Chapter 25: Countermeasures

Didn't Shi Shi want Jia Zheng to be promoted by virtue of the imperial examination and join the cabinet as a marquis, why did he think about letting Jia Zheng compete with Jia Yu for the title?

It turned out that Shi Shi originally thought that his second son loved to read, and if he entered the government and had the support of the Guogong Mansion, high-ranking officials would be indispensable in the future; The second son is close and filial to himself, ten million times better than the eldest son who only cares about the old lady.

But who would have thought that Jia Zheng would be praised at home as having nothing in the sky and on the earth, but he didn't even get the fame of a talent when he went out. Once Jia Daishan goes, Jia Zheng Shouxiao will definitely delay the scientific examination, and the title of the gold list does not know what year it will wait for, and the Jinshi in the examination is also to start from the petty officials of the sixth or seventh grade and slowly boil up, and it is difficult to say whether Jia Yu will use his family connections to dredge up for Jia Zheng and seek promotion.

But if there is a title, then there is no need to worry about Jia Zheng's future, or even Jia Zheng's children, they only need to show their wealth and glory for a lifetime; If Jia Zheng's ability is valued by the king and reused in the court, it is not impossible to suppress Jia Yu.

In this way, the title of the gold list that is far away and unknown is not as close as it is in front of you, and it looks like a title that is at your fingertips.

Shi Shi had a good idea, she thought, although the previous holy decree stated that it would definitely be the eldest son to attack the lord, but if Jia Yu was unwilling, he must give the title to the younger brother when he wrote to the court, and the court could not force the bull head to drink water In this way, even if the title of the second son is downgraded, the second son can get rid of the identity of the white body and have the qualification to confront the eldest brother, and if the eldest son is not filial in the future, he can also go to live with the second son; As for the eldest son, he has both merit and a good reputation for filial piety and humility, and the court will definitely praise him, and it is definitely not a problem to be awarded a knighthood.

At a cursory glance, if this is really done, the branch of Jia Jiarong's Mansion will be a double lord, and the brothers will be sealed, which makes people extremely proud, but if you look closely, this will not benefit Jia Yu at all.

If he writes to resolutely ask for a knight, then there may be three possible outcomes: first, the court does not allow it, and he will be a knight at the original level, but he will also give Jia Zheng an official; Second, the emperor agreed, and he was knighted; The third is the worst situation: the emperor allowed Jia Zheng to attack the knighthood, but as for his Jia pardon, he was only given a fictitious title for his merits, and he was not given a title or only a title that sounded good but was actually useless, and he would never be reused!

No matter which one it is, Jia Zheng can benefit, either as an official or as a knight. But he will not get anything except a "good name" of "respect and filial piety", but he is likely to be rejected by the emperor because of this, so that the emperor thinks that he is proud of his merits and begging for the title, and from then on he will only be given a false title and idle title, so all the efforts he made before will be in vain!

If his father was not sick, Jia Yu was completely sure that his father would see the bad impact that this would have on him, but now Jia Daishan is very sick, Shi and Jia Zheng are both sick in front of him every day, and they can bewitch Jia Daishan from time to time, once people are seriously ill, they will be confused, Jia Yu is afraid that his father will be moved by them, and he will really let himself give up his title, but at that time, he will not let him? If you make a noise, your father will not be able to hide the matter of his serious illness and death soon, and the old lady will not be able to hide it, how can the old man be so old?

And let him give up the knighthood at the risk of ruining the good impression he had so hard to leave there today, why! Jia Zheng can stay in one place for the rest of his life, but he can't! Without real power and no emperor's heart, how can he keep his wife and children in the upcoming turmoil, and how can he prevent the Jia family from embarking on that road of no return

was originally a title that belonged to him, why should he give it to Jia Zheng, who had never made any effort but wanted to sit back and enjoy it? If you want your father to have a dying life and take away what he bought with his life, don't even think about it!

Jia Yu sat alone in the room and pondered, Xiao Sheng heard the sound of broken utensils and didn't dare to come in, stopped outside the house and asked, "Uncle?" ”

Jia Yu came back to his senses: "Come in." ”

When Xiao Sheng came in, he saw a mess on the ground, and Jia Yu ordered lightly: "I accidentally broke the things sent by my wife, you can find someone to clean it up." ”

Xiao Sheng lowered his head and responded: "Yes, uncle." "The things on the ground don't look like they were unintentionally knocked over, but the master's business, what do you want her to say as a slave? Since the uncle said that it was unintentional, it was unintentional.

Jia Yu stopped talking and got up to leave.

Zhang Xian finished taking care of today's housework, and when she returned to herself, she saw her husband sitting alone at the kang table, holding his head with one hand, and I don't know if he was closing his eyes or sleeping. Without opening the window, the room was a little dark, and somehow, Zhang Xian felt that she saw a lonely aura on her husband's body.

made a gesture for the maid Qinyin to take a stone blue blanket, Zhang Xian lightly put it on her husband's lap, and then her hand was pulled: "Enhou? ”

"Well, tranquility." Jia Yu pulled her with one hand and waved with the other, and the maids retreated consciously and silently, and then Jia Yu pulled his wife to his side, feeling that it was still not enough, anyway, Zhang Xian was petite, so he pulled her into his arms and hugged her.

When the sky was still bright, her husband behaved so closely, Zhang Xian was at a loss for a while, and pushed him: "Enhou, it's not good for people to see." "Father-in-law Jia Daishan is still sick, and the couple can't tell the truth.

"It's okay, it's all from our yard anyway." Jia Yu only hugged his wife, but he didn't speak, and after a while, when Zhang Xian almost suspected that her husband was asleep, he said sullenly: "Anning, in the future, we can't be partial to our children, no matter which one they are." ”

Zhang Xian's heart moved, and she made a small joke: "Hu'er and Qiong'er, which one does the uncle want to favor?" ”

"None of them can be biased." Jia Yu replied seriously, and felt that his tone seemed to be too strict, and added: "And our future children, we can't be partial to them." ”

Zhang Xian was embarrassed for a while, her eyes wandered and she didn't dare to look at him, so she saw an open letter on the table, which was written in beautiful hairpin letters, but it didn't seem to be her handwriting.

was shocked in her heart, Zhang Xian looked at her husband, stretched out her hand to take the letter, Jia Yu did not stop her, and only looked at her with a playful eye. Zhang Xian took a closer look, and it was really not her own words, and there was a flow of romance between the lines, and she was annoyed in her heart, and said angrily: "This handwriting is very beautiful, the words are like their people, and the person who writes must be beautiful like jade, I don't know which confidante of the uncle gave it to the uncle?" ”

His wife's jealous expression was extremely cute, Jia Yu almost burst out laughing, and her mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and she deliberately teased her: "If it's really someone I raised outside, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Xian turned around and said: "How dare I do it, our family does not have the family rule that only children in their thirties and forties can take concubines, and the uncle is powerful, powerful and meritorious, that is, it is okay to accept dozens of concubines and raise hundreds of beauties to fill this yard. ”

Jia Yu realized that it seemed to be a little too much, and hurriedly pulled his wife's body back, and said with a smile: "With you as a little vinegar jar, where do I dare to raise any beauty, and you won't drive me out when the time comes." Without your mother and son, I would have so many beauties, so what's the fun. ”

Saying that, he took the troublesome letter from his wife's hand, Zhang Xian still wanted to see it, Jia Yu had already put it in the box, and then held her hand and said: "You don't have to worry, I have seen everything you have done for me over the years, and I will not fail you." ”

Zhang Xian's eyes were hot, and she changed the topic and said, "Uncle hasn't said which girl gave it." ”

Speaking of this, Jia Yu's face sank slightly, and then smiled shallowly: "You don't have to worry. He leaned close to his wife's ear and whispered, "You can't guess that it was indeed written by an indecent woman, but not for me, but for the second brother." ”

Zhang Xian almost exclaimed, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes full of surprise.

That letter doesn't look normal, which serious woman would write a letter to a man with a foreign surname who is not her husband, and even the handwriting is bewitching? I didn't expect my brother-in-law Jia Zheng to look at such a serious person, and he actually ・・・・・・

Faced with his wife's question, Jia Yu smiled silently, if it weren't for the fact that day when he came back late because of the matter of the third prince, this letter would not have fallen into his hands by accident, Rao is he also couldn't have imagined that Jia Zheng looked at Duan Fang Yan sΓΉ is not close to the woman, he actually raised a thin horse in Jinling before, and even better, the thin horse is now actually chasing his son to the capital.

He is not only looking for a famous doctor these days, but also investigating this matter. He found out that the thin horse and the gang were all liars, and on the way to the capital to cheat, they encountered bandits who lost their money when they escaped, and at the same time found out that the Jia family where Jia Zheng was located was extremely rich, so he thought about extorting or defrauding a sum of money again, or having a bigger appetite, and sent the boy he bought as Jia Zheng's son and the thin horse into the Jia family.

These are the truths he found out, but - my father is seriously ill, and he doesn't need to know too much, and the sick person can't be too angry!

Early the next morning, Jia Yu took people out of the house, and when he came back at noon, he didn't go to the old lady, but went straight to Jia Daishan's place to recuperate. At this hour, Jia Daishan should have drunk the medicine, the maids sent the decoction, Jia Zhengzheng took a silver spoon and scooped it to try whether it was hot or not, and when he saw Jia Yu, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Brother." ”

Jia Yu stared at this younger brother for a long time, and Jia Zheng was uncomfortable with him before he said, "Everyone let me out, and no one is allowed to come in without an order." ”

Maids, women, you look at me, I look at you, no one moves, Jia Yu narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Why, didn't you hear it?" ”

A big maid hurriedly said: "Uncle, my wife said that there should be no one less in the house, so as not to let the master take care of him when he is unwell." ”

Jia Yu glanced at her: "Let me go out, don't let Uncle Ben say it again." ”

The maid still wanted to argue, but when she met the uncle's eyes, she suddenly shuddered, didn't dare to say any more, bowed her head and answered "yes", and withdrew from the house with the others.

Jia Yu took Jia Zheng into the back room, Shi was talking to Jia Daishan, and before Jia Yu could say anything, Jia Yu pointed to his father's bed and shouted to Jia Zheng: "You kneel down for me and the old lady!" ”
