[Red Chamber] Jia Huan's Army

The serious matter that Mo Lian wanted to talk about actually had more to do with Jia Huan, and it was the situation in the neighboring country where King Nan'an was stationed.

"Now Mongolia is divided into three parts, which restrict each other, but they can't be unified. So they dare not act rashly and send a large number of troops to harass the border. But every time the winter is approaching, there will always be small-scale harassment and killing. You Now following the King of Nan'an, the main purpose is to deal with such small-scale Mongols. Among them, the Tatars are the most arrogant. Counting such small-scale battles, they are also the most frequently fought with the Tatars." Mo Lian said, "But this is all You can accumulate experience and prestige with this. In less than two years, I will definitely clean them up and make the border safe for at least 50 years. If you can grow fast enough, you will have a place to come .”

Jia Huan looked at Mo Lian's resoluteness when he said that there would be no more worries on the border, and he admired Mo Lian in his heart, and his eyes sparkled. It seemed that Mo Lian was extraordinarily tall and attractive.When Jia Huan realized what he was thinking, he secretly scolded himself for being brainless.Then he pretended not to care, nodded and said: "It will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

"If you go, don't rush forward because of these ideas." Mo Lian liked Jia Huan's energetic appearance very much, but he was worried: "Learn from King Nan'an. Although the Mongols harassed on a small scale, Experience is old. Especially the Tatars, their cavalry has always been capable, and their leader is also the most cunning and cunning among the three tribes. You are young and inexperienced, so don't rush into it!" After speaking, Mo Lian's tone was stern up.

Jia Huan didn't dare to be careless, knowing that Mo Lian's reminder at this time was for his own good.Besides, he is not really this kind of passionate but easy to do things without thinking about his age, so he knows right from wrong, so he solemnly nodded his head in agreement.

Mo Lian looked at Jia Huan's solemn expression, but couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll talk so much, I might forget it when I go to the battlefield. I still need someone to watch you."

Jia Huan blinked and asked Mo Lian with his eyes.

Mo Lian pretended to be mysterious: "You will know when the time comes."

Jia Huan knew that if Mo Lian didn't want to tell him, he probably wouldn't be able to ask the answer, so he didn't pester Mo Lian, but secretly guessed the candidate in his heart.

Mo Lian didn't say anything after that. Anyway, Jia Huan had promised him that he would come to accompany him every day in the next few days. There were quite a few things that he had to talk to him about. , in case this kid arrives at the frontier but cannot come back with his whole body intact.At this time, Mo Lian was like any parent who sent their children to the battlefield, with all kinds of reluctance and worries in their hearts.But because of Mo Lian's own character and his position, he could only suppress it in his heart, and told him a lot without showing it, for fear of missing something.In fact, my heart was already up and down, and I regretted it.This lover has not yet become a lover, so he first experienced the feeling of his father. Life is really unpredictable.Mo Lian smiled self-deprecatingly, then waved his hand and let Jia Huan go back.

Speaking of the feelings of the parents, Jia Huan's real parents are not as good as Mo Lian.

First, Jia Zheng. When he learned that his son was named a fourth-rank guerrilla and would go to the frontier to guard the frontier in ten days, Jia Zheng's expression was really bad.Colleagues also smiled to express their understanding. If someone else's son was going to the frontier, everyone would have to have this expression.So what about Wu Tanhua, what about this fourth rank, and now the frontier is not peaceful, as long as it is not invulnerable, if you go to such a desperate place, you can only secretly ask God to bless you.Maybe it was shrouded in horse leather.So when they said "Congratulations" sourly in their hearts, there was also a hint of schadenfreude.

It's not that Jia Zheng didn't hear it. Although he was dissatisfied that his son was only 11 years old and his official position was older than his own, he was a little worried when he thought that his son would go to that barren land and his life was in danger.Although Jia Zheng is pedantic, he can't be considered short-sighted. Anyway, this concubine is currently the most promising one in the Jia family. If it disappears, the Jia family will lose a helping hand. good thing.It's just that if Jia Zheng knew that Jia Huan had long wanted nothing to do with the Jia family, I don't know what expression he would have.

And when Aunt Zhao heard about Jia Huan's whereabouts, her heart was not excited for a long time, but her heart was half cold.Isn't this forcing his son to die?Aunt Zhao's face was pale, and she didn't care what the occasion was, she was about to collapse on the ground on the spot, but fortunately the clever little maid gave her a firm support.

"This ring is also very good luck." Mrs. Wang was proud of herself, and she couldn't help showing something on her face, "I am a fourth-rank official position at a young age, and I am afraid that Gan Luo can match it."

Aunt Zhao didn't know the character Gan Luo, but she just looked at Mrs. Wang's expression and became more anxious. Tears burst out and she cried, "I'm just such a son. How do you live?"

And Tanchun who was on the side turned pale when Mrs. Wang said "Gan Luo", and the handkerchief on his hand was tightened.Aunt Zhao didn't read the book so she didn't understand, but Tanchun knew that Gan Luo was not only the 12-year-old prime minister in the legend, but also the master who died young. Isn't this the curse of Jiahuan's early death?

The old lady was not very happy after hearing Mrs. Wang's words, but she didn't show it on her face.Now when Aunt Zhao was crying, her heart became even more impatient, she lowered her face and said: "What does this look like? You still don't help your aunt to go back to the house."

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao had already done rough work, and her strength was beyond the reach of ordinary maids, so she broke free from the maid's support, knelt down in front of the old lady, kowtowed and cried: "I beseech my ancestors to be merciful. This servant knows The old ancestor can speak up, I beg the old ancestor to intercede for my hard-fated Huan'er."

Mother Jia saw Aunt Zhao like this, and even though she hated her on weekdays, she had to admit that her biological mother was different.It's just that she came from a bad background after all, and she has little knowledge. Seeing that she was talking outrageously, Mother Jia patted the table and said, "I don't know the rules anymore. Can I, an old lady, talk about this important political issue? My son is a descendant of my Jia family, so I, as a grandmother, will naturally plan for him, but this matter is beyond my control. Today, I think of your love for my son, so let me help your aunt go back." , and even cast a cold glance at Mrs. Wang who was standing aside without saying a word, which made Mrs. Wang's heart tremble.

Aunt Zhao saw that Mother Jia spoke so seriously, but she didn't dare to make a mistake after all, so she had to go back to the yard with the maid.

After Aunt Zhao and the juniors had all retreated, Mother Jia began to reprimand Mrs. Wang: "Look at you as a concubine, you really have no bearing at all. No matter how much Huan'er is a concubine, now you have an official position, even if you It's for face, you should be decent. Now that you don't care about face, do you still think you can get it from this bastard? Don't forget, if Jia Huan asks for an imperial order in the future, it will be you This aunt!"

Mrs. Wang lowered her head. Although she didn't dare to refute Jia's mother openly, she was disdainful in her heart. Didn't there be Baoyu for orders or something?Besides, she is still the biological mother of the current imperial concubine, so she doesn't need to care about this bastard who doesn't come to power.Moreover, Mrs. Wang thinks that she is from a family background and has some political insights. Although Jia Huan is a prostitute today, he is probably not a very promising person if he can be dispatched to the frontier by the emperor. , If there is no future, and you always find unhappy bastards for her?Therefore, Mrs. Wang didn't take it seriously. For Jia's mother's words, she went in her left ear and out of her right ear.

Seeing that she was still stubborn, Jia Mu was so angry that she knocked the crutch in her hand with a "bang bang" sound, and waved her out.

Jia Huan still doesn't know what happened in Jia's mansion.As soon as he came out of the palace, he did not return to Jia's mansion, but visited Lin Ruhai as promised.

At this time, Jia Huan had changed from the blue Jinshi scarf uniform to a dark red uniform.After he got to know Yuan, Jia's mother ordered someone to do it, and it didn't take long to complete it.The tailoring of the clothes is quite suitable, and the color is also very flattering. Coupled with Jia Huan's height and handsome appearance, which is obviously higher than his peers because of his martial arts practice, he was peeped by many girls along the way, but Jia Huan himself did not know it at all. Sleep.

Lin Mansion and Jia Mansion are completely different in style, but things are close to the people. This Lin Mansion is more similar to the Lin Mansion that Jia Huan saw when he was in Yangzhou.Not only exquisite, but also elegant everywhere, whether it is pavilions or furniture layout, it is ingenious, it can be seen that thought has been spent.

Jia Huan followed the servant into Lin Ruhai's study, where Lin Ruhai was already waiting.

First it was a meeting, and after the ceremony was over, Jia Huan sat down and looked up at Lin Ruhai carefully.Obviously, Lin Ruhai is having a good life these days. Although his figure is still as thin as before, his complexion is ruddy and his breathing is long, which shows that he is well taken care of.

"Huan will leave Beijing in ten days. Today I am here to visit my uncle and Sister Lin by the way." Jia Huan gave Lin Ruhai the gadgets he had collected from outside. Tanchun and Daiyu were involved in these things. It became a habit for Jia Huan to buy.

Lin Ruhai nodded with a smile, and said, "Fortunately, you are taking care of me. Thank you very much."

Jia Huan also laughed: "Uncle's words are off the mark. Sister Lin treats me like a younger brother, so I naturally treat Sister Lin like a real sister."

Lin Ruhai was very satisfied with Jia Huan's attitude, and said, "After the talk is over, let your sister Lin come over, and you can just give her these gadgets."

After chatting for a while, Lin Ruhai mentioned something to Jia Huan, which was the main reason why he asked Jia Huan to come over today.
