The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 477

In the year of Gengchen, that is, the 15th year of Yuanheng, the eighth day of the first lunar month.

On the outskirts of Paris, a long queue came from afar.

This team includes carriages and riders.The carriages were full of goods.

The one who walked in the front was a yellow man with an oriental face.Beside him are three Caucasians.

Two of them are older, apparently a couple.The other one was younger, about eighteen or nineteen years old, also Caucasian, and a very beautiful girl.

These people are Jia Min, the Servante couple and Tamara.

After starting from Fort Sergei, the group first arrived in St. Petersburg.

There, Tamara went through the formalities of inheriting her dukedom, so she is now the new generation of Duke Tamara.

The group stayed in St. Petersburg for more than half a month. While waiting for Tamara to go through the inheritance procedures, they followed Tamara to familiarize themselves with the local social etiquette.

It was there that Baochai, Miaoyu, Daiyu, and Qingwen, under Jia Min's coaxing and temptation and Tamara's irony, began to dance with a man other than Jia Min for the first time, and finally crossed the threshold. This threshold.

On the contrary, wintersweet and daffodils are very refreshing, and they will learn to dance in St. Petersburg soon.

They are not as cautious as Baochai and the others, and they accept male and female dances almost without any obstacles.

As people on the southern Wendura grasslands, they actually danced a lot when they were at home. Although they didn't dance with men in their arms, they often danced together.

The team stopped beside a somewhat mottled wooden sign.

On this sign, there is an arrow, and there is a line of French below it: Paris.

Looking at this sign, and looking at the faintly visible buildings in the distance, Jia Min has a feeling of time and space disorder.

In his previous life, he had been to Paris, which is an international metropolis.

Now, after hundreds of years, he came to Paris hundreds of years ago.

At this time, his mood can only be described with mixed feelings.

"Brother Min, is Paris ahead?"

Baochai leaned over and pressed her body against Jia Min intentionally or unconsciously.

Since dancing with other men, Baochai and Jia Min no longer keep a distance.It seems that he has entered a new stage soon, and when he is with Jia Min again, he seems very intimate.

For some physical contact, he is no longer so taboo, even in front of others, he is generous.

"Yes, this is the end of our trip. We will stay here for a year and finish what we have here. When we leave, we will go back with a fruitful result. Then, we will start a new era .”

"Brother Min, is that what you said, laying down a piece of land in Beihai?"

As Miao Yu spoke, a look of excitement appeared on her face.

"This time, we can finally have our own home."

Daiyu's small face was full of smiles, flushed with a healthy blush.

When they were in St. Petersburg, Jia Min told them that he planned to establish his own dynasty in Beihai in the future.Now, even Qin Zhong, Jia Qin, Wei Ruoshui, Sevante and Tamara, who were traveling together, already knew about it.

At this time, there is no need to keep them secret.If you continue to keep them a secret, you will appear to distrust them and may hurt their feelings.

After walking for more than ten months and traveling thousands of miles, they are now a community of destiny, sharing weal and woe.

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and after a short rest, they continued to move forward.

They will go to Mrs. Servante's uncle's house, where there is a large manor that can accommodate more than 100 people in their party.

It is now the eighth day of the first lunar month, and the beginning of spring has passed.Jia Min is 19 years old.

This year, Baochai was 18 years old, Miaoyu was 18 years old, Daiyu was 17 years old, Qingwen was 17 years old, and Tamara was 19 years old.

On the tenth day of the first month of the 15th year of Yuan Heng, Jia Min and his party arrived in Paris the next day.

Dade Empire, the outskirts of the imperial capital, living in the wild.

Since the abolition of the Fubingtuan, there has been no sentry post at the gate of Yeduju.Except for occasional people coming in and out, most of the time of the day, the door is closed tightly.

The lively scene of the military training here seems to have become a distant past.

Those slogans and yells that once shook the sky have become distant memories.

However, it's not all quiet here. Every morning and night, I still think of the voices of slogans and passwords, but the voices are much quieter.

Just the voices of three people.

These three people, adhering to the habits of the past few years, are still doing morning and evening exercises consciously.

No one urges them, this is their own habit.

These people were Zhang Decai, the original monitor of the left-behind squad, and two soldiers, Liu Fushan and Song Hu.

Now, they are making wine in Yedujuli.

Occasionally, Nan'er, Liu Tieshan, and Wu Hongmei from Xiawazi, Fenghua, Xueyue, and Magpie from the city, and Fang Xiucai and Feng Sanniang from Liujiazhuang also come here.

When they came, they would bring some food and supplies for the three of them.Then talk to them about things that happened here in the past, and recall those people and things that happened here together.

Although everyone tried not to mention that name, fearing that memories would cause sadness.However, the name of Chief Min is often unavoidable.

Sometimes, when someone called the door outside, Zhang Decai and the others often had some fantasies in their hearts, hoping that this person who appeared suddenly was their Chief Min.

Although it disappointed them every time, they still couldn't help repeating such fantasies next time.

They are now positioning themselves as making wine and doing business here, while waiting for Chief Min to come back.

This is the home of Chief Min. Sooner or later, he will come back.

Many times, those veterans of the Fubing Corps who lived in the imperial capital would also come here to see and inquire about the news of Chief Min.

Although they didn't say anything, Zhang Decai and the others understood that these people were actually waiting for an order.

As long as Chief Min gives an order to tell them to come back, they will immediately put down everything in their hands, return here, and then go wherever Chief Min tells them to go.

Even if it is thousands of rivers and mountains, far away in the ends of the earth, it is the same.

Today, the gate of Noto House remains open.

Liu Fushan stood at the door, receiving people who rushed here from time to time.

Now, more than 100 people have come here, and others have come one after another.

These people were artisans and farmers recruited by Fang Xiucai and Ni Er.

Ni Er will lead them to Bukui first, and then from Bukui to a place called Beihai.

Although they had never been there, they all believed in Fang Xiucai's promise.

In the past few years, Fang Xiucai has sent more than a few groups of people to Bukui.Those who went there either settled there and stayed there, or returned home after making a fortune.

Those who came back not only brought back silver, but also brought back stories of getting rich there.

As a result, more and more people who wanted to change their status quo and had dreams in their hearts asked one after another when Fang Xiucai would send someone there again.

There are plenty of places to live in Yeduju, so Fang Xiucai gathered people here, and Ni Er will take them out tomorrow.

Although the North Sea is farther than Bukui, it is the place where they realize their dreams.

Just as Ni Er was gathering people at Yeduju, waiting for the departure tomorrow, at this moment, in the eastern suburbs of the imperial capital, a team was also preparing to set off on the road.

This is a group of exiles, more than 300 in total, and their place of exile is Pukui, more than 4000 miles away.

Xie Kun, the former commander of the Jinyi Army, was one of these exiles.

Xie Kun had many friends in the past, but since his accident, he has no friends.

It was Jiang Shilang from the Ministry of Punishment who had dealt with him several times before, who came to see him off.

It was the only one who sent him.

"Brother Jiang, a friend in adversity sees the truth. I really didn't expect that you came to see me off."

Xie Kun took the five taels of silver handed over by Jiang Shilang, with tears in his eyes.

"There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. Brother Xie, there is no need to be sad. The world is hot and cold, which is a common thing. Brother Xie has to think about it."

"Thank you Brother Jiang for your enlightenment."

"Brother Xie is lucky to go to Bukui now. I have been to the Bukui matching office. When Jia Huaiyuan was the governor there, he made a series of reforms in terms of food, accommodation, and labor for exiles."

"It can be said that among all the distribution centers, Bu Kui has the best treatment for exiles. Now He Jialin is in charge of Bu Kui, and Xiao Gui and Cao Sui are still the system left by Jia Huaiyuan. When we get there, there will be no Too much bitterness."

"After the past, mention me to others, and say that I am Jia Huaiyuan's old friend. For Jia Huaiyuan's sake, no one will embarrass you."

The shouts of soldiers sounded, and the exile team set off.

Xie Kun walked in the procession, wearing shackles around his neck.Looking at the front, back, left, and right, I couldn't help but feel a dreamlike feeling in my heart.

A sense of absurdity lingered in his mind.

Prior to this, he followed the intention of Song Kuan, the son of Dongping Prince, to track down Jia's mansion.Now that he has come to this point, going to Bu Kui, he wants to enjoy the shadow of Jia Min's reform there.

When he got there, he still had to accept Jia Min's face and favor.Times change, life is like chess, if you don't make it to the last step, you don't know who will win and who will lose.

Xie Kun stopped in his tracks and looked back.

The escort officer knew his identity, and saw that Jiang Shilang from the Ministry of Punishment saw him off just now, so he was more polite to him.

"Xie Kun, what else is there?"

"Please call Mr. Jiang, I still have a few words to explain to him."

After a while, the escort came with Jiang Shilang.

"Brother Xie, what else is there to worry about? Just say, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

"Since Brother Jiang and Jia Huaiyuan are old friends, can we meet Jia Huaiyuan?"

"Oh, Huaiyuan is somewhere now, maybe I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Brother Jiang, if you have a chance, please tell Jia Huaiyuan to a trustworthy person and ask Jia's family to be careful about Song Kuan."

"Song Kuan? Prince Dongping's son?"

"It's this person who wants to track down the details of Jia's house and catch Jia's house."

Jiang Shilang couldn't help being surprised when he heard Xie Kun's general account of what happened.

Until Xie Kun walked away, he still stood there.

Although Jiang Shilang has some friendship with Jia Min, when he recklessly impeached Jia Min, Jia Min let him go.

However, the two have had little contact since then.

He said that he and Jia Min were Wangnian friends, but in fact, he was a little overbearing.

Now Xie Kun asked him to send a message to Jia's mansion, which made him a little embarrassed.

Are you going to pass on this word to yourself?
