Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

Seeing that she couldn't make sense to her mother, Xue Baochai stopped trying to persuade her, and shook Aunt Xue's hand to let her sit down, "Mother, do you know who is in the Jia family? Do you have sisters and sisters? We have just arrived, so we have to back up."

Aunt Xue sat down, and said Xue Baochai's words to you and got up, "There are four young ladies on the side of the Jia family. The eldest lady was born by your aunt. The second lady is the concubine of the eldest master, and now it is recorded in the name of the eldest wife, the third lady is your uncle's concubine, and is now being raised by your aunt, as for the fourth miss..."

Xue Baochai was thoughtful, "Miss Fourth is the county lord of Jia's East Mansion, right?"

Aunt Xue nodded, "Except for the eldest lady, the other three ladies are all younger than you."

Xue Baochai chuckled, "I didn't see you today, I didn't expect that I have so many sisters, I have to choose carefully for the presents later."

Hearing this, Aunt Xue's eyes darkened slightly.

Yes, I didn't think about it before, no matter how unpopular their family is, they are also relatives of Jia's family, but the girls who came to Jia's family didn't show their faces. It must be Jia's mother's idea.

But even Miss San didn't come out, which shows that Mrs. Wang doesn't have that much say in this family.

Noticing the look in Aunt Xue's eyes, Xue Baochai's heart moved slightly, and he pretended not to care and said: "I have been alone since I was a child, and now there are so many younger sisters, I am not lonely at all."

Aunt Xue felt sore after hearing this, Wang told her about her situation, and after thinking about it, she knew that her baby girl might not be able to fulfill her wish.

For a moment, Aunt Xue thought that it would be better to go back to Jinling, at least Xue Baochai still had some handkerchiefs in Jinling, but when she thought of Xue Pan, her thoughts disappeared.

Aunt Xue got up, "I'll go and see if the things have been put away, you should take a good rest."

Xue Baochai nodded, "Mother, please remember to bring my box and cage here quickly, so that I can pick out gifts for my sisters earlier."

Aunt Xue paused slightly, "Okay, I see."

Xue Baochai lowered her head and picked up the book again, but this time she couldn't read the contents of the book.

It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, this small election, she is imperative!

Xichun didn't know that Xue Baochai had entered Beijing until she received the gift. After careful calculation, it was several years later than the time Xue Baochai entered Beijing in the original book. She originally thought that maybe Xue Pan hadn't met Xiangling and hadn't committed any crime. , Xue Baochai will not go to Beijing, who knows that he will come anyway.

Xichun was playing with the two palace flowers, when Lichun saw them, he asked, "Miss, do you want to wear it?"

Nanny Shang sat aside and said: "These two palace flowers are exquisitely crafted and lifelike, even rare in the palace."

Xichun put the palace flower back into the box, "This palace flower is beautiful, but it is dead after all."

Nanny Shang nodded and didn't mention it any more. Instead, she called Li Chun forward and said a few words.

Xichun saw that Nanny Shang's gentle and soft words made Lichun look listless, and suddenly found it interesting.

There are several names for her in the Jia family, Xijieer, Meijieer, Fourth Miss, Miss, and County Monarch. The first two are called by people close to her, while the latter two are called by the servants. At home, there are three kinds of titles mixed up, most of them are called Miss, and they are called Xianjun.

Back then, Xichun was young, and the county lord was not a big position, and Xichun didn't like being called the county lord very much, so Mammy Hu and Monk Mammy didn't care too much, as long as she didn't make mistakes in general, but now Xichun It is also big, and the titles should be unified.

These days Hu Nanny and Monk Mammy began to focus on this aspect.

Li Qiu came over to cover the box and asked Xi Chun, "Does the county lord want to see Miss Xue?"

Among the four Li, Li Chun took care of her and took care of her jewelry, Li Xia took care of her clothes, and also took care of the little maids in the yard, Li Qiu took care of all the utensils in her yard, and Li Dong took care of people coming. sent to.

In the past, Lichun was by her side almost most of the time, and the other three Lichun took turns, but since the trip to Lingnan, Lichun and Liqiu were almost always by her side.

Xichun shook her head, "Why is there such a hurry? We shall see each other." He then ordered Lidong to send a return gift to Xue Baochai.

Xichun is thinking about another thing now.

At first Jin Han wrote her a letter, but she didn't reply, but the next time when Jin Han wrote a letter home, he wrote her another letter, the letter was also official and polite, this time Xichun replied, and gradually, Xichun also got along with Jin Han. Han communicated several times.

The more letters I write, the less official and polite the content will be. Occasionally, Jin Han will mention some interesting things in the military camp.

It was also because of this that Xichun remembered what happened to Nan'an Palace later, when the army was defeated and captured, Tanchun married and got married.

Xichun couldn't sit still for a while, and went to Jia Jing's study to read the books for several days, and got a general understanding of the current military power.

What Xichun focuses on is guns.

Now there are things like cannons and mines in the army, which seem to be very powerful according to the records, but looking at the letter written by Jin Han, we know that these things are actually not very practical.

Every time a cannon fires four or five bullets, the bore must be cooled, otherwise there is a danger of the bore exploding.

The bullets of the gun system are loose bullets, and a single shot is a large piece. It is said that it is so lethal, but unfortunately Chun found that its effective distance is very short, and the chances of surviving the shot are also very high. As long as you He missed the shot to the point and survived the inflammation afterwards.

There are also landmines, which are only half as powerful as the landmines made by the working people in the era of Xichun's all-out war of resistance in her previous life.

Xichun also asked Jia Jing, expressing her worries one by one.

Jia Jing told Xichun that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry have been continuing to develop these, so she should not think too much about them.

Xichun looked at Jia Jing, "But I didn't see any results."

Xichun showed Jia Jing the letter Jinhan wrote to him, and Jinhan told her that he found that there were few firearms in the army and they were not as good as the ones he had seen at home before. "The production of firearms has not increased, and the quality has not improved. , and even declining.”

Now Jia Jing didn't speak anymore.

Xichun said again: "The sweet potatoes were originally brought back by marine merchants who disguised them as vines and wrapped them around the ship's cables." Because the colonists there did not allow the Chinese to take the sweet potatoes away.

"That sea merchant was lucky to not be discovered. Before him, several people were killed because they were found smuggling sweet potatoes. Many more people didn't dare to take sweet potatoes because they were afraid of the firearms in the hands of the people there."

These are what Jia Qi and the others told Xichun when they were on the way to Lingnan. They said that the firearms in the hands of the colonists there were different from theirs. They only fired one bullet, but the effective range was far away.

Looking at it together in this way, the minds of those colonists are clear at a glance. Their next goal is this fertile land.

Jia Jing also understood what this meant, and couldn't help frowning.

The Jia family has connections in the Ministry of War and the army, but after so many years, many connections have been broken, and the rest cannot be contacted at will.

In the past few years, Jia's family has finally regained its calm, and suddenly getting involved in military affairs, I'm afraid there will be troubles in life again.

This matter is difficult to handle, but it must be done.

Jia Jing nodded and folded the letter paper again, "Okay, father knows."

Xichun breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

Then Jia Jing asked, "When did sister Xi communicate with Prince Jin?"

Xichun: ...

Only then did Xichun remember that she hadn't told Jia Jing about this!

Seeing Jia Jing's face, Xichun immediately honestly told the story of the correspondence with Jin Han.

Jia Jing nodded after listening, and returned the letter to Xichun, "Okay, father knows, sister Xi, let's go back."

Xichun returned to the yard in a daze before she came to her senses.

Hey, father is not angry?

Her letters were not confiscated either!

Does this mean that she is allowed to continue to communicate with Jin Han?

How could Jia Jing not be angry, as soon as Xichun walked away Jia Jing smashed the teacup, "Children of the Jin family, you are too bullying!"

Jia Yi cleaned up the leftovers himself, "Jin Shizi is also a sensible person."

Jia Jing immediately glared at Jia Yi, "Which family are you from?!"

Jia Yi shrank his neck, "Of course it belongs to the Jia family, the Jia family."

Jia Jing patted the table, "Then what do you say for that bastard?!"

Jia Yi didn't answer anymore, and retreated with the residue with a smile on his face, "Master, I'll make you a cup of tea again, just wait a moment, I'll be here right away."

Jia Jing was so angry that he fell on his back!

When Xichun and Jinhan had an accident, Jia Jing knew something was wrong.

People in the world are harsh on women. If people know that Xichun was kidnapped by thieves and spent a night outside, the world will drown her in spit. They don't care that Xichun was a child at that time, they will only say what they want to say of.

Who sent the thief? Jia Jing also knew that when Princess Nan'an made a fuss, he still hoped that the other party would bring it up. Even at that time, the city was full of turmoil. It has been so many years since Xichun and Chishou, so it should calm down At that time, there is no need to think about being in the right household, but Xichun, who has a lower household income, can also live a good life.

But they just didn't bring it up!

This matter has become a bomb, and no one knows when it will be detonated and how much impact it will have.

Jia Jing was holding back his anger towards Jin Han, but Jin Han dared to hook up with his sister Xi!

Just asshole!

There is also the Nan'an Palace, every time the letter is sent by the letter from the family, it is clear that it supports this matter.

What's the matter, does this mean that Jin Han is not married to his sister Xi?

Let's make his spring and autumn dream come true!

Jia Jing walked around the house a few times, getting more and more angry, and finally shouted out the door: "Where's the tea?!"

The servant responded, and hurriedly brought tea in, "Master, the tea is here, be careful not to burn it."

Jia Jing took the tea, "Where's Jia Yi?"

The servant looked at Jia Jing cautiously, "Uncle Jia said that he remembered that he didn't feed the horses today, but went to the stables."

Jia Jing paused, then laughed, "Are you going to feed the horses? Okay, you go to the stables and tell Jia Yi to let him clean the stables by the way. When will they be cleaned up, and when will they come back!"

The boy silently lit a piece of wax for Jia, and as soon as he walked to the door, he heard Jia Jing say again: "Go and tell Jia Er and the others, they are responsible for judging whether the stables have been cleaned or not."

The servant paused, Second Uncle Jia and the others...

The boy gave Jia another row of wax in his heart.
