The Red Chamber: Jia She Xiuxian Ji

The end of the new year is approaching, and many officials of the third rank and above who have served in faraway places have all returned to Beijing to report their duties with their families.

Regardless of the fact that these people are all officials in the borderlands, compared with the officials in Beijing, they are far away from the emperor and the political center. If they want to express themselves in front of the emperor, they will not find a chance.

In the past, the emperor could still say good things on Qin Zhe, pat on the dragon's fart, check his favorability from time to time, and maintain the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

Emperor Xingning was different from the previous ones. Not long after he ascended the throne, Emperor Xingning issued a clear decree that he could only report matters related to official affairs in the memorial, and he was not allowed to see any flattering words!

After sternly catching a few early-stage criminals who knowingly committed crimes, no one dared to commit crimes against the wind.Since then, returning to Beijing to report on work at the end of each year is an opportunity to gain favor in front of the emperor.

At this time, these people have to do everything possible to return to the capital, even if they can't show their presence in front of Emperor Xingning, it is always necessary to get in touch with friends, classmates, same year, and fellow villagers in the capital. If something is missing, it's good to have someone who can remind them.

It would be even better if he could establish a good relationship with several adults who are Jane in the heart of the emperor.

It would be worthwhile if any adult could mention their names in front of Emperor Xingning after their term of office expired.

Therefore, during this time of year, Rongguo Mansion and Ninghou Mansion are full of people coming and going, and there is an endless stream of people giving gifts to take favors.

Especially the Rongguo Mansion, where not only the Duke of Rongguo, but also a powerful Prince Zhongrui lived in this mansion. As long as one of them is successfully captured, the other will be supported. Money, get two benefits!Who would not want to do this kind of double benefit?

This also resulted in an endless stream of guests in front of the Rongguo Mansion.

The threshold is about to be trampled.

So many people came to Rongguo Mansion, except for a few people who couldn't be avoided, Jia She didn't see any one.

"Master, the eldest master of the Zhen family handed over a greeting card, saying that tomorrow he will visit the master and prince at the mansion." Lin Zhixiao held up a gold-painted greeting card and handed it forward.

Jia She raised his eyebrows and didn't accept the invitation, but asked puzzledly: "Didn't they all go to Zhongsu Palace and Zhongzhong Palace when they came to Beijing? When they came to Rongguo Palace, they also went to Rongqing Palace. The hall and the second room are looking for the old lady and the second son of the government. In the past two years, I haven’t even set foot on Ningrong Street. Why do you think of us today? Is this the sun coming out from the west?”

Ever since the Shi family and the Wang family lost their housekeeping rights and the other was sent to the Jia family temple, the relationship between the Zhen family and the Jia family has weakened.

I heard before that the wife of the Zhen family, Mrs. Fengsheng, said that Jia Amnesty was not filial to her biological mother, not friendly to her younger brother, and not a person to be close friends with. This made Zhen Yingjia alienated from the Rongguo Mansion, and instead shared a room with Jia Zheng. The relationship is getting closer.

In the past few years, he has been very close to them, even the relationship with Prince Zhongsu's mansion is also close.

Jia Amnesty is happy to see the success of this, the old lady of the Zhen family is very kind to the Supreme Emperor, and the Supreme Emperor is willing to support her, and even loves the house and black. He has a lot of preference for the Zhen family, but Emperor Xingning does not buy it for their family.

The Fengsheng lady is still alive, Emperor Xingning thought of the other party's kindness, turned a blind eye to what the Zhen family did, and ignored them, if the Zhen family had eyesight, seize it The transfer of power between the old and new emperors really turned to Emperor Xingning, and perhaps Emperor Xingning would spare them.

However, the Zhen family was too confident in themselves, took Emperor Xingning's kindness and tolerance towards them for granted, and still went their own way in certain things. I don't like it. Is this a sudden enlightenment today?

Tu Yu said: "Qian'er's secret team received the news that Mrs. Feng Sheng of the Zhen family is seriously ill. I'm afraid it will be very bad this time."

Jia She suddenly realized, it's no wonder, the backing is about to fall, and he can't stand up, so he can't shake anymore?

"So, did they come here with some other intentions this time?"

Tu Yu nodded: "The Zhen family produces beauties, this can be seen from Concubine Zhen, can't it?" He stopped.

Jia Amnesty raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Then who are they going to marry the girl from the Zhen family this time?"

Tu Yu said: "This time Mrs. Zhen Yingjia brought three girls from the Zhen family. According to the secret information, one of them is Zhen Yingjia's first daughter. Known as a beauty, she happens to be about the same age as her nephew Jinzhi.

The second one is a girl from the side branch of Zhen's family, who should be aiming at Jia Rong's seat in the house.The last one is the daughter of Brother Zhen Yingjia, who is also a child born on the same day. She is only 13 years old this year, and next year will be the year of the general election. That child will participate in the draft. "

"Tsk, I'm so surprised. In the world of Red Mansions, not only the girls of the Jia family are better than the boys, but also the other families. The boys in their family are all dead. One by one, they are all better than the boys." Putting the prosperity of the family on the bodies of a few girls is shameful!"

Tu Yu said: "It's been too long, and the descendants are not filial. They only know to lie on the merits of their ancestors and wait to die. Don't expect the girls to marry a good husband to help the family, so what?"

He glanced at Jia She, and said bluntly: "If it wasn't for Master's appearance, wouldn't it be time for you to sell your daughter now?"

Jia She only felt a pain in his heart, it pierced his heart!

The Zhen family and the Jia family are old relatives, even if they don't want to see the Zhen family anymore, they still have to meet in person, this is something Jia Amnesty can't escape, and neither can he.

The next day, Zhen Yingjia brought his wife, eldest son and three girls to Rongguo Mansion.

There is no hostess in Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Amnesty does not intend to let them go to see Mrs. Shi.Anyway, Daqi knew that Jia She didn't love beautiful women and Lanyan. For so many years, he had been a guest in Rongguo Mansion and Prince Zhongrui's wife. Everyone was used to it. A bunch of people gathered in the flower hall, which was easy.

To show how much they valued Zhen's family, Jia Fu and Tu Yu also accompanied him in the Rongguo Mansion, which was a great honor to Zhen Yingjia.

Zhen Yingjia naturally knew the sincerity shown by the three of them personally carrying out his actions, and she was very pleased with herself, but she didn't show it on the surface.

Zhen Yingjia really came to ask Jia She to be a matchmaker.

"My daughter and niece are both outstanding in appearance, and they are worthy of being the head of the family. In order to teach them well in the early years, I also asked two empress dowagers from the imperial concubine to teach them A few days ago, I met Mr. Lin, who was indeed a handsome, handsome and talented gentleman. At that time, we had just entered Beijing from Jinling, and my daughter saw her from afar. Since then, she has been out of her mind. Although she is so It's against the rules, after all, it's a child I've raised for more than ten years, but I couldn't bear to see her trapped in love. "

It has been many days since Zhen Yingjia arrived in the capital, and what he said was not a lie. Before that, he never thought of asking Jia She to come here. After all, Lin Ruhai is the brother-in-law of Jia She and Jia Zheng, and Jia is not the only one who can be a matchmaker. Forgive someone.

In addition to Jia Zheng, there is also Shi Shi, who is Lin Ruhai's serious mother-in-law, who is there, Lin Ruhai just agrees to this marriage, if he doesn't want to agree, he has to agree.

Although he knew that Jia Amnesty had a bad relationship with Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and others, he didn't take it seriously.One is the biological mother, and the other is the younger brother, how could the difference be so bad?

It is also these years that the Zhen family has been preferring Jinling. In Jinling, they are their local emperors, and they don't pay much attention to some trends in the capital. Thinking about the mother-son and brotherhood between Jia She and Jia's mother Jia Zheng, but I don't know how wrong it is.

So, at that time, he went directly to Jia Zheng. After several contacts with Jia Zheng, Zhen Yingjia finally realized: Jia Zheng is just a younger brother in the eyes of the Jia and Lin families!

Seeing that more and more people came to the Lin family to propose marriage, and because he is the head of the Zhen family, he has long lost the trust of Emperor Xingning. When Lin Ruhai was in Yangzhou as the patrolling censor, he even had an enmity with the other party. , even Jia Min's death is due to him, but now he wants to go to the Lin family to propose marriage, but there is no way out, so he can only pinch his nose, bring generous gifts, and obediently set foot on Jia She, who has always been against him. The gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Amnesty glanced at the three shy little girls sitting under Mrs. Zhen.

Seeing that the leader was sitting upright, with a pretty face, and a very dignified and elegant appearance, his appearance was indeed outstanding, with a bit of the shadow of Concubine Zhen when she was young, but she was too gorgeous.

This kind of appearance is not a candidate for a daughter-in-law that the mistress of a big family would like.She was born with a normal appearance, but with a pretty face, she tried her best to look dignified, which was a bit nondescript.

Moreover, Jia Amnesty was very sure and certain that Miss Zhen would definitely not be the type that Lin Jin would like.

He shook his head and laughed: "If Ruhai hadn't returned to Beijing before, I might have helped the child worry about lifelong affairs. Now that Ruhai is back, I, the uncle of the National People's Congress, would not interfere in the children's marriage. "Brother Ying Jia's trust, I can only live up to it."

Zhen Yingjia wasn't that at all, he had already humbled himself to such an extent (self-confidently) that he thought that even if Jia She was unwilling to help this favor in his heart, he should agree on the surface, but who would have thought that Jia She was completely Don't even think about it, just reject it?

Everyone in the Zhen family was quite shocked, especially the girl from the Zhen family, who was able to maintain a dignified posture before, sitting quietly and listening to the adults talking, and while listening, the circles of her eyes suddenly turned red.
