Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Of course, when Jia Lian said that Xuanyang is actually joking, if you really do that, people will know that you are putting on an act.

The father and son agree on the charter.So far, Jia Amnesty has realized that Kyoto is potentially dangerous, and will not prevent Jia Lian from taking his family to take office.

Seeing his father's promise, Jia Lian revealed another purpose of taking the children out of Beijing: "The empress has a relationship with our family. When I was the prince and concubine, because the seventh prince and the third prince were under pressure, this relationship Inconspicuous, now it’s different.”

Jia Lian then told Jia Amnesty about the joke between Sister Feng and Yu Liuyue, and said: "It is not easy for our Jia family to be able to stand upright again. Therefore, I don't want our glory to be involved with the empress. Although I stood On the queen's side, I secretly pushed the eldest prince to the throne, but I don't want my daughter to enter the palace to live that precarious life. The title of Jia's mansion depends on the men fighting for it with real swords and guns, and we don't need the daughter to exchange for it. Although I can't write this into the ancestral precepts, I hope that the parents of Jia's mansion can pass it on word of mouth and become the family's secret precepts, and I ask my father for permission."

Jia She nods his head: "Well, your consideration is very correct. A Yuanchun in the family has almost brought down the whole family, and we must take it as a warning in the future."

Jia Lian knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Amnesty: "Thank you, father, for your understanding and support. My son took Qiao sister to Haijiang this time. There is another meaning. I like Lu Shaocong, the son of Yongding Army Luping. That child is fifteen years old this year. He has been civil and military since he was a child. He is also good at both cultivation and good looks. I intend to marry him, and in the future Qiaojie will probably be promised to the Lu family. I hope my father will not be surprised when the time comes."

Jia She frowned: "The Lu family? Then sister Qiao will have a long way to go back to the capital in the future?"

Jia Lian shook his head: "Then Lu Ping is very strategic and the time is ripe. I am going to recommend him as the Minister of the Ministry of War. His son will definitely follow him back to Beijing. At that time, isn't Sister Qiao coming back? Besides, it's just an engagement right now. 11 years old, it's still early to get married. I say this because I don't want the old lady or the master to make a kiss easily in the capital!"

Jia She waved his hand: "It won't, don't worry!"

Jia Lian said: "It's not just sister Qiao, I don't want to marry the royal family for the five children. It's better for the three boys to marry the noble family. We are already extremely rich now, so we don't need to be married anymore. The emperor has doubts, please always keep this in mind!"

Jia She nods his head: "I save it!"

Jia Lian was very happy. His father came to be a talent and became more and more prosperous. He smiled and took out a bank note: "This is the first quarter's profit from Pan You'an. I kept half of it. The [-] will be used by the master. In the future If you need money to do something, just discuss it with Pan You'an, and don't get involved in those official affairs."

Jia Amnesty took the bank note and looked at it, and Jia Lian's head twitched: "The lessons of the Wu family, the Gu family, and the Yang family are here. Who dares to touch those things, I am not stupid!"

Jia Lian smiled: "I'm just saying something in vain. Also, this time I will take Yun'er to Haijiang, and the family affairs will be handed over to Ling'er. There is Rong'er in the court poking at him. No one dares to touch the Rong Mansion. It's just that The two children are still young, and they are still immature in the capital. You have to support them. You must have friends like Yanhou who can talk. Besides, you have also filed a lawsuit in the Jinluan Palace. No one on the ground in Kyoto dares to confront you head-on. It’s best not to disturb the queen if nothing happens.”

After Jia She heard these words, he nodded solemnly and agreed: "Don't worry, they are the pillars of our Jia family, and I will protect them!"

The important matter was decided, and Jia She was relieved when he remembered that the family had been appointed as a great official in the frontier. He became excited again, clapped his hands and laughed, "The official business is over, let's talk about private matters. According to the usual practice, we should open an ancestral hall to worship our ancestors!"

Jia Lian stood up respectfully and bowed in the direction of the ancestral hall: "If the child can have the blessings of his ancestors today, he should open the ancestral hall to worship the ancestral hall."

Jia Lian is no different now than before. The last time Jia Lian was promoted before the war, he was not in the capital at all. This time he had to worship his ancestors together.

Later, Jia Amnesty approached Jia Rong to discuss ancestor worship.

Jia Rong regarded Jia Lian as her father at all, so how could she not agree, and hurriedly said that he would make proper arrangements for ancestor worship.

After Jia Lian returned to Xuancao Tang to discuss with Sister Feng, she decided to hand over the Rong Mansion's foreign affairs to Jia Ling.

Sister Feng likes Jia Ling and Lin Xiaohong very much: "I don't worry about these two children."

Jia Lian then called Jia Ling and told him: "I am going to take your second aunt with me when I go to Haijiang this time. Your second aunt will take care of the middle school. If you ask Xiaohong to help with this, your second aunt must be a girl." The outside affairs depend on you. I know you are very busy collecting information on the ground in Kyoto, but I don’t feel relieved to leave this matter to others. Although Baoyu lives in the mansion, you also know that he is nosy, What's more, he has to study for the imperial examination, so it's not easy to delay him with housework. You know the elder, you will never leave the shopkeeper for the rest of your life. Therefore, the foreign affairs of the Rong Mansion are all up to you. Don't worry, I will let the elder and Brother Rong will help you, if there is any disagreement, you can just ask them for help, I don't know what you mean?" Jia Ling bowed and said: "Second uncle has trained my nephew for many years, and he trusts him so much , my nephew will definitely do my best to live up to my second uncle's trust."

Jia Lian nodded: "Well, I know your ability. Yun'er wants to go to Haijiang with me, and you can collect the news from the capital by yourself. If there is something wrong outside, you can also go to the second master of the Wei family and the second master of the Feng family. It's your second uncle, they will definitely not refuse."

Jia Ling cupped her fists: "Nephew wrote it down."

Jia Lian assigned Jia Ling here, and Sister Feng also told Ping'er: "I went to Haijiang with your second master, and this day lily garden is handed over to you, you must help your second girl, your second girl must be going out soon, You need to prepare the dowry. I’ll be back after a year or so.”

Ping'er's eyes dripped with tears: "My family is reluctant to part with grandma."

Sister Feng snorted: "Are you reluctant to part with the second master or grandma? Every time you are asked to serve you, you always push back and forth, as if asking you to go to the execution ground. Is it that scary? I follow your second master every day, and I am living well. ?”

Ping'er blushed: "Grandma has become a mother-in-law, and she can speak these eighteen forbidden words without being afraid of being laughed at."

Sister Feng pinched her face and said with a smile: "You are my personal girl, I can't let go of my courage to speak in front of you, wouldn't I be exhausted!"

The masters and servants talked about it carefully after joking for a while, but the mansion didn't mention it.

Although Jia Lian was released from Beijing, he seemed to be relegated.As a matter of fact, Jia Lian had several mountains on his head in the capital, and he was really useless as a stunned young man.When he went to Haijiang, he sat in the town. The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, the military, the government, the food, and the governor. It can be said that during his administration, Jia Lian was a veritable king of Jiangnan.Therefore, Jia Lianming appeared to have left the center of power in the capital, and looked like he had been released from Beijing, but he was actually promoted.

People in the capital are all well-known people, so no one thought that Jia Lian fell out of favor when he left Beijing.

Jia Lian's love for his subordinates, and Jia Lian's generosity are well known in the capital, but looking at those soldiers who followed Jia Lian in Xishan, all of them have now become lords and lords.Tens of thousands of soldiers died in the battle in Haijiang, but the officers and soldiers of Pingzi Battalion in Xishan went back as many as they went, and no one was killed or injured.

This is the benefit of following a good general.If you are alone in this city, if the Shangguan oppresses you, it is useless not to give you a chance.

Therefore, as soon as the news of Jia Lian's release of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang came out, all kinds of people came to the door.

It started in the evening.There is an endless stream of greeting and congratulatory stickers from Jia's house, and there are also people who come to the door in person, such as Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan.And his father-in-law, Wang Zisheng, and Zhang's cousins ​​all came to congratulate him in person.Even Yuan Chun came home to recommend someone, but he came to intercede with the grandnephew of their old lady's family.

There are also six works that have some relationship or overlap with Jia Lian, and all of them came to congratulate with smiles, as if Jia Lian was a relative and nephew of their family.Not to mention the members of the family, they rushed to Rongfu one by one, for fear of falling behind and being taken advantage of by others.

However, Jia Lian needs manpower. As the governor, he has to supervise the military, government, money and food of the two provinces.However, Jia Lian needs talents, not slaves, which involves whether he can do something in the sea.Therefore, Jia Lian would not want any of the family's nephews except Jia Yun.

Jia Lian has his own plans for recruiting the shogunate.

Before receiving the exact appointment, Jia Lian turned to visit Uncle Lin and asked Uncle Lin for advice on government affairs.In fact, it was Uncle Lin who asked for someone. Back then, Uncle Lin was able to gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River and sort out all the twists and turns without the help of Kaifu.

If you want to be a good magistrate, you can't just rely on yourself as a leveraged commander. This requires talents-the master.

Under Uncle Lin's subordinates, there are two competent book clerks. They are the two wronged and impoverished sons that Uncle Lin rescued in the Jiangnan season.

Jia Lian said something, hoping that Uncle Lin would give up.

Uncle Lin said: "I used to be the master and the curtain with them, but now I am half teacher and half friend, so I can't make decisions for them. But I can introduce them for you. Whether you can impress them is up to you."

Jia Lian begged again and again, but Uncle Lin said: "Twisted melons are not sweet. If I order them, they will definitely give me face, but can you guarantee that they will do things for you honestly?"

Jia Lian had no choice but to bite the bullet and nodded: "Please introduce my nephew to my uncle!"

"Wait!" Lin Ruhai went to the backyard, smiled at the two staff members, and said, "You guys have enough leisure time here, it's time to go out and stretch your legs."

The two masters got up and called Dong Weng to Uncle Lin, but they didn't answer any more, they just played chess by themselves.

Uncle Lin smiled and said: "I told you last time that there was a nephew who saved my life, and it is this person who is here to invite you today!"

One of them was surnamed Jiang, he raised his head and asked, "Could it be the one from Rongfu?"

Uncle Lin nodded: "It's him!"

The two stopped the chess game immediately.

Shaoxing was born as a master, and both of them are from Shaoxing.When there was a major fraud case in the south of the Yangtze River, they were implicated in it, and their reputation was dismissed. Then, the real principal criminal bribed witnesses to identify them as the chief criminal, and they were sent to prison and asked to be executed.

Uncle Lin first came to Jiangnan at that time, and when he heard the criminals calling for grievances at the execution ground, he felt that something was wrong, so he argued hard, and the two of them narrowly escaped death.However, they were also deprived of their qualifications for juren because the following criminals filed a lawsuit against Xuezheng at the time.

Therefore, although they have the talent to raise people, they do not have the name of raising people.

Although, following Jia Lian to return to his hometown to be an official is considered a return to his hometown in fine clothes, and he can regain his original loss.

However, the two of them thought highly of themselves, and ordinary people would not like to serve them. Although they had heard about Jia Lian and said he was very good, they didn't know what was going on, and they inevitably showed some hesitation on their faces.

Uncle Lin understood the hearts of the two of them very well, and said with a smile: "I have already told my nephew that I am only responsible for recommending you for him. As for whether you are willing or not, it depends on your own wishes, so don't have any scruples .”

Hearing these words, the two bowed in unison and bowed together: "Those who know me, my lord also!"

For a while, Jia Lian was welcomed into the door.Seeing the two of them sitting at the head, Jia Lian knew that these were the two staff members, so Jia Lian bowed to greet Uncle Lin first, and then bowed his hands to the two: "Hi, gentlemen, Xiao Ke is being polite here."

When they saw that Jia Lian was in a high position but polite and courteous, they couldn't help but half agreed in their hearts.

The two exchanged glances, and stood up together to return the salute: "Don't dare, your lord is too polite."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "You two are seniors, and you are friends with Uncle Lin, Xiao Keli should respect you!"

Mr. Jiang smiled and said: "Master Lin has already explained the purpose of your visit, but now I want to ask you, how do you want to persuade me and the two of you? Don't talk about money, Mr. Lin is not stingy, we are not short of money!"

Jia Lian said with a smile, "Xiao Ke has three reasons, and thinks she can impress Mr.

Master Jiang cupped his hands: "I would like to hear the details!"

Jia Lian said: "First, as far as I know, the two gentlemen are from Fujian and Zhejiang. As the saying goes, if you are an official for thousands of miles, you will return to your hometown in fine clothes. I am afraid that the two gentlemen are thinking about it day and night, dreaming about their hometown. You will not deny it, right?" ?”

Master Jiang nodded.

Jia Lian said again: "Mr. left home but was imprisoned wrongly. People in my hometown may still have doubts about the innocence of the two gentlemen. The two gentlemen are not willing to mention that they exposed their scars back then. The reason why you are willing to go back. Furthermore, if the two gentlemen go back on their own, I am afraid that you will talk dry, and not many people will think that you are really innocent. If the gentlemen return to their hometown with Xiao Ke to be an official, why bother to argue ?”

The two were very moved when they heard this.

Can you be innocent if you can be hired by the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang as an aide?

Seeing the reaction of the two, Jia Lian's confidence increased greatly: "Thirdly, the two gentlemen will follow Xiao Ke and assist Xiao Ke, then at least there will be fewer or no people who have been wronged like the gentleman in Fujian and Zhejiang. "

At this time, that Mr. Yan also stood up, with a look of appetite and weeping on his face, and his eyes were a little moist.

Seeing this, Jia Lian was overjoyed and bowed, "You two gentlemen, do you think so?"

Both bowed and bowed in unison: "Meet Dong Weng!"

Earlier, Jia Lian selected personal guards from Changping, but this time half of them went to Haijiang to make meritorious service, and now they have titles.They were the emperor's imperial army, not Jia Lian's private soldiers. This time they could no longer follow Jia Lian, nor were they suitable to be Jia Lian's personal guards.

And it would be more beneficial for the Rong Mansion if they stayed in the Imperial Forest Army.

Therefore, Jia Lian asked Guan Shan to reselect twenty 15-year-old children from Changping to form a guard team again.Before leaving, Calligraphy and Calligraphy found Jia Lian and asked to follow him to Haijiang for experience.

Jia Lian was very surprised: "Although you don't have a title, you have already achieved the status of Duke Yuhou. After a few more years, it will not be difficult to get promoted. Why bother to follow me to the sea? Besides, you are not young anymore, you are seventeen, you should Get married in the capital, don't look too high, there are as many people as there are, and it's almost done, if you choose any more, your son will be delayed!"

But Shu Mo Shuhua said: "We don't care whether we are officials or not, we don't care if we get married or not. We are just impatient to stay in Kyoto and want to go out for a walk. Last year when we went to Haijiang, there were Japanese pirates making troubles, so we didn't dare to take a look. We It is very interesting to go to Huahua Haijiang, and the villages and towns over there, we want to go and see."

Jia Lian had to agree.

Jia Lian accepted the calligraphy, ink, calligraphy and painting here, and these two people are more than enough to be masters of money and food. They are good at painting and have a good memory. If they are criminals, they will be very good.

Jia Lian is in the study to meet people recommended by various sources, and to select those who are available.

Unexpectedly, Luo Shicheng found Jia Lian. Jia Lian was very surprised: "Brother Luo, what is the meaning of this? Didn't you already have a title? It’s not a problem, or it’s not bad to stay in the Imperial Forest Army to develop.”

Luo Shicheng said with a smile: "Students don't lie to adults. Students' sons and daughters are about to talk about their relationship. It's easy for sons to talk about it, but it's hard for daughters to arrange it. If people talk about father's official position, I'm in the dusk, and no one in Kyoto really cares. Furthermore, my family is not rich, a girl does not have a dowry, and my father is ordinary, dissatisfied with adults, my eldest daughter is fourteen, and seeing Ji, I want to find a scholar for her to marry, let alone write about the master , even Xiucai opened his mouth and asked, "How high is the unknown girl's father promoted?"

Jia Lian was stunned: "Isn't it true that your Luo family is also a family of officials?"

Luo Shicheng waved his hand: "My family's ancestral business is my brother's, and my father has been a doctor all his life. Most people in Kyoto are rich and powerful... The people who come to ask for marriage are either the bastards of the big families or the widowers older than me. How can I let my flowery daughter match the old man? I want to fight again, but my lord knows that a student is a civil servant. It is impossible for the literati in China to have a bright future."

Jia Lian snorted coldly: "This is really a downturn in the world, why don't I ask my wife to be a matchmaker for my brother?"

Luo Shicheng shook his head: "Let's forget it, my wife said that it's because fate didn't come."

Seeing Luo Shicheng's vote, Jia Lian was very happy. In Haijiang, Jia Lian was able to quickly pull up the Shuiziying and Kuiziying, thanks to the help of Luo Shicheng, Du Yuhou. Calculate with the head of the enemy.In the great battle fought by the Imperial Forest Army back then, 500 people divided up [-] heads, which was not enough at all. Jia Lian still sought out Captain Yunqi on his body for him.

With Luo Shicheng, Jia Lian has nothing to worry about when it comes to money and food.

Luo Shicheng seemed to see Jia Lian's worry, and said, "To tell you the truth, my lord, the student also has a brother who is close to me. He worked together in the household department before. He was the official clerk. The last time the rubbing of the mortgage in the lord's house was passed through him. His hand, he was also kicked by Master Shangshu last time, I went to Xishan, and he was annoyed to help others shop in Liuli Street."

Jia Lian asked, "What's his name?"

Luo Shicheng said: "His name is Zhang Zhang!"

Jia Lian was thoughtful, the name sounded familiar.

Luo Shicheng smiled and said: "That's right, he voted under Erye Liu, and it was Ziying who led him."

Jia Lian laughed immediately; "This guy, the others didn't come, but the spies were sent in first!"

Before the words fell to the ground, Feng Ziying walked in giggling: "This is an unjust death. It is clear that Xiao Liuzi is lazy and unwilling to deal with those account books, so I begged me to be a good man."

Jia Lian knew that Jia She really wanted to be a vegetarian, so before leaving, he told Ping Er to make tea and vegetarian soup for Jia She every day with Lingquan water.

This time, Jia Lian left, taking away Zhao Liangdong, Jia Yun and his wife, almost all the pregnant women in Jia's mansion, Lin Xiaohong and Si Qi, all twins, Xiaohong's first child learned from Sister Feng and gave birth to a daughter.And two years later, her daughter is two years old now, and Du Ruoxin hasn't moved any more.

Du's family has been single-handed down for several generations, and their fertility is not as bad as usual. It was the daughter who secretly gave him tonic soup against Jia Lian's advice.

Jia Lian took their husband and wife to Haijiang this time because he wanted to rely on the strength of Du Ruoqing's mother clan.The biggest reason is to take care of Du Ruoxin and Jia Yun.

Otherwise, a letterhead will suffice.

All his life, Jia Amnesty spent his life doing nothing but drinking and gambling, playing hard games and playing tricks.

This time Jia Lian fought desperately and finally avenged his eldest son's wife.Jia She rarely had a thought.Take the initiative to discuss with Jia Lian how to dispel Prince Xi's suspicion.

Jia Lian's eyes filled with tears when he looked at his father who was a late bloomer.

The next day, Jia Amnesty went to Tianqi Temple and lit the ever-burning lanterns.From then on, Jia Amnesty became a sight in the gatherings on the ground in Kyoto. Whoever treats guests, Jia Amnesty always replaces wine with tea, and does not touch meat or fish.

At first, everyone thought that Jia She was really a monster, and it was estimated that three or five days would pass, but in the end, Jia She persisted for a month, which is very valuable for Jia She, who has no wine and no joy.
