The Red Mansions

Chapter 276 Daiyu's Crazy Literature (Thanks to the leader of the book friend ltm for the reward!)

Army of the Five Cities

"Song Canjun, Shan Shenjiang, Cai Guerzilla, and Qu Guerzilla are here."

While Jia Heng and Fan Yi were talking, Dong Qian entered the official hall and spoke.

Jia Heng said in a deep voice, "Call them in."

Not long after, Song Yuan, Shan Ming, Cai Quan, and Qu Guang entered the official hall, greeted Jia Heng and said, "I have seen the commander in chief."

Jia Heng waved his hand and said, "Follow me into the back hall."

In the back hall, several people sat down again.

Jia Heng looked at Song Yuan first, and asked, "Have the recruits and their families settled in the camp?"

Song Yuan said loudly: "A battalion of 500 people, twelve battalion leaders, have been placed in the barracks, and some family members are now living in Nancheng."

Jia Heng nodded, and said: "Recently, the imperial court will strictly rectify the Beijing camp, strictly prohibiting recruits from leaving the camp, and conducting new-style training first."

He didn't save face for the prince yesterday, so he would take the opportunity to attack Guoyongying if he said otherwise. If the Guoyongying camp is rectified by "selecting fronts" first, these newly recruited young men will definitely be dismissed in a short time. cut out.

"The method of selecting the striker, weeding out the old and the weak, seems to have a high-sounding reason, but in the end it was a dispute in front of the emperor. At that time, it was time to make a complete political cut, but it still depends on Wang Ziteng's thoughts." Jia Heng thought.

For old relatives like Wang Ziteng, you can't say that you don't want to go with them as soon as you meet someone. No one outside will believe it. You can't even think that the family of in-laws is acting for outsiders.

However, if there is a discord over the rectification of the Beijing camp, and then participate in impeachment, this is a political enemy in a dispute of interests.

And the reason why Emperor Chongping urged Wang Ziteng to rectify the Beijing camp as soon as possible and fight the four kings and eight males is also the same reason.

"New-style exercise code?" Cai Quan asked in surprise with a puzzled face.

Several other people also cast their gazes over in unison, all a little puzzled.

Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "The twelve battalions of new troops will use the new drills for training. After three days, I will issue the detailed rules of the drills to you, and I will also personally enter the camp to train soldiers."

The so-called new drills are all the training methods of the border armed police that he learned in his previous life, including physical training, discipline training, queue formation, military appearance and posture, and signaling...

He has also learned the art of stabbing and fighting.

Jia Heng's eyes were deep, and he thought to himself: "In fact, even if I don't have firearms, I can guarantee to train an elite team, but it's not as effective as firearms."

Just when Jia Heng and the generals of Guoyong Camp were discussing about military training, it happened by coincidence.

In Yongyefang, Wang Ziteng's mansion, Wang Ziteng also discussed with several of his confidantes the matter of rectifying the Beijing camp.

"Jie Shuai, when will the election be performed? Which battalion will start?" Pang Shili, a general of the Yangwei Battalion, looked at Wang Ziteng and said.

Wang Ziteng pondered: "After the snow melts, we will start to rectify it. As for which battalion to start with?"

He hesitated for a while.

I feel that every battalion is a hard stubble.

Li Xun, the commander of the Yaowu camp, flashed his eyes and said, "Master Jie, why don't you start with my battalion?"

Fang Ji nodded and said with a smile: "Jieshuai, this is feasible. Zeng Ji, the governor of the Yaowu Camp, is a former general of King Zhao. He is very old. There has been a discussion in the court for changing the commander. If Jieshuai takes this battalion first Liwei, you can get off to a good start, this is a strategy that starts with the easy and then the difficult."

Wang Ziteng paused slightly, and said: "Zeng Ji has been keeping a low profile these past few years. At the beginning, he followed the path of Nan'an County King, so he was able to keep his position as commander-in-chief."

After he returned to Beijing, he was urged by the palace and started to prepare secretly, but as he got to know some leading generals of the [-]th Regiment Battalion, he felt that there were many difficulties.

Yao Guang said in a deep voice: "I thought, how about rectifying from the Guoyong camp first?"

As soon as these words came out, the complexions of several people changed suddenly.

Fang Ji frowned, and objected: "The Guoyong camp has just wiped out the Sanfu rebels, and it was the time when the Holy Majesty trusted him. Yao Shen decided that this proposal is not feasible."

Yao Guang argued: "The Guoyong battalion has just won the lottery, but most of the soldiers in the battalion are refugees. If they can't get enough to eat, how can they survive the selection of the front? Kuang is trying to deter the battalions. Commander Zhang Jie has strict military discipline and does not show favoritism."

Hearing this, Wang Ziteng's complexion changed and his eyes were gloomy, but he thought of the young man outside the city of Shenjing again, and said coldly: "Guoyong Camp will not be moved for now, let's ignore him first."

No matter how much he gritted his teeth with hatred at this moment, it would be difficult to make a strong enemy at this time.

Moreover, the Son of Heaven is trusting the child very much, and the matter of the exiles joining the army that he mentioned in the sidelines last time has faintly disappeared.

Fang Ji agreed: "Jie Shuai's words are right. Now we only think that the Guoyong Battalion does not exist. As long as we train the rest of the regiments, the Guoyong Battalion will be very eye-catching at that time."

Wang Ziteng nodded his head, deeply convinced, and said: "In a few days, I will give birth to my son. First, I will send an invitation to the generals of the battalion to test my words. If I don't cooperate with the rectification, then I will make a fuss about it!"

Li Xun smiled and said: "Jie Shuai, that's what Jia Heng is like. He used the matter of checking the vacancies to blackmail the generals in the camp. Why doesn't Jie Shuai follow his old wisdom?"

When Wang Ziteng heard the words, his heart skipped a beat and he asked, "What do you mean?"

Wang Ziteng did not know about this matter.

Li Xun said with a smile: "Before the expedition, Jia Heng used the name of counting troops to investigate the fact that the lieutenant general and school had emptied their quota. Therefore, the general and school were often intimidated and threatened by him, so they listened to his orders and obeyed them all!"

Wang Ziteng frowned, and said: "But I heard that he has the sword of the emperor, and he used it to command the generals. None of the soldiers dared to resist. How can I compare with it?"

Mentioning the Sword of the Son of Heaven, Wang Ziteng's aggrieved feeling became more and more intense. He was the military envoy of the Beijing camp, but he was not granted the sword by the Son of Heaven, but the son of the Jia family had such great trust!
Fang Ji said in a deep voice: "Jieshuai is the governor of the Beijing camp. He was ordered by the sage to open the mansion and build the teeth, and set up a big banner to order the generals and soldiers of the [-]th battalion. The power is not inferior to the sword of the emperor!"

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ziteng's eyes shot brightly, and some pride surged in his heart, and he praised: "Mr. Fang's words are not bad. I am appointed by the emperor to supervise the [-]th Regiment Battalion. If they dare not obey, the military law Engage!"

After deciding on the matter of checking the empty quota, he looked at Yao Guang and ordered: "General Yao Shen, send someone to secretly check the empty quota of the troops in the Beijing camp."

Yao Guang smiled wryly, and said: "This matter is very secret, and my subordinates are short of manpower, so it's not easy to investigate. Even my Fenwu camp, which of the handsome men has taken up how many vacancies, my subordinates don't know."

Li Xun said: "Then Jia Heng heard that he had won the surrender of the governor, Lu He, so he knew the details, but Jie Shuai, don't worry, the general will not dare to say that he knows the details, but he also knows the money. Whose pocket did it all go into?"

"Who?"

"Seventy percent were sent by Zeng Ji to the Nan'an Prince's Mansion. The Nan'an Prince's Mansion is extravagant. If you don't drink the blood of soldiers, how can you maintain a decent appearance!" Li Xun said coldly.

When Wang Ziteng heard this, his face turned dark, and he knew that the water here was very deep.

The old king of Nan'an County, how can he be restless?
Fang Ji thought for a while, and said: "Jie Shuai, why not wait until the day Jie Shuai celebrates his birth, and see what the generals who came to serve here say?"

Wang Ziteng's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "General Yao, you should first ask someone to investigate secretly. If it is not possible, then move Zeng Ji's Yaowu camp first!"

Due to the eagerness of Emperor Chongping's urging, Wang Ziteng couldn't care less for a while, so he could only go through one battalion first.

At the same time, following Jia Heng's return to Beijing and his promotion to the No. [-], the whole city of Shenjing also began to spread, occasionally mixed with the wind of the emperor urging the prince to rectify the Beijing camp, the rain was about to come, and the undercurrent was surging.

The civil servants who had been arguing endlessly because of the malpractice of reforming the salt service also began to turn their attention to the Beijing camp one after another.

Rongguofu, Lixiangyuan

Zhou Rui's family received a message from Baozhu and a post for Aunt Xue in Rongqing Hall, so they took the post to find Aunt Xue.

Entering the wing room, he smiled and said, "How is my aunt?"

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Okay, why are you here?"

Saying that, greet Zhou Rui's family to sit down.

Zhou Rui's family said with a smile: "Grandma Dongfu Heng said that the plum blossoms in Huifang Garden are blooming, so she invited the old lady, madam, and Second Mistress Lian to have a look."

Aunt Xue accepted the post from Zhou Rui's family, turned her head to look at Baochai, and said softly: "My dear girl, Brother Heng's daughter-in-law of Dongfu, said that the plum blossoms in Huifang Garden are blooming, let's go and have a look in the afternoon ?”

Because Xue Pan made such a fuss yesterday, Aunt Xue was always a little embarrassed to meet Jia Heng, the patriarch of the Jia clan.

Baochai put down the "Three Kingdoms" story book in her hand, raised her pear-white and greasy face, and said with a chuckle: "Since I sent someone to post a post, go and have a look, it's strange to be bored at home. "

People send people to call, but if they don't go, it's like resenting what happened yesterday.Besides, she was also a little curious about what kind of stunning beauty this Grandma Heng was, who actually caused such a big disturbance in the East Mansion back then.

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "That's the reason."

Suddenly remembered something, and called Xiangling: "Go and get the flowers in the box."

Xiangling responded, and turned around from the curtain not long after, holding a wooden box in her hand.

Zhou Rui's family smiled, and stared at Xiangling, seeing the girl's soft eyebrows and eyes, with a rouge mark in it, she couldn't help being taken aback, and said in surprise: "This girl looks like Grandma Heng of Dongfu. "

After finishing speaking, I felt a slip of the tongue.

If this word spreads to the East Mansion, and compares the headed wife with a little girl, isn't it trampling on others?

When Aunt Xue heard the words, the smile froze on her face, and she asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Rui's family quickly smiled and said: "It doesn't really look like it. It's just my misreading. It's just that the eyebrows and eyes are soft and weak."

Aunt Xue was puzzled and went, took the bead flowers, and said with a smile: "This is a pile of gauze flowers with fresh patterns made in the palace. It was delivered this morning. There are twelve branches in total. No one in our family wears them. If you wear it for a girl, each of the three girls in your family will have two sticks, keep two sticks for grandma Dongfu Heng, give the remaining four sticks two sticks to Miss Lin, and give the other two sticks to Maid Feng to wear."

Zhou Rui's family laughed and said, "Why doesn't Miss Bao keep two branches?"

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Baby girl, she never loves these flowers and powders."

Zhou Rui's family smiled and went accordingly.

Zhou Rui's family first went to Tanchun, Yingchun, Xichun, and Fengjie to divide the flowers, and then took the other flowers to the small courtyard where Daiyu was.

In Daiyu's room, because of the warmth of the earth dragon, a fragrant fragrance like orchid and musk wafted through the air.

At this moment, Zijuan was talking with Daiyu.

"Girl, Grandma Heng in the East Mansion said that the plum blossoms in Huifang Garden are in bloom, and I want everyone to go enjoy the plum blossoms. Miss?" Zijuan brewed a cup of crispy cheese tea, which was steaming with aroma.

Daiyu is behind the writing desk at the moment. The girl is wearing a sea blue collar with a moon white base and a sapphire blue bamboo leaf printed satin front skirt. She is wearing a pink stand-up collar jacket and a white embroidered pleated skirt. She is writing at the desk with a brush. with.

Of course I was writing a letter to my family. Hearing this, he stared at Zijuan and said in a charming voice, "Go and see, plum blossoms bloom only once in four seasons of the year."

Zijuan smiled, put down the cup of tea, and said: "The girl should wear thicker clothes later, be careful not to catch a cold."

Daiyu said softly, "What are you doing in such thick clothes? It's killing me from the cold."

The smile on Zijuan's face froze for a while, the girl was very angry today, since a letter came from Yangzhou this morning, she said some weird words.

I have some guesses about the reason in my heart, but I am not settled.

Zijuan tentatively said: "Master Heng hasn't come for a long time, Miss..."

Daiyu glanced at Zijuan with a smoky eyebrow, and said angrily: "If it's so boring, he has come all the time, but it's hard for you to think about it every day."

Zijuan's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, it really is Wan'er here.

Speaking of which, before Jia Heng left, he called Daiyu to greet him with food, to help write letters, to deliver letters from home, and to deal with Baoyu's disturbance.

However, when I came back yesterday, I didn't even say hello, and of course there was the matter of Xue Pan and Jia Lian, Aunt Xue, Baochai and others.

While eating, he took a look at Daiyu, and said nothing after that.

Then, this morning, I received a letter from my family from Nanbianer. His father, Lin Ruhai, told Daiyu not to think about Yangzhou, and to discuss with Jia Heng more often.

But where can Daiyu go to find someone to discuss with?
No one can be found.

Generally speaking, people who are used to being passive will not take any initiative except for internal friction.

When it fell on Daiyu, she didn't even know why she was angry.

Although Zijuan knew that it was because of Jia Heng, she was not sure what Daiyu was thinking, so she couldn't persuade her blindly.

"This is a letter from Daddy. I didn't come until this morning. I'll bring it to him in the afternoon." Sure enough, when Zijuan stopped talking, after a while, Daiyu couldn't hold her breath, but she took the initiative to speak. road.

The envelope was sealed, and she didn't know what was written inside.

Daiyu doesn't know what she is angry at the moment, there is no reason for this anger, even she met again yesterday, although she didn't say a word.

Then, after receiving this letter today, for some reason, I suddenly felt unhappy everywhere.

Zijuan said softly: "Uncle Heng is so busy every day. He just came back yesterday and encountered that incident again. He might not think of the girl for a while. If the girl is worried about the things in the south, wait Xia and Uncle Heng take the initiative to discuss it, so as to save the girl from worrying about it every day."

Daiyu said "hmm" and was silent.

At this moment, the snow geese from outside came in and said in a low voice: "Girl, sister Zijuan, wife's companion Zhou Rui's family is here."

Zijuan responded, and hurriedly went out to look around, and smiled at Zhou Rui's family: "The girl is inside."

Zhou Rui's family came into the wing room, smiled and greeted Daiyu first.

Then he said: "Miss Lin, Mrs. Xue asked me to send flowers."

Daiyu paused for a moment, took the box containing the palace flowers, saw that there were four of them, picked up one to play with, and asked curiously: "What kind of flower is this?"

Zhou Rui's family smiled and said: "It's the palace flower. It's Mrs. Xue who is doing business with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They gave it away. It's not common."

"Does this flower belong to other girls, or is it just me?" Daiyu asked suddenly.

Zhou Rui's family smiled and said: "The girls are all here."

Daiyu smiled lightly, threw the palace flowers into the box, and said: "I know, others won't give me the rest if they don't choose."

Zhou Rui's family's smile froze, and they dared not speak for a while.

Zijuan pulled past Zhou Rui's house and walked aside, and said softly: "Sister Zhou, the girl has been feeling unwell for the past two days, and she is very angry. I will tell you."

Zhou Rui's family smiled wryly and said: "There are two more flowers here for grandma Dongfu Heng. How can Miss Lin pick out the leftovers, and the styles of these flowers are not bad."

Zijuan complained again, and said softly, "Sister Zhou, please leave two flowers here."

Zhou Rui's family hurried over.

Zijuan turned around at this time, walked up to Daiyu, and said softly: "Miss, there are four flowers, let the girl pick them first, and the remaining two are intended to be given to Grandma Heng. "

Daiyu: "..."

Hearing that the last two were for Grandma Heng, for a moment, I felt a little annoyed.

"It's true... I made trouble for no reason." Daiyu said with a gloomy face and absent-minded eyes.

Zijuan sighed, and said softly: "Young lady, don't feel guilty, I don't know why, and I don't know why, and I will wait until I see Uncle Heng."

Daiyu's starry eyes drooped slightly, and she sighed softly.
