[Red House] Raiders of life

Time flies, years pass.

Yanshan.

drive - drive -

The horse's hooves slid across the green grass and stopped outside the gazebo.Everyone reined in and dismounted.Liu Yu cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I never thought that Jia Hanlin was not only talented in literature, but also in equestrian skills."

Jia Hu smiled lightly and remained silent.She was wearing a royal blue robe with narrow sleeves, and a Pisces pendant hung around her waist.He is tall and tall, with outstanding demeanor.The child who was half a year old at that time has already become a handsome boy now.With a handsome appearance and an extraordinary bearing, he has a bit of the charm of "Moshang is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world".

Jia Hu didn't like Liu Yu very much.There was nothing wrong with Liu Yu's words, but his flattering demeanor and flattering tone made him very uncomfortable.However, Liu Yu's elder sister was Jia Zheng's stepmother and also his second aunt, so he wanted to give him this face no matter what.

Wang Ren drove over with his horse, followed by two friends who were also sons of rich families in Beijing.One said with a smile: "Look at your royal family is still the family of generals, and your uncle is also the governor of the Beijing camp. Why can't even Jia Hanlin compare?"

Wang Ren touched his nose, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he had a playful smile on his face. He got off his horse and put Jia Hu on the shoulder naturally, "What's the matter! Our family is the family of generals, and brother Jia is still the post-general! Losing to him, That's natural!"

Jia Hu frowned slightly, and calmly shook off Wang Ren's hand.Wang Ren didn't pay attention, surrounded by several friends and invited Jia Hu into the gazebo.Several people exchanged cups and glasses, Wang Ren winked, and Liu Yu found an excuse to go out with the others.

Jia Hu sighed inwardly, although Liu Yu was ineffective, Liu Ting had been keeping herself safe since she married into Jia's family, and even though her mother's health had improved a lot over the years, it was inevitable that she would get sick a few times again.Thanks to Liu Ting's assistance in managing the house, Jia's mansion has been taken care of seamlessly.Even grandma praised it a lot.Now there are sons and heirs by his side.Even if Liu Yu invited Liu Yu out of consideration for his relatives, he would not be happy to come.But who knows, Liu Yu invited Wang Renxiang on purpose.

Wang Ren poured a glass of wine for Jia Hu, and said with a smile, "Brother Jia is now a celebrity around the emperor. There are so many Hanlin in the Imperial Academy, how many people can get the emperor's special approval to walk in front of the emperor? How many people can write for the emperor on behalf of Zhongshu Writing an edict?"

Listening to his praise, Jia Hu was noncommittal.Wang Ren looked embarrassed, laughed a few times, and said a little bit wronged: "Brother Jia is really, we will soon be relatives, when my sister marries your brother, we will be considered..."

"What did you say?"

Wang Ren was yelled at by Jia Hu, and swallowed the remaining half of the sentence, but seeing Jia Hu's face changed drastically, he was even more annoyed, "Why, your Jia family insulted my sister, maybe you still don't want to admit it !"

Jia Hu's face was full of surprise.Wang Ren smiled again and naturally took Jia Hu's shoulders, "Big brother doesn't have to be so angry, the Jia and Wang families are also family friends. Your brother and my sister can be regarded as childhood acquaintances, and they can be called childhood sweethearts. This is a good thing! "

Jia Hu got up and patted his shoulder, "It's just that I met twice when I was young, so I can't be considered a childhood sweetheart. I don't know about marriage, parents' orders, and matchmaker's words. When will it be up to your family to decide."

Wang Ren's expression changed, and he sneered and said, "Don't think you can take Zhang Naqiao now that you have the emperor's own eyes. My sister let him touch her, and let him hug her. Does the Jia family want to just let it go? You guys?" It's not bad that Jia's family is the Marquis's family, but my uncle is also the governor of the Beijing camp. If this incident happened, my sister's reputation will be ruined, and you Jia's family can't get better! Besides, Yiyonghou is in front of me. Uncle answered in person! The only difference is to invite a matchmaker to come to the door!"

When Jia Hu heard this, her heart was shocked.Although Wang Ren is a dude, he is not capable of telling such a lie that will be exposed if asked.Since he said that Jia Amnesty agreed, he must have agreed.Fortunately, it was only a verbal agreement, and even a matchmaker was not invited, so it was not counted.It's just that he talked, touched and hugged.I don't know what the situation is.However, instead of asking Wang Ren and getting the arrangement made by others, it is better to go back and arrest Jia Lian to ask.

Jia Hu threw off Wang Ren, jumped on his horse, and when he arrived at the mansion, he happened to see another farce.

Although Jia Lian was kneeling, he poked his neck and said, "Anyway, I won't marry!"

Jia She was so angry that he jumped, "Marriage, parents' order, matchmaker's words, you don't have the right to speak. Besides, what have you done to them! The girl's body was given to you, and you did such a thing , I still don’t want to marry! What kind of family are you as the Wang family? Will Wang Ziteng let you go?”

"What does it mean that the body was given to me! She fell into the lake by herself, and I saved her with good intentions. Instead, she relied on me! Why is the Wang family like this? If I knew it, I wouldn't have saved her."

Hearing this, Jia Hu breathed a sigh of relief, he also didn't believe that the younger brother he had watched growing up would do such a shameless thing.

"No matter what the reason is, it's true that you hugged her and touched her. If you don't marry, she can still marry? The girl is about to wipe her neck and hang herself at home right now!"

Jia Hu frowned and was about to go in, but Lin Ning's sonorous voice came from behind: "Then let her wipe it!"

Jia Hu was taken aback for a moment, turned around and saw Zhang Shi supporting Lin Ning, hurriedly walked over, helped Lin Ning on the other side, and together with Zhang Shi and Lin Ning entered the house.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian shut up at the same time.Jia Amnesty's face was embarrassing, his eyes dodged, and seeing Lin Ning sitting down and staring at him, he explained: "I don't say whether it's saving people. If the girl of the Wang family really died like this, how could the Wang family let it go. Wang Ziteng is not so good now. What about the Jingying Jiedushi! Besides, our two families are family friends, but they became colder in the past few years. Now that things are getting into this situation, getting married is the best way to deal with it. With the families of the two families, the prince Teng holds great power. Although Miss Wang is only his niece, the two children from the family line of the Wang family grew up with Wang Ziteng. Lian'er is not the eldest son, nor is he as capable as Hu'er. It would be great if the family is right and close.”

Mrs. Zhang sneered: "You will also say that I am Lian'er's mother at the order of my parents. In short, I do not agree to this matter."

Jia Amnesty was in a hurry, "I don't agree? You're nothing to do with being a prince! If the Wang family girl is really dead, if the news gets out, even if it's to save someone, Lian'er will be treated with disrespect. What's more, there is Wang Ziteng is watching from behind."

Lin Ning glanced at Jia She, "What good did the prince promise you?"

Jia Amnesty choked, gritted his teeth and said, "No!"

"Then what's the reason to catch you?"

Jia Amnesty blushed from being told, and said stiffly, "No!"

Lin Ning sighed, "Then there is no need to worry about it. Lian'er also said that he was Miss Wang whom he met on the mountain behind the monastery. There were no outsiders around at that time. After that, Lian'er didn't take it seriously. He didn't publicize the reputation of the girl's family. Why did it spread and everyone knew about it, and she was about to die? This was clearly calculated, using rumors and public opinion to force our Jia family to admit it Since the Wang family dares to do this, they must have the courage to bear the consequences."

Jia Amnesty looked anxious, and before he could refute, Lin Ning said again: "How dare you plot against our family like this before entering the door, how can you pay it off by marrying in?"

Jia Hu frowned, but saw Nian Xia wandering at the door, she hurriedly retreated to the door, Nian Xia handed him a note, and said: "Hand the pen to the servant in a hurry, and I have to tell the servant to get it right away. Leave it to the uncle."

The note was folded into a square, and when it was opened, Jia Hu's complexion changed. He turned to look at Jia She, turned around and said to Jia Lian, "You help mother go back to her room to rest."

Jia Lian was taken aback, talking about his marriage, why did he suddenly let him go?Just as Jia Lian opened his mouth to speak, he met Jia Hu's stern gaze and immediately shut his mouth.Mrs. Zhang glanced at Jia Hu, knowing that there must be something to do, so she was not willing to leave, but Jia Hu persuaded: "Mother, go back first. This matter is due to me and the old lady. You seem to have suffered from some old illnesses these days." , just take a good rest."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Jia Hu and saw that his expression was determined.Knowing that this son had his own ideas, he sighed and left Jia Lian's hand.

Jia Hu then handed the note to Jia She. When Jia She saw it, he immediately jumped up and threw the note on the ground, "Nonsense! I don't know who the matchmaker is?"

This lie was too low-level. With a prodigal like Jia She, the capital's number one courtesan and matchmaker didn't know, only ghosts would believe it!

Jia Hu bowed and picked up the note again, and handed it to Lin Ning.The note was very simple. Jia Amnesty was coaxed to go to the Fireworks Tower, where he recruited the matchmaker to force him. It was only later that he found out that the matchmaker was favored by the eldest prince and was taken care of so that he would not receive guests.

There are not many words on the note, just a few sentences, but it clarifies the facts.Lin Ning roughly guessed the whole picture.Wang Ziteng is gaining power now.Jia Amnesty did not dare to offend the grand prince's majesty.Wang Ziteng promised to help Jia She settle the matter, and asked the fifth prince to come forward and say that he would be a peacemaker.At the same time, he also wanted to pull Jia's family into the boat of the fifth prince.

The Jia Shi family and the old lady of the Zhen family exchanged handkerchiefs, and the Zhen family has a close relationship with the four major families, so in the previous few worlds, the Jia family was regarded as a party of five princes.But this time Lin Ning transmigrated into Jia Shi's family, and had nothing to do with the fifth prince's party.

Jia Amnesty picked up Wang Ziteng, on the one hand, because he was afraid of the eldest prince, and on the other hand, he also wanted to find a "way out".

This is also the reason why Lin Ning promised Jia Hu to take Jia Amnesty aside.It would be fine if Jia Amnesty was just messing around and being absurd, she could still suppress the affairs in the inner courtyard.But she was afraid of this scene.After all, she is a woman, no matter how many means she has, in the eyes of outsiders, Jia Amnesty, who is the Duke, is still the head of the Jia family and the highest representative of the power of the Jia family.

At this point, Lin Ning actually calmed down, and he stopped scolding Jia Amnesty, but sighed, and said slowly: "Why don't you think about it, the people hired by the eldest prince, even if the eldest prince doesn't want to Make a statement, there will always be some voices in the circle. If not, wouldn’t the matchmaker say it herself? How could it be so easy for you to succeed? It just so happened that Lian’er met Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng fell into the water. Wang Ziteng I found you in a blink of an eye. How can there be such a coincidence in the world."

"If you want to rely on the fifth prince, you have to see if you have the value. Why do you think Wang Ziteng is so deliberately plotting against the Jia family, and the Raja family is in trouble? What does he value? Or, what does the fifth prince value? What? If it was you, would you believe it yourself?"

Jia She was furious, but he had to admit this, and glanced at Jia Hu. He really loved and hated this son, and his mood was very complicated.The son is promising, and I am naturally happy to be my father, especially when outsiders say that he has a very bright face.But this son's power is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems more and more that he is worthless as an old man.

"In the past ten years, the Wang family has never valued the Jia family so much, so now they are anxious to repair the relationship between the two families?"

Lin Ning sneered, when the Wang family died, the Jia family would rather give up the power in their hands than give it to the Wang family.How could the Wang family have no complaints?But Wang Ziteng is indeed a formidable one.Without the help of Jia's family, it was just a little more difficult, but I still climbed up.

Lin Ning sighed, and continued: "Before this, the Jia family had nothing but an empty title. But now, Hu'er is the number one scholar by your side, and she is very sacred. Besides, the Lin family is an in-law. With the great power in the south of the Yangtze River, the power of the Zhen family has been frustrated. It is not as good as it was before. The fifth prince's move is to kill two birds with one stone. First, he has the support of the Jia family. Second, he wants to send information to the Lin family. If the Lin family is not willing, this move is also meant to seek peace."

Jia Shewan didn't expect Lin Ning to say this to him, and was a little confused for a while.What's more, in his opinion, this is indeed a good opportunity to follow the dragon, and he really can't afford to offend the eldest prince, it would be great if someone came forward to mediate.But I never expected that there are so many twists and turns in the middle.Looking at it now, the matchmaker did have a problem.Not only the matchmaker, but also the person who poured alcohol on him that day must have something wrong!

Lin Ning looked at his expression and didn't think he would understand, so he rubbed his forehead.Speaking of which, wearing Jia Mu was really the most tiring of her several time travels.The last few times, it was basically only the first ten years of hard work, and there was basically not much for her after that.Mrs. Lin was the most comfortable that time.Because of Lin Ruhai's peace of mind.

this time……

Lin Ning once again lamented that the gender distinction is too big an obstacle.If she is a man, it doesn't have to be like this at all.Now, she has to keep Jia Amnesty's title and the status of the head of his family, but at the same time suppress him, she can't do anything excessive, especially can't put Jia's family in the vortex of seizing the heir, which is beyond redemption.

Seeing the tiredness in Lin Ning's eyes, Jia Hu stepped forward and pressed Jia She, "Father, it's well known that the First Prince and the Fifth Prince are in conflict, but they are just maintaining the brotherly respect on the surface, just to show the emperor." .It's just a prostitute, even if the eldest prince spoils him, he treats it as a plaything. He may not take it seriously. Especially at this kind of stall, the eldest prince and the fifth prince are fighting endlessly, waiting to grab each other's pigtails. Play for a while Two prostitutes are nothing, but if the eldest prince did something to his father, the Lord who was bestowed the title by the late emperor, for a prostitute, it would be a big mistake. The eldest prince would not be so stupid as to make such a thing, but if If it really happened, the fifth prince will not let this matter go. Therefore, if you say that the Wang family is going to tie the knot and the fifth prince is a peacemaker, I'm afraid there will be someone behind."

Jia She frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Father, if you don't worry, leave this matter to me to solve it."

"You solve it?" Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Hu, first he was not sure whether he could solve it, but his face was flushed because of being suppressed, I asked my son to solve this kind of thing, how do you think... …

Jia She coughed and coughed for 300 taels of silver, and said, "The fifth prince..."

This is not to give up yet.Some words are not easy for Jia Hu to say, Lin Ning said: "Don't you understand? Even if the fifth prince wants to win over, he is not interested in you. If Hu'er is not willing to be used by him, the son-in-law will not Take his account. You are a useless person to him, what will he do and think? Will he become angry and turn his anger on you? "

Jia Amnesty trembled, ashamed and indignant, and hurriedly agreed to Jia Lian's marriage, who knew that it was a lot of fun, stomped his feet very depressed, threw his sleeves and glared at Jia Hu, "I don't care what you like, I don't care! "

Seeing Jia She ran away as if he was running away, Jia Hu couldn't laugh or cry because of his posturing to hide his ugliness.Stepping forward to help Lin Ning, there was a bit of guilt on his face, "Grandma is tired. I only blame me for being fledgling. Otherwise, grandma wouldn't have to work so hard."

Lin Ning shook his head and didn't answer this question. After returning to Huaifang Hall, he screened off the servants and asked, "Who sent the note?"

Jia Hu looked serious, lowered his head, glanced at Lin Ning secretly, and whispered back: "Third Prince."

Lin Ning took a breath, even if the third prince is destined, it shouldn't be at this time.

"When did you get involved with the third prince?"

Hearing the questioning and sternness in Lin Ning's tone, Jia Hu didn't dare to sit any longer, and got up and stood beside Lin Ning, "A year ago, colleagues from the Imperial Academy gathered to hold a game of music and water, and the third prince happened to come. I had two drinks. At that time, he didn't put on airs, and he clinked glasses with several other colleagues. The grandson didn't take it seriously. It's just that from this year onwards, the emperor ordered me to accompany him more often, although it was just Ask about trivial matters as usual, occasionally talk about poetry a few times, talk about a few current discussions, but often let the third prince join. At that time, my grandson noticed something."

"A few days ago, the emperor suddenly asked about the eldest sister, saying that this year's autumn is the draft, and according to the rules, the eldest sister will also go. He also said that when the time comes, he must point out a good marriage for the eldest sister. He smiled and The third prince said that the third prince is also old enough to get married."

Lin Ning was startled, although he didn't say this clearly, but the meaning couldn't be more clear.Jia Qiong's draft quota, they entrusted someone here and did not report it.Although Dawei has a draft system, it does not insist that women within the age range be sent for selection.There are not many people who do this.The Jia family's move is nothing.But the emperor will not be ignorant, but the emperor still talked about the draft, and even mentioned that he would marry the third prince.

"Grandmother, since the emperor said this, I'm afraid we won't be able to cancel the quota for the eldest sister."

Speaking of this, Jia Hu's eyes flickered slightly, "The emperor values ​​me, although on the one hand it is indeed because of my talent. On the other hand, it is also because of the grandfather's relationship. When the late emperor was here, my grandfather was the martial arts master of several princes. At that time Prince Yizhong is still a prince, but now he is just an inconspicuous prince. His grandfather once took care of him. If his grandfather watched him from the side, the emperor's heart may not be tolerated by the emperor. But his grandfather passed away, and the emperor remembered this Affection."

He didn't understand when he was young, but today, he has been in the court for two years, and he is aware of all kinds of royal affairs, especially the unusual things about his grandfather and grandmother during that time, so he probably guessed a little bit. .It's just that the person who wants you to die is the royal family, so what can you do?It's better to pretend that you don't know.

Jia Hu's expression darkened, and he recovered, "The emperor intends to cultivate me. And I am confident that in time, I can become a minister of the humerus. The emperor also means this. But now the emperor's move is obviously to It must be used by the third prince. From this point of view, the emperor cultivated me and valued me because he wanted to leave me to the third prince."

Lin Ning was stunned. In Xue Ling's life, she understood that the emperor valued the third prince from the beginning to the end, but she didn't know that the emperor had already paved the way for the third prince so early...

The third prince probably also saw that the emperor intended to push the Jia family to him. Since it was the intention of the emperor, he didn't have to hide it. Instead, he delivered the news to Jia Hu justifiably.

From this point of view, it may not be impossible for Jia Qiong to marry the third prince.No matter what, at least it is better than the old man who followed the emperor in his previous life, suffered a miscarriage, and died of depression.

only……

"Did the emperor reveal whether it is the main concubine or the side concubine?"

Jia Hu shook her head, "Based on the emperor's tone at that time, if it was a side concubine, she probably wouldn't say it so solemnly in front of me and the third prince."

Lin Ning nodded, his thoughts turned quickly, but he was thinking more than Jia Hu.

Based on the knowledge of several worlds, she probably came to a conclusion.If the third prince is counted ten years later, Jia Qiong's status is not qualified to be a concubine in the case of the Jia family.But now is the time when the First Prince and the Fifth Prince are in full swing.The third prince is only 15 years old, he has never had any power, his sharpness has not yet shown, and his mother clan is still weak.On the surface, it seemed that he also wanted to see the third prince's own methods, and he was not very willing to show his sharpness at this time to provoke the eyes of the first prince and fifth prince.

Therefore, under such conditions, it is still not enough to rely on the second room alone.But if you add Jia She's Marquis, Jia Hu's Sacred Heart, including the Lin family's in-laws, it is enough.

Lin Ning nodded his head, agreeing.So what if it shouldn't?They can only accept Jia Daishan's death, let alone Jia Qiong's marriage?

After the incident was revealed, Jia Hu looked at Lin Ning's expression, and suddenly said, "Grandmother, my grandson wants to be released to the northwest!"
