The Red Mansions

Chapter 985 Jia Mu: This is really...a man of talent and beauty
Honor Hall

Although Shi Nai left, Mrs. Liang did not. Instead, she sat down and stayed.

Jia's mother sat on the Arhat's bed and chatted with Liang Shi, while Xiangyun, Tanchun and Baoqin accompanied her and laughed together.

At this moment, a nun entered the hall and said, "Old lady, Second Master Bao is here."

Jia Mu said with a smile, "bring people in quickly."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a young man wearing a purple gold crown with gold bundles on his head, walked quickly into the hall, bowed to Jia Mu, with a gloomy expression on his face like a silver bowl full of moon in Mid-Autumn Festival, and said: "I have seen the old ancestor. "

Jia Mu didn't notice anything different, and with a kind smile on her fair face, she said, "Baoyu, you just came back from school?"

Baoyu said: "After hearing the letter from the old ancestor, I immediately came from the school."

As he spoke, he sat close to him.

Jiamu put her arms around Baoyu's shoulders, sensing Baoyu's depression at this moment, she asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang also looked at Baoyu one after another, only to find that Baoyu's face was pale and her eyes were gloomy.

Baoyu said in a low voice, "Old Ancestor, I met Sister Lin just now."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Yu'er sat here for a while just now, and when she got tired of talking, she went back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Did you see her on the way?"

Baoyu said in a low voice, "Old Ancestor, I saw Sister Lin and Brother Heng together just now."

"Brother Heng just went back, maybe we went back together on the way." Mother Jia didn't understand what she meant for a moment, she said with a light smile.

But Tanchun put down the Nine Chains in his hand, glanced at Baoqin, and felt something bad in his heart.

Baoyu turned pale and said in a trembling voice, "They..."

After thinking about it, he raised a full moon face and begged, "Old Ancestor, can you make the decision and let Sister Lin promise it to me?"

Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue: "???"

Tanchun Yingli frowned, and froze in place, looking at Baoyu in shock, thinking to herself, is this hysteria again?
And Xiangyun and Baoqin also looked at Baoyu with strange eyes, shocked inexplicably.

That's fine, why are you saying this?Didn't Sister Lin make a lifelong appointment with Brother Heng?Brother Bao is so cold...

Aunt Xue's fair face was already full of disbelief, obviously she didn't expect Baoyu to say such earth-shattering words.

The smile on Jia Mu's face froze, and she said: "Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. Your sister Lin's marriage is naturally decided by her father. How do you talk about it?"

Mrs. Wang also felt annoyed in her heart, and it was rare to reprimand Baoyu, saying, "I see that you have been educated in school. Be careful, I heard you and beat you!"

An orphan girl with a miserable life experience, frail and sickly, her own son got angry about it in the past, and now she says betrothal words in front of the old lady, which is simply outrageous.

Because Baoyu used to act out of tune, although everyone was shocked, they quickly calmed down.

Sister Feng smoothed things over with a smile and said, "Brother Bao is getting older and already thinking of finding a wife. Old ancestor, you have to talk about family matters in time for tomorrow."

Jia Mu also smiled and said, "Baoyu is not young, and I'm talking about making it for him."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiangyun with the golden unicorn around his neck, and the golden jade match should also be here.

Baoyu looked at Jia's mother with dazed eyes, and said coldly: "Old ancestor, after sister Lin came to the house when she was young, we ate and slept in one bed. We were as good as one person. Brother Heng came later. Now Sister Lin has alienated me."

When Jia's mother heard about Jia Heng, her heart skipped a beat, she seemed to feel that there was a great danger, her brows were furrowed, and she rarely said in a reproachful tone: "Nonsense again, your elder brother Heng is taking care of your younger sister Lin."

But as he said that, he also felt that he lacked confidence. If he had a family, what happened to the princess who gave the marriage and the little princess?And that baby girl.

Aunt Xue also sensed something was wrong, and said with a smile: "Old lady, Baoyu has been overwhelmed in school, and it's hard to see Lin girl today."

"I just saw Brother Heng and Sister Lin holding hands, and they were walking into the garden." Baoyu finally couldn't help it at this moment, her eyes were full of tears, and she felt like a knife was piercing her heart, almost tearing her heart apart.

Aunt Xue: "..."

Mrs. Wang: "???"

hand in hand?
When Jia Mu heard this, her complexion changed, and there was a trace of unnaturalness in her old eyes.

She had vaguely guessed that Brother Heng and Yu'er might have an affair, but it was hard to confirm, so she gave Baoyu Xiangyun and Baoqin in exchange.

Did Baoyu see this?

The mandarin duck behind Jiamu had an eager look on her face, and said, "Old lady, when we were in the south of the Yangtze River, Uncle Heng and Miss Lin were very close. After returning to Beijing, Uncle Heng should have told Master Lin as well." It's about Miss Lin."

Aunt Xue raised her eyes to look at Yuanyang, feeling a little belatedly surprised.

No wonder Lin Yatou often visits Bao Yatou's house. The two of them seem to be on good terms. It turns out...

But in this way, if Brother Heng asks for a marriage from the palace in the future, will Lin Yatou grab it?

With this thought, Aunt Xue's heart skipped a beat.

When Jia Mu heard this, her complexion changed, she calmed down, and said softly, "This... Brother Heng, shouldn't be, how old is Yu'er? When did this happen?"

In fact, with Jia Heng's detached status today, if he falls in love with Daiyu, even Jia's mother can't say no more, or there is no one in Ningrong and Rongfu who is qualified to criticize Jia Heng's love life.

Daiyu is still in her boudoir, while Jia Heng has a family, but she is still married by the palace.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Old Ancestor, it seems that last year in the south of the Yangtze River, Brother Heng escorted Sister Lin to Yangzhou at that time, maybe it was good at that time."

Originally, I wanted to see that person's joke, but after thinking about it, I decided to help Yuan Yuan a few words.

Jia Mu said with emotion: "Then this is really a man and a woman."

She had watched Baoyu and Daiyu grow up together since she was a child, and she didn't want such a twists and turns in the middle.

Baoyu: "???"

Talented and beautiful?

Seeing Baoyu's gloomy expression, Jia's mother also reacted at this moment, she seemed to be annoyed, and said strangely: "In the family, it's Lin girl and Bao girl who stand out one by one, and Brother Heng is a good one."

She didn't know what to say, this is really the man of Jia's family, is there anyone who doesn't cheat?And the pinch is still sharp.

Baoyu looked confused at the moment, staring at Jiamu, only to feel her heart sinking to the bottom of the valley.

Jia's mother said: "Baoyu, since your sister Lin and your elder brother Heng are in love, the rest is up to your uncle Lin to decide."

Baoyu said: "Old ancestor, sister Lin and I..."

Jia Mu frowned, stopped Baoyu politely, and said with a smile: "Okay, Baoyu, hurry up and make a good marriage for you tomorrow, Yuanyang, go and lead Baoyu back to the room to rest. I just came back from school." , probably exhausted."

Fragments of the words just now reached Brother Heng's ears, it was not a joke.

Yuanyang hurriedly called the maid, pulled Baoyu and said, "Second Lord, go back and rest."

Mrs. Wang was sitting aside, seeing this scene, her expression was not very good.

Aunt Xue frowned, and decided to go back and ask Baochai later.

Others such as Tanchun, Xiangyun, and Baoqin knew that Daiyu and Jiaheng were a couple when they were in the south of the Yangtze River, so there was nothing unusual about them. Show doubts.

Jia Mu felt tired for a while, looked at Mrs. Wang beside her, and said, "Baoyu is not young anymore, it's time to make a marriage, take it easy."

If Brother Heng heard what you said just now, there will be a grudge in her heart again, and the two houses of Ningrong and Rong that she painstakingly maintained are like one family...

Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "The old lady said yes, there can be no delay."

The delay in Yuan Chun's marriage is almost an eternal pain in Mrs. Wang's heart.

……

……

Grand View Garden, Xiaoxiang Pavilion

In the afternoon, in the summer of 16 in Chongping, the cool breeze blew the emerald green bamboos in waves, making a rustling sound, which seemed to cover up the grumbling sound in the wing room.

Jia Heng bent down, telling stories with clever tongue, completely unaware of Baoyu's "marriage proposal" in Rongqing Hall.

And Daiyu's white and jade-like beautiful neck was raised, leaning against the pillow, the jade cheeks on both sides of her childish face were as red as fire, her delicate body trembled slightly, her eyebrows furrowed and relaxed, her pair of starry eyes Narrowing his eyes slightly, he looked at the young man with shyness and anger.

Jia Heng wiped his face with a handkerchief, looked at the red bead fairy grass that seemed to be swaying in the wind, stretched out his hand to gently caress the beautiful face, and whispered in the girl's ear, "It's hard to hold back!" .”

Looking at Daiyu like this, there is always a sense of sight of a fairy falling into evil.

Daiyu: "..."

What are these words?

Daiyu's beautiful cheeks were as red as blood, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, you...you are making fun of people again."

Jia Heng stroked Daiyu's shaved shoulders, and said: "Sister Lin, you said that when we first met, my sister was still depressed and frowning, but now she is much better."

At the beginning, I really never thought that the crimson pearl fairy grass would one day lie in his arms, so sweet and sweet.

"At that time, I didn't expect Brother Heng to be like this. It's really hard to draw a dragon and a tiger. You know people and faces but don't know your heart." Daiyu snorted softly, and leaned her head into Jia Heng's arms, her starry eyes were full of anger. , pinched Jia Heng's hand.

Jia Heng tended the lamb lightly, and said, "Sister Lin doesn't really like it either."

Daiyu's face was slightly red, her pink lips pursed, she hummed softly, and stroked Jia Heng's shoulder.

After arguing for a while, the two cuddled together, and Daiyu suddenly asked: "Brother Heng, how...why did you like me back then?"

Looking back now, the two seem to have fallen in love with each other before they went to Jiangnan, and the trip to Yangzhou just punctured that layer of window paper.

Jia Heng said: "Didn't I tell you? However, it seems that I went to Qingxu Temple to have a funeral at the specific time. Seeing that Sister Lin is not very old, her eyebrows and eyes seem to hide indescribable thoughts, and her body is also weaker. Thinking that this girl needs to stay with her and take good care of her."

Hearing this, Daiyu seemed to recall what happened back then in her starry eyes, her heart was joyful and sweet, and she said coquettishly: "At that time, Big Brother Heng was still taking care of me in the name of father, so he took care of me as his own daughter-in-law."

Jia Hengqing coughed, lightly pinched the girl's greasy face, causing Xing Mou to stare angrily, and said: "There is also a part of the reason, but my sister is Zhong Lingyuxiu, born beautiful, what about my sister? I always think my sister should be very beautiful." It's been dark for a long time."

Daiyu's face was bright and beautiful, she said with a light smile, "I don't know when, maybe from the first time Brother Heng went to Rongqing Hall, the fate was slowly settled."

At that time, the boy was a commoner, but he was like the chivalrous men in those stories.

Jia Heng held her slender and tender plain hands, smiled lightly, and said: "At that time? It seems that I didn't even see my sister. Later, when the old lady invited a banquet, I met my sister for the first time. My sister was not very old at that time. .”

Daiyu is not young now, but she is white and thin, with a face the size of a palm. In fact, there is a certain basis for letting a certain little yellow duck play the role in later generations.

Daiyu raised her blushing cheeks, stared at the young man bewilderedly, and said in a low voice: "Brother Heng, we will never be separated in this life, okay?"

If he always abandons him, she won't be able to survive.

"En." Jia Heng stared at the girl, knowing that Daiyu had moved her true feelings, gently holding her smooth and delicate chin, she couldn't help but move closer to her moist pink lips.

Daiyu is one of the few who gave him a sense of love. Her youthful beauty was like the hot summer wind blowing on her face, and she felt drunk and warm, while the softness between her brows and eyes was like water, like the misty rain in the Jiangnan water town.

At this time, Daiyu stretched out her plain hand to resist Jia Heng's approach, her brows and eyes were clouded, and she said shyly, "Wash your mouth."

Just now...and now you're kissing her again, don't you think it's dirty?

Jia Heng picked up the teacup from the side, rinsed his mouth lightly, and put it aside.

Daiyu lowered her eyebrows, but she saw the young man approaching again, his cheeks were as red as blood, and he gently stroked Jia Heng's shoulder.

The two stayed together for a while, Jia Heng looked at the girl with rosy cheeks and shy eyes, and said softly: "Did my sister wash her face with tears all day long?"

As he spoke, he gently stroked his eyebrows that seemed to be unrolled, feeling velvety.

The blush on Daiyu's palm-sized face faded slightly, like her unopened starry eyes flowing with autumn waves, like the willow bridge alleys in Gusu City, drizzled and moist with flowing waves.

Daiyu's pretty voice seemed to contain the nostalgia and melancholy of the past, and said quietly: "I have been in Beijing for six or seven years since I was five years old alone, and I don't know how many times I have cried."

Jia Heng gently put his arms around Xiao Xiaosha, and said, "I won't let my sister cry again in the future."

"Hmph." Daiyu snorted softly, her starry eyes saw the blame, and said: "Brother Heng is also a promiscuous person, why didn't I realize it before."

As she spoke, the girl couldn't help pinching Jia Heng lightly.

"Don't mess around." Jia Heng pushed Daiyu's hand away, leaned into the girl's ear and said, "Sister Lin, why don't you serve me too."

Although Daiyu's youth is young, she has a different charm.

Daiyu stared blankly at the young man, her jade cheeks were blushing like clouds, a strand of hair hung down from her head, her gaze was as full as water, and the earrings on her earlobe seemed to be shining in the summer sun, showing off her eyes.

Jia Heng looked into the distance, frowning from time to time, and couldn't help but think of something on his mind.

Daiyu is really blue-hearted, with eloquent teeth.

After a long time, Daiyu raised her eyes to look at the young man, her eyes were full of luster, and she said in embarrassment, "Brother Heng."

She suspected that Brother Heng did it on purpose just now.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Okay, let's stop making trouble."

He picked up the handkerchief at the side and handed it over, saying: "I'm free these few days, I'll come over to accompany you more."

As he spoke, he took another cup of tea from the small table beside him and handed it over.

However, at this moment, Zijuan's flustered voice suddenly came from under the eaves, and said anxiously: "Miss, Miss San, Miss Yun and Miss Qin are here."

Daiyu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and said quickly, "Brother Heng, get up quickly."

Jia Heng quickly tidied up his skirts, put on his clothes, and said, "Sister Lin, you clean up first, I'll deal with them."

At this moment, Tanchun, Xiangyun and Baoqin entered the courtyard talking and laughing, talking to Xiren.

When Jia Heng was not in the mansion, it was common for groups of golden hairpins to visit the house.

But this time, it was obvious that he had just seen a small farce in Rongqing Hall, so he came to look for Daiyu.

"Where's your girl?" Baoqin asked with a smile on her plump face, holding a Xiangfei fan in her hand.

When the weather is hot, Baoqin, who is slightly fat, feels a little hot. At the moment, her baby-fat face is sweating profusely. The sweat beads form a layer of water on the neck and collarbone, slightly soaking the white tube top. A shallow gully appeared.

Xiren's shrewd and silent face was full of smiles, and he said with a light smile: "The uncle came just now, and the girl is talking to the uncle."

Xiang Yun tilted his head and said with a smile: "Brother Heng will play with Sister Lin when he comes back, and he won't play with us."

Tanchun glanced at Xiangyun, with a faint smile on Yingmei's face, and said: "Sister Lin is worried about Brother Heng's fighting in the north these days, and Brother Heng naturally wants to talk to her first."

They are a young couple, so naturally they are the first to find them, so what are they?

The girl let out a deep sigh.

A few girls in hairpin skirts and jackets were talking and walking towards the hall. At this moment, Jia Heng had already tidied up his appearance and came out from the inner room.

"Brother Heng." The disappointment on Xiangyun Apple's round face disappeared, and he rushed forward with a smile, and threw himself into the boy's arms.

Jia Heng hugged the little chubby girl, gently stroked her soft hair, and said with a smile: "Sister Yun, well, it's quite hot, don't hug her, she's sweating all over."

Although the little chubby girl was a little soft and elastic in her arms, it was somewhat hot on such a hot day.

Jia Heng said, took Xiangyun's hand, sat on a chair beside him, looked at Baoqin and Tanchun warmly, and asked, "Why are you so idle today?"

Tanchun smiled lightly and said: "Brother Heng, the family is all gathered in the old lady's courtyard to listen to the opera, we can't take it anymore, so we come over and have a look, Brother Heng hides in Sister Lin's room to have a leisurely time."

Do you want to tell Brother Heng what Brother Bao said about "hysteria" later?
Jia Heng smiled lightly and said, "I came to see your sister Lin, but I haven't seen you for a few months, and you too. I'm going to play with you later."

Bao Qin looked at the young man with a wide smile, met those clear eyes, felt a strange feeling in her heart, changed the subject, and asked, "Brother Heng, where is Sister Lin?"

As he said that, he turned his face and looked towards the inner room deep in the screen.

I don't know what Brother Heng and Sister Lin are doing in the house, maybe it's like Brother Heng is with her, hugging and kissing?

Thinking of the scene of getting along in Qichiyuan that day, Baoqin was also in a trance.

Jia Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "She'll come over later."

At this moment, Daiyu came out from the inner room, her beautiful face seemed to have a peach rosy that had not faded just now, and said to her, "Sister Yun, third sister, you are here."

As he spoke, he came close enough to look at Jia Heng, his starry eyes were full of annoyance.

Although the room was cleaned up as much as possible at this moment, the strong atmosphere still lingered.

Xiangyun looked at Daiyu, his slightly chubby face beamed with joy, and said, "Why did Sister Lin take so long to come out?"

"It's so hot this day, so I changed into some light clothes." Daiyu chuckled lightly, then changed the subject and asked, "What did the aunt of the Shi family, sister Xunyun, say?"

Tanchun took a look at the girl who was much brighter than before, and said: "The old lady said that Sister Yun is not young anymore, whether the marriage should be settled or not, she didn't say anything else."

Originally, it was a topic of conversation, and wanted to bring up the matter of Xiangyun and Baoyu, but no one thought that Baoyu, who was stimulated, would charge for love.

Seeing displeasure on Xiangyun's rosy apple-round face, he said, "I don't want to get married. Besides, my third sister, Sister Lin, doesn't even want anyone, so why should I be in a hurry."

As she said that, she looked at Daiyu and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, when will you and Brother Heng get married? We can wait to drink your wedding wine."

When Daiyu heard this, she had a thin face, but suddenly her face flushed with embarrassment, and she said, "Yun'er, you're talking nonsense again."

As he spoke, he went to play tricks on Xiangyun.

Xiangyun smiled and said, "Don't tell me, brother-in-law Lin is sitting here."

At this time, Tanchun came over and persuaded him with a smile.

"I will definitely not spare her today." Daiyu said angrily.

Jia Heng looked at the little girls playing together, and he also saw a sense of contentment on his face. After the war, it was rare to be as comfortable at home as he is now.

At this moment, Baoqin was fanning the wind with Xiangfei, peeking at the young man beside her, pursing her pink lips, and stopped talking.

Jia Heng turned to look at Baoqin, and said, "Sister Baoqin, is uncle in Beijing these days?"

"Father went to Jiangnan once in mid-March and went out to the sea once, and now he is back, and he said that he will meet and discuss business with Brother Heng when he comes back." Bao Qin said softly.

Jia Heng nodded, picked up the teacup, glanced at the snow-skinned and pretty chubby girl, and said softly: "Then wait a little later, Sister Baoqin and I will talk about business, by the way, and Nuo Na, I haven't seen her much these days."

After returning to Beijing, it was really tossing and turning among the gold hairpins, each one was not easy to be left out in the cold, and it was more tiring than fighting in the north.

By the way, later, I have to go to Changcui Temple to see Miaoyu.

Listening to Jia Heng's rendezvous, Baoqin's heart skipped a beat, and she said "um", her originally somewhat melancholy mood brightened up, and her plump, white and greasy face turned a little blush.

"Nona said that she wanted to go home for a few days, and she has been here for a while." Baoqin said.

Jia Heng nodded and said: "If she wants to go back, after the big wedding, when we go south, we will go by boat together."

……

……

Jia Heng stayed in the Xiaoxiang Hall for a while, and returned to Ningguo Mansion without joking with the Yingying Yanyan.

In the inner house and the study room, near dusk, some golden and red sunlight shone through the window and fell on the girl who was writing at the desk, which seemed to remove the cold and secluded temperament, making the girl a little softer.

Chen Xiao put down the book in his hand, followed the footsteps to look at the young man, picked up a letter from the corner of the desk and handed it over, and said in a clear voice: "This is the information on Xining that I had someone collect. In the past few months, Xining Jin Xiaoyu, the eldest son of the county prince, and his uncle Jin Xuan are fiercely fighting over the personnel of the Six Guards of Xining, and the person who will inherit the title has not yet been determined, and the Qinghai Mongolian Heshuote has also been actively expanding its power in the past two years, threatening Qinghai."

Jia Heng took the note, flipped through it "swipely", cast his eyes on it, covered the note, frowned and said: "What are these two uncles and nephews?"

Chen Xiaodao: "The Jin family guards the western frontier, facing the miscellaneous barbarians in Qinghai, and needs a capable patriarch to take the helm. Every time the successor is handed over, there will inevitably be such internal struggles. The court actually knows that most of the time it respects the Jin family. Internal resolutions, generally speaking, the loser will often go to the eunuch, and the court also approves it."

This is a decision made by the special situation in the Northwest, a bit like the Jiedu Liuhou of the late Tang and Five Dynasties, otherwise, the national title is related to fame and artifacts, and it will not be decided by the family.

Jia Heng looked silent for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "Let the detectives keep an eye on Xining's movements, and if the war breaks out, report it to the court in time and deal with it as soon as possible."

Although he probably won't lead the battle in the early stage, the sooner he intervenes, the easier it will be to clean up the mess in the future.

Chen Ling nodded, and handed over a poured cup of tea.

"I wrote a letter of speech, handed it to the palace early, and I can prepare it." Jia Heng took the teacup, sat down behind the desk, took the pen and paper, picked up a blank notebook, and started writing.

Chen Ling pursed her lips, stared at the young man writing at the desk, did not say much, sat on the huanghuali wooden chair at the side, and read the book again, feeling a sense of peace in her heart.

After a while, Jia Heng put down his pen and waited for the ink to dry, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, later you will send this memorial to the Secretary of General Affairs and deliver it to the palace."

"En." Chen Xiao responded.

"Master, Mr. Mu, the eldest son of the Prince of Dongping County, handed over the greeting card, saying that he came to see him." The servant girl called out from under the eaves of the study.

Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Xiao who was at the side, and said thoughtfully, "Xiaoxiao, I'll go and have a look."

With that said, he left the study and went to the flower hall.

At this moment, Mu Sheng was sitting in the hall of the front yard of Ningguo Mansion, wearing a stone blue gown, sitting upright, holding a teacup in his hand, took a sip, and took a good look at the furnishings of Ningguo Mansion.

Mu Sheng is thirty years old, and he is the son of the prince of Dongping County. Because Mu Sen, the king of Dongping County, has been in Yunnan for a long time. Knowing this, he sent his son to the center for training.

In fact, the Four Kings and Eight Dukes all had noble mansions in central Beijing, and they belonged to the Imperial Mansions like Ningrong and Rongfu.

And the relationship between the Mu family and the Jia family is not inferior to Nan'an County King to a certain extent, because a plaque in the Rongguo Mansion is written by Mu Shi, the ancestor of the Mu family, which shows the relationship between the two families.

Hearing the footsteps outside, Mu Sheng hurriedly got up to meet him, bowed his hands to the young man in the jade-colored gown, and said, "Your Majesty has seen Wei Guogong."

Jia Heng returned a salute, and said politely: "Young Lord Mu came to visit and made the humble house flourish."

The two also often met each other when they were on duty at the Military Aircraft Office, but Jia Heng often led troops abroad for two years, and occasionally returned to Beijing, so meeting at the Military Aircraft Office was also a matter of business.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Jia Heng asked about Mu Sheng's intentions.

Mu Sheng's face was serious, but deep in his eyes was eagerness, and he said: "Duke Wei, I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall if I have nothing to do, so I come here to ask for something."

Jia Heng said: "Young Lord Mu is serious. If you have something to say, you may wish to speak directly."

If there is no accident, this person should be the king of Dongping County who will guard Yunnan in the future. It is still beneficial to leave a piece of incense now, in case there is a change in the center in the future.

Mu Sheng's voice was clear and heroic, and he said: "Nowadays the Hulu are raging in the north, the Duke of Wei has defeated them, and the head of the slave chieftain has returned to the capital. It is said that the Duke of Wei wants to rectify the military affairs of the Shandong Provincial Army and refine the navy, and he is willing to serve in the navy battalion."

Hearing this, Jia Heng frowned slightly, looked at Mu Sheng, and asked, "If you are a navy master, does Little Prince Mu want to go to Shandong and Tianjin Wei?"

He wants to rectify the naval forces of Tianjin Wei and Shandong Denglai. This kind of strategic adjustment when confronting captives is not a secret in the military aircraft department.

Mu Sheng said generously: "Since I entered Shenjing, I have often walked around the military aircraft. I didn't realize that there have been two years. I have been copying and copying the files and general affairs. I feel that I have wasted the years. I think that my martial arts achievements should be on the battlefield. Now The eastern captives returned with their halberds broken, as the Duke of Wei said, the battle between the two countries will be at sea, so I wish to go to the navy to serve the court, and I hope that the Duke of Wei will make it happen."

After speaking, he got up and bowed solemnly to Jia Heng.

"Young Lord Mu has a heart to let go, and you can recommend yourself to the Holy One." Jia Heng picked up the teacup at the side, and took a sip leisurely.

Mu Sheng looked at the calm young man with a burning gaze, and said loudly: "No one in the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty does not know that the Duke of Wei is in charge of the war against the captives. If you want to serve the country, you should follow the arrangements of the Duke of Wei. "

Facing the young man's expectant eyes, Jia Heng pondered for a moment, and said: "Young Lord Mu can recommend himself to the palace officials first, Shandong really needs good generals, and it will not be too late for Young Lord Mu to make up for it."

This kind of appointment and removal of personnel, it is impossible for him to go beyond the emperor in the palace to act on his own, or he is more respectful now than before.

In fact, Mu Sheng could be a deputy commander in chief to assist Shi Nai in the garrison of Shandong, to exercise a naval force, to lead troops to harass Jurchen in the hinterland of Liaodong, and to bleed Jurchen.

When Mu Sheng heard the words, he was slightly happy, got up, clasped his fists and said: "Then it all depends on Duke Wei's will."

Jia Heng said: "Young Lord Mu doesn't need to be so polite, as ministers in the same hall, we all serve for the imperial court. Since Young Lord Mu is willing to serve in the army, I have no reason to refuse."

Mu Sheng seemed to be worried about the young man's attitude, looked at the young man with burning eyes, and said in a low voice, "Can Duke Wei take a step to speak?"

Jia Heng's heart moved slightly, and he pretended to be puzzled and asked: "I don't know what advice does Little Prince Mu have?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and turned away the maids and nuns who were serving the tea. For a while, only Mu Sheng and Jia Heng were left in the hall.

Mu Sheng was silent for a moment, thinking about his words, and said, "Guo Wei, do you know that the old Nan'an prince and Liu Fang are the founders of the country, how many regard Wei Guo as enemies?"

Suspicion flashed in Jia Heng's eyes, and he said: "Why did the young prince Mu say that? As ministers in the same palace, they all serve the court. Why do they regard Jia as an enemy?"

Seeing that Jia Heng didn't take it seriously, Mu Sheng seemed a little impatient, and said: "The Duke of Wei had many disputes with several families before, and they held grudges and wanted to suppress the Duke of Wei, so they usually spoke indignantly. When the matter of the Duke of Wei is ruined, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing to the community."

Jia Heng took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "It's just a bunch of jumping clowns, it's hard to make things happen, and Jia has never taken it to heart."

The king of Nan'an County and others have great ambitions and few talents, and they are good at making wild words.

For such incompetent people, in fact, they should be allowed to do things, and then they will show their shame, and their arrogance will be wiped out.

"People don't harm tigers, but tigers hurt people's hearts." Mu Sheng looked worried, and said with concern: "Wei Guogong should be on guard."

Jia Heng smiled, looked at Mu Sheng thoughtfully, and asked: "Young Lord Mu's words are correct, but how these families plotted against Jia recently, please tell me."

At this moment, Mu Sheng also understood that the young man in front of him was not ignorant, but he just wanted to tell more details about this, so he calmed down and said: "The Duke of Wei has made great achievements, and it is the time when he is famous and attracts the attention of the government and the public. But Wei Guogong is too young after all, and now he has a high position and authority. They plan to contact some civil servants recently to slander and spread rumors. Artifact."

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, and said: "The left and right are just these rhetoric, chasing after the wind and shadow, and judging others by oneself, it is really not worth it."

He had vaguely guessed before that it was impossible for Yan Ye and others to sit back and watch him be proud, and they really wanted to make trouble secretly.

Then he just wrote a letter of resignation, to some extent, he predicted the enemy first.

Mu Sheng nodded, and said: "The Duke of Wei is the pillar of the country, and only the Duke of Wei can wipe out the Eastern Captives. They don't understand the overall situation, and they criticize and slander. Mu really can't stand it."

Jia Heng looked at Mu Sheng and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little prince Mu, those who are clamoring to slander the monarch and his ministers are nothing but the actions of villains. If the Holy Majesty knows about their evil deeds, he will surely be furious. Born to be disgusted, Mu Xiaowang now abandons the dark and turns to the light, his heart is as bright as the sun and the moon, and he lives up to the magnificent reputation of our founding martial arts heroes who are hardworking and heirs to the family."

Mu Sheng cupped his hands and said, "Duke Wei is too famous."

Afterwards, Jia Heng and Mu Sheng chatted briefly for a while, and saw Mu Sheng off. After returning to the hall, his complexion instantly became gloomy.
