The Rongguo Mansion of Wenpo and the delivery room was not prepared, and there was still a long time from the launch to the production, so Liu hurriedly asked someone to send Xiao Wang's back, and by the way, he sent a letter to Xiao Wang's mother.

After a period of confusion, the two returned to their seats. After such a incident, Xu was deeply unlucky, and Liu persuaded him: "It is clearly a happy event, so it seems that the three families at the banquet are happy!" ”

Xu Shi turned to laugh and said, "What you said is extremely true. Then he asked, "Can Hu Ge'er's appointment come down?" ”

"It's been down a long time ago," Liu replied, "the Hanlin Academy has been repaired, from the sixth grade." ”

Xu said with some envy: "From the sixth grade, the www.biquge.info of the champion's pen fun pavilion is higher than the others." There is a custom for the first three people to confer officials, and the Xu family has known it for a long time, but this is not the main purpose of the Xu family, she said worriedly: "Brother Zhen'er has also done it over there, and it is the county order of a small county in the south." Xu said the name of the place, and Liu asked, "Where is it?" ”

"In the vicinity of Yangzhou."

Liu understood and said: "My brother-in-law Lin is an official in Yangzhou, and I asked my lord to write a letter and take care of Brother Zhen." ”

Xu smiled gratefully, which was one of her purposes. She was worried again: "This mountain is far away, Brother Zhen goes alone, and I don't know if I can take care of myself." ”

"Alone?" Liu was taken aback, "So, didn't Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law go with him?" ”

For this daughter-in-law, the Xu family was indebted at the beginning, after all, the Ning Mansion was not kind, and he hid that Jia Zhen of the Gu family had an eldest son, and the son was a greedy and lustful son, and the little Gu family was lighter, so he didn't like to stay in the main courtyard, and ran to his aunt all day long. Xiao Gu's was cold to his son, and Xu felt guilty and didn't care.

Now I feel that Xiao Gu is not sensible. Originally, the Xu family was reluctant to let Jia Zhen out, and the daughter-in-law didn't follow to take care of her son, wouldn't the son have to endure hardship? Therefore, there was some complaint in her heart, and she only reluctantly said when she heard this, "Brother Rong is too young, and the Gu family is reluctant to let the child suffer." ”

Liu frowned and said, "This, Brother Rong is about the same age as my family Lian'er, right?" It's also far away. What's more, Brother Zhen is an official outside, how can no one take care of it? ”

Xu agreed: "Not really. It's just that when you go out to socialize with those officials and wives, you can't let your aunt come forward, right? ”

Liu sighed, "If you want me to say, Brother Zhen is too nonsense." I heard that one of his aunts made a fuss in front of Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law again and made her angry, but? ”

It stands to reason that the Liu family is closer to the Xu family, but the Da Gu family is the sister-in-law of the Liu family, and it is quite reasonable to say it when she is in the boudoir. said that they became a grudge couple, and Liu did not regret it in his heart.

Jia Zhen's lustful problem has not changed at all, his father has repeatedly reprimanded him for not spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, he promised well, turned around and went to his aunt's house, choking Jia Jing and his wife enough.

The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and he secretly scolded the people of the Ning Mansion for not keeping the door open, Xu Shi couldn't wipe his face, and said in a concealed manner: "Brother Zhen'er's problem, it's useless to say it, I and his daughter-in-law don't know how many tears have fallen behind my back." ――Brother and sister, you are from the past, why don't you teach her? I always have to persuade her to agree to accompany Brother Zhen to go out, then it will be three years! ”

Liu's face flushed.

Jia Yu was also like this when he was young, and he has restrained his temperament since he married Liu. The Xu family wants the Liu family to teach Xiao Gu's imperial husband's technique.

Jia Hu was also talking to Jia Zhen about his release, and asked, "But it's decided?" ”

Jia Zhen said affirmatively: "The words have been given, and the appointment has been issued by the Ministry of Officials." ”

"That's good." Nodding, Jia Hu asked again, "Does Uncle have any staff for you?" ”

"Not yet," Jia Zhen was also a little worried, "It's hard to find those who have the ability, and my father only got one or two under his account, and I was about to ask my father-in-law to find it for me." ”

Jia Hu shook his head, obviously hearing about Brother Zhen'er and his daughter-in-law's, and said: "In the past, I always gave your daughter-in-law face, but when it came, didn't you ask for others?" ”

Jia Zhen was embarrassed and said dryly: "That's not it, I still have to bow down and be small." He muttered again: "She is so big, she doesn't go out with me, and she has to ask her mother to ask her three times and four times." ”

"Your family cheated on the marriage first," Jia Hu said matter-of-factly, "Sister-in-law also gave birth to a sister-in-law for you." "Anyway, Xiao Gu's father is a household servant, and the Ning Mansion still depends on her mother's family. has a son-in-law, her mother's family is powerful, Xiao Gu is very confident, and naturally she doesn't want to look at Jia Zhen's face.

When it came to this, Jia Zhen was also aggrieved, and he didn't do it alone, so why should everyone blame him. He drank a few glasses of wine in a sullen voice, and Jia Yu, who was closing his eyes and looking intoxicated, shook his head and listened to the play: "The affairs of the inner courtyard of the people, Hu'er, what do you care about so much." ”

Jia Hu had no choice but to keep silent.

Jia Jing smiled and played a round game: "Brother Hu is also good for Brother Zhen." ”

Because of the unpleasantness at the beginning, Jia Zheng stretched his face, sat in the seat and only talked to Jia Jing, his waist was straight, in stark contrast to Jia Yu, who was enjoying himself. He said to Jia Zhen: "The concubines are all unacceptable, and they are just spoiled, and they can't save face for their wives." It was hard to say, as if it were an order.

Jia Zhen was unhappy, and said lightly: "Second uncle, let's take care of Aunt Zhao first." ”

Aunt Zhao has always loved to block the Xiao Wang family, and it is not Jia Zheng's favor that fights. Jia Zheng was stunned, but Jia Jing and Jia Yu didn't seem to hear it, no one helped him speak, he couldn't get up in one breath, and he couldn't get off the stage when he froze there.

A little maid ran over in a panic and said that Xiao Wang's family was about to give birth, so Jia Zheng left with a belly of anger under the pretext of worrying about his insider.

Jia Zhen looked at his departing back and said to Jia Hu: "Our good second uncle really takes himself seriously. When he finished speaking, Jia Jingcai reprimanded: "Don't talk about the elders!" ”

didn't pay attention to Jia Zhen's words, Jia Hu was thinking that the broken stone was about to come out. He was suddenly a little curious, Jia's mother died, would Baoyu in the second room still be so public? Or, the broken stone is going to go to the rich and noble township, and now that the second room of the Rong Mansion has been separated, will it still be Jia Baoyu?

Countless doubts filled Jia Hu's head, and when he asked his mother to say goodbye a few days later, Jia Hu asked casually, "By the way, the second aunt launched that day, what happened next?" ”

The son hadn't asked the brother-in-law's family for a long time, and Liu only said disgusted when he heard something from the outside: "You have heard about it too?" - The second brother is too out of tune! At the feet of the Son of Heaven, he dares to do such things, for fear that others will not know that Baoyu is different? ”

There is a strange thing, the boiling in Beijing: Najia Mansion, the second room of the old man's house separated from the Rongguo Mansion, his wife Xiao Wang gave birth to a son, this son fell into the fetus, and took a piece of colorful and crystal jade in his mouth, and there were many handwriting on it, so he named it Baoyu.

Liu's anger, Jia Hu thought it was true, whoever had such a thing happened to him, he didn't cover it tightly, so as not to attract the eyes of the above. Even Lin Ruhai, when her daughter was born, a hundred flowers bloomed, and she didn't dare to say anything. A daughter is still like this, Jia Baoyu is still a boy, born with jade, heh, he is not afraid of being jealous of the emperor.

He then asked, "Mother, have you ever seen your cousin's jade?" "Jia Hu is really tired of calling him 'Baoyu', and only calls him his cousin. Anyway, the scattered name is called by the poor people, and Jia Hu is not a poor person, so he can't call his name to suppress his blessings.

Liu nodded, Xiao Wang was in confinement at three o'clock, she helped Zhang Luo as a concubine, and Yuan Chun helped her on the side. The news almost spread throughout the capital as soon as Wen Po left Jiafu, and the people who came to participate in the washing were all the ladies and ladies in the relatives, and they passed on the jade to see.

"It's also strange that the woman swore that it came out of his mouth when the grass fell, and that there were ready-made eyes on it, but it always felt as if I had seen it somewhere."

"And ready-made eyes?" Jia Hu raised his eyebrows, pestered his mother and asked Jia Baoyu about the jade, Liu couldn't resist him, not only described it to him, but also said to him: "Your second aunt is going to do a big job in the full moon, and if you follow the master back, you will definitely be able to see it." ”

Originally, Jia Hu was thinking about taking a good look at the Tianmentian Stone at Jia Baoyu's full moon banquet, but he saw it in the palace first. Facing the emperor's questioning sitting on the golden throne, he knelt on the ground and replied sweaty, "The minister has not seen his cousin's jade, but if you think about it, there are many doubts in it. ”

The emperor went down to the early court today, and King Cheng came to ask for an audience, which was about the arrears of the treasury. The household department can recover most of the arrears, thanks to the Rongguo Mansion taking the lead in quietly repaying it, and the clever people will follow behind and repay part of it every year. If there is a part that cannot be repaid, the household department will reduce or reduce it as appropriate, as long as part of it is repaid first. To this day, those who have not intended to repay the money either do not know about this matter at all and have the idea that the law does not hold the public accountable, or they feel that the people in the household department dare not do anything to them, or they do not pay back the money.

The emperor smiled and said, "Who came up with this idea?" What a cramped ghost! Such a tricky way can also be come up. ”

It turned out that some families were crying poor, so King Cheng brought them the bills they spent outside on weekdays, and sincerely 'built yì' for them to save expenses and repay the loan in installments, and also proposed to send a few little eunuchs to follow the families of those officials all the time, especially the children who were not successful, to remind them not to be too extravagant and wasteful.

King Cheng set a standard, more than 20 taels of silver, the little eunuch reported, and King Cheng found officials to reason cordially and educate patriotism and loyalty.

Being stared at, where do those people dare to spend money lavishly, isn't it obvious that their family is bullying the king? What can you do with twenty taels of silver? Not enough for one meal! They are all accustomed to being sassy, and after a short time, they complain one by one, urging their father to return the money.

It's just that they can't do it, and there are old mothers who want to eat big fish and meat at home, and wives and daughters who want to buy new noodles and make new clothes. The whole family, including the officials themselves, couldn't stand this day, and they didn't dare to offend King Cheng, so they wanted to spend their own money happily, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it, and pay back the money owed to the treasury.

Who gave King Cheng the idea of bad damage?

This is also what those who can't move to become kings and get angry with people who come up with ideas want to know.

"It's Jahu." King Cheng didn't mind letting the emperor know that Jia Hu was his man.

"The son of Jia Enhou, the Duke of Rongguo?" The emperor looked up unexpectedly, thoughtfully, "I remember, you frequently ran to the Huangjue Temple some time ago, and it was related to his business?" ”

King Cheng said without changing his face: "Father may have made a mistake, right?" Jia Hu doesn't have that much face. Erchen has always been friendly with Master Zhiran, and his father also knows that when the master returns to Beijing, Erchen naturally wants to exchange more Buddhism while he is in Beijing. ”

There was a hint of a smile in his eyes, but the emperor's voice was very solemn, and no matter how King Cheng quibbled, he said to himself: "If you make this out, Jia Hu doesn't care about his parents' mood?" I have heard that Mrs. Jia washes her face with tears every day, and Jia Enhou can't sleep peacefully every night. As a son, he makes his parents so sad, aren't he afraid that others will say that he is unfilial? ”
