[Red Mansion] His mouth was opened

Jia Huan was stunned for a moment, and thanked the little eunuch.

It is said that the father-in-law in the palace is difficult to serve, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Here we are, Lord Jia, let's go in." The little eunuch stopped in front of the gate and said to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan nodded slightly and walked in.

To Jia Huan's surprise, in the hall, apart from the Holy Master, there were also four brothers Tu Hengding, ministers who were on the left and right, and the national teacher who had met several times.

"My minister, Jia Chengji, has seen Your Majesty, and may your Majesty live forever." Jia Huan knelt down.

"Let's get back on your feet." The Holy Majesty said kindly.

Tu Hengding glanced at Jia Huan, he really didn't understand why his father asked Jia Huan to participate in this matter, this person's status is humble, how could he be able to participate in this matter!

Jia Huan stood aside with his hands down silently. In this palace, no one is higher than his officials, so it is better for him to listen honestly to what happened.

"The breaking of the embankment of the Yellow River in Shanxi is still an old problem in the final analysis, but this old problem must not be tolerated now!" Shengshang said seriously, "Bai Qing's family, what do your Ministry of Industry think so far?"

Bai Yongxiu's back was covered in cold sweat. Although the Yellow River's embankment burst was an incident in Shanxi, in the final analysis, the last embankment was built by the Ministry of Industry. If something happened, the Ministry of Industry must be responsible. , "Your Majesty, I have ordered my subordinates to figure out several methods based on the "Shui Jing Zhu" and the methods of the past dynasties, but they are only too shallow on paper. In the end, I still have to go to Shanxi to see the situation. Only then can a decision be made."

"Yes, Father, Bai Shangshu's words are justified." Tu Heng said firmly, "My son is willing to go to Shanxi with Bai Shangshu in person to solve these disasters for the people of Liming."

"Father, my son is also willing to go." Tu Hengwen refused to let Tu Heng Dingzhuanmei take the lead, so he also took a step forward and said.

Only then did Jia Huan realize that it was because of the Yellow River in Shanxi that he decided to bring up the matter.

Today, I am afraid that we are here to discuss how to deal with the Yellow River's embankment, and it is also a good time for the princes to compete for credit. After all, if they go to Shanxi together, they will not only have a good reputation when the Yellow River's embankment is handled well. , and even more so with credit, their benefits are indispensable when rewarding meritorious deeds.

"Father, my son is not talented, but I am willing to follow the example of eldest brother, seventh brother and tenth brother, and serve my father." Tuhenglu said loudly at the end.

The Holy Majesty showed a smile on his face, "Okay, okay, it's rare for you to have such filial piety, it shows that you are all good."

The faces of all the people below also showed joy.

"However, it is not a day or two to go to Shanxi to control the break of the Yellow River. The boss, the seventh and the tenth, you also have errands on your body, so it is inconvenient after all. Well, the sixteenth is also grown up, this time I will leave the matter to you and Cheng Ji." The Holy Master stroked his beard and said after pondering for a moment.

As soon as he said this, everyone looked different, either jealous, gritted their teeth, or envious.

That's all for the sixteenth prince, but who is Jia Huan, he can go!

Jia Huan was stunned, then quickly knelt down to salute, and kowtowed to express his thanks.

The Holy One said with a smile: "You said you wanted to serve me earlier, but now is the time for you to show it. You have to do your best."

What he said surprised everyone even more, even to several princes, His Majesty had never been so kind.

Why is he so kind to Jia Huan?

Regardless of what everyone thinks, this matter has also been finalized.

After leaving the gate of the temple, Tu Hengding and the others naturally walked away. They had to put on some pretense in front of the saint, but when they left the gate of the palace, their faces were all elongated.

Tu Henglu and Jia Huan walked up to the study one after the other.

"Chengji," Tu Henglu said, "After you go back today, you have to make good preparations."

Going to Shanxi to control the break of the Yellow River's embankment is certainly a good opportunity to make meritorious service, but if you don't have the ability, it's useless to go.

Jia Huan was awakened by Lu Lu's kindness, "Master Sixteen, I understand."

Tu Henglu took a deep look at him, lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid it's not going to be peaceful this time, so you should bring more things for self-defense."

After he finished speaking, he went to the study.

Jia Huan was startled, his eyes revealed a gloomy and unpredictable expression. It seems that he has to take some risks this time.

---------

"Going to Shanxi?" As soon as the master left, he went to the study and started to shout.

"How can he go to Shanxi with the Sixteenth Prince?!" Someone said indignantly, in terms of family background, Jia Huan is the lowest among them here, and in terms of ability, he can't rank first in riding and shooting and literary talent here. It happened that he was ordered by the Holy Spirit to go to Shanxi!

With a livid face, Chen Guqing said sarcastically: "He has a good eloquence, and his smooth words have won His Majesty's favor."

"It must be so." The others were almost bleeding with jealousy, and echoed again and again.

The voices of these people were not deliberately controlled at all, so everyone in the study room could hear them clearly.

For some reason, Jia Baoyu felt a little joy in his heart. He looked at Jia Huan, but saw that he seemed to have heard nothing, packing up his things like no one else was there.

The joy in Jia Baoyu's heart disappeared immediately, he pursed his lips, feeling uncomfortable in every possible way.

Chen Guqing and the others said a lot of sour words, but Jia Huan never responded.

The more people talked, the more embarrassed they felt. If Jia Huan retorted, they would naturally have thousands of words to wait for him, waiting to make Jia Huan lose face, but he kept silent, making them look like clowns. .

After Jia Huan packed up his things, he glanced at everyone and left directly. Wouldn't it be a waste of his time to talk nonsense with these people?

His look made everyone feel more embarrassed than what he said.

Chen Guqing was ashamed and angry, her face flushed red.

"Brother Chengji, stay, stay." Gu Chuzhi's voice suddenly came from behind.

Jia Huan stood still, seeing that it was Gu Chuzhi, he couldn't help feeling helpless.

"Brother Chengji, why are you walking so fast?" Gu Chuzhi put Jia Huan's shoulders on his shoulders and said affectionately, "Just now I wanted to scold that guy Chen Guqing for you, so you ran away."

Jia Huan couldn't help but smile, Gu Chuzhi is actually a very nice person, warm-hearted and kind-hearted, "Aren't I in a hurry to go home and talk to my mother about this?"

Gu Chuzhi nodded. He knew about Jia Huan's situation. He poked Jia Huan in the abdomen, "Brother Chengji, you haven't told me the last time. How did you stop that thief? Seriously, Have you really never practiced your skills? That thief's kung fu is not ordinary. Seven or eight yamen servants failed to catch him. You can catch him, which shows that your skills are really extraordinary. Tell me quickly and honestly. Definitely don't tell anyone else."

Jia Huan raised his forehead. Unlike other people who were sure that he was lucky, Gu Chuzhi's brain circuit was not in the same world as others. He was sure that Jia Huan must have a good skill. It made him believe three points, and this time the thief was caught, it made him completely believe that Jia Huan was indeed hiding something deep.

"..." Jia Huan was silent for a moment, "Since you have discovered it, I have no choice but to admit it, yes, I do have very good skills."

"That's true!" Gu Chuzhi clapped his palms and laughed, "Lao Xu and Lao Zhang still don't believe it, but with your words this time, I can prove it to them."

After he finished speaking, he patted Jia Huan on the shoulder heartily, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone except Lao Xu and Lao Zhang."

Jia Huan: "..."

No, he just said that casually, does Gu Chuzhi really believe it? !

Gu Chuzhi patted Jia Huan's shoulder again, with a look of "Don't worry, I will never talk nonsense", and then ran away under Jia Huan's gaze.

Look at that direction, it is clearly going to the study.

The corner of Jia Huan's mouth twitched. He finally realized what it means to be "a man can live on, a sow can climb a tree".

He had a feeling that within a long time, everyone in the capital would know that Jia Huan was a master of martial arts!

After silently covering his face for a while, Jia Huan raised his head. He was going to Shanxi in a few days anyway, so he just pretended not to know.

"Going to Shanxi?" Aunt Zhao was holding the soles of her shoes. When she heard this, she immediately stopped the movement of her hands, "What are you going to Shanxi for?"

Jia Huan knows that the most taboo thing for people in this era is to travel far away. Unless it is a last resort, they will not leave home when they wait for leisure. This is not only a dependence psychology, but also for many reasons. These days, there are robbers and thieves everywhere. People cut trails, but there are a few thieves at least on the top of a mountain. Although Shanxi is not far away, there are many dangers on the road.

What's more, Jia Huan has been followed by some inexplicable people recently, which is a bit more dangerous than others.

"Mother, this is a good thing that others can't even hope for." Jia Huan said in a persuasive way: "You think, His Majesty ordered me to go to Shanxi with His Highness Sixteen and several adults. When we arrived in Shanxi, there were also local officials and yamen servants, and the journey was very peaceful."

Aunt Zhao didn't know, but since Jia Huan was born, she has never been far away from her. This time, she will go to Shanxi, where the people are in chaos, how can she feel relieved? Down!

"That's fine, just go." Aunt Zhao gritted her teeth and said ruthlessly, "It's just that you must not wander around on this journey. If you have time, write back. Don't worry your mother."

Jia Huan responded one by one, "Mother, don't worry, the baby will return safely."

Aunt Zhao nodded, but she sighed deeply in her heart. Why didn't she hope that Jia Huan could stay in the capital obediently? Desperate, it's not for her and Tanchun, besides, a good man has ambitions everywhere, so how can she not let him go?

Although she thought so, Aunt Zhao couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.

These days, I have been asking for peace talismans everywhere in the temples in the capital. Before leaving, I almost saved seventeen or eight peace talismans.

Jia Huan watched Aunt Zhao stuffing the peace talisman into his bag, and was deeply touched.

"These are all very effective, my mother heard from others. You have to take these safety symbols with you when you go this time. When the time comes, you will be blessed by gods and Buddhas." Aunt Zhao said in a broken voice.

Jia Huan didn't feel bothered, but felt that Aunt Zhao's every word was ironed into his heart, and he listened obediently while saying hello.

Aunt Zhao looked at her, her eyes were hot, and tears fell down, "It's all mother's fault, but every mother has some skills, so she won't make you a bastard."

I would rather be a wife of a poor family than a concubine of a noble family.

Others looked at Aunt Zhao and felt that she was a slave turned into a concubine, and she was very beautiful, but who knew that this concubine was pitiful, and her name was not right, and the child she gave birth could not shout out in the open. Mother, the wife hated these bastards even more, if not, why would Jia Huan fight so hard, even not caring about his own life.

Jia Huan was silent, he also knew Aunt Zhao's background, she was bestowed on Jia Zheng by the old lady, for Aunt, it was not what she wanted, at first, his grandfather wanted to find a good family for her, but he didn't expect Such a mess will happen.Others said it was Aunt Zhao's luck. Grandpa had been in Rongguo Mansion for many years, but he saw it clearly. Any aunt would have a good end. The so-called blessing is just a joke!

"Mother, I just want to ask you, what is your attitude towards the master?" Jia Huan straightened his expression and asked Aunt Zhao solemnly.

Aunt Zhao was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "It's fine, what are you asking?"

"Don't worry about it, I just ask you, if one day you can leave the Rongguo Mansion and the master, would you be willing?" Jia Huan looked at Aunt Zhao fixedly.

Aunt Zhao's heart skipped a beat, "Is there anything you don't want, it's just your sister..."

"Third sisters and the others, I will think of a way. These days, I go to Shanxi, and my mother is at home. If there is anything, let uncle handle it. If someone comes to you, you don't know it. The people below don't know." Be obedient, just kick it out. You are the only one left in this house, you have to show your style." Jia Huan warned.

Aunt Zhao said hello one by one.

After all, Jia Huan was not at ease, and before leaving, he asked Zhao Guoji a few more words, and then got on the carriage with confidence.

Rongguofu.

Inside Rongxi Hall, Mother Jia closed her eyes slightly, leaning against the pillow half asleep and half awake.

Outside, Yuanyang gently lifted the curtain and walked in.

Mother Jia slowly opened her eyes, and Yuanyang walked to her side, saying something in a low voice.

A look of displeasure flashed across Jia Mu's eyes, and she murmured: "It's fine to leave, this mansion will be at peace."

Even though she said that, Mother Jia was a little worried.

She also heard a little bit about the incident of the Yellow River bursting in Shanxi. They all said that it was very chaotic, with rioters everywhere, and occupying mountains as kings was everywhere. In this way, he has made great contributions?

Jia Huan went this time, if he is really allowed to...

When Jia's mother thought of this, her heart felt like a knife was being cut. She quickly comforted herself that there was so much chaos in Shanxi, Jia Huan might come back with her life!Thinking about this is all to scare myself.

Thinking of this, Jia's mother was a little relieved.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Wang thought the same way.

She knelt in front of the Buddhist hall, with a sincere expression, and after silently chanting for a while, Caixia helped her up.

"Ma'am, Ma Daopo is here." Yu Chuan came in from the outside and reported.

Madam Wang's eyes lit up immediately, "Let her in."

Since the last time they teamed up to trick Jia Huan, Mrs. Wang and Ma Daopo can be said to be in cahoots.

Ma Daopo doesn't even talk to Aunt Zhao now, after all, Mrs. Wang gave much more money than Aunt Zhao.

"My wife's face is getting more and more rosy, so it's really right to drive that villain away." As soon as she entered the room, Ma Daopo hurriedly opened her mouth to please Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang really smiled a little, and politely called Ma Daopo to sit down and drink tea.

In front of Mrs. Wang, Ma Daopo didn't dare to make a fuss, just sat down and drank some tea, "Ma'am, why did you ask me to come this time?"

Mrs. Wang made a look at the maids, motioned them to go down, and then smiled lightly: "Ma Daopo, there is a saying that one thing does not bother two masters. What you did last time was really good. This time, I still need you." Do me another favor."

Upon hearing this, Ma Daopo's eyes immediately flashed a greedy look.

This help is not for nothing, once you help, at least you can earn a thousand taels of silver.

"Look at what you said, you are a noble person, if you have anything to do, just ask, I will definitely help you." Ma Daopo said earnestly.

Mrs. Wang smiled, "What you said is true, but you still have to give what is due. Here is the 300 taels of silver note. You should take it first."

She said, and handed the bank note in the direction of Ma Daopo.

When Ma Daopo saw Qian, she was closer than seeing her parents. At this time, let alone ask her to do things, even if she asked her to kill, she would not hesitate.

Stuffing the silver into her bosom, Ma Daopo smiled wrinkled all over her face, "Madam is so polite, I really don't know what to do. If Madam has anything to do, just tell me."

Mrs. Wang didn't care about the little money at all, she was willing to spend money to get rid of Jia Huan, and asked her to take out her own money, "I don't need you to do too much, that villain I'm going to Shanxi these days, I was thinking, Shanxi is in chaos now, if something goes wrong and my life is ruined, is it possible?"

Ma Daopo didn't know what Mrs. Wang meant, she wanted Jia Huan's life!

After thinking about it, Ma Daopo showed a hesitant look on purpose.

Mrs. Wang smiled, and took out another bank note, "This money is for buying some new clothes for you. Seeing that winter is coming, buying some warm clothes will help you survive the winter."

Ma Daopo repeatedly said that she could earn 500 taels just by doing it, which is more profitable than any other business.

After sending Ma Daopo away, the corners of Mrs. Wang's mouth curled up, revealing a ferocious smile.

If you want to make meritorious service, you don't want to see if you have that life!

Shanxi is the place where your Jia Huan died!
