The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 619

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Zhao returned to Jinmen. His mansion was upgraded from Uncle Yunyang's mansion to Duke Cheng's mansion, and Lin Daiyu became the Duke's wife.

Not only that, Chen Zhao was very happy, and Jia Rong's two aunts, the second sister You and the third sister You, were packaged and delivered.

A month later, under the personal escort of Xue Pan and Jia Huan, Xue Baochai and Jia Tanchun also came to Jinmen to marry Chen Zhao.

According to the emperor's decree, the two of them are talented, gentle and virtuous, and they can be equal wives.

Anyway, Cheng Guogong Chen Zhao is not only young and strong, but also has a big business, with tens of millions of property, enough to support several beautiful girls.

Even more gratifying is that Lin Daiyu is pregnant.

Looking at Sister Lin, who is as beautiful as water, not only is she as beautiful as a fairy, but her belly is also getting bigger day by day. Chen Zhao is not hungry but has a strong desire to conquer.

As a result, You's two concubines were radiant every day, and Baochai and Tanchun were like delicate flowers every day.

In addition, Xichun also came to Jinmen Chengguo's mansion.

She is the head of Langhuan County and the wife of Cheng Guogong's wife, and she works in front of Daiyu every day.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Xichun is still young, and when she grows up, she must be Chen Zhao's favorite food.

……

The weather was getting colder, and the situation in the capital also calmed down.

Emperor Xiaode's political strategy is very superb, and he has his own confidant physician, so he pays great attention to health preservation, so he knows that as long as there are no accidents, he can live for many years.

That being the case, in many cases it is not necessary to chase and fight fiercely, but to use sausage-cutting tactics to clean up the opponent bit by bit.

Therefore, after eradicating Nanwang and Zhen Guogong's mansion, he did not follow the vines, nor did he get involved, but stopped.

Since the emperor had no intention of expanding the involvement, those nobles who were frightened because the Niu family was raided gradually came to their senses and began to live a arrogant and luxurious life again. For example, Jia She would either drink with his little wife every day, or go to his little wife to drink. .

Because Wang Xifeng lives in the East Courtyard, she really can't understand this, and Baoyu's marriage is approaching, so she and Xing Yanyan ran to Yongchangbo's mansion to hide.

Although Sun Shaozong was named an earl, he did not move out because of his deep relationship with his eldest brother.

At this time, Yingchun was married to Sun Shaozong. The latter's sister-in-law, Ziyan, came from a low family background, but because she and Sun Shaozu had suffered together and was virtuous and generous, she was the master of the backyard.

At this time, both Sun Shaozu and Sun Shaozong were on errands, and they were not expected to return for two months, so the inner courtyard of the mansion was run by these people.

Ziyan, Yingchun, Wang Xifeng, Xing Yanyan and others were chatting together, and at the same time, everyone made fun of Ziyan's son Sun Yongyi.

Although Yingchun is dull, but Sun Shaozong treats her very well, and Xing Yanyan is also very smart, so there is no barrier between everyone.

It's just that she never expected that Jia Yingchun would be hit from the very beginning.

It turns out that although she is dull, she is still gentle and amiable. She thinks she can take good care of the child, so she is very attentive when teasing Jia Shuo, but she is beaten to pieces by Sister Qiao.

Qiaojie and Sun Yongyi are better, they are older and can speak clearly,

But Jia Cha is still young, only a few months old now, babbling non-stop, hands and feet, looking cute, but soon started crying, Yingchun panicked one head and two big ones, calling her nanny.Sister Qiao looked at her western watch and said calmly: "It's time, they must be hungry." Yingchun was taken aback for a moment, and sure enough the nanny came over to pick up Brother Chang and went down to feed him. I crawled and made trouble.

Although Yingchun felt that her dignity as an aunt had been "provoked", she only thought it was a fluke for Qiaojie.It wasn't until Jia Kuang started crying again, and Sister Qiao said, "It stinks, it's time to change the diaper." Only then did Yingchun realize that as an aunt, she really wasn't as good at taking care of people as Sister Qiao, a sister.

Yingchun suddenly became depressed.Xing Yanyan at the side held back a smile and called the nanny to change the young master's diaper.Yingchun felt that she should go up to help, but she was so smoked that she hid aside.Sister Qiao comforted her and said, "Auntie, my brother is still young and can't take care of many things by himself. Mom said, it's good to grow up. Auntie, don't dislike them."

Yingchun wanted to cry but had no tears. Her aunt was actually no better than eight-year-old Qiaojieer in terms of taking care of children.

……

The young sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, and they have endless gossip.

After chatting for a while, because Yingchun and Xing Yanyan were in front of them, they chatted about Jia's affairs.

Finally, I heard the news that Mrs. Wang's family is now the only one in Jia's house.

Yingchun asked casually: "The old lady is far-sighted and capable. Could it be that she can't control the second wife now?"

Wang Xifeng smiled wryly and said: "The old ancestors in our house can't take care of the second wife, the second sister, Baoyu's marriage is settled."

"Huh? When did it happen?"

"Just a few days ago." Wang Xifeng talked about what happened: some time ago, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang went to the palace to meet Xiande Concubine, and Yuan Chun had clearly told Jia Mu that she had heard about the beauty of Xia Jingui, a girl from Osmanthus Xia's family. All good, since the marriage is set, let's get married as soon as possible.After hearing this, Jia's mother was indifferent and didn't say much. Now Miss Xia is definitely the second grandmother of Bao.

After Wang Xifeng finished speaking, she smiled and said to Yingchun: "The second wife only thinks about the millionaire Xia family and despises the poor family. I heard that when Sister Lin got married and gave her a dowry, the second wife knew about it and broke many blue and white porcelains. Woolen cloth?.

Yingchun just smiled slightly, shook her head and said nothing.

As the owner of the backyard, Zi Yan had given birth to a son, and she obviously dared to say something. At this time, she sighed: "The second wife in the house is in trouble. In fact, even without Sister Lin's dowry, she should know Master Chen's ability to make money. .”

Nanny Li interjected: "The old lady is thinking about county master Lin, but the Lin family has pearls and jade, so why would they choose rubble?"

Wang Xifeng nodded and said: "In terms of judging people, ten second wives can't compare with the old ancestor, and she is partial to Baoyu, and wants to give Baoyu the best in everything. However, the second wives rely on the empress in the palace and refuse to give up. Fu low, insisting on confronting the old ancestors. Now it's good, even if you don't like the Xue family, you just married the Xia family, and Baoyu is incompetent, so I don't know what will happen in the future."

Xing Yanyan smiled and said: "I heard that although Miss Xia is young, she can support the family business. It seems that the second master Bao can pick up the treasure. Maybe this golden and jade marriage can become a good talk."

Yingchun nodded and said: "If one can support the family business, I'm afraid the second wife won't be able to handle it. It might be another battle between dragons and tigers. In fact, if Baoyu can have a daughter-in-law who can support the family business, it is also his good fortune." Yin asked again: "Where's Sister Yun? Why haven't I heard from her recently?"

Wang Xifeng sighed: "She was taken away by the historian and married."

Yingchun was surprised and said: "When did it happen? Why didn't you say anything about it? When is the date? We can add makeup, right?"

Wang Xifeng sighed: "She and Baoyu played together every day. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the two of them stayed up until midnight together to sing and play alone. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bumped into each other. You know that in our house, the mouth is the most broken. This The matter was spread out by the subordinates and others, and the second wife was furious, and killed a few of the most vicious mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, to stop the news from spreading. Then, regardless of the face of the old ancestors, she used Someone sent a letter to Mrs. Shi. After receiving the letter, Mrs. Shi immediately sent a few strong women to Beijing, saying that she was going to take office and get married, and dragged her away. Said that she had already got married at the end of October, and the ancestors were taken aback. The second wife stood up and said that Mrs. Shi had sent someone to say in October that she had also bought a gift, but at that time the ancestors She had the wind and cold, so she didn't dare to disturb her, so she didn't mention it. Later, when the New Year was approaching, she was busy and forgot about it. Today, the person who came said this and remembered it. After speaking, she knelt down and apologized to her ancestors."

Yingchun was dumbfounded: "Second wife, this..., my God, she, she is too bold, right?"

Xing Xiyan nodded secretly.

Based on her knowledge, she also felt that Mrs. Wang did the right thing.

But more of a sympathy.

It's hard to be a mother with such a son who doesn't understand anything.

Wang Xifeng sighed: "If sister Yun didn't do too much, why would the second wife be like this? Second sister, you don't know that the second wife killed four wives and six daughters-in-law on that day, and even watched it herself. The whole family sold seven or eight elderly people in our mansion to stop the rumors in the mansion. After all, this matter is too big and too shameful. The ancestors also knew that the second wife had resentment in their hearts, so they didn't see her like this. What did you say about her? I just ordered Yuanyang to make up a private gift for Sister Yun. My sister-in-law and I also made up for it. The former County Master Lin heard about it and asked me to send it to her. If you want to make up for it , give it to me too, anyway, I'll ask Lin Zhixiao to give it along, it's also cheap."

When Yingchun heard about it, she quickly ordered someone to send a message to Siqi, ordering her to buy a generous amount of make-up and send it over.

Wang Xifeng said: "Second sister, according to me, don't treat her too kindly. She is just a careless person. The Shi family is gone, and the Cheng family she married also came to give the New Year's gift. She is fine, and nothing is given. After sending a letter back, the ancestors burst into tears after reading it."

"Ah?" Yingchun was surprised: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Wang Xifeng said: "I don't think I feel wronged. She wrote that the rules of the family she married were very bad. Mr. Cheng's mother and wife spoke vulgar words, and she would say some nonsense from time to time, which made her uncomfortable. The two I am used to suffering again, and suddenly I am rich, and I behave like a nouveau riche. Everything is gold and jade. I don’t eat rice every day unless I pay tribute, and I don’t drink tea unless I pay tribute. They don't know those elegant ways, and they made it like a cow's drink, which is extremely ugly. Later, after hearing her talk about our family's rules, they clamored for big wild ginseng to make ginseng Yangrong pills. And her sister-in-law said yes Mei Hanlin's daughter also came from a poor background. Although she learned the rules from the nanny later, she was still half-baked. Just like that, the family thought that her sister-in-law was very nice. Looking at her sister-in-law, that person has shallow eyelids. Seeing that the jewelry she wears looks good, he has to borrow it every time she goes out. Say bad things about her in front of her family, say she is a well-behaved girl, and look down on them."

Yingchun said: "If it really is as Sister Yun said in her letter, she is suffering. The family is not right, and everyone can't say that they can't go to the same family. It's really unbearable."

Wang Xifeng sighed: "What she did before not only chilled the Shi family, but also drove herself to a dead end. Otherwise, the Shi family's aunt would have engaged her in the capital at the beginning. But she is uneasy, but she is very happy." Jumping, I made my reputation extremely bad, no one asked to marry her, even the second wife was unwilling to talk about her, the historian had no choice but to appoint such a family for her out of face. Sigh, now that the name has been determined, what else can I do? What to do? I just have to get through the day."

"That's not all, our Miss Yun also sued Aunt Shijia in the letter, saying that not only did she not send anyone to see her, she said she was wronged when she returned home three times, not only did Aunt not want to make decisions for her, He also said that she is a member of the family after leaving the court. How can she be happy? The serious thing is to win over a good son-in-law and have a son to stabilize her position. She also taught her that she doesn't care about the rules of other people's family. , I have to do my own rules well, and I can't leave people talking about it. The old lady and the wife of the Cheng family are her grandmother and mother-in-law, and they are the elders. How can she, a junior, criticize the elders behind their backs? It's too bad Know the rules."

Yingchun was silent for a while, and said for a while: "Why is Sister Yun still such a temper. What Aunt Shijia said is the truth, how did she learn it as a lesson?"

Wang Xifeng said disdainfully: "She is just like that, she doesn't know the general idea, and she wants to do everything. She has lost her relatives, and she doesn't know how to repent."

"After the ancestor read the letter, he asked our second master to write a letter, saying that sister Yun should listen to Aunt Shijia's words and not be willful. He also told her that the mansion would send someone to visit her, and told her not to worry about that Mei Hanlin. As for the family, the Mei family and the Yun family are relatives of the Ping'an state festival, and our family also has contacts with the Yun family. She has already written to the second master and asked the Yun family to make peace, so that the Mei family can teach her family well. My aunt also said that the second master would stop by her place to see her when he returned to Beijing, so that the Cheng family would have to neglect her."

Yingchun opened her mouth wide, and said for a while, "Old ancestor... is this going to slap the Shi family in the face?"

Wang Xifeng sighed and said, "I said the same thing. The second wife said even more bluntly that sister Yun's surname is Shi, and this should be a family matter of the Shi family. How can the second master come forward? The old ancestor got angry and said that the second wife was not filial. The frightened Baoyu knelt down to beg for mercy, and begged the second wife to say that sister Yun is pitiful, and let the second wife take pity on her. I watched from the side, and the second wife's veins burst out of anger."

Nanny Li said: "Miss Yun is married, can Second Master Bao beg Second Wife to show mercy, Second Wife's blue veins are coming out of anger."

Wang Xifeng said: "That's not the case. The scene was really chaotic that day, and the second wife regressed later, but she was only willing to let the second master stop by to visit the Shijia and Sister Yun when he returned to Beijing, and remind the Shijia. The other second wives would not Ken complied, but just knelt on the ground, begging the old ancestor to look out for the sake of the empress in the palace, not to meddle in other people's affairs, and cut off the relationship between our family and the Shi family."

Yingchun hurriedly asked: "What happened later?"

Wang Xifeng said: "What can happen afterwards? The second wife went to the hairpin ring to kowtow to plead guilty, and moved all the empresses out of the palace. What else can the old ancestor do? Naturally, he obeyed her."

Yingchun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The second wife has selfish intentions, but in terms of facts, the second wife did the right thing. Second sister-in-law, sister Bao, don't blame me for criticizing the elders behind the scenes. Not only will it hurt the harmony of our family and the relatives of the Shi family, but it will also harm Sister Yun—if this happens, the Shi family will really ignore Sister Yun, what can she expect in the future?"

Wang Xifeng sighed: "That's not the case. I was worried that Sister Yun Niu Xinzuo was too used to it and couldn't understand our painstaking efforts. So I thought about letting Lin Zhixiao go, one is to give gifts, and the other is to have a good relationship with her Let’s talk about it, let her understand some things more or less. After leaving the cabinet, many things are out of her hands, so she should be good at it anyway.”

Grandma Li shook her head and said, "Second Grandma, she won't look back unless she suffers more."

Wang Xifeng said: "I have watched her grow up since I was a child, and now she is not living well, no matter what, we can't just watch. Besides, she has suffered a lot now, I will ask someone to tell her that , Maybe she suddenly understood it, but I don’t know.”

Xing Yanyan said: "If she really understood it like this, she wouldn't write like this."

Before Wang Xifeng understood, Ziyan sighed: "Sister Xing is right. If Miss Yun really suffered a lot and got a little enlightened, she would not write such a letter. If such a complaint is passed on to historians, The Cheng family, her life is really over."

Wang Xifeng said hurriedly: "We sisters and two wives were the only ones present that day. Yuanyang is a tight-lipped person. I also told the second master that he should..."

Nanny Li interjected: "The second wife is willing to give up after eating such a big meal like the ancestor's?"

Wang Xifeng was taken aback for a moment, but couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Yingchun thought for a while, and said: "Second sister-in-law, when you ask Lin Zhixiao to send the makeup gift, you should report our names by the way. There are the second master Lian, my master, and sister Lin, the Duke's wife and Lang. The name of Huan County Lord is there, and I think I can protect her for a while. What happens in the future depends on her fortune. The second sister-in-law also asked the people who went to explain the stakes to her. It is best to say something serious and scare her more. When you startle, Sister Yun doesn't have a plan in her heart, and when you say that, she will feel aggrieved, and she won't be so outspoken anymore."

……

The sister world of Dream of Red Mansions is naturally full of scheming and exciting, but Chen Zhao doesn't care about this, he wants to devote all his energy to promoting the opening of Tianjin Port.

The opening of the port of Jinmen involves a lot of things, and of course it is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

At the very least, a unified and comprehensive taxation system must be implemented in Jinmen.

Therefore, the yamen in Jinmen who can only pluck hairs have become a hindrance.
