The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 74
The younger sister Xiangyun mentioned by everyone is the great-grandson of Jiamu's natal family - Baolinghou's Mansion, and her name is Shi Xiangyun.

Xiangyun's father is the eldest grandson of Baoling Hou Shigong.

Jiamu, the eldest daughter of Marquis Baoling, is Shi Xiangyun's aunt.

In comparison, Shi Xiangyun is a miserable man. He lost his father when he was young, and he has no brothers, so the title of Marquis of Bowling falls to the uncle of the second room.

Fortunately, shortly after Shi Xiangyun lost his father when he was young, his mother Jia took him to Rongguo Mansion to live temporarily; because Jia Mu was there to protect him, Shi Xiangyun lived a few years of carefree life.

However, blessings have never lasted forever since ancient times, and misfortunes never come singly.

Another way is that the hemp rope is specially broken at the fine point, and bad luck only finds the poor.

Before Shi Xiangyun lived a few years in Jia's mansion, Shi Xiangyun's mother also went with his father. Now, Shi Xiangyun really became a child without father and mother.

Coupled with the fact that she is not treated well by her uncle and aunt, not only does a majestic young lady of the Hou's mansion not only have no one around who needs a needleworker, but she also has a female celebrity who can't finish her work all day long!
Who can believe this?

Therefore, as Yingchun secretly sighed, children without parents grow up in bitter water!
However, perhaps because of nature, the more he lived in the bitter water, the more he developed Shi Xiangyun's lively, cheerful, free and unrestrained personality.

It's like her colloquial language.

Only a great hero can show his true colors, and he is a real celebrity himself!
…………

The book is back to normal.

But at the gate of the East Courtyard of the Hou Mansion, Xiangyun saw that everyone was eating lively, and couldn't help but angrily said: "Okay, you brothers and sisters, all gather together to play, eat delicious food and drink spicy food. Why don't you call me!"

Hearing this, Tanchun couldn't help laughing and said: "This girl, it's unreasonable to be so good. You were not at the house in the past, so it's okay for us big guys to call you, isn't it? Today is the first time here, but you are blaming us!"

Over there, Xichun smiled and took over the conversation, "We Xiangyun, that's a rogue who'll fight for three points for no reason. Does the third sister think this sentence is false?!"

After all, he pulled the stool away, got up and wanted to run.

Unexpectedly, Xiangyun seemed to have expected that Xichun would run away, and walked behind her when she opened her mouth. When Xichun pulled the stool, she just sent herself to Xiangyun's hand.

Shi Xiangyun pressed Xichun down on the stool, and his two white hands stretched to the sides of Xichun's cheeks. Taking advantage of Xichun's inattention, his onion-like jade fingers suddenly exerted force...

Xichun's flowery and jade-like face instantly became funny.

"Hey, good Xiangyun, let go!" Xichun's cheeks were pulled by Xiangyun, and she couldn't speak well, so she hurriedly begged for mercy.

Xiangyun knew how naughty Xichun was, so naturally he wouldn't let it go so easily, "Tell me, who is the naughty rogue?"

"It's me! It's me! I'm a rogue and I'm settled down!"

People under the eaves have to bow their heads.

With her cheeks under someone's hands, Xichun is just like Sun Dasheng who was crushed under Wuzhi Mountain, there is no way out.

You can only raise your hands and surrender!

Seeing this, Yingchun Tanchun and the others trembled with laughter, and said, "Xichun, the demon king of the world, has met a monkey who can subdue her today!"

Jia Jing couldn't help but smiled, and stretched out her hand to pull the two of them away, "Okay, they are all big girls who are going to get married in a blink of an eye, how can they still be so noisy?!"

Saying so, he ordered the maid on the other side: "Hurry up and add another pair of bowls and chopsticks to Miss Biao! Be careful that she will serve you as food and wine!"

Xiangyun stomped his feet, "Third brother Jing has turned bad!"

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again.

After a while, a servant girl quickly brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and another servant girl brought a stool and put it next to Baoyu.

Xiangyun didn't hesitate and sat down straight away.

After sitting down, he looked around the table, reached out and picked up the wine jug on the table, first poured wine for everyone, then shook the wine jug, "It's all over the table, just put it like this Third Brother Jing is too stingy for a small jug of wine, hurry up and bring out the two jars of your treasured wine, let's get drunk today!"

Jia Jing smiled and said: "I knew that our Miss Shi is a drunkard in every way! Every time I come here, the wine in my wine cellar must be reduced by a few pots!"

The crowd laughed again.

In the heavy snow, there was a staggering feast of toasts in the small courtyard.

For a moment, laughter filled the air.

…………

Inside the palace, Wenyuan Pavilion.

Compared with the severe cold outside, this place is full of heat.

A group of young eunuchs who came to help were screamed and ran around, rummaging through the mountain of memorials.

As for the cabinet ministers who were sitting on the side table, constantly searching and flipping through the memorials, their foreheads were dripping with sweat.

"no!"

"Neither here!"

"..."

The little eunuchs responded one after another, making the hearts of several cabinet ministers and Qiu Shi'an slowly sink.

And the little eunuchs who saw their faces getting dark little by little were even more frightened and kept silent, only feeling that the air pressure in the whole Wenyuan Pavilion seemed to drop a few degrees.

……

Today's incident originated from a casual thought of Emperor Hongde.

There was another heavy snowfall last night, and this was already the fifth heavy snowfall since the twelfth lunar month. The unbearably cold weather made Emperor Hongde think of Liaodong again.

It's already so cold in Shenjing, how cold should Liaodong be?

In the seasons of previous years, at the end of the year, the Liaodong frontier army's request for money and food from the imperial court had already been sent to the imperial case three times a day, but this year, I have never seen a single one.

Emperor Hongde admitted that he was a little panicked!
Hence, Emperor Hongde immediately called Qiu Shi'an over, "Qiu Banban, why hasn't Liaodong begged the imperial court for money and supplies this year, yet it has not been placed on my royal case?
You go to Wenyuan Pavilion and ask what's going on?

I always feel a little uneasy in my heart! "

"The minister obeys the order!"

Qiu Shi'an received Emperor Hongde's order and hurried to Wenyuan Pavilion to inquire.

This question is a big deal!
After some searching, everyone found out that since the twelfth lunar month, Liaodong's memorial to last month's political affairs has not entered Beijing!

This time, everyone felt a "click" in their hearts.

For the elders of the pavilion, the absence of the Liaodong memorial report, their own family has not noticed it, and they have not reported it, it is a dereliction of duty.

As the few people looked at each other in blank dismay, they only felt a bad idea arise in their hearts.

Yang Xiuchen made a decisive decision: "Go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation! I want to meet His Majesty!"

"Go together! Go together!"

Several other cabinet ministers also nodded repeatedly, and followed Qiu Shi'an and Yang Xiuchen to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Just walking halfway, everyone saw two tall imperial guards carrying a messenger who could no longer walk to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The bright yellow flag on the messenger's body and the blood-red feathers on his head made everyone's hearts jump again.

This is an urgent letter from eight hundred miles!
……

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Hongde didn't wait for Qiu Shi'an to bring back the information he wanted to know from Wenyuan Pavilion, but he first waited for a messenger who was about to freeze.

Lying on the ground of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the messenger was tired and frozen, and was already speechless.

I saw the letter tremblingly opened the bamboo tube on his body with extremely stiff hands, and poured out a letter from it.

Afterwards, the messenger pointed to the letter on the ground, and looked at Emperor Hongde with anticipation. The eyes full of expectation made Emperor Hongde tremble...

"Pfft!"

With eyes full of anticipation, the messenger fell to the ground, breathless!
