Red Chamber Fellows: You Are Not Guilty

The old Duke Jia Amnesty returned to the court after his filial piety, and directly managed the Ministry of Officials.

The courtiers complained: what kind of luck is this, how can the loyal prince become filial as soon as he returns home to recover from his illness.There are also shrewd ones: stay away from this person, and don't see that the position of the prince is on top of him.In addition, Jia Amnesty's record in the past was too tough, and the courtiers all became cautious for a while, for fear that the old Duke who is now in charge of the officials would catch something.

But one day passed, two days passed, several days passed, and the Duke of the State did not move.This is unscientific, and the other ministries are farther away, but the staff of the official ministries are right under this person's nose.Is this person so filial and self-cultivating?It doesn't look like it.

It's not the way to live like this all the time, stretching out your head and shrinking your head is also a knife. Zhao Tong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came to see Jia Amnesty in person.The two had already met when Jia She came to the Ministry, and they had a nodding friendship. Zhao Tong spoke quite freely: "The Duke is in the Ministry, but you are still used to it?"

Jia Amnesty was also very polite: "Zhao Shangshu, I have given up the title to my son, now I just call me Mr. Jia. Why be polite. I think everything in the ministry is in order. I think Zhao Shangshu and Prince Zhongshun have put in a lot of effort. .”

Even if you give up the title, it won't delay you still holding the Duke's salary, right?Everyone calls it that way, how can Zhao Tong be willing to be different: "The Duke is being polite, but it is because everyone admires the Duke and respects him from the heart."

Whatever you do, Jia Amnesty didn't care much about these things, but he didn't want people to embarrass his cheap son with this matter.Just ask: "Zhao Shangshu is here today, is there something wrong?"

Zhao Tong stated his purpose: "The Duke of the State has been in the Ministry for a while, and I don't know if there is anything to be changed in the Ministry? Besides, it is almost the end of the year, and I am afraid that the matter of the Jingcha Get ready."

Jingcha used to be a three-year practice, but this year the top officials have changed, and Zhao Tong didn't know Jia Amnesty's situation, so he couldn't make his own decisions.They are all people who have been refined for thousands of years. Can you not know what it means for the emperor to put his confidants in the ministry one after another?Ask, you must ask, it is best that the people above have their own ideas, and they can just implement them.

"It's time for the Jingchao again." Jia She sighed, "I've been filial for the past few years, so people are confused. Plus I just arrived in the Ministry, and I'm really not familiar with the Jingcha. Why don't I Zhao Shangshu found someone who is proficient in this and explained it to me."

Can Zhao Tong disagree?After a few words of politeness with Jia Amnesty, he went out and found Langzhong Chen, who had been in the Ministry of Officials for more than ten years, to give Jia Amnesty professional counseling.

After listening to the class for a few days, Jia Amnesty got a general idea.The objects of the Beijing inspection of feelings are only officials below the fifth rank.What about the fifth grade and above, don't worry about it?Could it be that if the official becomes bigger, the ideological consciousness will follow and go up?

It's just that Chen Langzhong couldn't answer this question, so he had to go with Jia Amnesty to ask Zhao Shangshu for advice.Hearing Jia Amnesty's question, Zhao Tong realized that he had done nothing for this book: "The Duke of the State sees the details and knows the details, he is really a role model for my generation."

It's just that the people in front of me are not short of flattery, so I just asked: "Zhao Shangshu, should this matter be reported? Those officials above the fifth rank have more rights than those below the fifth rank. Once they make mistakes, the loss is not the same as that of the officials below the fifth rank. Than."

Zhao Tong is in a bit of trouble, you all know that those people have a lot of power, why bother poking this hornet's nest.But I couldn't show timidity in front of this person, so I had no choice but to practice Tai Chi: "This matter is very important, why don't we play it after discussing it in our ministry, and the Duke can see it?"

Make, what can't be done.Jia Amnesty nodded, "Then I will wait to hear from Zhao Shangshu tomorrow."

Alas, it's time to go to court now, okay?Even if it is discussed immediately, this topic cannot be discussed in a short time.The result will be tomorrow, how is it possible.Just as Zhao Shangshu wanted to shirk, at least buy some time, Jia Amnesty had already gone out by himself.

As a person who participated from the beginning to the end, Chen Langzhong was bitter. Why did he just give a lecture to others, so he spread such a thing: "Master Shangshu, I really just explained to the Duke of Beijing. Observe the rules." The idea was not mine.

Zhao Shangshu knew Chen Langzhong well, he was a really timid and fearful person, so forgive him for not provoking him.Besides, this doctor himself is a fourth-rank official, so he has to be included in the assessment if he really provokes him. Isn't it against him.

"Don't worry." Zhao Shangshu comforted: "Brother, I still know a little about him. I'm afraid Ding Guogong had planned this matter a long time ago, but he took the opportunity to bring it up today." Grandpa, you can carry it yourself, we are small and weak and cannot afford it.

Regardless of whether he can bear it or not, Jia She said that he will wait for the result tomorrow.What to do, let's have a meeting.Therefore, for the first time in history, the Ministry of Officials held a meeting before the start of the Ministry of Officials in Beijing.Or has it been open until midnight, so that the people in the six departments are secretly worried, what does this official department want to do?

Jia Amnesty knew what the officials wanted to do, but he would not attend their internal meetings.He has already made up his mind, what kind of discussion did those people have, can it change his old man's decision?joke.

Besides, Xichun Xiaoding has passed these two days, and he hasn't had time to understand the situation. It's really not his style to ignore the children for business.No, after dinner, he asked directly: "Is Xichun Xiaoding's business going well?"

Mrs. Xing first expressed her satisfaction: "It was the Eldest Princess and the eldest daughter-in-law who personally came to make the decision, saying that Shen Song always grew up in front of the Eldest Princess, and they should come forward."

That is to say, the Princess Mansion still recognizes this nephew, not even an excuse has been found.Jia Amnesty is not a person who doesn't know the importance. It would be really ugly if Chen Rong's daughter-in-law really came forward.

"Xichun, in the future, be respectful to others as elders." Jia Amnesty ordered.

What Xichun said that day was to do the matter of etiquette, but it was just because she was worried that others would use it to judge her.Now they have taken the initiative to show their friendship, it seems that the relationship with Shen Song is not bad, she naturally knows the seriousness, endured the shame, and whispered yes.

Sun Yuan also said: "The wild goose that was ordered to be used was actually alive. It is said that Deputy Shi Shen personally hunted it in autumn." The joke on his face was very obvious.When autumn comes, the family has just started preparing for filial piety, and people have already prepared all the wild geese, which is an inevitable rhythm.

Xichun just hid behind Mrs. Xing, pretending not to hear.What Jia Amnesty cared about was another question: "Is Xiao Ding's stuff okay?" There are other things besides wild geese.Don't talk about using money to measure vulgarity, since it has been set, money is also an aspect of testing whether people value Xichun.

Mrs. Xing was even more satisfied: "The sex is all good. I heard that Shen Song didn't worry about it. It was all prepared for him when the eldest princess was there. But some things are new from time to time, and they changed some. .”

Being able to think about helping to prepare for the marriage, it can be seen that Princess Chaoyang really loves this grandson, and that aunt can think about replacing new things from time to time, which is considered to be responsible.Jia Amnesty nodded at Mrs. Xing: "Look, good people are rewarded. If you do your best for Yu'er, your niece will get a dedicated aunt."

Mrs. Xing praised Jia Amnesty from time to time, and now she has immunity, so she just discussed business with them: "Najib should have no problem. Once the results are sent, it's time to accept the levy."

Xichun and sister Qiao shouldn't have been present on this matter.It's just that since Cong Cong's enlightenment, Jia She has brought him around for many things.It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you know the flow of things.Neither Jia Lian nor Sun Yuan had any objection to this. Congcong was the eldest grandson, and Jia Amnesty valued him so much, which was the way the family cultivated the patriarch.

But Sister Qiao has an opinion - I'm my sister, why can't he listen to me if he can?It is the time for the queen to teach the awakening of feminist consciousness, that is called arguing with reason, and that is called being justified and not letting others.Jia Amnesty thought it was nothing, and it was useless for Sun Yuan to think it was against the rules.Anyway, Sister Qiao already knows, how far is Xichun from knowing?Why don't you listen to it together, anyway, it's Xichun's own business.

"Just accept it. Didn't her father send the silver here? After you took Mrs. Hu to clean it up for so many days, the general figure came out." Jia She was surprised that Mrs. Xing mentioned this.

Mrs. Xing looked at Xichun with some embarrassment: "Master, didn't you bring in what Shen Song gave you last time? Did you put it in someone else's betrothal gift, or in our dowry?"

What a problem.Seeing how relaxed Shen Song handed over the things that day, he was not one to worry about the dowry.That is to say, he knew that the things the eldest princess had prepared for him were enough to support his face.But Xichun's dowry is now no worse than Xing Xiuyan's. If Shen Song's things are put in, it will embarrass the head of the eldest princess's mansion.

"It's better for Xichun to keep it by himself, just treat it as a box of money." Jia She felt that he could only deal with it in this way, or he would be sorry for Shen Song's willingness to hand over his private house early, or sorry for his one-heartedness until death. The eldest princess who planned for her grandson.

Sun Yuan was so envious when he heard the reconciliation, how come the sisters-in-law of the husband's family are all so lucky, and when they meet one, they hand over their private houses, and when they meet another, it's still the same.Looking at Jia Lian again, he knows that he has money in his hands.But he's a big man, he doesn't have a private house, so he really can't reach out to his wife when something happens?

So far, Sun Yuan is no longer jealous.She understood too well that that little money was nothing compared to her status as the Duke's wife.I didn't see that my father-in-law always asks his eldest son to follow him when he has something to do. He is training his son to be the next head of the family.

Women, everything is imaginary, only the son is the most important.If the son's position is secure, then her own position is secure.A peaceful smile appeared on Sun Yuan's face.
