Even though the Crown Princess Jia has some thoughts of her own, until now, she dare not reveal the slightest bit.On this point, based on her intuition as a woman, she felt that Situ Yue was not so easy to fool.

Women's intuition is sometimes very accurate. They are natural observers, with a pair of penetrating eyes and a sensitive and delicate heart. With these, they can always discover many things that men can't. The Crown Princess, who has lived here for more than ten years, clearly feels that compared with the former emperor, the current emperor is harsher and cannot be provoked.

Except when she was newly married, Cheng Yue's doting on his concubine embarrassed her.Later, after Fuyuan was born, Chengyue and Jia Shi were regarded as a loving couple, and Jia Shi was willing to share his thoughts with her husband.

"When people from my natal family greeted me, I specifically asked what kind of pastimes the adults outside are enjoying."

"What else can it be? It's just drinking and reciting poems, the favorite of literati." There was a cup of tea in Fuyuan's hand, and he could touch it as soon as he raised his hand. He picked it up and took a few sips. Said, "I guess I would still like to go out for some fun. Now that it is autumn, there are red leaves everywhere. It is estimated that the adults who are not worth it should go."

The princess thought for a while, "Your Highness is wrong, no one wants to drink now, and no one wants to go to the mountains and rivers to watch the red leaves and write some poems."

Cheng Yue turned his head towards her, "Why?"

"Now His Majesty is streamlining officials... I am a woman, I shouldn't say these things. But now they are all walking on thin ice."

After hearing this, Cheng Yue really cared. "real?"

Cheng Yue stood up, and the eunuch hiding aside hurriedly stepped forward to support him.Cheng Yue said to the eunuch, "You go to the guards, and Gu changed his clothes and went to the city to ask someone."

"Why did you go to the city to inquire about this?" The princess couldn't expect such an ending, so she also hurriedly stood up.

"It's too late, it's too late. Brother Huang has always been strict. Now if the officials have two hearts, the society may be unstable."

Cheng Yue didn't know that there was a word called terror. Now that all officials have developed a heart of terror, they probably won't pay attention to state affairs. At that time, civil and military forces will join forces, and something will happen. The death of the emperor's brother is a major event, and it is critical. Jiangshan is also a big deal, and he can't bear these two things.He didn't even change his urgent clothes, and asked the eunuch to tie his belt while walking outside.

Even if there is no emperor in the capital, the people still live and work in peace and contentment. There are people selling their own fruits and vegetables in baskets everywhere on the streets, and the streets are full of people.Cheng Yue sat in the car, listening to the sounds outside, wondering how long this prosperity could last.

When they arrived at a tea house, the guards helped Cheng Yue get off the carriage and went upstairs to a secluded place. Cheng Yue didn't ask anyone, just sat there with a cup of tea, refreshments on the table, and waited quietly. with.

He had heard of this teahouse, it was a favorite place for literati, and many people who had no ambitions liked to gather here, two liang of wine and a cup of tea could kill an afternoon.

"If you want to talk about it, the king of Beijing Jing is kind. Even if it can't be done, he has made great efforts. Hey, time is not waiting for us. We were not born at a good time." A middle-aged man's voice was particularly loud. , Ever since his eyes went wrong, Cheng Yue's sense of hearing was exceptionally keen. He rubbed his cup, and then he continued to listen quietly.

"Yes, yes, I think that when the old emperor was in power, Enke was added, and the people waiting for officials in the capital could line up from the east gate to the west gate. Now, let alone the people waiting for officials, there are those who have been caught If the handle is taken down, the vacancy will be wiped out immediately. I heard that Wuhou, who used to patrol the streets, had a team of 30 people. A few days ago, the Shangguan suddenly ordered, and there were more than a dozen people in the first team. At that time, the intention of the palace was to seize the official status and demote to common people, but these people have left, should they find someone to fill the vacancy, no, now there are 12 people in the team, and no good family is selected to fill the vacancy."

"Tell me, everyone, what are we studying hard for decades? Isn't it just to honor our ancestors? Now, even this can't be done. Tell me, what's the use of our studies?"

"Yeah yeah."

"I've also heard that the King of Beijing is merciful. If he has the ability to ask him, he can get us into the yamen." The middle-aged man continued.

"Everyone, listen to me, it's not easy to mess around in the yamen. The neighbors and relatives next door to me used to work as clerks in the household department. There is a small test every three months, a big test every six months, and even a test at the end of the year. After the test, go on." Hey, go home and sell sweet potatoes." Seeing the appalling expression on the audience's face, the speaker became even more enthusiastic, "Everyone, think about it, now the Holy Master is from the Ministry of Finance, he I am the owner of sesame seed cakes and pickles in the lobby of the household for half a month. I am cruel to myself and even more cruel to others. I actually let my grandson win the first place... Ahem... I remembered, my wife asked me to go back early today, I have a visitor at home today... See you later See you guys."

Everyone began to shake their heads, feeling emotional, "What does our Holy Master say, he doesn't like women, he doesn't like dogs and horses, he doesn't like fancy clothes, but he likes to toss those officials. I don't know if it's luck or misfortune."

The middle-aged man from before said again, "What about the Holy Master, he is too far away from us, but now, it is a big deal for us to be able to glorify the lintel. If you are interested, go to the Northern King's Mansion in the future."

Having said all of this, it seemed extremely bright, and he bid farewell to everyone, and left happily.After hearing this, Cheng Yue put down his glass, then turned his head to hear the middle-aged man go downstairs, stretched out a hand, and a guard immediately helped him to stand up.

"Go and see who that person is? Is he related to the King of the North?"

The guard turned and left, and someone stood behind him to help him go downstairs.

"Jiuye, Jiuye" Cheng Yue heard someone shouting behind him, but he didn't stop, and walked straight forward.

A man came up from behind and wanted to talk to Cheng Yue, but the guard immediately stepped forward to block him, the weapon in his waist was already unsheathed.

"Jiuye, I must recognize Cao Min, Cao Min Jia She, Jia Enhou."

Hearing that it was Jia Amnesty, Cheng Yue really remembered, "I never expected to meet you here, didn't you go back to Jinling?"

"Yes, Caomin returned to Jinling and buried the Wang family. Hearing about the death of Caomin's mother, he brought his grandson back to the capital. Not long ago, Caomin's mother was also buried. Thinking that there are great scholars in Beijing, Caomin’s grandson is a seed for studying, so I brought him to Beijing.”

"There is nothing like this in life, Marquis Jia En, let's talk in another place."

"Your grandson lives with you, where is his father?"

"His father is very smart, and now he is willing to work hard to live. He ran around with the caravan, and didn't tell the grassroots people how much money he made. He took Wang's dowry girl with him. I heard that he was in a place in the south of the Yangtze River. He bought land and a house, and his current house was conceived before the old lady died. I heard that the child was born, but I don’t know the gender. After taking a sip of wine, Jia Amnesty felt an indescribable oldness. "Since the house was seized that day, our family has been scattered. The poor old lady thought that a family living together is a family."

"Then how do you live in Beijing now?" Cheng Yue fumbled for the cup and asked.

"Caomin has a talent for the way of gold and stone since he was a child, and now he is in the palm of others on Qipan Street. On weekdays, Caomin's sister and nephew also help out a little bit. Although there is no ostentation in the prince's house, they are all day long. It's comfortable to run around with food and clothing."

Idioms don't know what to say?Then suddenly remembered one thing. "That day, the reason why your family ransacked your home was treason, and it was the Zhao family who caught you, but how did the Zhao family know that you were treasonous? The evidence is still conclusive."

"Speaking of it, it's still that the family management in the East Mansion is not strict. I also inquired about it later. Many people said that as long as you go to the back alley for a walk about our family's affairs, those servants with bad mouths will talk about it."

"Now that it's like this, you should go to the Beiwang Mansion to ask for a good master for your grandson."

"To tell you the truth, I don't plan to go to the Northern Palace."

"Why? The King of the North is kind and kind, and you are family friends. When it's time to do something, he will definitely do it. Back then when your family ransacked your home, he even rushed over."

"Caomin can just go to my sister. My sister doesn't care about me. Even my nephew doesn't care about this. My grandson is now living in my sister's house. It's old relatives and friends. He didn't save lives that day, and he doesn't need to come to the door in the future. He helped me, so what should I pay back? My sister is looking at the blood, and my grandson will be attached to the Lin family in the future, and there will be a layer of incense. I have been looking forward to this servant for so many years, he is also the descendant of Rong Gong's direct branch, so he must not be a dog or a dog."

Cheng Yue sighed, "Everyone has their own aspirations. Unless your family is a great sage or has earned military merits on the battlefield, it will be difficult to get ahead. My elder brother is very clear about rewards and punishments, and only talents are promoted. You should take good care of you." Grandson."

Cheng Yue thought for a while before asking, "Don't you still have a nephew? The one who married a girl from the Zhen family was born with jade. I heard that the jade is as big as a bird's egg and radiant. Now your family looks like this. Can the jade survive?"

"I want you to know that my nephew, alas, is also a poor man. When the old lady was lying in bed, his daughter-in-law conceived, and when the old lady left, he lost his jade..."

Cheng Yue really looked like this, "Everyone in the capital knows about this object, and there are always people who want to get it. Then what happened next?"

"He was in a daze, and the old lady saw him awake until she died. My nephew, who was regarded as the pillar of the family's prosperity back then, was used to the life of a son-in-law, and suddenly faced with this catastrophe, he shrank in the room day by day , Later, the old lady went away, life was difficult, and the few girls left at home were sold one by one. He was a little demented, and he cared very much for the girls. Later, he learned that those girls were sold, I cried a lot. When Cao Min came back with his grandchildren, he left without saying goodbye. My sister helped me find him. He didn’t have a penny or dry food with him, so he couldn’t go far. However, his family outside Beijing The temple has left home."

"Then Mrs. Zhen still has a fetus in her womb, and he didn't care about it?"

Jia Amnesty nodded, "I can't count on him for family affairs, but Mrs. Zhen can take it easy, packed up her things and closed the door to live. Now, Caomin and her sister are also paying attention to her. A few days ago, she gave birth to a boy. I have someone to rely on in the future. The strange thing is that my nephew went to the temple to tell him the good news after hearing this, but he couldn’t find Baoyu’s nephew. A monk saw him leaving with a Taoist priest at the foot of the slope. No matter how much I shouted, I didn’t turn back. Cao Min was afraid that someone would abduct him, but now that the family is in ruins, I am old, and I take care of the whole family, and my nephew is also busy, so no one can find him. , asked someone to go, and they all said they didn’t see it, hey.”

The author has something to say: I have a rest tomorrow. I cheered this afternoon and decided on tomorrow’s itinerary.
