Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

"Girl, let's go get some food!"

Zijuan walked in and persuaded her own girl who was guarding the radio by the window.

The girl is already slender, and she hasn't thought about tea and dinner these days, thinking about the old lady, but also worried about the wind and waves of Uncle Chu who went to sea, and now the girl is staying by the radio, and her sad appearance makes people feel distressed when they see it.

Xizi's heart is nothing more than that.

"I don't have the appetite to eat."

Lin Daiyu looked at the radio in a daze, her voice was soft and thin, revealing a strong sense of parting sorrow.

Zijuan still wanted to speak, but a maid's voice came from outside the house, saying that Miss Qin Er was here.

Seeing that the girl was still sitting and had no intention of greeting her, Zijuan had no choice but to go out, saw Qin Keqing, and told her about the girl not eating.

"I'll come to her!"

Qin Keqing opened the curtain and walked in quickly, covered the radio station in front of Daiyu with a fan, and scolded her: "My sister doesn't eat anymore, what should I do if I'm hungry?" ”

Daiyu looked at her.

Qin Keqing said again: "When the battle is over, when Uncle Chu comes back and hugs you, he sees that you are hungry and thin, and he is going to twist your face and let you eat ten bowls of rice at a time!" ”

As he spoke, his fair-skinned fingers went to twist Sister Lin's cheeks.

Zijuan agreed on the side: "If Uncle Chu comes back and sees the girl doing this, he will definitely feel sorry for the girl, if the girl falls ill......"

Daiyu hurriedly said, "What are you going to eat today?" ”

Zijuan laughed and said to Qin Keqing: "In the end, you still have to move out of the Buddha of Uncle Chu in order to persuade the girl." ”

Qin Keqing also laughed, Daiyu's face was slightly red, and she said that the two of them would only make fun of her.

At this time, Baochai also came, and after hearing about this, he said with a smile: "It's not unreasonable for Feng'er to be worried, since I heard that Uncle Chu went to sea with the ship, I have been quite worried in the past few days, although Uncle Chu is a god, and his means are not comparable to ordinary people, but a battle will take several months, and I don't know how his body is ...... in the wind and sun."

As she spoke, seeing Daiyu's sad appearance again, Baochai stopped her mouth in time and grabbed her slender hand apologetically: "I said the wrong thing, I shouldn't mention this again." ”

Zijuan hurriedly said: "It's important to have lunch first, I ordered the kitchen to cook some japonica porridge, make a few snacks, and a fish-flavored pigeon egg, let's eat it together." ”

Daiyu, who was in a better mood, said to the two: "I can't eat these two days, so I just drank some restrained noodle porridge, and Sister Qin and Sister Bao stayed to eat with my sister." ”

Baochai Keqing and the two agreed, and after a while, several dishes were placed on the table.

Daiyu didn't have much appetite, so she had to think that Chu Zhen was by her side, holding chopsticks and pigeon eggs to feed her, and thinking that he would hug her when he came back, and notice her distress after she became thinner, so she reluctantly drank a small bowl of japonica porridge, ate three pigeon eggs slightly, and picked up a few pieces of dim sum to eat.

She eats less, and Sister Bao doesn't eat much.

Daiyu looked at Sister Qin again, and found that Sister Qin, who could eat a big ham elbow in the past, now eats less, only drinks a bowl of porridge, picks up a few vegetables to eat, and can't eat the rest.

The three of them were worried about Chu Zhen who was drifting on the sea.

After eating, the tables and chairs were removed, Daiyu and her two sisters chatted on the couch, and there was a radio station on the low table.

According to the previous habit, Uncle Chu and her parents would turn on the radio to contact her at noon.

The same should be true today.

"The second girl, the third girl, the fourth girl, the second master Bao, and the girl of the Xia family are here!"

There was a maid's shout outside, Daiyu sat on the couch and didn't move, watching the five of them walk in together, judging from the fact that Xia Jingui was also there, they had just come from the old lady's house.

"Is this the radio?" Xia Jingui looked at the things on the table curiously, and reached out to touch them, but was blocked by Qin Keqing with his hand, and said with a smile at her:

"It's better for my sister not to move, it's going to be troublesome if it breaks later."

Xia Jingui glanced at her, withdrew his hand, didn't say anything, just glanced at Jia Baoyu again, and saw that he didn't say a word, and secretly hated him for being incompetent.

If he has the face, what if he says something to show her? Can this surnamed Qin turn his face?

Daiyu keenly saw the look hidden in Xia Jingui's eyes, thoughtful.

No wonder Uncle Chu had a strange face when he heard that Jia Baoyu was marrying Xia Jingui, and he seemed to be happy to see that this Xia Jingui's character was so deeply hidden.

Uncle Chu has always disliked Jia Baoyu.

Although Daiyu had the intention not to let Baoyu enter the garden, she also knew what Uncle Chu meant, and she couldn't help but go in and out of the garden, even if Cousin Lian, Uncle Ning Furong and others wanted to come in, as long as they obeyed the rules and didn't do anything more polite, it was okay.

Uncle Chu will take her and Sister Qing out to visit Haicheng, and naturally there is no etiquette that men and women are not allowed to meet.

This is also the difference between Uncle Chu and the rest of the men in the Dashun Dynasty, after all, he comes from a later generation with lax etiquette.

"Uncle Chu hasn't come back from going to sea yet?" Jia Yingchun asked, a little worried in his words.

"No, still at sea."

"Hundreds of ships, more than 30,000 soldiers and horses...... I don't know how many people there are? ”

"I heard that there are not many people, there are only more than 1,000 Hongmaofan, plus more than 10,000 other soldiers and horses."

"How does the second sister know so clearly?"

"Now it has already spread in the capital, and it has spread to the house!"

Jia Baoyu listened to all the sisters talking about the naval battle, and it was not close to the usual chatter, and the matter of the partial naval battle was related to that person, and it had nothing to do with him.

It made him sullen and bored.

The sisters did not surround him and left him in the cold.

After a while, Daiyu turned on the radio and quickly contacted Chu Zhen.

"Are you okay there?"

Daiyu asked worriedly, Jia Baoyu saw her slender eyebrows frowning, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her, and hurriedly persuaded her a few words.

But no one listened to him, and Daiyu was also absent-minded, just waiting for Chu Zhen to speak on the radio.

"It's fine!"

Chu Zhen, who was on the big boat, said with a smile: "I am on the same boat with your uncle, the warship is sailing in three teams, and I have pulled out the strongholds on several islands of Hongmaofan, and my morale is high, and I plan to land in Xiaoliuqiu today!" ”

Daiyu hurriedly asked, "What is the arrangement of the three warships?" ”

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the sisters looked at her in surprise.

Jia Baoyu was also taken aback: "When did Sister Lin learn this?" ”

Others also asked, Daiyu glanced at him, but did not answer, she is now holding the microphone.

Chu Zhen on the boat smiled and said, "Sister Lin wants to know this?" Okay, I'll tell you about the fleet lineup.

Your uncle took into account that there were more than 300 ships of old and new styles, different speeds, different caliber and number of cannons carried, and tactical considerations, so he divided the fleet into five columns, two of which were in the front, the fastest and served as a patrol alert mission......

Two columns were used as interspersed and reserve warships behind enemy lines, and the main ship was a three-class sail battleship with a total of 100 cannons in three rows, and there were more than 1,000 requisitioned crew members on board, plus 1,000 combat troops. ”

He spoke very carefully, and everyone listened carefully, and the sight of hundreds of warships sailing on the vast sea came to their minds.

And the young and handsome Uncle Chu stood at the bow of the boat, facing the sea breeze, and the seagulls were circling in the sky - the above imaginary picture came from Qin Keqing, she pursed her lips, her cheeks were rosy, and her eyes were full of light.

Daiyu smiled and asked, "How many people are in the fleet prepared at the back?" ”

"Almost fifty."

Baochai listened to the conversation between Sister Lin and Uncle Chu, and felt more and more that he was different from ordinary men.

Sister Lin grew up in the deep boudoir like her, and it stands to reason that she would not know these things, but now Sister Lin seems to know a thing or two about how to fight naval battles, and she is stronger than a man like Baoyu.

Thinking about it, only when Uncle Chu taught her, or said relevant things in front of her, Sister Lin knew these things.

Uncle Chu will not say anything because Sister Lin is a woman, "You don't have to worry about the outside affairs, just take care of the family", or "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented", let alone say that writing poems and lyrics is not a woman's business.

On the contrary, Uncle Chu likes talented women who can write poems and lyrics......

"Uncle Chu, tell us what a ship with a hundred cannons looks like?" Qin Keqing asked curiously.

"The ship is very large, there are 100 stones stored in fresh water alone, and there are many crew members needed, so the space inside the ship is not enough, people sleep in layers, people can't sit up, they can only come out sideways......"

Baochai could hear it, her poems were no less than Sister Lin, and he said that he had done a few poems before.

Uncle Chu is really willing to tell them everything, so as to increase everyone's horizons and not make them trapped in a small garden.

Baochai glanced at Sister Lin, who was listening carefully, and she found that she was more and more envious in her heart, and she could go to Haicheng with Uncle Chu.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a cannon rang out from the radio, and all the sisters in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion were taken aback, and Tanchun stood up suddenly: "There is a war?!" ”

Daiyu was also anxious, but she didn't ask immediately, but listened patiently.

Everyone was calm, so she didn't say much, listening to the noisy sound from the radio, the shouts of the crew, the whining of the sea breeze, and the sound of drums, which shook their hearts and beat fiercely, as if they were in the scene, and the red-haired Fanyi fleet sailed fiercely.

"It was a cordon just now."

Uncle Chu's voice finally came: "The crew of the lookout found the enemy, and they did not defend the city, but came out for naval battle. ”

Then everyone listened to Uncle Chu say: "At present, I have only seen more than 100 ships, and I don't know if the other party has ambushes, but the other party's ships are not bad, only a little worse than our newly built ships." ”

"So we have the upper hand?" Xichun hurriedly asked.

"On paper, we won, but fighting a war is not only based on these, but also on the combat experience of both sides, how to open ships, fire cannons, and tactics...... I'm ready for battle, so I'll listen to it later, and I'll talk when it's over. ”

Chu Zhen smiled again: "If you are afraid of the sound of cannons, go out first to avoid it, or turn off the radio." ”

Daiyu is naturally not afraid, but Keqing also wants to stay, and Baochai is the same.

The rest of the people also had to stay and listen, Jia Baoyu was not interested in this, but the sisters didn't go out, and he was bored when he went out.

Soon, the sound of artillery rang out one after another.

Accompanied by the sound of the soldiers on the ship shouting and shouting, they also felt the amazing battle at sea.

Half an hour later, the sound of the cannon became more and more intense, and the sisters in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion even heard the sound of Hongmaofan's cannon fire, and also heard the sound of the wood being smashed after the cannonball smashed out of the boat.

Lin Daiyu's heart was raised to her throat.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for them to hear cheers from the ship, and the sound of the soldiers scolding the red hair, which was very ugly, but it was really relieving.

"Beware of the red-haired fan's deception!" Daiyu said busily.

She guessed, but after a while, Uncle Chu smiled with her and said, "The enemy really has ambushes, but we also have them, intercepted them from a distance, and now we are chasing at full speed, we should be able to catch up!" ”

"Uncle Chu will beat these Fanyi for us!"

Qin Keqing squeezed his powder fist, dripping with joy.

Chu Zhen laughed: "I didn't join the battle, just watched." ”

All the sisters covered their mouths and laughed, Uncle Chu really didn't whitewash his own merits at all, how could anyone be so humble?

The pursuit was much easier.

Chu Zhen chatted with them and reviewed the results just now:

"They had ten ships with fifty cannons, two of which were sunk on the spot, the hull was wounded and flooded, and now it was slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea, and the other was hit by heavy artillery and exploded on the spot...... I'll take a picture of it, and I'll show you later. ”

"Yes, yes!"

Qin Keqing clapped his hands and applauded, and the sisters also rejoiced because they had won the battle.

On Chu Zhen's side, the Dashun warship continued to pursue, and after chasing for half an hour, everyone heard the sound of cannons again and knew that they had caught up.

"There was a war at sea?!"

Hearing the voice, Daiyu and the others turned their heads to look and found that it was Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng who came, and the sisters hurriedly got up to greet them.

"Sit down." Mrs. Wang said.

Qingwen looked out and saw that the maids and women were also gathered in front of the door and listened, no wonder there was no report that someone was coming.

There were not enough chairs in the house, so Xichun gave up her place to Sister Feng to sit on, and stood behind Qin Keqing.

Wang Xifeng excused himself before sitting down, and asked with a smile: "I just heard Xiaohong say that it was lively here, and guessed that it was the beginning of the war, I was busy telling my wife, and my wife couldn't rest assured that my uncle was not at ease, so let's come and listen...... Is this cannon sound a war at sea? ”

Everyone said that Qin Keqing had the best relationship with her, and told Wang Xifeng what happened just now with a smile.

"Amitabha, it's okay."

Mrs. Wang, who recites the Buddha, folds her hands and sings the Buddha for her brother Prince Teng, who is far away at sea.

Uncle Chu's voice came from the radio again: "We surrounded each other, and we are forcing them to land, forcing them to land with artillery fire!" ”

"Uncle Chu's boats have all arrived on the shore? Little Ryukyu Island? Xue Baochai asked hurriedly.

"Yes, on the west shore of Xiaoliuqiu Island, look at the map and there is a harbor here, just drive them into it, and catch turtles in an urn."

"Where is the turtle, it is clearly a red-haired fan!" Qin Keqing smiled happily and scolded Fanyi, as if he had won the battle.

Everyone in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion laughed.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "It's because the Chu Immortals are here, and this battle will be fought smoothly!" ”

Everyone laughed and said that Uncle Chu did not participate in the battle, and heard his laughter on the radio: "It's not that I didn't do anything, I summoned a gust of wind to make our ship downwind, and theirs against the wind." ”

Qin Keqing's eyes widened, "Immortal Chu also said that he didn't play a role, calling for wind and rain to beat the red-haired fan and hugging his head!" ”

Everyone was also amazed, in the end, it was a god, and the victory was decided after summoning a wind.

Mrs. Wang said to Wang Xifeng: "Do you want to send someone to tell the old lady, the uncle has won the battle, so that the old lady is also happy." ”

Wang Xifeng couldn't make up her mind, so she asked Sister Lin instead.

Daiyu thought for a while and said, "It's better to wait for the red hairy fan to surrender and then tell the old lady, so as not to make the old lady worry if the war changes." ”

And they all listened to her.

But not long after, the mandarin duck came anxiously, and after entering the door, he asked, "Miss Lin is fighting here?" ”

Daiyu looked surprised: "Where is the war in Xiaoxiang Pavilion?" Who's fighting whom? ”

All the sisters laughed, and the laughter of a woman in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was suddenly pleasing to the eye.

The mandarin duck stomped his feet and said hurriedly: "The girl is still making fun of me, the old lady knows about it, and she is worried that something will happen to Uncle Chu, Uncle Chu and Uncle and Uncle, so she hurriedly sent me to ask for clarification." ”

Daiyu walked over and grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "Good sister, don't be angry. ”

Pull her to sit down and explain.

After drinking a cup of tea, the mandarin duck hurried back to tell the old lady.

Soon after, he came back and said with a smile: "I'll pass on the old lady's words to the girls." ”

Everyone stood up and listened, even Madame Wang.

Mandarin duck said: "The old lady said, the girls are worried about the front-line war, tonight I am afraid that they will have to stay until the evening, the red hair fan does not know when to surrender, the old lady advises the girls to rest early, and will call the kitchen to prepare a dinner later, and send it to Miss Lin and the girls to eat." ”

Daiyu was about to thank the old lady, but the mandarin duck continued: "The old lady also said, please Miss Lin and Uncle Chu and Uncle Chu be careful on the boat, overseas Fanyi is cunning and repeated, don't be deceived by them." ”

Daiyu nodded, indicating that she would tell the old lady later, and thanked the old lady for her reward.

Everyone thanked them too.

Mrs. Wang sat in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a long time before saying goodbye and leaving, but told Wang Xifeng, who was good to stay, to send someone to tell her if there was any situation, and it didn't matter at night.

"Don't worry, madam, I'll stay at my uncle's side and sleep before I leave!" Wang Xifeng said busily.

Xia Jingui didn't sit anymore, called Shangbao and left, and went to eat with Mrs. Wang.

Everyone didn't care about Jia Baoyu leaving, and continued to stay in front of the radio station while listening and chatting, Wang Xifeng watched the same TV series with Qin Keqing on the couch, and the two whispered.

Long.

Xue Baochai was puzzled at first, how long did it take to persuade him to surrender?

But time passed little by little, and sure enough, as the old lady expected, the Hongmao Fan, who was forced into the harbor, held on, and the Dashun fleet launched several rounds of shelling, but it was never able to get in.

However, it was also to avoid casualties, and there was no fierce fighting.

In the evening, Xia Shouzhong led a team of eunuchs to arrive, and the eunuchs held a lot of gifts in their hands, all of which were given to Lin Daiyu by the queen's mother.

Everyone saw only envy.

First, Lin Ruhai, sister Lin's father, was the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and he had a great contribution to this battle.

Second, Uncle Chu has a great relationship with Sister Lin, and all the things that Uncle Chu gave him were sent to her.

Grandpa Dai sat in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a while, drank a cup of tea, and heard that the Chu Immortal summoned a gust of wind before the battle, and suddenly said "Oops", sighed and said: "Your Majesty has never known about this, Chu Immortal has always said that he is just going to record the war, but he didn't think that he had used the means of calling the wind and rain!" ”

Then he figured it out again: "It seems that the Chu Immortal thinks that this wind is not a big help, so he didn't mention it!" ”

The tailwind allows the shells to fly farther, which is no small help.

Xia Shouzhong finished drinking tea, and hurriedly went back to the palace to pray.

The warships of the Dashun Dynasty trapped more than 100 ships of Hongmaofan and were trapped all night.

When I got up the next day, the whole capital knew about it, and everyone was vying to discuss, and the maids and women in the Rongguo Mansion were all looking forward to Uncle Chu, Uncle and Uncle and Uncle returning from a winning battle.

After waiting for three days, the people in the capital waited for the news:

Hongmaofan, who had been besieged for many days, finally abandoned the ship and surrendered, and lined up on the shore to wait for the officers and soldiers of Dashun to take him into custody.

For a time, everyone in Beijing celebrated the victory at the front.
