serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 193

Capital
Rongguofu

At this time, it was gradually getting dark, and all kinds of insects in the green vines crawling on the wall and the flowers in the corner began to chirp.

In Lin Daiyu's courtyard came the laughter of the maids, Xueyan took a few little girls around the banana tree to watch the two cranes take a bath.

The curtain of the west wing was raised, and Qingwen took out a piece of fabric from the room, looked at Xueyan enviously, frowned bitterly, sighed again, turned and walked towards Daiyu's room.

Suddenly, the insects outside the yard stopped screaming, only the sound of footsteps outside, and then came a picture-like voice: "Girl, walk slowly!"

Qingwen immediately stopped in her tracks, her face brightened, and she could finally rest.

At this time, Xichun angrily walked in from the moon gate of the yard, followed by the maid.

Qingwen was slightly taken aback, she didn't know who she had a conflict with again, when the complaint came, she said with a smile: "The fourth girl is here."

Xichun stopped by Qingwen's side for a while, walked in without talking to her.

Qingwen stuck out her tongue, and grabbed Ru Hua: "Hey! What's wrong with the fourth girl? Are you breaking up with Miss Shi again?"

Ruhua only smiled slightly and didn't strike up a conversation.

Qingwen glanced at the bamboo curtain that had just been put down, and said to Ruhua, "When the girl asks later, don't blame me for not making things up for you."

Ruhua smiled wryly and shook his head, then waved his head towards Jiamu's room.

"."

All right, Qingwen understood, Xichun was lectured by the old lady again.

Thinking of this, Qingwen said to Ruhua: "If the fourth girl doesn't talk about it later, if our girl doesn't ask, don't mention it. The girl is very busy these days, so don't make trouble."

Ruhua nodded thoughtfully.

Qingwen smiled: "Let's go." After speaking, she pulled Ru Hua and walked in together.

There was silence outside, Qingwen opened the bead curtain and walked inside.

There are only Lin Daiyu and Xichun in the bedroom, Xichun is sitting in front of the desk, holding a book in his hand, but looking at Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu was sitting on the edge of the kang, with a red cotton robe spread out on her knees, and she was embroidering auspicious clouds on it.

Qingwen put the cloth on the top of the kang, lit the tinder, and lit the lamp on the small kang table, "Girl, it's getting late, you should take a rest."

But Lin Daiyu stood up, gently lifted the robe, and admired the auspicious clouds embroidered on it: "Except for ordinary clothes, other robes can no longer be worn. People will laugh at them. The few boa robes rewarded by the palace cannot be worn." It's too eye-catching to wear casually. When I finish embroidering this robe, the big red python satin from the Suzhou Weaving Bureau will also be delivered, and I will bother you again."

With a bitter face, Qingwen could only nod her head.

Xichun put the book in her hand on the desk: "Didn't you say it was going to be made for the tailor at home that day? Why is my sister going to cut it herself, is she too busy?"

Lin Daiyu glanced at her, but didn't answer. She folded the robe and put it in the closet, walked to the desk and sat down, "Tell me. Who offended you again?"

Xichun blushed, said nothing, and lowered her head.

Lin Daiyu smiled at Ruhua and asked, "Are you having a conflict with Miss Yun again?"

Entering the painting, he hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Just now in the old lady's room, our girl accidentally knocked down the fourth girl of the Zhen family, and was lectured by the old lady again."

Lin Daiyu glanced at Xichun with a smile, then stood up, brought her a bowl of tea, "Okay, she is a guest, you have to make way."

Xichun also stood up, and then said excitedly: "I hate her! You compare me to her in everything, why should I compare with her!"

Lin Daiyu was stunned for a moment. The old lady of the Zhen family was gone, and Mrs. Zhen was bedridden. Mother Jia saw that the fourth girl of the Zhen family was young and had no one to take care of her, so she took her to Jia's house for a while, and took her back when Mrs. Zhen recovered from her illness. The fourth daughter of the Zhen family and the fourth daughter of the Jia family are similar in age, so the big guys will naturally compare them together.

In the past two years, due to Jia Hu's pampering, Xichun has been more self-willed. Except for female celebrities, she only learns what she likes, such as painting, practicing Tai Chi, etc. Except for painting, she learns everything else from Jia Hu.

In comparison, Xichun is naturally inferior to the fourth daughter of the Zhen family.

The two brothers and sisters have the same temper, and lose their eyes quickly.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu could only sigh: "She is a guest, so naturally you have to let her go. She won't be able to stay for a few days."

With a snort, Xichun said, "I want to go back to my home."

Lin Daiyu stretched out her hand and pinched her little face: "What nonsense are you talking, sit down quickly."

Xichun curled her lips and had no choice but to sit down.

At this moment, Zijuan came in with a food box, put the food box beside the desk, opened the lid, took out a porcelain cup from inside, lifted the lid, put it on the desk, and handed the spoon to Lin Daiyu.

Xichun looked at the bowl of soup, and a scent came to his nostrils: "It smells so good!" He hurriedly said to Lin Daiyu, "What makes the soup so fragrant? Dear sister, give me a taste."

Zicuckoo smiled and said, "This is medicinal food."

Xichun was a little strange, looking at Lin Daiyu: "Didn't my sister recover from her illness a long time ago! Why are you eating medicinal food again?"

Zijuan smiled: "This is the prescription that the old lady found from the imperial hospital. It can take care of the body, replenish qi and blood, nourish the heart and spleen, and strengthen the body. Now the second grandmother of Lian is also taking it."

"oh oh."

Xichun didn't understand, but when she saw Lin Daiyu finished eating herbal medicine, she suddenly remembered something and said to Lin Daiyu, "Sister, you need to write a letter to brother."

Lin Daiyu put down the spoon and looked at her strangely, "What's the matter?"

"It's your business." Xichun said angrily.

"what?"

"Don't pretend to be confused, you know what I'm talking about is Sister Bao. Last time when my brother was promoted, her family gave the most and the most expensive gifts, which were even better than the rewards from the palace. Her brother asked Brother Rong to eat every day. Wine, Aunt Xue went to talk to her sister-in-law when she had nothing to do. And Sister Bao, who used to be respectful to you, but now she is just a little fuzz. I have no good intentions!"

Lin Daiyu smiled and asked, "Didn't you like her very much before?"

Xichun shook her head: "She is kind to everyone, and everyone, but she never talks to others, and she is always separated."

Lin Daiyu glanced at Xichun with a smile, and said gratifiedly: "You can see through this, which is enough to show that the fourth girl from the Zhen family is not as good as you."

Xichun blushed suddenly, and said in a low voice: "I don't care about you anymore, you can figure it out." After speaking, she stood up and hurried out.

Ruhua hurriedly followed out.

Zijuan and Qingwen looked at each other and sent them out.

Lin Daiyu sat there in a daze for a while, then got up, walked to the desk and sat down, thought for a while, took a piece of paper, picked up a pen and began to write.

The sun was setting, and a great battle had just ended. About ten miles southeast of Liushilipu Station, there were tens of thousands of dead rebel corpses lying here and there. There were dazzling pools of blood everywhere. Climbing and moaning, he was beheaded by the soldiers of the brave guard battalion who cleaned the battlefield.

In the distance, a large group of captives were driven towards Fuyang by the cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion.

On a mound, Jia Hu watched all this with no expression. It was already September [-]th. Send a partial division northward to attack Fuyang in an attempt to break through Yingzhou Mansion, and then burn the war to the territory of Henan.

Half an hour ago, Jia Hu personally led [-] brave guard cavalry, and [-] Mongolian cavalry easily defeated this rebel division, which was known as an army of [-].

Xie Qiong joked that everyone can go home before the Spring Festival.

However, Jia Hu understood that the real elite of the rebels were entrenched in Luzhou, Lu'an, and Anqing. If there were no natural dangers, Jixian Pass would have been breached long ago, and the important town of Anqing would have been lost.

In the direction of Lu'an, the coalition forces and rebels from Shaanxi and Hubei provinces fought extremely fiercely. Wang Ziteng fell into the quagmire because he massacred the people of Chuzhou again, and has not been able to invade Luzhou.

The original farce has finally become a serious drama, and it has become a tragedy. It is conservatively estimated that the death toll has exceeded one million, and nearly 30 people died under the butcher knife of Wang Ziteng.

This battle is not easy to fight, Wuyangyang is full of enemies, if you are not careful, you will be drowned.

At this time, a scout came galloping and reported loudly: "Commander, the rear army led by General Yang Dayong has arrived in Fuyang."

"it is good!"

Jia Hu said to Xie Qiong who was on the side: "I'll go back to Fuyang first, you have someone dig a big pit for a funeral tomb, and bury it in one place."
