Chapter 107: Second Master Lian's Legacy(1/2)
Recently, Wang Xiao has been in the military camp for a longer time.
Lin Ruhai hinted that he might have to move troops in the near future.
The surroundings of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not quiet. Although they were still indulged in luxury, the problems on all sides were getting worse and worse.
A few days ago, there was an urgent document coming to the south, saying that a group of overseas red barbarians occupied several small islands with large ships sailing like clouds.
The Hongyi said that it was to borrow places to dry goods soaked in water, but the original intention was to imitate the Portuguese's practice of occupying Macau.
Although the sea ban of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not that serious, the navy's combat effectiveness was average. He tried to expel the red barbarians but was driven back.
The emperor was very angry and prepared to send elite troops in the Beijing camp south.
For people like Dabao Face, life is just enjoyment, and it is about gala. Not to mention participating in war, even if you mention it to them, you will frown and dissatisfied and don’t want to listen.
But in Wang Xiao's opinion, the battlefield is the best place to make achievements. It is much faster than those big turbans who read the books of sages.
The premise is that the battlefield is very dangerous and you may not be able to come back alive if you go there.
The emperor hinted that Lin Ruhai intended to drive away the red barbarians. As the governor of the Beijing camp, in addition to their connections and personal abilities, the necessary prestige is indispensable.
Lin Ruhai hinted that Wang Xiao would like to take him with him if he really went there. Only by making contributions can he have the opportunity to continue to move forward.
Wang Xiao is naturally willing to go.
The emperor, the emperor, and the deposed prince party will eventually decide the final victory or defeat.
Although the Iron Net Mountain Mutiny did not write down the detailed results, there was no doubt that the emperor won a great victory. This is also the reason why Wang Xiao was willing to stand on the emperor's side.
The Jia family will inevitably get involved.
If you don’t want to be a chess piece that is determined by others, you have to work hard to become a chess player.
He rectified the Jia family and warned Jia Mu and others to have a peaceful life.
But many times you don’t want to be troublesome, but things will come to you on your own initiative.
On this day, Wang Xiao came back from the military camp and learned that Lin Meimei had come to Rongguo Mansion. Wang Xifeng and the others went to have dinner and drink together.
Wang Xiao was also preparing to see Lin Daimei, but he was stopped halfway.
"Sister-in-law, is there anything wrong?"
Looking at the charming Youshi in front of him, Wang Xiao was a little confused.
Youshi is Jia Zhen’s wife, and her sisters are You Erjie and You Sanjie.
Jia Zhen and his friends did not implicate their families when they were sent to the sea, and Wang Xiao did not drive them away. They were still in Ningguo Mansion, and they all thought they had to eat with a few more pairs of chopsticks.
You Shi looked at him with a grim look, and after a moment, her maid Yindie asked her to go outside the garden to see if anyone was coming.
When Yindie left, under Wang Xiao's shocked gaze, You Shi rushed into his arms. While crying, she patted him with her hands, "You have no conscience, you haven't known to come to see me after so long."
At this moment, Wang Xiao recalled Jiao Da's sentence in the book, "The one who raises the ashes, the one who raises the younger brother-in-law,"
The first half of the sentence talks about Jia Zhen, and the second half of the sentence talks about Youshi?
This couple is really a perfect match!
The person who admires Wang Xiao even more was Jia Lian, who was actually the younger brother-in-law he was raised. This method of seducing a married woman is really at the level of a great master.
"You have no conscience, are you tired of others?" You Shi saw that Wang Xiao didn't respond, and shed more tears. "I've been thinking about you all these days. Why are you so cruel!"
Wang Xiao looked up and sighed. Jia Lian left him a lot of "legacy"!
"Sister-in-law, let him go when something has passed."
Wang Xifeng had to take over, but it was fine if You Shi. Although she was also a beauty with charm, Wang Xiao was not Dumas, so she really didn't have that much energy to devote to women.
When Youshi heard what he said was so heartless, she burst into tears and even slapped him hard to vent his dissatisfaction.
What else can Wang Xiao do? He can only help Jia Lian clean up the mess.
After crying for a long time, even Wang Xiao’s clothes on his chest were wet with tears. Only then did You slowly calm down his mood.
"Since you are so heartless, I won't be able to bother you anymore."
You Shi leaned against Wang Xiao's arms and said quietly, "It's just that I want to ask you for something."
"you say."
"A few days ago, you sent all the managers in the mansion, and the people I brought didn't run away, and they were all taken away."
Wang Xiao frowned and said, "Do you want to plead?"
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Wang Xiao's words, You Shi thought angrily, she was a ruthless person who lifted her pants and refused to recognize others.
"It's not a plea, but without their filial piety, I'm increasingly pressed."
Although Youshi was not from a wealthy family, she also brought a few people around her when she married into Ningguo Mansion.
Seeing that everyone in Ningguo Mansion was using the power of the Jia family to make money outside, she also went with the flow.
But now everyone has been sent by Wang Xiao to the prison in Chang'an County to enjoy the full service of the yamen runners, so her wealth is naturally cut off.
Although she has monthly money every month, her family has my mother and two sisters all count on her to support her.
You Erjie's fiancé Zhang Hua became addicted to gambling a few years ago. Not only did he lose his family, but he also came to You's family every now and then to ask for money.
My mother You had no choice but to ask for You.
In Youshi's opinion, since Wang Xiao put on his pants and refused to recognize others, he would have to take some benefits and he would not have been in vain for so long.
Wang Xiao has always believed that things that can be solved with money are nothing.
Although he is a pauper in the modern world, he is a rich man in the Red Mansions world.
After hearing You Shi's words, Wang Xiao immediately patted his chest, "I'll ask Qingwen to send you a thousand taels of silver. Starting this month, your monthly silver will double. What do you think?"
Wang Xiao is very rich now. He copied a large sum of silver from so many officials in Ningguo Mansion, and a mere thousand taels of money is not a big deal.
In this era, acre of land was only a dozen taels or dozens of taels. A thousand taels of silver could buy dozens of acres of land.
You Shi was a little bit too little, but Wang Xiao turned his back and didn't dare to make a big fuss. He nodded quietly and agreed.
After seeing You Shi off, Wang Xiao began to have a headache. God knows how much romantic debt this guy, Jia Lian, still has to count it on him.
I wanted to see Lin Daimei, but now I lost my mood.
After a moment of entanglement, Wang Xiao turned around and walked back.
When passing by Tianxiang Tower, Wang Xiao stopped and looked at the beautiful building. He had never seen the protagonist who thought to himself that Jiao Da's first half of the sentence had been said before.
It is said that it is the national beauty and the identity of the royal princess. It is indeed full of attraction.
The book records that Lin Ruhai and Qin Keqing died almost at the same time.
However, it took more than a year from the time Lin Meimei received a letter to Yangzhou and Lin Ruhai died of illness.
Wang Xiao appeared early to save Lin Ruhai, and the time was very advanced.
Although Qin Keqing had been sick in bed at this time, there was no sign of death.
When I returned to my house, I saw Qingwen being a girl-red person, so I walked over and explained.
In addition to giving Youshi a thousand taels of silver and doubled the monthly rate, Qingwen also asked her to send someone to invite the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to treat Qin Keqing.
"If they are not doing well, there will definitely be someone outside talking."
This is the explanation given by Wang Xiao.
Qingwen had no doubts at all, because Wang Xiao was indeed not wrong.
Since they have supported them, they must be well-off. In the era of ethics, these are extremely valued.
Qingwen went out to do business, Wang Xiao lay on the bed thinking about things, and unknowingly fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already cloudy outside and the sky was gloomy. It was almost raining.
"The second master is awake."
Qingwen, not far away, saw Wang Xiao get up and hurriedly called the maids outside to come in.
He held snacks, hot tea, washbasin, towel, and clothes.
Qingwen stepped forward to change clothes for Wang Xiao and wiped his face with a towel. After all, she brought him a bowl of tremella seed soup for him to drink.
In the modern world, you don’t even think about these styles, unless you are very rich.
Wang Xiao was used to enjoying the world of Ming Dynasty, and there was nothing to be shy about. He accepted the service openly.
Such a life is indeed the gentle knife that most extinguishes a man's ambitions.
Qingwen was wearing a long moon-white embroidered lotus dress, a jade hairpin, jewelry rings and jingle. Her sideburns were slightly sweating, which was unique.
Her current identity is someone around Wang Xiao, who serves Wang Xiao for full-time service. She is similar to Ping'er's identity.
Although Wang Xifeng was very jealous and ruthless, Wang Xiao had enough shock to Qingwen before, the scene of killing people who drew his sword for Qingwen. So although he didn't like Qingwen, he didn't dare to target her.
After drinking the lotus seed soup, Wang Xiao reached out and took Qingwen into his arms.
Qingwen blushed and struggled carefully, "Don't make trouble, Ernainai will be back later."
"Don't worry about her." Wang Xiao laughed and said, "Tell me about the Yihongyuan."
