Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 254 Leaving Home

No matter how much you cry, those who should leave will still leave.

On June 17, the third year of Qingtai, the Xue family came to Caishiji.

Three years ago, after the Emperor conferred honors on the Wu family, he announced that he would never interfere in government affairs again.

Of course, given the emperor's temperament, everyone knows that this is just talk, and they will still intervene when they should.

However, this did not affect the emperor's joy. At the first court meeting on the first day of the first lunar month after the emperor retired, he personally announced the change of Yuan Dynasty.

Qingtai.

"On Wen Zhi Lun" written by Ying Tuan of the Han Dynasty: "Inheriting the Qing Dynasty and maintaining the peace of the industry."

Da Qi has reached its peak, so the emperor's primary purpose is to maintain the peak and maintain the overall peace of the empire.

There is no way, given the racial characteristics of Chinese people who "would rather be born", he would really rebel!

However, the matter of changing the Yuan Dynasty was successfully completed. After all, everyone knew that the emperor had the sinister intention of overstepping the emperor and directly setting the reign name. The emperor felt uncomfortable all over, so if it was changed, let's change it.

It has been three years since Qingtai.

After seven years of recuperation, Caishiji finally washed away the smoke of war and restored its former prosperity.

Jiangnan has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few years.

Due to the demise of a large number of big monopoly families.

When a whale falls, all things are born.

On the corpses of these great families, a large number of former domestic servants and workers seized the opportunity to pocket their own industries and transformed themselves into promising businessmen. These emerging small families that have mastered some of the technology have sprung up from the land of Jiangnan.

Of course, because the technology they have is either not complete enough, or the industrial chain is too large and has been dismantled, they all need to continue to cooperate and scheming with their former colleagues.

For at least thirty years, they will be in this state of checks and balances, and they will no longer be able to develop the great Jiangnan monopoly family they once were.

By the way, all important resources such as salt and iron mines in the entire Jiangnan were nationalized by the imperial court. Until the imperial court has a cerebral palsy emperor and distributes these industries to the people, Daqi will not be able to collect mining taxes. Case.

On the pier, a huge fleet is ready to go, waiting for the owners of the fleet to board the ship.

Xue Pan loved his sister, and Mrs. Xue loved her daughter to the core. In order that Xue Baochai would not suffer the grievances they imagined in the Jia family, Xue Pan gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and took out a gift with a total value of about two million. A dowry of two silvers!

Five large ships were loaded with wood, jade, furniture, carriages, sedan chairs, antiques and real gold and silver. This is not over yet. The Xue family had already purchased it in Shendu a few years ago when the old family leader was still alive. There were twelve shops in total. In order for Xue Baochai to have enough confidence to talk to the head of the family, the Xue family was bleeding a lot this time.

However, the Xue family's attitude towards the marriage with the Taiwei is still very positive. Putting aside everything else, is there no estimate of how much money they have made through the Taiwei's influence over the years?

If there was no in-law relationship, the money would be very hot for them to get!

The dowry was loaded onto the ship overnight, and the fleet could set off as soon as the eldest family of the Xue family boarded the ship.

Soon, the two sedans were carried onto the ship, and the mother and daughter wearing conical hats also got off the sedan. Just before they were about to enter the cabin, a familiar laughter stopped them.

"Hahaha, my subordinate Jia Hua has met Mrs. Xue!"

A middle-aged man wearing a navy blue round-collar uniform, a black gauze white jade hat with beads on his head, a round waist and a thick back, a broad face and a square mouth, sword-shaped eyebrows, starry eyes, straight nose and cheeks, walked from the side of the boat with his hands crossed. Coming over, Xue Pan walked behind this person with a reserved look.

"I wonder why the magpies are chirping on the branches outside the window today. It turns out it's Uncle Jia Fang in person! I'm going to pay homage to Uncle Jia Fang!" After recognizing who the person was, Mrs. .

It's Jia Yucun!

After helping Jia Hui to maintain food supplies for the rebels, Jia Yucun officially became the prefect of Jinling and presided over reconstruction matters through Jia Hui's operation.

Later, when the imperial court split Jiangnan, Jia Yucun relied on his good skills developed in the military camp to successfully overthrow the prefects of Xuzhou, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou and Songjiang, and successfully won the split for Jinling. After becoming the capital of Jianghuai Province, Jia Yucun's reputation in Jinling skyrocketed!

Just three years ago, Jia Yucun was promoted to the second Chief Envoy of the Jianghuai Chief Envoy Department on official duties. According to custom, he could already be called Uncle Jia Fang!

In recent years, although the Xue family's business has improved a lot because they relied on Jia Hui, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. No matter how strong Jia Hui is, he is not in Jinling. Therefore, Jia Hui's number one Ma Zai at the time was not as good as Tan Ji. Jia Yucun, known as one of the two generals of Hengha under General Jia, became the protective umbrella of the Xue family.

As the mistress of the Xue family, she is naturally familiar with Jia Yucun.

The two of them exchanged a few more polite words and exchanged remarks. At this moment, Jia Yucun seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned around with an apologetic expression to face Xue Baochai, who was watching the scene quietly.

"Oh my, my, I have been busy with my wife for two days, but I forgot to say hello to my wife!" Jia Yucun was very annoyed, and quickly bowed to Xue Baochai and said:

"Student Jia Hua, meet Madam"

"Wait a minute! Jia Fangbo, please don't do this! I am a concubine, how dare I be so shameless as to be called madam by my husband!" Xue Baochai was so frightened by Jia Yucun's name that he almost screamed, and quickly stopped her. Oh my god, I am called "Madam" by a provincial governor, even Li Wan, the mistress of the Duke's Mansion in Shendu, may not hear it a few times a year. How can He De, a concubine of mine who has not yet entered the house, be called "Madam"? Call me madam?

I originally thought that this matter would be over, but I didn't expect that Jia Yucun would still refuse to let me go: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We are all our own people here. What's wrong with calling me madam?"

"Yes, sister, Uncle Jia Fang is not an outsider. What's wrong with calling him madam? If we go to the capital of God, we won't have this chance!" Xue Pan on the side felt that what Jia Yucun said made sense!

Although he is not willing to let his biological sister become a concubine, after all, this is a marriage decided by his father, and the family has benefited a lot from this. Even if he is unwilling to do so, there is nothing he can do.

But I haven’t entered Jia’s house yet! So what if I bark a few times?

"Brother!" Upon hearing that his eldest brother said such words, Xue Baochai, who had long been accustomed to his mindless remarks, still felt angry and looked at Xue Pan with a look of resentment.

Oh my God, my God!

And "Uncle Jia Fang is not an outsider!"

Yes, Jia Yucun is indeed not an outsider, but that is for the Jia family and the Taiwei, not for himself!

As smart as Xue Baochai, he has long seen what kind of person Jia Yucun is. He is a person who has no profit and cannot afford to be early. The county government can support him and provide him with resources to display his ambitions in the officialdom, so Jia Yucun Yucun is very loyal to Jia Hui. As a merchant girl, even if she is an imperial merchant, what can she bring to Jia Yucun?

money? What a joke. He was responsible for counting the properties seized after the rebellion. How could he have no money?

It's not because of her status as Jia Hui's concubine that Jia Yucun can look up to her!

You cannot ignore your identity just because the sky is high and the sun is far away. Since you have become a concubine, you must correct your mentality and be careful at all times!

"That's okay!" Seeing Xue Baochai's determination, Jia Yucun no longer pressed, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Phew. The mission of the general and his wife is finally completed!

It seems that the general and his wife want to test Aunt Xue's temperament. From Jia Yucun's point of view, this kind of test is completely unnecessary.

Based on my own observation, this girl is smooth and tolerant and understands justice, so she will definitely not do anything unwise.

Even with Xue Baochai's steady, peaceful, considerate, and indifferent temperament, she was more than enough to be a mistress, but being a concubine was really an injustice.

But this is what Jia Yucun is afraid of. Under these advantages, there is also a arrogant heart!

What if, what if a conflict breaks out between this girl and her mistress after she joins the family?

Forget it, let the generals and the others worry about these things, they have nothing to do with me anyway.

After I get home and compile all of Xue Baochai's performance in the past few years into a book, I can send it to the general!

. . . . . .

Jia Hui actually had no feelings for Xue Baochai.

Maybe it's because when I first saw her, she was less than ten years old, and the only impression I had was "this child is really sensible", and a kid under ten years old can only be said to be very cute. , as for beauty.

Although Jia Hui was a lolita control in her previous life, she only controlled two-dimensional lolita. Three dimensions? No female brat is annoying enough!

Moreover, three-dimensional people are going to jail!

"It's not bad! She knows the rules, knows how to advance and retreat, and is quick-witted. Even if she takes her out, she is considered superior to other mistresses. Even if the master takes her out to attend some important banquets, she will not insult the master's status." Li Wan also finished reading Jia Yucun's report, and looked at Jia Hui with an expressionless expression.

"Huh? What, are you jealous?" Jia Hui looked at Li Wan who rolled his eyes teasingly, and pulled her into his arms.

"Jealous? How is it possible? I'm just lamenting that I'm already old and yellow. Taking her out will no longer reflect your status, sir.

So, sir, you have no choice but to eat young grass and find a young girl who can help you." Li Wan frowned melancholy, as if Jia Hui was ruthless.

"Ah?" Hearing this, Jia Hui looked puzzled, lowered his head and looked at his married wife again.

Although she is already a mother of two children, her figure becomes even more graceful because Jia Hui often takes her to the school field for sports.

His brows reveal spirituality, his eyes are like stars, and the whites of his eyes shine like the bright moon. Bright eyes and white teeth, skin as white as jade, long black hair spread like a waterfall, light and agile, gently brushing on the shoulders, exuding a faint fragrance.

Wearing silk and satin, she looks even more graceful, luxurious, elegant and dignified, reflecting her temperament developed over many years as the mistress of the county's palace.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The friendship between you and me is only brought about by this skin? You are seventy or eighty years old, and she is also my first wife, Jia Hui! When the time comes, I will find someone to rent a cart. , pushing you around to see and play, without anyone else except the two of us! If anyone from any family dares to disrespect you, I will help you deal with them severely, and the whole family will be beaten!" Jia Hui said lamely to Li Wan talks about love.

The relationship between the two of them was cultivated by childhood sweethearts. Everything happened so naturally. Jia Hui really hasn't said anything about love in more than ten years.

"Uh-huh, that's good, don't say it again next time." After listening to this guy's love words that could make people touch their feet to the ground in embarrassment, Li Wan rolled his eyes at Jia Hui, but there was nothing he could do, Brother Hui said It’s a love story, what else can we do?

How can we leave?

Soon, Jia Hui heard his wife in his arms purring like a cat.

Oops, it actually works!

Oh, you duplicitous woman, since you like someone’s love words so much, then I’ll say some to you every night!

Li Wan suddenly shivered in his arms and woke up with a start, but then he thought that the most powerful general in the world was holding him in his arms. He felt so safe that he relaxed his whole body again, lying on Jia Hui's body like a boneless body. In arms.

"By the way, that incident about the Wu family." Li Wan gently turned over and faced Jia Hui, "It will be the birthday of the old concubine of Nan'an Wang in five days. The Huo family of Nan'an Wang is planning to hold a grand party. I feel that the Wu family The mistress will definitely go."

"Forget it, if you talk about this at someone's birthday banquet, it would be fine if the Wu family's mistress gives up and agrees, but what if she gets angry and starts a fight with you? You have offended the Prince of Nan'an for no reason, our family is in Nanhai Do you still want the business?" Jia Hui immediately denied this time.

"Yes, I feel the same way." Li Wan was not surprised by Jia Hui's reaction. She only mentioned it, in case this guy went crazy and had to solve the problem on that day. Is it done?

"Then it will be nine days later. It happens that the Shui family has finished repairing their garden outside the city, and they are inviting you, my husband, my wife, and our children to go to the garden together! For a family like the Wu family that has become prosperous by chance, now is the time. It's the time when they pursue elegance and want to squeeze into the circle of our ministers. They must rush forward to such elegant things as garden tours." Li Wan told the time and place he chose.

How can the Jia family dare to be more beautiful than before when they engage in such things as the Wu family? Of course, we need to mobilize family and friends to do it together!

It happened that the Shui family's younger siblings were not looked down upon by the Wu family's mistress, who only looked at their titles to flatter them because Shui Che's title was only Weiyuan county uncle. He also neglected him several times, so his master's old brother, Shui Che's wife, Shui Loushi, was very dissatisfied with him!

When they heard their idea, the Shui family siblings immediately decided to do it together!

No matter who wants to mess with the Wu family, I, the Shuilou clan, will definitely help!

"Then let's do it." Since the mistress of the Shui family agreed, Shui Che, with his razor-sharp ears, didn't dare to object. Since the host family has no objection, what can Jia Hui say?

"So, ma'am, it's time to go to bed!"

"Well!"
