Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

Chapter 104 The So-Called Opening of a New Era

Qianyuan first year

Beginning this year, the Dagan Dynasty officially entered a new dynasty.

I thought that the tenth prince, Si Jingran, after the current Emperor Qianyuan ascended the throne, because there were the third and sixth princes who were powerful, and then there were the fourth and fifth princes who were deeply scheming and unpredictable.Although the politics in this court is still considered peaceful, but a few years ago, because Emperor Longqi indulged the third prince and the sixth prince to seize the heir apparent, many problems were left behind.

Leaving aside other things, Jiangnan alone is a big problem.

Because of these problems, they thought that the newly enthroned Emperor Qianyuan would spend two years in a hurry.But what they didn't expect was that they had been busy for a while, but it was only half a year.

The third prince and the sixth prince didn't know if the vigil was broken, or if the new emperor had made preparations early in the morning.After the death of the first emperor, the health of the two of them suddenly became bad, with ups and downs, and they had no energy to trouble the new emperor at all.

Although most of the courtiers were more inclined towards the latter, they couldn't find any evidence.Especially the third prince's illness was known to almost the whole court, and his indulgence was so excessive that his body was wasted.If this sentence is too professional and you don't understand it, then replace it with another sentence, which is 'excessive indulgence'.

As soon as the news came out, although the new emperor didn't say anything, it didn't prevent the officials in the court from looking at the third prince with a strange look.

My own father passed away not long ago, as my own son, I have to observe filial piety for three years.I don't want you to be abstinent for three years, but at least you shouldn't make such a fuss, right?Hehe, excessive indulgence... Don't say it is a stain in the royal family, even if it is in the family of ordinary people, it is also an unworthy descendant, and it is not impossible to be expelled from the clan in a serious way.

As for the fourth and fifth princes, the fourth prince has been holding back, thinking in his heart that he will pull the new emperor from the throne.But the reality is too skinny, he doesn't have a capable mother and concubine like the third prince, who works around the palace to pave the way for him.Unlike the sixth prince, he has a powerful grandparent's family.What he has is his own strength, although he has been secretly operating for so many years, many courtiers have a good impression of him.However, before he started to make any movement, everything was settled.

This made him unable to display his full ambition.

Not to mention the Fifth Prince.Although quite scheming and ambitious, but the reality is too skinny, he hasn't even left the third prince's side yet.The new emperor ascended the throne.As a smart person who is afraid of death, he never thought of going against the new emperor.

It's not a troubled time now, if he had to sacrifice his wealth and life in exchange for an extremely small chance, he wouldn't do it.What's more, judging from the current situation, the new emperor has only been on the throne for less than half a year, and he has stabilized the government. It can be seen that he has been prepared for a long time, and it cannot be achieved overnight.Besides, just look at what happened to the third brother and the sixth brother.If it is said that there is no method of the new emperor, he will never believe it.

With this kung fu, it is better to think about your own retreat.In case the new emperor finds trouble, how can I withdraw completely?

Jia Rong crossed her legs, listened to the secret guards reporting the news of each family's response, and listened to the latest report on the situation of King An and King Yi, and smiled softly, "I didn't expect that there would be a day when I was a little bit erratic here. I didn't expect that it was King Yi who was really smart. No wonder Emperor Longqi always had a hint of contempt and disdain in his tone when he talked about King An. At first I thought it was because I was too sensitive , So it was not my illusion. After all, ginger is still old and hot, it seems that compared with Emperor Longqi, I still have something to learn."

There was a slight pause in his tone, and he continued: "By the way, inform the nails on the fourth prince's side, and tell them that they can start to act now. Be careful. After they succeed, Wu Ya, you will immediately arrange for someone to take them away." Send them off, isn't it the time when there is a shortage of people in the village of the sacrifice field in Jinling's hometown? Change their identities and get in."

"Yes, master." Wu Ya immediately nodded in response.

Afterwards, Jia Rong made a few more emphatic confessions, and then asked Wu Ya not to mention things in the past.

The fourth prince was the most scheming and tolerant, and the two of them formed a grudge again, instead of waiting for him to recover, he stretched out his hand to take revenge on himself.It's better to act first, and take advantage of this moment, the court has not completely calmed down, and it will kill him, so as not to leave unexpected troubles for himself.

There is no need to worry about the third and sixth princes. So far, although they look good, they are already useless inside.In three to five years at most, he will die and go to the Lord of Hell as a guest.Of course, this was not his hand, but the hand that Wen Renxiu asked Emperor Longqi to move before his death.But in the end it was his own son, so he couldn't strike hard, but the new emperor made up for it again.

The former ten princes and the current new emperor looked innocent and weak, but when it came to being ruthless, he was worthy of being in the same line as Emperor Longqi.It's exactly the same as Emperor Longqi's method of killing those half-brothers back then.

Not long after, I saw Zhiwen walking in with a gold-plated post in his hand, blessed his body, and said: "Master, this is an invitation post from Mr. Wang's house. It is said that the child in the house will be born next month." It's one year old, I invite the uncle to attend the full moon ceremony."

Jia Rong took the gilded post, shook it in her hand, and said, "Shouldn't things like this be handed over to the grandma in the inner courtyard?" What does it mean to send it to him?

Zhiwen was blessed again, pursed his lips and smiled: "The one who came to deliver the invitation is Wang Lu, the chief steward of the palace, who said that this invitation was written by his master himself, so it can be said that it is the only one. As for Grandma, naturally Mrs. Wang also handed over the invitation."

Hearing Zhiwen's words, Jia Rong raised her eyebrows immediately, and then looked at the bronzing invitation in her hand.But when you see the flamboyant characters above, you can't just say Wang Ziteng's handwriting. As for the content, it's not much different from what Zhiwen said just now, it's about inviting him to his son's first birthday ceremony.In addition, there are words of thanks to Jia Rong, who smiled and said: "I see. Zhiwen, you go over and tell Grandma, and ask her to prepare an extra gift when she prepares presents."

Speaking of this, it goes back to when Jia Zhen was pushed down from the restaurant by Jia Zheng, Wang Ziteng came to the mansion to intercede, and Jia Rong and Wang Ziteng made a deal.After nearly half a year of Zhiqiu's treatment, Wang Ziteng's wife, Shi Shi, finally conceived like a bead from a clam.In March last year, Shi went through labor pains for two days and one night, although Shi had a dystocia in the middle, almost killed two people.It was at this time that Wang Ziteng sent someone to invite Zhiqiu to visit the mansion, and thanks to Zhiqiu, the Shi family was able to give birth to a fat and white son smoothly.

For Wang Ziteng, who is old and has a son, he is naturally overjoyed, even happier than himself being promoted and getting rich.

I originally planned to do something for my son during the full moon, but it happened that the situation in the court was tense at that time.Wang Ziteng's mind can only be suppressed temporarily.Now everything has passed, at least the most severe time has passed smoothly.Today's first birthday ceremony, of course, has to be arranged a lot.

"Yes. The maidservant knows." Zhiwen immediately blessed Fushen and said.

For Wang Ziteng's son's first birthday, Jia Rong naturally went there with his wife Gu Qingrong.

After arriving at Wang's house, because male guests and female relatives were separated, Jia Rong naturally had to separate from Gu Qingrong here.

"Qing Rong, you don't have to worry about anything when you're inside? You don't need to deliberately hide your temperament, and don't worry about anything? I have everything." Jia Rong cleaned up the household department as early as last year. From the Ministry of Households Shangshu Gaojing down to some unnamed master registers, all the corrupt officials involved have undergone a big change.Of course, after that, Jia Rong successfully became the youngest Minister of the Household Department in the history of the Dagan Dynasty, and he was a second-rank official.

As Jia Rong's first wife, Gu Qingrong naturally became the wife of the second rank.

Logically speaking, as long as there is no wink, Gu Qingrong can only be flattered and flattered when she goes out.But in this world, there are too many people who have no eyes, no winks, and no brains.This is especially true for those members of the so-called four major families in the script.Therefore, he has to confess a few words here.

Gu Qingrong smiled and said, "Husband, do I look like someone who will be bullied?" Although she has a gentle face, it doesn't mean that her personality is also gentle and bully.But even though she said so, she still feels hot for Jia Rong's confession.

Hearing what she said, Jia Rong felt relieved.Then Guan Yan and Xi Mo were led by the servant, and walked towards the other side.

As one of the most popular courtiers nowadays, the new emperor Qianyuan Emperor must use Jia Rong's arrival, which naturally aroused the welcome of many people.Some people even looked back and forth between Jia Rong and Wang Ziteng.His eyes showed such an expression, "When did the two of them hook up together?" 'Although Wang Ziteng and Jia's family are in-laws' homes, it is Rongguo Mansion, not Ningguo Mansion.Now, no one in the entire capital knows that since Jia Zhen was pushed from the restaurant by Jia Zheng, the two houses of Ning and Rong officially broke up.On weekdays, except for a few people, there is very little communication.

After some greetings.

Jia Rong was led by Wang Ziteng and sat down.His attentive attitude made everyone even more puzzled.

Wang Ziteng's direct brother-in-law is Jia Zheng. According to the current situation of Ningrong and Rongfu, this Wang Ziteng shouldn't be on good terms with Jia Rong like this, right?

But even though they were muttering in their hearts, everyone was a good performer, and on the surface they were all calm, showing nothing unusual.

Compared with the ups and downs of Jia Rong's men's side, the women's family obviously didn't have so much thought here.

Shi Shi is now in his forties, his eldest grandson is already nine years old, and even Wang Xiyun's son Lan Geer is already six years old.At this age, he has added another son, a real old man.

When she gave birth, she also suffered a lot because of her age, and she almost died because of it.Although she has been meticulously taking care of her body for the past year, she has never stopped eating bird's nest with rock sugar every three days.But even in such a situation, her body has not been safe until now, and she is still a little weak.

But this didn't affect Shi Shi's good mood at all, especially holding the fat and white son who was born in the swaddling baby, he felt indescribably satisfied.

In Shi's room where guests were treated, all relatives came to congratulate her, even Aunt Xue, Wang's younger sister who was married to Jinling and never came back for many years, also brought her son and daughter to congratulate her.

When Gu Qingrong was led into the room by the maid, she saw that many people were already sitting in the outer room, many of whom Gu Qingrong recognized, including Wang Xiyun, Grandma Zhu of Rongguo Mansion, and Lin'an County Lord.When we met at this time, it was natural to go up and say hello one by one.But what made Gu Qingrong feel a little strange was that on such an occasion, Mrs. Wang, a direct sister, was actually missing.There are too many deep meanings in this.

At this moment, in front of Shi Shi, he saw a woman in her early forties, with a long face and soft features, wearing a smoke-gray cardigan, smiling and saying to Shi Shi: "Sister-in-law, I really congratulate you. I've been looking forward to it so much." After many years, it is finally what I wished for." This woman is the younger sister of Wang Ziteng's compatriots, Aunt Xue.

Since Shi Shi was able to beat his son, he was naturally in a good mood, so he wanted to say something.But then the servant girl raised her voice and said, "Ma'am, Grandma Rong is here."

Hearing what the servant girl said, the smile on Shi's face became even wider, and he immediately said, "Hurry up and ask Grandma Rong to come in."

The servant girl got the order, so she naturally left without mentioning it.

Although Aunt Xue has only been in the capital for a short time, she has always been in correspondence with her sister, Mrs. Wang, so she naturally knows a lot about the affairs of Ningrong and Rongfu.Of course, she also knew about Gu Qingrong.Immediately, he asked: "Sister-in-law, this grandma Rong is the wife of Brother Rong in Dongfu?"

"But it's her. Speaking of which, at this age, I can have a son. Speaking of which, I have to thank Brother Rong." Shi's words were sincere.

Although in the past, she had a good relationship with Mrs. Wang, the sister-in-law, otherwise they would not have married.It's just that following the death of his nephew and son-in-law Jia Zhu, his own daughter sent letters frequently, saying that Mrs. Wang had trained her, and she even blamed Jia Zhu's death on her head.Shi Shi already felt guilty towards Wang Xiyun, if it wasn't for her, her daughter wouldn't be living like this.Naturally, he hated Mrs. Wang in his heart.

So she naturally agreed with Wang Ziteng and Jia Rong's friendship, and even blew a lot of pillow talk.Later, Zhiqiu, who was next to Jia Rong, allowed her to have a son at this age, and she was naturally grateful to Jia Rong in her heart.

When Gu Qingrong came in, she saw Aunt Xue in front of her. Although she didn't recognize her, she understood what she called Shi Shi, and after thinking about it for a while according to her intelligence.

Greet each other.

For Aunt Xue, Gu Qingrong still has a good impression, but facing her unusually enthusiastic attitude, Gu Qingrong said that she was a little bit overwhelmed.It should be the first time she and Mrs. Xue have met, right?Why is she so enthusiastic?Besides, she and Mrs. Wang are siblings, what do you think?Even if she is not indifferent to her, shouldn't such enthusiasm be overwhelming, right?

Gu Qingrong didn't get an explanation for the question in her heart until the end of the first birthday ceremony.

If you want something from others, you can't complain about being so enthusiastic.
