The residence of the fifth prince, the house was in a mess, Situ Rui sat on the ground weakly, holding the letter sent by the prince in his hand, tears flowed, his eyes were blank, and he said in his mouth: "Why, why." ”

After Jia Yu left the sage's study, he rushed to the courtyard where the five princes lived. The saint didn't know what it meant, before he left, he asked him to come and see the five princes, and when he entered the courtyard, Jia Yu saw Dai Quan beside the five princes and more than a dozen other palace maids standing tremblingly in the courtyard, the door closed.

Dai Quan saw Jia Yu come in, his heart was annoyed, he has been with His Royal Highness since he was a child, and he also guessed one or two about His Royal Highness's heart, His Royal Highness is afraid that he is interested in the girl of Rongguo Mansion, and today His Royal Highness, who was still happy, received the prince's letter, and after reading it, he was furious and smacked all the things that could be smashed in the house, and then drove all the things in the house out.

"Father-in-law Lao passed the word, and said that Jia Yu was visiting, "Looking at the expressions of the people in this courtyard, I am afraid that the fifth prince will also know about his sister's engagement, but this is good, so that he can die early."

Dai Quan was dissatisfied with Na Jia Yu because he felt sorry for his master, but this could only be in his heart, and he pushed the door and walked into the house on the surface. looked at the master who was sitting on the ground in a daze, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, Lord Xiao Jia is here and said"

Before he could finish speaking, Situ Rui pushed him away and rushed out of the house, the wind flashed in front of Jia Yu, pulled his collar with both hands, and said angrily: "Did you already know?"

Jia Yu saw that his hair was messy, his clothes were disheveled, his face was stained with tears, and his hands were also slightly scarred, and he sighed in his heart: "Yes, my father agreed with the Lin family about this family more than three years ago. ”

Hearing this, Situ Rui let go of his hand weakly, it turned out that he was three years late, three years late, even so, God did not let him meet, moved his heart, paid love, but in the end it became a hopeless love. "If there is no Lin family, will the Rongguo Guild marry my daughter?"

Jia Yu was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "No, this is not because of the Lin family, but because of His Royal Highness, my father will never marry my sister into the royal family." ”

"Heh, heh, royal, I forgot that I was born in the royal family," Situ Rui said with a smile, "You go, I want to be quiet." ”

Jia Yu watched silently for a while, shook his head and left. Situ Rui returned to the study and splashed ink, and a picture of a lady appeared on the rice paper, in which the girl's eyes were clear and longing for the waves. The eyebrows are not dotted but Dai, the lips are not painted but Zhu, wearing plain clothes, holding a suqin in his hand and smiling in the flowers, that appearance is similar to Jia Min. Situ Rui looked at the woman in the painting stupidly, and mentioned another poem:

It is empty words to disappear, and the moon is inclined upstairs for five watches.

Dreams are far away, and books are urged to become ink.

Wax shines on half a cage of gold jadeite, musk smoke slightly embroidered hibiscus.

Liu Lang already hates Pengshan far away, and he is even more separated by Pengshan for 10,000 weights!

Emperor Kangqing, who was originally in Jinling, received an urgent report from the border and hurriedly returned to Beijing. Emperor Kangqing, who had just returned to the palace, failed to rest and recruited the scholars of the palace, the six scholars and the generals in Beijing. Everyone looked at Emperor Kangqing with a blue face in panic, and their hearts were uneasy, this time the northwest incident happened suddenly, and in just a few days, two cities were captured by several tribes, which has never happened since the founding of the dynasty.

Shang Shu of the Ministry of War stepped forward tremblingly and said stubbornly: "Shengshang, do you want to mobilize the Xianzhou garrison to support the northwest? Or do you want to send troops directly from the capital?"

Sun Dong, a scholar, stepped forward: "Sheng, the minister thinks that talk is the main thing, and war is supplemented. ”

"Oh, Aiqing, is there any solution?" said Emperor Kangqing, raising his eyebrows.

"This attack on the two cities in the northwest is a coalition of several tribes, although they are brave and good at fighting, but they have one of the biggest weaknesses is the alliance of interests. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. The forces of the tribes in the northwest are already strong and weak, and the benefits will be different, and this war will not allow every tribe to get satisfactory benefits, and they are not ready to start a full-scale war with our DPRK, but they just want to profit from it. We can grasp this point and draw them together. So as to achieve the army of surrender without a fight. Sun Dong said eloquently.

Emperor Kang Qing thought about it and said, "What do you mean?"

"What Lord Sun said is reasonable, but the minister is not only worried about the northwest, but also the Qianxiang country, if the Qianxiang country takes advantage of this to send troops, it will be the enemy on the back of the belly, which is not good for our army. Moreover, the matter of peace talks cannot be resolved in a day or two, and it is the best policy for the minister to stop the war. Jia Daishan replied. As a military general, the horse leather shroud is their ultimate pursuit, and the responsibility for peace talks is their shame. If every violation is resolved by peace talks, then what are they going to do?

The words 'stop the war with war' floated in Emperor Kangqing's mind, and he was always worried that there would be no successor after the veteran, and it would be okay if he could use this war to train a few capable generals. "Hubu, is there a problem with grain and grass?" "The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and Emperor Kangqing cares about the grain and grass first.

"Holy Lord, the granaries everywhere are full, and the autumn harvest is coming, and there is no problem with grain and grass. Hubu Shangshu replied in unison.

When the generals heard Emperor Kangqing's words, they also knew that he planned to fight, and they were very excited and asked for battle.

Emperor Kangqing went through the young generals in his heart, and thought of a few more suitable people, but although these generals are not bad in all aspects, in the end, Qingqing's experience in the battle is still not as rich as that of the veteran, so it is necessary to send a veteran to take it, but who is the most suitable candidate for this veteran? The four kings and eight princes were also fighting with □□ in the world, and most of the descendants were still from the martial arts, and the four kings were married to the eldest princess of Changjing, the sister of the □□, so they were more interested in the world, and they returned the military power in their hands to □□. The king of Nan'an County, the king of Xining County, and the king of Dongping County each supported one side of the military power, and if one of them led the troops after this battle, they strengthened their troops, which was also absolutely impossible.

In addition to the Zhenguo Bull Qing is still there, and Jia Daishanping is the Duke of the Country, the other mansions have already been demoted in name only. Thinking of Jia Daishan Kang Qing Emperor to think of a suitable person Jia Daishan's brother-in-law Shi Bang, compared to Jia Daishan, although not outstanding, but also a good general, the most important thing is that Shi Bang's people are the most steady and steady, although there is no great merit or great fault in leading troops to fight.

In the end, Emperor Kangqing named Shi Bang as the commander, and several young generals as the vanguard, and the most surprising thing is that Emperor Kangqing also gave several children of the family a small official position, incorporated into the crusade army, and went to the northwest.

The fifth prince Situ Rui also begged Emperor Kangqing to hone with the army, and also adjusted his lost heart, but was rejected by Emperor Kangqing, the prince heard that he was going to join the army, so he came to the head to comfort him, and when he entered the door, he saw that Situ Rui was still a little depressed, and the girl Jia was afraid that her position in the old five hearts was not shallow.

"The younger brother sees the prince. Situ Rui saw that the prince was coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Fifth brother, you, do you still want it?" the prince said with concern.

"Thank you for the prince's care, my brother is fine. ”

"That's good, that's good, it's not good if you force it on you, Miss Yujia. It's better to put it down. The prince sighed, but when he saw Situ Rui's confused face, he said: "Fifth brother, you can also be affectionate as a prince, but this love can only be more than one, if you are dedicated to one person, and you don't need others to take action, my father will already destroy that person in the world." So, fifth brother, if you really like Miss Jia or let it go, don't say that she has a marriage contract now, but no, are you willing to let her struggle like this harem girl. ”

"I, I, I didn't think so, I, I could protect her. Situ Rui said with a pale face.

"The fifth brother grew up in the harem, and I don't understand anything, if you can't give her a quiet place, she will still fight in the end, either stepping on others or being stepped on by others. "The crown prince has long been disgusted with the harem struggle, and his queen mother is also slowly withering in this struggle.

Situ Rui thought that his mother concubine was silently surviving in this big harem, sometimes it was more like a shadow to have a place to survive, if that beautiful person was like his mother in the end, or like the queen, was she still the one she liked? Situ Rui thought deeply. The prince also left silently when he saw it, he knew that the fifth brother usually seemed a little unlearned, but he was clear-minded, and if he could figure it out by himself, he would really let it go.

Late at night, Lin Ruhai woke up from his dream again, his forehead was covered with fine cold sweat, and his heart ached faintly. With his hand gently caressing his heart, he sat on the bed gasping for breath. He didn't know how many times he woke up from a dream, this dream was very long, but he was always blocked by a puff of smoke in the dream, and he couldn't see clearly, but he vaguely saw a woman and a man, from the two newlyweds to the woman who abandoned her husband and daughter, and died. After going to Jia's house to propose marriage, I began to have this dream that night, and I often dreamed later.

The pleasure in the dream is too short, and the pain is too long. He felt as if he had felt the same as the man, having tasted the pain of the untimely death of his young son, the pain of losing his love, and had experienced the things of his dreams as if he had actually experienced them. Those joys, pains, and loneliness were clearly experienced, but every time I woke up, I couldn't remember the things in the dream, but the joy, despair, and pain remained in my heart. He didn't understand why he had never had such a dream, what the relationship between the man and woman in the dream was with him, and what warning this dream had for him.

After calming down, Lin Ruhai picked up the blue and white tea cup on the high table and took a sip, his breath was smoother, he had dreamed so many times, and every time he was the same person, the same thing happened, this could not be described as a coincidence, but what did that dream want to tell him? Is this related to Rongguo Mansion, or is this dream related to Miss Najia, Lin Ruhai frowned and thought deeply.

In order to understand the doubts in his heart, Lin Ruhai went to Qingxuguan early the next morning to find Master Wuzhi. Rongguo Mansion also got the news that Lin Ruhai went to Qingxuguan, Zhang Qiong lingered after hearing this, and went to the old lady's courtyard with a peach smile, "Granddaughter-in-law, I've seen my grandmother." ”

"Why are you alone, why didn't my precious great-grandson come to see me, the old lady?" The old lady saw Zhang Qiong coming, but she didn't bring Jia Hu as usual, "Is something wrong?"

Zhang Qiong smiled, with a slight sour taste: "It's still the uncle who said right, since we had Hu'er, a little human spirit, we have long been thrown into which corner by our grandmother to squeak, it's really sad." ”

When the old lady heard Zhang Qiong's sour words, she knew that Jia Hu was fine, but she didn't bring him with her, for fear that her granddaughter-in-law would have something to find her, so she quipped: "Really, why do you still eat your son's vinegar as a mother, if others know it, I'm afraid I'm going to laugh at you." ”

After laughing, Zhang Qiong officially said her plan: "Grandmother, I just got the news, saying that the uncle of the Lin family went to Qingxuguan in the morning, and the granddaughter-in-law thought that since my sister and the uncle of the Lin family were married, but in the end, my sister didn't know what the temperament of the uncle of the Lin family was, so it was better to take this opportunity to let my sister take a look at the uncle of the Lin family from a distance, and I was so relieved." ”

After Lin Jia's two families got engaged, Jia Min has been very indifferent, and she can't tell whether she is willing or unwilling, let alone the girl's expectations for the future. This kind of Jia Min made Zhang Qiong very worried, she also became a woman from a girl, when she heard that she was going to marry Jia Yu, she was shy at first, more panicked and uneasy about the future, and also had some expectations. And Jia Min usually shows shyness when they are playing, but under the shyness is calm and calm.

"I'm afraid it's not good. Although most families make a marriage, in order to calm their daughter's heart, they will secretly let their daughter see the destined person, which is understandable. But it was all about calling the engaged man to his home, and letting his daughter hide behind the screen cover and take a look from afar.

"Grandmother, this time I went but let my sister see the uncle of the Lin family, but also to let the master of the Wu Wu sister and the uncle of the Lin family merge the eight characters, although the Lin Jia family is officially engaged, but the day of the small set has not been chosen, a few days ago Mrs. Lin also sent someone to ask about the small set, and sent a few good days, but in the end it is safer to choose the day after the eight characters. Zhang Qiong remembered the news she received from the Shi family yesterday, and said with some concern: "There was news from my grandfather's mansion yesterday that my grandfather's health is getting worse and worse, and even the imperial doctor sent by the palace came to see him, and he only prescribed some nourishing and tonic medicines, but he just asked his grandfather to take care of him for a few more days, and his uncle came back from the northwest to see him for the last time." If the grandfather really goes, the younger sister will also have to serve as a granddaughter, and the small thing should be decided as soon as possible. ”

"The old lady is not good, has the wife been to see it?" The old lady heard that the old lady of the Shi family was not good, and her heart was very sad, and there were few old people left in their older generation, but who could escape this life, old age, sickness and death. "Forget it, since you've thought about everything, then you can take Min'er to Qingxuguan, grandmother is old, her body is sinking, and she doesn't want to move. As long as you see each other from afar, you can't be polite. ”

"Yes, Grandmother. Seeing that the old lady agreed, Zhang Qiong hurriedly sent someone to the front yard to prepare the car first, and asked someone to go to Qingya Courtyard to inform Jia Min to let him pack up and wait to go out.

In the garden, wearing an ink-colored embroidered silver silk ruyi pattern brocade robe, children walked slowly on the corridor. The cute little white face makes people can't help but want to reach out and pinch it, but at this time they try their best to make a solemn expression. A pair of swarthy eyes like black pearls, with a solemn look like a little adult, it looks as delicate as snow carving, and you can see the elegance and handsomeness of that day at a young age. The girl and the mother behind him were all sad and looked at the little person in front of them, looking like they didn't dare to speak if they wanted to dissuade them. As if feeling the resentment behind him, the child glanced back at the people behind him, and snorted disdainfully: "I said that you don't have to follow, I'm going to my aunt's place, why are you still following?"

"That, grandma asked you to wait for her in the courtyard, if grandma comes back and doesn't see my brother, I'm afraid I'll be in a hurry. Jia Hu's grandmother hurriedly reminded.

The round eyes narrowed slightly, and Jia Hu said calmly: "I'll go to my aunt first, you go back, and my mother will come back and say that I'm in my aunt." "My aunt has been so busy lately, and she hasn't made her favorite snacks for a few days, which makes him so angry, but my mother said that my aunt is married, and she has a lot of things to do, so she can't accompany him like before. But why does my aunt want to marry, this marrying is really not good at all, so that my aunt doesn't love him now. Thinking of this, Jia Hu ran all the way to Qingya Courtyard, those girls had no choice but to follow all the way, and Jia Hu's grandmother also sent a girl back to Qingfeng Courtyard to tell her brother to go to Miss Min.

In Qingya Courtyard, Jia Min received a message from Zhang Qiong, saying that he was going to Qingxuguan to incense. When it comes to Qingxuguan, she thinks of the master Wuzhi who gave her Buddhist beads. Although I don't know if the master saw anything from her, what is the meaning of the Buddha beads. But every time she thinks of the leisurely indifference without the master, she is always very weak-hearted, and she is even more afraid that she will see her difference.

"Auntie. Outside the door, there was the sound of children's light footsteps and soft and coquettish calls.

"Girl, Brother Hu is here. The girl outside the door shouted.

Jia Min came back to his senses, the smile on his face was a little more gentle, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw Jia Hu walking in with a look of grievance, looking at himself pitifully. Jia Min smiled lightly: "Hu'er, what's wrong with this, who bullied you? ”

Hearing the dim sum, Jia Hu immediately threw himself into Jia Min's arms happily, and said with some grievances: "Auntie, don't you like Hu'er anymore, you haven't been with Hu'er for several days, and you have made snacks for Hu'er." ”

Jia Min saw his aggrieved expression, and was very funny in his heart, reached out to pick him up and sat in his arms, raised his hand and nodded his little brain and smiled: "Okay, it's my aunt's fault, my aunt apologized to Hu'er, and promised to make snacks for Hu'er every day in the future, is this good?"

Jia Hu rubbed in Jia Min's arms with satisfaction, smelled the faint fragrance on her body with satisfaction, blinked her big eyes and said: "Auntie, it's so good, Hu'er likes her aunt the most, can you not be engaged to that aunt?"
