The Pearl of the Prosperous Age of Red Mansions

However, the emperor stopped being annoyed and continued to ask Jia Zhu, "Jia Zhu, let me ask you again, what do you think about the shortage of food, grass and war horses?"

Jia Zhu pretended to be embarrassed and scratched her head: "The emperor is really embarrassing the grassroots. Money, food and war horses are the responsibilities of the Ministry of Households and the Taipu Temple. The two adults and all the adults in the ministry have nothing to do. How can the grassroots have any opinion?" The grassroots feel that the emperor is benevolent in governing the country, and God sympathizes with the emperor and loves the people like a son. It is unknown whether there have been natural disasters in the past years, or whether the heavens have warned the emperor to give hints."

Since the emperor wanted to use excuses to touch these disloyal high-ranking officials, Jia Zhu was happy to hand over a knife that was beyond debate.

After hearing this, the emperor's heart brightened, but the ministers' hearts turned cold when they heard it. The emperor laughed and said: "It's hard for you to think of this, good boy, Jia Qing, can you choose the word for the child?"

Jia Zheng quickly replied, "Going back to the emperor, I didn't take the words."

"Since that's the case, then I will win Jia Qing's love, and when Jia Zhu reaches the crown, I will personally choose the word for him."

There was no reason for Jia Zheng's reluctance, and he and Jia Zhu immediately knelt down and thanked each other. Needless to say, Jia Amnesty watched from the sidelines, feeling very upset, his face turned red and white at times.

Under the imperial decree of the same day, it was expressly stated that the frequent natural disasters in successive years were warnings from heaven, and ordered the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate unjust, false and wrong cases, and report the criminals and their charges that were not crimes of amnesty, and appointed imperial envoys to thoroughly investigate the six departments. of officials.

For a while, no one cared about whether the emperor was going to send troops or not. Which of these officials would dare to say that they were clean? What's more, Prince Zhongshun is in charge this time, and those in the line of Prince Yizhong are busy cleaning up the aftermath.

The Minister of the Household Department, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the Minister of Taipusi are all loyal and loyal princes. Although this innocent disaster came from Jia Zhu's mouth, it has nothing to do with the admonition of these three. Too many, the three of them had no choice but to make a statement.

A servant of the Ministry of Industry and two Yuanwailang were found to have embezzled funds and passed them off as good ones. They were all sent to prison and dismissed. The magistrate embezzled the disaster relief funds, and the Minister of the Ministry of Households made a confession; a young minister of the Taipu Temple, a Taipusi Prime Minister, and two principals found out that they had neglected their duties and concealed the disaster during the horse plague, and the Taipusi Secretary submitted a letter plead guilty.

All three were prosecuted for the crime of negligence, and the chiefs of Prince Yizhong's family in the six departments were almost wiped out this time.

This time, in the name of natural disasters, the Beijing officials were the main ones to clean it up. Those who didn't understand the situation couldn't help complaining that the emperor's belief in ghosts and gods was absurd. Those who had a clear mind saw the intentions of their superiors and were more cautious. When it comes to their standing in line, even Prince Yizhong's family is a little bit chilled by the prince's failure to protect the three high-ranking adults.

Afterwards, the emperor gave amnesty to the world, and added civil and military Enke. Now, those scholars who muttered that the emperor violated the principles of Confucius and Mencius all shut up, and they all tried their best to be promoted.

The reputation of the loyal prince Xiao Zeqi has reached another level. For those who ransacked their homes and imprisoned, five or six out of ten of their property went into their own pockets. All the impeachments and impeachments in history have been withheld by the emperor. Seeing that the emperor ignored them, the censor also stopped. Officials in Beijing, big and small, all speculated how much the prince had harvested this time, but few people knew. Secretly, all the supplies for the war were raised.

And this time, the other one who really benefited is naturally Jia's family. Jia Zheng was originally the head of the Ministry of Industry. This time, the Ministry of Industry had two vacancies. The name has also been taken care of by officials large and small in Beijing.

Mrs. Wang was a little bit upset because of Hu's reward from the queen mother and queen, and she also became happy after seeing the emperor's reward to Jia Zhu and hearing what Jia Zheng told the old lady when he went home. Naturally, Jia's mother was also happy After Jia Zheng was promoted, Jia's mother opened her mouth and let Jia Zheng have a room and moved into Rongxi Hall.

When Jia Amnesty heard about it, she trembled with anger and didn't dare to choke with Jia Mu. This time she was frightened in the palace, and she didn't dare to lean against the prince. She just felt that her position in the family was taken away by her younger brother, and her official career was also her future. Uncertainty, marrying a wife is still a nightshade, and he doesn't even have any money in his hand, so he just spends his days drinking to relieve his sorrows. Hu looked at this cowardly Jia She, and snorted coldly in his heart, remembering that after he got a reward, Jia Her mother granted her request to return to her natal family, and her mother respected her and taught her that children are the most important thing. This husband is useless, and he must have a son by his side anyway.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Hu called Bitao, who was the most outstanding among her dowry maids, and took her to the house to serve the master, and secretly poured the secret medicine that her mother had secretly slipped into the wine. When the action was taken, the Hu family sent Bitao away and consummated the room with Jia She.

The next day Jia She woke up and regretted not mentioning it, Hu was satisfied and secretly felt that the taste was really good, this Jia She had some uses, and in the future, he would use the gift of husband and wife and the temptation of money to get Jia She again and again. Surrendering, Jia Amnesty went from being reluctant in every possible way at the beginning, to finally "it doesn't matter if you turn on the light and close your eyes."

Mrs. Hu is eighteen years old, her body and bones are fully grown, and Jia She is not a frail young man. Got pregnant.

The more Jia Mu sees Mrs. Hu, the more pleasing she is. At first she thought she was ugly, but now she thinks she is rich and good-looking, and the old lady is in a good mood when she has a family dinner in the evening, so she spares Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Wang from serving the meal. Let the two of them also sit in the banquet.

Mrs. Hu was naturally happy when she was satisfied, and Mrs. Wang was not very jealous. After all, she was just a pearl, and she was as good as many men. After a man named Du Juan gave Jia amnesty and Jia Zheng, they both froze.

Mrs. Hu was the first to turn around. Anyway, she was pregnant and wanted to have a baby. Jia pardoned so many concubines and maidservants, and it was okay to have one more, but Mrs. Wang was really uncomfortable. For so many years, Jia Zheng had only one Aunt Zhou by his side. It was Mrs. Wang who promoted her dowry girl after being beaten by the old lady, and there were no other women. Now there is an extra Dujuan out of thin air. She is familiar with Dujuan. She has a first-class temper. Dishonest!

No matter how unwilling the two were, they had to agree with it with a smile. The two girls also blushed and thanked the old lady. The servant girl was very satisfied, and sighed secretly, this Du Juan is the future Aunt Zhao who never stops.

And in memory, my mother's temperament has gradually changed from the straightforward and gentle girl of the big family at the beginning to "the gourd of the mouth" and "the charitable person" on the face.

I remember my younger brother Baoyu often said that this girl turned into dead fish eyes for some reason after she got married. Jia Zhu thought, maybe this is the reason, looking at her eldest aunt who is obviously much more open-minded than her mother, maybe, such a person , is the happiest.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng both accepted the newcomers that night, and they were both maidservants for the time being. The two newcomers were well-behaved at this time, and there was nothing wrong with them. When Jia Zhu greeted Mrs. Wang early the next morning, she looked Du Juan, who was respectfully setting the rules in front of Mrs. Wang, couldn't help feeling emotional when thinking of the vicious and mean Aunt Zhao she had seen in her previous life.

Jia's mansion has been really busy for a few days. Because Hu's family is pregnant in the inner house, the queen mother and empress in the palace have also rewarded them. The wives of all the mansions have prepared gifts for those who have been in contact with the Jia family on a regular basis, and those who have never had any contact are also climbing. The relationship between Beppu is mutual.

Outside, Jia Zheng never went out to socialize, but this time because of Jia Zhu's relationship, firstly, the princes sent posts to invite his father and son. There are many young children of similar ages, including talents and dudes, but they are too busy to socialize.

It's hard to calm down, it's already winter, Lin Ruhai's prefect's term has expired, and he returns to Beijing with his wife and children to report on his duties. The two cousins ​​of Deng's family are in Beijing to prepare for the Enke that the emperor will open next year. Fang Xin has already won the martial arts exam The rural examination was originally to take part in the martial arts examination in three years, and because of the addition of Enke, he also rushed to the capital to prepare for the examination at this time.

After receiving three letters, Jia Zhu finally showed the most sincere smile these days.The cousin born to my little aunt has never met before, and now it is time to prepare for the meeting ceremony. There are also two cousins ​​who had a funeral at home last time. This time, we must get together with my cousin, Fang Xin That kid doesn't know what he looks like now, this time he will try martial arts with some confidence.

When Jia's mother knew that her daughter's family was going back to Beijing, she smiled even more. At this time, there was another good news from Ningguo Mansion, and Mrs. Jia Zhen's wife Zhao also diagnosed a happy pulse.

In the battle at the city gate, Jia Zhen has no face, and Xiao Ze is the scapegoat

Jia Jing is quite proud these days. The Rongguo Mansion and the Ningguo Mansion have been sluggish. He didn't pay much attention at first, but after returning to the mansion, he wondered if his ancestors blamed him for causing the bad blood. Now Rongning has spread good news one after another. Jia Jing naturally thought that it was due to his good management of the family, eradication of cancer, and extensive accumulation of merit since returning home, and found that his body and bones seemed to be better than before, and he felt that what the fairy elder said was very true, and he worked hard Toss Jia Zhen and manage the ancestral hall.

In fact, the elixir is not beneficial to people. At this time, Jia Jing cut off the elixir, and there are many nourishing things at home. Naturally, the body feels better than before. The "secret method" that the old Taoist passed on to Jia Jing, but It is a simple method of exhaling and inhaling, and it is also used in traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the body. If the two phases are combined, it will be strange if you are not in good health!

Jia Mu has the highest seniority in the Rongning Second Mansion, and her imperial order is also the highest. Although Jia Jing is the patriarch, he is very respectful to Jia Mu and pays respects to Jia Mu from time to time. Jing released Jia Zhen who was detained in the mansion, and asked him to entertain the two Deng brothers who came to Beijing with Jia Zhu.

When Jiao Da investigated the ancestral land property and clan members in Jinling, the Deng family was very helpful, and they all reported it to Jia Jing after returning. Those two cousins ​​learned.

Once Jia Zhen received his father's amnesty, it was natural that his father should respond to what he said, and he still wanted Jia Zhu to make him look careless. He also went to hang out with his former friends, but at this time, his friends had Those who were implicated in previous incidents were imprisoned, and those who escaped by luck, hated Jia Zhu, the chief culprit, to death, and even carried a grudge against the Jia family. Seeing Jia Zhen was like an enemy, so there was no such thing as before. shadow.

After Jia Zhen bumped into walls everywhere, she felt angry. He was also pampered, flattering the prince is a different status from the prince. Unlike this group of people, he has not yet fallen to the point of sticking his hot face to other people's cold ass. Originally, he flattered the lord for the sake of gaining an official title, but now the lord has suffered a heavy loss, while the Rongguo Mansion is full of flowers, so why should he ignore his relatives, and when he figured it out, he turned around and joined Jia Zhu.

On weekdays, he often hangs out with Jia She, and finds Jia Zheng very boring. Naturally, he feels that Jia Zhu, Jia Zheng's son, is just like his father. Jia Zhu saw that he still had a bit of a temper, so he secretly provoked a few more words, making him look like black-eyed chickens when he saw the group of people from before.

When the two cousins ​​of the Deng family came to Beijing, Jia Zhu and Jia Zhen went to meet them in person. From a distance, they saw Deng Jun and Deng Zhao riding in front, followed by several carriages.

Jia Zhu and the two also galloped forward to meet them. It happened that at this time another group of people crossed their horses from the opposite side. The horses were very fast. Seeing the speed of the opponent, he was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he couldn't use any strength. Under the collision, Jia Zhen fell off the horse and fell like a dog gnawing shit.

"Brother Zhen." Jia Zhu got off his horse to look at Jia Zhen. The brothers from the Deng family over there hurried over to see what was going on. They also came down from the carriage behind the Deng family with two maids and a few servants to help Jia Zhen. .

But I heard the group of horsemen laughing one by one, and the leader said in a weird way: "Hey, isn't this a dutiful son Jia Zhen? I am not your ancestor. You gave me such a big gift. I am not afraid of you." I know that I will punish you for copying the "Book of Filial Piety" a hundred times!"

That person was one of Jia Zhen's old cronies, Xiao Kun from the Zongguo General's Mansion, who is currently serving as the Dragon Guard in the Forbidden Guards. Jia Zhu and Qi Hao and others ran into him in a restaurant. This Xiao Kun They belonged to Prince Yizhong's lineage, and Qi Hao and the others naturally had no way of dealing with them. Qi Hao had also told Jia Zhu that Xiao Kun was very vicious, so he had to be careful.

At this time, Jia Zhen was knocked off the horse and fell half to death. She was about to curse at the thing with no eyes. When she heard this again, she saw that it was Xiao Kun. She couldn't hold it back. He wanted to stand up, but he fell so firmly into such a virtuous manner that it hurts enough to move even a little bit, how could he stand up.

Jia Zhen bared her teeth and grinned like this, which made Xiao Kun's group laugh wantonly. Deng Jun hated this kind of dude the most, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Young master, it's your fault to ride horses in the street. Now that you have hurt someone, how can you still speak evil words!"

At that time, Xiao Kun saw a group of strangers coming to help the Jia Zhen brothers, so he took a special look at the two brothers of the Deng family and the carriage behind them. Seeing that the two described them as strangers, his mind turned for a while. Tong, why do you take them seriously in your heart, seeing him teaching yourself at this time, rolling your eyeballs, sneering: "Father's business, do your shit! My master advises you, don't meddle in other people's business, so as not to get burned. "

Although Jia Zhu doesn't think much of Jia Zhen on weekdays, Jia Zhen has really changed a lot under Jia Jing's strict rules in the recent period of getting along, and seeing that he is temperamental, she naturally changed her opinion of him.

One can't write two characters of Jia, and Rongning and Ning's two mansions are both prosperous and ruined. Now Jia Zhen is being bullied and shameless. No matter how good-tempered Jia Zhu is, she can't suppress her anger.

"What a Xiao Kun, you are just a dragon guard in front of the imperial court, a fifth-rank official, but Big Brother Zhen is attacking a third-rank general Wei Lie. If you commit crimes below and above, the national law will not tolerate it!"

After saying that, Jia Zhu kicked Xiao Kun's horse to the ground with an inch of strength. Xiao Kun didn't expect Jia Zhu to do it as soon as he said it, and he was thrown off without checking for a while, but he really had some kung fu. She was still on her body, borrowing strength before landing, although she also fell into the dust, but she didn't need help to stand up like Jia Zhen.

"Okay, I've made a move, and what are you still looking at, give it to me!" How could Xiao Kun give up after suffering so much, his eyes were red, and a group of people behind him swarmed up, and the two brothers of the Deng family joined forces. The servant of Deng's mansion helped Jia Zhu, and the two sides fought in a scuffle.

Xiao Kun and his group are all members of the imperial guards, the Deng family brothers and the young servants are no match for them, Jia Zhu was anxious, but he was no match for four hands with two fists, and his body gradually suffered.

"Dare to bully my brother, thank you Xiao Kun!" Just when Jia Zhu was anxious, Kang Zhenyuan's voice was like the sound of heaven.

Xiao Kun and Kang Zhenyuan were deadly enemies in the forbidden guard, and now they are even more jealous when they meet each other. Xiao Kun left Jia Zhu and rushed to Kang Zhenyuan. After seeing the sedan chair behind Kang Zhenyuan, he hurriedly wanted to He stopped, but he had used too much force before, and he could stop wherever he wanted to. He staggered, just like Jia Zhen just now, and fell in front of the sedan chair.

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Kun kid? Although I'm your elder, you don't need to make such a grand ceremony when you see me. Look at this one." The voice in the sedan chair made Xiao Kun's face even paler. .

This, isn't it Prince Zhongshun who makes everyone in the capital walk with their tails between their legs these days? Saluting the lord, Xiao Kun apologized and said with a smile: "Why is the lord so upbeat today, he came to the city gate."

"Why, I have to report to you where I'm going? Besides, if I don't come today, I won't be able to see it. You guys are very capable now. You don't want to talk about murder in the street, but you still commit crimes. Bullying the widows, the majestic imperial guards of the imperial dragon have spent all their kung fu on this, is it shameful or not?" There was no anger in Xiao Ze's tone, but it made Xiao Kun and the others shudder, drooping their heads. Dare to speak.

"I've seen the prince." Jia Zhu and Jia Zhen, who was being supported by others, also hurried over to greet him. Prince Jing's son is the most handsome person, I didn't expect this one to be a third more handsome than the son, and there is a lot more charm in the eyebrows and eyes.

Fortunately, Jia Zhenzheng couldn't see his wretched expression on his grinning face. Otherwise, with Xiao Ze's temper, his fall today was still light. Xiao Ze looked at Jia Zhu with a bruised face. , and looked at everyone in Xiao Kun, who were all in favor, and finally set their sights on the brothers of the Deng family.

"But the son of the Deng family in Jinling?" Xiao Ze asked.

The two brothers who were named also came over to salute quickly, Xiao Ze smiled and said: "Back then, when my king accompanied brother Wang on his southern tour, the Deng family took over the driving. At that time, this king was also under the care of Mr. Deng. I didn't expect that today Seeing Duke Deng's two young masters being bullied under the eyes of this king, this king really has no face to see Deng Gong."

Well, after Xiao Ze finished speaking, Xiao Kun wanted to make himself disappear immediately. Why is he so unlucky today? It was just that he saw the two guys from the Jia family when he entered the city and wanted to teach him a lesson. What kind of Deng family did he go to, and he was still a family friend of Prince Zhongshun? It's over, if this matter got to his father's ears, he wouldn't have been exposed!

"My lord..." Xiao Kun hurriedly wanted to make amends, but Xiao Ze stopped him with a wave of his hand, "Don't get lost, wait for the lord to send you all to the clan mansion?"

Seeing this posture, Xiao Kun thought that it was absolutely impossible for him and the prince to settle the matter. If he had to go home, his father would have to come forward and bring himself and a generous gift to make amends to the prince.

The lord issued an order to evict guests, anyone who dared to stay any longer, left in disgrace, Xiao Ze chatted with the two brothers of the Deng family for a while, then let them and the Jia Zhu brothers leave, and returned to Jia's mansion. Jia Zhu called the two brothers of the Gao family, and after giving one or two orders, the two brothers saw that the young master's face was bruised and black, they nodded heavily, and then left with fists clenched.

Jia Zhen was sent back to Ningguo Mansion to ask the imperial doctor to see her wounds. Jia Zhen was angry and hurt. She also hated the group of friends from the past, and admired the talent of Prince Zhongshun. clean.

Fortunately, no bones were injured, only sprained, and it recovered after a few days of care. However, it was widely rumored in Beijing that some boys from Xiao Kun's gang had offended someone, and their hands and legs were knocked off, and they were stunned. It's because they didn't see clearly who did the murder, and what's even more bizarre is that these rich and powerful children have knocked out their teeth and swallowed it in their stomachs this time, and none of them went down to investigate the matter.

Xiao Ze in the palace listened to his subordinates' report, raised his eyebrows: "Jia Zhu's mastermind, this kid, after what happened to him last time, the master gave him a good treatment, why did the master blame him again this time? "

It turned out that the reason why these few chose to remain silent was that they all thought that their injuries were the hands of the narrow-minded prince. Who would dare to shout?

The New Year's Eve family banquet is enjoyable and harmonious, and the married maid knows whether she is warm or not

There is never a shortage of after-dinner topics in the capital, and soon there will be new topics to replace the "mystery of the rich and powerful children's broken hands and legs" that has been raging before. Jia Zhu is very satisfied with the clean and tidy Gao brothers, although they are very unkind He let Prince Zhongshun take this inexplicable scapegoat for him, but didn't he also become the emperor's "sword hand" before?

If it wasn't for this incident, he wouldn't have offended so many people in Beijing. Therefore, this time, Jia Zhu only increased the gift from the palace by three points when preparing for the annual gift, and didn't do anything else to attract attention. action.

When the new year was approaching, Lin Ruhai and his wife entered Beijing together with Fang Xin. The mansion in the Lin family’s capital was already ready to welcome the master. I've been here three times.

When Jia Min took his precious son Lin Moxuan to greet the old lady, Jia Zhu, Yuan Chun and Jia Lian fell in love with this extremely cute little guy at first sight.The little guy is not afraid of life, no matter who hugs him, he will stare at his big black eyes, laugh from time to time, and two dimples appear on his white and tender cheeks.

The child looked very healthy, and Jia Zhu was very happy, not to mention Mother Jia, who was so rare, hugged Xiao Moxuan and smiled: "Look at this child, the nose and eyes are exactly the same as my uncle. This small mouth is half as good as Miner's when she was a child."

Mrs. Jia Zhen's Mrs. Zhao just showed her pregnancy at this time, and now she is pregnant with her first child after marrying into Ningguo Mansion, so she especially hopes to get a boy in one fell swoop. Looking at the healthy and lovely little Moxuan, she is secretly looking forward to her My child can also be a handsome brother, and I like this little Moxuan very much. When Jia Mu said it, he quickly echoed: "Isn't it? This child is handsome and tough. When he grows up, he can Seriously."

Jia Mu nodded and smiled and said: "This child can grow up like this, thanks to my Zi'er. Min'er is young, and her temper has been a bit weird since she was a child. She just thinks about it when others say a thousand words. Admit your own reasoning, if it wasn't for Zi'er to help point out a thing or two this time, it would definitely not be like this for Min'er herself!"

Jia Min also said: "Mother's words are very true. If Mo Xuan grows up, if he doesn't respect his eldest sister, I will definitely not follow her!"

The two Deng Jun brothers heard that their grandmother and aunt were full of praise for their mother, and they were really happy in their hearts. They replied a few words with a smile, and for a while, the room was full of smiles.

In the evening, when dinner was set, Mother Jia exempted the daughters-in-law from serving the meal. Jia Min and other female relatives sat at the table with Mother Jia, and Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng sat at the same table. They sat together with Jia Zhen, Jia Zhu, Yuan Chun, Jia Lian and Fang Xindan.Mo Xuan was still young and fell asleep in the arms of a nanny. He was comfortable in the quiet warm pavilion, and the family banquet was a joyous one, so there is no need to elaborate.

As the New Year's Eve approaches, the two prefectures become more and more busy. Now the Ningguo Mansion has re-established the clan land in the suburbs of Beijing. The land has increased and the produce is abundant. The life of the old, young, and widowed in the clan is getting better day by day. If there are sons and nephews who want to find a job when they are fourteen or five years old, they all report to the patriarch and they are arranged to help with the job. Therefore, when they worshiped the family temple on New Year's Eve this year, Jia Jing saw that it was very different from before. The other houses, standing in front of their ancestors, straightened their backs.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, all the prefectures were ordered to go to the palace to meet the queen mother and empress, and then all the prefectures began to bring their children to each other to celebrate the New Year. This year, Jia's mansion is also very lively.

Jia Zhu will also be 12 years old. Although she is a little younger, she is also the age to start to get familiar with people. Many families have girls of the same age.Mother Jia knew that these wives were not interested in drinking, and she was quite proud. After all, it was her grandson, and now some people were thinking about it.

When Jia Zhu heard the news, she couldn't help laughing. If there were no accidents, there would probably be no change between this life and the previous life. Her future wife was still a court official, so Qi Hao and the others winked and told him what happened to the Miss Li family today, and tomorrow. He didn't care at all about what happened to Miss Ma's family.

Jia Zhu didn't care, but the maids in Jia Zhu's room couldn't sit still. Now that the whole house is full, only Brother Zhu is the best match. Although the girls in Jia Zhu's yard were not like black-eyed chickens, they were all hiding their minds.

Among them, the most anxious one is Luhu. At the beginning, she was determined to know that the old lady wanted to praise herself, and she always regarded herself as a future aunt, but Jia Zhu was always indifferent to her. However, that Hongshan was even more liked by Jia Zhu, and the Nanny Zhou sent by his wife targeted her everywhere, as if she was guarding against a thief. Now she is 16 years old, and her certainty about the future has gradually turned into panic. She was already hot-tempered, but now that she was sad, her temper intensified, and those little girls didn't dare to provoke her.

Seeing this, Jia Zhu disliked this Lvhu even more, thinking that Hongshan and Lvhu around her were not small anymore, and she didn't have such thoughts, so it would be better to dismiss them early, but both of them were given by Jia's mother. He couldn't make up his own mind, so he first reported to Jia's mother.

"It's just two girls. If you don't like it, let them go." Seeing that her grandson didn't like it, Jia's mother nodded in agreement, but then said, "The two of them first served me, and then followed you all these years. They are all good children, now I leave them to you to decide, don't wrong them."

Jia Zhu nodded in response, and then asked Hongshan what she meant. Hongshan couldn't help being overjoyed when she heard it. She was not born in a family, but now her parents are outside, and her two elder brothers are also married. Selling into Jia's mansion as a maid felt sad. Later, I heard that Jia's mansion has kindness every year, releasing a group of dead bonded servants who are willing to leave the mansion. It also made me feel better. When I learned that my sister might be blessed to serve the young master, This relieved my mind.

Now that Hongshan begged to go, people from Jia's house also informed Hongshan's family. Before she left, Hongshan felt a little bit more reluctant.

Hongshan used to serve in front of the old lady all the time, Jia Zhu also grew up beside the old lady at that time, and she did not miss Gu Zhuge'er, and she was five years older than Zhugeer, she really took care of Zhugeer When the younger brother hurts.Later, he was given to Brother Zhu, thinking that he would be a housekeeper in the future, so he became more taboo, and he didn't want to be looked down upon as a coquettish. Although serving Jia Zhu was not bad at all, but there was a layer of separation in his heart. Now that this layer of embarrassment is gone, Hongshan can't help but burst into tears, unable to let go of the affection of these years.

Jia Zhu felt uncomfortable at this situation, so she suppressed her sadness and said with a smile: "Sister Hongshan doesn't have to be like this, now she has become a good family, if there is anything wrong outside, just look for Liu Fang to find me, don't hesitate. There is no reason for birth!"

Hongshan kowtowed three more times to Jia Zhu, then went to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to kowtow goodbye, and then followed her brother back home, when she got home, she saw the things Jia Zhu sent to her home What, Hongshan felt even more sad.

Many people outside Jia's mansion were worried about the girl released by Jia's house, especially Hongshan, who was favored by her master. As soon as Hongshan came home, there was an endless stream of proposals, but Hongshan adhered to the principle of only being a regular wife. After thinking about it, I finally picked a well-off farm family.

But Luhu is different from Hongshan, she is a child of a family, and hearing that Jia Zhu wants to let her go, all the boys of the right age in the mansion are attracted to her, and this Luhu looks really outstanding!

Although Jia Zhu didn't like her temperament, she had served him wholeheartedly for so long after all, and couldn't bear to marry her to someone else in a daze, so she was really picky about this candidate for a while, which also gave Jia Zhu a headache—those who begged her Those who came before Mrs. Wang were all dignified and dignified housekeepers, and it would not be good to refute anyone's face, let alone refute your own mother's face.

At this moment, the brothers from the Gao family came awkwardly. Jia Zhu looked at the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Gao Yong, the boss of the Gao family, blushing with embarrassment, and couldn't speak well. Gao Wu spoke for his brother. mind.

"At first, I thought that Miss Luhu was my future aunt, so my brother got worried. Now that he finds out that's not the case, he has to be cheeky to beg. Young master, my brother's character is not worth mentioning, although He is a vulgar person, but he is used to hurting others, so he will never treat Miss Luhu badly."

Jia Zhu was overjoyed, how could he not know what kind of person Gao Yong was, and because Gao Yong had a half-teacher friendship with him, his status was not ordinary, if he agreed to him, he would not refute anyone's face, it was killing two birds with one stone.

At the beginning, Luhu knew that Jia Zhu was going to let her out, and her heart was completely hopeless, and all the affection she had secretly promised to Jia Zhu was in vain. All these years, she had lost the face of her future aunt, which made her more sensitive. Seeing the maids gathered together Talking and laughing together, I felt that they were laughing at me. After returning to Lao Tzu's side, they locked themselves at home and didn't go out for half a step. They even fell seriously ill.

Fortunately, her mother felt sorry for the girl, and after a long time of persuasion and comfort, Luhu gradually got better. After hearing that, all the boys in the mansion asked someone to marry her, and there were many of them who were idle and described as wretched. Well, she has always been a high-minded person, thinking that if she married such a nasty person, she might as well die clean, and then get better and become seriously ill again.

At this time, the news came that Jia Zhu made the decision to promise her to Gao Yong, and Luhu's heart finally became brighter. She knew the details of the brothers from the Gao family. Also stronger than those boys in the house.

After releasing Hongshan and marrying Luhu, the two big maids in Jia Zhu's room were vacated, and the eyes of the girls in the room were all red. Who knows that Jia Mu finally parachuted two of them down, making the group of maids come back again. disappointed.

The two new maids were Fangcao and Xinlan, the second-class maids by Jiamu's side. She has a rather naive temperament, standing with Xinlan like a child, Jia Zhu originally didn't want her, but Jia's mother disagreed.

"I know you like Hongshan's temperament, and I like it too, but you can't be full of gourds in the room, making you a little old man, that's not okay, that child Fangcao is the worst in my eyes. suitable!"

Jia Zhu had no choice but to leave Fangcao first. After a long time, she also found Fangcao's temperament interesting, which added a lot of jokes to Jia Zhu's yard. Fangcao is particularly tolerant.

Not to mention the right and wrong of those maids in Jia Zhu's room, but said that in the blink of an eye, the first month, Lin Ruhai was promoted to Jiangnan, and he was going to Suzhou. Before leaving, Lin Ruhai asked Jia Zhuna Zheng Hang's recommendation To Jia Zhu's Zhao Ningchuan.

Jia Zhu was taken aback for a moment. He had no doubts about Zhao Ningchuan's talent. Zhao Ningchuan had been his mentor these years, and the relationship between the master and the apprentice had grown deeper and deeper. He didn't say anything, and the only ones he trusted the most were still the two brothers from the Gao family.

Seeing Jia Zhu's expression, Lin Ruhai knew that Jia Zhu didn't use Zhao Ningchuan. Now that he knew more about the secret power in the hands of the emperor, the more he affirmed that Zheng Hang and others were unusual, but it was not appropriate to reveal too much with Jia Zhu at this time. Lin Ruhai only told Jia Zhu meaningfully: "This person can be of great use, remember."

To avoid the imperial examinations, Mr. Jia Zhu made a good plan to serve Jia Zhu's official career

Lin Ruhai only mentioned Zhao Ningchuan, which made Jia Zhu have to change her opinion of this gentleman. My uncle can't speak indiscriminately. Jia Zhu thought of Mr. Zheng in Hangzhou, and his heart moved.

He was limited by the memory of his previous life, and had always placed Zhao Ningchuan in the position of fame. Now, comparing Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zhao, they are both talented and famous, more than enough to be an official. Mr. Zheng was his own before. I am a professional teacher, but now I have been away from Hangzhou for more than three years, and Mr. Zheng has also become my uncle's assistant, which is puzzling.

Can it be said that there is something wrong with this?Jia Zhu thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure out the point, but he was sure, maybe he should trust Mr. Zhao more slowly.

Right now, there is really a troublesome thing. Thinking of this, Jia Zhu went to the bamboo courtyard to look for Mr. Zhao.

Since Zhao Ningchuan came to Jia's mansion to be Jia Zhu's teacher, although Jia Zhu did not have any shortcomings in etiquette, Jia Zhu didn't care about the imperial examination, so he didn't devote himself to his studies. ,
