The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 383 Who cares about the fourth brother Min
After such a long silence, the old lady finally spoke.

"Brother Lian, after seeing the emperor these two days, go to Zhili. Brother Ming stayed in Bu Kui, ask him how to deal with this matter. Oh, let's all go back and rest, this is the end of the matter, see It is God's will to come."

As Jiamu spoke, she left first with the support of Yuanyang and Amber.

The rest of the people looked at each other for a while, but had nothing to say.

Li Wan, You Shi, and Wang Xifeng helped Qin Keqing, who had a big belly, to go first. Everyone comforted Jia Zhen and then dispersed.

For this matter, they really have nothing to do.Fortunately, the old lady said, she went to ask Jia Min how to deal with it, so she felt a little hopeful.

They also understood that although the old lady said she was asking Jia Min, she was actually asking Jia Min to take care of the matter.

It's just because Jia Min opposed Baoyu and others going to North Wendula before, and his family supported Baoyu and others, so now he can't speak to Jia Min confidently.

After everyone left, Xue Pan sighed to himself.

For Xue Pan and others, they refused to listen to Jia Min's dissuasion and insisted on going to North Vendura.Baochai was also very angry at the beginning.

She once persuaded her brother to listen to Jia Min and report to the Fubingtuan when he arrived in Bukui.

At that time Xue Pan also agreed wholeheartedly, but it was just perfunctory Baochai.Even Baochai felt that they might not listen to him.

Sure enough, something went wrong now, which made Baochai sad and frustrated.

Originally, I resented my brother's disobedience for such a big incident.However, when he saw his brother like that, his heart softened.He didn't say a word of complaint, but comforted him instead.

Compared with Jia Rong and Baoyu, Xue Pan's ending is considered auspicious. Aunt Xue is already very satisfied, and she can't bear to talk about Xue Pan anymore.

In fact, what she wanted to say was useless.Because as soon as everyone left, Xue Pan fell asleep on the chair.

After so many days of high mental tension and extreme physical exhaustion, now that I got home and told this important event, I suddenly slacked off.

It was Xue Biao who came to help, and together with Xiangling, got Xue Pan onto the kang.

When Wang Xifeng arrived at Qin Keqing's place, he stayed there for more than half an hour before returning home.

After Jia Lian left, she stayed alone in the vacant room, and felt quite lonely every night.I thought that when Jia Lian came back, the husband and wife could have a good time, but I didn't expect such a big event to happen, and I immediately felt dull.

"How is Brother Rong's daughter-in-law?"

Jia Lian also knew that it was useless to ask him this question, so he couldn't help asking.

"Oh, so what? I always don't say a word. I just cry and don't say a word."

"You should visit more these days and enlighten her."

"I can enlighten her, but it's the same on whose head this kind of thing falls. How can it be forgotten in a few words? It's all because the third ring is not a thing, and he did such a crazy thing. "

"Hey, maybe it's doom, the Jia family is destined to have such a difficult time."

"What calamity? If you had listened to the fourth brother Min, how could it be like this? Now everyone is silent. At the beginning, they tried their best to persuade Baoyu and the others to earn military merits."

"Military merit is not so easy to earn. Others only watch us win battles and earn military merit, but who knows how much we have endured and worked hard for this? The Tatars are very tough. They have been riding on horseback since they were young. I grew up, and even some veterans are no match, let alone Baoyu and the others?"

"Isn't this the result of being blindly spoiled? I always feel that he can respond to everyone at home, and he can call the wind and rain outside. But the Tatars know who he is? Mingyan said that it was for his part, and he was so cruel. Smoke kills, is there any humanity left?"

"Baoyu has been pampered and spoiled since she was a child. When encountering such a thing, it is natural to save her own life first."

"That's it. If you get it back, it's still a waste. It's better to let him fend for himself."

"Sister Feng, don't talk nonsense. It's fine to talk about it at home, but don't talk about it outside."

"Of course I know the seriousness. Alas, at this time, I think of the fourth brother Min. Who cares about the fourth brother Min, who is also in danger now."

The next day, just after breakfast, two eunuchs came and told Jia Min to go to the palace.

When they reached the west gate, Jia Lian saw several housekeepers muttering together, and after seeing Jia Lian, they dispersed.

Jia Lian had some doubts in his heart, whether they knew about it.But thinking about it again, even if the family members don't know what's going on, the matter is of great importance, so they wouldn't say it easily.

Jia Lian's worries were a bit unnecessary, and indeed no one leaked the matter.

However, what the stewards were talking about was indeed related to this matter.

Because some of them found that last night, except for a few girls, the lights in the rest of the master's house were kept on very late.

This is the first time in so many years.

Just about to go out, through the open window, I saw Aunt Zhao in the West Flower Hall, chatting happily with some women.

Jia Lian leaned over to listen, and it turned out that it was Aunt Zhao who was telling others how her son Jia Huan was promising, and this time he had made military exploits in Dula, North Vancouver.When he comes back in the future, he will be more promising than Jia Min, and so on.

These words were just what Jia Lian said to his ancestors last night, and now Aunt Zhao believes them to be true, and spreads them everywhere according to the scriptures.

As for the occasion where the truth was revealed last night, Aunt Zhao was not qualified to participate.

In fact, it is true that she cannot be told the truth.

When something came to her mouth, there was no secret at all.

Jia Lian was a little annoyed with her, but he just shook his head and walked away.What's more, I still feel sorry for Aunt Zhao.

If she knew what her son had done in the future, she didn't know how she would feel.

Jia Lian originally thought that the emperor would summon him in the early morning, and on the way back, he was also prepared to answer in his heart, and wanted to take this opportunity to publicize the achievements of the government corps in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, so as to serve The government corps won glory.

When I arrived at the gate of the Forbidden City, I saw that the court had already dispersed, and the ministers were walking out in twos and threes.

When he entered the palace, it wasn't the emperor who summoned him, but the Lu University scholar who asked him to question him.

Regarding the repelling of the Tatars by the Fubing Corps in Erdaojiang, the Lu University scholar simply asked about the process, and stopped asking.

The battle of Erdaojiang to repel the Tatars is actually of great significance.Jia Lian originally wanted to talk about it in detail, but the Lu University scholar didn't seem to be interested in it.

On the contrary, he was very interested in the Tatar peace talks proposal and asked a lot.

He asked Jia Lian about the Tatars' request for peace talks, but it was actually a waste of time.

When Jia Lian left Bukui, the Tatars did not have this proposal.

In the end, the words were not speculative, and Jia Lian left.

Before leaving, Jia Lian asked Lu Dashi, what would he do in the future?
Meaning do I wait at home, or go back to Bu Kyu?

Master Luo said that you can go back to Bukui, and you don't have to wait at home anymore.

In other words, no one will summon him again in the future.

He came back in a hurry, and it ended so hastily, which not only made Jia Lian feel a little disappointed.

Originally thought that the government corps had won such a big victory, and they would have a good time when they come back.Unexpectedly, the imperial court seemed not interested in victory.Both the officialdom and the people responded relatively coldly to this.

Jia Lian thought for a while, and finally understood.

When the Tatars are about to go south, and may even sweep across the northeast, threatening the imperial capital, everyone will pay attention.

Now that the Tatars' southward movement was stopped, they demanded peace talks, and the imminent threat disappeared, Pukui's importance declined sharply.

Even about the Prince and Princess Chang'an, the Bachelor of Lu University didn't ask a few more questions.

This can't help but make Jia Lian feel a little sad.

Grieve for yourself, grieve for the government corps, grieve for Jia Min, grieve for the prince and princess, and grieve for the soldiers who died in North Wendura.

Even sad for Baoyu and Jiahuan.

Some of the imperial troops who were defeated in North Wendura died in battle.Many more, in fact, did not die, but became captives of the Tartars.

North Vendura has a vast area and a sparse population, where there is a shortage of labor.These captured soldiers were just used to enrich the ranks of slaves of the Tartars.

Not long after Jia Lian left the palace, he met Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. You.

It turned out that today is the day of visiting relatives, and they went to the palace to meet Yuan Chun.

After talking a few words, it was decided to go back to discuss things at night, and then they went their separate ways.

The old lady and others went to the palace, while Jia Lian went to live in the wild.

Although now the emperor has resumed the early court, it seems that the court has resumed normal operation.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the cloud brought about by the defeat of North Wendura has not dissipated yet.It's just that both the officialdom and the people are avoiding this topic.

The atmosphere in the palace is still oppressive. The maids, eunuchs, guards and even the concubines are all cautious now, holding their breath and not daring to slack off.

Zhou Tong is now in charge of patrolling the guards around the palace, and he works hard every day.I'm afraid that at this time, something went wrong.

After inspecting the palace, he went outside the palace and inspected along the palace wall.After returning to the Meridian Gate, he checked the gate carefully before preparing to return to the palace.

Just then, he heard a voice calling him.

It seemed to be a female voice, but after looking around, there was no woman.

Not far ahead, there was a beggar looking at him.

"Brother Zhou."

It turned out that the beggar was talking.

Are you calling me?I don't know any beggars?Why do you call me Big Brother Zhou?It seems that she is still a beggar.

"Are you calling me? This is the forbidden area of ​​the palace, don't come here to beg, or leave quickly."

"Brother Zhou, I'm not a beggar, I'm Lichun."

beginning of spring?Lichun next to Her Royal Highness?how is this possible?A promise of the seventh grade turned out to be a beggar?
The beggar straightened his hair, and Zhou Tong was shocked when he saw it.

Not Lichun, who else could it be?
"It's really Miss Lichun, you are back, where is Your Highness?"

Zhou Tong looked around, nowhere was Princess Chang'an, but Lichun was alone.

"Brother Zhou, take me to see the emperor."

"Okay, let's go, I'll take you there."
