Chapter 1013 Postscript (6) Different encounters and different fates
When Shi Xiangyun returned to Beijing, he came back as the deputy general of the Southwest Frontier Army.
In the battle of annihilation directed by Jia Rong personally, she not only made plans and arranged logistics, but even led an army to charge into the battle with great vigor.
Military achievements have been promoted rapidly since ancient times. In just a few months, this man went from being a staff member of Jia Rong's commander-in-chief to a second-rank deputy general of the border army!
It is not an exaggeration to call him a hero among women!
With Jia Rong's support, even if there were many criticisms in the court, Shi Xiangyun's contribution was real and it was impossible to deny it.
In the end, he made the decision and directly exchanged his title for Shi Xiangyun's military merit and gave Shi Xiangyun the title of viscount.
This is really amazing!
What's more, Shi Xiangyun's title is still in the newly established Qianxiang Kingdom, and he owns a county-sized fiefdom.
There is no way, there is no suitable position for Shi Xiangyun in the capital, so she cannot be arranged to be a female official in the palace, right?
Fortunately, Jia Rong gave Shi Xiangyun the status of ambassador to the festival in the name of the vassal country's leader, giving Shi Xiangyun a certain degree of deterrence, otherwise it would be a joke.
Shi Xiangyun didn't care about this. What made her happy was that her husband Wei Ruolan survived, but lost one arm and became a one-armed man with a beautiful face.
After receiving the title, she naturally could not continue to live in the Wei family, so she moved directly with the somewhat lost Wei Ruolan, and then lived a happy life in which she was the master of the family.
…
Lian Er and Wang Xifeng, a couple who were childhood sweethearts, have entered their old age together, and they can be considered relatively happy.
Jia Lian is not bad, he is smart and good at reading, and he is also quite proficient in practical matters.
He got along well in the officialdom, and the key was to know how to be respectful. In addition, he had a strong background, and he rose to the position of minister of household affairs smoothly.
If he was willing, he could actually go one step further. At least there would be no problem in becoming a feudal official. However, he was getting tired of the intrigues and hypocrisy of officialdom in his old age, so he simply resigned and left.
He thought that he had made great contributions to his family throughout his life, and that he should take a break and enjoy a leisurely life when he was old.
Wang Xifeng is different, she will still be strong even when she is old.
The way she wants to show her strength is to control her husband Lian Er.
Especially after having a child, her confidence and courage are boundless.
Not only did she have to manage Lian Er's private property, but she also used Lian Er's status to do a lot of quite profitable business.
Everyone knows that many highly profitable businesses require the protection, or acquiescence, of local officials in order to operate smoothly.
The monthly ‘protection fee’ alone is not a small amount!
All of these naturally fall into Wang Xifeng’s control!
I don’t know if he was a little carried away by the flattery. Wang Xifeng even thought for a time that these benefits were obtained because he was good at management and had little to do with Lian Er.
All I can say is that she is really confident.
What annoyed Lian Er the most was that Wang Xifeng liked to interfere in government affairs.
Whenever someone came to ask for help and offered enough benefits, Wang Xifeng would do things for them, which always made Lian Er feel embarrassed.
In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Many official wives who make money in private have participated in such things.
It's just that some officials' wives are cautious and do things without leaving any trace, making it difficult for others to detect.
However, some official wives are not good at themselves and like to show off. Many things are exposed by themselves. Naturally, their reputation among the people and within the officialdom is not very good.
This is the situation of Wang Xifeng!
She has almost no concept of royal law in her eyes, and she dares to interfere in almost anything!
You are not stupid if you have your feet in Lian Er. There are some things that you can turn a blind eye to, but there are some things that you absolutely cannot do.
Once Wang Xifeng went too far, he was not polite and directly informed him of the risks involved. He also made it clear that if his opponents knew about it, he would not be able to keep his official title, and Wang Xifeng's life could not be saved either!
Wang Xifeng is still scared!
In order to avoid problems, Lian Er also specially explained to her the laws of the Daqian King, as well as some unspoken and explicit rules in the officialdom.
If you do something that doesn't involve people's lives, the problem won't be that big.
But once there are casualties, especially when officials are implicated, the situation and nature are completely different.
Those who are so unscrupulous and disrespectful will be ostracized by the entire bureaucracy.
It's okay when you're in good times, but once you're in decline, don't blame the officials next to you for adding insult to injury. It's hard for aliens in the officialdom to survive.
Faced with her husband Lian Er's warning, Wang Xifeng actually didn't care very much.
But she didn't know that Lian Er consulted Jia Rong, who was in the capital, and Wang Xifeng had the opportunity to become a demon.
The solution given by Jia Rong is very simple, which is to keep Wang Xifeng busy and not give her any chance to breathe.
As long as Wang Xifeng is too busy to do anything, she doesn't have the time or energy to do anything.
Lian Er is also a wonderful person. After receiving the advice, he directly handed over all his mother's dowry to Wang Xifeng for management and management.
Not to mention, with so many resources in his hands, it is difficult for Wang Xifeng to just sort out the clues, let alone manage them properly.
Although Feng Lazi looks like a strong woman, that's because of her character, and she does have some ideas and management skills, that's all.
After all, she did not study to improve herself, and she was not given many opportunities to gain practical experience through internships. Wang Xifeng's abilities were limited.
Just cleaning up the accounts could kill her, it's no exaggeration at all!
In this way, she was completely tied up by the complicated management affairs, and she had no time or energy to pay attention to external affairs.
When I get older, I need to worry about my children, Lian Er's inheritance of the first house, and later the separation of the family from the second house.
In short, things happened one after another, giving her no chance to breathe.
By the time she felt powerless, Lian Er was almost ready to resign.
Of course, Lian Er and Wang Xifeng's life is quite smooth, and their children and their families are prosperous, which is definitely not bad in the eyes of outsiders.
…
The alliance of the four major families in Jinling was basically in name only by the time Jia Rong passed away.
Most of the resources and power of the Ning Mansion were invested in the three vassal countries outside the sea, and what remained in Daqian was nothing more than an embassy.
When Jia Rong was alive, both the four major Jinling families and the Founding Group could barely survive.
But after he passed away as the core link, the two major interest alliances basically fell apart, and their influence in Daqian was already quite weak.
The Wang family and the Historian family, following Jia Rong's footsteps, also established their own vassal states in the outer sea.
Faced with a backbone like Jia Rong, Wang Ziteng and Shi Jia Shuanghou simply did not have the courage to seize the leadership of the four major families.
Wang Ziteng's highest achievement was the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but unfortunately he failed to successfully enter the cabinet!
Fortunately, he was mentally prepared, and he didn't feel dissatisfied or unwilling.
When he was sixty years old and became an official, he went to sea and never came back.
If you can't be a phoenix in Daqian, then you can become a boss in a vassal state outside the sea.
Among the Shuanghous of the Shi family, Zhongjinghou made the same choice as Wang Ziteng, while Baolinghou was more conservative and continued to be his powerful man in Daqian.
It is a personal choice and outsiders are not qualified to judge.
Anyway, with the support of the vassal country, unless it is involved in a heinous disaster, the wealth of the Baolinghou Mansion can be maintained for at least fifty years.
Fifty years later, it was basically the third generation of the family. At that time, the relationship between relatives had become very indifferent, and it was simply impossible to help each other.
After all, the Xue family lacked the courage to burn the boat, and Xue Pan successfully entered the Internal Affairs Bureau system, and became a fifth-rank official in the Internal Affairs Bureau, which is quite good.
As for Uncle Xue, he is more capable and finally reached the position of fourth-grade prefect, which is quite good.
The Xue family successfully entered the official class and did not lose their royal merchant position. Instead, they were taken over by a member of the Yifang clan who took the initiative to join them.
However, Xue Pan finally married Zhen Yinglian, which surprised many relatives and friends.
Zhen Yinglian's fate was quite rough. She was abducted at a young age and later became Xue Pan's maid.
Later, his mother came to visit her, and Xue Pan had to send her away, but she still remembered her.
At that time, Zhen Yinglian, as Xue Baochai's maid, had received several years of training at Ningfu Women's School. In addition, she was extremely talented and had outstanding literary talents. She could not be called a talented woman.
Xue Pan had been a minor official for several years, and he liked this style.
As soon as Zhen Yinglian left, she felt a little depressed. Later, she found out where the other party was staying and kept urging her mother, Aunt Xue, to come to propose marriage.
Aunt Xue was naturally reluctant at first, but she couldn't stand Xue Pan's insistence on going her own way, so she had no choice but to compromise.
Fortunately, Zhen Yinglian also resumed her identity as the daughter of a squire at this time. As long as her previous experience of being abducted and trafficked was not publicized everywhere, she would be a good match for Xue Pan at this time.
Zhen Yinglian's years in women's school were not in vain. Her talent in literature attracted even Lin Daiyu's attention, and she made many friends.
Just this network of people is not someone Xue Pan is willing to offend easily.
As for the Osmanthus Xia family, they are willing to marry the Xue family.
Of course, it is not Xue Pan who already has an official status, but a member of the family who has taken over the status of Huangshang. However, the requirements are rather harsh, and the children of the Xue family are required to step in.
As for Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin, both brothers and sisters lived well as adults and married into families with similar family backgrounds.
Those who appeared in The Story of the Red Chamber, such as Mrs.
Of course, they still came in the name of seeking refuge with their relatives. As for Miaoyu, the situation was almost the same as in the original work.
The situation in Rong Mansion is different, so naturally the experiences of these girls are also different.
The life of Mrs. Xing's niece is much easier than in the original version of Red Mansions. Under the leadership of Lian Er, the big house is not short of money, and Mrs. Xing's pension is also guaranteed, so she will naturally not be too stingy when treating her niece.
However, she did not marry Xue Biao, but found a Jia family member who had passed the imperial examination and became an official, which was quite good.
As for Li Wan's two cousins, they were taken good care of by Li Wan.
Jia Zhu is not dead, and Li Wan is the next wife of the second wife of the Rong Mansion. It is easy for the two cousins who have defected to live a comfortable life.
Finally, she personally acted as a matchmaker for two cousins, who were students of the Jia clan academy and had passed the imperial examination.
With Rongfu as their backing, their married lives are quite good.
As for Miaoyu, she still looked high on Jia Baoyu, but that was all.
With his arrogance, even if he fell in love with Jia Baoyu, he would not be humble and petty.
Later, she used the relationship with the Rong Mansion to travel around the major vassal states outside the sea, and when she was eighteen years old, she returned to secular life and got married.
Her identity is indeed sensitive, but in the overseas vassal countries, there are not so many taboos and particularities.
So what if the deposed prince is implicated?
The vassal country outside the sea didn't care that they planned to marry her, so Daqian naturally wouldn't intervene rashly.
Then there are the two cousins, Jia Huan and Jia Cong, one of whom took the literary path and passed the imperial examination to enter the official career.
Unfortunately, neither his aunt, Mrs. Wang, nor his elder brother, Jia Zhu, and his wife supported his advancement in the officialdom.
In the end, Jia Huan regretfully stopped serving as a fourth-rank official.
He didn't care, but after leaving Rong Mansion as an adult, he rarely came back.
Jia Cong's situation was better. He and Lian Er were not on the same path. Most of Dafang's connections and resources in the army were given to Jia Cong.
Coupled with the constant weather during the Little Ice Age, the border fortresses were naturally at war.
With his solid military exploits, Jia Cong finally reached the position of commander-in-chief, and could be said to be a big boss in the army.
As for Dafang, his power in the army has risen instead of falling!
Let’s talk about the outstanding maids in Rong Mansion. Jin Yuanyang was not coveted by the eldest man. After the old lady died, she returned home directly and finally married a landlord outside the city.
Ping'er became Lian Er's first wife, and eventually gave birth to a son and a daughter, who revolved around Lian Er and Wang Xifeng all their lives.
The maids around Li Wan, the maids around Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, and the eldest maids in Rongqing Hall where the old lady lived, followed the old way of having children at home.
Either she became the general roommate, or she became the housekeeper's wife.
On the other hand, Sanchun, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baochai, and the maids around Lin Daiyu all jumped out of the circle of servants.
Either they follow their own lady, or they wait for her to get married and hitch a ride on overseas adventures. In short, they all become famous.
This is really amazing!
For example, playing chess, serving as a bookkeeper, and painting, all of them eventually became official wives. Although they were all official wives of vassal states, they still had a lot of say.
As for the rest of the maids, relying on the skills they learned in the girls' school, even if they marry into a wealthy family, they have the confidence and ability to establish a firm foothold.
All of them are people with extraordinary luck and endless blessings. After death, all their luck fell into the hands of Jia Rong, who lived in the Taixu Illusion Realm and was functioning normally, helping him to continue to deeply control the power of the world. It was so cool...
