Xue Jiazi

In the capital city, ten days later in the evening, the emperor was reviewing memorials in the Daming Palace, and what he was holding in his hand were the papers handed over by Lin Ruhai and the prefect of Yangzhou. Seeing the papers, the emperor's mood also inexplicably improved. For the emperor, salt Tax cuts and disasters along the coast are indeed a major event, and it is still a major headache, but to see gratifying news in this catastrophe, it is as happy as eating ice cream in summer.

"Okay, sure enough, the people's hearts are available. The magistrate of Yangzhou is indeed good at governing the region. Lin Ruhai is also a good one, a capable minister!"

The chief eunuch who was helping to light the lamp at the side didn't know what the emperor was talking about at this time, and he also knew that the emperor was not talking to anyone, but just talking to himself, but as a qualified eunuch, he understood one thing, that is, he couldn't let the emperor stand in the cold , no one responded, so he immediately followed the emperor's words and continued to talk:

"What the master said is true! The old slave of the magistrate of Yangzhou is not clear and has no impression, but this old slave of Mr. Lin knows a thing or two."

"Oh, you know? That's an official from another province, you know that too?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his voice was very gentle, but the chief eunuch felt cold in his heart, what does this mean?Doubt your hands are too long?That's right, it's a big taboo to collude with others. Fortunately, the chief eunuch is not useless, and he has the bottom line in his heart, so he immediately said with a smile:

"Officials and slaves from other provinces may not know, but this Lin Ruhai has to know. Master, you forgot. A few years ago, the Jia family made trouble? Isn't Mr. Lin the son-in-law of the Jia family? The Lin family who had been drugged by Mrs. Lin, resulting in no heirs for more than ten years! No one in the palace or outside the palace knew it at that time, and no one said that Mrs. Lin was unlucky! The inheritance must be cut off. Because of this, many people in the capital inquired about the Lin family. Later, the old minister of the household department also said that since Mr. Lin became an official of the Salt Road, the tax revenue has risen in a straight line. The tax was several times higher or something, and I also praised Mr. Lin, who is a good person, good family background, good ability, not to mention knowledge, and a background in Tanhua, but there is only one thing wrong. He didn't cultivate a good in-law's family, which made him so miserable. "

When the old eunuch said this, the emperor immediately remembered it. It seemed that this was really the case. He seemed to have helped in this matter and reprimanded the Jia family. Finally, finally, what is going on with the Jia family now?The emperor couldn't remember for a while, so he asked:

"How is the Jia family now? I remember that Jia Wang's family was imprisoned!"

Who said that the emperor doesn't gossip? It's not that he was interested when he thought of such a thing. When the old eunuch heard it, he immediately said what he knew:

"No, not only the Jia Wang family, but the old lady of the Jia family is also closed. This old lady is also very confused. I heard that the death of the first wife and eldest son of this general, Mr. Jia She, has something to do with this old lady. It seems that the Jia Wang family made the move, and she helped to clean things up. Anyway, it is no different from the Jia Wang family, but it is more ruthless, even ignoring his own grandson, thinking about his younger son. In the end, the Jia family Jia Zheng's family was kicked out by the clan, so they were divided into a set of yards and some Zhuangzi, which were still for those children. Jia Wang's dowry was also given to Jia Zheng's eldest son, and the old man Half of the wife's dowry and private house were also given to Jia Zheng. I heard that Jia Zheng is planning to go to the successor, but no one is a matchmaker. Even his son and daughter have not been able to marry, and they are having a headache. It seems that they are planning to choose a daughter-in-law and find a son-in-law in the Wang family, and no one from other families outside is willing to marry with their family."

The emperor smiled faintly when he heard this, and then said:

"Speaking of it this way, Jia Amnesty is still a bit soft-hearted. To do this to his younger brother's family who has harmed him like this is considered as the best of humanity. Well, Jia Amnesty still has a son?"

The emperor's eyes saw Jia Lian's name on the back of the booklet, and his eyes were a bit dim, but the old eunuch didn't see it, but just helped the emperor add tea, and continued:

"That's right! The master knows everything, isn't it just that he still has a son-in-law, who was also left by the late wife, and now he is sent to Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. He said that he asked his aunt and uncle to help teach him. I heard that Jia She sent a lot of things. In the past, they went to the Shen family in person to plead guilty. After begging for a long time, the Shen family and their eldest family didn't care about it. That's right, after all, these things were not done by their eldest family, nor could they be counted as their elders. Let’s go up to the head of the house, speaking of which this big house is also a victim, everyone can understand.”

Hearing this, the emperor's heart moved, and he immediately understood the reason why Lin Ruhai accepted Jia Lian from the big house. After all, it was the Yue family, and when there were no one in the Lin family, one more close one would give his children more help. , Even if it was him, he would have done the same thing if he thought about it. Besides, the big room does look a lot better than the second room, so it's not too much.

"The son of this big house is not too young, why is there no imperial examination?"

The emperor has so many problems!Of course, he also wanted to understand why such a big kid would be sent to his uncle's house for upbringing.

"I heard that when Mrs. Jia She's first wife passed away, the old lady said that she wanted to raise her grandson, so she took the young master of the big house and let the second house's Mrs. Jia take care of her. Who knows, they Those who taught and took care of him actually didn't let this child study well, they just coaxed him to play, which made this young man miss the good time to study, and he grew into a dandy! I guess Mr. Jia She is also in a hurry. It was sent directly to Yangzhou, of course, this is what the old slave thought, so I can’t say for sure if this is the case.”

As an eunuch who lives by the emperor's side all year round, he absolutely cannot judge things that he doesn't know directly. Otherwise, if one day you make a mistake and give the emperor a wrong judgment, once you find out, it will be yours At the end of his life, he would not make such a mistake!

Thinking of this, the old eunuch secretly glanced at the emperor's face, looking at the emperor or looking at Zhezi, his expression was flat, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, for fear that he would talk too much,

"Well, Lin Ruhai is also a success."

There is nothing to do with this question and the previous question. The old eunuch didn't understand, and he didn't dare to understand. He just watched the emperor put down the booklet, tapped his fingers on the table, and said with a smile:

"I asked someone to draw up an order. Let me say that the magistrate of Yangzhou, the inspector of salt and censors, has made great contributions to disaster relief and good governance. One person will reward each other with a handle of jade, a set of palace books, the latest Tingtao paper ten knives, one hundred gold, and more. The Xue family, who was the first to donate to the relief... The Xue family...rewards the head of the Xue family, Xue Xun, for his fame, a pair of Jia Lian jade pendants, and others. You prepare ten rewards, not too heavy, two horses forged, 50 taels of silver will do, send it to Yangzhou, and let the two of them decide to donate to those who donate the most."

Having said that, the old eunuch immediately knew that this was a book from Yangzhou that made the emperor happy, so that such a good thing could happen. When I asked myself just now, I was afraid that I was also asking about the person who was rewarded. Listen, here is But there is Jia Lian!It seems that the eldest son of the Jia family may still be favored by the emperor.

"Old slave complies with the order, let's go."

"Good luck to you, you also send a letter to Jia She, and ask him to give you a reward, which is also a joy."

When the emperor said this, there was a half-smile on his face, and the old eunuch looked more and more frightened, but he didn't dare to show his face, and said with a smile:

"Thank you, master. Otherwise, this slave would not dare to go out and talk nonsense. The master is willing to let people know, so they can have this blessing and get the good news in advance! If the master doesn't want them to know, even if there is a pile of gold, this slave will not dare to add more Just a word."

"Well, let's go down!"

Seeing that the emperor let him go, the old eunuch hurriedly retreated, and walked outside to the cabinet lord on duty, thinking as he walked, whether he has not done well recently, why did the master suddenly want to beat himself up?its not right!I haven't sent any letters outside recently!Could it be that the brat below revealed something for the sake of money?Whoops, the things in the eyes of this gang of dead money are really a burden to the dead, and they need to be tidied up. After so many years of messing around, they can't be old and old and give their lives away at such a last moment.

He was busy thinking about his own problems. On the other side, there was another person in the emperor's place. A man in black was standing in the corner of the palace. He heard the emperor say:

"The Xue family is a smart person. They know how to do things. You go and find out how the Xue family is doing now. If it can still be used, it can be used."

"Yes."

After saying this sentence, the man in black disappeared immediately, as if he had never appeared before, leaving only the emperor thinking.

The Xue family can also be regarded as an old man who mixed with the founding emperor. The most important thing is that this Xue family has no direct clansmen who are officials in the officialdom. This point means that the emperor has no real power. , and the Wang family and historians are considered close, but the fact that no one is an official is the weakness of the Xue family. Such people, to the emperor, are like ants.

This emperor is the old emperor, not the new emperor who confiscated his home in the original book. The old emperor liked the veterans, and always wanted to see if there were any available talents among those nobles. He wants to have a good reputation, a reputation of benevolence. It is okay if the old officials who followed the founding of the country are defeated, but if he destroys them, then he is afraid that he will have a reputation of being dead, so he has always treated the old officials. He is relatively tolerant of others, always thinking more about their benefits and the merits of their ancestors. If you start from home, as long as you have the ability, you can be reused, so that he can also get a t-shirt to promote the honorary title, which will also help him consolidate his rights, isn't it, now that his son is grown up, one by one The strength has also improved, especially in the past few years, those recent courtiers, the Jinshi who have passed the imperial examinations, have some signs of being attracted by their sons, and he wants to promote more children from noble and veteran families who have always been loyal to him. Do balance or something.

It's a pity that no one understands his painstaking efforts!Those honorable families, the mud can't support the wall!All of them are so useless. Originally, the Shijia brothers were good, and he wanted to use them, but the old lady of the Jia family was too dishonest, which made the Shijia brothers have a bad reputation. And Wang Ziteng, She looked pretty good, but there was a Jia Wang family, which made him feel chills at the sight, this woman was too much.

Although whether it is the historian or the Wang family, in general, it seems to be a bit of a victim, but anyway, these two women are from these two families, and he feels a little awkward when he wants to be promoted. He had no choice but to let it go first, closely following Feng Tang, and the Zhenguo Bull family used it first. Unexpectedly, this release made him see another one, the Xue family!

Being born in an imperial merchant, the background is a bit shallow, but at least it is a big family, and it is a family that has made great contributions to the founding of the country. If it is mentioned, it seems to be able to start. In one, at least it can balance the Zhen family in Jiangnan. The Zhen family is a bit big. , He should start to be on guard. They have imperial concubines and princes, but they can't take Jiangnan to their family. Someone should divide the meat and eat it. The Lin family can also use it. Help the Lin family. If you can If the three families stand together, then Jiangnan will have a lot to do.

The emperor has the emperor's mind, and of course not everyone knows about it, but on the other hand, the old eunuch went to deliver the decree, and ordered people to prepare things and let people wait. As soon as the decree is completed, it will be sent to Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River , and he himself went out immediately. Since the emperor had ordered the Jia family to know, he naturally had to finish it sooner, so that he could return to his life sooner. With the emperor's current attitude, he was a little uncertain. You just have to be quicker.

Of course, he doesn't need to come forward for this matter, as long as he finds a little eunuch close to him, so without knowing it, Jia Amnesty suddenly received a report from the porter at the door saying that there was a little eunuch from Daming Palace He came to deliver the letter, and almost collapsed on the chair in fright.

"What? Daming Palace? This, this, this, the master has not gone out these days! Could it be that someone who is not good-looking sued our family?"

Not only Jia She was panicked, but Mrs. Xing was also panicked!Their family has no real power, and there is no one in the court. Generally speaking, they don't know anything about the news of the court. If it comes out suddenly, can they not be scared? The most important thing is that the last time someone came from the palace Well, it was because of the matter of the Second Household, they were impeached by the censor and reprimanded by the palace for the matter of the old lady, they were even more panicked, fearing that someone would impeach them again, Jia Amnesty walked out of the study trembling , while thinking about the things at home, I thought about everything, and I couldn’t remember where I was wrong. It's because I didn't learn anything else, I read all the books of the law, even Jia Zhen didn't let it go, so Jia Jing still suppressed it!Such a big incident happened in the Jia family, not to mention the Taoist temple, even if it is in the sky, he has to come back to deal with it, otherwise he will be scolded to death by his tribe. How can he cultivate immortality? The man in the family knows that he should read the law first, so as not to make mistakes again.

After Jia She finally got to the outer study, met the little eunuch, and heard that his son was rewarded by the emperor, Jia She's face immediately changed. What does it mean to be flushed, this is it!The strands of hair began to shine, the back straightened, and the whole person immediately improved a bit.

"Okay, okay, it's really good, come on, come on, the first-class seal is here, give the little eunuch tea money, yes, and... this, please bring it to the manager, the boss, thank him for the congratulations up."

Jia Amnesty took a jade bottle of Han Dynasty off the shelf and stuffed it into the hands of the little eunuch. At this time, he didn't remember that this thing was his favorite thing to play with. Excited, the little eunuch couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw it, this Jia Amnesty was so funny, his face just now was as white as the painted wall, but now it immediately turned red carbon, which changed It's fast enough, and I'm not afraid of a stroke.

But why would he not take some of the benefits? The manager asked him to come, but he came for the benefits. Naturally, he accepted it immediately, said a few words of congratulations, and then left.

Jia Amnesty is happy!I have never been so happy that my son was rewarded by the emperor, what does this mean!It's not that he fancy this reward, nor does he really think how good his son is, but he sees one thing from it, that is, the emperor didn't dislike their family, no, he didn't dislike their eldest family, that's the key. !As long as he is sure of this point, he doesn't have to keep silent during the battle, for fear that that day will be another excerpt from the imperial history, and his family will be in great trouble.That's what matters.

Jia She is very pitiful, really pitiful, what happened to his mother, what happened to his brother, it is really sad!Not only was he sad, but what was even more frightening was that when the palace came to reprimand him, the family panicked, and he discovered a big problem. He had no one to discuss matters at home, no one to give him advice, no one to give him advice. A place to ask for advice, the loss and regret in his heart at that time!I deeply miss my father, and my wife's natal father-in-law, who was my backer back then, but now!None!There is also elder brother Jia Jing next door, who is willing to go to the Taoist temple and doesn’t know how to discuss it with himself. For this, he has been lost for a long time. Fortunately, he is not doing nothing, so he told him to read more about the law. Let him understand something better, but now!When there was a happy event, he found that he still had no one to talk to, no one to discuss with, and he was disappointed again. Fortunately, he also had a way to vent on this happy event.

"Come here, prepare a heavy gift and send it to the aunt's house in Yangzhou, and say that they have worked hard teaching the second master, and send a letter to the second master, so that he can listen to uncle's words in a good way."

If it weren't for Lin Ruhai, how could his son have such a chance and such a good thing? He is still very clear about this. If the Jia family has something to do, the place where they can really ask for help is probably the brother-in-law's house. If you can't see this clearly, then you are an idiot. What are you talking about?dear?Please, he completely understood, what did those old relatives do when something happened at home and their reputation was not good?It's not that he is not blind when the plague god avoids their family affairs.

By the way, there are neighbors, and I have to talk to them, well, that brother Jing should go there by himself.Zhen'er wants to say here, by the way, I asked Zhen'er to inquire about what the reward was for, I forgot to ask just now, and after inquiring clearly, our family can follow this in the future and do more things that the emperor is satisfied with Thing, maybe our family can get better again. People who have been reprimanded by the emperor want to restore their reputation. It can't be done in a day or two. You have to hug the emperor's thigh tightly!

At this time, Jia Amnesty is still very clear, especially when there is no old lady, no second wife to hinder him, and hinder him, the whole person is much clearer, what is greedy for flowers and sex, what is addicted to wine and sex, he just has this kind of heart Now, he doesn't have the time, does he? The whole family relies on him to support him, the situation outside is not so good, and Jia's family is in decline, even if he wants to be an old dude, he can't do it!

He was tossing around here, Mrs. Xing also knew the news, and her face was a little ugly, she said in a daze:

"Lian'er won the emperor's reward, then she is promising. If, if I give birth to her, that would be great. Why can't I give birth!"

When she said this, her face was full of bitterness. Mrs. Fei looked at her and sighed secretly in her heart. Ever since she knew that she had been drugged, Mrs. Xing's temper had changed a lot. , It was invisible, just kept sighing, thinking about the child or something, to be honest, it cut off a woman's life hope, it's hard for everyone, isn't it!

Fortunately, there is no hope, so Mrs. Fei always persuaded her, and this time was no exception:

"Ma'am, don't be discouraged, you're taking medicine! You can always get better, and the master is also taking medicine! As long as you take good care of yourself for a few years, there is always hope."

"Don't try to persuade me, how old is the master, what hope can I have, how many years? After a few years, the master will be fifty, what else can I think about."

"Ma'am, men and women are different. Let alone fifty, there are many people who have sons in their 60s. Besides, big girl, haven't all Cong Sanye been born? Since Cong Sanye can be born, he is the master." The potency of the medicine will soon be cured. As long as you take good care of your body, Madam, you will definitely be able to give birth. Even if it doesn’t work out, you are also a aunt. The second master is capable and successful, so why not respect you in the future? Now this eldest girl is raised by you Here, Third Master Cong also grew up beside you, so he will be your reliance from now on, right? We have a good life!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Xing also knew that it was the truth, it was the truth, but she couldn't turn the corner in her heart, but now she should think about it, at least she knew a little about today's matter, Jia Lian It won't be the same as before. If you think about it, if you don't make any progress in the future, if you think about it, the Lin family won't ignore it. Maybe you can still work as an official, so you should pay more attention to it.

"Understood, I understand how to do it. You will also prepare some things in a while. By the way, prepare some clothes and so on. When the master delivers things, send them together. Anyway, I am also his mother, so I can't just ignore everything."

"That's right, ma'am, you are a mother, so you should look like a mother. Besides, even if you have a biological child in the future, who is so different from the second master in age, it will definitely be the second master's successor in the future." , If you have a good relationship with him, it will be good for your own son, with such a brother to help you, what else do you have to worry about."

Mrs. Fei exhausted her saliva, and finally let Mrs. Xing see some energy, and then she was relieved. It was not because she was so loyal. The key was that if Mrs. Xing continued like this, the master would It is estimated that she will never come to the main room again, so what will she do in the future!Those of them who are dowries rely on Mrs. Xing. If Mrs. Xing loses her status in this family, what will they do in the future?

Watching Mrs. Fei persuade Mrs. Xing to come back from Wang Shanbao's house next door, she also breathed a sigh of relief. Grandpa, if the wife doesn't keep up her spirits, she won't be able to break through, and this day will be impossible. The goblins who didn't see those aunts in the yard started to feel restless, probably thinking about how to challenge the majesty of the head wife!If it weren't for the fact that there were too many things at home, everyone was frightened, and during this period of time, anything would have popped up. Fortunately, the crisis has passed.Hurry up and go to burn incense and worship Buddha tomorrow. Well, one more thing, this wife is up, so can they also look forward to, after this wife officially takes charge of the family, their rights will be greater?

Thinking of this, Wang Shanbao's family couldn't help but glanced at Mrs. Fei, as if she didn't notice her own thoughts, and immediately began to think, well, the eldest girl has her own niece by her side, where is Mr. Cong? Should I reach out for a place at home?There is no need to think about the second master, they are all the old man of the first wife, and the master's people, they can't get in, but the third master can do it!If it is done well, one's own identity can also be improved, and there are people around the two masters, that would be awesome!

No, master is very powerful now!He doesn't care about the big and small things in this mansion, and the old man and the old lady are all there, so he still has to be careful, don't make any mistakes, put himself in, think again .

Mrs. Xing cheered up, finally took this step, and stopped being muddled, which made Jia She very happy, no matter what it was for, he could feel that there was finally such a person in this family who was of one mind with him , even if he couldn't provide him with any advice or help, at least he felt a lot better, no, the Jia family finally returned to calm, and everything started to develop in a good direction.
