The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 624
Unlike the turbulent winds and storms and repeated wars in Middle-earth, Beihai is peaceful here.

Although the Beihai Volunteer Army has left, the urban and rural construction here is still in full swing.

Driven by the continuous construction boom, industrial commerce also prospered.

Although the Middle Earth in the south is at war at this time, the entire Northeast is already under the control of the Restoration Army, and calm has already been restored, so there is no negative impact on Beihai.

On the contrary, the people from Middle Earth who came to the North Sea continuously brought new technology and capital.

These people, technology and capital are now being brought into Beihai's production and life, adding fresh blood and new vitality to Beihai's economy and society.

Beihai in early summer is as cool and hot as the imperial capital.There is a lot of rain here, and it is close to Lake Feigal. Compared with the dry climate of the imperial capital, it is much wetter here.

Staying in such an environment is more comfortable than in the imperial capital.

The endless Lake Feigal is already lush.The lush green grass, like a huge green carpet, spreads flat on the ground.

The huge green carpet is dotted with red, white and white flowers, blooming in the summer sun.

On a piece of grass, a group of people are having a picnic, there are not many men, mainly women.

People in Pingyuan City are already familiar with this group of people.

They are the family members of Jia Min, the president of the Beihai Self-Government Association.

This is exactly Jia's outing picnic.

The graceful and luxurious old lady in the middle is naturally the ancestor.

The girl who is by her side almost every step of the way is Yuanyang, the ancestor's personal servant girl.

Going down in order, there are Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao, Jia Zhen and Youshi, Aunt Xue, Xue Pan, Xue Biao and the maids Xiangling, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan.

A little farther away, the flirtatious Huaxin young woman who was playing with a boy was Qin Keqing.

After Qin Keqing arrived in Beihai, she took over the housekeeping of the Ningguo Mansion, and then started a business. Just like in the imperial capital, Qin Keqing now supports the internal and external housekeeping of the Ningguo Mansion.

Wang Xifeng was still in charge of the internal affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, and at the same time started his own business.

The business of Rongguo Mansion is managed by Li Wan and Xue Biao.

For the older generation above them, Jia She still ate, drank and had fun every day. Last month, he took a white Tatar woman as his concubine, adding a white woman to his room.

Jia Zheng couldn't stay for nothing, so he went to the self-government meeting every day, and followed Sun Yuanfei to discuss construction matters in various places.

Originally, he was one of the servants of the Ministry of Industry. He was more or less a professional, and he always knew a little about river water conservancy and construction matters.

Although I don't need a salary, I can live a fulfilling life with busy work every day.

As for the ancestors, they are similar to when they were in the imperial capital. They talked with Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, etc. every day to make daily routines, or they were accompanied by Yuanyang and others for a casual walk, and sometimes they even went to the lake. Go up and turn around.

After returning, he called the female relatives of the family to have wine and tea together, and watch a play from time to time.

Although Liu Xianglian and Jiang Yuhan had left, the "Twelve Officials" originally bought from Suzhou in the imperial capital were taken to Beihai a few days ago.This is my family's theater troupe, so it's even more convenient to watch the play.

Several carriages came again, and a few women got off.

The first one was Ping'er, followed by a little girl, the daughter of Ping'er and Jia Min.

Then came Shen Bingyi, Xiren, Third Sister You, Gu Panpan, and Yizhihuaqu Pianxian.

Shen Bingyi is Jia Min's concubine, Xiren is originally from the mansion, Third Sister You is You's younger sister, Gu Panpan is Jiao Li's wife, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are all from Jia's mansion.

Qu Pianxian is Zhao Dahai's wife, Zhao Dahai was originally assigned by Jia Min, and he is also familiar with Jia Lian and others, so it's not surprising that he got mixed up in Jia's circle.

Ping'er and the others brought some food, and the maids took it and put it on the table.

"There are so many things here, can I eat it? It costs so much money."

The old lady complained, but she was very happy in her heart.

"Ancestor, I made this by myself, and I'll give it to you to try something new. It won't cost you much."

While talking, Ping'er was arranging food with the maid.

"You guys are busy with business, so you don't have to come to me all the time. When the girls first left, I was a little lonely, but now I'm used to it, and I don't have to worry about seeing them."

"The old ancestor's words are insincere. Who always asks me about girls? Is he thinking about this for a while, and that for a while?"

Wang Xifeng came out to help again.

"You talk too much like a monkey, so why don't I just ask? Ping'er, do you have something to do here today?"

"It's just something. The fourth master, the second master Lian and the girls all sent letters. I sent them specially to make the ancestor happy."

"Really, take out the letter quickly, Brother Zhu and wife, please read it."

Ping'er handed a stack of letters to Li Wan, and Li Wan began to read the letters.

The first letter was from Jia Min. It didn't have too much content. It just greeted the ancestors, parents and others, and briefly introduced the situation of the battle. He said that the imperial capital had been captured, and after Chang'an ascended the throne, he would lead his troops back to Beihai.

In the past, Jia Min often sent letters back, introducing some situations, but now that he has captured the imperial capital, he naturally does not find it strange.

The second letter was Jia Lian's letter, which said at the beginning that he had returned to the mansion in the imperial capital, and that everything was fine with the mansion and servants.

Everyone was waiting to continue reading, when Li Wan suddenly stopped reading, tears streaming down his face.

"Brother Zhu, daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"

The old lady wondered.

"Jia Yucun has caught it."

Jia Zheng stood up suddenly, snatched the letter from Li Wan, read it greedily, read it three times, and finally confirmed that it was true.

Then he knelt down in front of the old lady and kowtowed three times.

"The ancestors are alive, and the mother is blessed and blessed. The thief in Jia Yu Village has finally been caught. Brother Lian and the girls killed him in front of the eldest girl's mausoleum. Well, the heavens have eyes."

The old lady stood up suddenly.

"Hahaha, this kind of villain, finally evil will be rewarded with evil, and the eldest girl can rest in peace."

Then he turned to Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue.

"You two sisters can breathe a sigh of relief this time, and don't have to worry about it anymore. Good job, good job, brother Lian and the girls are worthy of being descendants of my Jia family."

Mrs. Wang had already burst into tears, but at this moment she just nodded her head again and again, speechless.

For Jia Yucun, she can be said to have a double hatred.

Jia Yuanchun here is his daughter, and Wang Ziteng is his brother over there. In addition, Jia Yucun had already hated Jia Yucun to the bone for his cruel treatment of the Jia family.

When Aunt Xue heard that the culprit who murdered her brother had died, she was also very excited, with mixed feelings, she hugged Mrs. Wang, and the two sisters lost their voices in pain.

The others also hated Jia Yucun so much that they couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing the grown-ups here crying, a few children didn't know why, and they were so frightened that they burst into tears.

At this time, the old lady came to her senses.

"Okay, this is a happy event, why are you crying, you should be happy, look at it, it scared the child to cry. Okay, don't cry, eat wine, drink wine, and celebrate well. Brother Zhu Daughter-in-law, you recite the beliefs of the girls."

The letters from the girls are mostly routine. They are nothing more than greetings and greetings, and then they introduce their situation in Middle-earth. Don't worry about it. In the future, they will return to Beihai as soon as the affairs over there are over.

Finally, there is Baochai's letter. This letter is quite special, specifically mentioning the marriage between Jia Min and Chang'an.

Baochai said in the letter that he was willing to dissolve his engagement with Jia Min, to be Jia Min's concubine, and to give up his wife's seat to Chang'an.

This time, everyone stopped talking and looked at the ancestor together.

Regarding the marriage between Chang'an and Jia Min, the letters from Jia Min, Jia Lian and the girls have already been mentioned.

Later, King Beijing, Ji Mingluan and Dai Quan also wrote to Beihai about this matter.

The old lady and others also felt that this matter was tricky, but Jia Min was not around, and it was hard for them to make any decisions, so this matter has been dragged on.

Today I saw Baochai's letter saying so, so I have to explain it, otherwise I can't justify it to Aunt Xue.

The old lady drank a glass of wine and stood up.

"Miss Bao is a person who understands the general situation. She did this because she didn't want to embarrass us and Brother Ming. However, the marriage between her and Brother Ming was settled by us. She and Brother Ming were both satisfied at the beginning. Yes, so, this matter cannot be changed. This matter cannot be left to Miss Bao to decide. No matter when, Miss Bao is the main wife. "

"Yes, yes, as it should."

Mrs. Wang is Baochai's aunt, so she naturally favors Baochai in her heart.What's more, Baochai is generous and decent in handling things, and she is exquisite in all aspects. Mrs. Wang has always liked Baochai.

Even Jia Zheng had no opinion on this.

The old lady and Mrs. Wang have said this, so naturally others can't say anything else.

For them, Baochai is one of their own, so naturally they are much closer than Chang'an.

"However, Chang'an is also a good girl. Although her brother is not very good, he stole our house, but if Chang'an hadn't interceded for us, we would have died long ago, and we wouldn't be here today. Chang'an has saved our family, Let's not forget either."

"Yuan Heng betrothed Chang'an to brother Ming, and he also thinks highly of our family. Although he was confused before, he finally understood. Besides, the whole world knows about it. If our family divorces, Chang'an will also be known as the people of the world in the future." It's a ridicule, she will be the emperor in the future, how can she be the emperor?"

"If Chang'an becomes the emperor, it will be our family's honor to enter our family in the future. This kind of marriage is something that many people can't even dream of. Is there any reason not to allow it?"

"There is only one main room. With Miss Bao, Chang'an can't be called the main room. If Chang'an is called the side room, not only will he be wronged, but even the virtuous will not agree."

"So, this matter is very difficult. I've thought about it, but I haven't come up with any good solution. However, there must be a way after all. Now, I will tell you my way. Can you take a look?"

This matter, the reason and the facts are obvious there, even if the old lady doesn't say it, everyone will understand.

There are always discussions in private, and no one has any good ideas.

Now that the old lady said that she had a solution, she couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"Mother, tell me, what is your idea?"

Jia Zheng was in a hurry.

"My idea is to rule by doing nothing. As long as Miss Bao is the wife, we don't care about the rest of the matter, and let Brother Ming decide for himself."

What's the idea?Isn't it the same as saying nothing.

Everyone can't help but look at each other
