An old lady's life

In the dead of night, in the forest, in the three tented houses, a group of teenagers who thought they would not be able to sleep, fell asleep with tears in their eyes, and did not notice the movement made by the soldiers coming in to check.

On the Rongfu side, Mrs. Zhang and Jia She were tossing and turning on the bed, unable to fall asleep. In the dark night, the couple looked into each other's eyes and remained silent for a long time.

When Hongye came back from the outside, it was past midnight.

At night, after the lights were turned off in the Rong Mansion, she ran to see the military academy in the same direction. When she arrived, the students had just finished washing. Most of them were eating in the dining hall, and a small number of them were washing their clothes by the river.

Seeing Jia Lian grunting and rubbing his little buttocks, putting a lot of soap on one piece of clothing, the others followed suit. It took about half an hour for a group of six people to wash their clothes and pants.

Hongye knew four of them.The other two, if he read correctly, should be the eleventh or twelve princes.She knew that Jia She asked King Zhaojun to divide Jia Lian and Zhang Ruiqian together, but she never thought that King Zhaojun would put the two little princes together with Jia Lian.

The sergeants held a meeting in the outermost sentry room after the children were sound asleep.

Among them, Hongye knew Wei Liang, and Hongye didn't know the other eight.

"I thought these young masters would not obey discipline, it was much better than I imagined."

"Jia Lian is very courageous, and it was from him that he started to switch beds."

"Hey, those who know current affairs are brilliant."

"I counted the number of people. Among them, there are 20 concubines and 46 legitimate sons. Among the 46 people, 16 are from the general's family, and 15 are from the clan."

……

Hongye heard from them that in addition to cultivating from the noble families, they will also select outstanding talents from various military regions, and not only the navy, but also the army must strengthen training. As for military expenses, the clan has earned enough in these years Yes, the clan had to pay part of the money, and the son was put in the military academy. In order for the son to have better training equipment, the clan endured heartache and clutched his chest to leave.

The Household Department also participated in the calculation of military expenses. The Minister of the Household Department followed Zhaojun King's order and reported a huge figure of 4808 million taels, but it seemed that there was not much on each of the clan princes.

In fact, Emperor Changping originally felt that his son was too much. If the clan couldn't get it out in the end, he would make up for it himself, but he never thought that this was just a drop in the bucket, which depressed Emperor Changping half to death. In the end, he was actually the poorest !

Hongye was speechless, never expecting that King Zhaojun's indifferent appearance was actually a sesame stuffing inside.After thinking about it again, she thought that King Zhaojun himself was also engaged in maritime business. Counting from himself, how much money he had earned in the past few years, and then estimating the clan, one could imagine how rich the clan was.

As for the legitimate sons and concubines, it seems that most people still have the normal notion of concubines. The fifteen clan children are all legitimate sons.

Hongye thought about the situation of the clan, except for a few absurd ones, almost no one would really praise the concubine and destroy the heir. For the sake of the inheritance of the title, most princes are still in their normal minds.

Seeing that Jia Lian can live independently, Hongye is relieved, but his performance is really unexpected.

The next day, Jia Amnesty came back late from get off work and heard from Chang Sui that he went to meet Hao Ding for tea.

Everyone didn't know what he was doing, it was already dark, and they only saw him walking briskly back with a smile on his face.

"Hey, I asked someone to inquire, and Lian'er performed very well. There are six people in a team, and she was appointed as the team leader."

Hong Ye laughed: "You are looking for Hao Ding to inquire about this?"

Zhang's face relaxed, Jia Zheng and Wang were a little surprised, Jia Hu and Jia Zhu suddenly became curious.

"What does the captain do? What are Lian'er and the others going to do?"

"What are you doing? On the first day of today, I climbed mountains all day, up and down mountains, and climbed trees." Jia Amnesty narrowed his eyes and snorted: "That kid has been naughty since he was a child. , in vain he jumped up and down all day long."

Everyone couldn't help laughing, Jia Amnesty said again: "Don't worry about Lian'er, he has adapted very well."

Knowing that there was no problem with Jia Lian, everyone was half relieved, and the manor still had to pay attention to Jia Hu and Jia Zhu's childbirth test.

Three days later, the results of Jia Hu and Jia Zhu's college examination came out. Jia Hu took the first place in the test this time, and Jia Zhu's score has improved, but it is still in the middle level.

Half a month later, Jia Hu and Jia Zhu took the final government examination, and they didn't have time to care about the results, but they were concerned about Jia Lian's return.

At dusk, at the gate of the city, the setting sun shone on the city wall, pedestrians came in and out, many lords in official uniforms walked around outside the city gate, and after a while, some people in different python suits came out from inside.

When everyone looked at each other, they were all stunned. They didn't expect that they felt the same as me.

"Haha, Brother Chen, you're here too!"

"Brother Feng Yue, you are here too!"

After a brief noise, silence returned, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the official road ahead.

The setting sun was getting lower and lower, and under the anxious eyes of everyone, only the sound of horseshoes was heard.

"I'm coming!"

Everyone couldn't help but stood up and stretched their necks to look at the large group of horses and chariots.

Jia Amnesty's eyes wandered around the four people on the big horse leading the lead, and finally fell on Wei Liang.Seeing the convoy approaching, the four got off their horses and bowed their hands to everyone.

"I have seen you adults."

Jia She and the others hurriedly returned the salute, but their eyes unconsciously fell on the dozens of carriages behind.

Many adults couldn't help but ran to the back of the carriage to find someone, Jia She and the two long followers followed closely behind.

"Jia Lian, Jia Xiaolian, Lian Xiaosan!" Jia She called out his son's name, and the eldest son immediately called, "Third Young Master!"

Jia Lian vaguely heard the voice, opened the curtain of the car, saw his father in front of him, turned to the others and said, "My father is here to pick me up, goodbye!"

After finishing speaking, Jia Lian pulled Zhou Fang, Zhang Ruiqian, and Wang Ling to jump out of the carriage. Gao Chen and Wang Yu waved their hands, and glanced outside with envy in their eyes.When the others saw their family members coming to pick them up, they quickly jumped out of the carriage, and those who were not picked up continued to sit in the carriage. In the end, there was only one person left in the carriage besides the Gao Chen brothers.

"Father!" Jia Lian grinned and ran behind Jia She, Jia She looked back and was startled.

"Lian Xiaosan, why did you become like this?" Jia She pulled his son over and compared himself. The son grew taller, but became dark and thin. Looking at the other three, they all looked like this.

Jia Lian pouted and stared at his father, full of unhappiness.

Jia She laughed, picked up his son and put him on his shoulders.

"Granduncle." Zhang Ruiqian hurriedly saluted, Zhou Fang and Wang Ling also hurriedly saluted.

"If your father doesn't come, I'll take you back later." Jia Amnesty had a smile on his face and exchanged greetings with the adults next to him.

A sergeant took the list and asked the adults to sign it, proving that he brought the child back. As for those who did not come to pick up the children, the sergeant would send them home in person.

Zhang Ruiqian's father came late, and he thanked Jia She first when he came: "Uncle, I'm really sorry for being late." He glanced at his son, then at the three cousins, thinking that this is really sharing weal and woe, Look, it's all so dark.

Zhou Fang and Wang Ling's father also ran over in a hurry, and everyone exchanged some pleasantries. Jia Amnesty made an appointment with his nephew, and Jia Lian would go to Zhang's house to visit his grandfather tomorrow, so everyone got into their carriages and lined up to enter the city.

For Gao Chen and Wang Yu, because Wei Liang and others were going to send them back to the palace, the person who was in the same carriage with them was transferred to another carriage, and other soldiers would take them home.

The chariots and horses stopped at the gate of the palace, Gao Chen and Wang Yu carried their burdens and slowly stepped into the gate of the palace.One after another, he was hesitating to go back to the harem to meet his mother and concubine, or to go to the royal study to meet his father?

A group of young eunuchs came over and saluted the two princes. The father-in-law at the head said, "Prince Eleventh and Prince Twelve, please. Your Majesty and several county princes are waiting for the two princes."

The eunuchs were respectful, and they didn't see that the white and tender prince had turned into a black baby.The little eunuchs wanted to take over the burden of the two princes, but they were rejected by Gao Chen.

Gao Chen and Wang Yu's original names were Feng Chen and Feng Yu, but they changed their mother's surnames because they entered the military academy and didn't want to be known too much.The two breathed a sigh of relief, and there was joy and anticipation in their hearts.

Following the little eunuch to the outside of the imperial study room, the two of them stopped. Wang Wei came out and saw the appearance of the two princes. Come in, the emperor is waiting."

The two princes returned a half salute, and then stepped into the imperial study.

The next moment, the voice of the Tenth Prince laughing came: "Haha, Eleventh, Twelveth, how did you become black babies? You are comparable to miners who dig mines."

Wang Wei twitched the corners of his mouth, the tenth prince is not good at watching the occasion, so let's save some face for the two princes.

Emperor Changping glanced at his tenth son, and the tenth brother on November 12, and quickly saluted his father and brothers.

"Get up and walk in front of the father." Emperor Changping felt emotional, and glanced at the burden that his son was still carrying behind him.

Wang Ting was more lively than Gao Chen, walked up and down, hugged his father's arm, and Emperor Changping stroked his son's head one by one.

"You did a good job, Father is very happy."

Wang Xing grinned happily, and the tenth prince couldn't help but slapped his legs and laughed loudly: "Twelve, when you smile, only your teeth are white."

Emperor Changping glanced at the ten sons: "Old ten!" If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb.

The rest of the princes, except King Zhaojun, were all in a daze. When they came back to their senses, they put aside their random thoughts just now, and then went to see the two youngest brothers. Seeing their appearance, they couldn't help laughing for a while.

Seeing their father scolding Brother Ten, the two of Gao Chen couldn't help laughing inwardly. They didn't care about their appearance, and there were more people who became darker than them.However, among them, there are some who have never been tanned, which is enviable.
