The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 308 Noble Instructions
"A lamp of sorrow, standing alone at the window. I'm behind the door, pretending that you haven't left yet... Water flows eastward, how can you steal time? Flowers bloom and mature once, but I missed it."

The rain was still rumbling outside the window, but it was extremely quiet inside the house. None of the girls spoke, as if they were still immersed in the music, and they seemed to have their own thoughts and memories of the past.

As the saying goes, which boy does not admire Ai, and which girl does not cherish spring? The lyrics of this song "East Wind Breaks" are so beautiful and touching. Coupled with the beautiful and poignant melody mixed with a touch of sadness, it seems to be telling A touching love story between childhood sweethearts. At this time, Ping'er, the "eldest" in the house, was only eighteen or nineteen years old. Strictly speaking, she was still a girl in the rainy season. It was normal to yearn for beautiful love.

"Who is playing the pipa, a song of east wind breaks through the years. The years are peeling off the wall, and I see my childhood. I still remember that we were still very young, but now the sound of the piano is faint, and you have never heard of my waiting..."

Although the lyrics of this song are straightforward, it is really as beautiful as poetry. Lin Daiyu recited these lines silently in her heart, and the scene when she first entered Rongguo Mansion and met Jia Huan for the first time appeared in her mind. She couldn't help but Her heartbeat accelerated, and her pretty face felt inexplicably feverish. She couldn't help but secretly spat: "Huan'er is really a brat. You wrote such a song at such a young age. Look back and see how people made fun of you."

Little Xingyuan is only eight or nine years old now, but the woman is already precocious. This is the age when she is ignorant about the love between men and women, and this song was played after Jia Huan led her through the overgrown reeds. I taught it to her while enjoying the shade under a tree, so I was particularly impressed by a line in You Xi's song: I led you through the ancient path outside the fence. In the old days when the grass was full of smoke, even parting was silent.

While all the girls were immersed in their own thoughts, the wet nurse, Grandma Wang, walked in excitedly and asked curiously: "The girls are not talking, but are they playing any new games?"

Only then did the girls come back to their senses. Xue Yan hurriedly stepped forward to take over the rain gear that Grandma Wang had taken off. Lin Daiyu asked, "It's raining heavily outside, why is Grandma here?"

Grandma Wang smiled and said, "Steward Xiao just came back from Haimen County."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but feel nervous and asked: "But there is news about the master."

Grandma Wang said happily: "No, I heard that the master is much better and will return to Yangzhou City in the next day."

Lin Daiyu's anxious heart finally relaxed and she recited "Amitabha" softly. Xue Yan's eyebrows were filled with joy and she said, "Girl, you should feel relieved now!"

Ping'er said with a smile: "I just said that my uncle is a Wenqu star from the sky who came down to earth. A lucky person has his own destiny, so he should be blessed and live a long life."

Lin Daiyu's sadness that had been condensed between her brows for many days disappeared at this moment. A rare smile appeared on Lin Daiyu's pretty face, as if the spring breeze was thawing, and as charming as the bright flowers shining on the water. She couldn't wait to ask: "Has Butler Xiao ever mentioned it? When will the master arrive?"

Grandma Wang replied: "Yes, it will be seven or eight days later, four or five days sooner. By the way, there is another happy event."

"What happy event? You old man, please stop showing off." Xue Yan urged.

Grandma Wang smiled and said: "Speaking of which, Third Master Huan is really talented. He has already surrounded the gang leader Kang Dayong in Datong Mountain in Yizhen County. It turns out that it was this group of pirates who robbed the ship at Guazhou Ferry a few days ago. This time But it’s okay, once Mr. Huan captures and kills this thief and settles this chaos, I can rest in peace and recover.”

All the girls were happy when they heard this.

"Master Huan San is the most powerful." Xue Yan said happily, while Xing Yuan nodded in agreement like a chicken pecking at rice, with eyes full of adoring little stars.

Ping'er was both happy and worried. Although the thief was trapped, as the saying goes, a trapped beast still fights. A rabbit bites people when it is anxious, let alone a ruthless gangster. Two days ago, Shitou's boy was shot in the shoulder by a thief. , I have to return to the city for treatment and recuperation. I hope the third master is safe and goes well.

Lin Daiyu was obviously a little worried too. After sending Grandma Wang away, she burned a stick of incense for the first time.

…………

In a luxurious courtyard in Yangzhou City, Ji Jinxiao's relaxed old face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed. It turns out that not long ago, Ji Jinxiao received news from Yangzhou Guard Commander Dai Li that the Kang Dayong brothers and his group had been trapped in Datong Mountain in Yizhen County by Jia Huan. Although Kang Lingcheng and his eldest son Kang Dazhi are dead, Kang Dayong has been working for Gu San Mazi. He knows very well about selling private salt, and the messenger he sent to Dulong Island to contact Gu San Mazi is still with Kang Dayong. In his hands, if Kang Dayong is caught by Jia Huan, he will be in big trouble!

"Grandpa Ji, why should you panic? In fact, it is very simple to resolve this matter. All you need to do is send a dead soldier to kill Jia Huan like he assassinated Kang Lingcheng and his son." Xu Wenhan said coldly.

Because Xu Wenhan coveted Lin Daiyu, he had already had murderous intentions towards Jia Huan. In addition, he had a conflict with Jia Huan on the streets of Haimen County not long ago, and finally left in humiliation. Now he wants to kill Jia Huan with his own hands.

Ji Jinxiao said in a deep voice: "It is easy to assassinate Kanglingcheng and his son, but it is difficult to kill Jia Huan. This son is now equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and there must be many guards around him."

Xu Wenhan curled his lips and said: "I remember that among the dead soldiers raised by our palace, there was a sharp archer who could shoot a three-stone bow and could pierce a poplar with a hundred steps. Now Jia Huan is suppressing bandits in Datong Mountain, and Grandpa Ji sent the dead soldier to a mountain in the mountains. Hidden, look for the opportunity and shoot that kid with an arrow. Even if the person dies, he will only suspect that it was a thief. Kill two birds with one stone. Well, I heard that Yi Hong also ran to Datong Mountain. Kill him by the way. That is one fell swoop. Three wins.”

Ji Jinxiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded and said: "This plan is still feasible, but the matter is very important, let our family think about it for a while."

Xu Wenhan shook his head and said: "If you continue to break up, you will suffer chaos. Now it is urgent. Grandpa Ji does not need to hesitate anymore, and there is no need to ask the ancestors for instructions. All consequences will be borne by himself."

Ji Jinxiao smiled and said: "Brother Han, our family is not afraid of taking responsibility. It's just that the matter is very important, so it's better to be cautious."

At this time, a young eunuch hurriedly walked in and reported: "Master Manager, Mr. Zhang is here to visit."

Ji Jinxiao's heart moved and he nodded: "Take him to the secret room."

It was also raining heavily, and this Mr. Zhang came again, also wearing a hat and covering himself tightly. The only difference was that the last time this man came to visit Ji Jinxiao, it happened to be night, but now it is daytime.

It can be seen that Mr. Zhang was really anxious and came to the door regardless of broad daylight.

Let's say that Ji Jinxiao met Mr. Zhang in the secret room, and the latter immediately said: "Find a way to kill Jia Huan and Yi Hong as soon as possible. Brother Kang Dayong and Kang Dayi must not fall into their hands."

Ji Jinxiao's eyes flashed and he asked curiously: "Last time you blamed me for arranging for someone to ambush Lin Ruhai without consulting you. Why are you so impulsive this time? Could it be that the man above ordered you to do this?"

Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "The night is long and the dream is long. I don't want any more accidents."

Ji Jinxiao smiled sinisterly and said: "Sure, no problem. Since the noble man has spoken, our family dare not obey."

Mr. Zhang snorted coldly and said: "Mr. Ji, please don't make sarcastic remarks. We are all in the same boat. It will not be good for anyone if the boat sinks. So this time, we must be clean and tidy without leaving any flaws."

Ji Jinxiao's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said: "Don't worry, I promise not to leave any trouble this time. I'll say hello to you on behalf of our family, hehe!"

Mr. Zhang nodded, put on his hat and left in a hurry without stopping.
