The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Chapter 57 Chapter 1 Paparazzi

Jia Amnesty froze for a moment, then looked up at Song Xi, and found that he was staring at him with fiery eyes.

"If you want to beg me, you have to act as if you are begging. Just playing a piece of music is not enough." Jia She said deliberately to discourage him.

Instead, Song Xi's eyes brightened and he became more interested.He always liked Jia She's straightforwardness, so he got up with a flick of his sleeves, sat next to Jia She, and looked down at him.

"Tell me, what do you want me to ask you?"

Jia Amnesty sat up, turned around, and put his head on Song Xi's lap.He hooked Song Xi's belt with one hand, just on the edge of pulling it off.

Song Xi immediately grabbed Jia She's hand, smiled helplessly and said, "Unfortunately, there is not enough time, besides, I know you are teasing me."

Jia Amnesty smiled, noncommittal.

"I'm really sleepy. Be my pillow and let me sleep for a while, even if you beg me."

Jia Amnesty moved his head inward, pressed his forehead against Song Xi's abdomen, and closed his eyes wearily.

Song Xi knew that he had been busy sorting out information related to the Yuzhou flood case and the Suzhou fake official bank case recently, and he never missed it.This kind of trivial work is the most energy-consuming, not to mention that he usually has to deal with the official duties of Prime Minister Wu, so it is naturally tiring.

Song Xi covered Jia She with the mink blanket.

After a while, Jia Amnesty breathed slowly and fell asleep.

Song Xi casually took out a book from the pile of books on the small table.

The books Jia She usually read were mostly miscellaneous notes. Song Xi originally wanted to pick up a random book to pass the time, but he didn't expect that the book he pulled out was different, it was a picture book of secret dramas.

The name of this picture album is very subtle, it is called "Suiyuan Youmeng", and the cover is just a simple blue leather, without any special hints.

The reason why Song Xi didn't need to read it was that he was sure that it was a book of secret operas, because he had read this book before.It was still the day of New Year's Eve, and he flipped through it boredly.

In fact, since he met Jia She, he has read this kind of book a lot.He doesn't want to 'hate less when the book is used'.

Song Xi opened the book and found that some pages had been marked in the blank space, as if they were summarizing something.Song Xi smiled, and put the book back intact.He felt that Jia She was more interesting than himself.

Song Xi looked down at the profile face lying in his arms. He was obviously an old man, but he was sleeping soundly like a child.

Song Xi originally thought that Jia She would be more experienced than him in that matter, after all, he had married a wife and had children.

I really didn't expect that Jia She would read these things, and like an ignorant child, he was still studying hard.After thinking about it, it seems that Jia She's purpose of reading this kind of book is very similar to his.

Maybe he was the same as himself, worried that his clumsy hands would spoil the good first time.

Thinking of this, Song Xi felt very warm and suspicious.He looked at Jia Amnesty inquiringly, and gently placed his hand on his cheek to caress.Sometimes he really felt that the Jia She he knew was completely different from the previous Jia She.If he uses reasons such as 'the prodigal son turns back' or 'reforms', he doesn't believe it. No matter how much people change their past, they will always find the shadow of the past in the present.But Jia She, whom he fell in love with deeply, was not like this. He seemed to be completely new from head to toe, and had nothing to do with the past at all.

But sometimes Song Xi doubts whether he loves too deeply and wants to love more purely, so he is avoiding some things he doesn't like.But he obviously doesn't mind Jia She's past of marrying a wife and having children.

I never thought that one day I would be entangled and exhausted by such a thing.

Song Xi glanced at Jia She gently, and sighed helplessly with a smile.

Forget it, he should be content.The days of owning him are already the most beautiful for him.

At this time, there was a light knock on the door.

Probably the people outside heard the silence in the house, so they deliberately didn't knock too loudly.

Song Xi is well aware of his subordinates' propriety, knocking on the door at this time must be something important to return.

"Come in." Song Xi whispered.

Heng Shu tiptoed to open the door gently, poked his head in, and saw the scene in the room without any superfluous reaction on his expression.

"Master Liu is here."

Song Xi looked at the case on the table.

Hengshu immediately understood, wrote the matter on it, and showed it to Song Xi.

"Mr. Hu made a confession and bit out that Cao Lan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was his backer. He confessed that he wanted to curry favor with Cao Lan and eradicate dissidents, so he deliberately used the fake "Secrets of Neighbors" to deal with Liu Zhongliang."

Song Xi read the content and asked Heng Shu to withdraw.

After Hengshu closed the door, he sent Liu Zhizhong back.

Liu Zhizhong rushed over, unexpectedly, he didn't even see Mr. Song's shadow.

Liu Zhizhong sighed, turned around embarrassingly and was about to leave, but suddenly heard Master Jia's voice behind him.

"Watch Hu Laosan, don't let him have an accident like Wang Ziteng. The guards, clothes, meals, etc., but anyone who has contact with him must be carefully inspected, and no more business trips are allowed."

Liu Zhizhong glanced at Jia Amnesty, who was still sleepy, and quickly agreed.Song Xi then stood behind Jia Amnesty, and ordered Liu Zhizhong to take Hu Laosan directly to the dungeon of Gyeonggi Prefecture.

There are not many insiders in that place, if something happens again, it is easy to find out who did it.

Liu Zhizhong hurriedly agreed.

Jia Amnesty stretched, glanced at Song Xi: "You almost didn't wake me up."

"Later, I still had the heart to scream." Song Xi said to Jia She in a shallow voice.

Jia Amnesty yawned, turned around and entered the room, took a sip of tea to wake up.

"Why do you think Mr. Hu is in danger?" Song Xi asked.

"The Ministry of Households is in charge of the treasury's money and food. The money for disaster relief in Yuzhou must be raised through the Ministry of Accounts, and the fake official bank should also be put into the treasury by the Ministry of Households. This Hu Laosan easily confessed that his backer is Cao Lan, the Minister of the Ministry of Households. It’s become a little strange to be linked to everything, so be careful, and take more precautions, and you will never suffer.” Jia She explained.

"The Ministry of Household Affairs seems to be irresponsible, but as you said, everything is involved, so we should take precautions." Song Xi naturally believed in Jia She's ability to distinguish and summarize the news, "Mr. Hu bit out Cao Cao so easily. Lan, I'm afraid Cao Lan may not be his real backer."

"Well, I think so too."

Jia Amnesty flipped through his notebook where he recorded the data, "As for the use of Yuzhou's disaster relief funds, I have comprehensively investigated the files of various parties and carefully investigated. There are indeed problems, and there are many places that are not correct. Part of the disaster relief funds is used to buy food, and some It is used for post-disaster reconstruction. The purchase price of grain recorded in the account is higher than the average price of rice and grain reported by other state capitals of the Ministry of Households during the same period. Also, the silver taels needed to rebuild a private house are also higher than the normal price in the area. At that time, there were 830 houses for resettling victims. However, according to the county annals of Yuzhou at that time, the total number was only 940. It is basically certain that the disaster relief case involved serious corruption.”

"Dali Temple Minister Zuo Zhiqiu, Dali Temple Director Jia Yucun, just took office for three days. This news is fatal to them. Jiang Hongtreya, who recommended them, was in charge of the disaster relief case that year. He is not clean. Others How dare the emperor appoint the recommended person."

What Song Xi meant was that if Jia She looked down on Zuo Zhiqiu and Jia Yucun, they could be demoted by reporting to the police right now.

"Zuo Zhiqiu was a magistrate at the time, and he was suspected of neglecting to report even the slightest crime. Besides, once Jiang Hongtre recommended him, it was confirmed that they had a close relationship and a nest of corruption. It was easy to get rid of these two people. The key is the people behind the scenes, we haven't even caught a fox's tail." Jia She turned to stare at Song Xi and asked him if he still suspected that this matter was related to the eleventh prince, but what evidence did he have.

"Even if it's related, there won't be any reason to be caught." When mentioning the eleventh prince, Song Xi's attitude became very cold.

"But suspicion without evidence is very likely to wrong a good person." Jia Amnesty reminded Song Xidao.

Song Xi thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't rule out this possibility, but to me, it's not important anymore."

"Why?" Jia Amnesty asked inexplicably, "Is there something you didn't tell me?"

"The spies in the palace told me that before Jiang Hongtreya died, he went secretly to Jiang's mansion twice." Song Xi's face turned serious again, "'A gentleman should be careful not to be suspicious', I taught him a lot of words. He didn’t take the smart way, he chose a stupid way. Regardless of whether the disaster relief case is involved with him again, it is a fact that he is restless, and in my eyes, there is no chance for him to do anything wrong.”

"No wonder you always seemed to be overthinking, which was a bit strange." Jia Shen rubbed his chin, he didn't like things getting complicated at all.The more people involved in a case, the more work it takes to sort it out.

Jia Amnesty served the tea and continued to pour it into his mouth silently.

"Forget it, you don't have to think too much about Eleven. He actually doesn't have much ability. At most, he just has a little ambition to mess things up." Song Xi changed the subject, "The third prince will be crowned king in the spring of this year. Gong has established his own mansion. His mansion was chosen by Si Tianjian and rebuilt by the Ministry of Industry, under my supervision. Are you interested in taking a look?"

Jia Amnesty was puzzled, "No matter how beautiful the third prince's mansion is, it's not ours. What's the use of going to see it?"

"Waiting is waiting, it's better to enjoy the scenery." Song Xi said.

As far as Jia She knew, Song Xi and the third prince had always been at odds.The third prince never respected him as an uncle, and Song Xi never took the third prince seriously.With Song Xi's temperament of vengeance, it would be strange if he would wholeheartedly build the mansion for the third prince. If he is willing to take over this job, he must be bored to deal with him.

But if there are problems with Song Xirang's rebuilt mansion, then as the supervisor, Song Xi himself cannot escape the responsibility.If it weren't for the mansion, Jia She couldn't figure out how Song Xi would deal with the third prince.

Seeing Jia She's frowning and thinking about something, Song Xi asked with a smile, "Will you go?"

"It's just a mansion, I just want to see how rare it is." Jia She was really curious because of doubts.

Song Xi saw through Jia She's thoughts at a glance, he touched Jia She's face, and the corner of his mouth smiled clearly, "This is where you are inferior to me. If you compare everything, what should I do."

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he looked at Song Xi with great interest, "I never thought that Mr. Song would be unconfident, and I would be able to compare with you? When? He De He Neng, flattered."

"Enhou is so wise and wise that he doesn't know himself." Song Xi smiled, his eyes full of doting.

Jia She suddenly shivered, and hurriedly waved his hands to tell Song Xi not to praise him anymore. Anyway, he's fine right now, he just woke up and needs to be refreshed, so he hurried to the mansion to see how it was remodeled.

When the two of them went out, they sent people to Baixiang Tower to spread the word, and once the portrait came out, they would send it to the Sun Mansion.

When the two went, Jia Amnesty took the same carriage at Song Xi's request.

Originally, Jia Amnesty didn't think anything of it, but he regretted it after getting into the carriage.Because Song Xi is always dishonest.Although his good-looking hands were not placed in any indecent place, if they touched his face or grabbed his hands, they would become very noisy after a long time.

Jia She endured it for a while, seeing that he was still holding his hand, not getting tired of playing with it, so he simply grabbed his collar and kissed him proactively.

If you want to be intimate, it's as simple as that, how nice it is.

However, it turns out.

He thought again.

Jia Amnesty's mouth was gagged until he got out of the car and didn't stop.Fortunately, his neighbor's house is not far from Sun's mansion, if it takes a little longer, Jia She really doubts that there will be a car shock between the two of them.

Jia Amnesty finally got out of the car with a blushing face, and immediately walked straight to the mansion.Jia Amnesty summed up his experience silently in his heart: when in love, it is safer to travel by car separately.

Song Xi came out later, his face seemed indifferent, but it was hard to hide the satisfaction in the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Heng Shu silently put away the mahogany pedals, seeing that Zhu Mao was trying to keep up with the two masters, he immediately dragged him back.

Zhu Mao was stunned: "Why are you dragging me? The masters have all gone into the mansion!"

"We still follow from a distance," Heng Shu said.

Zhu Mao met Shang Hengshu's meaningful gaze, understood, and nodded suddenly.The two of them walked slowly, controlling the distance so that they could vaguely see the figures of the two masters from a distance.

After the reconstruction, the area of ​​the Sun Mansion almost doubled.The garden is deep and beautiful, with bright corridors leading to the ridge, and the atmosphere is magnificent.The construction of the house is simple and elegant, solemn and solemn.

Jia She and Song Xi took a stroll in the back garden. There are towering ancient trees, curved corridors and pavilions, surrounded by mountains and water, and being in it really makes people feel much better.

Jia She stood on the hillside full of red plum blossoms, looking at the emerald green lake not far away. There was a five-story pavilion on the east bank of the lake. It was an excellent place to climb up and enjoy the scenery.The reflection of the pavilion is reflected on the lake, sparkling, it is really beautiful.

"As expected of the mansion you built under your supervision, it's beautiful." Jia She, who had never paid much attention to luxury, was also attracted by such a scene at this moment, feeling the comfort of the noble life.

"That pavilion was specially built by the Ministry of Industry, named Yunxue Pavilion." Song Xi explained.

"Based on the name, the building is filled with books, right?" Jia She asked.

Song Xi nodded.

Jia Amnesty couldn't help laughing, and finally understood where Song Xi was bad.His trick is really killing people invisible.

With such an elegant and quiet garden view, who would want to study here?And as far as Jia She knew, the third prince's attainments in poetry and calligraphy were average.Generally, after the prince leaves the palace, without the restraint in the palace, he will have more fun.Song Xi made such a boring thing in such a beautiful scenery, the third prince would definitely go crazy.

"It is full of classics and historical articles and classics on state governance of the past dynasties, and the walls are also engraved with many theories on state governance of contemporary famous Confucians." Song Xi added.

Jia She pursed his lips and gave Song Xi a thumbs up. His "disappointing" move was truly amazing.If the third prince doesn't have enough brains, he will turn the Yunxue Pavilion into a place for fun.Jia Amnesty believes that if he doesn't use him to export everything, there will be someone from Yushitai who will participate in the book.The third prince will be furious at that time, and there is nothing he can do about it.The emperor will also feel that Song Xi has arranged properly and fulfilled the responsibility of teaching the elders.

Song Xi's move was really ruthless.

Song Xi took Jia She to the "Dongtian Fudi" again, which is a fake mountain forest with layers upon layers, twists and turns, and quiet. Inside, there is a place like a cave, where the sunlight is sparsely scattered through the cracks in the stones. It must be very good to enjoy the cool.In the depths of the cave, there is also a stele with the word "Fu" written by the emperor himself, which means the auspicious meaning of the cave's heaven and earth.

Judging from the matter of Yunxue Pavilion, this "Cave Heaven and Paradise" must have a deep meaning.Jia She asked Song Xi what was so special about this place.

Song Xi just smiled and said nothing, but told Jia Amnesty to wait and see. "If there is, it will be counted. If there is no one, I will say it."

"You're still on the hook."

Jia Amnesty is willing to keep this curiosity, for life is interesting only if there is some anticipation.Then he patted Song Xi on the shoulder, asking him not to disappoint his heart of waiting to see the excitement.

Jia She was about to leave, but Song Xi pulled him back, put his hands on the back of his neck, and kissed Jia She deeply for a while.

The redness that had just faded from Jia Amnesty's face appeared again.

Song Xi touched his cheek with pity, and sighed: "I didn't expect you to blush."

"I'm not too embarrassed, but this skin is natural." Jia Amnesty touched his face, hating it for not living up to expectations.

Seeing him like this, Song Xi was even more reluctant, hugged him and kissed him again.

"I only wish it wasn't summer."

At the end, he sighed.

Jia Amnesty didn't pay much attention to his words, and only realized after leaving the mansion that Song Xi seemed to have something in his words.

Could it be that if it's not cold in summer, he can...

Jia Amnesty felt his face get hot, so he simply didn't want to.He turned his head and saw Hengshu holding a scroll of paintings in his hand, so he knew that the portrait had come out, so he hurriedly took it to look at it.

Song Xi came after him, looked at him, but was indifferent.But he saw that Jia She was identifying the person on the painting, so he knew that he might have seen this person.

"who is it?"

"Sun, he looks like this," Jia She frowned and looked at Zhu Mao.

Zhu Mao nodded straightly, "The young one also thinks that this person is like the grandpa of the Sun family. Just now I asked the person who came to give the painting, and said that the son surnamed Sun was only about seventeen or eighteen years old. The young one thought it was him. I deliberately dressed up to be a few years old, and went to Baixianglou to fool around."

"Sun Shaozu?" Song Xi sneered, "If I remember correctly, you said before that he had just lost his father."

"Why did you remember wrongly? It's him." Jia Amnesty wrote the picture on the scroll and handed it to Zhu Mao, "I'll take care of this matter. Go quickly."

Jia Amnesty knew that Song Xi had deliberately spared time to accompany him today, but in fact he had more things to do than his own.

Song Xi smiled at Jia Amnesty and said goodbye, got into the car and left.

Zhu Mao held the painting in his arms angrily, and sighed to Jia She: "This person surnamed Sun is taking revenge on the master?"

"He didn't know the real relationship between me and my neighbor's secret news, it might just be a coincidence. Instead, he had reported on me several times in the secret news office, like revenge." Jia She analyzed.

"Lack of money and need someone to help, and you can still go to a gold-selling cave like Baixianglou during the filial piety period, bah! Shameless!" Zhu Mao said disgustedly.

Jia Amnesty didn't say anything, got in the car and drove directly to Rongfu.

When he arrived at the place, as soon as Jia She got out of the car, he heard an old woman's voice.

"The old lady is finally waiting for you!"

Jia Amnesty turned around and saw a carriage parked not far across the street.Then a pair of old hands stretched out, and an old mother helped Concubine Rong get out of the car.

Although the emperor demoted the title of Prince Jin, Concubine Rong's status as a concubine was retained because of the emperor's mercy.

In terms of etiquette, Jia Amnesty still had to salute Concubine Rong.

"Master Jia and I have important matters to discuss, and the others just wait here."

Concubine Rong shouted coldly to the attendants around her, then glared at Jia She with dignity.After that, Concubine Rong walked into the Rong Mansion with the support of her mother.

"Years ago you escaped me, but now that it's the first month of the month, I'm still looking for you to see how you can hide." Concubine Rong turned her head and saw Jia Amnesty following, she sarcastically angrily.

Jia Amnesty smiled politely at Concubine Rong, "You misunderstood, it's not hiding."

Concubine Rong stopped and stared at Jia She: "Hey, seeing me, an old woman who died alone, would make her son a bully, wouldn't she? How dare you talk back and argue, you said you haven't seen me before, you were hiding or something. "

"Respect for the elderly." Jia Amnesty replied immediately.

Concubine Rong just turned around and continued to walk. After hearing the words, his raised leg froze for a moment, and then her whole face turned pale. She shook her lips, and firmly grasped the hand that Mammy supported her, forcing her to Mammy took a cold breath because of the pain.

Concubine Rong landed heavily, her whole body was like a raging fire, her eyes were like poisoned arrows, and she shot at Jia Amnesty angrily.

"You deliberately avoided me and let me spend all day waiting for you in Rongguo Mansion, so you are showing respect for the elderly? Heh," Concubine Rong's chest heaved unsteadily, "Is there something wrong with your Jia family's head?"

Jia Amnesty responded in silence and did not respond to Concubine Rong.

"Why, you're 'respecting the elderly' again now, why don't you talk?" Concubine Rong asked angrily.

Jia Amnesty blinked, bowed slightly to Concubine Rong, and said, "Yes."

He punched the cotton again, and was ridiculed by others!People see themselves as an old lady, so they don't plan to get to know her as well!

Concubine Rong hated being looked down upon most in her life.Under the banner of respecting the elderly, Jia Amnesty was clearly sarcastic and perfunctory to her.Look down on her!

"Bastard!" Concubine Rong became impatient, and raised her hand towards Jia Amnesty's face.

"Toffee Concubine, please calm down, our lord's face will be kept in court tomorrow." Gui San immediately stepped forward, holding a shoulder knife that had not been sheathed in his hand, and bowed respectfully to Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong scolded: "What are you, you dare to offend Concubine Tai, get out of here!"

The third ghost looks at Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty moved his eyelids slightly.

Jia Amnesty had been hiding from Concubine Rong before, just to save face for Concubine Rong out of courtesy.Since she still dared to harass him this time, why would Jia Amnesty be afraid, even if she harassed the emperor, she would not take it for granted.

Gui San immediately ordered his subordinates: "Please Shang Fang's sword."

Upon hearing these words, Concubine Rong's face, which had just recovered its color, became as slumped as white paper.She looked at Jia She in disbelief, and took a few steps back. Fortunately, she had the support of the old mother, otherwise she would have been stunned and fainted at this moment.

"You have Shang Fang's sword?" Concubine Rong looked at Jia Amnesty in surprise.

Jia She looked at Concubine Rong indifferently, but just kept silent.Even if he stared at Concubine Rong calmly, in Concubine Rong's eyes, that was condescending indifference, full of disdain for herself.

Concubine Rong turned around and saw someone running from a distance holding a long object wrapped in bright yellow brocade.She shook her lips in shock, pointed at Jia Amnesty, and before she had time to say anything, she hurriedly shouted that she had a headache, and asked the people around her to help her back home.

"The matter of Shang Fang's sword is related to court secrets, so please keep it a secret. Once the trouble is revealed and the sage finds out, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to 'respect the old'." Jia She warned.

Concubine Rong stopped her feet, her figure froze for a while, and then she staggered away with the support of the old mother, trembling all over her body.

"Master, is the old lady beside her trustworthy?" Ghost San looked at the pair of master and servant, and said with some concern.

Jia Amnesty: "Prince Qi's mansion has always been strict, and the elders around Concubine Rong must be more sensible, so don't worry."

Since Concubine Rong knows how to avoid Shang Fang's sword, she still has reason.Concubine Rong, who lost her son, is still a concubine after all, and can still be buried according to the regulations of the prince after death, and join the grave with the old Qi Wang.This is the last face she wants to save now.

So just because of this, Concubine Rong Taiye would never dare to make any troubles.If she used up the last little bit of mercy left to her by the emperor, let alone the royal garden she would not be able to live in, the emperor would also take away this vain title of "twilight concubine".

Mother Jia got the news that Concubine Rong was coming again, so she hurriedly brought someone to rescue her.Unexpectedly, when we arrived at Rongxi Hall, only Jia She was drinking tea leisurely, and there was no Concubine Rong at all.

Jia's mother glanced at Wang Xifeng beside her, and then asked Jia Amnesty, "Where is he?"

"It has already been sent away, and I won't come again, you don't have to worry about it." Jia She said.

"Oh, it's good to go." Mother Jia sighed, sat down, sent away the idlers and others, and mentioned Yuan Chun's marriage to Jia She, "It's almost March, and this big girl's marriage has to be settled."

"As long as the second brother and his wife have no objections, and the Wei family's wife thinks it's okay, it's easy. Why do you need to think about it?" Jia She asked.

Jia's mother frowned, "I'm still a little uneasy. As long as the marriage is not settled, I'm afraid that something will change. I heard that Wei Qingdong's performance appraisal in the official department this spring was rated as top, and his promotion is just around the corner."

"Yes, I've heard that too. He's a talented person. It's not surprising that he can be promoted and appreciated. Maybe he will be promoted to an official like Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Punishment." Jia She said lightly.

Jia's mother was very happy, and Jia She had a high opinion of praise, but he was worried that after Wei Qingdong was promoted, he would look down on her Yuanchun.

"He is so young and promising, it is not impossible for him to marry someone from a younger family with better background." Mother Jia said worriedly.

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia's mother, "Have you heard any news?"

Jia Mu nodded, "I can't hide anything from you. I heard the rumors outside that it seems that the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting has been very close to him recently. I asked someone to inquire about it. This Minister of the Ministry of Accounting has a young daughter in his family. At the age of sixteen, he is loved by his parents in every possible way, and he has not yet discussed marriage."

"Shangshu of the Household Department, Cao Lan's daughter?" Jia She sighed, "His eldest daughter died of anger when she married the King of Qi, and the youngest daughter is reluctant to marry high and suffer. It is normal to want to marry low."

"That is to say, you know your second brother's official status. Although your second brother is not bad in nature, he is honest, honest, knowledgeable and courteous, but he is still not as good as the Minister of the Household Department. In comparison, our Duke Although the mansion has a high family status, it's a pity that the eldest girl is not your first wife's daughter, and she is also older, so she will lose out in the end." Jia Mu said.

"There are those who are willing to marry low, but they may not necessarily want to marry high. Even if there are variables, we can't force him to do so. After all, before getting engaged, he is free to choose how he chooses." Jia She let Jia Mu relax, If the marriage cannot be settled, there are other candidates, so don't get too hasty and reckless, do something unreasonable, superfluous, and disgusting.

Mother Jia heard Jia Amnesty's warning to herself, looked at him guiltyly, and nodded.Then he didn't say anything more, and left in a hurry.

When she returned to her room, she hurriedly called Jia Zheng's father to come to her, and gave him an order so that the two of them would have no other thoughts.

Mrs. Wang asked: "Brother really said that, don't you need to explain anything?"

"Just wait, none of you are allowed to do stupid things, and you are not allowed to find someone to spread rumors. Just listen to the boss, don't add to the snake, and tarnish our girl's reputation instead."

Jia Zheng hastily agreed, "All according to mother's orders."

Jia Zheng didn't want to intervene in this matter at all, and he was also afraid of suffering before.If the husband and wife do something to cause trouble, they will be scolded again.It's better to be honest, don't do a good job, and eventually something goes wrong, just find the big brother to take responsibility.

After coming out of Jia Mu's place, Jia Zheng also told Mrs. Wang not to make any small moves.

Mrs. Wang was only worried about whether her daughter would be able to get married well, and she was even more chilled when she heard that Jia Zheng was just serious and still talking to her elder brother and didn't care about her daughter's marriage at all.

Mrs. Wang has always had a thorn in her heart since she watched the story of Fang Qin in the seventh issue of "Secrets Next Door".

Mrs. Wang felt more and more that Jia Zheng was just like Fang Qin in the book, a hypocrite seeking fame.He kept claiming that he was a benevolent and righteous gentleman, and that he could not get ahead in an official position. As a father at home, he never really cared about raising his children.

I won't talk about Yuan Chun's marriage.It is said that he was never interested in Baoyu as a father.Except for the occasional day when he remembered Baoyu's homework exam and reprimanded him if he didn't answer well, he didn't see him do anything to really care about Baoyu, let alone worry about Baoyu's education and study. matter.

In contrast, looking at the elder brother's care for the concubine Jia Cong, that is the kindness that a father should have.Even for Lian'er, he is more attentive than before, encouraging him to correct his mistakes and motivating him to improve.

Her precious son Baoyu is a hundred times better than Jia Lian.But Jia Zheng scolded him all day long, and rarely had good moments.Therefore, Baoyu has always been terrified of him. Maybe the boy's fear of studying is also caused by being intimidated by Jia Zheng.

In short, Mrs. Wang looked down on Jia Zheng more and more.And Jia Zheng also disliked Mrs. Wang for being too incompetent and honest. She neither taught Baoyu to study and improve, nor did she have the tender admiration a woman should have for her husband.So Jia Zheng didn't like to get along with Mrs. Wang very much, and often went to see Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao has gone berserk these days, and it's better to pinch everything, even Wang Xifeng's housekeeper, she can send someone to beg for something.

Wang Xifeng didn't like meeting such people, at first she let her go, but when she saw that Aunt Zhao was making progress, she simply asked the women in the yard to slap the maid who was doing things for her.As a result, Aunt Zhao refused to accept it, so she brought someone to find the old woman to settle the score, and wanted to call her back.

Wang Xifeng was not there at the time, and there was a commotion in the garden.Later, the mother-in-law held her broken head and ran to Jia Mu to complain to Wang Xifeng. Wang Xifeng cried angrily and didn't speak.

Mother Jia was so angry that she asked Aunt Zhao to be sent away. Then she turned around and scolded Jia Zheng for not being a thing.In a hurry, he pinned the words of "lust for wine and sex" on Jia Zheng's head.

Jia Zheng made repeated apologies and dared not make mistakes.Afterwards, Aunt Zhao was scolded and scolded severely, thinking about how uncomfortable Jia Mu said to him, and determined to prove that she was not lustful, so she began to spend the night alone in the study.

Seeing that Jia Zheng didn't come to see her like this, Mrs. Wang was very angry. She always felt that Jia Zheng might spoil his concubine and kill his wife, so her heart became colder.So she decided that from now on, she would never show any sincerity to Jia Zheng, and just live up to the name of husband and wife. She will teach the children well and don't expect anything from Jia Zheng.

……

At the end of February, after Lin Ruhai reported his duties to the Ministry of Officials, he was rated as top-notch by the performance appraisal, and was finally summoned by the emperor.

A few days later, the emperor suddenly decreed that Lin Ruhai was appointed Minister of Dali Temple, and he took office immediately.

This thing is new.

Because as we all know, there was a Dali Temple official named Zuo Zhiqiu who had just been appointed by the imperial court after the year, and now there was another one.It can be said that there is no precedent in history. There are two Dali Temple ministers in the court at the same time.

The emperor explained the reason for the appointment of two ministers of Dali Temple on the grounds that the position had been vacant for too long and there were too many cases.Because of the second opinion of the prime minister, Song Xi and others, the ministers did not refute it.

At the beginning of March, Wei Qingdong's mother Tian went to Beijing.

On the day of Tian's arrival, she couldn't wait to post a post, and was going to visit Rongfu.

The next day, Wei Qingdong's mother and son came to visit Jia's mother with gifts.

Mrs. Wang saw Tian's honesty and kindness, and she liked it very much. She also saw Wei Qingdong's handsome appearance and dignified appearance, and she was even more satisfied.

Mrs. Tian also met Yuan Chun, and saw that she was rich and well-educated, well-educated, and although she was three years older than Wei Qingdong, she was stable and sensible, and she was a delicate and careful girl.What's more, it's good that she has learned the rules in the palace, endured hardships, and served others, and knows the importance of forbearance and peace in living a life, unlike some young daughters who are accustomed to play tricks.

Tian thought that he could not stay in Beijing for a long time, and his son Wei Qingdong's back house could only be supported by his own daughter-in-law.Because she can't help, and can't help control, the candidate for a wife here is not only family background, but temperament is more important. She must be able to pinch the bottle, so Yuan Chun is the most suitable one.

Besides, Wei Qingdong, he had actually seen the portrait Jia She gave him a long time ago, and just looking at the portrait, he was somewhat concerned about Yuan Chun.Now after seeing Yuan Chun with his own eyes, he felt that she was more beautiful than in the painting, and most importantly, her temperament was more polite and stable than what he had heard in private.

Therefore, when his mother Tian asked him what he thought, Wei Qingdong nodded to Tian with satisfaction.

After a few days, a matchmaker came to the door and formally negotiated the marriage.

Because the Tian family cannot stay in Beijing for too long, and Wei Qingdong will be promoted by the court, it is expected that the new official will not be able to return to his hometown for the time being.Tian suggested that after her son's marriage was settled, she would return to her hometown.Therefore, the wedding date was brought forward, and it was set in two months.

In mid-March, the No. 11 issue of "Secrets Next Door" came out.

Sun Shaozu thought he had escaped, and took the money given to him by Huang Hongtai, the second shopkeeper of Moxiangfang, to enjoy himself in several black kilns.The reason why he came here and didn't go to Baixianglou again was because he was afraid of running into 'acquaintances', and there was another reason. He was running out of money, and he couldn't help the momentum of his lower body. We can only settle for the next best thing.

This time, he just finished having fun, pulled up his pants, lost his money, and was wandering on the street, so he was going to find a restaurant for dinner.He was thinking about which one to eat, when he happened to pass by a tea shop, he heard someone mentioning his name and scolding him.

Sun Shaozu glanced at that person, but he didn't know him at all, so why did he suddenly call him by name.He was so angry that he immediately shook his fist, and was going to settle accounts with that person.

Then I heard someone talk about "Secrets of My Neighbor". When Sun Shaozu saw that the man was really holding the new No.11 issue in his hand, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and hurriedly snatched the book over to read.
