[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

Early the next morning, under Jia Jing's reluctant eyes, Jia Zi embarked on a journey to Gusu alone.

If it is said that when Jia Zi left the capital to go to the battlefield last time, Jia Jing did not know about it and did not make any preparations; then this time, Jia Jing directly staged a scene of sending off the eighteenth party to Jia Zi.

"Sister," Jia Jing struggled to carry the extra-large bag that he ordered someone to prepare overnight, and looked at Jia Zi with concern on his face: "This bag is specially prepared for you by my brother. You will definitely use it. , there are your favorite snacks and pastries, and..."

Jia Jing nagged and asked Jia Zi about various matters to go south, and explained in detail to Jia Zi the various things he had prepared: from basic food and clothing to self-defense dagger ropes, and possibly All kinds of medicines used, even drugs, and items that are sufficient to deal with various situations should be prepared.If you only look at Jia Jing's preparations, it seems that Jia Zi is a child who has never grown up and has never gone out.

Jia Zi quietly listened to Jia Jing's nagging words, looking at the big bag in Jia Jing's hand, he felt dumbfounded.However, Jia Jing's concern still made her heart warm: Jia Jing is the one who has never traveled far, and he is so well prepared, he must have not slept last night - just look at the change of clothes, Jia Jing No less than ten sets were prepared for Jiazi: not only the temperature in Gusu was higher than that in the capital, but even the humid and rainy climate that was completely different in Gusu and the capital was taken into consideration.

"Or..." In the end, with a mournful face, Jia Jing pulled Jia Zi's sleeve and said conclusively, "I'd better go with you."

Jiazi finally couldn't help laughing, and finally he simply stuffed the burden back into Jia Jing's arms: "Brother, I didn't go to Longtan and Tiger's Lair, and I will never come back. Why are you like this?" I was moved by Jia Jing's good intentions, but Jia Zi would never go south with such a large bag of things: she went to work, not to escape.If she really walked with so many things on her back, she probably would have been completely crushed before reaching Gusu.

"Furthermore," seeing that Jia Jing was about to refute, Jia Zi quickly interrupted Jia Jing again: "You also brought me the drug, do I need it? Don't forget, I have this." Jia Zi As Zi Zi spoke, he shook his fist, looking like "I'll just hit my fist if I have something to do, there's no time to use the drug so slowly".

Jia Jing murmured and retorted: "Isn't this prepared for any danger? You have never been to Gusu before, and this time you will go alone. How can I rest assured..."

"Okay." Seeing that Jia Jing was about to start nagging again, Jia Zi hurriedly stopped Jia Jing: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely take good care of myself: travel to the mountains and rivers all the way, eat enough and sleep well, God If you are not black, you will enter the inn, and when you enter the inn, you have to go to the room. Even when you sleep, you will open one eye to ensure that you will not be plotted by others. When you come back, you must be fat and white, okay?"

Jia Jing looked at Jia Zi suspiciously: "You promise?" Looking at Jia Zi's thin appearance, Jia Jing couldn't completely believe Jia Zi's words in his heart: when he came back from the battlefield, Jia Zi was thin and frail, and now he is very thin. I'm going to Gusu, and when I come back, I don't know how thin I will be!

"I promise!" Jiazi agreed with a smile: "Okay, big brother, it's getting late, I really have to go. You should go home quickly, don't let sister-in-law worry about you, do you hear me?" As soon as Jiazi finished speaking, he wanted to get on his horse and leave.

Jia Jing grabbed Jia Zi, took out a large amount of banknotes from his pocket, and stuffed them into Jia Zi's hand: "Take it for the road." Then, Jia Jing put the big bag in his hand on Jia Zi's. Hand: "Azi, you have brought your burden. If there is something that the elder brother did not think of, you can buy some on the way and deal with it temporarily! Alas, the time is too urgent. If you give the elder brother one more day, the elder brother can do it." Everything is ready for you."

Jia Zi accepted the bank note with a smile, then stuffed the huge bundle into Jia Jing's arms, and then easily got on his horse.When Jia Jing came to his senses, Jia Zi laughed and left.

Jia Jing glanced at the big bag in his arms, finally stomped his feet, and directly stuffed the bag into the arms of the servant beside him.Seeing that the boy was nearly collapsed by the heavy burden, Jia Jing curled his lips, then turned and walked back.

On the way back, Jia Jing still felt very aggrieved.He originally thought that Jiazi was suddenly called to the palace because he wanted to cancel her marriage with Lin Hai, but in the end he sent Jiazi to Gusu to search for bandits.

"Really," the villain in Jia Jing's heart scratched the wall and complained: "Catching bandits is such a dangerous matter, why must Azi go? The bandits were not created by Azi, why should she go to solve it?" ah……"

Just when Jia Jing secretly put an old and foolish hat on the present, Jia Zi had already carried the will of the present in his arms, with simple luggage on his shoulders, and ran a long way.

Riding the horse and galloping on the official road, listening to the whistling wind in his ears, Jiazi felt a long-lost joy in his heart: go to the Cicheng Gate, ride the horse with the west wind, this is life!

However, thinking of the secret decree today, Jiazi couldn't help but start to have a headache: She obviously didn't want to get involved in the royal mess, but why didn't she let her go to the Ningguo Mansion now?

Although Jiazi complained about the current secret decree, she was still very concerned about the bandits: after all, the lives of many innocent people were at stake, so it should not be taken lightly.

Therefore, all the way south, Jia Zi was not in the mood to travel around the mountains and rivers. Instead, he lived in the open air.Not to mention eating and sleeping well, she hasn't even been in the inn a few times.I often miss Sutou when I am in a hurry. If I am lucky, I can find a ruined temple. If I am not lucky, I can only sleep in the wild.

In fact, Jiazi also had some doubts about the bandits in his heart: Gusu is a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River, with a long history, beautiful scenery, affluent life, and people's well-being. ?

However, Jiazi felt that today would not be so stupid, and would not ruin the wealthy Gusu City for a trivial illegitimate child: unless the chair under his buttocks is too stable for sitting too firmly.Therefore, the matter of bandits is either an excuse for today, or there is another black hand behind the scenes.

He hurried all the way to Gusu, Jia Zi was afraid that he would be one step too late.

However, looking at the sluggish appearance of the soldiers guarding the city and the bustling street in front of him, Jiazi finally breathed a sigh of relief: it seems that the bandit incident should be non-existent.Otherwise, not to mention that the defense of the city gate could not be so loose, even there would not be so many people wandering on the street.

"I still have to inquire about the bandits in secret." Jiazi muttered softly, instead of going directly to the Gusu Prefect's Mansion, he turned directly into an inn beside the canal.

After asking the store for an upper room, Jia Zi took a comfortable bath first, then changed into the gorgeous clothes prepared in advance, and ordered a table of good food and wine, and then sat directly in the Yun By the river, eat while watching the busy scene of boats coming and going on the canal.

In fact, at the beginning, Jiazi thought of entering Gusu City disguised as a beggar.After all, beggars are not conspicuous and well-informed: There are many news that ordinary people may not know, but beggars will definitely know.Of course, the most important thing is that Jiazi has never been a beggar before, and he can't help but want to try it.

However, Jazi soon changed his mind: It might be easy for a beggar to inquire about information, but no one would attack a beggar—if there were bandits, then a noble son like himself who was alone would The best object of robbery.As for the news, if she has money, will she still not be able to find out?

As for safety, Jiazi touched the whip wrapped around her waist and the dagger tied to her arm, and touched the jade pendant left by her father Jia Daihua in her clothes, and suddenly became bolder: General Gusu Huang Shan is Jia Daihua's confidant, and like Jiao Da, he is loyal to Jia Daihua—it's just that Jiao Da stayed by Jia Daihua's side as a soldier, but Huang Shan has always stayed in the army. in doing things.Now Huang Shan happens to be a general in Gusu.

With such an idea in mind, Jia Zi directly changed into gorgeous clothes, pretended to be a rich man who had run away from home, and in the restaurant ostentatiously ordered a table of food and drink that she could not finish by herself, and pretended to be Curiously pulling the extremely chatty waiter to chatter non-stop.

"Young master," the clever shop waiter said with a smile while pouring wine for Jiazi, "you can rest assured. If you want to talk about our inn, it is a very safe place in Gusu City. Live with peace of mind." Looking at Jia Zi, who is curious about everything but wants to show a serious look, and who is obviously worried about his safety but secretly runs away from home, Jia Zi , the waiter in the shop felt a little funny: such a coward, dare to run around, how young!

"That's good, that's good," Jiazi let out a long breath with a reassuring expression, then squinted at the waiter, and added, "I'm not afraid. I just listen to them Said, there are bandits everywhere outside, so just ask. I haven’t seen this before, I’m curious!” In the last sentence, Jiazi deliberately put on a very curious look.

In fact, seeing the contemptuous eyes of the waiter, Jia Zi knew that he had successfully tricked the waiter.In this way, it might be much easier for her to investigate.

Hearing Jiazi's words, the guest at the next table suddenly interjected: "This little brother mentioned bandits, but I remembered another incident, which happened near Hanshan Temple."

"Hanshan Temple?"

"That's right," the guest smiled and nodded at Jiazi: "Little brother, you haven't even heard of Hanshan Temple. This Hanshan Temple is the most famous place in Gusu. The 'Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City' Shansi, midnight bells to passenger ships' have you heard?"

Jiazi nodded, took a sip of his wine, and said with a smile, "Of course I know. What happened to Hanshan Temple?" On the surface, he pretended to be serious, but in his heart, Jiazi was secretly thinking about it. Writer: No wonder it sounds familiar, it turned out to be that Hanshan Temple!Yes, there is a Hanshan Temple in Gusu.This journey was too hasty, and I forgot about it.Well, when things are over, let's go to Hanshan Temple to have a look...

"We have a family in Gusu City." The guest thought for a while, and moved directly to Jiazi's table, and lowered his voice mysteriously: "It is said that they were robbed a while ago, and they are near Hanshan Temple."

"The guest officer is talking about the Su family, right?" The waiter looked around, and found that the boss didn't notice him, so he simply sat down, with the same mysterious look: "I heard that, the whole family didn't Oh, what a tragedy!"

When Jia Zi heard the word Su's family, his eyes lit up.However, Jia Zi quickly suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, and while secretly raising his vigilance, he looked at the two people in front of him with feigned surprise: "What the hell is going on? Could there really be bandits?"

The author has something to say: Today: I have to see who Jiazi is!

Lin Hai: It must be mine!

Jia Jing: It's over, I forgot to prepare laxatives for my sister!
