Ben Hou is ill

Jia Daibao's branch was not popular in the Ningguo government, and even the entire Jia clan was almost invisible.Ever since Jia Daibao died of depression after breaking his leg, his only son, Jia Lian, asked himself to separate the family, and then left the mansion alone, never to be in Ningguo Duke's mansion again.

After that, Duke Ning's mansion fell into disrepair and was forced to move out of Jianwufang. The head of the family could not inherit the title of Duke of Ningguo, and he had nothing to do with Jia Lian.Jia Lian originally thought that this branch would be like this, and after a few more generations, it might not have anything to do with Duke Ning's government.

But Jia Lian had a son who was lucky.

Those who know a little bit of the inside story say that Jia Yan was lucky, lucky to be valued by Yan Hou, lucky to be promoted by Yan Hou, and lucky to be recommended to the eldest princess by Yan Hou.Otherwise, how could he, a down-and-out man with blood in Ningguo Duke's family, reach the sky in one step and become the Sima on the right side of Captain Fengche?How else to explain it other than luck?

This small Jia family is located in the southwest corner of Chang'an City. According to the unwritten rules of the east noble, the west humble, the south poor, and the north rich, the people living here are the most desolate and humble people in the entire Chang'an city. If determined by the place of residence.But obviously, Jia Lian, who is the direct descendant of Duke Ning's family, is not a lowly person.

Jia Daibao was the only direct descendant of the Ningguo government's generation, and was valued and loved by his father. When he was young, he was talented and intelligent, and he had a lot of energy in both learning and martial arts, so he was even more valued by his father.If there are no accidents in the future, he should be the one who can bring Ningguo government one step closer.Emperor Shizu once praised Jia Dai for retaining the shadow of Jing Huanhou, the champion of the former Han Dynasty, and he would become a great weapon in time.

Given time, but unfortunately, there is no such time.

Seven sons died in the Rongguo mansion, and Ningguo was so frightened that he almost lost his nerve. In order to save his son's life, he broke Jia Daibao's leg with his own hands, and also ruined Jia Daibao's future.

Jia Daibao's leg failed to heal well, and he could no longer ride a horse and carry a gun.

Ning Guogong was so remorseful that he couldn't afford to get sick.

The eldest son, Jia Daihua, watched with cold eyes. He watched his over-favorite father pass away with regret, watched his younger brother who had been high-spirited since he was a child break half of his spine, and saw the opportunity to take another step was blown away by the wind.

After that, Jia Daibao lived in the most remote corner of Ningguo Duke's mansion. He married a lowly wife, the daughter of a low-level official in Chang'an, and bore him a son.He named it Lian, Lian of Convergence.

If he knew how to restrain these two words when he was young, wouldn't there be such unexpected disasters?Will he not be hated by his elder brother?

he does not know.

He personally taught his son to read and practice martial arts until he was 16 years old before he passed away.

He left a suicide note to his son, asking him to leave the house with his family property to make a living by himself.

The Jia family started from his father's unscrupulousness in order to save his life, and the integrity of daring to shroud his body in horse leather is gone, and it will be harmful and useless to stay any longer.

Jia Lian obeyed his advice, moved out, and followed his mother's orders, marrying the daughter of a down-and-out scholar.

He followed his father's suicide note and lived cautiously. The neighbors around him only knew that he had studied some books and practiced martial arts for a few years, but he was incapable of writing martial arts. He made a living by writing letters for other people's families.He has a pair of sons and daughters, and his son Jia Yan is very promising. At the age of 15, he can serve on behalf of his father and guard the city gate. After a few years, he was transferred to Jianwufang to serve as a team leader.His daughter Jia Yuan was also very beautiful, because the family had a lot of surplus money and her elder brother was in the army, so people often came to propose marriage, but Jia Lian rejected them one by one, saying that she would keep her daughter for a few more years.

Jia Yan's success in one step surpassed everyone's expectations. It was not just matchmakers who came to Jia's house to ask for Jia Yuan's marriage. There were wealthy businessmen who came to ask for marriage directly with tens of thousands of dowry gifts. Yuan is the main wife of the first son.But Jia Lian still rejected them one by one.

It's not just Jia Yan who is valued by Marquis Yan. Lu Chenghou's nephew Chen Xiu, a boy named Ji Zheng who doesn't know where he came from, and many people in Jinyiwei are all valued by Marquis Yan. Jia Yan is so regarded by the people around him. Valued, naturally not only because he was valued by the Marquis of Yan.

It's because his surname is Jia, the Jia from Rongning and Ningxia government.

Just like what Yan Zhaoge asked when he first met Jia Yan, which Jia was his surname.

It doesn't matter if it's Jia from an ordinary family, or Jia from a collateral descendant of the Jia family.

However, Jia Yan is the descendant of Duke Ning's mansion, Jia Daibao is the only son of Duke Ning, Jia Lian is Jia Daibao's only son, and Jia Yan is Jia Lian's only son.In the entire Ningguo Duke's mansion, in terms of status, it is second to none.

Since the fall of the Rongning Second Mansion, there have been no more martial arts practitioners from the Jia family, and the title has been taken away by the emperor Shizu. Over ten years.Originally, there were still Jia's children thinking about this title, but after a long time, everyone forgot about it, and continued to dawdle in the name of the General's Mansion.

Until Jia Yan's name was exposed to the eyes of the world, even the Jia Daibao branch was exposed.

It is a direct lineage, a direct lineage that is qualified to inherit the title.

If Jia Yan's sister-in-law can be married, she will be the brother-in-law of the founding duke in the future, even if Jia Yan doesn't have the ability to be a prince, so valued by the Marquis of Yan, the future will not be so bad.

The Duke of Ningguo also sent someone to invite Jia Lian back to the mansion, and said that he would choose a good marriage for Jia Yuan, and choose a well-matched wife for Jia Yan, who is over 25 years old and has not yet married. What is the plan of this family? It is clear at a glance.Jia Lian still refused without any hesitation. If he wanted to rely on Ningguo Duke's mansion, he would not have asked to separate from the mansion more than [-] years ago.

The resident of Ningguo Gongfu in Rongning Second Mansion, Rongguo Gongfu has no control over the affairs of Ningguo Gongfu, but now Jia Zhen, the head of Ningguo Gongfu, is a junior. His father died early, and he alone The nephew had no choice but to help Jia Lian, and after three visits to the thatched hut, there was no good result, so he gradually lost his heart.The Rongguo Mansion will not stand up for this. Jia Yan will at most inherit the title of the Ningguo Mansion, but he has nothing to do with the Rongguo Mansion, and there is no point in provoking Jia Yan for the Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Yan is a down-to-earth person, probably because his father is down-to-earth, and his mother is the daughter of a scholar, so he is somewhat talented. Even though he grew up in the southwest of Chang'an, where there are many schools and schools, he has not grown crooked. The laborers who served in the army have been able to achieve the current Fengche Duwei Zuobu Sima.

There is a huge difference between the leader of the team and Sima Zuobu, the captain of Fengche, but in the eyes of his father Jia Lian, there is not much difference, and it can't stop his grandmother from marrying an ordinary wife for him.When he was leading the team, his grandmother arranged a marriage for him. The other party was the daughter of a top three Jinshi. Because she felt that she could not adapt to the official career, she became an official in the Guozi Academy. Appropriately, they will get married only after his daughter Jiji.When Jia Yan became the captain of Fengche, the Jinshi hurriedly sent the matchmaker to ask if he wanted to regret the marriage, but Jia Lian flatly refused, saying that it was the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker should not be violated.Cut off any thought of tampering with this marriage.

After Jia Yan got married, people always said that the Jinshi's daughter got a big deal, but Jia Yan felt that she got a big deal instead.Whether you have a lot of wealth or great power, it is better to marry someone who suits you.

And it just so happened that the newlywed wife was very suitable for him, and he got along well with his younger sister.

Grandmother and father's plans have always been well thought out, as if they have kept their sister from marrying.

It's just that she is over seventeen years old, and if she doesn't marry again, she might not find a good family.

Thinking of this, Jia Yan sighed slightly.

Seeing this, Chen Xiu asked, "What's the matter, I've been sighing for a while."

"You don't have a sister, you don't understand." Jia Yan shook her head and sighed: "When I think of my sister getting married, I feel very uncomfortable, but if she doesn't get married, I still feel very uncomfortable."

"I don't understand." Chen Xiu said.He looked at Jia Yan with complicated eyes, and then sighed softly.

He should have known, he should have had a sister.But now he only has his father on the household registration who is dead long ago, his father who is close at hand but cannot be recognized, his biological mother who is buried in the ground, and his younger sister who is unknown and whose life is unknown.

"My father is choosing a husband for your sister?"

Jia Yan nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "They are all crooked melons and jujubes. Seeing that Jia's family is rich, they try to rush up to get a share of the pie. How can this work? My daughter's family can't marry like I do. It is enough to marry someone with good family traditions and virtues. How he behaves, how his parents behave, what his uncles and brothers behave, and what he will do in the future, whether he will be an official or a teacher, whether he will be a craftsman or a merchant, all have to be understood How can people be at ease if they don’t know the basics? But how can there be so many people who know the basics?”

"You're right." Chen Xiu nodded.

Jia Yan sighed again and again, and for some reason, his eyes fell on Chen Xiu.

As far as he knew, Chen Xiu was born to a concubine. His parents died early and he was entrusted to the Yan family to be raised. After the Changan Chen family was established, he became the second wife of the Chang'an Chen family. It was Lu Chenghou, the second room was Chen Xiu, and the third room had only some soldiers of Lu Chenghou in the early years.Chen Xiu's only elders were Lu Chenghou and Empress Dowager Chen. Let's say Jihou was half of them. He had no wives, concubines, uncles, brothers and sisters. He didn't have many hobbies in his daily life. This person was surprisingly clean.

But looking at it from another angle, isn’t it just knowing the roots and knowing the bottom line?

Chen Xiu felt hairy all over his body when he saw him, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? If you have something to say, just say it, and I will definitely not refuse if I can help."

Jia Yan hesitated and said, "Your marriage..."

Chen Xiu understood what Jia Yan wanted to say in an instant, and immediately said, "I already have someone I like!"

Jia Yan was a little disappointed, the clean sister-in-law flew away, he was a little suspicious again, and asked: "I have never seen you have any relationship with anyone, but you often visit Yanhou at the Princess's mansion, Where did you know the person you like?"

Chen Xiu pursed his lips, suppressed his smile, and said calmly: "She is from Yanhou's side. I was entrusted by my father to Yan's house. We grew up together, so we naturally hit it off."

"The one next to Marquis Yan? Is it the one who brought you snacks? Call him Ji Xia?"

"Yes."

"Didn't you still say that you treated her as a girl?"

Chen Xiu glanced at him, and said: "I was just a white body before, so what's the use of pretending to be a child of the Chen family? The surname Chen in Langya County has eight thousand if not ten thousand. What should I marry? Naturally, I should let him go." It's better for her to marry someone, but now I have an official status, and I'm afraid I will have a title in a few years, we have known each other for so many years, who can take better care of her than me?"

"... Is this marrying a wife, or being reluctant to part with my sister?"

"...I don't understand." Chen Xiu sighed lightly, and said, "Whether it's a wife or a sister, I just don't feel at ease handing her over to other people. If she can stay by Yanhou's side forever, I will naturally I am very relieved, but if it is not relative, how can I keep it for a lifetime?"

"It's better to let Yan Hou accept it."

"If the eldest princess hears your words, I'm afraid the position of Sima on the right will have to be replaced."

"Ahem... Unintentional loss, unintentional loss."

The two were next to each other, and they were bothered together.

Chen Xiu suddenly said: "How old is your sister?"

"Sixteen and a half."

"Why don't I go and check on my uncle?"

Jia Yan frowned and said, "Lu Chenghou has two sons, which one do you want to visit?"

"Naturally it's my seventh brother." Chen Xiu glanced at him, and said, "Is the one in the fourth rank a good girl to marry?"

After the Chang'an Chen family was established, the elders and younger ones would naturally have to rearrange.The son that Lu Chenghou lost back then was the elder, Chen Xiuxing the second, Chen Du the fourth, Chen Hua the seventh, the third, the fifth, the sixth and all the children of the third family.

The absurd things that Chen Du did back then were all exposed somehow, and even how he lost his position as the son of the world was also known to the world.Because of this, anyone in the family who valued their daughter a little bit was unwilling to marry their daughter to her. Seeing that Chen Hua had reached the age of getting engaged, Chen Du didn't even say a word.

"Your seventh brother..." Jia Yan thought about it carefully, shook his head again, and said, "No, your seventh brother will definitely be a nobleman, and will be the lintel of Lu Chenghou's mansion in the future. There is no one in Lu Chenghou's mansion now. If my sister marries, she will be in charge of the house, and she will be too tired without her mother-in-law. Ordinary people are fine, but the uncle's house cannot be so casual, and Chen Du is another drag... ... no."

When Chen Xiu proposed it, he still thought that Chen Hua was an excellent candidate. Hearing Jia Yan's words, he couldn't help agreeing with Jia Yan's opinion.

The lintel of Lu Chenghou's mansion is a bit high. Compared with the current Jia family, if Jia Yan is Ning Guogong now, then it is indeed right for his sister to marry Chen Hua.

"If my seventh brother fails, who are my seventh brother's classmates? They are all good, except for one who just got married a while ago, and the other two should be unengaged."

Jia Yan suddenly became interested.

"One's surname is Gu, called Gu Lingyi. Their name is Gu Jiu. They should be in the family, but the family is not sure. The other is Jihou's third son, called Yan Ningkang, but this one is definitely not married. Yes." Chen Xiu said.

Jia Yan knew that Chen Xiu grew up in Yan's family, and before becoming an official, he worked for Yan Zhaoge. He could see how the Yan family's children were doing, and if he could really introduce him, he would be reliable.

"Third Master Yan... I'm afraid it is."

The identity of the descendants of the Yan family and the Yan Kingdom is a bit sensitive, especially when Marquis Ji has led the army again. Now he is the Minister of the Ministry of War. The military power is not there, but the power is still not small. The only advantage is that Yan Ningkang is a concubine, not the eldest son. Those who want to go out of the house will not be able to gain the honor of the Yan family, and if something happens to the Yan family in the future, Yan Zhaoge should not be involved.

Looking at it this way, the hatchback is equal, but the Yan family has another eldest son who is the son-in-law of the eldest princess.

Such a powerful relative, if something goes wrong in the future...

"I have to go back and ask my father. But what about Young Master Gu Jiu?"

Chen Xiu thought for a while, frowned slightly, and said: "I still don't know what his family does. His father seems to be a civil servant, but the officials surnamed Gu in the court are all low-ranking petty officials. Such a person came out. It was also rumored that he was a son of the Zhennan General's Mansion, but judging by his thin appearance, he didn't look like he was born in a general's family, it was very mysterious."

Jia Yan followed and shook his head, and said: "We can't afford to provoke such a family, that's all. Mr. Yan San is a talented man. When I go back and ask my father, please help me pass a message to Yanhou, asking Last time I asked Jihou’s opinion, if you are willing, I will ask my mother to send a post to Jihou’s residence.”

Chen Xiu complied.

After Jia Yan returned to the mansion, he told his father Jia Lian about this matter. After Jia Lian pondered for a while, he said, "You are thinking about it, but Mr. Chen Qi is an excellent candidate."

Jia Yan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"You only think that there is no mistress in Lu Chenghou's mansion, and it is the uncle's mansion, so people will always be staring at her. Marrying Yuan Yuan to Lu Chenghou's mansion will put a lot of pressure on her. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it. But you never thought about it, because it's this Only Yuan Yuan can sustain the uncle’s mansion. Now that the emperor is young, he has been relying on his relatives, especially his own mother’s family, for more than ten years. The Chen family in Chang'an is weak, but they value it very much, if they hold it up to the sky, what can go wrong? How many storms can they cause?"

Jia Yan asked: "But for the sake of the emperor, the empress dowager can even seize the position of the only biological son of Lu Chenghou. Will she not abolish the Chen family for the sake of the emperor?"

"The son of Lu Chenghou, no matter how sure the position of the son is, he is not the son of the son. The one who was abolished by her is just an ordinary Chen family child. Is the blood relationship important, the incense is important, or the rise and fall of the family? You only see the queen mother even herself. Even his natal family dared to attack, have you ever thought about what it will be like if Chen Du is indulged and left alone, and when he makes bigger troubles and even becomes a prince?" Jia Lian asked back: "If she doesn't Don't ask, always indulge, that really killed the whole family of Chen, and also killed herself.

"The Yan Ningkang you chose is not as good as Mr. Chen Qi."

Jia Yan was stunned, and asked, "It's impossible for Chen Xiu to deceive me about this kind of thing."

"It's not that he lied to you." Jia Lian said, "It's Young Master Yan, I'm afraid he has other hobbies. He and Young Master Gu are getting too close."

When Jia Yan was young, he had seen all three teachings and nine streams. Hearing this, he immediately realized what his father was talking about, and his face turned green immediately.

"Then, father, I'll go..."

"That's all. We asked all the questions. We asked first. We have to wait for the Yan family to deliver the letter before we can refuse."

Jia Yan gritted her teeth and answered, hoping that Yan Ningkang would definitely refuse.

Yan Ningkang naturally wanted to refuse.

After thinking about it for half a month at home, he decided to accept Gu Lingyi's words.

That day he hesitated to answer, but seeing Gu Lingyi crying, he couldn't bear to refuse.After being in a dilemma for a long time, he finally came up with a compromise, first using his family as an excuse to stabilize Gu Lingyi, and then let him think about it.

He didn't want to drag Gu Lingyi, nor did he think Gu Lingyi was bad, he was willing to marry Gu Lingyi.He and Gu Lingyi have been together for several years, and they are no different from ordinary cousins. They are very compatible in both temperament and preferences.It's just that Gu Lingyi is so much smarter than him, and looks so good-looking, why did you choose him?

He is willing to marry Gu Lingyi, but he can't marry Gu Lingyi in a daze, he has to figure it out.

Gu Lingyi didn't have much hope, she didn't even dare to write the story of her classmate friend becoming her fiancée in the script.Seeing this, she just nodded, and went home to wait for Yan Ningkang's answer that she didn't expect.

Yan Ningkang thought for a few days and still couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure out himself, and he couldn't figure out Gu Lingyi either.

But he can't figure it out, there are always people who can figure it out, his eldest brother Yan Zhaoge and the eldest princess are in love, and they handle both official and private affairs extremely properly, and it seems like they can easily handle this kind of thing.

Yan Ningkang went to the door of the Princess's Mansion anxiously, and it happened that the Ji Jun he had known since childhood - who should be called Chen Xiu now, was also here.

"Second Brother Chen." He called out.

Chen Xiuxiu and Yan Zhaoge were talking about something, and when they saw Yan Ningkang arrived, they looked a bit surprised.

Yan Zhaoge smiled and said: "It just so happened that Yongchang came to see me for something, and the matter you came to me to talk about was also related to Yongchang. Rather than just talking to me, it would be best to ask Yongchang for his opinion. This is the most appropriate way." Yes. You have to ask his opinion on this matter, it doesn’t count whether you ask me or my father.”

Yan Ningkang's eyes fell on Chen Xiu's face. .

Chen Xiu coughed a few times, and said: "Yongchang, you also know that I am working under Captain Fengche. I have a colleague named Jia, who is called Jia Yan, who is a direct descendant of Ningguo's mansion. , but he is very promising. He is not the kind of person who eats and waits to die. He probably has the hope of becoming a noble in the future. He is now the Sima of the right department. Years. He has a younger sister who is about the same age as you, and it's time to leave the cabinet..."

Yan Ningkang's eyes widened.

"I thought you'd also reached the age to be engaged, so I came to ask about it."

For some reason, Yan Ningkang's feet suddenly softened, and he knelt on the ground with a plop. He had been thinking about Gu Lingyi in his heart, and at this moment his brain was in a daze, and he blurted out a sentence without thinking.

"Brother, I have fallen in love with Gu Jiu."

The author has something to say: I forgot to mention it before, it has nothing to do with the Dream of Red Mansions, I just used the name casually.
