serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 421 Have a thief's heart, but no courage

The sun set on the towering walls of the capital.

Two young men came out carrying long poles and lanterns, then used the long poles to lift the lanterns to the eaves and hang them up, and then walked in again.

The lantern is printed with the five characters "Beining County Prince's Palace".

There was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and Lin San led a group of cavalry to protect Jia Hu's carriage.

The carriage stopped outside the Yimen, and the carriage door opened. Jia Hu stepped out of the carriage and said to Lin San: "Go to the back street military camp and tell me what I said. Cheer up these days. Especially tonight, send out all the ammunition.”

Lin San: "Yes."

Jia Hu suddenly remembered: "Hey, I heard that Xiaohong is pregnant again."

Lin San smiled.

"You boy!"

Jia Hu patted him and said with a smile: "Tell Xiaohong, if we give birth to a daughter this time, we will be the in-laws of our children."

As soon as these words came out, Lin San's eyes widened with surprise and surprise!
Jia Hu looked at him with a smile, turned around and walked into the Yimen.

As soon as they saw Jia Hu walking away, the soldiers immediately surrounded him and shouted, "General Lin, this is a great joy! I must treat you to this drink!"

Lin San came back to his senses, knelt down, kowtowed to Jia Hu's back, stood up, and cleared his throat: "Please! I'll invite you when you're done with your work for a while! Invite you to have a drink and watch Luo Let the girls dance”

"Hey, those are all old almanacs!"

One of the soldiers looked around and lowered his voice: "Who wants to watch the Rakshasa girls dancing now? Everyone has gone to the Japanese tavern. The Japanese girls there... Hey, what a good and obedient girl!" Everyone laughed when he said that.

In the backyard of Ning'an Hall, Jia Hu was in an unusually good mood and walked much more casually than usual.

Before he could reach the door, Xiangling had already come out and opened the curtain: "Second Master is back."

"Ah."

Jia Hu walked into the main room, pinched her cheek and said, "Prepare bath water for me."

As soon as he entered the house, there was silence, and he turned and walked into the inner room.

Lin Daiyu was sitting in front of his desk, writing something with the pen that he could only use.

Rhododendron and Snow Goose were sitting by the door embroidering.

"The second master is back."

Zicuckoo quickly put down her needlework and came up to help him change his clothes.

Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up when she saw Jia Hu coming in, and she could overflow with surprise.

After changing into a short white coat, Jia Hu walked to the desk and sat down, took a few sips of the tea from Xue Yan's hand, put it down, and asked Lin Daiyu, "What are you busy with?"

Lin Daiyu looked at him with a smile and said, "Are you going to Mrs. Xue's place?"

"Mrs. Xue?"

Jia Hu smiled and said to Zijuan: "Come here and give me a pat on the shoulder."

After hearing this, Zicuckoo walked behind Jia Hu and gently rubbed his shoulders.

At this time, Xue Yan very discerningly came over with a palace fan, stood beside Jia Hu and fanned gently.

Jia Hu closed his eyes, leaned back, half-lying on the chair, leaning his head on Zicuckoo, and said slowly: "I won't go anywhere these days, so don't torment me."

Lin Daiyu stared at Jia Hu, then pursed her lips and smiled.

Jia Hu closed his eyes: "Liu Hong has written. It has been raining heavily in Henan for days. Tell Butler Lin to prepare more thick clothes, and I will ask my soldiers to send them over."

"understood."

Lin Daiyu suddenly remembered: "The Prince of Nan'an County sent a post." As she spoke, she pulled out a post from the official document.

Jia Hu: "Oh? What's the matter?"

Lin Daiyu: "The old Prince of Nan'an County is back. There will be a banquet at home tomorrow. I invite you to come and have a drink."

Jia Hu still closed his eyes: "I won't go."

Lin Daiyu: "Why?"

"I won't eat with a dying person. Bad luck!" Jia Hu slowly opened his eyes.

Gee!
Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Hu, then looked at the post in her hand, then tore it in half from the middle, and then tore it into pieces in two, four, and eight, and threw them into the brazier, waiting for her meeting with Jia Hu in the evening. Burn the waste paper that Hu threw away.

Looking at such a scene, Jia Hu's lips flashed with smile lines. Even Hu Hu didn't understand him as well as Lin Daiyu. "Hey, I've arranged a baby shower for our son."

"Baby kiss? When? Whose girl is it?"

Jia Hu smiled: "Just now." Then he told what happened outside Yimen.

After listening to Jia Hu's words, Lin Daiyu fell silent.

Seeing Lin Daiyu's silence, Jia Hu was a little unhappy. He slapped Zicuckoo's hand away and sat up: "Don't look down on Lin San. To tell you the truth, Lin San is the person I trust the most, and his position will always be ranked second to Yang Before Dayong, Xie Qiong and the others. Even though he only controls a few hundred soldiers now, his power will become greater and greater in the future!"

Lin Daiyu was startled for a moment, then glared at Jia Hu: "I am his sister-in-law, how could I look down on him?! I am worried about what other people will think if this matter spreads out? Especially those old Liaodong troops!"

This time it was Jia Hu's turn to be stunned.

After being silent for a while, Jia Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Marry them all, as long as the age difference is no more than three years, no, as long as they are no more than two years apart, I'll marry them all."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Daiyu was the first to be blinded on the spot.

The rhododendron and snow geese were also covered.

Jia Hu was a little embarrassed: "I am indeed very smart."

"Ah"

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes, "I've never seen you act like a father! Hey, you doubted me just now! I'm actually that kind of person in your heart."

At this moment, Xiang Ling walked in: "Second Master, the bath water has been put away."

Like the sound of nature, Jia Hu stood up quickly: "Good girl, when you are done with this period of work, I will reward you!" Then he strode out.

Xiangling was surprised: "Reward me?"

Zicuckoo on the side couldn't help but cover her face. Sure enough, Lin Daiyu said: "Yes! I will reward you heavily! I will reward you to serve him and take a bath."

"Ah~"

Xiangling was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zijuan pitifully.

Zicuckoo ignored her, walked into the bedroom and handed her the clean clothes he had prepared. She suppressed her laughter and said, "Go quickly."

Xiangling: "Oh." She took Jia Hu's clothes with both hands and walked towards the Bisha cabinet.

Lin Daiyu picked up the book and flipped through two pages, then remembered: "Go to the back and tell Mrs. Xue to let her rest early."

Zijuan: "Yes." She answered, turned around and walked out.
At this time, in the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, he returned to his long-awaited home and saw his relatives. The old Nan'an County Prince's complexion and mood were much better. He was sitting in the study talking to his mother, Princess Nan'an.

Prince Nan'an silently refilled the cups of tea for the old Prince Nan'an and Princess Nan'an.

"Why are you back at this time?" Princess Nan'an finally asked her doubts.

The old Nan'an County Prince smiled: "Mother is worried that the old lady will attack our family, right?"

Princess Nan'an nodded.

Old Nan'an County Prince: "She doesn't dare! It's not what it used to be. She doesn't have the confidence, let alone the courage! If our family is touched, Southern Xinjiang will rebel!"

Princess Nan'an asked again: "Then why are you coming back this time?"

The old Nan'an County Prince smiled: "I heard some Western things from the Annan people. They have a system called constitutional monarchy. Under this system, the emperor is just a decoration, and the court practices an aristocratic political system. The court All matters were put on the table, and everyone discussed and issued orders together, which is a bit like the discussion between the Eight Tatar Kings."

Princess Nan'an was shocked: "Is this possible?"

Old Nan'an County Prince: "Nothing is impossible. Now that the power is in our hands, the Wu family must agree even if they don't agree! This is also what Li Chengyang meant. In addition, Li Chengyang also sent a letter to the Wu family and the King of Zhennan."

Hearing this, Princess Nan'an's eyes lit up.

The old Nan'an County Prince continued: "I came back this time to communicate with other families, especially the Jia family!"

After a pause, "Li Chengyang's original words were that he was sorry for Jia Hu and betrayed the alliance between the two parties. He would take action to deal with the young emperor, and then push Prince Fu to the throne as the puppet emperor. From now on, everyone will be the master of the country together. "

Hearing this, Prince Nan'an felt ecstatic in his heart. At the same time, he despised Li Chengyang very much. He had a thief's heart but not his courage!
The old Nan'an County Prince stood up: "I will go to Xuanzhen Temple now to see Jia Jing and discuss this matter with him. I will not return to the city tonight."

Princess Nan'an and Prince Nan'an nodded together and walked out.

Old Nan'an County Prince: "Butler."

The butler came in in response.

Old Nan'an County Prince: "Prepare a horse, don't send a guard, I want to go out."

After a while, the old Nan'an County Prince in Qingyi Xiaomao walked out from the small door of the back garden.
