serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 132 Are you confident?

Ning Rong Street

Ningguo Mansion

A gust of cold wind blows, snowflakes are flying all over the sky.

Jia Hu tightened his cloak and walked towards Yimen.

Behind him, followed by Jiao Da wearing a fur cloak.

As Jia Hu walked, he asked, "Have you made contact with the Elder Master yet?"

Jiao Da: "Yes. Originally, we agreed to meet up early in the morning and talk about the entry of King Yizhong into the palace."

Jia Hu stopped in his tracks: "Won't it be exposed?"

Jiao Da shook his head: "Probably not. Except for me, no one knows about him, and no one has seen him. Besides, he has been in the habit of going out of the palace to drink tea after being on duty for more than ten years, and no one would doubt it." .”

"Have you contacted Daming Palace?" Jia Hu asked looking at the heavy snow.

Jiao Da: "This matter is too important, Jiao Da dare not make decisions without authorization."

Jia Hu nodded approvingly.

Jiao Da went on to say: "Wanping sent an urgent letter. According to the information given by the second master, a rough area has been circled."

Jia Hu pondered for a while, then said: "Send someone to watch, don't touch it for now, so as not to startle the snake."

Jiao Da: "Yes. It's cold outside, Second Master, let's go in."

Jia Hu nodded to Jiao Da and walked in.

Walking into the backyard, Jia Hu knew that Lin Daiyu was coming when a murmur of a woman came from the west wing.

Sure enough, there was chatter and laughter in the room, and Jia Hu raised the cotton curtain. It turned out that Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Xiangyun, Baochai, and Xing Xiuyan were all here, and even Dalianbao, who hadn’t seen him for a long time, was here.

As soon as Jia Hu came in, everyone stood up to greet him.

Jia Hu handed the cloak to Amber, and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about? So happy! Tell me and smile."

After hearing this, Xiang Yun rushed up and said with a smile, "Brother Ai, Sister Lin will be the host and treat us to a drink. We are discussing whether we should invite a group of little actors."

As he said that, he rolled his eyes, looked at Lin Daiyu and said with a smile: "Master Lin was promoted to the governor of Jiangsu. This is a great joy. We braved the wind and snow to congratulate Sister Lin. Second brother is rich and powerful, so he should show us that too." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand.

Lin Daiyu came over, patted her palm, and said with a smile: "I just bite my tongue and love to talk, and I can't even call out 'two' brother, just 'love' brother, 'love' brother. I will send you tomorrow." The girl will give you gold and silver prunes, and save them for the New Year."

"Oh! It's different. If you don't believe me, ask the second sister."

Yingchun, Baoyu and others all laughed when they heard this.

"Look I don't tear your mouth!"

Lin Daiyu reached out to tear her mouth, but Xiangyun hid behind Jia Hu and said with a smile, "Good sister, please forgive me."

Jia Hu grabbed Lin Daiyu's two little hands, and said with a smile: "Xiang Yun is right, my uncle has not only been promoted to an official position, but also made an exception to live in an official position in his original place. It is a double blessing, and we should celebrate it."

Lin Daiyu: "Leave her alone." After finishing speaking, she pushed Jia Hu's hand away.

Xiangyun was even more impressed: "My good sister, you must be right. The housekeeper must not only be strict with rewards and punishments, but also be kind and powerful. Oops——"

Just as he was talking, Jia Hu raised his hand to ask Hu Po to take off his official uniform. Lin Daiyu pinched Xiang Yun's face with quick eyes and quick hands. I dare not! Love my brother, love my brother—" Turning around, most of my body lay on Jia Hu's back.

Everyone was laughing, Jia Hu twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, this girl is much heavier than Daiyu!
Jia Hu smiled, and said to Lin Daiyu: "For my sake, please spare her this time."

Lin Daiyu let go, and reached out to pat Xiangyun's forehead: "If you want to recruit me, I will tear your mouth apart."

Xiangyun pouted, suddenly his face flushed red, and he walked to the side and sat down.

Lin Daiyu took a deep look at her, then turned to Jia Hu and said, "Are you writing a letter to father?"

Jia Hu was taken aback, and met Lin Daiyu's eyes.

Lin Daiyu nodded.

Jia Hu thought for a while and said to Lin Daiyu: "Bring the old lady here, let's have a good celebration. Also, the servants of the two houses will reward each one with one hundred qian, so that everyone can be happy together." Turning his head, he said to Yingchun and the others : "You guys sit and talk first, I'll go to the study, and when we come back, let's go to the big flower hall to have a chat."

As he spoke, his eyes slowly turned to Xiang Yun who was sitting there looking at him: "I will give you pocket money when I come back."

This time, Xiangyun didn't speak, just said "um" and lowered his head.

Jia Hu didn't care, took the cloak in Hu Po's hand, put it on, turned and walked out.

Outside Ning'an Hall, I ran into Lai Sheng who was walking in a hurry.

Jia Hu: "What's wrong?"

Lai Sheng hurried over: "Second Master, the Grand Master of the West Mansion is here, and he is waiting in the study outside."

Jia Hu nodded, and quickly walked out to the study.

There are two large pots of charcoal fire burning in the study outside, Jia Amnesty is sitting in front of the desk, writing something with a pen.

The door curtain was lifted, Jia Hu walked in, and said with a smile: "Uncle She is finally willing to go out." He took off his cloak.

Jia Amnesty didn't speak to him, but kept his head down and wrote something there.

Jia Hu smiled, picked up the copper pot, and made two bowls of tea in front of the desk.

After a while, Jia Amnesty stood up after finishing writing, and handed over the piece of paper.

Jia Hu took it in doubt, looked at it, raised his head, and looked at Jia Amnesty with questioning eyes.

Jia Amnesty picked up the tea bowl, walked to the chair under the window and sat down, took a sip, put it down, and then said, "Don't ask, and I won't tell you if you ask. Just burn it after reading it."

Looking at it carefully again, Jia Hu threw the piece of paper into the brazier, and when the flames engulfed the whole piece of paper, he walked up to Jia She and sat down beside him, saying, "Uncle She will help me out again, the Great Court will Before, did the Supreme Emperor wake up?"

Jia Amnesty really couldn't laugh or cry: "This kind of relationship can only be used once."

Jia Hu smiled: "Uncle She is humble."

Jia Amnesty: "Okay. Let's not talk. I came here to ask you something. What are you going to do with Yangzhou?"

"I'm planning to write a letter to Uncle Lin. Also let Cheng Shiyao and Ma Yong move to Jinling or Suzhou."

"Let them move quickly, I suspect there will be a big move in the harem."

"Oh?"

Jia She sighed softly, and said, "I just realized it. Wang Hetang's implementation of "Tan Ding Ren Mu" in Jiangsu has just started to improve, and the next step is to form a system. At this time, transferring him to Beijing can be said to be a failure. This loss is not small. The palace is determined to solve the Cao Gang, and the wealth of Lianghuai for nearly a hundred years."

Jia Hu nodded: "I guessed this a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be so fast."

Jia She continued: "Now that there is no pressure in the north, and the emperor is an ambitious man, I am really worried that he will not be satisfied with the two Huaihe Rivers. Most of Jiangsu's wealth is concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River."

Jia Hu was startled: "Does he dare?"

Jia Amnesty shook his head: "I don't know. But if you want to move Jiangnan, you must first solve the Jiangnan camp. Just wait."

Ok?
Jia Hu was really taken aback. He really never thought that the emperor would attack Jiangnan. There are not only gentry here, but also clansmen of four princes and eight princes.

Jia Amnesty stood up: "The current situation is like a cloud of fog, and the biggest variable is the Dragon Head Palace. Don't think too much, first evacuate the people from Yangzhou to Jinling. The rest is to wait!"

Jia Hu smiled: "Then let's have a peaceful New Year."

Jia Amnesty: "It's good if you can think so. You hurry up and write to Yangzhou, I'll go back."

"Sister Lin invites the host today, will Uncle She stay for a glass of wine?"

"No."

Seeing that Jia Amnesty walked out without looking back, Jia Hu thought for a while, then stood up, walked to the desk, sat down, picked up a pen and began to write.
