Kyoto was the capital of the new dynasty, the center of power and wealth in the world, and the place where desires intertwined.
The port, from morning to night, is still full of people, one after another.
"Master, why has the price of parking silver increased again? We really can't afford it. Can you be accommodating?"
"Accommodating? You can be accommodating if you want to be accommodating. Then why don't you take my position?
Who do you think you are to be accommodating to me? Give me money, or get out if you don’t!"
"Give it, I'll give it!" The dark and rough boat boss wanted to cry but had no tears.
These are a bunch of bastards.
"An official ship is coming. Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" the clerk shouted.
A moment later, a three-story ship flying the Golden Dragon flag slowly docked at the port. After the cargo of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages were unloaded on the ship, Jia Zhengcai stepped off the ship under the guard of two Jinwu guards.
This is a common thing nowadays for escorting prisoners and businessmen using this official ship to do business and make extra money.
Does peace bring wealth?
Walking out of the port, Jia Zheng slowly glanced at his hometown, feeling filled with emotion.
He has been to this place many times and picked up many people. Every time he came here before, it was like a noble family, and everyone was looking up, worshiping and jealous of him.
What now? At most, only a few people glanced this way out of curiosity, and when they noticed the Jin Wuwei's clothes behind them, they quickly turned aside.
And he himself is already a prisoner.
Thinking back on the day I set out from Kyoto, I was in high spirits, and now I am dejected. It has only been a short year.
This world is really difficult for him to understand.
With his amazing talent, why can't he do great things? Why are the masters under him so short-sighted just for a little money?
If he follows his footsteps closely and completely follows his plan, how much money will he have when he becomes the Minister of Rites?
Why!
"Mr. Jia, please stop sighing. You have sighed thousands of times along the way. My brothers are feeling stuffy because of your sighs." Jin Wuwei behind him said with a smile.
Along the way, although Jia Zheng was nominally a prisoner, they did not neglect him at all. Not to mention the heavy clamps specially worn by prisoners, there were not even shackles.
And they gave Jia Zheng whatever they ate along the way.
Of course I am doing this not out of respect for Jia's family, but because I heard that Jia Zheng's sister, Lady Jia Min, will soon return to Beijing to report on her work.
They are afraid of death.
Suddenly, a little girl in a red dress walked slowly in front of her. She had bright eyes and a skin as white as snow.
"Stop, Jinwu Guards are doing their work, and everyone else is waiting to get out of the way!" The guards behind were very tough.
As Jinwu Guards, the imperial authority has granted permission to kill first and then report. Who are they afraid of?
Lin Daiyu glanced at them, and then looked at her second uncle.
Jia Zheng raised his hand, pursed his lips, and ripples gradually appeared in his eyes.
He didn't expect that he had committed a crime, his mother didn't come, and his wife didn't come. As a result, he, his niece, was the first one to come to pick him up.
This scene suddenly reminded him of the carefree time he spent with his sister Jia Min when he was a child.
This sister's pain is not in vain.
"Why, you didn't hear that? Which family are you from? Get out of the way!" Jin Wuwei was a little impatient.
Power makes them impatient with many things, and their tempers become even more intense.
Lin Daiyu took out a gold medal from her sleeve, showed it, and the ball of yellow on her shoulders spread out and screamed.
"Meow~"
"What is it? Let me tell you, no matter which company's token it is, it will not work with our Jinwu Guard. If we delay it any longer, we..." The guard's words stopped abruptly.
"I am here in person?" When he saw the words on the gold medal, the guard felt cold all over and broke into a sweat.
The two guards, including Jia Zheng, all knelt down directly.
"Greetings to your majesty, may your majesty be safe."
According to the rules, Lin Daiyu turned sideways and extended her gold medal to receive the gift. Then she bowed in the direction of the palace and said, "Good morning."
Then, the girl stepped forward and helped Jia Zheng up: "Second uncle, I'll take you home."
Jia Zheng's eyes turned red, his lips trembled for a while, and he hesitated: "The guilty minister still wears the body of guilty, Daiyu, you go back first."
Lin Daiyu looked at this uncle carefully. His hair was disheveled, his eyes were dark, and his beard was stuck together.
For Jia Zheng, the son of a prince and a gentleman who always regarded himself as a gentleman, I am afraid that such an image has not been easy for him these days.
"Uncle, don't worry. I asked your majesty, uncle. Firstly, you did not take bribes and bend the law, and secondly, you did not form a clique for personal gain. It was only because you were deceived by your master that you made a big mistake.
Moreover, the dignified King Beijing is interceding for you, so it will be okay." Lin Daiyu comforted her.
Jia Zheng's tears finally fell: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Daiyu, what did King Beijing and His Majesty say about me?"
"I didn't say anything. I even praised you, saying that you have a noble temperament, a clean moral character, and that you are not corrupt or embezzlement in your studies and administration. You have not experienced any corruption in the year since you took office. That's good.
Even if I have read decades of books into the dog's belly, I have read dead books, and I have been deceived to that extent by a young master and a few petty officials.
So stupid, hopelessly stupid."
Lin Daiyu continued to comfort her.
Jia Zheng;???
Are you trying to comfort me or stimulate me? Is this how your niece usually comforts people?
I'm already like this, and you still come here to tell me I'm stupid?
When my sister comes back, I will complain to her!
"Pfft~" The guard behind finally couldn't help laughing.
Jia Zheng had no expression on his face and turned to look at him. The guard quickly held back.
"Chichi~" Another guard made a sound and quickly lowered his head, but his whole body was trembling, trying to recall the saddest thing in his life.
"Okay, uncle, come back with me." Lin Daiyu took Jia Zheng's clothes with her little hand and walked directly to the carriage going back.
Wait until the two of them move a little further away.
"Hahahahaha~" Thunderous laughter suddenly sounded from behind.
Jia Zheng:.
Jia Mansion.
At the door, Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Wang and others stood at the door early, looking forward to it.
When Jia Zheng came back, everyone exchanged greetings again.
Mrs. Wang's mind was also settled. She just felt uncomfortable without a man in the house, not to mention that Baoyu at home had been fooling around somewhere these days.
Every time I talk about reading, I always talk about tomorrow.
How many tomorrows are there in life?
Before everyone could go home, Manager Chen arrived on a fast horse.
"The Holy One has a decree, and Jia Zheng takes it."
A group of people knelt down quickly, and Lin Daiyu squatted on the ground helplessly. It was a bit awkward for a group of people to stand alone.
Manager Chen pretended not to see her. She didn't have to pay homage to this aunt even when she entered the palace. Her Majesty favored her even more than the Seventh Princess.
"Jia Zheng of the Jia Mansion neglected to supervise his subordinates, requisitioned grains and rice, and abused the people. He should have been dismissed from his post. Gu Nian was deceived by his subordinates and was deceived by his subordinates. He was demoted to three levels. Jia En is still working as a member of the Ministry of Works. I admire this
."
Jia Mu and others were immediately overjoyed, and they quickly bowed and kowtowed three times to thank the Holy Grace.
He said a series of good words, such as being radiant and shining, having a profound understanding of righteousness, being the number one sage in the ages, and so on.
Manager Chen smiled and said nothing, but stood still.
Lin Daiyu stepped forward and gave him a banknote.
Manager Chen smiled and said: "County Master Lin, you deserve it." As he said that, the banknotes were already stuffed into his sleeves.
Only then did Jia Mu and others react and hurriedly invited them in for tea and a meal.
Manager Chen didn't have a good look towards Mother Jia and others, and said coldly: "Old lady Jia, except for Jia Yuan, people are doing it, and God is watching. I hope you will take care of yourself in the future!"
After saying that, he turned around and left directly.
Watching Manager Chen leave from a distance, Jia Mu asked Jia Zheng: "This time, King Beijing has done a lot of hard work for you.
I heard from Miss Xue that I haven't slept well for several days. In your free time, you should go to the Prince's Mansion in Beijing with a gift and say thank you."
Jia Zheng nodded heavily.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. King Beijing deserves to be known as an unparalleled benevolent and righteous man. The majestic prince could not sleep for such a trivial matter. He really had nothing to repay.
"Don't worry, mother. When I return to the Ministry of Industry to report my work, I will come to your door immediately with a heavy gift."
"Okay, okay!" Jia Mu felt relieved.
The Jia family and the Prince of Beijing have always been family friends, and this time she really saw clearly who was trustworthy and who was unreliable.
Lin Daiyu:
They didn't understand what Mr. Chen said just now.
Four months later.
The liveliness of the Jia Mansion finally subsided, and the ladies and ladies gradually forgot the panic and fear of the previous few days.
People are always forgetful.
Jia Baoyu walked angrily on the road, his pale face flushed, obviously angry.
This time when he went to Jiaofangsi to listen to music, he was enjoying himself in a private room. Then he heard people outside discussing the affairs of the Jia family.
Later, some people actually said that Jia She's coma was caused by him.
Judging from who takes advantage the most, he is liked by the old lady and he is the most likely to inherit the title. But in the end, he steals the chicken but loses the rice, which is ridiculous.
Baoyu was so angry that his ears and face were red, his eyes were watery, and he even hiccupped.
After listening in the room for a while, he finally stood up, opened the door hard, and stormed out.
The crowd fell silent, obviously everyone was frightened by his momentum.
But he was not very proud, but even more angry.
With his character, how could he do such an unconscionable thing? At that time, he even wanted to say that he didn't care about the title at all, and he wouldn't want it even if it was inherited to him in the future!
But when the words came to his mouth, he endured it. To be honest, he wanted the title of first-class general.
In this way, all the sisters in the house will be his!
So while walking on the road, he felt that those people had spied on his thoughts, and he felt angry and ashamed.
After that, I went to the Lin Mansion, but was stopped by the guards again, and refused to go in. They said that it was the order of County Master Lin and that the foreigner should not be seen.
Why? He is sister Lin's cousin, why not give him an entry? It's just a matter of strength.
After making a fuss for a while, he was kicked by the guard and came back angrily.
A gentleman speaks but does not act. He is a scholar. He has lost his status by arguing with those Qiu Ba!
When he got home, it was getting dark in half a day, and it was too late to study, so Baoyu simply wandered around the house, bored.
Unconsciously, Mr. Bao wandered over to his mother, Mrs. Wang.
It was hot at noon, and Jia Zheng liked to go to Aunt Zhao's place, so Mrs. Wang fell asleep on the couch alone, while Jin Chuan'er, who was beating her legs, was also taking a nap.
Baoyu, who had no one to play with, began to please Jin Chuan'er. He took out the Xiangxue Runjin Pill from his purse, gently opened the maid's cherry-red lips with his fingers, stuffed it in, and fed it to Jin Chuan'er.
Before the maid could wake up, Baoyu put his fingers back into his mouth and tasted the innocent girl's rouge taste.
Suck it, sweet to the heart.
Jin Chuan'er was frightened and woke up. When she saw it was Baoyu, she rolled her eyes at him.
Baoyu quickly came to hold Jin Chui'er's hand and said, "Tomorrow I will take you to my room with my mother."
Jin Chuan'er raised the corner of her mouth and said softly: "What are you busy with! 'The golden hairpin fell into the well, and it's only yours that belongs to you.' Don't you even understand this sentence?"
I'll tell you another way to have fun. You can go play with Brother Huan and Caiyun in the small east yard."
Baoyu smiled.
In people like theirs, it is a common practice for parents to reward their sons with capable maids. For example, Jia She rewarded his maid Qiutong to his son Jia Lian.
Although two innocent girls left the house, there were still many delicate flowers waiting for him to pick.
happy.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang, who was lying on the bed, suddenly turned over, slapped Jin Chuan'er on the face, pointed and cursed: "I'm a little whore, I'm a good man, but you taught me bad things."
Baoyu was shocked. Although he didn't know why his mother taught the maid a lesson, he just ran away according to his past habits.
Without hesitation, Mr. Bao ran away.
As long as I run fast, being beaten will always slow me down.
Jin Chuaner:
The setting sun sets in the west.
Lin Mansion, backyard, study room.
Xue Yan opened the door with Jin Chuan'er, and Lin Daiyu was sitting on the small couch, leaning against the window, reading quietly, with picturesque eyebrows, straight upper body, and obvious fluctuations in her chest.
The dim sunlight in the evening shines on the girl's hair, as if time has frozen, and her whole body has an indescribable softness and charm.
"Miss, Sister Jin is here."
"Ms. Lin."
The girl turned her head, and Jin Chuan'er met a pair of eyes.
calm.
This was the biggest impression she had after seeing Miss Lin. It was like a deep pool, which looked like a mirror, but she couldn't see the bottom of the pool.
A delicate and cute little yellow cat jumped to the window from nowhere, and was stunned when it saw the poop scooper.
"Meow~"
Reading under the sun is not good for your eyes. Our family is not short of money. Let’s light a lamp. At worst, I will go out to pick up rags to support you!
The little yellow cat reminded me kindly.
The corners of Lin Daiyu's eyes twitched slightly.
After a while, the girl let out a slight breath and then continued to look at Mrs. Wang's maid, Jin Chuan'er.
"Why did you come to me?"
Jin Chuan'er quickly knelt down and said, "Miss, help me!"
It turned out that because she made fun of Jia Baoyu today, Mrs. Wang beat her up and kicked her out of Jia's house.
This is not bad, after being a maid for so many years, she has also saved a lot of money for herself.
The key is that I don't know who made the news, saying that Baoyu's brother took her in his wife's room and attempted to rape her, then beat her.
How could she still be a human being? If she hadn't thought about her parents at home, she would have just thrown herself into a well and died.
As for Baoyu, he had already disappeared.
Lin Daiyu and Xiao Huangmao touched their chins at the same time and fell into deep thought.
