The Founding of the Red Chamber

When Xia Sanlang returned home, he naturally went through a discussion about whether to take the Chunwei exam next year. Xia Sanlang is now a fifth-rank official, not to mention that he is a military officer, and he is not as eager for the fame of Jinshi as before.What's more, since the barbarian thieves entered the pass to besiege the city last time, the Jinzhong army has also been attrition, and after the previous lessons, the military affairs are now busier.

He thought about it, but really couldn't spare the time.

It was Xu Shangfei who said to him, "It's impossible to give you a leave of absence, you just read the book on weekdays, and in the spring of next year, I will let you go back to the imperial capital Chunwei, and go back to work after the exam."

Xia Sanlang thought for a while and agreed.

His Majesty Xu Shangfei will also have to have a lot of official duties to be approved by the Ministry of War, such as silver and rations, which have always been the bulk of the year.In the past, Guan Tingyu was Minister of the Ministry of War, the Lin family and the Guan family had a good relationship, and Xu Shangshu's military affairs have always been smooth.Now that the eldest brother-in-law has been changed to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, it will naturally go smoothly.After finishing his official duties, Xu Shangfei thought about his wife and children at home, so he submitted a letter, bid farewell to His Majesty, and his brother-in-law, and went back to Jinzhong.

Once he left, Xia Sanlang would naturally go back with him.

The Lin family prepared a lot of things for Xu Shangfei to bring to Lin Chun, and Lin Jing also prepared a separate one.

Xia Sanlang left in a hurry, so he couldn't celebrate his sister's birthday together.Xia Yunchu was always reasonable, and said, "Third brother, you are on official business, so there is nothing you can do."

Xia Sanlang went to the shop to buy a pair of hairpins for his younger sister, but just in time for Lin Jing to come over to give her a birthday gift, Lin Jing opened the gift box, and Xia Sanlang didn't feel the nerve to give it to his younger sister in person, but privately gave it to his mother when Lin Jing opened the gift box. , said, "I bought this for Yunchu. I wanted to give it to him yesterday, but Ah Jing came here. His box of treasures is even better than mine. Mother, you can give it to Yunchu when the time comes." He also said about Lin Jing, "Does the Lin family know about Ah Jing's gift to Yunchu?"

Mrs. Xia said, "Ah Jing said this is his private room."

"He's a little guy, why do he have so many private houses?"

Mrs. Xia said, "Listen to Yunchu, when Ah Jing came out of the palace, the queen mother gave him a lot of property. Ah Jing, honestly, I have already thought about it. He gave all these things to Yun." From the beginning, it will be natural to ask Yunchu to marry him as a dowry in the future."

Xia Sanlang said, "Compared to Ah Jing, why do I look like a poor ghost?"

Mrs. Xia laughed, "What is this called? You have your own mind. Besides, your mind doesn't look at things."

Xia Sanlang also just casually said that Lin Jing was kind to his sister, Xia Sanlang was too late to be happy, Xia Sanlang said, "Don't tell me, my father always looks old-fashioned in the daytime, this marriage for my sister is really good. "It doesn't matter how rich the Lin family is, the key is that Lin Jing is willing to care about his sister.

Mrs. Xia laughed, "Although what you said is true, if your father hears it, he will be punished again."

"How dare I say it in front of my father."

"Why don't you dare to say it." Xia Shangshu walked in, Xia Sanlang was caught, and quickly found an excuse to escape.Xia Shangshu sighed straight away, "Such an adult is not in good shape."

Originally, Xia Shangshu wanted to take advantage of his son's return home and hurry up to finalize the marriage, but in the end, he stayed for three and a half days, how could he discuss the marriage.However, next year's son Chunwei, Xia Shangshu has high expectations for the third son, thinking that after his son next year's Chunwei, he will be on the list, and it will not be too late to discuss marriage.

After Xu Shangfei and Xia Sanlang left, Lin Jing came over to celebrate his fiancée's 14th birthday.

Lin Jing said to his fiancée, "Next year you will be fifteen, which is the year of Jiji. I have a mutton fat jade hairpin that my aunt gave me. That hairpin was passed down from my grandmother to my aunt, and my aunt gave it to me. Said that it will be used by you Jiji in the future. When you Jiji, use that hairpin."

Xia Yunchu said, "Since it was bestowed by the elders, it should be used."

Lin Jing also whispered, "My brother said, we'll get married when I'm sixteen."

Xia Yunchu blushed at Lin Jing's unobtrusive words, and said to him, "The older you are, the less ashamed you are, and you can say anything."

"What's the matter, it will make you happy to say it."

Xia Yunchu twisted the handkerchief and said shamefully, "Why am I so happy?"

"You will be able to marry me in three years, and I'm not happy."

Xia Yunchu laughed and spat, "The more cheeky you are, the more you should be happy."

"Yes, I am very happy."

Xia Yunchu couldn't help being amused.

Now that she is getting older, she has fewer jumps when she was young, and she has more of a girl's gentleness and tranquility.As a needleworker on weekdays, I would never forget to make a purse for Lin Jing and embroider a handkerchief, alas, Lin Jing is so beautiful.Once you get something from your fiancée, everyone in the world will know if you want to show off.

After congratulating Xia Yunchu Fangchen, General Guan returned to court.

Regardless of Guan Tingyu's status or status, he returned to the court and raised his orders.

Even the new king, Chen Qibao, attached great importance to this great general who had made great military exploits. Lin Jing didn't know the specific circumstances of the meeting between the monarch and his ministers. However, according to Guan Xiaoer, General Guan saw On the same day, Xinjun left him for two meals. Chen Tingyu arrived in the morning and didn't go home, so he advanced to the palace to report on his duties.At noon, Chen Qibao gave me a meal.After lunch, he continued to talk about the affairs of the Muzhou Mansion until the evening, when Chen Qibao gave him dinner again.After dinner, Fang ordered General Guan to return to his residence.

From these two imperial meals, it can be seen that Chen Qibao attaches great importance to this great general.

This kind of attention made the Kong family a little uneasy.

Kong Guogong was very worried that General Guan would settle old accounts after he gained power.

However, Chen Qibao didn't intend to let Guan Tingyu stay in the imperial capital for a long time. The reconstruction of Muzhou's military equipment was not a small matter, let alone an easy one. Chen Qibao couldn't rest assured that it was not for a veteran like Tingyu.

However, Chen Qibao shocked the entire court. This time, when Guan Tingyu returned to the Muzhou Mansion after completing his work report, Guan Tingyu ordered Guan Tingyu to take all his wives and children who had stayed in the imperial capital with him.Chen Qibao said, "The loyal ministers of the four dynasties of the general, if I can't trust the general, who else can I trust?": Let Guan Tingyu just take his wife and children with him to the post.

Guan Tingyu's gratitude, even if Lin Jing hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could only see the joy on Guan Xiaoer's face when he came over and told him that he would follow his father to Muzhou Mansion.

Lin Jing felt that Xinjun did this very cleverly.

Moreover, the Guan family would be so grateful only for Xinjun to do this.

Back then, the Empress Dowager Kong did not dare to take this risk even though she knew Guan Tingyu was loyal.What's more, even if the Queen Mother Kong ordered the Guan family to go to Muzhou Mansion together, the Guan family might not be as grateful as they are now.Because, the chief culprit who made Guan Tingyu leave the Muzhou Mansion was the Kong family.

Even an old guy like Xie Guogong has to say, "Truly look like a wise king!"

The new emperor has such a weather, and the whole dynasty is happy to see it.

However, the Mingrui image of the new king had just been erected, but at the critical moment, he was completely defeated by Duke Xiangyang.In the summer of this year, a marriage robbery incident recorded in history occurred.

In fact, if it is just an ordinary robbery marriage, it is not enough to be recorded in the annals of history. After all, such things happen in every dynasty.However, the reason why this matter was specialized in the history books is because it directly led to Jing'an Hou Lin Jing's escape from the imperial capital.As for Jing'an Hou Lin Jing, the powerful official who assisted the Taizu of the new dynasty in founding the country, the records in the history books are:

Taizu Zeng Yun said: I will win Jing'an first, and then I will win the world.

Everything, since the first year of □□ kicked off.

□□, is the reign name of the new king, Chen Qibao.

□□In the first year, Lin Jing had just sent away Zhuma Guan Xiaoer's family, and the two were very reluctant to leave. Lin Jing sent Guan Xiaoer away for ten miles, and they agreed to write letters to each other every month. Then, Fang Reluctantly watching Guan Xiaoer leave with his family.

After Guan Xiaoer left, Lin Jing was depressed for several days.

Cui Jinran often came to look for Lin Jing, seeing him like this, advised him, "Look at you, you know that Guan Xiaoer is gone, but those who don't know think your lover is gone."

"Fart! Return your lover!" Lin Jing said, "It's not just Guan Xiaoer, if one day you suddenly leave, I won't be used to it either."

Cui Jinran was also Lin Jing's childhood friend. Speaking of which, Cui Jinran often went to the palace to play with Lin Jing when he was young.The two were also classmates in the government school, and they always talked about it.Just as he was talking, the Yue family sent someone to look for Lin Jing. Seeing that the maid looked nervous, Lin Jing asked, "What's the matter, she looks like this, but what's the matter?"

Maid Fu'er is the eldest maid next to the Yue family, and said first, "Fourth Master, don't worry, Madam asked me to come over and invite you to come over. Someone from the Xia family came and said that something happened to Miss Xia."

Lin Jing didn't care about greeting Cui Jinran, and hurriedly got up and left.

It was Xia Jiawulang who came over, Xia Wulang's eye circles were swollen, Yue Shi was wiping away tears, seeing Lin Jing coming, Yue Shi choked up and said, "No one would have thought of this, Fourth Uncle, please don't be angry."

"What's wrong?" Lin Jing asked.

No one spoke, Lin Jing became anxious and asked, "What happened?"

Before Xia Wulang could speak, tears rolled down his face.Xia Wulang said this with tears in his eyes. Xia Yunchu went to Kong’s house to attend the Kong’s girl’s poetry meeting. When he came back, his car was robbed. When his servants ran home to report the letter, Xia’s family went to look for it, and found out that it was the work of the Duke of Xiangyang. He said that he fell in love with Xia Yunchu and wanted to marry Xia Yunchu as a sequel.

When Lin Jing heard this, he was so angry that he swept out a set of tea sets on the table. With a loud bang, the whole mahogany tea table was turned over.Lin Jing was so furious that Yue Shi and Xia Wulang got up in a hurry, neither of them dared to say a word.Lin Jing took a deep breath and asked, "How is sister Xia?"

Xia Wulang shook his head and cried, "My sister said, I'm no longer worthy of you, Brother Ajing."

Lin Jing went to Xia's house to see Xia Yunchu the first time, the tears in Mrs. Xia's eyes never stopped, and Xia Shangshu also came back from the yamen.Lin Jing originally wanted to go and see Xia Yunchu, but Xia Yunchu was in the room and no one was there.Lin Jing and Xia Shangshu said, "I went back to my hometown last year. I saw Qufu, my hometown, with beautiful scenery and romantic people. It's a wonderful place. Yunchu and I got married immediately. After we got married, we went to Qufu."

The corners of Xia Shangshu's lips trembled slightly, and he said, "Ah Jing, you are a kind person, but, my family, my family..."

"Could it be possible to ask Sister Xia to really go and make a sequel to Duke Xiangyang!"

"Even if I risk my life, I can't let Yunchu suffer such an insult!"

Lin Jing breathed a sigh of relief, "Naturally, a man has three wives and four concubines, and chastity is only a confinement specially set up for women. When it comes to chastity, which man has chastity again. I don't care about it. First get married, we Go back to my hometown to live for a few days, leave this imperial capital, and after a few years, when we have a child, sister Xia will be able to think about it."

Mrs. Xia burst into tears.
