Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall
Jia Mu was talking to Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang and others, and Feng Wan, Chai Dai, Ying Chun and Tan Chun were sitting on the embroidered pier at the bottom to accompany them.
Because of Sister Feng's funny jokes, laughter and laughter erupted in the hall. Even Mrs. Wang's face, which had no smile lines in the past, also showed a faint smile.
Baoyu sat in front of Daiyu and talked around Daiyu.
As for Jia Zheng, he went to Mengpo Zhai's small study room to accept the congratulations of his father-in-law.
Because Jia Zheng was in a good mood today, he turned a blind eye to Baoyu after accompanying Jia's mother to take the pill, and did not let him kneel in the ancestral hall after taking the pill.
Of course, I was waiting for Jia Heng to come back. He said he would open an ancestral hall to worship his ancestors. There was a jade kneeling inside. What was going on?
"Old lady, madam, Uncle Heng and Miss Heng are here."
Just when the Rongguo Mansion was filled with joy, a nanny entered the hall and reported.
Mother Jia's face was overflowing with joy, and she said with a smile: "While we were talking, Brother Heng came over, Yuanyang, go find someone to call the master over."
Yuanyang responded with a smile, and then went.
The joy on Mrs. Wang's face seemed to be covered by dark clouds, and it dimmed a little. She reached out to take the teacup handed over by the maid Yinchuan, put it to her lips and took a sip.
Uncle Heng finally came. Although she reluctantly accepted his love this time, it was what she deserved.
You can't scold this and that in the house, and block the eldest girl's marriage, and end up not doing anything good, right? Baochai stared in the direction of the screen, with a bit of expectation in her heart.
After a short while, a tall young man wearing an azure gown and a blue scarf first came into view.
Half a step behind the young man, a woman in a pink coat and skirt, with a golden stiletto pinned between her lush buns, came with graceful steps.
It has to be said that after being influenced by court etiquette, in terms of graceful appearance, there are few in the mansion as dignified and dignified as Yuanchun, which almost fully displays the plump and graceful figure.
When Jia Heng came back, he was not wearing a python suit, but changed into a brocade robe at the princess's house in Jinyang.
"Brother Heng." Jia Mu called with a smile on her face when she saw Jia Heng.
Jia Heng bowed respectfully: "Old lady."
Seeing this scene, Jia Mu smiled and nodded, and she was even more elated. Where could she find such a patriarch?
Even though he is now in a high position, he still respects her, not to mention uniting the clan, loving the children of the clan, and has not forgotten Baoyu and his father.
I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered what Jia Heng once said when he taught Bao Yu, "I don't live up to the love of Ning Rong and Tang Di." I felt that the words were like gold and stone, and the words were still ringing in my ears.
In fact, this is why Jia Heng helps Jia Zheng in his career. As the head of a clan, he has power but also reciprocal obligations.
Otherwise, how could he teach Baoyu and reprimand Mrs. Wang, and have the right to speak in the Yuanchun marriage?
"Okay, okay, brother Heng, sit down quickly." Mother Jia was a little excited and said repeatedly.
Jia Heng can understand some of Jia Mu's excitement. Ever since Jia She and his son were exiled, Rongguo Mansion has fallen into a state of neither embarrassment nor embarrassment. Jia Mu doesn't show it on her face, but in fact she is worried about the future of Rong Mansion. A state of having trouble sleeping and eating.
Especially since the East Mansion was granted a title and a first-class imperial edict, but looking back at the West Mansion, they were exiled and lost their official posts. How could you not murmur in your heart?
No matter how beautiful Jia Heng’s words were, it could not hide the fact that the relevant measures have not been implemented.
Jia Heng sat down, glanced at Baoyu who was joking in front of Daiyu, and asked: "Old lady, where is the second master?"
Baoyu: "???" What does Brother Heng mean? He glanced at him and then asked the master, "You think he is an eyesore, don't you?"
Daiyu was always keen, her starry eyes sparkling, she took this scene in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel a sense of humor in her heart.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "He will come over soon. Brother Heng, did you put a lot of thought into this time?"
"It didn't take much thought. It's just my luck." Jia Heng's face remained calm, and maybe there was a bit of salt in his mouth. He picked up the tea cup on the side and took a sip to quench his thirst.
At this moment, I am sitting under Mrs. Wang (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 527: Mrs. Wang: The third-grade imperial edict sounds much better than the fourth-grade imperial edict.
Yuanchun, for some reason, saw Jia Heng drinking tea, his jade hands holding the handkerchief trembled, and his beautiful eyes under his beautiful eyebrows felt moist.
"Didn't I, Baoyu, stay in the Ministry of Works before? I thought it would be good to be promoted to the first rank as a doctor. Why does Brother Heng want to go to the General Affairs Department?" Jia Mu asked in surprise.
I also wanted to ask Jia Heng about his intentions.
When Mrs. Wang heard the words, although she looked indifferent, she was actually listening with her ears bent.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "It is much better for me to go to the General Affairs Department than to the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry has many affairs. Although it is rich in oil and water, it is all government money, and our family is not short of such money. Besides, I am in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry." If you stay here, you will need to be transferred to other yamen, and your career will be much smoother in the future."
Sister Feng said with a smile: "Old ancestors, those officials who supervised the construction of imperial tombs often came from small families. They studied hard for so many years. Once they became powerful, didn't they just make a lot of money? Now it's okay, for so little. Silver, if you do something wrong, you will lose your wealth and life, old lady, why do you bother to come?"
Jia Mu nodded and said, "This is what Feng girl said. Although we are a middle-class family, we still don't lack the eight thousand taels of silver waiting to support our family."
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "What the old lady said, if the old lady is from a middle-class family, we are all from a small family."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Mother Jia asked again: "What does Brother Heng say about the case he was supervising recently?"
"Those officials are now imprisoned in imperial prisons. The master has not been corrupt or occupying these years, and he has a clear mind. It is the right time." Jia Heng nodded and said: "As for the doctor in the first division of the Ministry of Industry, the position is The humble affairs are complicated and busy with documents, so the deputy of the Jiuqing Qinggui Ministry like the General Affairs Department may not be as free as the General Affairs Department. The General Affairs Department passes the instructions, and the master can make more colleagues, understand the civil affairs of the provinces, and broaden his horizons, which is all good .”
Sister Feng smiled and said: "Listen, old lady, how thoughtful is Brother Heng? I said at the beginning that Brother Heng is very thoughtful."
I have to say that with Sister Feng as a warm-up person, the atmosphere will not get cold.
"I asked Baoyu about his father today." Jia Mu smiled and said: "He said that the General Administration Secretary Youtongzheng does not have so many responsibilities and is much easier than the errands of the Ministry of Works."
While they were talking, the nun outside smiled and said, "Old lady, the master is here."
When Jia Zheng heard that Jia Heng was back, he immediately left Mengpo Zhai and rushed towards Rongqing Hall.
At this time, Baoyu's expression paused, with a trace of unnaturalness appearing on his face.
Xiangyun smiled and said: "Brother Ai, I am happy now, so I may not use you as a raft. It's not like a mouse meets a cat."
The girl has a cute smile, her apple face has two dimples when she smiles, and her innocent smile is quite contagious.
Baoyu was also a little stunned, and said calmly: "That's what Sister Yun said."
Daiyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, thinking to herself, Brother Bao really has this temper.
When Baoyu heard Daiyu's chuckle, he came to his senses. A smile appeared on his full moon face and he scratched his head.
He admired those beautiful girls just like admiring flowers and the moon.
Not long after, Jia Zheng entered the hall. He first saluted Jia's mother, who was sitting at the top, and said, "Mother."
Jia Mu said with a smile: "No, Brother Heng is here. Let's talk. By the way, Brother Heng just talked about the affairs of the General Affairs Department. You can discuss it."
Jia Heng also looked at Jia Zheng at this time and called: "Master."
"Ziyu." Jia Zheng called out with a slight smile on his face, then sat down and said, "I'm going to the General Affairs Department tomorrow. Does Ziyu have anything to say?"
"The master's words are serious." Jia Heng said: "Just do your duty and do your duty. There is nothing wrong with it." "
Under the gazes of Jia Mu and several others, intentionally or unintentionally, Jia Heng thought for a while, sketched a blueprint, and said: "I am in the General Affairs Department, and I think it will not be too long. I will wait for a year and a half before the Beijing inspection." As the plan unfolds, many local officials are bound to be deposed. At that time, the master has been tested in the General Administration Department. If he has excellent talents and is honest and fair, he may be able to be sent to the feudal dynasty to participate in politics or serve as an inspector. In this way, He is a third-grade official, and at that time he is a royal in a scarlet robe. Even in the city of Shenjing, he can be called a royal official."
(This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 527: Mrs. Wang: The third-grade imperial edict sounds much better than the fourth-grade imperial edict.
Among the Han Dynasty, the chief envoy was of the second rank, second only to the local governor. As for the Fei robe, only officials of the third rank and above could wear the Fei robe.
Jia Zheng twirled his beard, nodded and said, "What Zi Yu said is true."
When Jia Mu heard that there would be such arrangements in the future, she was even more overjoyed and said: "Zheng'er, although Brother Heng is young, he has a deep understanding of things. Even an old woman like me admires it. You two have many problems." Discussed."
After all, it was to save Jia Zheng's face. He didn't say that you just listen to Brother Heng in everything.
Mrs. Wang clenched the Buddhist beads in her palm tightly, and her mood was a little uneasy, not only because of Jia Mu's words, but also because of the third-rank official promised by Jia Heng.
That's really...
A third-grade imperial edict sounds much better than a fourth-grade imperial edict.
At this moment, Yuanchun's bright eyes were clear and shining, and he felt extremely sweet in his heart as he looked at the young man talking eloquently.
She turned around and glanced at her indifferent mother, pursed her lips, and thought to herself that her mother and the family still owed something to Hengdi, and she would have to pay it back in this life.
Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but recall the charming mood from before, I felt my heart skip a beat, and the embroidered shoes under my skirt moved closer together.
It’s true that Hengdi is so eloquent and eloquent. I don’t know how he grew up. It’s just one time that’s unforgettable, as if he can’t forget it.
Um?
Yuanchun's heart suddenly palpitated. She was really... broken. How could she be thinking about this in Rongqing Hall where her sisters and ancestors were all present?
But why...
This is... too shameless.
Fortunately, everyone was looking at Jia Heng at this moment, and no one cared about Yuan Chun's strange expression.
Like Baochai, the moist apricot eyes under Willow Ye's slender eyebrows were full of waves, looking at the young man, but looking away from time to time, for fear of being caught.
Aunt Xue also saw envy on her face, and thought to herself, hearing this, Brother Heng still wants to help the second master get promoted?
I really can't write two characters "Jia" in one stroke. Compared to her Xue family, they are so close and distant that they can be distinguished at once.
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at the sky, and said, "Old lady, let's not talk about this for now. It's getting dark now. Let's open the ancestral hall for the ceremony later."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "It's time to worship our ancestors, and it's time to let our ancestors know."
Previously, she felt heartbroken when she lost her title. Now that her second son has been promoted to an official position, it has brought honor to her ancestor's face, but the title... is always painful after all.
Listening to what Brother Heng has said in the past, Brother Huan may be allowed to practice martial arts and join the army in the future, and he may also have the opportunity to be knighted.
It's just Baoyu, alas...
At this time, Zhou Rui's family entered the Rongqing Hall and said with a smile: "Old lady, madam, the troupe ordered by Second Mistress Lian has been invited. Should we do it now, or?"
There was joy in every corner of Jia Mu's eyes. She smiled and said, "Just put it in the courtyard. We, Xiaoqing, will be there soon."
Sister Feng smiled and led Ping'er and the other maids to get up and go get ready.
Jia Heng watched this scene quietly and thought to himself that there should be a "Qingwen Song" at this moment, otherwise it would not be enough to express the Jia family's joy.
The moon is rare and the colorful clouds are easy to disperse...
While everyone was listening to the play in the courtyard, Jia Heng left Rongqing Hall and went with Jia Zheng to Mengpo Zhai's small study room to talk about the court and other matters.
…
…
Daming Palace, in the study room in the side hall, in the afternoon, Emperor Chongping sat behind the desk, looking down at the relevant books of the Ministry of Internal Affairs handed over by Princess Jinyang, concentrating on them.
"Shuisha..."
After flipping through it, I saw the items of property to be inspected recorded on it, but my face gradually became serious. The joy in my heart was replaced by the shocking corruption.
Because the more property that was seized, the more it showed that the officials of the Han Dynasty were corrupt. Otherwise, how could these officials accumulate such huge wealth just by relying on the royal salary?
After three years of clearing the magistrate's office, he received one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.
He also knows the official proverb that someone who has traveled thousands of miles to be an official is only for wealth.
However, no matter what, this money can be considered as a solution to the urgent need. At least there is a reserve of salary to rectify and reduce the border troops, and this year, we can calmly implement major policies.
When Emperor Chongping thought of this, he forced away the gloom in his heart and said: "There are many farms and houses here, antiques and treasures, picking up (this chapter is not finished!)
Chapter 527: Mrs. Wang: The third-grade imperial edict sounds much better than the fourth-grade imperial edict.
Those that did not violate the regulations were sold by the tax collectors in the east and west cities, and the money was converted into money and put into internal funds. Some shops were also run by people. "
The eldest princess of Jinyang nodded and responded: "I will let the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs handle this matter when I get back."
After pondering for a while, he asked: "There is just one more thing I want to talk to the emperor."
"What's going on?" Emperor Chongping asked.
The eldest princess of Jinyang hesitated for a moment and said: "Previously, there was no one in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The emperor sent me to ask questions at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now this case is gradually coming to an end. I am a prostitute and am now in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Isn't that right? Is there something inappropriate? The emperor has already sent the Song family brother to take care of it, and my sister is thinking of handing over some affairs of the government to the Song family brother. What does the emperor think?"
When Emperor Chongping heard this, he frowned and said thoughtfully: "Song Jing has been in Honglu Temple for many years. I thought that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was short of people, so I asked him to be transferred to the Kuaiji Division as a doctor to help you with the affairs. Why, do you think it's not to your liking? "
Between brother and sister, there are not so many twists and turns, they talk directly.
"It's not this, it's just such a big deal. As a prostitute, I can't really take care of it. Why don't we ask the nephew of King Wei to come over and help?" Princess Jinyang smiled and said softly.
The royal brother is indeed a sharp thinker.
When Emperor Chongping heard this, his heart moved slightly, but he remained silent.
Originally, he thought Jinyang was a little uncomfortable with sending someone to monitor him, not because of King Wei.
This was because he didn't want to be involved in such matters anymore, so he took precautions and didn't want to interact with the prince at all.
Emperor Chongping thought for a moment and said: "You should take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs first. Isn't the Fourth Department of the Ministry of Industry in need of a doctor now? I have transferred Song Jing to the doctor who came first to the material assessment office. The matter of the imperial mausoleum cannot be careless. It will be dealt with later. After completing that errand, we will make another appointment."
When the eldest princess of Jinyang heard this, her beauty changed slightly, and she hurriedly said: "When the emperor said this, my sister can't stay in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It seems like my sister deliberately squeezed away the eldest brother of the Song family."
"Don't think too much." Emperor Chongping frowned and said in a deep voice, "The Household Affairs Office has always been in charge of the clan, but now it is up to you to manage it. Okay, this matter is settled."
He did not think it through properly before. Jinyang did not want to get involved in seizing the legitimate son, so he naturally avoided Song Jing.
If the Ministry of Internal Affairs is handed over to Song Jing, not to mention other things, Song Jing, who is in charge of the money and food expenditure, will be ignorant and help the King of Wei cultivate party members, which will be harmful to the country and the country.
Seeing Emperor Chongping's resolute attitude, the eldest princess of Jinyang had no choice but to lower her head and respond in a low voice: "Then my sister will reluctantly help the emperor to take care of him for a while."
Emperor Chongping nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and say hello to the Queen Mother, and also pay a visit to the Emperor Father."
The eldest princess of Jinyang did not stay long and responded: "Then my sister will leave."
After Princess Jinyang left, Emperor Chongping sighed and felt a headache.
My sister finally let go of what happened back then, and her relationship with him gradually became harmonious, but it was just what happened back then, and she didn't want to get involved with any disputes over the heirloom.
However, if this happens, the Queen will probably be careful.
