Yurun Bingyan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 1

But she said that Daiyu received a letter from Lin Ruhai who was seriously ill in the capital. She was anxious and afraid, and she burst into tears, saying she was going back to Jiangnan.Mother Jia was also shocked, and quickly ordered Jia Lian to pack up and escort Daiyu back to Jiangnan.Daiyu was anxious in her heart, but she just picked up some softness, and brought Mammy Wang and Xueyan brought from home, not even Zijuan and went straight to the south of the Yangtze River.

"Miss, don't worry, the master will be fine." In the cabin, Xueyan comforted Daiyu carefully. Seeing that the girl's already thin body has lost weight over the past few days, she felt anxious again. There is nothing to worry about.Sitting by the window, Daiyu wiped her tears and shook her head, saying, "Dad has been in poor health since mother passed away. Unfortunately, I'm also useless and can't be by Daddy's side. I just hope that he will be well. This When I go back for the first time, I will never leave Daddy again."

Xueyan nodded quickly and said: "What the girl said is that the master will definitely get better just for the sake of the girl and the young master. In the future, the master will be in a good mood when the family is reunited, and his health will naturally be better." The Jia family But it's not a good place to go, these few years they lived in Jia's house, although no one dared to neglect the master's relationship, but after all, it's not their own house, gossip is always inevitable.My girl is also a person who likes to think too much, how can her health get better if she thinks too much?No wonder the girl didn't come back with Zicuckoo, it turned out to be such a plan, if so it would be good.

Xueyan was comforting Daiyu when she heard a commotion outside, and the boat that was moving seemed to stop.Frowning, Xueyan walked to the door and asked, "What's the matter with such a commotion? What can I do if you are arguing with the girl?" Wang Momo came in from outside, with a panicked expression on her face, and said: "Xueyan, do you accompany me?" Let the girl go in and have a good rest, don't come out!"

After hearing this tone, Daiyu knew that something must have happened outside, so she quickly asked, "Mammy, what happened?" Nanny Wang was Daiyu's nanny, and she cared and loved Daiyu the most since she was a child. It is also thanks to her management that she lived in Jia's house for a year, so Daiyu didn't have much trouble living in a family like Jia's.Wang Momo hesitated for a moment before saying: "It was said earlier that the imperial court was clearing up water bandits. Don't be afraid, girl. You will be fine after going in and resting for a while." Daiyu was spoiled and raised in a deep boudoir since childhood. His face turned pale with fright.The sound of killing from a distance is even more frightening.

Nanny Wang also has more things to do when she is older, so she is not as panicked as the two girls.Helping Daiyu to sit down, he closed the window himself so that the sound of beatings and killings in the distance would not be so loud, and then ordered Xueyan to make a cup of tea to calm Daiyu's mind.

Daiyu took a sip of ginseng tea, and gradually calmed down, "Mother, is Lian's second brother okay on the boat ahead?" After all, he accompanied her back to the south of the Yangtze River. If something happened to the Jia family, it would be difficult to explain. .Seeing her in such a hurry, Wang Momo smiled and said, "Miss, don't worry. We are still some distance away from the place where the war was fought, but the road ahead is blocked, but it is not easy to get through, so we have to slow down our schedule a bit." Take it easy." Daiyu nodded and said, "There is nothing I can do about it." Thinking of her father who is seriously ill at home, Daiyu is naturally very anxious, but what can she do when she encounters such a thing but wait?

Xueyan is only ten years old, and now she is afraid and has time to inquire about other things, "Nurse, do you think the court can win? Why don't we go back and get far away? What if... "If the soldiers of the imperial court can't fight and let those water bandits rush out, wouldn't they be in bad luck?Wang Momo patted him on the head, staring and said: "The child is not sensible, what are you talking about. I heard from the boatman that the leader of the battle ahead is the Eagle Army under General Huangfu. Can he lose the battle?"

Daiyu has never been interested in outside affairs, but she has heard the name of General Huangfu several times. It is said that he is a very victorious general, and he is very good at marching and fighting.

Xueyan is a girl, there are few girls who don't break their mouths, but they know a lot more than Daiyu, she covered her lips in surprise and said: "Mama is talking about Huangfu who was named the King of Flames General Bingyan. I heard that he is a very scary person."

"Why so scary?" Daiyu asked curiously.After all, it is also in the early ten years old, the age that is most prone to curiosity.Seeing that the two of them were chatting, Wang Momo was not as scared as before, so she let them talk on the sidelines.Seeing her daughter's rare curiosity about things other than calligraphy, painting and poetry, Xueyan quickly offered what she knew, and said somewhat mysteriously: "I heard that General Huangfu is extremely skilled in martial arts, and he is a murderous figure. The child from the small country beyond the Great Wall Hearing his name makes me cry. I also heard that his appearance was disfigured since he was a child, and he has been wearing a silver mask, so he has a violent and vicious personality. The son of an official blocked his way on the street the year before last. He even broke one leg of that man with a whip, and he is still limping. It is a pity that he has great power, and those who are beaten by him have nothing to do. Some people say that he is cruel by nature, and the concubine in the mansion I don’t know how many people have died, but now no one dares to send a concubine to his house, and no official dares to marry his daughter to him..."

Daiyu frowned when she heard Xueyan talk about the concubine's wife, she said, "You girl, do you know what's great? Most of the rumors outside are based on rumors, so don't listen to them."

Wang Momo said on the side: "These little girls are shameless and like to spread these innocent things. It is right for the girl not to listen. It has nothing to do with us to say how this General Huangfu is, but he has always guarded the border. It is something we should admire for making foreigners dare not commit minor offenses and allowing us to live in peace. Just now, if General Huangfu did not clear up the water bandits again, what should we do if we encounter them? ?”

"What Mammy said is very true." Daiyu has always respected Nanny Wang for her knowledge and knowledge, unlike ordinary women who are vulgar and ignorant.Because of this, Lin Ruhai was relieved that Nanny Wang would stay with Daiyu in Jia's house.Although Daiyu doesn't like mundane affairs, she still knows that if it weren't for those generals and soldiers who shed blood on the battlefield, they wouldn't have a peaceful life.

The three of them were chatting in the cabin, and before they knew it, the sound of killing in the distance had disappeared.Jia Lian said outside the door: "Is sister Lin all right?"

Daiyu said through the door curtain: "Daiyu is all right, second brother is all right? Is there nothing wrong outside?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Exactly, the water bandits have been beaten away by the court, so let's set off now."

While he was talking, a boat came up and paralleled Daiyu's boat, and a person on board asked, "Excuse me, are you the family of Mr. Lin, the salt inspector in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Jia Lian was taken aback for a moment, and there were a dozen or so energetic men in military uniforms standing on the opposite boat.The one in the middle is wearing a silver armor and a green robe, with a silver mask covering his face, his figure is tall and straight, and his momentum is imposing.Even though there was a boat far away, the indifferent eyes under the mask still made Jia Lian feel a chill in his heart.Jia Lian was originally a person who was good at changing things, but he reacted after a moment of surprise, looking at the person in front of him with some fear, "Is this His Royal Highness Yan Wang?"

"Are the family members of Mr. Shi Lin, the inspector of salt and water in the south of the Yangtze River, on board?" The man seemed not to have heard Jia Lian's words, and repeated what he had just said lightly.

Jia Lian was a bit resentful, but seeing the cold swords in the hands of the soldiers in that boat, he could only reply obediently: "That's right. Jia Lian is in the Rongguo Mansion, escorting Lin's younger sister back to the south to visit relatives."

Sitting in the cabin, Daiyu only listened to the low voice and said: "Although the water bandits were repelled, there are still some sporadic escapes. This king and Mr. Lin are also old acquaintances, so they ordered people to escort them south." Hearing these words, That person was indeed Huangfu Bingyan, the general of Yanwang Zhenguo.

After Jia Lian thanked Nuonuo, there was no more sound outside.

The ship set sail again, Xueyan quietly opened the corner of the curtain, and sure enough, she saw a warship and some ships following them.There were a few soldiers holding halberds standing on the deck, and there was no one else, and naturally they did not see the frightening General Huangfu in the legend.Only the black eagle on the flag on the bow was about to fly.It turned out that the master actually knew this General Huangfu, and he was a pretty good person.Xueyan thought to herself.When encountering water bandits on the road, they would naturally worry about what to do if they encountered them again. Unexpectedly, General Huangfu would send someone to escort them all the way.For the first time, Xueyan felt that perhaps the rumors might not be true.

"Mommy, so Daddy still recognizes this Flame King?" Daiyu felt at ease, if she had an old relationship with Daddy, she must not be a bad person.It's just that I never heard my father mention knowing such a person.Wang Momo said with a smile: "Master has a lot of friends, and there are some girls who haven't heard of it. This general can see us for the sake of the master. I think we have a very good relationship. This general is also a You're polite." Knowing that it was the daughter in the boudoir who was on the boat, she didn't say anything more, how could it be that some people who don't know the rules just casually broke into the boudoir of the daughter's house?
"Daddy's friends are naturally good." In Daiyu's eyes, everything related to her father is good.Thinking of seeing her father tomorrow, Daiyu finally had a slight smile on her beautiful smiling face.

In the early morning, Xueyan helped Daiyu get up and make up.Because of what happened yesterday, both master and servant didn't sleep very well, Daiyu's already thin face was even more haggard.

When Wang Momo came in with breakfast, she couldn't help but smile when she saw the faces of the master and servant: "The girl did not sleep well last night, but fortunately she will be here this morning. You must take care of yourself when you get home. " Daiyu smiled faintly, drank a few sips of porridge casually and asked Xueyan to leave when she lost her appetite, and said to Wang Mama: "General Huangfu sent someone to escort us back, and I have to trouble Madam to thank Yuer on behalf of Yu'er. People say that it was Daddy's old man who gave us a ride, but we can't ask Lian's second brother to thank us. This is owed by the Lin family." Wang Momo nodded and said: "Young lady is right. The slave will go. The girl is a daughter of the boudoir, so it is not impolite not to show up in person." Seeing Daiyu's small face, Wang Momo was also very pleased.Many people in Jia's family said that the girl was clean-eyed and ignorant of the world.But who knows that the girl is just unwilling to make false claims with that Qizi.No matter how bad the daughter of the Lin family is, there is naturally no shortage of things that should be paid attention to.
