The Rebirth of the Red Chamber as Lian

Prince Zhongsu brought the young master of the Wang family of Zhongrong County, and set off a bloody storm in the Jiangnan officialdom. After killing thirty or forty middle-level and lower-level officials, he patted his butt and returned to the capital.While the Jiangnan officials and aristocratic families breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't help but rejoice that these two are still young after all, and are easily confused by appearances.As long as they don't catch key figures, Jiangnan will be what it will be in the future.

A few days after returning to the mansion, it was the day when Baoyu of the second room caught Zhou.Jia Zheng came to discuss with the old lady and Jia She, saying that the Lixiangyuan where they lived was too small, and he was afraid that they would not be able to deal with it, so he begged the old lady and his eldest brother and sister-in-law to find a way.As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Amnesty laughed, thinking of a way, but he felt that the Rongguo Mansion had become the Rongwang Mansion, but he didn't take advantage of it.

It has been almost a year since the two families separated, and Jia Zheng's life is not comfortable.In the past years, every three festivals and two birthdays, there are filial pieties in the local area. In addition, there are also many ice and charcoal respects every year, which are divided equally between the two families.And most of the time, the second house who occupies the main hall can even get the big boss. Although the second master of politics doesn't care about mundane affairs, he never lacks money to spend.

But since the separation, there has been no such good thing.The Rongguo Mansion has become the Rongwang Mansion, and its specifications have increased a lot, and the elder brother Jia She is the emperor's favorite minister who can't wait to wear it on his belt.Most people don't ask Jia Amnesty to do things, they just ask him not to say anything bad.But let alone sharing these filial piety equally, it has nothing to do with Jia Zheng's penny.

Although he is a Beijing official, he is just a small Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Industry, a small official from the fifth rank.Even if the local filial piety has his share, but it is only shared with colleagues in the yamen, how much money can he have?This made Jia Zheng deeply realize that without the signboard of Rongguo Mansion, he is simply an inconspicuous little person, and no one would come to his door to show his hospitality in vain.

What's more, the servants of Jia's family have never been strict with their mouths, and what happened when the family was separated that day was leaked out.Since the people in Beijing knew that Jia She and Jia Zheng were at odds, they naturally would not promote Jia Zheng to hinder Jia She's eyes.As long as local people came to Beijing to inquire, they would naturally know about it, and they would not bet on Jia Zheng.

Of course, it's not that Jia Zheng didn't think about pretending to be pitiful in order to win the support of public opinion.Unfortunately, the effect is not obvious.Every time he lamented the estrangement between his brothers, they gave him weird and strange looks.It was only later that he realized that those people thought that he was acting like a good boy when he got a cheap deal.Just like someone said, "The dove has occupied the magpie's nest for so many years, his brother just separated the family, and he was not kicked out, it is enough to be righteous..."

Jia Zheng felt resentful, he didn't think there was anything wrong with him, he just thought that these people saw Jia Amnesty promoted, rushed to flatter him, and blamed himself.However, since he has no support outside, he can only seek help at home.It’s cheap, and it’s good to have more if you can.

At the beginning, although he got the two-story family property of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng tasted what it was like to not get enough money in just one year.Moreover, the small and exquisite Rikain is not pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.It's too small, how can it accommodate their big family.This kind of yard is not as big as his previous study, let alone a banquet, it's just a place where he would feel ashamed to visit friends.

As long as he thought that in a few years, his family might be as down and out as those of the Shushu people in the back porch, relying on a little help from his direct line to survive, Jia Zheng's whole life would be bad.He is also the legitimate son and grandson of the old Duke, how could he end up like that? !Besides, if he hadn't been born later, this title, this family business, this achievement... how could he ever get Jia's amnesty!

From Imperial Rongguo Mansion to Imperial Rong Wang Mansion, the area of ​​Jia She's mansion has nearly doubled, and several spacious and elegant courtyards have been added.It was Jia Zheng's idea for a new courtyard, and he had already set his sights on a courtyard next to Rongxi Hall.The courtyard seemed to be three or four times the size of Lixiangyuan, only slightly smaller than Rongqing Hall, and it was magnificently built. He felt that it was more suitable for his status.

Jia Amnesty didn't care what his plans were, and just blocked them all back, "Since the second brother thinks the place is not open, why don't you move to your own house. I remember when we separated, you had a third-party house. I used to use that house I went to see it, the place is definitely not small, enough for you to invite many colleagues, relatives and friends. If there is not enough manpower, whoever you fancy in this mansion, just leave."

Shi Taijun frowned when he heard the words, why did the boss bring this up again.She grimaced unwillingly, and pretended to be displeased, and said to Jia Zheng, "It's just for a Zhou ceremony, so there's no need to move it around. This mansion is so big, isn't it enough for you?" . Baoyu has a history, so we can’t wrong him, it’s good to catch Zhou in the palace.”

"When the time comes, the female relatives will be here to entertain me. Men..." At this point, Shi Taijun looked at Jia She's face, saw his old god holding tea on the ground, and continued: "The male guests are up to you I will entertain She'er, and the banquet will be held in the newly built courtyard. As for the place where Zhou Zhou will be held, it will be in...Rongxi Hall, after all, Baoyu is also a decent grandson of our family."

After the old lady finished speaking, she and Jia Zheng's mother and son both looked at Jia Amnesty's face.These two people also understood that the one who counts in the family now has to be the pardoned prince.Even if others say what Shi Taijun said, as long as he doesn't nod, the matter will definitely not be done.Seeing them looking over, Jia Amnesty looked back with a smile, "Second brother, what are you doing looking at me like that? It's no good."

Regardless of the astonished and ugly expressions of the mother and son over there, the Grand Prince Xi continued: "Brother, I also have sons, whether it's Hu'er or Lian'er, neither of my two sons' ancestral rites have ever been held in Rongxi Hall. Naturally, your son is even less qualified. Besides, don't mention psychic gems to me, who knows that ghost thing is really evil." These words were addressed to Jia Zheng, but also to Shi Taijun.

"Mother's place, if I'm willing to lend it to you, you can use it naturally. Don't argue with me. You can't put it in Pear Fragrance Court, so let's put it in Zhu'er's yard. Second brother, we have separated after all. You don't want to move out, you want to honor the old lady nearby, I have nothing to say as an elder brother. But since the family is separated, we have two families, let's make a clear distinction, so as not to hurt anyone. "

When it came to Baoyu's first birthday, there were actually not many people who came to congratulate him. Most of them were relatives from the Rong Mansion, and they came here for Shi Taijun's sake.This is not the first birthday of the Zhongrong Wang family's child, and there are not so many people who come to beg for favors from the fifth-rank officials.The big scene full of guests and friends that Jia Zheng was looking forward to did not come. Instead, he received the "fatal blow" from his son Jia Baoyu, so Xuan was not pissed off.

He considers himself a scholar, and has abided by the rules and etiquette for half his life, so he never thought that he would give birth to a son who grabs rouge.When Jia Baoyu grabbed the hairpin from among the countless things in the world, Jia Zheng's face turned dark on the spot, and he scolded him as a "drunk and lustful person".From then on, Jia Zheng looked down on Jia Baoyu, feeling that this unlucky son was too embarrassing for him, and he was afraid that he would not be able to count on him in the future.

However, although Baoyu did not live up to expectations, there were also things that made Jia Zheng happy.When the Chinese New Year was approaching, Aunt Zhao found out that she was more than a month pregnant, which proved that he was growing old and strong.Ever since Mrs. Wang's usury happened, Jia Zheng never entered her room again, not even on the fifteenth day of the lunar new year to save face.And Aunt Zhao gave birth to the girl Tanchun, and she became more and more favored.

And after the new year, another big event happened that surprised the Second Master Zheng even more.The Tartars, who have survived another winter in the north, finally have the energy to go to the frontier again. This year, many cattle and sheep froze to death on the grasslands, and they all point to Daqing to hunt grass for a living.But Daqing's food, cattle and sheep are not for nothing, and there is no habit of supporting the enemy.In this way, there is only a group fight between the two sides.

Of course, the second political master, who was concerned about the country and the people, was not surprised because the Tartars committed crimes, but because Jia Lian had a sudden brainstorm and decided to go to the border with the army to fight.This is definitely good news, Dafang is Jia Lian's heir, in case something happens to him on the battlefield... Haha, everything that Dafang earns will be cheap for him.The throne is his, the property is his, everything will be his!

Before Jia Lian left the city, his good second uncle had imagined how many ways to die for him.It looked like an old face of Yiyi cherishing goodbye, and I didn't know how much I hoped that he would never come back.Looking at Jia Lian's back in military uniform, the Second Master Zheng couldn't help sighing in his heart: Good nephew, you can go at ease, everything in the house is watched by your second uncle and your cousin.

The 15-year-old Jia Lian went to war for the first time, and he was very concerned about everyone from the old emperor to the cheap father Jia She.Yu Wenhu babbled about it for a long time, wishing he could vacate the whole house for his brother-in-law to take him with him.And the ones who worry about gains and losses the most are Mr. Zhou and his wife.Jia Lian is their grandson and the last junior they can send to the battlefield.None of the previous ones came back, Lian'er...

On the contrary, it was Jia Xiaolian himself, who happily straddled his horse and raised his gun and headed straight to the frontier.Surrounded in such a big place as the capital all day long, he was already exhausted.Now it is a pastime that suits him very much to be able to go for a stroll outside the pass and show off the might of the Han people by the way.Of course he understands the dangers on the battlefield, but he can't give up the ideals of two lifetimes just because of the possible dangers.

Besides, he is really armed to the teeth now, if he still does not come back alive like this, then God will really kill him.He did not go here to officially join the army, but in the name of the personal soldiers of General Zhu He, who was in charge of the Northern Camp.He has a reputation as a martial arts master. If he joins the army now, he will not be able to participate in the next year's martial arts exam.

Since Jia Lian went to the border, the courtiers found that the King of Zhongrong had become diligent.In the past, he always stepped on to the court, but now he can be seen waiting outside the palace gate early; in the past, the emperor never asked to meet the saint, and now he often asks to see him even when he is resting; in the past, he never cared about the affairs of the court. Hey, now I keep my ears on the news of the border war all day long...

The old emperor was a little depressed. He used to play with Jia Enhou, and he always gave you a coke reaction.It's good now, no matter how you tease him, he will always look at you blankly, it's not funny.Knowing that he was worried about his son, the old emperor still felt displeased.As a subject, how can you treat the king so perfunctorily? ! !
