Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment when he saw Daiyu's expression.
Although Daiyu didn't say anything bad, as a father, this look was still visible.
Didn't the old lady say that the two children get along very well?
He had also deliberately observed that the two children were quite a match regardless of their appearance or age.
Although according to his standards for choosing a son-in-law, Jia Baoyu was almost interested.
But thinking about his physical condition, if Jia Mu really wanted to do this, he still planned to fulfill it. After all, with his daughter's body, he would feel more at ease only if he got married in person.
But now it seems that Yu'er may not be willing in her heart.
Lin Ruhai's original intention was just to probe Daiyu's tone of voice, but when he found something was wrong, he didn't continue to ask any more questions.
Anyway, Yu'er is still young.
…
After Jia Lian left the Lin Mansion, he went directly to the Ministry of War.
I found my second uncle Zhang Song in the chief consul's office of Fang Division.
Zhang Song was quite helpless: "You kid, here you go again!
Haven't I already told you that even I have no right to change the transfer of the entourage this time?"
Jia Lian stepped forward with a smile, bowed, and said with a smile: "My nephew knows, but I don't want my uncle to help me change the personnel accompanying me...
Well, how about asking my uncle, for the sake of the old man, to approve a thousand more horses for my nephew?
With these horses, I can change most of the battle orders to cavalry.
Although the combat effectiveness may not increase much, at least the flexibility has been greatly increased.
Just in case, I mean just in case, if you encounter any danger, you might be able to save lives by adapting to the situation.
Uncle, you can't bear to see your nephew in danger this time, right? Even if the uncle doesn't feel sorry for him, the old man will probably feel sad if he knows about it. If the old man knows that his uncle has rejected the nephew's request, won't he have to blame his uncle?
?”
Because it was Zhang Song's own office and there were no other bureaucrats at this time, Jia Lian simply stepped up his efforts to intimidate him.
As he said, it's thousands of miles away.
Although he has many officers and soldiers, most of them are infantry.
Judging from his one-year experience in the grassland, if something really happens in the thousands of miles of Gobi desert, thousands of infantrymen may not be more useful than thousands of wooden stakes!
Therefore, during this period of time, Jia Lian spent a large part of his energy on trying to mediate to get more cavalry.
I can't tell others, but with a certain number of cavalry, even if they are really in danger and cannot be defeated, they can still run away, right?
When you go out, safety comes first.
The last time he went to the border, he was basically in a state of poverty. It is said that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, so of course they have nothing to fear.
Times have changed and the world has changed. At this time, he has a title of nobility and has only a few wives and concubines, not to mention a group of wives.
You have to think more about them, right?
Besides, he doesn’t even have a son yet. There’s nothing wrong with planning more.
Of course, in front of the emperor, he still had to show a fearless spirit of sacrifice.
"You brat."
Zhang Song is such a refined man, but he once thought that Jia Lian was a refined gentleman.
Who knew that at this time, I would not even give up my dignity for a few horses.
"Okay, you don't have to say whether you have these or not.
For this marriage, most of the men and horses transferred to the Beijing Camp were from the Xie Guerrilla Division of the Beijing Camp.
You must know Xie Jing, too.
You go find him yourself, and as long as you can take it out of his hand, no matter how much it is, you can come over when the time comes and I will approve it for you."
After all, he was his uncle and nephew who came to plead for mercy several times. Moreover, it was not against the law or discipline, it was just accommodating, and he could not refuse with a cold face.
Alas, it seems that when the time comes, I will have to imitate this boy and say good things in front of a few adults...
"Hehehe, thank you very much, uncle.
By the way, when is my second uncle going to the Yamen today? His Majesty my predecessor specially gifted me a few jars of fine wine, and I was thinking of taking them over to honor the old man. Otherwise, my second uncle can also taste it together?"
"The fine wine rewarded by His Majesty..."
Zhang Song's eyes lit up slightly, and then he pretended not to care and said: "Well, I must be very happy to know that you are so filial.
Okay, you come over early tonight and I'll ask your aunt to prepare some dishes.
After all, you are going on a long journey, and we, as a family, have to give you a good send-off.
Well, go ahead."
After coming out of the Ministry of War, the smile on Jia Lian's face faded a lot, and his eyes showed deep contemplation.
Anyone who is a general attaches great importance to the soldiers, horses and equipment under his command.
Zhang Song asked him to go to Xie Jing to ask for it, which was not easy for him.
But he also knew that Zhang Song's ability to do this was already breaking the rules, so he didn't press any further.
Fortunately, the Dingcheng Houfu is also from the lineage of the founding princes, so it gives the Jia family a bit of face.
Moreover, he also knew Xie Jing. Especially since we had a pleasant conversation at Wang Ziteng's house last time, he thought that if he put some thought into it and prescribe the right medicine, he would be able to achieve his goal.
"Second Master, where should we go next?"
Zhaoer and others saw Jia Lian distracted and came up to ask.
Jia Lian got on his horse and ordered: "You guys, go to Zuixian Tower, load a cart of the best wine, and send it to the Dingcheng Hou Mansion, and ask if General Xie is at the house. Let Zuixian Tower do a few more
Have some of the best food to go with the wine."
"What about you, Second Master?"
"I'm going back home."
The owner of Zui Xian Shop sells Jiangnan wines, which are well-known among the public.
But after all, these are wines that can be bought with money.
If you really want to show sincerity, you have to do something different.
Alas, the emperor is really stingy.
For sending him on such a long journey, he was rewarded with several jars of tribute wine.
What this tribute wine can do is that it can serve as the emperor's name. It can be used to entertain people and give gifts, which is more respectable.
I hope that this old Xie also sells the emperor's face...
…
After much preparation, the night before departure arrived in the blink of an eye.
In Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu rarely showed some concern for Jia Lian and asked: "Are you ready for everything outside? Have you arranged everything you need to bring with you and the accompanying guards?"
"I'm ready to report back to our ancestors."
"Um."
After a moment of silence, Jia Mu looked at Jia Lian and waved to him.
Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, then stood in front of Jia Mu.
Jia Mu stretched out her old and fair arm, took Jia Lian's hand, clapped it together, and stared at him with heavy eyes, "Go well and come back well."
Remember, you are a descendant of my Jia family, and you have a heavy and unshirkable responsibility.
We really don’t have many boys in our family, so you must do well, you know..."
It was rare for Jia's mother to show such sincere love and concern for him, which made Jia Lian feel a little surprised and uncomfortable. However, Jia Lian quickly knelt down and said: "Don't worry, ancestor, my grandson will not dare to go against the words of the ancestor."
Siluke
"Okay, go down and have a good rest. If you are in a hurry tomorrow morning, you won't have to come to see me. Just say goodbye tonight."
"yes……"
The Sanchun sisters all showed strong reluctance to part with Jia Lian, but Jia's mother had promised that they would not be allowed to disturb Jia Lian tonight.
We are going on a long journey, so this night should be reserved for the young couple.
Therefore, Yingchun and others could only send a blessing each, and then stop on the backyard porch.
Baochai was originally in her aunt's room, waiting for her mother to talk to her aunt.
I felt bored and walked out.
Going to the back hall, I saw Jia Lian walking towards me.
Baochai said to her heart that tomorrow seems to be the day when brother Lian will go out!
In this case, this is probably the last time I will see him this year.
With this thought in mind, he walked forward naturally.
"It turns out to be sister Baochai, why are you here? How are you, aunt?"
Jia Lian's voice was as slow and slow as ever, which made Baochai very fond of it.
It was as if nothing could make him anxious.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Lian. My mother is fine. I just heard that Brother Lian was leaving Beijing. She originally wanted to come over to see you, but was afraid that you were busy, so she asked me to say hello to Brother Lian if she saw him."
"Thank you for taking the trouble."
After speaking politely and feeling relatively speechless, Jia Lian invited Baochai to come in for tea.
Baochai glanced at the quiet house over there, shook his head silently, then raised his head and looked at Jia Lian, and said softly:
