Chapter Ninety-Seven: For the Glory of the Family
A few days later, Jiao Qian and the others really came back, except for a little sluggishness, there was nothing wrong with anything else, and Jia Lu asked again and again but still couldn't get any results. In the eyes of the subordinates next to her, Sister Lu is still so favored, even if she violates the will of the master, it is just a punishment (in the eyes of the subordinates who have to do so much work every day, it is easy to copy something with a pen), not only that, but even the maids around her are unharmed (I don't know why the news of Mama's punishment has not been reported).
At the same time, because after this time, the peaches and oranges in the second-class maids were promoted to the first class, and two of the second-class were vacant. However, Han and Jia Lu don't seem to have the idea of adding or promoting people, but fortunately, in Jia Lu's Yuanzhong Garden, there are many third-class maids, and they are not short of manpower.
Naturally, they are not stupid people who can enter Jia Lu's yard, not only Jiao Qian and Mo Ran are more carefully served, but Taozi and others no longer dare to argue at will and come forward to please the master, and they are more cautious in their behavior, and for a while, the whole courtyard seems to be quiet. I don't know if Jia Lu found out, but since then, she has spent more of her free time on the Han family instead of playing with a few maids, and her usual rewards are much less. Those red-eyed people who don't know their strengths and weaknesses secretly mock a few big girls who are no longer favored, but they don't know that they are grateful. Han seems to have passed this matter, and the wind and waves have been quiet for more than a month.
The women of the back house always focus on everything in the house where she is, this is not that their own wisdom and ability are inferior to men, they are subject to their vision, and they are subject to the rules and regulations imposed on them by the world. Completely unaware of the turmoil in the DPRK and China, the building they attached to was swaying in the wind and rain.
It's still that study, but it's heavily guarded, and it's not much better than the Forbidden City, and even Jia Lu is not allowed to enter. Now the emperor in the court is ambiguous, repeatedly supporting the confrontation between the forces of the original two princes and the new emperor, suppressing the new policies implemented by the new emperor everywhere, and the power of the original prince has not been completely cracked down, and now there is a resurgence, and then the emperor's gradual guilt and favor for the original prince are left and right between the three forces, taking the opportunity to develop, the original six princes have no intention of political affairs, but his powerful maternal wife is unwilling, and he has power in the court, superimposed in many ways, so that the new emperor is in decline. A few years ago, the new emperor sealed the emperor's confidants, and the harem was headed by Jia Jieyu, and the former dynasty was headed by the Zhen family.
Thinking of this, Jia Jing not only rubbed his eyebrows, but he hadn't rested well for several days, his eyes were swollen, and his eyes were flushed with red silk, not only relieved, but this is also a rare news that can make people feel relaxed now. Jieyu's subposition, neither high nor low, intriguing, the first person below the concubine position, but not up to the concubine position, and cannot be called the noble master of the harem, and it will not have any impact in the previous dynasty. Not as good as the virtuous concubine of the previous dynasty, since ancient times, the conventional title of the concubine is virtuous, good, lady, and virtuous, even if the saint has a fancy, he will only give the title of "Yi", "Zhen" and other titles, how can there be a title of the word "virtuous", now it seems that this title looks at the noble scenery, the actual irony is full, and the warning is very clear, but unfortunately, in the previous life, he and others were still immersed in the scenery of reproducing grace, but there was no secret crisis. Fortunately, this life has changed, although she is still the girl of the Jia family, but from the perspective of the position, the new emperor still has the intention of letting go.
A doorman who had followed Jia Jing for many years looked at Jia Jing's face and asked, "Why is the master so worried, although the situation is unclear now, but the emperor has taken a fancy to him, even if the new emperor finally takes charge of the power and is arbitrary, in the end, it is not to respect us to get the support of the nobles, isn't it?"
Jia Jing raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and saw the contempt in his eyes clearly, the new emperor's appearance, forehead, has always been immature, before ascending the throne, whether it was the old emperor, or the original prince, the second prince, or the ministers in the court did not regard this young but grown prince as one of the successors of Dakang, which played a great role in his Taoguang obscurity, but it was beneficial and disadvantageous, and now even if he has a serious expression all day long, but there is still no one to trust him.
However, he is not a person who is impatient, he can endure and ruthless, from ascending the throne to clearing obstacles, he endured it for five or six years, during which the old emperor died, and he never acted rashly, until the opponent couldn't help but fight it all again, and won the reputation of Emperor Ren in vain. Jia Jing squinted his eyes, if he can endure it, it is nothing, in the front and harem, which one can climb up and will not endure it? The key is to be ruthless enough, thinking of the last four kings and eight princes in his previous life, Jia Jing couldn't help but tremble, where would he need the support of Xungui. Since he ascended the throne, he has always attached great importance to the selection of the imperial examination, but the imperial examination wants to be valued by the emperor, under the cover of his other drastic new policy reforms, these small attention has never attracted attention, and the families also need to attract new talents.
Jia Jing glanced at the people in the study, as many as more than ten people, although they did not speak, it could be seen that they agreed with the old man who had just spoken, and the Jia family still had less background, and shook his head. But fortunately, the Jia family is in the middle and bottom of the eight princes of the Jia family, and the talented generation does not need to be polished, even if the girl of the Jia family is selected in the harem, it does not attract much attention, and he can still plan well.
Seeing Jia Jing shaking his head, the smile on his lips narrowed, and he lowered his head in shame.
Jia Jing didn't pay attention to it, and said to everyone, "Everyone, in the future, the dispute between the old and new emperors will continue, restrain your family members for me, don't look at the power of the Yide prince, just think about leaning in, when the time comes, don't intercede with me, just let your family go!"
Everyone's hearts froze, the air in the study was instantly stagnant, and everyone knelt down and said yes.
After a while, Jia Jing's tone was gentle, and he personally helped the old man and stroked his clothes, "Everyone also knows about our Jia family's dedication, and I have asked my wife to prepare delicious food and wine, so that you can entertain everyone." Why don't you go for a drink?"
Everyone looked at each other and humbly said, "Don't dare to be." After a great deal of rejoicing with the master and servant, the people departed.
Jia Jing lay on a rattan chair and pointed to a stack of papers in his hand, allowing the little guy standing next to him to read it.
"Jia Bian (the original word is left jade and right bian) in the first year of Guangwu... The current general manager of the Kyoto Foreign Affairs Commission...; In the thirty-second year of Jia Hengqian's reign... The current Ministry of Rites pen post style... Jia Xuan... Jia Chen... Jia Qiong... Jia Luan..."
Jia Jing doesn't like government affairs and power, but he has no hesitation to devote himself to it, for the glory of this family. Listening to the children of the clan breathing one by one, Jia Jing fell asleep with a smile. Only the clear voice of the little guy is echoing.
