The eldest son of the red mansion

Jia Ke has now nominally controlled all the troops in the capital, and his most important step has been completed, and he will start retraining these two troops in a few days.As long as Jia Ke has completed the training, he can completely master the 10 horses.

During this period, Jia Ke adjusted the positions of his generals in the capital.

Zheng Kai still serves as the deputy general of the Xishan Camp, Ma Zuo still controls the Ruijian Camp, and Xiao Kun replaces Jia Ke in charge of the Forbidden Army.

The infantry commander's office was handed over by Jia Ke to Fan Kang. Although Fan Kang was a literati, he was very good at commanding troops. During this time, he had been the head of the infantry commander's office. Now it is also possible to let him take charge of the infantry commander's office.

Luo Cen, the former commander of the infantry commanding yamen, was transferred by Jia Ke to the Xiaoqi Camp, and the young general Xiao Yue was sent by Jia Ke to the Fenwu Camp.The tasks of the two of them are the heaviest, because Jia Ke has just taken over the two armies, and the personnel inside are not all good.It is said that there are 10 horses, but it is not known how many of them there are.

Luo Cen and Xiao Yue not only had to train new recruits, but also counted the number of troops to make up for the shortage.It can be said that this is a major test for the two of them, especially Xiao Yue, he has simply reached the sky this time, and he seems to be doing well.In fact, for Xiao Yue, this was a huge pressure.Therefore, he has to work harder than others to be recognized by other generals.

And after Xiao Yue took over from Bei Jiake, his previous arrogance was completely wiped out by Jia Ke. He had been struggling like an ordinary soldier in the barracks for the past year, and he already knew the rules and training of Jia Ke's army like the back of his hand. This time Going forward and letting him take charge alone is also a reward for him.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and Jia Ke's return from the military plane is getting later and later. These days, Jia Ke is not only busy with the affairs of the capital, but also busy with the deployment of soldiers and horses on the nine sides.

Because the Tatars began to invade again this year, fortunately, Jia Ke actually took control of the military aircraft department this year. Through the deployment of troops, some of Jia Ke's own cronies were sent to the Nine Sides to train soldiers, plus the generals that Jia Ke secretly controlled cooperation.As a result, each of the nine sides this year has one or two troops that can fight well.

These people do not seek meritorious service, but seek no faults.Fully cooperate with the local troops to defend, so although the Tatars are still attacking everywhere to find weak points as before this year, the Nine Sides are much more stable than in previous years.So far, it has not been heard that any important pass has been breached.

And Wang Ziteng didn't stay idle after he arrived at the border. As soon as he arrived at the border, he dealt with several young people in succession, which seemed to frighten the generals at the border. These generals also began to cooperate with Wang Ziteng to supplement and strengthen the training of the soldiers.In fact, all of this was hinted by Jia Ke secretly, and then Wang Ziteng went to the border to rectify this time, so that Jia Ke strengthened the military strength of the border.The number of soldiers at the frontier has also changed from not being enough at the beginning to now being full, which has further improved the combat effectiveness of the nine borders.

But the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know the details, they just thought that Wang Ziteng was indeed capable, and the reckless men who were punished after going to the Nine Sides were submissive.

Although the Supreme Emperor has not been out of Ningshou Palace during this period, he has a clear understanding of the situation in the world.This is also thanks to the secret spies under his command, but these secret spies are not so effective when it comes to the Nine Sides issue.

The secret agent on Nine Sides can only get the news that Jia Ke wants them to know.What was heard by the Supreme Emperor was that Wang Ziteng was vigorously rectifying the Nine Sides, and many generals were surrendered by Wang Ziteng. Therefore, the combat power of the Nine Sides was greatly improved last year.

However, the Tatars had no harvest this year, and the weather was not good, so they began to cause frightening white disasters.Arslen Khan's tribe did not suffer any losses, just because he controlled the entire Western Regions, and by squeezing the people of the Western Regions, he could ensure that his tribe survived this winter safely.

But other tribes could not do like him, so many small tribes began to go into exile, and most of these people were annexed by the Manchu Eight Banners.At this time, the Manchu Eight Banners already had the foundation to compete for hegemony on the grassland.But they still hibernate in the grassland according to Jia Ke's order. This army is a sharp sword arranged by Jia Ke on the grassland. When Jia Ke really rules the whole country and leads his troops to the north, they will be the vanguard to control the grassland.

Chapter 328 Baochai enters Beijing

Not to mention that Jia Ke is so busy here that the sky is dark, but that a relative came to Rongguo Mansion recently. Mrs. Wang has come to seek refuge.

To say that this ancestor of the Xue family is also very important. His ancestors sponsored the Emperor Taizu a lot when the country was founded. servant.Therefore, after Emperor Taizu founded the country, he had a lot of gratitude for him.He was named Ziwei Sheren, and granted the title of Imperial Merchant, allowing the Xue family to keep this name for generations, and these generations have accumulated gold mountains and silver seas.

Because of this, Xue Pan, the son of Aunt Xue, was arrogant and domineering since he was a child, and his father died young and no one taught him, so he became the little overlord in Jinling City.But in recent years, it has become even more powerful, one is because his uncle is the governor of the Beijing camp, and the other is because Jia Ke is the head minister of the military aircraft department.With these two relatives around, who in Jinling City would dare to offend him?

Therefore, the few noble servants that Xue Pan took every day walked the dog in cages. Although they didn't do anything to bully men and women, they kept causing trouble.Officials at all levels and gentry in Jinling City did not dare to intervene excessively before Xue Pan caused any major incidents due to the official authority of Wang Ziteng and Jia Ke, which made Xue Pan even more unscrupulous.

This time it was because he was arguing with a squire over the life of a servant girl, and he didn't take it to heart as if nothing had happened.

But I didn't know that this time it caused an uproar. You must know that human life is at stake, and it has always been the same since ancient times.You must know that even in ancient times, it was not so easy to cover up human life lawsuits.

Xue Pan didn't take it seriously, but his mother, Aunt Xue, couldn't feel at ease for a day. Although the prefect of Jinling didn't dare to send someone to arrest Xue Pan immediately, he didn't dare, so he just dismissed the case. Jinling Mansion hung up.

Aunt Xue sent a letter to Prince Teng in Beijing, asking her brother to help cover up when the prefect of Jinling came to inquire several times.After Wang Ziteng got the news, he wrote to let them live in Beijing. In fact, it was to let them avoid the limelight temporarily. As for the lawsuit, wait for a while to find a solution.

During this period of time, the current emperor wants to choose talented and good girls for the princesses and princesses, and go to school to accompany them.And the Xue family also went through the palace, and let Aunt Xue's youngest daughter Xue Baochai be included in the candidate list, and wanted Xue Baochai to use this as a road to Qingyun.It also lays the foundation for the Xue family's prosperity in the next few decades.

So they met one place in two trips, and the Xue family came to the capital with the whole family.

Xue Pan has never been out of Jinling City since he was a child. He has long heard of the prosperity and excitement of the capital.Although he didn't care about the trouble he caused this time, he was still a little uneasy in his heart.Now that he can enter the capital, he can enjoy the prosperity of the capital, and he can send his younger sister to the capital as a candidate. The most important thing is that he can also avoid the limelight.So they made some adjustments, and the family came to Beijing.

The family originally wanted to live in Wang Ziteng's mansion after they entered Beijing. After all, there is a saying that mother and uncle are big, so they will naturally go to Wang Ziteng's mansion when they arrive in the capital.It was thought that they had just arrived in Tongzhou when they got the news that Prince Teng had been promoted to the control of nine provinces, and he was ordered to leave the capital to check the border.

Xue Pan originally wanted to live in his old house in Beijing, but Aunt Xue was afraid that Xue Pan would continue to cause trouble in Beijing. You must know that there are many princes and nobles in Beijing. s arrangement.

Aunt Xue thought about it, since her elder brother Wang Ziteng was not in the capital, she might not be happy if she went to join her. The older sister of her compatriot was the wife of the Rongguo Mansion, so there was nothing wrong with going to join her. .So he insisted on going to Rongguo Mansion to join Mrs. Wang, and wanted Jia Zheng and other elders in the family to control Xue Pan a bit.

That day Qin Keqing was at home, playing with little Jia Zhi.Jia Zhi is now able to walk unsteadily.Jia Ke also felt sorry for her son, and was afraid that he would fall down while walking, or touch tables, chairs and chairs, so she ordered Qin Keqing to wrap all the furniture in Jia Zhi's room with cotton, and then sew brocade cloth on the outside, and put more cloth on the floor. It is a thick carpet.In this way, no matter how little Jia Zhi struggled in the room, she would not be able to hurt herself.

The two mother and son were on the carpet, playing lively with each other. Qin Keqing was rolling around with her son on the carpet in a nondescript manner, while a roomful of maids were taking care of their mother and son.Suddenly Ruizhu came in from outside the room, came behind Qin Keqing, bowed and said, "Grandma, there are guests at home, Madam ordered you to meet."

"Who came here so grandly, and asked me to go there in person." Qin Keqing hugged Jia Zhi in her arms, teasing him while saying, after living in Wuyanghou Mansion for this period, Qin Keqing has become more and more dignified now, In addition, because of Jia Ke's high status, ordinary wives would not be able to invite her to parties.

"If you go back to grandma, it seems that Madam's own sister, Aunt Xue, has brought her children to Beijing." Rui Zhu had inquired about these things clearly before coming in to report.

Qin Keqing also felt helpless when she heard this, and it seemed that she had to go, after all, Aunt Xue was Jia Ke's real aunt, and if she didn't go, she would lose her manners.

In fact, Qin Keqing was unwilling to go out to meet each other, because she thought that this family was not easy to get along with, but Qin Keqing knew that Aunt Xue's son had been beaten to death.

But Mrs. Wang had an order, and Qin Keqing had to go to deal with it, so Qin Keqing sent Jia Zhi to the nurse.He took a group of servant girls to Rongguo Mansion.

As soon as Qin Keqing entered Mrs. Wang's courtyard, seven or eight servant girls surrounded her and greeted her, so a group of more than a dozen people led Qin Keqing into Mrs. Wang's room.

Qin Keqing entered the room and saw that Mrs. Wang was chatting like a middle-aged beautiful woman.Sitting next to her was a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. This little girl was born with a natural beauty, with smooth muscles and bones, and elegant manners, which is not something that ordinary people can raise.

At this time, Li Zhi was standing next to the two of them, quietly listening to their sisters' conversation, only occasionally saying a few words.Standing by the side, she looked a bit petty compared to this little girl.

Seeing Qin Keqing coming in, Mrs. Wang quickly waved to her, and then introduced Aunt Xue to her, "This is your aunt of the Xue family. This time she comes to Beijing and will stay in our residence for a while."

Then he introduced to Aunt Xue: "This is Qin Keqing, the daughter-in-law of our elder brother, who lives in the Wuyanghou Mansion nearby. If you have any difficulties in the future, just go to her."

Aunt Xue had heard about Qin Keqing a long time ago, and she had heard about her luck for a long time. It was rumored outside that Qin Keqing had a statue of Dafu. At that time, she was able to be engaged to the Rongguo Mansion as a small family. After that, Jia Ke went all the way. , so that her wife is more expensive than her husband, and now she is a famous lady in the capital.I am afraid that few people in the capital can match this kind of blessing.

When Qin Keqing first entered the door just now, Aunt Xue was a little startled by Qin Keqing's demeanor.Now Aunt Xue looked Qin Keqing up and down carefully, and was immediately shocked by her beauty. She was floating like a fairy, with flowing clouds and flowing water when she moved, with a graceful and beautiful figure, and her handsome face looked like a fairy who had descended into the mortal world, and there are also girls She is pure and charming like a young woman.Aunt Xue always felt that her daughter was already a rare beauty in the world, otherwise she would not be tempted to send her to the palace.But now Aunt Xue has to admit that compared with Qin Keqing, her daughter is still a little inferior.

After hearing Mrs. Wang's introduction, Qin Keqing quickly stepped forward to salute Aunt Xue, but Aunt Xue didn't sit there to accept her salute, but got up quickly to help her up, and then pulled her to sit beside her.Grabbing her hand, he kept praising: "It's really a fairy-like figure. If you didn't pay attention, you might think it came out of the painting."

Aunt Xue praised Qin Keqing, then pointed to the girl sitting next to her and said, "This is your cousin, whose nickname is Baochai, and I will rely on you to take care of her in the future."

When Qin Keqing entered, Xue Baochai was already attracted by Qin Keqing's demeanor.In his opinion, Qin Keqing is very similar to her, they both come from a small family (compared to a wealthy family like Rongguo Mansion), but Qin Keqing can become the hostess of Wuyanghou Mansion, and she is already the first lady among the noble ladies in the capital. A first-class character.Except for the empress in the palace, no one can fight her anymore, this is exactly what Xue Baochai has always wanted in her heart.

And Xue Baochai still had a greater hope in his heart, that is to enter the palace to serve the emperor.If it is the blessing of the ancestors, there is a glimmer of hope, and if he is favored by the emperor, his future will be ten times better than that of Qin Keqing.

Hearing her mother's order, Xue Baochai quickly stood up, moved her lotus steps lightly to Qin Keqing, and bowed down to her in a fluttering manner. All her actions were smooth and smooth, making people look so comfortable, and she seemed to have received special education, which is Rongguo Mansion None of these ladies can match such etiquette.

Even Lin Daiyu, who was lifted up to the sky by the old lady, is still a bit behind Xue Baochai in terms of etiquette and stature.

After receiving Xue Baochai's gift, Qin Keqing pulled her by her side and asked softly, "How old is my sister? What's the matter with coming to Beijing this time?"

Before Xue Baochai could answer, Aunt Xue next to her said, "I'm 15 years old this year. With the grace of the emperor, I want to choose a talented girl to accompany the princess and princess. My Baochai is also on the list, so I came to Beijing this time to Baochai is waiting for election."

Qin Keqing, if you listen to her words, you will understand what she means. Think about it, you are another family who wants to send their daughter to the palace for the sake of the family's wealth.Qin Keqing couldn't help feeling sorry for this girl. They only thought that if they entered the palace, they would be able to rise to the top, but they didn't know where the palace was. The momentary grace, in the end, is nothing more than green light and white hair, and this is all for the rest of his life in the palace.

Chapter 329

Qin Keqing is also a well-rounded person now. Although she is not optimistic about Xue Baochai's future after entering the palace, how can she say it in front of so many people, and even if she says it now, it is a bit shallow.

With a smile all over her face, Qin Keqing took Xue Baochai's hand, complimented Aunt Xue and said, "I saw Baochai and thought she was a good person. This time I go, I think she must have a bright future. Here I congratulate in advance gone."

After listening to Qin Keqing's words, Aunt Xue's smile never stopped, "How can you say so well, let's talk about the royal affairs, how can we have the final say, but we just do our best and obey the destiny."

In fact, Aunt Xue thinks that her daughter Xue Baochai is no worse than Jia Yuanchun in the palace. As long as her daughter can enter the palace, the future prosperity and wealth are just around the corner.

She thought this way but ignored that Jia Yuanchun was able to gain a foothold in the palace now, besides herself, she also had the full support of her family.In addition, Jia Ke is not high in weight now.Although the emperor didn't want to see Jia Ke, nor did he give Jia Yuanchun too much taste, but no one in the palace dared to neglect Jia Yuanchun.
