As the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son.
But when we arrived at the Jia Mansion, everything was reversed.
Jia Zhang paid great attention to her eldest son Jia Daihua.
Let's not mention that Gouzi's cheap old man died. He also changed his surname and adopted a stepfather.
It is said that when Gouzi was a child, he suffered a lot. He was hungry and satiated every meal, and the seven or eight-year-old child was like a little monkey.
As for my daughter and my youngest son, they have been soaking in a honey pot since they were young. They have no worries about food and drink and have everything they want. Compared with this, the dog is really miserable.
Besides, looking at Jia Yan's condition, the title will probably be passed on to the younger son, and the eldest son can at least share some money. If she doesn't love her more, I'm afraid she won't even be able to think about it.
"Why did I delay Gouzi?"
Jia Yan's voice rose sharply, he patted the table and said with a strong voice: "This is what my colleagues in Liaodong are like. They are different from me. This time I am designated to be promoted to earl. I am sure of it."
"I have two sons who are also brave and good at fighting in the army. Maybe they can earn another title, a double title!"
"Oh?" Mrs. Jia Zhang was stunned and felt that this marriage was indeed a good one.
"Which family's daughter is this?"
"Rao Yangzi, the historian, has recorded great achievements in northern Liaoning. He will be promoted to earl in a few days, and his name will have to be changed again!"
With that said, Jia Yan picked up the tea and drank it.
Mrs. Jia Zhang felt happy.
If there is really a historian who serves as the Yue family, it will be a great help to Gouzi. Coupled with the Jia family's power in the army, it can be said that he is like a fish in water in the army.
For a time, the whole hall was filled with joy.
Jia Daihua was stunned: Am I getting married?
Perhaps because he was so happy, Jia Zhang agreed to take a concubine to Jia Yan, which made the latter overjoyed.
Staying in the backyard, Jia Yan was really afraid of her.
The next day, Shi Jinbao and his two sons came to visit.
"Brother Jia, I saw you were tired yesterday and had a rest all night. Why are you still the same today?"
Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.
Jia Yan greeted him in front of the living room and burst into laughter. He was startled and couldn't help but said: "Shi Jinbao, you kid didn't even see my face, why are you talking nonsense?"
"Okay, my wife is here too."
Shi Jinbao had a rough character, so he held his hand in front of him, with two sons who were as young as calves behind him.
Behind, there are servants carrying gifts, their hands full of friendship.
After sitting down, we started discussing the marriage.
The two families were very much thinking about a marriage, and although they didn't say anything about it, it was decided to wait until the second half of the year.
Jia Yan took his two brothers-in-law and left the mansion in a hurry.
Brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding were as strong as calves. They were in their twenties and had already joined the army. They were either camp commanders or deputy camp commanders. It can be said that they were all qualified officials.
But after all, they are young and lively people.
Jia Daihua did not lie to them, and talked about the martial arts hall: "I tell you, in the martial arts hall, you can see the emperor every now and then, patting his shoulders and comforting him from time to time, not to mention how glorious it is."
"The people there, at the very least, all have to be like me, good at both civil and military skills, and capable of everything."…
He led the two brothers, Jia Daihua and three others, one person and one horse. Along the way, he boasted:
"In our place, it's like a Jinshi entering the Hanlin Academy. You have to stay for at least two or three years. As soon as you are released, you start out as team leader and deputy battalion leader."
Hearing this, his younger brother Shi Nai was stunned. He was wearing a thin shirt and his body was stretched tight: "How is it possible that as long as you come out, you can become such a big official?"
As he said that, he turned to look at his brother: "You know, we two brothers started working as private soldiers and worked hard for several years before we became camp commanders."
"You only need to read a book and have some fun to be like us?"
Shi Ding didn't believe it either. He said in a deep voice: "Brother Jia, we will all be a family from now on. Don't lie to us."
"Of course these words are not false."
Jia Daihua's face straightened, and then he said: "However, apart from being promoted to battalion commander by two levels as a team commander, a person like me who just goes there can only serve as deputy battalion commander at the highest."
"Most of them are team leaders."
"That's awesome." Shi Nai sighed: "We also suffered two years of hardship on the battlefield before we became captains!"
"We endure hardships and you enjoy blessings. We are all the same officials. How can we reason?"
Shi Nai's eyes widened and he was extremely puzzled. He looked at Jia Daihua hatefully, as if he saw him as a target.
"No wonder they."
Shi Ding sighed: "Back then, we joined the army directly, and the martial arts hall didn't recruit people. We missed it, we missed it."
"You can't say that." Jia Daihua hurriedly made up for it: "You are coming back from the battlefield. You will definitely be promoted to officers and knights, and you may even be awarded a title. I will decentralize next year, and you will definitely not be able to count on your military exploits.
…”
The Shi brothers looked at each other and smiled for the same reason.
The three of them came directly to Wanping County.
I originally wanted to go to a brothel to have fun, but who knew that the entire city of Beijing was in short supply and the upstairs and downstairs were crowded with people. I heard that several girls fainted from spitting.
It's no wonder that a group of animals have been stuck in Liaodong for two years and endured so hard that they naturally have to come out and digest it.
No matter how good your home is, it won’t be as fragrant as outside.
"Let's go and show you something new and exciting."
Hiding his disappointment, Jia Daihua directly led the two of them to a place.
It is also Wanping County, but this place is more special.
On the originally wide road, two iron objects appeared in front of them, two miles long, and hundreds of soldiers were patrolling and protecting them. It was very rare.
There were many blacksmiths on both sides, banging nails, as if trying to fix them to the ground.
"What is this?" Shi Nai was really stunned: "I have only left Beijing for two years, why did this thing appear?"
"This is estimated to be tens of thousands of kilograms of iron, just wasted like this?"
Shi Ding kept his composure. Anyway, having his younger brother come to drown the troubled waters would only cost him his face.
"This thing is called a tram."
Jia Daihua pointed to the carriage parked aside and said, "Look at that carriage's pulley. It's specially made to look like that, so it can walk directly on the railway track."
"Originally, the carriage could only pull three to five hundred kilograms. Now with this rail, it will not only be faster, but it can also pull a thousand kilograms."
"Then why do these carriages look so strange?"
Shi Dingwen asked about the unusually long carriage.
Three pairs of wheels, twelve seats, and windows on all sides.
"Yes, this thing is used to carry people."
Jia Daihua shook his head and said: "To be honest, the imperial court has already built a track at Yuquan Mountain, which is about thirty miles long."
"Now I'm thinking of building a passenger transport line in the city."
