The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 254

Whether it is a big family or a small family, Chinese New Year is a big event.For Ningguo Mansion, which has a population of about a thousand, it is even more important.

As Qin Keqing, who is in charge of domestic affairs inside and outside the Ningguo Mansion, these days of Chinese New Year are so busy that there is hardly a moment of leisure.

Inviting guests and giving gifts, welcoming and sending off, everything has to be done in every detail.

Fortunately, after the eighth day of the lunar new year, the number of things to welcome and send off has decreased a lot.However, it is time to plan this year's affairs again.Shops opened one after another, and the servants who made popcorn were also dispatched one after another.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhuangzi's affairs will also start to get busy.Although the joint production contract responsibility system has been implemented, there are still many things to be dealt with, and not everything is left alone.

Even so, it's still a little more leisurely than before the seventh day.After arranging internal and external affairs, Qin Keqing is ready to arrange her own affairs.

Her own affairs are those of Fourth Uncle Min.She wanted to write a letter to Fourth Uncle Min, and invited Fourth Uncle Min to meet her at her mother's house in Qinjiazhuang.

Fourth Uncle Min was leaving, and she made up her mind to give birth to Fourth Uncle Min.Once Uncle Min left this time, he didn't know when he would come back.

Of course, Fourth Uncle Min will definitely come back.Even a place like Bu Kui couldn't stop Fourth Uncle Min.

Those who say that Fourth Uncle Min won't come back are jealous and gossiping.

Spreading out the paper, Qin Keqing was about to write a letter to Fourth Uncle Min.

The orb came in.

"A soldier came to Yeduju, saying that he brought a letter from Fourth Master Min and wanted to hand it over to Grandma."

"He's from Yeduju? Tell him to come in."

Uncle Min must have some good news.

Fat monitor Zhang Decai came in.

"I met Grandma Rong, our Chief Min asked me to send a letter."

Qin Keqing was a little puzzled, but opened the letter anyway.

"Keqing's words are like meeting you. Min always remembers Keqing's deep friendship. Even if you go to the ends of the world, you don't dare to forget it. No matter where you are, you will never fail Keqing. I have led the troops to Bukui , but you are at home, take care of yourself. If there are important matters unresolved, you can ask the scholar Yu Ji. If you are in trouble, you can find Qiu Liang, the soldier of the five cities. If you have a dispatch, you can send the messenger. I crossed Endless time and space, just to meet you here."

The letter slipped from his hand and gently fell to the ground. Qin Keqing sat down on the chair, staring blankly.

My heart felt like a knife was being twisted, my body trembled involuntarily, and unstoppable tears flowed down my face.

Uncle Min is gone!Just left quietly.

"Are you, Chief Min, sure you're leaving?"

"I left last night, and now I'm afraid I have passed Tongzhou and reached the boundary of Tianjin Wei."

"Thank you so much, Baozhu, reward money."

"Thank you, Grandma Rong, there is no need for rewards. My name is Zhang Decai. When you need it, just come to Yeduju to find me. Chief Min has explained that if Grandma Rong sends you, you will definitely die. I have to go elsewhere Send me a letter, goodbye."

Qin Keqing sat in the room speechless, her heart was empty.

Uncle Min, is your heart so cruel?Before leaving, didn't you see Keqing?This way, when can I come back?

Compared with Qin Keqing, Baochai's life this year was relatively easy.

During the Chinese New Year, all business stopped, and Wang Xifeng was taking care of the family affairs in Rongguo Mansion, so she didn't need to worry about it.Therefore, during this period of time, she is relatively leisurely.

However, there are also troublesome things, and the main reason is about the fourth brother Min.

During the New Year greetings, I saw Fourth Brother Min a few times, but just to say hello.A few words are also polite, neither salty nor bland, not interesting.

She really wanted Fourth Brother Min to talk to her a few more words, but she didn't know whether Fourth Brother Min was too busy or there was a gap in his heart, but there was no such opportunity.

Regarding Jia Min's going to Bukui, Baochai's point of view is still different from others.

She didn't think that Jia Min would not be able to come back once he left, on the contrary, he also thought that this was an opportunity for Jia Min to rise.

Looking back at what Jia Min has done in the past, Jia Min always fought to break a bloody path when others seemed desperate, and finally turned defeat into victory.

Baochai believes that this time will be no exception.

Aunt Xue wanted to betroth her to Jia Min at first, but later she regretted it.This disappointed Baochai.After thinking about it for a while, she regained hope.

So, she has to take some remedial measures.At the very least, he still needs to maintain a relatively good relationship with Jia Min.

Even if Jia Min didn't make any achievements in Bukui, he will have the final say in the mansion when he comes back in the future.Judging from this year's awards, Jia Min has completely taken power in the mansion.

From this point alone, it is much better than Baoyu.

There is always a chance to repair the relationship. This year, I made a lot of money in the business I invested in. Then, this business is the idea of ​​Fourth Brother Min. It is still necessary to treat him to a drink and thank him. Even if others find out, Will not say anything.

Brother Min and Baoyu didn't deal with each other, so Baoyu and the others were not invited.Then invite the second brother Lian together, not only to thank the fourth brother Min, but also to bid farewell for them.

After having a drink at home, I will chat with Fourth Brother Min at that time, talk about the past, and let him know that my own heart is different from that of my mother.He will have no more misunderstandings.

Thinking of this, Baochai's heart became much brighter.So I came to Rongxi Hall early in the morning.

She wants to inquire about the arrangements in the mansion, and then choose a date to treat Fourth Brother Min to a drink.

As usual, the female relatives would chat here for a while after paying their respects to the old lady. When Baochai arrived, most of them were there.

"Brother Feng, have you made arrangements for the farewell party for Brother Ming and the others?"

"Don't worry, old ancestor, I know it well, and it will be arranged on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month."

"Naturally, I'm at ease when you do things. I gave you an award last year. If you don't handle things well, I'll ask Brother Min to give you the best prodigal award this year."

When the old lady said this, everyone burst into laughter.

"Grandfather, don't mention the Best Prodigal Award. That day, I almost scared me to death."

Baoyu still has lingering fears when he thinks of the day when the award was presented.

"It's good to scare you, or to tell you to study hard in the future. Tell me, Min's best prodigal award is more effective than your old man's board."

Everyone was chatting, and Lai Da came with a man in military uniform.

"Old Ancestor, this is from the barracks of Yeduju, and it was sent by Master Min to report."

"Oh, brother Ming sent a message, what's the matter, let's talk."

"Greetings to the ancestors, I am Zhang Decai from the left-behind squad of the Yeduju Mansion Corps. Our Min Chief asked me to inform the mansion that they have already dispatched to Bu Kui, and told the family not to worry about it."

"Oh, it's started. What? You mean Brother Ming and the others have already started? Gone?"

"Yes, I left at the beginning of Xushi last night. I'm afraid I have already left Tongzhou and arrived at the border of Tianjinwei. I'm here to let you know, I'm leaving now, and I have to report to someone else's house."

The room suddenly fell silent.

When Zhang Decai left, no one had any idea, and even forgot to give the reward.

With a buzzing sound, Baochai's brain seemed to grow several times bigger all of a sudden.

Brother Min, are you leaving?Just leave?I still want to treat him to a drink. Is there anything else I want to say to him?

After leaving this time, I don't know how many years it will take to come back. Don't you always misunderstand me?
Brother Min, why are you so cruel, you don't even want to give me a chance to explain?

Although the people in the house knew that Jia Min was going to leave, they were still surprised that they left just like that today.

Just left so quietly?

"Oh, let's go, I'm a little tired too."

The old lady waved her hand, and everyone left without a word.

Bao Yuxing hurried into Daiyu's room, where Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun and Shi Xiangyun were all there.

"Sisters, I have some good news for you. Fourth Min is gone, and finally gone, haha, finally gone this time."

"What left and stayed, you are talking nonsense again."

Daiyu still doesn't understand what's going on.

"I mean, the Fourth Min has gone to Pukui. Just now, someone from the barracks came to report that the Fourth Min left for battle last night, and now he has reached the boundary of Tianjin Wei."

"Happy yourselves for a while, I want to tell Brother Xue the good news, go around Third Brother and Brother Rong."

Baoyu said, as if his feet didn't touch the ground, he walked away in a hurry.

Daiyu suddenly felt a sudden blow to her heart, and immediately felt extremely depressed.After panting several times, he managed to catch his breath.

Is Brother Min gone?Why did you just leave like this?Will we see you again in the future?Should I discuss poetry with him?Why did he seem to have lost his support when he left?

With the support of the mandarin ducks, Jia's mother returned to her upper room.

"Yuanyang, why do you think Brother Ming left without even saying hello? The mansion didn't offend him."

"Of course the mansion didn't offend him. Didn't the messenger say that he didn't want to disturb everyone's New Year, so he left quietly. Not only our family, but other families don't know about it either."

"In this way, I am relieved. Now that Brother Min is gone, why do I feel a little empty in my heart? In the past, if there was any trouble in the mansion, I would always look for Brother Min. If something happens this time, Who should I go to?"

"It's just that Fourth Master Min is gone. Aren't the other masters still here?"

"Other masters? Alas..."

Mother Jia wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it.

Yuanyang waited for the ancestor to lie down, and came to the door, not only thinking of Ping'er and Qingwen.

Ping'er and Qingwen also went with Fourth Master Min.Fourth Master Min gave me a chief maid, but it's not as good as Xiang Ping'er and Qingwen.They are probably very happy to be able to follow Fourth Master Min, right?
It's just that once Fourth Master Min leaves this time, if there is any major event in this mansion, I really don't know how to deal with it.
