Seeing that Jia's mother had changed her face, Jia Lian hurriedly gave her a look.

The old lady was so smart that she immediately knew that Jia Lian didn't want to say it in front of everyone.

At this time, Jia Mu didn't have anything else to say. She immediately said: "Okay, let's go here today, you all go back, don't sit idle with my old lady, Brother Lian'er and Feng Girl stay, just help me find something." ”

When Li Kun and the others saw this, they all nodded and got up and left. But Madame Wang opened her mouth to say something.

No one is stupid, they can see that Jia Mu and Jia Lian have something to say, but in the past, Jia Mu would not drive her away.

Could it be that Lian'er or Feng Yatou's little hoof said something to the old lady.

But before leaving, she glanced at Jia Lian, and Mrs. Wang actually found that Jia Lian was also very surprised. I can't help but feel a little confused.

As for Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Wang didn't even look at it. Mrs. Wang, who has watched her grow up since she was a child, knows this niece and niece very well, and without the instruction of Lian'er, the little bastard, she would never have done this kind of thing to sow discord.

Well, that is......

"Old Ancestor, don't you plan to leave the second wife?" Jia Lian was very curious, and even felt that Jia Mu was pulling hatred for herself.

Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang with complicated eyes, sighed, shook her head and said, "Back then, when Min'er was not married, she had a very good relationship with your mother. Both of them are very smart girls, so they naturally play together.

But the second wife is different, you know, the Wang family's family style is that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented. This is the kind of thinking since the county prince of the county, so he was reprimanded by Taizu. But the family style has been settled since then.

Although the second wife is not illiterate like Feng Yatou, she is much worse than Min'er and your mother. But she herself is still not convinced, she is young and full of selfish means. Your mother doesn't want to deal with her, but Min'er has had trouble with her a few times.

Later, she was ruthless to Min'er, although she didn't succeed. And I cleaned up a few times because of this. She didn't dare to hate me, so she hated Min'er because of it. ”

Jia Lian nodded, signaling that he understood. But I really sighed in my heart, and sure enough, Mrs. Wang's so-called Bodhisattva name came about in this way.

Jia Lian suppressed Wang Xifeng, who was still going to ask something, joking, since this kind of bad thing of the previous generation can't involve his own family. Why ask?

Mother Jia also understood what Jia Lian meant, and at the same time she was more and more surprised by Jia Lian's cleverness, Mother Jia was also very happy, Grandpa Guo had a good successor, and Rongguo Mansion and the Jia family could have a chance to prosper again, and Mother Jia was also very happy.

But now is not the time to talk about this, Jia Mu is desperate to know what happened to Lin Ruhai.

After all, the two sons are not very successful, and the older they get over the years, the more they miss the daughter who married Yangzhou.

When Lin Ruhai was serving in Shenjing, Jia's mother could still see her daughter from time to time, but since Lin Ruhai served as the salt inspector of Yangzhou for ten years in Yong'an, it has been six years, and I don't know how her daughter is doing.

Especially in the past six years, Jia Min has given birth to a daughter and a son and has become a mother. Jia Mu naturally didn't care even more.

On weekdays, letters are exchanged, and Jia Min always reports good news and not bad news. But Jia Mu can feel that Jia Min may not have had a good life in the past few years.

"So, what's going on with your uncle? Need you, the thousand households of the Nanzhen Prefecture Division, to go out in person? ”

Jia Lian sighed: "This matter is a long story. Back then, my uncle was probably the courtier of the emperor's palace. The release of Yangzhou was personally arranged by the emperor who was in charge of the ministry at that time.

After the emperor succeeded to the throne, because the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs were not in his hands. Therefore, the silver and wealth were scarce, and the uncle became the emperor's money bag. The salt tax in Yangzhou is too heavy......"

Mother Jia's face changed when she heard this, even if she stayed in the inner house of Jiafu all her life, she had also heard of the arrogance of Yangzhou salt merchants.

"I remember that in the fourteenth year of Jingning, the Wei family, a salt merchant in Yangzhou, launched a strike by salt merchants because they were not angry that the salt tax was too heavy at the imperial history of the salt patrol at that time, causing chaos in the Yangzhou market and shaking the government and the opposition.

At that time, many people in the court asked the imperial court to severely punish the imperial history and appease the salt merchants, but the grandfather of the country personally came forward to suppress the bullet, and personally took 10,000 people from the Beijing camp to Yangzhou. ”

Jia Lian heard about the Yangzhou strike in the fourteenth year of Jingning, but he didn't expect it to be Jia Daishan's pacification. But of course Jia Lian knew that Jia Mu said that this was not to show off the merits of Rong Guogong.

Because it's not worth mentioning.

"Yes, the profiteers of that generation, with the convenience of the imperial court, earned the wealth of the rich country. But because the court collects the taxes that should be paid, he wants to fight against the court, which is simply damned. ”

At this time, Jia Mu also figured out the meaning of Jia Lian's trip to Jiangnan.

"So you're here to use your uncle as a knife?"

Jia Lian was silent for a moment, but still nodded. He didn't want to admit it, but Jinyi Mansion was the sharpest knife in the emperor's hands.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of Da Zheng's standing army is to surpass that of Jinyi Mansion, which is true. But there was no big war, no peasant revolt like the weekend, and even the emperor could not easily use a standing army to deal with the civil unrest.

In the fourteenth year of Jingning, Jingning directly used Jingying, on the one hand, the gang in Yangzhou made too much trouble. On the other hand, it was also because it was the Holy Ancestor Emperor who was in power at that time, and it was Jia Daishan who proposed it. The exploits of the two monarchs and ministers can withstand the criticism of the government and the opposition.

Jia Mu sighed, she had also hoped that Baoyu could inherit the title. That way, she can rest assured when she gets underground. Although Baoyu may only be a third-class general for the rest of his life, that's not bad. At least Baoyu can be guaranteed to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

But now Jia Mu has also figured it out. If Jia Lian doesn't pay attention, it doesn't matter. But Jia Lian has obviously fallen into the eyes of the Son of Heaven, and the Jia family is doing this against the Son of Heaven.

So Jia's mother's mind really turned around, and she also began to help Jia Lian find a way.

Jia Lian's heart is still a little warm. The old lady was very happy when her mind was changed. So he also relieved Jia's mother.

"Don't worry, old lady, I went south this time, the Son of Heaven sword is on my body, and the emperor has given me a gold medal. Coupled with the power of Jinyi Mansion, it is enough to crush all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Lian thought that the old lady should be most concerned about Jia Min. He added: "Although my aunt's family has encountered a lot of dangers, everyone else is fine except for my cousin, who has some congenital deficiencies.

Although the old lady can rest assured, I will ensure that my aunt's family is safe and sound. ”

Mother Jia waved her hand: "Lian'er, since you got married, I have watched for a few months, and your temperament has changed greatly. I'm still relieved to do things, it can be seen that I have grown up.

I knew the emperor when he was in the palace, and he was a practical person, since he thought you could do it, you would definitely be able to stay. ”

Jia Mu paused slightly, and finally made up her mind: "The New Year is coming soon, you should be in Jinling this year, just right, you can bring the New Year's gift to the Zhen family." ”

Jia Lian's eyebrows raised suddenly!

Jiangnan Zhen family! Amazing!
