After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

The culture of the Sui and Tang dynasties was inherited from the Northern Dynasties during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

At that time, there was a saying in the Northern Dynasties, which was used to ridicule the Southern Dynasties, and it was called "Jiang Zuo's evils".

It can be seen that the Northern Dynasty did not take the children of concubines seriously at all, and it did the same with concubines.

Later, the literati in the Song Dynasty were also ashamed of their daughters and others as concubines.

This "send a daughter as a concubine" is really not a good word.

But after so many years, now, I don't pay much attention to this.

Especially if you are an official in the local area, maybe one day Shangfeng will take a fancy to you, so he will give you his concubine daughter as a concubine to show the closeness of the two families.

Jia Jing absolutely did not admit it, he was holding grudges because Jia Yuanchun emptied his Ningguo Mansion property in order to build a family garden after Jia Yuanchun became a virtuous concubine in his previous life.

That's why he took the trouble to find a lot of books about the customs and customs of the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties for Jia Daihua to read, deliberately making his father loathe the idea of ​​"giving a daughter to be a concubine".

This time, even if there are two more imperial concubines in the West Mansion, he still has a reason not to spend a single one.

There is no way, it is filial piety if you don't change your father's way.

Of course, he also knew that this offended people, so he never said it outside.

Now when I mentioned it to everyone, I only said that Jia Daihua didn't like his relatives.

Except for the crown prince and Jia Jing, all the literati who had been in the cold window for ten years, even Zhang Chun, who was also a relative, admired Jia Daihua's integrity.

Although their Zhang family had a queen, they never claimed to be relatives.

Since Jia Jing's method didn't work, everyone had to find another way.

After everyone went through their existing contacts, Mr. Zhao, who was opposed to Mr. Liu's proposal at first, suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh, yes, I have a son-in-law of the same age as the Zhen family."

The 25th day of the twelfth lunar month was coming soon, Jia Jing was not qualified to participate in the royal ceremony, but he still followed Jia Daihua out early in the morning and sent Jia Daihua to the gate of the palace.

But this time, besides picking up his father, he also had another purpose, which was to know the outcome of that matter immediately.

It was the end of time when Jia Daishan and Jia Daishan came out of the palace together.

Although he seemed to be walking steadily, Jia Jing saw the difficulty of his actions at a glance.

Therefore, Jia Jing didn't dare to delay, jumped out of the car in a hurry, ran to Jia Daihua's side, and supported him: "Master, how is it?"

Then, he called "Uncle" to Jia Daishan.

Jia Daishan nodded with a smile, and headed towards his carriage.But Jia Daihua half leaned on his son and let out a long sigh of relief.

In the past, when performing ceremonies, it was in the courtyard of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites. The floor was covered with bluestone slabs, which were clean.

But when they actually participated in the great sacrifice, these nobles knelt on the square in front of Fengxian Hall.The square is paved with granite, and there are many reliefs of auspicious animals.

Unfortunately, the place where Jia Daihua knelt was carved with a pair of unicorns.

At the end of this day, the taste can be imagined.

Jia Jing thought for a while, then squatted in front of him: "Master, I will carry you on my back."

Anyway, Jia Daihua is going to be a scholar after a new year, and there is no hindrance to exposing his weakness at this time.

Probably Jia Daihua thought the same way, so he didn't refuse, and lay on his son's back, allowing his son to carry him back to the carriage.

Jiao Da was the one who followed today. Seeing the old man coming with his back on his back, he hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car and asked the old man to help him into the car.

"Master, shall we go back now?" Jiao Da asked.

Jia Jing said: "Quick, go home, go home now."

Then, he took out the hot water bottle he had prepared in advance, and applied it to Jia Daihua's knee through his trousers.

"Hiss~" Jia Daihua couldn't help hissing, his brows were tightly frowned.

Jia Jing said, "Master, bear with it, this will relieve the pain. When I get home later, I will ask Dr. Wu to rub it for you with Jiuduhuayu ointment. The blood stasis will dissipate, and you will be fine."

Jia Daihua leaned against the big pillow with his eyes closed and did not speak.

Jia Jing wanted to ask about the sacrificial ceremony, but seeing his father so tired, he swallowed the words again.

After about a quarter of an hour, the heat from the hot water bottle had almost dissipated, so Jia Jing took it back, and Jia Daihua breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he took the initiative to talk to Jia Jing about the sacrificial ceremony: "In the future, you will be on business in the court, so stay away from the third and ninth princes."

Jia Jing, who is the mastermind behind the scenes, is well aware of the reason for this.

It's just that he didn't expect that even the third prince would be tricked into it.

At this moment, apart from Concubine Duan Gui's natal Duan family and cousin Chen's family, the third prince does not have any supporters in the court.

Jia Daihua didn't know that all of this was designed by the prince's people, but simply told Jia Jing about the situation at that time, "When the sacrifice hall began, suddenly a courtier asked to play to your majesty, saying that it was the prince and the princes They are all the sons of saints, and offering sacrifices to ancestors is a family matter. I hope that the princes can kneel on the jade steps with the crown prince. Later, several people seconded the proposal. Then, the Duan family and the Chen family also joined the proposal."

Jia Daihua sneered: "At the beginning, when the Zhen family sent their daughter into the palace, I knew that their family would not be safe. But I didn't expect that the Zhen family would lose their composure so soon. The Ninth Prince is only eleven this year, right? "

"I'm 11 years old, and I can already discuss marriage." Jia Jing paused, and then asked, "How do you know that he is from the Zhen family? The cousin of the Zhen family is only a fourth-rank governor. The worst thing is to be able to see the priests." It must be from the third grade, right?"

Jia Daihua let out a long breath and said, "The Zhen family is rich and has two princes."

Today is not an emperor who can live comfortably, he likes to go out for a walk every now and then.

Besides hunting, he also especially likes to go to the south of the Yangtze River.

After careful calculation, since the sage ascended the throne, Jiangnan has been there four times, two of which were picked up by the Zhen family, and two times by the Wang family.

The Wang family is in charge of the Shibo Department, and there are countless rare and rare treasures in their hands. If the sage turns a blind eye, it is enough for the Wang family to recoup their money.

As for the Zhen family, firstly, it was something they robbed when they followed Taizu to conquer the world, and secondly, the sage deliberately gave him a fat job.

According to rumors in the court, in the spring of next year, the sage also intends to give Zhen Guozhong the post made in Jinling.

Therefore, the Zhen family is really not short of money.

As the saying goes, traveling thousands of miles to be an official is only for money.

Although these words cannot cover all officials, at least more than half of them are like this.

In addition, the Zhen family has two princes, and in the future there must be at least two princes.

This is another big force, very capable of bluffing people.

Well, Jia Jing has been able to confirm that the Chen family and the Duan family must see that the situation is good, and they are going with the flow.

However, that's fine too.

The water became more muddy, and the possibility of Donggong being found out became lower.

***

Jia Jing's guess was right, the Chen family and the Duan family did play by ear, spontaneously, without any warning in advance.

After Duan Guifei heard about it in the harem, she almost fainted out of breath.

She hurriedly asked the little eunuch who sent the message: "What's the saint's reaction?"

The little eunuch said: "Of course the sage doesn't allow it, and he even reprimanded the adults who invited him to remind them that there is a difference between monarchs and ministers."

Concubine Duan Gui breathed a sigh of relief: It's fine if it happens on the spot.

She understood the saint's temper. If he didn't get angry on the spot, he must have remembered it in his heart, and it would be even worse if he found it out later.

"Reward him." Concubine Duan Gui waved her hand, and immediately a maid who was close to her body took a pouch to the little eunuch, which contained three silver coins.

"Thank you, Madam, for the reward." The little eunuch pinched her hand, thanking her happily.

Seeing him being so clever and pleasing, Concubine Duan Guifei felt better, and said to the grand lady: "Go and get him a plate of that fruit, so that he can sweeten his mouth too."

Now, the little eunuch was even happier, and while thanking him again and again, he took off his hat and asked the big palace lady to pour in the fruit.

For a young eunuch like him, most of the silver rewards were handed over to the eunuch in charge in order to have a good job.

Only these snacks and noodles, which the eunuchs in charge despise, can fall into their stomachs.

After the little eunuch left, Concubine Duan Gui said, "Go to Lama Temple and invite the prince over."

After a pause, she changed her mind again, "Forget it, he has been kneeling for a day, let him rest. Thrush, go find the Nine Poisons Huayu Ointment and send it to the prince."

"Yes." The palace maid Huamei replied, went to the inner hall to find out the ointment, and personally delivered it to Lama Temple.

In Lama Temple, the Third Prince was also very angry.But what he was angry with was different from Concubine Duan Gui.

Concubine Duan was angry with her natal family for making her own decisions, but the third prince was angry with the attitude of a saint.

Today's sacrifice is for the ancestors, not for the heaven and the earth. Why can't these princes kneel with the crown prince?

There is also the prince, who is hypocritical on weekdays, saying that he wants to respect his brothers and teach those little ones to do their homework.

Why didn't you even fart at the critical moment?

Don't you want to be brothers and sisters?When the courtiers proposed, why didn't you go along with it?

snort!Fortunately, he had never believed in the prince's tricks before.

Hiss~ It hurts!

"Are you ready?" The third prince asked impatiently the little eunuch who was wrapping his legs.

The little eunuch was served by him personally. He knew his master's temper and was not afraid of him. Hearing this, he replied honestly: "I need to apply it for a while, and rub it with safflower oil to remove the blood stasis." It's good."

Of course, what he didn't say is that if there is Jiudu Huayu ointment, the effect will be better.

Then, Huamei came over with Jiudu Huayu Ointment.
