The sound of wooden fish came from the east room of Rongxi Hall.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Dingyi each sat opposite each other on a futon.

On the eucalyptus table between the two, a Tibetan incense floated with green smoke of birds.

Madame Wang's eyes were slightly closed, counting the rosary in her hand, and her mouth was silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Miaoyu stood in front of the couch and glanced at Mrs. Wang from time to time.

The wooden fish in Mrs. Dingyi's hand became more and more urgent, and the sound was getting louder and louder in Miaoyu's ears, as well as the buzzing chanting sound of Mrs. Wang, Miaoyu frowned, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and accidentally knocked down the coffee table behind her.

All the sound came to an abrupt end.

Madame Wang opened her eyes suddenly.

Master Dingyi was too quiet to put the wooden fish on the eucalyptus.

Mrs. Wang pulled out the handkerchief print from her sleeve to dry the fine sweat on her forehead.

Master Dingyi: "All sentient beings have the wisdom and virtue of the future, but they do not attain it because of delusional attachment. ”

Madame Wang was stunned.

Mrs. Dingyi: "Madame can't let it go?" ”

Madame Wang only nodded.

Master Dingyi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, it is better to ask for others than for yourself. ”

Madame Wang hesitated again.

Master Dingyi stood up and said to Miaoyu: "Let's go, go back to Muni Temple!" ”

Mrs. Wang Huo Di stood up, saluted Dingyi Shitai, and said to Caixia: "Tell Zhou Rui's family, I asked for a sea lantern in Muni Courtyard, add five catties of sesame oil every day, and let her send it for a month first, and then send it regularly every month, and send it together with those incense and candle offerings." ”

Caixia: "Yes." ”

Master Dingyi recited "Amitabha Buddha Compassion Great Bodhisattva".

Mrs. Wang said to Caixia again: "Tell the housekeeper to send Master Dingyi and his apprentice back to Muni Courtyard safely." ”

Caixia nodded and said to Master Dingyi, "Please!" ”

"Farewell!" Master Dingyi bowed, turned around and left with Miaoyu.

Listening to the footsteps outside getting farther and farther away, Mrs. Wang turned around and sat back on the kang, laughed in her nose, and threw the rosary on the eucalyptus table, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and when she looked up, it was Baoyu who walked in with a porcelain vase, and there was a peach blossom in it.

"Why are you here?" Mrs. Wang hurriedly pulled Baoyu to sit down, glanced at the flower in his arms again, and said with a smile: "What is this for?" ”

Baoyu put the vase on the eucalyptus table and said with a smile: "I was fishing with my third brother in Xifu Garden, and I happened to see the peach blossoms blooming, so I thought about sending a branch to my wife." ”

"In the end, when I grew up, I knew filial piety to me, and I even thought of a flower. The master must be happy to know! ”

Looking at the fresh peach blossoms that exude a surging fragrance, and thinking that peach blossoms are a symbol of longevity, Mrs. Wang likes it more and more, and she is also happy in her heart, and the trace of unhappiness just now has long been left behind, so she took Baoyu's hand and smiled: "Early in the morning, your third aunt sent someone to deliver the news, and the emperor decreed that Wang Yi was appointed as a general of the forbidden army, and you can accompany me later." ”

Baoyu hurriedly asked, "Can the third cousin get out of bed?" ”

Mrs. Wang shook her head: "It's a cold day, thousands of miles away, even if you are not sick, you have to lie down for many days, not to mention that you have typhoid fever, and the doctor said that you should stay in bed for at least a month." ”

"Oh."

Baoyu nodded, and suddenly remembered the master and apprentice of Master Dingyi that he met when he entered the courtyard just now, and immediately said curiously: "I just saw Caixia leading two monks, when did the Mantou Nunnery have such a good person?" ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly smiled and said: "You Shaohun said, what is 'Mantou Nunnery', that is called Shuiyue Nunnery, be careful that the master knows about beating you." After speaking, he thought about it, and then said: "That's Master Dingyi of Muni Monastery and her apprentice Miaoyu, who I specially invited to talk about Buddhism. You're right, you're a good person, but it's a pity....."

Baoyu: "What's wrong?" ”

"I heard Zhou Ruijia say that the Dingyi master is too big and the limit is coming."

"It's a pity."

Baoyu scratched his head and muttered, "I don't have a master at such a young age, what should I do in the future....."

Mrs. Wang frowned and looked at Baoyu vigilantly.

Baoyu smiled awkwardly and said to Mrs. Wang: "I think their master and apprentice are not laymen, it will definitely be difficult to integrate into the world, without the protection of Master Dingyi, if Master Miaoyu wants to live, he can only give up himself and integrate into the world, so that there is one less vulgar person in the world, and one more filthy layman?" ”

Mrs. Wang pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry about this matter!" ”

Baoyu still wanted to speak, but Mrs. Wang: "Why haven't you seen your brother recently?" ”

"I don't know, he has been following Mrs. Jiao, and he has been elusive all day long, it seems that the third sister hasn't seen him for more than a month."

A glimmer of light flashed in Mrs. Wang's eyes, and then she glanced at the peach blossom again, and said gently, "Let's send it to the old lady." ”

Baoyu stood up awkwardly: "Send a bottle into the old lady first, and then enter another bottle to ..... with the wife"

Mrs. Wang stood up with a smile: "If you really grow up, it's right to do this!" ”

"Madam, the car is ready!" The curtain was lifted, and Jin Chu'er walked in.

"Let's go!" Mrs. Wang picked up the rosary on the eucalyptus table, pulled Baoyu and walked out, and instructed: "I know you don't like Wang Yi, but that is your only cousin, don't be unfamiliar." ”

Baoyu lowered her voice at this time and said to Mrs. Wang: "I heard from the third brother that my uncle's concubine in Mobei is pregnant, and she is almost five months old. ”

Madame Wang's face sank suddenly.

.............

"What is the master looking for me?"

Jia Jue handed the fishing rod to Tanchun and asked Wang Shanbao's family.

Wang Shanbao's family: "If you go back to the third master, the second master came back from the yamen and said that there was something." ”

After a pause, "The second master is also back, and they are all waiting for the third master in the master's study." ”

Jia Jue: "Oh? ”

Daiyu smiled: "Someone must have impeached you." ”

Jia Jue stood up awkwardly: "A group of sour people. The emperor is also yes, what to say depends on my face, when did my face become so good, and the eldest sister of Ming'er gave birth to the prince, I wrote to please be the prince...."

Daiyu was startled, grabbed Jia Jue's arm, and said in a low voice: "Be careful!" ”

Jia Jue stopped talking.

Lin Daiyu's gaze immediately swept to the big maids in the houses standing on the side: "What did Master Hou say just now?" ”

Xiangling, Zijuan, Si Qi, Shishu and the others immediately knelt down: "We didn't hear anything. ”

Daiyu said: "It's your blessing not to hear it!" ”

After a pause, "There are 200 pieces of cotton silk in the Korean gift list, and I will ask Mama Li to give each of you half a horse to make clothes in the evening." ”

"Thank you, girl!"

Daiyu nodded with satisfaction: "Do what you have to do, don't stand here." ”

"Yes."

The big maidens stood up, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know where to go for a while.

Jia Jue spoke: "There are a few carp in this bucket, you can send them to the kitchen and cook fish soup at night." Send one to the old lady, and by the way, one to my aunt's house. ”

"Thank you, third brother."

Baochai, who had been paying attention to the movement here, came over and thanked him.

"It's a minute!"

Jia Jue smiled and waved his hand, watching the figures of Zijuan and the others disappear behind the stone bridge, and sighed slightly, he didn't say it unscrupulously, but deliberately said it, in order to spread this sentence, because many people were waiting for this sentence, but Daiyu intervened sideways, and it was not easy for her to interrupt, which would affect her housekeeper. Suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Shanbao's house standing on the side, and his heart moved, he was a tool man again.

"I'll go first, you guys play slowly."

Jia Jue patted Daiyu's hand, signaled her to take care of Xichun, nodded to Baochai and the others, and led Wang Shanbao's family to Rongfu.

............

"What do you mean by my lord?"

Jia Lian put the tea bowl on the eucalyptus, glanced at Jia Zheng, who was flushed, and then said: "Since the ancient road, 'kissing and hiding', we don't ask him to cover up anything for the Jia family, but there is no need to fall into the ground!" ”

Jia Yu: "Do you want to invite the master of the in-laws?" ”

Jia Zheng also hesitated.

Suddenly, Jia Jue's voice came from outside the study: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal.....

Jia Yu and Jia Zheng were both stunned.

Pushing open the door of the study, Jia Jue walked in, and on the way to receive the news from the imperial city, because Sun Shaozu was only subjected to private law, although he said that he was introduced as a substitute for the dead ghost, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate was difficult to swallow this breath, and he knew that his strength was not enough, so he contacted the Hanlin Academy and the Qingliu of the Guozijian to prepare a public fold, but at the last moment was stopped by the Zuodu Yushi Meisheng, after some friendly consultation, the Qingliu who understood that his arms could not twist his thighs turned his guns to the only one who interceded for Sun Shaozu. It seems that after several bloody lessons, they already have a deep understanding of this emperor, this lord will kill!

It's just that I don't know what kind of crazy thing Li Shouzhong smoked, and he took the lead in writing a book to impeach himself!

Jia Jue politely greeted Jia Yu and Jia Zheng, and then sat down beside Jia Lian.

"You too, what are you doing to intercede for such a scumbag?!"

Jia Lian said with some dissatisfaction.

"He didn't kill people, besides, he is the younger generation that the master is optimistic about." Jia Jue's words are very sincere, whether they come from the heart or not, at least it is not a lie to Jia Zheng and Jia Lian.

When Jia Yu heard this, he laughed in his nose and said, "Come on, don't say such things again." Now that's what you say, what do you say? ”

Jia Jue waved his hand: "Let them make trouble, only when the trouble is big and the trouble is opened, will someone admit this feeling, otherwise my fold will not be in vain!" ”

The three people here are not fools, Jia Yu will not talk about it, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian have also experienced it in the past two years, and they all understand that the person in Jia Yu's words is the emperor and not Sun Shaozu.

Jia Lian was curious: "What's wrong?" ”

Jia Jue turned his head to look at him: "You want to know?" ”

“.....”

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, didn't dare to answer rashly, and replied after thinking about it: "If it involves a lot.... Forget it...."

Jia Zheng: "There's no need to tell us about you. ”

"It's fine." Jia Jue shook his head lightly, and then said, "The Jia family is now a real relative of the imperial family, so they need such kindness. ”

"What do you want to do?"

Jia Yu looked at Jia Jue solemnly.

Jia Jue turned his head and looked at him, wanting to prevaricate the past, but Jia Yu was not Jia Zheng, and was about to find a topic.

At this time, Wang Shanbao hurriedly walked to the door and reported: "Third master, the envoy of the DPRK is here, please go back." ”

Jia Jue: "I'll go now." He walked out.

Jia Yu let out a long sigh, leaned back in his chair, and looked out of the door in a daze.

Jia Zheng: "There is still something to do in the Yamen, so I'll leave first." He stood up and walked out.

Jia Lian also stood up: "Daxing's eucalyptus womb has begun to urge, and I won't come back tonight." After saying that, he bowed his waist and walked out.

Jia Yu pressed his temples vigorously.

..............

Shui Rong paced there with his hands behind his back: "It's not enough to find out the names of the officials accompanying the sacrifice, you must know who is responsible for the emperor's safety." Only in this way can the smooth implementation of the plan be ensured and the emperor will be dealt a heavy blow. ”

Butler: "There is news from the palace that Dongchang has suddenly sent additional personnel to the Shahe Palace, and even those miscellaneous eunuchs have been replaced, and the ban army will definitely increase at that time." ”

Chief of the guard: "We've all discussed, let's do it in Tianshou Palace." ”

Shui Rong walked to the door and stood still: "Do you know what's going on?" ”

Butler: "It should be what Dong Shan meant." ”

Chief of Guard: "That's right. This matter has not yet been passed down, and there is no possibility of leaking secrets. ”

Shui Rong paced back and forth rapidly, and said as he walked: "You say, will it be Jia Jue who is still responsible for the emperor's safety?" ”

The housekeeper nodded: "It is very likely that Jia Jue just carried the thunder for him, and handing over the safety to Jia Jue is a kind of trust and a reward, after all, being able to bring weapons to the emperor's side, except for the forbidden army, no one can do it." ”

Shui Rong stopped, and his eyes flashed: "If this is the case, the guard on the periphery of Shoushan that day will definitely be handed over to the forbidden army general named Sun Shaozu!" ”

The housekeeper was stunned at first, and then excited: "If this is the case, it will be much easier, this kid is a hungry ghost, control him, we can send more people into the Tianshou Mountain Palace." ”

Shui Soluble: "Good! That's it. Also, you go to see Zhu Dakang in person and tell him that this is the closest moment he is to the throne, and it is also his last chance. ”

After a pause, "Find a way to get some more explosives from the Hyogo Division." ”

The head of the guard hesitated for a moment and said, "At this time, it is easy to startle the snake. ”

Suzu: "Oh......" and sighed.

............

A thick strip of Chen was unfolded on the book board, Jia Jue, who was sitting in front of the book, was watching carefully, and Kim Zhiso, the head of North Korea, stood aside and held his breath, not daring to say anything.

Jia Jue finished reading the statement written by Kim Zhixiu, closed it gently, and pondered carefully.

Jin Zhixiu couldn't help it, and asked tentatively, "Master Hou....."

Jia Jue's eyes flashed: "Can you provide half a year's grain and grass for an army of 100,000?!" ”

Jin Zhixiu gritted his teeth: "Xiaguan will do his best, and he will definitely raise enough grain and grass." ”

"Don't lie to me." Jia Jue said: "Don't say that the 100,000 army, even the grain and grass of the 50,000 army can't be supplied by North Korea." ”

Jin Zhixiu was silent for a while: "Master Hou, please rest assured!" As soon as the heavenly soldiers step into the territory of North Korea, the grain and grass needed by the army will be supplied by North Korea, even if all the North Koreans are starved to death, there will not be a grain of rice grain left for the heavenly soldiers. ”

Jia Jue shook his head: "There have been large-scale floods in North Korea for two consecutive years, and many people have been forced to sell their farm tools, livestock, land and even their families to survive, while some have fled to other places. You can't even afford to feed yourselves, and you can still provide enough food and grass for the army? ”

This news is like a slap in the face, shaking Jin Zhixiu there, how did Marquis Zhongwu know about this matter?

Jin Zhixiu knelt down again: "The lower officials definitely have no intention of deliberately deceiving the suzerain, but they are just worried that His Majesty the Great Emperor will have concerns and postpone the dispatch of troops. Xia Guan dared to swear to the sky that he would do his best to raise food and grass for the army, and would never let the heavenly soldiers go to the battlefield hungry. Please Lord Hou for the sake of the lower officials' desire to save the people, forgive the lower officials, the lower officials are doing this in order to save the people of North Korea from the clutches of the Jurchens as soon as possible....."

Jia Jue sneered: "Eager to save the people? When did I say I was going to dispose of you? You keep saying that you will do your best to raise food and grass for the army, do you know how much rations the Ming soldiers need for a day? Do you know how much a Ming soldier is paid? You don't know anything! You just want to use the so-called righteousness to deceive the court into your lie, and you have a mouth of 100,000 Ming troops, have you ever thought about it, if you don't provide food and grass on time, what will happen to the army? ”

Kim Zhixiu raised her head and looked at Jia Jue with panicked eyes.

"To tell you the truth, don't say 100,000, it's 15 or 200,000, and my Ming Dynasty can send troops immediately. But where do you have a little bit of sincerity? That's your attitude?! ”

After speaking, Jia Jue waved his hand, "You go back and think about it and come back." ”

Kim Ji-so froze there.

Jia Jue shouted in a low voice: "Pull out!" ”

Hearing this, Jia Fu waved his hand and led four personal soldiers to run in.

Jin Zhixiu was so frightened that his face changed: "The lower officials don't dare..... Hou Ye, Hou Ye..... Listen to me....."

Jia Fu grabbed his back collar: "What are you talking about!" Let's go! "Dragged him out.

Jia Jue was still angry, and threw the note he wrote to the ground!
