Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Jia Zheng retired the engagement for no reason, and the Li family was a dignified family. The Guozijian sacrificed wine, and there were many old students. Although the divorce was low-key, it finally spread. The good name has also cast a shadow over it.

In contrast, Jia Hu's life is much more comfortable. Everyone knows that the chief house and the second house of the Rongguo Mansion have been separated for many years. With the Jiangnan corruption case, the imperial court became a mess. Perhaps it is a bit inappropriate to say this, but talents can often seize opportunities. The more chaotic, the more they are in their prime.

Jia Hu is such a talent who is good at seizing opportunities.

No one noticed at first, but when everyone noticed, Jia Hu had already had a heated fight with the people from the Ministry of War, and got in touch with the people from the Ministry of Households. No one knew about the old man who came up, Xiuzhuan who came from a noble background in the Hanlin Academy, how did Jia Hu get along well with both sides?It's just that looking at people who have a lot of money, I can't help feeling a little bit acid in my heart. It's simply that Jia Hu usually knows how to behave and is popular, but no one has ever criticized him.

Only those with bright eyes and a clear understanding of Jia Hu can somewhat guess his intentions.

Liu Yiyong is a doctor in the household department. He is in charge of money and food. He has been in the household department for eight years. He has taken care of everything and is reliable in his work. It is only because he is not a Jinshi, but a Mingjing, but he has been promoted for a long time. , the heart will be gray.He has a low official position. Although he is in charge of money and food, there is a lot of oil and water, but there is still a Ling Shi in charge of him. Even if someone asks for something, he will never get his turn.It is rare for someone to make friends with him on weekdays.

However, Jia Hu is an editor of the Hanlin Academy, and the prominent and noble children have been getting acquainted with him recently through excuses.

This is not to say that Jia Hu seems to have bad intentions, making Liu Yiyong very defensive. On the contrary, Jia Hu is a very nice person, kind and unassuming, and he treats people well. Liu Yiyong quickly regards people as good friends and gets acquainted stand up.Because of this, Liu Yiyong was very curious about Jia Hu's purpose when he approached him. Half of it was simply to understand and satisfy his curiosity, and the other half was to help him.

The big man does things straightforwardly. Since we are friends, there is nothing bad to say.

Liu Yiyong has worked in the Ministry of Households for so many years, and he is also a veteran in the officialdom. Although his official position is low, he has a lot of scheming. Thinking of Jia Hu's old run to the Ministry of War, he has some thoughts in his heart, but he always thinks it is impossible. Only then did he not speak.But today when Jia Hu invited him to dinner, Liu Yiyong couldn't help it after a few cups of yellow soup: "I said Zifang, don't you want to go to the army to supervise the military documents?"

Throughout the dynasties, there have always been some conflicts between civil and military officials, sometimes sharp and sometimes peaceful, but it is undeniable that there have never been fewer problems among them.Civil officials can't get used to military officials being careless and vulgar, and military officials can't see civil officials being sour, fake, vinegary and dignified.Everyone in the world regards reading as the highest grade. The so-called everything is inferior, and only reading is high. Even the military officer himself hopes that the next generation will read more books.Everyone thinks that civil servants are more noble than military officials.In the DPRK, civil servants also hold greater power.

Take the simplest example of sending troops to fight. When a large army goes out, in addition to generals, the imperial court will also send civilian officials such as supervising troops, documents, and masters. Why?It is to supervise the military attache outside.It seems that the grade is not high, but it is a position that directly pinches the throat of the army.

But having said that, the imperial court dispatched troops, such a serious military event, unless it was in the era of subjugation, and the errands such as supervising military documents, that is, for good looks, it is absolutely impossible for them to really affect the normal operation of the army, on the contrary , because life in the army is hard, such a position is generally shunned by civilian officials.

That's why Liu Yiyong is so strange. With Jia Hu's status, his future in the Imperial Academy doesn't need to ask for trouble at all, so he goes to the military camp?

Jia Hu really didn't expect Liu Yiyong to guess his novelty, he was surprised for a while, and then smiled: "Brother Liu really has bright eyes, I can't hide this little thought from you." He has never hidden his own The intention is that no one has ever confronted him face to face. Jia Hu wanted to go to the barracks to make plans. Now that I think about it, it seems that he said it in front of Tu Youhao. "To tell you the truth, brother Liu, I do have this plan, little brother, to go to the barracks to train myself."

Liu Yiyong might as well have guessed that it was true, and he couldn't help being surprised: "Zifang, why do you have such an idea? With your ability, you can stay in the Imperial Academy for a few years before letting go of a foreign post. Don't worry about it. It is also bright. Entering the military camp is different. Even if you are a supervising military document, you don’t need to face the battlefield directly. , it is incomparable with the outside world, and it will be even more difficult when it comes to war." In the words, Jia Hu was really not very optimistic.

Liu Yiyong has been in the household department for many years. He is in charge of money and food. He is naturally very clear about the annual expenditure of food, grass and supplies in the army. But in time for the battle, a large number of soldiers were conscripted into the army, food and grass were limited, and less was distributed to each person. To catch up with battlefield accidents, food and grass could not be delivered on time, and fresh vegetables were difficult to arrive... the siege At that time, it was not uncommon for soldiers to drink only one meal of gruel a day.

How can a nobleman like Jia Hu endure such hardship?Liu Yiyong is really doing it for his own good.

Jia Hu is naturally grateful for his heart, but his desire for the battlefield is the eagerness he had as a son of the Yang family in his previous life. Even if he changes his body now, his love for the battlefield has not changed a bit.

Jia Hu solemnly poured a glass of wine for Liu Yiyong, as an apology for him: "It's my brother's fault for intentionally getting close to Brother Liu, so I'm going to compensate you here. It's just my brother, but I really want to learn the method of money and food management from Brother Liu, in order to It will be useful in the army in the future." Seeing Liu Yiyong's doubtful face, Jia Hu smiled and said, "Brother Liu must be strange, my younger brother is a son of a noble family, why does he insist on going to the army? Speaking of which, it's just an obsession of my younger brother. .”

Yin explained to him: "Little brother was born in the Rongguo Mansion, and brother Liu also knows it. My little brother often heard his grandfather regret when he was young. There is no successor in the Rongguo Mansion. It was originally a military merit title, but the descendants have no one to inherit the family business... ...The younger brother is not talented, but as the eldest grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, his ancestors regretted it, but he couldn't ignore it. He also learned some boxing skills when he was young, and he wanted to go to the army to experience the hard work of his ancestors. Serve the country and talk with all your heart!"

When Liu Yiyong heard it, he couldn't say anything. He was determined to inherit the ancestral business, so he couldn't stop it?what does that look likeIt's just that he couldn't help being surprised and said: "Zi Fang, have you ever studied martial arts?"

Jia Hu smiled: "It's just some flamboyant tricks to fool laymen."

Seeing him like this, Liu Yiyong knew what he was doing. Jia Hu was used to being modest, but now that he said this, his martial arts could not be called a master, and he would not be bad at all.Now that he has made up his mind, Liu Yiyong, as a friend, is naturally willing to help: "To put it bluntly, the management of money and food is still an errand for the accountant. I don't know how good the nine chapters of the ovary are. If you know these things, you will learn quickly."

Jia Hu raised his glass again to thank him: "Then please trouble Brother Liu."

After the main business is finished, the rest is about relaxed and leisurely topics. Jia Hu is a talkative person. From money and food income from various places to Ming Jing Jinshi imperial examinations, to human relations, restaurant food is good or bad, two people drink a cup of yellow soup, It can be said that the host and guest had a good time, and when it was too late, they broke up and left. With Jia Hu's good drinking capacity, he was a little drunk, and he walked for a while. After all, he couldn't bear it. The chicken soup was steaming, which made people feel at ease when looking at it. Jia Hu asked the boss to bring a bowl, and drank half a bowl of soup first, so that his heart felt more comfortable.Another bite of Chaos, it was delicious, and the frown was slightly loosened.

"Boss's chaos is really good." Jia Hu couldn't help but praise the middle-aged boss, "Even in restaurants, it's rare to see such delicious chaos."

The middle-aged boss was very honest and honest. Hearing Jia Hu's praise, his eyes were narrowed with a smile, but he didn't know what to say, he just smiled smirkly: "Where is the customer joking, I behaved chaotically, How can it compare with the ones in the restaurant?"

Seeing the honesty of the boss, Jia Hu couldn't help chuckling, but the lady boss who was packing up next to her came out, gave her man a look, and smiled at Jia Hu: "Your guests are used to good food, it's rare to see it." The chaos of our stall, the little woman also said a few words, our stall has been in business for three generations, since my father, I have set up a stall here. Everyone on this street knows my old Li's The chaos is good, the goods are genuine, and the best ingredients are used. The soup is made of the best bone soup and chicken soup. It is not as good as the rare and precious ingredients in restaurants, but it is also fresh. To be honest, our stall is very good. Chaos, deserve your praise!" He said with a proud smile on his face.

The boss pulled the lady boss and said in a low voice with a blushing face, "If the guest is polite, you'll be babbling."

The proprietress glared at her fiercely: "What's the matter, do you think I've said too much? The chaos in our stall is already good, who doesn't know, I said something wrong?"

The boss had no power to fight back, and hurriedly retreated: "What you said is true, what you said is true, am I afraid that the guests will be annoyed? You, just say a few words less."

The proprietress snorted, "You're the one talking!" Then she smiled and apologized to Jia Hu, "Little lady is ignorant, so I won't disturb you here." She went to get another bowl and scooped up half a bowl of soup Send it to Jia Hu's table, "The guest has just had a bar? The soup here is the sweetest, and it's perfect for hangover!" After saying that, he walked away to help the boss go down the chaos and collect money.

Jia Hu looked at the bowl of soup, the top of which had been skimmed off with oil, took a sip, it was warm, and his limbs immediately felt comfortable, very comfortable.Jia Hu looked at the proprietress and his wife, and smiled unconsciously. Of these two couples, one was dull and the other was clever, but they were standing in front of the stall. As soon as the proprietor stretched out his hand, the proprietress knew that they wanted green onions and noodles. The food was handed over, and others wanted to pay after they finished eating. The boss hurriedly called the lady boss to go, and he took over the work in front of the lady boss without any hassle. feel comfortable.

Just because of this warmth, I have to be stingy with the bowl of soup from the proprietress.He took out an ingot of silver from his pocket and put it on the table. Looking at the eyes of the proprietress, Jia Hu was about to say something, but the boss foolishly stabbed his wife in front of him. It made Jia Hu hear clearly: "Mistress, look, it's a big piece of silver!"

The proprietress was so angry that she slashed at him, apologizing to Jia Hu: "My man is a bit stupid, so don't care about the guests like him."

Jia Hu threw down the money: "Since it's a reward for you, I won't take it back. You have done a good job in Chaos, and the proprietress can also do business. This is my reward." Turning around to leave, I can still hear the proprietress talking for a long time. Thank you all the time: "Thank you, guest officer, thank you, guest officer!"

Jia Hu thought about the tacit understanding and warmth between the proprietress and his wife, and for some reason, Tu Youhao's figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and after calculation, the person who had the most like-mindedness with him in this world seemed to be his good friend up.Between each other, there is no need for words at all, just a look, and you can know what the other person is thinking.

I don't know, how is he doing in Jiangnan now?
