The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Although you are a queen, you don't have the emperor's heart.Jia Lian glanced at the emperor's face, and thought of how people in the palace would slander Fang Wenhui behind his back in the future.

The Fang family quickly knelt down and said no.

After repeated embarrassment, Shui Mu said, as if squeezing a word through his teeth, "Just follow the Queen Mother's words." After speaking, he knelt down in front of the Supreme Emperor's spirit without saying a word, and burned them one by one. yellow paper.

After half a day, Shui Mu left the mourning hall after being begged by the officials on his knees, and went to the bedroom. He was drinking rice soup in the bedroom when he saw Fang Wenhui walking over with the emperor's eldest grandson.

"Master, what the Empress Dowager said..."

"Just follow the Queen Mother's orders."

Fang Wenhui didn't feel happy after hearing this, so she bent down, pulled the emperor's grandson and said, "Your great-grandfather is gone, hurry up and hug your grandfather to comfort him."

The emperor's grandson came forward with half understanding, thinking about what his father, queen, mother and concubine had said, he kowtowed first, and then he followed Fang Wenhui's instructions, holding Shui Mu's neck tightly with open arms.

Holding such a soft child in his arms, Shui Mu sighed and felt warm in his heart.

Fang Wenhui smiled and said: "This is the so-called endless life. Even though the emperor is gone, the emperor should look forward."

"You still dare to laugh? If someone else laughs, I will punish her to kneel outside all night." Shui Mu patted the eldest grandson of the emperor, and asked doubtfully, "The fifth child is born, why do you still lead the elders all day long?" Are the children of the second family wandering around?"

"Which one do you like? Was it decided by who was born? The fifth child can't walk and talk, and he can't compare with the eldest grandson." Fang Wenhui reached out and touched the back of the emperor's eldest grandson's head, seeing Dai Quan send him away. When the ginseng soup came, he handed it to Shui Mu himself.

Shui Mu drank a couple of sips, and heard that the time had come, so he took the emperor's eldest grandson to burn paper for the Supreme Emperor.

There was a total of 21 days of rest, and after the 21st day, Shui Mu led the group of officials to the mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor, and it took more than a month to go back and forth.After another 27 days, it was the post-sealing ceremony.

Unexpectedly, only two days after the seal, a sad letter suddenly came from the south. It turned out that the old prince of Nan'an had lost the battle and was captured by the enemy.

When Jia Lian heard the news, he was in the Ministry of Households discussing matters with the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment. Someone said: "It's a coincidence that the Ninth Prince captured Zhou and won the battle in the south; the new empress , the south side lost the battle. Now that the old prince of Nan'an is captured by bandits, I don't know what method the court will use to redeem him?"

Jia Lian saw that those who talked about this matter were all those who supported Xue Baochai before, and frowned, thinking that Tanchun was already married, and he didn't know who the Nan'an Palace would find to be a scapegoat. , I took the sedan chair and went home.

When Jia Lian entered the Dakuan courtyard, he saw Xu Qingheng helping Brother Yuan to pick peach blossoms all over the tree.When Xu Qingheng saw him turn his head back, he turned his head and said, "Do you know that the old prince of Nan'an suffered a defeat?"

Jia Lian nodded.

Xu Qingheng said with a smile: "The one in the palace is afraid that she is going to suffer, everyone says she is the root of trouble."

"No, it's the virtuous concubine who is going to suffer." Jia Lian said.

"Where do you start with this?" Xu Qingheng asked suspiciously, seeing Brother Yuan who was jumping and jumping with both hands, he handed him over to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian held Brother Yuan in his arms and took a closer look. Seeing that he was born like Liu Xianglian, he thought that there would be another Sai Panan in the future. While supporting the child on the tree, he said, "You still don't understand? Everything is good. If it falls on his family, the bad things are all other people's fault, wouldn't it make people suspicious?" While speaking, seeing Brother Yuan shaking the peach tree vigorously, he hastily pulled him away.

Xu Qingheng sneered: "Just don't tell me to touch your trees, and brother Yuan is not allowed to touch them, you can just hug those trees and live your life. Liu Qingyuan, listen, when you grow up in the future, don't be filial to your uncle .”

Jia Lian coughed lightly, and seeing the mandarin ducks coming from outside, she asked, "But what happened?"

Yuanyang pushed forward with both hands, and it turned out to be a small porcelain jar in each hand.

"What is this?" Jia Lian asked suspiciously.

The mandarin duck said: "The tea sent by the sixth prince will be sent by rain, snow and even dew every now and then after the year. I am so upset, but now I have brought tea again. Master Miaoyu said, please come and talk to the second master Lian." , so that this kind of muddled matter can be settled."

After hearing this, Jia Lian thought of Miaoyu's strange temper, but was impatient to see her, so she said, "It's enough to block this matter from now on. What can we do if we meet her?"

Yuanyang smiled and said, "That's what I said." He took the tea and asked Jia Lian, "Where are you going to send this?"

"You keep it." Jia Lian said, and carried Yuan Geer to Dongkuayuan to look for Liu Xianglian. After finding Liu Xianglian, she urged Liu Xianglian to make a baby walker for Yuan Yuan. At night, she went back to the back room. Sleep upstairs.

Early the next morning, when Jia Lian came out of Rongxi Hall in an official robe, Lin Zhixiao's family said, "The concubine Nan'an and the concubine Beijing are here."

"Tell grandma to go." Jia Lian said nonchalantly.

Lin Zhixiao's family said with a smile: "Princess Bei Jing still wants to see Miss Lin, so it can be seen that she is anxious to see her daughter-in-law."

Jia Lian's eyelids twitched, secretly thinking that Concubine Beijing wanted to see Lin Daiyu, see you sooner or later, why did she wait to see her when she came over with Concubine Nan'an?Confused in my heart, I went out, met the chief historian of Prince Zhongshun on the way, exchanged a few words with the chief historian, and continued to go to the household department.After dealing with a few important matters, I only felt sore shoulders, and was about to go to find Li Bizhou to jokingly relieve my fatigue, when suddenly I saw King Beijing and King Baojun walking hurriedly.

"Quick, follow us into the palace."

"What's the matter?" Jia Lian asked suspiciously.

King Baojun hurriedly said: "We need to discuss how to deal with the affairs in the south." He frowned and said, "Now whether to ask for peace, or to send troops and horses, the Lord has not yet made a decision."

Hearing this, Jia Lian immediately followed King Beijing and King Baojun to the palace, and whispered on the way: "The two concubines have already gone to our house. If they want to see Sister Lin, I'm afraid they are going to beat Sister Lin." The idea of ​​sending them overseas for marriage."

When Shui Rong heard the words, his eyes were shattered, and he couldn't say anything about Concubine Beijing Jing, so he said: "In this way, we must fight to the end!"

King Baojun listened to him, looked suspiciously at Jia Lian and Shui Rong, and suddenly saw Jia Lian looking at him, he couldn't help being stunned.

"Your Majesty, please also ask for an order. I won a series of victories before, but I suddenly lost a game. It may not be because of someone's internal response. If the internal response is found out, it will not be very difficult to win the battle." Jia Lian said with a smile.

King Baojun was startled.

Shui Rong turned his head to look at King Bao Jun, and said: "In this way, our uncle and nephew are of the same mind, let's walk south together."

King Baojun thought about it for a while, and felt that Fang Wenhui was planning for him before, and he should do his best at this time, so he agreed.

The three met Xu Shining, Yang Shilang, Li Bizhou, etc. on the way, and when they entered the Daming Palace, they saw Dongping County King, Xining County King, Nan'an County King, and the Zhongshun Prince, Jian County King, and Qian County King. wait inside.

Shui Mu walked back and forth in the room with her hands behind her back, and after a long time, she asked, "Xu Shining, how much food can you dispatch to the House of Internal Affairs?"

Xu Shining hurriedly replied: "My lord, don't worry, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Households will add two funds and provisions, enough to deal with the war."

"My lord," Nanan County King immediately took a step forward, "Please think twice, my lord! Absolutely don't talk about war lightly! My father's capture and his life and death are nothing compared to state affairs, but it can also be seen that the overseas Thieves are not to be underestimated easily. My lord, why don't you take a long-term plan and ask for peace for the time being, send out a peacemaking team, turn hostility into friendship, and then secretly rectify the troops, in order to avenge the shame in the future."

"What you said also makes sense." Shui Mu said in embarrassment, and glanced at Prince Zhongshun, seeing that he was silent, and seeing that King Baojun was indignant, and seemed to have something to say, so he asked him: "Old five, what do you think?" ?”

King Baojun took a look at King Beijing, then knelt down with King Beijing and said, "I am willing to fight the thieves!"

King Qianjun hadn't figured it out before, but when he saw what King Baojun said, he said, "Fifth brother, this is not the time to be a hero! Besides, if we fight again at this time, wouldn't it be that we will ruin the old Nan'an prince?" life?"

Nan'an County King pursed his lips tightly, and looked at Baojun King without saying a word.

Shui Mu put her hands behind her back and asked again: "Is there anyone else who seconded the proposal?"

Jia Lian glanced at Prince Zhongshun, and when he saw him nodding, he came out and said, "My lord, my lord, we have all the food, grass, soldiers and horses, and we have the right way to go all out, and then we will be exhausted. On the one hand, it loses the face of the great country, and on the other hand, it also chills the hearts of the soldiers. According to my minister, this defeat was due to the old prince's eagerness to win and fell into the scheme of the villain."

"You say that my father is not as good at soldiers and horses as you, a yellow-haired kid?" Nan'an County King said with a sneer.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "I only know that there is still a princess in Nan'an Palace, but the concubine is looking for a daughter from our Rongguo Mansion to marry and marry far away."

The king of Nan'an was bruised and purple on his face, and said with a sneer, "If you hadn't spread rumors and slandered my sister, how could my sister refuse to get married?"

"Enough!" Shui Mu closed his eyes, then asked Xu Shining and Yang Shilang, "Is there enough food, grass, soldiers and horses?"

Xu Shining said: "My lord, don't worry, the food and grass are ready."

Yang Shilang also hurriedly said: "My lord, please rest assured and fight."

"Okay!" Shui Mu rejoiced that he copied the houses of Zhou, Wu, Shi, and Zhen early, and immediately said to King Beijing and King Baojun, "The two of you are ordered to help General Shenwu and tell General Shenwu that the court Food and grass are in place, just rest assured to fight.”

"...My lord, my father..." Nan'an County King asked hesitantly.

After Shui Mu frowned, he said to Prince Baojun, "Be sure to bring the old prince back."

Nan'an County King's heart sank, and he secretly thought that the old prince had come back alive.

"My lord, please go with Yang Shilang." Jia Lian knelt down and said.

Yang Shilang was shocked.

Shui Mu hesitated at first, then nodded.

Yang Shilang Zhang Er Monk couldn't figure it out, he was in a daze, seeing Shui Mu nod, he didn't dare to refuse.

After coming out of Daming Palace, Yang Shilang followed Jia Lian closely, and when the others dispersed, he asked him, "Er Lian, what do you mean?"

Jia Lian hooked Yang Shilang's shoulders, giggling, and said: "I want to go to Zhongshun Palace, Master Yang?"

Yang Shilang didn't dare to go to Zhongshun Palace like Jia Lian did, shook his hand away, and went home angrily.

When Jia Lian left the palace gate, he ordered the sedan chair to follow Prince Zhongshun's sedan chair, and entered the Palace of Zhongshun one after another.

"My lord, all the ministers have done what he wants." Jia Lian said with a smile.

Prince Zhongshun came out of the sedan chair without saying a word, and asked suspiciously: "Why did you ask Yang Shilang to go with you?" Although he wanted to keep the fighting in the south so that the soldiers and horses in the capital could be transferred, he never thought about it. Ask Yang Shilang to go with him.

Jia Lian said with a smile, "Does the lord want to call him a servant, or do you want to call a lower official to be a servant?"

"...you are younger after all." Prince Zhongshun thought about Jia Lian's ambition.

Jia Lian coughed twice, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with being younger? I already have people in the household department. If I become a servant, wouldn't I be able to help the prince better than the servant Yang?"

"... What if the superior refuses?" Prince Zhongshun said hesitantly.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "There are many things that the emperor refuses to do. If he refuses, he still makes Fangfei his queen."

Prince Zhongshun thought for a while, then nodded, and said with a smile: "You take care of everything, the war in the south can drag on for a few more years, just a few more years."

Jia Lian smiled and agreed, "I want to go back and prepare to go south, so I can't come here often to greet my lord, so don't blame me for asking my lord."

Lord Zhongshun nodded, and suddenly said with a smile: "Then King Beijing is not in the capital, why not ask your master to make the decision and marry Miss Lin elsewhere."

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "No, my lord."

"Why not?"

Jia Lian said nonsense: "She brought a lot of money into my house. If she gets married, where can I find the money to pay her back?"

Prince Zhongshun smiled knowingly.

Jia Lian bid farewell respectfully, and when he got into the sedan chair, he thought about how to tell Xu Qingheng when he got home. Sure enough, after he entered the house, he told Xu Qingheng about going south again, and Xu Qingheng immediately looked down.

Xu Qingheng pinched Brother Yuan's armpits with both hands, let him curl up his legs and jump around, stretching out his hands from time to time to smooth the bedding under him, but he didn't look at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian sat on the chair beside the bed, holding the clear water brought in by Wu'er in his hand, took two sips, and seeing that Xu Qingheng was silent, he said, "Say something."

"What else are you talking about? You've settled down on your own, what should I say?" Xu Qingheng sneered.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Since you know that what you said is useless, why do you have to droop your face? You can just smile."

Xu Qingheng couldn't help but rolled his eyes at him, bit his lip and frowned after thinking for a while, then asked, "When will you be back?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "There is no one who will not come back in three or five years."

Xu Qingheng sneered again, and suddenly said wistfully: "You said that I dislike you so much, why did I have the guts to show you a cold face, so that you also know what it means to worry about gain and loss."

"I like you the most."

"Of course, you are planning to like me only if I like you." Xu Qingheng sneered again.Hearing movement outside suddenly, he asked, "Is Sister Lin coming?"

"It's me." Daiyu came from outside and asked through the window, "Did brother and sister-in-law quarrel?"

"No delay, you come in, we will still be arguing." Xu Qingheng said with a smile in the room.

Daiyu opened the curtain and walked in slowly, stood by the curtain and said with a smile, "It's fine if there's no delay. Why don't you argue first?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Xu Qingheng asked with a smile.

Daiyu came in and said, "Just now the Concubine Nan'an and the Concubine Beijing came. What do you mean? The words are so cloudy that people don't understand."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "It's Concubine Bei Jing who wants to retire, and Concubine Nan'an just needs someone to marry her princess, so she came here together."

Daiyu's face turned pale when she heard the words, and said: "Since you want to withdraw from the marriage, then just withdraw. Let me go, he is free and at ease, and I am at ease."

"He's going to fight in the south for you." Xu Qingheng said with a smile.

Daiyu looked at Jia Lian hesitantly.

Jia Lian nodded and said with a smile, "You can stay at home with your sister-in-law at ease."

"Second Brother Lian is going too?" Daiyu asked.

Jia Lian's throat was itchy, and he managed to hold it back. Seeing that the cotton trousers Brother Yuan was wearing were fat and big, which accentuated his big butt, he patted him with his hands.

Xu Qingheng raised his eyes and said with a smile: "He is very eager to go out for a while. According to me, don't blame the King of Beijing Jing, you wrote a letter, telling him to take care of yourself in the south. Otherwise, you know you can't retreat , Baichou broke his own body and chilled the hearts of others."

"With such a sharp tongue, why don't you use it to quarrel with the second brother, and why not talk about me?" Daiyu blushed, and couldn't help teasing Xu Qingheng.

Xu Qingheng glanced at Jia Lian and said with a smile, "Sometimes we quarrel." Suddenly he put Brother Yuan into Jia Lian's arms and just looked at him with a smile.

Seeing Brother Yuan holding his face in both hands very close, Jia Lian felt that Brother Yuan liked him, so he moved his face closer, and suddenly smelled a strange smell, and his expression changed immediately.

"I know you are playing tricks." Jia Lian said, pushing Brother Yuan back.

Xu Qingheng pushed him back again.

Daiyu laughed and said, "It's not yours, so I'll let you play like this. Carefully, my parents will be sad when they see it." As she spoke, she came over, took Brother Yuan out, and went to the east room to take a bath and change clothes.

Jia Lian thought to himself that although Daiyu was not as eccentric as Miaoyu, she was also a clean person, so why didn't she feel disgusted and just hugged Brother Yuan and left?After a while, he thought that probably because he watched the sisters around him give birth to children, just like Xu Qingheng, she also gave birth to motherhood.Seeing that Xu Qingheng was still sullen, he warned: "After I leave, if the sixth prince politely brings tea and snow water, then politely refuse or accept the things. If he is not rude, Just turn a blind eye and close one eye, and if he makes an inch, send someone to send news to Chang Sheng."

"Understood." Xu Qingheng said softly.

Seeing her upset, Jia Lian got up and went out. Seeing Yuanyang on the corner door, she told Yuanyang to call Zhao Tianliang to the study. "Is that medicine still available?"

"Second Master is in such a bad condition, why do you still want to eat?" Zhao Tianliang was taken aback.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "Taking that one pill can save a whole load of love stories, and fools don't take it."

Zhao Tianliang hurriedly said: "It's gone, there's no more medicine. The second master is too. It's good to talk to the second grandma—following her left and right and can't sleep. Just talk, why use your own life to joke."

"I'm too lazy to talk." What Jia Lian hates the most is saying those love words that stick to his teeth. In his opinion, it is very important to lose ten years of life and spend seven or eight nights less love words. worthwhile thing.

"It's not that you can't say it, how many words you want Second Master can't tell, why bother with yourself?" Zhao Tianliang said, seeing Jia Lian's firm eyes, he said again: "Second Master, wait a minute, I'll send it in a while. "Speaking, he went out, and sure enough, after a cup of tea, he delivered a pill wrapped in gold paper.

Zhao Tianliang handed over warm water, and seeing Jia Lian coughing, he swallowed the medicine, shook his head and frowned, and said, "Why bother? People who love their bodies like that earlier."

After Jia Lian took the medicine, he breathed a sigh of relief and waved Zhao Tianliang to go. When the medicine took effect, he immediately went back to Dakuanyuan.

It was like this for eight consecutive days. On the morning of Jia Lian's departure, Xu Qingheng tidied his clothes and said with a smile: "It's a relief. It's impossible to talk to me now."

"What nonsense are you talking about again?" Jia Lian laughed, feeling relieved, suddenly saw Xu Qingheng hugging his waist, and patted her on the back, "It's not a little girl anymore, always cuddling like this, screaming People saw it."

Xu Qingheng glanced at Wu'er outside the curtain, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say earlier that if you don't have children, you will still be a little girl?"

"It turned out that I was wrong, little girl, I'm leaving." Jia Lian shook Xu Qingheng's arm, then turned and went out.

Xu Qingheng stood by the door, not far away.

When Jia Lian left the second gate, he was surrounded by Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian. When he didn't see Xue Pan, he asked, "Where's Pan'er?"

"He also went out with King Baojun." Feng Ziying said, seeing that Jia Lian was puzzled, she added, "He was asked by the virtuous concubine."

Liu Xianglian sneered and said: "Brother Pan made two contributions before, and the virtuous concubine also said that he is good at fighting, so she took the initiative to ask for his life."

Jia Lian sighed softly, and said to the two of them, "After I leave, I will ask you two good students to take care of Rongguo Mansion."

"I know, you can go at ease." Feng Ziying smiled heartily.

Jia Lian arched his hands at the two of them, and went out with them, went straight to the palace, and joined King Beijing, King Baojun, Yang Shilang, and Xue Pan at the cabinet, and went to meet the emperor together. After practicing, he left the palace again, and went south with a large number of people.

After leaving the capital, Xue Pan couldn't help feeling embarrassed, looking at King Baojun and King Beijing, he had nothing to say, but when he saw Jia Lian leaving the city, he felt a little headache, so he followed him in the same carriage.

"What do you think your mother is doing? It's like I'm eager to do something." Xue Pan complained dissatisfied.

Wrapped in a cloak, Jia Lian crouched in a corner, and said with a smile, "Since they've all come out, why bother to complain?"

Xue Pan suddenly turned his reckless face away, and said solemnly, "Second brother, I'm afraid."

"It's not like you haven't fought before, what are you afraid of?" Jia Lian reassured.

Xue Pan suddenly curled up, and said next to Jia Lian, "Second Brother, I'm really scared. I don't understand anything about what the eldest sister is doing; I can't even guess what Baochai is doing."

"The good wind sent me up to Qingyun by force." Jia Lian sighed, and seeing Xue Pan's seven-foot boy weeping, he put his arms around his shoulders and said soothingly, "The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to cross the boat with the second master. It's useless if the boat is straight." Xue Pan wiped his tears with his sleeve.

"What do you mean?" Jia Lian asked.

Xue Pan shook his head, and said again: "Eldest sister said, she said she looked at it with a woman's mind, and second brother's heart was not on Baochai."

Jia Lian hugged Xue Pan and comforted him gently.

"Second brother, what can you say?" Xue Pan asked again.

"I have nothing to say." Jia Lian said with a smile.

Xue Pan was startled, stood up and said, "No wonder Second Brother's thoughts are really on Fang Niangniang?"

"Who said that?" Jia Lian asked.

Xue Pan muttered, "The elder sister said it."

"Did she figure it out with a woman's mind again?" Jia Lian asked with a smile.

Xue Pan said hesitantly: "She said that she knows who the second brother is best. In the eyes of the second brother, she is worthless, but whenever she chooses a way, the second brother will always stand on the sidelines, waiting to see her laugh."

Jia Lian sighed, "What do you think when your daughter-in-law says that?"

"What does this have to do with me?" Xue Pan said with his eyes wide open.

Jia Lian thought carelessness, and it also has the benefits of carelessness, so he wanted to speak when he heard Zhao Tianliang shout "Second Master" outside the carriage, so he opened the curtain, and saw King Baojun standing in the carriage in the warm spring light. outside.

"A gentleman doesn't stand under the wall, so the county king didn't intend to listen?" Jia Lian asked with a smile.

King Baojun coughed in embarrassment, and looked at Xue Pan inside while riding his horse.

Because of Xue Baochai, Xue Pan intentionally avoided King Baojun, hurriedly got out of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, got on the horse, and went forward to talk to King Beijing.

King Baojun's throat was dry, he lowered his head and hummed vaguely, got off his horse, and got into the carriage in two or three steps. After entering, he sat in the south corner and stared at Jia Lian, and asked for a long time: "You are dragging your sick body to the south Go, is it for my mother?"
