The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 327 The water is too deep
Feng Ziying stretched out her legs to turn Kang Dayong's body over, and saw a bloody hole on his forehead, with red and white substances still seeping out of it, which was very scary. Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin both took one look and turned around quickly. I dare not watch it anymore.

Feng Ziying clicked her tongue and sighed: "Killed with one shot from a hundred steps away. I didn't expect Miss Mandarin to have such accurate marksmanship."

Only then did Jia Huan know that the life-saving shot was actually fired by Mandarin. The shot fired from a hundred paces away was so powerful and accurate. It should be a rifled gun. This foreign girl secretly did it without telling him. I don't know what I am worried about? Could it be that they were afraid that the Jin Dynasty’s firearms upgrade would be detrimental to its home country, Portugal?

Nowadays, Portugal still "leases" the Macau area of ​​Dajin. There have been several conflicts with Dajin before, but most of the time they can live in peace. Moreover, the trade between Dajin and Europe is currently basically monopolized by Portugal. The rising star Netherlands is not yet able to intervene.

Jia Huan was meditating, and Tiehu also rushed over after taking care of Kato Saburo. After asking about what happened, he blamed himself a little and said: "We were careless. We were discovered by a Japanese pirate as soon as we boarded the boat, so we had to deal with it. We were alarmed." Kang Dayong, fortunately the third master is smart and Miss Mandarin fired the shot in time, otherwise I would have died forever."

Jia Huan nodded and said reproachfully: "Huzi, you did something bad this time. You are punished by forfeiting your military pay for three months. Are you convinced?"

Tie Hu felt ashamed and said: "I will be fined even if I am punished for half a year, or I will be beaten with thirty army sticks without any complaints."

Feng Ziying smiled and said: "Brother Huzi, it's almost enough. I've seen people begging for money and food, but this is the first time I've seen them begging for beatings."

All the soldiers laughed, but they were even more in awe of Jia Huan in their hearts, because they all knew that Tie Hu was Jia Huan's direct descendant, and he would be punished for making mistakes. It can be seen that the third master Huan did have clear rewards and punishments in his military use, and it was not because of Tie Hu. He is a confidant and partial.

At this time, Dai Shilin found a book wrapped in oil paper from Kang Dayong's arms. He couldn't help but rejoiced and handed it to Jia Huan respectfully: "Master Huan, this seems to be an account book!"

Jia Huan hurriedly took it and opened the oil-paper bag, and found that it was really an account book inside. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and blurted out: "Okay, with this thing, the Kang family's private salt nest case will be revealed."

A trace of uneasiness flashed across Feng Ziying's face, and she said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Huan for your great achievements again. Your career is about to start soon."

Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin looked at each other in surprise, both feeling happy for Jia Huan.

Jia Huan casually put the account book into his arms and said with a smile: "Huan does not dare to take sole responsibility for today's work. All the brothers present have a share. If the emperor has another reward, everyone will definitely share it."

"Thank you Mr. Huan!" All the soldiers cheered in unison.

Soon, the bodies of the four thieves, including Kang Dayong and Kato Saburo, were brought ashore. Kang Dayong's head was worth five hundred taels of silver, which was the reward originally given by Lin Ruhai.

Let's talk about the reunion of the Xue family. It was really the aftermath of the disaster. Aunt Xue was so excited that she hugged Chaiqin and the two daughters and cried bitterly: "My son, thank you for being safe and sound. If anything happens, how will my mother live?"

Jia Huan stood aside and watched with a smile. Suddenly, he saw Mandarin emerging from behind a group of soldiers, holding a matchlock gun on her shoulder. Her waist was straight and she looked high-spirited. He gave her a thumbs up.

Mandarin raised her chin slightly, tilted her delicate face to one side proudly, and deliberately ignored Jia Huan, but she could not hide the trace of pride on her cheeks.

At this time, there was the sound of swallowing saliva from the side. Jia Huan looked around and found that Xue Pan was staring at Mandarin with his mouth open, and the saliva from the corner of his mouth was almost hanging to the ground.

"Brother Huan, this...is this also your soldier?" Xue Pan grabbed Jia Huan's hand and asked impatiently.

Jia Huan frowned secretly. Aunt Xue had finished gathering with her daughter at this moment. She probably noticed that Jia Huan was a little unhappy, so she scolded: "Nie Zhan, your sister had to escape from the disaster so easily, and you are lying there chewing Maggot, you don’t know how to come over and say hello. Brother Huan, your cousin Pan is a lawless man. Others call him a bully. Don’t be stubborn with him, or he will lead you to bad ways.”

Jia Huan said hurriedly: "My aunt said something serious. It's so late at night. I'll take you back to the temple to rest. I'll send someone to escort you back to the city at dawn."

Aunt Xue said movedly: "Thanks to you, Brother Youhuan, if Pan'er is half as successful as you, Auntie won't have to worry."

"Mother, you are just praising your brothers, why bother to ridicule me." Xue Pan said dissatisfiedly: "No matter how bad I am, I am still your biological son. No matter how good others are, I am still someone else's son. In the end, it is not me who will take care of you until you die." "

Aunt Xue glared at Xue Pan awkwardly when she heard this.

After the fight, Jia Huan said, "Aunt has been worried today and must be tired. Let's set off, or it will be dawn."

At that moment, everyone protected the Xue family's servants and returned to the family temple. It was already early morning after they settled down.

"Aunt, Sister Bao, Sister Qin, it's getting late now. You should freshen up and rest first. Huan'er will come back tomorrow to say hello." Jia Huan bowed and was about to exit. Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "Brother Huan, wait a minute!"

Jia Huan stopped and said with a smile, "Sister Bao, do you have any other instructions?"

When Xue Baochai's eyes came into contact with Jia Huan, his cheeks suddenly glowed, and he said warmly: "Brother Huan's clothes are stained with filth. I remember that there was a vegetable garden behind the temple. The monks who guarded the temple used to grow some daily fruits. "There is a well there and a bathhouse is ready. If Brother Huan doesn't mind it, why don't you go and take a shower first?"

Due to the habit of his previous life, Jia Huan had to take a shower almost every day. Now he was covered in brain blood and blood, and he felt even more uncomfortable. Hearing this, he said: "That's fine!"

Seeing Jia Huan retreat, Aunt Xue couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Huan is a promising child after all. He really agrees with what he said. Real gold is not afraid of fire and will shine wherever he goes. The most rare thing is that although this child endures Even though he’s in front of him, he’s still so polite.”

Ying'er said with a smile: "Back then, I said Master Huan was not a thing in the pond. Look how majestic he is now. He hangs from his waist to patrol the country and command a million troops to sweep away bandits."

Xue Baoqin covered her mouth with a smile and said: "Sister Ying'er is too exaggerated. There are only a thousand people at most. How can there be an army of millions."

Xue Baochai couldn't help but smile.

Aunt Xue glanced at her dignified and quiet daughter. She hesitated to speak, but she was troubled by one thing in her heart.

Xue Baochai seemed to be aware of something and asked, "Mother, are you feeling unwell?"

Aunt Xue shook her head hurriedly: "No, well, you guys should go wash up and have a rest. I was really scared to death today. Fortunately, luck turned out to be good in the end. I should have put on a few more sticks of incense."

Let’s not talk about everyone washing and resting for the time being. Let’s talk about Jia Huan leaving the small courtyard of the Zen room reserved for the female relatives of the family and returning to the main hall. The coffin of the second wife of the Xue family was parked in the main hall at this moment. Xue Biao, dressed in mourning clothes, was keeping vigil there. A filial son.

"I've met cousin Huan!" When Xue Biao saw Jia Huan, he stood up and saluted.

Jia Huan returned the greeting and said, "You don't need to be polite, Mr. Tadashi. In fact, you are older than me. Just call me Huan'er."

As Jia Huan spoke, he placed two sticks of incense on the coffin and bowed again.

Xue Biao is fourteen years old this year, and Jia Huan is thirteen years old. However, Jia Huan is young and mature, and he is taller than his peers due to regular exercise. At first glance, he looks like he is sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is calm and composed. His temperament is not as good as that of an adult. The most important thing is that he also holds the command of a large number of troops and is able to suppress bandits on the battlefield. His aura is not something ordinary people can have, so everyone almost forgets his actual age.

Now Jia Huan reminded him, and Xue Biao finally realized that the other person was actually one year younger than him. Although he was embarrassed, he admired him even more, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, those who are successful come first, and Mr. Huan is a man of great ability. It’s not an exaggeration to call Xue Biao a cousin.”

Jia Huan said with a smile: "Second Master Tadashi is ridiculous. It's better not to mess up the seniority. If my aunt and sister Bao know about it, they will think that I bully cousin Tadaqi."

Xue Biao hurriedly said: "Then I will follow Sister Bao and call me brother."

"It's okay." Jia Huan smiled casually.

The two talked briefly for a while, and Jia Huan got a general understanding of this second master. He was mediocre, a little timid, and really had no aura. He was far inferior to Baochai and Baoqin. It seemed that the Xue family's The genetic advantages are all given to women. However, although this Xue Biao is not outstanding, he is still quite satisfactory. At least he is better than the idiot Xue Pan. If you are lucky enough to marry a good wife in the future, there should be no problem in maintaining your success, but it will take a hundred feet. It is almost impossible to go further, unless there is help from a noble person.

Well, according to the arrangement of the original work of Red Mansions, Mr. Cao seems to have made a pair of Xue Biao and Xing Xiuyan, a poor girl. Xing Xiuyan is the niece of Mrs.

Let’s stop talking and let’s get down to business. After Jia Huan and Xue Biao separated, he asked Jin Bao and Mu Ye to get a set of clean clothes, and then went to the back of the temple. Sure enough, they found a small vegetable garden with a well in it, so they fetched water and took a pleasant soak in the bathhouse. Take a cold bath.

Let's say that while Jia Huan was taking a bath, he took the account and looked through it. Although he had been mentally prepared, Jia Huan still became more and more frightened as he read, and his face became more and more solemn. When he turned to the last page By then, he was already dripping with cold sweat. He quickly stood up, wiped himself dry, put on his clothes, re-wrapped the account book in oil paper, and put it into his arms.

Tsk tsk, I really don’t know it by looking at it. I was shocked when I saw it. The water was too deep. In addition to Prince Yohitada, there was also another remarkable person involved. If you are not careful, you might really end up in trouble. Drown!
Jia Huan had just packed up and dressed when he heard a soft "bang" sound coming from outside, as if a branch had been stepped on. The sound was very slight, and coupled with the croaking of insects and frogs outside, if Jia Huan hadn't just finished reading the account book and was highly concentrated emotionally and mentally, he might have been able to hear it.
