[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Daiyu listened for a while, but she was still worried after all, so she asked Zicuckoo to look for Xiao Chen in front of the courtyard, and asked Xiao Chen to go to the front and ask, to see what was going on outside.

But before Zicuckoo moved its feet, Xiang Mist, who was guarding the gate of the courtyard, walked in with a worried expression on his face.

They first asked Lin Daiyu whether the Yan family had given birth smoothly, and after getting an affirmative answer, they said to Lin Daiyu: "Young madam, the housekeeper Wu sent someone to say that there are too many thugs who teach like this outside, and they are besieging us at this time." There are more than a thousand people in the house, and there are many people who do not know their identities who fish in troubled waters. Butler Wu said that for the safety of the third young lady and the second young lady, he also asked the second young lady to take the third young lady to Take shelter in the ancestral hall, even if the mob breaks down the door, it will be safer there."

There is a strong fortress in the ancestral hall. When it was built, it was built to guard against the situation in front of us.It's just that when it was built, no one thought that it would really come in handy later.

The fortress is not very big, and the cellar can hide dozens of people at most, and there will be regular storage and replacement of grain and grass in it, which is all the needs of life.The gate of the fortress is very strong. Once it is closed, it can only be opened from the inside. It cannot be easily broken from the outside. Unless there are siege equipment, the gate can only be opened from the outside.It's just that in this city, where can we easily find siege equipment?

Now that the city is in chaos, there is no absolute safety in the city, and the only way to survive this catastrophe is to hide in the fortress.

Uncle Wu asked Xiangwu Xianrou to tell Lin Daiyu that once the gate of the fortress was closed, Lin Daiyu would not open the door unless there was an agreed signal.

"Uncle Wu said, seeing the situation in the capital, I am afraid that the patrol battalion, the garrison battalion and the Wucheng Bing Masi will be in danger. He and the guards will do their best to protect the general's residence, but they are outnumbered. The final result is hard to say, so I ask the two young ladies to protect themselves quickly!"

Xiangwu Xianrou spoke to Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu listened to it, every word and every word was about the determination of Uncle Wu and those hundreds of guards to live and die with the General's Mansion.

Lin Daiyu felt uncomfortable, and finally couldn't bear to leave Uncle Wu and these hundreds of guards behind and hide in the fortress. She couldn't make up her mind, but she didn't forget Yan Shi who was still sleeping in the delivery room and her newborn baby. nephew.

Lin Daiyu asked Zijuan to help in the delivery room: "You go."

"You and the maids and mothers will take the second sister-in-law and the young master to the ancestral hall. Xiangwu and Xianrou will also go."

Lin Daiyu made the decision and ordered three people to accompany Yan Shi. Xiao Chen and ten other guards couldn't go there, so they wanted to protect her safety by Lin Daiyu's side.

If Lin Daiyu didn't go, Zijuan Xiangwu Xianrou and the others were of course worried, and tried to persuade Lin Daiyu, but Lin Daiyu urged her to go before she could speak.

Lin Daiyu calmly looked at the three people in front of her and said, "I know what you are worried about, but I really can't get away from the current situation. You go protect the second sister-in-law and the young master. I am here, waiting for the reinforcements to come."

Everyone present did not move, and there was a moment of hesitation.

Zijuan has been with Lin Daiyu for the longest time. She has been with Lin Daiyu since she was a child. Others are not easy to persuade because of the status of the third young lady in Lin Daiyu's house. Zijuan is concerned about Lin Daiyu's safety. Can't care about these anymore.

Zijuan pursed her lips and held Lin Daiyu's hand: "Young madam, the situation outside is urgent, young madam should hide in the fort with us."

"The young lady came back from outside, and she knows what's going on outside. Once the gate of the mansion is breached and thugs flood in, what will happen to the young lady's safety? Uncle Wu and the others are fighting bloody battles in front of them, isn't it just to keep both of them safe?" The young lady and the young son who was just born? The young lady said that she would wait for the reinforcements to come, so I just want to ask, if the reinforcements have not arrived when the gate of the house is breached, what should I do?"

Not to mention Zicuckoo, even Xiangwu Xianrou and others are also worried about this.

If the reinforcements come and the house is breached by mobs, Uncle Wu and the others will naturally protect Lin Daiyu, but they are outnumbered. If they cannot protect her, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Under such circumstances, in order not to drag Uncle Wu and the others, hiding in the fort was naturally the best and safest choice.

Zijuan persuaded her deeply, but Lin Daiyu insisted on refusing to go. She still asked Zijuan and her three to go to Yan's side, and helped the people around Yan's to take their mother and child to the fortress, and she was here, Just under this corridor, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive.

Everyone couldn't persuade them, so they had to act according to Lin Daiyu's arrangement.

Lin Daiyu didn't go to change clothes, she was still standing in the porch wearing blood-stained clothes, watching Zijuan and others send the sleeping Yan's mother and son to the fortress, waiting for Xiao Chen who followed to come back and say that everyone is safe, Lin Daiyu Only then did Xiao Chen move a chair and put it on the porch, and she just sat here and waited.

Xiao Chen was afraid that Lin Daiyu would not be able to sit still due to the hot weather, so he specially brought a fan from the room to Lin Daiyu, and managed to get some tea and snacks to put on the table that was brought out with the chair just now.

Although under such circumstances, everyone was concerned about the situation outside and couldn't eat anything at all. Lin Daiyu had only experienced some turmoil outside, so she didn't have much appetite after all.

But Xiao Chen and others have all come here under the influence of Lin Jian's loving wife and protecting his wife. They have long engraved the act of taking care of the third young lady in their bones. Even in the current situation, they are afraid that Lin Daiyu will Not at all comfortable.

It's just that Xiao Chen came to the room in a hurry, and only found a cattail fan. When he handed it to Lin Daiyu, he was afraid that Lin Daiyu would not like it, but Lin Daiyu didn't hesitate at all. When she saw Xiao Chen handing her the cattail fan, she was startled. She didn't expect Xiao Chen to be so careful, Lin Daiyu said thank you, and took the cattail fan over.

But at such a time, everyone could hear the movement outside, Xiao Chen and other guards guarded Lin Daiyu's surroundings, looking like an enemy, how could Lin Daiyu have the heart to shake the cattail fan and have tea and fruit snacks?

The reason why she was willing to accept the cattail fan was because she wanted to hold something in her hand to feel at ease. Even though she looked calm and calm on the surface, she still felt a little uneasy in her heart.Grabbing the handle of the cattail fan and rubbing it in the palm of her hand a few times, she felt more at ease.

Lin Daiyu focused on the movement outside, so she didn't see the admiring gazes of Xiao Chen and the ten guards surrounding her on guard.

In their eyes, such a weak third young lady is willing to stay alone, sitting on the porch to advance and retreat with them.

Looking at the slender third young lady, everyone suddenly realized for the first time why their third young master insisted on marrying Miss Lin as his wife.

Even Lin Daiyu, who was sitting on the porch of the inner courtyard, could hear the sound of the thugs crashing into the gate of the general's mansion, and the louder and louder shouts of killing. Under such circumstances, it will be a matter of time before the gate of the mansion is broken.

Time passed by minute by minute, and about fifteen minutes later, Lin Daiyu heard a loud noise in the front yard, which made her heart sink, and then she heard Xiao Chen say something bad in a low voice, and she knew it afterward.

——The gate of the General's Mansion was finally breached by the thugs taught in this way.

Lin Daiyu stood up holding the cattail fan tightly, staring at the closed gate of the inner courtyard, because her expression was so focused that she didn't even notice that her jade-like fingernails had dug into her flesh.

However, for a moment, the thugs did not rush to the inner courtyard. The imaginary scene of the inner courtyard being occupied by the thugs did not come true, but it is an indisputable fact that someone rushed into the general's mansion.

After all, the current General's Mansion is much noisier than the General's Mansion fifteen minutes ago.

However, the only difference is that the previous screams of killing were replaced by screams. Listening carefully, the voice of wanting to kill all the Lin family to avenge the brothers and sisters of Ru Shijiao was almost annihilated.

Lin Daiyu frowned, and looked at Xiao Chen and the others. Xiao Chen held the hilt of his sword, pursed his lips, and volunteered to go out to find out the situation, but before he could take a few steps forward, someone knocked on the door of the inner courtyard , followed by a burst of shouting.

"The reinforcements have arrived! The reinforcements have arrived! The third young master has returned with someone!"

At the moment when Ru Shi taught the thugs to break down the door, Lin Jian led thousands of troops from the battalion to kill the capital and the General Street. The General's Mansion, which was about to be overthrown by the thugs, was rushed to rescue in time. down.

There were more than a thousand thugs who besieged the general's mansion, and the guards in the mansion were outnumbered, but thousands of people followed Lin Jian and killed them back. How could these thousands of soldiers who Lin Jian trained meticulously for several months be like this? resist it?

With the sudden arrival of reinforcements, the situation that was originally beneficial to the Rushi Sect quickly turned to the downside. After the people of the Patrol Battalion, the Garrison Battalion and the Wucheng Bing Masi had Lin Jian's rush to help, they also gradually reversed their decline, and began to attack the Rushi Sect mobs instead. their siege.

Lin Jian rushed back to the capital to help, but he seemed to know everything in the capital. He brought thousands of people back to Beijing, and after entering the city, he distributed 4000 troops to Qian Ying and his lieutenant general, and ordered them to rush to help everywhere. , He himself brought 2000 people straight to the general's mansion.

There are many thugs taught in this way, but they are by no means as good as the martial arts that the Lin family guards have practiced since childhood. Uncle Wu led hundreds of Lin family guards to resist the invasion of the thugs. There were no casualties, but one or two hundred mobs were killed, but the plight of being besieged was difficult to solve.

The arrival of Lin Jian relieved their plight of being besieged, and because of the joining of these two thousand soldiers, the pressure on the general's mansion dropped sharply, and the situation suddenly improved.

Lin Jian went to check on the situation of Uncle Wu and the others first. Seeing that although everyone was covered in blood and had injuries on their bodies, but the flesh injuries were not life-threatening, Lin Jian was really relieved.

He shook the handle of the pistol, and then asked in a deep voice: "Uncle Wu, how is the situation in the inner courtyard?"
