Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Jia Hu was wandering on the road, but suddenly saw Zhou Ruhai sprinting towards a direction with his body bowed. Jia Hu has always had a good memory, even though Zhou Ruhai is now in disguise, he can clearly see that the person in front of him is Zhou Ruhai, the chief executive.

Zhou Ruhai is the emperor's personal prisoner. Now that he is here, will the emperor be far behind?Jia Hu followed without hesitation, and sure enough, he found the emperor in a white dragon fish suit, leading people wandering in the street.

The opportunity cannot be missed, Jia Hu naturally cannot let go of such a good opportunity to face the Holy Spirit directly, but if he rushed forward to say hello like this, it would seem that he is flattering and too powerful, and it will cause dissatisfaction with the emperor, which is not beautiful .

Jia Hu saw the opportunity. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he followed the people all the way along the path, estimated the destination of the other party, and finally entered the Zhuyi Tea House. He was simply lucky, and he actually guessed the purpose of the emperor and his party correctly. land.

Zhuyi Tea House is one of the places where literati like to gather and talk about state affairs. Today, many people are arguing endlessly about the northern barbarians invading the border. The imperial treasury is empty. Gu?Could it be that the imperial court just watched the border people suffer and just ignored it?

Jia Hu wanted to go to the army, how could he let go of this opportunity, even if he knew it was too abrupt, he had to express his views. "Strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness", the military generals in the DPRK and China may not have come up with this plan, but such a strong man cut his wrists and completely abandoned the plan of the upcoming harvest, the loss is too great.But after thinking about it, it is still a way to delay time in desperation.

Without food and grass, how long can the barbarians hold out even if their cavalry is strong?The imperial army could not shrink back, Jia Hu believed that as long as the backup was in place, even if it dragged on for a year or so, the barbarians would not be able to break through the city!

The winter in the north is very cold, and Mandi has no food and grass, and countless people will die of freezing and starvation. In the coming year, the affairs in the south of the Yangtze River will calm down. The enemy's casualties in winter, our side has the upper hand.

It's just that this plan is to give up most of the farmland on the northern border and move the people into the customs. It is indeed a huge plan, and it will consume countless manpower and material resources.

However, Jia Hu believed: "Our dynasty has a vast territory, simple folk customs, and hardworking people. If there are people who move into the pass, the court will preside over the relief of work, which will just allow the people to build a road from the capital to the border for wartime use. It’s killing two birds with one stone.”

Watching Jia Hu argue with the students, the emperor couldn't help but nodded slightly. Although the plan was bold, there were still some omissions, but at such a young age, it was not easy to think of so many things.It is a material that can be made.

But it just looks familiar.

"It seems like I saw it there." The emperor knocked on the table, thinking back, where did he see it?

Zhou Ruhai recognized this person, and reminded in a low voice: "Master forgot, this is the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, the previous Tanhualang, Jia Xiuzhuan, Master Jia."

The emperor remembered: "Is it the companion of the fourth child? Jia Amnesty's son?"

Zhou Ruhai nodded and smiled apologetically: "Master Shengming, isn't he the former companion of the Fourth Highness?"

The emperor looked at Jia Hu, and thought of Jia She, who he met when he went out with the second prince, he couldn't help laughing, "His father is a good one." He looked Jia Hu up and down, "This kid is not bad." Thinking of it, Jia Hu's master was Xu Wei, Grand Master Xu, "Xu Qing taught me a good apprentice."

Zhou Ruhai was silent and didn't speak. At this time, his master was just talking to himself, not talking to these slaves.

Sure enough, the emperor didn't need them to answer. He paused, thinking that his fourth son, who had gone to Jiangnan, was the first to report the reports from Jiangnan. At that time, he had grown up enough to help him share his worries about political affairs. The things he did in Jiangnan were quite remarkable.This Jia Hu used to be the fourth student's companion. I heard that the friendship is not bad, but it seems that he has some skills.It is said that things of a kind flock together and people are divided into groups. If the fourth child is surrounded by such talents, I can consider it, and give the fourth child more errands to do in the future.

After watching for a while, I saw that some students had potential, and asked Zhou Ruhai to write them down. When the time came, he would inquire whose children they were, stood up and left—he came here today for a private visit, in order to learn more about people’s sentiments. Naturally, we need to see more places.

Of course Jia Hu saw the actions of their party, but he didn't do anything. It was too late. His behavior had obviously left an impression on the emperor. The gain outweighs the loss.

As soon as the people left, Jia Hu sat patiently for a long time, until all the students were tired, and then left with everyone.It's just that he didn't want to go back to the mansion, but drove directly to Xu's house.

When he arrived at Xu's house, he didn't hide anything, and told Xu Wei everything that happened today: "I don't know if my disciple has behaved today, but I don't know whether it will win the emperor's heart or not."

Xu Wei knew Jia Hu's intention to enter the army, but he didn't agree, but he didn't know how to persuade Jia Hu. Hearing that he was so adventurous today, he said bluntly: "My parents are here, so I won't travel far away. , you are your parents' heart, don't you know? You are obsessed with ghosts, and you are determined to go to the battlefield where the sword has no eyes! Just to glorify the lintel, you were born in a family, and you were born in the imperial examination. Your father-in-law and I will do the same. Helping you behind your back, as long as it takes time, why don't you worry about the prosperity of Rongguo Mansion? Why are you determined to go to the battlefield because of the foil?! Can you do such an impulsive career today? You Are you afraid that the emperor will find out and punish you for deceiving the emperor?! Do you know that if you pass by Xingzang today and are hated by the emperor, your future future will be ruined!"

Jia Hu listened to Xu Wei's admonition with his head down, and didn't refute. He only waited for him to finish before explaining: "The disciple knows that the master is dedicated to me, but the Rongguo Mansion built the mansion with military merit. In the past, I especially remember the scene where the grandfather was alive and the guests gathered in the mansion. The ancestors only have glory.

No matter how dissatisfied Xu Wei is with such a high-sounding reason, Xu Wei can't say anything about it. Of course, this is just a reasonable excuse for Jia Hu to conceal his ambition to fight in the battlefield.

Seeing the obstinate face of the proud disciple, Xu Wei thought about it for a long time, he tried to persuade him, scolded him, but he didn't listen, so he could only sigh at this moment: "You child, why are you so stubborn? "In the end, he agreed. When he goes to court tomorrow, he must make insinuations to see what the emperor thinks of Jia Hu. "At that time, I will pretend not to know, and mention your strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness. Just look at the emperor's reaction." Xu Wei glanced at Jia Hu angrily. Knock this kid's head well to see what's inside. He's young, he has a lot of eyes, but he's still stubborn. Ten cows won't be able to pull back the things he's decided on.

Jia Hu bowed and thanked: "Please trouble master."

Xu Wei stared at him for a while, deliberately not telling him to get up, while Jia Hu just kept bending over there, respectfully, without trembling at all.Xu Wei thought of the heroism of the two generations of the Jia family who killed the enemy on the battlefield, and sighed helplessly.It seems that this kid Jia Hu reads like a foreigner, but he also inherited his grandfather's talent for martial arts. He is young and good at martial arts, so it's no wonder that he wants to go to the battlefield.Forget it, the child has made up his mind, and he can't stop it by himself, so what's the point of pissing people off here.Waving his hand: "Okay, let's go, seeing you here, I will come up in a breath."

"Disciple, please trouble master." Jia Hu saluted and walked out of the door. When he reached the door, he heard Xu Wei say in a deep voice behind him, "Get married early. Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. If you get married early, your parents will feel better." If the good news can be spread early, there will be an emergency on the battlefield... "You child, you are too stubborn." Why did you think of going to the army?

Jia Hu was really grateful this time, and Xu Wei's words were obviously biased towards him.With his noble and noble personality, he said that he was sorry for the girl - this girl is still a child of a close friend's family - it can be seen that Jia Hu has a lot of weight in his heart.

Jia Hu came back to his senses, and sincerely bowed to Xu Wei: "The disciple asked the master to worry, the master is at ease, the disciple will come back safely, and I will honor the master in the future."

Xu Wei shook his head, didn't say much, just let him go.

Jia Hu knew that this old man regarded himself as his own flesh and blood. As he said, swords have no eyes on the battlefield. If you are not careful, you will die on the border and die by the enemy's sword. This old man is deeply afraid that he will suffer such a bad luck , which was repeatedly blocked.It's not that Jia Hu doesn't miss his kind heart, but in his bones, the blood eager to go to the battlefield and fight against the enemy has already boiled, and even in his dream, his body flew to the outside of the Qilian Mountains, turning into That Yang Jiaerlang hundreds of years ago was wearing armor and wielding a long spear. The tip of the spear was glowing white with fine iron, and the red tassels tied on it had already been soaked in blood...

It was his fault to make the elders worry about it, but the wishes accumulated in those two lifetimes made him understand that if he didn't go through this one, he would never be reconciled in this lifetime.

All his dreams in the past, making contributions and becoming famous all over the world, always let him have a try.

He promises to be willful only once.

Xu Wei's objection was still in his ears, and Jia Hu suddenly remembered Tu Youhao's firm support and encouragement to him when he talked about this with Tu Youhao that day.Speaking of which, so far, he is the first and only one who has not been surprised or stopped, on the contrary, he has been firmly supporting him.

Being friends for more than ten years is really not in vain, Jia Hu thought, there is one person who knows his ambitions and ideals, and is willing to stand behind him and support him.

How could he, Jia Hu, have such a confidant as Tu Youhao in this life?

Jia Hu was still sighing, but he didn't know that thousands of miles away, the confidant in his heart was facing a catastrophe of life and death at this moment.

"Master!" The exclamation of the guards and the noise of beeping when the wood was burning, the burning sensation of the fire seemed a bit blurred, the air was a little distorted by the high temperature, and the window lattice was shattered with a bang. It was so burned that it fell and hit the ground with a muffled sound.

Tu Youhao was only wearing a middle coat, carefully avoiding the sparks everywhere, and moved towards the outside of the house bit by bit.

In the dark night sky, I saw a small building bursting with flames. A group of people stood outside the building and shouted loudly. Someone kept bringing water to put out the fire...
