The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 79 Visiting Prince Teng

On the second day, Jia Lian went directly to Wang's house to visit Prince Teng.

Wang Ziteng met the emperor yesterday and knew that Jia Lian would accompany him to patrol the border during this trip, so he was not surprised at Jia Lian's visit.

"I already know about the fact that you beat Prince Duan's son. Since he was rude first, if you hit him, you will hit him. It's no big deal. Even if he is dissatisfied with Prince Duan, we don't have to be afraid of him."

Wang Ziteng met Jia Lian in the hall, and after a few simple greetings, he spoke in a very relaxed tone, as if the palace was no different from ordinary mansions in his eyes.

It's not surprising that Jia Lian, the people who hold the military power have different confidence.

He was about to get up to thank him, but when he saw Wang Ziteng pressed his hand, he sat down and thanked him.

Wang Ziteng said again: "Your Majesty has already told me the arrangements for you. The ministry should deliver the letter of appointment to you within two days. At that time, I will send someone to take you to the camp to familiarize yourself with military affairs. For the rest of the time, you should arrange your family affairs as soon as possible.

The time when we leave Beijing is roughly after the new year, I am afraid you will never end this year.In addition, once you go on this trip, you will not be able to return overnight. The bitter cold of the border is by no means comparable to the comfort of Beijing and China. You must be mentally prepared for these. "

As soon as Wang Ziteng said this, Jia Lian knew that Wang Ziteng did not trust him, so he was vaccinated in advance.It is estimated that he was afraid that his poor performance in the army would make the soldiers in the army look down upon him, and even affect his reputation.

So he stood up directly, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, don't worry, since I am determined to go on this trip, I am already prepared to deal with difficulties. My nephew has said something beforehand, if there is any slack, laziness, or violation of military discipline during this trip, Uncle, please don't care about the feelings of uncle and nephew, just deal with it according to military regulations. Otherwise, it will be a small matter for me to live up to the holy order, and if my uncle's reputation is damaged, then my nephew deserves to die!"

Seeing Jia Lian speak so solemnly, Wang Ziteng showed a surprised expression.

"You can say such a thing, I have nothing to worry about.

But you don't need to be too nervous. Our main task on this trip is to investigate the movements of the Tatar tribes and inspect the border fortifications. There may not be any wars.In addition, your great-grandfather and grandfather both held very high positions in the army. If you entered the army as you, most of the soldiers in the army would treat you with some courtesy.

I think what His Majesty means is to throw you into the army for training. This is a rare opportunity for you.

So as long as you can endure the harsh environment, this trip is not only not difficult for you, but it will also be the starting point of your official career. If you have perseverance, it is still unknown that you will inherit the glory of your ancestors in the future. "

As the person with the highest official position in the four major families, Wang Ziteng has a general understanding of the children of the four families.

Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to the emperor's arrangement of Jia Lian in his army, but he planned to send him back to Beijing as soon as possible if he could be trained.

Hearing that he was able to say such insightful words now, I finally believed in the correctness of the emperor's arrangement, and my words became a little more sincere.

"My nephew doesn't dare to hope to restore the glory of the ancestors. I only hope that this trip can help my uncle, and secondly, I don't want to embarrass my uncle and ancestors. Wishing is enough."

Jia Lian said seriously.

Wang Ziteng laughed, nodded, and said some specific things that need to be paid attention to when marching and managing grain and grass. Seeing that Jia Lian didn't understand it very well, but he listened carefully, without any impatience or shrinking, he was finally satisfied. a bit.

"You have never had the experience of marching. I will not be able to teach you everything in a short time. When you are in the army, as long as you are willing to study hard, you will understand these sooner or later. Alright, I still have some things to deal with, you Go and pay your respects to your aunt, and you don't have to ask for resignation when you come back."

After arranging for the butler to send Jia Lian in to meet him, Wang Ziteng sat in the hall and thought deeply.

It is a fact that has to be admitted that all the four great families that used to have great prosperity are gone.

Although he is still at the center of power, the upper limit of a military officer is really inferior to that of a civilian officer.For example, he has almost reached the point where he can't make progress now.

If he can barely support the lintel of the four major families, then the real crisis will be in the next generation.

According to him, although there are many children from the four families, at present, none of them are successful!
If things go on like this, I'm afraid that within 30 to [-] years, the title of the Four Great Families will become an inconspicuous cloud in history, dissipating without a trace.

Therefore, the four major families need a future helm, and he, Prince Teng, also needs arms that can support each other.

From the current point of view, Jia Lian basically meets the external conditions of this candidate.

The eldest son and grandson of Rong Guogong, the future heir to the hereditary title of Rong Guo Mansion.

Thinking of Jia Lian being able to angrily beat Wang Shizi yesterday in order to protect the dignity of his biological father, among other things, this kind of bloodyness really deserves praise, which made him start to believe that maybe Jia Lian really has the possibility of restoring the glory of his ancestors.

Even if it is only possible, it is enough for him to try cultivation.

……

Rongguo Mansion, Fengjie Courtyard, on the kang between Xici.

Wang Xifeng took out a folded prescription from her bosom, and handed it to Ping'er.

Ping'er took a look, couldn't help but paused, but didn't say anything, just nodded and put the prescription away.

Wang Xifeng said, "Don't blame me, I'm thinking of both of us.

No matter how good sister Ren is, there will always be disputes and enemies for the interests of the heirs.

You have been with me for so many years, although I didn't say it clearly, I already treat you as my own sister, otherwise I wouldn't let you follow your second master.I cherish the friendship between the two of us very much, and I don't want to ruin the friendship between the two of us since we were young because of some other things in the future.

If you wait until my child is born, if you really can inherit the family business, then I will naturally not ask you to eat this again. Do you understand my painstaking efforts? "

When Ping'er heard what Wang Xifeng said, tears came into his eyes, and he knelt down on the spot and said, "I understand grandma's intentions, and I remember all the good things grandma has done to me over the years, and I want to spend my whole life repaying grandma. Even if grandma doesn't say anything, Ping'er doesn't dare to argue with grandma, Ping'er dares to swear to God, if I have two hearts, I will die badly..."

Wang Xifeng immediately leaned over and took Ping'er, and said with a smile: "Look at you, why are you crying when you're doing well, and I will call your second master back to see you later, as if I was bullying you.

And what did you swear to me, and you know I don't believe that.

But I know you are a good person, and I also know that you will understand my painstaking efforts, so I tell you directly, not only because you suspect me but hate me.Let's be reasonable, and the law is the law. From now on, we should be closer, and don't let those things affect the friendship between us sisters. "

Ping'er also stood up, wiped away tears, and nodded in response.

"Okay, you don't have to follow me today, you ask someone to grab the medicine yourself, just boil a bowl and drink it, and I don't care about you.

Your second master doesn't know what's wrong now, he's become more shrewd and domineering, and he's controlling me.

How does he understand the truth, if I let him know, I'm afraid I will say that I have a vicious heart again.So if it's for my own good, just keep quiet and don't let him know.

Well, you go. "

Wang Xifeng smiled, seeing Ping'er gone, she also sat quietly, and then Fang murmured: "I hope you can really understand my painstaking efforts, I really want you to follow me..."
