[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 74

Every family has a few bad relatives, but the Jia family has a little more than others. Except for the Lin family, other relatives, whether they are distant relatives or close relatives, are all bad relatives.

When Jia Lian came back from the yamen and heard Mei Xiruo talk about Mrs. Zhen's visit, he could only laugh wryly at himself.

In the previous life of the Jia family, there was another major crime of ransacking the house. Wasn't the wife of the second room, Mrs. Wang, taking property from the Zhen family?But having said that, is it possible that Jia Shishi is really ignorant of this?But at that time, the Rongguo Mansion was really out of ammunition and food, so she just turned a blind eye.

Fortunately, the Second Household and the Jia Shi family have nothing to do with the Ronghou Mansion in this life. If the Wang family dares to accept the Zhen family's things this time, let's see who she finds to top her tank, is it still Wang Xifeng?Now that Wang Xifeng and Jia Zhu are just like honey, can Wang be so cruel to his nephew and daughter-in-law?

Shaking his head, Jia Lian stopped thinking about it.Stretching out his hand to hold Mei Xiruo's hand, he said earnestly, "Thank you, Xiruo."

Thinking about it, I know what kind of temperament Jia Shi's niece would have. Shi Xiangyun, who is still well-versed in poetry and books, is full of milk and flattery. How good can this Mrs. Zhen be?What's more, there is still a gap between the direct branch and the side branch. Although Mei Xiruo is not well-known, she is a talented woman. As a talented woman, how much can she have in common with this Mrs. Zhen?

"Husband is wrong again. Husband and wife are one body. This is what I should do." Mei Xiruo smiled lightly, her eyebrows curved, "If you want me to say, it's because of your hard work." She said, He sighed softly and shook his head.

The arc of Jia Lian's lips froze, and then she stretched out her hand, viciously but lightly, to pinch her fat-skinned cheek: "You are narrow-minded, are you trying to make fun of your husband?" Mei Xi Ruo said He understands the deep meaning of it, so he has to comfort his relative in his heart again. It is unavoidable.

"No, I'm really complaining for my husband from the bottom of my heart." Mei Xiruo shook Jia Lian's calloused hand with both hands, "If it wasn't for my grandfather knowing something by accident, my husband said now Maybe he's still working hard in the capital."

Jia Daishan split the clan and split the family before his death. Although this is just a private matter of the Jia family, no one with a little discernment knows what is going on.Jia Shishi was sent to the second bedroom by Jia Daishan when the family was separated, even though Jia Shishi himself asked Jia Daishan to make arrangements behind it, there was nothing wrong with it.

After Situ Yuan revealed through Empress Mei that Mei Xiruo would be allocated to Jia Lian, the Mei family's attention to the Jia family immediately rose to the point of emphasis, and the Mei family basically knew everything about the Jia family.With the backing of the royal family, Jia Daishan couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

If it weren't for Jia Lian's personal excellence, Jia Amnesty would not be as unreliable as the previous rumors, and Jia Daishan decisively cut off all the factors that were not conducive to the Rongguo Mansion. Mei Yi would not agree with Mei Xiruo and Jia Lian in the end. marriage.

Jia Lian knew all this.Although he and Mei Xiruo can be regarded as a political marriage, they really have a crush on each other and want to spend a lifetime together.Hearing what Mei Xiruo said, Jia Lian couldn't help but sigh again, thinking of his muddled past life and Jia Baoyu's status as a fairy.

It's not bad for the Jia family to kill themselves, but the Fairy Jing Huan made arrangements like this to let Jia Baoyu survive in the world of mortals... In the end, the three families of Jia Linxue completely disappeared in history.

"Xiruo, I'm actually very grateful to them." Jia Lian's eyes drooped, hiding the coldness in his eyes, "If it weren't for their threat, I wouldn't dare to slack off, and I wouldn't have the achievements I have now. I don't want to be They were dragged into hell together, and had to work their way out of it."

Mei Xiruo opened and closed her red lips several times, and finally leaned over, resting her head on his shoulder, warming him with her own body temperature.The comfort of words is too pale, and Jia Lian who has come to this day does not need these.What she has to do now is to try her best to establish a good relationship with Mrs. Zhen and find out what is wrong with the Zhen family. It would be even better if she can find a way to get the account books of the Zhen family.

For Jia Lian, Mei Xiruo, who has always been kind, also stands firm.She knew what would happen to the members of the Zhen family if they were found out about the crimes committed by the Zhen family. People in power in the Zhen family like Zhen Yingjia did deserve their crimes, but there are still so many girls in the Zhen family who don't know...

Thinking of the third miss of the Zhen family who came with Mrs. Zhen today and sweetly called her sister, Mei Xiruo's heart trembled.A lady from a great family ends up being an official slave or even an official prostitute. For a woman, this is the most terrible end.

But, who let them enjoy the glory and wealth of the Zhen family.

"Don't worry, Xi Ruo, it's impossible for Mrs. Zhen to stay in Yangzhou for too long. Zhen Yingjia is in charge of weaving in the south of the Yangtze River." Jia Lian put aside the bad relatives and said with a smile, "Even if the Jia family and the Zhen family are old relatives, he It’s okay to visit me personally, but it’s not good if it takes a long time to attract any changes.”

Mei Xiruo frowned lightly: "Husband, what did Master Zhen tell you today?"

"Aren't you just like his wife, thinking of ways to build a relationship with me, but he hasn't revealed his intention yet." Jia Lian's peachy eyes narrowed slightly, "It's like I really don't know his plan. The Yanzheng has been in the hands of my uncle. Here, Zhen Yingjia can't get in the way at all. Isn't I, a stunned young man who just went south, the best choice for him to break the situation."

Controlling salt merchants and salt administration are completely different concepts. No matter how arrogant those salt merchants are, they have to find a way to get salt from Lin Ruhai.Private salt can make money, but if it is not done well, it will be a matter of losing one's head. Jia Lian believes that the Zhen family will not touch it unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Then what is your husband going to do, do you just ignore him?" Mei Xiruo inquired about Jia Lian's intentions.If Jia Lian chose the latter, what she just thought would not be implemented.

"In order not to startle the snake, why don't you take it easy?" Jia Lian smiled wryly.Even though he has grown rapidly, there is still a difference between theory and reality. It is really not that easy for him to deal with an old fox who is about the same level as Zhen Yingjia and Lin Ruhai.

If Meixi hadn't said anything, she would have understood Jia Lian's meaning.

Zhen Yingjia and his wife left Yangzhou and returned to Jinling three days later. Jia Lian took the opportunity of going to the government office to meet Lin Ruhai and finally made a plan.

Due to the complete elimination of Jurchen's aftermath, the number of troops stationed in northern Xinjiang has been reduced year after year.The Daqing Dynasty followed the military household system of the previous dynasty. These soldiers who retired from the battlefield were either transferred to other armies, or were arranged to farm, or went home to be replaced by another male soldier.

On this day, six burly men came to Jia Lian's mansion. Mei Xiruo received them as the hostess, and immediately sent someone to the Yamen to inform Jia Lian.

To say that the biggest advantage of being sent out compared to working in the capital is freedom. The time for rest and bathing in the capital is set in advance. Yamen has little to do with it.

Jia Lian, who was notified, rushed back. The black-faced man who was the leader of the six had a scar on his face. The scar stretched directly from the center of his eyebrows to his chin, which was enough to show the seriousness of the injury at that time.This person is obviously the captain of Jia Lian's pioneer scout team when he was in northern Xinjiang - Che Jin.

Jia Lian laughed and went forward to hug a few people, and then invited them to sit down: "I have been looking forward to a few brothers in Yangzhou for many days, and finally I am looking forward to them!"

Che Jin smiled boldly: "Master Hou, what you said is wrong. If you hadn't said that you would send us down, you and I would have to go to southern Xinjiang."

Compared with the coldness in northern Xinjiang, the terrain in southern Xinjiang is complex, there are many ethnic minorities, and there are many miasma and poisonous insects.Soldiers like them, who are only active at the bottom and are used to northern Xinjiang, feel terrible just hearing about southern Xinjiang.

Jia Lian noticed the slight wrinkles in the corners of the eyes of several people. Although the weather-beaten faces were still proud, they were much older than a few years ago.Che Jin and the others were still in their thirties, and they looked much older than his father, Jia She, who lived in the capital for more than 30 years.

According to their age, it is normal to be a father. Even if the child is younger, he should be about the same age as his sister Jia Teng, but these few people are not even at home.Basically, military households can only intermarry between them, and ordinary people are generally not willing to marry their daughters into military households, unless the family is really struggling to survive.

Therefore, Jia Lian is still very confident about completely recovering these people.Since Emperor Longxu approved his letter request, and allocated these people to his side, he agreed to let these people also become his personal soldiers.Compared with Che Jin and the soldiers who have been on the battlefield and are at the forefront, the former soldiers of the Ronghou Mansion... don't mention it.

The rewards given to Jia Lian by the system are also related to the method of military training, but no matter how good this method of military training is, he dare not use it at all, not even to train the soldiers of Rongguo Mansion.Jia's family was born as a general, and he managed to transform successfully. If he continues to mess with this, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse!

Besides, although the special forces training method is very powerful, Jia Lian also feels that it is not suitable for the Daqing Dynasty.Those high-intensity exercises, in his opinion, few soldiers could survive without internal strength.But he has practiced inner strength for so many years, and he has never met another person who practiced inner strength.

Jia Lian is very confident in his military ability. If there is a team of 20 people with everyone at his level, it would be scary to think about it.What he wants to be is a powerful minister, not an emperor.He needs to protect himself, but he does not need to change the dynasty.

"It's also because of your own ability that I will write a letter to the saint." After getting along with these big men for more than two years, Jia Lian knew their temperament, so he went straight to the point, "If you have no ability, why should I spend so much effort, you guys Say it?"

There was a brief silence in the hall, and then Che Jin stood up and took a few steps to Jia Lian, clasping his fists and saluting: "Although Hou Ye has become a Hou Ye, his temper is still straightforward! Li Nianbaishan and I are not young. Well, even if the martial arts are not bad, but the body is not much better than before. Since the Marquis values ​​it, it is natural to do a good job for the Marquis!"

The other five big men also laughed and said.

"The boss is right. I sold all my hundred catties to Lord Hou."

"Hou Ye helped us a lot when we were in Beijiang, and he helped us a lot this time."

"..."

"..."

Jia Lian looked at the six hot-blooded men with a smile, and became more confident in dealing with the Zhen family.
