The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

The courtiers who offended the Holy Wrath, according to the usual reason, must have no good fruit to eat.

After the emperor angrily reprimanded Jia Zheng, he didn't directly mention any punishment or demotion.Jia Lian knew in his heart that the emperor was thinking of the emperor's face.Jia Zheng was promoted by the emperor's special kindness after the death of the Duke.Now is a sensitive period, if Jia Zheng is demoted by the emperor today, even if the reason is justified, if the news of his turning around reaches the ears of the Supreme Emperor, it may turn bad.

The emperor is suspicious, and the emperor is even more suspicious.This is what the so-called son follows the father.

The Taishanghuang is a bit older, but his old man's body is not bad now.The Supreme Emperor is like that retired veteran cadre. When he is free, he will inevitably think of his glory as the emperor in the past, and he also wants to take care of things, and occasionally inquire about the court situation.

A month ago, the old Xungui Qi's family who lived in Yuzhou was ransacked by the emperor for corruption.After the incident was known to the Supreme Emperor, he was a little upset and was so angry that he didn't eat.The Supreme Emperor didn't accuse the Emperor of anything, but the fact that he didn't eat was enough to make the Emperor feel troublesome.

The emperor valued filial piety, and was famous for his filial piety. In addition, although the Supreme Emperor had abdicated, he still held the power of many old officials and did not let go.The son will never give reason to the father.The emperor can no longer create a gap between him and the emperor because of Jia Zheng, create a crisis, and cause trouble for himself.

So this Jia Zheng, he had to make a detour to deal with it.

But just now the fire was sent out, and I couldn't get it back.The emperor felt that if he changed his mind so suddenly and bypassed Jia Zheng, he would be slapping himself in the face.

After being quiet for a long time, the emperor glanced at Jia Lian and motioned him to say a few words.

Jia Lian froze for a moment, looking at the emperor.The emperor moved his eyeballs, and after looking at Jia Lian, he glanced at Jia Zheng to hint at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was still in a daze.

The emperor was so angry that he raised his forehead and gave Jia Lian his eyes, blaming him for being too upright and not bright.The emperor sighed angrily, and sat sideways on the dragon chair with his head tilted, thinking about giving the eunuch next to him a look and asking him to intercede with Jia Zheng.But Jia Zheng was neither related nor related, so it was too unnatural to ask for it.

Alas, it's really hard to be an emperor, and it's even harder to be an emperor with a living father on top.

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen is selfish and wants to speak for his second uncle." Jia Lian suddenly said.

The emperor was taken aback when he heard this, and was so pleasantly surprised that the corner of his mouth almost stopped laughing.He frowned, pretended to cough twice, and said loudly to Jia Lian pretending to be unkind, "Say it!"

"From the moment I entered the door, I saw my second uncle's face was pale, his legs and feet were trembling, and he was sweating profusely. It seemed that he had some sudden illness. Your Majesty, look at his current appearance. He is shaking so badly that he is about to faint."

Jia Zheng didn't expect that Jia Lian would intercede for himself in front of the emperor, and his heart was mixed with surprise, doubt, gratitude and other emotions.As soon as he heard that Jia Lian wanted him to faint, he immediately pouted his buttocks and hit his head on the ground, then fell sideways, pretending to be fainted very cooperatively.

"Perhaps the second uncle absented from work today, there is something hard to hide." After Jia Lian finished speaking, he turned to look at Jia Zheng, "Your Majesty, look, he really fainted!"

There was a hint of showing off in Jia Lian's exclamation tone, which was very funny.

puff--

The Emperor pursed his lips tightly and almost laughed out loud.

The emperor pretended to be calm and coughed a few times, thinking about the matter, he couldn't let it go like this, otherwise he wouldn't have any dignity in front of Jia Zheng, so his tone was still angry, "Physician Xuan, I want to see this fellow What's wrong with you?"

When the eunuch went to invite the imperial physician, he would explain the emperor's intentions to the imperial physician on the way.Regardless of whether Jia Zheng is sick or not, he has to be diagnosed with some kind of illness, so that he can give the emperor a good-looking step down.

After taking the pulse, the imperial physician came to the main hall to report to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Mr. Jia is tired, depressed, and his limbs are cold. This is caused by the excessive loss of energy. If we don't treat it, I'm afraid that body won't last long!"

The emperor opened his eyes slightly and looked at the imperial physician.The imperial physician nodded and bowed to the emperor again.The emperor understood that what the old doctor said about the loss of energy was true.

What did Jia Zheng do last night?Jia Lian said that it was normal to see his second uncle yesterday during the day, but Jia Zheng lost his energy all night, how many times would he have to do it?Tsk tsk, self-proclaimed innocence and nobleness, but at such a young age, he can control women too much, and he doesn't know how to cherish blessings and take care of himself. He is really an old pervert.

The emperor despised Jia Zheng's character even more.Without saying anything on the face, he waved his hand to dismiss the imperial doctor, and said to Jia Lian, "It is indeed as you said, your second uncle is not in good health. For the sake of the old man, I will spare him once today. But His body and bones are really not suitable for continuing to work in the Ministry of Industry, so the official position will be reserved for him, and he will be raised at home for a year or so, and other arrangements will be made when he recovers."

Jia Lian thanked him and asked someone to carry Jia Zheng out of the palace gate.

As soon as the servant helped Jia Zheng to the carriage, Jia Zheng woke up. He wanted to see Jia Lian, but Jia Lian had already left in another carriage.He was so anxious that he jumped over the wall, and he didn't get a chance to see Jia Lian until late at night, but he was still in Jia Mu's flower hall, where all the family gathered.

Jia Lian was the last to come, and the whole family was waiting for him.As soon as the person came, Jia's mother said that the discussion could begin.

Seeing this, Jia Zheng was very sad. Once upon a time, like Jia Lian, he was the backbone of the entire Rong Mansion, and many things had to wait for his idea before he dared to discuss it.Now Jia Lian has completely replaced him, and he is even more brilliant and respected.As an elder, he is worthless and asks others to save him.

Jia Zheng was so ashamed that he didn't dare to face the facts. He really wanted to escape from this scene, but he continued to stay here with doubts about why Jia Lian saved him.

"Second, I'm asking you something!" Seeing Jia Zheng's madness, Jia's mother got angry.She had heard all about it today, the second child was not up to date, wasted too much energy and was lazy and snoozing at home, and was angered because of this, and missed a great opportunity to be promoted in the Ministry of Industry.

Thinking of this regret, Jia's mother hated, and sent away all the beautiful Tongfang and girls in Jiazheng's house.Mother Jia regretted that she had favored him for nothing all these years.I thought he was a simple and honest kid who knew how to live up to expectations, but I didn't expect that the older he got, the more muddled and bastard he would become.

"Mother," Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, looked at the cold-faced Mrs. Wang beside him, and motioned for her to remind himself quickly.Mrs. Wang was dumb, as if she didn't know anything, her eyes were blank, she didn't even look at Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng was so anxious that he couldn't help it, he frowned, thinking that the maids in the room would always save face and remind him a few times, but no one made a sound.

Jia Zheng never imagined that the current situation was caused by his unreasonable beating of the servant in public a few days ago.He became the harshest and most vicious bad master in the eyes of his subordinates, and no one wanted to help him.

Mother Jia waited for a while, and found that Jia Zheng was hesitating and speechless. Guessing that he didn't hear what he said just now, she slapped the table angrily, "You..." Mother Jia wanted to scold, but because the younger generation was there, And today was discussing Yuanchun's great joy, so I swallowed the words back, "You don't care about your own daughter's lifelong event, and at such a critical moment, you are so distracted that you ask me to tell you what's good. "

"What, Yuan Chun's marriage?" Jia Zheng stood up suddenly in shock. Why didn't he know anything about it?

"Today I went to Ni's house to see that kid. He is gentle, tall, and very polite. He is a bit silly, and he looks average, but he is reliable and honest. He is from a scholarly family, and he was born as a Jinshi. He has just been in the Ministry of Industry. I only got a small official of the sixth rank, which is very good. We married him in Yuanchun, and we will have a bright future in the future, so we will not be offended."

"Still that Ni Yuankui?" Jia Zheng asked dissatisfiedly.Originally, at first glance, the child's conditions were fine.If there is no such choice as King Beijing Jing, Jia Zheng would be willing anyway.But now there are better ones, why choose the good ones. "Mother, I don't understand why you have to choose their house. That Ni Yuankui is still a widow, how unlucky. How wonderful is the side concubine of the palace. Who can't be respectful when she sees her when she goes out to socialize? If there is a chance someday, there will be a May be corrected."

"Shut up!" Seeing that Jia Zheng hadn't figured it out yet, Jia Mu's chest was heaving and she almost lost her breath.With Yuanyang and Li Wan's blessings, she got better.

The second child is really confused, and he still expects the side concubine to go out to socialize!The status of the side concubine is indeed higher than that of the concubine, but it is always lower than that of the main concubine.Whose family will bring the older and younger wives with them when they go out to dinner parties?This is the main room's job!If you really take the side concubine out, you won't be laughed at and have no rules, and it's not a good thing.He despised Ni Yuankui for his wife's death, but turned his head and looked forward to the death of his wife for the King of Beijing.In fact, Yuan Chun is the main concubine of the palace, and her life is not as good as those who are daughters-in-law in aristocratic families.There are many rules and regulations in the palace, and there are countless concubines, concubines, beauties, Tongfang, etc. She can't control too much in this regard. How comfortable can she be with so many women robbing men?Coupled with Prince Jing's habit, the second child is still counting on the death of the royal family, I am afraid that Yuan Chun will be difficult to protect himself after marrying!

There were so many people present today, Mother Jia couldn't speak out about her doubts about Prince Jing, she just said: "I don't expect my granddaughter's marriage to bring much benefit to our family. I said it earlier, Mrs. The girl has already suffered enough for this family, and she should make life easier for this child in the rest of her life. Anyone who is promising should not expect her daughter to marry someone to make her head! Being a side concubine is small, and it is not as good as being a regular concubine. Shi Shutan. To put it in a self-deprecating way, the Ni family was born in a scholarly family for generations, and Ni Yuankui is a promising and motivated child. If it weren't for the death of his wife who wants to renew her strings, I'm afraid it wouldn't be your daughter's turn. Look at how you are now , I can't even keep an official position, and I still have the qualifications to pick and choose? I think Yuanchun is very good to marry the second son of the Ni family as a wife, not to mention that Ni Yuankui has not taken concubines in these years of marriage, even if he really has a concubine in the future, then They are also not allowed to appear on the stage, and they may be beaten, scolded or kicked out, all according to the wife's own wishes."

Jia Zheng opened his mouth to defend himself.

Mother Jia pushed down the teacup on the table and said sternly, "This marriage is settled like this, I'm in charge!"

Everyone present could see clearly that the old lady wiped the face of the second master in public.The second master deserves it!

Jia Zheng's face turned from red to white. Feeling that everyone was looking at him with dissatisfaction and contempt, he slowly closed his mouth and lowered his head.

Mrs. Wang stood up and knelt down to Mother Jia honestly, thanking her for her kindness.The wife of the prince of the Ni family is extremely satisfied, something she never dared to think about before.Before the second master mentioned the Beijing Prince's Mansion, she had no time to rejoice when he mentioned his wife's divorce, and then she inquired about the evaluation of the Prince of Beijing from Jia's mother's room, and guessed what was going on in her heart Naturally, she didn't want her daughter to jump into the fire pit.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's understanding, Jia's mother finally calmed down a little, "You don't have to thank me. Your nephew and niece and daughter-in-law are kind enough to ask for this matter. If you want to thank them, thank them well. The two families will meet again later, you husband and wife Give me some face, don't lose face and ruin your daughter's life."

Mrs. Wang answered in a hurry, turned to look at Jia Lian Jingxin and his wife, nodded slightly, thank you very much.

Mother Jia was a little surprised, but it was over in a blink of an eye.After all, Wang Shi played too many tricks and made too many mistakes in the past, it is no longer worthy of her forgiveness, let alone reuse her.As long as she is honest and stays at home, Mother Jia will not do anything to her.But if she makes trouble again, Mother Jia will snort coldly in her heart.The second room made messes again and again, which made her very tired.Now for her, she is not so enthusiastic about the second room, and the second child has no weight in her heart.If it weren't for Baoyu, Yuanchun, Tanchun and other children, she really wanted to send the second couple to Zhuangzi and never see each other again.

Seeing this, Jia Zheng couldn't say anything, so he confessed in a muffled voice.

"Look at you now, while the official position is still there, and the news has not spread, you should have settled the marriage of the third girl." Jia Mu stared at Jia Zheng, who was not up to date, and asked Mrs. Wang, "What do you think?"

"Trouble the old lady is in charge!" Mrs. Wang responded immediately.

Regarding Tanchun, Jia Zheng didn't care about anything, anyway, the eldest daughter's marriage he cared about was already like this, so why should he worry about the concubine daughter, it doesn't matter how she marries.Instead, what he cared more about was Jia Mu's words, "Look at you now", what's wrong with him?Today is actually a false alarm.The Holy Majesty has said that the official position will be reserved for him, and he will be allowed to go back when he recovers from his illness.

Seeing Jia Zheng's unconvinced attitude, Jia's mother was an eyesore, and sent him: "Go, go, anyway, you don't care about her, get out early."

After Jia Zheng stepped down, Mother Jia smiled and said to Jia Lian and his wife, "I have to trouble you and your wife to worry about this matter. You are young and know a lot of people, so it doesn't take much effort to socialize. My old lady lacks energy. , I'm afraid I can't help much if I try to do my best."

Jia Lian and his wife agreed.

Jia's mother said again: "It's better to make it early." There are too many variables in the second child's side, and she herself is getting older this year. With the glory of Rongfu, hurry up and choose a good family.

"Speaking of the third girl's marriage, shouldn't the second girl be settled as well?" Mrs. Xing asked.

"She's not in a hurry, she picks slowly." Jia Mu said, "When outsiders ask, they say that the fortune teller said that it would be good for Sanya to get married early, and it would be good for her father's health. This would also give her a reputation of filial piety, It won't be said by outsiders that our parents are disorderly."

Madam Xing nodded.

Jia Shen touched his daughter-in-law, and whispered to her: "You idiot, the second child is not good enough, that's what the old lady did. Our first wife is in full swing, and we can only get better and better in the future, and the later the second girl will be." The more you look, the better you can pick."

After Jia She finished speaking, he raised his chin with an indescribable sense of pride.

Mrs. Xing hurriedly smiled and said yes.

Everyone over there congratulated the old lady together, coaxing her to laugh, and then they dispersed.

After Jia Lian and his wife had dinner, Jingxin showed Jia Lian the list of candidates she had made.

"how?"

"The Sun family and the Li family are not good. Those concubines are not well educated and will not be successful. The third younger sister is very strong. It is best for you to find her a man who is ambitious and can make progress."

"Then I'll look for it again." Jingxin handed Jia Lian a cup of tea, and sat beside him with a smile, "It's a dangerous day, if the emperor takes away the second uncle's position, the elder sister's marriage may not come true. "

"Not long ago, the emperor took over the Qi family in Yuzhou, and the emperor was not happy. This time, it is expected that he will not deal with it immediately. Liu Ershu's official position was expected long ago, but it is 'Mingliu is actually exempt' Well, the emperor told him to go home to rest for a while, in fact, to let him vacate his position and vacate his official position." Jia Lian explained.

"Second master, this is all counted? It's amazing." Jing Xin gave a thumbs up and praised.

Jia Lian shook his head, "I'm not that good," thanks to the incisive summary in the history book.

……

In Yuanchun's marriage, the concubine of Li County was the matchmaker, which shows the sincerity of the Ni family.Of course, the Ni family also expressed another meaning, they hope that this in-law relationship can be taken care of by Jia Lian.

Yuan Chun is a very intelligent girl, so she naturally knows who is indebted to this marriage.I am very grateful to Jia Lian and his wife in my heart, especially in view of the current situation, so many unpleasant things have happened between the second and eldest families.Jia Lian was still able to take care of her regardless of the past, and helped her find a good future. Yuan Chun knew that he would never be able to repay this kindness no matter what.

After the marriage was settled, Yuan Chun ran to Jing Xin more and more diligently.She tried her best to express her sincere gratitude, and also intended to tell Jia Lian and his wife with actions that she would never forget this kindness in her life.In the future, even if their husband and wife tell her to go to hell, she will definitely not refuse.

Yuan Chun was used to the indifference of people in the palace, and after returning home, she would still have such family affection to warm her up. She felt that she was very lucky and she should be grateful.

The two families combined, and after the Rong Mansion accepted the letter of appointment, Yuan Chun's marriage was officially settled.

The opponent is Ni Yuankui, the second son of Ni Yongchang, Minister of the Ministry of War, Chang Yuanchun is one year old.He married a daughter-in-law when he was there, and had a son and a daughter. The son died when he was three years old, and his first wife died of illness two years ago.Regardless of Ni Yuankui's successor, because he has no son-in-law, he is quite a sought-after figure in Beijing.Families with a slightly lower family background are eager to send their daughters to continue their careers, and many of them are fourth- and fifth-rank officials.

The Ni family was originally dissatisfied with Jia Zheng's nature, but fortunately they were able to get married with the Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Houye also supported this marriage. In addition, Yuan Chun himself is a man of virtue, virtue and filial piety, so good that he can be selected into the palace , Needless to say in terms of rules.And the old lady of the Ni family is strict, well-mannered, and very rigid, and she is very picky about the rules of her granddaughter-in-law, so Yuanchun is just right for her.

As far as Yu Yuanchun is concerned, Ni Yuankui's age is just right, and he is from a good background, and he is one of the few people in the younger generation who know how to be pragmatic and motivated, which is naturally good.Although Ni Yuankui has a daughter, it doesn't hinder anything. The daughter's parents will get married when they are teenagers, so it won't affect anything.Besides, as long as Yuanchun married and gave birth to an eldest son, she would be full of confidence.Her kind of continuation, such as Xing Shi, You Shi, etc., can't compare with her at all.

At noon this day, Jia Lian finally finished his official duties and was able to go home to have a rest.

After the couple had dinner, Jingxin went to Mrs. Xing's side, and the two discussed preparing Yuanchun's dowry.

Jia Lian found an Arhat couch to rest his feet. When he was lying down, he closed his eyes, his head was full of rice and plums, and then gradually fell asleep.

Jia Lian had a dream, and at first he saw the emperor, discussing some things like canal repairs, and the emperor complained to him about the lack of food for the border garrison.Jia Lian was about to tell the emperor the plan in his heart, when suddenly the scene changed, the resplendent and resplendent hall suddenly became empty, a white mist rose from the bottom of the feet, and the scenery was so beautiful that the stone arch bridge, the lotus pond, and a majestic towering palace could be vaguely seen. palace floating in the sky.

Jia Lian stared intently with her hands behind her back, shook her head, and sighed in her heart: This dream of mine is so illogical.

Then the white mist under the feet became heavier and heavier, Jia Lian bent over to fish, it was a little cold, a bit like dry ice for stage effect.Jia Lian took two steps, and suddenly saw four large characters "Taixu illusory realm" engraved on a stone.

Jia Lian's eyes widened slightly, he quickly sorted out his thoughts, and laughed.Unexpectedly, he was so lucky that he had the opportunity to visit the heavens, but he didn't know what the price of this free trip would be.

While Jia Lian was laughing at himself, he saw a graceful woman walking over enchantingly.The reason why she is said to be enchanting is because her clothes are not so expensive, and there is still a hint of charm in her eyes.

"Second Master Lian, you can teach people how to wait!" The woman rushed over with a blink of an eye, and she was in front of Jia Lian in an instant.

"I live above the sky of Lihen, in the sea of ​​sorrow, and I am Fangchun Mountain's Fragrance Cave, which is too illusory and illusory. It is also the fairy girl of the police fantasy; she is in charge of the customs of the world, and the woman in charge of the world complains about men and idiots." Jing Huan reported to himself. doorway. ① Jia Lian looked at her, but said nothing.

Jing Huan raised his neck and waited for a while in a charming and enchanting manner, but when Jia Lian did not respond, he was somewhat dissatisfied and puzzled, and frowned at him, only to find that Jia Lian's eyes were staring at his body.

Fairy Jing Huan sneered, how could this Jia Lian be like the monks and Taoists said, an inhuman and out-of-the-world wonder?He also said that Fengyue Baojian is useless to him, and a person who looks at her body so greedily must be lustful by nature.

"You—" Jing Huan was about to speak.

Jia Lian's body suddenly moved, Jing Huan was startled, and subconsciously took a step back, for fear that his pure body would be stained by Jia Lian's random touch.Jia Lian didn't move his eyes, nor did he pay attention to Jing Huan's reaction.He ignored Jing Huan, walked straight forward, and came to the edge of the lotus pond.

"I was far away just now, so I didn't pay attention. These water lilies are really well-raised. The stems are thick, the leaves are dark green, and the flowers are large and beautiful. They are like fairies jumping on the water. White, yellow, pink... yes It is common, but there is even purple, where did it come from? New species? Or is it unique to your heaven? By the way, there is night in heaven, and do water lilies grow here or bloom during the day and close at night?"
