The pond is waterlogged, the red lotus reflects the sun, and there are rockeries and weeping willows fluttering.

Wei Qian and Wang Xifeng were talking in the Huxin Pavilion.

At this time, Wang Xifeng didn't have so many city mansions, and when he saw that there was no one around, he said, "It's a coincidence today." I didn't expect to meet you early in the morning and rush back. ”

Wei Qian didn't know why, the maid Huan'er next to Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and smiled: "My young lady thought about looking for the girl yesterday." But yesterday afternoon happened to diverge and didn't catch up. ”

Wang Xifeng clapped his hands: "Isn't it?" Originally, I heard yesterday that my sister was married, so I hurried over to see the situation. I didn't want to catch you up to Nanshan to incense, so I came here today to try my luck. "Wang Xifeng and Wei Qian have a good relationship, and they also know Wei Qian's habits, generally speaking, they will live in Doumu Temple for a few days. It's just a matter of luck to come here today.

Wei Qian smiled reluctantly: "I spent a day in the mountains with my mother yesterday, please take care of my sister." ”

Wang Xifeng has a sharp temperament, speaks quickly, and waves his hand: "What are you talking about between me and you?" However, looking at Wei Qian's face, the girl flashed a trace of worry: "Your marriage spread very quickly, I inquired with my father, and it is said that it was decided when several adults drank together." If it spreads so quickly, I'm afraid it's not easy to do, and if you refuse, it will also affect your reputation. ”

Wei Qian didn't say anything, and Hongchun next to her said: "No, yesterday the lady and the master made a fuss about this matter!" ”

"Tsubaki!" Wei Qian's voice raised, and Hong Chun didn't dare to say any more.

How can family ugliness be publicized? Wei Qian was dissatisfied with Hongchun's frizzy temperament, and said, "I just came back, and I happened to be thirsty." You go to the water room and get some water. Wei Qian's eyes swept around and said to Wang Xifeng: "What kind of tea does my sister drink?" ”

Wang Xifeng immediately understood, and said to Huan'er: "Huan'er, you know my taste, go with Hongchun." ”

"Yes." The two maids went down, and Wang Xifeng said: "I heard my father say that Master Huang Yuan is probably going to be transferred." Yesterday, a few adults drank wine, and it was for him to practice. ”

"Transferred?" Wei Qian thoughtfully: "He didn't leave with his family? ”

"I don't think so. Don't you think that you feel that your family has no support after leaving, so you are ready to find a helper for your in-laws with the help of marriage? ”

Wei Qian listened, frowning. If that's the case, I'm afraid it's not easy to refuse this marriage!

……

"What did you say!" Jia Mei looked panicked, and hurriedly sent her back left and right, leaving only herself and Mrs. Huang. "Sister means ......"

"The saint is very old today, and I heard that a few days ago he had a cold and was sick for a few days. Now that the hearts of the people in the DPRK are fluctuating, it just as my family is going to be transferred to Suzhou, do you think those highnesses will sit idly by? Mrs. Huang said slowly and in a clear manner.

Before coming, Huang Yuan told her about the current situation, and this marriage is imperative. Not only Mrs. Huang to Jia Mei, Huang Yuan will also have a good chat with Wei Yan.

Jia Mei listened quietly, she had settled in Chang'an since she was a child, and her father Rong Guogong was also a saint's confidant, and he knew more about the affairs of Daming Palace than Mrs. Huang.

With waves in his heart, he secretly thought: "My father is a pure minister, but my body has become worse and worse over the years, and without my father in charge, the only way for Rongguo Mansion to maintain its former glory is from the dragon." ”

Jia Mei understood too well that Jia Daishan's arrangement for his two sisters-in-law was to be one article and one martial arts, in order to support each other in the court in the future.

But the two sons are not outstanding people, Jia Zheng has repeatedly failed the imperial examination, and now he is doing nothing, but Jia Daishan came forward to donate a petty official and stayed in the Ministry of Industry. As the heir, Jia Yu's initial training route was military generals, after all, Jia Fu was born with martial arts and military merits. But with the absence of war in the DPRK and China in these years, not only Jiafu, but also the people of the four kings and eight princes and the major noble families who took the route of military merit and military generals have been pitted. Not to mention entering the cabinet to worship the prime minister, the only one who is the best mixed is Wang Ziteng, and there is still a long way to go before entering the cabinet.

It seems that this is the instinct of all dynasties. With the rise of peace in the four seas, weakening the magnates, the emperor concentrated military power, which was the only way.

Seeing this, Jia Daishan also rested his mind and concentrated on cultivating the heirs of the jade character generation, taking the road of the imperial examination, and wanting to break into the side of Wenchen. There is only one requirement for Jia Yu, the rich family and the noble marquis, and the support of Jiafu is not to fall. On the contrary, he still has some expectations for Jia Zheng, and seems to want him to go further and ensure that Jia Mansion is prosperous.

"But my father thought well, but my two brothers were unwilling to do so." Jia Mei heard Jia Yu mention that Jia Yu had the intention to choose a prince to bet on to protect the title of Duke of Rongguo from the dragon's merits.

"My eldest brother is like this, and my second brother must be like this." Jia Mei's expression changed, and she couldn't help but think of her home.

Seeing that Mrs. Huang had been waiting for a long time, Jia Meifang said, "Where did the princes come from?" The East Palace is still there, and we are loyal to serve the country, that is, His Majesty has something unexpected, and the future will also be the successor of the crown prince. ”

The relationship between Jia Fu and the crown prince is good, this is the path that Jia Daishan chose early on. Loyal to the monarch and the country, loyal to His Majesty and the crown prince.

But what should be the relationship between the two monarchs?

"Now that the emperor is getting older, and the prince is in the prime of life, he is sharp, what will happen during this period, my sister should understand it when she is full of poetry and books."

"......" Since ancient times, the most taboo point is that the emperor is declining and the East Palace is strong, which dynasty has few deposed princes? Otherwise, what are those princes fighting for?

Mrs. Huang said a little, and said: "My husband has no intention of getting involved, and wants to learn from Rong Guogong to serve the country loyally, but unfortunately there has been no way." ”

Jia Daishan is a pure minister loyal to His Majesty, and through his name, he can avoid the coercion of some princes and ensure neutrality for the time being.

Jia Mei pondered, squinting, she heard the voice outside the words, Huang Yuan wanted to go the way of Jiafu. She knew that her father did not want to befriend the generals at the moment, but began to find a way to establish a good relationship with the ministers. Huang Yuan is the road to the imperial examination, and the current official worship of the assassination history, the future may not be the day when he will not arrive at the Xuanzheng Palace.

"My father said that the world is governed by literature, so Brother-in-law Lin was born in Tanhua. In order to give Jia Fu the future of the courtiers. How similar is my Wei Mansion to Jia Mansion at present? They all started with martial arts, and if they want to go on for a long time, the next generation must also take the path of the imperial examination. Jia Mei thought about Wei Qian's marriage.

What do you say about marrying ordinary people? That's the most impossible thing, Jia Mei is from everyone, how can she allow her daughter to do this?

"Qian'er's future husband is just a powerful prince, but the military generals deliberately ignore it, joining the royal family is the most unlucky, and Wenchen ......"

At present, it seems that Huangfu can still be used as a candidate.

Just thinking of her daughter's attitude, Jia Mei was reluctant and wavered in her heart.

"Sister, I heard that Governor Zhang of the Jiangnan camp is preparing to be transferred?"

With a sudden burst in her heart, Jia Mei looked at Mrs. Huang in disbelief. The lady played with a jade bracelet and rested it on the table: "Give this thing to the girl to play with." ”

Jia Mei was silent, and said: "I don't understand the affairs of the court. Do you need to ask the master when you go back? ”

"This is natural, but my sister is a clever person after all, and she should know the truth that cooperation is beneficial to both sides." After speaking, Shanshan left.

As soon as she left, Jia Mei immediately greeted Steward Huang: "Go and see if the master has come back!" I was waiting for him in the study. ”

Of course, Jia Mei heard what Mrs. Huang meant, this time not only Huang Yuan was going to be transferred to Suzhou to serve as the assassin, but several generals in the entire Jiangnan camp also began to move left and right. Wei Yan once mentioned to Wei Qian that he wanted to take this opportunity to mention his position, and it would be best if he could mix a grade general.

Soon, Wei Yan came to the study. Jia Mei split her head and asked: "The governor of the capital is the great Sima, and he will enter the cabinet to pay respects to the prime minister, which position do you want at that time?" ”

"What, Mrs. Huang is here?" Wei Yan's face was as usual, he sat down, picked up the teacup, and saw that there was only half-cold tea in it, so he was bored, and said, "I saw Brother Huang today, he meant to help me further obtain the position of the ranger general." ”

"Ranger General? From the location of the three products? What's the matter, Lord Chen is also going to be transferred? Jia Mei was stunned: "I heard that Governor Zhang is going to be transferred to Chang'an, isn't it a parachute in a Jiangnan governor, but a promotion from below?" ”

"Listening to the rumors, it seems that the two deputies have chosen one of the top positions, and you also know that the current situation is unclear, and this Jiangnan camp is also in the attention of those in Beijing. The Jiangnan camp is well managed, and it is a big help when fighting for the throne. I am afraid that there is a game in the transfer of official positions. Huang Yuan does not belong to any prince's power, at this moment he is transferred to Suzhou, if he can pull me, we can watch and help each other later. ”

Huang Yuan is not a prince, but Huang Yuan also has a lot of close friends in Chang'an, including people from the military department and people from the official department. Otherwise, he would not have been able to transfer away at this time.

Wei Yan knocked on the table, Jia Mei was too lazy to fight with him, and ordered someone to serve tea.

"Can't my father help you, and you have to help from Huang Yuan's side? Do you have to sell your daughter? Jia Mei was a little dissatisfied.

"Sell your daughter? What do you know about this woman! This marriage is a major matter for the parents to decide, and this marriage is not only related to my future, even the child in your belly has to rely on this marriage. Don't forget, who is Huang Yuan's master? ”

Huang Yuan's imperial examination path, Bai Ding is an official, and he is a bright and bright minister.

"He entered the Hanlin Academy, and the teacher is a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, in the future, when this boy in your belly is born, do you still need to take the imperial examination?" For the military attaché, Wei Yan was completely desperate. His brother-in-law is not yet in the right position, but he is the eldest son of the prince of the dynasty!

He didn't think he would be able to give his son a good position in the future.

"With the help of this marriage, how much less wrong roads can our son take in the future?"

Jia Mei was dumbfounded, this idea was not only Wei Yan, but also Jia Daishan. So Jia Min married the Lin family, and Jia Daishan spent a lot of effort to cultivate Lin Ruhai, in order not to let Lin Ruhai take care of the descendants of Jiafu in the future?

"Besides, my father-in-law has already handed over most of the military power over the years, where can I interfere with the Jiangnan camp at present?" Wei Yan understands the situation better than Jia Mei, and at present, Jia Daishan handed over the military power early and showed loyalty to the emperor who did not stain the military power, so as to ensure the peace of the Rongguo Mansion.

"That'...... The two deputy commanders, I remember that one of them is the Zhen family......" Jia Mei thought of her old relatives: "If he is the governor of Jiangnan, won't he be able to promote you at that time?" ”

"But then you'll be in line!" Wei Yan took a sip of hot tea: "Don't forget, the Zhen family is the backer of the five princes." ”

"And that Zhu Deputy Dutong is the prince's person. This internal transfer of the Jiangnan camp involves the battle between the crown prince and the five princes, and I don't dare to get close to it casually. ”

"So, you have to go from Huang Yuan's side?" Jia Mei questioned: "Can Huang Yuan's own connections help you go further?" His teacher is a secretary of the ministry, but he is not, why should he help you? ”

"That's why we need this marriage." Wei Yan patiently explained: "Huang Yuan was transferred, but his wife and children stayed in Jinling, where did he come from Bai Ding's old family?" Don't you need to rely on your in-laws? To help me is to help himself, and he understands proportion. ”

Speaking of this step, Jia Mei had no choice but to say: "Fang Cai, the sister of the Huang family left the jade bracelet for Qian'er, go back and see what kind of gift to give?" ”

Once and again, this is the preliminary marriage.

"You're in charge!" Wei Yan never personally asked about this business.

Jia Mei thought about it, ordered someone to get a pair of gold locks, and then asked her henchmen to send the jade bracelet to Wei Qian.

Wei Qian was tasting the snacks sent by Mrs. Wei with Wang Xifeng at the moment. Huang Yang, Hongchun, and Huan'er stayed on the side, and the two daughters talked and laughed, until Jia Mei sent someone to send Yuhuan, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Hongchun couldn't help but say, "Miss? ”

Wei Qian played with the jade bracelet, this jade bracelet was finely made, the green jade color was bright and round, and a winged bird was carved on it.

"Sister?" Wang Xifeng understood what was going on, and when he saw this, he had to be comforted.

Playing with the jade bracelet and gently tapping on the tabletop, the yellow wood on the side was tense, for fear that Wei Qian would break the jade bracelet in anger. If the jade bracelet is broken, it is small, but if the marriage of Weifu is broken, it will be a big deal!

Suddenly, a crisp laugh sounded, Wei Qian raised her head and smiled: "Sister, don't worry, I know." He put the jade bracelet on his wrist and raised it to look at Wang Xifeng: "Sister, what do you think?" ”

"Pretty good." As soon as Wang Xifeng finished speaking, he felt speechless, and said: "My sister looks good in anything." ”

Wei Qian smiled and said to Huang Yang: "You are here with my sister, and I will go and show my mother." As he spoke, he dragged the red toon and ran to Jia Mei's side.

When he left the place where Wang Xifeng's eyes could see, Wei Qian's speed stopped.

"Miss?" Hongchun followed closely behind, and when she saw Wei Qian stop, she hurriedly stepped forward.

"I'm fine." Taking a breath, Wei Qian turned her head: "With your current expression, can you see people?" ”

looked at his own young lady, with a beautiful little face with red eyes.

"Miss, your eyes."

"Then go wash first." Wei Qian endured her affection: "Mother should be choosing a return gift?" I'm going to see for myself. ”

"Miss, you ......" Hongchun gritted her teeth: "If you don't agree to this marriage, we'll find a way." ”

"Don't worry, it's only been a few years, and the future will have to be tossed." Wei Qian found water and wiped the corners of her eyes: "My seventeen-year-old girl has no power or wealth, and the top priority is to recuperate and accumulate hole cards." Otherwise, my good father would not have listened to me. ”
