An old lady's life

Yujia set off from Yuquan Mountain around Chen in the morning, and because of the huge frame, he didn't arrive in the capital until mid-afternoon.The first time Emperor Changping sat on the imperial chariot was not thinking about a major event in the court, the closer he got to the capital, the more serious his expression was.

Wang Wei just served the emperor with tea and water, and occasionally glanced at the emperor secretly, most of the time he kept his eyes down and did not dare to look up.

This will be when the sun is hot, and Wang Wei feels sweat dripping from his forehead, and beads of sweat can be seen on the emperor's face, but the emperor is sitting upright, as if enjoying the warm sun in spring.

"Wang Wei, open the curtain." Emperor Changping's sudden order did not catch Wang Wei off guard, and he quickly opened the light blue curtain on the window next to him.

I saw that the imperial chariot was entering the city, and there was no one else entering and leaving the city gate except for the imperial chariot.The last time Yujia left Beijing, the soldiers stopped the people who were about to enter the city hundreds of meters away, and now there is no one going in or out.

Emperor Changping frowned, Wang Wei didn't know what the emperor was thinking, the people should stay away when the emperor travels.After entering the city, I saw no one on the road from the gate of the city to the palace, and the houses on the street seemed extraordinarily lonely in the afternoon. Suddenly, there was a cicada chirping from the big tree next to me, and I felt a little bit of anger.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Changping summoned all the courtiers after washing up in the bedroom.The number of ministers who went back to Beijing with them decreased by a quarter, and the ministers who stayed in Beijing had already been waiting, and immediately entered the palace upon hearing the emperor's summons.

As the emperor handled court affairs normally, this intangible information spread outward. Apart from brothels, teahouses and restaurants on the streets have resumed normal operations. Shops are open for business. Small vendors set up stalls one after another.

The Lin family also returned to Beijing with Yu Jia, Lin Hai went to work normally, but he didn't get any question from the emperor after entering the palace for several days, he just put down the memorial and left.

After about a few days like this, King Su and the crown prince had been in mourning for seven days. On the second day, many people woke up early in the morning and were shocked by what happened in the palace.

In the front and back palaces, the emperor issued several imperial decrees in succession in the early court, concubine Liu Guifei was made a concubine, and she was ordered to eat fast and chant Buddha, and pray for Sujun king and prince.At the same time, Concubine Liu's natal family cut off the title of Marquis Liqing, the uncle of Sujun King, and the official positions of all the men in the Liu family. Originally, the Liu family was the mansion of the Eight Great Kingdoms, which was as famous as the Rongguo Mansion, and the title of Marquis was handed down to Concubine Liu's elder brother. After being pushed to the end for the first time, he completely became an ordinary wealthy household in Beijing.

However, the title of King Sujun was passed on to his son, and it was also inherited by the original noble.

As for the prince, Emperor Changping did not make any written reprimand. The imperial decree was to confer the eldest son of the prince as the king of Yijun, and ordered the Ministry of Industry and Dianzhong Province to supervise the construction of a palace. The family members all moved out of the palace to live in the Prince's Mansion in Yijun.

For King Xiangjun and King Gongjun, the emperor just ordered them to contemplate their mistakes behind closed doors, and there was no specific deadline for when it would end.

Concubine Chen Xian and Concubine Zhou De were reprimanded by the emperor, fined for one year, and the power in the harem was taken back.In order to better manage the harem, He Zhaoyi, the concubine of the Eighth Emperor's son and mother, was promoted to Concubine Hui, and worked with Concubine Zhen to handle all matters in the harem.

Every household in Beijing is discussing the imperial decree. Unexpectedly, this time, the biggest winner is actually the eighth prince's family. Concubine Hui is lucky.

There is also Concubine Zhen, who used to be just a transparent concubine in the harem, but this time she was brought before everyone's eyes, and the Zhen family also rose.Concubine Zhen, who had been married into the Prince's Mansion of Xiangjun for more than two years, was in the spotlight for a while. Originally, she relied on her to give birth to a son, and she was also the position of concubine. This time, the king of Xiangjun was reprimanded by the emperor, and the palace of Xiangjun was implicated. It seemed that the king of Xiangjun wanted to take advantage of Concubine Zhen and Concubine Zhen, so the princess of Xiangjun had to avoid her edge temporarily.Of course, this is something.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is less than ten days away. The original reunion festival, this year there is no trace of celebration in Beijing, and Emperor Changping seems to have forgotten it. When Concubine Hui and Concubine Zhen mentioned it together, he was still a little dazed.

"This year's Mid-Autumn Festival will not be held. I will order the Imperial Dining Room to make some moon cakes, and I will reward some of the ministers." Changping Emperor said flatly after recovering.

Concubine Hui and Concubine Zhen respectfully agreed. After the two left, Emperor Changping stared at the sky in a daze until Wang Wei woke him up. He looked over and saw the seventh son, eighth son, and ninth son standing at the door. .

King Zhaojun, King Qin and the Ninth Prince were sent by Emperor Changping to escort the coffins of the crown prince and King Sujun into the imperial mausoleum. It took three days to go back and forth, and they came back to the palace to meet their errands.

The Ninth Prince is 15 years old this year, and it is time to choose a concubine and get married next year, and now he is on business with his brothers.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the royal family is not good for banquets, and it is not easy for families in Beijing to commit crimes against the wind, but every family closes their doors to enjoy a sumptuous reunion banquet.

In Rong Mansion, after nightfall, the dining room of Rongxi Hall had a table of sumptuous meals, and the whole family sat together happily. Of course, Mrs. Zhang had already ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of delicious food for Mr. An.

Jia She glanced at the table, took a deep breath and smelled the aroma of the food, then let out a breath, and said, "There are still seventeen days." There was a dreamy expression on his face.

Jia Zheng and other adults naturally knew that Jia Amnesty was saying that the Rong Mansion will be filial piety next month, and after the filial piety, the Rong Mansion will be able to communicate freely in Beijing and China.

Jia Zhu stared wide-eyed and asked curiously, "Uncle, is there still seventeen days to go?"

Jia She frowned and smiled at his nephew, then said, "It's time for Pearl to eat meat."

Jia Zhu was a little taken aback, eating meat?He looked at the dishes on the table, what is meat?Is it tasty?Forgive Jia Zhu, he looks five years old this year, he was still young when his grandfather passed away, and he has no memory at all, let alone the taste of meat.

Hongye couldn't help laughing, "Oh, we Zhu'er don't know what it's like to eat meat anymore."

Jia Hu pursed his lips and chuckled, he remembered, but his body was too weak before, his diet was always light, the taste of meat was similar to that of peanut oil and rapeseed oil, he didn't feel any difference.

Jia Lian sat in his exclusive rocking cart, which Hongye asked a carpenter to make, and patted the table heavily with his hand. "Eat, eat!" The milk's voice was louder, so the vicious look really made people feel extremely cute.

Jia She's eyes widened, and he stretched out his hand as if to pinch his son's little cheek hard, "I know how to eat all day long, be careful to eat like a pig."

Jia Lian turned her head and bared her teeth at her father, then turned and took her mother's hand to point to the mooncakes on the plate in front of her, "Mother, I want to eat mooncakes."

Zhang smiled and took a piece of mooncake from the plate in front of her, then put it on her own plate, smashed it into a few small pieces with chopsticks, and then fed a piece to Jia Lian. Jia Lian immediately looked like a hamster, with his mouth bulging, as if he was eating delicious food from the world. .

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Jia She, Jia She understood, and immediately took a piece of moon cake, divided it into three pieces, and gave one piece to the mother and eldest son, and one piece to him.

Jia Zheng and the others on the opposite side did the same. They received two small pieces of mooncakes from their two sons on Hongye's plate.

This Mid-Autumn Festival feast, Rong Mansion started like this. In the past, there were a lot of rules in Rong Mansion, and they were very particular. The female relatives eat with the female relatives, and the elders usually eat in their own yard. Only after the red leaves came, did they become a family. People having dinner together.With such a big table, the first room and the second room each sit on one side, and everyone eats the food in front of them, and they don't know how to stretch their chopsticks to the opposite side, so apart from some discomfort at the beginning, they have adapted after three years.

Another five days have passed, and it has entered the second half of August. The weather has begun to slow down, and the temperature is obviously not as hot as before.

On this day, Jia Amnesty was taking two housekeepers, accountants, a group of servants, and nuns and maidservants to check the warehouse, because it was time to pay back the debts owed to the national treasury.In addition to Changping’s 19 debt repayment in June, Changping’s 20th year was delayed for about a month, and the debt repayment was at the beginning of July this year. In particular, Jia Amnesty didn't think about adding trouble to the household department.It's just that it's useless if you don't pay back the filial piety immediately.

After Jia Amnesty counted out 10 taels from the warehouse, the 10 taels consisted of three types: banknotes, gold, and silver.He tucked the bank notes into his sleeves, and asked his attendants and servants to carry the boxes containing gold and silver into the carriage, then jumped into the carriage, and the carriage went straight to the household department.

The Ning Mansion's debts this year have already been replaced, and Jia Amnesty is still thinking about it, so it has been delayed until now.

The Hubu has been busy for a month, and the arrival of Jia Amnesty has left the Hubu Shangshu and others in a fog. After Jia Amnesty explained the purpose of coming, the Hubu Shangshu suddenly realized.

"Master Jia came to pay back the money. This is a good thing, a good thing, haha." After finishing speaking, he patted an official next to him who lowered his head to settle the accounts, "Don't make it up, it's been so long anyway, it's not bad. It will be half a minute. Go find the account book that records the Rongguo Mansion, and finish the business of Mr. Jia before we talk about it."

Don't look at Mr. He's state of depression, but he is not to mention how excited he is.

Because the household department has made a lot of money this month, and waiting for the emperor's order to sell the property obtained from the raid, the treasury will get a lot of money again. Thinking of the emperor's worries, he is not afraid that the treasury will run out of money in recent years.

The household department was already busy, so Jia Amnesty didn't plan to stay for long, so he left after finishing his work.

As an official of the household department, Zhang Yang is naturally one of the busy ones. He is so busy that he has no time to settle accounts with Jia She, let alone practice in the training ground.

There are many officials in the household department, so naturally the household department occupies a lot of space. The first two times when Jia She came to the household department to pay back the money, I really didn’t meet the third brother-in-law. It's a matter of business, and as Jia She's uncle, Zhang Yang wants to avoid suspicion.

Zhang Yang didn't intend to intervene this time, he just came over to say hello to Jia She, and Jia She saw Zhang Yang with a smile on his face.

"Jia Enhou, when will we have a practice session?" Zhang Yang walked into Jia She, put his hand on Jia She's shoulder, and the Minister of the Household Department was still a little curious: "Zi Feng, are you familiar with Mr. Jia? "

Zhang Yang, whose name is Zifeng, heard that he was inspired after viewing the maple leaves. What kind of style would the purple maple leaves be?

The subordinate of the Minister of the Household Department next to him laughed: "My lord, Mr. Jia is Zifeng's brother-in-law, why don't you know him well?"

Hubu Shangshu suddenly realized, and slapped himself on the head suddenly: "Look at my memory, I always forget things."

Jia Amnesty was not guilty at all when he heard Zhang Yang's words, instead he smiled and said, "Master Shangshu just called me Enhou. I haven't seen third brother for a long time. Seeing how busy Master Shangshu and Lord Zhou are, you are not busy, third brother." Is it?" There is still time to chat with him, so it can be seen that he is really not busy.

For a while, the Minister of the Household Department couldn't tell whether Jia She's words were good words or a complaint against Zhang Yang.Could it be that there is no harmony between this brother-in-law and sister-in-law?

"Busy, why aren't you busy? Everyone in the household department is busy, but there is still time for this."

Jia Amnesty nodded emphatically: "Those who are able work harder, but you still have to combine work and rest. Lord Shangshu and Lord Zhou, you should take care of your health. Of course, the third brother should also take care of your health. You are all capable ministers of the court. But I can't do without you."

Lord Shangshu was very relieved when he heard it, who said that the officials of the household department only know how to care about everything in one world all day long, without them, would the disaster relief money and military pay that were sent out in the past years fall from the sky?It's not what they saved.

"Enhou's words are too big, we just did our duty."

Zhang Yang couldn't figure out what Jia She wanted to do, so he didn't speak for a while, Jia She laughed again: "But Lord Shangshu is no younger than young people, like Lord Zhou and my third brother, they are young, full of energy, and can serve as ministers. My lord can share some things, so that Lord Shang Shu will be much more relaxed."

Hubu Shangshu felt that what Jia She said was very interesting. Could it be that he wanted to win favor for his uncle in front of him?For the sake of Jia Amnesty being so lovable, it's not a bad idea.

No, Jia Amnesty just wanted to make Third Uncle busy!

Now Mr. Zhou and the others have counted the gold and silver brought by Jia Amnesty, plus 5 taels of silver bills, a total of 10 taels.

Jia Amnesty signed it, took back the original 40 taels of IOU, tore it up immediately, wrote another 30 taels of IOU, and then left under the watchful eyes of the officials of the household department.

Next, the household department continued to count property and keep accounts. Originally, Zhang Yang could leave work around You hour, but because of the favor of Master Shangshu, he worked overtime until Xushizheng. It was completely dark before leaving the household department. When he returned home, he was tired. They didn't even want to open it, and went to bed after eating dinner and taking a hasty bath, so they didn't remember to ask Jia Amnesty to settle the score.

At this time, Jia She was still reading in the study. After reading the Laws of the Great Phoenix for three years, he was really reluctant to put it down for a while. Jia She couldn't help but wonder if he had already fallen in love with the Laws of the Great Phoenix?Yaoshou, he is not the bookworm like the second child, how could he like reading?

I just passed the exam this month, I wonder if my mother will take the exam again next month?No, he should worry about what title the emperor will give him?If it was a marquis, he would be very happy, if it was acceptable to an earl, and if it was a first-class general, he would first have to think about how he offended the emperor, to be demoted three ranks in a row?

For a while, Jia She was worried about gains and losses, but he didn't show it in front of his mother and wife.

The whole month of August is over, and the turmoil brought about by the prince and King Su has almost subsided. The officials who were involved in the prince's rebellion have all been sentenced. However, there are no officials involved in iron ore, weapons, or reselling weapons to the barbarians. The most important thing is the whole family. Exile, at least part of the family property will be returned, and the fame and fame will be released, but all the people will be released.Officials involved in digging iron ore and selling weapons to Hu people were all beheaded for public display, and their family members served as Yeting or Jiaofang Division.

Then Jia Amnesty's big phoenix regulations were not in vain, and the matter of aligning the frames was really difficult.In order to prevent Qi framing from pretending to be sick, the Ministry of Criminal Justice did ask the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital to make a diagnosis when reviewing Qi framing, and concluded that Qi framing was indeed paralyzed and his throat was damaged. It can also be relieved, and the recovery is good, it may not be impossible to recover.

However, Jia Amnesty paid no less than 3000 taels back and forth, and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment had no choice but to write the truthful approval.On August 29, the approval of the Ministry of Criminal Justice came before the emperor's case.

Emperor Changping read the book carefully, "Wang Wei, who is Qi Jia? Why is this name so familiar?"

"My Majesty, Qi Zhu is the eldest son-in-law of Rong Guogong who went first." Wang Wei walked over from the window, pretending to think for a moment before saying, in fact, he had already heard about Qi Zhu.

"The son-in-law who digs the corner of Yue's family? Hehe, he is really a good son-in-law that Jia Daishan has chosen from thousands of people." Emperor Changping sneered, and sighed again, "That old man Jia Daishan sometimes misunderstood."

Wang Wei smiled slightly and did not reply to the emperor's words. Emperor Changping was silent for a moment, then with a swipe of a pen, wrote the punishment for aligning the frame on the booklet.

Putting down the notebook, Emperor Changping asked again: "How is Ning Guogong?" Every two or three months when Emperor Changping thought of Jia Daishan, he would ask about Jia Daihua's situation.

"The imperial physician said that Ning Guogong has less than two years to live." The imperial physician has been treating him for so many years, and every year he said that the cure is not good, and he can live for a longer period of time with good medicine, but Jia Daihua is still alive tenaciously, It's just that this time the imperial doctor said that no matter what good medicine, it doesn't have any effect.

Emperor Changping sighed again: "I am old, I will not live forever."

Wang Wei immediately knelt down and looked panicked: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. You are the Son of Heaven. You have done so many good things for the people of the world. Naturally, you will last forever."

"Okay, I know your kindness." Emperor Changping couldn't help laughing. For thousands of years, Wang Wei's flattery made people happy.

The memorial of the Ministry of Punishment returned to the Ministry of Punishment that afternoon, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment did not show up. He sent a fifth-rank official from the Ministry of Punishment to announce the decree, and someone from the Ministry of Punishment had secretly sent someone to inform Jia She, and of course some people were also sent to the Ministry of Punishment. The Qi family reported the letter and asked the Qi family to come and pick him up quickly.

Qi Framezai knew that he was just dismissed by the emperor, and he was fined 5000 taels of silver and released him, he couldn't imagine it.It was just that while he was happy, there was another panic in his heart. His throat seemed to be unable to speak, and his hands and feet were no longer as vigorous as before. The female doctor said that the medicine could not be broken, so he entered the punishment department, and the medicine rebounded after the medicine was broken. ?

After the people sent by the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrived at Qi's house, Jia Siyao immediately took the silver ticket and set up a carriage with the housekeeper to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to pick up the Qi frame. The three generations of the Qi family were unable to take the imperial examination, and she knew it was because of the help of her natal family.

Jia Amnesty gave a red envelope to the person who came to tip off the news, and it cost another 50 taels. Please allow him a little bit of heartache.Before thinking about getting back from Qi Zhuang, now that I think about it, I'm afraid I won't come back. The Qi family paid the fine, Qi Zhuan will have no salary in the future, and will rely on Jia Siyao's dowry to support the family. Jia Siyao's life is not easy.

At night, Hongye went to Qi's house, Qi frame would be taken care of naturally, she untied the acupuncture points that she had tapped before, as for Qi frame if she wanted to die again in the future, she would not be so kind again.

September came as scheduled under the anticipation of the Rong Mansion. September [-]rd was the day of the Rong Mansion's filial piety. The Rong Mansion opened the middle door, feasted the guests, and announced to the world that the Rong Guo Mansion started the filial piety today.

Many guests came, Zhang Family, Wang Family, Shi Family, and the previous four kings and eight princes all came. They were all of the same generation as Jia She.Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng entertained the male guests in the front hall, while Jia Jing and Jia Zhen helped.Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang entertained the female relatives in the inner courtyard, especially some of the former handkerchiefs of Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang or people of the same age. The whole day is just over.

At night, Jia She was sitting in his study reviewing the memorial he had written. It was stamped with Duke Rong’s seal, and the words between the lines were naturally written in his own tone. He will deliver this memorial to the Secretary of General Affairs tomorrow, hoping that the emperor will see it soon. , Give him a reply earlier, don't hang him, it's a test of the heart to be on tenterhooks.

The author has something to say: Replaced.

The title of title is really not easy to entangle, so I neutralized it and set it as Gong, Marquis, Bo, first-class general, and third-class general, and it will be gone later.
