Femme Beauty

Chapter 46

Wang Ziteng went to court on the ninth day, and was confused.After the emperor's early court was over, he actually asked him for the training booklet for the daughter of the Wang family.When he finished working on the cabinet, he returned home and told his wife about it, and his wife was also stunned for a long time.What surprised him even more was that four days later, the brochure he sent up had been amended in some small places, making it a compulsory procedure for royal princesses and princesses.Damn it, he didn't feel awkward seeing Jia Jing anymore.

Jia Jing had no time to think about what Wang Ziteng was thinking at this time, as the defense of the capital, he was directly facing the emperor.Therefore, as far as Wang Ziteng, who is the minister of the Ministry of War, Jia Jing's position is enough to make him just a polite one.Coupled with Jia Jing's temper, he showed a hint of arrogance instead.At this time, he was also in power for more than two years. Although he only stopped the Beiman who came to offend him once, he was a fierce general who became famous in the first battle.No one dared to say that this meritorious disciple who once focused on alchemy relied on the glory of his ancestors in exchange for his position.Not to mention anything else, just seeing that he can watch the bloody scene without changing his expression is enough.You know, there are really not many civil servants in this dynasty who have seen blood.Even the killing at Caishikou was just a rumor.That kind of unlucky place, not to mention Caishikou, is where my own women give birth, and they all hide in the study far away.

He was walking slowly on the square with a soup lady in his arms, and beside him was Zheng Keshuang who had been recalled from the Northwest battlefield. They were old friends.When the emperor did not use this person, he was a frequent visitor in Taoist temples.Surrounded by a few officials pretending to be talking, they all wanted to hear what the two military generals were talking about.But the content really confuses these people.Because Zheng Keshuang doesn't know how to use small talk to talk about business affairs.

"Your son's fiancée is dead, what does it have to do with me?" Jia Jing glanced at him, "Although you are married to a concubine from the Rongguo Mansion, after all, that is also your in-law relationship with Jia Amnesty, how can it be connected to me? gone?"

"At the beginning, you said that if you have a daughter and my son is single, you can marry me." Zheng Keshuang stretched out his hand and pointed at Jia Jing, his face was arrogant and arrogant.

Jia Jing tilted his body and glanced at him: "The problem is, my daughter is only six years old this year."

"That's why I thought of my uncle, how could it be said that it's time for his daughter to come out to see him!" Zheng Keshuang looked proud and tilted his head slightly.

Jia Jing shook his head: "If you can persuade Enhou to give your son his precious daughter to be his wife, how about I give you a set of first-class Tianming cloud pottery?"

"Cut... others don't know, but I don't know? It's just something you made a fuss about, and now you give it away..." Zheng Keshuang sneered at him, and stretched out his fingers to make a two: "It's worth two set."

"One thing, you have to be able to persuade him. Otherwise, don't think about anything." Jia Jing was very shameless.Zheng Keshuang stopped, and stood up straight: "Success. You said that! Don't play tricks on me, you old boy. You look like a person, and you have a bad belly. They say you are old enough." Jing, you have become a demon." After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Jia Jing looked at his back and sneered, "Marry that bastard's daughter... make your dreams come true!"

Back home, Jia Jing looked at his daughter who was listening to Yishi's study seriously on the kang, took off his clothes for a while to relieve the cold, and hugged her into his arms: "Does Niuer miss Daddy today?"

"No." Xichun, who hadn't decided on a name because of the dispute, just got a name that didn't look like a name or a name.She shook her head honestly, she only saw her father when she left in the morning.So don't want to.

"Okay!" Jia Jing looked at his daughter, she was beautiful and had a good family background, and the boys would definitely be vying for it in the future.It is conceivable that he would be taken away by another man, and he would be annoyed.Bringing this thought to Jia She, it became much clearer.

He went to Yi Shi's side and put down his daughter: "Zheng Keshuang came to me today and said that he wanted to hire Jia She's eldest daughter to be his legitimate son."

Yishi laughed when he heard this.Not long ago, she received a letter from Mrs. Xing, which said Jia She's attitude towards her daughter.She is old and not in good spirits.To know.She is only less than ten years younger than Jia Mu.She stroked the elder sister's hair: "Let him beg! I see, if you don't have ten years of hard work, you don't want to marry into the family. The younger sister-in-law wrote a letter the other day saying that a boy from a nearby farmer helped Yingchun with horses. He's been staring at him for days."

"I'll just say it! Back when Lin Ruhai was going to marry Jia Min, he was awkward and didn't say a word to Lin Ruhai for two or three years. Every time we met, there was no nose or eye." Jia Jing recalled the funny things back then and shook his head. Shake your head.His body has improved a lot because of that bottle of Tianlu.Although the dead end has been broken a bit, but he is old after all.If I got that thing five years ago, it would be better than now.

He hooked his daughter's chin: "You... What kind of young man will you marry in the future?"

"How old is she, what do you think of?" Yishi glanced at him.Jia Jing shook his head: "Brother Zhen's mind was in Qingzhou, and he was scared out of the question. His mind is also a lot worse. If you don't want to now, you think we can watch her get engaged?"

Hearing what Jia Jing said, Yi Shi also felt melancholy.She patted the elder sister's head and said, "Find a rich gentry or something, even if there is a military disaster, you won't lose your home. I'm not talking about frustration here. If something happens to the Shi family brothers, I'm afraid the master may not be able to." It can be saved. Besides, those who are facing the north now are just looking at the master's reputation in the past. When they slow down, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."

"The horse that Jia Amnesty handed over is in line with his original promise. Maybe in autumn, he will have to come back. The emperor also has a decree. As long as he comes back, the position of Rong Guogong will be his. Where is Lianer? I have already passed the Juren exam. Right now, the sixth room of the Jia family is not afraid. There is good news for the grandson's wife. Brother Rong is still benefiting from the environment here. Right now, I know that I will follow the farmers to the fields After all..." Jia Jing held Yi Shi's hand: "If I die that day, you don't have to worry about your children and grandchildren."

"I'm an old woman, and I'm worried about what that person will do. If you die in battle, I'll find another old man to live with." Yi Shi joked, but there was unspeakable bitterness in that gentle laughter. .

In the midsummer of June, because the content of the Chanyuan alliance with the north was re-determined.Therefore, in addition to the North's compensation for the war in Qingzhou, the side also provided enough food, cloth, and silk as a basis for mutual trust.But no matter what, this can't cover up the fact that the Beiya pass is still heavily guarded.But these can't cover up the excitement in the capital, but those who have concubines in the palace at home are building the family-friendly garden regardless of loss and for the sake of their children and grandchildren.Jia Lian was in Yangzhou, watching Prince Teng of the capital write him a letter, everything said in it was three years earlier than his memory.

Lin Ruhai is free at this time, playing chess with Jia Lian in the gazebo at home.Today is Muxiu, he can relax and ignore everything.Put a word: "Why... Your father-in-law gave you a problem?"

"No, I just talked about things in the capital. Right now, many palaces with empresses are building provincial gardens." Jia Lian frowned and clasped his hands on the stone table, supporting his chin. If there are variables, my memory will not be accurate."

"If you are worried about this, you might as well think that things are artificial. At least, many changes are going in a good direction, aren't they?" Lin Ruhai clicked the chessboard: "Look, in the year you remember, it is absolutely impossible to be here with me. Game."

"That's true!" Jia Lian pursed her lips into a smile, and made a gesture.It is true that many things cannot be done accurately, and he cannot rely on his own memory to obtain anything.Although he has always used the memory he has as a bargaining chip, but the current situation is better than before.Why bother yourself for that?

The summer harvest was good, and Wang Xifeng was very satisfied with the granary she built in Shanxi.Although their family doesn't need that much food, they still need to save it for a rainy day.After inspecting Zhuangtian twice, her greater interest shifted from farming to shipbuilding in Rizhao.The model she made is said to be under construction at this time.It's just that it will take at least two years to complete.She counted the years in the plot of the Red Mansion, and felt that two or three years was still worth waiting.

Ships are very expensive. To be exact, a sea-going ship costs more than 4000 taels of silver.Fortunately, her dowry is really enough, and Jia Lian is very interested in it.At least after the construction is successful, going overseas for at least four or five years will be able to pay back the cost, and there will be some profit, so how bad is it?It was only after many years that they realized that Wang Xifeng's dowry-expensive six large boats not only brought a lot of wealth to the family, but also were the main force in saving the Jia family members from going overseas to avoid military disasters in times of crisis.Of course, this is something.

After finishing these things, Wang Xifeng stayed in Jinling for two days thinking about visiting Xue's house.But before her carriage got out of the street, she saw a large number of scholars gathered outside the yamen, clamoring about cheating in the imperial examination.She frowned when she heard this, but she couldn't find anything similar in her careful recollection.Therefore, I had no choice but to go back home.Right now, there is a lot of chaos outside. If the scholars rebelled and were suppressed, it would be a closure of the city.She didn't want to go out and poke funk at this time.After finally avoiding at home for three days, she boarded a boat and returned to Yangzhou.

Seeing Wang Xifeng who was steaming into the room and asking for ice water, Jia Lian hurriedly stopped her and gave her lukewarm water, and waited until her stomach was relieved before serving the sour plum soup that was only served with cold water.

Drinking sour plum soup, Wang Xifeng felt that it was not enough.She has had a bitter summer recently, which may be related to the weather in Yangzhou.It wasn't very hot, but the humidity was high.She always felt that the clothes she was wearing were all damp.Therefore, I don't like to wear those silk satins. When I enter the house, I scrub it and put on the linen and silk mixed skirt that I prepared early.

"Didn't you just come back after going to Xue's house? Why did you stay for two more days?" Jia Lian asked gently when she saw her slow down.Although he was not worried about Wang Xifeng's safety outside, after all, there were a bunch of maids, women, and servants in charge, and there was no strongman in the city.But he still expressed his inner worry about not coming back on time.

"I originally wanted to go to my aunt's place to catch up on the old days. How can we say that the relationship between our two families has been good in the past few years. But unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I saw scholars making trouble. I heard about cheating in the imperial examination. It hurts my brain. I didn’t want to get involved at first. No matter what there is in it, it’s not suitable for people like us. I went back to the house. I thought I’d come back by boat at dusk. It’s impossible, The gates of the roads were actually sealed, and one letter was sent for two or three days. After finally asking someone to deliver the letter to Mrs. Fuyi, I boarded the boat and came back."

"Scholar making trouble?" Jia Lian's eyes widened. Why didn't he know about such a big thing in Yangzhou.

"That's right!" Wang Xifeng nodded, made herself another bowl of sour plum soup, and sipped it.The body relieved the heat, but it was relieved and relaxed a lot.

"Why is there no news at all here?" Jia Lian frowned, thought for a while and patted the table: "The Zhen family is too courageous, so aren't they afraid of Mr. Xue going to the secret court?" He was referring to Mr. Xue. Ren's Ziwei Sheren.This position was originally the Zhongshu Ling of the Tang Dynasty, but it was only a title in this dynasty.But there is a direct channel to write a letter.

"Why are you afraid?" Wang Xifeng knew what he thought of, and she thought of it on the boat.She kicked off her shoes and sat crookedly: "Three generations of the Xue family have never used this, I'm afraid the Zhen family has forgotten it. Not to mention, how can the current Xue family have the anger of Ziwei Sheren? Although it is said to be an official family After all, the businessman's habits are too contaminated. That Xue Pan is also a bastard demon king. I am afraid that no one can take care of him except him. Even if I said something about nothing, I forgot it after listening to it."

"Ah!" Jia Lian sighed, "Uncle will know about it in a few days. Now that uncle has gone to the salt field, there is no way to talk about it."

"I think, whether you say it or not, it will be passed on in the future. You might as well write to my uncle. We don't know how long Jinling City will be sealed. We don't know what's going on inside, do we? If you leave The water route must enter the city. If our people can’t get out, they can’t get in. It’s better to take the land route, and it will take longer to estimate. Even if my uncle knows, I’m afraid I can only worry about it.”

"That's right." Jia Lian nodded, got up and walked to Wang Xifeng's desk in the small hall, while the corroded Qiu Ju went up to get him ink, and he began to write letters by himself.Halfway through writing, he thought about it and decided to write this and then send a letter to Uncle Jing.I have been taken care of all these years, one more person is worse than one less thing.

Watching him write, Wang Xifeng threw a brown booklet in her luggage to him: "No, send this together. Jia Yucun's apology book."

Looking at the excerpts, Jia Lian became more aware after the accident.It is not incapable of Jia Yucun to be able to worship the third-rank officials later.

Because Jia Lian's letter was rushed, even though it traveled a long way, it was much faster than water transportation.After more than half a month, I arrived in the capital.Jia Jing was not very surprised when he received the letter.The courage of the Zhen family was like that of the old lady next door.But Wang Ziteng watched half of it, put on his clothes and entered the palace.

Jia Yucun sat on his grand teacher's chair, looking at Ku Xia's wife nestled on the pagoda.The women and girls on one side were kicked out early.Coupled with the heat of the day, no one could stick around to eavesdrop on the conversation of the master's house.He asked in a low voice, "But did you tell Second Mistress Lian?"

"I told you, how else would I send her out of the city?" Zhen Xing'er looked at her master, turned over and lay flat on her back, and turned her head to look: "Master, why bother? That Xuezheng is the master of the second room of the Zhen family, and the Tiren Courtyard The CEO is the eldest master of the Zhen family, the guard who guards the city, and the third housekeeper of the Zhen family. The master is a Fuyi, how wrong is this thing. We can only stay behind closed doors, and it is just that the master is aware of current affairs."

"If you don't talk about the affairs at this time, how can anyone know. I just hope that this time I won't talk about losing my official position, as long as I don't lose my head." Jia Yucun sighed.His hair has been greying a lot lately. In order to teach those scholars a lesson, the Zhen family closed the gate of the city and made a lot of complaints inside.Although there is no news about it, he doesn't want to be a scapegoat.So when Wang Xifeng begged to come back to Yangzhou, he saw the opportunity and wrote a letter of plea for Wang Xifeng to take Chucheng and send it to the capital.No one would have thought that the Jia family, who had a good relationship with the Zhen family, would become an outlet.

The Zhen family sealed off the city for half a month, so that those troubled scholars can be threatened with threats, and they can be settled with money.In Jinling City, there was another peaceful and prosperous world.As if nothing had happened, the merchants who came and went were afraid to talk about it carefully with the power of the Zhen family.It also took more than two months for the story of Jinling City to really spread in the capital.

Mu Chengze immediately received Jia Yucun's pleading letter and Wang Ziteng's letter from Jia Lian, but he didn't react.Instead, he hid himself and let people spread the news of Jinling.Messages happened very quickly, especially under the emperor's deliberate creation.At the same time, the message will also change due to continuous delivery.In the end, the Zhen family became a typical representative of the Tu Emperor, with something that had long been anti-righteous.Only then did Mu Chengze send a sixth-rank official to Jinling with his oral instructions and internal documents to save simple writing, where Xuan Zhen's parents and the president of Jinling Tiren Institute, Zhen Yingjia, entered the court.

After four months of trembling, Jia Yucun slowly let go of his nerves after seeing the news of Zhen Yingjia's entry into the court.But he was not satisfied with this, he felt that this time might be an opportunity to rise.The Zhen family is indeed a big dragon, a dragon that must be careful to eat even the emperor.But he is just a small reptile, and if he bites it... what he loses is nothing more than the emperor's trust.He will never lose his wealth and life, after all, he has life-saving things in his hands.So in that case, why not take a gamble?

Zhen Yingjia, who was on the road at this time, would never have imagined that there would be a small reptile rushing to the Zhen family and taking a bite.One must know that after Shanghuang fled to Jinling in a panic, the status of the Zhen family may not even be comparable to that of a prince.
