After everyone talked, the eldest princess of Jinyang withdrew her hazy eyes like mist and dew, and said in a round and round voice like beads falling on a jade plate: "Lianxue, take Miss Yuanchun to introduce the accounts."
Lianxue responded, stepped forward and said, "Miss Yuanchun, come with me."
Yuan Chun subconsciously looked at Jia Heng, and when he saw the young man smiling at him and nodding, he calmed down and followed Lianxue out of the inner hall.
After the two left, the eldest princess of Jinyang regained her dignity and beauty, and her voice even sounded a bit cold as she said, "General Yunhui has come to Youfeng to come to Yi Pavilion. I have something to tell you about."
With that said, he ignored Jia Heng and led several maids directly towards the inner room.
Jia Heng's expression paused, he put down the tea cup, and followed the beauty towards the attic.
"Your Highness, I have something to do." As soon as Jia Heng went to the second floor of the attic, before he could sit down, he saw that the eldest princess of Jinyang had already said goodbye to the maidservant.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw a beautiful woman in a peach-red skirt and high-waisted temples walking towards him. With the fragrance fragrant in his nostrils, the warm and fragrant nephrite came forward, and two lotus-root arms had already climbed up on his shoulders.
"Your Highness... um."
Just as Jia Heng was about to speak, he felt a breath of orchid coming closer, and his soft lips had touched, as warm as fire, as if he wanted to drown himself, so he wisely blocked the second half of his words.
Jia Heng felt strange in his heart, and for a moment he even felt like roles had been reversed.
There was no time to think about this, it was already Xiangjin Crossing, Luo Shang was untied lightly, a beautifully embroidered silk belt fell gently to the ground, and the clothes of two people fell on the red carpet. The two walked into an embroidered couch in the inner room.
Jia Heng finally took advantage of the gap, put his arms around the soft waist, brought it close to his ear, and asked: "Your Highness, the little princess is not here today..."
"I have let her enter the palace." Princess Jinyang said softly, her cheeks as red as blood, her hands wrapped around Jia Heng's neck, looking at the young man with a clear face, the moisture in her beautiful eyes seemed to be It just drips out.
Jia Heng: "..."
No more words, just hold two shiny peach blossoms close to comfort a lonely and unbearable heart.
The curtain fell, they hugged each other tightly, their fingers intertwined.
Not long after, I heard the strong wind and rain, and the gentle and charming voice sounded like needles piercing bones.
On the other side, Yuanchun followed Lianxue to the study. Under Lingxue's reception, he sat down behind a mahogany desk.
Lianxue handed over a blue book and said with a chuckle: "Miss Yuanchun, these are the accounts of Dongcheng's business. They will be delivered about once every half month. Miss Yuanchun can check the records. Of course, if Miss Yuanchun wants to go to the shop in person, When visiting, you can also ask the maid, and the mansion will prepare a carriage and guards to escort the girl to the shop to check."
Yuan Chun's eyebrows were gentle and he said softly: "I have mercy on Miss Xue."
Lianxue said: "Miss Yuanchun, please look at the account books first. If there is anything unclear, you can ask me at any time."
Yuanchun nodded, picked up an account book, and started to read it briefly. It recorded the various expenses and revenue of Jia Heng's shop in the past two months.
Yuanchun had been in charge of affairs in Kunning Palace in the past, so it was not difficult for him to check the account books.
When he encountered any doubts, he asked Lianxue.
Lianxue answered one by one.
Yuanchun asked: "Which shopkeeper made this account book? It looks very organized."
"Yun Hui's business is now in the care of Her Royal Highness the Princess." Lianxue explained.
When Yuan Chun heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he thought to himself, it seems that Hengdi has a close relationship with the eldest princess, and he also trusts the eldest princess very much.
Lianxue seemed to understand Yuanchun's thoughts and said: "Our Highness has many properties in his name and usually does not pay much attention to specific affairs. After Miss Yuanchun gets familiar with it, if she is willing, she can do more work."
Yuanchun said hurriedly: "I haven't taken care of many general affairs in the past, but I have tried my best to do these, and I am worried that I will not be able to do it."
Lianxue nodded and said nothing else.
Time passed unconsciously in the conversation between the two of them.
In the evening, in the attic, a ray of setting sun passed through the window, fell on the sandalwood engraved bookshelf, and shone on the screen embroidered with red peonies. The peony stamens were delicate and unprovoked, reflecting two figures.
Jia Heng had already bathed and was sitting at a round table, sipping tea and reading a book.
The book is a commentary on the meaning of the scriptures, which he likes to read in his spare time recently.
"Ziyu..."
However, whenever you want to study hard, there is always someone influencing you.
Jia Heng had no choice but to put down the book in his hand, looked back at the beautiful lady with bright cheeks, who was dressing up in the mirror, and said, "What's wrong?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang snorted and said with an inexplicable meaning: "Why do I feel more and more that you are asking me to hide your beauty in the golden house for you?"
Maybe she has skin-to-skin contact, and has a better understanding of someone's nature, and the beauty's words are less taboo.
"She and I are of the same race." Jia Heng frowned and continued to read with his eyes down.
The eldest princess of Jinyang chuckled lightly, disapproving in her heart, not to mention that she was of the same clan, but of the same clan, so what the heck, she said, "Did I remember to give out the fifth server?"
Jia Heng didn't answer, took a sip from the tea cup, and looked up at the sunset outside the window.
"Come here, give me a hairpin." Princess Jinyang refused to let Jia Heng go, looked in the mirror, put on a pair of jade earrings, and said softly.
Jia Heng put down the teacup, walked close enough to stand behind the beauty, picked up a phoenix hairpin, held it between his lush temples, and asked, "Where is the hairpin?"
"A little lower." Princess Jinyang paused slightly and said angrily.
She suspected that the bastard did it on purpose.
He had no choice but to stretch out his slender hand, hold the hosta, and support it.
After doing this, he still felt angry and pinched Jia Heng's hand angrily.
Jia Heng smiled and thought, Jinyang is still very traditional sometimes and needs to be discovered.
"It's almost dark, why are you still putting on makeup?" Jia Heng asked again.
The eldest princess of Jinyang picked up the rouge paper and printed it on it. Her red lips were as bright as roses and she said softly: "I'm going to invite your elder sister Yuanchun to a dinner later. How can I do it without being more solemn?"
After saying that, Yingying stood up. The beauty, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and as beautiful as spring flowers and autumn moon, smiled and said: "Isn't this dress pretty?"
Looking at the beauty, Jia Heng's eyes were a little distracted for a moment. He hugged the graceful and beautiful beauty from behind and joked: "Your Highness looks good in anything he wears... Of course, he looks better without any clothes on."
Princess Jinyang's cheeks turned red with embarrassment and her heart trembled. She rolled her eyes at Jia Heng and scolded: "You are a slut, hey... don't wrinkle your skirt again."
As he spoke, he pushed away a pair of hands that were climbing dangerous peaks.
She found that this man had a soft spot for this place, like a child.
At this time, Jia Heng stopped clinging to her. He was just teasing the beauty and had no intention of rekindling the war.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "Over the Qinling Mountains in the Xiyuan of Chang'an, I have a villa with a hot spring pool. If you have time, you can come with me to take a bath in the warm water."
Jia Heng held Li Ren's hand and said, "Let's talk about it. I have been busy with affairs in the Beijing camp recently."
Princess Jinyang sighed quietly.
Just as the two were talking, Lianxue suddenly called from outside the screen: "Your Highness, the dinner is ready, please move forward."
The eldest princess of Jinyang let go of Jia Heng's hand, regained her graceful and majestic appearance, and said, "Okay, let's go."
Jia Heng didn't say much.
While the two were talking, they headed towards the inner hall.
At this moment, Yuan Chun was sitting at the side table. He raised his eyes and saw a man and a woman coming hand in hand. Yu Rong paused, even in a trance.
I saw the man's tall and straight body, as plump as jade, like the orchid and jade tree, and the woman's gorgeous dress, as beautiful and fragrant as the peony, charming and moving.
I don't know why, but there was something strange in my heart, but I didn't have time to think about it. I quickly stood up and saluted and said, "I have met His Highness Jinyang."
The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled softly, the charming charm flowing from the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, even Yuan Chun was lost for a moment.
"Miss Yuanchun doesn't need to be polite."
While talking, he sat down.
Jia Heng sat next to Yuan Chun, looking at the girl beside him with gentle eyes, and said: "Sister, I just looked at the account books, but I'm still used to it."
Yuanchun said softly: "After reading some, those shops in Dongcheng are all very good businesses."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "I'll have to trouble my eldest sister in the future."
The two siblings were talking, while the eldest princess of Jinyang not far away watched quietly, with a smile like a flower, and a look of affection, but amusement gradually emerged in her heart.
Are there siblings of the same race who are so considerate and caring?
Jia Heng then said again: "Sister, you might as well stay here tonight. I'll call Baoqin over tomorrow."
Baoqin is Yuanchun's personal maid. She and Yuanchun are called master and servant, but they are actually sisters.
Princess Jinyang smiled and said, "Lianxue, send a few maids to serve Miss Yuanchun, don't neglect her."
Lianxue responded with a yes.
A few people chatted, finished dinner, and drank tea.
The eldest princess of Jinyang chuckled and said: "I heard that Miss Yuanchun is good at playing the piano. I wonder if I have the ear to hear the sounds of nature?"
Yuan Chun glanced at Jia Heng secretly and said softly: "I just have a brief knowledge of piano music. If Your Highness is interested, is there a piano instrument here?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled and said: "We have all kinds of musical instruments such as harp, zither, and pipa. I wonder which one Miss Yuanchun needs?"
Yuanchun thought for a while and said softly: "Just go with the zheng."
Princess Jinyang looked at the maid aside and signaled with her eyes.
Then, the maid carried a red sandalwood and pear-colored guzheng to the inner hall and placed it. Someone else prepared a gold basin of water, towels and silk handkerchiefs, sandalwood incense sticks, and fragrant tea cups.
The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled and said: "In my spare time, I often play the piano to entertain myself, so I always have piano instruments at home, so Miss Yuanchun can show off her unique skills."
Yuan Chun smiled, stood up and bowed to the eldest princess of Jinyang, cleaned his hands and burned incense, and sat down behind the piano stand.
"Ding dong" the piano sounds sounded one after another, and a broad and far-reaching artistic conception spread silently.
Jia Heng sat upright, listening to the music, with a look of trance on his face.
Looking at the girl sitting on the floor with her eyes lowered and playing the zither, under her eyebrows, she had a plump, white face full of concentration, and her ten green-white fingers were as nimble as butterflies, playing the strings on the zither.
Suddenly, the song ends, and the bright eyes full of autumn water are raised.
Princess Jinyang's beautiful face paused slightly and said: "Happy but not obscene, sad but not sad, I can't stop listening to you after walking around the beam for three days."
Yuan Chun stood up from his seat, looked at Princess Jinyang a little shyly, and said softly: "I am showing my shame in front of His Highness."
Princess Jinyang turned to look at Jia Heng, her eyes filled with charm, and said, "What do you think of Ziyu?"
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Chun couldn't help but look at Jia Heng, and his heart couldn't help but feel anxious.
Jia Heng said: "Eldest sister takes the music of the piano as her heartfelt voice. This song, Autumn Moon in the Han Palace, is sad and melancholy, and it is appropriate."
He learned guitar and music theory in his previous life, and then learned about other instruments along the way, so he didn't know everything.
Yuan Chun sighed softly and said softly: "I was feeling nostalgic for a moment, and sighing with sadness for spring and sadness for autumn has disturbed Brother Heng's interest."
In fact, just after I finished playing, I felt that the selected piece was too sad.
Jia Heng's eyes were warm and he said softly: "It doesn't matter."
Yuanchun nodded.
The eldest princess of Jinyang chuckled, and then came to sit beside the guzheng. This beauty was dressed in a gorgeous dress, with a jade face and a focused look. She lowered her head and picked up the strings. The sound of the piano came back, and she played the song "Three Plum Blossoms". He was just playing, and from time to time his beautiful eyes would look at Jia Heng.
Jia Heng's expression paused, he picked up the tea cup, lowered his head and took a sip.
Secretly, he could hold on even if he played "House of Flying Daggers".
On the other side of the room, Yuan Chun also listened attentively, looking at the dignified, gorgeous and stunning beauty, with a bit of amazement shining in his eyes.
…
…
Time flies, and before you know it, five days have passed.
Jia Heng traveled between Ningguo Mansion, Jingying, Wucheng Bingmasi, and Jinyang Princess Mansion, and his itinerary was intensive and fulfilling.
As for the reorganization of the 12th Regiment Camp in Beijing, it was promoted in an orderly manner under the auspices of Li Zan and Jia Heng, Ministers of the Ministry of War.
At first, Wang Ziteng only initially reorganized the Fenwu, Daoyong, Shewei, Guyong, and Yaowu camps, but the remaining seven camps had not yet been investigated.
Li Zan and Jia Heng also began to rectify the corrupt generals of the remaining seven battalions. First, they investigated the severely corrupt generals of the regiment and camp.
At Jia Heng's suggestion, combined with the general information provided by the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, and using Jinyi Mansion detectives to investigate the middle and low-level generals, he got a general understanding of the situation of the 12th regiment's battalion generals embezzling money and money.
Then, a vigorous campaign to recover the empty pay was carried out with the cooperation of Jinyi Mansion, Guo Yongying, Wucheng Military and Horse Division and other government agencies.
If he takes the initiative to confess, he will be able to reorganize the army before Yongying, only pay half of the shortfall, and pardon his crime.
Because this operation was aimed at middle and high-ranking generals, and the Jinyi Mansion, Guo Yong Camp, and Wucheng Bingma Division were cooperating, and the Ministry of War also had the support of Jia Heng’s Emperor Sword, although it caused dissatisfaction among some generals, But it didn't cause any trouble.
Jingying, Jieshuai Camp
In the barracks, Li Zan, Minister of the Ministry of War, put down the book of deficit pay collection compiled by Fang Ji, the chief of the marching army. His thin, cold face could not help but show a hint of joy, and said: "So far, the deficit has been found to be nearly one million. Two, with this money, the soldiers will be settled."
At this moment, the generals below also looked happy and nodded frequently.
Especially Fang Ji, the prince who left the old army, had more complicated thoughts.
Jia Heng said: "Sir, after the bribes are completely recovered, we can continue to select the front school soldiers."
Li Zan nodded and said: "The camps must also recruit young men from Shaanxi and Bashu to make up 250,000 troops and horses. In addition, I will send an order to the Ministry of War to mobilize elite guards from the provincial capitals. Replenish the capital camp."
The latter can be regarded as a routine strategy of strengthening the trunk and weakening the branches.
Jia Heng said: "Mr. Pavilion, it is necessary to deploy an appropriate amount of elite guards. It is not advisable to deploy too many to avoid affecting the stability of local provinces."
He once had a discussion with Shi Jie, the minister of the Ministry of War, about how many troops and horses the Beijing camp needed. At first, Shi Jie thought that the 12th regiment battalion would have 50,000 yuan per battalion and the Beijing camp would have 200,000 yuan, but he did not agree at the time and thought that maintaining two Only 150,000 troops are sufficient.
Obviously, Li Zan agreed with his proposition.
The number of soldiers in the Beijing camp is very small. If there is no strong support from a cabinet minister, the civil service group will definitely take advantage of this elimination of generals and colleges to downsize.
"What Ziyu said is true. The local provinces have not been peaceful in the past two years. The military discipline of the soldiers in the capital's guard station has been ruined and their combat effectiveness is weak. Just like the Beijing camp, they are in urgent need of rectification." Li Zan's face gradually became serious and he said solemnly: " Yesterday, the Henan Dusi and the Henan Governor sent urgent military information. When three thousand officers and soldiers of the Henan Dusi suppressed a group of bandits entrenched in Jigong Mountain, they were defeated and lost their troops. It was said that there were as many as a thousand bandits entrenched in Jigong Mountain. Man, after this battle, the thieves' power has greatly increased."
Jia Heng frowned and said, "How...how could this happen?"
A few months ago, he listened to the Ministry of War's order to all provinces to eliminate banditry years ago.
I once remembered that he also proposed to the Ministry of War that the rewards should not be based on how many bandits were suppressed, but the merits of quelling chaos and bringing peace. Unexpectedly, not long after this, the Henan Dusi suffered a defeat.
After thinking about it again, I felt that it was normal. The combat power of the Beijing camp was not of much use, let alone the soldiers of the local capital guards. It was normal for thieves and bandits to swarm and the officers and soldiers failed to suppress them.
Thinking of this, he said: "Sir, I think that after the military training in the capital camp is completed, we can select the best soldiers and send them to Henan and Shandong to suppress the bandits, and at the same time hone their combat power through actual combat."
