Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss

It is true that Jia Min knew that it would not be easy for her to go back to her natal home once, as she had thought before. After marrying her husband, the Rongguo Mansion was no longer her home from the moment she married Lin Ruhai.

So every time she comes to Rongguo Mansion, she cherishes the time she spends with her mother. As for the brothers and sisters-in-law, I'm sorry that she doesn't have that much affection, and she just nods to them as acquaintances.

When she was not married before, she was not close to her eldest brother and second brother, let alone the situation that she hadn't seen each other for many years, so every time she came back, she was just in Jiamu's yard, even if she wanted to stay overnight, she was with her mother one place.

Jiang Yan knew that Jia Min must miss Jia Mu very much, and they could meet at any time after returning home, and they were not in a hurry, so he took her pulse and saw that she was in good health during this time, and then set off for Jinling.

In the past, Jiang Yan would often call Jia Min's pulse. Jia Min only regarded it as a show off after returning to a skill with Jiang Yan. He had no idea that every time Jiang Yan gave her a pulse over the years, he was able to understand her physical condition very well. ten.

Jia Min took it for granted, but Jia's mother looked fresh, "Min'er, could it be that you are not feeling well? Why is your third brother taking your pulse?"

"I'm not feeling sick, mother, don't worry, the third brother is just taking his pulse casually." Jia Min said with a smile.

Mother Jia saw that her complexion was rosy, she looked good, and she didn't look like she was sick. The heart that had just been raised was relieved, "You came today, why didn't you bring Yu'er, I still Never seen her."

"Yu'er struggled a bit along the way and felt a little uncomfortable. I didn't bring her here today. When she feels better someday, I'll bring her here to pay her respects to her mother." lie.

Daiyu was in good health all the way to the capital. It was Lin Jin who told her last night not to let her sister go to Rongguo Mansion, and told her the whole story of his palm injury, and what he saw and heard during the time in Rongguo Mansion. , and what Jiang Yan told him.

Jia Min knew that there were many people in Rongguo Mansion, and when there were more people, there would be more thoughts, which would inevitably lead to confusion, but she didn't expect her son to say those words. In Lin Jin's mouth, Rongguo Mansion seemed to have become a dying old man. The deadly beast.

He obviously doesn't have much ability anymore, but he still relies on his fierceness to do his best just like the old man did, and the end result of doing so is that he will kill himself if he does many injustices, and the final result is to be swallowed by other fierce beasts or be killed by other fierce beasts. Hunter hunted.

Jia Min wanted to remind her mother a few words, but she didn't know where to start. She could only persuade her not to pamper her children too much, and prayed in her heart that the next generation would grow up quickly so that Rongguo Mansion would not be destroyed. Devour and destroy.

As a married woman, there is only so much she can do.

And Mother Jia is not stupid at all, especially after she just experienced the separation of the school, she knows that Rongguo Mansion is not as glorious as it used to be, and now she can understand what Jia Min said.

"It just so happens that you are here today, and I have something to tell you." Mother Jia said thoughtfully.

"what's up?"

"The Wang family of Jinling, Wang Zisheng has a daughter, Sister Feng, you have always lived in the Jiangnan generation, have you heard of it?" Jia Mu asked.

Jia Min knew that Sister Feng in Jia's mother's mouth, whose scientific name was Wang Xifeng, was the daughter of Prince Teng of Wang's family. This year, she was 13 years old. It seemed that her mother wanted to marry her when she asked this question, and the only one who was similar to her age was her elder brother. Jia Lian is gone.

"I've heard of some, but I haven't had much contact with her." She is the mistress of the Lin family, and the Lin family has little contact with the Wang family. I haven't met or contacted the specific person.

She had only heard about it, and it was because she was planning a wedding for her son Lin Jin at that time, and she was asking about girls of the right age in various families. Someone told her about Wang Xifeng, but Wang Xifeng was too young for her consideration. within range.

Jia Min thought back, when she heard Jia Mu's suggestion about Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, they were about the same age, so it might as well decide on the marriage at this time, and get married in a few years.

It seems that Jia's mother wants to let Jia's family and Wang's family marry, so as to achieve the effect of joint foreign affairs.

Jia Min sighed silently in her heart, the Jia family is already an old beast, is the Wang family okay?I heard that Wang Zisheng is ignorant, and there is a son in the family as well. Even if this marriage is completed, it is just the unanimity of the two old beasts. Does it make sense?

Even though he thought so, Jia Min had to admit that the marriage between Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng seemed to be the best match. When Jiang Yan got married more than ten years ago, it was his father Jia Daishan who begged Mr. Fu himself in spite of his illness. Marry your granddaughter.

It took several years for her to realize that at that time, no scholarly family was willing to marry a girl to Rongguo Mansion. No matter if it was those who were afraid of power or those who did not want to cling to power, the real scholarly family would not do this anyway. .

But now more than ten years have passed, the Rongguo Mansion is not as good as before, and those who were unwilling to marry their daughters in the past still will not.

Among the girls in the aristocratic family, except for those who are not suitable for age, except for those who have already engaged, Wang Xifeng is the only girl left.

Of course, this is Jia Min's idea of ​​standing in the position of the mistress of the Lin family. In the hearts of ordinary people, the position of Rongguo Mansion is still very high. Not to mention married, they are willing to come in to be a maid and servant.

In the eyes of other large animals, the old ferocious beast is already a thing of the past, but among pheasants and hares, it is still very intimidating. At least its size is enough to bluff people.

In the woods, after all, pheasants and hares accounted for the majority, and the proportion of large wild animals was not large.

Jiang Yan didn't know that after he left, Jia Min had compared the Rongguo Mansion to an old and ferocious beast, and she didn't know that she had simulated a whole set of survival rules in the "animal world" in her heart.

If you know it, you will definitely shout out the image. The Jia family is a beast that used to be ferocious and now only relies on the outside to bluff people, but not much strength inside; and a dead camel is bigger than a horse, and even if the beast dies, its body is bigger than a pheasant and a hare. of.

The royal family is like hunters, they have long evolved into high-level animals, a bow and arrow can decide the death of animals in the forest at any time; and those who are eyeing the Rongguo Mansion are the new aristocratic families that will rise later.

The new replaces the old, the young replaces the old, and the young will eventually grow old.

Even hunters who control the life and death of forest animals will one day grow old, and younger hunters will approach the forest and shoot the beasts they want.

This is the real 'chaos, I'll come on stage after you sing'.

No one will stay in the long flow of history, everyone is just drifting with the flow, the only difference is that they are in different positions.

When Jiang Yan returned to Jinling, Fu Ling had already dealt with the backlog of matters during this period. I have to say that Fu Ling is an excellent manager, and he has managed the business in an orderly manner over the years.

And it's not because she is from the 21st century. You must know that the term "profiteer" has been around for a long time. There is no business without cheating. They all have the same brain. The ancients were also very smart to a certain extent.

"Daddy hug."

As soon as Jiang Yan came back, Tanchun couldn't wait to rush over, Jiang Yan hugged her, "What fun things have you been playing with lately?"

"Ride a pony." Tanchun said with his arms around Jiang Yan's neck.

Because Jiang Yan and Fu Ling have always paid attention to educational education for her, they did not ask her to learn things from books early like Daiyu, but wanted to let her acquire knowledge through play.

For this reason, the two of them have been collecting various educational toys since Tanchun was a child. Now they are five years old, and they don’t feel much worse than Daiyu when they are with Daiyu. Children mainly want to play and grow up with reading and writing. After that, I will write for a lifetime.

Of course, this is not to say that Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's way of educating their children is not good, but that they have different ways of educating different children. Daiyu is quiet and lively, and each develops her own temperament.

The boat that went to sea this year brought back a few pony horses, only a little over one meter in height, and Fu Ling left one for Tanchun so that she could learn to ride a horse from an early age and exercise her courage.

This time when I came back to Tanchun, I started riding a horse. Although there were more than a dozen people following her back and forth, some leading the horse and some protecting her, Tanchun still felt the joy that she had never experienced before.

Seeing Jiang Yan's question, he even dragged him to Ma Peng, and personally took the hay to feed the snow-white pony.

"Isn't it beautiful? I called it Xiaobai, but mother said 'Xiaobai' is not a good name, what do you think it should be called, Daddy?"

Tanchun opened her innocent eyes and asked, according to her current knowledge reserves, she really couldn't come up with such an elegant and pleasant name, "You can call it whatever you like, and Xiaobai is quite suitable for it. It’s just a name, just come by whatever you say.”

Tanchun nodded seriously, and stretched out his hand to stroke the fur on the horse's back, "Then it's called Xiaobai, my Xiaobai, who is different from other Xiaobai, just like I am my father and mother's Tanchun, who is different from other Xiaobai." Tanchun is different."

Tanchun talked on her own, and really asked her to come up with a set of theories, but considering that she is so young, she probably can't understand this kind of "uniqueness" problem.

While Jiang Yan was at home with his daughter, Fu Ling got a message in the shop that because of the death of Master Xue's family, the imperial court decided to choose the imperial merchants to supply among other merchants.

For most merchants, this is good news, not to mention that after becoming an emperor, their status surpassed other merchants, and in terms of money, if they do business with the royal family, money must be indispensable.

Moreover, when the new emperor ascends the throne in the first lunar month of next year, more things need to be prepared. The high demand means that there will be a steady stream of money in his pockets. Whether it is fame or fortune, the merchants of the Jiangnan generation will try their best to grab it. Royal business.

Jiang Yan knew that since Sheng Ling had set up a game before, even if their family couldn't win all of them, they would definitely get a piece of the pie.

In fact, it was the same, and when the imperial edict came down, it was even richer than Jiang Yan imagined, and what came with the imperial edict was a letter from Sheng Ling.

It's not a letter of private conspiracy, but a "letter of complaints", complaining about the Holy Majesty's refusal to delegate power, and that many families must be separated in the matter of the Jiangnan imperial merchants, and only Jiang Yan's family was used without listening to his opinions.

Looking at the letter, Fu Ling didn't say anything excessive, but he expressed his dissatisfaction with the Holy Majesty and his apology to Jiang Yan, and his eyebrows were already knit together.

"Is the prince sick? He sent you such a letter? How does he want you to answer? He clearly told the emperor his dissatisfaction and his relationship with you. What does he want to do?"

In private, Fu Ling didn't have so many taboos, and expressed his views on the letter openly.

She has never had any contact with the royal family, and her knowledge of the royal family's fight for the heir apparent is limited to various movies and TV dramas in her previous life. In some high-quality plot dramas, the people in them all have online IQs.

Isn't that the case in reality?Is it really like those brainless dramas?That would be too childish.

"This letter was sent by the person who delivered the decree 'on the way'. Do you think that the current emperor will not know what is in it? But this letter is still in my hands. What is the problem?"

"The prince did it on purpose?" He deliberately let the emperor read this letter, knowing that the prince is dissatisfied with him, knowing that Jiang Yan is involved with the prince, "Could it be that he wants to use the emperor's hand to get rid of you?"

"You think too much. On the birthday of the sage, the things we sent to the capital are enough to show that I am involved with the prince, and it is because we are involved with the prince that we are safer."

The Holy Majesty has been the emperor for decades, lived a life of one-sidedness for decades, ruled the world for decades, standing tall allows him to see farther and see things more thoroughly. After a long time, people will inevitably start to become conceited .

Now that they have been in touch with each other from the birthday incident, now Sheng Ling has sent him another letter like this, all of which are within his control, and if it comes to the 'crime of deceiving the emperor', who dares to say that there is no such thing as going to the harem? Lied to him for his own benefit?

Sheng Ling's current personality setting is: to make friends with Jiang Yan, and to seek benefits for his supporters when he ascends the throne. The imperial merchants are the benefits that Sheng Ling wants to give Jiang Yan.

In the eyes of ordinary merchants, the job of an imperial merchant is an excellent opportunity, but in the eyes of the royal family, whoever is an imperial merchant is not doing it?They all go out and pay to get things back, and this dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years, and it is unbelievable that anyone would dare to openly deceive the royal family.

Therefore, in the eyes of the royal family, the choice of the emperor's merchants is really not a big deal, and the reason why the emperor did not fulfill the prince's wish was because he did not want to admit that he was old and was nostalgic for the rights in his hands. Realized that even if he became the emperor, there would still be an overlord above him.

The emperor can make a decision, but he can never refute the decision of the Supreme Emperor. Father and son, monarch and minister, the rules and regulations cannot be messed up.

Listening to Jiang Yan's explanation, Fu Ling suddenly regretted asking. Such complicated things are not suitable for her. She should just live in a corner quietly and be her small businessman.

Fold the letter on the table according to the original crease, put it in the envelope, and hand it to Jiang Yan with both hands, "I will never ask these things again in the future, and don't tell me, my little life still wants to I want it."

The more you know, the more dangerous you are. Fu Ling now fully understands the profound meaning of this sentence. In the past, he thought in the mall that the more he knew, the more he would be able to win a hundred battles.

But the shopping mall is not the same as the imperial court at all. The emperor changes and the power is handed over. If she is not careful, she will die without a place to bury her. She doesn't know anything. There is nothing wrong with continuing to be her merchant.

Fu Ling disappeared in a flash. Jiang Yan put away the letter. This letter was made public. It doesn't need to be destroyed after reading it like the previous secret letter. In fact, this letter must be kept. It is disrespectful to burn the prince's letter.

Day by day, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min also came back with Daiyu. Lin Ruhai was promoted after returning to Beijing to report on his duties.

Jiang Yan wondered that Jia Min didn't stay in the capital until next spring to accompany Lin Jin. After asking, he found out that she packed her bags overnight and brought Daiyu back from the capital.

"Originally, Jin'er told me that Baoyu hangs out with maids and sisters all day long, and asked me to take Daiyu while Baoyu was going to school. When I came back, I met Daiyu right in front of him."

Jiang Yan didn't expect Lin Jin to be so perceptive, and directly prevented Daiyu from meeting Jia Baoyu, "And then?"

"Then of course we met. After Baoyu met Daiyu, he asked many questions. He asked if she had characters, jade, what books to read, what poems to read, what kind of soup to eat and what kind of soup. Damn."

Jia Min complained mercilessly, she originally liked Jia Baoyu very much, she was cute and pleasing, and was her youngest nephew, but he was a difficult one who would not wink, when she realized something was wrong and wanted to bring When Daiyu left, he even played tricks and asked his mother to keep them.

"Before I left, I told my mother not to spoil the child too much. I don't know if she listened to it or if it annoyed me."

Although the mother may be angry with her, that's all she can do. Daiyu is her daughter, and she doesn't want Daiyu to get involved with Jia Baoyu, and make some messy 'kissing and kissing'.

Before, Jia Min only brought in the identity of the mistress of the Lin family, thinking that the Jia family would not be able to marry a woman of a scholarly family, but now that she took in the identity of a woman's mother, she became more determined that she would not marry her daughter to such a family. Although it is her natal home.

"Why do you feel that Rongguo Mansion is like a scourge now? Is it really that scary?" Rongguo Mansion didn't get to where it is today, but developed gradually.

Jia Min looked serious, and looked at Jiang Yan with deep understanding, "Brother, isn't that also the reason why you left the capital and insisted on settling down in Jinling?"

She didn't understand why her brother came to settle in Jinling immediately after his wedding. She had been in the military camp for so many years before getting married. She thought that his brother would stay by his mother's side to fulfill his filial piety.

Thinking about it now, it was because my elder brother had already seen the essence of Rongguo Mansion and anticipated what would happen today, so he came out ahead of time and stayed away from the place of right and wrong.

Jiang Yan smiled without saying a word, and then changed the subject: "Then you're back, is Jin'er all right in the capital?"

"It's okay, my husband found a teacher who is familiar with him, and he can teach Jin'er during this period of time, and Jin'er has studied for so many years before, and he has learned everything that should be learned, and those who have not learned can't learn in such a short period of time. Time to learn, as long as it is not too wasteful."

Jia Min still has great confidence in her son. She has watched him grow up since she was a child. It can be said that she is one of the people who understand her son best in the world. The only one who can compete with her is Lin Ruhai.

In fact, Lin Jin did not live up to the expectations of his parents. He passed the first examination after the new emperor ascended the throne, and entered the palace examination. After Sheng Ling asked him about his knowledge, he became Tanhualang.

Like Lin Ruhai back then, the father and son were in the same line, and it became a good story for a while. After 20 years, someone in the Lin family once again stepped into an official career because of the imperial examination.

What was different from Lin Ruhai back then was that Lin Jin was not dispatched as an official, but entered the Imperial Academy, where he was an editor of the Seventh Rank Imperial Academy, a real seventh rank sesame official.

The official position is not high, but fortunately, he is young and has a bright future. There are countless people who come to ask for marriage, but without exception, they all return disappointed. Just getting married.

Lin Jin's becoming Tanhua Lang was also a shock to Rongguo Mansion. When Lin Jin came to Rongguo Mansion before, he was a junior. He was only found to be a young man, but he didn't attract much attention.

The relationship with Jia Zhu, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu was also called by his cousin, and he was approachable. Now that he has become a Tanhua Lang, Jia Zheng began to use him as an example to educate Jia Zhu and Jia Baoyu.

Jia Zhu knows how to be motivated, and he has been preparing for the imperial examinations all the time, but Jia Baoyu is not as obedient as Jia Zhu. He listens to Jia Zheng once or twice, and he gets bored when he talks too much. Listening to those old masters lecturing like scriptures, I got bored for a while and replied.

Jia Zheng was already dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu's sloppy attitude, and this made him even more angry, and in a hurry he wanted to ask for family law. Jia Baoyu took advantage of his small size and ran away in a hurry, wanting to find Jia Mu Move rescuers.

However, Jia Zheng saw that the more he ran, the more angry he became, so he ordered the courtyard gate to be closed and his servants to catch him. Jia Baoyu was young and could shuttle among the servants, but it was precisely because of his small size that he soon became tired. Having no strength, he was caught by the servants.

Immediately, he was pressed on the stool, and Jia Zheng began to beat him with a piece of bamboo. When Jia's mother came to inquire, Jia Baoyu had already beaten him several times, crying until his nose was in tears.

Jia's mother felt distressed and cried again, crying and shouting to take Baoyu back to her hometown in Jinling. Jia Zheng quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake.
