The Honor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 20 After Drinking...

No matter how stupid Jia Rong is, she also understands that she was forced to run into something private. If she doesn't deal with it carefully, I'm afraid it will be a big disaster today!

Although the person talking to Shui Mu was wearing gray casual clothes, a black cloak and a hood, in Jia Rong's eyes, he still couldn't conceal his overly dignified status - the current Holy One!

Jia Rong had seen the emperor in both the examination room and the palace examination hall. Although she could not raise her head to observe unscrupulously, she still secretly remembered the emperor's true face. This emperor was only in his early thirties, handsome and handsome, with sharp eyes. When he was young and strong, he had concentrated all the power in his own hands in the first few years since he ascended the throne, and the fourteen or fifteen-year-old prince was almost a decoration, which was somewhat similar to the experience of the three generations of emperors Kang, Yong and Qian in the original history. Yu Kangxi's wrists are no less powerful than the two Yonggans, otherwise, after gathering power, they would not have given their ideas to the meritorious families that have been passed down for generations.

It's just that such an emperor, who can be called a hero, is talking to Shui Mu almost in a low voice at this moment, completely ignoring the vigorous and shrewd tactics in the court, which makes people feel extremely violated and weird.

But Shui Mu was obviously really angry, and pushed the man away, not even bothering to suppress his tone, "If you say you want to drive me away, then drive me away, if you want me to come back, you want me to come back, what do you want?" But I was only 13 years old at that time? Have you ever thought about how a deep palace prince can survive on the battlefield? I’m just a dog, and I can’t have my own temper? You still bring up those nasty thoughts now, do you think I’m a younger brother or Molested pet? If you are in a hurry, you just wiped me with a knife, and I will not bear that disgusting reputation if I go underground to meet the emperor!!!"

As Shui Mu said, he turned around and was about to leave. The man seemed anxious, and grabbed Shui Mu's arm, "Do you want me to swear to the ancestral tablet? Isn't it my heart to let you go out of Beijing? You go out of Beijing It's not like you didn't know the situation in Beijing that year. I couldn't spare you to protect you at that time. You didn't have a mother to protect you, and you didn't have the background of your grandfather's family. Are you afraid that loyalty and obedience will drag you into the water? Are you not afraid? I'm afraid, now that it's finally calmed down, what's wrong with me picking you up? What's wrong with you and me? Aren't we blood brothers? "

Shui Mu shook off his hand, raised his chin, and said mockingly, "Brother? I'm afraid that people will use my identity as the first son as a cover, so you can just say it straight. I swore that I would be a great general in my life, to solve your elder brother's worries and problems, and to protect the foundation of my Shui family's ancestors. You still have nothing to worry about. You hurriedly released my military power and put it under your nose. That's fine. Now, unexpectedly, unexpectedly... I also know that I am just a subject now, no matter what the emperor wants, I dare not disobey, but I will never be humiliated like that, if the emperor presses me every step of the way, I will not let you go Brother, the only thing left is death!"

After Shui Mu finished speaking, he no longer looked at the man's face, and walked away with an angry face. The man stood there for a while, and when Shui Mu's back disappeared, he sighed and walked slowly along the foot of the rockery, from the beginning to the end. However, no one noticed that Jia Rong was two feet away, listening to these words verbatim!

If the royal family goes out, there are not a few hidden guards who can't do it, but Jia Rong has martial arts and is cautious. When he saw Shui Mu, he subconsciously held his breath and lightened his steps. The emperor and Shui Mu's hidden guards were also negligent for a moment, never would have thought that there were such bold people in Shuimu Mansion, and none of them had discovered Jia Rong's whereabouts, even Jia Rong himself found it inconceivable!

But Jia Rong inadvertently pretended to be full of shocking secrets and went back to the banquet, drinking and talking with everyone as if nothing had happened. At this time, Liu Xianglian had long since disappeared, and asked the people around him. Clever, but winking and undignified, he looked anxious, "Where else can I go? When Brother Liu saw that beautiful official, his eyes were straightened. How could he be willing to hang out with us ugly people?"

Someone on the other side burst out laughing, and patted the shoulder of the person next to him and laughed, "You kid doesn't learn well, let's see if your father will beat you up? What do you mean we are ugly and shameless? Brother Liu dares to be friends with Qiguan, Are you jealous? If you are jealous, go find brother Liu, why drag us into trouble?"

Someone else laughed meaningfully, "Brother Liu, you really have a good eye. This handsome official, but he can't even support Prince Zhongshun, so he was hooked. It's really..."

Someone next to him patted the man on the back, stopping his words, and they chatted and laughed and changed the subject again. Jia Rong didn't care, knowing that with the friendship they had met for the first time, he would be able to treat him in front of him. Having said so much, I already have a good impression of him.

However, Qiguan?Is it the Qi official who exchanged sweat towels with Baoyu and caused Baoyu to be beaten?

At the end, the crowd dispersed, Zhao Mingtai was already drunk, and the table was full of subordinates brought back by Shui Mu, who had a relatively good relationship with Shui Mu and were not too restrained. But Jia Rong was left alone, who had just met Liu Xianglian at the same table, and had just been colleagues at the other table, so he was left alone, and was about to ride back when he saw a young servant rushing towards him and stopped in front of him , respectfully.

"Hello, Mr. Jia, the villain is ordered by the prince, please come in and reminisce about the old days."

Uh, catch up on the old days?

Jia Rong stroked her chin, and suddenly remembered their interesting conversation in the wine shop last time, and remembered all that she had heard today, she suddenly bent her eyes and smiled.

"Since the prince has an invitation, the lower officials dare not neglect, so I ask my brother to lead the way."

Jia Rong followed the young man into the back hall, and when they came to a room, the young man stopped and only let Jia Rong in. When he opened the door, he saw Shui Mu lying lazily on the couch, holding a The jug of wine was pouring into his mouth, he hurriedly closed the door, snatched it away, Shui Mu was caught off guard, and was snatched away by him, opened his hazy eyes full of water, and saw Jia Rong looking at him with a half-smile , I can't help thinking that when the two first met, Jia Rong also had such a half-smile expression, which was very unpredictable, but he couldn't help being attracted. After all, Jia Rong was the first in his life to hand over Those who don't know his identity are still willing to regard him as a bosom friend.

"What are you doing? Didn't you drink enough at the banquet?"

Jia Rong threw down the jug, and without Shui Mu saying hello, she pulled a chair and sat beside him with her legs crossed. Shui Mu laughed angrily when she saw how rude he was.

"It's getting more and more rude! You don't treat yourself as a guest at all, do you behave like this everywhere? Don't be afraid that people will say that Jia's family has no tutor!"

Jia Rong didn't care, anyway, knowing that this person is usually very tongue-in-cheek, and now he even dared to scold the emperor, he felt much more balanced, "You called me, didn't you just want me to respectfully call you 'Prince'?" ? If you call me like this, you will feel comfortable, and it's worth my appearance!"

Shui Mu choked again. He was the youngest son of the royal family who was raised in the palm of his hand since he was a child. He was the most beloved child of the previous emperor. The year-old prince was forced into the palace, and his elder brother sent him to the frontier. Under the tempering of the difficult environment, he really began to grow up. He always thought that he had completely worn away the arrogant temper and heart of the past. Facing colleagues and subordinates in the army, or facing flattering court officials, they can be neither happy nor angry, and have a stable mood, but when facing Jia Rong, for some reason, they still can't control their temper. It seems to have a feeling, knowing that the person opposite can let go and tolerate oneself to open the shell of bitter repression, and release all the dissatisfaction, anger and depression.

Jia Rong raised her eyes and glanced at someone who was silent, thinking that she wouldn't be depressed by what she said?Thinking about what happened to him today, I'm afraid he was looking for someone to express himself. After thinking about it, he took two tea cups from the table, filled them with wine, stuffed one cup into Shui Mu's hand, and held the cups towards him. Touched, "Since you are unhappy, I won't ask you why. We can't help you otherwise, so let's have a drink with you. If you get drunk, maybe you will forget about it!"

Shui Mu smiled, and squinted at him, "How can one cup be enough? If you want to drink, you will get drunk!!"

Jia Rong raised her eyebrows, and suddenly remembered the month she spent with this boy in Yangzhou. The boy's wine quality was really unflattering, and now he still wants to get drunk?He was about to laugh at it, but caught the pain and depression in Shui Mu's eyes, so he couldn't help but change his words, "When you're drunk, you're drunk, who's afraid of whom?"

Just accompany him through this hurdle, who hasn't been sad yet?
