Chapter 17 The sound of the river at the head of the river

Cao Yun was shouting to Daiyu, "General concubine, the imperial concubine is invited." Daiyu settled down, knowing that she was too impulsive just now, and then looking at the people around her, the time was indeed too tight, and she couldn't tolerate her little daughter's temperament.

Chen Wen looked at Daiyu with great admiration, "What did he call you?" ”

Daiyu blushed, "Go and say goodbye to your father and mother." Then meet at Sungai Bridge. ”

Several adults were walking out, and she stepped aside. Then he entered the room of the royal concubine

Concubine Tong was counting a few boxes of jewelry sent by Jiaxing Mansion, holding a bronze mirror to shine left and right there, a few maids brought her water and washed her hair, saw Daiyu, hurriedly put down the mirror and comb, called her sister in her mouth, sat on the bed with her hands, wiped her tears and said:

"It turned out that I wanted to make my sister the imperial concubine, but my sister didn't want to, but I pity my identity, and I can't help myself, and now I have to separate from the child who is not yet old."

She asked Huang Yi to bring the child, instructed her to go with Daiyu, Daiyu looked at her calmly, surprised in her heart, and didn't say anything, Concubine Tong hesitated, and opened the cage and picked up a few pieces of jewelry for Daiyu to take, saying that it was for the prince's future use. Daiyu saw that she was reluctant to let go of these things outside her body, sneered in her heart, and politely refused, saying that the rest of her family was enough for this child's future use. The imperial concubine pushed the boat down the river and said politely: "Thank you for your sister's kindness with the child like this." Daiyu endured the boredom in her heart, said goodbye, and asked the nurse to hold the child to see Li Kun.

Li Kun lived in a wing room in the west, but when he saw the child, he burst into tears, grabbed a step and hugged him, and fell to the ground crying. Daiyu looked at this qiΔ“ and knew it in her heart. Let Li Kun follow him and Huang Yi to take care of this child, no matter what happens on the road, don't get too far away from you. Li Kun nodded again and again.

Daiyu asked everyone to go down, leaving only Li Kun: "Is there anything unspeakable about the big sister?" Li Kun held her hand: "The girl is young, and she understands it best in her heart. ”

"That's my brother's child."

Li Kun cried, it turned out that the concubine actually gave birth to a girl, and for the sake of self-respect, she gave birth to Li Kun's child, saying that it was a boy, and Li Kun's child was born early, and she had already reported that it was a boy, so she had to hide from the rest of the people and raise this changed girl as a boy.

Daiyu lamented: "My eldest brother is fighting bloodily outside, how can this child not be left, since the imperial concubine gave birth to a girl, why not raise it with peace of mind, how much less do you have to do it." Li Kun sighed: "Sister, you are with your eldest brother in this paragraph, and you also know his foolish loyalty, you must not mention it when you go back to Jiafu, your eldest brother takes care of national affairs, where to take care of the family, and now even a child is someone else's, and I am just like ashes." ”

Daiyu looked at this girl on the bed, and she looked very cute. Daiyu asked, "What's the child's name?"

Originally, the boy's name was Jia Lan and the girl's name was Keqing. Now the boy's name is Lin Yurong. The girl has no name.

Lin Yurong? Daiyu is strange

"Yes, a few days ago, several generals discussed here that this child should be pretended to be your younger brother, changed his surname to Lin, and hid with you in Jiafu." He also showed Daiyu the jade that the imperial concubine gave to the child, but this jade and Baoyu's jade were a pair. "Originally, this child was also going to be called Baoyu, everyone said that there was already a Baoyu there, how could this child be called, so he took the name Zhu Yurong, because he wanted to ask his sister to bring him into Jiafu, so he changed his name to Lin Yurong."

"Originally, I was a child of Jiafu, but I want to hide it in Jiafu with my heart, isn't it a joke, sister, but listen to my idea, I will give you a child."

Li Kun was overjoyed: "Really"

"Sister, don't worry, you just need to be like this"

Li Kun was overjoyed.

She called Cao Yun and Chen Wen and secretly instructed. Chen Wen nodded and came out to meet her father. "Miss Lin sent me something, I'm going here."

Chen Zongbing nodded: "I will let your mother and Lai Da wait for you in the capital, and you will go to her when you go back." ”

"Okay, is there anything else going on with Daddy, Chen Wen looked at her father's demeanor, she couldn't bear it, and went over to hold her father's hand.

"Good boy, you have a straightforward personality, you have to be patient in everything in the future, and you must be on guard against others."

Chen Wen pursed her lips and smiled, only saying that her father criticized her for robbing the white lady just now: "With her father and mother always teaching by her side, her daughter will change." Chen Zongbing saw Cao Yun standing on the side, waiting for his daughter, his heart moved, and he hurriedly came over to see it, it turned out that this Cao Yun was higher than Jiaxing Chen Zongbing, Cao Yun knew that Chen Wen's farewell to his father today was naturally life and death, although the situation was urgent, but he did not urge her. And Mr. Chen saw that he was patient and interesting, and he liked it very much. At this time, he knew that Chen Zongbing had something to say to him, so he hurriedly greeted him.

Chen Wen was blindly naΓ―ve to him, no seriousness, Chen Zongbing hurriedly apologized, Chen Wen was not convinced: "Father, why are you apologizing to him, he is so young, you still worship him." ”

"It's because I'm too used to this child, Cao Xun, this child is taken care of by you."

Cao Yun gave up his hand, and Chen Zongbing handed over a brocade box to Cao Yun, "This child is sixteen years old." I'm sorry you to leave this to her. Cao Yun accepted it. Chen Wen felt that her father was very eccentric, and Mr. Chen asked her to go to the side to let the wind go, and she and Cao Patrol had something to say.

"What do you have to say behind my back, this daddy, always treat me as a child." She went out by herself, but saw Jia Lian, Baoyu, Miaoyu, and Shi Xiangyun coming over together, and several people chattered and made an appointment to meet again in the capital. Jia Lian said that he was going to set off first, saying that Sister Feng had left yesterday. Let's say goodbye first. Baoyu took Chen Wen's hand: "Good sister, where is your fairy-like sister, why can't I find her for a while." ”

Chen Wen was about to say something,

Cao Yun came out and blocked the front: "Second Master Bao, go back to Second Master Lian quickly, you really can't catch up when you turn around." ”

"Can I join you?"

"Your brothers and sisters have someone to take care of them together, and they all have official documents, and we are in the back, and we have to act with cameras, which is much more risky. Bao Erye, go quickly. Baoyu was still hesitating, trying to find Daiyu in the crowd of people, thinking that he had just seen it and was about to meet, how could he disappear in the blink of an eye, but Jia Lian and Mingyan Qin Zhong shouted at him in the carriage: There is a call for convergence, hurry up, and several family members couldn't help but say that they carried him into the carriage. Baoyu listened to the sound of wheels and the sound of boiling people, and when he walked through the city gate, he heard the Qing soldiers shouting and asking, he opened the curtain, but saw two teams of soldiers rushing out from the side of the city gate, and the Qing soldiers defending the city were killed. The snare drum sounded, the flag on the city was replaced by the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and the carriage slowly left the city under the gaze of the Ming Dynasty soldiers.

Chen Wen pulled Cao Yun, "What kind of treasure did Daddy give you, don't wait for me to be sixteen years old, how about keeping it for me now." ”

Cao Yun smiled: "General Concubine has something to tell you, let the family go in advance." ”

"General Sister-in-law, the name Miss Lin is interesting. She's a year younger than me, and she has ten more minds than me."

"It's good if you know, but you can learn from others."

"My father just asked you to take care of me, and you are relying on the old and selling the old."

"Am I old," Cao Yun touched his chin, he was only seventeen years old, and he hadn't grown a beard yet, so he naturally didn't think he was old.

Chen Wen smiled and clapped her hands, "Put on a beard for you, let's pretend to be an old man, what do you think?"

"Good idea, it's better to pretend to be an old couple"

"Not serious" Chen Wen scolded, Cao Yun smiled and pulled Chen Wen on the horse. When they passed the city gate, Chen Wen saw her father and several officials of the Ming Dynasty, dressed in court clothes, standing at the head of the city, silently watching her, and she waved her hand to her father. His eyes were full of tears, and by this time, the sky had already dawned.

After the death of the prefect of Jiaxing, Jia Yucun took the prefect's duties in the prefect's yamen, and Mr. Chen trusted him very much. I also discussed with him about the big things.

But he knew that he would be implicated in this way, and under the pretext that he was entrusted by Lin Ruhai to send Daiyu to Beijing, which was also a big deal, and he couldn't do anything for Jiaxing. He originally planned to say goodbye to Mr. Chen this night, but in the afternoon, he saw several people pulling and pulling into court.

It turned out to be a crutch

Son, abducted a girl from someone else, raised to ten years old, but was taken by Feng Yuan, the son of a rich family, gave a dowry, married three days later, who knew that the kidnapper was sold to Xue Pan again, the kidnapper originally wanted to run, but he didn't run away, he was caught and beaten by two families, both families only need people, then Xue Pan commanded the family, and actually beat Feng Yuan to pieces, and carried it back to death. Then Xue Pan went to Beijing. Yucun asked the ins and outs of the case, and someone was arresting Xue Pan, knowing that there would be a big change tomorrow, where would he wait here to review this case, thinking that now that the Qing soldiers outside are killing people everywhere, what is the use of the court at this time, so he will go down the court after making a appearance.

Jia Yucun knew in his heart that it was Xue Pan's sister who went to Jinling, and this Xue Pan was now chatting with Baoyu Jia Lian in Mrs. Wang's back garden. He didn't alarm Xue Pan either, and went to arrange his family.

That night, he and Daiyu got on the boat all the way. In front of his boat was Daiyu's family escorting the property left by Lin Ruhai to Daiyu, and in front of him were Miaoyu and Huang Yi accompanying Li Kun, and on the last boat was the Taoist chief and a group of Jinyi guards who acted as family members, and Daiyu and Snow Goose's boat was in the front.

His wife Jiaoxing brought him clothes out, he watched the early morning sun shine on this boat, Daiyu and Snow Goose stood at the bow of the boat at this time, thin and pretty, and a little coughing, but they were so firm and persistent.

Jia Yucun and Daiyu took Li Kun and the prince to Jinling by water.

Duan Chuanxiu Yu took the troupe and waited on the road for Jiaxing to come over to deliver the news

Duan Chuanxiu brought news that Jinling was already in danger after Emperor Hongguang left, the ministers were discussing how to surrender, and the wealthy merchants in Jinling City were running to Guangzhou, Fujian. The people of the Zhu family can't even appear. He will definitely be arrested by the courtiers who are about to surrender. Naturally, the news also reached the ship. The boat had nowhere to go, and it bobbed on the water in a panic for two years. Duan Chuanxiu, Daiyu, lame, Taoist priest, and Jia Zhu and others expected to meet in Jinling turned into a confrontational battle. They left Jinling with almost all their troops annihilated. And Wu Sangui's pursuit of Li Zicheng made Jia Zhu have to miss the appointment with everyone to do something more important in his opinion. He lost contact with Daiyu and several others. Everyone then proposed to go to Beijing again. It is also very inconvenient for the rest of the troops to go to Beijing, because there are too many levels, and each level also checks the shaved hair, and there are even shaving picks waiting on the side, and the ones with the hair buns of the Ming Dynasty will be twisted. Even the woman did not let go.

Duan Chuanxiu asked Xing'er to go back to Jiaxing to report the news, and Xing'er ran back after half a day, saying that Chen Zongbing had revolted, and there were bachelors and Li Bingke to help, and at this time, in cleaning up the city defense, all the Qing soldiers who killed people were killed. The military and civilians responded enthusiastically.

The people who delivered the news on this day came over and were Cao Yun and Chen Wen who were pretending to be a pair of old men, who were in charge of the liaison of the team in Beijing, and those little girls felt very interesting when they saw them dressed up.

The girls in the troupe have given themselves names, Qi Guan, Fang Guan, Lotus Root Official, Rui Guan, Medicine Official, Jade Official, Bao Guan, Ling Guan, Eggplant Official, Ai Guan, Dou Guan, and Kwai Guan. Learn some singing with the help of Master Liyuan. Following Daiyu's fleet, sometimes going ashore to sing in the church. In fact, they are part of the Daiyu Killer Team and the Archery Team. Later, Daiyu was brought to Jinling to fight most of the women who sacrificed their lives. In the future, these names were also given by the little dramas in Jiafu, which were actually the memorials of the surviving girls for the sisters.

The boys are called Qing'er, Zhao'er, Long'er, Shen'er, Xi'er, Shou'er, Feng'er, Zhu'er, Xiaoshe'er, Li Shi'er, and Yuzhu'er. Duan Chuanxiu organized them into a team with Liu Xianglian. Teach them some formations on the battlefield. At that time, Liu Xianglian was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. loves fists and feet, dances with guns and sticks, Duan Chuanxiu taught him very carefully.

Duan Chuanxiu took this team to join a battle in Jiangyin, and Cao Yun took people to Jiaxing and almost killed all the elites of Jinyiwei. But these children survived, and later went to the capital with the migrated Jia Mansion.

Baoyu, Jia Lian, these people from Jiafu first accepted Shen'er, Xi'er, Zhu'er, Xiaoshe'er, Li Shi'er, and Yuzhu'er, and went to Jinling by land, but they didn't stay at home for two days before they were driven out of Jinling by the Qing soldiers. There is nowhere to go, and since Jiafu has found a way to live in the capital, everyone comes to Beijing.

Cao Yun, Chen Wen and Jin Yiwei accompanied the imperial concubine to the capital pretending to be the family members of wealthy merchants who had fled. It turned out that Daiyu planned to leave Cao Yun to protect the prince, but the imperial concubine was afraid of death, so she had to let the large army be with her, and she was even more reluctant to let Cao Yun and Chen Wen go away.

Everyone felt that this princess was too careless about her child, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they had to follow

Continue to move forward, the tighter the check, everyone then planned to change the waterway at the Huai'an ferry, who knew that it happened to meet Jia Zhen and Jia Rong who came to Jiangnan to purchase show girls here, they said that they had seen Baoyu in front, so they deliberately got the passage paperwork, everyone rejoiced, so they continued to go to Beijing by land, but Jia Zhen also knew the bad news that Emperor Hongguang was killed by the Qing court. Whether to say it or not, when to talk about it, made him very hesitant after seeing the imperial concubine.

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan took the woman named Xiangling who robbed them and they were also in the flow of refugees. Because Aunt Xue still had some business to take care of along the way, she probably didn't want to mix with such a large group of people who had taken refuge in Jiafu, so she simply walked slowly on the road, and Xue Pan, Xue Tad, and Xing Yanyan came over slowly. It turned out that this Xue Zhen liked Xing Yuyan very much, these two people, even in such chaos, couldn't hold back their love for each other, they were already sworn by the sea and made a private agreement for life. It's just that I didn't dare to expose it too much in front of Aunt Xue. That Aunt Xue is a loving person, she turns a blind eye, and as for the arrangement between those old people after she moved to the capital, it is actually just a dojo made by Aunt Xue to hide people's eyes. That Xue Pan wanted to make that Xiangling happy, but that Xiangling was also scared by the kidnapper, and her personality was honest, but she didn't speak, and shook her head when she asked her, which made Xue Pan so boring.

Chen Wen came all the way, but two months, I got the news, knowing that my father had died in battle, Jiaxing City was almost wiped out by the Qing army, my heart was very sad, Mrs. Chen fell ill, that Chen Wen forced a smile in front of her mother, Cao Yun carefully soothed, and went to the capital to find the former house, and arranged for Mrs. Chen's family to live, although Chen Wen was not at ease, but there was an order in the army, he was worried that Daiyu and his party were weak and had to say goodbye to Chen Wen.

This Lai Da couple took refuge in Jiafu when they arrived in the capital, and Shi Taijun saw that Chen Wen liked it very much. Lai Da actually gave Chen Wen to Taijun. Mrs. Chen knew that the two minions had given their daughters to others as slaves, and she was almost angry. The two of them didn't do anything, they simply occupied the property, and even kept Mrs. Chen, saying that if they were not obedient, they would go to the yamen to expose Chen Wen's identity. That Chen Wen's childish temperament, I don't know the changes of this person, I think Shi Taijun likes it, and there are a group of sisters to take care of it, every time I come back from Jiafu, I twitter and enlighten the old mother, and I am very happy. Mrs. Chen's own body was weak, and she barely supported it, so she could only swallow her anger. That Baoyu saw Chen Wen and asked Taijun for it, Taijun felt sorry for Baoyu, so he gave him the jewel Chen Wen, Baoyu saw that Chen Wen remembered the fairy-like girl, and loved Chen Wen even more, so he renamed her Qingwen. The jewel was also renamed Flower Raider, and there were a few musk moon autumn patterns, and they lived happily. Na Baoyu asked Qingwen, but Qingwen just didn't say. It turned out that these words should not be nonsense, and it was said that Cao Yun had repeatedly instructed them.

And Daiyu's fleet has been on the road for almost another year. This year, Li Kun accompanied the two children every day, and his heart was really comfortable, and he just wished that this journey would be as far as possible. This Daiyu also met the leader of the gang, but she had the token of the thirteen young Sumen to block a lot of things for her, and the money drawn by the ** leaders of the wharves along the river was also exempted. This Daiyu listened to the boatman sing some tunes

"Canal water, thousands of miles long,

Thousands of ships transported imperial grain;

The rice was piled up in the cabin, and the cao fu was hungry;

These boatmen reminded Daiyu of the strange man Sumen Sanshao who is now fighting against the Qing Dynasty in Fujian, and made her miss Jia Zhu, who brought a large number of injured and sick women and children to the war, and also missed her father whose whereabouts were unknown.
