Winning every step of the Red Mansion

208

Jia Amnesty borrowed the completion of the new stele from the forest of steles, and made an introduction to honor the prince to unveil the new stele.After the unveiling, the prince walked around the forest of steles as usual, and asked Jia She why the forest of steles was different from the one he had visited before.

This question hit Jia She's heart, Jia She took a step forward and said, "My lord really has good eyesight. Now this forest of steles is indeed a bit different from the last time he came here. When I first built the forest of steles, I didn't think too much about it. It was nothing more than three or five inscriptions. Later, thanks to the care of many scholars and celebrities, it accumulated for several years to achieve today's grand occasion. It's just that the minister at that time could not have expected today. Although this small courtyard has been renovated, but the place is It is still paved with vertical bricks according to the habit of the mansion. But these monuments are heavy and these vertical bricks have broken a lot over time. I think something is wrong. Three days ago, I ordered people to repair this road. Today It was repaired and paved. So it looks different from the past."

Jia She spoke eloquently and eloquently, Prince Zhongjing listened casually at first, but since he heard that the road in this small courtyard was paved within three days, his eyes shone with a different light.

"Three days? In just three days, you will renovate the ground of this yard? Enhou, don't lie to me. Even if you have ready-made bluestone slabs, you may not be able to complete this within three days." Zhong Jing Wang Ye Said slowly.

Hearing this, Jia She hurriedly said: "My lord, how dare I lie to you? Everything I said today is true, and there is absolutely no half a lie. I hope the lord will learn from you." The loyal and respectful lord was noncommittal, and Jia She said suddenly: "My lord. It’s better to see it than to hear it. How about this, my lord, there is a small road behind my small courtyard. There are not many people walking, and it is all made of gravel and loess. But I think it’s inconvenient in the wind and rain. After repairing the small courtyard, there are still some leftover materials, so I ordered him to repair this small road, I am afraid it is still being repaired today, if the prince is interested, why not take a look?"

Prince Zhongjing came and said with interest: "Even so, I still want to see and see. You lead the way ahead. I want to see what treasure Enhou has found this time?"

Jia She hurriedly led Prince Zhongjing to walk in. After passing through the forest of steles, there was a small door. When he opened the door, he found a small path. Jia She stepped back slightly and asked Prince Zhongjing to go first.Lord Zhongjing looked at the ground, stomped his feet first, nodded and walked forward.

The road is half paved, and it seems that the road starts at both ends and converges in the middle.The middle is disconnected and pulled with a rope to prevent people from passing by.At the end of the road, there were two or three workers paving the road with mud. They poured the still liquid mixture on the road surface bordered by wood, and then someone smoothed the road surface. Prince Zhongjing looked a little curious. Such a quiet road construction is rare. , It's a pity that the distance is too far to get a close look.

Prince Zhongjing had reached the end of the rope, turned his head and asked, "What's the meaning?" Jia She quickly stepped forward and said, "The only thing bad about this road is that it has to wait until the road surface is completely dry. That’s why I’m afraid that people will break in by mistake. If I really want to break in, the boots will be covered with mud, and if they are not cleaned in time, they will become dry and hard, making them useless.”

Lord Zhongjing nodded: "Then tell me how long this road will last? It only takes three days?" Jia She said: "This kind of small road can be done in one day instead of three days. Because of this, there are often people on the road. The place where the prince is standing now was repaired yesterday, if you come to see it tomorrow, the whole road should be repaired." Prince Zhong Jing nodded and said: "If so, I would like to see it even more Look at the road-building materials." After saying that, he boasted of the red rope and stepped forward.Naturally, Jia Amnesty was not easy to stop, so he also followed.

Jia Lian was directing craftsmen to build roads here.Seeing the prince's relatives coming and saluting quickly, he chose a clean place for him to settle down, and then said: "The prince's place is dusty, it's not clean, it's better not to go forward." The loyal prince saw that Jia Lian was happy He asked: "Didn't you follow the unveiling just now, why did you become a supervisor in a blink of an eye?"

Jia Lian also laughed and said, "Of course the prince is here to welcome you. But here he is the supervisor. To tell you the truth, the road repaired in this courtyard is also my supervision."

"I didn't expect you to have such a good thing? The road repair is really good. In the future, if there is a shortage in the Ministry of Industry, I think the Fuzhong can recommend you to serve the country and help you relieve your worries." Lord Zhongsheng said.When Jia Lian heard this, she immediately fell to her knees: "Thank you, my lord, for your love. I know I have little talent and learning, so I dare not ask the mansion to recommend me to the Ministry of Industry. I'm afraid it would be ridiculous and generous."

Prince Zhongsheng smiled: "If I remember correctly, then the two craftsmen from Persia who made glass in Zhang's mansion were also recommended by you. To have such a vision is a hundred times better than many people."

At this time, Jia Zheng, who was standing on the side, became ashamed when he heard this. Today, because the prince came, he asked for leave to accompany him. It would also be good to ask the prince to inscribe a word for Jiaxue, so I rushed here specially.

Unexpectedly, Prince Zhongjing mentioned this matter, thinking that the glass craftsman Jia Mu had also told me about it before, but I thought how such a trivial skill could be refined, so I didn't pay attention to it, but I didn't know that it was in line with the prince's mind.If I knew that I should write a note and report this matter, maybe it would be helpful to my career. Today, when I heard the old story mentioned by the prince again, I always felt something pointed, and I felt ashamed on my face.Seeing that the prince seems to be very interested in this road construction today, Jia Zheng is also a little dissatisfied.He thought to himself that Jia She, as the elder brother, knew that this way of building roads was good, so why couldn't he just tell himself as a favor and let him submit a book to make a contribution.Instead, Jia Lian was asked to handle the matter, because he really didn't take himself, a member of the Ministry of Industry, to his heart.This Jia Lian is also considered a smart man since he has passed the examination as a scholar, so he doesn't go to study, but wants to mess around in this mud soup, I don't know what the idea is.If Jia Lian also went to the Ministry of Industry in the future, where would he put his old face?Besides, it was the prince himself who spoke this time, Jia Amnesty was definitely planning to plot this matter, the more he thought about it, the angrier Jia Zheng felt.

Jia Lian was taken aback when he heard what the prince said. He had no intention of becoming an official. Making money and doing business was his interest. Originally, he thought it was interesting to offer the prescription. Besides, the prescription was not his own. Since the old lady and If my father said to give it, I would give it.Jia Lian thought to himself, maybe the old lady was afraid that she would be moved because of this road-building recipe that could make a lot of money every day, and she would not want to study anymore, so she let herself donate and sacrificed herself. That's the way of thinking.Otherwise, the dedication of the prescription clearly shows that brother Hu'er should be more suitable than himself.Besides, if he really went to the Ministry of Industry, wouldn't his uncle look ugly?Jia Lian hastily shied away and said: "The lord showed love, and that time he hit it right. I really dare not take credit for it. If you are spreading ashes here, why don't you ask the lord to move into the hall?"

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he felt faintly angry. Ordinarily, Jia Lian, why didn't your child come as you said!It was so easy for me to invite the prince here to watch the construction on site, why did you drive people back!Waiting for this matter to be settled with you kid, isn't it just a word to let you take an official career? Why are you so unwilling? It's really a headache!

Everyone in Jia's mansion was angry and angry, but Prince Zhongjing naturally didn't know.Lord Zhongjing said: "That's not necessary. Your way of building roads is considered clean. Lian'er, come and tell me whether the mud is a composite material?" The place where the material is made depends on the craftsman's operation, Jia Lian hurriedly walked a few steps to meet him.The followers behind naturally also wanted to move forward, but Lord Zhongjing turned his head and said to everyone: "This place is dusty, you just go to the hall and wait for me, don't stand here. Oh, Enhou, you also stay. "

After hearing this, the crowd didn't know whether to leave or stay. Seeing the crowd like this, Prince Zhongsheng waved his hand again and said: "You wait and go, I have something to discuss with Enhou." Only Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian and his son were left behind.

Prince Zhongjing asked a lot about the road construction, Jia Lian accompanied him and answered in detail, he knew everything without saying anything.At the end Zhongjing Wangye said: "Lian'er, do you know that this method is very good, if it can be widely spread, it will be a blessing to the country and the people. It is so detailed, are you afraid that I will learn this recipe?" Jia Lian listened to the prince. With these words, my heart is full of joy, it is best for the prince to speak up himself, otherwise I don't know how long it will take to abduct this prescription!Jia Lian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty just laughed. If this prescription is beneficial to the country and the people, the family will not dare to enjoy it to itself, and will donate it voluntarily." Hearing Jia Lian's words, Jia Amnesty was also relieved. Today's donation was successful. But it was worth the trouble of planning, so naturally a smile appeared on his face.Just about to say a few more words to add color to the flower of determination, who would have heard Prince Zhong Jing said: "Enhou, are you guilty?"

These words not only startled Jia She, but also made Jia Lian jump.Jia Lian hurriedly wondered if he had said something that offended the prince.At this moment, Jia Amnesty was busy pulling up his robe and wanted to kneel, but the prince stretched out his hand to hold him back, but Jia Lian knelt firmly.Prince Zhongjing said: "Lian'er, get up."

Jia Lian looked at her father, then at the prince, and got up when she saw that the prince was really not angry.At this time, Jia Lian listened to Prince Zhongjing and said, "It's not true that you invited me to unveil the inscription today, but it's true to invite me to see this road! Am I right?"

When Jia She saw that the lord had spoken clearly, he said with embarrassment on his face, "Your lord is really powerful. Our family only got this recipe occasionally. If this recipe is used to benefit the country and the people, or if it falls into the hands of individuals, it may be very dangerous. Some people have misguided thoughts. Now that the Jia family is eating the king's salary, they should share their worries for the king. It's better to report this."

Prince Zhongjing said: "The report can also be submitted. Although you are familiar with me, this matter can also be done in a business-like manner, so it doesn't have to be like this?"

Jia She frowned and said: "As the lord said, this matter is a matter of business. But the lord doesn't know. Recently, there are many nursery rhymes in Beijing, which seem to be aimed at the Jia family. I am also worried and don't know what to do. If this is the case It is also the offering from Jia's house, I don't know how it will be arranged. That's why I came up with this bad plan. I beg the prince to see that we are sincerely offering the prescription, and please forgive me." After saying Jia's amnesty, he knelt down again, and respected the prince again. He stopped him and said: "It's considered that you have spent your time waiting. It is a good thing, but if the good thing is covered with too many other things, it will inevitably change the taste. I accept this, and I also accept your father and son's wishes. It doesn’t have to be like this in the future.”

Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian said yes again and again.Prince Zhongjing smiled and said: "You shouldn't keep them waiting too long, let's go back, and you can send this craftsman to my house tomorrow." Jia Amnesty hurriedly agreed again.

The three of them walked to the forest of steles again in a blink of an eye, Prince Zhong Jing remembered something and said: "Your family will soon have a happy event, it's better to prepare earlier."

The author has something to say: Shi Feier: I didn't even use soy sauce this time.

Chocolate crisper: That's great, save worry and effort.

Shi Feier: Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Chocolate Crusher: I will go back after telling you a hundred times with all my heart.
