Chapter 115: Talking about Jia Yucun in the study. Suddenly someone came to deliver a shocking news
Farewell to his master, he made an agreement with Changbai, who had become old friends at first sight, to exchange letters frequently in the future, and also promised Changfeng to go play polo with him when he had time. It was already late when Jia Lan, who left the Sheng Mansion, returned to the Grand View Garden. p>
Leng Zixing, who had been invited in advance, had been waiting in front of Jia Lan's study and was about to come forward to greet him after seeing Jia Lan.
Jia Lan waved his hand and asked immediately: "Uncle Leng, how much do you know about Jia Yu Village?"
If there is anyone in the Rongguo Mansion who is familiar with Jia Yucun, it is definitely Leng Zixing, because Jia Yucun had known Leng Zixing in the old days in Shenjing.
, the rise of Jiayu Village originated from Leng Zixing’s plan.
When Leng Zixing heard that Jia Lan asked about Jia Yucun, his face was slightly startled and he looked a little uncomfortable, but he quickly covered it up and just smiled and said: "I was really familiar with Jia Yucun in the early years. I didn't know that Brother Lan wanted to ask."
What?"
Jia Lan pondered for a moment and asked: "What is the official reputation of this talent school?"
Leng Zixing said: "In terms of talent and learning, Jia Yucun is extraordinary. If you think of the way of being an official, this person has obviously acquired the three tastes of officialdom!"
Jia Lan said "Oh". With his spiritual sense, he could see the complex expression on Leng Zixing's face from the moment he heard Jia Yucun's name to when he spoke, and his tone was somewhat insincere.
"From Uncle Leng's tone, it seems that he is quite sad about this person?"
Leng Zixing stiffened, glanced at Jia Lan, and then sighed: "As expected of you, Brother Lan. I really can't hide anything from you."
He sat down slowly, looking a little shocked. Jia Lan asked someone to serve him tea.
Leng Zixing took the hot tea and took a sip before he began to tell the story of his interaction with Jia Yucun from beginning to end. Jia Lan also got a glimpse of Jia Yucun, a man he had never met before, but who had come up with him many times in the Dream of Red Mansions.
People who play a key role in promoting.
According to Leng Zixing, Jia Yucun was a talented scholar who was not tolerated by the world and had clear ideals and great aspirations.
However, since he became the prefect of Jinling, the relationship between him and Leng Zixing has become estranged.
Although the gifts sent during the holidays became more and more valuable, Leng Zixing always felt that Jia Yucun felt a little more alienated from him.
Later, Jiayu Village moved to Fujian, and Leng Zixing, who had just taken over Jialan's business, decided to go south to visit old friends.
Jia Lan seemed to have remembered something and said: "I remembered it. It was when I first went to the academy. You left Shenjing and didn't come back for several months. When you first came back, your face was not very good. I thought it was
You’re tired of traveling and traveling.”
Leng Zixing nodded: "That's when."
"Could it be that... Uncle Leng had a conflict with Jia Yucun when he went south?" Jia Lan asked.
Leng Zixing, who put down his teacup, smiled instead: "Brother Lan, you guessed it wrong. That time, Brother Shi Fei and I wanted to have a good talk, and he even helped me make a business deal, but..." Leng Zi
Xing looked a little hesitant, Jia Lan was not in a hurry, just waiting for him to collect himself and continue talking slowly.
"Brother Shi Fei has changed. He has become more cruel, more arrogant, and more unscrupulous..."
Leng Zixing murmured for a while, paused again, and finally shook his head and said to himself: "No, maybe he hasn't changed. He is decisive and unambiguous in killing, and he sees the stakes clearly.
.
Yes...he has never changed..."
At this time, Jia Lan was also recalling the plot about Jia Yucun in the original work in his mind. After careful consideration, he suddenly discovered that it seemed that after the prefecture of Jinling, Jia Yucun's life trajectory was different from that in the book.
Originally, Jia Yucun's life trajectory should have been that he served as the prefect of Jinling for several years, returned to Beijing to meet with his Majesty last year, and then filled the gap in Beijing.
Although the book is not clear about it, it is thought that he must have become a high-ranking official in Shuntian Mansion before the section about the fan case of Shi Duzi was included.
But now everything has changed.
When Jia Lan first time travelled, Keqing passed away, and she waited in confusion until Keqing met her soul after her funeral. Then she gathered herself and started on the road to Diecui Academy, in order to change the fate of Jia's family. It was both academic and career. Unknowingly,
I feel like I have ignored some people.
Until today when she heard about Jia Yucun at Shenghong Mansion, Jia Lan was shocked.
At this time, Leng Zixing finally sorted out his thoughts and told Jia Lan in detail what he had seen when he went south: After traveling by land and water for two months, he came to Fucheng Yamen with a famous post and met Jia Yucun, who met Jia Yucun.
Leng Zixing couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly served tea to greet him and invited Leng Zixing to come over and stay for a while.
Leng Zixing entered the Yucun Mansion, but saw that the pavilions and pavilions were all magnificent. He met the wife of Yucun, who turned out to be Jiao Xing, the maid of Zhen Shiyin's family. He saw that she was wearing gold and silver, and all her clothes were made by great craftsmen.
I secretly sighed at the luxury of Yucun.
"That's fine, but this time I went south, I discovered something very bad."
Leng Zixing was a little solemn: "I'm afraid that Jia Shifei has found another supporter and participated in maritime affairs, and is even suspected of collaborating with the Japanese."
"Tongwa?" Jia Lan was a little confused. Is it necessary for Jia Yu to be the village official?
Seeing Jia Lan's doubts, Leng Zixing explained: "Young master, I don't know that the so-called "travelling with Japanese pirates" actually refers to the general meaning. It doesn't just refer to the traffic Japanese pirates. In fact, most of them refer to those large merchants along the coast.
There are also red-haired businessmen..."
But this did not reduce Jia Lan's confusion. Just like when he was in Shengfu, he always believed that this was not something that a right-wing Fujian politician in Jia Yu Village could contact privately. The control of the southeast by the Great Xia Dynasty was far greater than that of the Ming Dynasty.
Separately located on the southeast coast, there are also three weaving and embroidery guards, etc., under supervision at all levels...
Thinking of this, Jia Lan was shocked. Thinking of what Leng Zixing had just said, he raised his head in surprise: "You want to say...?"
Leng Zixing nodded: "I'm afraid the people behind Brother Shi Fei's involvement are quite powerful. Originally, I wanted to use Brother Shi Fei's path to open up a trade route for the young master. After I realized something was wrong, I felt very uneasy, so I put these thoughts into my mind.
I restrained myself, just reminisced with him about old times, asked him to make a few small antique deals, and then returned to Beijing."
Jia Lan said: "You are right. The Jia family's goal is too big to be involved in such things without being clear."
Leng Zixing sighed: "Brother Shi Fei seems to be a different person from before, but if you think about it carefully, everything seems to be reasonable. He used to be dedicated to the people, but now he has all the cleverness in him.
All his talents were used to make money by running a business, and he became a complete bureaucrat. You can make friends, but not deeply."
This confirms the saying that when intellectuals become snobbish, they are indeed three points more powerful than ordinary people.
But Jia Lan still has doubts. With Jia Yucun's position at this level, if he still makes money wantonly, won't he be afraid of the all-pervasive embroidered guards?
Is someone helping him cover it up, or is he trying to cover up something?
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a commotion outside. Qin Shi hurriedly came to report that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang had ordered people to come to invite him. He also said that the matter was extremely urgent and asked Jia Lan to rush there as soon as possible.
Jia Lan walked out of the study and saw Yuanyang and Zhou Rui's family waiting at the main entrance of Daoxiang Village. Meeting Jia Lan was like meeting a savior.
As they walked together, Jia Lan heard that Baoyu and Sister Feng fell into madness at the same time. The ladies remembered Jia Lan's medical skills and quickly sent for them.
Jialan's feet suddenly stopped, his eyes flickered, and a name came to his mind!
