Winning every step of the Red Mansion

After Jia Zheng was rescued, he rested in Jizhou for a few days, his complexion relaxed, and Jia Zhu was relieved to let him go on the road.Along the way, Jia Zhu didn't dare to rush too much, for fear that Jia Zheng would be tired from the haste.Jia Zheng was eager to return home, and now he didn't think about anything else, only one thought remained: to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and return to the mansion as soon as possible.But Jia Zhu was thinking about it.It was really hard for Jia Zheng to refuse Jia Zhu's filial piety, so he had no choice but to comply.

It was only after he had worked hard along the way that Jia Zhu told Jia Zheng all the things that happened to him in Beijing's mansion in the past few months.Jia Zheng heard that Prince Yizhong's siege rebellion was quelled, the emperor abdicated, and now it is the former Prince Zhongjing who ascended to the great treasure. The stone finally fell to the ground.It's just a little strange in my heart, why Jia Zhu didn't mention the award in the mansion. After all, I had to go through a lot of trouble to send the letter back. It should be a great achievement. Then I thought about it, maybe it was because my whereabouts were unknown , so it is not easy to reward, this time I went back and wrote the memorial, the new emperor should be exempted from punishing myself for failing to take office after the deadline, Jia Zheng secretly planned.

Jia Zhu also told how Jia's mother spent all her money to save people this time, and how to advise herself to let him go with the bulldog; how Mrs. Wang couldn't sleep at night, and she shed tears day and night; I was afraid that Jia's mother would be worried that he and his uncle would sell their property to raise money, and so on, so they made it clear to Jia Zheng.

After hearing this, Jia Zheng was filled with emotion.I usually don't like my elder brother.Originally, he was just a dandy, and it was not easy to be an official or study every day. It was because he crawled out of his mother's belly two years earlier than himself, so all the prosperous titles of Rongguo Mansion belonged to him.When thinking about this matter, Jia Zheng always felt unbalanced in his heart. He always felt that such a person took over such a large family business by luck, and in the end he didn't know what it would be like to ruin the government.But I don't know why in the past ten years or so, my brother has gradually accepted his old dandyism, and has become more pragmatic and willing to do things.After these years, Jia's mansion is getting better and better, both in terms of family business and reputation outside, it is stronger than earlier years.In this way, it made him even more inferior.This made Jia Zheng even more unhappy. After all, there was an excuse in the past, but now there is no such excuse.

Originally, I was also angry in my heart, and I wanted to be a second-term official with foreign appointments, so as to reflect my abilities, so that I would not always be burdened with the name of a wealthy son with a poor official career.Unexpectedly, after listening to Jia Zhu's story about the past this time, Jia Zheng felt a little grateful for his elder brother.After all, the family has been separated now, but when I encountered such a thing, Jia Amnesty actually paid out the money, and even sold the ancestral property to make up for it. If this matter were changed, I might not be able to do so.

When everyone returned to the mansion, it was natural to welcome Jia Zheng.The banquet was over, and Jia Zheng went to pay his respects to Jia's mother. Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhu also accompanied him.Shi Feier saw that Jia Zheng was much more haggard than before.I also know that Jia Zhengding has suffered a lot this trip.Jia Zhu then told Jia's mother what had happened in detail.Shi Feier was also shocked when he heard that, if it is true that one move is wrong, the whole game will be lost.

Jia Amnesty had something on his mind, seeing Jia Zheng's return, he felt that the old lady still had something to say, so he left first.Shi Feier and Jia Zhu also talked for a while, and then found an excuse to let him go to rest first.Jia Zheng felt a little strange at this time, Jia's mother seldom left herself to talk alone these years, Jia Zheng felt a little uncomfortable.

Shi Feier asked Jia Zheng to sit down, asked the maid to make tea, and then asked everyone in the room to go out.Jia Zheng thought to himself, this time something like this would probably make Jia's mother worry too much, so let's comfort him for a while.Jia Zheng was thinking about it when he heard Jia's mother say, "Tell me, what's your plan after today?"

Jia Zheng who said this was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at Jia's mother. He never expected Jia's mother to say this.As for future plans, it's not like Jia Zheng didn't think about it at all. Although he didn't take up the post after the deadline, after all, there was a reason for the incident, and he planned to report the truth. It is unlikely that the official will be reinstated. It should be possible to find another official.Thinking of this, Jia Zheng gave a general idea of ​​what was in his mind.

Shi Feier shook her head repeatedly after hearing this, thinking why Jia Zheng is so obsessed with being an official?If you have the ability, you can pay it back, but you are an embryo who is not good at being an official, so why can't you just make appointments honestly, stay well, make less right and wrong, and let yourself spend less time.

Seeing Jia Mu shaking her head, Jia Zheng knew that what he said was not in line with Jia Mu's wishes.I am also wondering, what if it is not the case?Shi Fei'er looked at Jia Zheng with a puzzled look on his face and said, "How do you think Zhu'er handled this matter?"

When Jia Zhu was mentioned, Jia Zheng nodded and said, "Zhu'er acted carefully and carefully. If he hadn't done it right this time, I don't know what the result would be."

Shi Fei'er nodded and said: "That's true, Zhu'er has some considerations for an official in her actions." Shi Fei'er continued: "The reason I discussed with your wife and brother before was to capture the rebels. , if you write this matter down and report it again, it will be a matter of losing face for you, but will the censor Yanguan write a book because of this, and sue him for privately transferring soldiers because of his personal grievances?"

Jia Zheng was taken aback for a moment, but Jia Zhu and Qin Lang mentioned something that day, but they didn't care because they were too drunk, so it must be because of this.At this time, Jia Zheng agreed with what Jia's mother said in his heart. Wang Ziteng saved himself, and he must not write a book by himself and sell it instead.

Seeing that he listened to it, Shi Feier said again: "Secondly, the mansion did not report to the officials that you were kidnapped and blackmailed by the bandits. I don't know the reason for this, but you must know it. We just informed the authorities of you. Before going to the post, suddenly there was no news."

Jia Zheng couldn't help frowning, and then he thought about it, he was kidnapped and blackmailed by the kidnappers, but spreading the word would hurt the face of the family and the royal family.Jia Zheng couldn't help sighing softly.

"One more thing, I want to tell you that we have guessed the meaning of your letter, but it was destroyed according to my intention, and it was not reported. This matter is known to me and your brother, and the rest of the people Even your wife doesn't know."

These words were like a thunderclap, Jia Zheng looked at Jia Mu in disbelief.Shi Feier didn't care, took a sip of tea and said, "Yu Xin, I am very grateful to you for writing that letter. But this is the only way for the entire Jia Mansion, as if it never existed, it is good for everyone. You say yes or no."

Jia Zheng was stunned, and nodded after a long silence, with a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

Shi Fei'er looked at Jia Zheng and said, "Today it's you and my mother and son. I might as well tell the truth, neither you nor your elder brother have the talent to be an official. It doesn't matter if you are in a low position, but if you go up It's really not easy. So why don't you find someone with your own expertise to do it. You see, your brother is still listening to advice. It's not bad to have a idle job all these years and spend your mind on other things. I thought you would eat so much this time. What a pain, maybe I can be indifferent to this matter of being an official."

Both Jia Zheng and Shi Fei'er fell into silence, and they both drank tea in silence. After a while, Jia Zheng said: "Now that I come back to the mansion, my relatives and friends will always know one or two..." Jia Zheng paused Look at Mother Jia.

Shi Fei'er nodded and said: "That's natural. I troubled many relatives and friends at the beginning, and now I have a letter to tell. I was sick after a long journey on the mountain road, and I was recuperating in the temple for a while. I couldn't deliver the letter due to the chaos of the war, it was so easy, and I couldn't take up the post after the deadline, so I had to go back to Beijing to plead guilty." Shi Fei'er finished speaking every word, and looked at Jia Zheng.

Although Jia Zheng said he was unwilling, he couldn't say anything more.Shi Fei'er saw that his face was not reconciled, and said: "Do you know what the people outside the house think of our house? I heard a saying: good shoots come out of bad bamboos. That's fine, your Zhu'er is good, but the following There are still two. It’s better to spend more time. If you are like Zhu’er and Hu’er in the future, who doesn’t like it, what I mean is right?”

Jia Zheng agreed with this statement, after all, Jia Zhu really impressed him this time.If the bottom two are like Zhu'er, I will not worry in the future.Jia Zheng suddenly remembered that Jia Baoyu looked a bit like my father today, and hoped that he could be as talented as my father.Two days later, Jia Zheng took a pen and wrote an excerpt to plead guilty. After a while, there was an order from the Holy Spirit, but Jia Zheng was not severely punished, but just demoted to a higher level.

Jia's mansion finally passed two days of Anniversary Day, and only Jia She in the whole mansion was in a state of turmoil. Jia Hu's self-assessment and decision to postpone the marriage by one year did not receive any feedback from above. What is going on?Jia Amnesty felt that his heart was tied in his throat by a rope every day these days.On this day, someone suddenly came from the palace and announced Jia She and Jia Hu. This time, Jia She's heart fell from his throat to the ground.

The mansion is also a little nervous, but the people in the palace are very tight, so naturally they keep silent, so they can only find out when they come back.Jia Amnesty and Jia Hu were led into the palace by the palace servants to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Jia Amnesty went in and found that in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, not only the emperor was sitting behind the desk, but also the Nine Princes were sitting on the dragon pier beside him.Jia Amnesty's face turned pale at this moment, thinking in his heart that this time there might really be a catastrophe.

The two came in to pay a big gift, the emperor did not raise his head after the book case, nor did he give them peace, he was reviewing the memorial with a memorial in his hand.Naturally, Jia Amnesty didn't dare to raise his head, the two of them knelt for a while, only then did they hear the Emperor throw the memorial in his hands aside, and said, "Your Jia family is really capable now!"

When Jia She heard this, he complained even more in his heart, today is really hard!
