Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

The news about the Gu family that Jia Rong said really shocked Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment before asking: "Gu Fei is worrying about the position above? Has Your Majesty punished the Gu family?"

Jia Rong nodded: "That's right, many people are not convinced, but after all, three generations of the Gu family died all at once, and it seems a bit unrighteous to pursue it further, so even Wu Yu didn't open his mouth again."

The old man of the Gu family possessed medical skills that were said to be passed down from the Gu family's ancestors, and he was known as "Sai Bian Que Zhi" in the south of the Yangtze River. Why did he die all of a sudden?

"Why did the old man of the Gu family die?"

Jia Rong said: "The news from the Gu family is that the old man of the Gu family heard that his beloved son died tragically. He couldn't stand the stimulation. At that time, he passed out and passed away after three days. In order to avoid the Gu family's complete defeat in the officialdom, they use their own lives as a bargaining chip to win His Majesty's mercy." Jia Lian nodded: "Although the Gu family started with theft, it must be said that they have a lot of background, the family has a strong centripetal force, and sacrificed for the family. There are not many people in this world who have lost their lives, and if the Gu family escaped because of this, they can only say that it was destiny."

Jia Rong nodded: "It is said that His Majesty originally wanted to deal with Gu Fei, but when the news of the death of the old man of the Gu family came to Beijing, Concubine Shu fainted immediately, and the seventh and eighth prince brothers also cried terribly, His Majesty couldn't bear to do anything to the Gu family."

Jia Lian shook his head: "The Seventh Prince cried terribly? Where did he put the Emperor and the Empress Dowager?"

Jia Rong was thoughtful when she heard the words: "It's no wonder that the Empress Dowager's complexion has been very bad these days. It's because the emperor indulged Gu's family lightly, and the Empress Dowager is unhappy."

Jia Lian thinks so.

To be honest, the performance of the seventh prince in his previous life was not satisfactory, but because of the accident of the eldest prince, the third prince is also a guy with high eyesight and low power.Four, five, six, three princes, sons, mothers, and concubines were not favored, they were not outstanding, and their family members were also in decline. This made the ambitious Gu family put the seventh prince on the throne.

In this life, the eldest prince has not been unlucky, but the seventh prince has repeatedly made foolish tricks.His backer, the Gu family, is also in danger, and there will be trouble in this life.

Jia Lian could conclude that, at least for now, the emperor might hate the seventh prince. How can there be a grandfather who is still alive, but the grandson mourns for the grandfather?

Is it impossible to treat your own grandparents as dead?Coupled with the suspicion of Concubine Shu's madness, the Seventh Prince should not have much competitiveness.

Concubine Shu wants mother and child to be expensive, and I'm afraid it won't work.

Let's see if the seventh prince can be as precious as his mother.Although Concubine Shu was liked by Emperor Qianyuan, but right now it was uncertain, the key point of Emperor Qianyuan was that he couldn't eat women, no matter how good the taste was, he would never look at Concubine Shu differently.Concubine Shu wants to successfully ascend to the throne, except that Emperor Qianyuan will not support him, and the empress dowager is hindered by the three mountains of the emperor.

Therefore, it is very difficult for the Seventh Prince to want a son to be as precious as his mother.

Jia Lian thought clearly, so he simply opened his hand and looked at Jia Rong with a smile: "Don't worry about the Gu family, you have been carefully watching the south gate for the past few days. Jia Yun will arrive in the capital in two or three days. If you bring back the people from the drama, please take them directly into the palace and hand them over to the Empress Dowager. Tell people that they are the cousins ​​and grandnieces of the Empress Dowager’s family. There are a few other people, just say that they are servants of his family. Send them to Ningshou Palace together."

Jia Rong's eyes were dark when she heard the words: "So, the old lady of the Gu family has found her original wife's family? Second uncle, you are really amazing. A few days ago, my great-uncle from Yangzhou came to Secret Zhe and said it was a shocking event, but no one recognized her." They. The empress dowager has been unhappy for several days because of this, but now that the second uncle has found it, the empress dowager will reward you again."

Jia Lian shook his head: "No, this time the credit belongs to Jia Yun. Without Jia Yun's assistance in Ping'an Island this time, many things would not have gone so smoothly. And this time, it was Jia Yun who escorted the Du family's grandparents all the way from Haijiang to Beijing. The credit is not small. This time, Jia Yun brought a few children to disguise himself as a beggar for the purpose of spying on intelligence. He climbed the ice and lay down in the snow, and suffered from frostbite. In terms of merit, the imperial court canonized him as a captain of Yunqi. It’s a pity that his merit cannot be put on the table , This time, the credit for finding the grandparents of the Du family just compensates Jia Yun, and in the future, as long as there is a chance, I will let all of you make meritorious deeds and advance to the next level."

Jia Rong was convinced of Jia Lian and wished she could have another father. Hearing this, she smiled happily: "Thank you, Second Uncle, my nephew is waiting to be rewarded for his meritorious service."

The next day.

Emperor Qianyuan called Daqi, and commended Jia Lian in front of all civil and military officials, and also rewarded the officers and soldiers of Pingziying.The eunuch Defu was ordered to read out the imperial decree.

Jia Lian bestowed the title of first-class viscount and rewarded him with a viscount mansion.

Inherited from the fifth generation.Restore the title of Rongguo Mansion.

Six Lang officials in Pingziying were promoted to one level, all of them were of the fifth rank.

All the soldiers under his command will be promoted to the first class, and will be recorded as a small merit once.

Wu Yong, a second-class soldier of the Xishan Cloud Echelon, was the first to climb to the top of the city during the siege of Ping'anzhou, and planted the flag of the Fengsheng Army on the top of the city. This greatly deterred the bandits and boosted the morale of our army. He made outstanding contributions and was promoted to deputy. Lang Guan, bestowed the title of Yunqiwei, and beheaded for the fourth generation.

Tang Hui was brave and good at fighting, and killed more than a hundred bandits. He was promoted to a first-class soldier, served as the deputy Lang officer of the Lang team, and was awarded the title of Yunqi Lieutenant.

Wang Lei was brave and good at fighting. He killed more than a hundred bandits.

The remaining [-] members of the cloud echelon team will be promoted to first-class soldiers and will be counted as small workers once.All echelon team members will be rewarded with a shotgun.

This time, all the officers and soldiers of Ping'anzhou who reinforced were all happy.

What's even more amazing is that because Yang Jiuzhi was captured by Jia Lian not long after the war started, our army suffered very few casualties. Because of the cooperation of the officers and soldiers of the Pingzi Battalion, only a dozen people were slightly injured, three seriously injured, and no one died.After coming back, they collectively awarded the awards. During this trip to Ping'an Island, Ping Ziying became the biggest winner.

However, all of this is just a passing moment, because Pingzi was disbanded when he returned to Xishan, and he went back to his various departments.

In an instant, only the first two and 20 members of the Cloud Echelon were left in the Pingzi Camp.Jia Lian, a foreigner, is a polished school lieutenant.

After coming down to court, Jia Lian stopped Feng Tang, the general of the Fengsheng Army: "Dare to ask the general, the Pingzi camp was disbanded on the spot, and each returned to the Shotgun Camp and the Xiaoqi Camp, but I can't support a Pingzi camp with 20 people?"

Feng Tang smiled when he heard this: "Pull the team, pull the team, the team is pulled up by yourself, do you still wait for others to give it to you?"

Jia Lian frowned: "Where should I go to pull the team?"

Feng Tang laughed.But it turned out that Feng Tang wanted Jia Lian to recruit soldiers, and the source of the soldiers was Xishan military households.

In other words, Jia Lian's troops had to be recruited one by one by himself, and then trained little by little.

Jia Lian's heart moved: "Can you recruit soldiers? For example, recruiting orphans who fled from the south of the Yangtze River, and recruiting young people in Kyoto who are willing to join the army. I think that only by expanding the source of troops can we recruit the best soldiers."

Feng Tang nodded: "Of course, but you must ensure their innocence and loyalty."

Jia Lian smiled immediately: "Naturally, I recruit, I guarantee, I am responsible."

Feng Tang looked at Jia Lian with deep meaning in his eyes: "So, you are allowed to recruit soldiers. However, let me remind you that we are the Holy Army, not a team fighting in the front. You'd better not recruit Jiangyang bandits and hooligans into the Holy Army .”

Jia Lian smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, general, I guarantee that those local ruffians will never sneak into my team."

After discussing the source of troops, Jia Lian discussed the conditions with Feng Tang again: "What about the weapons and equipment? You don't want me to build them bit by bit, do you?"

Feng Tang was very generous this time: "That's not necessary, what I serve in the Holy Army is mostly weapons and equipment."

Feng Tang promised to give Jia Lian's team all the hands and arrows.

Jia Lian suddenly felt wrong when he heard the words: "Isn't Baizhuo Suo the equipment of the Cloud Echelon Team?"

Feng Tang smiled immediately: "Your Majesty is not very interested in the ladders you train, so I want you to continue training the ladders."

Jia Lian's face turned dark immediately.He wants to prepare for future sea battles. How can there be any city walls in the sea for you to climb?

Right now, it's all about going with the flow.Thinking in my heart, the soldiers are in my hands. Could it be that Emperor Qianyuan and Feng Tang will still stare at the following every day, how to train soldiers?

Thinking of this, Jia Lian's mood immediately improved.

Jia Lian rushed back to the capital because the children Jia Yun brought to Haijiang were going to be recruited into the Fengsheng Army, and began to handle matters for them to join the Jia family.

Jia Zhen's opinion was to let the sonless Jia clan adopt these orphans, but Jia Lian knew that this would involve property disputes, which would not be conducive to his management of these children.

Jia Lian decided to set up separate households for these children so that they would have independent personalities. He didn't want these children whom he carefully cultivated to be involved too much with the tribe, so that these children would not be disturbed by chores in the future, or be controlled by others.

Jia Lian needed the loyal support of these children, and followed him to make contributions without distraction.A small school lieutenant is not in Jia Lian's eyes.Even the entire Fengsheng Army couldn't stop Jia Lian.

However, right now, he needs to pull the team with one hand and one foot.

Jia Lian handed over the task of recruiting troops in Xishan to [-] old ladder players.

Wu Yong's success gave Jia Lian a new understanding of recruiting soldiers, because he told Tang Hui, Wang Lei and Wu Yong: "As long as the body is not seriously ill, you don't have to care about height, short, fat or thin, and we are not dragon guards. We need to look good and look good." Handsome, as long as he is in good health, has no scars on his cheeks, and volunteers to join the army, he can be recruited."

The three were overjoyed: "With the captain's words, the younger ones will not have to worry about the source of soldiers."

Jia Lian said again: "However, the ugly words are taking the lead. After enlisting in the army, they are only considered as reserve soldiers within three months. I will personally formulate the training plan. After three months, those who fail to meet the assessment requirements will be dismissed. You have to follow them Make it clear. Don't say that I will be punished for not teaching."

The members of the Yunti team are all from military households in Xishan, so recruiting them is as easy as picking something out of a pocket.

Jia Lian returned to the capital with peace of mind to arrange matters for the grandparents of the Du family.

According to Jia Rong's information, Jia Yun will return to Kyoto this evening.Jia Lian hurriedly waited at the Shili Pavilion outside the south city gate. Just after you hour, the convoy led by Jia Yun came into Jia Lian's sight.

Jia Yun saw Jia Lian get off the saddle, and his uncles and nephews saw him.Jia Lian asked about the situation of the Du family's grandparents, and Tete asked Mr. Du.After all, I am old.

But Jia Yun said: "This old man really has two tricks in his hands. Two children had diarrhea, so the old man mixed muddy water with dried plums and vegetables. I said I was afraid that this dirty thing would not be edible. As a result, the two children could not eat it for a day. Alright, all right."

Jia Lian nodded: "The genius doctor is not called for nothing."

After hearing Jia Lian's voice, Mr. Du and his granddaughter Du Ruoxin got out of the car and saluted Jia Lian: "Thank you, Mr. Jia for your kindness, and thank you for arranging this little brother. He was so considerate and appropriate to serve you along the way. This is the first time in this old man's life that he has been taken care of by you." It’s really not a waste of time to serve people so comfortably and comfortably.”

As Mr. Du spoke, he looked at his granddaughter with mockery in his eyes.

Du Ruoxin was dissatisfied when she heard the words: "Grandpa is really fickle. He used to praise me for being good or bad. Now that he sees him, he praises me so much. Those who don't know think he is your grandson and I am someone else. It's a pity , no matter how nice he is, he will not be related to you, and it is useless for you to worry about him."

This girl is only 13 years old, and she is completely outspoken.

His grandfather was amused and laughed.

Jia Yun blushed immediately.

Du Ruoxin still didn't let him go: "Hey, seeing how pitiful my grandfather is, if you have many brothers, you can take my grandfather's surname Du, so that he won't be nagging all day long, no one will learn any medical skills, and the ancestral property will be ruined , My ears are callused."

Jia Yun was bewildered, and bowed to Du Ruoxin: "Miss, you're joking."

Du Ruoxin's face was full of disappointment: "Are you not happy? My grandfather can teach you to study medicine?"

Jia Yun had no choice but to say: "My family is a green onion in ten acres of land, and I am a single thread!"

Du Ruoxin understood, she was an only seedling.Suddenly drooping his head, listless.

Jia Lian was very interested.

Old man Du smiled and asked Jia Lian: "I'm a clever girl, and I can see things accurately, but I haven't grown up yet, and I have a childlike heart."

Du Ruoxin loved to run all over the mountains since she was a child, she was innocent and innocent, and she didn't know what men and women were like.Otherwise, he wouldn't bargain with Wang Ziteng, a nine-province checkpoint, or bargain with someone like Jia Lian, who he knew so well.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "My nephew is honest and responsible. This time, I will go out with me to worry about labor. Therefore, I hope that when Mr. Du meets the Queen Mother, he will only introduce him to me by saying that his nephew met him by accident."

Old man Du smiled and said: "My little brother served our grandparents along the way, and it is not a lie to say that he saved us."

Jia Lian smiled: "That's good."

Looking back, Jia Lian discussed with Jia Yun: "I have many enemies in the court, and this time I am too prosperous. It is not appropriate to show the affairs of the Du family. You have made a lot of contributions in Ping'anzhou, but unfortunately, you are not on the list and cannot be commended. Therefore, your credit is on me. You have taken responsibility for the matter of the grandparents of the Du family. I reckon that although this matter is a personal errand for the empress dowager, it is still related to the safety of the country in the final analysis, and the credit is not small. But the Empress Dowager does not have the right to confer titles, so it shouldn’t be a problem to reward you with an official status, and I think you should be able to enter the palace as a bodyguard. This is not contrary to your study of the imperial examination, but complements each other, don’t you think?”

The court guards are close ministers of the emperor, and noble youths from Kyoto flock to him, so Jia Yun naturally yearns for him.There was no chance in the past, but now I have a chance, of course I will not be humble.

Jia Yun was very excited, and bowed to Jia Lian: "Thank you, Second Uncle, for your promotion."

But Jia Lian said seriously: "This is what it should be."

At this moment, Jia Rong also arrived, and everyone met each other.The grandparents of the Du family followed Jia Rong into the palace, while Jia Lian and Jia Yun brought twenty children home to clean up the dust. These days, everyone has worked very hard.

Jia Lian served wine in the martial arts hall, and the children almost swallowed their tongues in front of the delicious food.

After dinner, Jia Lian asked for everyone's opinions: "Now there is an opportunity to join the Holy Army. When you go to the Holy Army, you can apply what you have learned. You may not know that your teacher Guan Shan was born in the army. He was injured when he was ordered to send troops to northern Xinjiang, so he was discharged from the army."

When the children heard this, they all expressed their willingness to join the Holy Army at home.

Jia Lian said again: "The state has state laws, and the family has family rules. When you enter the Fengsheng Army, you can't do whatever you want, but you have to obey the orders and controls of the superiors. And after you join the army, you can only start as reserve soldiers. After three months, you will pass the examination. To become an official soldier."

These children are very smart, and they are also full of apes. Hearing this, they winked: "It's so difficult, how can I become an official soldier?"

Jia Lian said: "Through three months of training, you must be able to march hundreds of miles a day, and be proficient in fighting and climbing, the two most basic skills of the echelon team. After passing these three items, you can officially enlist in the army and receive military pay as a soldier.

"Eating military pay? Is it the monthly money that the kite said? Can we buy things by ourselves?"

Jia Lian smiled: "Yes, the military salary of the army is like the monthly money mentioned by the kite. It is also issued once a month. It is called the customs salary. The military salary is what you earn as a soldier. You can collect it. In the future, you can marry a wife or buy a house. That’s fine, anyway, it’s up to you to decide.”

A bear child asked: "Can I use it to buy sauced elbows?"

The other children roared with laughter.

Jia Lian nodded solemnly: "Military pay belongs to your private property, and buying pork knuckles is for serious purposes, it's totally fine."

The children immediately rejoiced. They could earn money to buy pork knuckles and buy as much as they wanted. What a wonderful thing this is!

Ever since, these twenty children joined the holy army together for the sake of sauce.Jia Lian got twenty master scouts for free.

These children have not had time to prepare houses for them because Jia Lian set up their own households for them.

Jia Yun took them back to Lixiangyuan and arranged for her mother to take care of them temporarily.

At the end of Youshi.Jia Rong returned to Rongfu and said that the Empress Dowager was very happy and had met the grandparents of the Du family.I am very satisfied with Jia Lian's work efficiency.At the same time, the empress dowager affirmed Jia Yun's contribution, and decided to recruit Jia Yun as the third-class bodyguard of Ningshou Palace, the fifth rank.

Jia Yun was overjoyed when she heard the words, and got up to thank Jia Rong.

Jia Lian then asked Jia Rong: "After the Empress Dowager talked with the grandparents of the Du family, do you have any orders?"

Jia Rong immediately looked at Jia Lian with admiration on her face: "Second Uncle, you are really a god, how do you know that the Empress Dowager has more to say?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "The empress dowager will definitely not bother the two masters. Let me tell Uncle Lin to continue investigating the situation of the Gu family ancestor?"

Jia Rong's eyes grew more admiring: "Yes, that's it."

Jia Lian nodded: "Hmph, of course I know, you report back to the Empress Dowager and say that I will finish it as soon as possible."

Because of Wang Ziteng's reminder, Jia Lian knew the nature of the empress dowager.

Therefore, after talking with the old man of the Du family, Jia Lian had already written to Uncle Lin in advance. I am afraid that in the next few days, news of Uncle Lin will come to Beijing.

Jia Rong went to report back to the Queen Mother and didn't mention it.

After that, Jia Lian went to Xishan every day to monitor the progress of recruiting soldiers in Xishan, and then returned to Kyoto to accompany Sister Feng.

Sister Feng is about to give birth, and her belly has grown to an appalling extent.

Seeing this, Jia Lian suspected that Sister Feng was pregnant with two calves.So much so that every time Jia Lian saw Sister Feng walking around, she was afraid that she would suddenly fall down, because her belly was wrapped around Sister Feng's waist like a huge waist drum.

The strange thing is that Sister Feng's face is still juicy and rosy, but slightly rounder than before when she was not pregnant.People who have met Sister Feng said that all the food Sister Feng ate was robbed by the children.

Jia Lian tremblingly accompanied Sister Feng for a walk every day. Sister Feng didn't seem to realize that she was stupid, and she liked to wander around and point fingers.

Because Rongguo Mansion has restored its title, the copper nails on the mansion gate and the blessing package on the stone lion's head will be restored.

Jia Lian has to supervise every day, and he is afraid that if he accidentally oversteps, it will make Emperor Qianyuan unhappy.

As a result, Sister Feng followed her around every day, scaring everyone in the family to worry about her.

There are also many versions of the rumors about why Sister Feng followed Jia Lian every day.

During this period of time, the servants and servants in the mansion only had one topic in their whispers.

Whenever two slaves meet, they will be mysterious and whisper: "Do you know why Second Mistress Lian follows Second Master Lian all day?"

"I don't know? What can't be done?"

"Hmph, that's natural. Second Master Lian was awarded a Viscount's mansion, you know?"

"You know? What's the matter?"

"What's the matter? I heard that when His Majesty rewarded the Viscount's mansion, he also rewarded twelve delicate maids. One of them is the second lady of a county magistrate in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that she was born with a beautiful face. The second grandma became nervous. By mistake, Second Master Lian went to the Viscount's Mansion over there." "Oh, oh, it's no wonder Second Grandma runs around with her big belly all day long, but it's like this!"
