After all, it was Jia Mu who sighed and said: "Brother Heng, you guys don't quarrel once or twice. We have different opinions on major external matters, so we should discuss it more often and don't quarrel easily."
These words were of course a way to smooth things over, describing the dispute between the two of them as a matter of different opinions.
I have to say that this kind of roundabout is quite good.
In fact, everyone in Rongqing Hall was well aware of it, except for its beautifying effect in front of Aunt Xue and Baochai.
The current dispute between Jia Heng and Jia She is not only due to a long-standing grudge, but also...a personal dispute over what Jia's family said.
Yuanchun's entry into the palace is not a personal matter of the Xifu family, but a matter of the entire Jia clan, and is closely related to the fate of the four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue.
Sister Feng smiled and said: "Brother Heng is a capable person. Previously, he often helped make decisions on some matters within the clan."
Jia Heng looked indifferent and said: "The eldest man has been busy with eldest sister's affairs for several years. He still can't believe it. It's true that he doesn't want to be reconciled."
Jia Mu nodded and said, "Okay, after this matter is over, no one is allowed to mention it again."
As Jia Heng said just now, the deal is done and there is no point in getting entangled in it.
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup on the side and drank the tea without saying a word. He just couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Yuanchun, Yingchun, Exploring Spring and Xichun.
The four springs are present together, and each has his or her own specialty.
After a while, Yuanyang smiled and said: "Old lady, dinner is ready."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Let's have dinner."
Everyone sat down one after another and gathered around a table to have dinner.
When Yuan Chun returned home, everyone gathered around and talked. After a while, laughter and laughter started.
After a while, night fell. Jia Heng looked at Jia Mu aside and said, "It's getting late. Old lady, I'll go back first."
Then he looked at Xichun, who was also getting up and about to go back, and said with a smile: "Sister, I just came back. Please stay here and talk for a while. It's lively. It won't be too late to go back tomorrow."
Xichun met those warm eyes, seemed to understand the intention, nodded, and said nothing more.
Jia Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Go ahead and Yuanyang will see you off for me."
Jia Heng and Yuanyang left Rongqing Hall and walked along the corridor towards Ning Mansion.
Yuanyang suddenly said: "Uncle, there is something I want to tell you."
Jia Heng was surprised and said, "What's the matter?"
Yuanyang said: "Yesterday, after my wife came back from Fourth Girl's Courtyard, she went to Master Bao's room and asked Xiren about the phone number."
Jia Heng frowned, but he remembered that he had never seen the attacker next to Baoyu just now?
Yuanyang said softly: "This morning, Xi Ren told me that yesterday, because the uncle mentioned the matter of changing charcoal in Mr. Bao's house, the wife said that she was not serious. Originally, she wanted to kick him out. Bao Er
I begged for mercy and demoted my maid to the second class, a small punishment but a big punishment."
Jia Heng frowned and said: "This... is a disaster for the fish in the pond."
In Rong Ning's Second Mansion, the maids next to the madam and the madam are called first-class maids, the maids next to the young master are second-class maids, and the next ones are the little maids and the rough maids.
There is also a category of maids who live in the same house, such as Qiutong in Jia She's room and Ping'er in Jia Lian's room.
Qingwen in Jia Heng's house is the same example.
Xiren was originally a first-class maid beside Jia Mu, but was later sent to Baoyu's side.
Xiren, Musk Moon, Qiu Wen, Bihen, this is the first-class maid in Baoyu House, and later Xiren became the maid of the first-class house.
Strictly speaking, Qingwen, who is next to Jia Heng, can now be regarded as the maid in the same house.
Jia Heng thought for a while and asked, "Yuanyang, you and Xi Ren grew up together, right?"
Yuanyang said softly: "Well, I used to serve the old lady, but now the second lady doesn't seem to like her very much. Is there anything you can do?"
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Sister Yuanchun came back from the palace and brought an eldest maid to hold the piano. Xiren Ke went back to the old lady to serve the eldest sister."
If Xiren still wants to be an aunt, then no one can do anything about it.
However, looking at this posture, Mrs. Wang has some opinions about Xi Ren, and it will be difficult for her to think of her as an aunt.
Yuanyang sighed and said, "Then I'll go back and ask her what she means."
"Last night, after the old lady went back, she had a very uncomfortable night. She kept telling me that she didn't take good care of the fourth girl, which made her suffer." Yuanyang said softly.
Jia Heng said: "These things in the house don't last a day or two, so it's okay not to mention them."
The mandarin duck's pink lips moved, but he stopped talking.
"Okay, we're here, Yuanyang, you can go back." Jia Heng walked to the door, stood up, looked at Yuanyang, and said with a smile.
"Then uncle, walk slowly." Yuanyang said softly, then looked at the young man opposite, turned and left, and sighed quietly.
At first, the young man said that he would take her away from the old lady and into her room, but now that she has not returned for a month, he seems to be fine.
Jia Heng returned to Ning Mansion. In the inner flower hall, the lights were brightly lit and the sound of chatter and laughter could be heard. When he entered it, he saw Qin Zhongzheng talking to Qin Keqing, with You sitting beside him.
Qin Keqing stood up, greeted him, and said with a smile: "Husband, you are back."
Qin Zhong stood up and called: "Brother-in-law."
Jia Heng nodded, sat down at the side, took the tea cup from Qingwen, and asked: "Qing Jing, did you just come back from school?"
As he spoke, he took a look at Qin Zhong. The young man with red lips and white teeth and a delicate face may have tanned a bit recently and already showed some heroic spirit.
"I have two days off from school." Qin Keqing said with a smile, then looked at the somewhat shy Qin Zhong and said, "Tell your brother-in-law what happened in the school?"
Jia Heng smiled and said, "What do the instructors in the martial arts hall teach?"
The instructors in the martial arts hall were all low-ranking generals whom Jia Heng asked Cai Quan to find from the capital camp.
Qin Zhong was stared at by Jia Heng, his cheeks turned red, and he said softly: "I taught you some techniques to build up your strength first, and also learned some archery."
Jia Heng said: "Take your time, make your body bones strong first, and then practice martial arts."
Qin Keqing said softly: "I look much stronger. Dad said last time, would it be better for Mr. Jing to study for the imperial examination?"
"You also need to be in good health. After the New Year, you can go to Chongwen Hall to study crafts and articles. Of course, it mainly depends on his interest. Is martial arts more interesting or the imperial examination is better." Jia Heng said softly and looked at Qin with a smile.
Zhong asked, "Would you like to join the army or take the imperial examination in the future?"
Qin Zhong looked up at Jia Heng, his eyes shining brightly, and said: "I...I...want to learn martial arts and join the army."
Perhaps it was the archery games played in the past few days that aroused some interest in this handsome boy who looked like a girl.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "It's okay to learn martial arts, but you still have to study when you should, otherwise you will just be a brave and foolhardy martial artist, but there will be no future."
Qin Zhong nodded heavily and responded.
Qin Keqing sighed, with a hint of melancholy on her beautiful face, and said softly: "Husband, daddy wants Jingqing to take the imperial examination and become an official."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "In a few days, when I have some free time, I will go visit my father-in-law."
Qin Keqing nodded and asked, "I heard from Sister-in-law You that Sister Xifu is back?"
"Yes, I'm back." Jia Heng looked at Youshi, his gentle and affectionate eyes stayed for a moment, and said: "Tomorrow, I think the eldest sister will come over. You two should talk to her. She is in the palace.
It’s not easy to live here for so many years.”
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he said no more. Under the guidance of Qingwen, he went to the wing to take a bath.
…
…
The next day, in the inner study room, the winter morning light passed through the window, casting the tall and tall figure of the young man on the bookcase.
Jia Heng put down his pen and put the books in a row.
Early in the morning, Tanchun came in from outside. The girl put on a pale red silk skirt. With a smile on her eyes, Yingxiu called out: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng smiled, raised his eyes to look at Tan Chun, and said, "The third sister is here."
Tan Chun walked forward with light steps and asked curiously: "Brother Heng, are you going to go out to sit in the government office today?"
Jia Heng said: "Well, I'll go out later. I just called some men from the clan to come over and explain some things, and then I'll go to the Nancheng camp."
Tan Chun's beautiful face showed curiosity and asked: "Brother Heng wants to meet the men of the clan?"
Jia Heng explained: "Recently, the new army's training is about to begin. I mobilized several men from the clan to join the new army's Yitong for training."
Tan Chunming's eyes flashed, his face was thoughtful, and he said softly: "People say that swords and guns have no eyesight. I don't know what these men in the clan think."
Jia Heng said: "Let's take a look first. No one in the clan mentioned this matter before. Some side branches, even if they wanted to find a family background, had no way, but they wasted the experience of several ancestors of Ning Rong's second house in the army.
Connections.”
In the past, Jia Zhen and Jia She only had one title in the East and West Prefectures, and no one worked as an official outside the country.
The children of these side branches did not live a prosperous life at home. Even if they wanted to find a better family background, they had nowhere to look.
Take Jia Yun, the second master of Langxia, as an example. The family was almost at a loss, so when they were repairing the garden, they even asked Jia Lian and Sister Feng to have connections.
If you were given a way to join the army, even if you took 10,000 steps back, you could still get a share of Erlumi, would you be willing to do so?
And among these tribesmen, Jia Yun is obviously not the only one. With so many people, there are always those who are willing to take risks and join the army to seek wealth.
Tan Chun nodded and said: "What Brother Heng said is that our family started with military service, but in this generation, before Brother Heng, no one served in the military. This is not a good sign. If I
If I were not a girl, I would rather join the army."
Jia Heng looked at the girl with a determined look on her face, stretched out his hand to hold the girl's shoulders, gently pressed her on the Taishi chair, and said with a smile: "Third sister, sit down now and help me sort out these military reports.
If he is in charge of military affairs, he can be regarded as joining the army."
Tanchun was supported by the young man and his shoulders were splayed, especially when the heat was beating on his forehead. His eyebrows were lowered, and a faint blush appeared on his cheeks. He let out a soft "hmm", and his heart was already beating non-stop.
A woman outside said, "Sir, the men of the clan have arrived in the front hall."
Jia Heng looked at Tan Chun and said with a smile: "Third sister, you wait here, I'll go see them."
With that said, he went to the flower hall.
In the flower hall, the nanmu chairs were filled with men from the Jia clan, all of whom were relatively young from the jade generation and the grass generation.
There are Jia?, Jia Qian, Jia Chen, Jia Qiong, Jia Lin and others of the Yu generation; Jia Chang, Jia Ling, Jia Yun, Jia Qin, Jia Fang, Jia Fen and others of the Cao generation.
The literary generation Jia Xiao, Jia Dun, and Jia Chi are all a bit older, and they lead errands for the Ning Mansion outside. As deacons, they inspect some shops, farmland and other matters.
When everyone saw Jia Heng coming in, they all stood up and bowed to Jia Heng.
For a time, he was called Uncle Heng and Uncle Heng, respectively.
"Everyone, please sit down. There is no need for you to be polite." Jia Heng smiled, waved his hand, and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Jia Chen was in his early twenties and had a handsome face. He had listened to Jia Heng's orders, pretended to be Jia Lian, and deceived the Sanhe Gang into helping him. He looked at Jia Heng with shining eyes and said, "I don't know what you want me to do when you call us here."
Facing the gazes one after another, Jia Heng's face straightened and he said loudly: "I invite some brothers and nephews to come over. I have a piece of wealth that I want to ask everyone, do you want it?"
"Wealth?" Everyone was stunned, with different expressions.
They were older and had a relatively calm temperament. Although they looked happy, they were still waiting patiently. They just secretly guessed that Uncle Heng had some good errands to send them.
But Jia Qin's heart was already burning, her eyes lit up, she stood up suddenly, and spoke first: "Uncle Heng, if anything happens, just give me my orders, go up the mountain of swords, go down into the sea of fire, my nephew won't even frown!"
"Good ambition!"
Jia Heng praised Jia Hengjie and turned around to look at Jia Qin. In the original work, this Jia clan member brought his domestic Taoist priests to the temple to fool around and gather gangsters to drink and gamble. He was seventeen or eighteen years old and had a dumbfounded look on his face.
Green appearance.
Jia Heng said solemnly: "Now the imperial court wants to organize the army and use military force to curb the chaos. I have been ordered by the emperor to supervise Guo Yong and camp the armies. It is the time to employ people. They are all young and of the right age and have the will to do so."
Those who follow me to join the army to find a career, follow the example of Ningrong ancestors, and fight for wealth and wealth with swords and guns, can go to the camp for training today. I am the leader of the Jia clan and will not treat them badly."
Everyone in the hall looked at each other in shock when they heard this.
Jia Heng glanced at Jia Juan, Jia Chen, Jia Qiong, Jia Lin, Jia? and others, and saw varying degrees of doubts on their faces.
Looking at Jia Chang, Jia Ling, Jia Yun, Jia Qin, Jia Fang, Jia Fen and others, for example, Jia Chang and Jia Ling were either surprised or frightened, and some were eager to try.
Jia Heng said: "Of course, all this is voluntary and will not be forced. After all, he has to fight with people with swords and guns. If he does it well, I will guarantee his future!"
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Jia? looked bitter and said hesitantly: "Brother Heng, I am old and haven't practiced martial arts much. There is an old lady above me, and there are your nephews and nieces below, who have just started school.
I really can’t stay away from you.”
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Brother, it is human nature to worry about the safety of the family. Jiao Da asked someone to go to the accountant to pay five taels of silver, and asked brother to take it with him. It is the Chinese New Year, and what is missing at home?
What, buy some."
With a look of shame on his face, Jia Da thanked him profusely for his kindness, and walked out of the corridor with his face turning black.
Seeing that Jia Heng was not annoyed, Jia Fen looked embarrassed and whispered: "Uncle Heng, I have been weak and sick since I was a child, and I am not a soldier. I just got married last year."
Jia Heng glanced at Jia Fen and saw that he had a strong figure and a ruddy complexion. He frowned and said: "Nephew Fen, your body seems to be a little weak. It is indeed difficult to join the army. Jiao Da, please send someone to the warehouse to pack a few
Come and bring the ginseng to Jia Fen."
Jiao Da's face turned black and he ordered a young boy to lead Jia Fen there. He snorted coldly and scolded: "Why did the master give birth to such cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Jia Heng frowned and shouted: "Jiao Da, don't be rude!"
Hearing this, Jiao Da clasped his fists and retreated angrily.
However, after this incident, there were one or two others who were hesitant. After listening to Jiao Da's words, they found it difficult to leave.
Jia Qin's face turned pale and she opened her mouth. She wanted to say nothing, but she just threw out all the words she had just said, but why couldn't she say anything about quitting.
Jia Heng looked at Jia Juan, Jia Chen, Jia Qiong, Jia Lin and others, nodded, then glanced at Jia Chang, Jia Ling, Jia Yun, Jia Fang, Jia Qin and others, and said in a deep voice: "
If you all come to the army first, if you really can't hold on, you can withdraw after the new army is trained, but once you join the army, you must strictly obey orders, and you must know that military law is ruthless."
He didn't originally intend to take them all, he would rather have his mother spend more money.
However, joining the army involves life risks after all, and it is normal to have doubts. Even in future generations, if war breaks out, not everyone will be willing to serve in the military.
And no one is born brave, courage and courage can all be cultivated.
When everyone heard this, some people breathed a sigh of relief.
Jia Heng said: "Jiao Da, let each person in the accountant withdraw ten taels of silver and let them go home and settle down."
When everyone heard this, their faces couldn't help but look happy. Some were a little shaken, thinking that maybe being in the army would be a good idea?
After all, the surname is Jia, so it’s not too bad to get along, right?
Jiao Da quickly responded and led a few people there.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
"Three Kingdoms: I was buried alive at the beginning, but Emperor Ling helped me ascend the throne"
In the first year of Jianning in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the evil of party imprisonment arose. Eunuchs and scholar-bureaucrats fought in the palace, and the newly born prince Liu Yu died unfortunately.
On the day of burial, the prince's body mysteriously disappeared in the coffin!
Emperor Liu Hong was furious and ordered a thorough investigation into the disappearance of the prince, killing the responsible eunuchs and thousands of imperial guardsmen!
…
Ten years later, in a Taoist temple on the outskirts of Luoyang, Liu Yu traveled through the late Han Dynasty for more than ten years!
At this time, he was talking in detail about the past with a "middle-aged businessman".
"Uncle Liu, I was still a baby at that time, how could I know what happened?"
"The only thing I know is that my master rescued me from the coffin!"
"I heard that His Majesty's son has died. I will probably be buried with the little prince, right?"
The middle-aged businessman looked at Liu Yu blankly and asked in shock.
