The fiasco in North Ventura also had a huge impact on Jiafu.

The optimistic atmosphere of the previous days suddenly disappeared and was replaced by an atmosphere of despair and pessimism.

Baoyu and a few people will make military achievements and obtain official positions, like a bubble, before it can be blown to the maximum, it will be shattered.

At this time, people invariably remembered Jia Minlai, who was ridiculed by them as a joke.

Jia Min's warning words were used as jokes for many months.

Many people are waiting for Baoyu and the others to return to their hometowns to see how Jia Min reacts.

However, they found that they could not wait for that time any longer.

Of the 150,000 troops, only 20,000 escaped, and what this means, anyone will be able to calculate this account.

What is the probability of survival, people actually have already known it in their hearts, but no one wants to uncover this mystery.

The old lady had been lying on the kang for three days, eating only a little every day.

Now, people are reluctant to come to her upper room, not because they are not filial, and they are unwilling to greet her. It's really unwilling to face her. I don't want to see her disappointed again and again.

Jia Yu and Jia Zheng were chased by the old lady every day to inquire about the news, but even the imperial court didn't know the news ahead, what news could they hear?

The people held their breath one by one, and even walked cautiously.

The girls, who usually love to talk and laugh, stay in the house honestly one by one. Wang Xifeng, who has always been in a hurry, is now also serious.

Jia Yu came back from outside, came to the old lady's upper room, and quietly went in.

In the past, every time he came, he had to secretly look at the mandarin ducks, and fantasized in his heart for a while, but in the past few days, he didn't even have this thought.

"How's the old lady?"

Jia Yu asked the mandarin duck in a low voice.

"It's the same as before, I didn't eat this morning, and I'm asleep now."

"Come in, I didn't sleep."

The old lady spoke inside.

Jia Yu had no choice but to go in.

"But what's the news?"

"No, even the military department doesn't know the situation ahead, and the emperor hasn't been to the court for five days."

"Well, anyway, there is a letter? If Brother Min was in Bukui, there might not be such a thing. ”

"Even if Brother Min is here, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do. Now, Bu Kui is also difficult to protect. ”

"In this way, isn't Brother Lian also dangerous?"

"Naturally, this is the case, the entire government corps, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape."

Jia Yu said, and tears flowed out.

In the past, he always didn't like Jia Lian. It was only after Jia Lian arrived at the Fu Corps that he gradually stopped reprimanding.

When Jia Lian defeated Bukui, especially after achieving a great victory in South Wendura last year, he placed greater hopes on Jia Lian.

Now Jia Yu finds that he still misses this son very much.

Hearing that Jia Yu had returned, the people in each room came quietly. I want to get the latest news as soon as possible.

As soon as he heard that this was still the case, he had to leave disappointed.

Just as they were about to leave, a man in military uniform came.

Dismounted, and the people recognized it. It was Zhang Decai, the squad leader who had come to Yedu before.

"Is the Ancestor here?"

"It's there, it's in the house."

As soon as Lai Da saw that it was Zhang Decai, he knew that he must have brought some news. I hurriedly led it in.

"Ancestor, I'm here to report peace. Your second master has a letter from your family, saying that everyone in the family is fine, so don't worry about it. ”

Zhang Decai said and handed a letter to Jia Yu.

This is a letter from Jia Lian in the name of the Fu Corps, which was rushed through the military station for 600 miles, and brought back together in a letter sent to the Yedu Residence Office.

"Tell me quickly, what did Brother Lian say in the letter?"

The old lady suddenly became refreshed, and sat up straight.

"Brother Lian said that our army's army won the battle and defeated the Tatars. At the moment the Tatars could not go south. Reassure us. ”

"The Tatars are none of our business, what happened to Baoyu?"

Brother Lian said that Baoyu and they are all alive. At present, he is taking Brother Pan to rush home day and night. He wants to come back to see the emperor. ”

"Brother Pan is back, didn't Baoyu bring it back?"

"The letter didn't say Baoyu, only that he came back with Brother Pan. However, Baoyu, Brother Huan and Brother Rong are all alive and fine. ”

"It's good, it's good, it's good, it's good to live. Thankfully, this time I'm relieved. Write a letter to Brother Lian and ask Baoyu and them to come back, we don't want this military merit. Whoever loves to earn earns it. Okay, it's okay, don't cry either. Aunt Xue, you can rest assured this time, Brother Lian said in the letter that he is coming back with Brother Pan. ”

"Yes, I'm finally relieved, but I want to thank Brother Lian."

"Wherever this is, it's all family, and it should be. What about Daiyu, oops, my little heart, don't cry, you're weak, don't hurt your body, Baoyu is fine. Aunt Zhao, don't cry, didn't you say it, Brother Huan'er is fine. ”

Aunt Zhao had already cried into tears, and for a while, she couldn't stop thinking about it.

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

"Grandma Rong didn't come."

"Hurry up, go to the east, tell her, so that she can be relieved, don't hurt herself, remember to tell Brother Zhen too."

"What about Brother Feng? Why didn't he come, he also went to tell her, and said that Brother Lian would be back in a few days, so don't worry about it. ”

It's hard for the old lady to think so thoughtfully, and she should have thought of everything.

"Ancestor, the letter has been delivered, and I will leave."

The old lady made this arrangement just now, and no one else could interject, so Zhang Decai had the opportunity to say goodbye.

"Slow down, mandarin duck, take a tael of silver to squad leader Zhang. On a hot day, I came to deliver a letter, and I was sweating profusely, and I was pitiful. ”

"No need, Ancestor, I'll go. I also got Naoli to deliver a letter to Chief Min. ”

As soon as Jia Min was mentioned, the room immediately fell silent.

These days, Jia Min's name has always been a taboo in the house, and people are careful not to mention it.

"Okay, you go, and tell Brother Min'er too, telling him not to worry about Baoyu and them. Brother Min'er's words are right, this war is indeed not something that anyone can fight. It seems that he was right not to let Baoyu and them go at the beginning. ”

"Squad Leader Zhang, if you tell Brother Min again, just say what I said, there's nothing to do there, just go home early. No matter how good it is, it's someone else's home after all. ”

"Got it, Ancestor, I'll definitely bring the words."

The mandarin duck took the silver, but Zhang Decai didn't want it, so he couldn't refuse, so he accepted it and left.

The old lady admitted that Jia Min's original words were right, and asked Jia Min to come home. Everyone understood that this was the ancestor who wanted to repair the relationship with Jia Min.

So, the atmosphere was relaxed.

"Mandarin duck, grab some fruit for me to eat, why do I feel a little hungry."

"You haven't eaten in the morning, aren't you hungry?"

Mrs. Wang made a rare joke to the old lady.

In the past few days, she has also been unable to sleep and eat, but now that she heard that Baoyu was fine, the stone in her heart finally landed.

"I remember Brother Lian's letter just now that our army defeated the Tatars, right?"

The old lady suddenly remembered this.

"Yes, Brother Lian said that the Tatars wanted to go south, but our army's army met them, killed 3,000 Tatars, and scared them, and they didn't dare to go south now."

"That is to say, everyone else has been defeated, and only our family's government corps has won, right?"

"That's it."

"If Brother Min is not here, he can win the battle, and if Brother Min is here, it can be seen that he can win the battle even more."

"Mother, that's natural. Wasn't it because of Brother Min'er that he defeated 20,000 grassland iron horsemen last year, and now the 150,000 troops of the imperial court have been defeated, and our family has won, so it can be seen that our soldiers and horses can fight. ”

Jia Yu praised Jia Min rarely.

"Yes, this is Brother Min'er's training. If you want to say that this military training, strictness is love, and leniency is harm. Although Brother Min kept the cage at every turn and didn't give him food, he was able to fight after practicing well and going into battle. ”

Seeing that the old ancestor and Jia Yu praised Jia Min, others also interjected from time to time and echoed one after another, saying that Jia Min was good.

Hearing this, Li Kun summed it up in his heart.

A few days ago, everyone said that the fourth brother Min was not good, which was not right. It's only been a few days now, and the fourth brother Min is still the fourth brother Min, why did he suddenly become better at everything?

"The letter said that he didn't say that his uncle's army had won the battle? This time, our family's government corps won the battle, do they have a share? ”

As soon as the old lady said this, everyone understood in their hearts.

The old lady is still thinking about giving Baoyu and them military merits.

If Baoyu and the others participated in the battle of the Jiafu Mansion Corps, they might really be able to get military merits.

The letter didn't say it, but Brother Lian will come back in a few days. Just ask him when the time comes. ”

"I think, Baoyu and a few of them must have participated, they are members of the Jia family, and their own government corps is fighting, can they not participate? If you say you don't participate, no one will believe it. ”

"Yes, mother, as soon as Brother Lian comes back, I will be the first to ask him. If you participate, military merit is naturally indispensable. ”

The old lady and Jia Yu sang and harmonized, and those whose minds turned faster understood.

Regardless of whether Baoyu participated in the Jiafu Mansion Corps or not, this military merit was obtained.

When I didn't know if Baoyu was alive before, I thought it would be good if he could live. Now that I know that I am alive, I am thinking about military exploits in my heart.

Suddenly, the old lady said again.

"Brother Pan has come back with Brother Lian, why haven't Baoyu and the others come back?"

I was happy to visit just now, but this issue has been ignored.

Yes, it is said that Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Rong are all with Xue Pan, Xue Pan is back, why haven't they come back?

"Maybe it's because of military affairs, you can't leave, right? Brother Lian will come back in a few days, and he will know when the time comes. ”

Jia Yu said this, and he also had some doubts in his heart.
