Ma Shangde brought pen and ink, Jia Lian wrote a letter to Jia Min, handed it to Niu Jizong for collection, and then began to eat and drink.

"Alas, I didn't expect that several of us have reached such a point now, and every time I think about it, it makes people sigh."

"Brother Niu doesn't have to sigh, the family to Beihai may not be a way out, leave this place at this time, the future will be calm, and then come back."

"Second Brother Lian, do you think it will be calm? You know what? Scholar Luo is about to make a comeback, Hou Xiaolian is about to be the right attendant of the Ministry of War, and Shi Guangzhu is about to be the attendant of the Ministry of Rites. and those three, who are now the prince's guests. Hmph, it's all a small person, stealing from a high position. What is done is the pain of the relatives and the happiness of the enemy. ”

Liu Fang lost her former calm demeanor, drank two glasses of wine, and her words became intense.

Hou Xiaolian is the grandson of Hou Guogong, and Shi Guangzhu is the grandson of Xuguo Gong, and these two families have always been very close to the three feudatories.

The two princes of the Jia family are closer to the Beijing Wang Shui family.

As for the "three families" mentioned by Liu Fang, they are naturally the three feudatories.

"Yes, the thoughts of those three families are known to almost everyone passers-by, and I really don't understand why the prince relies on them so much, and one day he will regret it. I saw that day, who else would help his family? ”

Chen Ruiwen was also indignant. This has been said very explicitly.

"Yesterday, that Li Yuan had already found my uncle and persuaded him to ask for a beggar bone."

"Please beg the bones, isn't Uncle Shi only in his forties, and he is ...... when he is in the prime of life."

"Ahem, isn't it because he is the one who wants to check the 500,000 new soldiers and horses in various places. In just over a year, 500,000 new soldiers and horses have been added, where is it so easy? My uncle suspected that most of the people in various places made false claims and fraudulently obtained military salaries, so they naturally blocked the way of other people's money. ”

Niu Jizong's uncle is also one of the squires of the military department, and it seems that he has not escaped the purge this time. Perhaps it was because he was persuaded to retire that the Niu family knew that they had completely lost their position and made up their minds to send their juniors away.

After drinking for a while, Jia Lian and Jia Qiang left under the pretext of excuse.

Although the government was monitored in the past, now that it is an extraordinary period, the surveillance will definitely be even tighter. Maybe when I met with Niu Jizong and others today, I was monitored by the Jinyi Army.

Out of Qionglin Restaurant, Jia Lian and Jia Qiang walked separately, Jia Lian in front and Jia Qiang behind, and after a while, Jia Qiang followed.

When they arrived at the door of Jia Qiang's "Yangguan", the two reunited.

"Is anyone following?"

"Nope."

"Niu Jizong, are a few of them gone?"

"No, you're still eating there."

"Alright, you can go back and rest too."

"Second Uncle Lian walks slowly."

Jia Lian returned home, and Wang Xifeng was still waiting for him.

"You go to your uncle's house tomorrow and send a message to your aunt."

"What's the word?"

So Jia Lian said what he heard from Zhou Tong about He Jialin's possible transfer from Bu Kui.

"How do you know?"

"You don't care where I found out, just say it, even if it's not true, there's no hindrance."

"Hmph, it's good to be back, the province is far away from the mountains and rivers, but it makes my uncle and aunt worry about it."

What do you know?

Jia Lian wanted to say a few words about Wang Xifeng, but she was afraid that she would ask more questions, so she held back her words.

"These are extraordinary times, you have to be more careful in what you do, and don't do anything that is illegal, lest someone catch the handle."

"What else can I do? Nowadays, the house is not the same as it used to be, you think I can't see it, even if I want to do it, no one may be willing to help me. ”

Wang Xifeng said, lay down on the kang, and ignored Jia Lian.

Jia Lian pondered for a while, silently got on the kang, tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep.

The prince shelved the motion to recall Jia Min, and now he wants to remove He Jialin from office, this signal is no more obvious.

This is that the Jia family has completely lost trust. Not only that, but now even the Wang family has begun to weaken.

In the four major families of Jia Wang Xue Shi, the Shi family has declined and has no power.

Now only Aunt Xue is left in the Xue family to lead Xue Pan and Baochai to live, and it has long since declined, and the strength is almost negligible.

The more powerful ones are the Jia family and the Wang family.

At present, the prince's pockets are getting tighter and tighter, and he has almost no scruples.

Even Niu Jizong's family did not escape.

Ji Daxue returned to his hometown, Xiu Tonggui was imprisoned, Liu Changfeng was transferred to Jiangsu, King Beijing went out on patrol, the two eunuchs in the palace, Xia Bingzhong and Qiu Shi'an, were killed, and Jia Yucun cut off contact with the Jia family.

Even the emperor's words have now lost their effect.

Fortunately, the fourth brother Min has a vision, and his family still has a way out in Beihai. Otherwise, wouldn't it be like Niu Jizong's family, and still have to take refuge in other people's doors?

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

Wang Xifeng sat up again.

"That white-eyed wolf in Jia Yu Village, now it seems that he just ignores our family?"

"Ignore it, ignore it, such a snobbish person, it's better to stay away from him."

"Not only Jia Yu Village, but even Jiao Xing has changed, every time I came in the past, I couldn't wait to kneel for a long time, but now even the people sent by our family are gone."

"What are you doing when someone is sent to her?"

"Yesterday she had her birthday, and I asked Shan Daliang to send some gifts to the past, which was like this in previous years. I didn't think about it, I didn't even let the door in, and the gifts were confiscated. It is clear that he will ignore our family from now on. ”

"Forget it, why be angry with them. He didn't want it, but he saved money. ”

"Hmph, it's all snobbery. Do they think that our family is no good, and when Fourth Brother Min comes back in the future, I will definitely talk to Fourth Brother Min, and ask him to abolish the white-eyed wolf of Jia Yucun. ”

"Don't talk about this, Jia Yucun is now the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and there is nothing that the fourth brother can do about him."

Jia Lian wanted to cover up the past, but he didn't expect Wang Xifeng to sneer.

Jia Lian saw that she was abnormal, and also sat up.

"Why are you laughing so much, could it be that you are sick?"

"Second master, you are sick, what do you think you are doing, I don't know?"

"What did I do?"

"First of all, I sent Baoyu and the girls to the fourth brother Min, Brother Qiang went to Beihai and came back, Miss Bao, Miss Lin, and Miaoyu would kill people and set fires, and they left in a hurry after staying at home for three days, Qin Zhong escorted the boat, and they all arrived in Tianjin, and they didn't go home to see his sister and father, and the fourth brother Min didn't come back for a few years, and the emperor asked him to be the deputy head of the Zongren Mansion last time, he didn't come back, if he didn't do the same big thing in Beihai, would it be like this?"

"He's just doing some business there, what's the big deal?"

"Hmph, who is Fourth Brother Min, I don't know? If he wants to make money, what better place to do it than the imperial capital and Jiangnan? He didn't do business in these places, but he went to the cold and snow of the North Sea to do business, and you fooled me for a fool. ”

"Didn't he go to France to do business?"

"Our Wang family used to be in charge of foreign tribute, besides, Miss Bao came back from France this time, and they also came from this side, if they came back with any trafficked goods, why not sell them here in Dade, and also traffic them all the way to the North Sea? When you get there, what else can you make more money than here? ”

"According to you, what is Fourth Brother Min doing there?"

"I wondered, he was there thinking about rebellion."

As soon as Wang Xifeng said this, Rao is Jia Lian had been in the battle formation and had fought, but he was also bluffed, so he hurriedly went to cover Wang Xifeng's mouth.

"My aunt, don't talk nonsense, you want to kill your head."

"Just talk about it at home, and there are no outsiders, what are you afraid of."

If you want to talk about this Wang Xifeng, his imagination is really strong enough.

Jia Min wanted to build a country, and even Jia Qiang, who had been there, didn't realize it, let alone Jia Lian.

Although Jia Qiang had introduced the situation of the Beihai Autonomous Association, Jia Lian had not thought about it in this regard.

As for Jia Min's rebellion, it turned out that the ancestor had told him that if the royal family went too far, it would be called Jia Min's rebellion.

Although Jia Lian is also worried about the prince's approach now, he didn't expect that there would really be a day of rebellion in the future.

"Even if Fourth Brother Min wants to rebel, where is it so easy? There are only a few people under him, how many soldiers and horses does the court have? Fourth Brother Min is a smart man and would not do such a stupid thing. ”

"I also think it's impossible, but every time the fourth brother does things, isn't it all unexpected? So, you don't have to toss and turn. Even if the fourth brother of Min does not rebel, there must be a way. It's a big deal, we all went to the fourth brother Min. Leaving the imperial capital, this is a place of right and wrong. ”

"It's right to think so, don't talk about the rebellion of the fourth brother Min in the future."

"If you don't say it, you don't say it. Just one more thing, did you find it? ”

"What's the matter, who is going to rebel again?"

"It's not a rebellion, but it's almost like a rebellion."

"What is it, so serious?"

"Didn't you see that Brother Rong's daughter-in-law was a little abnormal?"

"What's so unusual about her?"

"A few years ago, was she always sullen and sighing all day long?"

"Sort of."

"In the past few years, has she been smiling every day, and she seems to feel a lot more comfortable, but Brother Rong is messing around, and she doesn't care at all?"

"So what? Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is virtuous, even the ancestors like her very much, where is it like you, a vinegar jar, a rouge tiger. ”

"I'll be serious with you. Whenever others talked about the fourth brother Min, she seemed very happy. Others praise the fourth brother Min, but she never praises the fourth brother in front of others. Don't you think it's abnormal? ”

"What's so unusual about that? Aren't you also happy to hear the news of Fourth Brother Min? ”

"It's not the same as she's happy."

"It's all happy, what's the difference?"

"Nature is different. Baozhu and Ruizhu often inquire about the news of Min's fourth brother. Also, don't you think it's a little strange that Jia Yan came? ”

Jia Yan is Qin Keqing's son. According to the ranking of the generations of Jiafu, this generation is the "stone" generation, so it is named Jia Yan.

"What's so strange?"

"She and Brother Rong haven't had children for so many years, why did they give birth like this?"

"The stakes are high, don't speculate."

"I don't want to speculate, but I can't help but think about it, and when I look at Na Jia Yan, I can't help but think about it."

"What's wrong with Jia Yan?"

"Don't you think that Jia Yan's eyebrows and eyes are not like Brother Rong, but very much like another person?"

"Like whom?"

"Fourth Brother Min."

Jia Lian went to cover Wang Xifeng's mouth again.

"My living ancestor, you must not be cranky. Rest quickly, and if you think about it any more, you're going to have hysteria. ”

"Actually, I don't think it's possible."

Wang Xifeng muttered and lay down to sleep.

Jia Lian blew out the candle and lay down.

Lying on the kang and unable to sleep, thinking about Wang Xifeng's words, and thinking about Jia Yan's eyebrows, I felt that I really looked a little like the fourth brother of Min.
