Rongqingtang
When Jia Heng and Baochai arrived with the mandarin ducks, Jia Zheng had already arrived for a while and was talking to Jia Mu. His face was gloomy and he seemed to be full of thoughts. Mrs. Wang, who was sitting not far away, looked like a "Sima" Face appearance.
In addition, Jia She and Mrs. Xing, whom they had not seen for a long time, were sitting on the embroidered pier.
"Brother Heng." When Jia Mu saw Jia Heng, her expression changed slightly and she called out quickly, as if she had found a backbone.
Just now, he deliberately showed his kindness in front of Shi Ding's wife.
Jia Heng stood in the middle, nodded to Jia Mu, and said a few words of greetings. In fact, he was a little curious about what Jia Mu called him here before.
Since Baoyu was beaten and the matter of going to the ancestral hall was a foregone conclusion, Jia Mu no longer mentioned the matter.
At this moment, Jia Heng looked at Jia Zheng's sad face and worried look. His mind was spinning, and he vaguely guessed the whole story, and asked: "Second Master, where are you coming from?"
Jia Zheng raised his eyes and saw Jia Heng. His usually elegant face was clearly full of dejection, and he said, "I just resigned from the Ministry of Works."
Jia She answered the conversation from the side and said calmly: "The Ministry of Works is currently inspecting the capital. Pan Bingyi, Lu Chengan, the Minister of Works, and others want to clean up the old staff and plan to collect some old, sick, lazy, and impetuous officials for review. , for the consideration of the official court, the second brother is among them according to the official report."
Jia She was a member of the Water Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Works. This official position was the deputy of the doctor, and he was among the officials under investigation. In order to keep their confidants in the Ministry of Works, the two ministers of the Ministry of Works wanted to throw some people out to share some of the pressure. .
Compared with the original work, Jia Zheng at this moment does not have a daughter who is a concubine in the palace, so he is naturally targeted by the two ministers, and this is also because Jia Zheng is not good at flattering in the office of the Ministry of Industry.
As the original book says: "I want to be a good official, but I don't understand the world. I just bow and bow, and sit there all day long. I am like a clay sculpture. I am deceived by others and become infamous."
Jia She said coldly: "I tell you, my second brother, it's not interesting to be an official. If you don't take this opportunity to resign, look at how free and at ease I am now. I'm just thinking about it. I'll have some free time in two years. Leaving the sacred capital, I will travel to the world's famous places with the wind and sleeves."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang's heart was shaken, her face was frozen, and she could hardly breathe.
If the master loses his official position, what will happen to her and Baoyu?
Mother Jia's expression changed, she smashed her crutches and scolded: "Imitate you, eat and drink and have fun all day long..."
After all, he was worried about the presence of outsiders and juniors, so he swallowed the words "marry a younger wife".
But young wives such as Feng Wan all had strange expressions on their faces, and they clearly knew what he meant.
Obviously it's like standing on the street with a blank piece of paper and knowing what you want to say.
Baochai was sitting on the embroidered pier next to Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue took Baochai's hand and looked at each other, winking as if asking, "Good girl, what's going on with your brother?" Son, how's it going?"
Baochai's jade face paused slightly, sighed softly, pursed her pink lips, and felt the golden lock on her chest was heating up. It was because of her heavy conscience that she felt guilty after telling a lie.
Aunt Xue sighed.
Jia's mother was accusing anger at this time and reprimanded: "When your father died, the emperor gave Baoyu an official position after he took pity on the meritorious officials. Now that he has resigned from the official position, what does it mean?!"
Of her two sons, the eldest son has a title, and this title will probably fall on Lian'er in the future, but the younger son has no one. Now he finally has an official, but if he loses it, her treasure...
After being reprimanded, Jia She's expression became indifferent and he said nothing.
As he said this, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Yuanyang, and seeing the slim figure and color, he secretly thought, this girl is getting more and more beautiful, and Yanhong in the room just happened to drive this girl away and promote her as her aunt.
Seeing that Jia She was exhausted, Mrs. The Commander-in-Chief in Jinyi, and the Military Envoy of the Five Cities... If you go to the Ministry of Works for a few words, why don't they give you some dignity?"
When these words were said, everyone's hearts moved. Of course, they were not surprised that Mrs.
Mrs. Wang raised her face, pinched the Buddhist beads in her sleeves, and moved her lips, as if she was restless, awakening the memory of the repeated syllables of "please", but she was immediately suppressed by Mrs. Wang.
Every time I think about what happened that day, I feel like my heart is fried, and I feel like I am in pain.
In fact, just like m, once the bottom line is breached once, then...
Hearing this, Mother Jia turned to look at Jia Heng and asked, "Brother Heng, what do you think we should do about this?"
Jia Zheng said worriedly: "The capital inspection is jointly conducted by the Ministry of Personnel and the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan. Ziyu is not good...sigh..."
Jia Zheng obviously wanted to be an official, so he was inevitably worried and sighed.
Jia Heng pondered and said: "Which minister from the Ministry of Industry wants to use the master to make up for his losses?"
Jia Zheng thought for a while and said, "It's Mr. Pan. When Zhao Shangshu is away, he will be in charge of the ministry."
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "The Beijing Procuratorate is a major plan of the imperial court. The Ministry of Works is audacious and uses the agency to trap colleagues. It is really unfair. I can go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to seek a complaint from the censor. As for the Ministry of Works, I can't really intervene. "
He recently sent people to secretly investigate the causes and consequences of the corruption case of two ministers from the Ministry of Industry in the Imperial Mausoleum, and progress has gradually been made. However, the matter is secretive and cannot be publicized.
To take a step back, even if Jia Zheng was wronged, when the corruption case in the imperial mausoleum was discovered and the Ministry of Industry was shocked, then Jia Zheng would be an honest minister who was squeezed out by traitors, which would be a good thing for Jia Zheng.
Jia She frowned and said: "Can the imperial censor help? This is because the Ministry of Industry has made it clear that they are bullying our Jia family. Otherwise, as a noble family like ours, a family with two kingdoms, they would dare to ignore the Jia family like this." inside?"
This is of course an accusation against Jia Heng. How did you become the leader of the clan? Can't even maintain the Jia family's momentum?
Jia Mu's expression changed and she said, "You can't say that. The imperial court has its own rules."
Jia She said: "Brother Heng, go to the Ministry of Industry. I don't think those officials will dare to make random accusations again!"
Shi Ding's daughter-in-law watched this scene quietly, feeling somewhat regretful that she had just started talking for no reason.
On the other side, Daiyu and Tanchun exchanged glances, and Yan Yan frowned, seeming to be thinking about something.
Jia Heng glanced at Jia She coldly, and said in a deep voice: "I am the governor of Jinyi and a minister of martial arts. If I put pressure on the two ministers like this, do you think it won't arouse suspicion among the people and make the government and the public angry? I can't say that I can't do it to the second master. It also had a counterproductive effect. At that time, the officialdom would only think that my Jia family had no discipline and relied on power to commit lawlessness."
Jia She thought he had figured out Jia Heng's fault, and sneered: "My second brother has always been conscientious in his work, but now that he has been framed by a villain, are you not afraid that the public will be full of suspicion and the government and the public will be upset? I see that you are becoming more and more courageous as an official." It’s getting smaller and smaller.”
After saying that, he sneered and said, "That's right. You should scold Baoyu at home to show off your clan leader's style."
At this moment, Jia She's voice and look were sharp and sarcastic.
Jia She felt confident that he had nothing to ask of the powerful young man. At this moment, he could not hold back his words and just wanted to vent out all the grievances and resentments he had felt in the past.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes stretched out with joy, and her heart was agitated. She held the Buddhist beads in her palms tightly, not noticing the slight pain.
These words really touched her heart!
What's the point of being able to help the master say this and keep catching her Baoyu to teach her a lesson?
Jia Heng glanced at Jia She coldly, and shouted: "Since the master is so capable, you might as well go and talk to the Ministry of Works and see if they will give you the dignity of a first-class mighty general and a noble in Rongguo!"
How many people from the capital police are watching, the commander in chief, and Wu Xun rudely interfering, how much slander will be caused at that time?
This Jia She deliberately provokes the general, and his heart is worthy of death!
Jia She snorted coldly, his expression changed, and he muttered: "I'm not the head of the Jia family, what should I do?"
Others looked at this scene and frowned secretly. Due to Jia She's past reputation, they naturally did not take Jia She's "moral kidnapping" into consideration.
"That's enough!" Jia Mu shouted, interrupting the argument between the two, then looked at Jia Heng and said, "First do what Brother Heng said."
Jia Zheng looked solemn and sighed: "That's all I have to do. I heard that Mr. Xu has a dignified voice and is upright. I don't think he will let the two ministers of the Ministry of Industry use the capital to inspect and exclude their colleagues."
Although there was some truth in what he said, it was unknown whether it was because of Jia Zheng's lonely look that cast a layer of gloom in the hearts of Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother.
Jia She stood up and sneered: "Then just listen to Brother Heng. Why did mother call me here? I just heard that Brother Heng's father-in-law is also in the Ministry of Works? By the way, he seems to be a doctor. Seventy, you are also under investigation, right? I wonder if you can pass safely this time? "
At the end, there was a bit of schadenfreude and ridicule, and then he bowed his hands to Jia Mu, not forgetting to glance at the mandarin duck, and then left.
Mrs. Xing was sitting aside. When she saw this, she stood up quickly and said with a smile on her face: "Old lady, I'm going to see the master."
Seeing Jia She's behavior, Jia's mother frowned and let out a long sigh. She was not really angry, nor was she not angry.
Mainly I am worried about my youngest son.
Xiangyun turned around with her rosy apple-like cheeks, looked at Tanchun, and whispered: "Third sister, are the adults from Sister-in-law Heng's family also in the Ministry of Works?"
A hint of worry appeared in Tan Chun's charming and beautiful eyebrows, and he said: "Sister Yun, Brother Heng should have a plan, don't worry too much."
Under the smoky eyebrows of Daiyu like willow catkins in the mist, a pair of autumn water is gazing intently at the young man not far away, and the ripples called "worry" are also rippling in the lake of his heart.
Baochai's bright eyes were as bright as water. Looking at the young man, there was not much worry on his pale face.
Of course, it wasn't because of the man's wife's father, but because he firmly believed that the man was confident.
After Jia She and Mrs. Xing left, the atmosphere in the huge Rongqing Hall became somewhat dull and fell into a strange silence.
Sister Feng smiled, relaxed the atmosphere, and said, "Old lady, since Brother Heng said so, it will definitely work out. It's already noon, so let's just eat."
Jia Mu had no choice but to put down her worries and said, "Let's eat first."
…
…
Let's not mention the meal between Jia Heng and Jia Mu in Rongqing Hall, but say that Jia She returned to the courtyard where he lived, came to the hall, and sat down on the Taishi chair.
Mrs.
Jia She was drinking tea. He placed the tea cup heavily on the small table and sneered: "I can't stand his frivolous behavior! Now he has coaxed the old lady, relying on his status as the patriarch, in both houses. You can scold whoever you want to scold, and control whoever you want to control! A bunch of people are still supporting him. Brother Lian, his daughter-in-law, the eldest girl, and the third girl are all elbowing their way to Dongfu. By the way, there are also Zhu My brother-in-law and his wife are also gentle and courteous. Who would want to invite that person to host her son? It’s really..."
Some of the words were too vulgar and disgusting, Jia She said and stopped talking.
The second half of the sentence is probably about a group of big girls and young wives holding his smelly feet and licking his buttocks...
In fact, as Jia She's scandalous deeds spread, the female relatives of Rongguo Mansion lost much respect for Jia She.
Jia She is not stupid, or as a social animal, he can sense emotions such as isolation and disrespect from some looks and attitudes.
At this moment, it is inevitable to feel resentful that "the female family members of Rong Mansion are all evil people".
Seeing Jia She's unkind expression, Mrs. Similar."
Jia She sneered and said, "He is actually right. He is a military attache. It is really hard for him to intervene indiscriminately, otherwise he will be attacked by civilian officials."
"Then Master just returned it?" Mrs. "
Most likely, he seemed to be very satisfied with Mrs. Only after this incident did she know who is the pillar of this Duke's Mansion, but it's a pity that the little thing didn't fall for it."
Mrs. Xing's eyes lit up and she whispered: "The Duke's Mansion?"
Jia She picked up the tea cup and said cheerfully: "At that time, I was the only one in Rong Mansion with a title."
There are some things that cannot be said too clearly even between husband and wife, otherwise it will be too shocking.
But even though she didn't need to explain it too clearly, Mrs. Xing understood the meaning.
At that time, it was unreasonable for the second wife, who had no official position and no position, to occupy the Duke's mansion.
Thinking that he was a direct descendant of Rongguo and was driven to live in a small courtyard, the old lady was too partial!
Mrs. Xing nodded frequently and said, "That's right."
"Okay, let's wait and see the show." Jia She smiled, said, swallowed a sip of tea, looked at Mrs. I'm getting better and better, I'm short of a waiter in my room, you can help me organize it these two days."
Mrs.
Then, Mrs. Xing suddenly hesitated and said: "Master, my brother and the others are almost arriving in the capital. Look..."
Jia She waved his hand and said impatiently: "You don't need to tell me about such trivial matters. You just have to deal with it yourself. Just build a courtyard on Ningrong Street for them to live in."
Immediately, Jia She remembered something again and said: "The family of Sun Shaozu from before sent a message saying that they were willing to settle down with Yingchun. Lian'er also said that Sun Shaozu was a capable person."
When Jia She mentioned Yingchun, Mrs.
"It's just to settle the marriage first, give the Sun family a marriage certificate, and then wait two years to get married. There's still a couple of things to do about this matter. Let's see if we can do it together." Jia She put down the teacup and said calmly.
It's not easy for him, a big man, to handle things like this in the inner house.
Mrs. , he will definitely be overjoyed to promote his sister as his aunt, because as a girl, she is still a slave, how can she have the dignity and comfort of being a concubine for the master."
Jia She nodded and said, "Let's do it like this."
Mrs. Xing agreed, and then left Jia She's courtyard to take care of things.
