Mrs. Xing reversed the Dream of Red Mansions
Chapter 62
"Forget it, ignore her, it's just a matter of spending a few taels of silver a year. When Chen Ming passes the exam this year, let's help him buy a house with a few taels of silver and just move out." Jia Jiu is just a sister-in-law, not a mother-in-law Shi Shi, who doesn't occupy the name or share, is just buying a small yard for their mother and son in the future, spending thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, so there is no need to get angry with her.
Fortunately, Chen Ming is still promising and can study and take exams. If he is like Jia Zhu, it will give them a headache. "You want to go back to the school and explain to them, so that they can pay more attention to Chen Ming's studies." Chen Ming has passed the exam, and with the fame, he can justly arrange for them to live out and save himself trouble.
Jia Zhu's mother just died, and he can't get married yet, otherwise, I really want to marry Wang Xifeng for him quickly, send him to a separate yard, or simply send him back to his hometown in Jinling for peace of mind.
"I'll go to the ethnology to explain later," Jia Amnesty could only shake his head and sigh, it was his younger sister, she was young, and for the sake of fame, she really couldn't be kicked out. Fortunately, she has a successful son who doesn't look like her. In the same way, it can be regarded as throwing away in the future.
Xing Wei recalled an important matter she heard from Mrs. Yu yesterday, "The emperor really wants to send troops to Qiongzhou?" Qiongzhou is an island country attached to Da'an in the south. It has been disobedient for more than ten years, and the tributes were not delivered in time. Not to mention, they hijacked merchant ships at sea, killed merchants and fishermen, and affected the people's livelihood and trade in Da'an.
"Yes, it's been decided. I'm just about to tell you that in the next three months, I'm afraid I won't be able to go home often." It's normal to be too busy to come home.
"In such a hurry, the troops will be dispatched in three months?" Xing Wei was taken aback, and then decided to fight, even the time for dispatching troops has been finalized?
"I want to finish the fight before winter. In fact, I had this intention in the first few years. Only Chaoli disagreed. The Holy Majesty abolished the crown prince last year. This year, he is mentioning this. No one dared to object, so he decided to send troops." An east wind, there is no shortage of fresh blood in the court, the old nobles and noble families have suffered and punished, and the limited ones are now shrinking their necks, and they dare not sing the opposite tune easily. Now the Holy One is really singing a one-man show in the court. What you want to do, just ask , no one dared to object.
Wars are fought with money. Now that the country is rich and the people are safe, food and grass are abundant, and there is money, the monarch wants to expand the territory and leave a name in history. Only when this war is fought, how many people will be killed or killed.Xing Wei does not advocate using weapons without reason, but if Qiongzhou is really so arrogant and hurts the lives of the people for no reason, it is an inevitable decision to use violence for violence.
"Is the general settled?" There is no Qianxiang country in this world, and Qiongzhou doesn't know if it is the warring country alluded to in the original book. If it is, then the main general Nan'an King who was captured at the beginning has long been swept away by last year's turmoil Moreover, the title of descending to the rank of Marquis is lower than Jia She's now, and the possibility of him leading the army to fight is extremely low.
"It's the King of Pingjun," Jia She told Xing Wei in a low voice, "it's just that it hasn't been announced yet, so don't tell it." Last year, the Holy Lord took all the military power back in a big effort. This time, not only Qiongzhou, but also See if those troops have different intentions and obey discipline.
The prince personally leads the team, is this to accumulate merit, or to die?Still have the confidence to win? "You won't go?" Xing Wei still cares about her own family, so don't follow her to suffer. Swords and guns have no eyes, who knows if it will hurt others.
"No, I don't know how to fight, the horse is just riding steadily, and I don't have military power in my hands, so I won't be hated by others." Jia Amnesty was very fortunate. Although the general did not announce it, the vanguard and the general who led the team had already The names are almost all the future pillars of the Xungui family who once held military power. They usually pamper them and neglect training. The military power was lost, and last year they accumulated a mouthful of wimps and couldn't vent their anger, but they held back their energy, all eager to earn credit, and none of them could see their future.
Last year, the Holy Majesty first found an excuse to imprison the female relatives of the family, so that the house could be searched for tributes. Whoever had no idea was wrong, and the investigation was accurate, so the men also went in one after another. In order to save their lives, these families had no choice but to exchange them with military talismans—— In fact, from Jia She's point of view, they didn't suffer any disadvantages. This was originally a thing of the Holy One, but now at least it wiped out all the evil things they did before.
The Holy Majesty provoked last year's turmoil, mainly targeting them. Those who honestly returned the soldier talisman were not severely punished. Compared with Wang Ziteng who turned around, they still didn't have much memory.
Jia Amnesty was clear to the onlookers, and Xing Wei was also full of worries, "It's fine if you don't go, I think we should let the shop shrink business in advance." Once the war breaks out, there will inevitably be victims and refugees. Qiongzhou is relatively far away from Xixi. The county is close, and the five counties are relatively prosperous. When the time comes, the victims of the disaster may come and the business of the shop may be affected.Moreover, their shop mainly sells seafood, and they have lost a lot of business due to the rampant banditry in Qiongzhou in recent years.This is not a family business, Xing Wei naturally has to discuss with the shareholders, and now she is also saying hello to Jia Amnesty, and if she has the opportunity, she will first mention it to the men in charge.
Jia Amnesty nodded and raised his forehead: "If I had known, I would not have left Jia Zhen there." If I had known about the war, Jia Amnesty would not have left Jia Zhen in Xi County to take over as his county magistrate. It's too late to regret.
"It's better to send him a letter first, so that he can make preparations." Jia Zhen has also experienced it. Besides, there are so many staff who come up with ideas. It should not be a big problem. The main thing is to deal with the victims. In the first few years, there were also some Experience, in fact, thinking of the worst, as long as you don't let them go to the battlefield, everyone's family will feel at ease.
"It's already been sent, at least we have to bring the women's family and children back first." Jia Amnesty had already made arrangements, and when he knew the news as soon as he knew the news, he sent someone to send a letter to Jia Zhen. Although this nephew was in the next room Yes, but I have spent more time with him than my own son, so the relationship is naturally very deep, and I don't want to see anything bad happen to him, otherwise I wouldn't be so worried.
Xing Wei's face also pulled down, how did the day go, if there is no such thing, it will be that, the family is finally at peace, and the country is in trouble again.Three months to prepare for the war, did the emperor let these soldiers go to war, or let them die?Fortunately, my man is "useless" and doesn't need to go to the battlefield, and my relatives are also civil servants, so I don't need to fill in the hole.
The Jia family has all received the news, most of the people in the court know about the news, and the air in the capital is quietly tense again. The eunuchs of all generations are silently stockpiling food, firewood and charcoal, and the Rongguo Mansion is no exception. Xing Wei is afraid that the Ningguo Mansion No one knew, so I made a special trip to tell the old Fu, and the old Fu inevitably worried about his sons and grandchildren to Xing Wei. He was anxious for a long time, only to hear that Jia Amnesty had sent a letter there, and it was Amitabha's chanting for a long time. I can only thank Jia Shen for thinking of Jia Zhen more than his father.
Jia Jing did not enter the court, and even gave Jia Zhen an empty general. Now it seems that there are advantages and disadvantages. At least, he cannot be on the list to go to the battlefield. Jia Zhen now has a real job and escaped this war.
Xing Wei was also afraid that the news of the Xing family would not be well informed, so she made a special trip to tell the Wei family and the Chu family that although they lived in the capital, they would not be able to fight here no matter what, but in this era, if there is a disturbance, food and firewood are in short supply, The key is the special period, when the gates of the city are closed at every turn, spies are investigated, those who sell are afraid to go out, and those who want to buy have money but can't spend it?
If there were only five or six people in the previous life, it would be fine, but these officials and officials are all slaves, and there are dozens or hundreds of people in the family, and the hearts of the people are uneven. There is internal turmoil and discord, and the house is not peaceful, so once everything goes wrong, sufficient food and grass must be prepared.
"How come our life is like marching and fighting. The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first," Xing Wei complained to Jing Shi. The relationship between her and Jing Shi now is like the relatives and girlfriends of the previous life. They can talk about everything, saying There is no psychological burden if you make a mistake, and the other party will not hide something because they are afraid that she will be angry.
Although each family has Zhuangzi fields, they have a large population, and no matter how much food they leave behind, they are afraid that it will not be enough to consume, so they can only prepare as much as possible, lest the price rise later, and even the rich have no land to buy it.
Mrs. Jing was also worried. Her family had four generations under one roof, and the population was larger than that of Xing Wei. Her husband held an important position in Gyeonggi, and her two uncles were also officials outside. Apart from the old man and her son and nephew, the family was incompetent. Almost all of them are female relatives, really old and young, and she can only take care of things by herself, unlike Jia's family, at least there is a man that Xing Wei can rely on, and discuss ideas with each other.
"The world is difficult," Mrs. Jing also wanted to complain, but she was also annoyed, and now she didn't even bother to complain. Once the battle broke out, let's not talk about anything else, people's hearts were floating. Knowing the news in advance, they can stockpile firewood and food, and those ordinary people will be miserable. They don’t have much money, and they have to face the storm of rising food prices. Wars will inevitably increase taxes, and the country will have to levy military rations, which is even worse.
Although militarism hurts the peace of heaven, it is the decision of the above, and they can't stop the peace at all. "Qiongzhou who committed suicide, I really hope to teach them a lesson this time, so that they will never hurt innocent people again." Jing could only curse the Qiongzhou people to vent their anger. If they hadn't harmed people for no reason, how could there be such a war?
Where there are people, there is war, everyone is uneasy, Xiaojia He Ning?Xing Wei vomited the depression in her heart, but her heart became clearer and clearer. This war is inevitable, and the rest is to live with the situation. "I came here mainly to discuss with you. Our shop should be closed in advance, so as not to hurt innocent people and lose property." As the main shareholder of the Zhang family, and the shopkeeper directly works in the shop, Xing Wei naturally took the lead. Come and discuss with her.
"Naturally." Jing's not short-sighted, as long as the money doesn't kill people, "Go and say hello to your relatives over there, I'll discuss it with my people here, and we'll send a message later, don't worry about it." Before the war, all the people who can be withdrawn will be withdrawn." In the early days, Zhang Jie and Lin Ruhai were able to spread the shop, but now they have left there and returned to the capital. There are many people who are jealous, and there have been various runs and suppression Jia Zhen can't do it alone, the business in the shop has been affected, and it is imperative to close the shop.
Xing Wei's family is not short of business income, and she didn't think so long-term at first. Hearing Jing's words, he was silent. There is one governor in each place, and the tea will be cold when everyone leaves. The same is true for business. If no one takes care of it, the business will end sooner or later.
Xing Wei had no choice but to go to Lin's house again to discuss the decision with Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin is a little uncomfortable in health. She is getting old and always has problems of one kind or another.Xing Wei wanted to express her condolences before she made love, the old lady is not a short-sighted person, she just said: "Make up your mind, old lady, I can't take care of things now, I can't even take care of my own life." The old lady is really As I get older, the burden of worry can't be taken off. I have little rest and rest, and it's hard to sleep well. How can I be healthy?
"Don't worry, the big thing is that there are tall people in front to shelter from the wind and rain, and we women hide behind to enjoy the peace." Xing Wei said it lightly on purpose, because she was afraid that the old man would get angry and get sick again.
"I'm worried about others, I'm worried about myself." The old man sighed and complained to Xing Wei, "You also know that your girl is useless. I'm worried that I will leave, and she won't be at ease with the affairs of this family."
Xing Wei choked, the old man is really in a hurry, otherwise he covered up for Jia Min in the past, but today he showed his dissatisfaction in front of her, how much resentment must this have?
"What's there to worry about? She can't make it. Don't you have a granddaughter? You've already taught her how to be a housekeeper." Jia Min was pregnant last year, and Lin Ruhai justifiably sent Daiyu to Lin Ruhai. The old lady was raised by her side, and Jia Min didn't object when she asked about the baby insurance. Naturally, the old lady would not hold back her granddaughter, and the housekeeper and directors took her by her side to teach.
"I'm not afraid of making fun of you if you say it, she," Mrs. Lin shook her head anxiously and sighed, "It's just a fairy land outside the world who is a Bodhisattva and good person who does not eat the fireworks of the world." Heart, reading and composing poems every day is very hard work, Lin Ruhai regrets that this daughter was conceived in the wrong fetus, otherwise maybe he will come back with a champion in the examination.
Only Mrs. Lin can only be angry. She doesn't object to girls' reading and literacy, but there should be a limit to everything. It's not a good thing to change one's temperament if it's too much. Just like Lin Daiyu, she doesn't care about the family and the people's livelihood. , She was lucky enough to be a little sister, if she was born in a poor family, she still doesn't know what it would be like to leave her parents?
Xing Wei has heard about it to some extent, but she also sighed, because she threatened monks and Taoists, and even Baoyu deserved her life. Now she is a good scholar and has a better future than his brother Jia Zhu, but the other protagonist, Daiyu, why? Or is it just like reading and not economics? "Speaking of which, you dote too much," Xing Wei didn't have a good solution. Lin Daiyu's current situation is similar to that of most girls from aristocratic families. She has never suffered, and she can't understand the so-called economic snobbery. Good luck, you will fall into the nest of blessings when you are born, and you don't have to think about the hardships and dangers of life.
"Just such a granddaughter, who is willing to say something serious about her?" Apart from Lin Daiyu's dislike of housekeepers and directors, this book is very well read. Thinking that she will not be able to point to this to be the director of the family when she gets married in the future, I feel worried.
"One benefit, one benefit," Xing Wei persuaded with a smile, "Your granddaughter has her own roots of wisdom, and she might understand it at some point."
The old lady didn't listen to Xing Wei's flattery, "Speaking of which, I have always wanted to send Daiyu to your family school to learn knowledge, but the family is busy and delayed until now, and now you come at the right time, just in time to send her Take it back." The old man seemed to have made up his mind, and after he finished speaking, he ordered someone to pack Daiyu's luggage: "Go and tell your little sister, she will go to Rongguo Mansion with her aunt in a while, and I will send someone to pick her up when she is on holiday. "This is even free of daily pick-up and drop-off, and Lin Daiyu is required to live in Rongguo Mansion.
Mrs. Lin knew about Jia’s women’s school for a long time, but Daiyu was still young last year, so she didn’t send her to study because it was convenient to live here. Besides, Daiyu was still with Jia Min at that time, and she hadn’t found Daiyu to be so “unreasonable”. "Now that I think about it, it's better to send it earlier to gain some knowledge, than to not know the smell of copper and hate people's livelihood in the future.
The corners of Xing Wei's mouth twitched. This fairy could not escape the fate of being a sojourner. Her parents were still alive and her family was in the capital. Her grandmother insisted on packing her up and sending her to the Rongguo Mansion. How urgent was she to grow up?
"I don't want to bother the two masters. I will simply hand over my grandson to you and help me take care of it for a while," the old lady hadn't finished speaking. Lin Ruhai's eldest son is not young anymore. He has reached the age of school. Because of Jia Min, It has always been the old lady who asked someone to teach him a few words casually, and did not formally enlighten him. Now that Jia Min is pregnant, the imperial doctor said that it is very likely to be a grandson. After all, it's embarrassing, and if you stay at home, you are afraid that Jia Min will kill you if you don't take good care of him. The old lady is always worried about Jia Min, but she is willing to entrust him to Xing Wei.
What's the point?Listening to the old lady ordering her servants to pack her brother's luggage and let Daiyu go to Rongguo Mansion to study together, Xing Wei opened her mouth but couldn't open it. She was afraid that she would be scolded by the old lady for refusing to come out, "Don't you care about this? Seeds that came out of Jia Min's stomach?" Thinking of the fairy in the original book that would be wiped out and died early without a brother, Xing Wei couldn't be cruel, this brother is older than Daiyu, so it shouldn't be the one who died at the age of three Unlucky brother.
Xing Wei sighed, Jia Min told her to find out that she was pregnant, but she was pregnant during the journey, but her life was not as good as her own. She probably still missed her mother in her heart, and she was depressed, and the pregnancy seemed to be bad all the time. Whether it is moving or not, whether to raise it or not is really a problem.
So Xing Wei went to Lin Mansion to bring back two gods, Daiyu and his concubine Lin Jun settled in Rongguo Mansion.
Mrs. Lin didn't know how she thought about it. Lin Daiyu and Lin Jun only had two people with each other, an old nanny and a young girl who just combed her hair.
Is this to temper the child, or to cut off Jia Min's person to save her grandson's life?
Xing Wei arranged Daiyu in Jia Ai's yard, and formally moved her daughter out. Jia Ai was three years old, and she said she was not too old, but she said she was not young. The children in this place have been with their nanny since they were young, and they rarely follow their biological mothers. Live together until the age of three.Jia Amnesty had a lot of complaints about Jia Ying living with them at that time, but she was very tolerant towards her younger daughter, but the child lived with his parents, after all, it was a lot of inconvenience, and it happened that Daiyu came here this time, and it would save a lot of trouble if he moved out. Noisy.
Jia Lian and Jia Ying helped her sister tidy up the yard a long time ago, and someone cleaned it every day, so it didn't take much.
Lin Jun arranged for him to follow Jia Ying. After all, Jia Lian was older and had to take the exams, and helped Jia Amnesty manage the family affairs. There were many things to do, so if he took care of Lin Jun again, he might not be able to do what he wanted.
In fact, Xing Wei is also careful. She is afraid that something will happen to Lin Jun at home. Although the people around Jia Lian and Jia Ying are reliable, if Lin Jun is arranged with Jia Lian, there is some suspicion of entrusting responsibility. She can't speak clearly with a hundred mouths, and it will also affect their mother-child relationship for so many years.
When Jia Mei heard that Daiyu and Lin Jun were arranged to live with Jia Ai and Jia Ying, she became furious and wanted to complain to Jia She, but she didn't dare to stroke her beard after a cup of tea.Originally thought that the Xing family was not as good as the Zhang family, and I am afraid that Jia She would not take her seriously and listened to her too much. Who would have thought that this Xing family is more capable than Zhang's, and can play around with Jia She.
It is said that Daiyu's surname is Lin is nobler than her own daughter, but what is her concubine brother, why can she enjoy the same treatment as Jia Ying?His sons and daughters are still squeezed into a small yard with him, raised by his aunt, can he be on an equal footing with the serious young master?
Jia Mei finally appeared in front of Xing Wei, but she came to argue with Xing Wei that she wanted to get better treatment for her son and daughter, and wanted to move them to the main house.
Xing Wei twitched her lips, "What did you say about Lin Jun just now?"
"He was raised by his aunt, why can he live with Jia Ying, while my son who has the reputation of being a scholar squeezes into the small courtyard with me?" Jia Mei consciously took the reason and mentioned it to Xing Wei plausibly.
Xing Wei didn't feel sorry for her, and wanted to teach her a lesson a long time ago, so she threw a teacup at her feet, "Yes, he was raised by his aunt, what are you?" Looking at Jia Mei's pale face, her lips trembled Seeming to be very angry, Xing Wei continued: "Don't think that your surname Jia is the owner of this place. Even if you are not married, you are just a concubine daughter raised by your aunt, and you can't interfere with how I manage the house, let alone your married daughter. What kind of monster do you come here to point fingers at me? If you are sensible, stay in your yard and teach your children well. There is no shortage of food, clothing, or money for you. If you are not sensible, take your children and get out of here as soon as possible. Look at me. If Rongguo Mansion is gone, will you be short of something? Don’t scare me with your reputation. You are neither deaf nor dumb. You should have heard of it. When did I care about reputation?” Bickering for fear of disharmony, this concubine sister-in-law who has the cheek to come back to cling to, who is afraid of her?Xing Wei clarified the words to her once, so as not to cause trouble for herself in the future.
Jia Mei left weeping, but the servants who followed Xing Wei applauded. The concubine's second aunt always thought she was noble, and she only came here for a few days, and she was compared everywhere. I feel sorry for her, her heart is so high, her life is better than paper. Bo, who still doesn't understand the situation clearly, wants to come to his wife to fight for strengths, and doesn't look at how much she weighs.
Seeing the beaming faces of everyone, Xing Wei sighed, and ordered, "Don't let people treat them harshly," that's what she said, but she really couldn't ignore her reputation, hoping that for the sake of the Xing family, she would have to be considerate. Forbearance, now that you have your own children, there are many scruples to consider.
However, she can't lose her bottom line for the sake of reputation. Just like Jia Mei, if you are soft on her, it will come to you. Why don't you give her a slap and teach her a lesson?
"In addition, I am watching the Chen brothers and sisters, don't let them do anything that ruins the family tradition." Cousins and sisters are always talked about so much, Xing Wei naturally believes that her son will not be wrong Daiyu had some unreasonable thoughts, but Chen Jin may not be sure. With such a mother, maybe she will really give birth to the heart of a cousin matching a cousin.
"Let people watch Lin Jun's diet, and no mistakes are allowed," Mrs. Lin's move to misfortune Shui Dongyin is not unwise. My wife is getting old, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of her, and my concubine's grandson is in an accident. Now it's good to put it in the daughter-in-law's family. Unless you want to sever ties with your mother's family or simply seek humiliation, otherwise you really stop and protect the child. life.
Xing Wei thought well, Jia Mei was exposed by Xing Wei, which made her more angry than the teacup Jia She dropped, and told her son and daughter in private, "You should study hard and make progress, fight for my mother and me. tone, "Chen Ming only heard one-sided words, but he is old, so he knows his mother's temper somewhat, and he is afraid that she offended his aunt and didn't say everything when he came back, and it may be his aunt who was annoyed. Jia Mei: "A son will live up to his mother's teaching."
However, Chen Jin was disturbed by the blooming flowers these past few days, and also heard that the same cousin could follow Jia Ai to dress up as a servant girl and servants, wearing gold and silver to enjoy endlessly, and felt sour; "Don't worry, mother, wait for me." Go back and marry a good husband and son-in-law, and take you to enjoy the blessings when you grow old."
A young girl talked about getting married all day long, but Jia Mei was very happy when she heard it, and she kept praising her: "My daughter is still filial." Chen Ming frowned and remained silent, but Chen Jin was complacent. She raised her chin with her elder brother. In the past, her mother only praised her elder brother for being sensible and promising, but now she has become a favorite, no worse than her elder brother.
"It's just that he is a concubine and wants to live with Jia Ying. I don't know if he will go to Zhang's house to study with your second cousin." Jia Mei still cares about this the most, otherwise she would not go out to find Xing Wei was unlucky, but was scolded by Xing Wei and came back to complain to her children.
Chen Ming also stayed at the home school for a few days, and he was quite satisfied with the environment there, but he also heard a lot of rumors about Mr. Zhang, and knew how regrettable it would be to miss this famous teacher. "If he goes to Zhang's house with your second cousin, see if I don't fight her as hard as I can," Jia Mei has not given up yet, her son's future is at stake, and she is willing to die.
Only when Lin Jun finally went to study ethnology with Chen Ming did Jia Mei feel relieved. "After all, he is a seedling from a concubine, so he can't get on the board. Even though he is the young master of the Lin family, he has to obediently go to the ethnology school to make do with a bunch of poor ghosts." After speaking, he remembered that his son was also an example of "poor ghosts" , Regret only spit.
The Holy Majesty was full of confidence, he dispatched the soldiers as usual, and the scientific examination was held as usual. Jia Lian and Chen Ming took part in the examination for juren, and after a few days of confinement, they became thin and out of shape. Jia Lian is fine, the old man has been paying close attention to his physical condition, and usually does boxing exercises He has been tempered a lot, otherwise when he went to Xi County at a young age, he would be able to run behind his father without feeling tired.
However, Chen Ming suffered from a serious illness. He didn't persevere on the last day and was carried out. It was taken for granted that the exam failed.Regardless of the fact that Chen Ming was born in poverty, but was raised by Jia Mei, his limbs were not working hard, he neglected maintenance and always stayed up all night studying hard to consume his body, being able to persevere until the last day is already his limit.
Jia Mei cried to death, she only hoped for this, if she also lost her life, how would she survive, usually it is good to coax her daughter, but some of those who have sons will count on their daughter to retire to the old age, and she also counts on her son to marry a wife Give birth to a son, and earn her the imperial order to be the old lord.
Xing Wei called the imperial physician to see Chen Ming, but she felt very regretful, for this delay, they would have to stay at home for another three years, which was not enough for them.
The list came down, and the battle report came. Jia Lian got No.6 in the exam, neither high nor low. He didn't take the top spot to grab the limelight, but he didn't lose his grandfather's reputation either.
The battle was fought without losing or winning, and it seemed to be a protracted war.Although there is a team led by Prince Ping and the army has three months of training, it is still difficult to match the might of the Qiongzhou Navy. The Qiongzhou Navy is still stationed on the Bahai Road, making it difficult for Da'an merchant ships to move. The Da'an army lacks warships and is not familiar with water. die.
War and military misfortune - the south also gradually disturbed the hearts of the people because of the long-lasting war.
News came from Jia Zhen again and again that except for the five counties which were a little rich and stable, other counties had already left their homes to find a place to survive due to the price and food shortage caused by a large number of fleeing people.
The emperor is now riding a tiger, and it is embarrassing to withdraw his troops, and it is even more embarrassing if he does not withdraw his troops. Fortunately, his treasury was still abundant.
When the conscription order is issued, everyone is depressed.
Just because this conscription is not limited to status, as long as there is an account, all families have a quota, and the Jia family even has a conscription order. Of course, the Lin family and the Zhang family are no exception.
It has really reached the responsibility of national defense, and every family is apportioned.
Those who don't want to spend money to buy their lives, and those who can't afford to send their sons to join the army, the Jia family naturally does not lack the money, if it is impossible to send slaves, slaves are not considered people in this era, but in fact, they are more important than masters. More able to escape skills.
Jia Mei also turned gray with worry. She had separated from her mother-in-law and set up a household. Her son Chen Ming is now the head of the household.
She also has money now, but unfortunately she couldn't bear it, and she didn't dare to ask Jia She Xingwei to ask someone to join the army for her son, so she counted the money and wept there.
However, Chen Ming didn't know what was wrong, and he wanted to persuade her to join the army. She was just a single seedling, so she was willing to let him go on a long journey.
"You can go, bring your mother and your sister with you, we have no obligation to take care of her for you." Chen Ming found Jia She, wanting his uncle to help persuade his mother to let him join the army, but unexpectedly Jia She She refused him without saying anything, and there were still such ruthless words waiting for him, "Believe it or not, as long as you dare to secretly sign up, I will immediately send their mother and daughter back to their hometown and hand them over to your grandmother, whether it is life or death See if I don’t care about them?” Jia Amnesty was also afraid that Chen Ming would sign up secretly, and once he was on file, even the king of heaven, I would never want him to stay at home and not join the army. Fortunately, this kid still knew to come and tell him, so that he would have time Stop, don't let him die.
Not to mention that Jia She felt sorry for him going to die. With his body, Qiongzhou would not even be able to reach Qiongzhou. .It doesn't matter if he dies, leaving the unknown sister is not to trouble him.
Chen Ming was also depressed. This exam was not good, and he heard her mother complain a lot. He didn't want to rely on her to make her angry. When I grow up, I can't stay at my uncle's house when I get married, and my sister will also marry, so I can't just live in someone else's house all the time.
After Jia Amnesty finished his harsh words, he went back and got angry with his son, "You said what kind of moth you gave birth to at such a young age. Even if I don't let your second brother go out, you want to leave me and join the army?" It turned out to be Jia Ying. He got hotheaded and wanted to join the army for Jia Lian.
"Little uncle can do it, why can't I?" It turned out that Xing Zhong caused the trouble. Jia Amnesty watched Xing Wei cry, and probably knew that Xing Zhong was determined. .
It's fake for every family to have a quota, and it's true to take the opportunity to make money. Xing Wei really wants to scold the emperor. You have more heart than a female businessman, but people have choices. In the end, it's Xing Zhong who concealed his family's registration.
"You are so cruel." The Xing family is also in a mess now, and the Chu family is desperately fighting Xing Zhong with his stomach in his arms.
Fortunately, Chen Ming is still promising and can study and take exams. If he is like Jia Zhu, it will give them a headache. "You want to go back to the school and explain to them, so that they can pay more attention to Chen Ming's studies." Chen Ming has passed the exam, and with the fame, he can justly arrange for them to live out and save himself trouble.
Jia Zhu's mother just died, and he can't get married yet, otherwise, I really want to marry Wang Xifeng for him quickly, send him to a separate yard, or simply send him back to his hometown in Jinling for peace of mind.
"I'll go to the ethnology to explain later," Jia Amnesty could only shake his head and sigh, it was his younger sister, she was young, and for the sake of fame, she really couldn't be kicked out. Fortunately, she has a successful son who doesn't look like her. In the same way, it can be regarded as throwing away in the future.
Xing Wei recalled an important matter she heard from Mrs. Yu yesterday, "The emperor really wants to send troops to Qiongzhou?" Qiongzhou is an island country attached to Da'an in the south. It has been disobedient for more than ten years, and the tributes were not delivered in time. Not to mention, they hijacked merchant ships at sea, killed merchants and fishermen, and affected the people's livelihood and trade in Da'an.
"Yes, it's been decided. I'm just about to tell you that in the next three months, I'm afraid I won't be able to go home often." It's normal to be too busy to come home.
"In such a hurry, the troops will be dispatched in three months?" Xing Wei was taken aback, and then decided to fight, even the time for dispatching troops has been finalized?
"I want to finish the fight before winter. In fact, I had this intention in the first few years. Only Chaoli disagreed. The Holy Majesty abolished the crown prince last year. This year, he is mentioning this. No one dared to object, so he decided to send troops." An east wind, there is no shortage of fresh blood in the court, the old nobles and noble families have suffered and punished, and the limited ones are now shrinking their necks, and they dare not sing the opposite tune easily. Now the Holy One is really singing a one-man show in the court. What you want to do, just ask , no one dared to object.
Wars are fought with money. Now that the country is rich and the people are safe, food and grass are abundant, and there is money, the monarch wants to expand the territory and leave a name in history. Only when this war is fought, how many people will be killed or killed.Xing Wei does not advocate using weapons without reason, but if Qiongzhou is really so arrogant and hurts the lives of the people for no reason, it is an inevitable decision to use violence for violence.
"Is the general settled?" There is no Qianxiang country in this world, and Qiongzhou doesn't know if it is the warring country alluded to in the original book. If it is, then the main general Nan'an King who was captured at the beginning has long been swept away by last year's turmoil Moreover, the title of descending to the rank of Marquis is lower than Jia She's now, and the possibility of him leading the army to fight is extremely low.
"It's the King of Pingjun," Jia She told Xing Wei in a low voice, "it's just that it hasn't been announced yet, so don't tell it." Last year, the Holy Lord took all the military power back in a big effort. This time, not only Qiongzhou, but also See if those troops have different intentions and obey discipline.
The prince personally leads the team, is this to accumulate merit, or to die?Still have the confidence to win? "You won't go?" Xing Wei still cares about her own family, so don't follow her to suffer. Swords and guns have no eyes, who knows if it will hurt others.
"No, I don't know how to fight, the horse is just riding steadily, and I don't have military power in my hands, so I won't be hated by others." Jia Amnesty was very fortunate. Although the general did not announce it, the vanguard and the general who led the team had already The names are almost all the future pillars of the Xungui family who once held military power. They usually pamper them and neglect training. The military power was lost, and last year they accumulated a mouthful of wimps and couldn't vent their anger, but they held back their energy, all eager to earn credit, and none of them could see their future.
Last year, the Holy Majesty first found an excuse to imprison the female relatives of the family, so that the house could be searched for tributes. Whoever had no idea was wrong, and the investigation was accurate, so the men also went in one after another. In order to save their lives, these families had no choice but to exchange them with military talismans—— In fact, from Jia She's point of view, they didn't suffer any disadvantages. This was originally a thing of the Holy One, but now at least it wiped out all the evil things they did before.
The Holy Majesty provoked last year's turmoil, mainly targeting them. Those who honestly returned the soldier talisman were not severely punished. Compared with Wang Ziteng who turned around, they still didn't have much memory.
Jia Amnesty was clear to the onlookers, and Xing Wei was also full of worries, "It's fine if you don't go, I think we should let the shop shrink business in advance." Once the war breaks out, there will inevitably be victims and refugees. Qiongzhou is relatively far away from Xixi. The county is close, and the five counties are relatively prosperous. When the time comes, the victims of the disaster may come and the business of the shop may be affected.Moreover, their shop mainly sells seafood, and they have lost a lot of business due to the rampant banditry in Qiongzhou in recent years.This is not a family business, Xing Wei naturally has to discuss with the shareholders, and now she is also saying hello to Jia Amnesty, and if she has the opportunity, she will first mention it to the men in charge.
Jia Amnesty nodded and raised his forehead: "If I had known, I would not have left Jia Zhen there." If I had known about the war, Jia Amnesty would not have left Jia Zhen in Xi County to take over as his county magistrate. It's too late to regret.
"It's better to send him a letter first, so that he can make preparations." Jia Zhen has also experienced it. Besides, there are so many staff who come up with ideas. It should not be a big problem. The main thing is to deal with the victims. In the first few years, there were also some Experience, in fact, thinking of the worst, as long as you don't let them go to the battlefield, everyone's family will feel at ease.
"It's already been sent, at least we have to bring the women's family and children back first." Jia Amnesty had already made arrangements, and when he knew the news as soon as he knew the news, he sent someone to send a letter to Jia Zhen. Although this nephew was in the next room Yes, but I have spent more time with him than my own son, so the relationship is naturally very deep, and I don't want to see anything bad happen to him, otherwise I wouldn't be so worried.
Xing Wei's face also pulled down, how did the day go, if there is no such thing, it will be that, the family is finally at peace, and the country is in trouble again.Three months to prepare for the war, did the emperor let these soldiers go to war, or let them die?Fortunately, my man is "useless" and doesn't need to go to the battlefield, and my relatives are also civil servants, so I don't need to fill in the hole.
The Jia family has all received the news, most of the people in the court know about the news, and the air in the capital is quietly tense again. The eunuchs of all generations are silently stockpiling food, firewood and charcoal, and the Rongguo Mansion is no exception. Xing Wei is afraid that the Ningguo Mansion No one knew, so I made a special trip to tell the old Fu, and the old Fu inevitably worried about his sons and grandchildren to Xing Wei. He was anxious for a long time, only to hear that Jia Amnesty had sent a letter there, and it was Amitabha's chanting for a long time. I can only thank Jia Shen for thinking of Jia Zhen more than his father.
Jia Jing did not enter the court, and even gave Jia Zhen an empty general. Now it seems that there are advantages and disadvantages. At least, he cannot be on the list to go to the battlefield. Jia Zhen now has a real job and escaped this war.
Xing Wei was also afraid that the news of the Xing family would not be well informed, so she made a special trip to tell the Wei family and the Chu family that although they lived in the capital, they would not be able to fight here no matter what, but in this era, if there is a disturbance, food and firewood are in short supply, The key is the special period, when the gates of the city are closed at every turn, spies are investigated, those who sell are afraid to go out, and those who want to buy have money but can't spend it?
If there were only five or six people in the previous life, it would be fine, but these officials and officials are all slaves, and there are dozens or hundreds of people in the family, and the hearts of the people are uneven. There is internal turmoil and discord, and the house is not peaceful, so once everything goes wrong, sufficient food and grass must be prepared.
"How come our life is like marching and fighting. The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first," Xing Wei complained to Jing Shi. The relationship between her and Jing Shi now is like the relatives and girlfriends of the previous life. They can talk about everything, saying There is no psychological burden if you make a mistake, and the other party will not hide something because they are afraid that she will be angry.
Although each family has Zhuangzi fields, they have a large population, and no matter how much food they leave behind, they are afraid that it will not be enough to consume, so they can only prepare as much as possible, lest the price rise later, and even the rich have no land to buy it.
Mrs. Jing was also worried. Her family had four generations under one roof, and the population was larger than that of Xing Wei. Her husband held an important position in Gyeonggi, and her two uncles were also officials outside. Apart from the old man and her son and nephew, the family was incompetent. Almost all of them are female relatives, really old and young, and she can only take care of things by herself, unlike Jia's family, at least there is a man that Xing Wei can rely on, and discuss ideas with each other.
"The world is difficult," Mrs. Jing also wanted to complain, but she was also annoyed, and now she didn't even bother to complain. Once the battle broke out, let's not talk about anything else, people's hearts were floating. Knowing the news in advance, they can stockpile firewood and food, and those ordinary people will be miserable. They don’t have much money, and they have to face the storm of rising food prices. Wars will inevitably increase taxes, and the country will have to levy military rations, which is even worse.
Although militarism hurts the peace of heaven, it is the decision of the above, and they can't stop the peace at all. "Qiongzhou who committed suicide, I really hope to teach them a lesson this time, so that they will never hurt innocent people again." Jing could only curse the Qiongzhou people to vent their anger. If they hadn't harmed people for no reason, how could there be such a war?
Where there are people, there is war, everyone is uneasy, Xiaojia He Ning?Xing Wei vomited the depression in her heart, but her heart became clearer and clearer. This war is inevitable, and the rest is to live with the situation. "I came here mainly to discuss with you. Our shop should be closed in advance, so as not to hurt innocent people and lose property." As the main shareholder of the Zhang family, and the shopkeeper directly works in the shop, Xing Wei naturally took the lead. Come and discuss with her.
"Naturally." Jing's not short-sighted, as long as the money doesn't kill people, "Go and say hello to your relatives over there, I'll discuss it with my people here, and we'll send a message later, don't worry about it." Before the war, all the people who can be withdrawn will be withdrawn." In the early days, Zhang Jie and Lin Ruhai were able to spread the shop, but now they have left there and returned to the capital. There are many people who are jealous, and there have been various runs and suppression Jia Zhen can't do it alone, the business in the shop has been affected, and it is imperative to close the shop.
Xing Wei's family is not short of business income, and she didn't think so long-term at first. Hearing Jing's words, he was silent. There is one governor in each place, and the tea will be cold when everyone leaves. The same is true for business. If no one takes care of it, the business will end sooner or later.
Xing Wei had no choice but to go to Lin's house again to discuss the decision with Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin is a little uncomfortable in health. She is getting old and always has problems of one kind or another.Xing Wei wanted to express her condolences before she made love, the old lady is not a short-sighted person, she just said: "Make up your mind, old lady, I can't take care of things now, I can't even take care of my own life." The old lady is really As I get older, the burden of worry can't be taken off. I have little rest and rest, and it's hard to sleep well. How can I be healthy?
"Don't worry, the big thing is that there are tall people in front to shelter from the wind and rain, and we women hide behind to enjoy the peace." Xing Wei said it lightly on purpose, because she was afraid that the old man would get angry and get sick again.
"I'm worried about others, I'm worried about myself." The old man sighed and complained to Xing Wei, "You also know that your girl is useless. I'm worried that I will leave, and she won't be at ease with the affairs of this family."
Xing Wei choked, the old man is really in a hurry, otherwise he covered up for Jia Min in the past, but today he showed his dissatisfaction in front of her, how much resentment must this have?
"What's there to worry about? She can't make it. Don't you have a granddaughter? You've already taught her how to be a housekeeper." Jia Min was pregnant last year, and Lin Ruhai justifiably sent Daiyu to Lin Ruhai. The old lady was raised by her side, and Jia Min didn't object when she asked about the baby insurance. Naturally, the old lady would not hold back her granddaughter, and the housekeeper and directors took her by her side to teach.
"I'm not afraid of making fun of you if you say it, she," Mrs. Lin shook her head anxiously and sighed, "It's just a fairy land outside the world who is a Bodhisattva and good person who does not eat the fireworks of the world." Heart, reading and composing poems every day is very hard work, Lin Ruhai regrets that this daughter was conceived in the wrong fetus, otherwise maybe he will come back with a champion in the examination.
Only Mrs. Lin can only be angry. She doesn't object to girls' reading and literacy, but there should be a limit to everything. It's not a good thing to change one's temperament if it's too much. Just like Lin Daiyu, she doesn't care about the family and the people's livelihood. , She was lucky enough to be a little sister, if she was born in a poor family, she still doesn't know what it would be like to leave her parents?
Xing Wei has heard about it to some extent, but she also sighed, because she threatened monks and Taoists, and even Baoyu deserved her life. Now she is a good scholar and has a better future than his brother Jia Zhu, but the other protagonist, Daiyu, why? Or is it just like reading and not economics? "Speaking of which, you dote too much," Xing Wei didn't have a good solution. Lin Daiyu's current situation is similar to that of most girls from aristocratic families. She has never suffered, and she can't understand the so-called economic snobbery. Good luck, you will fall into the nest of blessings when you are born, and you don't have to think about the hardships and dangers of life.
"Just such a granddaughter, who is willing to say something serious about her?" Apart from Lin Daiyu's dislike of housekeepers and directors, this book is very well read. Thinking that she will not be able to point to this to be the director of the family when she gets married in the future, I feel worried.
"One benefit, one benefit," Xing Wei persuaded with a smile, "Your granddaughter has her own roots of wisdom, and she might understand it at some point."
The old lady didn't listen to Xing Wei's flattery, "Speaking of which, I have always wanted to send Daiyu to your family school to learn knowledge, but the family is busy and delayed until now, and now you come at the right time, just in time to send her Take it back." The old man seemed to have made up his mind, and after he finished speaking, he ordered someone to pack Daiyu's luggage: "Go and tell your little sister, she will go to Rongguo Mansion with her aunt in a while, and I will send someone to pick her up when she is on holiday. "This is even free of daily pick-up and drop-off, and Lin Daiyu is required to live in Rongguo Mansion.
Mrs. Lin knew about Jia’s women’s school for a long time, but Daiyu was still young last year, so she didn’t send her to study because it was convenient to live here. Besides, Daiyu was still with Jia Min at that time, and she hadn’t found Daiyu to be so “unreasonable”. "Now that I think about it, it's better to send it earlier to gain some knowledge, than to not know the smell of copper and hate people's livelihood in the future.
The corners of Xing Wei's mouth twitched. This fairy could not escape the fate of being a sojourner. Her parents were still alive and her family was in the capital. Her grandmother insisted on packing her up and sending her to the Rongguo Mansion. How urgent was she to grow up?
"I don't want to bother the two masters. I will simply hand over my grandson to you and help me take care of it for a while," the old lady hadn't finished speaking. Lin Ruhai's eldest son is not young anymore. He has reached the age of school. Because of Jia Min, It has always been the old lady who asked someone to teach him a few words casually, and did not formally enlighten him. Now that Jia Min is pregnant, the imperial doctor said that it is very likely to be a grandson. After all, it's embarrassing, and if you stay at home, you are afraid that Jia Min will kill you if you don't take good care of him. The old lady is always worried about Jia Min, but she is willing to entrust him to Xing Wei.
What's the point?Listening to the old lady ordering her servants to pack her brother's luggage and let Daiyu go to Rongguo Mansion to study together, Xing Wei opened her mouth but couldn't open it. She was afraid that she would be scolded by the old lady for refusing to come out, "Don't you care about this? Seeds that came out of Jia Min's stomach?" Thinking of the fairy in the original book that would be wiped out and died early without a brother, Xing Wei couldn't be cruel, this brother is older than Daiyu, so it shouldn't be the one who died at the age of three Unlucky brother.
Xing Wei sighed, Jia Min told her to find out that she was pregnant, but she was pregnant during the journey, but her life was not as good as her own. She probably still missed her mother in her heart, and she was depressed, and the pregnancy seemed to be bad all the time. Whether it is moving or not, whether to raise it or not is really a problem.
So Xing Wei went to Lin Mansion to bring back two gods, Daiyu and his concubine Lin Jun settled in Rongguo Mansion.
Mrs. Lin didn't know how she thought about it. Lin Daiyu and Lin Jun only had two people with each other, an old nanny and a young girl who just combed her hair.
Is this to temper the child, or to cut off Jia Min's person to save her grandson's life?
Xing Wei arranged Daiyu in Jia Ai's yard, and formally moved her daughter out. Jia Ai was three years old, and she said she was not too old, but she said she was not young. The children in this place have been with their nanny since they were young, and they rarely follow their biological mothers. Live together until the age of three.Jia Amnesty had a lot of complaints about Jia Ying living with them at that time, but she was very tolerant towards her younger daughter, but the child lived with his parents, after all, it was a lot of inconvenience, and it happened that Daiyu came here this time, and it would save a lot of trouble if he moved out. Noisy.
Jia Lian and Jia Ying helped her sister tidy up the yard a long time ago, and someone cleaned it every day, so it didn't take much.
Lin Jun arranged for him to follow Jia Ying. After all, Jia Lian was older and had to take the exams, and helped Jia Amnesty manage the family affairs. There were many things to do, so if he took care of Lin Jun again, he might not be able to do what he wanted.
In fact, Xing Wei is also careful. She is afraid that something will happen to Lin Jun at home. Although the people around Jia Lian and Jia Ying are reliable, if Lin Jun is arranged with Jia Lian, there is some suspicion of entrusting responsibility. She can't speak clearly with a hundred mouths, and it will also affect their mother-child relationship for so many years.
When Jia Mei heard that Daiyu and Lin Jun were arranged to live with Jia Ai and Jia Ying, she became furious and wanted to complain to Jia She, but she didn't dare to stroke her beard after a cup of tea.Originally thought that the Xing family was not as good as the Zhang family, and I am afraid that Jia She would not take her seriously and listened to her too much. Who would have thought that this Xing family is more capable than Zhang's, and can play around with Jia She.
It is said that Daiyu's surname is Lin is nobler than her own daughter, but what is her concubine brother, why can she enjoy the same treatment as Jia Ying?His sons and daughters are still squeezed into a small yard with him, raised by his aunt, can he be on an equal footing with the serious young master?
Jia Mei finally appeared in front of Xing Wei, but she came to argue with Xing Wei that she wanted to get better treatment for her son and daughter, and wanted to move them to the main house.
Xing Wei twitched her lips, "What did you say about Lin Jun just now?"
"He was raised by his aunt, why can he live with Jia Ying, while my son who has the reputation of being a scholar squeezes into the small courtyard with me?" Jia Mei consciously took the reason and mentioned it to Xing Wei plausibly.
Xing Wei didn't feel sorry for her, and wanted to teach her a lesson a long time ago, so she threw a teacup at her feet, "Yes, he was raised by his aunt, what are you?" Looking at Jia Mei's pale face, her lips trembled Seeming to be very angry, Xing Wei continued: "Don't think that your surname Jia is the owner of this place. Even if you are not married, you are just a concubine daughter raised by your aunt, and you can't interfere with how I manage the house, let alone your married daughter. What kind of monster do you come here to point fingers at me? If you are sensible, stay in your yard and teach your children well. There is no shortage of food, clothing, or money for you. If you are not sensible, take your children and get out of here as soon as possible. Look at me. If Rongguo Mansion is gone, will you be short of something? Don’t scare me with your reputation. You are neither deaf nor dumb. You should have heard of it. When did I care about reputation?” Bickering for fear of disharmony, this concubine sister-in-law who has the cheek to come back to cling to, who is afraid of her?Xing Wei clarified the words to her once, so as not to cause trouble for herself in the future.
Jia Mei left weeping, but the servants who followed Xing Wei applauded. The concubine's second aunt always thought she was noble, and she only came here for a few days, and she was compared everywhere. I feel sorry for her, her heart is so high, her life is better than paper. Bo, who still doesn't understand the situation clearly, wants to come to his wife to fight for strengths, and doesn't look at how much she weighs.
Seeing the beaming faces of everyone, Xing Wei sighed, and ordered, "Don't let people treat them harshly," that's what she said, but she really couldn't ignore her reputation, hoping that for the sake of the Xing family, she would have to be considerate. Forbearance, now that you have your own children, there are many scruples to consider.
However, she can't lose her bottom line for the sake of reputation. Just like Jia Mei, if you are soft on her, it will come to you. Why don't you give her a slap and teach her a lesson?
"In addition, I am watching the Chen brothers and sisters, don't let them do anything that ruins the family tradition." Cousins and sisters are always talked about so much, Xing Wei naturally believes that her son will not be wrong Daiyu had some unreasonable thoughts, but Chen Jin may not be sure. With such a mother, maybe she will really give birth to the heart of a cousin matching a cousin.
"Let people watch Lin Jun's diet, and no mistakes are allowed," Mrs. Lin's move to misfortune Shui Dongyin is not unwise. My wife is getting old, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of her, and my concubine's grandson is in an accident. Now it's good to put it in the daughter-in-law's family. Unless you want to sever ties with your mother's family or simply seek humiliation, otherwise you really stop and protect the child. life.
Xing Wei thought well, Jia Mei was exposed by Xing Wei, which made her more angry than the teacup Jia She dropped, and told her son and daughter in private, "You should study hard and make progress, fight for my mother and me. tone, "Chen Ming only heard one-sided words, but he is old, so he knows his mother's temper somewhat, and he is afraid that she offended his aunt and didn't say everything when he came back, and it may be his aunt who was annoyed. Jia Mei: "A son will live up to his mother's teaching."
However, Chen Jin was disturbed by the blooming flowers these past few days, and also heard that the same cousin could follow Jia Ai to dress up as a servant girl and servants, wearing gold and silver to enjoy endlessly, and felt sour; "Don't worry, mother, wait for me." Go back and marry a good husband and son-in-law, and take you to enjoy the blessings when you grow old."
A young girl talked about getting married all day long, but Jia Mei was very happy when she heard it, and she kept praising her: "My daughter is still filial." Chen Ming frowned and remained silent, but Chen Jin was complacent. She raised her chin with her elder brother. In the past, her mother only praised her elder brother for being sensible and promising, but now she has become a favorite, no worse than her elder brother.
"It's just that he is a concubine and wants to live with Jia Ying. I don't know if he will go to Zhang's house to study with your second cousin." Jia Mei still cares about this the most, otherwise she would not go out to find Xing Wei was unlucky, but was scolded by Xing Wei and came back to complain to her children.
Chen Ming also stayed at the home school for a few days, and he was quite satisfied with the environment there, but he also heard a lot of rumors about Mr. Zhang, and knew how regrettable it would be to miss this famous teacher. "If he goes to Zhang's house with your second cousin, see if I don't fight her as hard as I can," Jia Mei has not given up yet, her son's future is at stake, and she is willing to die.
Only when Lin Jun finally went to study ethnology with Chen Ming did Jia Mei feel relieved. "After all, he is a seedling from a concubine, so he can't get on the board. Even though he is the young master of the Lin family, he has to obediently go to the ethnology school to make do with a bunch of poor ghosts." After speaking, he remembered that his son was also an example of "poor ghosts" , Regret only spit.
The Holy Majesty was full of confidence, he dispatched the soldiers as usual, and the scientific examination was held as usual. Jia Lian and Chen Ming took part in the examination for juren, and after a few days of confinement, they became thin and out of shape. Jia Lian is fine, the old man has been paying close attention to his physical condition, and usually does boxing exercises He has been tempered a lot, otherwise when he went to Xi County at a young age, he would be able to run behind his father without feeling tired.
However, Chen Ming suffered from a serious illness. He didn't persevere on the last day and was carried out. It was taken for granted that the exam failed.Regardless of the fact that Chen Ming was born in poverty, but was raised by Jia Mei, his limbs were not working hard, he neglected maintenance and always stayed up all night studying hard to consume his body, being able to persevere until the last day is already his limit.
Jia Mei cried to death, she only hoped for this, if she also lost her life, how would she survive, usually it is good to coax her daughter, but some of those who have sons will count on their daughter to retire to the old age, and she also counts on her son to marry a wife Give birth to a son, and earn her the imperial order to be the old lord.
Xing Wei called the imperial physician to see Chen Ming, but she felt very regretful, for this delay, they would have to stay at home for another three years, which was not enough for them.
The list came down, and the battle report came. Jia Lian got No.6 in the exam, neither high nor low. He didn't take the top spot to grab the limelight, but he didn't lose his grandfather's reputation either.
The battle was fought without losing or winning, and it seemed to be a protracted war.Although there is a team led by Prince Ping and the army has three months of training, it is still difficult to match the might of the Qiongzhou Navy. The Qiongzhou Navy is still stationed on the Bahai Road, making it difficult for Da'an merchant ships to move. The Da'an army lacks warships and is not familiar with water. die.
War and military misfortune - the south also gradually disturbed the hearts of the people because of the long-lasting war.
News came from Jia Zhen again and again that except for the five counties which were a little rich and stable, other counties had already left their homes to find a place to survive due to the price and food shortage caused by a large number of fleeing people.
The emperor is now riding a tiger, and it is embarrassing to withdraw his troops, and it is even more embarrassing if he does not withdraw his troops. Fortunately, his treasury was still abundant.
When the conscription order is issued, everyone is depressed.
Just because this conscription is not limited to status, as long as there is an account, all families have a quota, and the Jia family even has a conscription order. Of course, the Lin family and the Zhang family are no exception.
It has really reached the responsibility of national defense, and every family is apportioned.
Those who don't want to spend money to buy their lives, and those who can't afford to send their sons to join the army, the Jia family naturally does not lack the money, if it is impossible to send slaves, slaves are not considered people in this era, but in fact, they are more important than masters. More able to escape skills.
Jia Mei also turned gray with worry. She had separated from her mother-in-law and set up a household. Her son Chen Ming is now the head of the household.
She also has money now, but unfortunately she couldn't bear it, and she didn't dare to ask Jia She Xingwei to ask someone to join the army for her son, so she counted the money and wept there.
However, Chen Ming didn't know what was wrong, and he wanted to persuade her to join the army. She was just a single seedling, so she was willing to let him go on a long journey.
"You can go, bring your mother and your sister with you, we have no obligation to take care of her for you." Chen Ming found Jia She, wanting his uncle to help persuade his mother to let him join the army, but unexpectedly Jia She She refused him without saying anything, and there were still such ruthless words waiting for him, "Believe it or not, as long as you dare to secretly sign up, I will immediately send their mother and daughter back to their hometown and hand them over to your grandmother, whether it is life or death See if I don’t care about them?” Jia Amnesty was also afraid that Chen Ming would sign up secretly, and once he was on file, even the king of heaven, I would never want him to stay at home and not join the army. Fortunately, this kid still knew to come and tell him, so that he would have time Stop, don't let him die.
Not to mention that Jia She felt sorry for him going to die. With his body, Qiongzhou would not even be able to reach Qiongzhou. .It doesn't matter if he dies, leaving the unknown sister is not to trouble him.
Chen Ming was also depressed. This exam was not good, and he heard her mother complain a lot. He didn't want to rely on her to make her angry. When I grow up, I can't stay at my uncle's house when I get married, and my sister will also marry, so I can't just live in someone else's house all the time.
After Jia Amnesty finished his harsh words, he went back and got angry with his son, "You said what kind of moth you gave birth to at such a young age. Even if I don't let your second brother go out, you want to leave me and join the army?" It turned out to be Jia Ying. He got hotheaded and wanted to join the army for Jia Lian.
"Little uncle can do it, why can't I?" It turned out that Xing Zhong caused the trouble. Jia Amnesty watched Xing Wei cry, and probably knew that Xing Zhong was determined. .
It's fake for every family to have a quota, and it's true to take the opportunity to make money. Xing Wei really wants to scold the emperor. You have more heart than a female businessman, but people have choices. In the end, it's Xing Zhong who concealed his family's registration.
"You are so cruel." The Xing family is also in a mess now, and the Chu family is desperately fighting Xing Zhong with his stomach in his arms.
