People from the Red Chamber in the Times

"Girl, the boat is coming to shore soon, Second Master Lian is here to call." Daiyu had just figured out an idea in her head, and it seemed that a few minutes had passed before Xueyan went to the bedside and called herself to get up.

Gollum...

Ouch, how embarrassing.

Brain work consumes too much energy. The bowl of porridge and sugar water that I ate before have already been digested. Daiyu just moved, which accelerated the peristalsis of the stomach and intestines. No, the stomach growled.

"I'll go to the kitchen to see if there are any ready-made ones for the girl to use as cushions." Xueyan was still a little girl, and she couldn't do things well. When she heard Daiyu's belly sound, she didn't wait on her own lady first, and tidied it up. Go out again, or call Zijuan to help, let go of the hand that helped Daiyu get up, and ran away in a hurry.

……

Daiyu shook her head, this child!

It doesn't mean to be angry, what can such an older girl understand?Even younger than my great-grandson.If old Qintou could have such a well-behaved daughter or granddaughter, Bule would be crazy.

What did daddy think at the beginning?Only bring her an old nanny, and a little girl who is so useless to follow?Although Mother Jia will definitely arrange for someone to serve her, can the newcomer catch up with the caring that she is used to?Jia's family has corrupted their own family property with two to three million silver, and it's not a family that can't afford to hire a few servants!

Ouch, speaking of this matter, I am even more angry!In my previous life, I was a fool, thinking that eating, drinking, and drinking were all under the control of the Jia family, and I was a poor little child who depended on others. That is a person with low self-esteem, sensitivity, and strong self-esteem. In such an environment Next, can you not be depressed?Can the body be affected?I even lamented with Sister Bao that my family was so poor that I had nothing but books.

Simply stupid.

This is the disadvantage of being lofty and ignorant of worldly affairs.My own family property has been cheated by others.

I read books in my previous life, when I was young, I didn’t think of this joint, I just got angry and disappointed with that stone, I was disappointed with the people in the two prefectures, I was angry with myself, and I felt sorry for those beautiful girls who had a sad ending. .

Later, when I acted myself, I was preoccupied with adapting to the work of filming. Acting was subconsciously based on talent, so I couldn’t talk about acting skills, and I didn’t have the opportunity to think about it.

Or later, when I got older and retired, I picked up books to study again.Decades of experience in economic lawsuits, coupled with various comment materials, especially some distorted comments on the Internet, are very stimulating.Only then did she realize that the Jia family alone could not afford to build the Grand View Garden.

She even deliberately settled the accounts carefully, even if she obtained sponsorship from the Xue family and the Jia family in private, the Ning family would also contribute money and effort.The big head must be shared by the Rongguo Mansion, and it will be corrupted layer by layer by various stewards. To build such an exquisite Grand View Garden, the Rongguo Mansion will not be able to complete it unless it spends 200 million taels of silver.But where do they still have those silver coins?The patriarch is not on their side, and he doesn't have the right to sell the clan's property, right?Even if they sold their field shop, it wouldn't be worth that much.What's more, you have to save some for future chewing!

After all the calculations, and when Jia Lian had no money in the future, he was thinking about making another 200 million yuan.After a reasonable guess, it is also conceivable where the 200 million yuan was made.

This is disgusting.

It also became more and more obvious that Mrs. Wang's innocence is not for nothing.It's not just her, who doesn't know the masters of the housekeepers in the upper ranks?The old lady has no idea?Spending her family's money while still disliking her for free living and living, it really makes people speechless.

Pretend one thing after another in my heart, but the boat is not slow.Xueyan went there for a long time, found a plate of gold silk rolls from the kitchen, and came back, almost home, the kitchen didn't have anything to eat.This is what Jia Lian didn't eat from the last meal.People who are hungry, don't pick that one, just eat.

Just after eating, it didn't take long before the hustle and bustle of the pier could be heard from a distance.It is worthy of riding a crane down to Yangzhou, a place rich in the world, it is still as prosperous as in memory.

Daiyu felt relieved when she heard those noisy voices. She used to feel panicked and always liked to read books and play the piano in a quiet and quiet place, but not anymore.It's so lively, how nice it is.Being popular, I feel alive when I hear it, maybe after getting older, I have been surrounded by too many naughty boys with Old Qintou, and my temper has been cultivated.Now she likes such a lively scene.

As the boat approached the shore, Zijuan had already packed all her luggage and was just waiting for the rough envoy woman who came to pick her up at home to carry it.Some servants had already gone home by fast boat to deliver the letter, and there must be some servants waiting on the shore.

"Tell your girl, we may have to wait a while before landing." Jia Lian's voice came from outside again.

"Second brother Lian, did something happen on the shore? Didn't anyone pick up the letter at home? It's still Daddy..." Daiyu said, her own cousin, she is so young now, living in Jia's mansion It's also common when it's time, why are there so many cares, what's the matter with not letting the boats dock when they arrive?Can she not ask?

"Sister, don't worry, my uncle is in good health, and all the people who came to pick me up have arrived. It's just that the general who guards the frontier is going to enter the city at this moment, and their boat will arrive soon. I have to wait for a while." Jia Lian's voice was very calm, and he didn't give way at all, losing the depression of a rich and noble son.

"Okay..." Daiyu agreed, turned around and sat down by the window again. There were too many boats coming and going on the pier, and they were all jammed together to make way for that general. The boat just arrived, it is still on the outermost circle, and the window is facing the river.

Looking out, you can see that not far away, there is a fleet of ships coming. The two small boats in front of the road are full of soldiers standing on them, waving flags, and then there is a boat that is definitely not what this era should be. Some large-scale warship-reformed building ships are said to be rebuilt from warships because the gun ports on the side of the ship are still there.

Behind the big ship, there are more than ten medium-sized warships. These are real warships, with sails on the deck and cannons on the side of the ship, and the shapes are based on actual combat.

Old Chief Qin is a serious army fan, and he likes these things the most. Daiyu followed, and he was fascinated by it.

This battle is too arrogant, right?

General guarding the frontier?Who is that?

Daiyu racked her brains, but couldn't figure out, is there such a character in the world of Red Mansions?no?No shadow ever appeared.

But listening to Jia Lian's meaning, it's clear that he didn't look surprised at all. What's going on?

Also, didn't everyone say that the emperor in Dream of the Red Chamber alluded to Yongzheng?So a man with a hairy hair, can he bear someone being so crazy with him?

Of course, the world is so big, and the world of the Red Chamber is also based on the maps of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. For such a big place, and for such old people, how much has been written about the Red Chamber, and it cannot cover all of them. It's normal.

It's just that when I returned to Yangzhou in my previous life, there were no such things!

That's the point.

"Zijuan, Xueyan, have you heard of the General Guarding the Frontier? Do you know who he is?" Of course if you don't understand, you have to ask. Daiyu first asked the two people around her.

"I haven't heard of it." Both of them looked confused and shook their heads, they had never heard of it.

"Go and ask Lian's second brother to come in. I'll ask him." When he understood the matter, he didn't know what to do, so he asked Zicuckoo to call someone.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head back to the river to see the fleet.I saw a few people standing on the bow of the largest building boat, the one in the middle was wearing a silver helmet, a very tall and straight figure, why is it so familiar?

Daiyu couldn't move her eyes, she just kept staring at the general.

The boat got closer and closer, and the silhouette of the person became clearer and clearer, and the person's appearance became clearer and clearer.

Absolutely no mistake, this figure is clearly the appearance of the old head Qin when he was young.Daiyu's tears ran out again, but she wiped them off immediately, before she could see her face clearly, how could she shed tears, they blocked her view.

No one would mistake the partner who has been with him for a hundred years, and she is not stupid.Even if she still couldn't see her face clearly, she wouldn't admit to that figure.

But I was so scared in my heart, could it be him?I have come back through the soul, so this body that is exactly the same as that of Old Qin, is it really him?

Take it easy, take it easy, look again, look again.

A little closer, a little closer.

Daiyu could even see what the man said to the officers around him, and pointed his finger in the direction of the ships on the pier.

Closer, closer.

Finally, the distance was less than 20 meters. Thankfully, her eyes were not short-sighted and she could see clearly.

Uh……

This face is old Qin's head, that's right.

But she had never seen such a young boss Qin.When we first met, he was in his 20s.

This face will not be more than 20 years old at most.

Therefore, he is definitely not a general guarding the frontiers. A general with such great prestige will not be achieved overnight. Even if he was born to fight, he may not be able to do it, right?

I don't know if it was telepathy, but the young general was originally looking at the pier, but suddenly turned his head and looked in Daiyu's direction, and the two met eyes.

Then you can't go wrong.

The eyes match, it's him.

Daiyu's heart thumped, and she fell to the ground, letting her tears flow down her face, but a big smile appeared on her lips.There was the sound of opening the warehouse door behind him, he quickly wiped away his tears, put down the curtains, turned and went back.

After confirming the eyes, it is the right person, then she doesn't have to worry.Don't even think about how to persuade her father not to go back to Jia's house, old Qin will make clear arrangements for her!

"Your sister, do you want to ask me?" Jia Lian asked as soon as she came in, Xue Yan only said to him that the girl was looking for him, but she didn't say anything.

"I've never heard of the name of the general guarding the frontier before, and the fleet is so large. I want to ask my second brother Lian, who are they?" What should the curiosity of a ten-year-old girl look like?Daiyu tried hard to recall what her nieces were like when they were young.The two maids beside her also looked curious, they were still children.

"It's not surprising that you don't know. Qin Guanyu, the general guarding the border, used to live on a small island called Banghe Island in the East China Sea for generations. In the past two dynasties, maritime trade has developed rapidly. There are more merchants, and there are more and more pirates. The fishermen of Banghe Island also formed a fleet to do sea trade. Later, they developed into the largest sea trade merchants in the East China Sea. They didn't dare to provoke them. Qin Guanyu is the head of the Qin family of this generation, and the general guarding the frontier is just a title given by the court. There is no rank, no salary, it's just a title. Strictly speaking, that General Qin, It can only be regarded as listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement. That is to say, His Majesty the Saint is wise. After he ascended the throne, in order to ensure the safety of the sea, he sent teams after teams of lobbyists to Banghe Island to recruit peace. At first, they were unsuccessful. Later, Prince Zhongshun personally It was only then that Qin Guanyu was persuaded to return to the imperial court. But he only agreed that Banghe Island should hang the flag of our country. No tribute, no pilgrimage, no pilgrimage, no obedience to the tune. It can be regarded as a small independent kingdom hanging overseas." Jia Lian I can't be an official, my official position is donated, and I don't have a real job. My business level is average, but my ability to handle affairs is good. I like to listen to these market gossips. However, anyone who runs the sea trade can't wait to confess Qin Guanyu as a living ancestor, and often tells the story of the Qin family like a legend.Don't listen too much.

"Then why did you come ashore and come to Yangzhou?" Daiyu asked, the old Qin boss is indeed the old Qin boss, he is so good at reincarnation in this life, and the place he is looking for is really good enough, the army can't reach it, the pirates They can't be provoked, but they themselves are eating both black and white, and the benefits are huge.

"It is said that there are too few teachers on the island. The young son of the Qin family is going to Beijing to study in the Imperial College. General Qin personally came to send the young master ashore. I heard that the boat brought a whole boatful of treasures to be dedicated to the two saints. .Looking at the amount of water, I think it's true." Lian's second brother is only very sensitive to money matters. When he talks about gold and silver treasures, his eyes light up. The only thing he really cares about is the rich local tyrants. envy.

"Isn't that a hostage?" Daiyu said subconsciously.

"Hush, you can't say that!" Jia Lian was taken aback, how could you say this, even if you knew it in your heart, you couldn't say it.

In fact, he thought so too. Otherwise, it would be said that Banghe Island is so rich that it can rival the country, and the style of writing in the south of the Yangtze River is at its peak, so what kind of teacher can't be hired?Do you have to go to the Imperial College to study?It is estimated that the common people think so.

"Is that the boat of Mr. Lin's family, the salt inspector?" The two were talking, when a particularly loud shout came from outside, and it sounded like the distance between boats and boats.

Damn, Jia Lian's complexion changed at that time, it couldn't be that Sister Lin's voice was heard just now, right?People who are not even afraid of the emperor, like him, can't be provoked.

"Exactly. What's your job, Mr. Jun?" Immediately got up and walked out, but the servants answered the conversation first.

"Our young master said that Mr. Lin is a senior who studied. He admires him very much. He is planning to visit and ask for advice another day. How can we let the Lin family's boat wait here and invite you to go ashore together." The officer spoke a strange dialect Talking to Jia Lian who showed up, addressing etiquette is so-so and not refined.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin." When Jia Lian heard this, the matter must continue.What a great opportunity to pretend, when he returns to Beijing, this is enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life, why not?My buddies are so awesome, the general guarding the border sent his only son to Beijing, we also don't have to avoid it, and we have to be invited to go with us.

Daiyu listened in the cabin and laughed.

This is to express goodwill to the old man through Jia Lian's mouth. Before he landed, he knew that he would seize every opportunity to please his father-in-law.

"Miss, you are finally back. The journey has been tiring." The old butler of the Lin family, Uncle Fu, stepped on the boat as soon as he saw his boat approaching the shore. The sedan chair was carried to the port of the warehouse, waiting for Daiyu to get on the sedan chair, it was impossible for the eldest lady of the family to get off the boat by herself.

"Fu Bo, long time no see. How are you? How is Daddy?" It's really been a long time, over 100 years.Daiyu looked at Uncle Fu and felt very kind.It is said that among the ten housekeepers, there are eight named Uncle Fu. The Uncle Fu in her family also grew up with her father since she was a child. The family has children, and they are loyal and loyal. Maggots are different.

"Okay, okay, okay. As soon as the master heard that Miss's boat had arrived, he could get up and get out of bed. I don't think it will take a few days to recover." Uncle Fu laughed out all the creases on his face, and his eyes were bright. With tears.

The boat is not a place to reminisce about the past, and there are quite a few boats waiting in line to dock.Just exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and the two stopped talking.

Daiyu got into the sedan chair, went ashore, changed carriages, and went straight to Lin's mansion.
