Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Heng An couldn't help but said to Li Mo:

"Mom, why are you still preparing so many dishes today, can you stop giving us so much food in the future, we can't get fat anymore!"

Although Jia Zong didn't have the guts to say that to Li Mo directly like Hengan, he also nodded in agreement and added:

"That's right, and the master said that if we want to take the imperial examination in the future, we still need to pay attention to our image, we can't keep getting fat like this!"

What happened today? Why did they all come to protest with him? Li Mo said helplessly:

"It's not as exaggerated as what you said. You see, I eat more than you, but I don't see how fat I am. You are just fine now, not fat at all!"

Seeing that they were still protesting, Li Mo had no choice but to let them use the tonic soup that he told Jia She just now to exercise instead of his own, and said that if they did not agree to exercise, he would give them every day. Send food and soup!

Threatened by Li Mo, Hengan and Jia Zong had no choice but to agree to exercise more on weekdays. Who told them to have nothing to do with the stubborn Li Mo!

Seeing how they struggled with the delicious food, Li Mo secretly laughed in his heart, their appearance was so funny!

At dinner time, Li Mo ate the most among the group of people. Watching Li Mo eat two big bowls of rice, and more than half of the dishes on the table, Heng An and the others secretly ate one bowl with themselves. Portion, secretly wiped my face in my heart, it seems that for my mother/wife, they really don't eat much!

After a few of them finished their dinner, Jia Amnesty took Heng An and the others to the study to check their homework during this time.

After seeing them all gone, Li Mo looked bored at the already dark sky outside, and the light was not good at night, so it was really inconvenient to read or embroider.

The sky in June is very hot during the day, but at night, the dark sky looks extraordinarily deep, but it is still a bit hot. Li Mo sat on the soft top of the house and looked out into the sky. Looking at it, the long and short chirps of summer insects can be heard from the trees around the yard from time to time.

While fanning Li Mo with a fan, Xiaoyin said:

"Even though there is an ice basin in Ma'am's room, it still feels quite hot. I heard that there is a drought in many places outside!"

Li Mo said a little strangely: "The weather seems to be a little hot recently, why is it so serious outside?"

Xiaomei, who was waiting on the side, was the most well-informed. Hearing the madam's question, she told the news she had learned, saying:

"I heard that there are many refugees moving to the surrounding towns on the Hexi side of Hebei. Even the capital has recently seen a lot of foreign people pouring in! The yamen are now under martial law!"

Seeing how the weather has been so good recently, Li Mo couldn't imagine a drought in Hebei.

But even if there is a severe drought or other serious natural disasters*, there is no apocalyptic horror that Li Mo experienced before. At least they still have a place to hide, and if they work hard, they can get a bite to eat!

Li Mo also sighed and said:

"Didn't the imperial court send people to go to the disaster? There are too many refugees, but there will be trouble."

"The imperial court sent people to Hebei before, but I heard that the local officials embezzled the relief food, causing a lot of people to die there, selling their sons and daughters, and even the scene of changing sons to eat. It's shocking!"

While talking about the news she got from the outside, Xiaomei rejoiced in her heart. She used to think that being a commoner has freedom and dignity, which is much better than being sold as a slave. The benefits of people.

At least as long as I don’t violate the rules of my master’s family, my life is still guaranteed. It’s better than the peace of mind outside. The civilians say they are free, but they have no one to rely on. Anyone can bully and humiliate anyone. Those people can't help it!

Li Mo and the others were astonished. They didn't expect such a drought to happen. It seems that farmers in this era really have no guarantees!

No wonder everyone wants to climb up and get a good way out through the imperial examinations. If Li Mo doesn't have space for himself, he will probably be the same as them!

Not long after such a comfortable life, news came from Jiangnan that Zhen's house had been ransacked!

Mother Jia was taken aback when she heard the news. One must know that the Jia Mansion and the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River are old relatives.

Hearing this news suddenly, Mother Jia and the others were a little panicked and anxious. They secretly sent people to inquire about it, and contacted the relatives and old friends, only to know something vaguely.

As for this vague news, if it weren't for the fact that everyone has known each other for so many years, most of them would remain in a state of being unspeakable!

Jia's mother went to Rongqing Hall to discuss the ransacking of Zhen's house with Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and Jia Lian next door.

Although everyone was very sympathetic to the ransacking of the Zhen family and wanted to help the Zhen family, but considering that the Jia family decided to avoid it in the end, if someone asked or brought it up, they would try to keep silent as much as possible.

However, for a family as big as the Zhen family, if they ransacked the house, they ransacked the house. This kind of ending still made the people of Jia's family feel a little terrified. The emperor's grace is really too immeasurable!

For a while, he kept his attitude to the Holy Majesty secret, and became much more respectful.

More than a month later, an angel suddenly came to the mansion to promulgate Jia Zheng's decree to be transferred to Jiangxi Liangdao in other provinces and take office immediately.

Jia Zheng was suddenly reassigned to Jiangxi Liangdao, another province, and had to leave Beijing to take up his post. The people in the mansion were confused by the sudden news and didn't know what to do to react.

Because the transfer order was issued in a hurry, as long as Jia's mansion had time to ask people to go outside to inquire about it, it was only because the higher ups valued Jia Zheng that they let him go to Beijing to take up the post, and there was no problem!

It's just that the person who arranged to take up the post with Jia Zheng this time made Jia's mother worry for a while. Mrs. Wang must stay and do her filial piety for Jia's mother on behalf of Jia Zheng.

Then we must arrange for someone who serves Jia Zheng to accompany him to take up the post!

Mrs. Wang is not willing to ask Aunt Zhao to accompany Jia Zheng. When the time comes to go to a place so far away from the capital, wouldn't Aunt Zhao trap Jia Zheng's heart!

If it weren't for the reliability of my natal family and the birth of several promising children, I don't know where I would have been squeezed into by that pious person Jia Zheng.

Now that Jia Zheng's heart is already leaning towards Aunt Zhao's vicious girl, if she is given a chance to get along with Jia Zheng for a while, when Jia Zheng returns to Beijing, Aunt Zhao will not have to give birth to another lowly son or two to deal with it myself!

If no one arranges to follow Jia Zheng to the post, Mrs. Wang is afraid that when Jia Zheng comes back, she will bring a few beauties back to make arrangements for herself. Instead of letting in unfamiliar women, she should use someone she knows well. follow along!

After much deliberation, Mrs. Wang decided to let Aunt Zhou follow Jia Zheng to the post. At least Aunt Zhou would not be able to give birth, and even if Jia Zheng liked her, she would not be able to go anywhere!

In addition to those who need to serve Jia Zheng, people outside also have to see what he plans to bring there. Mrs. Wang asked Jia Zheng what she meant—arranged two servants around him who could advise him to go there together, and then some Healthy servants, mother-in-law, and servants.

On the day when Jia Zheng left, Jia Amnesty and Li Mo all came to practice for him. Mother Jia was even more reluctant to part with this little son who had always loved her so much. It would take so much hardship to go to such a far place!

How could my own Zheng'er endure this kind of suffering, but unfortunately the emperor's life is too difficult, so Jia's mother can only be ruthless and send more people to take care of Jia Zheng, hoping that he will be more comfortable in office!

This is the second time for Jia Zheng to go out to work. After so many years, he did not expect to be trusted by his superiors in this life. Jia Zheng thought that he would grow old as a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Industry.

This time, Jia Zheng has the expectation of the whole government, hoping that he can do a good job in his post, and if he does well, he will be promoted back to Beijing, so that Jia's family can also have someone who can support them in the court, instead of just blindly The test of in-laws and the empress in the palace.

Jia Amnesty was a little surprised and uncertain about Jia Zheng's sudden transfer this time. You must know that you hadn't heard any news before, so why did you suddenly transfer to another post?

Jia Amnesty does not know about others, but Jia Amnesty is clear about Jia Zheng's ability. Jia Zheng usually does his idle job in the Ministry of Industry, and is watched by all the relatives and friends of Jia's mansion, so nothing can happen. Big trouble!

But when he is in office, with Jia Zheng's ability, some disasters are likely to happen, and he still doesn't know how to deal with it?

But Jia Amnesty's current title is also an idle job, he can go to the court or not, and he has no real rights, and he can't do anything about these things, so he can only hope in his heart that Jia Zheng's appointment will have a good result this time.
