Chapter 376: We're Different
Jin Jiashu laughed twice, a little at a loss.
He wasn't used to his friend's bluntness when he returned to his home. From the former reef, it seems that he should speak more tactfully and reservedly, and he will always take into account his mood. He didn't expect that after returning home, Haijiao would be so calm in front of his relatives, which made him a little embarrassed.
However, he still honestly told his source: "The two eldest guards sent by the Zhou family were talking with their companions in the courtyard, and I heard some people say that Sister Hai quickly climbed the wall more than two feet high, and some people said that Sister Hai jumped from the wall...... Although I only saw Sister Hai jumping off the courtyard wall, the people of the Zhou family have no reason to lie......"
This is a misunderstanding.
Haitang did climb the ladder to climb the two-and-a-half-foot high exterior wall, but she jumped from the wall to the eaves of the small building in the front yard, and then fell to the roof of the west house with the windowsill, falling down layer by layer, and then walked on the roof to the courtyard wall, climbed the courtyard wall, and walked to the side of the house of Jin Jiashu, before jumping to the ground...... That's just three or four meters high. On weekdays, she exercises in the morning, and she also jumps on the backyard wall to practice light exercises, which is really a common thing for her.
Kim Ka-ki said it was unusual: "I've never seen a girl jump from such a height, and so softly and skillfully, without bumping into it at all. You were still carrying a knife! And a whip in his hand......"
Hai Jiao had already understood, and smiled: "It's actually nothing. She also likes to dance with knives and guns on weekdays, jumping up and down, but after you came to our house, she only moved in the backyard and didn't let you see it. ”
He turned his head to look at his little sister and said with a smile: "I heard that Grandma trained you?" Is the scolding bad? ”
Haitang waved his hand: "Grandma just means it, although she scolds fiercely, she says that in the future, as long as it is not the enemy who hits the door, I am not allowed to use a knife to cut people again." But isn't it the enemy who is coming to the door today? So I should use a knife to cut people, at most I will practice jumping over the wall in front of my grandma in the future, so that her old man will not be rare and weird. ”
Reef burst out laughing. Jin Jiashu was stunned again.
He finally realized that the Zhenguo Mansion had arranged for him to live in the Hai family temporarily, not only because Haijiao was his friend, but also because he had first proposed a plan to lure the enemy with a stand-in. Don't look at the Hai family on weekdays, it seems to be similar to a big family like Zhili, and even in terms of attaching importance to reading and learning, it is quite similar to his late father Jin Juren's style, but the military family under the command of the Northwest Border Army is still a military family that has lived in the border city for many years, and the style of action is really different from that of a squire like the Jin family......
He listened to the Zhou family's soldiers about the enemy's journey, even the servants who cooked on the fire in the kitchen, and the little maids who waited for him on weekdays, dared to pick up kitchen knives and sticks to subdue the enemies holding sharp blades, and the daughters of the Hai family could fly and walk and raise knives to cut people, what is so strange? Hai Jiao is just the grandson of a civilian petty officer in the army, but when it comes to riding and archery martial arts, where is he worse than the grandsons of the old marshal Zhou of the Zhenguo Mansion? When talking about the art of war and strategy, it is also quite insightful, and even Zhou Yijun, the young master of the mansion, admires it very much, which is by no means comparable to ordinary half-grown teenagers.
The Hai family, who came back from the border city, was already more powerful than ordinary people. He was so stunned, but it seemed that he had not seen enough to make such a fuss.
Jin Jiashu calmed down, and Hai Jiao told him an interesting story about his time in Guazhou: "Once the Hu people broke into the city, my second uncle went up to the wall and shot arrows to kill the enemy. My grandfather was with a spear and helped with the knife. My grandmother was carrying a firewood knife in the yard, someone came in over the wall, she stepped forward to give someone a knife, the person did not land, the foot was broken, screaming so miserable! My cousin-in-law, with his fellow scholars, stabbed him to death with his sword. Uncle Cui, father and son worked together to throw the corpse out of the wall, saving our yard from being dirty......"
This is what he recalled, and he remembered the past when he lived in Guazhou in his childhood. At that time, the little sister Haitang still didn't remember, the Hai family had not yet developed in Guazhou, and they didn't live in a deep house compound surrounded by high walls. Since no one in the family was injured, and when he participated in the city's celebration afterwards, he was also very happy, so Haijiao felt that this was an interesting event in his memory.
Jin Jiashu was shocked by the "interesting story" in his mouth, and he didn't dare to underestimate the people of the Hai family.
Unexpectedly, Xie Tanhua, Mr. Cao and Mr. Lu, who looked like elegant old scholars, as well as the kind and kind Grandpa Hai and Grandma Hai, all had the experience of killing enemies in the border city, which is really unseemly......
After a pause in gossip, Haitang asked about the reef, what news did you hear in the Zhenguo Mansion? How did the minions of the Sun family intercept Mrs. Gui's mother and daughter? They wanted to be uninvited guests in the other courtyard today, and I heard that they were still traveling with the people of the Zhenguo Mansion, why did they bump into the "Caiye" gang?
Haijiao listened to Xiaomei's question and hurriedly told the news he had heard.
Mrs. Gui's mother and daughter did borrow the familiar Zhou family's four-year-old coachman and carriage today, and went out without telling the people of the Zhenguo Mansion. They pretended to go shopping to buy clothes, but in fact they just sat down in a familiar tea shop, and then got up and left.
Because Zhou Xuejun was prepared in advance, he instructed the servants in the fourth room of his house to pay attention to Mrs. Gui's whereabouts, and the guards who followed the car would send letters back from time to time to report to Zhou Xuejun where Mrs. Gui's mother and daughter were. The coachman was actually aware of it, but no matter how much he wanted the descendants of the old lady, he would not turn his back on them for them, so he did not stop him.
Mrs. Gui noticed the guard's small movements, made an excuse to send everyone to run errands, and then turned to the direction of the other courtyard. The guards immediately told the news to the eyes and ears set up by the Zhou family in the city, and the other party passed it on to Zhou Xuejun, so Zhou Xuejun walked out with a straight face during the small banquet. She was going to go to the front door to stop someone. She is the eldest daughter of the fourth room, if she orders the coachman of the fourth room to go back to the house, and Mrs. Gui wants to enter the door again, she can only be pulled back to the Zhenguo Mansion by the carriage. The big mistakes made by the people in the fourth room will not be exposed in front of the sisters in the other rooms.
However, Mrs. Gui's mother and daughter only walked on the street with a servant woman and a coachman, and there was no one to escort them, which naturally attracted the attention of the Sun family's minions.
The "Cai Ye" escaped from the new stronghold with people before dawn, and learned from Xiaocui that the daughter of the Wu family often patronized a tea shop recently, thinking that he couldn't tie up Jin Jiashu, so he simply kidnapped one or two Wu family members, and it was not a trip to Chang'an City in vain. Besides, the city was so heavily guarded that if he didn't have enough hostages in his hands, he was really not sure that he would be able to escape from the city smoothly.
They found the whereabouts of Mrs. Gui's mother and daughter in the tea shop, followed them all the way, and when they saw that there was only one person left with them, they took advantage of the fact that they were passing by a quiet and remote street corner, and robbed the person.
The servant woman who followed the car was thrown out of the car, and only the coachman was left with Mrs. Gui's mother and daughter, and he was afraid that "Cai Ye" and others would hurt Mrs. Gui's mother and daughter, so he obediently drove the car to the door of the courtyard, and saw his own lady coming out of the door, and the porter was killed by the thief, so he remembered his duty and blocked in front of Zhou Xuejun......
Haijiao briefly brought the fate of the coachman over, and said: "After the 'Cai Ye' was arrested, he and his accomplices confessed." This 'Cai Ye' is not stupid, he knew that he couldn't escape, so he honestly recruited it, but he didn't know how many came true. ”
Haitang was a little curious: "Who is this 'Cai Ye'?" What is the full name? ”
Speaking of this, Haijiao came to the fore: "This person's real name is Sun Cai. You must not think that he is Sun Yongbai's henchman! A house slave on the roster! ”
