When the younger members of Jia's family came to Xinghua Mansion, it happened that Jia Lian's family went to Beizhou, and Liu Qiuchi sent someone to help these young masters and girls settle down.Some time ago, Xinghua Mansion was besieged for so long. Fortunately, it was just after the autumn harvest, and the spring plowing was not delayed.However, under the guidance of the old farmers, Xinghua Mansion has gradually been able to achieve three crops a year. After such a battle this year, the land outside the city has been ruined so badly that I dare not say three crops, but the original two But familiarity needs to be guaranteed.
So, when a kid from the Jia family came to him by himself, he was a little impatient at first.After all, for Mrs. Lin Ruhai's face, many officials were willing to curry favor with Jia's family.However, people like Liu Qiuchi who were under Lin Yu's subordinates from the beginning did not need it. Although he is only the magistrate of Xinghua Prefecture now, no one knows that he has a bright future in the future.
Nominally speaking, Dongfan is Lin Yu's place of prosperity, but the overly obvious traces of the Zheng family on Dongfan make this a little discounted.To be honest, Beizhou is the real city built by Lin Yu and the place where he started to rise.
However, although Xinghua Mansion is not comparable to Beizhou, there is one thing that is special. Lin Yu is the last magistrate of this prefecture.Based on this alone, Liu Qiuchi received as much attention as Xin Zongping from Beizhou.
Therefore, there is no need for him to please the Jia family.
In the midst of his busy schedule, he spared one ear, and was willing to hear what orders those young masters had.
To his surprise, it was not the oldest Jia Baoyu who came to him, but the younger Jia Huan and Jia Sanye.Liu Qiuchi couldn't help but put down the brush in his hand after speaking out the request.
"Are you going to the orphanage in Beizhou?"
"Exactly." Jia Huan sneaked out to find Liu Zhifu, who was said to have a promising future by the people who received them. He was not a fool, so he naturally knew that he wanted to go to Beijing, which was heavily guarded, in the unfamiliar Xinghua Prefecture. In Zhouzhou, only someone like Liu Zhifu personally introduces him, can he have such an opportunity, and it is also safer.
"Even if Jia's family is gone, Jia Lian is still there, and your brothers and sisters are still there, why go to the orphanage. It's not a good place to enjoy life. I'm afraid you're not used to such a life as a young master," Liu Qiuchi said. To tell the truth, although the orphanage under Lin Yu's rule allowed all the orphans on the street to be raised, the militarized management has always been implemented there, which is very strict.
Moreover, the orphanages in Beizhou are different from those in other places. While accepting militarized management, they also complete their study and life in the orphanages. They will not go to ordinary elementary schools. Only after finishing the six years of middle school will they be released into society.
The inspiration for this orphanage came from Lin Yu's impression of Yubayashi's orphans in the Western Han Dynasty. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, anyone who joined the army must be a son of a good family.At that time, it is the real honor to serve in the army. If the status is not enough, you can't be a soldier.Especially in the Han Dynasty, it was quite strict to enter the Habayashi Army.Some of them are the orphans left by the Habayashi Army who died in battle.They continued to be housed in Shanglinyuan by the emperor, where they received education, and after they became talented, they became a ready source of soldiers.
It was Lin Yu's base camp. Those children usually chose to enter the military camp directly after receiving a rigorous education.And if they enter the military camp, at least they can become a captain, and if they go to the entrance examination, they can become a staff officer.If it is not suitable to enter the barracks, at least one of the township officials must be born.
This group of children has always been the most loyal to Lin Yu. They were raised in childhood, and they are safe to use everywhere.
Thinking of this, Liu Qiuchi couldn't help but look up and down at the undersized Jia Huan, and thought that he had foresight and knew that he was going to the orphanage in Beizhou.Now, those who have graduated from elementary school and are preparing for further studies, which one is not staring at the position there.
Of course, there are opportunities everywhere at this early stage of creation. As long as they are knowledgeable, regardless of where they came from, their future will always be much brighter than when there are as many scholars as dogs in later generations.
He changed his mind, these young masters and girls had just arrived, so they might not have a chance to inquire about anything.Knowing the orphanage in Beizhou, you should just remember what the host said in passing, and then persuaded: "Your family is still there, and it is not up to the standard of an orphan."
Jia Huan's face turned pale, but he still bowed and gave a salute, saying: "I don't want to hide from Zhifu Liu, the boy is just a bastard, everyone can scold him in the original mansion. Before..." He thought of it What, a look of half resentment and half gratitude appeared on his face, "If my uncle hadn't said something for me, I'm afraid I'd be stuck in the capital right now and couldn't get out." On the contrary, no matter how hard Aunt Zhao begged, His so-called father was unwilling to let go.
He collected himself and tried his best to show his worth: "I don't have any gold or silver, but at least I still have this useful body, and I am willing to serve the general!" The ancestor still gave him a thousand silver before they left, but the truth was that he didn't want to take some silver.All these gold and silver are in the hands of his sister, who is a class of women. The ancestors saw that she would not give up to a man, and that Baoyu was so innocent and ignorant of the world, so he asked Tanchun to hand it over to Jia Lian after he arrived in Xinghua Mansion. Signature has been written.
However, along the way, Jia Huan saw that his own sister was guarding him like a thief, his already cold heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and he was determined to go out and think independently.
There is no difference between such a family and no family. Now it seems that it is better to have no family. At least for orphans, he can go to the orphanage and don't have to look at their faces to live.
He looked at Liu Qiuchi, was silent for a while, and asked, "As long as you don't have family members, that's fine, right?"
Liu Qiuchi looked at his firm eyes and sighed. His father didn't have a concubine, but he was also used to the pity of those aunts and concubines in big families. At any rate, the one in front of him still wanted to be self-reliant, so he said, "What are you going to do?" ?”
Jia Huan wrote lightly: "The boy is willing to change his name and surname, and he will never be named Jia again in this life!"
This is an unworkable thing in modern times, after all, Jia Huan is not yet of age.Even if the age of adulthood was relaxed to 16 because of the urgent need for talents under Lin Yu's rule, this age is not something that Jia Huan, who is only ten years old now, can attain.However, it is also at such a time that there is room for maneuver.
After hearing this, Liu Qiuchi first tested his knowledge. Considering his age, he is indeed not bad, what is rare is his spirit.He thought to himself, if he disagreed, he would not be angry for a while, but would just walk away, and I am afraid that there will be more troubles in the future, and this good seed was wasted.
So I wanted to scare him and said: "The hardships of the orphanage are unimaginable, but you have made up your mind? Originally, you were the third young master of the Jia family and the nephew of Mrs. Lin. You will do nothing in the future. What is your future? You know it in your heart. But if you change it like this, there is no room for maneuver, no matter how great the Jia family is, it has nothing to do with you."
Jia Huan smiled and said, "Of course I know, but Baoyu has the life to be a wealthy and idle person, but I don't. I have to eat hard to be a master!"
"It's a good one who suffers from suffering." Liu Qiuchi smiled and said, "As long as you suffer from hardship, opportunities are everywhere now, so why don't you worry about becoming a master?"
He already had an idea in his mind, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will tell you about the new household registration. You go back first and say what you need to say, so as to save you trouble in the future."
When Jia Huan heard this, he felt a bit more settled, knowing that such a person would not make fun of him, he bowed deeply, and said: "So, thank you Master Liu for your hard work."
Looking at his thin figure, Liu Qiuchi sighed inwardly, and called a door to send him back.I folded myself and took a piece of paper to write a letter to Xin Zongping.Ask him to find time to tell Lin Ruhai, and then Lin Ruhai will let Jia Min know.
Such twists and turns are also helpless, Liu Qiuchi can't write directly to Jia Min.The atmosphere in Beizhou is much more open than that of the imperial court, but there is no reason to write letters to female relatives for no reason.Lin Ruhai was in an important place for military aircraft, and letters could not get in. He was not very familiar with Lin Ruhai, so it was better to ask Xin Zongping to convey them.
In his heart, he was more willing to help the concubine of the Jia family, but he couldn't just do it without saying a word.And Jia Lian is busy with a pregnant wife now, and in his heart, he is not enough to make such a big deal, so he might as well ask Jia Huan's serious uncle and aunt directly.
It was night, Lin Ruhai went back to the house.At this time, Jia Min had already returned from the General's Mansion. Although the affairs there were important, they were also confidential, so it was not easy to go there often.Even though Jia Min was not at ease, the General's Mansion was already preparing for the master of gynecology, so she could only go to the General's Mansion while maintaining her normal frequency of going to girls' middle schools.
Daiyu, on the other hand, has already asked for leave for a while, and often goes to the general's residence to stay with Chang Ziqian.She is an unmarried little girl who doesn't attract much attention, so it's good to talk with her and relieve boredom.
It was Lin Ruhai's turn to take a rest when he returned home today, so Jia Min didn't take it as a surprise.Unprepared, he opened his mouth and said, "Baoyu and the others have already arrived in Xinghua Mansion, and they are all safe. The Jia family in the capital is also fine. Brothers and uncles are all in prison, and the female relatives are being imprisoned in the Prison Temple. That's okay for now."
Jia Min paused his hands, relaxed his heart, and opened his mouth: "Amitabha, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"
Lin Ruhai laughed when he heard it, and said: "You are good, you have recited the three Qings of the Buddha, so you can see that you are safe." Then, thinking of the news from Liu Qiuchi, he smiled and said, "There is only one thing, don't be angry when you hear it. " Then he said Jia Huan's words one by one.
No wonder he wanted to comfort him first, because expulsion from the clan itself is a very heavy punishment these days.Jia Huan's self-demand, even changing his name and surname to pretend to be an orphan, shows that he has no nostalgia for this family.This is no longer just a matter of being poked in the back in an era that values the family. It can't be called treason, but it is also cold.
Don't you see, even when Lin Yu was in Gusu, because he didn't have much contact with the tribe, he was secretly said by the tribe.Even though he took out part of his belongings every year, he didn't develop any sense of gratitude. It wasn't until he won the first prize in the exam that the archway was erected.
Jia Huan's move will still be pointed out and secretly reviled in later generations, let alone in the present when more attention is paid to clan relations.
Lin Ruhai frowned, but he didn't want to blame Jia Huan. He could be regarded as a man of human nature, so he naturally knew what was in it.It's just that he felt that Jia Huan didn't need to be so terrific.Now that you have self-reliance, why bother about these relationships.He will be promising in the future, what can the Jia family do with him?
"Forget it!" But Jia Min sighed, but it meant acquiescing. The nostalgia in her eyes obviously reminded her of the past. She is not a sister who did not have a concubine, but these four sisters have no news after they married far away.She is a direct descendant, but she still remembers the silent and gentle smile of her elder sister.She doesn't know what the life of the concubine of the Jia family is like. Since he has a heart, why not let him be fulfilled.Anyway, in Beizhou, she can also take care of her in secret.
In this way, Lin Ruhai had no choice but to send Liu Qiuchi a letter according to his wife's wishes.When Liu Qiuchi saw him, he sighed and went to fetch Jia Huan himself.
Jia Huan was waiting anxiously at Jia Lian's mansion, when he heard rumors from his disciples that someone was looking for him, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
At this time, there were no maidservants to serve her, not to say that there were none, but to keep Baoyu tight first, and the girls followed, not to mention him being such a transparent person.He dug out a cotton shirt, which he had saved after taking some copying jobs outside.Ordinarily at this time, the new edition of printing had already been passed on from Beizhou, but some literati preferred hand-copied books, so the price they paid was higher than in previous years, so that Jia Huan could save enough to buy books in a short period of time. The money for the clothes.
He said that if he didn't want the Jia family's money, he wouldn't take even a piece of cloth with him.This is also his stubborn persistence as a young boy. Maybe looking back decades later, he will feel that he was too naive at that time, but at this time, Jia Huan really regarded it as an item as big as the sky. things to do.
I saw him tidying up his cotton clothes seriously, and walked into the courtyard where Tanchun lived.
Xinghua Mansion is always warm, at this time Tanchun and his two sisters were leaning on the couch with the windows open, doing some work.It wasn't that they were short of money. When they left, apart from the things they couldn't take with them, they took some beloved things, gold and silver with them, and even took away most of the family property of their ancestor Jiamu.Even if you can't live the same life as before, but being more frugal is better than most people.
Yingchun happened to see Jia Huan approaching, so she greeted, "Come on brother Huan, there are fruits to eat here." Jia Huan couldn't help but smiled at her, except for Yuanchun who basically had no influence, Yingchun was a veritable elder sister, even if She is often said by servants to be a wooden person who can't scream when poked with a needle, but in Jia Huan's heart, she is also a rare person who treats him tenderly.
Yingchun greeted Jia Huan while her gaze fell on Jia Huan carefully. Surprise flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Jia Huan's solemn face again, and she couldn't help but fell silent.She is just soft, not stupid, a person who can hold the latitude and longitude in her heart, knows many things in her heart, but can't say it out.
It's just that when Tanchun looked up, he saw Jia Huan coming, and when he saw his attire, he frowned, thinking that he was pretending to be poor to beg for money, so he said lightly, "What's the meaning of this?"
Looking at it, Jia Huan knew that she was planning herself again in her heart, while secretly resenting how many jokes she had made people see because of her ignorance, she sneered, "Third Miss, don't frown, I don't want your money either. There is only one sentence, I will leave today, and you can do it yourself in the future!" The words were really urgent and fast, but there was a bit of Tanchun's sharpness, and they looked like brothers and sisters.
After Jia Huan finished speaking, he felt relieved, turned around and left.
Tanchun was stunned by these words, Yingchun's ominous premonition became a reality, she hurriedly turned over and went to bed, and in a hurry, she even put on the wrong shoes for Tanchun.She hurriedly chased him out, and said, "Brother Huan, stand still."
If Tanchun came to call, Jia Huan would never turn back, but he couldn't bear to hear Yingchun's voice, so he had no choice but to endure the eagerness to leave here, turned around to support Yingchun who was chasing up, and sighed: "Second sister What is there to explain?"
Hearing that Tanchun at the back had understood what was going on with Jia Huan, he was so angry that he was shaking all over, and shouted: "Second sister doesn't care what he does, if you are capable, take off your clothes, and don't want any of Jia's things." take away."
Jia Huan was about to burst into anger, but after hearing these words, he calmed down and said, "I have worked so hard to earn money to buy some clothes, so I don't need the third girl to do it for me." On Yingchun's luminous face, she slowed down and said in a low voice, "Second sister, let's stand up anyway, it's different under the general's rule, the daughter's family can also establish a household, don't call the greedy second brother Lian's family. I just married you for a little money, just hold the dowry money in the palm of your hand, and you will have a good life in the future!"
These days, he only asked the soldiers from Beizhou to inquire. Seeing that he was young, they didn't ask any important secrets, just some local customs, and they were happy to tell him about it.
Yingchun grabbed Jia Huan's hand and cried: "You are promising, I can only be happy for you, and I have only one question, can we meet again in the future?"
Jia Huan was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know either." Who can say for sure what will happen in the future, besides, his new household registration is handed over to Liu Qiuchi, so I don't know what his name will be in the future. Know where the future lies.
"Wait a minute." Yingchun hurried back, and when she came out with a small purse, Jia Huan's thin figure had disappeared. She stood there for a while, but finally left in a daze go back.
Tanchun saw that they looked more like siblings than her, so he said: "When he goes out and suffers, he will know to come back. Since he is so ignorant, why should the second sister worry?"
Yingchun asked back: "What if he never comes back?"
Tanchun was silent for a while, then snorted and said, "Then I respect him three points." After saying that, he picked up the work in his hand and started to do it again.Seeing this nonchalant expression, he was not worried at all, obviously thinking that sooner or later Jia Huan would learn his lesson and beg to come back by himself.
Not to mention that the siblings have never seen each other again in this life. After Jia Huan traveled all the way by water, he finally arrived in Beizhou.
He didn't receive any care during the journey, and lived in the cabin of ordinary sailors.What I ate was dried salted fish and what I drank was stale stale water.He knew that this was Liu Qiuchi's last test for him, and he survived it.
Even, because he was literate and learned, and was willing to teach those sailors for free, he also won the title of Mr. Little on board.Although this doesn't improve his salary much, after all, the captain with the highest status only eats and uses these things.However, the feeling of being respected with his own ability made Jia Huan feel satisfied, and it strengthened his confidence not to go back.
After entering the orphanage, he realized that everything Liu Qiuchi told him was not aimless.This is really the beginning of suffering, but every meal here is rough, but there are meat and vegetables, fish and meat. Although the daily training is rigorous, the instructors care about each of them.After training, they are often taught to massage each other to relax.
The daily schedule is also very tight, but this is not a big problem for Jia Huan.After all, what he received in the Jia family was an elite education, and the only thing he had to keep up with was counting.He is not very old yet, and it is not difficult to learn again.
Especially here, you don't need to work hard to master a degree, unlike when you were in Jia's house, if you want to live a good life, you can't be too outstanding, and Mrs. Wang is looking for trouble.Of course, it can't be too incompetent, so that Jia Zheng, who doesn't care about him at all, will be even more indifferent.
In the orphanage, as long as he studies hard, he will be rewarded if he studies well.With everyone working hard, he no longer considered moderation due to the influence of the general environment.You can only go forward desperately and strive to be the first. Even so, you still have the worry of being squeezed down.
The hard but relaxed life made him quickly forget about the past at Jia's house, until the rare day of rest, when they went to the school field in twos and threes to relax and play, he heard the report about the battle in the north .
The Beizhou Orphanage is not allowed to step out of the gate even on the rest day. Jia Huan, no, it should be changed to Lin Zi now. Most of the orphans here do not have a surname, so they will follow Lin Yu who took them in. Family name, Jia Huanxin's household registration is such a name.It was a surprise that he quickly integrated into this group.Lin Zi was puzzled at first why there was such an order, but today he understood why.
"I heard that the north side is about to move. It's a pity that we are not old enough to join the army. Otherwise, it would be a perfect opportunity for one person to record one military merit." The leader is the most respected person in the orphanage, his He is the best at marksmanship and good at studying, and like a big brother, he is willing to take care of the children around him. Even the instructors and gentlemen also value him.
At this time, he was much more relaxed among his companions of the same age, and he could no longer act calmly. He said with rare regret, "This opportunity will never come again."
Although he spoke vaguely, everyone knew that it was about Lin Yu's mobilization of food and warships, that Lin Zi was accepted by this small group, and they didn't really know what they were talking about.However, he always talked less and listened more, and he quickly understood that he was talking about news that should have been important military affairs.
Concentrating forces and launching the Northern Expedition in one fell swoop, isn't it the most important military situation?I don't know how they knew, but Lin Zi at least understood the reason why this place is isolated from the world.They go out for training occasionally, but they just go to the North State training camp nearby.The soldiers there are at least one hundred households, and even one can fight ten ordinary soldiers.
Lin Qing, who spoke first, was unanimously respected by everyone because he was able to go three rounds under their hands.
"I heard that Instructor Tong was also sent there." A round-faced boy next to him said enviously, "I really want to sneak there, but that's the Forbidden City." Lin Qing slapped the back of the head before he finished speaking. , shouted in a low voice, "Shut up, just know it in your heart, do you have to say it out loud?"
The round-faced boy touched his head in embarrassment, smiled silly, and fell silent.
A few people chatted and laughed, Lin Zi stole an opportunity, walked up to Lin Qing, and asked: "Even if such important military information is not directly disclosed, will there be no risk of leaking it?"
Lin Qing looked at him with a smile, stretched out her arms and hooked Lin Zi's neck, and dragged him to her room like a chicken.
"Only water, just enough to drink." In the room, Lin Qing gave him a glass of water. This is the treatment of being alone in a room only if he is the first in civil and military affairs in the school. The awards in the row are enviable.
Seeing that his eyes were fixed on those awards, Lin Qing said proudly: "In the future, there will be rows of medals there."
Lin Zi nodded seriously and said, "Brother Qing is missing a chance."
"It's still a year away, and I'll be sixteen." Lin Qing stretched out two fingers to show a little distance, and said, "That's just a little bit, I couldn't catch up with this year's Northern Expedition."
Lin Zi smiled and said: "The Northern Expedition is just the beginning, there are still many places to be crusaded in the future, Brother Qing He Chou has no place to use his skills."
"Isn't that different in meaning? Anyone who knows about this great battle will not envy those who can see it with their own eyes. Maybe one of them will be able to take down the Emperor of Tartars with their own hands." Lin Qingyao thought, his eyes flickering. The light came out, "This is a great event that will last forever, and it may even be praised by the general." That is really worth dying.
Lin Zi understood why these people were so fanatical about the general. He didn't dare to say that he had met Lin Yu a few times, and had received gifts and encouragement from him.Afraid of being held down by these fanatics, not afraid of them asking other things, but he really couldn't talk about his old days.Moreover, it is undeniable that it was that short sentence that gave him the idea of self-reliance, and it was implemented relying on the other party.
He may not have the fanaticism of these people, but he has to say that he is also grateful to Lin Yu in his heart.
"Is the level of authority here high?" Lin Zi asked curiously, this word was newly learned after he came here.
"We don't even count as an official soldier. How can we have any level of authority." Lin Qing smiled, then pointed to the Beizhou training camp next door to them, and said, "It should be said that their authority level is very high. High." Knowing that this newcomer didn't understand a lot, he explained in detail.
Beizhou training camp is Huang Zhong's special forces training center. The difference is that Huangshi's local branch office is also located here.Anyone who enters this place is only allowed in after undergoing extensive background checks.Of course, their level of authority can be said to be quite high. In this respect, only the top Xin Zongping and Lin Ruhai in Beizhou can compare with them.Even the general's mansion with only one mistress didn't know as much as they did.
Out of various considerations, the orphanage was built next to the training camp.The instructors and gentlemen inside even used local materials, pulled them directly from the training camp, and taught these seedlings.From time to time, these instructors will take these dolls to the training camp to practice shooting and feel the atmosphere of some real military camps.
Therefore, rather than an orphanage, this place might as well be called a preparatory camp for a training camp.
Under such circumstances, no matter how good their secrecy work is, how could these orphans who often appear here not notice it at all.Therefore, under Lin Yu's personal instruction, the authority of this part is equivalent to half-opening to these children.At the same time, supervision has also been strengthened.
Of course, these children are also sensible. If the Northern Expedition hadn't been too exciting this time, they wouldn't have talked about it.
"I see." At this moment, Lin Zi understood what he thought was just a small request, and how much risk Liu Qiuchi took in it.While being moved in his heart, he secretly remembered this benefactor.
He will serve Lin Yu all his life, the person who wakes him up with a single word, makes him no longer confused, and provides him with his current life.However, as for the Jia family's uncle and Master Liu, one of them had the grace to save his life, and the other had a feeling of knowing each other. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would definitely do the same in the future without compromising the interests of the general. To repay them.
Even if this is the case in the orphanage, it has exploded in the training camp, which is only a thin line away from the opportunity of the Northern Expedition.
Of course, it is impossible for them to come out in full force. It is necessary to stay behind, but no one wants to be such a left behind person.Let me ask, whoever wants to miss such an opportunity of the Northern Expedition and even personally chasing the tartar behind his ass is a fool.
Therefore, during this period of time, Huang Shi was so annoyed that he didn't want to go back to his office, so he hid in Lin Ruhai's office in the arsenal next door.
Lin Ruhai has gotten used to Huangshi's behavior of coming over to drink tea these days, without raising his head, he said: "I don't entertain anymore, I can do it myself." At the beginning, he knew that this was the person who was in charge of Lin Yu's secret place, which was equivalent to that of the former Ming Dynasty. The head of Jin Yiwei is still very reluctant to have a relationship with the other party.But he couldn't stand people coming every day, and he insisted that he had nothing to say to others, so he let him go.
Huang Shi chuckled, took out the tea leaves familiarly, boiled hot water to make tea, and poured a cup for Lin Ruhai: "Your place is still clean, and my place is about to be overthrown."
"It's a good thing that the army's spirit is available." Lin Ruhai put down the pen in his hand. He has been used to using charcoal pens for a while in Beizhou. Although the writing is a little less beautiful than brushes, it is more convenient and quick, especially for official business. When it's about to pile up.
Since the last time he went back to tell Jia Min about Jia Huan, he never went back.There is really no time. Lin Yu issued a military order, and his side followed up the whole process. He also had to manage the production progress of the weapons and connect with Xin Zongping. There was a lot of work, and he almost made a fuss over tea. Time is running out.
He took the tea Huangshi poured for him, took a sip, stood up and stretched his body.Now it is not as young as it was when I was sitting for a long time. I always feel that the bones of my whole body are creaking, like a machine in a factory that has not been oiled.
Huang Shi raised his eyes and said with a smile: "You can't do this, it won't work, I'll send a boy to massage you later, loosen your muscles and bones."
Lin Ruhai had a strange expression on hearing this, and said, "Do you still know this?"
"There is nothing wrong with it." Huang Shi laughed and said, "The basic skills must be practiced solidly. It's not that you are sore every day. This massage skill is only one hand. This is the first thing to learn." What is the specific basic skills? He just said it.
Of course, Lin Ruhai wouldn't ask this. Although the friendship between gentlemen is pretty good now, he has always had a sense of proportion when he shouldn't ask.On the contrary, there was a person who asked Huangshi to take a look before, and now he asked, "How is that kid doing now?"
Knowing that he was referring to Jia Huan, Huang Shi, who is now named Lin Zi, said, "I see that he is living a very healthy life. He has both eyesight and heart. He was buried in Jia's house before."
Lin Ruhai seldom heard Huang Shi praise a person so much, and just now he heard that Jia Huan was doing well. After all, in his heart, Earthly Branches was not a good place.He asked calmly: "You are quite optimistic?"
Huang Shi waved his hand and said: "Don't care what you think, it's early. Besides, if this day comes, you can't stop it."
Lin Ruhai remained silent.
When the two were having tea, they followed Huangshi all the time. At this time, the boy guarding outside knocked on the door and said in a low voice, "Xin'er is coming from the south. A businessman named Duhu seems to have found something in the mouth of the general." land."
So, when a kid from the Jia family came to him by himself, he was a little impatient at first.After all, for Mrs. Lin Ruhai's face, many officials were willing to curry favor with Jia's family.However, people like Liu Qiuchi who were under Lin Yu's subordinates from the beginning did not need it. Although he is only the magistrate of Xinghua Prefecture now, no one knows that he has a bright future in the future.
Nominally speaking, Dongfan is Lin Yu's place of prosperity, but the overly obvious traces of the Zheng family on Dongfan make this a little discounted.To be honest, Beizhou is the real city built by Lin Yu and the place where he started to rise.
However, although Xinghua Mansion is not comparable to Beizhou, there is one thing that is special. Lin Yu is the last magistrate of this prefecture.Based on this alone, Liu Qiuchi received as much attention as Xin Zongping from Beizhou.
Therefore, there is no need for him to please the Jia family.
In the midst of his busy schedule, he spared one ear, and was willing to hear what orders those young masters had.
To his surprise, it was not the oldest Jia Baoyu who came to him, but the younger Jia Huan and Jia Sanye.Liu Qiuchi couldn't help but put down the brush in his hand after speaking out the request.
"Are you going to the orphanage in Beizhou?"
"Exactly." Jia Huan sneaked out to find Liu Zhifu, who was said to have a promising future by the people who received them. He was not a fool, so he naturally knew that he wanted to go to Beijing, which was heavily guarded, in the unfamiliar Xinghua Prefecture. In Zhouzhou, only someone like Liu Zhifu personally introduces him, can he have such an opportunity, and it is also safer.
"Even if Jia's family is gone, Jia Lian is still there, and your brothers and sisters are still there, why go to the orphanage. It's not a good place to enjoy life. I'm afraid you're not used to such a life as a young master," Liu Qiuchi said. To tell the truth, although the orphanage under Lin Yu's rule allowed all the orphans on the street to be raised, the militarized management has always been implemented there, which is very strict.
Moreover, the orphanages in Beizhou are different from those in other places. While accepting militarized management, they also complete their study and life in the orphanages. They will not go to ordinary elementary schools. Only after finishing the six years of middle school will they be released into society.
The inspiration for this orphanage came from Lin Yu's impression of Yubayashi's orphans in the Western Han Dynasty. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, anyone who joined the army must be a son of a good family.At that time, it is the real honor to serve in the army. If the status is not enough, you can't be a soldier.Especially in the Han Dynasty, it was quite strict to enter the Habayashi Army.Some of them are the orphans left by the Habayashi Army who died in battle.They continued to be housed in Shanglinyuan by the emperor, where they received education, and after they became talented, they became a ready source of soldiers.
It was Lin Yu's base camp. Those children usually chose to enter the military camp directly after receiving a rigorous education.And if they enter the military camp, at least they can become a captain, and if they go to the entrance examination, they can become a staff officer.If it is not suitable to enter the barracks, at least one of the township officials must be born.
This group of children has always been the most loyal to Lin Yu. They were raised in childhood, and they are safe to use everywhere.
Thinking of this, Liu Qiuchi couldn't help but look up and down at the undersized Jia Huan, and thought that he had foresight and knew that he was going to the orphanage in Beizhou.Now, those who have graduated from elementary school and are preparing for further studies, which one is not staring at the position there.
Of course, there are opportunities everywhere at this early stage of creation. As long as they are knowledgeable, regardless of where they came from, their future will always be much brighter than when there are as many scholars as dogs in later generations.
He changed his mind, these young masters and girls had just arrived, so they might not have a chance to inquire about anything.Knowing the orphanage in Beizhou, you should just remember what the host said in passing, and then persuaded: "Your family is still there, and it is not up to the standard of an orphan."
Jia Huan's face turned pale, but he still bowed and gave a salute, saying: "I don't want to hide from Zhifu Liu, the boy is just a bastard, everyone can scold him in the original mansion. Before..." He thought of it What, a look of half resentment and half gratitude appeared on his face, "If my uncle hadn't said something for me, I'm afraid I'd be stuck in the capital right now and couldn't get out." On the contrary, no matter how hard Aunt Zhao begged, His so-called father was unwilling to let go.
He collected himself and tried his best to show his worth: "I don't have any gold or silver, but at least I still have this useful body, and I am willing to serve the general!" The ancestor still gave him a thousand silver before they left, but the truth was that he didn't want to take some silver.All these gold and silver are in the hands of his sister, who is a class of women. The ancestors saw that she would not give up to a man, and that Baoyu was so innocent and ignorant of the world, so he asked Tanchun to hand it over to Jia Lian after he arrived in Xinghua Mansion. Signature has been written.
However, along the way, Jia Huan saw that his own sister was guarding him like a thief, his already cold heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and he was determined to go out and think independently.
There is no difference between such a family and no family. Now it seems that it is better to have no family. At least for orphans, he can go to the orphanage and don't have to look at their faces to live.
He looked at Liu Qiuchi, was silent for a while, and asked, "As long as you don't have family members, that's fine, right?"
Liu Qiuchi looked at his firm eyes and sighed. His father didn't have a concubine, but he was also used to the pity of those aunts and concubines in big families. At any rate, the one in front of him still wanted to be self-reliant, so he said, "What are you going to do?" ?”
Jia Huan wrote lightly: "The boy is willing to change his name and surname, and he will never be named Jia again in this life!"
This is an unworkable thing in modern times, after all, Jia Huan is not yet of age.Even if the age of adulthood was relaxed to 16 because of the urgent need for talents under Lin Yu's rule, this age is not something that Jia Huan, who is only ten years old now, can attain.However, it is also at such a time that there is room for maneuver.
After hearing this, Liu Qiuchi first tested his knowledge. Considering his age, he is indeed not bad, what is rare is his spirit.He thought to himself, if he disagreed, he would not be angry for a while, but would just walk away, and I am afraid that there will be more troubles in the future, and this good seed was wasted.
So I wanted to scare him and said: "The hardships of the orphanage are unimaginable, but you have made up your mind? Originally, you were the third young master of the Jia family and the nephew of Mrs. Lin. You will do nothing in the future. What is your future? You know it in your heart. But if you change it like this, there is no room for maneuver, no matter how great the Jia family is, it has nothing to do with you."
Jia Huan smiled and said, "Of course I know, but Baoyu has the life to be a wealthy and idle person, but I don't. I have to eat hard to be a master!"
"It's a good one who suffers from suffering." Liu Qiuchi smiled and said, "As long as you suffer from hardship, opportunities are everywhere now, so why don't you worry about becoming a master?"
He already had an idea in his mind, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will tell you about the new household registration. You go back first and say what you need to say, so as to save you trouble in the future."
When Jia Huan heard this, he felt a bit more settled, knowing that such a person would not make fun of him, he bowed deeply, and said: "So, thank you Master Liu for your hard work."
Looking at his thin figure, Liu Qiuchi sighed inwardly, and called a door to send him back.I folded myself and took a piece of paper to write a letter to Xin Zongping.Ask him to find time to tell Lin Ruhai, and then Lin Ruhai will let Jia Min know.
Such twists and turns are also helpless, Liu Qiuchi can't write directly to Jia Min.The atmosphere in Beizhou is much more open than that of the imperial court, but there is no reason to write letters to female relatives for no reason.Lin Ruhai was in an important place for military aircraft, and letters could not get in. He was not very familiar with Lin Ruhai, so it was better to ask Xin Zongping to convey them.
In his heart, he was more willing to help the concubine of the Jia family, but he couldn't just do it without saying a word.And Jia Lian is busy with a pregnant wife now, and in his heart, he is not enough to make such a big deal, so he might as well ask Jia Huan's serious uncle and aunt directly.
It was night, Lin Ruhai went back to the house.At this time, Jia Min had already returned from the General's Mansion. Although the affairs there were important, they were also confidential, so it was not easy to go there often.Even though Jia Min was not at ease, the General's Mansion was already preparing for the master of gynecology, so she could only go to the General's Mansion while maintaining her normal frequency of going to girls' middle schools.
Daiyu, on the other hand, has already asked for leave for a while, and often goes to the general's residence to stay with Chang Ziqian.She is an unmarried little girl who doesn't attract much attention, so it's good to talk with her and relieve boredom.
It was Lin Ruhai's turn to take a rest when he returned home today, so Jia Min didn't take it as a surprise.Unprepared, he opened his mouth and said, "Baoyu and the others have already arrived in Xinghua Mansion, and they are all safe. The Jia family in the capital is also fine. Brothers and uncles are all in prison, and the female relatives are being imprisoned in the Prison Temple. That's okay for now."
Jia Min paused his hands, relaxed his heart, and opened his mouth: "Amitabha, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"
Lin Ruhai laughed when he heard it, and said: "You are good, you have recited the three Qings of the Buddha, so you can see that you are safe." Then, thinking of the news from Liu Qiuchi, he smiled and said, "There is only one thing, don't be angry when you hear it. " Then he said Jia Huan's words one by one.
No wonder he wanted to comfort him first, because expulsion from the clan itself is a very heavy punishment these days.Jia Huan's self-demand, even changing his name and surname to pretend to be an orphan, shows that he has no nostalgia for this family.This is no longer just a matter of being poked in the back in an era that values the family. It can't be called treason, but it is also cold.
Don't you see, even when Lin Yu was in Gusu, because he didn't have much contact with the tribe, he was secretly said by the tribe.Even though he took out part of his belongings every year, he didn't develop any sense of gratitude. It wasn't until he won the first prize in the exam that the archway was erected.
Jia Huan's move will still be pointed out and secretly reviled in later generations, let alone in the present when more attention is paid to clan relations.
Lin Ruhai frowned, but he didn't want to blame Jia Huan. He could be regarded as a man of human nature, so he naturally knew what was in it.It's just that he felt that Jia Huan didn't need to be so terrific.Now that you have self-reliance, why bother about these relationships.He will be promising in the future, what can the Jia family do with him?
"Forget it!" But Jia Min sighed, but it meant acquiescing. The nostalgia in her eyes obviously reminded her of the past. She is not a sister who did not have a concubine, but these four sisters have no news after they married far away.She is a direct descendant, but she still remembers the silent and gentle smile of her elder sister.She doesn't know what the life of the concubine of the Jia family is like. Since he has a heart, why not let him be fulfilled.Anyway, in Beizhou, she can also take care of her in secret.
In this way, Lin Ruhai had no choice but to send Liu Qiuchi a letter according to his wife's wishes.When Liu Qiuchi saw him, he sighed and went to fetch Jia Huan himself.
Jia Huan was waiting anxiously at Jia Lian's mansion, when he heard rumors from his disciples that someone was looking for him, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
At this time, there were no maidservants to serve her, not to say that there were none, but to keep Baoyu tight first, and the girls followed, not to mention him being such a transparent person.He dug out a cotton shirt, which he had saved after taking some copying jobs outside.Ordinarily at this time, the new edition of printing had already been passed on from Beizhou, but some literati preferred hand-copied books, so the price they paid was higher than in previous years, so that Jia Huan could save enough to buy books in a short period of time. The money for the clothes.
He said that if he didn't want the Jia family's money, he wouldn't take even a piece of cloth with him.This is also his stubborn persistence as a young boy. Maybe looking back decades later, he will feel that he was too naive at that time, but at this time, Jia Huan really regarded it as an item as big as the sky. things to do.
I saw him tidying up his cotton clothes seriously, and walked into the courtyard where Tanchun lived.
Xinghua Mansion is always warm, at this time Tanchun and his two sisters were leaning on the couch with the windows open, doing some work.It wasn't that they were short of money. When they left, apart from the things they couldn't take with them, they took some beloved things, gold and silver with them, and even took away most of the family property of their ancestor Jiamu.Even if you can't live the same life as before, but being more frugal is better than most people.
Yingchun happened to see Jia Huan approaching, so she greeted, "Come on brother Huan, there are fruits to eat here." Jia Huan couldn't help but smiled at her, except for Yuanchun who basically had no influence, Yingchun was a veritable elder sister, even if She is often said by servants to be a wooden person who can't scream when poked with a needle, but in Jia Huan's heart, she is also a rare person who treats him tenderly.
Yingchun greeted Jia Huan while her gaze fell on Jia Huan carefully. Surprise flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Jia Huan's solemn face again, and she couldn't help but fell silent.She is just soft, not stupid, a person who can hold the latitude and longitude in her heart, knows many things in her heart, but can't say it out.
It's just that when Tanchun looked up, he saw Jia Huan coming, and when he saw his attire, he frowned, thinking that he was pretending to be poor to beg for money, so he said lightly, "What's the meaning of this?"
Looking at it, Jia Huan knew that she was planning herself again in her heart, while secretly resenting how many jokes she had made people see because of her ignorance, she sneered, "Third Miss, don't frown, I don't want your money either. There is only one sentence, I will leave today, and you can do it yourself in the future!" The words were really urgent and fast, but there was a bit of Tanchun's sharpness, and they looked like brothers and sisters.
After Jia Huan finished speaking, he felt relieved, turned around and left.
Tanchun was stunned by these words, Yingchun's ominous premonition became a reality, she hurriedly turned over and went to bed, and in a hurry, she even put on the wrong shoes for Tanchun.She hurriedly chased him out, and said, "Brother Huan, stand still."
If Tanchun came to call, Jia Huan would never turn back, but he couldn't bear to hear Yingchun's voice, so he had no choice but to endure the eagerness to leave here, turned around to support Yingchun who was chasing up, and sighed: "Second sister What is there to explain?"
Hearing that Tanchun at the back had understood what was going on with Jia Huan, he was so angry that he was shaking all over, and shouted: "Second sister doesn't care what he does, if you are capable, take off your clothes, and don't want any of Jia's things." take away."
Jia Huan was about to burst into anger, but after hearing these words, he calmed down and said, "I have worked so hard to earn money to buy some clothes, so I don't need the third girl to do it for me." On Yingchun's luminous face, she slowed down and said in a low voice, "Second sister, let's stand up anyway, it's different under the general's rule, the daughter's family can also establish a household, don't call the greedy second brother Lian's family. I just married you for a little money, just hold the dowry money in the palm of your hand, and you will have a good life in the future!"
These days, he only asked the soldiers from Beizhou to inquire. Seeing that he was young, they didn't ask any important secrets, just some local customs, and they were happy to tell him about it.
Yingchun grabbed Jia Huan's hand and cried: "You are promising, I can only be happy for you, and I have only one question, can we meet again in the future?"
Jia Huan was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know either." Who can say for sure what will happen in the future, besides, his new household registration is handed over to Liu Qiuchi, so I don't know what his name will be in the future. Know where the future lies.
"Wait a minute." Yingchun hurried back, and when she came out with a small purse, Jia Huan's thin figure had disappeared. She stood there for a while, but finally left in a daze go back.
Tanchun saw that they looked more like siblings than her, so he said: "When he goes out and suffers, he will know to come back. Since he is so ignorant, why should the second sister worry?"
Yingchun asked back: "What if he never comes back?"
Tanchun was silent for a while, then snorted and said, "Then I respect him three points." After saying that, he picked up the work in his hand and started to do it again.Seeing this nonchalant expression, he was not worried at all, obviously thinking that sooner or later Jia Huan would learn his lesson and beg to come back by himself.
Not to mention that the siblings have never seen each other again in this life. After Jia Huan traveled all the way by water, he finally arrived in Beizhou.
He didn't receive any care during the journey, and lived in the cabin of ordinary sailors.What I ate was dried salted fish and what I drank was stale stale water.He knew that this was Liu Qiuchi's last test for him, and he survived it.
Even, because he was literate and learned, and was willing to teach those sailors for free, he also won the title of Mr. Little on board.Although this doesn't improve his salary much, after all, the captain with the highest status only eats and uses these things.However, the feeling of being respected with his own ability made Jia Huan feel satisfied, and it strengthened his confidence not to go back.
After entering the orphanage, he realized that everything Liu Qiuchi told him was not aimless.This is really the beginning of suffering, but every meal here is rough, but there are meat and vegetables, fish and meat. Although the daily training is rigorous, the instructors care about each of them.After training, they are often taught to massage each other to relax.
The daily schedule is also very tight, but this is not a big problem for Jia Huan.After all, what he received in the Jia family was an elite education, and the only thing he had to keep up with was counting.He is not very old yet, and it is not difficult to learn again.
Especially here, you don't need to work hard to master a degree, unlike when you were in Jia's house, if you want to live a good life, you can't be too outstanding, and Mrs. Wang is looking for trouble.Of course, it can't be too incompetent, so that Jia Zheng, who doesn't care about him at all, will be even more indifferent.
In the orphanage, as long as he studies hard, he will be rewarded if he studies well.With everyone working hard, he no longer considered moderation due to the influence of the general environment.You can only go forward desperately and strive to be the first. Even so, you still have the worry of being squeezed down.
The hard but relaxed life made him quickly forget about the past at Jia's house, until the rare day of rest, when they went to the school field in twos and threes to relax and play, he heard the report about the battle in the north .
The Beizhou Orphanage is not allowed to step out of the gate even on the rest day. Jia Huan, no, it should be changed to Lin Zi now. Most of the orphans here do not have a surname, so they will follow Lin Yu who took them in. Family name, Jia Huanxin's household registration is such a name.It was a surprise that he quickly integrated into this group.Lin Zi was puzzled at first why there was such an order, but today he understood why.
"I heard that the north side is about to move. It's a pity that we are not old enough to join the army. Otherwise, it would be a perfect opportunity for one person to record one military merit." The leader is the most respected person in the orphanage, his He is the best at marksmanship and good at studying, and like a big brother, he is willing to take care of the children around him. Even the instructors and gentlemen also value him.
At this time, he was much more relaxed among his companions of the same age, and he could no longer act calmly. He said with rare regret, "This opportunity will never come again."
Although he spoke vaguely, everyone knew that it was about Lin Yu's mobilization of food and warships, that Lin Zi was accepted by this small group, and they didn't really know what they were talking about.However, he always talked less and listened more, and he quickly understood that he was talking about news that should have been important military affairs.
Concentrating forces and launching the Northern Expedition in one fell swoop, isn't it the most important military situation?I don't know how they knew, but Lin Zi at least understood the reason why this place is isolated from the world.They go out for training occasionally, but they just go to the North State training camp nearby.The soldiers there are at least one hundred households, and even one can fight ten ordinary soldiers.
Lin Qing, who spoke first, was unanimously respected by everyone because he was able to go three rounds under their hands.
"I heard that Instructor Tong was also sent there." A round-faced boy next to him said enviously, "I really want to sneak there, but that's the Forbidden City." Lin Qing slapped the back of the head before he finished speaking. , shouted in a low voice, "Shut up, just know it in your heart, do you have to say it out loud?"
The round-faced boy touched his head in embarrassment, smiled silly, and fell silent.
A few people chatted and laughed, Lin Zi stole an opportunity, walked up to Lin Qing, and asked: "Even if such important military information is not directly disclosed, will there be no risk of leaking it?"
Lin Qing looked at him with a smile, stretched out her arms and hooked Lin Zi's neck, and dragged him to her room like a chicken.
"Only water, just enough to drink." In the room, Lin Qing gave him a glass of water. This is the treatment of being alone in a room only if he is the first in civil and military affairs in the school. The awards in the row are enviable.
Seeing that his eyes were fixed on those awards, Lin Qing said proudly: "In the future, there will be rows of medals there."
Lin Zi nodded seriously and said, "Brother Qing is missing a chance."
"It's still a year away, and I'll be sixteen." Lin Qing stretched out two fingers to show a little distance, and said, "That's just a little bit, I couldn't catch up with this year's Northern Expedition."
Lin Zi smiled and said: "The Northern Expedition is just the beginning, there are still many places to be crusaded in the future, Brother Qing He Chou has no place to use his skills."
"Isn't that different in meaning? Anyone who knows about this great battle will not envy those who can see it with their own eyes. Maybe one of them will be able to take down the Emperor of Tartars with their own hands." Lin Qingyao thought, his eyes flickering. The light came out, "This is a great event that will last forever, and it may even be praised by the general." That is really worth dying.
Lin Zi understood why these people were so fanatical about the general. He didn't dare to say that he had met Lin Yu a few times, and had received gifts and encouragement from him.Afraid of being held down by these fanatics, not afraid of them asking other things, but he really couldn't talk about his old days.Moreover, it is undeniable that it was that short sentence that gave him the idea of self-reliance, and it was implemented relying on the other party.
He may not have the fanaticism of these people, but he has to say that he is also grateful to Lin Yu in his heart.
"Is the level of authority here high?" Lin Zi asked curiously, this word was newly learned after he came here.
"We don't even count as an official soldier. How can we have any level of authority." Lin Qing smiled, then pointed to the Beizhou training camp next door to them, and said, "It should be said that their authority level is very high. High." Knowing that this newcomer didn't understand a lot, he explained in detail.
Beizhou training camp is Huang Zhong's special forces training center. The difference is that Huangshi's local branch office is also located here.Anyone who enters this place is only allowed in after undergoing extensive background checks.Of course, their level of authority can be said to be quite high. In this respect, only the top Xin Zongping and Lin Ruhai in Beizhou can compare with them.Even the general's mansion with only one mistress didn't know as much as they did.
Out of various considerations, the orphanage was built next to the training camp.The instructors and gentlemen inside even used local materials, pulled them directly from the training camp, and taught these seedlings.From time to time, these instructors will take these dolls to the training camp to practice shooting and feel the atmosphere of some real military camps.
Therefore, rather than an orphanage, this place might as well be called a preparatory camp for a training camp.
Under such circumstances, no matter how good their secrecy work is, how could these orphans who often appear here not notice it at all.Therefore, under Lin Yu's personal instruction, the authority of this part is equivalent to half-opening to these children.At the same time, supervision has also been strengthened.
Of course, these children are also sensible. If the Northern Expedition hadn't been too exciting this time, they wouldn't have talked about it.
"I see." At this moment, Lin Zi understood what he thought was just a small request, and how much risk Liu Qiuchi took in it.While being moved in his heart, he secretly remembered this benefactor.
He will serve Lin Yu all his life, the person who wakes him up with a single word, makes him no longer confused, and provides him with his current life.However, as for the Jia family's uncle and Master Liu, one of them had the grace to save his life, and the other had a feeling of knowing each other. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would definitely do the same in the future without compromising the interests of the general. To repay them.
Even if this is the case in the orphanage, it has exploded in the training camp, which is only a thin line away from the opportunity of the Northern Expedition.
Of course, it is impossible for them to come out in full force. It is necessary to stay behind, but no one wants to be such a left behind person.Let me ask, whoever wants to miss such an opportunity of the Northern Expedition and even personally chasing the tartar behind his ass is a fool.
Therefore, during this period of time, Huang Shi was so annoyed that he didn't want to go back to his office, so he hid in Lin Ruhai's office in the arsenal next door.
Lin Ruhai has gotten used to Huangshi's behavior of coming over to drink tea these days, without raising his head, he said: "I don't entertain anymore, I can do it myself." At the beginning, he knew that this was the person who was in charge of Lin Yu's secret place, which was equivalent to that of the former Ming Dynasty. The head of Jin Yiwei is still very reluctant to have a relationship with the other party.But he couldn't stand people coming every day, and he insisted that he had nothing to say to others, so he let him go.
Huang Shi chuckled, took out the tea leaves familiarly, boiled hot water to make tea, and poured a cup for Lin Ruhai: "Your place is still clean, and my place is about to be overthrown."
"It's a good thing that the army's spirit is available." Lin Ruhai put down the pen in his hand. He has been used to using charcoal pens for a while in Beizhou. Although the writing is a little less beautiful than brushes, it is more convenient and quick, especially for official business. When it's about to pile up.
Since the last time he went back to tell Jia Min about Jia Huan, he never went back.There is really no time. Lin Yu issued a military order, and his side followed up the whole process. He also had to manage the production progress of the weapons and connect with Xin Zongping. There was a lot of work, and he almost made a fuss over tea. Time is running out.
He took the tea Huangshi poured for him, took a sip, stood up and stretched his body.Now it is not as young as it was when I was sitting for a long time. I always feel that the bones of my whole body are creaking, like a machine in a factory that has not been oiled.
Huang Shi raised his eyes and said with a smile: "You can't do this, it won't work, I'll send a boy to massage you later, loosen your muscles and bones."
Lin Ruhai had a strange expression on hearing this, and said, "Do you still know this?"
"There is nothing wrong with it." Huang Shi laughed and said, "The basic skills must be practiced solidly. It's not that you are sore every day. This massage skill is only one hand. This is the first thing to learn." What is the specific basic skills? He just said it.
Of course, Lin Ruhai wouldn't ask this. Although the friendship between gentlemen is pretty good now, he has always had a sense of proportion when he shouldn't ask.On the contrary, there was a person who asked Huangshi to take a look before, and now he asked, "How is that kid doing now?"
Knowing that he was referring to Jia Huan, Huang Shi, who is now named Lin Zi, said, "I see that he is living a very healthy life. He has both eyesight and heart. He was buried in Jia's house before."
Lin Ruhai seldom heard Huang Shi praise a person so much, and just now he heard that Jia Huan was doing well. After all, in his heart, Earthly Branches was not a good place.He asked calmly: "You are quite optimistic?"
Huang Shi waved his hand and said: "Don't care what you think, it's early. Besides, if this day comes, you can't stop it."
Lin Ruhai remained silent.
When the two were having tea, they followed Huangshi all the time. At this time, the boy guarding outside knocked on the door and said in a low voice, "Xin'er is coming from the south. A businessman named Duhu seems to have found something in the mouth of the general." land."
