The Second Master of the Iron-blooded Lian of the Red Chamber

It's ridiculous to say that Mother Jia has lost the power of the family for several years, and now through Jia Min's marriage, Mother Jia wants to take back her power.

Early this morning, after the children and grandchildren paid their respects, Mother Jia said: "Grandfather, seeing that Min'er's marriage is coming soon, we have to prepare the dowry. The elders have never experienced such a thing. How should Min'er's marriage be handled?"

Jia Daishan could naturally hear what Jia's mother meant. The Duke's Mansion had married three concubines, and the marriages of these three concubines were handled by Jia's mother, and Jia's mother did have experience.However, over the past few years, Dou's head is also a safe person, increasing income and reducing expenditure, and even the income of the family property has increased a lot compared to before.So Jia Daishan said: "It's still the elders who are the specific directors. If there is anything you don't understand, I will ask you and you can give her some advice. When the children grow up, it's time to be filial. It doesn't make sense to let the old lady worry about everything. You It's time to enjoy the blessings, why bother to work hard when someone is doing something."

Jia Mu was choked back by Jia Daishan's words, her chest was filled with air, and it made people feel bored, but she could only smile on her face.Therefore, the dowry items for Jia Min's marriage were all handled by Dou's family. Of course, the etiquette that should be Jia's mother was not less than hers, and she also had the dignity that a lady of the state should have.

Jia Daishan is a bit biased. As an excellent person, he treats excellent children and grandchildren better.For example, Jia Lian is the grandchildren, and Jia Min is the sons and daughters.As Jia Min was the smartest of Jia Daishan's two sons and four daughters, Jia Daishan naturally didn't want to treat her badly, so with a wave of his hand, he ordered Mrs. Dou to prepare with ten miles of red makeup.

Mrs. Dou has never taken care of such important matters as weddings and funerals, but before she left the cabinet, she was also trained by the mistress of Zhengzheng. It has been more than four years since Jia Daishan pushed her to stand up. .

Therefore, these days, although the Dou family is busy, they have everything they need for a dowry, and they are well prepared.Even if there were occasional doubts, Mrs. Dou not only consulted Jia's mother, but also consulted other wives and wives who had gone through the matter, so as to ensure that Jia Min's marriage was not wrong.

Mrs. Dou is a person who understands current affairs. She knows who gave the eldest house the status in the mansion. She also knows that Jia Daishan values ​​Jia Min. It is for this relationship that Mrs. Dou will do her best in Jia Min's marriage.What's more, Jia Min and Mrs. Dou have been directors together for several years, and they have been friends since then, and Mrs. Dou also sincerely hopes for her sister's well-being; for her own sake, how can someone who is so transparent about her sister not know?In the future, my brother-in-law can also help my two sons, so why not do it?

There is nothing difficult in the world, Mrs. Dou already has some talent, but now she has become ruthless. She sorted out the regulations in her room, made a plan, deleted and revised it several times, and then acted according to the regulations.

Here Dou's family is preparing for Jia Min's wedding in full swing, while Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion over there has come to visit Jia Daishan. According to the woman in charge who spoke back and forth, "Uncle Zhen looks very anxious."

When Jia Daishan heard this, he immediately knew what was going on.I was busy asking someone to invite Jia Zhen in, but Jia Jing's wife, Cui Shi, also came.

Cui Shi is the daughter of the former head of the Imperial Academy. She comes from a scholarly family and is the most respectful of etiquette. If it is not urgent, she will definitely not visit her uncle directly, but visit Jia Mu first.

Jia Daishan's small study is often used for business discussions, and there are never any maids who serve tea and water, grind ink and cut paper. At both ends of the study, no one is allowed to approach.

Because Mrs. Cui is the nephew's daughter-in-law, Jia Daishan didn't close the door of the study even though her grandnephew Jia Zhen also came and Jia Lian was also in the small study.Instead, he asked: "Is the nephew and daughter-in-law here to respect your son?"

When Cui heard this, her eye circles turned red, because Jia Min's good life is coming soon, Cui suppressed her tears and said: "Now that sister Min's good news is coming, my niece and daughter-in-law shouldn't bother my uncle, but my ex-niece and daughter-in-law welcome him." At this point, my niece and daughter-in-law are worried about our master's safety, and there is no one else to discuss with, so I can only ask my uncle." Saying this, he handed over a letter.

Jia Daishan took it, read the Zhanxin, it was Jia Jing's handwriting, and it was also some homely greetings, it didn't look abnormal.Of course, Jia Daishan also had access to the news from Shandong. He knew that this trip was dangerous. Jia Jing and his party seemed to be in some trouble, but Jia Jing was a safe person and would never tell his wife and children about it.

So Jia Daishan said: "Isn't Jing'er saying that he is all right, so that my niece and daughter-in-law can rest assured? Why is my niece and daughter-in-law so worried?"

Cui smiled sadly and said: "Uncle, I don't know. I have been married to our master for nearly 20 years. Naturally, there are some things that only our husband and wife know about our daily relationship. Because our master's name is a word of 'respect', so I corresponded with him and wrote letters. It is inevitable to insert a word "Bin" in it, but the nephew and daughter-in-law received three family letters from the master in a row, and there is no word "Bin" in the whole text. If the nephew and daughter-in-law were not really worried, they would not dare to go to this juncture Please go to my uncle." As he spoke, Cui's eyes turned red again, and the worry overflowing on his face could not be faked.

Jia Lian was speechless when he heard this.This is the tune for a young lady from a Hanlin scholar family to marry a Jinshi. People usually write family letters, which is also an elegant game.Why is the word "宾" embedded in the letter, naturally it means respecting each other as a guest.

Jia Daishan would not hide anything from Jia Lian, and Jia Lian also knew that after Jia Jing and his party arrived in Shandong, they encountered some accidents and disappeared temporarily.But Cui could always receive Jia Jing's family letters. These letters were probably written in advance half a year ago, on the eve of Jia Jing's departure, after discussing with Jia Daishan late into the night.As for why Jia Jing didn't embed words in it at that time, Jia Lian didn't know.

Jia Lian raised his head and glanced at his grandfather, a trace of panic flashed across Jia Daishan's face, and then he recovered his usual expression, and the rest of Jia Lian didn't see much information.Just listen to Jia Daishan's advice to Cui Shi: "Nephew and daughter-in-law don't panic too much. Maybe Jing'er is busy with business and forgot to insert words in the letter. It's not a big deal. After Jing'er is busy with this part, send it back. The promise has been replaced with an inlaid family letter. If the nephew and daughter-in-law are really worried, I will send a steward to Shandong tomorrow to find out where the patrol team is."

Although Cui was anxious, she was a person who knew both books and etiquette. She knew that Jia Daishan could only do this at most. After getting up and thanking Jia Daishan, she walked away holding her mother-in-law's hand.

As for King Zhongshun's mansion, King Zhongshun received a tip-off that the Governor's Mansion in Shandong had been stolen, and Jia Jing, who was in the patrol team, was missing, and he was even more furious.

Mr. Lu looked at King Zhongshun who was full of anger, and persuaded him, "My lord, there is news from the governor of Shandong that the letter of alliance has not been lost. You must not worry too much, and you will be in a hurry." The person of color can't hide the anger on his face now, it can be seen that he is really angry.

"How can Qi Chuan be so careless, so careless! Knowing that the emperor sent people to inspect the place this time, he was ruthlessly investigating, and this king sent someone to notify him to pay attention to the inspection team early tomorrow. How can his house still be stolen?" Zhong Shun Wang couldn't help sighing.

Mr. Lu said: "It's no wonder Mr. Qi. The patrol team has been in Shandong for several months. Although Jia Jing has been doing business in every place, he has always been honest. Now the patrol team is preparing to leave for Beijing. Jia Jing suddenly Killing the carbine is beyond everyone's expectations."

Suddenly, King Zhongshun seemed to have thought of something, slapped his thigh and said, "We were fooled!"

Mr. Lu hurriedly asked, "What does the lord mean?"

"Jia Daishan!" "Mr. still remembers that half a year ago, when he promoted the southward inspection of Guangdong Hai at the court meeting for the first time, Mr. said that Jia Daishan went to court very early because he guessed that someone would move Guangdong Hai. Therefore, Jia Daishan It seemed too deliberate not to say a word at the court meeting. Then we planned to use Duan Da to lure Jia Daishan to Situjie's mansion, and no one was fooled for seven days. Whether Jia Daishan felt that Duan Da went to the Longsheng Silver House every day was too deliberate , but guess what?"

When Mr. Lu heard this, he also broke out in a cold sweat.Mr. Lu is undoubtedly a smart person, but the common problem of smart people is that they often believe too much in their own judgments, while ignoring that others can know the autumn by a leaf.

"I was careless!" Mr. Lu blamed himself: "Maybe Jia Daishan stuffed Jia Jing into the patrol team going to Shandong, and he planned the next action long ago. Because Jia Daishan didn't rashly send someone to follow Duan Da and misled him." We, we only thought that he didn't know what was going on behind the scenes, and instead let down his vigilance; but we didn't think that he was trying to lure us away on purpose. Originally, we were the enemy and we were in the dark, but because of Jia Daishan's misleading, the situation was reversed, and the enemy was in the dark and we were in the dark.

Jia Jing was calm again, and he seemed to be business-like along the way, with no merit or demerit. When the inspection team was about to leave Lu, the officials of all sizes in Lu became more and more relaxed. When the patrol team first entered Shandong, it was much easier to succeed.He is worthy of being the Duke of the country who was known as the ever-victorious general back then! "

King Zhongshun still said with a sullen face: "Impossible, Jia Daishan is upright, good at marching and fighting, and always goes straight. Although he is not bad at guessing people's hearts and fighting in secret, when we were working together, Jia Daishan was good at this aspect. Always half a step behind me. Although I mention it, he can immediately think clearly, but often needs someone to help him pierce the window paper. These years, Jia Daishan has stayed away from the battlefield. How can he not retreat but advance, but leads everywhere I'm half a step away? Jia Daishan is probably surrounded by a master!"

Mr. Lu pondered for a while, and said: "My lord, didn't the spies report that they had already hunted down Jia Jing and intercepted Jia Jing's letter from home? Why are Ning and Rong's two houses not in a hurry, and they are still thinking about important matters to arrange the marriage? Jia Jing is now He absolutely dare not show up at the station, so how did he send his family letter?"

Zhongshun Wangdao: "There is a saying in the art of war. The false is the real, and the real is the false. Jia Daishan really used the false and the real to a superb level. At this juncture, there is a big wedding. Who knows if he has a plan in his chest or is he playing empty plans? That girl's marriage is only a few days away, and this king is going to meet Rong Guogong."

King Zhongshun and Jia Daishan came and went, undercurrents surged, but the rest of the Jia family didn't know that there was a problem with Jia Jing, and they were still busy with Jia Min's marriage.So until the day of the wedding, Lin Jia's second mansion was very lively.

Lin Ruhai is the only son, so the Lin family's employment is naturally willing, and it is three points more important than the general princes in Beijing. Jia Min is the only daughter of the Rongguo mansion, and she is favored by Jia Daishan, so her marriage standard is naturally higher.Who is Jia Daishan? He is Emperor Jinghe's confidant. He was a child who survived with Emperor Jinghe back then. Can Duke Rong marry a daughter?

On that day, when the dowry was carried out from Rongguo Mansion, the other end had already arrived at Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion, and the one from Rongguo Mansion had not yet left.How many people are amazed: This is the real red makeup.

Of course, that's because the dynasty was not long after the founding of the country, and the mansions of the people who were conferred dukes and marquises were not far away.Even so, the wedding of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min is also a good story in the capital.Not only are the families of both parties extremely high, but Lin Ruhai and Jia Min are both talented and beautiful, and they are a pair of beautiful people.

Needless to say, Jia Min's grandeur of hitting a small kick and striding eight feet, that's how many respected princesses in the capital watched him grow up.Lin Ruhai is less than [-] Tanhualang, how many can you find in the capital?What's more, Lin Ruhai has a handsome appearance.Such a well-matched family, a man with a talent and a woman's appearance, naturally attracts people to talk about it.

Although Jia Min's dowry was arranged by Dou's family, but for the concubines and imperial orders who came to entertain and add makeup, it was Jia's mother who came forward. Everyone praised the Duke's mansion for marrying girls. Personnel exchanges, distribution and scheduling are orderly, and the etiquette is not chaotic. Only the Duke's Mansion has such a transparent person, and Jiamu has earned enough face for handling such innocent matters.

After a long day of excitement, Lin Ruhai also counted five passes and cut six generals, gave a make-up gift, and received a wedding poem before taking Jia Min out.

And in the VIP hall of Lin Mansion in Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion, King Zhongshun, the four kings and eight princes all sat at the same table, and everyone exchanged cups and congratulated Jia Daishan, wishing him this excellent Xu.Jia Daishan thanked them one by one with a smile, and said that Lin Ruhai was a good boy, even though his father died early and he had no siblings to support him, he hoped that all relatives and friends would take good care of his son-in-law in the future.

King Zhongshun smiled and said: "Lin Tanhua was in high school when he was less than twenty years old. Such a talented person can't hide his beauty. How can we use others to take care of him? Now that Guixu has entered the Imperial Academy, he will visit the imperial court in the future. Please ask Lin Tanhua to take care of us. The incompetent descendants are the ones, so why does Tanhualang need someone to take care of him?"

The descendants of the four kings and eight lords have very few prospects. After hearing King Zhongshun's words, everyone echoed.

King Zhongshun went on to say: "Speaking of which, when the ancestors here followed the emperor's uncle to rule the world, what a heroic spirit they were. This was passed on to the children and grandchildren, but all the promising ones went to the Pojun Mansion. Brother Jing, we saw I grew up, and later became a Jinshi at a young age. Among the noble children, in terms of outstanding character, who doesn't know Jia Jing in the Ningguo Mansion. It's easy for the Marquis Wenyuan Mansion to produce an outstanding child whose surname is not Jia. Yes, Po Jun, you shot so fast again, you have decided on a son-in-law."

Everyone laughed and complimented the Duke for his vision.

King Zhongshun changed the subject, and said again: "It's a pity that Brother Jing didn't come back from his business trip, so he didn't come today, otherwise he won't be able to drink enough wine, I will definitely not let him go!" Everyone laughed When he got up, King Zhongshun's peripheral vision did not leave Jia Daishan's face.

When Jia Daishan heard King Zhongshun mention Jia Jing, his face darkened slightly, and he forced a smile: "Jing'er is a promising man, but unfortunately he is Brother Hua's son. But my two sons can't do it. The prince wants his nephew to accompany him to drink What's the problem? I'll send She'er and Zheng'er here to have a drink with the prince, for fear that the prince will think they are vulgar and disturb the wine."

Lord Zhen Guo said with a smile: "Look, is there such a careless person who got Jiaxu today and buried his own son?" This sentence made everyone laugh.

After joking and joking, King Zhongshun changed the subject and said worriedly: "Speaking of which, the five-way inspection team went to Ping'an Prefecture and Shandong alone not far from Beijing. It is said that the inspection group that went to Ping'an Prefecture yesterday After entering the city, Po Jun has never heard of the return date of the Shandong patrolling regiment?"

Jia Daishan said with a smile: "Although Jing'er didn't mention the date of return, but every half a month, family letters are sent back. Why does the prince ask this?"

Li Guogong also laughed and said: "My lord is so disappointing. On a day like today, let's just have a good drink. What state affairs are we talking about?"

The other princes echoed their words, but King Zhongshun thought: It seems that Jia Jing is not out of danger, otherwise when he mentioned the word Jia Jing just now, Jia Daishan would not have shown an imperceptible look of worry on his face.So King Zhongshun made up his mind to set up checkpoints along the way to stop Jia Jing from returning to Beijing alive no matter what.
