The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 338

Seeing Daiyu's expression, Lin Ruhai froze for a moment.

Although Daiyu didn't say anything bad, but as a father, she could still see this wink.

Didn't the old lady say that the two children get along very well?

He also intentionally observed that the two children were a good match regardless of their appearance or age.

Although according to his criteria for choosing a son-in-law, Jia Baoyu almost meant it.

But considering his physical condition, if Jia Muguo had the intention, he still planned to fulfill it.After all, with his daughter's body, he would be more at ease only if he kissed her.

But now it seems that Yu'er may not be willing in her heart.

Lin Ruhai only intended to probe Daiyu's tone, but when he found something wrong, he didn't continue to ask.

Anyway, Yu'er is still young.

……

After Jia Lian left the Lin Mansion, he went directly to the Ministry of War.

The office of the general consul who was serving Fangsi found his second uncle Zhang Song.

Zhang Song was quite helpless: "You boy, here we go again!
Didn't I already tell you that even I have no right to change the transfer of the entourage. "

Jia Lian stepped forward with a smile, made a bow, and said with a smile: "Nephew knows, but it's not that nephew wants uncle to help me change the accompanying personnel...

How about this, how about asking my uncle to approve an extra thousand horses for my nephew for the sake of the old man?
With these horses, I can replace most of my order of battle with cavalry.

Although the combat power may not increase much, at least the flexibility has greatly increased.

In case, I mean in case of any danger at that time, it is better to adapt to the situation, and maybe it can save lives.

Uncle, you can't bear to watch your nephew encounter danger this time, can you?Even if the uncle doesn't feel bad, the old man will probably feel bad when he finds out. If the old man knows that the uncle has rejected the nephew's request, won't the old man blame the uncle? "

Because it was Zhang Song's own office, and there were no other bureaucrats at this time, Jia Lian simply stepped up his efforts.

As he said, thousands of miles away.

Although there are many officers and soldiers under his command, most of them are infantry.

Judging from his experience of fighting in the grassland for a year, on the thousands of miles of Gobi, once something really happens, thousands of infantry are not necessarily more useful than thousands of wooden stakes!
Therefore, during this period of time, Jia Lian devoted a lot of energy to mediating for more cavalry.

To put it bluntly, if you have a certain number of cavalry, even if you are really in danger, if you can't beat them, you can still run, right?
When you're out and about, safety comes first.

The last time he went to the border, he was basically poor and white. The so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, so naturally he has nothing to fear.

Times have changed, and now he has the title of title, and his wives and concubines are not to mention in groups, there are only three or five.

You have to think more about them, right?
Besides, he doesn't even have a son yet.It's okay to plan more.

Of course, in front of the emperor, he still had to show a fearless spirit of sacrifice.

"You brat."

Such a refined person as Zhang Song once thought that Jia Lian was a refined gentleman.

Who knows, at this time, for a few horses, I don't even want to be decent.

"Okay, you don't have to say what's there or not.

For this marriage, most of the people who were transferred to the Beijing camp were from the Xie Guerrilla Division of the Beijing camp.

You must know Xie Jing.

Go find him yourself, as long as you can get it out of his hand, no matter how much it is, I will approve it for you when you come over. "

After all, he was his own uncle, and his nephew came to intercede several times, and it was not a matter of breaking the law or discipline, but just accommodating, and he couldn't cool down and refuse.

Alas, it seems that when the time comes, I will have to imitate this kid and say good things in front of several adults...

"Hehehe, then thank you, Second Uncle.

By the way, when will the second uncle go to the Yamen today?His Majesty rewarded me with a few jars of fine wine a while ago, and he was thinking of taking them to honor the old man, or else, the second uncle will also taste it together? "

"The fine wine bestowed by His Majesty..."

Zhang Song's eyes lit up slightly, and then he pretended not to care and said: "Well, I think I will be very happy to know that you are so filial.

Well, you come over early tonight, and I will ask your aunt to prepare a few dishes.

After all, we are going on a long trip, and we as a family have to give you a good trip.

Well, go for it. "

Coming out of the Ministry of War, the smile on Jia Lian's face subsided a lot, and his eyes showed deep thought.

But those who are generals attach great importance to the soldiers and equipment under their hands.

Zhang Song asked him to go to Xie Jing to ask for it, which was quite difficult for him.

But he also knew that it was already a violation of the law for Zhang Song to do this, so he didn't press any further.

Fortunately, Dingchenghou's Mansion is also from the lineage of the founding princes, so they sell the Jia family a little bit of face.

Moreover, he also knew Xie Jing.Especially the last time at Wang Ziteng's house, it was a pleasant conversation. If you want to spend some time thinking about it and prescribe the right medicine, it's not impossible to achieve your goal.

"Second Master, where shall we go next?"

Seeing that Jia Lian was distracted, Zhao'er and others came up to inquire.

Jia Lian got on his horse and ordered: "All of you, go to Zuixianlou, load a cart of the best wine, send it to Dingcheng Hou's mansion, and find out if General Xie is at the mansion. Then let Zuixianlou do a few There are some good appetizers for later use."

"What about you, Second Master?"

"I'll go back home."

Zuixian Louzhu sells fine wines from the south of the Yangtze River, although it is well-known.

But after all, they are wines that can be bought with money.

If you really want to show sincerity, you have to do something different.

Alas, the emperor is really stingy.

After sending him so far on a hard job, he was rewarded with a few jars of tribute wine.

What this tribute wine can do is to occupy the name of the emperor. It is more face-saving to invite people and give gifts.

I hope that this old Xie will also sell the face of the emperor...

……

After many preparations, the night before the departure came in the blink of an eye.

In Rongqingtang, Jia's mother also rarely showed some concern for Jia Lian, and asked, "Have you prepared everything outside? Are the things you need to bring, the accompanying guards, etc., all arranged?"

"Reporting to the ancestors, everything is ready."

"Ah."

After a moment of silence, Mother Jia looked at Jia Lian and waved to him.

Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, but stood in front of Jia's mother.

Mother Jia stretched out her old and white arm, took Jia Lian's hand, clapped it together, and stared at him with serious eyes, "Go well, come back well.

Remember, you are a descendant of my Jia family, and you have important and inescapable responsibilities.

There are really not many males in our family, you must take care of yourself, you know..."

It is rare for Jia's mother to show such sincere love and concern for him, which makes Jia Lian slightly surprised and uncomfortable.But Jia Lian quickly knelt down and said, "Don't worry, my ancestor, my grandson will not dare to disobey my ancestor's words."

"Okay, go down and have a good rest. If you're in a hurry tomorrow morning, you won't come to see me. Let's say goodbye tonight."

"Yes……"

The Sanchun sisters all showed strong reluctance to Jia Lian, but Jia's mother had explained that they would not disturb Jia Lian tonight.

We are going on a long journey, and this night should be reserved for the young couple.

Therefore, Yingchun and the others could only send a word of blessing each, and then stopped on the backyard porch.

Baochai was originally in his aunt's room, waiting for his mother to talk to his aunt.

Occasionally feeling bored, he walked out.

Going to the hall at the back, I saw Jia Lian walking towards me.

Baochai said in her heart that tomorrow seems to be the day when Lian's second brother will go out!

So, probably this is the last time I see him this year.

Thinking like this, he naturally walked forward.

"So it's Sister Baochai, why are you here? How is Auntie?"

Jia Lian's voice was as calm as ever, which made Baochai very fond of it.

As if there was nothing that could make him anxious.

"Thank you, Second Brother Lian, for your concern. My mother is fine. I just heard that Second Brother Lian is leaving Beijing. She wanted to come over to see you, but she was afraid that you would be busy, so tell me, if she sees Second Brother Lian, please say hello to her."

"Troubleshooting."

After finishing the polite words, Jia Lian was relatively speechless, so Jia Lian invited Baochai to come in for tea.

Baochai glanced at the quiet house over there, shook her head silently, then raised her head to look at Jia Lian, and said softly:

"Sister Yingchun and the others must have said the redundant words, but the little girl is clumsy and can't say anything new.

It's a long way to go, but I still hope to cherish it. "

As Baochai said, she put her hands on her waist, committed herself to a blessing, and performed a full salute.

It is really pleasing to the eyes that a woman with fair complexion, beautiful skin and elegant temperament behaves like this when she is about to reach the age of Ji, and immediately blows away many of Jia Lian's worries before parting.

Finally, the friendship between the two of them ends here, and no matter how much they talk, they will fall into clichés and vulgarities.

So Jia Lian bowed his hands to return the gift, said "thank you", then passed the beautiful woman and stepped into his yard.
