Although there are not many people walking on Ningrong Street, some people still saw Jia Zhen, the patriarch of Ningguo Mansion, angrily leaving the gate of Rongguo Mansion, not even riding a horse or riding a cart, just walking quickly all the way. When he returned to Ningguo Mansion, it seemed that there was something disgusting about Rongguo Mansion, which made him wish to leave early.
After a while, Jia Zhen and a few servants were seen galloping out of Ningguo Mansion together on horseback, and they disappeared after a while.
People on Ningrong Street couldn't see Jia Zhen's figure, but the people from the Ministry of War did.He was originally a third-class general, so it was normal for him to return to the Ministry of War for promotion.It's just that he didn't stay in the Ministry of War much, he just handed over a letter of invitation to go to the frontier to serve the country, and then left the Ministry of War in a hurry.
Anyway, everyone felt that Jia Zhen had done all the things he should have done in the past few decades that day: he left Rongguo Mansion in the morning to go to the Ministry of War, and then returned to Ningguo Mansion from the Ministry of War, and it was time for lunch.Who knew that when he was about to go to the yamen in the afternoon, he brought some servants and appeared in front of the yamen of the household department.
According to the well-informed person, Jia Zhen asked to see the Minister of the Household Department directly, and brought several carts of things to the Minister of the Household Department.This makes people think twice-Jia Zhen went to the Ministry of War because he is a third-class general, which is quite excusable.But what did he go to the household department for?And blatantly brought a few cars of things to the Ministry of Finance?Then the Minister of the Household Department accepted all those things?Are you not afraid that the censor will fail to join them? !
People who didn't want to understand, they all understood when they participated in the Great Court Meeting on the second day.Dare to love Jia Zhen, the purpose of going to the household department is not to get closer to the secretary of the household department, but to pay back the money owed by their ancestors!
who?Who gave him the courage to dare to pay back the money when civil servants and military generals of the dynasty still reached out to borrow money from the household department from time to time? !How can this make those courtiers who owe money, especially those who owe money and are not treated by the present or the emperor, stand up? !
If it weren't for now or during the court meeting, Jia Zhen, who was in the last seat with his spare time as a third-class general, would have caused all the ministers in the court to spit and drown.But now he is still sitting high on the dragon chair, smiling and listening to the Secretary of the Household Department praise Jia Zhen as a flower.
But Jia Zhen knows that in her heart today, she must not be as happy as she appears on the surface, and she may still think that she went to the Ministry of Households to pay back the money yesterday.
They have already come to this point, and success or failure depends on it.Jia Zhen waited quietly for the current reaction of Shangshu Hubu after he finished boasting.After Hubu Shangshu finished playing, none of the courtiers came forward to agree with his praise of Jia Zhen, but no one whispered to each other.The entire Golden Luan Hall was eerily quiet.
It took a while to hear Jinjin asking: "Is Jia Zhen coming today?"
Jia Zhen heard her name being called from a distance, she came out from the tail of the generals, took two steps forward, and knelt down on the ground when she was almost in the middle of the hall: "The third general, Jia Zhen, greets Your Majesty." .”
Now there is no debate about happiness and anger on the face, and he asked downwards: "Zhang Shangshu of the household department heard about you repaying the silver owed to your ancestors. Why did you only think about repaying it yesterday after all these years?"
Jia Zhen paused and said to the ground again: "Returning to the Holy Lord, since the minister took over the title, he has no power outside the country and no ability to govern the family inside. As a result, the slaves in the mansion deceived the master and stole all the wealth of the minister's family. Until the minister's daughter-in-law a few days ago When he passed away, he found that there was nothing left in the mansion at the funeral. I had no choice but to search the homes of the servants in the mansion, and only then did I find out that the ancestor still owed money."
"I am incompetent in managing the family, but I can no longer be ashamed of the country. So after I went out of the city to discuss with my father, my father taught me that I must return the money owed to the state treasury. I will live up to the heart of my ancestors. In addition, I feel ashamed in my heart. Please allow the sage to allow Xu Chen to go to the frontier to serve."
The last sentence, like a handful of fine salt being sprinkled in a hot pot, caused buzzing whispers in the hall.Now the eyes looking at Jia Zhen became deep, and the tone was still calm: "Well, you have a heart. It's just that you have thought about where you want to work in the frontier, and what level do you want?"
Jia Zhen didn't raise her head, but still lowered her body and kowtowed to the ground: "If you go back to the saint, the minister's family has received the emperor's grace, no matter where the saint asks the minister to serve in the army, it will give the minister a chance to correct his mistakes, and let the minister Can become a useful person for the country. As for the theory of rank, I dare not think about it, even if I let my minister start as an ordinary soldier, I will have no complaints."
From the moment the money was owed, Jia Zhen was betting that the current poor emperor would not fail to have a word with him, the first courtier who owed the money.It is even more of a bet that he can't refute his words that he wants to serve the country in front of all the courtiers.
Although this is no different from asking someone to ask the Supreme Emperor to put pressure on the present, he has allowed the present to see real benefits, and he has also given the present an excuse to collect the owed money from the courtiers who owe money.
In this way, the matter of his going to the frontier is assured.Even if he is on guard against him now, he believes that even if he really starts as a soldier, with his great strength technique, he will have a bright future.
If you think about it even worse, even if he doesn't have a bright future, he will be able to successfully avoid the re-emergency of Yizhong County King—the incident of Iron Net Mountain mentioned by Feng Ziying in the original book, calculated according to time, It will happen soon - now that he has broken with the Rongguo Mansion again, then Jia Rong's life will be saved.With the addition of Jia Qiang, half of his mission is considered complete.
General, Jia Zhen once again despised the original owner's impracticality in her heart, and only thought that she could go to the battlefield. Whether she can become a general can only depend on luck.
Sitting on the dragon chair now, she thought for a while before asking the Minister of the Ministry of War, "Ministry of War, then Jia Zhen has invited her to serve in the frontier, is there any booklet?"
Jia Zhen is just an idle general, and she doesn't have much contact with the people of the Ministry of War on weekdays, so his notebook is still in the hands of the chief officer who received his notebook yesterday, even the Shangguan hasn't handed it over yet, where can I see the Minister of War ?
The sage had to answer the questions, so the Minister of the Ministry of War had no choice but to come out and say: "Back to the sage, Jia Zhen's notebook has not been handed over to the minister."
Nowadays, I also know that the various ministries are procrastinating, and they don't pursue the responsibility of the Ministry of War. They just ask: "In your opinion, is it feasible for Jia Zhen to go to the frontier to serve?"
Whether this is feasible or not depends on what the sage says.The Minister of the Ministry of War secretly hated Jia Zhen for making troubles, and hated him for paying back the money he owed quietly-now the six ministers, except for the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, are mostly those who are useful to the emperor, and none of them has failed to do so. The Ministry of Households has borrowed money from the treasury.
It's just that when I listened to the Minister of the Household Department's play just now, the tone was still brisk, and the voice was also cheerful. These ministers who have followed the current affairs for two or three years can naturally hear it.
It is true to say that these ministers are worthy of the emperor, but they have already sat on the dragon chair after all, and the majesty of the imperial power is still there.What's more, if there is a disagreement with the Supreme Emperor's political views today, these people can use some small means to make the government order act according to the Supreme Emperor's opinion.
It's a pity that Jia Zhen paid back the owed money quietly, and the Minister of the Household Department is a person of today. I'm afraid that the Supreme Emperor still doesn't know the news. Where can they go to guess whether the Supreme Emperor is willing to take it back? Treasury silver?
Seeing that the Minister of the Ministry of War did not answer for a long time, he couldn't help snorting: "Huh?"
The Minister of the Ministry of War had no other choice, so he had to play and said: "Hui Sheng, this Jia Zhen has the title of a third-class general, so she can't go out of Beijing at will." The Supreme Emperor must know the letter to make a decision.Procrastinate as long as you can.
No matter how much this kind of thing has gone through, for an emperor who has sat on the Dragon Throne for two or three years, he would not want to endure it even once.He said to the Minister of the Ministry of War: "Rules are not allowed to go out of Beijing at will. Could it be that with my will, he still can't go out of Beijing at will?"
Of course not, the Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty to the present.Now I just ask: "Then tell me, where is the right place for Jia Zhen to go, and what grade should be given to him?"
The Minister of the Ministry of War secretly groaned in his heart, but he didn't dare to say any more excuses.I had to play again: "Northwest has always been unstable. Even if Jia Zhen wants to serve the country, she should go to the place where people are most needed. As for the grade, this Jia Zhen has never led a soldier, and I have never heard of him. Knowing about military affairs. I think he needs to practice a little more. So even though he has the rank of a third-class general, he can't be dismissed rashly. Why don't you start with Chief Qian when you go to the Northwest? "
Ruthless, this Minister of the Ministry of War is worthy of being a person who can be a minister.The courtiers silently gave a thumbs up to Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War.
What is Northwest?
Although the border has been relatively calm in the past two years, there have been no major battles, and small battles still exist.Going there, it's unknown whether you can get a whole body.What's more, Jia Zhen herself is a third-class general, which is also a third-rank general.But what about Mr. Qian?It's just from the fifth rank, and it's dropped to five ranks all at once!
Even if Qian always has a real job, he has real power compared to a casual job like a third-class general.But don't forget, this is Mr. Qian in the northwest, not the garrison in Beijing or the mainland!
Even after hearing it now, his heart was moved. He thought it was a good idea. If Jia Zhen went to the northwest, then the general of the northwest would be his own, so it would be no problem to keep an eye on Jia Zhen.It is not a problem to send Jia Zhen to the most difficult and difficult place in the northwest to guard the border!At that time, whether Jia Zhen can come back alive is not a question that needs to be considered today-it is better not to come back alive!
After thinking about it, he asked now: "Jia Zhen, are you willing to go to the Northwest to be the chief executive?"
Yes, what's not to like?Originally, I thought about whether I had to start as a soldier, but now I am directly the head of Qian. Even if there is a vacancy, it can't be less than [-]%, right?Someone can handle it easily, and someone can treat himself as a general.
Jia Zhen leaned down again, and said upwards: "As long as the sage says it is suitable for me to go, I will go there."
When the courtiers heard that Jia Zhen was so nonchalant, they all took pleasure in his misfortune: You were asked to pay back the money, thinking it was a gesture of favor to the present, do you still want the present to reward you?How about now, this is to send you to die!
Now it is also known that Jia Zhen is the descendant of Ning Guogong, and the four princes and eight princes, the veteran officials of the Supreme Emperor, have always been honored by his old man.For fear that the Supreme Emperor would raise objections when he heard about it, he directly decided: "That's it, then the Ministry of War sent Jia Zhen a survey and cooperation document, ordering him to serve in the army. But you also have to clean up your home, so you can leave in a month."
Jia Zhen thanked the emperor for her kindness, and when she heard that there was nothing else to say now, she bowed and retreated to the end of the general's line, and continued to listen to the government affairs that had nothing to do with him.In the next month, if Jia Rong wants to leave Beijing, she has to pack her luggage. In addition, Jia Qiang can inspect the village and the shop once, so that Youshi and Xichun's life in Ningguo Mansion will not be affected. Influence.
But Jia Zhen paid back the money owed by the Ministry of Households, so how could it not have an impact on Youshi and the others' lives?Others didn't say anything, but after Jia Amnesty came down from the court, he came directly to ask Jia's mother: "Zhen'er went to pay back the money owed to the treasury by their mansion yesterday, old lady, isn't our mansion also owed the money to the treasury?" Should we pay it back too?"
What a fart!Mother Jia didn't expect that what Jia Zhen said in her room yesterday, she would actually dare to do it!Isn't he afraid of letting those who also owe money to the treasury kill them together? !
"What does the saint mean? Can he be rewarded?" It took a long time for Jia's mother to calm down the resentment towards Jia Zhen in her heart, and asked Jia's pardon.
Jia Amnesty shook his head and said, "There is no reward either. It's just that Zhen'er has invited herself to serve the country in the army, and the saint has already agreed. But it's the Northwest Frontier Army, so I'm afraid it will suffer."
"He is going to put our mansion on fire, and our mansion is going to suffer a lot!" Jia Mu, an old and sophisticated person, sees it better than Jia She: "He has paid back what he owes." Yin, I went to the northwest by myself, but outsiders saw that our two houses are one. I can't find him, and I can't find you two brothers?!"
Jia Amnesty really didn't expect this question, he could only ask: "Then what should we do now?"
What to do, what else to do?Jia Zhen has already handed over the silver to the Ministry of Accounts, can she get it back?But his own family must not be implicated by the Ningguo Mansion.Mother Jia bit her teeth: "That can only tell everyone that we and Ningguo Mansion are no longer one with Ning Rong."
Jia She felt that this operation was still difficult: "But the two mansions have always been close, and after Rong's daughter-in-law died, Lian's daughter-in-law was still a housekeeper. How can you say that the two mansions are not close, and no one believes it?"
Mother Jia is also worried about this problem.Looking at Jia She, who had a look of frustration on his face, he sighed again: "I don't know what Yuan Chun is like in the palace now, but we have offended the king of Yizhong County very much. That Jia Zhen, now It seems that he is going to run to Hei with Yizhong County King."
"It's really not possible, we can only divide the sects in our two mansions, so that people can really stop discussing the two mansions together." Jiamu said her plan.
Jia Amnesty, however, found it unacceptable: "Dividing the sect? This sect has always been more united and less divided, so why did it involve the division?"
Mother Jia yelled at Jia Amnesty with hatred: "There is no distinction between clans. Are we going to die together with the Naning State Mansion? He went to the northwest, and Rong'er only knows how to play without fame. Others don't Use that revenge on your brothers? Don't forget, Zheng'er is still working in the Ministry of Industry!"
Hearing that Jia Mu was still worried about Jia Zheng more at this time, Jia Amnesty only took a deep look at her, his face was quite calm, and he only bowed to Jia Mu and said, "That's the case, then wait for the second child to come down." After the office is settled, the old lady will discuss it with him." Saying that, he was about to walk away.
Jia's mother also knew that what she said just now was a bit hurtful, so she stopped Jia She and comforted him a few words, then asked someone to open her private treasury, took a few things and rewarded Jia She, and then she was able to keep him. , Waiting for Jia Zhengxia to come back together to discuss the division of the two governments.
Jia Zhen didn't expect Mother Jia to give herself such a big surprise. At that time, he was thinking about paying back the money, but he really only wanted to reduce the troubles of Ningguo Mansion as much as possible, which was not what Mother Jia thought. , Reporting the purpose of going back to the Rongguo Mansion.
However, even if it is a good thing that comes to your door, there is no reason to push it away.Jia Zhen showed reluctance on her face, and complained about the injustice of Rongguo Mansion to Brother Jia She, who came to him, and pushed herself, the patriarch, far away when encountering troubles.
"Even so, the second master has always been respected by the clan, so it's not as good as I, the patriarch, let the second master do well." Jia Zhen once again threw a seed of dissatisfaction between Jia She and Jia Zheng brothers.
Sure enough, these two didn't think that being the head of the Jia family would be too tiring, but they both became interested in being the head of the family.In the end, it was Jia's mother who made the decision, saying that Jia Zheng still had to run errands, so he couldn't take on more responsibilities, and put the name of patriarch on Jia She.
After hearing the result, Jia Zhen once again despised Jia's mother to a new level in her heart: balance. Up to now, the old lady still talked about balance, thinking that if Jia amnesty attacked the noble, then Jia Zheng would have to be the head of the house, which is considered two. Not owed.Now Jia Amnesty has complained about Jia Mu's partiality from time to time, and she gave the patriarch as a consolation prize to Jia Amnesty to appease him.
But the result of doing so is that both parties are even more dissatisfied!
However, Jia Zhen was too lazy to worry about Jia's mother's future for a few years. He separated from the Rongguo Mansion and gave up the position of patriarch. The sacrificial fields added to the original clan will be drawn out when Jia Rong returns to Jinling.
Jia Zhen took Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to set up another ancestral hall, invited the gods again, and then built the ancestral hall.It was time for Jia Rong to leave for Jinling.At this time, Jia Jing had asked Jia Zhen to invite him back, using the name of the branch clan in the two mansions, asking Jia Jing to return to the mansion to preside over the overall situation.
Looking at his grandson, who took a few servants and set out on the road, Jia Jing had tears in his eyes.He didn't see this grandson many times, but that was also his blood.Now that they are leaving like this, Jia Jing feels like running away in a panic no matter how he thinks about it.
"Zhen'er, you have to be more careful when you go here." Jia Jing looked at Jia Zhen who was packing her luggage, and babbled worriedly.In the past few days, he kept biting at himself for throwing away his son who had been for decades, as if he wanted to make up for what he hadn't seen before.
Jia Zhen was already immune to Jia Jing's nagging from time to time. He smiled and persuaded: "Master, don't worry, I can take care of myself. Besides, the people trained by Jiao Da and the others followed and escaped with their lives." It's always easy to come."
Jia Jing is not optimistic about this: "That's the Northwest. In those years, the Beirong people were not allowed to shovel grain and grass a few times. Besides, the Ministry of War directly lowered your grade so much. It can be seen that you went to the Northwest and didn't know how to take care of it. Where are you assigned to go?"
Jia Zhen herself is not without such worries.But he couldn't show it in front of Jia Jing, and said calmly on his face: "The more such a place is, the easier it is to make meritorious deeds. When my son has made meritorious deeds, who of them can hold me back?"
Seeing that he has such ambition, no matter how much he worries, Jia Jing can't say much, so he can only let him rest assured at home. Inquire about some news in Beijing.
Jia Zhen is very satisfied with this result.There was a man who stayed in the mansion with experience in officialdom, and he was indeed much better than that brat Jia Qiang.Although this person who passed through the officialdom is a bit timid, he still knows a lot more than Jia Qiang, and he is also of a much higher level than the people Jia Qiang knows.
"For things outside, the master should let Qiang'er do it, let him do it. This house will always have their support in the future, we can't always stand in front of them."
Jia Jing also understood this, and complied with Jia Zhen's words.But there is one more thing that Jia Zhen wants to explain to Jia Jing: "When I picked up my sister back that day, I told her that before my mother left that day, I said that I would give my mother's dowry to my sister. Even the master has always cared about my sister. She is still younger now, so the master should not worry too much about some things."
The reason why he said such words at this time was because Jia Jing still treated Xichun indifferently after returning home, which was different from what he said about Xichun.Now that the family is in a hurry, Xichun may not feel it yet, but when she leaves, Xichun, who is sensitive by nature, should gradually feel it.
If that girl felt it, if she thought about going to the Rongguo Mansion for help again, the Rongguo Mansion would wish to have a reason to discredit her, and she didn't know what it would be like to pass on her family.Then Jia Zhen's previous efforts were in vain.
Jia Jing heard that Jia Zhen directly gave Xichun all the dowry of his late wife, and he was also surprised: "No nonsense, she has her own dowry, and the public also has a share. Why give her the entire dowry of your mother."
Jia Zhen had no choice but to persuade: "My younger sister is always a girl. When she goes to her husband's house in the future, she will have a bigger dowry in her hand, so she can be more confident. Besides, the master thinks about it, if my younger sister gets married well in the future, she can still ignore her nephew."
Jia Jing thought it was Jia Zhen's plan, and said: "She is still young, I'm afraid it will take a few years before she can propose marriage."
Jia Zhen also nodded: "It's nothing, wait for another three to five years, I'm afraid the situation in Beijing will become clearer. It's good to show my younger sister a look at that time, so that I don't know what the person I'm looking for is like, In that case, my sister might as well not marry."
At this time, Jia Jing felt that what Jia Zhen said was reasonable, so he didn't say any more.
A month's time, there is always a time in the past.It was still time for Jia Zhen to leave home.There is no waterway to the northwest, so you can only ride a horse.Farewell to the family, and kowtowed to Jia Jing again, so that Jia Qiang didn't have to do the trick of seeing him off for ten miles. He brought his servants, and ten guards selected from Jiao Da and the others, and went out together on horseback. the city gate.
Looking back at the city wall behind her, Jia Zhen felt that she probably didn't have to come back.
After a while, Jia Zhen and a few servants were seen galloping out of Ningguo Mansion together on horseback, and they disappeared after a while.
People on Ningrong Street couldn't see Jia Zhen's figure, but the people from the Ministry of War did.He was originally a third-class general, so it was normal for him to return to the Ministry of War for promotion.It's just that he didn't stay in the Ministry of War much, he just handed over a letter of invitation to go to the frontier to serve the country, and then left the Ministry of War in a hurry.

According to the well-informed person, Jia Zhen asked to see the Minister of the Household Department directly, and brought several carts of things to the Minister of the Household Department.This makes people think twice-Jia Zhen went to the Ministry of War because he is a third-class general, which is quite excusable.But what did he go to the household department for?And blatantly brought a few cars of things to the Ministry of Finance?Then the Minister of the Household Department accepted all those things?Are you not afraid that the censor will fail to join them? !

But Jia Zhen knows that in her heart today, she must not be as happy as she appears on the surface, and she may still think that she went to the Ministry of Households to pay back the money yesterday.

It took a while to hear Jinjin asking: "Is Jia Zhen coming today?"

The last sentence, like a handful of fine salt being sprinkled in a hot pot, caused buzzing whispers in the hall.Now the eyes looking at Jia Zhen became deep, and the tone was still calm: "Well, you have a heart. It's just that you have thought about where you want to work in the frontier, and what level do you want?"
Jia Zhen didn't raise her head, but still lowered her body and kowtowed to the ground: "If you go back to the saint, the minister's family has received the emperor's grace, no matter where the saint asks the minister to serve in the army, it will give the minister a chance to correct his mistakes, and let the minister Can become a useful person for the country. As for the theory of rank, I dare not think about it, even if I let my minister start as an ordinary soldier, I will have no complaints."

The Minister of the Ministry of War secretly groaned in his heart, but he didn't dare to say any more excuses.I had to play again: "Northwest has always been unstable. Even if Jia Zhen wants to serve the country, she should go to the place where people are most needed. As for the grade, this Jia Zhen has never led a soldier, and I have never heard of him. Knowing about military affairs. I think he needs to practice a little more. So even though he has the rank of a third-class general, he can't be dismissed rashly. Why don't you start with Chief Qian when you go to the Northwest? "
Ruthless, this Minister of the Ministry of War is worthy of being a person who can be a minister.The courtiers silently gave a thumbs up to Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War.
What is Northwest?
Although the border has been relatively calm in the past two years, there have been no major battles, and small battles still exist.Going there, it's unknown whether you can get a whole body.What's more, Jia Zhen herself is a third-class general, which is also a third-rank general.But what about Mr. Qian?It's just from the fifth rank, and it's dropped to five ranks all at once!
Even if Qian always has a real job, he has real power compared to a casual job like a third-class general.But don't forget, this is Mr. Qian in the northwest, not the garrison in Beijing or the mainland!
Even after hearing it now, his heart was moved. He thought it was a good idea. If Jia Zhen went to the northwest, then the general of the northwest would be his own, so it would be no problem to keep an eye on Jia Zhen.It is not a problem to send Jia Zhen to the most difficult and difficult place in the northwest to guard the border!At that time, whether Jia Zhen can come back alive is not a question that needs to be considered today-it is better not to come back alive!
After thinking about it, he asked now: "Jia Zhen, are you willing to go to the Northwest to be the chief executive?"
Yes, what's not to like?Originally, I thought about whether I had to start as a soldier, but now I am directly the head of Qian. Even if there is a vacancy, it can't be less than [-]%, right?Someone can handle it easily, and someone can treat himself as a general.
Jia Zhen leaned down again, and said upwards: "As long as the sage says it is suitable for me to go, I will go there."
When the courtiers heard that Jia Zhen was so nonchalant, they all took pleasure in his misfortune: You were asked to pay back the money, thinking it was a gesture of favor to the present, do you still want the present to reward you?How about now, this is to send you to die!
Now it is also known that Jia Zhen is the descendant of Ning Guogong, and the four princes and eight princes, the veteran officials of the Supreme Emperor, have always been honored by his old man.For fear that the Supreme Emperor would raise objections when he heard about it, he directly decided: "That's it, then the Ministry of War sent Jia Zhen a survey and cooperation document, ordering him to serve in the army. But you also have to clean up your home, so you can leave in a month."
Jia Zhen thanked the emperor for her kindness, and when she heard that there was nothing else to say now, she bowed and retreated to the end of the general's line, and continued to listen to the government affairs that had nothing to do with him.In the next month, if Jia Rong wants to leave Beijing, she has to pack her luggage. In addition, Jia Qiang can inspect the village and the shop once, so that Youshi and Xichun's life in Ningguo Mansion will not be affected. Influence.
But Jia Zhen paid back the money owed by the Ministry of Households, so how could it not have an impact on Youshi and the others' lives?Others didn't say anything, but after Jia Amnesty came down from the court, he came directly to ask Jia's mother: "Zhen'er went to pay back the money owed to the treasury by their mansion yesterday, old lady, isn't our mansion also owed the money to the treasury?" Should we pay it back too?"
What a fart!Mother Jia didn't expect that what Jia Zhen said in her room yesterday, she would actually dare to do it!Isn't he afraid of letting those who also owe money to the treasury kill them together? !
"What does the saint mean? Can he be rewarded?" It took a long time for Jia's mother to calm down the resentment towards Jia Zhen in her heart, and asked Jia's pardon.
Jia Amnesty shook his head and said, "There is no reward either. It's just that Zhen'er has invited herself to serve the country in the army, and the saint has already agreed. But it's the Northwest Frontier Army, so I'm afraid it will suffer."
"He is going to put our mansion on fire, and our mansion is going to suffer a lot!" Jia Mu, an old and sophisticated person, sees it better than Jia She: "He has paid back what he owes." Yin, I went to the northwest by myself, but outsiders saw that our two houses are one. I can't find him, and I can't find you two brothers?!"
Jia Amnesty really didn't expect this question, he could only ask: "Then what should we do now?"
What to do, what else to do?Jia Zhen has already handed over the silver to the Ministry of Accounts, can she get it back?But his own family must not be implicated by the Ningguo Mansion.Mother Jia bit her teeth: "That can only tell everyone that we and Ningguo Mansion are no longer one with Ning Rong."
Jia She felt that this operation was still difficult: "But the two mansions have always been close, and after Rong's daughter-in-law died, Lian's daughter-in-law was still a housekeeper. How can you say that the two mansions are not close, and no one believes it?"
Mother Jia is also worried about this problem.Looking at Jia She, who had a look of frustration on his face, he sighed again: "I don't know what Yuan Chun is like in the palace now, but we have offended the king of Yizhong County very much. That Jia Zhen, now It seems that he is going to run to Hei with Yizhong County King."
"It's really not possible, we can only divide the sects in our two mansions, so that people can really stop discussing the two mansions together." Jiamu said her plan.
Jia Amnesty, however, found it unacceptable: "Dividing the sect? This sect has always been more united and less divided, so why did it involve the division?"
Mother Jia yelled at Jia Amnesty with hatred: "There is no distinction between clans. Are we going to die together with the Naning State Mansion? He went to the northwest, and Rong'er only knows how to play without fame. Others don't Use that revenge on your brothers? Don't forget, Zheng'er is still working in the Ministry of Industry!"
Hearing that Jia Mu was still worried about Jia Zheng more at this time, Jia Amnesty only took a deep look at her, his face was quite calm, and he only bowed to Jia Mu and said, "That's the case, then wait for the second child to come down." After the office is settled, the old lady will discuss it with him." Saying that, he was about to walk away.
Jia's mother also knew that what she said just now was a bit hurtful, so she stopped Jia She and comforted him a few words, then asked someone to open her private treasury, took a few things and rewarded Jia She, and then she was able to keep him. , Waiting for Jia Zhengxia to come back together to discuss the division of the two governments.
Jia Zhen didn't expect Mother Jia to give herself such a big surprise. At that time, he was thinking about paying back the money, but he really only wanted to reduce the troubles of Ningguo Mansion as much as possible, which was not what Mother Jia thought. , Reporting the purpose of going back to the Rongguo Mansion.
However, even if it is a good thing that comes to your door, there is no reason to push it away.Jia Zhen showed reluctance on her face, and complained about the injustice of Rongguo Mansion to Brother Jia She, who came to him, and pushed herself, the patriarch, far away when encountering troubles.
"Even so, the second master has always been respected by the clan, so it's not as good as I, the patriarch, let the second master do well." Jia Zhen once again threw a seed of dissatisfaction between Jia She and Jia Zheng brothers.
Sure enough, these two didn't think that being the head of the Jia family would be too tiring, but they both became interested in being the head of the family.In the end, it was Jia's mother who made the decision, saying that Jia Zheng still had to run errands, so he couldn't take on more responsibilities, and put the name of patriarch on Jia She.
After hearing the result, Jia Zhen once again despised Jia's mother to a new level in her heart: balance. Up to now, the old lady still talked about balance, thinking that if Jia amnesty attacked the noble, then Jia Zheng would have to be the head of the house, which is considered two. Not owed.Now Jia Amnesty has complained about Jia Mu's partiality from time to time, and she gave the patriarch as a consolation prize to Jia Amnesty to appease him.
But the result of doing so is that both parties are even more dissatisfied!
However, Jia Zhen was too lazy to worry about Jia's mother's future for a few years. He separated from the Rongguo Mansion and gave up the position of patriarch. The sacrificial fields added to the original clan will be drawn out when Jia Rong returns to Jinling.
Jia Zhen took Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to set up another ancestral hall, invited the gods again, and then built the ancestral hall.It was time for Jia Rong to leave for Jinling.At this time, Jia Jing had asked Jia Zhen to invite him back, using the name of the branch clan in the two mansions, asking Jia Jing to return to the mansion to preside over the overall situation.
Looking at his grandson, who took a few servants and set out on the road, Jia Jing had tears in his eyes.He didn't see this grandson many times, but that was also his blood.Now that they are leaving like this, Jia Jing feels like running away in a panic no matter how he thinks about it.
"Zhen'er, you have to be more careful when you go here." Jia Jing looked at Jia Zhen who was packing her luggage, and babbled worriedly.In the past few days, he kept biting at himself for throwing away his son who had been for decades, as if he wanted to make up for what he hadn't seen before.
Jia Zhen was already immune to Jia Jing's nagging from time to time. He smiled and persuaded: "Master, don't worry, I can take care of myself. Besides, the people trained by Jiao Da and the others followed and escaped with their lives." It's always easy to come."
Jia Jing is not optimistic about this: "That's the Northwest. In those years, the Beirong people were not allowed to shovel grain and grass a few times. Besides, the Ministry of War directly lowered your grade so much. It can be seen that you went to the Northwest and didn't know how to take care of it. Where are you assigned to go?"
Jia Zhen herself is not without such worries.But he couldn't show it in front of Jia Jing, and said calmly on his face: "The more such a place is, the easier it is to make meritorious deeds. When my son has made meritorious deeds, who of them can hold me back?"
Seeing that he has such ambition, no matter how much he worries, Jia Jing can't say much, so he can only let him rest assured at home. Inquire about some news in Beijing.
Jia Zhen is very satisfied with this result.There was a man who stayed in the mansion with experience in officialdom, and he was indeed much better than that brat Jia Qiang.Although this person who passed through the officialdom is a bit timid, he still knows a lot more than Jia Qiang, and he is also of a much higher level than the people Jia Qiang knows.
"For things outside, the master should let Qiang'er do it, let him do it. This house will always have their support in the future, we can't always stand in front of them."
Jia Jing also understood this, and complied with Jia Zhen's words.But there is one more thing that Jia Zhen wants to explain to Jia Jing: "When I picked up my sister back that day, I told her that before my mother left that day, I said that I would give my mother's dowry to my sister. Even the master has always cared about my sister. She is still younger now, so the master should not worry too much about some things."
The reason why he said such words at this time was because Jia Jing still treated Xichun indifferently after returning home, which was different from what he said about Xichun.Now that the family is in a hurry, Xichun may not feel it yet, but when she leaves, Xichun, who is sensitive by nature, should gradually feel it.
If that girl felt it, if she thought about going to the Rongguo Mansion for help again, the Rongguo Mansion would wish to have a reason to discredit her, and she didn't know what it would be like to pass on her family.Then Jia Zhen's previous efforts were in vain.
Jia Jing heard that Jia Zhen directly gave Xichun all the dowry of his late wife, and he was also surprised: "No nonsense, she has her own dowry, and the public also has a share. Why give her the entire dowry of your mother."
Jia Zhen had no choice but to persuade: "My younger sister is always a girl. When she goes to her husband's house in the future, she will have a bigger dowry in her hand, so she can be more confident. Besides, the master thinks about it, if my younger sister gets married well in the future, she can still ignore her nephew."
Jia Jing thought it was Jia Zhen's plan, and said: "She is still young, I'm afraid it will take a few years before she can propose marriage."
Jia Zhen also nodded: "It's nothing, wait for another three to five years, I'm afraid the situation in Beijing will become clearer. It's good to show my younger sister a look at that time, so that I don't know what the person I'm looking for is like, In that case, my sister might as well not marry."
At this time, Jia Jing felt that what Jia Zhen said was reasonable, so he didn't say any more.
A month's time, there is always a time in the past.It was still time for Jia Zhen to leave home.There is no waterway to the northwest, so you can only ride a horse.Farewell to the family, and kowtowed to Jia Jing again, so that Jia Qiang didn't have to do the trick of seeing him off for ten miles. He brought his servants, and ten guards selected from Jiao Da and the others, and went out together on horseback. the city gate.
Looking back at the city wall behind her, Jia Zhen felt that she probably didn't have to come back.
