Taking advantage of the time to chat before dinner, Jia Baoyu lined up the sisters who also gathered around Jia Lian to ask questions, and took the lead in asking:
"Second brother Lian, you said before that you beat the prince of the palace badly. How badly did you beat him?"
As a ten-year-old kid, he would be scolded mercilessly by his father just for being naughty in the palace. It was hard for Jia Baoyu to imagine that Jia Lian dared to fight outside, and the person he was beating was the heir apparent of another palace!
Jia Lian had already set his sights on the three girls in front of him. Two were tall and one was short. They were all cute girls, and they looked very pleasing to the eye. He glanced at the person sitting next to Jia Mu who did not move, but kept glancing over at them.
Daiyu, then replied to Jia Baoyu:
"It's not that bad. It's probably just that there's nothing visible on his face. As for the rest of his body, I can't see it either. He's wearing too thick clothes."
Jia Lian's words were lighthearted and joking, but the faces of Yingchun and the other three people tightened.
Tan Chun squeezed his little hands and shouted: "Second brother Lian, I never thought you could beat people~! And beat them so fiercely..."
I have only ever heard that the second brother Lian was beaten by the elder, but I have never heard that the second brother Lian can also beat someone.
Jia Lian sat on the stool and turned around to look at her and said with a smile: "Why are you nervous? I won't hit you."
Tanchun subconsciously took a step back, and then rolled his eyes at Jia Lian angrily. You still want to hit me? If you yell at me, I will cry!
Yingchun is two or three years older than Tanchun and is more sensible. She is a little worried about Jia Lian, "If you beat him so hard, will he take revenge on his brother in the future?"
"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. If he is not convinced, at worst, we can just beat him again."
When Jia Lian said this, Jia's mother who heard it from above became unhappy.
"Don't teach them bad things! You're lucky this time. You have the emperor to help you, so the palace will probably not dare to say anything.
Do you want to beat someone up again?
I'm warning you, if you don't know how to restrain yourself when you act outside in the future, and you're still so reckless, you're guaranteed to have something happen to you one day! What will you do to Feng Yatou and the two of you? They are both such grown-up people.
I don’t know how to make snacks.”
Faced with Jia Mu's advice, Jia Lian smiled and replied: "Thank you, ancestor, for reminding me. My grandson knows."
Jia Lian's attitude was so good that Jia Mu could not say anything more. After a while, Mrs. Wang came back to report and set the meal, and Jia Mu took everyone to the dining room to have dinner.
After the meal, Jia Lian saw that there was really no reason to stay, and the sisters did not dare to make any mistakes in the presence of Jia Mu. They were quiet and had no chance to joke and have fun, so he resigned.
As soon as she came out of Rongqing Hall, Qingwen, who had been peeping in the dark for who knows how long, jumped out.
"Second Master, you really want to be an official outside..."
Qingwen asked this most important question as soon as she appeared.
Jia Lian stopped and smiled back: "Yes, otherwise, I won't have any money to support you."
"Nonsense, how much money do I have per month?" Qingwen obviously refused to take the blame.
Jia Lian tugged at the pigtail on the side of her head and said, "You still think your monthly salary is small? One tael of silver a month, which can only be obtained by the highest-ranking maid in the house."
Qingwen pursed her lips, her job was not that of a maid...
Not knowing where she was thinking, Qingwen's face turned red, then she turned away and continued to ask: "But if you go to the border, won't you be able to come back for a long time?"
Qingwen is very concerned about this issue.
If she was still just a maid, but she is no longer, Jia Lian is her only support now.
She didn't want Jia Lian to leave home, and was even more worried about what might happen to Jia Lian if he went to a dangerous place.
Of course Jia Lian knew what she was thinking, and he was a little happy that Xiao Nizi cared about him so much. He suddenly knelt down, hugged her thighs as before, and hugged her upright.
Qingwen hugged Jia Lian's neck tightly in response, and then she calmed down after taking another look at the sky, which was already dark, and that she was not far from the door of her house.
Lying on Jia Lian's shoulder, Qingwen suddenly said: "Otherwise, the second master takes me and I accompany him? I can serve and take care of the second master."
When Jia Lian heard this, he raised his hand and slapped her butt, and said with a smile: "What do you think I am doing, and I am taking you with me..."
"Why not? I heard that other officials who work as officials in other places can bring their families."
Jia Lian laughed.
If he really brings such a beautiful little wife to the border, even if Wang Ziteng can tolerate him, I am afraid that the emperor will not let him off lightly if he finds out.
Although Qingwen didn't quite understand, she could tell that Jia Lian wouldn't take her out, so she was very unhappy.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Jia Lian saw that Qingwen was silent, so he patted her back, put her down, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's not like I won't come back if I go. You little girl, just stay at home and take care of yourself."
Wait, learn from Xiang Ling, learn more words, and when I come back, I will let you be a legitimate aunt."
Hearing this, Qingwen almost asked, "Really?"
After all, he felt embarrassed and coyly said, "Second Master smells of sweat. I'll ask them to prepare hot water and help Second Master take a bath!"
After saying that, he turned around and went to the corridor.
…
In the evening, Wang Xifeng lay on the couch, feeling resentful that Jia Lian refused to listen to her advice and insisted on going to the border.
Jia Lian smiled and comforted her for a few words, then hugged her in his arms, "Well, it's not my decision to make this matter. Think about it, does the decree given by His Majesty the Emperor himself give me room to bargain?
Besides, haven't you always wanted to get the title of 'Gaoming'? Now I am already a school captain. As long as your uncle and I perform well on patrol this time, we might be able to obtain an official position of fifth rank or above.
Wouldn’t that make me qualified to ask for a royal title for you?”
When Wang Xifeng heard this, she looked stunned.
The canonization of Mrs. Gaoming in the Wei Dynasty was much easier than in the previous dynasties.
According to the system, any court official of fifth rank or above is allowed to apply for a royal title for his mother or wife.
Of course, the regulations also say that the mother must be loving and virtuous, the wife must be filial and virtuous, and able to assist her husband before she is allowed to apply for the title. In fact, this regulation is in vain. Since Taizu, all officials of the fifth rank or above who have asked for the title must be
Almost none were rejected.
As a result, the status of Mrs. Gaoming was naturally inferior to that of the previous dynasty, so much so that some noble officials did not even bother to grant their wives a title.
After all, Mrs. Gaoming is just an honor in the final analysis, with a few taels of thin salary and nothing else.
But obviously, Wang Xifeng likes this thing very much...
Her pursed red lips unconsciously dropped, and her eyes were glistening, as if she was calculating gains and losses.
It's so difficult to choose between enduring her husband's absence from the capital and the rich rewards that may be brought to her.
Jia Lian couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw her acting like this. She was indeed a woman with a strong desire for power. Maybe if she were to change her gender, she would be even better at dancing than Jia Yucun, and she would thrive in the officialdom.
"The eldest lady already has a title, so naturally she doesn't need to ask me to grant her a title, so if I get promoted, I will naturally only grant it to you.
But you have to be careful. If you want to be appointed as imperial minister, you must not let anyone hold anything against your moral character. Otherwise, if I am qualified for the official position in the future, I will submit a memorial for you, but it will be knocked down by the court. At that time,
You have no place to put your face at all." Jia Lianruo reminded him with a hint of nothingness.
On this trip, I followed Wang Ziteng to patrol the border. Although the emperor only asked him to escort grain and grass, he did not necessarily ask him to stay at the border for a long time.
But Jia Lian is determined, and he won't want to come back until he has made some achievements!
As for the danger... I believe there may be danger, but to put it bluntly, as the grandson of Duke Rongguo and the nephew of the coach Prince Teng, for those who really risk their lives to fight for wealth on the battlefield, it is already
It's extremely unfair.
If he doesn't dare to give it a go and try his luck in the military under such conditions, then he is really no different from a useless person.
Therefore, he didn't know how long it would take him to go there.
I don’t know if this girl like Wang Xifeng will do anything in the capital just like in the original novel.
So give her a heads up in advance.
