Winning every step of the Red Mansion

254

Jia Zhen went to look for Jia Jing, and wanted her father to persuade her, so that Jia Amnesty would no longer be obsessed with the division of the clan, but unexpectedly, Jia Jing said that this was a common thing, and there was no need to bother her in the future.Jia Zhen was annoyed, and when she returned home, she heard that Jia's mother's attitude was far-fetched, and she sighed again and again, so she had to drink to relieve her sorrow.After all, even though Jia Amnesty doesn't care about the family affairs now, many members of the clan have benefited from what he has done. Even Jia Jing can't move this matter, so who can help persuade him?

Jia Zhen was bored drinking in the mansion, and someone came to report that it was Jia Dairu who had found her. Jia Zhen wondered that the old man was not at home to give birth. Why did she come to her mansion today when it was not a festival? There is something to come to find yourself.Jia Zhen was originally irritable and didn't want to find an excuse to disappear, but Jia Dairu is her elder after all, and if he wants to divide the clan, he must be invited to be present.It's better to tell him, after all, he can be regarded as Jia She's elder, anyway, he can overwhelm him in terms of seniority. Thinking of this, Jia Zhen hurriedly ordered someone to invite him here.

Jia Dairu is now very old, so he had no choice but to come to see Jia Zhen today.Since I was cleared out by Jia's family, without Su Xiu, the family's income has decreased a lot.After all, there are few people in the family, even if there are family members to help, life can be considered passable.In the early days, I was worried about being cleared out by my family, but I saw that none of the masters invited by Jia's mansion were not two-ranked Jinshi, and their knowledge was much better than that of myself who had no fame.Naturally, Jia Dairu also felt that he had lost face, and would never go to the Rongguo Mansion again for no serious matter.But now my only golden grandson is not successful in his studies, and he doesn't make progress even though he is forced to do it every day. Although he is studying at home, he still fails to pass the exam.Jia Dairu thought it was not an option for such a long time, after all, now that he is old, it is still important to find a way out for him, although logically he should seek Jia's amnesty, but because of his family education, he really can't bear to let this old face go , so today I came to look for Jia Zhen.After all, Jia Zhen is now her grandchildren, so she should respect her elders no matter what!

Jia Zhen was also considered respectful, she personally welcomed Jia Dairu into the study, and invited him to sit on it, Jia Dairu was quite useful, and she couldn't help but give Jia Zhen a high look in her heart.

Jia Zhen also took her seat, ordered someone to serve tea, and then asked, "The old man came here on purpose today. I don't know why? If the old man has something to do, just send someone to give a message. Why do you have to run away in person?" Such a trip. We who are juniors should go to visit."

Jia Zhen's words were humble, and Jia Dairu listened to them even more, he secretly admired Jia Zhen's understanding of etiquette and respect for the elderly, thinking in his heart that today's matter should be possible.But after all, today when she went to the mansion to ask for help, she still lost her confidence and said, "I haven't come to see it for a long time, today I just happen to be free, so come here and walk around, and just talk some gossip." I am not in a hurry, I just want to use Jia Dairu to act, so I sighed after thinking about it: "The old man is right, I should have waited to visit you, but now everything in the mansion is complicated, I still have to take care of you." If you are on an errand, the affairs of the clan will not be well taken care of, alas..."

Jia Dairu didn't know that Jia Zhen was using an excuse to lead the conversation to the matter of clan division, so he fell into the trap when he heard Jia Zhen's words, and continued: "I know you are busy, so you don't have to worry about it. There are a lot of people in the clan, so it is natural for you to be negligent occasionally. You don’t have to pay too much attention to it. In the past, the things you did were watched by everyone in the clan. It’s not bad that He Fuli managed it like this.”

Seeing Jia Dairu pick up the words, Jia Zhen sighed and said: "Oh! You don't know something. I'm in charge of the affairs of the clan, so I don't always think carefully. It would be great if everyone is as reasonable as you old man. Now there is one thing that is worrying me to death, I thought to myself that I am young and I did not do things well, so I might as well quit this clan affairs early, so that I can get a good reputation."

As soon as Jia Zhen said this, Jia Dairu was taken aback, and hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Of course people in the clan have different thoughts. It's not bad that you have done this, but it might not be like you if someone else changed. Now even if it is your uncle Jia She Now it's a rumor, but in fact, he is far inferior to you at your age!"

Hearing that Jia Dairu talked about Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen was overjoyed, but her face was still full of sadness and sighed again and again.Jia Dairu looked at it even more strangely, so he asked why?Jia Zhen sighed and said: "You don't know, my uncle is arguing to split the clan with me now!" After speaking, Jia Zhen wiped her face with her sleeve, as if to wipe away tears.Jia Dairu was shocked when he heard this, he jumped up from his chair and said, "You, what did you just say? Jia pardoned him for wanting to divide the clan!"

Jia Zhen cried and said: "I know that I did not do well. But I knelt down and begged my uncle to not let him take it back. What an honor it is for the Jia family to be separated from each other. How can I go to see my ancestors of the Jia family!" Jia Zhen said that she was sad, and she beat her chest and feet, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Jia Dairu stood up, slapped the table with his hands, and said with a bang: "How can this be! How can this be! How can this be good! How can this be good?"

Jia Zhen hurriedly walked to Jia Dairu's side and asked him to sit down, then slowly said: "Now my uncle asked me to handle the matter of dividing the clan on the tenth day of this month. You are an elder in the clan, please help me to explain it. " After finishing speaking, Jia Zhen lifted her robe and knelt down in front of Jia Dairu.When Jia Dairu saw him, he quickly helped Jia Zhen up and said, "For such a big matter, don't say that you beg me. Even if you don't ask me, I will go and discuss it with Jia Amnesty. This matter of clan division is a big matter, how can you rely on it?" Temporary anger? This is his fault!"

Jia Zhen was secretly delighted, this Jia Dairu was a senior and pedantic in the first place, it would be best for him to persuade him about such things, and it would be best if he could bring a few people to go with him.It's a pity that there are not many clansmen in his generation now, and those who are farther away have returned to their ancestral home. If they invite people from Jinling, it may be beyond their reach.For today's plan, let's procrastinate for a while.

Jia Dairu babbled on for a while before giving up.Suddenly remembering that I hadn't said anything about going to the mansion to ask Jia Zhen today, she said to Jia Zhen, "I have one more thing to ask when I go to the mansion today." To put it bluntly, if my grandchildren can serve, I should do my best."

Jia Zhen's words made Jia Dairu really feel at ease. Jia Dairu said: "It's not a big deal, it's just a matter of little effort for you. Now that my grandson is growing up, his studies are still poor. I think it's better to find him an errand." It can be regarded as a way out in the future. Seeing that there are many things in the clan, if there is anything that can help him to share, just teach him one or two things." Jia Zhen naturally agreed again and again after hearing this, saying After this matter is settled, we can see if there is anything suitable for Jia Rui in the family, and then arrange for him to agree.After hearing this, Jia Dairu felt relieved.Say goodbye to Jia Zhen and come to Rongguo Mansion to find Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty knew that he would not be at peace these few days, so he went to Lanshu Pavilion to hide today. Anyway, he had already supported Jia Mu and his wife, and he would continue to travel between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households tomorrow, so he decided to go early. rest.

When Jia Dairu went to Rongguo Mansion, he couldn't find Jia Amnesty, but his disciples told him that Jia Amnesty had already left the mansion, and he didn't know where he was?The hour has not yet returned.Jia Dairu naturally didn't believe it, and believed that Jia Amnesty was hiding because he was afraid of someone coming to intercede.No matter how much he tried to persuade him, he couldn't persuade him to leave, and the manager had no choice but to invite him into the mansion and let him wait in Jia She's study for an hour.Seeing that Jia Amnesty still did not show up, Jia Dairu walked away angrily.He said he would look for him tomorrow morning to see if he was there or not!The steward was also helpless, so he had to agree.Sure enough, Jia Dairu came early the next morning, but Jia She was still not found, and the steward invited him into the study. He stayed in the study all morning, but still did not see Jia She.

After Jia Amnesty and Prince Zhongjing had a secret discussion, they rode to the Ministry of War early the next morning.He didn't see Prince Yizhong today, so Jia Amnesty went directly to look for Song Faxian, the minister of the Ministry of War. Maybe he was early again and waited for a long time before seeing him.When Song Faxian saw Jia She, he hurriedly let Jia She into the room like yesterday, and said, "Thank you General Jia, you came so early today, what's the matter?"

Jia She thought to himself, are you pretending to be confused?Still really confused?Didn't you say yesterday that the roster will be good today?Naturally, Jia Amnesty couldn't speak directly like this, so he cupped his hands and said, "Master Song, I'm here to get the roster today. After all, the military affairs are urgent, and Jia is a novice, so I'm afraid it will be delayed. I don't know if Master Song can take it." Is it on the roster?"

Hearing what Jia She said, Song Faxian quickly clapped his hands and said, "Oh, General Jia, look at my memory, but today Junshen Tian has not returned the roster. General Jia, why don't I receive the roster and send it to your house How are you?"

Jia Amnesty shook his head and said, "Don't dare to bother Mr. Song. Mr. Song has many things to do, and I, Jia, have only one errand, so I'll just wait here. Mr. Song, go and do your work, don't worry about me. I've got it." The roster has to go to the household department to wait for the approval of the money. You don't know that I went to the household department yesterday..." Jia She shook his head again and again.

Song Faxian laughed and said: "General Jia understands the suffering of our military department this time. It is really too difficult to get money." Jia Amnesty also agreed with him, and the two chattered a few more words. At that time, the Tian army arrived, and saw the two men handing over the list in their hands, saying: "My lord, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass are going first. Now we are ready to go, and the food and grass are short. I also ask General Jia to be more sympathetic to our soldiers and generals." " Jia She nodded, held the roster in his hand and opened it, glanced quickly and turned to the end to check the total. As expected, today's number has increased compared with yesterday's, and it is clearly stated that it needs to be 450 Ten thousand taels.Jia Shexin said that another 60 taels were born that night, and he didn't know if he was too sloppy before, or he was too easy to fool about it, this is much faster than making money.

Seeing that Jia Amnesty was holding the roster in his hands, Tian Jun said nothing, "General Jia must not delay this matter, please pay more attention." After hearing the roster, Jia Amnesty cupped his hands at the two of them and said, "But it is so, I dare not Delayed. I will go to the Ministry of Households to find a way to approve the money."
