Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai finally bowed his head.

That's all for Jia amnesty, Jia Lian is still a good boy, and according to the news, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and others have a good relationship with the prince.Although the future is uncertain, the emperor still has only one seedling, the crown prince.

The next day, Lin Ruhai prepared some gifts and rushed to Huiyuan Building to meet Jia Lian's appointment.

As soon as Jia Lian saw Lin Ruhai, he got up and performed the junior ceremony, apologizing: "My nephew is being rude, but I still look at Uncle Lin Haihan. I didn't know it was Uncle Lin in the palace before, but now the house is in a mess because of packing up. I just settled here..."

Naturally, Lin Ruhai hurriedly helped Jia Lian to get up, "It's my fault for being too polite. After all, I'm an official in the same dynasty, so I still need to be careful."

The two exchanged a few polite words, then changed the subject in a tacit understanding.

However, uncle and nephew have never met each other, and there are limited topics to talk about, not to mention that there are still some "contradictions" between the elders, so all they can ask is homework!

Lin Ruhai first heard that Jia Lian was self-effacing and dull, and hadn't finished the "Four Books", so he asked some superficial questions. , couldn't help asking more questions.

At the end, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian, and couldn't help but ask who he studied under.

Jia Lian smiled rather shyly: "My family teacher is just one of my grandfather's aides, and I can't compare to you, Uncle Lin. Today, I am honored to have my uncle's advice. It is really better than ten years of study."

Their husband is good at everything, but he is too low-key, don't let them show off!

Lin Ruhai choked when he heard this.

If he heard this before the test, he might have thought it was a compliment, but now, it sounds a little harsh.Although he, Lin Ruhai, would not have the literati to look down on him these days, but he always felt that it was not pleasing to the eye.

Jia Lian is fine everywhere, so it seems that Jia Lian's father is also fine.

"Speaking of which, Lian'er has the character of a father-in-law." Lin Ruhai smiled, took a sip of tea, recalled some past events, and then asked: "I don't know how Zhu'er is now? You are also cousins, the blood relationship of direct relatives Now, we should watch over and help each other."

When Jia Lian heard the words, the smile on his face was extremely sincere, and he stood up and apologized: "Thank you uncle for thinking about it. It was my fault that I forgot to come with Brother Xun Zhu. If I had known about Uncle Lin's arrival in advance, Brother Zhu would have also I asked for leave from the Imperial College. Well, Uncle, I’m afraid you don’t know about it. That’s how it is, Brother Zhen has given Brother Zhu the quota of supervisors under the name of Brother Zhen, and next year will be the year of the competition, and Brother Zhu is now studying in the Imperial College to prepare for the exam.”

This quota was given by Rong'er (as for Brother Zhen, I have no opinion on it), both father and son adhered to the principle that since the imperial court has benefits, it is a bastard's principle not to take advantage of it, and gave it to Jia Zhu, so that Jia Zhu would not be so The bones of the body are fragile, so I can't go to Jinling for reference.

As for them themselves, they all have to pass the exam seriously.

If you don't have this bit of pride, it's all because Mr. Yu vomited blood, the palm of his hand that was rewarded by the emperor, Prince Zhongyi slapped the table and scolded, the marshal of soldiers and horses let the dogs chase him, and his grandfather smashed the abacus.Of course, there was also his father who was secretly distressed and wiped away tears.

Lin Ruhai froze for a moment when he heard this.As soon as he said something about the quarrel between the two houses of Jia's family, Jia Lian returned to him here. Rong Ning and Jia are extremely close and love each other, and even the places of supervisors that ordinary official families may compete for can be freely given.

What else could he say about this?

When he came this time, he also intended to make friends with Jia Lian, not to let Jia Lian be like Jia Amnesty, who only maintained a face-saving friendship.

According to Jia Amnesty's nature, if Min'er passed away, the relationship between the in-laws would be cut off.But now it is clear that Jia's family can continue to be rich for three generations, and he, Lin Ruhai, has no choice but to bow his head as an heir.

Lin Ruhai is also a well-rounded character, he warmed up the scene and basically maintained the friendship, and then entertained a few of his contemporaries with complicated feelings, contacted the friendship, and frowned when he heard people praise him for his good marriage openly and secretly. Twist again.

After returning to Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai carried his fat son who was named "Water Tank" into Jia Min's room, looked at Jia Min who was still sick and lying in bed, and whispered about the emperor's gift.

"Yu'er will be called Miaomiao from now on, and Shui... Shui Jar will be named under your name from now on."

Lin Ruhai is not stupid either. When she went back to Yangzhou to investigate and found out that Aunt Fang gave birth to an heir, not only she but also Fang's family acted in his name of "Patrolling Salt Censor", and she immediately broke into a cold sweat.

"Master, what are you talking about? No matter whether this child was born by me or not, don't you call me Mrs.? Where did you remember it?" Jia Min leaned on the soft cushion and said softly: " Master, hold the water tank far away, lest you get sick."

Think of her wife now?

Ha ha!

She, Jia Min, was pampered and raised as the apple of her eye since she was a child. Even without her father, her eldest brother, who was not very close to her, became the head of the family, and she did not owe her a single bit of etiquette.But what about the Lin family?A family has a son by virtue of giving birth to a son, and others can neglect her daughter.

Why should she, Jia Min, have to live a "noble" life with Xunyan Yushi, she has to use the best, most expensive and most decent things.

Even if she is hanging with ginseng, she still has to take a breath, and don't take advantage of this little bitch's son!

A bastard is a bastard!

Without her nodding, the Jia family would not recognize this nephew!

As for the emperor?

Hear the name?

A Miaomiao, a water tank, and the latter one is purely a warning.

How could Lin Ruhai see Jia Min's flash of resentment? He heard the word "sickness", but he also took the child and walked a few steps. Worried about the child.

Afterwards, when Lin Ruhai mentioned the matter of being famous, Jia Min found some excuses to refuse.But due to the prosperity of the Jia family's power, Lin Ruhai couldn't say anything, the husband and wife lived a life that was neither salty nor dull.As for the officialdom, Lin Ruhai kept the bottom line of patrolling the salt censor, and after the two terms expired, he finally waited for the order of the emperor to transfer.Although he was promoted, he was the real official of the frontier - the governor of Ningxia, a second-rank official.However, although Ningxia has the reputation of "fortressing the south of the Yangtze River", after all, the Lin family, who are used to the south of the Yangtze River, are quite uncomfortable here.

Lin Ruhai served here for four consecutive terms, but also died of illness.Jia Min passed away due to weather and other reasons during Lin Ruhai's third term.Knowing that she was seriously ill, she put Lin Daiyu on the draft list before the medicine could take effect.

Lin Daiyu finally won the No. 3 "Noble Girl Training Course" by virtue of her talent, and won the title of princess.Although because of her frail body and deficiencies, she didn't know how to be a housekeeper and control people, she didn't meet the standards of a mistress of a wealthy family nowadays, but also because of her talent, she was appreciated by Princess Anle, and was finally made into the Great Zhou Li Qingzhao. Ci has been handed down through the ages, and is known as the master of the School of Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Grace, the number one talented woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and so on.

Although Lin Shuiguan was not spoiled, but his talents were limited, and the reform of the scientific examination made him fail many times in the imperial examinations. In the end, ignoring Lin Ruhai's dying will, he went to Jia's family to recognize his relatives.But no one in the Jia family knew about it, because they were busy with their own careers in different places.

This is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.

Now, when Jia Lian saw the back of Lin Ruhai walking away, the original peerless beauty disappeared with his breath.Although some demeanor has been ingrained in his bones, even if he doesn't put on airs, Jia Lian is still the best among his peers.But if he didn't steam the steamed buns to fight for his reputation, Jia Lian felt that as a son of man, he had to fight for his father's reputation and save face. Every word and deed he would have to imitate by the most honorable Taixing Emperor in the world.

Jia She happily went home and changed into riding clothes.

After he left, Jia Rong in the box next door also hurriedly left. He was afraid that his second uncle would be bullied, so he came to follow him.

"Slow down!" The current crown prince laughed and sent Jia Rong away, holding a teacup and smiling.

======

Jia Amnesty waited until the two boys, Jia Lian and Jia Rong, came back one after the other, and didn't say anything else. He just told them to go out of the city gate and let them trot for a while.

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the two younger ones, and took someone to check the convoy carefully again to salute.They are a group of people, not to mention what they usually eat and use, and there are two sick patients.Mr. Yu naturally had to be careful and couldn't be more careful.As for the other patient, Emperor Taixing, who was as stupid as he wanted, that was too expensive to say the least.

They didn't pretend to be in disguise, and they went all the way to Guangping Mansion under the banner of Jia's family.

On the way, except for two brats who hurt their thighs from running horses, everything went smoothly.As soon as the convoy arrived at Xujia Village, Jia Zhen and Jia Qiang (the child came with the last sympathy team and stayed behind) rushed to greet him.

After arranging for everyone to recharge their batteries and rest, Jia Zhen led the people up the mountain in person and explained his luxurious Taoist temple.

"Look at this, from the foot of the mountain to the Taoist temple, I have sent someone to carve flowers on every stone step..."

"You have money and have nowhere to spend it?" Jia She felt pain when he heard this.

"Uncle, when did you become so vulgar?" Jia Zhen smiled flatteringly at Emperor Taixing: "Huang... Grandpa Huang, look, there are three thousand stories on the stone steps. I am tired of walking Yes, once you sit on a stone bench, or even on a stone step, maybe you will be enlightened by the way, right?"

"Because it's too far away from the underground palace, I built other attics along the way to encourage learning and progress. I can get what I want. There are also eight bamboo courtyards for the rich and idle literati to play, and for those buddies in Beijing. The hunting and play area..." Jia Zhen said, she saw a place, and her eyes were shining: "Yes, yes, there is also this vegetable garden!! It was originally used by the villagers to pick wild vegetables, so I built a vegetable garden around it , look here there is a small label, telling people what can and cannot be eaten..."

Emperor Taixing nodded in satisfaction as he walked all the way: "These ideas of entertaining and teaching are all good." It's just...it's not his own money that doesn't make him feel bad.

kindness!

No, heart, pain!

Jia Amnesty exhaled slowly, and silently enlightened himself that the money has already been spent, so enjoy it.It is much better to still be able to spend money now than to spend the money in the previous life and have your house stolen.

Once enlightened, Jia Amnesty quietly admired the scenery along the way.Compared with before, the more you walk in, the ground is full of thorns, and there is no road. Now the surrounding scenery is beautiful, the mountains, the man-made ditches, and the houses hidden in the jungle form a harmonious and beautiful picture.

but-

Jia She's brows twitched suddenly: "The wooden sign at the door of that room has two..."

"Forgive Uncle and Grandfather, that's my idea!" Jia Rong raised her hand when she heard this, "Look, no matter if you are a literati, an illiterate commoner, or even a child, when they see that papa, they know that it is a place to go to the toilet. We also divided boys and girls."

"That... that's really well thought out." Jia She smiled.

"Isn't that brainstorming? It's what you said, Uncle Xi. Not only should you ask the adults, but you should also consider the children. For incense, they have to come and play." Jia Zhen said: "A few steps away, there will be a large one. The tea house, the lobby is for people to rest for free. Besides, there are also food and drink shops.”

A group of people stopped and stopped until the sun set, and finally came to the Taoist temple that was originally built on the underground palace in the deep mountains and old forests.

The Taoist Temple even counts the underground palace, which has five floors in total.

The first floor and the second floor are the original underground palaces and secret passages.

The third floor is the main hall located on a normal level ground.

The fourth floor enshrines the imperial decree of the former emperor and ancestor.

The fifth floor is for tourists to climb up and look into the distance.

It is not like a Taoist temple at all, but a play building.

Jia She silently made a mental evaluation, but couldn't help but fantasize that in the future, there will be as many tourists here as Guoqing Temple, and it will also become an ancient temple passed down from generation to generation. So no matter whether the Jia family still exists, there will always be stories left for future generations. People say.

It will definitely not be like Yumai!

He painstakingly came up with names with the connotations of the Jia family, but none of them spread.

A pedestrian was resting in the guest courtyard of a Taoist temple, but Jia She fell asleep with a sweet dream.The next day, I participated in the real opening ceremony full of energy. Watching Jia Zhen take out the name of the Taoist temple, she was silent for a long time and closed her mouth silently.

"Rose view?" After finding a gap, Jia She silently asked the psychological doubts.They used to be called Taoist Temple before, but even if it was to please the stepmother, they didn't have such a girlish name.

"Qiang'er drew lots." Jia Zhen glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "I took out the property that the Supreme Emperor gave him. Seventy percent of the cost here is his. Shhh."

"Prince Loyalty won't tell me?" Jia She took a deep breath, "How can you be so capable. That kid already has some money, and you're still fooling him?"

"Teaching him how to fish is worse than teaching him how to fish. Uncle Niu and I have also asked for advice through letters. If you give gold and silver mountains, you will lose money, but the number one scenic spot in Dazhou like this is at a loss at the beginning, but the operation After ten years, he will surely start making money." Jia Zhen said: "He's just like that, he doesn't care about his studies, and his martial arts training is mediocre, so we can't really let him be a croupier, right? I don't mind, and neither does Rong'er. I don't know his real identity, but who can guarantee the future? Why not take advantage of the present, when the old people are here, and give him a decent business."

Hearing Jia Zhen's words, Jia Amnesty looked thoughtfully at the man, seeing the solemn appearance, and suddenly smiled: "That's right."

Jia Zhen also started to think about family inheritance, awesome!

Jia Amnesty lowered his voice: "No wonder the emperor's uncle wants to come here in person." He thought it was to give face to his son-in-law who knew how to make gunpowder and medicine, but it turned out that this was the root cause.

"Uncle, it's Ningfu's public account anyway." Jia Zhen smirked.The eldest grandson's property, can the emperor not care about it?

There will be no worries about no one here.

His Jia family occupies [-]% of his family, and he will be able to live comfortably in the future.

Knowing the inside story, Jia She was in a good mood, and went for a stroll by himself, thinking of imitating the literati and poets, and leaving some calligraphy treasures, so as to contribute to the reputation of "Rongwei Temple".

But before he could start reciting poems, looking at the scholar among the group of literati reciting poems and writing his own name, he smiled and said, "There are four great joys in life, encountering old acquaintances in a foreign land, enemies!"
