[Red Mansion] Today is also not a person in Jia's house

The southwestern border has never been stable. There are several small countries, and there are always bandits.However, because of the disparity in national power, they all come and go in a hurry, and dare not stay for long after looting, let alone tear their faces.

But this time when the plague caught up, the Southwest was unstable and people's hearts were in chaos, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of.

Liu Xianglian was not qualified to play directly, and the news spread all the way back, and it took another two days to reach the emperor.

"Why did no one report the war in the Southwest, and the vassal king was stationed?"

In the morning, the emperor was furious, and no one dared to speak.

It took a long time for someone to stand up.

"The emperor appeases his anger, but it is not possible to determine whether a war has actually occurred based on a report. It may still be harassment. It is better to send someone to check."

Liu Xianglian's letter came back halfway, not from the southwestern battlefield, so it is inevitable that the truth is unknown.The emperor's face softened slightly, but his anger remained undiminished.

"No matter what the war is, it is true that the garrison vassals failed to report in time. The plague was not resolved, and there was another war. How can I save face? Who wants to investigate?"

It was quiet upwards, people looked at each other, and no one came out.

Going far to the southwest is not a good job, regardless of the danger, even if you win a meritorious service, you are guaranteed to be sent to garrison, just like Feng Ziying, far away from the center of power in the capital.Those who can stand in the court, who did not work hard to get to where they are today, who is willing to go out?

The emperor swept across the crowd, his expression becoming more and more indifferent.

"Is no one willing to go? Withdraw from the court and hold a grand court meeting tomorrow!"

For ordinary court meetings, only officials of the fourth rank and above are eligible to participate, and only officials in Beijing during the Great Court Meeting can participate, regardless of rank.

This is not a good thing, it only shows that there is not even a usable military general above the fourth rank.

Lin Ruhai stood in front of the window after returning home, frowning tightly.

Lin Daiyu poured tea over.

"Daddy has been thinking here for a long time, but what's bothering you?"

"It's not because of the border. Judging from the report sent back by Liu Xianglian, the situation is a bit grim. It's just that there is no one available in the court, and the veterans of the year are dying and retreating. It is really worrying."

Back in the day, Duke Ningrong, General Shenwei, Old General Wei, etc. were so powerful. Although they often lived in the capital, who would dare to invade them at the border?In just a few decades, the military generals of the court and China have no successors.

Lin Daiyu didn't understand these things, so she could only comfort her.

"Didn't Mr. Liu already go? Besides, there is always a solution for tomorrow's court meeting."

"The small southwestern country is nothing to worry about, but the plague is a problem. If it can't be solved, no matter how many generals are sent there, it will be difficult to defeat."

The father and daughter were talking, when someone came to report suddenly, Wei Ruolan begged to see him.

"Why is he here?"

Lin Daiyu muttered, and hid in the backyard to look for Lin Yun.

"After the third sister got married, she didn't interact with us much. What is Wei Ruolan doing here? Could it be that something happened to the third sister?"

"No, the third younger sister is very clear. She doesn't associate with us because she is afraid that we will be embarrassed. The Wei family is not as powerful as it was in the past. I am afraid that she heard about the great court meeting and came to inquire about the news."

With a dagger in his hand, Lin Yun cut out another toy dagger out of bamboo, and finely polished the small thorns on it with paper.

"Sister Qiao, come here."

After asking the nanny, I found out that grandma Liu had given Qiao sister's name two years earlier, so Lin Yun changed her words accordingly.

Lin Daiyu saw the two of them wielding swords and swords so naturally, and quietly took half a step back.

"Miss Qianjin was so nice when it was delivered, what will it look like to raise you for a few days? Carefully, sister-in-law Lian will settle accounts with you."

"What's the matter? I practiced martial arts earlier than this when I was a child, but I didn't become murderous. Those men didn't see every pillar after reading poetry and books. Instead, they wanted to hold a grand court meeting for the small country in the southwestern border."

While talking, Lin Yun took a brush and wrote the word "Qiao" on the bamboo dagger, and then handed it to sister Qiao contentedly.

"Go and play, you can cut fruit and dig grass, don't hurt anyone."

Sister Qiao agreed resolutely, and went out to have fun happily, with the nanny Ku Da Qiu Shen chasing after her.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing at such a childlike interest, and a flash came to her mind.

"Isn't the third brother-in-law here for the southwest border?"

Lin Yun paused as he retracted the dagger.

It's really possible.

Half an hour later, the two came to Lin Ruhai, and they confirmed it.

"The descendants of the Wei family still have blood in their bones. He wants to recommend himself to send troops to the Southwest at the Great Court Meeting. Please let me speak for him."

With a sigh, Lin Ruhai felt relieved on his face.

"Although the newcomer has not grown up, he has the heart to serve the country and is very kind."

"But he's only been married for more than a month."

Lin Daiyu couldn't bear to open her mouth, thinking of the current situation of the Wei and Jia families, she swallowed the rest of the words.

Lin Ruhai knew what she was thinking and persuaded her.

"Family and country, how can a country be home when a country is in chaos? The chaos in the small southwestern country will be quelled in a short time. The emperor has ordered the imperial hospital to search for the source of the plague along the way. If he goes out, he will also have the imperial physician with him, and nothing will happen."

Having said that, he couldn't stop worrying in his heart.

The two sisters don't know what happened at the court meeting on the second day, only that the emperor ordered Wei Ruolan to be a ranger general, and he will lead the troops to set off immediately.

Lin Daiyu greeted Tanchun privately with her sisterly love in mind, and the reply she got was only two sentences.

"If the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening?"

"When I read Qin Guan's poem in the past, I couldn't understand the deep meaning. I only said that lovers will eventually get married, how can they endure the pain of parting? I just understand it today. No wonder everyone talks about children's personal love, family and country righteousness."

Putting away the letter paper, Lin Daiyu chuckled lightly, as if feeling that she was narrow-minded, and seemed to understand something.He never talked about Wei Ruolan again, only invited Tanchun to visit him from time to time.

At the end of May, Liu Xianglian sent back a report again, and under the special attention of the emperor, it went directly to Tianting, confirming that there was indeed a plague and bandits in the southwestern border, and asked to send more imperial doctors.

While the emperor was busy dispatching soldiers and imperial physicians, he was also busy chasing down officials who had failed in their duties.

The important thing is ahead, and the Jia family's affairs are temporarily put aside, but they don't know it, and they are still worried.

Wang Xifeng couldn't eat or sleep during the solar eclipse, and couldn't get much information from outside, but Jia Mu's health continued to deteriorate.

"Doctor, is there no other way?"

The old doctor in front of me was sent by the Lin family to serve Lin Daiyu all the year round, and also healed sister Qiao, Wang Xifeng knew his medical skills.

But this time he was not as calm as before, stroking his beard, frowning and shaking his head.

"The old man's body is not as good as that of a young man. The old lady was not very good a few years ago. If she kept it quietly, she would still have a chance. However, the family's major events are irritating one after another, and now it is useless. If Second Mistress wants to be filial to the end, Just don't disturb her old man, let her rest quietly for as long as she can."

After finishing speaking, the old doctor turned his head to look at Jia Mu who was confining her eyes on the couch, and left with a sigh.

Wang Xifeng sat down on the stool and didn't move for a while.

Yuanyang didn't seem to hear, came in with ginseng soup, squatted in front of the couch and whispered.

"Old lady, you haven't eaten all day, why don't you drink some ginseng soup. Just now Baoyu and Zhigeer came to greet you, and when you meet them after drinking ginseng soup, Zhigeer will call you great-grandmother."

After speaking, he scooped up the ginseng soup with a spoon and brought it to Jiamu's mouth.

Half of the ginseng soup was poured into his mouth, and most of it flowed from the corner of his mouth to his neck, soaking the pillow.

The mandarin ducks hurriedly wiped it clean.

"Old lady, slow down, slow down."

Feed two more mouthfuls, and pour all the water into the pillow.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Yuanyang finally couldn't bear it, and lay down on the edge of the bed and cried bitterly.

After a long while, Wang Xifeng came back to her senses, propping herself up with a stick on the table.

"Why are you crying, the old lady and I are still here, our family has not yet broken up! You are so good at serving, if anyone dares to be dissatisfied, Yuanyang will tell me, tie him up and kill him immediately!"

There is no other way but to rely on intimidation, Wang Xifeng told Yuanyang and others to go out in a daze, and watched someone approaching from a distance, but couldn't see the face clearly.

"Second Mistress, Brother Yun came over just now and said that he knew a friend named Ni Er, and asked someone to find a brother he knew in prison, so we can quietly send something to the master. If someone sends a message, quietly ask him to bring it in, Don’t let anyone find out.”

The speaker was delighted, this is indeed the best news I have heard recently.Wang Xifeng rubbed his eyes, and saw clearly that it belonged to Zhou Rui's family.

"Yun'er is reliable. Quickly pack up some clothes, and get some loose silver, and ask Yun'er to find a way to send it in. Tell them, the family is waiting, so take care of it."

Anyway, just live.

Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes blurred again, and he stepped down the steps top-heavy.

Looking happy, Zhou Rui's family turned around and left.

"I'm going to pack it up, and I can send it in today."

After walking a few steps before reaching the door, he suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him, turned around and saw Wang Xifeng falling to the ground.

"Second grandma!"

Hastily rushed up, just about to make people suddenly think of the old lady in the house, and then think of the servants in the house with their own ghosts, so he gritted his teeth and went into the house alone with Wang Xifeng on his back.

Yuanyang turned pale with fright, just after sending Wang Xifeng out and seeing her being carried back, she ordered her to be put on the bed in the green gauze cabinet, and sent the little girl to chase after the old doctor, only saying that the old lady was moving.

If even Wang Xifeng fails, there will really be no one in charge in this family.

Rongqingtang, the busiest and busiest place in Rongguo Mansion in the past, has become the last hope.

In the cell, Jia Yun disguised herself and followed the third child in, and handed over two handfuls of money to no one.

The third child hastily refused.

"You are the second brother's brother, that is, my brother. How can you ask for your money? Come in, I will guard here."

"Third Brother! Thank you for your help so I can come in. I can't make you suffer. You take this money to drink tea and invite other brothers. I can't cause you any trouble."

Besides the third child, there were other jailers joking around, Jia Yun hinted with her eyes.

The third child had no choice but to accept it.

"Then I will accept it. If you have something to say when you go in, tell me quickly, and I will still find a way to let you in when I am on duty next time."

Pointing out the location of Jia Zheng and others, the third child went to talk to the other jailers, took the money and shared a share, and then went to other places to chat and laugh.

Jia Yun watched them walk away before going in, and saw Jia Lian first along the cell.

"Uncle, Second Uncle Lian!"

Jia Lian was ashamed, and he couldn't see the appearance of a handsome young man for a long time.Hearing the cry and raising his head, he was taken aback for a while before he recognized the person in front of him.

"Yun'er, why did you come in? Did something happen at home?"

"Second Uncle Lian, I asked a friend to come in. To make a long story short. These are the clothes and loose silver that my aunt asked me to bring in. You can take them and use them. I also specially asked you to take care of them. The old lady is not in good health, so you must not have any accidents." !"

Busily stuffing things in, I found Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng stuffing things to write, and they were still standing in front of Jia Lian when they came back.

"Second Uncle Lian, I can't stay long, do you have anything to tell me?"

Jia Lian hugged the package, looked at the clothes and broken silver inside, and clenched his fists.

"Go back and tell your aunt, take care of your children and yourself, and don't worry about me."
