The Founding of the Red Chamber

Although Lin Jing was always in a bad mood, this year was still quite lively.Without him, he rushed to help the imperial capital last year, and those who followed him all had military exploits. Not only Tu Xiaosan's subordinates benefited, but also many soldiers in Hanzhou City were promoted and made a fortune.

Although Lin Jing was worried about going south next year to wipe out the rebels, he would not make everyone lose face. This year was a lively one.The New Year's money distributed to the subordinates was quite generous, even ordinary soldiers were paid two months more military pay, and everyone had a good year.

On the fifth day of the new year, the third student came over and ate dumplings at Lin Jing. Lin Jing said the next day, "The letter from the imperial capital arrived a few years ago. I didn't tell you. I'm afraid you won't have a good year. The general counter-insurgency The person selected is Lu Qing, the commander of the imperial guards, the commander-in-chief, and Xie Shaoqing, the servant of Kong, as the supervisor, and the imperial decree will arrive in a few days."

Tu Xiaosan was a little disappointed, not only with the court, but more with His Majesty.Originally, what Brother Ah Jing said was true, and Tu Xiaosan believed in the fact that His Majesty and Brother Ah Jing did not deal with each other. After all, some people are born at odds.However, it's not that there is any life-and-death enmity, and now it's the rebels, so shouldn't those personal matters be put aside for the time being.

Why are you so narrow-minded, but also the king of a country?

Tu Xiaosan slandered Jinshang heartily once, but now he doesn't feel how sincerely Jinshang treats him.Tu Xiaosan said, "Ah Jing, why don't you go with me, we must have someone in charge here. This is our foundation."

Lin Jingdao, "I will keep Chen An in Hanzhou City, he has been with me, and he can handle the affairs of Hanzhou City. Leave the affairs of Jinzhou City to Xiao Niuzi, Shi Silang and Wang Dujun. Fu stay, you take fortune."

Tu Xiaosan still wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Lin Jing said, "Don't worry, we are going to fight. If it's just to die, would I go? I just said something to make you cautious, maybe it really scared you. .”

Tu Xiaosan said, "I can be scared, but I am worried about you. You have never been to the south during this long journey, and I am worried about your health."

"There are no unbearable sufferings, only unbearable blessings." Lin Jing said, "Because I have never been there, I went to see it. I don't believe it, that Duan Tianyu is more powerful than the two of us combined!" Lin Jing said Since then, she has always been self-confident to the point of conceit, although she was angry at the fact that Xiaosan jumped into the pit at first.But there was no room for maneuver, Lin Jing was not afraid of Duan Tianyu either.

Tu Xiaosan thought, yes, Brother Ah Jing is extremely intelligent, and his military strength is also first-class. He and Brother Ah Jing are together, and he has both civil and military skills!

Could it be that the two of them are no match for Duan Tianyu!

This is a war, not a one-on-one duel.

Thinking about it this way, Tu Xiaosan became very confident!

The two of them checked again the people who were going to take them to the south. Just after the eighth day of the eighth day, Xu Nian arrived on the tenth day, and brought a letter from his father to his uncle.Xu Nian also asked my uncle, "Uncle, what did you write to my father a few years ago? He has been talking about you for a few days."

Lin Jing laughed loudly, and said narrowly, "If I can make my eldest brother-in-law talk about it, I won't roll my eyes at this letter."

Xu Nian: ...

Lin Jing read Xu Shangfei's letter, and said to Xu Nian, "Go and get acquainted with the army first." Send Xu Nian to the army.

The Chief Manager came to ask, "May the nephew's salute be arranged in Chunying Courtyard?"

Lin Jing said, "He doesn't live here, let him go to the army."

Lin Ping, the chief manager, was brought by Lin Jing from the Duke's mansion. He was originally Lin Jing's servant. Later, Lin Jing slaughtered Xiangyang Duke's family, and this servant followed him to Hanzhou City. Now he is the chief manager of a mansion.Lin Pingdao, "Oh, it's so hard in the army, it's hard to cover, it's hard to live, how can my nephew bear it?"

"There's nothing you can't stand it. If you can't take it, tell him to go back to Langya." Lin Jing waved his hand, but Lin Ping couldn't persuade him, knowing that his master always said the same thing, so he had to arrange for Xu Nian to go to the barracks.

Xu Nian didn't notice anything, his father was very strict with him, even though he was the only son in the family, he was not spoiled at all since he was a child.Even when he was in Jinzhong, sometimes he was on duty and lived in the camp.Lin Ping was also afraid that Xu Nian might misunderstand his master, so he said good things for his master, "Master said, in the army, you can quickly get to know the soldiers under your command, so let Master Nian stay in the army for now." Rest." Although Young Master Nian is in the army, Lin Ping has brought good things for Young Master Nian, and the brocade tents and embroidered couch are all prepared according to Lin Jing's standards.In addition, there are two submissive and capable maidservants serving her.

Xu Nian saw that the sleeping utensils were better, even though they were more delicate than the ones used at home, and knew that this was the style of my uncle.It's just that the maid absolutely doesn't need it.Xu Nian said, "Brother Aping, you must have brought this maid. How could my uncle put a maid in the army?"

Lin Ping smiled, "It's still a girl who is careful in daily life."

"No, no, there can't be women in the army. Brother Aping, you can bring them back, I'll bring a servant to serve."

Seeing that Xu Nian would not accept him, Lin Ping had no choice but to take him back, and said to Lin Jing, "Let's read the young master, you can't be more serious."

"That's it, it doesn't matter whose nephew it is!" Lin Jing felt that Ah Nian resembled him very much.Lin Jing also said with a scientific basis, "My nephew is like an uncle."

The imperial edict of the imperial court arrived after the Shangyuan Festival, ordering the Guanwai army to set off twenty times and go to the imperial capital. After that, the army went south together.

Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan had already been mentally prepared, and the troops who were going south were also ready. After receiving the imperial edict, everyone prepared one or two, and they were going south, first to the imperial capital, then to Huguang, to wipe out the rebels.

Lin Jing took his subordinates with him, and Tu Xiaosan's subordinates also took inventory. He took Fa Cai and a few brothers who had been with him from Jinling, and Tu Xiaosi, Xiao Niuzi, and You Blessed stayed behind. The foundation of Jinzhou City.When Tu Xiaosan waited for Lin Jing to bring the army to Jinzhou City, he sat in the car with Lin Jing and lived with Lin Jing.

Xu Nian didn't pay attention at first, but later felt that something was wrong, he was his uncle's nephew, and he hadn't eaten and rested with his uncle yet.However, leading the troops this time, Xu Nian was always with the soldiers.Originally, he had only been here for a short time, but because of his easy-going temperament and strong military quality, he joined the group.Now it's not easy to get together with his uncle for everything, but seeing Tu Xiaosan always going in and out with his uncle, Xu Nian also felt weird.It's not someone else, but his uncle has his own rules about eating and living. Can ordinary people adapt to his uncle's rules?

Seeing Tu Xiaosan like this, it was not the first day he was with his uncle.

Xu Nian is a careful person, so he reminded Tu Xiaosan in private, "My uncle, in summer, he is not afraid of heat, but cold. When it's cold today, his hands and feet are cold. In fact, my uncle rarely eats delicacies from mountains and seas, and ordinary meals are enough. It’s just that you have to do it carefully. It’s not picky. He has a weak stomach, he can’t cook well, and he can’t digest it after eating. My brother-in-law also wears simple clothes. He has never had the luxury of outsiders. Look at him in recent years. Not much, and he doesn't like to wear those silks and satins, just fine cotton. My uncle..."

Then, Xu Nian talked to Tu Xiaosan about "my uncle" for a long time... At night, when Tu Xiaosan warmed Lin Jing's bed, Tu Xiaosan sighed, "Our nephew is really sensible."

"That's right. Anian has also been guided by me since she was a child." Lin Jing said with emotion, "In a blink of an eye, Anian is also a father. He is an adult."

Tu Xiaosan felt goose bumps all over his body when he heard Lin Jing's old-fashioned tone.

Then, I heard Lin Jing say, "I'm already a grandfather."

The corners of Tu Xiaosan's lips twitched, and he said, "You're just older, aren't you two months younger than Anian?"

"He's a generation away from me in his heart!" Lin Jing completely looked like an elder.

In fact, Lin Jing also felt in his heart that this child, Anian, was sensible and gave him a good face.Especially what happened to Tu Xiaosan made Lin Jing feel that he really taught his nephew well!

This matter, it has nothing to do with Tu Xiaosan, it has nothing to do with Tu Xiaosi.

Originally, Tu Xiaosan did not take Tu Xiaosi with him to go out on the expedition, but when he set up camp that day, a guard came to report that the fourth general had followed him in a cart transporting grain and grass.Tu Xiaosan was so angry right now, he wanted to beat Tu Xiaosi and send him back, because Tu Xiaosi was really taught by his brother in terms of stubbornness.He straightened his neck and said, "Even if you send me back, I'll find an opportunity to sneak out to find you. Why don't you ask me to go, I want Yun!"

Tu Xiaosan was really dizzy from Tu Xiaosi's anger, so Lin Jing said, "Okay, you go to eat, don't stand in your brother's eyes here."

As soon as Tu Xiaosi heard this, he knew that Lin Jing was helping him to persuade his brother, so he slipped away immediately.

Lin Jing said to Tu Xiaosan, "It's better to tell him to follow after you go back and run around."

Tu Xiaosan said angrily, "Not progressing at all!" Hearing these words, he scolded Tu Xiaosi.

Tu Xiaosan got angry once, thinking of Xu Nian, who is promising and filial, and looking at his younger brother, it is like a sky and an earth.For this reason, Tu Xiaosan asked Lin Jingyi about the methods of teaching children.The main reason is that because Xu Nian has a longer face, Lin Jing boasted [-] times in the disciple Xiaosan, saying that Xu Nian is so promising, it is entirely the result of being taught by him when he was a child.Completely, excluding other people's parents.

Because Tu Xiaosan has always been infatuated with Brother Ah Jing's self-confidence, he actually felt that Brother Ah Jing's bragging words were very reasonable, so Tu Xiaosan asked privately about teaching children.As soon as Lin Jing heard it, he immediately put on airs with a terrible face, Fang pulled his voice, and said, "Well, let's talk about it!"
