"Jia Hui, how dare you insult me!"
A jade Ruyi flew out of the house and broke to the ground.
Jiangnan Weaving Bureau.
A middle-aged man who looked like Jia Zheng, but looked older than him, kept slapping the table and glaring at the long follower in front of him.
"No, no, sir, Mr. Jia was only nineteen a few days ago. He is still young and vigorous. Don't ruin the relationship between our two families, who have been close for generations, just because of a few brothel stewards!"
Chang Sui quickly ran to Zhen Yingjia to help him calm down.
"Old relative? Does he know that I am his elder? Those two stewards are my people?" Zhen Yingjia stared at Chang Sui closely.
"Sir, Tan Ji from the Embroidery Guard is almost becoming Jia Hui's dog, how could he not know?"
"Knowing that, you still want to break their legs? This is humiliating me!" After hearing what Chang Sui said, Zhen Yingjia became even more angry!
Ever since my compatriot sister married the Supreme Emperor and gave birth to the prince's nephew, and since I gained the Emperor's trust and served as the president of Tirenyuan, I have never suffered such grievances!
"No, sir, it's the boss who wants to die on his own!
Before letting him go, I told him that he would take whatever he could get, and Jia Hui would take whatever he gave. It's just a show, even if it's just a penny, we'll make up for the rest!
But these two are seeking death, they are probably used to being arrogant by relying on the power of our Zhen family, and they dare to say anything like "four thousand five hundred taels each, not even one copper coin" in front of the Jia family.
So who is Mr. Jia? That is a peerless man who can achieve the rank of Great General Sima!
Not chopping them up on the spot would have given us a lot of face! "
Chang Sui quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhen Yingjia. Zhen Yingjia took the tea cup and then sat back on the chair, sulking.
"How much do you get back?"
After a period of silence, Zhen Yingjia suddenly spoke.
"What?" Chang Sui didn't respond.
"I said, how much can you get back?"
"One, three thousand taels each. Later, because the two stewards were too talkative, they threw away less than three thousand taels of silver..."
After hearing this, Zhen Yingjia almost lost her temper.
Don't look at the fact that the Zhen family picked up the driver four times in total, far more than the Jia family who only picked up the driver once.
Others think that the Zhen family's honor and favor far exceed that of the Jia family, but in reality? That is the emperor showing sympathy to the Jia family!
I sympathized with my old brother and didn't want his family to spend more money, so I only went to the Jia family once, which not only gave the Jia family face, but also saved the Jia family a lot of money.
Where is his Zhen family?
I owed nearly ten million taels of money after picking up drivers four times!
It is true that the emperor is sympathetic to the Zhen family and does not allow them to borrow money from internal funds, but it is also true that he wants to pay back the money.
This all needs to be paid back!
Don't look at him spending 20,000 taels to sleep with that person without blinking an eye. But it was all a bluff, proving that the Zhen family was a powerful and prosperous Jinling family that had taken over four times!
But in reality? After playing all night for 20,000 taels, Zhen Yingjia was sore that she hadn't slept well for more than ten days and had a malignant sore on her back! It took a few days to subside.
And what I like is the widow, not this kind of bean sprouts who are only 28 years old!
This time, the small amount of money must be used to supply the following industries.
That’s nearly ten thousand taels!
"Alas..." Zhen Yingjia sighed and reached out to grab Ruyi on the table but could not catch it. Only then did she realize that her baby Ruyi had been thrown out the door and smashed to pieces.
Me, my baby Ruyi...
. . . . . .
Xia Ming on the other side is different here. At least, the steward he sent out was obedient and returned successfully with three thousand taels.
Then Xia Ming asked someone to secretly deliver a land deed worth about three thousand taels to Zhuangzi outside Jinling City, next to the Jia family's sacrificial field.
"What does he mean?" Jia Hui looked at the land deed in his hand and looked at Jia Yucun in confusion.
As Jia Hui's staff, Jia Yucun naturally had to stay with him.
"General, Eunuch Xia is afraid that you think he wants to keep a distance from you, so he sent someone to ask for the account!" Jia Yucun thought for a moment.
"Does he think I can't even see this?" Jia Hui lay on her side on the Arhat bed, rubbing her left earlobe with her left hand.
"Eunuch Xia...maybe he has his own considerations."
Jia Yucun didn't know what these eunuchs were thinking.
"Forget it, I've given you everything, just accept it. It's a courtesy, forget about the money, our family may not be richer than his. I remember that he also has a nephew from the same family who was adopted from him? He is in Zhenjiang Wei Coming, right?"
Jia Hui stood up and looked at Jia Yucun.
"Yes, Eunuch Xia's nephew is a member of a thousand households in Zhenjiang Wei." Before coming to Jinling, Jia Yucun began to do his homework. It is not a secret that Xia Ming's nephew is a member of a thousand households in Zhenjiang Wei.
"That's good, Zhenjiang Guards still lacks a commanding officer, it's him, please help me use the seal!"
"Yes!" Jia Yucun was delighted.
Having access to Jia Hui's Zuo Army Commandery Commander, it seems that he has become Jia Hui's confidant!
As the Grand Governor of the Left Army of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, he was the only one of the five Grand Governors in charge of appointment and dismissal who still had the energy to do things. Naturally, a guard can make his own decisions about who will command his affairs.
No, it’s the four chief governors. The chief governor of the Right Army retired to serve last month. Yun Yu is still in the southwest and has not returned. The remaining two old governors are also on the verge of serving. It is estimated that they will retire next year. Bar.
The current situation in the Governor's Mansion is that before Yun Yu goes back, Jia Hui's family is the dominant one.
But Jia Hui was still very restrained. Apart from removing the word "dai" from the official titles of several old subordinates and brothers, he did nothing else.
This has caused both the government and the public to praise Jia Hui for being honest and upright.
I won’t say much about why I gritted my teeth with Jia Hui in private.
Now it is just a matter of promoting a thousand households to the rank of Qianshi. It is a family matter of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Even the officials who have heard about it will not pay attention to it.
"By the way, remember to draw up a gift list for me and just give it directly to Jincai. I will go to the Zhen family after worshiping my ancestors tomorrow."
"Yes, but General, you just offended Zhenbu Yuan today, and you will go to Zhen's house tomorrow. You won't let them... think that you are going to apologize?" Jia Yucun hesitated to speak.
"It doesn't matter, the leaks in the Zhen family are like a sieve. Do you believe that I haven't even left the Zhen family, and what I do can be passed on to Tan Ji?" Jia Hui sneered, but the smile quickly disappeared. face.
The level of confidentiality in Rong Ning's Second Mansion has almost deteriorated to the level of a sieve.
Apart from killing people, there is no way to deter these thieves. But you can't kill them for no reason, otherwise they will alienate the children of this family. If a family cannot win over the loyalty of their children, then they might as well break up as soon as possible.
Therefore, there is still an opportunity to cause a big purge.
. . . . . .
Wearing full ducal sacrificial robes, he led the men from the 12th room of Jinling to salute their ancestors and told the ancestors of the Jia family, especially the great ancestor Jia Taigong, that there was another line of dukes among his descendants. !
The Liang Dynasty Juren, who was nearly forty years old and only passed the final exam, probably never thought that his blood would flow through a third-line Duke and a Jinshi from the Qi Dynasty.
The first half of Jia Taigong's life was nothing to talk about. A standard scholar tried and failed to take the exam, but he didn't take the exam again after he won the imperial examination. It's not that he doesn't want to, but Aizong's increase in taxes has greatly increased the pressure on even Juren to survive.
Apart from passing the imperial examination, there was nothing worth mentioning in his life. His only achievement was giving birth to two handsome young men, named Jia Yan and Jia Yuan.
Ever since, after the establishment of Daqi, Jia Taigong's life took a turning point.
From a juren who was on the verge of bankruptcy, he suddenly became the father of two founding fathers.
People in the world call him Xiao Jia She!
All I can say is, this is probably life.
The real "Don't bully the old and the poor"!
After a whole morning of hard work, when even Jia Hui felt a little tired, the ceremony finally came to an end.
At the banquet at noon, they just drank some rice wine. Seeing that Jia Hui was not very interested in drinking, everyone put drinking as the second priority. Having a good meal was the top priority.
In the afternoon, he took a nap to sober up, took a shower and sat in the yard, drying his hair, looking at the gift list and listening to Jia Yucun's explanation to him.
"Well, the preparations are good. Are they all loaded into the car?" Jia Hui asked after listening to Jia Yucun's report.
"Everyone has started loading the car!"
"Well..." Jia Hui closed the gift list and looked at Jia Yucun.
"What do you think I should wear? More formal or more casual?"
"General, after all, you are using the greeting card to visit the holy lady, so it would be better to wear the consecrated robes.
But after all, they are old relatives, and it can be regarded as a family dinner. It is not good to be too formal. The student thinks that the gold-woven narrow-sleeved round collar is very good.
It’s regular wear and it has the red bird pattern given by the Emperor. It’s just right! "
"Well, that's it."
Jia Yucun immediately resigned.
. . . . . .
Jiangnan Zhen's House is located on the left side of Taiping Street on the west side of the palace. It is quite impressive.
They had already sent in their greetings yesterday, so all the men of the Zhen family, big and small, came to the gate to greet the arrival of Grand Sima General Jia Hui.
Zhen Yingjia also stood in the queue with an expressionless face, but she was always reluctant in her heart.
But there is no way, we have to wait.
"Master, why hasn't Jia Hui come yet?" A member of the Zhen family's clan came to Zhen Yingjia's side.
The Zhen family was used to being overbearing in Jinling, and now they are not used to waiting for others.
"What? You want me to pick up Jia Hui's collar and drag him over to you? Do I have this ability? If I have this ability, then I should be the Commander-in-Chief!
Also, you can either call him the Governor, the General, or Mr. Jia. How can you, a white person with no fame, deserve to call him by his first name? "
Zhen Yingjia's tone was calm.
The clansman who just wanted to complain in front of Zhen Yingjia so as to impress the head of the family made a big fool of himself. He could vaguely hear the sneers appearing next to him, and quickly covered his face with his sleeves and retreated into the team. .
Soon, a huge guard of honor appeared in front of them.
The three big flags, the Black Tiger Flag, the Jia Zi Ya Flag and the Suzaku Flag, were carried on the shoulders of three strong men, fluttering in the wind.
Following closely behind were more than two hundred knights wearing dark red mandarin duck battle coats and battle skirts, with swords on their waists, big bows and quivers hanging on their saddles, holding various weapons, and proudly holding their heads high. Heading towards Zhen's house.
In the center of the team, a carriage with four drivers was driving smoothly down the street. The four tall maroon war horses with shiny hair, without a trace of hair, looked like one of the best horses in a million.
Even though they were more than 300 steps apart, the murderous aura exuded by this team still made the Zhen family members take a breath and tremble.
These are the Suzaku Cavalry who followed Great Sima General Jia Hui to destroy the two countries!
As the records of the civilian officials accompanying the army were successively adapted into various folk art works by Jiaofangsi, Jia Hui truly became famous all over the world, and already had the reputation of "the best general of the dynasty". Even his personal soldiers The team is called "Suzaku Cavalry" by those who do good things.
At first, the Zhen family members still didn't believe it. Just look at the Twelfth-fang clan members in Jinling to see what the Jia family's virtues were. With their ruined faces, the clan members in Beijing must be similar. How could such a person exist?
But when Jia Hui and his soldiers actually appeared in front of them, the pride the Zhen family brought them was worthless in front of this cavalry that seemed to be able to overwhelm everything.
This is what a top noble should really look like!
Zhen Yingjia also looked at the team still standing in front of him with a complicated expression.
The president of the Tirenyuan, the brother of the emperor's favorite concubine, the Zhen family, which was not even allowed to own a soldier or general, was completely suppressed and unable to hold up its head in front of this group of top nobles who really valued their military merits. The pride of the Holy Lady was torn to pieces by this group of brutal killers.
Sighing, basic etiquette still needs to be observed.
"Your Majesty, Zhen Yingjia from the Jiangnan Weaving Department, sincerely welcomes the arrival of the Governor!"
After saying that, he leaned down and bowed down. The Zhen family members behind him also followed suit and bowed down.
"Caomin (students) (lower officials) respectfully welcome the Governor!"
Taiping Street fell into silence. After five or six breaths, a young but majestic voice came from the four-wheeled ancient car.
"We are all old relatives, why should we be so polite? Everyone, get up!"
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"
Zhen Yingjia thanked him first and stood up, and then the tribesmen behind him straightened up after him.
The quality of the Zhen family is much better than that of the Twelve Fangs in Jinling! The movements of getting up were neat and uniform, without the Jia family's one-and-done posture at all.
Hu Jiu jumped off the carriage, pulled out a small wooden staircase from the mezzanine, and placed it at the exit.
At this time, a maid in the carriage used a short forked pole supported by sandalwood to gently lift the door curtain embroidered with the flapping wings of the red bird, and the invincible general appeared in front of everyone in the Zhen family.
At this time, they had completely lost their previous dignity. They lowered their heads respectfully and did not dare to look at the noble man. It was just like the way those low-minded people on Jinling Street met them with their heads bowed and bent over.
Boom, boom, boom…
The heavy footsteps seemed to be stepping on their chests, and they did not dare to take a breath. The pressure from the front pressed tightly on their necks, making them unable to move.
Finally, the noble man stopped.
"Haha, Uncle Shi, we said goodbye last night. How are you doing?"
Jia Hui suddenly laughed softly, grabbed Zhen Yingjia's hands familiarly, held them together, and patted them gently.
"Nothing's wrong. The Grand Governor has been demoted. How can he be called the Grand Governor... Uncle Shi..." Zhen Yingjia also answered stiffly.
Yesterday, Guo Biao, Deng Yuan and Xia Mingzhu accompanied Jia Hui, but Zhen Yingjia, who was already not interested in Jia Hui, did not join him. But today I discovered that Jia Hui’s body shape is really oppressive!
With a strong but not bloated body, a height of more than six feet, and a layer of fat that makes him appear broad and round, Zhen Yingjia felt that if he closed the door, this man could wipe out the entire Zhen family by himself.
Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about?
"Uncle Shi, what are you talking about? Our old lady Feng Sheng, Hui is so willing to say this to Uncle Shi!"
Jia Hui still said with a smile.
If you are really willing, don't look at me so coldly!
"Haha...haha, then, I'm going to be a lower-ranking official, so I'm ashamed..." Zhen Yingjia, who was stared at by Jia Hui in horror, spoke incoherently.
But after all, he has been the president of Tirenyuan for many years, and at least he has mastered the art of regulating his emotions.
Take a deep breath.
"Come, Grand Governor, it's getting late. Don't keep the old lady waiting for a long time. Please come to the palace!"
Jia Hui still smiled and nodded.
"That's it, Uncle Shi, please!"
