But it was said that the Sixth Prince suddenly wanted to punish Jia Lian, and the saint was confused. Feng Ziying had always been in charge of Rongguo Mansion, so he hurriedly ordered him to go and inquire about it. Feng Ziying called Jia Cong and talked for a long time, and Jia Cong groaned.
: "Anyway, you have offended someone. Don't ask Brother Feng, and don't ask Second Brother either. He doesn't dare to say anything."
After hearing the report, the saint thought for a long time and asked, "You and Jia Lian are quite familiar with each other. What do you think?"
Feng Ziying kowtowed and said: "According to my humble opinion, Jia Lian has nothing wrong with him. Only the word 'sex' has caused him trouble."
The saint couldn't help but laugh: "Could it be that Jia Lian seduced Lao Liu's woman?"
Feng Ziying lowered her head and said: "The Sixth Prince's woman is only in the palace, and he has no way of seeing her, unless she is an outcast with a bad background."
The saint thought about the old face of the sixth prince, and then thought about Jia Lian's handsome peach face, and smiled: "Since ancient times, Chang'e has loved young people, which makes sense." He added, "If it is just a small romantic thing, the sixth prince really has nothing to do with it.
Measure, why bother to be in trouble with an ordinary petty official?"
Feng Ziying said: "Of course it doesn't matter if you are a minor official, what matters is your face."
The saint couldn't help laughing even more.
But at this moment, Dai Quan came in and said, "The wise king is a thousand years old and wants to see you." The saint hurriedly ordered him to come in.
Suddenly Situ Pan entered the palace and said with a smile: "That little brat Jia Cong came to ask me to ask for a favor from the saint and let Jia Lian go."
The saint frowned slightly: "Why is this? Those things that Lao Liu impeached are all in a mess."
Situ Pan said: "I think it would be a good idea to temporarily move Jia Lian out. Sixth brother has warriors in his hands. If impeachment is useless, other methods will be used to protect him."
The saint frowned: "He dares!"
Situ Pan smiled bitterly and said nothing.
The saint asked angrily: "Does he think I am just a decoration?"
Situ Pan advised: "Third brother, wait a minute, the old man is still here for the time being. Jia Lian looked like a dandy at first; judging from the years he has been in the court, he is extremely frivolous but practical. Let him go outside to practice.
I hope you can become a talented person if you don't have enough." He said and winked, indicating that he still had pigtails all over his body that were easy to catch.
The saint slapped the dragon case hard, and no one dared to say a word. After two cups of tea, he asked: "In your opinion, where can I move him?"
Situ Pan smiled and said: "Jia Cong begged for mercy and said that it would be best if his brother could go to Qiongzhou or Taiwan." As he said that, he unceremoniously recounted all the "sea bans and shipyards" that Jia Cong said that day. Hearing "
Look at what the saint means, wait until the old saint leaves..." Feng Ziying couldn't help laughing.
The saint's face looked a little uncertain, and he glanced at him: "What are you laughing at?"
Feng Ziying said with a smile: "I am very familiar with Jia Cong, so these words must be said by that boy. His usual words are quite disrespectful to the old saint."
The saint snorted: "It's a waste of time to guess what I mean!" His expression softened a little.
Situ Pan smiled and said: "Ruhai is his husband. I'm afraid Ruhai said something inadvertently. He is also very clever. It's not surprising that he can guess the third brother's thoughts. Anyway, if Ruhai is there, the big house of the Jia family must be
The second bedroom on our end is Jia Zheng, who is useless, and Jia Baoyu is a nerd. The one who will be useful in the future is Jia Huan."
The saint nodded: "Ruhai's disciples must be useful. What about the son of Jia She's personal soldier?"
Situ Pan said: "Twenty years later there will be another Lin Hai."
The saint smiled and said, "I'll be waiting."
Two days later, the imperial court issued a decree to transfer Jia Lian, the deputy envoy of the Political Envoy Department, to be the governor of Taiwan! There was an uproar in the court. Jia Lian was originally the fourth rank, but the prefect was promoted from the fourth rank. Not only was he dropped one level, but he was also transferred from another country.
They were in a barbaric land! It was just like being sent to a banquet. The people of the Sixth Prince were so arrogant that they could barely raise their chins to their eyebrows, but Jia Lian honestly accepted the order to thank him and behaved with his tail between his legs. It had only been a day.
, the saint specially gave Jia Lian a Duan inkstone for his daily use! The court was in an uproar again and made wild guesses. It is easy for courtiers to get rewards, but how difficult it is to get something that the saint uses daily! The word "Duan" in Duan Inkstone is also very interesting.
When Lao Fuhe heard yesterday that Jia Lian had been demoted and released, he stayed at home and wrote hard notes to redress Jia Lian's grievances. However, he got this letter before he had finished revising the notes. He laughed, tore up the manuscript and twisted it.
The bearded man proudly said to his son: "How can I see the wrong person with my eyes? Send a good gift to Rongguo Mansion to congratulate me!"
His son was stunned: "Congratulations? Mr. Jia has been demoted..."
Lao Fuhe hummed and said, "Are you still worried about whether you will be able to go up in the future?" Then he walked away with his arms behind his back and his chest raised.
When Wang Xifeng received the congratulatory gift from Lao Mansion, she couldn't help but smile and said to Ping'er: "Second Master, this old boss is really a wise man!"
When Jia's mother heard that Jia Lian was going to be released, she was depressed. What happened to Naitian's family? So she called Wang Xifeng and said, "Lian'er will be gone for at least three years. That place is far away. Let Ping'er go with him. You
You and Meng'er Fu'er are still at the house."
Wang Xifeng had known that she was going out to avoid chaos this time. Taiwan is very close to Guangdong and Guangxi, so it would be cheaper to see Wang Ziteng. She hurriedly said: "Second Master is reluctant to let Meng'er go, so he asked me to take him with me."
Mother Jia's face darkened: "It's rare for my old lady to let go of Meng'er? Taiwan is so far away, how can a child like Meng'er bear it?"
Wang Xifeng casually pushed 265: "My granddaughter-in-law really has nothing to do with the second master. I hope our ancestors will tell him."
Jia Mu ordered someone to call Jia Lian over, but Wang Xifeng said, "The second master hasn't gone to office yet. There are many things at hand that I have to hand over to my colleagues." Jia Mu had to ask him to go back to the house and come back.
Unexpectedly, Jia Lian asked his colleagues to take him to have a drink in the evening. When he came back drunk, he fell on the kang and couldn't move. Jia's mother prepared many words but didn't wait for him, so she was so angry that she smashed the tea cup. Jia Lian was out for the next few nights.
After socializing, it was almost midnight when he returned home every day, and he gradually forgot about Jia Mu calling him to go.
Wang Xifeng, however, arranged the accounts alone and invited Li Wan to come over and explain them one by one.
Yuanyang got this letter and quietly wrote it back to Jia Mu. Jia Mu was stunned for a long time and sighed: "My old lady is really old!"
On the other side, Jia Cong quietly slipped into the courtyard of the girls, invited Tanchun and Xichun together, and asked, "What do you think of Sister Shi's stay in our house these days? Are you willing to do something not so good for us?"
When Shi Nai returned to Beijing, he had people take Shi Xiangyun back.
Tan Xi and the two were startled, and Tan Chun asked, "What's not a good thing?"
Jia Cong said: "There is something I haven't told you two sisters. Seeing that my ancestor is approaching his eightieth birthday, I'm afraid that what should come will come on that day." He then whispered that Concubine Hui had chosen Lin Daiyu as his daughter-in-law.
Once.
Erchun was shocked! Xichun blurted out: "Doesn't Sister Lin want to go into the fire pit?"
Jia Cong said: "Isn't that right? Their family is the emperor's family, and it is not Sister Lin but Uncle Lin that they are interested in. There is really no way to make them let go. I have no choice but to run away."
Tanchun frowned and said: "Is there anything in the world that is not the king's land? Where are you going to run away to?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Because, there is another matter. The Emperor has only two years left to live."
Erchun looked at each other and Tanchun said: "So, doesn't it mean that the situation in the court may have changed in the past two years?"
Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "Not only are there changes, there is going to be a war." I even sent weapons for them. "I asked the wise king for the release of my second brother." He looked at his two sisters and said, "
The fourth sister is still younger, and the third sister must find a way to go south together. You are fifteen years old this year, the second uncle is a lack of courage, and the ancestors are snobbish and have no foresight. What if some family accidentally takes over when the chaos first starts?
If you have the upper hand, some important men come to ask for your hand in marriage. If they can't keep it together, they will marry you. Not to mention that the man you promised is a good man. Since the situation is chaotic, the one who has the upper hand and even the throne may not be able to sit securely."
Xichun said anxiously: "Are you just going to leave me behind?!"
Jia Cong said: "I have an idea, but I have to use Sister Shi to pretend to be a fool for a while, but I don't know if she is willing to do it. The two sisters can use this to escape, and even Sister Lin can catch up with her."
He whispered once.
After hearing this, Xichun immediately said: "I'll come!"
Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "Sister, why bother with this reputation? I want to trouble Sister Shi's family to sing this play, just to make a personal deal with her. Help us this time, take her with us, and the position of Second Grandma Bao will remain.
Give it to her. Just don’t help. I’ll think of another way.”
Xichun said: "I am more suitable than Sister Yun. If you think about it carefully, if Sister Yun comes to sing in this play, my third sister and I would like to leave in the future. It will be difficult to find an excuse. Who cares about such a small reputation? In two years
Naturally, I forgot. Since Concubine Hui fell in love with Sister Lin because she fell in love with her father, in the future I..." Her face turned red, "Could it be that she fell in love with me?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "That being said, it's not a good thing after all. It's better to let others do it."
Tan Chun also said: "I think the fourth girl is more suitable. After all, Yun Yatou is not a girl from our family."
Jia Cong looked at the two of them and said helplessly: "I also know that the fourth sister is more suitable...that's all, I am the fourth sister's support anyway."
Xichun chuckled: "I really want to be a shrew."
On this day, Jia Mu's eightieth birthday, everyone in the court concluded that Jia Lian would become a high-ranking official sooner or later, so there were more visitors than initially expected. All important families in the capital came with important female relatives to praise Jia Mu.
Wang Xifeng's flattery made the two of them laugh from ear to ear.
Suddenly, someone came in a hurry to report that Concubine Hui had sent an important father-in-law and an aunt to serve her! Everyone was shocked and delighted, and Jia Mu hurriedly led the people out to welcome them.
I saw the two people coming in with smiles on their faces, and bowed to Jia Mu very respectfully, saying, "Congratulations to the old birthday star~~" and gave Concubine Hui a pair of twenty-four jasper tables with a rosewood frame and a "Hundred Sons and Longevity Peach".
Screen comes.
Jia Mu was so flattered that she didn't even dare to flatter her.
The aunt looked around and immediately saw Lin Daiyu sitting in the middle of the visit. She hurriedly walked over with a smile on her face: "Isn't this Miss Lin?"
Daiyu quickly stood up and saluted: "Hello, aunt."
The aunt came forward and bowed deeply to her together with the eunuch: "I've met Miss Lin, she's nice."
The whole place was shocked.
Thinking of Lin Daiyu's father, who couldn't guess what Concubine Hui meant? Mother Jia opened her mouth even more. She suddenly remembered what Jia She said that day, "Ru Hai is as big as the sea in front of the saint, and Lin Yatou is not even a princess."
Question." The boss has a close relationship with Lin Hai. Could it be that he had received some information earlier? He was immediately glad that he had not proposed marriage to Lin Hai that day. Otherwise, Baoyu would not have been able to resist the flick of his fingernails if he had competed with the emperor's family for his wife.
Daiyu hurriedly returned the gift and said she couldn't afford it.
The aunt smiled and said: "If the girl can't afford it, who else can?" Then she stood in front of her table and complimented her for a long time. Her words ranged from tactful to straightforward, and everyone could tell that she was talking.
Flatter this girl Lin.
Daiyu only shook her head and could only say "dare not".
For a while, the two of them went back to the palace, and Jia Mu only sent her out of the inner ceremony gate herself. The two refused again and again and refused to let her go. The aunt even quietly said to Jia Mu: "A few days ago, our mother-in-law invited Miss Lin.
When I came to the palace, I was so gentle and generous! All the empresses were full of praise when they saw her. Our empresses know that Miss Lin was raised by the old lady, and we highly praise the old lady for her ability to educate people."
Mother Jia was so overjoyed that her hands trembled, and she hurriedly said: "This child is born with a great temperament, I really don't dare to take credit for it!"
The aunt smiled and returned to the palace together with the eunuch.
Jia Mu led the people back to the banquet. She straightened her body and raised her head even higher. It was almost three points higher than before! Everyone was busy flattering her.
Immediately, someone came up to Lin Daiyu and flattered her: "Miss Lin, you are so lucky! You will become a noble when you see her!"
Xichun had been waiting for someone to say this, and when he heard the words, he asked curiously: "Who are you?"
The man smiled and said: "Fourth girl, how clear is the meaning of Concubine Hui? Your sister Lin is about to enter the palace."
Xichun hurriedly pulled Daiyu and said, "Sister, please don't go into the palace! It won't be good at all if you go in."
She spoke a little louder, and Jia Mu heard it and shouted: "How dare you! You four girls must not talk nonsense!"
Xichun said loudly: "Have you ever said such nonsense? Uncle Lin is the minister, and she can find any brother-in-law to run amok at home. If she enters the palace, she will not have the final say!
You have to listen to your brother-in-law on everything."
Wang Xifeng hurriedly came over and said: "You are young and ignorant. Women regard their husbands as their top priority. Whenever you get married, no matter which family you marry into, you must obey the three principles and the four virtues..."
Xichun looked at Wang Xifeng. Although she was speechless, it was clearly written on her face: Second sister-in-law, are you coaxing the child? Wang Xifeng felt funny in her heart.
Jia's mother scolded: "It's all because of your usual carelessness in studying! I've said before that if a girl doesn't know a few words, she'll be blind if she doesn't." She shouted, "Don't go on!"
Xichun hurriedly saluted, made a face, and ran away.
Lin Daiyu guessed that there must be a reason for this, but no one discussed it with her in advance, so she took Tanchun and quietly gritted her teeth and said: "You guys are so shameless. You haven't even given me any letter. Just wait." Tanchun said.
He pursed his lips and smiled.
Everyone hurriedly complimented Jia Mu again, pretending that nothing had happened. But there were so many people here today, and what the four girls of the Jia family said immediately spread throughout the capital like a wind.
Some people secretly called her a "little shrew". This is a story for another day.
After the banquet broke up, Jia Mu was furious and immediately ordered people to go to Ningguo Mansion to call Jia Zhen to take Xichun back. However, Jia She's people stopped the woman as soon as she left the yard.
Jia She pretended to come over to persuade Jia Mu: "Four girls are still young and not sensible. After all, they were raised in our house, and they only caused a small quarrel. How can we just send them back like this? It's so inhumane."
Already."
Jia Mu said angrily: "Just listen to what she said! If it reaches the ears of Concubine Hui, what will happen if it delays Yu'er's important event!"
Jia She immediately laughed and said: "No, no, it's like the sea. What are four girls? Just a little girl."
Jia Mu said: "What about the third girl? The third girl is not young anymore."
Jia She then said: "I just had a discussion with Lian'er and Cong'er. What the four girls said today is really not very appropriate. But there is no need to worry. People forget things a lot. Anyway, Lian'er is about to take office. He
It’s far and remote there, so it’s bound to be harder the first time we go there. Now we just ask three girls and four girls to go with us to help Lian’s daughter-in-law take care of her nieces and nephews. After some time, this matter gradually became known.
Forget it, send some virtuous words to the two girls and go out and bring them back."
Jia Mu shook her head and said: "I'm afraid it's useless. All the famous people in Beijing are here today. Who doesn't know? How can I coax people to go?"
Jia She smiled and said: "Who is coaxing them? It's just to give everyone a face to get down the stairs. So what if the fourth girl is really a shrew? What is the meaning of the Duan Inkstone given to Lian'er by the saint for daily use? Don't the ancestors still understand?
Baoyu Cong'er and Huan'er are all smart, so they won't be afraid of not being able to stand up in the court in the future. Furthermore, there is Lin Yatou. When you became Hui Fei, did you really take a fancy to her virtuous and generous nature? I heard Ruhai say that Lin Yatou was the first time that day.
When she entered the palace, she was so frightened that she had no place to move her hands and feet. How could she be so generous? It's because she has no brothers, and all her cousins are useful!"
Jia Mu took a breath!
"Don't worry, ancestor, our girl will be saved by all the good families in the capital. Even the two Li family members who are raised in our family are amazing. You must be careful, ancestor, and don't just throw two of them into the family."
When you make a promise to a girl, remember, remember. Don’t even give permission to the eldest girl who is still in Shuiyue Temple. A girl in the family is like a treasure!"
Jia Mu's eyes widened and she couldn't recover for a long time.
Jia She hummed triumphantly: "In the past, they ignored me, but tomorrow I will make it impossible for them to climb up!"
