Jia Chen couldn't help but sigh when he saw Jia Yuanchun personally taking command and guarding Shanhaiguan.

Although this kind of strange thing did not happen in the original book, the world of Red Mansions is on the verge of the end of the world, and it is reasonable for this kind of thing to happen.

Moreover, because Jia Yuanchun is in charge, it is likely that he will be convicted for this, affecting the Jia family.

Jia Chen looked at Lin Daiyu's worried gaze and comforted:

"Don't worry, let's go see Mother Jia first and discuss with her how to help the eldest sister."

"Okay, listen to Brother Chen." Lin Daiyu bowed slightly.

Now Lin Daiyu admires Jia Chen, obeys his words, and believes in him.

Chen Zhuo, the leader of Jieling, sent a hundred of his subordinates to transport the treasures that Jia Chen had distributed, escorted Jia Chen and Lin Daiyu into Luoyang City, and found Jia's mother.

What Jia Chen didn't know was that there were actually a hundred Jinyi guards dressed up as ordinary people to secretly protect him, the minister.

When he saw Jia's mother, Jia Chen said:

"I already know that the eldest sister is leading the army to resist the Jin soldiers in Shanhaiguan, and I am willing to rush to Shanhaiguan to help her."

Jia's mother was worried about Jia Yuanchun's safety, and when she heard this, she was overjoyed, Jia Chen's martial arts were strong, and with him helping Jia Yuanchun, she would definitely be able to protect her.

Lin Daiyu also wants to go along.

But Jia Chen was worried that there would be murder on the battlefield, and he didn't want Lin Daiyu to put herself in danger, so he urged her to stay with Jia's mother.

It was originally scheduled to leave early the next morning, but unexpectedly, there was a quick report that the Jin army attacking Shanhaiguan had withdrawn.

Jia Chen was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that Jia Yuanchun, his cousin, had won the battle.

In this way, he does not have to trek through mountains and rivers to rush to Shanhaiguan.

Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of Luoyang, came to visit Jia Chen.

Facing Jia Chen, the minister of the Imperial Mission, Lu Xiangsheng smiled with a smile on his face and asked Jia Chen:

"Lord Jia, it's almost noon now, I wonder if you have ever eaten?"

Jia Chen shook his head slightly and said, "No." ”

Lu Xiangsheng was slightly happy in his heart, this time he had the opportunity to curry favor with the minister.

"Xiaguan will take the adults to a good place, and we will have a good meal and drink."

Jia Chen smiled indifferently and said:

"Then thank you, Lord Lu, I'm just hungry."

Less than half a pillar of incense, Lu Xiangsheng took Jia Chen to a pavilion full of flowers.

Jia Chen looked at the huge "red sleeve move" on the plaque, and his expression was a little strange.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiangsheng, a big boss, would bring himself to visit the Qinglou.

To tell the truth, this is the first time Jia Chen has entered this kind of occasion to observe after crossing into the world of Red Mansions.

"Lord Jia, please!"

Seeing Jia Chen looking at the signboard in a daze, Lu Xiangsheng smiled and made a gesture of please.

Jia Chen hesitated slightly, then nodded.

Since he wants to integrate into this world, he must see the three religions and nine streams.

The friendship of gentlemen is naturally rare and valuable, but the friendship of Guan Bao also has irreplaceable advantages.

Jia Chen smiled freely, and under the guidance of Lu Xiangsheng, he stepped into the red sleeve move.

A burst of warbler Yanyan's voice came, accompanied by a burst of the scent of rouge gouache.

In this era, visiting the Qinglou is an elegant thing.

In Jia Chen's impression, Lu Xiangsheng was a fierce general as a powerful ox, but he didn't expect that he was also a frequent visitor to Qinglou.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng appeared, he was warmly greeted by the old bustard.

"Oh, Lord Lu, you're here, the girls in my family are thinking about you!"

Lu Xiangsheng threw a big ingot of silver to the old bustard:

"Without further ado, we're here to see Liu Ruye."

Jia Chen was slightly stunned, this Liu Ru was the head of Qin Huai Bayan, but he didn't expect that at this time, she was actually in Luoyang City.

The old bustard took the silver and smiled even brighter:

"Okay, the old man will bring the two adults over."

Jia Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was very curious about what kind of appearance this Liu Ru was, and he could be ranked first among Qin Huai's eight yans.

Jia Chen's heart moved, and he asked Lu Xiangsheng:

"I heard that Liu Ru is good at poetry and painting, and she is both beautiful and artistic, I don't know if it's true or not?"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled a little obscenely:

"It's true, it's just that this Liu Huakui only sells his art, not his body, and besides, it's not something that ordinary people can see, so it's not a secret, in fact, the lower officials haven't seen it."

Jia Chen was slightly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that this Liu Ruyi's shelf was so big that he didn't even see the Luoyang Prefect.

The two chatted, but they were taken to a secluded small hall.

But what I didn't expect was that there were already dozens of people sitting in this hall.

It is estimated that they all came to see Liu Ruye.

Seeing Jia Chen's expression, the old bustard seemed to be sullen, and hurriedly explained:

"Don't worry, my lord, Liu Ru is not a person who sells herself, if you want to see her, you need to be in line with her heart."

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly asked, "How can it be considered to be in line with her wishes?" ”

The old bustard smiled and said: "Liu Ru is a talented girl, she will announce three exam questions, and the son will answer the questions, if your answer Liu Ru likes, she will come forward to entertain the child." ”

Jia Chen's eyelids lifted slightly, this Liu Ru is really interesting, and he even wants to set exam questions.

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned when he heard this, and his face was excited and uneasy.

He is a martial artist, and although he has also read some sage books, dancing and writing are not his strong point.

The way of meeting "exams" is in line with the style of literati, and Lu Xiangsheng is worried that his answer will not win.

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng didn't speak, the old bustard hurriedly left.

Liu Ru is only temporarily living in the red sleeve move, and the old bustard can't force her to do what she doesn't want to do, and naturally she can't promise Lu Xiangsheng anything, so in order not to offend Lu Xiangsheng, she can only dodge.

Lu Xiangsheng was obviously a regular customer of Fengyue Field, and many people greeted him one after another.

Jia Chen thought it was interesting, and the prefect of Luoyang could be regarded as having fun with the people.

Lu Xiangsheng responded one by one and introduced Jia Chen to them, but did not tell Jia Chen's true identity as a minister.

Everyone arched their hands very face-saving and said: "Look up for a long time, look up for a long time."

But just when there was a ball of harmony, a disdainful cold snort sounded:

"It's just a teenager, what do you look up to for a long time?"

Who is the one who speaks out of the way?

Jia Chen followed the prestige, but saw that it was a young man with a proud face. And beside him stood a fat man with a kind face, and the fat man said with a little disgust when he heard this:

"Oh, Brother Zhang, don't lose your words." Although it was a stop, there was no intention of stopping it in the tone.

Lu Xiangsheng was furious and asked, "Zhang Yang, what did you say?" I didn't hear you clearly, you say it again. ”

Jia Chen is the minister of the Qincha, and this Zhang Yang dares to speak disrespectfully to the minister, and Lu Xiangsheng will naturally be furious.

If it weren't for the fact that this Zhang Yang was the brother-in-law of a prince, Lu Xiangsheng would have pulled out a knife and cut him down.

Because of his noble status, Zhang Yang was not afraid of Lu Xiangsheng, stiffened his neck, and asked rhetorically:

"Lord Lu is so powerful! So what? Could it be that Lord Lu can still make Zhang not speak? I said that this person has no talent and no virtue, just a half-sized boy who has not grown all his hair, what is there to look up to for a long time? ”
