Yanjing is thousands of miles apart.

Ningrong Street, Xifu.

The backyard stage of Rongguo Mansion.

The newly arrived orchids from the Western Regions are dancing gracefully to the accompaniment of musicians.

A handsome young man came up from the side of the stage and joined the dancing crowd. He gradually approached the center and found the most beautiful girl. He danced with her and exchanged his feelings with her.

The beautiful girl's eyes became more and more blurred, and finally she lay in the boy's arms.

The music behind them suddenly stopped, and the boy and the girl stood up to take a bow. The boy took off his felt hat, revealing his thick black long braids. This was also a beautiful girl.

A few clear and euphemistic cheers came from the audience, and the men with beards on their chins who were commenting on the show also heard the cheers, looked at each other and smiled, and ignored them.

"Silence, how unbecoming you are for being so startled!" A middle-aged woman with a serious smile and a rosary in her hand spoke up.

Someone is still here to be the villain.

Several young ladies immediately covered their mouths.

The old lady who was getting older was not happy.

"Okay, this play is really good. Brother Hui put in a lot of effort to train it. Isn't this just what I'm waiting for?"

The young ladies immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other.

"I didn't expect that Brother Hui's script this time was unexpectedly good. I still remember that the last episode was really, really, goosebumps, and I felt bad all over."

A tall young lady with broad shoulders and a slim waist, she was outspoken and spoke out casually.

These words made the other little lady unhappy.

"That is a script brought back by my brother. If it has not been trained by my brother, it will naturally be bad."

Even the rebuttals made in the soft tone are not lethal, and even give people a desire to bully.

The young lady with slender shoulders and slim waist just covered her mouth and smiled softly.

The two people quarreling, one is the old lady's niece and nephew, and the other is a cousin who is both a concubine and a concubine, but has the support of an upright and good brother.

Thinking of this, the little lady inadvertently left the little person in the arms of a beautiful woman, imagining the scene of the little person growing up to support her.

But until his own brother grows up, it would be better for him to speak less.

The other three older girls were also arguing and discussing. The youngest one could still add a few words at first, but as the argument became more intense, her big and smart eyes slowly lost their luster.

What are they talking about?

"I heard that this is a play compiled by Brother Hui based on a story from the Western Regions. Oh, cousin, are you listening?"

"Okay, okay, it's so big." The elder Jia She stared at the Orchid beside the stage and said something vaguely.

The big man in purple robe hesitated to speak, but still gave a word of advice.

"I said, Cousin Enhou, no matter how good-looking he is, he still belongs to Brother Hui. We elders can't, at least we shouldn't..."

"Ah, yes, yes, this is my son's woman," Jia She regained his senses and wiped his saliva, "As a father, I would never steal my son's things. Anyway, brother Hui gave me a lot.

Beauty, I can still use it for a while, but I don’t know when I can deal with those Heshuotes on the plateau again."

After saying that, Jia She took out a purple clay pot, rubbed it with his sleeve like a baby, and sipped the tea into his mouth.

His right hand was not idle, even if his soul was attracted by the big-breasted Orchid, he did not stop holding the two shiny red walnuts on the writing plate.

"It's almost time. I heard that the Anxi Army has organized troops to support Gansu. I think it won't be long before we can drive Heshuote back to the plateau." A man with a scar on his face came over and spoke with that face

Said in a tone that didn’t match well.

"I guess Brother Hui will also accompany the army to support him. Not only him, but those concubines... those talents from various families should also come back and be granted titles. After a while, the thresholds of each family will be smoothed by matchmakers.

Here you go."

The scar-faced man, Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, earned his title by his own hard work, so he had a great impression of Jia Hui, who had made great achievements in fighting for his family.

"It's very, very true. I heard from people in the Ministry of Industry that when brother Hui comes back, a count will be indispensable. Brother Hui is only seventeen." The second master Jia Zheng also sighed, thought of something again, and looked towards

He looked at Jia Zhu, who was standing beside him, with determination in his eyes.

Jia Zhu, who was thin and tall, trembled all over. She didn't know why, so she just thought it was a cold, and when she found an opportunity, she resigned from everyone.

The slim girl with a noble temperament glanced at her brother worriedly. He was always forced to read by his father. Except when he went to the Imperial College to study, he wouldn't even let go of the door of his room all day long.

Seeing that his brother was getting thinner and thinner, standing together as if he was even thinner than his sister, Yuanchun looked at the other side of the screen, where his father was vaguely neglected by several uncles, and hesitated to speak.

The woman who knew her best friend's concerns held Yuan Chun's hand and comforted her.

"I know what you are worried about. I will talk to my father later and let him stay in the Imperial College for an extra hour on weekdays to have a good rest."

Yuanchun looked at his best friend gratefully.

"Don't look at me like this, anyway, I will eventually become a family with you." The girl's voice became smaller and smaller, and her courage was in a quantum superposition state of yes and no.

The girl is none other than Li Wan.

At that time, the old Duke, who was still a mighty middle-aged man, felt that his family had lost a bit of quietness. He wanted to change the atmosphere and respond to the policies of the court at that time, so he decided to marry the daughter of a civil servant to Jia She, who was destined to be a military commander.<

/p>

This is the so-called integration of civil and military affairs.

Generally speaking, military generals marry civil servants’ daughters, and civil servants marry generals’ daughters.

Rather than letting civil and military forces marry alone to form two major political groups, it is better to let them blend and split into more small groups.

Anyway, that’s what the emperor thought and did at that time.

The two major groups that had gradually formed were torn apart in an instant, forming small communities of interests based on geographical divisions.

For example, the four Jinling families, headed by the Jia family, formed with the local imperial examination families around Jinling such as Li Wan's father, Li Shouzhong, and were called the "Jinling School" in the court.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

It's just that the Jia family's power in the court has been thwarted, and many Jinling families have turned to the Zhen family.

I don’t know what the effect is, but it is much more stable than the Heshuote people who have formed two major factions on the plateau. The emperor is often proud of this and continues to adhere to his own policy.

In this case, Jia Daishan’s eldest son Jia She also welcomed his eldest son.

Since he is a concubine, there are many marriage partners.

In the end, Jia Daishan chose a junior whom he had met while on official business in Jiangnan, and was assigned to be his official, Li Shouzhong, a Hanlin scholar who had won the top prize in high school the previous year.

Coincidentally, his eldest daughter is three months younger than his eldest grandson, and her official position is neither higher nor lower. She is a doctor of the fifth rank of the Ceremony Department of the Ministry of Etiquette. This rank is suitable for his grandson, and Jia Daishan also knows Li Shouzhong well.

of.

Li Shouzhong didn't have any objections to this. Even if the lintel of the Duke's palace was a concubine, he couldn't compare with other people's legitimate sons. With Jia Daishan's emphasis on Jia Hui's training, he would not be bad no matter what. The worst thing was that Jia Daishan also promised that after a hundred years, he

, the private house is all returned to Jiahui, and the children will not suffer if they separate and live alone.

The worst he can do is spend more time with his family. Li Shouzhong, who comes from a wealthy family, will not wrong his daughter.

Under various coincidences, the fates of Jia Hui and Li Wan were intertwined.

Just as Yuanchun and Li Wan were chatting hand in hand, the pretty girl next to them curled her lips.

Bullying her that Wang Xifeng doesn’t study much?

"Look, look, I haven't even entered the door yet and my sister-in-law has started to worry about her. Is this because I am preparing to establish a relationship with my sister-in-law in advance..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Wan covered his mouth.

Yuan Chun also smiled and teased Wang Xifeng: "Then you have to work hard. I see that you have been looking at Brother Lian and you are almost looking for a husband. How about I talk to the old lady so that I can follow your wishes?"

Wang Xifeng's face suddenly turned red. She lost all her former cheerfulness and became incoherent.

"Lian, what's so good about Lian San? I don't like him. I want to marry whoever wants to marry him!"

After saying that, he ate the pastries on the table, pretending not to hear the two nasty sisters teasing him, which made the few young ladies watching the fun cover their mouths and snicker.

Wang Xifeng's aunt and Wang Ziteng's wife, Li, heard the conversation between Wang Xifeng and others, and turned to the old lady to mention the marriage between Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian.

Because of Jia Hui's brilliant record in the Anxi Army, Jia She and Jia Mu did not choose to support Wang Ziteng, but asked someone to take care of him to avoid being blinded by his military achievements.

However, in the past three years, Wang Ziteng has never made any achievements. Instead, he took advantage of the civil strife and annihilated the entire army. Only Wang Ziteng and a few soldiers came back, which caused the battle plan of Datong's commander-in-chief to be completely scrapped. He took advantage of the civil strife to severely damage Chaha.

Your opportunity was also lost. The Chahar tribe united and moved north calmly.

Jiang Sheng, the commander-in-chief of Datong, was furious. He begged his grandfather and grandma to take care of the military headquarters and the governor's office. He also begged the commander-in-chief of the two neighboring towns to cooperate. He wanted to use this merit to be promoted to the governor's office of the Fifth Army and enter the power of Daqi.

The center's plan fell through.

If the old relatives of the Jia family and the Shi family hadn't stopped him and promised to work hard to help him enter the governor's mansion, it's unclear whether Wang Ziteng could have saved his life.

The grace his father prayed for before he died was gone, and he was demoted from a military officer in Datong Town to a soldier guarding the city gate.

Li was sent by Wang Ziteng to run the relationship. Since Datong could no longer stay, Wang Ziteng wanted to start over in another place. For example, Anxi would be good, and Jia Hui could take care of him.

When Li arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, she just started to hint about Wang Ziteng. Jia Mu started to fool her. Before she could say a few words, she was called in to watch the play. She was so anxious that she could only watch the play patiently. Everyone applauded her.

Always cheer with a smile.

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, but for the sake of the Wang family, she persisted.

When my father-in-law was still alive, the Wang family was still a family that could speak loudly with the Jia and Shi families. Compared with the Xue family, the moneybags of the four Jinling families, they were not even a bit better.

But when his husband Wang Ziteng became the head of the family, the Wang family became the beggar. In order to borrow money to support the military department, even the sister-in-law who married the Xue family began to blame herself. If her husband still couldn't make a move, I was afraid that Xue, the moneybags, would

Everyone is riding on top of the Wang family.

For the sake of the Wang family and herself, Mrs. Li, as the mistress of the Wang family, must ask to come to the Jia family to support her today.

Seeing that her natal family had been wronged, Mrs. Wang was also very anxious. As the second wife, although she was in charge of the family, her mother-in-law, Jia Mu, was in charge of the overall situation, and the eldest wife, Mrs. Xing, was watching her.

Now she is not the perfect person who was turned a blind eye by Jia Mu and could secretly send money to the Wang family.
