The Honor of the Red Chamber

In the golden autumn season, the emperor suddenly decreed that a small group of bandits were found in the south, who regarded the country's righteous court and royal family as nothing, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of crimes. Wang Shuimu of Xining was the main general, and the third-rank general Jia Rong was the deputy general to completely suppress the bandits.

With the imperial decree, the undercurrents are surging, not to mention what kind of bandits can work. An invincible prince led a third-rank deputy general to exterminate them. It is said that the king of Xining went out of Beijing as soon as he returned to Beijing. A lieutenant general who has never been on the battlefield seems to be out of favor, but he is given the command of an extremely elite army, which is obviously favored. Like this, everyone can't figure out what the emperor is thinking.

Not to mention that Jia Rong and Shui Mu led their troops to set off on another day, Jia Rong felt like a fish swimming into the sea, and felt comfortable all over, but Shui Mu was a little sleepy, looking at Jia Rong, there was always something strange, Jia Rong was not a careless person, so she noticed it naturally, and took advantage of the gap to ask, but only got a few extremely depressed sighs.

Not to mention what exactly happened to Shui Mu in the palace, since they set off on the expedition, the atmosphere in Beijing has not been as brisk as it used to be, things under the stage slowly poured onto the stage, and in the past they were singing and dancing, but now there are swords and swords It means that those with different positions have different fates. The emperor used thunderous means to change the positions of hundreds of officials, removed more than a dozen official hats, and promoted more than a dozen young people. Swords are on the verge of breaking out, and the place outside the boudoir is trembling, and the rain is about to come.

Jia's mansion was peaceful, but You's side closed the door decisively. Her father-in-law was always good-natured, her husband was sick in bed, and there was no man who supported the family to socialize. Not even a fly could fly in. Rongguo Mansion Here, they are still dazzled by wealth and honor, the masters are fighting each other, and the subordinates are also learning to intrigue.

During this period, many things happened again. Because of that transfer, Lin Ruhai has always added a lot to the national treasury in the salt administration, and collected evidence of the rebellion of officials in the south of the Yangtze River. Placed in the turbulent south of the Yangtze River, carefully folded in, was transferred back to the capital, became a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and concurrently the Prince Shaobao, a first-class official residence, and was given an exquisite and beautiful official residence, which was extremely noble for a time. Steward Wen hurriedly cleaned up and sent the letter to Jia's mansion. Daiyu wept with joy, wishing she could fly to her father immediately. Only then did those servants who were overbearing and demeaning realize that this orphan girl who was "under the fence" was actually an old lady. The eldest daughter of a first-rank official, she is distinguished, but she is above all the girls in the Jia family, let alone Xue Baochai, who came from a family of merchants. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the Grand View Garden changed quietly. The servant with the root of his tongue came up to please him, but Baochai, who was in the limelight before, was left out in the cold.

As a result, the confrontation between Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang fell into a stalemate again. Although Baochai had the support of the imperial concubine Yuan, Daiyu's status was much higher than Baochai's. Daiyu was also worried that the relationship with her son-in-law would be too tense, but at this time she didn't mention Daiyu's marriage with Baoyu, which surprised Lin Ruhai who came to see Jia's mother.

Daiyu has four very good girls by her side, and she is often taken care of by Jia Rong and Xichun, but she is not as wronged as before. Seeing that her daughter looks good, Lin Ruhai is also really grateful for Jia's mother's care, so she calms down for a while. Feeling alienated from Rongguo Mansion.

The father and daughter were separated for many years and finally reunited. Not only is it a warm and touching experience, Daiyu's marriage also came quietly because of the change of her father's fate.

The outside world is changing, and the palace is frequently receiving front-line reports. The emperor's complexion is getting worse and worse. The whole day is covered with dark clouds. Even the concubine Jia Gui, who has always been favored in the harem, has encountered bad luck several times. , let alone make the emperor unhappy at this moment.

But they don't know that the front line is victorious one after another, and each battle is more exciting than the last. Shui Mu and Jia Rong join forces, even the world can fight, let alone a rebel with great ambitions and few talents?The two of them worked out various tactics with ease, and used them as if they were experimenting. The rebels lost all their fighting spirit, and each of them wanted to cry and go back to their hometown.

The emperor's complexion was not good, but it was because of the information sent by the dark guards. With the victories in the war, the relationship between Shui Mu and Jia Rong became more and more deep. In the Jia family, Shui Mu could not help but get closer to the other party after a few days of compliance. Jia Rong is so shrewd. She had already seen that Shui Mu was in a bad mood, so she seized every opportunity to lock Shui Mu in her arms. It spread densely, how did Shui Mu, who had never experienced anything, resist, and surrendered in two or three strokes. Although the two never delayed military affairs, they had a deep affection, but they also had trysts from time to time. He almost wanted to vomit blood—although he had mischievous intentions towards this imperial brother from the same mother, in the end he loved and doted on him, but most of them were, otherwise he would be forced, so what could Shui Mu do?The emperor knew that Shui Mu had feelings for him, but when he sent Shui Mu to the army to endure hardships, it was really for Shui Mu's good, and he never told a lie.

Who would have thought that the imperial brother whom he held dear in his heart for fear of being seen by others would be taken over by a man so easily, his bones were gnawed clean, even now that Jia Rong was chopped off, Shui Mu's cheapness was also taken by Jia Rong What's the use if it's exhausted?

But the emperor couldn't let go of his anger. In a fit of anger, he ordered Jia Rong to catch the leader of the rebel army, otherwise he was not allowed to return to Beijing, and Shui Mu returned immediately after destroying the rebel army!

Shui Mu's capriciousness is obvious to all. The emperor's decree is almost the same as if he didn't. He blocked the emperor back with the sentence "I will not accept the military orders abroad", and regardless of Jia Rong's dissuasion, he happily talked with Jia Rong Together they pursued the remnants of the forces and devoted themselves to rooting out the rebels, completely unaware that their imperial brother was trembling with rage in the palace, beating his chest and stamping his feet, only to plead guilty in front of the queen mother's spirit tablet.

When the good news was released, most of the people in the capital were naturally beaming. Jia's mansion even learned of Jia Rong's contribution, and the whole mansion was overjoyed. To join in to celebrate Sister Feng's birthday, Mrs. You was invited to host it.You Shi also had nothing to do, she used her intelligence to organize a birthday banquet in a lively and beautiful way, which surprised those who thought she was mediocre and lacking in talent.

Here, although Sister Feng is happy that Jia's mother looks good for her, she doesn't want her husband, Jia Lian, to lose face for her. Sweeping nothing left, although Sister Feng reconciled with him in the end, she was heartbroken. Thinking of Jia Rong who was on the expedition, although there were some anecdotes, she respected women, and she was different from Baoyu who cared for women and cherished jade. In the cold, he thought about it for a long time, but in front of Jia's mother, he took Ping'er to Jia Lian.

Mrs. You and Sister Feng have a good relationship. Thinking of Mrs. Wang plotting against the Ning family that day, Sister Feng was just a role of running errands. It was Mrs. Wang who asked Jia Rong to approach Wang Ziteng in her official career, so as to win Jia Rong to marry the daughter of the Wang family, and then control Ning If you go to the government, you will not be angry.

After much deliberation, she persuaded Sister Feng sincerely, "I know you don't think much of me, you just think I'm from a low family background and have little talent, so I can't control my master, but how can you Do you know the reason? Regarding the reputation in the mansion, although I don’t do anything, I’m not much worse than you. After all, I’ve taken care of my health. Master, but no one can give me face. Why should I control too much and tire others? But you, I see you are struggling every day, and you are so tired that you have lost your brother. But who pities you? Husband Can you be more reliable than children? It's not that you can't have children, why don't you take care of your health, raise a brother well, and you can rely on him in the future. The title in this mansion belongs to your eldest wife, and no one can rely on it, but if you don't Heir, if Lian's second younger brother accepts a concubine as heir, even if it is adopted, the title will not fall to you, but I don't know why you are fighting so much?"

After hearing Youshi's heart-to-heart words, Sister Feng was already a little disheartened, and she burst into tears, "Who said it wasn't? Now I have realized that I have worked so hard, although I have some desire to win, it is just hope." The house is prosperous, but so what if I have only one hope, even my own man beats me up, I do everything for him, and I am not as good as a slave wife, how can I have the face to live? I don’t care about him anymore, left He's just a lustful, sweet talker, but he has no conscience at all, he loves freshness, so let him be fresh, I just live by my eldest sister, anyway, no one can change the position of my first wife."

You Shi patted her hand and sighed, "It's reasonable for you to think like this, even though it's a bit negative. With her beauty and character, she can still surpass you? You have worked so hard, you have a bad reputation." It all falls on you, and the good name belongs to others, but is it wrong? I heard that there are people in your house who lend money. I know that this is a big deal of ransacking and beheading. I have heard it, so outsiders know it too. If something happens in the future, people will only ask your housekeeper grandma, so don't you think about your sister?"

After hearing these words, Sister Feng shivered, forgot to shed tears, and stared blankly at You Shi, "What you said is true, don't you just scare me?"

Youshi glared at her, "If it weren't for our friendship, I wouldn't say it. It's been rumored outside and secretly. How can such a thing be done? This is a bad thing to kill children and grandchildren. Hell is notorious!"

If it was Sister Feng who was high-spirited in the past, she would not be suppressed by You Shi's words at all. For example, she had clearly stated that she was not afraid of retribution for the things she did in Tiekan Temple. Very discouraged, Youshi mentioned her lost brother and eldest sister before, and she couldn't help but think, although she is not afraid of retribution, will all those retributions fall on her children?

Thinking of the words "cut off children and grandchildren", she only felt a chill pervading her limbs. Could it be that she really did something wrong?
