As Lin Zhao expected, Jia Mu was shocked when she saw the reply.
I saw that there were a lot of things listed in my mind, all of which had to be done in one day. Did I have to ride a horse to the north of the city to inspect military training? Did I have to wander around the city to see how the Jin Yiwei was patrolling the streets? In addition, I had to be prepared to meet with the emperor at all times.
With this kind of high-intensity busyness, what can a twelve-year-old frail child do?
No wonder Baoyu was in low spirits when he returned home.
No, no, no, how can my body, which is as precious as gold and jade, really be like those rough warriors? I'm afraid that in three or two days, all the bones and frames will be dismantled.
Jia Mu immediately stopped Baoyu's idea of exercising.
After hearing the news about Jia Mu, Jia Zheng sighed, but he was filial and didn't say much.
On the contrary, Mrs. Wang breathed a long sigh of relief and secretly said Amitabha,
But when Aunt Xue came to see her and quietly expressed her thoughts, Mrs. Wang was shocked again: "What exactly do you want to do?"
In the wing room next to Rongxi Hall in Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were sitting on the Kang. There was a small table between them, with a tea cup, a fruit plate, and some melon seeds and peanuts on it.
Mrs. Wang looked at Aunt Xue with a calm expression and asked.
Aunt Xue slowly picked out a melon seed, peeled it with her hands, put it in the palm of her hand, picked another melon seed, peeled it again, and saved it...
After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, she smiled softly, then sighed and said, "What else could it be for? It's just for the Xue family."
Mrs. Wang frowned when she heard the words, but after thinking about it, she swallowed the words that were on her lips and sighed, "Why are you here? It's not like there is no one in the Xue family anymore. No matter what happens, you don't need to stand up...
…”
Aunt Xue smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "Even if it's not for the old Xue family, it's for my house, Pan'er and Bao Yatou."
"Then you are not like this, are you? You are not being looked down upon, but you are fawning over him? The Lin family boy's father was born in Tanhua, and he did not use such a good resource, but he gave up his literary career and became a rough martial artist. Every day
He is so busy that his feet never touch the ground, which shows that he has a hard life. Moreover, this official is probably over, so what can he do? Why? "
Mrs. Wang said with disdain.
At the same time, I was gloating in my heart.
Jia Min was so arrogant and innocent at the beginning. She finally married a young man and thought her life would be glorious. However, she never imagined that her son was careless and insisted on becoming a royal guard.
The strange thing is that Jia Min stayed in Shandong and did not return to Beijing. On the surface, he was taking care of his uncle, but in fact, he was afraid that his son would be worried and would be too embarrassed to come back!
Hum hum.
My gem is still blessed and has great fortune.
Not only is he the younger brother of the imperial concubine, he is also a serious uncle of the country. He was also born with a jade in his mouth. He has great blessings and great joy. Needless to say, his future achievements will be a hundred times better than that of Lin Zhao.
Sister, it’s true that if you just tie your heart to the Jia family, why bother bowing to the Lin family?
Of course, these words were spoken in Mrs. Wang's heart and would never be spoken out.
Because she knew that if she said this, she would only be called frivolous and bring disgrace on the imperial concubine.
A flash of anger flashed in Aunt Xue's heart.
"You have a daughter of a noble concubine, but so what? You can't save Pan'er. Your house is the palace of the Duke of the country. How noble are the four kings and eight princes? But so what? If you can't save Pan'er, you are the four kings and eight princes.
Emperor, what can I do? Besides, if you want Pan'er to establish a group of bad friends and become progressive, it seems that only the Lin family has said so. You Rongguo Mansion are serious relatives, I think Pan'er will follow you Taoist priests
A bit more depraved than before.”
Of course, these words are also from Aunt Xue's heart and will not be spoken out.
Usually I don't have this kind of thought.
I just feel that the Rongguo Mansion is worthy of being a century-old family, and there is a noble concubine. If they can get closer and get married, it will be of great help to Xue Pan's future.
but……
Xue Pan was arrested, whipped, and sentenced to two months of forced labor.
This earth-shattering event was like a thunderbolt, striking Aunt Xue's heart hard.
She figured it out quickly.
What's the use of the wealth in Rongguo Mansion? It's not as rich as the Xue family.
Having a noble concubine seems to be a great thing, but the Xue family seems to be unable to take advantage of it because they cannot save Pan'er.
If that's the case, then why am I still hanging on a tree?
"Hey!" Aunt Xue sighed and said: "I don't have any other ideas. I just want to form a good relationship. Anyway, I'm just a maid. But then again, if there is really no way, then it's okay.
It doesn’t matter, after all, it’s not easy to get to know each other, isn’t it? By the way, why don’t you see Baoyu coming to greet you?”
"Baoyu." Mrs. Wang thought of her phoenix egg and couldn't help but smile on her face: "The young master of General Shenwu's family invited him to drink and went there early in the morning."
Think about the people that Baoyu has met?
Shenwu General Feng Tang's yamen, what a noble son.
Who doesn't know that Feng Tang is in charge of Xiaoqiying and Jianruiying and is the emperor's most trusted minister. This is the person his Baoyu should get to know.
How can the leader of the Jin Yiwei Fanzi be compared with the Shenwu General family?
…
"Baoyu, I heard that you stayed at Jinyiwei Lin Tongzhi's place for a day. What a great fate!"
But it was Feng Ziying's house, where three or five friends gathered together, and Miss Yun'er from Jinxiangyuan was accompanying her, so the atmosphere was quite lively.
Feng Ziying personally picked up a glass of water and wine, handed it to Baoyu, and said with a smile: "It is said in the capital that the "Heroes" are praised. Lin Zhao ranks second, so he is a hero well-known in the capital. I wonder if Baoyu can introduce me to this?"
Waiting for a hero, it would be a pity if you miss it."
As he spoke, Feng Ziying looked at Baoyu with a pair of eager eyes.
Baoyu was startled: "No way, his market price is so high?"
Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Baoyu, you are so blessed that you don't know how lucky you are! It has only been a few days since your cousin presided over the severe crackdown. Our entire city of Chang'an has been completely renewed. Even those of us in the yamen feel at ease when traveling, let alone those ordinary people? I heard that
His Majesty also praised him several times, saying that he is a capable minister and official who should be put to great use. Shouldn't such a hero be introduced to us?"
Listening to Feng Ziying's words, Baoyu suddenly felt that the wine in the glass was a bit bland.
…
While these yamen were drinking and having fun, Lin Zhao had just bid farewell to the emperor and was about to walk to the city gate when he was suddenly stopped by an eunuch coming towards him.
"Eunuch Xia!"
Lin Zhao bowed slightly and handed a diamond to the other party's hand.
This eunuch is called Xia Shouzhong, and he is the eunuch of the Palace of Internal Affairs. He can be said to have a high position of authority.
You must know that the Royal Horse Prison is another palace army that is different from the Forbidden Army. It is a "Forest Army" that legally belongs to the emperor and is a private armed force. Therefore, the three eunuchs who are in charge of the Royal Horse Prison, the supervisory eunuch and the admiral eunuch,
He was Emperor Xiaode's most trusted person in the palace, second only to Dai Quan.
Faced with such a great eunuch, Lin Zhao, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, must of course treat him with courtesy.
But that's all.
No matter how much he goes down to earth to practice and try his best to use his magical powers, he will still have a clear mind in the end.
"Lin Tongzhi, do you have free time in the evening? Our family is hosting a banquet at home to entertain some friends. If you have nothing to do, why not come over and have a few drinks."
Xia Shouzhong said with a smile.
"Well, Eunuch Xia gave his orders, how dare Lin Zhao disobey."
Lin Zhao smiled.
"We'll be waiting for you tonight!"
Xia Shouzhong said.
After saying that, the two of them separated. They stood there and looked back at Xia Shouzhong's back. A smile appeared on Lin Zhao's lips, but there was a hint of sinisterness in his eyes.
There was something wrong with this banquet. He had a good relationship with the eunuchs in the palace, but they were not good enough for the eunuch to invite him personally.
Besides, he is an internal prisoner, while Lin Zhao is an external military commander. Generally, you should not get too close.
However, Zai and Xia Shouzhong did not shy away from it. They took the initiative to invite people at the palace gate, which was a crowded place. It seemed that their intentions were not small.
There is no good feast, I'm afraid it is very likely to happen.
