Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 112 Brothers
Du Zhong reported that Qin Wangfu sent someone to invite him.

Invitation late at night, of course, there is something that needs to be discussed face to face.

Zheng Jingyan was still wearing a cotton and silk robe for home use, but he lived here before he got married, so all the clothes and other things were kept as they were. Du Zhong went to the closet to find a dark blue night suit for him to change into. When going to special places such as Prince Qin's Mansion, Lord Hou never brought any entourage with him, so his whereabouts were unpredictable. He knew when he would leave, but he didn't know when he would return.

Before leaving, casually tell Ruyi to keep the lamps and candles in the study, but be careful not to let the water go.

Previously, there were big girls and servants who were in charge of Hanjin Courtyard. Because they repeatedly made mistakes and provoked Zheng Jingyan, they were all dismissed. Later, two were brought up temporarily. After getting married, Yiqing let Ruyi and Mother Zhong go, and directly sent The original stewards were squeezed out. Although Ruyi is an old lady and a former person, since she has come to Hanjin Courtyard, she only regards Zheng Jingyan as the master, and she will not let them stay in Hanjin Courtyard with soft ears just because of their special status. It is based on nature, especially in Hanjinyuan's study room, where Ruyi is guarded very tightly. Zheng Jingyan is quite satisfied, and because she entered the mansion since she was a child, she was once the old lady's servant, so she doesn't want her to make mistakes, and reminds her from time to time. Two sentences.

Ruyi watched Master Hou walk down the steps, and soon disappeared into the heavy night, then turned back into the study and closed the door, took out the sewing work hidden in a small cabinet, and walked to a large arhat in the outer corner of the study Sit down on the big chair and start embroidery work with peace of mind.

From this place, through the carved screen, you can clearly see the sheepskin lamp on the desk in the inner room. Ruyi guarded the lamp more than once until Hou Ye came back. until dawn.

The books in the study must be the precious books that Lord Hou cherishes so much, that's why he is so concerned. When the lady on duty always dozes off, the surest way is to keep them by herself.

In the Baohua Pavilion of Prince Qin’s Mansion, Yuan Zhao sat alone under the window with his head down, contemplating a game of chess. Just as he was about to make a move, he saw that the black and white pieces on the jade chessboard moved to their corresponding positions without wind. The chess game was broken in the blink of an eye. He turned defeat into victory and forced Baizi into a corner.

Yuan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and shouted out the window: "I want you to be troublesome! I can figure out a way to solve it now,"

But Zheng Jingyan came in from the door, expressionless: "When you figure it out, it will be dawn, I don't have time to sit with you!"

Yuan Zhao squinted at him with his slender single phoenix eyes, and said with a smile, "Oh, I forgot: you are still in the wedding period! It's rare, cousin Ah Yan has really opened up, and knows what it means to have a short spring night!"

"If you want to talk about relatives, I'm obviously a cousin!"

"That's because you broke the rules and jumped out of your mother's womb three months early, and it turned out to be me... I don't accept it!"

Yuan Zhao got angry when he mentioned this, and Nanny Zhou, who had been serving his mother and concubine, told him: The Xu sisters had a very good relationship back then, and Concubine Xu became pregnant first. For the sake of status, the two sisters prayed in front of the Buddha that Concubine Xu's belly would be a child. man.Afterwards, Mrs. Zheng also became pregnant, and the two sisters agreed that if Mrs. Zheng gave birth to a daughter, she would definitely be the wife of her cousin in the future!

As a result, Zheng Jingyan not only ran out ahead of time to take the lead, but he was not a woman!

Yuan Zhao pointed Zheng Jingyan: "Now that you are married, hurry up and give birth to a girl for me, and it's the same to compensate me for a daughter-in-law!"

Zheng Jingyan lowered his eyes slightly, remembering the scene where Yiqing was holding the well-fitting jade figure and scrutinized it just now, a slight blush flashed across her face—are you having a baby...

Yuan Zhao didn't pay attention to his expression, and stretched out his hands to grab his shoulders and walked to the small hall opposite: "I asked them to prepare some food for you to eat together, and then let's go to the front yard—since you and Xia Yiqing got married. , Wang Yaozhen is not the only one who complains, the people in the big study in the front yard of the Wangfu are very dissatisfied with you: every time you have to invite them to come, and you will never show up in the middle of the night again!"

Zheng Jingyan asked, "But what's the matter?"

"Well, today I just received a report from Feishu from the west: the Yuezhi, Tarta, Fangwen and other countries that have paid tribute to our Dahua Dynasty for more than [-] years have recently sent cavalry to harass and rob the border people. Judging from the various situations that have been investigated, these countries are very likely to gather soldiers and horses, and wantonly invade our western border country!"

"What's the reaction in the court? What did the emperor say?"

"The ministers have their own opinions. The emperor has coughed recently and has not spoken. The king of Qi is silent, but the few people who are close to him insist on mobilizing troops and horses to fight at any time! These people guessed that the king of Qi wanted to take over this matter , He wants to go out of Beijing and take over the military power! I also think it makes sense."

Zheng Jingyan said: "Prince Qi, maybe that is what he wants to show! But if he says he wants to go to the west, where does he have the confidence? The prince's personal conquest is a very important matter. Whether the emperor will agree to it or not depends on the commander of the west defense army." , That’s Empress Yu’s family! Yu’s cousin, Yu Daji, has led the Western Army for ten years as a marshal, and has deep connections. Needless to say, the generals support King Wei! When King Qi passes by, aren’t you afraid that someone will secretly trip him up?”

Yuan Zhao nodded thoughtfully: "As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't defeat a local snake. Yuan Ji may not be able to suppress Yu Daji with the prestige of King Qi, so what is he going to do?"

Zheng Jingyan's eyes shifted, and he looked at Yuan Zhao: "Qi Wang Yuan Ji's intention to go out of Beijing is not for the west, but for our trip to the south!"

Yuan Zhao raised his brows, and Zheng Jingyan patted the table lightly: "Good thing! The Emperor must have agreed to let you inspect Nanfang, and let Yuan Ji know about it!"

"What, how did you say it?"

Yuan Zhao stuttered a little with joy: "All of us are dog-nosed, and we haven't smelled anything yet. How could Yuan Ji know?"

Zheng Jingyan said: "Yuan Jisheng's mother, Jing Concubine You, was born in a humble family, but she was assigned to the current emperor as soon as she entered the palace. There are no one who is familiar with the emperor's cronies and attendants! Even Eunuch Zhang, who was pulled over by you, once As I said, You Shi is a very kind and wonderful woman! Regardless of whether You Shi pretends to be a good person or not, as long as the people around the emperor don't reject her, since the news from the emperor's dragon case can be intercepted by our people, sometimes it can arrive early Where is King Qi! If King Qi is really eager to go out of Beijing, it means that we have something to do with our southern tour! King Qi couldn’t hold back when he saw that King Qin’s mansion was being reused—don’t forget, your elder brother has always been the most worried It's you! He may want to relive the prince's parade in the past, and he also wants to protect you once!"

"Go, go, go! Don't mention this bad thing to me! If it wasn't for your master and your fellow disciples secretly protecting me that year, I would have lost nine lives!"

Yuan Zhao waved his robe sleeves, and said as if waving away some bad luck: "We must never let him follow me again!"

"It's hard to say. The emperor entrusted you with a burden. Seeing that the elder son is so sensible and responsible, he has to share the worries for the country. If he can't make Longxin happy, let him go out of Beijing to go west. You have a substitute, so does he." , it depends on who can outrun who!"
