The Happy Man in the Red Chamber

After the fifteenth day, Jia Zhu returned to the capital with exhaustion all over his body.At this time, Jia Zheng's house was almost built, because Jia She was willing to spend money on it, and said that he paid for his younger brother's house, and spent 2 to [-] taels of silver. The materials used are good, after all, it makes people look at him as a good brother.

Jia Zheng looked at his house, pavilions, towers and pavilions, even Taihu Lake stones in the south of the Yangtze River.Needless to say, Hupaozi was built as a garden shared by the three families of Rongning Jia, not to mention resting and planting lotus flowers.The surrounding willows are said to have been transplanted from other people's homes.

With such an arrangement, Jia's mother dared not mention it even if she complained.After all, what Jia Zheng is saying to the outside world is that the children and grandchildren are grown up, and the government will be divided.Outside, it still uses the name of Rongguo Mansion.But if Jia pardons that bastard and makes a fuss about expelling the family and establishing his own family, then Jia Zheng's future will be completely ruined.Not to mention, future arrangements.You know, although Jia Zhu was admitted as a scholar, looking at her body, she might not be able to support Juren.How important is a quota of supervisors.Not to mention, the child will be brought back in the future.There is also the matter of Yuanchun entering the palace, the name of Rongguo Mansion is more useful than anything else.

She thought clearly, and she explained it clearly to Jia Zheng.For the sake of glory in the future, let's stay low and be small now.Jia She is not someone who can do things. As long as he can't enter the court, even if he is a first-class general now, he can only be a third-class general when Jia Lian arrives, and a fifth-class general in the future.It came down again and again, and the Rongguo Mansion built by Xie would no longer be usable.

At the same time, Jia's mother also had a decision in her heart, and that was Jia Lian.Right now, Jia Amnesty has only one child, Jia Lian, but Jia Zheng has three sons including the one he wants to bring back.The emperor will certainly not treat Jia Zheng badly, but that will happen when Baoyu becomes an adult in the future.If Zhu'er can pass the quota of supervising students and win the Jinshi directly, then as long as the father and son are eliminated, Jia Zheng can inherit the title.Although within the clan, Jia Zheng drove away the clan and set up his own family, which is very unpleasant.But in the official family, Jia Zheng still has the right to inherit.

Jia Amnesty didn't know about Jia's mother's calculations, but An Lan didn't have much feeling for those things.Jia Lian is the next descendant of the Huajian School, if it's just that such a small amount of backyard calculations can't work out, then there will be no need to talk about the happy world in the future.

After the full moon reunion day, because Jia Zhu came back and was in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the two families were very lively.Jia Zhu was the eldest son, but Jia Zheng didn't tell him about leaving the clan.I just briefly explained that he is getting old, and it is difficult for him to live with his uncle's family because he will have a family in the future.Jia Zhu knew that there was quite a lot of talk outside about her mother taking care of the uncle's back house.It's good to live separately now.

As the winter solstice approached, the house was fully completed and a good day was selected. Jia Zheng moved with Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.Although many people wondered why Mother Jia wanted to live with her younger son, but Mother Jia said that she liked the service of her younger son, and at the same time thought that Jia Amnesty was a step-son and step-mother relationship, which was not very good.Also understand.

After Jia's mother moved, she found a time to invite some old sisters, and it was very lively for a few days.An Lan went there once, but she didn't go again on the pretext that things at home needed to be taken care of.Because of Baoyu's young age, Jia's mother had been with her since birth, and Mrs. Wang was originally unwilling.But now that he knows the truth and has regained his own flesh and blood, he doesn't care anymore.It's just that she is a person who is used to being careful. Whenever she prepares a copy for Jia Yan, she will also bring a copy and send it to Jia's mother for Baoyu.I will go and have a look if I have nothing to do, after all, the glory of the whole family will be on this child in the future.

After the winter solstice, the Chinese New Year is about to begin.Jiangnan Salt Administration Li Ke resigned at an old age, and the emperor ordered Lin Ruhai, who was the magistrate in Liancheng, to be promoted to the Jiangnan Salt Affairs Inspection Commissioner to supervise the Salt Administration.Hearing the news, Jia Amnesty wrote a letter overnight and asked people to send it to Yangzhou.On the one hand, he hoped that Lin Ruhai could teach Jia Lian, and on the other hand, he wrote a letter to his younger sister Jia Min, who came from the same mother, explaining in detail about Jia's mother and the ins and outs of the mansion over the years.

After being separated from the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Jing was not in a hurry to go to court, but went to the palace to face the saint, and stayed at home until the end of the year when he was sick.However, no matter whether it is Jia Amnesty or Zhenzong who is sitting on the throne, they all know that he is just pretending to be sick.But Zhenzong didn't urge him when he thought of the shabby things in the Jia family.After the new year, during the first great dynasty, the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty saw Jia Jing in the imperial court for the first time, dressed in Ning Guogong Shixun's court uniform.

"My emperor... Long live... Long live... Long live..."

Following the instructions of the Ministry of Rites, the prostrations ended, and Zhenzong looked at Jia Jing who was standing in the position of military attache, and raised the corners of his mouth.

"The old year has just passed, and I am very relieved to see Bo Zhaozhen. Zensheng is standing on the side of the military officer?" Zhenzong looked at Jia Jing who was standing in the rank of military officer, and he was very proud of calling him.I thought to myself, no matter what, didn't you come out of some mouse hole for me?

When Jia Jing heard that the emperor didn't care about political affairs, he was the first to call him and suddenly felt a suffocation in his chest.He walked out of the queue with his head down, bowed and said, "My Majesty, this minister is Ning Guogong. It is produced by a military officer, so it must be a military rank."

"Go and stand where the civil servants are!" Zhenzong waved his hand to express his indifference: "Now that you have been away from the court for many years, you can walk in the cabinet for the time being."

Listening to Zhenzong's indifferent words, Jia Jing curled his lips, thinking that he would be ill again in two days.With that in mind, he lowered his head and entered the queue of civil servants.

As for Jia Jing, apart from the newcomers in recent years, there is no old man in the court who does not know.It is said that the emperor is not good at women, and the only one he favors is Jia Bozhao.Originally thinking that it must be due to old age and fading, and dare not be at home, the female relatives had to go to the Taoist temple.But he didn't want to, and he came back to court again.Seeing the meaning of the emperor, he will also be promoted in the future.

Such an opportunity makes some people very unfair.So it's not good to look at Jia Jing.Zhenzong sat high above, and he didn't know what happened below.Just looking at the excitement, thinking that Jia Jing looks submissive now, but he doesn't want to go into the muddy water.After all, he is not young, and it is time to choose an heir.In other words, the DPRK and China will also start to allocate positions for storage.Whether it's the Ningguo Mansion, or those rumored male favorites whom he deliberately let people go for a walk, they will mix Jia Jing into it.After two days, he must be seriously ill and unable to go to court...

Thinking of this, Zhenzong reached out and touched the beard on his chin, and a calculation suddenly rose.Right now, he doesn't have a concubine he likes, and the only person he likes has only one son left behind because of conspiracy.In order to keep this son, he could only treat him coldly.Thinking about whether or not to do something since Jia Jing entered the court.

Jia Jing stood where he was, and suddenly felt cold in his heart.He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhenzong, thinking in his heart that this person looked like he might be spitting something bad.Don't count on him.

At the beginning of the year, there was no big event.It's just a summary of the previous year and an outlook for the next year.After chattering a lot, they left.The cabinet members, clan princes, some cabinet walkers and six ministers went to the main hall of the cabinet one after another, waiting for the emperor to discuss matters.

Jiang Cheng looked at Jia Jing, smiled and stepped forward to invite him.Jia Jing looked at Jiang Cheng and didn't refuse.The two walked over slowly.

"I haven't seen it in a few years, but I haven't seen any changes."

"Why hasn't it changed? My grandson is going to marry a wife!" Jia Jing sighed, and walked beside Jiang Cheng: "You and I knew each other when we were children, how did you marry such a wife to Enhou?"

"I can't blame me for this." Jiang Cheng waved his hands again and again, but he knew that Jia Jing might have suffered from some woman.Otherwise, I wouldn't say that.He turned his head and looked at Jia Jing: "Back then, when I wanted to continue the strings for my brother-in-law, I didn't want my brother-in-law to die. I didn't say anything. It's just that old lady Shi in your family said that Lian'er has reached the age of getting married and seeing his wife. There is a mistress who is in charge of the family. She recommended a girl from her natal family. Do you think this matter can be allowed? The Zhen family also photographed and said, after a lot of deliberation, they could only choose one from Jiangnan. After all, the Xing family is a big family in Jiangnan. It’s not even humiliating.”

Jia Jing snorted with his hands behind his back: "You sound nice, the relationship is not because you are married."

Jiang Cheng spread his hands innocently, it was really not him who married.But you can't say this to Jia Jing. Although the two have not been in touch for many years, they are still shouldering the burden in the end.

Seeing that he was silent, Jia Jing didn't keep asking.Changed the topic and talked about the current court affairs: "You are now the elder of the pavilion, after all, you are worshiping the prime minister. But I think it is difficult to say in the court at present. Which prince does the emperor belong to in his heart?"

Hearing such a sensitive topic, Jiang Cheng looked around and saw that the others were far away, and said in a low voice, "The third prince and the fifth prince, choose one of them!"

"He's not going to choose King Zhongshun? That's the eldest son of the emperor, right?" Jia Jing thought of the eldest prince born by the noble concubine of the Zhen family.

Jiang Cheng glanced at his mouth and smiled: "It's not like you didn't know about An Minzhi back then. If you hated it, how could you let their family get the top position. These years, the flowers, birds, fish and insects, those who play with things and lose their minds, want to raise them in the ruins. But in the end, The influence of Cihang Jingzhai on the aristocratic family is still there, I'm afraid it's hard to say."

"Sorceress!" Jia Jing curled his lips.Jiang Cheng chuckled: "Even if you know, what can you do? Who doesn't want to have another Wu Zhou? Back then, even the sons of the Zhang family were willing to go out, otherwise how could there be Li Tang behind? It can't be said, it's still the same old thing. It's just Qixiu After all, there is a Yuhuan Taizhen in Fangfang, and it sounds like it can compete with Cihang Jingzhai in terms of martial arts. It depends on His Majesty's attitude. These two princes don't have a concubine yet."

"That's not a person who is comfortable in the room." Thinking of the woman with outstanding martial arts and flying like a celestial being, Jia Jing curled his lips.

Jiang Cheng looked at him, amused: "You are...haha..." He smiled heartily, looking at Jia Jing's face that was about to darken, he suddenly understood.Hearing his laugh, Jia Jing frowned and said nothing.

However, it is rare for Jiang Cheng to meet him, so he wants to say something detailed: "Let's not talk about the woman, it's time for selection. The spring of next year will be the general election. The last time Yuanchun in your family left a sign, But if there is no allocation, there may be one this time. In addition, there may be three girls from the Zhen family. I think it should be one for each of the three princes."

Jia Jing heard the words and stood aside.At this time, they had already walked into the red wall alleyway: "Cihang Jingzhai made a good plan, but you have to know how to spread it like this..."

Jiang Cheng lowered his head and looked around: "This has nothing to do with Cihang Jingzhai. It is reported that Cihang Jingzhai chose to give to the next emperor, and he is not yet three years old. The Zhen family is just worried. The imperial concubine is still there but said After all, the old lady of the Zhen family still understands some of the emperor's thoughts. Therefore, there are many preparations."

Thinking of Baoyu at Jia Zheng's place, Jia Jing nodded: "So, we still have to wait for the crown prince to be elected before they make any movement. But the emperor's health is good now, and he will have it in the past ten years. Maybe, 30 Years are not necessarily the same. Young ones are good after all.”

Jiang Cheng nodded: "But it's a pity that there are no Qixiufang people of the right age. Otherwise, Qihu would be equal."

Jia Jing understood what Jiang Cheng meant, and there was more of a sense of check and balance.He thought for a while: "Could it be that no girls from the capital were chosen?" Thinking of that woman marrying into the Jia family, wasn't it because of these things?

Jiang Cheng shook his head: "That woman has a very good relationship with my wife, and she was forced to rush, so she gave the Liuli brand. Right now, only my little granddaughter is suitable in my family, that is, three years old. The eldest princess's mansion, the age of Guoyihou's mansion You are still young. From other families, only the Bai family is left. But in a year, I am afraid that she will be the opponent of the daughter of the Zhen family. What's more, it is only the imperial merchant..."

Jiang Cheng emphasized on the point of the imperial merchant, and Jia Jing nodded knowingly.There is really no comparison between the Huangshang and the Zhen family.Thinking of Lin Ruhai again: "Jiangnan is the headquarters of Cihang Jingzhai and Wulin, so inserting Lin Ruhai now...is it appropriate?"

"The Lin family originally belonged to the Lin family of Gusu, and the Lin family of Suzhou originally belonged to the lineage of Qiu Lin from Xianbei. They have been in Panheng in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and they can be regarded as a local snake. Let him go, and the waves will be much smaller than others. The Zhen family will not care, either. It's just that the emperor is going to the south of the Yangtze River this summer, so I'm afraid he will still live in Zhen's house this time."

Jiang Cheng looked at the sun, and stretched out his hand to signal Jia Jing to follow him.

"At the end of the day..." Jia Jing followed and smiled mockingly: "He still needs King Jia Shi Xue to contain the Zhen family in Jinling."

"That's something that can't be helped. After all, you are all cowards." Jiang Cheng smiled indifferently.This kind of trade-off is also a must for the emperor.He just knew that Jia Jing and that one had a good relationship when they were young.Later, without knowing what happened, there was a commotion about the one who ascended the throne, but Jia Jing went into the mountains and became a Taoist priest.

Jia Jing had things in his heart, and he chose to withdraw from the court because he didn't like the Zhen family and Cihang Jingzhai that group of witches.It was also because the man wanted to use Cihang Jingzhai to quarrel.Right now, for the sake of the family, but found that he still couldn't break free.Damn it!

After returning from court, Jia Jing sat alone in the study, thinking about what the man said and the letter before he left the imperial study. He looked at the extremely ordinary envelope on the table, gritted his teeth, held the envelope and went to Iraq. The side room of the main room where Shi took a nap.

Yishi looked at the letter he threw on the small coffee table, frowned and sat up: "What kind of temper are you throwing?"

She sat up and rubbed her still sore waist. Recently, she always felt uncomfortable, and her lower back was even more sore.Leaning on the pillow, he took the letter and prepared to open it. Jia Jing stopped her: "This is for that woman, I don't want to see you, help me pass the letter over!"

He said with a stiff face, the last time we met, it was a bad breakup.Can get there now.Upon hearing this, Yi felt that the letter was a bit hot, and threw it to him casually: "I've been feeling very unwell recently, and even my vagina is bleeding! I was thinking of seeing the imperial physician this afternoon, so you should go there by yourself! Shouting to pardon the younger brother is not considered a pass."

Jia Jing was very nervous when he heard this.He has always cherished his wife's body, so he doesn't care about the letter.He just got up and called someone to find the imperial doctor, and at the same time someone sent a letter to the next door.

When the letter arrived, An Lan was hugging Yingchun and eating charcoal grilling. The copper plate was brushed with oil, and the fresh venison and fish were sliced ​​with delicate knives, sizzling on it.Some sauces and dips are also complete.There are some green vegetables that are rare in winter and less bitter in spring.

Looking at the letter sent by Ningguo Mansion, she wrapped a piece of meat for Yingchun with lettuce and stuffed it into her small mouth waiting to be fed, wiped her hands, picked up the letter and opened it to read.

The person who wrote the letter did not politely reveal his identity, and at the same time lamented the princess's education.He also said that Cihang Jingzhai is good, but the character of a woman is good after all.In turn, he said that Yuhuan was too real, dancing in neon clothes and feathers.An Lan looked at it for a long time, but her mind was muddled and she didn't understand what this man meant.

She thought for a while, and threw it to Nanny Qian, "However, it means that we hope that we can match up with Cihang Jingzhai. Emperor Dayong said at the beginning of the country that the rivers and lakes are the world's affairs. But in the end, Cihang Jingzhai is not considered Jianghu, nor is our Seven Embroidery Workshop."

"Indeed, does the master have a good opinion?" Qian Momo thought for a while, folded the letter, and looked at An Lan.An Lan thought for a while: "The eight families of Qian, Chen, Bai, Jiang, Yue, Mei, Xu, and Zhao are all Jiangnan clans. I think it's okay to restore Fangshi in these years. Give them two places in the inner sect , a man and a woman. After testing the spiritual root, let them solve this matter. Send it to Waifang!"

Qian Momo glanced at An Lan and nodded.Neifang has been positioned as a sect of self-cultivation, so the disciples he accepts in the future must be of the four spiritual roots at the very least.Thinking about it this way, it is better to let the aristocratic family of Waifang handle the request of the mortal emperor.

After understanding what An Lan meant, Qian Momo went out and called the boy back, and asked them to wait for the news.

Jia Jing called the doctor, and concluded that there was something wrong with gynecology, and the body was too cold and damp and needed medicine.But it is not serious, as long as you have a good rest and avoid intercourse, etc., it will be cured within a year.After hearing this, I finally stopped worrying.

Zhenzong thought that if he gave Jia Jingxin, he would get a reply the next day.Unexpectedly, after waiting for three months, Jia Jing was going to ask for leave because his wife was seriously ill, but he didn't get it.Immediately felt that the Seven Embroidery Workshop had taken Joe.But just like that, there is even greater curiosity.Just as the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, Concubine Zhen was asked to hold a banquet for the family members of officials of rank four or above.He wanted to see what was so special about that woman.

An Lan's order went on, but for the Ba family, they could get the possibility of immortality. They themselves have a rich family background. How could a well-managed family be interested in the emperor's mundane affairs?It's just that the owner of the workshop ordered to deal with it. Presumably, the owner of the workshop is too lazy to deal with it.The contact over the years is also understandable.

It is precisely because they understand this that they are not in a hurry.Anyway, it will take some time before the next selection.There are also concubine daughters in the family, and the education is also taught by the foreign workshop except martial arts.Besides, the family marriage is not enough, how can I send it to the royal family to be a child?Maybe, he has good aptitude, so he can cultivate to the truth?
