Femme Beauty

Chapter 33

The death of Yishi, the former wife of Bowling Hou, forced Jia Jing to bring his wife back from the Taoist temple.Yishi is the cousin of Mrs. Bowling Hou's wife, Yishi. Although she is a little younger in age, she is related.She returned home on the first day, which happened to be the first seven of the former Mrs. Bowling Hou.The funeral in the capital usually lasts for a full [-] days.She was dressed in plain white and walked into the Bowling Marquis Mansion with a silver butterfly-patterned corolla, causing the eyes of those who came to attend the sacrifice to widen.This eldest lady of the Yi family, Mrs. Ning Guogong, has not appeared in front of people for many years.Everyone who was acquainted at the scene knew that Jia Jing, a descendant of Duke Ning, had passed the Jinshi Jia Ke examination.Originally a good high-ranking official and rich salary did not leave, but he chose to enter a Taoist temple and dream of longevity.For a long time, it became a joke in the imperial city.And his wife, Yi Shi, excused her illness and never appeared in front of others since then.Many meritorious families are estimated to be ashamed to show their faces.

This time I saw Yishi, even though he was already old and had Shuanghua.But in the end, his demeanor didn't change.The light clothes look like they are made of cotton and linen.Most of the people in the capital are either made of silk or satin, or skeined gauze, but the plainness of her body gives her an unearthly scent.With plain makeup and bright red, she looks much younger than her peers.

"Why did you come here from the temple?" The person who came to entertain Yi Shi was the brother and daughter-in-law of the former Mrs. Baolinghou. After his aunt died, he would always come.After all, her natal family is in the capital.

Yishi shook her hand: "I was planning to come out of the temple after the fifteenth day, but as soon as she left, my master and I rushed out. The master will come later. I heard that there is a Is my sister going to be raised by the queen?"

"That's what you said. Otherwise, I'm really worried!" The woman took Yi Shi's hand and walked to the side room, and asked someone to drink warm water: "I know you don't drink cold water, but now the whole house is full of water. I couldn’t find any tea leaves. I still had someone bring them from home.”

"Aren't there two more?" Yishi was surprised when he heard this.To what extent has this mansion been acquired, so that a waiting mansion can't even see a tea star.

"Ah!" The woman twitched her sideburns: "Before the former Marquis went to the battlefield, he secretly sold all the family's production, and used all the money he could use to pay back the money owed to the Ministry of Accounts in the early years. The current funeral at home, It’s still those two families who pooled money to make a show. Don’t be afraid of the old sister’s jokes, the two families probably won’t get any good things at home.”

"In this meritorious family, there were debts in the early years. Even our family owed more than 36 taels of silver. It's just that after the master resigned and returned home, he sold some of the dowries of the mistresses of the past, and the family has a small population. I paid back more than 20 taels, and there are nearly 10 taels left. It is waiting for us to take it out of my dowry if we leave one day. If we take it out now, I am afraid there will be trouble." Yishi said in a tone Soft, with a soothing flavor.When she was young, she was the most obedient in the circle.

The woman was very surprised when she heard it: "Why haven't you heard of this?"

"You didn't ask, what did we say?" Yishi pursed her lips and smiled: "There is no debt at home, right?"

"Of course not, our family is all noble, how can we owe it?" The woman lowered her head and smiled: "Your son, is he filial to you?" She asked Jia Zhen.

"He's a good boy, he does what I say." Yi Shi didn't feel much about Jia Zhen.Although she is a concubine's concubine, she still respects her when she returns home after her stomach is weak.She didn't pay much attention to these issues.

"Then just be filial to you!" The woman sighed, each family has its own difficulties.

When Jia Jing returned home, no one lived in the original main house.What he looked like when he left, is still what he looked like.Re-clean and put things on, and it can be used.

When Jia Mu heard that Jia Jing was back, she was very surprised.She put on a face and went out of her room, got into the sedan chair and entered Ningguo Mansion.Jia Jing looked at Jia's mother in the main room, with a full face of disapproval: "Auntie, is there something wrong when you come here in such a hot day? Brother Zhen told me that the land that was originally Rongguo Mansion was redrawn. I also edited the book and gave it to Enhou. I guess he won't mind about it."

When Jia's mother heard this, her heart suddenly jumped.She has never understood Jia Jing.Before his father left, the entire Ningguo Mansion had the intention of changing the court.But I don't know why the good fourth-rank official didn't do it, and he took his wife to the Taoist temple.At this time, Jia Jing was thin and widowed.His complexion was rosy, but his eyelids were drooping with a gloomy look.His voice was low, without ups and downs, which made Mother Jia very uncomfortable.

"The eldest nephew said this. Didn't I hear that my nephew came back? It's good to be back. I can't live in a good place. What are you looking for? If your father is alive, why don't you be so angry." The words she said were very specific. The taste of vice persuasion.

Jia Jing looked at her and snorted softly: "It doesn't bother my aunt to worry about it, my father left early. If I knew, I'm afraid my aunt will tell me in the future. I am grateful to my aunt for taking care of Brother Zhen these years. The daughter-in-law I heard that my aunt personally went to set it up for Brother Rong. I am very grateful to my aunt. I originally thought that it would be better to leave after the fifteenth day, and it would be better to move when the autumn is clear. But Mrs. Bowling Hou is also my wife’s Relatives of my mother's family. So I followed back."

Hearing Jia Jing mentioned Qin Keqing, Jia's mother understood that Jia Zhen must have told Jia Jing about this.She smiled and said: "That's a good way to say it. But Qing's child, I am afraid that my granddaughters-in-law can't compare. Back then, there was no way, Brother Zhen didn't have anything on him, Brother Rong Finding a daughter-in-law is not easy, isn't it? The Qin family is an old family after all. It's just that their status is a little bit..." Mother Jia put on an attitude that I don't really know what's going on, but I just understand these things.Jia Jing pursed his lips and smiled: "That's good. It's also a good thing to be able to get the Buddha in the palace right now. I have already told Brother Zhen to let Rong take his wife to his uncle's place in a few days. Although Shandong It's a bit far away, but it's a place of learning after all. It's good not to be as promising as Lian'er, but to be able to settle down and live. It's just that my aunt knows that Baoyu's body..."

His mouth slowly opened, and Jia Mu uttered in horror: "It doesn't matter if it's coming, or it really is. I just ask my aunt to look at the life of the Jia family who came to the door, and think about things."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the sun outside: "The sun is not high these days, my aunt's house must be busy, it's better to go early."

After finishing speaking, Jia Jing got up and walked away without looking at Jia's mother.Mother Jia pinched her cuffs and trembled. She didn't know what to say or what to do for a while.The trembling slowly spread all over her body, and finally she swept the tea bowl on the small tea table to the ground with a wave of her sleeve.The crisp sound made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Jia Jing went back to the study with a side room, sat at the desk, took out a notebook with a white satin cover from the drawer, and slowly polished the ink and brush to start writing the notebook.Some things cannot be avoided.Back then, he chose to practice alchemy and engage in Huang Lao's theory. On the one hand, he really liked these things, and on the other hand, he was a little prince, and he had neither the help of his teachers nor enough network resources.The Ningguo Mansion is in decline.Looking at the achievements of the Rongguo Mansion, it was nothing more than a promotion to the title.

At that time, he thought of a way to not only preserve the strength of the family but also get out of the quagmire.He chose to highlight himself because of his father's death, which made sense to a Taoist priest, so he resigned and entered a Taoist temple.Although it was only three or four years ago, it was only more than a year after the troubles and going to the Taoist temple.However, he is still a Jinshi and the first degree, and has a military officer title.Moreover, because he was admitted to Jinshi, the first-class title, he was deliberately not demoted to become a noble.

But now he came out and made his wife formally attend the funeral.Then it means that he has to go to court again.

After writing the notes, he called out to the boy: "By the car, go to Prince Teng Wang's mansion."

Wang Ziteng was surprised to see Jia Jing appear.They are not from the same group, he and Lin Ruhai are protected by the old emperor.Lin Ruhai went to Jinling and was not in court. He went to Shandong to train soldiers.Only Jia Jing stayed in the court alone, and later made a scene of not being a courtier but a Taoist priest.He felt that it was also justifiable.It's not easy for everyone, each has his own choice.Jia Jing is the direct branch of the sixth house of the Jia family and the patriarch.What he needs to care about is not simply his own title, but also the hundred or so people living nearby.

He led Jia Jing into the study and sat down: "Why did Brother Shi decide to leave the mountain?"

Hearing this, Jia Jing narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I'll ask you one thing, how come we are also relatives now." He took out the note he wrote from his bosom, and handed it to Wang Ziteng: "I've always heard that you and that It is closely related, can you pass me the folder for me."

"You are..." Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Jing, who was full of character, and frowned: "Are you going to be born?"

Jia Jing picked up a small clay puppet placed on Wang Ziteng's table and rubbed it while looking sideways at the plaything in his hand, and said, "There is no way to do it. The children in the family are stupid and ignorant. If this continues, I'm afraid they will die without knowing what to do." Dead. I am his old man, so I can't watch him jump off the building."

Hearing the helplessness he said, Wang Ziteng nodded his head: "There are quite a few job openings right now. It's just..."

"Zhongshu Sheng!" Jia Jing put down the clay puppet and looked at the wide-eyed Wang Ziteng: "My wife's brother works in Zhongshu Sheng. I understand many things. I just hope that Lord Wang will be merciful in the future." good."

"You want to come to the Ministry of War?" Wang Ziteng originally thought that what he wanted was the lack of the Ministry of Education.But unexpectedly, he ended up going around to the Ministry of War.

"As far as I know, Mr. Wang is about to be promoted. After taking the position of Minister of War, Mr. Wang will give up his current position of guarding the capital. Although Jia's family is not far from being defeated, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. Jia Forgive him, my uncle left early. I have a lot of contacts here, I believe... Where is my daughter-in-law, this position can still be obtained. "

He spoke in a slow voice, but Wang Ziteng's heart trembled when he heard it.He understood that Jia Jing at this time was the one known as a ghost.He narrowed his eyes and thought for a while: "This, I'm afraid we won't know until the booklet is uploaded. Shixiong has a lot of appetite!"

"No way!" Jia Jing shook his head: "If Lian'er didn't pay homage to Lin Ruhai, then it's good for me to continue to stay in the temple. But you should know that my son is useless. Rong'er watched and followed him. I’m not bad at all. After a while, I’ll send him to his uncle’s place, and Shandong University can change it to some extent. Since Lian’er wants to change his family style, he alone can’t do it. Besides, that old man Ma'am...you should also know, right?"

Wang Ziteng nodded: "Brother Shi, this is for the sake of future generations!" He sighed, and put the pocketbook on top of his own pocketbook.Jia Jing smiled bitterly: "You are talking about how careless I am. I can raise such a son. I know what kind of virtue I am. But there is one thing, let's discuss it with Mr. Wang in private. I can last another six years!"

"Six years?" Wang Ziteng didn't understand what Jia Jing meant for a while.

"In the early years, my body was injured because of the youthful vigor of the court. Now it's winter, and I can't breathe. Looking at it now, things in the north will drag on for ten or twenty years. I If he enters the imperial court, he will be able to open up some pulses. There is Lin Ruhai on Lian'er's side, so I don't worry about it. But I am here, and it will relieve some pressure on Brother She. It is not easy to get a horse. Although he can play with some , after all, it’s not an old-fashioned way.”

"He really knows how to raise horses?" Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Jing in surprise. He had never believed that Jia She could raise horses.It should be said that even the emperor did not believe it.In other words, it is true that Jia Amnesty in the entire capital will eat, drink and have fun.Will raise horses...

"Hahahaha..." Jia Jing laughed happily. He had laughed enough and nodded Wang Ziteng from the air: "Oh... you guys!" He shook his head, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed for a while, then recovered Then he said: "He must have something good. I have a small horse farm in the suburbs of Beijing, and the horses in it are all bought by him in the past few years. I think he has been thinking about it since Lian'er got engaged to your girl. Yes. They are well raised!"

Hearing this, Wang Ziteng's expression was as if he had swallowed a fly.I can't swallow it, I'm dying of nausea.

Jia Jing coughed and left at last. Wang Ziteng sat on the chair and thought about it, and decided to go to the palace.This Jia Jing was full of weirdness.He didn't dare to open his notebook to take a look first.He had no choice but to take it into the palace, he really wanted to know what this man was thinking.

Looking at Jia Jingde's book, Mu Chengze also frowned.There is nothing special in it, and it is very long.But he was talking about his achievements in the Taoist temple over the years.He frowned and looked at Wang Ziteng: "Did he really say it was for me?"

"Yes, I think it's very strange. He's looking at the position of the Gyeonggi garrison after I became Minister of the Ministry of War. He also reminded me that his uncle is in Zhongshu Province." Wang Ziteng recounted the conversation in the afternoon to him. Mu Chengze, listening to Mu Chengze was also full of doubts.He rummaged through it, read the book back and forth many times, but couldn't find anything useful.This matter revealed strangeness back and forth, but no solution could be found.In the end, he took a paper cutter on one side and destructively tore apart the entire folder.

Wang Ziteng watched Mu Chengze dismantle the box, and broke out in a cold sweat.If this master has opened up the booklet and still can't find the answer, then Jia Jing will probably have to peel off a layer of skin.

Mu Chengze completely removed the cover of the zhezi, and then followed the method he knew in the inner government decree, roasted it with fire and soaked it in water, but nothing came out.In the end, he took the satin envelope and looked carefully at the sunlight.Wang Ziteng also tilted his body and followed him to watch.Two people, still didn't find anything.Mu Chengze threw the things aside, and shouted outside: "Qiaoer, come in quickly."

Qiao An, who was enjoying the cool outside the door, heard Mu Chengze's words, and immediately ran over with a stunned look: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Mu Chengze threw all Jia Jing's booklets to him: "Show me, what's in it?"

Monk Joan Erzhang puzzled over the pair of tatters on the ground and carefully examined them. Finally, he scratched his head and shouted outside: "Little stove, come here quickly. Bring the frosting powder."

"What's that?" Hearing what Qiao An wanted, Mu Chengze felt that there was something to it.He poked out from behind the desk, and Wang Ziteng simply squatted down and moved closer.

"I don't know how this master knows about a thing used by the inner court order. This thing is hardly passed on to the outside world. Even if we know it, I'm afraid few internal servants will be able to take it out." Qiao An said to the person who wrote the note, Very curious.Frost powder is a kind of thing that Nei Fu Ling uses to convey messages, and it is used to reveal hidden messages from fabrics.Even the Red Snake Guards didn't know about it.

"Your servant has seen Long Live, Lord Wang!" The person who came was a young eunuch, very flexible.He called himself a minister, and it looked like he was ordered by the inner government.He took out a small porcelain bottle from the pouch at his waist, and beckoned the little eunuch who came in with him to bring the water basin, put the cream powder in it, and after it melted, he gently melted the cover satin into it. See the blue writing develop from above.Looking at the crazy fonts on it, Joan suddenly had a headache.He carefully handed the silk to Mu Chengze's desk.

Looking at the string of words, Mu Chengze immediately held his breath in his chest.He pointed at the font tremblingly, and it took him a long time to spit it out and shouted to Qiao An: "Let the Red Snake Guard treat our first-class general Jia Jing well, and bring it to me from his mansion within half an hour. "

After saying this, he suddenly thought of a good idea: "Don't send it here, lock it in the White Tiger Hall. I still have papers to approve, I'll lock it up for three to five days before we talk!"

Hearing Mu Chengze's words, Wang Ziteng and Qiao An looked at each other, and immediately lowered their bodies.On the silk cloth on the imperial case, it is clearly written:

"Your majesty, I think, you should be a smart man!"
