Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion

The Lantern Festival is here in a blink of an eye!

It was the lively Lantern Festival again, and the entire back house of Rong Mansion once again came together to have a great time at the Lantern Festival.

I heard, just heard, that Sanchun and Lin Daiyu, as well as Shi Xiangyun who was brought specially from the historian's family, and Jia Baoyu and their group of friends, competed in guessing lantern riddles at the lively lantern festival.

Each one of them had quick thinking and talent, which made the old lady smile from ear to ear.

Even the accompanying Mr. Zheng Er heard the wonderful process of the children guessing lantern riddles, and he smiled and nodded in appreciation.

It's a pity that it is impossible for such a lively Jia Huan and a transparent person like Jia Cong to participate.

Even if Mr. Zheng Er acquiesces, the old lady and Mrs. Wang will not let the two brothers get in front of Jia Baoyu smoothly. Out of sight, out of mind.

Fortunately, the two brothers didn't care and came to the small martial arts hall early to nest.

This place is also quite popular. A group of disciples including Jia Qiang came here. Jia Huan specially spent money to get a few tables. Everyone was eating and drinking and it was quite lively.

By the way, let Ni Er and the others watch outside to avoid any accidents on the street.

As a result, Jia Huan was speechless. Ni Er and his group actually captured three groups of more than a dozen flower-making gangs, all of whom were new faces.

Sure enough, if there is a profit, there will be guys who are not afraid of death and rush forward!

This does not include petty theft and other evildoers.

It can only be said that the deterrent effect of the Mid-Autumn Festival has gradually dissipated now.

Jia Huan didn't say much and directly ordered Ni Er and the others to send the people to the Xicheng command post.

When the show was about to end, the commander of the Xicheng Command Post and several deputy commanders who were able to escape rushed over to express their gratitude, and by the way, they demonstrated their ability to drink wine as water.

Obviously, the other party attaches great importance to maintaining a good relationship with Jia Huan.

Not to mention Jia Huan's status as a guest in Ningrong Street at this time, he can be of great help to them.

After all, the most beautiful place under the emperor's feet, Xicheng is also a famous gathering place for the powerful. Maintaining good public security order and environment is a very important responsibility of the Xicheng command post.

As long as you do well, the merits and deeds at the top and bottom will be clearly visible to the powerful, and promotion and wealth will be a matter of course.

You know, in the past, during the big festival every year, Xicheng would always lose a few children from powerful families, which caused a lot of trouble for the officers and soldiers of the Xicheng command post, but with no good results.

It's better now. With Jia Huan directing the green-skinned gangsters on the street to cooperate, the pressure on them is much lighter.

At least, the collection of Jianghu news is much better than before.

In addition, Jia Huan was born in Rongfu after all, and everyone at the Xicheng Command Post did not dare to neglect him.

Through the connection with Sihai Gambling House, they are still an indirect interest alliance, so the relationship must be maintained well.

After the Lantern Festival, a rumor suddenly spread in the backyard of Rong Mansion and spread like wildfire.

The head branch of the Xue family, one of the four major families in Jinling, went to Beijing.

According to the rumors, they will come to Rong Mansion to visit soon.

Such rumors even covered up the conflicts between Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng and the Lai family for a time, and the momentum can be said to be quite alarming.

Haha, this is paving the way for the Xue family and his party to stay in Rong Mansion.

Others didn't know what was going on, they just thought that the second wife, Mrs. Wang, was interested in her relatives, but Jia Huan knew for sure that she had brought her whole family to defect.

With Mrs. Wang’s temperament, I don’t know how much money she received in private?

Just around the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Wang Ziteng took over as the governor of nine provinces and went to inspect major border towns, leaving only his wife and children behind at his mansion in the capital.

Obviously, the deterrent power of the palace at this time is no longer enough to protect the huge property brought by the Xue family.

Only Rong Mansion, which is still in the afterglow of its peak, has such strength and status.

In order to protect the property in their hands and their quota as imperial merchants, the Xue family's mother and daughter had no choice but to act this way.

Mrs. Wang is also cooperating. Even before the Xue family members arrive in the capital, they are helping to build momentum in the mansion!

Jia Huan just watched happily, with no idea of ​​getting involved.

When Xue Pan, the idiot king, comes to Beijing, he will naturally go to the clan school to report, and he will be good to watch.

If you want to be the king of your clan, just dream!

Rumors are flying all over the house, and they are not stopping outside either.

The weather seems to be a bit abnormal this year. Although the weather is cold in early spring, it has not snowed in a month, let alone a drop of rain.

Clearly, there seems to be signs of drought in the first half of this year!

No, word has spread in the streets of the capital, and all kinds of rumors are rampant. In short, people have heard it, and it is like Daqian Dynasty Pills.

It seems that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, refugees were everywhere and the country was in turmoil again.

In fact, that's not the case at all.

At this time, the Daqian Dynasty had only experienced four or five emperors. It was still in the middle of the dynasty and had not even reached its peak. How could it enter the end of the dynasty so quickly?

It's just that some people are powerful and want to fish in troubled waters and reap benefits!

He has quite a few rogues in the market, and he is quite familiar with some of the market conditions.

For example, the price of food in the capital has increased recently, and Jia Huan discovered it immediately.

Considering what happened in the court, what else is unclear?

The imperial court was naturally aware of the abnormal weather problem.

Naturally, the current emperor and court officials have to start counting the inventory in the warehouse to see how many victims and areas can be supported, so as not to be caught off guard?

The result was naturally not very satisfactory. Some official warehouses were emptied by Shuoshu. The situation was very serious.

Then came the scene where the emperor was furious, a large number of officials were decapitated, and the imperial envoys were dispatched urgently for detailed investigation, which provided the people of the capital with some after-dinner talk.

You have to ask, why does Jia Huan know so much and so clearly?

The main thing is that his hard work has finally yielded the most fruitful results!

When Mr. Zheng was discussing these matters with the Qing guests in Mengpo Zhai, the big study, he did not deliberately avoid Jia Huan, which meant that he allowed Jia Huan to participate.

It's not that the second master Zheng is really so reasonable, but that several Qingke ministers he has made friends with help to negotiate the matter, and Jia Huan also shows his own value.

He can provide timely market news, the most important of which is the price fluctuations of various daily necessities.

This is something that not even the Qingke ministers can do easily.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are closely related to people's lives. Once price fluctuations occur, there must be problems in some places and aspects.

Combined with the court information provided by Mr. Zheng Er, most things can be understood at a glance.

Not only that, Jia Huan also showed his talent in reading history. He was able to compare what was happening now with some very similar things in history books, which gave Mr. Zheng a novel perspective and was really helpful.
