Normally no one would pay attention to what happened inside the Jia family, but who made the Jia family have a falling out with Wang Ziteng because of the Lan family.
If Prince Teng is still idle at home, not many people will care, but he is now the general of Zhennan.
Although he had not been in the south for a long time, he fought a good battle as soon as he arrived there. While stabilizing the situation in the south, it also demonstrated the strength of Jokhang.
I don't know how many times stronger than Prince Nan'an.
In the past few years, everyone in the court had a headache whenever they saw the news about Prince Nan'an.
In fact, this guy is not as good as his father and ancestors.
Not only was he unable to keep things under control in the south, he was also nepotistic.
The family fortune built by two generations of old Nan'an kings may be completely destroyed by him in a few years.
You must know that King Nan'an is the King of Nan'an of Dazhao. If he is defeated like this..., doesn't he defeat their family fortune of Dazhao?
Not to mention the emperor, but the courtiers all want to bring him back, but unfortunately there has never been a good chance. Now...
Wang Ziteng's character is not very good, but he is still a capable minister.
But Lan Zhi, the only remaining girl in the Lan family...
Lanzhi should be the first to recover the Hetao area, the horse breeding land of Jokhang.
It's just that she is a woman and the granddaughter of the Jia family, so the credit should not be too great.
But as soon as she returned to Beijing, she accidentally rescued Mrs. Shen and Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion, and killed many Japanese pirates. Whatever she did, it was considered a meritorious service.
Several adults in the Ministry of War were quite controversial about her reward.
Everyone is waiting to see if she really wants to avenge her deceased family member.
If she even kills her uncle and aunt..., they have to think carefully about many things.
"Your Majesty!"
The elusive An Yi swung down from the beam of the Imperial Study Room and said very excitedly: "Master Lanzhi took revenge at Jia's house."
ah?
The emperor touched his chest and wanted to curse, but he really wanted to know how Lan Zhi got revenge, "Jia Zheng is dead?"
Jia Zheng is a useless hypocrite. To deal with such a person, just set him up.
Or maybe she should learn from Mrs. Shen!
After the emperor checked the Jia family, he was very speechless about Jia Zheng.
Lanzhi wants revenge, and there are many ways to make life worse than death.
But there is really going to be blood...
That would be tantamount to making a grudge.
"No, no."
Although he didn't see the drama first-hand, An Yi barely heard it second-hand.
Now when the emperor hears it, it is from the third hand.
"Mrs. Shen is feeling better today. Jia Zheng took the initiative to apologize while Master Lan was at her place..."
He heard it secretly from Aunt Zhao, Jia Zheng's concubine in Rongguo Mansion.
Aunt Zhao's two sons and daughters were involved, and Aunt Zhou, who had a barely good relationship with her, was also there to help supplement the situation.
Oops~~
It was a really great show.
The emperor was dumbfounded.
The heads of the Jia family and the two houses have actually wanted Jia Zheng to leave home for a long time, right?
"...Mrs. Shen asked her daughter who is only a few months old to sign and pledge it?"
"Hey, there is definitely no way to sign the signature."
An Yi smiled and said: "It was all the brothers and sisters of little girl Jia Yue who helped, including Jia Cong and Jia Huan later. Because they were young, the brothers and sisters above helped them sign. They only pressed their fingerprints."
“Oh~~~~~”
The emperor blinked.
That day when he was dealing with King Jin in Shoukang Palace, he took extra time and asked Dai Quan and several eunuchs to hold him down for a while.
Mrs. Shen asked three children who didn't understand anything to sign and sign. She actually wanted to torture Jia Zheng and Wang for a while, right?
"Then after Jia Zheng and Wang were beaten, did they really move outside the city to farm?"
Now in this weather, go out of the city and become ordinary people...
And if the buttocks are inconvenient, the Jia family may have to eat dinner again in less than three days.
"That's not true. They were beaten after all, and they are the real Jia family. Now, the Jia family has come forward to move the house to the Jia family to help the poor people transition."
An Yi said and laughed again, "It is said that it will last three days. During these three days, we will also prepare the thatched cottages and land for them to use. I heard what the old men of the Jia family were saying about water tanks, pots, and hoes. Everything should be prepared.”
In order to listen to this, he made a special trip over.
Fortunately, the old men themselves also gossiped, and they kept saying that they were from the Jia family. In this weather, ordinary farmers had enough firewood to burn for a month.
"But Your Majesty, you don't know that the one who is most at risk is our Marquis Xinping."
Cheng Luo?
Why is Cheng Luo...
Thinking of his nephew's marriage to Yuanchun, the emperor hurriedly asked, "What happened to him?"
"In line with his duty as a son-in-law, the Marquis and the Jia Zhen brothers carried Jia Zheng and his wife to the transitional house. He said that since they couldn't make much money from farming and they couldn't help, they would let Jia Zheng live in the Jia family's house. I borrowed a few hundred dollars, bought some red paper, and wrote couplets for people. It was almost the Chinese New Year, and I wanted to write more auspicious words such as blessings and good harvests, so I could earn some money to buy food and salt. ”
Emperor: "..."
Is his nephew too good at getting along?
Why do you know everything?
He felt a little sorry for his nephew, so he asked, "Does Jia Zheng agree?"
"I agree!"
An Yi said: "It is said that the money for the doctor's appointment today was borrowed by Jia Zheng from the Jia family. There is no interest for half a year, but interest will still be paid after half a year."
Emperor: "..."
He heard that Jia Zhen was quite good at living.
"If Jia Zheng could really let go of everything and live a good life, that would be okay."
When the emperor said this, Shen Ning was looking at the list of items prepared by the clan for Jia Zheng and Wang.
The old men were also quite funny, they even wanted to give me a cow.
Haha~
A cow costs at least fifteen taels of silver.
"This won't work!"
Lan Zhi took the pen without hesitation.
Shen Ning did not object.
In Dream of Red Mansions, Daoxiang Village, where Li Wan lives, is very popular with Jia Zheng.
The layout and décor there mimic pastoral scenes, creating a sense of paradise.
Although Jia Zheng was dissatisfied with the manpower, he also said that he wanted to return to farming.
Well now, he is really going to be a farmer.
Hum~~~
Shen Ning recalled Daoxiang Village and seemed to remember that there was a well there.
If you don’t give me cattle, I’ll give you a well.
After all, he is the second master of the Jia family, and his butt is injured. It is unrealistic to ask him and Wang to carry water.
Shen Ning took the pen in Lan Zhi's hand and wrote a tic-tac-toe.
"Give it back to the well?"
Lanzhi was reluctant.
In the women's army, everyone got money and often said they wanted to add something to their family. This well... is not cheap.
Shen Ning patted her comfortingly, "You can't not give her your thoughts at all."
Her throat was still sore, so she spoke very slowly and quietly, "Lanzhi, you have to show your sincerity in giving them a way to survive. Only in this way, no one will say anything about you in the future."
"...Oh!"
Lan Zhi doesn't really care what others think of her. She relies on herself to get to where she is now.
But she couldn't help but care about her aunt's opinion.
My aunt took action several times, but she didn’t take the lives of those two people...
Lanzhi thought that if her eldest aunt hadn't peeled off the skins of those two people long ago, it would be completely impossible for her to come and take revenge.
The door to the Jia family might not even be opened for her.
Even if she went to the imperial court, it would be useless without evidence. The Jia family might even use their connections in the military to get her.
"Then I will give them ten pounds of rice, ten pounds of white flour, and fifty pounds of whole grains, so that they can survive the new year!"
"Be good!"
Shen Ning twitched the corner of her mouth, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you give cows, as long as you can indicate that they are not allowed to sell them, and you have to raise them yourself."
Raising cattle is not that easy.
The old cow has to be dragged out to graze every day.
People get a lot of shit when they soak it in. Can Jia Zheng and Wang make cow shit?
Thinking about that scene, Shen Ning felt relaxed.
"It's like raising cattle. You know it's not that easy."
Lanzhi: "..."
She somewhat understood what her aunt meant.
Old cows eat a lot, poop a lot, and pee a lot.
But it is particularly valuable to farmers.
If an ordinary farmer gets it, he will definitely have good food and drink. He will use his strength to point it out and harvest two more buckets of grain, but Jia Zheng and Wang...
"Well, if the old lady sees this list later and cries with me, I will add more cows."
"Yeah!" Shen Ning nodded, "Don't add food or anything else now, go to the old lady's place to do it."
no sooner said than done.
When Jia Mu saw this list, she actually cried.
As if Lanzhi couldn't bear it, he brought her cattle, New Year's grain and other supplies.
The old lady couldn't help crying again when she saw what she was writing.
The granddaughter is a soft-hearted person.
If only the second son was not so stupid and the Wang family was not so evil, their family... would be great!
"Good boy, that's enough." The old lady waved to Yuanyang, "Go and take out the knife that the Duke used in the warehouse."
Lanzhi's knife doesn't look bad either.
But it certainly cannot be compared with what the Duke of Guo used back then.
"In this family, you are the only one who has practiced martial arts."
She looked at Lanzhi again with a particularly loving look, "Originally, that sword was going to go with your grandfather, but he was reluctant to part with it. He said that if his descendants would practice martial arts in the future, he would pass it on."
If you can't pass it on, just stay with her.
Anyway, when she dies, she and the Duke will still be buried together.
"...Thank you, grandma!"
Once you get the knife, it feels different.
Pulling it out with a clang, Lan Zhi was filled with admiration.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Although half of the current battlefield is occupied by firecrackers, firecrackers cannot fight in close combat.
Lan Zhi has already chopped down several large swords on the battlefield.
Although the new one given by General Jiang is better, there is no guarantee that it will last forever.
Now...
"This knife is made of meteorite?"
"Yes, yes, that meteorite was specially rewarded by Taizu back then."
Because of Jia Daishan, Jia Mu loved this knife very much. She talked about it endlessly when talking about it.
Lanzhi had never met her grandfather. Although she had heard a lot from her mother, her mother had never told her about her grandfather's war.
Mother Jia knows this!
One of the two people spoke enthusiastically, and the other listened with gusto. It was getting dark and it was time to rest, but both of them still had more to say, so they simply rested together again.
In the back street, Jia Zheng, who had already taken on a couple of silver debts, was lying on the kang with the Wang family whom he hated so much.
The twenty-big board seemed to have caused the old injury on his butt again, and he screamed "ouch, ouch, ouch".
It seemed as if every time I screamed, the pain would lessen.
Wang felt pain too.
But she didn't bother to scream.
Even shouting requires strength.
Having given birth to three children, she knew that it was useless to scream when it hurt.
She fell asleep to Jia Zheng's 'Ayo ayo'.
Early the next morning, Jia Zhen came over in person and explained everything about the houses, land, cattle, food, etc. that the clan wanted to give them.
Mrs. Wang listened with her ears pricked up.
When she heard that there was even a sewing box, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The Wang family never dared to fully count on Jia Zheng.
She had been locked up in the small Buddhist hall for so long, and now she was released. Although her butt hurt a lot, her heart... was at least temporarily relieved.
Jia Zheng could write couplets to others and earn copper coins from letters, but she also had to find ways to make money.
But when she was a child, she was very ordinary at needlework.
Cooking food..., although I have learned it, I can only give instructions.
The only thing she can do is probably herd cattle.
When farming is busy, rent the cattle to others.
If there is food at home, when spring comes, the cattle will be busy and the rent can be collected.
Yes, that's it.
The couple ate the broken rice porridge and pickle dumplings provided by the tribe in silence, silently applied medicine to each other, and remained silent.
In the back street, many members of the Jia family were curious about whether the second master and second wife could eat something that was rarely eaten by the people in the Duke's palace.
Intentionally or unintentionally, they passed by the window and the door.
Occasionally, there are those who are very shameless and insist on raising the curtain, sitting on the kang where they are lying, and talking.
Not to mention the feelings of Jia Zheng and Wang about this.
"Oh, why is this such a big piece of porridge?"
When the woman who spoke saw the porridge they were drinking, the corners of her mouth turned up uncontrollably, "You all have injuries on your body, why not kill a chicken and make some soup!"
Jia Zheng: "..."
Wang: "..."
Both of them ignored her.
When they became a master and his wife, the tribesmen asked them for help, but they ignored many of them.
If you really can't shirk it, leave it to Jia Lian and Jia Zhen.
Nowadays, it is normal to be ridiculed...
They had eaten many sweet meals in the ancestral hall, so they felt that eating this corn dregs porridge was not bad.
But when it came to chickens, both of them were thinking about buying some chicks.
After being raised, you can eat eggs and kill them to make soup during holidays.
Mrs. Wang hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and now her eyes turn green when she mentions chicken.
Jia Zheng could tell at a glance because his eyes had turned green before.
……
In the Wang family, Wang Zisheng lowered his eyes. When his servants said that Jia Zheng and the Wang family would leave the city tomorrow to live a hard life, they felt calm.
He was worried about Lan Zhi.
This man has real skills.
To be able to force my uncle and aunt like this in the Jia family...
The prince wanted to grind his teeth.
He knew that they mainly had the support of the Shen family, and even Jia She was probably remembering the past and adding a foothold in it.
Hum~
"When Ren'er comes back, ask him to come over immediately."
Lanzhi can't find his elder brother, what if he tries to trick Ren'er...
The more Wang Zisheng thought about it, the more uneasy he became, "No, you go find him now and get him back to me right away."
His son is the only male in the Wang family.
His eldest brother was pointing at his son.
The servant who inquired about the news saw that he was only worried about the uncle's safety, so he opened his mouth, but finally closed it again.
Their aunt and uncle are going to be kicked out of the Jia family. The second master is like this... I'm afraid he will be looked at as a joke.
Alas~
He sighed and followed everyone to find Wang Ren, but he didn't know that at this time, Wang Ren was sweating profusely in a gambling house in Nancheng.
……
In Ningguo Mansion, Jia Jing, who had been in mourning for seven days, finally made his way from Beicheng to Tiekan Temple, Jia's family temple, early in the morning.
Because it was a bad death and it was a snowy day, according to the rules, he had to stay in Tiejian Temple for at least seven months before he could return to his hometown and be buried.
Although Shen Ning is still ill, she is the closest widow to Jia Jing, so it is natural that she should accompany him.
On the long street, in addition to the four princes and eight princes who often come and go, several princes from the royal family also asked the chief minister of the mansion to set up a memorial pavilion for the road festival.
Jia Zhen, Rong Geer, Jia She and other families thanked each other. The team that started at 3:00 o'clock had not left Beijing until 2:00 o'clock.
Shen Ning looked out from the car several times and couldn't help but frown again and again.
When Qin Keqing died in the Red Mansion, the funeral was extremely grand.
This is the only place where the Jia family shows off their connections.
But since then, the Jia family has taken a sharp turn, and now...
She sighed quietly in her heart.
Is the Jia family safe without Jia Jing, or is it in decline?
Look at today’s battle...
Shen Ning hoped it was safe.
It’s okay to decline.
A peaceful decline is better than anything else.
At this time, no one could have imagined that among the people watching the excitement, the real owner Jia Jing was witnessing his own funeral.
"Have you heard? Even the emperor asked his steward, Eunuch Liu, to come and offer sacrifices."
"Of course I heard about it. Alas~, Jia Jing died too early."
Many natives in the capital have heard of him.
"I heard from my father that when he was young, he was one of the most talented people in the capital."
Many officials, when reprimanding their sons, would bring Jia Jing out to praise him.
"What does a talented person mean?" Someone whispered: "Every three years in this capital, there will be a number one, number two, or top pick, but no matter what, they have to start from a junior official. But Jia Jing is different. He has not passed the Jinshi exam. Although he is an official, he is in charge of the capital. Both the Supreme Emperor and the former Crown Prince have great trust in him. ”
"Alas~"
The key is that the prince is gone.
The emperor fell out.
"If nothing had happened back then, the Jia family would have been even more prosperous than it is now."
So how many of the roadside sacrifices carried out by the princes and the various ministers are sincere?
Behind the scenes, I don’t know how many people were laughing.
"Oh, let's not mention this matter. I heard that Mrs. Shen is seriously ill and may have to follow her soon."
"Hey, you must have heard wrong. Mrs. Shen is already fine."
"Yes, yes, that's her in the car in front."
Jia Jing couldn't help but look over there. (End of chapter)
