The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same. The Rongguo Mansion is filled with gloom and gloom, while the Ningguo Mansion is full of joy and laughter.
Qingwen and other girls raised funds to buy a banquet for Ping'er.
After the banquet, a group of maids chatted and laughed together, which was very lively.
Jia Huan also found it particularly eye-catching.
After a while, it got darker and later.
Jia Huan stood up and was about to wash up. Qingwen pushed Ping'er into the room and said with a smile: "Sister Ping'er, you will wait for the third master to take a bath today. We can be lazy for once!"
Ping'er suddenly became panicked, his cheeks were red with embarrassment, his expression was coy, and he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Jia Huan.
Jia Huan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Why, are you still afraid that I will eat you?"
Ping'er smiled shyly and said, "I'm clumsy. I'm afraid I won't be as good as Third Master, and I will be disliked by Third Master!"
Jia Huan smiled and said: "You are very considerate in following Sister Feng, so you are certainly attentive, and I am also very attentive to you. You don't have to worry."
Hearing this, Ping'er pursed his lips and smiled, feeling slightly relieved.
She couldn't help but stepped forward, undressed Jia Huan, and took off her clothes.
Jia Huan is extremely strong, and she is the type that makes you look thin when you are wearing clothes, but you look fat when you are undressed.
Seeing Jia Huan's inverted triangle figure, Ping'er almost couldn't help but exclaim, and her heart beat violently.
It wasn't until Jia Huan sat in the tub that Ping'er came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to help Jia Huan wash himself.
After Jia Huan finished washing, Ping'er shyly helped Jia Huan wipe her body clean, changed into pajamas, and wrung Jia Huan's hair dry.
After Jia Huan went out, Ping'er stayed to clean up the house.
Qingwen walked in with a smile and said in amazement: "This washing lasted for most of an hour. I don't know what you did. There is so much water on the ground. I don't know how you washed it."
Ping'er said shyly: "Don't come here and talk nonsense. It only took less than half an hour to wash. How could it be as long as you said?"
"I'm just waiting for the third master to take a bath. Are you afraid that you have brought in the scene of yourself serving the third master?"
Qingwen said angrily: "You're such an ordinary person, I haven't spoken to you yet, I just asked you a few questions in vain, and you came to arrange it for me. Tonight, I want to see how you serve the third master!"
As she spoke, Qingwen pounced on Ping'er with all her teeth and claws, and the two women immediately started fighting together.
Next, Ping'er also took a bath, wrung his hair and entered the house.
Ping'er didn't know what would happen at night, and suddenly became uneasy.
Caiyun, Yuanyang and other girls directly pushed Ping'er into the back room with a smile.
Standing in front of the bed, Ping'er shyly said: "Third Master..."
Jia Huan smiled slightly and said, "Ping'er, come up and talk."
"Yes, Third Master."
While responding, Ping'er climbed onto the bed.
Exactly: before the rain, there are stamens among the flowers for the first time, but after the rain, there are no leaves and flowers at the bottom.
Bees and butterflies rushed over the wall one after another, but they suspected that the beauty of spring was in the neighboring house.
That night, several girls were outside eavesdropping.
I don’t know when the clouds will clear up and the rain will stop, and the house will gradually settle down.
Early the next morning, Jia Huan woke up early as usual, got dressed and got out of bed to prepare for some exercise.
This is a habit he has developed over the years, and he basically never stops doing it.
Ping'er was busy struggling to get up and serve him, but last night, it was the first rain and dew, and his body was really lazy and weak.
Jia Huan waved his hand and ordered her to lie down and rest.
Jia Huan dressed himself and went to the martial arts field.
I ran, practiced a set of boxing techniques, and practiced a set of sword techniques. My body was fully moved and I was sweating slightly.
After moving his body, Jia Huan walked back slowly.
When I walked to the yard, I heard Qingwen in the room saying in a low voice: "Third Master, please slow down, I really can't do it anymore."
Yuanyang smiled and said: "Qingwen is narrow-minded, but she is very familiar with it. Just by listening to the voice, you will think that it is really a mediocre voice."
Xiao Hong pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Sister Qingwen is no better than Xue Ping'er, she is also called like that!"
Qingwen said angrily: "I ripped you two off. Last night, you usually lay at the door and eavesdropped."
"You have become a serious person now, and you are making fun of me one by one, as if you have never begged for mercy!"
It wasn't until Jia Huan walked in that the girls stopped playing and came forward with red faces to help Jia Huan wash up.
…
When Jia Mu woke up early the next morning, she felt light-headed, weak, and lazy to move.
After Jia Zheng learned about it, he hurriedly invited the imperial doctor to take a look at Jia's mother.
Not long after, Dr. Wang was invited. After diagnosing Jia's mother, he just said that she had occasionally caught wind and cold, and had been thinking too much, which had strained her heart and spleen. He prescribed some medicine and told her that she needed to take a good rest.
After taking the medicine, Jia Mu once again worried about Baoyu's marriage.
Baoyu is also older and has reached the age of getting married.
But now Rongguo Mansion has just suffered a series of blows, and Baoyu has been framed and has a bad reputation. It is probably extremely difficult to find a daughter from a good family.
Even the Xue family refused to marry them, let alone other families?
Under such circumstances, there was no good choice, so Jia Mu had to focus on the historian Shi Xiangyun.
Jia's mother sent someone to Shi's house and called Baolinghou Shi Nai over.
Jia's mother asked herself about Shi Nai and wanted to get engaged to Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun.
As a result, Shi Nai declined politely and said that if she got engaged to Brother Huan, she would be able to become a concubine.
These words made Jia Mu furious, and then she kicked Shi Nai out.
After leaving Jia's house, Shi Nai was also very angry.
This good aunt of mine is really calculating.
Two years ago, when their Rongguo Mansion was prosperous, why didn't they want to marry their Shi family?
Now that the Rongguo Mansion is in ruins, and that playboy Jia Baoyu has been ruined, is he thinking about getting married to their Shi family?
Let’s have their spring and autumn dreams!
Although the Shi family is not as good as the Jia family, their titles are hereditary.
Now that he is still a marquis, what else does Rongguo Mansion have?
Two more generations and it will be nothing.
What's more, that good-for-nothing Baoyu can't inherit the title, so only his good aunt treats him as a treasure.
In Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu was very angry.
Shi Nai, that idiot, would rather marry Shi Xiangyun to Jia Huan as his concubine than betroth her to Baoyu as his wife. How stupid he is!
However, now that even the Shi family is out of business, where can we find a good family?
Seeing that Baoyu is getting older and older, although the boy is not from the girl's family, it doesn't matter if he is older and gets married.
But men who get married late must first establish a career and then start a family.
As for them, they don't need Baoyu to establish a career, so it is naturally better to get married early.
Thinking of this, Jia's mother called Jia Zheng over again and discussed it with Jia Zheng.
Now Jia Zheng has completely given up on Jia Baoyu and no longer wants to let Jia Baoyu start his career.
Don't say that Baoyu's studies were in a mess. Even if he was successful in his studies, he had a bad reputation and would find it difficult to integrate into the academy.
In this case, it is better to get him married as soon as possible.
After getting married, I can't believe that I can be more stable.
Next, Jia Mu and Jia Zheng put out words and asked someone to inquire about Baoyu's marriage.
It's just that this marriage is so easy to find all of a sudden.
Although there are many matchmakers who covet the Jia family's bounty, they have talked to many people.
These are the things that either his family status is really bad, his appearance is not upright, or he has a bad reputation, and even Mother Jia doesn't like him.
It was useless to rush the matter, so Jia Mu had no choice but to ask people to inquire slowly.
…
Moreover, the training of the Red Flame Army is slowly getting on the right track.
On the one hand, Jia Huan left most of the training burden to his lieutenants Zhou Tong and Mo Da.
Jia Huan focused on ideological education work and often chatted with soldiers to understand what they were thinking.
Moreover, Jia Huan also formulated a military song for the Red Flame Army. Before each meal, they had to line up and sing a military song before they could eat.
At the same time, Jia Huan also invited several scholars to spend an hour every day to teach the soldiers of the Red Flame Army how to read.
At the same time, Jia Huan also set up a special entertainment and leisure area in the military camp.
There is a special Cuju court here. The rules of ancient Cuju were similar to those of later generations of football.
However, Cuju focuses more on individual performance, and it is extremely difficult to get started.
Jia Huan improved the rules of Cuju, making Cuju more suitable for later generations.
In addition to the Cuju courts, there are also table tennis courts and badminton courts.
There are also backgammon and poker areas.
Even Jia Huan organizes some competitions for these entertainment projects every month, and the winners can win rewards.
These competitions and entertainment and leisure area projects have also greatly enriched the life of the Red Flame Army.
Zhou Tong has been watching Jia Huan's actions with cold eyes.
His evaluation is that Jia Huan is indeed talented, but in the army, these are of little use.
The military worships the strong. Only the strong will convince them and make the soldiers follow them wholeheartedly.
And there is no doubt that he, Zhou Tong, is the strongest person in the army!
After one and a half months of training, Zhou Tong was undoubtedly the strongest in every training subject.
Even in queue movements, Zhou Tong is the one with the most standard movements.
Not to mention other physical training.
Now, there is not a single soldier in the entire Red Flame Army who is not convinced by him.
And Zhou Tong is very friendly and can get along well with the soldiers.
In Zhou Tong's view, the Red Flame Army's military morale has almost been completely won over by him.
If he really wanted to seize power, these soldiers would definitely only listen to him and not Jia Huan.
Of course, Zhou Tong is not in a hurry to seize power, or in other words, he may not necessarily seize power if it is not necessary.
As long as Jia Huan Anxin can be a puppet, that's fine.
It has now been a month and a half since he joined the army, and he has been training for new recruits for two months.
Next, queue movement training will be greatly reduced.
The focus of the next training will be on physical fitness, spears, bows and arrows, riding skills, military formation drills, etc.
For an army, these are the top priorities.
Only when you have trained these well can you be qualified to go into battle to kill the enemy and become a strong army.
And Zhou Tong was absolutely confident that he could train the Red Flame Army into a strong army.
Zhou Tong is also confident that in the following training, he can further strengthen his mythical image among soldiers.
Because his greatest strength is actually in riding, swordsmanship, marksmanship, battle formations, etc.
After these trainings are carried out, he will become a god in the army!
When the time comes, what will Jia Huan have to fight with him?
What Zhou Tong didn't know was that Jia Huan saw all his performances.
Originally, Jia Huan was quite afraid of Zhou Tong.
But after he secretly observed Zhou Tong's performance for a month and a half, there were only two words left in his mind: That's it?
If Zhou Tong was brave and resourceful, he would really be a powerful enemy for him.
It's a pity that Jia Huan really didn't pay attention to Zhou Tong because of his bravery.
Such brave men are admirable, but not fearful.
Zhou Tong didn't even understand his layout, so why should he argue with him?
Of course, Zhou Tong cannot be entirely blamed for this. In the words of later generations, this is called historical limitation.
(These things can be written into at least ten or eight chapters, but Yanyu doesn’t need such boring plots to increase the number of words)
It may be difficult for Zhou Tong to understand that he himself is only the most powerful general of the Red Flame Army, while Jia Huan himself is the soul of the Red Flame Army.
Jia Huan would often take the initiative to praise Zhou Tong's bravery in the Red Flame Army, which made Zhou Tong feel a little embarrassed.
Next, the Red Flame Army began training in riding, archery, marksmanship, and military formations.
Zhou Tong is the chief instructor.
During the archery training, Zhou Tong shocked the three armies by performing a superb shot that could penetrate a poplar at a hundred and fifty paces.
Zhou Tong couldn't help but feel proud when he saw the reaction of the soldiers in the army.
…
Let's talk about Rongguo Mansion. On this day, a woman suddenly came to propose marriage to Baoyu.
Jia Mu hurriedly invited her into Rongqing Hall.
The woman couldn't help but said: "Congratulations to my ancestors, congratulations to my ancestors, there is a marriage here, and it is a good match for Mr. Bao."
Hearing this, Jia Mu quickly asked: "Oh, I wonder which family the girl is from?"
The woman took a sip of tea and said, "I want our ancestors to know that this family, like the Xue family, is a registered businessman in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and it is also one of the largest families."
"In Hecheng, everyone from the princes to the businessmen calls his family the Osmanthus Xia family."
When Jia Mu heard that they were from a business family, she felt a little unhappy.
That's just the Xue family. After all, they all belong to the four major families. How do other business families put them in her eyes?
Jia Mu couldn't help but ask: "Why is it called Osmanthus Xiajia?"
The woman couldn't help but reply: "Her family's surname is Xia, and she is very wealthy. Not to mention the rest of the fields, there are only dozens of hectares of land where Osmanthus fragrans is grown alone."
"Every osmanthus flower bureau in and outside the city belongs to her family. Even the bonsai displayed in the palace are tributes from her family, hence the nickname."
"Now her grandfather is gone, and only the old lady lives with her biological daughter. She has no brothers. It's a pity that their family has no descendants."
Hearing this, Jia Mu became even more unhappy.
This is actually a girl who lost her father. She must have lacked education. How could she get into the lintel of his Rongguo Mansion?
It's just that the Osmanthus Xia family is actually the family with the best family status among Ti's relatives in the past few months.
If you reject this family decisively, you may not be able to find a better family later.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Jia Mu did not refuse immediately.
After thinking about it, Mother Jia still felt that Baoyu and I still had to make the decision on this matter.
Therefore, he sent someone to tell Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang the news and let them make their own decisions. (End of chapter)
