The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 305 Er Xiaoyou

Jia Lian's index finger twitched because of his charming wife.

Anyway, he was in his own room again, so Jia Lian was not polite, and directly pressed him on the couch to calm his anger in the morning.

"Stop making trouble, don't you still have to visit your second uncle today, be careful if you go late."

After a while, Wang Xifeng pushed Jia Lian panting.

Her husband's fondness for her body made her proud, but occasionally she felt unbearable.

Jia Lian didn't go too far, she got up after simply rubbing a couple of hands, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you come with me?"

"Forget it today. Second Uncle has just returned to Beijing, so we have to wait for two days. Maybe Auntie will send someone to invite us. Then we will go there together. It won't be abrupt."

Wang Xifeng is shrewd in dealing with people.Jia Lian can visit Wang Ziteng as soon as he returns to Beijing, because they are all officials, and they can exchange news and help each other.

But as a concubine, she was not in a hurry to go there. She still wanted to wait two days and take the youngest sister to visit Wang Ziteng.

Besides her husband Jia Lian, her uncle Wang Ziteng is her biggest reliance.

Take this incident as an example, Mother Jia and others have nothing to do with Jia Lian, why don't they learn from the Queen Mother and force her to leave voluntarily?

One reason is that Jia's mother may really miss some old love, and the other reason is also because of the existence of her uncle Wang Ziteng.Even Jia's family is not easy to offend the Wang family.

Therefore, she was able to stay safe and sound until the clouds opened and the moon shone.

Naturally, she has to maintain a good relationship with her uncle and aunt.

……

The Wang family, because of the relationship with Wang Ziteng, the threshold is getting higher and higher.

However, coming here as Jia Lian did not receive any contempt.Even though the Wang family seemed to be in a hurry, the housekeeper still welcomed Jia Lian to the vestibule, and then said with a smile to Jia Lian, "Second Master Lian, wait a moment, my master is meeting guests in the living room, let the villain go and report first."

"Trouble."

After a while, the butler came out to report: "Master, please."

When he came to the main hall and saw red and purple in the hall, Jia Lian knew that Wang Ziteng wanted to support him as a junior.Otherwise, he could have finished meeting the guests and then summoned his niece and son-in-law alone.

"Jia Lian pays his respects to his uncle and welcomes him back to Beijing in triumph."

I haven't seen him for half a year, but the prince's air is still undiminished, but he just feels a little bit more frosty on his face.

When he saw Jia Lian, the smile on his face became more intense, and he asked with a smile: "You came just in time, most of the people present here are my former generals, some of them may not be familiar to you, let me introduce them to you.

In the future, you both will be officials in the capital, so you can support and take care of each other. "

Hearing this, Jia Lian felt grateful in his heart.

Wang Ziteng has been the military governor of the Beijing camp for more than ten years. It can be said that no one in the capital can match him in terms of military power alone.

Not even the senior generals of the Forbidden Army.

Therefore, Wang Ziteng's old department naturally has many.No, he had just returned to Beijing when these people came to visit the former boss.

And what Wang Ziteng said just now is to tell these people that this is the junior of my family, and for my sake, please take care of them more.

Sure enough, seeing Wang Ziteng's attitude, those present, who were still secretly looking at Jia Lian, who came from the "pretty good" Jia family's children recently, were secretly joking in their hearts.

At this moment, he couldn't help changing his attitude quietly, looking at Jia Lian with a lot of enthusiasm.

And Jia Lian also met these people one by one according to Wang Ziteng's words.

Until then, from Wang Ziteng's actions, Jia Lian felt that the clan and in-law relationships that people pursued at that time were very reasonable.

The four major families have been united in the same spirit for hundreds of years. When the Jia family is the most powerful, there are no descendants, and the political shadow is inherited by the capable prince Teng.

Now that the prince is taking the throne, he sees capable children appearing in Jia's mansion, so he turns to support him.

It is conceivable that if this inheritance is carried on, when he grows up in the future, he can also support the younger generation of the Wang family.

It's no wonder that the four major families can still occupy a place in the center of power after a hundred years of inheritance.

However, this method of inheritance also has a disadvantage, that is, it must be accurate in judging people.

If you fall in love with an ungrateful white-eyed wolf like Jia Yucun, then no matter how many generations of previous generations worked hard to maintain the relationship, it will end here.

Because most of the military officers present were present, after the greetings, the people who sat down to discuss were the situation at the border and the new orders of the Ministry of War.

That's about it, it's gone.

As a junior, Jia Lian has to stay and talk about some private matters.

So, after seeing off the others, Wang Ziteng led Jia Lian to his study, and the first thing he said after sitting down was: "I've heard about those things about your family.

You've done a good job, a man, how can you seek prosperity and wealth by abandoning your wife?
Moreover, although concubines of this dynasty can enter the dynasty as officials, there are still restrictions after all.If it's someone else, it's fine. As the grandson of Duke Rong, you have a bright future, so how can you covet this shortcut. "

"My uncle taught me that, but my nephew didn't think so much before. I just feel that I have been married to Feng girl for many years, and she has not betrayed me. Naturally, I can't do something that betrays my promise."

Of course Jia Lian knew, and Wang Ziteng must not only know about his resistance to marriage.

It's just that the matter of Ningguo Mansion is really not very pleasant to say, so Wang Ziteng deliberately didn't mention it.

Hearing Jia Lian's answer, Wang Ziteng showed a bit of appreciation on his face.

How can people not like such a junior who values ​​love and trust?Even from the perspective of interests, cultivating and supporting such people will be more motivated.

In the future, a hundred years from now, the other party will do more to take care of the Wang family because of the incense and love.

So he smiled and said: "Did you see those people just now? Although I dare not say that they are all talented people, they are also the contacts I have accumulated in Beijing for so many years.

From what I see, His Majesty probably won't let me meddle in the affairs of the Beijing camp anymore.Therefore, if you can make good friends with these people, try to make good friends with them, which will benefit you in the future.

Besides, after you are the Second Duke of Ning Rong, most of the people in the capital camp will sell you face. If you think about it, it is not difficult to make friends with them. "

"Thank you uncle for your reminder, my nephew will remember it."

Although there are not too many people in the headquarters of the Jingying, no matter whether it is the soldiers and horses of the five cities in the city, or the several large camps near the capital, they are all under the jurisdiction of the Jingying.

And just before Wang Ziteng, it was Jia Daihua, the son of Ning Guogong, who took the post of Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp.

Moreover, Jia Daihua retired when he was in the Beijing camp until he was unable to work.

As for going further... Legend has it that most of the Beijing Camp was formed by the old minions of Second Duke Ning Rong.

Therefore, Jingying has a strong Jia family brand.

Perhaps this was also Wang Ziteng's intention. Since the emperor forbade him to intervene in the Beijing camp, he would transfer this power back to Jia Lian's hands.

Regarding this, Jia Lian felt that it would not be so easy.

After so many generations of blood changes, in the Beijing camp, even the character Wang is easier to use than the character Jia.

The greater strength of Jia's mansion is the old guys who have been promoted to the Ministry of War. Although they don't take much care of things at ordinary times, they can speak well when it comes to critical moments.

Those people are the real subordinates of Second Duke Ning Rong, so they naturally miss the past more than others.

"There is one more thing to tell you. Do you know the main reason for my return to Beijing this time?" Wang Ziteng's face suddenly became serious.

Jia Lian didn't dare to be negligent, and made a serious listening gesture.

"This border battle is mainly between us and the Tatars.

It is said that it is a war, but neither we nor the Tatars have sent too many troops. Strictly speaking, it is just a large-scale friction.

Because Your Majesty advocates taking the initiative to attack, we have gained a good advantage, and the Tatar tribes who will invade in the future retreat to the north.

But the heart of the Tatars to violate our territory is not dead!

Over the years, the Tatar tribes have gradually unified and become stronger, and they no longer have any enemies on the grasslands, so they have gradually developed a heart to offend me.

Although this time the war forced them to negotiate a peace with us, I have already received reliable information that the Tatars are joining forces with Oara and Xihai, and are preparing to join forces to seek our western border.

This matter is of great importance, so His Majesty summoned me back to Beijing so that we can discuss countermeasures after studying the situation carefully. "

When Jia Lian heard these words, the first reaction in his heart turned out to be that there is another battle to fight!

Immediately realized, when did he become like a warlike martial artist?He is a good young man who loves peace and loves life!

After thinking about it, I realized that there are no militants, but they all want to use the war to gain military merits in order to quickly improve their strength and status.

Quickly correcting his mentality, Jia Lian questioned: "But, I heard before that Wala sent envoys to make friends with me, and I heard that he is still a prince.

If Wala also has the heart to offend me, how dare they send the prince to die? "

Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Lian and asked, "How can you be sure that they must have come to make friends and surrender, and not to find out my truth?"

Jia Lian understood.

Indeed, although this Wala is much more honest than the Tatars, but don't forget that it is also the largest Mongolian tribe apart from the Tatars.

When it was strong, it also rubbed the Tatars of Eastern Mongolia on the ground.

Although the current strength is weaker than Tatar, it may not be willing to surrender.

In fact, it expressed its surrender to the Great Wei, but it was only using the strength of the Great Wei to contain the Tatars, so as to prevent itself from being annexed by the Tatars.

If there is an opportunity to strengthen oneself, it will not let it go.

Seeing Jia Lian lost in thought, Wang Ziteng smiled instead: "But don't worry too much.

It is rumored that King Nawara is old and has no ambition to make progress. He has been paying tribute to me all these years.In addition, if he dared to unite with the Tatars and the Western Seas, wouldn't he be worried that the Tatars would attack after the incident?

Today's Oirats can't stop the Tatar cavalry. If they hadn't been afraid of our Great Wei court these years, the Tatars would have invaded Oara long ago.

Since the division of Eastern and Western Mongolia, there has not been any generation of Tatar and Oirat royal courts who did not want to dominate the prairie.

Therefore, the imperial court is still very sure of winning over the king of Wala.

And Oara is facing the northwest, separating the Tartars from the Western Seas. As long as the Oara king dare not rebel, the Tatars' planned coalition forces will be impossible to talk about. "

Wang Ziteng looked confident.

The battle with the Tatars this time gave him a new understanding of how to deal with the steppe cavalry. He believed that if he was asked to lead the army next time, he would do better than this time.

Regarding this, Jia Lian smiled, echoed Wang Ziteng's words, and did not express much opinion.

He is only a fourth-rank now, and he was still beaten.There is very little room for him to speak on such a military matter.

What he needs to do is to be ready at any time, but there is a chance, just like last time, to grab more military exploits while trying to ensure safety.

Wang Ziteng just reminded Jia Lian, but he didn't really ask his opinion.

After talking about this matter, he smiled and said: "It will be noon soon, stay for lunch and then go back.

I heard from your aunt last night that girl Feng gave birth to a baby girl last year, why didn't she hug her and show me? "

Jia Lian laughed and said, "Originally, girl Feng planned to bring the child to kowtow to uncle, but suddenly remembered that uncle had returned to Beijing from a long distance and hadn't had a rest yet.

The children are noisy, and I am afraid that the noise will upset my uncle, so I discussed with me, wait for my uncle to rest for two days, and then she and I will come to visit with the child together. This is the etiquette of the younger generation. "

Wang Ziteng shook his head with a smile and didn't say much.

……

After leaving the palace, Jia Lian went to Linzibo's mansion to see the old man.

The old man is not old at heart, and he is most concerned about this kind of family and country affairs. Telling the old man the news that Wang Ziteng got from him will make him happy.

Back to Ningrong Street, dismounted in front of the main gate of Ningguo Mansion.

"Second Master Lian."

"Ah."

Naturally, Ningguo Mansion was still in a bleak state.

After the Ministry of Criminal Justice closed the case, Jia's family took Jia Rong's body back and placed it with Jia Zhen in the mourning hall.

Of course, in view of Jia Rong's unfilial son, although the family didn't pursue it much, they didn't intend to make arrangements for him.Just let him be in the light of his father.

All the sacrificial ceremonies are directed towards Jia Zhen.

Jia Jing is really a trickster!
It is said that Jia Zheng is lazy and doesn't like to take care of things, but Jia Jing is much better than him.

Regardless of the funeral of his own son and grandson, he co-operated with a group of Taoist priests, hiding in the house every day, burning alchemy and chanting scriptures.The exhausted Jia Zheng was busy, helping him with the outside affairs!
What is it called?The big lazy commands the little lazy, and the little lazy commands the threshold!
Jia Lian found sadly that the former him might be that threshold.

It's not that Jia Zheng doesn't know how to take care of things. He basically has free labor at his disposal, so he doesn't want to move.

"Second Master..."

"Second uncle..."

Came to the mourning hall, and worshiped Jia Zhen three times.

A group of weeping girls naturally met him face to face.

Jia Lian didn't care much at first.

Suddenly, two Jiao Didi voices sounded with an inexplicable sense of shyness, one in front and one in the back.

"Brother Lian~"

Jia Lian looked for the sound and saw two dainty and exquisite figures beside You Shi.

The older one looked fourteen or fifteen years old, with smooth skin, white and sweet skin, and his temperament looked somewhat similar to Yingchun.

The youngest one is about the age of cardamom, with a small melon seed face and a peach blossom face, and her eyes are constantly rolling around. She looks like a clever ghost girl.

Everyone around watched Jia Lian sizing up the second daughter, and couldn't help smiling.

Sister-in-law You and these two sisters are really good-looking, even the second master Lian, who is now over the top, can't help but look at them more.

You Shi hurriedly introduced: "Second uncle, these are my two younger sisters. Things are so busy at home now that my wife and I can't take care of them, so I called my mother and younger sister to help."

Jia Lian nodded, expressing his understanding, then bent down and cupped his hands, and said to the second young You: "You two sisters are polite."

Xu Shi was moved by Jia Lian's extraordinary demeanor, the older one lowered his head shyly, not daring to look directly at Jia Lian.The younger one gave Jia Lian a few quick glances, and didn't look away until she heard the elder sister talking to Jia Lian about something else.
