Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

Jia Rong had already expected that some unsettling things might happen on her first day in the Ministry of Household Affairs, but she never thought that it would be such an uneasy way, cold reception.Just no matter what he says or does?All the officials in the household department ignored him.

Regarding this, Jia Rong only twitched the corners of her lips, saying, is it really childish?

Anyway, he didn't come here to establish a good relationship with the officials of the Household Department, but to serve as an internal response to Emperor Longqi and prepare for the new emperor's thorough clean-up of the Household Department in the future.They don't care to talk to themselves, and he doesn't care to talk to them either.It won't be long anyway.

After more than half a month like this, Jia Rong has completely adapted to the life of the household department here.

But some other people in the household department couldn't sit still.Being left alone for more than half a month like this, at his age, his personality must be somewhat affected, right?Apart from other things, his personality should be more or less irritable, right?After all, Jia Rong's temperament is not very good.

But—wow, Jia Rong is not very old, why is his mentality so good!For more than half a month, they ignored him, so why should he do what he should?Half a point was not affected.Don't tell me he has a bad temper?Why are you so calm?Since he was like this, they couldn't go to the next step.

But compared to the anxiety of these people, Jia Rong is much more at ease.During this period of time, although he has received a cold reception in the Ministry of Accounts, he has done an astonishingly large amount of work, and most of the main content is sorting out the books and account books saved over the years, or it is a part of copying. should matters.In this regard, Jia Rong said that he was completely immersed in it. He originally wanted to find an excuse to check the account books over the years.If you don't want to, someone will take the initiative to deliver it to your door.

Simply wonderful.

Jia Rong happily began to look through the account books of the accounting department within a hundred years.

This is definitely an astonishingly heavy workload. In just half a month, Jia Rong only checked the account books of the past ten years.But that's okay, anyway, he still has at least one year to complete Emperor Longqi's confession to himself.

It's just that at this moment, Jia Rong is waiting for his first step in establishing his prestige in the household department.Always want people to know that he, Jia Rong, is not someone to be trifled with.Besides, in the past few days, every time he came to the household department, those people looked at him, but he looked forward to it very much!

On this day, Jia Rong had lunch, and Shi Shi ran back to the household department.

But as soon as he stepped in, he heard a somewhat piercing voice, saying: "Master Jia is indeed worthy of being a young master from a noble family, this ostentation is much bigger than others, we are all busy here, You really like to live leisurely, it's been such a long time, so you came here leisurely."

Jia Rong followed the voice and saw a middle-aged man in his 30s wearing clothes of the same color as Jia Rong, with an acrimonious expression on his face, which made people feel a little displeased.This man was Liang Dong, who came from a poor family. He became a Jinshi at the age of 20. He was considered a young talent back then, but it was a pity that he was not born well, and such a good thing as getting a son-in-law under the list was not his turn.It was very easy to climb into a second-rate official family at that time, and married the concubine daughter of this family, but unfortunately, within two years, the whole family was demoted and confiscated.

Although Liang Dong came from a serious Jinshi background, he himself was just a nerd, ignorant, and extremely pedantic. After the Yue family was demoted and confiscated, his official career stagnated. Just sit in the head of the household department of the sixth rank like Jia Rong.

Therefore, he was envious of Jia Rong, who was born as the son of a duke, but at the same time looked down on him. He often made things difficult for Jia Rong because of his seniority.

Jia Rong is a master who can afford to eat anything, so this Liang Dong did not have any accidents and did not take advantage of the slightest.So he felt a bit of resentment towards Jia Rong in his heart.

"I remember that the law of the court stipulated that officials have a full hour of rest from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am. Now it is the first quarter of the day, and I am not late." Jia Rong pointed not far away The time funnel sand clock at the place said so.

Liang Dong was choked by Jia Rong's words, he couldn't tell Jia Rong that he was just looking for Jia Rong's trouble, right?

"My lord Jia, that's what I said. However, seeing that the household department has been quite busy recently, all the officials in the household department have never gone back to rest in order to finish the matter as soon as possible. Only Mr. Jia is different from everyone else. Although it is a rule That's it. But Mr. Jia is too arbitrary. This will not be good for your future career!" At this moment, a man in his early forties, wearing a peacock men's suit, came over with a serious expression on his face. Xiang, said this to Jia Rong.

This man's name is Jiang Li, and he is the servant of the household department. He is a third-rank official.

Jia Rong raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Master Jiang's words are not right. But no one told me that he wants to stay and do things! So, I take it for granted that there is no difference between today and the past. Now you are putting everything on me, you are really good at self-cultivation! Besides, speaking of the half a month I have been in the household department, it is thanks to your care that I have such a happy time! "This Jiang Li and Gao Jing, who is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, are of the same breed, and they are related by marriage. Jiang Li's first daughter is the first wife of Gao Jing's second son.

Most of the cold reception that Jia Rong has encountered in the past half a month in the Ministry of Household Affairs is at his behest.

Jiang Li was naturally itchy with anger at Jia Rong's rebuttal, but he also knew that he was definitely not Jia Rong's opponent when it came to eloquence, so he said angrily: "Don't be too complacent. Man is doing what God is doing." Look, you should be careful yourself, don't be caught by me? Otherwise, I won't let you go."

"In the same way, I will give it to Mr. Jiang as well. After all, Mr. Jiang has a lot of shameful things compared to a brat like me? How can I say an old saying, oh... yes, Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, the way of heaven is reincarnation, if you don’t believe me, look up, who will the sky spare?" Jia Rong looked at Jiang Li with a smile, and said so.

When Jiang Li heard Jia Rong's words, his expression became extremely ugly, and he said angrily, "Jia Rong, who are you cursing?" After all, he has done a lot of wicked things in his life.

"Who should be." Jia Rong said with a smile as if she couldn't see Jiang Li's ugly face.

"You kid, you are so arrogant. If you don't teach you a lesson, you really don't know who you are?"

"Is it because of your body hollowed out by wine?" Jia Rong said mockingly.

Jiang Li's lust is comparable to Jia She and Jia Zhen's ilk. They are all grandfathers, but they are still concubines one by one. They are all as young as seventeen or eighteen years old.Old cows eat tender grass, and he doesn't feel ashamed and panic.If it wasn't for him being the Minister of the Household Department of the third rank, if he had such a bit of power, others would not dare to talk about him, his romantic affairs would have long been the topic of after-dinner conversation in the teahouses inside and outside the capital.

"You..." Although Jiang Li was angry at Jia Rong's words, he had to admit that it was the truth.

Although Jia Rong followed a serious liberal arts path, he was born as a general. Although only his father, Jia Zhen, was left in the mansion with the false title of General Wei Lie of the third rank, he had never been to the barracks for half a day.But everyone inside and outside the capital knew that Jia Rong's skills were not bad.During the Chinese New Year, according to the rules, on the sixth day of the lunar new year, the emperor wanted to have a big banquet for the courtiers, and Jia Rong naturally went too. During the period, the emperor somehow mentioned Jia Rong. I heard that he also practiced martial arts since he was a child. Then the interest is great.So he asked one of the imperial guards beside him to make gestures with Jia Rong.

Most of those who can become imperial guards have two brushes in their hands, but this Jia Rong was defeated by Jia Rong in just a dozen moves.Although the imperial guard's kung fu is not necessarily the best, Jia Rong's ability to defeat him shows that he must have two points of kung fu in his hands.

As for himself, as Jia Rong said, he has always been pampered. Even a few years ago, his body was a little fat, and many things were already a little bit powerless.Fighting with Jia Rong is only for suffering.

"Master Jia really deserves to be from the Duke's family, and his temper is really big. Mr. Jiang just reminded you a few words. You are so unhappy that you even started arguing with Mr. Jiang. How can you respect me so much?" Doesn’t matter how humble you are, is that how your parents taught you? Oh... look at my memory, Master Jia lost his mother when he was young. Jia Zheng fell from the restaurant and became a living dead, so..."

Hubu Shangshu Gaojing, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, saw that Jia Rong's complexion became more and more ugly following Liang Dong's words, and a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes were full of murderous looks, and suddenly thought of him from accident to Hearing some things from the mouth of my incompetent young son, and seeing Jia Rong's hand touching his waist, he said something bad in his heart, so he yelled at Liang Dong: "Liang Dong, don't talk nonsense."

However, it was a bit late to remind him of this sentence.

There was a sound of "pop".

A fiery red long whip, which seemed to have eyes, hit Liang Dong's mouth fiercely and accurately.With great force, Liang Dong was knocked to the ground at once, blood stains flowed down his lips, bright red.Everyone looked at Jia Rong's move in astonishment, with trembling lips, glanced at Liang Dong who was rolling and crying on the ground, and then at Jia Rong who was rolling the long whip into his hands leisurely. I don't know what to say.

Jia Rong played with the ruby ​​at the end of the long whip, walked slowly to Liang Dong's side, and then, under the surprised eyes of everyone, stepped on Liang Dong's chest with three parts of her foot, bowed her head, and said coldly Said: "Liang Dong, it's no wonder that you have been a Jinshi for more than ten years, but you are still only a sixth-rank sesame official. Just by your mouth, you can know that your future is only mediocre. Look at it. For the sake of our colleagues, let me give you a piece of advice. When you want to please your boss in the future, remember to keep your eyes open, so that you can see clearly who can provoke and who cannot Provoking?" As he spoke, he exerted force on his feet.

It didn't matter how hard he was, but Liang Dong under his feet was in great trouble, coughing several times, and a trace of blood was still dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Jia Rong took out a brown pill out of nowhere, squeezed Liang Dong's chin hard, and the moment he opened his mouth, he pretended to slap Liang Dong and stuffed the pill in by the way.His action was so natural that no one doubted it. Taking advantage of this moment, he stuffed a medicine into Liang Dong's mouth.

After doing all this, Jia Rong lifted her feet from Liang Dong's body.

"Jia Rong, you are too presumptuous. Where do you think this is? This is the Ministry of Household Affairs, not your Ningguo Mansion, let you do whatever you want." Even though Gao Jing, Minister of the Household Department, was prepared, he was frightened by Jia Rong's actions. I jumped, I didn't expect that he would dare to attack in public, it took a long while before I realized it, and shouted sharply.

Jia Rong slowly wrapped the long whip around her waist, looked at Gao Jing, and said with a chuckle, "There are really hindsight in this world. I saw it today."

"Jia Rong, do you know what the charge is for you beating the imperial court official in full view?" Although Gao Jing didn't know who Zhuge Liang Jia Rong was talking about?But he could also tell that what Jia Rong said just now was not a good word.Immediately said angrily.

"Then do you know what kind of crime Liang Dong is for insulting the third-rank General Wei Lie and the third-rank Shuren in public? And what kind of crime is it for you to hear it clearly but not stop it?" Jia Rong was not polite. said the counter-question.

Gao Jing and the others were speechless for a while.

Jia Rong snorted coldly, walked up to an unranked chief bookkeeper and said, "Go, get two people over and carry Liang Dong up. Let's go to His Highness and argue clearly." His last sentence was To Liang Dong and Gao Jing.

There is naturally a reason why Jia Rong brought it up first.He couldn't hide the matter of beating Liang Dong in public. Instead of letting others report to Emperor Longqi, it would be better for him to take the initiative, confess clearly, and hold the initiative in his own hands.As for the pill he stuffed into Liang Dong's mouth, he was absolutely sure that no one would find out.

This is his pride as a doctor.

It is said that doctors have a parental heart, and it seems that it is not something to be proud of to apply the medical skills you have learned to this.

Cough cough... Closer to home, the little master named by Jia Rong seemed to be afraid that if he moved a little slower, Jia Rong's whip would fall on him.He quickly found another person who was also the chief bookkeeper, and was about to walk out carrying Liang Dong on the ground.

At this time, Liang Dong was undoubtedly afraid of Jia Rong, but apart from fear, he was more angry. When he heard Jia Rong say that he was going to face the saint, Liang Dong, who felt that he was a victim, pushed him away. The person who drove over to help him said angrily: "Jia Rong, I will go with you to the emperor, and we can argue clearly."

"Then please, Mr. Liang." What an idiot.

It wasn't until Jia Rong and Liang Dong disappeared that Gao Jing told Jiang Li, "Look at me, I'll look at you."I don't know how this happened?Although it was Liang Dong who spoke rudely first, it was Jia Rong who made the first move, and looking at the one on Liang Dong's face, blood flowed all over his face, it was very scary to look at.Why is he still so confident?Does he know what the crime is for beating an imperial official?

"What should we do now?" Jiang Li was a little timid. Seeing Jia Rong went to see the emperor, he was afraid that the matter of Jia Rong's cold reception in the household department would be revealed, and the emperor would blame him. He said anxiously at this time.

Although Gao Jing didn't have any great skills, he still had some cleverness, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit in the position of Minister of the Household Department.After pondering for a while, he said, "Let's go and have a look. By the way, we can also help Liang Dong when Jia Rong distorts the facts. After all, you and I have experienced Jia Rong's eloquence. If it's white, Liang Dong might not be her match."

Ever since Jiang Li got married with Gao Jing, he always relied on his opinion. Hearing this, he nodded.

As everyone knows, he almost lost the black gauze hat on his head when he followed the past to watch the excitement.
