The Founding of the Red Chamber

Xu Shangfei received a safety talisman, first he sent the concierge to a shop in the most remote northwest border town to do business, after thinking about it for a long time, he told his wife about it.Lin Chun was overjoyed, "Master, you mean, we, Anian, are still there?"

Xu Shangfei said, "If it wasn't for Anian, there would be nothing else at home."

Lin Chun straightly recited the Buddha's name, bursting into tears, and murmured, "I knew that we, Anian, would be safe and sound." Then he said, "I don't know what happened to Ah Jing? That child, since he was a child, where did he eat a little? Suffering, it must be more delicate than Anian growing up."

"Oh, I said why are you so confused." Xu Shangfei said softly, "According to our Anian's temperament, if he is safe, he must go home. Now that he hasn't come back, who must have caught him? Except Ah Nian Jing, who else can there be?"

Lin Chun was puzzled, "Then why didn't the children come back? In the past few years, the family has less to worry about them? I burn incense every year, make offerings every month, eat fast and chant Buddha, and pray to the Bodhisattva for protection."

"Okay, don't talk about it, you can't let go of it for a day, talk about it, and I'm afraid you will be afraid?"

"I'm worried if you don't tell me." Lin Chun asked, "Since the children are alive, why don't they come back?"

Xu Shangfei whispered, "I'll tell you about this, you just pretend you don't know about Ah Nian's letter!"

"Don't worry, when did I talk nonsense?"

Xu Shangfei said, "Since last year, the official turmoil in Longcheng, Jinzhou City, and Hanzhou City outside the Guanwai has been very serious. Basically half of the officials have been folded into the pension case for the military outside the Guanwai."

"I've heard you say this, but what does it have to do with our children?"

"Listen to me." Xu Shangfei is a veteran in the officialdom, not to mention that he was a military commander, so he knows about this military affairs, Xu Shangfei said, "Originally, there has been no news about Ah Jing and the others for several years, and the Guanwai army has declined. How come all of a sudden Someone stand up for the Guanwai army? It must be Ah Jing and the others who have returned."

"I still say the same thing, why didn't you show up when you came back?"

"What's not clear about this, it must be for military power."

"Military power?" Lin Chun was puzzled, "Ah Jing was originally a general."

"Don't even think about it. Take the Yue family's management in Muzhou Mansion as an example. Over the years, Ah Yi has not been able to regain the military power in Muzhou. Even if he became the Minister of the Ministry of War, I am afraid that he still feels regretful." Xu Shangfei said, " Ah Jing's boy is not as loyal as Ah Yi. He has been operating in Hanzhou for many years, and now someone occupies his territory, how can he swallow this breath! Besides, there were quite a lot of confusion in the matter of closing foreign troops back then. Many times, even General Guan returned to Muzhou Mansion without receiving the imperial court's reward. Ah Jing must have regained the territory, but those who swallowed Hanzhou City into their stomachs would not spit it out easily. Therefore, the officialdom outside the Guan was in turmoil , the pension case for soldiers outside the customs is just pulled out for the imperial court to see. If my expectations are correct, they may have gained a foothold outside the customs."

Lin Chun asked, "If everyone regains power and stands firm, why don't they come back and just send a peace talisman?"

Xu Shangfei looked serious, "Since they seized the power outside the customs in this way, I'm afraid they don't plan to come back."

Lin Chun's eyes darkened, "What does this mean?"

"Reverse!"

It has to be said that Xu Shangfei has long seen through the essence of the fourth brother-in-law.

Xu Shangfei thought that this fourth brother-in-law was not a peaceful person when he was young.He would teach his son to lie and lie to him since he was a child. After all, this kid has some achievements when he grows up. Xu Shangfei is recuperating at home, and he also thinks that his son will experience a few years with his fourth brother-in-law, so don't waste his time.This is really a big blow, being abducted by the fourth brother-in-law into a thief boat and unable to get off!

Lin Chun almost frightened her husband to death. Her younger brother took her son to rebel against her. Lin Chun trembled for a long time before he uttered a sentence, "Since his parents passed away, I have always pitied Ah Jing for losing her parents. Come on, if father and mother are alive, seeing him so worried, I don't know how to worry about it."

Xu Shangfei comforted his wife, "Don't worry too much, Ah Nian is by Ah Jing's side, at least for the time being, his life will be safe."

"What if people know about them?"

"These bastards! They dare to do anything!" Xu Shangfei sighed, "I will drive Anian out of the house when I meet him, just like what Ayi did."

Lin Chun wept, "This is the only son we have."

Xu Shangfei wiped away tears for her, and said softly, "Don't worry about women, otherwise, what will happen to this big family? Besides, he has been raised so much, and he has been taught everything that needs to be taught, and he is following his own uncle, going outside There will be no hardship."

Lin Chundao, "If Ah Jing really rebelled, even if he is expelled from the clan for such a serious crime, I'm afraid our family will not be spared."

"Ah Jing is not a fool. He managed to plan the three cities outside the pass quietly. You think he gave it for nothing. So, when I go to the outside of the pass, I will see what they are doing."

"I can't go!" Lin Chun wanted to understand the key points, and he made up his mind. He dragged her husband and said, "Just pretend you don't know anything! If one day they are exposed, they should sever ties. If the court really doesn't agree If you don’t forgive me, you have no choice but to die. But if you go outside the customs at this time and find out later, it must be a shortcoming! Now we still don’t know their whereabouts!”

Xu Shangfei thought about it, but there was no other way, so he had to follow his wife.

Xu Shangfei really felt that it would be better not to know than to know.

The second old lady and the second old man of the Lin family had the same idea as Xu Shangfei and his wife. Lin Jing knew the temperament of the second old man very well, and originally planned not to inform the second room of the Lin family, but Lin Teng begged him desperately, saying that he was afraid that his grandmother would worry too much. .Lin Jing really couldn't stand him coming every day, so he arranged for someone to deliver a letter to the second old lady Lin when she went to the temple, with some things written in it, but told the second old lady Lin not to say anything. Teng is a dead end.

After the old lady Lin Er read the letter, she burned the letter at that time. When the letter was burned to ashes, she blew the ashes away, and her heart was still terrified.The second old man has not been in good health since the incident with his eldest grandson, and when he mentions Lin Teng, he is about to cry.The second old lady saw the second old man like this, so she took a spare time to talk to him, the second old man barely died of fright, and whispered, "This is the death penalty of beheading."

"Family extermination." The second old lady Lin said in a creepy voice, "If people find out about them, the whole family will be finished. Don't say that even though A Teng is alive, he should only be regarded as dead. .”

The second old man slapped his thigh straight, fearful and regretful in his heart, and said straight, "This Lin Xiaosi has really tricked us to death."

Although Lin Jingkeng was miserable, the second old master still remembered his eldest nephew and asked his daughter-in-law, "Do you want to tell Ah Yi?"

"I can't say it!" said the second old lady, "The eldest nephew's temperament is exactly the same as that of the first elder brother. If he knew about this, he would go outside the pass and kill Xiao Si himself! If this incident happened, Ah Teng would not survive! "

"What about the eldest couple?"

"Their hearts are already in Xiao Erlang's body. Seeing that they are fine, Kuang is young and can bear this matter. You don't need to tell them, as long as we both know."

The second old man sighed, "This deceitful Lin Xiaosi, I have long thought that he is not a good person."

"Okay, don't mention the two of them in the future, just treat them as dead." The second old lady said seriously.

The second old man had no choice but to agree.

Although he knew the whereabouts of the children in the family, he was still worried, but at least he was still alive.The elders in the family can also relax a little bit.

In fact, Xu Nian and Lin Teng are not only alive, they are also living very well.

The two of them now each have tens of thousands of horses under their command. Although they were not given official positions by the imperial court, their brother-in-law (little uncle) also named them a general.Of course, there are already a dozen generals of their size.

Under Lin Jing's command behind the scenes, Xiao Niuzi came forward to negotiate, and the three banks all signed a joint stock contract with the Xu Family Bank outside the customs.

With the addition of the bank accounts from these three places, Lin Jing's space expansion for soldiers and horses suddenly doubled!

At the same time, Lin Jing decided to let Tu Xiaosi and Xiao Niuzi stay outside the pass, and he and Tu Xiaosan led people south to expand the southward territory!
