The eldest son of the red mansion

"The old lady said to let him go this time, but it won't be too late for him to deal with it where there is more courtesy."

Jia Ke was silent for a long while and said, "Send someone to inform the old lady, and tell her father has already given instructions. Let him go this time."

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Lin Zhixiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Master, what should we do with this box?"

The cold light in Jia Ke's eyes kept flashing out. He never believed that Jia Zhen would stop thinking this time, so he said angrily: "Store this box of things for me in the warehouse. He will use this box next time. Buy him a cemetery with the money in the box.”

After Jia Ke finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves and left.

Lin Zhixiao stood there looking at Jia Ke's life far and near, his back was wet with sweat. Only now did he feel the majesty of the chief minister of the Military Disciplinary Department.Jia Zhen really hit the iron plate this time, the uncle will stare at him for a long time, but if he offends a little, their uncle will destroy Jia Zhen's family.

Not long after Feng Mo left the capital for Liaodong, Jia Ke's three concubines in Xuanfu Town came back, and at the same time, Wei Kun, the spy chief he had hoped for, was arranged by Jia Ke as soon as Wei Kun came back. Go out and quickly disappear from everyone's sight.

Qian Mao took up his post again as Jia Ke's housekeeper, and this time he was appointed as the chief housekeeper of Wuyang Houfu.On weekdays, it is to assist Qin Keqing in handling all the affairs of the Marquis of Wuyang.

The most difficult thing for Jia Ke to deal with is the three concubines. Now Jia Ke is in close contact with Qin Keqing, so he doesn't want these people to disturb their relationship. In the end, Jia Ke arranged them in the three concubines next to the main room. Live in a courtyard.

Qin Keqing already knew that Jia Ke had three concubines, and also knew the rules of the aristocratic family. Besides, Jia Ke didn't have any eldest son, so she didn't have any estrangement with Jia Ke because of this.

Among the three concubines, Lan Xiang was always in charge of the internal affairs of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, and she was smart, so she often went to serve Qin Keqing, and she was not jealous in front of Qin Keqing, and always put Qin Keqing first, even like a maid. Serving her, so she got Qin Keqing's favor, as Qin Keqing's assistant, helping her with housework.Now Lan Xiang's status is like that of Ping'er next to Wang Xifeng in Dream of the Red Chamber.Because of the appearance of Lan Xiang, Ruizhu, Qin Keqing's personal maid, was blocked by an arrow.So by Qin Keqing's side, Ruizhu and Lan Xiang fought openly and secretly.

However, Chuncao and Qiaolian are far behind. They are far behind Lanxiang in terms of sophistication, and they are both born in poverty.So Qin Keqing didn't arrange anything for them, and could only wait for Jia Ke's visit in the small courtyard every day, but their living expenses were all first-class, Qin Keqing didn't make things difficult for them in this respect.

But the two of them are not very lonely. As the people around Aunt Zhou, they run to Aunt Zhou whenever they have time. She was filial in front of her aunt, so Qin Keqing rewarded the two of them a lot.

As the Spring Festival was approaching, the Rongguo Mansion was busy again.This time it was for Jia Zhu to marry. Because Jia Ke had not been married at the border, Jia Zhu was delayed until this year to get married according to the principle of orderly seniority.And the object of marriage is still Li Gongcai in the Dream of the Red Chamber.

As far as this Li Gongcai is concerned, Jia Ke seems to be the number one strange woman in the Dream of the Red Chamber. The other twelve beauties in the Red Chamber are just heroes among the fans, but this Li Gongcai is really far-sighted and has a heart. There are ravines.Moreover, her character is chaste and indifferent, elegant and dignified, and she handles things wisely, but she is detached.If she is ten times stronger than Wang Xifeng in terms of endurance, if she is allowed to preside over the Rongguo Mansion, the Rongguo Mansion in the Dream of the Red Chamber will not be empty.

Jia Zhu's wedding this time seems to be even more grand than Jia Ke's. The etiquette process of both parties is completely in accordance with ancient etiquette, which is both solemn and grand. This is what Jia Zheng did when he regarded him as the heir of the Rongguo Mansion. Etiquette is the most solemn in the lineage of Rongguo Mansion.

Originally, Qin Keqing, as the sister-in-law, was going to help Jia Zhu's wedding.As a result, Mrs. Wang refused all of them. Qin Keqing saw Mrs. Wang's scruples, so she had to go back to the mansion to live her own life, and no longer interfered with Jia Zhu's marriage.

The wedding between Jia Zhu and Li Wan went very smoothly. On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Wan married into the Rongguo Mansion.

And the wedding on this day can be said to be full of guests, all kinds of horses and horses in front of the door have never stopped, and the entire Ningrong Street has even been blocked to death.During the wedding process, Jia Ke and Qin Keqing watched the whole process, there was no room for them to intervene, and Mrs. Wang would not let them intervene.

But at the banquet, Jia Ke and Qin Keqing became the protagonists.Jia Ke was surrounded by all kinds of people in the male guests' table like stars holding the moon, while the groom, Jia Zhu, was surrounded by only a few people.And these few people were just arranged by his elders by his side.

Everyone is discerning, and they were able to attend Jia Zhu's wedding because of Jia Ke's sake.He was just getting rich as the younger brother of the chief minister of the military aircraft. Everyone came to the wedding just to curry favor with Jia Ke.Otherwise, who knows who Jia Zhu is.

Although Jia Zhu also knew that these people came to his wedding for the sake of Jia Ke's face.But such a big gap still filled him with a sense of frustration.

Some people may be devastated when encountering this kind of thing, but Jia Zhu aroused his fighting spirit even more, making him feel like a fire was burning in his heart, and a voice in his heart told him that this is the real man, this is him future look.

But Qin Keqing was even more exaggerated, because Qin Keqing was so young, Madam Wang was supposed to arrange to sit at the same table as the juniors, but was stopped by Jia Mu, who arranged Qin Keqing at the Duke's Madam On the other hand, because Mother Jia believed that Qin Keqing, as Jia Ke's wife, was a natural first-rank wife, she must not belittle her status.

So Qin Keqing sat among a bunch of older women, none of these old ladies had the most precious status in their respective mansions, and there was no objection to Qin Keqing sitting next to them, after all, Qin Keqing's status was placed there.Moreover, Jia Ke is now in a high position and authority, one person is under one person and over ten thousand people, they have all gone through many years of fighting openly and secretly, fighting internally and externally.Seeing the situation very clearly, it's too late to curry favor with Qin Keqing, so how dare he show any disrespect.He just showed envious eyes towards Qin Keqing, but he couldn't hide it.When they were Qin Keqing's age, they were still low in front of their mother-in-law, and their husbands were also working hard for their future. How could it be so lucky for Mrs. Hou, who was a first-rank Qin Keqing at a young age? envy.

Because of Jia Ke's presence, this banquet was really lively, and all the people who came were the high officials of the court and the heads of the various prefectures. Everyone was flattering and flattering Jia Ke at the banquet, and the people from the Ningguo Mansion Jia Zhen, this time, kept walking beside Jia Ke.Like his little servant, he handled all kinds of things for him, trying to make up for the disrespect to Qin Keqing last time.This time it doesn't look like Jia Zhu is getting married, but it seems like Jia Ke is remarrying.

This time, the banquet lasted from noon until it was dark. After the banquet, Jia Zheng took Jia Ke and Jia Zhu to send everyone out of Rongguo Mansion.Next is Jia Zhu's bridal chamber wedding night, so we won't go into details.

After Jia Zhu got married, he didn't indulge in female sex, because Jia Ke's stimulation to him on the day of the wedding (he thought it) aroused his fighting spirit, so instead he worked harder. The next day, he returned to his study to study hard. Jia Zheng was even more delighted to find that he was working so hard. Not only did he not dissuade him, but he also ordered no one to disturb him.It's just that this has given Jia Zhu more motivation. He now believes that his own study is not only for himself and his family, but also for his father's hope.

Although Li Wan advised him to take care of his health many times, Jia Zhu had already been fascinated by the imperial examination, how could he listen to him?He still doesn't care about studying hard day and night, and he doesn't care about the Chinese New Year, and he is just newly married. He does this because he understands that his chances are running out. He died.How could the ambitious Jia Zhu tolerate this.

Jia Zhu was studying hard day and night, but Jia Ke was very leisurely, because the Chinese New Year was approaching, and the emperor had already sealed it.This year's affairs can be regarded as finished, unless there is an emergency military situation, otherwise it will not be busy again until after the fifteenth day.

And on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the team from Xuanfu Town finally came to give him rent, and with them came eight Dutongs from the Eight Banners of the Manchus. These eight Dutongs represented the Eight Banners of the Manchus. His master, Jia Ke, paid New Year's greetings, and sent a tribute along the way.

Chapter 271

As for the renters in Xuanfu Town, Jia Ke left these people to Qin Keqing to deal with, but he only met with the governors of the Eight Banners alone, and asked them about the development of the Eight Banners during this period.

In the flower hall of Marquis Wuyang Mansion, Jia Ke was sitting in the center, and all the eight flags came to visit Jia Ke first, and kowtowed to their master.It wasn't until Jia Ke asked them to get up that they dared to stand up and stand beside Jia Ke.

"If there is any difficulty in the family now, if you encounter any problems, just go to Huang Baifeng. He is my trusted general. You are also familiar with him. He will definitely help when the time comes." The development is still a little worrying, after all, they are competing with the Tatars for living space.

Jirigla was the first among the eight to join Jia Ke, so he unconsciously became the leader of the eight.At this time, when Jia Ke asked a question, it was natural for him to come out and answer.

"Master, the development of our clan is very good now, and the entire clan has almost 100 million people." Jirigla replied to Jia Ke respectfully.

"Then how do we deal with the threats from the Tatars? After I leave, do they still come to harass me frequently?" Jia Ke asked her worried question.

"Master, don't worry. Since you left, Tatars have often come to harass them, but these Tatars are very cowardly. We have defeated them in several confrontations with him." .

Jia Ke is a little puzzled now, these Manchus are all separated from the Tatars, why are they so powerful now?In a few blows the Tatars were routed.

"The Tatars were still very powerful when I left, why are they so vulnerable during this period of time." Jia Ke asked the doubts in his heart.

Zhenghuangqi Dutong Jiri Gela stood up again and replied: "If you want to return to the master, we Manchus now eat good food and drink well, all of us are strong and strong, plus excellent weapons, and there are no fewer people than them. It is just that there is some damage. , the master will also help to take care of the family. So everyone is moving forward bravely, and those Tatars are not only poorly equipped, but also weak in stature. Those Tatar leaders don’t regard them as human beings, so they don’t fight like us This way you can dare to kill more, where is our warrior's opponent."

After hearing what he said, Jia Ke understood a little bit, although he also practiced slavery among the Manchus, and these people were all his slaves in name.But they take good care of these people's lives, and because of Jia Ke's relationship, they can make unscrupulous transactions with Xuanfu Town in exchange for various items that they are in short supply.It seems that during this period of time, the physical fitness has been greatly improved.Coupled with the excellent equipment and fearlessness of death, he gained an absolute upper hand when fighting the Tatars.

However, Jia Ke didn't feel at ease because he knew that there was a hero Arslen Khan on the grassland. If this person was still there, there might be a battle between dragons and tigers on the grassland, and finally the ownership of the grassland could be decided.

"Don't take it lightly. I know Arslen Khan. He is my formidable enemy. Not only is he cunning and cunning, he is also quite ambitious. He has now unified the Tatars. Although I have defeated the attack on the capital this time. Some troops have been lost, but the main force is still there, so don't be careless. If you encounter an emergency, ask Huang Baifeng for support. Then with the strength of your two families, you will definitely be able to defeat Arslen Khan." Jia Ke told them again and again. command, because they are afraid that they will become proud.

Jirigla quickly replied: "Master, don't worry, we will obey your orders and keep in touch with Huangbaifeng, and we will never give the Tatars any chance."

After Jia Ke finished telling them, nothing happened, so she asked, "What did you bring me this time? Our tribe's life should have improved over the years, so don't be stingy."

Jirigla said embarrassingly: "In the past, our tribe relied on the hard work of the master to survive. Now we are different from before. There are endless cattle, sheep and horses. This time, we can't drive cattle and sheep to the master for the New Year, so we exchanged money for the master. I brought it. And Tang Kuai also entrusted us with this year’s profit to the master.”

"How much, it seems that I can have a good year this year." Jia Ke was very happy to have money in the account, after all, who doesn't like money.

Jiri Gela replied: "Our eight departments collected a total of 20 taels for the master, and Tang Kuai also brought 10 taels for the master."

Jia Ke heard that the Eight Manchu Tribes had collected a total of 20 taels, and thinking about the income of the Manchu Eight Tribes in the past few years, he also felt that this was almost the same amount.

As for Tang Kuai's tribute of 10 taels, it was slightly more than in previous years. It seems that his business this year is not bad.

"I'm very happy that the eight of you came this time, but all eight of you will come this time. In case something goes wrong with the tribe, who will preside over it, so in the future, you can only come to pay tribute every year, and you can only come four at most, leaving four in the room." Guards in the clan." Although Jia Ke was very happy with them, he was still worried about the safety of the Manchus.

The eight people knelt down and agreed in unison after hearing Jia Ke's order, Jia Ke was relieved.

Afterwards, Jia Ke arranged all eight of them to rest in another courtyard, and told them to go back quickly within a day or two, so as not to let the tribe make any mistakes. After all, all eight of them came this time, and no one in the Manchus took charge of the overall situation. .

After Jia Ke left, someone immediately brought them a table full of sumptuous banquets. The eight people sat on the banquet and started talking.

Sitting there, Jirigla said happily: "That time, I think our master is already the most powerful person in the Southern Dynasty."

Mandu Latu also echoed and said: "I think our master will definitely achieve greater achievements in the future. In the future, our master will not only be the king of the grassland, but also the king of the southern dynasty."

Meng Gen, the oldest of them, saw these people talking less and less decently, and hurriedly stopped them: "Drink more and talk less. Where is this place, there may be spies from the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. If you are so unscrupulous, what if Who can afford to cause trouble to the master."

As the wise man among the eight, Ji Ya also agreed: "We just need to go back to the tribe and take good care of the tribe for the master, and the other things will naturally be decided by the master."
