The Red Mansions

Chapter 238

The evening breeze is blowing, cool and comfortable.

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, both sides of the streets in the capital are brightly lit.

People worship the moon, admire the moon, eat moon cakes, play with lanterns, and the whole family is happy.

Xue Pan and Xue Biao were already unconscious after drinking a lot of wine, and were sent back to Xue's house by the guards.

Jia Yun walked alone on the street, feeling the breath of fireworks in the world.

After a while, Jia Yun walked from Ningguo Mansion to the outside of Pear Fragrance Court in Rongguo Mansion.

He subconsciously turned on the holographic projection, wanting to see what Jia Tanchun was doing at the moment.

As soon as he glanced at it, he was stunned.

The hazy moonlight, like tulle, sprinkled the earth.

In front of the window, Jia Tanchun was lying on the window sill, propping his chin with one hand, staring at the moon in the sky, his eyes were shining, smiling, and he didn't know what he thought of.

Jia Yun smiled inwardly, and with a flicker of figure, she came not far from the window, stepping harder on purpose.

The sound of footsteps is especially clear in the quiet night.

Jia Tanchun came back to his senses, looked for the sound, and a surprised smile appeared on his face.

"Hehe, am I dreaming?" Jia Tanchun covered his mouth and asked with a smile.

Jia Yun smiled and shook her head. When she came out of the window, she put her arms around Jia Tanchun's head and kissed it.

Jia Tanchun kept silent, closed his eyes, breathed out the fragrance of orchid, and responded to Jia Yun obsessively.

After a long time, the two separated.

"Huh... that's great!"

Jia Tanchun said naively, then took a few steps back, waved his hand and said, "Come in, you come to me tonight, it's the best gift."

"Okay!" Jia Yun responded, turned over the window sill, and entered the room.

The orange candle was faltering, and Jia Tanchun was only wearing a bellyband and obscene trousers, and he looked like he was about to fall asleep.

Jia Yun took her hand, came to the bed and sat down, and put her on her lap to talk.

"Is this going to sleep?"

Jia Yun asked softly, and at the same time pulled out Jia Tanchun's hairpin, and thousands of black hairs fell down immediately.

Jia Tanchun looked straight at Jia Yun, hummed, and with a flick of his head, he straightened his disheveled hair behind his shoulders, revealing his pink, smooth and delicate face.

Jia Yun lowered her head and glanced at her two tall faces.

Before he could say anything, Jia Tanchun pursed his lips and pulled away the cloth belt tied behind his back.

Take it off gently, and the truth is fully revealed in front of Jia Yun.

"It's so beautiful!" Jia Yun looked at it obsessively, held one, and lowered her head to bite.

Jia Tanchun trembled slightly, straightened his white neck, and gently hugged Jia Yun's head with his arms like jade lotus roots.

"Um..."

Jia Tanchun frowned slightly, gritted his teeth, and moaned softly, his face slowly turned rosy.

The small mouth opened and closed, exhaling fragrantly, suppressing the voice, for fear that the maidservants outside the night watch would hear it.

Jia Yun looked up at her, smiled, and kissed her small cherry mouth...

……

"Is the Mid-Autumn Festival still happy today?" Jia Yun and Jia Tanchun asked in a low voice, hugging each other.

Jia Tanchun pursed his lips and smiled, and said softly: "It's boring all day, I'll be very happy when you come."

"What an awesome little fairy!" Jia Yun hugged her, and pushed hard against her, feeling the softness there.

Jia Tanchun closed his eyes, let out a long breath, relaxed his whole body, and felt very comfortable.

"That's it, just right!" she murmured.

After a pause, she asked again: "Can you stay with me for a while before leaving?"

Jia Yun nodded and said, "Accompany you until dawn, okay?"

"Really?" Jia Tanchun opened his eyes with surprise on his face.

Jia Yun smiled and said, "Of course it's true, I'll sleep with you tonight."

"You are so kind!" Jia Tanchun said sweetly, arching in Jia Yun's arms, closing his eyes again, and breathing gradually calmed down.

She said: "I really hope we can be together like this forever, Brother Yun, since I met you, I have been thinking about you all the time..."

The young girl Huaichun was just at the beginning of her love affair, she was really moved by Jia Yun, and she spoke sincerely.

"Sleep! We will always be together." Jia Yun patted her buttocks and said softly.

Jia Tanchun hummed, and actually slowly fell asleep.

Jia Yun secretly smiled, and tightened her hands again.

Sleeping at night with such a beautiful girl in my arms is a wonderful experience.

early morning.

Jia Tanchun woke up, opened his eyes, and panic flashed across them.

Seeing that Jia Yun was still there, she breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of her mouth curled up, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

Thinking of embracing frankly with his lover and sleeping all night, Jia Tanchun's face was so ashamed, flushed, and a little hot.

She pursed her lips, her eyelashes flickered, and slowly moved forward, biting Jia Yun's lips clumsily.

"Sleep more?" Jia Yun suddenly asked in a low voice.

"No, I miss you." Jia Tanchun said softly.

Jia Yun said with a smile: "The future is long, but I have to go back. I have to go out of the city to go to the military camp to handle military affairs!"

"Then I won't keep you, it's important!" Jia Tanchun said hastily.

After saying that, she came out of Jia Yun's arms and waited on Jia Yun to dress and comb her hair.

"I'm afraid you have to go back home to wash your mouth and face, so it's not convenient for me to let the servant girl in." Jia Tanchun explained.

Jia Yun nodded and said, "Understood, it's the same when I go home and wash up."

Jia Tanchun is tall, with slender shoulders and slender waist, with a beautiful and dignified demeanor, duck egg face, slender eyebrows, handsome and pretty eyes, bright eyes, full of energy, high spirits and refined temperament.

Regardless of her appearance or temperament, she can make people shine.

Such a woman, no matter what dynasty or generation she is in, is a first-class beauty and is sought after by everyone!

"Don't watch it!" Jia Tanchun persuaded Jia Yun, afraid of delaying Jia Yun's time.

After a pause, she showed shyness, and whispered: "If you like it, when you are free, I will give it to you...Actually...I also want to."

"No hurry!" Jia Yun stepped forward to hug her, smelling the deodorant on her neck, and whispered back.

Jia Tanchun also hugged Jia Yun's waist tightly, raised his neck, closed his eyes tightly, and felt the tenderness of this moment.

"Brother Yun, when you find time to come, I will really give it to you. I'm not joking, but I really want to."

These words are already very bold, it can be seen that Jia Tanchun really opened up his heart with Jia Yun.

Jia Yun nodded, and replied: "Okay! After I finish my work these days, I will make a special trip to sleep with you for a few nights."

"Hee hee, you are so kind!" Jia Tanchun said happily.

After the two got bored for a while, the sky was bright, and Jia Yun had to leave through the window.

Jia Yun didn't leave Jia's mansion either, she went directly to the carrying place, and returned to her study in a blink of an eye.

He stepped out of the study room, called Xiangling, and asked her to prepare hot water, take a shower and change clothes.

Since Xiren became an aunt, Xiangling's status in Jia Yun's room has gradually increased, and many things have been taken over by her.

Although this girl is very timid, she is a good hand at things.

No matter what housework is entrusted to her, it is done in an orderly manner, and there has never been a mistake.

Coming out of the bathroom, Jia Yun went back to the study to write a license, went to Xue Baochai's room, asked Yinger to go to Xue's mansion, and handed over the license to Xue Biao.

"You tell Big Brother Xue to take Xue Biao directly to Xue's Guild Hall and find the eunuch in charge. They will know what to do." Jia Yun told Ying'er.

Although Xue Biao is much younger than Xue Pan, he is a shrewd person.

After his father's death, their family's business route was not as chaotic as Xue Pan's business route, but Xue Biao took care of it very well.

Therefore, there is no need for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Jinyiwei to rectify it, and it can be directly merged into the existing trade route.

Ying'er memorized everything and went to Xue's mansion with her license.

Xue Baochai said: "Tad brother can not be used by outsiders, but it will make my family feel at ease."

"It's all personal creation. On the surface, it seems that we took advantage of him, but in reality, our business route is already on the right track. Even if his family's business route is added, it will only serve as icing on the cake." Jia Yun smiled.

With the in-depth cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the business route of Xue Pan's family has become larger and larger, and gradually spread all over the country, and even Nanyang Overseas has begun to be involved.

The addition of Xue Biao's business route will at most just help the existing business route save some costs and time, and will not play a decisive role.

The existing business road network, which should be built, has almost been built.

If it is placed at the beginning of the year, when Xue Biao's family can join in, it will be more effective.

On the contrary, joining in now will not play the role of one plus one equals two, but will affect the existing business routes to run in with it.

After all, the business routes of the two companies overlap in many businesses, and it will take time to integrate.

Of course, with the addition of Xue Biao's business route, after the integration, the scale of the business route will also leap to the top ranks of all business gangs in the country.

At that time, Shanglu will compete on the same stage with large national business gangs such as Cantonese, Huizhou, Shanxi, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu merchants.

After the Xue family's business gang stabilizes, Jia Yun will also form her own business gang.

In fact, he has now let Ni Erzai slowly start to form.

He plans to form two business gangs, all the way to overseas.

Through the sale of tea, porcelain, silk, ironware and other materials, in exchange for overseas gold, silver and jewelry, etc., and at the same time purchase a large amount of food back.

The reason why the trip has not yet taken place is because many seagoing ships ordered by Jia Yun are still under construction.

This time will take two or three years.

While building the sea-going ship, Jia Yun had already asked Ni Er to start personnel training, and only waited for the ship to be launched before setting sail.

At that time, Jia Yun's social status was also higher than now, and she was able to protect one or two business routes.

Biewai All the way business gang, mainly for the inside, mainly deals in various traditional handicrafts and specialty products from all over the country.

After it grows to a certain scale, it will also concentrate resources and tentatively carry out research and development of light and heavy industries.

But that's for later.

You have to eat food one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step on the road, so there is no rush.

Xue Baochai nodded, and discussed with Jia Yun: "Last night, my mother told my family that our house is lively, and I want to stay with our parents for a while, what does your husband think?"

"You decide this matter, I have no objection." Jia Yun replied.

Xue Baochai hesitated and said: "Mother is coming, I'm afraid my brother will come too, once he comes, it's not good for my brother and sister Baoqin to stay at Xue's house anymore, I'm afraid they will also come to our house..."

Jia Yun smiled and said: "Come here, it's not like our house can't fit. Besides, wouldn't the house be more lively with them here? Why worry about having a few more pairs of chopsticks?"

Xue Baochai said with a slight smile: "It's enough to have your husband's words. In the end, this matter still needs your husband's approval. If the servants make their own decisions, what should you do if you don't like it?"

Jia Yun rolled her eyes at her, and said angrily, "I'm so petty and unreasonable in your eyes?"

"No, it's because I feel uneasy and want my husband to make a decision." Xue Baochai shook his head quickly.

Jia Yun asked suspiciously, "Why are you not at ease?"

"This...maybe it's because she was worried about gains and losses after she became pregnant!" Xue Baochai thought for a while and replied.

Jia Yun smiled and said, "I told you earlier, no matter what happens, just relax."

"Our family used to be so poor and poor. Now that we are rich and wealthy, what else is there to worry about?"

The only thing he lacks now is Jinshi fame, and only next year, if he can get the gold list in high school, then it will be the time for him to soar into the sky.

After all, his political achievements have long been lacking, and the only thing that restricts him is his fame and seniority.

Seniority is not an issue at all for the emperor who is in desperate need of a confidant.

Therefore, Jinshi's fame is very important to Jia Yun.

After hearing Jia Yun's analysis, Xue Baochai said with anticipation: "I sincerely hope that your husband will be on the list next year. In this way, there will be nothing to hinder your future political career!"

Jia Yun smiled, and pondered: "I know this matter well, [-]% of them hope to be on the list next year."

Just kidding, the emperor had already leaked to him the contents of next year's exam, and he had made sufficient preparations. If he didn't make the list, then he would have no one else to blame but himself.

But with Jia Yun's prudent attitude, will she throw away this brilliant opportunity at will?

Obviously not, as long as there is a slight chance, he will firmly grasp it.

After talking with Xue Baochai for a while, it was getting late. After Jia Yun put on her official uniform, she went straight to the military camp outside the city.

During this period of time, he put most of his energy on the patrol camp.

Most of the affairs in the city are handled by the soldiers and horses, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

in the military camp.

As the news came from all sides, it was as expected by Jia Yun. Although the pace of this era was relatively slow, after ten days, most of the bandits in the entire Beizhili territory also knew about the patrolling battalion's all-out efforts to suppress the bandits.

After these bandits learned the news, they either ran away and went to other provinces to continue their old business.

Or fight to the end.

Especially those thieves who were close to Shandong, because the government and army had repeatedly suppressed them in the past, it made them develop a lawless temperament.

In addition, most of them have horses, which makes it easy to come and go, which has become a hard bone in this patrolling camp to suppress bandits.

Except for the thieves, the bandits in other prefectures and counties had to be more sensible. Those who could run would run, those who couldn't run would resist a little, and when they knew they couldn't win, they raised their hands and surrendered.

For those who voluntarily surrendered, the government will naturally take appropriate care when sentencing.

After all, the bandits harvested one crop after another. As long as there are natural and man-made disasters, the bandits will not die out.

To learn from the latecomers, the government will not be too extreme.

Unless it is those who have done all kinds of bad things, committed a lot of evil, and have lives in their hands, then there is no way to deal with them. Basically, they will be dealt with strictly and severely.

"Thieves, it seems that we need to transfer some people from other places to Hejian Mansion, and concentrate our efforts to encircle and suppress them!"
