The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 155
Baoyu was quite hesitant about whether to go to military training or not.

At first, he was reluctant to go.

Even if he is special, after all, there is also a military camp.This trip will definitely have to suffer.What's more, Ye Du lives in the wilderness, which is very desolate and far away from the city. How can he be so comfortable and casual at home.

Now it is Min Lao Si who is leading the army there, that layman, he gets annoyed whenever he sees him.All day long, his whole body is full of eyes.If you don't mind, ask him to calculate.

He didn't like me before, but now that it's in his hands, what's the point?
Besides, once we got to Yeduju, we had to leave the girls.It's not convenient for me to come back, and the girls can't go there. After a long time, are you still unfamiliar with the girls?
Especially Sister Lin, who used to be fascinated by those crooked poems called Min Laosi, and now Min Lao Si has given her shares. If I am not at home, Min Lao Si will take the opportunity to come back to get close to Sister Lin, it will not be good up.

However, the emperor's imperial decree said that all the children of the aristocratic families of the right age should go, which is not easy to handle.Baoyu went to tell his mother about it, but she didn't dare to agree.Then I went to my ancestor again, who hesitated for a long time, but didn't dare to agree directly.

Mother Jia was naturally unwilling to ask Baoyu to suffer, but this matter was of great importance, and she had to be cautious.

Now that the emperor has just issued an imperial decree, it will be difficult to deal with if someone with a heart follows him.

So he comforted Baoyu and told him to go there first, deal with it for a while, and come back quietly after a period of time when the weather calmed down.

Baoyu originally wanted to use his previous trick of throwing jade and pretending to be stupid, but after Ma Daopo left last time, Jiamu asked someone to prepare a large pot of Eight Immortals Xingshen soup for him, and specially told Xiren to wait for him. Maid, as soon as Baoyu falls ill, no matter whether he wants to or not, he will pour soup immediately.

Because the last time they drank the Eight Immortals Xingshen Soup, the girls had already looked at Baoyu with strange eyes.In those few days, sister Lin even covered her nose whenever she saw Baoyu.Therefore, now Baoyu doesn't dare to throw jade and pretend to be stupid.

Besides, the taste of being stupid.In fact, it is also very uncomfortable.Every day, I am worried about being seen by others. Even if the girls are around, I can't talk, laugh and play with them, which is very uncomfortable.

Finally, what prompted Baoyu to change his mind was the news that Qin Zhong was going too.

Qin Zhong is Qin Ye's son. Although he is not Qin Keqing's younger brother, the relationship between the two is very good.

Because there was nothing to learn in ethnology, and the atmosphere there was not good, so Qin Keqing decided to ask Qin Zhong to train soldiers.The purpose is to ask Qin Zhong to go there to hone his skills.

Most importantly, it was because Jia Min was there.Jia Min can take care of him, or he can ask Qin Zhong to learn something from Jia Min's side. If he gains knowledge and skills, he will have a better future.

Baoyu and Qin Zhong were friends before, now that Qin Zhong has gone, and it is hard to shirk this job, his thoughts come alive.I thought to myself that there are the soldiers of my family, and I will take over the family business in the future, even if they don't dare to do anything to me.

Even though that Min's fourth son was a bit difficult to deal with, but he asked his ancestor to pass a message to him, and he tried not to provoke him, and went somewhere to hang out for a while, and then he would find an excuse to bring him along with Qin Zhong. Come back, that's all.

Even though it is a military camp there, they are all children from aristocratic families, and they are all used to being lazy. When the time comes, the law will not punish the public, so what can he, the fourth brother, do to these people?
On the tenth day of the ninth month of the Bingzi year, the disciples from various prefectures set out for Yeduju.

On the side of Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion are Jia Lian, Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Rong, Qin Zhong, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Jiao Li, Jia Qin, Jia Zhi, Jia Ping, and Xue Pan.

Jia Qiang and others are members of the Jia clan. Jiao Li was originally a servant, but after redeeming himself, he is considered equal to those clan members.Because he is good at economics, Jia Min planned to ask him to take over the military supply in the future, and it was Jia Min who specially asked him to come.

Jiaoli handed over the business affairs to Ping'er, and came happily.

Xue Pan wanted to come by himself.

He was also used to being undisciplined, but Jia Lian and Jia Rong, who were friends with friends, had all left, and he was left alone, so he felt that it was not interesting at all.Thinking of becoming a soldier again, he can still take this opportunity to be majestic. In the future, even if he kills someone or something, he doesn't have to pay for his life, so he will do it by himself.

Because I was willing to come, compared with other people, I was the most relaxed and happy one.

At the gate, people from all walks of life were sent off here.

The old lady, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Qin Keqing, and the girls all came.

Because Jia Min was leading the army, although he knew that he was not easy to get along with, but after all, he was his family, so he was not too worried.

Yesterday when Chen Yejun came, people asked Chen Yejun what Jia Min did in his military training. Chen Yejun looked relaxed and said that he had seen all the military training things Jia Min wrote down. It was nothing more than practicing walking and training. Make a quilt or something.

Who wouldn't walk this way?Do you still need to practice?Do you still need to practice folding quilts?Even if the maids folded the quilts in the past, it would be fine if they folded them a few times by themselves, and there would be no difficulty.

So everyone felt that it was nothing more than that, and they relaxed in their hearts.

Naturally, Jia's mother was the most reluctant to bear Baoyu, so she told Jia Lian.

"When you get there, tell Brother Min to take care of Baoyu, practice walking, just walk, but don't get tired. Li Gui and Mingyan, you two take care of Baoyu for me , otherwise, see if I don't break your legs?"

Wang Xifeng came to see Jia Lian off.She didn't want to come, because last night, she had another fight with Jia Lian.

It turned out that Jia Lian secretly opened a restaurant with Xue Pan outside and asked her to know about it, so she complained about Jia Lian's hiding of private money.

Seeing that everyone else came to see him off today, she had no choice but to come and put on a show for the sake of face.

After talking to Jia Lian in a mild manner, Wang Xifeng came to Baoyu's side, asking this and that, and seemed to be very caring.

Seeing Jia Lian shaking his head, he thought, "This Sister Feng is too snobbish. It is because she saw her ancestors and his wife there that she went to Baoyu to show off and please them."

Yuanyang, Xiren and Qingwen also came, they couldn't talk to the master, so they stood aside.Seeing Xiren's tears, he knew that he was reluctant to part with Baoyu, so Yuanyang made fun of Xiren.

"Since I'm reluctant, why not just follow, so that I can warm the bed at night."

"Who can't bear it? Isn't it because he is worried that Second Master Bao will suffer hardships there. You also know that Fourth Master Min is famous for being cruel, and he is afraid that he will embarrass Second Master there."

Ever since Qingwen came to Jia Min's place, she never gave Jia Min a good face.I thought Jia Min would hate her because of this, so he drove her back, so that he could go back to Baoyu.

Unexpectedly, Jia Min never took these things seriously.He also asked her to be in charge of beating the locks.Now that Ping'er is outside, except for Feng Sanniang, she has the final say on this plan.In this way, Jia Min's various benefits come to mind.

Qingwen was already at odds with Xiren, but now seeing Xiren talking about her master Jia Min in front of Yuanyang, she was unhappy.She is sharp-tongued and has always been unforgiving, how can she bear it?
"If you want to say that our fourth master is indeed a cruel one. But if you earn money, if you don't keep it, you will cruelly hand it over to the mansion. If you don't make money yourself, you will call it down cruelly." People come to make some money. I am busy with the bus and carriage business, and then cruelly distributed the shares to the girls. This is the first time I have seen such a cruel master. I wish there were such cruel masters in this house. .”

The cynical Qingwen's words immediately confuse Xiren.

In fact, when Xiren said that Jia Min was cruel, he just said it casually.On weekdays, she has always been the most measured.He seldom discusses the rights and wrongs of his master.It's just that when Baoyu left today, he slipped his words for a while, but Qingwen caught the conversation unexpectedly.

Yuanyang saw that the situation was not good, so she quickly pulled Qingwen aside, pushed Qingwen to tell her to go back, and then came back to comfort Xiren.

Here Baoyu sees that all the girls have come, especially Daiyu, who seems to be a little bit reluctant, and regrets it in his heart.However, the matter has come to this point, and there is really no way to go back on it, so I have no choice but to bite the bullet and support it.But I made a plan in my heart. When I got there, I settled down and came back to see the girls as soon as possible.

Xue Pan, on the other hand, took it easy and continued to comfort Aunt Xue.

"Brother, when you get there, you must listen to Brother Min. Although Brother Min is cold-faced, he has a good heart. If someone asks Brother to do something, Brother must be careful and always listen to Brother Min. If so, it is correct.”

Baochai had already expected that Baoyu would have conflicts with Jia Min when he left.Of course, she can't take care of other people's affairs, but her own brother still needs to give a few words of advice.

What she meant was, when you get there, listen to Jia Min and don't mix with Baoyu and the others.After all, this is not my home, and it is not a good thing to be involved in their disputes.

Xue Pan didn't have the time to think about these things at this time, besides, after arriving at Jia's mansion, he had long regarded this place as his home, and regarded Jia Lian, Baoyu and others as his buddies.All he wanted was to be a soldier to find something new, and he promised his sister, but he didn't think about it at all.

Xue Pan is also good at Longyang. When he was still in the ethnology, he always thought about Qin Zhong.It's just that one didn't succeed.Seeing that Qin Zhong was gone now, his heart was already itching, but he just kept looking at Qin Zhong with his thief eyes from time to time.

"It's time, let's go."

As Jia Lian said, he got on his horse and left first.

Baoyu glanced at Daiyu again. Although he was reluctant to part with her, he had no choice but to mount his horse.

"You all go back. This time I go, I will definitely come back with a whole body of skills, so that I can honor my ancestors."

After Baoyu confessed this decent sentence, he felt a little more comfortable in his heart, so he rode his horse and chased after him.

His long follower Li Gui and young servant Mingyan also followed.
