old lady in red

Zhang's Jia Min's hot pot is like ants.

Shi Mei was thinking about a few names.

The eldest princess and Princess Ronghui hated Rongfu, although it was a bit inexplicable, but it was understandable. What happened to King Yizhong?

The original book basically did not clearly describe the Yizhong County King.I don't know whether he is an enemy or a friend to the Jia family, this is what Shi Mei worries about.

During his lifetime and after his death, Jia Daishan had a clear conscience towards the abolished prince.

Not to mention anything else, the Rong Mansion still bears a debt of 80 yuan in the household department for the abolished prince.

Yizhong County King shouldn't deal with Rong Mansion anyway.

If the King of Yizhong County deals with the Rong Mansion just because Jia Daishan protects His Majesty, that would be a wolf-hearted dog.

Shi Mei's heart moved: Lord Bei mentioned the son of the abolished prince, did he want Rongfu not to be murdered by him, or did he imply that Jia Daishan was dead, and Rongfu could take this opportunity to break away from the abolished prince's line and not be entangled by him?

Is that what the King of the North means?

Shi Mei comforted Jia Min and Zhang Shi who were in a state of anxiety, and called Lai Da to order: "Let someone tell Jin Shan to secretly follow the second son of the eldest princess's mansion, the eldest son of Princess Ronghui's mansion, and beware of them doing harm to your uncle.

Then, try to inform your uncle, or the uncle Jing in the East Mansion, to tell your uncle to hunt.Keep a distance from the two princes and the Shi family.

It is best to be inseparable from Yanhou and Liu Zifang.

Tell him that it doesn't matter how many prey there are, the important thing is not to be injured, which will affect the raid.

This matter is extremely important, you must deliver the letter before the hunting begins, can it be done? "

Lai Da kowtowed and said, "I'm so heartbroken. Even if I die, I will send the letter to the uncle."

When Shi Mei heard this, she immediately reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, the uncle can't have any accidents, and you can't have any accidents either!"

Mrs. Zhang was frightened and disturbed, but she was able to grit her teeth and endure.

Jia Min couldn't help complaining: "Second brother and elder brother Jing are also true, they don't participate in hunting either, so why go to the emperor to join in the fun?"

Shi Mei said: "The tents here are full of female relatives, so he is a man who follows me, isn't he being laughed at?"

Mrs. Zhang also comforted Jia Min: "Second uncle wants to take the imperial examination. The examiners must be from the Imperial Academy and the Ministry of Rites. It is also appropriate for second uncle to go to Huanluo. Fourth sister, don't worry, mother has her own arrangements."

Shi Mei patted Jia Min lightly and said, "Even if your elder brother doesn't know anything, he's still a smart person. He usually weighs in with Yan Hou, Liu Zifang, Chen Ruiwen, and Niu Jizong. It doesn't matter if you think about it."

As she said that, Shi Mei poked the sky with her finger: "I believe that the sky has eyes, and there is no reason to let these rebellious officials and thieves exterminate Zhongliang."

At the beginning of the hour, a servant came to convey the will, and invited the honorable and noble women to enter the Guanjing Pavilion.

At such a time, Mrs. Xiu Guohou and Mrs. Qi Guohou greeted Shi Mei and left.

Lai Da hasn't returned yet, so Shi Mei decides to wait.

At about three o'clock, Lai Da finally returned and told Shi Mei that Jin Da's scouts had been sent out.

It was just that Jia She and Jia Jing had been by the emperor's side all the time, and it was only when everyone was preparing their weapons that he spoke to Jia She.

Shimei, Zhang's and Jia Min's three felt amnesty, and went to Guanjing Pavilion with peace of mind.

Viewing pavilions are built in the buildings around the large racecourse, and the attics are surrounded by the surrounding of the racecourse.

The arena is located in the very center of the racetrack.

The structure of Zoumazhuan attic is divided into a large flower hall in the middle part, which is partitioned by bead curtains.

Outside is a spacious veranda with views in all directions.

Sitting on the viewing pavilion, you can enjoy the ring competition.On the periphery of the corridor, you can enjoy the grand scene of the military field.

Of course, the Guanjing Pavilion can only see His Majesty ordering troops.

The real hunting ground is hidden among the vast green hills and trees, which can only be seen from a distance, but not seen.

Not yet.

The Minister of Guards, King Zhongjing, personally beat the drum placed on the ring.

Lord assessment officially started.

Shi Mei had inquired clearly a long time ago, this time only the Rong Mansion participated in the inheritance assessment in the Eight Duke Mansion.

Ning Guogong of the Eight Dukes' Mansion died early, and the remaining six Shan Guogongs, like the Rong Mansion, inherited a generation of dukes because of their meritorious service, and the remaining five princes are still alive.

There is no need for a confrontation in the Juejue assessment.

The content of the assessment is similar to that of martial arts.It's just that there are a few more items than the content of martial arts.

In addition to piercing Yang with a hundred steps, you can choose a weapon with swords, guns, swords and halberds.

The minimum weight of weapons is 120 jin, medium [-] jin, and high-grade [-] jin.

The assessor must dance a set of marksmanship or swordsmanship like flowing water, and those who can't afford it will be demoted to the assessment.

For example, Jia Amnesty, if he can wield a 120-jin sword, gun, sword and halberd, he can attack the Viscount.

If you dance eighty catties, you will be lowered.

If you can't move even eighty catties, you will fall into the bottom class, probably a fake general in your previous life.

Jia Amnesty is the highest honorary title inherited this year, and will be placed in the final assessment.

First on the stage are the lowest-ranking Lieutenant Enqi, Lieutenant Yunqi, and then Lieutenant Qingche.

At the beginning of the application period, it was Jia Amnesty's turn.

Mrs. Zhang jumped out of the flower hall all of a sudden, and her body was attached to the carved railing of the veranda.

Shi Mei had no choice but to nod to the ladies on the left and right, and accompanied Jia Min to accompany Mrs. Zhang.

Shi Mei comforted Mrs. Zhang: "Don't worry, he can carry six sacks of 100-jin rice bags, and he can still run around. [-]-jin rice sacks are not a problem. Just wait until you become a Marquis."

Mrs. Zhang blushed and said, "Mother, isn't my daughter-in-law worried about this..."

Shi Mei nodded: "I know, you are afraid that the boss will get hurt, so don't worry, don't worry, at such a time, everyone is watching, and no one dares to do anything wrong."

When Jia Amnesty came off the field, he first tested the bow and arrow, pierced Yang with a hundred steps and synthesized it with one breath, shot nine out of three, and shot down nine copper coins tied to willow branches.

With swords, guns, and halberds, Jia Amnesty chose to rob.

Jia Amnesty first chose a 120-jin pistol, and after playing a set of marksmanship, he didn't blush or breathe.

Then, Jia Amnesty added forty catties, picked up the 160 catty cock, and danced like flowing water again.

After Jia Amnesty finished playing, a group of cronies and gangsters cried and howled happily.

Zhang's eyes were red with excitement: "Mother, my husband did it."

Shi Mei nodded and said, "It's not a big problem for the horse racing and hunting."

Zhang's darling mentioned again: "I don't know..."

Shi Mei said: "No problem, there are guards along the way, and the scouts in our mansion are also on the outside, Xie'er is in full body armor, with gold silk soft armor inside, as long as there are not thousands of arrows fired, he will at most suffer a flesh wound... ..."

In fact, Shi Mei can't guarantee it, swords have no eyes.

However, in the original book, Li Jiashe was alive and well, so this time, there should be no danger.

At the moment of time, the horn sounded.

Those who intend to enter the bodyguards, the noble children of the Jinyiwei, and the noble children of the royal family who want to show themselves in front of the emperor will all participate in the hunting.

The eldest son of Emperor Jiahe is 36 years old, and the youngest son is only five years old.The grown-up prince seemed to be terrified by the conspiracy of the abolished prince three years ago.

A dozen or so adult princes didn't end up hunting. They sat with Emperor Jiahe and watched the noble children fight fiercely for the qualification to enter the bodyguard office and Jinyiwei.

After all, except for the eldest son of the lord's family, most of the second sons and bastards passed through the guards, and the last time they entered the garrison camp was their qualifications.

Those who entered the imperial examination as officials were rare.

This year, it is said that there will be an increase of ten imperial guards in the bodyguard office, and the number of Jin Yiwei will only increase by twenty.

However, there were more than [-] people who signed up for the selection.

Shi Mei followed the ladies and stood on the viewing pavilion to watch the soldiers count.

But seeing the banners waving, a large group of black and white.

On the outskirts of the noble horse formation, there are guards holding the flag, and those soldiers who are supervised by the Ministry of War. There are more than a thousand people in total.

The hunter and supporting staff are basically three to one.

The servants of the Ministry of War beat the three-pass drum, and the black cavalry shot out like sharp swords.

Shi Mei had never seen this kind of battle before, she was so frightened that her heart beat wildly, if she was pinned down, what would happen.

With this thought, Shi Mei's heart became more and more irritable.

After riding wildly like this, Jia Amnesty still remembers to tell him not to run away from his companions?

But thinking of Jin Shan entering the paddock as Jia Amnesty's bodyguard, he felt a little bit more restless.

After the children of the honored clan who participated in the hunting disappeared like lightning in the wind, it was time for the fellowship of the honored wives again.

This time, Shi Mei took the initiative to meet the edict of the Fourth Prince's Mansion and the Eighth Duke's Mansion.

In the end, the four palaces and eight palaces were all gathered in the Guanjing Pavilion of Princess Beijing.

It's not like the hanging tail in the attic of the noble family members of the Minjue.

The attic of the Four Princes' Mansion is the closest to the main building of the Empress.

When you arrive at the attic of the Northern Princess, you can spy on the attic of the Empress.

Emperor Jiahe was very good at enjoying himself. When he came out for a day and a half, he didn't forget to bring beauties to serve him.

Although she couldn't see clearly through the bead curtain, Shi Mei was sure that Concubine Zhen Gui would be present.

Shi Mei squeezed Jia Min's hand and said softly, "Look what's different over there?"

Princess Bei told Shi Mei at this time: "Princess Rongchang and Princess Ronghui are all in the main building. The eldest princess mother and son are absent, and Princess Ronghui's son is here. Your Majesty arranged her in the main building."

After wandering around, Shi Mei returned to her viewing attic.It seems that he is sitting quietly with his eyes closed, but he is actually thinking and calculating nervously in his heart.

Why do you want to reject His Majesty's grace, princess and son?

The eldest princess' son-in-law is a traitor. Although the princess has not been convicted, the princess's mansion does not dare to openly keep the filial piety in vain.

At this moment, the princess refuses her son to become an official. Is it the same as Shi Mei's rejection of Jia Zhengen's taking up an official position, to establish the image of a loyal and filial man for her son?

Or play the princess prestige, with His Majesty?

Or, because Yizhong County King got up, he thought that the deposed prince's family might turn around, so he bought it from the deposed prince's family?

Shi Mei really doesn't understand politics, so she can't figure out the meaning of the princess's behavior.

However, Shi Mei knew that the emperor of the Red Chamber was not a deposed prince!

This is crucial.

Based on this, Shi Mei knew that the Rong Mansion must never be involved with the deposed prince.

Princess Ronghui's mother and son accepted His Majesty's grace, which shows that Princess Ronghui is at least superficially loyal to Emperor Jiahe.

Princess Ronghui is the cousin of Emperor Jiahe, just as there is no imperial decree to reward Jia Daishan for his rescue, and there is no definite imperial decree to confirm whether the county horse is rebellious or not.

However, the county horse was an official of the prince's mansion and died in the chaos.

Even if she took off her rebellious hat, it was still not as clean as Jia Daishan took it off for death in front of His Majesty.

Shi Mei came to the conclusion that if Jia She had a physical conflict with Princess Ronghui's son today, she, the widow of the hero who rescued him, would not be afraid of her at all.

After figuring this out, Shi Mei felt relieved.

Jamin is very sharp.

She listened to Shi Mei's slight sigh, and hurriedly asked softly: "Mother, did you just get some bad news?"

Shi Mei smiled and shook her head: "No, just seeing the chaotic scene of the hunting troops just now, I was a little worried."

He asked her again: "Just now, can you see the scene in the Dragon Tower clearly?"

Jia Min nodded lightly: "Your Majesty has thirteen adult princes and eight women by his side, among them, apart from Concubine Zhen, there are two beauties in their teens. Little girl, she is more reserved, she should not be your majesty's concubine."

Shi Mei said: "It should be some favored princesses and princesses."

He asked again, "Apart from these people, are there any abnormalities?"

Shi Mei wanted to ask if he could see the luck above Emperor Jiahe's head.

As a result, Jia Min shook his head: "Anomaly? Nothing. What should I see?"

Disappointed, Shi Mei had no choice but to blurt out: "Isn't there a young girl who doesn't look like a concubine?"

Jia Min thought for a while: "Mother is asking if there is a Danyang Princess?"

Shi Mei said: "Now it's not called Danyang, it's called Rongchang."

Jia Min shook her head: "Three years ago, she was only 12 years old. We didn't see each other very often, and my memory is a little fuzzy. And through the bead curtain, if it is closer to a building, I should be able to tell the difference."

Shi Mei smiled: "Look at this paddock, how does the air compare to the air in the mansion?"

Jia Min had an epiphany, and smiled softly: "Mother, how beautiful your thoughts are, how rare is the existence of aura, how can it exist here?"

Jia Min used up a lot of spirit stones, but progressed like a snail.

Shi Mei hooked Jia Min's palm: "You are a brave man!"

Jia Min was instantly ashamed and annoyed: "Mom, I'm not greedy..."

Mrs. Zhang was alarmed at this moment, and defended Jia Min with a smile: "The fourth younger sister is the most delicate."

About half an hour later, suddenly the horses downstairs screamed.

Shi Mei was inexplicably startled, and hurriedly leaned over to look around.

Then, I heard a sharp howl from inside the Dragon Tower: "No, I won't..."

The miserable howling stopped abruptly, and it was obvious that the crying person fainted.

Shi Mei turned her head to observe at this time, almost everyone was leaning on the carved railing to look around.

Qi Guohou ordered his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to run to Shi Mei's side. Qi Guogong ordered his chest to be pressed, and he only gasped for breath: "Mrs. Rong, do you have any news? What happened?"

Shi Mei was very surprised: "What will happen?"

I don't understand why Mrs. Qi Guohou is so panicked.

Mrs. Qi Guohou pressed her forehead: "It's not that my youngest son didn't listen to persuasion and wanted to participate in the selection of guards. You know, three years ago..."

Mrs. Qi Guohou suddenly stopped talking.

She originally wanted to say that Princess Ronghui died of her husband, but this time she was afraid that she would make a bad revenge on the four kings and eight princes.

Suddenly remembered that Jia Daishan also died three years ago.

Shi Mei also pressed her forehead, she also thought of this twist, when she suspected that others murdered Jia Amnesty, would other Xungui's family also suspect that the Rongfu wanted revenge?

Shi Mei was terrified immediately, Jia She should not have such thoughts, right?

Shi Mei will stand up and fight back, but she will not take the initiative to provoke trouble.

Shi Mei stretched out her hand to hold Madam Qi Guohou: "Let's go, my She'er is also hunting, let's go to Princess Bei and see if we can get some news."

Before these words fell to the ground, Mrs. Xiu Guohou also came over with the support of the two daughters-in-law, clutching her chest.

Aunt Shi Mei pulled Madam Xiu Guohou, let's go together.

Then, the further you go, the bigger the team.

Almost all the sons of the Eight Dukes participated in the selection.

The howling of this voice made people's hearts howl.

It happened so suddenly that King Beijing Jing was accompanying him in the Dragon Tower, so he had no time to distract himself.

Princess Beijing Jing didn't know anything at this time.

Princess Beijing reassured everyone: "There can be no chaos at this time. There is no news that means it is good news. If it is related to you, His Majesty will definitely summon your wives. Just wait at ease. I have sent someone to inquire about the news, and there will definitely be some news later. reply."

At this moment, there was another sound of horseshoes downstairs, but Jin Yiwei and the Patrol Battalion each sent a team.

Then, Princess Beijing's people came back, and there was only a single message from the guards outside. Someone fell off a horse and was seriously injured. I didn't hear who was howling.

This news made Mrs. Ruoyou Xungui's heart tighten.

Shi Mei suggested that Jia Min spy on the Dragon Tower to see if he could figure out who was crying just now.

This time Jia Min saw it clearly, and whispered to Shi Mei, "It should be Princess Ronghui. Your Majesty is furious. Concubine Zhen and a group of wives are comforting her."

Shi Mei calmed down a little in her heart, but she still sat with a frowning face.

About two quarters of an hour later, the brigade returned.

At this time, the ladies couldn't bear it anymore, Qiqi leaned over and looked around.

Then, Shi Mei saw Jinshan.

Now that he saw Jia She, Jia She was supported by others, but he could still walk with a limp.

Mrs. Zhang doesn't have the eyesight of Shi Mei and Jia Min, and her neck can stretch out a foot long to look around.

Jia Min hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, be careful not to fall."

Then, he dragged Mrs. Zhang back, and whispered: "I saw my brother, but he is a little limping when he walks."

When Mrs. Zhang heard the words, she burst into tears, opened her mouth to let out a breath, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding.

She was so nervous that she bit her lip.

Shi Mei reached out to wipe off the blood for her: "You are a child with a heavy heart. Didn't the concubine tell you that it's good news if you didn't call us."

As soon as Shi Mei said this, everyone echoed: "Yes, yes, His Majesty didn't call us, so there must be nothing wrong."

Just when everyone was comforting each other, His Majesty's will finally came: "Immediately leave the camp and return to Beijing."

All the orders couldn't hold back immediately, and they all wailed: "What's the matter, good or bad, you have to make it clear, what's the matter if you call us back to Beijing in a daze?"

At such a time, Jia Min could already see that the children of the Eight Dukes' Mansion were hardly injured, and those lying on the stretchers were almost all the children of the clan.

However, Jia Min couldn't say it out loud.

Just as Shi Mei and the lord's family were waiting in line to return to Beijing, Jia Zheng came back trembling.

The reason why Jia Zheng was released was that he vomited after seeing the blood.

The eldest grandson of Zong Ling's family stumbled and hit his head on a rock when he fell. He broke his neck and died with his brain burst.

Shi Mei hurriedly asked, "How did your brother get hurt?"

Jia Zhengdao: "The king of Yizhong County attacked Yanhou..."
