Honglou, I became Jia Lian?Fortunately, there is a system!

Chapter 137 Going out to celebrate the New Year, Zhang Ju is about to retire!
In fact, it was a little unruly for Jia Lian to bring Wang Xifeng, an ordinary wife, out to pay New Year's greetings, it's just that the relatives of the family took it as a normal situation to save face.

On the contrary, many women in the back house envied Wang Xifeng very much, and wished to let their own daughters take her place. It is really rare that Ping's wife can be hurt like this!
And I heard that Wang Xifeng is also helping Qin Keqing in the housekeeping, a small part of the power in the Rongguo Mansion is now in her hands, so it should not be underestimated.

The little Mingzhu of the grandfather's family really likes her two sister-in-laws, after all, she can get two gifts every New Year's day from now on!

Jia Lian led the two daughter-in-laws to kowtow to their eighty-year-old grandfather, and was helped up by the smiling old man. It can be seen that Zhang Ju is also very satisfied with the two grandsons and daughter-in-laws.

Today, the two of them are wearing a moonlight white silk brocade gown, and the other is wearing a light red water-colored cloak of soft smoke, like two fairies who came from the moon palace.

"My little Lian'er has also grown up and got married. If your mother knows about it, she must be as happy as me. The three of you will be well from now on. Now that Lian'er is going to do big things, granddaughter-in-laws need to spend more time thinking about it." Take care of the back house..."

Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng knew that Jia Lian's grandfather was the second assistant of the court and a great scholar in the world, but they never thought that the old man would have such a loving (nagging) side.

Especially Wang Xifeng, in her impression, this kind of big man who has reached the sky should be majestic, similar to Wang Ziteng's style in the Wang family.But I don't know that when Zhang Ju's level is reached, the behavior of showing off his prestige and setting rules in front of his relatives is really inferior.

Jia Lian knew that the reason why Grandpa was like this was partly because the old man would be begging for bones to become an official in the next year. Zhang Ju would definitely not stay in Shenjing City after he became an official, but would have to return to his hometown in Jiangzuo for the elderly. ...

So in this way, Zhang Ju will not have many days to see Jia Lian in the future, and it is regrettable that although he has witnessed his marriage, he cannot see Jia Lian to have a child.He also knew that Jia Lian's memorial was a bit of a joke, understood Jia Lian's thoughts, and did not express his expectations.

On the contrary, the eldest uncle and the younger uncle, the grandfather returned to his hometown when he became an official, and their family members, the main wife and the son temple must follow and serve, that is to say, the two boys of the uncle's family and the little Mingzhu had to follow Zhang Ju back to Jiangzuo.

Jia Lian looked at the somewhat sad grandfather, and smiled slightly, [The Jade of the Azure Dragon] turned into a two-palm-sized "Nine Heavens Real Demon Repelling God Shuttle" that was more appreciated by people at that time. Little Mingzhu, who was playing "silently" with the half-sized wolf, paid close attention to it.

The "Devil Demon Shuttle" flashed slightly, and in Zhang Ju's slightly squinted eyes and "silent" vigilance, he came in front of the little pearl outside the courtyard in an instant, and the outer layer of the Otoki Azure Dragon Cover of [Blue Dragon Jade] turned into It looks like an emerald green gourd the same size as two palms.

"Zhang Mingzhu, let me call you, do you dare to agree!"

"..."

"Ah! Grandpa, help me, Brother Lian is going to use the gourd of the Supreme Lord to take me in!!!"

"Hahaha~"

The "Journey to the West" of the Ming Dynasty was also widely circulated in the back houses of the powerful class in the Daqing Dynasty, especially the stories about gods, demons and ghosts were deeply loved by children.

As the only daughter of the third generation of the Zhang family, little Mingzhu was loved as much as Jia Lian's mother, the Zhang family, when she was young.

In addition to playing together, she is naturally familiar with such legendary picture books as Journey to the West, so when she heard the familiar lines, the little girl screamed excitedly and rushed to the old man for help.

Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng couldn't help but glance at him reproachfully with pretty winking eyes, this narrow...

Even the younger sister of the uncle's family was not spared, but this also showed the closeness between Jia Lian and the grandfather's family, and the two daughters let go of some restraints in their hearts.

……

After a long commotion, Little Mingzhu hugged the "Taishang Laojun's income gourd" tightly in the envious eyes of the two brothers who were attracted by the noise.

Taking advantage of the little ones calming down a bit, Zhang Ju asked Jia Lian:

"Lian'er, what is this?"

"Hehe~ This is my grandson's second Taoist artifact [The Azure Dragon Jade]. It has great magical powers. It can not only allow a wisp of my grandson's soul to live in it for a long time, but also transform into various forms and fly away."

"Even if you go back to Jiangzuo in the future, Suier can control it to see you!"

The first half of the sentence came from Jia Lian's mouth, but the second half of the sentence came from the [Blue Dragon Jade] in Xiao Mingzhu's arms.

Little Mingzhu was so shocked that she almost threw out the "precious gourd" in her arms.

"Two unrivaled Taoist artifacts? You, Lian'er?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson has a sense of proportion. Now that my grandson's cultivation base supports these two Taoist artifacts, there is just a little leeway, and it doesn't matter."

Jia Lian naturally understands what the old man is worried about. A person who refines a god to control a Taoist weapon is not just refined and finished. Daily maintenance and mobilization of spells need to consume the power of the [God] attribute. If Jia Lian is not concerned, there is The soul power provided to him by the endless monsters in the "game world" has long been drained by the two peerless Taoist weapons!
"That's good, you are a good boy, and I don't need to remind you of many things. It's just that your various actions overseas are really just to avoid conflict with the royal family? The old man always feels that there seems to be a lot of deep meaning .”

"Grandpa is worthy of being the second assistant of the court..."

Looking at this wise elder, Jia Lian took out an A1-sized world map from the system space and spread it out in front of the old man.

"Grandpa, please look, this is the land of China, and here is the barbarians of Europa, the land in the far west. Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, these barbarians of Europa have started burning, killing and looting on the ocean, wantonly occupying all parts of the world. Promised land.

According to the information, the barbarian behavior of that generation is not simply rude and barbaric, it is comparable to the barbarians at the end of Changbai Mountain.The grandson is worried that if Daqing still keeps his eyes on the three-acre land of his family, he may regret it too late in the future!

The so-called God does not take, but suffers the blame! "

Zhang Ju's complexion gradually became dignified following Jia Lian's narration.

"Grandpa, look again, even if my Daqing can continue to be strong, but in the future, if those barbarians occupy all the continents and islands in these oceans, then even if they can't get in, my Daqing, here, here and here will be linked. , can lock up all the room for my future outward development in Daqing for a long time."

Jia Lian's fingers slid across the map one by one the first island chain, the second island chain, and the third island chain that were planned and defined by some people with ulterior motives in later generations. Every time they pointed at one place, Zhang Ju's face became solemn. point……

Then, with Zhang Ju's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, Jia Lian swiped his fingers from the bay to Luzon, Manila, Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, and the West Asian Peninsula, and finally put his hand on the Annan provinces. land.

"If we can start here now, at least we can hold the so-called first and second island chains in our hands early, and even attack Annan and other places from the ocean. Leave a lot of room for maneuver.

It's just that Sun'er was worried that the imperial army would be anticlimactic like the previous Annan battles, so he suggested restarting the enfeoffment system! "

Before the Daqing Dynasty, there were two expeditions to Annan in the past few decades, but in the end it was due to various geographical reasons and domestic concerns about the power of some generals, and finally gave up this easy-to-reach or even mouth-to-mouth every time. Fat.

Now Jia Lian puts it bluntly, we just want to enfeoff the land and become the king, will you give it to me?

If you don't give it to us, you will overthrow your ignorant royal to the ground first, and you are working on the next plan!

"I see, the island chain... I have been pondering over this map for the past few days, but I have never thought that there is such a possibility. It seems that the policy of banning the sea in the past is not necessarily correct.

It's just... Lian'er, your inference is still a bit shocking, but the four massacres in Luzon are indeed worthy of attention.

Forget it, I'm an old man who is about to retire soon, so I don't have to worry so much, I will let your two uncles..."

Grandpa Zhang Ju was about to say something more, but the eldest aunt Xu walked in at this moment. Xu was about 34 or 11 years old, with a round oval face, very delicate eyebrows, and a beauty of nearly ninety percent , dignified and generous.She and Jia Lian's uncle have two sons, one is 13 years old and the other is [-] years old. The two boys have been studying hard by the old man in recent years, and they can't relax on weekdays.

When Mrs. Xu came to the front, she first gave a gentle smile to the two nephews and daughters-in-law who got up to greet her, and then said to her nephew Jia Lian and father-in-law Zhang Ju with a thin grin:

"Father, don't you look at what day it is today. What time is it? Is it possible that you plan to keep your nephew at home for dinner? Of course our family is eager to do so, but if the old lady of Rongguo Mansion has an opinion, it will be fine." Not pretty."

"That's right. Today is indeed not a good time to talk about things. Lian'er should go back first, lest the old lady of Rongguo Mansion send someone to ask."

When Jia Lian heard the words, she also got up and wanted to say goodbye to her grandfather and aunt. Today is the first day of the new year, and this time she is out to pay New Year's greetings. It is really not good to stay for a long time, otherwise the old lady will send someone to look for her later.

[Blue Dragon Jade], who was played in the hands of Little Mingzhu who couldn't put it down, spoke again:
"Little Mingzhu, do you want to go stubborn with my brother's house?"

Little Mingzhu's beautiful and immature childlike face was slightly taken aback again, but after a short while, she very sensiblely returned the "Taishang Laojun Cui Gourd" in her arms to Qin Keqing who was beside her.

"Brother Lian is bad, Mingzhu doesn't go to your house, and only in the afternoon to pay New Year's greetings to your ancestors..."

During the Spring Festival, generally speaking, the middle-aged and young men will go out to pay New Year's greetings in the morning, and women and children will go out in the afternoon and evening, while the elderly and young children will not go out at all.

Jia Lian was different. After his father Jia She was imprisoned, he, as a nobleman, would go out to pay New Year greetings to his relatives on the morning of the first day of the new year every year since he was ten years old. Uncle Jia Zheng walked together, and gradually he made the trip by himself.

And every New Year's call, his last stop would be his grandfather's house, and he would return to Rongguo Mansion after taking a rest in Zhang's Mansion. In fact, his eldest aunt Xu was also used to keeping an eye on Jia Lian's time on the first day of every new year.

After bidding farewell to his grandfather and the others, Jia Lian took each of Qin Keqing's and Wang Xifeng's shy and joyful expressions and took the little hands of the two daughters, walking towards the gate of the Zhang Mansion.

"Hey, two ladies, this is the journey I have traveled for my husband on the first day of the new year every year. I hope that you can accompany me on this journey again every year in the future..."

"..."

The two girls were a little dizzy and weak at the same time when they were talked about by Jia Lian's love. The morning dew in their starry eyes seemed to be dripping out. throbbing.

This enemy, if you don't want to squeeze it out at night... It seems that you really messed with him, but... it's irritating!
……

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

When Jia Lian, Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng came to the front yard, there were already maids waiting.

Seeing the three of them coming in, they hurriedly greeted them, and turned back to report. After a while, the three of them entered the extremely lively hall.

When the people who were talking and laughing around the old lady saw Jia Lian and the other three, they greeted them with smiles.

"Why have you been here for so long? Could it be that the old man in-law has stayed as a guest?"

"Isn't that right? Grandpa likes Keqing and Feng'er so much. If it weren't for the first day of the new year, I'm afraid I really have to stay there and honor my grandfather."

"Haha, that means our family's children are rare, but I also heard that the old man in-law will retire and return to Jiangzuo in the next year. Lian'er and his wife, you two will be more filial and filial to that side from now on."

"Yes, my wife knows!"

While talking, the woman in charge over there came to ask if the food could be served. Before the old matriarch could say anything, Jia Lian quickly motioned for the food to be served quickly. After worshiping all morning, he was a little hungry, not to mention the two charming daughter-in-laws .

The most important festival of the year, Rongguo Mansion's lunch on the first day of the new year is naturally extremely rich. Although it is not as exaggerated as the Manchu Banquet that Jia Lian had heard of in his previous life, it also set up a large table that was specially prepared today. It's full!
Pig, duck, fish, goose, and donkey meat are all available, and the recipe and taste are still bland, except for the dishes that Jia Lian and a few people ordered individually.

When the group sat down, the old lady moved her chopsticks first, and then the others began to enjoy their lunch.

After a while, after filling his stomach a little, Jia Lian's chopstick speed gradually slowed down.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Yuan Chun who was sitting on the other side of the old lady, staring at him with blinking eyes.

(

"Sister Yuanchun, what are you doing looking at me like that?"

Yuan Chun didn't pick up on him, just looked at him quietly.

Seeing Yuanchun like this, Jia Lian also knew whether the younger sister was moving.

"Hey! Brother, this is a birth gift for my sister, a seedling of the [Elf Tree]!"

……

　To be honest, it is not a full-time job, so four thousand a day is almost a relatively comfortable state!
