Due to Jia Jing's deliberate delay, by the time Daiyu and Jia Jing arrived at Lixiangyuan, Chen Xing and others had already left. Only Lin Ruhai was still sitting there, pondering and drinking tea.
Daiyu rolled her eyes at Jia Jing, took the initiative to hug Lin Ruhai's arm and said coquettishly: "What are you thinking, daddy?"
Lin Ruhai came back to her senses and glanced down at Daiyu. Just as she was about to answer with a smile, she subconsciously looked up and saw it was Jia Jing. Then she smiled and said, "Jing'er is back?"
Jia Jing nodded and stepped forward to greet him. Lin Ruhai called him up and then sat down. Jia Jing smiled and said to Lin Ruhai: "Mr. Chen was here just now?"
Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Daiyu's slightly red ears and shook her head. Daiyu pretended not to understand and listened to Jia Jing's words.
Lin Ruhai smiled at Jia Jing and said, "Yes, let's get to know each other." Jia Jing smiled and said, "Are you here to get to know each other on behalf of the New Party?"
Lin Ruhai smiled and shook his head and said: "I can understand. After all, my return is a very sensitive matter for the already complicated court."
Jia Jing smiled and nodded: "Then I guess the old party must have contacted my uncle very early?" Uncle Lin sighed and said: "I didn't expect that Jia Yucun would be such a person."
Jia Jing smiled and nodded, knowing something in her heart. When Daiyu heard this, she stood up emotionally and said, "That's right! If dad didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten about him!"
As he spoke, Daiyu began to accuse Jia Yucun of various crimes, looking very indignant, but when he finished speaking, he saw that neither Jia Jing nor Lin Ruhai seemed to care much.
Daiyu looked at Jia Jing with some doubts. Jia Jing just smiled at Daiyu, and then said to Lin Ruhai: "I just discovered the problem of this person in Jia Yucun before, but I guess from my uncle's perspective, he should be
You can see this person's ambition at a glance."
Lin Ruhai sighed: "Things in the world are unpredictable. Who could have expected that the upright and strong young man at the time would become what he is today. But fortunately, it has not led to a big mistake."
Jia Jing smiled and said: "He has no chance. Just leave his matter to me, uncle. I guarantee that we will not get involved."
Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded, and then smiled and asked what Daiyu was doing. Daiyu smiled and said: "The old lady asked us to come, firstly to let him come to see you, and secondly to invite you.
We agreed to take a walk in the garden, didn’t we?”
Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded. Jia Jing stood up and said with a smile: "My uncle is busy with many things every day. I guess if he doesn't take a good rest during this period, he will start to get busy after a while."
Lin Ruhai sighed: "I just can't stay idle. I've just lived in this Lixiangyuan for a while, and I'm already starting to feel a little uncomfortable. I guess I was born to work hard."
Jia Jing smiled and said: "I have just finished something, and I feel a little empty. During this time, you will take good care of your health. I asked them to follow you around Shenjing to see that you have been away from Beijing for so long.
, have there been any changes?"
Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded. Daiyu hugged Lin Ruhai's arm and said with a smile, "I'll be with daddy. Daddy will tell me about your youth."
Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded, reaching out to stroke Daiyu's little head, quite like a fatherly figure. Daiyu hid in Lin Ruhai's arms, glancing at Jia Jing from time to time, and after seeing Jia Jing looking at her, she
She snorted arrogantly and turned her head away. When Jia Jing stopped looking at her, she turned back to look at Jia Jing quietly.
This was the first time she had seen Jia Jing deal with business, so she was inevitably a little fascinated. It would take some time for the old lady and the others to hold a banquet in the Grand View Garden, so Jia Jing first chatted with Lin Ruhai about the old and new parties.
Lin Ruhai originally didn't want to talk about this in front of Daiyu, but Jia Jing took the initiative to mention it in front of Daiyu, and Lin Ruhai understood Jia Jing's good intentions.
In addition, Lin Ruhai has just arrived in Beijing, and his understanding of the court is definitely not as thorough as Jia Jing's, so Lin Ruhai really needs Jia Jing to provide him with his opinion!
So the two of them couldn't help chatting more and more for a while, but they forgot that Daiyu was still around. Daiyu didn't bother them either. She just hid in Lin Ruhai's arms and looked at Lin Ruhai and then Jia Jing, her face slowly filled with joy.
a happy expression………
Her heart, which had been shaken since childhood, had only relaxed slightly in recent days because of Lin Ruhai's safety. At this time, the feeling of seeing the two most important men in her life together made her feel a little strange...
very nice!
The changes in the court situation cannot be explained clearly in a few words. In addition, Jia Jing herself does not dare to get involved too deeply in the struggle between the civil servants, so at most she can give Lin Ruhai a reference.
But it was enough for Lin Ruhai. He himself did not expect Jia Jing to help him take the position. Lin Ruhai tugged at his beard and sighed: "Looking at this, Your Majesty seems to want me to take care of the household affairs first...
…”
Jia Jing nodded and smiled: "I guess that's what I mean, otherwise Tan Jing wouldn't come to you in such a hurry."
Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "He was in a hurry to throw away his hand. If Mr. Chen hadn't been pulling him by the side, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold it back."
Jia Jing smiled and said: "It's not that I'm in a hurry to throw away my hands. Tan Jing is capable, but he's definitely not good enough to be in charge of one department, especially the most important household department among the six. During this period, he can say
He's walking on thin ice! Now that he has seen you, the God of Wealth, can he not be in a hurry to get rid of you?"
Lin Ruhai laughed when he heard this, and then sighed: "In my opinion, this Minister of Household Affairs is not that easy to do..."
Jia Jing smiled and said: "In short, it is much better than the 'good job' of Lianghuai Salt Administration." Lin Ruhai was startled, then nodded with a smile: "That's true."
Jia Jing smiled and said to Lin Ruhai: "Besides, if my uncle takes this position, both the new and old parties will have to look at your scheming face to do things. When the time comes, you can directly escape from the whirlpool of the party and government. I guess
His Majesty must have been a little scared by the matter of Mr. Zhang Gong and Mr. Zhang, so he chose you, who has a good relationship with both the New Party and the Old Party, to serve as the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, acting as a mediator in the middle. With His Majesty's support,
You can just sit back and relax!"
Lin Ruhai sighed: "Why is Tiger Balm so easy to sell? You want to please both sides, but if you are not careful, you may cause resentment on both sides!"
Jia Jing smiled and said: "You can fight your way out of Yangzhou City, which is surrounded by dangers and dangers. Are you still afraid of the old and new parties?"
Lin Ruhai was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said: "I'm not afraid, it's just..."
Lin Ruhai's shining eyes stared deeply at Jia Jing and said: "The struggle between the parties brings disaster to the country and the people!" Jia Jing fell silent after hearing this.
Emperor Yongxi may not have noticed that there is something wrong with the signs of party struggle, but at this time, Emperor Yongxi can only forcefully push things in an unknown direction!
The New Deal is not stopping at all, and the party struggle will only intensify! Especially in recent years, the New Deal has almost covered the entire country. At this time, even the two hardest bones in Jiangnan, the Jinling Zhen family and the Yangzhou salt merchants, were easily crushed by Jia Jing
Under the circumstances, the New Deal has become popular in Jiangnan. This is already a problem within the past few months!
The fall of Jiangnan was a great event worthy of celebration for the new party, but for the old party, it was equivalent to the grief and indignation that their hometown was stolen!
Jiangnan, a place with complicated forces, has always been the stronghold of the New Party. Many of the New Party's giants are from the South. There is no way. The personality of the Southerners must be that they hate the kind of grandiosity and advocate that governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food.
Therefore, having this kind of personality is naturally reflected in political opinions. In addition to this, Jiangnan has always been the most stable and peaceful place, so the solidified classes there are naturally more averse to change.
Until now, almost everyone hates change.
At this time, Jia Jing used his iron horse Qiufeng to knock on the door of Jiangnan, which meant that the entire Jiangnan was stripped naked and laid in front of the court!
As the current mainstream force in the imperial court, the New Party has no reason not to covet Jiangnan! The prosperous land of Jiangnan is definitely the top priority of reform!
But now, this top priority has opened the door to them almost undefended, and almost the entire Jiangnan has been infiltrated by their new party's reform officials!
Under such circumstances, will the new party still discuss with the old party? It is conceivable that the storm that Jia Jing set off in Jiangnan is at most a storm that is about to blow the entire building!
What the New Party is about to unleash in Jiangnan next is a bloody storm!
How can the old party, which regards Jiangnan as its own bottom line, endure this? Yang Jisheng has repeatedly made concessions in recent years, but now there is no way to retreat!
The rabbit bites people when it gets angry, not to mention the old party that has been fighting against the new party for so many years? So what Lin Ruhai is about to face is actually an extremely dangerous and exciting battlefield without blood!
But what Lin Ruhai was most worried about at this time was not his own safety, but how the party's struggle would end at this point!
Jia Jing was indeed speechless when he heard this. As a college student who studied history in his previous life, he had a profound analysis of these. If the disaster caused by party strife cannot be nipped in the bud, then I am afraid it will continue to take root and influence
The rise and fall of an entire dynasty!
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are naturally factions!
Since ancient times, party struggles have had a purpose. For example, the Niu-Li party struggle in the Tang Dynasty fought for the vassal system and the imperial examination system. Another example is the party struggle in the Song Dynasty, which fought for conservatism and reform. They all had a purpose.
But in the Ming Dynasty, this style of painting began to change...Party fighting is not about political opinions, but fighting for the sake of fighting!
As long as the enemy agrees, I will oppose it; as long as the enemy opposes it, I will definitely agree!
In the Nanming Dynasty, this style of painting became even weirder. When other dynasties reached this time, they all said: "Fuck! It's already reached this time, and there is still internal fighting? You have to do whatever I want!"
And Nan Ming said: "Fuck! It's already reached this point, and we still want to fight among ourselves? If you don't listen to me, you'll have to play it out!"
The reason why the Ming Dynasty is the most studied is because the reason for its demise is worthy of everyone's blushing and thick necks...
Some say that Mingshi died due to internal fighting, some say that he died from the Donglin Party, some say that he died from the climate, some say that he died from the plague, some say that he died from the clan, and some say that he died from the clan.
Due to the peasant uprising, some said that they were killed by foreign enemies...
These things, taken alone, are enough to destroy a dynasty several times, and the Ming Dynasty has caught up... Then can the Ming Dynasty survive...
At least in Jia Jing's opinion, the current Dayan cannot withstand generations of party struggles! If it fights such a protracted party struggle like the Ming Dynasty, Dayan will be doomed sooner or later!
These feelings of Jia Jing were based on the summary and learning of later generations, while people like Lin Ruhai and Emperor Yongxi relied entirely on their superb political literacy to infer!
So in fact, it may not be that people at the top cannot guess these trends, but many times they are just as powerless as Lin Ruhai now...
The old party must want to have a conflict with the new party? The new party must want to kill the old party? From the bottom level, it is definitely true, but for Yang Jisheng Shangguanyi's level, they definitely don't want to!
But both of them are being pushed by the general trend, and no one can control the situation! Who can guess what Emperor Yongxi is thinking, who is truly capable of taking the lead?
Jia Jing could tell that Lin Ruhai was worried about this matter, but even Jia Jing herself didn't have an accurate idea of how to resolve the party struggle, not to mention that Jia Jing herself was now being dragged into this kind of struggle.
Members, so talking about control is really ridiculous.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jia Jing comforted Lin Ruhai with a few words. At this time, the old lady also sent someone to tell the story. Jia Jing and Lin Ruhai smiled and got up and walked towards the Grand View Garden.
Jia Jing came back and said it was a big thing but it was a small thing, so the men of the Jia family were actually not here, especially Jia Lian and the others who were busy. Jia Lian had just had a quarrel with Wang Xifeng, and he hadn't dealt with the situation on the dock these days.
Things, so I was also dealing with things at the dock today and haven't returned yet.
But accompanying Lin Ruhai on a garden tour is a big deal. After all, Lin Ruhai is a distinguished guest, and the men of the Jia family had no choice but to accompany her. So when Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing arrived at Rongqing Hall, the men of the Jia family were all heading this way.
rush.
Jia Jing and Dai Yu Lin Ruhai came in and said hello to Jia Mu. Jia Mu called the two of them with a smile and asked about Jia Jing's performance in Yangzhou.
Lin Ruhai glanced at Jia Jing, smiled and said that she thanked Jia Jing for her help. The atmosphere was very harmonious for a while, and Daiyu on the side was obviously also very happy and satisfied.
Tanchun saw that the corner of Daiyu's mouth was almost grinning behind her ears. He couldn't help but smiled and poked Yingchun softly and said: "Second sister, look at Sister Lin, it seems that the husband and the son-in-law are harmonious, and the husband and wife follow each other!"
As he said this, he also snickered. Yingchun was stunned for a moment, then smiled blankly and nodded, looking very silly.
When Xiangyun heard this, he curled his lips and said: "Three girls, just talk nonsense. This means that Sister Bao is not here. Otherwise, if she listens, you will have many good things!"
Tanchun chuckled, tapped Xiangyun's little nose and said, "I know you are a loyal disciple of Sister Bao. You guys, good things are coming soon! Why don't you tell others?"
Xiangyun and Yingchun's faces were red and speechless after what they said...
Jia Zheng and Jia She were close to each other and they were both at home, so they were not in a hurry. They just ordered people to wait until everyone came before calling. Unfortunately, they didn't leave Lin Ruhai in the pile of female papers, so Jia Zheng came in advance.
The ladies were naturally in the back, and Jia Zheng invited Lin Ruhai, Jia Jing, and Jia Lan, Jia Huan, and Jia Baoyu to talk in front.
Jia Jing seemed to be a little sleepy, so she lay half-lying and listened to the chat between Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai. He had a title and a noble status, but Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng didn't take it seriously, which made Jia Baoyu, who was walking on thin ice and trembling with fear, envious!
Jia Jing yawned. Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng were simply not on the same plane, so the chat between the two of them was of no value. It just felt like Lin Ruhai was coaxing Jia Zheng to play, chatting about things that happened when old Rong Guo was here.
While chatting, they came to Jia Yucun again.
The Jia sisters have not yet accused Jia Yucun, but Jia Zheng has heard some rumors, so he started talking about it to find out whether it was true or not.
】
Lin Ruhai apologized to Jia Zheng a little guiltily, admitting that he had made a mistake and had harmed the Jia family. Jia Zheng didn't care, but it was a pity that the political resources were thrown at Jia Yucun. After all, it seems that the Jia family
It is considered a break with Jia Yucun...
Before, Jia Zheng was still thinking of easing the relationship between Jia Yucun and Jia Jing, but now that Lin Ruhai doesn't think highly of Jia Yucun, Jia Zheng gave up his thoughts.
"Oh, it's a pity. Yucun and Jia Hua are quite talented..."
Jia Zheng couldn't help sighing and shaking his head. Lin Ruhai smiled and said nothing. It is a good thing to have good character and talent. Being talented but not having character will sooner or later become a disaster!
When the women in the back heard that the matter was being discussed in front of them, they were all filled with indignation. Jia Mu and others asked the Jia sisters in confusion, "Jia sisters, you and I will finish the matter with each word."
He said it plainly.
When Jia Mu heard this, she just smiled indifferently. She didn't judge Jia Yucun too much, but it was a bit funny that these girls did such a thing quietly!
Naturally, Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai heard the indignant voices of the female examiners behind them, and became slightly silent. When the female examiners finished speaking, Jia Zheng looked at Jia Jing strangely and said, "Jing'er already knew about this?"
Jia Jing came back to her senses, wiped the yawning tears from the corners of her eyes and said: "Oh, because of Xiang Ling, I did hear some rumors about this matter, so I asked someone to investigate, and we just found out
Knowing that there was such an affair, I originally asked someone to secretly check on Xiangling's mother, but I was busy and forgot about it."
When Jia Zheng heard this, he said with a smile: "It's a wonderful thing in the world. Who would have thought that planting flowers with intention will not survive, but planting willows with willows will make shade?"
Lin Ruhai took a deep look at Jia Jing, wondering whether it was "unintentional" or not... Jia Jing laughed twice, coughed and said nothing.
Jia Zheng then said hesitantly: "Well, it's just that they are here now. How are Jing'er prepared?"
As soon as these words came out, the women behind them all pricked up their ears. Jia Jing blinked strangely and said, "What?"
Jia Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "So the girl in your room is from a pretty good family, and people are now coming to her door..."
Jia Jing glanced at Lin Ruhai and found that Lin Ruhai still had a smiling expression. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly in her heart. Jia Zheng didn't know the timing, but Jia Jing still curled her lips and said, "You can't ask me to let him go even if he eats everything and wipes it clean."
stop?"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird. The Jia sisters looked at Daiyu's half-smiling expression and poked me and I poked you. Seeing the weird smiles of Wang Xifeng and others, Jia's mother couldn't help shaking her head and laughing: "This Jing'er
He said everything in front of his uncle!"
Lin Ruhai didn't think it was anything, just shook his head and chuckled. Jia Zheng then realized that it was a bit inappropriate to talk about this issue, coughed dryly, smiled awkwardly and said: "That being said, it's better to handle it properly.
"
Jia Jing blinked and looked at Jia Zheng: "That's right. Let's deal with it now, so as not to have long nights and dreams."
Jia Zheng opened his mouth and stopped mentioning it. Jia Jing took the initiative to handle matters in his room in front of everyone!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mother Jia couldn't help but stop her and said: "You can go back and deal with it behind closed doors! Your uncle is a distinguished guest, why do you want him to see this?"
Jia Jing looked at Lin Ruhai, who smiled and said nothing. Jia Jing just grinned and said, "Uncle has experience, please give me some advice."
Now even Lin Ruhai's smile couldn't be maintained...
You little bastard, what do you mean I have experience? You are just talking nonsense in front of my mother-in-law...
Lin Ruhai smiled and looked deeply at Jia Jing. Jia's mother originally wanted to scold Jia Jing seriously for talking nonsense, but in the end she couldn't hold back her laughter. Everyone started laughing at this commotion.
Daiyu smiled with a red face, "This bad guy, I and my father want to see how you deal with women's affairs. If you don't want to, just don't want to. What are you doing by dragging his father in?"
This bad guy!
Jia Jing smiled ruthlessly and said to the front: "Whoever goes to my room, please ask Mrs. Zhen to come in and talk!" When everyone saw that Jia Jing was serious, they tried to persuade Jia Jing. After all, it was Jia Jing's room matter.
, they are quite embarrassed to hear it here.
Jia Jing rolled up her sleeves with a smile and said, "What are you afraid of? It's not a big deal. Why are you so embarrassed than me?"
After everyone heard this, they stopped trying to persuade her and just watched Jia Jing handle the household affairs. After a while, Mrs. Zhen and Xiang Ling walked in, supporting each other.
Xiangling's heart wandered, and when she raised her head and saw Jia Jing, she couldn't help but want to hold Jia Jing and cry, but there were strangers around so Xiangling didn't dare to act rashly.
Unexpectedly, Jia Jing looked at Xiang Ling for a while, and said with a gentle smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few days, and she has lost weight. It seems that Qingwen has not taken good care of her. Don't cry. I will take good care of her when I get back!"
