Chapter 136 It's New Years Eve!
In fact, logically speaking, Qin Keqing had the right intention to take over the power of the Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Lian had suggested to the old lady to set up something like a parliament to manage the Rongguo Mansion in order to fight against the Wang family who was jumping up and down.

As a result, in this nondescript "parliament", there are still three of Wang's eight companions, not to mention the old lady's own people.

Those who are in power are still the original people. Although in terms of results, it is true that the rate of corruption of these people has been slightly slowed down, it is of no use.

This kind of method of changing soup without changing medicine is useless to any system, so Jia Lian took the opportunity to turn the table this time!
Continuing to let the group of slaves dangle in front of their eyes is purely disgusting but not biting.

Also, the reputation of the Jia family in Shenjing City has not been very good in recent years. Those Jia family members also have to take precautions, but now that the year is approaching, it is not appropriate to make a fuss, and let's put it off for a while...

……

At night, Wang Xifengxiang was sweating profusely, laying on the quilt without any scruples, showing her soul-stirring buttocks to Jia Lian's eyes, she really didn't even have the strength to move at all.

Didn't the mothers say that men only have so much time, so why does my husband...

Jia Lian moved a few more times, seeing that Wang Xifeng was still limp and motionless, she couldn't help feeling a little bit less interested, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Qiao Ping'er not far away with her back turned to her side and her earlobes were completely red.

Then she lay down and whispered in the ear of Wang Xifeng, who begged for mercy in a low voice, and Wang Xifeng raised her hand a little ashamed and angrily, and patted Jia Lian's chest lightly.She was really scared, so she could only nod her head...

In the early morning of the next day, Jia Lian, who was refreshed, took Ping'er, who had just become a married woman last night, to the east wing of Wang Xifeng's courtyard with his own hands.

Ping'er and Zhiyu are different, at least in Jia Lian's heart, Zhiyu is the person who grew up with Jia Lian after all, so she should be more or less respectable in the ceremony.

But Ping'er, it's not that she doesn't respect her, but in the end it doesn't have that much weight. Jia Lian will ask for it if she wants it.
Put Ping'er, who was only wearing a middle coat, into the quilt in the east wing, but Jia Lian's hands felt bitingly cold in the quilt. He got up and turned around to ask someone to bring in some soup pots, thermos pots, etc., but it happened that this At that time, Caiming who was beside Zhiyu and Wang Xifeng had already brought in some warm things.

Under Ping'er's shy eyes, the two put these warming things into her bed. Caiming looked at Ping'er with teasing and envious eyes, worried that Jia Lian was still there, and didn't speak, but gave it anyway. With a blessing expression on her face, she and Zhiyu went out again.

Jia Lian looked at Ping'er's shy face with a gentle smile, and the tenderness in her eyes, she couldn't help reaching out and caressing her delicate face.

"Good Ping'er, your young lady has only entered the mansion these days, but it's not in a hurry to allocate a yard for you. When Feng'er becomes pregnant in the future, the master will naturally make arrangements for you."

"I know, you don't have to worry about me..."

Ping'er's slightly hoarse but still unmistakable soft voice was thin and crisp, gently prying Jia Lian's mood.He bent down and kissed Ping'er's forehead lightly,
"You have a good rest today. If you have something to do, just ask someone to take care of it. I will tell Feng'er, good boy."

After all, Jia Lian got up and left the east wing, and came to Wang Xifeng's place. She had almost finished washing at this time, and when she saw Jia Lian came back, she said jealously:

"Master is still back, I thought you had to sleep in the east wing room again."

Jia Lian was never annoyed, and the smile on his face did not change, he just stretched out his hand and scratched lightly on Wang Xifeng's fair and straight nose.

"You said weird things again, you promised yourself last night...Okay, wash up soon and come to accompany me to do morning exercises."

This morning exercise is serious morning exercise. Jia's Taijiquan, Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng are already proficient, and they are often pulled by Jia Lian to get up early for morning exercise.

Although the two of them had no major physical problems, they could not be called strong, they still needed to be recuperated, otherwise Jia Lian really didn't dare to give them the last moment.

After punching this slowly but strenuous punch twice, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng went to Qin Keqing's courtyard, and the three of them finished their breakfast together before they started busying with their respective affairs.

……

"So, Li Yunhao is considered a Confucian genius? He became enlightened at the age of 15, and he has cultivated his energy for two years...

Now that the end of the year is approaching, but there should not be many things that need him to take care of, so I asked someone to post a post for the Li family, saying that I had a close relationship with the Confucian seniors in the White Deer Academy, and wanted to get acquainted with the new generation of Confucian geniuses. "

"Yes!"

The Li family's son wanted to marry Yuanchun, so Jia Lian naturally had to check it out, but from the current investigation, Li Yunhao's son did not have a bad reputation or bad deeds, so Jia Lian decided to meet this man.

Although Jia Lian really appreciates the Li family's family rules, it's just the foundation and doesn't explain too much. Yuan Chun is the first sister in the family, so Jia Lian can't be too cautious.

Seeing him and inspecting it is the right thing to do.

Jia Lian was about to go out to study with the Jia clan. As early as a few years ago, Jia Lian asked Jia Jiaming's innate guru Jia Xiazhou to come forward to rectify the clan studies. A few times, but after Jia Lian asked Jia Jing to write him a letter, the guy immediately died down.

Since then, the Jia Clan Studies have implemented semi-closed management, and all the children of the Jia Clan who enrolled in the school have had an education model similar to modern military schools.

Naturally, some people couldn't stand it at first, and some people started to make trouble, but after all, the Jia clan in Shenjing City is based on the Ningrong Second Mansion as the core.

Although the law of the clan is extremely strict on people, correspondingly, in this era, I don't know how many people rely on the clan to survive.Jia Lian's thought at the beginning was: as long as he does not do evil things and does not violate the laws of nature, he does not have so much energy to reform anything, especially when he is also a vested interest.

If it weren't for him being the nominal head of the Rongguo Mansion, many things would not be so easy to do.

And after all the ethnology is re-screened, the students who enter the school will first go through a military training. The intensity in the early stage is similar to the standard for the admission of high school freshmen in later generations, but this kind of military training is not the only time for three or four years. But normalized!

Ethnology roughly divides students into junior, middle and senior grades according to age and learning progress. Stereotypes and Confucian classics are not the mainstream courses, which are elective courses for senior grades.The main courses in the lower grades are literacy, understanding, and other basic-level education content, while the middle grades start to test the qualifications of each transcendent system, and start to get in touch with the preliminary practice of each system based on the qualifications.

In the upper grades, students start teaching the means of earning a living, and choose corresponding elective courses according to their future development direction, such as navigation, naval warfare, colonization, governance, and languages ​​of Western countries.

This is the plan, and it has been implemented for nearly three years. The oldest of the earliest students of Jia Clan Studies are about to graduate, and it is almost time to test the results.

You must know that for this ethnology, Jia Lian invested nearly 3 taels of silver every year.

It's easy to be an instructor in military training. In the army, the Jia family doesn't say that they respond to everything, but they still have a hundred responses.

There are at least three doctors sitting in the daily training alone, as well as carefully arranged meals, and teachers who teach various miscellaneous arts and crafts. Teachers, these will cost a fortune.

As for refining gods, this kind of aptitude seems to be really hard to come by. There are nearly a hundred descendants of the Jia family in the ethnology, but none of them have the posture of refining gods.

...

Many of the rules of the Daqing Dynasty were inherited from the pre-Ming uniforms. From the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, the major government offices began to have holidays one after another. Except for the yamen that must be guarded by people, there are few people in the government offices.

Baode's four years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the smiles on the faces of people in the streets and alleys of Shenjing City have gradually increased.

As the Spring Festival, the biggest festive festival of the year, was approaching, and it happened to be the rest period, more and more honorable officials, big and small, and even royal family members came to Rongguo Mansion to visit.

Even the father and son Jia Zhen and Jia Rong from the neighboring houses were specially invited to help greet the guests. The high-ranking dignitaries were invited to the East Road Courtyard to be received by Jia She, and the civil servants were received by Jia Zheng. It belongs to Jia Zhen.

The princesses who came to the door were naturally received by the old lady leading a group of daughters-in-law, big and small. Others didn't know, but the old lady loved it.

Since Jia Daishan, the old lady has never been praised so much by princesses of the same level or even higher. She misses such a life very much.

This excitement lasted until the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year's Eve.Not to mention Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, that is, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, who were arrested as young men, were exhausted.

But everyone was excited, even Jia Zhen never had the slightest complaint, the Ningrong and Rongfu were truly brothers and clansmen who were both hurt and prosperous.

Now that the West Mansion is so prosperous, his East Mansion will naturally benefit from it.Not to mention anything else, he will follow behind to get some credit for conquering Luzon, Java, and Manila fiefdoms in the coming year.
Finally, on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, the old lady of the Ningrong Second Mansion decided to invite Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, You Shi and others from the East Mansion to the Rongqing Hall to spend a lively new year.

There may be a meaning of rewarding Jia Zhen and his son for their hard work these days, but Jia Zhen and Jia Rong are not willing to get closer to the old lady and Jia Lian.

Especially Jia Lian, the princes and kings who came to visit in a continuous stream these days, who they are after, they no longer understand.

But Jia Lian seldom showed up, even Jia Zhen, and Jia Lian's relationship was not close, and she even blushed because of the ethnology.

But this time, even though Jia Lian never came out to socialize, but left them the errands of welcoming and sending them, Jia Zhen did not show the slightest complaint.

It's so realistic!

Even on New Year's Eve, Jia Lian took the initiative to toast Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son with a wine glass, both of them looked flattered.

"Brother Zhen, Rong'er, I offer you two glasses of toast. The two of you have suffered a lot these days."

"Where is it, Brother Lian is talking heresy, he can't write two characters of Jia in one stroke, not to mention that I am the elder brother and the patriarch."

"That's right, Second Uncle Lian, don't be too polite. I don't know how many young people in the family want to run errands for you, but they don't have this opportunity. My nephew will brag a little bit in the future."

Jia Lian took a look at Jia Rong, this kid was indeed not bad, with a handsome face, a handsome figure, and a beautiful costume.

"Rong'er is less than a year younger than me?"

"Back to Second Uncle Lian, yes, thanks to Second Uncle Lian remembering."

"Haha, good boy. Brother Zhen, can you arrange a marriage for Rong'er? Let Rong'er leave an heir quickly, otherwise I can only ask you to accompany me to Nanyang from now on!"

"This……"

Jia Zhen was a little panicked, is he going to the battlefield?

I can see that this guy has a guilty conscience, but Jia Lian still continues to lure him. When he sees this guy, he thinks of some very bad pictures. Let him go to Nanyang and die.

Jia Rong is already the limit that Jia Lian can tolerate!

The old lady over there was calling Jia Lian cheerfully again. After he nodded to Jia Zhen, he walked towards the old lady.

"Brother Lian, big sister is going to give birth soon, what gift did you prepare for her?"

This is the most noisy Shi Xiangyun among the small ones.

"The gift of giving birth is a surprise, there is no way to reveal it in advance."

"Hmph, elder brother Lian is so stingy!"

"Also talk about me, this may be your eldest sister's last birth at home, and your gifts must be thoughtful."

"Brother Na Lian, your gift must be given last, otherwise we will not obey!"

"It's just..."

"Big sister, how about I give Xiangxiang to you, give it to you to raise for a few days, and then you will pay me back..."

"Hello, Xichun..."

"Hee hee, big sister, please forgive me, I won't dare again..."

"..."

...

In the next few days, Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng were very busy again. In the past few days, most of the Rongguo Mansion's energy was busy receiving the guests, but their preparations for the Chinese New Year were not enough.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Jia Lian couldn't hide anymore after all, and had to bring Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng, the new daughter-in-laws who started this year, to visit the old relatives and his grandfather Zhangju's house one by one to pay New Year's greetings.

Four kings, eight lords and twelve lords, there are only a dozen or so families who still have their doors in Shenjing City, plus a few close-knit families, twenty or so relatives, so all the way to pay New Year's greetings, half a morning Time passed like this.

Of course, the three of them never really bowed down to anyone from any family, they just went through the motions, but they never received less gifts, and they were all gifts from the elders who dare not resign.

With Jia Lian's current weight, he was able to come to them to pay New Year's greetings as in previous years. This is an extremely close expression. The dissatisfaction of these old relatives that Jia Lian did not show up to receive them a while ago disappeared without a trace. .

Finally, he took the two daughters-in-law to rest at the grandfather's mansion for a while, and then went home with Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng who had recovered.

 It's a bit of a slack. Originally, when Dagang came here, he arranged a lot of content in the world of riding and cutting, but it seems that everyone doesn't like it. He is adjusting it. Give me some time.
