Prince Zhongshun's Mansion
“Crack!!!”
The tea cup in his hand was abandoned on the ground and smashed into pieces.
At this moment, Qi Guan and other actors on the stage had already heard the noise and stopped babbling.
After hearing what the Palace Chief Shi said, King Zhongshun laughed angrily, with a fierce look in his eyes, and said: "What a commander of Dongcheng, what a Jia family! I am the brother of the emperor, and I am not even looked down upon by them!"
The concubine Wu was also frightened by the fierce expression of King Zhongshun at this moment. Her voice of bitterness was stagnated and she said weakly: "Your Majesty, Rui'er is in prison now and needs to be rescued quickly."
King Zhongshun's expression changed, he suppressed the anger surging in his heart, thinking about the pros and cons, and said in a deep voice: "Let Rui'er suffer for half a month first, I have other plans."
Concubine Wu: "..."
You didn't do anything, so why were you so angry just now?
Concubine Wu said: "Your Majesty, if I don't report this to the Holy One in the palace, I won't believe it, and the Holy One will allow others to bully our Rui'er."
King Zhongshun said coldly: "Jia Heng's son just won a lottery a few days ago. He is in the limelight. The Holy One still relies on him, so he should not be touched lightly."
If Jia Heng could be moved, he would have done so directly, instead of attacking the Xue family first, venting his anger and testing the Jia family's reaction.
At this moment, a young man came in from the outside, stood beside the beams and curtains, and winked at Zhou Changshi. It was clear that something was wrong.
Zhou Changshi came out of the hall, listened to what the young man said, his face changed, and he turned around and reported: "Your Majesty, I asked someone to find out the news from the prison in the east city. The young prince is competing with Princess Xianning to buy a horse." Ma, General Yunhui came with Princess Xianning and picked up the young prince without any explanation."
Concubine Wu exclaimed in shock: "Your Majesty, how come there is something about Xianning involved here?
King Zhongshun also had a look of shock on his face, and after a moment he said: "Why are Rui'er acting so nonsense!"
Now, even if he went to the palace to complain, he could not complain.
Zhou Changshi rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not."
"Speak." King Zhongshun said coldly.
Zhou Changshi said: "The lower official thought that detaining the young prince was just a warning from the Jia family. Although the young prince and Princess Xianning had a dispute, they would not throw him into prison. The Jia family made a fuss about it and returned the favor by the way. After selling a good son in the palace, even if the prince finds him in the palace, it will not help, and it may even make Long Yan displeased."
When King Zhongshun heard this, he looked thoughtful and looked at Concubine Wu on the side. He said, "The Jia family's child got the opportunity and bared his teeth at me. This is to make me look disgusted in front of the Holy Master, but I will not be fooled by him."
Not long ago, he got news that Qiu Liang, whom he had spent a lot of effort to have some friendship with, was actually sent to Peiping, and the mastermind behind the scenes was Jia Heng's son!
Zhou Changshi pondered and said: "My lord, the four families of Jia Shi, Wang Xue and Xue have always been in the same spirit. They were all prosperous and all suffered losses. After the war, the Wang family was half dead and the Jia family's reputation increased greatly. Although the Jia and Wang families were fighting for the capital, There are cracks in the military power of the camp, but the two families still fight without breaking up, and judging from this posture, it seems that the Jia family does not intend to give up the wings of the Xue and Wang families."
Among the four major families, the Jia family is the most powerful, but since Daihua and Daishan have no successors, the Wang family can only take over the military power.
In the eyes of King Zhongshun, the recent incident in Jingying between the king and Jia Shang was more like an internal fight between the two families.
King Zhongshun shook his head and said: "This is wrong. Originally, the Wang family was prosperous, but now the prince has abandoned it. However, the Jia family, which was originally in decline, has suddenly risen. How can the two families be reconciled as before? There is no hope for the Jia and Wang families anymore. It is possible to unite, but as for the Xue family, it is okay to wave the flag and shout from the side, and it will not affect the overall situation."
Zhou Changshi said: "My lord, I think that the Jia family needs to avoid his sharp edges. If he makes a mistake, he will offend people like that Wang Ziteng. He was so powerful the day before yesterday. In the blink of an eye, he almost broke through the collapse." God’s calamity is coming.”
King Zhongshun's eyes were cold and he said: "That's what I mean. Let him dance around for a few more days, but you can't do nothing. Do you have any clues about the evidence you collected about the Jia family's crimes?"
It's interesting to say that King Zhongshun and Jia Heng almost thought of each other, and they were both collecting dark materials about each other.
It's just that Jia Heng has just arrived in the officialdom and has only been in office for a short period of time, so it is difficult to have any evidence of guilt.
Zhou Changshi said: "There are none from Jia Yunhui, but Jia She, the successor of Rongfu, likes to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, gold and silverware to play with. In recent years, relying on the power of Rongguo Duke, he has done many things to buy and sell by force. Act."
King Zhongshun shook his head and said: "These alone cannot completely shake the Jia family. Moreover, as far as Gu knows, Jia She and Jia Heng's son are already at odds. Even if Gu sends Jia She in, he can't hurt Jia Heng's son." A single hair, but he took advantage of Jia Heng's child's wishes."
The Jia family relied on their power to bully ordinary people. Although the Holy Spirit was angry, he could only reprimand him.
"If you let people continue to find fault with Jia Heng's son," King Zhongshun said coldly.
Zhou Changshi nodded and said yes.
…
…
Let’s talk about Jia Heng again. It’s already the end of lunch at the eldest princess’s house in Jinyang, accompanied by her mother and daughter, and Princess Xianning.
Li Chanyue led Princess Xianning to her boudoir to talk, while Jia Heng and Princess Jinyang went into the inner study to discuss matters.
Jia Heng and Princess Jinyang sat opposite each other across a small table. On the table were the account books sent by Dongcheng from last month.
"Last month's interest was handed over to the emperor's brother the day before yesterday. The emperor was very happy and the palace supervisor sent it to the inner bank." Princess Jinyang gently closed the account book she was looking through and said softly.
Jia Heng said: "Those businesses in Dongcheng are originally very profitable businesses. If you manage them well, you can earn millions of taels of silver for the internal funds every year... By the way, the internal funds are not under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang had a smile on her face as charming as peach blossoms, and said: "How could this happen? The emperor has a special eunuch in charge."
Jia Heng nodded, and then said: "I have been busy training troops recently, and I don't have much energy to take care of Dongcheng's industry. Please help me pay more attention here."
Originally, Jia Heng also used the money recovered from the Lai family's deficit in the Ning Mansion, and spent about 250,000 taels of silver to take over five shops. The discounted price had already been transferred to internal funds. Although he dare not say huge profits, he still maintains it every year. A large sum of money is still ok.
The eldest princess of Jinyang's beautiful eyes sparkled and she asked deliberately: "Aren't you afraid of me..."
"You are all mine, why should I be afraid of you?" Jia Heng picked up the tea cup and glanced at the beauty opposite.
"Who is yours..." The eldest princess of Jinyang said angrily, a sweetness surged in her heart, and said: "People say that brothers can still settle accounts. It's best to find someone to help you with your own property. Looking at the account books, I usually don’t pay much attention to business.”
Jia Heng said: "Well, I have a sister who can go over and help."
Princess Jinyang: "..."
Are you just coaxing her along with what you just said?
Jia Heng explained: "It's Sister Yuanchun. She just left the palace not long ago. I want her to praise you."
Princess Jinyang picked up the teapot and poured a cup for the young man opposite her. She frowned and asked curiously: "Yuan Chun, is that the female official from the Queen's Palace before?"
She did have some impressions of Yuanchun. When she was a guest in Kunning Palace, she met a female official who was good-looking and well-informed.
Jia Heng said: "It's her. After she left the palace, she was very restless. You happen to be short of people here, so ask her to come and help."
A look of doubt appeared on Princess Jinyang's charming face, and she asked, "She's not too young, right? After leaving the palace, shouldn't she find a good family as soon as possible to leave the palace?"
Jia Heng said: "Isn't it because I can't find a good family? How can there be any suitable men of the right age in Beijing for a while?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang was lost in thought and sighed quietly: "That's the case."
The noble son of the capital, with such a handsome young man behind him, almost makes the stars dim when the bright moon comes out.
In just a moment, Princess Jinyang changed her mind.
But while Jia Heng was speaking, he walked around the table, took Princess Jinyang's slender hand, took her into his arms, and said warmly: "Let her practice by your side for a year or two first and gain knowledge."
The beauty didn't pay attention to the young man's words. She just stretched out her hand to grab the dishonest hand and lowered her voice and said, "Don't... Chanyue and Xianning are at home. They can't come over at any time."
Jia Heng said: "It doesn't matter, we just talk together and don't do anything else."
A strange blush flashed across Princess Jinyang's cheeks, and her earlobes hanging with blue crescent moon pendants were already red. She said angrily: "Then be more careful with your hands."
Although he was petulant and angry, he no longer struggled.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said again: "If Yuanchun wants to come, just come. But, what if she notices what happened between you and me?"
Jia Heng held a plump ball, attached it to the beauty's ear, and said, "She has a very strict mouth and won't talk nonsense."
At this moment, the beauty was teased so delicately that she felt a little emotional. Her voice trembled slightly, and she suddenly held Jia Heng Xiangxie's hand firmly. Her beautiful eyes were charming and she said with a trembling voice: " Stop making trouble, Chan Yue never knocks on the door when she enters this study, if she sees it... I will really be embarrassed to see her."
Jia Heng had no choice but to take away the hand that climbed over the mountains and ridges, and said calmly: "Your Highness, it's getting late, I'll leave first."
Princess Jinyang: "..."
Are you intentional?
Jia Heng chuckled lightly, and suddenly moved closer to the beautiful face that looked a little embarrassed and astonished, pursed her two cherry lips, and tasted the aroma.
After a while, the two of them breathed heavily and cuddled together.
On the other side, Li Chanyue and Princess Xianning were also talking in their own room.
Li Chanyue asked: "Sister, what do you think of Mr. Jia?"
Princess Xianning was holding a sachet embroidered by the little princess and looking at it, her hair hanging down from her temples. She turned her head when she heard the words and said in surprise: "What kind of person is this?"
Seeing the strange smile on Li Chanyue's lips, Princess Xianning instantly understood something and said angrily: "Sister, what are you thinking about every day? Mr. Jia has a family."
Li Chanyue smiled and said: "What's wrong with having a family? You can also learn from Wang Xianzhi's divorce and marry another man."
Princess Xianning snorted softly, stretched out a finger, pointed on Li Chanyue's forehead, and said: "A wife of scumbag will not go to court. If you imitate Chen Shimei, you will be scolded by others. Besides, if Mr. Jia is that kind of person, I will also……"
"What about me?" Li Chanyue looked at the cold-faced Princess Xianning with clear eyes.
"nothing."
Li Chanyue's heart moved slightly when she saw this scene.
Princess Xianning looked at Li Chanyue, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Why do you worry about these things like keeping a matchmaker and pulling your hair?"
Li Chanyue chuckled and said, "Aren't you worried about your sister? After the Chinese New Year, Brother Wei Wang will get married once he leaves the palace and opens a palace. Then it will be my sister's turn. To tell the truth, I look at this sacred city. There are few who can compare to Mr. Jia, and if sister wants to, she doesn’t have to... wrong herself."
Princess Xianning was silent for a moment, and for a moment, her beautiful face was slightly absent-minded, and she said leisurely: "The most important thing for people to know each other is to know each other, and the most important thing for people to know each other is to know their hearts. Not the best is the right one, even if Mr. Jia We're not married yet, and I don't know him very well now, so I have no other ideas, so why should I rashly promise him a lifetime?"
As he said that, he looked at Li Chanyue aside and said softly, "Sister, you will understand in the future."
The original smile on Li Chanyue's face disappeared, and there was a bit of calmness in her starry eyes, and she sighed softly: "I don't know who is lucky enough to marry my sister."
Princess Xianning smiled faintly and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Brother Wei Wang will give birth to a baby tomorrow. You and your aunt don't forget to go to the palace to attend the banquet."
Li Chanyue nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's go talk to mother."
But he suddenly remembered that Jia Heng and his mother had been talking in the study for a while.
…
…
Jia Heng and the eldest princess were tired of each other for a while. Because they were always worried about the little princess coming over, they didn't stay any longer and returned to Ningguo Mansion.
Just as he entered Ning Guo's mansion, Jiao Da came towards him and reported, "Sir, the one who called Sun Yun just now said that he was driving three ponies on his orders."
Jia Heng said: "I told him to come here. Are the foals all in the stables?"
Ningguo Mansion is the home of Wu Xun, with its own stables in the courtyard.
"The servants are feeding them all." Jiao Da said, following Jia Heng, and added: "At noon in the palace, an eunuch came over and just sent the invitation. Now it has been delivered to the eldest grandma."
"I know." Jia Heng nodded and walked towards the backyard.
As expected, Queen Song sent a birthday invitation to King Wei.
Walking up to the backyard and entering the three inner halls, you can smell the fragrant fragrance, like orchids and musk deer, the fragrance of powder is piled up, and the hall is filled with spring flowers.
Qin Keqing was talking happily with Youshi Sanshu, Xiangyun, Tanchun, Daiyu, Xichun and Yingchun.
He was suddenly talking about riding a horse.
Jia Heng smiled and asked, "What are you talking about, so happy?"
Before Qin Keqing could speak, Xiang Yun smiled and said, "Brother Heng, I bought a pony in the front yard. When will Brother Heng teach us how to ride horses?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Tanchun cast an expectant gaze on Jia Heng, but the starry eyes of the jade jade beside him flickered slightly, as if he was also interested.
She had just seen those little ponies.
Third Sister You's bright eyes flickered, and she was also a little eager to try.
Jia Heng sat down and said with a chuckle: "Just for the next two days, people will start to level the ground in the backyard to make it spacious and flat. You can also find some warrior uniforms to wear, so that you can move more smoothly."
Hearing this, Xiangyun's round and red face showed joy and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, Third Sister, we have learned to ride horses, and we can go for an outing after spring next year. At that time, if we can find a peach garden, How about we come to Taoyuan to become sworn brothers?"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Daiyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her autumn hair shimmering, and said with a smile: "When the three of us grow up, you won't be the second master Guan, you can only be that black-faced Yan man Zhang Yide. "
Xiangyun's bright eyes rolled, pouted, and smiled: "If Sister Lin said this, then Liu Xuande would still have his ears hanging down and his hands above his knees. I wonder if that's Sister Lin?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone subconsciously looked at Daiyu.
Daiyu was so embarrassed that she couldn't help herself for a moment, especially when one of the gazes, as warm as the sun, fell on her ear. Her heart skipped a beat and her cheeks felt as hot as fire.
"Okay, the two sisters are just joking, don't be angry." After all, Qin Keqing said with a smile, and quickly suppressed the joking of the two little girls.
Then he looked at Jia Heng and whispered: "Husband, just now, the father-in-law came to the palace and issued an invitation. He said that King Wei is giving birth to a baby. The queen wants to invite your husband to the palace for a banquet. What kind of gift should I prepare?"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Just follow the usual routine of old relatives, no need to be too extravagant."
