[Red Chamber] Jia Lian has an ancestor system

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is colder and more lonely than ever.In previous years, the bright moon hung high and shone brightly, but this year's August [-]th was a cloudy day.

Because of the filial piety of Jia's family, they had a small gathering on the [-]th day, and lived a peaceful life on the [-]th day.Xiangyun and Tanchun stood on the porch, looking at the gloomy sky, chatted for a few words, but they were also bored, and fell asleep early.

Fortunately, both Liu Xianglian and Wei Ruolan came to present gifts, which made the old lady feel relieved.Although she knew the real purpose of Tanchun and Xiangyun following Jia Lian out of the mansion a few days ago, but at this juncture, she didn't want to restrain too much.

Everyone lives in peace.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival was over, Liu Xianglian took the whole family of the Xue family to the south.

Jia Lian sent them out of the city and brought him the clothes and shoes that Tanchun had made for Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian promised: "Please also ask the second elder brother Lian to take care of the family. When the time comes, I will return to Beijing to marry the third younger sister."

"Second brother Liu, please rest assured, I will take good care of her."

Jia Lian watched the group until they disappeared at the end of the road before riding back to the city.

In late autumn, Guangzhou in the south is still like summer, but the sun is not as poisonous.

The commerce and trade here is prosperous, and all kinds of foreign goods shipped from overseas, such as red sandalwood, ivory, enamel, clocks and watches, glassware, gold and silverware, and even domestic pets, are the targets of various merchants.

They purchased them one by one according to the style issued by the inner court, and then handed them over to the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi, the governors of Guangdong and the supervision of Guangdong Customs, and they would contribute.

In addition, the foreign goods purchased privately by various merchants entered the homes of dignitaries and nobles in various places.

Xue's family came to Guangzhou, which used to be a barren land and is now the largest foreign trade port, making Xue Biao and Liu Xianglian feel even more powerful.

Xue Baoqin has been waiting to get married in the capital for the past few years, and her temperament has changed. Once she arrives in this prosperous trading capital, she seems to have returned to the old days when she went shopping with her father.Lively and bright, she can still speak the few foreign words she learned when she was a child.I stayed here for a month, and I had a great time every day.

Xue Biao and Liu Xianglian came early and have already made friends with several businessmen.Xue Biao is also very smart. He traveled around with his father in the early years and learned some foreign dialects from the general officer. After working here for a long time, he also became a half general officer.Later, it also had contacts with the Guangdong Customs government and was appreciated by officials, so the foundation was considered solid.

Although Liu Xianglian did not obtain the qualification to be a merchant at that time, but now after the reform of the Ministry of Households, the qualification to be a merchant is not difficult to come by. Xue Biao helped the government and quickly responded.

Although after the reform of the Ministry of Households, the goods purchased for the royal family need all the merchants to advance funds, and then they will receive the money uniformly. Sometimes because of such and other involvements, the merchants will naturally suffer losses, but in the long run, the business is still cost-effective and the profits are still considerable. .

Xue Pan has experienced all kinds of things. Although he intends to learn how to manage the business, he is not the material. In addition, his legs are a little lame, and after the reconciliation and separation, his momentum gradually calmed down.Now I don't have the guts to do stupid things anymore, so I stay in the shop obediently every day to deal with business.

Aunt Xue's mood became much more relaxed, and she tried to find a good day for Xing Xiuyan to marry Xue Biao.

Although Xing Xiuyan is also in the filial piety, she is an orphan and widowed, and she is unfamiliar with the place where she lives, so no one talks about it.

Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River, the maple leaves in the mountains are red at this time, and the hoarfrost covers a large area of ​​land under the Phoenix Mountain in the morning.In the fields, vegetables, rice and wheat, tangerines, autumn pears...the crops are growing gratifyingly, and the trees are full of fruits.

In this small village, Jia Baoyu went up the mountain to chase rabbits and went down to the river to fish every day. He grew stronger and his mood opened up a lot.

Jia's family school has already begun to recruit students. Due to the lack of teachers for a while, it is inconvenient for the teachers from the Beijing family school to come, so Jia Baoyu simply became a teacher by himself, teaching the children in the village how to read and write, which is interesting.

Today, I was drinking tea with some sisters in Changcui Nunnery, and Miaoyu joked: "Usually, how much you dislike studying and seeking fame, but now you are a teacher, it is a cause and effect."

But Jia Baoyu said: "What is cause and effect without cause and effect? ​​I only teach them how to write, read some books, count numbers, understand some principles of life, and make the world less confused. I don't teach them to seek fame. Naturally, if they want to seek fame, I won't stop them, each has his own future."

Miaoyu shook her head with a smile, and asked him: "Has the mansion never urged you to return to Beijing?"

"That's not true. Anyway, in the filial piety, I don't take the imperial examination. In addition to remembering the old lady, my wife, and sister Xiangyun and Tanchun, I really think this is the world of bliss."

Yingchun said: "Why don't we write a letter and call Xiangyun and Tanchun sisters over, wouldn't it be lively?"

Baoyu: "Good idea, I'll write to Brother Lian later."

In the capital, at this moment, the breath has turned into frost sooner or later.

Everything in Prince Jia's Mansion remains the same, and so does Jia's Mansion.

It's just that the water surface seems to be calm, but it always seems to be broken by some huge stones thrown in.

What should come will always come, Qingyan asked Han Fu to visit Lin Hong's mansion this day, Lin Hong couldn't help turning pale after hearing Han Fu's words.

"Is the news true?"

Han Fu closed his eyes and nodded: "Your Highness said, I'm afraid the decree will be issued within two days."

Lin Hong said solemnly: "I understand, you can reply to His Highness and say that I know what to do."

The fact that Jia Amnesty colluded with foreign officials to smuggle was indeed found out by the people of the Zhongshun Palace, and now they have invited the emperor. Fortunately, His Highness King Jia also has reliable eyes and ears by the emperor's side, so he learned the news.

Lin Hong hurried to Jia's mansion and told Jia Lian the news.

But Jia Lian didn't change his face, as if he knew it a long time ago.

"Do you already know?"

He knew it in his previous life, seeing his family ruined with his own eyes, even in this life, he knew that there would be a day sooner or later.

Jia Lian didn't answer directly, but said: "Thank you brother Yansheng for letting me know, please take care of yourself now, I have my arrangements."

Lin Hong didn't know what his arrangement was, but it was inconvenient to say more, so he had to leave Jia's mansion at night.

Jia Lian called Jia Yun overnight and arranged for him to send Qiaojie and Xiaohong out of the city early the next morning to hide at Grandma Liu's house.

Wang Xifeng was so frightened that her face turned pale and her legs were weak. After she calmed down, she wanted to send some things out overnight, but Jia Lian stopped her: "Do we have anything left now? Even if we do, who can we give these things to?"

Wang Xifeng wept and said, "Should they just let them ransack the house completely? If you send sister Qiao away, what about us?"

"Sister Qiao is still young, so she shouldn't suffer this crime. You and I are not wronged. If you don't go through this disaster, it will be difficult to survive. If you leave, I'm afraid the government will investigate more strictly, and even Sister Qiao will not be able to survive. "

Wang Xifeng fell silent, and arranged to take back the money she had paid for the interest, and handed it over to Xiaohong for safekeeping.

Jia Lian personally sent Xiangyun and Tanchun to Weifu.

Because Xiangyun and Tanchun already have marriage contracts, and Xiangyun is not from the Jia family, so they are safe, but Tanchun needs to escape.

Originally, Jia Lian was worried that Wei Ruolan would be afraid of scruples and would not dare to hide sinners, but he didn't expect him to become more courageous at this time, and said: "Anyway, I am already the son of a criminal minister, so I don't need to hide another person."

Jia Lian said: "Don't worry, if they ask, I'll just say that Tanchun went to Guangzhou with Liu Xianglian, and they are husband and wife now, so whatever will affect the married daughter. Besides... we at least have a princess."

Having said that, in fact, Jia Lian also understood that although Lin Daiyu is a princess, His Royal Highness Jia Wang should not be implicated in this matter. It is a kindness from the heavens if Prince Jia's mansion helps, and if he does not help, it is also his duty, and he cannot complain anyone.

It was already light when he returned to Jia's mansion from Wei's mansion, and Jia Lian was a little worried that the old lady would suffer in prison and would not be able to make it through, so he went to Rongqing hall, intending to let the old lady go to escape.

When I got to Rongqing Hall, I heard Mother Jia ask Yuanyang: "There is something wrong early in the morning, but what happened?"

Jia Lian just went in and said, "Grandson dare not hide the truth. Someone has reported on our family. I'm afraid our house will usher in a catastrophe. I thought the old lady should go to hide first..."

Yuanyang and other maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Jia Mu calmed down instantly and said calmly, "I'm not going anywhere. I just sit here and wait for them to come."

"What's the trouble, old lady? How can you stand up to it..." Yuanyang also hurriedly persuaded.

But Jia Mu stood up, waved her hands and said, "You don't have to persuade me. I have experienced the most prosperous and prosperous times in the mansion. I have lived a better life than you. If it is really going to decline, why can't I face it? But I want to leave you to bear the reason."

As soon as Jia Lian heard this, tears welled up in his eyes, ashamed, moved, regretful... mixed feelings.

The old lady has always been a sensible person, but these children and grandchildren really don't have the talent to keep the family business and prosper the family.

At this time, people from outside the yard obviously rushed in, and the maids and daughter-in-laws screamed.

Jia Lian hurriedly walked out of the courtyard, only to see a group of officers and soldiers coming in. The leading official was Jia Yucun, who killed a thousand swords.

Jia Lian's teeth itch with hatred, and he has long heard that he is close to Prince Zhongshun's mansion, so he guessed that this time he took the initiative to take the lead in reporting.

Jia Yucun cast a sidelong glance at Jia Lian, ignored him, took out the imperial decree, and said, "The Jia family accepts the decree..."

Jia Lian sat on the ground paralyzed after hearing this, and as expected, no one in Ningrong and Rongfu was spared.

Jia Amnesty colluded with foreign officials to smuggle goods, Jia Zhen gathered people to gamble during the filial piety period, although Jia Zheng made up for the deficit in his tenure, he was ineffective and allowed his clansmen to do evil, Jia Lian bribed officials... Several people with official positions were charged with all crimes, and the rest were also punished. implicated.

The soldiers who ransacked the house surrounded the Ningrong Second Mansion, and all the men of Jia's mansion were put in prison, and because the prison couldn't hold so many people, the female family members were sent to the prison god temple.

It was exactly the same as in the previous life.

Amid the wailing, Jia Lian thought calmly, "I don't know if Jinling is treated in the same way. The only good thing is that Zhang Shaochang, the governor of Liangjiang, is in charge there. Maybe it won't be so hard."

Things have come to this point, he has done everything he can, and the only thing he can do now is to pray.
