Jiazhu of the Red Chamber

The mountains and rivers in Zhongshu are beautiful, and the scenery is different from that of Kyoto. Jia Zhu goes to the county government office on weekdays, and walks around in his spare time. He is not burdened by family trivial matters, and he is not bound by etiquette and norms. Jia Zhu just feels indescribably at ease .

He would receive a letter from Zhong Congyu every two days, and he would not open it, and put it neatly in the box, and naturally he would not reply to the letter. Since he had decided to leave, there was no need to continue to be involved.He thought that if he didn't get a reply from himself, Zhong Congyu would gradually lose his heart.

Within ten days and a half months, I would also receive letters from Jia Zheng's family, which were nothing more than instructions to be loyal to the country, love the people, and do business with heart.

In a letter from home in mid-March, Jia Zheng said that Yuan Chun was elected to the palace at the beginning of the month, and there was a lot of relief in the letter.

Jia Zhu had been mentally prepared for a long time, but the letter in black and white was placed in front of him, and he was inevitably saddened.

After Jia Zheng's letter from home, Zhong Congyu's letter suddenly stopped. Jia Zhu was relieved but also felt bitter. He thought that the deep-seated affection would not be worth the difference of two months.At the same time, he was grateful for his decision, how good it is now, everyone got what they wanted.

After another half month, the county government office received a document from the government government office, saying that the central government had sent a high-level official to be the prime minister for border government affairs, and officials above rank nine had an audience.Jia Zhu happened to be of the eighth rank, so he was also included in the audience.

It turned out that the south of central Shu was under the jurisdiction of the King of Lingnan. Although the King of Lingnan said he was subject to the current dynasty, he only paid tribute every year and had administrative and economic autonomy.Therefore, the military defense of the Sichuan government is particularly important, and many important officials from Kyoto are sent to supervise and supervise, also known as Jiedu envoys.

Ordinarily, this Jiedushi is a good errand, but all the officials in the capital are afraid of it, because the King of Lingnan is not as obedient as other dependent countries, and often causes riots.The Lingnan Mountains are dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although the imperial court sent troops to conquer several times, they all failed. In the end, they had to send heavy troops to guard the border to prevent invasion.Therefore, this Jiedu envoy in the middle of Sichuan is really a thankless job, and if he is not careful, he will lose his life, but I don't know who offended the emperor this time and was sent here.

Jia Zhu wore official uniform and waited in the governor's office with all the officials. He saw a man wearing a four-clawed white python robe and a silver cap with two dragons playing with pearls on his head.

With a smile on his face, he exchanged greetings with all the officials, and at the banquet in the evening, he ordered Jia Zhu to sit next to him alone.

After the banquet, Shui Rong left Jia Zhu in the Jiedu envoy's mansion, and when there were only two of them left in the room, Shui Rong took his hand and said softly, "You came to this border without saying a word, but you can take me I was so worried, I asked Uncle Shi carefully, and I found out that it was your own idea. At first, I didn't understand, you and the emperor have a strong relationship, why would you make such a proposal suddenly, and then I saw your sister was elected to the palace, so I thought Understand the relationship. Jia Zhu, if you still treat me as a friend, you must not hide this decision from me next time."

Since falling in love with Zhong Congyu, Jia Zhu has been estranged from Shui Rong a lot, and rarely sees each other. Although there are reasons for each, Jia Zhu always thinks that losing a good friend of Shui Rong is not worth it. With Zhong Congyu in the middle, he really can't think of a good way ease.Now seeing the sincerity of Shui Rong's words, he said with emotion, "I didn't intend to hide it from you, but I was afraid that you would be involved, so I came here quietly. Don't blame me. Why were you demoted to Sichuan?" Dao, with the title of Prince of Water Dissolution, came to this border to be a Jiedu envoy, and he must have offended Zhong Congyu in the capital, so he was demoted here.

Unexpectedly, Shui Rong smiled and said, "I'm the same as you, I also invited myself here."

Jia Zhu asked, "Why?"

Shui Rong said: "Of course it's for you. If you're not in the capital, it would be boring for me to stay there. I wandered here for a few days and found that you really picked a good place. The sky is high here and the emperor is far away. He wants to control us." It doesn't matter either."

Jia Zhu persuaded: "Why are you doing this? If you don't want to be a good prince, aren't you afraid that if you stay here for a few years, you won't have a foothold when you go back?"

The water-soluble complexion turned to the vagina: "Do you think I have a foothold now? It's just that he is still fledgling, and I am still useful. Today I demote myself before he makes a move, just to reassure him. I can Save one life, but remove the thorn in his side, the best of both worlds, wouldn't it be better for everyone?"

Although Jia Zhu wanted to break up with Zhong Congyu, but hearing Shui Rong say that about him, he felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't help defending him: "He is not such a person, he has always valued your talent."

Shui Rong stopped him and said: "Forget it, since you and I have arrived here, we won't mention anything about the capital. I have transferred you to the Jiedushi's yamen, and we will live together in the future, so we can take care of you."

Jia Zhu followed suit, and went back to Mount Lushan, handed over the documents in hand, packed up the salutes, and lived in the Jiedu Ambassador's mansion.

In private, he heard from Shui Rong's boy that in this palace draft, the Empress Dowager pointed out a lady from a family to Shui Rong, who was married before leaving, and said that Princess Beijing was dignified and elegant. He was also persuaded by the princess in a few words.

Jia Zhu secretly wondered why Shui Rong invited him to this remote place not long after he got married. He already regarded Shui Rong as a confidant, so he asked why, but Shui Rong just smiled and said, "I planned to come here, how could I change my mind because of her?" .” Not much else to say.

Shui Rong brought a lot of servants from the capital, and in a few days, he organized the Jiedu Mansion to be elegant and beautiful, and he also had his own cook.

Come, the taste is no different from that of Kyoto, and it means living here forever.

Of course, he will not be sloppy in official affairs. He takes Jia Zhu to patrol the border defense every day, and asks about local customs, climate characteristics, etc., discusses defensive policies with the generals guarding the border, checks the information after returning, and discusses with the officials under his command to strengthen the army. Every time Jia Zhu listened to the way of enriching the people, he felt that he benefited a lot.

After more than half a year like this, all the soldiers and civilians in central Shu knew that the virtuous king had come, and they all said that the court was a sage, and they did not forget the frontier.

Because of Jia Zhu's close relationship with Shui Rong, some gossip from officials under Shui Rong's command occasionally spread, and for some reason, it spread to the capital. People dare to say that Zhong Congyu guarded him in Rongguo Mansion for three days, and Jia Zheng and others dared not ask.But he and Shui Rong are just confidantes of each other, but it's really ridiculous to be falsely accused of being like this.

Since he was magnanimous in his heart, he didn't take these words to heart, and only wrote back to Jia Zheng to explain. Whether Jia Zheng believed it or not, he didn't want to think about it.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng replied that he had hired Li Wan, the daughter of Li Shouzhong, the daughter of Li Shouzhong, the Imperial College Jijiu. To marry Jia Lian.

Jia Zhu told Shui Rong about the content of the letter, and he thought he would sympathize, but Shui Rong laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up, he praised Jia Zheng's good idea, and said that Li Shouzhong would be satisfied with the marriage.

Jia Zhu thought about the scene of listening to Li Shouzhong's lecture in the mansion that day, and also found it funny, and thought that since marriage could not be avoided, Li Shouzhong's family has a long history, and his family's young lady must be a well-educated, well-educated person. woman.

Although he couldn't let go of Zhong Congyu in his heart, he hadn't received a letter from Zhong Congyu for nearly a year, thinking that they would get married, and the relationship would be over.

If you want to know what is going on, listen to the next breakdown.
