The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 504 Come and go in a hurry
That night, Baochai and his party returned to Jia's mansion.

The old lady, Aunt Xue was surprised, surprised and happy when she saw them come back.

After careful questioning, I realized that they were only the girls and maids who came back by themselves, not even a male escort.Inevitably, Qin Zhong complained a lot.

When I got home, the meal had already been set in the house, and the old lady asked the kitchen to prepare a rich variety of dishes.Tell everyone to come and clean them up.

In fact, there is no need for the old lady to call. After people heard about it, they rushed to Rongxi Hall.

Rongxi Hall is the main room where Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang live, and it is usually the place where Jia's mansion discusses important matters.

There are important guests outside, and most of them meet and receive here.

However, there are no outsiders today, they are all the masters of the mansion.

When Baochai and others came back, the old lady also specifically told them not to tell outsiders.

As soon as the old lady saw Daiyu, she screamed with heart and liver.When Daiyu saw her ancestor, she also burst into tears. In the end, both grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other and cried, causing others to cry too.

From then on, the old lady held on to Daiyu's hand, even when setting meals.

The people in the mansion had already eaten, and at this time they came to the table one after another, drinking with Baochai, Miaoyu, and Daiyu.

The old lady was very excited and drank three glasses in a row.Seeing the high spirits of the old lady, and being happy for the return of the few people, everyone began to drink one after another.For a while, it was fun.

Seeing that Baoyu and the girls had not come out for a long time, Baochai felt puzzled.

However, she has always been deep in the city, and she knows there must be a reason for it.So there was no question.

She knew that someone would bring this up soon.Even if you don't mention it, your mother will tell her when you get home.

But Daiyu couldn't hold back her anger and asked first.

"They all went to Pukui, and Baoyu and Tana went to North Wendula."

The old lady didn't hide anything, and said it outright.

In fact, there was no need to hide it. Baochai and the others left afterward. After returning, they would naturally know the truth.

"How did you go there?"

Daiyu was still puzzled.

"I'm so bored in the mansion, I'm going to Brother Ming's place to relax."

The old lady said casually.

"Brother Min is in Beihai now, not in Bukui. He left with us from France, so he must have returned to Beihai by now."

Miaoyu didn't hide anything, so she told the truth.

"This brother Ming is really capable of tossing around, and he actually told you to travel thousands of miles. When you get there, you will have to walk for half a year just on the road, and you are not afraid of exhausting yourself."

"Ancestor, I'm not tired. Look at me, I'm much better now. I have to thank Fourth Brother Min."

Daiyu raised her small fist to show her strength.

"That's right, Daiyu has grown a lot taller now, and her face has become ruddy a lot, but she has become much stronger."

"You don't want to speak for brother Ming. Along the way, you didn't ask a few people to protect you. You even asked a group of your daughters to walk alone. When I see him, see if I don't skin him."

"Old ancestor, this is nothing, we have all killed people. Who dares to harm us?"

What?Have you ever killed someone?

Everyone stopped in unison, no food, no wine?

"Miss Bao, is what Yaner said true or false?"

Wang Xifeng couldn't believe it, even Daiyu could kill someone.

"Lien's second sister-in-law, what Daiyu said is true, she did kill her."

"What, did you really kill someone? Has anyone killed him, Daiyu?"

The ancestors would not believe it even if they were beaten to death.

"Old Ancestor, he did. Not only did Daiyu kill him, but Miaoyu and I did too."

"Oh my god, you actually killed someone, how many did you kill?"

"Daiyu killed three, Miaoyu killed three, and I killed four. The three of us even killed one together."

The partner killed the unlucky Kalinin.

"When were they all killed?"

"It was killed during the war."

"Are you still fighting?"

"Fight, at that time, if I don't kill him, he will kill me."

"This bastard, Brother Ming, actually asked you to join the battle. Look, this Brother Ming, just thought he was good, and then became lawless again."

"Old Ancestor, Fourth Brother Min is not to blame for this. He also refused to let us fight. We wanted to kill ourselves."

Seeing Daiyu and the others casually narrate the murder, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Qin Keqing, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and the others were almost stunned.

They exhausted their imaginations, and they didn't dare to connect these delicate ladies with murder.

But Jia Lian felt normal.

"Old ancestors, there is no comparison at home, on the road, at sea, when you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. If you don't kill him, he will kill you. Only in this way can we protect ourselves."

"You're all going to kill people. If you go to Tan Yatou and the others, don't you have to learn how to kill people? If that's the case, isn't there a group of female devil queens in our family?"

At this time, the old lady's mood was quite complicated.

I made a lot of determination and decided to get rid of Nanny Lai.Until now, there are still some fears.

Now these girls are killing people if they disagree with each other, as if nothing happened.

Is this because one generation is not as good as the next generation, or is the blue out of the blue and better than the blue?
"Don't worry about the old ancestor, he didn't just kill people casually."

As Baochai said, he felt a little joy in his heart: "I have killed a dozen of them today. If I told you, wouldn't it surprise you even more?"

"Forget it, kill it if you kill it. I was worried that no one would see you off when you left, but now it seems that you are not afraid to go on the road by yourself."

"Old ancestor, it should be that others are afraid of us, not that we are afraid of others."

They ate and chatted for more than three hours before leaving.

Although the banquet was over, everyone still gathered around Miaoyu and Daiyu asking questions.Baochai followed her mother back to her home.

At this time, Baochai had the opportunity to meet his mother alone.

It has been more than three years since Baochai left home this time since he came back for the recovery of Nanwen Dula that year.

When mother and daughter meet, there are naturally countless things to say.

"Where did Yinger go, why didn't she come back with you?"

"She and Chunxian have some business to do, and they won't be back until tomorrow."

"Just go out with their two daughters? Oh, yes, even you dare to kill, why should I worry about them? Well, now I am worried about your brother."

"Mother, don't worry. My brother will be fine no matter whether he arrives in Bukui or Beihai. They are all members of Fourth Brother Min there, so they will take care of him."

"Well, if you want to talk about your brother, he has changed since he came back from North Vancouver that year. Now he has made a lot of progress. A few days ago, someone came to propose marriage to him. I was worried that no one would discuss it. It happened that you Come back and give me an idea."

"It's a good thing. Whose girl is it?"

"It's the girl from the Osmanthus Xia family, named Xia Jingui."

"Does mother know anything about that girl?"

"I'm also calling for someone to visit."

"Brother has arrived in Bukui now, maybe he is already in Beihai at this time. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while. I'm not in a hurry to settle this matter. I'd better pay more visits to see the family style and character of that family. .”

"Oh, I'm also worried about this. The mountains are high and the roads are far away. It's not easy for your brother to come back."

"Does mother know why the girls in the mansion suddenly went to Beihai?"

"I also find it strange. The old lady always tells them to go away. She says she wants them to go out to relax and see brother Ming. If that's the case, wouldn't it be enough to ask brother Ming to come back? It’s about relaxation, where you can’t relax, why go so far. I’m also puzzled.”

"Mother doesn't have to worry about this, maybe the old ancestor just asked the girls to go out to relax and practice."

"By the way, when I came back just now, Brother Lian told me that he would come to see you tomorrow and had something to say. Now the old lady and Brother Lian discuss important matters in the house. You can ask Brother Lian tomorrow, maybe Just know."

"Maybe there is something hidden, but it's not easy to ask too much. Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Mother and daughter had been separated for a long time, and there were endless things to say, and the two chatted until the third watch before falling asleep.

The next day, Jia Lian really came to look for Baochai.

Seeing Aunt Xue and Xiangling by the side, Jia Lian just gossips.Aunt Xue was also a sensible person. Knowing that Jia Lian and Baochai had secret matters to discuss, she left Xiangling to wait on her and went to Mrs. Wang's.

"Second brother Lian is looking for me, what's important?"

"Yes, after discussing with my ancestors, I came here specially to find you. Some things are inconvenient to tell others, but I want you to know. After you go back, I will tell fourth brother Min."

"Second brother Lian, just say something, and I will pass it on."

"It's about several major events in the mansion."

"What's going on in the mansion?"

"Yes, it's about Brother Rong's wife, Miaoyu, and the Jinling Zhen family."

So, Jia Lian told about Qin Keqing and Miaoyu's life experiences, and about Jia's private possession of property for the Zhen family.

When Baochai heard this, she remained silent for a long time.

These few things can indeed be regarded as the shocking secrets of the Jia family.

Even Qin Keqing and Miaoyu are hiding this matter from themselves, which shows that the matter is of great importance.

Being able to tell yourself these things means not only trusting yourself, but also valuing yourself.

"Jiao Da's death is related to this matter. The Jinyi Army was secretly tracking down Brother Rong's daughter-in-law. Although we don't know whether to track down Miaoyu, we have to guard against it. Therefore, Miaoyu can't stay in the mansion for a long time, or It's better to return to Beihai earlier."

"We'll be leaving in two days. This time, we came back to have a look, and didn't intend to stay for a long time."

"The search for Brother Rong's wife was originally done by Xie Kun, the commander of the Jinyi Army. Xie Kun once asked Jiang Mingqian to send me a message, saying that it was Song Kuan, the son of Dongping Prince. But I still can't figure it out. It seems that this matter is related to Song Kuan. There is not much connection, and it is likely that he was entrusted by others."

Although Jia Lian didn't say it clearly, Baochai also guessed what he meant.

Song Kuan is the son of Prince Dongping, with a respected status.How many people are there in this world who can command him?
Will a daughter of a deposed king pose any threat and value to King Dongping?Even if there is, it is not big.

Therefore, the person behind Song Kuan is ready to come out.

Of course, Jia Lian didn't tell Baochai about getting rid of Nanny Lai, Zhang Cai, Zhang Wen, Liu Guifu, and Wu Fugui's family.

However, only these three things,.Tell her to tell Jia Jiamin, the meaning is obvious.

Although Jia Lian didn't say that his ancestor told Jia Min to rebel, Baochai still understood that this meant Jia Min was getting ready to rebel.

Now, Baochai finally understands why Jia Min spent so much effort to establish a base in Beihai and to get back these advanced weapons in France.

Even though Jia Min doesn't know these few things yet, he must have seen the face of the royal family clearly a long time ago.

"These few things may not be exposed, but the current situation is turbulent and the government is chaotic. Some things have to be guarded against. This is the reason why Baoyu and the girls were sent away."

"Second Brother Lian, I understand."

In the evening, Ying'er and Chunxian returned to the mansion after assassinating Liu San'er and Xiaoer from Cyclamen.

The next day, Baochai stayed with Qin Keqing in Dongfu for a while, and then said goodbye to the old lady, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan.

On the morning of the third day, together with Miaoyu, Daiyu and the maidservants, they disguised themselves as men and left Jia's mansion for Juehua Island in western Liaoning.

The second ship returned from France led by Liu Cheng and Qin Zhong will be waiting for them there.

A group of ten people rode horses day and night, and arrived at Juehua Island six days later, met Liu Cheng and Qin Zhong, and headed for Beihai Horna Port.
