Chapter 111: Five Years Later
Chen Jia was named the county lord of the matter spread among the officials, the Cheng family suddenly became lively, Chen Jia was not at home, Chen saw that some noble ladies came to visit, at first Chen thought that it was for the eldest son Cheng Hu to say daughter-in-law, after all, Cheng Hu had just been promoted, and the reception was particularly enthusiastic, but everyone who came praised Chen Jia, how could a benevolent county lord be, Chen did not know that the benevolent county lord meant Chen Jia, no matter what those noble ladies said, she just smiled and listened, or nodded in approval.
Fortunately, Steward Chen is worthy of being a steward in a large family, and he registered all the gifts received by Chen, preparing how to return the gifts.
Chen Jia also received congratulatory gifts from Sun Aoting and Yang Mingyuan.
On the second day, Cheng Erniu came to the door, saying that now that the eldest nephew and eldest niece are out of the house, they should also help Cheng Zhen and Cheng Cheng more, and let Cheng Dazhuang ask Chen Jia to go to the emperor to talk about it, and make an official for his son. Cheng Dazhuang had to take out his eldest brother's style to teach him a lesson, and told him that he was an official by his ability, if he was willing, he could let his two sons be soldiers and go to the front line to find Cheng Hu, Cheng Erniu listened to it, and went back angrily. Before leaving, he left the words and asked Chen Jia to meet the Qin family, if he didn't see it, it would be unfilial.
But he miscalculated, Chen heard about it and went directly to Cheng Zhen, asking him if he wanted to be an official, if necessary, he could say it himself, don't fake his hands to others, Cheng really wants to save face, with his talent and learning, he thinks that he is also ranked in the Shengjing Academy, where does he need Chen Jia's charity, he went back that night to warn Cheng Erniu and the Qin family, so that everyone should not disturb Chen Jia's family and affect his own examination. If you go to make trouble again, you will go back to Chengjia Village to farm. After all, the imperial examination will start about a month after the year. As soon as the Qin clan heard it, they immediately asked everyone to listen to Cheng Zhen's words, and they were not allowed to produce any more moths.
Shi Hailing asked Ayou to sue Chen Jia. said that she wanted to be Chen Jia's girl, and asked Chen Jia to take her in, Chen Jia went to see her, and saw that she really wanted to leave the farm, so he took her away, leaving only Haiyun's mother and daughter. However, Chen Jia regarded her as her best friend, so she naturally wouldn't let her do anything that a maid does. She even found fat powder and dai pen to teach her how to put on makeup, thicken her eyebrows, and thicken her lips to make her look a lot ordinary. However, for the sake of insurance, she was still allowed to live in Cheng Mansion and did not dare to take her to Taishi's Mansion.
It's a state banquet again, and Chen Jia recalls that the last state banquet seems to be just around the corner. The four beauties who were in the limelight last time. But things have long been wrong, and the ending is also ice and fire, and I sigh in my heart. Chen Jia didn't have the heart to dress up, so she let Mrs. Jiang put on an orange dress and a white fox fur cloak on the outside.
Chen Jia went to see Sun Ronghua and Yang Zhaoxue early in the morning, and the three chatted for a while before entering the Tongle Hall together. The feeling of the three of them talking together is still like being in the Taishi Mansion. Harmony and no taboos......
Seeing the Queen Mother again, Chen Jia stepped forward to salute. When the Queen Mother learned that Chen Jia was already the county lord, she was also amazed, Chen Jia was beautiful in her heart, and she was a little fluttering.
"Li Shengguo's envoy has arrived!" With the sound of the eunuch's duck-like announcement, everyone stopped whispering and looked up, but saw that Li Shengguo's envoy was a middle-aged man, with an ordinary appearance, nothing special, and he took a young guard into the Tongle Hall together. The guard was long, handsome, tall, and walked quite imposingly, and the appearance of the two of them coming in made Chen Jia wonder.
The envoy walked to his seat under the leadership of Jiang Wenhan and was about to take his seat, but he looked back at the guard, and Chen Jia caught a glimpse of the guard who seemed to nod slightly, and he took his seat. Jiang Wenhan sat next to them, communicating with them.
"If it weren't for my dazzle, this guard would be absolutely unusual, but who is he?" Chen Jia couldn't help but think about it.
"The envoy of the Wuji Kingdom has arrived!"
When Chen Jia heard this, he hurriedly looked at the door again, but saw that the envoy of Wuji Kingdom was a young man in his twenties, handsome and extraordinary, he entered the hall and finished saluting, King Xian hurriedly stepped forward to lead him to sit in the seat next to him, and the two chatted enthusiastically.
Chen Jia was still sitting next to Mrs. Jiang, but Mrs. Jiang said that this person was the prince of Wuji Kingdom, and the situation was comparable to that of King Xian, and the emperor of Wuji Country was also a new official, and this prince was also the emperor's own uncle. It's really a coincidence, it couldn't be more coincidental......
Chen Jia vaguely felt that someone was watching her, she scanned the crowd and found that it was the prince of Wuji Kingdom, and the other was Li Shengguo's guard. Chen Jia wondered, "Why am I so beautiful now?" Not to be outdone, she also looked back one by one, and her eyes were naked and provocative. is clearly saying: "Look at it, I haven't seen Lori!" "Which Cheng thought that the prince of Wuji Country would even hook the corners of his mouth at Chen Jia, and his eyes were discharged, which made Chen Jia stunned.
Chu Xiuyu was still the last to arrive. After some politeness, I got to the point, but this time I didn't let anyone come up to perform the show. It's just the sound of silk and bamboo, accompanied by a group of dancers dancing on the dance floor.
"Shenghe Majesty, I have encountered a problem in the country of Li Sheng, if we want to transport our rice and silk to Jin'an, we must pass through your country, and now your country is at war with Jin'an, and Yan zhòng affects our business, what should we do with the loss of our country?" The envoy was clearly prepared.
The war between the two countries was not holy and voluntary, and now that the envoy of Wuji Country said such things again, even Chen Jia felt congested. Chu Xiuyu's face was even more ugly.
The atmosphere of the entire hall was suddenly gloomy, and Chen Jia felt that there was low pressure on all sides.
"It's not that we want to fight, why are you looking for us, you have the ability to find Jin'an!" Chen Jia couldn't help but complain in a low voice. But she didn't dare to make a mistake in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty! Border Emergency! A soldier appeared in front of the temple
Chu Xiuyu motioned for Dexi to get the letter. Dexi hurried to get the letter. Chu Xiuyu opened the letter with a solemn face, and everyone stared at him, speculating whether it was joy or sorrow.
"Good! That's great! After reading it, Chu Xiuyu laughed. Heaven bless Shenghe, General Jiang and General Yang converged, pursued Jin'an, and broke through the border defense of Jin'an. ”
"I'm sorry, but the two envoys continue to enjoy the dinner here, and I have to consult with the courtiers on how to conduct the war. I won't accompany you. Chu Xiuyu left the banquet with a happy face, Jiang Qian and the ministers said goodbye one after another when they saw this, and only King Xian continued to talk to King Wuji. There was no one around.
On the second day after the state banquet, the envoys of the two countries took their leave, and they expressed their desire to maintain friendly bilateral relations with Shenghe.
When Jiang Qian came back, he told Chen Jia that Jiang Wenhan was even more valued by the emperor than him, and the emperor often summoned him in the imperial study and chatted until late at night. It was Jiang Wenhan who proposed it, Chen Jia frowned secretly when he heard this, but he was helpless. Politics is a woman's weakness. Even Chen Jia, who crossed over.
……
Five years, for a frog, five years is the whole of life, in human beings, five years is only a small part of life, but in the long river of history, five years is just a moment.
Despite the fact that a lot has happened in five years. But the most important thing is the war between Jin'an and Shenghe. Jiang Wenhan and Chu Xiuyu plotted this war finally ended in victory, the new emperor of Jin'an in the same Shenghe fight for three years of internal and external troubles, just last month, the former second prince finally got the support of the courtiers, in the will of the emperor to replace the new emperor, as soon as the second prince ascended the throne, he sent a peace envoy to negotiate with Shenghe, and the two countries signed an armistice agreement. The state of Jin Anguo ceded a city to Shenghe as a condition for an armistice. This is not a small city on the side, but a main city equivalent to any big city in prosperity, glory, prosperity and prosperity. Jin'an originally had six main cities. After giving up one main city, there are only five main cities, and after Shenghe adds a main city, it is the same as the land area of Jin'an.
"Grandpa, are you feeling better? Big brother is coming back in a few days! "Jiang Qian has often coughed up since the beginning of winter, and recently he has often coughed up blood. Chen Jia was very worried, and Imperial Doctor Xu said that he was overthinking, and he was worried about becoming ill, and he had no power to return to heaven, so everyone was prepared for the worst.
Jiang Qian has been ill for a long time and has not been to the court, Chen Jia's daily news channel has also changed from Jiang Qian to Cheng Zhen, it is really hard to imagine, Cheng Zhen really did very well in the exam, won the list of the year, the emperor gave him a six-grade official position in the household department, he is a mountain baby, but he is persistent and hard-working, thinking what ordinary people can't think, boldly making suggestions, and winning the emperor's appreciation, the official to the third grade. Chen Jia often wonders, can such a talent be produced under the education of the Qin family, is it true that the match god has really appeared?
"Sorry! Grandpa is afraid that he can't wait for Chun'er! "Jiang Qian seems to be a little stricter, and when Chen Jia saw this, he hurriedly asked Haitang to take the post and ask Imperial Doctor Xu." Sorry for fate, I know my fate, and I can't get through this hurdle. ”
"Grandpa, no, you must wait for the eldest brother to come back, he has already set off ten days ago, if he comes back on horseback, he may be almost home!" Chen Jia held Jiang Qian's hand and burst into tears.
"It's a pity, grandpa's happiest thing is to meet you, but unfortunately, grandpa shouldn't have accepted you as a granddaughter." Jiang Qian said slowly, he would cough as soon as he said it. Chen Jia hurriedly went to get a glass of water and moistened his throat, Jiang Qian took a small sip, and continued: "I don't know if you understand the meaning of the picture on the wordless fan?" ”
"Grandpa, is the wordless fan just trying to understand the meaning of the painting?" Seeing Jiang Qian nodded, Chen Jia said: "It's the meaning of the snipe and the clam fighting, and the fisherman profiting." ”
"I see, that day, when I saw the Sun family send you a wordless fan, I guessed that you were destined. The child of the Sun family is also the heir of the Jiang family, he will not sue me that I have a fate that has been found by him, and the phoenix tail qin is also in your hands, right? Jiang Qian seemed to be in a better state as he spoke, and even straightened up slightly, his eyes also radiated, and Chen Jia hurriedly put a pillow behind him.
"Yes, grandpa, the phoenix tail is in my hand!" Chen Jia didn't want to hide it anymore, she believed that Jiang Qian's relationship with her ancestors and grandchildren for more than five years was true, and she even regretted not suing him earlier.
"Actually, we don't know the puzzle. Every descendant of the Jiang family will tell the next generation of Jiang family heirs the secrets of the destined person before he dies, although I don't understand the meaning of those symbols, but they are imprinted in my mind. I'm afraid that if I don't say it again, no one in Rongcheng will know about this. Jiang Qian said and grabbed Chen Jia's hand and wrote and drew in her palm, Chen Jia was horrified, did he want to pass it on to her? Seeing Jiang Qian looking at him firmly, Chen Jia could only silently write down these passwords. Jiang Qian saw Chen Jia nodding, so he stopped writing. Chen Jia found out that he was writing Arabic numerals, but they didn't know the meaning of the numbers. After Chen Jia wrote down these numbers. Imprint them in the back of your mind.
"Sue Sù Chun'er, grandpa is in heaven, bless him. If I could, Grandpa would have liked... At the beginning, no, those selfish intentions, will take you as a ......" Jiang Qian stalked his neck and didn't catch it in one breath, and drove the crane west.
"Grandpa! Grandfather! Chen Jia was grief-stricken, Mrs. Jiang and Imperial Physician Xu had just arrived outside the house, and when they heard Chen Jia's bitter crying, they hurried into the house, Imperial Physician Xu rolled Jiang Qian's eyelids, shook his head, and said, "The Imperial Master has passed away!" ”
Mrs. Jiang and Chen Jia hugged and cried, Taishi Xian died, but his son was in Rongcheng, his grandson was still on the way back, but the other grandson was being honored and favored, and he had never even come to visit him in Taishi's Mansion for five years. A generation of Taishi ended up without a real heir to send him to the end. Imperial Physician Xu sighed, he shook his head, asked everyone to mourn, and turned to leave.
It was his granddaughter Chen Jia who gave him his last journey with filial piety in front of his bed. (To be continued......)
