The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 506 Wang Xifeng's Great Discovery
Ma Shangde brought pen and ink, Jia Lian wrote a letter to Jia Min, handed it to Niu Jizong to keep it, and then began to drink.

"Oh, I didn't expect that our family has come to this point now. Every time I think about it, it makes people sigh."

"Brother Niu, you don't need to be emotional. When your family members arrive in Beihai, there may not be a way out. Leave this place at this time, and come back when things are calm in the future."

"Second brother Lian, do you think it will be peaceful? Do you know? University scholar Luo is about to return, Hou Xiaolian is about to be the right servant of the Ministry of War, and Shi Guangzhu is about to be the servant of the Ministry of Rites. And those three families are now the prince's guests. .Hmph, they are all young people stealing high positions. All they do are things that make loved ones hurt and enemies happy."

Liu Fang lost her usual calm demeanor, and after drinking two glasses of wine, her words became fierce.

Hou Xiaolian is the grandson of Hou Guogong, and Shi Guangzhu is the grandson of Shan Guogong. These two families have always been very close to San Francisco.

Jia's family and the two princes are relatively close to Wang Shui's family in Beijing.

As for the "Three Families" mentioned by Liu Fang, they are of course San Francisco.

"Yeah, the thoughts of those three families are known to everyone. I really don't understand why the prince relies on them so much. One day he will regret it. I saw that day, who else will help his family?"

Chen Ruiwen was also aggrieved.This has been said very blatantly.

"Yesterday, Li Yuan went to my uncle and advised him to ask for the bones."

"Please beg for the bones, isn't Uncle Shi only in his 40s, he is in the prime of life..."

"Hey, isn't it because he insisted on verifying the newly added 50 soldiers and horses in various places. In just over a year, 50 new soldiers and horses have been added. How can it be so easy? Uncle suspects that most of the places are falsely reported to defraud military pay Yes, it will naturally block other people's way of making money."

Niu Jizong's uncle is also one of the ministers of the Ministry of War. It seems that he has not escaped the purge this time.Perhaps it was because he was persuaded to leave that the Niu family knew that they had completely lost power and made up their minds to send the younger generation away.

After drinking for a while, Jia Lian and Jia Qiang excused themselves and left.

Although the mansion was under surveillance before, but now is an extraordinary period, and the surveillance must be stricter.Perhaps today when I met Niu Jizong and others, I was monitored by the Jinyi Army.

After leaving Qionglin Restaurant, Jia Lian and Jia Qiang walked separately, with Jia Lian in front and Jia Qiang in the back. After a while, Jia Qiang followed.

It was almost at the gate of Jia Qiang's "Yangguan" that the two reunited.

"Is anyone following you?"

"No."

"Has Niu Jizong left?"

"No, I'm still drinking there."

"Okay, you can go back and rest too."

"Second Uncle Lian, go slowly."

When Jia Lian returned home, Wang Xifeng was still waiting for him.

"You go to your uncle's house tomorrow and pass a message to your aunt."

"Say what?"

So Jia Lian told Zhou Tong about He Jialin's possible transfer from Bu Kui.

"How did you know?"

"Don't worry about where I know it, just say it, even if it's not true, it won't hinder you."

"Hmph, it's good to be back. The province is far away, so my uncle and aunt will worry about it."

What do you know?
Jia Lian wanted to say a few words about Wang Xifeng, but she was afraid that she would ask more questions, so she held back her words.

"Now is an extraordinary time. You should be more careful in what you do. Don't do that illegal thing, so as not to be caught by others."

"What else can I do? Today's mansion is different from the past. You think I can't see it. Even if I want to do it, no one may be willing to help me."

Wang Xifeng said, went to the kang and lay down, and then ignored Jia Lian.

Jia Lian pondered for a while, then went to the kang silently, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The prince shelved the motion to recall Jia Min, and now He Jialin is about to be dismissed. This signal is no longer obvious.

This means that they have completely lost trust in the Jia family.Not only that, but now even the Wang family has begun to weaken.

Among the four great families of Jia Wang Xue Shi, the historians have declined and have no influence.

The Xue family is now left with only Aunt Xue leading Xue Pan and Baochai to live, and it has long since declined, and her power is almost negligible.

The more powerful ones are the Jia family and the Wang family.

At present, the prince's pockets are getting tighter and tighter, and he has almost no scruples.

Even Niu Jizong's family didn't escape.

Master Ji returned home, Xiu Tonggui was imprisoned, Liu Changfeng was transferred to Jiangsu, King Beijing went on a tour, two eunuchs Xia Bingzhong and Qiu Shi'an in the palace were killed, Jia Yucun and Jia's family were cut off.

Even the words of the emperor have lost their effect now.

Fortunately, the fourth brother Min has a vision, and the family still has a way out in Beihai.Otherwise, wouldn't it be like Niu Jizong's family, who still have to take shelter under other people's sect?
The mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

Wang Xifeng sat up again.

"That white-eyed wolf in Jia Yu Village, now it seems that he just ignores our family?"

"Ignore it and ignore it, such a snobbish person, it's better to stay away from him."

"Not only Jia Yucun, but even Jiao Xing has changed. In the past, every time I came here, I wished I could kneel down for a long time, but now even the people sent by our family have disappeared."

"Why did you ask someone to come to her?"

"Yesterday, she celebrated her birthday. I asked Shan Daliang to send some gifts. It was the same in previous years. I didn't even think about it. She didn't even let in the door, and the gifts were confiscated. It's clear that she has ignored our family from now on. "

"Forget it, why bother to be angry with them. He doesn't want it, but he saves money."

"Hmph, full of snobbery. Do they think our family is going to die? When fourth brother Ming comes back in the future, I will definitely talk to fourth brother Min and tell him to get rid of Jia Yucun, the white-eyed wolf."

"Don't talk about it, Jia Yucun is now the Governor of Shuntian, and the fourth brother Min can't do anything about him."

Jia Lian wanted to cover it up, but Wang Xifeng sneered.

Seeing that she was abnormal, Jia Lian also sat up.

"Why are you laughing so much? Could it be that you are sick?"

"Second Lord, you are the only one who is sick. Do you think I don't know what you are doing?"

"What did I do?"

"First, Baoyu and the girls were sent to the fourth brother Min. Brother Qiang came back after arriving in Beihai. Miss Bao, Miss Lin, and Miaoyuhui murdered and set fire to each other. They stayed at home for three days and then left in a hurry. Qin Zhong Escorting the boat, they have already arrived in Tianjin Wei, and they will not go home to see his sister and father. The fourth brother Min has been away for several years and does not come back once. Come back, if he didn’t do something as big as the sky in Beihai, would he still be like this?”

"He's just doing some business there, what's the big deal?"

"Huh, I don't know who the fourth brother Min is? If he wants to make money, what better place is there than the imperial capital and Jiangnan? He doesn't do business in these places, but goes to the ice and snow in Beihai It's business, you are fooling me for a fool."

"Didn't he go to France on business?"

"Our royal family used to be in charge of foreign tributes. Besides, Miss Bao and the others came back from France this time, and they also came from this side. If they brought some goods back, why not sell them on the spot at Daedeok? Trafficked all the way to Beihai? When you get there, can you make more money than here?"

"According to you, what is fourth brother Min doing there?"

"I wondered, he was thinking about rebellion there."

When Wang Xifeng said this, even though Jia Lian had been on the battlefield and fought in the battle, he couldn't make it clear, so he hurriedly covered Wang Xifeng's mouth.

"My aunt, you must not talk nonsense, you will be beheaded."

"Just talking at home, and there are no outsiders, what are you afraid of?"

As far as Wang Xifeng is concerned, his imagination is really strong enough.

Even Jia Qiang, who had been there, didn't realize Jia Min's desire to build a country, let alone Jia Lian.

Although Jia Qiang introduced the situation of the Beihai Self-Government Association, Jia Lian didn't think about it.

As for Jia Min's rebellion, it turned out that the ancestor told him that if the royal family did too much, they would call Jia Min to rebel.

Although Jia Lian was also worried about the prince's actions now, he never thought that there would be a day of rebellion in the future.

"Even if the fourth brother Min wanted to rebel, how could it be so easy? He only has a few people under his command, how many soldiers and horses does the court have? Fourth brother Min is a smart man, and he won't do such stupid things."

"I also think it's impossible, but every time the fourth brother Min does things, isn't it always unexpected? So, you don't have to toss and turn. Even if the fourth brother Min doesn't rebel, there must be a way. The big deal, we will all go to Min Fourth brother. Leaving the imperial capital is a place of wrongdoing."

"It's right to think so. In the future, you must not talk about the rebellion of the fourth brother Min."

"If you don't say it, don't say it. It's just one more thing, have you found it?"

"What's the matter? Could it be that someone is going to rebel again?"

"It's not a rebellion, but it's almost like a rebellion."

"What is it that is so serious?"

"Didn't you see something unusual about Brother Rong's daughter-in-law?"

"What's wrong with her?"

"A few years ago, was she always depressed and moaning all day?"

"It's kind of like that."

"In the past few years, has she been smiling every day, and she seems to feel much more at ease, even if Brother Rong is messing around, she doesn't care at all?"

"So what? Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is virtuous, and even the ancestors like her very much. She is not like you, Yanzhihu."

"I'm telling you seriously. Whenever people talk about Fourth Brother Min, she looks very happy. Others praise Fourth Brother Min, but she never praises Fourth Brother Min in front of others. Don't you think it's abnormal?"

"What's so abnormal about this? Aren't you also happy to hear about the fourth brother Min?"

"It's different for me to be happy than for her to be happy."

"They're all happy, what's the difference?"

"Of course it's different. Baozhu and Ruizhu often inquire about the fourth brother Min. Also, don't you think Jia Yan's visit is a bit strange?"

Jia Yan is Qin Keqing's son.According to the seniority ranking of the Jia family, this generation is the "Shi" generation, so it was named Jia Yan.

"What's so strange?"

"She and Brother Rong haven't had children for so many years, why did they have children like this?"

"This matter is of great importance, so don't make random guesses."

"I don't want to guess, but I just can't help thinking about it, and looking at Jia Yan, I can't help thinking about it even more."

"What happened to Jia Yan?"

"Don't you think that Jia Yan's eyebrows and eyes are not like Brother Rong, but look like another person?"

"Like who?"

"Fourth Brother Min."

Jia Lian went to cover Wang Xifeng's mouth again.

"My living ancestor, don't let your imagination run wild. Rest quickly, and if you think about it any longer, you will become hysterical."

"Actually, I don't think it's possible either."

Wang Xifeng muttered something, and lay down to sleep.

Jia Lian blew out the candle and lay down too.

Lying on the kang, unable to sleep, thinking about Wang Xifeng's words, and thinking about Jia Yan's eyebrows, I feel that he really looks like the fourth brother Min.
