Red Mansion Beijingwang

The next day, the wind was calm and the sun was bright, the sky was clear and blue, cloudless, as clear as jasper. The mountains were lush with trees, bamboos were shaded, the mountain walls were steep, and the river was surging.

In an open space, a bonfire has been set up, with an iron stove placed on it. Fresh venison is roasting in the hot flames, and the alluring fragrance gradually fills the forest.

Wearing a purple robe embroidered with green patterns, Shui Rong sat on the ground, holding an iron fork in one hand to tumble the venison, and the other hand sprinkled some seasonings on the venison from time to time. His movements were natural and unrestrained.

Young talents serving in the palace, headed by General Shenwu Feng Ziying, Duke Zhenguo Niu Cheng, Duke Li Guofu, etc., were all sitting around in armor. They knew that the prince had summoned them from the martial arts family. They didn't just have a barbecue together, they probably had some orders. However, the prince was concentrating on the barbecue, so they had no choice but to wait for his orders.

Shui Rong added a handful of dry firewood, and then said in a nonchalant tone: "You all know about the suppression of bandits, right?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. It was time to start talking about business. They were all children of the Wuxun family, and their fathers basically served in the governor's mansion. Although no official document was issued on the matter of suppressing bandits, they all heard me mention it. If you've ever done so, you wouldn't know the reason.

There is no way, this is the advantage of children from aristocratic families, they often know their intentions better than ordinary people.

Niu Cheng smiled innocently and said with a charmingly naive face: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my subordinates will do their best to suppress the bandits and live up to Your Majesty's kindness."

Looking at the eagerness in the brows of these people, Shui Rong knew clearly in his heart that they were all young and energetic good men. Whoever wanted to stay in the palace as a guard and lead the troops in battle was a high-spirited young man.

Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about Shui Rong himself. Why does he, a dignified prince, take the initiative to take charge of the suppression of bandits in the North Zhili area? It's not because he has to have the habit of leading troops.

Shui Rong held a dagger and cut several cuts in the deer meat, and said leisurely: "This time to suppress the bandits, one is to gain experience, and the other is to inspect the armament, military discipline, and corruption of the troops stationed in various garrison stations. You must be aware of this matter. "

The suppression of bandits is true, but the most important thing is to take advantage of this opportunity to let them go to the local area to check their weapons and equipment. Although Shui Rong made some rectifications when he took office, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. These soldiers stationed in the area are beyond the reach of the whip and the information is not well-informed. Who knows? Have they deceived superiors and deceived subordinates, failed in military discipline, or engaged in corruption? Once similar situations occur, it is better to rectify them in advance, so as not to be kept in the dark without knowing it.

He didn't want his soldiers to be all incompetent. They were lucky enough to have good hands, but when they fought, they were just a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers, which was embarrassing.

Several people were surprised when they heard this. They knew about the suppression of bandits, but they did not know about the investigation of weapons and equipment. This was about to start rectification again. This suppression of bandits was not an easy task.

But since the order was given, they naturally agreed.

Shui Rong saw the solemn expressions of several people, and understood in his heart. He chuckled and said loudly: "You don't have to worry too much. I just let you make secret visits. There is no need to fight openly, let alone deal with them. After the bandits come back, they will compile a detailed report." Just hand it over to the Governor's Mansion."

It's just an unannounced visit, which is equivalent to the nature of an inspection team. If something is corrected, if not, it is avoided. It is not considered a rectification. At the same time, it also puts a shackles on the soldiers in the guard below, so as not to think that they are the emperor.

The children of the aristocratic family are carefully cultivated. They are not those people who fly like eagles and tease dogs. They can hear the words of Shui Rong and know it in their hearts. They are just making secret visits. There is really no need to worry too much and they can just do their job well.

Shui Rong saw that everyone had no objections, and felt happy in his heart. As a leader, it was taboo to have no one under his command. After all, Feng Qing and Niu Sui were from the older generation, so they had a lot of little Jiujiu in their hearts, and they were older. , will retire in a few years, while young talents such as Feng Ziying and Niu Cheng are relatively young, and they are all confidants promoted by Shui Rong.

To put it simply, even if people like Feng Ziying have doubts about his orders, they will never comment on it. This is the benefit of confidants. People under his command will not promote who they promote. In his vision, the people headed by Feng Ziying This group of people will be his future team.

After pondering, Shui Rong said calmly: "You are all young talents. The Governor's Mansion will still need you to show your ambitions in the future. I will not interfere with the suppression of bandits this time. It is all up to you to handle. Whether it is good or bad is up to you. One’s own abilities.”

Everyone's expressions lit up when they heard this, and there was an inexplicable look in their eyes. Not to mention that this was an opportunity for them to show off their abilities. The meaning of Shui Rong's words made it clear that they would also be the pillars of the Governor's Mansion in the future. This was the promise of a bright future. .

Niu Cheng patted his strong chest with his big hand and said proudly: "Your Majesty, just look at it. This subordinate will definitely handle the errands properly."

When Niu Cheng expressed his stance, the others naturally beat their chests and stamped their feet, looking as if they were dead.

Upon seeing this, Shui Rong chuckled, took a handful of ingredients and sprinkled it on the roasted venison, and said: "Okay, you can think about how to suppress the bandits after you go back, and you won't be blind when the official document is issued. , all go down."

Hearing this, everyone retreated and gathered together, laughing and discussing something, obviously planning to have a big fight.

Shui Rong ignored this and looked at Feng Ziying, who was standing by. He saw Feng Ziying looking at Niu Cheng and the others leaving, with a strange light shining in his eyes, as if he was envious.

Hey, my friends all have the opportunity to lead troops in battle, and he

Smiling, Shui Rong said: "Ziying, this time I will be responsible for the suppression of bandits in Beizhili. When you go back, you should learn about the situation in Beizhili. Don't be blind and lose my face." .”

As the guard commander of Shui Rong, Feng Ziying must accompany him. The suppression of bandits is not blind and purposeless. The situation in each place needs to be understood one by one beforehand, and a combat plan needs to be established. Shui Rong originally planned to lead the troops to have a good time and charge into battle. They need to do it, and it can also train them.

Feng Ziying looked happy when she heard this, cupped her hands and said, "I obey."

He understood that this trip to suppress the bandits was also his performance. Although the Shenwu General's Mansion was the home of martial arts, it was far inferior to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion and the Liguo Duke's Mansion. However, after he followed Shui Rong, As his status rose, his gratitude towards Shui Rong, or the Prince of Beijing, became even greater.

Apart from anything else, my father, Feng Tang, gave me countless instructions.

After giving the instructions, Shui Rong stopped talking and focused on the barbecue. After a while, Chai Dai, Bao Yu, San Chun and Xiang Yun came hand in hand, with relaxed and at ease expressions between their brows and eyes.

Tan Chunqiong, who was always cheerful, twitched her nose slightly and said with a smile: "Smell it, you can smell the aroma here, let's eat it."

Everyone looked at the young man who was grilling, his expression sparkling. The so-called gentleman is far away from the kitchen, but the young man in front of them took the initiative to serve them spoons, and there was a faint throbbing in their hearts.

Especially Tanchun and Baochai, these two people are soluble in water. The meaning of a husband's loving barbecue is always different.

Shui Rong felt relieved when he heard the laughter as crisp as silver bells. He turned over the venison again and said in a clear voice: "It's not cooked yet, please wait for a while."

A group of pampered little ladies, if they eat raw meat, their spleen and stomach will be unhealthy, so they should be more careful.

While they were talking, several people had already come forward. The cheerful Tanchun immediately spread a brocade handkerchief on the ground. He sat down without hesitation with his perky buttocks, and without any hesitation, he greeted generously: "Today we are here." He made his seat on the ground."

Shui Rong's eyes fell on the cheerful Tanchun. Although she was the daughter of a boudoir, she had a heroic spirit, especially under the bed. She also showed a sense of skill that was different from that of her daughter's family, which was gratifying.

Well, I am your sister-in-law, but I am still worthy of my sister.

Tanchun's speech won everyone's approval. He was just going out for fun. They didn't care about these details. They took out their embroidered handkerchiefs and put them on the ground, Shi Shiran and sat down.

Even so, they still maintained their manners, and their graceful bodies were displayed vividly, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

After sitting down, Daiyu looked at the young man with crooked eyebrows, raised the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and said with a "regretful" air, "Hey, it used to be an outing, but now it seems like a group of flower boys, that's all, that's all, My good mood today was ruined by my brother, and I cried a lot because of this trip."

Shui Rong was speechless when he heard this. He took them on the trip just to fulfill his promise of an outing. Now a prince like him even worked as a chef to barbecue for them. He never expected that he would not be able to say a kind word.

Sister Lin's sharp and mean mouth really makes people feel helpless.

Baochai naturally heard the ridicule in it. How could such a good sister be as good as a good husband? So Baochai spoke kindly for Shuirong and said softly: "Our behavior is quite impressive." The flavor of a hermit." Shuirou has always been popular among Jin Chai. Seeing that his good brother was being squeezed out, the lively Xiangyun couldn't help it. He glanced at Daiyu with his smart eyes and sneered: "What do you know, we This time the food is smelly and full of food, it is like "a true celebrity behaves in his own way" and does not stick to trivial matters."

Shui Rong was heartbroken when he saw this. The two god sisters started to argue with each other, and it was because of him. If they turned a blind eye, they might get out of hand, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, you guys are just having fun today." I'm still happy."

How should I put it, Daiyu's harsh words are indeed a bit wrong, but this is Daiyu's character. It was just a joke. If it is not taken seriously, there is no need to care about it. And Xiangyun stood up for him. This is the sister's love for her brother. Nothing wrong.

All in all, it's just a small quarrel between sisters, no need to worry about it, and the peace will be over.

Tan Chunyuan had a clear mind and saw Shui Rong's intention at a glance. With a heroic face, he said loudly: "Seeing the beauty of the mountains, I feel open-minded and this trip is not in vain."

They are all boudoir daughters, and they mostly stay close to home. They rarely have the chance to go out. Now they not only go out for an outing, but even the water does not restrict them and allows them to play around. They have seen the majestic beauty of the mountains, and their hearts are filled with joy. How could you not be happy?

Daiyu Tipa wiped the corner of her lips, stared at the young man, and let out a soft sigh in her heart. How could she not understand this and Xini's words? However, she also didn't know whether her sister was better in her brother's heart, or Yun Yatou's sister. good.

This isn't a comparison, it's just curiosity. With Shui Rong's affection for Xiang Yun, I think in my brother's heart, he still likes Girl Yun more.

Thinking of this, Daiyu felt a touch of sourness in her heart. I knew in my heart that she was not as interesting as the other sisters. After all, she was not as good as the other sisters.

Naturally, Shui Rong didn't know that just for a while, Daiyu began to feel sorry for herself again. After hearing Tanchun's words, she smiled and said, "Since I like it, I can go out more often in the future."

To be honest, I am confined to the size of the back house, and I am suffocating in my heart. I have become accustomed to "fighting in the house" and "fighting in the palace" when I have nothing to do. Wouldn't it be a good thing to simply go out for fun and release the pressure in my heart? .

Well, I also tried to persuade Yuanchun and the others when they returned home. Such a group of people were all huddled in the back house, all staring at him. Not to mention the problem of not being able to bear food, it was not convenient to hunt for wild food or even take a break.

Everyone's expressions lit up when they heard the words. They looked at Shui Rong's eyes with an inexplicable look, and then dimmed again. Daiyu's bare hands circled a strand of black hair beside her ears, her fair jade cheeks revealed a bit of melancholy, and she spoke in a leisurely tone. Said: "How can we travel at will? Brother said it lightly."

My daughter's family travels a lot, not to mention that Princess Beijing and Jia Mu don't like it, even outsiders will gossip about it, which will have an impact on them in the future, unless

The lively Xiangyun couldn't hide his thoughts, glanced at Shuirong, pouted, and said with a somewhat depressed expression: "That's right, if my brother-in-law doesn't accompany us, how can we get out."

If they want to go out for fun without being gossiped about, it is best for Shui Rong to take the lead. In this way, the elders above them will not be able to say anything to refute, and outsiders will not dare to say anything. Just like now, Shui Rong takes them out for an outing, and Jia My mother never said more than one word.

Hearing this, Shui Rong understood clearly that the world's prejudice against daughters' families is too great. No matter how charming you are, as long as you are a daughter, you can only shrink back to the back house, just like Tanchun, a girl who says, "You are smart and your ambition is high." "If she were not a daughter, she would go out to have a career and have a family fortune of her own.

After thinking about it, Shui Rong said, "If I have free time, I will take you out to play more often."

Daiyu glanced at the young man, her pink lips slightly raised, and she said leisurely: "Look, I've started to draw cakes again. If I believe it, I'm afraid I'll burst into tears."

When Shui Rong heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and the look he looked at Daiyu became more and more "unkind". Oh my god, Daiyu would make him feel uncomfortable if she didn't choke him. He was just used to taunting others.

He pursed his lips, and there was a hint of helplessness in Shuirou's voice, and said softly: "Zhen'er, let's talk about it today. I have never painted a cake. You should tell me something. If not, I will punish you for slander." sin."

It's so pitiful that he has never made a big deal about this group of sisters. Daiyu is a naked slander, and he must kill Daiyu's arrogance.

Daiyu saw her brother "questioning" her, and when she thought about it, it seemed that the young man had never painted a cake before, and she felt guilty for a moment. Her fair jade cheeks were slightly red, like willows in the drizzle of spring mountains. His eyes flickered uncertainly.

Seeing this, Shui Rong sneered in his heart. Look, Daiyu also knew that Shui Rong had never done anything to them. It seemed that they could not escape the crime of slander.

Just when Shui Rong was full of confidence, the delicate voice sounded and said: "If my brother has such an attitude, it would be better to just ignore me. It will appear that I am being unreasonable and making trouble."

Water soluble: "."

I reason with you, and you perform magic attacks on me. Also, if you reason with a woman, your water-soluble head is really filled with water.

With a slight cough, Shui Rong's eyes fell on the sizzling venison roasting on the iron stove, and he said softly: "This venison is almost done."

When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile. Her bright eyes shrouded in smoke looked at the young man with inexplicable brightness, and a sweetness like honey surged in her heart.

This brother really loved her.

This scene made Baochai and others smile knowingly. They had known early on that Shuirong was extremely fond of Daiyu, her younger sister, and she was closer than her own sister.

On the other hand, Baoyu had a stern look on his face and a deep bitterness in his heart. He used to get along very harmoniously with his sisters, but once he met his brother-in-law, all the sisters' eyes fell on him, and he couldn't even say a word. I can't even plug it in.

After a while, the venison was roasted, and the fragrance was filled with it, seducing the temple of the five internal organs. Even the water was melted. He moved his index finger and cut it with a knife, then picked it up with an iron fork, handed it to Daiyu, and said in a gentle tone. : "Zhen'er, try your brother's craftsmanship, be careful not to burn it."

If this little devil is not coaxed, he will have random thoughts again.

Daiyu looked at the fresh venison in front of her, knowing that this was her brother's apology. She glanced at the young man with a pair of bright eyes, and took it with a crooked eyebrow. She took a small bite and felt that the barbecue was extremely delicious. It was better than what she had eaten before. All the delicacies from the mountains and seas have to be strong.

Seeing this, Shui Rong didn't say much anymore, he cut it up again and distributed it to everyone one by one.

Xiangyun ate it happily, but seemed to feel that it was not strong enough, and said leisurely: "This time there is meat but no wine, which is quite a bit worse."

The wine in this era was all grain wine, and everyone in my daughter’s family liked to have a few drinks, even the young Xiangyun. Listening to Xiangyun’s words, Shui Rong pinched Xiangyun’s face angrily. , laughed and scolded: "You are the only one who has a lot of things to do."

I can't keep my mouth shut even though I'm eating, there's really no end to it.

Xiang Yun pouted, snorted at Shui Rong, then turned his head away and stopped talking to Shui Rong.

He always pinched her face, which made her feel that it was her brother's fault that she looked a little baby fat, but she didn't hate him at all.

Daiyu ate a piece of venison, but she felt that she was not fully satisfied, so she thought about eating another piece. When Shui Rong saw this, she immediately said: "Zi'er, you are weak, you can only taste it briefly, and you can't digest it if you eat too much."

This barbecue is not suitable for a boudoir woman with a weak spleen and stomach, not to mention Daiyu's frail body.

Seeing this, Daiyu felt satisfied with her brother's love in her heart, but she still pouted on her face, snorted softly, and turned her head away.

Shui Rong was speechless when he saw this. Hey, a barbecue was enough to offend two god-sisters. (End of chapter)
