"Hey hey hey..." A suppressed laughter came from the side.
Jia Lian has regretted coming to Yangzhou countless times today.
Things shouldn't be like this!
"Well..." His face was pinched again by a pair of white and tender hands.
How many times has it been impossible to give people a good meal?
Jia Min couldn't help but want to pinch Jia Lian's face to confirm whether it was true.
He pinched and released, took a few mouthfuls of rice, wanted to confirm again, stretched out his hand and pinched again.
Sitting opposite, Xiao Daiyu saw her cousin's desperate look, and tried hard not to spit out the rice in her mouth. She covered her mouth and wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
Old Mrs. Lin couldn't stand it any longer and stretched out her left hand to knock Jia Min's restless hand off Jia Lian's numb little face.
Jia Lian glanced at Mrs. Lin gratefully.
Lin Hai lowered his head and said nothing, eating his rice silently.
"I've finished eating. Let's go down and rest first. Hai'er, don't neglect Brother Lian."
The old lady is also getting older and eats less and less.
Jia Lian quickly stood up and his mother-in-law helped Lin's mother to stand up. Others at the table also stood up quickly. They waited for the old lady to return to the house and then stopped doing it again.
"Lian'er, before I have time to ask, why are you here?"
Jia Min spoke first.
"Go back to aunt. This time my nephew was ordered by the old lady and the master to go down to the south of the Yangtze River with the boat to visit your aunt. When the family heard the news about my aunt's pregnancy, they were all very happy. They quickly collected a boatload of treasures for me to send to you. Here you go, there are so many good things!”
Jia Lian emphasized that he was here under orders and hinted at something.
Jia Min is also the eldest daughter of the Duke's family, so why can't she tell that Jia Lian is seeking benefits?
"Little Slippery, good things are indispensable to you. By the way, how are your grandmother and others doing lately?"
Jia Min smiled and tapped Jia Lian's forehead with her finger. She thought of something else and quickly asked about the situation at home.
"Everything is fine, the old lady is obsessed with listening to operas recently, and the tired actors at home stick out their tongues every day.
The master and the second uncle have been doing well recently. Brother Zhu won the imperial examination, and sister Yuan is also going to participate in the general election. The father-in-law who came to the house to announce the decree said that he was going to select a talent show for the princes who had returned from training.
My eldest brother is even more remarkable. I heard from the uncles of the historians that when he comes back to receive rewards, he will at least be a marquis! "
Jia Lian excitedly told Jia Min about the situation at home. Jia Min, like a lady, listened quietly to the information from his nephew and breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.
Everyone is having a great time!
"Wait a minute, Brother Lian, my aunt wants to know who this Sister Feng you are talking about is..."
When Jia Lian was talking forgetfully, Jia Min was keenly aware of an unusual name and narrowed his eyes to look at Jia Lian.
"Ah, Sister Feng, Feng, she, she is..."
Jia Lian regretted and wanted to slap himself twice for blurting out Sister Feng's words. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say it.
"Feng, Sister Feng is Second Aunt's niece, the eldest lady of the Wang family. A while ago, she often came to our house to play with Second Aunt's second sister-in-law."
Jia Min understood.
He had also heard about Wang Ziteng being demoted to a gatekeeper. It seemed that it was because Wang Ziteng started walking around the house.
I actually hate the Wang family, especially my second sister-in-law Wang Shuqing. It was obvious that he was a high-ranking member of the Jia family, but his father finally relented and married his second brother, who had no chance of getting a title.
Just like that, she still looked like a eldest lady when she got married, as if my Jia family had surpassed the Wang family.
She also yells at her from time to time to teach herself and joke around. It is a family tradition that the Wang family has a family tradition where girls have no talent but virtue. How can they be better than themselves?
She choked several times in front of everyone, leaving her speechless and losing face.
Still want to challenge your sister-in-law to be a housekeeper? I'm thinking blindly.
Even she, Jia Min, can't defeat her, so she dares to challenge Sister-in-law Smiling Tiger? There are no doors.
She, Miss Jia, had her flesh cut by her sister-in-law's soft knife, and was held unknowingly.
It’s just my sister-in-law...sigh.
The sister-in-law left anyway.
"Do you like that Sister Feng?" Jia Min went straight to the point.
"Ah, no, my eldest brother said, 'If there is no woman in my heart, I will draw my sword to the God of Nature'. How could I, Jia Lian, like that big female insect!" Jia Lian spoke incoherently, not only his face but also his neck was red.
"That means you like it?"
Jia Lian felt as if his neck was being strangled.
"I feel very happy to be with her, and she smells very good. I want to play with her all the time..."
Jia Min understood and sighed in her heart. A Wang daughter has married into the family. What if there is another second sister-in-law?
Forget it, my eldest brother and mother always have ways to deal with it anyway. Why do I, a married woman, always worry about my mother's family?
"Okay, okay, we've finished eating. Let's go and have a rest. Madam, you are also pregnant and your body is heavy. It's better to go back and rest. Brother Lian, you should go and have a rest too. Let your sister take you for a walk in the afternoon. Visit the Censor's Mansion."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Lin Hai stood up and said.
Jia Lian quickly followed her mother-in-law to the guest room.
. . . . . .
Jia Minyuan.
Lin Hai sat on the chair and looked tenderly at his wife who was lying on the bed against the quilt.
He had already figured out the nature of the person on the bed. He was heartless, but he could see clearly. When you are angry, just vent your anger on the spot, and you will immediately be able to talk and laugh like a normal person.
I don’t know who my daughter’s sentimental temperament comes from.
"Ruhai, another daughter from the Wang family is going to marry into the Rongguo Mansion." Jia Min spoke.
"I can't help it. I remember that Sister Feng came with us when we got married, right? That's it, the daughter of the boss of the Wang family.
The eldest son of the Wang family, Wang Ziqi, was born in the same year as me. Unfortunately, he died young. If we really count, he is the successor of the Wang family. The Wang family is also a member of our Jinling family. No matter what, he belongs to brother Lian. What a good match, even if we are not satisfied, what's the use? "
The so-called Jinling sect is actually not limited to the local Jinling people. For example, the Lin family is a large family in Gusu. The Zhen family also moved to Jinling from elsewhere.
The main reason is that this group of people are willing to get closer, and most of them are from Jinling, and their base camp is also in Jinling, so they are called the Jinling Sect.
"Well, my second sister-in-law left a very deep impression on me. The only girl from the Wang family who has a good impression is also a person who likes to flatter others and put others down. She is probably better than them and has a softer personality. I just don't know what Wang Xifeng is. No matter how good it is, that’s all, why worry about it, so as not to tire my son."
The doting on Jia Min's face seemed to condense into water. A pair of jade hands slowly rubbed her lower abdomen, as if she could touch the child in her belly.
"If I have another son, if I can make a good relationship with Daiyu, my life will be complete."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you have one 'good' child? Why do you need three?"
"Three? Is this a cat? How many are born in one litter?"
Jia Min still wants to maintain her ladylike persona.
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Jia Min was tired. Lin Hai quickly lowered the curtain on Jia Min's bedside and walked out gently.
. . . . . .
plateau.
Jia Hui left all the wounded soldiers and 400 men to garrison the reform, and his brother Hou Kuang, who was born in the Xiuguo Palace, was in charge.
After staying for three days to rest, we set off again.
They began to march by day and night again.
From here on, the number of shepherds increased.
Among Jia Hui's more than 6,500 people, he sent a thousand troops to detect and guard the surrounding areas to minimize the chance of being discovered.
Except for the veterans who were brought along with them, the other prisoners were all imprisoned in Gai Ze.
For no reason, just because he has rich survival experience and is familiar with the geographical features along the way. Asr knew the road, but when asked about the trails, Asr was blinded.
"General, Serin is wrong ahead."
Five days later, in the early morning, Jia Huibu arrived at a large lake.
After careful identification by the veteran, it was confirmed that this was Serin Lake.
According to Tubo's saying, Cuo is a lake, and Serincuo is Serin Lake.
"So, what we passed just now was Mount Khampa Dochen?"
"Back to General, the big mountain in the south is Khampa Doqin Mountain." Asr replied quickly.
"I got it, tell the people below to set up camp and rest, and walk close to the mountains to Lake Namtso tomorrow." We ran all night. Now that the days are short and the nights are long, the time for everyone to travel is getting longer and longer. After walking for most of the day, everyone has also It's reached its limit.
Chagan Bari and Shui Che agreed and went down to make arrangements.
Shi Yuanxiu and Chen Jingyuan came over.
"Brother Hui, it's almost time to calm down. This battle is finally over. It's not easy. It's been almost five months since we got here from Dihua, right?" Chen Jingyuan sighed.
"Almost, we set off in early June, and now it will be November in a few days. It's the most difficult time." Shi Yuanxiu also sighed for a while.
"As the old saying goes, a man who has traveled a hundred miles is only half a mile, but how many people have just breathed a sigh of relief at the last step and failed? You must know that persisting to the end is the most difficult thing."
Jia Hui took out a small map.
"Next, we have to go south along the Kangba Duoqin Mountain, bypassing the Namtso Lake, and then climb the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain. The whole thing is right under our noses.
There is another obstacle in the middle. Bangor City is here. According to Asir and the old Tibetan soldier, there are also one thousand households here. The city is a little bigger than Gaize, but it is also limited. It is still four thousand and two people. With Qian Yanhou's strategy, there will be no obstacles to defeating Bango, and then I don't need to say anything more, right? "
Chen Shi and Chen Shi would also smile. When the time came, they would rush in and kill people and kill Buddhas.
"By the way, go tell Lao Liang and the others that they can start configuration."
Lao Liang was the master craftsman who accompanied the army this time. It was he who led the men to make repairs along the way, and they were able to walk from the Gobi to the plateau.
He will also do the final weapons building.
The next evening.
The soldiers packed up the things in the temporary camp in an orderly manner, skillfully clearing the traces. They are all veterans, and these things have become instinctive.
Three hundred miles to the southwest from here is Bangor, three hundred miles away is Namtso Lake, and further south is Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain. At the foot of the mountain is Luocheng, who has been thinking about it day and night for five months.
Thinking of this, the soldiers felt full of strength.
Each person took a portion of meat porridge and dried meat that Huotoujun had heated in advance, and couldn't help but sigh, it turns out that meat can be eaten until you get tired of it.
From the very beginning of fried rice, I continued to drink it for a month. After they finished drinking it, they switched to fried noodles and continued drinking it for more than a month. The grains changed, but the dried meat kept drinking. They drank it as if they were being tortured three times a day, and they were hopeless.
Especially after switching to fried noodles, the mushy texture would have been slapped on the head of the gangtoujun long ago if there was nothing else to eat. Some people wanted to do this, but when they saw the master of the gangtoujun was about to push the thick of his thigh When I opened my arms, I followed my inner choice.
The third change of ingredients was the recent capture of Gaize. They finally changed from fried noodles to highland barley. The entire highland barley in Gaize City was requisitioned. In exchange, they gave the remaining fried noodles to the local residents. The local residents It was also my first time to eat this, and I immediately replaced the highland barley with fried noodles as if I was taking advantage.
It’s hard to say who suffered the loss.
In order to rush on the road, everyone ate on the horse. The horse followed the horse and would not fall behind in this relatively flat place.
Six thousand five hundred Qi troops slowly but surely advanced towards the king on the plateau.
