Jia Minqi's family in the Red Chamber

Uncle Xu Qian is sincere to his nephew, there is no doubt - besides, what is there in Jia Lian that is worthy of being a third-rank official?

It has been more than half a month, and no one is alive or dead. Sister Feng is furious, but she will not lose her mind no matter what: she will not blame Uncle Xu Qian.

Ever since her father lost his job, the tens of thousands of silver he had saved were all fined and his uncle Wang Ziteng didn't say a word. Sister Feng finally realized that if there is money but no official, how much property will have to be taken away sooner or later.

Uncle couldn't count on it, and parents couldn't get a foothold in the capital and had to go back to Jinling. Sister Feng leaned on her husband Jia Lian wholeheartedly: what's more, Jia Lian was no longer a donated official who could never fill the real shortage, but a serious one. With high quality and a position of real power, and with his uncle and uncle taking care of him, the second master's future is better than his own father's.

Unlike the previous life, with Jia Zhu as an example, Jia Lian resumed contact with his uncle early, and then went to appointments with his younger sister Yuan Chun, and heard all kinds of gossip from his brother-in-law Yin Ze.

Jia Lian's father and uncle both walked through the Sun family's doorstep, but the Sun family said it would fall, so Jia Lian had the idea of ​​hiding away as soon as possible: he is more self-aware than his father and his uncle, and he knows that he doesn't know when he will be in the capital. When a big wave came over, my family died without a place to bury them.

Grandpa Sun Ding You saved face, he was honored by Grandpa Sun, and he was protected by the status of Uncle Prince. It is said that his family paid more than one million silver in order to get rid of crimes. In the future, I will think of Fude and wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne.

As for the official who Kaizi attached to the Sun family, several of them have been copied!Jia Lian thought about it again, is it lucky that his uncle Jia Zheng only lost his official position?I hope it will not settle accounts after autumn.

Anyway, Jia Lian took this opportunity to completely wake up, what is his family's position in the capital now.

However, on the way to take office, my younger sister Yuan Chun sent a letter, saying that Uncle Yin Hong had already inquired about it, and the punishment for Rong Mansion ended here, so the second brother can feel at ease.

After running to the southwest, Jia Lian hurriedly found a chance to have a chat with his uncle Haosheng.

Uncle Xu Qian is also optimistic that the two brothers will stay away from right and wrong, and concentrate on accumulating political achievements. When they return to Beijing, at least they will have the confidence to deal with the storm...

How could Jia Lian not understand what this storm refers to?The older princes have their own challenges, so why not fight?

Jia Lian, who wanted to understand, really put his heart into his errands, determined to revive the prestige of Rongfu.

The reason why I say this is because of Jia Lian's too hard work.When a new official arrives in office, he must hand over to his predecessor first, and then he has to spend some time to find out the details, especially his colleagues and superiors.

My uncle is in charge of all affairs, and my uncle is the governor of Shaanxi Province. Even if Jia Lian's wealth does not allow Jia Lian to travel sideways in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, most people will not think of him in a leisurely manner.

In other words, it is not ordinary people who dare to torment him.

However, there are roughly two types of experiences in the experience department, one is responsible for managing military supplies and salaries, and the other is the staff or military advisers of the generals.

Jia Lian was undoubtedly the latter. His uncle Xu Qian, who was in charge of military affairs, was one of the military officers in charge of military training.

So after identifying his colleagues in Zuo Jin, he took the mission to investigate a defender nestled in the forest.There are many mountains and forests in the southwest, and many Tu nationality villagers live in the mountains.

In particular, several chieftains and patriarchs who were like the emperor of the land have not stopped at all by virtue of their favorable location and people.

Therefore, it is very necessary to build fortresses in the mountains and garrison guards.

Garrisoning in the fort is actually a hard job, and the defense is not too frequent, but at least officials like Jia Lian will visit and condolence in person every other month, sending supplies and bringing some novelties to the sergeants.

In view of the generous salary and the fact that they will be promoted if there is no accident after they are stationed, the sergeants stationed are quite able to bear it.

And Jia Lian stayed in the fortress of the garrison for three days, so he should go back to report after completing the errand... It was on the way back that he and his entourage and subordinates, about thirty or so, all disappeared.

When Xu Qian knew that his nephew was missing, five days had passed: someone deliberately concealed the delay, so he didn't have time to take care of it. Instead, he rescued his nephew first.

He didn't dare to delay for a moment and reported immediately.When the commander in charge of the garrison and defenders in a province heard about it, he immediately tightened his strings: The chieftains at the place where Jia Lian disappeared have never been very honest!

So the scouts immediately left the camp and searched around between the garrison, the fort and the camp where the capital commander was.It is said that the scouts under Commander Du's command are real elite soldiers: these are all veterans who have been outside the Northwest Pass for many years and can still retreat unscathed.

The scouts formed a small team, dispersed for three days, and found their traces... After confirming where Jia Lian and the others were locked up, the commanders immediately summoned people to discuss countermeasures: on the surface, they tried to replace them, but in fact they were already locked up. Get ready for a storm.

Unfortunately, Jia Lian's uncle, Xu Qian, was also of the tough side, and he preferred to beat him up before sitting down to talk.

Of course, the strong attack may have been damaged, so Xu Qian wrote a letter before the action, telling Lin Hai and Jia Min and his wife.As for informing his brother-in-law Jia Amnesty, Xu Qian simply didn't bother to tell his brother-in-law, he couldn't be of much help anyway.

Just when Xu Qian sent someone out to deliver the letter, his wife pushed the door open and entered the study, "Master, my niece and daughter-in-law are popular!"

The nephew has been missing for less than a month. If there is an accident, there can be no accidents in the stomach of the nephew and daughter-in-law!When Xu Qian's daughter-in-law came over, she just let her know, and after she finished speaking, she went back and continued to guard the niece and daughter-in-law.

Xu Qian knew that he couldn't help at this time, so he hurriedly called the messenger back, tore off the last page, wrote another page, and ordered someone to send it out.

Fortunately, traveling from Guizhou in the southwest to Chang'an in the northwest is much more convenient than going to the capital.Even so, when Lin Hai and Jia Min received this letter, Jia Lian had been missing for more than a month, and Sister Feng's pregnancy was not good...

Jia Min was very worried, and waited for another three days, but when no follow-up news came, her worry gradually turned into anxiety.

Not only was the daughter-in-law a little restless, but also his nephew Jia Zhu had a bright red boil on his forehead. Lin Hai knew that he would not succeed unless he persuaded him, not to mention that he had other connections, so he heard something different. news of...

It was afternoon, and the winter sun was shining on the body, making people drowsy. But at this time, Jia Min was sitting alone in the room, with his head down, wondering what to think.

Lin Hai sat next to her directly, "Speak out if you have something on your mind, and I can come up with an idea."

Jia Min raised his head abruptly, seeing that it was Lin Hai, he stroked his chest and let out a sigh of relief, "Scared me! I thought there was another bad news."

It is said that the Southwest has been uneasy these years. Jia Min has already seen it in Shuijing, but no matter how "uneasy" the Tu people in the Southwest are, they did not make any tricks. Within a year, several generals in the Southwest were pacified one after another.

Jia Min arranged for Brother Lian to go to the southwest, not only to let his uncle take care of him, but also to let this nephew take advantage of several battles in the southwest to accumulate military exploits so that he can be promoted quickly.

Brother Lian doesn't have any fame, if he doesn't have real achievements, he just wants to be an official step by step, and his hope of being promoted to the third rank is very slim.

Jia Min originally had good intentions, but how could he think of cheating his nephew?

Lin Hai didn't know that Jia Min had another adventure, but he guessed his daughter-in-law's mind, "Brother Lian will not blame you, and will be grateful to you in the future."

Jia Min raised her eyebrows, "What do you say?" She stretched out her hand and pinched Lin Hai's wrist, shaking it vigorously, "Master, what do you know, don't hesitate to tell me!"

Lin Hai didn't hold back, "Do you know that Jia Yu Village is now the county magistrate of Bijie?"

Jia Min was surprised and said, "Could it be that he also intervened? Is it okay to avenge yourself here?"

"Brother Lian is of a higher rank than him. Back then he couldn't even offend the Xue family. If no one ordered from above, how could he have the confidence to retaliate? Ha's revenge on Brother Lian, is Master Xu just a display?"

Daliang was not the former dynasty that used literature to control martial arts and finally destroyed the country.

The status of civil servants in this dynasty is really not that detached. Besides, if Jia Yucun had known about Jia Lian's disappearance on his territory and had not reported it, not to mention his future, his life might be in danger.After all, as Lin Hai said, Master Xu Qianxu is not a vegetarian.

Those who can achieve the third grade are all in command, Xu Qian has also been on the battlefield, and there are countless dead souls who have won, so why would you mind adding Jia Yucun?

Seeing that Jia Min changed his thoughtful expression after hearing the words, Lin Hai continued, "Commander Tongzhi of Guizhou is the disciple of Prince Zhongshun."

Jamin really didn't know about this.

The scene seen in the water mirror is the general trend of the future. As for the factions of the officials, it is quite good for Jia Min to remember the orientation and affiliation of those big figures, such as the princes and several elders.

In the previous life, the two elder brothers and nephews rarely left the capital. Even if King Zhongshun had a plan, he would easily have no chance. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, if King Zhongshun dared to mess around, he would be sorry for his reputation of being cautious and prudent.

Thinking of this, Jia Min couldn't help sneering, "Prince Zhongshun's mansion has been at odds with my family for three generations... It's just so promising, and it actually bullied my family's younger generation."

Zhongshun Prince's Mansion is not very prestigious now - that's right, this prince was not on the side of the sixth prince at the beginning, he and Wang Ziteng changed the court "halfway".Wang Ziteng abandoned the Sun family and was very close to the Rong family, generally speaking, it was because he was optimistic about the Sun family and the prince behind the Rong family; as for King Zhongshun, he had a close relationship with the fifth prince.

In all fairness, the sixth prince doesn't have much "real dragon spirit"... There are many more courtiers who are optimistic about his sickly second brother.Even the master Lin Hai is more inclined towards the second prince.

Lin Hai didn't know what his daughter-in-law was really thinking, so he just continued, "I guess the Guizhou commander Tongzhi wanted to make Brother Lian suffer, but he also regrets the situation now."

Jia Min said: "His master has no disobedience."

Lin Hai smiled and said: "I didn't pay attention before, this time I just wrote a letter to the same subject I met in the academy..." He deliberately paused, "I just realized that the fifth prince has spent a lot of time in the southwest. The commander is easily swayed No, but it is also very easy to bribe officials who have reached the level of commanding Tongzhi and Qianshi."

Lin Haizuo, Mr. Zhou Ge, and his family are mostly from the south, and few people go to the Southwest to be an official. Therefore, they don't know the situation in the Southwest well, and naturally ignore the fifth prince. The fifth prince seems to have more thoughts, but wants to be As the king of a country, conspiracies and tricks will never come to the fore, and it will not be easy to win people's hearts.

Zhou Ge is always a traditional scholar-bureaucrat with a gentleman's style. He has never been used to the behavior of the fifth prince. His attitude has directly affected his students.

Jia Min could hear the master's subtext, "Master, do you want to remind Mr. Zhou as soon as possible?"

"When Brother Lian comes back, I still need him to help."

The master's attitude of being sure of Lian's brother's safety really made Jia Min calm down quickly.

The fact is the same, the next day Jia Min received two letters from Xu Qian and Jia Lian.Brother Lian was successfully rescued by his own uncle, but with a broken leg.

Jia Lian felt lucky, thinking that he would never see the light of day again... He knew everything in the letter.

The reason is very simple, just a word, he ran into a caravan with Sidi people in the team.

People from Xidi have high noses and deep eyes, and their appearance is too different from those from Daliang. If you only catch a glimpse of half a face, you won't admit it.In addition, Southwest produces iron...

Seeing this, not to mention Jia Min, even Lin Hai's face was very ugly.
