The Traitor Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Chapter 118 The Bottom Line of Being an Official

When the Zhen family was mentioned on the ground in the south of the Yangtze River, everyone first thought of it, and it was the only one—the natal family of Concubine Zhen Gui, the natal family of King Zhongshun, and of course there was a more important label—Madam Fengsheng.The fact that the Zhen family was able to make a fortune was entirely due to the fact that Mrs. Fengsheng had nursed the emperor.The emperor was nostalgic. After ascending to the throne, he favored the Zhen family, promoted his two milk brothers, and later accepted the daughter of the Zhen family as his concubine.Therefore, relying on nepotism, the Zhen family has been operating year after year, and now it is deeply rooted and has become the emperor of the south of the Yangtze River.

Today's appointment of Jia Lian as the criminal judge did not stick to any place, and he wanted to travel with his family to play in the mountains and rivers.Anyway, to him, there are tens of thousands of talents, but only Jia Lian can coax his "great niece" who owes him a debt.Later, I learned about "Dream of Red Mansions" from the queen mother. In the dream, the Zhen family was ransacked, but what is puzzling is that in the Rongguo Mansion in the dream, the defeated Jia family still had the guts to take the Zhen family's wealth.

Therefore, today he took the lead in thinking about killing two birds with one stone, and sent Jia Lian to Jianghuai.After all, dreams can be regarded as traceable, and he really wants to kill Zhen's family.It's not because of entanglement and partiality, but as an emperor, in order to strengthen the governance of the local area, he must deal with some local snakes who have crossed the border.

Jia Lian, who was entrusted with important tasks, has always felt that he is really a god-man who can "do" "Dream of Red Mansions" today.Because Jia Jing also mentioned his wife's last words—"Dream of Red Mansions" first, and revealed to himself today, and told them the original "Dream of Red Mansions" in the form of a dream. As for any other secrets between the two, let's see Now that the monk and the lame Taoist are ordered to abolish their kung fu, and they and Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are imprisoned in the Guanzong people's house to death, so it is the first time that Jia Lian upholds the belief that "it is rare to be confused in life" and swears with the king of Qin This is the end of the "Dream of Red Mansions".

This ghost story is over, but other events are revealed.For example, the Zhen family whose home was ransacked in Dream of the Red Chamber still had enough energy to entrust the family property to the Jia family, that was a complete farce!The family is going to be ransacked and the family is wiped out, and there are fish that slip through the net, and even know the rumors in advance. The emperor's control over the place is simply...

For the sake of trying hard to be a wise king nowadays, I don't want to swear.

Jia Lian rubbed his wine glass, held back his thoughts, smiled and accepted the compliments from the officials and gentry who came, and saw the rare treasures and priceless congratulatory gifts, especially the many precious jade fans or It was a paper fan drawn by a celebrity, and he smiled meaningfully.This south of the Yangtze River has a beautiful scenery and a rich and noble town. Since ancient times, it has been a big problem to manage officials.

He has also thought about it these days. First of all, he, Jia Lian, will never be an upright official.He himself is black-hearted, asking his colleagues and subordinates to be honest officials, that's a bitch erecting a torii, and a hypocrite.

Collusion between officials and businessmen, corruption is fine, but if he gets money to make money, and has the ability to make the common people rich, live a good life, and achieve "tripartite win-win", then he can turn a blind eye and close one eye, or even Also cheer up.

Unaware of Jia Lian's psychological "definition", the magistrate who came to the banquet saw Jia Lian accepting the gift, and he was slightly relieved. Jia Lian's ability to let them "worship the pier" meant that there was a chance to speak.They were not afraid of Jia Lian being young, or of noble birth, but of someone who didn't understand the rules, who was arrogant in his talents, with eyes above the top, and who would make blind orders based on his own birth.

Of course, after the banquet is over, we have to wait and see for a while to see Wen Quxing's behavior before we can discuss what to do next.

====

After the banquet, Jia Lian exchanged some information with Situ Le. Unexpectedly, Jia Rong, who was doing her homework, also reached out to express that she had discovered something.

Jia Lian was quite satisfied with this, and pressed down to ask how he knew Wencai was in the Zhen family, and asked Jia Rong seriously.He brought Jia Rong with him also to train the heir of the Jia family.

Of course, Jia Lian lamented his current choice countless times in the future.Fortunately, he was trained early, so he could directly grab it and throw it on the throne to silence everyone.

This is for a later story, let's not mention it for the time being, now Jia Lian and Situ Le both regard Jia Rong as a little adult, and listen carefully to Jia Rong's discovery.

Jia Rong shook her head, counting her fingers and talking about one, two, three things she discovered: "First, the kids who played with me before were all assigned by gangs. Just like Grandpa Qin Wang said, where there are people, there are gangs. .However, they thought I was a little smug, they bullied me when I was younger, and several big ones talked outrageously, and they didn't avoid me. So, I know, someone is going to give the second uncle a blow!"

"That's why children should be educated well!" Jia Lian's expression became more serious when he heard this, and he praised Jia Rong a few words, and Situ Le followed suit.

"Then can I play in Jiangnan for a few days?" Jia Rong happily bargained: "Or do less homework?"

Situ Le secretly glanced at Jia Lian's expression, motioned Jia Rong to go on first and said, "It depends on whether your summary is in place."

Hearing the looseness in Situ Le's words, Jia Rong became more and more beautiful, and hurriedly said her second discovery: "Second point, I know this is called two-way pier worship! As a kind of etiquette, it means mutual respect. Because The second uncle is the emperor's confidant, and has the supervisory function. So they hope that the second uncle Lian will have a few good words. As for the second uncle, who is new here, as a newcomer, it is necessary to say hello to the experienced old man and ask for advice. This is One of the unspoken rules of officialdom."

Situ Le rubbed Jia Rong: "Brother Rong is really good, he even knows how to visit the pier."

"That's it!" Jia Rong said proudly, "I, a little celebrity, also has a part in the "Bing Jing" and "Tan Jing" at home. At that time, my second uncle told me a few unspoken rules."

"It's okay to be able to apply what you've learned." Hearing this, Jia Lian tried his best to suppress the upturned smile on his lips.Don't let Jia Rong find out, or you will be complacent.This child is smart, but he can shine brightly if given a little sunshine, so he is very easy to be spoiled and proud.

Jia Rong pouted, the boss was not happy with Jia Lian's evaluation, and groaned: "The third point, they also gave me gifts, and there were many fans that Uncle and Grandfather liked in the gifts, obviously they have already asked about our preferences. I know, Second Uncle, you are the most filial to Uncle and Grandpa Pardon."

"Look at your beaming appearance." Jia Lian embraced Jia Rong from Situ Le, and through Jia Rong's discovery of the clues of gift giving, he taught people on the spot "follow what you like", "flatter" and "be courteous." Well, what will happen next."

"Rong'er, Second Uncle won't tell you that as the head of the clan, what the future heir should do, what must be done. There are some things that you have to open your mind to accept from the bottom of your heart. But, as a human being, If you enjoy the family's shelter, you must also bear certain responsibilities. Like this kind of preference, as a young master, you must gradually learn to restrain yourself and not show it in front of others."

Jia Lian looked at Jia Rong lovingly, concealed the word "Dream of Red Mansions", and told people about Jia She's love fan in the dream, but he couldn't buy it, and let Jia Yucun, who wanted to please Jia's family, know that the original owner of the fan was framed and his family was ruined. The fan was honored by Jia Yucun to Jia Amnesty.Jia Amnesty played with it for a month or two, then put it behind him again, and found a new love in his heart.

As Jia Lian, he doesn't mind the source of filial piety.

But for the next generation, Jia Lian hoped to become an upright person like Bao Qingtian.Maybe people are like this. It’s okay to stay in the dark and struggle in the whirlpool, but the next generation hopes that they will be innocent, rich and happy.

Following Jia Lian's narration, the atmosphere in the study became dull for a moment.Situ Le dragged his cheeks and looked at Jia Lian with an extremely solemn face, feeling that he didn't know Jia Lian for a while.In his eyes, Jia Lian is reliable and reliable, but he often acts out of bounds. He is really ruthless, careless, and disregarding the law. But he happened to bear all the people in the world, just for one person to be gentle.

And he is willing to learn and try to change for Uncle She.

Really...

Situ Le covered his forehead, feeling like he was not paying attention, and his thoughts were a little dangerous.

Seeing that Jia Rong seemed to understand but didn't understand, and when Jia Lian was helping others to guide, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and when he looked back, he saw Situ Le wandering in the sky, his eyes were still extremely wretched.

"Auntie, is she alright? Is your face so red?" Jia Rong hugged Jia Lian nervously, and whispered, "Second Uncle, is she bewitched like Rong'er before?"

"Good boy, it's okay." Jia Lian called Xing'er to take Jia Rong back to her room to rest, endured pouring a glass of water for Situ Le to wake up, and knocked on the table: "Come back to your senses! What are you thinking about?"

Hearing a bang, Situ Le, who was in self-criticism, trembled in fright, leaned over to stare at him, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see his thoughts, and felt his face blushing more and more hotly.He... he was so nasty.

"I... I... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I suddenly seemed to have lost my mind just now."

"Then pour it into the water quickly." Jia Lian said in a deep voice, "I heard from Rong'er that someone made things difficult for you at the banquet?"

"Rong'er, don't listen to his exaggeration. It's because of the little girl's admiration that she mistook me for her rival in love." Hearing this, Situ Le heaved a sigh of relief and thanked Jia Lian for not being curious, otherwise he would really There is no excuse.

"It's also thanks to Miss Zhen's family, otherwise I wouldn't have known that Wencai had entered into Zhen's family." Situ Le looked blank: "I remember hearing you say that Wencai seems to have returned to his hometown to keep his filial piety. It took a year to become a filial piety."

Jia Lian frowned.

Following the confrontation between the emperor and empress in court earlier, all eyes were on the Heike family.For the reason that caused the emperor to plagiarize Ping's family - Guoxiao's promiscuity.In other issues that erupted in the Heike family, he became a little witch, which is not worth mentioning.

Although it didn't attract the attention of others, because of Wen Min's left-handedness, Jia Lian always had a murderous intention and sent someone to secretly monitor the Wen family.Before Jia Lian can free his hand, he chooses an appropriate time for Wen Min to leave quietly.Here Wen Min died of drinking himself.

Even after receiving this news, Jia Lian never let go of his secret monitoring of the Wen family.After all, the previous changes in literary talent were too shocking.He actually wanted to send someone to assassinate him directly, and it would be over once and for all.But in the end, he was still thinking about the teaching of loyalty, and also about Jia She and Situ Le's nagging, hoping that Jia Lian would be upright and upright, so there would be no trivial life.

Jia Lian only sent someone to monitor Wencai sadly supported the coffin and went back to his hometown to observe his filial piety, so he stopped monitoring.Because during that time the focus shifted to the Lin family.

Now the unexpected Wencai who was supposed to be a filial piety suddenly appeared in Zhen's house, which really made people suspicious.

Jia Lian ignored the previous education to Jia Rong, and secretly said: Sure enough, he should be killed, once and for all.

The author has something to say: Spoiler N years later, the historian concludes:

Today is straightforward; Jia Lian is the emperor of capital; Jia Rong is the emperor of fashion.

====

Today's reforms break the old rules, and Jia Lian vigorously develops the economy. By the time of Jia Rong, he will fully realize the growing cultural needs of the people.
