Just when Jia Heng was leading Qin Keqing to her parents' home, they were in the courtyard of a black throttle house not far from Rongguo Mansion.
In the side room, Jia She was talking to Mrs.
When Lin Zhixiao had just come over to inform Jia She that he was going to Dongfu Ancestral Hall to worship his ancestors tomorrow morning, Jia She's dissatisfaction had already accumulated to the limit.
As soon as Lin Zhixiao left, Jia She's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a cold voice: "I will worship my ancestors tomorrow. This kid is getting more and more satisfied."
Jealousy surged up uncontrollably in his heart, thinking that he was only a first-class general, so how could he be promoted to a first-class baron?
There was frost on Mrs. Let Ping'er go look for the troupe."
Jia She said coldly: "She is used to asking for tricks, and Brother Lian can't control her."
This is about Sister Feng. Because Jia Lian stole Yanhong from his concubine, she was rewarded with Qiu Tong, and Qiu Tong entered the back house, which was not a waste of money. Sister Feng was very resentful towards Jia She and Mrs. Xing. It shows in his normal attitude.
Mentioning Jia Lian, Jia She's eyes dimmed. Although some things have passed for a while, some things are not carefully examined, but they are like scars. Although they heal, when you pull them, they will reveal bloody buds.
Fortunately, Jia Lian has been quite capable recently, running around to the north and helping him earn a lot of money.
Just treat Yanhong as a reward for that bastard.
Jia She took a deep breath, suppressed his negative emotions, and said, "Lian'er went to visit his relatives. It's time to come back at this time. Since he's not home, please take the time to talk to his wife."
Mrs. Xing responded.
As a mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing can still handle Sister Feng even though she comes from a small family.
The couple talked casually.
Mrs. Xing hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Sir, my brother is in Suzhou, and life at home is not easy. A letter came the day before yesterday, saying that he wanted to come to Beijing. What do you think, sir?"
It turns out that Mrs. Xing's brother Xing Zhong sent a letter not long ago and wanted to go to Beijing. In fact, life at home was really difficult and he wanted to come and join Mrs. Xing.
However, Mrs. Xing flattered Jia She blindly. She was afraid of annoying Jia She and did not dare to make decisions without authorization. She wanted to listen to Jia She's ideas.
Jia She picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said impatiently: "You can just decide for yourself on such small matters. You don't need to ask me about everything."
When Mrs. Xing heard this, she smiled and said, "Then I'll let them come to Beijing."
Different from the original work, Xing Xiuyan and his family were not allowed to enter Beijing until after the Grand View Garden was completed. Now, due to the butterfly effect, this Miaoyu friend, a dignified, elegant, comfortable and self-sufficient woman, entered Beijing ahead of schedule.
While the two were discussing, a servant called from under the eaves, "Sir, there is someone named Sun Shaozu. Please hand over the greeting card and come to visit the master."
Jia She frowned, and when he heard Sun Shaozu's name, he looked uneasy and snorted: "Sun Shaozu, what is he doing here again?"
This Sun Shaozu was so tired that he knelt down in the ancestral hall for the first time. On the 29th day of the first year of the lunar month, he came again and asked him to introduce Jia Heng's son. This time on the second day of the new year, he came to visit again, just like a debt collector.
The servant whispered: "I said I came to see the master and that I would like to give you a generous gift. Here is the gift list."
Since Sun Shaozu visited Jia She last time, he was unwilling to meet Jia Heng as he wished. He lingered in the capital for a while, but still couldn't find a way to fill the gap. He waited until yesterday and heard that Jia Heng The news that he was promoted to baron immediately made his mind come alive again.
I spent another five to six hundred taels of silver to buy some affordable gifts, and came to visit Jia She, planning to explore some more connections.
Jia She took the gift list from the servant, glanced at it, twirled his short beard under his chin with his hand, his face softened a little, and said: "Take him to the hall and wait, sir, I will be there later."
Although the matter of waiting for promotion cannot be done, the gift should still be accepted. If you want to give a gift to someone, you will not ask for the five thousand taels of silver.
The flower hall is luxuriously decorated.
Sun Shaozu was dressed in the robes of a military attache, with a majestic figure, sitting upright on a nanmu chair, with a gloomy and uncertain expression on his bearded face. At first glance, he looked somewhat heroic.
Holding the teacup, thinking.
He finally understood that this old bastard Jia She belonged to Pixiu and could only get in and out.
These five thousand taels of silver are probably not easy to ask for.
"In this case, it's not a bad idea to be this old man's son-in-law. I heard that he has a concubine who is twelve or thirteen years old. Let's settle the marriage first and wait a year or two before they can get married. This will be the same as the Jia family's relationship since then. Once we become in-laws, my Sun family's status will be elevated, and it will be much cheaper to live with that Lord Jia at that time."
Sun Shaozu thought as he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
He was not idle during this period, and inquired about some situations in the East and West Prefectures. Jia She and that Jia Jueye did not seem to have much to deal with when the latter was not prosperous. The officer maintained a posture of disharmony between his face and his heart.
But he just borrowed a raft to cross the river, and the rest still depends on his means.
Sun Shaozu's eyes flashed coldly, thinking about how to deal with Jia She later.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a fair face wearing a brocade robe opened the curtain and entered the flower hall. He said with a smile on his face: "My dear nephew."
"Shibo, Shibo has always been kind, and my nephew is being polite." Sun Shaozu stood up quickly, cupped his hands and saluted.
The two exchanged pleasantries and sat down again.
Jia She took a look at Sun Shaozu, smiled and said, "Come as soon as your nephew comes, how can you get a gift?"
Sun Shaozu had a solemn look on his face and said seriously: "Come here to see Uncle Shi, why come here empty-handed? Besides, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and relatives should come and visit."
Jia She picked up the tea cup, took a sip, concealed the strange thoughts in his heart, smiled, took the initiative to bring up the past, and said: "My dear nephew, something happened last time. I originally wanted to introduce Brother Heng to you. Son’s.”
"Uncle Shi, I'm awake. Master Jia has a high vision. Maybe he doesn't like Sun. That's true." Sun Shaozu smiled.
When Jia She heard this, he actually nodded and said, "That's more or less what I mean. After all, Brother Heng is young. He has achieved great success at a young age and is somewhat energetic."
Sun Shaozu secretly thought that indeed, the two of them just didn't deal with each other. Otherwise, how could they agree with the foreign guests instead of defending them?
After pondering for a moment, he said with a smile: "My nephew is here to ask me for a merciless invitation."
Jia She's expression froze, and he forced a smile and said, "My dear nephew, I'm thinking of something to do about your waiting for your son to be promoted. My dear nephew, please don't be impatient for a moment."
Sun Shaozu's face paused slightly and he said with a smile: "Shibo has misunderstood. I'm waiting for a promotion. My nephew has some ideas. Now I heard that Shibo has a daughter who has a beautiful country and a beautiful home. My nephew admires her very much. I want to Can I be a good friend of the Qin and Jin Dynasties to your mansion? I wonder what your uncle’s wishes are?"
He asked a gentleman who sold calligraphy for advice on this passage, and he memorized it several times over the past two days.
When Jia She heard this, he was startled. He looked at Sun Shaozu, looked at it carefully, squinted his eyes, and asked: "I do have a girl waiting for my wife, but where did my nephew hear about it?"
"To be honest, Uncle Shi, I invited Mr. Lian to have a drink with me last time. We had a very pleasant conversation with him and he became a close friend. When I found out that he also had a beautiful girl, my nephew took notice of him. Mr. Shi also forgave me. My nephew has the audacity to ask for marriage." Sun Shaozu seemed to have a shy look on his rough face, and he sold Jia Lian backhand.
When Jia She heard this, he knew it was Jia Lian who had revealed it, so he was not angry at all. He just frowned and turned his eyes, thinking about the pros and cons.
Those five thousand taels of silver must not be returned. So betrothing Yingchun to Sun Shaozu seems... not bad?
A concubine's daughter cannot marry into a good family.
And this Sun Shaozu was also a high-ranking military attaché, not to mention that it would be unreasonable if he didn't give an account of the five thousand taels of silver.
Jia She thought for a while and made up his mind, but he deliberately showed a look of embarrassment on his face and sighed: "It is said that my nephew is also a military commander and comes from a famous family. But although my girl has a harder life and is just a commoner, I The daughter of the Jia family is virtuous, virtuous, and dignified in appearance. Regardless of her direct concubine, she cannot easily adapt to others. Besides, she is still young, so it is too early to be engaged like this."
The implication is that this is the daughter of the Jia family, so we need to pay more!
Sun Shaozu hesitated for a moment, then stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Shi, my nephew is very determined to get married to Uncle Shi. I ask Uncle Shi to make it happen."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Although my Sun family doesn't have much property in Beijing, it still has little wealth. I will never treat you badly. As for my young age, my nephew is willing to wait for two years to get married."
He just used the Jia family to improve his family status and make connections, and he didn't even care about beauty or ugliness.
Jia She touched the green thumb on his hand and said calmly: "My dear nephew, let me think about this matter. My girl is actually still young, so she is not in a big hurry."
Since Sun Shaozu wanted something from him, he would let it dry first, maybe he could squeeze out more oil and water.
After hearing this, Sun Shaozu felt a little dissatisfied with Jia She's displeasure, but the smile on his face did not diminish. He bowed and said, "Then my nephew will wait for the good news of Shibo."
With that said, he didn't stay much and left.
Jia She nodded and smiled at the servant beside him: "Send it off for me."
Sun Shaozu walked out of the black oil gate and stood on the street. His big face turned gloomy and he secretly spat, "Old bastard, you want money!"
How could he not know what Jia She stood for? This was his mother's fault and she still wanted to take money from him!
"Come on, come on, come on, let's settle the marriage first."
Once such a wealthy family decides on a marriage, it is difficult to go back on it until he gets the marriage certificate.
"But I need to get at least another two thousand taels of silver. But now that I'm in such a hurry, where else can I collect money?" Just when Sun Shaozu was struggling with the money, he suddenly saw three cavalry coming from the end of Ningrong Street, headed by Sitting on the saddle is a young knight in bright clothes and an angry horse. He is arrogant and has his nostrils raised to the sky. There are two knights behind him.
Sun Shaozu frowned and couldn't figure out his identity for a moment, but looking at the military uniform, he was a small flag officer from the Beijing camp.
I heard a boy sweeping the floor in front of Rongguo Mansion approaching and asking with a smile: "Uncle Qin, where are you coming from?"
Jia Qin's horse slowed down a little, snorted and said, "Can you care?"
He whipped up his horse and whip, leading the two knights toward the alley.
The young man from the Rong Mansion had an angry look on his face, spat and cursed: "What's the air? I just got a raise from Uncle Heng and became an official in the capital."
Another young man in a cloth robe had just come out of the corner gate of Rong Mansion, holding a cloth bag in his hand.
At this time, the boy said: "Hey, Brother Fing, it seems that Uncle Heng also asked you to go to the Beijing camp to serve as a soldier, why didn't you go?
Another boy, who was sweeping up the firecracker debris with a broom, said with a smile: "Yes, I heard that the worst person in the capital camp is also a small flag official. Second Master Yun in the corridor, during the Chinese New Year last year, he went to It's autumn at home, and I heard that he is now prosperous, so he bought more than ten kilograms of meat during the Chinese New Year and brought it home, which made his mother extremely happy."
The young man wearing starched clothes that were not old yet looked unhappy as he listened to the two boys' conversation, and even felt a little ashamed.
The man was none other than Jia Fen. When Jia Heng summoned the common people to the capital camp, Jia Fen didn't go because he was weak. Jia Heng also took half a ginseng to recuperate his health.
Now Jia Fen doesn't want to think that Brother Yun and Brother Fang, who grew up together in the past, are of the highest caliber, but she can only go to Rongguo Mansion to play in the autumn wind. She feels both envy and regret in her heart.
"I regret it." Jia Fen's face turned pale, and he sighed secretly in his heart. He put his sleeves in his sleeves, picked up his cloth bag, and left Rongguo Mansion.
Sun Shaozu listened to the conversation between the two boys in front of the Rongguo Mansion, and looked at the tall horse disappearing at the corner of the street, with a look of thought on his rough face.
"A member of the Jia family? I heard that Uncle Heng allowed the children of the common people to serve as generals in the army. I think they will be promoted and used in the future. If I become a good friend of the Jia family, I should be able to take care of him."
Thinking of this, my heart became more and more passionate, and I became more urgent about marrying the Jia family.
"It's just that it's still money..."
Sun Shaozu led the horse, thinking about where to raise money, and walked quickly to the street. Suddenly he saw three or four more horses approaching, stepping on the bluestone slabs, making a clicking sound.
The man sitting on the saddle, wearing a blue shirt and robe, has a well-proportioned figure and a handsome face. Under his thick eyebrows, he has a pair of peach blossom eyes looking passionately, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing the person coming, Sun Shaozu's eyes lit up and he recognized him. He came closer, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Second Master, Sun is here to invite you."
Jia Lian pulled the reins, stopped the horse, and turned away. When he saw Sun Shaozu waiting for him on the roadside, he put a smile on his handsome face and said, "It turns out to be Brother Sun. Where does this come from?"
Sun Shaozu smiled and said, "I just came here to visit Shibo. Where did the Second Master come back from?"
Jia Lian smiled and said: "I am not in the second grade of junior high school today. I went to visit some old relatives. I just came back."
With that said, he got off the horse, threw the reins of the horse to the boy beside him, and said with a smile: "Brother Sun, I haven't thanked you for being so kind last time. It's getting late. How about having a few drinks in my humble house?"
Jia Lian said, looking at the tall and bearded young man in front of him, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked away.
Secretly, what a good man!
The Sun family was a family of military generals in Datong, and many members of the family were generals in border towns. Their influence was intertwined. If a trade road could be opened from there directly to the grassland, he could bypass the big boss and find his own source of wealth.
Thinking of the various advantages of having money in hand, Jia Lian's eyes were a little distracted.
Seeing that Jia Lian had a warm smile on his face and a kind attitude, which suited Sun Shaozu's wishes, he pretended to be bold and said with a bold smile: "Second Master Lian is so open-minded, so it's better for Sun to be respectful than to obey."
With that said, he followed Jia Lian to Huazhi Lane, Rongning Street.
After Jia Lian had a lot of money, he bought a mansion in Huazhi Lane to live away from home (to recruit prostitutes). Of course, it was also because of the discord between the couple. After the incident in Dongcheng, Sister Feng had a grudge and would not let Jia Lian touch it again. She was shaken, but when she happened to encounter Jia Lian stealing Yanhong and being rewarded with Qiutong, she felt frightened and refused to let Jia Lian touch her again.
Jia Lian was so happy. He thought that Sister Feng couldn't let go of the bed issue, so the couple continued to have a "cold war", which only made Sister Feng suffer.
Jia Lian led Sun Shaozu to the courtyard.
Jia Lian first asked Zhao'er to lead Sun Shaozu to wait in the courtyard, and then turned around and went to Jia She's courtyard. When he returned to visit relatives, he was scolded and looked as if nothing had happened. He returned to Sanchong's courtyard in Huazhi Lane.
At this time, the servants had prepared a banquet, and two women in bright clothes and gorgeous flowers were accompanying them.
Jia Lian invited Sun Shaozu to sit down, and they drank and drank. He did not mention the smuggling, but drank and chatted about other things.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Jia Lian asked with a smile: "I just heard from the elder that Brother Sun wants to marry my sister Yingchun?"
Sun Shaozu took a sip of wine and said with a simple and honest smile: "To be honest with you, I have this intention. I wonder what your views are?"
Jia Lian picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "What can I say? I just follow the master's arrangement. But if something goes well, you will become my brother-in-law."
Sun Shaozu smiled and said: "That's right, why don't you call me uncle?"
This itself is attitude.
After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Sun Shaozu looked quite depressed on his red face and said: "Second Master, depending on Shibo's wishes, I'm afraid it will take a large sum of money to betroth my sister to my brother. Too shy."
Jia Lian's eyes moved and he thought to himself, what he was waiting for was your words. He smiled and said, "Brother Sun, our family is also a famous one in Datong. We should have a lot of money to make a living, right? How can we say that we are short of money?"
Sun Shaozu smiled bitterly and said: "Since the second master is one of our own, I will not hide it from you. The shop business at home has been in chaos in the past two years, and the business is not very good."
Jia Lian nodded and said: "Business is not easy to do, but Brother Sun is clearly guarding a way to make money, why do you turn a blind eye?"
Sun Shaozu was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "Second Master, did you think that I was confused?"
Jia Lian smiled and kept secret.
It's not good to talk about smuggling grassland directly.
Sun Shaozu came back to his senses at this time. Looking at that look, he seemed to have some realization, and whispered: "Second Master, are you talking about the business going to the grassland?"
Jia Lian smiled and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Sun Shaozu paused in his wine cup and said in a low voice: "Second Master, as far as Sun knows, there are quite a few people doing this business in Datong."
In fact, he didn't tell the truth just now. There are grassland smugglers in his clan, and they also have some cooperation with the Fan family, but he didn't interfere much.
Jia Lian whispered: "Brother Sun's family is in Datong, haven't you tried this way?"
Sun Shaozu waved his hand and whispered: "But this is a beheading business, it's too risky."
Jia Lian smiled and said: "You can't say that. There is a mutual market in the border towns of the imperial court. It's just that the taxes collected are too heavy and the easy-to-sell items are not allowed to be sold."
Sun Shaozu was somewhat moved at this moment and said: "I will consider the Second Master's proposal."
Jia Lian smiled and said: "Drink, drink, let's not talk about this first."
The two people were kissing each other again, but one had a delicate face and the other had a rugged face. In the dusk light, there was a strong sense of beauty in contrast.
