The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

a certain study.

"Teacher! The plan has come true! Jia Rong was really fooled. She was deprived of her rank and exiled for three thousand miles. Even the Ningguo Mansion was gone. According to reports, there are already many old friends from the Jia family who want to draw a line with the Jia family." " Shida said excitedly to the old man.

The old man nodded: "Jia's family has a disadvantage in virtue, and ordinary people are unwilling to have a close friendship with them."

"The teacher really planned out a strategy and planned that Jia Rong to death." Shi Da said excitedly.

The old man sighed and said: "Back then Rong Ning was such a hero, but this younger generation is so unbearable. This Jia Rong is such a bastard, even if I can't wait to take action, with his temperament, how can he guard Xiao San with peace of mind? year?"

"What the teacher said is true. Jia Rong was born to be a second-generation patriarch. The Ningguo Mansion is in his hands. The downfall is only a matter of time." Shi Da bowed.

The old man pondered for a while: "Speaking of the descendants of the Jia family, there is one person that I have to mention."

"The teacher is talking about that Jade Young Master Jia Jue?" Shi Da asked.

The old man nodded: "That's right. This son is full of talent. He often does unexpected things. His Majesty bestows you with a royal fan and a bullfighting suit. His family is prosperous. He should be the No. 1 descendant of the Jia family."

Shi Da laughed when he heard this: "Teacher, you are worrying too much. I am afraid that Jia Jue's imperial fan and bullfighting suit will disappear."

"Oh? Why is that?" asked the old man.

"The teacher doesn't know, this Jia Jue is boasting in front of His Majesty and all the adults, saying that he can kill locusts with sound, if not, he will give Yan Jin the imperial fan and bullfighting uniform." Shi Da smiled all over his face. Said.

The old man frowned when he heard the words: "He did this because he had something to rely on. However, the theory of killing locusts with sound is unheard of."

Shi Da sneered and said: "Teacher was too worried. At that time, he heard some folk remedies for eliminating locusts from nowhere, so he wanted to use this as evidence to eliminate the plague of locusts and win the round."

The old man nodded slowly and sighed slightly: "Looking at it this way, this descendant of the Jia family is just like Jia Rong, they are all ignorant and incompetent."

Shi Da hurriedly asked: "Teacher, what I'm waiting for next is..."

The old man waved his hand: "If you act too hastily, you will lose your position, and it won't be too late to make plans after Jia Jue loses his bullfight uniform."

Shida was overjoyed when he heard the words, Jia Jue lost his bullfight uniform?Isn't it just a matter of waiting a few days?

……

Imperial City, Kunning Palace.

"Has it ever been better?" Zhao Qi sat by the bed and asked the queen.

"Your Majesty, didn't the imperial physician say that the poison has been cured, and you only need to recuperate for a few days. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, so don't come here every day." The queen said to Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi smiled: "It's okay, I can't be busy all the time, I have to get some air."

Seeing that Zhao Qi's expression was slightly haggard, the queen couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty is worried about the locust plague?"

Zhao Qi sighed and nodded: "Yes, the plague of locusts is raging and cannot be stopped. It really worries me."

Seeing this, the queen also looked a little worried: "Isn't there anything civil and military in the Manchu Dynasty can do?"

"There is a way, but it's a pity that it's a drop in the bucket, but it's useless." Zhao Qi's expression was full of disappointment.

The queen looked at him, and suddenly asked tentatively: "Didn't you say that someone came up with a new method?"

Zhao Qi was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Zhao Jing beside him: "You can tell the truth."

He naturally knew that the empress was talking about Jia Jue, and the empress had been recuperating in her room for the past few days, so she could only hear the news from Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing stuck out her tongue when she heard the words, her pretty face flushed slightly.

Although she had been by the queen's side during this time, she still paid close attention to Jia Jue.

After hearing about Jia Jue's extermination of locusts, she was also a little anxious. If Jia Jue really lost his imperial fan and bullfighting suit, it would be a huge blow to him.

So, after thinking about it, she told the queen about it. If something happened to Jia Jue, the queen would help out.

"Your Majesty, Jia Jue is my savior. How can I ignore his affairs?" the queen said to Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi shook his head at her: "The empress doesn't know something, his methods are too extreme..."

Having said that, he paused, and began to consider his words.

After a while, he just said: "It's really too unique."

"How is it unique?" the queen asked.

"He said that he could kill locusts with sound, and he could kill locusts with bagpipes, but the bagpipes he made didn't make a sound when blown." Zhao Qi said with a frown.

The queen and Zhao Jing glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, the flute that can't play?Is this still a flute?
Zhao Jing said hastily: "He is not a person who talks nonsense, so the bagpipe must have another mystery."

"You are facing him." Zhao Qi gave her a deep look.

Zhao Jing panicked, and quickly said: "I don't know about others, but when he rescued the empress, didn't anyone understand him?"

Zhao Qi snorted softly: "If he hadn't saved the queen, would you think I would have allowed him to mess around?"

The queen laughed and said, "Who hasn't been young and frivolous yet? If you suffer a setback this time, it's a good thing. You can study with peace of mind in the future, so that you can share your worries for your majesty in the future."

"That's all. How can I be harsh on him if the queen intercedes for him like this." Zhao Qi looked at the queen and said.

The Queen and Zhao Jing's eyes lit up when they heard the words. With Zhao Qi's words, Jia Jue should not be held accountable.

At this time, Liu Tian suddenly walked in from the room in a hurry and handed Zhao Qi a memorial.

Zhao Qi took it and looked at it, his face suddenly darkened:
The scope of the locust plague has expanded, and many crops have been destroyed.

He was anxious and angry, what should he do?
……

Beijing, Yuelai Restaurant.

"Brother Wang, have you ever heard about the unfilial son Jia Rong of Ningguo Mansion?"

"Of course I've heard that the Jia family has a family of two males, which is unspeakably noble, but who would have known that there are such unworthy descendants."

"Yeah, who would have thought of that? But apart from being unfilial to Jia Rong, the Jia family also produced a arrogant and ignorant person."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"It's Jia Jue, who is known as a master of both poetry and calligraphy, and who was born in high school."

"Ah? Why is this?"

"Then Jia Jue is actually talking nonsense in front of the emperor and all the senior scholars, Shang Shu, saying that he can kill locusts with sound."

"How is this possible? Isn't this the biggest joke in the world?"

Such conversations can be seen everywhere in the capital, and spread at an unconventional speed, even covering up the matter of Jia Rong, and became the talk of the people in the capital after dinner. Jia Jue also became the laughing stock of the people in the capital, and was brought out from time to time Make a joke.

……

A few days later, Heyuan County.

This is the place where the locust army must pass through.

Thousands of people stood outside the city, holding various tools in their hands, looking at the raging flames in the distance with serious faces.

This is the flame array they specially set up to stop the locusts, and it is also the only way to prevent and repel the locusts so far.

Buzz!

Not long after, a black cloud that covered the sky and the sun came flying in the sky.

This is the army of locusts.

In their shocked eyes, the locusts simply ignored the flames and rushed straight here.

"Do it!" Someone yelled.

All the people waved the tools in their hands and hit the locusts in the air.

But even if they kill hundreds or thousands of locusts, this is a drop in the bucket for the locust swarm, and it doesn't hurt at all.

A crowd of people watched the locusts pass them and flew into the fields, they were angry and sad, and many of them cried out in despair.

The dealer is their life, how can they survive without the dealer.

When the locusts were about to wreak havoc, suddenly a rider came galloping from a distance, and he shouted loudly, throwing something among the people:
"I am the court's envoy to catch locusts! Blowing the bagpipes can kill locusts!"

A desperate citizen looked down at the thing on the ground. He suddenly gritted his teeth, picked it up, put it in his mouth, and blew it desperately...
