The eldest son of the red mansion

"It's getting more and more nonsense, how can a man give birth to a child."

"When I say having a child, I mean that he will be able to raise a child. The political lord now has an elder son——Jia Ke. You may have heard of this name." Leng Zixing said proudly.

Jia Yucun was shocked when he heard this. He was obsessed with official career, so he naturally understood the court affairs clearly.He may not know much about others, but he knows Jia Ke clearly. This is the current head minister of the Military Aircraft Department. He can be regarded as the chief assistant of the cabinet. .

Jia Yucun hurriedly asked: "Could it be Mr. Jia, the chief minister of the Military Aircraft Department?"

Hearing his question, Leng Zixing slapped his legs and said, "This is Lord Jia."

After Jia Yucun heard this, his face was full of shock. He didn't expect that Rongguo Mansion, which had already fallen, would now have such a character, who brought Rongguo Mansion back to the level of the top family.

Leng Zixing looked at the shock on Jia Yucun's face, and with a smug smile on his lips, he continued: "Compared to this eldest son, the children born to Mr. Zheng's concubine are also extraordinary. Jia Zhu entered school at the age of 14, later married a wife and had children, and now she is less than 20 years old, and now she has passed the exam, and her future is boundless."

When Jia Yucun heard what he said about Jia Zhu, he didn't take it seriously, just because the eldest son of the concubine was so shocking. Compared with Jia Ke, Jia Zhu's achievements were nothing.

"The second child gave birth to a young lady. It's strange to be born on the first day of the new year, and this eldest lady is now a concubine in the emperor's palace. She is also promising."

"This political lord is really good at having children. With these children supporting the Rongguo Mansion, at least it can continue to prosper for a few more generations." Jia Yucun continued to compliment Leng Zixing from time to time while Leng Zixing was speaking.

"I don't think that after more than ten years, another son was born. It's even more strange: as soon as the twin was born, a piece of colorful and crystal-clear jade was held in his mouth, and there were many handwritings."

After listening to Leng Zixing's words, Jia Yucun's tone was also flattering: "Thinking about this third young master, he also has a background."

Unexpectedly, Leng Zixing said with a cold smile: "This time, brother, you guessed wrong. Compared with his two elder brothers, this one is really the root of the prodigal. This little boy drew lots when he was one year old. What was caught was the rouge box, so Mr. Zheng thought he was a drunk and lustful person, and he had to be strictly disciplined. But his grandmother loved him like a jewel in the palm of his hand, and she took him to her side to raise him personally. Mr. Zheng has nothing to do with him. Now only Knowing that he was hanging out among the pretty maids, he also said: "Daughters are made of flesh and blood, and men are made of mud. When I see a daughter, I feel refreshed, and when I see a man, I feel stinky." Now Mr. Zheng has two Cheng Qi's son, now he has been left alone."

Hearing what he said, Jia Yucun wanted to cling to him, so he said in a sharp voice: "No, since he can be born with jade, he is very smart. As long as he is taught to read and learn etiquette, he will have a bright future."

At this time, Leng Zixing also realized that he had made some mistakes in what he said just now. If it got to the ears of the Jia family, Mrs. Wang would have to peel her own skin, so he quickly made amends, "Yes, I think so too. Those ordinary people outside, It must have been wrong."

After Leng Zixing finished speaking, he quickly changed the subject, "In addition to this Mr. Zheng, Mr. She also has a son, Jia Lian. But this son doesn't like to study, but he is really proficient in general affairs. Now he has donated a colleague, Helping his uncle with housework. Later, Mrs. Wang made the decision and married her niece. Now this young mistress is in charge of the entire Rongguo Mansion's internal affairs. She is shrewd and capable, has a distinctive appearance, and speaks frankly and neatly. Madam Jia's favorite."

When Jia Yucun heard this, the desire to cling to him became stronger, but he had no way out, so he couldn't help sighing repeatedly.

"Hey, I have met this second master Lian. He came to express condolences for our wife a few days ago. I saw him from a distance in the lobby. He is indeed a handsome and suave talent. He really deserves to be from everyone. Pity me It’s just a poor family, so it’s a lifelong regret not to be able to get to know him.”

Seeing him like this, Leng Zixing asked him about the situation during this period of time. Jia Yucun was so bored that he drank alcohol and told him about the frustration of this period of love, weeping while talking.

"To tell you the truth, brother, I have really had bad luck during this period. I was framed by someone for my good official position, and now I can only be a teacher for his daughter-in-law at the mansion of Yangzhou Xunyan Censor Lin. Now I think I can't gallop. It is really sad that the officialdom is all over the world." Jia Yucun said here and drank the wine on the table glass by glass, and now he is really using wine to drown his sorrows.

Leng Zixing laughed out loud after hearing what he said, and looked at Jia Yucun with mocking eyes while laughing.

Such a move annoyed Jia Yucun. Although this Leng Zixing had a lot of money, he was a Jinshi after all. How dare he laugh at himself like this. Although he has no official position now, there are still many in the same year. Just pulling his face down can make him bankrupt, so Jia Yucun said angrily: "Brother, what does this mean? Could it be that you are gloating at my misfortune, and you want to bully each other when you see me in trouble?"

Jia Yucun is already furious now, as long as Leng Zixing says something wrong, he will immediately write to everyone in the same year to show Leng Zixing some color.

Seeing that Jia Yucun was annoyed, Leng Zixing quickly stopped his laughter, handed Jia Yucun his hands and said, "It's not that my brother is making fun of me, but it's really that you have something to do with the Rongguo Mansion, but you don't know it."

Hearing what he said, Jia Yucun put away his angry expression, showed a curious expression, cupped his hands and said to him: "I offended you a lot just now, please forgive me, and show me the way."

"Don't you know, your employer, Lin Ruhai, is the son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion?"

Leng Zixing's words, like a bolt of lightning, broke the darkness in Jia Yucun's heart.

Chapter 310 Daiyu enters Beijing

After listening to Leng Zixing's words, Jia Yucun was inexplicably excited. He was in Lin Ruhai's mansion during this time, and he was treated favorably by Lin Ruhai, so he was very congenial with Lin Ruhai. If he asked him himself, there would be no problem.According to the relationship between Lin Ruhai and Jia's family, as long as Lin Ruhai sent a letter to Rongguo Mansion, his official position would not be at his fingertips.

So Cheng hurriedly bid farewell to Leng Zixing, rushed back to Lin's mansion, rested at the mansion overnight, and went to find Lin Ruhai early the next morning, and told him the farthest thing about the old court officials during this period.

Lin Ruhai laughed after hearing Jia Yucun's words: "What's so difficult about this? My elder brother is a first-class general in Beijing. Although my second elder brother is only a member of the Ministry of Industry, he has a great ancestral style. Jun Ji, I will write a letter to my second brother-in-law, presumably I will plan everything for my virtuous brother."

Lin Ruhai was also quite proud when he said this, because since Jia Ke became the head minister of the Military Aircraft Department, his job as the inspector of the salt censor was much easier than before, and many obstacles in the past seemed to be easily resolved.

Hearing what Lin Shuhai said, Jia Yucun was not happy, and bowed to Lin Ruhai again and again.

Lin Ruhai went on to say: "This time my virtuous brother is coming to Beijing, I still need my virtuous brother's help."

Jia Yucun hurriedly said, "Don't hesitate to ask Dong Weng if you have something to do, Wan Sheng will definitely do his best."

"It's nothing else. It's because Zhuojing died of illness. My mother-in-law missed my little girl very much, so I sent my nephew to pick up my little girl to Beijing for a reunion. It's just because my little girl is sick, so there is some delay. My little girl will be there on the second day of next month. If I want to go to Beijing, even though I have my nephew to take care of me, I still feel a little uneasy, so I would like to ask my virtuous brother to go with me, wouldn't it be convenient?"

Jia Yucun hurriedly bowed to accept the order, it was just a trivial matter, and he could get the favor of Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng because of it, how could he not be willing.So Jia Yucun went back to his room to rest, and only waited until the second day of the next month to enter Beijing with Lin Daiyu.

When it was the second day of junior high school, Jia Yucun followed the crowd to the pier. At this time, there were already three official ships parked on the pier, and there were still many yamen servants patrolling back and forth. It seemed that the yamen everywhere were flattering Jia Ke. .

At this time, Lin Ruhai took Lin Daiyu to the pier in a sedan chair, and there was a suave young man sitting on the horse in front of him, who was Jia Lian.

Seeing this, Jia Yucun hurried forward to greet Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian.

Lin Ruhai got out of the sedan chair, first helped Jia Yucun up, and then said to Jia Lian next to him, "This is my nephew Jia Lian." Then he introduced Jia Yucun to Jia Lian.

It was only now that Jia Yucun and Jia Lian met each other by greeting each other.

Then Lin Ruhai waved to the sedan chair that Lin Daiyu was riding behind, and the little girl was directly carried onto the official boat by several strong women.After boarding the official ship, in the wind-shielding pavilion in front of the official ship, Lin Daiyu got out of the sedan chair with the help of her maid and nurse, and then entered the inner cabin of the official ship and never came out again.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu had already made arrangements, Lin Ruhai turned around and said to Jia Yucun and Jia Lian, "I'll trouble you this time. Be careful along the way. When you get to the capital, let someone call me back, so I can rest assured."

Jia Lian and Jia Yucun said yes again and again, and they all agreed.Afterwards, the two of them also boarded the official ship, so the three gorgeous official ships went straight along the canal to the capital.

Let's not talk about Lin Daiyu's entry into Beijing, let's talk about Jia Ke's own actions during this period of time, which have greatly hindered the new emperor's governance.

However, relying on his orthodox position among civil servants, the new emperor still slowly began to grasp the situation in the court, and his power began to grow.It seemed that he had already gained the upper hand, but the Supreme Emperor was in the harem, watching the new emperor fighting with Jia Ke, and did not intervene. Only when Jia Ke was at a disadvantage, he spoke a few words to help him save the situation.

Although Jia Ke is now the head minister of the Military Aircraft Department, due to the support of the emperor, most of the power has been divided among several other ministers, and the emperor's power in the court has rapidly expanded. The chief minister of the military aircraft department has already existed in name only.But Jia Ke didn't do nothing. Because of Jia Ke's strict defense, the emperor had almost no foundation in the army.

The emperor was very satisfied with how quickly he gathered power, and did not further provoke the emperor, and he was also afraid that the emperor would become angry from embarrassment.After all, the Supreme Emperor now controls the army of the whole country.

And Jia Ke is not as powerful in the Military Aircraft Office as it used to be, but Jia Ke can still form a balance with several other Military Aircraft Ministers by virtue of the right to take over all the memorials in the world and refute the emperor.

Even so, Jia Ke's right to deal with specific affairs began to be weakened, which forced Jia Ke to concentrate all his energy on the army in the capital under his control.

Now Jia Ke only goes to the military aircraft office every morning, and then leaves on leave.Going to the various military camps in the capital to patrol, this is his foundation, and there is no room for loss.

Jia Ke's behavior made many upright ministers in the court feel helpless, feeling that the emperor had already disregarded face in order to fight for power and profit.And now Jia Ke no longer has the humility of his courtiers, and the two of them are like fighting cocks whenever they meet. Therefore, during this period of time, there will never be a day of peace in the dynasty.

That day, Jia Ke had just returned from the Xishan camp, and saw it as soon as he entered the house.Qin Keqing greeted her with a wide smile.While tidying up Jia Ke’s clothes, she said to him, “A new younger sister came to our family today. She is so handsome at such a young age. Compared with the three in our family, Baoyu met because she almost took Yu fell."

When Qin Keqing mentioned Jia Baoyu, a disdainful smile appeared on his mouth, which showed that he had seen enough of Jia Baoyu's foolishness today.

Jia Ke was taken aback when she heard her words, "Who is here to make you so happy?"

"It seems to be my aunt's daughter who rushed over from Yangzhou."

Hearing this, Jia Ke suddenly felt as if he had passed away. He was so busy fighting for power every day that he almost forgot that he was living in the Dream of the Red Chamber. Hearing Qin Keqing mention it today, he suddenly woke up as if in a dream. It was the Dream of the Red Chamber. It's time to start.

Qin Keqing packed Jia Ke's clothes, put him in the casual clothes at home, and ordered Lan Xiang, who was waiting on the side, to prepare dinner quickly.

Jia Ke sat on a rocking chair, picked up a book and flipped through a few pages, then casually asked Qin Keqing, "Who brought Auntie's daughter here?"
