Chapter 34: Sugarcoat eats, cannonballs are thrown back
Standing on the official boat given by Shi Lang, he looked up at the two big flags above his head that Qin Cha inspected Jiangnan and Nanzhen Mansion Sijia. Jia Lian's thoughts were a little wandering.
Last night, probably Emperor Longzheng was worried that Jia Lian was young and didn't understand or his grandfather couldn't explain it to him, so he specially sent someone to call Jia Lian into the palace.
In the Zichen Palace, Emperor Longzheng rarely told him in great detail about the dangers Lin Ruhai faced and the mission that Jia Lian had to undertake.
In the end, Emperor Long Zheng said: "Jia Lian, you will know in the future what I am, what Lin Aiqing has done for me in Jiangnan is very important to me and to the entire Dazheng, and he has paid a lot for the sake of national affairs."
The last time I was in Yangzhou, if it wasn't for the protection of the CRRC masters around him. His wife, your aunt Jia Min, and his one-year-old sister-in-law are almost certainly dead.
But the man I sent to him is dying, so you need to act as soon as possible. took advantage of this Yangzhou garrison case to solve the crisis for Lin Ruhai. ”
Jia Lian looked at Tianjin Port in the distance, and he knew very well that Lin Ruhai's sister-in-law did die at a young age, and he didn't even leave his name.
Before leaving the palace, Emperor Longzheng asked Jia Lian if he had any questions. Jia Lian made a request to Emperor Longzheng to send a female doctor who could diagnose the illness of his inner family.
Jia Lian is really worried about Jia Min's physical condition, according to the original book, Jia Min should have died less than a year after the death of his son-in-law. Now that it's too late, Jia Lian plans to find a way to save this aunt.
After all, Emperor Longzheng had promised that he would find a way to transfer Lin Ruhai back to Beijing as soon as possible. So as long as he protects Jia Min, then after returning to Beijing, Daiyu will not be lonely, and Jia Lian will have a truly reliable ally in Rongguo's mansion.
In any case, Jia Lian, the descendant of Jia Min's eldest sister-in-law who was good friends with Jia Min, will be closer to Jia Min than the second sister-in-law who is selfish and vicious.
However, looking at the third floor, Jia Lian shook his head helplessly. He thought that the women in the harem were like clouds. There will inevitably be many women who are responsible for treating the concubines and palace maids. Jia Lian begged such an old woman to go to Yangzhou to give Lin Ruhai, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai's newborn sister-in-law a good look.
Lin Daiyu was born weak and couldn't help it. It can't be like this for the Lin family.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Longzheng, who was full of promises, really sent someone when he was about to set off early this morning, but he was such a master.
Thinking of the little girl with a cold and arrogant face, Jia Lian felt some headaches. According to the little eunuch who said that this is the only granddaughter of Liang Lao, who is the oldest qualified in the palace, and she has obtained the true inheritance of Liang Lao with medical skills.
If it weren't for the Son of Heaven coming forward in person, I'm afraid Liang Lao would be reluctant to send his precious granddaughter.
The little eunuch surnamed Li also said with a lewd face: "General Jia, this Liang girl is still a virgin. Cheap for you. ”
Jia Lian, who was angry at that time, wanted to give the little eunuch a kick, although he came to this world of red mansions. But there is absolutely no idea of the beauty of the Red Mansion entering my room.
It is enough to have one Wang Xifeng by his side, and one Ping'er. At most, Jia Lian was still eager to move Sister Lin, who was about to meet, but he knew that it was difficult.
As for others, Jia Lian really didn't have much of an idea.
It's just that what Jia Lian doesn't know at this time is that even if he is a traverser, sometimes not everything can be transferred by his own will.
Half a day on the boat, Jia Lian was having lunch in the cabin, and Qingwen was waiting on the side.
Jia Lian looked at the little pepper in front of him, which had obviously not yet grown, and felt a little curious.
Among the many maids in the Red Mansion, Jia Lian was most interested in three, Zijuan, Qingwen and Mandarin Duck.
Zijuan was still called Brother Parrot at this time, and she was a little girl beside Jia's mother who had just been promoted to the second class. Jia Lian had seen her, but Jia Lian felt that it was better to leave her to Daiyu.
If Jia Lian's plans are successful, and Lin Ruhai and Jia Min can return to Beijing safely from Yangzhou, then Jia's mother will definitely give the eldest lady of the Lin family a maid, which is also due. If the plan fails, Lin Daiyu will eventually live in Jiafu, although Jia Lian will definitely not let her die like this again. But it's not bad to have a purple cuckoo around.
As for the mandarin duck, she is now the big girl by Jia's mother's side. Although it has not reached the point where it will not be able to leave her in the later period of the Red Mansion, it is also very important.
Jia Lian is very sure that the mandarin duck can't run, at most, when Jia's mother dies, the mandarin duck will definitely be his person.
As for Qingwen, Jia Lian didn't want to rob Jia Baoyu at first. First, it doesn't look like it, and secondly, Qingwen's temperament is estimated to be unbearable for Wang Xifeng.
Unexpectedly, in this life, Mama Lai gave Qingwen to herself.
But looking at Qingwen's already somewhat grown figure and the buds on her chest that are gradually blooming. Jia Lian remembered a mystery about Qingwen in her previous life.
That is, how old is Qingwen.
According to the original book, after Qingwen's death, Jia Baoyu wrote a memorial to Qingwen, which mentioned that Qingwen was sixteen years old.
But not to mention a few obvious omissions in the book, that is, Jia Lian looked at Qingwen in front of him, how could he not be only five or six years old, you know, it will be more than ten years before Qingwen dies in the book.
"Qingwen, how old are you this year?" Jia Lian adhered to the spirit of asking if he didn't understand, and spoke directly.
Qingwen's face turned red, although she had a hot temperament, she was not as lawless as Jia Baoyu was used to later. When I was in Lai's house, it was common to be beaten and scolded by my master.
So although I was a little embarrassed in my heart, I could only reply in a harmonious voice: "If you go back to your father, your maid Yong'an was born in six years, and now she has just turned eleven years old. ”
Jia Lian nodded, this is it. is more than four years older than Jia Baoyu, which should be a more suitable age. The same is true for attacking people, and so is Qingwen.
"Since Mama Lai gave you to me, you can serve by my side in the future. I didn't bring anyone with me when I came out this time, and I still have to take care of some things for me. ”
Qingwen nodded: "Then can I take care of Cuckoo and Cuimo?" ”
Du Juan and Cui Mo are the stunning twins that Mrs. Chen gave to Jia Lian from the Chen family. Now they are fifteen years old.
Jia Lian smiled: "You and the two of them have different tasks. The two of them need to sleep, and your task is to take care of the back house for me. Naturally, it includes the two of them. ”
Qingwen took the order to go down and prepare, while Jia Lian thought about the twins and fell into deep thought.
Although the Chen family would not make a move on themselves in the future, but the news that Jia Lian got from a secret channel is not easy for these two little girls.
Jia Lian looked up at the sky, feeling a little depressed. But it doesn't matter, Jia Lian has been taught by the great leader for many years, so he naturally knows how to deal with sugar-coated cannonballs.
Naturally, the sugar-coated was eaten and the shells were thrown back.
