The eldest son of the red mansion

"It seems to be a gentleman of the second master Lian and Miss Lin. Our master personally received this gentleman."

Jia Ke thought that this must be Jia Yucun. He frowned and thought carefully for a while. Although he is quite powerful in the army now, among civil servants, there are no decent people to join him.There may be some hindrances in the future.

This Jia Yucun's character is not very good, he is a typical white-eyed wolf, but I have to say that this person judges the situation and is quite talented.Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone from a guilty minister to the prefect of Jinling, and then quickly climbed to the position of Da Sima (Shangshu of the Ministry of War) in just a few years.

This person can still use it himself. As for Jia Yucun's loyalty, he didn't take it to heart.As for his poor character, now that he is employing people, he can't control so much. Besides, as long as he doesn't betray himself, these problems of his are no big deal.

So Jia Ke sent someone to call his servant Zhang Gui.

At this time, the dinner was ready, Jia Ke sat on the seat, and Qin Keqing sat beside her.The two began to eat.

Lan Xiang, as Qin Keqing's current confidant, stood beside them serving wine and serving dishes. Jia Ke's eating habits are almost the same as Jia Mu's.Jia Ke only tasted a bite or two of each dish on the table.

When the couple were eating, Rui Zhu came in from outside, and after saluting Jia Ke, she said in her crisp accent: "Master, your servant Zhang Guier is waiting outside, should he wait or what?"

"Let him in."

Rui Zhu went out immediately after hearing Jia Ke's order, and brought a handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen in after a while.

When Zhang Gui came into the room, he didn't dare to raise his head, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Ke, "The little one kowtowed to the master."

"I have something for you to do. You go to Rongguo Mansion and ask the young man in front of the master where the gentleman who sent the aunt and the girl lives, but what is the problem? Find out and come back to me .” Jia Ke casually gave orders while eating.

After listening to Jia Ke's instructions, Zhang Gui left Wuyanghou's mansion without daring to be negligent, and came to the foot gate of Rongguo mansion (since Zhang Gui is the moon gate where men cannot go through the inner gate, if you want to go to Rongguo mansion, you can only go to Rongguo mansion. Because the two houses can be said to be one family, and everyone at the door knows Zhang Gui, knowing that he is Jia Ke's servant, they don't stop him.

When Zhang Gui was about to reach Jia Zhengwai's study, he was stopped by someone.The people who came over saw him and recognized him as Jia Ke's man, so they asked, "Why are you here when you are not in the mansion to serve the uncle?"

Zhang Gui looked up, only to find that it was Jia Zheng who had just come out of the outer study with four or five people.

How dare Zhang Gui hide it?Immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Zheng, and then said: "Uncle heard that there is a guest in our house, and it is the daughter of my aunt's family. There is also a Mr. Xixi who came to see him off, so he ordered me to come and see it first. Do you need any help sir?"

After hearing what he said, Jia Zheng stroked his beard and nodded, thinking that Jia Ke was still very sophisticated.It happened that he also had something to say to Jia Ke, so he told Zhang Gui: "Let your uncle come over after dinner, I have something to discuss with him."

After speaking, he turned and left. Zhang Gui knelt there and didn't dare to get up until Jia Zheng's figure disappeared.There is no need to inquire now, let's hurry back and report to Jia Ke.

When Zhang Gui returned to Wuyanghou Mansion and reported to Jia Ke, it was getting late.Jia Ke and Qin Keqing were teasing Jia Zhi at this moment.

Jia Zhi has been able to open his eyes now, and is now curious about everything.No, now that he opened his eyes, following the bell in Jia Ke's hand, he turned around, and gave birth to two chubby little hands, which kept swinging in the air.

The father and son were having fun, so Ruizhu came in to report, "Master, Zhang Gui is back. He said he ran into the master. The master sent a message to let you go over to the house after dinner, saying that there is something to discuss."

As soon as Jia Ke heard that Jia Zheng asked him to go to the house to discuss something, he knew what was going on. Thanks to the blessing of seeing the Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Zheng was trying to find a way to arrange for Jia Yucun's recovery.

In the Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Yucun was able to regain his official position because of Prince Tengbao's performance. The second reason was that Jia Zheng was unable to help Jia Yucun at that time. Now it is different.Jia Ke is now pretending to be the head minister of the Military Aircraft Department, and it is only a matter of one sentence to get Jia Yucun back.

Because all the list of recovery must go through Jia Ke, if Jia Ke disagrees, the decree cannot be passed on, so no matter what the emperor's faction dare not offend Jia Ke too much, he will add one or two people to the list. No one dared to object.

Chapter 311 Jia Zhu

Jia Ke still came to Rongguo Mansion through the Moon Gate, passed through Jia Mu's courtyard, and came to Jia Zheng's residence next to Rongxi Hall. First, he went to Mrs. Wang's courtyard to greet Mrs. Wang, regardless of whether Jia Ke had feelings for Mrs. Wang or not. , which are indispensable.

As soon as Jia Ke entered Mrs. Wang's courtyard, she saw maids delivering food in a steady stream. It looked like Jia Zheng was eating at Mrs. Wang's place.

When Jia Ke came to the door, a little maid opened the curtain and let him in. When Jia Ke entered the room, he saw Jia Zheng sitting at a round table in the center having a meal, and Mrs. Wang accompanied him. Unexpectedly, Jia Zhu also exist.

When Jia Zheng saw Jia Ke coming in, he quickly greeted him and asked him to sit down and eat together.

"Father, you don't need to greet me. I just ate at the mansion." Jia Ke hurriedly said to Jia Zheng.

"Since that's the case, you can wait by the side first. I have something to say when it's over." Jia Zheng knew that he was well-clothed and well-fed in Wuyanghou's mansion, so he didn't persuade him much.

Jia Ke sat on the chair next to him and waited for about half an hour before Jia Zheng finished his meal and brought Jia Zhu over.

Jia Ke hurriedly stood up to greet each other, and then the father and son greeted each other again, and then sat down again.

It was Mrs. Wang's maid, Caixia, who came in dragging a tea tray, put a cup of tea in front of the father and son, and then left.

"Is there any difficulty in the government recently?" Jia Zheng asked bluntly. It seems that he also knows that Jia Ke is now in the court and is isolated by civil servants.

"Father, don't worry, what can happen to me, it's just some clowns coming out to play, and they can't touch me at all." Jia Ke answered Jia Zheng with a smile on his face.

Jia Zheng felt at ease in this way, "Then you have to be cautious and don't take it lightly. You must know that you have been the foreman of the military aircraft department at a young age, and I don't know how many people are waiting for you to make mistakes."

Jia Ke saw that Jia Zheng really cared about him, so he told him a thing or two, "Father, don't worry, these people are just pawns pushed forward by the emperor. As long as the emperor is safe, I will be as stable as Mount Tai."

Jia Zheng heard his words, not only did not feel at ease, but became worried, "Even so, the Supreme Emperor will collapse sooner or later. You have to think about the future. Who said that Yuanchun is still in the palace, but he is not favored now. In the future Whether it can help us or not is up to two.”

Jia Ke still agreed with Jia Zheng's words, but he couldn't tell Jia Zheng that everything was already ready and he owed Dongfeng. As soon as the Supreme Emperor died, he would no longer play this cat-and-mouse game with the Emperor. The reason why he is so forbearing is just to repay the trust of the Supreme Emperor in him.

Regarding this matter, in Jia Ke's heart, whether it is true compassion or false compassion, there is always a knot in Jia Ke's heart. The Supreme Emperor is really good to Jia Ke. Although there are still some doubts, as a monarch to his subjects, the Supreme Emperor has treated Jia Ke with the utmost benevolence. up.So Jia Ke kept thinking in his heart that as long as the Supreme Emperor didn't do anything to him, he would let the Supreme Emperor be a peaceful emperor until his death.

So Jia Ke quickly changed the conversation, "I don't know what the father is calling me for in the future?"

Jia Zheng was a little stunned at this moment, and talked with Jia Ke about the court affairs for a while, but he forgot the business to be done today.

"To wake you up, I really have something to do. Your uncle Lin Ruhai wrote a letter, basically asking us to help his teacher, Jia Yucun, with a certain position." Jia Zheng is all his own family, and he didn't hide it.

"Father, what do you think of this man?"

"From my perspective, this man has a round waist and thick arms, a broad face, a square mouth, sword eyebrows and star eyes, a straight nose and cheeks. He is really good-looking. I think he must be a talented person. That's why I asked you to help him." Him." Jia Zheng still praised Jia Yucun's elegant demeanor till now.

When Jia Ke heard what he said, he only felt that this appearance was a traitorous figure, but he didn't take it to heart, he didn't care what kind of traitorous hero you are, as soon as he saw me, he would turn you into a bear.

So Jia Ke said to Jia Zheng: "That's it, I will meet him at the Marquis Wuyang Mansion tomorrow afternoon. Father told him to go."

"This won't affect you, right? After all, you have just refuted the emperor's will, but you yourself want to recommend criminal ministers." Jia Zheng was a little worried about Jia Ke's reputation.

"Father, don't worry, those people in the Military Aircraft Department, which one is not a large number of recommenders, I only recommended this one, is it still a small number? How dare they say this." Jia Ke said this is not true To be honest, since the emperor ordered the reinstatement of the old ministers, several people in the Military Aircraft Department arranged for more than a dozen people to be reinstated.

Now, if Jia Ke arranges for people to recover, it will also reassure them. After all, a swan suddenly appeared out of a bunch of crows, and the crows are still very stressed. Now that the swan has also turned into a crow, they are naturally happy.

Seeing Jia Ke's generous promise, Jia Zheng knew Jia Ke's ability, so he no longer cared about it.

Seeing that the two of them had finished talking, Jia Zhu, who was sitting by the side, hurriedly said to Jia Zheng: "My lord, my son has been recuperating for a while and his health has improved quite a bit. This year, spring will be held soon. Father, please allow your son to participate."

Although Jia Zhu recuperated his body during this period, he did not forget about the imperial examination in his heart.After all, being born in such a family, although on the surface it is said that he doesn't care about the size of the official position, in fact, he can't let go of it in his heart.As a concubine, Jia Ke is already a high-ranking official, but as a concubine, he has been considered the hope of the family since he was a child, but he is still just a juren. If he wants to be an official, he may only be a seventh-rank Officer Zhima, there is not much hope of promotion in the future, this is not something Jia Zhu can tolerate.

Jia Zheng's face became ugly when he heard his words. Since Jia Zhu was seriously ill and nearly died last time, Jia Zheng forced Jia Zhu to rest in the mansion. He had just recovered in that scene, so he had to think about the imperial examination.

"You bastard, how long has it been? You don't want your life. Even if you want to die, you have to think about your parents' worries about you. Think about how much your mother has worried about you over the years. Can you continue to make her worry about you?"

Jia Ke was there when Jia Zhu was seriously ill, and knew that Jia Zhu's body would only last for another year or two. If she took the imperial examination at this time, she might not be able to last for another year or two.

Now that Jia Ke heard Jia Zheng's reprimand to Jia Zhu, he felt that it was very reasonable, so he also comforted Jia Zhu.

"Second brother, why should you be so persistent? It's just a matter of being an official. I'll take care of the matter of Jia Yu Village with you this time. Let you put a county magistrate near the capital first. What do you think?" Jia Ke wanted to come to Jia Zhu was yearning for officialdom, so he studied hard, so he thought it would be better to follow his wish and let him taste the joy of being an official at the last moment.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he stared at Jia Ke, wanting to reprimand Jia Ke.But Mrs. Wang came out of the room suddenly, came to the three of them, father and son, and asked Jia Ke with red eyes, "Is what the elder brother said true?"
