dream of red mansion

"Grandpa Jia, please look, this is the last gate of the capital. After passing this pass, you will be able to reach the capital with a horse. If you ride fast, you can reach the capital in just two days!"

Zhao Donglai is the newly promoted commander of Beizhen Fusi, and he is also the highest commander of the two thousand Jinyi Army Tiqi in the wedding team.

When he and Jia Qing went to the south of the Yangtze River, he was just a white householder, but now he is one of the few commanders in the entire Jinyi Army.

Judging from this promotion speed alone, it is also known that he is not an idler.

Jia Qing was on the horse, looking up at the majestic pass that was said to have not been broken once in a century.

Wei Wei is majestic, about ten feet high, and a natural moat stretching five or six miles wide lies in front of him.From a distance, it looks like a huge dragon straddling in front of you, which is daunting.

Jia Qing nodded.Such a strong pass can indeed prevent the opponent's cavalry from raiding.

"Longcheng Pass was ordered to be built during the reign of Emperor Taizu. There are towering mountains on both sides and overlapping emerald barriers. If there are large groups of cavalry, they must pass through this pass!

If you want to make a detour, at least it will take an extra month of travel, and you can't maintain the impact of the large cavalry, so you can only score and disperse.

And once the cavalry is scattered on the mountain trails, it is not even as good as the infantry. It only needs a little ambushes to kill the enemy.

Over the past hundred years, I have relied on this pass, and I don't know how many foreigners in the north have been discouraged! "

Zhao Donglai seemed quite proud of this pass.

Jia Qing didn't say much, he believed that no matter how high the city wall is, it needs capable people to guard it.Breakthrough, many times does not necessarily require a strong attack.

The best way is to kill all the enemies outside the pass before others reach the pass.

"Go, get out!"

......

In the capital city, within the small courtyard of the Xue family.

Xue Pan complained in a mournful voice: "It is said that women have long hair and short-sightedness, but you still don't believe what you see with your own eyes, and you want to rush to play around with him!

It's all right now, it's only been half a month, and the food in the capital has dropped by [-]%!

In the days to come, there is still time to fall!

The white money, just like this was ruined by you, my mother, you are trying to kill me! "

Aunt Xue and Baochai were both present, and they were silent at this moment.

Seeing Xue Pan's mourning sound getting louder and louder, Aunt Xue finally couldn't help but said: "Brother Qing, is there still no movement?"

"What can he do? He is not in the capital now. Maybe he has forgotten about it. This goddamn prodigal bastard married his sister to him. Our Xue family really poured blood for eight lifetimes." It's mold." Seeing Aunt Xue's face finally breaking down, Xue Pan became even more imposing.

"Otherwise, if we go to get back that IOU, at least we can get back the money, or if we go on like this, we will definitely lose everything.

His Ningguo family has a great career, and he likes to make troubles, so let him make troubles! "

The more Xue Pan thought about it, the more he felt that he could only do this. Anyway, Jia Yun was in charge of the house now.A junior, Liang dare not refuse him.

"Stop, if you dare to go today, I will treat you as my brother!"

Baochai scolded Xue Pan with a coquettish shout.Xue Pan turned around and said, "My dear sister, you haven't married yet, and you've started caring only about him, regardless of our Xue family's life?"

"You! There is a reason for everything. It was originally a matter discussed by the two families. If you didn't agree in advance, no one can say anything about you. Now that you are so treacherous, how will others treat our family in the future?"

After Baochai said this to Xue Pan, she immediately threw herself into Aunt Xue's arms, almost crying, "If Mom couldn't trust him, why did she marry her daughter to him in the first place? It was because of the brother breaking the promise last time, or His daughter asked him for a good word of advice and he agreed to turn it over. If my brother just made a fuss like this today, even if his daughter is married in the future, what face would he have? I beg my mother to take pity on her daughter, and don't let my brother be messed up... ..”

Seeing her daughter like this, Aunt Xue is also worried.

With the current situation, not to mention Xue Pan, even she couldn't sit still.

This is not a matter of hundreds or thousands of taels of silver, but tens of thousands of taels. If it is paid out at once, it will be a big deal for the Xue family. Can she not treat it cautiously?

"What is the use of holding so much food in his hand? Has he discussed this with you?"

Asked by Aunt Xue, Baochai shook her head.

"Oh~" Aunt Xue sighed, not knowing what to do.

"Mother~" Xue Pan shouted.

"Shut up! Do you really want to ruin your sister's happiness with your own hands?"

"But that's 10 taels of silver..."

"Wait, wait..."

......

You Shi took Qin Shi to go to Jia Mu's place to ask Ann to speak.

You's eyes were sharp, when he was about to get into the carriage, he saw Ling'er returning home with her maid in a secret manner, and said to Qin after getting into the carriage.

Qin said: "It doesn't matter what she does so much, she can do whatever she likes."

Youshi shook his head: "No matter what, you are still Brother Rong's wife, and sometimes you should use the grandma's money to control her. I heard that Brother Rong is obedient to her now, even taking his yard The maids and servants in the house only have her in their eyes. If this continues, there will be more and more gossip in the house..."

You Shi originally said this because of Qin Shi's consideration, but Qin Shi actually giggled and said: "Mother-in-law, did you say that on purpose because she was afraid that your daughter-in-law would rob you of your second uncle?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

You Shi stretched out his hand to hit her, but Qin Shi was not afraid, instead he raised his face to make it easier for her to strike.

"If you hit me, when the second uncle comes back, I'll tell him that you hit me because you were jealous of me. It's time to see whether my nephew and daughter-in-law are more important in his heart or your sister-in-law!"

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become very close after two years of running-in.You Shi is very clear about the twists and turns between Jia Qing and Qin Shi.As for Qin Shi, she also always thought that there must be something between You Shi and Jia Qing, otherwise, why would Jia Qing let You Shi firmly hold the power of housekeeper, and even she is just an "assistant"?She has also been trying to catch her, but unfortunately she has never been caught.

You Shi looked at Qin Shi in astonishment, and after a long time cursed: "You shameless little hoof..."

After a while, they arrived at Rongguo Mansion. The two went to greet Jia Mu first, and then heard that Wang Xifeng was ill. Qin was worried, so she went directly to Wang Xifeng's courtyard.

Wang Xifeng's yard was deserted.

After entering the house, I found that there were quite a few people waiting inside.

Wang Xifeng seemed very happy to see Mrs. Qin coming, and sent out all the extra maids, and dragged her to talk.

Qin asked: "Why are you sick?"

Wang Xifeng faltered and refused to speak.Ping'er came over with tea and said by the way: "My grandma hasn't been able to sleep well for several days, and she often wakes up in the middle of the night dreaming. Please tell the doctor that it is caused by yin deficiency and fire, imbalance of qi and blood, rising heart fire, and night sweats."

After hearing this, Qin suddenly said, "Where's Uncle Lian?"

"The emperor organized the civil and military officials in Beijing to conduct winter hunting, and he followed suit. It has been about two days."
