Chapter 173 Jia Lian: Brother Xiao Yuanchun will add one to your dowry
Chapter 173 Jia Lian: Xiao Yuanchun, how about adding a fief to your dowry?
It's true that Jia Lian, as an elder brother, shouldn't be too obvious. Besides, this little chubby guy doesn't look as weak as he did in the original world.
I think it was Jia Lian's "torture" from time to time over the years that played a big role. Especially this year when Baoyu gave birth to a baby, "men and women sit on separate tables for eight years old." The old lady asked someone to replace the large round table in Rongqing Hall with three.
A smaller table.
Baoyu, Lin Yong and Jia Cong were sitting together. Sichun, Daiyu Xiangyun and Qianqian were sitting at the same table. The old lady was sitting at the same table with Qin Keqing, Wang Xifeng and the Xing family and Wang family who came occasionally.
The elders sit at the same table.
For a period of time after this, Baoyu Xiaopangsha often looked at Jia Lian with resentful eyes, which made him secretly feel pain in his stomach from laughing.
However, Jia Lian would bring some gadgets from the "Game World" to the little ones from time to time, and never short of Baoyu's share. As time went by, the big-faced Baoyu also put down his resentful expression.
Seeing Jia Lian looking at him at this time, Xiaopangsha quickly grinned and gave a flattering smile, but Jia Lian turned his eyes and looked at Yuanchun.
Later this year, the father of the Li family met his second uncle Jia Zheng, and they had a very pleasant conversation.
Afterwards, Jia Lian asked his maternal aunt Zhang Ye, who was in charge of the housekeeping of his maternal grandfather's family, to come forward and invite several dignitaries and the imperial wives of civil servants to hold a tea party.
Yuanchun also went with the old lady...
Finally, when the first month came out, the Li family and the Rongguo Mansion began to follow the process of three letters and six etiquettes. It is expected that in September or October this year, Yuanchun, who has turned sixteen, will get married!
Because of this, Yuanchun has become the most special existence in Rongqing Hall in recent times.
When Yuanchun grew up, her face looked a little bigger, but fortunately it was not as big as a big face. In addition, her eyebrows were extremely beautiful, combined with her high nose bridge and big moist eyes.
She is still a little beauty with a score of nearly 90!
At this time, Yuanchun suddenly noticed Jia Lian's gaze, thinking that the bad second brother was going to make fun of her again by making him a raft, so he quickly glared at Jia Lian, trying to preemptively strike.
Jia Lian didn't take it seriously. He laughed and said to Yuan Chun:
"Xiao Yuanchun is going to get married in a few months. When I think about this, as a brother, I feel bad~"
Yuan Chun was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Jia Lian would say such sad words when he opened his mouth. He couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but he didn't expect the bad guy to continue:
"Over in Nanyang, Old Liu should be able to conquer Luzon in a month or two. Xiao Yuanchun, tell me, second brother, should I give you 100,000 acres of fertile land as a dowry, or should I find you a house worth 200,000 to 300,000 acres?
How about using this acre of island as a fiefdom for you?"
Before Yuanchun could say anything, Sissi, who was silently paying attention to her master, exclaimed.
"Wow! One hundred thousand acres of fertile land? Fiefdom?"
This time, it completely attracted the attention of everyone in the Rongqing Hall. Even the old lady cast inquiring glances. Seeing this, Qianqian quickly stepped forward and repeated Jia Lian's words just now with added embarrassment.
These words immediately aroused a cry of surprise and envy, and even the old lady couldn't help but be moved.
"Lian'er, is this...appropriate?"
"Ancestor, please rest assured that although this daughter's business is a loss-making business, our Rongguo Mansion is happy to compensate and willing to compensate, and will never let your eldest granddaughter suffer any injustice."
When the daughter of a wealthy family in Kuda gets married, or even when the daughter of an ordinary family gets married, the betrothal gift received is not much, but the dowry is really too much to bear.
There are many people who have gone bankrupt because of this! This is the origin of the word "losing money"...
However, anyone who loves their daughter will give her a generous dowry when she gets married, so that her daughter can stand upright in her husband's family and not be looked down upon by her aunts and sisters-in-law.
"Bah! Who asked you this? When your eldest sister gets married, you will naturally get a big gift. I'm asking what happened to that fiefdom?"
"That's it. I have discussed it with the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty earlier. After conquering the land of Luzon and several surrounding large islands, we will follow the example of Emperor Zhou and directly entrust them to the major clans.
The prince and the general family.
Our family is the initiator and main force in the attack on Luzon. We can get a large piece of territory no matter what. However, this place is too close to our China. If our descendants develop in the future, they will easily conflict with the Daqing Dynasty. Therefore, Luzon
I don’t plan to ask for more from my grandson.
But it’s okay to need a few small pieces of land to create fiefdoms for my younger brothers and sisters!”
Now the well-informed old lady was a little numb after hearing this, but she was still a little worried.
"But shouldn't this fiefdom be decided by the Holy One?"
"..."
"Ancestor, our family now has a royal family. It is already a mountain with two tigers. It is just because our family and the Yang family are friends forged by our ancestors. The Supreme Emperor has always treated our family very well, and his grandchildren have not been treated well either.
Regardless of the ruin of life, he went to seize the throne of others, so he came up with this strategy of opening up the sea...
Anyway, don’t worry, I have the final say on overseas matters now!"
The old lady was stunned for a while after hearing this. She was just a woman who lived in her inner house. What's more, she had become more and more careless in recent years and only cared about having fun. How could she have thought that the situation outside had reached such a state.
"Okay, Yuanchun first consider whether you want acres or fiefs. As for you, when you get married, second brother, I will also get an overseas fiefdom or acres for each of you. In short, don't be afraid of not having land. Just be afraid.
You won’t want to ask for it then!”
The rest of Sanchun, Shi Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu and several others cheered when they heard this. Xiangyun even ran up to Jia Lian and asked as if to make a fool of himself: "Second brother, is it even me?"
Jia Lian rolled his eyes: "What are you talking about? Are you not my sister anymore?"
"Hehe~ I knew you, second brother, were the best!"
(˙︶˙)
Xiao Xichun on the other side was thinking further. At this time, she was sitting upright and imagining what it would be like to accept the worship of her subjects after she became the queen!
'No matter what the other sisters choose, I will definitely choose a fiefdom. When the time comes, I will ask my second brother to choose a bigger place for me!
Queen Xichun! Hehe~~’
╮(￣▽￣)╭
Thinking of this, Xiao Xichun's pink face suddenly couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
"Hey? Sister Xichun, why are you laughing?"
Xichun blushed when Sissi asked, "How can you say such a thing so easily? It's embarrassing, okay?"
However, in the end, Xiao Xichun could not withstand the "torture to extract a confession" from her sisters, and blushed and said what she had just said in her heart.
It immediately caused the sisters in the room to burst into laughter, and then they laughed and started to think about it involuntarily.
Looking at the little sisters playing in a group, and then looking at Jia Lian, the old lady at the head originally wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't.
For my daughter's family to be pampered to such an extent, it is beyond description as lawless. My own capable grandson even wants them to be queens in the future!
That's okay...
Just thinking about the changes in Rongguo Mansion in the past two years, her eldest grandson has become increasingly difficult for her to understand. Well, let the father and son take care of these external matters!
After having some fun with his younger brothers and sisters, Jia Lian then walked out of Rongguo Mansion and headed for the imperial city.
…
In the main hall of Longshou Palace, Jia Lian took out the gold medal given by the Supreme Emperor earlier and came to the hall with ease.
Xia Shouzhong saw Jia Lian from a distance, and walked briskly to the Supreme Emperor, who was still writing something at his desk, and whispered:
"Your Majesty, General Wuwei is here..."
The Supreme Emperor did not even raise his head and said softly:
"Here comes Mr. Jia. Please give me a seat and wait for me to finish painting."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Emperor~"
Xia Shouzhong personally went to the side hall and brought a heavy chair for Jia Lian. There was no way around it, the little teacup that was originally used as a seat in the Dragon Head Palace was not welcomed by the general at all!
Considering the importance of Jia Lian in front of the Supreme Emperor, this trivial matter naturally didn't matter. Now when Xia Shouzhong met the Supreme Emperor offering Jia Lian a seat, he didn't even need to ask anything, he just moved the chair of his own accord.
Soon, when the Supreme Emperor was putting away his pen, Emperor Baode also came to Longshou Palace. When Jia Lian saw this person, he stood up and saluted with a solemn expression.
"No need, Jia Qing and I will go and have a look at the great work of the Supreme Emperor."
It can be seen that Emperor Baode was in a good mood today, and he thought he had encountered something good.
Naturally, Jia Lian would not ruin the situation. He followed Emperor Baode around the coiled dragon relief in front of the high platform of the Supreme Emperor's Dragon Seat, and followed the steps on the right to the Supreme Emperor's Dragon Seat.
But on the table in front of the Emperor's dragon chair, on a piece of rice paper spread out, there was a large round bronze tripod with three legs and two ears. There were also vaguely carved mountains, rivers, birds and beasts on the tripod.
There seems to be a spirit in the painting. Jia Lian can feel the gorgeous and heavy feeling coming to his face at a glance. It seems that His Majesty the Supreme Emperor is indeed very successful in painting!
"Father, the Qingzhou tripod painting is really profound. Your painting skills are enough to rank among the top three in the world!"
"Qingzhou Ding?"
As soon as Jia Lian's question came out of his mouth, it attracted side glances, or in other words, contempt, from the two emperors.
"Jia Xiaozi is really uneducated and has no skills. This painting is the only one of the nine tripods in China that has been handed down to this day - the Qingzhou tripod!
It is enshrined in the Ancestral Temple, and you, as a noble person, don’t know?”
"Uh... Hey, Your Majesty, I've never been to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, how could I know that such an artifact is enshrined there?
Then what is so special about the Qingzhou Cauldron of the Supreme Emperor?"
"The Shenzhou Jiuding has been broken for a long time, and the only remaining Qingzhou tripod has been repaired by later generations before it survives relatively completely. As for its efficacy...
At that time, the Taizu of our dynasty used this cauldron to kill two powerful men from the Northern Empress Jin Tatar in succession - the two brothers Huang Taiji and Dorgon!"
???
Damn it!
This is different from what is written in history books!
but……
Are the two emperors showing Jia Lian the royal family's heritage?
Do you feel threatened?
If what they said is true, then this Qingzhou Cauldron is indeed worthy of its prestigious reputation as one of the Nine Cauldrons in China.
Even if he is not in perfect condition, he can still kill the two legendary powerhouses Huang Taiji and Dorgon with one strike, which is really awesome!
But, so what?
Young Master, I have no intention of deciding the outcome with your Yang royal family...
"It turns out that your majesty's safety is protected by such a peerless artifact, so I can rest assured. I am still worried that the imperial city will suddenly encounter three powerful men above the innate realm like yesterday in Antai County and suffer heavy losses."
"Three innate ones? What's going on? Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier, Jia boy?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the matter has been dealt with. However, due to the sudden incident, the 100,000 people in Antai County were killed and injured close to 40,000, which is a heavy loss! Your Majesty still needs to urgently send additional manpower to provide compensation.
As for the culprits, I have already killed two of the three legendary warriors from the Kong family, the Zheng family and the Fan family. The remaining traitor from the Fan family was also captured alive and tortured and interrogated. However, I was furious.
Then they crippled his hands and feet, and even gouged out one of his eyes!
In a few days, Jia Quan will escort him back to Beijing, leaving you two to deal with him!"
"..."
The Supreme Emperor and Emperor Baode couldn't help but look at each other for a while, good guys, we just gave you a shock, you will immediately backhand and retaliate in kind, right?
The Qingzhou Cauldron has been enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple for more than 100 years. Whether it can still be used? If it can be used, how powerful it can be is still a question.
But Jia Lian said that he faced three legendary warriors yesterday and not only won the battle, he also killed two of them on the spot and captured another one!
Presumably, this kind of information can be found out clearly by the Imperial City Secretary in a few days, and Jia Lian will not be shameless enough to tell such a lie.
If you just say that, the force at hand of this kid has probably increased again. This "master" is really an innate magical power that makes people jealous and enviable, so terrifying!
The old and new emperors looked at each other, with a hint of sadness and happiness in their hearts.
Emperor Baode pondered for a while and then asked Jia Lian:
"Well, Jia Qing, look at it, is there still a possibility of subduing the captured Fan clan member?"
"Your Majesty, this is not an issue that I should consider. It's just that this person comes from the Jiexiu Fan family, a wealthy merchant family in Shanxi, and he behaves with the common people as if they are nothing. He is simply unscrupulous.
Yesterday, he committed a heinous crime. If His Majesty wants to use him, he must be given a new look, otherwise it will inevitably cause public resentment."
"Well... let's wait until Mr. Jia Quan, Jia Qing's subordinate, returns to Beijing."
After that, Jia Lian accompanied the two emperors and talked about some common things before saying goodbye and leaving.
After Jia Lian left, only the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Baode and his son were left in the main hall of Longshou Palace.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Baode, his son, spoke first.
"Father, this kid Jia Lian is really like this..."
"So naive?"
"yes!"
Emperor Baode finally saw it. To say whether Jia Lian was in awe of him as the emperor, it was really not at all.
But if he said he didn't take Emperor Baode seriously at all, that's not the case. Jia Lian seemed to treat Emperor Baode as an uncle of his father's generation and treat the Supreme Emperor as a relative of his father's generation.
This made Emperor Baode feel a little uncomfortable in his heart...
The Supreme Emperor "hummed" and did not answer Emperor Baode. He is already over eighty years old this year, and has long passed the age where face and dignity are more important than life and death.
Not to mention that he could see that Jia Lian had no intention of giving charity to the royal family. Even if the Yang royal family was really the result of Jia Lian being concerned about the relationship between his family and the royal ancestors and could not bear to rebel, he was able to continue to sit on the throne.
His old man would only be proud of it and not feel depressed at all!
…
On Jia Lian's side, [Green Dragon's Jade] also recognized his "correspondence" master, Elder Zi Ning of the Lingbao Sect of Zaoge Mountain.
I originally planned to write two chapters in one chapter of 3,000 words...
