"Cousin, Mr. Lin's concubines are all children of the family in the house, and he has not given birth to any children, so naturally he has to live with caution!"
"If a good concubine from an innocent family is married, and has a caring husband, and has an heir by her side, she will be three times better than the inhuman grandmother who entrusted her to the house."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Who would want to be a concubine if she could be a beloved man's wife? Things in the world are unpredictable. As long as you live up to your heart, who knows what will happen in the future!"
Seeing that Daiyu was a little depressed, Baochai quickly stopped talking, then changed his words and said:
"My cousin is still young, so it's not time to think about these things. When you grow up, you will definitely be able to choose a good son-in-law!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Daiyu's face turned red with embarrassment and she chased Baochai and wanted to beat her.
The two quarreled for a while, stopped talking about the concubine, and began to write poems to each other again.
Both of them are strange women who have read extensively since childhood. Although Baochai is older, he has learned a lot of things, while Daiyu is still young, but she is still good at poetry and poetry. Back.
"Grandma, please don't say what you just said to Miss Lin in the future. If my aunt finds out, I'm afraid she will be angry!"
After Daiyu left, Ying'er persuaded Baochai with a worried look on her face.
Baochai also knew what Ying'er meant, so she turned to her and said:
"This is Miss Lin's concern. Someone has to tell it. She can't ask anyone else except me. She can tell it to avoid holding it in her heart and breaking her body. Anyway, I said what she should say. It just depends on how she chooses. !”
After saying that, she ignored Ying'er's doubtful eyes and came inside to start sorting the books on the bookshelf.
Regarding the two golden hairpins, Jia Hui naturally had no way of knowing, and now he was even busier.
The Emperor's decree came from Beijing, and Jia Hui led the Jiangnan Camp and the Chongming Navy to escort the silver back to Beijing.
At the same time, the embroidered clothing guards, general soldiers, and military envoys of the provinces along the way also escorted the troops on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to ensure that the money could enter Beijing safely.
After receiving the order, Jia Hui began to mobilize troops and prepare to return to Beijing.
During this period, Yinglian's mother also came to Yangzhou, and Zhen Shiyin became a monk.
The figure of the monk seemed to have disappeared.
Yinglian's mother, Feng Shi, has been treated as a servant since she returned to her parents' home. Now that she sees that her daughter is valued by her uncle, she does not persuade Yinglian to return home.
Instead, he followed Yinglian and settled down with Jia Hui.
Jia Hui also promised to send someone to inquire about Zhen Shiyin's whereabouts.
At the same time, Jia Hui also took out the spiritual blood elixir and cured Jia Min's body. Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu also used a bottle of third-class elixir each.
This made Lin Ruhai very grateful to Jia Hui, saying that the Lin family would never forget Jia Hui's great kindness, and she just wanted to kowtow to Jia Hui directly.
June and a half!
Jia Hui was ready to return to Beijing.
"Third brother, you won't forget me after you return to Beijing!"
Before leaving, Daiyu was very reluctant to leave Jia Hui and cried so much that the pear blossoms were raining.
"Hahaha, how could it be? I will write to you then. When you arrive in the capital, you must come to me as soon as possible!"
After saying goodbye to Jia Min and Daiyu, under their red eyes, Lin Ruhai sent Jia Hui to the dock, marking that Jia Hui's trip to the south of the Yangtze River was successfully completed.
The entire Jiangnan camp was dispatched to follow the fleet to protect both sides of the river.
The Xiuyi Guards connected the army of the provincial generals and military governors to guard the river, and no one was allowed to approach the river.
The Chongming Navy also sent out all its troops to escort the fleet in front and behind, and the entire waterway was filled with ships for more than ten miles.
However, all ships coming and going must give way to the shore to ensure the safety of these properties.
"well!"
Looking at the slow-moving fleet, Jia Hui couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Is Third Master worried about missing the wedding date with Qin's sister?"
During this period, Baochai and Jia Hui's relationship became much closer. Now seeing Jia Hui talking and sighing, Baochai also smiled and joked.
"You're still making fun of me for coming here. Be careful if your sister comes back to Beijing and causes trouble for you. I won't put in a good word for you then!"
Hearing what Jia Hui said, Baochai still smiled and said:
"I don't believe it. The third master has always said good things about my sister, but I believe it. I won't believe you!"
The two of them chatted all the way, and it was not until September that they arrived at Tongzhou Pier.
At this time, Tongzhou Pier is under martial law.
The road from Tongzhou to Chaoyang Gate was also guarded by soldiers and horses.
Under the escort of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Hujun Camp, Beijing Camp, and Xishan Camp, everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the silver was transported to Liubu Street bit by bit.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
When Tao Chongli, the Minister of Household Affairs, saw Jia Hui, his smile never disappeared and he kept giggling.
"Old Prime Minister, it's time to be more generous now!"
Looking at Tao Chongli's appearance, Jia Hui remembered the scene when he asked him for money because the training in the Xianwu Camp had increased.
"Hahahaha, it's easy to talk, easy to talk about, you ask Wang Jieshi to hand over a note, I will definitely let you Xianwu camp have a good meal of meat."
"But it can only be a month. If it's more, other camps will have objections!"
Seeing that Tao Chongli was still like this, Jia Hui couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
After leaving a list of items, Jia Hui also took another list of items and began to go to the palace to deliver the order.
Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.
Taichang Emperor Li Dan looked at the numbers on the list and gasped again.
"Jia Aiqing's departure is much better than the previous imperial envoys! With so much silver entering the treasury, Tao Chongli's iron cock will no longer keep an eye on my internal funds."
"This year the people of Henan and Shandong will benefit from your grace!"
It seemed that Li Dan was really short of money. Now that he saw so much silver, he was so excited that he couldn't contain himself.
"Your Majesty's words are serious. It's because of His Majesty's protection that I can make a desperate move. I think there should be a lot of memorials to impeach me during this period!"
"Humph! They are all a bunch of national thieves, don't worry about them, my dear."
Li Dan was furious when he mentioned the officials who wrote letters to impeach Jia Hui.
However, thinking that the treasury was full at this time, the unhappiness in my heart quickly disappeared.
"My dear, you have made great contributions to the country on this trip, but you are a noble in charge of the army and have no military merit. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get a reward. I wonder what reward you want?"
This is also the most common thing that emperors say to meritorious ministers, but no one will really tell them the reward they want.
But this time, Jia Hui really wanted the reward.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have received the favor from the Emperor and I dare not claim credit for it. I just want to ask for Your Majesty's approval for some private matters!"
"Oh, what is it?"
Hearing what Jia Hui said, Li Dan also became curious.
"Back to Your Majesty, Miss Qin's family has delayed their wedding because of me, and she wants your Majesty to issue another wedding decree! I also took Miss Jinling's Xue family as my concubine in Jinling, and I want to find a wife for her, and I hope your Majesty will give her a concubine. Your Majesty, tell me, let your Majesty issue an edict!"
After hearing Jia Hui's request, Li Dan was also a little surprised.
No matter what the merit is, the court will eventually reward it, so how can anyone use the credit on a woman in the back house?
There is also one who is actually the concubine of the house.
But if Jia Hui is willing, he will be very happy.
Zheng was worried about how to award the reward. Since Jia Hui was willing to share the credit, he was happy to grant it to him.
"The Xue family of Jinling? But the queen Ziwei gave up her life?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Forget it, since Aiqing said it, I agree! But as a military general, Aiqing must not be too affectionate!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty taught me a lesson that I will definitely bear in mind!"
Seeing that Emperor Taichang agreed, Jia Hui felt relieved.
"Well, you haven't been home for a long time, and I won't keep you here anymore. You can send someone to meet with Tao Shangshu, but you can go home and have a look!"
Jia Hui also quickly resigned and left the Yangxin Hall.
Looking at Jia Hui's leaving figure, Li Dan stared at him for a long time.
"Haha, you are still too young. Children love each other and women are kind!"
