Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Han and said, "Let me see, Brother Jing is probably not good at this, but the good ones are heavier! To be honest, even if the color is a bit different, he won't be able to catch his eye!"
Xue Jiong originally thought that Mrs. Xue was talking nonsense, which was totally not the case. Jia Jing was a serious person, but the more Mrs. Xue analyzed it for him, the more Xue Jiong listened to it, the more he felt that this was what happened!
I also felt a little gurgling in my heart...
He couldn't help but said to Mrs. Xue, "But... Qin'er has already decided to get married. How many years has it been...? We can't just say that Brother Jing is better, just like the Mei family."
If we break the marriage, what will happen to us? What will happen to Qin'er?"
Xue Biao is honest and honest by nature and has no scheming. It is what Xue Kang teaches by words and deeds. The most important thing in doing business is integrity. The Mei family is considered an aristocratic family in Shenjing. However, the family is not well-off and belongs to the kind of people with a good reputation.
The kind with no money.
When Xue Wei was young, he and his brother, Xue Pan's father, went to Beijing for business and met the Mei family. They were under the care of the Mei family.
Yes, so they arranged a baby marriage with the Mei family. The Mei family liked the wealth of the Xue family, so they agreed, and this was how Xue Baoqin's marriage happened.
You can't deny what you have agreed upon a long time ago now that your Xue family has climbed onto the high branches of the Jia family?
Xue Yi felt that he could not afford to lose this person, and he would not allow the Xue family to lose this person!
When Mrs. Xue heard this, she sighed and said, "I'm afraid...that's not what I meant. How can our family still be greedy for the position of Mrs. Hou? I heard that even though she is just a super-grade Hou,
Madam, but Brother Jing has been loved by the palace since he was a child, and he wishes he could be treated as his own son and nephew. Why don't you think that he is now wearing a python?"
Mrs. Xue approached Xue Han and said softly, "I heard that based on Brother Jing's divine favor, if she were to be his real wife, even though she is just a Madam Hou, she would definitely be more decent than the princess!"
Xue Bin became more and more confused as he listened. He couldn't help but look at Mrs. Xue and said, "Madam, what do you mean?" Mrs. Xue patted Xue Bin and whispered anxiously, "Do you think, with our background, Qin'er can be a good candidate?"
Madam Ninghou?"
Xue Wei was silent. The Xue family has always been at the bottom of the four major families. Although it looks glamorous to outsiders, the family knows its own suffering. Even if it is said to be an imperial businessman, isn't it still a businessman in the end?
You have a noble family background, you are a marquis who has made many military exploits, and you have a popular holy book. You are married to a businessman's daughter as your main wife? Or is it the daughter of the second wife of the Xue family? Xue Kang himself thinks it is impossible!
Therefore, Xue Wei frowned slightly and looked at Madam Xue and said, "So Madam, what you mean is that Brother Jing did this to ask Qin'er to be..." a concubine?
Mrs. Xue sighed, nodded slowly and said, "I'm just afraid, Brother Jing really thinks so!" Xue Yi hesitated and said, "No, I won't..."
Mrs. Xue said softly, "No? Otherwise, why would people be so nice to us for no reason? What use can we have to others? They are arranging doctors and scorpions with such care, isn't it just to make us more willing?
Son, are you afraid that you will disgrace us?"

Xue Han's brows furrowed tightly. He was still a relative after all. If it was unjustifiable to force him to be a concubine, how could he use this method of kindness to ask them to take the initiative to send their daughter to their home?
"No! Can't!"
Xue Wei turned around with his arms folded in a slightly irritable manner. Mrs. Xue stepped forward helplessly and put her hand on Xue Wei's shoulder. "But, we owe so much to others, how can we repay them?"
Xue Yi snorted, squinting his neck and turned around and said, "He can do anything he wants, so what if I give him my life back? He just wants Qin'er to marry him as his concubine... No! I'm fine with that."
How can a daughter be a concubine? No! Absolutely not!"
What is that concubine? If it is better, it can gain some respect in the family, and it can be regarded as half a master. If it is not good, it is equivalent to a plaything! Just throw it away after use!
Otherwise, why should the law at this time specifically state that the rights of husband and wife are the same? The wife cannot beat her husband, and the husband cannot beat his wife. Only when the husband beats his concubine, it becomes as long as he does not beat him.
If you are permanently disabled or beaten to death, the government will not care about you?
Because the concubine itself can no longer be regarded as a plaything with complete human rights in this era! Many movies and TV dramas describe the revenge drama of the inspirational concubine, who kills all his enemies, finally succeeds in taking power, achieves a career, and even finally dominates
The whole family's house fight, just watch it...
That’s not to say there’s no possibility, but the possibility is extremely slim, even more incredible than being invited to become an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences after graduating from elementary school... Most concubines in this era lived like Aunt Zhao, living under the trouble of the elders.
Even the actress raised in the family didn't take her seriously and beat her whenever she asked...
Those who come from a wealthy family background or have a better temperament may be able to live a peaceful life. If someone like Wang Xifeng is like that, he will die without knowing how he died...
So how could Xue Yi give his precious daughter to Jia Jing as a concubine? Just because of Jia Jing's life-saving grace, and because of Xue Biao's future? He would have to exchange his daughter's life's happiness for it?
Xue Han couldn't do it! He frowned tightly and was angry with himself. If he had the ability, his daughter would not be humiliated like this and considered unworthy of others!
Mrs. Xue sighed helplessly and said, "Did I tell you not to go?"

Xue Wei had a sullen face, and after a long time he said in a low voice, "You can do whatever you want me to do, except send my daughter away!" Mrs.
………
"elder brother!"
Xue Biao, who was instructing the housekeeper of the Xue family to help him pack his things, turned around and saw Xue Baoqin looking at him with a smile on his head. Xue Biao couldn't help but smiled and stepped forward and said, "What's wrong?"
Bao Qin looked at the large boxes and small bags behind Xue Biao with a smile, and couldn't help but tentatively said, "Brother, are you bringing so many things?"
Xue Biao scratched his head in confusion, looked back, and then nodded and said, "Yes, we have to go to Guangzhou. The road is so long. I will probably stay there for a while, and I will definitely have to bring a lot of things..."
…Besides, I remember it’s still very hot in Guangdong, so I have to ask them to pack some light clothes…”
Xue Biao said and got ready to go to work again. Xue Baoqin hurriedly grabbed Xue Biao and said with a smile, "Brother, don't be anxious yet. Come here, I have something to tell you!"
Xue Biao was stopped by Bao Qin, and couldn't help being stunned. Then he looked at Bao Qin and said, "What's wrong?" Bao Qin laughed twice, then bit the corners of his lips gently, and then said slightly embarrassed, "Take it too."
Come on me..."
Xue Biao didn't understand what it meant for a while, so he looked at Baoqin with some confusion and said, "What?" Baoqin lowered his head and whispered, "I want to go with you too..."
Xue Biao looked at Bao Qin in shock and said, "You mean, you want to go to Guangzhou with me?" Bao Qin nodded sheepishly, and then came forward to flatter him and said, "You are here, Qiuqiu! Brother is the best,
You will definitely take me there, right..."
"impossible!"
Bao Qin's smile suddenly froze on his face, and Xue Biao sighed helplessly and said, "You are not young anymore. You are now a big girl who is about to get married. Why do you still think about messing around all day long?"
Bao Qin's smile slowly wrinkled, and she looked at Xue Biao with her little mouth pouted. Xue Biao said helplessly, "Even if you look at me like this, I won't take you there!"
Xue Biao loved Bao Qin very much, but that didn't mean he would agree to all the unreasonable troubles Bao Qin made. He looked at Bao Qin and said seriously, "Brother is not going to Guangzhou to enjoy the mountains and rivers. He has serious things to do! Get busy then.
Where can I take care of you?"
Bao Qin snorted softly and said, "It's not like I've never gone out by myself. I don't need you to take care of me!" Xue Biao heard this and said loudly and seriously, "That's even worse!"
Bao Qin was startled when Xue Biao roared like this for the first time. She stared innocently at Xue Biao, pouting her little mouth and feeling extremely aggrieved...
Seeing Bao Qin like this, how could Xue Biao have the heart to lose his temper with her? Good looks have this advantage. When Su Daji was caught by Jiang Ziya, she almost beheaded because she was so beautiful.
No one wanted to kill her, but in the end Jiang Ziya was so angry that he "turned around" and killed Su Daji himself with Taoist Lu Ya's precious gourd!
If Su Daji were replaced by Zhu Bajie, look at it...The executioner would definitely not feel any distress when he raised the knife and dropped it...
So even though it was now clear that Bao Qin was messing around and Xue Biao was already angry, seeing Bao Qin's aggrieved appearance, the anger in his heart calmed down a lot.
Xue Biao smiled bitterly and said to Bao Qin, "Don't make trouble. What if something happens to you alone? Besides, you also know that you are going to get married soon. There are almost all soldiers on the ship and there is not a single woman. You
How can you be with a boatload of men?"
Bao Qin obviously knew this, so he whispered, "Then I'll hire a boat to follow you..."
Xue Biao almost laughed out of anger. He stared at Bao Qin and said, "That's to Guangzhou, not to our house on the left! You only need to walk a few steps to get there. It's a journey of thousands of miles. How about you take a boat?"
Bao Qin waved his little hands and pouted and stopped talking. Xue Biao shook his head helplessly and said, "Even without these, we can't all go out. The Chinese New Year is about to come. If you don't accompany your parents, you are preparing for it."
Do you want your parents to celebrate the New Year on their own? I’m not here, and neither are you. This is a big Chinese New Year..."
Baoqin lowered his head and waved his little hands, and both muttered, "Dad and mom can celebrate the New Year with my aunt and the others. You haven't been here in the past few years, so why don't we still celebrate the New Year..."
Xue Biao was almost heartbroken after just one sentence. He could only say resolutely, "In short, I absolutely disagree with this matter. You don't have to think about it. Just go back to sleep!"
As he spoke, Xue Biao shook his head and muttered nonsense, then asked the housekeeper to pack some decent clothes for him. Baoqin behind him pouted his little mouth and bared his teeth and claws for a long time, and then dejectedly prepared to go back.
In his room, just looking at Xue Biao's luggage cart in the distance, Baoqin suddenly raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and gently clapped his hands, "Hey!"

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is a good time to travel. This day is also a small year for northerners. Before the Southern Song Dynasty, the north was the political center and was seriously affected by politics. Officials would hold a ceremony to worship the sky on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. Therefore, it is also a small year for northerners.
The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is celebrated on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, while most southerners celebrate it on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. In other parts of the country, the twelfth lunar month is also celebrated on the 22nd, 25th and even the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.
After this day, most Chinese people begin to prepare for the New Year. They will basically stop what they are doing and start preparing for the New Year. It is also from this day that the atmosphere and taste of the New Year officially begin...
…
The twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month is also the Kitchen Festival, and the ancients paid more attention to it. It is said that the Kitchen God is an official used by the Jade Emperor to monitor the human world, and will report to heaven at this time every year.
Therefore, people will also sacrifice to the Kitchen God on this day, invite the Kitchen God to eat and drink, bribe the Kitchen God, let him get drunk and go to heaven. Don't talk about the shortcomings of the world, and don't tell the Jade Emperor about the bad things in the family. It's best to bring some when you come back.
Let me share the money with everyone... This is the so-called "God speaks good things, and returns to the palace to bring good luck".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These sacrificial activities are not common in modern times, but for the ancients, it was a very important matter. "National events are about sacrifice and military affairs." The ancients attached great importance to sacrificial offerings
and war, so the activity of worshiping the stove is actually very serious.
The ceremony of offering sacrifices to the stove is mostly performed in the evening, and is very complicated. Usually there is a person who leads the sacrifice. For a large family like the Jia family, the patriarch naturally leads the sacrifice, but this year it is not possible, because this day happens to be the day when Jia Jing is going to sacrifice.
The day of leaving Beijing.
The weather was fine that day. Jia Jing was worried about his own soldiers, leaving only a dozen of them to look after the family, and took the rest away. Since the patriarch was going on a long journey, there was no reason why the Jia family should not come to see him off.
Jia Jing drank the Zhuangxing wine handed over by Jia Zheng at the door and asked everyone to leave without sending them to the Changting Pavilion. Everyone was not willing to run to the pier in the ice and snow to drink from the northwest wind, so they excused themselves and agreed.
Watching Jia Jing mount his horse, he whipped his whip and shouted "Let's go!" More than a hundred riders unfurled the Jia family's Bailin flag and headed towards the dock!
At this time, Daiyu had also woken up a long time ago. She was sitting at the desk, holding a pen and not knowing what she was writing. Her eyes were full of tears. Suddenly, she heard the rumble of horse hoofs beside her ears, but it seemed to gradually fade away...
Daiyu was stunned for a while, then she seemed to have thought of something, and stood up abruptly. This almost scared Zijuan Xiren who was standing by. The two looked at each other, and Zijuan stepped forward and said softly, "Miss
What's wrong?"
Daiyu trembled her lips, waved her hands anxiously, and then hurriedly ran to the door, holding on to the door frame, but suddenly stopped walking, looking longingly in the direction of Ningguo Mansion in the distance, frowning slightly, this
Then she choked softly and said, "Zijuan, listen..."
Zijuan was stunned for a moment, then listened with bated breath, and then she understood. She couldn't help but look at Daiyu with distress, took Daiyu's clothes from the shelf, stepped forward and gently put them on Daiyu's shoulders, saying softly
He said, "Girl, the Marquis is gone..."
Daiyu said nothing, still staring blankly in the direction of Ningguo Mansion. She slowly closed her eyes for a long time, two crystal tears rolled down her face, and said in a choked and trembling tone, "Yes, he is gone..."
Xiren couldn't bear to see Daiyu like this, so he stepped forward to persuade them, "Girl, it's still too late to ask them to hitch the carriage. The Marquis is not going to leave right away, why should he stay on the pier for a while? The girl wants to see the Marquis.
If you go now, you can still see it!"
Daiyu lowered her head and cried, shaking her head without saying a word. She just kept repeating "He's gone, he's gone..."
Zijuan and Xiren looked at each other, both of them lowered their heads silently and sighed. Daiyu leaned against the door and cried alone for a moment, then slowly sat back on the table, but she still couldn't stop crying.
.
Zijuan looked distressed and anxious for a moment, so she stepped forward and said, "How about the two of us just pierced the window paper and made it clear, instead of being alone like this now, wouldn't it..."
Before Zijuan finished speaking, Daiyu was already crying and holding her forehead and said, "Stop talking!" She is a woman, so why doesn't she have a face? She has already tolerated him in everything, and now she still has to
Take the initiative to deliver it to your door?
She is also a girl from a good family, and she also knows etiquette, justice and shame! She took the initiative to send it to her door. Even if Jia Jing wanted to accept it, she would not be ashamed to live!
Therefore, he interrupted Zijuan and waved his hand, "You all go out! Let me be alone..." Zijuan wanted to say everything else, but Xiren saw that Daiyu was in a complicated mood and hurriedly came up
He pulled Zijuan forward and shook his head slightly. Seeing this, Zijuan glanced at Daiyu worriedly, sighed helplessly, and went out.
Xiren glanced at Daiyu, then quietly went out and closed the door. Daiyu was tired of crying, so she sat sideways and leaned against the window, looking at the depressing scene outside the window, even the bamboos were much darker.
Daiyu couldn't help but feel sad again as she looked at it, so she took the inkstone by herself, picked up the pen and cried on the paper and wrote "When the flowers fade, the flowers fly all over the sky, and when the red fades and the fragrance fades, who can pity her..."
Jia Jing stood in Class A on the second floor. This ship was a ship he built a long time ago. It is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people living on the ship. It adopts a longitudinal sail layout and a hard sail structure, making it large and fast.
It is also stable, with more than a hundred cabins enough for each crew member to be wealthy, and the stern is three stories high, which is comparable to many embroidered ships in Jiangnan!
This ship came from Jinling Shipyard and was built entirely according to the standards of sea ships. Sea ships and river ships are very different in structure, materials, and manufacturing processes. Therefore, river ships can travel on inland rivers, but sea ships can
Sailing on inland rivers and seas.
Jia Jing put a lot of effort into this ship, because this ship is not only a tool for Jia Jing to escape when things change, but it is also the Aurora he prepared for himself!
Don't look at the fact that it doesn't have artillery installed now, that's just because it's too eye-catching, and Jia Jing doesn't like those red cannons. As long as he secretly built the cannon, the ship would have already prepared the muzzle.
!You can transform from a simple ship into a powerful warship at any time!
Regardless of the structure or materials of this ship, Jia Jing has all made it according to the standards of a warship! Jia Jing can confidently say that in this era when iron-clad ships have not yet appeared, the Yulin under his feet is this
The most powerful and top-notch battleship in the world! No one else!
So stepping on it, even Jia Jing herself felt a faint sense of peace of mind. Looking at the Jade Lin flag sounding fiercely in the cold wind of winter, Jia Jing suddenly felt a sense of pride and ambition.
!
After all, which boy didn’t dream of becoming the Pirate King when he was young? A man’s greatest desire to conquer is the mysterious bright stars and the boundless sea!
Standing on this giant beast, Jia Jing felt as if she was standing on the sea in the next second, breaking the waves, crushing all enemies, and giving them a head-on blow in their frightened eyes!
The originally chaotic mood gradually dissipated because of this strong desire for control and the desire for power over life and death, and turned into a desire that is more addictive than Xingyu! This made Jia Jing's adrenaline surge. This is it.
Such an intoxicating feeling! It’s unforgettable for him!
He stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at the crowd on the deck. They were hurriedly carrying luggage, weapons, food and other things to the ship.
Proceeding in an orderly manner.
"Luo Gang! Report to the Marquis!"
Weng Xiuming roared and stood under the boat and raised his hands to Jia Jing. Hundreds of men behind him shouted at the same time, "The Luo Gang is coming to report to the Marquis!"
The corners of Jia Jing's mouth curved slightly, his sailors had arrived...
He waved his hand casually, "Get on the ship and head to your posts immediately!"
"yes!"
Everyone in the Luo Gang is a good player, and this was the first time they saw such a behemoth, so they all rushed onto the Yulin with great excitement, and under the command of Hu Ruisong, they each arrived at the place where they should be.
Pan Ding, who was watching all this from a distance, couldn't help but frowned. Luo Gang, are you leaning on Jia Jing? But Pan Ding didn't think much about it. Unless they lean on the emperor, this dock will always be named Pan!
After Weng Xiuming, Xue Qingfeng and others completed their tasks at hand, they all gathered below the deck. Bai Xijun stood behind Jia Jing, looking at Jia Jing's back, folding her arms and saying nothing.
A member of the Luo Gang trotted over and whispered a few words to Weng Xiuming. Weng Xiuming nodded, then raised his head and clasped his fists at Jia Jing and said, "Master Hou! Everything is ready! We can set off at any time!"
Jia Jing heard this and glanced at everyone on the boat. They all looked at him with their heads held high, waiting for his orders. He is their leader, and he dominates everything here! They all have to listen to themselves!
Jia Jing raised her head and looked at the shore and the green mountains in the distance. In the near future, everyone here and this picturesque country will have only one voice! They will all be dominated by one person! That is me.
!
Jia Jing narrowed her eyes slightly and said softly
