The Rose of the Red Chamber

Chapter 162

"I don't feel like I've been here for long. I'm on my way. I don't know if I'll have another chance when I go back this time." Zhao Huan looked at Tanchun and felt that this place was more comfortable than Chang'an, which is very close to the capital. many.

Even the air is cooler than other places.

First, he grew up here since he was a child, and second, although this place is not as prosperous as the capital city, it makes people feel at ease.

When he was in the capital, he always had a feeling of erratic.

My heart is always in a state of turmoil, and I dare not say a word, and I dare not take an extra step, for fear of offending someone or making someone look down on me.

In fact, he knows in his heart that no matter how much he pays attention, there are still many people who look down on him behind his back.

Said he was born with mud legs, said he was a country bumpkin.

Looking back at this frontier town again, Zhao Huan knew in his heart that unless he would come here to be an official or provide for the elderly, he would not have the freedom he has now when he has passed the national filial piety and passed the examination.

"When I was here when I was young, although I experienced some wars from time to time, but at that time I was still young, and my father and mother were protecting me, so I didn't feel as real as this time."

Boss Jiang also nodded, "That's right, the security at home was not as tight as my sister's at that time, but no one ever came in. Dad protected us very well."

It's better to be an official than to be in charge now. At that time, Jiang Xingyuan was a military attache here, and he climbed up from the bottom step by step. very simple thing.After all, many officials here are doing this.

But the situation is different now. Their siblings are just the family members of officials from other places. Although Liu Xianglian is there, after the stick is lifted up, there are no soldiers under their hands.

Now it's all right, Liu Xianglian, the stick, followed the army and took his wife and brother-in-law to the north for a walk. In half a year, he turned around and was promoted by half a level, becoming a guerrilla general from the third rank, and brought his wife and brother-in-law back home.

So, even if it is a stick, people are jealous.Now that they are jealous, how can they send someone to protect their siblings.

Fortunately, they are going back to the capital now, but,

"Sister, do you really want to bring so many dogs along the way? Counting Wangcai, that's seven big dogs."

Tanchun was surprised when he heard this, "Why didn't you bring it with you? When we came here, we went north with the army, and the road was safe. But now our family doesn't bring dogs. I'm afraid. And we don't take them with us. Let’s go back to the capital together, we can’t just keep them in this house.”

Together, the six cats ate more than the housekeepers in their family.She didn't even have to think about it, looking back at the house, the old man would have to dislike these big guys for eating too much, and then stew a few pots of dog meat.

Her old mother was afraid of these things, so she couldn't support her at home.But isn't there the Liu family in the backyard?Putting it in the garden at that time will be a hundred times better than using people to look after the garden.

If you want to enter the garden and do something, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

And with Wangcai, a dog who understands human nature, the training problems of the six dogs can be regarded as solved a lot.

"Sister, if you take them with you, you probably won't be able to stay in a hotel. Maybe you have to stay in the suburbs on your return trip." He didn't want it.

Tanchun glared at him unhappily, "All of us can book a small inn. When the inn is booked, only our family members will be there, so why not let us stay. If we don't let us stay, I'll let the dog go."

The three of Zhao Huan twitched their mouths when they heard Tanchun's words.

Without the old lady watching, the eldest sister's temper is really getting more and more nonsense.

The three of them looked at Liu Xianglian in unison again, and then sighed in unison again.

This cheap brother-in-law is not cured either.

Jiang Xingyuan and Zhao Guoji have seen how Jiang Xingyuan and Zhao Guoji treat their daughter-in-law, but they did not expect that this brother-in-law is even worse.

It is estimated that even if his sister is going to Jiewa in the house, this brother-in-law is also the one who is afraid of his sister falling on the ladder.

After they finished thinking quietly, they saw Liu Xianglian helping Tanchun get into the carriage attentively, and they all walked to their own horses without a word.

When they marry a daughter-in-law in the future, they shouldn't be like the family members.

Ugh!

Among the six carriages on the return trip, in addition to the ones with people pulling luggage, there was even a special one for dogs.

Looking at the six big dogs obediently crawling on the open carriage, I couldn't help sighing in my heart, what a group of ancestors.

Touching the horse's neck, he felt that the sitting horse was a bit pitiful for a while.

Their eldest sister only felt sorry for the dog being tired after traveling thousands of miles, but she didn't think about whether the horse pulling the dog would be tired.

╮(￣▽￣)╭

If he knew the news about Yuanchun when he came here, it would make Tanchun feel uneasy.So on the way back, I deliberately avoided the small county town and met Baoyu who was begging all the way, which drove Tanchun crazy.

The world is far and wide, it is not good where you go to practice and beg, but it is in the place where she passed by.

What kind of trouble is this going to do?

In other words, on the road for many days, Tanchun and his party traveled during the day and stayed at night, and sometimes they would settle lunch in the suburbs at noon and rest by the way.

At noon that day, about half a month away from the capital, Tanchun and his party were resting in front of a ruined temple.

In the suburbs in the afternoon, there was no longer the hustle and bustle of the morning, so everyone saw a ragged refugee swaying through the forest, which was not a luxuriant forest.

Why do you say he is a refugee?Because that image is really similar to refugees.

Although the clothes cover the body, they are too tattered and dirty, and the hair is like weeds, even covering most of the face.

Because he was the only one, Tanchun didn't shy away from it, he still sat by the fire and watched over the boiled eggs she wanted to eat.

There is nothing wrong with it, it is to burn eggs.

When passing by the suburbs yesterday, Tanchun suddenly wanted to eat boiled eggs. There were no raw eggs in their luggage at the time, so when they stayed in the city last night, they specially asked someone to buy a basket of raw eggs to take away today.

Use good rice paper to soak in water, then wrap it on the washed raw eggs, and then burn it in a small fire. In just two quarters of an hour, the aroma of burning eggs will come out.

This dry-boiled egg is very delicious.Tanchun ate there once when he went to a resort with his family in his previous life.

After that... never forget it.

Having said that, Tanchun was happily eating the boiled eggs, and saw that the refugee who came over was very pitiful, so he specially asked someone to pack up a portion of the leftovers from lunch for him.

Unexpectedly, when the man looked over from the gap in the messy hair, he was startled first, and then rushed over very excitedly.

"Third sister? Are you the third sister?"

Tanchun was also taken aback, and calmly looked at the man in front of him who was separated by wolf dogs and guards in the distance.

Oh, let me go, isn't this Baoyu?

"I just knew that the third sister is still alive." The refugee, oh no, it should be called Baoyu. Seeing that Tanchun has been silent, Baoyu carefully scrutinized Tanchun who was getting taller and more developed than before. , said to himself.

Tanchun looked left and right, lowered his eyes, and said nothing.

Even if she knew that Baoyu was stupid, she would not admit it voluntarily.

Seeing this, Zhao Huan hurriedly shouted, "Where did the boy come from so presumptuous? My sister is kind enough to help, but you are so abrupt."

In their family, his sister is the eldest, when did she become this person's third younger sister?Could it be that seeing his sister's soft heart, she just wanted to make an inch of it.

The more he thought about it, the more biased he became. At this moment, Zhao Huan had already conspired against the person in front of him.

The Jiang family twins also stood up from the side, looking at Baoyu with unfriendly eyes.

The elder sister told them before that there are some liars in this world who cheat people by identifying their relatives.

Lie to a father, and then mortgage it out.Lie a girl, and then marry out in exchange for a dowry.cheat...

Looking at the younger brothers who were on guard in an instant, Tanchun was a little moved, but also a little bit wanting to laugh.

She and Huan'er are siblings of the same father and mother, she and the Jiang family boy are half-siblings of the same mother, Huan'er and the twins are also half-brothers of the same mother, and she and Baoyu are half-brothers of the same father. Mother's brother and sister, and the relationship between Huan'er and Baoyu is the same.

This relationship is messy and embarrassing...

"...Are you Baoyu?" Hearing someone calling Third Sister, Liu Xianglian clenched the sword tightly in her hand, squinting her eyes to look at the person in front of her, and vaguely saw something.So I asked with some uncertainty.

Baoyu sees nothing but Tanchun.

He didn't hear Zhao Huan's question.

He didn't see the twins' vigilance either.

But when he heard Liu Xianglian's uncertain questioning, he came back to look at the pronunciation place.

Looking at the angry horse in fresh clothes and Liu Xianglian with extraordinary bearing, Baoyu thought of his image at this moment, and finally felt a little ashamed.

Once upon a time, he was also in this shape.

Thinking of what happened after returning to Jinling, Baoyu felt like he was dreaming.

Unexpectedly, the old dream is not awakened, and a new dream is added.

Baoyu was a bit dull at first, but thinking about it now, seeing Liu Xianglian was especially kind, and seeing Tanchun sitting beside Liu Xianglian, he said to himself, "Since Brother Shi recognizes me, you know what I'm doing." It's true. Third sister, I am your second elder brother.

After you hanged yourself, the family couldn't salvage your body, so I knew you must be alive. "

"There are similarities in people and similarities in things. Does this not prove that I am your third sister?"

"But I don't feel heartache? When other sisters and sisters leave, I will feel heartache."

After listening to Jiongjiong, Tanchun asked with spirit, "Then how many sisters and sisters have died in your family?" This kind of awareness must at least die by a dozen.

But the problem is that as far as she knows, this person's sisters seem to be living very strong, except for the concubine who dived and hanged herself.

Well, the concubine who is said to have hanged herself is still alive and happy.

"The mandarin duck is dead, the attacker is gone, and..."

This time around Tanchun, not only the corners of his mouth were twitching, but his heart, liver, spleen and lungs were also twitching.

It turned out to be these sisters and sisters.

She didn't bother to talk to this guy anymore, so she turned her head and said to Liu Xianglian, "This person is too sad, maybe he recognized the wrong person. Since you know this person, go and talk to him. Why did you arrive alone? Here. If you need money, our family still has a few coins, so we might as well help him a little bit."

Tanchun is also very curious about why Baoyu has become what he is today.

She remembered that although Jia's family was in trouble at the beginning, they didn't ransack the house or anything.Jia's mother left the capital with all the people in the second room and part of the family property.

No matter what, Baoyu is the legitimate son and the only remaining son of Mrs. Wang. As long as Mrs. Wang lives for a day, her son will not be so downcast.

He thought of Jia Zhu's family who had been adopted, and then thought of Jia Lian's family who went on their way alone.The only ones who followed Jia Mu back were Baoyu and his wife, the second sister You and her mother.

Second Sister You's temperament is no match for Mrs. Wang, and the child born by Second Sister You is still young, and it is still unknown whether it can be raised. In this case, Mother Jia should not suppress Baoyu too much.

The most important thing is that Baoyu also has a very domineering daughter-in-law, how could she see herself at a disadvantage.

If Tanchun underestimated anyone, he would not underestimate Xia Jingui.With such a daughter-in-law escort, if Baoyu can still suffer, it can only be said to be fate.

"Third sister? You," Baoyu was puzzled and surprised when he heard Tanchun's words. Could it be that the third sister lost her memory after falling into the water and forgot herself.

Baoyu remembered many story books he had read before, which said that when people encounter catastrophe, there will be some abnormalities. For example, losing the memory of the past is the most common one. Perhaps the third sister was frightened when she fell into the water, so she remembered Can't help myself?

Baoyu has always been a kind person, but kindness does not reach his "stomach".But I have to say that Tanchun cheated Baoyu for Zhao Xiuning and Zhao Huan.

Although she only made Baoyu's jade bigger, and although she was not responsible for the series of incidents and rumors that followed, she was the one who started it...

She is duty-bound to send Baoyu home or settle Baoyu's life.

Compared with the Jia family, Tanchun believed that he had done nothing wrong.The Jia family has raised her for more than ten years, but they regard her as a tool.

If she was sent to the palace according to the original plan, perhaps because of her many years of upbringing, she would choose to disappear in the palace and let the royal family give the Jia family an explanation.

After all, the girl was sent to the draft, why did she suddenly disappear?But Jia's family sent her on the road of no return to get married.

Didn't they really think about the consequences of marrying the married girl sent by the defeated party?Normally, girls who get married will die once every three to five years. She, like her, probably won't live for half a year.

The Jia family naturally thought about it, but felt that she was worth it.

If so, what is she waiting for?

If you don't run now, when will you wait?

She was raised by the Jia family, so she will naturally find a way to give back to the descendants of the Jia family in the future.But this can't let her spend her whole life and happiness to repay.

She is a living person, not someone's pet, someone's goods that can be sold.

But having said that, she was willing to lend a helping hand to Baoyu and Yuanchun, the two people who had good intentions towards her at the beginning, especially Jia Baoyu, who was always innocent and innocent.

Tanchun turned his head to the other side, and began to think about how to help Baoyu.Seeing this, Liu Xianglian at the side stood up and walked in front of Baoyu, "Baoyu, Princess Jia has passed away. This is my wife Jiang Shi, the eldest daughter of Mr. Chang'an Jiang."

When Baoyu heard this, he turned his head to look at Tanchun again, and said involuntarily, "How can there be such a similar person." After he finished speaking, he slapped his forehead, "I am stupid, and Baoyu from Zhen's family also grew up with me. This girl, Baoyu is rude." After speaking, he bowed to Tanchun.

Tanchun turned around to avoid it, then turned around without looking over there.

Liu Xianglian let out a sigh of relief, and then asked why Baoyu was so down and out.

Baoyu sighed, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Tears ran across the face covered with stains, and even drew two lines of skin color.

Tanchun swallowed his saliva, and could no longer eat the boiled egg in his hand.
