The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

Sun Shaozu's flushed and vein-covered face suddenly turned gray, and he poked there blankly like a piece of wood, staring at the Yacha in a daze, then slowly turned his head to look at Jia Lian.He got caught?As soon as he came home, he finally got to see his widowed mother, and he fell into Jia Lian's trick!

God is going to kill his grandson's family!

Originally, when he came back this time, he thought that relying on the letter of recommendation from Lord Northwest King in his hand, he would successfully gain backing in the Ministry of War.

Sun Shaozu gritted his teeth and stared at the nemesis in front of him. His face was blue and his fists were clenched. He really wanted to pounce on him like a hungry wolf and bite him to death.

Seeing that Sun Shaozu was still eager to try, the yacha stepped forward and slapped him on the head with a scabbard.Sun Shaozu yelled that he was wronged, and wanted to use his penetrating tongue to clear up his grievances.

The yacha was afraid that this smelly dog ​​was barking at their venerable servant, so he picked up a handful of straw from the side of the road and stuffed it into Sun Shaozu's mouth.

"My lord, let the villain make mistakes, look at his posture of a hungry wolf and a tiger, but has an old grudge with you?"

Jia Lian replied truthfully: "When he was in the northwest, he obstructed the implementation of the military ration plan, so I sent him to the Yamen to deal with it according to the regulations. Probably because of this, I have a grudge against me."

When the yacha heard that this guy had hindered the soldiers from fighting, he became even more angry. He kicked Sun Shaozu and cursed him a few words.Sun Shaozu was stuffed with moldy straw, unable to speak in pain, despite the humiliation, he was finally dragged away by two yamen servants.

Jia Lian said to the Yacha: "His mouth is so eloquent that he can turn right from wrong. Let me remind you, look at the evidence and follow the laws and regulations in everything."

Yacha hurriedly said yes, and it was by no means perfunctory.

Mr. Minister is a good man. This fall, he will distribute free potato seeds in the name of the imperial court to poor farmers within a hundred miles of the capital.I heard that potatoes are so popular in Northwest China, they are delicious and have a high yield.Who would have thought that when it was promoted in Beijing, the first batch of beneficiaries were actually a group of poor people.I and several other Yachai brothers have relatives who live in poverty. It is naturally the credit of the Minister of the Household Department who advocates the implementation of the "Agricultural New Deal" for them to receive such kindness.

They are grateful to Dade.

So the yamen servants took down Jia Lian's words in a serious manner, and when they went back to convey it to the master, they still helped Jia Lian to some extent.

Jia Lian had previously sent someone to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to inquire whether Sun Shaozu's crimes had been cleared.

After Yin Zhaochen of Gyeonggi Prefecture heard the news, he also heard that Sun Shaozu wanted to rape Jia Lian secretly. Fortunately, Jing was spotted by the servants of Yuanhou Mansion and reported to him, which saved him from danger.Originally, he was responsible for Sun Shaozu's exorcism. At that time, he thought that the Sun family was a rich man, and he used the money to do things and helped the widowed mother of the Sun family by accumulating virtue.Who would have thought that this Sun Shaozu was actually the one who obstructed the military ration plan in the northwest and offended Lord Shi Lang.Although he, the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture, is of the same rank as Jia Lian, he cannot stand up to his outstanding achievements in government. His pragmatic and hard-working style is highly valued by the emperor, and he has gradually become a favored minister.

Now a senior member of the first rank still wants to give him some points, let alone himself.

This time, Sun Shaozu must not be spared, otherwise, if the servant really pursues it, he might lose his black hat.

Zhaochen investigated and collected evidence that day, collected confessions from Rong Mansion, Pingyuanhou Mansion and several government officials, and immediately tried Sun Shaozu.Because of Sun Shaozu's eloquent reminder, Zhaochen didn't want him to argue.

"The following questions, the official asks, you answer, you can only say yes or no, if you answer more, you will be punished, if you don't answer, you will be punished!"

Sun Shaozu had a bitter expression on his face, kowtowed to Mr. Fu Yin with distorted facial features, and shouted that he was wronged.

Zhaochen immediately ordered someone to slap him.

"There is one more addition, if the official does not ask you, you are not allowed to speak nonsense."

Sun Shaozu's face turned pale with fright, and he sat paralyzed in the center of the hall.Looking at the situation, it must be that the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture and Jia Lian are in the same group.Officials protect each other and join forces to murder him!I'm afraid that with this judgment, I will bid farewell to the capital forever.Poor his mother, he really regrets it, why did he mess with Jia Lian!Why do you want to play smart and go to Beijing with the Xue family with the intention of provoking Jia Lian...

In the end, Sun Shaozu was sentenced to 15 years in prison. He should have been beaten and thrown into prison, and sent him on the road when he recovered from his injuries.In order to seek a quick solution, Zhaochen directly ordered someone to beat Sun Shaozu [-] times. On the second day, he was exiled far away in Yunnan, and the approval and other things were made up later.

When Sun Shaozu left, his butt was still bleeding.As for what happened to him later, whether he was dead or alive, no one cared.

After Zhaochen finished all these, he handed a letter to Rongfu.

Jia Lian looked at the letter, threw the letter into a copper basin and burned it expressionlessly.He doesn't accept Zhaochen's kindness, it's because of his own unfair law enforcement, now he thinks he can wipe his ass clean and ask for favors, daydreaming!

Zhaochen waited for several days, but there was no news from Jia Lian. Even when he went to the court, he wanted to get close to Jia Lian, but Jia Lian just nodded and passed by, neither hating nor liking.Zhaochen understood in his heart that this Jia Lian looked down on him and didn't want to associate with him.

He was angry at home for a few days, but there was nothing he could do. He yelled at Jia Lian almost arrogantly, and made a note in his heart, so he had no choice but to let it go.

In a few days, it will be the great joy of the eldest grandson of Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Zhen's wife, You Shi, saw that there were not enough people in the mansion, so she sent someone to borrow someone from Xing Shi.The two families are close relatives and neighbors, and they walk around frequently on weekdays, so there is no reason not to borrow.After Mrs. Xing told Jiamu, many people went there.As for Brother Rong's wedding gift, she also prepared it here, but she didn't have much experience in such things in the past, so she didn't know if it would suit Mother Jia's wishes.She absolutely couldn't ask Jia Lian, and now it's the busy autumn season, he is so busy running around that he has little time to go home.Therefore, Mrs. Xing can only come to ask Jia Mu's idea.

Thanks to Aunt Xue's playing cards with Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang can still hang around in front of Jia Mu, but she is honest and doesn't dare to make troubles anymore.When I saw Xing's housekeeper today, I couldn't even be considerate about this kind of entertainment, and I laughed in my heart, but I could only roll my eyes at her in my heart.

Jia's mother pretends to be confused when she doesn't care about anything on weekdays, so she just asks Mrs. Xing to prepare casually and show her the gift list later.After finishing speaking, she frowned and thought about it again, "Brother Rong is the only direct grandson of their family, and now he is very happy, we have to ask for auspicious luck and give more. It happens that next year our Lian'er will also be very happy, so give more Can be happy."

Mrs. Xing smiled perfunctorily, but she complained in her heart: Lian'er despises her so much, she definitely doesn't care about this joy.

Mother Jia didn't want to put her own dowry on it, and she didn't know what to add. When she turned around and saw Mrs. Wang, she asked her what she thought.

"My daughter-in-law thinks that we can just add one more to the normal quota."

Mother Jia nodded, and told Mrs. Xing to do so, then turned around and played with Aunt Xue and the others with the cards.

Mrs. Xing was a little confused, what is the normal amount?There was no such precedent in Rong Mansion before. There were quite a few big weddings in other prefectures, but they couldn't compare to Rong Mansion. This was the great joy of relatives in the clan, and the specification of the gift list must be higher.She was born in a small family before, and she has never experienced anything like this kind of marriage and entertainment.But at the moment Jiamu was in high spirits, and there were outsiders around, Madam Xing couldn't open her mouth to ask because of her face, so she retreated embarrassingly.

Mrs. Wang saw Mrs. Xing's difficulty early on with her sharp eyes, she smiled triumphantly in her heart, and followed Mrs. Xing out.Seeing Xing's hesitation in walking, she raised the corner of her mouth and called her.

Mrs. Xing stopped, and turned to look at her deadly enemy with a puzzled expression.

"Sister-in-law, don't blame me for being nosy. You have never encountered such a situation before. When I was a girl at home, I learned something from my mother's housekeeper. If you don't see me, I will tell you. You probably There is a number, and I will make a gift list and send it to the old lady later, so I won't be disgusted by her old lady."

Mrs. Xing glanced at Mrs. Wang suspiciously.Obviously, she dared not accept her kindness.

Mrs. Wang ignored these, smiled and pulled Mrs. Xing to Rongxi Hall, ordered her maid to prepare pens and ink, and probably wrote a gift list for Mrs. Xing. "Just follow the instructions above, and Mrs. Bao will laugh when she sees it."

After Madam Wang finished speaking, she turned around and left, not to be bothered.

Mrs. Xing hesitated for a while while holding the list, and then looked at the content on it. It was indeed higher than the general specification, but it was not too much. The gifts were all in pairs, which meant auspiciousness, and they should not be harming her. .Mrs. Xing did so, but she was still worried that something might go wrong. When Jia Lian came back, she hurriedly asked someone to ask.The servant girl came back and only said one sentence: "Just ask the old man in Rongfu."

Mrs. Xing just patted her thigh, thinking of Mrs. Lai's daughter-in-law.She had seen big scenes with the old lady before, so she must have some knowledge.

"My wife has arranged it very well, and there will be no trouble." Everyone Lai said.

Mrs. Xing only sent the gift list up to this point. Mother Jia was very happy to see her, she didn't say anything wrong, and praised Mrs. Xing for her thoughtfulness.

Only then did Madam Xing feel relieved, she smiled and enjoyed Mother Jia's praise, and she also felt a little grateful to Madam Wang in her heart.But she also had doubts in her heart, why did she help herself?

On the day of Jia Rong's wedding, Jia Lian must be going.In the past, when he had no identity, he found an excuse not to go, and no one cared about him.Now it is different, the Ning Mansion came to inform him half a month in advance, urged him three times and invited him four times, asking him to join in the fun on the big day.To put it bluntly, seeing Jia Lian's current status can add luster to them.

Before leaving early in the morning, Jia Lian and Mrs. Xing went to see the old lady as usual.On the way, Mrs. Xing told about Mrs. Wang's help and asked Jia Lian what she thought.

Jia Lian: "These days she's been doing well, thanks to the old lady's kindness and willingness to tolerate her. In addition to her younger sister, she may have persuaded her, so let's learn it for the time being. Or she has other plans, it's unknown. It is imperative to be defensive! But she is now like this, she is just a party in front of the old lady, and it is impossible to get back the right to housekeeper. The wife can do her own thing well, be generous, and don't be afraid of her. "

Jia Lian's words gave Mrs. Xing a direction, and she was at a loss, so she followed Jia Lian's words, anyway, Lian'er's words were always right.

……

In ancient times, the wedding time was at dusk. Before the sun set, the Ning Mansion's wedding reception team was like a long red dragon, pouring into Rongning Street accompanied by Chuichuidada music.Because of the marriage with the Wang family, the Ningguo Mansion consciously had a bright face, unwilling to lose face, and handled the marriage very grandly, even a little beyond the standard.But this kind of thing is rare in a lifetime, and no one will come to correct mistakes and make trouble.But if he is unlucky and down in the future, he will definitely be added to the charges.

After all, this is a matter of the Ningguo Mansion, and Jia Lian does not get involved.Jia Rong's marriage to a daughter-in-law was not married to their Rongfu, so this crime can't be counted on their Rongfu.But if in the future, Ningguo Mansion wants to do something and want to drag Rong Mansion into the water, Jia Lian will never show mercy and just cut off the relationship.

Jia Lian observed the procedure of worshiping heaven and earth, so he probably knew it well.By this time next year, he will be the one in the red robe.

Jia Rong is quite good-looking, with delicate features, fair skin, and a face that looks like she has her own beauty tool, very beautiful.It's just that the beauty is a bit neutral, and it's a little less masculine.

When Jia Rong returned from worshiping heaven and earth, there was another person following him, and the relationship seemed to be very good.Compared with Jia Rong's appearance, this young man's face is so handsome that it makes people's eyes shine.The clothes look like a master, but in front of Jia Rong, he looks like a servant who looks like a housekeeper.

Jia Lian casually asked Xing'er who was beside him, and he knew that the person was Jia Qiang.While Jia Lian was observing the two of them, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang also noticed this side.Against the backdrop of the bright red wedding dress, Jia Rong's face was flushed, and she became more energetic.Holding the wine glass, he walked straight up to Jia Lian and toasted respectfully.

"Uncle Lian, my nephew would like to offer you a toast."

Jia Lian raised his glass and drank it straight away.Jia Qiang also approached with a smile, wanting to respect Jia Lian, but was dragged back by Jia Rong.

"On my happy day, if you have anything to do, I should respect you." After Jia Rong finished speaking, he raised another glass, said many polite words, and complimented Jia Lian before doing it himself.

Jia Lian had to drink this cup even though he was sweet-mouthed at him, "Okay, you go to socialize quickly, our two families don't need to be polite."

Jia Rong hurriedly said yes, and politely withdrew.

Xue Pan also came to join in the fun, and according to Aunt Xue's arrangement, he even sealed a huge gift.There are two purposes for this: one is to show the generosity of the Xue family, so that they can walk around in Beijing in the future; the other is that they are still the guests of Rongfu, so they can also give Rongfu a face.

After receiving Jia Rong's toast, Xue Pan wanted to go to Jia Lian's table.But he found that the people at Jia Lian's table were basically today's distinguished guests, such as dukes and lords, and at last they were officials with fourth-rank real positions.He's a bastard, he can't get through no matter what.Xue Pan was not reconciled, and imitated Jia Rong, pouring himself a glass of wine, and wanted to go to Jia Lian to toast.But he found that it was not easy. Among the guests, there were already many people who wanted to please Jia Lian, and each of them came forward with wine glasses. There were so many people that they were about to line up at the gate of Ning Mansion.Look at these toasters, there are many rich and noble men in Beijing, all of them have flattering expressions on their faces.

And the people at the table with Jia Lian were also able to find their own topics, anxious to talk about their relationship with Jia Lian.

It was only at this point that Xue Pan realized that he was actually a nobody with no status, and he didn't even have a chance to join in the fun.

Being extremely distressed, Xue Pan found Baoyu who was also lonely on the wine table.

Baoyu is also dressed in red, but it is not as bright red as the groom's official, nor is the groom's slim and good-looking one.

Hehe, look at this fat kid, his eyes are downcast and melancholy, he thought Baoyu was asleep just now at first glance.If this fat brother gets fatter, he will lose his eyes.

Xue Pan patted Baoyu on the shoulder.

Baoyu shuddered, looked up at Xue Pan in shock, and then heaved a sigh of relief, "Brother Xue, you wouldn't call me, you didn't want to scare me."

"You must be distracted, what are you thinking?" Xue Pan asked.

Baoyu still drooped her eyes, pursed her mouth and said nothing.

"What happened?" Xue Pan asked again.

Baoyu suddenly burst into tears, and the bean-sized teardrops fell down very fast.

Xue Pan opened his eyes wide, as if asking Baoyu if he was sick.

"I used to have a fairy-like younger sister who ignored me, but now there is a snow-white and clear sister Bao who ignores me... What's the point of living, I really hate myself for being worthless."

Baoyu thought of the scene when he and Baochai first met, and felt even more depressed. That sister Bao was dignified and generous, and she treated everyone very well, and she couldn't find any reason.But when he was looking for her to play with, he had a smile on his face, but his attitude was neither cold nor indifferent. Baoyu didn't think much of it at first, but later when he saw her getting along with Sister Lin and Yingchun, she was so warm and amiable. Only then did I realize that I was despised by others.How could he not be sad, he thought that this family finally had a sister who could take care of him, but ended up being rejected, all hopes were lost, sad.

Seeing Baoyu's grievances, Xue Pan tried to comfort him: "But it's true? My sister is playing tricks? When I go back, talk to her!"

"Brother Xue, please don't, it's all because I'm not good, and Sister Bao is the best. If you go back and say it like this, won't she hate me even more, and think of me as a bitch who complains." Baoyu tugged at Xue Pan's arm and sniffled.

Xue Pan nodded, suddenly heard a sneer from above his head, Xue Pan thought the tone was familiar, shivered, looked up, but was surprised.

Brother Lian!

Jia Lian glared at Xue Pan, stunned to suppress Xue Pan's words that should have been called out.

"It seems that you still have self-knowledge." Jia Lian said to Baoyu.

Now apart from the bridegroom officer, Jia Lian is the focus of attention.His words were not too loud, just enough to attract the attention of everyone around, and everyone looked at Baoyu.

Baoyu's fat face was still covered with tears, and her eyes were red.Hearing Lian's second brother mocking himself as a woman made him feel even more uncomfortable, and tears fell down again.

Everyone: "..."

It is a taboo to shed tears at other people's wedding banquets.Fortunately, this child is not very old. If he is three or five years older, he will be left with gossip.

Baoyu also felt everyone's strange attention and was at a loss for a while.

Jia Lian picked him up, just using this as an excuse to fend off those who were toasting, and hurriedly took Baoyu away with an angry elder brother.Xue Pan also followed, since he didn't know anyone at the banquet anyway.

"Second Brother Lian, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been unable to control my tears at Brother Rong's wedding banquet." Baoyu hurriedly apologized first, fearing that Jia Lian would punish him for this.

Baoyu walked in a hurry and was out of breath.

Jia Lian frowned and looked at him, then patted his thick shoulder, "You seem to be getting fat again."

"Is there?" Baoyu panicked, really afraid that people would mention him as fat, and he would become anxious when he was mentioned.

Xue Pan hurriedly nodded in agreement: "I was always embarrassed to say, brother Bao, you are really too fat now."

Three "too", Baoyu directly black face.

"I want to lose weight back to my original shape! In the past, the sisters and the maids all loved to play with me, but now... I really want to lose weight. But I couldn't help my mouth, There is no way to control it at all." Baoyu recalled his handsome appearance back then, lowered his head in low self-esteem, looked at his thick thighs and arms, and cried again.

Jia Lian: "Appearance is indeed important, but people who really love you, they should not be alienated and indifferent to you because of your appearance. There are good and bad people in people's hearts. You couldn't tell the difference when you were good-looking before, but now you can see clearly. ?”

Baoyu panicked, staring at Jia Lian stupidly as if struck by lightning.It wasn't until he realized Jia Lian's point of view that he realized the truth about a Chiguoguo...

"A man's face depends on his skin, and your appearance will affect your body sooner or later. Should you try to lose weight?" Jia Lian asked earnestly.

Baoyu: "But I really—"

"No, but if you want to lose weight, you have to make up your mind. Tell me, do you have the determination?" Jia Lian stared at Baoyu with a straight face, like a teacher.

Baoyu stood up straight and silently nodded at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian: "Then listen to my arrangement, leave this house, stay away from temptation, and refuse sweets."

"But where am I going? Will old ladies and wives agree?"

"It's natural to want a name that neither of them can stop, such as reading." Jia Lian turned to look at Baoyu. I take care of you."

After all, Jia Lian left.

Xue Pan quickly followed, grinning and echoing Jia Lian's approach.

Baoyu stared at the back of Lian's second brother who was getting further and further away, and didn't dare to hesitate any longer, thinking that if he didn't agree, second brother Lian would never talk to him again in the future.So fat, he must make up his mind to lose weight!

"Second brother, wait for me, I promise, I promise you!" Bao Yu hurried after him.

……

"What, you want Baoyu to go to Zhuangzi to study? That Zhuangzi, what book are you reading?" When Jia Mu heard this, she became excited.Her darling is only so big, she just needs to study well at home, and what to do when she goes out to study.

"Old ancestor, I beg you to help your grandson. On the one hand, the grandson wants to find a secluded place to concentrate on studying. In the future, he will be an official in the imperial examination and honor his ancestors like Lian's second brother. On the other hand, the grandson wants to be self-disciplined and get rid of the fat on his body." ” Baoyu asked Ying on his own initiative.

"Good boy, it's better to be fatter, fatter and stronger." Jia's mother hugged Baoyu distressedly, but the child was too fat to hold her.Mother Jia pondered for a moment, seeing Mrs. Wang who had a different expression, she nodded and agreed, "Since you are going to find a secluded place to study and improve, then my wife shouldn't trip you up. Go, go. , everything will be arranged by your second brother Lian, so I can rest assured."

Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to say anything, and she had already heard that Jia Lian had decided to send her son to Jia Amnesty's training camp, and three teachers would go with her.

leave tomorrow!

Madam Wang's tears came down immediately, "The master will be back in about ten days and a half months, at least he will leave after his father comes back after his term of office is over."

"No." Jia Lian immediately vetoed it.
