The Founding of the Red Chamber

Ever since Tu Xiaosan and Lin Jing met outside the pass, they often met each other in Hanzhou City and Jinzhou City.After that, they went south to pacify the chaos. Although they were plotted by others, the living and dead were all in one place.This time, Tu Xiaosan went to Hangzhou to pay respects to the Shangguan, but after going out for ten days, someone dared to sneak in.

Seeing Lin Jing and Zhang Qianhu talking and laughing, Tu Xiaosan poured a mouthful of old vinegar directly from Tianling acupoint to Yongquan acupoint, which was quite sour.Tu Xiaosan entered the door with a sour face, and said, "Zhang Qianhu is here."

Before Zhang Qianhu could speak, Lin Jing was already smiling like a flower, "Isn't that right, Zhang Qianhu will be there as soon as you leave. It turns out that Zhang Qianhu said that he returned to Jiashan a few days ago. Yes, it's not easy for him to come here. Besides, you won't stay in Hangzhou for long, so let him stay. Zhang Qianhu has been waiting for you for several days."

Knowing these words familiarly, Tu Xiaosan became more and more frustrated, and seeing Zhang Qianhu's nose and eyes became more and more displeased, so he said coldly, "In the new year, Jiashan has a lot of business, so you will not delay Zhang Qianhu if you keep people like this. .”

When Lin Jing heard this, hey, this is wrong!

However, Zhang Qianhu saw the displeasure of Tu Xiaosan, and hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed, saying, "The main purpose of this subordinate is to pay respects to the general in his early years. If the general has no other orders, this subordinate should return to Jiashan."

Just as Tu Xiaosan was about to say, okay, then you can go back.

But Lin Jing said first, "What's the rush? I haven't said anything after waiting for several days, not to mention that it's getting late now. Ayou, you have thin arms and legs, and I don't feel at ease if you walk at night. In this way, today The general is back, we should have a banquet tonight, and have a good drink."

Tu Xiaosan said in his heart, whoever wants to drink any wine will be full of gas!However, he wasn't jealous after all. What's more, there was still Lin Jing's face here, so Tu Xiaosan could only calm down and said, "Then Ah Qing, you can make arrangements. Zhang Qianhu is here, and I have something to talk to you about." " He insisted on sending Lin Jing down to arrange dinner, and he called Zhang Qianhu to talk, and he refused to ask the two of them to be together again.Lin Jing was delighted, thinking to himself, I don't know when the third elder brother will be so pretentious, and he is so dishonest when he clearly fell in love with Zhang Qianhu.

Lin Jing smiled, "Then you guys are easy to talk to." Then he went to arrange the dinner.

Seeing Lin Jing smiling like a flower, Tu Xiaosan said to himself, I don't know whether it's because I'm happy to see the third brother, or because of this kid surnamed Zhang.Looking at Zhang Qianhu again, the gentleness in the past has also become a sissy, and the handsome man in the past has also become unmanly. Tu Xiaosan looked at Zhang Qianhu and said to himself, Ah Jing will not let my tall and tall beauty Men can't see it, let's take a fancy to this sissy kid~

Well, Lin Jing was as unresponsive as a piece of wood because of the N concealed confessions. It has to be said that Tu Xiaosan is not very confident in matters with Lin Jing.What's more, now he has evolved the shortcoming of being suspicious, which is like nothing but a weapon.Don't even think about it, how many years he has shared the bed with Lin Jing, Lin Jing still thinks he is the straightest man in the universe, let alone Zhang Qianhu who doesn't know his roots.

Tu Xiaosan is by no means a stupid person, it can only be said that he is deeply in love and cannot take it on himself.

Lin Jing arranged for the cook to cook a few dishes that Tu Xiaosan liked to eat, as well as some personal preferences of Zhang Qianhu. Tu Xiaosan likes meat, while Zhang Qianhu likes fish. Lin Jing also said, "I guess in the future The two of them can't eat a piece."

Chen Erqing heard this remark, and Chen Erqing asked, "Why can't you eat a piece?"

"It's nothing." Lin Jing didn't tell Chen Erqing, and told the meal, Chen Erqing hurriedly called the attendant beside Lin Jing, and said, "Ask the cook to make a pot of stewed meat with plum vegetables." This is Chen Erqing's favorite.Lin Jing smiled, "Erqing, you really can't get enough of this dish."

Chen Erqing said, "Thanks to the years I've known you, you even think about that Zhang Qianhu, so you don't know how to ask the chef to cook me pork."

Lin Jing said, "It's not that you didn't think about it. I think you have gained weight in recent years. It's better to eat less meat."

Chen Erqing patted his round waist and said, "It's not fat, it's mighty. Ah Qing, haven't you seen that anyone who is rich and a high official doesn't have a belly. Let me tell you, Three, well, the general is too thin, he should eat more meat to be mighty."

Lin Jing shook his head, "No matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to ride a horse anymore."

"How is it possible? My current martial arts, not to mention the number one in our army, is also among the top three." Chen Erqing is not all bragging, he followed his apprentice Xiaosan ten years ago to collect protection fees and travel around the world, and , after all these years of wind and rain, still alive, this is not an ordinary skill.Chen Erqing's martial arts are indeed good.

Lin Jing smiled, and asked whether Chen Erqing's affairs in Hangzhou were going well.

Chen Erqing said, "It went very well. Whether it was General Xu or General Ji, even the governor personally met our general. We talked for a long time. The friends we made in Hangzhou earlier heard that the general Here, everyone invites our general to dinner."

Lin Jing said, "It's gone?"

"No, that's all." Chen Erqing said.

Lin Jing clicked his tongue twice, and said to himself, if this Chen Erqing hadn't had some luck to follow Brother Tu San, with this qualification, he would never be able to be an official in his life.Lin Jing asked, "We have given gifts for so many years, and the adults haven't rewarded them?"

Chen Erqing hastily said, "Yes, yes. Even the Governor-General has rewarded them, General Ji, General Xu, and Zhuo Qianhu have all given things. In addition, our old friends also have annual gifts."

"Where's the list?" Lin Jing asked.

Chen Erqing said, "It's at the general's place."

Chen Erqing said again, "The general saw that there are still little spring bamboo shoots in Hangzhou, so he brought you some back."

"Why are there spring bamboo shoots now?"

Chen Erqing said, "It's not unusual. Hangzhou is such a big city, and it's not always cold and windy. In some places, if the climate is slightly warmer and there are bamboo forests around, bamboo shoots can grow out years ago. There are farmers People brought them to the city to sell, and the general saw them and asked me to buy the garden. There are several catties, a catty and a tael of silver, tell me, are these bamboo shoots precious?" Although everyone has long since escaped poverty, But Chen Erqing came from a bitter background and knows the hardships of people's livelihood best. Thinking about these two bamboo shoots, Chen Erqing is reluctant to eat them.The fat pork he ate was only a few dozen dollars a catty.

Lin Jing didn't think that a tael of silver and a catty of bamboo shoots was so precious, he said, "The third brother also likes stewed pork with spring bamboo shoots." He asked the cook to make some.He asked some more questions about Hangzhou, stayed in the evening, and set up a reception banquet, and everyone ate and returned to the wine happily.Even Lin Jing ate several cups, he is careful, and he also pays attention to the movements between Tu Xiaosan and Zhang Qianhu, Zhang Qianhu is well-measured, seeing that Vice General Lin (Tu Xiaosan) treated him a little coldly this time, he decided to He didn't catch up with Tu Xiaosan's cold butt, and Zhang Qianhu mostly talked with Lin Jing, so Tu Xiaosan's cold butt became even colder.

Chen Erqing, on the other hand, had a good time eating, especially the good wine given by the governor's mansion in Kaifeng today, Chen Erqing kept saying, "This wine is really good." He toasted to Tu Xiaosan and others frequently.

After Lin Jing ate three or two cups, Tu Xiaosan stopped telling him to eat.Tu Xiaosan said, "I like to eat it tomorrow, but if I drink too much at night, my stomach will feel bad." Ask the chef to serve Lin Jing vegetarian wontons.

Lin Jing tasted it, but he didn't know what kind of dish it was, but he felt that the taste was fresh and appropriate, and it was very good.Just couldn't taste what it was, Lin Jing said, "What kind of stuff is this?"

Tu Xiaosan smiled, "I can't tell you, you haven't eaten it anyway."

Lin Jing smiled, "Why are you still playing tricks?"

Tu Xiaosan smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Qianhu looked at these two people but secretly wondered, originally when he came to Haiyan last time, he had also heard about Tu Xiaosan having a scholar's secretary by his side, so he didn't take Lin Jing to heart.When Piansheng came here this time, he didn't see Tu Xiaosan, so he asked Lin Jing to stay.It stands to reason that without Tu Xiaosan, it is Lin Jing's turn to be in charge in the city, but Lin Jing is in charge of all matters big and small in Haiyan.It's not that Zhang Qianhu has any opinion on Lin Jing, it's just that there are official rules in the officialdom, if the governor is not there, he must entrust the important affairs of the city to the governor, and the governor can't be entrusted to his confidants.A confidant is a confidant, and officialdom belongs to officialdom, which are completely different things.

Zhang Qianhu lived in Haiyan according to Lin Jing's wishes, and became more and more surprised after interacting with Lin Jing. He originally thought that since this scholar was in charge of Haiyan, he was naturally capable.However, Zhang Qianhu did not expect that Lin Jing's ability was not ordinary.From training in the army to government affairs in the county, Lin Jing was able to handle everything in an orderly manner.Zhang Qianhu asked himself, could he be as comfortable as Lin Jing?Talk to him again, Zhang Qianhu is a man who turned from civilized to military, and he can also be called a young talent.As a result, Zhang, a young talent who has always been confident, believed in Lin Jing that there are thousands of heroes in the world, there are people beyond the people, and there are mountains beyond the mountains.

Zhang Qianhu had a good impression of Lin Jing. He originally thought that Lin Jing was Tu Xiaosan's confidant, but seeing the tacit understanding between the two now, Zhang Qianhu believes that the relationship between the two is by no means limited to ordinary Staff, look at the intimacy that apprentice Xiaosan treats Lin Jing, is it something that can be found between ordinary masters and curtains?

At this time, Zhang Qianhu finally understood why Lin Jingzhi was willing to act as a cover for apprentice Xiaosan.It's not that Tu Xiaosan's talents are ordinary, Tu Xiaosan is certainly not comparable to ordinary people, but this Deputy General Lin (Tu Xiaosan) is only a general, but in terms of knowledge and personality, he is far inferior to Li Wenshu (Lin Jing).

Zhang Qianhu had a more accurate judgment on the relationship between the two, and after staying for the next day, he left and returned to Jiashan.He came over to greet Shangguan with New Year's greetings and New Year gifts, so naturally he would not come empty-handed, Zhang Qianhu prepared quite a lot of gifts.The gift Lin Jing gave him in return was also generous. Of course, the name of the gift this time was in response to Tu Xiaosan, but seeing Tu Xiaosan's face at the time, Zhang Qianhu felt that it could not be that Vice General Lin (Tu Xiaosan) was reluctant to give it to him. It's his annual gift.

It's just that it's not appropriate for him to push it over and over again. Who cares, Zhang Qianhu and Tu Xiaosan had a good impression when they first met, but now their evaluation of Tu Xiaosan has dropped and dropped.Zhang Qianhu thought to himself, if he hadn't looked at Li Wenshu's (Lin Jing) face, he wouldn't have come here to deal with this stingy boss.

As for Tu Xiaosan, he wished Zhang Qianhu could get out as soon as possible.

So, under Lin Jing's cooperation, Tu Xiaosan and Zhang Qianhu, who were originally good-natured, just looked at each other and hated each other.

After Zhang Qianhu had left, Lin Jing said to Tu Xiaosan, "You're too cold."

Tu Xiaosan said, "Where am I being indifferent, how much enthusiasm do I need? Do you want to confess him?"

"What's wrong with you, you speak in a strange way."

Tu Xiaosan snorted and ignored Lin Jing.However, this person is one thing and one thing, even if Lin Jing is not open to life and death in matters of love, and his temper is not very good, the disciple Xiaosan just has no temper when he treats him, and then he feels that his family, Ah Jing, is very nice.Or look, the bamboo shoots he specially brought back to Ah Jing were only a few. Ah Jing remembered that he loved bamboo shoots and roasted pork, so he immediately asked someone to stew them for him.This is to have him in my heart.

Not only was Tu Xiaosan not very friendly to Zhang Qianhu, but he also spoke ill of Zhang Qianhu to Lin Jing in private. Tu Xiaosan said, "That Zhang Qianhu, I think he has too many thoughts, and I'm afraid you will suffer."

Lin Jing said, "You really don't like Zhang Qianhu?"

"What do you like!" Tu Xiaosan didn't understand what he said.

Lin Jingqiao said to him, "Before you headed to Hangzhou, didn't you say that you broke your sleeves? I think Zhang Qianhu is pretty good. I haven't seen him when he came last time. You even praised him. I I thought you were interested in him."

Tu Xiaosan said to Lin Jing, "What kind of vision do you have! My vision is so bad!"

Lin Jing said, "I'm not for you."

"Then you have to choose a good one for third brother." Tu Xiaosan held back his breath and guided Lin Jing.

"I picked it just as you said. It looks gentle, handsome, and knowledgeable."

"Then I also said, I have to find someone who is a thousand times stronger than you."

Lin Jing choked on Tu Xiaosan's memory, "Then you just wait to beat yourself up as a bachelor!"

"Hit it, hit it, anyway, you are with a bachelor!"

So, the two bachelors are so busy preparing for the Chinese New Year~~~~
