Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 203 Xu Wenyu Was Missed

After a welcome banquet, Jia Ying became more relaxed in the next few days.

Because of the delay of a plague, he missed the opportunity for the court to award meritorious soldiers. Among the meritorious soldiers who participated in the battle against the Xiongnu, only his Hunan army camp and Yang You's Jingluwei have not yet received rewards.

It's not that the court is going to renege on its debts, it's just that the award has been postponed.

As for when it will be brought up, it depends on when the emperor and the ministers in the court will remember it.

Maybe this is a big deal for the soldiers of the two armies, but for the emperor and the court ministers, it doesn't seem so important.After all, the Hunan Army Camp and the Jinglu Guard are just two cases. How could they take such a small matter to heart when they are busy with everything.

At this time, Jia Ying and Yang You, the coaches of the two armies, were naturally needed to beg for the soldiers of the two armies.

However, since he returned to Beijing, the emperor has never summoned him.

Not to mention him, when I heard that Yang You wanted to enter the palace to pay his respects, he was stopped.

The order from the palace asked Yang You to rest in the mansion for a while.

The reason behind this is actually not difficult to think of, both of them have stayed in the epidemic area, especially Jia Ying was also infected with smallpox, so it is natural to be cautious when it comes to the palace.

Although it sounds like it doesn't make sense, it's obvious that people are more complete, but many things, he is just so unreasonable.

However, Jia Ying felt that this might be just an excuse for the emperor, it was intentional to put aside and cool him and Yang You.

In a big battle, the two young men shined brilliantly, which is known to the whole world.

Especially these two people are not ordinary people, Jia Ying has made great achievements time and time again within less than a year since he entered the official position, what do you make other courtiers think.

As long as you can, are we all trash?
The most important thing is the question of how to reward.

This is not yet 20 years old, and he is already an official from the fifth rank. It takes half a lifetime for others to walk, and you will finish it in half a year. If you get promoted again, it will make people live. It is said that those Jinshi who have worked hard for most of their lives, but are still low-ranking officials, even those fourth-rank, third-rank, and even second-rank ministers, will feel sour when they see Jia Ying.

But it would be unreasonable not to reward him, after all, the opponent's combat exploits are really there.

Isn't this sincerely asking people difficult problems?

As for Yang You, his identity is even more sensitive, especially since his blood is so close to the throne.

Therefore, the necessary cooling is still necessary, which is considered routine.

Simply Jia Ying was also happy to be idle for a while, if not for other purposes, only his current achievements are enough for him to lie flat for half of his life, and he can live well without working hard.

Jia Ying didn't have too much obsession with how big an official would be. Even if she became the first rank in the dynasty and joined the cabinet, so what?
What the emperor can give you, you can take back at any time.

The Marquis of Xining has been in charge of Xijiang for more than [-] years, but the emperor has seized his military power.

Regression turns out to be forward.

Before he has enough strength, Jia Ying still needs to hold the emperor's thick thigh tightly. As for the future
That can only change from time to time.

What Jia Ying really cared about was the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Hunan Army Camp.

Whether it is Jia Ying or Feng Hengshi, when they selected the soldiers, they were all young and strong. That is to say, most of the soldiers in the Hunan Army Camp are not too old. At least within ten years, these soldiers will still be serious. His, within 20 years, this army is still an elite.

After 17 years in this world, I finally feel a little bit more secure.

In the next few days, Jia Ying spent most of his time in the mansion with Daiyu and the others, during which time he even took time to go to Yunji by himself, and there was one person he missed.

As for why you go alone, everyone understands that it is always inconvenient to have others around.

Perhaps after being separated for too long and experiencing such dangers again, when Qi Sixian faced Jia Ying's tricks again, he no longer resisted as before.

It's a pity that this piece of fresh meat still couldn't eat his mouth, but it still touched his heartstrings intentionally or unintentionally.

Really a goblin.

Jia Ying didn't push too much, after all, he wasn't ready yet, if Qi Sixian was really taken into the house, how would he explain it to the emperor?

After all, this relationship seems a bit messy.

It is the monarch and his ministers.

Also brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Here comes another father-in-law and son-in-law.

Alas, fortunately, everyone in the wealthy family is used to it.

Jia Ying originally wanted to meet Xu Wenyu, but unfortunately, Shangyi Bureau didn't want to let him go, and Jia Ying couldn't enter the palace.

He also went to Li Wan's side once, but after a short stay, Sister Feng came.

Facing Sister Feng's sudden arrival, Li Wan felt guilty and always felt that something scandalous had been found out, so he stared at Jia Ying frequently, his eyes full of sadness.

Jia Ying smiled helplessly, and finally left with regret.

When looking for a chance to go there again, Li Wan kicked him out before saying a few words, and refused to invite him to sit in the house without saying anything.

"Oh, how should I mention this to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang?"

Jia Ying felt a little worried for a while.

Wait a minute.

The Grand View Garden was completed a month ago, and all that was left was to add some decorations and decorations. Jia Zheng also specially invited Jia Ying to visit the garden together.

Even though he already had the foreshadowing preparations in his heart, when he actually saw this garden, Jia Ying still secretly said: "What a luxury!"

I have to sigh with emotion, privilege is awesome.

Speaking of the current price of land in central Beijing, measured by the current price, it is actually no worse than the price of every inch of land in his previous life.

Don't underestimate the ancients, land speculation is not an exclusive product of the technological age.

But even so, the Jia family's half-declining government can still own a large piece of land in central Beijing.

This is not Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, but the inner city of Beijing!
What is enclosure.

It's no wonder that Dagan wants to seal off the sea area. This is completely Dagan's ruling class, and they are not interested in the wild overseas lands at all!

The background of the Taixi people's voyage is largely due to the lack of land resources, which prompted their desire to find a new continent.

As far as the little land in Europe is concerned, all the countries combined are not as large as Dagan's territory.

Sure enough, depravity is caused by riches and honor.

The landscapes in the garden are still the same as in memory, without any change.

When everyone went to the garden to try their talents, Jia Ying was still fighting in the front. Without the suppression of the son of time-traveling, the son of the plane naturally shined brilliantly.

Yes, the front is fighting, but the rear is busy building gardens, completely unaffected by the war, this is honor.

But Jia Ying didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, the garden was built for the purpose of visiting relatives, and royal power was the root of everything.

"Second Master, has the day of visiting relatives been set?"

Jia Zheng said: "Originally, after the completion of the garden, I planned to invite the holy decree to play, but because the war delayed and threatened to disturb the sacred heart, I put it aside for the time being, and planned to play it again at another day. "

"When I first saw the blueprints, I felt that the garden would be a magnificent scene after it was completed. After seeing it today, it is still full of shock. It's just a pity." Jia Ying couldn't help sighing.

Jia Zheng on the side was puzzled and said, "Why do you say such a pity?"

"It's a pity that the visiting days are short, so I can't make the best use of them." Jia Ying sighed leisurely.

There are strict regulations for imperial concubines visiting relatives, and they are not allowed to return home for more than one day, and they cannot stay overnight.

Moreover, Luanjia spent most of the day from leaving the palace to returning home. It was said to be visiting relatives, but the time between the family was only a few intermittent sentences.

A lot of manpower, material and financial resources were spent, just for that moment of brilliance.

Isn't this garden a reflection of Jia's current situation?

Burning fire to cook oil, but for a moment, it will disappear in a blink of an eye.

Maybe it can relieve Yuanchun's momentary pain of longing for relatives, but who knows, if you don't see him, it's fine. After a long time, no matter how lonely and miserable, time will eventually erase it.

Now a family visit, on the contrary, aroused the pain of grief in Yuan Chun's heart, and I don't know if it helped her or hurt her.

Just like a caged bird, if it has never experienced the joy of flying in the sky, it will be fine, but one day, you let it see the wonderful outside world, and after it is locked in the cage, it will be fine. How can I continue to stay in peace?

Jia Ying also thought about whether there is any way to make Yuan Chun stay for one more day.

It's a pity that etiquette is greater than heaven.

Even if he gave up this battle in exchange for prolonging the time to visit his relatives, that would be impossible, and it would bring trouble to Yuanchun instead.

And if Yuan Chun stays in the palace, Jia Ying can't think of any variables that can change Yuan Chun's ending.

"The royal law is like this, isn't it that we and the courtiers can control it, and if we can stay for a day, we will be satisfied." Jia Zheng's mood also seemed a little heavy.

He may be pedantic and can't get rid of the family-oriented concept rooted deep in his soul, but Jia Zheng is the kindest person in the Jia family and the one who cares the most for his children.

If it is said that the other children of the Jia family are full of wine and rice, and have no human touch except eating and enjoying themselves in the house, then Jia Zheng is the only one who is different among them.

At least he knows how to let Baoyu study, and he also knows how to care about his two concubine daughters.

His psychology is really a father-son relationship.

People's eyes are hard to deceive.

"When will the second master plan to invite His Majesty?"

Jia Zheng recovered from his grief and said slowly: "It will be the twelfth lunar month in half a month or so. I think I will go to school in a few days. It is not easy to delay until next year."

Jia Ying nodded and said: "At that time, I can go to the siege with the second master. The general manager Dai in the palace is familiar with our family, and the eunuch Xia. When the time comes, bring some more money, so that Feng Jia can go to school sooner." It is also good to go out of the palace, so as to allow some more time for the empress and her family to catch up on the old days."

"The concubine's family visit has always been co-hosted by the Ministry of Rites and the palace. I'm afraid it's not convenient for them." Jia Zheng was a little moved, but he felt that Dai Quan and Eunuch Xia alone might not be a good way of convenience. open ah.

"It doesn't matter, let me go to the Ministry of Rites to clear it up. My mentor is now in charge of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and there is also a teacher I will try. The current Minister of the Ministry of War, Yan Butang, was also the Minister of the Ministry of Rites before. When the time comes, I will go Just ask the two of them to come forward and help out." Jia Ying said.

It is indeed complicated for the imperial concubine to go out of the palace, and there are a lot of guards of honor accompanying her, but it is not without room for manipulation.

In the original book, the Jia family started preparations early in the morning, but the concubine Yuan didn't return home until evening, which was a bit cumbersome and outrageous.

The Jia family is not too far from the imperial city, that is to say, it took more than half a day just to go out of the palace.

Jia Ying wouldn't believe it if there was nothing tricky about it.

Just after Jia Ying came out of the Grand View Garden, a young servant came to report that the King of Beijing Jing invited him to come over to talk.

Jia Ying then rushed to the Beijing Palace, thinking at the same time what would happen if Shui Rong came to him.

"Chen Jiaying pays homage to the prince."

"Brother, in my house, you don't have to see outsiders like this. You and I are friends in need, why should you act like outsiders." Shui Rong supported Jia Ying's arms, and did not let him bow down.

"The minister and the prince naturally have a deep friendship, but etiquette cannot be broken." Jia Ying didn't insist, and stood up straight, just said in his mouth.

"There are no outsiders here, so it doesn't have to be like this."

Shui Rong led Jia Ying into the living room, and asked the maid to bring tea: "Brother, please sit down."

"My lord is looking for me, but what's the matter?" Jia Ying asked after sitting down.

Shui Rong waved his hand and told all the servants to leave, then looked at Jia Ying and said, "It's not a big deal, but I know Brother Shi and Miss Xu are on good terms, and when the celebration banquet was held in the palace last time, Miss Yan was invited in." Gong Yanle happened to meet Ms. Xu, but I mentioned something, I just reminded you of it today, and I just invited you over."

Related to Xu Wenyu?

Jia Ying calmed down and asked, "But what trouble did Miss Xu encounter?"

I only heard Shui Rong say: "Trouble, it's not a problem at the moment, but something happened."

"Miss Xu said that after she finished studying the palace rules and etiquette from the Shangyi Bureau, she should be transferred to Zhanshi's Mansion to serve as the prince or the emperor's daughter's praise. I wonder if the elder brother knows about this?"

Jia Ying nodded and said: "But there is such a thing, and His Majesty personally approved it."

Shui Rong was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't know that His Majesty would care about these trivial matters, was it because of Jia Ying?
For a while, Shui Rong admired Jia Ying, for the woman he liked, he would plead with His Majesty, and His Majesty actually agreed!
It was a miracle.

Seeing Shui Rong's expression, Jia Ying knew that he was guessing what was going on in his heart, but Jia Ying didn't explain much, because there were many secrets related to the emperor.

"Since His Majesty asked the question in person, maybe we are overthinking it." Shui Rong shook his head and said.

"What exactly happened?" Jia Ying asked.

"The thing is, Miss Xu's time limit for going to the Shangyi Bureau has expired, and she was supposed to be transferred to Zhanshi's Mansion, but what happened, the Shangyi Bureau didn't let her go, and a female officer asked her if there was anything wrong with her?" I don’t have the intention to go to Prince Zhao’s Mansion.”

"Prince Zhao's Mansion?" It was the first time Jia Ying heard of such a mansion.

Shui Rong explained: "It's like this, the princes of His Majesty have all grown up, and according to the regulations, they can no longer stay in the palace, so some time ago, His Majesty ordered them to leave the palace to open the palace, and there are three princes among them. He was named king, a prince, and two county kings. This Prince Zhao's mansion is the mansion of the second prince Yang Yi, who was named Prince Zhaohe."

"Second prince?"

Jia Ying suddenly frowned.

Not surprisingly, the eldest son of the emperor died in his early years. This may be the fate of most eldest sons in the Red Chamber, as if they were cursed.

On the contrary, the second child, the third child, and the fourth child are like ducks in water.

Shui Rong is the fourth son, Yang You is the third son, Jia Ying, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu are both the second sons of a thousand years.

Even Jia Zheng had the honor of his second child.

It is said that Feng Tang is not the eldest son either, but the one above him has lost his vitality when he was born, so he is positioned as the eldest son.

The eldest of the Xu family died, but the second Xu was able to save his life.

Some are, I really can't tell.

The second prince, who was also born by the empress, was a few years older than Jia Ying. It is said that he would be able to leave the palace and start a mansion after he was sixteen. It's so big that it doesn't even have a title.

Until now, it's finally over.

The eldest son died young, and according to the principle of succession, the second son should also be on the throne. It's interesting that Jiade didn't let the second prince enter the East Palace, but named him Prince Showa.

Jiade is already over forty years old, this age is not too young for the present, if you don't set the East Palace as soon as possible, is this to make the princes involuntary?
Jia Ying had seen this second prince before, on the night when he appeared in the palace.

Jia Ying's impression of this person is not very good, but it is not bad either, after all, the relationship between the two parties is not too deep.

Prince Zhao's Mansion, why are you eyeing Xu Wenyu?

See you in the palace?
I have to say that Xu Wenyu's temperament and proud figure really attract the attention of men.

"Has Prince Zhao's Mansion opened yet?" Jia Ying asked.

Shui Rong shook his head and said: "Not yet, but it will be before the end of the year. Because of this, the palace will select maids and eunuchs for Prince Zhao's mansion, and they found Miss Xu."

"But Miss Xu's matter was personally agreed by His Majesty, and Eunuch Dai greeted Shangyi Bureau and Zhan Shifu. They even dared to snatch the person appointed by His Majesty? Or was it just an accident?"

Shui Rong shook his head and said: "I don't know about these things, but it's just that Miss Xu is inconvenient to transmit information because she just entered the palace, so she asked Miss Yan to bring you a message. If you want to find out, you need to find someone to inquire about it." It is."

Xu Wenyu is an extremely intelligent woman. Since she asked someone to bring her a message, it means that she has noticed or encountered something, but no matter what, this matter should be inseparable from the second prince.

Jia Ying's expression was gloomy, this is the woman who wants to rob him!

Seeing Jia Ying's expression, Shui Rong was afraid that he would do something impulsive, so he hurriedly said, "Brother Shi, don't worry, I can't help Shang Yi Bureau, but I have a few acquaintances at Zhan Shi's Mansion. In this way, I will send the door down to inquire."

Jia Ying suppressed the anger in her heart, facing a prince, or the empress, anger is useless, she has to find a way to solve this matter.

"In this case, the prince will be troubled."

"Brother Shi, don't be so polite between you and me. If it weren't for you, my life would have been lost in Lan County. In this way, Brother Shi stay at my house later, and I will send someone to investigate."

Jia Ying nodded in agreement, he can't enter the palace right now, and can only rely on water melting.

After half a day, the disciples of the palace rushed back and told the two of them the news they found out.

As expected by Jia Ying, the second prince sent someone to greet Zhan Shifu.

He didn't dare to take the person away directly, but he asked Zhan Shifu to ask for someone a few days later. The emperor only said that he asked Xu Wenyu to pretend to be a kind person, but he didn't specify which prince or princess it was. Xu Wenyu, let Zhan Shi's mansion arrange people to go to Zhao Wang's mansion, so everything will be logical.

"It's not easy right now, the second prince is the empress's son after all." Shui Rong said in distress.
