Daiyu's life
Chapter 49
Jia's mother relaxed her control over Baoyu, and Baoyu became more comfortable. The family was in trouble, and Baochai and Baoyu became better and better.
Now Baochai doesn't come to Baoyu every day, but Baoyu always runs to Lixiangyuan, and Jiamu can only bear it even if she is depressed.
Baoyu said, "Why didn't my sister come over today?"
Baochai said, "You also know that Beijing is in chaos. My mother suffered from headaches again in the past two days. Don't worry too much. I'll help my mother keep watch."
Baoyu said, "My aunt is ill, why don't I know, I'll go and see my aunt right away."
Baochai grabbed Baoyu and said, "My mother is fine. It's just an old problem. She just took the medicine and fell asleep."
Baochai followed Baoyu's eyes and looked down, only to realize that she had held Baoyu's hand in a moment of anxiety, Baoyu was staring blankly at the two holding hands, Baochai's face seemed to be on fire, The flying one let go, and Baoyu came back to his senses and said, "Then I will wait for my aunt to wake up and go to see my aunt."
Baochai blushed and said, "Okay."
Baoyu couldn't help thinking back to Baochai's soft and boneless hand just now, secretly liking it in his heart, but at the same time thinking that it would be great if Sister Lin wasn't so unfamiliar with her, and could be like this. Baochai felt even more ashamed.
Baoyu liked it more and more. It wasn't until Aunt Xue woke up that the two were able to have a good conversation.
When Aunt Xue woke up, she didn't let Baoyu go back like this, but kept her meal.
Baoyu held a bowl of fresh ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup and drank it sweetly. He put down the bowl and smiled at Aunt Xue, "The bamboo shoots in Auntie's house are really fresh. Even the old lady's can't get such fresh things at home these days. It's the same as before. Sister Lin sent some side dishes from Sichuan, and the old lady ate more."
Aunt Xue laughed and said, "Your big brother Pan made this outside, and you will bring some back with you when you go back. If there is anything you want to eat, if you can't do it at home, you can come to auntie. Auntie let you eat it." Brother go out and find it for you."
Baoyu answered with a smile.
Baochai smiled and said, "Brother Bao, don't just drink the soup, you will be hungry again later, this water shield soup is also good, brother Bao, try it."
Baoyu ate nearly two bowls of round-grained rice with ham, fresh bamboo shoots, soup and water shield soup, and then went back to Jia Mu, who was leaning on the blue background and white peony palace brocade pillow with her eyes closed, and the old lady against the blue background and white flowers Her face turned pale, and when she saw Baoyu come back, Jia Mu smiled.
Jia's mother asked with a smile, "Where did you go to have a meal and come back? Your mother just said that you won't come back to eat, and didn't say anything else clearly."
Baoyu smiled in Jia Mu's arms and said, "I went to my aunt. My aunt had a headache. When I went, she was asleep. I woke up after a while. When it was time to eat, my aunt also left food. "
Mother Jia asked without changing her smile, "Is there anything delicious to eat? It's up to you."
Baoyu patted his head and said, "It's nothing delicious, but the ones from my aunt seem to be fresher than ours. My aunt also asked me to bring some fresh bamboo shoots back. We haven't had such fresh things in our house these days."
Mother Jia touched Baoyu's head, and sighed uncontrollably. At this time, Mother Jia thought of Jia Lian who had been away for many years. She was usually fine, but at this time, it was impossible for the family to have no man who could run errands. If Jia Lian was able to buy fresh things every day, so that Baoyu would not be so wronged, Jia's mother would have two thoughts of calling Jia Lian back, but Mother Jia is still hesitating. If Jia Lian comes back, Baoyu will not be the only young master in Rongguo Mansion. After all, Mother Jia is thinking about Baoyu's future, and giving Baoyu all the resources of Rongguo Mansion, so she just took this The thought of coming was suppressed, and Mother Jia didn't even think about whether Jia Lian and his wife would like to come back.
Jia Mu said, "If there is anything you want to eat, just tell your ancestors, and your ancestors will send Lai Da to buy it."
Baoyu shook his head and said, "There's nothing I want to eat." Jia's mother didn't feel relieved when Baoyu said this. After all, she ordered Lai Da to buy some expensive fresh fruits and vegetables for Baoyu to eat, and the money came from Jia's mother. The Rongguo Mansion has never been able to keep things in private, and within two hours of Mother Jia's order, everyone in the mansion knew what they needed to know.
Except for Aunt Zhao who cursed indignantly in her room, no one said anything. It's not a day or two since Jia's mother favored Baoyu. That's right, mother will also ask the big kitchen to make you a delicious meal."
Jia Lan shook her head sensiblely and said, "Mother, no, the food is pretty good now, and when I go to Aunt Lin's place, Uncle Xuan and Uncle Yu and I eat the same food, which is much better than what Mother eats."
Li Wan sighed and said, "When you are successful in the future, don't forget your Aunt Lin's family and Mr. An."
Jia Lan said, "I know, mother."
No matter how anxious outsiders are, the sage made arrangements without haste. The Beijing Camp Jiedu envoy was named the Northwest General and led the expedition. In early June, an army of 2 people suddenly appeared in Beiting and recaptured Beiting Pass. Eleven young generals sneaked into the Tartars and killed the leader and eight lieutenants of the enemy army.
Beijing has finally calmed down. The first thing the saint does after his victory is not to reward the three armies or hold a grand enthronement ceremony, but to bring back the emperor in Jinling. Only then did most people know that the emperor encountered refugees when he left Beijing in May. , are some refugees, but there are too many people, and the inner guards risked their lives to protect them. The emperor's life is safe, but the rest of this life can only be spent in bed.
No matter what outsiders think, the saint acted as a filial son and welcomed back the emperor who was paralyzed on the bed. To the relief of everyone in the court, the saint named Feng Nian from the general of the Northwest to the Marshal of the Northwest. The Yingjiedu envoy was replaced by his own people, the inner court was changed, and some of his own people were promoted in the court, but the emperor's people were not suppressed. The succession of the new king is inevitable, and everyone accepts it. Within the scope of the disease, even the sick and crazy emperor couldn't make a mistake.
Daiyu sister and brother don't know about the major events in the court, and Master Cai will not tell Haoxuan Haoyu about these things. Daiyu sister and brother received a letter of safety from Lin Ruhai. For Daiyu sister and brother, this is After everything was settled, I put the heart that I had been carrying back into my stomach.
The entire Beijing didn't fully return to normal until October. These days, the sage also made up a coronation ceremony. All the female relatives of the Rongning Second Mansion had to go to the palace to pay respects to the empress. Li Wan led the Sanchun sisters, and what made Daiyu sisters and brothers even more depressed was that Lin Ruhai didn't have to go back to Beijing, and he couldn't be interested in doing anything.
Daiyu comforted Haoyu with a smile and said, "Didn't daddy say that he will be transferred back to the capital after a while, and our family will be reunited then, it's better than daddy returning to Beijing in a hurry, seeing the last one and going back in a hurry .”
Hao Yu muffled, "I don't know when Daddy will be transferred back."
Hao Xuan said, "No more than three years at most."
Haoyu sighed very sadly, and asked Daiyu, "Sister, you said, let's go back and see if Daddy is okay."
Daiyu shook her head mercilessly and said, "No, Daddy is in a hurry when the sage is enthroned, and any of us will add trouble to Daddy when we go back."
Seeing that Haoyu was still unhappy, Daiyu said, "Master Cai gave you a day off after all, go out for a walk, didn't Haoyu say a few days ago that he wanted to eat donkey meat from the east of the city?"
Only then did Haoyu become happy, and followed Haoxuan to pack up and lead the nursing home to leave.
The cooks at home are all good, but Haoyu still likes to eat snacks everywhere. This donkey meat fire is his favorite kind, but it happens to be in the east of the city. When he seldom passes by, he bought it back. How does Haoyu eat it? It doesn't taste like that, Daiyu let him out today, which proves that he can open his stomach and eat casually on this day.
Haoxuan looked at Haoyu's big mouthful of burning fire, fearing that he would choke, quickly handed over the mutton soup in his hand, and said, "Eat slowly, my sister asked you to come out, I won't stop you from eating as much as you want today." you."
Haoyu swallowed what he had in his mouth and said, "Unfortunately, now is not the time to eat edamame, otherwise I can still eat some edamame."
Haoxuan rubbed Haoyu's head and said, "It's okay, Brother Zi will take you to eat your belly in a while, and I'm bringing back some for my sister."
Haoyu's Danfeng eyes narrowed and he smiled like a little fox, and there was a little bit of evil in it. Haoxuan just knocked Haoyu's hand after seeing it, but didn't say anything about him.
Brothers Haoxuan and Haoyu were walking slowly on the street, picking out some interesting things for Daiyu, and it was also for Haoyu to digest. Zheng Yiran looked at the Lin brothers in front of him and showed a sincere smile, and called out, "Haoyu! Xuan Haoyu."
Hao Yu was very excited and rushed to Zheng Yiran, and asked, "Brother Zheng, why are you back? Aren't you appointed as a general to lead the army in the northwest?"
Zheng Yiran was the young general who invaded the enemy army and assassinated the first and eighth lieutenants of the enemy army. In addition to his credit for risking his life to go to Beijing to report the letter, the saint generously named him a third-rank general, and now he works under Feng Nian Feng Marshal.
Zheng Yiran smiled and said, "Some time ago, the Marshal led his troops to attack the Tartars on their own initiative and ransacked the nests of two small tribes. I was escorting things to Beijing. I thought I would go find you tomorrow, but who would have thought that I would meet you today?" up."
Haoxuan said, "Brother Zheng, is there anything else going on right now, if we don't have something to eat together." Zheng Yiran's suppressed feeling between his brows has dissipated a bit this time when he returned to Beijing, his face is still paralyzed, but he won't let You have a shadowy feeling.
Zheng Yiran smiled and said, "Okay, I'm not familiar with this capital. You two choose a place, and I'll treat you."
Haoyu was counting what to eat with his fingers, Zheng Yiran's face became more gentle, and he said with a smile, "I'll stay in Beijing for a while, and I'll go find you guys tomorrow."
Hao Yu happily said, "Then when we come out from Master's house tomorrow, wouldn't we be able to have another meal?"
Hao Xuan said helplessly, "If you let my sister know about you like this, don't expect to come out again."
Zheng Yiran didn't ride the horse either, but had someone move the horse back and walked slowly with the Lin family brothers.
The last time we met in a hurry and didn't say anything, now Zi Haoyu pestered Zheng Yiran to tell him about the Northwest. Zheng Yiran was very grateful to the Lin family siblings, and was not at all impatient with Haoyu's request , Pick something interesting and tell him.
Zheng Yiran smiled and said, "there is a lot of beef and mutton over there, and it doesn't have the smell of mutton over here, but Anle is so happy that he can't wait to eat it every day. In less than half a month, his mouth is so swollen that he can't talk. In the future, the mutton will be slightly swollen. If you eat a little too much, your mouth must be swollen and you cannot eat."
Haoyu smiled very happily, "Then An Le can only be watched, not eaten."
Zheng Yiran nodded with a smile, and Hao Yu became more and more happy when he smiled. Even Hao Xuan couldn't stand the look of gloating, so he knocked him on the head and said, "Be careful, or you can go home later." Let my sister punish you."
Haoyu rubbed his head indifferently, and then pestered Zheng Yiran to tell him about the northwest.
The three of them walked into a roast duck restaurant talking and laughing. The roast duck was already very famous at this time, but it was too greasy, and Haoxuan Haoyu seldom ate it. here.
Zheng Yiran slightly sighed and said, "When I was in Beijing, An Le always wanted to come here, but at that time, if I had to live for half a year, I would not be able to live well."
Haoxuan picked up the wine glass and gave Zheng Yiran a slight respect, Zheng Yiran raised his head and drank it down.
Haoyu said, "Brother Zheng is promising now, let's see what else they can say."
Zheng Yiran shook his head and said, "After all, I was only awarded for meritorious service, and I have no foundation at all. The people under my command are not bad, but this officialdom is still far behind. The Hou Mansion has been handed down for a hundred years, and there is only one general like me missing."
Hao Xuan said, "Brother Zheng has built his own meritorious service, which is much better than those who rely on their ancestral business."
Zheng Yiran touched his wine glass and smiled, "That's fine, everyone in Beijing knows that I don't get along with my family, so I won't be dragged down by them if anything happens in the future."
Hao Xuan paused for a while and did not speak, but Zheng Yiran asked with a smile, "The bottle of bear oil you gave me last time was obtained there, and it will be very useful in the Northwest."
Haoxuan said indifferently, "At the beginning, my mother was not in good health, so I had to use good wild ginseng. The family set up two Zhuangzi in the northeast, and they were sent by the Zhuangtou. There are still some good ones at home. Brother Zheng, it would be good to use them. , and send them to Brother Zheng tomorrow."
Zheng Yiran was not polite, and accepted it directly with a smile.
The three of them were talking when they heard a commotion next door, and one of them said loudly, "What kind of thing is his Liu family? He dared to force things against my family at that time. What, it's all gone now."
Some people tried to persuade him, Hao Yu wondered, "Why did I hear my second cousin's voice?"
Haoxuan was also curious, so he called the waiter from the shop and asked about it with two broken pieces of silver. It was true that there was precious jade in it, and Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan, the son of General Feng's family, were all there when Xue Pan invited guests.
Hao Yu said, "Brother, we should be more careful when we leave, I don't want to get involved with them."
Zheng Yiran asked with a smile, "Why do you live in Rongguo Mansion so that you are so unfamiliar with their second master?"
Haoyu couldn't help but said, "Brother Zheng, you don't know, but my second cousin was born with a good skin, and he can be regarded as a smart person, but he was raised by my grandmother like a girl. Didn't he want to be a girl all day long?" Rouge, just wanted to eat the rouge on the girl's mouth. Grandmother coaxed him like a child, and didn't look at how old he was. She said that scholars are all thieves who look down on officialdom. Isn't he also eating thieves? If he is really capable, he will go to Shoufu to rectify the officialdom. He plays at home every day, like an uncle. It is annoying. It makes Wang Sifu and Chen Siji follow his sister every day. I haven't seen him write a word for ten days and a half months, but because of his jade, he said he is a good-natured person, but he is not a good-natured person, and such a big thing didn't choke him to death."
Haoxuan felt his hands were itchy again, and really wanted to give him a hard knock, Zheng Yiran said, "It's fine with me, but don't say it outside."
Haoyu smiled triumphantly and said, "I told Brother Zheng, if outsiders know about it, it must be Brother Zheng who spread the word, so I'm not afraid."
Haoxuan helplessly rolled two duck meat rolls for Haoyu, and said, "Eat it as you please."
Haoyu hummed and ate, Zheng Yiran thought for a while and said in a low voice, "A few days ago, the sage sent two thousand elite soldiers from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River. It seems that Master Lin has some of them, and I personally picked them." , are reliable."
Haoxuan's eyes lit up, and Zheng Yiran's ability to say this meant that he must have believed it. The worst thing for the Lin family siblings since the fifth prince ascended the throne is that Lin Ruhai now has two channels for sending memorials, both open and dark. It was sent directly to the palace. When it was not like before, you can bring some letters from home. Now that you write too many letters, you dare not say anything. You can only write ordinary safety letters. The Lin family siblings have not known the details of Lin Ruhai for a long time. The situation is gone.
Hao Xuan said, "Thank you Brother Zheng."
Zheng Yiran shook his head and said, "My life was saved by you, if you thank me, what do you want me to do."
Haoxuan also stopped talking, he and Zheng Yiran had a tacit understanding of their friendship, and there was no need to say a lot of things.
When Zheng Yiran and the others left, Baoyu could still hear singing. Zheng Yiran shook his head and sent the Lin brothers back without saying anything.
Daiyu looked at the two brothers and frowned and said, "It's not that I went to eat snacks, why did I drink wine?"
Hao Yu happily said, "Sister, Brother Zheng has returned to Beijing, you know. My brother and I met Brother Zheng on the road, and we ate roast duck together. I heard Brother Zheng talk about the war in the Northwest."
Daiyu said, "I know."
Haoxuan's hands stopped for a moment, then he wiped his face and listened to Daiyu Haoyu's words, Haoyu said, "Sister, how do you know."
Daiyu said, "Not long after you left today, someone came to our house and gave us a lot of things, all of which are special products from the northwest. Stuff guy is still holding his post."
Hao Yu excitedly said, "Sister, do you know that when Brother Zheng went to assassinate the leader of the Tartars, he lay there for three days before finding the opportunity, and then he killed the eight lieutenants while they were in a mess." Hao Yu While talking, he gestured with his hands.
Daiyu sighed, and originally wanted to keep the two younger brothers away from this person, but the result was good, he became a hero, even Lin Ruhai would not agree that the Lin family alienated such an upstart who had good intentions towards the Lin family for no reason Potential stocks.
Daiyu is simply out of sight and out of mind, Zheng Yiran is going to leave anyway, Haoxuanhaoyu will not leave Beijing for several years.
Haoxuan said, "Sister, brother Zheng is a talent that can be made, and if he has the opportunity to achieve success in the future, he will not be inferior to Marshal Feng."
Daiyu rubbed Haoxuan's head, and said, "Sister is not opposed to your association, it's just that military officers are different from civilian officials, and they are a bit more dangerous. There are only four of us in our Lin family."
Hao Xuan said with a smile, "Sister, I know that I won't let my younger brother have an accident with me."
Daiyu could only sigh and nod, if Haoyu said this, Daiyu could still give him two chestnuts, and Daiyu could only acquiesce to what Haoxuan said.
In order to change her mood, Daiyu said with a smile, "Among the things that Mr. Zheng Sangong sent today, there are three Tartar scimitars. They are a bit fancy but very sharp." Daiyu asked someone to take the things out.
The scimitar is not big, and the biggest one is only the size of Daiyu's palm. If you don't pay attention, you may think it is for decoration. Haoyu pulled out the scimitar and Daiyu put a hair on it. The hair broke immediately, Haoyu The mouth can be opened enough to stuff an egg.
Daiyu kept the youngest one by her side to play with, and gave the remaining two to Haoxuan. Haoyu watched helplessly as Haoxuan asked people to put away the scimitar. Daiyu thought of Xichun's little white Dog Maomao laughed unkindly.
Hao Yu said with some resentment, "Sister, when we were having dinner today, my second cousin and Mr. Xue's family were next door, how could my grandmother let my second cousin go out?"
Daiyu frowned slightly, and immediately let go and said, "The old lady and the others have all entered the palace, and the elder sister-in-law is left to look after the house. Did the second cousin listen to persuasion?"
Hao Yu said, "Then Uncle Xue is a rough person at first glance, and the second cousin was raised like a girl, why did he get mixed up with him?"
Haoxuan said, "That's also the second cousin of the first cousin, even if you don't like the second cousin, if you don't contact him, you can say you don't know him."
Daiyu grabbed Hao Yu and said, "Even if you don't like Second Cousin, you are not allowed to speak ill of Second Cousin in front of outsiders, do you hear me?" Hao Yu hurriedly agreed for his own ears.
In fact, Daiyu is also curious about what Mrs. Wang thinks. Baochai is a good person, and Baoyu also likes her sisters to get in touch with her.
Compared with the relaxed atmosphere of the Lin family siblings, Zheng Yiran's place was a bit dull. They had a special place to live when they went to Beijing to deliver the spoils. Zheng Yiran didn't go back to Chengyanghou Mansion, and he couldn't go back until the handover was clear. It stands to reason that yesterday The handover with the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War is clear, and they can go home today. As a result, Zheng Yiran still lives outside, but someone sent a greeting card to Chengyang Hou's Mansion, saying that he will meet tomorrow.
After separating from Haoxuan Haoyu, the personal guards came over and told, "Marquis Chengyang has been waiting at your lord's residence for an hour and a half."
Zheng Yiran asked indifferently, "We are still waiting now."
Qin Wei said, "Yes."
Zheng Yiran smiled, and wondered boredly whether it was half an hour since he had the memory of all the conversations with Zheng Ming, Marquis of Chengyang. All the way back to his residence, what Zheng Yiran wanted to say to him was not more than half an hour. A hundred sentences, it's a great irony to wait for him in this empty yard for so long.
Chengyanghou waited for Zheng Yiran for two full hours, and seeing Zheng Yiran walk in unhurriedly, Chengyanghou said angrily, "You bastard, don't you know how to go home after returning to Beijing? Who are you waiting for here?" Please go back."
Zheng Yiran looked at Chengyanghou indifferently, and did not answer his words. After a while, Chengyanghou couldn't stand it anymore. Zheng Yiran's military achievements were achieved by fighting with swords and swords on the battlefield. The look in Chengyanghou's eyes was like looking at something, without any emotion, and there was a wave of hostility on his body, which made Chengyanghou feel that he might as well be a dead person.
Chengyang Hou sat down by himself, wiped the sweat from his brow, softened up after a while and said, "How did you go to the northwest, and you didn't tell your family when you went."
Zheng Yiran touched the beads in his hand, and said lightly, "Grandma passed away for more than two years."
Zheng Ming suddenly got stuck. Mrs. Liu was also his serious mother-in-law. Even though the two families didn't have much contact, the Liu family couldn't get on the stage. It was enough that the mother-in-law passed away without knowing for two years.
Zheng Ming said harshly, "Why didn't your uncle's family send you the obituary when your grandmother passed away?
Zheng Yiran didn't even look at Zheng Ming, and said, "My uncle's family sent a total of six letters to Beijing."
Zheng Ming's face turned as bright as a pig's liver, Zheng resolutely shook his head and said, "Father, please go back, I will visit the house on time tomorrow."
Zheng Ming turned purple and left. Zheng Yiran sat motionless for two hours before going to bed.
Zheng Yiran went directly to Chengyang Hou Mansion with six soldiers. In the front yard, Zheng Houye, the second master, the second master, the third master, the second master, the second master, the second master, the third master, the third master, the second master, Zheng Jiayi Gao The family members of seniority are all waiting there. In the backyard, Mrs. Zheng, the Zheng family has three wives and three bedrooms, a total of four grandmothers, younger brothers and sisters of a certain age are all sitting with the old lady.The whole Zheng family has all kinds of strange thoughts about Zheng Yiran's return. Some want to rely on him to do things, some want him to die outside, and some don't care.
Everyone in the Zheng family watched Zheng Yiran walk in with a cold face, full of evil spirits all over his body. The second master of the third room is 12 years old this year, and he felt his calf spinning, and hid directly behind the third master Zheng.
Zheng Yiran didn't even look at these people, but he was quite respectful to the elders in the clan.
Zheng Ming couldn't get off the stage, his complexion was not very good, Zheng Yiran said directly, "I'm bothering the elders today, I will explain everything to the old lady in a while, I can't write two Zheng characters in one stroke, Cheng An Have your own measure." Marshal Feng gave Zheng Yiran the word Cheng'an.
An old man from Zheng Yiran's great-grandfather smiled and said, "That's right, it's all because of a deep hatred in the family. At the beginning, it was a misunderstanding, and those servants who didn't do their duty were all sent out. The family is still alive." It's good to be peaceful."
Zheng Yiran nodded in agreement, and sent off several clan elders. Zheng Yiran didn't say much to the men of the Zheng family. Zheng Ming led the people to Mrs. Zheng's Yongshou Hall. Among them was Zheng Yiran's eldest brother and second brother Zheng Yifang Zheng Yifeng's mood is the most complicated. More than half of the reason for the tragedy between Zheng Yiran and his mother is because of their three brothers and sisters. However, they have not had any enmity yet. It is not true that promising brothers are close, and it is not true that they are not close.
The author has something to say: I can’t reply to the message in jj’s new round of big draw Fifty chapters have been updated 3000+ oh hehe
Now Baochai doesn't come to Baoyu every day, but Baoyu always runs to Lixiangyuan, and Jiamu can only bear it even if she is depressed.
Baoyu said, "Why didn't my sister come over today?"
Baochai said, "You also know that Beijing is in chaos. My mother suffered from headaches again in the past two days. Don't worry too much. I'll help my mother keep watch."
Baoyu said, "My aunt is ill, why don't I know, I'll go and see my aunt right away."
Baochai grabbed Baoyu and said, "My mother is fine. It's just an old problem. She just took the medicine and fell asleep."
Baochai followed Baoyu's eyes and looked down, only to realize that she had held Baoyu's hand in a moment of anxiety, Baoyu was staring blankly at the two holding hands, Baochai's face seemed to be on fire, The flying one let go, and Baoyu came back to his senses and said, "Then I will wait for my aunt to wake up and go to see my aunt."
Baochai blushed and said, "Okay."
Baoyu couldn't help thinking back to Baochai's soft and boneless hand just now, secretly liking it in his heart, but at the same time thinking that it would be great if Sister Lin wasn't so unfamiliar with her, and could be like this. Baochai felt even more ashamed.
Baoyu liked it more and more. It wasn't until Aunt Xue woke up that the two were able to have a good conversation.
When Aunt Xue woke up, she didn't let Baoyu go back like this, but kept her meal.
Baoyu held a bowl of fresh ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup and drank it sweetly. He put down the bowl and smiled at Aunt Xue, "The bamboo shoots in Auntie's house are really fresh. Even the old lady's can't get such fresh things at home these days. It's the same as before. Sister Lin sent some side dishes from Sichuan, and the old lady ate more."
Aunt Xue laughed and said, "Your big brother Pan made this outside, and you will bring some back with you when you go back. If there is anything you want to eat, if you can't do it at home, you can come to auntie. Auntie let you eat it." Brother go out and find it for you."
Baoyu answered with a smile.
Baochai smiled and said, "Brother Bao, don't just drink the soup, you will be hungry again later, this water shield soup is also good, brother Bao, try it."
Baoyu ate nearly two bowls of round-grained rice with ham, fresh bamboo shoots, soup and water shield soup, and then went back to Jia Mu, who was leaning on the blue background and white peony palace brocade pillow with her eyes closed, and the old lady against the blue background and white flowers Her face turned pale, and when she saw Baoyu come back, Jia Mu smiled.
Jia's mother asked with a smile, "Where did you go to have a meal and come back? Your mother just said that you won't come back to eat, and didn't say anything else clearly."
Baoyu smiled in Jia Mu's arms and said, "I went to my aunt. My aunt had a headache. When I went, she was asleep. I woke up after a while. When it was time to eat, my aunt also left food. "
Mother Jia asked without changing her smile, "Is there anything delicious to eat? It's up to you."
Baoyu patted his head and said, "It's nothing delicious, but the ones from my aunt seem to be fresher than ours. My aunt also asked me to bring some fresh bamboo shoots back. We haven't had such fresh things in our house these days."
Mother Jia touched Baoyu's head, and sighed uncontrollably. At this time, Mother Jia thought of Jia Lian who had been away for many years. She was usually fine, but at this time, it was impossible for the family to have no man who could run errands. If Jia Lian was able to buy fresh things every day, so that Baoyu would not be so wronged, Jia's mother would have two thoughts of calling Jia Lian back, but Mother Jia is still hesitating. If Jia Lian comes back, Baoyu will not be the only young master in Rongguo Mansion. After all, Mother Jia is thinking about Baoyu's future, and giving Baoyu all the resources of Rongguo Mansion, so she just took this The thought of coming was suppressed, and Mother Jia didn't even think about whether Jia Lian and his wife would like to come back.
Jia Mu said, "If there is anything you want to eat, just tell your ancestors, and your ancestors will send Lai Da to buy it."
Baoyu shook his head and said, "There's nothing I want to eat." Jia's mother didn't feel relieved when Baoyu said this. After all, she ordered Lai Da to buy some expensive fresh fruits and vegetables for Baoyu to eat, and the money came from Jia's mother. The Rongguo Mansion has never been able to keep things in private, and within two hours of Mother Jia's order, everyone in the mansion knew what they needed to know.
Except for Aunt Zhao who cursed indignantly in her room, no one said anything. It's not a day or two since Jia's mother favored Baoyu. That's right, mother will also ask the big kitchen to make you a delicious meal."
Jia Lan shook her head sensiblely and said, "Mother, no, the food is pretty good now, and when I go to Aunt Lin's place, Uncle Xuan and Uncle Yu and I eat the same food, which is much better than what Mother eats."
Li Wan sighed and said, "When you are successful in the future, don't forget your Aunt Lin's family and Mr. An."
Jia Lan said, "I know, mother."
No matter how anxious outsiders are, the sage made arrangements without haste. The Beijing Camp Jiedu envoy was named the Northwest General and led the expedition. In early June, an army of 2 people suddenly appeared in Beiting and recaptured Beiting Pass. Eleven young generals sneaked into the Tartars and killed the leader and eight lieutenants of the enemy army.
Beijing has finally calmed down. The first thing the saint does after his victory is not to reward the three armies or hold a grand enthronement ceremony, but to bring back the emperor in Jinling. Only then did most people know that the emperor encountered refugees when he left Beijing in May. , are some refugees, but there are too many people, and the inner guards risked their lives to protect them. The emperor's life is safe, but the rest of this life can only be spent in bed.
No matter what outsiders think, the saint acted as a filial son and welcomed back the emperor who was paralyzed on the bed. To the relief of everyone in the court, the saint named Feng Nian from the general of the Northwest to the Marshal of the Northwest. The Yingjiedu envoy was replaced by his own people, the inner court was changed, and some of his own people were promoted in the court, but the emperor's people were not suppressed. The succession of the new king is inevitable, and everyone accepts it. Within the scope of the disease, even the sick and crazy emperor couldn't make a mistake.
Daiyu sister and brother don't know about the major events in the court, and Master Cai will not tell Haoxuan Haoyu about these things. Daiyu sister and brother received a letter of safety from Lin Ruhai. For Daiyu sister and brother, this is After everything was settled, I put the heart that I had been carrying back into my stomach.
The entire Beijing didn't fully return to normal until October. These days, the sage also made up a coronation ceremony. All the female relatives of the Rongning Second Mansion had to go to the palace to pay respects to the empress. Li Wan led the Sanchun sisters, and what made Daiyu sisters and brothers even more depressed was that Lin Ruhai didn't have to go back to Beijing, and he couldn't be interested in doing anything.
Daiyu comforted Haoyu with a smile and said, "Didn't daddy say that he will be transferred back to the capital after a while, and our family will be reunited then, it's better than daddy returning to Beijing in a hurry, seeing the last one and going back in a hurry .”
Hao Yu muffled, "I don't know when Daddy will be transferred back."
Hao Xuan said, "No more than three years at most."
Haoyu sighed very sadly, and asked Daiyu, "Sister, you said, let's go back and see if Daddy is okay."
Daiyu shook her head mercilessly and said, "No, Daddy is in a hurry when the sage is enthroned, and any of us will add trouble to Daddy when we go back."
Seeing that Haoyu was still unhappy, Daiyu said, "Master Cai gave you a day off after all, go out for a walk, didn't Haoyu say a few days ago that he wanted to eat donkey meat from the east of the city?"
Only then did Haoyu become happy, and followed Haoxuan to pack up and lead the nursing home to leave.
The cooks at home are all good, but Haoyu still likes to eat snacks everywhere. This donkey meat fire is his favorite kind, but it happens to be in the east of the city. When he seldom passes by, he bought it back. How does Haoyu eat it? It doesn't taste like that, Daiyu let him out today, which proves that he can open his stomach and eat casually on this day.
Haoxuan looked at Haoyu's big mouthful of burning fire, fearing that he would choke, quickly handed over the mutton soup in his hand, and said, "Eat slowly, my sister asked you to come out, I won't stop you from eating as much as you want today." you."
Haoyu swallowed what he had in his mouth and said, "Unfortunately, now is not the time to eat edamame, otherwise I can still eat some edamame."
Haoxuan rubbed Haoyu's head and said, "It's okay, Brother Zi will take you to eat your belly in a while, and I'm bringing back some for my sister."
Haoyu's Danfeng eyes narrowed and he smiled like a little fox, and there was a little bit of evil in it. Haoxuan just knocked Haoyu's hand after seeing it, but didn't say anything about him.
Brothers Haoxuan and Haoyu were walking slowly on the street, picking out some interesting things for Daiyu, and it was also for Haoyu to digest. Zheng Yiran looked at the Lin brothers in front of him and showed a sincere smile, and called out, "Haoyu! Xuan Haoyu."
Hao Yu was very excited and rushed to Zheng Yiran, and asked, "Brother Zheng, why are you back? Aren't you appointed as a general to lead the army in the northwest?"
Zheng Yiran was the young general who invaded the enemy army and assassinated the first and eighth lieutenants of the enemy army. In addition to his credit for risking his life to go to Beijing to report the letter, the saint generously named him a third-rank general, and now he works under Feng Nian Feng Marshal.
Zheng Yiran smiled and said, "Some time ago, the Marshal led his troops to attack the Tartars on their own initiative and ransacked the nests of two small tribes. I was escorting things to Beijing. I thought I would go find you tomorrow, but who would have thought that I would meet you today?" up."
Haoxuan said, "Brother Zheng, is there anything else going on right now, if we don't have something to eat together." Zheng Yiran's suppressed feeling between his brows has dissipated a bit this time when he returned to Beijing, his face is still paralyzed, but he won't let You have a shadowy feeling.
Zheng Yiran smiled and said, "Okay, I'm not familiar with this capital. You two choose a place, and I'll treat you."
Haoyu was counting what to eat with his fingers, Zheng Yiran's face became more gentle, and he said with a smile, "I'll stay in Beijing for a while, and I'll go find you guys tomorrow."
Hao Yu happily said, "Then when we come out from Master's house tomorrow, wouldn't we be able to have another meal?"
Hao Xuan said helplessly, "If you let my sister know about you like this, don't expect to come out again."
Zheng Yiran didn't ride the horse either, but had someone move the horse back and walked slowly with the Lin family brothers.
The last time we met in a hurry and didn't say anything, now Zi Haoyu pestered Zheng Yiran to tell him about the Northwest. Zheng Yiran was very grateful to the Lin family siblings, and was not at all impatient with Haoyu's request , Pick something interesting and tell him.
Zheng Yiran smiled and said, "there is a lot of beef and mutton over there, and it doesn't have the smell of mutton over here, but Anle is so happy that he can't wait to eat it every day. In less than half a month, his mouth is so swollen that he can't talk. In the future, the mutton will be slightly swollen. If you eat a little too much, your mouth must be swollen and you cannot eat."
Haoyu smiled very happily, "Then An Le can only be watched, not eaten."
Zheng Yiran nodded with a smile, and Hao Yu became more and more happy when he smiled. Even Hao Xuan couldn't stand the look of gloating, so he knocked him on the head and said, "Be careful, or you can go home later." Let my sister punish you."
Haoyu rubbed his head indifferently, and then pestered Zheng Yiran to tell him about the northwest.
The three of them walked into a roast duck restaurant talking and laughing. The roast duck was already very famous at this time, but it was too greasy, and Haoxuan Haoyu seldom ate it. here.
Zheng Yiran slightly sighed and said, "When I was in Beijing, An Le always wanted to come here, but at that time, if I had to live for half a year, I would not be able to live well."
Haoxuan picked up the wine glass and gave Zheng Yiran a slight respect, Zheng Yiran raised his head and drank it down.
Haoyu said, "Brother Zheng is promising now, let's see what else they can say."
Zheng Yiran shook his head and said, "After all, I was only awarded for meritorious service, and I have no foundation at all. The people under my command are not bad, but this officialdom is still far behind. The Hou Mansion has been handed down for a hundred years, and there is only one general like me missing."
Hao Xuan said, "Brother Zheng has built his own meritorious service, which is much better than those who rely on their ancestral business."
Zheng Yiran touched his wine glass and smiled, "That's fine, everyone in Beijing knows that I don't get along with my family, so I won't be dragged down by them if anything happens in the future."
Hao Xuan paused for a while and did not speak, but Zheng Yiran asked with a smile, "The bottle of bear oil you gave me last time was obtained there, and it will be very useful in the Northwest."
Haoxuan said indifferently, "At the beginning, my mother was not in good health, so I had to use good wild ginseng. The family set up two Zhuangzi in the northeast, and they were sent by the Zhuangtou. There are still some good ones at home. Brother Zheng, it would be good to use them. , and send them to Brother Zheng tomorrow."
Zheng Yiran was not polite, and accepted it directly with a smile.
The three of them were talking when they heard a commotion next door, and one of them said loudly, "What kind of thing is his Liu family? He dared to force things against my family at that time. What, it's all gone now."
Some people tried to persuade him, Hao Yu wondered, "Why did I hear my second cousin's voice?"
Haoxuan was also curious, so he called the waiter from the shop and asked about it with two broken pieces of silver. It was true that there was precious jade in it, and Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan, the son of General Feng's family, were all there when Xue Pan invited guests.
Hao Yu said, "Brother, we should be more careful when we leave, I don't want to get involved with them."
Zheng Yiran asked with a smile, "Why do you live in Rongguo Mansion so that you are so unfamiliar with their second master?"
Haoyu couldn't help but said, "Brother Zheng, you don't know, but my second cousin was born with a good skin, and he can be regarded as a smart person, but he was raised by my grandmother like a girl. Didn't he want to be a girl all day long?" Rouge, just wanted to eat the rouge on the girl's mouth. Grandmother coaxed him like a child, and didn't look at how old he was. She said that scholars are all thieves who look down on officialdom. Isn't he also eating thieves? If he is really capable, he will go to Shoufu to rectify the officialdom. He plays at home every day, like an uncle. It is annoying. It makes Wang Sifu and Chen Siji follow his sister every day. I haven't seen him write a word for ten days and a half months, but because of his jade, he said he is a good-natured person, but he is not a good-natured person, and such a big thing didn't choke him to death."
Haoxuan felt his hands were itchy again, and really wanted to give him a hard knock, Zheng Yiran said, "It's fine with me, but don't say it outside."
Haoyu smiled triumphantly and said, "I told Brother Zheng, if outsiders know about it, it must be Brother Zheng who spread the word, so I'm not afraid."
Haoxuan helplessly rolled two duck meat rolls for Haoyu, and said, "Eat it as you please."
Haoyu hummed and ate, Zheng Yiran thought for a while and said in a low voice, "A few days ago, the sage sent two thousand elite soldiers from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River. It seems that Master Lin has some of them, and I personally picked them." , are reliable."
Haoxuan's eyes lit up, and Zheng Yiran's ability to say this meant that he must have believed it. The worst thing for the Lin family siblings since the fifth prince ascended the throne is that Lin Ruhai now has two channels for sending memorials, both open and dark. It was sent directly to the palace. When it was not like before, you can bring some letters from home. Now that you write too many letters, you dare not say anything. You can only write ordinary safety letters. The Lin family siblings have not known the details of Lin Ruhai for a long time. The situation is gone.
Hao Xuan said, "Thank you Brother Zheng."
Zheng Yiran shook his head and said, "My life was saved by you, if you thank me, what do you want me to do."
Haoxuan also stopped talking, he and Zheng Yiran had a tacit understanding of their friendship, and there was no need to say a lot of things.
When Zheng Yiran and the others left, Baoyu could still hear singing. Zheng Yiran shook his head and sent the Lin brothers back without saying anything.
Daiyu looked at the two brothers and frowned and said, "It's not that I went to eat snacks, why did I drink wine?"
Hao Yu happily said, "Sister, Brother Zheng has returned to Beijing, you know. My brother and I met Brother Zheng on the road, and we ate roast duck together. I heard Brother Zheng talk about the war in the Northwest."
Daiyu said, "I know."
Haoxuan's hands stopped for a moment, then he wiped his face and listened to Daiyu Haoyu's words, Haoyu said, "Sister, how do you know."
Daiyu said, "Not long after you left today, someone came to our house and gave us a lot of things, all of which are special products from the northwest. Stuff guy is still holding his post."
Hao Yu excitedly said, "Sister, do you know that when Brother Zheng went to assassinate the leader of the Tartars, he lay there for three days before finding the opportunity, and then he killed the eight lieutenants while they were in a mess." Hao Yu While talking, he gestured with his hands.
Daiyu sighed, and originally wanted to keep the two younger brothers away from this person, but the result was good, he became a hero, even Lin Ruhai would not agree that the Lin family alienated such an upstart who had good intentions towards the Lin family for no reason Potential stocks.
Daiyu is simply out of sight and out of mind, Zheng Yiran is going to leave anyway, Haoxuanhaoyu will not leave Beijing for several years.
Haoxuan said, "Sister, brother Zheng is a talent that can be made, and if he has the opportunity to achieve success in the future, he will not be inferior to Marshal Feng."
Daiyu rubbed Haoxuan's head, and said, "Sister is not opposed to your association, it's just that military officers are different from civilian officials, and they are a bit more dangerous. There are only four of us in our Lin family."
Hao Xuan said with a smile, "Sister, I know that I won't let my younger brother have an accident with me."
Daiyu could only sigh and nod, if Haoyu said this, Daiyu could still give him two chestnuts, and Daiyu could only acquiesce to what Haoxuan said.
In order to change her mood, Daiyu said with a smile, "Among the things that Mr. Zheng Sangong sent today, there are three Tartar scimitars. They are a bit fancy but very sharp." Daiyu asked someone to take the things out.
The scimitar is not big, and the biggest one is only the size of Daiyu's palm. If you don't pay attention, you may think it is for decoration. Haoyu pulled out the scimitar and Daiyu put a hair on it. The hair broke immediately, Haoyu The mouth can be opened enough to stuff an egg.
Daiyu kept the youngest one by her side to play with, and gave the remaining two to Haoxuan. Haoyu watched helplessly as Haoxuan asked people to put away the scimitar. Daiyu thought of Xichun's little white Dog Maomao laughed unkindly.
Hao Yu said with some resentment, "Sister, when we were having dinner today, my second cousin and Mr. Xue's family were next door, how could my grandmother let my second cousin go out?"
Daiyu frowned slightly, and immediately let go and said, "The old lady and the others have all entered the palace, and the elder sister-in-law is left to look after the house. Did the second cousin listen to persuasion?"
Hao Yu said, "Then Uncle Xue is a rough person at first glance, and the second cousin was raised like a girl, why did he get mixed up with him?"
Haoxuan said, "That's also the second cousin of the first cousin, even if you don't like the second cousin, if you don't contact him, you can say you don't know him."
Daiyu grabbed Hao Yu and said, "Even if you don't like Second Cousin, you are not allowed to speak ill of Second Cousin in front of outsiders, do you hear me?" Hao Yu hurriedly agreed for his own ears.
In fact, Daiyu is also curious about what Mrs. Wang thinks. Baochai is a good person, and Baoyu also likes her sisters to get in touch with her.
Compared with the relaxed atmosphere of the Lin family siblings, Zheng Yiran's place was a bit dull. They had a special place to live when they went to Beijing to deliver the spoils. Zheng Yiran didn't go back to Chengyanghou Mansion, and he couldn't go back until the handover was clear. It stands to reason that yesterday The handover with the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War is clear, and they can go home today. As a result, Zheng Yiran still lives outside, but someone sent a greeting card to Chengyang Hou's Mansion, saying that he will meet tomorrow.
After separating from Haoxuan Haoyu, the personal guards came over and told, "Marquis Chengyang has been waiting at your lord's residence for an hour and a half."
Zheng Yiran asked indifferently, "We are still waiting now."
Qin Wei said, "Yes."
Zheng Yiran smiled, and wondered boredly whether it was half an hour since he had the memory of all the conversations with Zheng Ming, Marquis of Chengyang. All the way back to his residence, what Zheng Yiran wanted to say to him was not more than half an hour. A hundred sentences, it's a great irony to wait for him in this empty yard for so long.
Chengyanghou waited for Zheng Yiran for two full hours, and seeing Zheng Yiran walk in unhurriedly, Chengyanghou said angrily, "You bastard, don't you know how to go home after returning to Beijing? Who are you waiting for here?" Please go back."
Zheng Yiran looked at Chengyanghou indifferently, and did not answer his words. After a while, Chengyanghou couldn't stand it anymore. Zheng Yiran's military achievements were achieved by fighting with swords and swords on the battlefield. The look in Chengyanghou's eyes was like looking at something, without any emotion, and there was a wave of hostility on his body, which made Chengyanghou feel that he might as well be a dead person.
Chengyang Hou sat down by himself, wiped the sweat from his brow, softened up after a while and said, "How did you go to the northwest, and you didn't tell your family when you went."
Zheng Yiran touched the beads in his hand, and said lightly, "Grandma passed away for more than two years."
Zheng Ming suddenly got stuck. Mrs. Liu was also his serious mother-in-law. Even though the two families didn't have much contact, the Liu family couldn't get on the stage. It was enough that the mother-in-law passed away without knowing for two years.
Zheng Ming said harshly, "Why didn't your uncle's family send you the obituary when your grandmother passed away?
Zheng Yiran didn't even look at Zheng Ming, and said, "My uncle's family sent a total of six letters to Beijing."
Zheng Ming's face turned as bright as a pig's liver, Zheng resolutely shook his head and said, "Father, please go back, I will visit the house on time tomorrow."
Zheng Ming turned purple and left. Zheng Yiran sat motionless for two hours before going to bed.
Zheng Yiran went directly to Chengyang Hou Mansion with six soldiers. In the front yard, Zheng Houye, the second master, the second master, the third master, the second master, the second master, the second master, the third master, the third master, the second master, Zheng Jiayi Gao The family members of seniority are all waiting there. In the backyard, Mrs. Zheng, the Zheng family has three wives and three bedrooms, a total of four grandmothers, younger brothers and sisters of a certain age are all sitting with the old lady.The whole Zheng family has all kinds of strange thoughts about Zheng Yiran's return. Some want to rely on him to do things, some want him to die outside, and some don't care.
Everyone in the Zheng family watched Zheng Yiran walk in with a cold face, full of evil spirits all over his body. The second master of the third room is 12 years old this year, and he felt his calf spinning, and hid directly behind the third master Zheng.
Zheng Yiran didn't even look at these people, but he was quite respectful to the elders in the clan.
Zheng Ming couldn't get off the stage, his complexion was not very good, Zheng Yiran said directly, "I'm bothering the elders today, I will explain everything to the old lady in a while, I can't write two Zheng characters in one stroke, Cheng An Have your own measure." Marshal Feng gave Zheng Yiran the word Cheng'an.
An old man from Zheng Yiran's great-grandfather smiled and said, "That's right, it's all because of a deep hatred in the family. At the beginning, it was a misunderstanding, and those servants who didn't do their duty were all sent out. The family is still alive." It's good to be peaceful."
Zheng Yiran nodded in agreement, and sent off several clan elders. Zheng Yiran didn't say much to the men of the Zheng family. Zheng Ming led the people to Mrs. Zheng's Yongshou Hall. Among them was Zheng Yiran's eldest brother and second brother Zheng Yifang Zheng Yifeng's mood is the most complicated. More than half of the reason for the tragedy between Zheng Yiran and his mother is because of their three brothers and sisters. However, they have not had any enmity yet. It is not true that promising brothers are close, and it is not true that they are not close.
