Red Chamber Fellows: You Are Not Guilty

I don't know what Jia Amnesty said to Zhao Tong. Everyone only found that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was full of enthusiasm, as if he wanted to rectify the administration of officials.

He has been in the official department for more than ten years, so he naturally has his own team.Fortunately, most of these people belonged to the first category of people that Jia Amnesty mentioned. Zhao Tong called everyone to his office one by one, and cursed them all without exception.Many people are not unreasonable in their hearts, after all, some things are clearly ordered by Master Shangshu.

The official rank crushes people to death, let alone a minister, scolding you is treating you as one of your own.These people comforted themselves in their hearts, and their work was not delayed, and they improved the assessment plan again.

After the treatment of the second type of people came out, those who had been scolded by Zhao Tong all wiped off their sweat. No matter how badly Master Shangshu scolded them, it was better than being demoted and transferred.You can stay in the department even if you are downgraded, even if you look a bit unsightly to your old colleagues, you can still stay in Beijing with your family.It will be miserable for those who are transferred, just look at those places, which one is not poor and bad, and if you want to return to Beijing, you can only wait for the future generations.

The two servants couldn't sit still, they asked Zhao Tong for news - what did they do that others don't know and they don't know?That day the emperor suddenly said that the officials should be assessed first, and they didn't even have time to hide.

Zhao Tong didn't like the way these two men acted arrogantly and respectfully. It turned out that even if they were giving orders to the chief official, they often used various reasons to delay, and they did many things that were obedient and obedient.Are you scared now?late!Don't even look at it, there are quite a few of them in the second category of people.

However, Zhao Tong didn't do anything to make things worse, so he had no choice but to comfort the two of them: "Thunder, rain and dew are all your grace, and the two brothers just need to wait for the result. Please don't miss the errand at hand, There are one or two things that are not right, the current errands are done well, and it can be regarded as making up for the mistakes in front of the emperor."

As for the doctor who thought he had a strong backstage, Zhao Tonglian didn't even see him—that doctor was just a relative of the eldest princess, and he acted like a tiger in the ministry.Don't even think about it, the eldest prince is now concentrating on training soldiers, so he can't care about someone who can't beat him.I heard that the empress in the palace has already reprimanded the eldest prince and concubine, why should I give this person any more face.

When the Ministry of Officials announced the criminal evidence of the left and right servants and that Langzhong to the public, there was an uproar all over the world.Shuntian Mansion and Dali Temple sued the three of them one after another, without the emperor secretly arranging manpower, and the reputation of several people has long been infamous.Everyone applauded the court's handling. Everyone said that the emperor was wise and strongly demanded that the moths of these countries be killed.

There are also people with mental activities, facing the charges of these people, after they have done what they usually do, they quietly stop, but they have really achieved the purpose of killing chickens and monkeys.Even the dandies in the city have their families restrained, and they dare not do any more evil things-lack of family management is also a crime in the assessment.

The movement in Beijing is already like this, and there are also sedan chairs and horses on the post road-it is the time for the New Year's ceremony.Everyone has a good memory this year, remembering the old relatives who have not been in touch with them so many years ago, and sent the servants of the family to give New Year gifts early.As for the fact that the post roads everywhere have been paved with concrete roads, and the travel time is more than twice as fast as before, everyone has ignored it.

Because the official department themselves tested themselves in the dark, when the remaining few departments re-assessed, there was no noise at all.The plan revised after the addition was improved a bit compared to the one used for the assessment by the Ministry of Officials. The people in the five departments all looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials with admiration: they are worthy of being soaked in officialdom for many years. The big-hearted subordinates pulled it out.

His family knew about his family affairs, so Zhao Tong asked him from Jia She: "This is your last chance, do you want to do it?" There was no way out, so he obediently became the sword in the emperor's hand.

Since Jia Amnesty took over Zhao Tong, he had very little work in the Ministry of Officials.Every morning after morning, he hid in his office to catch up on sleep, and he was not at all moved by the tense atmosphere of the officials.It's just that he is quiet, but others are thinking about whether they can walk through this path.

Those who invited wine, hosted banquets, and even invited Mrs. Xing and Sun Yuan to enjoy flowers came in endlessly.Mrs. Xing first went out to socialize for a few days, then she just pushed her uncomfortable and let Sun Yuan go out to socialize.Fortunately, Xichun's affairs are in the hands now, and Mrs. Hu often comes to discuss and talk with her, and the days are not lonely.

When Mrs. Xing told Jia She that the rituals of the family this year were several percent higher than in previous years, Jia She realized that he could be regarded as a very popular person.

"Have you returned the gifts?" Jia Amnesty asked whether his family had a university or not, regardless of why these people gave the New Year's gifts so early.

Mrs. Xing nodded and said: "I have already returned. Most of the families have changed the appearance of what they sent. The daughter-in-law has done these things properly."

That's good, just checked someone else, don't be greedy for other people's gifts in your own family.Mrs. Xing continued: "However, my daughter-in-law told me that there are a few foreign officials who have no relationship with our family, but this year they brought gifts, not to mention, those things are not like annual gifts. Because the price was too high, the daughter-in-law didn't dare to specialize. I thought, now our house doesn't lack these, so I asked my daughter-in-law to return them."

"Okay!" Jia She praised: "Madam is worthy of being the wife of the Duke of Chaopin, she has a good bearing and good knowledge!"

No matter how immune to compliments, it makes people happy when someone praises them.Mrs. Xing laughed and said, "Master is getting old, so he's good at coaxing people. I just think, now master is no better than Zhuangzi, and it's the most turbulent time. It's a point to be careful at home. Don't expect I hope it can share the master's worries, but don't hold the master back."

If Jia Amnesty thought that Mrs. Xing was transparent enough, now she thinks that she is wise and foolish.Is this insight available to ordinary people?In the original book, it is said that she is an embarrassing person.But a man who is displeased by his husband, oppressed by his mother-in-law, and run on by his sister-in-law, who can still hold the East Courtyard tightly, can choke a few times when it is really unfair, and embarrass others together, it is really hard to justify without a little wisdom.

"You think very well." Jia She once again affirmed Mrs. Xing's thoughts: "After dinner, let's talk to the children. When the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow. Now we are really a bit of a big tree."

Seeing Mrs. Xing's worried expression, she only persuaded: "Don't think about it yourself, you won't get to the step you want. After this time, Xichun is out of the cabinet, we can take it easy. Then there is time. The master said, Cong'er can already give it a try. Although he has a small title, it's better to come from a righteous career."

Mrs. Xing was still thinking about whether she should think more or less, but when she heard that Jia Cong was going to end, she forgot all about it: "He is only 12 years old, isn't it too early?"

Jia Amnesty shook his head: "It's just a Tongsheng test. He has been in the Imperial College for so long. If Mr. Shi hadn't suppressed him and we were in Xiaoli again, those people said that he could try it the year before last."

Mrs. Xing had a more concerned question: "Then should he consult in Beijing, or return to Jinling?" If he returns to Jinling, he will have to leave in a few days.Thinking of Jia Cong celebrating the New Year on the road alone, he feels distressed.

Jia Amnesty also thought about this question: "Let's ask him what he thinks. If he goes back to Jinling, I'll ask Jia Qiang to send him back. What are you worried about?"

Mrs. Xing is not so optimistic. Jia Jing is only guarding Jia Qiang now, and she looks like her eyes. Can you send people out during the Chinese New Year?Fortunately, when everyone was talking about it at night, Jia Cong just expressed his desire to go back to Jinling to take the exam, so Jia Lian suppressed it.

"You study too condescendingly. The entire Imperial College students are taking the exam in Beijing, but you go back to your ancestral home, what do people think of you? Besides, you are not directly admitted to Jinshi, but a child student." Jia Lian said disapprovingly. .

Jia Amnesty is also reluctant to let the children travel all the way - in this era, the transportation is inconvenient, the roads are unprepared, and there is no time to help at home when something happens.He nodded in agreement with Jia Lian's statement.

Seeing that Jia Cong was still talking, Jia Lian took out his brother's money to teach him: "Your parents are not far away, have you forgotten that? I know what you're thinking, and I'm afraid people will say that you took advantage of your family's influence. But Think about it, if you talk about taking advantage of the situation, is there anyone in Jinling who is bigger than our family? When they really give you a case, will you accept it or not?"

These words are very reasonable, Tongsheng Examination is not sealed, and Jia Cong's background can be known as soon as he inquires with a little heart.As long as Jia Cong doesn't turn in a blank paper, his ranking won't be too low anywhere.Seeing Jia Cong bowed his head, Jia Lian advised him: "It's good for you to be motivated, but you can't make progress for yourself, because your parents and relatives don't recognize you. We are father's sons, and we can't change this no matter where we go."

"When I first started working, why didn't you think like this? At that time, my uncle and grandfather had already told me that if I had power but didn't borrow it, that was hypocrisy and not lofty. As long as we are self-motivated, we will stand taller than others. It's human nature to be higher."

Only then did Jia Cong realize that he was thinking left, and he stood up and saluted Jia Lian respectfully: "Thank you brother for teaching me, I was wrong."

Mrs. Xing was satisfied, and Jia Amnesty nodded, "Lian'er has matured a lot, Cong'er will learn more from your brother."

This is an unprecedented comment!Jia Lian has always only let his father take care of him, but just now he was just picking up people's teeth, persuading Jia Cong with what old master Zhang and Zhang Qing had said to him that day, but his father praised him so much, his face blushed with excitement.

Speaking of which, the two were at odds. Just now, Jia She felt that Jia Lian had the appearance of an elder brother, but now he looked terrified and wanted to hit him again: "You don't have to be complacent. Your mother told me that now there are many people who have never been in touch with each other. People have sent New Year gifts to the family, and asked your wife to return it. This will be done in the future. But you, be careful when socializing abroad, and don’t get confused again.”

Jia Lian called Chuang Tianqu: "Father will also ask the door. I have never gone out to socialize these days. How many people have weddings and funerals, or their daughter-in-law goes, or they are too polite. I go back to the mansion directly from the Yamen every day at a good time."
