Dai Yuxin says

Shui Rong grinned and said: "She is almost 70 years old, and her temper has long been worn away by the years. I have lived with the master for 15 years, and I rarely see her coming to the master, and I have never heard of her talking with the master. I said a few words. She has been living alone in the cave opposite us, playing chess with herself every day, or staring at the sky in a daze, I always feel that she is very pitiful."

"I really hope that your senior sister can be with the second sister. If the second sister has your senior sister, she will no longer be afraid that someone will dare to bully the second sister. But does your master want her to come?" Daiyu asked with a smile .

"Yes, as long as I go to pick it up, the master will definitely let the senior sister go down the mountain. I once heard the master say that he was too strict with her before, so that the senior sister hated him and didn't want to have more contact with him. If time can be turned back, Master will definitely not. Yu'er, I promise you won't hate my senior sister after meeting her." Shui Rong said confidently.

Later, Shui Rong really took the time to go to Mount Zhongnan, but he didn't see his senior sister, because not long after Shui Rong went down the mountain, his senior sister also quietly went down the mountain.

After taking a nap at noon, Mother Jia opened her eyes and saw Wang Xifeng sitting beside her bed with her head bowed, not as lively as usual, looking completely out of her wits.

Facing the bright light outside the window, Jia Mu saw Wang Xifeng from the side with a sad face, staring straight at the ground, as if in a daze.

"I slept really well this time. How long have you been here?" Mother Jia asked, sitting up from the bed.

Wang Xifeng turned her head and saw Jiamu woke up. She hurriedly accompanied her smiling face, helping Yuanyang to serve Jiamu, and replied casually: "Not long after I arrived, I saw my ancestor fell asleep, so I didn't dare to disturb her. I just wanted to sit beside my ancestor for a while. .”

Mother Jia stretched out her warm hand from under the quilt, took Xifeng's slightly cold hand, and said with a smile: "It's the year of the year and the festival, you must not be cold, you should wear more clothes, don't worry about it for the sake of it." It looks good, but it won’t be good if you don’t wear it too much and get cold.”

Jia Muluo talked long and hard, seeing that Xifeng was not the same as before, she seemed to have something on her mind.

She thought it was Jia Lian who was stealing and messing around with women again, making Xifeng jealous and worried, she looked at Wang Xifeng with concern, smiled and whispered her own words, and comforted her: "I said Feng girl, don't think too much, what young man Not like a greedy cat, which man didn’t come here when he was young? Your main house is a piece of iron, and no one can touch you. Those whores, if you look good, stay and serve you, see who No, just type it out. It’s almost Chinese New Year, you have to be happy and don’t think about those annoying things.”

It was obvious that Jia's mother was speaking frankly to the proud granddaughter-in-law in front of her.In fact, I am comforting myself to muddle along, hoping that in my lifetime, I can open my eyes and close my eyes, and enjoy myself peacefully day by day.

"The old lady's lesson is that the granddaughter-in-law also wants to do what the old ancestor said. However, the old man's doing things really confuse the granddaughter-in-law, and she can't live this year happily." Wang Xifeng cried in a low voice. Complain about suffering.

When Jia Mu heard this, she didn't say anything for a long time.

She knew that if her eldest son Jia She hadn't made too much trouble, Wang Xifeng, as a daughter-in-law, would not have complained in front of her grandmother.

"Hey! Your father-in-law is really outrageous. If you don't do well as an official, you don't know how to take good care of your body. All day long, one wife and one wife are messing around in the house. He is a man in his dozen years, and I am in front of you. In front of a daughter-in-law, it's not easy to talk about him." Jia Mu said with difficulty, rubbed Wang Xifeng's hand with her hand, and comforted: "Don't pay attention to them, just ignore yours."

This can be regarded as Jia Mu's words are in place, Wang Xifeng feels that it is not good to say more.

Not to mention, my 1000 taels of silver are not even as good as floating in water, because you can still hear a sound when you are floating in water.

She looked at Jia's mother unwillingly, and said in a low voice, "Before lunch today, the Eldest Master didn't say why, but he insisted on giving him 1000 taels of silver before noon tomorrow. He said that if the delivery was late, It will cost the second master's life. I have to ask the second master to get money for him every three days, and my dowry is all replaced with silver, how long can I last?"

Mother Jia was startled when she heard this, she couldn't figure out what Jia Amnesty wanted so much money for.

After thinking for a while, he said to Wang Xifeng, "I'll send someone to find your father-in-law in a while, and ask him what he wants to use the money for."

Seeing that Mother Jia's trembling hands were trembling, Wang Xifeng hurriedly said, "Don't tell the old man to come over. The granddaughter-in-law has faintly heard that the old man was injured. I heard that he broke two ribs."

When Jia Mu heard this, she beat the edge of the bed, shed old tears, and said anxiously and distressed: "What's the matter? How could such a thing happen to such a young man? What a shame!"

Good things don't go out, bad things travel thousands of miles.

Even though Jia Amnesty told Mrs. Xing that he was not allowed to mention the matter of him going to Yingchun, Jia's mother still knew about it.

In the evening, Mother Jia was sitting in a sedan chair with 1000 taels of silver bills in her arms, and asked Yuanyang to come to Dongfu with supplements. Seeing Jia Amnesty, she first scolded him.

Jia Amnesty was lying on the bed, and after pleading guilty to Mother Jia, he said, "My son wanted to welcome her to the Jia family after all, and he couldn't bear to live outside. Who would have thought that the dead girl not only did not come back, she found someone to beat her own father severely, not to mention that, she also wanted to pay her 1000 taels of silver to make amends. If she didn’t give her money, the man uttered harsh words, saying It was at night to kill my son. My son also figured it out, so he gave her 1000 taels of silver to buy peace of mind. If anything happens to her in the future, I will be worthy of her by giving birth to her."

The pampered Jia She said his words beautifully, but he was actually really scared of being beaten, and even more afraid of losing his life at night.

After hearing this, Jia's mother rolled her old eyes, stared at Jia She and asked, "Are you really going to give Ying girl 1000 taels of silver?"

Jia Amnesty nodded and replied: "I am also her dear father. She is ruthless to me, and I don't want to be unkind to her. I have already asked Lian'er to prepare money, and I will send it to her before noon tomorrow. In the future , I can't control whether she is dead or alive."

"It's not bad for you to think so. Ying girl has no temper since she was a child, and she never thought that she could attack her own father now. It's really unexpected! She and Lin girl are the best friends, so you don't want to provoke her anymore. Cong'er is still young, and his mother is gone. The eldest sister is better than his mother, so I will let Cong'er go to his second sister's place in the future, and his direct sister will help take care of him, isn't he more careful than you, my father?" Mother Jia looked It seems to say casually, but in fact it has been foresighted.

Ginger is still old and hot, and Jia's mother wants to take a roundabout tactic and let Yingchun's half-brother come forward. If Yingchun can feel sorry for Jia Cong and not reject Jia Cong, then he can try to start with Jia Yingchun. I hope to use this to build a bridge to Yuyuan, pry open the ice with Daiyu again, and restore the broken family relationship.

A selfish person always thinks that she is the smartest, and others will be like a fool, and the puppet is at her mercy.

What about the facts?

Jia Cong is a bastard, but the youngest son of his father, Jia She, looks very much like Jia She when he was young, and he is deeply loved by Jia She.

This Jia Cong was not like Baoyu Jiahuan, who was locked up tightly by Lao Tzu. He had read some books and could write a few words.

He was raised by Jia She in a free-range family. He can't read much, but he is good at horse fighting and cockfighting.

He heard Jia Mu and Jia She say that the days of Yingchun were going well, and he seemed to have some money in his hand, so he liked it very much.

Based on his understanding of Yingchun, he felt that it shouldn't be difficult to get some money from the cowardly second sister.

He devised a little strategy, first of all, he moved Yingchun with affection, so that Yingchun would sympathize with this younger brother who was born in the same way, and only wished to give the best of the money.

If you can't be soft enough, let your friends harass Yingchun, and then you can be a hero to save your sister. It's better to suffer some insignificant injuries in time, so that Ermutou sister can feel sorry for yourself, and then you can live in Qiuyuan forever. Until the things that welcome the spring are fished out.

The next day, Yingchun had just finished her breakfast and was sitting in the study looking at the monthly account of the store's entry and exit. My sister took me in."

Yingchun looked at Jia Cong, and said indifferently: "You are the young master of Jia's house, and I am the water poured out of Jia's house. Haven't you heard of 'overwhelming water is hard to recover'? I have nothing to do with you." Saying that, Yingchun shouted : "Come here, let this person go."

When Jia Cong heard this, he looked at Yingchun as if he were a stranger, and said angrily, "Second Sister, I am your own brother anyway, how can you be so ruthless?"

"Nonsense! What kind of friendship do I have with you people from the Jia family? How can I not know you? Go back and tell your father, this time I only broke two ribs, be careful next time I break two legs." Yingchun's two eyes are beating with two balls of fire, which makes people feel a little startled.

Two women came into the room, without saying a word, they stepped forward and dragged Jia Cong outside.

Jia Cong's cold voice of Yingchun came from Jia Cong's ear: "Remember, you must watch the door tighter for me in the future, no matter whether he is true or not, he is not allowed to come in. Next time this happens, I will I will send you to the northwest and serve as slaves to the armored men."

Cold sweat broke out on Jia Cong's body when he heard this, he didn't expect Yingchun to say such words.

He didn't dare to stay any longer, he didn't want his wife to push and push him, so he hurried away, thinking: It seems that this Er Mumu sent someone to break Dad's ribs, it's better not to find it boring.

I dare not use any of the strategies I thought of when I came here.

This Jia Cong really inherited Jia She's mantle: the soft ones bully, the hard ones fear, and persimmons only pick the soft ones.

In the past few days, Emperor Shuijing was the happiest, eradicating the nearly century-old Northwest disaster in his own hands.

In the morning, he received Li Yuanba, the surrendered Northwest rebel general, and his two sons in the Hall of Qinzheng.

Looking at Li Yuanba's two tiger-headed and tiger-headed sons, especially his eldest son Li Honghao, people like it very much.

He couldn't help but asked Li Yuanba: "The more I look at this child, the more I like him. Is he not engaged?"

"Reporting to the emperor, we are not engaged yet." Li Yuanba stood up and replied.

"Oh, if the Qing family has no objections, I have a daughter who is eight years old this year. How about we be in-laws in the future?" Shui Jing asked with a questioning slip of the tongue with a smile.

Li Yuanba's eyes lit up with liking, he pulled his son to kneel on the ground, kowtowed and said, "That's kind! It's a great honor to have Tian's daughter as a wife!"

Looking at the mirror in the water, Li Honghao thought of Daiyu he met on the bank of the Yellow River, and his heart was agitated. Tong Yan asked unscrupulously, "Is the princess like a fairy sister?"

Shui Jing was taken aback, not knowing how to answer the child's question.Li Yuanba patted him on the head vigorously, and reprimanded him: "Of course all the princesses of the Tian family are like gods."

"Dong dong dong..." Li Honghao kowtowed several times sincerely, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Shui Jing chatted with Li Yuanba, and felt that this Northwest man was very forthright and sincerely submitted to the imperial court.

In order to use the barbarians to control the barbarians and win over Li Yuanba, Shui Jing accepted his son Shui Rong's suggestion, not only did not convict him at all, but also granted Li Yuanba the Marquis of Jing'an, who will be permanently stationed in the northwest of the court to protect the health of the border people.

Li Yuanba exchanged tears of gratitude, and asked the emperor to allow him to buy a house in the capital. When the spring warmed up, he wanted to send his parents to the capital to support their old age.He also wanted his two sons to enter the Imperial College in the capital to receive education, learn the culture of the Central Plains, and be able to serve the court better when they grow up.

When Shui Jing heard the words, the dragon's heart was overjoyed.

Li Yuanba's request, Shui Jing was exactly what he wanted, and someone gave him a pillow if he really wanted to sleep.

Shui Jing happily transferred the house that had been taken back to Prince Teng's family to Li Yuanba, Marquis of Jing'an, and instructed the Ministry of Rites to send someone to help Li Yuanba clean up the house quickly so that they could move in before the new year.

When Li Yuanba bid farewell to Shui Jing and left, Shui Jing stepped down from the throne, touched Li Honghao's head, and encouraged with a smile: "In the future, don't be homesick in the capital, but study hard. I'm still waiting for you to grow up and be my son." son-in-law."

The old enemy in the past has become a friend today, and he is actually the in-laws of the future children.

Li Yuanba spoke sincerely to the emperor and completely surrendered to the court.

Emperor Shui Jing was completely relieved of Northwest.

Immediately afterwards, a good news came from Gerqin.

The army left by Shui Rong in the northwest, in accordance with the strategic policy formulated by Shui Rong, the court's [-] cavalry led by General Feihu, plus the surrendered Li Yuanba's [-] cavalry, adopted lightning tactics, and when the enemy was unaware, , He captured Gerqin in one fell swoop, and captured Gerqin's two capable sons alive.

Now, General Feihu is braving the wind and snow to escort the prisoners to the capital.

The report has been placed on the Shuijinglong case, and the captives of Gerqin will arrive in the capital in a few days.

The external troubles have been eliminated, and the next step is to start to solve the internal troubles.

Shui Jing brought her two most proud sons, and the father and son sat in the East Nuan Pavilion of the Palace of Qinzheng.

The warm winter sun shines through the window lattice, making Dongnuan Pavilion very bright.

Shui Jing's deep eyes looked lovingly at the two beloved sons in front of him, the rulers of the future country.

He asked with a smile full of joy: "For the time being, the country's foreign aggression is nothing to worry about, and internal worries still remain.

If internal troubles are not eliminated, it will affect the foundation of the country.I brought you two brothers here today just to hear your thoughts. "

After Shui Jing finished speaking, both sons bowed their heads and remained silent.

Then he laughed and said, "Why don't you speak? Rong'er, you are the boss, so you should speak first."

Shui Rong hurriedly stood up and bowed to Shui Jing.

"Rong'er, what are you doing? There are only my father and son here, and there are no outsiders. Why do you have to be so serious?" Shui Jing stretched out his hand to signal for the water to dissolve, it was unnecessary.

Shui Rong said seriously: "Father, my son has been away from Beijing for many years, and he has been living in the deep mountains and old forests. He has developed a peaceful mind. Dealing with foreign troubles in the country and fighting the enemy face to face are his strengths. He is confident and capable of winning. To deal with internal worries and face hidden enemies, Haier really lacks this kind of way of governing the country, so he dare not say more."

Shui Jing listened, and smiled very comfortably: "You child, you are very self-aware? Can't you learn it? As the auxiliary prince, you not only have to be good at dealing with the country's foreign troubles and solving the court's internal troubles, you also have to deal with it. Responsibility."

Shui Rong stood up, clasped his fists in both hands, and said with a loud smile: "Father taught me a lesson, the child must obey his father's order. Since he was born in the royal family, he must always remember his responsibilities. Assisting the father and the prince is to consolidate the country and society. , to make my due contribution. If there are foreign enemies in trouble, the child will go through fire and water to relieve the king's worries. If there are internal thieves in chaos, as long as the father orders, the child will definitely take the head of the internal thief and present it to the emperor. In front of the emperor."

Shui Jing laughed happily and said: "You, I understand your thoughts. Except for major matters that endanger the country and the country, you are unwilling to participate in general government affairs. You are so narrow-minded, you don't even know your father. You only want to live a peaceful life with Yu'er in the future, right? Well, the emperor won't embarrass you anymore. Che'er, there is no important matter in the future, and you are not allowed to disturb Rong'er's purity. This is the solution to internal worries. Che'er can figure out a way to solve it by himself. If you encounter difficulties, just speak out, and your father will help you. If your father can't help you, you can find your brother Rong'er again."

Shui Che felt unprecedented joy in his heart, he walked up to Shui Jing, and bowed respectfully.

Walking in front of Shui Rong again, he also bowed respectfully and called out "Brother!"

Shui Rong held Shui Che's hand, grinned, and laughed honestly.

Shui Jing also stood up, held the hands of the two brothers tightly, and laughed happily: "Brothers are of the same mind, and their benefits can cut through gold. Seeing that your brothers are so friendly, I feel that I am really the happiest father in the world, and I am also the happiest father in the world." A blessed emperor who is rare in the world."

When poultry are slaughtered, they will bounce around and struggle for their lives, let alone the most spiritual people?

When people are at the end of the road, they will also put all their eggs in one basket, hoping to survive the desperate situation.

The more desperate you are, the more you will struggle crazily, hoping to kill a bloody path and the brave will win.

Ever since Shui Che returned to the court safe and sound, King Geerqin was arrested, and the seventh prince committed suicide. Although Prince Yi and his brothers were fine, they were like birds of fright in their hearts, and that heart hung day and night.

The two brothers are now in an extremely depressed mood, and they always feel that there are a pair of bright eyes behind them, staring at themselves in the dark.

Especially Prince Yi, he felt that his political future was already in darkness, and his fate was like a setting sun like blood. It seemed that the halo of his prince was still brilliant, but in fact it was just the bleak beauty before the setting sun fell.

The end of the year is approaching, and the queen's illness still hasn't improved, she is still recuperating in Kunning Palace behind closed doors, and the emperor still doesn't allow anyone to disturb her.

A while ago, Prince Yi devoted himself wholeheartedly to the battle for the crown prince, and had no time to worry about his mother's illness.

The fifth prince was sick at home, saying that he was afraid that he would pass on his sickness to the queen and increase the queen's condition, so he did not visit the queen.

In fact, the royal kinship is nothing compared to power!

Now, Prince Yi has confirmed that he and the crown prince have just passed by, and he has no hope of taking the crown prince again.

He had to hibernate again, pretending that he was an idle prince who had nothing to do with the world.

He couldn't help but pick up the warm veil of family affection again, and put it on his melancholy face, so as to cover up his lost and painful face.

This morning, Prince Yi came to Kunning Palace with precious tonics, and saw that the vermilion gate of Kunning Palace was closed tightly, and the guards guarding the gate stopped him, the prince, with a sullen face. He said coldly: "The emperor has orders, the queen's phoenix body needs to rest, and no one should disturb her."

"I just want to go in and see the queen mother, and send some supplements to the mother. I am the queen mother's son, so I am not considered an outsider." Prince Yi felt that his mother, named Xiu Xiu, was imprisoned.

He also went to the imperial physician in private and asked about the queen's condition, but the imperial physician just avoided the seriousness and said that the empress was overworked, heart failure, and could no longer be influenced by the outside world, otherwise, her life would be in jeopardy.

He was dubious after hearing this, and he knew more or less about his biological mother.

Over the years, his mother had indeed spent a lot of effort for her own status and power. He believed that she had heart failure.

However, even his own son couldn't go in to see her, which really made him suspect that there was a big problem.

He wanted to ask the emperor to understand, but he didn't dare.

Based on his years of observation and research on the emperor, he knows that the emperor treats his children with kindness and kindness on the surface, but in reality he is suspicious and fickle. Where is the father?It can be said that he is a ruthless executioner who kills without blood.

Prince Yi was careful, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

But if he didn't find out the facts, he really didn't feel at ease.

So, he finally made a bold decision.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, at midnight, the capital was silent.

This night, the wind didn't blow, the trees didn't shake, and even the dogs crawled in their dens and didn't bark.

The ground that has just snowed is thick and slippery with ice, and people walk on it, staggering.

The people on night duty in the palace did not dare to be lazy, and looked at the tall red wall of Kunning Palace with vigilant eyes.

Suddenly, the person on duty at night noticed a black shadow passing outside Kunning Palace.

The black shadow quickly rushed to the queen's bedroom, quietly dormant outside the window of the queen's bedroom.

The people on duty at night strictly followed the emperor's secret decree, kept quiet and did not arrest, but quietly followed the shadow.
