Jia Baoyu from the Red Chamber

Chapter 550 New Situation

It is said that time flies by, but Jia Baoyu does not have such a feeling. From the day of engagement to the second day of February, Jia Baoyu is busy every day, trying to find out the situation of Emperor Huaqing. , but also pay attention to the situation of the war, as well as its own interests.

In Prince Yizhong’s situation, none of them can be easily done, but Jia Baoyu has to do these things at the same time. Perfection is not really required.

Because of the ongoing war, Huachao canceled all celebrations. The original Lantern Festival was not celebrated any more. It was just a small celebration for each family and a meal together. Huachao and Houjin were comparing each other. Let's see which one can quickly quell the civil strife.

In this month, there have been several more rebellions in various places. The number of people is not large, but the effect is not small, but it has been controlled now. There have been no new rebellions for nearly half a month. There was no news about Liu Yiyuan. Jia Baoyu knew that this matter had not officially started yet, so he was a little worried. [

Jia Zheng, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, is too busy to go home now, and when he came back, he talked about counter-rebellion twice, and he was filled with righteous indignation.

The corruption of the Hua Dynasty army is beyond imagination. The 100 years of stability have made those people forget about the war. They are old, weak, sick, and disabled. In short, they have no combat effectiveness at all. If it weren't for the rebellion, they are all small groups, and now they are probably out of control.

Today is the day when Jia Huan and Jia Lan come back. Jia Baoyu has nothing to do today because he was waiting while doing things early in the morning. In Qiushuangzhai, Jia Baoyu, Li Wan, and Tanchun sat around Tanchun's The case table is full of various things, but Yingchun and Xichun are responsible for helping to find things.

Sister Feng has suffered from a serious illness these days, and she hasn't recovered until now. Most of the affairs in the yard have fallen on Tanchun and Li Wan.

Because of the various handovers, the two are busy, and Jia Baoyu can only do more things by himself. After all, Tanchun's energy is limited, and the recent things are really important, so I feel relieved to handle Jia Baoyu myself.

Recently, a large number of people have poured into the city, some are victims of disasters, and some are big families who care about their own safety. Although the rebels of the White Lotus Sect are mostly in places where the White Lotus Sect is prevalent, there are also some troublemakers in other places. This is a pretext.

Naturally, most of this is the behavior of some opportunistic people, but one or two people may die, as long as there is nothing wrong with them, because many qualified people go to their own places here up.

It stands to reason that Jiangnan is still very peaceful, but there are also those who are too timid, for fear of any problems. The Jia family has many distant relatives who have come to defect to them these days. Of course, it is too much to say that they defected. Most of the people who can't be reached are famous people who have a place to live in this city, and they just come to say hello.

Originally, Jia Huan and Jia Lan, who were supposed to be home at most, did not hear of their arrival outside the city until noon. Jia Baoyu's hearer explained that he met an old acquaintance on the way and was delayed for a while. , This happened a lot, Jia Baoyu didn't care, just let people continue as before.

Someone has prepared the food here, and it looks like it's almost ready. Jia Baoyu guessed that it's about time to come back. He was about to tell Jia Mu to pick it up, but he saw Lin Zhixiao's family coming, "Follow Huan San Lord, the ones who came here together are from the Zhen family in Jiangnan."

"Jiangnan Zhen's family? What are they doing here? The Zhen family's roots are in Jiangnan, so they can't move to this capital!" Jia Baoyu asked.

There is also some investigation on Jia Baoyu from the Zhen family. He is a big silk and satin family in the south of the Yangtze River. He was offered to the royal family at the meeting. Although curious, but there is no specific news, Jia Baoyu is naturally a little concerned when the Zhen family comes over.

"I don't know about this, but I heard that there are quite a few people here, and I'm afraid they will move in." Lin Zhixiao's family was not very clear about these things either.

Both Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang saw Jia Baoyu's interest. This often happened to Jia Baoyu in the past, but it has become less and less in the past two years. Maintaining a normal mind, which made Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang feel at ease, at the same time, sometimes they would miss the past. Seeing Jia Baoyu like this suddenly, naturally he was a little concerned.

Mrs. Wang asked, "Baoyu, why are you so interested in his family?"

"Baoyu occasionally heard last year that their family also had a man named Baoyu, so I just remembered it in my heart."

"There is also one named Baoyu." Jia Mu was also interested, "I don't know if I have followed this time, but if I come, I have to take a good look at it."

"How can others compare to the second elder brother?" Xichun answered Jia's mother directly, and then gave Jia Baoyu a look of seeing how good I was at talking.

Jia Baoyu just wants to write a big praise on Xichun's face for defending Xichun like this, but this is obviously not acceptable, because Jia Baoyu said: "The monthly payment will double from next month, and you have to work harder to make it work." yes."[

Xichun's smiling face suddenly blossomed into a smile. Recently, Xichun is seriously short of money. She follows Miaoyu all day long. Xichun doesn't learn much about other things, but Miaoyu's pickiness has learned a lot. The cups she used before, Dishes and everything felt too vulgar and not elegant enough, and the little money she had accumulated over the years was spent on them, even if it was so, it was still a lot worse.

Hearing that Xichun had obtained such benefits, Xiangyun was not to be outdone, and unceremoniously expressed his support for his "love" brother. Naturally, the monthly money was doubled, while Yingchun and the others were ashamed to be like the two of them. , otherwise it would be lively.

Mother Jia likes to see the kindness of the younger generation, and she said a few words, and then she remembered that she had not told Lin Zhixiao's family, because she said: "There is no need to prepare anything today. Their family also has several courtyards here. I'm afraid you need to prepare well, it's coming tomorrow, so you just ask the people below to prepare some high-level and low-level rewards."

Lin Zhixiao's family heard this and went there. Lin Zhixiao's family had just left here, and someone said that Jia Huan and Jia Lan had already arrived at the mansion. Li Wan immediately took Li Wen and Li Qi After going out, Jia Baoyu and Tanchun also went together.

The two grew up. This is Jia Baoyu's first feeling when he sees the two of them. Whether it is Jia Huan or Jia Lan, a sentence like Zhu Zhechi, and Mo Zhehei is really a wise saying, unless this person is too much. It has its own characteristics. Jia Huan is obviously not that kind of person. Lai and Aunt Zhao's teachings have a lot to do with his vulgarity these years.

Jia Baoyu's impact on Jia Huan was an introduction. Along the way, Jia Huan believed that he could not lose Jia's family. As an elder, he had to take care of Jia Lan. There was a period of decadence, but after knowing the shame and courage, I worked hard to improve myself.

When he arrived at Yuelu Academy, Jia Huan realized his own shortcomings. He read carefully and discussed with others every day under the influence of his colleagues in the academy. After living like this for half a year, Jia Huan's growth can be seen directly. of.

Posture, conversation and other aspects are not very good, but there is no problem with passing the pass. What is even more rare is that Jia Baoyu sees the respect in it, without the resentment of the past. Under the influence of Confucian education, Jia Huan truly understands I have established my own status and respected people from the heart.

"Very good." Jia Baoyu looked at Jia Huan for a long time before uttering these two words.

Jia Baoyu is really happy, happy that the family can be more united. In the past, whether it was Jia Huan's resentment towards Jia Baoyu, or Jia Baoyu's dislike for Jia Huan, these were all immature expressions.

Jia Baoyu matured before Jia Huan left, and Jia Huan matured after he came back. In comparison, Jia Baoyu is not as good as Jia Huan.

Compared with Jia Huan, Jia Lan's changes are very little, but his height has changed a lot, which is exactly the age of growing body.

Jia Baoyu and Li Wan took them to Jia Mu's place. Jia Huan's change made Tanchun very happy, but Tanchun couldn't say much in front of others. As for the others, they didn't care much. Huan is a concubine, and there is a matter of Aunt Zhao, it is impossible for everyone to be able to see the difference and Jia Huan's change at a glance like Jia Baoyu.

After the meal, Jia Huan and Jia Lan went to straighten out their own things. Jia Baoyu didn't follow him anymore, and he didn't ask anyone to help him with anything. Knowing that these changes were enough, Jia Huan couldn't help Jia Baoyu with anything. , even if he grows up, it's just that he doesn't drag Jia Baoyu back at home.

Jia Baoyu, who was planning to go back to his comfortable life for a while, was disturbed again. His servants hurriedly sent news that another large-scale rebellion had begun, and this time the leader was the guardian of the White Lotus Sect.

After Jia Baoyu got the news, he hurriedly prepared, and then went to the palace. There must be a court meeting for such a big event, and the recent court meeting is not much worse than that of the past ten years.

The rebellion started in the early morning of the [-]st, and it was the largest and most organized so far. Jia Baoyu didn't know the exact result, but Jia Baoyu didn't have any expectations, all because the imperial army was really poor. It's too much, so bad that it can't make people have half a point of confidence.
