Red House Shoufu

Chapter 193

The mandarin ducks sleeping on the small couch in the outer room could vaguely hear the voices of the grandparents and grandchildren talking.

Although she couldn't hear what she said clearly, the crying that followed and the last bleak cry made her wonder whether she should go in or not.

Just when Yuanyang was in a dilemma, Daiyu's voice came from inside: "Sister Yuanyang, let the basin of warm water come in..."

Yuanyang quickly replied: "Okay, servant girl will bring it here."

After she got dressed, she hurried to fetch water, warmed it up on the stove, and brought it to the inner hall.

Daiyu, who had already lit the candles, gently wiped Jia Shishi's face, and motioned for the mandarin ducks to back down, and then sat on the bed again to talk to Jia Shishi.

"Grandmother, in fact, after returning to Yangzhou three years ago, I already knew some things. I once asked myself, do I hate you..."

Daiyu paused for a moment, she seemed to have returned to the Yangzhou Xunyan Yushi Mansion that year, the dead leaves were falling in early autumn, and Lin Shu with Bai Xiao was kneeling in front of the mourning hall, her thin back made her feel at ease .

well!My brother is right, maybe her surname is Lin after all, can my grandmother care more about her parents and herself than Baoyu and Jia's family?
What's more, my grandmother only found out something was wrong after the fact. She was just a housewife, so what could she do with the Zhen family, with those wolves, tigers and leopards?At least my grandmother loved me so much.

Thinking of this, Daiyu held Jia Shishi's hand, and said softly: "I don't hate you, really! Maybe when I first learned about these things, I complained. But when I found out the truth later, this bit of complaint didn't matter. I slowly felt relieved. At least you can think of taking me to the capital and avoiding the turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River. I can only feel grateful..."

Under the dim candlelight, Jia Shishi stared into Daiyu's eyes.She could see that what Daiyu said was true, and at the same time understood what Daiyu said.

After all, there was a layer of estrangement in the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren. Since Daiyu returned to the south that year, she can never go back to the past.

"It's late at night, grandma should go to bed early. I'm afraid I'll be busy for a long time starting tomorrow."

Daiyu blew out the candle and lay down next to Jia Shishi.Neither of them fell asleep in the dark.

The chirping of insects outside the window made Jia Shishi very upset, but in Daiyu's heart, the boredom accumulated for a long time disappeared.

What my brother said was indeed right. She was just a granddaughter. I used to think too much about this special family relationship. When I said it, I felt relieved.

……

Wang Xifeng, the wife of the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, gave birth to a daughter at the end of the seventh day of the seventh month. It is said that Rong Enbo Jia She loved this eldest granddaughter very much, and all the happy money was distributed outside Ningrong Street.

The virtuous concubine in the palace sent an eunuch to bestow many rewards, and then the close mansions sent blessings one after another.

Originally, Jia Shishi, Daiyu and others had planned to go to Qingxu Temple.But because of Wang Xifeng, he could only retreat temporarily.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. On the tenth day of the seventh lunar month, the Great Court Assembly had just ended, and before he could return to the Palace of Qinzheng, the emperor received an urgent [-]-mile tribute from the Daming Mansion.

At the same time, the Department of General Administration also successively received urgent documents for [-] miles from Puzhou in Shandong, Zhangde in Henan, and Weihui in Henan.

The entire cabinet was shocked by this document—the Daming Mansion was suspected to be besieged by the White Lotus Sect, and the people sent to investigate were blocked by mysterious forces from entering!

Wei Qinghe, Qi Bohan and Ren Guocheng, three cabinet scholars, went to the Hall of Qinzheng together to report the matter to the emperor.

"Boom! Crack!..."

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Qinzheng Hall, a familiar voice came from inside.

After hearing the call, the three of them walked into the main hall, and indeed the ground was covered with fragments of crude porcelain.

"It seems that you also know!"

Wei Qinghe, the leader, replied: "For the matter of the Daming Mansion, the Department of General Affairs has just sent three urgent documents."

After the emperor had vented his anger, he sat down and glared at Xia Shouzhong: "I don't have any vision, and I haven't moved chairs for the three love affairs!"

……

"Your Majesty, the most important thing about the Daming Mansion is to find out the current situation. According to the old minister, we should urgently order the embroidered guards from the nearby state capitals to investigate..."

Wei Qing and Lao Cheng are prudent, and they always focus on stability when they encounter problems. He still doesn't know the secret performance that Lin Shu just sent to the palace.

The emperor snorted coldly and asked Xia Shouzhong to pass Lin Shu's secret performance to Wei Qinghe and others.

"No need, Lin Shu, Du Zimu, and Jia Zheng jointly sent a secret concert, and the siege of the Daming Mansion has been lifted. The most important thing now is to find out why the group of White Lotus Sect bandits suddenly launched an attack, and the group that blocked the Daming Mansion from inside and outside Who is the mysterious force of China Unicom?"

Wei Qinghe and the three of them hurriedly browsed through the memo, and were shocked by the contents of the melody.Near Gyeonggi, nearly ten thousand Bailian sect gangsters openly rebelled and besieged the capital of Daming Prefecture for a whole day.

Qi Bohan and Ren Guocheng are pure literati, and they don't know the danger of military disaster.Apart from being angry, he just said that he would send heavy troops to wipe out the remnants of the White Lotus Sect.

On the contrary, Wei Qinghe saw something special from the melody, he coughed twice, interrupting Qi and Ren's indignation.

"Your Majesty, at this moment, we should immediately send the Imperial Army to support the Daming Mansion. Jia Lian was seriously injured, and the Dragon Guards under his command also suffered a lot of casualties. If there is another strong enemy, it may be difficult for them to parry with their current strength alone."

Regarding the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, Qi Bohan and Ren Guocheng have the same views as Wei Qinghe, they would rather spend money and food than strike out, and they must not be taken lightly.

To rebel near Gyeonggi and openly attack a prefecture city is to slap the imperial court in the face, slap them in the face of the cabinet scholars!
Seeing that the three people had the same opinion, the emperor nodded: "I agree with the three love ministers. The White Lotus Sect dared to openly rebel near the capital, which is declaring war on the court. If this group of rebellious officials and thieves are not completely eradicated, the court will Where is the majesty? But who should be sent, we still have to discuss it!"

"How about Prince Teng, the envoy of the Jingying Festival?"

Among the generals in the capital, Wang Ziteng was in his prime and had served as the chief general of the Beijing camp for many years. Qi Bohan was the first to think of him.

However, Wei Qinghe shook his head and said slowly: "No, Lin Shu and others have killed most of the rebels, and there are less than a thousand people left. Why send out generals like Wang Ziteng? Let You Wuwei command Let Xu Jingsi go, he was born in the Marquis of Xianning, and he is a prudent person."

The emperor nodded after hearing this, Wei Qing understands me!
He immediately made this proposal: "In this case, let Xu Jingsi lead three thousand soldiers and horses and set off immediately to help the Daming Mansion. During the quelling period, Xu Jingsi and his troops will all be dispatched by the imperial envoy Lin Shu!"

After hearing the emperor's decision, Qi Bohan said in surprise: "Your Majesty, why don't you send an old and prudent person? Lin Shu is younger after all..."

"With less than a thousand troops, it can resist nearly ten thousand rebels. With such courage and courage, it is not a problem to command thousands of forbidden troops."

Emperor Gan Gang was arbitrary and refuted Qi Bohan's proposal.At the same time, he remembered Jia Lian's serious injury, and said to Wei Qinghe: "In order to relieve the pressure on the capital, Jia Lian faced thousands of rebels and led three hundred cavalry to charge several times, fighting to the death without retreating... Let the cabinet discuss how to reward him."

Wei Qing and the three of them had all seen the description of Jia Lian's feat in the battle in the secret memorial, and all of them looked at this former playboy with admiration.

Qi Bohan was the first to say: "Jia Lian's feats will be greatly rewarded by the imperial court. Since the founding of the country, many descendants of martial arts have become increasingly arrogant and extravagant. We just take this opportunity to set an example."

Ren Guocheng also nodded: "Old Qi Ge is right, and the minister also has this opinion. The first Ronggong once fought against the northern captives alone, and today his descendants have done such a feat. The Rongguo Mansion is worthy of the loyal ministers and generals of Great Chu!"

After the emperor saw that Wei Qinghe also nodded, he took a picture of the dragon case: "Draft the decree, Jia Lian, the envoy of the Dragon Guards, is not afraid of life and death in the face of powerful enemies, and is brave and good at fighting... Feng Zhaoyong General, bestow a hundred taels of gold, A hundred bolts of silk will be tributed to show his bravery and loyalty!"

　More here tonight, and three more tomorrow.
