Under Jia's mother's stern voice, although Jia Baoyu had many questions in her heart, she didn't dare to ask more questions or say anything, so she could only respectfully respond "yes".

Then, together with Jia's mother, everyone brought three animals and six animals, incense candles, treasure money, incense ingots and other things to the gods and gods in the temple.

And so on until the sun turns westward.

The Jiao blessing ceremony held separately for Yuan Chun in the Qingxu Temple has just ended.

Annoyed by Jia's mother because of the previous incident, Daoist Zhang had the heart to ease, so he held a tea tray, put a big red python satin prayer jacket on it, and walked to everyone.

He said with a smile: "Today, the old lady has come over, and there is nothing to congratulate the fellow Taoists in the view, this is the magic weapon for each of them to preach, even if the old lady does not want it, she only keeps it in the room to play tricks and reward people."

Hearing Daoist Zhang's words, Jia Mu looked inside the steering wheel.

I saw that there were Jin Huang and Yu Jue on the plate, or "everything goes well", or "the year is safe", all of which are beads and jewels, jade and gold carving, there are thirty or fifty pieces.

Because he said, "You're messing around, too! Where did they get their monastic things? I'm here today to pray for my eldest sister's blessings and vows, and you guys won't accept these things!"

Daoist Zhang hurriedly smiled and said, "This is all a little respect from them, how can Xiaodao stop it? If the old lady doesn't stay, won't they be told to look at the small path, not like they are from a family?"

The meaning of the words is very simple, all the Taoist priests have filial piety, so they entrusted Daoist Zhang, a member of the Jia family, to convey it on his behalf, if he is rejected by Jia's mother, he will be a stand-in for the first prince, and he will have no face in the view in the future......

As soon as these words came out, Jia Mudeng had nothing to refute.

I had to order the mandarin duck to pick up the things.

Next to her, Sister Feng smiled and said, "Madam, since Grandpa Zhang said so, it is impossible to excuse it, but it is useless for our family to ask for them, so we simply asked the boys to take them out and scatter them to the poor."

Jia Mu smiled, "That's right."

Hearing this, Daoist Zhang hurriedly stopped: "The old lady has a good heart and wants to do good, but although these things are not very surprising, in the end they are also a few utensils, if they are given to beggars, one will not benefit them, and the other will be collapsed.

If you want to give up the poor, why don't you give them money?"

"So I'll take it," Jia Mu nodded, and ordered Sister Feng to say, "Just take the money and give alms in the evening."

Seeing Jia Mu accept the things, Daoist Zhang finally put his mind at ease.

If these things were really given to beggars by Jia's mother or something, wouldn't his old Zhang be resented to death by other Taoists in the view? That's a clean face!

Then.

Over there, Sister Feng smiled again and asked, "Grandpa Zhang, why haven't you changed our girl's name charm?" You still have such a big face before, send someone and I want goose yellow satin......

"Harm, but I'm an old lake!"

Daoist Zhang laughed twice and said: "The Fu has already been there, and it was supposed to be sent to the second grandmother the day before yesterday, but the mother and the old lady came to do a good deed, so they forgot about it, and now they are still in front of the gods, waiting for me to get it."

As he spoke, he ran back to the main hall.

After a short time, the Taoist turned around and returned.

Still holding a tea tray, there is still a big red python satin warp jacket on it, holding out the talisman. ….

Seeing this, Sister Qiao'er's nurse hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the charm.

Daoist Zhang wanted to pick up Sister Qiao'er.

There, Sister Feng smiled and said, "You just take it out of your hand and hold it on a plate."

Daoist Zhang had to put away his hand and replied, "Old Daoist, I don't have anything in my hands, how can I take it?" It's better to clean it with a plate."

said, look at the Qiao sister in front of him.

Suddenly I understood something.

smiled wryly, and completely extinguished the thought of hugging Sister Qiao'er.

Seeing that Daoist Zhang understood.

Sister Feng immediately smiled again: "You just took out the plate, but you scared me, you didn't say that it was for Sister Qiao'er, but it seemed that you came with us to give alms."

When the people heard about it, they coaxed

laughed.

Even Jia Zhen, who was not far away, couldn't hold back her laughter.

Mother Jia heard Sister Feng's words, and immediately turned around and said, "Monkey, monkey! Aren't you afraid of hell with your tongue cut?"

Hearing Jia's mother scolding.

Sister Feng hurriedly stopped the words in her mouth, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Ancestor, forgive me, I am so happy that my mouth is scooped today, and I don't like to listen to what I say, tomorrow, I will go back and recite his "Yin Qi Wen" more than a dozen times......

"You, you!"

Seeing that Sister Feng was so lazy, Jia Mudeng shook her head helplessly.

The crowd laughed again.

Then Jia Mu took everyone back to the main upstairs to rest.

Jia Baoyu sat next to Jia's mother, and asked a little maid to hold Fang Cai's plate of greetings, constantly rummaging and looking for them, picking and showing Jia's mother one by one.

During this period, Jia Baoyu asked curiously, "There are so many things in the tea tray, is it really the magic weapon of preaching?" Like in the fairy book?"

"Just listen to that."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "What kind of preaching magic weapon, it's just an exaggeration to make a fuss, the Taoist priests in the temple, whether they have a teacher or not is not certain, where is their turn to preach?"

Even if it's 'preaching, it's not the immortal fighting method in the script, where can I use anything' magic weapon?"

"Oh, that's how it ......."

Jia Baoyu responded, his face full of disappointment.

He was talking.

Mother Jia suddenly saw a red and gold-dotted unicorn, so she reached out and picked it up, and said with a smile: "This thing, it seems that I saw someone's child wearing such a ......."

Next to him, Xue Baochai smiled: "Big Sister Shi has one there, but it's smaller than this."

"I said so."

Jia Mu suddenly said, "It turns out that Yun'er has this."

Jia Baoyu was also surprised: "She has been living in our house recently, why haven't I seen it?"

Not far away, Tanchun smiled and said to Jia Baoyu, "Sister Bao is a careful person, and she keeps the sisters' affairs in her heart, no matter what they are."

"Sister Tanchun praised me for going."

Xue Baochai smiled when he heard this.

Jia Baoyu heard that Shi Xiangyun had this thing, so he hurriedly picked up the unicorn and carried it in his arms.

It's just that he was afraid that people would see it, saying that it was all because he heard that Shi Xiangyun had the golden unicorn that he would leave it, so he held it in his hand, but he kept glancing at people. ….

In this regard, many people do not have much theory.

Only Xue Baochai looked at it, quietly pulled Shi Xiangyun's sleeve, and gestured to Jia Baoyu, with a smile on his face, as if he was admiring.

made Shi Xiangyun blush.

In this case.

Jia Baoyu didn't feel embarrassed, took out the qilin, and motioned to Shi Xiangyun, "This thing is fun, I'll stay and play."

Shi Xiangyun twisted his head, blushed, and said, "If you keep it, just keep it, what do you tell me for?" I'm not unfamiliar with that stupid unicorn in your hand!"

Jia Baoyu smiled: "You really don't want it, I have to take it."

As he spoke, he picked it up again.

Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Jia Mu also laughed.

hid Shi Xiangyun behind Xue Baochai in shame.

After a while.

The laughter faded away.

Jia Mu said, "Don't laugh anymore, the red gold unicorn is called Baoyu to take it, and it happens to be a pair with Yun'er, and the others you see if you like them, take them yourself."

After speaking, he picked out two small Ruyi from the plate with his own hands.

handed one to Baochai and said, "You take one of this wishful treasure girl, and I will leave the other one for Lin girl, neither of you is biased, no one is leaning!"

"Thank you, Ancestor."

Xue Baochai immediately stepped forward with a smile and took it.

At this time, Sister Feng smiled and said, "The old ancestor is impartial to Brother Cong's room, but all the good things have been rewarded, so how can we pick the rest of these people."

"You're the best at arching fire."

Jia Eyang glared at Sister Feng angrily, "Look at how I punish you when you go to my house to ask for peace tomorrow."

"Good Ancestor, this can't be helped."

Sister Feng smiled and begged for mercy.

Burst into laughter.

While laughing, a maid came to report and said, "Someone from General Feng's family is here."

It turned out that Feng Ziying's family heard that Jia Mu and others were going to come to Qingxuguan to pray for Yuanchun's blessings, so they hurriedly ordered people to prepare pigs and sheep, incense candles, tea and silver and other things and send them.

Sister Feng heard this, clapped her hands and laughed, "Oh! I won't guard against this, I just said that our girls are here to pray for the blessings of the eldest aunt and grandmother, and this is also a gift, what a ......."

The words were finished.

Everyone saw the two housekeepers of the Feng family come upstairs.

Busy watching the tea on the seat.

After some gossip, the two of the Feng family did not go, and then Zhao Shilang also came.

The guests came one after another, all of them heard that the Jia family should be entrusted by the concubine, and all the female scrolls went to Qingxuguan to pray for her blessing and wish, so they should be distant relatives and friends, and the family is with each other, and they are all vying to give gifts.

This is the case.

Mother Jia let out a long breath and said with emotion: "Since the princes of the two mansions went back then, our family has not encountered today's grand occasion for some years, this is the head of the high-class noble family!"

It was getting late, and everyone in the Jia family wanted to go home.

Jia Mu ordered the housekeeper to add a lot of incense money to the temple, and then everyone came out of the Qingxu Temple under the gifts of the Taoist priests.

Afterwards, everyone got into a sedan car and turned around the house without mentioning it.

…………

The flowers bloom in two, one on each branch.

Yangzhou Mansion.

After Jia Cong cleaned up the four salt merchants of Li, Jiang, Huang and Pan one after another, the harvest was also quite rich. ….

Because the assassination of Lin Ruhai failed, and later instigated Lin Junqing to poison and murder, after the matter was exposed, the four families were equivalent to stepping into the ghost gate.

Jia Cong made a decision immediately, arresting people and raiding their homes in one go.

The gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, field shops and other things accumulated by the four salt merchants who had worked hard for several generations were all charged into the internal money of Emperor Chengde at once.

The purse that called it shriveled was swollen instantly.

Looking at Jia Cong and Lin Ruhai, the eyes naturally became more and more kind.

Look, this is called sharing worries for the emperor, this is his good courtier Liu Zhang!

After this battle.

The two Huai Eight Great Salt Cities are directly gone, and the remaining Wang, Cheng, Hong, and Zheng are the four salt merchants, and the latter two have long been under Lin Ruhai's command, and it is precisely because of them that Lin Ruhai's salt patrol envoy has done quite smoothly.

The Wang and Cheng families have always taken a wait-and-see attitude.

The grass on the wall is generally wobbly.

After Jia Cong made a move, the leaders of the two families suddenly seemed to be sitting on wax.

You must know that Lin Ruhai basically adopted a gentle approach to Wang and Cheng, and there were very few cases of ruthlessness, but Jia Cong's approach was different.

Just half a day's work.

The four salt merchants of Li, Jiang, Huang and Pan, who have been entrenched in Yangzhou for several generations, have copied the dead and copied, and the gold and silver mountains that have been painstakingly accumulated for several generations have been instantly wiped out.

This ending is not tragic.

It was also called Wang and Cheng's hearts, and their throats and eyes were raised.

Therefore, when Jia Cong's order came, the heads of the two families directly took the lead in kneeling, which was called a neat and neat one.

Waiting for the price to sell, left and right?

In front of Jia Congxue's sharp long knife, it doesn't exist!

……

this day.

Jia Cong was talking to Lin Ruhai.

After talking about this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I have been the imperial envoy of the two Huai patrols for many years, and I still don't have a good way to take those two wall grasses, and now Brother Cong, as soon as you come, the two families will worship, it's really ......

He shook his head, speechless.

Lin Daiyu next to her smiled: "That's why Brother Cong will be able to live in an official house for so many years, which is taller than you, father."

Lin Ruhai, "......"

Therefore, small padded jackets will leak!

"I'm not the same as my uncle."

Jia Cong stopped Lin Daiyu's words and explained: "I am a military general, in addition to His Majesty's promotion, in addition to His Majesty's promotion, I can also obtain it with military merits on the battlefield.

My uncle is a civil official, and in addition to His Majesty's promotion, his promotion also depends on his political performance, and that thing can only be effective in three or five years, so naturally it is not as fast as mine."

"Brother Cong, you don't have to put gold on my face."

Lin Ruhai also smiled, "Your achievements now are far beyond the younger generation of Daqian, even those of us are not as good as you, and we are truly promising."

The three of them spoke.

Outside, He Dong came to congratulate, "The Wang and Cheng families are here."

Hearing this, Jia Cong said to Lin Ruhai, "Uncle, it seems that these two wall grasses are not slow to turn their brains."

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "There are four families in front of them who have made examples, and if the two of them don't hurry up to show their loyalty, I'm afraid that they will have to go to Li Yanfu and the four of them to be companions, how dare they delay?"

Speaking of which.

Lin Ruhai's heart moved, and he asked, "What are you going to do with the Wang and Cheng families this time?"

"What to do with ......"

Jia Cong groaned slightly, "In view of the previous behavior of the two of them, if they are not punished, not only will I be sorry for your hard work in the past few years, uncle, but the Hong and Zheng families, who took refuge in the first place, will also be upset."

There was a pause.

Jia Cong looked at Lin Ruhai and nodded.

He continued, "Since they are going to be punished, they simply ask half of their family property to be put into the treasury. In this way, it can not only give the four of them a tight skin, but also balance the resentment of the household, right?"

"That's a pretty good thing to do."

Lin Ruhai smiled with satisfaction, and then seemed to remember something, and said with a strange face: "It's just that in this case, Your Majesty will definitely have to have a fight with Lord Liu from the household department......

Hear me.

Jia Cong's mind could already imagine the picture of Liu Ce, the head of the household department, constantly asking Emperor Chengde for money.

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help laughing, "Since Your Majesty wants money, it is inevitable that you will be struggling, and it is estimated that it will be painful and happy!"

96.
