Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Jia Ling said: "Second Uncle said that the prosperity of a family requires talents with both civil and military skills. You can pass the imperial examinations, why do you want to go to the army? Besides, Second Master specially told Lang Geer, Jun Geer, you His father passed away, and he is an only seedling, so he is not suitable for the army because he wants to pass on the incense."

At this time, Li Wan and Jia Jun's mother, Wen Shi, also arrived, each stopped the child, and they thanked Jia Ling and left.

Jia Ling stepped onto the high platform at this time, raised her hands and pressed down: "Everyone be quiet, listen to me, my second uncle has something to say, although the imperial guards are the emperor's personal guards, but the holy cavalry also has the imperial cavalry's own conscripts. In case of war, the emperor's personal guards They will also attack the battlefield. Therefore, those who are the only child at home, please come out and go home."

With this regulation, the team of 53 people became 35 people.

Jia Ling said again: "If you are under the age of 13 in the team, please come out."

The age of 13 is Jia Lian's rule, because when the Haijiang War broke out, Daiyu Tanchun was eighteen years old. Now Daiyu is only thirteen, and there are still about four years. I can barely marry a wife and have children in a hurry. The 13-year-old child will only be 12 two years later, and his body is not fully developed, which is really too young.Jia Lian couldn't bear to let them go to the front line to die. Although they might not die, war inevitably leads to death.

Jia Lian didn't want to complain about himself in the future, and he didn't want the lives of his clansmen to be affected because of him.He must leave enough incense for the Jia clan.

This time, there are two people who are of different ages.

Then, Jia Ling said again: "For the last item, each family is only allowed one person to participate in the assessment. If this person fails the assessment, the remaining brothers can make up for it."

There are 25 children who meet the three conditions.

Jia Ling registers the list of supporters and finds that there are three Jia Qin brothers. He originally signed up, but now he withdrew.

Jia Ling secretly sighed that the second uncle was very accurate in seeing people: "The second uncle said that if there are more than three brothers in the family, but none of them are willing to work for the family, the year-end distribution of the two prefectures every year will be cancelled, and the houses provided by the family will also be taken back. , If you are sent back to your original place of origin, you will be reassigned to live in a house, but if you don’t want to go back to your original place of origin, you can rent a house and live in another place, and the family will no longer protect you.”

Because Jia Lian kicked Jia Qin out of the government school last time, Jia Qin's family has alienated them. Jia Qin's family has been very unhappy for a while, and the marriage that Jia Qin agreed to is also regretted.

Today, they were expelled by Jia Lian because they didn't want to join the Imperial Forest Army, and their family was trampled on the fox's tail.

Jia Qin and Jia Chang's parents immediately quarreled: "Why do you drive us away? We are also the descendants of the old man. Our grandfather is the old man's heir. You have no right to drive us away!"

Jia Ling was expressionless: "This is Uncle Lian's decision, and I'm only responsible for implementing it. If you want to be reasonable, you can find the successor patriarch, or Uncle Lian himself."

Jia Qin's family is still messing around here because they don't want to contribute, which immediately provoked public outrage. We are all members of the Jia clan. Why do you want to squeeze your head out if your family is good, but you are not willing to do a little bit for the family?

Big guy, you mock them sentence by sentence.We are all relatives and neighbors, and everyone's affairs are clear.Speaking of speaking, it was hit by an arrow, straight pinching seven inches!

"Hey, last time I heard from you Jia Qin that you don't care about errands in the mansion. If you want to marry the daughter of the Shi family's side branch, the Shi family will buy a house for your family and send a shop?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that too. Why haven't you moved out after more than a year?"

"Hey, where's your shop? Do you need help, relatives, take care of it?"

The Shi family was ransacked and exterminated by Emperor Qianyuan at the beginning of last year. Where did Jia Qin go to gain the glory of the Shi family, and the family fled in embarrassment.

In the past, Jiachang flattered the Wang family and followed the Wang family to abuse his clan, but now Jia Lian hates her, and Jia Qin's family is already a festive rat.But Jia Lian did not expel them for the sake of an ancestor.

This time the Imperial Forest Army assessment is actually an opportunity for the clansmen to be promoted, but it depends on whether everyone has the courage to follow Jia Lian.

To be honest, Jia Lian really didn't want anyone from Jia Qin's family to sign up, if not, it wouldn't be as scary as Jia Ling said.

Unexpectedly, Jia Qin's family saw that it was beneficial, so the two brothers went together, and when they heard that it was dangerous, they rushed away.But at this time, if Jia Qin retorted, Jia Ling would not give him a chance.

After Jia Qin's family fled away, Jia Ling began to talk about the key points: "Second Uncle said, although the Imperial Forest Army is potentially dangerous, once you pass the assessment, you will immediately become a fifth-rank official. Five liang of silver is used to supplement the family, and I have food and lodging in the commune." All the people in the clan refused to be excited, and some people were not satisfied.

He said happily: "Oh, there is so much salary for being a soldier? It's like being an official!"

Insufficient said: "From the official status of the fifth rank, there are only 60 taels a year?"

The people of the tribe are all comparing in their hearts, Jia Yun and Jia Ling still have a monthly allowance of 15 taels of silver in Rongguo Mansion.There are only five taels when you become an official?

Let's not think about it, how many Jia Yun and Jia Ling can the entire Jia family produce?At the same time, Jia Ling and Jia Yun did what Bi Ai did on the surface, but what about collecting intelligence in private?I really only see people eating meat but not their hard work!

Jia Ling laughed immediately when she heard the words: "You guys are really lacking in people's hearts. Do you know how much the uncle's annual salary is? 240 five taels. Do you know how much the second uncle Lian's salary is from birth to death all year round? The second uncle is a first-class son, and A Yunqi captain only costs 430 taels a year. What did you do? 60 taels is too little. Go home early and go to sleep."

The people of the tribe immediately laughed when they heard the words: "Just kidding, you boy Ling, you really take it seriously!"

Jia Ling's grandfather, the fifth old man, was also in the crowd. He was here to send his eldest son's youngest son to the Imperial Forest Army examination. Many people envied the fifth old man, and some fawned on him, joking with him: "Fifth grandfather, please be happy now, kid Ling is promising!" Yes, the second brother can also close his eyes."

Fifth Lord's expression was both gratified and complicated.He likes the future of Jia Ling and Jia Zhi, the second grandson's brother. Jia Ling's brother Jia Zhi has done very well in private school, and Jia Dairu praised the boy several times in front of the fifth prince.It's just that Dafang's grandsons Jia Ping, Jia Fen, and Jia Fang are not so good.Because most of the ancestral property was acquired by the big family, the environment of the few children was good, they were spoiled since they were young, they couldn't study well, and they were afraid of hardships in the army.

This time, if Jia Lian hadn't been the chief examiner and brought these children under the command of the Rongguo Mansion, they wouldn't be eligible to apply for the Imperial Forest Army.

Jia Fang, the grandson of the Fifth Master, was not willing to come to apply for the exam, but Jia Ling smuggled him and revealed the truth to his grandfather in advance. I've become an official.For the clansmen who just want to cling to the family to suck blood and don't want to contribute, the Rong Mansion will be rectified, and they may be expelled back to their original places.

Only then did the fifth grandfather force his little grandson to sign up, and as a result, Sifang raped and played tricks.The Fifth Grandpa was secretly relieved that even though Jia Ling felt it was unfair when the family was separated, she still had her heart on the big house.

Fifth Grandpa sighed, it seemed that he had to beat the big room.

Looking back, it was said that Jia Ling had brought 25 children of the family to Nanyuan, and Jia Lian's registration office was still surrounded by many people, most of whom were Sun Gui's children over 20 years old.

Those students who signed up all went to the school to compete in the school. Wu Yong and Wang Lei asked Tang Hui to take charge of this kind of recruitment.

Jia Lian also wanted to go and have a look, but was surrounded by the sons of the Xungui family in Kyoto.Everyone has the same idea, if Jia Lian doesn't accept them, Jia Lian will not be allowed to leave.Most of these people came from the sons of four kings and eight princes, as well as civil officials of the fourth rank or above in Kyoto.

Jia Lian didn't dare to offend casually, so he could only evade: "I am only responsible for recruiting soldiers, and the scope of this recruitment is His Majesty's holy order. As a subject, how dare you change it at will?"

Someone heard the doorway: "You are the direct supervisor of the Imperial Forest Army. If you can't be the master, who can be the master?"

Jia Lian clasped his hands together: "It is His Majesty's will to form the Imperial Forest Army, and the number of recruits is also decided by His Majesty. It will not work for you to surround me. Unless His Majesty asks to relax the age, otherwise, even if you surround me for a year, I will not be able to recruit you. "

Among these people, there was a leader, the youngest son of Uncle Feng Ziying's family, who wanted to join Ouchi's guards. Unfortunately, he was not born to learn martial arts. He came to the exam every year and came to the bottom every year.

His level of being a royal guard is still good, he quietly pulled Jia Lian: "We are not outsiders, my aunt praises you all the time, saying that my lord has the closest relationship with my cousin, although we rarely meet, but my cousin's face Do you always give it?"

Jia Lian could tell that Shui Wen was the leader of this group of dandies, so he smiled and cupped his hands: "What do you want to know? First of all, even if Feng Ziying can clarify, I can't accept you."

Shui Wen nodded: "I knew this a long time ago, so I asked you, you kept asking the emperor to speak, so I wanted to ask, we hired someone to clear it up, and you just tell us, can the emperor open the door?"

Jia Lian laughed and said, "The Imperial Forest Army is the emperor's imperial guards. Everyone tries to protect the emperor. Will the emperor be angry?"

Shui Wen had an epiphany when he heard the words, and thanked him with clasped fists: "Thank you so much sir, I will treat you to drink some other day."

Jia Lian laughed and said, "Brother, why don't you join the Holy Army?"

Shui Wen snorted: "Master, am I expected to be a big soldier?"

Jia Lian shook her head when she heard the words, she really is a dude, how can such a guy become a talent after being brought in?

Jia Lian suddenly felt that these dandies should be reminded that the ugly words should be up front, otherwise, once these wild horses without dragon heads are taken in, he will be exhausted.

There was a climbing ladder under his feet, and in an instant he soared into the sky like a kite, and climbed onto the ten-foot-high military parade.He said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet. I am very happy to see that you value the Imperial Forest Army so much and want to join the Imperial Forest Army. I know most of you. If I don't, I can guess how you live on a daily basis.

"The Imperial Forest Army, although you are from the fifth-rank official rank, but you are not recruited as officials and lords. Once you enter the Imperial Forest Army, you must receive formal training from the Imperial Forest Army. The first training item is within one month. Marching hundreds of miles at an hour, you only have one day to rest for a bath in a month, and your salary is five taels a month, which is not enough for you to have a drink, do you really want to come?"

What Jia Lian said clearly explained the difference between the Imperial Forest Army and the Ouchi guards. The guards were on duty for two hours a day, and there were still a few days off for bathing in January.If something happens, you can ask for leave or ask someone to replace you.

Knowing that the Imperial Forest Army is not easy, someone retreated: "Third Master, this Imperial Forest Army does not sound interesting, it doesn't matter if they don't have much money, and they have to train every day."

The reason why these guys can't get into the Ouchi guards is not that they are stupid, but the key is that they are lazy, they only like sensuality, and they don't want to practice serious Kung Fu.

Shui Wen was staring blankly, he waved his hand and asked: "Don't make noise, I'll ask you, how did you go up when you saw him?"

One shook his head: "I didn't see clearly, it seems that he went up in a blink of an eye."

The other said 'huh': "It seems to be true, as soon as his foot kicked on the ground, he jumped up."

"That's right, that's it!"

Shui Wen frowned: "You mean, no one helped him, and he flew up by himself? Can people fly?"

"Yeah, how can he fly?"

Shui Wen suddenly stared at his eyes and cupped his hands at Jia Lian: "My lord, can you come down and go up again?"

Jia Lian was slightly taken aback, knowing that he had just inadvertently leaked the steps of climbing the ladder.However, he was not afraid: "You haven't answered my question, I asked first, you answered me, and I will consider your question."

Shui Wen nodded: "Of course, my lord, you are a Viscount and you were born in the Marquis's Mansion, but you came to Xishan to be a third-rank official with 200 taels of silver a year, and now you are from the second rank, less than [-] taels of silver a year. Your family is short of money ?"

Jia Lian gave a thumbs up: "Well said, since you have great ambitions, I can satisfy your request."

Jia Lian drew out his horsewhip from his waist, and wrapped his hands around the gate with a flick of his hand. Taking advantage of the momentum, he jumped to the ground, with the horsewhip wrapped around his waist.

Then, Jia Lian kicked again, swung his horsewhip, rolled up the shaft gate, and kicked on half of the stone wall of the parade platform with his feet, and he had already flown onto the parade platform.Jia Lian waved at the twenty guards: "Come up."

These children jumped onto the parade platform one by one like monkeys.

Shui Wen felt that something was wrong, but couldn't tell the truth.However, it is Jia Lian's skill that he feels is not as beautiful as before, which has made him yearn for it.There are also some children whose skills are not as beautiful as Jia Lian's, but they are not bad. At least, Shuiwen can't climb a foot high without the help of a ladder.

Shui Wen stared into Jia Lian's eyes: "We joined the Imperial Forest Army, did you teach us this too?"

Jia Lian nodded: "Of course, but you must complete the hundred-mile march every day before you are eligible to practice my Jia family's unique cheats. This cheat book does not belong to the Imperial Forest Army or the imperial court. It is my Jia family's private property and cannot satisfy me. Soldier, I will not fail to teach."

Shuiwen suddenly smiled: "Deal!"

Jia Lian waved his hand: "You get the registration qualification first, and then pass the assessment, let's talk about it."

Shui Wen touched his nose but didn't take it seriously: "Just wait."

Jia Lian knew that this guy was going to change his mind, so he might be able to persuade Emperor Qianyuan to open his mouth in advance.

Feng Ziying's grandfather left the protection of the family and became an official through the imperial examination, but he was deeply loved by the emperor and queen mother.

If the dudes of the Shui family want to forge ahead, the Empress Dowager will definitely support them.

After leaving the dandy head of Shui Wen, several dandy groups seemed to have noticed something, and chased after Shui Wen.

Jia Lian's ears were finally quiet.

At this time, the children of the Jia family arrived, and Jia Lian took them to the conscription office to sign up, and then competed on stage.Wu Yong was in charge. After eating a child, his body was too weak. Even after running for five miles, his complexion turned pale and he was about to faint.

Jia Lian suspected that the child was sick, so he stretched out his hand to hold his wrist, and sent a wave of energy to him. He found that the child's veins were severely blocked, his heart and lungs were weak, and he was not suitable for strenuous exercise.Yin asked: "What's your name, which room?"

"My name is Jia Zao. I'm fifteen this year. I'm a fourth-year-old. My father is a concubine and was kicked out early in the morning. My father is not in good health. He works on the street to process letters for others. I have a younger brother who studies in a private school."

"Old fourth room? Jia Qin is your cousin? Why didn't he come?"

At this time, Jia Ling came up and told Jia Lian what happened.

Jia Lian nodded: "He is not suitable for the army. He is willing to contribute to the family. It is very good. You arrange him to go to the martial arts hall to do odd jobs with you as a helper. You can also take a look at his home. As he said, when you see an opportunity, give him a helping hand." .”

Jia Ling agreed, and when she went back, she said that 25 of the 24 people passed the examination, and the entire family was overjoyed.It was a great pleasure to come to thank Jia Shefeng and kowtow one by one.

Jia Qin's grandfather went to the mansion to beg Jia Amnesty, and Jia Amnesty promised not to expel Jia Qin's family.However, in the future, whenever there is anything in the Jia family, Jia Qin's family will contribute to it. It can no longer be like the past, competing for rich things, and standing idly by without money.

Jia Amnesty agreed with the fourth grandfather that this is the last time to forgive the fourth wife, and if he commits another crime, he will be resolutely expelled.

Jia Amnesty said righteous words: "Everyone gathers firewood to burn fire, but you only warm the fire, and you also have to fan the wind and pour cold water. This problem must be corrected."

This is to accuse Jia Qin's parents of telling others that Jia Daishan gave them less family property at the beginning, and it also means that the Jia Qin brothers cooperated with the Wang family to resell the treasury.

Jia Ling quickly passed the news that Jia Aiqin's family was left behind to Jia Lian. Jia Lian looked at it with a smile and told Yaozi: "Go back and tell your grandma to stop all subsidies and relief for Sifang. They will give you a penny for every job. Sifang Dizhi regards it as the same family to have children."

The family has a child and can live in Rongfu's house, but they don't have to eat if they don't work. No matter how lazy the fourth house wants to be, it won't work.Furthermore, they don't even think about good jobs, at most they work hard to earn hard money.

When Sister Feng heard the news, she gritted her teeth and sneered. She hated Jia Amnesty for not intervening, so that she would not have the opportunity to strip Jia Qin's family clean and throw them on the street.

How could she be polite when Jia Lian spoke.Jia Qin's New Year's goods were stopped that month.He also ordered Lin Zhixiao and Zhao Liangdong not to assign any work above the small foreman in the mansion to Sifang Dizhi.

From then on, Jia Qin's family lived a life that was not as good as slaves. They had been rejected by Jia Lian for more than two years, and all their savings had been spent.

During the Spring Festival, they did not get alms from the Rongfu, and after the year, the family worked around to make ends meet.In June of this year, they finally couldn't stand it any longer, and they came to the door and begged for Jia's amnesty. They were willing to repatriate them to their hometowns and spend their days farming and studying.

Jia Amnesty was very puzzled why Jia Lian was so mean to Sifang, so he sent someone to invite Sister Feng to interrogate her face to face.Sister Feng said: "At the beginning, the rose rouge cream that the second wife gave me was given to my daughter-in-law through the hands of Jiachang, which caused my daughter-in-law to be childless for three years. He is one of the accomplices."

Jia She was furious when he heard the words, and originally planned to give the Fourth Grand Master [-] mu of land, but instead it turned into [-] mu.

Fourth Master took the land deed and exclaimed in shock: "Boss, isn't this right?"

Jia Xie sleeved his hands: "Fourth Uncle, at the beginning, it was [-] mu, [-] mu for the elderly, and [-] mu for each of the three sons of the long house. This grandson’s heart is very big and wild! Uncle, you know that Sister Feng has been in the family for three years and has nothing to do? The rose rouge cream mixed with medicine was given to Sister Feng by your good grandson. Tell me, I I haven't touched a single hair of them now, isn't it already very benevolent?"

The fourth grandpa stared at Jiachang and Jiaqin, their brothers had all been in the pharmacy of Rongguo Mansion.

"Have you ever done it?"

Both Jiachang and Jiaqin knelt down: "Grandpa, Rongzhi, that thing was ordered by the second wife, we didn't even know there was something tricky in it."

The fourth grandpa slapped himself: "It's because I have no way to teach my son, and I still make trouble with them. I have no face! I don't have the face to ask for things from my nephew."

The fourth grandpa returned the land deed to Jia She, but Jia She returned it: "I know it's not about the fourth uncle, the forty acres are for you to take care of, so when you go back, let him cultivate it for you, and you can take it out yourself. Take the money to defend yourself, if they are good, you take them through, if not, you drive them out to fend for themselves."

The fourth grandpa burst into tears, and grabbed Jia She: "Although I have no face, my youngest son is weak, and the grandson doesn't know how long he can live. It's hard for Lian'er to take care of him. I feel relieved, I have no face. Ah. I am sorry to my ancestors for raising these unfilial sons. Boss, you must forgive fourth uncle."

"I can't help my mother, I never blamed you."

Jia Amnesty is not a good person, Jia Chang returned to Jinling only a month ago, and the owner of the gambling shop came to press him for debt.

The fourth grandfather refused to mortgage the life-saving field and expelled Jiachang.

That night, Jia Chang's back was broken by the casino thugs, and within a month, Jia Chang died of pain.
