded slightly.

He glanced out the window at Jia She, who was gesticulating and jumping up and down on the dock, and shook his head slightly.

Then he said to Lin Daiyu,

"Miss, I always feel that this person is too attentive. You should..."

With Lin Daiyu's intelligence, she naturally understood the meaning of the half sentence that Rong Mama didn't say.

But she frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, sighed softly and said nothing more.

Soon, the servants of Rongguo Mansion put up a screen to completely isolate the sight of the ship from the people on the dock. Then a luxurious sedan chair was carried onto the ship, and the luggage was loaded onto carriages one by one.

After a busy period, Lin Daiyu, supported by Rong Mama and Xueyan, slowly walked down the stairs wearing a waist-length gauze hat and a white cloak.

In less than a quarter of an hour, as the servants of the Jia family's maids removed the screen, the long convoy and the sedan chair servants all slowly set off.

Jia She and Jia Lian sat in the lead carriage, leading the way.

Following that was Lin Daiyu's gorgeous sedan chair, and then several small sedan chairs to accommodate the female family members and personal maids.

Aunt Rong and her four maids, who brought grass leaves and flowers, all served on both sides of Lin Daiyu's sedan chair.

In the words of Aunt Rong, they were professionally trained to provide close protection to the young ladies.

How can you stay close to someone when you're in a sedan chair?

However, the girl from Xueyan Courtyard was obviously petite and not as energetic as Rong Mama and the others, so she had to sit in the sedan chair at the back.

As the Jia family left the Shenjing Wharf, the Shenjing Wharf returned to its former bustle and liveliness.

Normally, the arrival of 8 million taels of tax silver in the capital should have caused numerous disturbances in the capital.

However, what was strange was that Dai Quan read out the imperial edict of Emperor Xinglong at the dock.

Countless people in the court turned their eyes to Rongguo Mansion and Lin Daiyu and her group who were heading to Rongguo Mansion.

It was as if there was no eight million silver coins coming into the capital at all.
