Jia Lian's eyes were slightly red, and she hugged her grandmother's arm and acted like a baby.

"Grandmother, you will only keep your second brother and sister."

The little Zhengtai with red lips and white teeth, at a young age, showed a serious side, happy to get together but not happy to part.He was so reluctant to part with Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun that people couldn't help but think of the time when Mrs. Zhang passed away.

After Zhang's death, Jia Lian directly used a serious illness to declare his reluctance to his mother.The child's fever did not cool down for several days, so scared that Jia She and Jia Zheng watched over him day and night, not daring to leave.

He got a little better, and was too weak to get up. Jia Hu, Jia Zhu, and Yuan Chun went to accompany him when they had time, reading books and telling stories to him.

You see, people's emotions come out everywhere.

"Hu'er, what about you? What do you think?" Mother Jia asked Jia Hu who stood silently at the side, staring at herself waiting for an answer.Alas, this child has a heavy heart. Ever since Mrs. Zhang passed away, her brows have become less childish, as if she has become an adult all of a sudden.

"Grandmother, second brother and eldest sister stay in the mansion to study with us. When you are resting, go back and see your second uncle and second aunt, is that okay?"

Jia Zhu was nervous, and Yuan Chun held Ying Er's little hand tightly, waiting for her grandmother to answer.

"Okay."

"Oh." Several children laughed and hugged into two groups.

After the beginning of spring, Jia Amnesty moved the three boys to live in the front yard.Mother Jia packed up the east and west rooms in the courtyard of Rongqing Hall and gave them to Yuan Chun and Ying'er sisters.The two sisters went to study in the front yard every morning, and in the afternoon they learned from the masters in the sewing room.The job of being a housekeeper fell back on Jia's mother, and Jia Amnesty could only help out when she was resting.When it was time for Xiumu, Jia Zheng would take Mrs. Wang to the Rongguo Mansion to pay his respects, and then take his two children back for a day.

The days of Rongguo Mansion moved forward smoothly like this.

From the moment the sage declared the position of Zen, the prince patiently waited for the sage to put his words into practice.In the first year, there was no movement, he held back; in the second year, there was no movement, he continued to hold back; in the third year, he couldn't hold back and flirted with Jia She; then he watched helplessly as the third year passed, and the first Four years are coming to an end.

The prince followed Jia She to the Rongguo Mansion, and he couldn't help but want to talk to the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion.

Looking at the impatient prince, Jia's mother couldn't help laughing, and made tea to entertain the prince as usual.

"Enhou, do you remember what I told you before, 'What is yours will always be yours'?"

Jia Amnesty nodded, the prince was holding the teacup in both hands, when should we wait for this?The pressure on the court is getting bigger and bigger. Several younger brothers have pulled the courtiers into several factions, fighting with each other endlessly, arguing when encountering serious matters, the salt government and the army are intervening everywhere. It has ruined the family of disciples.

"Sometimes, I don't realize until I'm old that five years is so short, it seems to pass in the blink of an eye."

The prince never said a word, drank tea, thanked Jia Mu, and went back to Sijiu City.

It was nothing more than waiting, and he couldn't do more than that.

Just look at Enhou, who returned to the court after the death of Rong Guogong, he was not as vigorous as before, and even the servants of Rong Guo Mansion were not as energetic as those years ago.

Rongguo Mansion declined. □□Mrs. Duke, she is still so confident and firm in supporting herself.For the unwavering support of Rongguo Mansion for more than 30 years, I have to persevere.

Just wait, even if it comes another five years, we can only wait passively.

Without Duke Rong, the prince saw that the Ministry of War was biased towards the third and fifth princes, and he was at a loss what to do.The emperor refused to let Jia She take over any military power.

Jia Amnesty is now the same as Shan Guogong and Hu Xiao a few years ago, they are all servants of the Ministry of War without military power.

After the prince recovered, he joined the third prince's family.Jia She and Wang Ziteng disagreed and became strangers. Jia Zheng hurried to Rongguo Mansion to persuade Jia She.

"Brother, I'm going to serve wine in the mansion, please come and drink with my second uncle."

Jia Amnesty rolled his eyes, disdainful to talk to this fool.

"Mother, look at elder brother?" Jia Zheng asked Jia's mother for help, "I also do it for the sake of elder brother. I am so stiff, and my elder brother is getting more and more difficult in the military department. My second uncle and elder brother are still relatives after all. What's the matter?" Can't talk about it."

"Boss, your brother is also kind. You should tell him what you should tell him. Otherwise, he will step in, and you will be embarrassed in the end."

Mother Jia patiently persuaded the irritable Jia Amnesty to explain to Jia Zheng well.

Jia She's life in the Ministry of War in the past few years has been difficult.He doesn't have the real power in the Beijing camp. Although those old members of the Jia family are facing him, they don't dare to fight head-on with Duke Shan, Hu Xiao and others who voted for the third prince, fifth prince, and seventh prince.More and more people were taken away, he could only watch helplessly but could do nothing.

He has nothing to do when he meets his foolish brother.I can only sigh, and pick what I can say to say a few words.

"Second brother, it's not that the eldest brother didn't tell you, it's just that it's best not to get involved. Your second brother-in-law voted for the third prince's flag. But now the saint is still in power, and the prince has been in power for more than 30 years. You didn't do anything outrageous and rebellious, and you had to depose the crown prince. What Wang Ziteng and the others are doing now is almost the same as treason. The elder brother told you to stay away from him, lest he be dragged into the water when he is liquidated. "

Jia Zheng was so frightened that his face turned pale. Even though he was in the Ministry of War every day, he was really not high enough to participate in these things.With Jia Amnesty, the minister of the military department, even Jia Daishan's old department did not recognize him, Jia Zheng, the second son of the Rongguo Mansion that was separated.

Seeing how frightened Jia Zheng was, Jia Amnesty disliked his innocence.

"Okay, second child, stay away from Wang's house in the future, and let your daughter-in-law go back to her mother's house if she has nothing to do. You have to make up your own mind, and you can't get involved in anyone from the military department looking for you."

Jia Zheng nodded again and again, and returned to the house top-heavy.After he went back, Mrs. Wang saw that his complexion was not good, so she could only suppress the joy on her face, and attentively helped him change his clothes and wash his hands.

"Master, did you encounter any unpleasant things?"

Jia Zheng said "Oh", "It's all about court affairs outside, it has nothing to do with you women. Oh, right, you haven't been back to your mother's house recently, and you have a lot of things at the end of the year, so you can take care of our family's affairs."

Seeing her husband's expression, Mrs. Wang quickly agreed.If you don't go back to your mother's house, you won't go back, your parents are gone, and there is nothing to talk about with your sister-in-law when you go back.

"Master, this year's accounts are basically finished. Do you want to read it now or after dinner?" Mrs. Wang was very happy. It's good to separate the family, and the income is nearly ten thousand taels every year.

As soon as Jia Zheng heard that the annual accounts were finished, he looked at his wife's smiling face and knew that this year's income was more than last year.He smiled and said, "Eat first, then watch slowly."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked someone to serve the prepared hot soup and hot dishes.

After eating a bowl of hot and spicy mutton soup, Jia Zheng felt half of the coldness from his body dissipated.

Mrs. Wang brought Jia Zheng a bowl of Japonica rice, and spread him a chopstick of green vegetables.

"This vegetable was sent by my mother at noon today. She said it was grown by the hot spring village. It is rare to see such tender green vegetables in winter. How does it taste?"

While eating, Jia Zheng said, "You should eat together too. It's cold and the food tends to get cold. The greens are pretty good."

The husband and wife settle accounts together every month and eat together every day, the more the better.Wang let go of what she had and what she didn't have, and got what her mother-in-law said not to be a concubine, and took care of Jia Zheng more carefully.

After dinner, Mrs. Wang handed over the account book to Jia Zheng.Every day in the Ministry of War, Jia Zheng looked at the accounts and the grain and grass warehouses, and when he came back, he looked at the small accounts in his own mansion. He was very familiar with it.

Mrs. Wang lit up the candle, Jia Zheng raised his eyes and nodded approvingly, smiling.After a long time, Jia Zheng closed the account book.

"Okay. It's like this every year, so you don't have to worry about your children and grandchildren."

Mrs. Wang nodded, "When Zhu'er is selected as a Jinshi, you can have flowers and brocades."

Wang put away the ledger and said to Jia Zheng, "My second elder brother will send someone to deliver a letter later today. He wants to invite you to have a drink while you take a rest."

Jia Zheng bowed his head and thought for a while, then kicked all the girls out, and then slowly said: "Second brother has been cast under the third prince's door, and my eldest brother is the prince's companion, Wang, you returned your second brother for me. "

At the same time, Lin Hai, who returned to Beijing after Ding You, was also receiving guests in the mansion.The person who came here was a disciple of the fifth prince, he was a Jinshi of the same discipline, a fellow student in Suzhou, and he is currently working for Zhang Qing in the Ministry of Officials.

"Ruhai, you went back to Yushitai, are you still used to it?"

The relationship between Lin Hai and Zhang Qing seems very close, but in fact, because he was born in Wendinghou's Mansion and grew up in the capital, he and Zhang Qing, who was born in a Jiangnan family, only met after the same subject examination.

"It's all good, thank you Brother Zhang for thinking about it."

Lin Hai was skeptical about Zhang Qing's visit, but Zhang Qing sent an invitation letter, and it was hard to refuse.Not long after returning to Yushitai, he keenly discovered the tense situation in the court, and he positioned himself not to participate.

No matter which faction does not participate, it is only loyal to the saint.

Seeing Lin Hai's intentional alienation, Zhang Qing had no choice but to take the initiative to tell the fifth prince's intention of soliciting.

"Ruhai, if things come to fruition, you can re-hang the old plaque on the gate of the mansion."

This old plaque is hanging again, it is Wending Marquis Mansion!The Fifth Prince paid a high price.

"Brother Zhang, what if it doesn't work? Is my Lin family going to be wiped out?"

Lin Hai is not optimistic about the third prince. The position of the prince and heir is stable. He just needs to work hard step by step, so that he can't get involved in this kind of thing.

"Even if it doesn't work, it won't hinder you. The fifth prince is optimistic about your eldest brother-in-law, as long as you can invite Marquis Rong En Jia to pardon it, that's enough."

Lin Hai shook his head and refused, he was optimistic about Duke Rong's old ministry.If the eldest brother-in-law dared to betray the prince, the sage would seize the Rongguo Mansion without waiting for the fifth prince to succeed.

Although the eldest brother has no real power now, according to his qualifications as the crown prince's companion, after the crown prince ascends the throne, he will be the eldest brother's secretary of the Ministry of War.I have lost my mind and went crazy, so I dragged my eldest brother to vote for the fifth prince.

Zhang Qing's persuasion was ineffective, and he returned in defeat.Lin Hai was blacklisted by the Five Princes faction.
