The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 269 Surname Chen
Qin Hongyu was silent for a long time, looking at Xiao Xingyuan who was standing by nervously and said: "Do you really know Jia Huan?"

Xing Yuan nodded and said: "My maid was originally from Tongzhou. When the Tatars invaded, my family suffered a disaster. Both my parents were killed and the family was destroyed. Fortunately, I survived due to the care of my wet nurse, Aunt Zhou. My maid has an aunt." After marrying in Suzhou, Grandma Zhou wanted to take her maid to seek refuge with her, but unfortunately she had nothing to offer and the journey was difficult and dangerous. Fortunately, we met Mr. Huan, who took us to Yangzhou along the way, and with the help of Mr. San, we were able to go smoothly. Arriving in Suzhou to seek refuge with my aunt, my servant will never forget her great kindness."

Xing Yuan was originally Xiaojiabiyu. Her family was well off. She had read some books since she was a child and had a good upbringing. Her wet nurse, Aunt Zhou, was also a person who knew books and etiquette. Under her careful guidance, little Xing Yuan had completed her elementary school education and recognized He is good at writing, arithmetic, and good conversational skills.

Qin Hongyu nodded and said, "I see, then are you willing to leave with Jia Huan?"

Xing Yuan fell to his knees: "But it's up to my aunt to make the decision."

Qin Hongyu sighed: "Forget it, now I, Qin Hongyu, can't protect myself. Instead of staying in this precarious place, you might as well follow him."

Jia Huan's heart moved. How could he protect himself? It seems that his previous guess was good. Qin Hongyu had to go ashore to seek medical advice in person. There was indeed a reason. Could it be that she had a falling out with her adoptive father Gu San Mazi?

Xiao Xingyuan was originally kind-hearted, but when he heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a smile: "If my aunt doesn't dislike my clumsiness, I can stay and continue to serve my aunt."

Qin Hongyu felt warm in her heart and shook her head: "No need, you should leave with that boy Jia Huan. I don't have any great kindness to you. I took you in and you served me wholeheartedly for more than half a year. You don't owe me anything. So there is no need to feel guilty. In addition, there is no need to pay any ransom. I, Qin Hongyu, am not a good person by any means, but I do good deeds on a whim."

Jia Huan couldn't help but be in awe, and his impression of the female bandit leader was greatly changed. He cupped his hands and said, "This is how I would like to thank Master Qin for the success."

Qin Hongyu snorted coldly and said: "If Yuanyuan hadn't mentioned this past incident, I would never have handed her over to you. Yuanyuan is a good-looking girl who is kind and simple. If she meets someone who is not kind, she will just give her to you." It will harm her, I hope you take good care of her."

"Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I will treat Yuanyuan like a brother and sister." Jia Huan said sincerely.

Qin Hongyu hummed, threw the double-barreled short gun back to Jia Huan, and warned coldly: "You are not bad, you will be a good official in the future. If you dare to take bribes and bend the law, I, Qin Hongyu, will be the first one to refuse." Spare you."

Jia Huan took the short spear, held it in his hand and said with a smile: "Master Qin made a serious statement. Jia Huan does not dare to promise that he will be a good official who will leave a name in history, but he will never be a bad official who harms the people. The world is not in vain." That's black, for example, although Mr. Qin is a thief, he has his own bottom line, doesn't he? "

Qin Hongyu glanced at Jia Huan with a strange look, and said calmly: "Jia Xiucai really has a lotus tongue and is able to distinguish talents. But I don't have time to chat with you. Chou slave, please send a small boat to take them ashore."

Xing Yuan kowtowed to Qin Hongyu three more times before standing up with tears in her eyes.

Just as Jia Huan was about to turn around and leave, Qin Hongyu suddenly said, "Wait a minute?"

Jia Huan's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped and asked, "Does Master Qin have any other advice?"

Qin Hongyu's expression changed, and she hesitated for a moment before saying: "It was Kang Dayong's own decision to attack Haimen County, and it had nothing to do with King Dulong. Now that Kang Dayong has killed King Dulong and occupied Dulong Island, I am afraid that he will invade coastal counties in a large scale in the near future. Your last choice It reminds Lin Ruhai to take precautions."

Jia Huan's face changed slightly, and he finally understood why Qin Hongyu took the risk to go ashore to seek medical advice. She dared to rebel and killed Gu San Mazi and took control of the entire Dulong Island. As Gu San Mazi's adopted daughter, Qin Hongyu Naturally, Kang Dayong became the target of eradication.

Qin Hongyu couldn't stay on Dulong Island any longer. She might still be hunted by Kang Dayong, so she had no choice but to venture ashore to seek medical advice. No wonder she showed murderous intent when she heard the words "Kang Dayong".

Now the trouble is big. Kang Dayong is cruel and murderous. Now that he has controlled the power of Dulong Island, he will definitely invade the coast of Dajin at all costs. Haimen County is a good proof. This person is better than the old Gu San Mazi. Far more dangerous.

Jia Huan's mind was spinning, and he looked at Qin Hongyu and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you telling me this?"

Qin Hongyu said calmly: "I just don't want to see innocent people lose their lives. As for those who have vested interests as officials, I don't care how many people die."

Jia Huan frowned and said, "Officials are not necessarily bad people, there are also good officials!"

"There are indeed good officials, but they are hard to find even with a lantern. Even your uncle Lin Ruhai is not a good official. His family is extremely wealthy and he cannot be considered honest. He is at best a competent official." Qin Hongyu said contemptuously. Jia Huan shook his head and said: "Master Qin's understanding of officials is too narrow. Good officials and bad officials are not judged by their wealth. They are all human beings, so why should good officials have to suffer poverty? Frankly speaking, two sleeves are a breeze. A mediocre official is actually more harmful than a capable corrupt official. The latter can at least keep the people fed and clothed, and the country strong and strong, without being bullied by foreign enemies. "

Qin Hongyu sneered: "It's ridiculous, I won't argue with you. You'd better leave immediately before I change my mind."

Jia Huan cupped his hands and said: "The fact that Master Qin can inform me of this matter shows that he is a man of great righteousness. Why not accept the court's invitation and assist the government in wiping out Kang Dayong and his gang? Not only can we eliminate harm for the people, but we can also take revenge!"

Qin Hongyu's expression changed and she said sternly: "Shut up, I, Qin Hongyu, will seek revenge on Kang Dayong. I will never be a hawk for the imperial court. If you dare to say more, your life will be taken."

Jia Huan frowned and had no choice but to cup his hands and said: "Forget it, Jia Huan will say goodbye. If Master Qin figures it out one day, he can contact me at any time and Jia Huan can take care of it!" After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the cabin quickly.

Soon, Xiao Xingyuan packed up his troops, and Chounu ordered someone to put down a bow boat, and then personally sent Jia Huan and Xingyuan to the shore.

The big ship was not far from the shore, and it docked in a hidden reed swamp half an hour later.

"Sister Chounu, thank you!" Xiao Xingyuan reluctantly held Chounu's hand after landing.

The ugly slave's extremely ugly face showed a rare trace of tenderness, and he said in a rough voice: "What can I thank you for? I used to scold you a lot."

Xing Yuan shook his head and said: "Although Sister Chounu often scolds Yuanyuan, if someone bullies Yuanyuan, you will protect Yuanyuan."

The ugly slave grinned an ugly smile and waved: "Let's go and live a good life. Your hooves are too soft and soft, so you are not made to be a pirate."

After speaking, the ugly slave threw a deed of sale and a money bag to Jia Huan, then turned around and jumped on the boat, rowing away without looking back.

"There are thirty taels of silver and some copper coins in that bag. They are the living expenses I gave Yuanyuan. Master Huan, don't be greedy." A rough voice came from far away on the sea.

Jia Huan watched the ugly slave rowing a boat and disappeared into the smoke. He couldn't help but secretly sigh. Some people are as beautiful as flowers but have a snake-hearted heart, such as Wang Xifeng. Some people are extremely ugly but kind-hearted, such as this ugly slave.

Xiao Xingyuan's eyes were blurred with tears and he kept waving to the sea.

"Let's go!" Jia Huan touched Xing Yuan's bun, turned and walked inland, looking down at the deed of sale, but suddenly froze in place.

Xing Yuan was wiping his tears, and when he saw this, he looked up in confusion and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Jia Huan's eyes fell on the name of the prostitution contract, and his expression was extremely strange, because the three words "Chen Yuanyuan" were clearly written on it, and there was also a red fingerprint.

Xing Yuan followed Jia Huan's gaze and understood immediately, explaining: "My uncle's surname is Chen. After he took refuge with his aunt, in order to settle down, Yuanyuan followed his uncle and changed his surname to Chen, using his nickname."

Chen Yuanyuan! ! !
"Why did you just call me this name when you were born?" Jia Huan felt the thunder above his head and muttered to himself, unable to calm down for a long time.

Seeing this, little Xingyuan said weakly: "Little brother, do you think this name is bad?"

Jia Huan didn't know what to say. He coughed lightly and said, "That's not true. Let's go back to the city."
