The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 704

After the officers and soldiers defeated the bandits, the magistrate Su Tao had no choice but to take the opportunity to entertain the local gentry, and the yamen servants sent posters to various prefectures with pride, and the rewards they got were worth two or three years' salary.Of course, the Lao family is indispensable.Because the post only randomly included a sentence of "carrying female relatives", Lao Yanhe used this as an excuse to find Su Cheng to find out which female relatives this "carrying female relatives" is bringing.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Of course it's the important female relatives. Madam Su is with me, so I won't go."

Lao Yanhe hurriedly asked, "Why doesn't Ms. Zhang go?"

Su Cheng said, "I don't like chattering." He thought about it again, "Will your ancestors come? I'll ask someone to prepare some sweet and soft things."

Lao Yanhe smiled and said, "Thank you Miss Zhang. She doesn't like to be lively, so I don't think she will go."

Su Cheng wondered, "Don't your grandmother like to be lively? My grandmother loves to be lively."

Lao Yan said softly, "That's not my grandmother."

Su Cheng was taken aback: "Isn't it your grandmother? Aren't ordinary ancestors all grandmothers?"

Lao Yanhe said casually: "It's a long story. My ancestor was originally from the capital, and my brother was also an official. Back then, my father was the master and begged her brother for my uncle's marriage. Because of some erroneous misunderstanding , Uncle thought that their family regretted their marriage. But at that time my grandfather was seriously ill, so he invited a priest to come to see him, and said that he must be very happy. So my uncle hurriedly married my aunt. Pianjing didn’t know about it, and sent her to marry according to the date Here we come. My ancestors understood the meaning of righteousness, and after understanding cause and effect, in order to protect my father's reputation, I worshiped my uncle as my brother and lived in the outer yard of our house as a sister. My cousin called her my aunt, and the younger generations of the whole family called her old Ancestor."

Su Cheng's eyes widened after hearing this: "This old ancestor is your god-aunt, your uncle's ex-fiancee?" Luo Yanhe nodded.Su Cheng thought for a while, "Is there such a righteous family in Beijing? Why haven't I heard of it? What's her last name?"

Lao Yanhe shook his head and said, "I don't know, no one has ever mentioned it."

"Even though she had a marriage contract with your uncle first, she is not from your family after all. Why did you say that she is in charge of your family the last two times?"

Lao Yan said softly: "Although her old man is a woman, she is like a phoenix among men."

"So that's how it is. As expected, she is as talented as she is pregnant...beads, so shiny that they can always be seen by others." Su Cheng said, "That's all. It's really not cheap for her to come out to the banquet with her status." Lao Yanhe nodded again and again.

After Su Cheng finished talking, he jumped on his horse and ran back to Su's mansion.Lao Yanhe didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said, he just casually chatted with the person he admired for a while, so he didn't tell anyone.

After listening to Su Cheng's report, Jia Cong sneered and said, "The Lao family never thought that a young lady from the capital, just to take care of your family's reputation, doesn't even want lifelong affairs? It's a misunderstanding, and I have to go back to Beijing after clarification. , Find a reason to get rid of this marriage and marry another family. Girls from officials in Beijing are all raised with money. To put it bluntly, they all want to marry out for political capital. Fame is an old maid. Unless she's a natural mirror grinder."

Chen Ruijin said indifferently: "There are too many righteous women in the book."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "That's a nonsense thank you for coaxing the fool. Only two hundred and five people like the Lao family will believe it."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "I found out that Lao Yanxiao has a younger brother named Lao Yanci, a second-class Jinshi in the imperial examination, and he will be the county magistrate in Gaoyi County of Yan State." He looked at the crowd, "If Master Su is assassinated death, it would be cheaper for this person to take over Jiangxi."

Jia Cong frowned: "A county magistrate cannot be promoted so quickly."

Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said: "Not only. There are quite a lot of stories about the Lao family. What do you think is the origin of Lao Yanhe?"

Jia Cong glared at him: "Stop talking nonsense."

Liu Xiaoqi turned her head to the side: "Statement, I didn't check before, it's not because I couldn't find out, but because I didn't suspect it to Lao's family. On the day of the war, I became suspicious of their family, so I went to investigate."

Su Cheng also said, "Where are you talking so much nonsense?"

It turns out that Lao Yanhe's identity is also a little embarrassing.His father turned out to be Lao Fuhe, Shangshu of the First Household Department.In the early years, the imperial court liquidated the rest of Prince Yizhong's family, Mrs. Lao's family was implicated, and all the men who joined the government were imprisoned.The old lady was afraid that her husband's family would be hurt, so she became a nun without telling others.She also didn't want the Lao family to marry a wife at will, so she sent a message to ask Lao Fu and another orphan girl whom she usually helped to marry as a continuation.Although Lao Fuhe had a deep bond with his old wife, he was really afraid of being implicated, so he followed Mrs. Lao's words.Unexpectedly, after two years, his father-in-law's family was safe and sound, and both father and brother were restored to their posts.That being the case, the continuation is useless.Mrs. Lao went home and continued to become a nun.No one knew that when Xu Xian was sent away, there was a dark knot in her abdomen.

That sequel is also a backbone.Anyway, the debt owed to Mrs. Lao has been paid off, so he left the nunnery prepared by the Lao family and went elsewhere.The Lao family didn't care about her either, as if they had never had this person before.After the fruit was ripe, Su Xian gave birth to a son.Out of anger, he took the word "he" from the name of his father, Lao Fu, and named his son. The two of them sounded like two brothers.When Lao Yanhe was eight years old, his mother died of illness.Before he died, thinking that his son had not been found, he left a blood book and a large package of evidence, and entrusted his sister-in-law in the nunnery to send Lao Yanhe to Lao Fuhe's house.

Lao Fu and his half-grown son didn't know what to do with it.Keep him, and spread the word to make people laugh; don't keep him, he is really his own son.Pianna Xuxian's character of running away in the early years has been worn down by the days, and a lot of resentment has arisen.A weak woman with nowhere to vent her grievances, she just whispered in her son's ear day and night that he was not allowed to change his name.Little Lao Yanhe had just lost his mother, and knew that his father and his wife were angry with his mother, so he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he would rather die than change his name.That Xuxian didn't think about it, Lao Yanhe bears a name like an uncle, obviously there is no way to be accepted in the capital's Lao Mansion.Lao Fu had no choice but to send his youngest son back to his ancestral home and entrust him to his younger brother to take care of him.

Several people were disappointed for a long time after hearing this.Jia Cong sighed: "Lao Yan and Wei Ruoheng are two bitter fruits on the same tree. If his mother took the opportunity to stay as Mrs. Lao, he would be Wei Ruolan."

Su Cheng immediately said: "Uncle Master is wrong. If Mrs. Lao's natal family collapsed, he would be Wei Ruolan... that's not right either, Lao Fu and his mother are orphans. He has no support from his family, so even if he stays in Lao The family is just mediocre. Mrs. Lao sees it better than Wei Ruoheng's mother." She thought about it again, and then she felt annoyed for no reason, and stumbled, "This is nothing! Prince Yizhong lost a game, How many people have caused trouble."

Chen Ruijin gave her a sideways look: "What's causing trouble? I don't know how many people have been wronged and lost their lives."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "In this way, Aunt Lao's strategy is very clear."

Li Guopei's army surrounded and suppressed Luoxiao Mountain in April, leaving Nanchang Mansion empty.Su Tao, the new prefect, was empty-handed because he was dismissed by the former prefect Xie Jing.The ghost messenger He Du and Li Tao sent a post to the green forest people all over the country to call them over. By April, the city should be full of bandits.In addition, a total of 4 bandits from the [-]th Route were gathered to take the opportunity to attack Nanchang Mansion.The city was broken, and Su Tao died in battle.Lao Fuhe's nephew Lao Yanci managed to fill the vacancy, and Jiangxi fell into the hands of Gu Dong's family.

Then Gu Dong's family suddenly got some news, knowing that Jia Cong and others would rush to see Mr. Su Zheng before April, fearing that something might happen.Then ordered the bandits to do it in advance.Because there were still [-] grain guards in the city, the bandit leader Xu Qi was going to wait for them to leave before attacking the city.At that time still the city
