Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 259 The war changed the fate of many people

Not long after, Li Wan returned to the house with his little daughter in his arms. Sanchun also came out of the back hall with his seven nieces and nephews. Even Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu, who came to play with Xiangyun, came over too.

As soon as she entered the door, Daiyu recognized an acquaintance.

"Sister Xue!" Although it had been six or seven years since they first met, Daiyu still recognized the young lady she had met at her eldest cousin Jia Hui's 19th birthday party at a glance.

"Sister Lin!" Xue Baochai was also very happy to see her old childhood friend again. She quickly got up and walked towards Lin Daiyu, took her hand and became intimate.

"Oh? Yu'er knows the girl from the Xue family?" Mother Jia was a little surprised to see that her granddaughter actually knew Xue Baochai, whom she met for the first time.

"Of course! My ancestors, my grandson and Sister Bao are old acquaintances!" Daiyu replied lively, "At that time, elder brother Hui was hosting a banquet for his nineteenth birthday."

"What? Nineteen what?" Jia Mu felt that there might be something wrong with her ears.

"Brother Hui's nineteenth birthday! Ancestor, Brother Hui was so powerful at that time. Officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River gathered in Jinling to celebrate his birthday. My grandson and Sister Bao also met at that time!" Lin Daiyu took it for granted! said.

However, Jia's mother didn't care at all how many officials attended a birthday. Whether it was her father-in-law Jia Yuan or her husband Jia Daishan, half the court would come to celebrate their birthday. She had seen this kind of scene too many times.

"Nineteenth birthday. Hahaha, this kid is not afraid of ruining his luck," Jia Mu said in a low voice, as if she had a hint.

This is what Jia Mu is most concerned about

Hearing this, Li Wan smiled and said nothing.

The husband had already conquered the Three Kingdoms and became famous, so he had to be granted the title of Taiwei for completing his meritorious service. Now, the purpose of Jinjin industry is to establish the virtues of loyalty and diligence. When you are old and write your own art of war and complete the statement, you will have three immortals. Not to mention entering the Martial Temple, entering the Imperial Ancestral Temple will only be a slap in the face of the country. gold.

To put it bluntly, he died suddenly on the spot. He was also a prostitute named Huo Yao and his husband was a murderous general who had no taboos.

Since Daiyu and Baochai have known each other for a long time, it will be easier to handle. Just let Lin Daiyu take Xue Baochai to get to know her peers and juniors.

However, before getting to know each other, Sanchun and the children still had to meet their elder Xue Wang.

When Mrs. Xue Wang asked them to stand up with a smile, Lin Daiyu took Xue Baochai and introduced her: "This is your aunt, Baoyu.

Then other people were introduced, everyone greeted each other, and arranged the order of sisters and brothers. Yingchun was the longest, followed by Xue Baochai, followed by Lin Daiyu and Tanchun, and finally Xiao Xichun.

A few years ago, people from the Ningguo Mansion returned to Luoyang non-stop after the filial piety ceremony in Jinling. Jia Zhen, without the restraint of her biological father, naturally would not raise Xichun, whom he considered a burden, and still left her to be raised by the Rongguo Mansion.

At the same time, Yingchun has also made an engagement.

Choosing a son-in-law for Yingchun has been a problem that has troubled Jia Hui for a long time. Ever since Yingchun got her hairpin, she has been busy choosing a husband for her.

One pick lasts four years.

During this period, the bastard named Sun Shaozu also tried to marry the Taiwei by virtue of his status as Jia Daishan's old minister. Jia She was almost persuaded to do so. If Oriole hadn't found out in time and planned an accident for him, he would be killed. Without him, Yingchun almost made the same mistakes as the original work.

Until last autumn, Jia Hui unexpectedly discovered a talent.

That man's name is Gongsun Yu. He is the same age as Yingchun and even a month younger. His talent and looks are as good as those of a flower boy!

That's right, another top pick.

According to Jia Hui's investigation, it was found that he is indeed a very outstanding talent and has great experience in dealing with people. The most important thing is that he is timid, so he is very honest.

What's even more coincidental is that the fiancée he had set in his early years was poisoned to death by her concubine, who was jealous of her having a good marriage.

Since then, he has not had a fiancée and is still unmarried.

Seeing this, Jia Hui thought that he would change his sexual orientation after experiencing a big change. However, after reading the entire information, he realized that he was overly worried about whether he should go to a brothel or a brothel, but he never promised to have biological sisters again. It's someone else's marriage.

After reading the information obtained from Tan Ji of the Embroidery Guard, Jia Hui immediately decided that it would be him!

So on the day when the results were released, when Jia Hui was trying to catch his son-in-law, Jia Hui followed what his grandfather had done when he was trying to catch Jia Min's son-in-law. He and dozens of soldiers, wearing full armor and covering their faces, rushed into the crowd and defeated them. After fighting countless opponents, he successfully captured Gongsun Yu alive and kidnapped him back home.

After a series of face-to-face exchanges, Yingchun and Gongsun Yu were both satisfied with each other, and the matter was settled.

Well, the sixth day of winter in the second half of this year will be the day when Yingchun and Gongsun Yu get married.

. . . . . .

After all the fun, it was dusk, and the kitchen was already busy. The cooks planned to do their best to make this dinner a beautiful one!

Of course, a Xue family is not worthy of the efforts of the cooks in Rongguo Mansion. It was rare for the Taiwei to return home for a banquet, which was why they used all their strength.

We must make the eldest young master happy!

While the women and children in the back room were having fun, a maid came to report that the uncle had returned home!

Hearing this, Xue Baochai trembled all over and rubbed the handkerchief with both hands, extremely nervous.

Li Wan, who had been paying attention to Xue Baochai, naturally noticed something like her, so he patted her shoulder gently, gave her a smile, and took the children to find their father. When Jia Mu heard Jia Hui coming, her body also trembled.

In fact, she didn't want to see Jia Hui. In the past few years, he had never taken advantage of him in the confrontation with Jia Hui, and even his expression changed a little when he heard about it.

Mother Jia reluctantly smiled at Wang Xue, as if she really wanted to see Jia Hui. Suddenly she no longer wanted to watch these little girls playing around, so she asked Wang Xifeng to give orders for the banquet.

forecourt.

Jia Hui, wearing a narrow-sleeved official uniform with red woven gold and red bird pattern, was sitting under the nave of Rongxi Hall. Sitting next to him was Jia She on another seat.

"Xue Pan." Jia Hui looked carefully at this young man who looked a little naive.

"Xue Pan pays homage to the Taiwei!" Xue Pan pushed the golden mountain and knocked down the jade pillar, kneeling faster than when he knelt down to Jia She just now, and kowtowed several times.

"Haha, get up." Jia Hui nodded, recalling the information about him in Jiangnan over the years.

Maybe it's because his father, Xue, lived a few more years and educated him for a few more years. Although he was still a fool, he didn't beat anyone to death for grabbing the maid as in the original work.

Speaking of robbing the maid, Xiang Ling. No, her name should be Zhen Yinglian. Her fate has also changed a lot compared to the original work.

The rebellion in Jiangnan changed the fate of too many people, such as the victim of the Calabash Case, Mr. Feng Yuan and Mr. Feng. Their master and servant were kidnapped by the rebels during the rebellion seven or eight years ago. In the end, they didn't even know whether they were dead or alive. Only some broken land deeds and a few pages of genealogy shredded into pieces of paper were left behind. He was discovered by the Qi army who had swept away the remaining enemies.

Similarly, the group of people who abducted Zhen Yinglian, Yaozi, were also dispersed in the troubled times. They could only be divided into small groups, each with some abducted children, and scattered to survive.

Zhen Yinglian was also among them, but they were luckier than their companions who were taken away by other people. The people who took them away wanted to take them to the more peaceful Yangzhou and sell them directly to Go to someone who specializes in training thin horses.

However, the idea was good and the plan was good, but when they first arrived at Yanziji and were about to take a boat to go north, they were bumped into by Jia Yucun, who was at Yanziji to receive new weapons from the Linzi Military Bureau!

The distance between Zhen Yinglian and Jia Yucun was so close that Jia Yucun recognized the little girl with the rouge mole in the middle of the crowd at a glance!

Wasn't it the only daughter of Mr. Zhen Shiyin, Zhen Yinglian, who had helped him many times when he was still failing the imperial examination?

Maybe it was because his conscience was still intact, or maybe he wanted to portray a kind and righteous person in front of Jia Hui. Anyway, the man Yazi was ordered to be killed on the spot by Jia Yucun, and these abducted children were finally saved.

For the rescued children, the officers and soldiers will naturally try to help them find their families, but in this chaotic situation, they don’t even know if their family members are dead or alive. The children were so young when they were abducted that they basically can’t even remember their last names. , there is no other way, if you can't go back and find a home, you can only be sent to the shantang.

But Zhen Yinglian was different. Jia Yucun took her to find her bride in a serious way.

But in the end, she discovered that her father, Zhen Shiyin, had disappeared after becoming a monk, and then she found her maternal family, the Feng family. However, due to the war, the Feng family left the building empty and disappeared. Jia Yucun had no choice but to recognize her as his adopted daughter and gave her to his wife, Jiao Xing, one of the maids of the Feng family in the early years, to raise her. Jia Yucun did not Change her surname and plan to use it for marriage after she is raised, or simply give it to Jia Hui

This is also the reason why the provincial chief envoy of Jia Yucun appeared on the Xue family's boat when he was in Jinling.

He sent his adopted daughter Zhen Yinglian to Jia Hui. As for whether she should be a concubine or a foot-washing maid, that was none of Jia Yucun's business. Anyway, searching for Zhen Yinglian's relatives had already created an image of love and righteousness for herself. He raised her like his own for six or seven years, and finally sent her to be a concubine to a top dignitary in the dynasty, or to marry a soldier of the Jia Hui family. It was a good destination, even if Zhen Shiyin faced her, Everyone has to raise their thumbs and say: "Jia Shifei is so benevolent and righteous!"

Now, Zhen Yinglian has been carried into the county government's mansion. As for what Jia Hui will do with her, let's talk about it in two days.

"I believe Brother Lian has told you the matter, right?" Jia Hui opened the fan and fanned himself casually.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Xue Pan suddenly raised his head and didn't react for a moment.

The hand fanning suddenly stopped.

"You didn't tell him?" Jia Hui turned around and glanced at Jia Lian, which made Jia Lian feel terrified.

"Say, I said it!" Jia Lian was very familiar with Jia Hui's beating techniques, and quickly explained: "I told Brother Xue as soon as we got off the boat, don't even think about leaving when we get to the capital of God, and I said Brother Xue is stupid I want to throw him into the military camp so that he can have a hard time with him."

"What?!" Hearing this, Xue Pan was horrified and his eyes were about to burst open. The Governor was really going to do this!

Seeing Xue Pan's reaction, Jia Hui was sure that Jia Lian had indeed told him, so he stopped caring about him. He turned back to look at Xue Pan and said, "Wen Long, your father and I made an agreement, saying that I would give him You have a bright future, what do you think?"

"Old, grass-roots, grass-roots people, no, I, can I not go?" In Jia Lian's conversation, the Governor wants him to start from the top soldiers and work his way up!

Forget it, forget it, it's good to be a businessman, it's good

Xue Pan's words were not what Jia Hui expected, so Jia Hui frowned and stared at Xue Pan with evil eyes: "You bastard, are you going to break the trust of a certain family?"

Originally, Jia Hui could have left him alone. Anyway, he had not established a written agreement with Xue Jiazheng'er.

However, this matter was something that he and Lao Xue, who passed away a few years ago, had personally promised, and there were many officials around him who witnessed it. If he really ignored him, if it was exposed in the future, would he still lose his reputation?

The most important thing is that Old Xue also sent himself a letter before leaving, begging him not to forget that there was a concubine of the Xue family in Jinling, and there was also a general of the Xue family.

Although Jia Hui could tell that this letter was definitely not written by Lao Xue himself, he must have spent a lot of effort to find a final letter that many people had figured out, and then copied it on paper himself, but this still did not delay his acceptance. The words moved my eyes red, and the macho man shed tears.

"No, no! Grand Governor, I really don't, don't have to." How could Jia Hui's momentum be tolerated by a playboy? The moment Xue Pan and Jia Hui looked at each other, Xue Pan was so frightened that he fell to the ground, speaking incoherently.

"Oh, okay, brother Hui, I'm not talking about you as a father. Today, the Xue family has just arrived. He must not want to do anything after a long journey. He will be rested in a few days and he will be fine. Let him go by then. It's not too late for the military camp!" Jia She did not let Jia Hui continue.

This new kid he met immediately liked him at first glance. He didn't want his grown-up to push him too hard, but he also knew that Jia Hui had promised in public that he would bring Xue Pan into the official position, so ostensibly he wanted to do it for Xue Pan. Pan begged for mercy, but actually agreed on his behalf inadvertently.

"Yes, yes! Grand Governor, I have traveled all the way from Jinling to Luoyang, which is thousands of miles, and I am very tired! In two days or two, when I have rested, I will definitely go to the military camp. No one can advise me. It’s useless!” Sure enough, Xue Pan was caught.

"Okay! My son is so determined!" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, but Xue Pan froze in place.

Everyone quickly looked in the direction of the sound and found Mrs. Xue Wang who was looking at Xue Pan excitedly.

Being interrupted by his mother, Xue Pan finally calmed down and his wisdom returned to his brain.

Damn it, I've been tricked!
