Qingta Temple, at the entrance of Wutiao Hutong.

Liu Laoshi's family heard from Jia Yun last night that Jia Qiang was going south today, and they were so shocked that they couldn't sleep well all night.

Seeing Jia Qiang coming back early in the morning, Liu Laoshi changed his usual reticent attitude and asked hurriedly: "Why are you going south?"

Aunt Chun also felt that it was unusual, because she knew that Jia Qiang was still planning the Taiping Guild Hall, so why was he leaving Beijing so soon?

In this era, especially for ordinary people, it is common for people to think that they are low-income people when they leave their hometown.

Death in a foreign country is the tragic event that relatives are most worried about and concerned about.

Jia Qiang did not answer in a hurry, but waved back. At this time, Xiang Ling came stomping in carrying two bags.

A shy and slightly shy face, as clean as water, with a confused look in the eyes, a little timid.

Liu Laoshi's family has been working in the dock for decades. Even Liu Laoshi, although he is honest, it can be seen that he suffers more when there are too many people. He has also developed some eyesight. Just by looking at Xiangling's face and eyes, you can tell that he is an honest person.

Because of this, I immediately felt close to him and asked Jia Qiang with a smile: "This is..."

Jia Qiang said warmly: "Uncle, these are the people in my room. They will follow me in the future, but I haven't had time to change the roster yet."

In this era, the people in the house are the same as the concubine, and the difference between the concubine and the concubine is only one name.

The so-called name change means going to the Yamen Gate Room to change your name and register.

Dayan was different from the previous dynasty in that concubines also needed to be registered in the Yamen registry, and concubines who gave birth to children were also eligible to divide the family property.

But there is no need for Tongfang. Tongfang can be given away and bought at will...

But no matter what, the "people in the room" are already my own family members.

Liu Laoshi, Aunt Chun, Liu Da Niu and others were naturally very happy. Liu Da Niu smiled and pulled Xiang Ling, who had a blushing face and lowered her head, and started chatting with Aunt Chun.

Liu Laoshi was so excited that the corners of his eyes were wet. He looked at Jia Qiang and said with emotion: "Brother Qiang, I didn't expect that you are about to get married. If your mother is still here... well, don't mention this. It's just that you must

Do you want to leave Beijing and go to Southern Province? Brother Qiang, now that you have enough money at home, you have owned a big house and taken in the people in the house. Live a good life..."

Jia Qiang chuckled and said: "Uncle, everything we have now is obtained by fighting for it. It's not that my nephew likes to fight, it's that in this world, if you don't fight, others will not tolerate you living well. Therefore, the dignity we want to have,

Don't be bullied, don't kowtow to others, just work hard. But this time I went to Beijing not to fight with anyone. The old leader of the Jinsha Gang is dying. The young leader heard that I know something about Western doctors, so he

She asked me to accompany her to Jinmen to seek medical treatment. Unexpectedly, an uncle of the Jia family was also seriously ill, so she asked me to go to Yangzhou to find a doctor to rescue her. So Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion was also accompanying her.

.”

Liu Laoshi was a little shocked when he heard this. Firstly, he was shocked that Jia Qiang actually knew a Western doctor and gained the trust of the young leader of the Jinsha Gang. Secondly, he was shocked by Jia Qiang's determination towards the Jia family.

He knew that Jia Lian was the official successor of Rongguo Mansion in the future, so Jia Qiang should be respectfully addressed as Uncle Lian.

Who would have thought that he would be called by his first name.

Originally Liu Laoshi wanted to persuade him, but he knew that his nephew had a very good idea and it would be useless to persuade him casually, so he just told him to be careful when going out.

After her uncle's family settled things down, Jia Qiang looked at Jia Yun and asked, "Is everything straightened out?"

Jia Yun took a deep breath, nodded and said: "The Jinsha Gang had gone through a bloodbath before, and the two elders Zhang and Hong were both veteran heroes of the Jinsha Gang, so they were able to control the situation and sent four gang members to join them.

Protect me secretly. I have written down all the other things as you said. Over at the Taiping Guild Hall, I will find someone to do a good job. Brother Qiang, come back soon."

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "I know... By the way, if someone from Dongsheng gives money, you can give 20,000 taels to Brother Xue, he will be of great use. You can use the remaining 10,000 taels. I will go to Jiangnan."

, will also send people to bring money. One more thing, the Hengsheng Wang family will send some Lehu from the Jiaofang Division to the Taiping Guild Hall. You have made an agreement with Aunt Sun and the others. If I don’t come back, they will not be allowed to see a man, that is, Xue

Big brother and Feng Ziying are not good either. Remember?"

Jia Yun, whose expression changed several times, nodded and said, "I remember."

Jia Qiang said "hmm" and said with a smile: "Don't put too much pressure on me. Just do your job well and the sky will not fall. Can I take over?"

In order to prevent some members of the Jia family from carrying out Cao Mengde's old plan to rob Xu Shu's mother, Jia Qiang had previously persuaded Jia Yun to take his mother to the Jinsha Gang.

Jia Yun smiled bitterly and said: "I did take it, but my mother was not very happy, and she didn't want to be idle. She helps people on Taiping Street every day."

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "It's not a bad thing to do some work. After being busy for so many years, it's easy to get tired when you have some time off. As long as you don't feel tired, that's fine."

After Jia Yun thanked her, she asked, "Should Uncle Honest and the others take it seriously?"

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "Even if the Jia family has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, they will not dare to bully them."

Not only the Jia family, but also the Supreme Emperor is clearly protecting Jia Qiang. Liu Laoshi's family is probably the safest people in the world right now.

"Brother Yun, I predict that only half of the cases with the prescription will go smoothly. If the Dongsheng Zhao family honestly gives the money, after you give them the prescription, give them the secret copy in this tips bag as well.

them."

With that said, Jia Qiang took out an azure-colored brocade bag from her sleeve pocket and said in a low voice: "This brocade bag is extremely important. If Zhao Jiahuangtang is obsessed with it and uses a moth to seize the prescription, or,

If you use the shameless people in Dongfu to force you to get something, you can just give them the recipe, but you have to burn the tip bag directly. Don't fight with them. If you fight with them, you will definitely suffer losses. After they leave, you will immediately

I moved my aunt to the Marquis' Mansion in Huai'an and waited for news. When that bastard found out something was wrong and came to visit, I asked Elder Hong to tell them that I have the other half of the secret recipe, and asked them to go south to Yangzhou to find it.

But this time, I have to bring fifty thousand taels of silver, remember?"

Jia Yun was a little confused after hearing this, and said: "Brother Qiang, will the Zhao family go...will they go to Xundong Mansion to come forward?"

Jia Qiang sneered and said: "Never overestimate other people's bottom line. Brother Yun, I will write to Hua'an, the Marquis of Huai'an. If they cause trouble, you will send your mother to his house, and you will also hide there."

Stay out of the limelight and remember not to go back to Jia’s house!”

…

After saying goodbye to her family one by one, Xiangling also had an extra bracelet on her wrist. Although it was far less precious than the jewelry she saw at the Xue family, Han Xiangling felt like a treasure, protecting her wrist with joy.

Home, a warm home, a home that treats her as a relative rather than a slave, is extremely precious to Xiang Ling, who has been wandering and being beaten for as long as she can remember.

"Get in the carriage, we're ready to go."

Outside the door, Jia Qiang said warmly to Xiang Ling.

Xiangling responded with "Hey", but first put the baggage in the carriage, then turned around and kowtowed three times to Liu Laoshi and Aunt Chun.

This knock made the second master burst into tears. Xiangling stood up, her eyes filled with tears, but she tightened her lips and swore: "I will definitely take good care of the second master!"

Seeing this scene, Jia Qiang's heart was slightly disturbed.

To be honest, he doesn't really have much affection for Liu Laoshi's family at the moment.

The purpose of recognizing them is purely to clear away the name of unfilial piety in the future.

In this world where even the Holy Emperor must govern the world with filial piety, the crime of "disobedience and unfilial piety" is an extremely heinous crime.

Therefore, Jia Qiang must be on guard against the rest of the Jia family turning their backs on each other.

And if he can support his uncle's family, and then Liu Laoshi and Aunt Chun will speak for him, the situation will become very different.

However, as we got along for a long time, and they both took great care of themselves, and Jia Qiang was not a hard-hearted person, it was inevitable that she would gradually become closer to Liu Laoshi's family.

He looked at Liu Laoshi, Aunt Chun, and Liu Da Niu holding a small stone, and said warmly: "Let's all go back. I'm traveling to the south of the Yangtze River. It's the most beautiful and prosperous place in the world, isn't it?

Go to the border to guard the border. I will be back in half a year."

After that, without further ado, he stepped onto the carriage.

Tietou and Zhuzhuyin drove the carriage to the Jinsha Gang.

After arriving at Jinsha Gang and delivering Xiangling to Li Jing, and after agreeing to meet at the dock and on the boat, Jia Qiang rushed to Rongguo Mansion.

After all, nominally, he is still a member of the Jia family.
