Red House Farm Stay

The Zhao family girl shook her head, then nodded again.Jia Zhuo knew that the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't speak clearly, so she stroked her back, "I'll go and bring the ice bowl, you can eat slowly at my place, and speak slowly."

Before Jia Zhuo got up, Qing'er brought over an ice bowl, "I know you must be whispering, the ice will melt in a while and you won't be able to eat it, so I'll bring it to you and eat it in the room."

It's about Jia Lan, others don't know about their relationship with Jia Zhuo, how could Qing'er not know, and intentionally asked them to talk more, so she brought in an ice bowl, just as Jia Zhuo wanted.

As soon as Qing'er left, the girl from the Zhao family twittered with an ice bowl: "If I tell, others will know where I am hiding. I can only tell Xiaoxi that Xiaoxi is a girl who grew up with me. But she If you don’t believe me, I suspect that I dreamed about it when I was dreaming, and it made me mad.”

Miss Zhao's family brought up a group of children, and they were spoiled too much, so it's no wonder the maid didn't believe it.

"Haven't you asked your third aunt?"

"Xiaoxi didn't allow me to ask, saying that the third aunt would be angry. It's strange. Didn't she say that she didn't believe me? Tell me, it means you believe me, or you don't believe me." Miss Zhao's thoughts suddenly turned to other things. After all, who Jia Zhuo is betrothed to and whether Jia Lan's fate is a very distant matter to her are not as important as what she eats at night.

"Of course she believes in you, so you are not allowed to ask." Jia Zhuo reassured her, thinking, Xiaoxi is just one thing more than one thing less.

"Don't let your third aunt know. If others know that you eavesdropped on third aunt, it will damage your reputation and your mother will be blamed." Jia Zhuo carefully advised her after consideration.

"Ah, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. Every time I go to her first." Zhao's girl defended.

"Although this is the case, people outside won't listen to your explanations. Besides, your third aunt came, and you didn't come out to say hello. As a junior, is it not proper etiquette?" Jia Zhuo coaxed the little girl to still no problem.

The Zhao family girl was indeed coaxed by her for a moment, the more she thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and she thanked her: "It's fortunate that you taught me, otherwise my mother would be in trouble again."

"Tell me why my third aunt speaks so accurately." The girl from the Zhao family took Jia Zhuo as her confidant sister, and even asked her doubts.

"When I was young, I heard that there is a kind of person in this world called Mengxian, who can dream about many things that will happen in the future when dreaming. But this kind of person, you can't remind her, once you tell the truth, she will wake up. It doesn’t work anymore. Not only does it not work, but if the gods get angry, they will punish those who tell the truth. So, don’t mention this matter again, just pretend you don’t know about it.”

After hearing these words, the girl from the Zhao family didn't dare to eat the ice bowl, she just stared at her blankly, covering her mouth with frightened hands, "Don't blame the gods, I'm not disrespectful, I just don't know."

"Don't blame those who don't know, the gods won't blame you for the past, but you don't want to go again in the future. Forget about the past, and we won't mention it again." Jia Zhuo put his arms around the Zhao family girl and kept going. Pat her on the back.

Bringing out the gods is really effective, the girl from the Zhao family firmly believes, Jia Zhuo secretly laughed, not to mention this time, even in another time and space where she lives, people still believe in the existence of gods even when spaceships go up to the sky.

But after secretly laughing, there is secret worry, if there is no time travel, Jia Zhuo is afraid that he will faint from fright, but now he calmly analyzes that Bai Xi may be a person who has been reborn once.

So she refused to marry the boss of the Zhao family, knowing that she and Ban'er would be engaged, that Qing'er would marry Li Hong, and that Jia Lan's future fate would be bad.

But, what was her fate in her previous life?Looking at Bai Xi's behavior, full of petty air, and calculating everywhere where it is not necessary, Jia Zhuo can only guess that maybe she had a bad life in her previous life.

The two went out after eating the ice bowl, and Jia Zhuo apologized to the little girls for her, "I'm really sorry, she was in trouble last night, so she just talked nonsense for a while, and she didn't know what she said. When you come back to your senses, you scared yourself."

The little girl didn't have to be unreasonable, and the girl who quarreled with the Zhao family girl also glanced sideways at the Zhao family girl, and said in a muffled voice, "I guess so, otherwise, how could you say such a thing."

"Yes, yes, it's all right, but don't let the elders know, otherwise it will be difficult to invite you out to play in the future." Qing'er took advantage of the opportunity to add, and everyone listened to this sentence.

Saying a gossip is more attractive than being able to come out to sit on customers. Of course, the latter is more attractive. Who would stop himself from going out to play just because of a dispensable gossip?

Jia Zhuo turned his head and gave Qing'er a look of approval. This girl is really getting smarter and smarter.

After coaxing this group of little ancestors, when the banquet called from outside arrived, the girl's family was a little embarrassed, "We come here often, every time we treat us like this, we feel embarrassed."

"What's the matter, the girl's house is full of petite guests, we can still afford a table. If you don't relax at this time, when will you relax?" Jia Zhuo smiled and asked people to put it on the table. The summer dishes are again for Xiao The girl's food is sweet and light, looking at the contrast of red and green, it is refreshing and refreshing, which makes people's index fingers move.

Jia Zhuo in another time and space is a person who is used to loosening his hands. He eats and drinks what he likes and is never soft.Here, what she wears is a bit different from what she used to wear, so she doesn't like to toss about it, but she is very particular about eating and drinking.

Ever since she had money in her hands, the dishes at home have never stopped, including fish, meat, eggs, and poultry, and snacks, pastries and sweets are available from time to time.Ever since I ate a bowl of crisp cheese in Shangdong Mansion, I went to several big restaurants, and I have to buy a few bowls every few days to supplement everyone's nutrition.

Qing'er knew that what Jia Zhuo said was really not polite, let alone slapping a swollen face to pretend to be fat.Inviting everyone to sit down, some people must envy her, "With such a sister-in-law, your life will be easier in the future."

"Look at what you said, if someone else is your sister-in-law, you won't be flattering Qing'er." Someone also joked.

"I don't want anyone else, I only recognize Miss Xiao Zhuo." Qing'er served soup for the little girls, the Wang family didn't have servants and maids, and not everyone in these girls' families had their own maids, only a few from the best families There are only personal maids to wait on, but when they arrived at Wang's house, the master's house had no servants, so they didn't bring them with them.

"It doesn't matter that you have no servants in your house, and the house is not deep, but there are few people, and it is easier than mine." Standing up to receive the sweet soup, the little girl took a sip of the sweet soup and sighed.

"Such a sweet soup can't stop your mouth. Let your mother find you a big house to marry tomorrow, so that you can race horses at home, okay?" There was a lot of laughter, and the two little girls stopped drinking their sweet soup and started fighting with each other.

Jia Zhuo left a few dishes for Mrs. Liu and grandma.With the busy work of this marriage, grandma and Mrs. Liu have endless things to say.Waiting for Ban'er to finish the year-end courtyard examination, and in the spring of the following year, he will start to renovate the yard and re-customize the furniture. When everything is ready, he will arrange the wedding.

"Xiaozhuo just eats with us, and you have to greet them when you go out. Where can I eat?" Grandma kept Xiaozhuo by her side, and told her how to take care of the dowry, what is affordable and what is not, How to take care of face when money is limited.

"I've remembered everything my grandma taught me. Qing'er and the others should finish eating. I'll go out and have a look."

As soon as Jia Zhuo left, grandma looked at Liu Shi and said with a smile, "I heard that someone is asking about our Qing'er."

"Yes, it's from Liujia Village, that is..."

Grandma frowned, and interrupted her: "If it was before, it would be fine if you married into Liujia Village. Now that our family is free, Baner can still study, don't you want your daughter to marry you as a mother?"

"Of course I didn't like it. Isn't it because I was afraid that the folks in the village would lose face, so I said that she is still young and not busy making noises?" Liu curled her lips aggrieved, "In my mother's heart, I am such a harsh biological child. Daughter."

"I'm not worried about you being harsh, but I'm worried that you will be moved by what people say." Grandma Liu smiled and patted her, "Qing'er is still young, let's take our time and we will always find someone who suits our wishes. "

"I don't worry if my mother decides." While talking, the little girl outside came to say goodbye to the two elders.

After sending them off, Qing'er pressed Jia Zhuo, "Rest quickly, I'll take care of the rest."

"Then I'll go to the backyard to have a look." Jia Zhuo went to the backyard. Doro was growing well, and it wasn't suitable for watering the soil in the afternoon. She just sat there, resting her chin and thinking about Bai Xi.I don't know if Bai Xi's existence will threaten her. If she had dealt with Jia Zhuo in her previous life, wouldn't it be surprising that she and Qiao Jie must have completely different temperaments.

What else does she know?Since she is willing to marry the third child of the Zhao family, it means that the third child of the Zhao family will not do too badly in the future.Let her think about it, what kind of business is the third son of the Zhao family doing.

Fur, the third child of the Zhao family is in the fur business. The Zhao family has a fur shop in Wannian County and Jinling, and the third child of the Zhao family is in charge.

What's so special about this, the entire Wannian County and Jinling combined, there are probably hundreds of fur shops.

A sparrow flew over and was chased away by Jia Zhuo with a feather duster. The sparrow turned its head and flew to the next yard with a chirp.

"Ma Meng, Li Hong, if Qing'er married Li Hong in the last life, and the whole family can live well, wouldn't it be..." Jia Zhuo deduced a terrible future, but it is very likely to be the truth.

It didn't occur to me that within a few days of Ma Meng, Li Hong knocked on the door of Wang's house.Surprised Jia Zhuo almost thought that Li Hong could know what other people were thinking.

"Brother Wang is there? He wrote a letter for me last time, and I want to trouble him this time." Li Hong touched his head in embarrassment and said to Jia Zhuo who came to open the door.

"Yes, yes." Li Hong picked the time when Ban'er was at home.

Ban'er invited him to talk in his room, and Jia Zhuo brought them tea.When Ban'er stepped forward to pick it up, he said with a serious face, "You should also stay and listen."

"What happened?" Jia Zhuo asked in a panic.

"Don't be nervous, there is an echo about the cotton thing last time. The cotton in Chaoping Prefecture may have gone to Wajima overseas."

"Changed to the Japanese knife?" Jia Zhuo couldn't lift it up in one breath, and pressed his chest to keep his heart from beating too fast.

The room was silent, just when Jia Zhuo was about to ask a question, Li Hong slapped his thigh, "Why didn't I think of that?"

"It seems very likely that Wa Island's products are not abundant, and the rations of its own people can't be grown. They all rely on being robbers at sea to rob houses. If there is anything that can be sold, it is only the Japanese sword." Ban'er also agreed. nod.

"Thank you for your help, Li Hong is very grateful, so I will leave first."

When Li Hong left, Jia Zhuo looked at the board in confusion, still not understanding what happened.

"You." Ban'er pursed his lips, gently pinched her chin with his fingers, and couldn't help but want to get close to her.

"Go away." Jia Zhuo lowered his head and slapped his hand, "I'm asking you something, what happened?"

There were thick calluses on Ban'er's fingertips, rubbing against her smooth face, there was a strange feeling.

"I can't remember anything." Ban'er lowered his head, he couldn't see anything else in his eyes, and pressed his lips gently, for fear of hurting her heart.Jia Zhuo sighed slightly in his heart, put his toes on his back and hooked his neck with his backhand, he always had a way to make himself unable to resist.Whether it's domineering, gentle, or as careful as it is now, she can't resist liking it.

After the summer, it came to the month of the early autumn township examination. It was very lively. The students wrote hard for fame and future. In the court, the imperial censor impeached Prince Zhongshun and sent the originally abundant cotton to Wajima in exchange for a large number of Japanese knives. Heart can be punished.

Prince Zhongshun has a lot of power in the court, many people defended him, Yushi threw something, "This is the daily climate record of Chaoping Mansion in the past year, the critical day of cotton production, the sky is bright and the sun is shining brightly, There is no half rain, so there is no reason to say that there is no harvest. So much cotton is missing, but there are a large number of sea ships docking. Prince Zhongshun's soldiers directly closed the pier to prevent anyone from approaching. A convoy of goods was transported to Prince Zhongshun's mansion. Don't get out of the car on the way, don't open the seal, such a treasure, can you tell us what it is?"

Except for Prince Zhongshun, who can answer this matter, someone justified, "Perhaps he did some business, and the goods were collected and scattered, where can they be found back. It is definitely wrong to compete with the people, but it is not enough to be impeached for his heart." It can be punished."

"Oh, then, will Lord Zhu be willing to vouch for Prince Zhongshun?" Yu Shi was aggressive, and looked at the people who were speaking to Prince Zhongshun.

Of course no one dared to, just lowered his head and said righteously: "I don't have the same knowledge as you."

What I thought in my heart was, what if?Based on Prince Zhongshun's character, no one would dare to guarantee him.

There was a lot of trouble in the court, and the emperor naturally issued a decree to let Prince Zhongshun bring his son to Beijing to defend.

Before Prince Zhongshun set off, pirates from Wa Island invaded, Prince Zhongshun's son went to Beijing, and he commanded his own soldiers to patrol the coastal defense.

This incident happened suddenly, which also caused a change in the wind in the court. The imperial censor and the ministers who defended Prince Zhongshun didn't dare to speak out.

If there is no collusion between Haikou and Prince Zhongshun, how could it be such a coincidence that he has something to go to Beijing, so you will commit the crime.

Prince Zhongshun's son came quickly, crying in front of the emperor and almost out of breath, saying that if the pirates colluded with Prince Zhongshun's mansion, the offender at this time is not clearly giving someone a handle.The prince has lived in his sixties and experienced two dynasties, so he can't be so stupid.

"Your Majesty is powerful in the world, and you are subject to all directions. How can you be a minister? How dare fireflies compete with the sun and the moon. Moreover, the palace has five thousand personal guards, and there is no expansion of one soldier. Guangjing City has a multiple of this. The [-] generals have not yet left Chaoping Mansion, and I am afraid they will be wiped out."

"Okay, a big man, what does he look like crying. Pirates have been in trouble since ancient times. When your father comes, just listen to his opinion on how to get rid of these Japanese island pirates."

The emperor spoke kindly, but he refused to let the prince go back, he clearly wanted to wait for Prince Zhongshun to come to Jinling.

While the son was moving around in Jinling, the Japanese pirates on the seashore were attacking more and more fiercely.Prince Zhongshun asked the emperor to send troops to support him several times, but the emperor did not move, and the memorial was not issued.

A minister in the court asked the emperor to send troops, but the emperor shook his head, "However, the three pirates will not be able to make a fortune. There are soldiers in Chaoping Prefecture, and there are five thousand soldiers of Prince Zhongshun. How can it be impossible to deal with a few pirates."

"But the pirates are different this time. They marched in a large scale and robbed the forts of several seaside clans as their strongholds. It is very dangerous to advance and retreat or defend." The minister had a different opinion and said.

"Can the nearby Kangnan government soldiers rush to help first." A minister suggested.

"Yes." The emperor finally agreed.

The imperial decree sent out in a hurry at Babaili shocked many people, and even Jinling, who was singing and dancing, was shocked that there was another war outside.

"It's really coming ashore, and Uncle Wang is really organizing people to resist?" The man sitting high on the dragon chair in the hall where there was no eunuch and maid quietly said to himself.

"Yes, Prince Zhongshun didn't dare to leave without permission. He was indeed afraid that people's hearts would be unstable. Only by staying in Chaoping Mansion can the people feel at ease." In the darkness, a figure appeared. No one knew where he came from, just like a shadow Unobtrusively unobtrusive.

"That's true." On the dragon chair, the emperor didn't look down at the man in black standing above him, but just looked out of the window, thinking to himself.

"At least, the subordinates can't tell it's fake." The man in black added.

"How many pirates can there be? What do the soldiers of Chaoping Mansion do for food?" After confirming the authenticity of this matter, he began to get angry.

"The government soldiers haven't fought for many years, and their bravery has long been unfamiliar. It seems that they are not as brave as Prince Zhongshun's personal soldiers." The man in black thought, although he offended people, what he said was indeed true.

"How many troops are there in Chaoping Mansion? How many pirates are there?"

The man in black clasped his fists, "The garrison should be 1. The number of pirates is unknown, but it should be counted in thousands."

"Should?" The emperor grasped the key sensitively.

"Subordinate..." Hei Yi smiled wryly, not knowing how to speak.

"Say." The emperor's coercion came to his face, and the man in black turned over and fell to his knees.

"According to my subordinates, there are less than 3000 people."

Needle drop could be heard in the main hall, and after half a sound, a tea tray carved with lacquer filled with golden cloud and dragon's birthday on the table was thrown to the ground and turned into powder.

The man in black bowed and left quietly.When the eunuch came in, what he saw was the emperor alone in the hall, angrily throwing the things on the table all over the floor, the sound of ping-pong-pong was endless.

"On the contrary, do they still have me in their eyes? It's no wonder that a few refugees can turn the world upside down. There are only three out of ten soldiers in the government. The troops are insufficient and neglected to practice. My country is left to be guarded by these moths. Not a joke."

The eunuch shrunk his head so much that it almost stuck to his stomach, hating himself for coming in at this time, neither advancing nor retreating, so he lowered his head, silently, and quickly cleaned up the things on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Prince Zhongshun hastened the memorial." Someone finally broke the silence, and the eunuch was almost tearful of gratitude.

"Send it up." The emperor opened his mouth, and the eunuch, like Feng Lun's voice, quickly took the memorial, handed it to the case, and quietly withdrew.

Prince Zhongshun detailed the military situation in the memorial, and also slightly mentioned the matter of the government soldiers. Of course, what he said was not as straightforward as the man in black, but it was enough to make people understand the meaning.

"I have received the emperor's kindness, and I have nothing to repay. I am willing to use my old body to guard the coastal defense for the emperor... I am considerate of my father's heart, and hope that the emperor will place him in the capital so that I will not worry about the future. The matter of the government soldiers will be discussed later. Now The only way to gather troops is to quickly wipe out the pirates, otherwise they will be allowed to occupy them, and the sea ships will come again later, and the more people there are, the more difficult it may be to encircle and suppress."

The memorial actually offered to let the son stay in the capital, and finally said the whereabouts of the cotton in his fiefdom.It was he who taught his son poorly, and let his youngest son spend extravagantly, so he even contracted the bad habit of gambling and owed huge debts.He was at a loss for what to do, and he didn't want to make his family scandal public, so he reported the damage to the cotton after collecting it, and shipped it outside to exchange for local goods to pay off the gambling debt.

He was also afraid that people would know and make fun of him, so he played it mysteriously, but he didn't expect that it would make people slander him out of nothing.

He also confessed his heart several times, he is old, deeply trusted by the emperors of the two dynasties, a very prince enjoys a fief, he has been content with pleasure since he was young, and the rumors slandering him outside are really trying to provoke him.

When the pirate rebellion subsides this time, he is willing to pass on the position of prince to his son, and settle down in the prince's mansion in Jinling by himself.

It has to be said that what the man in black saw with his own eyes, and Prince Zhongshun's reasonable confession, removed four points from the five points in the emperor's mind.The rest is probably that as an emperor, he is naturally wary of anyone.
