The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 186
Jia Huan quickly entered the ancestral hall. The first thing he saw was the row of seriously injured salt soldiers lying on the ground. More than half of them had lost their voices. He couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart. Then he saw that Lin Ruhai and Daiyu and his daughter were all safe. , he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Uncle, Master Zhang, Jia Huan is fortunate to have fulfilled his duty and has invited reinforcements to defeat the pirates. Everyone is safe!"

As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when happy events happen. Lin Ruhai, who was already extremely weak, now survived the disaster and his condition has improved significantly. He nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, brother Huan, thank you for your hard work. Is it going smoothly along the way?"

"We have encountered some twists and turns. It is inconvenient at this time. I will report it to my uncle in detail after Huan'er has dealt with the matter at hand." Jia Huan replied in an orderly manner.

"Okay!" Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded. He valued his nephew-in-law more and more now. He was the best choice in terms of talent, knowledge, and character. He also had strong ability to do things at a young age. It is not impossible to stand alone, and it is definitely not a thing in the pool. In time, it is not impossible to be a minister, and even to join the cabinet to worship the prime minister. Unfortunately, his brother-in-law Jia Zheng is too rigid, and the Wang family is not broad-minded enough. Otherwise, the Jia family can be regarded as a successor. If there are people, the lintel will definitely be improved to a higher level.

At this time, Zhang Yongdong, the salt transport envoy, stroked his beard and praised: "Brother Huan single-handedly invited reinforcements to save everyone this time. It is true that since ancient times, it is difficult for a young man to be a hero, and his future is terrible. It really puts us useless old men to shame." .”

"Zhang Damiao praised, Jia Huan just relied on luck." Jia Huan said hurriedly.

Zhang Dongdong smiled and asked: "Without courage, you can't achieve anything by luck alone. Brother Huan is so humble. I wonder which general is coming from outside?"

"Feng Ziying, the deputy Qianhu of Yuntiguan Qianhu," Jia Huan replied.

Lin Ruhai's heart moved, and she subconsciously said: "It turns out to be him."

Zhang Tongdong's eyes flashed and he said in surprise: "It turns out he is the son of Shenwu General Feng Tang. I remember that the Qianhu at Yunti Pass Qianhu Station is Luo Bingzhang. Is it possible that Luo Qianhu didn't come?"

Jia Huan replied: "This matter is a long story. The battle is not over yet. I will explain it to Mr. Zhang when Feng Qianhu returns with his troops."

Zhang Yitong said oh and said no more.

Only now did Jia Huan have time to cast his gaze on Lin Daiyu, who had pulsating eyes. Since he came in, her eyes had not left him for a moment. At this time, her eyes were still filled with tears and joy, and there seemed to be a kind of saying in them. Unexplained emotions.

Jia Huan's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably. Sister Lin's eyes were a bit lethal. She stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Sister Lin, are you okay?"

Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Huan's scholar's blouse, which had almost become strips of cloth, and wanted to laugh. But when she saw the wounds on Jia Huanjun's face made by thorns and the large blood stains on his trouser legs, I felt a little distressed and wanted to cry, so I lowered my head and said, "Just ask me, are you injured?"

Jia Huan smiled and said, "I'm fine."

"You still say it's okay, but you're already a mess." Lin Daiyu said angrily, "Where did the blood over there come from?"

Jia Huan felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Those who were scratched by the thorns are just skin wounds and are not harmful. Well, you guys stay here for a while. I will talk to you when I'm done."

"Well, be careful. There might be thieves hiding outside. Be careful to attack and hurt people." Lin Daiyu warned with a concerned look on her face.

Jia Huan nodded, handed a water bag and the dry food he brought to Xue Yan, then turned and walked towards the door, suddenly turned around and walked back quickly, stretched out his hand towards Lin Daiyu, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, Lin Sister, you'd better return the dagger to me first, so as not to accidentally scratch yourself." Lin Daiyu's face became hot and she spat: "I am a fool, why would I scratch myself even if it's just a good thing?"

Lin Daiyu said this, but she obediently returned the dagger to Jia Huan. The latter took it and said with a smile: "Just in case!" After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the door.

Lin Daiyu looked at the torn strips of cloth fluttering in the wind on Jia Huan's buttocks, feeling warm and wanting to laugh. Her nose couldn't help but feel a little sore. It was really hard for him. She escaped in the dark and invited reinforcements. She experienced many dangers during the process. And difficult!

"Master Huan is so pitiful. His gown is in such a state of tatters and his face is scratched. It doesn't make people laugh or feel sad!" Xue Yan said to herself, and suddenly she saw Lin Daiyu's eyes looking strangely. Looking at herself, she couldn't help but blush on her face. She hurriedly opened the water bag and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Girl, drink some water quickly."

"Give me something to drink first, sir." Lin Daiyu ordered.

As soon as the words were spoken, several Jin soldiers came in, holding water bags and dry food in their hands. They respectfully came to Lin Ruhai and Zhang Yongdong and saluted: "See Master Lin and Master Zhang, Mr. Huan ordered his subordinates to give them to you." Sir, bring some food in."

Lin Ruhai and Zhang Yongdong nodded in thanks, took the water and dry food and started eating. They were both starving.

After these Jin soldiers delivered water and food, two of them stood guard at the door with knives, and the other two were responsible for treating the still-living salt soldiers. The salt soldiers who had no vital signs were carried to the yard for centralized treatment.Soon, the ancestral hall was cleaned up, even the blood stains were removed, and it became much cleaner instantly. This was obviously done under Jia Huan's orders.

Zhang Tongtong was chewing dry food and said jokingly: "Brother Huan may be young, but he is full of talent and learning, and he is also prudent and considerate of everything. Brother Ruhai, you have a good nephew. His future is limitless. Why don't you marry me?" Are you looking for a quick son-in-law?"

Lin Daiyu's pretty face turned red immediately, and she said angrily: "Uncle Zhang is old and disrespectful, so he only has enough to eat and drink, so he takes advantage of others for fun."

Lin Ruhai and Zhang Yongtong were officials in Yangzhou together, and they were superiors and subordinates in the same system, so the two families were quite familiar with each other. When Lin Daiyu's mother Jia Min was still alive, the female relatives of the two families often communicated with each other, so Zhang Yongtong could be regarded as watching Lin Daiyu since she was a child. For grown-up elders, it is not out of line to make such a joke.

Zhang Tongtong laughed and said: "If Miss Yu'er doesn't like Brother Zhonghuan, then let's just get married to the Zhang and Lin families. How about you choose the son of our Zhang family?"

"Uncle Zhang is getting more and more confused!" Lin Daiyu quickly covered her ears and ran to the ear room.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Yu'er, this girl is thin-skinned and thoughtful. Brother Chengliang, please stop teasing her."

Zhang Dongdong smiled and said: "After this disaster, I am just joking out of joy. But to be honest, Brother Huan is really good. Brother Ruhai should really consider it. If not, don't blame me for attacking first, haha !”

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word. Although he was optimistic about Jia Huan, after all, he only had one woman, whom he regarded as the apple of his eye. Marriage was a matter of a lifetime, so how could it be a trivial matter?Naturally, we have to be more cautious, and since my daughter is still young, there is no need to worry.
