"From now on, you will be divided into four groups, Nan Qiao, Zhuo Hua, Gan Tang, and Xiang Yin."
With a sharp gaze, Jia Xuan selected the four girls with the highest cultivation and the best physique from the twenty girls and named them
""Yes, Duke!"
All the girls answered in unison, with a gleam in their eyes.
At this time, Jia Xuan looked at the curious little Xichun and said with a smile:"Sister, the maids and old women in your courtyard are from the West Mansion.--"
"You can keep a few of them and send the rest back. They will be responsible for accompanying you."
"These people have cultivation skills, enough to protect you."
"Okay, then let's keep Ruhua and Cai'er."
Xichun tilted her head, thought about it, and replied.
According to the rules of the Jia family, the three sisters had four nurses, two maids who took care of their hairpins and bracelets, and five or six maids who cleaned the house and went around. Ruhua and Cai'er were the maids.
"Xiangyin"
"
You will follow your sister from now on.
""Yes."
An oval-faced woman wearing a plain lotus dress came out and answered.
Little Xichun looked at her innocently, which made Xiangyin feel a lot of favor for this"little sister".
"Lin Meimei"
"Zijuan, who was sent by the old lady, was driven back along with the others."
"If you don't have enough manpower, I can also arrange some people to go to your hospital."
"Brother Xuan, is this appropriate?"
Hearing this, Lin Daiyu's cold and beautiful eyes showed an interested look.
The people sent by Jia Mansion thought that it was her grandmother's pity for her, but they didn't know that these people were used to pretending to be big and often sent messages to Rongguo Mansion, and never let go of any movement of Lin Daiyu.
Jia Baoyu came to visit her many times, which made Lin Daiyu very annoyed. Those maids, especially Zijuan, never stopped him, but deliberately indulged him.
Obviously, these people sent by Jia's grandmother knew to match her with Jia Baoyu, but they didn't care about Lin Daiyu's feelings. The only person she could trust was Xueyan, who was brought from her hometown in Suzhou.
"No problem!"
"Gan Tang, take some people with Lin Daiyu."
With a wave of his hand, Jia Xuan made the decision.
In the original novel, when the Grand View Garden was searched, the maids found two pairs of Baoyu's name charms, a pair of shawls, two purses and fan cases with fans in them from Zijuan's room. When they opened them, they were all things Baoyu used in the past.
It can be seen that the maids sent by Jia's mother had an attitude towards Jia Baoyu, and perhaps they even had some affection for him. It would be beneficial for these people to stay with Lin Daiyu. In the next plan, Lin Ruhai is a crucial figure.
"Thank you, Brother Xuan."
Lin Daiyu gladly accepted it, and her feelings for Jia Xuan grew stronger.
"elder brother"
"You don't know that these days, the maids and old women in the West Mansion are very vicious."
"One by one, they said Sister Lin was clinging to the rich and powerful, and that she was not doing her duty."
"But it was Brother Bao who came to see her every day, not Sister Lin who asked him to come."
Little Xichun pouted and complained to Jia Xuan.
"Hmm?"
Jia Xuan frowned instantly:"Baoyu often comes to visit, and Xifu never stops him, and there are rumors?"
Although Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion are both located on Ningrong Street, they are not close to each other, and it is not as simple as just visiting each other.
In the past, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and others would not go to Rongguo Mansion unless they had important matters.
Jia Baoyu, the legitimate son of Rongguo Mansion, comes to Ningguo Mansion every day to play with the women. Is this acceptable?
If this continues, will Lin Daiyu's reputation be ruined?
At the beginning, the reason why he agreed to let Lin Daiyu come to the East Mansion was to avoid the original novel, where Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu lived together in Rongqing Hall.
You must know that in the original novel, the green gauze cabinet where Lin Daiyu lived and the big bed where Jia Baoyu slept were only separated by a door.
Later, the reason why Lin Daiyu struggled with Jia Baoyu was not entirely out of affection, but because she had to do it. She really thought that a family like the Jia family, which was leaky on all sides, could hide anything from the officials and nobles in Beijing. Who knew that Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu had been getting along like this since childhood, and dared to propose marriage?
"Those vicious words were spread by Zhou Ruijia."
Lin Daiyu is very smart and has known all this for a long time, but she has never told anyone.
Now that Jia Xuan is here, she no longer hides it and tells it all, with anger on her beautiful face.
The Lin family has been a family of scholars for generations, and her father Lin Ruhai is a third-rank doctor of Lantai Temple. How could he not know etiquette? If these rumors spread, how can she live like this?
"Good, very good!"
"It seems that I was too lenient and some people mistakenly thought that I was charitable."
"And Baoyu, at this age, he is still playing with his sisters. How can this be allowed?"
"My Jia family has three dukes, and we cannot allow such people who ruin our family tradition to exist."
"Sister Lin, please take a rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the West Mansion to question the old lady.
Facing Lin Daiyu's beautiful eyes, Jia Xuan said righteously.
"In this case, I will leave it to Brother Xuan."
Lin Daiyu bowed gracefully, her heart filled with gratitude.
"Master!"
"The hot water is ready.
Nan Qiao said quietly.
""Okay!"
Jia Xuan looked at Lin Daiyu and Xichun, and said,"Sister Lin, stay here with me and play. I will discuss something with you later."
As he spoke, he had already walked into the inner room.
Lin Daiyu and little Xichun sat obediently in the main room, waiting quietly.
In the inner room, a group of maids, led by Nan Qiao and Zhuo Hua, came forward to untie Jia Xuan's black armor. The bloodstains on it and the traces of knife and gun stabbing made people feel nervous. After the black armor was removed, the silk clothes inside were exposed.
"Well!!!"
"Brother!"
Little Xichun, who had come in at some point, saw Jia Xuan and exclaimed
"Fourth sister."
Lin Daiyu, who was sitting outside, hurried in and also froze in place, her face suddenly turned pale.
Jia Xuan, who came into view, was covered with pink marks all over his body, which seemed to be the blood scabs that had just faded. How could there be no traces when thousands of troops passed through? This was because he was a congenital warrior, and his true qi protected his vital parts, leaving only some horrible-looking skin injuries. If the
Overlord Xiang Yu was alive, he would have been chopped into pieces by 300,000 Jurchen Tartars.
"Zhuohua, why don't you take them out?"
Jia Xuan shouted helplessly.
Such a scene was too shocking for the two young girls who were naive about the world.
""Yes."
Zhuohua hurried forward, took Xiao Xichun's hand, and led her out of the inner room.
Even Lin Daiyu didn't know how she left, her mind was still full of the image of Jia Xuan's wounds.
The young Duke galloped on the battlefield, traversing three thousand miles of Modong and Liaodong, beheading the enemy chiefs, destroying the enemy country, one by one, one by one, sang in people's mouths, these are the deeds of a great hero, and his name will go down in history.
However, no one knows what a cruel battlefield is behind these things, with hundreds of scars, and it is not easy to come out alive!...........
It was late at night, a bright moon was hanging high in the sky, and the cold moonlight filled the east courtyard of Ningguo Mansion.
Lin Daiyu and Xichun in the main room had not yet come to their senses, and had no idea that Jia Xuan had come out. He had changed into a simple plain white brocade dress, and tied his hair with a top-quality mutton-fat jade hairpin, looking more and more like a gentleman, as gentle as jade.
"What are Sister and Sister Lin thinking about? They are so engrossed.
Jia Xuan covered Xichun's little head with his big hand and rubbed it.
"Ah?"
At this time, Lin Daiyu and Xichun came back to their senses.
Little Xichun's chubby face was full of worry:"Brother"
"Can you please not go to war?"
In Xiao Xichun's heart, as long as her brother doesn't go to war, he won't get hurt. This is the purest thought of a child.
"good!"
"Brother promised sister"
"Let's make a promise, and we won't change it for a hundred years!"
Jia Xuan squatted down and raised his thumb.
""Hehe!"
Little Xichun and Jia Xuan made a pinky promise, and their little faces were suddenly filled with smiles.
Seeing this scene, Lin Daiyu's eyes were shining with excitement. No one would have thought that the Duke of Qin, who was an invincible killer outside, would have such a childlike side when he returned home, and would be very caring towards his younger sister.
Immediately, Jia Xuan handed them two Miao Daos that were suitable for the two girls' stature. These were knives made of Wootz steel, which were the sharpest and toughest.
After learning martial arts, Lin Daiyu and Xichun didn't care much about jewelry and cosmetics. Instead, the Miao Dao, which was as slender as a seedling and light, won the love of the two girls. They held it in their arms and left the courtyard happily.
""Master!"
After watching them leave, Jiang Gao, Gu Huai, and Bei Shi, who had been waiting for a long time, spoke
"How is the situation in Xishan?"
Jia Xuan asked with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep.
Jiang Gao, who had escorted the nobles of the Balin and Khorchin tribes back early, immediately reported:"Return to the main"
"The construction of the Xishan camp has been initially completed. The military camp is located in the mountains, with towns outside. A large number of refugees have been recruited to reclaim wasteland."
"The area within a hundred miles is under our control. Even a stray dog from outside will be driven away."
·· ········Request flowers····· ···
"In the past few days, all the spies were killed on the spot, leaving no one alive, shocking all forces."
·· ········Request flowers····· ···
"Not bad."
Jia Xuan nodded with satisfaction, looked towards the Forbidden City, and said coldly:"Some people always think they can control the world."
"But they don't know that in the end, they are the real frogs in the well."
"Three thousand people, so what? Three thousand Dragon Guards can defeat an army of one hundred thousand."
"Xishan is backed by Taihang Mountains. The 800-li Taihang Mountains have bred countless rare and exotic animals."
"In Liaodong, the Hada tribe, Huifa tribe, and Jianzhou Jurchens would continuously send ginseng, deer antlers and other tonic herbs."
"With the help of these resources, the overall martial arts skills of the Longxiong Guard are growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. If there are three thousand martial artists in the future, who in the world can compete with me?"
"From now on, the young refugees recruited by Xishan Manor will undergo some martial arts training and then be sent to various places to open escort agencies and horse-drawn carriages."
"Apart from providing them with some gold and silver, the rest is up to them to do on their own. How they grow and develop depends entirely on themselves."
"In time, these escort agents and carriage drivers will become elite soldiers who have experienced battles."
"Dajing Two Capitals and Thirteen Provinces, every prefecture and county must be infiltrated, you are responsible for the construction of the escort agency and the carriage and horse company"
""Understood!"
Jiang Gao responded in a deep voice, his face becoming more serious.
Undoubtedly, the escort agency and the carriage and horse company were all means of concealing the truth. This was the seed of the army that Jia Xuan had established in a different way.
The Dajing army was already terminally ill. No matter what the considerations were, they had to choose a replacement from now on.
....... 0
....... 0
"Kitaya"
"The incorporation of Yuntai has dramatically increased the strength of the Black Guards"
"Regarding the training of the Trusty Eagle, we must speed up and fully implement it"
"In addition to the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the country, the southern part of the country, Japan and even overseas need to deploy spies"
"I must keep abreast of the movements of the South Seas and even the world, especially those Western barbarians."
"There are also some people to look for, Tian Wenjing, Li Wei, Liu Yong, Ji Xiaolan, Liu Tongxun, and Dai Zi."
Casting his eyes on Bei Shi, the leader of the Black Guard, Jia Xuan said in a deep voice
""Yes!"
Bei Shi agreed with great excitement.
Then, only Gu Huai was left at the scene, and Jia Xuan continued:"Du Bai is already the governor of Modong, and Tongliao City and Chengde Prefecture are under his control."
"The three thousand Dragon Guards are my private soldiers. They don't need orders from the imperial court to move them."
"In addition to entering Taihang to hunt, these people also need to maintain their combat effectiveness at all times. Grasslands and Liaodong are the best choices."
"How to strike the right balance is up to you to decide. In short, I want to see a reborn Dragon Guard."
"I will not let my master down!"
Gu Huai's eyes were more determined than ever.
"General!"
"These are the actions of the Ning and Rong mansions during this period."
"There are many things about girls in here."
Beiya couldn't help but hand over a stack of reports.
‘"Shua!!!"
After taking the report, Jia Xuan read it carefully, and the content inside made him look gloomier.
Originally, when Xichun moved into Ningguo Mansion, Jia's mother, in order to show her love, sent all the supplies from Rongguo Mansion. However, it was recorded here that Rongguo Mansion stopped providing Xichun with daily supplies after he left, not to mention clothes and jewelry, even rouge and powder.
It was only after Youshi and Qin Keqing knew about it that they opened another supply.
In comparison, Lin Daiyu was the orphan of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min. The servants of Rongguo Mansion only dared to say a few more words, how could they do anything?
"Good, good job, do you think I won't kill anyone?"
In extreme hatred, Jia Xuan's innate true energy could not help but be released, completely crushing all the reports.
Before going to the battle, he specifically told everyone to take good care of Xichun, because Xichun was the only person he cherished in this world. Whether it was Jia Jing or other people in the Jia family, there was no family affection for him at all.
But now, Xichun suffered so much grievances, and no one from the West Mansion came forward. Obviously, someone was behind it.
This is intolerable!
"The main"
"Should we send someone now?..."
Beiya's left hand turned into a sword and made a killing gesture.
"Need not"
"You just do your thing"
"It's late today, my sisters are all asleep, I'll cook these stupid things tomorrow"
"Gu Huai, mobilize 300 Dragon Guards to be ready to obey my orders at any time."
With a cold face, Jia Xuan's words were full of murderous intent.
"Yes." Bei Shi and Gu Huai responded one after another and left.
