After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

After placing all the coffins and coffins in the newly built family temple, Shi Nai arranged for a male from the second room to guard them with two wandering monks who placed orders in the temple. The people of the tribe left alone.

Shi Ding saw his wife and daughter, washed away the dust all the way, and the two brothers gathered in the study to talk for a while.

"The people in Jinling didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

"They really want to," Shi Ding said with a smile, "but as soon as I mention the second brother's name, they will immediately behave like cats. Second brother, you are that Zhenshan Taisui!" Shi Ding stood up Thumbs up.

"Huh?" Shi Nai held the tea bowl and looked at him dangerously.

"Ah?" Shi Ding immediately realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly corrected it, "Oh, it's Growing King Kong."

——It's not easy to hear.

However, looking at his younger brother's fawning unshaven face, Shi Nai decided not to bother with him.

He fiddled with the tea leaves in the bowl slowly with the bowl lid, and suddenly asked, "Third brother, have you brought those rabbit dolls back?"

"Bring it back." Although Shi Ding didn't understand why the second brother asked this, he still answered truthfully.

Shi Nai continued to ask slowly: "Tell me, do the second girls like those dolls?"

"Huh?" Shi Ding looked blank.

In the Spring View Courtyard where Sanfang lives, Mrs. Ma is arranging the luggage that Shi Ding brought back.

"What is this box, open it and have a look." Ma Shi pointed to an extraordinarily large log box.

Hu Sanjia opened it according to his words, and saw a big box of rabbit dolls of different sizes and styles, "Oh, ma'am, this box is full of dolls, and the third master must have specially brought it for the second girl."

Mrs. Ma stepped forward to take a look, and picked up one of the rabbits with a straw hat and buck teeth, showing affection, "You are right. I was worried that the second girl was not a boy, and the third master didn't like it. Now it seems that I think too much."

Hu San's family said: "My wife really thinks too much. You and the third master are still young. This old saying is good, it blooms first, and then bears fruit. First there is a little padded jacket, how can the third master not like it?"

Madam Ma was delighted to hear this, and nodded again and again, "You are right. Come on, find someone to carry these dolls to the West Wing for the second girl to play with."

So, when Shi Ding came back anxiously to look at his rabbit doll, he only saw a big empty box.

"Ma'am." He called Ma Shi in a daze.

"Huh? What's the matter, Third Master?" Mrs. Ma looked at him suspiciously.

Shi Ding pointed at the empty box with trembling fingers, trying to keep his tone steady: "Where's the rabbit inside?"

"Oh, that's what you said. I've sent Na to the second girl's room." Thinking of her daughter's happy look, Mrs. Ma smiled from ear to ear, "Second girl really likes it."

"Oh." Shi Ding couldn't laugh anymore.

"What's wrong?" Madam Ma sensed that his emotions were wrong.

"...It's nothing, it's just that I originally wanted...to give it to the second girl with my own hands." Shi Ding felt that he could understand how his second brother felt when he needed to spend money.This is simply an unbearable weight in life.

—His rabbits!That is a full version of the rabbit doll that has been saved for several years!

But Ma Shi didn't know anything, and still shared with him how happy the second girl was playing with the doll.

After settling the family affairs, Shi Nai's heart was relieved.Next, his main concern, apart from fighting wits and bravery with the sage and resolutely stopping the sage from squandering the treasury money, is the future war with the Wala tribe on the northern grasslands.

This war was an outbreak after many years of friction between Daxia and Wala, and it was inevitable.But after the war was won, Shi Nai felt that economic constraints could be considered.

Because, in terms of economy, Great Xia has a natural advantage in facing Oala, wouldn't it be a pity not to use it?

After a few more days, the historians got rid of their uniforms, and Shi Ding could formally seek a position.

He felt that he couldn't handle the twists and turns in the court, and he was too lazy to play, and the army was more suitable for him.

"Have you made up your mind?" Shi Nai's expression was very serious.

"En." Shi Ding nodded vigorously, "Second brother, you know me, I don't like to use my brain, so fighting is more suitable for me."

"In this case, we brothers have to separate first."

Shi Ding was shocked, but he believed that the second brother must have his own reasons.Therefore, I asked directly: "Why do we have to separate first?"

Shi Nai sighed, "I'm a civil servant now, and you are a military officer. Since the Song Dynasty, there has been a distinction between civil and military affairs. Let's avoid suspicion and avoid a lot of trouble."

Shi Ding listened and nodded, "I understand."

Shi Nai took out a box, opened it, and inside was a piece of paper filled with words, "These are all the old man's contacts in the army. Although most of our historians' contacts are in the frontier army, you can't borrow them when you are in the capital." How much strength. But in the future, we will fight together..."

The two brothers showed tacit smiles.

The important matter of family separation was settled by the two brothers in a few words.Next, it is time to discuss Shi Ding's whereabouts.

Shi Nai asked, "Where do you want to go, the Bingma Division of the Five Cities, the Gyeonggi Camp, and the Shenji Camp?"

As for Luan Yiwei, where the noble children gather together, Shi Nai didn't mention it.

Luan Yiwei is used to put on face for saints, and it is also used for gilding the noble children. The only requirement is to look dignified, majestic and majestic.

In short: Don't be afraid if you have no skills, as long as you have a good face.

Anyone with a little bit of ambition will not go to Luan Yiwei.

Shi Ding lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and when Shi Nai was pleased that his younger brother was finally willing to use his brain, Shi Ding raised his head and asked with trusting expression: Second brother, where do you think I should go. "

Shi Nai: "..."

——I shouldn't have expected so much from you!

But his own brother, what else can he do?Of course, he continued to support him.

Shi Nai said what he had already considered: "As far as the Shenji camp is concerned, there are too many people wanting to enter, and we don't have many connections in it. Unless you ask the Jia family for help, otherwise, even if you go, you won't get any chance."

Shi Ding said: "Then I won't go to Shenji Camp, I don't want to talk nicely to my aunt."

Shi Nai continued: "As for the Wucheng Bingmasi, it is easier to enter. However, the Jia family's foundation there is too deep, and we are close relatives of the Jia family. The current Nine Gates Admiral Yuan must be afraid, afraid that he will Offer you up as a Buddha."

"No, no." Shi Ding shook his head again and again, "I joined the army because I wanted to make meritorious service, not just to dawdle. If I want to be gilded, I'll go to Luan Yiwei, that's still decent."

"Then you can only go to Gyeonggi Daying."

Among the three options, Gyeonggi Daying is the most begging, tiring and honest place.If you are not capable enough, even if the Duke's son enters, no one will praise you.

But this is very much to Shi Ding's appetite.

"Okay, I'll go to Gyeonggi Daying. Over the past two years in Jinling, I have listened to my second brother's words, and my martial arts skills have never fallen. When I arrive at Gyeonggi Daying, I can beat you up if you don't agree with me!"

Shi Nai smiled, "You have such ambition, no matter where you go, I am at ease."

Shi Ding chuckled, "What else do you worry about?"

"Really?" Shi Nai raised his eyebrows and asked suddenly, "I still have a pig and rabbit, do you want it?"

Shi Ding's eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously, "Where is it? Where is it?"

He hadn't slept with his beloved Bunny in his arms for two days, and he could only take the opportunity to touch it every day when he was playing with the second girl, for fear of being seen by others.It's just too miserable!

Shi Nai suppressed a smile and sighed, "Look, with you like this, how can I feel relieved?"

Shi Ding: "..."

——Second Shi, I knew that you were not that kind!

******

Because the properties of the two houses have been separated long ago, it is easy to separate the family now. After Shi Ding sent someone to clean up the five-entry mansion allocated to him on the back street of the Hou Mansion, he brought his wives and concubines and the second girl. The little padded jacket has moved over.

In this regard, both the Yan family and the Ma family are very satisfied.

Yan felt that after the third room moved out of the Hou's mansion, it meant that it would never compete with the second room for the title;

Mrs. Ma felt that it was better to be the master of the family than to depend on others.

It seems that since the division of the sect, the family has been smoother all of a sudden.

This day, Shi Nai had just returned from the yamen, starting from the doorman, no matter if it was the accompanying servant or the servant girl, everyone was smiling at him.He laughed so hard that he couldn't figure it out, he couldn't help but stop, and asked Jin Bao who had been following him all the time: "Grandpa has flowers growing on his face?"

"Ah?" Jin Bao was stunned, and smiled, "What did the master say? How can there be flowers growing on people's faces?"

"Is that something wrong with my clothes?"

Jin Bao looked it up and down, "No, it's very neat."

"Then why are they laughing?"

Speaking of this, Jin Bao was also at a loss, and shook his head blankly, "I don't know the little one. The young one came in with the master. How about asking someone?"

Shi Nai shook his head, "Farewell, I'd better go ask my wife directly."

In this way, Shi Nai entered the main courtyard with a smiling face all the way.He slumped into the arch with one foot, and was spotted by the sharp-eyed maid.

"Ouch, the master is back!"

"Ma'am, the master is back!"

Immediately afterwards, the door curtain was lifted, and Yan came out with a happy face.

It could be seen that she wanted to walk quickly to Shi Nai's side, but she forcibly restrained herself, and her right hand was still protecting her abdomen intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing this, what else does Shi Nai not understand?

His son, Su Day is coming!

"Ma'am, don't go!" Shi Nai stopped her while staring at Yan Shi's stomach, and at the same time quickened his pace, quickly walked to Yan Shi, and stretched out his hand to support her.

Yan was startled, "Master already knows?" Then he became a little annoyed, "Didn't I order you not to tell Master, did I want to tell you personally?"

Who would dare to obey her and betray her to the master?

Shi Nai hurriedly said: "Madam, don't worry, no one told me, I guessed it myself."

Yan said angrily, "What are you doing so smart?"

The sky is big and the earth is big, and pregnant women are the biggest.Shi Nai quickly accompanied him, "It's my fault, it's my fault. I should wait for my wife to tell me."
