Jia Rong has gone through many lives, what kind of flattery has he not heard?
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was sitting in the main hall of Ning'an Hall, receiving New Year's greetings from his clan members one after another.
Seeing the sincerity and even fawning looks on their faces, he just felt funny.
It's all for a better survival, there's no need to worry about it.
I gave them a lot of red envelopes and talked nonsense about hoping they would perform well this year. The day passed like this.
In the evening, he did not eat at the mansion. He took Jia Qiang, who was very worried, directly to a Sanjin mansion not far from the palace.
After getting off the carriage, looking at the word "Dai" hanging above the gate, the corner of my mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Can the powerful eunuchs of the Qian Dynasty buy mansions openly and openly?
That's right, this is the mansion of Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace, outside the palace. It's quite grand.
I got in touch with Dai Quan early and agreed on a time for a visit.
At the door of Dai's mansion, a handsome little eunuch immediately came over and led them in.
Judging from his calm expression, it was obvious that there must be a lot of visitors coming to his door.
Jia Rong quietly stuffed a small purse with eight taels of silver in it, just to keep it in order so that the little eunuch who was leading the way would not mess around with it.
Sure enough, after receiving some money, the attitude of the little eunuch who led the way improved a lot, and he even took the initiative to talk about Dai Quan's mood and state at this time.
Once I met the real owner, Dai Quan, things became less troublesome.
In the memory of the original owner, the cheap old man Jia Zhen brought him here several times.
Although I don't know Jia Zhen's thoughts clearly, she is still a familiar face.
Explain the request clearly, and then directly take out 8,000 taels of silver notes. This is the labor fee. There will be another amount after the work is completed. In short, the price is extremely high.
"Brother Qiang wants to enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's a very simple matter!"
Dai Quan calmly accepted the banknote and said with a smile: "After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, brother Qiang will come directly here and I will make arrangements!"
He can naturally arrange it for a minor official position in the ninth rank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As for how Jia Qiang is doing in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and whether he needs to continue to help her, that will have to be calculated separately.
"Thank you so much, Prime Minister!"
Before Dai Quan could serve tea to see the guests off, Jia Rong took the initiative to stand up and leave.
If things go smoothly, I have to say that sometimes, certain relationships and connections are really important.
The Great Qian Dynasty inherited the legal system of the Ming Dynasty, and was naturally very wary of the eunuchs who led the Ming Dynasty into the abyss of destruction.
The eunuchs of the Great Qian Dynasty did not have the so-called right to criticize people.
But even so, any of the great eunuchs in the palace who dares not to shout "internal minister" after leaving the palace is asking for death.
The two brothers quickly returned to Ning Mansion. Mrs. Zhao was very surprised and directly asked how things were going and whether there was any business trip.
"all the best!"
It happened to be dinner time. Jia Rong greeted Jia Qiang to sit down and said with a smile: "It's very refreshing to get the banknote. I want Brother Qiang to go over and be an errand on the 16th day of the first lunar month!"
"In the future, if you can have as little contact with these great eunuchs in the palace, you should try to have as little contact as possible!"
Mrs. Zhao sighed: "Their reputation is really bad!"
Haha, but these eunuchs have taken advantage of it and still do their jobs.
Unlike some officials who have no ability to make money but are good at making money, they regard their promises as fart and don't take them seriously at all.
On the contrary, he is the chief eunuch in the palace, and he will basically fulfill all his promises.
Even if it is not possible at the moment, he will take the initiative to explain the reasons clearly.
The second, third and fourth days of the lunar month are the peak periods for returning to your parents’ home.
Jia Rong didn't have a family to go to. She saw that friends from the dandy circle came to invite her to dinner, and all of them were very enthusiastic.
But he couldn't help it and directly pulled Lian Er to help ward off the wine.
Anyway, these dudes all value the polo match, so it would be better to let Lian Er negotiate.
Lian Er was quite excited and took the opportunity to stay away from the circle of right and wrong in Rong Mansion.
Ahem, Mrs. Wang failed to negotiate when she returned to her parents’ home on the second day of the new year.
In other words, Wang Ziteng did not agree to help Mr. Zheng enter Honglu Temple as an official, let alone advance to a higher level.
After coming back, Mrs. Wang was hesitant and uncertain. I heard that the old lady and Mr. Zheng both looked very ugly.
Dafang didn't join in the fun, but Wang Xifeng insisted on showing off.
Then, Wang Xifeng failed to get an accurate letter from her mother's family.
Regarding the possibility of Lian Er entering the household department for training, Wang Ziteng neither opposed nor supported it. Anyway, his attitude was relatively cold.
After Wang Xifeng returned home, she expressed considerable dissatisfaction when communicating privately with Lian Er.
Lian Er finally saw clearly that the power of his clan was more reliable in his own affairs.
No matter what your mood is, it’s hard to put on a bad face during the Chinese New Year.
In short, from the second day to the eighth day of the lunar month, there was a banquet almost every day, and sometimes there were feasts several times a day.
It was at this time that the founding noble group could move around each other unscrupulously and communicate openly and openly.
In the past, Lian Er was not able to attend many of the first month banquets in the distinguished circle.
But this time, Jia Rong took him, and the reluctant Jia Zhu, and went to most of the banquet together. It was all about eating and drinking anyway.
In this process, he represented the Ningrong and Jia clans in the capital and conveyed the decisions made at the ancestral hall meeting to the ears of other nobles.
Don't ask them to help, at least don't hold back at critical moments.
Unexpectedly, Ning Rong's second house began to spread rumors in the honorable circle, which attracted the attention of several distinguished bosses.
When Jia Rong attended the first month banquet, almost all the family members of the Eighth Founding Duke showed up and called him over to talk.
In the past, such a situation would never have occurred.
When you followed the cheap old man Jia Zhen to attend the first month banquet, where had you ever enjoyed such grand treatment?
Obviously, the influence of Ning Rong's second house in the noble circle is really not a joke.
Previously, Ning Rong's second house was in a state of decline, and the head of the family had no concrete measures to revive the family. Naturally, the other core leaders of the noble family looked down upon it.
At present, the Ning Rong Mansion is showing great signs of working hard. No matter how you express it verbally at this juncture, it can be regarded as a disguised form of attention and support.
Not to mention anything else, at least after the first month banquet of the honorable circle is over, when Ning Rong and the second mansion are running for office, both the officials and the chief officials of Dachang Temple will pay more attention to it.
Jia Rong, who has experienced several worlds, is naturally very clear about these sects, and he can easily maximize the effect of the tiger skin of the Xungui Group.
In fact, Jia Rong himself did not expect that things would go so smoothly.
Although there are no concrete actions yet, the momentum has already begun...
