Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 674 Ping Er changes the subject, Xichun invites Xiangyun

"Not good! Not good!"

"What are you panicking about? It's like being chased by a dog. Where are the rules?!"

I don't know what new news they heard, but the yard was in chaos. Wang Xifeng and Ping'er happened to pass by, so they stopped and gave these little girls and old women a beating.

"Grandma, there are rumors out there that the nobles in the palace don't care about those who left the capital at all. Many families in the capital have already left!"

When Wang Xifeng heard the news, she became a little uneasy for a moment.

  Is it true or false that he can leave Beijing at this time? More precisely, is this matter true or false?

Is it that the palace does not have the energy to take care of these things, or is it that the palace has other ideas and is just thinking about playing the long game and catching the big fish at this time?

"Ping'er, ask Wang'er's wife to go out and find out whether this matter is true or false."

After settling these people, Fengjie and Ping'er went to the old lady. On the way, Fengjie thought for a moment and then gave some instructions to Ping'er beside her.

Ping'er nodded in agreement.

"Grandma, the most we can learn from the outside world is what happened. As for more, we can't do anything about it."

After thinking it over, Ping'er finally gave a reminder. She knew that Wang Xifeng had her own thoughts, especially at this time.

Feng Jie'er's eyes flashed twice. After all, she was someone close to her, so she understood what Ping'er meant.

All they could find out was what happened. As for whether the palace was involved in the matter or had other intentions, those people had no way of finding out.

But at this time, one move often affects the entire body, so one must be more careful. What if this matter is the intention of the palace, and they will settle accounts after the war, which would be a hell of a pit.

It's not surprising that she thought so. Jia Baoyu's analysis was still ringing in her ears. She originally thought that the court could not bear it any longer, so she left herself a way out in advance. But the current situation is that the court really can't bear it any more?

  No one could give her a definite answer, perhaps even those in the palace couldn't give it, because things were always changing rapidly, and before there was a definite result, no one could be sure what would happen.

Of course, this is from her perspective.

"I don't know why the old lady wants us to come over at this time. Those short-sighted people in the mansion are just waiting for this moment!!"

Feng Jie'er's tone was a little unpleasant. At this special time, the servants, maids and old women in the mansion were not very honest. It became commonplace for a bracelet to be missing in one room today and a hairpin to be missing in that room tomorrow.

Originally, she didn't care much about these things, but recently something was missing from her room, and this made her angry.

Even she is the one who is being robbed. How can this be tolerated?

"It's just one or two things. I took special care of Xiaohong when I came here. She is an honest girl and nothing will happen to her again."

Ping'er was also aware of what had happened in the mansion over the past two days. In the past, when those people had made trouble to Fengjie'er, she might have helped out, but recently she had lost interest in doing so. No one knew what would happen tomorrow. Fengjie'er didn't know, and neither did she, so she couldn't make up her mind.

"Oh, right, the old lady instructed earlier that since the fourth girl has just recovered from her illness, it's time to replace some of her things. Although that little ancestor doesn't want the things in our house, giving or not is different from not wanting or not."

"I was thinking of going there in person later, but the mansion is busy right now, so I'm afraid I can't go. Ping'er, you go first!" Hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Ping'er paused slightly.

"Grandma, it's not over there with the old lady."

Feng Jieer sighed, then said, "Okay, you probably can't get involved with the old lady's affairs, I can go there by myself."

In the past few days, Feng Jieer has finally realized that she has no say in the important matters in the mansion. With Lady Jia, Jia She, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang around, she can only give some advice at most. As for whether it will be used or not, it depends on the old ladies and others.

"Then I'll go there first."

Ping'er thought about it and did not hesitate any more. As for the important matters in the mansion, let alone herself, even Wang Xifeng would probably only give some advice. As for what would happen in the end, there was probably nothing Fengjie could do.

After she separated from Wang Xifeng, she walked towards Xichun.

On the other side, Xichun went to Daiyu's side, and Shi Xiangyun was with her. Shi Xiangyun came to the mansion. She had always lived with Grandmother Jia before, but now the time was very special and there were some things that were not suitable for Xiangyun to know, so Xiangyun was asked to move in with Daiyu.

Xichun came along, of course, not for nothing. She had her own plans in mind. The current situation was turbulent, and Jia Hong's injuries had not yet fully recovered. She had been brooding over this matter, and now that Xiangyun was here, to her, it was like someone bringing her a pillow when she was dozing off.

Daiyu had roughly guessed what Xichun was thinking, but after hesitating for a long time, she finally did not say anything.

In fact, the current situation is not optimistic. After all, Jia Hong has to face not only the aggressive rebels outside the city, but also an immortal Taoist priest. Reason finally suppressed his thoughts.

"Xiangyun, let me tell you, I have a lot of storybooks over there. I bet you've never read them before. They're really wonderful. Do you want to come over to my place later? I'll show them to you."

"What's going on?"

In a teahouse in the capital, a girl in green stood in a private room on the second floor, looking outside through the window with a frown on her face.

Not far away, several carriages drove by in a hurry, apparently heading towards the city gate. If nothing unexpected happened, some people in the city must have used their connections to leave.

At this moment, the city gates had already been under martial law, but some people were still able to leave.

"According to the intelligence, the King of Dongping will be able to march to the city in about three days. What on earth was that person in the palace thinking? Why did he just let them go? Aren't they afraid that these people will tip off the enemy?"

But when she said this, she was suddenly speechless.

Because the troops in the capital have not yet begun to be mobilized, the specific city defense deployment has not changed, everything has not changed, which means that there is no valuable intelligence at all now, and even if those people want to tip off, they have nothing to say.

But she knew that the most powerful elite troops in the capital had already been ready for battle, but she had no idea where they would appear.

"If the Lord's prediction is correct, then this could really be a big game."
