Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

His Highness King Qing and Miss Guo? !

Rong Youtang was dumbfounded, he even forgot to breathe, his thoughts were chaotic: talented and beautiful?Right?A match made in heaven?Kiss more?

I am a vulgar businessman full of copper stink, and I have concealed my true identity.

Shock, anger, apprehension, helplessness, despondency... Countless emotions surged in an instant, completely submerging Rong Youtang, making him lose his ability to react, his eyes could not be opened wider, and he stared blankly at King Qing.

Zhao Zeyong immediately looked at Rong Youtang after his cousin reminded him. He quickly went over, pushed him down, and said calmly, "Why are you panicking? The sky is falling?"

"It's not collapsed. Why should I panic?" Rong Youtang smiled very ugly, and forced out a good word: "Congratulate Your Highness first, and I must ask for a glass of wedding wine then."

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhao Zeyong said solemnly: "I have always regarded my cousin as a younger sister like Yilin, and there is no love between men and women. Grandmother is wise and understanding, and understands righteousness. She will definitely understand, so there is no need to worry."

But after all, she is your grandmother, the widow of the heroic hero Lao Ding Beihou, and the respected wife of Emperor Ming.The royal family treats him with extra courtesy, and every year when he celebrates his birthday, there are loads of birthday presents from the palace, ranging from His Majesty, Empress, to all the relatives of the emperor.

Rong Youtang thought very clearly, his rationality made him feel cold.

Guo Da, who was immersed in the grief of the sudden death of his sweetheart, came back to his senses at this moment. His chin was covered with black and blue stubble. with you?"

Rong Youtang sat upright, put his hands on his knees, squeezed his robe tightly, shook his head and said, "No. Mr. Guo, please mourn and take care of yourself."

Guo Da smiled miserably, and said with a dazed expression: "If you don't mourn, you won't be able to come back. When I went to the temple fair last month, I bought her a jade wind chime made of gourds, and she gave her a sword tassel made by herself. ...Last night, someone from the Shan family came suddenly. I climbed over the wall and entered Prince Qing's mansion to ask for help. My cousin disturbed His Royal Highness Rui Wang all night, and asked the imperial doctor who took care of him to help. But before the imperial doctor and I arrived at the Shan's house, she went gone."

The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life, the first four are: birth, old age, sickness, and death.

Rong Youtang was solemn and dignified, silently pushed the hot tea to Guo Da's hand.

A man does not flick his tears easily.At this time, Guo Da's eyes were red and swollen, tears were shining, and he said tremblingly: "I went to see her for the last time. She was very thin, holding a gourd and wind chime in her hand. The maid said that she kept calling 'Second Brother' when she was dying."

Guo Da couldn't continue, his throat was choked, and he felt great grief. He stood up suddenly, kicked over the coffee table chair angrily, and shouted: "The Shan family is confused! Confused! Why didn't you ask for help earlier? The ancestors praised her parents for their prudence. Right, now it seems that she is too prudent! My daughter is so sick that she only has one breath left to say, is it useful?! Stupid and absurd! I really want to beat them up, I, I want to beat them up, to give Yoyo a break , They are too confused, they should be beaten, let alone be killed!"

At the end of Guo Da's speech, he was a little incoherent. With all his strength, he punched and kicked the overturned tables and chairs, his knuckles were torn and bled, and the sharp wooden thorns flew away, leaving a few bloody gashes on his cheeks. Feeling the pain, the offensive is swift and violent.

"Xiao Er! Shut up." Zhao Zeyong stepped forward to grab him, twisted his self-harming cousin's hands behind his back, and stabilized himself with all his strength.

"Mr. Guo, calm down!" Rong Youtang hurriedly kicked away the broken tables and chairs, he guessed that Guo Da might have regarded Mu Mu as a single parent.

"Although I haven't asked for an order yet, my Guo family will do what I say. What is there to worry about in his Shan family? Are you afraid that I will find out about my daughter's condition and replace her?! It's so stupid that I want to be with them. Just as despicable and nasty!" Guo Da yelled, struggling with all his might.

Despicable?Mr. Guo was really sad and angry.

Rong Youtang was extremely sympathetic, but there was nothing he could do to help him, so he could only rush to get the medicine box to stop the bleeding of the emotionally agitated person, and it would be too bad to leave scars in disfigurement.

"Quiet! Sit down!" Zhao Zeyong shouted angrily.

Guo Da panted violently, and after venting frantically, he suddenly fell silent, but his eyes were still full of resentment, dissatisfaction and pain.

"Mr. Guo, come, let's take care of your face." Rong Youtang quickly healed a few scratches on Guo Da's cheek: Fortunately!The wound is not deep, so don't lose your appearance, after all, it is your face, which affects your appearance very much.

Zhao Zeyong frowned and stood still, worried: "I will ask Xiao Jiu's doctor to show you later, and apply the scar removal ointment for a while."

Guo Da didn't respond, remained motionless, full of plans for himself.

"Xiao Er, don't be foolish. After the diagnosis of the two imperial doctors, Miss Shan died of illness, there is no doubt about it. She is dead, and if she knows, she definitely does not want you to take revenge on Dan's parents!" Zhao Zeyong sternly exhort.

Guo Da was still silent, and after a long while, he informed softly: "Cousin, the eldest princess sent someone to Shan's house."

That female evil star?She sent people to Shan's house, there must be no good words or good things.Rong Youtang subconsciously looked at King Qing with concern: Poor Your Highness, you have such a younger sister!

"What?" Zhao Zeyong was stunned, and then asked: "When did it happen? What did Yilin do?"

Guo Daxian said seriously: "Cousin, I have always separated you: you and Xiaojiu are my cousins, and the eldest princess is an outsider." After a pause, he tried his best to restrain his anger and said: "Her confidant maid quietly told me Des: In the name of visiting a sick person at the beginning of the month, the eldest princess sent a maid to Shan's house, and in addition to the gift box, she secretly gave a jade pendant carved into a sparrow." That's all for now.

Is the eldest princess satirizing the single girl as a sparrow climbing high branches?

A lady who is about to marry is already preoccupied, and Miss Shan was still ill at that time, so she must have been greatly affected.Rong Youtang really had nothing to say to the eldest princess.

"It's simply arrogant and vulgar!" Zhao Zeyong scolded angrily, his face changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "Your nature cannot be changed. The emperor is kind and loving, and tolerates every time, but she doesn't know how to repent! This king has long wanted to send her back to the palace. The palace is strictly forbidden, so it can be more or less restrained, but the rat-"

Throwing rats.Rong Youtang silently completed, thinking: It seems His Highness is really angry.

Zhao Zeyong almost stopped, took a deep breath, and said helplessly: "But the fourth brother is calm and sensible by nature, kind-hearted and generous, and his health has just recovered. If you propose to send Yilin back to the palace, she will definitely cry and make a fuss. This king is not afraid of her making trouble, but only worried that she will disturb my fourth brother and cause him to get sick. Alas!" Zhao Zeyong sighed with a rare headache.

"Cousin, I know your difficulties very well. His Royal Highness King Rui is an easy-going person. I don't have any objections to him. Let him stay with the eldest princess and return to the palace on his own initiative. Don't let the world misunderstand that cousin chases younger brother away." If my sister leaves, that reputation will be too bad!" Guo Da reminded earnestly: "However, the Eldest Princess is now living in Prince Qing's Mansion, and the trouble she caused can only be yours to clean up the mess."

Zhao Zeyong nodded, closed his eyes hard, and said, "It's a family."

Rong Youtang couldn't help asking: "Who did the eldest princess send to the Shan's house? Prince Qing's mansion has strict access control, and they have lived in the deep palace for a long time, how did they find their way?"

Guo Da smiled wryly again, gritted his teeth and said, "The eldest princess sent a maid, in the name of buying rouge, water and rice, to go to the street with her sister's maid, to cooperate inside and outside."

"Cousin, does she know?" Zhao Zeyong asked in a deep voice.

Guo Da said frankly: "She said she didn't know, I guess it should be informed and made an appointment in advance - but she has absolutely no intention of murder! Most of them were entrusted by the eldest princess, I can guarantee this."

Zhao Zeyong pondered for a long while, then carefully said: "Xiaoer, although Yilin is arrogant and domineering, but... Anyway, this king will investigate thoroughly and give you an answer."

"Thank you cousin, you have been tired of your hard work." Guo Da sighed, and at the same time said: "I have formally admonished Huixin, and wait and see the effect. If it is still not right, I will bluntly report to my parents for discipline."

Rong Youtang thought for a while, and then reminded: "Your Highness, when I passed by the garden just now, I heard the eldest princess and the others chatting, and it seems that they are very interested in Lanxi in the southern suburb."

Zhao Zeyong frowned: "What does she want to do?"

"Oh, Huixin also pestered me to ask for a long time, saying that the scenery of Lanxi is beautiful, and the sixteen festivals to the God of Flowers are very lively, and she wants to see it." Guo Da said depressedly, "But I don't have the mood to enjoy flowers now! "

"Extraordinarily lively?" Zhao Zeyong frowned disapprovingly, and vetoed it flatly: "There are too many people in disorder, fearing accidents, so don't worry about it."

The eldest princess wants to ask Mr. Guo, and Miss Guo wants to travel with you.That's why they were so close together, wandering around the garden every day, the purpose couldn't be more obvious.Lanxi Flower Fair is actually a holy place for men and women who love each other or have a special liking. The purpose is not to enjoy flowers and sacrifice to the god of flowers, but to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life. Apart from birth, old age, sickness and death, the last four are: love and parting, long-term resentment, not being able to ask, and not being able to let go.

Zhao Zeyong was keenly aware of the other party's gaze, then turned his head and asked gently: "You also want to go to Lanxi to enjoy the flowers? March [-]th, I don't know if you are free or not."

Rong Youtang smiled as if nothing had happened: "No, spring outing is better than staying at home and sleeping late." What's the point of admiring flowers alone?

-

A wisp of the fragrant soul dissipates with the wind, who can relieve the worries?

Guo Da was bearded and unshaven, and he was doing his best to run around the northern camp, but he became reticent, and he didn't go back to the city at night, just resting in the tent indiscriminately.

The soldiers gradually heard: General Guo's sweetheart died of illness.

Everyone was very sympathetic and tried every means to comfort and persuade.King Qing was very worried about his distraught cousin, fearing that he would get into trouble with the Shan family, so he specially sent several personal guards to accompany him.

In the warehouse of the kitchen, Rong Youtang was facing the open account book, dialing the abacus with his left hand, and scribbling with a pen with his right hand.

While Fang Tong measured the salt with a liter cylinder, he complained angrily:

"Grandma! In my opinion, they should all go back to prison!"

Fang Tong got to know Rong Youtang well, so he dared to complain and complain a few words: "Brother Rong, tell me, His Majesty is so merciful that he gave a chance to work hard to pay off his sentence. They are all criminals, don't they? Shouldn't we keep a low profile? We ordinary people are diligent and conscientious as civilian husbands, and they dare to pick and choose what to eat in the kitchen? Hey, what's the reason for that!"

"It is clearly stipulated in the military that food must not be damaged and discarded, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with. You tell everyone to watch out, and if you find anyone who dares to vent their anger on the food, write down the name and tell me, and I will deal with it." Rong Youtang pressed the abacus, Frowning, he ordered clearly.

"Okay!" Fang Tong readily agreed, and he said angrily, "The food is allocated by the imperial court, and the vegetables are bought by us. They are all hard-won. The whole army eats a pot of rice and a pot of vegetables together. How good it is to be able to eat half a spoonful of stewed meat for a few days, and where else are better civilian husbands than Beiying? A criminal is a criminal, and sure enough, he doesn’t feel safe anywhere, so different from ordinary people!”

This Rong Youtang deeply felt the same way, and he understood in the past few days: those who committed crimes and went to prison, except for a small number who were framed and wronged, must be sentenced to prison for corresponding crimes.At present, the people who are serving as husbands in Beiying are all minor criminals. Most of them have been imprisoned for crimes such as fraud, robbery and theft. Most of them are idlers who can't stand the poor.

"If anyone makes things difficult for the cook and the cook for no reason, write down the name and report it to me." Rong Youtang said seriously, "This is a military camp, and everyone is responsible for their duties. The kitchen is only responsible for boiling water and food. If there is nothing wrong with my job, the superiors will punish those who provoke and make trouble.”

Send a few back to the prison, and see who dares to be uneasy!

"Okay!" Fang Tong happily agreed, he sued to get an explanation for the fellow villagers, so as not to cause troubles in the future, and Shangfeng was not sure about it.

"Recruitment starts on the [-]th, and it will be very lively then. Remember to tell everyone to finish their work first before going to see what's new." Rong Youtang did not forget to ask.

"Okay. This is necessary. How can we delay everyone from eating?" Fang Tong accepted the order happily.

Afterwards, they continued to work on their own, Fang Tong deftly distributed the ten-day supply of salt to each kitchen, they were still chattering, Rong Youtang checked the accounts carefully, and spoke without a word.

"...Dung beetles with chicken feathers, what kind of birds are they? They only know how to brag!" Fang Tong talked about human nature, detesting the husbands of the criminals, and said contemptuously: "They have broken the law and are in jail, and they are talking about it!" What kind of 'help', 'pai', what kind of 'brother', 'grandfather', I really don't know how to be ashamed! Brother Rong, don't you think so?"

Rong Youtang concentrated on turning the beads, dipped the pen in the ink, carefully marked out the item, and said casually: "Thank you for your hard work."

So Fang Tong became even more energetic, and poured out all the bad deeds of criminals accumulated during these days in one breath. As he talked, he mentioned: "The group of people headed by the nickname 'Zhennan Lake' is the worst. Complaining nonsense, he loves bragging, spitting all over the place, grandma even teased the cook!"

Rong Youtang closed the account book, put down his pen, heaved a sigh of relief, and finally raised his eyes and asked, "Zhennan Lake? You're very proud, where is Nanhu Lake?"

"Hey, that bastard is from a county in the western suburbs. It is said that there is a pond in their village called Nantang. He thinks the pond is not big enough, so he calls himself 'Zhennan Lake'!" Fang Tong said, laughing loudly.

Rong Youtang couldn't help laughing: "There really is him."

"That guy probably won't survive if he doesn't brag. He said he has a master, and the master's master is even more capable and easy-to-face. He is nicknamed 'Zhen Qian Bao'. He was recruited by the rich and powerful because of his safe and reliable work. The food is delicious. Drinking and making offerings, committing countless things, but the government can't do anything about it."

Zhen Qianbao?

Because of thinking about it day and night, Rong Youtang's heart skipped a beat, and he asked: "Which dignitary recruited 'Zhen Qianbao'?"

Fang Tong tied up some salt bags tightly without raising his head, and said casually, "I heard from his disciples that the master's family name is Zou, and he is a person who covers the sky with his hands. Hey, braggart, let's listen to it as a joke."

Surname Zou?Rong Youtang recalled carefully, until he entered the main tent, he was still in deep thought, and took a closer look: King Qing and Guo Da who had gone out had returned.

"Your Highness, Mr. Guo." Rong Youtang collected his mind, hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "How about the Spring Plowing Ceremony? Has His Highness the Ninth Prince returned to the palace?"

"Consummated and successful." Guo Da replied slowly.He attended a major ceremony today, had to shave his face, take a bath and change his clothes, and seemed to have barely returned to normal.

"Xiao Jiu will stay in the palace for a few days and be filial to his father." Zhao Zeyong told.

Rong Youtang nodded: "His Highness the Ninth Prince is really sensible. Unexpectedly, His Majesty actually appointed the Ninth Prince to help the plow in the spring."

"Hmph." Guo Da sat leaning back, untied the complicated court clothes one by one, and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty is wise and kind, and through the Spring Festival Ceremony, I will pray for the blessings of the nine sons of the emperor who have been in frequent accidents, pray to the gods of heaven and earth, and the ancestors." Liezong blesses the prince's safety and health." Listen, what a perfect rhetoric, it is reasonable to bypass all adult princes, and this reason can still be used for several years.

Tsk, old fox!He has always avoided the important matter of establishing a reserve, and allowed His Royal Highness and Second Highness to fight openly and secretly for more than ten years.

Rong Youtang felt sorry for King Qing, and said in relief: "It's also very good, one thing more is worse than one thing less."

"A superior person seeks stability the most." Zhao Zeyong said succinctly.

"Your Highness, the recruitment will start in two days, but there are only about [-] shi of grain left in the warehouse, which is only enough for the current people to eat for more than a month." Rong Youtang reported.He is nominally the head of the kitchen, but now that the North Camp is under construction and there are insufficient manpower, he is also half of the quartermaster.

Zhao Zeyong looked solemn: "The grain storage in the capital cannot be moved. At the beginning of the month, the father ordered Ganzhou and Taizhou in the south of the Yangtze River to transfer [-] shi of grain to Beijing and allocate it to Beiying. If all goes well, the waterway will take half a month at most. But the grain ship has not yet sailed out of the Jiangnan section of the canal!"

Guo Da immediately asked: "Who is the beneficiary? Why the delay?"

"Shi Xuelin. The news just came in this morning. It is said that due to the heavy rain in the spring, the top layer of grain is wet, and it is currently resting and drying." Zhao Zeyong said.

"Shi Xuelin? Is he a student of Marquis Pingnan?" Guo Da raised his eyebrows and scolded, "Drying the food? The North Camp is almost out of cooking. If you deliberately obstruct it, you will be really impatient! He didn't inquire about the clock." The corrupt ink and grain officer that brother dealt with when he was in the northwest?"

Zhao Zeyong's face remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "Most likely there is a handle in someone else's hand, and he obeys orders."

"I hate other people's use of military rations!" Guo Da said angrily: "The soldiers have to train and fight. How can they be hungry? Cousin, send me to meet them? The boat goes south along the canal, and it will take a few days to catch up." arrive."

But Zhao Zeyong shook his head: "No need. The emperor has a deadline of one month, and I want to see how Shi Xuelin plans to end."

"Why are they obstructing it?" Rong Youtang asked puzzled, "What is Marquis Pingnan trying to coerce with the Beiying army rations?"

"Second Emperor Brother took the tax-collected errand, and there are many places to employ people." Zhao Zeyong said leisurely: "The Concubine Chen and the Empress are cousins, and it is not certain that they will retire together, but there is no doubt that they will advance together."

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince?!" Rong Youtang blurted out, instantly thinking of the Seventh Prince who was grounded.

"Let him be imprisoned for three months, don't come out one day earlier." Guo Da sneered: "Could it be Ping Nanhou's idea? It seems that the empress mother and son have already begged for mercy, and His Majesty probably did not agree, and His Highness is unlikely to help .”

Zhao Zeyong calmly said: "There is no need to 'do it', the sixth younger brother came to look for it yesterday. But the father has a golden mouth and teeth, and he promises everything. How can a son force his father to take back his life? This king is really helpless. "

"Hahaha~" Guo Da rarely laughed out loud, and praised: "My cousin is right!"

Rong Youtang suppressed a smile, he could completely imagine the sixth prince's expression.

"The sixth younger brother is motivated and willing to work, but he has many worries and refuses to come to Beiying to help." Zhao Zeyong sighed.

"Forget it, everyone has their own aspirations." Guo Da comforted.

But Rong Youtang was worried: "But Your Highness, if the food is not in place by the end of the month, what shall we eat? Unpacking and transporting are all manual work, and you can't even go hungry."

"Don't worry." Zhao Zeyong said confidently: "With a deadline of one month, Shi Xuelin will definitely deliver the general food."

Guo Da was expressionless, and sneered: "Perhaps it is the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River and the picturesque scenery of the water town, which is holding him back. After entering Beijing, I will definitely question him face to face!"

Scenic scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, Yanliu 24 bridge, Sanqiu osmanthus, ten-mile lotus.

Rong Youtang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help being fascinated: Speaking of Jiangnan, what happened to my grandfather's family?Niang said that my grandfather was the head of the academy, he was upright and well-known throughout the city, and he supported his biological father from a poor family and was optimistic about his future.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Renlin turned his face and regretted it after he was in high school, and instead married Ping Nanhou's second daughter as his wife!Shocked and furious, the Rong family vowed not to have any contact with each other until death, and felt sorry for their daughter.But Rong Huaijin couldn't let go of it: Zhou Lang once made a vow that he would never let him down in this life, how could he suddenly change his mind?She couldn't understand, couldn't accept it, and had fantasies in her heart. A weak woman in a boudoir, for the sake of love, fled to Beijing without caring about her loyal maid... Finally, she became Aunt Rong in a daze.

Rong Youtang remembers very clearly that when Yang Ruofang was sneering and sarcastic when she was young, she always laughed at her mother: hire her as a wife, run as a concubine, and you are willing to be a concubine.Zhou Lang reluctantly accepted you because of his mentor's face.At the beginning, the Rong family traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to persuade you, but you refused to leave with a stern face, making a big deal, why are you crying now?What are you wronged?Who forced you?Disgusting to watch!

A sigh.

In two lifetimes, Rong Youtang never had the chance to be filial to his mother.

-

When I went back to the city that night, the weather was warm, and I didn't have to fight against the biting north wind while riding a horse, and I could take the opportunity to chat a few words.

"Work harder in the assessment at the end of the month, and try to get a first name!" Guo Da encouraged, and he went home tonight because the elders issued a strict order.

Rong Youtang smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Guo, I will do my best. But the school is full of talents, and many students are among the best talents in the local area. I only want to be promoted to a higher level."

"Just try your best, don't worry about the ranking." Zhao Zeyong instructed, he is a superb rider, and he can't help riding his horse closer, walking side by side with the opponent.Fortunately, Guo Da also advanced closely, which was barely a formation surrounded by the coach.

The night before yesterday, Zhao Zeyong went to Dingbeihou's Mansion, and after a long secret talk with his grandmother, he didn't see Guo Huixin visiting Prince Qing's Mansion for two days.

After a while, they went into the city and rode to the East Street. If there was nothing important to discuss, Rong Youtang usually bid farewell and went home.

"Your Highness, Mr. Guo, please go slowly."

Rong Youtang dismounted and stood in front of the cloth village. A sharp-eyed guy had already come out to take the reins, and greeted King Qing and the others with a wide smile.

Zhao Zeyong habitually took a few glances at the brightly lit and crowded Rong's Cloth Shop, and then urged: "Come in."

"En." Rong Youtang bowed slightly, King Qing nodded with a smile, and led the crowd away.

Rong Youtang turned around and stepped into the cloth shop, walked around a few times, chatted and laughed with the staff, looked around, and then went home from the back door of the shop.

There is a short corridor between the two houses. After nightfall, several lanterns were lit. Rong Youtang walked briskly. Just as he was about to call his family to open the side door, a lantern above his head suddenly went out. He raised his head subconsciously, his eyes flickering Bright sword light——
