[Red Mansion] The Grand Master's Counterattack Road

When Mother Jia brought the members of the Xue family and Wang Xifeng to the palace, Jia Amnesty came out to meet them this time.

"Where's Lian'er? Come earlier, Brother Feng likes Lian'er very much and has talked about it several times, so the old man and her aunt brought her here to play with Lian'er." Jia Mu looked at Wang Xifeng with a smile, and Wang Xifeng also pretended Tsukuru was a little shy, but she still stared at Jia She, expressing her desire to play with Jia Lian very much.

"I went to study in the study, it will take some time before I can come back," Jia She said.

"That's not a coincidence." Jia's mother was a little disappointed, and Wang Xifeng's eyes were also a little disappointed, but they also understood that Jia She is now a clan, and the children of the clan are all going to study in the study. It was probably a coincidence last time, and Jia Lianxiu Bath at home.

Jia Amnesty smiled and said, "You guys came to see me for something?"

Mother Jia returned to her normal state, and said, "That's how it is. This is Xue Hong, the current head of the Xue family, who is related to our Jia family. Earlier, your great-grandfather joined the army, and their Xue family also sponsored many less money".

Jia Amnesty smiled and said, "This king knows this one. In the early years, this king took part in the imperial examination in Jinling, and had a few encounters with this one."

"My lord has a good memory." Xue Hong hurriedly stood up and bowed to Jia Amnesty.

"Since it's a relative, don't be so polite, sit down." Jia She took a sip of tea, but he clearly remembered that when he went to Jinling to prepare for the exam, Xue's father and son didn't take him seriously. Time shifts, I am now the prince, Jia Zhengjing is just a small chief under him in the Ministry of Industry, and the Xue family, since the death of Ziwei Sheren's Xue Gong, Xue Hong has not received his father's title, now It's just a small imperial businessman. He was able to do the salt business earlier. Although his status was not high, he was rich. The identity of the imperial merchant is there, otherwise the Xue family still doesn't know how it will be reduced to.

"Thank you, my lord." Xue Hong sat down and looked at Jia She's indifferent appearance, feeling a little regretful.

Jia Amnesty waved his hand, expressing that you are welcome, and then drank tea quietly, waiting for this servant to express his thoughts. He still learned from Tu Zhen. In this case, no matter what, speak first. I lost my initiative.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the whole place was deadlocked, Mother Jia hurriedly came out to smooth things over, saying: "My lord, it's like this, we came here this time to ask for something."

"Oh? What can I do for you? If it's about Jia Cunzhou's promotion, then don't mention it. First of all, he didn't make any contribution in the Ministry of Industry. If you say that no fault is credit, he really has some faults, and His relationship with the officials of the Ministry of Industry is not good, and the assessment of officials is a matter for the Ministry of Officials, so there is nothing I can do about it." Jia Amnesty also obeyed Jia Zheng. Although he wanted to build a good relationship with his colleagues, his simple and rude methods Coupled with his high-ranking personality, he can't blame the talent.

Jia's mother was embarrassed. She had also heard about Jia Zheng's affairs.In fact, in the first life, she also knew about Jia Cunzhou's officialdom and offending others, but in the first life, in order to fight Jia Amnesty, she kept pretending not to see and not to hear, and let her servants pass it on, Jia Zheng Being an official in the court worked hard, but in the end, Jia Zheng's end was much worse than he didn't know.

"It's not about this, it's about the Xue family. Business is not doing well now. Although the Xue family has a reputation as an imperial merchant, life is not as good as before. I want you to think of a way to help the Xue family. "Jia Mu said.

"Yes, please help me, my lord," Xue Hong hurriedly followed Jia's mother's words.

"What can I help you with? I don't know how to do business," Jia She said after taking a sip of tea.

"Aren't you in charge of the Haifan Academy? You are in charge of all the sea trade matters," Xue Hong said.

"Although this king is in charge of the Haifan Academy, the income of the Haifan Academy's six major departments will go to the Holy Majesty's private treasury. Besides, there is no sea ban in this dynasty. You can set up your own private boats to go to sea. "Jia Amnesty put down his teacup and said.

Xue Hong smiled wryly, and said: "How can I not understand this, it is only because of understanding that we know that it will not work. In foreign countries, our merchant ships are very famous. It is said that there are pirates on the sea who specialize in robbing our merchant ships. Protection, but we merchant ships, the escorts we hire are not the opponents of the pirates at all. Whenever we go to sea, the biggest loss is not the wind and waves at sea, but the pirates. Merchant ships that go out to sea rarely come back.”

"Then do you need the protection of the Haifan Academy? The navy of the Haifan Academy is now under the control of the Shijia brothers. You can go to them, why come to ask the king?" Jia Amnesty naturally understood the situation. Things are very popular in the West, if those pirates snatch a shipment of goods from the Qing Dynasty, then they can dare nothing and live a rich life.

Xue Hong smiled wryly, who are the Shi family brothers? Private boats must be approved by Jia Amnesty, otherwise he has no right to do so.

Xue Hong told Jia Amnesty what the historian had said, and asked Jia Amnesty for help again.

Jia Amnesty thought for a while, and said: "Since you are willing to tell the truth, I will give you an inside news, that is, the emperor told me earlier that a group of imperial merchants will be recruited to join the Haifan Academy. There are also some good things, some of which our imperial court cannot get officially, but it is different for you imperial merchants."

"Really?" Xue Hong was overjoyed.

"It's already under planning, but the number of places won't be many. There will definitely be a lot of businessmen competing for the places. You have to plan early," Jia She said.

"My lord, aren't you responsible for this?" Wang, who had been putting on murals, said.

Jia Amnesty cast a glance at Wang, and said, "It is true that this king is fully responsible. What's the matter? What's the problem?".

"Then..." Wang Shi was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Xue Hong.

"The prince will have to work hard. He will be very busy to screen so many imperial merchants." Xue Hong's heart twitched, and he hurried ahead of Wang Shi, stopping her words.

"It's nothing, this prince is a prince, and he should share his worries with the emperor." After Jia She finished speaking, he picked up the teacup.

Seeing this, Xue Hong immediately understood, gave Jia Mu a look, and said goodbye.

"My lord, do I need another cup of tea for you?" Xiao Yi said.

"No need, I didn't expect that the head of the Xue family is not bad, but the family affairs are a little confused. It is said that his son is a devil in the world, but he has never disciplined him," Jia Amnesty said with emotion.

"Not everyone can compare to you and Shizi." Xiaoyi helped Jia She to stand up.

"That's right, let's go back to the study. I have to think about how to find the emperor to join the Haifan Academy. I have a headache."

"Brother-in-law, why are you in the palace, why don't you just let the prince add the Xue family into it?" Wang was puzzled.

"No, what kind of person is the prince, he is responsible for this matter, he can naturally join our Xue family, but he just asked us to prepare, that is, this competition must be fair and just, at least on the surface. It must be like this, but fortunately, the prince is still thinking about the old love and is willing to reveal the news. This time, he can make good preparations and must get a quota." Xue Hong looked very firm.

"This prince is also, they are all relatives, and they still come to this way." Wang was dissatisfied.

Mother Jia closed her eyes at the side. Hearing what Wang said, she opened her eyes and then closed them again.

Xue Hong smiled awkwardly, and said: "Eldest sister doesn't know something, the prince is the emperor's confidant, the emperor's thoughts can definitely be guessed by the prince, and the prince is not a person who does not miss old love, probably, this time is the emperor's intention , it's getting late, and I have to prepare, after all, this opportunity is rare."

"You go." Wang nodded.

"Okay" Xue Hong hurriedly left, he still had a lot of things to prepare.

After Xue Hong left, Mother Jia opened her eyes and said, "Mrs. Wang, although the Jia family is under your control now, don't get too complacent. You can criticize being loyal to the prince."

Wang's speech was stagnant, but her brother was about to go to Beijing, so she would not need to rely on Prince Zhongxin, besides, for so many years, she didn't see that Prince Zhongxin's mansion was of any help to Jia's family, and even took Jia Zhu away .

"Your brother is indeed going back to Beijing to resume his post soon, but your brother is comparable to Prince Zhongxin's weight in the heart of the Holy One. Prince Zhongxin was the prince's companion when he was a child, and he had a close friendship with the Holy One. Maybe Prince Zhongxin said a word, your brother Prince Teng will not be able to return to Beijing to resume his job, believe it or not," Mother Jia pointed out.

"My daughter-in-law is wrong, she shouldn't say that she is loyal to the prince," Wang obediently admitted her mistake.

"Forget it, Baoyu is about to wake up, go and take care of him," said Jia Mu, rubbing her forehead.

"Yes" Wang Shi nodded, and was about to get up and leave.

"Wait a minute" Jia's mother stopped Wang and asked, "Is there a letter from Zhu'er? What did the letter say? He is used to reporting good news but not bad news. He is studying thousands of miles away, and he doesn't know how he is doing."

"It's over this time, and I haven't received the letter yet." Wang shook her head, and she was also a little worried.

"That's all, you go." Jia Mu waved her hand, remembering what Jia Min said to her after giving birth to Baoyu, and after washing three times, she was born with jade in her mouth. Such a great blessing, even the royal family did not have such a big blessing. I don’t know about the matter, but I spread it carelessly because I felt that my family’s death was not fast enough. Fortunately, Prince Zhongxin explained that it was because Wang and his aunt were jealous, so they made it out on purpose. Otherwise, Baoyu can now Whether it can be kept is still a question.

Every time Mother Jia thought of Jia Min's words, she felt panicked. Originally, she planned to hold Jia Baoyu by her side to raise her, but after thinking about it, she didn't need to. Besides, with such a thing, Baoyu's future has basically come to an end. If it is ruined, the royal family will not allow a person with an auspicious reputation to enter the court, which is not good for the royal family.

Jia's mother sighed, Baoyu was useless, and the Jia family's hope was only on Jia Zhu.

In this life, Jia Baoyu was not raised in front of Jiamu, but by Mrs. Wang herself. Mrs. Jia prayed for Jia Zhu's safety in front of the Buddha, while Mrs. Wang tried to make progress in a different way.
