Red Mansion Jia Enhou

Don’t do bad things, don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.

Princess Jincheng gave Abul an extremely cold smile, which made her look even more dangerous.

"It was you who instigated my father Khan to marry me to Bidao Khan?"

Princess Jincheng pulled out a knife.

Crazy crazy.

There was fear in Abul's eyes, and he stepped back subconsciously.

"Brother, what are you afraid of? I'm just asking."

"This is the king's tent. Father Khan is not dead yet, he just went to the front line to fight."

"Jincheng, you are now bringing people to break into my tent and threatening me with a knife. This is disrespectful to my brother. If you kill my brother, I will punish you when my father comes back!"

Princess Jincheng looked up and down at her brother who thought he was very smart, and stabbed the knife in her hand into Abul's thigh.

Abul covered his legs and let out a loud roar.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Abul's eyes were full of rage. He was so overwhelmed by rage that he forgot the slight feeling of abnormality that he had just sensed in his heart.

Princess Jincheng looked at her brother with a smile on her face.

"Do you think Father Khan can come back?"

A cold look flashed in Princess Jincheng's eyes.

"Catch him!"

Princess Jincheng gave orders to people.

After being arrested, Abul still refused to surrender despite having a limp in one leg.

At Yumen Pass, Jia She has received news that Princess Jincheng's rebellion has succeeded. Now only Suotu and the Tatar Khan are left.

Jia She called someone to inquire about the situation in the Tatar direction. The person in charge of collecting intelligence presented the letter that Suotu wrote to Jia She again.

Jia She looked at it carefully.

As he expected, Suotu really couldn't hold back any longer.

Now there is even more rebellion in the Tatar camp. The old Khan has really reached the end of his rope.

"Are the people from the Later Jin coming soon?"

Jia She continued to ask.

"My Lord, there is news from Liaodong. They are on the way."

"However, only one third of them chose to naturalize in Da Chu, and most of them were the elderly, the weak, women and children."

Jia She nodded slightly. As long as someone stayed, he would have a way to make the Later Jin completely disappear from this world and integrate into the blood of the Chinese people.

"The policy of converting the Hu people into Buddhism must continue."

Jia She told people.

The person being told nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, my Lord. His Majesty knows clearly."

This man was none other than the emperor's man. He and Niu Ben went on a western expedition to Tatar and was sent to help contact the emperor's spies in Tatar.

It is the supervisory department of the Emperor's Wutong Guard. It is estimated that it won't be long before the Wutong Guard around the Emperor will officially enter the court.

Jia She began to write and draw on the paper again.

Until a memorial titled Liaodong Ce was written, Jia She's hand stopped.

"Trouble!"

"This policy is related to the important arrangements of the Later Jin Dynasty. I hope you will hand it over to Your Majesty."

The man, who looked ordinary and was dressed in the clothes of a clerk, was posted by the emperor in the army. He glanced at him and nodded to Jia She again.

"Don't worry, Lord Rong!"

The clerk took the memorial written by Jia She with both hands.

Liaodong is a large area. Although the Later Jin Dynasty had been entrenched there for many years, it did not develop well due to its small population and vast territory, as well as its fishing and hunting habits.

In this memorial written by Jia She, in addition to mentioning the issue of immigration to Liaodong, it also included strategies against the Later Jin.

The most urgent task now is to develop Liaodong.

Although Da Chu is poor now, it is by no means unable to support people's food and drink.

As long as it is used properly and the immigration is successful, within three years, it will become a major granary of the Chu State.

Jia She had a good idea, but actually implementing it was not that simple.

This includes how to get people to leave their homeland.

No matter how bad your hometown is, it is still your hometown.

As long as my family is around, at least I won’t be short of food and drink.

It’s not certain if you go to Liaodong. What if what they say is different from the reality? Then it will be a dead end.

This is also a way to ease land annexation.

Since the Tang Dynasty, there has often been a saying that people from narrow villages moved to wide villages. Isn't Liaodong a good wide village?

Not only is the land fertile, but there are also fishing and hunting resources.

As long as you are diligent, you will never have to worry about having food to eat in the undeveloped Liaodong.

At Rongguo Mansion, Grandmother Jia is counting the days for Jia She to return.

Although Jia Min and Lin Ruhai agreed to help her, they never sent her any news.

She wanted to call Jia Min over to ask her, but when she thought of her daughter's resolute look, she didn't dare to call her.

Just as the Rongguo Mansion has always said that their daughter is a patron.

The daughter who is married off is the water that is thrown out.

Strictly speaking, Jia Min is no longer a member of the Rongguo Mansion.

Even though she was Jia Min's biological mother, she had no right to force Jia Min to help her with anything.

And Jia Min had the power to refuse. Even if she couldn't refuse, it would be the same if Lin Ruhai refused.

After all, the wife is the leader of the husband.

Grandmother Jia ordered everyone to leave and covered her head with her hands.

The shop on East Street is her only source of income now.

If she can't get it back, and has to rely solely on the income in the mansion to survive, I'm afraid her life will be difficult in the future.

"grandmother!"

When Jia Baoyu came back from school, he had become accustomed to visiting Grandmother Jia.

Looking at Grandmother Jia who was in a trance, Jia Baoyu's eyes were filled with confusion.

"grandmother."

No one stopped him, and Jia Baoyu came in and called out "Grandmother Jia" again softly.

Grandmother Jia still did not respond. At this moment, she had a gloomy face, thinking about her future.

There are quite a few servants in Rongqingtang. In addition to those sent by the eldest brother, there are also servants from the second house to support.

It’s okay if the boss sends someone like that, as the eldest wife pays the monthly interest.

It’s different with the second room. She is the one who supports the second room completely.

She has been spending more than she earns these days, and she has already used up one-tenth or one-twelfth of her dowry. I'm afraid that within two years, her dowry will be gone.

"grandmother."

Jia Baoyu called out to his grandmother again, and Grandmother Jia, who had come out of her thoughts, finally showed some reaction. When she lowered her head, it was the young Jia Baoyu with tearful eyes.

"Grandma, why don't you pay attention to me!"

Jia Baoyu, who felt insecure, started to act like a spoiled brat when he saw that his grandmother had ignored him.

Grandmother Jia looked at Baoyu in front of her with infinite tolerance in her eyes.

Perhaps in Grandmother Jia's eyes, tolerance is love.

Grandmother Jia's hand touched Jia Baoyu's head.

"Don't make a fuss, Baoyu."

"Grandma was just thinking about something!"

Listening to what Grandmother Jia said, Jia Baoyu raised his head and curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"What is Grandma thinking about?"

"But do you need help?"

"If my grandson can help, I will definitely help!"

There was a flash of relief for Jia Baoyu in Jia's mother's eyes, and she touched Jia Baoyu's head again.

"These are just trivial matters. What's most important to you now is your studies and your health."

"I heard that the new teacher in the school is very strict?"

Grandmother Jia lowered her head and asked Jia Baoyu about the Jia family's studies.

Jia Baoyu lowered his head, showing an expression that showed he didn't want to say anything.

Considering his recent behavior of coming to her place frequently, Lady Jia realized that something was wrong.

"Baoyu, if you encounter any problems in the clan school, you can tell grandma and she will help you."

Grandmother Jia's voice was gentle and full of love when she faced Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu continued to lower his head.

"Nothing"

Jia Baoyu looked a little autistic, and Grandmother Jia's brows were furrowed.

Her little grandson was definitely being bullied.

Thinking of this, a stern look flashed across Jia's grandmother's slightly closed eyes.

"Baoyu, go back and rest first. Grandmother will have someone call you when it's time for dinner."

Grandmother Jia gave instructions to Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu raised his head and nodded slightly.

"Then I'll go back and rest."

"Go!"

Grandmother Jia asked someone to send Jia Baoyu off.

Only after the person was sent back did Grandmother Jia open her eyes to rest.

"Lian'er is studying in the palace. Will she be back soon?"

"Probably not yet, old lady."

The old woman stood aside and answered Lady Jia's questions respectfully.

"What time does Lian'er usually come back?"

Grandmother Jia continued to ask, and the old woman was stumped by her grandmother's question. Jia Lian always came back from school at an irregular time, but would come back before the market was closed at night.

"Madam, sometimes the Second Master comes back early, and sometimes he gets tripped up by his classmates or friends and comes back later."

Grandmother Jia's brows frowned instantly.

"Why don't you go home after school? Instead, you hang out with some playboys. What are you doing?"

Grandmother Jia thought of Jia She's childhood.

Like Jia Lian, Jia She liked to stay outside after school when they were young.

Unlike Jia Lian who was invited by his good friends, Jia She just liked to stay outside regardless of whether he was invited or not.

Grandmother Jia suddenly felt unhappy.

The old woman began to stand with her eyes on her nose and her nose on her heart.

"When Lian'er comes back, ask him to come to my place."

Grandmother Jia gave instructions to the maid, who quickly agreed.

At the same time, after Jia Lian finished school, he was invited to Pingkangfang.

Jia Lian, who had aversion to such places, originally did not want to go, but his friend's invitation was too enthusiastic.

Jia Lian had no choice but to be dragged away.

And today, Zui Xiang Lou is indeed bustling.

I heard that Zui Xiang Lou has a lot of good stuff recently.

Jia Lian was dragged to see the new courtesan.

The courtesans in Pingkangfang are different from those in ordinary brothels. After falling from the altar, the courtesans in ordinary brothels are no longer valuable and are at the mercy of the madam's arrangements. They have no control over their life or death.

Pingkangfang was more free because it was government-run.

After becoming the most beautiful courtesan, she could switch to a music house and teach people how to play musical instruments and dance, or she could stay in Pingkangfang. But there was one prerequisite, which was to win the first place.

Jia Lian sat there chatting with others, waiting for the courtesan to appear, and at the same time, he sent someone home to tell him that he would be back later.

After a while, the stage in the middle was set up and people started to perform. Jia Lian was watching seriously, but someone pulled his sleeve.

Jia Lian's eyes showed confusion, and the real purpose of the group of people calling Jia Lian here appeared.

A little girl of five or six years old appeared in the box with a wine jug in her hand.

The one who brought her here was the head tutor of Pingkangfang, who was also a female official in charge of managing Pingkangfang.

"Master Li, the person you want is here."

The instructor from Pingkangfang appeared with little Wang Xiluan. Wang Xiluan, who was serving tea for the first time, was trembling all over.

Looking at the little girl in front of him, Jia Lian felt familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was.

When Jia Lian met Wang Xiluan, he was only three years old.

The changes in two years are not big, but not small either, especially since this child is still a child.

Jia Lian frowned.

"come over!"

Li Kang, who was called Master Li by the teacher, waved to Wang Xiluan.

Wang Xiluan's eyes were filled with tears of fear.

The instructor from Pingkangfang watched carefully.

Li Kang took a piece of cake from the table.

"Come here, this snack is yours."

Li Kang still refused to give in.

He himself was not familiar with Li Kang, and if he had not been dragged here by force, he would not be here.

Jia Lian slapped the cake in his hand.

"He was just a four or five-year-old child. I didn't know Brother Li had such strong tastes."

Jia Lian looked at Li Kang as if he were a beast, but Li Kang was totally unaware and just kept laughing.

"I'm afraid the young marquis has misunderstood."

Jia Lian didn't think he had misunderstood at all. If he was a normal person, he wouldn't have called a four or five-year-old child that.

Jia Lian looked to the side and saw the person who was pulling him over.

The people who forced him here didn't expect this place to exist.

It was only because of the relatives and friends who came to me and my mother's nagging that I had no choice but to introduce him to him.

He didn't expect this to happen.

Zhang Qiang felt very embarrassed and pulled his cousin Li Kang hard. Feeling his sleeve being pulled, Li Kang looked at Zhang Qiang.

At this moment, Zhang Qiang's face turned red with shame and anger.

"Don't worry, cousin!"

"If the young marquis can come, I, your cousin, will definitely not be a hindrance!"

Listening to his cousin's words, Zhang Qiang felt so embarrassed that he almost had no place to hide.

How could he have such a stupid relative who can't even read a person's eyebrows?

Zhang Qiang no longer had the face to face Jia Lian.

"Who is he?"

The atmosphere began to become depressing. Li Kang also noticed something and unconsciously put down his hand on Jia Lian's shoulder.

Jia Lian's face was cold.

Zhang Qiang lowered his head and stood up.

"Brother, this is my cousin, he just came up from the local area."

"Brother, let me go!"

Zhang Qiang closed his eyes and knelt down in front of Jia Lian.

Jia Lian looked at Zhang Qiang and took a deep breath.

"I have already set the rules in the gang. It clearly lists what can and cannot be touched."

"What happened to him?"

Jia Lian knew Zhang Qiang's character and didn't believe that Zhang Qiang could hang out with such a person.

Zhang Qiang told Jia Lian that his mother forced him to make the introduction.

Jia Lian's eyes fell on Li Kang. Li Kang looked at his cousin and then at Jia Lian, and felt that something was wrong.

"I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding, young marquis."

"Don't you know this girl?"

Li Kang pointed at Wang Xiluan and stood up in panic.

He never expected that his flattery would end up hitting the horse's leg.

He originally just wanted to redeem Wang Xiluan and hand her over to Jia Lian for handling.

The Jia Lian in front of him seemed to have misunderstood.

Jia Lian frowned, but Wang Xiluan recognized him.

She never imagined that the person who stood up for her was the son of her enemy.

The young Wang Xiluan had no idea of ​​right or wrong.

She only knew that her home had been destroyed once or twice by Jia She.

As a result, in the end, his own mother was also arrested and executed on a later date.

Tears fell from Wang Xiluan's eyes. (End of this chapter)
