Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, was a guard who followed the emperor to conquer the northwest, and formed four major families with the Shi family, the Wang family, and the Xue family. The three families of Jia, Shi, Wang and the Zhen family in Jiangnan were originally the emperor's domestic slaves. Jia, Shi, and Wang followed the emperor for many years and made great achievements, but they were all expelled by the emperor's grace, and they were each rewarded with knighthoods. The old lady of the Zhen family was originally the nurse of the emperor today, who saved the emperor's life when she was a child, and the emperor felt the grace of saving her life and expelled her family. Today's Lianghuai Patrol Salt Imperial History is Zhen Yingjia, the eldest son of Mrs. Zhen. And this Xue family is different from these four, the Xue family has been doing business in Jinling for generations, it can be said that the family has a lot of wealth, but there is no choice but to be a farmer, the merchant is the cheapest, and the Xue family has always wanted to get rid of the shackles of businessmen. It just so happened that the master of the Xue family helped the current emperor to deliver the news when he went to the northwest to deliver the goods, so as to make meritorious contributions, and then donated a large amount of silver to the emperor for military salaries and grass in the northwest.

Jia Daishan is wise and foolish, although he looks rude, but in fact he has a gully. After the end of the war, he wisely handed over the military power, went home to be a leisurely grandfather, with him one day, the emperor will remember his love, Rongguo Mansion is the most expensive, no one dares to bully him. Even if he is gone, the emperor will leave some affection on his face, and his children and grandchildren will not be unable to get along in this capital. However, Jia Daishan's biggest worry is that his two sons are not promising. The eldest son, Jia Yu, grew up in front of his grandmother since he was a child, and he was raised only to have fun, greedy and lustful, never liked to read, and his only ability was to appreciate antiques. He asked for his eldest son to marry the daughter of Lord Zhang, the head of the Hanlin Academy, Zhang is a well-read woman, but she is too gentle to control Jia Yu.

The second son, Jia Zheng, is a hard-working student, but he has no talent in reading, and now he hasn't even passed the exam. He originally wanted to find a scholarly lady for Jia Zheng as his wife, but the old wife Shi insisted on hiring the eldest sister of Wang Ziteng for the second son, saying that she couldn't do the eldest son's marriage, and the second son's had to pick one that won her heart. He knew that his wife was not a daughter-in-law, so he insisted on choosing one she liked to be her second daughter-in-law.

Jia Daishan has a total of three daughters, the first two are concubines, and they have long been married, only this little daughter is his only daughter-in-law, and the youngest child in the family, so she has grown up with a thousand pets since she was a child. When she grew up to five years old, Jia Daishan saw that she was very smart, more than a hundred times stronger than her two brothers, and loved her a little more, so she invited a famous teacher to teach.

Thinking of his daughter who will get married in less than half a year, Jia Daishan can't help but feel pantothenic acid in his heart, and his favorite little daughter has also grown up, and she will soon marry another woman! But then again, he is also relieved to have a young talent like Lin Ruhai as his son-in-law. Although the Lin family is sparse, but the background is very deep, who doesn't know that the Lin family has been handsome for several generations, and the daughters-in-law they married are also the daughters of famous families, Lin Ruhai is very attentive to Jia Min, but I am afraid that the dowry will not be thin.

Thinking of this, Jia Daishan got up and walked out of the study to the backyard, to find Jia's mother to discuss the dowry of her baby daughter.

At that time, Jia's mother was in the room to reconcile accounts with her eldest daughter-in-law Zhang, and when she saw Jia Daishan enter the house, Zhang hurriedly got up and saluted, Jia Daishan let him get up, and he entered the inner bedroom. Seeing that Jia Daishan came back to the inner courtyard at this time, Zhang must have something to tell Jia's mother, so he said that he wanted to go to the kitchen to have a look, so he left first.

Jia's mother then entered the inner room, and saw Jia Daishan leaning on the chaise longue in a trance, she personally made tea and brought it to Jia Daishan, "What does the master think, so obsessed?" ”

Jia Daishan came back to his senses and got up, took the tea bowl handed over by Jia's mother, took a sip and put it on the small table on the side. "How did you prepare Min'er's dowry? The Lin family is a family of scholars for generations, don't let people underestimate it! ”

"Don't worry, master, I'm only Min'er, the daughter of my own family, how can I be willing to let her be wronged?" Jia's mother sat down on the round stool next to the small yellow rosewood round table in the middle of the room, looked at Jia Daishan with a smile, and was noncommittal to Jia Daishan for loving her daughter so much. A daughter's family is raised like that, and she can't take the imperial examination to become an official, no matter how talented she is, it is useless, it is better to find more ways for Zheng'er.

"It's good that you know it in your heart, and the dowry list will be taken back for me to see." Jia Daishan saw Jia's mother's disdain, and decided that it was better to check it himself.

Jia Mu was angry when she heard this, but she couldn't say anything, she could only smile. She originally wanted Jia Min to participate in the draft in the palace this summer, everything is bigger, who knows that she will bite the gold halfway, Lin Ruhai will come to the door to propose, and the old man will respond without saying a word, it's really damned! A scholar from a lonely family, even if he has won the top prize, it is difficult to have an inch of money without supporting each other, let alone just a flower. If Min'er enters the palace, with her beauty and talent, she will definitely be able to get the favor of the saint, and when the mansion is glorious, she can also help Zheng'er.

Mother Jia is only in the inner house, how do you know that although Lin Ruhai is now edited by the Hanlin Academy, she is very liked by the emperor, let him be by her side, and many holy decrees are drafted by him, as if he has become the emperor's confidant.

Jia Daishan didn't stay much in the inner courtyard, so he went to the study in the front yard again. Just about to practice calligraphy, the little guy has already laid out the paper and studied the ink, this is the little guy outside the door to report that the third girl is coming, Jia Daishan was stunned at first, so he quickly ordered the little guy to invite Jia Min in.

"Greetings to my father!" Jia Min smiled and saluted Jia Daishan, and ordered Dongmei, who followed, to open the food and personally bring out a bowl of bird's nest porridge inside and hand it to Jia Daishan.

"The daughter heard that her father couldn't swallow food and couldn't sleep at night because of his daughter's illness these days, and her daughter was very distressed! I boiled some bird's nest porridge to replenish my father's body, and my father should take care of his body, and don't hurt his body because of his daughter, wouldn't it be his daughter's sin! ”

Jia Daishan took the bowl with a smile and finished the bowl of bird's nest porridge in three or two clicks. Dongmei stepped forward to collect the bowl, and Jia Min ordered her to wait outside the door. After everyone left the study, Jia Daishan pointed to the chair in front of the desk and asked Jia Min to sit down, and he sat down on the chair behind the desk to face Jia Min.

"Father, this is going to practice calligraphy?" Jia Min glanced at the four treasures of the study on the desk.

"Yes, the emperor always says that my words are ugly, let me practice every day, I look good, the emperor is still not satisfied, saying nothing, what kind of wind bones, I don't know what kind of wind bones are! I can only find time every day to practice calligraphy. Jia Daishan said a little sneeringly. His handwriting was nowhere near as good as his daughter's, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Practicing calligraphy is not an overnight thing, my father only needs to go step by step, and I believe that over time, he will be able to practice good words that satisfy the emperor." Jia Min looked at his father with a smile.

Although my father is not proficient in writing and ink, he is not confused, and it is rare to be extremely transparent, if it is not for the early death of my father in my previous life, my mother will not be ......

Jia Daishan saw that his daughter had a sad look on her face, and there was a thick hatred in her eyes, and she suddenly felt a pain in her heart, his baby daughter! He thought of the second daughter-in-law set by his old wife, who was the eldest girl of the Wang family who was jealous of Min'er's outstanding talent and beautiful crown at the flower viewing banquet in Nan'an Palace, and poisoned Min'er, making Min'er almost disfigured. Thinking that Lin Ruhai sent the antidote in time, he couldn't help but be a little satisfied with this prospective son-in-law.

"Min'er! I'm sorry for you for the Father, but I can't be angry for you! Jia Daishan's tone was full of apology.

Jia Min quickly stood up and walked to Jia Daishan's side, squatted down and looked up at his father, who loved him, "Father, don't say that, Min'er knows that her father loves Min'er the most." The matter of taking the eldest girl of the Wang family has passed, isn't it okay for my daughter? Although she is my second sister-in-law, my daughter is about to get married, so I don't have to be with her all day, just be far away in the future! ”

"Hmmm! That's what the Father thinks of as well. The royal family is now in full swing, and although the husband has the title of the principality, he has no real power, so he can't help them. But I remember this incident, and I will have the opportunity to help you get justice for my father in the future! Jia Daishan clenched his fists and hammered heavily on the handle of the chair.
