The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber
Chapter 51 Chapter 1 Paparazzi
At the same time, Fangzheng Road's investigation on Fang Qin's situation after entering Beijing is nearing completion, so he can report to Jia Amnesty the next day.
Fang Qin has indeed helped many poor people overcome difficulties, and gave up a lot of life-saving money, which made many people who have been helped by him feel grateful.
That's how reputation is, and it's passed on from time to time.And he continues to help no less than two or three hundred poor people every year.Fang Qin will help wherever he goes. His good reputation has been accumulated for more than ten years, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of almost all the people.
Fang Qin did the right thing in helping the poor, and it is indeed a commendable part.
But Fang Qin treated his family members extremely harshly.Except that he must uphold filial piety and honor his mother.He is too harsh on his wife, sister, and even his own children.
There is no need to say more about the first two wives, just say that his current wife, not long after marrying, was forced by Fang Qin to go to a nunnery to lead a spiritual practice. It was said to the public that it was to pray for his mother, but Whose bride will go to the temple to pray for blessings and stay for three years, and has not returned yet.
Fang Qin's younger sister was even more miserable.
After Fang's father's funeral was over, Fang Qin was ordered to enter Beijing as an official.Little sister Fang is 16 years old, just at the age of marriage.On the way to Beijing, Fang Qin happened to witness a man running away a bully and protecting the weak on the side of the road.Fang Qin went up to inquire, and learned that this person was in his 20s, because his family was poor and single.
Fang Qin praised him for his high character, poor but independent, defying power, so he decided to marry his sister to him.
Because Fang Qin's younger sister is married, she deliberately discussed with Fang's mother that there is no need for too much dowry, so that the remaining money can be saved to help more poor people.Fang's mother gave her face because of Fang Qin's entry into Beijing as an official, and her married daughter was thrown out of the water. With the other party's conditions, she should save her daughter's dowry and leave more for her son to do good deeds and keep his name clear.
So sister Fang Qin brought some simple dowry to marry that poor man.
Fang Qin's younger sister was brought up in a squire's family anyway, and although she is not as rich as the noble family, she still needs to be served when she eats and stretches out her hands and clothes.Now Fang Qin is married to a poor man with a family of four walls. She has to do everything by herself, and many tasks are beyond her imagination. How can she endure such a life.
Little sister Fang has not been married for a few days.So she couldn't help but go back to her mother's house and cry, but Fang Qin reprimanded her for being spoiled and spoiled, and she didn't have the integrity of a woman, which embarrassed their Fang family.
The little sister had no choice but to go back, and was so frustrated that she didn't even want the relief money from her mother.
One month later, the younger sister of the Fang family committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in Yunyun Village where she was married.
Yunyun Village is not too big, and the poor and bachelors in the village are suddenly lucky enough to marry the sister of an upright official, so it will naturally spread widely.Some people lament that a lady from a wealthy family is not suitable to marry a poor person after all.Some people also said that Fang Qin shouldn't be so reckless, marrying his good sister to that poor bachelor.
That poor bachelor has a sense of loyalty to save people, but he is not a person who is passing through life at all. He is always ambitious and doesn't know how to farm the land diligently, or go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. He would rather go hungry than work.Therefore, the people in the village who were passing by were unwilling to marry their daughters to him at that time.
After Fang Qin's sister died, she came to express her condolences, and even made a sacrificial rite, crying bitterly and complaining that it was her fault.
The villagers of Junjun Village couldn't help feeling sympathetic when they saw the majestic official mourning the deceased sister so bitterly, especially the people who speculated that Fang Qin's behavior of marrying his sister was a little guilty.There are four or five poor families in the village, and because the younger sister of the Fang family married in, they were also personally helped by Fang Qin. When they saw Master Fang crying like this, they were naturally very angry and felt wronged for Fang Qin.
Therefore, after Fang Qin expressed his condolences, under the strong condemnation of these households, all the bad comments about Fang Qin in the village disappeared.
As for the bachelor who married the younger sister of the Fang family, because he felt ashamed of Fang Qin, he vowed to follow Fang Qin to repay his kindness.Later, he followed Fang Qin to Beijing and became Fang Qin's attendant.
When Jia Amnesty heard this, he had a premonition, so he asked Fang Zhenglu, "Is this the person who followed me before?"
Fangzheng hurriedly saluted, "Master's fortune teller! It's him, he lives in Fangfu now, helping Fangqin with running errands and handling all chores, and he doesn't need money, as long as he has something to eat."
Jia Amnesty sneered, and asked Fang Zhenglu to explain how Fang Qin treated his children.
"Fang Qin has a son and a daughter. The daughter was born to his first wife, and the son was born to a concubine. He passed it under the name of his current wife and counted it as a legitimate son. Perhaps it was because the younger sister of the Fang family couldn't bear the pain and committed suicide. , Fang Qin is very strict with his daughter, and female celebrities must know how to cook. In order to save money to support his family, he has been letting his 12-year-old daughter take care of the meals for the whole family. Get up early, no matter winter or summer, you have to read the Book of Filial Piety aloud in the center of the courtyard with a book in your hand, and then you can go into the house to eat and study."
"He still has a concubine? Where is he now?" Jia She asked.
"Dead, died not long after giving birth to my son. It is said that I could not see the child after giving birth, and I ate poor food every day. I was weak after giving birth, and I didn't take good care of it. Then I encountered typhoid fever, and I was very fast. It's gone." Fang Zhenglu sighed with righteous indignation.
After Jia Amnesty recorded everything, seeing Fangzheng Lu blushing, he knew that he was very angry about this matter, and it was probably because he was too full to swear.
Jia She ordered someone to exchange a cup of bitter tea for Fang Zhenglu, so that he could calm down and get rid of the fire.
"I've seen this person before. He's stubborn. That's the way he behaves. You don't have to be too angry. When the secrets of the neighbors come out, you can judge for yourself. Just as he himself said, Yoyo The public can't stop it. At that time, let's see if his reputation of incorruptibility can save him!"
Fang Zhenglu nodded, but still couldn't help scolding Fang Qin for being a hypocrite, for shamelessly gaining his reputation by trampling on other people's lives, it's so hateful and hateful!
Jia Amnesty asked Fang Zhenglu to go back to rest for a while. He was so emotional that he might be unconsciously biased when writing the manuscript.For the seventh issue of My Neighbor's Secret Story, Jia She decided to write it by himself.
After Jia Amnesty sorted out the information provided by Hei Zhu and Fang Zhenglu, he stated the things about Fang Qin from the beginning to the end in chronological order.
After the draft was finalized, Jia Amnesty wanted to print it as soon as possible, so as to finish the matter as soon as possible.
Fang Qin had already offended the emperor, so it didn't matter if he didn't report these things.But Jia Amnesty was still going to follow the rules, because he was going to Yinfang himself, so he went directly to find Song Xi on the way.
On the way, Zhu Mao still instinctively held the small bronze mirror, pretending to take a picture of his own face while looking back.Since the last time Fang Qin sent people to follow them, Zhu Mao has developed this habit.
Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and Zhu Mao waited for it.Seeing the white horse, Zhu Mao trembled all over, and hurriedly probed in to report to Jia Amnesty.
"Don't bother."
As soon as Jia She finished speaking, Zhu Mao saw Fang Qin coming on horseback.This guy was so generous and calm, he followed Jia She's carriage.
Since it was not a formal trip, there was no pomp around Jia Amnesty's car.
Zhu Mao was angry and shouted for Fang Qin to get away.
"Anyone can walk all the roads, why can't I?" Fang Qin asked back.
Zhu Mao was so angry that he wanted to scold, but he represented the Rong Mansion and the master, knowing that he should not talk nonsense outside, so he had no choice but to hold back.
"Shouting official grade." Jia Amnesty reminded.
Zhu Mao immediately reacted cleverly and shouted: "The doctor Yushi is on patrol, and the idlers avoid it."
As soon as these words were shouted, passers-by hurriedly retreated to the side and saluted respectfully.
Fang Qin was dumbfounded, and hurriedly dismounted to salute, not daring to follow.
Zhu Mao was overjoyed, stopped the carriage, pointed at Fang Qin with a whip, and warned him: "If you dare to follow our master's car again in the future, you will be punished for offending the imperial court and will be sentenced to death." serve."
The common people didn't know Fang Qin's identity, they all regarded Fang Qin as a troublemaker, and all looked at Fang Qin with disdain.Even dare to follow the car of a first-rank official, scolding a few words is light, and deserves death!
Several commoners scolded Fang Qin for being mentally ill, and stayed away from him for fear of being infected.Fang Qin hurriedly avoided in embarrassment, for fear that someone would recognize his identity.
After Jia She arrived at Rongfu, he heard that Song Xi was not there, so he wanted to leave, but was entangled by his son Song Lu.
Song Lu should have known that he was not talented, so he deliberately took some obscure articles he wrote to ask himself.
Jia Amnesty couldn't understand, and when asked about it, he frankly shook his head and said no.
Song Lu was not surprised, but only smiled gently and said, "The junior just explained it to Shibo sentence by sentence, can this junior ask Shibo to share his opinion after listening to it? My father always said that I didn't think too much about it. Shibo, please help me."
Song Lu blinked his very beautiful phoenix eyes, his eyes were so clear and bright that people couldn't bear to see them.Besides, Song Lu was always as stable as a young adult, and it was rare for him to be so coquettish and begged himself. How could Jia Shen refuse him cruelly, so he nodded in agreement.
Song Lu smiled happily, and hurriedly asked someone to fetch another article, which was very long.
Jia Amnesty: "..."
Song Lu said seriously: "The juniors will start with the most important article first."
"it is good."
Jia Amnesty glanced at the thickness of the article, and responded in amazement.
It was hard for Jia She to imagine that Song Lu could write such a long article at such a young age.If it were other children of the same age, I am afraid that even reading would be difficult.
Jia She also thought of Baoyu who seemed to be the same age as Song Lu.However, it is better not to compare at the moment, 'other people's children' is really scary.
Song Lu explained every word carefully, and even the source of the words would be treated as a story to Jia Amnesty.Jia She felt that he was an ignorant and ignorant student who was lucky to meet a very patient and talented teacher.
The article was only halfway through, when outsiders spread the word: "Master is back."
As soon as the words fell, Song Xi strode into the door, and the white fox fur cloak he was wearing had not been taken off.
Jia Amnesty looked familiar at this cloak, as if it was the one he had given him a few days ago.Song Xi was taller than Jia She, and this cloak looked short on him.
"Just came back from the palace." Song Xi tore off his cloak and handed it to the servant, asking Jia Amnesty to wait, and after a while, he changed into a black brocade robe embroidered with silver thread auspicious clouds.
The black color complements his complexion as white as a crown jade, and his facial features are more handsome and three-dimensional.
Song Lu hurriedly greeted his father, retracted his article, and resigned embarrassingly.
Jia She stopped him: "It's only halfway through, it's not over yet."
"Don't dare to bother Shi Bo and father discuss important matters of the military and state, this article...will wait for a later date." Song Lu respectfully saluted Jia She, and did not allow Jia She to say anything, so he obediently left.
Song Xi glanced at his son, and then asked Jia She: "Did that kid trouble you? His article is not worth reading, so don't be fooled by him in the future. If you want to read it again, just refuse it."
Song Xi turned to ask Jia Amnesty why he came to him.
Jia Amnesty calmed down, he was still a little immersed in Song Lu's article discussing "The Zhou and Tang Dynasties put more emphasis on the outside than the inside, while the Qin and Wei Dynasties put more emphasis on the outside than the inside".
Only then did Jia Amnesty hand over the manuscript he had written to Song Xi.
For the first time, Jia Amnesty felt a little embarrassed, because compared with other people's articles that cited all kinds of classics and classics to prove his point of view, he wrote this thing. To Song Xi, using the description of "average literary talent" is really a great compliment.After all, Song Lu's writing is so wonderful, in Song Xi's eyes, it is just an evaluation of "nothing to watch".
Jia Amnesty took a sip of tea, and by the way, considered the possibility of studying again.
"It turns out that Fang Qin is this kind of person." Song Xi smiled, blocked the manuscript on the table, and nodded to Jia Amnesty, "Actually, you don't need to ask me for instructions on such things, you can decide for yourself."
"I still want to say, follow the rules that should be followed, and even if someone finds fault with you later, you can't find fault." Jia She said.
Song Xi was stunned for a moment, and asked Jia Amnesty if he had encountered any troubles recently.Jia Amnesty shook his head.
Song Xi didn't ask any further questions, seeing that it was getting late, he ordered someone to pass on the dinner, so he had to stay with Jia She for dinner before letting him go.
"When you arrive in Yinfang, it will be dark, and the fire on the stove will go out, and there will be no leftovers. Don't tell me you're going to be hungry. Besides, how can I bear to see you eat leftovers after working hard? You Do you still look like a first-rank senior member?"
"Nagging, I'll just eat." Jia She, who had just stood up and was about to say goodbye, sat down again.
After dinner, Jia Amnesty reached out to ask Song Xi for a token to leave the city.It's been a while since the delay, the city gate was closed early.
Song Xi asked someone to fetch his coat and wanted to go with Jia Amnesty.
"I don't have anything to do with you. What do you do? You waste your energy in vain. Don't you feel tired?" Jia She said.
Song Xi: "You said it, and you must abide by the rules. This token is mine, so it's only appropriate for me to present it in person."
"You have explained all the truth." Jia Amnesty stretched out his hand to signal, asking him to go first.
So somehow, at Song Xi's insistence, the two of them took the same car.
Jia Amnesty held up the tea in his hand helplessly, and asked Song Xi, "Is this the tea you said is so good that it can be called shocking?"
This is ordinary black tea!
Song Xi grabbed a cushion, leaned lazily behind him, and asked Jia Amnesty amusedly, "I heard it came from Bharatiya, what's the smell?"
I never drank it.
Jia Amnesty glanced at you in vain, knowing that it was Song Xi who found an excuse to ride with him in the same car.But in the past, this guy knew how to cover up, but now he is rampant, and after getting in the car, he just plays a rogue without fear.
Song Xi looked at Jia Amnesty: "Why don't you talk? It seems that you have to taste it yourself."
The carriage jolted suddenly, Song Xi hurriedly grabbed Jia She's waist, and tightly held Jia She's hand with the other hand.
The hand on the waist was quickly withdrawn, but the one holding the hand was still there.
Jia Amnesty stared back at Song Xi coldly.
Song Xi smiled, and calmly took the unfinished cup of tea from Jia She's hand.
"I'm afraid the tea will be spilled." After Song Xi finished speaking, he brought the teacup to his mouth and drank it down in one gulp.
Jia Amnesty: "Your reason is good and irrefutable."
Song Xi smiled and said nothing.
"Have you slept well recently?" After Jia She asked, he stared at him.
Song Xi froze for a moment, looked at Jia She, and shook his head.
"Thanks to your blessing, I have been sleeping very well." Jia Amnesty smiled lightly.
Song Xi also smiled when he saw this.
Song Xi's reaction confirmed Jia Amnesty's guess about his words.
That day Song Xi suddenly said that he couldn't sleep well, but he hoped that he could sleep well every day.Jia She felt that Song Xi's expression implied determination.
When Song Xi said that he couldn't sleep well, he meant to tell himself that he was thinking about him all the time, so it was difficult to sleep at night.On the contrary, if you want him to sleep well and not dream, he is willing to accept whether he gets an affirmative or a negative answer after expressing him.He didn't want Jia She to make any decision that forced him because of his confession.
He would rather love himself more deeply, wishful thinking, even if it is a lifetime of tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep and unable to get what he wants.He also wished that Jia She could live freely, sleep peacefully every day, be smooth and happy.
After thinking about Song Xi's words, Jia Amnesty really felt quite warm in his heart.So these days, when he saw Song Xi, there was always a soft ripple in his heart unconsciously.
And it does have the feeling of 'I can't help but miss it once I don't see you'.
Jia Amnesty thought, maybe this is the feeling of being liked and liking someone, so he decided to seriously consider how to deal with this feeling.
Although it is true that Song Xi fell in love earlier, it does not mean that he will always let Song Xi make progress and keep himself passive.
……
The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and it was almost at the place.
Jia Amnesty reached out to retrieve the empty cup in Song Xi's hand, and his fingertips lightly and inadvertently brushed Song Xi's palm.
Song Xi looked at Jia She's eyes with complicated emotions.
Jia Amnesty smiled at him, then dropped the cup in his hand, grabbed Song Xi's arm suddenly, and threw himself on it.
Caught off guard,
A kiss landed on Song Xi's forehead, with infinite warmth.
The moment Song Xi came to his senses, he wanted to grab Jia She, but after Jia She teased him, he made preparations and pulled away immediately.Jia She gave him a provocative look, curled his lips into a smile that was not a smile, at this moment the carriage stopped, and he lifted the curtain and got out.
Before Song Xi could leave, he heard Jia She outside ordering Hengshu to send him back to his residence.
"...I won't go back tonight. Your master has important business to deal with tomorrow. It's not appropriate to stay here. Send him back earlier."
Heng Shu turned his head eagerly, stared at the curtain, and waited for his master's reply.
Jia Amnesty has already brought people into the Yinfang.
After a long time, Song Xi's carriage turned around and quickly disappeared into the night.
……
On the second day, early in the morning, Song Mansion.
Song Lu came to pay his respects to his father, but he saw his father yawning inactively.
Song Lu hurriedly stretched his head to look in the direction of the inner room.
Song Xi glanced at him coldly, "Wrong guess."
Song Lu's little thought was caught, and he blushed a little embarrassedly.But still with his cold face similar to Song Xi's, he saluted and wanted to leave.
"Yesterday you performed well. I can give you three days off. Whenever you want to go out to play, just send someone to tell me." Song Xi said.
Song Lu's cold face finally showed the smile that children of the same age should have, and happily saluted Song Xi again. After thanking him, he turned into a steady look, turned and left.
"Uncle is becoming more and more sensible. He often reads and writes articles by himself until late at night." Heng Shu said.
Song Xi frowned, "You all look at him, don't tell him to work too hard. You always know that reading is not good."
Song Xi sighed, he didn't want Song Lu to be like him, who only began to understand the true meaning of life when he was thirty.
Hengshu promised again and again, feeling very proud in his heart.It is estimated that this kind of dislike for children who are too motivated can only be heard in their Song family.When he turned around and met Zhu Mao, he had to show off.
Rongguofu.
Jia Amnesty has just rushed home from Yinfang outside Beijing.
He considered that the printing of the seventh issue of "Secrets Next Door" might have to wait another day to finish.
They thought they could rest in peace for a day, but it didn't take long before news came that General Zhennan led all the generals to return to Beijing ahead of schedule.
The emperor sent the third prince, the eleventh prince, and the fifteenth prince to lead a hundred officials to greet him outside the east gate in person.Naturally, Jia Amnesty was among them. After changing his official uniform, he rushed over immediately.
At this moment, the main street leading to Miyagi in the city has been sealed off by soldiers, and the common people can only watch from afar, admiring the heroic appearance of the great general.
And this time, among the generals who returned with Zhennan General Sima Qi, there happened to be Mo Chengwang, the general who "killed his wife and begged the general" when the neighbor's secret broke out.Mo Chengwang is a fifth-rank assault general, and it is said that he made great contributions when he followed Zhennan's great general to surprise the Zhenyan tribe's army this time.Sima Qi also specifically mentioned the meritorious service of Mo Chengwang in the memorial of the victory.
The censors had already prepared the memorial and were eager to try it, and they were waiting for the day when Mo Chengwang came back.
At this moment, Sima Qi rode over with a group of generals from a distance, they got off at a distance of [-] zhang from the princes, and they lined up according to their ranks, and came to pay their respects.Sima Qi was followed by two rows of six lieutenants, followed by Mo Chengwang and other generals.
The accompanying censors were all looking for who Mo Chengwang was.Jia Amnesty was looking at another person, the fourth-rank lieutenant general who was second to the left behind Sima Qi.
This is the brother-in-law of Zhang Shi, the original wife of Jia She's deity, and Jia Lian's own uncle.The Zhang family lived in Jinling, after the Jia family moved to the capital, and because of the death of the deity's original wife, the relationship between the two families gradually weakened, and there was no contact for nearly seven or eight years.
Jia Amnesty didn't think too much about it since he came from time travel. He thought of Zhang Nan because he saw the list of generals who had entered Beijing presented to Yushitai.
Relying on the appearance in his memory, Jia Amnesty quickly matched up with Zhang Wei.Although he was more mature than he remembered, he should be the second one from the left.
Zhang Nan kept stretching his neck to search, he finally saw Jia Amnesty, and laughed.However, Jia She turned his head sideways and was whispering something to a very good-looking man, not looking at himself at all.
Zhang Nan laughed, but was not angry, after all, the person talking to his brother-in-law looked like a god in the sky, and looking at the official uniform he was wearing, he knew that this person was a very good civil servant.It was too late for his brother-in-law to make friends with such a powerful and high-ranking official, so he would not be angry.
After Sima Qi exchanged greetings with the princes, the loyal ministers went into the city together.
Zhang Nan's rank is low, and he can't get to Jia Amnesty's carriage, so he can only wait for the face saint.
……
The imperial palace, Yong'an Hall.
After receiving the emperor's favor, all the triumphant generals knelt down and thanked loudly in unison.Hearing this, the emperor was also full of anger, and happily asked the generals to excuse him.
After Enfeng's generals left, the emperor moved to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and successive censors came to participate in the book, all of whom came to denounce Mo Chengwang.
The emperor looked back at Song Xi and Jia She, the courtiers who were waiting for orders, frowned and couldn't help complaining to Jia She: "Look at your subordinates, the trouble is making my brain hurt, and you don't take good care of them."
"The censors' supervision of participating in the performance is not his business." Song Xi said.
The emperor glanced at Song Xi: "Then you take care of this matter!"
Before Song Xi could say anything, Liu Zhongliang, who had always been upright, immediately stood up and said, "According to the laws of the Great Zhou, Mo Chengwang is guilty of killing his wife, so he should die with his life."
The emperor frowned when he heard this, and rubbed his temples worryingly, "If only it were as simple as Liu Qing said. He is a general who has made great achievements in the charge, and he killed a woman from the Zhenyan tribe. The execution of a meritorious general for murdering a foreign woman will chill the hearts of the generals in the border towns, and it will also fuel the arrogance of those in the Zhenyan tribe, and be looked down upon by them."
"But if we don't deal with it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the common people to be angry. After all, this girl has entered the Dazhou with her mother since she was two years old, and she has entered the household registration normally, so she should be a citizen of the Dazhou. It is unreasonable to kill the people of the Zhenyan tribe so casually." I have to pay for my life. I am afraid that more people will follow suit in the future and intensify the conflict between the Dazhou and Dayang barbarians. Only the Zhenyan tribe is okay. If the Dayang nine tribes unite again, I am afraid that the southern border that has just been pacified will start another war. " Prime Minister Wu said.
The emperor glanced at Jia She, and it was all his fault.
"Keep your life alive, just use your meritorious service to pay for your life." Song Xi said.
Prime Minister Wu nodded, thinking that this was a good idea.
The emperor thought about it, and felt that this was the only way to go, so he dismissed Mo Chengwang's meritorious service, and his official position remained the same, but he was transferred to guard in a cold and miserable place in the northwest.
After the matter was dealt with, the group came out from the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After Jia She said goodbye to Wu Cheng and others, he also said goodbye to Song Xi.
Song Xi looked at him: "Do you think I will let you go?"
The kiss last night made him sleepless all night.Although he knew it was Jia Amnesty's 'revenge', he still couldn't sleep and was willing to be fooled.
"Why, you just said that you wished me to sleep well every day, so you are not reconciled so soon?" Jia Amnesty raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Xi, seeing Song Xi smiled helplessly and was speechless.He shook his head, expressing that he was really in a hurry to meet someone and had no time to talk to him.
Song Xi naturally knew who he saw, so he didn't want to bother him, so he just told him to wait for him at the neighbor's house in the evening.
"You don't even think about it. How can you be free? Let's do it tomorrow. The seventh issue will be out tomorrow." After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he waved his hand to say goodbye to Song Xi without even looking at Song Xi.
After leaving the palace gate, Jia Amnesty saw Zhang Nan's figure as expected.The young man who looked at the 27 was smirking at himself, and Jia Amnesty smiled back.
"The last time I saw you, you were only fifteen or sixteen years old. Look at your current appearance, you are so heroic, and you have even become a fourth-rank lieutenant general who has been honored."
Zhang Nan scratched his head and laughed, "But not as good as my brother-in-law. I always feel like I haven't seen you for so many years. You said that I am so old, but my brother-in-law is not old, but he looks better. I took a closer look, and there was a spot on my brother-in-law's head." No gray hair yet."
"Bah, what nonsense. I'm in my 30s, how can I get old so easily?"
"It's still more than 30," Zhang Nan pursed his mouth and expressed dissatisfaction, "If you add more numbers—"
Jia She pointed at him, "Shut up!"
Zhang Nan immediately covered her mouth and nodded obediently. After getting into the car, she smiled and said to Jia She: "But brother-in-law is quite young. I know the age of brother-in-law. I don't know. I thought you It's my age."
"That's what people say." Jia Amnesty liked Zhang Nan's straightforwardness, seeing that he knew him well, he didn't want to be polite to him, and talked to him like old friends.
"Brother-in-law, I don't have a place to live." Zhang Nan blinked and looked at Jia Amnesty beggingly.
"It's up to you to say that, I can still let you live in a post station?" Jia She was so funny that when he arrived at Rongfu, he immediately took Zhang Nan to meet Jia Mu.
Mother Jia had heard that Zhang Nan had won meritorious service because of the war, and now he was going to the palace to receive the reward, and she was very happy.While admiring, recalling his naughty appearance when he was a child, he couldn't help but mention Mrs. Zhang, and finally shed two tears.
Zhang Nan also felt uncomfortable. Her parents died early, so the elder sister treated her best.But I didn't expect that the eldest sister was also short-lived in the end, and went away not long after giving birth to Lian'er.
Speaking of Jia Lian, Zhang Nan didn't see anyone else when he returned to Rongxi Hall, so he quickly asked Jia She, "Where is Lian'er? He came to me when I saw him last time."
Zhang Nan compared his chest.
Jia Amnesty: "Now I'm as tall as you. He's been busy picking things up these days, and only came home at night. I mentioned you earlier, but I didn't expect you to go to Beijing ahead of schedule, so I didn't wait at home today. "
"We can see each other sooner or later, so don't delay his business." After Zhang Nan smiled, he bluntly said that he was tired, asked Jia Amnesty for a room, and then went to rest.
In the evening, Jia Lian came back.
Jia Lian came to see Zhang Nan in a hurry, and then started talking with his uncle.
Jia Amnesty did not accompany them either.
When Jia She got up early in the morning, there was no movement in Zhang Nan's room.Hearing that Jia Lian didn't leave until midnight yesterday, Jia Amnesty specifically asked the maid not to make any noise, and let Zhang Nan wake up naturally after sleeping.
Not long after Jia Amnesty arrived at Yushitai, someone spread the news that the seventh issue of "Secrets of Neighbors" was on sale.
When Liang Leyun and other censors heard this, they hurriedly sent their servants to buy books.It turns out that with these people, they can read the same book together.But no one wants to be so late, and wants to read every sentence and every word in the book for themselves, so they all buy their own.
Qin Zhonglu also joined in the fun, and then came to ask Jia Amnesty if he wanted it, and he brought a copy.
Jia Amnesty shook his head.
Qin Zhonglu thought about it for the same reason, and felt that he was heartless and ungrateful.Mr. Jia broke up with the scholar, and now it is normal not to want to read.
Qin Zhonglu also admired the author. It is a miracle that he has not been banned by the emperor after digging out the scandals of court officials several times.
As soon as Qin Zhonglu finished expressing his feelings, he received the "Secrets of the Neighborhood" sent by his subordinates.Qin Zhonglu opened up the content and was dumbfounded. The entire volume of this issue was actually about Fang Qin.
What, divorced two wives?So fresh.
Qin Zhonglu hurriedly immersed himself in his studies.At the same time, the other rooms in Yushitai were also unusually quiet, and everyone was attracted by the contents of the book.Occasionally, because the above content is too surprising, there is an exclamation.
The emperor had just finished his worries and lamented that the "Secret Stories Next Door" had caused him trouble, when he turned around and received a book sent by Song Xi.The emperor sighed coldly, cursing in his heart what kind of trouble Jia She had caused him this time.It would be great if officials like him could be clean one day.
The emperor flipped through the book and saw that it was Fang Qin.
Well, fortunately, Fang Qin has been demoted by him.No matter what is written about him, this guy is no longer an official of the imperial court, and he does not need the imperial court to take the blame.
Thinking of this, the emperor felt much better.By the way, I also thought about it a little more, whether Jia She wrote about Fang Qin in this issue out of personal revenge.
But when he saw the content, the emperor felt that he was thinking too much, Jia She should write about him, well written!
Besides, Qin Zhonglu turned to the last page and saw that it was an advertisement for jewelry patterns. Then he confirmed that it was over, let go of his hand, and let out a long sigh.Now it's all right, after Fang Qin's incident, I'm afraid no one in the court will want to meddle in their own business and participate in Master Jia and "Secret Stories Next Door".
The first upright official participated in the performance, but they all stumbled, and they fell completely, and their reputation for the whole life was gone.Who will dare in the future!
Qin Zhonglu immediately thought of Fang Qin's pretentious faces before, and just wanted to laugh three times.
Having had enough fun, he couldn't help but want to share this joy with Jia She, but Jia She was not in the room.
Qin Zhonglu had too much to vent, so he turned to the rooms where the censors were supervised.These people had already started a heated discussion, and Qin Zhonglu hurriedly joined in.
In the name of incorruptibility, Fang Qin oppresses and binds relatives around him, especially poor women, at the cost of killing relatives, in the name of morality and righteousness, it is really abhorrent.
"But have you ever thought that there is nothing wrong with him doing this? In the name of unfilial piety, he can indeed divorce his wife, regardless of how many divorces he has. Also, he forced his current wife to go to the temple to pray for the sake of To fulfill his high righteous name, marrying his younger sister casually and forcing her to death was approved by his mother in advance, and he is not wrong in terms of the law." After listening to these censors scolding, Qin Zhonglu asked Impulsively participating in Fangqin, he expressed another opinion.
"That's right." Liang Leyun echoed.
Ge Qinglai: "Fortunately, "Secrets of My Neighbor" revealed his insidious deeds, otherwise, I don't know how many people would think that he is just a good official who is unflattering and flattering, with integrity and integrity."
"Hearing what you said, I just think it's even more disgusting." Liang Leyun poked his eyes with his fingers, "I was really blind back then, but I thought he was some kind of good person."
"But you said, since his actions are not illegal, can he still retain his reputation as a clean and honest gentleman?" Ge Qinglai worried that Fang Qin's reputation among the people accumulated over the years would not be so easy to change.
"The virtues of a gentleman are clear and tolerant, benevolent and good at judgment, clear without hurting the judge, straight but not correct. Fang Qin is demanding and harsh, overcorrects, and despises women, which one deserves to be called a gentleman?"
When everyone heard the sound of the warm spring water ding-dong, they hurriedly looked back, and were surprised to find that Mr. Song and their Mr. Jia were standing side by side at the door.
Fang Qin has indeed helped many poor people overcome difficulties, and gave up a lot of life-saving money, which made many people who have been helped by him feel grateful.
That's how reputation is, and it's passed on from time to time.And he continues to help no less than two or three hundred poor people every year.Fang Qin will help wherever he goes. His good reputation has been accumulated for more than ten years, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of almost all the people.
Fang Qin did the right thing in helping the poor, and it is indeed a commendable part.
But Fang Qin treated his family members extremely harshly.Except that he must uphold filial piety and honor his mother.He is too harsh on his wife, sister, and even his own children.
There is no need to say more about the first two wives, just say that his current wife, not long after marrying, was forced by Fang Qin to go to a nunnery to lead a spiritual practice. It was said to the public that it was to pray for his mother, but Whose bride will go to the temple to pray for blessings and stay for three years, and has not returned yet.
Fang Qin's younger sister was even more miserable.
After Fang's father's funeral was over, Fang Qin was ordered to enter Beijing as an official.Little sister Fang is 16 years old, just at the age of marriage.On the way to Beijing, Fang Qin happened to witness a man running away a bully and protecting the weak on the side of the road.Fang Qin went up to inquire, and learned that this person was in his 20s, because his family was poor and single.
Fang Qin praised him for his high character, poor but independent, defying power, so he decided to marry his sister to him.
Because Fang Qin's younger sister is married, she deliberately discussed with Fang's mother that there is no need for too much dowry, so that the remaining money can be saved to help more poor people.Fang's mother gave her face because of Fang Qin's entry into Beijing as an official, and her married daughter was thrown out of the water. With the other party's conditions, she should save her daughter's dowry and leave more for her son to do good deeds and keep his name clear.
So sister Fang Qin brought some simple dowry to marry that poor man.
Fang Qin's younger sister was brought up in a squire's family anyway, and although she is not as rich as the noble family, she still needs to be served when she eats and stretches out her hands and clothes.Now Fang Qin is married to a poor man with a family of four walls. She has to do everything by herself, and many tasks are beyond her imagination. How can she endure such a life.
Little sister Fang has not been married for a few days.So she couldn't help but go back to her mother's house and cry, but Fang Qin reprimanded her for being spoiled and spoiled, and she didn't have the integrity of a woman, which embarrassed their Fang family.
The little sister had no choice but to go back, and was so frustrated that she didn't even want the relief money from her mother.
One month later, the younger sister of the Fang family committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in Yunyun Village where she was married.
Yunyun Village is not too big, and the poor and bachelors in the village are suddenly lucky enough to marry the sister of an upright official, so it will naturally spread widely.Some people lament that a lady from a wealthy family is not suitable to marry a poor person after all.Some people also said that Fang Qin shouldn't be so reckless, marrying his good sister to that poor bachelor.
That poor bachelor has a sense of loyalty to save people, but he is not a person who is passing through life at all. He is always ambitious and doesn't know how to farm the land diligently, or go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. He would rather go hungry than work.Therefore, the people in the village who were passing by were unwilling to marry their daughters to him at that time.
After Fang Qin's sister died, she came to express her condolences, and even made a sacrificial rite, crying bitterly and complaining that it was her fault.
The villagers of Junjun Village couldn't help feeling sympathetic when they saw the majestic official mourning the deceased sister so bitterly, especially the people who speculated that Fang Qin's behavior of marrying his sister was a little guilty.There are four or five poor families in the village, and because the younger sister of the Fang family married in, they were also personally helped by Fang Qin. When they saw Master Fang crying like this, they were naturally very angry and felt wronged for Fang Qin.
Therefore, after Fang Qin expressed his condolences, under the strong condemnation of these households, all the bad comments about Fang Qin in the village disappeared.
As for the bachelor who married the younger sister of the Fang family, because he felt ashamed of Fang Qin, he vowed to follow Fang Qin to repay his kindness.Later, he followed Fang Qin to Beijing and became Fang Qin's attendant.
When Jia Amnesty heard this, he had a premonition, so he asked Fang Zhenglu, "Is this the person who followed me before?"
Fangzheng hurriedly saluted, "Master's fortune teller! It's him, he lives in Fangfu now, helping Fangqin with running errands and handling all chores, and he doesn't need money, as long as he has something to eat."
Jia Amnesty sneered, and asked Fang Zhenglu to explain how Fang Qin treated his children.
"Fang Qin has a son and a daughter. The daughter was born to his first wife, and the son was born to a concubine. He passed it under the name of his current wife and counted it as a legitimate son. Perhaps it was because the younger sister of the Fang family couldn't bear the pain and committed suicide. , Fang Qin is very strict with his daughter, and female celebrities must know how to cook. In order to save money to support his family, he has been letting his 12-year-old daughter take care of the meals for the whole family. Get up early, no matter winter or summer, you have to read the Book of Filial Piety aloud in the center of the courtyard with a book in your hand, and then you can go into the house to eat and study."
"He still has a concubine? Where is he now?" Jia She asked.
"Dead, died not long after giving birth to my son. It is said that I could not see the child after giving birth, and I ate poor food every day. I was weak after giving birth, and I didn't take good care of it. Then I encountered typhoid fever, and I was very fast. It's gone." Fang Zhenglu sighed with righteous indignation.
After Jia Amnesty recorded everything, seeing Fangzheng Lu blushing, he knew that he was very angry about this matter, and it was probably because he was too full to swear.
Jia She ordered someone to exchange a cup of bitter tea for Fang Zhenglu, so that he could calm down and get rid of the fire.
"I've seen this person before. He's stubborn. That's the way he behaves. You don't have to be too angry. When the secrets of the neighbors come out, you can judge for yourself. Just as he himself said, Yoyo The public can't stop it. At that time, let's see if his reputation of incorruptibility can save him!"
Fang Zhenglu nodded, but still couldn't help scolding Fang Qin for being a hypocrite, for shamelessly gaining his reputation by trampling on other people's lives, it's so hateful and hateful!
Jia Amnesty asked Fang Zhenglu to go back to rest for a while. He was so emotional that he might be unconsciously biased when writing the manuscript.For the seventh issue of My Neighbor's Secret Story, Jia She decided to write it by himself.
After Jia Amnesty sorted out the information provided by Hei Zhu and Fang Zhenglu, he stated the things about Fang Qin from the beginning to the end in chronological order.
After the draft was finalized, Jia Amnesty wanted to print it as soon as possible, so as to finish the matter as soon as possible.
Fang Qin had already offended the emperor, so it didn't matter if he didn't report these things.But Jia Amnesty was still going to follow the rules, because he was going to Yinfang himself, so he went directly to find Song Xi on the way.
On the way, Zhu Mao still instinctively held the small bronze mirror, pretending to take a picture of his own face while looking back.Since the last time Fang Qin sent people to follow them, Zhu Mao has developed this habit.
Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and Zhu Mao waited for it.Seeing the white horse, Zhu Mao trembled all over, and hurriedly probed in to report to Jia Amnesty.
"Don't bother."
As soon as Jia She finished speaking, Zhu Mao saw Fang Qin coming on horseback.This guy was so generous and calm, he followed Jia She's carriage.
Since it was not a formal trip, there was no pomp around Jia Amnesty's car.
Zhu Mao was angry and shouted for Fang Qin to get away.
"Anyone can walk all the roads, why can't I?" Fang Qin asked back.
Zhu Mao was so angry that he wanted to scold, but he represented the Rong Mansion and the master, knowing that he should not talk nonsense outside, so he had no choice but to hold back.
"Shouting official grade." Jia Amnesty reminded.
Zhu Mao immediately reacted cleverly and shouted: "The doctor Yushi is on patrol, and the idlers avoid it."
As soon as these words were shouted, passers-by hurriedly retreated to the side and saluted respectfully.
Fang Qin was dumbfounded, and hurriedly dismounted to salute, not daring to follow.
Zhu Mao was overjoyed, stopped the carriage, pointed at Fang Qin with a whip, and warned him: "If you dare to follow our master's car again in the future, you will be punished for offending the imperial court and will be sentenced to death." serve."
The common people didn't know Fang Qin's identity, they all regarded Fang Qin as a troublemaker, and all looked at Fang Qin with disdain.Even dare to follow the car of a first-rank official, scolding a few words is light, and deserves death!
Several commoners scolded Fang Qin for being mentally ill, and stayed away from him for fear of being infected.Fang Qin hurriedly avoided in embarrassment, for fear that someone would recognize his identity.
After Jia She arrived at Rongfu, he heard that Song Xi was not there, so he wanted to leave, but was entangled by his son Song Lu.
Song Lu should have known that he was not talented, so he deliberately took some obscure articles he wrote to ask himself.
Jia Amnesty couldn't understand, and when asked about it, he frankly shook his head and said no.
Song Lu was not surprised, but only smiled gently and said, "The junior just explained it to Shibo sentence by sentence, can this junior ask Shibo to share his opinion after listening to it? My father always said that I didn't think too much about it. Shibo, please help me."
Song Lu blinked his very beautiful phoenix eyes, his eyes were so clear and bright that people couldn't bear to see them.Besides, Song Lu was always as stable as a young adult, and it was rare for him to be so coquettish and begged himself. How could Jia Shen refuse him cruelly, so he nodded in agreement.
Song Lu smiled happily, and hurriedly asked someone to fetch another article, which was very long.
Jia Amnesty: "..."
Song Lu said seriously: "The juniors will start with the most important article first."
"it is good."
Jia Amnesty glanced at the thickness of the article, and responded in amazement.
It was hard for Jia She to imagine that Song Lu could write such a long article at such a young age.If it were other children of the same age, I am afraid that even reading would be difficult.
Jia She also thought of Baoyu who seemed to be the same age as Song Lu.However, it is better not to compare at the moment, 'other people's children' is really scary.
Song Lu explained every word carefully, and even the source of the words would be treated as a story to Jia Amnesty.Jia She felt that he was an ignorant and ignorant student who was lucky to meet a very patient and talented teacher.
The article was only halfway through, when outsiders spread the word: "Master is back."
As soon as the words fell, Song Xi strode into the door, and the white fox fur cloak he was wearing had not been taken off.
Jia Amnesty looked familiar at this cloak, as if it was the one he had given him a few days ago.Song Xi was taller than Jia She, and this cloak looked short on him.
"Just came back from the palace." Song Xi tore off his cloak and handed it to the servant, asking Jia Amnesty to wait, and after a while, he changed into a black brocade robe embroidered with silver thread auspicious clouds.
The black color complements his complexion as white as a crown jade, and his facial features are more handsome and three-dimensional.
Song Lu hurriedly greeted his father, retracted his article, and resigned embarrassingly.
Jia She stopped him: "It's only halfway through, it's not over yet."
"Don't dare to bother Shi Bo and father discuss important matters of the military and state, this article...will wait for a later date." Song Lu respectfully saluted Jia She, and did not allow Jia She to say anything, so he obediently left.
Song Xi glanced at his son, and then asked Jia She: "Did that kid trouble you? His article is not worth reading, so don't be fooled by him in the future. If you want to read it again, just refuse it."
Song Xi turned to ask Jia Amnesty why he came to him.
Jia Amnesty calmed down, he was still a little immersed in Song Lu's article discussing "The Zhou and Tang Dynasties put more emphasis on the outside than the inside, while the Qin and Wei Dynasties put more emphasis on the outside than the inside".
Only then did Jia Amnesty hand over the manuscript he had written to Song Xi.
For the first time, Jia Amnesty felt a little embarrassed, because compared with other people's articles that cited all kinds of classics and classics to prove his point of view, he wrote this thing. To Song Xi, using the description of "average literary talent" is really a great compliment.After all, Song Lu's writing is so wonderful, in Song Xi's eyes, it is just an evaluation of "nothing to watch".
Jia Amnesty took a sip of tea, and by the way, considered the possibility of studying again.
"It turns out that Fang Qin is this kind of person." Song Xi smiled, blocked the manuscript on the table, and nodded to Jia Amnesty, "Actually, you don't need to ask me for instructions on such things, you can decide for yourself."
"I still want to say, follow the rules that should be followed, and even if someone finds fault with you later, you can't find fault." Jia She said.
Song Xi was stunned for a moment, and asked Jia Amnesty if he had encountered any troubles recently.Jia Amnesty shook his head.
Song Xi didn't ask any further questions, seeing that it was getting late, he ordered someone to pass on the dinner, so he had to stay with Jia She for dinner before letting him go.
"When you arrive in Yinfang, it will be dark, and the fire on the stove will go out, and there will be no leftovers. Don't tell me you're going to be hungry. Besides, how can I bear to see you eat leftovers after working hard? You Do you still look like a first-rank senior member?"
"Nagging, I'll just eat." Jia She, who had just stood up and was about to say goodbye, sat down again.
After dinner, Jia Amnesty reached out to ask Song Xi for a token to leave the city.It's been a while since the delay, the city gate was closed early.
Song Xi asked someone to fetch his coat and wanted to go with Jia Amnesty.
"I don't have anything to do with you. What do you do? You waste your energy in vain. Don't you feel tired?" Jia She said.
Song Xi: "You said it, and you must abide by the rules. This token is mine, so it's only appropriate for me to present it in person."
"You have explained all the truth." Jia Amnesty stretched out his hand to signal, asking him to go first.
So somehow, at Song Xi's insistence, the two of them took the same car.
Jia Amnesty held up the tea in his hand helplessly, and asked Song Xi, "Is this the tea you said is so good that it can be called shocking?"
This is ordinary black tea!
Song Xi grabbed a cushion, leaned lazily behind him, and asked Jia Amnesty amusedly, "I heard it came from Bharatiya, what's the smell?"
I never drank it.
Jia Amnesty glanced at you in vain, knowing that it was Song Xi who found an excuse to ride with him in the same car.But in the past, this guy knew how to cover up, but now he is rampant, and after getting in the car, he just plays a rogue without fear.
Song Xi looked at Jia Amnesty: "Why don't you talk? It seems that you have to taste it yourself."
The carriage jolted suddenly, Song Xi hurriedly grabbed Jia She's waist, and tightly held Jia She's hand with the other hand.
The hand on the waist was quickly withdrawn, but the one holding the hand was still there.
Jia Amnesty stared back at Song Xi coldly.
Song Xi smiled, and calmly took the unfinished cup of tea from Jia She's hand.
"I'm afraid the tea will be spilled." After Song Xi finished speaking, he brought the teacup to his mouth and drank it down in one gulp.
Jia Amnesty: "Your reason is good and irrefutable."
Song Xi smiled and said nothing.
"Have you slept well recently?" After Jia She asked, he stared at him.
Song Xi froze for a moment, looked at Jia She, and shook his head.
"Thanks to your blessing, I have been sleeping very well." Jia Amnesty smiled lightly.
Song Xi also smiled when he saw this.
Song Xi's reaction confirmed Jia Amnesty's guess about his words.
That day Song Xi suddenly said that he couldn't sleep well, but he hoped that he could sleep well every day.Jia She felt that Song Xi's expression implied determination.
When Song Xi said that he couldn't sleep well, he meant to tell himself that he was thinking about him all the time, so it was difficult to sleep at night.On the contrary, if you want him to sleep well and not dream, he is willing to accept whether he gets an affirmative or a negative answer after expressing him.He didn't want Jia She to make any decision that forced him because of his confession.
He would rather love himself more deeply, wishful thinking, even if it is a lifetime of tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep and unable to get what he wants.He also wished that Jia She could live freely, sleep peacefully every day, be smooth and happy.
After thinking about Song Xi's words, Jia Amnesty really felt quite warm in his heart.So these days, when he saw Song Xi, there was always a soft ripple in his heart unconsciously.
And it does have the feeling of 'I can't help but miss it once I don't see you'.
Jia Amnesty thought, maybe this is the feeling of being liked and liking someone, so he decided to seriously consider how to deal with this feeling.
Although it is true that Song Xi fell in love earlier, it does not mean that he will always let Song Xi make progress and keep himself passive.
……
The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and it was almost at the place.
Jia Amnesty reached out to retrieve the empty cup in Song Xi's hand, and his fingertips lightly and inadvertently brushed Song Xi's palm.
Song Xi looked at Jia She's eyes with complicated emotions.
Jia Amnesty smiled at him, then dropped the cup in his hand, grabbed Song Xi's arm suddenly, and threw himself on it.
Caught off guard,
A kiss landed on Song Xi's forehead, with infinite warmth.
The moment Song Xi came to his senses, he wanted to grab Jia She, but after Jia She teased him, he made preparations and pulled away immediately.Jia She gave him a provocative look, curled his lips into a smile that was not a smile, at this moment the carriage stopped, and he lifted the curtain and got out.
Before Song Xi could leave, he heard Jia She outside ordering Hengshu to send him back to his residence.
"...I won't go back tonight. Your master has important business to deal with tomorrow. It's not appropriate to stay here. Send him back earlier."
Heng Shu turned his head eagerly, stared at the curtain, and waited for his master's reply.
Jia Amnesty has already brought people into the Yinfang.
After a long time, Song Xi's carriage turned around and quickly disappeared into the night.
……
On the second day, early in the morning, Song Mansion.
Song Lu came to pay his respects to his father, but he saw his father yawning inactively.
Song Lu hurriedly stretched his head to look in the direction of the inner room.
Song Xi glanced at him coldly, "Wrong guess."
Song Lu's little thought was caught, and he blushed a little embarrassedly.But still with his cold face similar to Song Xi's, he saluted and wanted to leave.
"Yesterday you performed well. I can give you three days off. Whenever you want to go out to play, just send someone to tell me." Song Xi said.
Song Lu's cold face finally showed the smile that children of the same age should have, and happily saluted Song Xi again. After thanking him, he turned into a steady look, turned and left.
"Uncle is becoming more and more sensible. He often reads and writes articles by himself until late at night." Heng Shu said.
Song Xi frowned, "You all look at him, don't tell him to work too hard. You always know that reading is not good."
Song Xi sighed, he didn't want Song Lu to be like him, who only began to understand the true meaning of life when he was thirty.
Hengshu promised again and again, feeling very proud in his heart.It is estimated that this kind of dislike for children who are too motivated can only be heard in their Song family.When he turned around and met Zhu Mao, he had to show off.
Rongguofu.
Jia Amnesty has just rushed home from Yinfang outside Beijing.
He considered that the printing of the seventh issue of "Secrets Next Door" might have to wait another day to finish.
They thought they could rest in peace for a day, but it didn't take long before news came that General Zhennan led all the generals to return to Beijing ahead of schedule.
The emperor sent the third prince, the eleventh prince, and the fifteenth prince to lead a hundred officials to greet him outside the east gate in person.Naturally, Jia Amnesty was among them. After changing his official uniform, he rushed over immediately.
At this moment, the main street leading to Miyagi in the city has been sealed off by soldiers, and the common people can only watch from afar, admiring the heroic appearance of the great general.
And this time, among the generals who returned with Zhennan General Sima Qi, there happened to be Mo Chengwang, the general who "killed his wife and begged the general" when the neighbor's secret broke out.Mo Chengwang is a fifth-rank assault general, and it is said that he made great contributions when he followed Zhennan's great general to surprise the Zhenyan tribe's army this time.Sima Qi also specifically mentioned the meritorious service of Mo Chengwang in the memorial of the victory.
The censors had already prepared the memorial and were eager to try it, and they were waiting for the day when Mo Chengwang came back.
At this moment, Sima Qi rode over with a group of generals from a distance, they got off at a distance of [-] zhang from the princes, and they lined up according to their ranks, and came to pay their respects.Sima Qi was followed by two rows of six lieutenants, followed by Mo Chengwang and other generals.
The accompanying censors were all looking for who Mo Chengwang was.Jia Amnesty was looking at another person, the fourth-rank lieutenant general who was second to the left behind Sima Qi.
This is the brother-in-law of Zhang Shi, the original wife of Jia She's deity, and Jia Lian's own uncle.The Zhang family lived in Jinling, after the Jia family moved to the capital, and because of the death of the deity's original wife, the relationship between the two families gradually weakened, and there was no contact for nearly seven or eight years.
Jia Amnesty didn't think too much about it since he came from time travel. He thought of Zhang Nan because he saw the list of generals who had entered Beijing presented to Yushitai.
Relying on the appearance in his memory, Jia Amnesty quickly matched up with Zhang Wei.Although he was more mature than he remembered, he should be the second one from the left.
Zhang Nan kept stretching his neck to search, he finally saw Jia Amnesty, and laughed.However, Jia She turned his head sideways and was whispering something to a very good-looking man, not looking at himself at all.
Zhang Nan laughed, but was not angry, after all, the person talking to his brother-in-law looked like a god in the sky, and looking at the official uniform he was wearing, he knew that this person was a very good civil servant.It was too late for his brother-in-law to make friends with such a powerful and high-ranking official, so he would not be angry.
After Sima Qi exchanged greetings with the princes, the loyal ministers went into the city together.
Zhang Nan's rank is low, and he can't get to Jia Amnesty's carriage, so he can only wait for the face saint.
……
The imperial palace, Yong'an Hall.
After receiving the emperor's favor, all the triumphant generals knelt down and thanked loudly in unison.Hearing this, the emperor was also full of anger, and happily asked the generals to excuse him.
After Enfeng's generals left, the emperor moved to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and successive censors came to participate in the book, all of whom came to denounce Mo Chengwang.
The emperor looked back at Song Xi and Jia She, the courtiers who were waiting for orders, frowned and couldn't help complaining to Jia She: "Look at your subordinates, the trouble is making my brain hurt, and you don't take good care of them."
"The censors' supervision of participating in the performance is not his business." Song Xi said.
The emperor glanced at Song Xi: "Then you take care of this matter!"
Before Song Xi could say anything, Liu Zhongliang, who had always been upright, immediately stood up and said, "According to the laws of the Great Zhou, Mo Chengwang is guilty of killing his wife, so he should die with his life."
The emperor frowned when he heard this, and rubbed his temples worryingly, "If only it were as simple as Liu Qing said. He is a general who has made great achievements in the charge, and he killed a woman from the Zhenyan tribe. The execution of a meritorious general for murdering a foreign woman will chill the hearts of the generals in the border towns, and it will also fuel the arrogance of those in the Zhenyan tribe, and be looked down upon by them."
"But if we don't deal with it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the common people to be angry. After all, this girl has entered the Dazhou with her mother since she was two years old, and she has entered the household registration normally, so she should be a citizen of the Dazhou. It is unreasonable to kill the people of the Zhenyan tribe so casually." I have to pay for my life. I am afraid that more people will follow suit in the future and intensify the conflict between the Dazhou and Dayang barbarians. Only the Zhenyan tribe is okay. If the Dayang nine tribes unite again, I am afraid that the southern border that has just been pacified will start another war. " Prime Minister Wu said.
The emperor glanced at Jia She, and it was all his fault.
"Keep your life alive, just use your meritorious service to pay for your life." Song Xi said.
Prime Minister Wu nodded, thinking that this was a good idea.
The emperor thought about it, and felt that this was the only way to go, so he dismissed Mo Chengwang's meritorious service, and his official position remained the same, but he was transferred to guard in a cold and miserable place in the northwest.
After the matter was dealt with, the group came out from the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After Jia She said goodbye to Wu Cheng and others, he also said goodbye to Song Xi.
Song Xi looked at him: "Do you think I will let you go?"
The kiss last night made him sleepless all night.Although he knew it was Jia Amnesty's 'revenge', he still couldn't sleep and was willing to be fooled.
"Why, you just said that you wished me to sleep well every day, so you are not reconciled so soon?" Jia Amnesty raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Xi, seeing Song Xi smiled helplessly and was speechless.He shook his head, expressing that he was really in a hurry to meet someone and had no time to talk to him.
Song Xi naturally knew who he saw, so he didn't want to bother him, so he just told him to wait for him at the neighbor's house in the evening.
"You don't even think about it. How can you be free? Let's do it tomorrow. The seventh issue will be out tomorrow." After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he waved his hand to say goodbye to Song Xi without even looking at Song Xi.
After leaving the palace gate, Jia Amnesty saw Zhang Nan's figure as expected.The young man who looked at the 27 was smirking at himself, and Jia Amnesty smiled back.
"The last time I saw you, you were only fifteen or sixteen years old. Look at your current appearance, you are so heroic, and you have even become a fourth-rank lieutenant general who has been honored."
Zhang Nan scratched his head and laughed, "But not as good as my brother-in-law. I always feel like I haven't seen you for so many years. You said that I am so old, but my brother-in-law is not old, but he looks better. I took a closer look, and there was a spot on my brother-in-law's head." No gray hair yet."
"Bah, what nonsense. I'm in my 30s, how can I get old so easily?"
"It's still more than 30," Zhang Nan pursed his mouth and expressed dissatisfaction, "If you add more numbers—"
Jia She pointed at him, "Shut up!"
Zhang Nan immediately covered her mouth and nodded obediently. After getting into the car, she smiled and said to Jia She: "But brother-in-law is quite young. I know the age of brother-in-law. I don't know. I thought you It's my age."
"That's what people say." Jia Amnesty liked Zhang Nan's straightforwardness, seeing that he knew him well, he didn't want to be polite to him, and talked to him like old friends.
"Brother-in-law, I don't have a place to live." Zhang Nan blinked and looked at Jia Amnesty beggingly.
"It's up to you to say that, I can still let you live in a post station?" Jia She was so funny that when he arrived at Rongfu, he immediately took Zhang Nan to meet Jia Mu.
Mother Jia had heard that Zhang Nan had won meritorious service because of the war, and now he was going to the palace to receive the reward, and she was very happy.While admiring, recalling his naughty appearance when he was a child, he couldn't help but mention Mrs. Zhang, and finally shed two tears.
Zhang Nan also felt uncomfortable. Her parents died early, so the elder sister treated her best.But I didn't expect that the eldest sister was also short-lived in the end, and went away not long after giving birth to Lian'er.
Speaking of Jia Lian, Zhang Nan didn't see anyone else when he returned to Rongxi Hall, so he quickly asked Jia She, "Where is Lian'er? He came to me when I saw him last time."
Zhang Nan compared his chest.
Jia Amnesty: "Now I'm as tall as you. He's been busy picking things up these days, and only came home at night. I mentioned you earlier, but I didn't expect you to go to Beijing ahead of schedule, so I didn't wait at home today. "
"We can see each other sooner or later, so don't delay his business." After Zhang Nan smiled, he bluntly said that he was tired, asked Jia Amnesty for a room, and then went to rest.
In the evening, Jia Lian came back.
Jia Lian came to see Zhang Nan in a hurry, and then started talking with his uncle.
Jia Amnesty did not accompany them either.
When Jia She got up early in the morning, there was no movement in Zhang Nan's room.Hearing that Jia Lian didn't leave until midnight yesterday, Jia Amnesty specifically asked the maid not to make any noise, and let Zhang Nan wake up naturally after sleeping.
Not long after Jia Amnesty arrived at Yushitai, someone spread the news that the seventh issue of "Secrets of Neighbors" was on sale.
When Liang Leyun and other censors heard this, they hurriedly sent their servants to buy books.It turns out that with these people, they can read the same book together.But no one wants to be so late, and wants to read every sentence and every word in the book for themselves, so they all buy their own.
Qin Zhonglu also joined in the fun, and then came to ask Jia Amnesty if he wanted it, and he brought a copy.
Jia Amnesty shook his head.
Qin Zhonglu thought about it for the same reason, and felt that he was heartless and ungrateful.Mr. Jia broke up with the scholar, and now it is normal not to want to read.
Qin Zhonglu also admired the author. It is a miracle that he has not been banned by the emperor after digging out the scandals of court officials several times.
As soon as Qin Zhonglu finished expressing his feelings, he received the "Secrets of the Neighborhood" sent by his subordinates.Qin Zhonglu opened up the content and was dumbfounded. The entire volume of this issue was actually about Fang Qin.
What, divorced two wives?So fresh.
Qin Zhonglu hurriedly immersed himself in his studies.At the same time, the other rooms in Yushitai were also unusually quiet, and everyone was attracted by the contents of the book.Occasionally, because the above content is too surprising, there is an exclamation.
The emperor had just finished his worries and lamented that the "Secret Stories Next Door" had caused him trouble, when he turned around and received a book sent by Song Xi.The emperor sighed coldly, cursing in his heart what kind of trouble Jia She had caused him this time.It would be great if officials like him could be clean one day.
The emperor flipped through the book and saw that it was Fang Qin.
Well, fortunately, Fang Qin has been demoted by him.No matter what is written about him, this guy is no longer an official of the imperial court, and he does not need the imperial court to take the blame.
Thinking of this, the emperor felt much better.By the way, I also thought about it a little more, whether Jia She wrote about Fang Qin in this issue out of personal revenge.
But when he saw the content, the emperor felt that he was thinking too much, Jia She should write about him, well written!
Besides, Qin Zhonglu turned to the last page and saw that it was an advertisement for jewelry patterns. Then he confirmed that it was over, let go of his hand, and let out a long sigh.Now it's all right, after Fang Qin's incident, I'm afraid no one in the court will want to meddle in their own business and participate in Master Jia and "Secret Stories Next Door".
The first upright official participated in the performance, but they all stumbled, and they fell completely, and their reputation for the whole life was gone.Who will dare in the future!
Qin Zhonglu immediately thought of Fang Qin's pretentious faces before, and just wanted to laugh three times.
Having had enough fun, he couldn't help but want to share this joy with Jia She, but Jia She was not in the room.
Qin Zhonglu had too much to vent, so he turned to the rooms where the censors were supervised.These people had already started a heated discussion, and Qin Zhonglu hurriedly joined in.
In the name of incorruptibility, Fang Qin oppresses and binds relatives around him, especially poor women, at the cost of killing relatives, in the name of morality and righteousness, it is really abhorrent.
"But have you ever thought that there is nothing wrong with him doing this? In the name of unfilial piety, he can indeed divorce his wife, regardless of how many divorces he has. Also, he forced his current wife to go to the temple to pray for the sake of To fulfill his high righteous name, marrying his younger sister casually and forcing her to death was approved by his mother in advance, and he is not wrong in terms of the law." After listening to these censors scolding, Qin Zhonglu asked Impulsively participating in Fangqin, he expressed another opinion.
"That's right." Liang Leyun echoed.
Ge Qinglai: "Fortunately, "Secrets of My Neighbor" revealed his insidious deeds, otherwise, I don't know how many people would think that he is just a good official who is unflattering and flattering, with integrity and integrity."
"Hearing what you said, I just think it's even more disgusting." Liang Leyun poked his eyes with his fingers, "I was really blind back then, but I thought he was some kind of good person."
"But you said, since his actions are not illegal, can he still retain his reputation as a clean and honest gentleman?" Ge Qinglai worried that Fang Qin's reputation among the people accumulated over the years would not be so easy to change.
"The virtues of a gentleman are clear and tolerant, benevolent and good at judgment, clear without hurting the judge, straight but not correct. Fang Qin is demanding and harsh, overcorrects, and despises women, which one deserves to be called a gentleman?"
When everyone heard the sound of the warm spring water ding-dong, they hurriedly looked back, and were surprised to find that Mr. Song and their Mr. Jia were standing side by side at the door.
