The Honor of the Red Chamber

It was such a cold eye knife, looking extremely bad, but I didn't know which string touched Jia Rong, so I couldn't help laughing happily, and the peach blossoms danced in an instant, colorful and brilliant.

He walked over quickly, and did not look at the eyes of the servants at the bottom of the wall, standing in front of Shui Mu with a gentle smile, "I remember Xiu Mu today, didn't you enter the palace? Did you come here? It’s so hot, climbing a mountain is not fun. Don’t you bring a few attendants? After all, you don’t know Beijing very well, so it’s not good to be offended.”

Xu Shi saw that Jia Rong came to him without saying a word, and his tone was also very concerned. Shui Mu snorted and put away the folding fan, but his face softened a lot. Just wandering around, what's the point of working hard?"

But Shui Mu didn't say anything, he struggled with conflicts for a long time, and finally couldn't restrain himself, he just said he was looking for Jia Rong for an outing, and went to Ningguo Mansion early in the morning, but he didn't see anyone, so he turned to Qingxu Temple, still nothing After this round, I even forgot to eat breakfast. I had already accumulated a lot of anger, and when I saw someone, I would get angry. But when I saw Jia Rong standing in front of me with a smile on my face, the anger suddenly disappeared. Before he knew it, the ice melted and the snow melted, and he only thought of himself as broad-minded, praising himself secretly in his heart, and on the surface he became more generous and calm.

Seeing Jia Qiang slowly coming out from the shade of the tree, she understood Jia Qiang's identity in her heart, but she still looked at Jia Rong. Jia Rong looked back and saw Jia Qiang standing behind her, waiting for him. Introduction, he also didn't know if Shui Mu would like his identity to be known, after all, seeing that he was wearing casual clothes, it was clear that he was traveling in modest clothes, so he just said calmly, "This is my friend, this is my cousin Jia Qiang."

Shui Mu's eyes darkened slightly, he looked at Jia Qiang calmly, his pale lips were tightly pressed, and after a while he raised a noble and proud smile, and said lazily, "Sure enough, I have an extraordinary appearance, I think I have always been ignorant, look The men here are all tall and thick, dark and strong, it is rare to see such a handsome and romantic person, and you don't look like a cousin, but a real brother."

However, Jia Qiang's face changed slightly. Jia Rong just said it casually, but he didn't know that his words would inevitably make people feel suspicious. Here, two men who get along well are also called "making friends", but it's just a tacit understanding. Jia Rong Introducing Shui Mu's identity so naturally, without mentioning his name, seemed ambiguous in Jia Qiang's eyes, and seeing Jia Rong's gentle and connotative attitude made her feel uncomfortable.

At that moment, Jia Qiang just smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliments. Brother Rong is a decent official. How can I compare? It's just helping each other with housework. By the way, I'm confused. We're here What's the point of talking under the sun? It's not very strong, but it's dazzling, why don't you go to the old lady first?"

Jia Qiang said every sentence naturally, but she didn't know which sentence offended Shui Mu again. He puffed up his cheeks, glared at Jia Rong, and said nothing again. Jia Rong knew his temper and hurriedly said to Jia Qiang, "He has such a personality. My son, I don’t bother to meet many people, you’re still busy with your work, don’t bother us, I’ll take him over there for a cup of tea, I’m afraid he has something to tell me, if the master asks later, he will say that there are my colleagues Come look for me, if there is an urgent matter, you can let the Chibi beside me come back to me."

After finishing speaking, he smiled apologetically at Jia Qiang, and hurriedly dragged Shui Mu away without waiting for Jia Qiang to open his mouth. If he stayed here again, he didn't know what kind of anger this ancestor would be inexplicably. In the end, he was the one who suffered the most. There was still a dull pain where he was beaten.

Shui Mu let Jia Rong lead her away, looked back, and saw Jia Qiang standing where she was, opening her mouth as if to call Jia Rong, but she didn't make a sound, half of Jia Qiang's face was covered by a tree shade, Shui Mu endured Can't help but hold Jia Rong's hand tightly.

After all, Jia’s family held a funeral ceremony here, and the people coming and going in Qingxu Temple were stopped for a moment. Jia Rong was worried that he would bump into someone who knew Shui Mu’s identity. After he accidentally broke the relationship between the emperor and Shui Mu, He paid great attention to the distance from Shui Mu outside, if the emperor suspected that Shui Mu was making friends with generals, it would be very bad, so he dragged Shui Mu back to the mansion directly, Shui Mu was also very obedient along the way, and did not refute at all.

Ningguo Mansion has always had a lot of people coming and going. Jia Zhen pulls all kinds of smelly things into the mansion, and there are countless concubines who molested children. Seeing that Jia Rong suddenly brought someone back, he didn't take it seriously, at most he looked at it twice, and muttered to himself why Uncle Xiao Rong's taste had changed, what to do.

As a third-rank general, Jia Rong had her own number of personal soldiers, so she chose two smart and upright servants to be her personal servants, one Chibi, who was quick-witted and lively, who was in charge of running errands and delivering news, and the other Guandu, who was steady and careful, but took care of him. With his daily life, he also taught them reading and martial arts when he had time, which greatly enhanced the loyalty of the two of them, and gradually gained Jia Rong's attention.

Jia Rong would never think that Shui Mu was just looking for him to have fun with nothing to do. Although there was some meaning to it, the real purpose was not there. This person seemed willful, stubborn, proud and irritable. But he is a victorious general on the battlefield. In the frontier army with complex factions, he survived at the age of 13 until today, and holds real power. How can he be a simple person?I underestimated him, and I might stumble someday without knowing it, so whenever I faced Shui Mu, although I found him very pleasing to the eye, I never let go of my guard.

Shui Mu looked at Jia Rong's study room with rich contents. He was dizzy from seeing those heavy books. The military book alone took up an entire bookshelf, and there were rows of books handwritten by Jia Rong. Finally, he blushed a little. He said in embarrassment, "Uh, don't let me get it right. You have everything here, even poetry and songs. Don't tell me you are not only outstanding in martial arts, but also a talented person who speaks well?"

Jia Rong glanced at him and smiled warmly, "You might as well look through those books."

Shui Mu turned the pages as she said, and immediately didn't know what face to put on—the books were clean and brand new, without even a trace of creases, even if they were just published, they were not so new.

Jia Rong said carelessly, "It's just for show. The history, geography, customs, and human relationships are still worth seeing, but the poems and songs are useless to us. We have to give others the impression of being good at reading. I can't see it." understand these things."

Shui Mu suddenly thought of the other party's expression when he saw his study that day, and secretly started to stir up trouble in his heart. He must make the empty study at home more luxurious and full than the one here! ! !

Thinking here, Shui Mu casually pulled out a handbook, and there was no point in asking Jia Rong for half a minute, and there was no embarrassment at all. After Lalan opened it, it was a book of war experience summed up by Jia Rong himself. Combining the ancient wars that Jia Rong knew and the modern wars he had personally experienced, many insights were novel and bold, but they were unheard of. However, in the eyes of an expert like Shui Mu, he saw the feasibility at a glance It's not ordinary talk on paper, rhetoric, I think it has been well thought out, and it just needs to be put into reality.

Shui Mu immediately felt as if he had found a treasure, and said happily, "I was hesitating whether to take you with me this time. After all, you are still young, but seeing your opinion, you are not a fledgling. See more clearly, if you try your skills, can you use these tactics one by one?"

Jia Rong was waving her brush to practice her calligraphy. She was taken aback when she heard the words, and said, "What's the matter? Is there something going on in the grassland to the west?"

Shui Mu raised his chin and gave him a contemptuous look, "You look down on me too much. I have only been away for a long time, and even if Yu Wei is still there, I have to let those thugs be quiet for a few years! It's just that I handed over the book, there is a... ... Rebels, I'm thinking about how to arrange these days, why don't you be my lieutenant general, practice your hands first, I'm afraid there will be bigger battles to be fought in the future!"

When Jia Rong saw Shui Mu mentioning the word "rebels", he was vague and embarrassed, and immediately thought of the royal battle, and he didn't expect to enter the endless situation so soon!

Ever since Qin Keqing left for no reason, he knew in his heart that the lineage of Prince Loyalty represented by Qin Keqing was afraid that he would never die with the emperor, and that he, Ningguo Mansion, was clearly a subject of the emperor, but raised the daughter of Prince Loyalty, secretly Supporting the lineage of the deposed prince was naturally pushed to the forefront, and then seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately used Qin Keqing as a sacrifice, and only regarded a well-behaved royal daughter as a pawn to be manipulated wantonly. There is no respect at all. As a villain, the emperor hated Qin Keqing's lineage, so how could he spare the Jia family who trampled on the dignity of the entire royal family?I'm afraid that if you don't pay attention to it a little bit, if you don't pay attention to it, if you don't pay attention to it, you will seize the nobles and ransack your home and exile for thousands of miles, or if you go all over your family and behead all your families, the end will be bleak. It's ridiculous that Jia Zhen didn't notice it at all. The road to death is approaching step by step.

It turned out that Jia Rong planned to gradually figure it out, so that Jia Zhen would slowly lose her undisputed status in Ningguo Mansion and even the entire Jia family, and strive to take over and control the entire Ningguo Mansion without leaving a trace. By clearly saying the word "rebel", it can be seen that the emperor is planning to tear his face apart!

This is the opportunity for him and the Jia family to turn around and get rid of the fate of ransacking their family and exiling them in the future. However, if they are not handled well, the entire Jia family will be killed!

After pondering for a moment, Jia Rong made up her mind and raised her lips with a smile, "Since that's the case, how dare Jia Boyan disobey his orders?!"

Shui Mu also returned a meaningful smile, "That's good, but with your current status, you might express this attitude on behalf of the Jia family?"

Jia Rong's peach blossom eyes were shining brightly, "I only represent myself and the Ning Mansion, what else does the rest have to do with me?"
