Drunken Red Mansion: Melting into Jade Madness

Wuzhou, Baoyun Bureau, the sub-location of the Beijing Mint Bureau of the Celestial Dynasty.

Jia Baoyu came here with only his original servant Mingyan in his clothes.

It turned out that this man named Mingyan was very loyal. Although Jia's mansion fell and he had a family to return to, he knew that Baoyu and others were staying at Grandma Liu's house in the countryside. From time to time, he would send some food and drink Go, now, Jia Baoyu high school, has obtained the imperial order, works as a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, and also has to go out for inspections, so he followed, first, to take care of Jia Baoyu's life, and second, to take care of him. master.

"Second Master, should we go directly to that Governor Sha or..."

Jia Baoyu waved his hand, "Don't let him know we're here for the time being." Squinting his eyes slightly, he glanced at Baoyun Bureau, who was close at hand, "Prince Xi received a secret report that Sha Wuji had embezzled copper mines. , Suspected of degrading and selling the southern barbarians privately, now, although it is clearly stated that I am here to inspect the copper mine, secretly, in fact, I want to check the bottom of this Sha Wuji."

"If something really happens to him..." Mingyan glanced at Baoyu worriedly, "Second Master doesn't have many people with him, how will you take him then?"

Jia Baoyu smiled, "You don't have to worry about this, I have a token."

"Token?"

"Prince Xi gave me a token to mobilize Lord Ye Hanjiang, the commander-in-chief here, so you don't have to worry."

"I'm worried, if the second master doesn't hurry up and stop the matter here, I'm afraid, I won't be able to go back to the capital in February next year, and if I don't go back to the capital, I won't be able to go back to the countryside. The second grandma..."

"Although Lan'er is not very much in the village, sister-in-law and Yun'er are there, as well as Grandma Liu, so don't worry."

Hearing this, Mingyan smacked his mouth and silenced.

Jia Baoyu looked around, squinting at an inn in the distance marked 'Shui Tian Yi Se', raised his finger, "The name of that inn is still novel, and it's close to here, we'll stay there for now .”

Mingyan looked up, nodded, led the horse, followed Baoyu, and prepared to go towards the inn.

However, the three words 'Second Brother' sounded behind him almost knocked Baoyu out of his wits, Huo Di turned around, and pointed excitedly at the young master in blue robe in front of him with trembling fingers, "You, you, you!"

"Second brother!"

The blue-robed young man walked to Jia Baoyu's side with a pretty smile, "It's been a long time, how is the second brother?"

"Frown, frown..." Seeing that the blue-robed young man put his finger on his lips, he understood that he wanted him to silence, Baoyu looked around, and pulled the blue-robed young man to a place where there was no one else, " You, aren't you sick and have been recuperating in the palace?"

"It's hard to explain in one word." The blue-robed young man sighed, "It's too much to talk about, stop, and I'll tell you carefully."

"Good, good, good!" Tears welled up in Jia Baoyu's eyes, he wiped them with his hands, and looked in the direction of 'Water and Sky One Color', "I plan to live there, and you will follow me, okay? "

The blue-robed young man smiled and shook his head, "I can't live there."

"Can't you live?"

"There is Sha Wuji's stronghold." The blue-robed young man took Jia Baoyu's hand, "I came to Wuzhou earlier than my second brother, and I have already found out everything that my second brother wants to know. Come, follow me!" , took Jia Baoyu's hand and headed towards the west of the city.

Mingyan silently followed behind Jia Baoyu. Although he didn't see the face of the blue-robed young man clearly, there was a trace of familiarity, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Besides, the blue-robed young man had a big belly and a swollen figure. It was so extreme that he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

After walking for about an hour, he suddenly turned left and right, and unexpectedly reached the edge of the mountain near the west of the city. Looking up, he saw a thatched house at the foot of the mountain, and a courtyard with a bamboo fence in front of the house. In the chaimen of the yard, all kinds of chrysanthemums appeared in front of Jia Baoyu in an instant.

"Second brother, my sister suggests that you'd better live here."

"here?"

Mingyan had already heard the word 'little sister', and then opened her eyes wide, staring at the young man in blue robe in front of her, "You, you... Miss Lin?" Then, she knelt down abruptly, "Greetings to the princess!"

"What kind of concubine is not a concubine?" Daiyu smiled, and helped Mingyan up, "If you really treat me as a concubine, you must not reveal a word about my being here."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ming Yan hurriedly nodded.

Daiyu looked at Mingyan with a smile, "Just in time, a helper is here, and I'm feeling strenuous." Rubbing her stomach, "It's all right now, someone will help with the cooking, so we won't be hungry Stomach."

"You!" Jia Baoyu pointed at Daiyu, as if in a dream, everything was a little unbelievable.

"Come on, Second Brother." Daiyu held Jia Baoyu's hand, "I'll tell you everything about me." Then she looked in Mingyan's direction, "Tie the horse in the courtyard, and then go cook some food." , there is everything in the house, there is no need to buy it, lest people hear your foreign accent."

Mingyan grew up in Jia's mansion since she was a child, and she was extremely clever. Just now Baoyu said those words to him again, and she understood that his and Baoyu's whereabouts should not be revealed, so she hurriedly tied up the horse as Daiyu said. Then I went into the house and went to cook.

When she came to sit in the shade of the flowers, Daiyu smiled and pointed at the chrysanthemums that were about to wither, "It will be November soon, and these flowers will all be withered."

"I still remember that in those days, the "Ode to Chrysanthemum", "Ask Chrysanthemum" and "Dream of Chrysanthemum" won the first place among chrysanthemums." Baoyu also looked at the chrysanthemum in front of him with a smile, "but, now, what I want to know is, Why are you here?"

"I escaped from the Beijing Palace."

Jia Baoyu stood up abruptly, eyes wide open, "You... ran away again?"

"Huh..." Daiyu looked at Jia Baoyu with a smile, "Second brother, how do you know that I ran away again?"

Baoyu seemed very helpless and looked at Daiyu, "You know, I recognized you in Xiangguo Temple, and I know that you are the head of Lin Da." Then, with a sigh, he sat down, "So, later , Prince Bei said to go to Xifan to save you, and ordered you to accompany him as an imperial doctor. Later, it was said that Imperial Doctor Lin’s blood was splashed on Xifan and Prince Bei successfully rescued the princess. I knew it, I’m afraid, all of this , it was all done by Prince Bei in order to restore your true body."

"Second brother, so smart!" Daiyu smiled innocently at Baoyu, "In this way, I don't need to explain to my second brother."

"It's just that what I don't understand is...how did you become Lin Yu?"

Can you tell me the secret?cannot!

Can it be said that it is too empty?also can not!

Can you repay your kindness with tears?just can not!

"Every time I want to go out of the garden or go out for business, Xueyan will pretend to be me. If I go out for a long time, Xueyan will pretend to be sick, so..."

Baoyu suddenly realized, "No wonder, when you are sick, you don't see anyone, you just lie in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. No wonder, you always see Zijuan rushing in and out for you, and you think you have neglected Xueyan. I don't want to, Xue The wild goose pretends to be you, how can I get close to you?"

"That's right, that's how it is. So, later on, the sisters in the garden thought that Zijuan and I had a better relationship. In fact, Xueyan and I are the sisters who never leave." , Daiyu was a little jealous, "I just don't want to, Xueyan girl, she is a beautiful girl!"

"Okay!" Jia Baoyu patted Daiyu's hand, "Tell me, this time, why did you run away again? I heard that Prince Bei studies medical books every night in his study, looking forward to your return." Get better soon."

"Don't mention him." Daiyu pouted angrily, "He's a big carrot!"

"Huh?" Baoyu frowned slightly, after all, he didn't understand what she meant.

"Anyway, he's not good."

Hearing this, Baoyu sighed lightly, and understood that she was probably jealous. After all, I heard that Mo Zitong, the concubine of Beijing Jing, was pregnant. If she was really jealous, then she... must be caring about him that's it.

"Second brother, how is second sister-in-law?"

Baoyu nodded, "It's just that Lian Er's sister-in-law, a month ago, already... already returned to her hometown?"

"What?" Fang was not in the capital for a few months, and Wang Xifeng's soul returned to the Beijing Mausoleum? "Then... that Qiao sister?"

"You're still with Grandma Liu, and your sister-in-law Zhu is there to accompany you, so don't worry."

"Where's Lan'er? Last year, you won the exam together?"

"He is still in Beijing, waiting for an opportunity. If there is a vacancy, he can take up the post." Baoyu looked at the nearly gloomy sky, "After the decline of the Jia family, when we stayed in the countryside, there were always two women, They are acquaintances, and brought us food, drink, and clothes, I thought, I'm afraid it's Mei Luo and Li Su who are beside you, I've seen them before, and I have some reflections on them."

Daiyu smiled and nodded, "I didn't hide it from my second elder brother, I told them to go."

"Xiaoer, thank you."

"Thank you? It can't be said." Daiyu looked at Baoyu with a smile, "Daiyu has been in Jia's house for so many years, thanks to the love and care of her second elder brother, she can feel at home. The above-mentioned actions are right for me. Repay the favor."

"You..." Baoyu looked at Daiyu dotingly, "Second sister also visited us when we were in the countryside."

Hearing that Baoyu mentioned Yingchun, Daiyu's heart warmed up, "Second sister? How is she?"

Baoyu nodded, "I heard from my second sister that thanks to you, she has a good life now, but because of her status, she can never see you."

"It doesn't matter whether you see me or not, the important thing is that she is fine." Daiyu also looked into the distance and sighed softly, "I know you are all fine, that's fine!"

Baoyu glanced at Daiyu, hesitated to speak, and then remembered, "By the way, do you still remember Sister Yun?"

"Miss Yun?" Daiyu laughed, "Who have you forgotten? I can't forget her either." That Shi Xiangyun, who came to Jia's residence, would pester her, and the person who lived with her in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was like a man.

"She is now living with us at Grandma Liu's home."

"Really?"

Baoyu nodded, "She also had a hard life. Her father-in-law left at a young age, and other clansmen couldn't tolerate her. When she returned to Jingling, she knew that the Shifu had collapsed, so she thought of many ways. After inquiring about our news, we searched for it, and after that, he lived with us all the time.”

"Really?" While talking, Mingyan brought up the prepared meals with agility, "Otherwise, I would hurry to urge our second master to go back quickly, because of Miss Youyun and Grandma , Grandma Liu is here, so we didn't urge Second Master to finish the business here quickly and go back quickly."

After taking the job bowl from Mingyan, Daiyu looked at him with a funny face, "So urgent, could it be that there is something good waiting for your second master?"

Mingyan nodded, and sat down with them under Daiyu's gesture, "Second Grandma is here, and the day may be February next year, and now it's almost November, and it seems that there is only four months left. It's been a month, so I'm in a hurry!"

"Really?" Daiyu looked happily in Baoyu's direction, and she saw Baoyu smiled faintly, and said happily for a moment: "Congratulations, second brother."

Baoyu just looked at Daiyu with a smile, "I'm afraid it's just like your birthday."

"The twelfth day of February?" Daiyu raised her eyebrows even more pleasantly, "In this way, it would be nice to be a daughter." Rubbing her stomach, "For me, the date is probably the second day of February. "

"Really?" Baoyu also looked at Daiyu in surprise, and then, in shock, "You...you actually ran away with the little prince from the Beijing Palace?"

It was said that the rice bowl that Mingyan was holding fell on the wooden table, this was the first time I heard that anyone dared to run away with the little prince.

"Who said it must belong to the young prince?" Daiyu gave Baoyu and Mingyan a funny look, "I hope it's a daughter."

Baoyu looked at Daiyu in shock, he had heard about the love of the Northern Prince for her, "Whether it is the little prince or the little princess, if the Northern Prince finds out, then it will be fine."

"I won't let him know."

Once again, the rice bowl that Mingyan was holding fell on the wooden table, and her jaw could no longer be closed. Is this Miss Lin in front of her, the weak and fragile Miss Lin in the Grand View Garden?This men's attire is scary enough, but the words are even more deviant and different from the past!

Jia Baoyu pointed at Daiyu, "You..."

"I have no plan to go back." I will not forgive him.

Baoyu looked at Daiyu with some annoyance, "You are like this now, I am afraid that you will suffer a little if you act!" Seeing Daiyu's eyes looking over, she obviously blamed him, her heart softened immediately, and she hurriedly turned away. Topic, "Okay, okay, don't talk, don't talk, everything is up to you. Tell me, how did you come to Wuzhou?"

Daiyu snorted, "It's not because of him. People are everywhere to follow me. I can't go back to Yangzhou. On the way, I heard that my second brother is coming to Wuzhou, so I came here."

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu felt a little joy in his heart, "You are here to find me."

Daiyu nodded and rubbed her belly, "I'm not suitable for running around anymore, I have to calm down and talk about it after giving birth." She looked at Baoyu and Mingyan again, "I don't want to, I came here before you, Moreover, I also know a big secret."

"The big secret?"

Daiyu nodded again, "It's a matter of family and life, so I decided to stay here and find out everything, just wait for the second elder brother to come, and tell the second elder brother not to take any risks."

"What is it?"

Daiyu snorted, "Unless you promise me not to tell him about me, I'll tell you, what's the big secret?"

Mingyan lowered his head, and confronted the prince of the Celestial Dynasty, and he was also the prince of the north who had made great contributions. He didn't have the guts.

As if she knew what Mingyan was thinking, Daiyu looked at him amusedly, "Mingyan." Seeing him raise her head, she touched her stomach, "Tell me, what's in my belly, whether it's the little prince It’s still the little princess’s, and when I grow up, I’ll listen to someone.”

"Of course it's Miss Lin... oh... no, I've listened to you, Wangfei."

"It's good to know." Daiyu raised her eyebrows and looked at Mingyan, "So, my business is not allowed to spread. If it spreads, I can't hang out. I only blame you. When the time comes, I want my child to think about it." Ways to torture you."

Mingyan heard the words, and suddenly knelt down, "My concubine, please forgive me, even if you kill me, I won't tell anything about you."

"Yeah." Daiyu nodded, "This is the best, and, here, don't call me Wangfei, just call me Madam."

"lady?"

Daiyu nodded again, and looked at Jia Baoyu, "Second brother, what about you, will you tell him about me?"

Jia Baoyu sighed, "I'll do whatever you want me to do, and I won't tell him."

Hearing this, Daiyu narrowed her eyes with a smile, "I knew that second brother would not betray me." She looked at the two proudly, "Okay, now, I will tell you that shocking secret."

Seeing that Baoyu and Mingyan were calm and understanding, Daiyu smiled, "I know, why, do I want you to live here?"

"why?"

"Because you haven't arrived in Wuzhou yet, all your information has been handed over to the spies of Wuzhou governor Sha Wuji." Seeing the shocked expressions of Baoyu and Mingyan, "Sha Wuji has ordered that anyone who sees The two strangers, one master and one servant, who went to Wuzhou in disguise, all the inns should tell him the news."

Jia Baoyu couldn't believe it, "Is there such a thing?"

"It's more than that." Daiyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Even the 'Water and Sky One Color' inn that you were going to stay in just now, was temporarily renamed by Sha Wuji, because it was closer to Baoyun Bureau."

"What... what do you mean?"

Looking at Baoyu's puzzled expression, "Sha Wuji checked out all the information on the second elder brother, including your hobbies. He knew that you would come here in a low service, and he also knew that you would go to Baoyun Bureau to investigate, and even more so, You like elegance, so I want to lead you step by step into a false trap of false prosperity."

"False? Illusion?"

Daiyu nodded, "You know, this Wuzhou is rich in copper resources. Now, Dongying has not only dropped 100 million catties of copper, but also increased the price of copper. No doubt it wants to start a war against China."

"This is exactly what I'm looking for."

Daiyu gave two 'tsk tsk' and shook her head, "You seem to be subdued when you come here, but in fact, in the eyes of Sha Wuji and others, you are dignified. So, you can't find anything." Looking at Baoyu Those who don't understand, "You know, if you go all the way to investigate, you will only find out the fact that Sha Wuji obeyed the law and worked hard for the country and the people. He will lead you to praise him and admire him step by step. Endless."

"Sister means to say..."

"But I arrived in Wuzhou earlier than my second brother, so I know the truth all too well."

"What is the truth?"

Looking at the already cold food, Daiyu pointed, "Mingyan, please reheat it."

"okay!"

Mingyan picked up the food, got up and went into the house to heat up the food.

"Second brother is here, do you want to find out if Sha Wuji sold Wuzhou's copper to Nanman privately?"

Baoyu looked at Daiyu in shock. This was a court secret. Before leaving, Prince Xi repeatedly told her not to tell anyone. How did she know?

"Tell you, if you investigate Nanman, you must have wronged Sha Wuji?"

"How to say?"

"Because Sha Wuji didn't sell the copper mine to Nanban, but..." He glanced at Baoyu, "Instead, he sold it to Dongying."

Baoyu stood up abruptly, "Dongying?" Then, looking at Daiyu in shock, "You...how did you know?"

Daiyu smiled, "Coincidentally, the owner of this hut is a copper mine."

"Then... what about him... others."

"died."

"died?"

Daiyu nodded, "The people who mined the copper mine thought he was dead, so they threw him in a random graveyard. It just so happened that I passed by that day and rescued him. Then, after nearly half a month's journey, I came back here. , I don’t want to but still didn’t save him.” Sighed, “It’s also because of him that he told me a lot about how Sha Wuji oppressed them until they died and couldn’t see their family members, how the mined copper The sale of the mine to Dongying."

"Then... what about Nanman? Some spies said that Sha Wuji and Nanman colluded with each other?"

"Nanman?" Daiyu smiled, "It's just Sha Wuji's cover, and he's the one who said that he colluded with Nanman." Looking into Jia Baoyu's shocked eyes, "What he wants is for you to investigate. Nanman, but they can't find anything, so they let go and collude with Dongying, and they are pointing east and west."

"Damn it." Baoyu slammed his fist on the wooden table, "He took the court's salary for nothing."

"The court's salary?" Daiyu sneered twice, "Is he seeing it? What he sees is buying and selling silver from copper mines. With such a large amount of money, he has many spies. Ruthless, so, he can know immediately what is going on in Beijing, and he can be quite clear about what is going on in Beijing. This is also why in this short two years, he can go from being a seventh-rank to The reason for the second grade. It's not that he is really selfless, but that he is so treacherous and evil that people can't get a handle on it."

"Since that's the case, how can I get hold of him?"

"Wait"

"Wait?"

"Nowadays, the mountain will soon be covered by heavy snow. I'm afraid that the waterway will also be impassable." Daiyu looked at the sky, "Once the spring begins, Dongpu ships will definitely come to pick up the goods, so..."

Baoyu stood up happily, "That is to say, when the time comes, we can get all the stolen goods!"

Daiyu nodded, "So, during this period of time, the second elder brother will stay with me here." Rubbing her stomach, "I'm still worried that I didn't have one or two relatives by my side when I gave birth. Now, With my second brother, I feel relieved."

Hearing this, Baoyu was a little touched, sat down, and took Daiyu's hand, "What a frown, you still regard your second elder brother as a relative, so well, second elder brother will stay by your side until you give birth to the child." Down."

This thatched hut is at the foot of the mountain, quite secluded. Because Daiyu traveled a lot and had a lot of things to do, she prepared a lot of food here for the winter. The celebration of the harvest year, seeing it, is already the first month.

Daiyu wrapped her body in a green crane cloak, stood under the old plum tree in the courtyard, and sighed, as the little life in her belly was getting closer to the delivery date, she seemed to think of him often.

"It turns out that when a woman is giving birth, what she wishes most is for her husband to be by her side!"

Wen Po, she's already found it, it's not far away, if you do it, Mingyan can pick it up, so don't worry!He rubbed his belly that was too big, "But, your father, I don't want to forgive him, so, in the future, you don't have to call him father anymore, you follow me, your surname is Lin, he is a descendant of my Lin family."

Baoyu carried a hare into the yard, "Hair!"

Daiyu looked back with a smile, and saw that Baoyu was actually holding a rabbit in his hand, "Did you hunt it?"

Baoyu shook the rabbit in front of Daiyu, "Look, we can have extra meals tonight, I'll make up for you and the child."

"I really can't tell, is this still the Mr. Yihong from the Grand View Garden?"

"I think so, thanks to Ziying and the others going hunting from time to time, fortunately, there is no waste!" Xiangshan looked in the direction of the mountain, "Fortunately, this mountain is big enough. In the future, I want to hunt more rabbits." , pheasants, etc., to store more food for Xiaoer and my little nephew."

"Then you are no longer a son, but a hunter."

Baoyu smiled softly at Daiyu, "What is a hunter? I am willing to become a butcher for the sake of my hair."

Hearing this, Daiyu laughed, her cheeks swollen and chubby due to pregnancy, her eyes narrowed into slits, "It's just that if you continue to eat these meats like this, and make up like this, the child is too big. I'm afraid it won't be born."

Baoyu stared at Daiyu, who was flirtatious this time, and was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly, "If you don't raise it better, hurry up tomorrow, the child will come out, I'm afraid you will blame my uncle for mistreating him?"

"He dares?" Daiyu walked over and leaned on Baoyu's shoulder, "You are the best uncle in the world." Fortunately, he has taken good care of her for a while and never let her go out. A little surprise!

"Really? Good!"

There was a layer of mist in Baoyu's eyes, and his voice choked up.Touched by Yu Daiyu for not blaming him, touched by Yu Daiyu who treats him as a family member, touched by Yu Daiyu when she needs her relatives the most, it is him who she thinks of!Although, he wanted to ask, "Xiao'er, will you blame me? Will you forgive me?" But now, he didn't want to ask, because, he felt, there was no need to ask.

"Second Master, Second Master!"

Mingyan rubbed his hands and came in from the outside. In order to prevent Sha Wuji from discovering that the two of them appeared at the same time, he was sent out by Baoyu to inquire about news from time to time.

"How about it?"

"Sure enough, some strangers came to the town, and they didn't speak easily, because they were afraid that their words would reveal their secrets."

"Here we come." Baoyu looked at Daiyu with surprise on his face, "It seems that, as you said, spring is here and the sea is thawing, and their ships are coming."

Daiyu nodded, "No rush, I'm afraid it will take some time."

"why?"

"Think about it, once a year, with such a large amount, how many pairs of eyes have to be concealed, so we don't need to follow them around. At that time, the second brother only needs to hold the token of Lord Xi to find the general soldier Ye Hanjiang." Just guard at the seaside to catch people and take stolen goods."

"That's right, these people are so hateful, they just bought the copper from Wuzhou at a low price, and then they didn't have to transport it back to Dongying, and then sold it to China at a high price." Baoyu said in an annoyed tone, "However, this One time, I want to catch them all in one go. Huoer, I'll go to Zongbing Ye right now and make a good arrangement with him."

"What's the rush?" Daiyu looked at the sky, "It's still the first month of the month, everyone is busy celebrating the new year, let's talk about it after the fifteenth day of the first month."

"Well, good!" Baoyu rubbed his hands and pulled Daiyu into the room, "Look at me, I'm a little impatient." Looking at Mingyan, he threw the rabbit into his hand, "Hurry up, go and make some soup for me and my nephew to drink."
