The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 618 New - A Good Marriage
The big changes in the palace on the night of the full moon did not cause much commotion in the capital.

It seems to be deliberately suppressed.

Even if someone spreads it in the market, Jin Yiwei will arrest and imprison people extremely quickly.

Coupled with the thunderous movements of the Dragon Guards and the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and all kinds of incredible true and false news to add fuel to the flames, the real news was quickly suppressed.

But those well-informed high-ranking officials and rich families naturally got the news quickly.

Nan Wang is the mastermind behind the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City. He wants Li to replace the Tao's rigid plan and launch a coup to seize the door.

And Wang An, the No. [-] figure in the Silijian, worked with him, and used various means to avoid the eyes and ears of the Yumajian and Longjianwei.

Even the guards of the Forbidden Army were deceived.

Fortunately, Uncle Yunyang of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chen Zhao, the imperial censor of Tiju Jinmen Liusi, and Sun Shaozong, the prime minister of Shuntian Prefecture, worked together and discovered the slightest clues, thus solving the case in one sentence and successfully rescued him.

The so-called highest achievement since ancient times is nothing more than rescue.

Chen Zhao and Sun Shaozong were the main contributors to this rescue.

Therefore, in the early dynasty, Emperor Xiaode granted Chen Zhao the Duke of Cheng, Jin Yiwei Zuo Dudu, Jinmen Admiral, Governor Jinmen opened the port, and Jinmen officials, big and small, were all subject to his restraint.

Sun Shaozong was also granted the title of Uncle Yongchang, the hereditary commander of Jinyiwei, and was promoted to the governor of Shuntian Prefecture.

At the same time, the emperor decreed to ban the Nanwang lineage, and the Nanwang family was destroyed.

At the same time, he decreed to reprimand many powerful families.

The most severe of these was the deprivation of the title of first-class uncle Niu Jizong, the grandson of Zhenguo Gong Niu Qing. The Niu family was ransacked and the property was confiscated.

For a while, there was a sensation in the ruling and opposition parties.

Chen Zhaocai stopped working for a few months, and then rose to the position again.

Isn't this slapping them in the face?

But Emperor Xiaode is majestic and profound, and he just went through a storm last night, who would dare to shout at this time to save the heroes?

So everyone pinched their noses and recognized it.

These things seem to be very sensational, but compared to the previous years when Prince Yizhong was imprisoned, countless heroes rose up, and countless honorable families were destroyed, I don't know how easy it is.

So it hardly caused any disturbance in the capital.

Even Chen Zhao didn't bother to pay attention.

He stayed in the capital for a while, gathered with old friends, had a drink, and was about to return to Jinmen when he received a message.

Baoyu is engaged.

For the Jia family, whose elders are focused on having fun in their home, the ups and downs outside don't seem to affect them.

Especially for Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang who are in charge of the house.

As long as Jia Yuanchun is still a virtuous concubine, they will have peace of mind.

But Chen Zhao didn't expect that they would get Baoyu engaged so quickly.

The girl on the other side is not a high-ranking official or aristocrat.

It turned out to be Xia Jingui of the well-known Royal Merchant Osmanthus Xia family.

It turned out that some time ago, Mrs. Wang took Baoyu to the Wang family in Dong'an County for a banquet, and met the mother and daughter of the Xia family who came to the banquet.

So under the manipulation of a caring person, after a series of "coincidences", Baoyu accepted a purse from Xia Jingui.

Coincidentally, the female relatives of many princes and ministers all saw it.

When it came to this point, Mrs. Wang didn't want to agree, and she had no choice but to do so.

And after she inquired about the situation of Osmanthus Xia's family, she was absolutely willing in her heart.

The Xia family is an imperial merchant family named in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and is one of the largest families. The family is extremely wealthy. They are a big landowner and rich man in the capital. Needless to say, there are dozens of hectares of land to grow osmanthus alone. All the osmanthus bureaus outside the city of Chang'an belong to the Xia family, and even the bonsai displayed in the palace are tributes from the Xia family, so they are called "Osmanthus Xia Family".

Osmanthus Xia's family is famous, and in Chang'an City, everyone from princes to merchants knows about it. When it comes to the name of Osmanthus Xia's family, both Ningrong and Rongfu also know it.The Xia family monopolized all the bonsai decorations in the palace and managed all the sweet-scented osmanthus bureaus in and outside Chang'an City. Just like the weaving bureau that supplies fabrics for the palace, the sweet-scented osmanthus bureau is an imperial merchant's yamen affiliated to the Fengchen Garden of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. , exclusively for the supply of flower bonsai in the palace.There are three weaving bureaus, and the Xia family manages all the sweet-scented osmanthus bureaus. The Xia family monopolizes all the bonsai decorations in the palace. The Xia family is even more powerful than Jiangning weaving.

Xia Jingui was born like a flower and jade, she is a full-fledged beauty, and she can read well. Among women, she has outstanding Chinese proficiency, which can be regarded as both internal and external.

What's even better is that the Xia family is not only a wealthy family with millions of dollars, but also has no sons. When Xia Jingui arrived, it was equivalent to gaining the Xia family's millions and illustrious family fortune.

From this perspective, Xia Jingui's family background and character appearance are perfect and impeccable.At the time of the wedding, the Xia family had no sons, and all the family property belonged to the son-in-law and future grandson. With Xia Jingui's condition of bringing a million dowry, he must marry into a family with a higher status, and the Xia family is already one of the top households. The family is extremely rich, and Xia Jingui's personal conditions are excellent, so the one who can marry Xia Jingui must be an extremely powerful and prominent family of aristocrats.

After inquiring about this situation, Mrs. Wang did not discuss it with Jia's mother at all, but just gave Jia Zheng a gust of wind when he returned to Beijing.

The Rongguo Mansion cannot make ends meet.

The shops and farms in Fuzhong are constantly losing money!

The title of the mansion is in the eldest room!
The treasury of the Gongzhong treasury is almost at a gallop. If this continues, the Rongguo Mansion will be overwhelmed without a huge amount of capital injection.

Without the signboard of Rongguo Mansion, what else could the second master of Rongguo Mansion do?
Although Jia Zheng has been working as a member of the Ministry of Industry for a long time, but he was not a top-notch Jinshi, so he has been excluded for so many years, and he has been humiliated.

But it costs money to seek a foreign job.

The Jia family can't make ends meet, how can there be money for him to run away?
At this time, the Xia family's millions of assets dazzled his eyes.

So Mrs. Wang immediately sent a letter to the palace, and soon asked the concubine Xiande to issue a decree, bestowing marriage Baoyu and Xia Jingui, and the decree even included the words "golden jade and good fate".

So when Baochai and others heard about it from Wang Xifeng, who was visiting the house, they couldn't help being shocked: "Why did you suddenly say that you are going to get married after only a few days?"

Wang Xifeng sneered: "In broad daylight, in full view of everyone, Baoyu and Miss Xia gave each other gifts and took the handmade purses with their own hands. Even though the second wife was not prepared at all, she had to bite the bullet and agreed. But later After asking about their situation, I was absolutely convinced."

She paused, took a sip of tea, and said, "When I talked to the second master Lian, I thought that the second master must be opposed to such a high-minded personality. Who would have thought that he had millions of dollars in his family, and he would have to wait for him to give up?" The grandson inherited it, so he was very willing. He even thought that his family was the royal family, and the other party was also a wealthy family, so it was a good match, so it was settled. And because Baoyu was old, it was not easy to delay, so he couldn't help but hurry up. Fortunately, etiquette It's all there. It's just..."

Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "Second Master Lian is also an official. He asked someone to ask questions a long time ago. When he came back and told me, we both thought that there was something wrong with this marriage."

Baoqin sneered and said, "What's wrong? It's not right at all."

Although she is a girl, she has traveled around with her father since she was a child, and even went to northern Xinjiang to communicate with girls from Eros, so in terms of knowledge, she is almost as knowledgeable as those Angzang men.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Baoqin said: "Baoyu is not familiar with worldly affairs and knows almost nothing. He just indulges in romance, poetry, wine and tea, in front of flowers and under the moon, even if he is being plotted against, he doesn't even know. Which noble family is there? , let your own daughter meet with a foreigner? And let Miss Xia exchange gifts with him?"

Then he shook his head and said: "Knowing how to use this method shows that they have checked Brother Bao's character and are willing to do this only when they feel that they have a way to control it. Mrs. Wang is greedy for their extreme wealth, and she is afraid that she has made a wrong calculation. That girl must It's very scheming, I'm afraid their second room will be lively in the future."

Everyone nodded.

And Wang Xifeng was all smiles.

Everyone could see Wang Xifeng's gloating.

The girls all knew the situation of Wang Xifeng's pregnancy. Although they were suppressed by Jia's mother, if they said that they didn't have any thoughts in their hearts, they could only be deceiving themselves.

So Wang Xifeng has such a mentality, and everyone expresses their understanding.

Baochai looked at everyone, and then said to Wang Xifeng: "Second sister-in-law is afraid that she will stay in the east courtyard well in the future, so she should stop going to Rongxi hall, if she bumps into her, she might even hurt you. "

Wang Xifeng sneered: "I'm going to Rongxi Hall? Humph! Originally, the Xijue of Rongguo Mansion is the big house, so we should live there. It's not because the master is incompetent and the old lady is partial! I'll just see how long they can be happy .”
