serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 345 Leisurely Days

Rongguo Mansion, Xue Family Courtyard.

"Quick! Send them all in!"

Outside the front hall, Aunt Xue's maid greeted the maid and brought plates of delicacies inside.

In the hall, Aunt Xue and Baochai accompanied Xue Pan and sat at the round wooden table.

In order to go home early, Xue Pan had already become hungry after drinking cold water and eating dried meat along the way. At this time, when he saw fresh meat and vegetables, he was like a wind and a cloud, and he was sweating profusely after eating.

"Eat slowly! Eat slowly! Don't choke!"

Looking at Xue Pan, who was dark and thin, Aunt Xue's eyes turned red with distress, and she hurriedly said to Xue Pan, "Hurry up and pour the wine!"

Xue Pan held the wine pot and filled it with wine for Xue Pan.

Xue Pan swallowed the food in his mouth, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, smashed his mouth and said with a smile: "It's so comfortable!"

Baochai on the side gently fanned him and looked at him with a smile.

Xue Pan picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks and brought it to his mouth, and said: "Before coming, I asked Jia Yun and the others to help hunt three bears and got three pieces of bear skin to make mattresses for my mother, sister, and sister Qin in the winter." After taking a bite of the food, he turned to Baochai and asked, "Where is Sister Qin?"

Xue Baochai replied: "Girl Qin is resting in the old lady's house now. She should be having dinner with the old lady now."

Xue Pan nodded: "This is serious business." Then he turned to Xue Pan and asked, "How are you?"

Xue Biao looked at Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai answered: "My uncle originally wanted Xue Biao to make up for the vacancies in the Engineering Department and Guanglu Temple, but I gave up."

After hearing this, Xue Pan stopped his chopsticks: "Why?"

Xue Baochai smiled faintly: "My uncle's words can only represent the second room of Jia Jiarong's mansion."

Xue Pan was surprised: "Is there any difference? Aren't they all recommended by the Jia family?"

Xue Biao filled Xue Pan's glass again and said with a smile: "It's different. The second room does not represent the Rongguo Mansion, let alone the Jia family. Only officials recommended by the county king will be accepted by officials of the Jia family."

Aunt Xue started scolding: "The evil man in Jiayu Village has harmed your uncle, but he has come to harm our family again."

Xue Pan was startled at first, then slapped his palm on the round table, his eyes widened: "I'll kill this bastard!" He stood up and wanted to walk out.

Xue Biao hurriedly stopped him, Xue Baochai said: "You don't want to ask anything, and you haven't sat down yet."

Xue Pan smiled awkwardly, sat back and asked, "What's going on?"

Aunt Xue said angrily, "It's not all because of you." Then she told Xue Pan about Xiangling, and sighed, "Because of this girl, you suffered a life-threatening lawsuit. Now now Something like this happened again. In my opinion, this girl’s destiny is too tough. Our temple is small and we can’t afford to support her.
This big Buddha! "

After a pause, "I think Miss Lin likes her very much, why not give her to Miss Lin." He said, looking at Baochai.

Xue Pan and Xue Biao also looked at Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai changed the subject: "My brother has met a lot of people in Mobei, right?"

Xue Pan: "Of course." He picked up the jug and filled himself with wine. He drank it with a tilt of his neck and said with a smile: "I won't talk about the people in the army. The Mongolian nobles and the leaders of various tribes will learn about it." After our family’s relationship with the prince, it’s called fawning!”

He got even more excited when he said this and slapped his knees hard, "I'm not bragging. As long as I say a word, they will find a way to pick the stars in the sky for me. That time I was talking to Al, the leader of the Huoli tribe. Gulen was drinking and accidentally said that he wanted to try the fish from Lake Baikal. Hey, guess what?

On the early morning of the third day, Algulun brought live fish from Lake Baikal to me and grilled them for me to eat. And the girls in the Huli area were so enthusiastic!If it weren't for the military regulations in the military camp, I think the Marquis of Dingcheng would have given Xue Biao a few Rakshasa girls. You haven't seen it, but those Rakshasa girls are all so good-looking and have such figures."

When he said this, his eyes sparkled, "My breasts are still exposed in the winter, and they are all white. Oh, mom, why did you hit me?!"

Aunt Xue: "In front of your sister, you don't have to hide your mouth." As she said that, she hit him again with chopsticks.

Xue Pan woke up with a start and said with a smile: "I'm drunk after just a few glasses of wine." As he said that, he glanced at Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai smiled faintly, turned to Xue Biao and said, "Go outside the door and don't let anyone in."

Xue Biao: "Yes." He retreated.

Xue Baochai looked at Xue Pan and asked: "I heard Xue Pan say that in Mobei, the prince's words are more effective than the imperial edict. Is this true?"

Xue Pan: "Yes. The Beiting Protectorate implements military management. It protects the tribes on behalf of the imperial court, resolves disputes, maintains stability within the territory, and assumes the military responsibility of defending against the Rakshasa people. In order to strengthen control over the tribes, the prince deployed The young men of each tribe were organized into a new army after being disrupted. The generals of the new army were all military attachés selected from the Yongwei camp.

In addition, the families of these new soldiers are on their way south. They will go to the foot of Daqing Mountain to graze their cattle. The guards there are also from the Yongwei Camp.The person staying in Beiting on behalf of the prince is Li Si, the deputy general of the cavalry camp. Like Lin San, he has been following the prince since Liaodong and is an absolute confidant. "

After a pause, "It can be said that the entire Beiting belongs to the prince from top to bottom. Unless all the officers are replaced, it will be difficult for the imperial court to send anyone there!"

After hearing this, Aunt Xue opened her eyes wide in surprise.

The light in Xue Baochai's eyes flashed, then he picked up the chopsticks and gave Xue Pan a piece of meat, and said softly: "Brother, please eat quickly. Have a good rest after eating." He handed the chopsticks to him.

Xue Pan nodded, took the chopsticks, and started eating again.

Over there, dinner was being served in the Xue family courtyard. Here, Jia Hu put down his bowls and chopsticks with satisfaction, and said between his teeth: "The food in Daguanyuan is good! No wonder everyone has gained a lot of weight." Zijuan quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks, He brought a bowl of tea over and smiled at Jia Hu: "We are around the girls every day, so I don't think so. It's not like the second master who has changed a lot after so many days. However, the fourth girl has indeed grown taller. A lot.”

Jia Hu: "I said you three have gained a lot of weight, so you're trying to blame the girls." He took a sip of tea and turned to Hu Hu: "Eat more. We won't go anywhere this afternoon. We'll just stay here."

"Ah."

Amber smiled and nodded, picking up the last tofu skin bun under Qingwen's dissatisfied gaze.

Jia Hu saw in his eyes that this girl Qingwen was spoiled by Lin Daiyu and became a little bit crazy. After the wedding, he would set rules for her and train her well.

"Eat slowly."

Jia Hu put down the tea bowl, stood up and walked into Lin Daiyu's room.

Lin Daiyu was sitting in front of the desk, writing something with a pen.

Jia Hu stepped forward and took a look, and immediately laughed: "How can a bride change the wedding process by herself! Hey, why did you even change the route to welcome the bride? Why did you go around the Ning and Rong mansions before entering the mansion? ? How far is this? Do you know what Ten Miles of Red Dowry is? Besides, the dowry my uncle has prepared for you is more than ten miles away!"

Lin Daiyu did not raise her head, and said as she changed: "I'm afraid that you will be shot as a hedgehog! You have offended too many people in the past few years during the wars in the north and south. Maybe there are people lurking in the capital, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge. Forget about bows and arrows, now that the firecrackers are so powerful, there is no hiding place on both sides of Ningrong Street and the back streets, so there will be no danger."

Hearing this, Jia Hu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked to the recliner to sit down.

Lin Daiyu stood up after finishing writing and said with a smile: "What Shili Hongzhuang is, it's just a scene for people to see. I don't care about that."

Jia Hu looked at her with a smile, and then stretched out his hand.

Lin Daiyu understood what he meant and walked to the recliner and sat down.

Jia Hu hugged her and lay down, and said softly: "Okay, I'll do whatever you want."

"Ah."

Lin Daiyu rested her head on Jia Hu's chest and asked, "Can I cover it before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Jia Hu thought for a while: "It can be covered before the Mid-Autumn Festival. When the weather gets cooler, I will marry you. It's too hot in the summer, and your dress has five layers. You won't have a heatstroke after this trip." . We will not suffer this."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "It's up to you." Then she asked, "It must be very noisy to build a house behind. Where do you live?"

Jia Hu: "I'll live here!"

Lin Daiyu blurted out: "Fart!"

Jia Hu was startled at first, then laughed. He hugged Lin Daiyu tightly with one hand and patted her back gently with the other hand. "In order to ensure the construction period, Huifang Garden will start construction overnight. There will be many people. You This place is connected to Huifang Garden, and there are many people. When the time comes, I will move here, and you and Xiangyun will move into the study. Don’t you like those bamboo poles? This can be regarded as a reflection of your thoughts. "

After a pause, "So you can also use foul language!"

Lin Daiyu blushed and was about to speak when she suddenly saw an ink note exposed from Jia Hu's sleeve and pulled it out.

Jia Hu turned around so that she could lie down more comfortably, and then said: "This is the list of meritorious personnel recommended by me, all of whom need to be knighted."

"Hey! Yang Dayong has been granted the title of uncle. This is good news."

The names of twenty or thirty generals and their recommended titles were densely written on the list. Looking at it, Lin Daiyu frowned slightly and asked, "Why is there no name of Dingcheng Hou Xie Qiong on it?"

Jia Hu: "He? He is now a first-class marquis, and the next higher up is the Duke. That is the Duke, I don't have such a big face."

Lin Daiyu was happy: "I know you don't have such a big face." As she said that, her face became serious, "Xie Qiong has been with you for so many years, helping you train new recruits and control the Yongwei camp. Whether it is credit or hard work, it is all The biggest one. Whether you agree or not is the emperor’s business, but you have to have your attitude and put it on the record! Do you understand?"

Jia Hu was immediately shocked by what she did and looked at her deeply.

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes at him proudly. Seeing a malicious smile flash in Jia Hu's eyes, she immediately understood what he was thinking and struggled to stand up, only to be hugged by him.

"Well, what did you eat?"

"Hey, let me go. Hot."

Lin Daiyu finally pushed Jia Hu's head away, her face turned red and she was panting, she said angrily: "If you do this again, you won't be allowed to come here again!"

"Sorry, I'm used to staying in the military camp. I'll rinse my mouth out later."

"That's not OK!"

"Okay. I'll brush my teeth with green salt."

"Bah! Let me go. Hot"

"Don't make trouble. A calm mind will naturally cool down!"

Jia Hu hugged her into his arms and said with a smile: "I will do as you say. We will ensure that Xie Qiong is the Duke of the country."
