Brother Jia Sheshu of the Red Chamber

For the sake of her son, even if she was dissatisfied in her heart, Mrs. Lin still smiled and arranged for Lin Hai to get married. In order to show their importance to Jia Min, Mrs. Lin not only went to Jia Min's house to bring Jia Min a hairpin, but even took Lin Hai's hairpin. The family heirloom ─ ─ a pair of Warring States jade biscuits with valley patterns.

Not only that, but Lin Hai personally hunted a pair of live geese back, which really made Jia Min look good.

Although Lin Hai was born in a scholarly family, he grew up in the Rongguo Mansion after all. With daily contact, his riding and shooting skills are somewhat better than Jia Zheng's.

Seeing his son-in-law, who can be said to be both civil and military, and well-off, Jia Li also smiled a little more rarely.

Because Jia Min was still young, the Lin and Jia families were just getting engaged first, and Jia Li's family insisted on keeping Jia Min for another year. Although the Lin family was somewhat dissatisfied, the Jia family was powerful, and the old lady Jia and Jia Daishan were here. In fact, they were also helping Jia Li's family, so the Lin family had no choice but to do so.

Although Lin Hai wanted to bring Sister Min back home as soon as possible, but thinking about Sister Min's age, she was indeed too young. If she forced a child, her life might be in danger, so she calmed down and waited for Jia Min to grow up.

Lin Ruhai's engagement ceremony, even if he had some unclear relationship with the Lin family, Mo Jiang still came to congratulate him in person.

Lin Hai knew that Mo Jiang didn't want to see his father, so he personally welcomed Mo Jiang into the study, and said with a smile, "I'm still worried that you won't come to drink, brother."

He was worried that his elder brother would not come because he did not want to see his father and wife.

Mo Jiang smiled and said, "I will definitely come for your engagement ceremony."

After all, Lin Hai is his only younger brother, and Jia Min is also his favorite. Naturally, he should attend their engagement wedding.After so many years, the two brothers have gotten to know each other well. Mo Jiang smiled and presented the congratulatory gift, "Congratulations, your wish has been fulfilled."

Lin Hai accepted the congratulatory gift casually, "Thank you, brother."

He said apologetically, "Speaking of which, it's my brother's fault, but I didn't know that Aunt Zhang had proposed to the Jia family first..."

Doctor Zhang and Mrs. Jia only revealed some words in private. Mrs. Jia Li didn't want to, but in the end it was fine. Not many outsiders knew about this matter. Lin Hai didn't know it at first, but Jia Min accidentally said it After showing his mouth, Lin Hai knew about it.

But it's annoying, there are some things that even brothers can't let.

"It's nothing." Mo Jiang said with a nonchalant smile, "I didn't know there was such a thing between my mother and Mrs. Jia. If I knew, I wouldn't let my mother talk about it."

Although the three of them are not childhood sweethearts, they are about the same age, and naturally have more contacts than others. The relationship between Haidi and Miss Min has already begun. Since he knew that Haidi was interested in Miss Min, he naturally would not go to Qin. kick.

Hearing that Mo Jiang didn't care, Lin Hai breathed a sigh of relief.

The two brothers were happy talking there, but they didn't know that Mrs. Lin, who was eavesdropping outside, was trembling with anger, wishing to rush in and slap Mo Jiang, and also wish to slap Lin Hai to wake up her son.There are so many daughters of good families in the capital, why do they all fall in love with the same girl as the mother and son of a slut surnamed Zhang?

Fortunately, Mrs. Lin had suffered a lot back then, and learned to behave a little better. She didn't make a fuss on the spot, she just said that she was not feeling well, and she hurried back to her room, ignoring the fact that there were many guests at the wedding.

"Ma'am." Not only Mrs. Lin was angry, but even Mrs. Lin's old mother was angry, "This Jia family is really too much. First, they promised Master Jiang, and then they agreed with Master Hai. What is our Lin family?"

To put it bluntly, are they picking up trash when they are young masters?

Mrs. Lin's face darkened, "Don't talk nonsense, otherwise...be careful that the Jia family directly peels your skin!"

Jia's mansion has always been domineering, if people know this, it would be easy to take Mammy's life directly.

There was a slight look of horror on the old mother's face, "Yes, this old slave understands."

The old mother paused, and asked in a low voice: "Ma'am, after doing such a thing in the Jia family, they still want Master Hai to engage Miss Jia Fourth?"

Mrs. Lin sighed, "Brother Hai's marriage was bestowed by the Holy Spirit, and this matter will never be changed."

Even if there is no marriage offer, it is impossible for them to break the friendship between Jialin and his family.

The old mother sighed: "This is too cheap for Miss Jia Si."

Mrs. Lin was very depressed, and thinking that Jia Min was picked by her son herself, her lungs really hurt.

Mrs. Lin's eyes turned slightly, "This brother Hai is getting older, but is there someone in the room?"

Originally, it was her mother who should arrange for Haige'er to be in the room, but it was not because Haige'er hadn't been by her side since he was a child, and this matter was delayed.

To put it bluntly, there are only two ways for a mother-in-law to torment her daughter-in-law, one is to establish rules, and the other is to grant a room.

She wanted to set rules for Jia Min, but Jia Min's health has always been bad. At the engagement banquet just now, Mrs. Jia also made it clear that Jia Min couldn't stand it. If something really happened, I'm afraid even she would be bad. Well, this matter can only be left for the time being, besides, no one is married yet, so what kind of rules should be established.

However, the matter of granting a room can be arranged. It can’t be that Hai Ge’er is going to get married. He doesn’t even understand the relationship between men and women. Besides, this is also the rule of the aristocratic family. Send it out before the day is over.

"No." The old mother said euphemistically, "Maybe it's because the Jia family's wife is not good enough to go over the wife and the master to arrange for Master Hai."

Speaking of this matter, the old mother felt pity for her brother Hai even more, saying that she would treat Brother Hai as her nephew. Brother Hai was already 20 years old, but he didn't even arrange a room to teach personnel. , It can be seen how negligent Hai Geer is usually.

As for the elder brothers of the Jia family, for example, the fact that Jia She and Jia Zheng did not have a room before they got married was selectively forgotten by the old mother.

Madam Lin's complexion changed slightly, and finally she muttered to herself: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, alas... after all, it's not my own, so I can wait for Brother Hai to go there."

She paced back and forth for a long time, and finally said: "You carefully select from the maids we brought from Suzhou, choose two with good character, and give them to Brother Hai after careful training."

The old mammy was overjoyed, and said yes in a low voice.

Her eyes flashed wildly, and her little granddaughter happened to be 16 years old, and she was round and cute. Everyone said that she was a sign of a man. If they were lucky, they might also be able to ascend to heaven with chickens and dogs.

Mrs. Lin hadn't rewarded Mrs. Lin for the room, so I let Lord Lin know about it first, and Lord Lin hurriedly stopped it, and even got angry with Mrs. Lin on a rare occasion.

"You actually want to give Hai Geer a room at this time?" Lord Lin jumped into a rage, "Are you trying to make the relationship between Hai Geer and Min girl unhappy?"

What good can there be if there is a room between husband and wife!He and Xuan'er can be considered to have a very good relationship between husband and wife, and it's not because of Aunt Zhang's quarrel for several years.

Don't do to others what you don't want to do to others. Is it possible for the children to suffer again for the crimes they suffered in the past?

Mrs. Lin, who was said to be on her mind, was slightly embarrassed, but she still insisted: "Brother Hai is already twenty, and he doesn't know personnel affairs, how can this be done? Besides, like our family, the young man next to him Don't have a room?"

Lord Lin said in a deep voice: "If it had been earlier, it would have been fine, but after Hai'er got engaged to Miss Jia Si, this matter would not be done."

Mrs. Lin was furious, "It is common sense for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but Jia Min dares not to allow it. Could it be that she is not afraid that others will say that she is domineering?"

"Master!" Mrs. Lin said anxiously, "You can't miss our Lin family's heirs just because Jia's family is powerful."

Lord Lin said leisurely: "Three wives and four concubines!? Common sense!? Then why did I only take in a few aunts, and you have been drugging those aunts in private to prevent our Lin family from spreading?"

Mrs. Lin gasped in shock. She never expected that what she did back then had been noticed by her husband.

Lord Lin continued: "You said that I dare not let Haier take over the house because of the power of Jia's family, you are right."

The husband directly admitted that he was afraid of the power of the Jia family. Madam Lin was stunned for a while, and she found her voice after a long time, and said bitterly, "I thought...you would never admit it in your life."

She knew that her husband was gentle on the outside, but he was really strong on the inside. She never thought that he would admit that he did not dare to offend the Rongguo Mansion.

Lord Lin smiled wryly, "Xuan'er, I'm over sixty years old, seventy is rare in my life, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of Brother Hai for many years."

Mrs. Lin's heart tightened, and she said hastily, "What nonsense are you talking about, we haven't had a grandson yet."

Lord Lin took Mrs. Lin's hand, and continued: "I can't care about Brother Hai for a long time, Brother Hai still has to rely on his wife and family for his future. The Jia family is not an ordinary family, and they don't even have brothers Why do you accept the house, why does Hai Geer accept the house? We parents can't let a few house maids delay Hai Ge's future."

He didn't deny that he didn't let Hai Ge'er take over the house because of the power of the Jia family. Since he wanted to rely on his wife's family, he naturally had to make some sacrifices.

Although Lord Lin made it clear, Mrs. Lin was still a bit unwilling, "But..."

Lord Lin sighed: "Xuan'er, although I have two sons, you should understand in your heart that I have always been partial to Hai Geer, how could I not consider Hai Geer?"

Regardless of the difference between the concubine and the concubines, emotionally, he is naturally partial to Hai Geer whom he raised.

Mrs. Lin was silent, she naturally understood this, otherwise she would not have agreed with her husband to send Hai Geer to study in Beijing.Under Lord Lin's repeated persuasion, Mrs. Lin finally gave up the idea of ​​rewarding her son with a room.

Your husband is right, they still have to rely on Jia's family right now, let's wait for the future...

Not long after Lin Jia and his family got engaged, Jia Daishan quietly went to the Northeast. Although there were Wang Ziteng and Mo Ming in the Northeast, the positions of the two were a bit low after all, and they were dissatisfied with each other. I'm afraid that the Jurchen won't solve it, but my own people will also fight. The most suitable candidate is naturally Jia Daishan.

Jia Daishan is his adoptive father. Neither Wang Ziteng nor Mo Ming dare to treat him disrespectfully. In addition, Jia Yuan has been rooted in the Northeast for many years. Up to now, some Northeast Army still only know Jia Yuan but not Wang Ziteng and Mo Ming. Ming, it would be perfect for Jia Daishan to go to town.

What's more, Jia Daishan has cheated a lot of his Dajin No. [-] rifle back to Jia's mansion over the years. For young people, he even became the No. [-] sniper in Dajin without a teacher.

The Dajin No. 250 rifle has a limited range, and the accuracy is not enough at a long distance, but Jia Daishan is able to hit a target [-] meters away, which is indeed extremely rare given his age and eyesight.

In addition, he can even play with the Jingrong cannon newly made by the military department, but the mathematics is not very good, and the calculation speed of the shooting point is a bit slow, but Mo Gu gave him a Casio computer in private, Jia Daishan After earnestly studying mathematics with Brother She, he has improved a lot, and became the king of guns in the Jin Dynasty in an instant!Although it is obtained by computer cheating.

If it wasn't for Jingrong's heavy cannon, Jia Daishan might have found a way to get one back to Jia's house to play, and he didn't think about whether he could shoot a cannon in such a small place as Jia's martial arts field.

In any case, Jia Daishan is considered an all-round talent in the military. Let him go to the Northeast.

As for the northwest, he sent Feng Tang, the general of martial arts, who is Feng Tang, I am afraid that most of the fans are not clear, but when it comes to his youngest son Feng Ziying, anyone who has read Dream of Red Mansions will know who Feng Tang is. Know.

Feng Tang was Jia Daishan's deputy brought out by himself, so even after the Rongguo Mansion fell, he was close to the Jia family. Jia Daishan's eldest daughter even married into the Feng family. This person is also very familiar with the Northwest military, so let him go The Northwest can also stabilize the morale of the army.

Right now everything is ready, only Jurchen owes the favor, Mo Gu secretly wanted to gather the oil-producing Siberia into the Jin territory.

Jia Daishan took thirty brand-new Jingrong guns and one thousand Dajin No. [-] rifles to the northeast. For the guns Jia Daishan brought, Wang Ziteng and Mo Ming welcomed them from the bottom of their hearts. Not very welcoming anymore.

When they thought about it, Jia Daishan had reached the age where he could play with his grandchildren, so why would he go to the battlefield and compete with them for military exploits?Not to mention that in his capacity, it would be troublesome if he pointed fingers at them.

The two guys who have always been at odds with each other rarely worked together to hint to Jia Daishan. Jia Daishan pulled out the short gun in front of the two without saying a word, and performed 36 kinds of fancy marksmanship on the spot , the two of them shut up instantly.

Therefore, in recent years, in addition to the Dajin No. [-] rifle, people have also been asked to develop short guns with the same bullet specifications. What Jia Daishan is currently using is the latest research and development of the Ministry of Industry.Although it is not as good as the modern May [-]th pistol, but in this era, it can be fired continuously and has a high accuracy rate, which is enough to deter many people.

Over the years, although Wang Ziteng and Mo Ming were far away in the northeast, they were often forced by Mo Gu to return to the military academy to attend classes. Although they did not play as many guns as Jia Daishan, at least their eyesight was developed. When they saw Jia Daishanlu With this hand, we know that the Holy One has not only developed a new gadget, but also Jia Daishan has already figured out this new gadget and is familiar with it.

Mo Ming even made a connection, and said with a smile, "I'm talking about big cousin."

Jia Daishan suddenly had goose bumps. Although Mo Ming is indeed his cousin, Mo Ming is a collateral branch of the Mo family. The relationship is actually a bit far away. The two families have not had much contact since before, even if the Mo family reverses the case later. After he died, he seldom interacted with each other. Mo Ming suddenly called him his cousin, which made him feel a little unbearable.

"Ahem..." Jia Daishan coughed in embarrassment, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Mo Ming smiled and said: "We are relatives, we should walk around more."

Wang Ziteng glared at Mo Ming, who had directly recognized his relatives, and asked with a smile: "Old man, do you dare to ask Brother Zhu and Sister Yuan?"

Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun are his nephews. Compared with Mo Ming's relationship of three thousand miles, their in-law relationship is naturally closer. It's a pity that the younger sister is seriously ill, otherwise the two families would be even closer .

Referring to the two well-behaved grandchildren, Jia Daishan showed a kind smile, "They are all very good, Mrs. Li takes good care of the two children, and your elder brother always asks people to take the two children to live there. No need to worry."

Wang Ziteng showed a hint of gratitude, "Thank you, old man, for helping to take care of my younger sister and the two children."

With Jia Zheng's words, Jing Ni and the two children were all ruined.

Originally, the Jia family had already separated. After Jia Yuan's filial piety, Jia Zheng's room should have moved out of the Rongguo Mansion, but the Wang family was already in a coma, the two children were young, and Jia Zheng was not a capable person. Let the people in Jia Zheng's room be separated, not to mention that Wang Jingni's situation is not good, I'm afraid even the two children will suffer along with it.

Jia Daishan and Jia Li's family raised two children, and they really couldn't bear the two children to suffer with Jia Zheng, so they made the decision to keep Jia Zheng's family and divide the property without separating the family.The West Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion was divided for Jia Zheng to live in, while the two children continued to stay with them in the Rongxi Hall. As for the Wang family, they continued to stay in the Lixue Hall on the grounds that they were too sick to move.

Although it's a bit strange for a family of three to live in three places, it has to be said that it is beneficial to the Wang family and the two children. After all, Jia Zheng is really cold-hearted, and he rarely guarded the Wang family during the three years of guarding Jia Yuan's filial piety. Not to mention, but also stealing and selling the things in Wang's dowry, the Jia and Wang families were so angry that they almost turned their faces.

As for the two children, he seldom cares about them. He usually hangs out with the common room, or buys aphrodisiac medicine everywhere. If it weren't for the sake of Jia Daishan and the Holy Father, Wang Ziteng would have taken action long ago, making people ruthless. Jia Zheng was taught a lesson.

Jia Daishan seemed to have thought of this too, and sighed: "Zi Teng is too polite, it's because I have no way to teach my son."

It goes without saying that Yu Ting made Mrs. Wang bedridden for many years; as for Jia Zheng...it made him lose all his old face in this life. After breaking up the relationship, even the Holy Majesty was rarely angry.

His Majesty had complied with what his father had said back then, and had bestowed on Brother Zheng a sixth-rank position as head of the Ministry of Rites. He was barely an official in Beijing. After this incident, His Majesty directly demoted Jia Zheng by four ranks , was relegated to the official eight-rank Ministry of Rites.

Jia Daishan understood in his heart that if Gu Geer didn't look at his father's face, Zheng Geer might not even be able to keep the eighth-rank rites secretary. If his adopted son is like this, Jia Daishan really wished that Jia Zheng would be taken away when Jia Zheng was born. Let Zheng be strangled to death.

Wang Ziteng smiled wryly, "I can't blame the old man for this matter."

Over the years, he did not know how many times he regretted marrying Jing Ni to Jia Zheng, a good-for-nothing. He knew that Jia Zheng was not a good person, but he married his younger sister because of the power of the Jia family. The poor younger sister was only 17 years old, but she became The living dead, lying on the bed for several years, and that fellow Jia Zheng...

Wang Ziteng's eyes dimmed, both the old man and the old man gave him a hand, and he, Wang Ziteng, is not a person who doesn't know how to repay him. For this kindness, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will repay Jia's family one or two, But Jia Zheng...he would never let him go.

Mo Ming saw that Wang Ziteng and Jia Daishan were gradually getting closer because of their children, so he stopped being devious and asked directly: "Big cousin, when will the new thing come down? Every army will arrange how many?"

Wang Ziteng couldn't wait to say: "Old man, I am guarding Liaoyang Mansion, which is much more dangerous than Master Mo's guarding. We can give us more of this stuff."

"Master Wang's words are not correct." Mo Ming shook his head and said, "Heilongjiang, which I guard, is closer to Russia than Liaoyang Mansion. If I really want to say it, I'm afraid I need more here."

Seeing that the two were arguing for the new gun, Jia Daishan said angrily, "Do you really think that this Dajin No. [-] pistol is so easy to get? The Holy Majesty has been eating vegetarian for several months to build these Dajin No. [-] pistols to save money." .”

The Great Jin Dynasty spent a lot of money to make these guns over the years. The production of these short guns this time was saved by the Holy One from his private house. To put it bluntly, since the birth of my old brother, he It was the first time I saw my old brother worry about money.

Wang Ziteng and Mo Ming looked at each other with disbelief on their faces.

Jia Daishan stared, "Why, you doubt what the old man said."

"It's not doubting..." After all, Mo Ming dared to reply, relying on his seniority, "Your Majesty is alone, if you are alone, how much money can your Majesty save by being alone?"

Cough, it's not a strange thing for the emperor to cry for poverty. He also cried for poverty when Emperor Pingkang made the Northern Expedition to the Jurchens, but he didn't expect Emperor Jingrong to cry so fakely. Some military expenses have been spent, but the sage is alone, how much can the sage save alone?

Jia Daishan was silent, secretly feeling sorry for his old brother. Sure enough, the lonely family is not strong enough to do anything. Sure enough, it is not enough to play a one-man show alone. After returning to Beijing, he must suggest that his old brother hire a few court ladies. Someone is joking.

"Cough." Jia Daishan decided to ignore this matter. "Anyway, it's not easy to make this Dajin No. [-] pistol, so I just brought a hundred of them here, and you two will share half of them."

Although he was a little dissatisfied, at least Jia Daishan was fair. Wang Ziteng and Mo Ming were fine with it. They each got half of it, and then practiced hard with Jia Daishan for 36 tricks.

Jia Daishan also carefully instructed the Northeast Army on how to use the new guns. Although the Northeast Army officers had returned to Beijing in batches to attend military academies, they had seldom practiced after all. Only then did I become familiar with the guns.

At the same time, the Jurchens finally started to act.

The Jurchen invaded for the first time, and Wang Ziteng blocked it ten miles away with the advantage of Jingrong cannon.

"It's finally here!" Mo Gu said in a deep voice.

When it came time for the war, instead of feeling uneasy, he felt a sense of the dust settled, but he was also slightly puzzled. Over the years, the preparations here in Dajin have been so great that it is absolutely impossible to end Jurchen, and Jurchen Ming Knowing that Da Jin is also prepared, how dare he start a war with Da Jin again?

The current Great Jin Dynasty is completely different from that of Emperor Kangdi. As long as the emperor is not stupid, it is absolutely impossible for the Jurchen to take over the Northeast.

Mo Gu asked, "How about Wang Ziteng?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, hundreds of people were killed or injured by Wang Ziteng, but the Jurchen vanguard was wiped out."

"A hundred people were killed or injured?" Mo Gu was slightly puzzled, considering the range of the Dajin No. [-] rifle and the strength of the Jingrong gun, so many people should not have been killed or injured.

Minister of the Ministry of War said with a smile: "In the first day of the firefight, the Jurchens were on the verge of fleeing. Wang Ziteng also specially organized a cavalry team to pursue them, and captured thousands of Jurchens soldiers, as well as a dozen bronze cannons brought by the Jurchens."

Minister of the Ministry of War paused and said again: "Most of the dead and injured soldiers were injured while chasing the Jurchens. Fortunately, the Jinjiang pill took effect very quickly, and most of the soldiers' injuries have stabilized."

Mo Gu frowned slightly, "I see."

Although Wang Ziteng had some abilities, he was too eager for quick success and didn't care about the lives of his soldiers. If he hadn't pursued the Jurchen deserters, he wouldn't have suffered so many casualties.

Although he didn't like Wang Ziteng's temperament, but Mogu knew that the general was out and the military order would not be tolerated. If he restrained him, he might make Wang Ziteng difficult to do things and instead miss the job, so he endured it. It's just for people to take good care of the casualties.

It's just that as the news of the battles came back, although they were victorious every time, the number of casualties was always slightly higher than that of Mo Ming. Not only that, Wang Ziteng has always done things not for himself, nor for others. Although he didn't kill the prisoners explicitly, most of the Jurchen prisoners fell into his hands with death.

It is also because of this that when the Jurchens faced Wang Ziteng's army, they also resisted much more seriously than other places. Some couldn't sit still, those Jurchen prisoners of war were still useful to him, so when discussing the matter, Mo Gu directly proposed that the imperial conquest be personally conscripted.

"Your Majesty!" Mo replied bluntly, "If the Holy Majesty would personally conquest, the military expenditure would be [-]% higher than what it is now."

How can it be compared with Rong Guogong who pulled a boatload of guns to go to the Northeast? Just to protect the people of the Holy One, the board, lodging and transportation along the way is an expense. The longer the Holy One stays in the Northeast , the more expensive the cost, [-]% is still an underestimation.

Mo Gu: "...I won't go."

Xd, he is definitely the poorest cultivator emperor in the world, not one of them.
