Although Rehe is called Rehe, it is actually not hot at all. -This place has distinct but not very distinct four seasons, with cool summers and relatively warm winters. It is a rare blessed land on earth. There was the emperor's palace in Rehe. During the summer, he moved here to listen to government affairs, and the whole court took it with him. Emperors of all dynasties have made such arrangements, and the new emperor's ascension to the throne is no exception. Therefore, he sent people to make arrangements first and spend the whole summer at the summer resort. In autumn, there will be another Autumn Festival, just in time to practice the riding of the Eight Banners disciples. shoot'.
The arrangements were a bit urgent, and they sent someone to handle it just after the New Year. The new emperor had his own intentions. Rong Shi thought that there would at least be an accident like an ambush, but there was no such thing. Love rivals are the most difficult type of people to deal with in the world. They are itching to the teeth with hatred, but they cannot be punished to death in one go. If he were still the Prince of Yu, he would still be able to act recklessly, but now that he is the emperor, he would shrink from taking revenge in a narrow-minded way. So many pairs of eyes were watching, watching how the emperor squeezed people. Their beating at Buku Field was famous in the capital. When they fought, he could sense that he might not lose. He was just pretending to be injured just to cause trouble, and he had good intentions towards Songyin. But the higher a person climbs, the more taboos he has to avoid. Fame and fortune constrain his hands and feet. He must be a wise king and cannot be jealous of his ministers all day long. If you just look at his feelings for Songyin, it seems to come from the bottom of his heart. If one day he has no choice but to quit, he can rest assured. Since he truly loves her, he will definitely give her happiness.
But being happy doesn¡¯t necessarily mean you won¡¯t be wronged. Which queen in the past dynasties has not been wronged? The mother's love for the world means she has a broad mind, and the natal family should not hold it too high to avoid being suspected of being a relative's monopoly; the man will get half of the share, so as not to end up with the reputation of a jealous queen who is the exclusive favorite of the family. So what are the benefits of being a queen? When it comes to loving his wife, Rong Shi feels that he still has the upper hand. Song Yin can run rampant at home. If she wants him to die standing up, he will not die sitting down. Can it be done if the emperor changes? If you can't do it, just admit defeat and stop playing tricks.
He had been in Rehe for six or seven days, and he had almost finished all the errands he had to do. He got on his horse and ran around Mulan's paddock. This place has great scenery, including Dianjiang Terrace, Jiangjun Paozi, Shili Gallery, dotted with rivers and lakes, intertwined forests and grasslands, and it is a magnificent sight even in the winter.
He raised his whip and ordered, "When the deer is sent, surround the crossing, let the dogs chase, and drive the deer to the high ground. Now I am hunting beautifully. When the time comes, we will unite with other vassals. The Eight Banners can't defeat the Mongols. Long live it." My face is disgraceful."
The accompanying eunuch responded, "According to your order, General Paozi has demolished all the fences to the south. We are stocking up now and there will be more living creatures in autumn." After saying this, he made a flattering gesture and said, "Look at the flying things in the sky. It's the season." It¡¯s the time when black storks and golden eagles are easiest to catch. We didn¡¯t catch the storks last autumn, so we saved up all the stuff, so I sent someone to bring a net and catch two for me to play with.¡±
The Manchus were interested in making eagles and building birdcages, but he didn't like playing with them that much. He took the bow half-heartedly and saw several birds flying over in the sky. He drew the bow and shot. The arrow shot straight through the blue clouds. The birds that were flying gracefully were suddenly attacked and fell straight down. The 'service' guard rode his horse to pick it up and presented it to him. He glanced at it casually and saw that it was a bustard, "Is it stewed in soup or braised in braise?"
The eunuch was speechless for a moment, "This bird is heavy, has a lot of meat, and is good when braised in braise."
He looked down at the eunuch's waist, smiled inexplicably, turned his horse and went back to the villa.
It seems that the saying "a bird weighs a lot of meat" has become the butt of his joke again. The eunuch chased after him with a frown on his face, but he couldn't catch up. He was a good bowman and horseman, and his figure was like a rainbow, galloping across the wilderness and arriving at the other end in a blink of an eye.
Entering from the gate of the palace, Xu Zeqiu, the leader of the bodyguards below, came up to him. When no one was around, he whispered: "I have inquired about what you ordered me to inquire about. Gortay is a chamberlain." Commander Wei, he looked so straight on his face, but he had worn a pair of cotton trousers for six winters, and all the money he had saved was used up. It turns out that he has a bad gambling problem. When he returned to his mother for burial, when the coffin was about to leave, the creditors came to block the door and forced him to pay back the money. How could a good official do this? Those people even said they would go to Beijing to complain. , he will be finished if he stabs him in front of Long Live Lord. I remember that you and he are of the same age?"
He nodded, "It's from the first department. Have you found out how much I owe?"
Zeqiu said: "All the miscellaneous things add up to a total of more than fifteen thousand taels."
He chuckled, "You really can't live without anything. A penny can force a heroic man to death."
"No." Zeqiu glanced around and said, "There are eight thousand taels of usury in it. One tael today, three taels tomorrow, and five taels the next day. It's so profitable. Once you go in, you won't be able to get it out for the rest of your life." . If you want to win over him, now is the time, but whether you want to pay him or not, it¡¯s up to you to decide."
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, "There's no need to pay him back, it's too much"Look, the emperor is not a fool. After excluding the 8,000 taels of usury, there are still 7,000 taels left. At the end of the year, the money to support Lian will be more than this. Being an official here is not half as good as in Beijing. Otherwise, the annual ice ceremony and charcoal ceremony would be enough for him to endure. In this way, under the guise of being a holy driver to escape the summer heat and clean up the atmosphere, you led the troops to take down the shop where the game was played. Gortay is a smart man. He can't cure the symptoms but not the root cause. As long as he breaks the situation and takes a breath, he will be able to turn over. "
Zeqiu responded, "Then I'll take someone to do it tonight when it gets dark. Once it's cleaned up, it won't delay our schedule."
He nodded, "Don't let the news leak out. Those gangsters are clever. As soon as the news is revealed, they will all run away."
¡°Even though we have reached such a point of no return, we cannot afford to be beaten bare buttocks. He has been in the officialdom for so many years, and it is difficult to defeat a tiger with one fist. As long as the emperor came to Chengde, he would spend half of his time here every year. Gortay is the most direct executor of the entire palace's police force. A strong dragon cannot suppress local snakes. Even if there are imperial guards in the palace, in terms of quantity, the palace guards are much larger. many. Therefore, it is never wrong to build a good relationship with him, and it is also a means of self-defense at a critical moment.
Sometimes I feel helpless. My love rival is the emperor. If I don¡¯t have a rebellious heart, I will have to survive under other people¡¯s fingers in this life. The grudge between the Rong family and him was not entirely due to Song Yin. Fortunately, the great scholar Rong was popular and capable, and the civil and military ministers in the cabinet were basically on a united front with him. If the emperor wanted to deal with an important minister who not only had no faults but also had merit in compiling books, he had to predict what huge waves would be caused in the court. There are two masters, one is in charge of the upper study, back school, and sub-school; the other is the head of the bodyguard, in charge of the gate, the ceremony, and the retinue. He has nothing to do with money, food, and salt affairs, and he wants to get those big hats. You can't even suppress them. But the emperor, if he doesn't deal with anyone, he will be eliminated in the end.
He put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. The dusk was dark and almost dark.
Suddenly, I saw a blue-feathered guard coming from a distance, shouting as he walked: "Sir Rong, I got a good thing."
Rong Shi paused and watched. He had something in his arms and jumped up to him. Carefully unbuttoning his clothes for her to see, a little head was revealed, making a crisp sound like a cat. He was startled, "Leopard cub?"
There are a certain number of leopards in Mulan Paddock, but not many are giving birth in the middle of winter. He took off his big cloak and wrapped it up, and asked where it came from, "It's so small, I wonder if there is a full moon. I'm afraid it won't be able to feed a little leopard without a full moon, so just go back and call its mother 'nursing'."
The guard was a little embarrassed, "It was picked up by two young eunuchs who went to the paddock to hunt dead grass. I don't know if there is a nest. Besides, the little leopard has gained popularity and is afraid that the mother leopard will not recognize it. If it goes back, it will not be bitten to death. Or Stay!"
He lowered his head and caressed the melon seeds on the little head and wrapped it tightly, "We have to find a wet nurse for it. Go to the stable and bring a ewe."
The guards took the order and went to do it. Even though they are all grown men, they really care about raising these little animals. He carried the little leopard back to the check-in room like a baby and made a nest for it. He was afraid that it would be cold, so he had a pot of fire made to warm it. The leopard was so small that it shivered in the quilt and screamed one after another. He didn't mind it and squatted in front of it to take a closer look.
Someone outside the ¡®door¡¯ reported back and said, ¡°There is someone from the capital, please see Mr. Rong.¡±
He paused, but did not stand up. He casually let in and tucked the little leopard into bed.
Footsteps were heard at the 'door', and they came behind him and stopped there, without speaking for a long time. He frowned and said, "Did you bring an oral instruction?"
The man still remained silent. He threw his hands and stood up. He turned around and said, "Send a mute? Is there a secret purpose?"
The man in front of him was dressed like a young man, with a warm hat on his head and a fox scarf on his neck, covering half of his face. Wearing a crimson mandarin jacket and a pair of thick-soled riding boots, he stood up straight and was a little shorter than him. He didn't know who he was, but he didn't even hit him when he saw him.
He put his hands on his hips and looked again and again. The man finally raised his head, a pair of eyes as bright as stars shining straight into his heart. He was shocked, "Daughter-in-law?"
This cry made his hair stand on end, but he knew he had not mistakenly admitted the person. Songyin's eyes were cat-like, the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. He didn't believe there was another person like her in the world. If it were her, he would never call her sister again, she would be his biological daughter-in-law!
He hugged her regardless, "Is it you? Is it you?" Like digging for treasure, he pulled her face out and finally saw it clearly. She had already smiled like a flower, jumped up, hung it around his neck, snuggled up, and said softly: "Second brother, I have found you."
He was so happy that he almost screamed, never expecting that she would run away"Po' came so far to find him." Why is she so determined? He was moved and pleased. It seemed that she had identified him and would never change.
He hugged her hard, "Why are you here? God, I originally wanted to go back to the palace and jump over the wall to enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I didn't expect"
She said: "The palace is full of the emperor's people. You will fall into his eyes when you come here. There may not be his informants here, but I can't control that much. We haven't spoken for more than a month. I want to Suffocated to death.¡±
You can¡¯t speak when you meet, you can only communicate with your eyes. This kind of suffering is really difficult for people who love each other. She knew that it was a bold lie from the beginning when she pretended to be unconscious, but after careful consideration, even if the emperor wanted to accuse her, at least it was true that she came out of Concubine Shen's furnace, and her subsequent performance was hidden from everyone. As for what he did during his recuperation, the emperor seemed to have no control over it. There is no explicit order prohibiting a female official from marrying, and unlike the clan, she is not allowed to leave the capital. So even if she traveled across mountains and rivers to meet her sweetheart, the emperor would bring it to the table to criticize her, but she would not say anything.
"If you can't bear it anymore, don't bear it anymore. We don't owe him anything. Just because he likes it too, why do you force us to break up?" He was already so happy that he didn't want to think about the possible worries. He just wanted to be happy when he wanted to. With his mentality, he praised her very exaggeratedly, "Who is as capable as my wife? When the lady in Beijing was doing embroidery and playing the piano, my wife was running around with one person and one horse. Baili came to see me." He hugged her and spun around, "Good Songyin, you never let me worry about you. I have accumulated eight lifetimes of virtue when I met you."
Songyin smiled with an affectionate look, "If I live my life stupidly, maybe you won't be mine. Your cousin Yizhuang has been kicked out by the old lady, have you heard?"
He said that was good, "My wife never told me again about taking her as my concubine, otherwise I would just throw out their bedrolls. I stayed in the palace for two days and nights, and came directly to Rehe." I haven't been home yet, so I didn't know they were gone. They looked like they wanted to take root in the Rong family, and the old lady couldn't say anything because of her feelings, so why did they let them go so smoothly? "
She was embarrassed to say it, so she hesitated and said, "I just mentioned Yichen selling fake vinegar. The old lady was afraid of being implicated, so she asked them to leave the house and go out alone."
Rong Shi laughed and said, "Good people do bad things, this is what life is like. They are gone, it's quiet. Don't worry about our family, there are no parents in the world who can make trouble for their son, as long as they are gone If I don¡¯t let go, there¡¯s nothing they can do to me.¡±
She hummed, her cheek pressed tightly against the skin on his temples, and she smelled the fragrance of his collar, which was tranquil, rare and warm. Just hugging each other, the emotions in my heart are full of emotions, and they will overflow at the slightest hint. In the past, we had so many scruples that we didn't dare to go beyond them even if we were together. Now that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, we are tired of being together and never want to be separated again. She hung on him like an eggplant. He also indulged her, and the more intimate he was, the more he liked her. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, "Are you tired? I'll order the eunuch to clean up the house. You need to recuperate first."
Every moment she spent with him felt like it was stolen, and it was not enough. She turned around and said no, "It's still early."
He was a little embarrassed, "Why don't you stay here tonight?"
????????? In fact, they all have this meaning, that is, I am embarrassed, I feel that it is too forward-thinking, and I dare not imagine it. Songyin couldn't nod her head. She didn't want to be separated from him. If they could be together all night, they would have a lot more time together. But after all, there is no accurate score. It is just a verbal promise. It has not even been confirmed, and my heart is still hanging in the air. The girl's family didn't know whether to spend the night in the man's room. Even if she knew everything, she was still timid, fearing that she would be too frivolous and be looked down upon. She shook her head and said, "Sit down for a while. I'm here dressed up. If I stay here, I'll arouse people's suspicion. I'll tell you later that you let me cut off my sleeves."
He was quite open-minded, "That would be great, if no one dares to say we are kissing each other, we would all be relieved."
Songyin pursed her lips and smiled, and the cub in the box barked again. He was so busy talking that he actually forgot about it. Girls are especially fond of small animals such as cats and dogs. She knelt down and looked at it lovingly, lowering her hands and caressing it. "It's hard to feed a leopard cub after leaving your mother at such a young age. It's not as resistant to being beaten as a bear cub. What does it eat? Don't go hungry."
Rong Shi said: "We have already found a milk mother for it, and the same goes for drinking goat's milk. Do you like it? I would like to give it to you, but I'm afraid you are busy and don't have time to take care of it."
Songyin said yes, "Even if I have less sleep, I will bring it up well." When that furry mouth brushed against her palm, it was like grabbing a handful on her heart. She simply couldn't help it. Know how to hurt it.
At this time, the guard happened to bring the sheep over and called Master Rong at the foot of the steps. Rong Shi responded, "Tie it under the crabapple tree. You go ahead and I'll come right away."
Songyin looked through the window to see the person walking away, and went out with the box, but the little kid was too immature to get started. I lifted the box up, but it couldn't even find its vagina. It was just hunched over in the nest in a hurry.
"Hey, why is this happening!" She glanced at Rong Shi with a frown, "Can you help me?"
He grinned and said, "Is there ever a time when Mr. Tong can't take off the tweezers?" As he said that, he took it in with both hands and held up the little leopard like a treasure. When I handed it to the penis, it was probably hungry and panicked. It bumped against it several times, and finally "feeled" it in the right direction and took it in one bite.
Songyin squinted his eyes and his face was full of tenderness. Looking at his face, his concentration became more and more charming. Although the smell of mutton was nauseating, her heart jumped into her throat when she saw him standing across from him and looked up at her after a while.
How good it is, it just keeps going like this, there is no heavy color, only a touch of warmth. She was content to know that he was also whole-hearted.
He held the leopard in one hand and held her with the other, caressing the back of her hand with his thumb, and only now did he say, "Thank you for coming to me. I can't get away from you at this time. I can't see you every day, and my heart feels like it's burning." You blame me for being incompetent, I am always forced by the situation."
She said no, "We are all ordinary people when we work for people, and no one is the king of heaven. Ordinary people are beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. I know that you are not incompetent, but because you have to take care of too much. If we were free, Damn, what can't you do? Just because you have a big family behind you, you can't care about the life and death of your family members. You are a responsible person, and I can understand you no matter what you do."
Rong Shi nodded, Hyunran wanted to cry, "My daughter-in-law still loves me."
Songyin blushed. From the time he entered the house to now, his wife-in-law never left her mouth, and she was almost accurate and smooth. She avoided his gaze and said, "Don't call me that, it's embarrassing."
But he insisted, "Anyway, I have decided this time that you are my wife-in-law. Why don't you come all the way to see me?" He walked over and bumped her lightly, "You don't want me to?" ?¡±
Songyin's cheeks turned red, "I don't want you, why did you go to Rehe?"
He was so excited that he almost threw the little leopard away. Songyin snorted, "Be careful, don't knock it. Let's give it a name. What's it called?"
Rong Shi¡¯s head was confused, ¡°How about ¡®Hua¡¯? Full moon? ¡®Bridal¡¯ room? ¡®Hua¡¯ candle?¡±
Songyin was dumbfounded, "Shou De'Xing', what are you thinking! You look like you're so shy, so just call it face!"
The little leopard was so unlucky that he got an inexplicable name, Face Face.
Call it Lianlian or Zuizui, feed it, put it in the box, and still put it in front of the charcoal basin. Songyin's house was ready. He sent her back to the room, lingering in front of the door, "Are you going to sleep now? It's so easy to see each other. How about we talk for a while?"
Songyin looked up at the sky. It was already getting late, "Let's do it tomorrow. It's inconvenient in the middle of the night."
He looked very disappointed, and took back one of his legs that was stepping into the door, "That's OK."
He exited, Songyin closed the door, washed up and turned off the lights, but saw figures wandering in the courtyard outside, which made her feel funny. This person is always like a child, simple and stubborn, and there is nothing you can do about it. .
