Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

The dead are the most important. After Jia Zhu passed away, there was no bad word about him in the capital, but all kinds of bad rumors about Mrs. Wang were spread in the capital.

Originally, Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother blamed Jia Lian for harming Jia Zhu by winning the first prize in the exam, which ruined Mrs. Wang's reputation.Now she has framed Jia Lian for Jia Zhu's death, making her reputation even worse.When people in the capital mentioned Mrs. Wang, the first thing they said was the vicious woman who framed the number one scholar.

Because of Mrs. Wang, the reputation of the Wang family has also deteriorated a lot. People in the capital think that if the Wang family can raise such a daughter, they will not be much better.

Many aristocratic families in the capital are unwilling to associate with the Wang family anymore. They don't want to be implicated and ruin their family's reputation.

People who used to have frequent contacts with the Wang family began to avoid the Wang family one after another, unwilling to associate with the Wang family, which annoyed Mrs. Wang and Wang Ziteng.

Who is to blame for this?

I can only blame Mrs. Wang.

The reputation of the Wang family was ruined, and the most affected was the marriages of the Wang family's children, especially Wang Xifeng's.

Wang Xifeng is 13 years old this year. Although she is not yet ready, she is not too young.There are many girls in the capital who will make marriage arrangements before they are married.

Mrs. Wang originally wanted to tell Jia Lian Wang Xifeng to have a closer kiss, but unfortunately Jia Lian had already been given a marriage, and Wang Xifeng's marriage had to be reconsidered.

Wang Xifeng was in a very bad mood during this period. Some time ago Mrs. Wang said that she was betrothed to Jia Lian. She was very happy for a long time, but within two days, Jia Lian was bestowed a marriage by the emperor, and her wish to marry Jia Lian came to nothing. This annoyed her very much.

A few years ago, she fell in love with Jia Lian. Although she was rejected by Jia Lian and she hated him, she still liked him and wanted to marry him.I thought I could get my wish, but I was happy in vain.

With Jia Lian's marriage gone, Wang Xifeng lost all expectations. After all, there would no longer be a good-looking and talented young man like Jia Lian in the capital.

Although she doesn't have expectations for her marriage, it doesn't mean she wants to be rejected.Because of what my aunt said before Cousin Zhu's funeral, the reputation of the Wang family was ruined, and the girls of the Wang family were not welcome.

"Miss, don't be sad. After a while, when the rumors in the capital calm down, there will be no problems with your marriage." Seeing that Wang Xifeng was crying a lot these days, Ping'er felt uncomfortable.

"It's all my aunt's fault." Wang Xifeng now hated Mrs. Wang to death, because Mrs. Wang made her even talk about a bad marriage.

Mrs. Wang's identity is not something that a little maid like Ping'er can say, she can only comfort Wang Xifeng: "Miss, just bear with it, it will be fine after a while."

Wang Xifeng felt upset and unwilling, but there was nothing he could do, he could only wait for the turmoil to subside.It suddenly occurred to her that if the emperor hadn't bestowed the marriage, she would have told Jia Lian by now.

Thinking of the emperor intervening and ruining her good marriage, Wang Xifeng scolded Emperor Longwu countless times in his heart.

"Ping'er, I asked you to inquire about the young lady of the dealer. How did you inquire about it?"

"Miss, the news that this slave girl asked someone to find out is similar to that spread in the capital." Ping'er knew that his lady was strong-tempered, and her good marriage was snatched away, so she was definitely not convinced. Naturally, she had to know that the one who gave the marriage to Jia Lian What kind of person is the girl.

"Miss Zhuang's looks are average, I heard that she is not as good as the maids in some adults' houses."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, his mood immediately improved, and he asked with a smile on his face, "Really? Are you really not as good as a maid?"

Ping'er nodded lightly: "Really, compared to you, miss, you are far behind."

Wang Xifeng was very happy to be complimented by Ping'er's words: "I don't know what the emperor thinks, but he actually married cousin Lian to a faceless girl." Wang Xifeng is still very confident in her appearance, although she is not The country is all over the city, but she is a beautiful woman anyway.

"Miss Zhuang Jia seldom goes out, and rarely attends banquets. Everyone says she is not good-looking, so she dare not come out to meet people casually."

"If you don't look good, you don't dare to come out casually, otherwise it would be embarrassing." Wang Xifeng smiled gloatingly.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng's mood improved, Ping'er was relieved.

"How is her conduct?"

"I heard that the Zhuang family's education is very good. The empress dowager praised that the Zhuang family's young lady has the demeanor of a concubine Shu back then."

Wang Xifeng had heard about Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu was not very beautiful back then, but because of her good conduct, she was very much loved by Emperor Longwu.When people in the capital mentioned Concubine Shu, they would praise Concubine Shu for her well-bred.

"Hmph, you can only be educated."

"Miss is right, the only thing that matters is education." Miss, education is more important than anything else, much more important than being beautiful.

"anything else?"

"Miss Zhuang Jia is one year older than Master Lian."

"What?" Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows in surprise, "She is one year older than Cousin Lian! Why did the emperor marry an old woman to Cousin Lian?"

Ping'er: "..." Miss, Miss Zhuang Jia is only one year older than Master Lian, she is not an old woman.

Wang Xifeng looked resentful: "You are ugly and an old woman, how can you be worthy of Cousin Lian?" Is the emperor blind, and actually gave an old woman to Cousin Lian in marriage.Wang Xifeng hated the emperor for messing up the mandarin ducks, and sympathized with Jia Lian for marrying an ugly old woman.

Ping'er: "..." Miss, Miss Zhuangjia is really not as bad as you said.

Wang Xifeng suddenly smiled: "Cousin Lian probably regrets it very much now, regretting that he rejected me at the beginning and wanted to marry an old and ugly woman."

"That's right." Ping'er also felt that her own lady was much better than Miss Zhuang's, and she didn't know what the emperor thought.

Wang Xifeng's expression suddenly became lonely again, no matter how young and beautiful she was than Miss Zhuang Jia, she could not marry Cousin Lian.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Xifeng's eyes were slightly red, and there were tears in his eyes: "It's nothing, I just feel that my life is miserable..."

"Miss, when the turmoil passes, you will find a good family." Ping'er hurriedly comforted, "Miss, you are so beautiful and capable, whoever marries you is his luck."

Wang Xifeng was amused by Ping'er's words, reached out and nodded Ping'er's head, and scolded with a smile: "Poor mouth."

"The servant girl is telling the truth."

Wang Xifeng is worrying about her own marriage, and Mrs. Wang is also worrying about her marriage.

Wang Ziteng's wife suddenly thought of seeing a beautiful young man at Jia Zhu's funeral, and suddenly had an idea in her heart.

"Mother, what do you think of Jia Rong from Ningguo Mansion?"

"Jia Rong?" Mrs. Wang looked blank, she had no impression of Jia Rong at all.

"Yes, Uncle Zhen's son from Ningguo Mansion. I met him a while ago. He is also very good-looking, with a sweet mouth."

"The words of Ningguo Mansion match our family." Mrs. Wang looked thoughtful, "Ningguo Mansion and Jia Mansion are brothers, which is not bad." If Sister Feng said it to Jia Rong, it would be considered Get closer, and get closer to the Jia family.

"Yes, the most important thing is that Jia Rong is the only legitimate son in Ningguo Mansion. If Sister Feng marries in, you don't have to worry about the problems between the sisters-in-law." Wang Ziteng's wife said, "You's a stepmother, and he is quite soft-hearted. Yes, if Sister Feng marries, she doesn't have to worry about being bullied by her mother-in-law."

When Mrs. Wang heard what her daughter-in-law said, she felt more and more that this idea was a good one.

"In two days, I will go to see Mrs. Jia and ask about this Jia Rong."

"I heard that Jia Rong is also studying, and she seems to be a supervisor." Wang Ziteng's wife said with a smile, "Although he is not as good as Brother Lian, Jia Rong will definitely inherit the title of Rongguo Mansion in the future, and he will not be bad. .”

Mrs. Wang nodded slightly: "That's true."

"It's just two years younger than Sister Feng."

Mrs. Wang waved her hand and said, "It's not a problem to be two years younger, just let Sister Feng wait for him for two years."

"The Ningguo Mansion will definitely agree to this marriage."

Mrs. Wang felt more and more that this marriage was a good one, and praised her daughter-in-law appreciatively: "You are still clever."

Wang Ziteng's wife was praised and smiled: "I also met that day. Seeing that the child looks good, I asked a few more questions out of curiosity." Thinking of Jia Rong's appearance, Wang Ziteng's wife praised, "Jia Rong Although not as good-looking as brother Lian, he is not bad, and he is also a very beautiful son. And Baoyu is also a delicate child. I really don't know how the Jia family has children, and all the children born are good-looking."

Mrs. Wang heard what her daughter-in-law said, and then realized that it was true, but their Wang family's children are not bad.

"Several children in our family are also good-looking, especially Sister Feng." The granddaughter of my own looks really good.

"It is."

Mrs. Wang is still most satisfied with Jia Lian, but Jia Lian has been given a marriage, so she can only give up and choose Jia Rong.

"Ah Choo..." Jia Lian, who was playing chess with the Supreme Emperor, sneezed indecently.

"Are you suffering from the wind and cold?"

"No, someone should be talking about me behind my back." Jia Lian rubbed his itchy nose.

"Qin Tianjian has chosen a date."

Jia Lian didn't react for a while, and asked blankly: "What day?"

"The day you got married."

Only then did Jia Lian come to his senses, and asked curiously, "When is it scheduled?"

"The second day of August is a good day for everything."

"The second day of August, there are still more than two months." Thinking that he will get married in more than two months, Jia Lian's mood is a bit complicated.

"More than two months is enough for you to prepare."

"That's enough." 15 years old... In my previous life, I was still in junior high school at the age of 15, and I'm going to get married in this life. The gap is really...

"After a while, you will be crowned."

"That's right." Jia Lian's birthday is the sixth day of June, and there are only ten days left until the sixth day of June. "Grandpa Lin, do you want to give me a present?"

The Supreme Emperor looked at Jia Lian lovingly: "I will praise you."

"Ah?" Jia Lian was stunned by the words of the Supreme Emperor, "Would this be too..." The Supreme Emperor gave him the crown, would this be too grand...would it be an honor?

"you are not willing?"

Jia Lian shook his head quickly: "That's not true, I just think how can I let you praise me..."

"I'm just being an elder to praise you." It was his dream come true.

When Jia Lian heard this, he naturally would not refuse, with a grateful expression on his face: "Then I will trouble you."

"I originally wanted to give you characters, but I didn't expect that brat to give you characters." The Supreme Emperor was very dissatisfied with this, and felt that Emperor Longwu had deprived him of his power. "If you give it, you will give it, and you will give it a random six yuan. How can someone call it six yuan?"

"The emperor saw that I won six yuan in a row, so he rewarded me with six yuan as a character." Hehe, when he was bestowed with six yuan by the emperor, he could only use one sentence to describe his mood, and that was day dog.Six yuan, six yuan, it's really ugly, it reminds him of the Binary Supermarket in his previous life...

"It's too casual." The Supreme Emperor even scolded Emperor Longwu for this matter.

"Grandpa Lin, what word do you want to give me?"

"Go far."

"Walking far? Do you mean walking a long way?"

The Supreme Emperor nodded slightly: "I hope your future will go farther and farther."

The simple two words contain the deep blessings of the elders, how can this not be touching.

Jia Lian's heart was full of emotion, and his nose was a little sour: "Thank you, Grandpa Lin..." Unfortunately, the emperor has already given the characters, and Xingyuan can no longer use them.

"It's a pity that brat has already given you a letter." Mentioning this matter, the Supreme Emperor felt angry.

Jia Lian suddenly thought of a good idea: "When I paint in the future, I will sign it with Xingyuan."

After hearing this, the Supreme Emperor felt a little better: "That's fine."

Jia Lian and the others didn't know that when the people from the Qin Tianjian checked his and Zhuang Jingrong's birth dates, something happened.

At that time, people from Qin Tianjian combined Jia Lian and Zhuang Jingrong's birth date and found that Jia Lian's birth date was very strange.Judging from the calculation of the birth date, Jia Lian did nothing in his life. Not only did he fail to win the first prize in the examination, he also had no official career, and he would die in his thirties.However, in reality, Jia Lian won six yuan in a row and was reused by the prince, so his future career will not be bad.This difference is too great.

Although fortune-telling is not very accurate, it is basically not too biased.However, Jia Lian's birth date is too different from the reality, as if Jia Lian's birth date is not his, which is too weird.

Jia Lian's birthday horoscope and Zhuang Jingrong's birthday horoscope do not match. The two are not married and will not become husband and wife.However, the emperor has given them a marriage, and they will soon become husband and wife.This is so weird...

The horoscope of Jia Lian's birthday baffled the people of Qin Tianjian, who didn't know whether to tell the truth to the emperor.However, the emperor has already bestowed a marriage, and if they tell the emperor that Jia Lian's birth date and Zhuang Jingrong are at odds, isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor?

After struggling for a long time, the people of Qin Tianjian discussed it and decided not to tell Emperor Longwu the truth of the matter, but said that the birth dates of Jia Lian and Zhuang Jingrong were very compatible.

After receiving the date selected by Qin Tianjian, Emperor Longwu drew up an order for Jia Lian and Zhuang Jingrong to get married on the second day of August.

This marriage decree came down, and it broke the hearts of countless girls in the capital.Their No. [-] scholar will marry another woman in more than two months.

After the imperial decree came down, Jia Amnesty asked someone to count the days, and then went to the dealer to make a betrothal gift.

The day of giving the betrothal gift is set on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, which is an auspicious day.

The day of getting married was set, and the day of giving the betrothal gift was also set. There were a lot of things to prepare, and Mrs. Xing became busy.

When Jia's mother heard the news, she called Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian over.

It had been more than ten days since Jia Zhu's funeral, and when he came to Jia's mansion again, Jia Lian obviously felt that the atmosphere in Jia's mansion was a little lifeless, but this was also normal, after all, Jia Zhu had just passed away.

The father and son came to Jia Mu's house and greeted Jia Mu first.

Mother Jia waved to Jia Lian, and said kindly, "Brother Lian, come here."

Jia Lian found that since Jia Zhu passed away, Jia Mu's attitude towards him had changed again, becoming more affectionate than before.To be honest, he couldn't accept it.

Jia's mother held Jia Lian's hand, looked at him deeply, and said with a smile: "In a blink of an eye, Brother Lian is going to get married." Then, her eyes suddenly turned red, "Grandma always thought that you were still a child. I didn't expect you to start a family and start a business so soon, it's really..."

"Grandma, I'm 15, not a kid."

"In the eyes of grandma, you are still a child." Jia's mother patted the back of Jia Lian's hand, "But it's fine if you get married. Once you get married, you will become more stable and mature."

"Yes." To start a family and start a business, start a family first and then start a business, alas...he still feels very uncomfortable.

"Has the date for the betrothal gift been set?" Jia Mu looked at Jia Amnesty and asked.

"It's booked, the eighth day of July."

"The Zhuang family is a relative of the emperor after all, so the dowry should be more generous, so it cannot be underestimated."

"I know." Jia Amnesty not only took good things from home as dowry gifts, but also collected good things everywhere.

"I have a lot of things here that can be sold. I have prepared them for you. You can take them back later and use them as betrothal gifts."

Jia Lian was startled by Jia Mu's words, when did this old woman become so generous?

"Grandmother, it's okay, this is your own thing, how can you ask for your thing as a bride price." He didn't want to owe the old woman a favor.

"You are my grandson, and when you get married, I naturally have to prepare some things as a dowry." Jiamu said with a smile, "Besides, I am old, and these things are useless to me, so I might as well bring them to you." As a bride price, I will give you a long face."

"Grandmother, we can prepare the dowry by ourselves, so you don't need to worry about it." Just kidding, if you accept this old woman's dowry, you will talk about it in the future, and you don't know how you will be entangled.

"When you get married, grandma also wants to contribute."

"Grandmother, leave your good things to Eldest Sister and Baoyu." He didn't want to be entangled with this old woman in the future, "Eldest Sister is not too young, so it's time to say kiss, you should leave the good things to her as a dowry , so that when the eldest sister gets married, she can have a good time."

Jia Lian didn't say anything, Jia's mother hadn't thought about it yet.Indeed, compared to Jia Lian, Jia Yuanchun needs good things as a dowry.

"Before the emperor rewarded me with a lot of things and silver taels. If there are not enough things, we will go out and buy them." Jia Lian persuaded, "I don't want your good things anymore, keep them for my eldest sister to support."

Jia's mother held Jia Lian's hand tightly, and said with a look of relief: "You child... really think about your elder sister."

"The elder sister belongs to the daughter's family, and the dowry is not generous, so she will be looked down upon by the man."

"Yes..." Jia Mu was moved by Jia Lian's words, "Since you are so persistent, then I will leave the things to your elder sister."

"Well, leave it to the eldest sister as a dowry."

Jia's mother took Jia Lian and talked for a while, leaving Jia Lian and the others for lunch, but Jia Lian refused because she had something to do.

As soon as I walked out of Jia Mu's house, I saw Lai and everyone followed me out.

"Master, Master Lian."

"What else does grandma want?"

"It's not the old lady looking for you, it's the old slave asking for something."

"You?" Jia Lian looked surprised, and then thought of Master Lai's son who came to Liuyuan Mansion to inform him, and immediately understood the purpose of Master Lai's seeking him.

Lai everyone knelt down towards Jia Lian and kowtowed three times: "Master Lian, the son of this old slave wants to go to Liuyuan Mansion to serve you and the Eldest Master. This old slave begged Young Master Lian to accept the son of this old slave."

Jia Lian pinched her chin with a thoughtful expression.He remembered that in the original book, Master Lai's son donated money to become a county magistrate, which shows that Master Lai has a lot of money.Lai Da's family served in the Ningrong and Rongfu, and they don't know how much money they got there, and they must know a lot about the Ningrong and Rongfu.

Everyone Lai has been serving the old woman, and she is quite trusted by the old woman, so you can take advantage of it.

"Okay, let your son go to Liuyuan Mansion."

Seeing that Jia Lian agreed, Lai everyone looked happy and grateful: "Master Lian, thank you for your kindness." His son will definitely have a bright future if he follows Master Lian.

"Grandmother is getting old, you have to take good care of her in the future." Jia Lian said meaningfully.

Everyone is a good person. Hearing what Jia Lian said, he immediately understood what Jia Lian meant, and said respectfully, "Master Lian, don't worry, this old slave will serve the old lady wholeheartedly."

Seeing that Lai understood what he meant, Jia Lian smiled with satisfaction: "That's good." It can be seen that Lai Da's family is smart for being able to make so much money in Ningrong and Rongfu.

Everyone Lai took a step forward and said to Jia Lian in a low voice: "Master Lian, after the young master was buried, the second wife's sanity became a little unclear, and she said every day that you killed the young master. The second master's official position has been suspended. The old lady wants you to intercede with the emperor, so that the second master's suspension will end."

"Why didn't the old lady mention it just now?"

"The old lady is a little embarrassed to tell you, and will mention this to you in a while."

Jia Lian nodded lightly: "I see, let your son tell me if there is anything in the future."

"Yes."

Jia Lian and Jia Amnesty left.

When Lai returned to Jiamu's room, he heard Jiamu ask, "What are you looking for, Brother Lian?"

"The old slave wants his son to serve in Liuyuan Mansion, so that we can know what's going on in Liuyuan Mansion."

Mother Jia thought Lai's arrangement was good, she nodded in agreement and said, "You're still thoughtful." Then she asked, "Did Lian agree?"

"The old slave begged for a long time before Master Lian agreed."

"Just agree." Mother Jia felt that Lai's arrangement was too suitable for her, so she happily rewarded Lai with several batches of good silk.

"Old lady, what are you going to do about the young lady's marriage?"

"Our family's reputation has been ruined by the second family's. I'm afraid Yuan Chun won't be able to find a good family." At least, the aristocratic family doesn't have to think about it.

"Second wife, she...seems not very well..."

"Brother Zhu's death hit her hard." When Jia Zhu was mentioned, Jia's mother felt distressed. "Let people look after her and don't let her go out and talk nonsense, otherwise the family will really be over." If it weren't for Jia Baoyu's presence, Mother Jia probably wouldn't be able to cheer up.

"Old lady, the eldest lady and uncle are coming soon, right?" The eldest lady and uncle in Lai's mouth refers to Jia Min and Lin Ruhai.

When this matter was mentioned, Mother Jia smiled instantly: "Yes, it should only be these two days."

"Since the eldest lady got married, she has never come back. This time, she will be reunited with you."

"Yeah, I haven't seen her for more than ten years..." In fact, among Jia's mother's three children, Jia Min is the one who loves her the most, followed by Jia Zheng.

"So, old lady, you should take good care of your health, so that the eldest lady will be happy to see you well when she comes back."

"You're right." During this period of time, too many bad things happened at home, and the atmosphere in the house was too depressing. When the daughter's family came over, it would become lively.

When Jia Min and the others received the news of Jia Zhu's death, she was very worried about Jia's mother. After all, a white-haired man sent a black-haired man, and she was really afraid that Jia's mother would not be able to accept this blow.Besides, her own health is getting worse and worse, and she may not live for a few years.She wanted to go home and see her mother before she left.

Seeing Jia Min standing on the deck, Lin Ruhai hurried over and put a cloak on her.

"It's windy, don't stand here and blow the wind."

"I've been nestled in the boat all this time, and I'm so bored. After finally coaxing Daiyu to sleep, I'll come out to blow some air and get some fresh air."

"I don't know how to put on a piece of clothing when I go out. What if I catch a cold?" Over the years, his wife's health has become worse and worse, and he is worried and anxious.He didn't agree to her coming back this time, after all, her body couldn't bear the long journey, but seeing her miss her dearly, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he agreed to her.

"Husband, you don't have to worry. Although I am a little tired from the long-distance boat ride, I am happy in my heart. My appetite has improved a lot, and my body feels much better."

"That's good." It seemed that it was right to promise her to come back.

"I don't know what happened to my mother?"

"Mom will be fine."

"Last time I was seriously ill, and my eldest brother came all the way to Yangzhou to see me. This time I came back, I want to see him." Before, Jia Min was seriously ill, and Jia Amnesty went to Yangzhou after Jia Lian's examination. , stayed for two days, and hurried back.

"Naturally, I still want to chat with brother Lian." I thought brother Zhu would be promising, but I didn't expect brother Lian to be the most promising one, and he won six yuan in a row.

"Brother Lian... I used to hear from my mother that my brother Lian is just as bad at studying as my elder brother. I never thought that my brother Lian studied hard and won six yuan in a row."

"Brother Lian was still a child at that time, and children naturally love to play."

"That's true." Jia Min couldn't help but smile when he thought of Jia She whom he met a few months ago, "Brother has also changed, unlike when I was at home..." Before she got married, the elder brother only knew about eating, drinking and having fun. He doesn't do his job properly, and speaks in a strange way.The last time my eldest brother went to see her, she seemed to be a different person, much better.

"Brother Lian is promising, so the elder brother will naturally change." To be honest, he had a bad impression of the eldest uncle before, but the last time he saw him, he felt that the eldest uncle had changed a lot, and he was not as confused as before.

"That's right." Jia Min and Lin Ruhai stood at the bow of the boat for a while, and then returned to the boat.

Jia Lian and the others also knew that Jia Min and the others were coming back, because Lin Ruhai wrote a letter to Jia Amnesty before leaving.

After Jia Zhu's funeral was over, Jia Lian officially reported to the Ministry of Industry, and now goes to work in the Ministry of Industry every day.

He told Emperor Longwu before that he wanted to engage in technology and wanted to change farming tools and textile machines.Emperor Longwu told the minister of the Ministry of Industry to let Jia Lian concentrate on technology.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry also attached great importance to Jia Lian, and told the people in the Ministry of Industry not to disturb Jia Lian.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry are all doers, and there are very few intrigues, unlike the officials of several other ministries who fight to the death for power.

Among the six ministries, only the Ministry of Industry did not participate in the party struggle and remained neutral.However, compared with the other ministries, the Ministry of Industry is not so important, so it is not too important whether the Ministry of Industry should join.

Perhaps because of this reason, the atmosphere in the Ministry of Industry is very good, and the relationship between officials is relatively friendly, not as complicated and dangerous as other ministries.

After Jia Lian came to the Ministry of Industry to report, he plunged into improving farming tools and textile machines.

In order to better understand the agricultural tools and textile machines of this era, he also visited many farmers' homes and some relatively large textile workshops in the capital.

Jia Lian studied it, and found that the agricultural tools and textile machines of the Dalong Dynasty still maintained the appearance of the previous dynasty.Speaking of this, he found something strange.

He read a lot of books in the system, specifically studied the agricultural production tools and textile machines of the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties, and found that in this world, the agricultural production tools of the Dalong Dynasty still used the tools of the Sui and Tang dynasties.Even the previous dynasty of the Dalong Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, used the tools of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

In the history of the previous life, during the Song Dynasty, agricultural production tools were greatly improved and developed, and many new agricultural production tools appeared.But not in this world.

He felt that he had thought wrong before. Although the history of this world and the history of the world in his previous life overlapped, they were not the same.However, it's right to think about it, this world is the world in the Dream of Red Mansions, and it's normal to have a different history from the previous life.

Since the agricultural production tools of the Song Dynasty in the previous life did not appear in this world, he should just get out all the agricultural tools of the Song Dynasty in the previous life.

With the plug-in of the system, it is much more convenient for Jia Lian to do things.Soon, he drew the blueprints of the agricultural production tools and asked others to make them.

People in the Ministry of Industry were surprised when they saw the new tools that Jia Lian had brought out, and asked him what they were useful for.

The tools Jia Lian made out included: plows to replace ox plowing, and pommel horses for transplanting rice seedlings.

Irrigation tools include: keel carts, that is, treadmills, orange shovels, buckets, pulleys, and barrel carts.Rollovers are divided into manpower hand cranks and pedal rollovers, animal power rollovers, and hydraulic rollovers.

However, Jia Lian changed some agricultural tools from wooden to iron.The ironmaking technology of the Dalong Dynasty was good. Ironware has been used in many places, but it is rarely used in agricultural tools.

As for the textile machine, he plans to get it after a while, and first make agricultural production tools.

The agricultural production tools produced by Jia Lian were first used in his own fields.Before the family was separated, their family was allocated a lot of land, and Emperor Longwu also rewarded a lot of land.Therefore, he first experimented with his own field, and when the results of the experiment came out, he was reporting to Emperor Longwu.

The Supreme Emperor has always known about these things he ordered.After Jia Lian made it, he took it to the field for experiments, and the Supreme Emperor followed him to see it.

Seeing that the cultivated land has achieved good results, the Supreme Emperor was very happy.Only when the land is well cultivated can we grow food well.

While Jia Lian was busy experimenting with the farm tools he had made, Jia Min's family arrived in the capital.

Jia Min's family is far away in Yangzhou, so they don't know what happened to Jia's family during this period. When they arrived at Jia's mansion, they saw that the door plaque of Rongguo Mansion was gone, and the stone lions at the door were gone, and even the door was painted. Black, this made her very shocked and disturbed, always feeling that something big happened to her natal family.

Walking into Jia's mansion, she found that the layout of Jia's mansion had also become smaller. She had a bad feeling in her heart. Could it be that the title of the family was gone?

Seeing Mother Jia walking towards them from a distance, Jia Min's thoughts were all on Mother Jia, and for a moment he forgot what was wrong in the mansion.

Jia's mother and Jia Min's mother and daughter have not seen each other for more than ten years. When they met, they hugged each other tightly and cried non-stop.After crying for a long time, and everyone persuaded them for a long time, they stopped.

Seeing that Jia's mother had aged a lot and her spirits were not very good, Jia Min felt very uncomfortable.

Mother Jia looked at her daughter carefully, and seeing her pale face and frail brows, she knew that her daughter was not in good health, and felt very distressed.

"When we received the letter, we hurriedly set off. Unexpectedly, we still didn't... send brother Zhu on his last journey." For Jia Zhu, a nephew, Jia Min liked it better.Before she got married, Jia Zhu liked her as an aunt very much, and often stuck to her as an aunt.Later, when she got married, Jia Zhu would write letters to her from time to time when she grew up.She had a very good relationship with this nephew, and she was very sad when his nephew passed away suddenly, and she couldn't believe that Jia Zhu passed away at such a young age.It was because Jia Zhu left at a young age that she felt that she should come back and have a look before she left.

When Jia Zhu was mentioned, tears filled Jia's mother's eyes again: "Oh... Brother Zhu is a poor child..."

Seeing that she made Jia's mother cry, Jia Min quickly apologized: "It's all my fault, and I made mother sad again." Her mother has always loved Zhu Ge'er, and Zhu Ge'er's death must have dealt a great blow to her mother.

Mother Jia wiped her tears and smiled at Jia Min: "It's a happy event for you to come back today, we can't cry all the time."

"What mother said is true." Seeing that Mrs. Wang was not there, Jia Min asked with concern, "Mother, is the second sister-in-law not at home, or is she feeling unwell?"

"Your second sister-in-law is not feeling well. After Brother Zhu left, she became sleepy. Sometimes her mind is not clear, and she stays in her room all day long."

"If a white-haired person sends a black-haired person, the second sister-in-law must feel uncomfortable."

"Ugh……"

"Where's the second brother?"

"Your second brother went to his friend's place to relax. I've already sent someone to invite him." Jia Mu said, holding back her sadness, "I've also sent someone to invite you to your elder brother's family. They will come soon."

"If the eldest brother and the second brother have something to do, there is no need to invite them specially. I will stay at home for a while this time and accompany you."

"Really?" Mother Jia was surprised.

"Daughter hasn't come back for a long time, this time I plan to stay for a longer period of time, to accompany you well and do my best to be filial."

Mother Jia held Jia Min's hand tightly, and cried again: "My dear daughter...well, well, you must stay here for a while this time, until the Chinese New Year."

"If you don't think I'm annoying, I'll live until the Chinese New Year and spend the New Year with you."

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it."

Here, Mother Jia took Jia Min and talked tearfully about what happened in Jia's mansion during this period.Over there, three members of Jia Lian's family rushed over from home.

Walking into Jia's mother's room, Jia Lian saw Jia Min at a glance.Speaking of which, this was the first time he saw Jia Min as an aunt, and the eyebrows looked half or six like Jia's mother, probably because of her poor health, which gave people a feeling of being weak.

Greeting Jia Mu, Jia Lian formally saluted Jia Min and Lin Ruhai for the first time.

"I met my aunt and uncle."

Jia Min stared wide-eyed, looked at Jia Lian in shock, and asked in disbelief, "Is it really Brother Lian?" In fact, Jia Min saw him as soon as Jia Lian came in.Jia Lian is so good-looking that no matter where he goes, he will be the first to see him.

"Auntie, it's me."

Jia Min stood up and walked in front of Jia Lian, took Jia Lian's hand, looked him up and down carefully several times, and said with a surprised face: "Brother Lian is so good-looking, I didn't even dare to recognize him just now. "Brother Lian's nephew, she met him when he was born, he was so small at that time, so she couldn't tell whether he was good or not.Unexpectedly, after seeing him for more than ten years, brother Lian's nephew looks so handsome, and this is the first time she has seen such a good-looking boy.

"Brother Lian has gotten better over the past few years. You don't know that he is said to be the most beautiful man in the capital." Mother Jia said this with a very proud and proud expression.

"It's normal for this handsome appearance to be called the most beautiful man in the capital." Jia Min fell in love with Jia Lian's nephew at a glance, of course not because Jia Lian was good-looking, but because of Jia Lian's very good-looking, gentle and elegant son .

Jia Lian was pulled by Jia Min and asked a lot of questions. His first impression of this aunt was not bad.
