The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 658 Follow-up Arrangements
In October of the seventh year of Xiaode, Li Changqing led a victorious army into Beijing. The emperor held a military parade in person. The army shouted long live and stepped into the city. Looking at the military appearance in full swing, and seeing the dazzling array of spoils, all the people in the city were overjoyed, especially the emperor. Long Yan is very happy.

It was logical that the emperor named Li Changqing the British Duke, and the ministers who made great contributions to the Eastern Expedition Army were rewarded.

In December, Yue Zhongqi was ordered to return to Beijing, presenting the spoils of war and the tributes of the various tribes in the Western Regions, and the new chief of the Heshuote tribe danced in the Forbidden City.

The emperor appointed Yue Zhongqi as Cao Guogong according to the law.The meritorious ministers of the Western Expeditionary Army will be rewarded.

So far, the Xiaode Dynasty has newly established three Dukes, twelve Marquises, and fifteen Earls.

In addition, Qiu Zhongshan, Yang Lin and other generals promoted by Emperor Xiaode.

Emperor Xiaode reestablished a new honor system.

This system not only took away the various military rights of the original four kings and eight princes, but also had a high voice in the court. In a short period of time, the civil service system could not get involved at all.

In addition, Emperor Xiaode's eunuch system is also very powerful.

So far, the three parties of the Great Zhou Dynasty checked and balanced, and Emperor Xiaode became the most powerful emperor in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, at this point, the four kings and eight princes who have been raided from the empty house are no longer a concern, and the prisoners locked in the prison temple can be released.

……

After the verdicts of several governments came down, Jiamu and other innocent people were released, as were Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian and Baoyu.Everyone gathered outside the prison, and Jia Min came to pick them up with the housekeeper of the Lin family. Jia Huan also came, and took them to the village that had been arranged in advance.

On the Ningguo Mansion side, Butler Lin made arrangements. He first took Jia Rong, Youshi and Hushi to the house bought with Xichun's private money.Butler Lin said: "This house was purchased by the fourth girl with the money from her position as the county chief's mistress. Master Zhen was sent here early and has been taken care of. Brother Rong and the two grandmothers live here first."

"There is still a hundred acres of land around this house, so it will be given to the Ning Mansion first. The fourth girl said that I won't give you the land deed here, but just rent it, please let the three of you collect the flowers - the land rent here I can have 100 taels of silver a year, which is much richer than ordinary people, and it’s enough for spending money.”

"The fourth girl also said that if the three of you don't know how to restrain yourself, waste money, and lose your fortune indiscriminately, she will definitely not care about it anymore, and let you fend for yourself. If the three of you know that you have repented, and you have changed from now on, you will also be willing." An Sheng has lived a life, and she will take care of his nephew's study and school in the future. Also, here is 500 taels of silver, which is given by the fourth girl. "

Youshi said: "It's good that my aunt can do this."

After experiencing this catastrophe, Jia Rong changed her mind greatly, and she survived. Immediately, she started to fetch water and fire, and prepared to settle down.

Jia Mu, Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, Jia Cong, Baoyu and his wife, and Aunt Zhou, Yuanyang, Baochan, Musk Moon, who were bought by Lin Butler, in the courtyard that Wang Xifeng originally built, Aunt Zhao and Tanchun , Jia Huan also came over, a dense group of people stood there, and the room immediately became crowded.

At this time, Jia She was talking about Wang Xifeng: "...this place is so small and rough, how can people live there? Go and tell your aunt and grandma to change us to a place to live, preferably in the city, a five-year-old house, or We need to bring a garden, even though our family is ruined, how many relatives do we still have, all of whom are extremely valuable, so we can’t let people look down upon us, can we?”

No one else spoke, Jia Huan took a step forward and said: "If uncle doesn't want to live, just get out, I want to see, who in the capital would dare to take care of people that Uncle Lin doesn't want to take care of?"

When Jia Amnesty received Jia Huan's stern words, he couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately flew into a rage, but before he could speak, Jia Min walked over and said indifferently: "Brother, your family has reached this point, you are dead. Don’t fall down! Why are you pretending to be prestige here? Why don’t you go to the city and brag about it with your friends, or go to the stone nerd’s house to see those ancient fans and see if Shuntian Mansion will help you busy?"

As soon as this remark came out, Jia Amnesty immediately flinched, and stood behind Jiamu in a useless manner.

But everyone's eyes were still glaring at him.

After all, the trigger for the Jia family's loss of power was that Jia She forcibly snatched Shi Duazi's fan and put him in jail.

The Jia family is in such a situation, the greatest responsibility is Jia Amnesty.

He still has the face to chatter here!
You don't even have a title, so what's the point?

At this moment, Steward Lin came in and saluted Jia Min: "Madam, the Ningguo Mansion has been settled."

"Yeah." Jia Min nodded, but walked to Mother Jia's side, comforting her in a low voice.

Mother Jia asked, "Where are the mother and son in Zhu'er's family?"

Jia Min said: "Lan'er is studying in the Jinyiwei Academy, where accommodation is arranged, and there is a salary every month. I heard from Yu'er that after Lan'er graduates, it is up to him to decide whether to take the imperial examination or enter the Jinyiwei."

Mother Jia looked at Aunt Zhao, her mother and her son, and sighed: "Huan'er and his mother-in-law came to see us, but the Zhu'er family couldn't come. It's just that when a disaster is approaching, they all fly away!"

Speaking of this, she held Jia Min's hand and said tearfully, "Min'er, thanks to you."

Jia Min also shed tears and said: "I couldn't do anything before, and the master didn't dare to tell me too much. These were arranged by my uncle early on. Your Majesty Tianwei, we can only abide by it, and ask my mother to take care of the housework."

Jia Mu also knew that this was not a time of pain, so she agreed after a little thought.Jia Lian was ordered to write the contract immediately, Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian were the guarantors, and Baoyu and Jia Huan all signed it.

Because Jia Huan had the benefits of Jinyiwei, he took Aunt Zhao and Tanchun to live somewhere else. Li Wan and Jia Lan were not here either. In fact, the only people in the second room were Baoyu and his wife and Aunt Zhou at this time.
Jia Min talked to Jia Mu, and the following matters were naturally handled by Butler Lin. Butler Lin said to Baoyu and Xia Jingui: "The house and land here belong to you. If the second master and second wife are lucky enough to come back in the future, they will live here. Do you two have any objections?"

Baoyu hurriedly asked: "Uncle Gao Yi, Baoyu is very grateful, but I don't know my ancestor..."

Jia Min interrupted him and said: "Baoyu, don't worry about this matter. Your uncle has already arranged for it, and he bought part of the dowry from Feng girl through the door. With a Zhuangzi of more than [-] mu, I don’t know if the Feng girl’s family is going to enter the city or stay in the Zhuangzi?”

Jia She hurriedly shouted: "Of course we want to enter the city."

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and said: "My aunt's family cares about us, Feng'er is very grateful, but we are sinners now, and we will inevitably be looked down upon by others if we go to the city now, it's better to stay in Zhuangzi, cultivate ourselves for a few years, and wait for things to fade away It’s not too late to enter the city again.”

Jia Min nodded and said, "Since it's your dowry, it's natural to respect your wishes." Then she asked Jia's mother, "What does mother mean? Do you want to stay here or follow the elder brother's family?"

Mother Jia thought for a while, then sighed: "Huan'er and his mother, as well as Zhu'er's wife, live in the city. I don't worry about it. This girl Jingui is pregnant. Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law." They are also orphans and widowed mothers, if I don't stay here, there will be no elders here, what a shame."

Jia Min understood: "Since that's the case, I will also keep the coffin book that His Majesty gave to my mother for the elderly."

When Jia She heard about "The Coffin Book", she immediately became jealous: "Old lady, I am your son, how can you not follow your grandson?"

Jia Min snorted coldly and said nothing. Jia Mu glanced at him coldly and said, "Boss, don't think I don't know what you are thinking about. Don't worry, the family is like this now, so I won't I have taken care of Baoyu but not you. Those things of mine, apart from the funeral ceremony, will be divided equally between Brother Shu, Brother Xuan and Baoyu a hundred years from now."

When Jia Amnesty heard about it, she was still a little unconvinced. Mother Jia said coldly, "Don't blame me for not giving it to you. Your first-rank general's title is gone, and the chain that is involved has lost his official position. The rest of the mansion is now The only ones I can count on are Brother Chang and Baoyu, so I am naturally more partial to them. If not, how can I have the face to go underground to meet the old man?"

Hearing that Mother Jia moved out the old Duke, Jia Amnesty had no choice but to shut up resentfully.

Jia Min also said: "Brother, if you still want to continue to prodigal, go to your group of cronies. They usually don't take less favors from you. Isn't it a good time to repay their favors this time? Are you going?"

Of course Jia She didn't dare to go.

In the past, when he spends his days and nights, he is only served by others to flatter him. If he passes away now, he is afraid that he will be humiliated to death.

So he shrank his head and didn't speak.

Seeing that the discussion was settled, Wang Xifeng took the lead in pulling Jia Cong and helping Madam Xing out, followed by Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian.

After they went out, Jia Min handed a box to Jia Mu: "This is something that Feng girl kept for Baoyu and you earlier."

Mother Jia caressed the box, with mixed feelings in her heart. After she calmed down, she called Baoyu and Xia Jingui to come forward and handed the box to them: "This is the escape route your second sister-in-law left for you before. Just accept it." Live a good life, now that things have happened, our family doesn’t ask for anything else, as long as everything is safe and sound.”

Baoyu and Xia Jingui opened the box suspiciously, and when they saw the contents, they were immediately surprised: "This... this is too..."

Jia Min said: "The things here, including the house and property, were left by the old lady, but the money for the shop was what Feng Yatou and the fourth girl had asked for from Mr. Bao earlier. They didn't have any flowers, so they all were saved for you. There are also Some of them were prepared by the second girl, in order to thank the second master Bao for taking care of her dowry that day." He handed them another baggage: "The things here are what Feng girl thinks is good, and they have not been converted into money and saved. And to you.”

Baoyu and Xia Jingui were overwhelmed with emotion at once, and Baoyu said tearfully, "I'm useless, and my ancestors and sisters are responsible for preparing my way out."

Xia Jingui comforted Baoyu, and then saluted Jia Min: "Thank you aunt and sisters for your kindness, we will not let you down."

Jia Min sighed: "Baoyu, I'm your aunt and I won't harm you. Let me advise you a few words. In the past, you were able to enjoy life and hated official careers because your ancestors created a good and rich life for you. If you think you It should be like this by nature, then it is a big mistake. Brother-in-law Lin is not a few years older than you, but he has become a first-rank member now, if you think it is useless, then think about life in the Prison Temple."

After finishing speaking, he said to Jia Mu: "Mom, you stay here well, and I will come to see you every now and then."
