Not to mention that the second political master spent money to buy projects and never came back. The life of the first master here is quite regular, but there will always be noise in the peaceful life.
It's not a matter of work. As the left minister of the Ministry of Works, no one in the Ministry of Works except the Minister dared to take the initiative to provoke him.
The elder has no intention of messing around with the Ministry of Works. The interests of the entire Ministry of Works have not been affected, and naturally he will not encounter stupid young people for no reason.
Especially after the relationship between the eldest master and Prince Zhongshun was revealed, even the Minister of Works did not dare to stab him in front of him, let alone the lower-level officials of the Ministry of Works.
What can make him feel unhappy is the bad things that happened in Ning Rong's second residence.
This time it was not the Rongguo Mansion that had a problem, but the Ning Mansion.
You can't say it's wrong, it's just a rumor that makes the elder very unhappy. Isn't this a lie?
Jia Zhen doesn't know what he does for a living. There's a lot of talk outside about him removing ashes, but this guy doesn't even react at all?
There are many rich and powerful families with such things, but the key is not to expose them. Once they are exposed, it will be a huge scandal.
In particular, the target of Jia Zhen's ashes is Qin Keqing. This person's identity is embarrassing. Once the royal family is disgusted, the Ningguo Mansion is not far from being destroyed.
Even the Prince of Yizhong County, where Jia Zhen took refuge, probably didn't feel much better after hearing the rumors.
Before the eldest master could seek any misfortune on Jia Zhen, Lian Er was the first to become unable to sit still.
Different from the playboy in the original work, although the current Lian Er is still lustful, he is not as shameless as in the original work and made everyone famous and completely ruined his reputation.
At the moment, he pays more attention to career development and is not very interested in having a relationship with a female ghost. Even if he is interested, he is worried that the elder will punish him.
But there was no problem with Lian Er, but unexpectedly, the patriarch Jia Zhen did.
Fortunately, Lian Er has already been promoted to half a rank at this time, from the fourth rank. If the news about Jia Zhen's removal of ashes comes out just when he is upgrading, Lian Er will be affected, and he might be able to upgrade properly.
The opportunity flew away.
Lian Er would never allow it because the relationship with others would affect his career.
So he immediately found the eldest master and made a request: "Sir, you see that Brother Zhen has gone too far. We must eliminate the impact as soon as possible, otherwise it may affect the master's future in the future!"
"My future will not be affected by such rumors!"
The elder said with a half-smile, "I'm afraid your kid's future will be even more affected!"
"I couldn't hide it from the master. My son was worried that he would be implicated, so he wanted to ask the master to take action. He told Brother Zhen that the influence must be eliminated as soon as possible!"
Lian Er smiled awkwardly and begged bravely.
"Even if you don't tell me about this, I will still seek bad luck for Jia Zhen!"
The elder squinted his eyes and said leisurely: "He is having fun himself, but he can't affect the future of the clan, otherwise he will have a good time!"
"My son will be relieved now that the master is here to help!"
Lian Er breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "There are too many restrictions in the officialdom. If anything goes wrong, your future may be ruined. I don't know when I will be able to make a difference?"
After saying that, he glanced at the elder carefully, as if he was afraid that the elder would notice.
"Okay, I understand what your kid is thinking!"
The eldest man said angrily: "Let me be clear. It is estimated that if you want to be promoted in the capital in a short period of time, you can no longer hope to be promoted. You can only serve as a magistrate in another place and then come back. What do you think?"
"My son really hasn't thought about this!"
As soon as he heard that he was leaving the capital, Lian Er's expression immediately turned bitter and he said depressedly: "Master, can't we go to places like Taipu Temple and Hongyuan Temple?"
"Don't even think about it!"
The elder said with a smile: "What achievements does your boy have to be able to sit in the chief official position of these two yamen?"
"Isn't there still a master covering me?"
Lian Er licked his face and said with a smile: "With the master taking action, what else can't be solved?"
"There are so many things that I can't solve!"
The elder said angrily: "Please stay in Shuntian Mansion for a while. As long as you don't go on business trips, you can be transferred again in less than two years!"
"Listen to the master!"
Lian Er agreed. He just said it casually. If there was such an opportunity, he would not let it go. But if the eldest master did not support it, Lian Er would not be able to do anything.
In other words, Ning Rong's Second Mansion and the outside world seem to be two different worlds.
Many times, the news that spreads a lot from the outside world does not cause the slightest ripples in the Ning Rong Mansion, let alone discussion, and there is no trace of dissemination.
In the opinion of the elder, this is a manifestation of the inability of the leaders of the two governments to control their subordinates.
The news from the outside mainly came to the mansion from the servants, but the two mansions were often isolated from the outside world. It was obvious that the servants worked together to deceive them, either intentionally or unintentionally.
This time Jia Zhen's incident was no exception. There was a lot of rumors outside, but the masters of the two houses knew nothing about it and lived a nurturing life of wealth and glory.
Especially Jia Zhen, who has been having an affair with Mrs. Qin recently. She spends all day in the house having fun, how could she know that the outside world has peeled off his skin?
But he didn't hear the slightest news. The gang of libertines who interacted with each other on a regular basis thought that Jia Zhen didn't care about it. While he admired it in his heart, he naturally didn't take the initiative to mention it.
As for whether the servants of the Ning Mansion intentionally or unintentionally cut off Jia Zhen's sight and hearing, no one can tell.
However, that day, Jia Jie, who was under the great master, came to the door in person, accompanied by several qi and blood. At first glance, he was not a burly man who was good at fighting.
"Uncle Zhen, our master invites you to go to the other courtyard!"
Seeing Jia Zhen, Jia Jie said expressionlessly: "Please do me a favor, Uncle Zhen!"
"What happened?"
Jia Zhen was startled by such a posture and did not get up in a hurry. She asked curiously.
"This matter has something to do with Uncle Zhen!"
Jia Jie did not urge him and said calmly: "My master said that if Uncle Zhen doesn't want to die, he should go to another hospital!"
"What did you say?"
Jia Zhen was angry at first and then startled. She was even shocked and confused. Why did the elder suddenly send him such an inexplicable sentence?
Jia Jie had no intention of staying in Ning Mansion anymore, so he urged him directly: "The brothers around me are all rough guys who are used to practicing martial arts. It would be bad if we accidentally hurt Uncle Zhen!"
Jia Zhen immediately put away her lingering thoughts, glared at Jia Jie angrily, ignored the expressions of the servants and concubines around her, and hurried away with Jia Jie and others.
"The eldest master of Xifu is too overbearing. He treats our master like this?"
"Yes, looking at the posture just now, if the master doesn't agree, he will really take action!"
"Why, our master is still the patriarch of the Jia family!"
"..."
There are no secrets inside Ning Rong's Second Mansion.
Especially because there was such a big movement, the eldest master actually sent someone to take Jia Zhen away. The news spread quickly among the servants of the two houses and quickly reached Jia Mu's ears.
"What do you want to do, boss?"
Mother Jia's face was full of displeasure, and she said angrily: "Is there something that I can't talk about properly? I have to make the city a storm. I want to make this old lady angry to death!"
The maids in the courtyard of Rongqing Hall looked at each other. It seems that the elder did not offend the old lady this time. Why did the old lady blame the elder again?
"It's unfair. Go tell Feng Lazi and ask her to send someone to the other courtyard to find out the news clearly!"
After feeling sulky for a while, Jia Mu directly ordered: "After you get the news, come back and report it as soon as possible!"
She didn't care at all about what Jia Zhen had committed, but was very unhappy that she couldn't blackmail the elder, and the elder's indifferent attitude made her even more angry.
Wang Xifeng listened to what Yuanyang conveyed, hurriedly handled the work at hand, and simply took the sedan door directly. It happened that she hadn't seen Sister Qiao for several days, and she missed her.
"This big old man knows how to do everything he can!"
He talked to his confidant maid Ping'er like this, but when he arrived at the other courtyard, Wang Xifeng was not as arrogant as the servants in the mansion. He followed the maid into the backyard honestly, picked up Sister Qiao who was playing in the garden, and
Next to her, Yingchun was chatting and asking for news.
"Second sister-in-law, haven't you heard the gossip outside?"
Yingchun was not stupid. She quickly understood Wang Xifeng's purpose and asked in surprise.
"What rumors are spreading outside?"
Wang Xifeng was confused. Things in the house had been a bit busy recently. She didn't know much about things outside the house. Could it be that this matter was related to the outside world?
"The rumors outside are too unpleasant. Brother Lian and the eldest master are very dissatisfied. Brother Zhen will definitely not be in trouble this time!"
The girl's family naturally would not say those dirty words outside, but just reminded Wang Xifeng that the matter was quite troublesome, and the elder lost his temper because of it.
Is this good enough?
Wang Xifeng was shocked. Even if everyone in the house, from the old lady to the maids who did menial work, didn't seem to take the eldest man seriously, this was not the case.
The eldest man is the talisman of the house. If he really loses his temper, even the old lady will have to stay away. This time, Brother Zhen from the neighboring house has a problem. Not to mention that the Rong Mansion will not help him, but the eldest man is really making trouble unreasonably.
, even if the old lady comes, there will be nothing to do.
In the study room of the other courtyard, the elder stared at Jia Zhen coldly, with cold eyes without any emotion, like a poisonous snake with dark stripes. He stared at Jia Zhen with cold sweat on her head and was at a loss.
"If you want to die, you can just kill yourself. Why bother dragging both houses down?"
After a long time, the elder finally softened his expression and asked in confusion: "What on earth do you think?"
Jia Zhen was shocked and frightened, but at a loss. The elder sent his confidants to invite him. As soon as he came, he said some incomprehensible words and stared at him for a long time with a look like a dead man. He also wanted to ask
