Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 197: Jun Chen has been in the East for a long time, and returns to the court to test his love.

There is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hate for no reason.All love and hate have traces to follow.

Wen Dongjun's performance is confusing.

Qin Zhong thought about it seriously, and he really didn't know anyone with the surname 'Wen' in his memory.Wen Dongjun is indeed meeting for the first time!Even if I searched the memories of the original work of the Red Chamber in my mind, I couldn't find the slightest impression of this person.

It should not be the person who directly appeared in the original work of A Dream of Red Mansions, but perhaps the character hidden behind some stories in the original work.

That would be too difficult to check!
The point is, the two have never crossed paths!

"Brother Dong Jun was joking." Qin Zhong smiled awkwardly. The word "deliberately" is really easy to make people have bad guesses. He doesn't want to experience the power of the musket with his body.

Seeing him like this, Wen Dongjun couldn't help but have doubts in his eyes, waiting for the palace's fine wine and delicacies to be displayed.He said: "If you don't believe me, forget it. When the wine comes, you should drink a few cups."

There are too many unreasonable people in the world, and a lot of rude people have seen it.But it was the first time I saw someone who dared to be rude in the Prince's Mansion of Beijing County.

The host, King Beijing, hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Wen Dongjun had already poured himself out.

Qin Zhong stared blankly.

Prince Beijing, who was in charge, apparently also saw what was going on in the last seat. He smiled lightly and asked someone to pour the wine.Said: "Dong Jun is here. The sound of footsteps in the empty valley makes me cherish it. The house is simple and simple. I hope Mr. Dong will not be scornful and just take it easy."

Wen Dongjun raised his eyes to look at King Bei Jing, and said, "It's a thousand times better than where I lived in Nan Province for the past two years." After that, he didn't care about everyone present, and he wanted to drink with Qin Zhong when he turned around.

At this moment, not only Qin Zhong, but everyone present was stunned.Even though they were speculating in their hearts one by one, they didn't dare to speak out.

But King Beijing said with a smile: "Don't worry about him, he has always been like this." As he spoke, he took a deep look at Qin Zhong, as if surprised.

In this way, everyone present really didn't care about Wen Dongjun and Qin Zhong, they were clearly at the same table, but they seemed to be separated from each other by two worlds.

Is this guy really a prince?
After this idea flashed into Qin Zhong's mind, he dared not underestimate it.But at the same time, there is another question, if it is the prince, there should be someone besides King Beijing who knows him.

He didn't understand the rules of the imperial court, but he felt that it would be inappropriate for the prince to come to the palace of Beijing County as a guest?
Just as he was thinking about it, Wen Dongjun urged: "I've already drank, why is Qing Jing still stunned?"

Qin Zhong lifted the cup and drank it all, only to feel a warm fragrance permeate the tip of his tongue, slide down the root of his tongue and into his throat, the mellow taste burst out at this moment, like a small bonfire lit in his internal organs.

Wen Dongjun smiled and said: "The wine in their house is not bad! I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I came to ask for wine just once." He patted Qin Zhong on the shoulder and urged: "Let's eat some vegetables first. "

Qin Zhong responded with a humming sound.

Seeing a person walking out to share the food, Wen Dongjun frowned and said, "Where are there so many rules, I don't need you."

Hearing this, King Beijing nodded repeatedly and said: "Jun Dong is right, why do you need so many rules, you all go down." Then he dismissed all the maidservants.

Qin Zhong had no choice but to pick up food with the serving chopsticks in front of him, but he was even more curious about Wen Dongjun's identity in his heart.

Asked: "Brother Dongjun, where did you come from in the southern province?"

Wen Dongjun laughed and said, "Speaking of which, I still have some relationship with Jingqing."

"Huh? How do you say this?"

"There is an anecdote in Beijing that Jingqing worshiped Mrs. Wang, the wife of Mrs. Jia Zheng of the Rongguo Mansion, as her godmother. I wonder if it is true or not?"

"There is such a thing."

"Then it has something to do with it. Before returning to Beijing this time, I stayed in Yangzhou for a while. Does Qingqing know about the relationship between Lord Lin and the Jia family?"

Qin Zhong nodded.

How could he not know the relationship between the Lin family and the Jia family? Lin Ruhai's wife is Jia Zheng's younger sister, and Lin Ruhai's direct daughter is Lin Daiyu who lived in Rongguo Mansion for a while.

Wen Dongjun smiled and said: "Before returning to Beijing, I stayed at Lin Yushi's mansion in Yangzhou for a few days. Seeing that he is in good health, I returned to Beijing with peace of mind."

He said it lightly, but Qin Zhong felt that the matter was not so simple after hearing it.

Lin Ruhai, who was supposed to die in the original book, is doing fine now, could it be related to this Wen Dongjun in front of him?

Qin Zhong wanted to ask, but didn't know how to ask.

On the contrary, Wen Dongjun admitted to himself first, and said with emotion: "This trip to Huaiyang was unexpectedly dangerous. Both the Jia family where Jingqing's godmother lives and their Lin family have to thank me."

Qin Zhong secretly observed Dongjun's expression, it didn't seem like he was panicking. "Brother Dongjun has done a lot of hard work, and the younger brother has a toast to the elder brother."

"Oh? Very good."

Wen Dongjun let out a cry of surprise, and smiled heartily again.Sighing: "I saw Jing Qing for the first time today, and I thought I had met my old friend. It's a pity that that person is just a dull person, unable to hold back a word for a long time."

amount……

Qin Zhong smiled wryly, in his previous life he was also known as a dull pot.

Wen Dongjun said again: "Unfortunately, I will never meet that old friend in this life!"

Qin Zhong said: "There is always a chance to meet each other."

"No chance!" Wen Dongjun looked a little lonely, turned his head to give Qin Zhong a deep look, and said, "Let's not talk about him. I have also heard many rumors about Jingqing outside. It is said that Jingqing has the ability to increase food production." ?”

Qin Zhong shook his head and said: "It's not about skills, but through some technical methods to make the crops grow more rationally, so that they can produce more fruits on the original basis."

"Oh~~? Jingqing is a great talent!" Wen Dongjun's eyes narrowed for a moment, and he raised his wine and said, "I respect Jingqing, brother."

Qin Zhong smiled wryly, and drank another cup, the food in the bowl has not been eaten yet.

Wen Dongjun, like a curious baby, asked how Qin Zhong met the Jia family.

Qin Zhong casually fooled the past.

Wen Dongjun asked suddenly: "Is there a sister in Jingqing's family?"

Qin Zhong's heart suddenly became alarmed, he looked at Wen Dongjun suspiciously, and asked in a cold voice: "Brother, why do you want to ask about this?"

Wen Dongjun obviously had a good capacity for alcohol. Even though he was half a head shorter than Qin Zhong in height, and his body was not muscular, he didn't change his expression even after drinking a few cups of wine.It seemed that Qin Zhong's tone was wrong, and he quickly apologized: "I forgot for a while... I was rude to my brother. I have no other intentions, but I heard that your Qin family and Jia family seem to be in-laws. Why did Jingqing recognize Wang as his mother?" ?”

in law?

They are not officially married yet.

Qin Zhong secretly complained that this guy reversed the order.Perfunctory: "Everything is fate."

"Fate?! What a fate, you can drink a cup."

"..."

I don't know how long it took, Qin Zhong became a little dazed, looking at Wen Dongjun next to him, he felt more and more like an old acquaintance woman.

At this time, the other people at the banquet had gradually dispersed, and King Jing of Beijing came to the two of them.

The king of the county complained a little: "I want to ask his opinion, I didn't want to be drunk by Dong Jun first."

Wen Dongjun looked at Qin Zhong who was propping his chin with one hand on the table, and said with a smile: "Isn't it the right time to ask questions? They must be sincere."

King Beijing refused: "Taking advantage of others' danger is not what a gentleman would do. Jing Qing is already drunk, I'll let the Chief of the Palace, Shi, send him back."

Wen Dongjun regained his energy immediately, and said: "Don't bother the king of the county, since he came because of me, I will send him back. I just want to visit Qinghe Town." The two of them directly supported Qin Zhong and were about to go out.

Seeing this, the King of Beijing hurriedly said: "It's getting late, Dongjun needs a lot of effort to go back and forth, and the Qinghe boundary is the same, and at night..."

Wen Dongjun laughed twice, and said: "It would be an interesting thing if someone put their minds on me. Where in the world would I dare not go? Even the southeast islands where the red-haired pirates are entrenched, I would also enter In and out several times."

After all, Wen Dongjun shook the musket hidden in his robe, and the handsome and easy-talking King Beijing Jing was frightened.

fierce!Too fierce!
Qin Zhong furtively half-opened his eyes, only feeling terrified.I thought to myself: what the hell is this character, his tone is so loud that there is no limit.

King Bei Jing said: "Dongjun is the phoenix of my great Chu, even the suburbs of the imperial city should be cautious."

"What a shame! If it's too late, I will naturally stay in the garden outside the city." Wen Dongjun didn't appreciate it. He said "leave" and led a group of people out of the garden.

Seeing this situation, Shi, the magistrate of the county prince, couldn't help asking: "What is the identity of this person? He is so domineering."

Beijing Wang Shuirong shook his head lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't inquire about his identity, just know that you don't want to offend him, otherwise you can save your life unless the Holy One speaks."

Chang Shi gasped.

King Beijing breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and confessed: "He will come again in the future, treat him with royal courtesy, and try to satisfy whatever requirements he has." Speaking of this, Shui Rong paused, and said: "Inside and outside the palace, Let him go."

"what?"

oh~~
Qin Zhong who was helped into the carriage suddenly sobered up.Blindly pondering Wen Dongjun's identity and purpose.

Thinking back to the chat before, I could hear some meaning.In addition to the fact that this person's identity can make the king of Beijing particularly jealous, he seems to be extremely concerned about himself, or has a special curiosity.

However, Qin Zhong did not see that the chariots and horses were marching in front of and behind the soldiers.

Wen Dongjun was riding a tall horse, with armed guards in front of him and behind him.In addition to a stout man with a knife next to him, there were also a few guards with short-handled muskets more than three feet long in their arms.

They swaggered through the market in Shenjing City like this, and no one dared to stop them when they left Deshengmen.

Lan Yongzhen, the horse-leader of the Qin family, was terrified. He had never seen such a battle before, and felt that these people were more terrifying than the Deshengmen Arrow Tower artillery.

After all, the cannons on Desheng Gate are used to tell the time, and the muskets in these people's hands can definitely kill people.

Qin Zhong also had a big heart. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he just lay down in the carriage and fell asleep.No matter what his mother is, it won't kill her anyway.From any perspective, it is impossible to kill him.

Wen Dongjun was on the high horse, looking down at the people who were avoiding him, with a somewhat incomprehensible look in his eyes.I don't know what I'm thinking!
No one who didn't open their eyes dared to cause trouble along the way, because whoever saw the battle stood upright, either opened their eyes wide to pay attention, or hid behind others and watched secretly.

When they arrived at Qinghe Town, there was a little commotion, but Wen Dongjun didn't care.It was only when he got close to the Qin family's mansion that he looked around.

"What a good place!" Wen Dongjun got off his horse sideways.

It was a tall woman who was leading the horse, and asked doubtfully, "What's the difference between this place and other places?"

Wen Dongjun looked at the carriage in front of him, and said with deep meaning: "If he really has that ability, it will be very different."

The tall woman said in a soft voice: "Last night, I heard from the servants of the palace that the prince also valued him very much. It seems that he has confirmed his ability."

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. I can't make a definition without seeing it with my own eyes." Wen Dongjun said slowly, "Send people around to inquire about the Qin family's information, and ask carefully about any anecdotes. Neighbors’ evaluations are always more truthful than what other people say.”

The tall woman nodded and said with a smile: "You don't believe what the King of Beijing said?"

Wen Dongjun shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. Anyway, if Shui Rong deceived me, you will take a few people to plant some mines outside the county prince's mansion tonight, and blow up his courtyard wall for me."

"Cough...cough cough...that is the county prince's mansion after all."

"I know, that's why I didn't ask you to bombard his house with two cannons!"

"..."

Qin Zhong stretched beautifully in the carriage, raised a corner of the curtain and looked out, only to see that it was getting late.The surrounding scenery is already familiar, and it is back to Qinghe Town.

Suddenly, he saw a long thing behind him.

gun?
Musket?

Musketeers?
Damn, why is there a musketeer here?
It was also the first time he saw a musket in this world, but he recognized it immediately.Although the appearance is not as exaggerated as in the textbook, but seeing the round long barrel and the butt of the gun, it would be really blind if you couldn't recognize it.

Qin Zhong at this time has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

Just feeling the novelty, he poked his head and looked at the guard with a musket next to him.

"Why are they all women?"

"Could it be a 'kidney man' who likes to play with guns?"

Qin Zhong tilted his head and thought about it.Although there is no ban on guns in this era, there are even many craftsmen who make guns among the people.But it is absolutely impossible to say that someone who is so swaggering and walking on the road with a gun does not have an official status.

This identity must also be related to the gun.

"Could it be that Wen Dongjun is from the Firearms Camp?"

Seeing that the Qin family's mansion was right in front of him, Qin Zhong no longer guessed randomly.He pulled the bell on the carriage, called to stop the horse, and got out of the carriage slowly.

"It turned out that Brother Dongjun was behind. I just surprised my younger brother. I thought it was the Shenjing Musketeer Battalion who came to Qinghe Town." Qin Zhong laughed, pretending not to know that Dongjun was following behind.

Wen Dongjun didn't hide it, he cupped his hands and said: "When I was in the county prince's mansion, my brother saw Jing Qing drunk, so how can I rest assured. I took my followers and escorted Jing Qing all the way back."

"Brother Dongjun's entourage is really extraordinary!" Qin Zhong said with deep meaning.

Wen Dongjun said: "They are all brothers who were born and died, and I will follow wherever I go. Jingqing's safety is related to the abundance of my big Chu granary, so I followed them too, didn't Jingqing be surprised?!"

brother?

Obviously they are all women!
Qin Zhong glanced sideways at the burly people around Wen Dongjun. These people had no beard on their faces and looked like women.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Qin Zhong laughed dryly, and said: "Brother Lao Dongjun will send you off, it's getting late now..."
