Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

We arrived at the Shotgun Battalion.

Jia Lian showed General Feng Tang's warrant again: "Jia Lian with a lowly rank, the deputy officer under Liu Zichao of Yunti Camp, is ordered by General Feng to go to the manufacturing office to complete his official duties. Please allow me, the captain."

The captain of the Bird Gun Camp is a member of the royal family. He accepted Jia Lian's warrant with a blank face, and ordered Ma Bian to ask General Feng Tang's seal to be kept. After checking carefully, he nodded and said to himself, "It's exactly the same." Then he ordered Ma Bian: "Take them to the construction office, tell Lao Liu, and tell him that the general has an order and ask him to fully support it."

Jia Lian returned to the place where he had lived for two months, and saw the carpenter's recorder Liu again. Jia Lian felt like returning home in brocade clothes.

He clasped his fists at Old Liu and said, "Liu remembers things well, the humble Jia Lian was ordered to come here to make weapons."

After listening to Ma Bian's order, Lao Liu looked at Jia Lian again, nodded slightly, and walked away: "Come with me!"

He led Jia Lian and others to the biggest workshop in front of the cliff, and drove out Qiu Ba who was working.

"This is the most complete workshop in the camp, with all the tools you need."

Jia Lian cupped his hands: "Thank you Liu Jishi, but I still need a few master carpenters to help with my work."

"Yes!" Lao Liu nodded, and ordered his subordinate Ma Bian: "Go and call four people."

Ma Bian quickly brought back four of them, all of whom were Jia Lian's acquaintances.

When these people saw Jia Lianju, they all raised their eyebrows: "So it's you, kid. Didn't you get promoted to Beijing, why are you disturbing our brothers again? I'm dreaming, and I was shocked by you, what do you say? "

"Of course we have to make up for it!" Jia Lian was already prepared, smiling and offering a small bottle of light Lingquan rice wine to each of them.

These masters haven't tasted Jia Lian's specialty rice wine for a long time, and they were greedy, so they didn't shy away from taking it. They tasted a few mouthfuls, closed their eyes and shook their heads, then opened their eyes and smiled, "What orders do you have? Say it!"

Jia Lian kept his subordinates: "I will make a batch of crossbows and bows, and within three days, I will teach them how to make crossbows and bows."

The 20 people were all discouraged: "Ah, carpenter?"

Jia Lian snorted: "Do carpentry? Remember, this is the Shotgun Manufacturing Office. If I hadn't brought you in, some of you might not be able to get in for the rest of your life. Now that you've come in, you're still not satisfied? Who wouldn't like to learn carpentry? It’s too late to regret it now.”

The 20 people hurriedly shouted together: "Where is Lang Guan, where are we, I don't regret it, I am very satisfied!"

When Jia Lian heard the words, he was very upset, so he stopped hiding: "Huh, since you trust me so much, I will tell you now. Three days later, I will teach you how to make crossbows and bows that can be shot with one hand, which is also a test of your knowledge. When qualifying for the team, if you can't be an archer, you will be returned to the echelon team, remember?"

"remember!"

When this group of monkey cubs heard that the good or bad made by them was directly related to their fate, they didn't dare to belittle each of them, and the learning atmosphere was unprecedentedly high.

For the past three days, Jia Lian was not idle. He spent one day making two arm crossbows. Jia Lian armed himself on the left and right. For the next two days, Jia Lian was testing the accuracy of the arm crossbow. Inside, nine out of ten are sure.

These 20 people, Jia Lian is not just going to take them to be scouts, Jia Lian wants to train them into a surprise attack team, capable of attacking and fighting. If there is any disagreement in Ping Anzhou, Jia Lian will lead the small team to Ping Anzhou to make contributions , not a myth.

From the fourth day, Jia Lian learned from the principle of the bird's beak gun and led a small team to transform the original bows and crossbows, transforming the crossbows and bows fired by both hands into semi-automatic devices.

After Jia Lian fiddled with the first single-handed crossbow and bow, the first seal of the captain of the Shotgun Battalion flew into the palace again.

Emperor Qianyuan summoned Zhang's uncle again, and showed the semi-automatic bows and crossbows secretly drawn by the school lieutenant to Zhang Dashi: "Look, look, let's all miss it, this kid was born to do military affairs. Look If this crossbow and bow are used on the battlefield, our combat effectiveness will be doubled."

Uncle Zhang looked at it and said, "It seems that it can only be launched by one."

Emperor Qianyuan nodded: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages. The crossbow can be fired repeatedly, and the target is too big. Although this small crossbow and bow can only be fired single-shot, they can be hidden in the sleeves and attack them by surprise. The key is that he can shoot with one hand. It is an artifact of sneak attacks."

The Zhang family uncle smiled: "The Holy Majesty still wants to suppress him. If you praise him so much, I am afraid that he will be young and self-righteous, and he will be smug from now on."

Emperor Qianyuan snorted: "You underestimate him, hehe, if you get the title, if he says no, then he won't, will he get flustered?"

Uncle Zhang said: "Oh, this child is soft-hearted, he doesn't want Lady Jia to end up miserable."

Emperor Qianyuan nodded: "There are advantages and disadvantages to this temperament, but I like people with affection. Well, when he wipes out the canal bandits, I will return him the title of Lieutenant of Qingche."

Uncle Zhang family was busy cupping his hands: "On behalf of my nephew, I would like to thank the Holy Lord Long En."

Emperor Qianyuan said: "Don't talk about this, or you will really be in a trance."

In the next month, Jia Lian led the team to train troops in Xishan, practicing the speed of changing arrows on crossbows and bows, and practicing the accuracy of sleeve arrows.A month has passed, and the soldiers and horses of Ershi have been trained well.

Considering that going to Ping Anzhou may require a night march in the future, Jia Lian has not relaxed his hiking training, and has increased the training task of 150 miles in two hours to [-] miles.

In this way, another half month has passed, and the time has entered October.The whole Xishan is already glowing red.

One day, Jia Lian was leading a small team to climb in the wild, and suddenly received Jia Yun's flying pigeon. Jia Lian's face was as black as iron when he saw it, but it was Sister Feng who discovered that Jia Yuanchun had a pregnancy reaction.Although Jia's mother and Jia Yuanchun tried their best to conceal it, Sister Feng still found out the clue.

Sister Feng made a fool of herself, and she was immediately on the alert. In December of Yuanchun, she was about to marry King Zhongjing. How could she have this child?

When she was about to persuade Mother Jia to deal with the child, she suddenly remembered Yuan Chun's origin.

Sister Feng was also frightened. She thought the child was of royal blood.Therefore, she didn't dare to make decisions privately, so she had to find Jia Yun overnight and ask him to tell Jia Lian.

Jia Lian's eyelids twitched wildly. Back then, the Empress Dowager promised that Yuan Chun would get married smoothly, but now such a thing happened. It is not the Jia family's decision whether to beat the child or not.

However, Jia Lian could not decide the life or death of Yuanchun's child, but he could disturb her marriage.Otherwise, if Yuan Chun took the ball and married into Prince Zhongjing's mansion, it would be not marriage but enmity.

There is no man in the world who is willing to be a ready-made father.

Jia Lian immediately wrote down two words: funeral!

Then, Jia Lian tied the letter paper to their legs and let them fly.

At noon the next day, Jia Lian received a funeral letter from Rongguo Mansion saying that the second wife, Mrs. Wang, had died last night.

The person who came was the kite in front of Sister Feng.

According to reports, last night Yuan Chun spent the night in Wang's room. In the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of footsteps. When he opened his eyes, he saw a woman's figure passing by.Then, Yuan Chun discovered that the second wife, who had shown signs of waking up in the past few days, was pale, her eyeballs were spitting out, and she was not breathing.

Yuan Chun immediately exclaimed: "There are thieves, catch the thieves!"

In the yard, there are four healthy women, four nuns, and eight maids.The four healthy women took care of Aunt Zhao, and supervised Aunt Zhao carrying feces and urine for Wang every day and night.

The four nuns and eight maids take care of the second wife, Mrs. Wang, in shifts day and night.

When Yuan Chun yelled, the woman on watch outside woke up, but the two women and four maids in the second wife's room fell asleep like dead pigs.Everyone took cold water to break through, and these people woke up.When they think of Mrs. Wang, those who are already dead cannot die anymore.

Then, the guard asked four of Auntie's healthy women to report that Auntie Zhao had disappeared.

Yuan Chun didn't understand what else, but it was Aunt Zhao who entered the house because of a gap and strangled Mrs. Wang to death.

Thinking this way, Yuan Chun put the furious sheepskin lantern close to Wang's cheek, and sure enough, the second wife's eyes glared angrily, and her mouth vomited, which seemed to be caused by her neck being strangled.

Jia Lian got the news here, and was busy editing the book and went to Beijing to ask Ding You that Jia Lian had a year of filial piety when his aunt died.

Theoretically, when parents died, children should have a three-year filial piety period. Given that Jia Zheng was alive, both Yuanchun and Baoyu had a one-year war period.That is to say, in Yuanchun Tanchun, Baoyu must hold a mourning stick and keep filial piety for Wang's family for one year.

Jia Lian's Spring Festival is a one-year filial piety period. The difference is that Jia Lian does not need to hold a mourning stick to welcome the Spring Festival, but he cannot marry, drink and wear colorful makeup within a year.

As soon as Mrs. Wang died, Jia's mother and Yuan Chun were frightened to death.Although the Empress Dowager bribed Wen Po to cheat during the Yingchun inspection, how did you hide your stomach?

Moreover, after Wang's death, Yuanchun must observe filial piety, and the marriage must be postponed for one year.King Zhongjing is 45, is he willing to wait for a year?

Jia Lian rushed back to Rongguo Mansion in the afternoon, and the lintel of Rongguo Mansion had already been covered with white gauze, white lanterns and white couplets.

Many car frames have been parked on Rongning Street.

When Jia Lian entered the door, he saw that Jia Zheng was accompanying the servants of Shuntian Mansion, Du Butou led four servants, and the servants of the government government, a total of six people.They're here for routine.After all, Mrs. Wang was in her prime, and she died suddenly, so there must be an explanation.The Rong Mansion reported that Mrs. Wang had been ill for a long time, so she died.

Shuntian Mansion sent people to inspect it, and then they could be wiped out.

Of course, as long as there are no relatives to report that there is something wrong with the deceased, they generally will not take it seriously, just ask a few questions.Sister Feng was very good at business, and ordered Zhao Liangdong to bring out a plate of silver ingots, 50 taels of silver ingots, a total of six silver ingots.

Du Butou signaled his subordinates to take it, and said goodbye to Jia Lian and Jia Zheng's uncle and nephew: "The lowly official business is over, so I won't disturb your mansion." Huan rushed in and kowtowed to Jia Zheng, begging to forgive Aunt Zhao's life.

Knowing that Aunt Zhao had killed the Wang family, Mother Jia became furious and ordered Aunt Zhao to be beaten to death.

Because everyone was pregnant with a child, there was no immediate execution, but Aunt Zhao was trapped into a rice dumpling and thrown into the horse pen for custody.

What Jia's mother meant was that even if they were not killed, they should be locked in a secret room to avoid future troubles.

Such a scandal must not be spread, otherwise, the whole family will be ruined.

For Tanchun's ignorance, Jia's mother was very annoyed, and the person who repeatedly served: "Take your girls back, and let their siblings come out to mess around, and I will sell your whole family."

These slaves were terrified, and from then on they tightly controlled Tanchun and his siblings, not letting them come out to make trouble.

However, Jia Lian found Jia's mother that day. At that time, Jia Zheng and Yuan Chun were sitting there, and they seemed to be discussing things.

After Jia Lian saluted Jia Mu, he greeted Yuan Chun again, and then said: "The grandson originally planned to send the separation documents of the two prefectures to the government office a few years ago, but now he has to postpone it for one year. The family documents are sent to the government office for filing, please forgive me, old lady."

When Jia Mu heard this, her eyes became sharp: "Didn't it be agreed that there should be no distinction between inside and outside? Why do you bring this up again? You are trying to kill your sister. She can't marry into the palace now. The marriage If you want to postpone it, if you separate her out, what capacity will you let her marry?"

Jia Lian stared at Yuan Chun: "Is Eldest Sister still planning to marry into the palace? If I were the elder sister, I would immediately revise my book and enter the palace. In the name of filial piety, I would ask the Empress Dowager to cancel the marriage. As for the real reason, don't worry about it."

Yuan Chun's eyes brightened: "How do you know, isn't he?"

Jia Lian snorted, and glanced at Jia's mother Yuanchun: "If so, would you cover it up?"

Jia Zhengwen didn't feel much when he heard that Jia Lian was going to separate the family. Anyway, the accounts have been separated for two years, and he is doing very well.At this time, he looked like a monk Zhang Er, staring at Jia Mu and asked: "Old lady, what are you talking about, what is it? Are you talking about the death of Mrs. Wang? But after investigation, it was not Mrs. Zhao?"

Mother Jia was holding a teacup in her hand, and she threw it out angrily when she heard the words. Although the tea was not hot, she smashed Jia Zheng so that his eyebrows and beard were covered with tea powder, and he was in a panic.Coupled with Jia Zheng's serious face, it is very funny.

At this time, Jia's mother cursed: "When is this, the family is about to break up, Yuanchun girl's heart is broken, has your father ever comforted her? But he is interceding for that Zhao Bushi, you How can you be so ignorant when you are old? How can I feel so old?"

Mother Jia looked at Jia Lian and cried: "Lien'er, if you don't care about this family, how can you close your eyes when I die in the future!"

But Jia Lian said: "Old ancestor, the life expectancy of seventy is rare since ancient times, and the second uncle is only in forty-three this year, and he still has a good life for decades. Is it possible to rely on brothers, nephews and nephews to support him all his life?"

Mother Jia choked and had nothing to say: "You..."

Jia Lian looked at Yuan Chun: "I thought this was a good opportunity. The second room took advantage of the filial piety to help the soul and returned to the hometown. The eldest sister could take this opportunity to rectify the housework and teach Baoyu. One year is enough for the eldest sister to deal with all the remaining problems. Yes. At that time, the eldest sister would either go to Beijing or stay in her hometown, and with her character and talents, if she said that she wanted to discuss marriage, I was afraid that the matchmaker would break through the threshold."

Yuan Chun smiled: "It would be better for everyone in the Second Household to stay in Jinling, and not to go to the capital to cause trouble for you, would it be better?"

Jia Lian shook his head: "The two families have already separated. Even if the second uncle causes trouble, he can't let my nephew take care of him..."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Zheng was furious: "Nie Zhan, what are you talking about, who is causing trouble? I am an official official, what trouble will I have?"

Jia Lian snorted coldly: "Do you want to invite the Yamen servants from Shuntian Mansion back? At that time, Second Uncle's beloved person and beloved son may not be able to keep. Second Uncle, do you want to give it a try?"

Jia Zheng said angrily, "What do you want?"

Jia Lian stretched out three fingers: "First, submit Ding You's paper immediately, otherwise, the Wang family will not agree. Second, take advantage of returning home to lead the second room out of Rongxi Hall. Third, the Wang family will find out the clues. , Seven days later, when the guardian spirit returns to his hometown, even if the second uncle is reluctant to part with the prosperity of the capital, he still has to think about the big sister, who can't wait. And Baoyuhuaner, their future second uncle should also think about it."

Jia Zheng is only 43 years old this year. Whether he has made any achievements in the ministry, once Ding You is afraid, he will leave the court forever in his life.

Jia Mu's lips were trembling: "Ding You still has something to say about seduction?"

Jia Lian said: "Then invite the second uncle and nephew to submit the booklet together, and see if the Holy Majesty will win the favor!"

At this time, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng also arrived.

Jia She had no good words to say: "Second brother has been a fifth-rank official for ten years. What achievements have you made? Did you support yourself, or honor your ancestors? Are you an indispensable talent for the court, or a pillar supporting the country? Let the court make His Majesty reluctant to part with it like this? Could it be that the second brother left, and no one picked up the tiles on the roof of Qianqing Palace?"

Jia Amnesty actually compared him to a mason, and Jia Zheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "You, you..."

Upon hearing this, Jia She scolded again: "You advertise yourself as a scholar, and you have read all the books in the dog's mouth, so you can't call me brother?"

Jia Zheng was so dizzy that he was on the verge of collapse: "I, I..."

When Jia's mother saw this, she burst into tears with anger: "You bastard, I have already said, I don't care about your affairs, I just want to live in peace, and you still want to make trouble for me, you are trying to force me Die me, I can't live?"

Jia Lian's face turned pale immediately: "Is the old lady going to sue Shuntian Mansion? Well, Lin Zhixiao, then I will invite Shuntian Mansion with my post!"

Jia Zhen was taken aback when she heard the words, and hurriedly knelt down to persuade: "Old lady, what are you doing? Speaking of which, my uncle has been wronged enough these years. As an heir, he has been peaceful and peaceful. He has not complained these years. Could it be Isn't it filial enough?"

While talking, Jia Zhen suddenly saw Yuan Chun, and couldn't help but blame: "Eldest sister, the old lady is doing this for you, why don't you persuade me? Eldest sister has been in the palace for nearly ten years, and more than half of the money in the entire mansion has been sent to the palace." In the palace, doesn’t the elder sister know? The elder uncle has no place to vomit so much bitterness. Now that he really sues the Shuntian Mansion, will he be able to get what he wanted, and give the eldest house the title and give the title to the second house? The elder sister’s body I don’t remember where the title came from? This is the benevolence of Lian’s second brother. If he hadn’t been willing to give up his title in exchange for the eldest sister’s way of life, how could you stand here with a good appearance? You must be conscientious, eldest sister !"

Mother Jia was stunned: "Zhen'er, what did you say? Say it again?"

Jia Zhen sighed: "Lien's second brother had made great achievements in the sky, and the Holy Majesty was going to award him a first-class captain of light vehicles. It happened that the eldest sister had an accident at that time, and he was in a dilemma, so Lian's second brother entered the palace. The empress dowager is willing to pay off the crime. The empress dowager is benevolent, so she gave the elder sister a marriage to the Zhongjing Palace. Don’t you know, old lady? You are persecuting the eldest family’s lineage so that the sage and the empress dowager will know. How do you feel?"

Mother Jia stared at Yuan Chun: "Girl Yuan, didn't you say that you made great achievements yourself?"

Jia Lian said: "It's not her fault, the Queen Mother has explained it."

Yuan Chun broke down in tears, she was self-aware, even though the empress dowager confessed, she was happy to go along with it!

Mother Jia was startled and angry, beating her breast and crying loudly: "My old lady is old and fatuous? Am I burdening my children and grandchildren?"

Jia's mother looked up and fell down. Before she fell down, she stared at Yuan Chun with her eyes. She used to be so proud because her granddaughter was very intelligent, talented and beautiful. Now, she never After a trip to the palace, everything has changed?

Yuan Chun hurriedly stepped forward to help Jia's mother, looking at Jia Zhen and Jia Lian with tears in his eyes: "Are you satisfied now?"

Jia Lian took Jia Mu with a sneer, and as a support, Jia Lian injected the energy into Jia Mu's meridians. In an instant, Jia Mu recovered, but she was still very weak. He raised his hand and patted the back of Jia Lian's hand with difficulty. : "The amount is big and the fortune is big, you are a good one!"

Jia Lian's eyes turned red: "The grandson has never had the intention of harming others. The grandson just wants to support the lintel of the Rongfu. We must not let the achievements of our ancestors be trampled on, and we must not let the ancestors who have made great achievements end up extinct! Please also invite the old lady Forgive me!"

Mother Jia nodded: "I know, it's your grandfather's trust in you!"

The grandparents and grandchildren shook hands and talked, Jia Lian sent a steady stream of energy into Jia Mu's body, and Jia Mu tried to break free several times, but was stopped by Jia Lian.

Jia's mother has a long life of 83 years old, if Jia's amnesty kills her, it will damage the fortune of the big house.

Jia's mother understood Jia Lian's intentions, and she burst into tears.She used to love Jia Lian very much, when did it change?Mother Jia thought, it probably started when the girl in Yuanchun was counted as expensive!

Life is extremely precious!Life is extremely expensive?

After waiting for so many years, I finally hoped to be pregnant, but she was the son of a traitor!

At this time, Jia's mother looked at Jia Lian and thought of Baoyu. She finally figured it out. If this child can't be born in Zhongjing Palace, then he can't be born!

This child is a scourge!

Jia Mu raised her head and stared at Yuan Chun for a while, Jia Mu waved her hand, "Yuan girl, come closer!"

Yuan Chun's heart was twisted suddenly, she wiped the corners of her eyes, and approached Jia's mother crying, she thought Jia's mother was going to leave a last word!
