The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 159
"Sister Wu, please do something."

When Wu Hongmei saw it was Jia Lian, she stopped.

"Hey, isn't this Lian's second master? Why are you called eldest sister? You are a master and I am a commoner. I dare not be so. What's the matter?"

"We have a person here who has been locked in a cage today and hasn't eaten yet. Please ask Sister Wu to get some food. We can give you some money."

"Hey, you're talking about the son who was born with jade in his mouth, right? If you have jade in your mouth, then eat jade, what do you do for dinner? Besides, fourth master Min has something to say, we are not allowed to help anyone buy things , If I buy something for you, am I asking for trouble? You don’t eat a good meal, but you insist on eating a small stove. Do you think this is still in your mansion? Save yourself as soon as possible, I’m going to feed the pigs.”

Wu Hongmei was gone, and she didn't forget to talk while walking.

"I feed pigs, not people. Ask me to get you food, so what have you become?"

Jia Lian didn't get things done, and was robbed again, and he felt extremely annoyed.I wish I could rush out and kill that shrew.

However, now that people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, so they had no choice but to endure it, and sat down on the bed dejectedly.

Baoyu didn't give up, so he sat up from the bed.He took out the psychic gem from his pocket.

"Mingyan, come here, don't you even ignore me?"

Mingyan has been warned not to serve Baoyu any longer.However, he has also followed Baoyu since he was a child, and he still has some feelings.Coupled with the warning from the ancestors when he came, he was afraid of going back in the future. If Baoyu sued, the ancestors would not be able to spare themselves.

In desperation, he came here.

"You go to the soldier, put this jade with him, and ask him to bring me some food, not too much, just enough for me to eat alone. Tomorrow, tell him to go to the mansion to find the old ancestor to get it. Once you have paid the silver, just return the jade to me."

Mingyan hesitated for a while, looked at Jia Lian, then at Jia Rong, asking them to come up with an idea.

They heard Baoyu say that they were very happy at first, thinking that as long as the money is spent, there is no one in the world who doesn't love money, and someone will buy food for him.

However, as soon as Baoyu said that he could just buy his own, his heart sank.Xindao: We all didn't eat, so you just take care of yourself?
Seeing Jia Lian and Jia Rong's silence and unfriendly expressions, Mingyan also knew that it must be because of Baoyu's words that they had offended them.So, I had no choice but to go to the door and look for the sentinel.

Originally thought that the sentry would scold him again, but unexpectedly, this time the sentry was very kind.

He took Yu and said, "I'm going to ask our leader Lin Jun for instructions."There will be good news for you.

Soon, Lin Dajiang came with two soldiers.

"Are you serving Jia Baoyu?"

Lin Dajiang asked Mingyan with a smile.

Jia Baoyu?Mingyan didn't understand all of a sudden, he was always called the second master, and he was not used to being called "Jia Baoyu".

"Yes, I'm the one who's serving, and I hope Chief Lin Jun will take care of him."

"Okay, I will take care of you. There are too many people in this room and it's too crowded. Tonight, I'll find you a private room to cool off. Someone, put him in a cage."

When two soldiers came up, they couldn't help but drag Mingyan away and put him in a cage.

Lin Dajiang approached Baoyu's bed and threw Tongling Baoyu on the bed.

"Put away your jade. Since you have the ability not to eat, why bother to buy it? I always heard that you are a waste, but now it seems that you are indeed so."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Li Gui again.

"You are Jia Baoyu's long-term follower, right? I warn you, if you dare to serve Jia Baoyu again, Mingyan will be your fate."

After all, Li Gui was older and more experienced.He promised again and again, and pretended to be embarrassed on his face, but he was happy in his heart.Xin Dao said that this time people said so in person, and there is another example of Mingyan, this second master Bao probably won't support me anymore.

When Baoyu saw that Mingyan was locked in, he was at a loss.Seeing Lin Dajiang coming, he became even more frightened, thinking that he was here to arrest him, so he was locked in too.

He has tasted the taste of the cage.I just felt that my body was shaking, and I couldn't help but sweated on my body.Seeing that Lin Dajiang left with just a warning, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Baoyu was deflated, Jia Lian and Jia Rong looked at each other, gloating in their hearts, thinking that Baoyu deserved it.He also heard Lin Dajiang say that Baoyu is a waste, and he felt quite the same in his heart.

Lin Dajiang came out of the dormitory and went directly to Jia Min's study.Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan, and Jiao Li were all there, drinking tea and eating snacks.

"This Jia Baoyu, everyone said that his psychic jade was his lifeblood, and now he is about to be taken out for a meal. It really is an idiot. Fourth Master Min, I think it's better to tell him to go back as soon as possible. In the future, when he goes to the battlefield, he must be someone who defected to the enemy and rebelled."

Lin Dajiang said with contempt on his face.

"This Baoyu is really true. At this moment, he is still putting on airs of his master. It's just that Mingyan has suffered for him for nothing."

Chen Yejun said.

"Well, it's not all Baoyu's fault. Since he was a child, he stretched out his hands for clothes and opened his mouth for food. He was used to being served by others, and he himself can't do anything. When he encountered such a situation, he naturally turned to others."

Jiao Li was more sympathetic to Baoyu.

"It's enough to lock Mingyan for two hours, free up that cage, and wait to lock someone else up tonight."

Jia Min said with a smile, with a meaningful tone.

"Still shutting down people tonight? Don't let them sleep?"

Wei Ruolan felt very strange, not knowing why Jia Min said that.

"It's not that I don't let them sleep, it's that they don't sleep. Dajiang, send a few people to guard the kitchen and storage room. They will steal things tonight. If they catch them, they will be locked in a cage."

"Fourth Master Min, how did you know they would steal things? I see you are reading "Three Lives" and "Da Liu Ren", which are all fortune-telling books. Could it be that you can pinch and count?"

"San Ming Tong Hui" is a book about horoscopes, and "Da Liu Ren" is also a book about fortune-telling, but its application is not limited to fortune-telling.It can be used in Fengshui, measuring things, finding people, finding things, measuring house scenery, and even in marching and fighting.

Zhuge Liang pinched his fingers and counted, and Liu Bowen was able to predict the enemy's plan ahead of him. In many cases, he used the method of Da Liuren.

Jia Min's grandfather in his previous life was a famous fortune teller, and he wanted Jia Min to inherit his mantle, so he asked Jia Min to memorize a lot of formulas from fortune-telling books since he was a child.It was only because of his mother's firm opposition that Jia Min did not engage in this industry, but embarked on the road of studying and joining the army.

However, he didn't predict that Jia Lian and the others would steal things tonight.This is just his own previous life experience.

When he was a soldier, he also experienced such a thing. He couldn't bear the hunger at night, so he went to the kitchen to steal food.

They themselves think they are very smart, but in fact, such things happen almost every time during training, and the officers have long known this rule, so they always catch it right every time.

Jia Lian and the others were hungry all day, and they couldn't escape this way.This has nothing to do with character, it's just a survival instinct.This is especially true for these pampered and spoiled sons and daughters.

"It would be interesting if you really went to steal it, but I don't know what will happen to these masters after they are arrested? At that time, it would be disrespectful."

"Their problem now lies in their dignity. If they want to pass this level, they must completely break their dignity, otherwise, they will never be able to pass this level."

"Do you have to lose face? This is too much, brother Min, oh no, sir. You know, we people live a decent life."

Chen Yejun was still puzzled by Jia Min's words.

"Brother Chen, that's not called decency, it's just vanity. Oh, forget it, it's too complicated to talk about, let's talk about it later. Anyway, the purpose now is to get them to throw away their decency and let them know , I am actually nothing, just a pile of garbage."

"However, this is really hard for them."

Are you still complaining about this little thing?This is just the beginning, the real suffering is still to come.

Do you know what devil training is, and what is hell week?The training I went through scares you to death.Where would it be that you guys can imagine?

Forget it, let's take it step by step, and now I tell them, they don't believe it, and it scares them away.

Inside the dormitory, Xue Pan quietly called Jia Rong aside.Now, Xue Pan is too hungry.

At first, he was still fantasizing that Jia Min would take pity on them, maybe hold them back for a while, and then bring them food.However, it was already Xu time, and it seemed that he was about to go to bed, but there was still no movement, so he gave up hope.So I came up with the idea of ​​stealing food in the kitchen.

Jia Rong also happened to have this idea, and the two hit it off and settled down.Just afraid of too many bad things.Since I am afraid that people will talk too much, it will be exposed in the future.I'm also afraid that I won't be able to steal so many things, and there won't be enough points at that time.So I thought that only Raja Lian would join the gang.

One is that Jia Lian is closer and more reliable, and the other is that there can be one more lookout. Three people are just right.

When Jia Lian heard this, he hesitated for a while, but he still couldn't let go of his face.

"If someone catches him, he will lose all face."

"Second Brother Lian, don't worry, who will watch it in the middle of the night, when the time comes, everyone will sleep like a dead pig, and who would have thought that respectable people like us would steal food? "

What Xue Pan said was full of confidence.

"Yes, Second Uncle Lian, we went there quietly, and we ate the food quietly. Who would know when it got into our stomachs? Even if they find out tomorrow morning, we'll just refuse to admit it." , They can still cut our stomachs open?"

Although Jia Lian felt that stealing was disgraceful, the feeling of his stomach growling was really uncomfortable, and he also felt that what the two said was reasonable, so he agreed.
