[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

When Lin Jian came out of the palace, he saw Qian Ying waiting for him at the gate of the palace.

Seeing Lin Jian coming out, Qian Ying hurriedly went up to meet him: "Master, are you going to the camp?"

Lin Jian shook his head, took the rein from Qian Ying's hand, and signaled him to get on the horse too: "I don't want to go to the camp, but go back to the mansion first."

Lin Daiyu knew that Lin Jian had been invited into the palace by Xiao Yu, and she was not surprised to see Lin Jian come back. She just welcomed him in and asked Zijuan Xiangwu to stop her errands and go out to wait. Only then did he sit down with Lin Jian and asked him softly, "Husband, the Holy Majesty invited you into the palace to discuss matters, isn't it because of matters in Lingnan?"

Lin Jian looked directly into Lin Daiyu's eyes: "Yes."

He paused, and then said, "The sage said, let me lead the soldiers to Lingnan to rescue parents, eldest brother and second brother, and end the military chaos in Lingnan for him."

After Lin Jian said that, he kept staring at Lin Daiyu, observing her expression carefully, seeing that she was only slightly moved but not very surprised, he couldn't help but move in his heart, "Yu'er, don't you feel surprised?"

Lin Daiyu's eyes were gentle: "Since the news of the military chaos in Lingnan, although you are in the capital, your heart has already flown to Lingnan. Although you are silent, you listen to the arrangement of the Holy One, but at night, no matter what Whether you are in the camp or in the mansion, you will pay close attention to the map of Lingnan, and look for the military newspaper. It can be seen that you are deeply concerned about it. Your Majesty has a deep friendship with you, and His Majesty must know all these things."

"It's natural for children to worry about the safety of their parents and relatives. It's only natural for you to worry about your parents and your elder brother and second brother. Your Majesty understands your husband's feelings. I think no matter who goes to Lingnan in this world, your husband will feel unhappy. Don't worry, the Holy Majesty can only feel at ease if you let your husband go."

Lin Jian was silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Daiyu and said, "You have always been smart, and I can never hide these things from you."

"To tell you the truth, I have already stated to the Holy Majesty that before winter, I will end the military chaos for the Holy Majesty. It is already autumn, and in at most two or three months, peace will be restored in Lingnan."

"I have been looking at the map of Lingnan to analyze the battle situation these days. Shen Qiao is aggressive, but he raised his troops alone. All the prefectures, counties and townships in Dazhou are now heavily guarded. There is no one who responds to his army, so it is just a Lingnan one. The ground is in chaos, and if you want to put it down, two or three months is enough."

Lin Daiyu reminded Lin Jian: "But my husband, father, mother, and elder brother and second elder brother are all in his hands now. It is not difficult to put down the chaos, but I am afraid that Shen Qiao will jump the wall in a hurry and do something irreversible. If Shen Qiao takes them Threatening my husband's life, I'm afraid things will be difficult to deal with."

Lin Jian obviously also considered this point, he said: "There is no need to worry too much about this."

"Shen Qiao has been hunting down his father and mother in Lingnan for a long time, but there is no news yet. It can be seen that he has not yet got the whereabouts of his parents. Father has been operating in Lingnan for 20 years, which is longer than that of Shen Qiao and Shen's family in Lingnan. Too much. Although Shen Shu and Shen Qiao have put in a lot of thought, but the foundation of father is not so easy to be uprooted. After all, it was Lingnan that father recovered back then, and this place in Lingnan is more famous for father than Shen Shu Shen Qiao's reputation is much more touching."

"Shen Qiao has soldiers in his hands, and he controls the entire Lingnan on the surface, but in private, not everyone may listen to him."

There are not only Central Plains people living in Lingnan, but also many Miao and Yi people. These tribes live mixed with Central Plains people. When Shen Qiao was in chaos, these tribes also became chaotic. Some wanted to fish in troubled waters, but some were sunk Qiao soldiers forced / forced.

I am used to living a peaceful life. There has been no military chaos in the past ten years, but suddenly there is chaos. As long as there is foresight, who is willing to follow Shen Qiao to do such a hopeless thing?

There are a lot of people who are obedient and obedient in private.

When Lin Hong pacified Lingnan back then, it was not all suppressed by force. Naturally, there would be Miao people and Yi people who sincerely surrendered. These people had some friendship with Lin Hong. On the surface, they were oppressed by Shen Qiao and his forces, but in private, they They are still close to the Lin family and the court.

Shen Qiao couldn't find the whereabouts of Lin Hong and Qiao's for a long time, and it was their help.

Lin Jian said: "Although Shen Qiao detained the elder brother and the second brother, and imprisoned all the officials in Lingnan who didn't follow him, but if you want to threaten me with the lives of the elder brother and the second brother, Shen Qiao doesn't think so. will do."

"In the current situation, the Shen family and my Lin family are incompatible, and the imperial court is also incompatible, but my Lin family is not alone in the world. Whether it is in Jinling, southern Anhui, or in the capital, the relatives and friends of my Lin family are old and new. There are still many. Shen Qiao raised his army alone. It was because he succeeded by luck, and it was also for the Empress Dowager Shen and King Duan. Could it be that these people will be abandoned when King Duan ascends the throne in the future? Even if the dynasties change, these people are still there. Shen Qiao dare not really kill the elder brother and the second brother. Otherwise, if he really goes all out, he won't just fight Raise troops to serve the banner of the king."

Lin Jian looked at Lin Daiyu and said, "Yu'er, the situation in Lingnan is very clear, it is not difficult to resolve it, but if I go, you and I will be separated for several months, I only hope that you can Take good care of yourself, and wait for me to come back in the capital."

As soon as he left, only Lin Daiyu and Yan's mother and son were left in the mansion. Even if all the people under his command were left in the general's mansion, there were hundreds of guards including Uncle Wu in the mansion. Lin Jian thought about this family of women and children, and felt After all, the head is still a little uneasy.

Lin Daiyu stared fixedly at Lin Jian: "Husband wants to separate from me?"

She pursed her lips and said softly, "I have never been apart since I was with you."

Lin Jian didn't say anything, but thought about it in his heart.

It is not that he has never been separated from Lin Daiyu since he was together.Thinking back then, he would use his strategy, when the eldest prince conspired against him, he went back to Beijing first, and it was not until half a month later that he brought Lin Daiyu back from Chonglian Temple.

There was also that time when he was sent to prison by Emperor Chengsheng to await trial in order to lure the snake out of the hole to find out about his father. That time, he also hadn't seen Lin Daiyu for more than a month.

Lin Daiyu seemed to see what Lin Jian was thinking. She held Lin Jian's hand and said softly, "Husband, this time is different."

They were separated before, and they were not far apart.But this time, it was Lin Jian who led the troops to fight in the South of the Five Ridges. This trip lasted for two or three months. She was waiting for news in the capital, so how could she feel at ease?

Even though she knew that Lin Jian would be fine, she was still worried.

Besides, although Lin Hong and Qiao Shi were not caught by Shen Qiao, they may have not heard from Lin Hong and Qiao Shi for a long time, and Lin Daiyu was also worried.

"I want to go with you."

"I know you are leading troops to Lingnan to quell the chaos, so it is inconvenient to take me there. But I am really worried, and I don't want to be separated from you. You are in the army, and I will follow you with a fragrant mist. Don't disturb your husband's plan."

"As for the mansion, you don't have to worry too much. The second sister-in-law has recovered, and all the affairs of the mansion can be handled by her. Besides, the situation in the capital is more stable now, and there are both inside and outside the guards of the Holy Majesty and the soldiers. Nothing will happen here .”

Hearing this, Lin Jian stared at Lin Daiyu for a long time, just when Lin Daiyu thought that Lin Jian would not agree, Lin Jian suddenly smiled, raised her eyebrows and agreed to her: "Since you are so worried, then come with me." .This is also an extraordinary time, and it is not an exception for a lady to join the army, so she will live with me in the camp."

Lin Daiyu's original plan was to be afraid of Lin Jian's embarrassment, so she prepared to follow the team, but Lin Jian not only agreed, but also asked her to live with her in the camp.

The husband and wife looked at each other for a while, although Lin Jian didn't say much, but Lin Daiyu could understand after a little thought.Now is indeed an extraordinary period, besides, she is the daughter-in-law of the general's mansion, and her reputation in the capital is not weak, even if she walks with Lin Jian with the army, others will not say something that breaks the rules, but will think that what they did as husband and wife It is extremely affectionate and righteous, and there will be no bad comments.

Lin Jian had indeed thought of this part.

Lin Daiyu is now in the capital because all the prefectures and counties in Dazhou have a very good reputation. If there is such a thing about going to Lingnan with the army to quell the chaos, everyone's favor for her will only increase. This is why Lin Jian readily agreed with Lin Daiyu to join the army One of the reasons.

Anything that is beneficial to Lin Daiyu, Lin Jian will never go against her wishes.

Kuang was by his side, under his protection, even if Lin Daiyu went out with the army, nothing would happen.

It is not too late.

After Xiao Yu negotiated with Lin Jian, he issued an imperial decree not long after Lin Jian left the palace, ordering Lin Jian to lead troops to Lingnan to quell the chaos.

Because now is a special period, and everyone in the world knows that Zhennan Gong and his wife, as well as Lin Jian's elder brother and second brother, are deeply involved in the chaos of Lingnan, so the rule that the promised commander of the capital has never been dispatched can only be an exception.

There was no one in the court to hold back, on the day when Lin Jian led the army to go out, Prime Minister Yu led all the civil and military officials to see him off.

Lin Jian and Lin Daiyu went to see Yan's mother and son together before they left. Yan's recovery is very good, and the newborn child is also growing very well. Don't worry, I want her to recuperate in the mansion and wait for the news of Lingnan's safety.

The road was high and the water was far away. Lin Jian led tens of thousands of soldiers to the south of the five ridges. It was autumn and there were many autumn rains everywhere. It goes without saying that the road was hard.

Lin Jian and the soldiers were used to this kind of suffering, but Lin Daiyu, who went out this time, let Zijuan stay at the general's mansion because Zijuan didn't know martial arts, and only came out with Xiangwu Xianrou. This difficult journey is commonplace for men, but for these three women, it is indeed a bit difficult.

It's okay that the fragrance mist is delicate and soft, and Lin Daiyu is commendable.No matter how bad the weather and conditions encountered along the way, Lin Daiyu never said a word of suffering, let alone any place that slowed down the marching speed of the team.

Lin Jian led his troops to the outskirts of Lingnan, and even arrived at the destination four or five days earlier than expected.
