The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 166 Baochai and Keqing ([-])
The reason why the old lady sent Baochai and Qin Keqing was after some consideration.

The last time Wang Xifeng came here but returned without success, naturally he would not say anything good when he returned.Even if the old lady was dissatisfied with Jia Min, she would not listen to what Wang Xifeng said.

Now that the talents in Jia's mansion are withered, no one can take up the job of training soldiers except Jia Min.This is not only a question of the ability to govern the army, but more importantly, how to solve the problem of military expenditure.

Military spending is a bigger hole than a bus, and more money needs to be filled into it.The bus and horse-drawn carriage can still give some returns, but the government soldiers are purely expendable items.Without Jia Min's ability to make money, it would be impossible to support it.

Mother Jia knew that Wang Xifeng had a bad relationship with Jia Min, so she sent Baochai and Qin Keqing.

Both Baochai and Keqing are intelligent people, how could they not understand Jiamu's intentions?
They all have a deep understanding of Jia Min.Knowing that Jia Min is leading the army, he will definitely strengthen his training.So, before you come, you are already prepared.

However, after hearing what Baoyu and others said, I was still very surprised.

In just a few days, the men in the mansion have been tortured like this, especially Baoyu, who has almost become a useless person.

Soldiers need to be practiced, but isn't that a bit too ruthless?If the ancestors, the first master, and the second master knew about it, would they agree?

Will people be able to bear it if they continue to practice like this?

"This goddamn fourth brother Min, he doesn't practice military training all day long, he just knows how to put on airs. If nothing else, let's just talk about the walks he practiced. This man is born, except for the paralyzed and lame, no one knows how to walk. ? Still practicing every day? Isn’t this a waste of effort?”

"If you don't practice bow, horse and sword, if you go to the battlefield in the future, you will use the aisle to kill the enemy. Isn't it just a target for others? And what is even more outrageous, practice folding quilts. When you go to the battlefield, everyone will go to make quilts , can kill all the enemies? Even if I come to lead the army, I will not do such absurd things. If this matter gets out, the face of our mansion will be called him. Lost it all?"

"Look, that's the four-folded quilt of Mr. Min. This quilt is for covering, not for decoration? It's square, what's the use? Come on, I'll show you again Look at that cage."

Baochai and Qin Keqing were hesitating, Baoyu got up, took Baochai and left.Baochai was helpless, and hastily freed her hand.Seeing that Baoyu was about to pull again, he followed him.Seeing Baochai go, Qin Keqing followed.

When he got to the cage, Baoyu got into the cage by himself.

"Look, here, you can't stand, you can't lie down, you can't live, you can't die. Not only me, Brother Rong, Brother Xue, Brother Huan, are all imprisoned here."

When Baoyu came out, he happened to see Jia Huan doing push-ups on one side of the practice queue, apparently because of something, he was punished again.

"Look over there, the third brother Huan was punished again. This goddamn fourth brother Ming knows to torment our own family. These days, those who are locked in cages and not given food are all members of our own family. On the contrary, none of those outsiders were punished."

Baoyu was talking long-windedly, and Baochai and Qin Keqing summed up Baoyu's words in their hearts.

First of all, Jia Min doesn't know how to train soldiers at all, and only puts on some flashy airs.

Second, Jia Min hates the people in the house, and he specializes in punishing his own family members, but he is kind to outsiders.

Third, other people in the house asked him for food, but he refused to give him, so he isolated Baoyu and deliberately ignored him.And all of this was instigated by Jia Min behind the scenes.

Fourth, Baoyu will not stay here any longer and will go back to the mansion.

Fifth, the people in the mansion are not willing to stay here anymore, so only outsiders are left here.

The ancestor is still waiting for Xin'er at home?How can they tell their ancestors when they go back?
Now that Baoyu said that he was going back when he died, how could this be said to Jia Min?

Do other people in the mansion also want to go back?What if everyone in the house goes back?What about Jia Min?How can this government soldier continue to practice?
Although they don't understand military training, they still know some common sense.Practice walking and folding quilts, can you fight?

Baochai and Qin Keqing were in a dilemma.They regret coming here now.

At noon, according to Jia Min's arrangement, Wu Hongmei specially arranged three tables for Jia's family in a single room. As for how they sat, she didn't care, they could arrange it however they wanted.

There are ten dishes at each table, Baochai and Qin Keqing came to give them a face, and they also called the Jia family to take this opportunity to improve the food.Others still have one meal and one dish.

Jia Min didn't go there either, Wu Hongmei sent him a bowl of rice and two dishes, and ate in the study by herself.

In the private room, Baoyu was the most active.After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, I became even more excited.

"I'm sure I won't stay here anymore. If I stay like this, I'll be killed by Min Laosi sooner or later. I advise you not to stay here anymore. What kind of soldiers can you train like Min Lao Si? ?”

"Simply let's all go back and dismantle Fourth Min's platform, and see if he dares to treat our family badly in the future? Brother Lian, tell me, can you go?"

Seeing that Baoyu asked him, Jia Lian hesitated.

Of course he didn't want to stay here.However, he thought more about it.

If all the people in Jia's mansion left, the military training would not be able to continue.But what about the emperor's errand?Starting from scratch, besides Min Laosi, who else can afford this job?

Besides, will Fourth Min let him go?This is where Min Lao Si has the final say.Without him, I can't even get out of the gate.

Seeing Jia Lian's silence, Baoyu turned to Xue Pan again.

"Brother Xue, it was wrong for me to hit you that day. But you also hit me. Besides, you shouldn't ask me for food. Even if you are hungry, you can bear it and pass it? That matter, let's just forget about it." It's even. Now, let me ask you, can you go?"

"I'm telling you, let's go together this time. Seeing that he was outraged by the public, Fourth Min didn't dare to stop us. Let's go back and live happily every day. Why do we have to suffer so much here? Suffer such crimes ?”

You bastard Jia Baoyu, you are still hungry and just bear it and pass it. You eat and sleep all day, and eat and sleep, why can't you bear it for a while?However, since you are taking the lead today, this matter is over.

"I'm leaving and I won't stay here any longer."

Xue Pan made up his mind.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense, this is a big matter, let's talk about it later."

Seeing that the situation is not good, Baochai hastily stopped Xue Pan.

"Sister, I'm surprised. When I wanted to come, you didn't let me come. Now I'm going back, but you don't let me come back. What's the reason? This time, I won't listen to you , I must go back. Not only I want to go back, but Brother Rong and Brother Huan also want to go back. You say, don’t you?”

"Yes, the two of us are going back too."

"Okay, we now have four people. Brother Qiang, are you going back?"

Baoyu turned to Jia Qiang again.

Now, Jia Lian did not say to leave, nor did he say that he would not leave.I, Jia Rong, and Jia Huan, the main masters, decided to leave, and the rest of the clansmen naturally had to follow suit.

Unexpectedly, Jia Qiang refused.

"I won't leave. Second Uncle Bao, I advise you not to leave either. If Fourth Uncle Min disagrees, you won't be able to leave either."

Baoyu automatically ignored Jia Min's obstacle, so he turned to Qin Zhong.

"Qin Zhong, you can go too, let's go back to Huizu."

"I'm not going. I think it's good to be here."

When Qin Zhong said this, Qin Keqing immediately felt relieved.

Seeing Qin Zhong suffering here, she certainly felt uncomfortable.However, if Qin Zhong left, she would feel bad for Jia Min.She was the one who entrusted Qin Zhong to Jia Min at the beginning, if Qin Zhong left like this, she felt unable to explain to Jia Min.

After coming here, after listening to what Baoyu said, I began to feel that there was some truth in it, but after listening to it a lot, I heard many flaws and faults.

Second Uncle Bao said all that was wrong about others, but he was the only one who was right about everything.But after a careful taste, his reasons are all untenable.

It's fine if you want to go back yourself, but you actually incite others to go too?On the surface, it seems that you are dismantling Fourth Uncle Min's platform, but in fact, aren't you dismantling the mansion's platform?If all the people in the mansion left, how would the soldiers practice?
Besides, it's only been a few days of practice, how do you know that Fourth Uncle Min is no longer good?It is said that strictness is love and leniency is harm. Isn't this the same reason for military training?

Fourth Uncle Min has always done things properly, and it must be reasonable to do so now.

As for Jia Rong's fate, Qin Keqing didn't care at all.Ever since Jia Zhen harassed her and Jia Rong was indifferent and even conniving, Qin Keqing was completely disappointed in Jia Rong.

Jia Qiang and Qin Zhong's refusal did not let Baoyu give up.

"Second brother Lian, have you thought about it yet? Come back with us."

Jia Lian also thought about it.

"Of course I don't want to be here, but if I go back, how can I explain to my ancestors? Besides, will my fourth brother Min let me go? So, if my ancestors tell me to go back, I will go back. If Min Fourth brother told me to go back, so I will go back."

Jia Lian's consideration is still very careful.In a sense, it also makes sense.

However, Baoyu is an idiot, neither having the depth of thought nor the patience to read Jia Lian's words in detail.

Now, as long as it can tear down Min's Fourth's platform, he is very happy to vent himself, and he will do whatever he is asked to do.

"Brother Yun, how many of you are there?"

Although Jia Yun, Jia Qin, Jia Zhi, and Jia Ping had never been in a cage, they were punished for stopping meals.Although he also has various dissatisfaction with Jia Min, he is still very cautious about leaving.

Although they are members of the Jia family, they are not directly related to the Rongning Second Mansion, so their status naturally cannot be compared with Baoyu, Jia Rong and others.

If they really made up their minds to leave, they still need to weigh it carefully.
