Chapter 104 Fate with Yuanyang Because this is the "return" of the new uncle, most of the cousins from the Rongguo Duke's palace are here, such as Jia She, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, etc. who hold the post of first-class generals.
In addition, there are also foreign relatives, including uncles, aunts, aunts, etc., such as Wang Ziteng and others.
At the dinner table, everyone sat down. Shui Rong was a star-studded existence today, so he was naturally taken seriously. All the relatives from the younger generation came to toast him, and this was also a recognition gift for his new uncle.
Not long after, a big-headed Xue Pan came over holding a wine cup. His expression was nervous and his tone was slightly trembling.
Seeing this situation, Shui Rong understood clearly in his heart. He needed to know that Xue Pan offended him and was imprisoned in prison and suffered a lot. There are many elders here now. If Shui Rongfan said anything wrong, Xue Pan's skin would be gone. Gotta get ripped off.
However, Shui Rong didn't care about this at this time. Instead, he thought of the bright and charming sister Bao. Remembering that the last time the Xue family's mother and daughter came to the palace to apologize, Shui Rong had the intention of accepting her into the palace, and even mentioned it in words. It was just because of Yuanchun that it was delayed.
Baochai has a beautiful appearance and elegant manners. To say that Shui Rong has no thoughts in his heart is pure nonsense. Moreover, Baochai is one of the twelve hairpins in Jinling. Those who have heard of his name for a long time will naturally have curious thoughts.
That day Shui Rong also saw that both mother and daughter of the Xue family were interested. In that case, why should Shui Rong be coy.
It's just that it's wrong to be thinking about your sister-in-law not long after marrying Yuan Chun, so Shui Rong has done nothing in recent times.
He chuckled lightly, now is not the time to think about these things. Even if it is legal and reasonable in this era, it is too scumbag. At least it will take some time for everyone to look better before making plans.
After encouraging Xue Pan for a few words, Shui Rong said no more.
Seeing that Shui Rong didn't care about it, Xue Pan was overjoyed and ran away after toasting, for fear that Shui Rong would regret it.
I don't know how long it took, the banquet was over, Shui Rong drank a lot of wine, and his handsome face was a little rosy, so he went back to the guest room to rest for the time being. The servants had already prepared sobering soup.
Shui Rong drank a few sips of the hangover soup and felt his stomach felt better. He looked at Wang Ziteng and asked with a smile, "Uncle, is the rectification of the Beijing camp going well?"
Hearing Shui Rong's inquiry, the prince hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, all the old and weak soldiers in the Beijing camp have been dismissed, and the missing troops have been recruited. The number of soldiers in the Beijing camp now totals [-], and they are all elite soldiers."
Shui Rong was silent when he heard the words. The army is divided into "battalions", and the coordination of soldiers is very important. At this time, the Beijing camp looks elite, but in fact it is a mess. If you want the Beijing camp to take on a new look, you have to train hard.
But this is not something Shui Rong should worry about at the moment. Since the rectification of the Beijing Camp has gone smoothly, those governors must have put in a lot of effort. Otherwise, Wang Ziteng would not have been able to go so smoothly.
Since the generals in the Beijing camp are aware of their interests, Shui Rong will not treat them badly. He remembers that he had promised to be the governor of the Central Military Command.
Thinking of this, Shui Rong nodded and said, "Very good. I'd like to trouble my uncle to tell Governor Feng that after a while, I will control the Central Military Governor's Mansion so that he can calm down."
Wang Ziteng's eyes lit up when he heard this. Since the prince has said this, it must be his majesty's promise. The nephew and son-in-law now is not an idle prince, but a powerful prince. This is also a good thing for him, so he agreed: "I understand, I understand. , please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Shui Rong nodded, then said nothing, wiped his mouth with the handkerchief and put it on the table.
Wang Ziteng's eyes flickered. After hesitating for a moment, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I will soon be ordered to investigate the situation. This matter requires your full support."
When Shui Rong heard this, he understood that the situation of the soldiers in Jiubian was probably even worse than that in Jingying. Moreover, they had been fighting with foreign enemies all year round, and they carried banditry. They were mostly unruly people. This time, Wang Ziteng was ordered to investigate the border. , even if he has real power, he does not necessarily have to sell face. In the end, if Wang Ziteng fails to do his job, he will still be the unlucky one.
At this time, Wang Ziteng asked Shui Rong for support. This was because part of the Jiubian Town was under the control of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion. It could also be said to be the old department of the Beijing Prince's Mansion. If there was Shui Rong's support, the border inspection would go much smoother. .
After pondering, Shui Rong said with a smile: "I am my uncle's nephew and son-in-law. They will still give my uncle some kindness. As for those who don't show kindness, my uncle should be cautious and don't cause any trouble."
Regarding the soldiers in Jiubian, they are different from the Jingying. The Jingying has low-sightedness and cannot cause big troubles, but the Jiubian important towns are different. Not to mention that they are not capable, not all the Jiubian important towns are commanded by the Chinese army. Under the jurisdiction of the government, it is still unclear how much favor can be sold, so one needs to be cautious.
When Wang Ziteng heard this, he understood clearly that Shui Rong's intention was to stop him from being too impatient and ruining things.
After discussing with Shuirong for a few words, Wang Ziteng couldn't stay long, so he left.
At this time, the intensity of the water-soluble alcohol has eased a lot, and the person seems to be much more awake, but his head is still a little dizzy, and he must be half drunk to the touch!
After thinking for a moment, Shui Rong couldn't fall asleep. He had nothing to do, so he simply went to look for Yuanchun. There was no harm in taking a look at those sisters-in-law, so he called Xiao Fuzi and walked towards the inner courtyard.
When they walked to the corridor, Xiao Fuzi helped him carefully. Shui Rong noticed Xiao Fuzi's cautiousness and smiled angrily: "I'm not drunk, so who are you showing off to?"
Although Shui Xiu drank a lot, he was conscious and walking without swaying. He was really fine.
Xiao Fuzi smiled bitterly, not to mention that he was afraid that the prince would fall, but just as the prince said, it was just a show off, and that was not for the prince to see.
However, Xiao Fuzi was not stupid enough to speak out. When he came to a fork in the road, Xiao Fuzi asked: "Your Majesty, we don't know where the princess is at this time. Where should we go?" Shui Rong frowned when he heard this and looked. Xiang Xiaofuzi's eyes became unkind, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "What a stupid thing. I forgot what we did last time. There are so many maids in the house, and you won't know if you just ask one of them."
Xiao Fuzi shrank his head when he heard this. The prince was right. It was like this last time.
Knowing his mistake, Xiao Fuzi raised his eyes and took a look. When he saw the tall maid not far away, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly greeted her.
The maid heard the greeting and saw that it was Prince Beijing. She picked up the skirt of her skirt with bare hands and trotted over. She approached and said respectfully, "I have seen the prince before."
Shui Rong lowered his head slightly when he heard the words, and looked at the maid in front of him. She was wearing a smoky pink floral silk top with an open collar, a light aqua green jacket with a round collar, an autumn fragrance-colored sweat towel around her waist, and a shallow water sweater at the hem. The green dress is quite eye-catching. However, when Shui Rong saw a few freckles on the maid's cheeks, she looked a little shocked, and realized that the maid in front of her was not the mandarin duck.
Although Shui Rong was conscious at this time, he was still a little dazed. Looking at the tall beauty in front of him, Shui Rong smiled and said: "Miss Yuanyang, it's a coincidence that I meet you again. It's really fate."
Shui Rong entered Jia's house twice, and met Yuanyang both times. It was not fate.
Yuanyang was slightly shocked when she heard Shuirong say her name. She didn't expect that the prince would actually remember her as a maid. When she heard the prince say the word "fate", her heart trembled slightly and her plump face couldn't help but become tipsy. .
My lord, what does this mean? Could it be... With a sigh, Yuanyang came back to his senses. The prince smelled of alcohol now. Maybe he didn't pay attention to his words. She was just a maid. How could she be lucky enough to have a fate with the prince? After calming down, Yuanyang said politely: "How can I be a slave? What kind of girl do you want to marry? Your Majesty, please don’t break your slave.”
Shui Rong didn't care about this, it was nothing more than a polite name. He waved his hand and Shui Rong said in a warm voice: "Where is Yuanchun at this time?"
Yuanyang felt relieved when he heard this. The prince asked where the eldest girl was because he wanted to find her, so he responded: "Go back to the prince, the princess is at the old lady's place at the moment, and the servant will guide the prince."
Shui Rong nodded when he heard the words. This mandarin duck was quite smart. He knew his purpose without saying anything, which saved him a lot of words.
Yuanyang led the way, and Shuirong led Xiao Fuzi to follow behind.
After a while, Shui Rong felt a little sweat on his forehead. He wanted to take out a handkerchief to wipe it, but found that the handkerchief was not on him.
After groaning, Shui Rong turned around and ordered Xiao Fuzi who was following behind: "Xiao Fuzi, give me the sweat towel."
Xiao Fuzi was stunned when he heard this. You must know that the prince has never liked them as eunuchs to serve personally, and only those sisters can be used in the prince's palace.
However, after the prince gave the order, Xiao Fuzi reached out and prepared to take out the sweat towel.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Xiao Fuzi. He remembered what the prince said about his fate with that girl.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fuzi stuffed back the half-exposed sweat towel and said with a grimace: "Your Majesty, I didn't bring any of you either."
Shui Rong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. What was this little Fuzi pretending to do? He clearly saw the sweat towel and dared to tell lies with his eyes open. It seemed that he was too lenient to him and became arrogant.
Just as Shuirong was about to reprimand, Xiao Fuzi looked at Yuanyang who was leading the way, trotted closer, and said with a slightly flattering expression: "Sister Yuanyang, do you have a veil on you?"
Yuanyang was startled when she heard this. She did have a handkerchief, but it was just against the rules! But since he asked, Yuanyang couldn't refuse. After thinking for a moment, he handed the handkerchief tied to his armband to Xiao Fuzi with a blushing face.
Xiao Fuzi took the embroidered handkerchief, ran back in a hurry, and held the embroidered handkerchief in front of Shui Rong.
Shui Rong looked at Xiao Fuzi's winking expression, and suddenly felt enlightened, wondering that this little Fuzi was acting strangely, and it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
However, the handkerchief was sent over, so refusing would be unnecessary, so Shuirong took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Suddenly, an elegant soft fragrance appeared on the tip of the nose, which seemed to make people feel relaxed and happy.
Involuntarily, Shui Rong stepped forward and took a sniff. It turned out to be the fragrance of chrysanthemums. The mandarin duck was as light as a chrysanthemum, and his plain heart was as simple as a simple man. It was quite a match.
Yuanyang's apricot eyes quietly looked at Shui Rong. Seeing Shui Rong's movements, her heart trembled slightly and her jade cheeks suddenly turned crimson.
It should be noted that the embroidered handkerchief is a private property of the daughter's boudoir and is kept with her everywhere. If the prince sniffs it, isn't he sniffing her...
Shui Rong didn't realize he was there, handed the embroidered handkerchief back to Yuanyang, and said warmly, "I'm sorry to bother you, Miss Yuanyang."
The mandarin duck's bright apricot eyes blinked at the water-soluble embroidered handkerchief handed back, she licked her moist lips, and with a pretty face, she reached out to take it back, and guided the way without saying a word.
