After the Gu of the Red Chamber

Aunt Bai suddenly went to the main courtyard to make trouble and almost hurt Jia Min. Someone reported it to Lin Ruhai early on. He was dimly lit by candlelight, although it reflected a beautiful woman like jade, Jia Min's face turned pale, and he rubbed his waist from time to time, obviously feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Ruhai's heart softened, he walked behind Jia Min, and said softly, "Why don't you let Aunt Bai stay at Zhuangzi from now on."

The implication is that Aunt Bai will be exiled to Zhuangzi forever.

Jia Min's heart warmed up, knowing that she didn't need to speak up, the husband had already thought of herself first, but thinking of Brother て, she sighed slightly, "Then really put her in Zhuangzi all the time, no matter how you say it belongs to Brother てWhat about my aunt?"

Aunt Bai can be dealt with in any way, but she is afraid of hitting a mouse and hurting the jade bottle, and she is afraid of hurting her brother.

Speaking of Brother [-], Lin Ruhai frowned slightly. Although he valued his son-in-law, Brother [-] was also his son, so it was impossible not to ignore Brother [-], not to mention Brother [-] was smart and well-behaved since he was a child, and Lin Ruhai loved him since childhood. He was willing to be wronged, and Lin Ruhai couldn't help sighing under the embarrassment.

But Jia Min's pregnancy is not easy. If Aunt Bai really acts like a monster, she is afraid of hurting the child. Even if Jia Min doesn't say anything, he also knows that at their age, it is an accident to have a child. No more, if he really hurt 01:30, then he would be so distressed.

Lin Ruhai pondered and said: "Until the little brother stops, let Aunt Bai stay on the Zhuangzi."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Min couldn't help being a little surprised. When she thought about it, Lin Ruhai would let Aunt Bai stay in the Zhuangzi until the younger brother was born, and it was almost the same. Never thought that Lin Ruhai would let Aunt Bai stay in the Zhuangzi until the younger brother was born. Before standing still.

If a little brother wants to stand still, he has to pass his first year of life, at least two or three years. In this way, Aunt Bai will have to stay in Zhuangzi for another two years, two years at least. It was enough time for Lin Ruhai to forget about Aunt Bai.

Even if it's because of Brother て, it is impossible for Lin Ruhai to ignore Aunt Bai, but this shows that Aunt Bai really doesn't have much weight in Lin Ruhai's heart.

Although he was happy in his heart, Jia Min still pretended to be worried: "Will this time be too long?"

Lin Ruhai said bluntly, "No."

He touched Jia Min's stomach and sighed: "It's not a big mistake to be careful, we only have Daiyu and this single seedling in your stomach, no matter how careful you should be."

Minmei only knew one thing, but didn't know the other. When he came back, Daiyu told him about Minmei's restless fetus. , can't help but make people think a little bit more, plus they are now in the capital, and many of the people employed in the mansion were re-hired after they came to Beijing.

Many people haven't figured out the details yet, so it's hard to guarantee that there might be some people who whispered something in Aunt Bai's ear, besides, they were vaguely involved in the matter of seizing the heir, and there was a trash in the mansion. As for the son of the crown prince, he should be more careful.

Jia Min smiled gently, full of joy, although she was a little frightened today, it was nothing compared to Aunt Bai being exiled to Zhuangzi.

But after the joy, Jia Min couldn't help asking about brother's marriage.

Just like what Daiyu said, Lin Ruhai is a real father, no matter what, it is impossible for him to marry his brother indiscriminately, even if it is impossible to say that he also has the intention of suppressing the concubine, but who is Lin Ruhai, the palm of his hand is flesh, and the back of his hand is also flesh, No matter what, it's impossible to mess around with the child's future. Besides, the child in her stomach hasn't been born yet, so it's too early to think about it.

Therefore, she believed that there must be a reason for Lin Ruhai to choose a businesswoman for Brother 〉, but she didn't know what the reason was?

No matter how you say it, the identity of this businesswoman is really too low.

As for why Aunt Bai came to trouble Jia Min this time, Lin Ruhai naturally knew a thing or two. He didn't know that Aunt Bai had the guts to eavesdrop on him, but if he really wanted to ask him, he dared to say , he definitely didn't mean to match his son with a merchant girl indiscriminately.

In fact, apart from her background as a merchant, Xue Baoqin is really unquestionable. In Lin Ruhai's eyes, she is several times better than her like-looking elder sister who was praised in the Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Ruhai smiled mysteriously, "Although the Xue family is a merchant right now, the Xue family will not be a merchant forever."

He paused and said: "Needless to say the Xue family's wealth, with the Xue family's wealth, they have the heart to fight hard in the court, and their achievements are actually faster than many children from poor families."

Don't look down on the people in the court who look down on businessmen. This money is the confidence of a person, and only when you have money is the confidence. It sounds nice to be a child from a poor family, but a person from a really poor family can be a high-ranking minister in the court. After all, it is a minority.

For one thing, they don’t have enough foundation, and their level of knowledge is not enough to support them to take another step forward; secondly, they don’t have enough capital. When a person is short of money, he can do a lot of things that he didn’t want to do for money, and even in the end... ... Gradually degenerate into a person who doesn't even know himself.

Therefore, it is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family, and most of the officials from a poor family will fall on these two points in the end.

In comparison, the sons of merchants have more advantages than many sons of poor families in these two points, but the imperial examinations are not allowed within three generations of merchants, and even fewer of them will be able to become officials.

But now the Xue family begged for grace from Emperor Pingkang through the auction, and the Xue family was able to become an official. According to him, the brothers of the Xue family really wanted to do something practical. He Chou couldn't have made some achievements in the officialdom. Besides, Xue Yuan, Xue Biao and his son did have some talents in Western affairs.

Right now, Bei Rong is no longer a serious problem for the Jin Dynasty. From now on, the focus of the court will definitely shift to Westerners, and Xue Yuan and Xue Biao already understand foreign languages. This natural advantage can be said to be inferior to all the officials in the court. Yes, according to him, the future of the two of them is very good, and it is not wrong for Brother ム to have such an in-law!

Besides, even if the development of Xue Biao and Xue Yuan is not as expected, since he has accepted Xue Biao as his disciple, at that time, as Brother Lei's younger brother, Xue Biao's future will still be poor, and Xue's family will be nothing but Sooner or later.

For what Lin Ruhai said, Jia Min listened in a cloud. Even if she is the daughter of a general, she still has a vague understanding of the harm to Westerners, but it does not prevent her from understanding the great future of the Xue family. It's worthy of brother て, but...

Jia Min said angrily, "Is this Westerner really as powerful as you say?"

Looking at Lin Ruhai's tone, it seems that Westerners are more troublesome than Beirong.

Lin Ruhai nodded solemnly, "It's much more troublesome than the Beirong people. Although there are not many Westerners who came to my Great Jin Dynasty, the cannons and muskets in their hands are really not a good match."

If he remembers correctly, in a few years, there will be a conflict between Western and local officials in Guangzhou in Guangdong and Guangxi. In the end, Jia Tanchun had to go to the West to get married.

In fact, Lin Ruhai only knew one thing, but not the other thing. The things brought by those Westerners were much more powerful than what he had imagined in his dreams. They were not just cannons and muskets, but the most powerful thing was big smoke!

That is the holy water that Zhen Baoyu used to control the Beirong army!

Wang Ziteng observed carefully for several days, and he became more and more sure that what the priests of Beirong used to boost the morale of Beirong was big smoke!

To be honest, the harm caused by opium smoke is far greater than that of the northern Rong barbarians.

In the previous dynasty, Western merchants tried to bring big cigarettes to the previous dynasty to sell. In the early years of the previous dynasty, because the court imposed heavy taxes, the life of ordinary people became more and more difficult. Even stuttering was not enough, so there is money to go. Buy big cigarettes, that big cigarettes are only slightly circulated among the rich, and not many people know about them.

Later, when the Emperor Xiandi rebelled and smoke spread everywhere, many Western businessmen fled back to the West in fright, and the incident of the opium gradually disappeared, so many people did not know how powerful the opium was.

But the Wang family worked in the Department of Shipbuilding in the previous dynasty. I don’t know how many opium cigarettes they have handled. They have also seen the fate of those who smoked opium. They also established family rules, absolutely prohibiting the descendants of the Wang family from contacting opium.

Also because the ancestors of the Wang family passed down the dangers of opium in detail, when he saw the reaction of those Beirong people after they cut off the holy water, Wang Ziteng immediately thought of opium.

Since this period of time, the Great Jin and the Bei Rong have fought from time to time. Because the Bei Rong is in full swing, the Jin army can't shrink back most of the time, but occasionally they fight a few times, and run away when they see the situation is wrong. Anyway, they rely on The walls of Liaoyang Mansion are strong and thick, coupled with the sufficient logistics provided by the Great Jin Dynasty, even if they are surrounded by Bei Rong for a year or so, they will not be afraid.

Of course, under Wang Ziteng's maneuvers, it is not so easy for the Beirong people to besiege Liaoyang Mansion. Even if there is a big smoke that will arouse the fierceness of the Beirong army, there are not many Jin army, but the most people. Under the crowd tactics, the Beirong people want to besiege Liaoyang Mansion, in the next life.

But if the people of Beirong really want to be around for a year or so...not to mention, Wang Ziteng is [-]% sure that Beirong will lose first, why?

There are not so many opium offerings!

The elites of the eight tribes of the Beibei Army are all out, even if there are few Beirong people, the total number of elite soldiers from the eight tribes is really not a minority. No matter who it is, no matter how open the supply is, it is impossible to supply it for a long time for many years.

As time goes on, the supply will definitely not be available, not to mention that once the opium smoke becomes addictive, the demand will only increase.

The northern soldiers they captured before only needed one bowl of holy water a day to be full of energy and not feel tired after a whole day of hard work, but recently, all the captured northern soldiers needed two bowls of holy water, and some even It takes three bowls of holy water to make it. Once the holy water is stopped...

Seeing those people begging Wang Ziteng to give them holy water without any backbone, let alone kneeling down and begging, even if Wang Ziteng told them to bark like a dog, they would be willing.

A lunatic who doesn't even want dignity, but only needs holy water, may be dismissed by people; two lunatics are just insane; When the soldiers of Beirong don't shed tears, it makes people feel a little scary.

Wang Er subconsciously couldn't help swallowing in fear. No matter who it is, seeing a group of people going crazy in front of him in an instant, no matter who it is, they will feel scared.

Wang Er asked: "Master! Are these people crazy?"

What kind of skills does the Beirong priest have?It can drive a group of people crazy!

If the master hadn't said that these people were crazy because of the holy water, he would have wondered if these Beirong people had some strange infectious disease.

Wang Ziteng sneered, "As expected of a big smoke!"

No wonder the ancestors of the Wang family issued a death order not to allow the descendants of the Wang family to touch opium. It was really... terrible.

He paused and said, "When the Beirong army attacks again, release these Beirong people."

"Let it go!?" Wang Eryi thought for a moment that he had misheard.

Seeing Wang Ziteng nodding again, Wang Er couldn't help but yelled strangely: "Master, how can we let go, we have spent a lot of energy in order to capture these people!"

On the battlefield, it is not difficult to kill a person, but it is really not easy to capture a person intact. In order to capture these Beirong prisoners, they have exhausted their strength.

"That's right!" Wang Ziteng narrowed his eyes slightly, "In the next big battle, let these people go."

Let these Beirong people see for themselves how powerful the so-called holy water is!
