Jia Mu even forgot about Baoyu and quickly stood up and walked towards the maid, her face full of surprise.
"Poria, tell me again? My Min'er is pregnant again?" Mother Jia stared at Poria at the door expectantly.
Fu Ling quickly knelt down and replied: "Old lady, what I said is absolutely true. The housekeeper who came to the Lin family last time to give New Year's gifts said it to Butler Lai personally. I happened to come back from home and when I arrived at the main entrance, I saw Butler Lai and the Lin family. The housekeepers were congratulating each other, but housekeeper Lai saw that I was back and personally asked me to come to Rongxi Hall to announce the good news! Old lady, here are also letters from Aunt Min and Uncle Min!"
Yuanyang, who was standing next to Jia Mu, was the first to react. He quickly knelt down and shouted congratulations to his ancestors. The maids in the room also knelt down to congratulate each other as if they had just woken up from a dream. The smart people outside the door also ran towards each master. , reported the news that the aunt in the mansion who was married outside was pregnant again.
Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief, picked up Baoyu who was standing next to her, kissed and squeezed her, causing Baoyu to try hard to get out.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li also expressed their congratulations to Mrs. Jia. Seeing this, Mrs. Li knew that she could not persuade her today, so she could only bow and leave.
As for Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Li planned to pretend to have forgotten her and let him get closer to Jia Lian. Even if she found out, it would just be an extra pair of chopsticks. Anyway, her aunt was here, and no one else could find fault.
It would be best to cause more trouble and get more resources from the Jia family.
For the Li family, except for their own children, it would be best if everyone in the Wang family should be replaced by resources allocated to the prince. At the worst, the property could be divided into smaller shares.
Li's ideas had no influence on Rongxi Hall, and in less than a cup of tea, the two gentlemen walked into Rongxi Hall together.
When he came up, he congratulated the old lady.
Seeing that Baoyu was also in the hall, Jia She covered Baoyu's little head with his big hands and rubbed it hard several times.
Seeing this, Jia Mu quickly hit Jia She's hand and rescued Baoyu, giving Jia She a reproachful look.
When Baoyu saw his uncle and his father, he quickly stood up and saluted.
"Okay Baoyu, uncle wants to talk to your grandmother about something, you can go out and play."
Baoyu quickly looked at Jia Zheng, saw him nodding, and then ran out of Rongxi Hall.
"Look at you, you scared Baoyu. I never treated you like this back then!" Jia's mother rolled her eyes at Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng could only apologize profusely.
After sitting down, Jia She spoke.
"It's been a lot of good luck during this period. First, in the autumn of last year, Zhu'er was selected to be elected, and the next year came the news that Hui'er was annihilated. Now, my sister is pregnant again. If she is giving birth to a little nephew, then she will be completely Having established a firm position in the Lin family, Daiyu is smart, but she is still a little girl after all, so she is still a little bit shy.
Speaking of Huier, I don’t know how he is doing recently. Why is the war in Gansu not over yet? "
Jia She went off topic while talking.
Jia Zheng beside him stroked his beard thoughtfully and asked Jia Mu.
"Mother, Min'er was not in good health when she gave birth to her niece last time. Now her brother-in-law has been working as a salt inspector for nearly six years. Even I heard about the dangers in Yangzhou when I was working at the Ministry of Industry. But I have to Send some people over to take care of it?”
"Yes, it is true that the Lin family is the fifth generation of marquises, but when it comes to my brother-in-law's generation, it is gone. There is no replacement for the people under his command. The generals under him have not seen much blood. They are far from the generals of our family. Not to mention the distance, the few my son sent back with the troupe are as skilled as the old people in our house."
Jia She rarely agreed with Jia Zheng's words.
"How about this, let a few soldiers sent back by Brother Hui and the old people from the house escort Lian'er down to Yangzhou to say hello? The old man takes Lian'er back to the house, and Brother Hui's soldiers protect my sister on the spot?"
Jia Mu was also a little moved, but she still had some questions.
"This is indeed a good idea, but are Brother Hui's soldiers willing to go? After all, they are Brother Hui's soldiers, not the family's soldiers."
Jia She waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter, these were originally sent by Brother Hui to fill the vacancies of the old soldiers. They are also willing to listen to the family's orders. They say they are Brother Hui's soldiers. In fact, they are to prevent some people from using their official weapons for personal use and sending them to their parents' families. of."
Mrs. Wang became anxious when she heard this: "What did the uncle say? My brother was an accident, and he didn't deliberately let the soldiers of the house die!"
"Fuck your mother, his prince Teng sent my soldiers to test and die! When encountering a tough battle, he immediately sent my soldiers to the front. All those who died were my soldiers. He sent out more than a hundred people. Thirteen of them were sent back, and all of them are missing arms and legs. Did any of your Wang family soldiers die?"
"My Wang family's soldiers will naturally stay by my brother's side. Besides, if he dies, it's because of their incompetence. What does it have to do with my brother..." Mrs. Wang retorted dissatisfied.
Hearing this, even Jia Mu, who favored the second wife, frowned.
"Wang, shut up, your Wang family is so capable, then why did your brother kneel down in my Rongxi Hall to ask for personal soldiers? Now everyone is dying for his prince, and you actually say that they are not capable? If not, then you didn't come here in the first place. Want it?
Since your brother Wang Ziteng is so capable, then stop asking for favors from my Jia family.
The old woman has to go to the temple in five days to fulfill her vows. She still has five Diamond Sutras to go. Madam Wang, I will leave it to you to copy and write them yourself. "
The last few words "Jia Mu" came out from between the teeth.
After saying that, Jia Mu got up and walked to the backyard without looking back.
Jia She also flicked his sleeves, snorted and strode away.
"Wang, you!" Jia Zheng finally reacted, pointed at Wang with his eyes wide open, and walked towards Aunt Zhao's yard without saying a word out of consideration for the relationship between husband and wife.
Only Mrs. Wang and a few maids were left in the huge Rongxi Hall.
Mrs. Wang only felt that the world was spinning. Her words had offended the two most powerful people in the mansion. Although the second house dominated the entire Rongguo mansion, outsiders only recognized Jia She.
Things were fine in the past, but I offended Jia She and the old lady, and she also had the title of first-class general Jia She.
Entrusting others to do things, her husband's name tag of a fifth-grade official was thrown away without anyone looking at it. The many benefits he could give to his parents' family were all because of the face of Jia She, a nobleman in Rongguo Mansion.
Now it's over, the old lady and her uncle Jia She have been offended together, and her brother Wang Ziteng's comeback is even more hopeless. .
Mrs. Wang only felt that even the maids surrounding her disliked her, and she was not sure why she was muttering to her!
He could only get up and walk towards his yard as if running away.
Jia Lian, who was chatting with Wang Xifeng in the garden and trying to show off like a peacock, was also officially assigned to the first serious task in his life - to go to Yangzhou to deliver gifts to his aunt.
Abandoning Wang Xifeng on the spot, she excitedly ran back to her yard and rummaged through the boxes to pack her luggage. Wang Xifeng was so angry that she even tore up her handkerchief.
For a boy of eleven or twelve years old, a beautiful girl is important, but not that important.
Now Jia Lian feels that going to Jiangnan to see her aunt with letters from her elders is much more important than talking to her beautiful sister.
Beautiful sisters are often found but not often found in Jiangnan.
When he was born, his mother suffered from the disease. She had a high fever and had to take care of her without taking care of her clothes, which made her physically and mentally haggard. Then the incident with the late prince frightened her mother, and she died soon after falling ill.
His father, Jia She, always believed that he was responsible for his mother's death. He always beat and scolded him, and he didn't like him very much.
My brother-in-law, Jia Hui, joined the army for his family. Now that he has made outstanding military achievements, he will be rewarded when he returns to Beijing. Even Jia Zhu, the elder brother of the second wife, also won the imperial examination.
His father and brother are like this, and Jia Lian himself is also eager to do something serious to prove himself, at least to impress his father, and to have something worthy of success in front of his eldest brother.
On the other side, Jia She personally went to find Yuan Li, the new leader of the soldiers.
Yuan Ligang was also surprised at first. After all, Jia She had not come to see him since he arrived at Jia's house. He was worried that he looked down on his brothers, so Jia She came to see him.
Jia She didn't waste any time and gave Yuan Li an overview of the situation in Yangzhou. Yuan Li patted his chest and promised that he would fight to the death to protect Lin Hai and Jia Min's family. He ordered 60 people who were good at investigation and security work to come out on the spot.
At that time, Jia Hui mainly selected a group of people who were good at these to be his personal guards.
After the housekeeper Lai Da carefully selected a boatload of gifts, Yuan Li set off with sixty new soldiers and twenty old generals of Rongguo Mansion, and an excited Jia Lian.
. . . . . .
When Jia Lian went to the south of the Yangtze River, Jia Hui, who was far away on the plateau, also obtained and completed initial strategic goals.
The Aksai Chin garrison was integrated.
When the advance scout army passed by a mountain pass, they found a group of Heshuote people who seemed to be hunting there to take shelter from the wind.
The terrible thing is that there are no people standing guard! Liu Wei, the leader of the scout army, immediately decided to capture the Heshuote people alive. Then when he discovered that the haggard and thin man in the largest tent was the local Daru Huachi, the man looked at him in disbelief.
Then he met Chagan Bazhi.
Hey, I've seen this guy before.
Isn't it the Tamerlane envoy whom I met in Luoxue a few years ago, Sitai Jicha Ganbali!
This Daruhuachi understood everything instantly.
It turns out it was you who led the imperial army here!
Then he surrendered decisively.
The original words of this Daru Huachi were: "Young one is starving and freezing in this place where birds don't poop. You have to think twice before eating a sheep. The stupid grand master thinks that the little one doesn't give him enough gifts. All the money was prepared according to his words. According to the market price, you can buy Daru Huachi, who specializes in tea horses in Qamdo!
That naughty Grand Master bullied the young parents into dying early, with no one behind them!
It’s okay if there’s nothing to eat here. Anyway, I’m not picky about food and I’ll eat whatever I can. I just want to play with a few more girls while I’m young, but there’s not even a place where a bird can’t poop!
The place where Mr. Liu found us was actually my government office. Although this place is the pasture of the Tubo and Uighur people, none of the tribes have settled here. We haven't seen anyone in nearly two months. They are all wolves!
The general is simply a living bodhisattva who saves people in distress. I am willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses. I am familiar with this plateau. In the past few years, I followed Abu everywhere on errands. Where can I rest, where is there water and grass, and who is there. I know who is there. , I only have one request, as long as I can get the logic right, I can kill that stupid Grand Master! "
Three hundred men were recruited into the army, and another five hundred sheep also entered the formation.
No matter what, use it if you can. If you can't, you can still use it as cannon fodder. Anyway, you can't let them leave.
