Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 162
Luoyunhou Mansion,

The two who were still talking in the front hall were also taken aback.

Wang Shihan reacted quickly,
Hastily shouted:

"Quick, open the middle door! Welcome the envoy!"

"Yes, old lady."

Then, seeing the second daughter Yueshu coming over, she also ordered;
"Prepare the table incense table, hurry up."

"It's the old lady."

Wang Xifeng, who was still in a daze, didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and knew it was a good thing without even thinking about it, so she also stood up and congratulated,

"Auntie, congratulations."

"You, that's the deal. You go back and prepare your manpower. When the new year gets warmer, you will go out for the first business trip. Now go out with me to receive the order."

"Yes."

Mrs. Wang led the crowd to the incense case in the courtyard.

The person who came here to read out the imperial decree was none other than Dai Quan, the Chief of Staff.

I saw Dai Quan in good spirits, wearing a red robe of the chief executive, followed by two rows of small yellow doors, looking majestic.

Seeing Mrs. Wang coming, she greeted her with a smile and was polite.
"Miscellaneous Dai Quan, I have met Mrs. Wang."

Mrs. Wang returned the gift and said with a smile,
"I've seen Nei Xiang, please trouble me to come here in person."

With a wave of Wang's hand, Lan Yue'er handed over a thousand tael bank note, and Dai Quan put it neatly into his sleeve, and glanced at the crowd, all of them were female relatives of Luo Yunhou's family, hey, isn't this honor? People from the government, why are you here.

But he did not delay, and continued,

"Then Mrs. Wang, the miscellaneous family began to read the imperial edict,"

"Luo Yunhou's mother, Wang Shi, took over the order."

"Wang Shihan, a civilian woman, accepts the order."

Wang led a group of family members to kneel at the incense table to receive the order.

"By heaven's blessing, the emperor said, there is Shihan, the king of Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River, who is very virtuous and has contributed to the court. I am specially named the first-rank lady of Dawu, and I respect you!"

"My wife, Wang Shihan, accepts the order."

Wang Shihan took the imperial decree respectfully and thanked Dai Quan.

Dai Quan complimented him there,
"The miscellaneous family congratulates Mrs. Wang. The emperor and the empress are also very concerned about Luoyunhou's marriage. If you have time, you can go directly to the harem to discuss with the empress."

"Thank you for the inner minister's notification. Please tell the empress that her wife, Mrs. Wang, will come to the palace for consultation in the next few days. I also thank my father-in-law for making an extra trip."

Naturally, Mrs. Wang's speech was impeccable, and the matter was handled properly.

Dai Quan also looked at him with admiration, as expected he was worthy of the Wang family of Jinling, it was not easy, he glanced at Wang Xifeng again, and prepared to leave without saying a word.

"The miscellaneous family doesn't disturb Mrs. Wang's rest anymore, and the miscellaneous family has also returned to the palace to deal with business. In the future, there will be many places for the miscellaneous family's House of Internal Affairs and the Hou's Mansion to deal with each other."

"The married woman will not keep the inner picture, and the inner picture will go slowly."

"Good talk good talk!"

Dai Quan led the little yellow gate under the guard of the forbidden army, and went back to the palace. He didn't ask anything about him from the beginning to the end, let alone mention anything about Jia's family.

Wang Xifeng looked at all this enviously, but also calmed down, and bid farewell to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang naturally did not keep her, and asked Yue'er to send her out of the gate of the mansion.

Walking out of Luoyunhou Mansion and back on the carriage, Ping'er asked worriedly,
"Grandma, can this be done?"

"Whether it can be done or not is not a matter of my aunt's words? As for the caravan of the Duke's Mansion, whoever loves it will take care of it. This aunt is not easy."

Wang Xifeng muttered to himself in the car, as if answering Ping'er or asking himself a question.

The carriage started and slowly drove towards the Rongguo Mansion. Suddenly Wang Xifeng's eyes showed a hint of wild hope. If the family were separated, even if the second master had an income from the property, he would not have the status of a nobleman, and he would not be an ordinary civil servant. Jia Baoyu's white body is not even as good as a scholar.

Beijing,

The camp outside Dongcheng Pass.

There were bursts of shouts and killings throughout the school grounds.

"kill!"

"kill!"

When Zhang Jinyu came to the school grounds, he also nodded frequently. The morale is good.

"Master Hou, you are here! The last general has already reassigned the soldiers, this time it is absolutely foolproof!"

General Ningbian saw Lord Hou coming, and quickly ran over to report the training situation of the various departments of the barracks.

Zhang Jinyu was very satisfied to see such a uniform training scene. This should be regarded as the pinnacle of Dawu's military strength.

Even if not, that discipline is definitely number one.

"Okay, brothers have worked hard, you, work harder, come and take it."

"This is?"

Zhang Jinyu directly handed over the 1 taels of bank note. It turned out that it was the bank note that Jia's family paid for and placed in Duan Hong's place yesterday, and was brought by Lord Hou.

"Take all this money to buy some meat. It's cold, so don't worry about buying some meat for extra meals for the brothers until the money runs out."

"It's Lord Hou,"

Ning Bian was not polite, and just pretended to be.

Tonight I will satisfy my hunger, so I quickly arranged for Huotou Xiaoxiao to go to the market to buy meat and cook it back.

Looking at the excited Ningbian, Zhang Jinyu is also funny,
"Hey, by the way, what about the pair of master and apprentice who are known as sharpshooters?"

"Don't worry, Lord Hou. After these two people came, I let them try archery. Not to mention that they were absolutely perfect, I ordered 1000 marksmen to go there according to their wishes, and let him treat them personally." Take the training. It's right there, Lord Hou, look."

Zhang Jinyu looked to the north of the school field. A team of thousands of people practiced scattering repeatedly. Although the result could not be seen for the time being, the spirit was worth having.

"Ningbian, you should concentrate on training your troops, don't be distracted by other things, and make sure to rest. I'm here to back you up. This time let those shrimp soldiers and crabs know what elites are."

"It's Lord Hou! I will live up to expectations!"

South of the capital,

Qin residence, backyard,
In the boudoir, Qin Keqing was drawing something on the desk. She was wearing a loose light red cotton coat, a skirt, and a silver hairpin to tie her black silk hair between the temples. It was so beautiful and elegant.

"Girl, the master is back, and I inquired about something important about Lord Hou."

Ruizhu ran over and said hastily.

Qin Keqing was also very curious. Hearing this, she raised her rosy white face, frowned slightly and asked,

"What happened again?"

In the past few days, I have also heard a lot of gossip, as well as my father's anxious face, and I feel depressed.

"Miss, I heard that Luo Yunhou and the Jia family of Ningguo Mansion fought because of the young lady in Chunlou, and Lord Hou even beat Jia Zhen, the patriarch of the Jia family."

"what,"

Qin Keqing paused, opened her small mouth, and couldn't help but lose her voice.

The beautiful woman in brocade clothes paled, her eyelashes were slightly curved, and there was a look of worry in her eyes, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

I thought a lot in an instant, what was the matter?Or something else.

While thinking wildly, Baozhu ran over and said,

"Miss, Miss Master is here."

Qin Keqing hurriedly got up to meet her, and Qin Ye came over with big strides, and said with a smile,

"Your Majesty, are you worried?"

"It's good that Daddy is fine, but Qing is fine."

Qin Ye felt very relieved when he saw his extremely well-behaved daughter, and it was fitting that my daughter should have such a fate.

"Come on, let's talk."

Qin Ye came in and sat down, with a happy face, squeezed his beard, and said happily,
"But Qing, the outside matters have been settled. I also met Lord Hou's mother and made a date with her. We will get married within ten days after the new year. It can be said that Dad's thoughts were not in vain."

Looking at his father's old face, there is still some faint sweat, and he has paid so much price and fatigue for his marriage.

Qin Keqing had no choice but to wipe it carefully with a handkerchief,
"Thank you, father. My daughter heard that Lord Hou beat the head of the Jia family in Ningguo Mansion in Chunlou. Doesn't this embarrass the other party?"

Hearing this, Qin Ye snorted coldly and said,
"That's his own fault. He clearly knew that you were engaged, but he came to the house and said so. He must have a plan. Don't take this matter to heart and settle it. By the way, he even paid you 10 taels of silver for your engagement." .”

After Qin Ye finished speaking, he took out a stack of banknotes and put them on the desk, Qin Keqing opened his small mouth slightly in surprise, with an expression of disbelief.

"In the future, Keqing, if you get married, you can live a good life with Lord Hou. Our small family can bear a little bit in the backyard and pass."

Qin Ye has been thinking about it for the past few days. Although this Lord Hou said that he married Keqing as his wife and became the mistress, he just valued Keqing. Besides, the mother of Lord Hou in the Hou Mansion treats people with courtesy and demeanor. Generous, with a big family demeanor, and also from a wealthy family, but Qing can still be relied on after passing.

He himself is old, and this official is also a top official. He has a son, Qin Zhong, who is indecisive, lazy and playful, and has no ambition to make progress.

Qin Keqing naturally knew what her father was thinking, and nodded in agreement.

"Just according to daddy's words, don't worry, daddy, the Qin family can't fall with me."

Qin Ye Laohuai's eyes were red with relief.

At this moment, Qin Zhong ran in from the outside, happily saying,

"Father, I finished my homework today, and the master even praised me."

Seeing the flustered appearance of the youngest son, Qin Ye also felt compassion in his heart. Although he was weak, he was still kind-hearted, and he could live a stable life if he could keep his family business.

"Okay, Zhong'er has grown up too, so I can't be so fussy in the future, I have to be good, listen?"

Qin Ye pretended to be stern and said, Qin Zhong promised in that obsequiously, the joy in his eyes could not be hidden,
"Understood, father, sister, you are going to marry Lord Hou, so we don't have to be afraid of others from now on."

Qin Keqing also fondled Qin Zhong's head and said,
"Yes, we will not be afraid of others in the future, and others will be afraid of us."

"How can it be done? The right way is to be kind to others."

Qin Ye was not willing to let such thoughts go, and interrupted directly. At this time, the nanny also said outside the door,

"My lord, madam, supper is ready and ready to eat."

"Okay, here we go."

Qin Ye naturally took his son and daughter to dinner, and drank an extra cup of wine during the period, making him a little drunk.

Suddenly remembered, why did I bring Keqing back to my home that night, or was it a letter left in front of the door at that time?

After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head. After more than ten years, no one came to look for her. Now that the girl has been promised to others, there are so many things.

Only then did he throw away this idea and fell asleep.
