[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 85

As soon as the news of Jia Lian's appointment as the second-rank Beijing official came out, the splash of Jia Zheng's relegation in the capital was completely silenced.

Although Ronghou Mansion has abandoned martial arts in the hands of Jia Lian and developed towards a civilized government, the honorable background of Ronghou Mansion cannot be changed.Since Emperor Zhaoming would reuse Jia Lian, who was born in a noble family, the other nobles put back the vigilance hairs that had been slightly erected because of Jia Zheng's affairs.

Jia Lian sat gracefully and calmly in the private room on the third floor of the restaurant, facing the toasts from Chen Yejun and others.Although the Ronghou Mansion has basically no contact with Xungui, except for the Ningguo Mansion, other families who have completely torn their skins will move around during the New Year's Eve. This time, Jia Lian's promotion will inevitably deal with them.

Even if he didn't want to, Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun sent an invitation post together, Jia Lian just waited to go to the banquet.Fortunately, although the two of them are also honorable queens, they are much better than the dandy who can't support the wall. At least both of them lead the real job of guards, so it's not bad to associate with them.

It was also in this life that Jia Lian discovered that the two dandies who had made friends with the Rongguo Mansion were different. In fact, apart from them, Wei Ruolan who married Shi Xiangyun and died on the battlefield was not an ordinary person.Although these few people have been hanging out in the dandy circle in the capital, they are not real dandies.

How could it be so simple to be able to lead the actual post of bodyguard in Situ Yuan's hands?

It's a pity that no one in the Rongguo Mansion in the previous life saw this. Jia Baoyu, the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, has acquainted with them because of his connections. Unfortunately, they are just friends with wine and meat, and Xue Pan, a big fool, got in the way...

Rongguo Mansion has such an ending, I really don't feel wronged!

Even though he thought so in his heart, Jia Lian still felt a little heartbroken when he saw the few people who were smiling and congratulating Yan Yan in front of him.

In his previous life, although Jia Shishi had many things he couldn't figure out, he still valued the relationship with these nobles. Every year, the Rongguo Mansion would send out a lot of annual gifts and rituals, but in the end these capable people were just Watching the end of the Rongguo Mansion, he didn't even mention anything.

What about this life?

Since Jia Lian surpassed Jia She to become Marquis of Rongguo, whether it was the Zhang family who was in charge before or Mei Xiruo who is now in charge of the house, they all just bowed out of courtesy, but these people's attitudes towards Ronghou's mansion are completely different. .Ah, it's actually the same, at least after he came back to the capital for so long, the Feng family and the Chen family only asked the housekeeper and mother-in-law to give a little something symbolically.

And as soon as the news of his appointment came out, this invitation post came to his door. Should he feel that the Ronghou Mansion has finally improved his status and influence in his hands, or should he feel that this world is really realistic and powerful?

Jia Lian smiled and mingled with everyone, but his heart was sour.Sure enough, compared to this kind of laborious court life, he still prefers the ignorant life of a dude in his previous life.However, he is no longer the fearless Jia Lian who does whatever he wants because of ignorance, so no matter how unwilling he is, he will continue this kind of life.

And his son Jia Cang and even his grandchildren will continue this kind of life.

Aristocratic families are not so easy to build.And he, who has accepted this ultimate task from the system, will work hard in this direction.Thinking of what the system said, as the host of the cultivation system of a nobleman from a family, how can he do without a matching background.Since the Jia family is not an aristocratic family, he will start building it.

This task really made his blood boil.

"Master Hou is going to serve in the Ministry of Officials this time, so you can support me a lot in the future." Feng Ziying's bold smile, coupled with his handsome face, is easy to make people feel good.

Hearing this, Jia Lian put down the wine glass in his hand, and smiled lightly: "As His Majesty's vassal, Guard Feng should not need Jia's support, it should be Jia who asked Guard Feng to speak well in front of His Majesty."

"Master Hou is really humble." Chen Yejun didn't wait for Feng Ziying to speak, and said first, "Come on, let's not talk about business today, let's drink and drink."

Under the suggestion of Chen Yejun's eyes, Feng Ziying lowered her eyes and said nothing.He had known about Jia Lian for a long time, and even when he was young, his father Feng Tang often mentioned this person to him by ear.He was both civil and military at a young age. He not only made contributions on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang, but also won the first prize in the imperial examination.

It can be said that no matter whether it is him or Chen Yejun, as long as the honorable queens who are similar in age to Jia Lian are forced to grow up compared with Jia Lian.And Jia Lian is indeed very good, so good that they can't catch up no matter what.But he is different from Chen Yejun and the others, he will still be unwilling.

It's okay to be compared, but why is this guy who has basically never been in the capital considered more important in His Majesty's eyes?Yes, Jia Lian is more capable than them, and his status is more suitable, but why Jia Lian can be a second-rank official, but he still has to continue to wear the shell of a dude!

Feng Ziying didn't dare to complain about Situ Yuan's arrangement, so she could only blame Jia Lian.But the current Jia Lian is not something he can offend.So he can only run on Jia Lian in words, but this one is not even willing to take such a small loss!

Glancing at Jia Lian who was chatting with Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan with a gentle smile, Feng Ziying only felt that the fire in her heart was burning hotter.He finally understood the feelings of his former immediate boss, King Zhongshun. He really couldn't like Jia Lian, but if he said he hated him... he still couldn't reach that level.

And thinking of King Zhongshun's current wife's strict life, Feng Ziying felt a chill hit her back.

Lin Xi, Princess Zhongshun, is Jia Lian's cousin. Although she has always been the only woman in Situ Rui's backyard, he occasionally plays tricks when he is outside.But I don't know when, he was firmly held in the palm of the princess.But thinking about it carefully, the time when Lin Xi's imperial husband skills became more and more powerful, wasn't it the time when Jia Lian was working in Yangzhou and became very close to the Lin family.

As a dandy, Feng Ziying is very satisfied with his life of sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows. If his wife also learned the art of imperial concubine Lin, would he still be able to live happily like now?

Feng Ziying immediately corrected her attitude, although Jia Lian was a little strange about it, she didn't think much about it.Although they are all honorable descendants, they are not a system, and there will not be much contact or even hostility in the court in the future.

Feng Ziying and the others didn't care, and he, Jia Lian, didn't want to leave an impression of collusion between civil and military affairs in Situ Yuan.But he also knew that besides being the host of their family, Feng Ziying and the others entertained him today, there must have been hints from Situ Yuan during the banquet.

So, Situ Yuan has always used his subordinates to the fullest, how could he be so kind to let him take such a long vacation.Even if there is no matter about Jia Zheng, this master will definitely use other things to cause trouble for the honorable descendants.

In this way, his second uncle is really unlucky.However, he didn't feel sorry for him at all.

After attending this banquet, Jia Lian's social interaction became frequent again.He calmly accepted Situ Yuan's way of diverting his gaze, and actively cooperated.Situ Yuan was very satisfied with this, didn't you see that he asked Empress Zhang Fang to give many things to Ronghou Mansion in the name of her cousin's pregnancy?

After several days of busy work, Jia Lian finally officially took office.

As the third in command of the Ministry of Officials, Jia Lian has only the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials.One of these two came from a scholarly family, and the other came from a poor family. Naturally, they would not be too enthusiastic about Jia Lian, a noble queen.Even if he has served in Yangzhou for several years in the name of the number one scholar, it is not so easy to be completely accepted by Qingliu.

Jia Lian, who had experienced it in the Imperial Academy a long time ago, was very calm about this. All he had to do was to get familiar with his work as soon as possible, and then get started.One day, Jia Lian, who finished processing the official documents in hand, got up and went to the courtyard of the Ministry of Officials to exercise. He ran into Shang Qing, who hadn't seen each other for nearly ten years, who used to be Situ Rui's companion.

Before Jia Lian decided whether to greet him, Shang Qing saw him first.He smiled and saluted Jia Lian: "Master Jia."

Jia Lian looked at him complicatedly with dark peach eyes, and finally nodded and replied: "Hello." After hesitating for a while, he asked again, "When did you come to the capital?"

"When Mr. Jia was still working in Yangzhou, he was an official and took part in the imperial examination. He was born as a second-class Jinshi. Then he was assigned to the Ministry of Officials to do the writing and posting style. Now he is a doctor in the Wenxuan Division." Shang Qing said neither overbearing nor humble, He was completely different from the one who looked at people with his head up.

With a sigh, Jia Lian didn't continue talking with him, and left the courtyard.He has changed, how can Shang Qing not change.The fact that Shang Wenjie committed such a thing and he was still able to serve in the official department, the head of the six departments, is enough to show that Shang Qing must have done something in private.Recalling what Situ Rui said to him when he left Beijing, there was still something he didn't understand.

Thinking about it, Shang Qing, like him, had already chosen Situ Yuan before he was made the crown prince.

The days passed slowly like this, even with a son who was a minor official in the Ministry of Rites, Jia Zheng was completely forgotten by everyone.Wang Ziteng is completely disappointed with this brother-in-law, it's fine if he can't help him at all, and he always hinders him.Coupled with the fact that the other girl had less and less contact with the Wang family, he was even less concerned about it.

Although the ancestors of the Wang family were in charge of overseas tributes, this position was no longer in the hands of the Wang family after the ancestors of the Wang family were gone.Even though the Wang family made a lot of money during that time, the Wang family did not produce a person who was good at management after that, but there were many dudes like Wang Zisheng and Wang Ren.

Naturally, the Wang family's property has been shrinking all the time, and the property of Wang Ziteng's generation is even less. In addition, Wang Ziteng is not the eldest son who inherits the title, so the property that can be distributed is even less.And he wanted to enjoy the official career without the support of money, and in the end this idea fell on the girl who was married to the Xue family.

At the beginning, Xue Wang's family was married to the Xue family by the head of the Wang family because of the large dowry gift from the Xue family, and then the Xue family naturally followed the Wang family and stood behind the prince.But this Xue Xun didn't know what he was thinking, he would give up his qualification as an imperial merchant at that time, and be separated from the eighth household of Xue's family!

Only later did Wang Ziteng realize Xue Xun's shrewdness, but at this time the Xue family was already gradually alienating from the Wang family.At that time, he hadn't realized that, after all, the festival gifts and annual gifts sent by the Xue family had not been reduced. It wasn't until this time that Xue Pan got married but didn't send a post to the Wang family, that he suddenly realized.

It turns out that the in-law relationship between his Wang family and the Xue family has almost reached the point where it exists in name only.
