Since that day when Jia She rejected the request of the clan elders and refused to grant Jia Lian the title, some opinions gradually emerged in the two mansions.
The second master Lian was not liked by the eldest master. The son that the eldest master liked was actually the third master Cong. The eldest master wanted to pass the title to the third master Cong, so he refused to grant the title to the second master Lian.
There is another theory that Jia She actually wanted to imitate the old Duke of the country and let the second master Lian live there after passing the title to the second master Lian, while leaving the property in the east cross courtyard to the third master Cong.
, let Mr. Cong inherit...
There is also a shocking saying that the second master Lian is not really filial. The appearance of filial piety he puts on is all fake. Others can't see it, but the eldest master can see it, so he doesn't like him very much. He also said
Second Master Lian took advantage of the fact that the eldest man was seriously ill. In the name of taking care of him, he actually put him under house arrest and refused to give him medicine. He was also not allowed to see outsiders!
True and false remarks were spread by interested people and became very popular for a while.
Jia Lian had a contemptuous attitude towards this. If Jia She lived well, it might be useful to ruin his reputation. Now that Jia She is like this, I think of it, isn't it too late?
Even so, Jia Lian still did not let it go.
Anyone who is caught making or spreading rumors will be interrogated individually and pinned down in front of the gate of the East Crossing Courtyard, with dozens of big boards waiting on him.
On the one hand, he made three trips a day, constantly inviting the elders of the clan to come and see Jia She.
With such a two-pronged approach, these rumors gradually disappeared. They did not have any adverse impact on Jia Lian. On the contrary, they made it clear to those with a clear eye that there were young people behind the scenes, plotting evil intentions.
As for who it was, under Jia Lian's deliberate guidance, many people could guess it and couldn't help but sneer at it.
"It's true that the toad wants to eat swan meat and only thinks about good things!"
Sister Feng was particularly angry and was about to spit in someone's face, but Jia Lian stopped her.
With Wang Xifeng's temperament of scolding others and focusing on exposing their shortcomings, if she went over to make a fuss, she would definitely make others look disgraced, but it would be meaningless and she would also lose her own dignity.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year has passed and all the government offices in Beijing have begun to resume their daily work, a group of officers and soldiers drove up from Ningrong Street and stopped at the gate of the East Crossing Courtyard.
When the gates of Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion saw it, they all came in to report the news.
Of course, Jia Lian, who was in the Dongkua courtyard, got the news immediately. He hurriedly packed his clothes and came out. He was very surprised when he saw the leader. He immediately came forward and said, "I have met my second uncle. I wonder why he is here?"
Zhang Song, a doctor at the Ministry of War, seemed to have no idea about Jia She's condition. He looked at Jia Lian with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "It's a happy event for the ministry to have you. The minister knows about our relationship, so he specially communicated with her."
Let me do it."
When Jia Lian heard this, he probably guessed something and bowed to wait.
Zhang Song stretched out his hand and took the document from his entourage. Behind Jia Lian, the disciples in the East Crossing Courtyard thought it was an imperial edict and knelt down one after another.
Jia Lian had already been an official once, so he naturally understood that the emperor's canonization decree to the Ministry of War was to seal up the Ministry of War. What he could take out was the appointment document from the Ministry of War, so he could only be more respectful.
Zhang Song didn't care how others reacted, he unfolded the text and said:
"Commission:
Jia Lian took over the post of commander of the Xicheng Army and Horses Division and was required to take office within three days.
The tenth day of the first month of the fifth year of Ningkang."
Zhang Song only read the text on the first page, then closed the text and handed it into Jia Lian's hands.
Jia Lian took it and subconsciously opened it and took a look.
In addition to what Zhang Song read, there is also a large area of small print content at the back, which describes his identity, experience and basic appearance, and is also stamped with the seal of the Ministry of War.
This is his declaration of identity and the main credential for him to take office.
Without taking a closer look, Jia Lian closed the door and bowed to Zhang Song: "Thank you, sir. I will serve you faithfully despite my humble position and live up to the high expectations of your majesty and the court!"
Zhang Song nodded casually and summoned two Ministry of War officials who were holding trays to come up and said: "Here are your official seals, official uniforms and waist badges. You must keep these things properly. If any are lost or damaged,
, must be reported to the Ministry of War in time."
The last sentence is Zhang Song's special expression. He was worried that Jia Lian would not understand these details and principles when he first entered officialdom.
"I understand." Jia Lian nodded. After taking the things, seeing that Zhang Song had no other instructions, he invited Zhang Song in for tea.
Zhang Song glanced at the gloomy Dongkuoyuan and shook his head: "The ministry still has official duties, so I won't delay here any longer. Remember, you must go to the Xicheng Army and Horses Yamen to take up the post within the deadline and familiarize yourself with military affairs as soon as possible."
Jia Lian agreed, knowing that the Zhang family still couldn't see Jia She, so he didn't force him. He respectfully invited Zhang Song to get in the car and watched him leave.
"Congratulations to the second master, congratulations to the second master...!"
As soon as Zhang Song left, the servants and servants came forward one by one and kowtowed in congratulations.
Some of them may not understand what kind of official title their second master has been given, but who cares, just pay homage first and then talk about it.
Jia Lian waved to these people to wake up, and then did not move. He had already seen Jia Zhen in the east and Jia Zheng in the west leading people over.
After all, Jia Zhen ran faster. He took a few steps forward and smiled at Jia Lian: "Brother Lian, I heard that you have been promoted again. What was your promotion this time? To what rank?"
Jia Lian shook his head modestly and waited for Jia Zheng to approach before saying: "Xicheng Army and Horse Department, this yamen junior is not very familiar with me, and I would like to ask Brother Zhen to clarify my doubts."
"Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division? I am familiar with this, and I often deal with it. They are responsible for the security and traffic of all the streets and roads in Xicheng, such as arresting thieves, as well as nighttime fire prevention and curfew. They are also in charge of it.
.
By the way, there are also officers and soldiers at the city gate, who are also affiliated with the Wucheng Military and Horse Division. This is a government office with truly important responsibilities...
How can you say that Brother Lian was sent here?"
While Jia Zhen was talking, she hesitated again and asked, "Is it the commander? Or the deputy?"
Jia Zhen is really familiar with the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, which often deals with wealthy and noble families.
The Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities is divided into five yamen: central, east, south, west and north. They are not subordinate to each other, but they all belong to the Ministry of War and are also under the control of the Beijing Camp. It is a typical dual jurisdiction.
In terms of status, he is a small yamen, but there are a lot of troubles, and he is in a capital city full of powerful people, so he is often the yamen who takes the blame.
Upon hearing that Jia Lian was transferred to a place like this, Jia Zhen was both regretful and happy...
Just another thought, Jia Lian was originally a fifth-rank officer, so there was no reason for him to go to the border and come back and be demoted and hired. Therefore, in the entire Xicheng Military and Horse Department, it seems that only the position of chief and deputy commander is suitable for Jia Lian. A fourth-rank officer
Grades, one from the fourth grade...
Jia Lian smiled and said: "It's not the deputy."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, then congratulations to brother Lian. At such a young age, you have become the chief official of a yamen. Congratulations, congratulations!"
Jia Zhen received an expected reply, but it was a bit sour.
This is the fourth grade, the fourth grade...
Brother, I am only at the third level, only at the third level!
This is because this kid hasn’t conquered the title yet. After he conquers the title, he will really surpass me...
Jia Zheng, who was next to him, had even more mixed feelings in his heart. However, when Jia Lian looked over, he still had a beard and pretended not to care: "Well, yes, Xicheng Military and Horse Division, although the yamen is small, it has important responsibilities.
You are the chief officer, and you must do your best in the future to live up to His Majesty's love and the great trust of the court..."
What else can Jia Zheng say? Although his civil and military skills are not comparable, he only started from the fourth grade. He really only started from the fourth grade. He will be fifty soon!
And this kid will not turn twenty until two months later...
Jia Lian handed over to Jia Zheng and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, sir. My nephew is very busy. In the future, when he becomes an official, he will need your guidance and support."
Because Jia Lian said it sincerely, Jia Zheng did not doubt that Jia Lian was mocking him, so he nodded slightly, hummed, and said: "This is good news. The old lady is still waiting there. Go in in person and report it to her."
Let’s have some fun.”
After saying that, Jia Zheng looked at Jia Zhen and said, "Now that you are here, let's go in and see the great master."
"yes."
So two middle-aged and elderly people with sore hearts walked in together, ready to take a good look at the living dead who had a better life than them, but at this time, they could only look at the living dead lying on the bed in an attempt to find some happiness.
When they entered, Jia Lian regained his humility.
He is a fourth-grade commander. It just so happens that when he reached the highest level under Wang Ziteng, he held the position of commander of an army, and he happened to be a fourth-grade mid-level military attaché.
Of course, it was a temporary appointment on the battlefield and could not be considered a positive number, so after he returned to Beijing, he still only received the rank of fifth-grade school captain.
The emperor then confirmed his position as commander, which shows that the emperor really valued him.
Since the emperor is so thoughtful, it seems that he has to perform better.
As for the chief official of the yamen who takes the blame... Hey, catch the thieves and set fires, uh, it's fire prevention, which is not bad, and he has military power, right? Although it's not much.
Therefore, Jia Lian looked at Dongquaoyuan and Rongguo Mansion again.
From today on, he no longer needs to be so timid and can selectively use force to break the law!
By the way, if you don't look back, you'll strangle Jia She to death...
