The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber
Chapter 96 Chapter 1 Paparazzi
The girls in the house were all handpicked by the three nuns in charge.The three women went to some impoverished places or places that were severely affected by disasters. After seeing the girl's appearance, they seduced her parents with small profits, and most of the parents in these places would choose to sell their daughters for their livelihood. .The women buy the girls back from their parents for a low price of a few taels of silver, and after four or five years of training, they can sell them for a high price of tens of thousands of taels.Moreover, because these girls have been domesticated and lost themselves, in addition to obeying their new masters, they will continue to obey the orders of the three nuns in charge.
Among the girls trained, the ones with the best qualifications will be "lucky" to be the concubines and maidservants of wealthy families, while those girls who are not selected will be sold into a romantic place, where they will be ravaged.Even the former, the final fate may not be so good, they may still enjoy the riches and honor before their color fades, and when they get old, they lose favor and end up being killed by the wife or forced to throw themselves into the well. .
A total of 52 girls were rescued from the house this time, the oldest being 13 years old and the youngest being six years old.As for the placement of these girls in the future, it is very debatable.
Liu Zhizhong, the Prime Minister of Gyeonggi Province, is currently the person who is most worried about this matter.Now all the vacant rooms in Gyeonggi Mansion are used to accommodate these girls, but they are still very crowded, some of them cannot fit in, and the whole yard is noisy, it is really noisy.And the most terrible point is that those eleven or twelve-year-old girls who are older, have only lived in Gyeonggi Prefecture for a day, and they have already flirted with the government servants in the government office, and they have the intention of colluding with each other.
Whenever Liu Zhizhong passed by where these girls lived, he would immediately be besieged by these Yingyingyanyans.If it was just a woman shouting softly by his side, Liu Zhizhong might be lustful and moved.But now this is a group of people gathered around, listening to them calling Mrs. Liu in coquettish voices one after another, Liu Zhizhong only felt the magic sound ringing in his ears, and the goosebumps all over his body could fall twice, he really wanted to vomit.
After Liu Zhizhong escaped, he hurriedly complained to Song Xi, begging their lords to solve this trouble as soon as possible.
Song Xi didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, so he sent Liu Zhizhong to find Jia Amnesty.
After hearing Liu Zhizhong's report, Jia Amnesty felt that this matter should be resolved as soon as possible.He wandered around the house with his hands behind his back, and then said immediately: "Since these girls all have contracts of sale, call the parents of these girls and take them back. If you can't find them or the road is too far, Give me another list."
Liu Zhizhong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and saluted Jia Amnesty deeply, almost kneeling down to thank him for his 'life-saving grace'.
Jia Amnesty then asked Zhu Mao to take the money to buy two remote houses, as long as there are enough rooms to accommodate people.
"A house on the East Street has been vacant for several years. The price is cheap, and it meets the requirements of the master. It is said that it has been haunted by ghosts."
"It's good to be haunted, just let the evil spirit on those ghosts kill the evil spirit on those girls." Liu Zhizhong was very grateful when he heard that Jia Amnesty had helped him solve the resettlement problem for the past few days, and naturally he didn't dislike anything. .
Jia Amnesty nodded and asked Zhu Mao to quickly buy the house with money.
The owner of the ghost house was naturally happy when he heard that it could be sold, and the contract was completed on the same day.After Zhu Mao asked someone to prepare dozens of sets of quilts, he informed Liu Zhizhong.Those Yingying Yanyans in Gyeonggi Prefecture were taken to this house to live temporarily.All the staff in the house are women, and four women are added to guard the front and back doors respectively.Outside the house, it will be guarded by yamen, so that the trouble of those girls seducing men will be avoided.
"I'm afraid that after these girls are sent home, they will still be dishonest." Jia She sighed, "Especially those who are older and have a fixed mind. If no one has the patience to watch and teach, just I'm afraid I can't change it."
"You can't help with this kind of thing for the rest of your life, so let it be. At least you saved them and gave them a chance to choose a new life. As for how they want to live in the future, that's their own business and has nothing to do with you." Song Xi Persuade.
Jia Amnesty glanced at Song Xi, circled the edge of the tea cover with his index finger, and kept thinking of ideas.Those girls who couldn't find a home, he couldn't just let them go.Looking back, I would get some money to send them away, but it might not end well. After all, the girl’s family is alone, helpless, and it’s hard to live.
"I heard that these girls were taught not only to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also to manage accounts. If they want to, they can find a matchmaker and match them up. There should be only a few of them without a home, at most a dozen or so, in the capital city There are so many adults, but it is easy to find a home." Song Xi suggested.
Jia She smiled: "Your two words are useful."
"Which of my words is useless? It's someone who is blessed. After hearing too much, he doesn't cherish it." Song Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Jia Amnesty put one hand on Song Xi's shoulder, and looked sideways at him, "Let me see, is there someone who has a problem?"
"Have an opinion on Mr. Jia? Song doesn't dare." Song Xi pretended to be petty, and gave Jia Amnesty a hand.
Jia Amnesty reached out and hooked Song Xi's chin, and brought his lips very close, only one finger away from Song Xi's mouth, "Little scholar, my lord sees that you are pretty, from now on you will follow my lord, and be with me." My lord, be happy every day, and I will guarantee you meat every day."
"I can't wait." Song Xi lowered his eyes, and his slender eyelashes hit Jia She's forehead, sweeping gently, making Jia She feel a little itchy.
Jia Amnesty slowly moved to Song Xi's mouth, and kissed his lips lightly. As soon as they touched, the two sides separated, and then they felt that it was not enough.The two of them tacitly kissed each other even more, and they rubbed each other lingeringly, without being separated for a long time.
The people in the capital are very concerned about the case of the Cao family.Shi Shi was the first to be tried, and it was the old lady beside her who told her true identity in detail, but Shi Shi still refused to confess that she was not the daughter of Shan Guogong.
Shan Guogong was then summoned to come. Seeing that Shi Shi refused to admit it, he also insisted that Shi Shi was his daughter. He insisted that Gyeonggi Prefecture tortured and forced the nanny to give false testimony. Da Tian listened, let the emperor make a decision, and return the innocence of him and his daughter.
After Liu Zhizhong took a look at the gavel, he said solemnly: "It's ridiculous, I have no grievances or enmities with you in the capital city, why did you let that nanny give false testimony to frame you. Don't jump over the wall and bite people in a hurry Gong Gong, open your old eyes and see, now is not the time for Shi Shi to guarantee your innocence. Cao Ban and Cao Qingming, have you forgotten, they also confessed that you participated in it and helped The Shi family is selling 'Little Birds' among the dignitaries in the capital."
Duke Shan Guo shook his body when he heard this, his face was pale.He glanced at Shi Shi, frowned, and pointed at her with trembling fingers.
Shi Shi turned his head to look at Shan Guogong indifferently, and sneered: "What do you mean by looking at me like that? When I Zhang Luo was raising little birds outside Beijing, you also agreed with yourself. Impersonating your dead daughter, It was your own decision to let me marry Cao Lan. Now that something happened, it would be your bad luck, so don't blame me."
"You bloody whore, what are you doing, Hu Qin!" Lord Shan Guo said angrily.
"I expected today to be here, but it's straightforward. Now that things are up to now, I don't need to pretend. Anyway, I think it's a beautiful maid raised by Duke Shu. This old man was in his 40s and he was not doing well. You have to raise a group of little girls who are naked to serve him, babbling for him, and boasting that his thing is so hard that it can lift the sky. In fact, it is as soft as an earthworm, and you can't get it in even if you grab it." Shi Yue said , the sneer at the corner of his mouth grew louder.
This is the opening of the public trial, and there are many onlookers outside the hall. Hearing this blatant words, they can't help but sigh in unison.
Duke Shu was ashamed and his lips trembled. Hearing the noise and ridicule of the crowd, his body trembled, and he finally stood still.Duke Shanguo turned around and glared at Shi Shi angrily, "You little bastard, don't spread rumors! I really regret why I didn't kill you back then!"
Shan Guogong is old, but he is very impulsive when he is angry, and he is about to rush up and pinch Shi Shi.The yamen servants hurriedly stopped Shan Guogong, who realized that his actions would damage his status as a nobleman.Then he calmed down, tidied up his clothes, and stood still again.
"Master Liu, what this little hoof says is all slander, and the matter of raising birds is all the idea of this bitch, and has nothing to do with me. As for the identity, it is true that I saw that she looked like me when I died. But I did not hide this matter from the Cao family, Cao Lan knew about it, and married her willingly." Shan Guogong said loudly.
When the onlookers heard this, they were in an uproar.Everyone knew Cao Lan's status back then. He was the eldest son of a respectable scholarly Shilu family, and he was young and promising.It is ridiculous that such an honorable person would be willing to marry a maidservant from a humble background.
Even the common people who were watching didn't believe it, let alone Liu Zhizhong.But this matter needs to be confirmed by Cao Lan, so he temporarily withdraws from the court, and Shan Guogong is temporarily asked to return to the mansion to wait for orders.During this period of time, there will naturally be guards from the yamen, and no one from Shan Guogong is allowed to go out to deliver letters without authorization.
As for Shi Shi, Jia Amnesty still had details to interrogate, so he met her in the side hall.
Seeing Jia She with a numb face, Shi Shi didn't show any fear, probably because he had seen through the consequences of his own death, so he didn't have any fear.
"That day when you knelt in front of the Rong Mansion and pleaded for your husband, didn't you mean it from the bottom of your heart?"
"Hahaha..." Shi Shi suddenly laughed, and then looked up at Jia She, "Sincerely? How can there be a man in this world who will sincerely treat a woman for the rest of his life. But it's just some newcomers who forget the old ones, eating from a bowl It's just the dirty things in the pot."
"How do you talk!" Zhu Mao was dissatisfied with Shi's words, which discredited all the men.
Jia Amnesty signaled Zhu Mao to shut up, "It's fine."
Shi Shi glanced at Jia She in surprise, "My lord looks different at first glance, but you can't fool me, I've heard it before, you are also a very lecherous old dude, my lord. I don't wrong you by saying this. "
"I don't mind what you think." Jia She said calmly, and then asked Shi Shi, since he didn't like Cao Lan, why he went to such lengths to ask for help that day.
"A play, show it to Cao Ban, let him know that I really want to find a way out for his son. Besides, I have to show it to Cao Lan. If I show my loyalty like this, he will definitely take pity on me, a poor wife. I will say nothing later. He is also easy to listen to me." What Shi said was almost the same as Jia She's inference at the beginning.
Jia Amnesty stared into Shi Shi's eyes, and asked her, "What do you want him to listen to you?"
Shi shivered, and laughed again, "So the lord wanted to ask me this. I can tell the lord, but what good will it do me?"
Jia Amnesty looked at Shi's face and said with a smile, "The one in the palace has the word 'virtuous'."
Shi's eyes widened slightly, then he lowered his head, concealed his expression, and said calmly, "Don't lie to me, my lord, I won't fall for it."
"It's up to you." Jia She has already found a definite answer from Shi's expression, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Shi, "You don't have a child left behind, so you can't be a wife in the deep house, so desperately Do these things, what are you trying to do, that little money?"
"How can my lord understand that we women don't accept our fate and are at the mercy of others." Shi smirked, his eyes full of hatred.
"So you pulled more women into the water?"
"It doesn't matter how trivial it is to make a big deal! You don't even understand this little truth?" Shi gritted her teeth and asked Jia Amnesty.
Seeing her hideous look, Jia Amnesty couldn't control her emotions.Guessing that this woman came in the opposite direction, the more you ask her, the more she will be unwilling to talk, and it is useless to talk more, so she asked someone to hold Shi down.
But Shi Shi refused to let go, shaking his arms, and while struggling, he smiled at Jia She, "Just say it, there is nothing to hide. I want all the rich and powerful in the capital to regret their seductiveness, and let them You know, you know, lust will not end well, and you will be punished!"
Jia She squinted and watched Shi Shi being dragged down.If it was just purely serving in Israel, it would not be as good as what Shi Shi said, and some of these girls have not broken their melons, such as the Dongping County King's side.Jia She still remembered that those gentlemen liked to keep these maidservants in their study rooms and serve them close to them, so that the things they entered would inevitably be knocked down by them.If Shi's words have other meanings, these men are likely to be drugged. Since no one has had an accident, it should be some kind of chronic drug.
Jia She then asked Liu Zhizhong to go to Wei Qingdong, he wanted to know how the men in those households who had raised 'little birds' were doing.
"But check all the entrance and close-fitting things that the girls can touch. They are kept in captivity in the house on weekdays. If they have something on hand, they should have brought it in early in the morning and hid it in their own residence. So, you must carefully search the place where you live, and don't let go of the underground beams."
Wei Qingdong agreed, so he took people there.
In the afternoon, Jia Amnesty received a report from Wei Qingdong.
Wei Qingdong: "Those girls did carry a pack of medicine powder with them. They carried it in their purses when they came out of the house. It is said that the nurse in the house told them that if they regularly use this medicine powder on men, they will Men have always been fascinated by them and love them forever. When they serve the masters and gentlemen, they will use their nails to draw a little bit of medicinal powder and put it into tea every ten or eight days."
"What the hell are these medicinal powders?"
"Xiyangside, taken for three to five years for a long time, can make men premature ejaculate and impotence." Wei Qingdong said.
Jia Amnesty agreed, knowing what he knew, so he didn't say anything in advance, and smiled and asked Wei Qingdong to stay for dinner.
"It just so happens that your daughter-in-law is also coming back today, so you two will go back together."
Wei Qingdong agreed with a smile.
Jia Amnesty asked someone to hold a banquet in Rongxi Hall, and invited Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and other juniors to join in the fun.Jia's mother also asked someone to bring some dishes over, for fear that his grandson-in-law would not eat them well.
Before dusk, Jia Amnesty sent Wei Qingdong away, and Yingchun smiled and pulled Jia Cong to pay her respects.
Seeing that Yingchun is happier than usual today, Jia Amnesty asks her why.
Yingchun laughed and said: "Father, have you forgotten that when Uncle Song gave me the piano last time, I said that if my sister saw my Wuhua piano, she would definitely envy her. When I saw it today, she really couldn't put it down. It’s a pity that my piano skills are not as good as that of the elder sister. The elder sister plays the music on that piano, it’s really melodious, and it can attract the phoenix. I have looked out of the window several times.”
"Did you see the Phoenix?" Jia She asked.
"It must be because there are many clouds in the sky. The phoenix came down and was blocked by the clouds, so I didn't see it." Yingchun argued.
Jia Amnesty couldn't help laughing at the child's innocence, and waved her hand, asking her to go back and continue learning the piano to recruit Phoenix.
Yingchun refused to leave, and from time to time she glanced at Jia She meaningfully.
"doing what?"
"Father, aren't you jealous that Uncle Song gave me such a good piano?" Yingchun asked tentatively.
"Why are you jealous? He gave you good things. Naturally, I have a heart of taking advantage. I'm too late to be happy." Jia She sighed.
Yingchun pouted slightly, "Daughter didn't mean that, she meant——ah, forget it."
Jia She laughed again, "Do you think that I will give you some good things because I will taste the things he gave you, let's try it out?"
Yingchun was stunned for a moment, then blushed and lowered her head, unexpectedly, her father could see through her little thoughts in one go.
"Then...then why didn't father send it?" Yingchun asked shyly.
"Wouldn't it be boring if I know what you're thinking and I'll send it off again."
Yingchun immediately lost face, "I was immature and thoughtful, and my father saw through it at a glance. My daughter is unfilial, and I will apologize to you!"
Jia She raised his eyebrows and gave Dongsun a look, Dongsun turned back and went to the back room, then took out a boxy mahogany box and handed it to the chess player next to Yingchun.
"Your father is nothing, not as good as Mr. Song, so I can only give you some vulgar things. If you don't like it, you can take it away. If you don't like it, just return it. I can give it to others." Jia She said.
Yingchun smiled, and was busy thanking her, then opened the box to see that there was a very delicate set of jewelry inside, from rings to bracelets, earrings, and hairpins.After counting, there were 32 pieces in total.The headdress is decorated with pearls, emerald jade, coral, agate... the patterns are complicated and extravagant, but it is not tacky at all. If you just pick one and insert it on the head, it will definitely attract the attention of girls of the same age.
Yingchun was very happy to thank Jia She again, "It turns out that my father has already prepared it, but it is because my father loves me!"
"Besides being grateful to Uncle Song, you can think about being a father a little bit, and being a father will be enough." Jia She sighed.
Yingchun hurriedly said that she didn't dare, she rolled her eyes cleverly, and said to Jia She: "Daughter has always been very clear in her heart, Uncle Song is an outsider, and the father who gave birth to me and raised me is the best."
"You only said these sweet words after taking my things. Do you think I'll believe you? Go, don't bother me here." Jia She smiled and sent Yingchun to go back to rest early, so as not to delay the next day's class.
Yingchun agreed and left happily.
Jia Amnesty hugged Jia Cong for a while, asked him about his recent studies, and told the women around Jia Cong to take good care of him.The women are busy agreeing.
It happened that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng also came to Dingxing. After seeing the ceremony, Jia Cong jumped out of Jia She's arms, ran to Jia Lian's side, stuck to him and asked him for a gift.
Jia Amnesty looked at them.
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Second Master introspected himself a few days ago, saying that he neglected his third brother, so whenever he comes back from outside these days, he must bring some small things and ask someone to bring them to the third brother. This time it is probably Remember, come to ask for something again!"
"It's hard for you to be considerate, so brothers and sisters are so respectful, it seems like a decent family." Jia She sighed, and reminded Jia Lian to remember to ask the doctor to give Wang Xifeng a pulse on a regular basis.
"You don't need to worry about the family affairs, so just leave it alone and let Ping'er take care of it. Let the second girl watch over it for you. No matter how important it is, there will be your husband. Don't overwork yourself , instead of delaying your own important matters. It doesn’t matter whether you have a male or female child, the important thing is that adults and children can be safe and sound, and the days to come will be long.” Ever since Wang Xifeng became pregnant, Jia Amnesty has never made a serious statement, but now I heard that Wang Xifeng A little nervous, Jia Amnesty naturally wanted to give special instructions.
Wang Xifeng was greatly relieved when he heard the Elder Master said that it is okay to have a boy or a girl.When she was not pregnant with a child, the master had forced her to have a child. She thought that the master... It was just her overthinking. At that time, the master must have been angry at her for being a lackey of the second room, so he said such words and let her go. She takes good care of her little home.
With gratitude in her heart, Wang Xifeng hurriedly thanked Jia Amnesty, expressing that she would definitely live up to her expectations.Just as the master said, in the days to come, she will put her first priority on keeping her body healthy.
After Jia Amnesty finished worrying about these family matters, he held a cup and drank tea in the quiet night outside the window, while going over the case in his mind.
The matter of Shan Guogong is only a step away from Cao Lan.The key lies in Cao Lan's mouth. If he changes his mouth and admits that he is willing to marry Duke Shan's "adopted daughter", then Duke Shan is at most a misdemeanor of helping Shi's matchmaking.It is enough to be demoted or fined, and the punishment will not be too severe.The key is why Cao Lan catered to him and admitted this kind of thing?Or is Shan Guogong just trying to delay time?
There is little possibility of delaying time, Duke Shan Guo has lived a long time, and has been in the aristocratic circle of the capital for decades, so he must be a cunning rabbit.So behind his move, there should be another way to deal with it.
After Jia Amnesty figured this out, he immediately ordered Zhu Mao to send a message, don't take too close a look at Shan Guogong's mansion, and pretend to guard the front and back doors, leaving some holes in the surrounding walls.
The ghost third-class secret guard followed Jia She's instructions and quietly guarded the mansion of Shanguo at night.
Cao Lan's hometown is about seven or eight days away from the capital. During this period, Jia Amnesty will have to wait.He wanted to see what Cao Lan would say after the people from the government office invited Cao Lan back.
"I heard that the trial of the Cao family's case is over?" Song Xi asked after seeing Jia Amnesty.
"It's not over yet." Jia She paused for a moment, then glanced at Song Xi, "You are the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture. This is the case you should be in charge of. Why did you come to ask me?"
"I don't know as well as you do. I think you will snatch the post of governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture sooner or later." Song Xi leaned against the table, looking down at Jia She who was sitting behind the desk with a smile.
Jia Amnesty nodded, thinking that as governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture, he would be at least a little more responsible than Song Xi.
Song patted Jia She on the shoulder and sighed, "Don't worry, your wish will come true in a short time."
Jia Amnesty thought Song Xi was joking and didn't take it seriously.Unexpectedly, when he turned his head and was summoned by the emperor, the emperor suddenly opened his mouth and granted him the title of Zhongyonghou, and let him concurrently serve as the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture.
With a seal of grace, he beat gongs and drums to inform the whole capital.Jia's mother and others also got the news, and before Jia Amnesty came back, they set off firecrackers at home to congratulate first.
After Jia Amnesty thanked the emperor, he came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, grabbed Song Xi, and asked if it was his intention.
"You think highly of me, how can I influence the emperor's thoughts." Song Xi said.
Jia Amnesty let go of his hand and sighed, "I don't think you should be so stupid." He was afraid that Song Xi had facilitated this matter, and he would arouse the emperor's fear later.
"When the locust plague in the Northwest broke out, the emperor saw that your decision was correct, so he naturally valued you more. He intended to make you a Marquis, but he was considering it because I got you involved, and he didn't make an order for a long time. It's also thanks to your play last time that made him feel that you would rather abandon me, and handle the case with a fair heart and according to the facts. Naturally, he can't wait to win over a talent like you, which is hard to find in a lifetime, and he will reward you more." Song Xi explained.
Jia Amnesty: "It turns out that's the case, but it's wrong."
Song Xi looked at Jia She's expression, but didn't see how happy he was: "Being promoted and getting rich is one of the three joys in life, why don't you see that you are happy?"
"The burden on your shoulders has become heavier, will you be happy?" Jia She asked back.
Song Xi smiled, "It doesn't matter to me, I can handle any burden. But you, don't tire yourself out, or I will be the one who suffers later."
Just as Jia Amnesty wanted to ask Song Xi what he meant by this, he immediately realized from Song Xi's dissatisfied eyes that he was worried that his life would not be satisfactory.Jia She was too lazy to talk to him, waved to him, and went to Gyeonggi Province to take office for the first time.
"I'm already familiar with the road, so what's the fuss. If it's not about the new official taking office, then I have to go too. The old official needs to hand over to the new official."
"What's the point of you going? In Gyeonggi Prefecture, you spend three days fishing and two days drying nets. Most of the things are handled by Liu Zhizhong. You are just a name at most. I really don't understand. How did you do that?" I don't think you've ever cared about taking such a job."
"It doesn't matter if you don't care, after listening to your words at this moment, you must be sad. I didn't expect that you would comment on your ex like this." Song Xi sighed pretending to be sad.
Jia Amnesty was amused by Song Xi's "predecessor", and asked Song Xi seriously, "Why did you become governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture?"
"I don't need to confess this matter, you know it in your heart. But since you want to hear it, I can tell you loudly, for your sake." Song Xi poked Jia Amnesty's chest with his slender index finger. You, you have worked so hard to be your husband. Even for my original intention, you can't let me down."
"You tried your best to get close to me, and I still want to thank you. Is your brain broken?" Jia She deliberately stared at Song Xi's head.
"It's not broken, but if it's broken, why would he fall in love with you." Song Xi approached Jia She, and pressed his body against him.
Jia She still remembered Song Xi's excessive behavior towards him last time in the palace, so he hurriedly avoided it.He was also afraid that Song Xi would be bolder because of his evasive action, so he took Song Xi's hand instead, gave him a little sweetness, and then reminded him to pay attention to the influence.
Sure enough, Song Xi settled down a lot, and he was willing to be led away by Jia Amnesty.The two then drove to Gyeonggi Province.
Now that Liu Zhizhong knew that Jia Amnesty was the new governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture, he brought everyone from Gyeonggi Prefecture to welcome the new governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture.
Jia She told everyone not to be polite, "I have been in and out of Gyeonggi Prefecture frequently for more than half a year, and we are all old acquaintances. In the future, we can do whatever Gyeonggi Prefecture should do, just follow the precedent."
After Jia Amnesty finished his brief explanation, he asked Liu Zhizhong if there were any unsolved old cases in Gyeonggi Prefecture, especially major cases.
Liu Zhizhong thought for a while, "There have been no major cases in recent years, but there was a strange case ten years ago, in which many people died. Since there were no suspects, they were all treated as suicide. At that time, the subordinate officials were in Gyeonggi Province I was just a clerical worker, so I was particularly impressed.”
Jia Amnesty nodded, and asked Liu Zhizhong to prepare the files of this case, as well as all the unresolved files of Gyeonggi Prefecture in the past 20 years, and put them in the room where he worked.
Song Xi looked at Jia Amnesty in surprise.Apparently he felt that if Jia She had to deal with so many chores and official duties, it would take a lot of energy, which would naturally affect their night life.Song Xi was very dissatisfied, sat down dissatisfied, took a sip of tea, and then put down the teacup.
Seeing this, Liu Zhizhong hurriedly asked someone to make another cup for Mr. Song.
After the freshly brewed tea was served, Song Xi disliked it again.
Liu Zhizhong looked embarrassed, so he simply asked someone to brew all the tea leaves from Gyeonggi Province, and let Song Da to choose one by one.
"Don't worry about it, we in Gyeonggi Prefecture should treat guests with a little bit of courtesy, there is no need to be so obsequious." Jia She said 'we', and directly threw Song Xi out as a guest.
Song Xi lost his temper when he heard this, waved his hand, and sent Liu Zhizhong down.
"Say it in advance, you are here with me tonight, in order to celebrate your favor and promotion."
"I have to go back and explain to the old lady."
"It's easy, I'll go back to Rong Mansion with you."
Seeing Song Xi's sincere expression, Jia Amnesty smiled and nodded, "Okay."
When the two came out of Gyeonggi Prefecture, by coincidence, they met Zhang Youyun passing by Gyeonggi Prefecture on a tall horse.Zhang Youyun turned his head inadvertently, saw Jia Amnesty, jumped off his horse, and hastily greeted the two adults.
Jia She felt that Zhang Youyun was particularly energetic and handsome today, not only because he was riding a tall horse.Jia Amnesty took a special look at Zhang Youyun's clothes today. He was wearing an azure-colored halo-brocade gown with a crow-blue tiger-striped belt around his waist, which complemented his figure perfectly.Jia Amnesty looked at Zhang Youyun's face again today, with a white jade crown on his head, a gentle smile on his mouth, a pair of handsome eyes full of flair, his words and deeds were more chic and elegant than when the two of them met last time.
Song Xi narrowed his eyes to look at this person, and then asked Jia She: "Is this Zhang Youyun?"
"It's him, he is a warm-hearted young man, not only gentle, but also talented, which is very rare." Jia She praised without hesitation.
Song Xi smiled, it turned out to be the case.After sighing, Song Xi's expression remained calm, and he didn't take a second look at Zhang Youyun.In a moment, he bowed his hands and bid farewell to Jia She, making excuses and still having matters to deal with.Jia Amnesty nodded, and after watching Song Xi go, he looked at Zhang Youyun.
Zhang Youyun stretched his neck and looked at the direction where Song Xi's carriage disappeared.Suddenly he found Jia She was looking at him, he scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled, and he couldn't help sighing: "It's no wonder that everyone in the world says that Mr. Song is the most beautiful man in the capital, but if you take a look at him today, he is really extraordinary, very special." I am comparable to mortals."
After Zhang Youyun finished speaking, he took a look at Jia She, and saw that Jia She responded to him with a light smile, so he continued to talk.
"He looks like a fairy, and he is so talented and learned, and his family background is the highest among the high families of the Song family. It may be offensive to say this, but the younger generation really wants to sigh, God really loves Song so much." My lord, tell me to wait until I'm so worthless that I can't even envy you."
Hearing Zhang Youyun's words, Jia Amnesty recalled the first few times he had met Song Xi, and he had sighed similarly.If he didn't know what Zhang Youyun was thinking, based on these sympathies, Jia She would probably really have a good chat with him.
Therefore, this piece of You Yun does have its strengths, this guy's temperament is like spring rain in March, moistening things silently.In the process of interacting with him, people will be attracted by his temperament without knowing it, and become one with him.
"Oh, look at my head, I forgot the important thing!" Zhang Youyun hurriedly bowed to Jia She, congratulating Jia She on being honored as a loyal and brave Marquis, "Now people in the capital are talking about this matter, saying that your lord has received this grace, It’s what everyone expects and deserves.”
"Thank you very much." Jia Amnesty glanced at the horse Zhang Youyun was riding, then asked him, "Where are you going?"
"Help my elder brother get the bill. After returning from my travels, I have nothing to do, so I can help my elder brother at home."
"Since I have to bother you to ask for the bill, it can be seen that the person who owed money was unwilling to pay it at first. But if you go, it will save face, so they will pay it?"
Zhang Youyun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted Jia She with admiration, "My lord has a fortune, they really don't want to give it. But I have a trick here, which forced them to give it."
Among the girls trained, the ones with the best qualifications will be "lucky" to be the concubines and maidservants of wealthy families, while those girls who are not selected will be sold into a romantic place, where they will be ravaged.Even the former, the final fate may not be so good, they may still enjoy the riches and honor before their color fades, and when they get old, they lose favor and end up being killed by the wife or forced to throw themselves into the well. .
A total of 52 girls were rescued from the house this time, the oldest being 13 years old and the youngest being six years old.As for the placement of these girls in the future, it is very debatable.
Liu Zhizhong, the Prime Minister of Gyeonggi Province, is currently the person who is most worried about this matter.Now all the vacant rooms in Gyeonggi Mansion are used to accommodate these girls, but they are still very crowded, some of them cannot fit in, and the whole yard is noisy, it is really noisy.And the most terrible point is that those eleven or twelve-year-old girls who are older, have only lived in Gyeonggi Prefecture for a day, and they have already flirted with the government servants in the government office, and they have the intention of colluding with each other.
Whenever Liu Zhizhong passed by where these girls lived, he would immediately be besieged by these Yingyingyanyans.If it was just a woman shouting softly by his side, Liu Zhizhong might be lustful and moved.But now this is a group of people gathered around, listening to them calling Mrs. Liu in coquettish voices one after another, Liu Zhizhong only felt the magic sound ringing in his ears, and the goosebumps all over his body could fall twice, he really wanted to vomit.
After Liu Zhizhong escaped, he hurriedly complained to Song Xi, begging their lords to solve this trouble as soon as possible.
Song Xi didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, so he sent Liu Zhizhong to find Jia Amnesty.
After hearing Liu Zhizhong's report, Jia Amnesty felt that this matter should be resolved as soon as possible.He wandered around the house with his hands behind his back, and then said immediately: "Since these girls all have contracts of sale, call the parents of these girls and take them back. If you can't find them or the road is too far, Give me another list."
Liu Zhizhong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and saluted Jia Amnesty deeply, almost kneeling down to thank him for his 'life-saving grace'.
Jia Amnesty then asked Zhu Mao to take the money to buy two remote houses, as long as there are enough rooms to accommodate people.
"A house on the East Street has been vacant for several years. The price is cheap, and it meets the requirements of the master. It is said that it has been haunted by ghosts."
"It's good to be haunted, just let the evil spirit on those ghosts kill the evil spirit on those girls." Liu Zhizhong was very grateful when he heard that Jia Amnesty had helped him solve the resettlement problem for the past few days, and naturally he didn't dislike anything. .
Jia Amnesty nodded and asked Zhu Mao to quickly buy the house with money.
The owner of the ghost house was naturally happy when he heard that it could be sold, and the contract was completed on the same day.After Zhu Mao asked someone to prepare dozens of sets of quilts, he informed Liu Zhizhong.Those Yingying Yanyans in Gyeonggi Prefecture were taken to this house to live temporarily.All the staff in the house are women, and four women are added to guard the front and back doors respectively.Outside the house, it will be guarded by yamen, so that the trouble of those girls seducing men will be avoided.
"I'm afraid that after these girls are sent home, they will still be dishonest." Jia She sighed, "Especially those who are older and have a fixed mind. If no one has the patience to watch and teach, just I'm afraid I can't change it."
"You can't help with this kind of thing for the rest of your life, so let it be. At least you saved them and gave them a chance to choose a new life. As for how they want to live in the future, that's their own business and has nothing to do with you." Song Xi Persuade.
Jia Amnesty glanced at Song Xi, circled the edge of the tea cover with his index finger, and kept thinking of ideas.Those girls who couldn't find a home, he couldn't just let them go.Looking back, I would get some money to send them away, but it might not end well. After all, the girl’s family is alone, helpless, and it’s hard to live.
"I heard that these girls were taught not only to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also to manage accounts. If they want to, they can find a matchmaker and match them up. There should be only a few of them without a home, at most a dozen or so, in the capital city There are so many adults, but it is easy to find a home." Song Xi suggested.
Jia She smiled: "Your two words are useful."
"Which of my words is useless? It's someone who is blessed. After hearing too much, he doesn't cherish it." Song Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Jia Amnesty put one hand on Song Xi's shoulder, and looked sideways at him, "Let me see, is there someone who has a problem?"
"Have an opinion on Mr. Jia? Song doesn't dare." Song Xi pretended to be petty, and gave Jia Amnesty a hand.
Jia Amnesty reached out and hooked Song Xi's chin, and brought his lips very close, only one finger away from Song Xi's mouth, "Little scholar, my lord sees that you are pretty, from now on you will follow my lord, and be with me." My lord, be happy every day, and I will guarantee you meat every day."
"I can't wait." Song Xi lowered his eyes, and his slender eyelashes hit Jia She's forehead, sweeping gently, making Jia She feel a little itchy.
Jia Amnesty slowly moved to Song Xi's mouth, and kissed his lips lightly. As soon as they touched, the two sides separated, and then they felt that it was not enough.The two of them tacitly kissed each other even more, and they rubbed each other lingeringly, without being separated for a long time.
The people in the capital are very concerned about the case of the Cao family.Shi Shi was the first to be tried, and it was the old lady beside her who told her true identity in detail, but Shi Shi still refused to confess that she was not the daughter of Shan Guogong.
Shan Guogong was then summoned to come. Seeing that Shi Shi refused to admit it, he also insisted that Shi Shi was his daughter. He insisted that Gyeonggi Prefecture tortured and forced the nanny to give false testimony. Da Tian listened, let the emperor make a decision, and return the innocence of him and his daughter.
After Liu Zhizhong took a look at the gavel, he said solemnly: "It's ridiculous, I have no grievances or enmities with you in the capital city, why did you let that nanny give false testimony to frame you. Don't jump over the wall and bite people in a hurry Gong Gong, open your old eyes and see, now is not the time for Shi Shi to guarantee your innocence. Cao Ban and Cao Qingming, have you forgotten, they also confessed that you participated in it and helped The Shi family is selling 'Little Birds' among the dignitaries in the capital."
Duke Shan Guo shook his body when he heard this, his face was pale.He glanced at Shi Shi, frowned, and pointed at her with trembling fingers.
Shi Shi turned his head to look at Shan Guogong indifferently, and sneered: "What do you mean by looking at me like that? When I Zhang Luo was raising little birds outside Beijing, you also agreed with yourself. Impersonating your dead daughter, It was your own decision to let me marry Cao Lan. Now that something happened, it would be your bad luck, so don't blame me."
"You bloody whore, what are you doing, Hu Qin!" Lord Shan Guo said angrily.
"I expected today to be here, but it's straightforward. Now that things are up to now, I don't need to pretend. Anyway, I think it's a beautiful maid raised by Duke Shu. This old man was in his 40s and he was not doing well. You have to raise a group of little girls who are naked to serve him, babbling for him, and boasting that his thing is so hard that it can lift the sky. In fact, it is as soft as an earthworm, and you can't get it in even if you grab it." Shi Yue said , the sneer at the corner of his mouth grew louder.
This is the opening of the public trial, and there are many onlookers outside the hall. Hearing this blatant words, they can't help but sigh in unison.
Duke Shu was ashamed and his lips trembled. Hearing the noise and ridicule of the crowd, his body trembled, and he finally stood still.Duke Shanguo turned around and glared at Shi Shi angrily, "You little bastard, don't spread rumors! I really regret why I didn't kill you back then!"
Shan Guogong is old, but he is very impulsive when he is angry, and he is about to rush up and pinch Shi Shi.The yamen servants hurriedly stopped Shan Guogong, who realized that his actions would damage his status as a nobleman.Then he calmed down, tidied up his clothes, and stood still again.
"Master Liu, what this little hoof says is all slander, and the matter of raising birds is all the idea of this bitch, and has nothing to do with me. As for the identity, it is true that I saw that she looked like me when I died. But I did not hide this matter from the Cao family, Cao Lan knew about it, and married her willingly." Shan Guogong said loudly.
When the onlookers heard this, they were in an uproar.Everyone knew Cao Lan's status back then. He was the eldest son of a respectable scholarly Shilu family, and he was young and promising.It is ridiculous that such an honorable person would be willing to marry a maidservant from a humble background.
Even the common people who were watching didn't believe it, let alone Liu Zhizhong.But this matter needs to be confirmed by Cao Lan, so he temporarily withdraws from the court, and Shan Guogong is temporarily asked to return to the mansion to wait for orders.During this period of time, there will naturally be guards from the yamen, and no one from Shan Guogong is allowed to go out to deliver letters without authorization.
As for Shi Shi, Jia Amnesty still had details to interrogate, so he met her in the side hall.
Seeing Jia She with a numb face, Shi Shi didn't show any fear, probably because he had seen through the consequences of his own death, so he didn't have any fear.
"That day when you knelt in front of the Rong Mansion and pleaded for your husband, didn't you mean it from the bottom of your heart?"
"Hahaha..." Shi Shi suddenly laughed, and then looked up at Jia She, "Sincerely? How can there be a man in this world who will sincerely treat a woman for the rest of his life. But it's just some newcomers who forget the old ones, eating from a bowl It's just the dirty things in the pot."
"How do you talk!" Zhu Mao was dissatisfied with Shi's words, which discredited all the men.
Jia Amnesty signaled Zhu Mao to shut up, "It's fine."
Shi Shi glanced at Jia She in surprise, "My lord looks different at first glance, but you can't fool me, I've heard it before, you are also a very lecherous old dude, my lord. I don't wrong you by saying this. "
"I don't mind what you think." Jia She said calmly, and then asked Shi Shi, since he didn't like Cao Lan, why he went to such lengths to ask for help that day.
"A play, show it to Cao Ban, let him know that I really want to find a way out for his son. Besides, I have to show it to Cao Lan. If I show my loyalty like this, he will definitely take pity on me, a poor wife. I will say nothing later. He is also easy to listen to me." What Shi said was almost the same as Jia She's inference at the beginning.
Jia Amnesty stared into Shi Shi's eyes, and asked her, "What do you want him to listen to you?"
Shi shivered, and laughed again, "So the lord wanted to ask me this. I can tell the lord, but what good will it do me?"
Jia Amnesty looked at Shi's face and said with a smile, "The one in the palace has the word 'virtuous'."
Shi's eyes widened slightly, then he lowered his head, concealed his expression, and said calmly, "Don't lie to me, my lord, I won't fall for it."
"It's up to you." Jia She has already found a definite answer from Shi's expression, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Shi, "You don't have a child left behind, so you can't be a wife in the deep house, so desperately Do these things, what are you trying to do, that little money?"
"How can my lord understand that we women don't accept our fate and are at the mercy of others." Shi smirked, his eyes full of hatred.
"So you pulled more women into the water?"
"It doesn't matter how trivial it is to make a big deal! You don't even understand this little truth?" Shi gritted her teeth and asked Jia Amnesty.
Seeing her hideous look, Jia Amnesty couldn't control her emotions.Guessing that this woman came in the opposite direction, the more you ask her, the more she will be unwilling to talk, and it is useless to talk more, so she asked someone to hold Shi down.
But Shi Shi refused to let go, shaking his arms, and while struggling, he smiled at Jia She, "Just say it, there is nothing to hide. I want all the rich and powerful in the capital to regret their seductiveness, and let them You know, you know, lust will not end well, and you will be punished!"
Jia She squinted and watched Shi Shi being dragged down.If it was just purely serving in Israel, it would not be as good as what Shi Shi said, and some of these girls have not broken their melons, such as the Dongping County King's side.Jia She still remembered that those gentlemen liked to keep these maidservants in their study rooms and serve them close to them, so that the things they entered would inevitably be knocked down by them.If Shi's words have other meanings, these men are likely to be drugged. Since no one has had an accident, it should be some kind of chronic drug.
Jia She then asked Liu Zhizhong to go to Wei Qingdong, he wanted to know how the men in those households who had raised 'little birds' were doing.
"But check all the entrance and close-fitting things that the girls can touch. They are kept in captivity in the house on weekdays. If they have something on hand, they should have brought it in early in the morning and hid it in their own residence. So, you must carefully search the place where you live, and don't let go of the underground beams."
Wei Qingdong agreed, so he took people there.
In the afternoon, Jia Amnesty received a report from Wei Qingdong.
Wei Qingdong: "Those girls did carry a pack of medicine powder with them. They carried it in their purses when they came out of the house. It is said that the nurse in the house told them that if they regularly use this medicine powder on men, they will Men have always been fascinated by them and love them forever. When they serve the masters and gentlemen, they will use their nails to draw a little bit of medicinal powder and put it into tea every ten or eight days."
"What the hell are these medicinal powders?"
"Xiyangside, taken for three to five years for a long time, can make men premature ejaculate and impotence." Wei Qingdong said.
Jia Amnesty agreed, knowing what he knew, so he didn't say anything in advance, and smiled and asked Wei Qingdong to stay for dinner.
"It just so happens that your daughter-in-law is also coming back today, so you two will go back together."
Wei Qingdong agreed with a smile.
Jia Amnesty asked someone to hold a banquet in Rongxi Hall, and invited Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and other juniors to join in the fun.Jia's mother also asked someone to bring some dishes over, for fear that his grandson-in-law would not eat them well.
Before dusk, Jia Amnesty sent Wei Qingdong away, and Yingchun smiled and pulled Jia Cong to pay her respects.
Seeing that Yingchun is happier than usual today, Jia Amnesty asks her why.
Yingchun laughed and said: "Father, have you forgotten that when Uncle Song gave me the piano last time, I said that if my sister saw my Wuhua piano, she would definitely envy her. When I saw it today, she really couldn't put it down. It’s a pity that my piano skills are not as good as that of the elder sister. The elder sister plays the music on that piano, it’s really melodious, and it can attract the phoenix. I have looked out of the window several times.”
"Did you see the Phoenix?" Jia She asked.
"It must be because there are many clouds in the sky. The phoenix came down and was blocked by the clouds, so I didn't see it." Yingchun argued.
Jia Amnesty couldn't help laughing at the child's innocence, and waved her hand, asking her to go back and continue learning the piano to recruit Phoenix.
Yingchun refused to leave, and from time to time she glanced at Jia She meaningfully.
"doing what?"
"Father, aren't you jealous that Uncle Song gave me such a good piano?" Yingchun asked tentatively.
"Why are you jealous? He gave you good things. Naturally, I have a heart of taking advantage. I'm too late to be happy." Jia She sighed.
Yingchun pouted slightly, "Daughter didn't mean that, she meant——ah, forget it."
Jia She laughed again, "Do you think that I will give you some good things because I will taste the things he gave you, let's try it out?"
Yingchun was stunned for a moment, then blushed and lowered her head, unexpectedly, her father could see through her little thoughts in one go.
"Then...then why didn't father send it?" Yingchun asked shyly.
"Wouldn't it be boring if I know what you're thinking and I'll send it off again."
Yingchun immediately lost face, "I was immature and thoughtful, and my father saw through it at a glance. My daughter is unfilial, and I will apologize to you!"
Jia She raised his eyebrows and gave Dongsun a look, Dongsun turned back and went to the back room, then took out a boxy mahogany box and handed it to the chess player next to Yingchun.
"Your father is nothing, not as good as Mr. Song, so I can only give you some vulgar things. If you don't like it, you can take it away. If you don't like it, just return it. I can give it to others." Jia She said.
Yingchun smiled, and was busy thanking her, then opened the box to see that there was a very delicate set of jewelry inside, from rings to bracelets, earrings, and hairpins.After counting, there were 32 pieces in total.The headdress is decorated with pearls, emerald jade, coral, agate... the patterns are complicated and extravagant, but it is not tacky at all. If you just pick one and insert it on the head, it will definitely attract the attention of girls of the same age.
Yingchun was very happy to thank Jia She again, "It turns out that my father has already prepared it, but it is because my father loves me!"
"Besides being grateful to Uncle Song, you can think about being a father a little bit, and being a father will be enough." Jia She sighed.
Yingchun hurriedly said that she didn't dare, she rolled her eyes cleverly, and said to Jia She: "Daughter has always been very clear in her heart, Uncle Song is an outsider, and the father who gave birth to me and raised me is the best."
"You only said these sweet words after taking my things. Do you think I'll believe you? Go, don't bother me here." Jia She smiled and sent Yingchun to go back to rest early, so as not to delay the next day's class.
Yingchun agreed and left happily.
Jia Amnesty hugged Jia Cong for a while, asked him about his recent studies, and told the women around Jia Cong to take good care of him.The women are busy agreeing.
It happened that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng also came to Dingxing. After seeing the ceremony, Jia Cong jumped out of Jia She's arms, ran to Jia Lian's side, stuck to him and asked him for a gift.
Jia Amnesty looked at them.
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Second Master introspected himself a few days ago, saying that he neglected his third brother, so whenever he comes back from outside these days, he must bring some small things and ask someone to bring them to the third brother. This time it is probably Remember, come to ask for something again!"
"It's hard for you to be considerate, so brothers and sisters are so respectful, it seems like a decent family." Jia She sighed, and reminded Jia Lian to remember to ask the doctor to give Wang Xifeng a pulse on a regular basis.
"You don't need to worry about the family affairs, so just leave it alone and let Ping'er take care of it. Let the second girl watch over it for you. No matter how important it is, there will be your husband. Don't overwork yourself , instead of delaying your own important matters. It doesn’t matter whether you have a male or female child, the important thing is that adults and children can be safe and sound, and the days to come will be long.” Ever since Wang Xifeng became pregnant, Jia Amnesty has never made a serious statement, but now I heard that Wang Xifeng A little nervous, Jia Amnesty naturally wanted to give special instructions.
Wang Xifeng was greatly relieved when he heard the Elder Master said that it is okay to have a boy or a girl.When she was not pregnant with a child, the master had forced her to have a child. She thought that the master... It was just her overthinking. At that time, the master must have been angry at her for being a lackey of the second room, so he said such words and let her go. She takes good care of her little home.
With gratitude in her heart, Wang Xifeng hurriedly thanked Jia Amnesty, expressing that she would definitely live up to her expectations.Just as the master said, in the days to come, she will put her first priority on keeping her body healthy.
After Jia Amnesty finished worrying about these family matters, he held a cup and drank tea in the quiet night outside the window, while going over the case in his mind.
The matter of Shan Guogong is only a step away from Cao Lan.The key lies in Cao Lan's mouth. If he changes his mouth and admits that he is willing to marry Duke Shan's "adopted daughter", then Duke Shan is at most a misdemeanor of helping Shi's matchmaking.It is enough to be demoted or fined, and the punishment will not be too severe.The key is why Cao Lan catered to him and admitted this kind of thing?Or is Shan Guogong just trying to delay time?
There is little possibility of delaying time, Duke Shan Guo has lived a long time, and has been in the aristocratic circle of the capital for decades, so he must be a cunning rabbit.So behind his move, there should be another way to deal with it.
After Jia Amnesty figured this out, he immediately ordered Zhu Mao to send a message, don't take too close a look at Shan Guogong's mansion, and pretend to guard the front and back doors, leaving some holes in the surrounding walls.
The ghost third-class secret guard followed Jia She's instructions and quietly guarded the mansion of Shanguo at night.
Cao Lan's hometown is about seven or eight days away from the capital. During this period, Jia Amnesty will have to wait.He wanted to see what Cao Lan would say after the people from the government office invited Cao Lan back.
"I heard that the trial of the Cao family's case is over?" Song Xi asked after seeing Jia Amnesty.
"It's not over yet." Jia She paused for a moment, then glanced at Song Xi, "You are the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture. This is the case you should be in charge of. Why did you come to ask me?"
"I don't know as well as you do. I think you will snatch the post of governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture sooner or later." Song Xi leaned against the table, looking down at Jia She who was sitting behind the desk with a smile.
Jia Amnesty nodded, thinking that as governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture, he would be at least a little more responsible than Song Xi.
Song patted Jia She on the shoulder and sighed, "Don't worry, your wish will come true in a short time."
Jia Amnesty thought Song Xi was joking and didn't take it seriously.Unexpectedly, when he turned his head and was summoned by the emperor, the emperor suddenly opened his mouth and granted him the title of Zhongyonghou, and let him concurrently serve as the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture.
With a seal of grace, he beat gongs and drums to inform the whole capital.Jia's mother and others also got the news, and before Jia Amnesty came back, they set off firecrackers at home to congratulate first.
After Jia Amnesty thanked the emperor, he came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, grabbed Song Xi, and asked if it was his intention.
"You think highly of me, how can I influence the emperor's thoughts." Song Xi said.
Jia Amnesty let go of his hand and sighed, "I don't think you should be so stupid." He was afraid that Song Xi had facilitated this matter, and he would arouse the emperor's fear later.
"When the locust plague in the Northwest broke out, the emperor saw that your decision was correct, so he naturally valued you more. He intended to make you a Marquis, but he was considering it because I got you involved, and he didn't make an order for a long time. It's also thanks to your play last time that made him feel that you would rather abandon me, and handle the case with a fair heart and according to the facts. Naturally, he can't wait to win over a talent like you, which is hard to find in a lifetime, and he will reward you more." Song Xi explained.
Jia Amnesty: "It turns out that's the case, but it's wrong."
Song Xi looked at Jia She's expression, but didn't see how happy he was: "Being promoted and getting rich is one of the three joys in life, why don't you see that you are happy?"
"The burden on your shoulders has become heavier, will you be happy?" Jia She asked back.
Song Xi smiled, "It doesn't matter to me, I can handle any burden. But you, don't tire yourself out, or I will be the one who suffers later."
Just as Jia Amnesty wanted to ask Song Xi what he meant by this, he immediately realized from Song Xi's dissatisfied eyes that he was worried that his life would not be satisfactory.Jia She was too lazy to talk to him, waved to him, and went to Gyeonggi Province to take office for the first time.
"I'm already familiar with the road, so what's the fuss. If it's not about the new official taking office, then I have to go too. The old official needs to hand over to the new official."
"What's the point of you going? In Gyeonggi Prefecture, you spend three days fishing and two days drying nets. Most of the things are handled by Liu Zhizhong. You are just a name at most. I really don't understand. How did you do that?" I don't think you've ever cared about taking such a job."
"It doesn't matter if you don't care, after listening to your words at this moment, you must be sad. I didn't expect that you would comment on your ex like this." Song Xi sighed pretending to be sad.
Jia Amnesty was amused by Song Xi's "predecessor", and asked Song Xi seriously, "Why did you become governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture?"
"I don't need to confess this matter, you know it in your heart. But since you want to hear it, I can tell you loudly, for your sake." Song Xi poked Jia Amnesty's chest with his slender index finger. You, you have worked so hard to be your husband. Even for my original intention, you can't let me down."
"You tried your best to get close to me, and I still want to thank you. Is your brain broken?" Jia She deliberately stared at Song Xi's head.
"It's not broken, but if it's broken, why would he fall in love with you." Song Xi approached Jia She, and pressed his body against him.
Jia She still remembered Song Xi's excessive behavior towards him last time in the palace, so he hurriedly avoided it.He was also afraid that Song Xi would be bolder because of his evasive action, so he took Song Xi's hand instead, gave him a little sweetness, and then reminded him to pay attention to the influence.
Sure enough, Song Xi settled down a lot, and he was willing to be led away by Jia Amnesty.The two then drove to Gyeonggi Province.
Now that Liu Zhizhong knew that Jia Amnesty was the new governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture, he brought everyone from Gyeonggi Prefecture to welcome the new governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture.
Jia She told everyone not to be polite, "I have been in and out of Gyeonggi Prefecture frequently for more than half a year, and we are all old acquaintances. In the future, we can do whatever Gyeonggi Prefecture should do, just follow the precedent."
After Jia Amnesty finished his brief explanation, he asked Liu Zhizhong if there were any unsolved old cases in Gyeonggi Prefecture, especially major cases.
Liu Zhizhong thought for a while, "There have been no major cases in recent years, but there was a strange case ten years ago, in which many people died. Since there were no suspects, they were all treated as suicide. At that time, the subordinate officials were in Gyeonggi Province I was just a clerical worker, so I was particularly impressed.”
Jia Amnesty nodded, and asked Liu Zhizhong to prepare the files of this case, as well as all the unresolved files of Gyeonggi Prefecture in the past 20 years, and put them in the room where he worked.
Song Xi looked at Jia Amnesty in surprise.Apparently he felt that if Jia She had to deal with so many chores and official duties, it would take a lot of energy, which would naturally affect their night life.Song Xi was very dissatisfied, sat down dissatisfied, took a sip of tea, and then put down the teacup.
Seeing this, Liu Zhizhong hurriedly asked someone to make another cup for Mr. Song.
After the freshly brewed tea was served, Song Xi disliked it again.
Liu Zhizhong looked embarrassed, so he simply asked someone to brew all the tea leaves from Gyeonggi Province, and let Song Da to choose one by one.
"Don't worry about it, we in Gyeonggi Prefecture should treat guests with a little bit of courtesy, there is no need to be so obsequious." Jia She said 'we', and directly threw Song Xi out as a guest.
Song Xi lost his temper when he heard this, waved his hand, and sent Liu Zhizhong down.
"Say it in advance, you are here with me tonight, in order to celebrate your favor and promotion."
"I have to go back and explain to the old lady."
"It's easy, I'll go back to Rong Mansion with you."
Seeing Song Xi's sincere expression, Jia Amnesty smiled and nodded, "Okay."
When the two came out of Gyeonggi Prefecture, by coincidence, they met Zhang Youyun passing by Gyeonggi Prefecture on a tall horse.Zhang Youyun turned his head inadvertently, saw Jia Amnesty, jumped off his horse, and hastily greeted the two adults.
Jia She felt that Zhang Youyun was particularly energetic and handsome today, not only because he was riding a tall horse.Jia Amnesty took a special look at Zhang Youyun's clothes today. He was wearing an azure-colored halo-brocade gown with a crow-blue tiger-striped belt around his waist, which complemented his figure perfectly.Jia Amnesty looked at Zhang Youyun's face again today, with a white jade crown on his head, a gentle smile on his mouth, a pair of handsome eyes full of flair, his words and deeds were more chic and elegant than when the two of them met last time.
Song Xi narrowed his eyes to look at this person, and then asked Jia She: "Is this Zhang Youyun?"
"It's him, he is a warm-hearted young man, not only gentle, but also talented, which is very rare." Jia She praised without hesitation.
Song Xi smiled, it turned out to be the case.After sighing, Song Xi's expression remained calm, and he didn't take a second look at Zhang Youyun.In a moment, he bowed his hands and bid farewell to Jia She, making excuses and still having matters to deal with.Jia Amnesty nodded, and after watching Song Xi go, he looked at Zhang Youyun.
Zhang Youyun stretched his neck and looked at the direction where Song Xi's carriage disappeared.Suddenly he found Jia She was looking at him, he scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled, and he couldn't help sighing: "It's no wonder that everyone in the world says that Mr. Song is the most beautiful man in the capital, but if you take a look at him today, he is really extraordinary, very special." I am comparable to mortals."
After Zhang Youyun finished speaking, he took a look at Jia She, and saw that Jia She responded to him with a light smile, so he continued to talk.
"He looks like a fairy, and he is so talented and learned, and his family background is the highest among the high families of the Song family. It may be offensive to say this, but the younger generation really wants to sigh, God really loves Song so much." My lord, tell me to wait until I'm so worthless that I can't even envy you."
Hearing Zhang Youyun's words, Jia Amnesty recalled the first few times he had met Song Xi, and he had sighed similarly.If he didn't know what Zhang Youyun was thinking, based on these sympathies, Jia She would probably really have a good chat with him.
Therefore, this piece of You Yun does have its strengths, this guy's temperament is like spring rain in March, moistening things silently.In the process of interacting with him, people will be attracted by his temperament without knowing it, and become one with him.
"Oh, look at my head, I forgot the important thing!" Zhang Youyun hurriedly bowed to Jia She, congratulating Jia She on being honored as a loyal and brave Marquis, "Now people in the capital are talking about this matter, saying that your lord has received this grace, It’s what everyone expects and deserves.”
"Thank you very much." Jia Amnesty glanced at the horse Zhang Youyun was riding, then asked him, "Where are you going?"
"Help my elder brother get the bill. After returning from my travels, I have nothing to do, so I can help my elder brother at home."
"Since I have to bother you to ask for the bill, it can be seen that the person who owed money was unwilling to pay it at first. But if you go, it will save face, so they will pay it?"
Zhang Youyun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted Jia She with admiration, "My lord has a fortune, they really don't want to give it. But I have a trick here, which forced them to give it."
