The Kangping Life of Mrs. Xing in Honglou

It is said that Jia Lian bid farewell to his uncle and went to Yongle County to take up the post as magistrate of Yongle County.Yongle County is rich in products, and there is a natural and excellent seaport in the territory. The ships on the voyage will stop again for supplies. Such conditions are logically also a county with rich people. Unfortunately, in recent years, they have been repeatedly harassed and robbed by Japanese pirates. The former county magistrate failed to resist the Japanese pirates. He is also greedy for money, so that the passing ships dare not stop here, and the fishermen dare not go out to fish, which makes the people miserable and frequent bandits.

As far as the current situation in Changle County is concerned, there are internal and external troubles, and it is definitely impossible to send a literati to come here.The Ministry of Officials was having a headache about who to send to serve as magistrate of the county. At this time, Jia Lian was being released somewhere. Originally, according to Jia Lian's background and the identity of the son-in-law of Yan Xueshi, the magistrate of Changzhou was suppressed by the above, and he was abruptly reduced to a perennial In the war-torn northern border county magistrate, the Minister of Rites went to a dilemma and asked for help. Prince Rui found out and pointed Jia Lian to Changle.

With Zhang Junhao around, it would be impossible for him to let his own nephew die on his own land. Besides, the Jia family was also a military commander, so he couldn't just watch his only son die outside.

Jia Lian and his entourage brought a lot of money, and they traveled by water. Because the draft of the river was shallow, they changed boats. Together with a hundred soldiers sent by Zhang Junhao, ten mighty boats headed for Changle. They had just entered the boundary of Changle. This line was followed by people, and after another [-] miles of waterway, the group was surrounded by water pirates. After all, the Jia family was a military commander. This time, the Jia family specially sent a character like Jiao Da to follow. Except for the usual manpower, all the people around him had been on the battlefield in recent years. Together with the sergeants sent by Zhang Junhao, Jia Lian was able to take office safely and captured the biggest water bandit leader entrenched in Changle County.As a result, Jia Lian's prestige increased greatly as soon as he entered Changle County.

In the following time, Jia Lian worked hard to eliminate bandits and water bandits and fight against Japanese bandits. Jia Lian collected and trained the surrendered water bandits and bandits to deal with Japanese bandits. At the same time, Zhang Junhao also strengthened his fight against Japanese bandits The intensity of the suppression has reduced the number of Japanese pirates invading the border.

Although there are still Japanese pirates entering the country to rob, but overall the results are remarkable. In addition, God is also looking toward Jia Lian. This year, Changle County has a good weather, and it is beginning to show that the people live and work in peace and contentment.

After discussing with Jia Lian, Yan Peining left 10 taels of silver for the family for emergency use, plus her own dowry, took out 15 taels of silver to start Nanhuo together with the Zhang family, Lin family, Yan family, and Jia family. For the business, the Zhang family, the Lin family, and the Jia family contributed 10 taels each, and the Yan family contributed 1 taels of silver. They are all officials. , accounted for 5% of the income, bought goods from the south such as pearls, gemstones, seafood and foreign goods at low prices, and shipped them to the capital, and then shipped silk, porcelain, jade and other northern goods from the north to the south. , Passing through Guangzhou, Yangzhou, and Beijing, there are escorts from the Zhang family, the Lin family, the Jia family, and the Yan family. After the trip, the investment of each family has doubled.

Xing Yue looked at the ledger happily. The income from the 5 taels in the north, plus the income from the 10 taels, and the income from other fields in the family, would bring in 18 taels of silver a year in the mansion. Yes, for the New Year ceremony, the annual balance of the mansion is 15 taels. In two or three years, when the spring festival is held, the family will have 50 million treasury silver. That's enough.

Xing Yue has not increased the pavements and fields in the mansion except for people to buy sacrifice fields every year. Although their family is a first-class general's mansion, it is all false and does not hold real positions. Beijing is more powerful than them There are a lot of people, so it's better to keep a low profile and not attract attention.

At the end of Jia Lian's second year in Changle, good news came from Guangdong. Yan Peining gave birth to Jia Lian's second son. Xing Yue stopped the one who put up the genealogy for his grandson. The little master born in Dongfu has not yet put up the genealogy. What are you, Jia She, jumping out and making trouble for?

After stopping Jia Amnesty, Xing Yue loaded the prepared gifts for his grandson, as well as the congratulatory gifts from Yan's family, on a boat and sent them off. Washing three, full moon wine, I treated my grandson badly, and I picked up a box of things from my private warehouse and loaded them on the boat together. Little Baozi Jia Gui, I know I have a younger brother, but I don’t know who I heard that I have a younger brother. , I am an adult, I have to teach you how to protect my younger brother, and put my favorite toys on board Xing Yue, and at the same time protested Xing Yue's behavior of kissing his face, which made Xing Yue in his arms There were two extra kisses on the face.

It wasn't until two days after the boat sailed that Xing Yue realized that when they got the news, Jia Ran was already four months old, and when the things on the boat were delivered to Jia Lian and the others, Jia Ran was almost six months old. In the next month, Jia Lian's term of office is due to come, and he should return to Beijing to report on his work. These things have to be brought back.

Xing Yue and Jia She were so focused on celebrating that they didn't know that Jia Lian's family was at a critical moment. In the past two years, the weather in Changle County was smooth and the people were prosperous. Under Zhang Junhao's suppression, the Japanese pirates had less and less harvest and suffered heavy casualties. There were more than 1000 people left Gathering together, they planned to retreat if they planned to get big votes. They fell in love with Changle County, which had only 200 guards and relatively weak defense.

After careful planning, he raided Changle County one night. Japanese pirates had been lurking in the city for a long time. The inside and the outside cooperated. It was easy to find out early, and the guards in the city resisted to the death and stood firm at the city gate, so they survived the night.

As the county magistrate of Changle, Jia Lian naturally wanted to stay at the front line and appease the hearts of the people. These pirates were so crazy that they attacked the city desperately. Even the county magistrate Jia Lian went into battle in person and was injured. , It was not until the rescue troops arrived that these Japanese pirates were repelled.

Yan Peining took the child with her in the government office, fearful, handed over the child to a loyal servant, took the child out of the government office, and confessed that if something happened, she would take the child out of the city and send it to the Zhang family in Guangzhou, and she would stay in the government office to sit in charge. To appease people, but with an extremely sharp hairpin on her head, she planned to kill herself once the city was broken and Japanese pirates invaded the city, so as not to be humiliated. She dried her tears and asked a doctor to treat her. After sending everyone away and holding the child, she let her tears flow wantonly.

Knowing that the imperial court reported to Beijing urgently, the family knew about it, and they didn't dare to let the old lady know. Xing Yue and Jia She kept the news, and they often hugged their eldest grandson, Jia Gui, and waited for Jia Lian with the Yan family. After seeing the news that Jia Lian sent someone to deliver the letter half a month later, the two were relieved and discussed with Yan Xueshi whether to let Jia Lian stay in Beijing after his term of office expired.

Repelling Japanese pirates, awarded by the Holy Majesty, Jia Lian made meritorious deeds in defending the city, during his tenure in Changle County, he made meritorious deeds in governing Changle County, eradicating bandits, and the people were rich, he was directly promoted to the fifth rank magistrate of Huizhou, Yan Peining bestowed fifth rank pleasant, first-class general mansion, the Holy Majesty also rewarded a lot Things, five hundred gold, and ten batches of satin.

Knowing that the reward from the Holy Majesty had entered the mansion, the old lady knew that Jia Lian had made meritorious service outside. She didn't ask whether Jia Lian was injured or whether the family was safe. She happily prepared to celebrate. The wife was reprimanded by the former empress. Even though the former empress had been abolished, the current empress dowager and empress do not want to see the old lady. She cut off contact, and the historian refused to let Shi*yun come to the old lady's place, and repeatedly rejected the old lady's invitation.It is rare to have a grandson who gives her a long face, so she naturally wants to show off in front of the old sisters, and introduce her Baoyu to everyone by the way.

This action of the old lady made Jia She very disappointed. Even though he had long since given up any hope for the old lady, he still felt desolate seeing the old lady act like this.

Xing Yue hurriedly stopped the old lady, saying that this time there are all promotions and titles. Jia Lian was lucky this time, made a small contribution and was promoted to the magistrate. In the following days, she was not pleasing to the eye.

These days he was worried and busy, and he didn't have the heart to listen to other news from Beijing, but now he was relieved to hear news from the Wang family and the Xue family.

The biggest news of the Wang family is that Wang Xifeng changed her name and surname to marry someone. She married a merchant in her thirties and 40s as a continuation. This merchant already has two sons who are about the same age as Wang Xifeng. , After listening, Xing Yue let go, this Wang Xifeng has been suspended by Jia Lian, and has nothing to do with their Jia family.

The Xue family, now the Xue family has entered Beijing, saying that it is for their daughter's draft, and they will go to Beijing ahead of schedule.Xing Yue knew that it was actually Xue Pan, the brother of the Xue family. In Jinling, in order to fight for a Yinglian, he killed the famous scholar Feng Yuan. In order to avoid disaster, he had to come to the capital. Now he lives in the Wang family, but It is estimated that there are not many people in Beijing who know about this matter, and no news has been spread.

Now that their family has been torn apart from the Wang family, there is no intersection. Naturally, the Xue family, which is related to the Wang family, also has a estrangement from them. No matter what, the Xue Wang family will not ask the Jia family for this matter. However, who were they looking for? After the case was settled, Xing Yue planned to ask.

In the original book, it was Jia Yucun who gave this matter to him, and he left his tail to let people take advantage of it. Now, Jia She went to pick up Lin Daiyu himself. The Lin family did not invite Jia Yucun to be a teacher to teach Lin Daiyu. He was dismissed as an official, so there was no such thing as Jia's mansion finding a job for Jia Yucun.

Without the presence of the Jia family, it must have been Wang Ziteng who asked someone to entrust someone in person. According to Wang Ziteng's temperament, the matter was handled very cleanly after all. This Wang Ziteng is shrewd and capable, but he was implicated by Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng , the promotion mentioned in the Dream of the Red Chamber is also nothingness now.

"Master, I heard that the Xue family from Jinling has come to Beijing to prepare for the draft. I heard that their sister is very beautiful, a rare beauty." Xing Yue said when she saw Jia She at night.

"Draft, it's a small election. The Xue family is just a merchant, and the family status is too low. The daughter of the Xue family enters the palace and is destined to be a palace maid. So what if she looks beautiful? Does the Xue family still want their daughter to be rich? ?” Jia Amnesty listened and said something casually.

"Maybe, this girl from the Xue family is lucky." Xing Yue said with a smile.

"The Xue family girl, whether her life is good or not, it has nothing to do with our family. In the year after next, Yingchun will also be of age, so you have to teach her well." Jia She said, taking off his coat.

"Master, what are your plans for Yingchun?" Xing Yue asked, this Yingchun is now the daughter of a first-class general's family, and also has a prefect elder brother. Is this to participate in the draft, or to rely on the relationship to avoid the election and marry directly Jia Amnesty has the final say.

"It's too early to talk about it now, let's wait and see." After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he lay down on the bed to rest.

The author has something to say: There may be many typos in this chapter today, and the number of words is also small, so I will add it tomorrow
