The Forest of Red Mansions
Chapter 54
Stewed elbow with ham, eggplant, duck letter with goose palm, goose breast with rouge, stewed deer tendon in casserole, braised quail in sauce, grilled shark's fin with Hericium erinaceus, pheasant soup... Even if he is an elder brother, he doesn't have such a good portion on weekdays For example, in the end, facing the table full of delicacies, he couldn't eat any of them!
Yinzhen looks like crying, but there is nothing to love.
If I knew it earlier, I wouldn’t be so glass-hearted. At least I can have a "last supper" to enjoy. Anyway, it’s not too late to start losing weight tomorrow, and I’ve been fat for so long.
It's a good thing now, as soon as the old man speaks, others eat him and look at him... It's an unbearable pain in life!
How can you lose weight if you are not full?The old man is so unreasonable!
What's wrong with being fat?Even if he is a fat man, Master Jiu is still the most handsome fat man in the world!
Yinzhen gritted her teeth angrily, her plump, white and tender cheeks bulged into a ball, wishing she could block her nostrils from smelling the fragrance, but his gang of bad brothers were a little bit more There is no brotherhood, one by one deliberately smashed it in front of him and enjoyed it.
Especially the fifth brother, who is a compatriot in his family, commented while eating, saying how delicious this dish is, what it tastes like to eat, how delicious that dish is, and it makes people want to eat it with their tongues. Swallow it... Yinzhen was so angry that she wished she could lift the plate in front of her and slap him in the face.
This must not be my real brother!
If it was his own, then he must have committed a great crime in his previous life!
Lin Daiyu couldn't help lowering her head and chuckling, which made Lin Jinyao's eyelids jump and her heart skip a beat.
"Dai'er...is your aesthetic...abnormal?"
"What did my sister say?" Lin Daiyu said angrily, "I just think Brother Jiu is very interesting, his expression is so rich." It's almost full of drama, and people can't help but want to have fun watching it.
Lin Jinyao instantly felt that she was not well.
Originally, she thought that Brother Jiu would not have to worry about this wolf cub after he became what he is now, but who would have thought... her sister's aesthetics are different from ordinary people!
Sister Lin, whose little heart was greatly frightened, hastily drank a glass of wine to suppress her shock.
So, should she think of a way to beg fourth master to turn that ball into the handsome young man in the past?In that case, maybe the crisis can be resolved?Back then, her younger sister was very indifferent and indifferent to the Pianpian boy version of Brother Nine...
Lin Jinyao no longer cared about talking, and began to seriously consider her own idea. Maybe she should provide some friendly help to help that ball lose weight quickly?
How about getting a Tibetan mastiff to chase him every day and drive him around the palace ten times?
Or tell him to eat carrots every morning, cabbage at noon, and pour cold water at night?
……
There was still heavy snow falling outside, and the ground was already solidly frozen. It was really freezing in the twelfth lunar month of winter.
The banquet started earlier and ended earlier. Taking advantage of the fact that the night was not too deep and the cold was not too severe, everyone rushed to the house, wishing they could go back and get into bed immediately and sleep happily with Mrs. Tang Sleep.
As soon as she returned to her own palace, the imperial concubine hurriedly asked someone to bring up the ginger tea that had been prepared. The mother and son sat opposite each other holding a cup of tea. It was warm and very comfortable.
"I just heard the emperor mention the talent show during the dinner, and I just suddenly thought that my little four should also marry Fujin." The imperial concubine couldn't help sighing softly, with a little melancholy on her face, "Time flies so fast, my palace I still remember that when you were carried to me, you were just such a small person, you were very clingy all day long, but whenever you were awake, you had to be hugged by Ben Gong, and if you didn’t hug you, you would cry endlessly, very coquettish... …Who would have thought that in such a dazzling time, the little thing who is always lying in Ben Gong's arms and acting like a baby has reached the age of marrying a wife."
Fourth Master couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard the words, "Er Niang..."
"Okay, okay, I don't want to say anything, Xiao Si will become uncute when he grows up, what are you doing so serious at such a young age?" The imperial concubine smiled helplessly, and said: "Nian It will be time to pick a wife for you soon, Erniang knows that you have always been a child with ideas, after all, marrying a wife is a major event in your life, what do you think?"
"If there is, talk to Er Niang carefully as soon as possible, so as not to pick an unsatisfactory one for you in time, and it will be too late for you to regret it at that time."
The fourth master smiled slightly when he heard the words, and glanced at the maids and nuns who were serving in front of him.
The imperial concubine understood and sent everyone out immediately.
"What? Do you really have any thoughts in your heart? But whose girl do you like?"
"The eldest girl from Uncle Zhongyi's family is a good one."
"Uncle Zhongyi's family?" The imperial concubine frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then said: "The status is quite appropriate. Uncle Zhongyi is now a scholar of the Wuying Palace and a minister of the official department. He has an extremely important position in the court, and he is still A confidant who is deeply favored by your Empress Ama, a girl from his family would be a good fit for you as a Fujin."
"However..." The imperial concubine swept her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Isn't it because you have taken a fancy to Uncle Zhongyi's status? I remember that when you went to Yangzhou with Prince Yu, the children of the Lin family also followed the court. team went together."
Fourth Master's eyes couldn't help revealing a touch of tenderness, "My son thinks that girl is a good match."
In this regard, women are inherently more sensitive than men, and the imperial concubine immediately understands a little emotion that is not easy to detect.
It's not just the phrase "closing the eyes" that he said lightly, I'm afraid it really fell into his heart.
Thinking of this, the imperial concubine couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart, "Now I'm quietly keeping it in my heart. When I really marry someone back home, I'm still not satisfied that my eyes are full of your daughter-in-law. I'm going to be thrown into the sky by you."
Although this son is not her own, but since he was born, he has been hugged under her lap and raised. After so many years, even if he has a kitten and a dog, he still has feelings, let alone a living child.
To her, Yinzhen is no different from her own, except that she has never been pregnant in October. Her affection for him is no less than that of those mothers for their children. The heart of being a mother is the same .
Now hearing him mention another woman so tenderly, she thinks she understands why the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been so delicate since ancient times. Two women compete for the same man, and they both want to be the most important one in his heart. It would be strange if they could look at each other pleasingly.
Now that this daughter-in-law has not yet married into the family, her heart is starting to turn sour. It is really waiting for her to marry into the family...
The fourth master couldn't help laughing when he heard her sour words, and said softly, "Emiang has worked so hard to raise me for so many years. If I marry a daughter-in-law and forget my mother, that's really a wolf-hearted thing. Ermiang doesn't have to follow Whoever compares with whom, in my heart, my mother is always the most special." Of course, the daughter-in-law is also the most special, one is the mother and the other is the daughter-in-law, there is no conflict or contradiction at all, there is no need to compare.
However, in the ears of the imperial concubine, she became the most special, and no one else could compare with her.
So he felt at ease physically and mentally immediately, and said with a smile: "I thought you were really a lump of ice, who would be able to coax people with sweet words, but it reminded me of you when you were young in order to eat more cakes..."
"Mother!"
Seeing that her son was about to become angry from embarrassment, the imperial concubine couldn't help laughing, "Forget it, I won't talk about it. The mother of yours knows what's on your mind, and the mother will think it over carefully, but if the mother thinks that the girl is not right at that time." ..."
"Emiang will definitely love her."
The imperial concubine raised her brows, "Is she that good?"
"It's not that the son thinks she's just that good, but that the son knows that Er Niang really loves her son and can't bear to let her son down, so if the son likes her, Er Niang will definitely like her too. I will do my best to be a son, and I pity the hearts of parents all over the world." .”
The imperial concubine couldn't help her eyes becoming hot when she heard the words.
Yes, a mother is always unable to hold back her children, but whenever the two compete, the one who compromises is always the mother, because that kind mother's heart is simply too cruel to let the children down and sad.
Endeavor to become a son, pity the parents of the world.
"Forget it, go around and pour me such a big bowl of *soup, just to ask me to say something nice to you, Huang Amador?" With tears in her eyes, the imperial concubine said angrily: "I see, Don't worry, I won't let your wife run away."
The fourth master smiled and said: "Emiang, don't worry, the girl from the Lin family is indeed a good person. Even if you don't believe her, you should still believe in your son's vision, right? In the future, she will be filial to Emiang together with her son."
"Then I will wait for my daughter-in-law to be filial. If she is not filial to me in the future, I will punish her for picking Buddha beans. You must not feel bad."
"If she really dares not to be filial to Emiang, without waiting for her to punish her, my son will punish her to kneel down in the Buddhist hall first."
"In the past, he was taciturn, but today he poured *soup to Bengong as if his mouth had been smeared with honey. It can be seen that you have worked hard for your daughter-in-law. Hurry up and walk around. Bengong won't bother to look at you, you little bastard."
……
On New Year's Eve the next day, the four members of the Lin family originally planned to have a good family reunion dinner, but who would have thought that someone from Jia's mansion would send a letter early in the morning, saying that the old lady dreamed of her daughter waking up crying in the middle of the night, and said that the old lady missed her daughter. The grandson and granddaughter woke up early in the morning without energy, so they asked the son-in-law to take the children to Jia's house for the New Year.
Helpless, Lin Ruhai had no choice but to take the children to Jia's house.
The first house of the Rong Mansion has been divided, and now only the old lady and the second house are left in the mansion, as well as Xichun and Aunt Xue Xue Baochai, mother and daughter, and Jia Baoyu was forced to go to the battlefield. The days are covered by dark clouds, and it is much more desolate and depressing than in the past.
Even the New Year's Eve seemed a bit dull. Although the New Year's Eve dinner was well prepared, there were not many smiles on the faces of the masters, and the old lady and Mrs. Wang were even more sad and haggard. Seeing this situation, the people in the government couldn't help but become a little weird and stiff.
For a while, the atmosphere was inexplicably weird.
"Why are the two younger sisters so thin?" Lin Jinyao looked at Tanchun and Xichun beside her and asked softly.
Tanchun only sighed softly, "We sisters used to be so happy when we got together, but now our eyes are all gone in the blink of an eye, and life is becoming more and more boring. Besides, Baoyu... the old lady and the two My wife is worried and worried every day, the atmosphere in the mansion is really not good."
But Xichun sneered and said, "I should say that all the sisters have left this place. I haven't heard what outsiders say? There is nothing clean in this Jia's mansion except for the two stone lions in front of the gate. The sisters leave sooner rather than later." It couldn't be better, no one's reputation will be dragged down in vain."
"I don't have the good fortune to escape from this filthy place, so I might as well go back and twist my hair and be a sister-in-law. Anyway, I come and go clean."
Lin Daiyu scolded, "What are you talking about when you're celebrating Chinese New Year? You're a little girl, where did you come up with such stupid ideas?"
Lin Jinyao also said: "Fourth younger sister wants to be an aunt, do you really think that the nunnery is clean? Do you remember that smart boy?"
"Of course I remember." Xichun said, "Smart child walks around our house peeing, how can I not remember her."
"The Shuiyue nunnery where she is, on the surface, looks like a place of Buddhism, please come in and give advice, but you don't know that the so-called pure place of Buddhism is just a place to hide dirt and evil people behind the scenes. The Qinlou Chu Pavilion has never been clean either."
The sisters were shocked when they heard the words, "Sister Lin, what you mean is, that place... that place is actually doing that kind of thing?"
Lin Jinyao sneered disdainfully, "The little nuns there are all beautiful and lovely, and they are monks in name, but they are slightly different from ordinary women, so they recruited a lot of people with special hobbies to try it. What a surprise."
"As for the smart girl, she and Qin Zhong still don't know each other well. If Qin Zhong hadn't died early, something might have happened. In the end, Shuiyue Temple is nothing more than a hanging sheep It’s just a filthy place that sells dog meat, what kind of pure Buddhist place, I’m not afraid of the Buddha blaming a lightning strike for killing them.”
"That's why I said that my fourth sister should not be too naive. This world is indeed full of dangers for women, especially young and beautiful girls. I'm afraid you don't know that you are pampered in the boudoir all day long. How many young girls have disappeared without a trace, most of them were abducted or even kidnapped, and they were sold far away. If they were lucky, they might be sold to some remote and impoverished valley to be used as pawns. Daughter-in-law, if you’re unlucky, you’ll end up wandering around in the world to survive or die.”
"If you really leave your house and wander alone without shelter, others will not care whether you are a nun or not, or what you are, as long as you are a beautiful girl."
The faces of several young girls turned pale in an instant.
Lin Jinyao smiled lightly: "Okay, I just want to remind you, what are you afraid of? Girls like us rarely go out on weekdays, and even when we go out, there are always a few girls and women around us. If you die, there will be no danger."
"Fourth sister..." Lin Jinyao couldn't help sighing slightly as she looked at the cold-faced little girl.
Although this girl is the youngest among the sisters, she has always been the most transparent, something that no one else has seen. In fact, she has been like that mirror in her heart for a long time, and she can see it clearly from the sidelines, but This girl is indeed the most indifferent.
Forget it, she's a little girl after all, and it doesn't take much effort to give her a helping hand. Besides, she's happy to do anything that can ruin that alarming plan!
Thinking of this, Lin Jinyao leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words, and then Xichun's eyes suddenly lit up.
"After all, Sister Lin is the smart one, but she really awakened the dreamer with one word."
Seeing this, Tanchun's eyes flashed with thought, and he asked curiously, "What are you whispering about?"
Xichun smiled lightly: "I told you all, so what is it called whispering?"
Tanchun choked and stopped talking.
"Sister Fei'er seems to be participating in this year's draft?" Xue Baochai asked suddenly.
Lin Jinyao nodded with a light smile and remained silent.
Xue Baochai sighed softly, "The sisters have all grown up in a blink of an eye. I didn't expect that sister Fei'er was the first among us sisters to make a big decision for life."
Tanchun was also a little envious, "With Uncle Lin's current status, Sister Lin's future must be very good."
Xichun said lightly: "Sister Lin's appearance can be matched with anyone. Don't worry, Sister Bao. After Baoyu's filial piety, it will be your turn."
Xue Baochai was ashamed and annoyed when he heard the words, but when he thought of Jia Baoyu, his heart was at a loss.
She is one year older than Lin Jinyao. If Jia Baoyu is born three years later, maybe Lin Jinyao will even have a child at that time, and she will become an old girl. If there are any twists and turns in the marriage by then, Then if she wants to marry someone else, it may be too late.
She never forgot that her good aunt and cousin despised her for her low status and poor family, and even the old lady had always looked down on her, and would rather choose that crazy and crazy Shi Xiangyun than choose her.
Three years is really too long for a girl who is in her flowering period. She dare not gamble lightly, and she has never even given a letter of approval. What is she waiting for like this?Is it really worthwhile for her to waste her most beautiful flowering period for a future that is not sure at all?
But if she doesn't marry Jia Baoyu, what choice does she have?
Perhaps based on her appearance, as long as she is willing, there are still many people from lower families who can choose, but she is really unwilling, she is unwilling to live an ordinary life like that.
She, Xue Baochai, is no worse than anyone else, why Jia Yuanchun can be the imperial concubine, and the sisters of the Lin family can participate in the draft to fight for a career in the blue sky, but she can only marry at a low price. When she sees them in the future, she might even kneel down to worship them, no, what's more, she Maybe there is no chance to see them easily again.
A world of difference.
Xue Baochai couldn't help but clenched her chopsticks tightly, her knuckles were slightly bluish.
Lin Jinyao unintentionally glanced at her, chuckled, and ignored her, just picked some food with chopsticks and ate casually.
After only moving two chopsticks, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were inviting Lin Ruhai to drink when they suddenly heard a howl, "My poor Baoyu!"
The father and son were so frightened that they threw away their glasses.
I saw the old lady bursting into tears and crying: "My poor Baoyu has never suffered a little bit of hardship since she was a child, but now she is out in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, but she doesn't know if she has eaten enough or dressed warmly. The reunion of my old lady is really going to break my heart!"
"On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes. A frail scholar like my Baoyu, who is carrying a pen, is not prepared for war. If something happens, what should I do, my old woman? Why not just hang him with a hemp rope!"
Youshi looked embarrassed, forced a smile and comforted him: "Old lady, why do you say these unlucky things during the New Year? As for the official promotion, you just wait to enjoy the blessing."
But the old lady ignored her, and only cried to Lin Ruhai: "Son-in-law, I know that the emperor favors you the most. Go and intercede with the emperor and ask Baoyu to come back! Now that Zheng'er has gone, Jia She's that unfilial son again." If you don't recognize me as an old lady, I will only have Baoyu left, if anything happens to him, it will really kill me!"
"Son-in-law, I beg you, my wife." As he spoke, he tremblingly stood up and tried to kneel down, "I kneel down for you, go and beg for Baoyu, I will kowtow to you..."
The crowd was shocked.
Lin Jinyao hurriedly rushed up and grabbed the old lady's arm to prevent her from kneeling down. She suppressed her anger and said, "What is the old lady doing? You are an elder, so you have no reason to kneel down for the younger generation, right? Tell my father to shorten his life?"
Seeing this situation, Lin Ruhai was also relieved, and said with an angry face: "Old lady, I can understand that you are worried about Baoyu, but asking Baoyu to go to the battlefield is because the Holy Majesty valued him and the Rongfu. , we must not allow Rongfu to decline from now on, I only hope that Baoyu can inherit the style of his grandfather and reproduce the glory of Rongfu."
"Your Majesty is also painstaking, old lady, you should be grateful, how can you do this... If you are really worried about Baoyu, and you are afraid that something will happen to him, why don't you go and ask the concubine Xiande, I am just a courtier, how can I be right The Holy Majesty's order to dictate? You don't have to kneel and kowtow to me, and I can't do anything if you force me to death."
I have to say that the old lady's trick is really disgusting enough. Even someone like Lin Ruhai who thinks he is fairly broad-minded can't help being so angry that one Buddha went out of his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, so the tone of his speech could not help but be slightly stiff.
When the old lady heard that he gritted his teeth and refused to help, her complexion changed immediately, she pushed Lin Jinyao away who was supporting her, pointed at Lin Ruhai's nose and scolded: "I thought you were a good person, but you were a good person back then. I betrothed my daughter to you, but who would have thought that you are such a black-hearted and rotten thing!"
"Don't pretend that I don't know why Baoyu was suddenly forced to be sent to the battlefield by the emperor? Someone must have deliberately instigated it! That unfilial son Jia She doesn't have such a big face to speak in front of the emperor. Who else but you? He refused to agree to pass on the title to Baoyu, but he agreed immediately after you came, and even made such a request, you must be playing tricks behind his back to give him a trick!"
"In order to retaliate against the second wife, you deliberately spoke ill of Baoyu in front of the emperor, which made the emperor hate Baoyu, wishing he could get rid of him and hurry up! Poor my Baoyu is just a child, Lin Ruhai, what a dark heart you are That's why I hurt him like this! Back then I was really blind to betroth my daughter to you, but now you hurt her nephew like this, you are not afraid that my poor daughter will have no peace under the nine springs, and in the middle of the night Climb up and settle accounts with you!"
Hearing what she said about Jia Min, Lin Ruhai and the third sibling of the Lin family trembled with anger.
"Lin Ruhai, let me tell you, you'd better go to the palace immediately and ask the emperor to release Baoyu, otherwise I will hang myself in front of your house on the first day of the new year! And your two daughters, I want to tell you Everyone, your two daughters have been living in our Jia family for three years and have already had a physical relationship with my Baoyu, I want to see how they will be selected! How will they marry!"
"You have harmed my Baoyu so badly, and your family will not be able to live in peace! Baoyu is my lifeline, if you dare to touch him, I will make trouble for your family if you die. , I will also drag you as a backing!"
Lin Ruhai was so angry that her face turned pale, Lin Jinyao just wanted to go forward and strangle this old bastard to death, while Lin Daiyu and Lin Jinjun looked at the old lady in disbelief, and they dared not take the old lady with a kind face and kind eyes in the past. Connect with this hideous old lady now.
Could it be that the love at the beginning was all fake?Otherwise, why can they threaten them without hesitation?Or, is Jia Baoyu really that important, so important that she can give up everyone for him?
Tanchun, Xichun, and Xue Baochai also couldn't believe it, and at the same time, they couldn't help feeling a bit chilly in their hearts.
On the other hand, Mrs. Wang smiled faintly, the creases that quickly climbed up on her face could kill mosquitoes, "Brother-in-law, you should agree to the old lady, it's just a matter of little effort, why are you so stubborn? I heard that , now the emperor favors you the most, as long as you intercede, you will say that the old lady at home misses her grandson and is dying of illness, and she hopes to see her grandson for the last time, I believe the emperor will be merciful."
But Lin Jinyao sneered and said: "Old lady, and second wife, you don't have to force my father anymore, this is absolutely impossible, so many Eight Banners children have been sent to the battlefield by the emperor, and there are many ministers and even He is the son of the royal family, some people still have the surname Aixinjueluo, is Jia Baoyu more precious than others?"
"If Jia Baoyu is really recruited back today, what should the other Eight Banners children do? At that time, everyone will go to the emperor and cry, hoping to get their children back. Should the emperor agree or disagree? The emperor pushed it to that point, my father is the number one sinner, our Lin family can't bear the emperor's anger."
"It's up to you, whether you want to go outside to ruin our sister's reputation, or the old lady really wants to hang herself in front of my house with a hemp rope, please do whatever you want, compared to offending the emperor and being punished by the emperor. Well, what's the point of being poked at the spine and scolded a few times? After all, my father was bitten to death and refused to let go to help because it was for the sake of the emperor. Maybe the emperor will remember this kindness and treat our family a little bit more lenient."
When the old lady and Mrs. Wang heard the words, their faces turned black and then blue, and they looked at Lin Jinyao as if they wished they could swallow her alive.
"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth! If you are so mean, you are not afraid that you will not be able to marry in the future!"
Lin Ruhai said angrily: "I don't need the second wife to worry about whether my daughter is married or not. You should worry more about your son. The old lady also said that swords have no eyes on the battlefield. I think you should go to Bodhisattva." Go forward and kneel and pray devoutly, hoping that the Bodhisattva will be merciful enough to call your precious son back with all his beard and tail!"
Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw a little servant rushing in in a panic, "It's bad, it's bad, Second Master Bao was captured by the North Koreans!"
"what!"
The old lady was startled and hurriedly asked.
But it is said that Jia Baoyu has been pampered and pampered by the whole family since he was born, and he has been pampered since childhood. He is really more pampered than a girl's family. In the past, his father taught him a lesson, and his old mother and old lady always protected him.
This time he was forced to enter the army. Just walking to the front line was enough for him to suffer a lot. He ate hard dry food and drank cold river water with a strange smell. There were many blood blisters on his feet, which made him feel so painful that he wanted to roll all over the floor.
All kinds of things made him feel miserable, and he wanted to give up his burden several times, but the rules in the army have always been strict, who is used to him?As long as he plays tricks on his temper, someone will whip him immediately.
Helpless, Jia Baoyu had no choice but to go in with a stomach full of grievances and step on the blood bubbles on his feet. When he finally reached the front line, he basically died half of his life. However, at this time, he no longer had the care of his grandmother and mother No more, no more soft words from the beautiful girl, only the military doctor poured him a bowl of medicine at will and stopped talking to him.
When the war broke out and the two armies were fighting, Jia Baoyu was also driven to the battlefield. As the lowest soldier, he was always at the front to charge in the battle, similar to the Death Squad.
But Jia Baoyu has never seen such a tragic situation with blood flowing all over the ground, let alone killing the enemy, the first time he saw someone die in front of his eyes, Jia Baoyu screamed in fright and passed out, with his body The bottom was soaked, and the smell of urine wafted far away.
However, the amazing thing is that he was lying on the battlefield like that, and he was not hacked a few times, or even trampled to death, as if he just slept on the bed, and it was like this every time!
Once, twice, three times... Jia Baoyu couldn't stand the cruel war anymore, and he was even more afraid that he would have half of his head chopped off one day, so he thought of running away.
The first time he escaped, he was caught and beaten with a military stick until he vomited blood.
The second time he escaped, he was arrested and returned, and then he was beaten severely. If the Nan'an County King hadn't interceded for him, Prince Yu and Eldest Brother would have liked to have killed him as a warning to others.
After fleeing for the third time, he was finally never caught again, but happened to be caught by the enemy army who came to spy on the military situation.
Originally, those sticks saw him dressed as a small soldier, and didn't take him seriously, they just planned to kill him casually. In a hurry, Jia Baoyu reported himself, saying that he was the second master of Rongguo Mansion, that he The elder sister is the imperial concubine.
When the sticks heard this, their status was quite high, and the younger brother of the imperial concubine should be of some use.
So I took him back, and planned to use him to threaten the Qing army, tell the Qing army to stop the war, and send a princess to make peace with North Korea, and also send a lot of rare treasures... In short, all kinds of rude demands a lot.
Prince Yu and Yinyi were very happy when they heard these words. What kind of bird is Jia Baoyu? He just told Bangzi that if he wants to kill him, he will follow them. A report was made in the capital.
On the contrary, the King of Nan'an County, because of his close personal relationship with Jia's family, really didn't want to watch Jia Baoyu die, so he persuaded Prince Yu and Yinyi, hoping that they could think of a way to rescue Jia Baoyu, but that Jia Baoyu is nothing in the eyes of Prince Yu and Yinxie, how could they be willing to delay major events for such a dispensable little person?
The power in the hands of the king of Piannan'an County is not as good as that of Prince Yu and Yinxuan, and he can't be the master, and the persuasion fails, so he has to rush to send the news back to the capital, hoping that the emperor can save Jia Baoyu for the sake of Duke Rong. By the way, he also passed the news to the Rong Mansion, thinking that it would be good if the old lady and Mrs. Wang could enter the palace and ask the empress to intercede.
As soon as the old lady and Mrs. Wang heard such a terrible news like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, they couldn't catch their breath immediately, and they fainted as soon as they rolled their eyes. He took a carriage and headed for the palace.
But the palace is where they can enter if they want. Even if they want to visit the concubine, there are days and regulations. Usually, if you want to enter the palace, you have to hand over the sign first. Whether the imperial concubine who is in charge of the harem can agree, only if she agrees, she can enter, and if she refuses, she cannot enter.
So the old lady and Mrs. Wang waited at the gate of the palace all night, and they still couldn't enter the palace the next morning. They were already dizzy, dizzy and runny nose from the cold, and their faces flushed strangely. His sanity was also a little unclear, and he was already dizzy from the fever.
Seeing this situation, the servants didn't dare to delay, so they had to send the two of them home in a hurry, and called the doctor to have a look.
As for the news that it was sent to the palace, Kangxi already knew about it last night. After all, it was sent urgently from the front line eight hundred miles away, and no one dared to delay it.
But who would have thought that after reading the letter, Kangxi was so angry that he lifted the table and yelled and cursed in the imperial study for half an hour.
It's not about scolding the North Korean stick, but the king of Nan'an County.
Which onion is this Jia Baoyu?It is absurd to spend [-] miles to rush for him!
Immediately, Lord Kangxi silently made another note to Nan'an County King in his heart. As for whether to save Jia Baoyu?Haha, so a fool deserves to ask him to exchange a daughter and a large sum of rare treasures?What's more, not only did that idiot have never made any contribution to the Qing Dynasty, he dared to be a deserter!
Grandpa Kangxi sneered, burned the letter directly and ignored it, even after Jia Yuanchun heard the news and came to intercede, he was also dismissed by him. Out of anger, Grandpa Kangxi, who was in an extremely bad mood, directly sent Jia Yuanchun He was relegated to be a nobleman and deprived of his title, so he became a nobleman.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, this title is really ironic.
Everyone thought that Jia Baoyu was in danger, and that the old lady and Mrs. Wang almost went blind from crying, crying day after day in the mansion, wishing that Rong Mansion would be flooded, and the entire mansion would be covered by dark clouds.
But who would have thought that Jia Baoyu would also come back when the army returned triumphantly soon, all beard and tail unscathed!
It is said that Jia Baoyu used his beauty to conquer the Korean princess.
It is said that when the North Korean princess saw Jia Baoyu that day, she was astonished as a heavenly being, and she insisted on crying that she would not marry him. It happened that North Korea was being defeated by the Qing Dynasty. In order to ease the relationship and also to show weakness and beg for mercy, King Li Xuan decided to make peace with Daqing, not that Daqing would marry a princess to North Korea, but let the North Korean princess marry to Daqing.
As for the choice of a family member, it is naturally Jia Baoyu.
Who told the princess of North Korea to love him deeply, crying and clamoring that he should not marry? Li Wei is just such a daughter, and this daughter's personality is...he really has no other choice, but if there is a way, he can't look down on Jia Baoyu, the marriage is only useful if the daughter is sent to the palace, but it's a pity...
This adventure of Jia Baoyu is simply jaw-dropping and amazing. Most of the people in the Qing Dynasty know that there is a miraculous young man named Jia Baoyu in the Rong Mansion. The beauty is heavenly, fragrant and magnificent... He used his beauty as a weapon to make the North Korean princess bow down under his trousers, which is simply the highest state of defeating others without fighting!
Some people even ridiculed that if there is a war in the future, if Jia Baoyu is sent directly to the front line, maybe he can use his beauty to directly fascinate the enemy to death.
……
Rao Sister Lin, who thought she was well-informed and used to all kinds of anecdotes, couldn't help being shocked by Jia Baoyu for a long time, and she was a little dazed.
On the day when the army entered the capital, almost all the people in the capital were dispatched. Everyone wanted to see what kind of fairy Jia Baoyu, who conquered the enemy princess with her beauty, was like a fairy.
The three brothers and sisters of the Lin family also picked a restaurant early and reserved a private room, and the three brothers and sisters went out early in the morning. They were not curious about Jia Baoyu, but about the Princess Bangzi, and what she looked like. How ugly it is to be so obsessed with Jia Baoyu.
The chariot that the princess of North Korea was riding on was covered with white tulle, which looked elegant and beautiful from a distance. She was probably curious about what the capital city looked like, so the princess put the tulle on both sides.
Yinzhen looks like crying, but there is nothing to love.
If I knew it earlier, I wouldn’t be so glass-hearted. At least I can have a "last supper" to enjoy. Anyway, it’s not too late to start losing weight tomorrow, and I’ve been fat for so long.
It's a good thing now, as soon as the old man speaks, others eat him and look at him... It's an unbearable pain in life!
How can you lose weight if you are not full?The old man is so unreasonable!
What's wrong with being fat?Even if he is a fat man, Master Jiu is still the most handsome fat man in the world!
Yinzhen gritted her teeth angrily, her plump, white and tender cheeks bulged into a ball, wishing she could block her nostrils from smelling the fragrance, but his gang of bad brothers were a little bit more There is no brotherhood, one by one deliberately smashed it in front of him and enjoyed it.
Especially the fifth brother, who is a compatriot in his family, commented while eating, saying how delicious this dish is, what it tastes like to eat, how delicious that dish is, and it makes people want to eat it with their tongues. Swallow it... Yinzhen was so angry that she wished she could lift the plate in front of her and slap him in the face.
This must not be my real brother!
If it was his own, then he must have committed a great crime in his previous life!
Lin Daiyu couldn't help lowering her head and chuckling, which made Lin Jinyao's eyelids jump and her heart skip a beat.
"Dai'er...is your aesthetic...abnormal?"
"What did my sister say?" Lin Daiyu said angrily, "I just think Brother Jiu is very interesting, his expression is so rich." It's almost full of drama, and people can't help but want to have fun watching it.
Lin Jinyao instantly felt that she was not well.
Originally, she thought that Brother Jiu would not have to worry about this wolf cub after he became what he is now, but who would have thought... her sister's aesthetics are different from ordinary people!
Sister Lin, whose little heart was greatly frightened, hastily drank a glass of wine to suppress her shock.
So, should she think of a way to beg fourth master to turn that ball into the handsome young man in the past?In that case, maybe the crisis can be resolved?Back then, her younger sister was very indifferent and indifferent to the Pianpian boy version of Brother Nine...
Lin Jinyao no longer cared about talking, and began to seriously consider her own idea. Maybe she should provide some friendly help to help that ball lose weight quickly?
How about getting a Tibetan mastiff to chase him every day and drive him around the palace ten times?
Or tell him to eat carrots every morning, cabbage at noon, and pour cold water at night?
……
There was still heavy snow falling outside, and the ground was already solidly frozen. It was really freezing in the twelfth lunar month of winter.
The banquet started earlier and ended earlier. Taking advantage of the fact that the night was not too deep and the cold was not too severe, everyone rushed to the house, wishing they could go back and get into bed immediately and sleep happily with Mrs. Tang Sleep.
As soon as she returned to her own palace, the imperial concubine hurriedly asked someone to bring up the ginger tea that had been prepared. The mother and son sat opposite each other holding a cup of tea. It was warm and very comfortable.
"I just heard the emperor mention the talent show during the dinner, and I just suddenly thought that my little four should also marry Fujin." The imperial concubine couldn't help sighing softly, with a little melancholy on her face, "Time flies so fast, my palace I still remember that when you were carried to me, you were just such a small person, you were very clingy all day long, but whenever you were awake, you had to be hugged by Ben Gong, and if you didn’t hug you, you would cry endlessly, very coquettish... …Who would have thought that in such a dazzling time, the little thing who is always lying in Ben Gong's arms and acting like a baby has reached the age of marrying a wife."
Fourth Master couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard the words, "Er Niang..."
"Okay, okay, I don't want to say anything, Xiao Si will become uncute when he grows up, what are you doing so serious at such a young age?" The imperial concubine smiled helplessly, and said: "Nian It will be time to pick a wife for you soon, Erniang knows that you have always been a child with ideas, after all, marrying a wife is a major event in your life, what do you think?"
"If there is, talk to Er Niang carefully as soon as possible, so as not to pick an unsatisfactory one for you in time, and it will be too late for you to regret it at that time."
The fourth master smiled slightly when he heard the words, and glanced at the maids and nuns who were serving in front of him.
The imperial concubine understood and sent everyone out immediately.
"What? Do you really have any thoughts in your heart? But whose girl do you like?"
"The eldest girl from Uncle Zhongyi's family is a good one."
"Uncle Zhongyi's family?" The imperial concubine frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then said: "The status is quite appropriate. Uncle Zhongyi is now a scholar of the Wuying Palace and a minister of the official department. He has an extremely important position in the court, and he is still A confidant who is deeply favored by your Empress Ama, a girl from his family would be a good fit for you as a Fujin."
"However..." The imperial concubine swept her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Isn't it because you have taken a fancy to Uncle Zhongyi's status? I remember that when you went to Yangzhou with Prince Yu, the children of the Lin family also followed the court. team went together."
Fourth Master's eyes couldn't help revealing a touch of tenderness, "My son thinks that girl is a good match."
In this regard, women are inherently more sensitive than men, and the imperial concubine immediately understands a little emotion that is not easy to detect.
It's not just the phrase "closing the eyes" that he said lightly, I'm afraid it really fell into his heart.
Thinking of this, the imperial concubine couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart, "Now I'm quietly keeping it in my heart. When I really marry someone back home, I'm still not satisfied that my eyes are full of your daughter-in-law. I'm going to be thrown into the sky by you."
Although this son is not her own, but since he was born, he has been hugged under her lap and raised. After so many years, even if he has a kitten and a dog, he still has feelings, let alone a living child.
To her, Yinzhen is no different from her own, except that she has never been pregnant in October. Her affection for him is no less than that of those mothers for their children. The heart of being a mother is the same .
Now hearing him mention another woman so tenderly, she thinks she understands why the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been so delicate since ancient times. Two women compete for the same man, and they both want to be the most important one in his heart. It would be strange if they could look at each other pleasingly.
Now that this daughter-in-law has not yet married into the family, her heart is starting to turn sour. It is really waiting for her to marry into the family...
The fourth master couldn't help laughing when he heard her sour words, and said softly, "Emiang has worked so hard to raise me for so many years. If I marry a daughter-in-law and forget my mother, that's really a wolf-hearted thing. Ermiang doesn't have to follow Whoever compares with whom, in my heart, my mother is always the most special." Of course, the daughter-in-law is also the most special, one is the mother and the other is the daughter-in-law, there is no conflict or contradiction at all, there is no need to compare.
However, in the ears of the imperial concubine, she became the most special, and no one else could compare with her.
So he felt at ease physically and mentally immediately, and said with a smile: "I thought you were really a lump of ice, who would be able to coax people with sweet words, but it reminded me of you when you were young in order to eat more cakes..."
"Mother!"
Seeing that her son was about to become angry from embarrassment, the imperial concubine couldn't help laughing, "Forget it, I won't talk about it. The mother of yours knows what's on your mind, and the mother will think it over carefully, but if the mother thinks that the girl is not right at that time." ..."
"Emiang will definitely love her."
The imperial concubine raised her brows, "Is she that good?"
"It's not that the son thinks she's just that good, but that the son knows that Er Niang really loves her son and can't bear to let her son down, so if the son likes her, Er Niang will definitely like her too. I will do my best to be a son, and I pity the hearts of parents all over the world." .”
The imperial concubine couldn't help her eyes becoming hot when she heard the words.
Yes, a mother is always unable to hold back her children, but whenever the two compete, the one who compromises is always the mother, because that kind mother's heart is simply too cruel to let the children down and sad.
Endeavor to become a son, pity the parents of the world.
"Forget it, go around and pour me such a big bowl of *soup, just to ask me to say something nice to you, Huang Amador?" With tears in her eyes, the imperial concubine said angrily: "I see, Don't worry, I won't let your wife run away."
The fourth master smiled and said: "Emiang, don't worry, the girl from the Lin family is indeed a good person. Even if you don't believe her, you should still believe in your son's vision, right? In the future, she will be filial to Emiang together with her son."
"Then I will wait for my daughter-in-law to be filial. If she is not filial to me in the future, I will punish her for picking Buddha beans. You must not feel bad."
"If she really dares not to be filial to Emiang, without waiting for her to punish her, my son will punish her to kneel down in the Buddhist hall first."
"In the past, he was taciturn, but today he poured *soup to Bengong as if his mouth had been smeared with honey. It can be seen that you have worked hard for your daughter-in-law. Hurry up and walk around. Bengong won't bother to look at you, you little bastard."
……
On New Year's Eve the next day, the four members of the Lin family originally planned to have a good family reunion dinner, but who would have thought that someone from Jia's mansion would send a letter early in the morning, saying that the old lady dreamed of her daughter waking up crying in the middle of the night, and said that the old lady missed her daughter. The grandson and granddaughter woke up early in the morning without energy, so they asked the son-in-law to take the children to Jia's house for the New Year.
Helpless, Lin Ruhai had no choice but to take the children to Jia's house.
The first house of the Rong Mansion has been divided, and now only the old lady and the second house are left in the mansion, as well as Xichun and Aunt Xue Xue Baochai, mother and daughter, and Jia Baoyu was forced to go to the battlefield. The days are covered by dark clouds, and it is much more desolate and depressing than in the past.
Even the New Year's Eve seemed a bit dull. Although the New Year's Eve dinner was well prepared, there were not many smiles on the faces of the masters, and the old lady and Mrs. Wang were even more sad and haggard. Seeing this situation, the people in the government couldn't help but become a little weird and stiff.
For a while, the atmosphere was inexplicably weird.
"Why are the two younger sisters so thin?" Lin Jinyao looked at Tanchun and Xichun beside her and asked softly.
Tanchun only sighed softly, "We sisters used to be so happy when we got together, but now our eyes are all gone in the blink of an eye, and life is becoming more and more boring. Besides, Baoyu... the old lady and the two My wife is worried and worried every day, the atmosphere in the mansion is really not good."
But Xichun sneered and said, "I should say that all the sisters have left this place. I haven't heard what outsiders say? There is nothing clean in this Jia's mansion except for the two stone lions in front of the gate. The sisters leave sooner rather than later." It couldn't be better, no one's reputation will be dragged down in vain."
"I don't have the good fortune to escape from this filthy place, so I might as well go back and twist my hair and be a sister-in-law. Anyway, I come and go clean."
Lin Daiyu scolded, "What are you talking about when you're celebrating Chinese New Year? You're a little girl, where did you come up with such stupid ideas?"
Lin Jinyao also said: "Fourth younger sister wants to be an aunt, do you really think that the nunnery is clean? Do you remember that smart boy?"
"Of course I remember." Xichun said, "Smart child walks around our house peeing, how can I not remember her."
"The Shuiyue nunnery where she is, on the surface, looks like a place of Buddhism, please come in and give advice, but you don't know that the so-called pure place of Buddhism is just a place to hide dirt and evil people behind the scenes. The Qinlou Chu Pavilion has never been clean either."
The sisters were shocked when they heard the words, "Sister Lin, what you mean is, that place... that place is actually doing that kind of thing?"
Lin Jinyao sneered disdainfully, "The little nuns there are all beautiful and lovely, and they are monks in name, but they are slightly different from ordinary women, so they recruited a lot of people with special hobbies to try it. What a surprise."
"As for the smart girl, she and Qin Zhong still don't know each other well. If Qin Zhong hadn't died early, something might have happened. In the end, Shuiyue Temple is nothing more than a hanging sheep It’s just a filthy place that sells dog meat, what kind of pure Buddhist place, I’m not afraid of the Buddha blaming a lightning strike for killing them.”
"That's why I said that my fourth sister should not be too naive. This world is indeed full of dangers for women, especially young and beautiful girls. I'm afraid you don't know that you are pampered in the boudoir all day long. How many young girls have disappeared without a trace, most of them were abducted or even kidnapped, and they were sold far away. If they were lucky, they might be sold to some remote and impoverished valley to be used as pawns. Daughter-in-law, if you’re unlucky, you’ll end up wandering around in the world to survive or die.”
"If you really leave your house and wander alone without shelter, others will not care whether you are a nun or not, or what you are, as long as you are a beautiful girl."
The faces of several young girls turned pale in an instant.
Lin Jinyao smiled lightly: "Okay, I just want to remind you, what are you afraid of? Girls like us rarely go out on weekdays, and even when we go out, there are always a few girls and women around us. If you die, there will be no danger."
"Fourth sister..." Lin Jinyao couldn't help sighing slightly as she looked at the cold-faced little girl.
Although this girl is the youngest among the sisters, she has always been the most transparent, something that no one else has seen. In fact, she has been like that mirror in her heart for a long time, and she can see it clearly from the sidelines, but This girl is indeed the most indifferent.
Forget it, she's a little girl after all, and it doesn't take much effort to give her a helping hand. Besides, she's happy to do anything that can ruin that alarming plan!
Thinking of this, Lin Jinyao leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words, and then Xichun's eyes suddenly lit up.
"After all, Sister Lin is the smart one, but she really awakened the dreamer with one word."
Seeing this, Tanchun's eyes flashed with thought, and he asked curiously, "What are you whispering about?"
Xichun smiled lightly: "I told you all, so what is it called whispering?"
Tanchun choked and stopped talking.
"Sister Fei'er seems to be participating in this year's draft?" Xue Baochai asked suddenly.
Lin Jinyao nodded with a light smile and remained silent.
Xue Baochai sighed softly, "The sisters have all grown up in a blink of an eye. I didn't expect that sister Fei'er was the first among us sisters to make a big decision for life."
Tanchun was also a little envious, "With Uncle Lin's current status, Sister Lin's future must be very good."
Xichun said lightly: "Sister Lin's appearance can be matched with anyone. Don't worry, Sister Bao. After Baoyu's filial piety, it will be your turn."
Xue Baochai was ashamed and annoyed when he heard the words, but when he thought of Jia Baoyu, his heart was at a loss.
She is one year older than Lin Jinyao. If Jia Baoyu is born three years later, maybe Lin Jinyao will even have a child at that time, and she will become an old girl. If there are any twists and turns in the marriage by then, Then if she wants to marry someone else, it may be too late.
She never forgot that her good aunt and cousin despised her for her low status and poor family, and even the old lady had always looked down on her, and would rather choose that crazy and crazy Shi Xiangyun than choose her.
Three years is really too long for a girl who is in her flowering period. She dare not gamble lightly, and she has never even given a letter of approval. What is she waiting for like this?Is it really worthwhile for her to waste her most beautiful flowering period for a future that is not sure at all?
But if she doesn't marry Jia Baoyu, what choice does she have?
Perhaps based on her appearance, as long as she is willing, there are still many people from lower families who can choose, but she is really unwilling, she is unwilling to live an ordinary life like that.
She, Xue Baochai, is no worse than anyone else, why Jia Yuanchun can be the imperial concubine, and the sisters of the Lin family can participate in the draft to fight for a career in the blue sky, but she can only marry at a low price. When she sees them in the future, she might even kneel down to worship them, no, what's more, she Maybe there is no chance to see them easily again.
A world of difference.
Xue Baochai couldn't help but clenched her chopsticks tightly, her knuckles were slightly bluish.
Lin Jinyao unintentionally glanced at her, chuckled, and ignored her, just picked some food with chopsticks and ate casually.
After only moving two chopsticks, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were inviting Lin Ruhai to drink when they suddenly heard a howl, "My poor Baoyu!"
The father and son were so frightened that they threw away their glasses.
I saw the old lady bursting into tears and crying: "My poor Baoyu has never suffered a little bit of hardship since she was a child, but now she is out in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, but she doesn't know if she has eaten enough or dressed warmly. The reunion of my old lady is really going to break my heart!"
"On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes. A frail scholar like my Baoyu, who is carrying a pen, is not prepared for war. If something happens, what should I do, my old woman? Why not just hang him with a hemp rope!"
Youshi looked embarrassed, forced a smile and comforted him: "Old lady, why do you say these unlucky things during the New Year? As for the official promotion, you just wait to enjoy the blessing."
But the old lady ignored her, and only cried to Lin Ruhai: "Son-in-law, I know that the emperor favors you the most. Go and intercede with the emperor and ask Baoyu to come back! Now that Zheng'er has gone, Jia She's that unfilial son again." If you don't recognize me as an old lady, I will only have Baoyu left, if anything happens to him, it will really kill me!"
"Son-in-law, I beg you, my wife." As he spoke, he tremblingly stood up and tried to kneel down, "I kneel down for you, go and beg for Baoyu, I will kowtow to you..."
The crowd was shocked.
Lin Jinyao hurriedly rushed up and grabbed the old lady's arm to prevent her from kneeling down. She suppressed her anger and said, "What is the old lady doing? You are an elder, so you have no reason to kneel down for the younger generation, right? Tell my father to shorten his life?"
Seeing this situation, Lin Ruhai was also relieved, and said with an angry face: "Old lady, I can understand that you are worried about Baoyu, but asking Baoyu to go to the battlefield is because the Holy Majesty valued him and the Rongfu. , we must not allow Rongfu to decline from now on, I only hope that Baoyu can inherit the style of his grandfather and reproduce the glory of Rongfu."
"Your Majesty is also painstaking, old lady, you should be grateful, how can you do this... If you are really worried about Baoyu, and you are afraid that something will happen to him, why don't you go and ask the concubine Xiande, I am just a courtier, how can I be right The Holy Majesty's order to dictate? You don't have to kneel and kowtow to me, and I can't do anything if you force me to death."
I have to say that the old lady's trick is really disgusting enough. Even someone like Lin Ruhai who thinks he is fairly broad-minded can't help being so angry that one Buddha went out of his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, so the tone of his speech could not help but be slightly stiff.
When the old lady heard that he gritted his teeth and refused to help, her complexion changed immediately, she pushed Lin Jinyao away who was supporting her, pointed at Lin Ruhai's nose and scolded: "I thought you were a good person, but you were a good person back then. I betrothed my daughter to you, but who would have thought that you are such a black-hearted and rotten thing!"
"Don't pretend that I don't know why Baoyu was suddenly forced to be sent to the battlefield by the emperor? Someone must have deliberately instigated it! That unfilial son Jia She doesn't have such a big face to speak in front of the emperor. Who else but you? He refused to agree to pass on the title to Baoyu, but he agreed immediately after you came, and even made such a request, you must be playing tricks behind his back to give him a trick!"
"In order to retaliate against the second wife, you deliberately spoke ill of Baoyu in front of the emperor, which made the emperor hate Baoyu, wishing he could get rid of him and hurry up! Poor my Baoyu is just a child, Lin Ruhai, what a dark heart you are That's why I hurt him like this! Back then I was really blind to betroth my daughter to you, but now you hurt her nephew like this, you are not afraid that my poor daughter will have no peace under the nine springs, and in the middle of the night Climb up and settle accounts with you!"
Hearing what she said about Jia Min, Lin Ruhai and the third sibling of the Lin family trembled with anger.
"Lin Ruhai, let me tell you, you'd better go to the palace immediately and ask the emperor to release Baoyu, otherwise I will hang myself in front of your house on the first day of the new year! And your two daughters, I want to tell you Everyone, your two daughters have been living in our Jia family for three years and have already had a physical relationship with my Baoyu, I want to see how they will be selected! How will they marry!"
"You have harmed my Baoyu so badly, and your family will not be able to live in peace! Baoyu is my lifeline, if you dare to touch him, I will make trouble for your family if you die. , I will also drag you as a backing!"
Lin Ruhai was so angry that her face turned pale, Lin Jinyao just wanted to go forward and strangle this old bastard to death, while Lin Daiyu and Lin Jinjun looked at the old lady in disbelief, and they dared not take the old lady with a kind face and kind eyes in the past. Connect with this hideous old lady now.
Could it be that the love at the beginning was all fake?Otherwise, why can they threaten them without hesitation?Or, is Jia Baoyu really that important, so important that she can give up everyone for him?
Tanchun, Xichun, and Xue Baochai also couldn't believe it, and at the same time, they couldn't help feeling a bit chilly in their hearts.
On the other hand, Mrs. Wang smiled faintly, the creases that quickly climbed up on her face could kill mosquitoes, "Brother-in-law, you should agree to the old lady, it's just a matter of little effort, why are you so stubborn? I heard that , now the emperor favors you the most, as long as you intercede, you will say that the old lady at home misses her grandson and is dying of illness, and she hopes to see her grandson for the last time, I believe the emperor will be merciful."
But Lin Jinyao sneered and said: "Old lady, and second wife, you don't have to force my father anymore, this is absolutely impossible, so many Eight Banners children have been sent to the battlefield by the emperor, and there are many ministers and even He is the son of the royal family, some people still have the surname Aixinjueluo, is Jia Baoyu more precious than others?"
"If Jia Baoyu is really recruited back today, what should the other Eight Banners children do? At that time, everyone will go to the emperor and cry, hoping to get their children back. Should the emperor agree or disagree? The emperor pushed it to that point, my father is the number one sinner, our Lin family can't bear the emperor's anger."
"It's up to you, whether you want to go outside to ruin our sister's reputation, or the old lady really wants to hang herself in front of my house with a hemp rope, please do whatever you want, compared to offending the emperor and being punished by the emperor. Well, what's the point of being poked at the spine and scolded a few times? After all, my father was bitten to death and refused to let go to help because it was for the sake of the emperor. Maybe the emperor will remember this kindness and treat our family a little bit more lenient."
When the old lady and Mrs. Wang heard the words, their faces turned black and then blue, and they looked at Lin Jinyao as if they wished they could swallow her alive.
"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth! If you are so mean, you are not afraid that you will not be able to marry in the future!"
Lin Ruhai said angrily: "I don't need the second wife to worry about whether my daughter is married or not. You should worry more about your son. The old lady also said that swords have no eyes on the battlefield. I think you should go to Bodhisattva." Go forward and kneel and pray devoutly, hoping that the Bodhisattva will be merciful enough to call your precious son back with all his beard and tail!"
Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw a little servant rushing in in a panic, "It's bad, it's bad, Second Master Bao was captured by the North Koreans!"
"what!"
The old lady was startled and hurriedly asked.
But it is said that Jia Baoyu has been pampered and pampered by the whole family since he was born, and he has been pampered since childhood. He is really more pampered than a girl's family. In the past, his father taught him a lesson, and his old mother and old lady always protected him.
This time he was forced to enter the army. Just walking to the front line was enough for him to suffer a lot. He ate hard dry food and drank cold river water with a strange smell. There were many blood blisters on his feet, which made him feel so painful that he wanted to roll all over the floor.
All kinds of things made him feel miserable, and he wanted to give up his burden several times, but the rules in the army have always been strict, who is used to him?As long as he plays tricks on his temper, someone will whip him immediately.
Helpless, Jia Baoyu had no choice but to go in with a stomach full of grievances and step on the blood bubbles on his feet. When he finally reached the front line, he basically died half of his life. However, at this time, he no longer had the care of his grandmother and mother No more, no more soft words from the beautiful girl, only the military doctor poured him a bowl of medicine at will and stopped talking to him.
When the war broke out and the two armies were fighting, Jia Baoyu was also driven to the battlefield. As the lowest soldier, he was always at the front to charge in the battle, similar to the Death Squad.
But Jia Baoyu has never seen such a tragic situation with blood flowing all over the ground, let alone killing the enemy, the first time he saw someone die in front of his eyes, Jia Baoyu screamed in fright and passed out, with his body The bottom was soaked, and the smell of urine wafted far away.
However, the amazing thing is that he was lying on the battlefield like that, and he was not hacked a few times, or even trampled to death, as if he just slept on the bed, and it was like this every time!
Once, twice, three times... Jia Baoyu couldn't stand the cruel war anymore, and he was even more afraid that he would have half of his head chopped off one day, so he thought of running away.
The first time he escaped, he was caught and beaten with a military stick until he vomited blood.
The second time he escaped, he was arrested and returned, and then he was beaten severely. If the Nan'an County King hadn't interceded for him, Prince Yu and Eldest Brother would have liked to have killed him as a warning to others.
After fleeing for the third time, he was finally never caught again, but happened to be caught by the enemy army who came to spy on the military situation.
Originally, those sticks saw him dressed as a small soldier, and didn't take him seriously, they just planned to kill him casually. In a hurry, Jia Baoyu reported himself, saying that he was the second master of Rongguo Mansion, that he The elder sister is the imperial concubine.
When the sticks heard this, their status was quite high, and the younger brother of the imperial concubine should be of some use.
So I took him back, and planned to use him to threaten the Qing army, tell the Qing army to stop the war, and send a princess to make peace with North Korea, and also send a lot of rare treasures... In short, all kinds of rude demands a lot.
Prince Yu and Yinyi were very happy when they heard these words. What kind of bird is Jia Baoyu? He just told Bangzi that if he wants to kill him, he will follow them. A report was made in the capital.
On the contrary, the King of Nan'an County, because of his close personal relationship with Jia's family, really didn't want to watch Jia Baoyu die, so he persuaded Prince Yu and Yinyi, hoping that they could think of a way to rescue Jia Baoyu, but that Jia Baoyu is nothing in the eyes of Prince Yu and Yinxie, how could they be willing to delay major events for such a dispensable little person?
The power in the hands of the king of Piannan'an County is not as good as that of Prince Yu and Yinxuan, and he can't be the master, and the persuasion fails, so he has to rush to send the news back to the capital, hoping that the emperor can save Jia Baoyu for the sake of Duke Rong. By the way, he also passed the news to the Rong Mansion, thinking that it would be good if the old lady and Mrs. Wang could enter the palace and ask the empress to intercede.
As soon as the old lady and Mrs. Wang heard such a terrible news like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, they couldn't catch their breath immediately, and they fainted as soon as they rolled their eyes. He took a carriage and headed for the palace.
But the palace is where they can enter if they want. Even if they want to visit the concubine, there are days and regulations. Usually, if you want to enter the palace, you have to hand over the sign first. Whether the imperial concubine who is in charge of the harem can agree, only if she agrees, she can enter, and if she refuses, she cannot enter.
So the old lady and Mrs. Wang waited at the gate of the palace all night, and they still couldn't enter the palace the next morning. They were already dizzy, dizzy and runny nose from the cold, and their faces flushed strangely. His sanity was also a little unclear, and he was already dizzy from the fever.
Seeing this situation, the servants didn't dare to delay, so they had to send the two of them home in a hurry, and called the doctor to have a look.
As for the news that it was sent to the palace, Kangxi already knew about it last night. After all, it was sent urgently from the front line eight hundred miles away, and no one dared to delay it.
But who would have thought that after reading the letter, Kangxi was so angry that he lifted the table and yelled and cursed in the imperial study for half an hour.
It's not about scolding the North Korean stick, but the king of Nan'an County.
Which onion is this Jia Baoyu?It is absurd to spend [-] miles to rush for him!
Immediately, Lord Kangxi silently made another note to Nan'an County King in his heart. As for whether to save Jia Baoyu?Haha, so a fool deserves to ask him to exchange a daughter and a large sum of rare treasures?What's more, not only did that idiot have never made any contribution to the Qing Dynasty, he dared to be a deserter!
Grandpa Kangxi sneered, burned the letter directly and ignored it, even after Jia Yuanchun heard the news and came to intercede, he was also dismissed by him. Out of anger, Grandpa Kangxi, who was in an extremely bad mood, directly sent Jia Yuanchun He was relegated to be a nobleman and deprived of his title, so he became a nobleman.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, this title is really ironic.
Everyone thought that Jia Baoyu was in danger, and that the old lady and Mrs. Wang almost went blind from crying, crying day after day in the mansion, wishing that Rong Mansion would be flooded, and the entire mansion would be covered by dark clouds.
But who would have thought that Jia Baoyu would also come back when the army returned triumphantly soon, all beard and tail unscathed!
It is said that Jia Baoyu used his beauty to conquer the Korean princess.
It is said that when the North Korean princess saw Jia Baoyu that day, she was astonished as a heavenly being, and she insisted on crying that she would not marry him. It happened that North Korea was being defeated by the Qing Dynasty. In order to ease the relationship and also to show weakness and beg for mercy, King Li Xuan decided to make peace with Daqing, not that Daqing would marry a princess to North Korea, but let the North Korean princess marry to Daqing.
As for the choice of a family member, it is naturally Jia Baoyu.
Who told the princess of North Korea to love him deeply, crying and clamoring that he should not marry? Li Wei is just such a daughter, and this daughter's personality is...he really has no other choice, but if there is a way, he can't look down on Jia Baoyu, the marriage is only useful if the daughter is sent to the palace, but it's a pity...
This adventure of Jia Baoyu is simply jaw-dropping and amazing. Most of the people in the Qing Dynasty know that there is a miraculous young man named Jia Baoyu in the Rong Mansion. The beauty is heavenly, fragrant and magnificent... He used his beauty as a weapon to make the North Korean princess bow down under his trousers, which is simply the highest state of defeating others without fighting!
Some people even ridiculed that if there is a war in the future, if Jia Baoyu is sent directly to the front line, maybe he can use his beauty to directly fascinate the enemy to death.
……
Rao Sister Lin, who thought she was well-informed and used to all kinds of anecdotes, couldn't help being shocked by Jia Baoyu for a long time, and she was a little dazed.
On the day when the army entered the capital, almost all the people in the capital were dispatched. Everyone wanted to see what kind of fairy Jia Baoyu, who conquered the enemy princess with her beauty, was like a fairy.
The three brothers and sisters of the Lin family also picked a restaurant early and reserved a private room, and the three brothers and sisters went out early in the morning. They were not curious about Jia Baoyu, but about the Princess Bangzi, and what she looked like. How ugly it is to be so obsessed with Jia Baoyu.
The chariot that the princess of North Korea was riding on was covered with white tulle, which looked elegant and beautiful from a distance. She was probably curious about what the capital city looked like, so the princess put the tulle on both sides.
