Chapter 265 Baochai: I can't say... I'm sneering in my heart
Facing the eyes of one after another, Jia Heng nodded and said: "A month ago, under the order of the Holy Majesty, I went out to Beijing to suppress the bandits. Now the bandits in the counties of Sanfu have calmed down. The year is approaching and the soldiers want to return. The heart is burning day by day, and it is time for the teacher to return to Beijing."
Hearing this, Xue Pan smiled enviously and said, "No wonder, cousin, I saw that the camp stretched for several miles. I saw that there must be tens of thousands of people. Cousin, how many soldiers do you have to lead?" ?”
Aunt Xue's heart skipped a beat when she asked this question, she quickly glared at Xue Pan, then looked at Jia Heng, and said, "Brother Heng, Pan'er is a child who speaks neither lightly nor seriously, how many soldiers are he leading? It’s not like you can inquire about it indiscriminately, right?”
Jia Heng nodded, and said: "Auntie said it is true, the number of troops can be regarded as the secret of military aircraft, and careful spying on military aircraft is a matter of beheading in the army."
Aunt Xue and Xue Pan: "..."
Jia Heng said again: "But Brother Wenlong is young and curious, so it doesn't matter."
Both Aunt Xue and Xue Pan breathed a sigh of relief.
Baochai, on the other hand, watched the young man talking to his mother from beginning to end, and couldn't help but glance at his elder brother.
Heart sighed faintly.
His age is not much older than his brother's, but whether it's his manner of speaking or his status, it's all a matter of difference.
Xue Pan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Cousin Heng still understands me, I'm just curious, how dare I spy on the military plane, let's talk about the family, it's okay to talk about these things, speaking of it, uncle is also in charge Jingying, I don’t know how many people are in charge of it? I have to ask Cousin Heng for advice.”
There is not much emotional intelligence to speak of when you ask this question.
Because regardless of age and common sense, it must be the prince who has been in the army for decades and has a high official position. But just asking Jia Heng how many soldiers he leads, and then asking his own uncle, it is a bit "show off".
Baochai frowned when she heard this, and squeezed the jade hand holding the plum blossom silk handkerchief, expressing her elder brother with her eyes.
Well, Xue Pan is staring at Jia Heng with eyes as big as copper bells, how can he see Baochai's wink?
As for Aunt Xue?
Aunt Xue also looked at the boy opposite without moving her gaze.
Mingming also wants to know how powerful her elder brother is?
In fact, be it Aunt Xue or Mrs. Wang, these women in the inner house really can't fully understand the rank of official position.
Not to mention these housewives, even if the Internet is developed in later generations, if some netizens don't search, they may not be able to distinguish their positions and ranks.
What are inspectors, investigators, chief staff members, what are leadership positions and non-leadership positions, what are regular and non-regular positions, not to mention that different platforms have different powers and powers.
Jia Heng's face remained calm, and he said in a clear voice: "Wang Jieshuai is a first-rank military general of the Han Dynasty, the Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp, and in charge of the 20th Regiment Battalion. The [-]th Regiment Battalion of the Beijing Division has a total of [-] soldiers and horses."
He will not intentionally belittle Wang Ziteng's official title and power, but he is not interested in explaining the way to Aunt Xue and Xue Pan.
When Aunt Xue heard the words, her heart was full of joy and her face was full of joy. Even if Jia Heng said a few words, she felt her heart was agitated. Her elder brother was in charge of 20 million troops. What kind of power is this?
No wonder, the prefect of Jinling respected her Xue family and took the initiative to help Pan'er settle the lawsuit and eliminate the culprit.
Baochai's complexion was indifferent, her almond eyes as bright as water, calm and unwavering, she knew a little about this journey, her uncle was the envoy of the Beijing camp, although he dare not say that he was an extremely personable official, but he was one of the few in the imperial court High-ranking military officer.
It's just that having a father and a mother is not as good as having one yourself.
On Xue Pan's side, his eyebrows were beaming with joy, and he was also shocked by tens of thousands of people, and asked, "Compared to Cousin Heng..."
At these words, even Aunt Xue realized that she was "brainless" and she looked annoyed and interrupted: "Pan'er, how old is your cousin? He is already a third-rank military officer, and his future is bound to be limitless."
As he spoke, he glanced at Jia Heng, and saw that his expression was still calm, and at the same time he settled down, he felt a little awkward.
How should I put it, Jia Heng's expression was too calm from beginning to end, as if something was missing.
Such as envy, jealousy, and even the final loss.
Facing the "anticipating" or "complicated" gazes of the mother and son, Jia Heng felt a little strange in his heart, and pondered: "Wang Jie is a first-rank official, even if I see it, I will call myself a lower official." .”
Hearing this, Xue Pan was naturally satisfied, but Aunt Xue's feeling of awkwardness in her heart became more and more intense.
Because Jia Heng's tone was still too calm...
Well, don't worry.
Here, Baochai's face paused for a moment, but she felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles, her red lips were slightly parted, her voice was like a flying spring flowing jade, and she said: "My cousin is young and promising. That's it."
Hearing this, Jia Heng slightly raised her eyes to look at Baochai, met those gentle and gentle gazes, nodded and said: "Sister Cheng said auspiciously."
Baochai's apricot eyes flashed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
A conversation between smart people can be understood with just one glance.
She knew that people didn't take it to heart.
Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Tomorrow, Brother Heng leads the army back to Beijing, can we go back together? We are on the road, the road is not smooth, so we are worried."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, and said: "I told Brother Wenlong before that it is not good to bring your family with you when the army is moving. Besides, the army will move out tomorrow. Now the bandits in Sanfu have been wiped out. Auntie, please rest assured."
Aunt Xue nodded when she heard the words, but her worried expression remained undiminished, and she asked, "So that's the case, can't you just go with me?"
But he didn't give up.
At this time, all eyes were cast on Jia Heng expectantly.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "The vanguard of the army will go first. I will lead the Chinese army to postpone tomorrow. If my aunt doesn't mind the trouble, she can fall half a mile away."
It's not that he can't send soldiers to escort Xue's family, but he doesn't have much affection for Xue Pan, so it's easy to strengthen his reputation and cause some trouble.
Aunt Xue was overjoyed when she heard the words, and said: "That's really troublesome Brother Heng."
It is said that there are three assistants and no bandits, but who dares to pat their chests to guarantee it?
How can this army escort An Xin all the way?
Jia Heng said a few more words, and made an appointment for tomorrow's departure, Xue Pan smiled, and warmly invited: "Cousin, I've cleaned up the food and drinks, let's go after eating together."
Jia Heng turned his head and glanced at the sky, and said: "It's not too early, and tomorrow's departure is imminent. I have to go back to the camp to deal with military affairs, so I don't want to hang around. Brother Wenlong, aunt, and cousin, let's talk in Shenjing City." , At that time, I was doing my best to be a landlord.”
As he spoke, he stood up and wanted to say goodbye.
This time the relatives meet each other, and the conversation has already been counted to the etiquette, so there is no need to stay longer.
Of course, he has seen and seen the ceiling of the chubby world in Dream of the Red Chamber, and everything else is fine, except that he is a little taciturn.
Aunt Xue heard that Jia Heng was on military duty, and it was not easy to keep him, so she called Xue Pan to take Jia Heng down the second floor of the inn.
After Jia Heng left, Baochai frowned, her face was gloomy, and she said in a somewhat reproachful tone: "Mom, why did you ask uncle just now?"
When she heard it just now, she felt so ashamed and flustered, that is to say, she is well-mannered and doesn't get annoyed.
"Good girl, isn't this just a quick word, what does your brother want to ask? I'm thinking about my relatives. It doesn't matter if I ask them about these things, right? Besides, how old is he? It's normal for him to be younger than your uncle. However, if you ask about it, it’s not a matter of dismissing people.” Aunt Xue smiled and said softly: “Besides, I’m not annoyed.”
Baochai said helplessly: "Mom, that's a man who has a city, and his emotions are invisible. Who knows what he thinks in his heart? I can't say... I'm sneering in my heart."
With these words, half of them are bluffing their own mother.
When Aunt Xue heard the words, the smile on her face froze for a moment, and she hesitated, "This...it shouldn't be the case, after all, they are cousins, how can they be so narrow-minded? My good daughter, let me see Although Brother Heng has a cooler temper, he is also a man of etiquette, and he agreed to set off together tomorrow."
Baochai shook her head lightly, and said: "This man is not much older than my elder brother, but he is already a military officer of the third rank, and he leads the army to go abroad. More than half of his family is not an official who relied on the shadow of his ancestors to seize the title. , this kind of side branch, who has gained wealth and power, is either broad-minded, or is a vengeful one."
Those who came from a humble background and suddenly ascended to a high position must either be grand and tolerant, or narrow-minded and not tolerant of others!
From the point of view just now, he is a man of grace and self-cultivation, but she always feels that there is a cloud of fog around him.
No annoyance, no annoyance, but there was no abnormality on her face, at least she couldn't see any clues.
"I'm afraid it is, the heart has the danger of mountains and rivers, and the stomach has the strictness of the city."
Also, it was hard for her to say just now, looking at the sword on the man's waist, the scabbard was embossed with a golden dragon, could someone else be able to engrave this dragon and phoenix randomly?
I'm afraid it's not a royal thing! ?
Of course, she had never seen it, and she couldn't be sure.
"When we get to Beijing, we have to ask Yinger to inquire about it secretly, otherwise, don't act as if you have offended someone, and act like a normal person." Baochai twisted the handkerchief in her hand, her almond eyes sparkled. , thought.
On the other side, Aunt Xue felt somewhat timid after hearing Baochai's words, and forced a smile: "My dear girl, why do you keep talking more and more scary."
Baochai turned to comfort her softly and said: "Mom, it was okay before, but people's hearts are sinister, so there are precedents for causing disasters. I was thinking that we should not make too much publicity when we arrive in Beijing. That old saying is not true." Well said, right and wrong are just for talking more, troubles are all because of being strong.”
She once read a story about Guo Ziyi and Lu Qi, king of Fenyang County in the Tang Dynasty, and she was deeply impressed by the words "people's hearts are sinister".
Thinking about it, if you get into trouble because of talking too much, it is better to be silent than a thousand words.
In fact, no matter how peaceful Baochai's temperament is at any time, and he hides his clumsiness, he never hides the truth from his own mother when it comes to avoiding disasters. How can there be no eggs under the nest?
But usually, I am not willing to show what I can do.
Aunt Xue felt relieved when she heard the words, she nodded with a smile, and said, "I'll just say it, how can you be so creepy? But the old saying makes sense."
Her girl has been careful and generous since she was a child, and she also understood what her girl meant.
That's right, smile three-pointed at everyone, be kind, don't offend anyone, and don't cause trouble if you don't push yourself.
Orphans and widows, as long as they don't show off when they come to Beijing, and don't force themselves in everything, they are relatives who come to the door, no matter who they are, as long as they care about face, they don't want to make them face.
Thinking of this, Aunt Xue made up her mind and was also very happy. She looked at Baochai with a smile and said, "My dear girl, it would be great if your elder brother let mother worry as much as you do."
Baochai sighed inwardly, and was about to speak.
"Mom, did you call me?"
But at this moment, Xue Pan strode in from the outside, shaking his big head with a purple turban, and said with a smile.
Aunt Xue said with a smile: "I just called you, did your cousin send it back?"
"Send it back, he rode away on horseback." Xue Pan laughed.
"Then rest for one night, and when we set off tomorrow, we can arrive in the capital early," Aunt Xue looked at her son's big head with a simple and honest smile on his face, and felt that her son was still cute, unlike Heng My brother looked like he was not close to strangers, and he didn't look warm.
……
……
Jia Heng left the inn where Xue's family lived, and returned to the camp. It was already evening, and he entered the Chinese army's big tent, sat behind the commander's table, and continued to organize and write the new army structure and training regulations.
He served in the border defense in his previous life, so he is no stranger to how to train soldiers, but it still takes a lot of effort to train a soldier who obeys commands, can win battles, and has strict discipline.
The entire training process cannot be done by human hands.
"When we go back, we also need to add some family generals to the army. For example, we need to find some Jia clan children who are willing to join the army from the lecture hall, to train together, and there are also military matters. Everything is normal."
While Jia Heng was thinking, the voice of a soldier outside the tent suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"My lord, Song Canjun is here."
Jia Heng called out, put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Song Yuan who came in from the military tent, and asked:
"Is everything all right?"
Song Yuan said with a smile: "My lord, everything has been arranged, and the meritorious generals and schools have their own records. We will wait for your lord to go to give meritorious service and reward silver."
Jia Heng nodded, got up from his seat, and said in a deep voice: "I'll go there now. Although the generals celebrate at night, we can't relax our vigilance and let our soldiers go on patrol."
As he said that, he also left the camp of the Chinese Army, and went to reward the meritorious generals and schools. This move is naturally to cultivate a sense of honor and belonging.
It was night, and the Guoyong battalion was delighted and cheered.
The jade rabbit falls in the west, and the golden crow rises in the east.
Before you know it, one night passes, and the next day, early morning.
The Guoyong Battalion, who had packed their bags, had an [-]-step cavalry army lined up neatly. They set up banners outside Huayin City and were ready to go. Compared with when they first arrived in Huayin County, their morale was somewhat sluggish, but now their morale is high.
Because there are still left and right sentries of the Fifth Army Battalion to help the people of Huayin County repair their houses, and they have to deal with some messes.
However, no one knew who knew the news that Jia Heng was going to return to Beijing in advance, and the people of Huayin County sent out of the city to see him off. Tens of thousands of Li people in Huayin surrounded both sides of the official road.
The Xue family's convoy had obviously packed their luggage and boxes and was ready to leave.
Xue Pan finished his breakfast, went up to the second floor, and said, "Mom, sister, it's time to leave. Cousin Heng has already set off."
"Okay, it's coming out now." Aunt Xue's voice came from inside.
At this moment, I heard hurried footsteps on the stairs, and the servant came up to report, out of breath, and said: "Master, I can't go now, the gate of the city is blocked, the people of Huayin County They are all seeing off the officers and soldiers, it is like a sea of people, we will wait half an hour before setting off."
Surrounded by maids and mothers-in-law, the mother and daughter who just walked out of the wing room looked at each other when they heard the words outside.
