The vision of the red building is farther

Jia Zhen felt a little anxious, as if he was about to reach the exit, but was blocked by a layer of gauze, and couldn't help but get a headache. "Father, although I don't have any contact with King Shui Rong of Beijing County, I have heard a lot of anecdotes about him. He has always been an elegant person who likes calligraphy and painting, that is to say, he has a lot of romantic affairs, but this is not uncommon. It's something. Many young masters admire him very much." Jia Mao and Shui Rong are not the same people, so they are limited to the so-called hearsay—a handsome young man, a sentimental young master, he is the most compassionate, and he treats beautiful women very well. of.

"Let me ask you, if he loves idle clouds and wild cranes, why does he make friends with powerful and powerful people? If he is really rich and idle, why is he famous in the capital without doing a single practical thing so far. Brother Yang, have you thought about this carefully? Ye The daughter-in-law of the family is nothing more than a mere side concubine, presumably the backyard of the king of Beijing is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers! He is really careless, will those people who are married to him have no thoughts?" Jia Zhen looked at her son, He said, "Brother Yang, no one in this officialdom is simple. Don't think that you can easily see through their minds. You have to know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. Think more about everything, and you will have more ways to retreat in the future. "

"My child is taught." Jia Mao lowered his head, raised his head after a long time, and said, "I heard that the king of Beijing seems to be very close to Wei Ruolan, Chen Yejun, Feng Ziying and others. If it is true, father The guess is not unreasonable." "These families are all military officials. Although they have kept a low profile these years, and they have been divided and suppressed by Li An for a long time, they still have some foundations." Jia Zhen can't see through this Bei Jing The king's thoughts changed. He didn't think that Shui Rong had any real ability. He was afraid that he didn't even have one-third of the ability of the kings of Xining and Nan'an back then.

"Our family has been estranged from these people for a long time, just pretend that you don't know about it." Jia Zhen secretly paid attention, not forgetting to tell Jia Mao. "Father, don't worry, my son still understands. It's just that my son really thinks that Wei Ruolan and Chen Yejun can be regarded as young talents, but Feng Ziying is hard to say." Jia Mao felt a little pity. "Don't be too busy. It's a pity. Sooner or later, there will be troubles in the Wei family. Old General Wei is a good man, but it's a pity that he is old, his health is extremely poor, and his son is weak. Wei Ruolan is the only son. Although Wei Ruolan is promising He is a merciful one, and many of those offshoots have military achievements, but they are eyeing them. There will be disputes in the future." Jia Zhen took a book casually, and he understood why the Wei family in the original book would choose to marry the historian. Presumably, Old General Wei knew Wei Ruolan's temperament, so he wanted to find someone with a strong personality and a powerful family, so that he could help Wei Ruolan.

The Shi family has two princes. Although Shi Xiangyun has lost his parents, he is the daughter of the eldest son. Shi Nai has taken over his elder brother's title, so he always has to take care of Shi Xiangyun. In the original book, Mrs. Shi Nai often takes Shi Xiangyun around. , Presumably they got these.

"Father, you don't know, this Wei family has more than these things, but they just didn't say it." Jia Mao couldn't help but said, with a bit of complacent cunning, it seems that there are things that his father doesn't know. "Oh, tell me." Jia Zhen raised her eyebrows, waiting for her son's next words.

"Father, as the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Wei Ruolan is really a pity. I heard from Tan Ying that this old general Wei was suppressed because of the Wei family. Relying on Wei Ruolan's marriage to cling to the powerful. That's all, but Mrs. Wei is the step-wife, not Wei Ruolan's biological mother, so she has a little selfishness in her heart, and wants to find someone with a good reputation, but it's easy to handle so that she can continue. Master the power of the family. Thinking about it this way, Wei Ruolan's situation is a bit embarrassing." Jia Mao couldn't help sighing when he thought about Wei Ruolan's situation.

"If you are in Wei Ruolan's situation, I can rest assured that you won't be so stupid as to jump into a hole dug by others." Jia Zhen glared at her son angrily, and said, "I ask What if you deal with it differently?" "This—" Jia Mao really didn't think about this issue, these things are just talk to them. "If Wei Ruolan can handle it properly, I think he can be regarded as a sensible person, maybe it can be used." Jia Zhen pondered slightly, he remembered that Li An seemed to be observing Wei Ruolan right now!

"Father is optimistic about Wei Ruolan?" Jia Mao asked Jia Zhen's unfinished meaning. "Did I say that? But apart from anything else, if what you said is true, it would be rare for Wei Ruolan to have such skills and reputation." Jia Zhen thought for a while and commented. "Father's meaning, my child understands." Jia Mao immediately understood Jia Zhen's meaning, and planned ahead—don't make friends, just observe secretly.

"Father, do you think Wei Ruolan can handle these things well?" Jia Mao asked. "As long as he knows how to choose, and can be ruthless when necessary, these things are not difficult. Brother Yang, the most labor-saving way in this world is to borrow a knife to kill people, and use strength to fight. Do you understand what I mean?" Jia Jane looked at her son meaningfully, and a faint smile curled up on the corner of her mouth, "And the most stupid way is to make enemies at the same time. Pretty good performance."

Seeing her son's dumbfounded expression, Jia Zhen couldn't help but puffed up, stretched out her hand, and said, "This is a side branch of the Wei family. They are just thinking about it, and they can cooperate for the time being." Lifting it up, "This is the old general Wei and his wife. They are near worries and must be suppressed." At the same time, Jia Zhen made a gesture of pressing down with her palms facing down.

"The side branches of the Wei family are wolves, but after all, they are not good enough. It is just to make them proud for a while, and they will eventually get it back. The old general Wei and his wife are different, and they are more ethical. Rather than trying their best, it is better to watch the tiger from the mountain. fight." Jia Zhen looked at Jia Mao's expression and shook her head, so she was still too tender, "The temporary retreat and concession is for the future advancement, what Wei Ruolan lacks is also what you lack."

"Father, can you tell me about what happened to you back then? Father doesn't know something, but that boy Tan Ying admires you, praises you in my ear all day long, and always wants to ask me about those things." Jia Mao hurriedly said that after returning from Jinling, he had already figured it out. Maybe he really has some skills, but others are more concerned about his father and his methods.

"Do you want to listen to those messy things?" Jia Zhen raised her eyebrows. Those messy things made him feel bad enough, not to mention the restless people in the West Mansion. "Father might as well talk to the child, so that the child can learn from the father." Jia Mao seldom heard his father talk about his father's youth, and his grandparents didn't like to talk about these things, and what others said was always somewhat distorted. , For example, many people said that their father was a stingy man, but Jia Mao knew that Jia Zhen was not like this, and said that the Jia family treated the slaves very harshly, and so on.

"You should have some impressions of Liu's family, the first-class son in the capital!" Jia Zhen thought for a while before pulling something out of her mind. "My son knows that he is the grandson of Liu Biao, the Duke of Li, who likes to go to romantic places, loves luxury and extravagance, and his servants are extremely arrogant, oppressing the people. I heard that Mrs. Liu still gives out interest money, killing many people. "Jia Mao looked down on the Liu family very much, and Jia Zhen couldn't help complaining in her heart-boy, you are still young, but the saying that like attracts like is true, the Jia family is no worse than the Liu family.

"At that time, the slaves in our family were no different than theirs. They deceived others and bullied others, but in comparison, the slaves who stayed behind in Jinling were better." Jia Zhen's light words summed up Jia Mao's words. It got stuck in the throat. "Didn't grandpa ever take care of it?" Jia Mao held back for a long time before he said such a sentence.

"Your grandfather was indifferent, he loved reading, and didn't care about business. At that time your great-grandfather was not in good health, and he still didn't know how to manage the housework in the West Mansion! Leaving Jinling far away, the entire Jia clan had to pick out It's hard for someone who understands the rules to make progress even a little bit. You're a man of command in Jinling, which is much more useful than I was back then." Jia Zhen snorted coldly, and glared at Jia Mao.

Jia Mao rubbed his nose, not daring to speak. "Didn't you always wonder why the clan elders in Jinling are so peaceful? Back then, I ordered my own guards, tied up those who committed crimes and slaves, expelled them and killed many of them." Jia Zhen raised her lips slightly and said, " This memory makes them have to grow. The things you encountered were just small things, but you didn't handle them well. I see that if I hadn't been watching, you would be similar to that Liu Fang in the future."

"Then what did father find out?" Jia Mao quickly brought back the topic that was already a thousand miles away from the original one. "It's nothing, it's just a little strange to see the movement of the Beijing Palace. You have to know that when you pull out a carrot, you will bring out the mud. The Ye family has something to do with the Beijing Palace, so I can't rest assured. Our family has always had a rift with these people. You I was tricked again in Jinling, and now I am still waiting for news from Baishu and Baiqi. I haven’t heard from Baishu for so long, so Jinling is a bit tricky.” Jia Zhen pulled Jia Mao over and said, “Although I blame you, But I'm still a little lucky." If the other party really came prepared and colluded with each other, then Jia Mao's performance can barely be regarded as a pass, at least he didn't teach people to eat and lost his bones.

"It's the boy who failed his father's expectations." Jia Mao only felt ashamed. "Okay, that's all for now. It's better to suffer now than to suffer later." Jia Zhen didn't say any more, picked up a few more things, and explained the current situation in the capital to Jia Mao in detail. "According to what my father said, it can be seen that those foreigners are not as simple as we thought. I thought those priests only believed in their God!" Jia Mao said.

"If you really serve with all your heart, why bother to come to us? You can see how much they take care of those beggars? It's just that you thought of one, but you didn't expect the second. Our court has many trade ties with these countries. To send missionaries over, what do you think their monarch has in mind?" Jia Zhen smiled lightly, the speed of the rise of Catholicism made him look at these foreigners with admiration.
