Chapter 0624: The Old Lady Calls the Shots
I* Θ΅K7 @ l KC% F 'H 'DΕΎ26 )άT B c ΗΏΩ§ x " ' The turmoil and the war are different, but here in the North Sea is calm.
Although the Beihai Volunteer Army is gone, the urban and rural construction here is still in full swing.
Driven by the continuous construction boom, industrial commerce also prospered.
Although Middle-earth in the south was in the midst of war at this time, the entire northeast was already under the control of the Liberation Army, and peace had already been restored, so there was no negative impact on Beihai.
On the contrary, the continuous arrival of people from Middle-earth to the North Sea also brought new technology and capital.
These people, technology and capital are now flowing into the production and life of Beihai, adding fresh blood and new vitality to Beihai's economy and society.
In early summer, the North Sea is as hot and cool as the imperial capital. With more rain and proximity to Lake Figar, it is much wetter than the dry climate of the imperial capital.
Staying in such an environment is more comfortable than the imperial capital.
The endless shores of Lake Figar are already lush green. The green grass, like a huge green carpet, is spread flat on the ground.
The huge green carpet is dotted with red, white and white flowers, blooming in the summer sun.
In a meadow, a group of people are having a picnic, there are not many men, mainly women.
This group of people is already familiar to the people of Pingyuan City.
They are the family members of Jia Min, the president of the Beihai Autonomous Association.
This is exactly the picnic party in Jiafu.
The graceful and luxurious old lady in the middle is naturally the ancestor.
The girl who almost never left her side was the ancestor's personal maid mandarin duck.
In turn, it is Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao, Jia Zhen and You Shi, Aunt Xue, Xue Pan, Xue Zhen and the maid Xiangling, Wang Xifeng, and Li Kun.
A little outside, the amorous young woman with a flower letter who was playing with a boy was Qin Keqing.
After Qin Keqing arrived in Beihai, he took over the housekeeping of Ningguofu, and then started a business, just like in the imperial capital, Qin Keqing now supports the internal and external housekeeping of Ningguofu.
Wang Xifeng was still in charge of the internal affairs of Rongguo Mansion, and at the same time started his own business.
The business of Rongguo Mansion was managed by Li Kun and Xue Zhen.
The older generation above them, Jia Yu continued to eat, drink and be merry every day, and last month he took a white Tatar woman as a concubine, and added a white woman to his room.
Jia Zheng couldn't stay still, so he went to the Autonomous Council every day and followed Sun Yuanfei to discuss the construction matters in various places.
Originally, he was a waiter in the Ministry of Industry, and he was more or less a professional, and he always understood river affairs and water conservancy and construction matters.
Although I don't want to be busy, I am busy every day, and my life is quite fulfilling.
As for the old ancestor, it was almost the same as when he was in the imperial capital before, and he talked with Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, etc. every day, or he was accompanied by mandarin ducks and others to go out for a walk, and sometimes he had to go to the lake for a turn.
After coming back, he gathered the ladies of the family to eat and drink tea together, and watched a scene from time to time.
Although Liu Xianglian and Jiang Yuhan are gone, it turns out that the "Twelve Officials" bought from Suzhou in the imperial capital were taken to Beihai a few days ago. This is the drama troupe at home, and it is even more convenient to watch the play.
A couple of carriages came again, and a couple of women came down.
The first one was Ping'er, followed by a little girl, who was Ping'er and Jia Min's daughter.
Then there are Shen Bingyi, Raider, Third Sister You, Gu Panpan, and Yizhihua Qu Pianxian.
Shen Bingyi is Jia Min's concubine, the attacker was originally from the mansion, Third Sister You is the sister of the You family, and Gu Panpan is Jiao Li's wife, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are all from Jiafu.
Qu Pianxian is Zhao Dahai's wife, Zhao Dahai was originally Jia Min's deployment, and he is also familiar with Jia Lian and others, and it is not surprising that he is mixed into the circle of Jiafu.
Ping'er and the others brought some more food, and the maids took it and put it on the table.
"It's all so much, can you eat it? Spend so much money. β
The old lady complained on her lips, but she was very happy in her heart.
"Ancestor, this is all made by yourself, and it will cost you nothing to try it."
Ping'er said as she laid out food with the maid.
"You're busy with business, so you don't have to come to me all the time. When the girls first left, I was a little lonely, but now I am used to it, and I don't have them anymore. β
"The old ancestor can't help but say this, who always asks me about the girls? Thinking about this for a while, thinking about that for a while? β
Wang Xifeng came out to help again.
"As long as you talk a lot, I'll just ask? Ping'er, there's something going on today, right? β
"There's something going on. The fourth master, the second master and the girls all came with letters, and I specially sent them, so that the ancestors could be happy. β
"Yes, take out the letter quickly, Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law, you read it."
Ping'er handed a stack of letters to Li Kun, and Li Kun began to read the letters.
The first letter was from Jia Min, without too much content, just greeting the ancestors, father, mother and others, briefly introducing the battle situation, saying that they had captured the imperial capital, and after Chang'an ascended the throne, he would lead his troops back to Beihai.
In the past, Jia Min often wrote back to introduce some information, but now that he has learned that he has captured the imperial capital, he naturally does not think there is anything strange.
The second letter is Jia Lian's letter, which begins to say that he has returned to the mansion in the imperial capital, and everything is fine with the house and the subordinates.
Everyone was waiting to read it, but Li Kun suddenly stopped reading, and tears flowed out.
"Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"
The old lady wondered.
"Jia Yucun has been caught."
Jia Zheng stood up suddenly, snatched the letter from Li Kun's hand, looked at it greedily, read it three times, and finally confirmed that it was true.
Then he knelt down in front of the old lady and kowtowed three times in a row.
"The ancestor has a spirit, the mother is Hongfu Qitian, the dog thief in Jia Yucun has finally been caught, Brother Lian and the girls killed him in front of the eldest girl's mausoleum, well, the sky has eyes."
The old lady suddenly stood up.
"Hahaha, such a villain, finally evil is rewarded, and the big girl can look at it."
Then he turned to Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue.
"This time, you two can breathe a sigh of relief, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. Good job, good job, Brother Lian and the girls, they are worthy of the children and grandchildren of my Jia family. β
Mrs. Wang had already burst into tears, and at this time, she was so excited that she just nodded again and again, unable to speak.
For Jia Yucun, she can be said to have a double hatred.
Jia Yuanchun here is his daughter, Wang Ziteng is his brother over there, plus Jia Yucun was ruthless to the Jia family at the beginning, and he hated Jia Yucun to the core.
Aunt Xue was also very excited when she heard that the culprit who murdered her brother was dead, and she had mixed feelings, so she hugged Mrs. Wang, and the two sisters lost their voices and were in pain.
Other people also hated Jia Yucun so much that they couldn't help shedding tears.
Seeing that the adults here were crying, several children didn't know why, and they were also scared and cried.
At this time, the old lady came to her senses.
"Okay, this is a happy event, what to cry about, you should be happy, you see, the children are scared to cry. Okay, don't cry, eat, drink, celebrate. Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law, you read the girls' beliefs again. β
Most of the girls' letters were routine, nothing more than greetings and greetings, and then they introduced their situation in Middle-earth, and there was no need to worry about it, and they would return to Beihai as soon as things were over there in the future.
Finally, there is Baochai's letter, which is more special, specifically mentioning the marriage of Jia Min and Chang'an.
Baochai said in the letter that he was willing to break the marriage contract with Jia Min, and was willing to be a concubine for Jia Min, and gave up the seat in the main room to Chang'an.
At this moment, everyone stopped squeaking and looked at the ancestor together.
Regarding the marriage between Chang'an and Jia Min, the letters from Jia Min, Jia Lian and the girls have already been said.
Later, King Beijing, Ji Mingluan and Dai Quan also wrote to Beihai to talk about this matter.
The old lady and others also felt that this matter was tricky, but Jia Min was not there, and they couldn't make any decisions, so the matter was dragged down.
Seeing that Baochai's letter said so today, I have to have an explanation, otherwise I can't say it to Aunt Xue.
The old lady took a glass of wine and stood up.
"Miss Bao is a person who understands the general situation, and she just doesn't want to embarrass us and Brother Min. However, her marriage with Brother Min was decided by us, and she and Brother Min were both satisfied with each other at the beginning, so this matter cannot be changed. This matter cannot be decided by Miss Bao herself. When it comes to when, Miss Bao is the main room. β
"Yes, yes, that's exactly how it should be."
Mrs. Wang is Baochai's aunt, and she naturally favors Baochai in her heart. Besides, Baochai is generous and decent, and Mrs. Wang has always liked Baochai.
In this regard, even Jia Zheng has no opinion.
The old lady and Mrs. Wang said this, and others naturally couldn't say anything else.
For them, Baochai is their own person, and they are naturally much closer than Chang'an.
"However, this girl in Chang'an is not bad. Although his brother is not very good and has raided our home, if there was no Chang'an to intercede for us, we would have died a long time ago, and there would be no today. Chang'an has a life-saving grace for our family, and we can't forget it. β
"Yuan Heng married Chang'an to Brother Min, and he also looks up to our family. Although he was confused before, he still understood in the end. Besides, this matter is already known to the whole world, if our family divorces, Chang'an will also make the world laugh in the future, she will be the emperor in the future, how can this emperor be? β
"If Chang'an becomes the emperor, it will be regarded as the glory of our family if he enters our family in the future.
"There is only one main room, and with Miss Bao, you can't call Chang'an to be the main room. If you ask Chang'an to be a side room, not only will you be wronged, but you will not agree to it. β
"So, it's a tricky one. I thought about it, but I didn't come up with any good ideas. However, there must be a way to do it. Now, I'll tell you my method, can you take a look? β
In this matter, the truth and facts are clearly laid out there, even if the old lady doesn't say it, everyone understands.
It's always discussed in private, and no one has any good ideas.
Now when I see the old lady saying that there is a way, I can't help but feel a shock in my heart.
"Mother, tell me quickly, what is your idea?"
Jia Zheng is a little impatient.
"My idea is to do nothing. As long as Miss Bao is in the main room, we don't care about the rest, and let Brother Min make his own decisions. β
What's this idea called? Isn't it the same as not saying it?
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other
