The Founding of the Red Chamber

Tu Xiaosan didn't like Guan Xiaoer any more, Guan Xiaoer still arrived in Jingzhou early after the New Year.Of course, Guan Xiaoer was just a lieutenant next to his father Guan Tingyu, and Guan Tingyu was the General Guan who was respectfully treated by Guan Waijun.

In terms of age, Guan Tingyu was only past his forties, because he became famous very early, so, in his resemblance, he seemed to be of a certain age, but in fact he was in his prime.Otherwise, Chen Qibao probably wouldn't have sent Guan Tingyu here.

Guan Tingyu is solemn, but his speech is not rigid. He brought another [-] imperial troops this time.Guan Tingyu said with a smile, "Your Majesty ordered me to be the General Who Conquers the South. If it weren't for you, Ah Jing, I wouldn't dare to accept this job."

Lin Jing smiled, "You are welcome, General. According to the prestige of the General, you must be the General Zhengnan."

"That's not the case." Guan Tingyu said, "I was appointed under the old national army when I was young. Even stranger than the Imperial Capital Army. However, it's easy to talk about you, and I know your character well.

If someone else said this, Lin Jing would just laugh it off, but since Guan Tingyu said it, even Lin Jing felt a little proud.Lin Jing said, "How dare you be, in front of the general, you can't stand up to the juniors, and you still need the guidance of the general."

Guan Tingyu said, "The younger generation in the imperial capital has never been more outstanding than you."

Lin Jing is humble again and again, full of the demeanor of everyone's children.

First met the generals of the Guan Wai Army, and at the same time, the Guan Wai Army also met the generals brought by Guan Tingyu.Anyway, apart from Guan Tingyu and Guan Xiaoer, as well as Guan Tingyu's personal guards, the rest are generals of the Imperial Capital Army.With this configuration, Lin Jing had to say that thanks to Guan Tingyu, otherwise Lin Jing would not have dared to go south to fight.

They are all people in the officialdom, so naturally they put public affairs first and then private affairs.

After the dust-cleaning wine that day, everyone talked about their personal friendship.

Guan Xiaoer is now a manly man, laughing at Lin Jing, "Lin Xiaosi, you are still such a kitten."

Lin Jing punched him and said, "Be careful, I'm an older official than you now, if you want to disrespect me, drag me out to beat me immediately." Guan Xiaoer laughed loudly, put his arms around Lin Jing's shoulders, Said, "Lin Xiaosi, I haven't heard from you for so many years, I miss you, do you miss me?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, why are you so nasty, a man, what do you want, men pay attention to drinking in big bowls, and eating meat, how can you be a mother-in-law." Lin Jing said.

"You're so free and easy." Guan Xiaoer followed Lin Jing to Lin Jing's General's Mansion, and said, "When I heard that something happened to you in the imperial capital, I thought, you must come to Muzhou Mansion to look for me, I'll wait You haven't seen you for several months, and I thought you went to Jinzhong General Xu. When a messenger returned to the imperial capital to deliver a letter, I specially asked him to bring a letter to Jinzhong. Who knew, you were not in Jinzhong either. At that time I I just thought, what mouse hole did you hide in, and I never thought of you going outside the pass. The emperor was surrounded by Duan Tianyu the year before last, so we knew you were outside the pass. Lin Xiaosi, you are not worthless all these years Career, why don't you send me a letter, you have no conscience, you won't forget me long ago, right?"

"What nonsense, I'm going to forget you, and pretend not to recognize you today." Lin Jing poured two cups of tea, one for Guan Xiaoer, "When I left the imperial capital, I wanted to go to your place. I'll go to your place , or go to the eldest brother-in-law, you can't wrong me, but these two places are not suitable for me to do a career, I have thought about it, and I will go outside the customs. You say, I am outside the customs, and I can't use my real name. Surname, if I reveal my identity, the imperial court will allow me to become a genuine second grade."

Guan Xiaoer is not a long-winded person, he said with a smile, "Don't say it, I thought in the past, you will rely on the shadow of your family in the future, or donate an official or something. I don't think so, you are not only the biggest official, but also the little one." With arms and legs, you can actually lead soldiers to fight. Lin Xiaosi, you are really amazing!"

"That's it!" Lin Jing said, "What kind of vision did you have at first? Am I only worthy of being a shadow official or a donated official! I said that I came from a dignified scholar, from civil to military, commonly known as both civil and military."

"I'm a scholar whose rank is higher than yours." Guan Xiaoer joked, "I'm so cheeky when I boast, why would I say 'the general is too honorable, the general is too modest, I dare not be a general' in front of my father."

"You also know that I am in front of your father." Lin Jing said, "Speaking of which, the general is still with that iron face. I haven't seen him in these years, and he hasn't aged at all."

Guan Xiaoer said, "You don't know, my father only has this kind of appearance. When he was young, a matchmaker proposed marriage to my grandmother. When my grandmother saw my father, she thought that my father was marrying a second son, and said that my father was 30 years old. How dare someone who is only [-] years old come here to propose marriage. I found out later that my father was only eighteen at that time, and he already looked like a thirty-year-old."

Lin Jing laughed out loud, and Guan Xiaoer also laughed, "So, I don't look old now, it's still the same. My elder brother looks like my father, and I look more like my uncle. My uncle is more handsome. "

Lin Jing asked Guan Xiaoer, "I heard that you gave birth to several sons."

"No more, no more, just three." Guan Xiaoer didn't want to inquire about Lin Jing's marriage. After all, Lin Jing killed His Majesty's father in a fit of anger because of Miss Xia. Guan Xiaoer advised Lin Jing, "It's been all these years, you are a human being, you are so affectionate and sexual, you are not sorry for sister Xia. Let go when you let go."

Lin Jing said, "I just feel that this is the way it is in this life."

"Then why are you working so hard to be an official?"

"I didn't work hard, I just did it casually, and I was promoted."

The sixth-rank deputy general Guan Xiaoer said, "Lin Xiaosi, you can also teach me to do whatever I want." He really wants to be promoted, okay~

Lin Jing smiled, "If you want to get promoted, you can't follow General Guan. If you follow him, how can you get promoted?"

"I'm really telling you, my father's temperament is really the blue sky in the blue sky. If someone else has my qualifications, he will be at the fourth rank in the morning, and I am still at the sixth rank." Guan Xiaoer sighed.

Lin Jing said, "Isn't this an opportunity now? I was only a third-rank official in the past, but I have accumulated to the second rank because of my military exploits. We generals, all rely on fighting to get promoted. Otherwise, those who are well-behaved will have to be promoted to whatever year and month."

"Don't talk about such big words. General Lu died in battle. If you want to be promoted, let's talk about saving your life first." Guan Xiaoer and Lin Jing inquired, "Before coming to Jingzhou, I will meet you in the imperial capital with my father. There are different opinions about the general, some say he died in battle, some say he died of illness. What's going on?"

"What did the court say?"

"The imperial court gave General Lu the posthumous title of Zhonglie. He has two sons and one grandson, and he will be rewarded generously after his death."

Lin Jing snorted softly, picked up a piece of plum ginger, and briefly talked about General Lu with Guan Xiaoer. Lin Jing said, "Accordingly, I shouldn't say this. We are not outsiders. If it wasn't for the imperial decree, General Lu His injury was stabilized. I also offended the court because of this, if General Guan hadn’t come, I really don’t know how to fight the battle going south.”

"What do you say?"

"Last year's battle was difficult. We led troops from Jingnan to the south by boat. After crossing the river, we went all the way east along the river to Lin'an Mansion. Lin'an is the old nest of King Jinling, and we couldn't take it for a long time. Moreover, we didn't see each other all the way. Duan Tianyu's main force, at that time we suspected that the Imperial Capital Army should have encountered Duan Tianyu. There was no news from the Imperial Capital Army, and they couldn't attack here. Duan Tianyu was sent a mile and a mile away. Duan Tianyu was defeated and left. The two generals under General Lu, Zhao Yong and Zhao Yi, were both killed. General Lu himself was seriously injured. Seven or eight. The main force led by Duan Tianyu was also hit hard. The rebels who fled back at the beginning were only about [-] to [-]. Our Guanwai army also suffered serious losses. The battle has reached this point. Defeat. If it was a smooth one, it would be natural to report the victory to the court, but General Lu is loyal, and he is not willing to pretend to be whitewashed in the memorial." Lin Jing sighed, "Actually, we originally occupied Jingxiang, and General Lu occupied If there is no war in the two Huaihe Rivers, as long as the river bank is blocked, Jiangnan will naturally decline within three or four years. But the imperial court was eager to fight this battle. After the war, it was so harsh. gone."

Speaking of General Lu, Guan Xiaoer was also quite moved by the end of a generation of famous generals, and said, "In the imperial capital, I heard about Li Qin's envoy, and they all said you did it. Does it have anything to do with you?" ?”

Lin Jing almost didn't push Guan Xiaoer out, Guan Xiaoer hurriedly said, "I'm just asking casually. We know each other well, so I'll just say it straight. You don't know, this man surnamed Li has some in-laws with Duke Kong's mansion or something, he The mother-in-law went to the gate of the yamen to make a fuss, and made such a fuss that the governor of the imperial capital wanted to resign." Guan Xiaoer laughed.

Lin Jing said, "You didn't see what kind of face that dog was when he delivered the decree. I couldn't hold back for a while, and gave him a few blows. As a result, this dog didn't return to the imperial capital, and he didn't know where he went. Hey, this is really true. , Everyone said that I harmed him. If I want to harm him, I will stop beating him first."

Guan Xiaoer almost burst out laughing, Guan Xiaoer said, "Don't tell me, if I don't know the truth, I can think you did it."

Lin Jing glared at him, Guan Xiaoer quickly changed his words, "You said no, of course not. When you kill people, you don't kill them openly and aboveboard. I see, this thing doesn't look like you did it."

Guan Xiaoer smiled again, and patted Lin Jing on the shoulder, "I used to think that you should be a civil servant, but Lin Xiaosi, a military officer is more suitable for you."

Lin Jing ignored Guan Xiaoer's jokes at all, and Guan Xiaoer himself didn't care about Li Qin's envoy.People in the imperial capital thought it was a big deal if Li Qinchao didn't return to the emperor. Guan Xiaoer and his father were in the Muzhou mansion, and many people died. die.

Guan Xiaoer felt that what Lin Xiaosi did was interesting.Guan Xiaoer and Lin Jing couldn't finish talking, they also ate dinner together, after dinner, Guan Xiaoer was very interested in talking at night by candlelight.Then, Tu Xiaosan came in with a dark face, pretending to be thoughtful and appropriate, "I ordered someone to tidy up the lieutenant's house. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Ah Jing's body has just recovered, and he will be tired if he is tired." .”

Guan Xiaoer said, "I'll just sleep with Lin Xiaosi."

Tu Xiaosan used to put on a decent face, but now he can't put it on any longer. His whole face instantly turned black into a pot, and then, with a pot face, he said to Guan Xiaoer, "That's not going to work. All these years, I have been I slept with Ah Jing." Then, in this sentence, he especially emphasized the words "I, both, sleep together".

Guan Xiaoer was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Jing.Lin Jing actually wanted to talk to Guan Xiaoer at night, but seeing the black face of the third brother Tu Xiao, Lin Jing thought that this person was very sloppy recently, so he said to Guan Xiaoer, "I don't feel light at night, you Snoring can shake the beams down, so forget it?"

Guan Xiaoer looked at Tu Xiaosan, Lin Jing smiled, "Third brother doesn't snore."

Tu Xiaosan is very proud of this.

Guan Xiaoer had no choice but to go to bed by himself, and was full of words and planned to talk to Lin Xiaosi tomorrow.However, Guan Xiaoer was very skeptical, Lin Xiaosi didn't marry a wife these years, and was always with such a black-faced man, wouldn't it be a broken sleeve?

The author has something to say:

Guan Xiaoer: Do you know why this deputy general is ranked second?Because this deputy general is sharp ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! ! ! ! ! !
