An old lady's life

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, many officials from other places poured into Beijing. These officials all returned to Beijing for evaluation. Every day, people from high-ranking families in central Beijing visited their homes. There were also some officials attached to Rongfu and Ningfu. The position of Jia Jing in the government has not been resolved yet, and now the two governments are planning, and everyone is staring at the Ministry of Officials to see how many positions will be vacant this time.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng also valued it very much. Everyone wanted to get promoted and get rich. They didn't ask for money, they only wanted to be promoted.

These days, Jia She and Jia Zheng go out early and return late, and Hongye often sees them come to pay their respects after dark. Even the whole family, including the children, know that their father (uncle/second uncle) is busy recently, so be good. , don't make trouble, otherwise you will be beaten up.

It seemed that Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng had made an agreement on this day to go home early together. Hongye, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang were quite surprised to see them.

The children hadn't seen their father for several days, but they had a very happy dinner. After the meal, Jia She and Jia Zheng pulled their children to ask questions, or randomly asked questions about the exam, or asked them about their recent problems. How about studying, etc.

In September, it is already late autumn, and the night gets dark early. Compared with the grand night, Rong'an Hall is full of joy and harmony.Afterwards, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang took the children back to the yard to rest, while Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng specially stayed to talk with their mother.

Before Hongye asked, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng still took the initiative to talk about recent events one by one.

"In addition to King Zhaojun and King Xiangjun, the three princes, King Gong, King Qin, and King Yu, have been enjoying themselves recently." Jia Amnesty rubbed his chin and said with emotion.

Every person who has just become an official is ambitious and wants to become an upright official with a long history. An upright official is not afraid of power, flattering or flattering. However, the reality is cruel. After three years of doing nothing, he can bear it. It is still tolerable, but what about nine years and 12 years?

Hong Ye glanced at Jia She, took a sip of the tea in her hand, and said, "You don't have to worry about King Zhaojun, the emperor has his own arrangements."

Jia She's eyes suddenly lit up. My mother always knew the world's affairs while sitting at home. Could it be that my mother knew what King Zhaojun was doing?

"Mother, do you know what he's doing?" Jia Amnesty asked hurriedly. He hadn't had any contact with King Zhaojun for at least a year. All business related to King Zhaojun was handled by his subordinates Wang Minglang and Lu Mingda. He approached, even if it was King Zhaojun who would show up in Beijing every few months, but when he knew about it, he left Beijing again.

Hongye shook her head: "The Buddha said, don't say it!"

Jia Zheng couldn't help being discouraged, his mother still had such a wicked taste.

Jia Zheng bowed his head, as a younger brother, it is not easy to laugh at his elder brother.

As for the king of Xiangjun, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Changping summoned him and told him the ins and outs of everything. The king of Xiangjun had a natural atmosphere and was a little short of breath.

However, he seemed to be reluctant to part with Concubine Zhen, he just locked Concubine Zhen in confinement, and did not punish Concubine Zhen too much, after all Concubine Zhen was the biological mother of his three sons.

But regarding the Zhen family and what happened to the Zhen family, he was on the sidelines.

Hongye guessed that after Fengsheng Madam Qiqi passed, Emperor Changping would probably do something to the Zhen family.

The mother and son chatted for half an hour, until around Haishi, when the dew became heavier, and Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng had to go to work before dawn, so Hongye sent them back to rest.

In late September, the evaluation is basically over, and the Ministry of Officials will issue appointment documents one after another.

Under Hongye's close attention, he knew that Lin Hai had been promoted from the magistrate of Qingzhou to the magistrate. In just two years, he had completed the first-level jump. It has to be said that what Lin Hai did in Qingzhou in the past two years was enough to make all the officials of the court pay attention .

The people in Qingzhou who went out to make a living also gradually began to return to their hometowns. Now that the saline-alkali land in Qingzhou has found crops that can grow, there are many smart people among the people. Lin Hai doesn’t need to be too assertive, some people will spontaneously look for various crops that can grow , can not only improve the land, but also maintain life, and live a good life, why not do it?

At the beginning of October, the matter of evaluation and appointment was over. Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng also waited for the promotion and appointment documents. Both of them were fifth-rank doctors. She had to be a little curious.

In the Ning Mansion, Jia Jing also waited for the appointment document. This time it was the Shaoqing of the Taipusi, and his rank was the same as before he kept his filial piety. Before September, he had never heard that the Shaoqing of the Taipusi would leave his post, but I don't want to just before the assessment, the mother of Shaoqing's family in Taipu Temple passed away. Because of filial piety, this position was vacant.After some activities in Rong Mansion and Ning Mansion, this position has successfully become Jia Jing's.

It was a happy event to be promoted. When Jia She and Jia Zheng came back, Jia She had a big smile on his face. Although Jia Zheng was a bit more reserved, he couldn't hide his joy.

After dinner as usual, the children went to play in the yard, and the adults chatted in the house.

After talking about his own affairs, Jia She rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Mother, Mrs. Feng Sheng has passed away, and the Zhen family has to keep filial piety for the old lady. All the positions they left behind have been replaced by people from different sects, especially Prince Gong and Prince Qin are the most important." Prince Yu has only entered the imperial court for about three years, and his connections are not as good as those of his elder brothers.

As for King Zhaojun, Jia She completely gave up studying him, because he himself is not in the capital!

The next day, the censor in the court impeached the Zhen family for their crimes in Jinling, exploiting the common people, etc., one after another for violating the law and discipline.

When the imperial censor came out to make a statement, all the officials in the court were silent, and everyone peeked at Emperor Changping's expression to see what he would do this time.

Emperor Changping glanced at the officials in the entire court, all of them bowed their heads, many of them were still gloating about their misfortune, and only Xiangjun Wang was expressionless.

"Order Zhen Yingjia, Zhen Yingbing, Zhen Yingru, and Zhen Yingjing to go to Beijing to defend themselves." Emperor Changping issued the order word by word, and then Wang Wei retreated loudly, and today's court meeting is over.

The news about the court quickly spread throughout the capital, and when Concubine Zhen of the Harem knew about it, she ran to the emperor and cried, saying that her elder brothers would never do such a thing that violated the laws of Dafeng!

Emperor Changping's expression didn't fluctuate at all, he waved away Concubine Zhen, and recalled the wet nurse again.

The wet nurse's first two biological children all died of illness, as to whether there was something wrong with it, he didn't know, and the wet nurse never told him.The year he opened the mansion, the wet nurse returned to the Zhen family. At that time, the wet nurse was nearly 40 years old. Two years later, the old clam conceived a pearl and gave birth to Zhen Yingjing. Zhen Yingjia is completely in charge.

Concubine Zhen is the concubine daughter of a concubine after the wet nurse returned home. The wet nurse actually does not approve of Concubine Zhen entering the palace, but she is a woman and cannot interfere with the decisions of everyone in the Zhen family. For the sake of the wet nurse, He ordered Wang Wei to take photos of Concubine Zhen in private, but that was all.

Half a month later, Zhen Yingjia and four men from the Zhen family went to Beijing to defend themselves. It was said that the Dali Temple was full of excitement, and people gathered around the Dali Temple to watch the excitement.

Everyone in Beijing paid close attention to this lawsuit, which lasted for about half a month.

It was already November at this time, and a few fast horses at the gate of Nancheng returned to Beijing. In the 25th year of Changping, from January to November, King Zhaojun, who had only appeared twice, returned to Beijing.

There were also a few imperial guards returning to Beijing together, but Shang Yong was the only one missing.

The first thing King Zhaojun did when he returned to Beijing was to return to the palace to face the saint. Emperor Changping saw his son who had been busy for more than a year come back, especially when he saw the various things reported by his son, his eyes were full of relief.

The old man Tianyi didn't miss it this time, the old seven is a good one.

Returning from the palace, King Zhaojun only had a brief meeting with his wife and children, and had to meet with his subordinates to report the matter. After all the matters were dealt with, it was already around [-]:[-] in the evening, and Mrs. Yao was waiting for him in the bedroom of the main courtyard, but his son was so sleepy. He fell asleep, but he was unwilling to go back to his room, so King Zhaojun was not surprised to see his son on the bed of their husband and wife.

"Sorry for making you wait so late." He took off his coat, and Yao Shi took it and hung it on the hanger by the way.

Yao shi put his arms around his neck and hugged him: "My lord, what do you want me to say?"

King Zhaojun looked a little embarrassed, but recovered after a while, knowing that his wife was always lively and never afraid of his cold face, he reached out and hugged her back.

Originally, there was a deep affection between the husband and wife, but the three-year-old child on the bed opened his big hazy eyes and said softly, "Concubine mother?"

Yao quickly threw away her hands, coughed uncomfortably, walked to the bed in two or three steps, and picked up her son. Before she could speak, the child was already pleasantly surprised: "Father?"

With his hands still open, he flung himself into his father's arms. King Zhaojun took his son, and Yao ordered someone to fetch water for him to wash.

The next day, Jia She met with Boss Song. Originally, Lin Hai and Prince Zhaojun were supposed to be there, but Lin Hai left Beijing, and Jia She was in charge of the Lin family's overseas business, and Prince Zhaojun Wang Minglang took the lead.

Jia Amnesty didn't think that King Zhaojun would show up today. He knew that King Zhaojun was returning to Beijing yesterday, so he thought he would leave Beijing again soon.

The five boats of the Jia family and the five boats of Boss Song formed a caravan. The two parties cooperated in business. Naturally, the benefits in this were greater than before. King Zhaojun was already considering buying or building ships himself.

The first and second floors of the restaurant happened to be discussing the matter of Dali Temple. After the men of the Zhen family went to Beijing, they were locked up in Dali Temple. The whole process was like a trial, and the victim came out to testify.

But among them, Zhen Yingjing was released on the second day of being locked up. Zhen Yingjing was a little helpless. His younger sister in the palace and his niece married in Beijing all put pressure on him, telling him to bail out his elder brothers, or Let him take the initiative to bear the crime for his brother.After Zhen Yingjing heard this, she felt a little stupid. He lived a leisurely life all these years, but it didn't mean he was a fool. They thought that he was the only son of his mother, and the emperor would treat him lightly for his mother's sake. But why did he sacrifice himself?

What the Zhen family did at this time was not as arrogant and domineering as in the Red Mansion. Even if they were charged with crimes, they were not to the extent of ransacking their families and exterminating their families. Women are also one of the crimes, but what makes people laugh and cry is that the women who were snatched back to Zhen's family as concubines took the initiative to express their feelings to Dali Temple, saying that they were already Zhen's wives. Right to pursue.

Hongye let out a long sigh, but she didn't know whether the three women were forced or took the initiative, no matter which point, they were all equally lamentable.

Just like a raped woman marrying a rapist, it makes people feel so stuck in their throats that they can't even spit out!

The matter of the Zhen family came to an end in mid-November. Zhen Yingjia, Zhen Yingbing, and Zhen Yingru were sentenced according to the Dafeng Law.

I heard that Jinling Zhen Yingjia's family will soon be separated by the clan. Zhen Yingjing, as the only legitimate son, after the patriarch and the government have approved the property of the Zhen family and returned the ill-gotten wealth, Zhen Yingjing will get [-]% of the rest. Cheng, the remaining three, Zhen Yingjia, Zhen Yingbing, Zhen Yingru, get the remaining [-]%.
