1525 The Last Story (15)
With this money, and Wang Xifeng's financial power as the prime minister was returned, Jia Mu couldn't find half of the people who could take charge of things again.
"If you let Zhu's sister-in-law's family manage the inner courtyard, the younger sisters in the family can help from the side. ”
"The matter of purchasing can be handed over to the relatively close clansmen of the Jia family's clan, and I think that Jia Qiang has some ability. ”
Wang Xifeng, who was completely relieved by Jia Lian's confession, wiped his tears and gave a successor.
She has figured it out now, what is a woman fighting for so much?
Now that an old man has been able to stand up to things, wouldn't it be easier for her to be a down-to-earth husband and child at home as a woman.
As long as she lives a good life, no matter how difficult it is, Wang Xifeng will be able to endure it.
Seeing that Wang Xifeng, who likes to play power the most on weekdays, is so free and easy, Jia's mother is also mixed for a while.
This is a chance to repent, and it is better than this catastrophe that comes and cannot save oneself.
In this sigh, Jia Mu acquiesced to this arrangement.
It's just that after Lin Zheng witnessed the reconciliation of the two families and became a duke, he was stopped by Jia Lian and his family when he walked out of Jia's mother's courtyard.
"Thank you, cousin, for sending me the letter. ”
"I really don't know how to thank you now. ”
Lin Zheng is also a real person, he avoided Jia Lian's thanks, and told him very frankly: "This matter is also what I said and my uncle heard, and it ended up like this, you don't have to blame me." ”
In the stunned eyes of these two people, Lin Zheng said to himself: "Only when the abscess is broken can it be completely healed." ”
"The Jia family is in such a mess, it must be cleaned up. ”
"You see, because of this incident, Cousin Lian not only got a real shortcoming, but also had the opportunity to embark on a career to realize his ambitions, and the sister-in-law of the Lian family also reined in the precipice, and really reconciled with his cousin Qin Se and Ming, doing what a woman should do. ”
"Isn't that the best of both worlds?"
"So, cousin and sister-in-law, don't thank me, I'm leaving!"
After speaking, Lin Zheng ran towards the gate like a gust of wind.
But he heard the angry voices of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng behind him.
"This little brother of the Lin family, I still want to have a good relationship with his relatives, who would have thought that it would be such a temperament!"
"Lin Zheng!!You wait for me!!"
Behind him was chaos, and whoever stopped and waited for someone was the second fool.
Lin Zheng, who was happy, returned directly to the Lin Mansion and told Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu about it as a joke.
Unlike Daiyu, who was a little worried when she heard this, Lin Ruhai's eyebrows were completely stretched.
As soon as a few of the most criticized things in this Jia Mansion are dealt with, His Majesty will not care too much about those innocuous little problems.
Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai mentioned again: "What happened to the Xue family?"
Lin Zheng, who didn't know anything about this, shook his head: "There is no news yet, their family is far away from our Lin Mansion, since the eldest uncle has reported it to His Majesty, this matter is naturally no big problem." ”
Lin Ruhai, who felt that this was indeed the case, also let this go, and went up and down the court with Lin Zheng as usual.
During this period, more than three months have passed.
Jia Lian of the Jia family carried a family member, a servant who could be used, a staff member given by the third or fourth father, and a team of private soldiers of the Jia family as an escort, and boarded the big ship to the south.
After arriving at the southernmost port, they traveled overland for more than a month, and finally arrived at the center of the Lingnan hinterland, where they worked with the local semi-autonomous local officials to build up that large area.
Thinking about it, it is difficult, and this can be regarded as a punishment and test for Jia Lian and his wife.
As for the people of the Xue family?
But he moved out of Jiafu half a month ago.
Without him, it was because when Xue Pan was eating wine with a group of fox friends and dogs, he was directly dragged to the prison by the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
The presiding officer over there came up with a high-pressure interrogation, and Xue Pan, who had never seen such a battle, dared to lie at will, so he naturally told him what he had committed clearly.
Seeing that this also involved the current Yin Jiayu Village of Jinling Mansion and the Wang family in the suburbs of Beijing, how dare these five-grade petty officials be good at specialization, so they naturally handed a piece of paper to His Majesty's hands and sent it to the desk where he handled official business on a daily basis.
Seeing that this case was really not small, His Majesty the Emperor tapped his fingers back and forth a few times, and then made a conclusion.
Far away in Jia Yu Village, where Jinling can consciously rise to prominence, the next second is to remove and demote officials, and never use them.
However, Wang Ziteng, who is currently the Gyeonggi garrison officer, was promoted by His Majesty by several levels, and directly jumped to the position of a senior officer who was a little higher than Lin Ruhai, and was also appointed as the inspector of the nine provinces.
As for the duties of this inspection point, as the name suggests, it is the duty of the border garrisons of the nine provinces.
The authority seems to be infinite, and the official position is also quite high, but under careful consideration, it can only make room for the prince to make a pity.
Because all of this is a floating cloud.
The past of the right is just a word from His Majesty.
Not only that, but in the process of patrolling, he also offended people very much.
He did not have a fixed office location, which caused Wang Ziteng and the generals to never get along, resulting in the result of officials protecting each other.
His duty is to patrol again, and the most important garrison generals should be on guard against is this kind of person who makes small reports on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
not only did not have a good relationship, but also pulled all the hatred on Wang Ziteng's body.
After Lin Zheng learned about this arrangement, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the emperor of this world in his heart.
It's a good means to really play.
The leaders of these two parties are so miserable, as the culprit of this incident, Xue Pan, but because he did not do it himself when he beat people to death, but he had the responsibility to instruct, so the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and he is still sentenced to exile.
It's just that this sin is a little far away.
It was immediately supported to Hainan Island.
How could this Xue family let the person in charge suffer such a crime?
Naturally, he took out a large amount of money to dredge up and down, wanting to buy a reduced punishment for Xue Pan.
But it's not nice to say, it's straight to heaven.
Who would dare to accept this hot potato?
When the aunt of the Xue family begged Mrs. Wang's location, she heard the news that her sister was grounded by the ancestor of Jiafu.
was flustered for a while, and Aunt Xue, who had lost her backbone, only knew how to cry bitterly.
But at this time, Xue Baochai bit his lip and wanted to work hard for his brother.
So, Xue Baochai, who was close to the water, first came to Jia Baoyu's courtyard.
When she told Jia Baoyu about her difficulties, she saw that this child, who was a little moved, looked at her helplessly with two points of confusion and eight points of misery.
"Sister Bao, how can you let me help you?"
"The ancestors have said that they can't take care of it, how can I take care of the Xue family's elder brother's affairs?"
"Your brother has made a mistake, so naturally he has to act in accordance with the laws of the imperial court. ”
"Or, Sister Bao, I'll help you scrape together some more silver taels, so that the Xue family's brother can have a more comfortable life when he goes on the road?"
Hearing this, Xue Baochai was as bitter as drinking Coptis chinensis, and his heart was bitter.
This is the golden marriage that her mother found for her.
The boy opposite, like her, empathizes, can laugh with her, or cry with her, but when it comes to the big event, he is as dazed as her.
For Xue Baochai, who still had the last trace of extravagant hope for Jia Baoyu, he couldn't bear to ask again: "Haven't you always made friends with a few friends?"
"Then King Beijing still has a few sons of a family, and there are few who can talk to my brother and ask for mercy?"
Hearing this, Jia Baoyu's head shook even more, not only did he not agree with Xue Baochai's remarks, but criticized extremely seriously: "To make friends, you should have a sincere heart, how can you use such a vulgar thing to pollute such a beautiful friendship?"
"Don't say that you begged me to do this, even if the ancestor came, I wouldn't agree. ”
In a few words, Xue Baochai was very desperate, she wiped a handful of tears, stood up from her seat, and left the person she had loved and this small courtyard without looking back.
Xue Baochai, who was in a panic, ran very fast, where was there a demeanor that was stronger than a noble girl on weekdays.
But when he returned to the courtyard where he temporarily lived in Jiafu, as if he remembered something, he stopped in front of the old uninhabited Lixiang Courtyard.
"Go, Xiangling, send someone to send a letter to the elder brother of the Lin family in the Lin Mansion, yes! We can also find the elder brother of the Lin family to find a way. ”
After saying this, this Xue Baochai ran towards his home as if he had found the backbone.
A piece of flower note, a few small stickers, hairpins, books on it, cut it carefully with a knife, stuffed into a sealed envelope, and let the intimate person hand it over.
Lin Zheng, who was successful in his job, saw this letter asking for help as soon as he entered the house.
After unfolding, as he guessed, the Xue family had reached the point of desperation.
At this juncture, Lin Zheng naturally wouldn't take care of things for the sake of a Xue Baochai.
But there are some useful points that he can write a little about.
So, on the evening of the same day, Xue Baochai, who lived in Jiafu, received a receipt.
When she opened the thin envelope and saw its contents, all she had left was a sad smile.
The things listed in this are very simple, but for her Xue Baochai, it is still not enough.
According to what Lin Zheng said in his letter, the first is to let the two brothers and sisters of Xue Zhen and Xue Baoqin, who are in the other room of the Xue family in Jinling, go to Beijing, and when Wang Ziteng's deterrent power is still habitual, he will give the patriarch to the more responsible Xue Zhen, so as to keep the number one of the Xue family's current imperial merchants.
Maybe under Xue Zhen's governance, the Xue family still has hope of turning the tables.
After all, Xue Pan, who has committed a big crime, can't be the patriarch of a family no matter what.
The second point is to spend money to buy a comfort.
Since you don't feel at ease, let's make a dot along the way.
When you arrive at the local area, the local officials can naturally operate it, but it is still possible to get a free identity.
This kind of cognition is really good for a modern socialist person like Lin Zheng.
Because this is tantamount to a process of being tired all the way but gaining freedom.
But in the eyes of Xue Baochai, a lady like her, it is absolutely unbearable.
This kind of behavior means that the family will be far away from the center of politics and culture, and will go to that remote and desolate place to suffer and suffer.
After seeing the prosperity of this world, few young people are willing to be lonely.
Xue Baochai is still young, her heart is not low, and she has many fantasies about her future, but she has never summarized what Lin Zheng said into her life.
So, the anxious Xue Baochai handed over a letter asking for help with the uncle of the Wang family, but was returned by the aunt who wanted to pack and follow the road together.
She knows what the women of the Wang family have done in the Jia family, and why their master has been dragged down to a good future.
In her opinion, the fact that a disaster leader like Xue Pan can save a small life is still for the sake of her Wang family's face.
Do you still want to make an inch?
When her sister entered the capital, she didn't go to the Wang family's mansion.
Since there is a grudge, why ask for it again?
Xue Baochai, who was once again hit by reality, couldn't even care about the reserve of his daughter's family.
She returned to the room and asked Aunt Xue, "Mother, can you have that capable family who can help?"
"Even if I was a noble concubine in the past, I would recognize my daughter!"
She has this kind of brother who has killed people, where can she marry a good family.
The original lady couldn't think about it, I'm afraid that even a serious concubine like a concubine of eight hundred would be unthinkable.
When Xue Baochai said this, the aunt of the Xue family cried even more.
"Daughter, where do you know any good people for your mother?"
"We can't go anywhere except your aunt. ”
At the same time as Xue Baochai's heart was cold, he actually thought of the figure with a gentle bearing and a tall posture.
That day, she crossed the horse and paraded the street, and she also watched it on the upper floor tomorrow.
It's just that such a person is even farther away from her, and now she doesn't dare to save a letter and ask for the position of a concubine.
Xue Baochai, who sighed lightly, finally gave up the last bit of struggle.
In the boundary where wealthy merchants gathered in the north of the city, a small courtyard was also cleaned up.
The Xue family quietly moved out of Jia's house in this stormy moment.
And when Xue Pan was escorted out of Beijing, there were only two middle-aged servants from the Xue family who followed the officials.
It seems that the money has kept up, but this person didn't listen to Lin Zheng's advice, they are still unwilling to change their status, trying to use the last bit of glory to fight for their family again.
Since this family that has been in decline has to struggle in the coming whirlpool, a person like him with good intentions to pull them out of the quagmire is not to worry about it.
Lin Zheng, who let go of his thoughts, did not feel very comfortable, because all the places he passed through were very busy, and the people around him talked about the emperor's backyard the most.
Which people were included in the list of people who could save their relatives, and which people were suddenly disqualified.
Those who are qualified to take their daughters back, how much money has been spent at home, how much construction has been moved, even in a place as noble as Hanlin Academy, Lin Zheng's ears are still full of topics related to these.
It's just that Lin Zheng, who knows very well why the emperor did this, is deaf to this.
In the increasingly impetuous officialdom, his performance has also become a good phenomenon of a young and old minister, who is calm and calm.
This kind of unfazed bearing naturally cannot escape the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor.
One day, after receiving a few slightly flawed copywriting from the Hanlin Academy, His Majesty, who was in his prime, suddenly spoke: "I heard that the champion of the current branch is completing the compilation of prehistory?"
The big eunuch on the side smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
"That makes people take a look at his recent achievements, and I have a headache to watch the twists and turns recently. ”
This order made the eunuch beside him understand.
When the little eunuchs who were in charge of carrying historical materials went to find this champion of the Lin family, they all had a flattering smile on their faces.
When the materials of this volume and the semi-finished products that were about to be completed were brought to His Majesty's case, His Majesty the Emperor, who looked through these classics, was really satisfied.
The handwriting on this is elegant, and every page of historical materials is copied neatly and neatly.
The annotations are simple and clear, which makes people feel refreshed to look at.
People always say that they see their people when they look at their books, but His Majesty has not yet summoned Lin Zheng, just looking at this stack of materials, he already likes it.
When Lin Zheng was summoned to the inner study alone to face the saint, he added a few points to his original good appearance in front of His Majesty.
By the time he finished dealing with it unhurriedly, he had already jumped two levels from the compilation of the Hanlin Academy, which he had to do at the beginning of the previous champion, to the five-rank Hanlin Academy.
When this good news was delivered, it was also the time when the construction of the courtyard of the Grand View Garden was officially completed.
Because the time for Jia Yuanchun to save his relatives had not yet arrived, Lin Zheng just took a cursory glance when he went to see Jia's mother.
The name of the Grand View Garden, which was originally going to appear, is still properly hung on the top of the new courtyard.
But many of these familiar names of the inner courtyard can no longer appear in them.
Without him, compared with the Grand View Garden described in the original Dream of Red Mansions, the current scale is only one-third of the original.
The millions of dollars spent on the construction of the garden are not reflected here.
Lin Zheng just walked around the neighborhood with Jia Qiang, and he was no longer interested in it, because this garden didn't look as elegant as Lin Mansion's own back garden.
Lin Zheng, who wanted to leave, was about to walk to the door when he was stopped by someone sent by the old lady.
