Jia Minqi's family in the Red Chamber

When Jia Zheng came out of the palace, his legs were still weak when he returned to the mansion.He even walked into the study slowly and sat down on his own seat, the hand holding the tea was still shaking.

His heart was pounding even more.As a fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Industry who seldom sees Tian Yan, the last time Mian Jun was the matchmaker between Yin Ze and Yuan Chun in person.

At the same time, in Jia Zhu's study, it was heard that the second master was summoned by the sage, and now he went home and plunged into the study without any movement. Jia Lian was a little worried, and asked his cousin Jia Zhu, "Let's persuade him advise?"

Youdao is difficult to support alone. Jia Zhu thinks that without the intelligence and courage of his grandfather, he can support the whole family by himself, so it is inevitable to make friends with brothers who are also motivated. The two brothers just help each other.

And the first step in making a good relationship is often to treat it with sincerity.

To be honest, his father, Jia Zheng, was implicated by the Sun family, and Jia Zhu didn't think his father would be able to survive this disaster.So he told Jia Lian his opinion truthfully, and did not forget to reveal a little news, "The one who sent me the news just now was the eldest follower of my uncle's family. In fact... when the imperial history was written, I told my uncle Excuse me."

Why didn't the uncle help the second uncle... Jia Lian would not have asked such stupid things a long time ago: the uncle is not only the vanguard to clean up the Sun family, but at least he is also a backbone.The second uncle secretly communicated with the Sun family for a song earlier, and everyone knew about it, and even his uncle wrote to him to remind him.

There are many courtiers who are optimistic about the prince. After all, they have been the heir for many years and are good at handling government affairs; but there are many people who dislike the Sun family... there are not a few.

Old Mrs. Sun is gone, Ding You, the grand master of the Sun family, most of the influence of the Sun family has dissipated in a blink of an eye, those who climbed up with the legs of the Sun family in the past, especially those who are not stable, will definitely be the first to be swept down .

Resigning from office is definitely a wise move.The resignation of the second uncle, who had been involved with the Sun family, would benefit both his and his eldest brother's careers. Thinking of this, Jia Lian couldn't open his mouth even more, and at the same time felt a little embarrassed.

Jia Zhu definitely sees deeper and farther than Jia Lian: my father resigns, and my uncle is happy to see it happen.My family will also follow my father to enjoy behind closed doors at home, and will be separated from the prince.

Looking at such a "simple" cousin, Jia Lian pointed out, "You are also the nephew of my uncle and aunt."

To put it bluntly, it is difficult to climb high and go far as an official without a backing.Only relying on the uncle of the cousin is not enough to guarantee the official career.

Jia Lian was taken aback: he thought that his cousin deliberately separated the two brothers in front of his uncle and aunt...he didn't mind either, after all, his uncle and aunt did prefer the educated cousin.

Hearing Jia Zhu's words suddenly, he suddenly felt guilty for being a villain in vain.

In other words, Jia Zheng, who had no intention of changing the court clothes when he returned home, didn't realize what his son and nephew were thinking.Go say something nice to your brother-in-law, he won't just sit idly by, right?

Although he was in a mess when he met the gentleman, he came up with a solution after sitting at home for a while.Ever since he had some displeasure with his brother-in-law and sister because of Jia Yucun's matter, when he wrote to him, his brother-in-law and sister were only willing to chat with him about family affairs, but they never got a reply when it involved a little ~ political ~ matter ~ court affairs.

Jia Zheng didn't have any self-knowledge, and he was afraid that he would be rejected if he went directly to his brother-in-law, and he couldn't succeed in cheating his sister back... He suddenly felt a little melancholy: How did he and his sister-in-law get to this point...

Feeling melancholy, Jia Zheng still refused to hand over the black yarn on his head without any struggle, although he knew that resigning from office would save him all the troubles he had caused in the past.

But he couldn't bear it.

The political master, who seems to be indifferent and does not admire power, spent a total of more than [-] silver in order to get promoted and find a backer.

For such a large sum of money, how could Jia Zheng be reconciled before exhausting all means?He didn't even send a message to Mrs. Wang, and made up his mind and went straight to his mother's yard.

There is a saying that you should go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, and it is not the time to make peace in the morning and evening.

As soon as Jia's mother heard the report from the mandarin duck, she knew that her second son must be in trouble, so she came to ask for advice.

Jia Zheng met his mother first, and he didn't hide it when he got up. "The Ministry of Industry has not been able to match the accounts for repairing the dams along the Qiantang River in recent years. Most of the money has been corrupted by the Sun family. The son...and all the colleagues know about it. Today, the Holy Majesty summoned... ...just asking about it."

The son had flattered the Sun family, but now that the Sun family was about to collapse, the son was implicated.

Why can't Mother Jia understand this?She didn't say anything for a while, until Jia Zheng couldn't help looking up, and she said, "What are your plans?"

Jia Zheng said in a low voice, "My son wants to ask my brother-in-law if there is any other way."

Mother Jia asked, "Did your brother-in-law say nothing?"

Jia Zhengrao has been an official for many years, and his face became hot when he heard the words, "He...is too busy to take care of himself, maybe there is nothing he can do."

It's not a day or two for a son to get close to his brother-in-law and alienate his brother-in-law!Mother Jia has been displeased with this matter for a long time: the son even has grandsons, so it is not easy to teach him.

Jia Mu deliberately asked, "Really?"

Jia Zheng's face was extremely unnatural, and he said reluctantly, "Yes."

The eldest brother-in-law Wang Ziteng has already climbed into the Rong family, and he will definitely be able to keep his official position. If he is said to give him a hand, it is probably useless.It was only after spending money that he learned the news.

Jia's mother shook her head: she saw her son's duplicity.What kind of character is Wang Ziteng, can't you see it these days?He is "overwhelmed by himself", and you still expect him to draw his sword to help?

In the previous life, the promising daughter, son-in-law and eldest grandson all died young, and neither of the two sons could be counted on. Except for relying on Mrs. Wang and sister-in-law Wang Xifeng, the old lady could only pin her hopes on Baoyu, who had a vision up.

In this life, Jia's mother did not say that her daughter and grandson would obey her words, so there were many more channels for news.Jia's mother said decisively: "I will call your sister, brother-in-law and family to visit in a few days."

"This..." Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "I'm afraid it's too late."

"Confused!" Mother Jia sternly said, "The situation is unclear now, and we don't know whether your brother-in-law is safe or not. If he is not safe, what should we do?"

Jia Zheng was speechless, so he came out of his mother's yard in despair.

Hearing the news sent by the mandarin duck, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian looked at each other and smiled, even the bitterness in the smiles was exactly the same.

As Yuan Chun said, when you ask for help, you must have an attitude of asking for help.I want to ask my uncle, but I can't bear to let go of my value... It's only natural that my uncle doesn't help you.

Jia Lian went back to his room full of worries. After drinking tea to moisten his throat, Sister Feng went up to help him change his clothes.

In this life, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's sister-in-law and nephew both made a fool of themselves because of excessively subsidizing their natal family. The power of giving in the mansion has long since fallen into the hands of Li Wan.At the same time, above the two sisters-in-law, Jia Mu, the old ancestor, was sitting in the town, and the sister-in-law Yuan Chun, who was about to marry into the clan, was watching.

The entire Rong Mansion is more or less bullying, and Sister Feng is one of the "outstanding" ones, but I have to admit that bullying people are often more "flexible".

Father went to government, uncle didn't reach out, and the movement in the mansion these years, Sister Feng was convinced of two things: Uncle Wang Ziteng probably couldn't offend uncle Lin Hai; But...they are happy to support their juniors.

So Sister Feng didn't have a chance to do any of those outrageous things in her previous life, and she didn't have the courage to do them at the same time.

Having said that, with the mountains above her head, Sister Feng did not dare to act recklessly. On the contrary, she is not as ruthless as in her previous life, and her hostility is not severe, but the dexterity and brilliance are not as good as in her previous life... This is what you gain and what you lose.

From Jia Lian's point of view, the daughter-in-law has been well-behaved and caring ever since her father-in-law lost his job and sincerely admitted his mistake in front of the whole family.Jia Lian really loves Sister Feng, so he is happy to talk more about himself to Sister Feng.

So the first thing he said was, "Second Uncle, that official... wants to hang up."

Sister Feng didn't hide anything, and said directly, "Sure enough."

Jia Lian was surprised: "How do you know?"

"I went to Sister Yuanchun's place to sit in the afternoon. It happened that she had just finished reading the letter that Erye Yin had written to her, so she mentioned something to me. The implication is that the second master may not feel at ease in court."

Yuan Chun is much more familiar with Sister Feng than sister-in-law Li Wan.

Jia Lian laughed when she heard this, "My girl is really good." If she is not good enough, can she come out of the palace with her beard and tail? "I listened to what my elder brother meant. If my uncle doesn't become a Beijing official this time, my elder brother will still follow me."

Speaking of this, Sister Feng is somewhat jealous, but after all, she will not easily provoke the relationship between the two brothers... In the future, I am afraid that there will be many times when she counts on her elder brother.

"After sister Yuanchun gets married, we have to go to the Southwest to take up the post?" This is knowingly asking, the date of Jia Lian's appointment is clearly written in black and white in the Ministry of War documents, just ten days after Yuanchun's big wedding.

Jia Lian heard something in Sister Feng's words, "How do you say it?"

"We're in the southwest, how can we communicate with big brother?"

"Write a letter." Jia Lian blurted out, and after a while finally realized what Sister Feng meant, "You mean..."

Sister Feng continued: "We can't just expect to know what's going on in Beijing from uncle. Sister Yuanchun is well-informed..."

What she meant was that the letters from the three brothers and sisters were as usual, but Wenrou must live in Yuanchun House in the capital to sort out and summarize the news and send it to the two elder brothers on a regular basis.

She has a good idea.After hearing this, Jia Lian's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help calling Yuan Chun out, and they went to Jia Zhu's study to discuss carefully.

None of the three brothers and sisters thought that Yuan Chun had to be a daughter-in-law honestly when she married into the palace. Be a little more cautious: she has the wit and the means, and the nurturing husband.

Yuan Chun is very happy to help her brother: one of the two brothers is in the northwest and the other is in the southwest. If there is any news, he will tell her as soon as possible, and it will also allow her to add a helping hand to his future husband.

For this reason, Yuanchun also thanked Sister Feng seriously.

However, Lin Fu, who had been closing the door to thank guests, finally waited for the paperwork... The Hangzhou Fu Cheng captured by Han Qi finally collapsed after learning of the death of Mrs. Sun, and confided everything.

Zhejiang Xia tax deficit, although anyone with a discerning eye knows who is the culprit, but before the case is closed, strictly speaking, Lin Hai is also waiting for the crime.

It’s just that this body of punishment, not only the officials in Zhejiang, the two imperial princes, and even the emperor don’t care, but Lin Hai in the capital is on guard against someone who suddenly jumps out to make use of it—after all, the old grandpa of the Sun family has just passed away, and many Everyone's nerves are tense, and when people are extremely nervous, they tend to go too far.

So Lin Hai discussed with Jia Min about the itinerary for the next few days: I must go to the master's mansion, as for the Rong mansion... we can wait, although Jia Min misses his mother very much.

Gein and his wife have exactly the same intentions: they don't want to save Jia Zheng's...official career.However, the mother and daughter have not seen each other, but the news exchanges are very frequent. Don't forget that Jia Min has three good lobbyists, Jia Zhu, Jia Lian and Yuan Chun.

Naturally, the three brothers and sisters would not directly persuade Jia Mu to let Jia Zheng resign, but would show Jia Mu what Jia Zheng had secretly done over the years.

Before seeing half of it, Jia's mother decisively decided to let her son quickly leave the seat to her precious grandson: it's not that Jia Zheng spent more than [-] silver to manage everywhere, but that his son was eager for quick success and gave money to the family , and that family has now confiscated the family and seized the title, the men have been exiled, and there are only a few women and children left in the family.

If this old account is brought out, the combined punishment of the two crimes will not be a matter of resignation!

A few days later, on the auspicious day of Yuanchun's wedding, when relatives and friends were congratulating, Jia Zheng smiled very reluctantly, and Mrs. Wang also smiled stiffly, clearly showing mixed emotions.

But all the guests had different expressions, most of them seemed to be waiting for a good show.
