Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 71 Aunt
Jia Hun didn't know anything about what happened in Huamanlou, but he wouldn't take it to heart if he knew.

In front of his battle-hardened army, they are all chickens and dogs.

But what makes Jia Hun most flustered now is that he will soon see his own aunt.

Jia Min can be regarded as his childhood shadow.

As Jia Min's first junior, he has been teased far more than Jia Zhu and Jia Lian combined.

However, when Jia Hun grew up, he slowly began to fight back. You came and I fought for several years, until Jia Min married Lin Ruhai who was suffering from the plague, and the secret war between the two stopped.

But also because of this, the relationship between Jia Hun and Jia Min is also very deep.

Jia Min is not so much an aunt as an elder sister.

"Ahem!" Jia Hui cleared his throat.

"General!"

The soldiers outside understood and hurried over.

"How far is it?"

Naturally, the soldiers knew what Jia Hun asked.

"Return to the general, hurry up, we will be there in two blocks."

"Okay, got it."

As he got closer to his aunt, even Jia Hun, who had experienced many battles and had already stabilized his mentality like an old dog, gradually became restless.

He took out a polished silver mirror from the partition and began to arrange his clothes.

This was one of Jia Hun's seizures, and he was reluctant to let it go.

Different from the mercury mirror in the future, this mirror is polished from a whole piece of silver, which is suitable for use in the dark compartment.

It is particularly easy to oxidize and blacken, and requires frequent polishing.

Fortunately, it was captured, otherwise Jia Hun would not have dared to use it, it would be a waste of money!
Jianjie... How can Auntie Jian not show off in front of her?
On the top of the head is a large black tulle hat with a wide brim, a crown inlaid with gold and sapphires, and suet jade hat beads hanging down.

A black gold-woven official uniform with a round neck and narrow sleeves embroidered with Suzaku, a jade belt around the waist, and a saber hanging from it.

Wear mesh boots on your feet.

If it weren't for the hot weather, you would have to step on a pair of oiled black leather soap boots!
"General, just turn around the corner and you will be there!"

Snapped!
The folding fan was opened by Jia Hun and fanned towards him.

The carriage stopped.

Before the guards could open the curtain of the car and put down the small ladder, Jia Hun jumped out of the car as soon as he lifted the curtain and walked into the yamen.

Outside the gate of Yi, a bright and beautiful woman with slashed shoulders and waist was standing at the door, with her phoenix eyes open, she looked at the nephews who came over with tears in her eyes.

The six people, led by Jia Hun, stood behind him.

Jia Hun looked at the woman in front of him, his nose sore.

In his childhood, Jia Min was called aunt, but actually played the role of elder sister. Now that the "siblings" are reunited, how can this make Jia Hun uneasy?

"Nephew... meet aunt!" Jia Hun took the lead and bowed deeply.

"My nephew pays tribute to my aunt!"

"Nephew pays tribute to Aunt Min!"

"My nephew pays respects to Aunt Min!"

The youngsters behind him also saluted one after another.

"Hey, hey, get up, get up!" Jia Min wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, helped up his juniors one by one, and finally looked at Jia Hun.

"Brother Hun, you're strong, you're dark..."

Touching his nephew's rough cheek, Jia Min's eyes welled up with tears.

"It's okay, Auntie, it's just that my face is rough, it's okay!"

Jia Hun lowered his head, only then did he find the young lady who had been standing here, staring at him for a long time.

This person is so hateful, he never looked at himself when he entered the door, hum!

"Aunt, this is Daiyu's cousin, right?" Jia Hun put his hand on the top of little Daiyu's head, causing Daiyu to dodge, but the big hand on top of her head kept pressing on top of her head, unable to break free.

Seeing that her daughter was about to explode, Jia Min quickly opened Jia Hun's hand, and Daiyu got rid of Jia Hun's clutches, glared at Jia Hun, and hid behind Jia Min.

"Daiyu, come here, these are some of your cousins, by the way, this is your nephew Rong, call someone!"

After saluting again, Lin Ruhai saw that it was almost done, and hurriedly led the brothers to the main hall to meet Lin's mother.

The old lady of the Lin family was sitting in the main hall, smiling kindly, Jia Hun and the others quickly saluted, and Lin Ruhai returned the salute for his mother.

Take your seat.

All the people in the hall are relatives of their own families, so the seats are discussed according to their age and seniority.

Jia Hun sat first on the left.

"This is my newborn little cousin?"

Putting the big hat on his head on the table, Jia Hui looked at the little boy lying in the car with great interest. The little boy was lying on the armrest, staring blankly at the Big man, he forgot to eat it with his hands.

Jia Hun stretched out his index finger, and fiddled with Xiao Zai Zai's soft face a few times, making him laugh non-stop with his mouth open.

"That's right, your cousin's name is Chengyu." Jia Min looked at Xiao Chengyu tenderly.

"Chengyu... is it clear Cheng?" Jia Hun asked.

"Exactly, exactly!" Lin Ruhai replied, stroking his beard.

"Hmm..." Jia Hun nodded, groped for the heaviest small sachet from his waist, opened it, and a longevity lock carved from mutton fat and Tian jade appeared in front of everyone.

"Come on, Brother Cheng, this is a gift from your eldest cousin..."

Chengyu seemed to fall in love right away, he grabbed the jade and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Brother Hun, this is too precious!" Lin Ruhai's expression changed when he saw the jade that Jia Hun took out.

Sheep fat jade is not valuable to the Lin family. What is valuable is that this piece of jade is as wide as his thumb and the size of his palm. The caravans were gone.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's just a piece of jade. I found such a piece of high-quality mutton fat after traveling all over the Western Regions. The purpose is to carve a life lock and give it to my little cousin, isn't it, Chengyu?"

Jia Hun carried Chengyu out, put his forehead against Little Chengyu's head and began to push the bull.

"Master, accept it, this is Brother Hun's wish!" Jia Min also saw a lot of good things, and this thing was not bad in her eyes.

In fact, the Lin family has a lot of good things, but Lin Ruhai seldom wanders around the warehouse.

Daiyu also looked at her cousin expectantly, unlike the one who came to Rongguo Mansion alone, her mother died young and she was far away from her father, so she could only force a smile on her face.

Now that she has both parents, she is just a somewhat arrogant onmyoji apprentice, but now there are too many strangers, and she is afraid to speak without getting acquainted.

Seeing Daiyu looking at him, Jia Hun hurriedly asked Jia Lian for a long box, opened it and saw it was a hairpin.

Silver gilt inlaid jade inlaid butterfly chasing flowers top hairpin.

I saw flowers and butterflies made of various gemstones inlaid on the hairpin.A butterfly waving its wings is chasing bright flowers, lifelike, bright and moving.

Not to mention Daiyu now, even Jia Min's eyes lit up when he saw this top hairpin.

"Brother Hun, Daiyu is still young, why don't you give it to your aunt first, and ask your aunt to hold it for your cousin first, and then give it to her when she gets the hairpin."

"Mother!" Seven-year-old Daiyu already knew about Aimei, and when she heard that her mother was going to take away such a beautiful hairpin, she quickly grabbed Jia Min's arm.

As soon as he looked up, he saw his mother looking at him teasingly.

Only then did Daiyu realize that she was being teased by her mother, she lowered her head and began to sob.

"My mother teased me like this, after all, I was compared to my younger brother..."

"Haha!" Jia Hun clasped Chengyu's little hand and patted it.

That's it!

Daiyu, who was interrupted, froze in place, looking innocently at Jia Hun with red eyes.

The cute little face made everyone in the room laugh.

"You! Huh!" Daiyu snorted coldly, threw herself into the arms of the old lady of the Lin family, and said nothing more.

"Brother, have you hugged enough? Please hand it over!" Seeing that Daiyu was blushing almost to the point of smoking, Jia Zhu quickly changed the subject and refocused on Xiao Chengyu.

"You? Do you know how to hold a baby?" Jia Hun looked distrustful.

"What did the elder brother say? I have hugged Sister Tan and Brother Huan!" Jia Zhu turned to look at Jia Min with a hurt face.

"aunt?"

"Brother Hun, just give Brother Zhu a hug!"

Now that Chengyu's mother had spoken, Jia Hun had no choice but to hand over little Chengyu to Jia Zhu.

"Be careful, don't touch him, or you will have good fruit to eat!"

"Me!" Jia Zhu hesitated to speak.

If I can't beat you, I would have fought you long ago!
Jia Zhu followed Jia Hun all the way, and he didn't know if his knowledge had improved, but his blood pressure had increased quite a bit.

Is this guy really a famous general who has wiped out two countries in a row?
For the four teenagers, although they all yearned for Jia Hun, Jia Zhu, an elegant scholar, was more popular in terms of affinity. Even standing there motionless with Jia Hun's physique made people feel pressure.

Seeing the little cousin (cousin) coming into Jia Zhu's arms, the four teenagers hurriedly surrounded him and started teasing the little boy.

"It's great, Chengyu has so many excellent brothers..." Lin Ruhai said enviously.

The five generations of the Lin family are single-handed, and his generation has already made five suits with the Lin clan in Gusu, and they have almost lost contact with each other on weekdays.

Therefore, he has never had a brother who can support each other, and only after he went to the academy did he have a few friends.

Seeing his youngest son surrounded by so many older brothers, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but be envious.

Jia Min also looked at Chengyu in Jia Zhu's arms with relief. It's great to have so many brothers protecting her.

Everyone in the room was chatting and laughing, and they didn't stop until the sun was setting in the west, and the servant girl came to announce that dinner was ready.

"Hey, this is the first time I eat Huaiyang cuisine! But you have to have a good meal, and you will enjoy it!"

After hearing Jia Min say that he had invited the best restaurant in Yangzhou, the master chef of Huamanlou personally served the dishes, Jia Hun, who already loves food, had green eyes and sat at the table with a look of anticipation.

Vance Tofu!
This dish depends on the knife skills. If the knife skills are good, it is called Wensi Tofu. If the knife skills are not good, it is called tofu stew.

The master chef invited from Huamanlou first bowed to everyone present, and then returned to the cutting board in the middle of the lobby, scooped up a piece of tofu from the water, cut off the edges and corners, and then began to demonstrate knife skills.

From the moment the cook held the knife, Jia Hun leaned forward on the surface as if wanting to see more clearly, but his body was always in a state of ready-to-go, and his right index finger under the table kept pointing to the handle of the knife. Locked on the cook.

After cutting a piece of tofu, put the tofu in the soup and shake it apart, causing everyone to exclaim.

Even Jia Hun couldn't help sighing.

His knife skills are only at the level of cutting saozi, which is far from shredding!

When the cook proudly picked up the second piece of tofu, he suddenly felt a chill. Someone was staring at him, and he quickly looked over there. Only the general was staring at the tofu in his hand with a curious face.

The general looked at him suspiciously, as if asking why he hadn't started yet, the cook quickly put the tofu on the table and began to cut it.

Immediately afterwards, because it was a meal-sharing system, bowls of boiled dried shredded rice were served in front of everyone.

Opening the lid, a strong aroma of chicken soup and ham rushed into Jia Hun's nostrils.

This is also one of the representative dishes of Huaiyang cuisine.

The preparation method is also very delicate. First, the dried tofu is sliced ​​into uniform thin slices, and then cut into thin shreds, then served with shredded chicken, sliced ​​bamboo shoots and other auxiliary materials, and then roasted with chicken broth.Supplemented by the alternating use of civil and military fire, it can be tasty.

When it’s time to plate, the cooked shrimp, pea sprouts, shredded ham, and shredded seasonal ingredients will be placed in the bowl, and the thick soup will be poured with dried shreds. It’s delicious!
Next, Huaiyang delicacies such as three sets of duck made from Gaoyou shelduck, salted goose, shark's fin wrapped in duck and lion's head were served on the table one after another.

That is to say, crabs are not in season, otherwise, the crab noodles and lion heads would have been on the table long ago.

In general, it is worthy of the master chef of Huamanlou, and it is worthy of Huaiyang cuisine.

For a while, the guests and hosts had a good time eating, except for the old lady of the Lin family who couldn't eat much, they all walked out against the wall.

It was getting late, and they drank a lot of wine, so Jia Hun and his party will stay in Yushi's Yamen for one night!

　At the end of the two shifts, there are a total of [-] words.

　　Maybe it's because I'm not an onmyoji and I'm withdrawn. It's really hard for me to write dialogues!
