Battle of the Red Chamber Ring III

In September, Jia Huan was sweeping the floor with a broom on his shoulders when he suddenly heard an acquaintance coming from Chun Gengdao. He walked over and saw that it was Xue Pan.He had only met once or twice before, and he was not familiar with the other party, so he asked: "Brother Xue is here, what's the matter?"

Xue Pan sat upright, and laughed when he saw Jia Huan: "Thanks to your husband's help at the beginning, now that my sister has entered the palace, she took Yinglian to Jinling to find her parents. Come, let me bring you a letter." He asked the servant to bring up a stack of letters while talking.

Jia Huan frowned suspiciously: "Why did my master ask my cousin to bring the letter?" At the beginning, he didn't understand why Mu Kun reached out to help Xue Pan, but now he was even more puzzled when he saw this, as if the two of them knew each other very well. .

Xue Pan coughed a few times, touched his face and said: "Mr. Mu is Xiangling, oh, Yinglian's cousin, because Yinglian and I have already married, um, you know As he said that, he felt a little embarrassed. At the beginning, he snatched Yinglian from the traffickers because of her beauty. Although his mother had been reluctant before, she finally let him get it.

Unexpectedly, there would be such a change in the future, Mu Kun came to find Yinglian, and wanted to take her away, but Yinglian was her daughter's family after all, and felt that Xue Pan was good to him, so she still had to follow Xue Pan on the way, Mu Kun couldn't, So he instructed Xue Pan to make progress, and ordered someone to find Yinglian's father, who knew that that person was also a fool.

Xue Pan came here this time to let Yinglian recognize his mother, and secondly, Mu Kundao and the two had no bridal chamber candles after all, and Mu Kun's cousin couldn't promise someone for no reason, so Xue Pan let Xue Pan know the way. "Because I won't be able to get married until next year, my cousin asked me to come here first to set up some family property, and then I will worship and get married after the New Year." As he said this, he felt that he was really blessed. He had a shrewd and capable father when he was young. Let him not worry about eating and drinking, and now he has a smart and capable wife and uncle, and he is even more proud when he hears that Mu Kun is from the Nanwangfu.

Waiting for Xue Pan to leave, Jia Huan took the letter.On the top was Mu Kun's writing, but after removing the cover, he found that the inside was still covered with Chi Chen's writing, so he repeatedly looked at the letter Chi Chen sent him that day, and linked the address outside. Forgot to scan.

A total of ten letters, the first one was written during the Chinese New Year, explaining that he was going to the Northwest, the second one was already in the Northwest, and only talked about the customs, and the third one was that he was promoted and participated in the After a few charges, there are some trivial matters after that, and I don't talk much about other things.The ten letters back and forth were only a few thousand words in total, and Chi Chen wrote them briefly, and Jia Huan could recite them after reading them a few times.

"What did the son say, young master, why do you look a little unhappy?" Chun Geng sent Xue Pan out, and when he came back, he saw Jia Huan sitting at the table, holding a letter in his hand, as if in a daze.

Hearing Chun Geng calling himself, Jia Huan looked up at Chun Geng and said: "He is obviously the son of the Southern Prince, why does he still need to go to the battlefield to gain glory? Swords have no eyes. If he has an accident, how can I help him?" , he is always worried about my situation, why don't I hate my own people for being soft-spoken, Chun Geng, tell me, what about Xia Yun?"

Xia Yun was originally Chi Chen who stayed by Jia Huan's side and was in charge of contacting him, but he didn't follow him when he went up the mountain. At that time, Jia Huan thought that Mu Kun had some orders, so he agreed to go with him. Now he knows Chi Chen On the battlefield, everything is a little different.

"Young Master, since we arrived in Jia's Mansion, we have been the Young Master's people. We lived and died together with the Young Master. The others really don't know. Xia Yun is Master Mu Kun who called to help. We haven't contacted for half a year." Chun Geng Kneeling down on one knee in front of Jia Huan and lowering his head, Jia Huan frowned, reached out and pinched the other's shoulder and pulled him up.

"What are you doing? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how many times I would have died. After receiving your care, if I still doubt you, then am I still human, Jia Huan?" He frowned, pulled Chun Geng up, and Also stood up.He walked back and forth in the room twice, and then made up his mind: "I'll tell the abbot, you go and tell my mother tomorrow, don't let her come here before the year, if you ask, just say it's the abbot's idea, Let's pack up and go to the northwest to see him, if we don't see him, I won't worry." As he spoke, he opened the door and went out to find the abbot.

The military in the Northwest, when they were still in Jia’s mansion, Mu Kun mentioned to Jia Huan that it was the leader of Zhungeer, Ge Erdan Celing, the son of Cewang Allah Butan, who had been the court’s leader since the previous dynasty. The confidant is in serious trouble. During the period of the Supreme Emperor, the opponent bowed his head and surrendered in successive battles. However, this man is a villain. There is no peace in the middle, and you can't do anything big. Chi Chen went this time, and the task assigned to him was naturally just to guard the border.

Since he wanted to go out, he naturally had to go to Dr. Chen to solve the problem of not being able to take a medicinal bath. After thinking for a long time, Dr. Chen agreed to Jia Huan's help to make the pills for three months, but the pills were no better than steamed medicine. Saying that Jia Huan was going to the northwest, he shook his head and said no, but Jia Huan had already made up his mind, so Dr. Chen reminded him that if the pain became unbearable and he remembered to come back immediately, he gave Chun Geng more than a month of medicinal materials, saying yes. Seek every opportunity, and don't substitute if you can.

Since he wanted to go out, Qiushou began to buy all the things he needed along the way. The journey to the northwest was far away, but no one around Jia Huan advised him not to go, because they wanted to go too.Waiting for the autumn harvest to pack everything, but just after packing, Mu Kun happened to come.He rode on the horse and knocked on the carriage, and waited for Jia Huan to raise the curtain and poke his head out, only to find that his master had aged a lot.

Sitting on the horse, Mu Kun looked at Jia Huan and sighed: "Your Majesty guessed that you might do something, so he ordered me to come and tell you that he has returned to Duzhong now. If you go to the northwest, you will miss it." gone."

"Why did you come back?" Jia Huan looked bewildered, didn't he only go for more than half a year.

"Heshuo was defeated. Today, I ordered the son to return to Beijing to be enshrined, and the Supreme Emperor has been unhappy for several days. It seems that it is not good, so it is better to come back earlier and make preparations." Mu Kun rubbed his forehead, feeling that he was really worried. Enough, he looked helplessly at Jia Huan and said: "Fortunately, I have been traveling all day long, and if it was just a quarter of an hour at night, I would have to go thousands of miles to find you."

"I have been taken care of by the prince, so how can I not know how good he is, not to mention that traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading thousands of books." Jia Huan felt that he was also very innocent. He looked at Mu Kun and blinked his big eyes.

Mu Kun turned over and got out of the carriage. Chun Geng, who was beside him hurriedly stepped forward to hold the reins, causing Mu Kun to give him a white look, "You too, he is going, and you won't stop him?"

Chun Geng couldn't say anything, just smiled at him, and pulled the horses to install them. Mu Kun jumped on the carriage with one hand, pushed Jia Huan to sit inside, and ordered Qiu to take back the temple. .

No one spoke along the way. Chun Geng rode Mu Kun's horse and followed behind the carriage, and Dong Zang, who was sitting in the back, hinted that the other party was eavesdropping. Dong Zang hurriedly waved his hand to indicate that no one was talking inside.Jia Huan in the carriage wanted to explain his behavior to Mu Kun, but the other party refused to accept this. Mu Kun got into the carriage, lay down and closed his eyes, and the carriage swayed back along the mountain road.

After arriving at the place, Qiushou moved the things off the carriage in an orderly manner, and Jia Huan also quietly got up and climbed out of the carriage.Looking at the things all over the floor, I was taken aback. This was originally the thick clothes they took to the northwest to wear. Now that it’s useless if they don’t go, Chun Geng thought for a while and said: “Why don’t you send it to my aunt and grandma? Even in winter, we will also help the poor."

Jia Huan was always right, so he agreed. They put their things in the hut beside them, and tidied up another room. Although Mu Kun didn't say that he would live in the temple tonight, it would take half a day to go down the mountain. It was evening again, so it was impossible to climb down the mountain in the dark.

Dongzang was the most obedient, and said: "I'll make dinner." Then he slipped away, and Qiushou said, "I'll help light the fire." He also slipped away, and Chun Geng was about to say that I would supervise them, but Jia Huan just fixed his eyes on the spot. .

"We're going to die together." Jia Huan spat out each word, with his legs spread apart, his hands folded in front of his chest, his chin raised high, and he looked at Chun Geng with the whites of his eyes. Mu Kun pinched the back of the ruffian's face, pulled him into the room, and began to reprimand him as a gentleman. is light.

In the end, Jia Huan hugged the bedpost and was about to crash to death and showed it to Mu Kun, so he gave up, took a sip of water and said, "It's rare that you are stuffed in, so you study hard, not everyone can get the advice of this eminent monk." Yes, if you can learn a thing or two in your life, it will be enough."

Jia Huan still doesn't know how powerful this monk of Jiming Temple is, but since Mu Kun said so, he must have his ability, not to mention that even the Holy Master came here secretly, so he should be quite a powerful person after all. .

After listening to Mu Kun's reprimand, Jia Huan suddenly remembered something, he looked at Mu Kun and said, "Why did you tell me that Yinglian is your cousin, if it had been earlier, you could have helped redeem her. "

Mu Kun glanced at Jia Huan and said: "Put away your little thoughts, I only found out later that Yinglian is the only daughter of my incompetent uncle. I heard that she was taken away by someone since she was a child. It can be redeemed now, but what is the use, her parents are incompetent, and I have been traveling for many years, although I am now a concubine, I am not frozen next to each other." After all, Xue Pan married his regular wife so what.

"But that kid is also a character. He said that he is too lazy to find another character in this life to make him feel bad. Why not just change Yinglian's identity and marry him as a regular wife when the time comes." Mu Kun twitched the corners of his mouth. As a member of Nan Wangshizi's subordinates, he naturally wouldn't have such thoughts, but he would always let him know his methods.
