The pass in the north of Daqi is the most important of all the passes. The main general stationed here is Zhaowu General Rong Jue.
The late emperor once suppressed the Rong family because they were grievances against the then Jingyuan Hou Ming.
The Rong family is also a general, Rong Yu and Rong Jue are both military generals, but Lord Rong is a civil servant.
After the current emperor, that is, the original King Xin ascended the throne, all the officials who had been suppressed by the late emperor were restored to their original posts. Rong Yu was transferred back to the capital to take charge of the fourth battalion of the capital to protect the safety of the capital. Rong Jue was transferred to Beiguan Fortress, an important border town. Baicheng.
After Rong Jue remarried, Qi Yanran thought that Rong Jue would take her to Baicheng, a frontier fortress. Unexpectedly, Lord Rong separated the family first, and even separated the family on the wedding day. This really slapped Rong Guogong Liu Cheng in the face. , and Rong Jue had no intention of taking her away from Beijing.
On the night of the wedding day, Rong Jue left the capital.
Therefore, in the General's Mansion in Baicheng, apart from a few powerful women, there are only servants and personal soldiers.
The local wealthy businessmen in Baicheng also wanted to give their daughters to Rong Jue as their side wives, but they were all rejected by Rong Jue.
There was also a local official's daughter who stalked her and came to her door many times, but was thrown into the flower house by Rong Jue.
Although she did not lose her innocence, the young lady from a high family was thrown into the Flower House, and her reputation was not good. She ended up being sent to the family temple, where she stayed with the Ancient Buddha of the Green Lantern for the rest of her life.
Everyone thought that General Rong had a deep affection for his wife, but only the person involved knew the details.
But from then on, no woman dared to approach the general's mansion again.
At this time, in the martial arts training ground of the General's Mansion, a tall man with sharp sword eyebrows was standing on a high platform with his hands behind his back.
The man had a pair of peach blossom eyes, but his eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded a strong killing aura. He was looking at the personal guards who were sparring below.
This person is none other than General Rong Jue of Zhaowu.
Rong Bo, the chief steward of the General's Mansion, walked in hurriedly, and Hei Yao, the deputy general who stood by Rong Jue's side and also the personal captain, jumped off the high platform.
Rong Bo and Hei Yao whispered a few words, and Hei Yao nodded, then returned to the high platform, walked up to the general, and whispered: "General, something has arrived from Beijing again."
"Jingli?" Rong Jue frowned.
"It was given to me by Mrs. Qi's order. The visitor said that there is also a purse embroidered by the young lady."
Hei Yao has followed the general since he was a child, so he naturally knows about the Rong Mansion. He also dislikes the Qi family and their daughter.
"Go back!" Rong Jue said coldly.
Hei Yao nodded, left quickly, and told the housekeeper: "Uncle Rong, from now on, as long as the things are sent by that woman, there is no need to report them to the general, they will be returned!"
Uncle Rong nodded.
If it were just something given by that woman, he would naturally know how to deal with it, but there were also things given by Miss Rong Shu, so he went back and forth to report it to his second master.
Unexpectedly, my second master is still not happy with the young lady after all these years. He will naturally know how to deal with her in the future.
Seeing the chill on his general's face, Hei Yao said cautiously: "Master, I heard that a new storyteller has arrived at the Wang Family Teahouse. Do you want to go listen to it and relax?"
Rong Jue said nothing and nodded for a moment.
Occasionally, he would go to the teahouse to sit and relax, but it was just to sit and sit, not to listen to books or songs.
After Hei Yao made arrangements for the martial arts training ground, he followed his second master and left the general's mansion.
Wang's Tea House is not far from the General's Mansion, and is located in a relatively quiet side street.
However, the business of Wang's Tea House is good, the tea here is good, and artists are invited to speak from time to time, so there are many regular customers.
Rong Jue entered the tea house through the back door instead of the front door. Hei Yao informed the boss in advance.
The boss naturally knew the general's intention, and he didn't want to attract the attention of the teahouse guests, so he found a seat upstairs for Rong Jue.
The boss personally served tea and snacks and then left.
After a while, the storyteller downstairs came on stage.
Because it is not a private room, the sound from downstairs can be blocked by closing the door.
The seats are only separated by screens, so you can clearly see what's going on downstairs.
The storyteller looked young, and because he had been here several times before, some of the regular customers recognized him and applauded.
The storyteller stood steadily in front of the desk, slapped the wood, and opened his mouth and said: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life! Dear readers, I will tell you a new paragraph today."
"Okay! We can't wait for the new book!"
"That's right, tell us quickly and let us listen, haha!"
"Come on, young and old gentlemen, listen carefully!"
Rong Jue couldn't help but look downstairs, wanting to hear what new things the storyteller could tell.
The storyteller spoke calmly and calmly.
It is said that there was a rich man who married a virtuous wife and had a pair of children. It could be said that his life was perfect.
One day, the master went out to do errands. He felt unwell and fainted on the way. When he woke up, he saw an old man and his daughter in front of him.
The master thought that it was the father and daughter who had rescued him, so he was naturally very grateful.
The old man was an old scholar, and his daughter was divorced and returned to her parents' home. The old man saw that this rich man looked good, and when he was in his thirties, he thought of entrusting his daughter to this man.
The daughter also fell in love with the master, so she said that in order to save the master, she would personally wash the master's body regardless of the difference between men and women. When the master heard this, he felt that although this woman was a young woman, she did not care about her innocence for her own sake, and he was very moved.
When the old man saw this, he added fuel to the fire. His daughter was innocent for saving the man. Her daughter could not survive and could only go to the temple to be a sister-in-law. The father and daughter cried each other.
The master couldn't bear it. After all, the woman had lost her innocence, so how could she let her benefactor go to the temple?
So after he recovered, he left enough money for the old man and took the woman back home.
The sweet wife at home was kind-hearted and although she was not happy in her heart, the woman lost her innocence in order to save her husband. Seeing that the woman was honest and responsible, she agreed, so the woman stayed in the house and became a concubine.
Unexpectedly, the kindhearted lady of the house would push herself and her children into a pit of fire!
With a "pop" sound, the Storyteller slapped Hibiki hard.
People below started talking one after another.
"What fire pit?"
"Needless to say, that woman must have evil intentions and wants to marry the main wife!"
"That's right, this rich man was blinded by lard. The concubine is the source of chaos in the family. If there is a concubine in the family, there will definitely be many troubles. The concubine who is honest and responsible will be fine, but when she meets someone who is dishonest and has big thoughts, Designated to cause trouble.”
Everything was said below, and the hall was filled with excitement for a while.
"Snapped"!
The storyteller patted Hibiki again, and everyone fell silent instantly, staring at the storyteller.
The storyteller cleared his throat and continued:
All the judges have sharp eyes, that’s right!
After this woman entered the house, she was honest at first, but in less than a year, the head of the house passed away. The head of the house had a weak body, but she would not die!
After the wife disappeared, the master saw that my concubine was honest and considerate, so he asked me to take care of the house.
Not long after, despite the objections of his two children, he took the concubine as his stepmother, and from then on the concubine walked around the house.
The daughter who stayed with her husband's family after she was divorced found her again and stayed in the mansion, becoming a young lady in the mansion. The original wife's children were gradually alienated by the master.
Especially after the stepmother gave birth to a son, as long as there was a stepmother, there would be a stepfather. This pair of children suffered a great sin!
The most hateful thing is that the stepdaughter actually fell in love with the husband-in-law of her eldest daughter!
The stepmother wanted to exchange the marriage of the legitimate lady for her own daughter.
The man did not agree, so he proposed to marry the two ladies at the same time, regardless of age, and the sisters would serve one husband together!
