Battle of the Red Chamber Ring III

Chi Chen hit Huahaizi, and then gathered his troops and stationed there for more than three months before turning back. It took another three or four months for the army to return to the northwest. It was already November when he arrived in Xining. He just arrived Then I received a letter from King Jingjing, and I knew what happened next.

After the war ended, the sage asked Chi Chen to start to win people's hearts, and only waited to dig all the people under Nian Yao to his side, and then the general account would be settled.It's just that the Holy Majesty is also tolerant, and now only two years have passed since the ten years given at the beginning, and he is only told to do what he can, anyway, the army cannot be mobilized now, even if Nian Yao has all kinds of calculations, it is impossible to understand.

After learning about Jia Huan's news, he was stunned for a moment. It turned out that he also joined the army.Chi Chen took a deep breath and called Mu Mu to come in.

Mu Mu entered the door and knelt down to say hello: "Master."

Chi Chenen said: "I just got news about brother, and now he is also in Xining, you can order someone to go and find out where he is now."

"Yes." As Mu Mu got older, he took over most of the things around Chi Chen now, and he was involved in all the things on the surface and behind the scenes.It's been a long time since the son mentioned Master Huan, and he thought the master had forgotten about it. There was no news before, and he didn't know what the situation of Master Huan was like now.

Peng Lai is now living in Yuci's house, and he instigated Jiang Yan to buy a small courtyard nearby, and the two moved in together. The original wall in the middle was made into an arch, making it easier to go back and forth.As for what is convenient, I can think about it myself, but I won't talk about all the things that have been harmonized here.

There are quite a few people in the army who never get married, and there are quite a few who show their true feelings with their brothers. However, Peng Lai and Jiang Yan concealed a lot because of the lack of affairs. Several confidantes thought that their own generals will come naturally, only Jia Huan looked at him with great interest, but he didn't make it to the last step. As for knowing that, hehe.

When Jia Huan returned to Xining, he went to see Baoyu. There was only one old servant in the house they bought. Naturally, it was the nanny who had come back with Shi Xiangyun. Seeing Jia Huan was startled.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but I'm back." The nanny smiled and welcomed Jia Huan into the door, "There are a few more waiters in the yard, and they are all newcomers who have only joined in the past two years. Master Baoyu is now promising, listen He was promoted to governor a while ago."

Jia Huan saw that the servants standing inside all lowered their heads and looked at him with strange eyes, so he knew that the courtyard was probably uninhabitable, so he sat in the living room for a while and waited until Baoyu came. .

It was different from what he saw when he first arrived in Xining. Now Jia Baoyu described him as thin, and his plump and fair face showed the vicissitudes of a Northwesterner. When he saw Jia Huan, he couldn't believe it at first, and then hurried forward: " The third brother is back!" He said and looked around, and the servants standing by the door retreated one after another.

Baoyu sat next to Jia Huan and held Jia Huan's hand: "I was worried day and night. I didn't know how my third brother was in the army. A while ago, there was news from the capital that your punishment and mine have been pardoned. I was thinking about what to do." I contacted you, how are you doing now, you just came back."

Jia Huan looked at Baoyu for a while, and when he heard his question, he looked at Baoyu and said, "Second brother, are you going to go back or stay here?"

Baoyu chuckled: "I went back to Beijing with Uncle Zhen's family. My father said that he has already found a place in Beijing, but I don't know if you want to go back, third brother."

Jia Huan has never been in touch with Jia Zheng, but he told Aunt Zhao that he was safe, and because of the reward, he thought his father knew about it. "Since you want to go back, take the money I have with you. Now that the mansion is in trouble, will you take away the servants in this yard?"

Baoyu nodded: "Of course I have to take it with me. By the way, Sister Yun just gave birth to a beautiful daughter. She will go back together when she goes to Beijing this time. I don't know what happened to the other sisters in the mansion. "As he spoke, he became a little confused, "I don't know why, my memory is very poor now, I seem to forget the days when I was in the Grand View Garden, and I followed Sister Lin..." Speaking of Sister Lin, he lowered his head again and remained silent. It stopped ringing.

"What's wrong with Sister Lin?" Jia Huan felt that he had only been away for a while, but everything seemed to have changed a lot.

Baoyu smiled wryly and said: "Sister Lin got married a while ago, and now we have followed her brother back to Beijing one step earlier."

Lin Daiyu married someone else, and Baoyu didn't go crazy, which is really rare.Jia Huan thought this way, and unconsciously showed clues on his face. Baoyu knew Jia Huan's thoughts at a glance, and poured himself a cup with the teapot: "Not long after you left, I got in touch with Sister Yun, and I also know I was the one who was sorry for Sister Lin." His words of sorry contained many meanings, but just now he looked at the responsible man, but now his eyes were red, looking at such precious jade, Jia Huan felt that This person is his second brother, Jia Baoyu who said that his daughter is made of water.

While Baoyu was talking, tears came down. He covered his face with his sleeve and said, as if the news was very painful to him: "I was not there that day, and my mother wanted me to marry Sister Yun. I killed Sister Lin, how can I have the right to marry Sister Lin, even though my mother is not in the house now, but she is my mother after all. I can't let Sister Lin suffer, besides, I also inquired about her current husband-in-law, he is a good person. "

Although Baoyu said it, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. There was no one to vent to before, but now when he saw Jia Huan, he hugged his head and cried bitterly.Jia Huan had no choice but to pat Baoyu for comfort. If Mrs. Wang hadn't hindered them, Lin Daiyu would marry Zhen Baoyu now, so now it seems that it has nothing to do with Jia Baoyu.

The two chatted for a long time, and then had dinner together. Jia Huan had to go back to the army to report on his duties, so he told Baoyu and left early.

Not to mention Jia Huan, Zeng Baijia is now considered a small success, and now he went back to Xining and went to his uncle's cloth shop. I haven't seen him for more than a year. Now there is an extra clerk in the store. The clothes on his body hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to greet him: "Mr. Jun, what do you want?"

"Where's your store manager? I'm his nephew." Zeng Baijia looked at the shopkeeper, and then looked around, but the decoration didn't change much. Maybe it's because his uncle is getting old, so he hired a helper to look after the store.

"The store owner is resting inside, wait a moment, I'll call for it." The guy's eyes lit up, and he replied with a smile.

"Not busy, I'll go in by myself, you still have to look at the store." Zeng Baijia waved his hand, lifted the curtain and walked in. Further inside the narrow corridor is the place where my uncle's family of four lived. I saw a woman squatting by the well washing clothes. Seeing Zeng Bai's family come in, she asked suspiciously: "Master Jun looking for someone?"

"Auntie, I'm Baijia." Zeng Baijia met her when she was a child, but at that time she was wearing exquisite clothes, holding a child and sitting on the side without saying a word, while her mother grabbed her hand and begged The other party, as if the other party was the last straw, but no one can tell what the result will be. After that, I live alone in the house left by my father, and go from house to house to eat every day when it's meal time.

All kinds of people, all kinds of treatment, it is this kind of experience that let him know what is the warmth of a lover, as if the world he lives in has changed after his father died, the original friendship They all disappeared with the death of their father.

"Bai... home?" The woman stood up in surprise, wiped her body with her hand and walked over.

Zeng Baijia handed over the four gifts he bought in advance to the other party and asked, "I've been away all this time, so I wonder if uncle is at home?" After looking around, he fixed his gaze on his aunt's face.

It seems that we haven't seen each other for a long time. The women in my impression are no different from those aunts and aunts in the village, but the other party doesn't seem to be embarrassed, but just smiles back to Zeng Baijia: "Your cousin followed his daughter-in-law to his mother-in-law's house today. No, only your uncle and I are left, he went out to buy some cold food for lunch, he should be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard voices from outside. Zeng Baijia turned his head and saw his uncle coming in. His uncle saw Zeng Baijia put the things in his hand on the wooden bench beside him, and then walked up to Zeng Baijia: "It can be counted. I'm back, your mother has written letters several times, hey, I heard that there was a war a while ago, you didn't go to the front line, did you?"

How could Zeng Baijia tell the truth at this moment, only saying that he didn't go, but was doing logistics later, the aunt put the things sent by Zeng Baijia in his uncle's hand: "This is from Baijia, this child is here Come and bring something."

The uncle looked at Zeng Baijia with disapproval on his face: "All you get now is money for your life, why are you so ignorant, you are not young and you are saving money, and you will cry when you don't get a wife in the future." So he sent Zeng Baijia to return it.

The aunt stretched out her hand to stop her and said, "It's not easy for Baijia to come here, so you hurry away and talk about it after we have dinner together." Then he led Baijia inside, and Zeng Baijia sat at his uncle's house for a long time. I waited until noon before leaving the door of the cloth shop.

The moment he left the store, Zeng Baijia felt the feeling of his father when he was still there. At that time, he was sitting on his father's lap, and the amiable aunt looked down at his cousin instead of being indifferent. A woman, a hospitable uncle instead of a man who frowns helplessly at his sister but doesn't reach out to help.This is the world, and everyone is here for the benefit.Whether it is good for you or not depends on whether you are of value to him.Regardless of whether there is a blood relationship between the two, how many people are now giving up everything because of blood relatives.
