Speaking of the historians, the two marquises are also interesting figures. Jia Sidao's report just now mentioned their affairs. After these two brothers obtained some overseas Southeast Asian trade and colonial benefits through Jia Lian, they actually went to Annan again.
The battle got mixed up.
Shi Nai, the Marquis of Baoling, actually deceived his younger brother Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, on the grounds that big families in ancient times made bets on both sides, and allowed him to participate in the Battle of Annan led by Prince Yizhong with the secret support of the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion.
A lot of benefits were obtained.
But he only shared a small part of the benefits to Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding, saying that he was now on the side of Yizhong County Prince and was not suitable to be closely associated with Zhongjing Hou Mansion...
Let Shi Ding continue to invest with Rong Guofu, while he and Prince Yizhong develop elsewhere.
Unexpectedly, Shi Ding completely disagreed with this "strategy for the long-term development of the family" and accepted that he had to gain something from his investment. He was entangled endlessly with his brother Baolinghou, and the two brothers almost came to blows.
In the end, Baoling Hou couldn't bear it and offered many benefits transfers to calm the matter down.
But this incident came out for some reason, which made the high-ranking officials in Shenjing City laugh at it. The two Shi brothers were disgraced and didn't go out much recently...
In the past two years, Baoyu, Jia Cong, Linyong, and another Jia Huan have all entered the clan school. Unlike the three younger ones who attended the elementary school class and were released every afternoon, the 12-year-old Baoyu must receive semi-closed education.
, now I only have holidays to go home on the tenth day.
Therefore, the only ones in Rongqing Hall today are the sisters from the Jia Mansion. The three younger ones, Jia Cong and Jia Huan, have all returned to their own courtyard, while Lin Yong has returned to the Lin Mansion and is not in Rongguo Mansion.
Naturally, Baoyu had to stay in the clan to study and stay...
"Ancestor, ancestor, Hong'er came to see you. Did you miss me today..."
Little Jia Hong was riding on Jia Lian's neck, and while he was still sitting on the verandah in the courtyard, the cheerful children's voice had already reached the ears of everyone in the hall.
"Hee~ Xiao Hong'er is here."
The sisters who were joking while learning female beauty were all pleasantly surprised when they heard this, and the old lady above her also smiled.
The old lady didn't really care much about Zhi Yusheng's great-great-great-granddaughter at first, but she couldn't help but like Jia Lian.
Even the old lady was surprised by his joyful look at being a father for the first time.
After Jia Lian's mother Zhang passed away, Jia Lian became extremely withdrawn and eccentric for a period of time (just time traveled), and even had a small quarrel with his father Jia She and two uncles on his mother's funeral hall.
One game.
It took a lot of effort from her and Jia Daishan to warm up the grandson who had suffered a huge change, but it was all worth it.
Now, it is true that the most promising person among the entire Shenjing Jia family and even among the younger generation in the world is his grandson. It can be said that all the clan members have to look up to him now.
What happened back then is also the most proud thing in the old lady's life. She can now sit in the high hall and enjoy her happiness without worrying at all about the complicated affairs inside and outside the family. It all depends on this.
Since Jia Lian likes her, and little Jia Hong is indeed beautiful, smart and cute, the old lady will naturally not be stingy with her love.
When the maid in front of the door saw Jia Lian and her daughter, she quickly opened the curtain high. Jia Lian reached out to lift the clothes on Jia Hong's vest and gently pulled her off her neck.
, bend down and put it behind the threshold.
As soon as her little boots fell to the ground, little Jiahong ran towards the old lady and threw herself into her arms, calling out sweetly:
"Ancestor, Xiao Hong'er misses you~"
"Hey~Whose sweet girl is this? How did she become so beautiful?"
"Hehe, ancestor, I am your family's sweet daughter... Ancestor, you haven't said yet whether you missed me today?"
"..."
Wang Xifeng, who is sitting next to her, is wearing a Hunan red Sichuan brocade and Begonia gold double jubilee pattern dress, with a lake color embroidered pink white wisteria flower pipa lapel, a green satin gown with eight blessings, and a golden bun with eight treasures and beads on her head.
Chaoyang five phoenix hanging pearl hairpin.
Even after giving birth to a daughter, Wang Xifeng is still the dazzling and colorful Wang Xifeng!
"Xiao Hong'er, do you only think about your ancestors and not me, my second mother?"
"That's right. Just now I was thinking about Er Niang and my sister, as well as my grandmother and aunt. I miss you too~"
"Haha~ You little clever guy, I don't believe it."
"Haha~"
How could such a smart little girl not be lovable? Even Xing and Li Wan could not help but laugh out loud.
Li Wan saw the old lady's affectionate treatment of little Jia Hong from the side, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
My own Lan'er is the eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Lan has never been treated so affectionately in front of the old lady.
After all, he is a baby with a father...
But even so, Li Wan just ignored this thought in her heart. She actually understood that even if Jia Zhu was still alive, Jia Lan would still be inferior to Jia Hong.
By the way, Jia Lian asked her if she wanted to have a daughter the night before yesterday. How much does this bad guy like his daughter...
But with her current status, how could she be allowed to give birth to another child? If she really did that, I'm afraid she would really have no shame in continuing to live.
So he flatly refused, but he didn't expect that his words would offend Jia Lian somehow, and he was ruthlessly attacked all night long. The next day, he could only complain to the old lady about his illness, for fear of being noticed.
Here Daiyu Xiangyun and Sanchun saw Jia Lian who came in. The liveliest Xiangyun quickly stepped forward and pulled his sleeves, pulling him to his seat.
"Brother Lian, look, these are the footwear I made for the two babies. How do you think they are? They look good, don't they?"
Jia Lian raised his eyebrows and looked at the two pairs of red socks with sparse stitching and asymmetrical length and length. He was speechless. After hesitating for a moment, he cruelly said:
"Please sister Xiangyun please don't let such footwear be worn on my baby..."
"Ah~~"
"Pfft!"
"Hehe~"
Jia Lian's funny dislike succeeded in amusing Sanchun and Daiyu who were watching the show, and his crisp laughter attracted the attention of the old lady in the hall.
Seeing them looking over, the youngest Xichun took the opportunity to retell the conversation between Jia Lian and Xiang Yun to the old lady, which made little Jia Hong couldn't help but curiously took a few steps to see the footwear made by Xiang Yun.
He also said: "What footwear? Did Aunt Xiangyun make it for me?"
When little Jia Hong came closer and was picked up by Jia Lian and took a closer look at the two pairs of footwear in Xiang Yun's hands, the little guy's tone immediately changed.
"Aunt Xiangyun's footwear should be given to Xiao Ying'er and Xiao Qiao'er. Hong'er, I don't need you to do anything..."
While talking in his little mouth, he seemed to have anticipated something, and kicked his calves and slipped away from Jia Lian.
really…
"Okay, you little Hong'er, I think you have no filial piety at all, and you dare to bury Aunt Tai. I won't let you be spared today! Don't run away!"
"Ah! Aunt Yingchun save me~"
"..."
The little girl played together with her aunts, and the cheerful laughter kept spreading, resounding throughout the night sky of Rongguo Mansion.
…
In the early morning, in Zhiyu's courtyard bedroom, on the big huanghuali bed, Zhiyu lay gently in Jia Lian's arms, letting his big hand do mischief on her body.
"Master..."
Jia Lian had a sound sleep and was full of energy at this time. He was still hesitating about whether to do anything. He paused slightly when he heard Zhiyu's voice.
"Um?"
Zhiyu put a hand in front of her body, slightly stopping Jia Lian's movements, as if to bring his hand closer to her heart.
"My mother-in-law loves Xiao Hong'er so much, and I am naturally happy, but I am also worried that I am too pampering.
Grandma and Grandma Feng are both open-minded, so I won’t worry about anything. But in the future, when the children grow up, will there be any grudges between the brothers and sisters, and I’m afraid there will be some gossip among others..."
"Oh, let's live our own lives and don't care what others do. If there are those servants who are gossiping, just hold them down and give them a slap.
As for Hong'er and his brothers and sisters, I have made arrangements for my future, so you don't have to worry about it. But you have been recuperating for more than a year. Is it possible for you to give birth to a younger brother for Hong'er...
"
"Master...ah~"
Facts have proved that as long as the body is strong enough, even a large huanghuali bed can make noise...
After exercising in the early morning, a refreshed Jia Lian came to Qin Keqing's courtyard and did morning practice with her.
Since being promoted to the fourth realm of refining the gods, Jia Lian's physical fitness has also ushered in a period of explosive growth.
After this period ended, Jia Lian's physical strength alone was no less than that of a warrior at the peak of the Xiantian Grandmaster.
After that, he no longer deliberately went to the front yard to do morning exercises with the Qing soldiers every day. Instead, he accompanied Qin Keqing to do morning exercises on God training from time to time, and occasionally accompanied Wang Xifeng to recite Confucian classics in the morning.
When Wang Xifeng and Xie Yurong arrived, they finished their breakfast warmly, and the warm and happy day began again.
At the same time, on the Thames River, in the foggy city of Richmond.
Hampton Court Palace.
King Noão V of Portugal is admiring an oil painting of a beauty in the most conspicuous position in the first hall of the State Guest House. It is said that it is the most beautiful palace lady in Shakespeare's era.
He smiled and said: "Compared with Hampton Palace, my Mafela Palace seems to have some lack of foundation."
When King George II of England heard this, he glanced at him lightly, but felt a little jealous in his heart.
Although George II was the king of England, tall and handsome, his fate seemed a bit miserable compared to the lucky man in front of him.
His mother, Queen Dorothea of George I, began to dislike her husband at some unknown time, and instead fell in love with a colonel of the Swedish Dragoons at the time.
Later, the incident was revealed, and George I felt he had suffered great humiliation. Not only did he divorce Dorothea, but he also imprisoned her in the Alcázar for life.
It is said that Dorothea was only twenty-eight years old at the time, and had been imprisoned for thirty-two years by the time of her death.
When George II was in his teens, he learned of his mother's misfortune. From then on, his relationship with his father began to deteriorate rapidly. Of course, the father and son did not have a deep relationship before.
George I has always refused to grant any position to his eldest son, although George II became a second-level peak faith knight after he came of age.
He traveled around with his father and fought for many years, showing great bravery, and even achieved remarkable military exploits in the Battle of Oudenaard, but George I always belittled him.
Long-term misfortunes and a repressed life made George II irritable, and he was known for his arrogance after he came to the throne.
Nohan V came to the throne at the age of seventeen. The difference was that this young man did not give any chance to his domestic conspirators. Once he came to power, he firmly held power with the support of several loyal ministers left by his father. He became the first true absolute monarch in Portuguese history.
What made George II even more jealous was that his father King Pedro's army discovered several gold mines and diamond mines in the Portuguese colony of Rosewood (Brazil). However, Pedro died of illness not long after. This huge The wealth naturally fell into the hands of Noang V.
The influx of large amounts of gold promoted the rapid economic prosperity of Portugal, and King Noon V relied on this wealth to achieve the rejuvenation of the country.
Noon V successfully reorganized and expanded the navy and army, bringing Portugal's military strength back to almost the same level as Europe.
His superb diplomatic methods even successfully enabled Portugal to maintain its neutral status in the disputes among European countries and maintain good diplomatic relations with all countries.
Even the King of England, George II, who is known for his arrogance and is now becoming more and more powerful, dare not look down upon him...
In the extremely luxurious inner courtyard conference room of Hampton Court Palace, King John V took a sip of Scottish black tea and put down the white and delicate porcelain in his hand:
"The porcelain from the Far East is really beautiful, elegant and delicate, but unfortunately it is too fragile."
George II glanced at him: "It's better not to say this in front of William recently."
William naturally refers to William IV, the king of the Netherlands at this time.
Because of Jia Lian, the Netherlands' important colony in the Far East, Batavia, was lost, and William IV was in a very bad mood.
The Netherlands has lost many wars to England in recent years, and its power has been declining. Among the European countries, the only thing worthy of praise among the European countries is its commercial and trade capabilities.
Previously, the only foreigners allowed by Fuso to do business in the Far East were the Netherlands, as well as Xiaoliuqiu and the Dutch East India Company. These were originally one of the most important pockets of money in the Netherlands.
Now due to the loss of Malacca and Batavia, most of these money bags have been divided up by the domestic forces in Daqing.
It was strange that William IV was in a good mood. Both of them knew that since learning the news about the Far East, William IV had been cursing that Far Eastern country in the most vicious words almost every day for more than a year.
Nohan V couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this and glanced at George II.
"Your English Tianzhu is also under threat from Daqing. It may be lost at any time, and you still have the heart to laugh at others."
George II Wenyan's expression suddenly turned gloomy. Several British governors in Tianzhu had sent more than a dozen letters asking for help in the past two years. How could he not be worried?
