Unlike the original work, this time, I am very generous now, so I asked Yuanchun to stay in the nearby courtyard for one night and wait until I return to the palace the next day.
The Rong Mansion and his party left the palace in the early morning, where they were surrounded by guards from the palace and palace people.
Jia Cong planned to leave directly, but was pulled by Lian Er and had something to say.
As for the old lady, the second wife and others, they went their separate ways with the big room and the group, laughing and laughing, and being energetic.
"What are you doing? How can you say those words in front of the Empress?"
When they returned to the yard of the General's Mansion, the main hall was still brightly lit. The master and the eldest wife went back to the room to rest, but they didn't have the energy to stay up late.
Lian Er pulled Jia Cong down and asked Wang Xifeng to prepare some food and drinks. The two brothers drank at the table and started to complain.
"What do you say if you don't say this?"
Jia Cong said calmly: "Brother Lian, what do you think Empress wants to hear?"
Lian Er hesitated and said uncertainly: "It should be the family harmony and prosperity!"
"Is the Rong Mansion considered the family harmonious?"
"This, at least the surface relationship is pretty good!"
"Then is the Rong Mansion prosperous and prosperous?"
"It should be, let's get some touch!"
The more he said, the more guilty Lian Er felt. At this time, Wang Xifeng and Ping'er came over with a few plates of side dishes, sat down next to him, and curiously said: "What are you two brothers saying?"
Jia Cong chuckled and said again what he had just said.
"Third brother, what do you think of the Empress?"
Wang Xifeng had a pair of phoenix eyebrows and asked back, "Do you know?"
"I must have guessed a little!"
Jia Cong was not polite either. He stuffed some side dishes into his mouth, swallowed it, and said leisurely: "The Empress should want to know the real power in the mansion!"
That's what he did, and he talked about some of the things he did about building a provincial villa. The key point was to join the work of a group of outstanding younger brothers following the special channels of the Ministry of Works.
Although he was separated by the pearl curtain at that time, Jia Cong was still keenly aware that Yuanchun was in a good mood.
This is the real power she wants to know!
"A few ninth-rank officials, can the Empress still value this?"
Wang Xifeng sneered: "You can't tell the palace servants around you to disdain!"
hehe……
Another person who likes to play with the glamorous appearance, what kind of scenery is as dazzling as the palace?
"Brother Lian, what do you think?"
Jia Cong didn't comment and directly threw the problem to Lian Er.
"What my third brother means is that the Empress would rather see that our Jia clan's strength in the court is getting stronger and stronger?"
Lian Er reacted and said in a deep voice: "In other words, the Empress needs the support of the external power?"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"What nonsense is it? How could the Empress need the support of the power of the foreign court?"
Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes and sneered: "With my uncle, the power of the outer court is not bad!"
"It's a pity that Lord Wang is patrolling the Jiubian, and I don't know when I will be able to come back!"
Jia Cong was not polite, and said leisurely: "The so-called distant water cannot quench the near thirst. I believe that the second sister-in-law should have some understanding of the Empress. Without a son and half of her daughter and without the attention she has today, how can life be too easy?"
Wang Xifeng's face looked a little ugly, but Jia Cong's words were reasonable, and she was not easy to mess around.
"Third brother, aren't you afraid of being listened to by the palace servants around you?"
At this time, Lian Er suddenly spoke in a deep voice: "If they say what they said to the present after returning to the palace..."
"So what? What I did is open and honest. Now that I know, will I deliberately target a few ninth-rank small officials of the Ministry of Works?"
"I'm afraid I'll have a bad impression!"
"It doesn't matter. As long as we are strong and have not taken any special actions, even if we are dissatisfied today, we will be helpless!"
"You've said something a little bit!"
"I don't say secret words in front of Mingren. Now that Na Yuanchun's sister is still holding the concubine in one breath, she is not at all kind-hearted!"
"But that's the emperor after all!"
“…”
Wang Xifeng sat aside with her eyes wide open, shocked for a long time and couldn't speak.
It is said that she is brave, but today she knows what is truly bold.
What she heard, whether it was Lian Er or Jia Cong, the two brothers had no awe in their tone when they talked about it now.
What, did she hear it wrong? Jia Cong actually said that Yuanchun was named a concubine because he was now doing it with bad intentions?
Lian Er still looked like he was deeply convinced. What did this guy hide himself?
The rare thing is that Wang Xifeng, who has always been strong, did not get angry immediately. She wanted to know everything, but listened quietly to the conversation between the two brothers.
Jia Cong laughed and said, "No matter what your thoughts are now, since we have given the name and the opportunity, we cannot let it go!"
Lian Er said curiously: "The third brother means to quickly promote your group of brothers who are stuffed into the Ministry of Works, Shuntian Prefecture and the Five City Military and Ma Si?"
"good!"
Jia Cong said bluntly: "If they can all become real officials of the seventh or even sixth grade within a few years, this is a powerful force!"
Lian Er's eyes flashed and he asked directly: "What about me?"
"It must be a third-rank official!"
Jia Cong turned the railway decisively: "How can Brother Lian's subordinates not be able to shake the flag and shout?"
Lian Er smiled happily and said with satisfaction: "It's so good!"
After sweeping away a few plates of side dishes, Jia Cong patted his butt and went to the guest room to rest. Wang Xifeng here did not mean to let Lian Er go, so he had to explain it clearly.
"What's there to say?"
Lian Er rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I have been awarded the concubine for more than a year, but look at me, I still have the official position of the Second Master, and there is no movement at all. Can't I explain the problem?"
Wang Xifeng was stunned and said dissatisfied: "There are many unsatisfactory families of concubines in the palace!"
"They jumped up from their white body as a reward, but the second master and I are both real officials in the capital!"
Lian Er sneer said, "The Second Master, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, can be ignored, but my position as the Chief of Shuntian Mansion is a real and important position, and his performance has not been bad in recent years. If the Empress is really valued, at least she will be mixed.
He has become a third-rank official.”
"In other words, the Empress has little effect on your promotion of your official position?"
Wang Xifeng's face changed slightly, and she also felt less respectful when she mentioned the word "Empress".
"That won't be!"
Lian Er shook his head and said, "If you have the chance, others want to pour sewage on me, and you can also consider the consequences!"
“So what?”
"When I become a third-rank official, it will be of great help to the Empress. Nowadays, I will give me face and look up to the Empress. At that time, if I contact you more, I will have a greater say. This is the so-called internal and external alliance!"
"That means, the Empress's situation is not very good at the moment?"
"That's also the palace concubine. You're still more respectful. If the empress notices it, she may not be able to succeed, but bad things are easy to get nervous. Don't make trouble for me!"
"Am I that kind of person?"
"So, my third brother can see clearly. Fortunately, this time he reminded me so that he would not think that with the protection of the empress, he could do whatever he wanted!"
"What a pity, I thought that if there was an empress in the palace, the mansion would flourish again. I didn't expect there were so many tricks inside!"
"The blacksmith must be strong himself. In front of the empress, she can only serve as a deterrent to the last moment, and now she depends on herself!"
“…”
Obviously, many people in the mansion did not sleep well this night, or were so excited that they couldn't sleep, so naturally not including Jia Cong.
He got up early and practiced martial arts in the open space in front of the general's mansion. Then he had a sumptuous breakfast with the master and Lian Er, and then patted his butt and left.
As for the eldest wife and Wang Xifeng, they were served by Rongqingtang early in the morning.
The next thing to accompany Emperor Yuanchun was naturally not Jia Cong, and he was happy to go home directly.
However, at the gate of Rong Mansion, I met the Taoist monk dressed in a guard.
This time, he stopped and asked directly: "What do you call me?"
Chen Gongfeng was obviously a little nervous. A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes that were covered with blood because he had not had enough sleep. He spoke slowly: "I am the only one who is Chen!"
"So it's Master Chen, I don't know where to practice?"
Jia Cong became interested, so he simply spoke in the doorman and said curiously: "I met a lame Taoist before. His cultivation may be higher than that of the Taoist priest, but his aura is not as pure as that of the Taoist priest!"
"I was born in Maoshan!"
Chen Gongfeng smiled and said, "I wonder what the young master is doing?"
As for the lame Taoist in Jia Cong's mouth, he had no interest in knowing it at all. He was very particular and despised the attitude of a wandering monk.
"Have the Taoist priest practiced the spiritual magic?"
Jia Cong was not polite either. There was no one else in the gatehouse and said bluntly: "I felt an inexplicable aura from the Taoist priest!"
"Psychic art?"
Chen Gongfeng's face looked a little ugly and said angrily: "What I practice is the authentic Xuanmen method, not a 'spiritual art'!"
If he hadn't been interested in Jia Cong, a guy with the luck of a white tiger, and was very rude to this guy, it would have been enough to ask him to teach him a lesson.
How can Xuanmen be offended?
"Sorry, sorry, I don't understand some taboos in Taoist sect. If you say the wrong thing, please don't be surprised!"
Jia Cong quickly apologized, with a very sincere attitude and no intention of showing off his strength.
The so-called "to stretch out your hand and not hit people with a smile" is that since Jia Cong has sincerely apologized, Chen Gongfeng has no intention of holding on to him, so he has no need to underestimate him.
However, he didn't say anything, signaling Jia Cong to say anything.
"I am very interested in the Taoist practice method. I wonder if I can teach you one or two?"
Jia Cong was really straightforward, without any embarrassment, and directly explained his thoughts.
You are too direct!
Chen Gongfeng was speechless for a moment, and soon reacted and smiled and said, "Young Master Jia, you want to join Maoshan..."
