The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 72 [072] Let me ask the river tide and sea water, what is it like the love of a king and the heart of a concubine?

At the same time, in the wilderness on the southern outskirts of Shenjing City, a large number of felt tents were scattered.

In the open space between the tents, the soldiers of the Qi family army were busy slaughtering chickens and pigs, cooking and preparing wine and food.

Today is the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. According to the custom, it is necessary to worship Tiangong and eat New Year's meat.

Nian Rou is stewed pork.

The soldiers, like ordinary people in Ming Dynasty, seldom eat meat at ordinary times, and they are only willing to eat meat until the New Year's Eve, so it is called "Nian Meat".

Amidst the joyful din, a lieutenant walked into the coach's tent, and saluted Qi Jiguang with his fists.

Qi Jiguang asked:
"I asked you to take people into Shenjing City to look for the amazing archer with amazing physical strength, have you found it?"

The deputy general replied:
"Forgive me for your incompetence. I led [-] soldiers to search in Shenjing City for more than ten days, but I couldn't find out who this person is."

Qi Jiguang shook his head in disappointment and sighed softly:
"This man's arrow skills are astonishing, far better than mine. If he is buried among the people, his pearl will be covered with dust, and his talents will not be met. I intend to recommend him to serve as an official in the court and serve the country. Take the time to investigate again, and hope to find this person." .

This time, if you expand your search scope, you can ask the guards at the gates of civil servants and generals' mansions. I guess this person may have contacts with some court officials.

After the new year, the Ministry of War may assign us a new military order. At that time, we may be transferred away from this place and go to the frontier. There is not much time left for you to find this person. "

"Yes! The last general takes orders!"

The lieutenant saluted with cupped fists, and immediately led [-] soldiers into Beijing again, looking for the sharp archer.

At this time, Jia Qiang didn't know that the arrow he casually shot in the Shenwu General's Mansion had attracted such attention from Qi Jiguang.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.

Qingwen smiled and explained to Zijuan why she came, but she smiled a little forcedly.

Because Jia Qiang didn't give this golden hairpin to her, but asked her to run errands to give it to Sister Lin, which made Qingwen feel sour, like knocking over the jar of vinegar.

But this was Jia Qiang's order, and she had to come again.

She was a little puzzled, why did she fall in love with Jia Qiang?
maybe it's love
"Sister Qingwen, come in quickly, Second Master Bao is here too." Zijuan sideways let Qingwen into the courtyard.

"It turned out that Baoyu also came, and that was really a coincidence."

Qingwen has a straightforward personality and a very high spirit. She never regarded Jia Baoyu as her master before, so she dared to call Jia Baoyu by her baby name.

Zijuan led Qingwen into the room, and said with a smile:

"Second Master Bao, Miss Lin, who do you see coming?"

Before Qingwen could say hello, Jia Baoyu greeted her with a smile and shouted:

"Oh, it turns out that Qingwen is here."

As he said that, he wanted to hold Qingwen's hand, but unexpectedly, Qingwen suddenly dodged to the side, dodging his hand.

Jia Baoyu was a little strange. When Qingwen used to be his maid, he would sometimes hold Qingwen's hand and play around. At that time, Qingwen never refused.

However, today, Qingwen was uncharacteristically avoiding his pull.

What Jia Baoyu didn't know was that, in fact, it was because Qingwen already had her own heart, and Jia Qiang was the only one she cared about, so she deliberately avoided being touched by other men.

Jia Baoyu was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile:

"What kind of wind brought you here to Sister Lin?"

Qingwen laughed dryly and said:
"I was ordered by Second Lord Qiang to give Miss Lin a golden hairpin."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Baoyu's face darkened immediately, and his eyes were full of displeasure and jealousy.

He didn't expect that Jia Qiang would give a gift to Sister Lin openly.

I don't know, did Jia Qiang already know that Sister Lin had a crush on him?
Or, in fact, Jia Qiang and Sister Lin have confessed their love to each other, and they are like glue?

Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu's heart was pierced like a knife, his face was frowning, and tears welled up in his eyes.

At this moment, Jia Baoyu turned his back to Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu didn't notice the change in his expression, but smiled at Qingwen with great interest and asked:

"What kind of golden hairpin? Show me it."

Qingwen curled her lips, walked over reluctantly, and handed the black pearl and gold hairpin to Lin Daiyu.

Before Lin Daiyu could speak, Zijuan smiled in surprise and said:

"Oh! This golden hairpin is really beautiful, especially the black pearl the size of a cherry is inlaid on it. The combination of black and gold looks very luxurious."

Lin Daiyu nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"It's really beautiful, Qingwen, please thank Brother Qiang for me, and just say that I like this golden hairpin very much, and I'll thank him for thinking about it."

When she was talking, Lin Daiyu's heart was as sweet as eating honey, she was also inexplicably shy, and her ears were slightly hot.

Qingwen forced a smile, and casually said:
"Okay, I will definitely convey Miss Lin's thanks to Second Lord Qiang."

Seeing this extravagant golden hairpin, the corners of Zhou Rui's mouth twitched a few times, his hands clenched the edge of the box in his arms, and he had the urge to hide it behind his back.

Compared with this golden hairpin, the two silk fake flowers in her box are really shabby.

Zhou Rui's family secretly regretted that Lin Daiyu should not have been the last one to send it over. Who would have imagined that when Jia Qiang sent Lin Daiyu a golden hairpin, they would immediately compare with the silk fake flowers she sent.

Now, like a poor clown, she is too embarrassed to be ashamed and at a loss.

Although shy and embarrassed, she had to complete the task of sending flowers, so she swallowed her saliva, bit the bullet, and asked in a shy voice:
"Miss Lin, would you like to see the two flowers I brought?"

Seeing her embarrassment, Lin Daiyu let out a long breath of relief, and the melancholy in her heart disappeared instantly.

The golden hairpin that Jia Qiang sent was really timely. It helped her out and slapped Zhou Rui's slave in the face.

Lin Daiyu jokingly said with a smile:

"Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away is light in gifts and deep in affection. Sister Zhou came all the way to give me two fake flowers. It's really hard work.

Originally, I wanted to give Sister Zhou a few rewards, but Sister Zhou usually handles a lot of money, so I may not be able to look up to these three melons and dates, so I will not make a fool of myself.

You leave these two fake flowers and you can go. If you see Aunt Xue, please help me to thank her for remembering me. "

Sensing the sharpness of Lin Daiyu's words, Zhou Rui's face turned blue and red for a while, dared not speak out, and said with a shy smile:

"Okay, okay, then I'll go first, I've bothered Miss Lin just now, I'll say my annoyance to Miss Lin and say goodbye!"

"Go slowly, I won't see you off!" Lin Daiyu suppressed her smile, and issued the order to evict the guest in a cold tone.

It's not that she intentionally wants to play with her sex, but because she lives in Jia's mansion under the influence of others. If she is weak and easy to talk, she will definitely be bullied by these slaves.

Therefore, you must show your sharpness and let the bullying servants know that she has a strong temper and is not easy to provoke, so as to avoid being bullied.

Hearing Lin Daiyu's cold eviction order, the corners of Zhou Rui's mouth twitched, he didn't dare to say anything, shrank his neck, and left in a despondent manner.

Looking at the back of Zhou Rui's family fleeing in embarrassment, Lin Daiyu smiled and thought to herself:

"It's not rude to come and go, Jia Qiang gave me a golden hairpin, so what should I give him in return?"
