The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 49
Hongde six years, autumn.

Looking around, the grassland in Saibei is already golden at this time.

"It's autumn again!"

On the slope, a slender man was sitting on a luxurious saddle decorated with gold, silver and precious stones, looking to the south.

"Molun Khan, it's getting late, you should go back!" Behind the man, a seven-foot-tall Angzang man said, "The lords of Chahar, Tumed, Ordos, Aso and other tribes are about It's half an hour away, and you have to rush back to preside over the tribute!"

This man is exactly the Tatar nobleman Mo Lun who escaped from Jia Jing in the Liaodong battlefield last year.

It's just that the current Molun is already the Khan of the Tatars, and has become the most honorable person on the grasslands in northern Saibei in one fell swoop.

On the way back to the tribe, Mo Lun suddenly asked: "Grand Master Bolai, our Karaqin tribe's supplies of cattle and sheep this year are not good, and tea and salt are even more scarce. Presumably other tribes are not much better, right?"

"In the past few years, our Mongolian (the Tatars call themselves) headquarters have been fighting endlessly with the western Oirats. Coupled with the bad weather and climate, the tribes have not had a prosperous winter for several years!"

The seven-foot-tall Angzang man, the Grand Master Bolai of the Tatars, couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

"It's bitterly cold in the northern part of the Great Wall, but the fertile land in the south...should also have a share with the people of my Longevity..."

In the wind, the voice of the Tatar Khan Morun gradually disappeared...

Shanxi, Datong Prefecture.

In late autumn, on the rugged hills, wind and sand danced all over the sky.

In this wind and sand, a carriage was advancing rapidly under the protection of ten heavy cavalry.

In the carriage, a middle-aged man was bouncing up and down with the swaying carriage. The man's face was full of exhaustion, his hair was disheveled, and there was a two-inch-long gash on his arm, which was oozing blood.

Only the light blue dusty Confucian long gown on his body showed his identity as a man of letters.

Look carefully, but it is not Lin Ruhai who has been away from Beijing for half a year! !

It's just that Lin Ruhai's situation is not good at this time.

"Dam thump!"

"Dam thump!"

Behind the carriage, there was a rush of hooves getting closer.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes from behind, Lin Ruhai couldn't help feeling a little more anxious.

However, Shanxi has many hills, and Lin Ruhai's carriage can't run fast at all on the undulating trails, and the sound of horseshoes is getting closer and closer!

At this time, the ten heavy cavalry guarding the car immediately divided into two groups. One group continued to guard the car and continued to move forward, while the other group quickly reined in their horses and turned around to charge backwards.

In the carriage, Lin Ruhai looked at the five cavalrymen who were left behind, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

This is already the third interception I have encountered in Datong Mansion!
Lin Ruhai was also secretly glad that when he left Shenjing, Jia Jing lent him ten heavy armored cavalry to protect him, otherwise he would have died countless times in the past half a year!Just look at the dozen or so guards who came out with him, but now they are dead!
If you can go back alive, you must thank Jia Jing!Lin Ruhai made up his mind.

However, although he knew that the ten heavy armored cavalry around him were all extremely tyrannical, Lin Ruhai still had no idea.

After all, the enemy is not a fool, and more and more enemies will come after them, and more ants will kill the elephant. Even if these heavy armored cavalry are all made of iron, how many nails can they drive?
"The magistrate of Shanxi Datong and the general soldier of Datong are very good! I remember you!" Lin Ruhai hated in his heart. He only blamed himself for being too careless. At that time, a flaw was accidentally exposed, which led to subsequent successive pursuits.

"This place is still six or seven hundred miles away from Shenjing, the speed of the carriage is really too slow, and I don't know how many waves there will be in the chase..."

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai gritted his teeth secretly, and took out a booklet from the hidden compartment of the carriage. This was the fruit of his labor after he left Beijing for more than half a year and visited Dazhou Shufu.

Holding the booklet, Lin Ruhai took out from his arms the king's order card given by Emperor Hongde when he left Beijing, blood stained his arm, and printed a blood mark on the booklet.

"Jia Da!" Lin Ruhai shouted out of the carriage.

"Master Lin, Jia Da is here!" A heavy armored cavalry came in response.

Looking at Jia Da's simple face through the small window of the carriage, Lin Ruhai finally made up his mind.

Tearing off the hem of the Confucian robe, Lin Ruhai carefully wrapped the booklet in his hand, and handed it to Jia Da through the car window, "Take this thing back to Shenjing and give it to Jia Jing! It's urgent!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Jia Da took the booklet, stuffed it into the armor on his chest to protect it, and then rode straight to Shenjing.

Shenjing, Zhaowuhou Mansion.

It was the season of high and refreshing autumn, and Li Hu, who just happened to be cast under his command, dumped a lot of hairy crabs out of nowhere to honor Jia Jing.

It happened to be Xiumu again, so Jia Jing made an impromptu idea to be the host of the newly built Hou's Mansion, and invited people from Ningrong and Rongfu to come and have a banquet.

It's just that Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen don't like to gather together, so they pushed them away. The rest of Jia's mother saw that they were all juniors, and couldn't bear to disturb the gathering of juniors, so she couldn't shirk...

After a lot of trouble, only a few girls, Jia Baoyu, Jia Rong and his wife, and the widowed Li Wan came with Jia Lan.

This Hou's mansion was recently built, and even Jia Jing came in for the first time. At this time, everyone walked around and looked around, and they thought it was good.

Turning around, Tanchun asked: "Brother Jing, your Hou's mansion doesn't look much smaller than our Duke's mansion!"

Jia Jing smiled and said, "They were all rebuilt in a mansion not far from the same street. They were all about the same size, but there are some differences in the layout of the interior."

Afterwards, strolling to the backyard, Jia Jing looked at the empty yards, and said to Yingchun: "After the housewarming banquet, my sister will move in together. You really can't live in your land! As for the old lady and father, I'll tell the difference!"

Then he looked at the other people and said, "If other people want to come, just tell me. Anyway, there are many empty yards now!"

Hearing what Jia Jing said, everyone happily chose their own yard regardless of whether they could actually move here in the end.

Later, seeing Lin Daiyu excited about shopping, Jia Jing recruited Lin Daiyu's little maid, Xueyan, and asked about Lin Daiyu's recent physical condition after the weather turned cold. Lin Daiyu made a fur coat.

Xueyan happily agreed immediately, which made Lin Daiyu blush again.

Xichun next to him was making a fuss, saying that the third brother was too unfair, joking, and insisted on extorting a lot of things from Jia Jing without mentioning it.

A group of people were laughing and laughing, but time passed quickly.

Seeing that the time was approaching noon, Jia Jing ordered the cooks brought from Rongguo Mansion to start steaming crabs.

But everyone discussed for a while, and finally did not go to other places, but found a pavilion in the garden with a good view, and then ordered the maids to put out dishes, cups and chopsticks, and then went to the kitchen to urge crabs, talking to everyone It is necessary to eat crabs and enjoy flowers in this garden.

In the end, Jia Jing ordered the maids to boil the wine and prepare the sauce and vinegar.

Seeing that everyone in the field has been tidied up, Xichun mischievously said: "Everything is ready, I only owe the crab!"

All of a sudden, everyone laughed.
