Tanchun said,"I came here a few days ago and saw that the concubine was chattering at the wife's place. She seemed to be angry and worried. Why?"”"You know my brother's temper," said Baochai. I've been practicing archery and horse riding in the East Mansion, so I don't have time to go out and cause trouble. My mother doesn't have to worry. Now that the imperial court was training the Dragon Martial Army, he was going to join them as well. She didn't let him go. He made a scene at home and said,"I was spoiled since I was young and didn't finish my studies. It was not easy to come across this opportunity. If he missed it again, his life would be over. What if he goes? My mother is worried when she sees that he is going to war. Therefore, the women are very noisy. Your Zhou residence has always led troops. In your opinion, should we go?”"Your family may not have relied on him to make contributions, but it's still his ambition." It's not that I'm looking down on him, but if he's as straightforward as Big Brother, how can he be a civilian? He might have some achievements if he went on to practice martial arts. Speaking of danger, no one dared to guarantee that they would send troops to war. If he was a military officer, then the yamen system was no different from a civil official.”"Are Big Brother Zhen's friends from the East Mansion going?" asked Xiang Yun.”"Just because of a bunch of them," said Baochai,"they all want to go. My brother has always been a warm-hearted person. He is also bold. What else does he have to worry about?”

"Everyone has an ambition," Tanchun said."Maybe he has another career in the future." I was just about to ask Second Sister-in-law a question: Just now, Qiuwen came to get the fruit plate. She said that you dreamed of Sister Lin again and went to their place. Is that true?”"That's right," said Baochai."I went with him and saw many people.”"Have you seen Second Brother?" Tanchun asked.”"He's no longer a monk or a Taoist priest," Baochai said."He's still dressed like he used to. That place seems to be his home. It's called the Crimson Afterglow Palace."”"If Second Older Brother was still alive, he would definitely have a great career." However, he took fame and fortune too lightly. Now he finally got what he wanted and put the heavy burden of the family on the two of us. I'm just helping and giving some ideas. It's hard for you to deal with it all day long and put on an act with a rock on your head.”

"What can we do?" Baochai asked. He could only run forward. At first, I was still a little indignant, but after listening to Pin 'er's words, I had nothing to say. He said that if I wanted to be there, he would take my name and do these things for me. You still have this kind of courage when you are like Pin 'er, who is blown down by the wind. Don't tell me we will lose to him?”Xiang Yun said,"I'm telling you, Pin 'er and you are finally 120% close." Don't say that it was really this, just these few words, where did he have them in the past?”The three of them chatted for a while. Xiang Yun said,"It's too cold here. I can't sit still. I need to go back and put on more clothes."”"I've been out for half a day," said Baochai."I'm going back to see Hui 'er. Let's go together." The two said goodbye to Tanchun and went to Qinfang Gate, where they went their separate ways.

Where do you think the Dragon Martial Army came from? It turned out that at that time, the sea was peaceful, and the military preparations had been relaxed for more than a day. There were many ministers who advocated training the troops. Today, they would submit a memorial, and tomorrow, they would make a statement. The Imperial Court was working hard to make the country prosperous, and they had issued many decrees. First, in Kinki, the new army of Longwu was organized and trained, divided into five roads, which belonged to Shence Office.

The central army was to guard the capital region and specially select the children of the nobility. It just so happened that Jia Zhen was practicing archery and horse riding with a class of distinguished people. When it came to choosing, they were all better in riding and archery. For example, Niu Jizong, Ma Shangqing, Liu Fang, and Chen Ruiwen had picked quite a few. They were all close friends with Xue Pan and knew that he was good at archery and horse riding, so they repeatedly recommended him to help. Even the brother who entered the painting was recommended to them by Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen was also very skilled in archery and horse riding. After all, he was used to it and was unwilling to lead troops personally, so he did not go to challenge him. He had read military books for the past two years and knew some strategies. Seeing that the higher-ups paid attention to military equipment, he also wanted to use this opportunity to show his face, so he drafted ten strategies for managing the army: The first is to select Shizhou to assist the central government, the second is to expand the pro-army to consolidate the foundation, the third is to train the border army to defend the border, the fourth is to attach importance to the veteran generals to curb the outbreak of chaos, the fifth is to combine the military power to attach importance to the general's power, the sixth is to trust rewards and punishments to strengthen the national discipline, the seventh is to restore volunteers to quell internal disasters, the eighth is to prohibit laziness to strengthen the people's strength, the ninth is to carefully use troops to cultivate prestige, and the tenth is to prohibit the advance of troops to put an end to the hidden interference. These ten were all solutions to the root of the problem and deeply rooted in the current malpractices. He first took it to Prince Beijing to see. Prince Beijing was very impressed and reported it on his behalf. The emperor immediately summoned him and asked him many questions. Jia Zhen replied in detail, all of which were in line with the emperor's will. He also issued an edict that General Jia Zhen would be in charge of the affairs of the God's Strategy Office.

The next day, after giving thanks, the officials in the court room congratulated Jia Zhen and said some words of great importance. Jia Zhen had gone through hardships, so she was very modest.

The God's Policy Office was a yamen that was in charge of military affairs. At first, he thought that he would have a good show there. However, when he was appointed, he was disappointed. It turned out that of the two kings who led, one was Shou 'an Commandery Prince. He was younger than Prince Beijing and was rough and greedy, so he was always fooled by others.

One was Prince Dingliang, who seemed to be steady but was actually slippery. The yamen paid attention to socializing and recruiting. Some of those colleagues were recruited by bandits, and their thief nature had not changed. Some of them were used by the old officials, who were gentle and only knew that they were good. Other than the middle army, the other four armies all had their own leaders. Only the right army controlled Hou Hu to have Yu, but they had evil intentions. After spending a few days with them, Jia Zhen's enthusiasm for serving the country had long faded. Jia She and Jia Zheng only encouraged him to work hard and be loyal. They told him a lot about the heavenly grace and ancestral virtues, but they didn't know his suffering.

That day, You shi came over from the East Mansion and paid her respects to Lady Wang. Li Wan, Baochai, Tanchun, and the others saw You shi and congratulated her. "How would you know that your big brother is doing something stupid?!"”"Big Brother Zhen has always been practicing archery and horse riding so that he can contribute to the Emperor's family." It was much better to say that things were difficult than staying on the sea.”"I don't know the details of his matters either," Madam You said. From what he said, it was a hundred times harder than in the sea! He had been working in the coastal area for a long time, and he was just a useless person. Now, it was not a matter of one person. This person wanted to go east, and that person wanted to go west. He said it nicely on the surface, but there was an ambush in his bones, but what could he do?”"What's so difficult about that?" said Madam Wang. If we can do our best, we will do our best. If we can do our best, we will do our best. Where he couldn't reach, he could only listen to the heavens!”

"It's funny to say!" Madam You said. That time, we were bitten by a mad dog because we were playing with money and singing. Who would have known that this was happening right now? There was a candidate official who bought a singer and gave it to the young prince. Immediately, he released the provincial governor. There were also many people who praised the young prince for playing with money. If he followed them, he would be letting himself down. If she didn't follow them like this, she wouldn't be able to fit in. Where does this bitterness go?" "This situation won't last long," said Baochai."If someone doesn't correct them, I'm afraid they'll collapse!”

"Uncle Zhen also said that when the osmanthus flowers in Fang Garden bloom, he would like to invite Madam, sisters-in-law, and the girls over to admire the flowers and listen to a little play." She told me to reply to Madam first. Please give us face.”"I'm not sure if I'll be fine for two or three days," said Madam Wang. I also like lively places. As long as I can hold on for two days, I will definitely go. Brother Zhen is busy with work, don't trouble yourself for us.”As she spoke, Ping 'er walked over and said to Madam You,""Grandma, come over to our place. I've prepared some food for you. There's nothing to eat, so it's just a little token of our appreciation.”Madam You smiled and said," I don't have to worry. Grandma Feng has gone over, and there's also Grandma Ping. She won't be able to deprive me of food."”Then he went with Ping 'er.

It was already past the middle of the year, and the weather was getting colder. Tanchun moved back after two days because his son-in-law had urged him repeatedly. Xiangyun and Baochai repeatedly invited him to come here to admire the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Tanchun agreed. He was originally in a good mood and went home to take care of the trivial matters. He returned on the tenth day of the eighth month. He had originally wanted to invite these sisters to a gathering in the garden, but it just so happened that there were not enough people. Li Wen chose to leave the court at the end of August, and Li Qi helped Aunt Li prepare the dowry. Xing Xiuyan was also sick, so she was taking care of medicine at home. He couldn't come for a while. Baoqin had parents-in-law, and she had to celebrate the festival at home. Tanchun was a bit of a wet blanket.

Madam Wang then returned to the Hollow Crystal Pavilion. She liked the view of the water there and discussed with Jia Zheng to hold a family reunion banquet under the canopy. Brother Lan's daughter-in-law had already been taken to Liaodong. There were only Li Wan, Baochai, Tanchun, Xichun, Xiangyun, Pinger and others here, and they could barely sit at two tables. That night, the moon was bright, the clouds were rolling, and a mirror was in the sky. In addition, at the place near the water, the water was shining up and down, rippling with golden waves, making it seem especially clear. Because Jia Zheng was present, it was inconvenient for the people at the banquet to talk and laugh freely, so they calmed down a lot. Or TanChun song meaning to enjoy, choose Jia Zheng, Wang Furen like to listen to say. Jia Zheng never finished his meal. Madam Wang was afraid of the cold night, so she sat until the end of the meal and also sat in a small bamboo sedan chair.

Tanchun, Baochai, and Xiangyun had made an appointment to continue admiring the moon and composing poems after they left.

"The last couplet explained all the benefits of admiring the moon." If he did it again, it would definitely be too heavy, so he might as well change the topic.”Therefore, the three of them only leaned against the railing to admire the moon for a while before they dispersed.

There are hibiscus flowers all over the area of Liaoting Flower Xu. This autumn is especially warm and the hibiscus flowers bloom the most. One day, when Baochai passed by, she saw that the hibiscus flowers on the shore were all in full bloom. Blue smoke and pink mist, condensed resentment and coquettishness, unconsciously felt something in her heart, filled in a small poem. The words were:

Heavy steps shake the autumn shadow, five baht clothes floating smoke cold. I was used to Kongjiang in my life. At that time, I was originally a pair. Who can see the fragrance of the fragrance? In my dream I bid farewell to the east wind, My face is red with shame.

After he finished writing, he recited it himself. He remembered the poem of the predecessors who sang about the white lotus: The moon is white and the wind is clear." It was similar to the meaning of my words, so he couldn't help but sigh!

Just as he was about to put it away, the maids replied,"Aunt Shi is here."”Xiangyun walked in and saw the paper. She snatched it over and praised it deeply. He added,"Although Sister Bao wrote her own poem of hidden bitterness, the title is good. It's more interesting than the 'Willow Cow Ci' she wrote before." Why don't we start a 'Furong Ci Club?'”"If we want to start a society," said Baochai,"it's more interesting to have more people. Third Younger Sister had just returned, and it was hard to say whether Younger Sister Qin would come or not. Only Younger Sister Xing would definitely come. Wasn't that too little?”Xiang Yun said,"Let's split up and invite them. If they don't come, we can make up for them later." Didn't I make up for the begonia poem later?”

Baochai did not agree with him, so she had to send someone to invite him on horseback while preparing some food and wine. "There's still the club head and the overseer," said Xiang Yun.”Baochai quickly sent the maids to Daoxiang Village and Longcui Nunnery to invite them.

Li Wan and Xichun arrived first. Li Wan smiled and said,""You guys are so happy. Are the two of you starting a club?”Xiang Yun smiled,"There are fewer people, so you guys have to join in."”Xichun said,"That's a waste of time. When have I ever filled in the lyrics?"”"Don't listen to him," Baochai said with a smile."I've already sent people to invite him. He should be here soon."”

Just as they were talking, Xing Xiuyan came and was very happy to hear about the lyrics. He was about to write all kinds of tunes, roll them into paper balls, and everyone drew lots. Xiangyun, Xiuyan first picked up, he left the plot.

After two more meals, Tanchun and Baoqin arrived. They continued to draw lots and lit incense. Tanchun said,"That time, I said I wanted to fill in the hibiscus poem. Luckily, Sister Shi suggested it, so I forgot."”"If it weren't for that poem, I would have passed."”As he spoke, he took out a narrow yellow paper and wrote down the words and handed them to Xichun.

Baochai saw that it was the tune of "Moon on the West River" and smiled."Why do you have to play this solo? It seemed easy, but it was not easy to be outstanding.”Xiang Yun's poem was:

What is the green city in the sky? The brocade water in the world is full of affection. In the mirror, Xiao Niang is beautiful and beautiful, and she is very pitiful to get the shadow of Linqiong makeup. Therefore, the beauty of the garden is reduced, and the resentment of the empty river is clear. Last night the wind blew and the dew fell on the capital, and the clouds outside woke up with sad cries.

Tanchun also rushed to read it,"The lyrics are wonderful, but they're too sad." Those two lines really made people feel heartbroken!”"It's all thanks to him that we can get such a flat transfer," said Baochai.”

Baoqin picked up the " River Washing Sand " and thought for a long time, but she was reserved and refused to write. "The incense is almost finished," urged Baochai. He scribbled it out and did:

A mirror full of colorful Yang dance, Jiang Fei smiled and leaned on the new makeup. Pei Huan thought to herself! He praised the brocade cloud cage green quilt, secretly urged the jade dew to untie the silk dress. I don't know if my abundant face can't help the frost.

Everyone looked at him and said,"It's Xiao Xue after all. He did it so delicately."”"The second half is even better," Xiangyun said."The two lines of 'green quilt' and 'silk dress' are fluent and not out of place.”"The last sentence is even better!" The wonderful thing was that it was indeed a hibiscus, and other autumn flowers could not close.”Then he looked at Xiuyan's "Tang Duo Ling." The first two sentences were: For whom to keep the fragrant jade pendant, the beauty is the most resistant to autumn.

Tanchun clapped her hands and said,"The phrase 'beauty is the most resistant to autumn' is really meaningful."”"This topic should have been better," said Baochai.”Looking down again, it is: rely on the west wind to wash away all the sorrow. A mirror and a thousand make-ups compete for charm, unable to cover, Mulan boat.

Everyone praised him. Xiangyun said,"It's good, but I've said too much. How do I change the topic?"”So he looked at the second half of the song, which read: Cold face is also delicate, Shaohua let the water flow. I'll let you marry me and I'll be ashamed. Thirty-six Bay, where to go if spring does not arrive? Playing with pearls.

"Look at him," said Baochai,"the meaning of the second part of the song is getting deeper and deeper. It's rare to see his identity.”

Xiangyun said,"This poem is full of vigor and novelty. I'm afraid we'll have to push him to first place!"”

Tanchun only cared about what others had done and panicked when she saw that there was only one star left! He quickly went over to a few pieces and wrote down what he had filled in. It turned out to be "Zither Tune Lovesickness Guide". Everyone gathered around to look. The phrase was:

In the mirror is clearly the first spring, occupy the autumn color also accept people. In his later years, he had just finished his makeup, and he was proud of himself. Jinzhu once again met Hugh resentment farewell, pink smoke slightly thin willing to frown. Where laurel comes from, there is no intention of wearing a skirt.

Xiangyun and Baoqin both said,"This one isn't any worse than Tang Duo Ling. It's just a pity that the incense has already been finished."”"As long as it's good, it doesn't matter if it's fragrant."”

Just as everyone was about to ask Li Wan for her evaluation, Biyue walked over and said,""Grandpa Xiaolan is here and asked me to invite Grandma.”"He rushed back from afar. Is there anything urgent?" Li Wan asked.”"Grandpa Xiaolan didn't say." Looking at the smile on his face, it didn't seem like there was anything urgent.”Li Wan hurried back with Biyue. "Eldest Sister-in-law will be back soon," said Baochai."We're still waiting for dinner."”Li Wan hurriedly agreed and walked far away.

Here, everyone was still commenting on the lyrics. Some praised Xiuyan's extraordinary meaning, some praised Tanchun's style, some praised Baoqin's charm, and some praised the original work of the Lord of Turnip. They were even more touching and humble.

Bao Qin smiled." We rushed over and wrote the lyrics. We haven't seen what the hibiscus looks like yet."”"I saw him two days ago," Tanchun said,"and he just bared his mouth a little. I didn't expect it to drive so fast. Let's go and enjoy it together.”They all walked out of the yard together and walked to Flower Su. As expected, the hibiscus flowers were blooming even more brightly than before. "It's really time to start the Furong Society," said Xing Xiuyan.”"The hibiscus flowers in the north are rare," said Xiang Yun. Once it was covered with frost, those flowers shriveled. Fortunately, it was late autumn this year, and the weather had been warm these two days, so it was driving so well.”"I heard there's a hibiscus goddess here," Bao Qin said with a smile."I think he's keeping it for us to write lyrics."”Everyone sat on the hexagonal pavilion by the water for a while before returning to Happy Red Courtyard. By this time the tables had been set, and Baochai hurriedly sent someone to urge Li Wan to sit down with her.

Tanchun asked Brother Lan why he came back? Li Wan said yes: This time the emperor has an edict, called each jiedushi recommend talent, that Liaodong jiedushi will recommend him to answer the edict. He had come to the capital this time to prepare for an audience. When everyone heard this, they all congratulated Li Wan. "The military governor is indeed fond of talent," Tanchun said."Brother Lan will certainly have some advice." If not, he had only been gone for a few months. Why would he be singled out?”"Eldest Sister-in-law," said Baochai,"we've made a good decision for you, haven't we? If he went overseas to collect poems, he might not be able to come back at this time.”"Big Sister-in-law is really going to be an old lady. How should she thank us?"”

During the meal, they kept talking, making Li Wan very embarrassed. She only said,"This time, we still have to summon him. This kid hasn't gone through these things before. Does he know if he's obeying the imperial edict or not?”

While everyone was talking, two dishes had already been served, and Baochai made way for them. Tanchun raised her cup and drank. She recalled the year she celebrated Baoyu's birthday and how lively it was to drink on a spring night. He couldn't help but feel sad! "We haven't gathered here since Second Brother's birthday." Thinking back to the people who sat there, several of them had become immortals!”Li Wan said,"Then when we went back to that flower name order, Younger Sister Lin drew the lotus flower." He was so delicate and thin, so he was very similar.”"If I were to see her now," said Baochai,"she might not look like a hibiscus, but rather like a pink peony.”

Bao Qin was surprised and asked,""How can I see Sister Lin?" Baochai could only tell him about her dream of the Great Illusionary Land. Xiangyun saw the western self-propelled boat on the boat. Pointing at them, he laughed,"Look at that self-propelled boat, it's still bent over there. They've become immortals." This thing can only be used to make toys for my brother.”

"Don't be too happy," Bao Qin said."Maybe Sister Lin took a bicycle boat and came to settle the score with you."”Everyone laughed. Baochai felt even more dejected!

"If there's anyone in front of us who knows how to help the spirit," Tanchun said,"we can invite them all over and make poems together. It'll be interesting."”"Sister Xing knows how to do it," said Xiang Yun. Xing Xiuyan said," That was all because of Master Miao. I can only be an assistant. How can I be considered a master?"”Tanchun said,"The Fuji is nothing more than those two talismans. Catching talismans isn't a joke. If you grab the Divine Path, you'll be in trouble." We only need the invitation talisman. It doesn't matter if we can't.”Xing Xiuyan said,"If we really want to help, we still have to prepare the sand table raft. It's too late today."”After the banquet, everyone sat for a while before dispersing.

After Jia Lan arrived in the capital, he was busy greeting guests and had to go to the garden to meet the military aircraft.

At this time, the Emperor had already repaired two parts of the imperial garden in the suburbs to serve the Empress Dowager. Every year, he would work in the garden from spring to autumn and only return to the palace in winter. Of course, the ministers had to follow him. Jia Lan had to return to the military plane due to the official business brought by the Liaodong military governor, so he had to rush to the garden. When Jia Lan came back to see Li Wan that day, she looked rather displeased. Why?
