Qingta Temple, the mouth of Wutiao Hutong.

Liu Laoshi's family heard the news from Jia Yun last night that Jia Qiang was going south today, and they didn't sleep well all night.

Seeing Jia Qiang come back early in the morning, Liu Laoshi changed his previous attitude of silence and asked anxiously: "How can you be good, you want to go south?" ”

Aunt Chun also felt unusual, because she knew that Jia Qiang was still planning the Taiping Guild before, why was she leaving Beijing in a blink of an eye?

In this era, especially for ordinary people, there is a habit of people leaving their hometowns and being cheap.

And dying in a foreign country is the most worrying and worrying tragedy of relatives.

Jia Qiang didn't rush to answer, but beckoned back, and then Xiangling, who was carrying two burdens, stepped in.

A shy and slightly shy face as clean as clear water, the eyes are ignorant and a little timid.

Liu Laoshi's family has been on the dock for decades, even if it is Liu Laoshi, although he is honest, it can be seen that more people have suffered a lot of losses, and he has also practiced a little eyesight, just looking at Xiangling's face, he knows that he is an honest person, so he suddenly felt close in his heart, and asked Jia Qiang with a smile: "This is ......"

Jia Qiang said softly: "Uncle, this is the person in my room, and they will follow me in the future, but they haven't had time to change the roster yet." ”

In this era, the people in the room mean that they have a room, and they are actually only a name away from the concubine's room.

The so-called name is to change the name of the yamen room.

Dayan is different from the previous dynasty, and concubines also need to be registered in the yamen household register, and concubines are also eligible to divide the family property.

But the room is not used, and the room can be given away and bought at will......

But in any case, the "people in the room" are already their own family.

Liu Laoshi, Aunt Chun, Liu Daniu and others were naturally very happy, Liu Daniu smiled and pulled Xiangling who was blushing and bowing her head, and talked about common things with Aunt Chun.

The corners of Liu Laoshi's excited eyes were moist, and he looked at Jia Qiang and said movingly: "Brother Qiang, I didn't expect to see that you are about to get married, if your mother is still ...... Let's not mention that. It's just that you have to leave Beijing and go to Southern Province? Brother Qiang, now that the family has enough money, you have a big mansion again, and you have accepted the people in the house, so live a good life......"

Jia Qiang laughed softly: "Uncle, the things we have now are all fought for." It's not that nephews like to fight, it's that in this world, if you don't fight, others won't allow you to live well. Therefore, we want to be decent, not to be bullied, not to kowtow to others, only to work hard. However, this time I went to Beijing not to fight with anyone, the old gang leader of the Jinsha Gang was about to die, and the young gang leader heard that I knew some things about Western doctors, so he asked me to accompany her to Jinmen for medical treatment. I don't want Jia's side to be on the side of the Jia family, and an aunt and grandfather are also very ill, so they also asked me to find a doctor to go to Yangzhou to rescue. So he was accompanied by Jia Lian from Rongguo Mansion. ”

Liu Laoshi was a little shocked when he heard this, firstly, he was shocked that Jia Qiang actually knew Western doctors, so he won the trust of the young gang leader of the Jinsha Gang, and secondly, he was shocked by Jia Qiang's determination to the Jia family.

Jia Lian knows that he is, and he will be the official inheritor of Rongguo Mansion in the future, and Jia Qiang should be called the second uncle of Lian.

Who would have thought that he would be called by his first name.

Originally, Liu Laoshi wanted to persuade one or two, but he knew that his nephew's idea was very right, and it would be useless to persuade him, so he only told him to be careful when he went out.

After the uncle's family was settled, Jia Qiang looked at Jia Yun and asked, "Is everything straightened out?" ”

Jia Yun took a deep breath and nodded: "The Jinsha Gang has gone through a bloodbath before, and the two elders Zhang and Hong are both veterans of the Jinsha Gang, so they can control the situation, and they also sent four gangsters to protect me in secret." and all other things were written down as thou said. Over there at the Taiping Hall, I will look for someone to do it well. Brother Qiang, you come back early. ”

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "I know...... By the way, if someone from Dongsheng gives silver, you give 20,000 taels to Brother Xue, he will be of great use. You can use the remaining 10,000 taels, and after I go to Jiangnan, I will send someone to send silver. There is another thing, the Hengsheng Wang family will send some Lehu from the Teaching Workshop Division into the Taiping Hall, you tell Aunt Sun that I won't come back, and they are not allowed to see a man, even Brother Xue and Feng Ziying. Remember? ”

Jia Yun, whose complexion changed a few times, nodded and said, "Remember." ”

Jia Qiang said "um" and said with a smile: "Don't have too much pressure, just do things well, the sky can't fall." Did the old lady take it? ”

In order to prevent some people in the Jia family from carrying out Cao Mengde's old plan to rob Xu Shu and his mother, Jia Qiang had persuaded Jia Yun before and took his mother to the Jinsha Gang.

Jia Yun smiled bitterly: "I took it, but my mother was not very happy, and she didn't want to be idle, and she helped people on Taiping Street every day." ”

Jia Qiang smiled: "It's not a bad thing to do some work, after being busy for so many years, it's easy to get tired when you are free, as long as you don't get tired." ”

After Jia Yun thanked him, he asked, "Then honest uncles, shouldn't they be careful?" ”

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "Even if the Jia family eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, they don't dare to bully them." ”

Not only the Jia family, but also the Emperor Tai Ming covered Jia Qiang, and Liu Laoshi's family is afraid that they are the safest people in the world at the moment.

"Brother Yun, I expect that only half of the Fangzi matter may go well. If the Dongsheng Zhao family honestly gave the silver, after you gave them the recipe, you will also give them the secret copy in this bag. ”

As she spoke, Jia Qiang took out a stone blue bag from her sleeve pocket, and said in a low voice: "This bag is extremely important. If the Zhao family's Huangtang is lost and uses a moth to take the recipe, or, using the shameless people in Dongfu to force it, you just give them the recipe, but this trick must be burned directly, don't fight with them, the fight will inevitably suffer in vain. After they leave, you immediately move to the Huai'an Hou Mansion with your aunt and wait for news. When that bastard finds out that something is wrong and comes to the door again, let Elder Hong tell them that the other half of the secret recipe is in my hands, and let them go directly south to Yangzhou to find me, but this time, they have to bring enough 50,000 taels of silver, remember? ”

Jia Yun's head was a little big when she heard this, and she was also a little confused, and said, "Brother Qiang, the Zhao family will go...... Will you go to Dongfu to come forward? ”

Jia Qiang sneered and said, "Never overestimate other people's bottom lines. Brother Yun, I will write a letter to Hua'an, the Hou Mansion of Huai'an, if they make it bad, you will send your wife to his house, and you will also go to avoid the limelight, remember, don't go back to Jia's house! ”

……

Waiting to say goodbye to his family one by one, and Xiangling also has an extra bracelet on her wrist, although it is far less precious than the jewelry seen in the Xue family, but Han Xiangling is like a treasure, protecting her wrist and being happy.

Home, a warm home, a home that treats her as a relative rather than a slave, is precious to Xiangling, who has been adrift and beaten since she can remember.

"Get in the carriage, we're ready to go."

Outside the door, Jia Qiang said warmly to Xiangling.

Xiangling responded with a "hitch", but first put the burden in the carriage, then turned around and kowtowed three times to Liu Laoshi and Aunt Chun.

This knock, the second elder who actually knocked shed tears, Xiangling got up, also teary-eyed, but still pursed the corners of her lips and swore : "I will definitely take care of the second master!" ”

Seeing this scene, Jia Qiang's heart fluctuated slightly.

To be honest, he really doesn't have much affection for Liu Laoshi's family for the time being.

Recognizing them is purely for the purpose of washing away the name of unfilial piety in the future.

In this world, where even the Holy Son of Heaven rules the world with filial piety, the crime of "disobedience and unfilial piety" is a heinous and extremely heinous crime.

Therefore, Jia Qiang has to guard against the Jia family's nest of turning their faces and denying people.

And if he can support his uncle's family, and when the time comes, Liu Laoshi and Aunt Chun will speak for him, the situation will be very different.

However, they have been getting along for a long time, and they are also very caring for themselves, Jia Qiang is not a grass-wood and hard-hearted person, and it is inevitable that she will gradually get closer to Liu Laoshi's family.

He looked at Liu Laoshi and Aunt Chun and Liu Daniu who was holding a small stone, and said softly: "Go back, I am a stubborn person who travels south of the Yangtze River, which is the most beautiful and rich place with the best scenery in the world, not to go to the frontier." I'll be back in half a year. ”

After that, he didn't talk too much, and stepped on the carriage.

Iron Head and Pillar invited the carriage and went to the Golden Sands Gang.

After going to the Jinsha Gang, sending Xiangling to Li Jing, and agreeing to meet on the dock boat, Jia Qiang rushed to Rongguo Mansion again.

After all, nominally, he is still a member of the Jia family.
