Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Old Man Wen is the third direct son of the current literary saint, so he has nothing to say in literary matters.

His talent and moral character are all excellent, but because his personality was not suitable for the times, he had a falling out with the elder brother of the family, so he left the family and went out to work alone.

Previously, Governor Li's family hired him to educate their precious son because of his reputation. However, old man Wen still refused to change his temper and disgusted the upright and strict young Master Li.

Therefore, after he met Baoyu, he thought he had a similar temperament and came to Jia Zheng's place with his own luggage.

It happened that Jia Zheng's inner court management was very relaxed, so Old Man Wen took Baoyu's hand and came in grandly.

Because he didn't like young Master Li, he also disliked Jia Zheng and Li Shouyi. He only dotes on Baoyu, thinking that Baoyu is an extraordinary talent and is worthy of talking to him.

He scolded Jia Zheng, and then reluctantly took Li Shouyi away to teach him together.

Baoyu was very happy, now he really had a classmate studying with him.

Li Shouyi was also a smart kid, and within a few days he impressed Old Man Wen. Determined to teach Li Shouyi and Baoyu, they will occupy the top spot in a few years.

Jia Zheng also received work follow-up.

Song He was indeed very lucky, and was sent to the capital in the name of being extremely loyal to the Mu Dynasty.

The emperor also sent people to investigate the major case he mentioned.

This matter also received the support of the Supreme Emperor, so he acted more vigorously and resolutely.

What Jia Zheng asked Song He to arrange was just his experience in several lifetimes.

As the saying goes, when you find a rat, you've got an infestation.

If the Mu Dynasty were to perish, places near Kyoto would surely have faced a storm.

He guessed this very correctly. The three imperial ministers sent by the two emperors were more powerful than Jia Zheng.

They not only plowed the land of Lu, but also explored the vicinity of the land.

Following this trend, a large number of officials were dismissed, and many talents who had been suppressed for many years were brought out.

Even Lin Ruhai took advantage of this opportunity to leave the mountain in advance and became the salt patrol censor.

Although the emperor later used the excuse that the New Year was approaching and he should not kill people on a large scale, many people were still beheaded and their homes were ransacked.

This matter was handled secretly and quickly. Even Jia Zheng, who was in the eye of the storm, could not know the whole story.

But in this matter, the shadow of alien races was indeed detected, and it was from more than one country.

After Old Man Wen knew that Jia Zheng was involved in this matter, he no longer looked at Jia Zheng as if he were a fool, and his tone of voice became much gentler.

"For Baoyu's sake, I advise you to find an excuse to leave Lu Di as soon as possible. Otherwise, those people will react and find trouble for you!"

Old Man Wen said while stroking his beard. Regardless of whether Jia Zheng made a mistake or was a master of calculations, if so many people's plans failed, they would definitely find fault with Jia Zheng.

"It's not that serious, right?"

Jia Zheng is still pretending to be stupid. Didn't he just reveal the gold mines invaded by foreign tribes to the emperor? It's not that serious, right?

Isn't it just to cut off the tentacles extended by the neighboring countries such as the Dwarf? The key point is that he didn't bring this up. Wasn't it reported by Song He?

Now that Song He has been made a general based on his merits, Jia Zheng, the man behind the scenes, has gained nothing. It is impossible for the bad guys to find out, right?

"Hmph! Don't treat everyone else as a fool! My fourth brother has suffered a lot from you and is looking for his second brother to investigate the matter!"

Now Jia Zheng didn't dare to pretend to be innocent. Old Man Wen's brother Wen Lao'er is the local coward.

Now, with the emperor's help, Lu Di has been firmly controlled. Even King Lu and Governor Li will treat him with caution.

Seeing Jia Zhengzhen's sad face, Old Man Wen rolled his eyes and said:

"Didn't the emperor assign your brother-in-law to be in charge of the salt administration of the Huaihe River? Why not just ask the emperor directly for the job of dredging the canal!"

He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, looked at the sky and muttered in a low voice:

"The rivers in the Lu region have all been improved. If we don't leave, do we want to take all the credit? We won't leave anything for the new officials to catch some dregs to eat. It's stingy!"

Jia Zheng was speechless.

The emperor was indeed interested in his equipment for building river embankments, but only more than half of the major project was completed. Jia Zheng is always worried if he doesn't leave any finishing touches.

But he was indeed afraid of the revenge of the Aiwa Kingdom. This guy is always playing dirty tricks. It's not worth it to lose his life here.

Now that he was leaving, Jia Zheng began to deal with the aftermath. After his certificate was published, the dizzy and busy emperor did not forget about him, and directly sealed his position as a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, granting his request.

When Jia Zheng dragged his family away, something seemed more and more wrong.

His official position of Yuanwailang was conferred by the Supreme Emperor. At that time, he was already the head of the Ministry of Industry and a fifth-rank Beijing official.

Now after these hard months, the emperor has re-canonized him, and he has become a doctor, but he is still a fifth-rank official.

So why is he bothering with this?

Jia Zheng was dissatisfied.

In the cabin, Li Shouyi was playing chess with Old Man Wen nearby, while Lian Lian and Ai Ai were embroidering around Aunt Zhou in the distance.

Well, I didn’t get promoted after a business trip, and I got a few more mouths.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

Baoyu observed the words and expressions and brought tea to express his filial piety to his old father.

"Daddy, is he homesick too? Then why don't we go home?"

"Because the black-hearted boss didn't ask us to come back!"

Jia Zheng held Baoyu and wanted to cry.

This emperor is really stingy. He might as well have rewarded Jia Daishan as an official because of his dignity! And now that the Spring Festival is coming, the black-hearted dog emperor even asks him to work overtime, so he can’t go back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year!

"Dad, thank you for your hard work. But we can go to see my aunt on behalf of my grandmother. She must be very happy. We are happier if we can see more relatives we haven't seen for a long time, right? My sisters and I have never been so far away. Now my father wants to Isn’t it the best thing to see my aunt?”

Baoyu patted Jia Zheng on the back, which made him very happy. Although he also misses his grandmother, mother, sisters and brothers, being out with his father and meeting so many interesting people is much more interesting than being stuck at home.

Jia Zheng felt warm in his heart when he saw his son giggling. Baoyu's growth is faster than in previous years.

Maybe it was because they were away from home and the two of them depended on each other for life, and their relationship became deeper.

Baoyu no longer has a paranoid dislike of men, and his character has become more lively and cheerful.

This is what Jia Zheng would rather see.

And he was also looking forward to what Bao Dai would be like when he went to Yangzhou to meet her.

"Master? Is this the ship of Mr. Jia's family in front?"

Suddenly, Jia Zheng heard the voice of a familiar person in the distance. He looked up and saw a boat approaching Jia Zheng's boat in the distance.

But no one around has noticed it yet. It wasn't until the boat got closer that the crew members flagged down and learned that the other side was also the Jia family's boat.

But this ship came from Jinling.

The person who just called Mr. Jia Zheng was Qian Hua who was sent to his hometown by Jia Zheng. When the two ships passed by each other, Jia Zheng could still see him in tears from a distance.

What's going on here? Crying so hard?
