Honglouchun

The inner door opened, and it was Baoyu who came to meet him.

Baoyu winked at Jia Qiang with his back on his back and made a strange face before welcoming him in.

When Jia Qiang entered, she saw a middle-aged man with a round waist and a thick back, a wide face, a square mouth, sword eyebrows and star eyes, a straight nose and a right cheek standing there. He was dressed in a third-rank official robe. It's not bad, but in front of this person, he really has no aura at all.

Even though, it seems that this person has lowered his posture very much, which is quite pleasing to Jia Zheng.

However, after Jia Qiang came in, she looked at this person with cold eyes, and the atmosphere changed instantly.

Although Jia Yucun had heard a lot about Jia Qiang, he felt lucky.

After all, speaking of him being of the same generation as Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng, not to mention that Jia Zheng is Jia Qiang's ancestor, even Lin Ruhai is also Jia Qiang's husband.

Maybe Jia Qiang will meet him with the courtesy of a junior?

However, Jia Qiang's gaze immediately made him understand that he was thinking too much.

After many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Jia Yucun soon found his place.

What is a mere decency compared to a bright future?

Now it is the third grade of the official residence, and it is about to change the red clothes to the purple robes, but Jia Yucun is still willing to show face at this moment, forgetting the nobleness of Kejia, bowing first and saying: "Xiaguan Jia Yucun, I have seen Ning Hou!"

Jia Zheng and his son were stunned by this scene.

It is Jia Zheng, who just discussed with Jia Yucun on an equal footing.

It seems that at this moment, Jia Zheng and Baoyu realized the preciousness of Jia Qiang, he was not just tyrannical at home...

Jia Qiang returned the salute lightly, and said flatly, "The eunuch's status is noble, so there's no need to be so."

Jia Yucun didn't appear to be disobedient and humiliated at all. He got up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is a hereditary prince. What kind of noble word can you talk about in front of His Majesty?" Thanks to Master Lin and Shi Weng's appreciation, he was able to enter Jinling as the magistrate of Yingtian, and now he has been promoted to Beijing as a servant. This kindness is like rebuilding..."

Jia Zheng was smiling, and was about to say a few words of politeness, when Jia Qiang asked coldly, "How does this kindness compare to Gusu Zhen Shiyin?"

As soon as this remark came out, Jia Yucun's expression changed immediately.

It's not that he didn't know that the girl Xiangling had fallen into Xue's house, and he also found out that Xiangling had become Jia Qiang's roommate.

But why did Jia Yucun take this matter seriously, and even prepared to pretend to be a matchmaker!

But he never expected that Jia Qiang would directly escalate this matter to the point of his character.

If Jia Qiang had such an impression and then affected the perception of Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai, then something bad would happen.

In officialdom, after passing the fourth grade, especially after entering Beijing, one must face the problem of standing in line.

Without a backstage, without a backer, it is impossible to move an inch.

Not to mention moving forward, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not be sniped down by political enemies.

They don't even need to be political enemies, there are quite a few positions above the fourth rank in Beijing, and every position makes people extremely jealous.

How can a person who has no heels sit in such a position for a long time?

Jia Yucun has been walking along the line between Jia's family and Lin Ruhai since its recovery.

If she was abandoned by the Jia family and Lin Ruhai, it would be difficult to switch to others, at least not possible for now.

Therefore, he managed to climb to this position, and he was never willing to lose his future because of that trivial matter back then.

However, before he could explain anything, Jia Qiang waved her hand and said, "You don't have to think too much about the eunuch, sir, you have taught me that the eunuch can help the Feng family that day, reward you with silver, and help you find Zhen Shiyin. As for the case of Feng Yuan in Jinling, Xiangling had entered Beijing at that time, and it would be difficult for you to go to war again. Mr. has always taught me to be strict with yourself and be lenient to others. Anyway, this matter will be over. But this Hou hopes that you understand that you have placed great hopes on your husband to be able to have today. Do your job well and don't make mistakes."

As soon as the words fell, Jia Yucun, who was relieved, wanted to show his loyalty again, but Lin Zhixiao's voice was heard outside the door, and said: "Master, Lord Hou, some middle officials from the palace came outside and said yes Pass the emperor's oral order in the palace, let our Lord Hou enter the palace quickly."

Jia Qiang replied to the outside: "Understood."

Then he said to Jia Zheng, "I'm going to the palace first. The master entertains the servants."

Jia Zheng said "oh oh" twice, and said hurriedly, "Brother Qiang will go on his own. The palace is important, so I dare not delay."

Jia Qiang nodded, and looked at Jia Yucun with a cold gaze. His gaze did not hide his scrutiny. Obviously, Lin Ruhai's teachings did not really make him feel at ease.

After he left, Jia Yucunfang, whose face was moved, let out a sigh of relief, thinking of countermeasures in his mind.

Jia Zheng persuaded: "Don't worry about Yucun, when things were like the sea and I both had arbitrarily judged, Yucun only decided to settle the case after receiving the letter from me and Ziteng. Brother Qiang is still young, inexperienced and inexperienced I dote on that daughter of the Zhen family, so I have more prejudice. Looking back, Ruhai and I will try to persuade you."

Jia Yucun said gratefully: "If so, Yucun can feel at ease."

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "Yucun is also a third-rank court official, and the eunuch was once listed as a member of the Jiuqing, so there is no need to take Brother Qiang's opinion too much."

When Jia Yucun heard the words, he smiled forcedly, and said: "The old man doesn't know something. It was Wang Sima who advised me to make friends with Marquis Ning, and dare not despise him because of his young age."

Jia Zheng was puzzled and asked, "What's the reason?"

Jia Yucun smiled bitterly and said: "The position of the eunuch is in charge of the horse affairs of the world, and he has more dealings with the army. However, the most important positions in the army are all in the hands of Yuan Ping. Without the help of powerful people, the eunuch will become one of his grooms." There is no dignity at all, and it is easy to be held accountable by him. Wang Sima said to himself that although he is the chief Sima of the military department, he has very little voice in the army, and it is difficult to compete with Yuanping. Not to mention the trustworthiness of the founding heroes, the weight in the palace is not ordinary, and many things need to be relied on. I may not have full faith in my heart before, but now..."

But he saw it with his own eyes, the palace actually sent several middle officials to call Jia Qiang into the palace.

Normally, when the emperor summons his courtiers, the will must go through Luantai to draw up an edict before it can be passed on to the courtiers.

The courtiers need to take a bath and change their clothes, and only after the corresponding officials of the Ministry of Rites in the palace teach the great etiquette in the palace can they go to see His Majesty according to strict rules.

As just now, recruiting into the palace with only a word of mouth is no match for ordinary foreign ministers.

Jia Yucun secretly made up his mind that he must be more cautious in his actions in the future, and he must never hate this hot young dignitary again.

Originally, after entering Beijing, various investigations found out that Lin Ruhai was only a lone tree in Beijing, and there was a severe shortage of capable people to join him. I thought it was him.

Now being treated indifferently by Jia Qiang, even after examining and guarding for a while, the sensitive Jia Yucun immediately put away his slack, not daring to destroy his future.

……

Imperial City, Fengzao Palace.

Jia Qiang looked at Li Xuan, the fifth son of the emperor who came to pick him up into the harem, and said strangely: "What's wrong with the prince today? His face looks like a horse's."

It turned out that Li Xuan came to pick him up today, without a trace of a smile on his face, the way he looked at him was not much better than when he looked at Jia Yucun just now.

Looks like an ungrateful white-eyed wolf...

However, after hearing Jia Qiang's words, Li Xuan broke his merits and cursed angrily: "Fart! I don't know how much more handsome this face is than yours. Are you a horse face or a white-eyed horse face!"

Jia Qiang heard something in his words, she couldn't help wondering: "I've heard of the white-eyed wolf, but I haven't heard of the white-eyed horse. Isn't this kind of livestock only available in the prince's house?"

If it felt like it could become a reality, Li Xuan felt that the purple gold crown on his head had already burned into a ball of fire. He opened his hand and grabbed Jia Qiang, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Today, my lord will let you see your true face, right? Not a white-eyed horse!"

How could Jia Qiang be caught by him, and ran across the white jade steps to Fengzao Palace in two or three steps.
