My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 129

"Zhou Rui and his wife?"

Jia Yu thought for a while and then remembered.

This week, Mr. and Mrs. Rui are Mrs. Wang’s companions and Leng Zixing’s father-in-law.

Zhou Rui's daughter-in-law often appeared in the Grand View Garden and at Mrs. Wang's and Second Grandma Lian's house.He is relatively tactful and adapts to the situation, which is what Jia Baoyu calls a typical "fish eye".

Moreover, Zhou Rui and his wife can be regarded as repaying and warm-hearted people, and they were also the guides for Grandma Liu to enter the Rongguo Mansion.

Since we knew that the couple had good hearts, it was okay to let them come.

So he nodded, "You have the final say in this kind of thing. Our house still lacks a housekeeper, so let Zhou Rui do it."

As for Zhou Rui's wife, just let her follow you. "

Yuan Chun saw Jia Yu agreeing and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, husband."

"Why are you thanking me?" Jia Yu waved her hand, "Since I married you, you have the final say in the back house... By the way..."

Jia Yu suddenly remembered something, "Have you seen our warehouse?"

"I've seen it." Upon hearing this, Yuanchun's pretty face showed an expression of both anger and amusement.

"I have finally convinced you, master and servant. One really dares to delegate power, and the other really dares to manage money.

What surprised me was that Qingwen, a little girl who couldn't read a word, could still remember the amount of silver in her family roughly.

Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise the house would not be in chaos. "

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Jia Yu also blushed when she heard this, "But fortunately you are married now, so you can take over this part. Also, Qingwen begged me yesterday, asking her aunt and cousin to come to the house to help. , did she tell you?"

"I said so."

Yuan Chun nodded, "I have already told Qingwen to ask his cousin and his wife to go to the kitchen to help Sister Liu. The monthly schedule is temporarily set at one tael of silver per month. Anyway, our family does not lack food like them."

"That's fine."

Jia Yu nodded with satisfaction. It was good to have a mistress at home. She didn't have to worry about the affairs of the back house at all.

Unlike before, just dealing with the affairs of the back house every day would waste a lot of energy.

While the couple were chatting about their daily life, a dusty knight rode his horse into the city gate again, startling the few defenders standing at the city gate.

The leader was about to yell and scold him, but when he saw the three small flags stuck behind the person's back, he shut his mouth and was replaced by a look of surprise and uncertainty.

"Damn it, what's going on? Why did another urgent person show up so soon?"

"Boss... what's going on? Could it be that something happened over there at Tongguan?" a soldier on the side asked.

"I don't think so. The guy who just came in has been running on the road for at least a few days. Tongguan is only so far from our capital. Did he run for that long?"

"Yeah, what happened?"

A group of soldiers were discussing there.

The knight did not stop and rushed directly towards the Meridian Gate. He ran rampant along the way, knocking over many stalls and trampling on many goods.

"A hundred thousand urgent things... a hundred thousand urgent things..." After the war horse arrived at the Meridian Gate, the war horse, which had already been foaming at the mouth, neighed, and fell to the ground with its front hooves. The unprepared knight also fell to the ground.

He struggled to stand up and shouted to the guards guarding the Meridian Gate, "Hurry... help me in... I want to see His Majesty!"

The guards guarding outside the Meridian Gate did not dare to neglect. Two of them ran over, helped the person up one on the left and the other on the right, and ran towards the Huangji Hall, because at this time, Emperor Changping had not yet gone to court and was following him. The officials are discussing matters.

When the imperial guard helped the knight into the hall, the knight knelt down towards Emperor Changping who was sitting on the dragon throne, took out a brocade box from the bag behind his back and raised it above his head, panting and saying: "Your Majesty... you are in urgent need... Hou Jin Nurhaci led [-] troops to surround Shenyang half a month ago, and Shenyang is in danger!"

"boom……"

As soon as the knight finished speaking, the entire Huangji Palace immediately started to stir.

All the officials were in a commotion.

What's the matter, Prince Tengzheng led his troops in a bloody battle with the Mongolian Tatars in Tongguan, and Houjin is making trouble again?
Emperor Changping's face became ugly. He did not take the request for help from Dai Quan and said directly: "Read it!"

"Here!"

Dai Quan did not dare to be negligent, so he opened the document and read loudly: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Xining County, and the Governor of Liaodong, An Zaishi, Dunshou, our Emperor, on the second day of April in the 13th year of Changping, Nurhaci, the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, personally led an army of thirty thousand. I want to attack Shenyang.

Shenyang is an important town in Liaodong. If it is lost, Great Xia will be in danger.Besides, Nurhaci and his people are all cunning people and generals who are good at fighting. They should not underestimate the enemy.

I am willing to lead my troops and fight Nurhachi to the death.I should die to serve my country and live up to His Majesty's kindness.

May your majesty be wise and sincere, and may you provide troops to rescue us.The country is very lucky and the people are very lucky. "

After Dai Quan finished reading, there was silence in the hall.

It took a long time before someone shouted: "Absurd... simply absurd!
The king of Xining County has [-] elite soldiers in his hands. The thieves chief Nurhachi only led [-] troops to attack. He is so panicked. How dare he ask the court for reinforcements? "

Someone else came out to retort: ​​"Sir Bai's words are wrong. Don't you hear that Hou Jin is less than ten thousand and he is invincible?

The soldiers and horses of the Later Jin Dynasty were even more ferocious than the Mongols. Moreover, although the king of Xining County had [-] soldiers and horses, he had to guard the passes of Jinzhou, Liaoyang, Shanhaiguan and other places.

The city of Shenyang only had [-] soldiers and horses to support it. To deal with Hou Jin's [-] elite soldiers, it was naturally insufficient. Is this strange? "

"Isn't twenty thousand soldiers and horses enough?" The official sneered: "Shenyang City has high walls and deep walls. Let alone twenty thousand, even ten thousand soldiers and horses are more than enough to defend the city.

In my opinion, the Prince of Xining County is taking this opportunity to ask for food and salary from the court. This trend must not last long! "

"It's ridiculous. You don't know that the military situation is like a fire. Can you afford to delay military affairs?"

"Don't scare me with this important military matter. Although I don't know anything about military matters, I still know a lot about it.

Eighty thousand people can't beat [-] people. In my opinion, I don't want such a Liaodong governor! "

"You fart, you can do it, come on..."

The two started arguing, and soon their respective supporters joined the team fight, and for a while the entire hall fell into a quarrel.

As the chief assistant, Tan Qingyun just squinted his eyes and said nothing, and the other cabinet ministers also did not speak.

They all knew in their hearts that the letter from the Prince of Xining County asking for reinforcements was fake. In fact, he was telling the court that they were busy here and they probably didn't have any extra troops to rush to Tongguan.

Emperor Changping naturally thought of everything Tan Qingyun and the others could think of.

He didn't say anything while sitting on the dragon chair. Dai Quan, who was just waiting on the side, looked at Emperor Changping's left index finger and kept rubbing the ring finger to see that his master might have murderous intentions.
