When Lord Forgiveness was in the shock of pie falling from the sky, the Rongguo Mansion next door was also shocked.

"Old lady, look at this......" Jia Zheng was at home today, and he was chatting with the Qing guests when he heard people coming and going. It is said that the holy decree came to the Earl's Mansion next door, and the eldest lord was promoted to a first-class marquis, or the decree of the chief steward Dai next to the old saint came to announce it.

As soon as the news fell, the second master of politics was in no mood to fart with people anymore, so he hurriedly asked Mr. Dai if he was still there, and after hearing that the person had left, he ran to his mother after a little hesitation. There's no way, the second master is used to it, but if there's anything that's not easy to do, just ask his mother.

Jia's mother is also very well-informed, Jia Zheng already knew it before she arrived, and her face was gloomy at this time, without the joy of her son's promotion to the knighthood. It is said that with her experience, the city should not be so happy and angry. But there was something wrong with today's events, and she couldn't help but think about it.

Rongguo Mansion is not separated, there is a will in the palace, no matter who it is passed on, the family should kneel together to receive the holy decree, why did he go directly to the next door today, and he didn't inform Rongxi Tang Zheng'er at all? If this is done today, Jia Mu can also think about it, after all, today's friendship with Jia Yu is not ordinary. But it turned out to be the meaning of the old sage, what does this mean?

Jia Mu didn't dare to think deeply, and immediately thought of another place. At the time of the founding of the dynasty, too. The ancestor once sealed the meritorious ministers, and the four kings and eight princes were sealed at that time. But since the old sage ascended the throne, although the reward is very generous, but in the title is very stingy, not only will not be canonized to the high title, and then the reduction of the title is even more ruthless.

For example, their Jia family, the duke of the country when the founding of the country was founded, but they can't even get a marquis or earl when they pass it on. Although the old lady of her family is the duke of Chengguo, she also fought the battlefield. The Ning Mansion next door doesn't have such credit, isn't it just a generation of national princes, the second generation has become a first-class Shenwei general, and then a third-class general.

On that day, Jia Yu was promoted to a first-class uncle, but when the flood was raging, he offered cement, which was barely a great achievement, which is also reasonable. But what about this time? And because of what, he actually promoted that evil seed to a higher rank?

Jia Mu was puzzled, and Jia Zheng next to her asked anxiously, and couldn't help but be a little irritable. She frowned and closed her eyes slightly, and the mandarin duck on the side didn't need to be said, so she hurriedly leaned over to help her gently massage the corners of her forehead. Seeing that Jia Mu's expression relaxed a little, she slowly spoke: "Old lady, the eldest lord has been promoted, this is also a great thing in our house, you might as well invite the eldest lord to come over and discuss how to celebrate." ”

"Well, the mandarin duck is right, this thing really needs to be celebrated. Zheng'er, you go and invite him over, let's discuss it well. "Anyway, call someone over first. Jia Mu opened her eyes and solemnly instructed Jia Zhengdao.

Even though Jia Zheng was a little reluctant in his heart, he still respectfully accepted the order. He has been a petty official in the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years, and he almost doesn't know what it feels like to be promoted. But Jia Yu, who is not as good as him, has a title that jumps up and down, which makes him embarrassed!

Alas, that is, Jia Yu is the most good at playing tricks, and he has temporarily blinded the Holy Hearing, and sooner or later he will have to fall.

"Call him in." When the second political elder came, the old man was worried in the study, and he was weak. Ming'er has to go to thank him, I don't know what the old saint is, and now the Rongqing Hall is here to join in the fun. But it's no wonder that this holy decree came strangely, and it was strange that Jia Shishi didn't think about it in his heart.

"My brother has been promoted to marquis, I congratulate you here." With dry congratulatory words in his mouth, the second master of Zheng barely suppressed the envy and jealousy in his heart, but he still preached: "My brother has been promoted one after another, because the sage values the loyalty and kindness of my Jia family for generations, and is determined to promote and support, which is the emperor's grace." In the future, the elder brother should be more diligent and motivated, be cautious in his words and deeds, control himself, and never let down the emperor's grace. ”

What I said is really unpleasant to hear, Lord Forgiveness!

"Second brother, don't blame me for speaking ugly, I don't need you to worry about it here, and you don't have that qualification. Let me say, if you can worry about your own wife and children, that is to give Lao Jia's parents face. By the way, I heard Zhang Shilang say, your evaluation last year was not good, I can't say that if this year is still like this, I will have to go back to the main work from the outsider next year. your mind more! ”

These words made Jia Zheng's face red, and he wanted to refute but didn't know how to speak. Indeed, since Jia Yu became the secretary of the Ministry of Works, he has been in the evaluation for many years, and if there is no improvement this year, I am afraid that he will really be demoted. But what is the reason for this?!

Hmph, I think he Jia Zheng Jia Cunzhou, after entering the Ministry of Workers, he has been excellent in the evaluation every year, why did he become poor under Jia Yu? is not that snobbish, knowing that he does not deal with Jia Yu, he deliberately targeted and suppressed him, so as to flatter Jia Yu. What a good thing, I still have the face to say it, it's really insulting!

Thinking of this, probably feeling comforted in his heart, the second master of Zheng's face calmed down, and said with disdain in his eyes: "Don't talk about this, the matter of evaluation is fair and comfortable in the hearts of the people." Today, the old lady heard that you had been promoted to a knighthood and asked you to come over to discuss the celebration of the wine, so come with me. "If it's possible, I really don't want to say a word to this kind of person.

The old man only glanced at him, and took the lead in throwing up his sleeves and leaving. He can see that this second politician is also used to deceiving himself. I don't know what he thinks, but he thinks that someone is targeting him about the evaluation, and his thoughts are too dark.

He didn't want to think about it, if he really did a good job, he could still not move his nest for more than ten years? gave him a favor at the beginning, but he just took care of the face of Rongguo Mansion, and now he doesn't give him a favor, it's just that the master makes people judge fairly.

When the eldest lord arrived at Rongqing Hall, it was quite lively inside, and many clansmen who had received the news had already come in to say goodbye. Of course, it's also to see if there are any benefits to be touched. At this time, when I saw the eldest man enter the upper room, they all got up and said hello, and the junior kowtowed on the spot to beg for a reward.

"Good, good, good! I'm happy today, every family in the clan has a red seal, and no one rewards two gold bills for anyone who goes down with jade characters. In addition, the people in the house also have rewards, and the monthly money has doubled this month. Old lady, do you think there is anything wrong with this arrangement? The old man gave a generous reward, and only then did he look at Jia Mu with a smile and ask.

Jia Mu's face was also full of smiles, and Lisuo nodded in praise: "It should be like this." This is a great joy for our Jia family, and it should make them all happy. The second family, you worry about this, don't make any mistakes. She understood what Jia Yu meant, but she just wanted the Rong Mansion to pay for the silver. This should have been, and she didn't refute him.

Seeing that the old lady pushed the matter over lightly, Mrs. Wang almost turned her back on her eyes. Since she did those few family tricks for Baoyu a few years ago, even if the injuries on her body are healed, her body is not as good as before. Now that I heard that this matter of spending money fell on my own head, I was so scared that a mouthful of blood gushed up, and my heart and liver hurt so much that I couldn't do it.

The Jia family is in the capital's eight rooms!

There are hundreds of people in Rongguo Mansion!

His mother and son touched their mouths and mouths, and she had to reward her with as much gold and silver!

"Yu'er, you can be promoted to marquis, that is the emperor's grace. It's just that I'm still confused, is there anything to say about this, but what credit have you made for the court? You are a child, too, if this is the case, you should not hide it from your family, and you should let us know that you can be honored. ”

When Jia Mu said this, her tone was very kind and kind, and she almost grabbed the eldest master's hand and rubbed it. Master Pardon listened to it on the side, but he was very uncomfortable, only to feel that his hairs stood on end, and goosebumps rose all over his body. This old lady doesn't know what kind of demon she wants to be, it's such a style, what does she want to do?!

"It's nothing, but at the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Industry improved a few new farm tools, and now I heard that it has been effective. The old sage has always attached importance to farming, and it is often said that farming is the foundation of the world. Therefore, my small credit made his old man see it, and he got today's reward. ”

"That's right. Zheng'er is also in the Ministry of Industry, why don't you know about this? Aren't you involved? When Jia's mother heard this, she looked at Jia Zheng, and saw him with a confused look, and hated not only iron but not steel, but also Jia Yu for not being considerate of his younger brother. Since there is such a good thing, why not hand it over to Zheng'er to do, and now you can get a piece of the pie with the credit.

"That's not supposed to be. Second, the whole ministry attaches great importance to it, not only has it repeatedly tested the role of farm tools, but also specially designated a few villages to try it, which should be the responsibility of your department. Such a big thing, you don't know it? Master Pardon smiled, crossed Erlang's leg and nodded Jia Zhengdao, almost saying that he was derelict in his duties.

Of course the second master doesn't know!

Although he went to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry every day, he was idle most of the time, and he left everything to the officials below to do. After all, the errand of the Ministry of Industry has to deal with craftsmen all day long, which is really a bit lowly, and the second master of his government still retains the lofty self-esteem of a literati, and he has not to bend his waist for these five buckets of rice, humiliating Sven and himself. But I didn't expect it......

"This ...... Nature is aware. Suppressing the remorse in his heart, Jia Zheng straightened his face and said: "It's just that this matter is the credit of the entire Ministry of Industry for working together, and my brother should listen to it now, don't sit back and enjoy his success alone." ”

"Huh!" Master Yu really didn't want to deal with him, turned his head to look at Mother Jia, and asked, "Old lady, but there are other things, if there is no me, I will go back." I have to enter the palace tomorrow to thank you, and it's not good to go listlessly. ”

"No, you can go back." Jia Mu was a little deflated. She glared at her youngest son angrily, and she could tell what was going on. It's just that it's even more strange for Jia Yu, who knew that there would be merit, but he didn't know how to remind Zheng'er, and he was really a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be raised.
