Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 8

"No."

Feng Yibo shook his head.

"Just take good care of her. You don't need to ask about other things. I will send her back to the house as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow."

Although she didn't explain it, Aunt Meng understood most of it, and she was a little disappointed.

"At first, Miss Xue looks like a fairy. It's not bad to be the mistress of our family, but it's a pity."

Feng Yibo naturally understood Aunt Meng's concern for him, and his heart was also moved.

But in the end, he shook his head: "She is the eldest lady of the Xue family in Jinling, and our family's family status is not high."

Aunt Meng's eyes lit up, but she could hear a trace of unwillingness.

Then he tentatively said: "Then when my brother becomes a Jinshi..."

As one of the four major families, although the Xue family is ranked at the bottom, it is too deeply involved with such old nobles as the Wang family and the Jia family.

Although the original book did not explicitly say so, there are several prophecies like "the white land is so clean".

Even if it is not a major crime, otherwise Jia Lan will not be able to pass the political trial if he finally wants to become an official.

But Feng Yibo still doesn't understand the specific situation, so naturally he can't draw conclusions lightly.

What's more, he didn't feel that if his body shook, the other party would marry him.

Of course, he didn't have to explain to Hou Zhai.

He said directly: "I don't want to have any connection with such a family yet."

Although she didn't understand the true meaning, Aunt Meng could hear Feng Yibo's estrangement.

She had some ideas in her mind, and only hesitated: "Then me?"

"Entertain with all your heart, don't be rude."

Aunt Meng nodded when she got the answer.

"Alright Brother Yuan, the old lady understands."

…………

The name Jinling comes from the Jinling town built by King Xiongshang of Chuwei in Shishicheng.

It has been the center of Jiangnan since ancient times.

There are not only the victories of the Six Dynasties and the connection between Wu and Chu, but also the prosperity of luxury and gold, and Qinhuai romance.

Moreover, it is also the land of Longxing in this dynasty.

It was here that Emperor Taizu raised his troops and defeated the main force of the Tartars in one fell swoop after crossing the river.

Afterwards, he made a vigorous effort to set the world and become a generation of heroes.

As the core of the south of the Yangtze River and the rear of the country, Jinling naturally became the capital in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Later, the world was settled, especially the Northland was completely included in the bag.

In order to stabilize the situation, a new capital was built in the north, and most of the nobles also moved there.

Although Jinling has become the capital, it still has an irreplaceable position in various aspects such as politics, economy, culture and education.

Even Emperor Taizu, who moved the capital at the beginning, remembered the old days as he got older.

This was the grand occasion of the six southern tours.

Of course, these allusions are well known in Jinling, so there is no need to mention them.

Simply speaking, Jinling City, as an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, is naturally high and deep.

In the hearts of most people, even if there are millions of soldiers, it may not be easy to win.

However, a group of Japanese pirates with more than a hundred people came up with the idea here.

As the supreme leader of this band of Japanese pirates, Da Qiao Goro was thinking about his next plan.

This Zhuangzi was killed and looted, at least in a short period of time, there is no need to worry about leaking news and eating.

However, the dispatched secret work has not returned for a long time, which makes him worry about whether the next plan will be smooth.

The encirclement and suppression by the officers and soldiers was second.

Even if tens of thousands of officers and soldiers come, Da Qiao Wulang feels that they are not incapable of breaking through.

If it is less, it can even defeat the opponent.

Except for the navy that caused them heavy losses at the beginning, they have not encountered any decent resistance after logging in.

But after all, in a big city like Jinling City, if there is no internal support, I am afraid that with more than a hundred of them, it will be difficult to do anything.

It is also easy to be caught by the navy who rushed over.

It turned out that this group of Japanese pirates was the lost Japanese pirates who were scattered by the imperial navy and encountered a storm and landed in Yu County.

At first they thought it was bad luck, because they encountered officers and soldiers as soon as they landed.

Da Qiao Wulang felt that they were going to be wiped out, so he led people to meet them head-on with the determination to die.

But it was just a charge, and more than a thousand officers and soldiers on the opposite side scattered and fled.

The vulnerability of the officers and soldiers made these Japanese pirates who survived the catastrophe a little unbelievable.

Afterwards, with the attitude of giving it a try, they raided Kuaiji.

Officers and soldiers guarding the city.

Ran.

They succeeded in looting, but they didn't dare to stay longer.

It also flowed to the vicinity of Hangzhou, followed by several counties in Huizhou, to Jixi and Jingde.

The massacre passed through Jing County, went to Nanling, arrived at Wuhu, and plundered Taiping Mansion.

Successful looting again and again, and confrontation with officers and soldiers again and again, made them full of confidence.

No way, except for the Taihu Navy who defeated them at the beginning, none of the officers and soldiers they encountered afterwards could fight!

It was this kind of encounter that made Daqiao Wulang want to make a big ticket, and then try to find a way to go to the beach to find an opportunity to seize the boat.

So, they thought of the center of Jiangnan.

The richest Jinling!

the other side.

It is said that there are only a hundred people, and the Nanjing Jingying who received the expedition order did not take it seriously.

Even fought.

In the peaceful years, there were not many opportunities for such meritorious deeds.

In the end, Commander Mu Kun appointed his confidant Qianhu Liu Zhao.

He wasn't sent just because he was a confidant.

It's also because among the five thousand households under his command, only Liu Zhao has barely enough troops, and he can practice once or twice a month.

In Mu Kun's view, this is the absolute elite in the entire Jiangnan.

Liu Zhao thought so too, until the moment he faced the Japanese pirates.

He understood that the only difference between the troops he brought and the mob was that they were fully equipped.

Why did you lose?
Liu Zhao felt unwilling.

Obviously there are many people here!
But only one face-to-face, the front team fell down a row of people.

There are only a few dozen at most.

The whole team began to crumble.

Then, even more inexplicably, 1000 troops were chased and hacked by more than 100 thieves.

Do you believe it?
Liu Zhao rode his horse and ran desperately towards Jinling, the fear in his heart could not dissipate for a long time.

But what to do?
I just fled back in such a haste, fearing that I would lose my job.

Even lose his head!
Just before the entire army was defeated, he had tried his best to organize the army.

But there were only a hundred people gathered around him, and they were scattered by the collapsed subordinates in an instant.

If the team is dispersed, they can still gather, but if the hearts of the people are dispersed, the team is gone!

Liu Zhao, who fled in a panic, lost his mind for a moment.

I didn't notice it for a while, the horse that sat down was already exhausted.

With his armor and his own fat, he weighed more than 200 catties.

Although the sitting horse looked at Shen Jun, it was also a good-looking one.

At this time, one person and one horse have been walking and running for several hours.

Especially the escape part.

After running for more than ten miles, his flattery was almost smashed.

Now Liu Zhao was thinking about how to deal with it, and his hands stopped.

The horse's speed gradually slowed down.

It was okay to be tense at first, but when the slack came down, the horse lost its strength.

Liu Zhao was thrown out when his front legs gave way.

"Crash!"

A suit of armor hurt him so much.

"Hey~~~!"

The war horse found that it was much more relaxed, and struggled to get up, then raised its hooves and followed the official road, and there was a puff of smoke.

Disappear.

Now Liu Zhao was dumbfounded!
Going back to Jinling can save his life at least, but if he is caught up by Japanese pirates, his head will not be safe.

How to do?
He tried to move, but found that his leg was still broken.

This time I didn't run away!
"I said I saw someone fall from a horse here! It's here!"

Just when Liu Zhao was thinking that the Japanese pirates would not come after him when it was dark, two men came up to him.

"It's a soldier!"

"Not dead?"

What's with this lost tone?

Liu Zhao shivered.
