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

Sometimes the people are both pitiful and blindly obedient.Because I heard that the Lin family had food, and because many people saw many people transporting food to the Lin family in carts, and as soon as they were incited, they went to the Lin family to borrow food.Only a few insightful people reported to the government those firms that traded money for food.

There are yamen in all states and counties, but when there are serious cases, there are not enough manpower. When the police and the yamen just inspected the first grain store, except for some of the grain that had been exchanged, the remaining grain had been transported away. The thief ordered to set fire to it.

It was also the largest business house that Jia Lian and others rushed to. Perhaps the thieves were reluctant to burn it, so they hesitated for a while before asking Jia Lian and others to catch up and rescue a warehouse of grain.

They killed the shopkeeper and Xiao Er who were trying to set fire to the warehouse, took off their clothes, and walked out of the grain store. Jia Lian gave a small piece of broken silver to a child and told him to report to the official.

When the case of Baoding Prefecture was introduced to Suzhou, the Suzhou prefect was also frightened. Even a child reported to the official and sent a government servant to take over the warehouse.Although several people died in the warehouse, they had no intention of pursuing it, and only protected the warehouse.

A few days later, the officials from the Ministry of Households who supervised the spring plowing and the officers and soldiers from the Ministry of War who escorted the food also arrived.With the intervention of the government, local garrison officers and soldiers can be dispatched to maintain order and open warehouses to release food.

The Xunyan Yushi has the right to participate in the performance, and Lin Ruhai wrote this matter as a note and handed it to Beijing as early as when he started to buy grain.Of course, after Jia Lian guessed the food problem, Jia Daishan reported the matter to Emperor Jinghe in detail. Even without Lin Ruhai's memorial, Emperor Jinghe knew about it.Therefore, not only people from the Ministry of Households, but also people from the Ministry of War came to Jiangnan, who were responsible for transporting the grain purchased by Lin Ruhai to places across the country that lacked grain.

Since then, a serious grain case concerning the national economy and the people's livelihood has temporarily resolved the crisis. Jing and Emperor Fear dispatched the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Li Xiao and local yamen to jointly arrest the remnants of Huagulou.

After handing over the grain and food from Lin's house in Suzhou to the government, Jia Lian took time to buy gifts and go to Yangzhou.Lin Daiyu was born three days ago, and it is still the birthday of the Flower Festival on the [-]th of February.

These days, the Lin family has suffered a lot.Because the incident of refusing to borrow food spread to Yangzhou, many people called Lin Ruhai a corrupt official and a traitor, and even threw stones and rotten cabbage gang outside Lin's house.Fortunately, Lin Ruhai and his wife were reminded by Jia Daishan that they did not take any messy child-seeking medicine and paid attention to health preservation, so Jia Min was not frightened by these bad things and gave birth to a dystocia.

After all the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War arrived, they gathered some famous squires and talked about the matter in general, and the squires went back to the village to explain it, and the matter gradually subsided.Most of the squires know some poems and books, and they are sensible, and most of the common people are also sensible, but there are inevitably some paranoid people who say that this is just an excuse made up by the government to excuse Lin Ruhai.Obviously he did something good to benefit the country and the people, but Lin Ruhai's official reputation is no longer what it used to be.

Three people become tigers is probably like this. Some things, because of fear of causing panic, cannot be explained too clearly to the people, and it is inevitable that people will misunderstand them.But Lin Ruhai can see it, and with the joy of having a daughter, there is no trace of sadness on his face.

Because Jia Min was in confinement, Jia Lian didn't go inside to look at her, but the nanny brought Lin Daiyu, who was still in her infancy, to Jia Lian to have a look.A child who has just been born for a few days can't see the future appearance. Jia Lian really can't see from a little milk baby that the future will be like a beautiful flower shining in the water when it is quiet, and like a weak willow supporting the wind in its actions.But judging from Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's appearance alone, Miss Lin's appearance is not different.In addition, although Jia Lian has no experience in raising children, he feels that the baby looks very healthy and should not end up coughing up blood and dying prematurely.

In fact, Jia Lian said that this is an excellent change for Lin Daiyu in the original book.Besides, Lin Ruhai has made great achievements in purchasing grain this time, as long as Emperor Jing He is not kicked out of power in the original book, Lin Ruhai should not end up dying in office like in the original book, and Lin Daiyu doesn't have to depend on others.

Jia Lian didn't stay in the south of the Yangtze River too long. After finishing his work, he took the letter and gift from Lin Ruhai and his wife to Jia Daishan and set off for the north.

The three of them rode horses when they came, and they also rode horses when they went back.Although sailing is convenient, it is still too slow for Jia Lian.Although riding a horse is harder, the footsteps are also much faster.

Of course, this time back to Beijing, there is no need to rush day and night like when we came here. After more than 20 days, Jia Lian and his party returned to the capital.

Jia Lian didn't have time to change his clothes, so he went back to Lixiangyuan first.Seeing many people standing in the middle of the Lixiangyuan, all of whom were members of the Jia family and their children, Jia Lian felt his heart sink suddenly, as if he had been hit hard.Jia Lian couldn't explain how he felt at the moment. He felt that his feet were heavy and he couldn't move a step;

Jia Daishan was lying on the bed, already out of shape.Jia Mu, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Hu, Jia Zhu, Jia Yuanchun; Dou's family and Jia Wang's family were all in the room.There are also other children of the Jia family who come to visit every day.

"Grandfather, I'm back." Jia Lian stepped forward and took Jia Daishan's hand and said, "Everything in the south of the Yangtze River is fine, the food crisis has been resolved, my aunt gave birth to a girl, and the mother and daughter are safe. Uncle is also fine, uncle and aunt said Greetings to you old man, let you recover from illness with peace of mind, when my little cousin is older, I will come back to see you together..."

Jia Lian kept talking, piecemeal, trivial, as long as he could think of it, he said it first without waiting for Jia Daishan to ask.Jia Daishan was very thin and not in good spirits, Jia Lian didn't want Jia Daishan to spend any more energy.

"Very, very good... everything is fine, so I don't worry. Lian... Lian'er, your father and second uncle... are both confused. Although the house is divided, you should protect them from now on..." After Jia Daishan finished speaking, he looked at Jia Lian's face with cloudy eyes, as if he was waiting for Jia Lian's answer.

Jia Lian shook Jia Daishan's hand and nodded vigorously.

Jia Daishan closed his eyes, as if he was recharging his energy. After a while, Jia Daishan opened his eyes and said to Jia Zheng, "Zheng'er, I can't write two Jias in one stroke..." Before the 'word' came out, Jia Lian felt his slightly callused hands loosen.

"Grandfather, grandfather!"

"Old master!" Immediately, there was a burst of crying in Lixiangyuan.

Jia Lian saw Jia Daishan's eyes looking at Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun's brother and sister. The marriage of the two brothers and sisters has not yet been settled.

Because of Jia Daishan's poor health, the clothes and coffin were already prepared.At this end, Jia Daishan lost his breath, and at the other end, someone had already hung up the white flag, and Mrs. Dou had already arranged for someone to do so, but as soon as Jia Daishan lost his breath, he went to report the funeral everywhere.

As soon as Jia Lian changed his riding clothes, he changed into filial piety clothes.

Jia Daishan's health is not good, there are early signs, and the Dou family has been in charge of the family for many years, and it has also been experienced. Jia Daishan's funeral is handled by Jia Amnesty outside, and Dou's house is in charge of it. Although he is busy, there is no chaos.

It's just that since Jing and the emperor allowed Jia Daishan not to go to court, Jia Daishan's body has been raised a little bit. Even if he can't fully recover his vitality, why did he disappear when he went south for two months?Jia Lian was considered a very strong person, but it was still difficult to accept for a while.

Nanny Fan knew that Jia Lian and the old man had a deep relationship, and it happened that the old man was gone. Jia Lian didn't cry, so she couldn't help being worried, and persuaded: "Second master, the old man has been waiting for news from you these days, you are back. , the old man is relieved to leave. If you are really sad, just cry out, don't hold back your body, the old man looks at the sky and loves you."

Jia Lian was really sad, the feeling was indescribable, painful and empty, like losing a kind elder, more like losing a close comrade in arms, but he didn't want to cry.Soldiers like Jia Daishan don't like to hear crying.

Jia Lian looked up at Nanny Fan, only to see that Nanny Fan's eyes were slightly red and her expression was haggard, and she asked, "Mother, why is there no grandfather?"

Mother Fan sighed and said, "Not long after the second master took Mr. Wei, Mr. Guan, and Mr. Cheng to the south, thieves sneaked into the capital. Because Mr. Jiang also came back to protect the eldest grandson of the emperor, and strengthened the guards of the palace. It’s always been fine. The second master also knows that every spring equinox in this dynasty, the emperor will take the royal family and important officials to the imperial field to cultivate, praying for God’s blessing, good weather and good harvests.”

When Jia Lian heard this, he raised his head and said, "How dare the thief commit an assassination on this day?"

Mother Fan shook her head and said: "At the spring equinox of this year, the big case of Baoding's grain exchange has been introduced to the capital, so His Majesty will naturally go to Yutian to farm more and more, but because of the daring of the thief, there are guards all the way from the palace to Yutian. Not to mention, Sergeants have been arranged around Yutian to take strict precautions. It is said that there should be no accident."

Jia Lian clenched his fists and couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster.

Mother Fan continued: "That day, the Duke was in good spirits and went to Yutian. After arriving, he saw that the royal family members had arrived, but he did not see the prince. The Duke immediately realized that something was wrong and led people to chase him back."

"The prince?" Jia Lian asked.

"I was also injured, before the Duke died." Mother Fan said.

It turned out that Jia Lian and his party went south and killed Lou Tianyan in Hengshui. At that time, Jia Lian discovered that a large number of martial arts people came to Beijing. Jia Lian originally wanted Wei Jiu to return to Beijing, but Wei Jiu persuaded him to leave.

Jia Lian guessed right, these people with martial arts skills really came to Beijing with evil intentions.On the day of the spring equinox, Emperor Jinghe went to Yutian to pray for blessings and went down to the ground. Sure enough, assassins were attracted, but the ones who came to assassinate were fake bones.And the real Bone Master went to the East Palace.

Jia Dai's rare book dragged his sick body, and after taking people to the East Palace, he fought hard against Lou Tianlie, the master of Huagu. The master of Huagu injured the prince, and Jia Daishan also injured an arm of the master of Huagu.But because the imperial guards and Lixiao both focused their attention on Yutian, although there were many guards in the East Palace, they did not stop the Bone Lord.

"Mommy said that at that time, a group of people with high martial arts skills pretended to attack Yutian and dragged down the main force of the dragon guards. The landlord of Huagu led a small number of elites to raid the East Palace. But for such a big event as the spring equinox planting, even the emperor went there personally. How could the prince not?" go?"

Mother Fan sighed and said, "I have no way of knowing these royal secrets. It's just that the prince stayed in the East Palace that day. Today, Xu is waiting for the second master."

Jia Lian nodded thoughtfully.When Dai Quan happened in the palace, the people from the East Palace and Zhan Shifu must have investigated one by one. As for what went wrong, naturally they would not make it public.Jia Lian just lamented that in the original book, the crown prince probably died of the crime of treason, and the crime of treason in this life has been cleared away, and if he doesn't want to die of assassination again, he can only say that he has no life for the real dragon emperor.

Now that the crown prince is dead, and the crown prince's position is vacant, the princes who had no intentions of dissenting due to the staring eyes of other races are afraid that they will give birth to their thoughts again. If one is not good, the court will fall into internal strife.The lack of grain seeds in the Huagu Building shakes the foundation of the country, but if it attracts several princes to fight, there will be an opportunity to take advantage of it.

And Jia Daishan, loyal to the emperor and serving the country all his life, also received a mourning honor.Xin Qiji said: Set aside the affairs of the king and the world, and win fame both in front of you and behind you.This seems to be Jia Daishan's life.

But is Jia Daishan really for his fame?Jia Lian feels that Jia Daishan's real ideal is still the sentence: protecting more people in the world to live and work in peace is the greatest kindness.In this era, there is no concept of dedication and doctrine, but Jia Daishan dedicated his life with practical actions.He is undoubtedly a great soldier, from merit to personality are great.

Jia Lian was silent for a while, then got up and said, "I'm going to offer incense to grandfather."

Jia Daishan's bamboo slips were in the emperor's heart. After Jia Daishan's funeral report was introduced to the palace, Emperor Jinghe sent Xu Yuan to send sacrifices and give him a posthumous title.Several princes, four kings and seven princes, civil and military officials, most of them set up sacrificial sheds to offer sacrifices.One day Xu Yuan came to say his condolences and was about to go out when Jia Lian suddenly stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Xu, please stay."

Xu Yuan knew about Jia Lian, not to mention his great reputation in Beijing, and he was on good terms with the emperor's eldest grandson, so Xu Yuan turned around and said, "Second young master called the miscellaneous family, what's the matter?"

Jia Lian walked up to Xu Yuan, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice, "I asked Eunuch Xu to report to the emperor for me, and said that I have something to see."

Now, amidst Jia Daishan's enthusiasm for filial piety, according to the custom, all children and grandchildren of Jia Daishan should keep their filial piety at home and should not go out.But this time the Huagulou made such a big commotion, and even lost his son and humerus, Jing Hedi must be furious, and he will send people to wipe out the remaining forces of the Huagulou.Jia Lian had the Bone Transformation Token in his hand, so if he looked for the mark on the Bone Transformation Token, he would be able to get twice the result with half the effort.But I have no official position, no purpose and no qualifications to enter the palace, so I had to let Xu Yuan take the lead.

Although Xu Yuan is the eunuch in charge of the palace, after experiencing the incident of Dai Quan, Emperor Jinghe became more vigilant to the people around him. Be sure to tell the emperor."

Jia Lian thanked Xu Yuan, and Jia She ordered someone to send Xu Yuan out of the mansion.

When Jia Lian talked to Xu Yuan, everyone in Jia's house watched, but Jia Lian lowered his volume, and the others didn't hear what Jia Lian said.After Xu Yuan left, Jia's mother asked Jia Lian, "Lian'er, what did you just say to Mr. Xu?"

Jia Lian said, "Go back to the old lady. She didn't say anything." Jia's mother didn't ask any more questions.

Xu Yuan had been gone for less than an hour, and the old woman came back to say that Eunuch Xu had come.Everyone in Jia's house was taken aback, and only Jia Lian knew the reason.

Sure enough, Xu Yuan walked up to Jia Dai Shanling and saluted, then turned to Jia's mother and said, "Old Feng Jun, the miscellaneous family is here to welcome the second son of Lian into the palace to talk."

After hearing this, Jia's mother hurriedly told Jia Lian not to be rude when entering the palace, and then asked Jia Lian to change clothes and enter the palace.

Because Jia Lian wanted to face the saint, Jia Lian put plain clothes on top of his filial piety, so that he would not lose his etiquette and would not offend the palace, so he took the order of bone transformation and entered the palace with Xu Yuan.

After entering the study room, Jinghe Diping retreated, and Jia Lian kowtowed. After getting up, Jinghedi asked: "Lian'er, your grandfather was loyal to the country, which is admirable and admirable. Don't be too sad. Take care of yourself. "

Jia Lian should thank you.Emperor Jinghe asked Jia Lian what he had to report when he entered the palace.

Jia Lian handed the decree of bones with both hands and said: "Returning to the emperor, the grass-roots people are trusted by the emperor, and they went south to work. In Nanyang, they met a fake bone-making landlord. The fake bone-building landlord was killed by the Chang Sui sent by his grandfather to the grass-people. I found this on my body." Then he added what he had speculated about, to search for the property of Huagulou according to the mark on the Huagu Ling, and to arrest criminals in one fell swoop, which will get twice the result with half the effort and avoid accidental injury.

Emperor Jing He received the order of bone transformation, and after saying a few good words, he said: "When your grandfather was with me, he was only 15 years old. He officially led the army. I have today, and your grandfather has contributed a lot. Who knows Don't worry, Lian'er, your grandfather has gone like this, I will not let any of these rebellious officials and thieves harm my beloved son and my arm!"

Emperor Jinghe asked Jiangnan what he had discovered, and Jia Lian answered them one by one. Emperor Jinghe still ordered Xu Yuan to send Jia Lian back to Rongguo Mansion.

The prince was assassinated and died because Emperor Jinghe was in power and did not keep the country's filial piety.But many families in the capital stopped the banquet on their own.For Jia Daishan's funeral, after performing rituals for 49 days on July [-], the spirit was sent to the Tiekan Temple, his family temple, to rest.

After Jia Daishan's funeral came to an end, Jia Lian invited Wei Jiu to the small study.After Wei Jiu sat down, the two looked at each other for a long time before Jia Lian said, "Now that grandfather has passed away, what are Mr. Wei's plans for the future?" According to Jia Lian's speculation, in the original book, when Jia Daishan passed away, these capable people and strangers were dismissed.

Capable people have their own arrogance and principles, and their willingness to obey Jia Daishan does not mean that they are willing to be driven by people like Jia She.In the same way, if I am still a child at my age, how can I keep these people?Jia Lian asked himself that without Jia Daishan, he was not qualified to stay with Wei Jiu and others.

Wei Jiu stared fixedly at Jia Lian, and seeing Jia Lian's calm expression, he suddenly smiled freely and said, "Why, just after the Duke left, the Second Young Master thinks that I have a big appetite and I can't waste food? The Old Master Guo said that what the Second Young Master said is What he said, as long as Second Young Master remembers it, it counts for me." Wei Jiu's words were full of pride.

Jia Lian didn't say anything, stood up and bowed to Wei Jiu.Wei Jiu also patted Jia Lian on the shoulder.Between men, there is no need for unnecessary politeness. For a person like Wei Jiu, he will stay only because he is willing to stay.Not for fame and fortune, let alone for anyone's gratitude.As for why, Jia Lian didn't know and didn't ask.

After asking Wei Jiu, Jia Lian asked Fan Xun, Mother Fan, Cheng brothers and others, and everyone was willing to stay.As for Tan Yue who went out with Jia Jing, he had to come back and ask.

It is also said that Jia Daishan passed away, originally Jia Jing and Lin Ruhai wanted to keep their filial piety, but when the court was employing people, the two fought against each other to stay in office.Jia Jing was still patrolling the border, and Lin Ruhai was also in an important position, but he didn't wear official uniforms, and he managed affairs in plain uniforms.On the other hand, Jia Min had no children for many years, and finally got a daughter, but when he heard the bad news, thinking that he hadn't seen his father for many years, he was very sad and cried a lot.

It's just that I just gave birth and my daughter is young, so it's inconvenient for me to go back to Beijing.Besides, transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, the Lin family returned to Beijing after receiving the letter, Jia Daishan had finished sending the spirit, and it was too late to see him for the last time.Therefore, the husband and wife wear plain clothes and keep filial piety at home.

Jia She attacked the noble, because Jia She was really not a pillar of talent, and he was still a first-class general in vain.

Just like in the original book, Jia Daishan applied for an official position for Jia Zheng on his deathbed, and he took up the post only after Jia Zheng became a filial piety.In the original book, Jia Daishan asked for the post of director for Jia Zheng, but in the previous life, Jia Daishan did not come early, nor did he have made many contributions later. After Emperor Jinghe took care of Zhongliang, he gave Jia Zheng the post of director. In this life, Jia Daishan got rid of the past. In addition to the achievements of Long Zhigong and the peace rebellion, he added countless achievements later, so he was directly given the post of Jia Zhengyuan Wailang.

Yuan Wai-lang is a fifth-rank official, and Jia Zhengyi has won the fifth-rank title in vain, which is not low. Many of the official ranks of Jinshi are close to Jinshi, and most of them are seventh-rank county officials, or sixth-rank Hanlin. .

When Jia Daishan passed away, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, who kept their fathers filial piety, had a three-year period of filial piety, three years for Jia Hu, the eldest grandson, and one year for the rest Jia Lian, Jia Zhu, Jia Yuanchun, and Jia Lang.

A year later, Jia Jing returned to Beijing. According to the previous decision to separate the two houses, the second house should move out.But as soon as the Second House moved, it completely became the home of a fifth-rank official. The Rongguo Mansion had nothing to do with the Second House, nor did the First Class General's Mansion have anything to do with the Second House.

Jia's mother was still the same as in the original book, using filial piety to suppress Jia She: "She, now your father has not been buried and is still watching at Tiekan Temple. Are you going to drive me out?"

Jia Shen's current life was taught by Jia Daishan for ten years. Although he was not very promising, he understood better than his previous life, because he asked: "My son can't understand what mother said. A son serves his mother for a day, and the mother naturally Still living in the Rongguo Mansion, where did the words to drive the mother out come from? When the mansion was divided back then, the second younger brother made a written statement in front of the patriarch, and found a house by himself after being filial to his father."

Mother Jia turned to Jia Jing and said, "Brother Jing, comment on this reason. Although Zheng'er is filial, She'er is not. How can anyone be so eager to divide the government?"

Jia Jing knew that the things that Jia Wang's family did back then almost affected the whole family, so naturally he would not favor the second wife.Moreover, the crown prince in this life was killed by assassination, not for treason. Jia Jing didn't need to become a monk to avoid disaster, and the historians and Wang family of Jia Mu and Jia Wang's family were not so prominent. Naturally, Jia Jing didn't need it and would not look up to Jia Mu breath.So Jia Jing said: "Auntie, this subdivision was completed two years ago, and the written evidence has been established. Brother Zheng has just entered the official position not long ago, so he can't have the reputation of being untrustworthy."

Jia Jing's words almost choked Jia's mother to death, and Jia Zheng failed many times, and now everyone in Jia's residence knows how this fifth-rank member, Wailang, got here.Jia Zheng didn't have the confidence to do things among the officials who came out of the Kedi. If he got a bad reputation, he would be even more difficult in the officialdom.

One year after Jia Daishan's death, the second room of the Jia family moved out.Because Erfang had a lot of money in his hands, he still bought a house in the capital not far from the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.But these are all things for later. Before the second bedroom of Jia's family moved out of Rongguo Mansion, several major events happened in the capital.
