General of the Red Chamber

Lu Yin looked at the man in front of the window who was concentrating on wiping his sword. Although he was wearing ordinary clothes, the cold air in his body couldn't be stopped. He couldn't help but think of the first time the two met, the man in front of him was still very Young, led the army to fight against the Di clan, but lost his way in the desert. At that time, he had just escaped from the Di clan. He named himself Lu Yin and gave him his status.I remember asking him once why he believed in himself so much at the beginning, but he said two words "eyes" calmly

For a long time, Lu Yin didn't know what Qin Fan saw in his eyes that made him believe in him so much, but over the years, Lu Yin saw trust in Qin Fan's eyes, a kind of completely reassuring trust, This made Lu Yin feel that the value of his existence was to wait for his master and dedicate his last bit of strength to his master until the end of his life.

"Lu Yin" After wiping the Qingming sword, Qin Fan returned the sword to the scabbard, hung it in a corner of the study, and called out faintly, but unexpectedly got no response. Turning around to look, he was surprised to find that he had been cautiously It was unprecedented for Lu Yin to be in a daze.

Although Qin Fan couldn't bear to disturb Lu Yin, but he really wanted to know what was going on with that matter, so he could only say "Lu Yin" loudly.

It was only now that Lu Yin came back to his senses, and realized that he was distracted in front of his master, and he felt a little guilty. He was the master's personal bodyguard, so he was really incompetent.Quickly knelt down towards Qin Fan, and said, "General, Lu Yin has neglected his duties, please punish him, General."

Qin Fan smiled lightly and said, "It's okay," and he didn't ask Lu to cause it. He knew that the concept of hierarchy in this world was too deep-rooted. If he gave way to Lu and caused it, he would wipe his neck with guilt.Walking to the table, picked up a painting, opened it, took a look, and said silently, "How about the news I asked you?"

Seeing that his master was not angry, Lu Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and replied respectfully, "General, the hidden guards sent out said that Master Lin's side is not looking good. Let someone inform Miss Lin who lives in the Rongguo Mansion." Although I don't know why my general pays so much attention to a person who has no relationship with him at all, I can be sure that when I mentioned Miss Lin just now, my master's eyes flickered.

Qin Fan's heart moved slightly. In the original book, Lin Ruhai would indeed die of illness early, but he did not expect that such a sudden, crystal-like fragile person would be extremely sad. Thinking of this, he became annoyed again, why is she so old? She is so young, if she reaches the marriageable age, she can marry her and take care of her in every possible way, so that she will not be wronged in the slightest.

Thinking of this, Qin Fan couldn't hold back any longer. If Lin Ruhai died, it would be even more difficult to deal with in the future. Regardless of her age, let's settle down first, lest Jia's family rely on her being her elder. home, and something bad happens.

Having made a decision in my heart, I didn't want to delay for a moment, turned around leisurely, led the way, "Get the horses ready, and we can set off" and walked to the door, getting ready to pack.

Lu Yin asked puzzledly, "General, where are we going?" But his master only left himself with a rushing back, and added the word "Yangzhou" with ````

In the night, the side door of General Zhenwei's mansion opened, and the two horses galloped vigorously. After a while, they disappeared into the night, and the side door was closed peacefully, as if nothing had happened.

Yangzhou, Jiangsu

On the Xunyan Yushilin's mansion, the lights in the study room are still on at the moment, three or two waiters are standing outside the room, listening to the movement in the room worriedly, after a while, a slightly fat official's appearance The man came to the study, and the servant saw him and respectfully said, "Hello, Steward Lin."

Butler Lin didn't go in either. He stood at the door and listened to the movement inside, and whispered, "How long has the master been in, have you ever used medicine?"

A thin young guy in a servant's uniform said, "Master went in after taking a nap in the afternoon and didn't come out. Mother Wang brought soup and medicine in, and said she didn't drink it, so she let it out."

Lin Zong stood at the door for a while, and when he heard the constant coughing inside, he became worried, hesitated for a while, and said, "Master, this slave is Lin Zong, and I have something to report."

"Cough cough" Lin Ruhai coughed uncomfortably, and gradually there was a rusty taste in his mouth. He took a look at the handkerchief covering his mouth, and it was already stained with blood. After a moment of silence, he put the handkerchief aside and continued. Looking at the account book, I heard Lin Zong's voice outside. After thinking about it, I said uncomfortablely, "Cough cough, cough, come in."

When Lin Zong came in, Lin Ruhai was sitting silently on the soft couch, but looking at the mountain of ledgers on the table, he knew that his master must have been busy all afternoon, since his wife passed away, the master did not cherish his body Seeing that my body is getting worse and worse, and I don’t listen to the advice of others, hey`````

"Master, according to your order, all the shops in the mansion have been sold, and those that should be settled outside have also been closed, and all the servants above the Zhuangzi have also been sent away. Only two of the twelve Zhuangzi are left for the clan. Check it out, and exchange the rest into cash. The total is 80 taels." Lin Zong took out the bank note from his arms and handed it to Lin Ruhai.

"Well, that's it," Lin Ruhai took it over, looking at the bank notes in his hand, feeling a little desolate, "These are the property accumulated by generations of ancestors. I have sold them all, I am really ashamed of my ancestors."

"Master" Lin Zong wanted to comfort him, but he felt that he didn't know what to say. He only wished that the heavens were not fair. The master is such a good person, why he doesn't have a son to inherit, and the young lady's body is also so weak.

"Lin Zong, if I go, you will guard at the mansion, and you can be regarded as Yu'er's natal family. If the Jia mansion wants the money, you don't want to keep it. I only hope that they will see it for the sake of the money. In the future, don’t treat Yu’er badly.” Myself and Min’er are just such a child, and I only hope that her life will be safe in the future.

"Master, don't think so, your health will get better, Miss is still so young, I can't leave you." Lin Zong couldn't help but wiped away his tears.

"Life and death are up to you, you can't force it. Cough cough" Lin Ruhai clutched his chest in pain. Seeing this, Lin Zong hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Master, how are you? I will send someone to invite Dr. Li over here."

Lin Ruhai grabbed Lin Zong's sleeve, waved his hands, calmed down for a while, looked at Lin Zong's anxious expression, and said calmly, "Don't ask for a doctor, I know by myself, when can Yu'er arrive?" , I look forward to seeing her for the last time."

Lin Zong endured the discomfort in his heart and said, "The Rongguo Mansion has sent a letter, and we can arrive in just two days."

"That's all right, ahem, it's getting late, you should go back and rest, tomorrow, let the servants clean up Yu'er's room, and the yard at home should be more energetic, the child is sensitive, don't let her Touching the scene hurts." Lin Ruhai struggled to stand up, and Lin Zong stepped forward to support him, "Don't worry, it will be done properly."

The next morning at the gate of the Lin Mansion, the servants of the Lin Mansion had just opened the door, and the servants on both sides stood up. It was expected that today it would be as deserted as before, but after a short while, they heard "Da The sound of hoofbeats, and then two fine horses stopped at the door, and two men got off the horses. They all looked to be in their early twenties, but one of them was a handsome young man in royal blue robes. His demeanor was quite good, and one could tell that he was a noble person. The two servants had never seen such a handsome and handsome person before, and they were stunned. When they woke up, the visitor had already walked in front of him.A young servant boldly asked, "May I ask you what your name is?"

The corners of the lips of the man in the royal blue clothes were slightly curled up, "Please tell Master Lin, please tell me that Qin Fan in the capital is asking to see you."

The boy naturally didn't know who Qin Fan was, but he heard that he was from the capital, and seeing the aura, he guessed that it must be an honored guest, respectfully said, "Please wait a moment, sir, I will go to inform you" and hurried to the door run.

"Ahem, who do you think is it?" Lin Ruhai was too sick to get out of bed at this time, leaning back on the bed, the servants were serving the medicine,

Standing in front of the bed, Lin Zong bowed and said, "The guard at the door said that someone called himself Qin Fan from the capital. This servant sounds familiar to me, but I just didn't remember who it was for a while."

Lin Ruhai naturally knew who Qin Fan was. A few years ago, his name had been widely circulated among civil servants and generals. The deeds of this person were often mentioned in the correspondence, but how could such a high-level and far-sighted person come to his house, Lin Ruhai had no time to think about it, and was about to struggle. Unexpectedly, his limbs were weak, and thinking of his own body, Instead, he offended the guests.He hurriedly said, "It's General Qin, Lin Zong, hurry up and ask General Qin to come in,"

"Yes, master, the slave will go right away." Lin Zong hurried outside after listening to the order without delay.

Asked the servants to tidy up their hair and clothes. After waiting for a while, they saw Lin Zong leading a man in. Because of the light behind his back, he couldn't see the appearance of the man clearly. He has a tall and straight posture, broad shoulders and straight waist, and is quite energetic. When someone came up to him, Lin Ruhai didn't have time to look at it carefully before he heard a warm voice saying, "Your junior Qin Fan has met Mr. Lin."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said, "General Qin is too polite, it's the lower officials who are supposed to salute, but General Qin is like this, the lower officials have no place to be ashamed."

Qin Fan stood up straight, smiled at Lin Ruhai and said, "Master Lin has served the country all his life, so he naturally deserves this gift."

Only now did Lin Ruhai get a clear look at the person who came. He saw narrow and long eyeliner, a pair of starry eyes, and slightly raised eyebrows. He looked full of heroism, but he did not have the pride of a high-ranking person. Instead, he looked gentle and polite. Rao Lin Ruhai I have seen so many characters in half my life, and none of them can compare to the one in front of me.

Qin Fan knew that Lin Ruhai was sizing him up, so he didn't say a word, and let him watch. He wasn't worried that his father-in-law would look down on him in the future, but he was worried that Lin Ruhai would commit the common fault of all father-in-laws by refusing to try to rob him. The outsider of the baby girl.

When Lin Ruhai came back to his senses, he felt that he was being impolite, and said apologetically, "The official was stunned for a while, it was really impolite."

Qin Fan was naturally not annoyed, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty Lin, you don't have to be so constrained, just treat me like a junior. Besides, Mr. Qin has kindly invited you here this time."

Hearing Qin Fan's words, Lin Ruhai wondered how he could help this great general who had power over the government and the public, but he didn't dare to ask, feeling his body slipped a little, wanting to Struggling to sit upright, but his body was weak, Qin Fan quickly stepped forward to help Lin Ruhai to sit up, and thoughtfully took a pillow and put it behind Lin Ruhai's back, now Lin Ruhai felt much more comfortable.

"Ahem, I don't know if there is anything I need to serve as an official. If I can do it, I will do my best." Lin Ruhai clenched his fist and put it to his mouth to block his cough.

Rao Qin Fan had already made preparations, and it was the first time the eldest girl got on the sedan chair, so she felt a little uneasy, took a deep breath, and said, "My surname is Qin Dan, the name is a common character, the character is Yuzhi, the age is 23, His ancestral home is Luoyang, Henan. He has an old father and no brothers. He is now a first-rank General Zhenwei in the imperial court. He has fertile farmland and shops in his family. He has never married a wife.”

Lin Ruhai was in a fog now, he didn't know why the general was talking about his own situation when he opened his mouth, and he didn't know how to continue, so he looked at Qin Fan fixedly.

"Uh, I don't know what Mr. Lin thinks about Qin's conditions," Qin Fan pretended to be calm.

Lin Ruhai was puzzled. Could it be that the general was showing off himself?It doesn't look like such an exaggerated person.Naturally, he said truthfully, "General Qin is a young hero, and Lin admires him so much. It's hard to find someone as outstanding as General Qin in the world."

When Qin Fan heard this, he was naturally overjoyed, and decided, "Then if Qin asks to marry Ling Qianjin, what does Master Lin think?" After speaking, he anxiously waited for a reply.

"Cough, cough, cough," Lin Ruhai couldn't catch his breath after hearing this, and coughed uncontrollably. Qin Fan helped to ease the breathing, and it got better.

"Here, did General Qin know the little girl before?" Lin Ruhai's question is based on reason. Both of them are in the imperial capital, and it is not possible to say when they met inadvertently. Otherwise, it is really impossible to understand that a senior The influential elites in Beijing will seek for a woman who has never been masked for no reason. What's more, compared with the elites in Beijing, I really have nothing worthy of marrying the other party.

Qin Fan just wanted to say that he had never seen him before, but after thinking about it, it was not reasonable, he turned around in his heart, and then smiled and said, "To tell the truth, I have met once by accident, but the lady didn't see Qin. But Qin really admires him, so he came here to ask Mr. Lin to marry him."

Lin Ruhai is naturally quite satisfied with the young man in front of him, but he just thinks that his daughter is young and has only met once, and if he finds that he has no feelings after getting married, then his daughter will not be able to rely on her. This person has a high position and authority. In the future, there will be groups of concubines and concubines. Her own daughters are pure in nature, so I am afraid it will be difficult for her to survive in the inner chamber.

"General Qin, my daughter is young, I'm afraid the general will think about it" Lin Ruhai said frankly

Qin Fan has always been good at judging people, so Lin Ruhai's concerns are naturally seen in his eyes, knowing that if he can't let him know his sincerity at this time, I'm afraid he would rather offend himself, a "powerful person", than accept this marriage .Thinking of this, Qin Fan stood up, stood in front of Lin Ruhai, and fell to his knees with a "bang".

Where did Lin Ruhai think that Qin Fan would act like this, he felt like he was struggling to get up and help Qin Fan, "General Qin please get up quickly, isn't this a disgruntled official?"

Qin Fan stretched out his hand to block Lin Ruhai, and said solemnly, "Qin left home at the age of 15, was appointed as an official at the age of 16, and became a first-rank general at the age of 23. It's not that Qin is smarter than others, but that Qin is smarter than others." His ambition is firm, and he treats his future as well as his wife. Although Qin Mou is twenty-three, he is not young in the eyes of others, but Qin Mou knows what he wants, so he has never taken concubines or arranged for a concubine. The house girl and even the brothel have never been to the door. Qin is determined to be a couple for the rest of his life. In this life, he will be her. Although he has only met the daughter of your family once, but Qin believes in his heart that it is her. , there is no need to change it, and I hope Lord Lin will make it happen."

After speaking, he looked at Lin Ruhai with firm eyes, only waiting for Lin Ruhai's reply.

Lin Ruhai looked at the man in front of him in shock. His back was straight and his eyes were firm, showing that his decision at this time was a promise made by an upright man.It should be said that Lin Ruhai was shocked. As a man, even if he loves his wife Jia Min deeply, he can't be like the man in front of him for a lifetime. However, the man's eyes told him that he should believe him.

"Ahem, you are telling the truth." Lin Ruhai asked while enduring the torture of illness.

"The thing that loves you, the thing that dreams hold, will definitely protect her for the rest of her life," the man replied firmly, his deep pupils shining brightly at this moment.

"Okay, I believe what you said. I will entrust her life to you. This is a token." Then he took out a piece of black jade under the pillow and handed it to the man. The man took it and held it in his hand. Here, Fang Buddha held the most precious thing in the world in his hands like a treasure, and then the corner of his mouth happily raised "Thank you, father-in-law."
