Practical Life in the Red Mansion

While Jia Min asked people to tell Tanchun about the candidates, he also asked people to inquire about Xue Baoqin's marriage.It turned out that Mei Hanlin received funding from Xue Baoqin's father when he took the imperial examination, so he wanted to marry Qin and Jin.But as Mei Hanlin gained a firm foothold in Beijing, and his son had some talent in the imperial examinations, he didn't want to recognize Xue's in-laws who couldn't bring him any main force.But he was afraid that others would call him ungrateful, so he came up with the trick of procrastinating.

Jia Min told Xue Biao the news of the investigation, and Xue Biao visited Jia Min with the restraint unique to young people and the respectful face of superiors.After Jia Min asked about his plans, after all, if Xue Baoqin could marry into Mei Hanlin's family, it would be good for the Xue family.Although Xue Biao had a gentle expression, his tone was very firm and he said: "Thank you, madam, for blaming my sister. I have thought about it for a long time, and I said that the family is right, so the Mei family is not a good match."

This is about leaving the Mei family's marriage, and Jia Min asked again: "Then you must have a plan in mind?" Xue Biao replied: "The younger generation plans to go to the place where the Mei family takes office, and meet Mei Hanlin, Retire this marriage." Jia Min took a sip of tea and said, "You must have made up your mind, but the Mei family is an official after all, and your family..." Xue Biao hurriedly said: "Thank you, Ma'am. point."

Jia Min said disapprovingly, "I didn't say this to listen to your thanks, but it's more convenient for me to do some things." Xue Biao hurriedly said: "Thank you Madam for your kindness, but the younger generation is afraid that Madam will be involved. It is the younger generation and my younger sister who are to blame for Madam's criticism." If Jia Min came forward, it might be thought that Jia Min was bullying others, and the Mei family would suddenly become victims.

Jia Min smiled and said: "I don't care about those gossips now." As Jia Min, even if he had these words, he only dared to say them in private. But Jia Min has nothing to do with the Xue family, Jia Min is still willing to make decisions for them, the Xue family cannot repay this kindness.

Jia Min seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said: "Baoqin and my little girl are friends, Baoqin's marriage has twists and turns, and my daughter is also worried. As a mother, I don't want to see my children embarrassing things. Here, I also I like Baoqin very much, and I can't bear her to be wronged." Knowing that Jia Min sincerely wanted to help them, Xue Biao quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, madam, it is hard to repay such kindness."

After sending Xue Biao away, Xu Hua's family said, "This is really two kinds of fruits on one vine." Jia Min knew that she was talking about Xue Biao's house and Xue Pan's house, and said with a smile: "Evil bamboos are still out." It’s a good bamboo shoot, besides, it’s not a house owner.” Xu Hua’s family rubbed Jia Min’s shoulders and said, “Madam really wants to intervene.” Jia Min narrowed his eyes and said, “Yu’er has a kind heart, if that girl from the Xue family So if something goes wrong, I will definitely blame myself, and the older I get, the more I want to see everything go well."

Xu Hua's family laughed lightly and said: "Madam is kind-hearted. Worrying about my niece's marriage is not counted, but also worrying about other people's affairs." Jia Minjing said when she said she thought of Tanchun's marriage: "Tan girl, what news do you have?" Come?" Xu Hua's family couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The third girl has chosen the Juren surnamed Zheng."

Jia Min came and said excitedly: "I actually chose this person." Among the candidates Jia Min gave were noble sons and young handsome men. It is worth mentioning that this Zheng Juren is 21 and a little older.Xu Hua's family said: "Miss Cousin said that this family has strict rules."

But Jia Min chuckled, and said, "If I choose, I will choose this person too." Then only the scholars are left.Among the remaining scholars, Zheng Juren's family is well-off, and he doesn't need to worry about the family after Tanchun. Moreover, Zheng Juren is the second son and the only one in the family who won the exam. Not only does Tanchun marry in the future, not only does she not need to stay in her hometown to serve In-laws, others have to flatter her.

Xu Hua's family said: "The rest is to ask Zheng Jiale if he is happy." Jia Min said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Zheng family will agree." If you want to get married with someone in Beijing, you can only find the daughter of a small official family. In comparison, Tanchun is the best born within the range he can marry, and Tanchun himself is not bad.

Xu Hua's family said again: "I'm afraid the old lady and the second wife are not happy." Jia Min said disapprovingly: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, in the final analysis is my second brother's decision. He claims to be a scholar, so he is naturally willing to find a scholar to do it." Son-in-law." Xu Hua's family heard the strong irony in Jia Min's words, Jia Zheng pretended to be noble, but he might not have any intention of marrying Tan Chun into a noble family in exchange for benefits.

Jia Min said, "It's a big deal for our master to be a matchmaker." If he was facing Jia Min, Jia Zheng might still rely on his elder brother's status to push the marriage, but if he was facing Lin Hai, Jia Zheng would definitely would agree.Xu Hua's family couldn't help but chuckled and said: "Madam has a way." Jia Min said with a smile: "It's the master who has the ability, otherwise I wouldn't dare to be so majestic."

Jia Min got up and walked to the backyard, whispering: "It's all to accumulate blessings for the children, and I don't know what happened to Brother Yang."

Lin Yang is very good, and Wang Dahai's smooth surrender made him feel good. Although the people in the court objected to his way of recruiting security, he already had a way to deal with it. In a few days, he and Li Yan jointly announced several decrees : All civilians attached to Japanese pirates and traitors who return to their homeland will not be punished, and if they have status, they will not be punished.Those who can kill bandits and flee back will be rewarded, and those who can lead their troops to escape will not be punished.However, those who have fled back are not allowed to attach again, and those who are attached will not be pardoned.

These are aimed at those people who are attached to the Japanese pirates.As for the two thorny issues of opening a treaty port and relocating Wang Dahai, Lin Yang solved them with only one method.The imperial court selected merchants and allowed them to go to sea to trade normally with foreigners. The merchants had to restrain the supervision and those who traded with them must not disturb the tranquility of the coast. This prevented Japanese pirates from taking the opportunity to sneak into the inland areas.

Of course, the qualifications of businessmen must be strictly examined by the court. Officials may recommend businessmen, but once something happens, the person who recommends is also responsible.Merchants also had to pay taxes to the imperial court. This tax was not used elsewhere, but was only used for coastal defense against the Japanese.

Lin Yang recommended Wang Dahai.

The author has something to say: the author's brain hole:

After Jiang Jing took a bath, she found that her youngest son, Brother Mao, was standing at the door of the inner room with a pillow in his arms, and when he saw Jiang Jing, he quickly rushed over and stuffed the pillow in Jiang Jing's hand and said excitedly: "Mother said , let me sleep with her tonight, and let father go to the study."

Jiang Jing bent down and pinched the fat face of her youngest son, saying: "You are very happy." She seemed to be talking to herself, "Your mother is angry with me again." Stepping on the ground, he said, "Father let go of me, mother is still waiting for me to go back."

"Brother Mao" Jiang Jing said with a smile: "Do you want to ride a horse?" Brother Mao's eyes lit up and said, "Does father want to take me?" Everyone is courageous, but a child of your age who wants to sleep with his mother is a little timid."

Brother Mao retorted anxiously: "I don't, I can sleep alone, father, you can take me to ride a horse." Jiang Jing pretended to think for a while before saying: "Okay, then let me see your horse. How dare you." Brother Mao nodded again and again, Jiang Jing suppressed a smile, and said: "This is a good boy." Smiling, he asked the wet nurse to lead Brother Mao out.

It was easy to dismiss his silly son, but his wife was not so easy to deal with. Jiang Jing couldn't help but rubbed the space between her brows, and walked in lightly.Daiyu was doing needlework under the lamp, Jiang Jing hurriedly walked over to take away the embroidery work in Daiyu's hands, and said, "Didn't I tell you not to let you do needlework, there is a sewing woman at home, and you need to bother to do it there."

Daiyu let him take away the needle and thread in her hand, looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Yo, I coaxed your son away." "Yu'er, you can't say that." Sitting down next to him, he said: "It was our son who said he wanted to be a sensible child, so he went back to the room with the wet nurse." Daiyu snorted softly and ignored him.

Jiang Jing put her hand on her back and said, "Okay, I was wrong today." Then Daiyu said, "Then tell me what's wrong with you?" Jiang Jing put her other hand around Daiyu's. Shoulder said: "I'm narrow-minded." Seeing that Daiyu's face was not very good, Jiang Jing hurriedly began to explain: "I originally planned to pick you up and the child back today. You and the child have lived in the princess mansion for so long. Time left me alone in the mansion." Jiang Jing slowly approached Daiyu's ear and said, "At first I didn't know he was there, but I only found out when I was in the government office."

Daiyu pushed away his hand on her waist and said: "What is his status now, you still talk to him like that." Jiang Jing immediately smiled and hugged Daiyu, "I knew you were worried about me " Daiyu turned her face away and said nothing, Jiang Jing coaxed: "You can rest assured, he has never been a narrow-minded person, and I didn't say anything else." Daiyu said: "Yes He is a magnanimous person, but you are narrow-minded, and you can still deceive your own children."

Jiang Jing said aggrievedly: "I am also thinking about our son, he is a boy and he needs to go through more training, but," Jiang Jing suddenly stood up and bent down, hugged Daiyu horizontally, and said to her ear: "If you give me a daughter, I will definitely put her in the palm of my hand and take good care of her."
