The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 287 Xue Baochai Wants to Escape Marriage ([-])

The case of Ma Qiming, deputy governor of the Beijing camp, and Chen Jiayin, the garrison of Changping Prefecture, colluding with the bandits was heard by the three judicial divisions, discussed by the minister of military aircraft, and made a final judgment by the emperor.

The two were convicted of banditry and should have been severely punished.However, thinking of the merits of his ancestors, he was punished lightly.Going to serve in the military station outside the Great Wall.

A military platform is a military station.Some officials who committed crimes will be dispatched to the military platform for hard labor.

Although this punishment is also a kind of exile, it is much better than being exiled to places like Ninggu Pagoda.

If you have money in your family and have a good relationship with the officers in the military platform, you will not suffer much.

There is another biggest advantage of being sent to the military station, which is incomparable to some other methods of exile.That is, there is still a chance to be reactivated by the court and make a comeback.

In the history of the Daedeok Dynasty, there are many such precedents.

After Jia Min left the imperial capital, he had gradually disappeared from people's topics.However, following the news of Ma Qiming and Chen Jiayin's assignment, Jia Min, who had been away from the imperial capital for half a year, became a topic of discussion again.

Dajinmen Fengyue District, Yuhualou brothel.

Gu Panpan's business is still booming as always. After Shen Bingyi left, as the number one here, she is in the limelight.

To some extent, the Dajinmen Fengyue District is a symbol of the rise and fall of the imperial capital.

Those who often come here are mostly proud people.Those who used to come often but now seldom come are basically experiencing some unhappiness.

Those who disappear from here may disappear forever, not only from here, but also from officialdom and shopping malls.

Jia Min, the military detective who was once famous in the imperial capital, disappeared from here.

Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Chen Ruiwen and Ma Shangde, who used to come here frequently, also disappeared.

Once upon a time, Gu Panpan thought that they were all outstanding sons of aristocratic families.When I think of the time when I had a good time with them, I am not only a little emotional.

This gave her some understanding of Shen Bingyi who had retired.Sure enough, good flowers don't always bloom, and good times don't always come.

However, some people still come here often, such as Luo Hanlin.

Today Luo Hanlin is the host, and Mei Hanlin, his colleague from the Imperial Academy, is invited.His uncle Luo Qihua had nothing to do, so he also came to the banquet together.

Gu Panpan is already used to this kind of drinking game.She didn't bother to listen to what the guests said, but the people these few people were talking about today caught her attention.

Because they mentioned an acquaintance of hers - Jia Min.

"I didn't expect that Ma Qiming and Chen Jiayin would fall into the hands of a child. This Jia Min is cruel enough."

As Mei Hanlin drank, he felt a little emotional.

"This Jia Min, I have dealt with him several times. Apart from his poetry and business talent, he does have a bit of strategy in his work. In a blink of an eye, the Zhiguofu and the Qiguofu were disgraced."

When Luo Hanlin mentioned Jia Minlai now, he felt a little complicated.

"That's right, this kid is not a master of peace. I thought he had gone to a remote place in Puquina, and he has disappeared since then. Unexpectedly, during this time, he has made a lot of noises."

Luo Qihua still had a calm and steady demeanor.

"I would like to hear Master Luo's advice."

"I can't talk about advice, it's just some anecdotes. This kid first went from the imperial capital to Bukui within two months. This marching speed has never been seen before. At first, neither the Ministry of War nor the emperor believed it. Yes, and later quietly sent someone to investigate, and it was proved to be true.”

"If this is true, there is some ability. As far as I know, it used to take four months."

"Not only that, but this Jia Min also made a splash. 500 exiled people were taken to Bukui, and none of them were killed, injured, sick or escaped on the way. Even the emperor reprimanded Ningguta and the Western Regions, saying that Jia Min can do it alone, why can't they do it?"

"There is something fresher. Jia Min is in Bukui and is improving the food for exiles, saying that he wants to reduce the death rate and escape rate of exiles. Even the emperor is paying attention to this matter, and asked the Ministry of Justice to go to Bukui to investigate. a bit."

Luo Qihua knew some inside information, so naturally he didn't mind showing it off in front of others.

"Not only that, but that Jia Min has to ask the four tribes in the South Vendura Grassland for the tribute money of these years?"

"Tribute money? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Mei Hanlin was obviously a little surprised.

"It's not just that you haven't heard of it, even I haven't heard of it. After Jia Min's book came up, we checked for a long time before we found out that there was indeed such a thing. It turns out that Emperor Taizu and Wendula The "Covenant of Vendura" was signed on the grassland. It's just that they only handed it in for 20 years, and never handed it in again. Up to now, it has been more than 70 years."

"70 years, such a long time, isn't it a huge sum of money?"

"If it can be collected, it will naturally be a huge sum of money. I'm afraid it won't be collected. Those barbarians are all rebellious, and they are in an alien place. How can they be willing to submit? Even the emperor won't report anything. What about hope? I'm afraid Jia Min is very happy about this matter."

"Although there is suspicion of being overjoyed, this Jia Min is a bit courageous."

"That's natural. There are still some talents in Rongguo Mansion. Not to mention men, even women are capable. I heard that Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion are now run by three young women. Take that Business and housekeeping are booming."

"I've heard about this matter, but I heard that the head of the Rongguo Mansion is a girl from the Xue family, and she seems to be quite capable."

"I've also heard about this girl, she is the successor of Ziwei Sheren. In my opinion, she is very suitable for Young Master Ling."

Luo Qihua finally turned the topic back to today's key point.

"If Quanzi can really get such a person, it will be a blessing to my Mei family, and I'm afraid it will not be able to climb high."

"What's wrong with your Mei family? Although Xue's family was prestigious before, it is now in decline. It is no longer comparable to the past. Now it is just living in Rongguo Mansion. I heard that other families also like this girl. If you want to, it's better to start early."

"To be honest, last year a matchmaker mentioned about the girl from the Xue family. But at that time, they heard that the Xue family intended to betroth the girl to Jia Min, so the matter was let go. Later, I heard that Jia Min was making a divination. Kui, this matter fell through, I just wanted to pick it up again, and now Master Luo reminds me, I have to seize the opportunity."

"Jia Min is nothing to worry about. Sigh, although this guy has some skills, but he shows his sharpness, he is very happy, and he is very taboo. I am afraid it will be difficult to go further. Besides, his army regiment has only trained a few times. In a few months, I will go to the bitterly cold place in the extreme north to fight against the grassland cavalry, I am afraid it will be more or less auspicious."

"Yeah, I've also heard that his method of training troops is quite special. He just practiced walking and folding quilts every day? Could folding quilts be enough to wipe out the enemy?"

"That's why, the emperor is very dissatisfied with the training of the soldiers of the various families this time. In some families, the direct descendants are all in name, and they didn't participate in the training at all. Depending on what the emperor wants, maybe someday Check out the children of aristocratic families who evaded military service."

Several people were drinking and chatting when the housekeeper of the Mei family came.After whispering a few words in Mei Hanlin's ear, Mei Hanlin stood up.

"Lord Luo. Brother Luo, I'm really sorry. Jiaci suddenly fell ill, and I have to go back immediately. I was disrespectful today, and I will ask you two to make amends some other day."

"In that case, please go back quickly. Leave us alone, let's drink here for a while."

Mei Hanlin left in a hurry, while Luo Hanlin and Luo Qihua continued to drink.

"Uncle, there is something unknown about my nephew."

"What's the matter, say."

"Why did uncle encourage Mei Hanlin to go to the Xue family to propose marriage?"

"Nephew, remember. When you look at things, you must see both far and deep. The Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion were already in decline. It is because of Jia Min that they are now revived." .”

"Although Jia Min has been released, this guy does have some tricks, and he does it ruthlessly. Who would have thought that Ma Qiming and Chen Jiayin could fall into his hands?"

"What Jia Min relies on is his own ability, and the Rongguo Mansion. The Jia family, the Wang family, the Shi family, and the Xue family have always been united in the same spirit. One prospers and the other suffers. Now Jia Min uses it again. Military training, binding the Feng family, the Chen family and the Wei family together, these seven families together constitute a huge force. If they are tightly huddled together and want to do something, it is difficult for anyone to stop them of."

"Uncle, what you mean is to break up the alliance of these families by marrying them with other families?"

"Children can be taught, that's basically what it means. Besides, the girls in those families are said to be pretty good. You might as well do some activities and encourage other families to propose marriage too."

The father and son spoke lightly, but Gu Panpan, who was drinking with him, was secretly shocked when he heard it.

However, she is also a seasoned person, knowing this kind of thing, she should not know too much, so she pretended to eat wine and food, as if she had no interest in it.

Another half an hour later, the two had enough to eat and drink before leaving.

When the two of them went out, Gu Panpan relaxed, but he was already covered in cold sweat.

Sitting alone, I mourn for Jia Min.

For Jia Min, Gu Panpan actually has a complicated feeling.Because he often dealt with Niu Jizong and Luo Hanlin, he was quite clear about the grievances and grievances between Jia Min and them.

In her opinion, Jia Min does things based on his own true ability, and he does things openly and aboveboard, which is very different from this group of people who are always scheming people behind their backs.

It was hard work for Jia Min to be dispatched to the border guards in the extreme north. It was unfair to Jia Min, a martial artist who also had the merit of suppressing bandits.

Unexpectedly, Jia Min has come to this point, it is too much for these people to use such despicable means to plot against him.
