Chapter Twenty-Four: Luo Shu's Sleeve Arrows Fear the Invasion of the Moon

Sister Feng'er Baoyu went out because of Jia Lian and Daiyu, both of them were bored, and Sister Feng went to sleep after chatting with Ping'er for a few words every day. Baoyu is not interesting to go anywhere alone, and she is bored every day. Suddenly, the mansion reported that the Qin family was gone, and the two of them went straight to Ning Guofu despite Mother Jia's words that the person who had just passed away was unclean and asked them to go back later.

Until I arrived in front of Ningguo's mansion, I saw that the door of the mansion was open, and the lanterns on both sides shone like day, coaxing people to come and go, and the crying inside shook the mountains and shook the mountains.

Jia Zhen because of You's

Sick, no one for a while, I'm afraid the funeral will not be done well, one is crying and the other is in a hurry, Baoyu recommended Sister Feng for him, Jia Zhen won Mrs. Wang's permission, and invited Sister Feng. Sure enough, this Sister Feng worked tirelessly, and the affairs of the two mansions were managed together, and she stayed up in the middle of the night from the fifth watch, eliminating the disadvantages and reforming the old, and finally adjusted it clearly.

On the day of the funeral for the Qin family, Sister Feng arranged a reception, and she walked into the front of the Dengxian Pavilion in Huifang Garden surrounded by everyone. And they all wept.

Sister Feng sat on the chair, issued tokens, assigned deacons, and arranged everything to be cleaned up, only to see that her demeanor was soothing, her words were generous, precious and magnanimous, not comparable to the concubines of this mansion. There are eight princes such as Zhenguo Gong, Li Guogong, Qi Guogong and other eight princes who sent funerals, many princes came to mourn, Pingxi Wangfu, Beijing Wangfu all came, Shenwu General Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and other princes and grandsons also came, Baoyu and Qin Zhong were together, the age difference between Qin Zhong and his sister was very large, and there was no sorrow in front of Baoyu. Baoyu wondered: "Your own sister is gone, and you are so relieved." ”

"You know what, she's been sick for a long time, and I was sad for a long time before, but now that she's dead, I don't feel it anymore." Baoyu didn't know his identity, and he seemed to feel a little relieved. Jia Zhen personally sent the coffin to the temple, it turned out that Concubine Tong lived in the Tieji Temple when she went out of the city, waiting for Jia Zhen and Sister Feng to come and meet, Daiyu lived in the temple and waited, feeling depressed, the temple wished her own people, and persuaded Miss Lin to say: Your grandmother can be buried in such a beautiful manner, it is also a blessing, you still don't be too careful. Daiyu bowed her head and said nothing, wrote Huang Yi's name upright, and set up a tablet for her grandmother. I burned incense and worshipped, and I shed tears for a long time. On this day, I heard that Baoyu and Qin Zhong were also coming to the temple early in the morning, but I didn't want to see them, so I quietly went to live in a grass hut in the back mountain. The temple was busy letting a mother-in-law follow. Xiangyun was puzzled, and said why I didn't see my second brother, but I really wanted to see him.

Daiyu didn't say anything, but quietly made a gesture to Xiangyun, and quietly went outside the house, only to see a night walker on the roof of the house uncovering the tiles and looking into the room. Daiyu quietly went behind him, and did not alarm him, only to see him look below, seemed to be disappointed, he stood up and ran a few steps forward, with a graceful figure, Daiyu thought to herself that it was a woman, and saw that he found a house and knocked on the window, but it was Jia Lian's residence. Jia Lian came out and beckoned him in.

The two men went in but blew out the lights.

Daiyu waited quietly outside the door for the man to come out, and the man shrunk his head and came out, found a corner and ran out, Daiyu followed from afar, and the man entered the city from Chaoyangmen, and then entered the palace of the king of Beijing. Daiyu saw that the man showed his face, but it was a young woman. The woman said a few words to a general and entered the study of King Beijing.

Daiyu avoided the generals and listened to the conversation inside in the side corridor.

I asked clearly, it was a nurse pretending to be, and the real person is now waiting for the prince to show him in the Iron Threshold Temple, whether to let it go or not.

What Miss Lin is doing.

I didn't see her, I only saw her cousin, a person named Shi Xiangyun, sitting there.

Daiyu couldn't see the person who spoke, only the voice.

It was Miss Lin who escorted her.

Yes.

Then you managed to arrange for me to meet her. This time, I must meet her.

Be.

When Daiyu saw the woman come out, she wondered in her heart, so she kept following. saw that the woman actually entered a Fengyue place, and she relied on her light skills and high strength, and she followed quietly.

I saw that the woman entered the side hall of the Hajj Fang Building, and Daiyu found an entrance to enter and hid it on the beam. But I saw a few girls taking a bath in a bath, pressing the woman into the water, and making trouble: Second sister, you went to see Jia Gongzi today, and you still haven't washed it honestly.

The woman had a gentle face and said with a smile, "Dead Nizi, I didn't see my serious face." Third sister, you've seen that ticket friend of yours.

Today, we all went, tsk, oops, Liu Xiaosheng's appearance is really beautiful, and the third sister's eyes are not wrong. No wonder the third sister followed from south to north to watch his play, if the third sister didn't like it, we would all have to get close.

A woman covered herself in the corner, and then she stuck out her head, and I didn't talk to you, and your foul mouth arched towards me, and I couldn't say anything good.

Several women made a fuss. A small mink ran over the beam, bared its teeth to catch Daiyu, Daiyu saw that it was shiny, couldn't bear to hurt it, and went down quietly, but there seemed to be alertness over there, Wu'er, your mink is calling. "Full squat, come down" I didn't even wear clothes, so I got up and looked for it.

Daiyu was ashamed of herself, and hurriedly withdrew, but saw a parrot under the eaves calling: Here, here. Daiyu saw that the bird couldn't get along with herself, so she grabbed it and brought it back with her. A few women rushed out where to catch up.

Sister Feng took Baoyu and Qin Zhong to live in Tieji Temple for a few days, and on the evening of the first day, Jia Zhen asked Jia Rong to come to Sister Feng to discuss the matter of letting Jia Lian escort Concubine Tong out, Sister Feng asked in a low voice: Miss Lin knew about this, she saw it with her own eyes, and naturally she knew, Sister Feng said: It seems that I still have to be a wicked person, and I don't believe in karma, so I will send her in person. She just wants to see you. Wang Xifeng nodded, sending it to Tieji Temple with such fanfare was originally a big gamble, and the most dangerous place was the safest. So he quietly changed his clothes and went to see Concubine Tong.

Qin Zhong and Baoyu whispered in a quilt: "I sue you for something, a few days ago, I saw your sister Lin at my house. ”

"What did Hun say, Sister Lin has returned to Yangzhou. said that he was going to his ancestral hometown of Suzhou. Besides, Sister Lin doesn't go out of the door, how do you recognize it?"

"You forget, we met on the boat."

"Isn't that a little girl?"

"I have never forgotten it, she has grown up now, but there is always something in her demeanor that can't change, I heard you say that your sister Lin loves to frown, so I guess it's her."

"It's easy to recognize people in your way, and it's my big sister Shi who loves to laugh."

"That's right, you have to say that you are big sister Shi, and you are also my friend"

Baoyu almost sprayed rice, "It's really interesting to say that you are Qin Zhong, you know my sister." ”

"Hey", Qin Zhong looked at him seriously: "Baoyu, I can't say that you are smart, I know that you miss your sister Lin and want to say something to you, and I am afraid that I will turn around and kill a good person, I know no less than your sisters and sisters, but I am afraid that I also know a lot of your brothers." Forget it, I'm going to ask for someone, or I can help you. ”

"That's pretty much the same as a dumb riddle."

Baoyu can't let go of things in his heart, he must be explained by Qin Zhong. Qin Zhong just laughed. Baoyu said: "It can be seen that you have also learned badly, knowing that I am anxious, and you just let me eat stuffy sticks." ”

Baoyu was summoned by the king of Beijing, this water dissolved less than twenty, described as beautiful, modest temperament, Baoyu looked at this Beijing king wind god like jade, it was really very admired, the king of Beijing saw Baoyu bunched silver crown, face like spring flowers, eyes like paint, in front of Jia Zheng praised its young phoenix clear in the old phoenix, the future is unlimited. But he discussed with Jia Zheng and wanted to take Baoyu to his house for a few days, and there were often high-ranking people in his house who could learn some poetry together. He took off a string of prayer beads from his wrist and handed it to Baoyu.

Jia Zheng naturally agreed, Baoyu was really happy, and when he returned from the Tieji Temple, he urged the little guys to prepare, but he was a little reluctant to let go of Qin Zhong. Qin Zhong urged Baoyu, so Baoyu went back to quit Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and got into the sedan chair sent by King Beijing. Everyone was happy. This King of Beijing turned out to be born to one of the Qing Emperor's favorite Han concubines, talented, bearing and famous, and is now the emperor's favorite prince, he personally summoned Baoyu, and was so humble, naturally Jia Zheng felt honored.

It is said that that that night Daiyu took the Qin family into the carriage, but it was the monk who drove the car, and the leper monk took the customs clearance token and sent them out of the city and handed them over to Jia Lian, who was waiting here. asked Daiyu and Jia Lian and Jia Lian's family Jia Yun to send her south, but Daiyu refused, saying that she wanted to go back to the nursery.

Jia Lian hurriedly said that he had said in Jiafu that he was going to find Aunt Lin this time, but in any case, he would go to the south to find it, and he would be able to return to his life. Jia's mother also looked at knowing her son-in-law's whereabouts. The monk also advised her to visit south from Yangzhou first, after all, there will always be some clues in such a large fleet. The head monk arranged for Shi Xiangyun to accompany him, and Daiyu reluctantly followed. The leper monk personally drove the car, Jia Lian rode a horse, four women were in the carriage, some family members took luggage, and the group went south.

Daiyu was depressed and did not talk to the Qin family. The Qin clan wanted to talk to her several times, but she just covered Shaman and slept on herself. The Qin family had no choice but to chat with the red jade girl who had arranged for the leper to escort him, and was glad that this girl was so articulate that she stayed in the Tiejian Temple until Concubine Tong saw Jia Zhen and Sister Feng. The group said goodbye to the monk and got on the boat, Shi Xiangyun took the boat for the first time, he was very excited, this boat can seat more than 30 people, and now in addition to six or seven boatmen and a warlock, there are only a few passengers in Daiyu. Shi Xiangyun watched the water flow in front of him fly towards the back of the boat, he was very happy, and stood at the bow of the boat loudly and recited the poem, "The big river east goes to the waves, and the Xiangjiang River passes away Chu Yunfei" How did you know that just after reading such a sentence, a few waves came, and I was dizzy. Daiyu smiled bitterly and supported her: "Your poem has the flavor of Zhang Haogu." Shi Xiangyun said while spitting; Okay, you Sister Lin, you are still laughing at me at this time, I see when you find a prince to be a father-in-law, you can be dizzy every day. Daiyu snorted: "Don't put those dirty people in front of me." The relatives of the emperor, who is more noble than whom" was so angry that she barely cheered up and helped Shi Xiangyun back to the cabin to rest. I just chanted poetry with that parrot. Xiangyun liked the little thing that Daiyu brought back, and the two of them taught it some of their favorite verses. The two saw the willow trees by the river, so they made an appointment to make "Folding Willows" Xiangyunzui was fast, and first chanted: Thousands of miles of pothos floating by the river, begonia flowers live behind closed doors, how much do you know about sweeping eyebrows and bouquets, and it is better to manage the spring breeze.

Daiyu Road; It's really tight. also wrote a poem: Temporarily serve the wine to send boredom, who is sad and thin, what is the difference between death in the world, and the spring breeze cherishes the long. Xiangyun Dao: My sister scolded well.

Qin Shi just heard the conversation between the two of them and sighed: "This kid hates me to death." ”

Jia Lian is also the culprit, naturally it is not easy to persuade, listening to this poem, even he scolded himself, and chatted with Concubine Tong for a few words, "Don't worry, she can figure it out, with her cultivation for so many years, she will figure it out after a long time." ”

"You really shouldn't have asked her nurse to do it for me.

Miss Lin's hometown is about the only one left with this dear relative. So he also read aloud: The clouds are chaotic and the wind is flying and crying Xiang Wang, the wandering is a few degrees of incense all the way, the wind is broken in the twilight of the dynasty, the rain and rain and clouds are dead, the mountains and rivers are empty and self-made, Li Min lost his flesh and bones, and the weeping willows in front of the temple are melancholy. Said Second Master Jia, you can also make one. Jia Lian smiled, then I will move a song with Gu Yun, but I can't compare to yours

Emerald even the barren shore, smoke into the far building, fortune with the wind, what a strong head, the branches from the tears, the root of the old broken boat, the country is broken, why bother fengliu. Daiyu sighed: It turns out that I don't want to do poetry anymore. Xiangyun hurriedly wrote it down, and said in his mouth: Second Master Lian, I'm afraid that you only have this poem in your life. Second Master Lian smiled outside the cabin: Yun girl, I have made a lot of beautiful words, if you like it, I can send you a volume. Xiangyun Dao: This brother is really crazy. Daiyu smiled; That's good, you see none of us dare to talk to him much. Xiangyun Gege laughed.

Jia Lian continued to chat with Concubine Tong on the boat.

"You are really alike, to tell you the truth, I thought it was you when I first saw her, so everyone had already arranged for her to replace you, not to mention that it was in a hurry, and there was no way to find other more suitable people. Huang Yi herself was willing, she was disheartened when her family was killed, although she was still reluctant to let Miss Lin go, but her heart was very tormented. This turned out to be the second strategy that Jia Zhen colluded with us, and it would not be used unless it was absolutely necessary. At that time, I hid it from Miss Lin, but what I didn't expect was that you would come back and let you touch it. That Zhou eunuch party also pressed too hard. Don't say you're uncomfortable, I can't bear it when I see her desperately enduring it like this now. ”

"When we send you away, we must have a good fight with that dead eunuch when we find an opportunity."

Concubine Tong sighed; "Forget it, he is also the loyal king of the food king"

Before he could say anything, a yin and yang strange voice sounded on the side of the boat, "If you don't look for me, I'm going to look for you, hum, I'm fishing for big fish with a long line."

Jia Lian was shocked when he saw a boatman stretching out his hand and wiping his face, but it was not the Zhou eunuch. At the same time, several boatmen changed their faces. It turned out that the boat had already been charged, and several of Jia Lian's servants were so frightened that they hid back in the cabin. Over there, Jia Yun and Hongyu were talking by the side of the boat, but when they realized that the situation was wrong, they hurriedly came up with their swords. But their kung fu is obviously no match for these eunuchs, except for Hongyu, Jia Yun was stunned by a eunuch with a boat pulp.

How could Daiyu stand the sudden departure of her nurse, and she couldn't understand why she kept herself in the dark like this. Her own nurse she was reluctant to serve her tea and pour water, and specially invited the little girl to serve, how could she be willing to sacrifice herself for a concubine who was not related to her, she felt sad not only the death of the nurse, what she was uncomfortable with was whether she was forced or voluntary, even if she was voluntary, why did she think that her life was not as precious as this concubine. and Ruizhu, if she was killed, it would be fine, but now that she knows that she is actually voluntary, is the righteousness she is obsessed with worthy of her to be buried with her own life.

If they were princesses, would they do it? She felt an unbreakable web that made her suddenly and deeply disgusted with the hierarchy and power of the world.

Shi Xiangyun was already asleep, Daiyu heard Jia Lian and Concubine Tong talking on the boat, and only gradually let go of her grief, and suddenly heard the movement on the boat louder, it turned out that there was a fight, and she hurriedly pulled Shi Xiangyun and hid sideways. But he heard a voice and laughed: "Second Master Lian, you still have to compete with me, this is not a trick, you have been tricked, you used the golden cicada to get out of the shell with me here, and almost hid from me, fortunately, I made people stare at you, and sure enough, I found the whereabouts here." But seeing that the lights on the boat were bright, two people came in to tie up Shi Xiangyun, Shi Xiangyun was woken up by Daiyu just now, and he hadn't reacted yet. Daiyu had already hit two sleeve arrows to make the two people unable to move, Daiyu clicked on the acupoints of the two and asked Shi Xiangyun to tie the two up. There was a question from above; "Did you succeed?"

Shi Xiangyun learned from the eunuch to speak: "It's so heavy, I can't carry it, come and help." ”

"You guys are really useless, you can't carry the two little girls on your back."

was talking over there, but Daiyu set up a crossbow arrow rack on the stool, tried to be accurate, retreated to Shi Xiangyun's bedside, and a person lowered his head and got in, Daiyu pulled the rope, and the person fell down. Another bolt was automatically loaded again. Daiyu handed the rope to Xiangyun and whispered, "When you see that person's feet, you pull the rope, there is anesthetic on this crossbow arrow, and you will be hit with every shot." ”

"You stay here, I'll go out from behind." She took a wooden box, which was full of crossbow arrows, brought two cylinders herself, and said to Shi Xiangyun: "Remember how to load it"

Shi Xiangyun was embarrassed: "I didn't pay attention to learning that day, my sister taught me again"

Daiyu shot an arrow at the people who came in, taught Shi Xiangyun how to operate, and smiled: "Don't be afraid, there are fifty of them, and you can deal with a boatload of people." I went up. ”

Himself rolled over from the side of the ship and got onto the cabin roof. When it went up, it was a burst of hair, and several eunuchs snorted and fell. Those eunuchs who were originally huddled in front of the cabin to discuss how to deal with them inside, did not expect that she would take the lead for a while. She knocked down a few with arrows, and cut Jia Lian's rope with a sword, Zhao'er Xing'er hurried over to rescue, and was kicked by the second master of Lian, "I don't have anything in my heart." Jia Lian immediately got into a fight with Eunuch Zhou. Zhao'er Xing'er didn't dare to retreat this time, and helped fight with the eunuch this week. Daiyu used arrows to force back the eunuchs who ran towards Concubine Tong. Ruby pulled the concubine behind her. Retreat to Jia Yun, who was lying on the ground. "How are you?" "I'm bleeding" Jia Yun stroked her forehead. Ruby handed her handkerchief over and asked him to hold it against the wound.

Jia Yunjian Hongyu took pity on herself, and she felt more and more pain.

Seeing that Jia Lian and Zhao'er Xing'er couldn't beat Eunuch Zhou, Daiyu wanted to block the killer for Concubine Tong, and was caught on the shoulder by the dragon claw of a eunuch named Xiao Haizi.

Suddenly, the warlock came out of nowhere, lifted the boat cable and threw it at the little eunuch, and pounced on it with his sword, Daiyu was overjoyed when he saw this method, it turned out to be Liu Zhenyuan among the four major families, "Miss, are you okay?" "That charlatan warlock showed his true face, and Daiyu was really happy now. Liu Zhenren smiled: "I helped you accept this eunuch." His kung fu turned out to be the best among the four major families, and Daiyu also liked this uncle the most, and he was relieved a lot at this time, but when he thought of the nurse, his eyes were red again.

Those eunuchs were taken down immediately, and Shi Xiangyun got out of the cabin and said that his sister's crossbow arrow was very effective, and it hit seven or eight. Zhao'er Xing'er tied up the anesthetized eunuchs, and Hongyu ignored the threat of the Zhou eunuchs, and asked the shipwright to lock them up with chains, seal them, and stuff them into the bilge.

It turned out that Liu Zhenren was rescued by Sumen Sanshao after falling into the water in the naval battle that day, and rescued Zhu Changshou back to Fujian with him, and participated in the resistance against the Qing Dynasty in Fujian for two years. After the fall of Guangzhou, he didn't want to join Zheng Chenggong's sailors, so he ran back with Sumen Sanshao to drift in this water, originally the monk rented their boat, who knew that those crew members were plotted by the eunuchs, and they were all tied up in the cabin, and when he got on the ship, he found that the situation was not right, and he did not make a noise. Sure enough, it worked at a critical time. Yoo Jin-won released the boatman.

Jia Lian said that he decided to go to Yangzhou first, and the current Qing Dynasty official in Yangzhou was Feng Ziying's own uncle, Jia Lian brought Feng Ziying's handwritten letter, and also wanted to use this place to find Lin Ruhai's whereabouts first.

Everyone gossiped a few words, Liu Zhenyuan saw that Daiyu looked tired, and said softly: "Miss, you were only afraid of being hurt just now, I'll take your pulse." Daiyu didn't stretch out her hand, smiled reluctantly, didn't say a word, spit out a mouthful of blood, and went down. bluffed Shi Xiangyun and shouted: "Sister Lin." Seeing her like this, the Qin clan was so anxious that he burst into tears.

Hongyu and Jia Yun went to the eunuch to ask for an antidote, but Eunuch Zhou said that it was useless to have an antidote, and that this medicine needed to be mixed with the blood of his relatives, and it was useless to take it for seven days in a row. Hongyu took the antidote, and everyone wanted to find her relatives on this ship for a while. Jia Lian obviously can't be counted, his own identity is peculiar, and everyone doesn't say it. Now the only people who can be found are Jia Zheng and Jia Yu's two uncles, or Baoyu. Jia Yu, it's useless for you to beg for this person, besides, everyone knows the ridiculous things about this old man, and Jia Lian himself is not in agreement with this father. Miss Lin is such a clean person, I am afraid that she may not be willing to use such a pickled one, that Daiyu heard everyone talking, understood in her heart, and said a word to send me back to Suzhou, closed her eyes and said nothing. It turned out that Lin Daiyu's father was an official in Yangzhou, but his family was in Suzhou, so the meaning of this statement was naturally clear. Xiangyun was so anxious that he cried.

Liu Zhenyuan protected Daiyu's heart, saying that Yangzhou still has a few days to go, and I heard that there is a medical workshop in this area that specializes in treating incurable diseases, and there is a famous female medical officer called the doctor demon, or she can be found. It seems that the Five Poisons Sect Master is also living here, he is now very arrogant, claiming to be the Five Poisons Holy Master, and I will take Daiyu ashore, if I can find one of them, or I will be saved. Xiangyun must follow Liu Zhenyuan to take care of Daiyu. Jia Lian repeatedly weighed that he could only stay, and Jia Yun Hongyu protected Concubine Tong to stay on the ship, after all, there were still such a group of eunuchs who needed to be escorted. Yangzhou also needs Jia Lian's recommendation.

So Liu Zhenyuan and Shi Xiangyun took Daiyu to a small boat in the reserve of the big boat, and with a boatman, the four of them rowed to the shore.

At this time, under the arrangement of King Beijing, Baoyu, Qin Zhong, Wei Ruolan, and Liu Xianglian set off from the capital, speeding up all the way, chasing Jia Lian's boat. Baoyu was anxious and rode a horse to the front.

The prelude to the Red Mansion of Martial Arts has officially begun.
