The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 370 The Woman of the Wang Family

"It must be guarded against."

Jia Jian believed that the meeting between the imperial court and the barbarian envoy should be destroyed, and he was afraid of the unexpected. Who knew whether the imperial court would negotiate with the barbarian envoy.

Even if it is delayed for a year or two, Jinjiang Town will have nothing to fear when the Jinjiang army completely defeats the barbarians.

"In King Zhongshun's territory, what can we do? We can still send people to kill the barbarian envoys, and even if we do this, it will only irritate the court even more."

Liu Chengmin said.

His family is in Jinling, but his identity is different from that of his eldest brother. Although he is his right-hand man, the court will not deal with him.

He has a big brother on his head.

Brother is here.

His clan in Jinling is not in any danger, and he is not in a hurry to move his parents to Jinzhou.

Therefore, at the end of the year, he dared to go back to Jinling to reunite with his family.

He had just returned to Jinzhou from Jinling, but encountered this kind of trouble. He sent Tang Zhanwang and Leng Zixing to the pier, and he rushed over.

"The root of solving this matter is not in Liaoxi, but in the imperial court. Those who can solve this matter have to wait."

Jia Jian laughed.

"Who?"

Liu Chengmin looked over curiously.

Jia Jian looked at the general.

Tang Qing'an vaguely understood Jia Jian's thinking.

~~~~~
The end of the New Year's Eve.

Jia Yucun is a native of Huzhou, born in a family of officials, but in his generation, the foundation of his ancestors has been exhausted, the population has declined, and he is the only one left.

Counting from the time when he entered Beijing to rush for the exam, after recovering, he was promoted to the prefect of Yingtian Mansion, eight or nine years passed, and another seven years passed.

In his official career, he has spent fifteen or sixteen years.

He had a 13-year-old daughter with Jiao Xing, the maidservant of his mother Zhen's family in Xiangling's family.

Jia Yucun was a poor scholar before entering Beijing to enroll in an imperial examination.

Although he was quite poor in old clothes and scarves, he was born with a round waist and a thick back, a wide face and a square mouth, with sharp eyebrows and star eyes, and a straight nose and cheeks.

He could be regarded as a top-notch talent, otherwise he wouldn't be valued by Zhen Shiyin.

Not only did he often help him with his life, but he also gave him money to go to Beijing to catch the exam. The silver taels are not a small amount.

And Jiao Xing's face can make Jia Yucun not forget it for many years. After becoming an official, he sent people to search for the Zhen family, which shows her beauty.

Therefore, Jia Yucun is very pleased with her daughter's character.

In a few years, she will marry Tang Zhanwang, the younger brother of Marquis Pingliao. Regardless of his son-in-law's family property or power, he will be able to satisfy Jia Yucun.

Tang Zhanwang is in Jinling, not far from Huzhou, so Jia Yucun intentionally did not bring his family to take up the post, and entrusted Tang Zhanwang to take care of him, so as to deepen his relationship.

After saying goodbye to his wife and daughter, Jia Yucun boarded a Jinling ship and went straight to Jinzhou.

When Tang Zhanwang and Leng Zixing returned to Jinling, Jia Yucun had already sailed out to sea. After the two parted, Tang Zhanwang came to his father-in-law's house to pay his respects to the old age.

Jia Yucun is over forty years old, and Jiao Xing is only in her early thirties. She was born as a maid, and the master attaches great importance to his son-in-law.

Jiao Xing led the maid, and met Tang Zhanwang outside, leaving her daughter inside.

Not to mention the fact that the mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more.

When Jia Yucun arrived in Jinzhou, someone had already been waiting for the news of his return. After seeing him, he hurriedly informed Marquis Pingliao that he had something to discuss.

at this time.

In Pingliaohou's mansion, under Langfang next to the front yard, Tang Qing'an was talking with Chen Kaiwu.

During the Chinese New Year, Leng Zixing and Zhang Zhanwang brought up the situation of Denglai. Tang Qing'an had heard about it, but he hadn't had time to deal with it in the future.

Therefore, Jinjiang Town has not yet responded to the refugees at Denglai Wharf.

Now that he heard about the tragedy, Tang Qing'an recruited Chen Kaiwu without waiting for the officials to go to work.

The new governor of Denglai is Han Hao, who is from western Liaoning and has a close relationship with the general, and Chen Kaiwu also recognizes him.

"Denglai Wharf needs to be rectified, the situation is serious now, and ships from Jinjiang Town cannot rush to Denglai Wharf.

So this matter can only depend on Han Hao, you take my letter and go to negotiate with him, and you must strongly support the refugees to find a way out. "

Chen Kaiwu nodded repeatedly.

Although Denglai and Jinzhou faced each other across the sea, Jinzhou could not control Denglai, let alone intervene rashly.

The best strategy is to rely on the network of relationships to meet the needs of Jinjiang Town.

Just happened to have this relationship again.

Otherwise, even with the friendship of the Chief Secretary of Shandong, if the matter is pushed down to the local government, it may not be smooth, and the county magistrate is not as good as it is now.

Before Chen Kaiwu left, Jia Yucun entered Pingliaohou's mansion.

The two did not mention specific matters during their interview.

The taste of the new year in Beijing is still lively.

During the Lantern Festival, Jia's Mansion held a big show.

Baoyu came out of the garden. Before he got close to the garden gate, two daughters-in-law came to meet him. They only saw a man, but they didn't have time to recognize Baoyu, so they were shocked.

"who is it."

"Baoyu is here, you yell and scare him carefully."

Just came to meet Baoyu, and several maids who followed, one of them, Qiu Wen was dissatisfied.

"We don't know, it's a big festival and it's causing trouble. The girls have worked hard for days."

The two daughters-in-law hurriedly explained with a smile, and when they came to the front, they confirmed that it was Baoyu.

The girls in the mansion who have not left the pavilion, and the girls from relatives who have not left the pavilion, are all getting older and living in the garden.

The deacon's daughters-in-law got the strictness from above and became more careful, so this happened.

The entire Grand View Garden.

Except for Baoyu, no man can enter at will, including the gentlemen in the mansion, and they will not easily enter the garden.

Only when she was with Jia Mu occasionally, would she follow the crowd.

Baoyu's maid, seeing the deacons' wives holding things in their hands, Sheyue asked curiously: "What are you holding?"

Although she is a little girl, she has a first-class status, the daughters-in-law replied seriously.

"It's the old lady's bounty, and the two girls are eating it."

Hearing this, Qiu Wen laughed.

"The song "Ba Yi" was sung outside, but "Hunyuan Box" was not sung, and the 'Golden Flower Empress' came out again."

Baoyu loves girls the most. Seeing Sheyue Qiuwen and others are interested, he smiled and asked the deacon's wife to open it.

Qiuwen and Sheyue, hearing Baoyu's order, hurried up to open the two boxes without waiting for the deacon's wife to receive them.

The two deacon's wives even squatted down, holding the box in their hands so that Baoyu could see clearly.

The two boxes contained all the high-quality fruits and dishes on the table. Baoyu nodded and walked away.

Sheyue and the others hurriedly tossed the lid of the box and followed, but the two deacon's wives hurriedly tidied up their hands and feet.

A group of people walked and laughed.

Baoyu smelled the fragrance of the daughter beside him, and his heart was ready to move.

"These two women are friendly and can talk. They are tired every day, and they say that you have worked hard for days, so you are not the ones who boast of your achievements."

Musk Moon said: "It's good and it's good, and those who are not polite are also too rude."

"You are sensible people, it's over if you worry about them being poor and clumsy people."

Jia Baoyu approached Sheyue and Qiuwen, as if he wanted to hold their hands, and came to the gate of the garden while talking.

Although he is favored, he is restrained by his grandmother and mother, and even more strict by his father. Even if he likes his daughter, he doesn't dare to mess around.

Only when the door is closed, do you dare to be presumptuous. For the real thing, you have tried it with Xiren.

With the reward from the master's house, the wives who waited for Baoyu in the concierge, and the wives who were in the concierge and the gatekeepers were eating wine and fighting cards, but they also listened to all directions.

Hearing the movement, they quickly followed.

A group of people came to the back porch of the flower hall, and saw the two little girls, one holding a small washbasin, the other holding a towel, and waiting there for a long time with a retting pot.

Qiu Wen hurriedly stretched out her hand to try it in the basin, and said accusingly.

"The older you get, the more careless you become. Where did you get the cold water?"

The little girl smiled and said: "Miss, look at the sky, I'm afraid the water will be cold, and the water poured is boiling, it's still cold."

Just as I was talking, I happened to see an old woman walking with a pot of boiling water.

The little girl said, "Good grandma, come and pour me some."

The woman said: "Brother, this is the old lady who makes tea. I advise you to go and scoop it up, because you will get tired from walking anywhere!"

Qiu Wen stepped forward to stop the mother-in-law.

"Depending on who you are, if you don't give it to me, I'll pour the old lady's tea pot and wash her hands."

When the woman turned around and saw that it was Qiu Wen, she hurriedly picked up the pot and poured it down.

Qiuwen said: "That's enough. You are so old and you don't know much about it. Who knows that it's the old lady's water! People who don't need it dare to ask for it?"

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "My eyes were dazzled, and I didn't recognize this girl."

Baoyu washed his hands, and the little girl poured some retting seeds into his hand from a small pot, and Baoyu was retting.Autumn pattern and sheyue also took advantage of hot water to wash once, retting, and went into the big flower hall with Baoyu.

The big flower hall is very lively.

Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and the You family and Hu family of Ningguo Mansion are all there, as well as Aunt Xue and other relatives.

The girls below laughed even more.

Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin, Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun, Yingchun, Xichun, Li Wen, Li Qi, Xing Xiuyan.

After all, Baoyu, the governor, didn't just play with his sisters, but asked for a pot of warm wine. Aunt Li and Aunt Xue poured it out, and they both laughed and gave way to sit down.

Sitting in the chair, Jia Mu laughed and said, "He's young, let him pour it out. We're going to drink this cup." Then, Jia Mu did it by herself.

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were also busy, and they all smiled and let Aunt Xue and Aunt Li finish their work, and they both had no choice but to do it.

Baoyu then laughed and said, "I pour my sisters and sisters together. Don't pour them indiscriminately. You have to tell them to drink."

Baoyu picked up the thermos and filled them one by one.

In front of Baochai, she refused to drink. She picked up the cup and put it beside Tanchun's lips. Tanchun was not polite, took it and drank it dry.

Baochai smiled and said, "Thank you."

Baoyu poured another cup for Baochai and Tanchun.

Xue Baochai is 17 years old. In the original text of the Red Chamber, because of the raid on the Grand View Garden, an affair was discovered.

In order to avoid suspicion, Xue Baochai's family officially moved out of Grand View Garden, just 17 years old.

Now, because of Tanchun's appearance at that time, the plagiarism was interrupted, resulting in the death of two Siqi lovers, and this tragedy did not happen.

Siqi and her cousin were entrusted to the elders of the family, formally begged the favor of the master's family, and released them to marry.

The girl is old enough to be a matchmaker.

But Aunt Xue didn't mention it, and neither did the others.

Some things are well known.

For example, Jia Zheng's protégé, Fu Shi, who is now the judge of Jinling, often sent his younger sister to play in the mansion before leaving Beijing.

Already 23 years old and still unmarried, she has been waiting for a good marriage to enter the noble family.

Changing the other woman would have long been ashamed, but Xue Baochai is still dignified and dignified, no one looks down on her.

Playing around with Jia Tanchun as usual, as if nothing happened.

Sister Feng laughed and said, "Miss San, be careful not to get drunk."

She, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue are all daughters of the Wang family. Although Jia Tanchun is Jia Zheng's daughter, she did not come out of the womb of a woman from the Wang family.
