old lady in red

Emperor Jiahe said: "I know the purpose of your visit, Rong Guogong is the pillar of the imperial court, he has made contributions to the country and owed me favors.

10 taels is my reward to Duke Rong. "

Shi Mei and Jia She were busy thanking each other.

Emperor Jiahe looked at Jia Amnesty: "Located in March, ambushed Jiang Heng, very tenacious, Gansu officials, more than half of the people involved in the case. Jia Amnesty, would you like to share my worries?"

When Shi Mei heard this, she knelt down and bowed immediately: "Your Majesty, Jia She is not very experienced in the world, and his talents are not enough to be able to sit in charge..."

Wang Ziteng did not conceal the credit of Jia She, so the hatred between Jia She and Jiang Heng was forged.

A hundred-footed worm is dead but not stiff.

Jiang Heng has been in Gansu for many years, and he always has a few confidantes.

Jia Amnesty went to Gansu to ask for death.

Furthermore, no one knows that Gansu will have another few years of drought?

This is a sinkhole!

If it is not done well, the whole family will have to ride in it.

Never jump!

Emperor Jiahe stared at Jia She: "What do you say?"

What can Jia Amnesty say?

Do you dare to put down the pick if you eat the imperial salary and become an official of the imperial court?

Jia Amnesty said: "Your Majesty will not give up, and my humble minister will be devastated."

Shi Mei gasped.

She knew: Give you a handful of grass, and you have to carry it for thousands of miles.

Shi Mei paid her respects and said, "Your Majesty, my wife has only two sons, and the Duke suddenly let go of him. The two children are just two confused lambs. If his father is here, my wife will have nothing to say.

The minister's wife knows that women cannot interfere in politics, as long as His Majesty shows mercy, the minister's wife is willing to accept punishment. "

When Jia She heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please tell me that my minister's mother doesn't understand the court's laws and regulations. If she doesn't know, she is not guilty. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy. I am willing to bear the responsibility for my mother."

The lightest punishment for a lady's disrespect in front of her is to open her mouth twenty times.

Instead of beating them with hands, they beat them with wooden chips.

Emperor Jiahe stared at Shi Mei and said, "You are so courageous, how dare you refute me!"

At this time, everything that should not be said has been said. Instead of getting involved in the future, the whole family locks it up and simply gives it a go.

Shi Mei played again: "Your Majesty clearly learned that the concubines are not pleading for the Rong family, but for the tens of millions of people in Gansu.

Jia Amnesty's talent is not enough to be the parents of tens of thousands of people, please consider it! "

Emperor Jiahe suddenly said: "Mrs. Rong Guo, raise your head!"

Shi Mei raised her head slowly, looking at Shang Jia and Di Long.

Emperor Jiahe's eyes were like lightning, and he approached directly.

Shi Mei was like a thousand pieces of gold pressing down on the top, her waist was overwhelmed, and she threw herself to the ground with a plop.

From an outsider's point of view, Shi Mei seemed to be frightened, and was begging for mercy.

Shi Mei knew that at this moment, she was overwhelmed by Emperor Jiahe's Long Sha and had to bow her head.

Shi Mei had a feeling that if she resisted hard, her neck and waist would be broken.

Emperor Jiahe looked at Shimei's great gift, and suddenly laughed: "You, a woman, know that Jia She is not deep in the world, has insufficient qualifications, and lacks talent. I don't know, and how can I just play this game and hand over the military administration of a province to you?" A child with a yellow mouth?

Get flat. "

Mother and son thank you.

But Shi Mei could hardly stand up, she could only stand up with Jia She's support.

Emperor Jiahe suddenly said: "Yan'er, send Mrs. Rong out for me."

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

The guard in golden armor in front of the Golden Luan Hall turned out to be Marquis Yan.

Shi Mei came out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation almost under the grip of Jia She and Yan Hou.

Shi Mei was drenched in cold sweat thinking: This Hall of Mental Cultivation, unless summoned by the imperial decree, she will never fall into the trap again.

At that time, we arrived at Xihua Gate.

Shi Mei boarded her family's Zhulun carriage.

Yan Hou handed over the Panlong jade pendant, then leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty intends to select a group of meritorious clan children to go to the south of the Yangtze River to rectify the administration of officials and inspect government affairs. Deputy General Hangzhou will be transferred to be the commander of Gansu, and the general will be promoted. So Hangzhou lacks a third-rank general..."

Jia Amnesty pointed to his nose: "Commander? Not a commander?"

Yanhou reached out and patted Jia She: "You are so beautiful.

Although the grades are the same, the commander is the highest local commander. Even in Gansu, there are 6000 to [-] people under his command.

The participating generals are different, there are generals and deputy generals on their heads, and the long man is holding the sky. "

After saying that, he patted Jia Amnesty: "Do you want to do it?"

Jia Amnesty frowned, "What's the matter with you driving me out of Beijing? I'm not in your way, am I?"

Yanhou whispered: "Anyway, you will know at the beginning of the new year, brother will be let go of his post, and Zhejiang's inspector will be vacant..."

Shi Mei had regained her composure at this time, and interjected, "She'er is lucky to have a friend like Marquis Yan, and if he is free some other day, Marquis Yan is welcome to visit."

Yanhou's mother disliked being disturbed.

Therefore, very few people in Kyoto can easily enter Yanhou's Mansion.

One is to avoid suspicion, and the other is to avoid trouble.

There are too many people begging for mercy, and Yan Hou is too busy.

Shi Mei said this to remind Yan Hou that it took a long time to come out.

Yanhou woke up and hurriedly said goodbye.

Shi Mei was afraid that the walls would have ears, so she left Yujie all the way before talking to Jia She: "Your brother-in-law will probably go to Jiangnan in the first year of the year.

However, this time it is not alone.

His Majesty will come up with some fake and real gimmicks to tie some people's hands and feet, and use the sons and daughters of noble clans to check the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River.

Ha, it's a lot of fun now. "

Jia Amnesty was confused: "Isn't the Zhen family the president of the Tiren Institute? He has been investigating the people in Jiangnan for His Majesty, monitoring the officialdom in Jiangnan, why did he send his brother-in-law and Yanhou's son there..."

Shi Mei waved her hand: "We'll discuss it later when we go home.

You ride first, I still have something to discuss with you brother Jing, hurry up and let me know.

Alas, everything catches up. "

Jia Zhen was supposed to inform her last night, but in the end, Shi Mei had to make preparations for today's meeting, so she had no free time.

Furthermore, Shi Mei thought, General Yu would not allow Jia Zhen to be beaten to death.

Unexpectedly, Shi Mei intervened to make Jia Zhen plead guilty, and even got in touch with Yu's family again.

If the Yu family's marriage was really renewed, Jia Zhen would have made a profit.

In this life, there should be nothing about Youshi Keqing.

Let's go find a matching marriage.

Jia Amnesty hits the horse first.

Shi Mei then walked slowly, and met Jia Zheng on the way to meet him, but it was Wang Shuhua who delivered the letter to him.

Jia Zheng was ashamed: "Why didn't the mother say anything, otherwise, the son would not go to the yamen."

Shi Mei said: "The household department's debts are your brother's business. Besides, your brother can be independent in Jinyiwei, and you have to listen to the household department at any time, so you only go. It's not good to ask for leave frequently.

We are just entering the palace to thank you, don't worry. "

Jia Zheng nodded: "In this way, the child will feel at ease."

Shi Mei sighed and didn't speak any more.

When we arrived at Rongning Street, Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty were waiting together.

Shi Mei said: "It's about Zhen'er, let Mrs. Yang come and listen."

Jia Jing said with a smile: "I have already passed through the gate, saying that it is to let the fourth sister get used to the children's troubles in advance."

Jia Rong is more noisy than Jia Lian and Jia Cong.

I guess it was too early to leave my mother, and I never stop crying, I don’t listen to anyone, and I don’t even take milk.

Shi Mei suggested weaning. Children in this era must eat milk until they are three years old.

Shi Mei went back to the mansion, washed up briefly, changed into normal clothes, and was ready to come out to meet Jia Jing Yang.

As a result, when the hands were washed, they seemed to be shedding their skin.

Shi Mei hurriedly told Nanny Lai: "Quietly fetch some hot water for me, I want to take a bath."

Nanny Lai didn't know Shi Mei's appearance through the curtain: "Where's Master Jing?"

Shi Mei said: "Treat them to tea, and then let Bai Jintang come to see them."

Nanny Lai nodded: "This time is enough."

Shi Mei said again: "Call Miss Si to come over."

Before the hot water was filled, Jia Min came over with support.

Seeing Shi Mei, she jumped up: "Mother, you..."

Shi Mei stretched out her black claws: "Hush!"

Jia Min flattened her mouth: "You are advancing much faster than your daughter."

Shi Mei shaved Jia Min's black nose: "Greedy girl, your mother and I have practiced for more than [-] years, how old are you?"

Jia Min frowned: "But after I first started, it took three years to cleanse the marrow and cut the bones again. You only started in the twelfth lunar month of last year, and it's only been a year..."

Shi Mei also felt that it was a little too fast.

Usually, I don't feel much in practice, and the meridian is only a little bit of spiritual power, and the lightning is like a death.

After a year of practice, I haven't seen a slight increase. How can I be promoted after entering the palace?

Shi Mei recalled that every time Emperor Jiahe's dragon prestige struck her, her body would be squeezed to the point of collapse, her skin aches, her muscles ache, her muscles and bones ache.

Shi Mei suddenly thought of one thing.

Zhang Wuji was put in a Qiankun bag by Budai monk, and Cheng Kun gave him a phantom finger.

Zhang Wuji's unpracticed Nine Suns Divine Kungfu was activated under oppression, squeezed in various ways in the cloth bag, and finally refined into a magical technique.

Could it be that every time I was shattered by Longwei, even though it consumed my vitality, it was actually beneficial?

Could it be that Longwei and Longwei can open up meridians, so I can practice Qi into my body at the age of forty?

However, Shi Mei knows that the key is that this world has spiritual energy.

After much deliberation, she couldn't figure it out, and Shi Mei didn't dare to tell Jia Min.

A hasty shower.

This time it was a little bit cleaner than last time, and the dirt was not so thick.

After washing it twice, I rinsed it again, and it was finally refreshing.

When Shi Mei came out, Jia Jing was inquiring about Bai Jintang's knowledge, if he had any doubts or lacked some books, there were none in this mansion, so he could just go to that mansion to borrow them.

After seeing Shi Mei, Bai Jintang bid farewell to him, and left with a wink.

But the words were tactful: "The grandson greets the grandmother. If the grandmother has nothing to say, the grandson will leave. Jia Wei and the others are still waiting for the grandson to sort out the account books."

Shi Mei said: "Thank you for your hard work, I will add a soy sauce elbow to each of you tonight!"

Bai Jintang hurriedly left: "My grandson must be very happy to tell them now."

Shi Mei waited for him to walk away before saying what Zhang Jue had said.

"Jia Zhen probably wants to continue the marriage, what do you think, you have to come up with a charter.

If you think it's feasible, Jing'er, you might as well show your face and come to beg Yu's family. It's worth it to endure the anger for a while and win a hundred years of peace. "

Yang hesitated a little.

When they divorced at the beginning, the two parties had some troubles.

The Yu family almost drove the couple out of the house.

It is washing the ground again and spreading salt again.

I really have lingering fears when I think about it.

Yang's mouth just muttered: "This is so good..."

But Jia Jing was angry, and he just circled around: "This evil, evil... evil..."

Everyone understands Jia Jing's sorrow.

Because of Jia Zhen's willfulness, this marriage made the house restless.

Jia Jing was disgraced even more.

Jia Amnesty got up and patted Jia Jing: "Brother, don't worry, let's go to the front yard and have a few drinks."

Jia Amnesty also had a lot of things in his heart that he couldn't say, so he just got drunk to relieve his worries.

Jia Zheng also said goodbye: "Son, go and persuade Brother Jing."

Shi Mei said with a smile: "Regardless of drinking during the day, don't make trouble, let the censor hear it, you guys are good to see."

Jia Amnesty 29, Jia Zheng 26.

Both of them are the fathers of several children, and they are still thinking about eating, drinking and having fun.

Shi Mei packed up a high-quality gift and ordered Lai Da to send it to Yanhou Mansion in person.

The most valuable are a pair of Lingyu pendants, because one is as big as a fingernail and two pieces of yellow are carved into peonies playing with butterflies.

It is most suitable for holding and playing in the hand.

Another pair of 50-year-old wild ginseng.

50-year-old wild ginseng needs 500 taels of silver.

Rongfu only entered ten pairs.

Hundred-year-old wild ginseng is worth a thousand taels, and its efficacy is three to five times that of 50-year-old wild ginseng.

Rongfu bought two pairs, and there are two pregnant women in the family, so we have to take precautions, and they can save lives at critical moments.

Most of the ginseng purchased by Rongfu is 30 years old.

This year is enough for medicine.

In 30 years, it costs 300 pairs, which is what the family uses when they eat ginseng soup on weekdays.

So I bought a little more, a total of thirty pairs,

Zhang Jue presented 80-year-old wild ginseng as a gift to Emperor Jiahe.

Although keeping the best for yourself is a bit of a problem.However, Emperor Jiahe did not lack ginseng that was more than a hundred years old, even 500-year-old ginseng.

What the Rong Mansion offered was nothing more than a heart.

The next day.

Jia Amnesty went to the Yamen and brought back Yanhou.

After the Marquis of Yan went to Rongqing Hall to salute and greet Shi Mei, he thanked Shi Mei and said, "My mother likes solid-colored jade the most. My mother likes the two pendants you gave me very much. She said that the jade is of good quality and has an ingenious artistic conception. My mother knows that you are busy at the moment, and would like to invite you to go to the hot spring in Zhuangzi, a suburb of Beijing, in the first month.

The other things in our house are not outstanding, but there are two good hot springs in Zhuangzi.

My hot springs are separated from men and women. If you are interested, my mother will post for you in the first month of the month. "

The hot spring villages in the suburbs of Beijing have been carved up by the rich and powerful, and ordinary nobles can't touch them.

Shi Mei was naturally happy: "It's a good relationship, I'll definitely go and see it when I have time."

Shi Mei knew in her heart that she would definitely not be able to go.

Zhang's twelfth lunar month does not give birth, but the first month must be born.

The daughter-in-law didn't have a baby, and the mother-in-law ran out to play and enjoy the scenery without being scolded to death.

The return gift from Yanhou's family to Rongfu was eight baskets of seasonal fruits.

Fuzhou oranges and pomelo.

Jingchu's oranges and rouge pomelo.

Tangerines from Sichuan.

Dongzao from Shandong.

Shaanxi soft dates.

Bananas from Lingnan.

Shi Mei read the gift list, didn't ask much about the source, but happily accepted it.

This time Yan Hou revealed to Shi Mei the thoughts of Emperor Jiahe.

At the annual banquet, Emperor Jiahe will throw out a new official title called Nine Provinces Inspection.

They went to Nanjing (South Zhili), Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, Sichuan, and Gansu, Henan, and Shaanxi that were hit by the disaster.

This time out, everyone will wear the emperor's dragon pendant, mainly to supervise the administration of officials, taxation, and criminal names.

Yan Hou said: "Actually, it is all kinds of muddy waters, so that officials in the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River can't take care of themselves, so as not to interfere with the implementation of the new policy."

Shi Mei was surprised: "Implement new policies, salt affairs?"

Yanhou pursed her lips and smiled.

Your Majesty's guess is right, the old lady of Rong Mansion really knows everything.

Yan Hou will not say who will carry out the New Deal.

Shi Mei was actually able to infer most of them. The only thing that surprised her was that Emperor Jiahe involved the sons of the clan princes.

Then he asked, "How confident is Your Majesty that you can mobilize the princes and princes of the clan?"

Yan Hou said: "This is not a secret.

Now the royal family and princes already know the news.

His Majesty promulgated a temporary decree that those who serve as inspectors of the nine provinces, no matter whether they have political achievements or not, will have a title of Yunqiwei when they return to Beijing in the future, which is the fifth rank.

Those who have made outstanding achievements will be conferred the title of Lieutenant of Qingche, the third rank.

If there is a major meritorious service, it can be canonized as an earl and marquis. "

When Shi Mei heard this, her brain turned and she immediately understood.

This is to tell those officials who eat salt whether to continue to obstruct the New Deal and continue to eat and drink, or to help and give their children and grandchildren a certain future.

This move can be described as using one's spear to attack another's shield, it depends on whether you choose the spear or the shield!

Most people cannot escape the trap of Emperor Jiahe.

Generally willing to go out is the second son, or the eldest son of the concubine.

These two classes of people are not necessarily lacking in talent and learning, but they are pushed down because of their backgrounds.

Now that I have the opportunity, I must jump out and fight for the front.

Do parents dare to stop it?

Cut off people's future and money, and have no intention of killing their parents.

Father and son brothers will turn against each other.

This is similar to the Tweet Order of the Han Dynasty.

Tweeting order divides capital and power manpower.

Although Emperor Jiahe's move could not divide financial resources, it divided people's hearts.

If a father with a title and an elder brother who is qualified to inherit, dare to obstruct him, he will be a life and death enmity!

In a family, set up two patriarchs for you.

It's like adding sand when the iron plates are fused, and air leaks!

There are spies too!

Shi Mei praised the emperor: High!

Suddenly, Shi Mei realized that this Marquis of Yan was a little different.

Shi Mei concentrated her attention on observing, and suddenly jumped.

There is a purple stream flowing above Yanhou Yintang.

Shi Mei unconsciously focused her eyes carefully, the purple light rushed upwards, but the middle was permeated with red light.

Shi Mei's head paused for a few seconds, and then she realized that she was actually able to hope?

Isn't that right?

Jia Min also washed the essence twice.

However, Jia Min said that she could only see the aura of jade, and she couldn't see anything unusual on the top of His Majesty's head?

Shi Mei raised her forehead, wondering why her cultivation surpassed that of Jia Min?

Yanhou is very good at observing words and expressions.

As soon as Shi Mei touched her forehead here, he saw it.

He thought Shi Mei was tired, so he hurriedly got up to say goodbye: "My mother is still watching at home, and my nephew is leaving."

Shi Mei knew that he had misunderstood, but she followed suit and ordered Jia She: "Send Yanhou off."

Jia Amnesty got up and agreed, and he and Yan Hou both bowed and said goodbye.

Then, when Jia She held hands, Shi Mei was dumbfounded again.

Jia Amnesty's Yintang also changed color.

His seal was red and bright.

This is a sign of great luck.

The purple air represents unspeakable value.

Yan Hou's luck is purple and red, and he has great luck, but it dilutes his nobility.

Suddenly, Shi Mei found that the luck of the two of them was somewhat blurred.

Shi Mei concentrated her spiritual energy on her eyes again, trying to see clearly.

Head pain like a pinprick.

Shi Mei closed her eyes and opened them again, but she lost her mind and couldn't see anything.

Jia Amnesty noticed that his mother was touching her forehead first, and then suddenly her complexion turned pale. He thought that her mother was ill, and hurriedly asked, "Is mother not feeling well? Don't be ill, it was snowing heavily yesterday..."

Shi Mei took a long time in the bath yesterday, and the reason given was that she broke into a cold sweat from fright, and the cold went down to her bones, so she used ginger water to soak in the bath.

Jia Amnesty thought that her mother's illness was not suppressed yesterday, but she committed it today.

Shi Mei hurriedly waved her hands: "It's okay, it's just a little dizzy, the problem of the elderly, it's not a problem, you go. The road is snowy and slippery, Hou Yan, please be careful when riding."

After they went out, Shi Mei quickly went to the Small Buddha Hall.

The Small Buddha Hall not only enshrines Jia Daishan's spiritual tablet, but also enshrines a Jade Guanyin.

Shi Mei quickly pressed the secret door under the altar, the Guanyin statue turned around, Shi Mei entered the secret room, sat on the futon among the spirit stones arranged according to the eight trigrams, and meditated with her eyes closed.

I have practiced a big week.

Shi Mei noticed that the headache was relieved.

Afterwards, Shi Mei practiced two more big heavenly circles, and her spiritual power returned to the Niwan Palace, and finally she was completely healthy.

Shi Mei knew that her cultivation was limited, she shouldn't watch the luck of two people in one day, exhaust her spiritual power, and hurt her soul.

Shi Mei recalled her grandmother's warning, once she succeeds in cultivation, don't open her eyes indiscriminately.

Open the eye of the sky once and practice for at least three months before opening it for the second time.

Shi Mei watched it three times in a row, and finally her spiritual power was exhausted.

Jia Min soon knew that her mother was not feeling well, so she hurried over to visit her. As a result, Shi Mei had already entered the secret room.

Jia Min didn't want to disturb her, so she had to meditate in the small Buddhist hall and guard the gate for her mother.

Jia Min is currently seven months pregnant and is slowly recovering from her cultivation.

But she is very careful, the spiritual power she cultivates every day is only equal to the child's consumption, so she will stop practicing.

She is pregnant and not suitable for advancement.

Once advanced, the whole body will be crushed and painful, although the time is short, the child will definitely not be able to bear it.

Shi Mei only practiced for three weeks, but it took nearly three hours.

When Shi Mei left the customs, it was already the end of the unitary hour, and the dusk was falling.

Jia Min was very worried: "Mother, what's the matter, Lun Shuo, with your cultivation, you shouldn't be afraid of wind and snow?"

Shi Mei was afraid that Jia Min would be too excited, so she had to lie and say, "It's not about the wind and snow. I wanted to see His Majesty's dragon fortune, but I was overwhelmed by Longwei and exhausted my spiritual energy. You must remember my lesson and don't just peep."

Jia Min was very surprised: "So powerful?"

Shi Mei nodded: "It doesn't matter to ordinary people, we practice the Qi Watching Technique and compete with the heaven and earth for energy, and we will be tolerated by righteous energy.

The emperor is the darling of heaven, remember not to try to spy on Longwei. "

Jia Min waved her hands in fright: "Daughter remembers, definitely not.

Furthermore, the daughter is only a seventh-rank imperial order, and she is still far away from Mr. Mian. "

Shi Mei nodded: "That's true. I'm also worried that you are young. The pain of tearing your whole body is not something ordinary people can bear. During your childbearing period, don't try to spy on Long Wei!

Remember! "

Shi Mei lay dormant for three days, and only then did she come forward to take care of Zhongfu.

The next day, Jia Xun returned to Beijing, accompanied by the Zhang family.

His Majesty ordered Mr. Zhang Ge to go to Beijing to recuperate.

Zhang's second brother became the county magistrate of Wanping.

The county magistrate of Wanping was in charge of the emperor's three acres of land in the western suburbs.

The Zhang family came to Beijing suddenly, and there was nothing for the new year.

Shi Mei ordered people to take five carts of all kinds of New Year's goods to Zhang's house.

In a twinkling of an eye at 29, the Rongfu worshiped the ancestors.

Today, Mrs. Zhang was standing next to Shi Mei passing the dishes, and suddenly her whole body trembled, and she almost smashed the dish...
