In the Rongqing Hall, the mother and son were talking. Jia Mu glared at Jia She and said, "It's enough to talk about this here. How can any elder expect misfortune for the younger members of the clan? How can this be done?" The sign of merit?"
"How did he ever think of me as an elder?" Jia She snorted coldly and said.
"Okay, okay." When Jia Mu saw the gloomy and surly face, she felt a little unhappy and waved her hand.
At this moment, Lin Zhixiao's family walked around the screen and came closer to report: "Old lady, eldest master, uncle Heng is here."
When Jia Mu heard this, her face straightened and she said, "Let him come in."
No matter what, she still wanted to give her some advice later. If you don't just stay at home and enjoy the blessings, do you have to follow the army to suppress the bandits?
Not long after, Jia Heng walked in from the outside and entered the Rongqing Hall. He saw Jia She on the side, pretended not to see him, raised his hands to Jia's mother who was sitting above him, and said: "Old lady, why are you calling Heng? "
As for the young man's behavior of not being polite to Jia She, Jia's mother also pretended not to notice. She pointed to the chair nearby, forced a smile on her brother's face, and said: "Brother Heng, sit down, I have something to tell you."
Jia Heng looked indifferent and sat on a chair nearby, looking at Jia Mu calmly.
Mother Jia looked at the calm young man in green shirt, thought for a moment, and said: "Brother Rong is here too at this moment. In terms of seniority, he can also be regarded as your nephew, even though I am crazy. I’m going to harm you, but thinking about it, I can’t implicate Brother Rong, right?”
"Old lady, you might as well speak more clearly." Su Zhao said as he took the tea from Yuanyang and placed it on the small table beside him.
Jia Mu, who was interrupted by her "clandestine talk", was startled for a moment and said: "Okay, then I might as well open the skylight and speak frankly. Brother Rong is not young anymore, and he has reached the age of marriage. If you want money, you are now in charge of Dongfu, and I heard that Gongzhong Yinliang still has fifty or sixty thousand taels."
"Old lady, it's fifty-four thousand eight hundred and twenty-one taels." Jia Heng's eyes were calm and he said in a clear voice: "This is the silver that the great master has counted, and the saint in the palace has sealed it with the angel."
Jia Mu's expression paused and she said, "What... do you mean?"
Jia Heng said: "It is true that these silver taels are from the public, but they should also be used by the public. Yesterday, when Heng held a banquet for the clan men, he said when he was a child that he would allocate money to build a clan school and hire famous teachers. This requires about ten thousand taels of silver, and with the need to replenish it every year, the money will only last three to five years. As for Brother Rong's marriage, according to the custom of the clan, I will seal it with two hundred taels. As a congratulatory gift..."
"What are you talking about? You inherited the entire Duke's family business, and you only get two hundred taels. How can this be possible?" Jia She listened to the side, but couldn't help but cut off the words and accused him.
Jia Rong also had an ugly face, looking at Jia Heng with cold eyes, and thought to herself, "Two hundred taels, where are the beggars?"
Jia Heng said loudly: "When I got married, I organized all kinds of banquets and bought gifts, but only two hundred taels! Why can't I give Brother Rong two hundred taels to get married? As for the words of pardon for the master, I am sincere I beg to differ. The Ningguo Mansion was built by decree! The Ministry of Household Affairs allocates money to prepare for its construction. Now that I live in the Ningguo Mansion, it is not an inheritance! This is a reward from the emperor."
"Where are the farms and shops?" Jia She said coldly: "These are all accumulated by Brother Rong's family."
Jia Heng sneered and said sarcastically: "The farm and shop have been sealed by the emperor's golden words. Whether the silver produced can be used is still a matter of debate. Of course, if Master Pardon is not convinced, just go to the emperor and ask for advice."
In fact, the imperial edict did not include any instructions regarding the unfreezing of farms and shops, but it gave Jia Heng de facto control.
Because the profits produced by the farms and shops must be delivered to the public house, and the public treasury can only be managed by Jia Heng as the clan leader.
That is equivalent to having been transferred to Jia Heng.
Besides, even if this issue is not mentioned, the wealth in the East Mansion is not the turn of the West Mansion to make irresponsible remarks.
Jia's mother had a headache when she heard this, waved her hands, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, the farm and shop have been sealed up, now Brother Heng can try to make some changes and arrangements, it's not easy anymore, don't say anything else. .”
"What the old lady said is the truth." Jia Heng said with cupped hands.
"Brother Heng, your Dongfu must provide some silver taels for Brother Rong's wedding. Two hundred taels is real... You are not afraid of gossiping about you, the patriarch of the clan." Mother Jia frowned and said.
Jia Heng said calmly: "Two hundred taels is enough. Nowadays, the East and West mansions are obsessed with eating and drinking. I can't control the old lady's West mansion, but the daily expenses of the East mansion must not be as lavish as in the past."
As the saying goes, if something is not kept secret, it will cause harm. He will not let the news out in advance to rectify the Lai family to prevent him from transferring his property, but when he returns from Cuihua Mountain, he will be the first to attack the Lai family!
Jia She sneered and said: "You come from a small family and you don't know what you are doing. You just say things like this that are not worthy of publicity. How many relatives do we have in the Jia family? During festivals, greetings and send-offs, which one does not require money? ? Well, that’s right, you have no official position, no salary, and you’re sitting on nothing, so naturally you have to plan carefully, dig and swish!”
Hearing these harsh words, Jia Mu glared at Jia She, just sighed and said, "If Brother Heng were that pick-and-swish person, he wouldn't have spent ten thousand taels of silver to establish a clan school. "
"Invitation can buy people's hearts, who can't?" Jia Rong said coldly at this time.
When Jia Mu heard this, her face paused slightly and she glanced at Jia Rong in surprise.
Jia Heng squinted his eyes, his stern gaze passed over Jia Rong's delicate face, looked directly into Jia Rong's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "When your father was here, if you had bought people's hearts and minds to love the clan, you would be in prison today. What disaster? If you were to buy the hearts and minds of the Jia clan to rebuild the family culture and invite famous teachers to teach you the arts of civil and military affairs, would you not be able to achieve the civil and military skills you have now? Besides, do you think that the hearts and minds of the old and young men of the Jia clan cannot be bought with just ten thousand taels of silver? Bought it? Ignorance, stupidity! People are incompetent. If you don’t show your heart to your heart, how can you buy it with a small favor? "
Jia Rong's face was pale, and she was speechless by the young man's aggressive words, and she didn't dare to look at the sharp eyes with a hint of evil.
Jia Heng said coldly: "You lost your title and lost your wealth because of your father's crime, or you thought it was because of me, so you felt resentful. However, your father's bold behavior caused the disaster of falling from the sky. At that time, father and son were sitting together. , can you still live here and talk to me?"
After saying that, he put down the tea cup with a loud bang, stood up suddenly, pressed the sword in his hand, and stared at Jia Rong condescendingly like a tiger or wolf.
As a border guard in his previous life, Jia Heng had killed people before. How could a young man wallowing in rouge stop his sudden violent outburst?
Jia Rong was immediately frightened and fell down from the chair. His handsome and delicate face was as pale as frost.
"You are as brave as a mouse, but you dare to harbor resentment!" Jia Heng glanced at Jia Rong indifferently, and then looked at Jia She, who had a gloomy face. "If you are not afraid of death, just come and harm me!"
Jia She's heart trembled and he looked away.
Jia Hengfang sat down, but Jia Mu, who rushed up to her, cupped her hands and remained silent.
Mother Jia's face was already turning green and red. She looked at Jia Rong, who was sitting paralyzed in fear, and then glanced at Jia Heng, who was still there, and sighed in her heart.
Just like the first time she met Jia Heng, she felt that the young man really looked like the two princes, so she felt soft and did not speak for Brother Zhen at that time.
Jia Mu's mandarin duck also looked at the boy blankly.
When the Rongqing Hall fell into an eerie silence, Lin Zhixiao suddenly entered the Rongqing Hall quickly and said happily: "Old lady, madam, the angel in the palace came to deliver the message. I didn't meet Uncle Heng in the East Mansion. Now he's here." I'm in the Western Mansion, and it's said that the Holy Master wants to give Uncle Heng a favor, and he has been promoted to the fourth rank of official rank and is enjoying a salary."
Jia Mu and Jia She: "..."
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, his expression remained calm.
"With the reputation of Cijue Biao, the emperor wanted to favor him from above and below, but no one cared about it. However, with the reward of a fourth-grade famous vessel, the emperor could only go as far as he wanted."
Jia Heng thought for a while, stood up, cupped his hands to Jia Mu who was stunned, and said: "Old lady, the Holy Father has commanded you not to be negligent. Heng goes out to greet her."
Jia Mu also reacted and said eagerly: "I'll go and have a look too."
With that said, with Yuanyang's support, he stood up from the chair, surrounded by servants and maids, and walked towards the outside of Rongqing Hall.
Jia She looked ugly. He just said that Jia Heng's son had no official position and no position. In the blink of an eye, the emperor gave him an official position and raised him with a generous salary. It was simply unreasonable!
In a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of Jia Rong slumped on the ground. He felt annoyed and couldn't help but cursed: "Trash!"
When Jia Rong heard the scolding, he seemed to be reminded of the scene of being beaten and scolded by Jia Zhen in Ningguo Mansion. He raised his bloodshot eyes and moved his lips, but saw that Jia She had already turned around and walked away.
"I'm not a waste! You all just wait for me, wait..."
Jia Rong's facial features were almost distorted, and she felt a sense of resentment filling her heart.
Hate Jia Zhen, hate Jia Heng, hate Jia She...
Not to mention Jia Rong's incompetence and rage, but Jia Heng's expression was calm. He left Rongqing Hall and was about to see Dai Quan when he suddenly saw several Yingying Yanyan coming from the corridor, talking and laughing. Had a face-to-face meeting.
The woman who was first measuring Miao Xiu, holding a hookah handkerchief and covering her mouth with a sweet smile, saw Jia Heng, her bright eyes froze under her smokey eyebrows, she said softly "Ah", and wanted to hide away, but for a moment Unable to avoid it, I had to turn aside.
Tan Chun, who was talking to Xichun behind him, heard the sound and looked up, only to see a pair of sharp, calm eyes looking towards him.
When their eyes met, Tanchun's heart skipped a beat, and Xia Fei's cheeks flashed.
Jia Heng glanced at Daiyu, Baoyu, Tanchun, and Xichun, nodded at them, and stepped forward across the threshold to a courtyard outside.
"It's Uncle Heng, he has such a sharp gaze." Tan Chun pursed his lips and murmured, thinking, he is indeed a decisive killer.
Daiyu was silent for a moment and said, "He just came out of his grandmother's house."
Eight words suddenly appeared in Daiyu's mind. Her eyes were sharp and she didn't dare to look at them.
Baoyu frowned and said, "I don't know what will happen again."
While they were talking, a group of people came from the Rongqing Hall, but it was Jia Mu, supported by Yuanyang and other maids and servants. When she saw Baoyu, Daiyu and others, she said warmly: "Why are you here? First." Come to my room, angels are coming to the palace, don’t run around."
Saying that, without having time to elaborate, he walked towards the door.
Daiyu and Tanchun looked at each other and said softly: "Let's take a look behind the door."
On this side of the room, Jia Heng has met Dai Quan again. The internal minister of the Ming Dynasty is still dressed in brocade robes and arrogant, surrounded by internal guards holding swords.
Dai Quan smiled and said, "Jia Heng accepts the order."
Because it was an oral edict, there was no imperial edict.
"Jia Heng, a common man, accepts the order."
Dai Quan's high-pitched voice also fell on the ears of Jia Mu who followed him, "According to the Holy Spirit's oral instructions, Jia Heng is a virtuous and virtuous man who can obey others. When he arrived in Ning Kingdom, he was compassionate to his children and friendly to his clan. I sincerely wish to express my sincere condolences. I will give you the title of Jin Yiwei Commander, enjoy the fourth-grade salary, and give you a Feiyu waist badge, which can be passed to the palace for audience. I admire this."
In the distance, Mother Jia listened to this instruction and stared at the young man who was talking to the eunuch. For a moment, her mood was complicated.

Jia Heng had just resigned from the title of third-class general, and in the blink of an eye he had received a fourth-class official title, with a salary, as a holy family member in the palace... It can be seen that this has caught the eye of the emperor.
You can pass the sign to the palace to meet the saint, what a blessing it is.
"Jia Ziyu," Dai Quan smiled and said, "This is the official uniform, the bodyguard, and the waist badge. Your Majesty knows that you are going to take the imperial examination, so there is no need to go to the Jinyi Guards Mansion to enrich your position."
Jia Heng looked at the wooden tray held by the inner guard aside, which contained official uniforms, high waists, waist badges and other items, with a calm expression.
Seeing the young man's unfazed look, Dai Quan secretly nodded in his mind, took a step closer, lowered his voice and said, "The Holy One was a little worried when he heard that you were going to Cuihua Mountain to suppress the bandits, so he assigned two internal guards to protect you and serve you at your disposal. "
