Chapter 67: Uncle Lin
After discussing some details with the emperor, Jia Hui left Xiyuan.
When I got home, I happened to meet Jia Zhu and Jia Lian, two difficult brothers.
"Yo, you're back?" Jia Hui stepped forward to greet them.
Jia Zhu is okay, after all, he just went to exercise, he had his own barracks, and he was fine after completing his daily training, and he had been there for less than a day.
Jia Lian's eyes were more resentful.
After being dragged out of the barracks by Jiao Da yesterday, he started to run, and circled the camp twice.
How have the pampered young masters experienced this? After less than half a lap, I started panting.
Jia Rong in Dongfu still wanted to play tricks, standing there and not wanting to move, and the old guards who were sent over with Jiao Da persuaded them bitterly, which only fueled Jia Rong's arrogance.
On weekdays, Jia Zhen beats and scolds him, and now he can finally shake his prestige outside, I want to listen to you and continue to run, so what's the deal?
Then his arrogance attracted Jiao Da.
Who is Jiaoda? That was the one who carried Lao Ningguo back from the pile of the dead, that is, Jia Jing was in front of him, and he was also polite to him, what kind of thing are you Jia Rong?
When he went up, there was a whip, and Jia Rong, who was in pain, lay on the ground and twitched, and the children of the Jia family who were playing behind him were trembling in their legs and stomachs.
Seeing that he couldn't escape from running laps, he had to continue running with heavy legs.
Immediately afterwards, there were various trainings such as zama steps and knife wielding, and when he returned to the class room at night, Jia Lian felt that his body was not his own...
"Big brother...", the aches from his body made him tremble when he spoke.
"Haha, how is it, Third Master Lian, do you like to practice martial arts or study?"
"I..."
I don't like either! Jia Lian yelled in his heart.
But just shout in your heart, if you really want to shout out, not only will the two eldest brothers beat him, but they will also beat him when they turn around and tell the master.
"Big brother, I don't want to go, can I study hard!" Jia Lian still wants to fight for it.
Jia Zhu also looked over, although his training amount was far inferior to these boys, he didn't want to practice either!
"Hehe, let's die of this heart, I tell you, these days that have fallen, when you come back, you have to make up for it!"
"Ahhh Jia Lian covered his face in pain, and Jia Zhu on the side also looked loveless.
"Hahaha, big brother Zhu, third brother Lian!" A crisp girl's voice came, and a young lady wearing a long coat with a big red peony embroidered collar got out of the carriage and walked over, and two young men came down from the carriage.
"It's Sister Xiangyun, why did you come with you?" Jia Zhu looked at the little lady with a smile on her face.
"Yo Yo Yo, whose girl is this, why don't you call me? But forgot me? β
Jia Hui pinched Shi Xiangyun's little face, causing her to shrink back with her eyes closed.
"Haha, big brother, it seems that this little cousin doesn't recognize you!" It was rare for Jia Zhu to see Jia Hui deflated, so he naturally wanted to laugh at it.
Jia Hui squinted at Jia Zhu, and Jia Zhu quickly closed his mouth.
"Big Brother Zhu is also called Big Brother? Come to think of it, you are Brother Hun! Shi Xiangyun, who had sensitive ears, immediately remembered after hearing Jia Zhu's title.
"Haha, isn't that me! Xiangyun is becoming more and more like a big girl! Jia Hui let go of the hand that was pinching her little face and rubbed her head.
"Brother Shi Muyun (Xianyun) met Brother Hui, Brother Zhu, and Brother Lian!"
The two sisters-in-law of the Shi family also came over, and they were about the same age as Jia Lian, but they were both older than Jia Lian.
"It's all a family, why are you so polite, come, come into the house!"
γγγγγγ
Walking through the Yi Gate, passing through the South Hall, and passing through the Inner Yi Gate, the core main hall of the entire Rongguo Mansion - Rongxi Hall appeared in front of them.
"Ancestor!"
Xiangyun entered the Neiyi Gate, and his steps became faster and faster, until he approached the door of Rongxi Hall, and he actually trotted up and pounced on Jia Mu's body all the way.
Jia Mu also smiled, picked up Shi Xiangyun, held Baoyu in her left hand, and Xiangyun in her right hand.
"My nephew meets my aunt and grandmother!"
The two young men of the Shi family first wanted to pay a big salute, but Jia's mother was startled, and hurriedly asked Jia Hui and Jia Zhu, who came in later, to help them up.
"Oh, it's Brother Mu and Brother Xian! Come on, come on, let my aunt take a good look at you! β
The two obediently walked in front of Jia's mother, and Jia's mother let go of the hand holding Baoyu and Xiangyun, touching the arms of the two and touching the little faces of the two at the same time.
is still very different from the original book, the second marquis of the Shi family, who was supposed to start to alienate the Jia family, due to the rise of Jia Hui, seamlessly connected to the class of the eldest brother who died early.
Relying on Xiangyun, he continued to be close to the Jia family, and occasionally came to the Jia family in person to watch the play and have fun with the Jia family, but the two sisters-in-law have always been studying in the Guozijian and rarely brought them over to focus on their studies.
It wasn't until last year that Jia Hui was appointed as the governor of the Left Army, and the two brothers decided to get closer to the Jia family in an all-round way, and the number of times they brought their two sons-in-law gradually increased.
However, the two children's studies are really heavy, and this is the first time they have brought their sons-in-law over since Jia Hui's wedding.
Seeing the two small faces that looked like her deceased eldest brother, Mother Jia couldn't help but have red eyes.
"Old lady, since you have already seen them, and the time is quite rushed, then the grandson will take them away!"
Seeing that the conversation was about to end, for fear of delaying the hour, Jia Hui came out and became a villain who ruined the atmosphere.
Jia Mu pursed her lips.
"Then go quickly, remember, if your two cousins hurt a hair, the old woman will not spare you!"
"The old lady is so eccentric! Two cousins can't hurt a single hair, so what about the three of us? β
"The three of you? You three are thick-skinned and thick-skinned, and your hair is like pig's bristles, who can hurt you? β
As soon as Jia Mu's voice fell, everyone laughed, and the entire Rongxi Hall was filled with a happy air.
Li Kun, who came over early in the morning, also covered his pretty face with a fan, only showing his eyes, and looked at Jia Hui with a smile.
"It's... can only say that she is worthy of Xiangyun's cousin's aunt and grandmother! β
Jia Hui gave a thumbs up.
This time, even the old lady laughed and kindly took Xiangyun into her arms.
γγγγγγ
Bidding farewell to his relatives, Jia Hui took five small ones on the road.
Jia Rong of Dongfu, two brothers from Zhongfu, and two cousins of the Shi family, not long after leaving Jianchun Gate, Guan Sheng followed with Jia Hui's three thousand households.
"Wow-"
The three thousand cavalry stopped twenty paces away from Jia Hui, and the whole thing was the same, and the order was forbidden.
attracted the eyes of several young men, and looked at the eldest brother Jia Hui who greeted him with a yearning expression.
"Do you know what we're going to do?"
"Back to the general, the brothers have long been tired of looking down on the group of birdmen in the Jiangnan camp! The combat strength is not good, and they are always fighting with us for supplies, and the new war jackets that were issued last time were snatched away by them, causing the brothers to wear tattered clothes for an extra month, this time, they must have carefully raided their homes! β
"Raid the house!"
"Raid the house!"
"Raid the house!"
can be regarded as a prisoner on the head of the military master!
"Very nice and very energetic! Go, brethren! β
γγγγγγ
The three thousand households traveled by the way as the escorts of the mourning group. Because the main general is Jia Hui, all the staff have been replaced with cotton armor, and the logistical pressure has been greatly reduced, and the states and counties along the way have been urgently notified for 800 miles to make logistical preparations.
All in all, it can travel at a speed of 120 miles a day.
Lao Guogong chose to stop the spirit for 14 days before he was buried, leaving plenty of time for everyone.
Yesterday, 600 miles were urgent, and it took two days to run to Luoyang, so as long as it arrived within 11 days.
The next day, the funeral group in Luoyang, that is, on the morning of the third day after the death of the old lady, set off and took ten days to arrive in Huai'an.
γγγγγγ
"God is pitiful, it's finally here, Lone's body is about to fall apart..."King Zhongxin rubbed his waist, looked at Huai'an City, which was already covered with white cloth, and complained.
"Hahaha, fourteenth brother, don't go to the flower bar for a few drinks!"
The king of Faithfulness slapped the king on the waist, causing him to scream and scold.
"Silence!"
King Yizhong looked at his two uncles with disgust, when did they be, and they were still so unserious!
"Humph!" The Faithful King looked at the Loyal King with an unconvinced face, if it weren't for the fact that something was being done here, you couldn't make trouble, otherwise, I wanted you to look good!
"Alright, don't mess around! Guan Sheng, you take our brothers to enter the Cao Bing camp, and the rest go into the city! β
Jia Hui's prestige among the nobles is not covered, these young nobles and young people who represent each family hurriedly lined up according to the size of the title after hearing Jia Hui's words, and the kings were embarrassed to mess up, and they also came to the front of the line to line up.
It's just that when the kings saw the three thousand households in the distance, they looked at Jia Hui and King Yiyong side by side, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Heh, now, we've become their first threat!" Chen Jingyuan said helplessly to Jia Hui.
"It doesn't matter, maybe they'll help us before we get rid of your three brothers! They all have to rely on you to be the vanguard, after all, their basic plate is too far away from Luoyang, but ours is close at hand..."
Luoyang was far away from the basic territory of most princes, and only Yizhong's Jingying and Chen Jingyuan's Northwest Army were left to rely on Luoyang.
"Besides, even if we join forces to attack us, it's just that the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it, the Northwest Army is on the side, and we will be invincible!"
γγγγγγ
After a day's rest, it was time for the burial.
The orphans adopted by the old lady in his later years are now the pillars of the Cao Guild, kneeling in front of the spirit as filial sons and bowing with flags to thank the guests.
Xia Shouzhong, as the messenger of the proclamation, also came to Huai'an, and he brought the name he got after the Ministry of Rites discussed it overnight.
Wusu.
Xu Wusu Gong, Liu Qi.
The original name was Liu Qi, and Taizu gave the name.
The royal family, the nobles, the Cao Gong and the high-level children of the Cao Trade Union, each sent four people to carry the coffin of Wusu Gong.
In the end, the three princes of Zhongshun and 234 were selected, and Jia Hui, the general of the Great Sima, and the three young Gaojue, the four outstanding sons of Cao Gong and the four sons-in-law of the Cao Trade Union, a total of 16 people, all of whom were married.
16 people carried the heavy coffin out of the city, according to the location personally selected by Wu Su Gong, on a small hill by the canal, after a period of ritual, Wu Su Gong's coffin was buried in the ground...
The old man never believed in life all his life, and the set of gods and ghosts was even more hateful, not a single monk or Taoist priest was called, and it was all up to the officials of the Ministry of Rites to preside over the audience.
The funeral is over, and the feast is eaten.
γγγγγγ
Lin Hai, as a salt patrol and an official of the imperial court, is the fifth generation of princes, so he naturally wants to participate in the funeral.
It's just that Jia Hui and his party came too late yesterday and rested early, so they didn't take a look.
At today's funeral, Lin Hai saw his nephew participating in the funeral from afar, and he was always excited.
Brother Hun'er is here, and he is finally saved!
Now, the funeral is over, and Lin Hai also hurriedly walked towards Jia Hui's side, but now that there are many people, he can't squeeze in because of his average physical fitness.
Even when it was time to eat, Jia Hui was still surrounded by a large number of people, and he still couldn't squeeze through, Lin Hai had no choice but to sit quietly on the banquet and wait for the banquet to end.
Because it's a white thing, everyone doesn't want to lose their manners after drinking, so it's just rice wine to drink.
Although he drank a lot, he was not very drunk, and Jia Hui still remained sober.
After dispersing and separating from Chen Si, Jia Hui and his five descendants did not ride a horse, but walked towards Yuelai Building.
Eat a little too much, take a walk and eat.
"Brother Hun?"
Lin Hai caught up, and the name blurted out made Jia Hui's body shock.
Jia Lian also heard a familiar voice and hurriedly looked back.
"Uncle Lin!"
Jia Hui also turned around and recognized the person.
The evil animal Lin Hai who married his best little aunt!
"Uncle Lin!"
"Aunt Lin!"
"Uncle Lin!"
Hearing Jia Lian's salutation, Jia Zhu and Jia Rong also reacted and saluted towards Lin Hai, and the Shi brothers glanced at each other and also saluted to Lin Hai.
"Lin... Uncle! β
Anyway, in the letter sent by my aunt, there is happiness between the lines, this uncle, let's admit it.
Room C on the third floor of Yuelai Building.
There were only three people in the house: Jia Hui, Jia Zhu and Lin Hai.
The remaining offspring were too young, and they were afraid that there would be no one to guard the door, so they rushed back to sleep, and there were guards guarding the door.
"How can this be reasonable, these salt merchants don't have a royal law in their eyes!" After listening to Lin Hai's narration, Jia Zhu couldn't hold back at first, and stood up with a slap on the table.
"Sit down! Frizzy and frizzy, how to make a big deal! Jia Hui reprimanded.
"Big brother! That's our aunt! β
"Sit down! I've known these things for a long time, why do you think I'm bringing so many people here? Is it really a guard? β
Jia Zhu sat down with a look of resentment.
"What? Jinyu, but above..."Lin Hai was first startled when he heard Jia Hui coming with people, and then asked with his hand to the sky.
"Well, the emperor wants their whole family to rush to Huangquan Road in order... However, after all, it is in the country, and the face of the imperial court is still wanted, and it is still necessary to catch them. β
"Okay, great..."Lin Hai's hanging heart let go of most of it, since the emperor has made up his mind and sent his eldest nephew over, then there is nothing to be afraid of.
"But... Jinyu, behind this salt merchant, but..."
"The Faithful King and the Zhen family? It's just a chicken, a dog, and a collusion between soldiers and merchants, which is a stab in the emperor's heart. Now, even if Mrs. Fengsheng is in person, it is not easy to do it! β
Hearing what Jia Hui said, Lin Hai's hanging heart was completely relaxed.
After taking a sip of tea, Lin Hai turned his head to look at Brother Zhu of the second uncle's family.
"Last year, the second brother-in-law wrote a letter, saying that Brother Zhu'er, you also won the lift, and I heard my fellow department in the Ministry of Rites say that the great uncle admires you very much, so he pressed you for a year, how about it, next year Enke can be sure?"
"If you go back to my uncle, there will be no problem next year!" When it comes to raising a career, Jia Zhu is still very confident, even if Uncle Lin is Tanhua? Anzhi I'm not the champion?
"Let's wait until you practice and play for three months..."Jia Hui sipped his tea and hit Jia Zhu.
When Jia Zhu heard his eldest brother's words, he instantly wilted.
"Drill? What drills? Didn't Zhu Ge'er go through the imperial examination? β
"Ah, that's right, he almost didn't survive when he went on the field last year, and when he played, he was carried out by his classmates.
Before the spring of this year, this kid was still sick, and his body and bones were too bad, so the family decided to let this kid go to the military camp to practice for two or three months, not to learn anything, at least to exercise and exercise, not to..."
Jia Hui stopped and said that.
"So that's the case, it's really time to practice." Lin Hai suddenly realized, stroked his beard and said.
Jia Zhu lowered his head in frustration.
"Actually, it's not just this kid who went to the barracks, Brother Lian and Brother Rong, and all the boys in the clan study were thrown into the barracks..."
"By the way, Jinyu, those two boys who came with me are..."
"Those two are the sisters-in-law of the Shi family, the nephews and grandnephews of the old lady, who came with us this time."
"Oh? It seems that the two Shi families have decided to continue to maintain the four families in Jinling..."Lin Hai nodded.
"Yes, but there are only these four families, except for my uncle's Lin family and my father-in-law's Li family, there are no other Jinling families."
Lin Hai also understood why and didn't speak, but Jia Zhu didn't quite understand.
"Uncle, eldest brother, what do you mean that there are only four of us?"
If nothing else, Jia Zhu will be an Enke Jinshi next year, and he is qualified to participate in family affairs, in fact, there is no problem now, but in order not to distract him from the imperial examination, he has not been allowed to participate.
Jia Hui patiently explained to him: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that our Jinling family, which has been established since the founding of the country, as the four leading families, the three generations of my Jia Shiwang family all grew up in the north, and they are no longer regarded as their own people by the Jiangnan clan."
Even the Xue family, who had the money bags of our four families, began to be squeezed out by them. They have moved closer to the Zhen family, ready to support the faithful king to take the heir..."
Poof!
Hearing the word "seizing the heir", Jia Zhu knocked over the teacup in his hand in fright and fell to the ground.
"Big, big brother, you, you won't forget to respect Uncle Jing and Uncle Forgiveness is... It's justβ" Jia Zhu didn't dare to say that word.
"What are you afraid of, since beating him Chen Jingyuan and us to participate in the battle of the west, and relying on the expedition with our brothers, we have been crowned Prince Yiyong, and our family has been tied to him Chen Si.
Especially after Sister Yuan married Chen Si, even your second room was completely on his Chen Si ship, and my uncle would never go to the loyal king of Nalaoshzi, plus the Lin family and our Jia family are in-laws, and they are natural volunteers.
Now, we have no way out, and the Jia family can't stand the consequences of the failure of the second standing.
So far, we are left with nothing left, and we will not move forward! β
Jia Hui's firm words finally made Jia Zhu's worries dissipate a lot.
Also, anyway, he is already tied to the righteous and brave prince, so let people block and kill, and the Buddha will block and kill the Buddha!
Lin Hai refilled Jia Zhu with three cups of tea in a row to calm him down.
At this time, Lin Hai, who was in a good mood, suddenly thought of his wife at home.
"Jinyu, Brother Zhu, they're okay today, right?"
"No, the two cousins of the Shi family have already taken a month off, anyway, this year's autumn season has been canceled because of the matter of Wu Su Gong, and if you take another month off, it must be nothing, I will send a letter to the Shi family tomorrow."
As soon as Lin Hai spoke, Jia Hui knew what he wanted to do.
Lin Hai also looked at the two nephews with a smile on his face.
"Anyway, it's not far from Yangzhou here, let's go back with my uncle and visit Yi Xia and your aunt, okay?"
Thank you for the number and English reward, thank you very much!
Originally, I wanted to come to two shifts today, but something happened temporarily, and I have to get up early tomorrow, so let's have two shifts tomorrow
