The Red Mansions

Chapter 543 King Wei: Fourth uncle is also in Henan?

In the afternoon, Wei Wangfu
Under the guidance of King Wei, Jia Heng entered the mansion. At this moment, some congratulatory officials in the front hall who were about to be ushered to the courtyard for lunch looked curiously at the tall and straight boy in python.

Everyone was shocked when they heard their companions narrate who it was.

How could Jia Heng, the Minister of Military Aircraft of the court and Deputy Envoy of the Jingying Jiedu, not know?
It's just that this important minister also came to celebrate King Wei's housewarming?

However, after thinking about it, it seemed normal, not to mention that His Royal Highness King Wei asked about the military affairs of the five cities that he mentioned, it was not surprising that such an important official came to congratulate such a grand occasion.

Jia Heng followed King Wei into the house, and at a glance he saw the figure who was about to go to Kuayuan. It was a young man in the official robe of a sixth-rank military officer, calling: "Cousin."

"Brother Heng." Dong Qian was called, turned around to look, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are here too."

Wei Wang Chen Ran explained with a smile: "Ziyu, several brothers from Wucheng Bingma Division heard that I moved to a new house, and they also came to congratulate me. Deputy Commander Dong, Commander Shen, and Commander Yan are all there."

At this time, Dong Qian called out across the court, and Shen Yan, Yan Li and other generals from the five cities and horses surrounded him, as well as Fa Cao Gao Yinian, Cang Cao Lu Qing and other civil servants.

Jia Heng nodded, looked at the smiling Dong Qian, and asked in surprise, "Why didn't you see Mr. Fan?"

"Mr. Fan said he was inconvenient, so he didn't come here." Dong Qian said with a smile.

Jia Heng's eyes flickered, and his heart moved slightly.

He faintly had what Fan Yi thought, implying that he was different from Wei Wang and the others in their human ways and that he was not conspiring with each other. Also because of such an occasion, his legs and feet were inconvenient, and he was easy to be looked around by strange eyes.

As for Dong Qian, he was his cousin, so he didn't have too many scruples. As for Shen Yan and other generals of the Wucheng Army and Masi, they might have the idea of ​​clinging to the king of Wei, which is understandable.

When the king of Wei went to serve as a meritorious officer in the military and horse division of the five cities, he must win over the general and school of the military and horse division of the five cities, cultivate his party members, and win over the general and school. He also acquiesced at the beginning.

"Everyone, sit down and eat and drink." Jia Heng glanced at the generals of Wucheng Bingma Si and the civil servants, and said loudly.

Everyone smiled and agreed.

With a smile on his face, King Wei stretched out his hand to invite, "Zi Yu, go to the second hall to talk."

The long history of Wei Wangfu has not been selected yet. Now the banquet in the mansion is greeted by a high-ranking female official sent by Queen Song, and then led to the backyard to be received by Song Jing's wife.

In addition, Xia Shouzhong, the chief of the Liugong Capital, and his uncle Song Jing were sent to greet the officials who came to congratulate.

As for the dignified courtiers, Wei Wang Chen Ran, Song Jing, uncle and nephew greeted them personally.

Everyone exchanged greetings, and as soon as they were seated in the hall, a nurse in charge came in and said, "Your Highness, Princess Chu, Princess Qi, and Princess Beijing, come over to congratulate you."

Wei Wang Chen Ran looked at Jia Heng and said, "Zi Yu sit down first, and the sixth younger brother will follow me to meet the sisters-in-law."

Liang Wang and Chen Wei got up and responded.

Seeing that Princess Xianning was about to get up to meet her, King Wei Chen Ran said with a smile, "Fifth Sister and Sister Chanyue, just accompany the gentleman to talk."

Princess Xianning nodded and said, "Brother Wei, go ahead, I will go to the backyard to talk to the two sister-in-laws later."

At this moment, only Jia Heng, Li Chanyue, Princess Xianning, maidservant and mother were left in the second inner hall.

Li Chanyue smiled and asked: "Sister Xianning, I told you to go to Xishan last time, when will we go there?"

Princess Xianning smiled and said, "It won't be too late to go after a while."

She made an appointment with her husband. If there is no news about the war in Henan, she and her husband will go to Xishan Villa to see peach blossoms.

"Then I can only watch it with my mother." Li Chanyue said, then looked at Jia Heng who was beside her and said, "Mr. Jia, do you have any free time recently?"

Jia Heng shook his head, and said: "Recently, I've been busy with the Beijing camp, so I don't have time. Why, the princess wants to invite me to go with me?"

Li Chanyue blinked her bright eyes and said, "Yeah, what's wrong."

"I've been so busy recently that I can't get away, I'm afraid I won't be able to make the trip." Jia Heng said softly.

Recently, he not only wants to send people to inspect the situation in Henan, but also prepares a counter-insurgency army in the name of training.

"Are you so busy? Mr. Jia is not very good at sneaking out from his busy schedule." Li Chanyue said softly.

Jia Heng smiled, picked up the teacup on the small table, and lowered his head to take a sip.

While several people were talking, Wei Wang Chen Ran left and returned, and said with a smile: "It's already noon, I guess I'm hungry too, let's pass on the meal."

Liang Wang and Chen Wei looked at Jia Heng, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Because his elder brother had repeatedly told him not to be rude to this Jia Ziyu, even though he could not understand his frivolous and condescending appearance, he couldn't say anything in person.

Jia Heng had lunch with King Wei, and after finishing eating, he cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei, I have to go to the capital to supervise the army, so excuse me now."

"Sir, let's go to Beijing camp together." Princess Xianning said softly.

The king of Wei swallowed back the words "Gu also go to see my great hero together", and said with a smile: "Fifth sister is best at martial arts. It's good to go to the capital camp to gain knowledge, and it's good to give me back when I come back." Tell your brother."

When more of his fifth younger sisters went, it would be logical for him to go to Beijing camp to find fifth younger sisters.

Princess Xianning pursed her pink lips, her cheeks were stained with a faint blush, and said, "Just go and have a look."

Jia Heng answered: "I promised His Highness for a long time at the beginning, and now we just go there together."

With that said, he left the inner hall with Princess Xianning and headed for the Beijing Camp.

In Wei Wang's mansion, on a three-story attic with flying eaves and brackets, Wei Wang Chen Ran looked over the railing, watching the two people who got into the carriage through a sycamore tree with dense branches and leaves.

"Uncle, I see that Fifth Sister and Jia Ziyu are walking quite close together, and there are some rumors in the palace." Wei Wang said suddenly.

Although the palace people who spread rumors in the palace were punished by Queen Song and Concubine Duan Rong, King Wei still heard the rumors of his fifth sister.

Song Jing pondered and said: "Your Highness, Jia Ziyu already has a family, and the affairs of Xianning are also a little difficult. Unless Jia Ziyu has made great achievements, then the marriage will be bestowed by the Holy Majesty to stop Youyou's mouth."

"Xianning still has deep feelings for Gu." Wei Wang whispered.

Song Jing said: "Now, we can only wait and see what happens."

"Uncle, I heard that the matter of the House of Internal Affairs was stuck with Aunt Jinyang?" Wei Wang Chen Ran suddenly asked.

When mentioning the eldest princess of Jinyang, Song Jing's face darkened a little, and he said in a complicated tone: "The House of Internal Affairs is a good place, it's a pity."

Although it's not bad to be a doctor in the Ministry of Industry's estimates and estimates office now, but it's still not as good as the Kuaiji Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of the royal family's property, even if it's just a little leak... Uncle, do you know that not long ago, the father seized millions of dollars in property from the Zhongshun Palace." Wei Wang Chen Ran whispered road.

Song Jing said: "I've heard that there may be 2000 million taels of property before and after. Recently, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been checking the properties of Prince Zhongshun's mansion in various provinces."

"I don't think so much, it's worth the tax of a big man for a year." Wei Wang said with emotion, and turned back to sit in front of a small table, saying: "It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's difficult to go out for a day. Only when you come out to open the house will you know everything. It's hard."

If my uncle was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even if he withheld one or two million taels a year, he wouldn't be so stretched.

No wonder the queen mother mentioned Aunt Jinyang's "obstruction" the day before yesterday, and her face was not very good.

"The most urgent thing is that His Highness still needs to lead some errands for making a living." Song Jing whispered, and sat down on the bamboo chair opposite Wei Wang Chen Ran.

Wei Wang Chen Ran nodded and said: "I originally thought about staying in Wucheng Bingmasi for a year to see if I could replace the tax collectors in the east and west cities with my people, but I don't know what Jia Ziyu thinks."

The commercial tax of the eastern and western cities is paid by the Bingma Division of Wucheng, and handed over to the General Taxation Department of Bingmasi of Wucheng.

Song Jing nodded and said: "Jia Ziyu is a smart man. Since he has given the position of meritorious service to Your Highness, he will silently see the success and will not interfere. Your Highness, you see that Jia Ziyu usually travels between Beijing Camp and Jinyi Mansion. Bingma Sike has too many stays, he is now leading so many errands, if he takes power in everything, it is easy to be jealous."

Wei Wang Chen Ran's tone was not lacking in envy: "Yes, he has the power of internal and external, and the father really trusts him."

At this moment, the "squeak" sound of official boots stepping on the stairs sounded from the attic, and then what Chen Ran and Song Jing saw was a boy in python suit with a fair complexion and slightly sinister eyebrows and eyes.

"Third brother, uncle."

King Wei looked at King Liang Chen Wei, and asked suspiciously, "Why is the sixth brother so hasty?"

Liang Wang said with a happy face: "Third brother, do you know what I found out?"

"what?"

Liang Wang smiled: "Third brother, I heard from the officials who went to the palace gate that this Jia Heng beat Liu Fang of the Duke of Liguo and the eldest son of the Wang family of Xining County. Heng."

Hearing this, Song Jing put down the teacup in his hand, frowned and asked, "Why did Jia Ziyu beat the two of you?"

Since he was helping the king of Wei to welcome the guests in the morning, he did not know about the dispute between Jia Heng and Jin and Liu.

Liang Wang and Chen Wei explained what he had seen before, and said: "However, the father did not blame him, but also reprimanded Jin and Liu for their disrespect and rudeness to the Minister of Military Affairs. He was also fined a salary."

Wei Wang Chen Ran frowned, turned his consulting eyes to Song Yuan, and asked doubtfully, "What do you think, uncle?"

"It's nothing to argue about state affairs at the Military Aircraft Department, but what did Jia Ziyu mention at the Military Aircraft Department that caused this dispute." Song Jing frowned, with a thoughtful expression on his refined and fair face.

Liang Wang and Chen Wei said with a half-smile, "I heard that they wanted to lead the Beijing camp to Henan to prepare for the bandits. Jia Heng also said that the Henan Dusi officials who went to Runing Mansion to suppress the bandits suffered a big defeat, and the rebellious army may sweep the counties of Henan Province." , and even broke the Kaifeng mansion, suggesting that the Beijing camp transfer troops into Luo to guard against bandit chaos.”

At this moment, with the spread of time, or fueled by people with good intentions, most officials in Shenjing City have learned some details, and they are all discussing Jia Heng's deduction.

King Wei's complexion changed slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Uncle, there is chaos in Henan? Is this a bit alarmist?"

Song Jing frowned, his eyes flickered, and asked: "Jia Ziyu said so, did he get the Henan military newspaper?"

"Where is there any military newspaper? I heard that everything is Jia Heng's child talking in his sleep!" Liang Wang Chen Wei was talking, and suddenly he saw his brother Wei Wang glaring at him, and quickly restrained his sneer, saying: "This is Jia Heng. Heng Xiaoer said that the Henan government and army are vulnerable, and the rebel army may take advantage of the emptiness of Kaifeng to break the government of Henan."

"This..." King Wei paused for a while on the teacup he had just picked up, and exchanged glances with his uncle Song Jing.

"Third brother also thinks it's incredible?" Liang Wang Chen Wei sneered, and said: "Cabinet ministers and military aircraft ministers, Mr. Shi, and the military aircraft driver all find it incredible, or they all say that his child is talking in his sleep."

Liang Wang said with a sneer and said: "I heard that there is no one in the Military Aircraft Office who agrees. Jia Ziyu is ashamed this time. The Liguo family and the Wang family of Xining County did not deal with Jia Heng. I guess most of them are ridiculed. After a few words, this Jia Ziyu was furious and turned into anger. He took advantage of his authority as the governor of Jinyi to beat the two of them. There's been a lot of turmoil."

Wei Wang Chen Ran's face was solemn, and he was speechless for a while, while Song Jing was also thinking about the pros and cons.

Liang Wang Chen Wei said: "Third brother, do you want to visit the family of Li Guogong and the Wang family of Xining County? One of these two families is in the Five Army Commander's Mansion, and the other is in the northwest..."

Wei Wang Chen Ran hesitated for a moment, looked at his uncle, shook his head and said: "Forget it, just send the steward to visit."

Compared with Jia Ziyu, who was in charge of Jingying and Jinyi Mansion, these few people couldn't be compared with each other, and he was a little panicked without his father's acquiescence.

Song Jing held the teacup, took a sip, and said in a low voice, "Why did Jia Ziyu make such an inference? No matter how bad the Henan army is, it won't be..."

"Who knows, he really thinks he is a god, and he can count on his fingers, and he is a prophet." Liang Wang Chen Wei also lifted the teapot, poured a cup, and said with a chuckle.

Wei Wang Chen Ran thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Uncle, fourth uncle, is he a county magistrate in Henan now?"

Song Jing said: "I am the county magistrate in Xiangfu County under Kaifeng Prefecture. This is about to reach its full rank. If it is moved according to the full rank, at least one Tongzhi or magistrate should be transferred for this time. , I was originally the county magistrate, but now I have served two terms."

Unlike Song Jing, who had no fame and fame and could only be a sixth-rank guest at Honglu Temple, Song Xuan, the fourth son of the Song family, was born in a serious family.

Wei Wang Chen Ran asked: "Fourth uncle, two Jinshi, moved to two counties, why is the promotion so slow?"

If he could have his four uncles come to help, he would also have a right-hand man.

Song Jing sighed and said, "Who made him have a sister who is a queen and a sister who is a concubine."

Empress Song has four siblings, Empress Song is the elder sister of the Song family, Concubine Duan Rong is the second elder sister of the Song family, Song Jing is the third, and Song Xuan is the fourth.

Song Xuan is much younger than her elder sisters and elder brothers who are in their early thirties. She is only 25 or 20 years old. It is inevitable that her elder sister will receive more attention, which will affect her official career. Instead of being selected as a scholar in the Imperial Academy, she went to other places.

Emperor Chongping even sent Song Xuan to be the magistrate of a selected county before. Later, because of his outstanding political achievements and superior evaluation, he was strongly recommended by the Ministry of Officials. In the end, Emperor Chongping suppressed him and was transferred to Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture.

Now that the rank is full of two terms, the promotion will be faster if you go up, or you can be the magistrate, the magistrate, or the state magistrate no matter how bad you are.

Wei Wang Chenran suddenly thought of something, frowned and said: "Uncle, I just heard from the sixth brother that according to Jia Ziyu's deduction, if the army of the Runing Mansion is defeated, the road to Kaifeng Mansion will be smooth for the bandits. Uncle is in Xiangfu County. Isn't it under the dangerous wall?"

Liang Wang Chen Wei frowned and said: "Third brother, listen to that Jia Heng's nonsense! It's his false threats. I have inquired about it. The Henan Metropolitan Army has sent several guards, ten to twenty thousand soldiers, to ensure that nothing will go wrong. Jia Heng talked to himself there, there are so many people in the Military Aircraft Department and the cabinet, but none of them believed it, even the emperor who loved him so much, did not believe his nonsense."

Wei Wang Chen Ran put down the teacup, with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "Jia Ziyu seemed to have expected the chaos in the Beijing camp before. When Prince Teng's army was in chaos, Jia Ziyu predicted it in advance and decisively sent troops to suppress it."

Because he spent a lot of time in Wucheng Bingmasi, Wei Wang Chen Ran, who is a "dog licker", knows some of Jia Heng's deeds like the back of his hand.

Song Jing then said: "At the beginning, he seemed to be using Jinyi Mansion's scouting eyes and ears. Jin Yi Mansion's eyes and ears are everywhere in Shenjing, and I'm afraid it's beyond the reach of the local area."

Liang Wang Chen Wei picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "What uncle said is that he is nothing after leaving Jinyi Mansion."

Wei Wang Chen Ran thought for a while, his brows relaxed, and he murmured: "A provincial government is under heavy guard, so I am too worried."

Then, looking at Liang Wang Chen Wei, he said seriously: "Sixth brother, don't be too harsh on Jia Ziyu."

Liang Wang and Chen Wei said plainly: "Brother Wang, I didn't target him. You can see how the father favored him, and the fifth sister gave me a lot of shame because of him. I didn't even know he had What kind of ability, if he hadn't gone through my aunt's way and met my father, he would still be nesting in Liutiao'er alley, but now he has become more prestigious, and he has a cold face in front of you, looking arrogant."

Song Jing shook her head, and said in a deep voice, "You can't say that, Jia Ziyu is still capable."

"It's just a matter of fooling the emperor." Liang Wang Chen Wei said.

Wei Wang Chen Ran said angrily: "What nonsense, with the sageness of the emperor, how can you allow incompetent people to fool you?"

Liang Wang and Chen Wei pursed their mouths, stretched out their hands, and said, "Okay, just obey him. After a few days, the Henan Army Report will come, and his face will be swollen."

That's why he looked bored.

The fifth sister helped that Jia Heng, and she could still say that the female university was not allowed to stay, but the third brother also defended it like this. Do you really think that someone in charge of the army will help you enter the East Palace?

What about dreaming?
People are hanging on to you!
In fact, licking a dog can't wake you up, but Qing's brother, who is a bystander, hates iron and steel.

Don't mention Wei Wang and Liang Wang's brothers and brothers Gong.

However, Princess Chu Zhen Qing and Princess Beijing Zhen Xue came to the backyard accompanied by their mothers and maidservants, and were received by Song Jing's wife, Shen Shi. , but still the elder of Princess Chu.

Zhen Qing looked at Song Yan at the side, a twelve-year-old girl, wearing a light yellow dress, combing her bangs, with two earrings in her earlobe, sculpted eyebrows and phoenix eyes, bright eyes, and a white greasy face. Ruxue's oval face, with soft and quiet features, looks a bit like Queen Song.

Zhen Qing looked at Song Yan, and said with a smile: "Auntie, Yan'er is already this big, did you ever agree to it?"

According to the rules of etiquette, Princess Chu wants to call Empress Song as her mother, so Empress Song's siblings are Zhen Qing's aunts.

"Not yet." Song Jing's wife, Shen Shi, smiled and said, "It's not in a hurry, it's not yet the age of Ji."

In fact, she has taken a fancy to her nephew Liang Wang Chen Wei, and when Liang Wang Chen Wei opens the mansion two years later, her daughter will be older, so she will get closer.

Zhen Qing smiled and said: "It's also because my family is too young, otherwise such a good character has to be settled down."

Princess Zhenxue of Beijing listened and pinched the handkerchief.

Secretly thought, earlier, my sister also said that she wanted to kiss her Jia Xin'er, but she knew it was just talking for fun.

However, even Zhen Xue, who is a compatriot of the same mother, doesn't know what her sister Zhen Qing thinks in her heart. Is it normal that her son will be the prince's man in the future, and there will be groups of concubines and continuous heirs?
Hearing the mention of her own marriage, Song Yanfang felt a little ashamed, she lowered her head, and the little girl's snow-white cheeks were stained with a blush.

At this time, she was with Shui Xin, the daughter of Princess Zhen Xue of Bei Jing, who was turning over the flower rope, Nuo Nuo asked, "Sister, why are you blushing?"

Song Yan: "???"

When Song Yan heard this, she couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch Shui Xin's pink face, and said softly, "Sister, help you turn the flower rope."

Shen asked again: "Why don't you see the King of Chu today?"

Zhen Qing smiled and said: "Didn't he just take over the job of supervising the imperial mausoleum? He's so busy that he doesn't touch the ground every day. He's been running to Weinan County for the past few days and doesn't spend much time at home. Sister-in-law, big brother, isn't he? Went to Gongling?"

While speaking, a pair of long, narrow and clear eyes looked at Xiang Shi, who was wearing a water-green dress and a green bun with clouds not far away. listen.

At this time, Wen Ting asked, and said: "My lord, he said that the errands are urgent and he dare not delay. Recently, he is staying at the governor's office near Gongling. After the various affairs in Gongling start, he can relax."

Compared with Zhen Qing, who has a strong personality, she speaks and laughs freely, her voice is clear and clear, Xiang's face is like a small moon, her brows and eyes are gentle, she looks like a jade from a small family, her voice is soft and waxy, which is a bit in contrast to her identity as a sister-in-law.

Zhen Qing had a gloomy face, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, she said: "Speaking of which, I blame those officials from the Ministry of Industry for their tampering with everything, even Gongling, they dare to move, they are simply daring and lawless."

Shen asked curiously: "Some time ago, the Jinyi Mansion arrested many officials, and many people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were sent to prison?"

At the end, there was a look of lingering fear on his face.

When she was a child, she also heard from her family that there was a big prison, and it was really horrible.

Princess Zhenxue of Beijing said softly: "These days the house is still raided. Many criminals' nearby residences have been sealed up by the Jinyi Mansion, and the people from the House of Internal Affairs followed suit to count their belongings."

Shen said with emotion: "I heard from my master that a lot of property was confiscated from these criminal officials' homes, which is more than the annual expenditure of the national treasury."

"But I have copied a lot of good items, and some of them are being sold in the East and West markets. I have been thinking of sending someone to buy two of them in the past two days." Zhen Qing smiled and said, then glanced at Qi The Princess of the County, Xiang Shi, asked: "Sister-in-law, when will we also pick two pieces?"

This is to stab Xiang Shi with words, because when King Qi was deposed as the county king, he had to make up for the profit from the Sanhe Gang and sold many things from his family.

Xiang Shi's bright eyes were fixed, and he smiled softly: "My lord doesn't like this. If there are ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, I'd like to pick a few and let my lord cultivate my temperament."

Obviously, this Mrs. Xiang is not stupid. Although she is Xiaojiabiyu, she hides her needles and keeps her face.

Zhen Qing smiled and said with emotion: "That's really a pity."

My heart is cold, this is the opposite, she doesn't know what kind of character King Qi is?Greedy for wealth, living extravagantly.

Her family's prince is only interested in these antique calligraphy and paintings. This is to fight back against her.

Zhen Xue vaguely heard that she was not dealing with it, but frowned.

A group of women gathered in the back house, besides talking about their children, they were talking about the official affairs of the men when they were away.

While several people were talking, a nun walked around the screen and said, "Princess, madam, Concubine Nan'an is here."

Shen Shi also took the opportunity to change the topic, smiled and said: "I think it's time for the old concubine to come over."

Because the little granddaughter of Concubine Nan'an was recently canonized by the Son of Heaven as Concubine of the King of Wei, the Prince of Nan'an married the King of Wei. It is impossible not to come.

Moreover, the day of the big wedding has been discussed recently. After all, it is the Queen Yuanzi, and the feudal king is marrying the main concubine, and a grand and enthusiastic ceremony will be held.

While speaking, Concubine Nan'an entered the hall with a group of nuns, but to Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue's surprise, besides Luo Shi, the princess of Nan'an County, there were Xu Shi, the mother of Zhen Guo Bull Jizong, and Niu Jizong's wife Chu.

It turned out that Mrs. Xu, the wife of the Duke of Zhen, went to visit Liu Fang in the mansion of the Duke of Li, and met Concubine Nan'an.

Of course, he also wanted to cling to the king of Wei. Following the martial arts represented by Nan'an and Beijing surrendered to the emperor, even the king of Nan'an County became in-laws with Emperor Chongping, and Duke Zhen and Duke Shan also changed their course.

As for the Luo family, the princess of Nan'an County passed away early, and Luo's family was supported by the side concubine two years ago. The daughter she gave birth to was promised to the king of Wei, Chen Ran. In terms of background, the king of Wei also came from a concubine first and then a concubine. .

King Nan'an entered the hall, and all the women exchanged greetings.

Zhen Qing smiled and said: "Old concubine, I just heard the magpies calling in the treetops, but you are always here, why did you come after a while, we have already had lunch."

Concubine Nan'an's smile faded a bit, and she said: "At noon, I went to Liu's family and Jin's family first, something happened to their two families, Liu Fang's nephew and the young prince of Jin's family, let Ningguo Uncle Heng of the mansion gave dozens of sticks and asked the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment."

When Zhen Qing heard the words, her heart trembled slightly, her clear eyes flickered, and she asked, "How do you say that?"

Zhen Xue also raised her gentle and graceful face curiously, looked at Concubine Nan'an with soft eyes, and asked, "What's going on here? Why are you still doing something in the palace?"

Although it was said earlier that Luo's sister Zhen Qing always pays attention to Ningguo's Uncle Heng, but under the influence of her ears and eyes, Zhen Xue also became a little curious.

The Shen family on the side also looked at Concubine Nan'an, waiting for her words.

His daughter Song Yan put down the flower rope in her hand, raised a pretty face that looked like Queen Song, and looked over.

Concubine Nan'an sat down and said: "Once the master Heng of Jia's East Mansion gained power, the villain got his ambitions, and his relatives did not recognize him. Needless to say, the matter of the Ministry of Industry not long ago, now the Duke of Liguo's , Wang's family in Xining County, he offended him because of his dissent."

In the case of the Ministry of Industry the day before yesterday, Concubine Nan'an went to the Rongguo Mansion to plead for mercy, but she lost face. Today, when she went to the Mansion of Liguo Duke, she talked with her and learned that Mrs. Sun of Liguotai was similar, and found a sympathy for her.

Niu Jizong's wife, the Chu family, said: "The old concubine is talking about the one from the Ningguo Mansion. Why do you say that? In terms of merits, there are no merits that can be counted. Right now, he is sealed as a first-class man. Today, he still says that my master is going to go. The Runing Mansion will be defeated, isn't this cursing my master for something to happen?"

Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife, said: "I heard that this person was originally a concubine. This kind of sudden fortune is so poor that he suddenly gained power. I don't know what to do. His mind is extreme."

"The old lady's words are reasonable. It is said that three generations can't raise a nobleman. This kind of family, who was originally a poor branch of the Duke's mansion, suddenly gained power. Isn't it just frivolous and crazy?" Nan'an Concubine Electric nodded and said.

Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife, Mrs. Xu said: "But now the palace is favored for something. When we went to visit Liu's nephew, we heard that the palace also fined Liu Fang's nephew's salary. Isn't this just arguing?"

"It can't be said like that." Shen frowned, stopped the resentful words, and secretly said, this Mrs. Niu's wife is so ignorant, can she say such nonsense?

Mrs. Xu also consciously slipped her words, and quickly said: "I don't mean that, that is to say, I love you too much. Today's young people don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and Mrs. Rong Guotai is also generous, so she doesn't care much about him."

When she said those words just now, she also borrowed the wind from Shen Shi to blow into the ears of that person in Kunning Palace.

"This elder sister of the Jia family also has difficulties, so it's not easy to take care of her." At this time, Concubine Nan'an continued, and said in a low voice: "This kind of concubine has just gained power. After entering the Ning Mansion, the elder sister of the Jia family must have been bullied by him."

Luo Shi, the wife of Grand Concubine Nan'an, answered: "I heard from the Wang family's daughter-in-law that this Uncle Heng is like an overlord at home, he wants to reprimand whomever he wants, and even takes care of the marriage of the girls of the Xifu."

As she said that, she looked up at Princess Chu Zhen Qing and said, "Concubine Zhen, it seems like this happened last time, Lord Chu..."

Princess Chu Zhen Qing was noncommittal, and said with a faint smile on her face, "I don't know about this."

Concubine Nan'an put her hands under the table and tugged at the sleeves of her daughter-in-law.

Luo Shi hurriedly laughed and said: "That's my memory, it seems that the daughter-in-law of the Wang family told the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion that she was a relative, and said that she was a general of Datong, but in the end, this Uncle Heng pushed her away. The eldest girl in the second room of the country is also very pitiful, she is in her twenties."

These words are of course seeking compensation, and if they fail to seek compensation, they will start talking about right and wrong and diverting the victim of harm.

Zhen Xue was listening and glanced at Luo Shi, feeling a sense of disgust in her heart.

The second miss of the Zhen family was considered close friends with Yuan Chun back then.

Concubine Nan'an shook her head, and said: "It's not easy for the elder sister of the Jia family. Not long ago, something happened in the Rongguo Mansion. The father and son were exiled to Guizhou, and even the title of Rongguo was lost. What should the elder sister of the Jia family do?" It's uncomfortable, this Dongfu is getting more and more powerful, and that's why this kind of thing happened."

Mrs. Xu said, "It's such a rationale. It's unbearable to watch the concubine insult the direct branch."

Zhen Qing's eyes were slightly cold. What does it mean to use a concubine to bully a concubine? You must know that the father is also a concubine, and his husband is also a concubine. What happened to the concubine?
As for Concubine Nan'an and Mrs. Xu of Zhen Guotai, several people talked to each other, as if they had opened Jia Heng's criticism meeting through Wei Wang's mansion.

Listening to the conversation of several people, Shen smiled and said: "Old concubine, what are you talking about? Some people don't understand, which family is this talking about?"

Concubine Nan'an said: "???"

Cooperating with her for a long time wasted, wasted work?

Zhen Xue said softly: "It's that Uncle Heng from Ningguo Mansion, but is there some misunderstanding here?"

Song Yan raised her eyes and glanced at her mother, bit her pink lips with her white teeth, and thought to herself, her mother said this deliberately, presumably because she didn't want to participate in these behind-the-scenes matters?
I don't know how that Jia Heng from Ningguo Mansion offended so many people?
Zhen Qing's eyes flickered, watching this scene, for some reason, she felt like laughing.

Zhen Xuexiu frowned, looked at Concubine Nan'an, and sighed inwardly.

The old concubine held a grudge against the Jia family and that Uncle Heng because of the incident with the Ministry of Industry the day before yesterday.

Xiang Shi picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and hung it high without saying a word, as it had nothing to do with him.

Concubine Nan'an looked at Mrs. Shen and said: "Mrs. Shen doesn't know something. What did you say when Mr. Heng was in the court meeting today? I heard that the officials in Beijing are impeaching them because of this matter."

Zhen Qingxiuli's willow leaf eyebrows condensed, her beautiful eyes twinkled, she wanted to impeach her?

Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Zhen Guogong, said, "What do you impeach him for?"

At this moment, the two old hags sang together, almost laughing at each other, which is why Zhen Qing found it funny again just now.

"If you don't impeach him, who will you impeach?" Nan'an Concubine said, looking at Shen Shi again, and asked: "Mrs. Shen, I remember that Song Jiashilang is now the county magistrate in Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, right? Look at what he said earlier What did you say? He said that the Runing Mansion’s officers and soldiers were bound to be defeated, they fought all the way to Kaifeng Mansion, and Henan was in chaos... His colleagues in the Military Aircraft Department didn’t believe him. An old friend of the Rongguo Mansion, I want to remind him a few words, don't be too frivolous, he is fine, he has played his prestige as the governor in Jinyi, and beat the nephew of the Liu family and the prince of Xining County."

Concubine Nan'an shook her head when she said this, "Young people nowadays, if they gain some power, they will be great."

Shen frowned and said, "This..."

Luo Shi continued, "Mrs. Shen, there are probably quite a few more memorials to impeach him in the past few days."

Grand Concubine Nan'an looked at Xiang Shi, who was sitting quietly beside her, and asked: "Princess Qi, if I remember correctly, it was Jia Heng and Prince Qi who did not deal with it back then?"

Zhen Qing looked at this scene with a gloomy expression, secretly thought, this is a gang formation, to deal with that Uncle Heng?
And Zhen Xue's daughter, Shui Xin, put down the flower rope, stared at them with wide eyes, and there was a bit of curiosity on her pink face.

"Sister Song, who are you talking about?" Shui Xin asked Song Yan who was beside her in a soft voice with her big watery eyes open.

Song Yan pinched Shui Xin's pink face, and said with a sweet smile: "My lord's business, my sister doesn't know either."

Zhen Qing quickly changed the subject, and asked, "Old Concubine, Aunt, Wei Wangdi's good son, what date has been set?"

"It has been preliminarily determined. At the end of this month, it is an auspicious day for marriage. At that time, all families will be ordered to go to the palace, and the palace will also hold a ceremony for the canonization of feudal kings." Nan'an Princess laughed.

Always talking about the Jia family's affairs is a bit unlucky, so it's good to talk about happy events.

Zhen Xue said with emotion: "That ceremony is really grand."

Shen also quickly changed the subject and said, "The Holy Majesty is going to give a banquet to all the officials in Xihe Palace."

Zhen Qing's complexion remained unchanged, but a strange feeling surged in her heart.

I remember that when she was canonized as the Princess of Chu, although there was also a ceremony for the conferment of the imperial family, the officials did not give a banquet, and it was not as lively as this.

Xiang Shi also squeezed the handkerchief beside her, and with her eyes downcast, she clearly had some thoughts in her mind.

Mrs. Zhen Guogong smiled and said: "That day, the Qin family will probably come too. I heard that this is the daughter of a small family. It is probably the first time I have seen such a big ceremony."

When Jia Heng took away Guoyongying from Niu Jizong, the Niu family always hated it.

Compared to the King of Nan'an who just couldn't understand Jia Heng's frivolity, the Niu family almost hated Jia Heng who took away the Guoyong camp, and even stopped dealing with the Ning Mansion.

"Now she's not the daughter of a small family. This time, she has recruited a third-rank official. The case of the Ministry of Industry will be picked up by Ningguo." Nan'an Concubine said with a light smile, and said: "Just I'm afraid that in the past few days, many speech officials will use this matter to impeach him."

Seeing this scene, Shen frowned, and thought to herself, it was fine just now, why did it start again?

Zhen Xue pursed her cherry lips, feeling a little helpless.
