An old lady's life

On the second day, Jia Amnesty woke up early, walked around the garden several times, and then had breakfast with Mrs. Zhang and her two sons in a calm manner. Mrs. Zhang smiled to herself, just pretending not to know.

Jia Amnesty personally sent the two sons to the classroom, and then wandered to Rongxi Hall, weighing the booklets hidden in his sleeves on the way.It's not easy to hire this staff, character and ability are indispensable, and Jia She has limited opportunities to go out, so after such a long time, he has not invited a single staff, and he has to use his own brain to do anything.

Hongye was eating breakfast, when Jia She came in, she leaned forward to serve her mother attentively.

"Mother, you said when will the emperor see the papers I handed over to the Secretary of the General Administration?" Jia Amnesty was very worried, because his own important matter was involved, he was simply restless.

Hongye looked at the kettle next to her, and Jia She understood, and immediately poured water for her mother.

"It's simple, you just deliver the passbook to the drop-in box under the jurisdiction of your fourth brother-in-law." Hongye didn't feel that she wanted to avoid suspicion at all, and there was a shortcut to avoid invalidation, let alone just handing in a passbook, and it wasn't for Lin Hai to interfere in the government. things.

Jia Amnesty said in a daze, "Isn't this bad? Will it make things difficult for Ru Hai?"

"We are ordinary people. Ordinary people naturally have seven emotions and six desires. This matter is not illegal. How can Ru Hai not do it? Avoiding suspicion is not such a way to avoid suspicion. You should also understand in the future that there is a sense of propriety in helping relatives and friends, as long as it is not illegal. Everything can be done.”

Jia Amnesty said with a serious face, "Yes, my son is educated."

Gaining comfort from his mother, Jia She's mood calmed down in an instant. With his brother-in-law around, the emperor will definitely see the excerpt sooner.Leaving Rongxi Hall, he immediately ordered the chief to follow the horse-drawn carriage to the General Secretary. There were several sealed boxes in the lobby of the General Secretary, and only numbers were pasted on the outside of the boxes. As for the name tag, he naturally knew which one Lin Hai's drop-in box was, so he decisively threw the folder in through the gap on the top of the box.

He walked away, and the guards in the lobby just glanced at him as usual. There are many officials who come to the General Administration Department to deliver paperwork every day, and they have seen all the officials, not to mention that he doesn't know Jia She.

Lin Hai usually opened the drop-in box around six o'clock in the morning, and took out the folders delivered at the twelve o'clock in the morning.About half an hour after Jia Amnesty left, he came to open the box.Holding more than a dozen memorials in his hand, only the memorial on the face is different. This is a memorial with a white cover. Generally, memorials are covered with red or yellow, and this kind of cover is only used when there are funerals at home. , he turned a page out of curiosity and understood.

Yesterday, Yue's family gave a filial piety, so he naturally went too, but the elder brother was very busy at that time, so he didn't say a few words, and he didn't think about the issue of the elder brother's memorial.

Of course, he didn't think it was embarrassing, not to mention that if he didn't help with such a simple and not illegal matter, it would appear that he was hypocritical.

Except for Jia Amnesty's more important notebook, the other notebooks are all the notebooks. Together with the notebooks from other places, there are only about [-] notebooks in total. A stack of memorials entered the palace.

After a month of precipitation, Emperor Changping's body recovered under the care of the imperial doctor, and his complexion also recovered a little rosy. He may be really old. He will look consistent with his actual age, but in the past two days, a harem The nobleman was diagnosed to be [-] days pregnant. This nobleman was one of the concubines who went to the palace together to escape the summer heat.

A concubine in the harem is pregnant, which proves that the emperor is in good health. After the incident with the crown prince, everyone in the court paid attention to the emperor's health. Everyone was relieved to hear the news. It seems that the emperor is still in good health!

But I seem to have forgotten that according to the time, when the nobleman conceived, the emperor was still in good health.

Ru Hai entered the imperial study room, and put the notebooks on the desk according to the usual categories, so naturally Jia She's memorial occupied a place alone.

He glanced at Wang Wei, who shook his head with a smile, then he bowed to the emperor and left the royal study.

After he left, another half an hour passed, and Emperor Changping's review of the memorial just happened to be approved by the Minister of the Ministry of Households. The content was the accounts of the Ministry of Households in August. Some typical examples were written on it, such as how much money was obtained from the ransacking of the house, and Jia Amnesty of the Rongguo Mansion owed 10 taels of silver.

After Emperor Changping closed the memorial, he closed his eyes and thought about it for a while. Compared with the amount of treasury silver in July, compared with August, the confiscation of the house earned several million taels, which is really an extra benefit.

"Wang Wei, is the Rongguo Mansion producing filial piety this year?" He remembered that the old man Jia Daishan must have been dead for three years, right?

Wang Wei heard the voice and said: "Reporting to the emperor, the Rongguo Mansion delivered filial piety yesterday."

Emperor Changping opened his eyes and nodded, his eyes fell on the piles of memorials on the table on the left, "Has Jia Amnesty submitted the memorial yet?"

"Your Majesty, wait a moment, I will look for it." His eyes fell on the stack of memorials that Lin Hai had just sent up, and soon he saw a white-covered memorial.

"Your Majesty's question is very good, Master Lin has just delivered the booklet." He lifted the white cover and looked out, and then handed the booklet to the emperor.

Emperor Changping opened it and read it. After reading it, he couldn't help laughing and said: "This Jia Amnesty is interesting. Xuan Jia Amnesty will see you tomorrow morning."

Jia She’s memorial didn’t mention much about the father who went first. The first part is full of admiration for his father, but the latter part is full of flattering words, but the skill is not good enough. mean.

"Is the old lady of the Jia family still ordering Jia She to read the Dafeng Law? How is the result?"

When Emperor Changping asked this, Wang Wei couldn't stop laughing, "Oh, Your Majesty, that's a servant who laughs to death!"

Emperor Changping raised his eyebrows: "Speak well!"

"Test, once a month. The best score is Jia Zheng, and the second is Jia She. Jia She has scored 35 points from the first [-] points in the test. According to Mrs. Jia, it is He finally passed the exam, and Jia Zhen from Ningfu has been following the exam for the past two years, and he did very poorly in the exam, with the highest score being only [-] points."

Emperor Changping thought for a while with a sullen face, and then asked: "Is there a vacancy at the Ministry of Punishment?"

Wang Wei counted with his fingers and said: "Yes, there are quite a few. There are vacancies for the principal and the doctor."

"Since I have studied the Dafeng Law for three years, let Jia Amnesty go to the Ministry of Punishment to serve. If I do well, I will make great use of it. If I don't do well, I will really be blind to Jia Daishan." Emperor Changping said flatly.

Wang Wei was overjoyed. If he remembered correctly, not long ago, Jia She and the Ministry of Punishment had a fierce fight. Now that he has become a colleague, he must be able to do his job better and devote himself to the people.

"Ahem, servant girl heard that Mrs. Jia asked her two sons to learn the laws of Dafeng, because she was afraid that they would go astray and do illegal activities. After all, these descendants of noble backgrounds in Beijing have all kinds of problems."

Emperor Changping nodded, and the matter of Jia Amnesty is over.

On this side, Jia Amnesty received a message from someone sent by Lin Hai, saying that his memorial had been delivered to the imperial study, and the emperor would see it tomorrow at the latest, so Jia Amnesty did not have to worry.

Lin Hai only sent someone to notify Jia Amnesty when he got home, and now Jia Min is by his side.

"I don't know what kind of title the emperor will let the eldest brother take over?" Jia Min couldn't help worrying about her natal family.

Lin Hai didn't know what to do. The two houses of Rongning and Ningxia hadn't done anything wrong in these years. Although Jia Amnesty had no ability, he had nothing to do. Jia Amnesty's title should not be too low. It's big.

"Does Min'er know how his father-in-law was related to the emperor when he was alive?" When he married the Rong Mansion, his father-in-law had already been idle at home for many years. He was a general and had handed over military power. Apart from some prestige in the army, he had no authority in the court. fame.

Eh, no, the emperor gave his father-in-law a posthumous title, which shows that the emperor still values ​​his father-in-law.

What Jia Min knows is only the superficial situation, everyone knows, as for Jia Daishan's personal relationship with Emperor Changping, she doesn't know, because she is an old woman who was born after Jia Daishan handed over the military power and stayed at home, but Lin Hai himself deliberated After a while, I felt in my heart that as long as the Rongfu didn't do anything out of the ordinary, for the sake of my father-in-law, the emperor would not let my eldest brother downgrade too much.

In Huifang Courtyard, Ai Cao and Lin Nuan got together and muttered something. In fact, Ai Cao and Jia Min went to a banquet together today. Someone thought that Jia Min had married into the Lin family for many years and had not given birth to a boy and a half girl. Jia Min, pissed off the wormwood.

"Aunt, my cousin used to be a little weak, and my sister-in-law was also a little cold, but I have already taken care of them, and I can't do anything about the problem of children. I also have the secret recipes for having children that have been passed around secretly, but there are many secret recipes for having children. There are side effects at least, so I don't recommend it to my sister-in-law."

Ai Cao's eyes widened: "I didn't intend to use it for Min'er, I just wondered why Hai'er and Min'er were in good health, so why haven't they been able to conceive?" Could it be that we really have to wait for Sister Lin to be born?

She skipped a beat in her heart, but she forgot about Jing Huan. Originally, the matter of having a child depends on fate, but doesn't this involve reincarnation?Could it be that Jing Huanzhen used some means to prevent the Lin family from having a child before sister Lin?

Immediately, wormwood was worried, what should I do?

Lin Nuan also couldn't answer this question. In the past two years, because she is a female doctor, she has treated many married women. She knows that if a woman cannot bear a son, she will not only be slandered by the world's words, but also have to suffer. If her husband's family doesn't like it, it's really hard for a woman to live.

But when she saw Lin Hai and Jia Min coming in, Ai Cao restrained her expression, and the family had dinner happily.

In the dead of night, Ai Cao went to Rongfu to find Hongye, and told Hongye about the problem she had just discovered, Hongye's expression changed slightly.

"Our cultivation base can't break through the time-space wall of this space-time, how can we reach the illusionary realm?" There are many time-spaces in the universe, the red building where they live is just a small world, and the time-space where Jing Huan is located is the world of the great world, a great world. The world governs the three thousand middle thousand worlds, and one middle thousand world governs the three thousand small thousand worlds. The red building is hidden in the three thousand small thousand worlds. A little trick like Jing Huan is enough for the people of the small thousand worlds to suffer .

Ai Cao held her chin and drooped her eyelids. They didn't have the skills of Monkey King, so they couldn't interfere with the great events of reincarnation.

Hongye was also helpless, this matter really stumped them, "Don't worry, I should break through within a year, I have a hunch, after this breakthrough, there will be unexpected surprises."

"Really?" Ai Cao's eyes lit up, and then she bit her lower lip and said, "I should be more diligent." She is already diligent enough, and now she even spends less time going out to visit mountains and rivers, and she has less time for cultivation. It has become more, but it is still a small realm behind Hongye.

When Hongye heard it, she sneered and said, "This is the funniest joke I've ever heard."

Ai Cao blushed, couldn't she just be lonely?Frustrated and furious, Ai Cao rolled her eyes at Hongye, and then left Rongfu in a hurry. She decided not to come to Hongye any more, so she tried her best to show her.

After a night of precipitation, Jia She's mood has calmed down, but he didn't want to have just after breakfast, the little eunuch came to the palace and told him to enter the palace to have an audience.

Jia Amnesty's heart began to jump again, he gave the little eunuch a red seal, changed into a brocade suit, and then entered the palace with the little eunuch.

"My humble servant bows to the emperor, the emperor's holy peace." Jia She bowed his head and knelt in the middle of the imperial study room, Emperor Changping glanced at him, it was rare to see Jia She's nervous expression.

"Pingshen." After Emperor Changping called out, he sighed: "Jia She, you don't look much like your father."

Jia Amnesty was a little dazed, and after standing up, he glanced at the emperor secretly, and then said: "My minister is a bit like a grandmother, and a bit like a mother. It is indeed not similar to my father. The one who is similar to my father is the second brother of my father."

Isn't the second child five points similar to his father?But to say something unfilial, the second child is not as good-looking as him.

"You have read the Laws of the Great Phoenix for three years, what experience do you have?" Emperor Changping nodded and asked instead.

Jia Amnesty scratched his head, then said a little shyly: "Your Majesty, I don't study well, and I haven't familiarized myself with the laws of Dafeng."

"Why?" Emperor Changping asked with a half-smile, with a teasing expression on his face. Jia Amnesty lowered his head and didn't see it. He just said, "I will only pass the exam. I have never passed seventy points. My mother said that I passed ninety points." Points are considered excellent.”

Emperor Changping then asked some little things about daily life, and Jia Amnesty answered them honestly. He also asked why he built a library. He has no understanding of the world, he is a complete nerd, he is said to be flattered by nerds, a nerd must have a wealth of knowledge, the second child is just a nerd, he is no match for a scholar in Jinling.”

Wang Wei raised his eyebrows, the Jia She brothers are quite interesting.

Emperor Changping nodded: "What about now?"

Jia Amnesty said blushingly: "Fortunately, the second child can still be taught. Isn't this the next autumn test? The second child will take the exam. If it's okay, you will see the real chapter in the examination room."

Emperor Changping smiled slightly: "What about you? Just wait for Xijue to sit and eat the mountains and empty space?"

Jia She suddenly said excitedly: "Does the emperor want to give this humble minister an official position?" He patted his chest and said loudly, "This humble minister knows that my ability is limited, but I will do my best to serve the emperor."

"Well, I got it, I'll stop here for today, let's go back and wait." Emperor Changping felt amused for a while, but he didn't ask Jia She any more, and asked Jia She to leave the imperial study.

Jia Amnesty's heart skipped a beat, what did the emperor mean by these words?I was distracted all the way, and when I left the range of the imperial study, I saw a group of imperial guards passing by in front of me.

He glanced at it at first, and then looked away for a moment, ouch, isn't Hao Ding the one at the head?

Hao Ding also saw Jia She, he winked at Jia She, then turned around and led the team to the left, Jia She slapped himself on the head suddenly, he should have thought of Hao Ding's identity, after all, Fifth Master It's the emperor.

After the interview, although he didn't know the result, Jia She knew that the matter had already been settled, and he felt that the emperor was quite satisfied with him about the title of title, so it shouldn't be low.

While waiting for the imperial decree from the Ministry of Rites, the entire Rong family was preparing for Jia Zheng's autumn examination.Since the end of August, Hongye has not allowed Jia Zheng to go to Guiyuan Bookstore, and asked him to review his homework at home. If there is anything he doesn't understand, he can ask Mr. An, and it is best to go to Zhang's house to ask Mrs. Zhang for advice.

On the morning of September [-]th, Jia Amnesty personally took the carriage to take Jia Zheng to the Gongyuan. The carriage was quite serious on this journey, and Jia Amnesty had been thinking about it for a long time, not knowing what to say.

When he was about to reach the Gongyuan, Jia Shecai said bluntly: "Second brother, don't be nervous, and don't be burdened. You have done so many test papers, and the test paper routines are the same."

Jia Amnesty, who has always been eloquent, ran out of words, and Jia Zheng nodded: "I know, thank you for your comfort, brother, I won't be nervous." Before, my mother had experimented many times according to the nine-day imperial examination, and at first it was indeed in accordance with the regulations. Within a short period of time, he was prone to nervousness in a claustrophobic environment, and he tended to forget things when he was nervous. After three times, he found a way to make himself not nervous.

The students in the capital have this advantage. Both the Autumn Examination and Chunwei are in the Gongyuan, and they are familiar with the situation in the Gongyuan first. In the coming year, Chunwei will have an advantage over students from other places.However, there are a large number of students in the autumn examination in the capital, and the number of students admitted is also large, but the distribution in terms of proportion is not larger than that of other government offices.

There were a lot of students waiting in line to enter the Tribute Academy. Jia Amnesty and the coachman drove back home after watching Jia Zheng enter the Tribute Academy.

The whole government was waiting for the end of the autumn examination, and for a while they all forgot that Jia She's issue of inheriting the title had not yet been implemented.On September [-], Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites and Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Officials suddenly came to Rongfu together.Zuo Shilang dragged the text for a long time, and the whole mansion only heard the most important point, and they all heaved a sigh of relief.

Jia She's attacking the noble was just a normal demotion, and the emperor ordered Jia She to be the Marquis of Rongyang.

The doctor of the Ministry of Officials brought the official document of appointment from the Ministry of Officials, and ordered Jia Amnesty to take the official document to the Ministry of Punishment for handover as soon as possible, and appointed him as the head of the sixth rank.

Jia She accepted the imperial decree of Xijue with a smile on his face, but the official document of the appointment made Jia She dumbfounded. No wonder the emperor would ask him how he learned the laws of Dafeng, but you can't give him a letter just because he has read the laws of Dafeng. He is an official of the Criminal Ministry?

Jia She sent the two adults away with a smile on his face, cupped his hands to the left servant, and said, "I will bother the Minister of Rites tomorrow when I arrive at the Ministry of Rites. Please ask the Ministry of Rites to help check the regulations in this mansion, and ask the Ministry of Rites to make a new one for the plaque of the Hou Mansion." of."

Zuo Shilang cupped his hands in return: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Rong Yanghou is welcome, this is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites."

The two lords walked out of the steps, Jia Amnesty suddenly remembered, and called out to the official doctor, "I'm sorry, but I would like to ask your lord, it seems that the official document of Weichen did not specify which area the chief is in charge of. matter."

The doctor of the official department smiled slightly: "This official doesn't know, but Hou Ye will know when he goes to the Ministry of Punishment."

Jia She sent the two adults away eagerly, and walked all the way back. He still didn't understand what he was in charge of as the chief. After all, the Xing prison cases in so many places in Dafeng were managed separately. Could it be that he is actually a decoration? ?That's right, he's a novice, he didn't come from the imperial examination, he was airborne, so he shouldn't be able to do business at first.

Back in the front hall, everyone was there, Jia She came up to his mother and said happily, "Mother, this title has only been lowered by one level."

"Very good." Hongye nodded. She glanced at Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang, and said, "Jingshu sent someone to clean up Rong'an Hall and choose an auspicious day for you to move to Rongxi Hall. It's time to abdicate."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Jia She all of a sudden, and Jia She wanted to say a word of resignation, but it seemed that he couldn't do it.

"Rong'an Hall is a bit small, does my mother really want to live there?" Jia She hesitated and said, "If Rongqing Yuan is bigger."

Rongqing Courtyard is on the left side of Rongxi Hall, just behind the East Courtyard where Jia She and Mrs. Zhang live now; Rong'an Hall is on the right side of Rongxi Hall, behind the West Courtyard where Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang live.

Of course, Rong'an Hall is the courtyard where Jia's mother lived in the Red Mansion. Hongye didn't decide based on this, but she just thought that she happened to be closer to the West Courtyard and Rongxi Hall. In the future, when Jia Zhu and the others came to grandma's courtyard, they wouldn't have to go out of their way. so far away.

From this point of view, Hongye can't figure out what Jia's mother did in the red building. From the East Courtyard to Rong'an Hall, it is equivalent to crossing the entire Rongfu. Jia's mother doesn't want to see Jia She.

"No need, why am I an old woman living in such a big yard?" Hongye shook her head faintly.

The matter was decided in this way, and the relocation was left to Mrs. Zhang. With a capable daughter-in-law, Hongye was relaxed.

Wang's heart was depressed, just like the emperor and his courtiers. From now on, she and the master will have to live by the face of her elder brother. Thinking of Jia Zheng who is taking the exam in the Tribute Court, Wang has never expected Jia Zheng to pass the imperial examination so much. Otherwise, they would not have any right to speak in the Hou Mansion.

On the second day, Jia Amnesty went to the Ministry of Rites and invited three officials from the Ministry of Rites to come to Rong Mansion for inspection, and pointed out all the places in the mansion that were out of control. Plaque, this plaque of Rongguo Mansion was included in the ancestral hall and offered together with the ancestral tablet.

The author has something to say: Replaced.
