Jia Huan nodded in agreement, and then followed Jia Jing into Ning'an Hall. Jia Jing told Qingfeng: "Go and find Wang Fuzhong."
Qingfeng followed the order and left. Jia Huan stood respectfully and did not dare to speak. After Jia Jing sat on the main seat, she nodded to Jia Huan and said: "Sit down."
Jia Huan carefully sat next to Jia Jing, with her butt just touching the edge of the chair. The maid gave Jia Jing a cup of tea, and Jia Jing took a sip.
Then when he saw Jia Huan's appearance, he couldn't help but shook his head in a funny way and said, "You are my younger brother. When you come to my place, it is just like your own home. What is there to be cautious about?"
Jia Huan smiled, but was still very stiff. Jia Jing chatted with him and slowly relaxed.
At this time Wang Fuzhong also hurried over, and Jia Jing said to Wang Fuzhong: "Go and prepare some gifts. I will visit some respected gentlemen later."
Wang Fuzhong accepted the order, but Jia Jing stopped him again and said: "Take this boy down and get him some decent clothes."
Hearing this, Jia Huan quickly said: "No need, second brother! I can just wear this!" Jia Jing glanced at him and said, "You grew up in such an environment and have such a cautious temperament. I don't blame you."
Jia Jing looked at Jia Huan who was in a daze and explained: "When you go out, you represent the face of the Jia family. It's okay to openly admit that you are a son of a prince. Even if you are among the scholars, you can't forget it."
Origin."
Jia Huan smiled bitterly when he heard this, but the problem is, my background has not brought me any glory? Moreover, the resistance among the scholars towards the children of princes and powerful families is not ordinary.
If you think about it, you can understand it. Everything you have studied hard for so many years and worked so hard for so many years is easily available to others, and you even got it when you were born!
Who can keep a balance in their hearts? You already come from a wealthy family, but you still want to come here to take the imperial examination to occupy a position for poor children like us. Are you a human being?
They don't think that everyone can take the exam for this position, they just think that you are already very rich and wealthy, and you want to steal our opportunity.
Therefore, there is a reason why the children of the rich and powerful rarely take the imperial examination. Although most of them are because they cannot bear the hardship of studying, it is not without this factor.
Jia Huan just wore a gray and white Qingjin, in order to keep a low profile, and to highlight his identity as a scholar rather than as a descendant of the Jia family of Rongguo!
Jia Jing saw what Jia Huan meant, so she said solemnly: "Be upright! Be upright and open-minded! What happened to your status as a prince's son? You are a prince's son!"
"The most important thing in communicating with others is sincerity! Even if you conceal your identity at first, one day it will be exposed! At that time, people will think you are even more shameful!"
"Those who are willing to have friendship with you will not care about the identity of your prince's son. Those who are not willing to have friendship with you will still be able to pick on you even if you are the prince's grandson!"
"When communicating with others, the most important thing is sincerity, not anything else. Especially when facing your husband, you must tell everything you know and speak everything you want. Do you understand?"
Jia Huan bowed down to be taught, and Jia Jing sighed: "You still have a lot to learn! I don't know when I will be able to take charge of myself..."
Jia Huan said with some shame: "It's my incompetence that bothered my second brother." Jia Jing shook her head and said, "Take your time, you are still young, you have to eat one bite at a time."
Jia Huan nodded, and Jia Jing waved his hand and said, "Go down and change clothes with him." Jia Huan took the order and went out with Wang Fuzhong.
Jia Jing herself returned to the yard. As soon as she entered the door, Qingwen had two big black circles under her eyes. She looked at Jia Jing like a resentful woman and said, "Where did you sleep last night?"
Jia Jing coughed and said: "In Qinfang Pavilion, I drank too much and fell asleep on the spot." Qingwen's face was filled with disbelief, so Jia Jing said with a serious face: "I have to ask you for instructions on where to sleep."
Is it done?"
Qingwen became even more resentful. She looked at Jia Jing as if she were looking at someone who had betrayed her heart and said, "I agreed, last night..."
Jia Jing immediately interrupted: "What was promised? I don't remember! Go get a bucket of hot water for me to wash up, and then find some clean clothes and come out!"
Qingwen snorted angrily, dropped the things in her hands and turned around and went into the house to ignore Jia Jing. Jia Jing blinked when she saw this, and then looked at Xiang Ling who was eating melon blankly.
Hehehe walked forward with a smile. Little cute Xiangling was about to run away in confusion when Jia Jing held her shoulders down, took a bite on both sides of her fleshy cheeks and said, "Xiangling is good, she won't
Go ahead! Get me a bucket of hot water."
Xiang Ling was so dizzy from being kissed that she nodded stupidly and went to fetch water with a silly smile. Jia Jing looked at Xiang Ling's cheerful back and couldn't help but sigh: "It's still a silly girl who is easy to bully..."
Jia Jing quickly packed up, and Jia Huan was sent back by Wang Fuzhong. He had already changed into a luxurious but elegant and simple clothes. When he saw Jia Jing coming in, he hurriedly got up to greet him.
Jia Jing smiled and said: "No rush, let's have a meal first and tell Wang Fuzhong to get off his horse. I sent greetings to those gentlemen a long time ago."
Jia Huan nodded excitedly. Jia Jing gave Jia Huan a few words while eating. They just said, don't be nervous when you see the gentlemen, and answer whatever the gentlemen ask.
Jia Huan agreed one by one, and after Wang Fuzhong had packed up, Jia Jing and Jia Jing finished their meal and went out.
After Zijuan and Daiyu got up, they found that Jia Jing was missing. Daiyu was fine, but Zijuan took it to heart, so let's just forget about it? Didn't you ask Lord Hou to take such a huge advantage for nothing?
That can't be done! You have to give us an explanation at least! Zicuckoo waited for a while but Jia Jing didn't come, so she decided to come to her door in person!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiang Ling clearing the dining table, so he asked tentatively: "Xiang Ling, where is Mr. Hou?"
Xiangling scratched his head blankly and said, "Let's go." Zijuan was stunned for a moment: "Leave?" Xiangling nodded and said, "Yes, today the Marquis is going to take Third Master Huan to visit.
Gentlemen, I left just after dinner!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zicuckoo was stunned for a moment, then secretly gritted her teeth, hiding, right? OK! Let’s see how long you can hide!
At this time, Jia Jing was actually still a little frightened. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Daiyu taking care of her. Jia Jing immediately figured out the cause and effect, so she could only pretend to be dead.
After waking up, Jia Jing also realized the seriousness of the matter. She slept in the room of a boudoir girl all night, and now thinking about it, Jia Jing still wanted to give her two mouths...
This is the first time Jia Jing has faced such a thing, so she can only hide from Daiyu for now and see if she can make this matter less embarrassing as time goes by...
The two of them visited the husband not just to find a suitable husband for Jia Huan, but to connect Jia Huan with a network of influence in Shilin that Jia Jing could do.
At least after today, Jia Huan will no longer be a little transparent person with no roots in Shilin. When Jia Huan really needs help, he can even gather a large amount of power!
Jia Huan knew it himself, so he was very active during the visit with Jia Jing. Many gentlemen actually had the intention to accept Jia Huan, probably because of various reasons and were happy to accept Jia Huan.
But Jia Jing still refused on behalf of Jia Huan. The gentleman Jia Jing chose for Jia Huan was Mr. Chu Juncheng from Jingshan who visited him last. Mr. Chu Juncheng from Jingshan was a good friend of Jia Jing's husband Zhou Huan.
He advocated education without distinction, so there were all kinds of children in his sect, and Jia Huan was not too weird among them. Jia Jing felt that only such a gentleman was the most suitable for Jia Huan.
Otherwise, no matter how much he cares about Jia Jing's face, he will inevitably feel indebted to Jia Huan in some places or treat him differently. Only Mr. Jingshan will treat Jia Huan as an ordinary disciple.
It is estimated that only under Mr. Jingshan's seat, Jia Huan will not be so conspicuous. Jia Huan's status as a prince's son is still very conspicuous outside.
Jia Jing is not afraid that Jia Huan will be treated differently, but is afraid that some people with ulterior motives will deliberately approach Jia Huan to achieve their own goals. This situation may be improved with Mr. Jingshan.
Jia Huan's performance is good, and Mr. Jingshan is also very satisfied with Jia Huan's performance. In addition, it is Jia Jing who sent it. Even if it is to give Jia Jing a face, Mr. Jingshan will accept it as long as Jia Huan is not particularly overbearing.
of.
After everyone was happy, Mr. Jingshan chatted with Jia Jing, during which he accidentally mentioned that Zhou Huan was expected to leave Shenjing in the near future.
Jia Jing was shocked when he heard this. His recent contact with Zhou Huan was not particularly deep, so Jia Jing, Zhou Huan's disciple, had just found out about this matter.
Seeing Jia Jing being so surprised, Mr. Jingshan guessed the reason, so he smiled and said, "Maybe your husband doesn't want you to worry about knowing this too early."
Jia Jing frowned slightly and looked at Mr. Jingshan and said, "May I ask Mr. Jingshan, did my husband tell me why he left Beijing?"
Mr. Jingshan looked at Jia Jing strangely and smiled and said, "You should know this, right?" Jia Jing was stunned when he heard this, and then he probably figured it out.
Jia Jing is now the Marquis of Ning, one person below ten thousand people. As a founding father, the next step for Jia Jing must be to revitalize the founding fathers. As long as he wants to make a difference in the military, the inevitable result will be peace and harmony.
Hong Zhixun and his ministers had conflicts.
What's more, this was the purpose of Emperor Yongxi's training of Jia Jing. It took ten years to forge a sword just for today! It will definitely cause a bloody storm in the capital.
At this time, Zhou Huan was actually more of a tie for Jia Jing. At this time, Zhou Huan had basically done everything he could do for Jia Jing in Shilin, and if he continued to stay, he would not be involved with Hong Zhixunchen.
The battle with the founding fathers will also become a major weakness of Jia Jing
I'm afraid Emperor Yongxi also knew this, so he agreed to Zhou Huan's order to be transferred abroad. He wouldn't dare to use it if he stayed in Shenjing anyway, so he might as well send him directly to work below.
After Jia Jing found out about this, she became a little uneasy. Mr. Jingshan also noticed it and smiled knowingly, telling Jia Jing to go over there and deal with it if he had anything to do.
Jia Jing thanked Mr. Jingshan gratefully, and then asked Jia Huan to stay and ask for advice from Mr. Jingshan, while Jia Jing herself hurried out the door and rushed to Zhou Huan's house.
As soon as she arrived at Zhou Huan's house, she saw that the door was closed. Jia Jing couldn't help but blame herself. It had been so long since she came back and she didn't even take the time to see her mentor. The news that her mentor was leaving the capital was only known from others.
!
Jia Jing ordered Liuze to knock on the door, and the old man's voice came from inside: "Our master has not seen visitors in the past few days! Please come back!"
Jia Jing immediately stepped forward and said: "Uncle Wang! It's me!" There was a pause inside, and then he quickly opened the door. When Mr. Wang saw Jia Jing standing outside the door, he couldn't help but said excitedly: "Uncle...
....Master Hou is back?"
Jia Jing smiled and said: "I will always be Brother Jing here, not some prince." Uncle Wang smiled and nodded: "Hey! Master! I expected that you would definitely come in the next few days, and he is right inside!"
Jia Jing nodded, and then walked quickly inside. Zhou Huan was sitting in the study at the back reading a book. After Jia Jing met Qiuxiang on the road, she followed Qiuxiang directly to the study hall to find Zhou Huan.
Zhou Huan seemed to have known that Jia Jing was coming. He asked Wen An to go down and make tea. Then he said to Jia Jing, "It's been a long time since you've been back. Sit down."
Jia Jing couldn't help but feel a little sore in her nose when she heard this. Although Zhou Huan hadn't changed much, it could be seen that he was indeed a little older than two years ago.
Jia Jing knelt on the ground respectfully and saluted Zhou Huan: "Student, pay homage to Sir! I have been busy with secular affairs since I came back, and I really shouldn't have come to pay homage to Sir until today!"
Zhou Huan smiled and shook his head and said: "You have many things to do, so you don't have to stick to these me. Master and disciple, you and I are often coy and pretentious people."
Jia Jing smiled after hearing this, stood up and sat next to Zhou Huan, and said to Zhou Huan: "I heard that sir is going back to Jiangnan?"
Zhou Huan nodded with a smile and said: "I am going to Yangzhou. I have lived in the capital as a teacher for these years, but I have never done anything meaningful. In addition to teaching you as a disciple, and writing a few books, I have done almost nothing."
I haven’t done anything big, so it’s inevitable that I feel like my time is wasted.”
Jia Jing nodded. With Zhou Huan's talent, staying in Shenjing to be a tutor is indeed a big talent but a small use. Emperor Yongxi doesn't dare to use Zhou Huan now, so Zhou Huan's stay in Shenjing is not only about his reputation, but also his reputation.
Nothing is gained.
But Zhou Huan was obviously not a person who coveted fame, so Zhou Huan decided to leave Shenjing City and go outside to do some practical things for the people of the world.
Jia Jing also knew that Zhou Huan was definitely going to leave, so she didn't say anything to persuade him to stay. There was no need for such frivolous play between him and Zhou Huan. Jia Jing actually felt that it was a good choice for Zhou Huan to leave Shenjing at this time.
Jia Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Why would you, sir, think of going to Yangzhou?" Zhou Huan smiled and said, "I heard that most of the talented people from the south of the Yangtze River live in Yangzhou and most of them live in Jinling, so I plan to go and see if I can do it in this place where the world's civilization gathers. Made some achievements.”
Zhou Huan sighed and said: "Your Majesty has issued a decree. Soon I will leave Shenjing and go to Jinling to serve as the Minister of Rites, one of the six departments, and also as the Imperial Academy of Jinling. Although I am in Jinling, I actually work in Yangzhou, so these days I’ll be preparing to leave for Yangzhou in the next day.”
Jia Jing hurriedly said: "The disciples will prepare the ships at that time, and I will send personal soldiers to escort you and personally send you to take office." Zhou Huan quickly waved his hand and said, "If people know about it, they will think I am staged!"
Zhou Huan said with a smile: "Our masters and disciples never talk about this. Besides, your ship is too luxurious and I am not used to it. You yourself are a new official and will take up the post of Left Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion in a few days." This is an important position in charge of the world's military affairs. Isn't it foolish for you to abandon public service for personal reasons at such a young age?"
Hearing this, Jia Jing had no choice but to nod his head and said: "Then no matter what, sir, you must let my personal soldiers escort you, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well! No matter what, let me do my best."
Zhou Huan sighed and said: "Okay! It's just that you can only send me to the dock. You don't have to send me far away. It's not a matter of life and death. Master and apprentice, you and I will definitely see each other again in the future."
Jia Jing nodded in agreement. At this time, Mrs. Zhou also heard that Jia Jing was back, so she hurried over and almost shed tears when she saw Jia Jing.
He quickly stepped forward, held Jia Jing's face with both hands, and said, "My Jing'er! Why have you become so thin? She's so dark and thin! It makes people feel sad just to look at her!"
Jia Jing smiled and said, "Just rest for a while! Don't feel too bad, Mrs. Zhou." Mrs. Zhou slapped Jia Jing on the shoulder and said, "What a good face, but it looks like a black monkey." Yes! What should I do?"
Jia Jing laughed twice, and Zhou Huan said a little jealously: "Humph! This is what men should be like, so what's more to be fair and clean? Don't..."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou glared at Zhou Huan fiercely and said, "Shut up! Why are you interrupting when I'm talking to Jing'er?"
Zhou Huan looked aside helplessly. Jia Jing talked to Mrs. Zhou funny for a while. It was nothing more than thinking about no one there but his wife. Really! Don’t believe it!
Mrs. Zhou was so coaxed that her branches trembled with laughter, and Jia Jing stayed for a meal. Jia Jing knew that she, her husband and his wife would probably be together again in a few days, so she cherished her and stayed for a meal.
Jia Jing said to Zhou Huan: "My uncle Lin, the censor of salt inspection in Huaihe River, is like a sea. Mr. Lin is also in Yangzhou. My husband and he are still old acquaintances. When I go back, I will ask my sister to write a letter from home. I will bring another letter from home. If sir encounters any difficulties at that time, you may be able to ask him for help."
Zhou Huan said angrily: "Do you still need to teach me how to do things as a teacher?" Even without Jia Jing's handwriting, Zhou Huan was actually a guest wherever he went. Even Lin Ruhai, who was in charge of the salt administration of the two rivers and Huaihe Rivers, did not Dare to be disrespectful to Zhou Huan.
What's more, the two were old acquaintances when they were young. When Zhou Huan went to Yangzhou this time, Lin Ruhai had no reason not to welcome him.
That's what Jia Jing said, to remind Zhou Huan, and to bring a little letter from home to Daiyu, otherwise Lin Ruhai might not read the letter from home that would be sent back easily...
Mrs. Zhou slapped Zhou Huan angrily and said, "Jing'er cares about us, what's your attitude?"
