[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

Ji Shengyan did prepare a gift for Lin Yuzhou, an East China Sea pearl, and he sent the pearl to Lin's residence. After all, it was Jia Mu's birthday, so it was better for the Lin family to send it there.

"His Royal Highness really has a heart." Jia Min closed the pearl box, and she stretched out her hand to straighten Lin Ruhai's belt. "This pearl is smooth in color, and it is not far from Dongzhu."

Lin Ruhai shook his sleeves, not daring to tell Jia Min that the crown prince coveted his own son.

"Master, madam, the carriages and horses are ready." The voice of housekeeper Lin Chang came from outside, Lin Ruhai checked his clothes again, and said: "Wait outside, send someone to Daiyu's place to have a look."

After Lin Chang left, Jia Min took out the invitation card for Jia Mu's birthday. She stared at the content on it and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ruhai asked.

Jia Min shook his head, put away the invitation and said, "Right for the mother's birthday, Rongguo Mansion should hold the main banquet, but the invitation says that officials and guests should go to Ningguo Mansion for the banquet, and guests should go to Rongguo Mansion for the banquet. , the master and we will be separated."

"Brother Zheng has his own considerations." Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and said to Jia Min, "Let's go."

Because the venues for the banquet were different, Lin Chang prepared another carriage. Lin Ruhai drove to Ningguo Mansion, and Jia Min took Lin Daiyu to Rongguo Mansion.

There was firecrackers on Ningrong Street, and even the East Palace heard it. Ji Shengyan looked up and looked outside the door, and Lu Shengrong hurried forward to close the door of the study.

Ji Zhao has been sitting in the study, waiting for Ji Shengyan to finish all the official duties before he said: "Second brother, I heard that you have a jade hairpin here, can you give it to my younger brother?"

Ji Shengyan glanced at Lu Shengrong. It seems that during the past few days when Ji Zhao pretended to be the deputy prince, he did not give Ji Zhao the jade hairpin sent by Concubine Ning.

"Hear what your mother said?"

Ji Zhao nodded: "Yes."

Ji Shengyan waved to Lu Shengrong, then looked back at Ji Zhao, and said, "You did well in those five days."

Ji Zhao pursed his lips. Donggong Wutian let him know part of Ji Shengyan's plan. He only saw the tip of the iceberg, and he was conquered. He also deeply realized the distance between himself and Ji Shengyan. and.

"Second brother, can I stay by your side?" This was Ji Zhao's decision after he experienced the life in the East Palace for five days and thought it over. He wanted to stay by Ji Shengyan's side and make Ji Chao stronger with him.

"En." Ji Shengyan nodded, and when Lu Shengrong walked in holding the jade hairpin box, he raised his chin and said, "Give it to him."

Ji Zhao opened the box, glanced at the jade hairpin inside, got up and thanked Ji Shengyan: "Thank you, second brother."

"No need." Ji Shengyan knocked on the table and asked him, "Have you figured it out?"

"Think it over." Ji Zhao nodded, and replied seriously: "I will definitely fulfill the promise I made."

After Ji Zhao finished speaking, there was another sound of "rumbling" firecrackers outside. Ji Shengyan frowned, and turned to look at Lu Shengrong: "Is the Fengzao Palace rewarded by the Jia Mansion?"

Lu Shengrong shook his head, and replied in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, Concubine Xiande has been feeling unwell recently. Your Majesty does not allow anyone to disturb her. I don't think the reward from Fengzao Palace can leave the palace."

Hearing this, Ji Zhao was very puzzled: "What's going on?"Why didn't he hear anything?

"Returning to Your Highness Fourth, Your Majesty asked Concubine Xiande to invite her younger brother Baoyu to the palace as a guest. The empress made excuses on the excuse of being unwell. Her health has not improved these days."

"Ridiculous, how can a foreigner enter the harem?" Ji Zhao frowned tightly. Although Jia Baoyu hadn't been crowned, he already knew the personnel affairs. How many troubles would such a person cause if he entered and exited the harem?

"She's not stupid." Ji Shengyan didn't care whether Jia Baoyu could enter the harem, the defense of men and women was not important to him, he speculated that Jia Yuanchun should have sensed that Emperor Jialong's purpose was unusual, and he invited Jia Baoyu as a reason False, the stone that wants Jia Baoyu is true.As for the reason?Maybe the Xianjia baby can make Emperor Jialong live a few more years?

"Second brother, when I came here, I heard the news that the Rongguo Mansion borrowed 50 taels of silver from the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Households approved it." When Ji Zhao got the news, he smashed the pen holder angrily. How much money is in the treasury? What was recovered was now easily borrowed by the people of Rongguo Mansion.

Lu Shengrong told the news he knew at the right time: "The Minister of the Household Department has been dismissed because of his connection with the Zhen family, and now he is represented by the servant of the Household Department, Zong Yuan. The maidservant heard that the wife of Mr. Zong Yuan is the cousin of Governor Wang's wife."

"Governor Wang? Wang Ziteng?" Ji Zhao came to his senses. Wang Ziteng was promoted again after returning from patrolling the border. He is now the governor of Zhili. The prince would win him over like that. "It must be the Jia family who relied on Wang Ziteng's power to let the household department let go of borrowing money."

"Send someone to check to see if there is any contact between the Ningrong Second Mansion and the Zhen family." Ji Shengyan ordered Lu Shengrong, and then said to Ji Zhao: "Go back and draw up a plan for me to recover the debt owed by the Ministry of Households."

Ji Zhao left with the task, Lu Shengrong also retreated, Ji Shengyan knocked on the teacup on the table, the water in the cup swayed, and a figure appeared.

"Have you heard everything?" Ji Shengyan asked with a smile.

There was a piece of coal in Lin Yuzhou's hand, he fiddled with it, and replied: "50 taels is not enough, the Xue family will definitely not provide large sums of money for the Jia family now, for Wang Ziteng's sake, it will be worth 50 taels." There is still a little possibility, and there will be no more. The Jia family has a lot of money gaps in the construction of the Provincial Court, and according to their actions, [-] can only make up a small hole."

Ji Shengyan agreed, propping his forehead to say the important message: "The amount of money seized by the Zhen family is wrong."

"It seems to be the same as the original book. The Zhen family hid part of their money in the Rongguo Mansion, and the Jia family used it." Lin Yuzhou shook his head. This man is going to die, and no one can stop him. I love you so much, but on a day like this, if she doesn't reward Jia Mu, it will attract suspicion from everyone, right?"

"No, Dai Quan is out of the palace."

Ji Shengyan's words made Lin Yuzhou stunned, asked Dai Quan to give gifts to Jia's family in the name of Jia Yuanchun, and then tried to bring Jia Baoyu into the palace, Emperor Jialong was bound to win him.

"He didn't want to use Jia Baoyu as a medicine primer?" Lin Yuzhou never underestimated the madness of the ancients, especially people like Emperor Jialong. With his obsession with immortality, he ate it raw to achieve his goal. Human flesh is possible.

"The meat of Shenying's waiter does not have the ability to make people live forever." Ji Shengyan frowned after speaking. Recently, many unidentified people have mixed around Emperor Jialong, and the frequency of his taking pills has also increased a lot. "I will send People are staring at him, so hurry up and return to Beijing before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Lin Yuzhou nodded, and said before closing the mirror, "Tell Ji Zhao that it's fine if he doesn't promise. Since he promised that only Daiyu will be alone in this life, if he breaks his promise, I will not show mercy."

Ji Shengyan raised his eyebrows. After Lin Yuzhou's figure disappeared, he polished the words, wrote them down in Lin Yuzhou's handwriting, and sent someone to send them to Ji Zhao.

The capital is busy with many things, big families hold weddings, and the beggars in the city also have a good place to go. They gathered in front of Ningrong Second Mansion and left after receiving the reward.

Ningrong Street was piled up with firecracker crumbs half an inch thick. Many children squatted on the ground and rummaged through them, trying to find one or two unexploded firecrackers to play with. If they found intact firecrackers, they would be even happier.

When Lin Daiyu returned in the carriage, she saw many children jumping and jumping on Ningrong Street. She didn't understand their fun, but their sunny appearance made her feel much better.

"Mother, don't be angry." Lin Daiyu persuaded Jia Min after her mood improved.

Jia Mu's [-]th birthday, the banquet was extravagant, and there were many guests. Four princes and eight princes sent people, and the old princess of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion even came in person, but this old princess was not a good match. Just look at Tanchun, and compare Tanchun with Lin Daiyu, praise Tanchun and secretly derogate Daiyu, which makes Jia Min angry.

After the lunch banquet, Jia Min took Daiyu and left, leaving a room full of Jia's female family members looking at each other in dismay.

"I'm most annoyed at my mother's attitude. She didn't stop the old concubine from saying those words, and that Jia Tanchun actually advised me not to start a conflict with the old concubine, saying that the visitor was a guest? Then what are we?" ?” Jia Min vented, her precious daughter was said to be weak, said to be weak, not to live long, and said to be weak and unlucky?How can this make her not angry?

"She really wants to please the old concubine, but the old concubine doesn't like her as a grandson's wife at all, but just uses her as a raft."

"Mother!" Lin Daiyu took Jia Min's hand, nestled into her arms, and said, "You have already sought justice for your daughter. The old princess's face turned pale when you said those two words. You, the old concubine must be stunned by you."

Jia Min shook her handkerchief and said with a sneer, "She deserves it. How dare she speak of another family because her family is not upright? No one in the whole capital knows about her daughter-in-law's affair with the boy."

Liu Xu paused while holding the teapot, and thought: My wife may not know that brother Yao sent the servant to the bed of Princess Nan'an, and that news was also revealed by brother Yao.

When Jia's mother and daughter returned to the Lin Mansion, their experience in the Rongguo Mansion had already been spread to the ears of some people.

In Xianning Palace, after Ji Zhao got the news, he got up in a hurry, and before he stepped out of the palace gate, he was stopped by Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning put down the scissors for pruning flower branches, and walked to Ji Zhao: "You are too impatient, can Jia Min make her daughter suffer?"

Ji Zhao's eyes were full of worry and anger: "Mother Concubine..."

Concubine Ning smiled, and reached out her hand to block what Ji Zhao was about to say: "The old concubine Nan'an went to the palace a few days ago, she didn't go to see Jia Yuanchun, she only greeted the queen."

Ji Zhao sat back in his seat, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Concubine Ning walked across to Ji Zhao, sat down and asked with a smile, "Have you figured it out?"

"Mingbu Langzhong Tangxian went south to oversee the army to wipe out the Japanese pirates. The battle is intense. Since the Tatars in the north are staring at the tiger, the imperial court has no spare power to send troops to the south for reinforcements. Tangxian has decided to join forces with the coastal states to eradicate the Japanese pirates together." Ji Zhao's mind emerged. Regarding the situation in the early court, he went on to say: "Our naval army is confronting the Japanese pirates. In order to get the vassal state to help, Tang Xian asked the father to marry a princess to the vassal state and make peace with the prince of the vassal state."

Concubine Ning nodded, and expressed her guess: "After Mrs. Zhen and the third child were imprisoned, the Nan'an Palace completely lost power, and the old concubine could only maintain the face of the Nan'an Palace by virtue of her kinship with the Queen Mother. Once His Majesty agrees to His Majesty's request, the old concubine's granddaughter will most likely be sent to marry, she is unwilling, so she chooses to cooperate with the queen, that girl named Tanchun is going to be in trouble."

Ji Zhao pursed his lips. He disdained to deal with women, but Nan'an County Prince and his son are not women, and he will not be soft.
