Jia Rong didn't have a high opinion of Jia Zhu, whom Rongfu regarded as the hope for his rise.
It's a very simple truth. If he can't even control himself when it comes to women, how much can he be expected to achieve?
But it’s just protected by Rongfu and packaged too well.
In addition, he did have some talent in reading, so everyone in the Rong family looked at him and looked forward to him a little more.
Although men of the Jia family also have the common problem of lust, Jia Zhu's performance is not so obvious. With Lian Er as a negative example, he naturally shines everywhere.
But this time, all his cover-ups were torn away.
I was about to take part in the Spring Examination, and I was so leisurely and leisurely that my red sleeves were fragrant, but in the end my body was hollowed out.
Even the servants in the mansion knew that such a thing should not be done.
But Jia Zhu just did it, and he still had a normal expression, which made people doubt his nature.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the Rong Mansion held a banquet to invite people from the capital. Jia Rong met Jia Zhu again outside the second gate of the Rong Mansion, who looked much better.
Just seeing the calm look on this guy's face, Jia Rong felt slightly unhappy.
Mr. Zheng Er is quite polite. He has basically heard about Jia Rong's performance these days.
I never expected that Jia Rong would be recognized by a group of distinguished officials.
What else is there to say? You should be polite when you meet someone.
As for Jia Zhu, she is still proud in her heart.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to be teased by Jia Rong, he didn't pay much attention to it.
He was confident that he could become an official through the imperial examination. Naturally, he didn't have much thought about Jia Rong, the patriarch. He always believed that the imperial examination was the right way.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group arrived at the bustling Rongqing Hall.
Really lively!
Most of the adult women who are prominent in the clan have come here.
Except for Mrs. Zhao, who didn't show much performance, which other female in the clan didn't say a lot of nice things to please her?
Jia Mu likes this kind of excitement!
The already wealthy face almost burst into joy.
It wasn't until the maid reported that the second master Zheng, Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were visiting, did the female family members of the clan realize their interest and leave.
Mrs. Zhao was so present that she had no intention of moving at all.
Seeing this, Jia Mu felt a little unhappy.
Knowing that Mrs. Zhao was supporting Jia Rong, she had nothing to do. She couldn't just open her mouth and drive people away, right?
After a group of gentlemen came in to greet her, she immediately asked with a serious look on her face: "Brother Rong, do you still take this old lady seriously?"
The originally festive atmosphere in the room suddenly disappeared.
Mr. Zheng Er, who came with him, was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that my mother would get angry so suddenly and didn't even give him a chance to sit down.
"The old lady is serious!"
Jia Rong smiled softly, found a chair and sat down first, ignoring other people's eyes, and said leisurely: "The old lady is the Dinghai Shenzhen of Rong Mansion. Even if I have a higher eye than the top, I can't help but take the old lady seriously."
Here!"
Mother Jia did not accept this trick and continued to ask: "Why didn't you inform us in advance about the ancestral hall meeting on New Year's Eve?"
"What do you know?"
Jia Rong was a little confused and said curiously: "It's just planning some important things for this year. Whether it can be done or not is a matter of time. There is no point in saying it in advance!"
Jia Mu was paused when she heard this. Thinking about it, it really made sense.
At this time, Jia Rong turned around and asked, "By the way, I've been eating everywhere these days. I wonder if the matter with Uncle Zheng has been settled?"
At this moment, Mrs. Wang, who was sitting beside her like a Bodhisattva, could not sit still.
Her face darkened, and she said dissatisfiedly: "The matter is too urgent. Brother Rong didn't warn me in advance, so he came to talk to us rashly. How can it be so easy?"
"No way, could it be possible that I was right?"
Jia Rong was surprised and said: "So, we can't go the way of Honglu Temple!"
"Then we can only use our strength towards Taichang Temple and General Affairs Office!"
"If the old lady has connections in this area, don't be stingy!"
Speaking of this, Jia Rong smiled at the old lady and said: "It's best to get it done before the Lantern Festival, otherwise you have to wait for vacancies to find opportunities in the future!"
Every time between the closing of the pen and the beginning of the new year, a group of officials in the court will be transferred. At this time, if the affairs of the second master of politics are settled, they will not be so conspicuous.
After hearing this, Mr. Zheng Er felt very embarrassed, but he still subconsciously looked at the old lady who was looking up, with hope in his eyes.
"In this case, the old lady will have to stir up the old relationship!"
Jia's mother did not expect Jia Rong to be so decisive. When she saw that Wang Ziteng's way was dead, she immediately changed direction and changed her target.
The words that I was originally planning to sneer at were suppressed in my stomach.
It was related to the future of the second master Zheng, and Jia Mu did not dare to neglect it.
Just as Jia Rong said at the ancestral hall meeting on New Year's Eve, they are all sinecures. Why can't the second master of the government sit when others sit?
In the past, everyone in the Rong Mansion focused on positions above the third level and did not think about other aspects at all.
Now, since he has been awakened by Jia Rong, he will not give up easily.
But it's just a casual job of the fifth rank. With the old lady Jia Mu's high-end network, it can be solved quite easily.
But this made Mrs. Wang very embarrassed.
How confident I was before, I feel so embarrassed now.
The only thing is that she has become accustomed to having a Bodhisattva face, and outsiders can't see any change in her expression, otherwise it would look good.
"I heard that Brother Qiang will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs as an errand as soon as the Lantern Festival is over?"
No one cared whether Mrs. Wang was embarrassed or not. At this time, Jia Mu asked: "Is it done so quickly?"
"Old lady, as long as Prime Minister Dai can give you enough money and it's not too eye-catching, Brother Qiang's matter can be easily solved!"
"If it weren't for the fact that Prime Minister Dai couldn't intervene in the affairs of the Six Ministries, just because of his cheerfulness, maybe Uncle Lian's matter would be solved by now!"
Having said this, he looked at Jia Zhu and asked: "By the way, Uncle Zhu, when I was at the ancestral hall, I asked you to help deliver a message to Li Jijiu. I don't know..."
Jia Zhu's face turned red all of a sudden, and she stammered: "When I came back not long ago, I asked for help, and Taishan said it was not a big problem!"
He felt that such a thing was quite shameful, and would not be willing to participate in it unless he had to. He always felt that it was not good to do so.
But I don’t know why my father-in-law agreed so readily.
Although I was confused, it was hard to find anyone to ask, and I felt really not very happy.
Mother Jia and Mr. Zheng looked calm, thinking that such a thing was normal, and naturally they would not say anything more.
Mrs. Wang was a little awkward. She didn't expect that the poor Li family in her eyes could actually have some ability. She even asked Brother Zhu to help her pass the message. It was so damn...
