Jia Ke still walked from the Moon Gate to Rongguo Mansion, passed through Jia Mu's yard, and came to Jia Zheng's residence next to Rongxi Hall. He first went to Mrs. Wang's yard to say hello to Mrs. Wang, regardless of whether Jia Ke had feelings for Mrs. Wang or not.
, these are all indispensable.
As soon as Jia Ke entered Mrs. Wang's courtyard, he saw a steady stream of maids bringing food inside. It looked like Jia Zheng was dining at Mrs. Wang's place.
Jia Ke came to the door. The little maid had opened the door curtain and put him in. Jia Ke entered the room and saw Jia Zheng sitting at the round table in the center having a meal. Mrs. Wang was accompanying him on the side. Unexpectedly, Jia Zhu also
exist.
When Jia Zheng saw Jia Ke coming in, he quickly greeted him and asked him to sit down and have a meal together.
"Father, there is no need to greet me. I just had something to eat at the house." Jia Ke quickly handed over his hands and said to Jia Zheng.
"In that case, just wait aside for a moment. I have something to say when you're done." Jia Zheng knew that he was well-dressed and well-fed in Wuyanghou Mansion, so he didn't persuade him much.
Jia Ke waited on the chair next to him for about half an hour before Jia Zheng finished his meal and brought Jia Zhu over.
Jia Ke quickly stood up to greet him, and then the father and son greeted each other again and sat down again.
It was Mrs. Wang's maid Caixia who came in dragging the tea tray and placed a cup of tea in front of the father and son before exiting.
"Have there been any difficulties in the government recently?" Jia Zheng asked bluntly. It seemed that he also knew that Jia Ke was currently in the government and was isolated by civil servants.
"Father, don't worry. What can happen to me? It's just some clowns who come out to act. They can't touch me at all." Jia Ke answered Jia Zheng with a smile.
Jia Zheng felt relieved, "Then you must be careful and don't take it lightly. You must know that you are the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department at a young age. I don't know how many people are waiting for you to make a mistake."
Jia Ke saw that Jia Zheng really cared about him, so he told him a story, "Father, don't worry, these people are just pawns pushed to the front by the emperor. As long as the emperor is fine, I will be as safe as a mountain."
After hearing what he said, Jia Zheng not only did not feel relieved, but became worried, "Even so, the Supreme Emperor will collapse sooner or later, and you have to consider the future. Who said Yuanchun is still in the palace, but he is not favored now, and in the future
It’s hard to tell whether you can help us.”
Jia Ke still agreed with Jia Zheng's words, but he couldn't tell Jia Zheng that he had everything ready and all he needed was Dongfeng. As soon as the Supreme Emperor died, he would no longer play this kind of cat-and-mouse game with the Emperor.
The reason why he was so forbearing was just to repay the Supreme Emperor's trust in him.
Regarding this matter, whether it is true compassion or false compassion, there is always a knot in Jia Ke's heart. The Supreme Emperor is indeed good to Jia Ke. Although there are still some doubts, as a monarch and his ministers, the Supreme Emperor has been extremely benevolent and righteous to Jia Ke.
So Jia Ke kept thinking that as long as the Supreme Emperor did not do anything to him, he would let the Supreme Emperor be a peaceful emperor until his death.
So Jia Ke quickly changed the subject and said, "I wonder what will happen if father calls me in the future?"
Jia Zheng suddenly realized something. After talking to Jia Ke about the court affairs for a while, he actually forgot about the serious business to be done today.
"I really have something to do when I wake you up. Your uncle Lin Ruhai has sent a letter, basically asking us to help his teacher, Mr. Jia Yu, with a certain position in Jia Yucun." Jia Zheng is a member of his own family, so he didn't hide anything.
"Father, what do you think of this man?"
"I look at this person. He has a round waist and thick arms, a broad face and a square mouth. He also has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and a straight cheek. He has a really good appearance. I think he must be a talented and capable person. That's why I asked you to help me.
Him." Jia Zheng still continues to admire Jia Yucun's elegant demeanor.
When Jia Ke heard what he said, he only thought that his appearance was that of a traitor, but he didn't take it to heart. I don't care what traitor you are, I will turn you into a bear as soon as I see you.
So Jia Ke said to Jia Zheng: "That's it, I will meet him at the Wuyang Marquis Mansion tomorrow afternoon. Father will inform him to go."
"This won't have any impact on you, right? After all, you have just refuted the emperor's decree, but you have to recommend the guilty minister." Jia Zheng was a little worried about Jia Ke's reputation.
"Father, don't worry. Among the people in the Military Aircraft Department, there are many recommenders. I only recommended this one, or is it a small number? How could they dare to tell this?" This is not what Jia Ke said.
It's a lie. Since the emperor issued the decree to resurrect his old ministers, several people from the Military Aircraft Department have each arranged for more than a dozen people to resurrect. These people are all the people they encircled.
Now if Jia Ke also arranges for people to be resurrected, it can also reassure them. After all, a swan suddenly appeared among a bunch of crows, and crows are still very stressed. Now that the swan has become a crow, they are naturally happy.
When Jia Zheng saw Jia Ke's generous promise, he knew Jia Ke's ability, so he no longer cared about it.
Jia Zhu, who was sitting aside, saw that the two had finished their conversation and hurriedly said to Jia Zheng: "Father, my son's health has improved quite a lot after recuperation during this period. Spring will be here soon this year. Please allow me to allow my son to participate."
Although Jia Zhu was recuperating her body during this period, she had not forgotten the imperial examination. After all, she was born in such a family. Although she said she did not care about the size of the official position, in fact, she could not let it go in her heart. Now, as a concubine, Jia Ke is already a high-ranking official.
As a minister, and as the legitimate son, he has been considered the hope of the family since he was a child, but now he is still just an official. If he wants to become an official, he will probably only be a seventh-rank sesame official, and there is not much hope of promotion in the future.
, how could Jia Zhu tolerate this.
Jia Zheng's face turned ugly after hearing what he said. Since Jia Zhu was seriously ill and almost died the last time, Jia Zheng had ordered Jia Zhu to rest in the house. At that scene, when his health had just improved, he remembered the imperial examination.
"Bastard, how long has it been since you didn't want to take your life? Even if you are so heartless, you still have to think about your parents' worries about you. Think about how much your mother has worried about you over the years.
Can you continue to make her fearful of you?"
Jia Ke was present when Jia Zhu was seriously ill and knew that Jia Zhu's body could only survive another year or two. If he took the imperial examination again at this time, he might not be able to survive even one or two years.
Now when Jia Ke heard Jia Zheng's reprimand to Jia Zhu, he felt that it was very reasonable, so he also opened his mouth to comfort Jia Zhu.
"Why are you so persistent, second brother? It's just an official matter. This time, I will take care of the matter involving Jia Yu Village. I will let you serve as county magistrate near the capital for a while. What do you think?" Jia Ke wants to come to Jia Yu Village.
Zhu longed for officialdom, so he studied hard, so he thought it would be better to follow his wish so that he could taste the joy of being an official at the end of his life.
When Jia Zheng heard this, he stared at Jia Ke and wanted to scold Jia Ke. But Mrs. Wang suddenly came out of the room and came to the father and son. She asked Jia Ke with red eyes, "Brother, what can you say?"
is true?"
Jia Ke hurriedly stood up and saluted Mrs. Wang. When he looked up at Mrs. Wang, he saw that her eyes were red and her body was trembling slightly. She thought she felt sorry for Jia Zhu and wanted him to live happily in his last years.
Jia Zheng was originally going to reprimand Jia Ke, but as soon as he saw Mrs. Wang's appearance and her words came to his lips, he felt a sense of regret, and there was also hope in his heart, hoping that once Jia Zhu was in a cheerful mood, she would be in good health.
He will slowly recover, and even if he is not as good as before, he will be able to survive for a while longer.
Jia Ke thought of Mrs. Wang's pity for her son, so she solemnly said: "Don't worry, mother, I can still do this, otherwise my position as the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department will be in vain."
Jia Zhu watched the conversation between Mrs. Wang and Jia Ke. He refused intentionally, hoping to take the imperial examination to become an official, but he also knew that his body might not be able to withstand the spring period, so he remained silent beside him.
Mrs. Wang finally had a smile on her face at this time. Her previous dissatisfaction with Jia Ke began to fade away. Although Jia Ke kept causing trouble for her regarding Aunt Zhou, thinking about it now, it was after all
As Jia Ke's biological mother, Jia Ke should take more care of him. This time, as long as Jia Ke's affairs are settled for a price, she will no longer pursue him.
Jia Ke sat there and thought about it carefully. The county magistrates near the capital have always been the most popular in the world. But if they don't have any connections, they really can't be officials here. But for him, a minister who is the foreman of military aircraft, it is just a piece of cake.
"The county magistrate of Daxing County has made quite a lot of achievements in recent years. It was already time for promotion, but it was delayed due to a turmoil last year. I will find an opportunity to transfer him. My second brother will be the county magistrate in Daxing.
, that place is only a dozen miles away from the capital, and it will only take an hour or two for the second brother to come back." Jia Ke said his method, and then looked at Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng to let them make a decision.
After hearing what Jia Ke said, Mrs. Wang's face was filled with joy. Being a magistrate in Daxing County was no different from staying in a hospital in the suburbs of Beijing. It would not delay Jia Zhu's recovery, and she could often send people to take care of her.
, there is nothing wrong with it.
This is not the best, the most important thing is that it can put Jia Zhu's worries at ease, and he will have no regrets from now on.
Mrs. Wang's face was red, but she didn't dare to keep looking at Jia Zheng with her eyes. After all, Jia Zheng was still the master of the house in this family, and she could still have the final say in small matters, such as asking men to go out to be officials.
How dare she make the decision?
Jia Zheng didn't want to agree at first, because Jia Zhu was just a civil servant. If he directly became the magistrate of Daxing County, I'm afraid someone in the court would talk about Jia Ke. But when he thought about Jia Zhu's situation in the past two years, what could he do?
I couldn't even open my mouth to refuse.
Jia Zheng sat there in silence for a while and then said: "Since you still have some ability, let your second brother finish this matter and save him from having to work hard. How can his body withstand this?"
Jia Zhu stood aside and heard his father talking about his health. He was also very ashamed. If he had not used the tiger and wolf medicine in a hurry for quick success, he would not have the results he has today. He looks good now, but in fact he knows in his heart that his body is probably bad.
It didn't work. This time I wanted to take the imperial examination, but it was just a desperate attempt. If I could succeed, I would be able to leave some shadow for my wife and children after my death.
When Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Zheng did not refuse, she couldn't wait to ask Jia Ke: "When will the official's petition arrive?"
As soon as she finished saying this, Jia Zheng angrily scolded her: "Ignorant woman, where do you think the official department is? What is supposed to come will come naturally, why don't you hurry down."
Although Mrs. Wang was reprimanded by Jia Zheng, she was not angry, but went out with a smile on her face.
