Jia Huan persuaded the King of Lu to decide on the immigration policy, so he naturally had to stay and help. Fortunately, Ping'an Prefecture had experienced all these things, and he was familiar with the roads and persuaded the poor people to go to Nanyang. He added: "If Nanyang is too far, go to Guangdong and Guangxi.
That's right. Many people over there have gone to Nanyang, and a lot of land has become vacant. There are also many factories recruiting workers. The rent for farming is low, and factories can always learn skills." Although Guangdong and Guangxi are far away, they are not foreign countries. After a few days, it seems that
More people want to go to Guangdong and Guangxi. Jia Huan also said with a smile, "If there is a better opportunity in Lu country in the future, you are welcome to come back." Princess Jian'an sometimes dressed up as a man to help. After hearing this, she smiled. All the officials persuaded her.
These days, some people can be persuaded to leave; because it is almost the end of the year, and some people are planning to return to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year first, and then go south after the New Year.
That day, Jia Huan and his wife came back from outside. When they entered the courtyard, they were greeted by a rude-looking maid. The princess's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhu, smiled forcefully and said, "This is the new spring flower given by the concubine."
The two of them frowned at the same time, and then they saw that this maid looked very good. What does it mean for Concubine Ning to give a beautiful girl to her married daughter?
Jia Huan thought for a moment and said, "Does my mother-in-law have any misunderstanding about me?"
Princess Jian'an smiled bitterly and said: "She doesn't listen to what I say, she only listens to that family."
Mrs. Zhu hurriedly whispered to the side: "Princess, consort, I wanted to stop you, but I couldn't."
Jia Huan gave her a funny look: "You always stop me?"
Zhu was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Even though I am blind, I can see clearly these days."
Princess Jian'an said: "Just give it away, it's my mother's sincere wish." Then she said to Chunhua, "I'll send you to the capital later, and I'll sell you a contract to give you some dowry. Go find a man to marry yourself."
.”
Chunhua's face changed. Zhu stood up and said proudly, "What are you talking about, old man? All the people given by the Empress Dowager have been sent away!" Princess Jian'an and Jia Huan both laughed and walked into the house hand in hand.
.
As soon as he walked in, Jia Huan suppressed a smile and said, "This Zeng family is really annoying. I know how annoying my brother-in-law is these days. Do you want to deal with them?"
Princess Jian'an said: "How are you going to deal with the consort?"
Jia Huan said honestly: "I haven't started to think about it yet."
Princess Jian'an smiled, thought for a while and said: "Their family relies on their daughters. Needless to say, my mother and concubine; the eldest cousin married the son of Du Dequ, the pacifier of Luzhou——" She sighed, "That man
The eldest cousin had a bad temper and ugly appearance, and her life was difficult. The second cousin became a Taoist nun, but she was the only one to escape. The third cousin married a wealthy businessman in Luzhou, and she looked good, but she didn't know what was going on. The fourth cousin married last year
I worked with the prefect of Luzhou to fill houses."
"Ah? The prefect of Luzhou is already that old."
Princess Jian'an hummed: "One martial artist and one merchant, only one penny is missing."
Jia Huan thought: "Looking at it this way, except for the third child, who is doing okay, the rest are unlucky."
"That's right." Princess Jian'an said, "It's just that my cousins can all endure it. No matter how hard life is, they are willing to win over their husband's family for their mother's family." She shook her head and sighed, "Just like my mother-in-law."
Jia Huan was thinking about something else at the moment. The beautiful maid just looked a bit like Lin Luan sent by the Empress Dowager, and he then thought of Lin Luan's female companion Liu Yunxi. This woman had also hooked up with Rong in the beginning.
A man from the government later let Shi Li take over and become a spy. Shi Li once said in his early years that it is difficult but easy to raise a male spy, but it is easy but difficult to raise a female spy. Ordinary female spies are mostly ordinary-looking women or mothers-in-law, hidden in the crowd.
No one inside took a second look; it was difficult to find a good-looking female spy in a group of people because of her eye-catching appearance. But if you could get one, it would be of great use.
In fact, several daughters of the Zeng family are also female spies, and they are the kind of "it is rare to find one among a group of educated people". The Zeng family has spent a lot of money on them; but they are all real ladies of the Zeng family, and it is inevitable that they have some feelings in their hearts.
A bit unwilling - why is it that a girl from another family has such a good life, but she is clearly of a good background and is sold as a fan by her own father and grandfather? If she is abducted with a little instigation and sent to Beijing to be educated by Shi Li, it is said that she will not be able to give it.
He could add some useful manpower; he could also cut down on the salary and make the Zeng family lose some alliances, so that it would be easier for Zhong Heng to work in Luzhou in the future.
Thinking of this, he asked Princess Jian'an: "Can we kidnap your cousins?" Jian'an was stunned. Jia Huan smiled and said, "Letter from Beijing. Do you remember that Liu Yunxi?"
"Remember."
"Later she figured it out and was honest. Cong'er helped her and made up a good identity for her to marry into a good family." Jia Huan said, "The girls from the Zeng family are all good-looking and well-educated. If they go to Beijing,
It must not be difficult to get married - even if you are married, it doesn't matter. Just change your name and identity and say you are a widow. It is better than an ugly husband or an old man who guards the green lantern and ancient Buddha."
Princess Jian'an immediately thought: without her eldest cousin and four cousins, the Zeng family would lose two strong supports, and the younger brother would naturally be much more relaxed. She thought for a long time and said: "It's just that if they lose their identity, they will not have the support of their natal family."
Jia Huan chuckled and said, "Do they have the support of their mother-in-law now? To put it bluntly, a few dowries are like money for a wedding."
Princess Jian'an smiled bitterly and said: "That's not bad." She thought that it would be easy to kidnap the second child, and she didn't really want to become a monk;
To a widower in his forties? The eldest daughter already had a son and a daughter, but her husband’s family was a military commander. If she were kidnapped, an arm of the Zeng family would be broken. He said, "It would have been better if it had been a few years earlier. My eldest cousin was worried at first."
She is not dead yet, so she can use her own methods to prevent pregnancy."
Jia Huan said: "It doesn't matter if the child is small. A very young child has no relationship with his father." Princess Jian'an's eyes flashed - it would be better if the eldest son and daughter could be kidnapped together. The Du family must break off relations with the Zeng family.
But at this moment, someone came in from outside and said, "Miss Zeng Wu wants to see the princess." Jia Huan laughed, winked at his wife, picked up her feet and hid inside. Princess Jian'an sat upright and ordered someone
Let Miss Zeng Wu come in. The two cousins talked for most of an hour, and Miss Zeng Wu left with her thoughts on her mind.
Counting the days, they couldn't make it back to Beijing for the New Year, so they decided to spend the New Year in Luzhou. Concubine Ning was extremely happy. Although Princess Jian'an had lived in Luzhou for so many years, she rarely left the Luwang Mansion. Anyway, her natal family
The powerful husband's family had money, so she disguised herself as a man and wandered around. Taking advantage of the early snow, she ordered King Jia Huanlu to accompany her, and Zhong Heng led the escort to climb Mount Huangshan. On the mountain, she became very popular in poetry.
He wrote many poems. After he came down from the mountain, King Lu ordered his people to publish them into a book and spread them to future generations.
A few days later, Miss Zeng Wu sent a message, saying that Miss Zeng Er, who had a true Daoist name, had replied and asked Princess Jian'an to send her to the capital. Princess Jian'an lowered her eyebrows and smiled. Jia Huan did not ask about the matter.
Hearing this, he asked: "How many have you got?"
Princess Jian'an said: "Good morning, we only have these two. My second cousin has always been proud of her poetry talent. She must be unconvinced when she sees my poetry album." Jia Huan looked at the sky and thought to himself, it is true that these literati, both men and women, have great talents but have not found them. "
Fortunately, the second cousin is the best at coaxing people. I didn’t hide the truth from the fifth cousin and told her that I helped my brothers escape from the sea of misery in order to reduce the control of the Zeng family. Those three who are already married can sell some of their dowries.
To raise money, she and her second cousin don’t have any dowry. I can give them some, just to see how many of the three they can kidnap."
Jia Huan smiled and high-fived: "That's right. This is called piece rate wages in the south."
Miss Zeng Er is really a talkative girl. But within seven or eight days, Miss Zeng Wu came again and said she was the eldest sister. The fourth sister asked Jia Huan to help sell the dowry. Princess Jian'an said: "This is easy, let them make a list
Come." Miss Zeng Wu actually took out two orders from her arms. Princess Jian'an did not look at it, but ordered, "Give Zhen'er to the consort and let him dispose of it according to the market price." The maid took the orders.
Princess Jian'an said with a smile, "Tell your second cousin that if she is willing to sell her literature when she gets to the capital, there is a fairy named Huancui in Lingnan who can serve as an example."
Miss Zeng Wu hurriedly asked: "But that fairy girl of Cicui who wrote 'Thousands of birds vibrate in the forest, and ape crows in the valley'?" Princess Jian'an nodded slightly. Miss Zeng Wu said, "My second sister will buy her poems every time they come out."
Look, I just often lament that my own is not inferior to hers."
Princess Jian'an said: "Xiangu Cuicui loves tea, but she has little income as a monk. Selling poems and buying tea is also a good story." Miss Zeng Wu was not bad herself, so she was very excited.
Later, Jia Huan heard about it and hurriedly released a dove to the capital with a poem by Taoist Sister Xinzhen. When Shi Li saw it, he was overjoyed: "This girl is of great use!" When Jia Cong saw it, he also said: "That's all, she is so much.
There’s nothing wrong with a business deal.”
Seeing that she was young, Aunt Zeng still had no intention of running away from home. Princess Jian'an said: "That's fine. Her husband's family is just a businessman, and my brother is not short of money."
Jia Huan said: "If her husband's family treats her very well, it's normal that she doesn't want to leave."
Princess Jian'an hummed: "It's just to rely on her status to make some profits in business."
Jia Huan said: "That's not bad. But if the Zeng family lacks the eldest son, the fourth son's husband's family will become more powerful, and the third son's husband's family will be a drag on the Zeng family - those who do big business are afraid that they will not have any handle?
King Lu just needs to do things according to the law."
At the end of the new year, Jia Huan and the others were going south to Lingnan to visit Wang Ziteng. Before leaving, the princess's mother-in-law, Zhu, went to see the man named Chunhua: "Since you are a local, just stay in Luzhou. Princess, don't you?"
Prepare to bring so many people." He returned her body deed and said, "This is twenty taels of silver. Since the princess has promised to give you a dowry, she will not coax you."
Chunhua smiled bitterly and said, "I don't even know your sisters yet."
Zhu said: "I don't know the one given by the Empress Dowager. She is the granddaughter of a fourth-rank official in the capital."
Chunhua was silent for a long time and said unwillingly: "You don't even want to keep the concubine's people?"
Zhu asked: "Which one is older, the concubine or the empress dowager?" Chunhua lowered her head. These days, she was as if she was in jail. Her actions were watched by Princess Jian'an's people, she could not leave the yard, and she could not send any news.
Go. Zhu used his strength to stop Chunhua for a few words, felt comfortable in his heart, as if he had helped their princess choke a vixen to death, and left with a smile on her lips.
The next day, Prince Lu personally sent his sister and brother-in-law five miles out of the city. When he wanted to send them off again, Princess Jian'an sent them back.
Three days later, four of the five daughters of the Zeng family disappeared out of thin air. The two children that Aunt Zeng gave birth to for the Du family also disappeared. The dowries of the two married ones had already been sold. Luzhou suddenly became a mess. King Lu
Suddenly he remembered what his sister had said to him the night before she left: "Most of the men in the Zeng family are useless, they just sell their daughters to win over others. Tomorrow, we have to cut off their path." Suddenly he burst out laughing, while
Pretending to send someone to help find him.
When Jia Huan and his wife left that day, Chunhua quietly hid her deeds and money, and waited until there was no noise outside before she got up and went out. A rough lady sent by Prince Lu's Palace had already started cleaning the yard, and no one cared about her.
. She then went straight back to Zeng's house to ask for Zeng Chun. She lowered her head and replied, "The slave is incompetent. The princess said they have to go to Lingnan. It's not cheap to take the slave with her."
Zeng Chu slapped the table and shouted: "Jealous woman! I thought she was quite sensible in the early years, but how come she has become a jealous woman after being married for less than half a year?" After scolding her for a long time, he ordered her to go down first and make plans later. Chunhua took advantage of nothing to do,
She sneaked out of the house to get the deed of sale and apply for household registration. The clerk didn't recognize her, so she just followed the rules.
At this moment, four out of five daughters of the Zeng family have disappeared, and no trace of them can be found, and it is impossible to guess why they left. On Chunhua, Mrs. Zeng came to talk and said casually: "According to my guess, this place in Luzhou City
No one else has that ability. When the princess returns to her parents' home this time, the Rongguo Mansion has brought many high-ranking escorts to protect her. They dress up in the same way as they said in the comments." Grandma Zeng made sense. In the evening
She told her husband; Mr. Zeng told his father the next day.
Zeng Tong sighed: "This happened right after they left. I also doubt them. But there is no evidence." Even if there is evidence, there is nothing we can do.
Naturally, the two sons-in-law had a falling out with the Zeng family, saying that their daughter was uneasy in the family; especially the Du family had taken away a male grandson. The Zeng family could not find a suitable way to appease them, and suddenly they remembered the spring wedding they had prepared for Jia Huan.
Hua Lai. After years of careful upbringing, she has to be put to use, right? So he planned to give her to his eldest son-in-law as his wife, and even sent her to the Du family first to show the man his love. When Master Du saw that she was really beautiful, he agreed to take her in.
Next. Chunhua is conscientiously making new clothes and tidying up her features.
The day before she was sent there, Chunhua went to kowtow to her wives and grandmothers and received some rewards. That night, she put on the clothes of a night watchman and hid her clothes.
She put on a light layer of cigarette ash and slipped away in the dead of night. She was originally a servant, and she was more familiar with the alleys in the mansion than her masters. She also knew that the man who kept watch at the west side door loved to drink. She took advantage of this man to drink wine from the wine jar.
As soon as she raised her head, she bravely tiptoed out from in front of him - the drunkard actually didn't even notice.
The next day, the Zeng family had another headache: it would be easy to send a beautiful maid over at the moment, but the son-in-law of the Du family had already met Chunhua. Not to mention that there was another person who was not as good-looking as Chunhua, and it was obvious that their family was not responsible for it.
How could he have any dignity when he couldn't even take care of his daughter? King Lu suddenly lost his shackles and his hands and feet were loose. The Zeng family lost its arrogance and never got up again.
However, the four daughters of the Zeng family left with Zhong Wei. The old man carried two children on his back and forced the four women to rush to the capital. The four women had not suffered this crime and could not help but complain. But Zhong Wei
I don’t have any pity for the beauty.(. Just love the website)
