Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 334 Yin En I

Dai Quan had been in and out several times at night, and he didn't know whether it was for things outside the palace or inside the palace, but Jia Ying was finally able to leave the palace after dawn at five o'clock on the second day.

After walking out of Miyagi smoothly, Jia Ying understood that Ye Baichuan's melody should have been placed in front of Jiade.

Looking back towards the direction of the palace, she smiled slightly, and jumped into the carriage that had already been waiting outside the gate of the palace. Xi'er had already been waiting here at some point.

"How is the house?"

"Back to the second master, on the second watch last night, someone from the Dongfu went to the Bo's residence to report the funeral, saying that Grandma Rong had died, and my father went to the Dongfu last night."

"I heard from Aunt Lvrong that Miss Lin and Miss Qi didn't sleep last night, and just after four o'clock this morning, they went to the East Mansion again."

"General Qi sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that last night, following the order of the palace and cabinet, the naval forces have been transferred out of the capital overnight."

"."

Xi'er narrated everything that happened in the mansion unhurriedly, but when he finished speaking, his second master didn't respond, so he gently opened a corner of the curtain and took a look in, and then let the boy who led the horse slow down.

When Jia Ying woke up again, she was already on the bed in her bedroom, probably Xi'er carried her back.

"Wake up." Daiyu's gentle voice rang in her ears.

Jia Ying shook her head, which still felt a little groggy, and took the tea bowl brought by Baochun, poured the tea into her stomach, and relieved most of her drowsiness, and asked:

"What time is it?"

"It's just past time, the first quarter of noon." Daiyu replied.

Jia Ying looked at the two people in front of her and said, "I'm just a little tired, why do you stay here all the time, you didn't sleep all night last night?"

"Didn't I ask Xi'er to bring you a message a long time ago, don't worry about me, put down the rebels, save the court, it's too late for the palace to reward me."

While talking, Jia Ying held Daiyu's jade hand, and gently pulled her to her side, Baochun said very wittily: "Girl Lurong, she is so slow to draw water, second master, girl, you first Let’s go, I’ll go out and have a look.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the outside room, leaving room for the two to talk alone, but happened to meet Lv Rong who was walking with a basin.

"Why did my sister come out, the second master is awake?"

Baochun stretched out her finger to make a silent gesture around her mouth, and sat down outside with the green velvet.

"Don't rush in, the second master is talking to the girl."

Daiyu is no different than those who have undergone personnel affairs, she is still a girl who has not left the cabinet, if others are present, she will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

Inside the house.

As soon as Baochun left, Jia Ying let go of her hands and feet, and took Daiyu into her arms.

"You have worked hard these days."

Daiyu faded the blush on her cheeks, leaned against Jia Ying's arms, breathed the familiar and masculine breath, felt an indescribable ease and tranquility in her heart, a hint of sleepiness floated on her brows, and said lazily: "You don't want to go to school every day." Back home, I will naturally not let go of my heart."

"In the past few days, Uncle Wu has been taking care of it inside and out. I'm just helping out, and I'm accompanied by Sister Qi. If it's hard work, it's Uncle Wu and the others."

Someone had already reported to Jia Ying what happened in the mansion. No matter how much Zhou Siwu gained Jia Ying's trust, he was still only the housekeeper of the uncle's mansion. It was thanks to Daiyu to make thorough contact with him about the matter of the two mansions before, especially when he ordered several mansions to be sent to him that day. The unruly servant boy in the village went to the top of the city to defend the city, and the sword and arrow did not have eyes, and he probably would not come back after going. This kind of decision was a bit cruel for the always kind-hearted Daiyu, and it was decided with one word. Life and death, not everyone has such a cruel heart.

"How about my aunt, when I have time today, I will accompany you back to the Lin Mansion."

The rebels broke through from the north of the city, and Lin's Mansion was next to Deshengmen. The Rong Mansion had been patronized by the rebels, so I don't know what happened to Lin's Mansion.Of course, people must be fine.

Jia Ying's words fell, but Daiyu did not respond. Looking down, the girl's eyes were lightly closed, her long eyelashes unblinking, her weak breath blew on Jia Ying's bare arms, which felt a little itchy.

Jia Ying circled Daiyu's big hand and gently rubbed it on the soft arm of the person in her arms, staring at Daiyu's face gradually falling into a deep sleep with a smile on her lips, it wasn't a shocking touch, but she felt extraordinarily peaceful in her heart at this moment, What kind of swords and swords are outside, after returning home, I can see that the people I care about are safe and sound, and I feel a great sense of satisfaction in my heart.

My own tree is okay, it can support a piece of shade, and being relied on by others is also a kind of happiness.

Jia Ying slowly adjusted her sitting posture, hugged Daiyu who was half on the edge of the couch, and lay down in her arms, leaning back slightly, leaning on the couch, with her right leg bent and one arm resting on the back of her head , in order to let his eyes see the beautiful woman in his arms at a glance.

The sun shines through the glass windows and covers the entire bed. In the wind and rain, it is rare to have a peaceful place, which makes people feel very comfortable.

I don't know how long it has passed, just when Jia Ying was slightly sleepy, Baochun raised the curtain and walked in. Seeing the scene inside the house, he couldn't help but lighten his steps a few steps.

Jia Ying woke up, slowly pulled out her somewhat numb arms, and helped Daiyu who was sleeping soundly covered with a thin blanket, and then went out of the room with Baochun.

"Second Master, wipe your face." Lv Rong came over with a basin in her hand.

"Where is Little Changsheng?"

"It's at the empress's place. I've been tossing a lot in the morning. I was afraid that he would disturb the second master, so I sent it over. I'm afraid he just fell asleep after eating milk."

"What's going on ahead? Where's Miss Qi?"

"Just about to go back to the second master, Mr. Zheng sent someone to ask the second master to go back to the mansion. Many old acquaintances came to the mansion to mourn. Mr. Zheng wanted to invite the second master to come over. At the moment, Miss Qi is staying with you in the East mansion. Where is Grandma?"

Jia Ying nodded, although the relationship between Jia Ying and Qi Sixian was no secret, but he hadn't entered the mansion after all, and he was the head of the county, so naturally he had to go to offer his condolences according to the etiquette.

As for Jia Zheng wanting to invite him over, Jia Ying probably can figure out what's going on.

"There's nothing wrong with Rong's daughter-in-law."

Baochun replied: "Miss Chang helped to prescribe the prescription, saying that within a day, people will fall into a deep sleep, as if passed out, and will not be noticed. When they are encoffined, Lvrong and I will take advantage of the night Just take it out."

"Second master, okay, why do you have to fake death? Seeing how Uncle Xiaorong looks, she is very cooperative. Miss Chang is willing to help cover it up. I just can't figure out that even if a person faints, he should have a pulse. Second master is not afraid to call people Look out."

Jia Ying said with a smile: "The way of medicine is broad and profound. How much do you know? There are many ways to fake death in this world. As for the pulse, I know a way."

As he spoke, he picked up the soap in the box beside him, put it under his arm, and then handed his arm to Baochun.

Baochun tapped his wrists with two fingers, and in the next second, a strange light appeared in his eyes.

Jia Ying opened her arms, took out the pancreas under her arm, and said, "Actually, as long as Miss Chang is willing to help, there is basically no problem with this matter."

Everyone in Jia's mansion has seen Chang Zhenling's medical skills. Since the grandparents of Chang's family and grandson came to Beijing, it has been much more convenient for the female family members in the mansion. If you have any headaches, you don't have to worry about those quack doctors randomly prescribing prescriptions and harming them. The dead don't pay for their lives.

The words that came out of her mouth were naturally believed by everyone.

Keqing still died, of course this death was a bit different from the previous death, but from now on there will be no woman named Qin Keqing in this world.

It's okay if it's gone, the mansion has finally been clean since then.

Although Jia Ying looked down on Mu Hong's backstabbing schemes and could not see the light, he did not dare to underestimate Mu Hong. It would be troublesome to keep some things.

Now it's all right, it's dead.It doesn't matter whether outsiders believe it or not, after all, this person will never appear again.

As for Jia Rong's performance, it's nothing. Ever since Keqing was diagnosed with a happy pulse last time, Jia Rong always felt that it was his father who put a touch of green on the top of his son's head, and he wanted to divorce him. , but you have to pass Jia Zhen's test to succeed.

There is no feminist movement at the moment. For most men, changing women is as casual as changing clothes. Jia Rong is really looking forward to it.

"How does Second Master plan to settle her down?" Baochun asked.

Jia Ying frowned, this is a troublesome matter, her identity is a bit sensitive, she put it outside, it's always unreliable, stay by her side.
Jia Ying shook her head and said, "Let's take you to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city first, and let's take a step."

The entire East Mansion was filled with mourning, people coming and going outside the courtyard, people who usually move but do not move, and anyone who can have a relationship with them, they all came to express their condolences.

"Say hello to Second Uncle." Jia Rong greeted him from afar.

"Yeah." Jia Ying nodded calmly and asked, "Where are Mr. Zheng and the others?"

"Master Zheng and the elders of the family are in the lobby, just waiting for the second uncle to pass."

"What did you do in the past?" Jia Ying asked back.

"Uh..." Jia Rong's expression froze, and then she said, "Father said, we want to hold a decent funeral, please ask Second Uncle to discuss it."

The corners of Jia Ying's mouth twitched, this Jia Zhen is really... hard to change her nature.

"Who are the foreign visitors?" Jia Ying asked.

"Several old acquaintances have come here. The Prince of Beijing came in person, the Prince of Xining was the heir of Marquis Lan, and the son of Prince Nan'an. The principals of other Jia's mansions also came to express their condolences. There is a lot of noise in the mansion, and now I am invited to sit in the west mansion."

"When you return to your father, just say that I will not go there. In terms of funerals, everything is in accordance with the rules, and you must not overstep the rules. Right now, there is a disaster in Beijing, and every household is mourning. Thousands of soldiers guarding the city died in battle. Those who have not yet shown their mournful appearance, and our family is the only one who manages such a big deal, is it to alarm the palace?"

The imperial court has not started to investigate the Liaodong matter, and Shi Ding's guilt cannot be escaped. Although he has prepared for it, there is no guarantee that the Jia family will not be involved.In recent years, the two governments have paid filial piety to Liaodong. How did the money come from? Smuggling salt, iron, ordnance, fur and medicinal materials. Of course, for the Jia family today, as long as they don’t end up in person, it’s not a big deal. , but there is no guarantee that no one will make a fuss about it. His position is high, and there are many people staring at him.

As for not going to the lobby to discuss matters, it was also Jia Ying's intention. He didn't support him, but wanted to see if the bosses would go against him.

With Jia Ying's current status, he wanted to get rid of Jia Zhen's patriarch, but raising his hand, he was also the grandson of the head of the Ning family, so it was also acceptable in terms of etiquette.

He was just the patriarch of the Jia family, and he was no longer in Jia Ying's eyes.He put all his heart and energy into the court, so he didn't care about these trivial matters in the clan, so let Jia Zhen go to work by herself, and save him from worrying.

It doesn't matter whether there is a patriarch or not. Does anyone dare to disobey his words now?

"The coffin will be suspended for seven days. Remember to send someone to guard it for a while after the burial. Don't let those cats and dogs smell it."

There was a period of ten days and half a month, enough for the body to decompose, and no guard could recognize it.

After finishing speaking, Jia Ying turned and went to the West Mansion.

As for Keqing's "funeral", as an elder, it is enough to show his face. Should he be wiped away tears like Jia Zhen?
Sure enough, Jia Rong went to the lobby and repeated Jia Ying's words. Except for Jia Zhen who seemed to be constipated, everyone else agreed like grass on the wall. In the end, it was Jia Zheng who said, "I think what Yinger said It's reasonable, the matter of the historian has not passed yet, and now there is such a major event in Liaodong, and there are many things in the court at the moment, it's better for us to keep a low profile."

The matter was naturally settled in this way, Jia Zheng did not stay in the East Mansion too much, and the guests from the West Mansion also needed someone to entertain them.

In Rongguo Mansion, in the South Hall, Jia Ying exchanged pleasantries with everyone, and then talked about today's theme. It's just that the East Mansion lost a daughter-in-law, and it's not that the male heir in the mansion died. After getting up, every family came to offer their condolences in a hurry, and all the people who came were the principals of the various houses.

Of course, he didn't just come here to pay tribute to the mourning. Last time, Jia Ying had some disagreements with other families because of the Liaodong incident. Only the four princes gave him face and remained neutral.Today, the principals of the six mansions came, including Hou Xiaokang and Chen Wenrui, and some principals of the Houfu Bofu.

"Just now Liu Shibo talked about yesterday's incident. Brother Shi's suppression of the rebellion was a great achievement, why did he do such a dangerous thing." Although Shui Rong is young, he is the most respected person here, so he can make the first move.

Jia Ying looked at the people in the hall and said: "The problem of Liaodong has been going on for a day or two. This time it was completely exposed. No matter how much you try to hide it, you can't hide it anymore. Do you think the court will just expose it and not mention it?" ?”

Liu Fang nodded and said: "There have been rumors in the court that the cabinet has long been dissatisfied with us who bought the land. Now that the political reform has come to an end, Fu Donglai and Ye Baichuan seem to intend to reorganize the military system. Matters in the military are not related to one family or two. This is the foundation of our standing. Yan Huasong’s memorial arrived in Beijing yesterday, saying that Cen Pingnan was already on his way to the capital. Hearing Ye Baichuan’s intentions, it seems that he intends to recommend him For the general army of Liaodong."

"Shanxi Second Town, since the Great Colleague Change, has been taken back by the court, and a King Suzhong was sent there. The generals in the army have changed all the generals, and now it's Liaodong's turn. "

At the beginning, Lantian Yu was deprived of the commanding power of the Western Army camp, but fortunately, the person who replaced him was Wang Ziteng, and the meat rotted into his own pot, so no one would say anything.

But now it's different, the imperial court's nails on the nine sides have become powerful, but the living space of nobles is getting smaller and smaller.

Although after the founding of the dynasty, Taizu stipulated that "everyone who is not a country's military merits shall not be granted, and a title shall not be granted unless it is a special decree." But since Taizu, the emperors of the three dynasties have had new nobles born, except for those who were in the early days of Xuanlong in the last years of Gaozu. The group of Xuanlong nobles was an exception, and most of the others were from the founding clan, including Jia Ying, his own descendant, and some once outstanding generals.

This kind of alternation between the old and the new within the noble family does not affect the living space of each family. No matter which family gains power, it is necessary to take care of other families. This is the core of maintaining the interests of the founding family.And this kind of alternation between old and new can be accomplished because Nine Sides is under the control of the nobles. If you want to make meritorious service, you have to have an opportunity, and this kind of opportunity is only in the hands of each family. This is a political monopoly.

The reason why Xuanlong Xungui became the life and death enemy of the founding family, stepped on and stepped on by several alliances, and still refuses to stop making peace, is because the other party did not follow the path provided by the family.

Now that Shanxi Second Township has been transferred out, if Liaodong Township falls into the hands of outsiders again, the honorable forces will have to shrink back to the Northwest where the birds don't shit.

Some people say that there is Xuanfu Jizhou, and the King Nan'an who is far away in southern Xinjiang.

There is a bottom line in everything you do, and the Xuan Mansion is the bottom line that every family must stick to. As the gate of the capital facing the north, it is like the guard of Shanhaiguan, which can only be controlled by the emperor.

And the southern border is too far away from Beijing, and compared with the nine borders, the importance of the southern border is still inferior.Let’s just talk about Cen Pingnan, who followed Nan’an King when he went south to Yunnan, and made a lot of contributions to the country, but it was not until after the rebellion against Huguang that in order to share the achievements of Wang Ziteng, he was rewarded by the court with a no-nonsense award. hereditary earl.

If this is changed to Nine Sides, Yin En's generation will not be a problem.

"We must not let Liaodong fall into the hands of outsiders." Someone said.

"Nephew, you are the first to put down the rebellion. If you want to fight, we will support you with both hands. We are not afraid that the court will not give in." Someone said to Jia Ying.

It's just that Jia Ying already has her own plans for the future. Places like Liaodong are unimportant, but for Jia Ying, the foundation is still too weak. There is no Beijing camp for decades, and she wants to use it as her base. I'm afraid it's difficult.

Moreover, he has reached an agreement with the emperor.

Jia Ying shook her head, and said calmly, "I'm afraid you are thinking too much. After such a big incident, do you think the court will back down? It's not impossible for me to fight for it. I also trust you all." I will help you with all my strength, but I am afraid that before you can speak out, the imperial court will first accuse you of the Liaodong incident."

Everyone couldn't help but look dark.

"Then we just hand it over to others?" Someone said unwillingly.

Jia Ying looked at Shui Rong and said, "My lord asked me why I took the risk of killing the rebels outside the city."

"With a [-] army, no more than [-] were actually killed in battle. The issue of how to deal with the [-] rebels has become a major issue. Once this kind of thing is brought to the court, it will be like pulling out carrots and bringing out mud. Who knows how many people there will be?" His family will be implicated. His Majesty is happy to see this, but as Liu Shibo said, the cabinet will not let this opportunity go."

"Now that I have killed [-] people, it can be regarded as an explanation to the court. I will spread the fire for them, and then remove the young and strong who were coerced. There are not many left, and it is much easier to deal with. It is nothing more than Exile as a slave. Only if I am ruthless enough, the court will not be able to make use of it."

2 people, a huge number, enough to give an explanation to the imperial court and the world.

As long as the imperial court stopped holding the rebels, it might as well just investigate the officialdom. It was nothing more than a matter of profit. It was much more difficult to move to Xungui based on this than to be implicated in the rebellion.

Of course, Jia Ying said this to let everyone know how much he has paid for everyone's interests.

"I see." Shui Rong looked at Jia Ying and nodded emphatically.

Everyone looked at Jia Ying with more kindness and kindness.

"However, we don't necessarily have to fight." Jia Ying said again.

"How to say?"

"If I played in person, the target would be too big and I would be easily targeted"

Everyone nodded. After all, Jia Ying came from the government, and in the eyes of all the court officials, he was always from Xungui's family.

"But we can support one person to come out and compete with Cen Pingnan, but this requires everyone's support. If we still have our own ideas and go our own way like last time, then everyone should disperse as soon as possible."

"The Jia family is not short of achievements, and the Jia family is not short of the emperor's favor. The reason why I am still willing to sit down with you to discuss business is because of the friendship between our ancestors. What should be done, what about you guys?" Jia Ying looked around at the crowd and asked seriously.

Among the nobles, since the death of the old King Beijing, there is no one who has outstanding qualifications and abilities, and who has convinced all the families to gather the nobles together, causing each family to have their own thoughts, and they are greatly torn apart. image.

And in the past, everyone always regarded him as a junior, which was wrong.

At least in Jia Ying's opinion, it's not good to be underestimated like this.

But for what he wants to do, the DPRK and China cannot lack allies, and the close relationship of Xungui's natural interests is exactly what he needs, but it is not necessary.

What he has to do today is to let the family recognize his status, and to make some preparations for the upcoming westward and northern expedition.

Many of the generals in the Western Army have connections with various governments, and the support of each family is a big help for Jia Ying to control the army.

"Nephew, what are you talking about? Don't you all come here today just for nephew? We are all old and can't fight anymore. What happens in the future depends on your younger generation." Ma Shangde said: "It's just that we must never look at the inheritance left by our ancestors and ruin it in the hands of our generation."

Liu Fang also nodded and said, "Jia Ying, you don't have to worry about what happened last time. Our nobles have broken bones and tendons, and everyone knows it in their hearts, of course."

Liu Fang looked around at the crowd: "Anyone who doesn't understand is making an enemy of our families. You can decide for yourself what to do when the time comes, and everyone will have no second opinion."

Shui Rong also nodded.

Jia Ying looked at Lan Shu.

"Father said that there are still many old troops in the Western Army. From now on, Uncle Shi will let him do what he wants to do directly. It's just that my father has been in the army for many years, and after days of defending the city against the enemy, his old injuries relapsed and he was unwell and couldn't come. Uncle Shi please take care of me." Lan Shu said.

Jia Ying thought about it. After all, Lan Tianyu was a veteran in the battlefield. He probably saw something. He nodded with a smile and said, "There are some Liaodong old ginseng in the mansion. You can take them back to your father and give them to Lan Tianyu for me. Greetings from Hou, I will visit you again when I have a chance."

Liu Fang asked: "Who is the person that my nephew just said was fighting with Cen Pingnan?"

"Song Law."

"Song Lv? The Song Lv who prepares Japanese soldiers?"

Jia Ying nodded.

Liu Fang said: "His qualifications are a bit shallow. Compared with veterans like Cen Pingnan, I'm afraid he doesn't have much advantage."

"But Cen Pingnan doesn't have any direct descendants in the north, and Song Lu has the Japanese soldiers who have just made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion. I also have tens of thousands of horses from the original Liaodong frontier army in my hand. The left servant of the Ministry of War asked me for them yesterday. This batch of war horses, but I did not agree on the spot, if you want to defend Liaodong, you must have soldiers, this is Song Lv's advantage."

"Is this person reliable?"

"That depends on what you do in the future."

Liu Fang finally nodded after exchanging glances with several older generations of Ma Shangde.

"Okay, that's him."

At this moment, Lin Zhixiao walked in from the door and said, "Second Master, there is a decree from the palace, and it is for you."

"Here we come." Jia Ying said with a heartbeat, he never thought it would be so soon.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, said: Since Zijing Ningbo Jiaying became an official, he has served as Wei Xunde, with aspirations and wisdom, resisted rebellion, and made brilliant achievements. He has inherited Ming Ming's order and can be promoted to be a marquis. Yin En I, The rest is the same as before. This is it."

"Jingninghou, congratulations from our family."

It was Dai Quan who proclaimed the decree. This kind of courtesy is not unreasonable.

What Jiade said last night, "Lantian jade controls the Western Army with the Marquis of Xining", implied that Jia Ying would go to the Western Army as a marquis, but Jia Ying couldn't guess what kind of marquis it would be.

Jia Ying respectfully completed the imperial decree, and said to Dai Quan with a smile on his face: "Eunuch is working, today the mansion has a funeral, and the reception is not good, so please take care of him. You can rest inside and go back to the palace before it's too late."

"The Marquis of Jingning is sad, we won't stay any longer, Your Majesty."

"Understood, I understand, I will send it to Eunuch."

"There are a lot of guests in your residence, please stay for the Marquis of Jingning."

Outside the gate of the mansion, Jia Ying said to Dai Quan who was sitting in the sedan chair: "Today is inconvenient, I will visit my father-in-law another day."

　I'm in a bit of a rush today.
