The winter fog is thick, the willow trees are covered with silver bars, and the lawn is filled with silver makeup.
There is a thick layer of white frost on the needles of the pine trees, like a tree of white autumn chrysanthemums. The breeze blows, and the yellow leaves flutter and fall.
The maid Xue Yan, who was waiting on her young lady, seemed unable to bear to step on the white snowflakes with her little feet.
Creak, creak, creak~
The girl's little face was a little red and itchy from the cold. She didn't understand why her young lady was cooking fish outside in such a cold weather.
However, Xue Yan's young body still stuck close to the back of the little yellow cat that she hated most, intentionally or unintentionally. The place seemed to be radiating as warm and blazing as the sun all the time.
Lin Daiyu picked up a glass of rice wine and stared at the dying trees in the courtyard. The withered leaves fell one by one to the roots of the trees.
After finishing the glass, the girl suddenly remembered the scene when she first met Lele in Yangzhou.
It seemed like a ray of light saved her from the dark, cold, and desperate world.
The light at that time was so hot and bright, but when I actually came into contact with it, I discovered that the light was actually yellow!
After thousands of years, will I still have Lele by my side, so carefree?
A thousand years, what a long time it must be.
"Miss Lin, Miss Lin, it's not good!" A maid rushed in from the yard, the old lady's personal maid Yuanyang.
Waiting for the maid to come in, she took a few breaths and said, "Miss Lin, the eldest man and his wife fell into the water together and are unconscious. The old lady asked you to go to Jia's house quickly. Maybe you can see the eldest man one last time."
Lin Daiyu was startled, then silently picked up the wine glass: "Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
Yuanyang is a little strange, why is Miss Lin so calm when her uncle is gone? Could it be that she is too sad and has forgotten to cry?
"Okay, Miss Lin, hurry up, I'll inform the other tribesmen!" With that said, Yuanyang ran away quickly.
"Why!"
With a deep sigh, Lin Daiyu stood up and looked at the bare trees in the courtyard again.
"Xueyan, you said that Ye Ye's life is just to return to his roots?"
Xue Yan was a little confused.
My uncle is in a coma, what does it have to do with Guigen? Could it be that our ancestors missed him, so they took him away?
"Haha~" Seeing Xue Yan's troubled look, Lin Daiyu smiled slightly and turned around.
The girl took the little yellow cat, who had finished eating and was sleeping soundly on the table, into her arms and slowly walked out the door.
Sometimes Lin Daiyu really envied Lele, who had no sadness and could just eat, drink and have fun all day long, and just find a place to sleep if she wanted to.
Perhaps only this kind of heartlessness, simplicity, and thoughtlessness are the most suitable for his long and immortal life.
Is immortality really good for short-lived creatures like them who only have a lifespan of a hundred years?
…
In the side door of Jia Mansion, doctors are constantly coming and going.
Jia Zheng was not at home, Jia Zhen was unconscious, Jia She suddenly collapsed again, and now there was no man in the huge Jia family to take charge of the overall situation.
Although Mrs. Jia had always looked down on her eldest son, she suddenly panicked when she saw that he was as unconscious as Jia Zhen. She didn't know what to do at all.
As for the remaining men in the house, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu and others just stood there and kept asking the servants to call the doctor. If the doctor provided a prescription, they would look at Jia Mu and let the old lady make up her mind.
Opinions? They don’t have any.
Finally, Jia Lan, the youngest, stood up and sat in the middle hall as a first-class general, giving orders one by one.
"First: Let Wang Xifeng go to the palace to find Concubine Yuanchun, and then ask the imperial doctor to come for consultation.
Second: Send people to inform all branches and clans and related relatives, and also invite people who are responsible for funeral arrangements, and make preparations for the table, etc., so that if there is an accident, you will not be in a hurry.
Third: The servants and guards at home perform their respective duties, and there is no need to rush around and move around randomly to prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters."
Jia Baoyu stood at the door, looking at Jia Lan. This junior who once humbled himself, respected him, and even asked for advice. Now he was handling all matters in the house in an orderly manner, and the servants and maids also treated him with respect.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that he was inferior to him.
Turning around, I saw Brother Jia Lian wandering around blankly, and suddenly I figured it out. What Jia Lan did was actually written in the book. If he was allowed to do it, it would be fine!
The servants and maids are so respectful, but they are not the master of Jialan Rongguo Mansion, a first-class general? He can go to him!
"It's not good, it's not good, Mr. Bao, there is someone outside the door asking Sun Shaozu to come and make trouble!" Yuanyang came over and grabbed Baoyu's hand and shouted.
When Jia Baoyu heard this, he immediately puffed up his chest and walked outside.
As long as you give him a chance to show off, he will be as good as anyone else.
Look at him today, the light is born from the dust, shining through thousands of mountains and rivers!
Outside the door, the tall, strong and fierce Sun Shaozu stood at the door and shouted loudly.
"Ah, what do you mean by Jia's family? I've already paid the betrothal gift, and Yingchun is a member of my Sun family. Now that old guy Jia She is dying, I'm here to pick up my wife, why are you stopping me?
Does it still make sense? Is there still a royal law?"
The more Sun Shaozu thought about it, the angrier he became. The Sun family had relied on the Jia family to make their fortune before, and they had just come to Kyoto from the north not long ago. I didn't know it at the time, but the dignified general Jia She asked him to borrow money, so he was naturally very happy.
The relationship is that there are comings and goings.
If I borrowed his money today, wouldn't I have the opportunity to help him find a good official position in the future? Unexpectedly, Jia She's appetite grew bigger and bigger, and he had even borrowed a total of five thousand taels of silver.
Five thousand taels, how much is that? Generally speaking, a family with fertile fields may only earn a total of twenty taels of silver a year.
When it comes to looking for him to do things, Jia She always talks about him, always saying that he needs to find a suitable opportunity, or that there is no shortage of people for the time being.
Later, he also said that he would not return the five thousand taels at all, and let the two families get closer and marry their daughter to him.
Sun Shaozu naturally agreed happily.
Jia Mansion, the leader of the generals, isn't this him reaching a high level? How flattering!
As a result, until now, he relied on his family's connections to command the Imperial Army.
When I got to his position, I made some inquiries and found out that Jia She, a first-class general, was actually a paper-thin, with no power or reputation.
Damn it, I was cheated!
Even if Jia She falls, his debts will be wiped out, his money will be gone, and his wife may be gone. Can he bear this?
Draft it? Pay back the money!
"Where did you come from? You are barking in Jia's house. Be careful, I will pick you up!" Jia Baoyu shouted angrily when he came out.
Sun Shaozu: "Who are you talking about, little bastard?"
"You little bastard," Baoyu's smile faltered, realizing that he had been deceived.
"Hahaha~" Sun Shaozu and the brothers he brought burst out laughing.
"You!" Baoyu raised his finger and pointed at Sun Shaozu, glaring angrily.
She has been pampered since she was a child. Except for her father who scolded her like this, no one would dare to say such things about him.
"Hmph~" Sun Shaozu snorted coldly, and stood directly in front of Jia Baoyu in a few steps, looking down.
"There's no one in Jia's house anymore? Why let a little brat come out and talk?"
Looking up, Jia Baoyu felt timid when he saw Sun Shaozu's ferocious figure, which was half the size of him whether viewed horizontally or vertically.
It's so big and so ruthless. If you really fight, you will be beaten, right?
"Baoyu, are you okay?" Yingchun rushed out after hearing the news and stood behind Baoyu and shouted timidly.
Jia Baoyu was startled: "Sister Yingchun, leave quickly, this madman wants to come to the house to cause trouble!"
"Yingchun?" Upon hearing this name, Sun Shaozu looked at the little girl up and down, and his eyes lit up.
The beautiful and smooth plate is a great toy! With the title of Miss Jia Fu, he can play with it for three years!
Sun Shaozu stepped forward and grabbed Jia Yingchun's arm: "Your father owed me five thousand taels of silver and lost you to me. It just so happens that I will come home with you today to pay off the debt!"
"Ah, no, help!" Yingchun suddenly panicked.
"You are so outrageous that you dare to rob a famous woman in broad daylight. Do you still have the right to do it?" Jia Baoyu's pretty face turned red, she grabbed Sun Shaozu's arm and shouted.
"Wang Fa? Debts should be repaid, and fathers should repay their debts. This is a matter of course! This is a matter between me and Miss Yingchun. You kid, get out of here!" As he said this, Sun Shaozu waved Jia Baoyu aside with his big hand.
Jia Baoyu couldn't resist, so he took three steps back, and finally fell to the ground. Finally he couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
"Wow~"
Hearing the young man in brocade clothes crying, Sun Shaozu was very disdainful and said directly: "Bah! A grown man dresses like a girl and is still flirting with me. If word spreads, will I still have the face?"
As he spoke, he spat in front of Jia Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu was furious and clenched his little fists. Ever since he was a child, no one had ever dared to insult him like this!
"Follow me!" Sun Shaozu squeezed Yingchun's arm and prepared to go back.
The skinny camel was bigger than the horse and was causing trouble in front of the prince's door. Although no one had come to care about him until now, he still felt something was wrong.
Why did he come over after being provoked by his subordinates?
Yingchun was so frightened that his face turned pale. He was no longer the same as he had been in the past, and his whole body sank to the ground, dragging him back for life.
If I were taken to this gangster's house today, I wouldn't be able to tell anyone clearly from now on. If it's not shit, it's just shit.
"Pah~" Seeing that it was troublesome to drag him down, Sun Shaozu just slapped him.
"Your father gave me five thousand silver and sold you to me at a discount. If you don't obey me again, I will take you back, beat you up, and throw you to sleep in the lower chamber.
When your grandfather was here that day, he wanted to get our wealth and rush to give it to you. In theory, your father and I are the same generation, but now your father has forced my head and sold out my whole life.
I shouldn't have become a relative of this family, so that it looks like I'm a snobbery trying to get rich in your family."
With Sun Shaozu's size, Yingchun was completely stunned by the slap, and he didn't even realize he was being dragged.
Jia Baoyu, who was leaning against the corner, clenched his fists tighter and wanted to get up and fight this man. But for some reason, he seemed to have no strength and couldn't get up.
"Ah!" He yelled with red eyes, but Mr. Bao hadn't gotten up yet.
Sun Shaozu was startled, so he went up and kicked him: "Madeh, what's your name? You scared me!"
There were a few servants watching at the side door, but looking at the tall military masters behind Sun Shaozu who were carrying swords, they didn't dare to move.
Ever since Wang Xifeng led his people to repair the servants one by one, they, the servants, can only earn five taels of silver a month at most. Why should they fight for such a small amount of money for their masters?
Besides, these gangsters all carry knives and according to the law they cannot stop them.
However, in line with the professional spirit of being servants, the servants all cried and shouted at the door, and some even hurried into the house to ask Master Jialan or the old lady to come out and make the decision.
The prince's family cannot be insulted!
"Let's go!" Sun Shaozu dragged Yingchun away after kicking the girly boy.
Such a beautiful little girl looked like a young girl at first glance. She had to have a good time tonight. This was a woman worth five thousand taels! He wanted to take a closer look to see if such a girl was adorned with gold and jade.
Not far out, Sun Shaozu clasped his fists at the few guards who were following him: "Thank you brothers for your compliments today. Later, we will invite you brothers to Zhaixing Tower for a nice drink."
"Okay, Commander Sun is upright!"
Sun Shaozu's dark old face was full of smiles. They were all Qiu Ba. It was too easy to subdue these subordinates. Money, drinking, eating meat, and women. With these, you can fight wherever you want.
After dragging Yingchun for two more steps, Sun Shaozu paused when suddenly two girls blocked the road in front of him.
A man in red robes and brocade clothes, with bright eyes and white teeth, was holding a little yellow cat. A maid was dressed as a maid, half a step behind, and two little girls did not even retreat in the face of this seven-foot-old man.
He happened to have a bad temper at this time and was about to curse.
"Meet the Lord Lin."
"Bloody hands. Meet County Lord Lin!"
Sun Shaozu was stunned and turned his head. Only then did he realize that among the men who had flaunted their might with him before, including the dignified Imperial Guards of Kyoto, some of them bowed deeply, and some knelt down on one knee. After careful observation, some of them were
Some even had their legs and feet trembling.
What's going on? I'm the boss and I haven't fallen yet. Why did you get scared first?
"You are Sun Shaozu. The engagement has not yet been concluded. Why do you kidnap my sister Yingchun?" Lin Daiyu said lightly.
Sun Shaozu raised his head and met the girl's eyes. He couldn't even spit out the curses in his mouth.
Although he was much taller and more powerful than the girl, for some reason, he seemed to be a bit shorter, which even reminded him of the mountain-like Buddha statue he faced when he went to the temple.
The mountains stand tall.
After hesitating for a while, Sun Shaozu stiffened his neck and said weakly: "It is a natural and right thing for a father to pay his debts to his daughter. Under the feet of the emperor, do you still want to bully others with your power? Use the big to bully the small. You can't do it if you don't follow the king's laws!"
As soon as the words fell, a figure rushed out from behind the girl, who was the security guard responsible for the Lin Mansion.
Seeing Guard Zhan, Sun Shaozu was shocked: "Commander Zhan, why are you here?"
Commander Zhan snorted coldly, stepped forward and slapped him.
"Snapped!"
"Why am I here? Do I need to report to you when I go there?
King's Law? What is your status, and you are qualified to discuss King's Law with me?
Brothers, give him a good fix!"
Hearing this, several guards who had been calling Sun Shaozu brothers just now stood up quickly. However, for the sake of brotherly love, everyone hesitated for a whole breath before punching and kicking each other harder than the other.
"Commander, I'll come, don't be tired!"
"Commander, look at this move of mine. With one punch, there is no wound at all."
…
Sun Shaozu, who was knocked to the ground in a few strokes, subconsciously protected his head, his eyes filled with confusion.
We are all members of the Imperial Guard, so why did we come to beat him instead?
Besides, he was still being reasonable.
It turns out that being beaten hurts so much!
Woohoo, he's being reasonable! These people bully honest people.
Yingchun hurriedly ran to Sister Lin's side. She was in shock, but there was a strange look in her eyes.
In the future, I will be like Sister Lin and be a master!
