serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 141 Here Comes the Shit Stirring Stick

This year has been very embarrassing. First, the clan was killed by dozens of people, and then one of the four kings with different surnames in the Great Zhou Dynasty, King Shui Rong of Beijing County, became a descendant of a traitor, and then there was news of the rebellion of the Cao Gang. , For a while, the city was full of wind and rain, and there were many discussions.

Snow has been falling, and more and more victims of disasters have entered the city, making many ordinary people reluctant to go out.

From the fifth day of the first lunar month, there were military newspapers from Xuzhou Mansion almost every day, all of which were bad news. Huaian Mansion and Haizhou collapsed and fell, everything was expected, and everything was unexpected.

The military report on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month shocked everyone. The Cao Gang rebels captured Suqian on the tenth day of the first lunar month. On the eleventh day, they fought fiercely with [-] Henan Wei reinforcements in Zaoheji. The two sides fought for more than half an hour, and Henan Wei was defeated. At that time, only a thousand of the [-] Henan reinforcements fled back to Xuzhou.

Cannons, self-generated firecrackers, and the Manchu Qing Tartars who raided the Henan Wei flank, a series of news stunned everyone, including the emperor.

According to the rout soldiers, just when they were about to defeat the rebellion of the Cao Gang, a group of Manchu and Qing Tartar cavalry raided their flanks and broke through their army formation in one fell swoop, which led to the rout of the army.

As for the number of people, they couldn't tell. Some said it was hundreds of people, and some said it was thousands of people. But it is certain that they were attacked by Manchu Tartars.

When the emperor was angry, it was natural for some people to be unlucky, especially the people in the criminal division, especially the Zhenfu division. They are now doing their best to investigate how the Manchu Tartars arrived in Jiangsu. From the sea.

The emperor has ordered the Yangtze River Navy to go north to Tianjin.

The emperor was furious. Naturally, no one dared to celebrate the Lantern Festival with great fanfare. Of course, lanterns were still important. The whole family gathered together to eat Lantern Festival, guess lantern riddles, and have a relaxed and simple Lantern Festival.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the snow stopped suddenly, and the sky was clear.

Ning'an Hall Backyard

Jia Hu was sitting in front of the desk in the bedroom, looking through the military newspaper copy sent by the cabinet.

Everyone guessed wrong, the Ministry of War did not fall into the hands of King Zhongshun, nor did it fall into the hands of a certain force, but was directly controlled by the cabinet.

The military report was sent by Li Chengyang, the Marquis of Ningyuan in Liaodong, from Ningyuan City. The Qing soldiers in Jinzhou took advantage of the snowy night to raid the fort built by the Liaodong Army five miles away from Shoushan, and were repelled by the defenders!
You don't need to guess to know that it is the fifth elder brother's ghost idea. He wants to distract the court's attention and relieve the pressure on the Cao Gang.

What a whimsical experience!

Thinking of this, Jia Hu immediately picked up the pen, spread out the blank chapter and began to write quickly.

At this moment, Lin Daiyu's voice came from outside: "Second brother, can I come in?"

Jia Hu: "Come in."

The door curtain was raised, and Lin Daiyu walked in slowly. Seeing Jia Hu sitting there writing something, she sat down by the kang and watched quietly.

It took a while before Jia Hu put down his pen, picked up the chapter and blew it, and then pressed it under the military newspaper.

Seeing Jia Hu put down her pen, Lin Daiyu asked, "Tomorrow is Sister Bao's birthday, and Aunt Xue is going to serve wine, why don't you go out?"

Jia Hu was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "I don't know either, let's talk about it."

Lin Daiyu blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "You see that my brother is buying wine and giving a show, so you should go and have a seat."

Jia Hu tilted his head and looked at Lin Daiyu, then stood up and walked over slowly.

Lin Daiyu sat back uneasily, then sat upright reservedly, and looked at Jia Hu: "You, you, don't make trouble, Mother Wang is outside." Feeling wrong again, her little face flushed red.

Jia Hu saw that her face was flushed with embarrassment, and she looked stern, so she wanted to tease her: "Hey, little beauty, you scream, you resist, even if you scream, no one will come to rescue you. "

Lin Daiyu was stunned, and then burst out laughing, but the laughter was exhausted, and she supported the small kang table and asked Jia Hu to beat her.

Jia Hu laughed too, sat down on the edge of the kang, put his arms around Lin Daiyu and stroked her back.

Lin Daiyu burst into tears as she laughed, lying in Jia Hu's arms speechless.

Fearing that she might laugh too hard, Jia Hu slapped her buttocks.

Lin Daiyu was stunned, and then slowly raised her head to look at Jia Hu, with an angry look on her face.

Jia Hu conveniently patted Lin Daiyu's butt twice, and said angrily, "Next time you talk to me, if you pull this much further, your ass will definitely be blown."

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips, knowing that she was wronged, she lowered her head and muttered, "Dirty bastard! Shameless!"

Until this time, Jia Hu smiled the smile he had been suppressing all this time, and before Lin Daiyu could get angry, he hugged her into his arms and asked, "You came here for this?"

Lin Daiyu leaned against Jia Hu's chest quietly, and said, "It's been twenty days, and my father hasn't replied yet, so I'm a little worried."

Jia Hu held her tightly in his arms: "With me, don't be afraid."

Lin Daiyu: "Yes." Subconsciously, she buried her head in Jia Hu's arms and rubbed it.

Jia Hu smiled: "This is normal. Now it takes five or six days even for the imperial court to expedite the six hundred miles, let alone a private letter. Our family's fleet will arrive at Tianjin Wharf in a few days. I want to come to Uncle's The letter will go north with the boat. Well, Jia Yucun will soon enter Beijing."

Lin Daiyu's heart moved, and she asked, "You mean, Mr. Yucun took our boat to Beijing?"

Jia Hu sneered, "Mr. Shit, you're just an official opportunist."

Lin Daiyu raised her hand and thumped Jia Hu: "You are not allowed to say that."

Jia Hu smiled: "That's all, that's all, let's not talk about him in the future. Raise your head, I'll brush your hair for you."

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu raised her head, and Jia Hu used his hands to straighten her hair from the temples behind her ears, loosen her temples a little, and tidy them up again.

Suddenly, Wang Momo's voice came from outside: "Second Master, there is news from the front yard that the steward of our fleet has entered Beijing, and they are waiting in the front hall."

Lin Daiyu got up in a hurry, walked to the mirror, took a picture, adjusted her clothes, and said to Jia Hu, "Go quickly."

"Ah."

Jia Hu thought for a while and said, "I heard from Hu Po that my sister-in-law is not in good health. Go and have a look and talk with her. There is nothing important and I will be back in a while."

Just as Lin Daiyu was about to speak, Jia Hu continued, "If uncle's letter arrives, I'll send someone to send it to you right away."

Lin Daiyu smiled: "Thank you for your trouble!"

"You girl is getting more and more naughty."

Jia Hu knocked on her head, "Let's have dinner together tonight." Then he turned and walked out.

Lin Daiyu rubbed her head, then remembered the scene just now, clutching her buttocks, a little embarrassment welling up in her heart, she froze there.

Qianqing Palace

outside the study
Jia Yucun stood by the door of the outer hall with his head down and his hands down.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps, and Jia Yucun raised his head slightly, only to see Dai Quan beckoning from a distance: "Come in." After speaking, he turned and walked up to the study.

Jia Yucun was stunned for a moment, then bent over and followed in short steps.

Ningguo Mansion

lobby
Jia Hu took a letter, looked at it, and smiled to himself.

Lin Ruhai's letter, the family letter reporting safety, Xu Shi didn't believe Jia Hu, and specifically told him in the letter that he would take good care of Lin Daiyu.

Folding the letter and stuffing it into his sleeve, Jia Hu stood up and walked out.

Walking to the door, looking up into the distance, taking a deep breath, Wang Hetang and Jia Yucun have entered the palace, I don't know how the emperor will arrange them.
