[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

"Jiao Da," Jia Daihua sat in the study, the first person he wanted to see was Jiao Da.Seeing him coming in response, he asked, "Is all the money exchanged?"

Jiao Da nodded and said: "Back to the master, everything has been exchanged. The slaves watched the storage. Let the slaves say that this bank note is really convenient, why bother to convert it into silver, and just take the bank note and go for a long time." convenient."

"What do you know?" Jia Daihua yelled at him, "Where does such a big bank come from in the northwest, and there is no place to cash it when you take out a bank note."

Jiao Da was surprised when he heard this: "Master wants to go back to the northwest?"

Jia Daihua nodded heavily: "Yes, I'm trying to go back to the northwest. If you stay here in Beijing, you won't be able to find out how your master died. You know that today your master took 20 taels of silver, Did you get something in exchange?"

Jiao Da smiled at Jia Daihua with a simple and honest face: "The slave is a fool, I don't know what the master got in exchange for 20 taels."

Yes, you are an idiot, but you know it yourself, and there is another idiot who doesn't know it.Jia Daihua also laughed: "Maybe it can be exchanged for an assassination, or maybe it can be exchanged for a chance to return to the Northwest in an open and honest manner."

Jiao Da was already in a hurry: "Who dares to assassinate the master?"

Jia Daihua tapped on the table lightly, signaling him to be safe and calm: "How many dead men are there in our Zhuangzi now? Does the emperor know about the existence of those dead men?"

"Before the master went to war, a total of 370 people were trained. In the past two years, he has trained 62 people. A total of 430 people. I heard from my father that when training dead soldiers, it was because my grandpa/grandfather encountered too many assassinations. , so that the two princes of the country practiced it quietly, to be used as a trump card. Tai/Grandpa told Emperor Sejong, but Emperor Sejong went too urgently and strangely, I am afraid that he did not have time to tell the emperor."

Jia Daihua nodded slightly after hearing this, and he also tended to think that the current emperor didn't know about the training of dead men by Ningrong and Rongfu—the existence of dead men and dark guards has always been a secret of the royal family and will not be recorded. The notes on daily life have been handed down orally by the emperors of all dynasties.After coming down from the Red Tower for several generations, Jia Daihua knew that there was a hidden guard beside the emperor, but his skill was not the same as that of the soldiers trained by the Jia family.

Regardless of whether the emperor knew it or not, Jia Daihua would never hand over this power.As for Jia Daishan, the emperor should want to win him over now, there is no danger for the time being, and he will divide him into a few people when he leaves the capital.

He will take away the rest, and take away the ones that are not left.

"Jiao Da." Jia Daihua's heart moved: "You try to get in touch with the families of the fallen soldiers and tell them that if there are children in the family who can't support them and want to join the army, we will take them over to support them."

"Master, don't we still have to go to the northwest, where are we taking people?" Jiao Da asked.

"Don't worry, it will be a few days before they have a letter for you. You can send a few more people to buy a few villages in remote places in Gansu and Shanxi, and the children will be taken there in the future." Give the banknote directly: "Don't be afraid to spend money, the place you choose can be biased, but it must be convenient to enter and exit."

Speaking of this, Jiao Da has confidence: "Master, don't worry, when it comes to putting up a blind eye, those boys in Zhuangzi have a way. Make sure that we can go in and out by ourselves, and others will still see it as a land without roads."

Intrigued by what he said, Jia Daihua thought of going to Zhuangzi himself to see the strangeness of the dead man.It's just that before he could go out the next day, he received the news that the Minister Zuo of the Ministry of War was going to visit Ningguo Mansion, so he delayed his trip.

The Ministry of War came here not for anything else, but also for the compensation of the fallen soldiers. They wanted to explain to him why the money had not been distributed to the family members for a long time.Jia Daihua was not polite this time:

"It has been more than three months since I returned to Beijing, and it took more than a month to go back and forth on the way. In other words, it has been five months since the battle against Beirong. Such a long time is to reincarnate 5000 people , Is it enough? The Ministry of War has not drawn out the compensation money. This is to let those dead soldiers meet their relatives on the Naihe Bridge? Lord Shangshu, Jia Daihua has nothing to say."

You have nothing to say and you still say so much!The Minister of the Ministry of War's face turned blue and purple, but he couldn't refute Jia Daihua's words, so he could only tell him about the difficulties of the court with an apologetic smile.Jia Daihua quietly listened to him, which meant that the senior said "oh" and there was no more to say.

The next step is to sit quietly, as if to compare who has the best patience.The Minister of the Ministry of War was really embarrassed, and before sitting for a quarter of an hour, he talked about the difficulties of the court again.

Jia Daihua said again, sighing as if understanding, and finally stopped sitting awkwardly, but smiled politely at the Minister of the Ministry of War: "Master Shangshu is not easy."

The Minister of the Ministry of War couldn't hold back, he sighed with Jia Daihua, immediately remembered his mission, and smiled awkwardly: "Thank you, Uncle Ning Yuan, for your understanding. I just ask Uncle Ning Yuan to pass the exam, and don't let everyone know about it." good."

Jia Daihua shook his head helplessly: "I am fully aware of Master Shangshu's difficulties. If you had told me a month ago, I would not have written to my subordinates in the Northwest." , eight springs too late.

The face of the minister of the Ministry of War changed: "What did Ning Yuanbo say in the letter?"

Jia Daihua looked innocent: "It's just that those subordinates were concerned about my injury and wrote to greet me. I mentioned the news that the court will soon provide compensation to the families of soldiers and soldiers by the way in my reply."

The Minister of the Ministry of War calculated that a month ago was already after the Great Court Meeting.At that time, everyone wanted to prevent Jia Daihua from donating silver for pensions, but each court had its own regulations, but no one clearly stated the implementation time of this regulation, and it usually took a year later.

The news was so explosive that the Minister of the Ministry of War had no choice but to bid farewell to Jia Daihua, and handed over a sign to the palace to report to the emperor.The emperor was even more concerned, without asking, he knew that this was someone from the northwest writing to Jia Daihua. He knew that the court had not yet distributed the compensation money, and was refused to donate the money to the Ministry of War, so he carried the money directly to the Ministry of Households .

The face really hurts.If the emperor who is rich all over the world, if he is not still young, he would not be vomiting blood by Jia Daihua's series of tricks.Of course, it’s not much better now, he can’t scold Jia Daihua for donating money, but he can scold the two ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs, asking why these two people didn’t pay the pension sooner, and he has to let Jia Daihua take the blame , making people feel that he, as the father of a monarch, does not care about the life and death of the family members of the fallen warriors.

With such a reputation spread, will there be anyone who will work for him in the future? !

The two ministers couldn't answer such a profound question, so they could only kneel down and apologize to the emperor.When the imperial court pulled out the pension money at an unprecedented speed, Jia Daihua had already sat in the village where the dead were trained, and called people to come to him one by one in front of the roster.

He wanted to take a look at all these people, and he also needed to know what these dead men were good at, so that he could take the next step.

More than 400 people cannot be seen in one day. Jia Daihua simply lived in Zhuangzi and exercised his body in a planned way.At the beginning, Jiao Da was worried that his injury would be unbearable, and he didn't want Jia Daihua to follow the training for a few days without any sign of falling behind, which made Jiao Da and others very impressed.

"Ask A and ten people to come here." Jia Daihua ordered Jiao Da.The dead men trained in Zhuangzi are arranged according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches, with the heavenly stems in the front and the earthly branches in the back, ten in each order, and the higher the ranking, the longer the training time in Zhuangzi.

After the arrival of the ten Jia characters, they all knelt down on one leg and saluted Jia Daihua.Jia Daihua didn't speak, just looked at their bent knee.Jiao Da went up to Jiayi's still erect calf and kicked him: "When I met the master, I couldn't even give a full salute. It's against you."

Jiayi has been training for a long time, and he has been in the Zhuangzi for a while, and he is a little stunned: "The Duke of the country taught us back then, except for missions, non-sages are not allowed to give full rites, so as not to mess up the status."

Jiao Da squirted at him: "You are in Zhuangzi, eating, drinking, and using the master's, teaching you to be omnipotent from a little beggar under ten years old, and the master can't bear you alone!" Full ceremony? You want to be a saint who performs full ceremony, but a tael of silver hasn't been spent on you."

All the A-character generation were stunned, which was different from what they said when they swore at first.Jia Daihua waited for them to digest it for a while before he said slowly: "The fourth rule of the Zhuang Xun, the person who has been trained will be sent by the owner to various places to recognize the master. Once he recognizes the master, he will never go back on his word, but?"

Ten people responded in a deep and forceful voice: "Yes!"

Jia Daihua smiled slightly: "Now that you have successfully trained, I want you to recognize me as the master, will you recognize me or not?"

To be able to do so unexpectedly, the people of the A generation looked at each other, waiting for A to make up his mind.Jia Daihua said slowly again: "The fifth rule of Zhuang Xun, once you recognize the master, you have nothing to do with Zhuang Zi, and you are not allowed to have any contact with the people in the village. Have you all forgotten?" Anyone, including people of the same generation who were trained at the same time !

People like A and the others lowered their heads, and the other knee, which was pointing firmly at the sky just now, finally fell to the ground: "Generation A pays homage to the master."

Only then did Jia Daihua nod in satisfaction: "You recognize me as master, and from today onwards, you will follow me to protect my safety." The class A said to Jia Daihua neatly: "The character Jia is the master. Go through fire and water and never hesitate."

"You don't need to go through fire and water," said Jia Daihua. He knew that these people had recognized the Lord, and the possibility of rebellion was not very high. They had been brainwashed for more than 20 years, and their loyalty was already engraved in their minds.

It’s just that these people have stayed in Zhuangzi for too long, and they have learned a lot, but it’s a pity that they are all on paper, and they have to go through some things: “Jiao Da, find someone to take them to the capital first and lead them to eat and drink. Have fun, memorize the topography of Beijing, and tell them who to go to when encountering any problems."

Jiao Da grinned after hearing this: "Why don't the servants take them there, this is a good job."

Jia Daihua took a look at him, let out the ten members of Jia Zi, and met all the 100 members of Tiangan in turn.It must be unrealistic for so many people to be taken out of Zhuangzi at once, and it would be unrealistic for people from Ningguo Mansion to lead them around the capital, so Jiao Da went back to the mansion to pick people up and disperse them to the prefectures and counties around Gyeonggi.

One letter every few days and how to contact in an emergency are all taught by Zhuangzi, so Jia Daihua doesn't have to worry about it.Now what he wants to ask Jiao Da is: "How many medical girls have Dr. Xu trained?"

"Returning to the master, there are a total of ten female doctors who can see the doctor alone, and five more are in training."

"Well, the ten who can see a doctor alone will be sent to two people in the mansion, and the remaining eight will follow the T-shaped people to the counties of Gyeonggi Province." Jia Daihua is not needed to treat people while walking. confessed.

"Also," Jia Daihua continued to explain to Jiao Da: "Early branches of all generations can go farther, and orphans with good bones can be taken in."

"Master, the past two years have not been very good. There are many orphans in various places. If they are all taken in, I'm afraid..." It will cost a lot of money.

Jia Daihua shook his head: "Just keep what you can, your master still has some money." Is this Jiao Da so good at living?

After hearing this, Jiao Da stopped talking too much. If the master can tell him this confession, he will know what to do.

Then, all those who were not in the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches were asked to retreat, and they had to disperse and go farther, just in time for Jiao Da to go to Ganshan to buy Zhuangzi.They also have the task of taking in orphans, but Jia Daihua specifically confessed that before taking them in, they must ask the wishes of the orphans.

You can't raise hatred with good intentions. After you teach others your skills, others will come to assassinate him, the person who gave them money to support them.

It took half a month to sort out the miscellaneous things, and waiting for the people in the village to withdraw one after another. Jia Daihua took Jiao Da and two medical girls back to the mansion - the Jia-character generation was arranged by him to an unremarkable dilapidated house in the south city. In the house.

When Mrs. Lin heard that he was back, she sent Jia Fu to greet him outside the gate of the mansion. Seeing the two medical girls, the child's face visibly froze.Jia Daihua had always been careful, but he didn't break the child's mind, and told Jiao Da: "Take the green branch to see your wife. The red leaves stay in the study outside."

Jia Fu quietly glanced at Jia Daihua, then lowered his head again, put away the excitement of seeing Jia Daihua, and silently followed him into the outer study.Liu Qing hurried up to fetch water for Jia Daihua to freshen up. He first told Hongye: "Take the pulse of Brother Fu, and let me know the result later."

The child opened and closed his mouth, sat obediently on the chair, put his little arms on the table, let Hongye diagnose the left pulse and then the right pulse, and muttered something, he couldn't hear clearly .

"How is Brother Fu?" Jia Daihua asked calmly after sitting down.

Hong Ye bowed: "Master asked me to take the young master's pulse, so I am worried about the young master's body. I am not good at learning, so I only found out that the young master's pulse is calm and strong, and there is nothing wrong with it." After speaking, her face was a little ashamed , I was very annoyed that I didn't diagnose Jia Fu's illness.

Jia Fu, who has been in poor health since he was a child, did feel that his body has become much lighter during this time, but no doctor said in front of him that his body has recovered.Today the master brought back this woman with medical skills that has already surprised him, and said that he is in good health, whether it is true or not, it is enough to excite the child.

"Master, I also feel that my body is much more relaxed. I am not so tired after running laps according to the master's instructions these days. That is, I just eat a little too much." When Jia Fu said the last sentence, he was a little embarrassed He took a look at Jia Daihua—it's a rule of thumb that he can't eat more than three chopsticks. If he has to eat three bowls of rice for a meal like this, he will be called a rice bucket.

Jia Daihua felt very satisfied, he used the repairing fluid for Jia Fu, but also used it drop by drop quietly, and didn't dare to let him recover too quickly.This time he left the city for more than half a month, and asked Hongye to take his pulse, just to see how the child is doing without the repair solution.

If there is no accident, this will be his only son in the world of Red Mansions. As for Jia Jing, the tool man in his previous life, he should find another place to reincarnate.

"It's a blessing to be able to eat, as long as your body is healthy, no matter how much you eat, the master will be able to support you." Jia Daihua made a rare joke with Jia Fu, turning the child's face red, looking at Jia Daihua Eyes, but a lot closer.

"Master, the wife is also worried about the master." Jia Fu said cautiously. The master went to the Zhuangzi before his legs healed. He said it was self-cultivation, but the wife was always worried. Sometimes the wife shed tears quietly, and he saw it in his eyes. .

Seeing the anticipation in his timid little eyes, Jia Daihua nodded, stood up by himself, took Jia Fu's little hand, and walked towards the inner courtyard.Jia Fu felt as if he had stepped into a cotton field, every step was taken by himself, but every step was so vain and unreal.

The master took his hand, the master was holding his hand!From childhood to adulthood, the master has always been strict, not to mention holding hands, it is a blessing to see him not lower his face and scold him.Now, the master took his hand and walked all the way to the main room!

Mrs. Lin also saw the father and son following each other, and also saw the son's blushing face and uncomfortable expression.As the mother who watched him grow up, Mrs. Lin knew that although her son had an awkward expression, she must be very happy in her heart.

As long as her son is happy, Mrs. Lin will put her unhappiness behind her.For so many years, the master likes fresh and tender girls, and she has gotten used to it. She was also angry that the master did not take care of her body. He went to the village to recuperate and brought two people back.

"Where is the green branch?" Jia Daihua, who was not at all self-conscious about being lustful, asked the medical girl he brought back.

The greeting Mrs. Lin was about to say suddenly got stuck in her throat, and Jia Fu also slowly took his little hand from Jia Daihua, and both of them looked at him without speaking.

Luzhi standing under the porch heard the master calling him, and without waiting for other girls to stop him, he picked up the curtain to come in, and knelt down directly: "Slave Luzhi, I pay my respects to the master."

"En." Jia Daihua didn't let her get up, and told her directly: "In the future, you will follow your wife. The body and safety of your wife and brother Fu will be entrusted to you. Maybe you will keep your wife and brother Fu safe?"

Lu Zhi didn't speak, but turned her knees sideways and kowtowed to Mrs. Lin: "Slave Lu Zhi, 17 years old this year, will serve the master in the future and obey the master's orders."

Mrs. Lin and Jia Fu looked at Jia Daihua in bewilderment, why did this person just stuff him like this?

Jia Daihua nodded to Mrs. Lin: "This girl's medical skills were trained by Dr. Xu, and she is passable. No matter where the wife goes in the future, let her follow her. Let her have a look at the food and use before using it. .”

Jia Fu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "This sister is the same as the one in the study..."

Jia Daihua shook his head at him: "Wrong, you are her little master, call her by her name. In the future in our house, the master will be the master, and the slave will be the slave. You don't need to be polite to them, and you don't need to call a slave your name." Brother calls sister."

Only then did Mrs. Lin regain her voice: "Master, you mean, this girl is for me?"

"It's not for your mothers. What should I bring her back to the house for?" Jia Daihua thought Mrs. Lin's question was very strange.

Mrs. Lin could only smile: "I thought the old man was boring living in the country, so I bought two girls to relieve the boredom."

You can forget it.Jia Daihua shook his head helplessly, knowing that the original body's credit in this aspect is estimated to be a negative number, so he can only slowly change other people's perceptions.He said to Mrs. Lin: "You don't know how my body is. What time is it now? How can I have such thoughts." He waved his hands to let Luzhi go out.

Luzhi didn't go far, just stood outside the curtain, looking at the girls on the corridor vigilantly, seeing that everyone was uncomfortable walking farther, and then guarded the door with confidence.

Jia Daihua whispered to Mrs. Lin: "I'm afraid there will be no peace in our house in the future. Apart from medical skills, that girl also has some kung fu. Madam must take her with her when she goes out."

Mrs. Lin's face was a little pale when she said a word, and Jia Fu also looked at Jia Daihua nervously and said nothing.Jia Daihua knew he was frightening them, but he had to remind them, lest someone plot against his backyard at some point:

"I may leave Beijing in a few days, and I don't know when I will be able to return home. No matter what others say, you don't have to pay attention to it. If there is something difficult to solve, let Luzhi tell Hongye, and Daishan will help you."

Mrs. Lin became uneasy when she heard this, and asked: "Master's injury is not healed yet, so he is going back to the northwest?" will ask.

Jia Daihua nodded and said: "It's not that I want to go back to the northwest, it's that someone wants to trap me in the northwest." Seeing that their mothers were both pale with fright, they pulled Jia Fu over and said, "After I leave Beijing, you just stay here." Study with Mr. Shi in the mansion, if you don't go out, don't go out, take care of your body, don't let your wife worry, understand?"

With such gentle words, Jia Fu couldn't help but nodded, and after nodding, he asked: "Master must go, who must drive him out of Beijing?"

Hearing the child's worry, Jia Daihua's heart also warmed up. This cheap son has not been with him for a long time, and he still has a feeling of admiration for him, which makes Jia Daihua want to say something more to him:

"When you have read a lot of books, you will know that there is a saying called the master of merit."

"Master." Mrs. Lin yelled disapprovingly, thinking that Jia Daihua could not instill such thoughts in Jia Fu so early.If the child accidentally reveals something outside, the Ningguo Mansion will be in danger.
