The sea ships of the Daomen can't hide it from people at all.

It's a fact.

Although the bureaucratic class of Daqi is constantly fighting internally, it is always sensitive to the word profit. This time, Daomen took out so much grain, which naturally attracted the attention of the imperial court.

When the country is bigger, it needs more money and food. In the past 10 years, there have been three years of drought and three years of floods, as well as three years of locust plagues, and the terrible climatic conditions have directly led to the hardships of the people's lives. There are very few good years, which also leads to a shortage of food throughout the country. From the powerful to the common people, they all like to store a little food.

Not every family is like the Jia family when Mrs. Wang was in charge of the family in the past, firmly staring at the word silver but not paying much attention to food.

For the imperial court, if the people reserve more food, it will not be easy to escape from the famine, and the possibility of rebellion will be much smaller in the future. But in the same way, the emperor did not like any family, institution, or organization outside the court to store a large amount of grain. Just like this time, there were years of severe drought and locust plagues, and the emperor was worried about the next situation, not only worried about the income of the imperial court this year, but also worried that the people would rebel because of hunger.

Now, Daomen has taken out most of the grain, and the people will not rebel, but the court has begun to suspect that Daomen needs so much money and food for what.

This kind of talk will not be superficial, but the impact in private is not small.

The most intuitive manifestation is that as time goes by, Jia Jiu has more and more visitors, and even Lin Daiyu has a lot of visitors, not to mention people who come to give gifts in various names.

Peacetime. Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu both stayed on Yuqing Mountain, and ordinary people couldn't see them even if they wanted to, but now they have a chance. How could they not work hard to have a good relationship with Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu?

No, just when I arrived at the autumn hunting ground, someone found Jia Jiu in the name of relatives.

Jia Jiu was very surprised: "Relatives? ”

This time for the autumn hunt, no one came, whether it was the Jia family, the Zhang family, or the merchants. The Zhang family is because of filial piety, and the official positions of the masters in the family have resigned; The merchant called Shang Qingyi back to the south because Shang Qingyi's teacher had something; As for the Jia family. Jia Rong and his wife in Ningguo Mansion are not identified, but Jia Yu directly said that they are old. I couldn't bear it, so I pushed it.

As for the Lin family, there are only a few people. Moreover, the Lin family is also familiar with Jia Jiu. Never pay attention to that. Right now. This person came in the name of a relative, of course Jia Jiu was strange.

Jia Jiu didn't think that he would have many relatives, and he was also qualified to participate in the autumn hunt.

On the contrary, it was a person who came, very enthusiastic, and as soon as they met, they said: "The county lord of Jia may not recognize me." My surname is Qin, and I am the maiden family of the grandmother in charge of Ning Guofu......"

Jia Jiu was very surprised and said, "I remember." Rong's daughter-in-law was originally the adopted daughter of the Qin family. And Lord Qin Ye, who is Yingqilang, does have only one son. It's a pity that it was gone in the early years. As for Lord Qin's family, there are many things that are not visible. There are fewer eunuchs, which room of the Qin family are you? ”

Seeing this, the woman hurriedly said, "County Lord Jia really has a good memory. After all, the Jia family has been divided for some years, and at that time, the county lord of Jia was also young, I thought that the county lord of Jia didn't know, but I didn't want the county lord of Jia to know so well. That's right, our lord and Lord Qin Ye are of the same clan, but for many years, our lord has been in the field and has only recently returned to Beijing. It was also the grace of long live that made our aunt and grandmother mothers, so that we were able to participate in this autumn hunt. It's just that our family has a shallow foundation and has been away for many years, and we don't know the situation in Beijing, but we didn't come to visit until recently. ”

When Jia Jiu heard this, he was even more confused.

For people who are relatives of Ning Guofu, it stands to reason that the in-laws of Ning Guofu after the division of the clan naturally cannot be regarded as relatives of the Marquis of Rongguo, one of them. Second, the other party's words were vague, so that Jia Jiu didn't know the other party's purpose at all.

Jia Jiu had no choice but to say: "If the two families are related, and the government has replaced the post, for the sake of being an official in the same dynasty, my father will naturally reply to Lord Qin." I've been out of the world for years, and you're here all of a sudden, and I'm a little scrambling. ”

"County Lord Jia is really polite." The woman didn't seem to feel her faux pastime, but still smiled and said, "Who made us coincidental?" Since they are all on this autumn hunting ground, they should naturally visit and recognize their relatives. Our mother also remembers the county lord of Jia very much. ”

Obviously, Jia Jiu had almost directly told the other party that they did not have relatives surnamed Qin in the Rongguo Marquis Mansion, and the real relatives with the surname Qin were Ning Guofu instead of their Rongguo Marquis Mansion, but the other party was as if they didn't understand it at all, so they cared about the relationship, which made Jia Jiu quite speechless.

After Jia Jiu was silent for a moment, he finally decided not to talk nonsense with the other party anymore: "Excuse me, do you have anything else to do when you come to me this time besides recognizing relatives?" ”

The woman giggled: "Actually, it's our mother, who wants to meet the county lord Jia." ”

Jia Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "The lady of your mansion wants to see me?" Then it should be for the chamberlain? Why do you have to let you go on this trip? ”

The chamberlain who was waiting in the tent saw that the situation was not right, and the one near the door had already slipped out of the tent and ran to Princess Changle's side.

The woman hadn't noticed anything wrong, but said with a smile: "The county lord of Jia is the pearl of the Marquis of Rongguo, but for so many years, he has been in the boudoir." I have a brother ......."

Before the woman finished speaking, she saw Jia Jiu's hand raised, and she threw it over with a slap. Jia Jiu is a person who practices martial arts, and this move immediately dislocated the woman's chin.

Jia Jiu took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands slowly, and said, "It seems that I am really good at talking." Now even a dog dares to bark at me. Come, send off. ”

The woman only felt that half of her face was numb, and now that her chin was dislocated, where could she still speak? He was pulled out a long time ago.

Not long after the woman left, Princess Changle and Lin Daiyu rushed in. Princess Changle's first words were: "Nine girls, are you okay?" ”

Looking at Princess Changle with a worried face, Jia Jiu smiled slightly: "Changle, although we are not far from the tent of Banzai, you shouldn't throw ...... it."

"Don't talk about that. You. You didn't suffer, did you? ”

Jia Jiu sneered: "That woman mentioned my marriage, and when she mentioned his brother, I slapped him hard. ”

Princess Changle said: "He actually ...... This Concubine Jin. What a ......."

"It may not be Concubine Jin, maybe someone did it on purpose. Or rather, it's just a decoy in a trap. ”

"Bait? What is this disgusting bait for? ”

"But aren't you angry right now?" Jia Jiu said calmly, "We just have to wait now." ”

"Wait?"

"Wait for the people behind him to make a move."

Princess Changle sighed, and regardless of the maid who had just arrived at the palace, she sat directly on it, and after a while. Fang Cai said: "You mean, the person behind this may not be Concubine Jin?" Who would that be? ”

"It's not necessarily the people behind the scenes who make the big moves, but. The one who wants to get the benefits, or wants to take most of the benefits, is definitely one of the people behind the scenes. ”

"One of them? Are you saying that there is more than one person who calculates you? ”

"One or many. And what does it matter? in this world. There are always chess pieces, and there are also people who want to play chess. As for whether this Concubine Jin is a chess piece or a chess player, aren't you curious? ”

Princess Changle looked at Jia Jiu in a daze and said, "You look much more alive than before." ”

Jia Jiu said: "Changle, have you forgotten that I like serial schemes the most, and I also like to use yang schemes." I'd love to see what kind of fish are down there. ”

"Have you ever thought about it? This woman might make a difference with your reputation? ”

Jia Jiu smiled slightly and said, "You mean." Will he deliberately spread the word that I am having an affair with someone? ”

"That's right."

Jia Jiu thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, I will bother you to check the details of that woman." If it's not someone who needs it, then I don't mind killing it on the spot. ”

The coldness and bloodshed in Jia Jiu's words startled everyone in the tent, but Princess Changle was no exception. The Jia Jiu that the people present had seen had always been a gentle person, and only Princess Changle had really seen Jia Jiu covered in blood. At the beginning, he was fascinated by Jia Jiu's bravery, so he came out of that nightmare and regarded Jia Jiu as his only savior.

Princess Changle also wanted to know that when those people knew that Jia Jiu didn't mind being a widow, who else would have the courage to dare to calculate Jia Jiu's head.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for news to come out faintly, saying that Jia Jiu was interested in Qin Sanlang, and that the two had known each other for a long time, and Jia Jiu had not married for this Qin San for many years. That's right.

Princess Changle and Lin Daiyu were very angry.

Jia Jiu played with the sandalwood fan in his hand and did not speak.

He didn't think it would be that simple.

Sure enough, two days later, the queen summoned Jia Jiu over.

There were a lot of people in the queen's tent, not only most of the ladies in the autumn hunting ground were in front of the queen, but even the emperor and the emperor were there, and when he saw Jia Jiu, the emperor even teased: "Nine girls, I heard that your good things are near?" ”

Jia Jiu said calmly: "The courtiers don't know what Your Majesty is talking about. ”

Concubine Qin smiled: "This time I want to congratulate." ”

"Where does the joy come from?"

The Emperor and the Emperor immediately realized that something was wrong.

To be honest, they haven't given up on Jia Jiu for many years. It's just that they all know that Jia Jiu is an arrogant person, plus one is old and frail, the other is embarrassed to rob his daughter of people, and they know that Jia Jiu is impatient with court life, and they are afraid that they will not be able to control this woman, so they give up.

But even so, they never gave up their intention to bring this woman into their sphere of influence.

Speaking of this, the emperor felt all kinds of heart congestion. Before, Jia Jiu was friendly with Princess Changle, it can be said that he was already within his sphere of influence, but unfortunately, he fell for the calculation of the emperor, of course, at that time, he also wanted to control the northern Xinjiang in his hands, so he forced his daughter to ask Jia Jiu for Zhuangzi, so that his daughter had a dislike with Jia Jiu and Jia Jiu also made Jia Jiu biased towards the Daomen.

The Emperor has always known.

But he also knew that if he had to do it all over again, he would still do it. Because he is the emperor.

If there is anyone who is most dissatisfied with Jia Jiu's marriage, there is no doubt that it is the emperor.

The emperor said: "County Lord Jia, in recent days, there have been many rumors below that you already have a crush. I wonder what your explanation for this is? ”

"Someone you like?" Jia Jiu replied: "Your Majesty, please forgive the courtiers for speaking out. Courtiers have grown up in front of their grandmothers since they were young, and they have seen a lot of warmth and coldness, so for courtiers, there is no doubt that a man who can make a courtier's daughter really catch his eyes must be able to bring enough security to his courtier. The most important point is that you must be able to fight and be able to fight. In other words, a man with a low force value is not looked down upon by courtiers. ”

Emperor Taishang suddenly said: "So, what about Changle?" ”

"It's just two lonely weak women snuggling up to each other in the dark."

The emperor said: "Changle is in your heart, is that all?" ”

Jia Jiu replied: "Get along day and night, support each other, this friendship is extremely precious for courtiers. It's a pity that Changle is Changle, and the courtiers are the courtiers. Changle has his own obligations that must be completed, and the courtiers also have their own way to go. ”

Jia Jiu's subtext, the emperor heard it, that is, he didn't take those Zhuangzi things to heart. The emperor's mood was immediately relieved.

As long as Jia Jiu did not forget his daughter, the emperor felt that he had more advantages than the emperor in the matter of winning over Jia Jiu.

The emperor said, "It seems that it's just a rumor?" It's really hateful that such words came out at a celebration to celebrate the health of my father! ”

Emperor Taishang said: "Originally, I thought I had the opportunity to marry the county lord of Jia. It seems that there is still an empty joy. ”

The Emperor Taishang also knew very well that if he gave marriage indiscriminately, it would not only offend Jia Jiu, but also offend Daomen. And Daomen is definitely not something he can deal with now. So the Emperor Taishang decisively changed the topic.

Emperor Taishang said: "I'm really curious, I don't know what kind of person County Lord Jia likes." ”

Jia Jiu replied, "Let Your Majesty make fun of me." ”

"Eh, what's the point if you just talk about it?"

Jia Jiu thought for a while and said, "You must be a civil and military all-rounder." In terms of martial arts, he can't be weaker than the courtier, as for the text, he should be like the courtier's late fourth aunt, at least a jinshi. In addition, it is necessary to get involved in formation, smelting, astronomy, and geography. ”

When the Emperor Taishang heard this, he immediately smiled: "Nine girls, it's not easy to meet your requirements." Even if it is to meet this first rule, there are not many people in the world? ”

Having said that, the Emperor Taishang remembered Shang Qingyi for the first time. Shang Qingyi is the best among the younger generation of Emperor Taishang's grandfather's family, and I heard that his martial arts are also very high, not to mention his literary talents. The Emperor even felt that if he could control Shang Qingyi, it would be a good family, and the only problem was that Shang Qingyi's sister was already married to Jia Lian. The issue of changing relatives is not easy to accept in high society.

And the first person the emperor thought of was Yan Wei. (To be continued.) )
