Besides, Jia Yucun was waiting for the news of the vacancy in Beijing. After only waiting for a few days, the documents from the Ministry of Civil Affairs came down, appointing Jia Yucun as the prefect of Jinling. This was a huge and fat vacancy. Jia Yucun himself did not expect that he would get such a vacancy.
Position. I thought it would be good to be the chief official in an ordinary state or county, but I didn't expect Jia Ke to have such energy.
A few days later, Jia Yucun visited Jia Ke again, and Jia Ke received him in the study outside.
As soon as Jia Yucun saw Jia Ke, he bowed down and worshiped him, saying, "Jia Yucun, please bow down to see me be kind to you."
Jia Ke took the upper hand and was not as polite as last time. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "I don't have to be so polite. Please sit down aside."
After receiving Jia Ke's instructions, Jia Yucun dared to sit down carefully on a chair nearby.
"When you go to Jinling this time, what should you do or what? Don't take me into consideration." Jia Ke was not polite to him and directly gave him instructions.
As soon as Jia Yucun heard Jia Ke's instructions, he quickly stood up and bowed to listen. If there were other people here, they would have found this scene a bit strange. Although Jia Yucun begged Jia Ke to do something, and he was Jia Ke's subordinate, it was not
As for being so careful.
Jia Ke seemed to be respectful to Jia Yucun from above, and then told him: "When you get to Jinling, go ahead and do it. I will take charge of the court for you."
Jia Yucun stood below and thanked him repeatedly. After that, everyone chatted for a while, and Jia Ke served tea to see the guests off. When Jia Yucun was about to leave the study door, Jia Ke suddenly added, "You go to Rong."
On the other side of the country, I would like to thank my father. It will give me an excuse to move around in the future."
Jia Yucun quickly turned around and responded.
During the next few days that Jia Yucun stayed in the capital, he visited Jia Zheng almost every day. Various compliments were sent non-stop, which made Jia Zheng pay more attention to Jia Yucun, and Jia Yucun even sent double posts to him.
The two families have joined the clan and will move around as relatives in the future.
Jia Zheng even talked to Jia Ke several times, asking him to take more care of Jia Yucun in the future. He said that since he was already a member of the Lian clan, he would become his own family in the future, so it was appropriate to take more care of him.
Jia Ke naturally agreed at that time, but in fact, Jia Zheng did not need to give orders. Now Jia Yucun is considered a figure in Jia Ke's entourage.
After Jia Yucun had been entrenched with Jia Zheng for some time, seeing that the arrival time required by the Ministry of Officials was getting closer, he did not dare to delay any longer. So he found a time to say goodbye to Jia Ke and Jia Zheng, and took his servants with him.
He went to Jinling to take office.
Jia Yucun's journey south can be said to be high-spirited. When he came to the capital, he was just a dismissed criminal official and could only make a living as a teacher. When he left, he was already a fifth-grade prefect of Jinling.
When Jia Yucun took an official boat and sailed south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to Yangzhou, he stopped the boat. When he arrived in Yangzhou, he had to pay a visit to his original employer, Lin Ruhai.
Jia Yucun got off the boat at the pier and ordered his servant to rent a sedan. Then he took the sedan to Lin Ruhaide's mansion in Yangzhou.
The servant at the gate naturally recognized Jia Yucun. When he saw him coming, he hurried forward and asked: "Sir, are you sending the lady back?"
Jia Yucun understood that this servant did not know his true intention of going to the capital this time. So he did not blame him and just said with a smile: "I am back. I want to see you. You go in and inform me."
"Who are you, sir? If you need help, just go in." The servant thought Jia Yucun was still a servant of the teacher.
But Jia Yucun couldn't do this. Although he had been a teacher in Ning Ruhai's house before, and it was because of his recommendation that he became what he is today, but after all, he was already the prefect of Jinling, an official of the imperial court. How could he enter Lin Ruhai's inner house casually.
"You'd better go in and report." After Jia Yucun finished speaking, he took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, about one or two pounds, and delivered it to the servant's hands.
The servant at this gate also often accepted courtesy, and now he was a little surprised to receive money from Jia Yucun. This Jia Yucun gave money according to the old calendar of the officials who came to visit the master.
The servant looked up at Jia Yucun in surprise, and then said respectfully: "You can't see Mount Tai, it turns out that Mr. Jia has been promoted. Please wait here for a moment, I will go in and report to the master."
He hurriedly ran inside.
After a while, Lin Ruhai came out with a few servants.
When Lin Ruhai saw Jia Yucun, he smiled and said: "We haven't seen each other for a few months, and now I see my husband with a happy face. I guess all my wishes have come true."
As soon as Jia Yucun saw Lin Ruhai, he quickly took a few steps forward, bowed to the ground, and then said respectfully: "I would like to thank you for your recommendation. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Lin Ruhai stepped forward to support Jia Yucun, "Don't say that now. Since you are back, let's talk inside."
After that, the two held hands and entered the mansion, and then came to Lin Ruhai's study. After that, the guests and hosts took their seats, and then the maid served fragrant tea.
"Sir, is everything going well this time?" Although Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Yucun and knew that it must have been successful this time, he still had to ask. After all, he had written the letter, and he didn't know where Jia's family was.
What position should he be assigned to?
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for asking me. This time, I am recommended by Your Majesty, and Prime Minister Jia Enxiang has taken great care of me. He has appointed me as the prefect of Jinling. This time, I passed by Yangzhou on the way to take office and came to visit Your Excellency."
Lin Ruhai was also surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that Jia Ke had such power to directly appoint a criminal as the prefect of Jinling. However, he didn't dare to ask the detailed reason and just said with a smile: "That's it.
, I wonder how it will be on the road to the capital this time? How will you get used to living in the capital?"
What Lin Ruhai is most concerned about now is Lin Daiyu's situation in the capital. It is difficult for him to write a letter and ask directly, so this time Jia Yucun came to let him know some of the things he wanted to know.
"Please rest assured, Sir, that the journey with the young master was safe and nothing happened. After arriving at Rongguo Mansion, the old lady of Rongguo Mansion also loved the young master very much. Now the female young master is living in the old lady's room, with the young master of Rongguo Mansion.
There is only a wall between the third master and the two of them are as good as one person." Jia Yucun then briefly described the situation in Rongguo Mansion during this period to Lin Ruhai. Especially the situation of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, after he left the capital
At that time, Jia Ke specifically asked to explain to Lin Ruhai in detail. He was afraid that Lin Ruhai would not know the situation, and finally asked the Jia family to stay and scold you.
Lin Ruhai frowned after hearing this, thinking that the old lady was a little confused and didn't know how to protect men and women.
But when I thought more deeply, I understood the old lady's painstaking efforts. This old lady wanted to arrange a marriage between Daiyu and Baoyu in their family.
Lin Ruhai thought about it in her mind and felt that this marriage can still be done. The Rongguo Mansion is very prominent now, but Jia Ke's position will be unstable in the future, but there is still a queen in the palace, so there won't be much turmoil. If Dai
It is a good thing that Jade can marry Baoyu, and he can also solve a personal problem.
So Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded without any other rebuttal, and then the two of them talked about some official matters.
Lin Ruhai kept Jia Yucun to live in Ning Mansion for another day. Jia Yucun left on the second day and continued on to Jinling by Guanzhou.
On this day, Jia Ke came back from the military aircraft department. As soon as he returned to Qin Keqing's room in the inner house, he saw a little boy in the room. He had beautiful features, pink face and red lips, and a somewhat romantic manner.
Jia Ke looked very familiar. On the wedding day, Qin Keqing's brother Qin Zhong blocked the door.
This Qin Zhong is a famous ruthless and unjust person in Dream of Red Mansions. Jia Ke originally didn't want to talk to him, so he didn't mention Qin Zhong during the time he lived with Qin Keqing. As time went by, he forgot about this person and never thought about it.
Saw it at home today.
Although Jia Ke didn't like him, for Qin Keqing's sake, he didn't show it. Instead, he smiled and said to him: "Brother-in-law is here. Since he is here, please stay at home for a few more days. Your sister is not a good person during this period."
I often nag you."
Qin Zhong was a little afraid of Jia Ke, lowered his head, blushed, and said shyly: "Thank you brother-in-law for asking. Everything is fine at home. My old father asked me to send a message to say hello to brother-in-law."
Qin Keqing came forward to pack Jia Ke's clothes and put them into casual clothes at home. He said to Jia Ke: "I have something to ask you today. My brother's teacher has resigned from school. Now there is no one to look after him while he is studying at home. I heard
He said that there is a private school in our house, and those of the same clan who cannot be transferred to the school can study in the private school, and relatives and children can also study at the private school. So please tell me and ask my brother to come and study at the same time."
When Jia Ke heard Qin Keqing's request, he smiled and said, "I still need to say something about such a trivial matter. Grandma asked someone to send it to me. How dare they say no?"
Qin Keqing shyly hit Jia Ke, and then said: "After all, this is a place where men study. It's not good for me, a woman, to interfere."
"It's okay to let him go, but you have to think clearly. Although the gentleman who sits in our family's private school is a long-time Confucian scholar, he is already old and may not have the energy as before." Jia Ke did not say clearly.
The private school in Jia Mansion was not good, but he just gave Qin Keqing a thumbs up.
Qin Keqing did not carefully appreciate the meaning of Jia Ke's words, and said with a smile: "Since he is an old Confucian, I think it is good, so let him study for a while first."
Jia Ke saw that Qin Keqing had made his decision and that I had done my best, so he no longer refuted it. If there was a chance in the future, he would hire a famous teacher for him. So he said to Qin Keqing: "Tomorrow, take my post and send someone to do it."
Just send Qin Zhong to the private school."
When Qin Keqing heard that Jia Ke agreed, he immediately beamed and pulled Qin Zhong over to salute him. It seemed that Qin Keqing still had a good feeling for Qin Zhong. Even so, Jia Ke had to live up to his superficial skills.
"Qin Zhong goes to school in our house. I'm afraid it will be too tiring to go back to our house after school. Besides, I don't think his health is very good. Why don't we clean up a house for him in our house and let him live here?
That's it." Jia Ke pulled up Qin Zhong, touched his head, and then said to Qin Keqing.
Qin Keqing was naturally happy to hear this, "Then I'll thank you for being here." Qin Keqing smiled and said Tong Jiake coquettishly, with infinite charm on her face as she spoke.
Next, Qin Keqing was very happy. While letting his servants prepare dinner, he ordered his personal maid Ruizhu to find a small courtyard with exquisite architecture and decoration for Qin Zhong in the Wuyang Hou Mansion close to the main courtyard, and then immediately
He ordered the maid to go and clean it up. Qin Zhong could move from the guest room into this small courtyard within a day or two.
