Red Mansion Beijingwang

Qingxu looks at the door.

The commander of the palace guard had come here early with a group of men and horses. His soldiers stood in rows and drove away a bunch of people. Although there was a tendency to bully others, this is normal. Besides, the car was full of women, and others could not be allowed to rush into it. .

In addition, Taoist Zhang from Qingxu Temple, holding a wat and wearing robes, led other Taoist priests to pay respects by the roadside.

Not long after, the carriage of the Beijing Prince's Mansion approached in front of the temple, and Taoist Zhang hurriedly greeted him. He only heard the sound of bells and drums, which was thick and long, startling the birds in the mountains and scattering in all directions.

When the carriage reached the mountain gate, Shui Rong helped Concubine Beijing off the carriage. Taoist Zhang came forward with a smile, bowed respectfully and said, "I've seen noble people on the trail."

Shui Rong glanced at Taoist Zhang, who had a gray beard and a fly whisk in his hand. He looked like an immortal. He nodded and said warmly, "I'll be working with Master Zhang later."

He knew this Master Zhang of Qingxu Guan. He had been serving as a substitute for Lord Jia Daishan of the Rong Kingdom since he was a child, in order to eliminate disasters.

Not only that, this Taoist priest was once personally called the "Great Fantasy Immortal" by the late emperor. Now he holds the seal of "Daolu Division" and is now titled "The Final Master". The princes and ministers all call him "the Immortal". ", is a Taoist priest with status.

In the original work, when the Jia family came to visit Qingxu, Taoist Zhang was also humble and low-key, and even took the initiative to please Jia Mu and others. In addition, judging from his humble behavior now, he is indeed a smooth and well-behaved person.

Zhang Taoist smiled and looked at the young man in front of him. He knew that the other man was the prince of Beijing County and the son-in-law of Rongguo Duke.

At this moment, Taoist Zhang did not rely on being a monk to show off his high profile. He said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your words are serious. This is the responsibility of the Taoist. Everything in the temple has been taken care of. Please move on, Your Majesty."

Shui Rong smiled and nodded when he heard the words. He came to Qingxu Temple to give them incense and seek peace of mind. I don't expect you to be flattery. At least you should have a correct attitude. If you put on a noble face, it will be uncomfortable to look at. .

It's strange that Taoist Zhang can get away with it, but he knows how to deal with the worldly affairs.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong's thoughts were a little erratic. They were both monks, but the one from Cong Cui'an was aloof and arrogant. He always had a cold and jade face that no strangers should enter. Comparing the two, if it does not go against his true feelings, Taoist Zhang was deeply moved. Knowing the way of survival is more in line with the world.

Of course, in Shui Rong's heart, he prefers Master Miaoyu, who is aloof and self-admiring, with a sense of holiness and majesty, ice-cold muscles and jade bones, which is refreshing.

At this time, Jia's mother came closer with the support of Yuanchun, and Taoist Zhang, who was also a human spirit, immediately greeted her with a smile: "Old ancestor."

Jia's mother smiled and nodded. Logically speaking, this Taoist priest was not considered an outsider in the Jia family, so it was not surprising to call him "ancestor".

During the exchange of greetings, the people on the carriage got off the carriage one by one. Seeing this, Yuanchun, as the person in charge, said in a gentle tone: "We are tired from traveling, so we should go to the temple and have a sip of tea first."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, not to mention drinking tea. A large group of female relatives, who were not suitable to stay in the mountain gate for a long time, climbed up the steps under the guidance of Taoist Zhang and walked towards the temple.

Shui Rong lowered his head and ordered to the young general in armor beside him: "Ziying, if the ladies want to go on an outing, there is no need to be restrained. Send some careful people to carefully guard them, and don't disturb the ladies' interest. "

Putting aside others, Baochai, Daiyu and other golden hairpins, their main purpose is not to get married, but to have fun and relax, so they will not be restrained.

Feng Ziying understood clearly after hearing this. As the guard commander of the palace, she was relatively close to Shui Rong, so she knew that Shui Rong cared deeply for these ladies. If the guards were not careful, it would be a disaster, so she responded sternly.

At this time, the lively Xiangyun came closer with cheerful steps, raised his face that was slightly baby-fat, looked at the young man with his clear and bright eyes, blinked like stars twinkling, and asked with a smile. : "Brother-in-law is waiting for us?"

I think I will take them to play.

Shui Rong looked at Xiangyun's innocent appearance and felt at ease. He glanced at the group of orioles and swallows following behind them. They were all surrounded by jade. Their pure white hands were holding round fans of different colors to cover their pink faces. The look on his face is full of relaxation and joy.

As for the different style that blended in, it seemed to be assimilated into it, needless to say.

With a chuckle, Shui Rong stretched out his hand and pinched Xiangyun's soft cheeks, which immediately made the girl jealous. She glared at the boy fiercely and said in embarrassment, "Oh, brother-in-law pinched me again."

She is the youngest daughter who has not yet left the court, so why would she pinch her face whenever she disagrees with her? If it were not her brother, she would definitely not be lenient. You must know that even her beloved (second) brother would not be able to do so.

Shui Rong didn't care about this. It was just an act of intimacy between "brother and sister". What others could say.

After a pause, Shui Rong reached out to touch the young man's head again, and said in a gentle tone: "Girl Yun is really a clever girl. She has guessed all this. I have ordered the guards. If you want to play, just tell the guards and don't do it privately. Sneak out."

Xiangyun frowned when he heard this, ignoring the strange feeling deep in his heart. His baby-fat cheeks swelled up, and there was a hint of questioning in his tone, "Brother-in-law, you won't accompany us?"

Asking the guards to follow them doesn't mean that Shui Rong won't accompany them. Is he still their good brother? Good brother-in-law?

Hum, the baby is not happy anymore.

Shui Rong didn't take it seriously when he saw this. He had a child's temperament and just wanted to be coaxed, so he whispered softly: "If I follow you, I'm afraid you will be restrained. I just let you play by yourself and you can have fun."

Of course, this is just one of them. The most important thing is to accompany a group of young daughters to play at home. If you think about it carefully, it feels quite scary, so it is better to give up the idea as soon as possible.

He was here to play, not to take care of the children. If he only looked after a few of them, what would the others do?

Rain and dew are equally affected, don’t you understand such a simple truth?

"Humph"

As soon as he finished speaking, a delicate humming sound came out, which was like gold beads falling on a jade plate, containing a clear dissatisfaction without concealing it at all.

Shui Rong raised his eyes and looked up, only to see that elegant figure standing alone in the world, holding a full moon fan decorated with embroidered flowers and birds in his bare hands, two smoky eyebrows raised like a frown but not a frown, and his bright and bright eyes were somewhat clear.

It sounds grand, and you treat me like a child.

Seeing this situation, Shui Rong didn't know that Sister Lin was acting miserably again.

There is a saying that they are both god-sisters. Although Xiangyun has a lively and active temperament and seems to be noisy, she is also sensible, while Daiyu...

In the early days, he seemed well-behaved, but as the "brother and sister" became closer, he became more and more fond of acting in front of him, which sometimes made people both love and hate him.

Shui Rong's eyes fell on the girl's delicate jade face, and he said softly: "Qian'er, the scenery in the mountains is beautiful. When the time comes, you can go around with Yun Yatou and the others, but don't stay in the house all the time."

The love and care of a brother can be described as sincere.

Daiyu heard the words, gently shook the fan in her hand, looked at the young man with bright eyes like stars, and said softly: "It's hard for me to worry about my brother, we are just people of grass and trees, brother, don't worry, just go about your business." Get down to business."

Water soluble: "."

They have all come to Qingxu Temple, what kind of business can they do, and all of them are ladies, and they are just ordinary people. They are not happy because they are not accompanying them to play, and they are so weird that it touches people's hearts.

Lin Daoyun is online again.

Baoyu looked at Daiyu blankly, with some doubts in his eyebrows. In the past, Sister Lin only used her temper towards him, so how could she now use it towards her brother-in-law?

For a moment, Baoyu's heart seemed to be pinched, as if something had been taken away. He felt uncomfortable and said hurriedly: "Sister Lin, brother-in-law is not free. Let's play for ourselves, so don't disturb brother-in-law."

When Daiyu heard this, her willow eyes, which were like drizzle on the spring mountain, gave Baoyu an annoyed look, and the willow leaves' slender eyebrows rose slightly.

What a stupid thing. He was just going out for fun. Why disturb him? What my brother said was obviously perfunctory.

I think my brother is starting to dislike them.

Shui Rong saw Daiyu's smart bright eyes falling on him, her delicate eyebrows filled with sadness, and said helplessly: "Good sister, I have to spend my free time with you, is this okay?"

Hey, this god-sister, I shouldn't be afraid that I will have to think about it too much. I had known this, and I didn't recognize it at the beginning... That's it, that's it. She is a girl who deserves to be pitied, so be lenient.

When Daiyu heard this, her heart felt happy. The corners of her pink lips covered by the fan were slightly raised, her beautiful eyes blinked, and she said in a clear voice with a bit of playfulness: "That's all, my brother is always so free and easy. It’s my sister, Xiaojiazi, who is angry.”

Water soluble: "..."

Here she comes again, chatting over tea, she really wants to be taught with a stick so that she can understand the big and small.

Baochai smiled, glanced at Shui Rong, who was speechless, her almond-shaped eyes flashed, she came closer and held Daiyu's arm, and said softly: "Zi'er, let's not delay, let's go in first."

Daiyu's willow eyes looked at Baochai, with a smile on her lips. This sister-in-law was a good person again.

Even so, Daiyu did not refuse. She twisted her waist and walked side by side with Baochai toward the temple. Just as they crossed the water, she turned her head away, her red lips parted lightly, and she hummed softly. A sound. People who are favored are always confident.

The corners of Shui Rong's mouth twitched slightly. This little girl would sneer at the slightest displeasure and show no affection to his godbrother. She was really spoiled and in need of training.

On the other hand, Baochai was a considerate person and knew that she felt sorry for her brother-in-law.

At this time, Yingchun came close and saw Shuirong standing there, holding the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, and timidly reminded: "Brother-in-law, it's time to go up."

Shui Rong calmed down after hearing the words, and glanced at the gentle and silent girl in front of him. Seeing that her beautiful face looked a little embarrassed, he smiled and said: "Second sister, let's go."

Yingchun looked up at the young man with a fresh-cheeked face, and saw the young man's extremely handsome smile, plump and graceful, cheerful and clear movements, and an imperceptible blush on his jade cheeks. He hurriedly lowered his eyes, and his long eyes His eyelashes trembled, and he followed closely step by step.

Upon seeing this, Shui Rong didn't say much. He and Yingchun climbed up the steps and walked into the temple. During the stroll, Shui Rong suddenly said: "Second sister, are you still used to staying in the palace?"

Yingchun's eyes flashed brightly when she heard this. Compared with the Duke's Mansion, the Prince's Mansion was much more comfortable and there were not so many unpleasant things. And when they stayed in the Prince's Mansion, they were not restrained and there was nothing uncomfortable about it.

If she had a choice, she would rather stay in the palace for the rest of her life, but... she was a sister-in-law after all, an outsider, so she couldn't stay in the palace for a long time.

Facing the young man's question, Yingchun just said "hmm" without saying anything else.

Shui Rong knew that Yingchun had a dull temperament and was not good at talking, so he was not unhappy at all. He walked into the temple and chatted with each other.

Daiyu and the others in front looked around, sometimes making comments, sometimes covering their mouths and smiling coquettishly, chatting and laughing endlessly.

But Daiyu's eyes caught a glimpse of her good brother who was chatting quietly behind her. Her handsome face was full of warmth, and something strange came to her heart for no reason.

Look, this good brother forgot about "sister" when he saw "sister".

As soon as I got up the steps, I heard shouts of "Take it, take it, take it! Beat it, beat it, beat it!" It was quite a commotion.

Seeing this situation, Shui Rong frowned. Fortunately, something happened. They were all women, so don't cause any trouble.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong nodded to Yingchun and walked forward quickly. He saw Sister Feng supporting Jia Mu and explaining with a smile: "A little Taoist priest is cutting candle flowers and has not escaped. At this moment They are drilling everywhere."

Hearing this, Shui Rong immediately understood that this scene was not exactly what happened in the original work.

Sure enough, I saw a young Taoist boy sneaking over and asking him to kneel in front of everyone.

Jia Mu was a person who cared for the poor and cared about the weak. She looked at the aggrieved Taoist boy with a hint of sadness in her tone and said, "You're a poor kid. Don't frighten him."

After saying this, Mother Jia stopped talking. After all, the one with the highest status at the moment was Princess Beijing. If she talked too much, she would be overshadowing her.

Upon seeing this, Princess Beijing nodded lightly in agreement. Although the little Taoist boy bumped into someone, he was a child after all, so there was no need to go into details. She ordered: "Let him go down, don't let others embarrass him."

After Concubine Beijing spoke, no one said much, and the servant left with the Taoist boy. As for Sister Feng's slap, no one mentioned it again.

Shui Rong's eyes fell on the red and swollen side of the little Taoist boy's face, and he frowned. It was true that the little Taoist boy was at fault for bumping into Sister Feng, so a small punishment or a big warning would be enough. There was no need to deal with such harsh measures. He was still a child.

Sister Feng is smart and capable, and coupled with her appearance like a fairy concubine and her fierce personality, she is really a top-notch beauty.

It's just that people are not perfect. Sister Feng is used to playing tricks of power and is cunning and cunning. Her cruel temper makes people dislike her. She is obviously a pot of fire but secretly a knife. She has the style of a femme fatale.

When the boy pulled the Taoist boy past Shui Rong, Shui Rong ordered, "Give him some money to buy some fruit."

Regarding Sister Feng's son slapping the Taoist boy, Shui Rong did not comment.

How can I put it, feudal society has clear hierarchies, and those who clash with the nobles are those who clash with the nobles. This is why Princess Beijing, Jia Mu and others were cruel to Sister Feng but did not blame her at all.

Fortunately, this is a little Taoist boy. Anyone who is older and offends the female family members may be beaten to death.

Blind pity may lead to death. This incident can be regarded as a reminder to this little Taoist boy not to be reckless in the future. He is still a child and cannot be used as a talisman.

After this small episode, everyone walked up the steps and saw the gatekeeper and the clay statues of the clairvoyant, shunfenger, local land and local city god along the way. They walked to the Taoist palace with red eaves and green roofs, facing After bowing to the clay statue in the middle, he soon went to the inner room and took a seat. Tea, snacks, melon seeds and fruits were all set out.

Just as he was enjoying himself, the mother-in-law outside said: "Zhang Shenxian is here to say hello."

Shui Rong felt quite amused when he heard this. It was interesting for the gods to pay their respects to them.

After a while, Taoist Zhang came in with a smile on his face. He bowed to Concubine Beijing who was sitting on the throne and said, "May you be blessed with the Buddha Immeasurable Life and may you be blessed with peace and prosperity."

Concubine Beijing smiled and nodded.

Then, Taoist Zhang turned to Jia Mu and said, "Old lady, live a long and healthy life."

Jia Mu also nodded.

Immediately he looked around again and said, "Grandmas and ladies, thank you."

Everyone greeted him with blessings and gifts.

After playing around, Taoist Zhang's eyes fell on Shui Rong and he said with a smile: "It is really a blessing for the Taoist temple that all the noble people come to the small Taoist temple. Seeing that the noble people are so noble and noble, they look shabby." Looking at the dimness, it can be seen that it is the reincarnation of the gods in the sky, which is extraordinary."

Shui Rong smiled and said nothing when he heard this. This flattery made a loud noise, and even the golden hairpins couldn't help but chuckle. Daiyu, who was always magnanimous, even rolled her eyes without hesitation. Thanks to what the Taoist priest said, he is worthy of being the person who has earned this inheritance.

Concubine Beijing actually had a smile on her face. The words she praised her good son sounded more pleasant to her ears than wishing her good luck and good health. She said with a full smile: "Old god, I don't care about extraordinary things. I just hope that this monkey will succeed." Let’s add some children to the palace.”

Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang, and Yuan Chun were silent when they heard this. How could a man like Shui Rong have a baby? This was not just to tease Yuanchun, but in front of them. It was obvious that they were extremely dissatisfied, but it was just hindering Shui Rong's preference. Just save some face.

Taoist Zhang was not in a hurry, he still had a smile on his face, and said in a clear voice: "A noble man is reincarnated as a god, and his descendants are blessed by nature, so they need opportunities, and I won't be in a hurry for a while."

Upon hearing the words about the heir, Princess Beijing became serious and said in a clear voice: "I hope the old god can give me some advice."

Not only Princess Beijing, but Yuan Chun also raised his earlobes and listened. Even Zhen Hua and Zhang Pan'er, the two nephews and wives, one pointed out that they had given birth to their eldest son and pressed Yuan Chun's head, and the other pointed out that they were pregnant with an heir, so they were thinking. All gathered together.

Taoist Zhang stroked his white beard and said with a pleasant expression: "It is fate that the noble man comes to visit us. The Taoist Association will pray every day, asking for the grace of the infinite heavenly master. When the opportunity comes, it will make the noble man's heart happy."

Opportunities are elusive things. If they exist, they are opportunities. If they don't exist, it means the time has not come yet.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Beijing's apricot eyes flashed brightly, and there was a hint of excitement in her soft voice. She said in a clear voice: "Then I'll trouble the old god. I will not be stingy with the incense that the temple needs."

Taoist Zhang knew very well that such noble people were generous and could enjoy the blessings of the Qingxu Temple with just a few fingertips. Therefore, he did not struggle with the matter of incense. Instead, he turned to Shui Rong and bowed his head and said: "I would also like to ask you to put something close to your body in the temple." , the path is good for worshiping day and night."

Princess Beijing's clear and bright eyes briefly looked at Shui Rong's body. Before Shui Rong could speak, Dangzhi reached out and pulled off the warm jade worn on Shui Rong's waist, and said in a clear voice: "This is the warm jade my son is wearing next to his body, old fairy Do you think it’s acceptable?”

Shui Rong felt helpless when he saw this. It's not like you were so worried about giving birth to a son. If you were really sincere, why not just do it? You just have a loving heart.

Taoist Zhang was not in a hurry. He took out a piece of brocade cloth from somewhere and said with a smile: "If your hands are not clean, I'm afraid it will stain the noble man's warm jade."

After respectfully holding Nuanyu in his hands, Taoist Zhang bowed his head and then withdrew.

Shui Rong watched this scene quietly, and took another high look at Taoist Zhang in his heart. He was already a member of the Jia family, and his heart was naturally towards the Jia family. With these words, he helped Yuanchun find his heir. With a suitable excuse, she made Princess Beijing happy. She could get a large sum of money for incense, which was really killing two birds with one stone.

Tsk tsk tsk. This Taoist priest is a good hand! (End of chapter)
