dream of red mansion

Chapter 550 The Maid's Siege

Behind Ning'an Hall is Jia Qing's main courtyard.

Peifeng grabbed the hurried Fu Huiwen and said, "Sister Fu, what is Second Master looking for you in such a hurry?"

Fu Huiwen was the captain of the guards, and also the leader of Xuewei when Wu Xian'er was away.

"It's nothing, the young master just ordered to find someone for him. If my sister has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

Fu Huiwen was not rude to this maid whom Jia Qing loved, nodded and smiled, and left.

"What, it's mysterious."

Peifeng stomped her feet in displeasure.

Just as I was about to go to the study, I saw Wang Shun's naughty boy rushing into the study.

"Peifeng, what's wrong?"

Lian'er and Jin'er walked into the main courtyard and happened to see it.

Peifeng turned her head and saw that it was the two of them, so she said: "Just now I saw the second master came back from the front, he looked unhappy, and he didn't say what's the matter when I asked him."

Lian Er smiled and said: "Just now we were washing clothes by the pool in the garden, and happened to meet the old mother in the old lady's house who came to send a message, saying to ask the second master to come over. Wait, I will tell the second master, and help you by the way Ask."

Pei Feng hurriedly said: "Forget it, don't go now, the second master is seeing Wang Shun."

Lian'er stopped in her tracks, and suddenly walked around Peifeng, jokingly said, "Sister Peifeng, it's not that you offended the second master, you are afraid that we will take your job, so you stop us ?”

"nonsense."

"I don't have it!!"

Peifeng became ashamed, she clearly knew that Jia Qing should have important matters to deal with, and she didn't even let her wait in the study, so she prevented them from entering.

Damn girl Lian'er, relying on Second Master to praise her for being good-looking, she always fights against me.Hmph, you're just a little bit better, and you can't get past me. Otherwise, why didn't the second master put you in the inner room to serve you?
"You go as soon as you want, and you will get angry with the second master, so don't blame me for not reminding you."

After finishing speaking, Peifeng went into the room angrily.

Jin'er said: "Lian'er, why are you making Peifeng angry on purpose?"

Lian'er said indifferently: "That's because she is stingy and has dominated Second Master's favor for so many years, can't she even stand this little thing?"

"But."

"But what, well, I'm going to dry the clothes, you stay here, if Wang Shun still doesn't come out in a while, you can just tell the second master outside."

Jin'er was surprised, she thought Lian'er wanted to stay and report.

Lian'er seemed to see through her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Why, you really think I want to steal Peifeng's job as 'Little Eunuch in the Study Room'?"

Then he seemed to think of something, sighed and said: "If it was a few years ago, I would definitely have such an idea, but now that so many years have passed, I have already understood the meaning of the second master. The reason why we still keep us In the main courtyard, the honor given to us is only because of the friendship of the second master for many years.

Those of us who followed Second Master out of Yipintang, in fact, which one would not want to serve Second Master for the rest of his life?Second Master is so kind, considerate and gentle, but can there really be so many people around him?
The second master also said that when we reach the age, he will give us grace and let us go out of the house.

Since he knows that this is the best ending, why bother to engage in this useless dispute in this room, it will not only add chaos to the second master, but also hurt the relationship for no reason.

Ha ha, now that I think about it, I'm still a little bit reconciled.But from the perspective of the second master, this is already the best for us.As for Peifeng and Xieluan, who told them that they were lucky to be the first to serve Second Master personally?"

Lian'er's calm and wise words surprised Jin'er, and at the same time shattered her last illusion.

She really wanted to say: She doesn't need to ask for anything, she just wants to stay by Jia Qing's side, even if she will be a maid for the rest of her life. But reason tells her that this is self-deception.

really reconciled
Forget it, didn't the second master say that, in the case of the same palace, when they reach the age of 25, they will find a good family for them, let them go out of the house, and never be slaves again.

There are still many years left, maybe, when the time comes, I will figure it out.

Naturally, Jia Qing didn't know that his two servant girls had inadvertently conducted a discussion about the siege of fate.

If he heard this, he might look at Lian'er with admiration.

Wang Shun was waved away, and he sat alone in the study.

Golden Retriever had exchanged ten carts of wine for him five days ago. Obviously, he had received the letter since then and was about to run away.

But he lives in the Lifan Courtyard, and it is not easy to leave quietly, and he must plan something.

Therefore, he managed to escape from the capital before Ugin Khan's request for help arrived.

However, the time is too short.

The imperial court must have blocked all the exits of the fortresses around the capital. Under such circumstances, it is much more difficult for a group of foreign devils to escape back to the base camp than to escape from the capital.

He just ordered the dark guards and Xunfeng people to look for them.In these years, they can also take this opportunity to test their abilities.

Jia Qing was secretly ruthless, if his men caught the golden retriever first, they must hang him up and beat him for three days and three nights.

It's in vain that he still treats him as a friend, but before he runs away, he still treats him with him, it's so irritating.

When he was in court, Fang Shou called Jia Zheng to stop him.

"Old Zheng, please tell Qing'er when you go back to the mansion that His Majesty's move is also to protect him, so that he will obey His Majesty's wishes and not make mistakes."

Jia Zheng replied: "Thank you, Mr. Fang Ge, for reminding me, the next official meeting."

Jia Zheng understood Fang Shou's words as soon as he heard them.Your Majesty just now, but someone suggested that Jia Qing should be handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation.

The escape of the golden retriever prince is indeed a very passive thing for the court.

Jia Qing had always been on good terms with him, and the golden retriever prince gave him a "huge amount" of treasures before he left.

Unless Jia Qing can now prove his innocence.

But if he wanted to prove his innocence, he had to catch the golden retriever prince or find out who let him go.

Obviously, Jia Qing couldn't do it for a while.

Therefore, Emperor Zhengqing detained him in the mansion, which could avoid some gossip.

"Mr. Fang Ge, I have a question and would like to ask Mr. Ge to clear up my doubts."

Although Jia Zheng was not a high-ranking official, he was Jia Qing's uncle and the head of the state. Fang Shou was also very generous and said, "Mr. Zheng, please tell me."

"Old Fang Ge thinks, can this battle be fought?"

Jia Zheng asked directly.All the officials debated in the hall all morning, but Jia Zheng still didn't understand whether His Majesty wanted to fight or not.

Fang Shou hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's bitterly cold in the north. In this season, sprinkled water can turn into ice, so it's impossible to fight for a while. But the Russian Cossacks have always been barbaric. This time such a big commotion will definitely not end without a problem, maybe it won't come until the beginning of spring." , there will be definite news from there.”

"If there is a real fight, will His Majesty send troops to support it?"

Fang Shou shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has not expressed his thoughts from the beginning to the end. Moreover, although the Cossacks are fierce, the Mongolian tribes are not incapable of fighting. But I think, if the Russian emperor insists on going his own way and wants to destroy the Mongolian tribes, His Majesty will definitely I will not let it go.

Compared with the wolfish and ambitious Russia, the Mongolian tribes that are at odds with each other are indeed much less of a threat to the imperial court.

It's just that at that time, I don't know how many kingdoms will be drinking blood on the battlefield, alas. "

Fang Shou is also a pure literati and dislikes fighting very much.

Jia Zheng said: "Isn't it possible to negotiate a peace? It was just killing three Russians by mistake. Even though one of them was a Russian nobleman, it would be too childish to start a war of one country for this."

Jia Zheng really couldn't understand the behavior of the Russian barbarians.

Fang Shou watched the gloomy sky, and he couldn't understand some things, so he couldn't speak.

But he has a faint feeling that this battle cannot be avoided
