The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 363 I'm afraid we will steal his limelight

Mother Jia and others were waiting for news in Rongxi Hall, when Jia Zheng and others came back humming with anger.

"Brother Ming, are you back?"

Mother Jia was still in a hurry.

Although she was dissatisfied with Jia Min's actions in the matter of Baoyu and others going to Bu Kui, Jia Min was now the pillar of the Jia family after all, and she still didn't want any problems with him.

"This bastard really pissed me off. I can't control him anymore, whoever wants to control him."

After Jia Zheng finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

"What the hell is going on?"

Only then did Jia Amnesty tell the story.

"Hey, this brother Ming. If this is the case, won't it embarrass the emperor? Even if the emperor wants to see him, he will not see him. After all, he is still young."

"Actually, it has nothing to do with age. It's always that he has done something in the mansion in the past two years, and he is arrogant. If you are young, we are about the same age. Why didn't we do such absurd things?" thing?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Baoyu quickly played a copy for Jia Min.

Being reprimanded by Jia Min just now made him feel that his self-esteem was greatly hurt. If he doesn't vent it now, it will be very uncomfortable.

"Yeah, he just doesn't know what his last name is, so..."

Xue Pan was about to speak when Baochai tugged at his sleeve.

Of course Baochai didn't want others to say that about Jia Min, especially since her elder brother also joined in the fun.

Others can say what about Jia Min, but Jia Min is a member of the Jia family after all, and the Jia family said he was good at it, so it seemed inappropriate to participate as a guest.

Xue Pan didn't understand yet, but when he turned around and saw Baochai winking at him, he understood.

Although she didn't say anything on her lips, she said in her heart: My sister and Na Min's fourth brother have made a marriage agreement, and they started to turn to their son-in-law.

Although Jia Huan was not reprimanded by Jia Min just now, Jia Min's warning still made him very unhappy.Especially when Jia Min said they were trash, it made him hate Jia Min even more.

However, in view of his unfavorable situation in the eyes of the old lady and Mrs. Wang, he can't speak freely like Baoyu.

However, this time is a good opportunity, how can he let it go?
"Supposedly, it's not the fourth brother Min's fault, it's human nature."

"Third Brother Huan, why did you speak up for Fourth Min again? Have you forgotten what he said about us?"

"What fourth brother Min said is his business. We can't have the same knowledge as him. The reason why he opposes the war is to keep the credit for himself, and he is afraid that we will steal his limelight."

"Yes, that's it."

Baoyu felt that Jia Huan had touched on the key point.

"If we also make achievements like him, won't we not be able to show him in the mansion in the future?"

"Third brother Huan, if you talk like this, it's not thorough."

Wang Xifeng came in.

"Second sister-in-law Lian, why am I being careless? You were also present when he said that just now. But who can stand a man?"

"A man? Are you a man? I think what Brother Min said makes sense. Have you ever fought? Brother Min didn't let you go to the battlefield, isn't it for you? Do you know the dangers of war?"

After Wang Xifeng finished speaking here, he ignored Jia Huan and turned to Wintersweet Blossom.

"Sister Lameihua, you are from there. To be fair, is what Brother Min said makes sense?"

During the whole Chinese New Year period, apart from going out to play occasionally and seeing the prosperity of the imperial capital, wintersweet flowers have always been in Jia's mansion.

Of course, she also knew that the imperial court was going to start a war with North Wendu.

She knew the situation in North Wendura even better than Jia Min.

She was very surprised why the imperial court started a war with North Wendu at this time.

It's okay to go to war if you really want to, but it's too hasty to take 15 horses and go to war with [-] North Wendura cavalry.

However, this matter has nothing to do with her now, so why should she intervene?
However, Wang Xifeng called her name now, and everyone was looking at her, so it would be no good not to say anything.

"Ordinarily, I shouldn't interrupt this matter. Since Lian's second sister-in-law asked, I will say so."

"I think what the fourth brother Min said is reasonable. I still know a little about the Tatars, so it's not easy to mess with. Let me be honest, it's better if you don't go, or don't go. Military merit is not easy to earn."

Lameihua's words are her true words.

Having been with Baoyu and others for such a long time, she had already seen through these people and decided that they were idiots.

I am now in Jia's mansion, and she plans to come here often in the future, so it is better to tell the truth, if I follow Baoyu and the others, if they lose on the battlefield in the future, it will not be good for me to be here in the future Meet people.

In fact, Lameihua didn't want Baoyu and the others to leave.With these few people at home, she can often come to Jia's mansion.

Because these people are easy to deal with.

If everyone in Jia's mansion was like Jia Min, she would not want to come here.

"Sister, why did you help the fourth brother Min to speak up? The fourth brother Min can use 700 people to defeat your 15 cavalry. Now that you have an army of [-], are you still afraid of [-] Tatars?"

"That's different. The Tartars are better than us. I tell you..."

Wintersweet Blossom didn't finish talking, and Ping'er came in.

"Old ancestor, the emperor decreed that Fourth Master Min was taken to Wucheng to be guarded by the soldiers and horses."

"What? You say it again?"

Ping'er told the story from beginning to end.

This time, the Rongxi Hall was completely silent.

Seeing that Jia's mother was silent, no one dared to speak.

After a long time, Mother Jia sighed.

"Stop singing tonight's play, tell the troupe to go back."

With the support of the mandarin ducks, Jia's mother went back to her room first.Seeing that the situation was not good, everyone dispersed one after another.

The atmosphere in Jia's mansion was somewhat depressing.It is very easy for Jia Min to be in Wucheng Bingma Division.

What Qiu Liang arranged for him was a big room, and no one would live in it, and now it was the first month of the lunar year, and even less people came.So, here is also very clean.

The emperor only said to take care of him, but did not say that he would punish him, so as long as Jia Min does not leave here, no one will make things difficult for him.

After all, he is still a senior official of the third rank, which is nothing in the eyes of the ministers in the imperial class, but here, he is still much higher than them.

What's more, he is a child of the Jia family, and his sister is a noble concubine.Although the emperor ordered him to ground his feet now, who knows, one day he will be proud again?
Although Qiu Liang is the deputy commander, he is also a child of a family, and even the commander wants to give him some face.He didn't hide his close relationship with Jia Min in front of others, so no one turned his eyes to make things difficult for Jia Min.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Shou'er came and brought some food.She said Grandma Rong bought it and delivered it, and also conveyed Qin Keqing's words, telling Jia Min not to get angry, and it doesn't matter if he is an official or not, as long as he is safe.

Qin Keqing is as outstanding as Baochai.However, there are still many differences between the two.

When he was in Bukui, Baochai often talked with Jia Min, and sometimes helped Jia Min with ideas.The general tone is that persuading Jia Min to make progress, he also places more emphasis on Jia Min's future.

In this regard, Qin Keqing is quite different.

Qin Keqing never persuaded Jia Min to seek high-ranking officials and generous salary, even if it was about making money, she never told Jia Min.Always tell Jia Min to let nature take its course, as long as he is safe, and never put any pressure on him.

It cannot be said that there is nothing wrong with Baochai, it is just that people have different value orientations.

Jia Min was immersed in the comfort and warmth that Qin Keqing brought him, and Qiu Liang brought a person.

"Why are you here?"

The person Jia Min never expected was Wintersweet Blossom.

"Why can't I come? I told you to be defeated. Now you are unlucky. Let me come and see the excitement."

"Lameihua, you don't seem to be such a person?"

"Hmph, you still have a little conscience. I'm here to drink with you, you won't be afraid, will you?"

With that said, Lameihua took out several packages of food and a jug of wine.

"Commander Qiu, why don't you come and have a drink together, lest the lonely men and widows gossip together?"

"Lameihua, why are you afraid of gossip?"

This made Jia Min feel a little fresh.

"It's not that I'm afraid of gossip, but I'm afraid of your gossip."

"Okay, I'll have a drink with you. Don't be afraid of gossip. We're all going home for the holidays, and there's no one else. The three of us will spend the holidays here."

After Qiu Liang arranged the things, several people began to eat and drink.Needless to say, Wintersweet Blossom became acquainted with Qiu Liang after a while.

"Fourth brother Min, everyone is shouting for war, and you are the only one who opposes it, making people inside and outside, why do you think you are bothering?"

How did Lameihua learn so well? Don’t call me a nickname this time.

"Sister Lameihua, what do you think I can do? Others don't know, but you don't know? Now, if you start a war with the Tatars, isn't it just courting your own death? Do you think you can win?"

"Naturally, I don't think we can win. Not only can we not win, but even the South Vendura Grassland may fall into the hands of the Tatars this time."

Jia Min had to admit that Wintersweet Blossom was quite knowledgeable.

"Why do you think so?"

"The Tatars have been coveting South Wendura for a long time. The reason why they didn't dare to do anything before was because they were afraid that the court would stand on the side of Nan Wendula and intervene. Now that the court is fighting with the Tatars, the two sides will turn their faces, so there is no need I care about the attitude of the court."

"Besides, now that South Vendura and Bukui are empty, I just took advantage of the vacancy. If I were a Tatar, I would occupy South Vendura and Bukui in one fell swoop after defeating the imperial army."

"Lameihua, don't scare me. Brother Min, is it really that scary?"

"Brother Qiu, she didn't scare you. It's really scary. It's certain to occupy South Wendura, but if you want to occupy Bukui, even he Tatars can't do it."

"why?"

"Because my army regiment is in Bukui!"
