The filial son of the Red Mansion

There's an eighth level there, and there's a seventh level there.

Level 6 treasure chests everywhere!

If all of this is buried, how many good things can be found?

Huh? There's a very young Level 6! What a grand ceremony, with a lot of people around him, could he be a descendant of the royal family?

Jia Rong quickly ran to Feng Ziying and asked, "Who is that person over there? How can he be so majestic?"

Feng Ziying was already used to his weird temper and warned him, "That person is the son of Prince Zhongshun. People call him Little Prince, but he is actually a jerk. Don't mess with him."

Prince, why is it only a level 6 treasure chest?

The Prince of Beijing has an eighth-level treasure chest. Even if this guy can't compare to the Prince, he should at least have a seventh-level treasure chest.

Jia Rong nodded and whispered, "I think he is a little special."

Feng Ziying warned: "If you see him while hunting, just run away."

"What?"

When General Feng Tang heard the two's idle chat, he quickly called them over and whispered, "There are many eyes and ears around, don't discuss the royal family's affairs."

The two of them just nodded in silence.

Feng Tang looked at the four big guys around Jia Rong and felt really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Did this brat find four meat shields for himself?

Jia Rong didn't know what Feng Tang was thinking, but soon he saw Shen Nian not far away looking at him, and a chill ran down his head.

Is this guy planning to take revenge during the hunting?

Feng Ziying also saw this scene and consoled him with a smile, "Don't worry, we didn't do anything privately that day, and we won't do anything privately here. I'll go over and say hello to him, and you should walk around more too."

This is the truth, but I always feel my scalp tingling.

Damn, it’s better not to know too much. Now I’m always worried.

If I bury him, I don't have any deep hatred against him; if I don't bury him, I'm worried that I'll be caught and beaten up one day.

Jia Rong cautiously glanced at them a few more times before turning around to greet the relatives and friends around him who were also descendants of the four kings and eight dukes. He said he was greeting them, but in fact he was paying his respects, and he would either call them "grand master" or "uncle".

Not long after, he saw another level eight treasure chest in the distance. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was none other than Beijing County Prince Shui Rong.

After two days of rest, there were more people and horses in the enclosure, and the high terrace was also built.

On the third day, nearly 10,000 people were stationed inside and outside the enclosure. Three thousand soldiers were waiting for inspection in the enclosure. Soldiers from the Jingying and Shenjiying camps stood 40 feet away from the high platform; the Shenshu camps stood to the left and right of the Shenjiying camp; soldiers from the Qianfeng camp stood in front of the Shenjiying camp, in the center of the entire formation; to the left and right of the Qianfeng camp were cavalry and infantry from various routes.

When the conch shells sounded and the command flags waved, three thousand soldiers began drills.

The conch shells stopped, the red flags waved, and the Shenji Battalion fired their guns and cannons, two teams at a time. When the conch shells were blown, the two teams of firearms soldiers advanced 15 feet. When the drums were beaten, the two teams of artillery soldiers advanced; when the gongs were sounded, they stopped.

The air was filled with smoke from gunfire, as if there had been a major war.

Jia Rong, who was standing among the onlookers, was also shocked by the scene.

Soon, the troops finished their review. In the afternoon, the guards from all places gathered, a total of 200 people. They were divided into groups to practice the four items of the review test: sitting shooting on horseback, riding shooting, horizontal shooting, and walking shooting.

Jia Rong saw the first ten people sitting on horses, walking slowly to the examination position, drawing their bows and releasing their strings. Three people hit the center of the target, five people hit the target, and two people missed the target. [Note: The results of the guards' examination in this chapter are adapted from Emperor Qianlong's review of the imperial guards in 1750. The content of the imperial guards' examination is consistent with historical facts.]

what's the situation?

Jia Rong was stunned.

Looking at the second row, there is one person who hit the bull's eye, six people who were on target, and three people who missed the target.

A person on the high platform with a level 10 treasure chest on his head was also stunned. He had thought of the Dragon Guard review at the last minute, but he didn't expect the result to be so exciting.

Soon, Jia Rong realized that he was shocked too early.

When the horseback archery test came, the first person rode out on horseback, drew his bow and shot it straight into the ground. Of the 200 guards, nearly 100 missed the target, and only 7 hit the bull's eye.

The results are terrible.

I'm so confident!

The more Jia Rong looked at it, the more confident he became, and he even felt like laughing.

As expected, they all entered through the back door.

He turned his head to look at the platform, only to see that the man with the [Level 10 Treasure Chest] on his head was still standing there motionless.

Too bad I can't see his expression clearly.

With the example of a genuine guard, Jia Rong was very confident the next day.

When riding and shooting, he rode the horse slowly and drew the bow calmly.

slap~

Not only did he not fall off the horse, he actually won!

Happy!

"Shameless guy, is this horseback archery? It's no different from shooting from a horse while sitting on it!"

"I want to go up and punch him. Others shoot horizontally by releasing the string and pulling the bow upright, but he takes a long time to aim each arrow?"

The four princes and eight dukes around, such as Feng Tang and Feng Ziying, and Shen Nian, all blushed when they heard the discussion. Only Beijing Prince Shui Rong on the high platform could still laugh, "Although it is a bit unique, every arrow hits the target."

The other two people on the platform looked normal.

One person asked, "Whose brother is this?"

Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the six palaces, bowed and read, "It is Jia Rong, the fourth-rank cavalry commander of the Ningguo Mansion of Jiamen."

Chapter 62: First Review, Baoyu Trembles

Shameless, so shameless.

However, this guy was the only one whose arrows all hit the target, including one arrow each hitting the center of the bull's eye when shooting from horseback, shooting horizontally, and shooting on foot. Although horseback shooting and shooting horizontally did not conform to the rules, the gap between him and others was still obvious.

This result was unexpected by everyone.

Neither the Feng father nor Shen Nian expected it, and even the proofreading officer Chen Ruiwen did not expect it.

"Uncle Wang was planning to rank Rong'er's name as medium, but now it's going to be high." Chen Ruiwen wanted to cry but had no tears. He felt that he and Wang Ziteng had worried in vain.

What he needs to consider now is, what rank does Jia Rong rank in?

"How could such a shameless person appear in Ningguo Mansion? At least he should be more serious when riding and shooting. It's okay even if he fell off the horse like others."

After all, Jia Rong's horse archery and flat shooting do not conform to the norms.

If it is recorded as the top three, it would be too biased. If it is not included in the top three, Jia Rong's scores in sitting and walking shooting are also very good.

Chen Ruiwen hesitated for a moment, added Jia Rong's name to the top three, and listed three additional names, deciding to leave the final difficult problem to the big man on the podium.

Jia Rong also had something to say.

When he saw the unlucky guys who fell off their horses in front of him, he became more determined to take it slow.

Don't seek the best, just seek safety and avoid accidents.

His life was precious. If he fell off his horse and got trampled by it, that would be useless. Anyway, his scores in shooting on foot and shooting on horseback were good enough, and Wang Ziteng had also said that there was a backdoor. As long as he could enter the Dragon Guard, it would be fine. He didn't care about his scores.

After Chen Ruiwen reported back to the high platform, he soon saw Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the six palaces, walk down the high platform and read aloud the words "First in Review", then paused. His eyes turned to Jia Rong and he smiled.

"Jia Rong from the Ningguo Mansion!"

Everyone around was dumbfounded.

First place?

Rong Ge'er took first place?

Feng Ziying's eyes widened, he took a deep breath and looked at his father Feng Tang, and doubts arose in his heart. He looked directly at Chen Ruiwen behind Xia Shouzhong.

"Isn't Raven favoring Rong Ge'er in front of the current emperor?"

Chen Ruiwen was stunned for a while, then quickly winked at Jia Rong, asking him to come forward.

Shen Nian beside him sighed with a complicated expression, "It's boring!"

It's so fucking boring!

Qiu Jiheng, the son of Captain Qiu, was so angry that he almost jumped up and down. "How could this idiot get first place? If I had known, I would have participated in the review." He naturally did not dare to say these words directly, but only complained in his heart.

Jia Rong was also confused. How did he get first place in the review?

Wang Ziteng's joke was a bit too much and it attracted too much attention.

Unfortunately, Wang Ziteng had already been promoted to the commander-in-chief of nine provinces at that time. He was ordered to patrol the border. Not only did he not come to the hunting ground, he was not even in the capital.

Jia Rong listened in a daze.

One moment he is the bravest man, the next moment he is the best archer.

His ears turned red after hearing this. After all, those big shots are so thick-skinned that they can brag about this.

Hmm? A gold belt and a goose-feather knife?

"Why don't you thank me now?"

Hearing this, Jia Rong finally came to his senses.

However, there was a great noise all around. Feng Tang immediately sent Feng Ziying to the camp to find a clever servant to report the good news to the Jia family.

Jia Rong felt as if he was dreaming.

In the Ning and Rong mansions, the topic these days is often related to the hunting in Tiewang Mountain.

In front of everyone, Grandmother Jia talked about the glorious achievements of the Dukes of the past, and she also comforted Youshi and Keqing, saying with a smile: "For Rong to take this step is better than many brothers in the capital, and better than his uncles, masters and great-grandmasters who only know how to play with birds. No matter what, it is a happy event."

The ladies and grandmothers also laughed and joined in the discussion.

Xing finally learned her lesson this time and didn't say she was not optimistic. She just sighed and said, "I heard that many people in Beijing followed him to see our Rong'er make a fool of himself."

Grandmother Jia said calmly: "Let them laugh at what they want. If you are afraid of being laughed at for everything, you might as well not do anything. There are always good and bad things in everything, and there are wins and losses in wars. How can there be an undefeated general in the world?"

Wang Xifeng nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "What the old ancestor said is right. When I first took over the management, didn't I make a lot of mistakes? There is no such thing as being born with the ability to do something. If people are unwilling to try, they will never be able to do it well."

At that moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Grandmother Jia frowned and asked Amber beside her to go out and take a look. Then she heard an anxious voice outside announcing, "News about the examination in the enclosure has arrived."
