Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

The Ministry of Officials, according to the law, is in charge of the appointment, dismissal, examination, promotion, transfer and other affairs of civil officials in the world. It is jokingly called "the hen that lays golden eggs" with the Ministry of Households. It is the most eye-catching place for all officials and princes to seize power.

In such a big environment, it is very difficult to have a breeze in your sleeves.

Liu Shilang glanced at his wife's adornment again.Unknowingly, the wife's attire is no different from that of the wife of the noble and wealthy Jia family. The clothes are made of the latest Yunling Brocade woven in the south of the Yangtze River, covered with a hard-to-find fur coat, and the ruby ​​ruby ​​on the forehead. Yiyi...

Lowering his eyes, Liu Shilang looked away.The Liu family needs to pay a total of 8000 taels for damage caused by the fire.The Liu family can take it out, but they can't.It can't be like the Jia family, and it can't be taken out without blinking like Jia Amnesty.

The wealth of the Jia family is the brightest. It was war wealth, the old man who founded the mansion, and Jia Daishan broke the Huns. This is a huge sum.With these two sums of money alone, the Rong Mansion can be rich for three generations, not to mention that the old ladies still have some unspoken ways of making money—doing business.Doing business in a serious manner, just by buying land, Rongfu can generate money with a clean slate.Not to mention that the Rong Mansion still protects the imperial merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are all kinds of profits.Not to mention now, Jia She has won the favor of the emperor and enjoys the treatment of the prince when he goes out of the palace.

And their Liu family started at the end of the century, Rao was his ups and downs in the official career for 20 years, step by step he was promoted to the minister of the Ministry of officials, from the second rank of the official.But according to the law, the annual salary from the second rank is only 1000 taels.Moreover, he has only been a minister for three years, and his salary was even less before.Even though Emperor Taixing was generous, he knew that he was a little bit corrupt, but it was still within the limits allowed by the emperor.

Furthermore, he was somewhat involved in the struggle for the heir apparent, even if Emperor Taixing had a plan to "confess" before, who could explain everything clearly without any scruples?

Moreover, the most important thing is that he is not the best in Emperor Taixing's mind.Compared with them in the same age group, Emperor Taixing liked Zhang Qingshan more, but he was already the head of a family at fifty, and before he was the Minister of the Ministry of Households, he was a great official in Xinjiang and the governor of Sichuan and Shu.

And he is in a situation where he can be replaced at any time.

Liu Shilang's eyes were heavy, and his voice lowered a bit, with a warning: "Take these off your body immediately. Otherwise, our Liu family may be the next one to go to the vegetable market."

"What?" Mrs. Liu was shocked when she heard the words, she couldn't believe it: "Master, how is this possible, aren't you the emperor's confidant?"

"There are also confidantes." Liu Shilang's face was heavy, and he paused every word: "Now Cui Yu is here to take Zhang Qingshan's class. Such a person is the real Jane in the heart of the emperor, understand?"

A young talent, he was not yet a weak neighbor when he was named on the gold list.

And he was already thirty.

The gap of more than ten years in the middle is not only time, but also the help of in-laws.

Looking back at his first wife, Liu Shilang recalled all the support in the past, sighed deeply, and his face softened: "Nowadays the government is dark and unclear, I know you also have some private property, but I will tell you again. Exterminate the family? But it’s a disaster in the backyard, so stop.”

Mrs. Liu was immediately annoyed: "Do you think I'm old..."

"If you dare to mess around again, don't blame me for not thinking about the old relationship, and I will send you three feet of white silk to keep your family safe." Liu Shilang glanced coldly at the man with his fixed squint eyes, and said, "It's really for the Liu family, for the children Alright, let’s hold on to Jia Amnesty, the wealthy son-in-law. Think about how much the bride price was for the young lady of the Jia family back then? You might not be able to make money if you earn it all your life.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu stopped howling bitterly for a moment, and her eyes glowed brightly.The dowry from the Jia family was sufficient, and the dowry could be returned. Even after Zhang Qingshan heard about it in Sichuan and Shu, he sent people to give a lot of gifts, and even a pair of Shu cats to make amends to Jia She.But Jia She's temperament, even if Jia Daishan suppressed it, Jia Shishi is not easy to provoke.

With Mrs. Zhang's 200 taels of dowry, even if Zhang Qingshan is a dutiful son, this affection will be wiped out.Because the bulk of Zhang's dowry was given by his grandfather Wu's family.

But so what?

After all, it was the Zhang family who got the real gold and silver benefits!

When Mrs. Liu thought of this, she felt good, and she turned her eyes. Compared with Jia Amnesty, it seemed that Jia Zhen had more money, and she could also be a clan wife!

A woman can enter the ancestral hall when she is married into the family tree for the rest of her life, no matter what the order is, but if she is a clan wife, her status is different. She can represent the female family members of the entire clan and can speak at clan meetings!

Hearing his fantasies about getting a wife, Liu Shilang's complexion suddenly turned dark: "Although they are both Jia's, they are two houses, remember clearly! But if the next term is not determined, then Ning's house is a sure-fire prince and party. Get involved Do you want to die? Besides, Jia Zhen doesn't mention her temperament, do you think his original spouse's family can be provoked, and can let us talk?"

"His original spouse's surname is Hao?" Mrs. Liu frowned and thought about it.She has also set foot in the social circle of upper-class female relatives in recent years, so she really has no impression of the Jia family, which has no wife in charge after the filial piety.

"Like Guozijian Jijiu Hao's family?"

"His original wife's maiden name is Situ! The youngest daughter of King Fu, Princess Wanyi, even Jia Zhen's original spouse has the title of county lord." Liu Shilang's voice became even lower: "If this happens, our sister If another son is born, if Jia Zhen, can the family business go to our grandson?"

Regarding the royal relatives, Mrs. Liu was still in awe, she swallowed her saliva, and said, "I...I'll go to hand over the greeting card and give Mrs. Zhang a side shot."

Zhang Qingshan never remarried after the death of his original wife Wu.The only son of this family has already won the seventh-rank official, and his daughter-in-law has been released.In the rest of the capital, apart from the two concubines in Zhang Qingshan's mansion, there is only one old lady Zhang left.Even if Mrs. Zhang was a little more stubborn, she was still her own mother, who served her with delicious food and drinks.It's just that all the relatives and friends of the Zhang family that the old lady was protecting were all driven out of the house.

He didn't know that someone had the idea of ​​knocking him down, and even planned for the next generation.Jia Shen read only half of the black history, but he didn't feel that he was so stupid that there was no cure. Half of the psychological pressure was gone, but he recovered very quickly.When the illness is cured, I come to Dianmao, ready to face difficulties.

Cui Yu looked at Jia Amnesty who had regained his spirits, and briefly described what happened in the Yamen in the past few days, objectively explaining the compensation incident of the Liu family and the focus of the next deployment—the Longevity Festival.

"Isn't there still one month left?" Longevity Day is September 28th. Don't even think about it at the end of the month. There is no money in the purse, so why don't you carve another bastard?Oh, little turtle?

"But foreign envoys will come to Beijing one after another. This security work will be our focus for the next month." Cui Yu looked at Jia She's hands covering his purse, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Jia Tongpan, do you have a stomachache?"

"I..." Jia Tongpan took a deep breath, endured his inseparable feelings for the purse, and nodded his head in a business-like manner. After listening to Cui Yu's relevant deployment, he glanced at Cui Yu again, seeing the expression on his face Although his face is expressionless, there are some changes in the curvature of the corners of his mouth, and he seems to be in a good mood.

Therefore, Jia Amnesty asked for leave weakly: "Master Cui, the old concubine of Beijing Jing Wang celebrates her birthday the day after tomorrow, so I have to go to the official position, and the day after tomorrow, the old lady Fu Wang will live seventy years old, so I still have to go to the official post. These two days It's a day off, can you please ask me?"

Cui Yu silently glanced at the purse hanging from Jia She's waist, seeing the bulging part of the purse, and really wanted to ask, is he planning to carve a turtle again?

Taking a deep breath, Cui Yu said, "You don't need to invite for King Fu's birthday. It's a business trip. Then you can express your heart on behalf of Shuntian Mansion. I will prepare the gift, and you can just take it with you when the time comes."

After a pause, Cui Yu frowned: "As for celebrating the birthday of the old concubine Beijing Jing, will it take a whole day?" From the attitude of Emperor Taixing, there is also a vague intention to restrain the four kings and eight princes. .The removal of the Rongguo Mansion built by imperial edict is an obvious symbol.

However, apart from the Ningguo Mansion, which was stared at by Jia She, there was only the Hou family of Xiuguo Mansion who changed the plaques along with Rongguo Mansion.The Hou family quietly changed the door plaque of the first-class Hou.

"Although I think Shui Rong, and Shui Rong's father, is upset that Prince Jing of Beijing is unhappy, but the old concubine treats me very well." Jia She looked at Cui Yu's frowning and thinking, and vaguely guessed what he was worried about. , sighed and explained: "Grandma Taifei really treats me very well." Moreover, it has only been two years since he went to Caiyi Entertainment to kiss him, and he did his best.

As for Fu Wang, it seems that this winter will happen.Although the old Fu Wang has a strong temper and feels that he is not like his father, Humen dog son, and does not love him as a junior, but he still does his best to be a junior.

Because even if he is reborn, he will be exhausted. The hero is gray-headed, old and weak, and no panacea can save him.

"Well, then you can go. But you have to come back one day after the holiday. This month, three days of sick leave are not counted, and you have asked for three half-day leave. If you go down again, you have to report to the Ministry of Officials according to the law."

Looking at Cui Yu's mouth that was hesitant to speak, Jia She knew it well.It's only twenty this month!

He asked for leave before, once for a private gathering with Daniel, once for a big gathering with playmates, and once just today, to send the children on an autumn outing.

It happens for a reason every time!

He came to order after sending the child off, so... it's understandable after thinking about it.

"I'll make it up." Jia Amnesty looked at Cui Yu, who was obviously tired, and said considerately, "Master Cui, after the busy Mid-Autumn Festival, you should relax a little bit."

"Thank you, I will." Cui Yu responded after a moment, and said, "Wang'er Township has already prevented the extermination of rats once before, but since it is declared to be within the scope of the whole capital, you can't focus on arresting Wang'er Township And just ignore other places, so if there is no end to it, if your word of plague prevention is remembered in the future, how should you explain it?"

"Didn't the fairy medicine be taken and destroyed by Dali Temple?" Jia She was a little surprised when he heard this.In the previous life, I am afraid that Lao Ba and the others were a few months late to investigate, and the infection of the mouse biting the mouse has already been infected.In this life, it will be extinguished at the source.What follows...

exactly!

When Jia She remembered the fire incident caused by the servants of Liu's house, he was shocked, nodded, and said solemnly: "I will also urge people to investigate and eradicate rats in every corner of other places."

Could it be that Jia Amnesty had heard the plague that he had sworn to before from the relics peddler, and he was rather stupid, so he believed it?

Cui Yu looked at Jia Amnesty with helplessness in his eyes, suppressing the sorrow in his heart.He himself would not go to the bottom of it because of this, he was just afraid that Dali Temple would go back to the source.With Bian Shaoqing and Song Xueci in addition, his investigative style is very clear, and his eyes are not tolerant.

"You will be responsible for the environmental improvement of the southern city and the northern city." Cui Yu took a deep breath, looked at Jia She meaningfully, and said, "But don't say the word rat, understand? A country of etiquette, the demeanor of a big country, understand?"

"Understood! I did this kind of trickery when I had no money. I said to buy a gift for my grandmother, and my father would give the money." Jia She laughed: "Master Cui, you are so treacherous, you really are not. The legendary blue sky."
