[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

"Water officer?" Jia Lian asked.

Jia Amnesty reminded him, "The officials of the southern navy are called Shui Guan'er, and they belong to the King of the South."

"I know, what are they looking for us for? Our father and I have nothing to do with Nanwangfu."

"Why haven't you been in touch? Haven't you seen anyone in their family? Or they haven't seen you? We've only met each other for a long time, so go out and see what they want from you."

Jia Lian promised to come out, and one of his nurses was waiting at the door, and when he saw Jia Lian coming out, he smiled, "My lord speaks clearly today."

"It's not like he's a fool if he doesn't drink... You don't look at the officials in this world. How can you be so miserable as your second master. When you come out to be an official, you have to bring your parents and a big family."

Speaking of going outside, I saw a black and thin man standing in the lobby. It could be seen that he was very tired, standing in the middle of the lobby.

As soon as he saw a young man coming in surrounded by the servants of the Jia family, he knew that this was the man he was looking for. "I have seen Second Master Jia."

"Sit, sit, sit, who are you? Any position under Nan Wang's account?"

"Humble jobs now strike for land."

The next two people spoke a few words briefly, and when Jia Lian held the cup and lowered his head to drink tea, he understood what he meant when he came to find him.

After saying a few words, he sent the man away and returned to the backyard.

Jia Amnesty is waiting for Jia Lian in the backyard.

"How is it? What is this person here for? Is he a confidant of King Nan? Can you let him send a message to King Nan, please do me a favor, and write a letter requesting that we return our titles."

"My lord, you're overthinking. I hear that it seems that Nan Wang has some mud bodhisattvas who can't protect themselves when they cross the river, let alone get your title back... Next time they come to their house, I dare not let them in."

"what happened?"

"The water officer came over just now and said that there is now a group of water bandits on the sea..."

"Water bandits? Not to mention water bandits, there are also bandits in the mountains every year. What is there to talk about—don't say that Nanwang can't bring them down!"

"I really can't do it. This water official came to the capital to ask the court to allocate more money to repair the warship, and secondly, he wanted people to find out where these water bandits came from."

Although Jia Amnesty was confused, he could hear it now, "Nan Wang suspects that these water bandits came from the court?"

"It sounds like this is what people mean. If they are really bandits, how can they be in command? It is also a bit of a skill to be able to push forward step by step and beat the navy to pieces, so as to swallow the dock of the navy. Yes. It’s hard for poor people to study these days, let alone commanding water bandits, unless the leader of the water bandits is talented.”

"Then King Nan has lost the battle." Jia She held his beard and thought for a while, "If he loses the battle, he will definitely be questioned, and he really shouldn't associate with their family anymore."

Suddenly, Jia She thought of a very crucial question, "The south is thousands of miles away from the capital. At this time, the King of the South may have lost the battle."

Jia Lian looked up at Jia Amnesty, and indeed ignored the problem of information transmission delay caused by too long space.

"If that's the case... I'm afraid this person didn't tell me the truth just now. It's one thing to ask the court for money to repair a warship, but another thing is to play a role in the court and absolve the Southern King."

Sure enough, it was the mud bodhisattva who could not protect himself when he crossed the river, no wonder he looked dusty just now, and he was unwilling to keep him for a night.

"None of us should go to the capital for a while. Baoding has the advantage of being far away from the capital... Let's just pretend we don't know about it."

Jia Amnesty was a little unhappy, "Those old relatives and old relationships in the past are all unhappy now... If King Nan doesn't pass the test this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to find someone to help us regain the title."

Jia Lian stood up, "Don't think about the title, there are so many people in the world who don't have a title, they can still live well."

The navy officer was immediately targeted by the inner guards after he entered the capital.

That night, the dowager concubine of the Southern Palace invited several other dowagers or princesses from the palace with different surnames.

The emperor waited very late in the imperial study, and only received the latest battle report from the south until the moon was in the middle of the sky.

It said "Great Victory", the specific content, the emperor asked people to light a few candles, and read it several times under the lamp.

The Southern King has been captured alive by Qilin. The Southern King has guarded the southern border for many years. Although he left his mother and princess in the north, he is like an emperor in the south. He has raised dozens of children and accumulated a mountain of treasures. Well, the people in the family say that they are rampant and domineering after they go out, which is not enough to describe arrogance.

Moreover, in collusion with other foreign races on the border, 15 princes of foreign blood alone were born, and the appointed officials never asked the court for instructions, and always only used their own people.

"I have long had the heart of disobedience, thinking that the emperor is far away because no one is looking at him, so he can be unscrupulous."

The emperor put away the letter and asked the sender, "How is the prince? Has he been injured?"

"I didn't get hurt when I returned to the emperor, it's just that I worked harder, and I looked darker and thinner than before."

The emperor sighed, feeling a little distressed, "This matter is considered finished, you tell the prince to let him come back sooner, both the queen and I want to see him sooner."

After finishing speaking, he asked again, "Did that old Nan Wang recognize the prince?"

"I didn't recognize the prince. When I was caught, I told the prince that I had eight beautiful daughters, and I was willing to give them to the prince. I also said that I was willing to sit on an equal footing with His Royal Highness, and make our prince a side-by-side king."

The emperor snorted coldly, "My son will be able to rule the world in the future, so it is not rare for him to be king side by side. Besides, why should he be named king side by side, and what right does he have to be king?"

The person who sent the letter was trembling, "That's why our prince ignored him and asked someone to imprison King Nan."

The emperor nodded after hearing this, "You go back first, come to the palace early tomorrow morning, and then tell the prince's performance these days in front of me and the queen, so that the queen can rest assured."

The visitor agreed and withdrew.

The emperor hid the letter in his bosom and went back to Ganlu Hall with his hands behind his back.

It was late at night, but the Rongguo Mansion was still brightly lit.

The old lady sat crookedly on the couch, and Yuanyang beat her legs with a beauty hammer.

The old lady sighed, looked outside the door, and asked Yuanyang, "Is the second wife here yet?"

Yuanyang looked back and put down the beauty hammer, "My servant, go to the second wife's yard to have a look."

"Go, if you are not in the yard, you can go to the garden and have a look."

Yuanyang agreed, took a lantern and went to the second wife's yard first, but went to the Grand View Garden after seeing no one.

After entering the Grand View Garden, there are few people here, there are many trees, and there are some shadowy things everywhere.

Carrying the lantern, I walked forward for a while, but I saw no one along the way, and the mandarin ducks had been to the Grand View Garden several times. At this time, I could say that I was familiar with the road. After walking for a while, I saw lights moving in front of me, so hurry up. Only recently did I realize that the person in front of me was Xue Baochai.

"It turned out to be Miss Bao."

"Who am I supposed to be? The one who left in such a hurry turned out to be a mandarin duck. Why didn't you come here before the old lady?"

"Come to find the second wife."

Xue Baochai glanced back, "Baoyu just fell asleep after drinking the medicine, and Auntie is taking care of the people in his yard. Why don't we wait here for a while, Auntie will come after a while."

Yuanyang agreed.

Xue Baochai asked, "Since the news came out two days ago that the empress is not good, now I see the old lady and the wife at home are a little uncomfortable... Now that there is no one in the house, why don't you invite Sister Feng back?" ?”

"The second grandma also has to take care of the whole family, especially brother Fang...too young to be away from mother."

"How can there be a capital outside? Why don't the mother and son come back together?"

"The elder is reluctant to part with his grandson."

"You should tell the old lady to bring back Second Master Lian's family... With the capabilities of the Rongguo Mansion, it's easy to find a job for Second Master Lian in the capital." While talking, he asked again, "I'll see now The Chinese New Year is coming, has the Cui family sent a New Year gift here?"

Seeing that she didn't inquire about her family's affairs, Yuanyang let her go, "Not yet, I think it was only after the Chinese New Year that I brought it here."

"That's not necessarily the case. People like them have always been slick, and they would rather give gifts early than late..."

Having said that, I heard footsteps behind me, and I looked back to see Mrs. Wang coming with someone.

Mrs. Wang said a few words to the two of them and left with Yuanyang. Xue Baochai led the people back to her yard slowly.

Xue Baochai didn't fall asleep immediately after returning home at night, but sat in the room thinking for a long time.

At that time, the Xue family gave up living in the Wang family and moved to Rongguo Mansion. The biggest reason was because there were empresses in the palace in Rongguo Mansion.

Now that the empress has passed away, although my aunt's family has a title, but this title is just a general's title, not the Duke of the past.

Moreover, the second master is a scholar... This title is also a military position, and none of the second master's descendants joins the martial arts.No matter how you look at it, the future is bleak.

When the empress was still alive that day, her family filled hundreds of thousands of silver in it, and now they haven't even seen the capital, so it is already a loss, and it is a wise choice to stop the loss in time.

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai woke up the maid, and the master and servant tidied up and went to sleep. Before going to bed, Xue Baochai planned to go back tomorrow to discuss with her mother and brother whether it was time to change the house.

Mrs. Wang went to the old lady's yard and saw that the old lady was still awake, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking.

Mrs. Wang was a little sad, "Your Majesty is gone now, and she hastily stopped for two or three days before being sent to the emperor's mausoleum for burial. The master was in the Ministry of Industry, and he also said that the mausoleum of the emperor is not in Xiaoci County... I don't know where the empress is buried. That's all, if the master wants to come back for the funeral, I'm afraid it's impossible."

The old lady sighed, "You put away the tears on your face first, our life will still go on, if you don't look at the others, you have to look at Baoyu, and then look at Lan'er, these two It is your hope in the future."

Mrs. Wang wiped her tears, "You are right."

"I called you here today because of Baoyu's business. He is not too young now. Now that the second girl is engaged, it's Baoyu's turn. I think Xiangyun is a good girl. The important thing is that their family has a double family. waiting."

"Even so, Xiangyun is an orphan girl..." Mrs. Wang wisely did not continue when she saw the old lady's expression.

"That's better than your niece. Baoyu is looking for a Yue family who can help him at this time. We are closer to the family. And don't think my words are harsh. Although Baochai is a good girl, but Her elder brother is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Although you brothers and sisters did things secretly that day, there are traces to be traced. If one day someone finds out his case... Have you ever thought about whether Baoyu will be punished by then? implicated?"

Mrs. Wang sighed, "I listen to the old lady."

"You should have listened to me a long time ago. You have to tell me about everything you do in the future... The enmity with the Lin family was also caused by you. These two days when I was free, I was thinking that the empress didn't show up at the beginning. Not exposed, far away in the south of the Yangtze River, how did the royal family know about her and canonize her as a concubine.

I have also dealt with the old lady of the Lin family. Although she seems to have a gentle temper, she has some tricks. If the granddaughter is not able to support the wall with mud, she will not leave so much gold and silver to her.

The old woman already had a grandson when she died, and the old woman loved her grandson, but she left things to her granddaughter... But if we can think about it, we won't be in trouble today. "

Mrs. Wang cried twice thinking of Jia Yuanchun, "It's meaningless for the old lady to say these things now, just like the old lady said, we have to look forward, there is something I just received news tonight, and I came here to talk to the old lady , ask the old lady to give you an idea."

"what's up?"

"Princess Nan'an wants to adopt a adopted daughter, or a granddaughter."

The old lady sat up, "What's this saying? It's okay if you meet a girl who likes to be adopted as a foster daughter... Listen to what you mean, it's just for the sake of adopting a foster daughter and adopting a foster daughter."

"My natal family received news that the King of Nan had suffered a defeat in the south, and the queen of Qianxiang Kingdom had called for a battle table to ask for the state. The King of Nan and the prince of Qianxiang Kingdom had agreed to send his daughter as a concubine princess. Give it to the prince..."

"Nan Wang and others agreed? What did the emperor say?"

"I don't know yet, the emperor will not object if I think about it, after all, the emperor is not willing to take the fight lightly."

"You are so confused," the old lady patted the pillow, "this country belongs to the emperor, King Nan... we don't need to worry about this matter."

Mrs. Wang was still a little unwilling, "Why don't we wait until then, if it's really what Nan Wang said, then maybe we will give the adopted daughter of Nan Wang's mansion a title."

The old lady knew her own daughter-in-law well, and she understood after a little thought. If someone wanted a foster daughter, it was really suitable to have a girl in the family.

Besides, this girl is not her own, even if she is sent thousands of miles away, whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with her.

Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but think a little more. It would not be impossible to exchange a granddaughter for the future of the whole family.

At noon, the messenger who delivered the letter got a thick letter from home, set off from the palace, rode a fast horse, changed to a fast boat at the pier, and headed south all the way.

Many people in the court also asked about the whereabouts of the prince, and the emperor only said that the prince had learned something from studying in seclusion during this period, and he would be able to leave the seclusion at the latest after a year.

Even though he said so, the courtiers didn't believe it, and many people were wondering if the prince was ill.

The emperor also knew that the courtiers were trying to figure out the prince's affairs, so he asked Qilin to come back early in the county.

After all, his son went out to be a pirate and had a bad reputation... Although King Nan has been arrested now, the power of King Yi Yi cannot be eradicated immediately after the year.

Especially right now, during this period of time, the four kings and eight males are very powerful in series.

Moreover, taking advantage of the cold weather, the Ningguo Mansion even became known as a horse archer, and countless people from Mr. Wang and Sun rushed to their house.As a result, there was a lot of traffic in front of the Ningguo Mansion, and the emperor was not unclear about what was going on inside.

I thought in my heart that I would clean up all this group of people by the end of next year at the latest.

Since she left first, Linlin felt much happier in her heart. She was looking forward to her son's return for the New Year happily, and also resumed the matter of the concubine's natal family coming to the palace to pay her respects.

Concubine Hu couldn't help running to the queen after sending her natal family away.

"Your Majesty, the concubine's sister-in-law said something to the concubine just now, and the more I thought about it in my heart, the more something went wrong, so come over and tell the concubine, and the concubine will also tell the emperor tonight.

Isn't Jia Rong's daughter-in-law Hu in the Rongguo Mansion the niece and daughter of a concubine?I heard her go back to her natal family and say that their family is a bit absurd. They gather a lot of dignitaries. They say they are practicing archery and horses. In fact, they drink and have fun every day, and play with fans... This matter is wronged and owed by the Ningguo Mansion. The boss...has nothing to do with our Hu family... Your Majesty..."

"I know, I know, you are afraid that your mother's family will be implicated when you ask the crime. You know, you go back and watch the third child. The fourth child is not too young. Wait until the wound on the second and third's buttocks heals. Let them take the fourth child out for a walk."

Concubine Hu agreed and went back. When she went out, she was still thinking that Ningguo Mansion and Hu's family could be separated or not, the most important thing is to leave her son out.

In fact, the wounds on the buttocks of Bai Ze and the third prince are almost healed. The emperor said that he would not give them food for three days, but he did not say that he would not give them snacks for three days. Concubine Hu felt sorry for the children and told Linlin specifically I wanted to eat dim sum stuffed with meat, so I specially asked someone to go to the imperial dining room and said that the stuffed dim sum should not contain onion, ginger and garlic.

Although Linlin was a little annoyed with Bai Ze, she thought that what you did was wrong, that you led people to do some gentlemanly deeds, but her son felt sorry for her.

They made goat's milk boiled and almonds were added to remove the fishy smell, and they made snacks of various flavors. Bai Ze spent three days lying on the bed eating, eating and sleeping.

When he was able to get up and walk around, his face was rosy, and his little face was slightly fatter.

When the two brothers came to the emperor, the emperor just snorted coldly seeing their expressions.

"It's said that loving mothers often lose children. That's true. I'll teach you a lesson this time. Next time you do such a serious thing, be careful to beat you so hard that you won't be able to get out of bed."

The two brothers agreed carefully, and saw the fourth child standing beside them again, come on, I understand, we are going to take care of the children.

Concubine Yan has been very busy recently, and in a blink of an eye, he saw his brother-in-law, tall and low, standing in front of him.

He patted his forehead with a headache, "What are you going to do when you leave the palace this time?"

"It's Chinese New Year soon, we just go out for a walk, brother-in-law doesn't need to worry about us... If your family buys new year's goods, call us, and we will follow to see and see."

Concubine Yan turned around and sent the three brothers-in-law to the Princess Mansion.

After arriving at the Princess Mansion, she found that there was a guest in the Princess Mansion, and it was Lin Daiyu.

When the three princes saw Lin Daiyu, they all called auntie.

Lin Daiyu entered the palace with Jia Min a few days ago, and did not see Bai Ze. Today, they were very happy to meet each other. After they stood up and greeted each other, Princess Shouchun entrusted her three younger brothers to send Lin Daiyu home.

"You are busy every day with nothing to do. I dare not ask you to buy new year's goods for our family. I will thank you for sending my aunt back."

It's not a big deal, after the meal, the fourth prince ate some greasy food and some raw melon dates, which caused him to have diarrhea.

Bai Ze left the third and fourth princes at the Princess Mansion, and personally sent his aunt back.

It was cold outside, and there was a brazier in Lin Daiyu's carriage. Lin Daiyu asked Bai Ze to ride with her in the carriage repeatedly, fearing that he would freeze to death on the horse.

Bai Ze couldn't refuse, so he also got into the carriage. The two of them walked to the street and were talking, when someone stopped the carriage ahead.

Bai Ze raised the curtain of the car and took a look outside to see the guard of honor of King Beijing Jing on the street.

"Why is it him?" Bai Ze put down the curtain, "Auntie, let's take a detour. The King of Jingjing is in front. There are many princes in the capital, but he is the only one who sets out guards of honor every day, which is very annoying."

As soon as the carriage turned a corner, it was stopped by King Beijing Jing.

King Beijing got off his sedan chair on the street and came to the carriage, "Is Miss Lin there? Xiao Wang has always heard that Miss Lin is very talented in learning, and I met her on the street today... Xiao Wang has always admired her and asked to see her many times but failed." have to…"

Bai Ze stood up angrily and was about to lift the curtain to go out, but Lin Daiyu grabbed him and shook his head towards Bai Ze.

The servant of the Lin family who was driving replied, "My lord, our girl is still an unmarried Yunying woman. It is not appropriate for my lord to stop our carriage on the street."

A eunuch next to him shouted in a high-pitched voice, "How can a lowly person talk to the prince, pull him down."

I heard the coachman shouting outside, and after shouting a few times, someone covered his mouth and dragged him down.

Bai Ze thought that this person was going too far, so he lifted the curtain and stood on the shaft of the car, looking down at King Beijing Jing.

"Why did the king of the north stop the king's car?"

King Bei never imagined that there was actually King Wu in the car.

But after thinking about it, there was nothing surprising, and he bowed slightly, "Xiao Wang wants to say a few words to Miss Lin."

"Miss Lin is not here. If you have anything to say to the King of the North, go to the Lin Mansion in a serious manner. The King of the North is also a man who stands up to the sky, and doing these things now is a bit contemptuous."

Bei Wang absolutely does not believe that Miss Lin is not here.

However, due to his limited status, he can compete with others, but he cannot compete with King Wu.

Turning to look at the carriage, "Miss Lin, I have admired Miss Lin for a long time..."

Bai Ze sneered at the side, "Prince Bei may have forgotten that a girl from the Wang family will become your concubine in a few days. If you say such things on the street, what will be the face of the Wang family?"

"If this king withdraws from the marriage of the Wang family, I wonder if I can marry Miss Lin..."

"Bah, your marriage was bestowed by my father and emperor himself, so you can withdraw as soon as you want. Come, send the Northern King back and tell their old Wang Taifei, saying that the Northern King drank too much. God don't let him hang out."

The eunuch next to him hurriedly grabbed Bei Wang and dragged him back, "My lord, let's make a long-term plan and go back today."

After the people retreated, Qilin sat back again, with a serious expression on his face, "Bei Wang is not a person who has lost his head... What's the matter?"

Lin Daiyu's heart was hanging high just now, but at this moment, she burst into tears after realizing that she was safe, "If it weren't for His Highness being here, today's affairs would not be good."

"Don't worry, auntie, today's tone will be let out no matter what."

Lin Daiyu didn't ask for such a bad breath, and thought in her heart that it would be fine not to let me meet this person again.

After sending him home, Lin Ruhai heard about what happened to his daughter, and stomped his feet several times angrily, "This person is going too far, he thinks our Lin family is easy to bully, Your Highness, please go back, we will deal with this matter on our own." There are calculations."

After Bai Ze left the Lin family, he thought that his identity might have been exposed. Although there were not so many people on the street, being seen by one person at this time meant that the whole capital had seen it.

I was thinking about how to tell my father when I went back, and I was thinking about what happened to Beiwang today.

As soon as he got back to the palace, he heard that the King of the North had just written a letter, asking for an order saying that he wanted to go outside to patrol the border.

Bai Ze met the emperor, who was reading the memorial of the Northern King.Seeing his second son come back, the emperor threw the memorial to Bai Ze, "The king of the north smelled it, and it is likely that someone he put in the south may have recognized your brother's identity."

"He went to stop my aunt's car in the street today, but his son blocked him back."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, "In the future, it may be difficult for us father and son to go out unscrupulously. These are not important matters. The important thing is that the Nanwang Mansion is now jumping up and down in the capital. Come and take a look. They forged a letter of credence, saying that Qianxiang Kingdom is willing to make Qin and Jin friendship with us, if it weren't for the fact that the people who went to the south were our people, maybe I would have believed it."

Bai Ze took the letter of credence and read it over and over again, "What does the emperor plan to do?"

"Let them dance for a few days first, and we will ignore this matter. We will deal with them when the evidence is available. It will be soon, and it won't take long."

Bai Ze held up the fake letter of credence, "Then... what about this married princess?"

The emperor patted his son on the back of the head, "Those who make big things don't care about small things, why do you care so much? It says they want a real princess. I don't want to send your sisters to the south, let alone this kind of princess." It’s just nonsense.”

"Maybe they want to coax father and emperor to send a younger sister out, so they can pinch this younger sister to ask us for money and people, and want to rebuild the navy."

"This time they are asked to pay for their husbands from the Nanwang Palace. We don't have any extra money. Your sisters' husbands will be chosen by your mother one by one. Let's not talk about this, you go to the harem to pay your mother's peace."

The emperor drove Bai Ze to the harem, thought for a while and wrote a letter to Jia Lian.

Hearing this news from others is worse than telling him personally.

So the emperor wrote a letter and didn't say much else. He just wrote his identity and asked someone to send it to Jia Lian immediately.

At first, Jia Lian thought it was just an ordinary letter, and wondered in his heart, could it be possible that news about the defeat of King Nan in the capital had spread?

After opening the line, I read half of it, and immediately rolled my eyes and passed out.

His little servant Xing'er hurried to pinch the person, pinched him several times, and Jia Lian woke up.

"Give me the letter, and I'll read it."

Xing'er couldn't read, so he picked up the letter and handed it to Jia Lian, "What's the matter with the second master? How about we write a letter to my in-laws and ask carefully."

"Don't mention it, don't mention it." Trembling, Jia Lian picked up the thread and looked at it from the beginning.There was a very absurd idea in Random's head, "Don't brother Cui drink too much and make fun of me?"

"Bring the brazier here." After the brazier was brought over, Jia Lian quickly threw the thread into the brazier, poked it a few times with the tongs, and breathed a sigh of relief when it was completely burnt.

"It's fatal to dare to write like that. Even if your surname is Cui...you can't say that you are the emperor!"

Jia Lian was so frightened by the letter that he was sweating all over. He felt that it was not good to be an official outside, and he couldn't say anything in person.

"Brother Cui... no, I want to write a letter."

After finishing writing, someone quickly sent it to the capital. The letter was very cryptic and told the emperor not to go crazy easily in the future.

After the letter was sent out, Jia Lian was grinding the floor tiles back and forth in the study, thinking that Brother Cui was not an unreliable person. We have known each other for so many years, and I have never heard of him uttering wild words...Will anyone know? Writing to himself in his name...that's very possible.

His family's business is so big, it's normal to have several enemies.

He quickly wrote another letter and sent it to the capital after it was sealed.

After doing all this, I let out a big sigh of relief, as long as I can find the right direction, with the power and financial resources of the Cui family, it is still easy to find out one thing.

After Jia Lian figured it out, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and went to the backyard with ease.

On the afternoon of the second day, the emperor received two letters in a row, and after reading them, he was a little dumbfounded.

Since Jia Lian didn't believe it, the emperor put the letter aside and didn't explain much.At this time, he asked Qilin three times a day for news. He heard that Qilin would only return to the north after feasting on the heroes in the south, and he was a little anxious in his heart.But rewarding meritorious persons is what he should do. He is a little impatient and can't help it. He hopes that his son will come back before the New Year and the whole family will be reunited.

The person who delivered Jia Lian's letter to the emperor came back in a frenzy, fell off his horse as soon as he got back, and crawled back to talk to Jia Lian with all his hands and feet.

"Second Master, great fortune, great fortune."

Jia Lian was having a headache thinking about how to give gifts to the capital during the New Year. There are many rich and noble families in the capital, and there are many places to manage. Coupled with the old friends and relatives, Jia Lian looked at his salary and the money saved by the couple, and felt that giving gifts and cutting flesh about there.

Just when he was having a headache, Xing'er helped the two messengers and rushed in.

Jia Lian was a little bored, and patted the table, "What are you doing? I didn't know to inform you before coming in."

"Second master, second master, great fortune, great fortune, our family has a princess."

Jia Lian's first reaction was that Tanchun talked about her in-law's family, "Which family is the third girl talking about?" Thinking that it must be from one of the three Wang families with different surnames, it must not be Nan Wang's family, this is simply calling for trouble.

"Third Miss...Third Miss...not Third Miss, but a girl from our family. Our son-in-law, the third young master of the Cui family, is born of the concubine Hu in the palace, and will inevitably be a county king in the future."

"Who?"

"The youngest third master of the Cui family... the seventh master of the Cui family is the emperor, your majesty! Long live! Second master, second master... Come on, our second master has passed out."

When Jia Lian woke up, he saw his father's old face.

"Awake?"

Jia Lian sat up and patted himself on the head, looked at the sky outside, it was already dark, and he was hungry, and his stomach started growling.

Jia She hurriedly asked someone to cook, "Fang'er's mother is going crazy, and she didn't come to watch over you, and now she's hanging around Qiaojie... the third prince and concubine."

"Is this true? Brother Cui..."

Jia Amnesty quickly patted Jia Lian on the head, "Be careful what you say, it's true, I asked just now, it's true."

Speaking of this, Jia She quickly stood up, "I've already thought about it. If Qiao'er marries into the third prince's mansion, she will drag her brothers. As long as our children live up to their expectations, we will still have a title."

Jia Lian couldn't believe it at this time, as if he was stepping on cotton.

Then he lay down again, decided not to eat, and slept again, maybe after waking up from the dream, everything would be back on track.

But he couldn't fall asleep again, so after Jia Amnesty babbled on for a while, he watched Jia Lian stand up with his eyes closed and quietly left.

In the middle of the night, the food was ready. Wang Xifeng watched her daughter fall asleep and went back to the yard. There was a table of food in the middle, and Jia Lian was still lying on the bed.

He just yelled at the top of his voice, "Second Master, why doesn't he eat yet?" He always thought that Jia Lian was the biggest contributor to this marriage.

Thinking of this, she came over and sat on the edge of the bed gently, "Get up if you can't sleep, what are you doing lying down?"

Jia Lian turned her back to her, and Wang Xifeng quickly dragged her back together with the quilt, "Second Master, we can't let our daughter live in this field and mountain, let the old man take her back, let's not talk about anything else, we My daughter is absolutely qualified to live in the Grand View Garden.

Now that the empress is gone, our family will soon have a concubine. Even if the old lady has her eyes in her armpits, she knows that she can only hold our girl in the future... Did you hear what I said? "

Jia Lian ignored her, thinking about how to get along with the emperor in the future.

When the two first met, the emperor said that there was a rouge tiger in his family - isn't it his cousin.

First cousin.

No wonder they always thought that the fifth son of their family looked like the Lin family, he was the grandson of the Lin family!

No wonder saying that the youngest of their family married their own girl, which is not considered an insult to their family.

Jia Lian lifted the quilt angrily and covered her head.

Wang Xifeng pulled down the quilt, "Don't cover it so tightly, lest you get bored and suffocate."

When the husband and wife were pulling the quilt, Ping'er entered the room, and Wang Xifeng stopped pulling the quilt, and asked Ping'er, "Is Miss Qiao asleep?"

"Sleep, our second girl is also asleep." After speaking, he let out a long breath and patted his heart, "This is like a dream."

"Isn't it? This is Mingmei's marriage... Oh, the more I think about it now, the happier I am. If the old lady and the second wife know, huh, I regret it to death."

"They will definitely let us send my sister back."

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows, "Our girl is the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, she's not that fake, so naturally she should go back generously."

The counterfeit in Wang Xifeng's mouth alludes to the deceased Jia Yuanchun.

The two masters and servants smiled at each other. Ping'er saw that the food was getting cold, so he urged Jia Lian, "Second Lord, get up and eat. If you encounter such a happy event today, you should drink two more glasses. Someone go boil a pot of good wine."

Wang Xifeng nodded, "That's right, let's all have a drink today, and pay more respects to the second master. If the second master hadn't made the decision back then, our family would not have such a fortune."

After finishing speaking, Wang Xifeng sighed, "Speaking of which, our girl is about the same age as His Highness King Wu, and she is also a cousin..."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Lian sat up abruptly, "Stop talking nonsense over there, it won't sound good if it spreads."

Wang Xifeng was taken aback by him, "Scared to death, it's just the three of us, we don't know who will tell the outside."

Jia Lian lifted the quilt and got out of bed to put on shoes, and said to his wife and concubine while putting on the shoes, "Don't mention going back to Rongguo Mansion again, I get angry every time I hear it, if they come to pick you up, you don't have to agree, whoever dares to betray me Send the girl back, I will find a hemp rope and hang me here tomorrow, believe it or not!"
