serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 435 Another Mid-Autumn Festival 4
The moonlight over the imperial city was so white and bright, shining quietly.

Under the moonlight, there was silence in Cining Palace, and the air seemed to have solidified.

In the Nuan Pavilion of the palace, Jia Yuanchun was sitting on the couch under the north window, looking at the hazy moonlight outside the window in trance.

Suddenly, there were sounds of wooden sticks hitting the ground outside the Nuan Pavilion.

After a moment, Dai Quan slowly walked in from the door, leaning on a wooden stick.

"How do you say it?" Jia Yuanchun asked suddenly.

Dai Quan hesitated for a moment and replied: "The Ministry of War has re-deduced based on King Ning's guess. In three months, at the latest in the twelfth lunar month, the rebels' front can be directed towards Jinling."

"Isn't there a loyal minister in Huguang?" Jia Yuanchun turned around, with a little sadness in his eyes.

For this reason, Dai Quan had nothing to hide: "There are not many loyal ministers in the Zhou Dynasty. The first assistant is counted as one, Li Shouzhong is counted as one, and the second assistant is counted as half. Maybe there are some in the local area, and others They all have their own little thoughts.”

After a pause, "The country's abbot counts as one."

"Where are the other members of the Jia family?" Jia Yuanchun asked again.

Dai Quan gritted his teeth after hearing this: "Queen Mother, let me tell you something you may not like to hear. Even if Prince Ning doesn't have any rebellious intentions now, he will definitely do so in the future. We have to be careful."

"How to prevent it?" Jia Yuanchun asked.

"Winning over the Niu family and the Feng family internally, and suppressing the Jia family in the court."

Dai Quan glanced at Jia Yuanchun cautiously, and then continued: "Join Li Chengyang with the outside world to weaken the Yongwei camp, so that the court and the north and south of the Yangtze River can maintain a balance. Then drag it out until it is beneficial to your majesty."

Jia Yuanchun was silent, and then suddenly said: "Can your Majesty grow up safely?"

This was difficult to answer. Dai Quan thought for a while and replied thoughtfully: "Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings. He will be fine."

Jia Yuanchun was silent for a while, and finally nodded heavily.

Seeing that Jia Yuanchun agreed, Dai Quan felt relieved and took out a letter from his sleeve: "Queen Mother, this is a letter written by Li Chengyang to the King of Zhennan, and then the King of Zhennan translated it. At present, only the old slave and the chief minister I have read this letter."

"Oh?"

Jia Yuanchun took the letter and read it. Her face became a little ugly as her eyes moved over the letter. After reading the letter, she closed it gently and thought about it carefully.

Dai Quan lowered his voice: "Maybe we can save the Wu family."

Jia Yuanchun showed a complicated expression on his face, turned his head and looked at the moonlight outside the window, and said to himself: "Is an emperor who loses power still an emperor?"

Dai Quan's eyes were a little dim: "According to the current situation, the best outcome for His Majesty is to abdicate, and then be imprisoned until death. The chief minister wants Zhennan King to contact Li Chengyang and see what happens."

Jia Yuanchun pondered for a while, then said, "Then go."

"Yes." Dai Quan leaned on his wooden staff and saluted Jia Yuanchun, then dragged his lame leg and walked out of the hall with a limp.

Jia Yuanchun was really unwilling and stared at the direction Dai Quan was walking in.
The moonlight also splashed quietly on the ridge of the backyard of Ning'an Hall.

Unlike Cining Palace, bursts of joy and laughter came from the bedroom
"Drive! Drive!"

The twins are extremely smart. They can already speak a few words at the age of eight or nine months. They are also taller than Wang Xifeng's son, who is nearly three months older than their siblings. Wang Xifeng's son did not know how many times he was beaten to tears by Jia Jinxuan. , which made Lin Daiyu embarrassed to invite Wang Xifeng and others over.

Jia Jinxuan was riding on Jia Hu's shoulders, shouting excitedly, directing Jia Hu to trot back and forth.

Seeing that Jia Hu was as happy as a child, Lin Daiyu was also happy. Then she looked at Jia Song, who was sitting alone on the kang and playing with her bicycle. She couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly. The father and son were always staring at each other, and no one could look down on them. who.

At this time, Jia Hu came over with Jia Jinxuan in his arms, panting: "This girl is too tiring. I feel more tired than going in and out of the enemy's formation seven times."

Lin Daiyu looked at him and saw that his face was sweating. She quickly walked to the basin nearby, twisted a towel from it, gently wiped the sweat on his face, and said with a smile: "It's not like you are used to her." , find your own fault!"

Jia Hu smiled, put Jia Jinxuan on the kang, picked up the tea bowl and drank a few sips.

"What time is it?" Lin Daiyu suddenly asked.After hearing this, Jia Hu reached back into his pocket and took out his pocket watch. He took a look at it and said, "Xu Shi is almost over."

"So soon, it's almost the second watch."

Seeing Jia Jinxuan reaching out to grab the mooncakes on the Kang table, Lin Daiyu hurriedly brought the plate to the wooden table aside and said to Jia Hu: "The old lady should take Tanchun, Xiangyun and the others to enjoy the moon on the mountain at this time."

Jia Hu looked at her with a smile: "It's not you who is looking for trouble!"

"."

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes at him, "I can't imitate Feng Yatou, leaving their siblings to the wet nurse and running to enjoy the moon by myself."

Jia Hu smiled, glanced at the bicycle in Jia Song's hand, and said to Lin Daiyu: "Baoyu is pretty good" and told him again about Baoyu's report to him.

Lin Daiyu thought for a while and asked, "What are your plans?"

Jia Hu looked at her: "No matter who he is, he is at most disgusting. In the face of the general trend, everything is an ant!"

Lin Daiyu nodded.

Suddenly, Jia Hu laughed.

Lin Daiyu looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Jia Hu held back his laughter and said, "Your second uncle is not as wishful and obedient as he appears to be. In the eldest master's study, he mentioned that I, the prince of Jin Dynasty, was specially appointed as a marquis by the eldest master, tsk tsk. Then... The stock tastes sour.”

Lin Daiyu blinked her eyes a few times and asked, "Really?"

Jia Hu nodded.

Lin Daiyu blinked, then burst into laughter, then covered her mouth and laughed.

After laughing, Lin Daiyu said: "I didn't expect my second uncle to have this side."

Jia Hu curled his lips: "Prude."

"Go, you are not allowed to talk about my uncle like that."

Lin Daiyu punched Jia Hu and asked, "How long can you stay at home?"

Jia Hu: "It's early. The frontier troops in the north will not be able to complete their assembly until mid-September at the earliest, as well as the transportation of military supplies. They will not be able to leave until mid-to-late October at the earliest!" After saying this, he looked at her and smiled: "What, you can't bear to leave me?"

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes: "Don't be shameless, and don't be afraid of children's jokes."

The two of them were chatting when they suddenly realized something was wrong and turned their heads together.

Jia Jinxuan and Jia Song, siblings, lay on the kang and fell asleep.

"."

Jia Hu and Lin Daiyu looked at each other, why did they suddenly fall asleep?
After going out and calling the wet nurse, Jia Hu watched their siblings being taken away by the wet nurse. Jia Hu thought for a while and said to Lin Daiyu: "It's only the second watch. I'll accompany you to the Grand View Garden to take a look at the moon."

Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and then she nodded vigorously.

Jia Hu took off the cloak hanging on the hanger and put it on Lin Daiyu, "Let's go." After saying that, he hugged Lin Daiyu and walked out.

As soon as they walked out of the bedroom, Zijuan and Xiangling came over to greet them, holding cloaks in their hands.

Jia Hu said angrily: "Go, go, go, I don't have any eyesight, you can find a place to hang out."

Watching the two figures disappearing outside the door, Zijuan and Xiangling were stunned.
