The man stood on the porch, looking at the flying snow in the sky, and took a deep breath:
"It's snowing!"
.
Good snow, your sister!
You have been sitting in your cozy room admiring the snow and having fun, but I have been kneeling in the snow freezing popsicles!
Jia Lian had been kneeling upright in the courtyard, his knees hard and his body cold. When he saw the visitor looking refreshed, he couldn't help but complain.
The man stretched his back, then turned to Jia Lian and said:
"I summoned you to the palace, do you know why?"
Damn it! You asked someone to escort me here like a thief, and then you asked me in a leisurely manner: "Guess, what am I doing here with you?"
It seems that those who became officials in later generations learned the so-called "emperor's mental skills" from the emperor - they are fucking fools!
However, the emperor's expression was gentle and ordinary at this time, which made Jia Lian feel that this person seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it, and he also wondered whether the original owner of his body had met the emperor before.
Jia Lian was a smart man, so he still replied loudly:
"I don't know.
I only know that ‘thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from heaven.’”
The emperor looked at the handsome young man in his twenties. He was courageous, knowledgeable, aware of current affairs, and understood the rules. He was indeed a man of great talent.
Especially at this time, what he is most afraid of is the "party of heroes" headed by the "four kings and eight princes" in the court. Among them, there is a young man who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but he is not a rare "hands-on"?
So the emperor smiled kindly and said:
"It's a pity that you are already married, otherwise I would have chosen a princess to marry you."
Jia Lian said:
"I don't have Princess Shang's life, nor do I have Princess Shang's heart.
It's better to let me do my job steadily, lest people say that my ancestors were ministers who followed the dragon, but I relied on the princess to become a dragonfly on the dragon's tail."
"A dragonfly on a dragon's tail?" The emperor burst into laughter upon hearing this, "This is the first time I've heard of this metaphor, hahaha."
Jia Lian rolled his eyes:
Tsk, even if you become the emperor, you have already read Qian Zhongshu's "Fortress Besieged". I have read it.
.
The emperor laughed for a while and said:
"In the first few days, Song Boxian, the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture, presented a report, saying that he wanted to recommend his fellow magistrates to succeed you. I was originally going to inspect you personally.
Judging from what happened today, Song Boxian really has a unique vision."
He coughed lightly and said:
"According to the decree, Jia Lian, the former magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture, was promoted to the post of magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture and took office three days later."
A eunuch in the room responded: "I obey the order."
Jia Lian also didn't expect that his promotion would go so smoothly. He was stunned and hurriedly kowtowed: "I accept the order and thank you."
The emperor smiled again:
"I asked you to come to see me today. I was in a hurry, but I asked you to come in plain clothes.
That's all, but when going out, it is against the rules to still wear plain clothes.
I’ll reward you with new clothes, wear them out.”
.
After thanking him, thanking him, and thanking him again, Jia Lian held a tray of new clothes and was still taken out of the yard by Wei Tongguang and four other guards.
Wei Tongguang still didn't say a word. He walked straight through four or five courtyards and two long alleys, and then entered another courtyard before saying:
"Master Jia, please change here."
After saying that, someone opened the door of a room and asked Jia Lian to go in and change clothes."
Jia Lian followed a guard in and saw two young eunuchs standing inside, obviously waiting for him to change his clothes. He couldn't help but feel a sense of embarrassment in his heart - what kind of era is this? In addition to the young men who "post sesame cakes", they are all "dead shemales"
"The eunuch is full of deep malice towards straight men.
However, when he actually changed his clothes, Jia Lian realized that it was really different for this eunuch, who was professional in serving people, to serve people.
During the whole process, the little eunuch always lowered his head and held his breath. His movements were light and quick, and his movements were smooth and smooth. It was simply a kind of enjoyment for the person being served to change clothes.
Sure enough, in any era and in any industry, professionals must be respected.
.
Jia Lian came out of the room and lowered his head to look at the purple auspicious robe he was wearing. Only the skirt of the robe had a gold and silver embroidery of sea water and cliffs.
But I heard Wei Tongguang say from the side:
"Master Jia's uniform is extraordinary. It is the daily uniform given to several princes by the current emperor."
Huh? This is really unexpected.
Wearing this back home, the noodles will look extraordinary.
Jia Lian knew in his heart that Mr. Wei Tongguangwei was a master who cherished words like gold. The word "kneel" he just mentioned to him was worth a thousand dollars.
So Jia Lian smiled:
"Master Wei, please lend me a moment to speak."
When Wei Tongguang saw that Jia Lian was interested, he said "hmm". Although he still had an expressionless face, he still followed Jia Lian to the side.
Jia Lian took out a wad of banknotes and stuffed them into Wei Tongguang's hand:
"Sir Wei, this official is someone who doesn't understand the rules. If I don't give you some advice today, I will definitely not be able to do any good things later.
These two thousand taels of silver are just a small thought from the lower official. Please accept it, Mr. Wei.
For the other five hundred taels of silver, please Sir Wei, please give me some money to thank the guards and my young father-in-law, so as not to make people laugh at me."
Wei Tongguang didn't want Jia Lian to be so generous, so he was stunned for a moment and then accepted:
"Master Jia's wishes, I accept them here.
Looking at today's situation, Mr. Jia will rarely have to come to this palace in the future. It will be convenient in the future if he takes more care."
So he turned around and said:
"Pack up Mr. Jia's plain clothes and ask you to send a father-in-law to accompany Mr. Jia back to the mansion."
.
In this way, when Jia Lian returned to Jia Mansion, he was dressed in purple and purple. In front of him was the leader of the Yulin Guards to clear the way, and behind him were escorted by four Yulin Guards. Finally, he was followed by a little eunuch from the palace holding the clothes. Such a battle really shocked the entire Rongguo Mansion.
I just heard that there were countless people watching along the way, and many people didn’t know what was going on. Someone who had seen the excitement before explained:
"Oh, he was taken away by the emperor before. Look, look, he went in wearing a white robe and came back in a purple robe. Why is there nothing embroidered on this robe? You can't tell the grade."
"Ah, why did you come back with the eunuch? Did this lord recruit a consort? Is this the consort's purple robe? It's incredible."
"The emperor didn't behead him? Why was he promoted? It seems that the Jia family is going to gain power."
"Which young master from the Jia family is this? He is so majestic! I heard that the emperor gave him this horse in advance, otherwise no one would dare to stop him."
After listening to the discussion along the way, Jia Lian felt emotional in his heart:
As expected, everyone only sees the ending.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Holding the red and suppressing the white is the same principle through the ages.
