Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Eight: The Unlucky Mrs. Xing
After Jia Rong came out of the Zichen Palace, she followed the little eunuch who was arranged by the emperor to lead the way, leaving the forbidden area where the emperor lived, and went to the government office in the south.
There is an area in the center of the government office, with five small courtyards connected together, which is the daily office and rest place of the commander of the five road guards.
The little eunuch who led the way took Jia Rong until he walked to the fourth courtyard before stopping, only to see a plaque hanging at the main entrance of this courtyard, 'Southern Guards Commander's Mansion'.
The little eunuch pointed to the courtyard, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Lord Commander, we have arrived at the place, you can go in, we have to go back to the emperor now." ”
"Okay, I'll thank this father-in-law this time." After that, Jia Rong took out a silver ingot from her purse and put it in the eunuch's hand.
"My lord, how can this be done, we are just leading the way." Seeing this, the little eunuch first pretended to shirk it, but he grabbed the silver ingot tightly in his hand, as if he was afraid that Jia Rong would regret not giving it to him in the next moment.
Some people are so strange, they obviously want him very much, but they want to pass the buck with you and pretend to be high.
Seeing this, Jia Rong smiled, let go of the hand holding the silver ingot, and said to the little eunuch: "Eh, you can't say that, this is my father-in-law and I hit it off at first sight, and I specially gave it to my father-in-law for use, how can I not do it, please accept it!" ”
Jia Rong's tone of voice was extremely sincere.
After hearing this, the little eunuch immediately accepted the silver ingot with a smile: "My lord is really a cheerful person, if there is anything that can be used by us in this imperial city in the future, even if we find it, we will do our best to do what we can do." ”
"Then thank you father-in-law!" Jia Rong arched her hand.
In fact, Jia Rong didn't expect this eunuch to do anything at all, he just met, how could he really do anything for you.
As long as you don't chew the root of your tongue behind your back, thank God.
After the two casually said a few more kind words, Jia Rong turned around and entered the courtyard.
The courtyard was not as large as Jia Rong's own courtyard, with only a vacant lot, a hut, and walls on all sides, and no other buildings.
As if hearing Jia Rong's voice, eleven guards wearing round-necked armor immediately walked out of the hut.
Seeing this, Jia Rong couldn't help but rub her eyes and said, "So many people? ”
Is such a small place used by so many people?
Is it necessary for us to be so poor, what about the cards of the Guards?
Jia Rong was still a little puzzled.
After these eleven people saw the golden token hanging from Jia Rong's waist, they all bowed down to Jia Rong and said, "Xiaguan see the commander!" ”
Seeing this, Jia Rong immediately stepped forward to help them and said, "Everyone, please get up, so you are your colleagues in the Southern Guard!" ”
Hearing Jia Rong's question, one person immediately stood up and replied: "If you return to the commander, I am the deputy commander of the Southern Army, and these brothers are all hundreds of households in the Southern Army. ”
Now Jia Rong understood, it turned out that there were not so many people in this courtyard, just to recognize their faces.
Therefore, it is actually very troublesome to change positions, to re-acquaint yourself with new colleagues, to re-establish relationships, and to break up everything again and start again.
At this moment, Jia Rong suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the brothers of the Mandarin Duck Guard, obviously they had already used their hands and left.
After calculating the time, it seems that Brother Qiang and Zhao Ying should also return to the army today, but I don't know where they will be assigned.
"Well, let's get to know each other first!" Jia Rong nodded and said.
"My name, my name is Li Qing." The man who had just said he was the deputy commander replied.
After that, the remaining ten people said their names one after another.
"My name, my name is Wu Yifan."
"My name is Zhang Erhe."
“.....”
After several introductions, Jia Rong also knew the general information of these future colleagues, as well as her future working hours, work locations and work content.
According to what they said, Jia Rong is actually quite easy, if there is no task that needs to be done, she will come here for three hours before midnight every day, take people around everywhere, and go home after grasping and standing guard training.
It sounds pretty good, it's beautiful, and it seems that there will be a lot of time to spend with your family in the future.
Just when Jia Rong was secretly happy, Li Qing frowned again and said: "But if there is a task that needs to be done, it may be impossible to finish the work for several days in a row, which our brothers have deeply experienced a few days ago." ”
"Oh, what's going on?" Hearing this, Jia Rong couldn't help but be curious for a while.
It can't be because of me!
Jia Rong inadvertently remembered the guards she had injured before.
At this time, several generals began to speak eloquently.
"Harm, my lord, listen to me, I got the news a few days ago that there was a big man in the DPRK who was going to rebel, and then the brothers of the Northern Army went to arrest people, and guess what."
"There was a monster that suddenly came out, accompanied by a violent storm, and disappeared out of thin air after killing more than a dozen brothers in the Northern Army one after another."
"The emperor who heard the news immediately became angry, and ordered us to strictly investigate for several days, but nothing was wrong, but people were almost exhausted to death."
Seeing how shocked they looked, if it weren't for this thing and doing it herself, Jia Rong almost thought that there was really a monster appearing.
These people are not real at all, I obviously only killed eight and left, I didn't do anything without looking at my face, and when it came to your mouth, it became a dozen.
Jia Rong asked in surprise, "Then has this monster been caught now?" ”
"No, no one dares to check it again after checking it for a few days!" Li Qing shook his head and sighed: "I guess it's really a monster, it's the first time I've heard of such an invisible existence in so many years." ”
"Don't you know, my lord, there was a dead brother who was wearing our armor, this is armor, but it was pierced, and there was a big hole in his chest, which scared people to death."
All the generals also looked scared.
scared them like this, Jia Rong silently mourned for them in her heart.
I don't know how they would have felt if they knew that the monster in their mouth was right in front of them.
As time passed, the people dispersed, and in the end, even Jia Rong changed into a black guard costume and went on patrol with people.
In the case of patrols, except for the harem, which is not in charge of the guards, other places must be inspected by the guards, including the forbidden center where the emperor lives.
And Jia Rong's purpose of patrolling here is also to go to the forbidden middle school, because there are often beautiful women in the forbidden middle school.
Although you can't eat it, at least it's eye-catching, and it's better than sitting in the government office stupidly.
“...........”
Ningrong Street, Rongguo Mansion!
Mrs. Xing was eating a banana while playing with the chess pendant hanging around her neck, and after she bit off the last piece of pulp, she instructed Xing Xiuyan, who had nothing to do in the outhouse: "Xiuyan, help me throw this banana peel." ”
"Okay auntie." After Xing Xiuyan heard Mrs. Xing's call, she hurriedly ran into the back room to take the banana peel, and then turned to leave.
Seeing Xing Xiuyan's well-behaved appearance, Mrs. Xing nodded with satisfaction.
It has been the fourth day since Mrs. Xing took Xing Xiuyan's family into Rongguo Mansion.
Xing Xiuyan's parents could only live in the outer courtyard, and Xing Xiuyan herself was brought to the inner courtyard by Mrs. Xing.
The current Xing Xiuyan is leaving her parents for the first time, so she has become more dependent on Mrs. Xing, and she is very well-behaved and obedient.
Mrs. Xing originally brought Xing Xiuyan into the inner courtyard because she wanted to ease the relationship with Jia's mother, and everyone knew that this old lady liked cute dolls.
didn't think that when Mrs. Xing took Xing Xiuyan to see Jia's mother, the old lady treated Xing Xiuyan as if Xing Xiuyan didn't exist, presumably because of Mrs. Xing herself, which caused the old lady to be disgusted with the house and Wu.
Now Mrs. Xing no longer wants to please Jia's mother, anyway, she is wrong with her.
It's better to save more money to ensure that you can live the second half of your life well.
The only thing that Mrs. Xing was a little disappointed was that she didn't expect that she still missed the villain wearing the mask a little, and she missed his slap a little.
After a while, after entering the inner room again with the sound of footsteps, the voice of her niece came into Mrs. Xing's ears again.
"Auntie, I'm back, is there anything else I need to do?" Xing Xiuyan blinked her eyes and honestly waited for Mrs. Xing's order.
"It's okay, you go play!" Mrs. Xing waved her hand to signal that she could go, but she did not go.
"Auntie, is it really okay?" Xing Xiuyan asked cautiously.
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Xing felt that she was a little angry.
What does it mean to be really fine?
It's like my wife is abusing you, do I arrange for you to do a lot of things day by day?
This niece is well-behaved and beautiful, but she will always inadvertently talk and be angry with you, and when she is with her, she always acts like she is bullying her.
You don't know if she's really brainstorming or if she's deliberate.
If Mrs. Xing knew the words of later generations, she would probably scold a 'green tea'.
Mrs. Xing wanted to scold Xing Xiuyan directly, but she forcibly held back her anger in the face of her pitiful look.
"Alas~!" Mrs. Xing sighed, feeling that she had lost to Xing Xiuyan, and said a little angrily: "Forget it, go out with me!" ”
Since she wants to find something to do, let's go!
"Uh-huh!" Hearing her aunt say that she wanted to accompany her to go shopping, Xing Xiuyan nodded at this time, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
In fact, Xing Xiuyan didn't mean it, she was just scared, the first time she left her parents, only her aunt was a relative in the entire inner courtyard.
She had to rely on her aunt, Mrs. Xing, but Mrs. Xing had a bad impression of her before, fierce.
So Xing Xiuyan subconsciously wanted to help Mrs. Xing do things to please her, so as not to be scolded.
She herself hadn't thought about it, maybe Mrs. Xing would be even more annoyed by this kind of thing.
After the two spoke, Mrs. Xing slowly sat up, put on embroidered shoes and walked out, and Xing Xiuyan also walked closely behind Mrs. Xing.
Since she only took Xing Xiuyan out for a walk this time, Mrs. Xing didn't call other maids to follow.
Out of the courtyard, one big and one small, walked on the road in the inner courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, silent all the way.
It wasn't until the two of them unconsciously arrived near Mrs. Wang's courtyard that Xing Xiuyan saw Lin Daiyu, Tanchun and others reading in the distance.
Xing Xiuyan was envious in her heart, these rich girls can actually read, can they read and write?
When I grew so old, I never knew what books looked like, let alone be literate.
Mrs. Xing felt that there was no one beside her, and turned her head to look, only to see Xing Xiuyan Zhengmu staring at Lin Daiyu and them in a daze.
Mrs. Xing was suddenly a little unhappy, those are not all the way, they are favored girls in the house, you see what they do.
"Xiuyan, what are you looking at?" Mrs. Xing asked.
"No... It's nothing. Hearing her aunt's voice, Xing Xiuyan came back to her senses.
"Since it's nothing, let's go back!" Mrs. Xing was also a little tired from shopping, and just wanted to go back and lie down early.
At this moment, Xing Xiuyan said again: "Auntie, can I go and play with them?" ”
I almost didn't let Mrs. Xing catch fire, if you want to find something, I won't have you to go around, and now you still want to go into her stinky yard surnamed Wang to play, that old lady has no time to accompany you.
"Humph!" Mrs. Xing snorted and said, "If you want to go play, go ahead, I'll go first." ”
After saying that, Mrs. Xing turned around and left.
Xing Xiuyan didn't understand, thinking that she had received her aunt's approval, so she happily went in the direction of Lin Daiyu and them.
After Mrs. Xing left, she thought that her niece would follow obediently, but she didn't hear any movement after walking for a long time, and turned her head to see that she had already gone towards Mrs. Wang's courtyard.
almost didn't faint Mrs. Xing on the spot.
After Mrs. Xing took a few deep breaths, she slowly calmed down her mood and walked away quickly.
He chirped in his mouth: "The nasty little rabbit cub, the wolf who can't be raised, everyone wants to go to the surname Wang, what good is she about." ”
Mrs. Xing walked quickly alone, and after a while, she was almost there, and at this moment, a voice that made Mrs. Xing annoying suddenly sounded.
"I've seen my wife!"
Madame Xing turned her head to look, and a nasty face appeared not far away.
Seeing this face, Mrs. Xing only felt that everything seemed to be going wrong today.
