Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 614 Say goodbye and head back to Beijing
In front of the mountain gate of Jing'an Temple,

Zhang Jinyu walked at the back, looked at Master Wu Xin and asked a question.

Master Wu Xin said the name of the Buddha,
"Amitabha, all living beings are equal, and everything in the world has its own cause and effect. Hanshan Temple is as its name suggests. The bells of Hanshan Temple ring on rainy nights. As for Jing'an Temple in the capital, don't you feel it?"

The people around listened to the riddle and felt something,
Zhang Jinyu was also a little suspicious. She felt something. Hanshan Temple was in the south of the Yangtze River. The rainy nights were a little more rainy, but it also responded to the situation. How could Jing'an Temple respond to the situation? She seemed to be asking, and suddenly saw the surrounding fog dissipating, and the entire temple was deserted. There was silence. Looking at the old monk's half-smiling look, Zhang Jinyu smiled. It was quite pure. There wasn't even a bird monk. How could he not be clean? The old monk was interesting.

"The abbot is indeed proficient in Buddhism. I admire him. Haha, old monk, see you later."

Without further talking to the abbot, he turned around and led the soldiers down the mountain. He didn't even ask the eldest princess who was staying at the summer palace. It was just that the water was coming to cover it up, and the soldiers were coming to block it. Besides, he might be targeting whom.

The two masters and apprentices stood at the mountain gate.
Looking at the retreating figures of the people on the mountain road, the disciple Fa Jing beside him seemed to have some enlightenment and asked,

"Master, why do people from the imperial court come and leave in such a hurry? I think this is all in vain."

"Haha, idiot, they should have gained something when they came. People in the court, especially officials, value their rights the most. How can they put down their rights and search for the cause and effect of all living beings? I came here to offer incense today, just for the sake of the world. You see, only they themselves know the real reason. I don’t want to guess. You have to understand that sometimes doing nothing is the way to save your life. "

Although Master Wu Xin didn’t see everyone’s movements, and he didn’t know what was going on in Jing’an Temple or how they acted in the past, but today, only his master and apprentice were with him in the entire temple. Even if there were some secrets, Jing’an Temple had cleared them up. suspicion,
But the Zen master also knew that in Maple Leaf Valley at the foot of the mountain, Princess Dawu lived. Maple Leaf Valley, which had not moved for more than ten years, was not peaceful even thinking about it.

maple valley,
The top of the maple forest,

Wei Shuyun replied categorically that General Yue was always impeccable in his work. How could those Taipingjiao thieves survive when they were shot at close range?

Holding a fist,

Zhou Xiangxue nodded secretly, they were all her confidants, and they did not do things once or twice. There should be no problem in thinking. Even if Marquis Luo Yun guessed that it was him, there was no evidence, and there was no interest entanglement, so there was no need to worry. I don’t know if the Queen Mother has received the secret message in the old place of the main hall of the temple.

"Shuyun, go to the Main Hall, the old place, again and see if the Queen Mother has left any words."

Clicking hard with her left foot, she turned over and jumped down the slope, sliding into the Maple Leaf Valley behind her. Liu Yue looked envious, Sister Wei was still so powerful.

I have to go back after all, and the master was right.

"Yu Lan, Ningguo Mansion is really hopeless. Can the old lady of Rongguo Mansion not help?"

Yu Lan carefully leaned forward and replied,

"Master, Marquis Luo Yun convened everyone for an urgent trial yesterday. Although he didn't say a few words in Shuntian Mansion, the Marquis never defended Jia Zhen. Naturally, the Marquis of Xiangyang was at his wits' end. The civil servants could see that, The crime must be punished. In this way, the Marquis of Xiangyang was weak and at a disadvantage. The interrogation file fell into the hands of Lord Chang, the Minister of Punishment.

Wuwei Shuyun is dressed in a smart outfit, has a well-proportioned figure, and graceful appearance. She is indeed a handsome beauty, but compared with the eldest princess, Izuku Hibiscus, she looks much duller.
Zhou Xiangxue looked at the soldiers and horses gathering at the bottom of the mountain. They were cold and gloomy. They were indeed Luo Yunhou's "Ghost Faced Cavalry". The previous ambush and the scene of Luo Yunhou's subordinates fighting back against the rain of arrows were still in front of him.

"Yes, Queen Mother, I will go right away."

"Your Majesty, there are no survivors."

That's true,

"That's not necessarily the case. Marquis Luo Yun is extremely shrewd, and ordinary things cannot be hidden from him. Although such an arrangement can be hidden from the court, it may not be able to hide it from him. Will the people left behind survive?"

Liu Yue and Yu Lan were still accompanying them, and Wei Shuyun was reporting on one side.
"Your Highness, General Yue's troops have retreated and are scattered among the farms. They will certainly not be discovered. The Taiping Sect's traitor slaves have also been left behind by Marquis Luo Yun. There will be no doubt about this."

Is the father's body really in good health, or is he just recovering from illness, causing the civil servants to become rampant?

The eldest princess Zhou Xiangxue looked at the court's motorcade, starting back one after another, with a slight smile on her lips.
behind,

From the slave's point of view, if the Supreme Emperor does not ask, Jia Zhen of the Ningguo Mansion will not be able to escape. "

When the imperial brother was on the throne, although his reputation was not prominent, he was very tolerant. When he wanted to take action, he would definitely wait for the opportunity and think carefully. Even if you can't work together, how can others save you?
As for Marquis Luo Yun, I don't know if he is really stupid or just pretending. A woman can be so protected by him. How can the love between children go far? It is said that this man is as lustful as life, but it is true.

Zhou Xiangxue turned around, looked at Yu Lan and asked, still a little unconvinced in her heart. How arrogant the four bastards are. This matter is not a big deal or a small matter. If the nobles in the capital are united, His Majesty will not really arrest him. Whether they want to stay or not, or they deliberately used Ningguo Mansion as a test to see His Majesty’s attitude,

"In that case, let's leave the Ningguo Mansion matter alone. The princes of the other Duke Mansions are all serving in the border army, so we can't contact them now, so as not to attract the attention of the Imperial City Department. However, those officials in the capital, the young masters and young ladies in the mansions, should pay more attention. The power of civil officials should not be underestimated."

"Yes, master."

Yu Lan nodded in agreement. She was already taking this step.

After watching it for a while,
As if she lost interest, the eldest princess turned around and walked down the slope, leading people back to the palace.

And at the foot of Beishan.

As the ladies of the capital boarded the carriage one by one, Duan Hong led his troops to clear the way, while Zhang Jinyu led the troops and horses to the rear just as they had come.

I looked back at Beishan. I couldn't see whether the old monk was still there on the top of the mountain. It was so fateful. "Master Marquis, do you want to leave some men behind and sneak into the back mountain to look for those traitors?"

Ningbian was a little reluctant. He saw that the man and the horse were not far away, and he caught the horse's belly and rushed up to ask. Although the man's hand was not hurt, the horse was injured a lot, which made him feel distressed.

Zhang Jinyu knew what Ningbian was thinking. According to the unlucky guy who died, there were other people who attacked, and they were officers and soldiers. It looked like they were framed, but there were so many mountains in the north of the capital, and there were nobles and noble families in the capital. The Zhuangzi of the wealthy family, even the Imperial Manor under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the royal hunting forest and gardens are all there. If you want to check, you can't easily touch it.

Another meaning is that the arrow is completely useless against soldiers wearing heavy armor, unless they are not wearing armor. In this way, it is difficult to guess whether it will target the reinforcements from the two counties of Hedong and Hexi.

Zhang Jinyu looked at the lush woods around her and wondered about it secretly. She didn't have a clue, but she still suspected that the eldest princess Zhou Xiangxue's intuition was still there. It was just a matter of mentioning it when they met in the future, so it was just a blind typing.

"There's no need to look for it. It's a waste of effort. If you really catch someone you shouldn't catch, it will be troublesome."

"Well, Lord Marquis, the injury you received from this arrow was not in vain."

Ning Bian had no intention of complaining, which made Zhang Jinyu feel bad instantly. It did seem that he was injured in vain. This was not good. He had to get some benefits. After thinking about it, only His Majesty could get an advantage. But how could he get an advantage? , still need to think about it.

On the official road,
The motorcade slowly returned to Beijing,

The two gorgeous carriages in the middle gradually moved closer together.
Princess Dong usually didn't talk much, but she was a little happy today. She opened the curtain, took a look at Princess Bei's bicycle frame, and shouted,
"Sister, why are you walking so fast?"

Princess Bei frowned in the car. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bian opened the curtain and looked outside.
"What's the matter with sister? She's going back to the capital soon. It's useless to think too much."

"Oh, what my sister said is that overthinking is useless, but don't you think it's strange that I woke up so early in the morning and didn't even have a good breakfast? I came here all morning just to burn a stick of incense."

Ever since Princess Dong went up the mountain, her eyes had never left the Queen Mother and the Empress. She always felt that the purpose of coming here was not simple. Unfortunately, there was no one around the temple and she didn't notice them.

Not long ago, after the Queen Mother finished offering incense in the Main Hall, she went to the back hall, and Princess Dong naturally followed her. Unfortunately, as far as the eye could see, there were simple accessories and there was almost nothing in the back hall.
But the Queen Mother, after returning from the apse, actually ordered her to return to the capital directly. She must have discovered something, and there must have been some oversight.

Listening to Princess Dong's words, Princess Zhen looked towards the opposite side. The two looked at each other, and they could vaguely see the meaning in each other's eyes.
"Sister, this is so embarrassing. You don't even know it, and my sister didn't see it either."

Princess Zhen obviously knew the meaning of Bian's question and wanted to know it herself, but she stood outside and did not enter the back hall like her. Instead, she stared at the place where she knelt down in the main hall, thinking that there might be something fishy about the incense place. But after staring for so long, he didn't find anything. It seemed that Bian didn't find anything. This was strange. Wasn't the queen mother just for the eldest princess?

Princess Dong did not answer, she stared at Mrs. Zhen for a long time, and smiled slightly as if she was lying.
"Hey, this trip is about offering incense sincerely. It's also a good thing to make a wish and pray for blessings."

"What my sister said is absolutely true. My sister came here today and feels much more relaxed. I want to relax."

After speaking,
The two looked at each other again, nodded in agreement, lowered the car curtains, and made no sound.

Not far behind the two of them was the car frame of Rongguo Mansion. The old lady Jia Mu was sitting in the car, looking at the silent girl Feng, and asked,
"What's wrong? I'm worried about Jia Lian."

"I have been thinking about going back to the old lady. I don't know when he will come back."

Wang Xifeng felt a little sad and asked Lai Wang to go there several times, but Jia Lian didn't come back. Could it be that he raised a baby outside.

Mother Jia stretched out her hand and touched Wang Xifeng's hand. She thought of the letter Jia Lian sent at night a few days ago. It was not that he would not come back, but that he could not come back at this time. She also read the letter from Wang's uncle Wang Ziteng. What he said is true,

"Just be patient if you think about it. Jia Lian won't be back for a while. His name is on him when he went south with his uncle. I don't know how long it will take to come back. You have to know it in your mind."

"What, how could this happen? You are so anxious and don't give Jia Lian Xiu Mu a chance to go home."

Wang Xifeng exclaimed, although she had a premonition in her heart, but when she heard the news, she was too panicked. The sword has no eyes. Marquis Luo Yun is so brave, isn't it because he was injured? Although Jia Lian said he had some ability, he was just paying lip service. The words are nice and clear, but if you really want to be serious, you can just talk with swords and swords. If you really go to the battlefield, your true colors will probably be revealed.

"Why are you panicking? It has been expected for a long time. It is for his own good that Jia Lian will not come back. He will go south with his uncle's family. There is no way he will lose with more than 100,000 imperial troops. He will follow behind. Not to mention how much contribution he has made. It shouldn't be difficult to get a little bit of merit. If you are smarter and earn more merit, the position of the general will be certain, and then our Jia family will have some support. "

Jia's mother's face was a little obscure. She didn't expect that one of Jia Lian's idle flags could have such a harvest. Wang Ziteng also gave an explanation. Otherwise, what the second son's family has done in these years is just a dog feed. You have to wag your tail. If you don't give an explanation to the Jia family, you will be nothing more than a white-eyed wolf.

Seeing that the old lady said it was so easy, although Wang Xifeng felt the same way, she was always a little uneasy. She suddenly thought of her sister-in-law. Although she was a widow, she still had a son by her side. This was a guarantee, and her stomach had not moved. I don’t have anyone to rely on, so I can’t compare to my sister-in-law.
"What the old lady said makes sense, but the grandson's daughter-in-law is always uneasy in her heart. These days, everything in Rongguo Mansion is as usual, and there is nothing we can do about Ningguo Mansion. The people from the Imperial City Department have seized the ancestral property and the mansion, and Brother Zhen and Brother Rong have also After being sentenced to prison, the eldest master did not ask any questions, and the second master did not say anything to explain. This caused too much gossip in the Jia family, and the clan members watched and laughed, and the grandson's daughter-in-law felt uncomfortable. "

After Wang Xifeng finished speaking, she cried about missing Jia Lian and the grievances suffered by her family. Yuanyang beside her hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped the eyes of the second mistress. There was no way to comfort her, so she had to accompany her.

Jia's mother sat in the car and closed her eyes with an ugly face. She was helpless to her two sons. They really couldn't do anything about this kind of thing. With Jia She like this, if nothing happens, it would be considered a blessing by the Buddha. Jia Zheng would have nothing to do with him. The Staff Department is subordinate to the civil servants. How can we quarrel with the civil servants? We must not interfere.
Jia Lian couldn't get away, and Jia Zhen and his son were sent to prison again. They went around in a circle, and there was no man who could establish a family. It was still an old woman like herself who was struggling to hold on. As for why she didn't think of Jia Lian. Baoyu, Jia's mother always believed that Jia Baoyu was born to be rich and noble, and she was born to enjoy happiness. Unless she had to, Jia Baoyu would not face these trivial things.

nowadays,
I could only wait and see what Mr. Jing could do outside the city, and I contacted my relatives. However, what I heard from the Marquis of Xiangyang and the Duke of Zhen was obviously not optimistic. The title seemed to be saved, but it was hard to say for Jia Zhen and his son. If the two of them Guilty, who can inherit the title of Dongfu, actually has this idea in his heart, maybe Baoyu is also possible.

"Okay, Girl Feng, this family still needs us and my mother to support it. Looking forward to everything, it is the Jia family that has encountered a disaster. Just get over this hurdle and it will be fine. Dongfu has its own relatives to help, so you don't need to pay attention to it. , but Rongguo Mansion, you have to take good care of it and don’t gossip. "

"Yes, old lady!"
