There is no phoenix

Yuanyang didn't say anything about meeting Yanhong yesterday.Because Yuanyang knew that if Jia She knew that she had spoken to Yan Hong, she might be the next one to die.

Jia's mother likes that she can't do without herself, but Jia Amnesty is Jia's mother's son, and is also hereditary from Rongguo Mansion.I am glad that I had the courage to resist the marriage at the beginning, if not for this, I would be the one who is being tortured like this now!But she kept herself safe for the time being, but she didn't expect that there would be another Yanhong on the road of no return instead of her.

Thinking of Yanhong, Yuanyang didn't sleep well all night.Thinking of Li Xun again, he is affectionate and righteous to himself, but helplessly, he cannot dominate himself.

I can't bear to leave Jiamu, who is dying and has always been kind to me, but Jia Amnesty, the devil who is always on the sidelines, seems to be spying on me at any time.Yanhong said that she has nothing to do with herself, but she has hurt others.

Will he also implicate the innocent Li Xun like Yan Hong did?

Yuanyang tossed and turned like this all night, unable to fall asleep.Not long after breakfast the next day, Yuanyang was talking with Jiamu when a girl came in and said, "Old lady, a woman from the second girl's side is back, and asked if the second girl has come back?"

Mother Jia asked in surprise, "What? The girl Ying is gone too? Bring that woman in!"

After a while, the old woman came in and said, "Old lady, the second girl really disappeared. She disappeared yesterday. Uncle Sun is very angry. After searching for a day yesterday, she said that the second girl took most of the Sun family's cash. Yin was also taken away, and he said he couldn't find it today, so he might have to report it to the authorities!"

Mother Jia was shocked when she heard this, and said, "Young girl Ying is pregnant, why did she disappear? She also took a lot of money from the Sun family and left?"

The woman nodded and said: "Yes, old lady, not only the second girl is missing, but also the girl Xiuju. Because the second girl's child is gone, Uncle Sun said a few words to her, and she and Xiuju disappeared early yesterday morning." So Uncle Sun said, the second girl and Xiuju must have planned to escape and took all the money and jewelry away."

When Jia Mu heard that Yingchun's child was gone, she was in a daze.

At this moment, Hu Po came in again and said: "Old lady, Yan Hong found it, but—"

Seeing that Amber was speaking hesitantly, Mother Jia quickly asked, "Where did you find him? This Yan Hong is so courageous that she dares to spend the night outside without going back?"

Hu Po replied: "Old lady, Miss Yanhong is dead. She was found in the lotus pond in the Grand View Garden. Now Mrs. Lin has been salvaged."

When Jia Mu heard this, she was even more surprised.

Seeing that Jia's mother was shocked, Hu Po said in a daze, "Old lady, the little girl Jiahui discovered this bright red. Jiahui went to pick lotus in the pond early this morning, and saw the dress floating in the pond, which was a bit strange. , Let a woman use a stick to pick the dress, only to find that it is a dead person, at that time the woman and Jia Hui were both terrified."

Jia Mu paused for a long time before she came back to her senses and asked in surprise, "Humber, how did this happen? What happened? You go and invite the eldest lady, and I will ask her face to face. How could such a good person go to Yuanzi jumping into the lake?"

Hu Po hurriedly said: "Old lady, Mrs. Lin said that maybe Miss Yanhong was trying to pick the lotus and fell down, because the lotus there has already bloomed a lot, and Jiahui only saw it this morning when she went there to pick the lotus. Miss Ping took people there yesterday. It was already dark when we went there, who would pay attention? Besides, Miss Yanhong had never been to the Grand View Garden before.”

After hearing this, Jia Mu nodded and said, "Girls love flowers, I'm afraid that Yanhong is like that, she fell down by mistake. Forget it, let the elders and mistresses take care of themselves."

When Yuanyang saw what Jia Mu said, she couldn't help sighing, and hurriedly persuaded: "Old lady, sometimes you really have to believe that everything is predetermined, and you can't help yourself. The old lady is old now, and the children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let them do it." , the old lady is very reassuring, but don't get angry."

Mother Jia wept and said, "Yuanyang, I don't know why. It turns out that when Yu'er was still here, there didn't seem to be so many things. Since she left here this year, so many things have come. The fourth girl is gone, and the second girl is gone. I finally had a child, but now the child is gone, and the person has disappeared. If Ying girl really left, she brought a lot of money, but it’s nothing. To be honest, I don't believe that she dared to take the jewelry and the money from the Sun family, besides, she never went out."

Yuanyang hurriedly said: "But old lady, the lady who came yesterday is from our place, so she shouldn't lie!"

Jia Mu sighed: "These girls in our house were my greatest comfort, and none of them were praised by others. I thought that if there were such girls, if they all climbed into a good family, I would have them outside in the future." The husband's family can support the gentlemen, and they can help us family members in the village. Who knows that they are all like that. Lin girl left here and returned to Gusu, and she doesn't know how she is doing now? The third girl went to make a marriage, but it can't be said. Gong My lady, it’s almost summer now, and there’s no good news yet. Now that something like this is happening at home, what should we do if we go out?”

Amber comforted her and said: "Old lady, think about more happy things. Second Master Lian has good news about Qiu Tong now, and maybe Second Grandma Bao will have it soon. If there are things that don't go your way, which family members don't?" ?”

Mother Jia thought for a while and thought: "Mandarin ducks, everyone said that the Bodhisattva in Muniyuan is very effective. Yu'er went away, and she looked much better when she came back. Miaoyu is there, and she can finally recognize her ancestors and return to her clan. Tell Feng girl to choose a good day, I want to take a few of them to the Muni courtyard to burn incense and see if they can come back with some joy and wash away all the bad luck in our house."

Yuanyang nodded and said: "If the old lady has this heart, everything will be very effective. I will also go there to draw lots to see if everything goes well."

Mother Jia nodded and said, "Yuanyang, you don't ask for anything else when you go there, just see if you can have good luck next year. Next year, I will promise you to find a good family."

After hearing this, Yuanyang blushed and lowered her head and said, "I just want to be with the old lady. Now my parents in Nanjing are gone, and my brother and sister-in-law are not close to me. Besides, they have all gone to Nanjing, so I have nothing to worry about." .”

Jia Mu said: "Yuanyang, I missed you. Don't worry, although I am old, I am not confused. As long as I am still alive, I will definitely arrange your affairs. Whoever dares to embarrass you will embarrass me. , you can rest assured!"

After hearing this, Yuanyang was moved and hurriedly said: "Old lady, Yuanyang has never been with her family since she was a child. The old lady is closer than my family. The old lady is still alive, and Yuanyang dare not think about her own affairs. If the marriage is not good, it is better Follow the old lady."

Jia Mu said: "You are talking nonsense. Yuanyang, you can go and let Feng girl choose a date tomorrow. When the date is selected, tell the wives and grandmas that anyone who will go to the Muni Academy will go, but don't Go, those elders, so as not to wash away the aura given by the Bodhisattva of the Muniyuan."

Yuanyang hurriedly nodded in agreement.

At this time, in the Chengde Hall of the Imperial Palace, the Prince was holding several memorials to discuss important matters with the Emperor Shui Ruoyang.

It turned out that Li Tai asked someone to send a report, saying that he and the princess had arrived in Nanxiong, Guangdong. He heard that the Jiedu envoy of the South China Sea was looking for an important general to go to Annan to fight the rebellion. He can help Annan put down the rebellion, and is willing to continue to guard the South China Sea after Annan is put down, and to ensure the long-term peace of the South China Sea. He only hopes that the emperor can marry Princess Nanning to him.

Shui Ruoyang discussed with the prince for a while, and felt that Li Tai was worthy of the important task of helping An Nanping's rebel general.It is no longer possible for Princess Nanning to get married, so if Li Tai can be given a marriage, it would be a good story.

Shui Ruoyang then discussed with several important ministers about Li Tai's self-recommendation, and finally agreed to Li Tai's request.On the same day, Shui Ruoyang asked Prince Shui Ze to send someone to send the drafted decree to the South China Sea. Li Tai and Princess Nanning went directly to the south. .

After being busy for a long time, Shui Ruoyang remembered that today is still the day when the Imperial Guard selects the deputy commander, so he said to the prince: "Ze'er, you go to the school to check the selection situation in the afternoon, and then select a few good players to come to the palace. The vice-commander brought Rong'er Ziying here, I have something to say!"

Shui Ze hurriedly nodded and said: "Don't worry, my father, even if my father doesn't order, I want to go and have a look in the afternoon. Theoretically, there should be a round of selection in the morning, and the selection in the afternoon is the most exciting. No matter what the result is, I will decide when I come back." I will tell my father."

Just like what Prince Mizusawa said, the Imperial Guard Academy in the afternoon was more lively than the selection in the morning.After the first round of selection in the morning, 18 people were left to participate in the selection of the four vice-commanders of the Imperial Guards, and the selection of the assistant commanders of the six Imperial Guards.Liu Xianglian and Li Lei and Li Xun are among them, and the remaining eight will be the third-class guards of the palace.

When Prince Mizusawa came to the school, the selection had already started.Water Rong Feng Ziying and King Nan'an on the high platform, when they saw Prince Shuize coming in person, they all stood up and came out to greet him.

Because there are indeed many people watching the selection, Shui Rong Feng Ziying has seen Liu Xianglian's skills, and she has a plan, so she sits on the high platform and watches from a distance.Prince Shuize told Shui Rong Feng Ziying about Li Tai's self-recommendation to Nan'an to suppress the rebellion, and the two naturally liked it.

Seeing that Shui Rong and Feng Ziying both seemed to hear these things, Shui Ze felt that they seemed to be reasonable, so he hurriedly asked why.Shui Rong smiled and talked about the matter between Daiyu and Li Tai back then, and Shui Ze suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Rong married Li Tai's good sister, and now he can be considered worthy of paying him a royal sister."

Shui Rong said with a smile: "I'll tell you the truth, Brother Prince, I'm afraid only the Nanning imperial sister is worthy of Li Tai, a civil and military genius. If Li Tai hadn't come to the capital late, sister Daiyu would definitely choose him instead of me."

Shui Ze also smiled and said: "Brother Rong, do you believe it? Sometimes I really envy you, so it's easier to be a prince. I didn't think so. Now that I have been with my father in Chengde Hall for a long time, I realize that being an emperor is not so easy. Father The emperor has been reading those memorials all day long, listening to all kinds of reports from civil servants and generals, working hard day and night, it is really not easy!"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Of course I know that the father and the prince's elder brother have worked hard, so I never envy being an emperor. Being an emperor is really hard. When people outside the palace talk about the Son of Heaven, they just mean that the Son of Heaven can be as good as the Three Palaces and Six Courts. There are countless beauties, but who knows how much energy and hard work it takes to be a good emperor. But brother prince, I believe you can do a good job. If I were to sit in Chengde Hall for a whole day, I'm afraid I'd go crazy. It turns out that the queen mother has always said that I am very active, that I just want to run outside the palace every day, and that only you, brother prince, are calm! So, brother prince, you were born to be an emperor!"

Mizusawa smiled and said, "Brother Rong, to tell you the truth, if I can change, I hope I can be your young prince. You can go to the Northwest to kill enemies and make meritorious service according to your own wishes, and you can go to the south of the Yangtze River with the person you like. Enjoy the style of the southern country to your heart's content, you can also go to the streets and alleys of the capital to eat and drink, and you can also go to the suburbs to relax at any time, do you think I have it?"

Shui Rong said: "If Brother Prince wants to do this, when you are free someday, you can bring the emperor's wife out, and I will take you to a place, you will definitely like it!"

Shui Ze was overjoyed and said: "Brother Rong, then it's a deal. I know you and Ziying Liu Xianglian get together these days. If I can get together like this once a month, I'm afraid the best secret recipe for prolonging life will be inferior to you." Have fun like this!"

The two brothers, Shui Ze and Shui Rong, were talking, only to hear bursts of applause from over there.After a while, the selection on the school field was over, and the ranking record was presented.Feng Ziying took over the school selection record, looked at it, and said with a smile, "Xianglian ranked first in four of the six selections. Congratulations!"

After Feng Ziying finished speaking, she passed the results of the selection of these 18 people to the prince, and everyone looked at it.The king of Nan'an memorized the names and surnames of the selected positions, and summoned 18 people to the high platform, and asked Prince Shuize to give a lecture.

Mizusawa looked at the selected generals and said, "You are the pillars of the country. If there is no war right now, you will work in the Imperial Guard. If there is a war, it is possible to choose to go to the battlefield at any time! I hope you can make use of your strengths, Do your best!"

Everyone clasped their fists in agreement.

Shui Ze then said to Shui Rong Feng Ziying and the Prince of Nan'an who were in charge of the selection: "You have worked hard these days. After the court tomorrow morning, the emperor will summon these 18 people in the Chengde Hall. You can just let them wait in the Daming Palace. The emperor will personally interrogate, and the rewards and positions will also be discussed at that time, you all go together!"

King Nan'an hurriedly said: "Prince, don't worry, these ministers have already explained, they all know. They have worked hard today, let them go back to rest earlier."

Mizusawa nodded.The crowd dispersed and prepared to return home.

Feng Ziying said to Shui Ze Shui Rong: "The selection of Xianglian is hard today, why don't you go to my place for dinner and persuade me to welcome Xianglian. If the prince and the young prince are free, how about we get together? It's still early, I will take Li Lei and Li Xun calls too!"

Shui Ze hurriedly said: "You guys get together first, I'm going back to the palace, Father is still waiting for my reply."

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Brother Prince, you go back to the palace to answer the father, and come out later. The Jiangnan cuisine cooked by the cook of Brother-in-law Feng's family is really good! You were still envious of me just now, why not enjoy it once, dinner Then I will take you back to the East Palace!"

Feng Ziying also smiled and said: "That's right, the prince and the emperor have only been to my place once, and it's rare to be free tonight, so it's better to come out after settling down in the palace. The prince and the emperor don't know, Liu Xianglian is a brother who is worth befriending. We played together since we were young." After growing up, there will be many business affairs in the future, and it will not be so easy to get together, so why not just take tonight, father will not blame me!"

After hearing this, Shui Ze hurriedly smiled and said, "I want to go now when you say that. Well, I'll go to the palace and report to Father. When I'm done with business, I'll try to get together as early as possible!"

Not long after Shui Ze left, Shui Rong and Feng Ziying were talking, and Liu Xianglian, Li Lei and Li Xun led the horse over.Feng Ziying smiled and said: "Xianglian, you three are probably exhausted today. You should change your clothes first when you go back, have a good rest, and then go directly to my house. I will go back and make arrangements now."

Liu Xianglian said: "Ziying, I would like to see how your son-in-law's mansion is being built someday. I heard that Shan Ziye you hired is very good at designing gardens. I also want to ask him to help me look at the backyard. Completely renovate there. Although my place is not big, it has been abandoned for so many years, and it will look good if it is repaired."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Xianglian, you have found the right person. It is said that there are families in the capital who have relatives, and the best design is the Grand View Garden in Rongguo Mansion. And that Grand View Garden was designed by Shan Ziye you are talking about now. The towers and pavilions are what Shan Ziye is best at!"

Feng Ziying smiled and said: "What the young prince said is, Xianglian, you should also prepare for it. If you wait for the bride to come, it will still be the same as before. Be careful that our bride will punish you!"

Shui Rong laughed and said, "Ziying is right. Not only Xianglian, Li Lei and Li Xun, you two also took this time to take good care of the house, and when the hostess came, give them a sense of comfort. My house, I My father is already starting to make arrangements for me."

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "I believe that after three to five years, our children will be able to joke like us. Let's go, let's all go back and get ready!"

So everyone talked and laughed and got on their horses, and went back to their homes.
