Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 152 Inside the Mansion
When Jia Qiang left the Daming Palace, Dai Quan brought twelve dancers, and the leading dancer was the one who had just danced in the Daming Palace.

"This is given to you by the Emperor. You must remember the kindness of the Emperor!" Dai Quan said with a smile.

The twelve dancers bowed in unison and saluted. Each of these dancers who came from the palace was of heavenly beauty.

"This..." Jia Qiang still wanted to refuse, but seeing Dai Quan's look, she understood that it was not up to him.

How could he refuse the gift from the Supreme Emperor? Once he refused, it would be a disgrace to the Supreme Emperor.

"Thank you for your grace!" Jia Qiang could only bow and bow to the Daming Palace.

When he entered the palace, he was alone, but when he returned, there were four carriages.

Returning to Jiahou Mansion, Jia Qiang took twelve dancers to meet Jia Min.

"Who are these women?" Jia Min couldn't help but ask when he saw Jia Qiang arriving and the twelve beautiful women following Jia Qiang.

She could tell that the way these women walked and the expressions on their faces had the charm and tenderness unique to actors.

"I've thought about it, and I'm ready to reopen my family tree and establish a new clan!" Jia Qiang had already made up his mind, and he replied.

As a Marquis, even though there are not many guests coming to the house now, it is because Jia Qiang is still young and is preparing to participate in the examination next year, so she doesn't have many friends.

"If Sister Lin wants to make friends with the three Jia girls, just post in the name of Sister Lin. It has nothing to do with us externally!" Jia Qiang replied after pondering for a moment.

When the Jia Mansion was at its peak, it also raised actors. In the Lord's Mansion in the capital, many dancers and actors were raised. This was considered a fashion in the capital.

"Jade, you are the housekeeper of the house now, let others do these things from now on!" Jia Qiang was a little worried that Jade was too busy and said casually.

However, she would not interfere with Jia Qiang's decision. This matter was not a trivial matter. The twelve-year-old Jia Qiang was kicked out of the Jia family and expelled from the family tree. No one had the power to persuade Jia Qiang to go back.

When she saw the twelve dancers given by the Supreme Emperor, Lin Daiyu thought that the Supreme Emperor must have heard the rumors in Jiangnan.

"It seems that you really don't plan to return to the Jia clan!" Jia Min already knew his decision, but still said with emotion.

"Look at the arrangements!" Jia Qiang was still very relieved about Jade.

Rongguo Mansion sent people to move all the ancestral tablets in Jia's ancestral hall back, and rebuilt the ancestral hall in Rongguo Mansion.

Although Lin Ruhai will return to Beijing next year, she still has deep feelings for Yangzhou and has lived in Yangzhou for many years after her marriage.

"Chuck!" Before Jia Min could say anything, Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing.

The dancing girl comes in handy when receiving guests in the mansion.

"Yangzhou Jia family!" Jia Min couldn't help laughing when she heard Jia Qiang's words, especially the word Yangzhou.

But in fact, Jia Qiang didn't do anything to go beyond Yun Fei and Zhu Jun, but the world's evaluation of Jia Qiang was still a young romantic.

"Why are you crying? It's not because you are worried and tired. Since you are willing, you can always be my personal maid!" Jia Qiang shook her head helplessly.

In history, she had no one to teach her. She was a bit willful, and her words were sharp and sharp. She offended people without knowing it, which was why she didn't get much help in marriage.

"Master, do you dislike Jade?" When Jade heard this, tears couldn't stop falling and she asked.

Jia Qiang was a little curious. He just came back from Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu never mentioned this matter, but she thought maybe Lin Daiyu was embarrassed to trouble herself.

"You usually practice dancing in the Dengxian Pavilion, and you are given two taels of silver per month, and the rest can be purchased at your own expense!" Jia Min waved his hand to the dancers to get up, and made more arrangements.

"The past is past. I have nothing to do with the Jia family in Beijing anymore. From now on I will be the Jia family in Yangzhou!" Jia Qiang said with a smile.

At this time, Lin Daiyu was in happiness, and she did not consider the influence of women's sex on Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang returned to the main hall, and Feicui brought hot water to help him wipe his face.

She was very clear about Jia Qiang's character. When she was in Jiangnan, Xue Pan first sent Yun Fei, the first prostitute in Jiangnan, to make the world think that Jia Qiang liked famous prostitutes, and that was how Zhu Jun came to be.

After coming out of the palace, she was given Jia Qiang by the Supreme Emperor, which made Yi Ya and the other dancers feel terrified.

She was born in the Jia family, and she would certainly be happy if Jia Qiang could return to the Jia family.

"There are a lot of maids in the mansion now, so I will arrange for twelve maids to go there. I will also go there from time to time to have a look. If anything happens, I will try to solve it!" Jade nodded.

"Brother Qiang, this is a gift from the Supreme Emperor, and it will be arranged in the Dengxian Pavilion!" Jia Min quickly stopped Jia Qiang's nonsense and expressed her thoughts.

Jia Min is satisfied with the addition of a dancing girl in the house.

"Miss Lin wants to hold a poetry party, and she also wants to invite the three Miss Jia next door. She asked me today and asked the master to decide!" Feicui continued.

Since she got engaged to Jia Qiang, Jia Min has been teaching her how to be a qualified wife.

When Jia Qiang is older and has a wider circle of friends, she will have a lot of social interactions.

But when they entered Jiahou's mansion, they found that Jia Qiang did not treat them lightly.

Jia Qiang is everything to her, and her life revolves around Jia Qiang.

"Master's wife, these are the dancers gifted by the Supreme Emperor. It's up to you to arrange them!" Jia Qiang replied helplessly.

Jade burst into tears and laughed. She had been with Jia Qiang since she was twelve years old, and they had gone through the most difficult days together.

"Jade, please pay more attention to the twelve dancers today and send some maids and nannies over!" Jia Qiang thought of the dancers and explained.

Jia's mother tested Jia Qiang many times, and Jia Qiang made it clear at the last time that she had no intention of returning to the Jia family in the capital.

"Brother Qiang, Jia's ancestral hall has been moved. Do you have other plans there?" After Jia Min sent Yi Ya and other dancers to Dengxian Pavilion, he stopped Jia Qiang who was about to leave and asked.

"Sister Lin, since you like it, these dancers will be left to you!" Jia Qiang smiled and looked at Lin Daiyu and said.

"Sisters Yi Ya, thank Mrs. Lin!" The leading dancer bowed and saluted.

He has been really busy these days, spending a lot of time studying, and going to the Imperial College from time to time for classes.

"Whatever Sister Lin wants to do in the future, I will try my best to satisfy her. In addition, I will prepare five hundred taels of silver for her poetry meeting and let the new dancer help her!" Jia Qiang continued.

"Then Miss Lin will be very happy!" Jade said with a chuckle.

Jia Qiang didn't explain much. Five hundred taels of silver was nothing. Lin Ruhai got him eight million taels of silver through Yan Yin.

The autumn wind in October made the weather in the capital turn cold.

The scenery in Huifang Garden is still very beautiful, and the beauty of autumn has a different charm from the beauty of other seasons.

Lin Daiyu, Miaoyu, Yinglian, Xing Xiuyan, Yunfei, Zhujun, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun, a group of daughters were in the pavilion of Huifang Garden, making tea and discussing poetry around the stove. Laughter could be heard from time to time, putting smiles on the faces of the maids and maids serving around them.

"Why isn't Brother Qiang here?" Lin Daiyu waited for a while, but when she didn't see Jia Qiang arriving, she turned around and asked.

"The master said he would come back later and let the girls play first!" Qin'er replied with a smile.

"If this were at home, Brother Bao would have been here long ago!" Tan Chun said with a smile when he saw this.

"There is no reason to say what he did!" Lin Daiyu shook her head and continued.

She has a very bad impression of Jia Baoyu, and now she is impatient even when she hears Baoyu's name.

Tanchun was quick-thinking, so when he saw this, he stopped mentioning Baoyu and changed the topic.

She cherished this gathering very much. The three sisters did not live a satisfactory life in Rongguo Mansion and rarely made friends.

Being able to be together with so many sisters this time is a rare joy for them.

Tanchun envied the life in Jiahou's house. She was the best at observing faces. She found that not only Lin Daiyu was truly happy, but the other girls were also happy from the bottom of their hearts.

She could feel the unrestrained happiness from each of the girls, which she had never felt in the Rongguo Mansion.

"Sister Xichun, how are you doing in Rongguo Mansion? Let me tell Brother Qiang, are you willing to let you live here?" Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Xichun and asked.

When the Ningguo Mansion was sealed, the ancestor happened to take Jia Xichun to his side, so he kept Jia Xichun in the Rongguo Mansion.

Although the Ningguo Mansion is gone now, the You family is still in the mansion, and Xichun can be regarded as having relatives in the Jiahou Mansion.

"I..." Jia Xichun yearned for the life in Jiahou's mansion. She had a cold temperament, but she was not really emotionless. Besides being the youngest, she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"It's up to You to discuss this matter with our ancestors!" Lin Daiyu waved her hand grandly and said.

Xichun's eyes sparkled, life in Rongguo Mansion was not easy, and she felt the warmth and warmth of human kindness at a young age.

Although when Jia Qiang left Ning Guo Mansion, she was still a little forgetful, but she instinctively got closer to Jia Qiang because he was an old friend of Ning Guo Mansion.

When Huifangyuan was busy, Jia Qiang was in the study.

He keeps the Jiangnan information transferred from the Supervisor of Ceremonies in his hand. When he is studying, he will take out this Jiangnan information and look at it.

"What's going on? This Yinglian was brought back to my house by me, but something happened to Xue Pan?" When Jia Qiang saw a piece of information, she couldn't help but pick it up and read it carefully.

The matter is similar to the case that happened in the original work, except that the maid Xue Pan and the young master of the Feng family are fighting over is a different person.

Similarly, during the fight, Xue Pan's servant worked too hard and injured the young master of the Feng family.

The young master of the Feng family died after returning home, and Xue Pan was sued for his life.

During this period, Jia Yucun, who had just arrived at Jinling Yingtian Mansion, received this human life lawsuit.

Just like what happened in the original work, after Jia Yucun learned Xue Pan's identity, he bent the law and decided the case randomly. The Feng family got a lot of money for burial, and there was no other way.

Jia Qiang shook her head. This matter was a bit bizarre, as if someone was behind it.

"It seems that Xue Pan is about to enter Beijing, but I don't know if it will affect Xue Baochai's entry into the palace!" Jia Qiang put the information back on the table and murmured to herself.

"Jia Yucun, Jia Yucun, this matter is enough to make you irrecoverable!" He said helplessly.

Regarding Jia Yucun, he has always let it go. Whatever he did, it all happened later.

But what happened this time shows that Jia Yucun is still the same Jia Yucun.

It's just ridiculous that both the Xue family and Jia Yucun thought that this kind of thing could be deceived, but how did they know that such information could reach Jia Qiang, and it could also reach Emperor Jingwen and the Supreme Emperor.

The Xue family will be in trouble, but it will not damage its roots.

At most, Xue Pan would have some hardships alone. Jia Qiang didn't want to interfere in this matter. Xue Pan was too impulsive and reckless, so he had to suffer a little before he could grow up earlier.

As long as Jia Qiang keeps an eye on her and doesn't let Xue Pan really worry about her life, the rest is not a big deal.

He also did not take the initiative to contact Xue Tong. As the Jiangnan Supervision System took shape, his industry was also included in the Jiangnan Supervision System.

In terms of business, he relied less and less on the Xue family. Even if the Xue family wanted to take back the many manpower they sent, they would not be able to do so.

The eunuchs stationed in Jinling will prevent any actions that want to affect his business. His business is equivalent to being protected by the imperial power.

Jia Qiang picked up another document, which was a document for purchasing a war horse through the Royal Horse Supervisor.

After such a period of time, the Royal Horse Supervisor only purchased 3,000 war horses for him.

There are still 4,000 war horses that will arrive after the new year. These war horses are all purchased from the Western Regions.

He looked at the document and frowned slightly. Just looking at the document, he felt something was wrong.

Under normal circumstances, even if the grassland blocks the sale of war horses, some private channels cannot be completely blocked.

There are many tribes in the grassland, and some tribes have business relationships with Daqian. They are willing to sell some war horses to Daqian in exchange for various items.

This kind of thing cannot be prohibited at all, but on the document in hand, there is no war horse from the grassland, which is a bit strange.

This is not just a few war horses. For the purchase of 7,000 war horses, the Royal Horse Superintendent did not contact him himself, but handed over the business to the imperial merchant who specialized in the war horse business.

"Did something happen to the grassland?" Jia Qiang guessed.

But he shook his head again. With what he had in hand, it was difficult for him to make an accurate judgment.

The grassland is the biggest trouble for Dagan. The Tatars, Jurchens and Oasis, these grassland tribes always want to swallow up Dagan. The richness of Dagan stimulates the grassland tribes.

"I hope it's my misjudgment!" Jia Qiang sighed.

But he himself also knew that after practicing the Immortal's Technique, the Taixu Sutra, he was more sensitive and accurate in judging this general trend.

Now he just hopes that Daqian's army can still fight, but he doesn't want all lives to be ruined.

He plans to go to the West Camp in the near future to supervise the training of the two guards. At least if a war really breaks out, the two guards will be able to form a certain combat effectiveness.

He looked at the time, stood up, and put aside what was on his mind. But he remembered Lin Daiyu's poetry meeting and couldn't forget the agreement, which made Lin Daiyu angry.
