The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

Let's say that Lin Ruhai and Shang Duo are in the same seat.

Shang Duo raised his glass to signal him, and asked, "What do you think of the eldest son of Duke Cheng'en's mansion?"

Lin Ruhai was not familiar with Xie Yuchu, but he had always heard that the eldest son of his family was praised by the two saints, so he smiled and said: "After being both generals, the children and grandchildren of the Rongguo Mansion only know how to sit and enjoy the ointment, and they are afraid of bowing and bowing." I can't pull it off either."

"Young Master Xie is completely different. So in my opinion, this son is very good, and there will be successors in Duke Cheng'en's mansion. If there is a war in the future, there may not be a day when he will be sealed off as a wolf."

As he spoke, he was also a little worried about the situation in the court: the land of southern Fujian has never been peaceful, and bandits and bandits have been rampant in the sea area recently. Zhou Qiong, the general manager of Zhenhai, has already submitted two papers after the year, applying for military supplies and relief supplies to fight the chaos in the sea area.

Now that Shang Chi stayed in the household department, he was mainly busy with this matter.

Although southern Fujian is quite far from central Beijing, if the South China Sea is in chaos, it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, even though the king of Nan'an County had been stationed in southern Fujian, the Emperor Taishang still ordered the emperor to send Zhen Yingjia to support him, and also gave him the official post of General of Guangdong.

As the prime minister and the prime minister, Shang Duo of course knew about this, because Zhen Yingjia was in charge of the military again, and several vases in the imperial study died innocently.

At this time, when he heard Lin Ruhai Fenglang Juxu's words, he knew that he was worried about swords and wars.

So he said: "For the time being, it's just some ringworm and scabies, so don't worry. As long as the military supplies are in place, there is no reason why a serious army can't fight against the rogues."

Lin Ruhai also sneered: "Exactly, this is not something we can worry about - civil servants and military generals, we will be dedicated to our duties, and we will surely see the clear sky in the universe, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment."

Then he looked at the teenagers in the field, not only Xie Ling, but also Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and others, all of them were young generals who were heroic.

If there are pillars of the state, there will be some rebellious officials and thieves, so there is no need to be afraid.

Seeing the admiration in Lin Ruhai's eyes, Shang Duo drank the wine and said triumphantly: "So, the son-in-law I have chosen will definitely not be bad."

Glancing at Lin Ruhai, he added: "Of course, he must still be inferior to your son-in-law. There is nothing better than your son-in-law in Beijing."

Lin Ruhai: ...

Shang Duo, who praised his son and son-in-law, turned his head and glanced at the second prince.

It happened that the second prince also looked over: he saw how close Bao Ninghou and Lin Ruhai were, so he began to grit his teeth again.After all, the concubine that their mother and son began to look at was Lin's daughter.

Shang Duo toasted him, showing a bright smile.

The rules of shooting and hunting are also simple, it is just an eagle and a lackey, occupying an area and chasing animals.

The beasts raised in the other garden are very well-behaved and soft, even the Fourth Prince shot a deer with the help of his subordinates.

However, when his subordinates brought the prey over, he suddenly saw the blood dripping, his face turned pale on the spot, his figure wobbled, and he almost fell, but fortunately, the people behind helped him quickly.

Shang Chanchan met in the tent: "I'm afraid the Fourth Highness is fainting from blood."

However, the Fourth Prince's slight gaffe was quickly covered by the cheers on the field. It turned out that the First Prince had shot a deer.

In the Central Plains, hitting the deer is a good sign.

The emperor really came out to praise, and even asked the eunuch to take down the jade pendant he was carrying with him to reward the eldest prince.

Shang Chanchan saw the second prince's face turned livid: I would rather the eldest prince shoot him with an arrow than see his elder brother shoot a deer.

The second prince only regrets that he doesn't have a good mother's family: Xie Yuchu is in charge of all the defense work in this shooting competition, and if the eldest prince can shoot a deer, I'm afraid he, a good uncle, has already arranged for him!

The fourth prince was weak and pale and was supported down.

Except for the fifth prince, the elder princes had mediocre marksmanship skills, but within half an hour, they left the field and went to serve the two saints in their tents.

The only ones left on the field were the young man from the aristocratic family and his attendants.The smell of fire/powder immediately became stronger.

Just now everyone was hindered by the prince's presence, and several His Royal Highnesses were in order.For example, the fifth prince naturally couldn't shoot the deer before the eldest prince—he had the ability to do so, and he wouldn't do it.So it is inevitable to be tied up.

At this time, the princes all left the field, and the rest of the people could let go of their hands and feet for a real competition.

The fifth prince didn't want to end, but the eldest prince took him to watch the fainting fourth prince together - brothers are more important than the competition.

Xiao Rang could only get off the horse with infinite regret, and he did not forget to exchange his knife for Xie Ling, and repeatedly asked: "Ah Ling, we must let our Chiqi team win."

Before the third prince left the court, he looked at Qin Mao, the son of Dongping County Prince's Mansion, with deep meaning.

Due to the merits of their ancestors, the Beijing Prince's House still inherits the title of the prince after four generations, but the other three prince's houses do not have such abilities.

According to the demotion, when it is Qin Mao's turn to be the title of Dongping County Prince's Mansion, he will be about the same as Jia She, that is, a first-class general.

Unless they can be the mother's family of the prince, they can be like Baoninghou's mansion and not surrender to the prince, so they naturally support the third prince with all their strength.

Dongping County Prince's Mansion has always been invisible in Beijing, and can do nothing, no more than Nan'an Prince's Mansion holds military power and is stationed in southern Fujian.

But Qin Mao is different from his grandfather and father in that he is an ambitious young man.

He has just turned seventeen, and he has always thought that he is a famous general, especially in riding and shooting.

Therefore, Xie Ling has always been disdainful: he feels that the reason why he was praised by the two sages is simply because he studied with the fifth prince and often walked around in the palace.

In terms of real ability, I am better than him!

In other words, he felt that he was very capable, but he was underappreciated, only missing a chance to get ahead.

This shoot is that opportunity.

So he galloped up to Xie Ling and raised his eyebrows: "Young Master Xie, I heard that you are also good at riding and shooting, so why don't we two have a competition today."

Xie Ling's brows and eyes were as cold as the cold light on a steel knife: Dongping County Prince's Mansion plotted against his eldest brother, he would not have any good looks towards Qin Mao.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Qin Mao laughed loudly and said, "It's hard to live up to the so-called grand name. I can't compare with Mr. Xie's background, so I can only compare my skills with you."

Shooting and hunting is a competition, so the two saints saw that Qin Mao seemed to be provocative, not only didn't think it was disobedient, but valued such a fighting spirit.

The Supreme Emperor even clapped his hands and said: "If that's the case, let's compare them!" Knowing that the animals in Bieyuan are boring, he ordered people to put hundreds of wild animals specially captured from Iron Net Mountain into the field.

The two eunuchs hurried down to pass on the message.

Seeing the approval of the old sage, Qin Mao said with a stern face: "In the past, I only heard about Mr. Xie's great reputation. However, who is the real horse and who is not worthy of the name, will finally see the real chapter on the field." .”

After speaking, he laughed loudly, and galloped back to the front of his team.

Xie Ling didn't answer him a word from the beginning to the end.He just counted the remaining arrows in the quiver with his sideways face: Well, it seems that there are not enough arrows in the quiver.

Shang Duo drank another glass at the banquet, and silently made a note to the Dongping County Prince's Mansion: Not to mention plotting against my son's marriage, but also bullying my future son-in-law.

However, seeing that Xie Ling just said nothing, Shang Duo thought again: No wonder even his biological parents thought he could not speak since he was a child, so he is really so reticent.

People are running to the front, and they still don't say a word!If my daughter were here, she would surely make Qin Mao speechless.

At this time, Shang Chanchan who was in the tent had just heard the whole story from the little eunuch.

After all, they are far away, and the dialogue in the field can only be rebroadcasted by second-hand, so I called two young eunuchs to take turns to listen and then come back to broadcast live.

When Shang Chanchan heard Qin Mao's words, her eyes widened immediately.

"It's such a big tone, saying that it's a real thousand-mile horse, and a poor horse that doesn't deserve the name, isn't it implying brother Xie's family."

"The strange Taoist said that the louder the carriage, the emptier it is, and the more full the bottle is, the more it rattles around here!"

"In the past, the sage praised Brother Xie's family. Isn't his remark a joke that the sage would pay for the pearls? I missed him, a rare and talented general in a hundred years, and even regarded the poor horse as a thousand-mile horse."

Princess Lirong rested her chin and said, "I've never seen such a crazy person. Since he doesn't like Xie Ling, I want to see his superb archery skills."

Shang Chanchan still hated Qin Mao's connotation that Xie Ling was a nasty horse, so she snorted coldly: "I think he is just arrogant - if brother Xie's brother is a thousand li horse, his surname Qin is not even worthy of a nasty horse, he is simply a big head donkey."

Fortunately, even though she was annoyed, she still remembered to lower her voice so that only a few of them could hear it.

Sure enough, when the girls heard this, they couldn't help laughing out loud, and Princess Lirong even laughed and fell on the sheepskin mattress on the spot.

The main reason is that Qin Mao followed the third prince, who belonged to the blue flag, so the armor on his body was also blue, so it fit the occasion.

Daiyu couldn't help pinching Shang Chanchan's chin: "Don't talk about it yet, it would be nice for people to hear."

Sure enough, in the past two years, although Shang Chanchan seemed to be more cautious, she still protected her shortcomings exactly the same as before.

Seeing her defending Xie Ling like this, Princess Lirong was also overjoyed: "Seriously, I should let you play like a man, so that Xie Ling won't be so clumsy and speechless."

Shang Chanchan drank a cup of tea and suppressed the fire: "Forget it, I know that Xie's brother is a person who can fight without talking, just watch the field!"

Above the paddock, horseshoes raised dust.

After half an hour, Qin Mao's face turned blue.

The back mountain is not as vast as the iron net mountain, so each team has only four or five aristocratic children to shoot, and the others only chase the prey.

However, Xie Ling was not with his red flag team, but rode into the encirclement of the blue flag alone, like a little red in a green bush.

At first the people did not understand what he was going to do.Thinking that he was going to hit someone, he quickly surrounded Qin Mao.

It was later discovered that Xie Ling didn't come to beat people, he came to rob!

No matter which prey Qin Mao was looking for, Xie Ling would come first and grab his prey.

Xie Ling was originally good at riding and archery, and he was extraordinarily diligent these days.

At this time, by himself, he walked in and out of the opponent's encirclement as if no one was there, and even hit the prey Qin Mao was looking for with every shot.

Qin Mao raised his bow thirteen times, each time before he could aim, he found that the prey had already fallen to the ground.

Tuliu himself remained in an awkward bow-drawing posture, facing the dead prey.

Once or twice, fortunately it was an accident, but thirteen times in a row, anyone can see that Xie Ling is more than a step ahead of him in terms of shooting skills, and he is completely suppressing him.

Reminiscent of Qin Mao's talk about a thousand-mile horse and a poor horse just now, everyone in the audience couldn't help laughing.

Of course, the Third Prince and King Dongping couldn't laugh.

He even imagined leaving the stage due to fainting like the fourth prince.

The Supreme Emperor laughed in his tent and said, "One body can break two arcs, but a captive riding a thousand weights seems like nothing. You are really a good boy! Xie Yuce, you have taught your son very well."

No more civil servants like Shang Duo and Lin Ruhai can sit down and drink and watch the competition.

General Xie, who is in charge of the security work of the royal family this time, is working harder. He is standing in the imperial tent with a sword, and he is the last guard in person.

At this time, he quickly bowed and thanked the Supreme Emperor for his praise.

At this time, the jokes of everyone on the field were like countless feathered arrows, piercing Qin Mao almost to the point of losing his mind.

He couldn't bear it anymore, retracted his bow and shouted sharply: "Xie Ling, what do you mean!"

Xie Ling ignored him at all, but his brows were cold and stern, like a sharp knife.

Seeing that Qin Mao was no longer aiming at his prey, he put down his bow and arrow.Tell him with actions: My intention is to hit you in the face.

The fifth prince had already finished condolences to his weak fourth brother, so he jumped anxiously when he saw this.

He shouted loudly: "A Ling, it's alright, everyone can see that he is a scumbag, so don't waste time with him! If you don't return to our Chiqi team, we will lose to big brother!"

Wei Ruolan and Feng Ziying were all in the first prince's team. Although it was a joy to watch Xie Ling slap Qin Mao in the face at this time, he did not forget his own hunting.

The two cooperated seamlessly, and had already saved dozens of prey.

However, the Chiqi team was so busy watching the captain chasing and beating others, that they didn't even drive away a few prey.

Only then did Xie Ling turn his horse's head around and returned to his own red flag team.

Qin Mao's subordinates didn't dare to stop him, they gave way one after another, the whole Qingqi team looked extremely lonely and depressed.

And Qin Mao, who was stamped "Na Ma" by the fifth prince, could only sit on the horse with a pale face.

Qin Mao's complexion is so ugly that all the girls can see through the transparent paper.

Shang Chanchan was very happy, raised her glass and touched Princess Lirong, and said unkindly to Qin Mao: "Look at this green face, the green face just matches his green hat."

Since Qin Mao belonged to the cyan flag, he naturally wore not only the cyan armor, but also the helmet and hat of the same color.

Now his face is ashen again, and his whole body is truly green.

Faced with this scene, Princess Lirong laughed again.

And Shang Duo off the court was also very satisfied: he really is the son-in-law of their merchant.Although his articulateness is a bit short, fortunately, his mobility can make up for it.

Then he said to Lin Ruhai: "This boy from the Qin family is actually not bad at riding and shooting. He probably wants to make a big splash in this hunt. Haha, this can be regarded as a blockbuster to some extent."

At least the Taishanghuang and the emperor must have been deeply impressed by him: Oh, that kid with high eyesight and low hands.

Therefore, people can speak harshly, but it is best to be 100% sure of doing it, otherwise they will lose double face.

It is human nature to gloat and sympathize with the weak.

If today, Qin Mao was only inferior in skills, but Xie Ling was so shameless and focused on snatching his prey, then someone would sympathize with Qin Mao.

But Qin Mao himself first jumped out to tease others, and then was chased and beaten, and everyone could only gloat.

As the saying goes, if you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work!

Who can blame him for rushing to look for shame.

Lin Ruhai praised Xie Ling even more, and said: "Young Master Xie is not quick to talk, it is because of General Xie Yuan Ting Yuezhi's dignified and steady temperament. Just like Chi'er, even though he grew up with you, it is rare He is also a gentle and reliable kid."

Shang Duo said directly: "I know what you mean, anyway, I'm not prudent."

Lin Ruhai lowered his head and picked up the cup, assuming that he acquiesced.

Shang Duo squinted his eyes, and looked at the second prince who was holding a soup in front of the Supreme Emperor and was extremely flattering.

With a sneer in his mouth, he said, "It doesn't matter if you think I'm not stable, even if the whole world thinks I'm not stable, it doesn't matter. As long as the sage believes in me, it's enough for me to be reliable."

The author has something to say: After 87 chapters, Xie Ling, as the male protagonist, finally showed his strength positively.

Really smell sad, listen to tears.

Shang Chanchan: Get on the stage in a hurry, and fight for him.
