The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 385 Ask Brother Ming
The official road from the imperial capital to Zhili is obviously much wider and smoother than the roads in other places.Not only because it is close to the capital, but also because there are more cars and horses coming and going.

Walking on the road, you can see cars and horses coming and going from time to time, almost in an endless stream.

Jia Lian was walking on the official road with a team of chariots and horses.

Yesterday he met the Lu University scholar in the palace, and after returning home at night, he studied with the old lady and others for a while, and decided to come to Zhili to see Jia Min today.

It is three hundred miles from the imperial capital to Zhili.Start at Yinshi in the morning, eat at a restaurant at noon, and continue on the road.It's past You hour now, and we'll be in Zhili soon.

The candidates for this visit were carefully selected by the old lady, Mrs. Wang and Jia Lian.

One is Mrs. Wang, representing the elders, and also Baoyu's mother, Jia Min's mother.

The other was Qin Keqing, who came on behalf of Jia Rong's widow, although she had a big belly.I also want to remind Jia Min of the fact that Jia Rong is dead.

The other one is Daiyu, which represents the arrival of the younger generation.

Daiyu is not the only younger generation, and Daiyu is not her turn in terms of closeness and blood relationship.However, the old lady asked Jia Lian to tell Jia Min that she was going to formally betroth Daiyu to Baoyu.

Jia Lian immediately understood that the old lady was playing the emotional card again.

The purpose is to arouse Jia Min's sympathy for Daiyu.

However, Daiyu is still not clear about the inside story, so she seems more excited along the way here.It seems quite out of harmony with the dullness of others.

Originally, people were worried that Qin Keqing would be inconvenient, so they didn't want to come.

However, when she told Qin Keqing last night, she agreed without hesitation.Even Mrs. Wang and Jia Lian felt a little strange about her determination.

The remaining one is Xue Pan.

Seeing Jia Min gave Xue Pan a headache.However, since he was asked to come, as the person involved at that time, he had no choice but to come.

The unified caliber at home is that this is to tell Jia Min about Baoyu and ask him what to do.

The actual purpose is to ask Jia Min to rescue Baoyu.

We are about to enter the city soon, and the tall buildings of Zhili Governor's Mansion have been vividly remembered.It won't be long before we see Jia Min.

At this moment, a rider galloped past from behind, and after running not far away, that rider stopped and turned back.They stopped in front of Jia's convoy.

"Captain Jia."

Someone has spoken.

Jia Lian was also surprised when he saw it.

"Miss Li Chun, why are you here?"

"Captain Jia, I think we are going to the same place. I am looking for Officer Min."

"What a coincidence, we are also looking for Chief Min. Let's go together. Didn't you go to North Vancouver? When did you come back?"

"Hey, it's a long story, let's talk as we go."

Lichun knew that he couldn't hide his purpose of looking for Jia Min, so he told the story in detail.

When Jia Lian heard this, she kept sighing.

"Oh, it's a pity that Li Chengbin is a general. He is a bit inferior to be a bodyguard for His Highness. It's not worth it to die on the battlefield like this."

"It's all because the friendly army is unfavorable, otherwise there would be such a big defeat."

Beginning of spring is still indignant, full of indignation.

Jia Min is not the only one who is not optimistic about the imperial army's conquest of North Wendura.The entire Bukui Mansion Corps, including Feng Ziying, was not favored by anyone.

Jia Lian is also one of them.

Seeing that Lichun is still blaming the disadvantage of the friendly army, Jia Lian can't say anything.

However, in his heart, he still has his own opinion.

In this battle of North Wendura, even with the cooperation of the imperial army, there is not much hope of winning.

Whether it is combat power or tactics, they are not at the same level.

Jia Lian didn't ask why Lichun came to see Jia Min, and Lichun didn't say anything.

However, Jia Lian also vaguely guessed her reason for coming.That is to ask Jia Min to rescue Princess Chang'an.

Jia Lian was both happy and worried about this.

Happily, if the emperor asked Jia Min to save Princess Chang'an, Jia Min might have to go.In this way, persuading Jia Min to save Baoyu will save a lot of trouble.

The worry is that if Jia Min goes to rescue Princess Chang'an, he wonders if he still has the energy to save Baoyu.

Jia Lian got Ning'er's address from Zhang Decai, and was asking someone how to get there when Baozhu in the car suddenly shouted.

"Look, is that Sister Ping'er and Magpie?"

Jia Lian saw that there were indeed several people coming out of the alley, and they were about to get into a carriage.

Riding a horse, it turned out to be Ping'er.

"Second Master Lian? Why are you here?"

When Leng Ding saw Jia Lian, Ping'er was really surprised.

"We have something to do with fourth brother Min, is he at home?"

"At home, so many people? Who else is here?"

"Ma'am, Brother Rong's wife, Miss Lin, and Brother Xue are all here."

As soon as he heard that these people were coming, Ping'er immediately became alert.

This combination is here, and it always makes people feel a little unusual.

However, she has always been a smart person, so without saying anything, she came over to greet Mrs. Wang, then returned to her car, and took everyone home.

Seeing that Ping'er also had a big belly, everyone understood what was going on.

When Qin Keqing saw it, she couldn't help but feel a little bitter.Rubbing his big belly with his hands, he sighed a few times.

After a while, I arrived at home.Ning'er was in the yard, and when she saw so many people coming, she hurried back to the house to call Jia Min.

When Jia Min came out, when he saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat, and a strong ominous feeling came to his heart.

He knew that what he had been worrying about had finally come.

"Brother Ming..."

As soon as Mrs. Wang called Brother Min, she couldn't continue, and tears fell down.

"Mother, don't worry. If you have something to say, go to the house and talk. Jin Chuan'er, quickly help mother to the house."

Another car opened the curtain, Qin Keqing got out of the car with the support of Baozhu and Ruizhu.

Although Jia Min already knew that Qin Keqing was happy, he was still surprised when he saw her big belly.

It's still the same beautiful face, but it looks a little haggard.The melancholy expression on her face was very different from the charming and charming one in the past.

Seeing Qin Keqing coming, Jia Min couldn't help but feel a burst of heartache.He didn't feel too strange when someone else came.Ke Qing came, but something unusual really happened.

"I met Fourth Uncle Min."

"Oh, Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, hurry up and do it in the house. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later."

Then Daiyu came to see Li and went into the house.Then Xue Pan came over slowly.

"I met fourth brother Min."

"Oh, Brother Xue is here too."

When Jia Min saw Xue Pan's expression, he felt something was wrong.Others come here, even if it is strange, there are some reasons to explain it.

Xue Pan came, but it was just more strange.If it were not abnormal, Xue Pan would not be willing to come to see him even if he was beaten to death.

Then came Lichun, who just said hello.Although she knew that she must have something to do here, but now is not the time to talk.We can only talk about it later.

After entering the house, Jia Min chatted with everyone.

Now that it has just arrived, and there are outsiders such as Lichun and some maids present, it is not convenient to say anything, and the key things will not be mentioned.Mrs. Wang talked about things in the mansion, and she also talked to Ping'er, but the parents always said something.

After a while, Ning'er came back.

"Fourth Master, we have already booked an inn, together with the restaurant there. There are no idlers and others, and it is very clean."

A lot of people came, there were many masters, there was no room for them to live in the house, and the food and drinks were not available for a while, so Ping'er asked Ning'er to go out and make arrangements like this.

It's just spending a few more coins, but it's much more convenient and quicker.

"Okay, you, Heping, will take everyone to the inn to settle down first, and arrange everyone's accommodation. After the settlement is over, the banquet is almost ready. The banquet will start in a while. Tell the boss, don't let other people approach you, so as not to offend the female relatives. Mother , do you think this arrangement is good?"

"When we get here, we will listen to Brother Min's arrangement."

"Okay, I'll ask Ping'er and Ning'er to take you there to resettle. My second brother Lian and I will be there in a while."

So the female relatives went out to get into the car again, Lichun and Xue Pan followed, and finally Jia Min and Jia Lian were left.

"Second brother Lian, tell me now, what happened?"

So, Jia Lian told the details of the incident.Jia Min listened, but also remained silent for a long time.

Although he had expected that something big would happen, he still didn't expect it to be so serious.

Especially when Jia Huan killed Jia Rong and Baoyu killed Mingyan, it shocked him even more.

However, afterward, Jia Min thought about it.

It is actually quite normal for Jia Huan and Baoyu to do so.

Neither of them has experienced the test of life and death. In the face of life and death, their instinct is to protect themselves.

Not only them, most of the others would choose to prioritize protecting their own lives.

Second, both are selfish people.Naturally, I think that my own life is more precious than others.

Jia Huan's psychology has always been relatively dark, and his personality is also relatively distorted.He was unsuccessful in the mansion, many people looked down on him, and he didn't live up to it. At this time, it was quite normal to take the opportunity to kill Jia Rong and Baoyu, save himself, and seek the heir of Rongguo Mansion in the future.

It's just that he didn't expect that Mingyan would be willing to die for Baoyu, and Xue Pan secretly saw this process.

As soon as Jia Lian told the story, Jia Min understood the purpose of these people coming to find him.

Although I said I came to ask him what to do, but even if he said the way, who in the mansion could do it?

Besides, even Jia Min himself hasn't figured out any solution yet?

North Wendura is as big and there are so many Tatars.Baoyu and the others were arrested by whom?Is it dead or alive now?
If alive, where are they?Are Baoyu and Jiahuan together, or separated?
