Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Therefore, the position of the Red Flame Army has now become a hot topic in the entire capital city.

Many families are trying hard to send their children there.

The four descendants of the founding lineage who originally quit the Red Flame Army also regretted it, and ordered their family members to come to Jia Huan's door to beg Jia Huan, hoping to return to the Red Flame Army.

But now that Jia Huan himself is still under suspicion, how can he agree to these people?

All requests will be rejected.

It only means that the Red Flame Army has not received the will to expand its army, and it dare not recruit any more people.

……

But she said that Aunt Xue saw that Xing Xiuyan was born elegant and steady, and that her family was poor. She was the daughter of a hairpin and a skirt cloth.

Suddenly I remembered that Xue Biao was not married, and saw that they were a couple made for each other.

But she couldn't make the decision on her own in this matter, after all, Xue Ding was still here.

Aunt Xue asked someone to tell Xue Ding that Xue Ding had personally found out the details of the Xing family and was extremely satisfied with Xing Xiuyan.

After thinking about it, Xue Ding came to ask Jia Huan to protect him.

Jia Huan was surprised after hearing this.

In The Book of Red Mansions, the marriage between Xue Biao and Xing Xiuyan was facilitated by Aunt Xue begging Sister Feng.

Unexpectedly, Sister Feng would be divorced in this life. Before Xue Ding died, it was Xue Ding who begged him.

It was time for the two of them to become a couple. Jia Huan agreed and went to Rongguo Mansion in person to beg Jia Mu.

After hearing this, Jia Mu smiled and said, "This is a very good thing. When I tell the boss's wife, are you afraid that she won't agree?"

When he came back to his room, he immediately ordered someone to invite Mrs. Xing to come over and forcefully protect the mountain. Mrs. Xing thought for a while: the Xue family had a good foundation and was now rich.

Jia Mu liked it very much and invited Aunt Xue to come.

When the two met, they naturally had many humble words.

Mrs. Xing immediately ordered someone to tell Xing Zhong and his wife. He and his wife originally came here to seek refuge with Mrs.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "I love to meddle in other people's business, but now it's become another thing. How much money will I get to thank the matchmaker?"

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "This is natural. Even if I bring one hundred thousand silver, I'm afraid it's not a surprise."

Now Aunt Xue has decided to take Xing Xiuyan as her daughter-in-law, and everyone in the house knows that Mrs. Xing originally wanted to take Xiuyan out to live with her.

Jia Muyin said: "What's the matter? The two children can't meet each other. It's just the aunt and her aunt and her sister-in-law. What's more, they are both daughters, so they can be intimate."

Mrs. Xing, please stop.

Besides, Tadashi and Xiu had met each other once on the way before, and they probably both had the same wish in their hearts.

It's just that Xing Xiuyan is a little more rigid than before, and it's not easy to chat with sisters Baochai.

Also, Xiangyun is a fun-loving person, which makes him feel even more embarrassed.

Fortunately, she is a well-educated and courteous person. Although she is a daughter, she is not the kind of person who is shy and frivolous, and she can barely get along with her sisters.

Let's say that on this day, the imperial court issued a decree to remove Lin Ruhai from his post as censor of salt inspection and transferred him back to Beijing to serve as the Imperial Academy's wine minister.

Kong Xiangjing, who used to offer wine in the Imperial Academy, used it for other purposes.

Offering wine to the Imperial College is a very noble and leisurely job.

I heard that Mr. Lin has been in poor health.

This time, the emperor transferred him back to the capital and ordered him to serve as the imperial wine priest, fearing that he would be able to recuperate his health.

Once the body is well taken care of, it will be of great use.

There is no telling whether he might be able to join the cabinet in three or two years.

After the people in the Jia family got the news, everyone in the family was happy.

Needless to say, among the sisters in the Grand View Garden, Lin Daiyu was the happiest when Lin Ruhai entered Beijing.

The other sisters were also very happy for Lin Daiyu.

As for the rest of the Jia family, Lin Ruhai is the son-in-law of the Rongguo family after all.

Lin Ruhai's high promotion will also be of great help to the Jia family.

……

On this day, Jia Huan was at home, and it was announced outside that Xue Ding had come to visit.

After hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but smile knowingly, and then ordered someone to invite Xue Ding in.

Not long after, Xue Ding was invited in. After the two greeted each other, they sat down respectively.

After chatting for a while, Xue Ding couldn't help but said: "Brother Huan, I, the second roommate of the Xue family, originally occupied an island overseas."

"Now that I have recovered from a serious illness, I am temporarily planning to stay in the capital after getting married."

"My Xue family no longer has the energy to occupy this island. If Brother Huan is interested, I can give this island to Brother Huan."

Hearing what Xue Ding said, Jia Huan couldn't help but smile and said: "Uncle Xue, how can this be done? It is said that no reward is received for no merit, how can I ask for your things in vain?"

"Besides, your Xue family still has Dafang. If you really don't have the energy, you can hand over the island to Dafang."

Hearing what Jia Huan said, Xue Ding couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Brother Huan doesn't know something. The business of my Xue family's main house has always been on land."

"The second house's business has always been on the sea, so the first house is not interested in islands far away from the mainland."

"Brother Huan, the perfume you do is a four-wheel carriage or a glass business. They are also luxury items overseas."

"Overseas trade can not only bring you a lot of wealth, but also exchange for many resources."

"And this island is huge, and there are indigenous people living on it. You can even train an elite army here."

"Brother Huan can completely build this island into a retreat."

After Xue Ding finished speaking, Jia Huan couldn't help but look at him deeply.

This Xue Ding knows me very well, and it can be said that everything he says speaks to my heart.

At this time, Jia Huan also became interested in the island he mentioned.

Jia Huan couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Xue, where is the island you mentioned? How big is it approximately?"

After Jia Huan asked, Xue Ding immediately described the location and size of this island in the sky.

After hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

This……

Jia Huan always felt that something was wrong. How could the second bedroom of the Xue family occupy such a large island?

How many people are needed to occupy this island?

You know, there are hundreds of thousands of indigenous people on Haitian Island.

Although these natives are not good at fighting and love peace.

But if there are fewer people stationed there, how can it be possible to occupy the entire island?

Xue Ding seemed to see the confusion in Jia Huan's eyes, and he couldn't help but said: "Brother Huan, you must have noticed something wrong, right?"

"How can I, the second wife of the Xue family, occupy such a large island?"

"Actually, this is not so much an island where I learn from the second brother of the Xue family, but rather an island shared by my four major families."

Hearing this, Jia Huan suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but said: "Shelter? A retreat?"

A look of approval appeared on Xue Ding's face. He nodded and said, "Yes, the ancestors of the four major families thought a lot about their retreat in the event of failure." "The retreat they left behind This is not the only way, and since I, the second brother of the Xue family, am engaged in overseas trade, my only escape route is this island."

"However, times have changed, and in the blink of an eye, several generations have passed by, and this retreat is no longer needed. Even future generations no longer know that this retreat exists."

"Even the people in my Xue family's eldest house don't know about the existence of this island."

Hearing this, Jia Huan suddenly realized.

After thinking for a moment, Jia Huan couldn't help but ask: "Shibo, I wonder what you want?"

Xue Ding smiled and said: "The only thing I can't worry about is these two children."

"Zha'er is more than successful, but not enterprising enough. If I'm not here anymore, please ask Brother Huan to take care of Zhu'er, so that he can live with his family business."

"I have another request. I want Brother Huan to take my daughter as my concubine. I hope Brother Huan will not refuse."

Jia Huan was shocked when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Shibo, Sister Qin comes from a famous family, is dignified and virtuous, how can she marry me as a concubine? I hope Shibo can take back her life."

Xue Ding sighed: "My Xue family is not just a merchant family, how can we be considered a famous family?"

"And after the Mei family broke off their engagement this time, it will be even harder for Qin'er to find her husband's family."

"With Qin'er's appearance, if I find a small family for her to marry, I'm afraid it will harm them."

"Besides, Qin'er has always liked your poems and articles, Brother Huan, and admires you as a person."

"It is said that she would rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife. Being able to marry you as a concubine is also her blessing."

Jia Huan also agreed with what Xue Ding said.

The so-called beauty is a curse. If a woman is too beautiful, it may not be a blessing.

With Xue Baoqin's appearance, an ordinary kid from a small family really couldn't protect her.

At the same time, Jia Huan also saw that taking Xue Baoqin as his concubine was the condition for Xue Ding to give him overseas islands.

Xue Ding was investing in the island, but the relationship between Jia Huan and him had to go further.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan said, "This would be too unfair to Sister Qin."

"There's just one thing. Now that my period of mourning has not passed, I have to observe mourning for three years, but I won't be able to marry Sister Qin until next year."

Xue Ding said: "What does it matter if it's a year late or a year early? As long as Brother Huan agrees, this matter will be settled."

"Next, let me tell Brother Huan about the situation on Haitian Island."

"Actually, my second brother, the Xue family, does not have enough manpower to control the entire Haitian Island."

"We use a business model to control Haitian Island."

"We have established a trading market on Haitian Island to purchase rice, sugar cane, fruits and other agricultural products produced on the island."

"Then sell them necessities that are not available on the island."

"For decades, everyone has been peaceful and getting along harmoniously."

"It's just that Western pirates are prevalent now, and Haitian Island is no longer safe. If Brother Huan takes over, he will also need to recruit people to protect the safety of the island."

Hearing this, Jia Huan finally came to a realization and had an enlightenment.

It turns out that the reason why Xue Ding was so happy to give such a large island to himself was because pirates were rampant in the West, and with the strength of the second brother of the Xue family, it was no longer possible to save Haitian Island.

As for the Xue Family Dafang, it is obvious that he has no interest in developing the island.

Thinking about it, with Aunt Xue and Xue Pan's temperament, they can hold on to the wealth of the Xue family's big house, and they are already satisfied.

How can you still think about helping the second family of the Xue family develop an overseas island?

In this case, it is not surprising that Xue Ding thought of giving the island to himself.

But even so, this island must be obtained by Jia Huan.

Moreover, the geographical location of Haitian Island and its size are even more ideal than Jia Huan imagined.

The size of Haitian Island is enough to establish a small country.

With such a large territory, Jia Huan will be able to develop many things.

Xue Ding asked again: "Brother Huan, I wonder how many people you can send to Haitian Island?"

"If we send fewer people, we may not be able to secure Haitian Island! Although the pirates in the west are not large in number, their guns are very sharp."

"I heard that many small coastal countries were massacred by them. If there is not enough defense force, I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand the invasion of pirates."

Jia Huan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Shibo. I'm going to move tens of thousands of people there in the early stages."

"The guns on the island are very sharp, but soon, we will also have them, even sharper than them."

Hearing Jia Huan's words, Xue Ding could not help but feel refreshed.

He quickly asked: "Brother Huan, where can you move tens of thousands of people to Haitian Island?"

Since we have in-depth cooperation with Xue Ding, there is no need to hide some things from him.

Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "The people I want to migrate are the children of the Mohist family."

"Haitian Island is also a treasure land for the children of the Mohist family."

"There are one hundred thousand descendants of the Mo family. We can quietly send tens of thousands over in advance."

"Then I will ask Brother Yun to help manage Haitian Island, and let Liu Xianglian from the Red Flame Army quietly leave the Red Flame Army and head to Haitian Island quietly."

"Let him build a Red Flame Army on Haitian Island. With the Mohist disciples here, guns and cannons will not be a problem. They can be produced very quickly."

After hearing Jia Huan's plan, Xue Ding was completely shocked.

He naturally has a certain understanding of Jia Huan. Ever since he met him in Suzhou and followed him all the way to the capital, Xue Ding has been secretly inquiring about Jia Huan.

Because he knew Jia Huan well enough, Xue Ding decided to entrust his children to Jia Huan and gave Haitian Island directly to him.

But Xue Ding didn't expect that Jia Huan had such a profound background.

Just being a Mohist was far beyond Xue Ding's expectations.

One hundred thousand descendants of the Mo family!

What's more, this is not just a problem of 100,000 people.

The problem is that all the children of the Mohist family are skilled craftsmen. With the children of the Mohist family, weapons, armor and even guns can be made!

As long as the Mohist children go to Haitian Island, Haitian Island needs wealth, weapons and equipment, and manpower.

It is completely possible to establish an independent country on Haitian Island!

Thinking of this, Xue Ding's heart suddenly became hot.

As a qualified businessman, Xue Ding has an adventurous heart.

His ancestors studied once, and the Xue family, one of the four major families, came out of the study.

This time, Xue Ding also had the urge to try again.

A moment later, Xue Ding suddenly knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Xue Ding, my subordinate, pays homage to the lord."

"My subordinate is not talented, but I am willing to rely on Haitian Island to build a maritime business empire for my lord!"

Seeing Xue Ding's actions and hearing Xue Ding's words, Jia Huan couldn't help but be speechless.

I have to say that this uncle, this cheap father-in-law, has a lot of inner drama.

But I have to say, he has a wild heart. (End of chapter)
