Chapter 175 Good News
In Rongguo Mansion, after hearing the gossip about the Jia family from outside, Jia’s mother couldn’t react for a long time.
Although the eldest daughter-in-law should be stronger in many aspects, this family gave out a dowry and a box of silver...
Baoyu and his wife in Xifu, She only had three thousand taels of silver to marry. Are Shen and You doing this to tell her that the East Mansion is much richer than the West Mansion?
Jia Mu knew that due to the small number of people in Dongfu, the only prodigal Zhen'er was noticed again. In addition, there were only married-in wives and no married-out girls. The two generations came down. There is money here, but with the two of them doing this, why does it make her feel so uncomfortable?
Alas~
The old lady couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"Old lady, the eldest lady of Dongfu is here."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Ning had already arrived, "Auntie~"
The way she smiled made her laugh. The old lady was speechless.
"Oh, aunt, have you heard the news from outside?"
Shen Ning approached the old lady and said with a smile: "Look, do you also want to give something to your great-grandson-in-law?" Something?”
Jia Mu: “…”
I knew it was nothing good.
She pointed at her head and said, "Say it, as long as you can make me happy."
Although Qin is the daughter-in-law of Dongfu, as the ancestor of the Jia family, Shen and You both gave her away, so she didn't show any expression at all, which was very ugly.
"Haha!"
Shen Ning smiled and sat next to the old lady, "Does saving your niece-in-law's life count?"
"...It counts! "
Jia Mu smiled and rolled her eyes, "What else?"
Shen Ning did not speak immediately. She waved her hands to all the maids in the room and motioned them all to go out. Then she said softly next to the old lady: "She is the daughter of the prince who was left outside."
What? ?
The old lady was so shocked that she almost stood up, "Really?"
"Yes!"
Shen Ning nodded, "That's why Zhen'er was called into the palace that day. ." She raised her finger and pointed at it, "Because it was difficult to recognize, so I pointed it to Brother Rong."
Others may not tell, but this old lady must tell her.
If the old lady is not happy, Qin Keqing will not think well of marrying her.
Some people act based on the look in this old lady’s eyes.
Shen Ning didn't want to cause trouble for her family, so she might as well give the old lady a break.
“That day, I actually just tried to find a way to go out and get to know her, then tell her that I liked her and let Brother Rong marry her.”
Jia Mu: "..."
A lot of information.
She is really... very impressed!
"You kid, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Jia Mu patted her back and asked worriedly, "Other than the Supreme Emperor, does the Emperor know about this?"< br>
"I know."
Shen Ning nodded, "The Emperor and the Emperor met with Zhen'er that day."
"Okay! Okay, okay..."
Jia Mu, don't worry. .
Now that their family is regarded as the ministers transferred to the Emperor safely by the Supreme Emperor, no more accidents can happen.
"Then I will also give it to Qin..."
"Don't give me any money."
Shen Ning stopped him with a smile.
Although Yuanchun was not in the palace, Jia She did not spend money in anger, and Jia Zheng also dismissed Qingke Xianggong. The West Mansion did not have any big expenses, but after all, the West Mansion did not have more children than the East Mansion.
“Give the Qin family a pair of the jade Ruyi you kept, and let her enjoy the blessing of your old lord.”
"..."
Mother Jia loves to hear this.
She has a smooth life.
Although things have gotten a little worse in old age, now I see the Jia family getting up again.
The most incompetent grandson Jia Lian is already on duty in the Arsenal Department. In the future, Pearl will be admitted to the official position... and the Jia family will have a smooth transformation.
This was what the Duke wanted to see the most.
"Come here!"
She called to the maid, "Go and get my jade box."
Back then, Ning and Rong Gong followed Tai. The ancestors fought from the south to the north and established Dazhao, and the good things they got went to the sea.
It has only been a few years since Yuanchun entered the palace...
Thinking of those fascinating years, Jia Mu suddenly sighed, "Bring me my golden phoenix inlaid with rubies and my jade bracelet with rubies."
If Shen hadn't brought Yuanchun back, now we would be here Their family is still filling the palace with money.
“Auntie, there are many.”
“No more, no more, Brother Rong is my first great-grandson.”
It’s hard to recognize someone who is married to a royal family The Qin family who came back felt wronged.
Others can't do it for them, they have to do it themselves.
"When you finish the list of betrothal gifts, bring it over and let me take a look."
"Hey~"
Shen Ning agreed immediately.
“Also, since you have determined that Mrs. Qin is your grandson’s wife, have you ever thought about letting her in early?”
ah?
Shen Ning was stunned.
Brother Rong is only twelve years old.
"The Qin family is from a small family, what can you teach her?"
Jia Mu said: "It is better to let her get married early. The children will not suffer, and so can you and You. Teach some.”
"..."
Shen Ning thought about the possibility of this matter.
Qin Ye is a fifth-rank official after all, and it is impossible to endure hardship.
But in the eyes of the powerful, his official was poor haha.
Qin Ye's external performance is indeed that of a poor Beijing official.
In the Red Mansion, when he asked Qin Zhong to study in the Jia family, the gifts he gave Jia Dairu were patchwork.
But when Qin Zhong died, he was still thinking about the thousands of taels of silver his father had given him.
“Are you afraid that Qin Ye won’t agree?”
Seeing that she didn’t answer for a long time, Jia Mu couldn’t help but ask.
“That’s not true.”
Shen Ning shook her head.
To be able to offer such conditions, Qin Ye undoubtedly loves his children.
In the Red Mansion, it can only be said that a pair of children were entrusted with wrongdoings.
The Jia family and the Qin family are related, so the Jia family must have confirmed Qin Keqing's identity.
Otherwise, Mother Jia wouldn’t be able to say that Qin Keqing is the number one great-grandson’s daughter-in-law.
If you say you don't know..., only Qin Keqing doesn't know.
When she died...
Thinking of the funeral where many princes paid their condolences, Shen Ning felt that everyone knew her identity.
It’s just that it’s not described in the book.
"Master Qin is a good man. He should know how to choose to be better for his daughter."
If you really don't agree, then just say that as long as Qin Keqing marries in, Qin Zhong can study in the Jia family.
Shen Ning felt that this alone was enough to make the father and daughter's hearts flutter.
"I was just thinking that if I do this, outsiders may say that Qin is a child bride."
"...Don't worry!"
Jia Mu looks at it He glanced at Shen Ning and said meaningfully: "With you here, no one dares to say that about her."
...
In Shoukang Palace, the Supreme Emperor was reading the excerpts from Northern Xinjiang.
As he watched, his hands began to shake.
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor. Jiang Yu, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, fortunately has fulfilled his duty and hereby presents this good news to the emperor. On the night of August 28, the Tatar reinforcements arrived in Hetao with arrogance. , trying to invade our Joksha territory again, but the Ningxia soldiers and reinforcements are the same enemy With an iron-blooded will, he bravely killed the enemy. After several days of fierce fighting, he finally defeated the enemy army, beheaded 23 enemy generals, killed 2,467 enemy soldiers, and captured 1,272 enemy soldiers. More than 4,000 horses and countless weapons and grains were seized..."
This is a win, a win!
The Hetao that year returned to Dazhao again.
The spirits of the father and the prince in heaven should not blame him anymore.
The Supreme Emperor then looked down at Jiang Yu's deployment of the Hetao, fearing that this hard-won victory would cause the Tatars to reverse course again.
It is a natural horse breeding land.
This is the most lacking place in Dazhao.
The Tatars keep an eye on that place every time, just because they don't want Dazhao to have the same high-quality war horses as them.
Without good war horses, even if Jozhao's army reaches the grassland, there will be nothing they can do against their team that seems to come and go like the wind.
“Quickly, get the map!”
When the Supreme Emperor urgently called for the map, he didn’t expect that the emperor who had sent the book had already asked the eunuchs to hold up the map of Ningxia, waiting for him look. "Father!"
The emperor's smile was particularly sincere, "Congratulations on taking back the Hetao! My son has already seen General Xia's deployment of the Hetao. How about my son explaining it to you?"
The Supreme Emperor: "..."
He looked at the son who had helped him wash away his shame, and nodded slowly, "Okay, you say it, and I listen."
The Loop is not only his, but also this son's.
They belong to Dazhao.
The father and son were having an excited exchange in the hall, but they didn't know that Princess Zhen on the other side had received news from outside even though she was in the small Buddhist hall.
Sitting there, she wished she had a map that would allow her to take a good look at the north and south.
The war in the north will also affect the south.
If the north is stable, there will be no fight in the south.
But all she could guess was the Emperor’s thoughts, the Emperor’s...
Concubine Zhen felt that as soon as the north was stable, the emperor would be full of energy and immediately take action towards the south.
The Emperor is old and although he has lost his energy, the Emperor is very good at deceiving people.
If he attributes the great victory in the north to the Supreme Emperor, then it is possible that the Supreme Emperor will take action in the south as he wishes.
After all, he still wanted to see Taizu and the prince after death.
His~
If she takes action in the south, then her son...
Tiffany Zhen’s head hurts.
My son was really spoiled by her.
He can't beat the King of Nan'an.
If the emperor was more ruthless, he would probably use King Nan'an to get rid of her son.
When the time comes, he will punish King Nan'an again...
Concubine Zhen was walking around in the small Buddhist hall.
She suspected that the emperor arranged for Wang Ziteng to go to the south just to capture her son and the King of Nan'an when they both suffered losses.
What to do?
Can my son come back?
The Supreme Emperor Chrysostom’s imperial words are not easy to break!
Unless...
Concubine Zhen stopped and slowly took off her little sweater.
My son is pampered and walks so slowly that even if he reaches the south, he will not be able to do well.
It is better not to go than to do that.
Concubine Zhen, who was only wearing her middle coat, opened a crack in front of the window.
......
The news of the great victory in Hetao finally suppressed the strange incident of Jia Jiajia's ten thousand liang betrothal gift.
Shen Ning also received Lan Zhi’s letter.
The Loop is very difficult to fight.
The Tatars increased their troops from time to time.
Fortunately, this time the emperor gave away money, goods and people.
All parties provided timely assistance, and there was even occasional surplus.
Otherwise, even if we capture the Loop, we will not be able to hold it.
Now the reinforcements from all parties have become the defenders of Hetao, and the Tatars do not dare to move anymore because of the Rakshasa Kingdom further north.
Shen Ning felt comfortable everywhere when she saw Lan Zhi's repeated thanks to the Jia family for the medicinal materials.
Good steel should be used on the blade.
Of course good medicinal materials should be sent to the places where they are most needed.
"Mother!"
Jia Zhen smiled and said, "When General Jiang returns to Beijing to report on his duties, Cousin Lan is afraid that he will come back, and my son will pick her up in person."
His mother has been thinking about Cousin Lan ever since she met her once.
Cousin Min heard that there was another cousin who was so powerful, so she struggled with Jiao Da many times to learn martial arts.
I also specially asked Uncle Pardon.
Forced Uncle Shen to treat him to drinks twice.
In the past, a little girl would definitely be scolded.
But now...
Jia Zhen is afraid of all her cousins at home.
Every one of them could not be beaten, scolded or scolded, and he had to walk around them.
"Why do I need you to pick her up? Can't I go myself?"
Shen Ning put down the letter, "By the way, there is still no news about the female instructor you asked to find?"
"I've found it."
Jia Zhen said: "It's someone from the Mighty Escort Agency, but she has to go to her hometown. She said that since she wants to teach people, she has to take her two nieces with her. ."
"...As long as you have real ability, you can do whatever you want."
Shen Ning nodded.
She needs a girl who knows how to do martial arts.
My daughter will also need it in the future.
"There are also muskets..., have you bought them?"
"Not yet!"
Jia Zhen shook her head, "Several missionaries in the capital have sons. I went to ask for it, but two of them had their muskets taken away by Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Works, and one person disagreed. "
According to his past temper, he would have been annoyed.
People have long been forced to use force in secret.
But now...
Look at his mother, I don’t dare!
Xing'er and the others are all afraid of his mother.
Those who are all cowards...
Jia Zhen felt that if her mother gave her a little scare, they could pour beans into the bamboo tube and sell him out.
At that time...
Jia Zhen felt that she would not survive.
"Master Chen from the Ministry of Industry?"
Shen Ning didn't know what the good man was thinking.
Pay attention to Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Works who bought the missionary's musket.
Eh, Ministry of Industry~
"Is it Chen Jingpeng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
"Yes!"
Jia Zhen nodded.
He looked at his mother and suddenly remembered something, "Mother, are you saying that the Ministry of Works is also studying those missionary muskets?"
If so, then he... would be relieved.
"Probably!"
Shen Ning nodded slowly, "When Lian'er comes back, ask him to come over."
Ask his son who is not in the court, She might as well ask her nephew.
Jia Lian may have been contacted.
In other words, the place where the Ministry of Industry manufactures muskets has been researched.
Shen Ning has great hopes for this.
"He...should be back soon."
Jia Zhen said, "How about my son go and have a look?"
He knew how anxious his mother was about the musket.
“Go!”
Shen Ning nodded, “Ask the Ministry of Industry about the situation, especially the situation with the muskets.”
Just a reminder, there may be a breakthrough soon sexual progress.
What she made can’t be wasted!
After watching her elder son leave, Shen Ning couldn't sit still and walked around the room.
There is no peace anywhere.
The Red Mansion is also not peaceful.
Otherwise, Shi Xiangyun’s general Gonggongwei would not have died fighting in the south.
It’s just that the author didn’t write much about the war.
She...
Shen Ning was very anxious.
Who is in power in Rakshasa Kingdom now?
Is it expanding?
The Tatars can no longer fight with Jokhang because of them. Does that mean that they have already started fighting in the north?
If so...
Shen Ning took out the map that Jia Jing had copied and didn't move it for a long time.
