Fengzao Palace, side hall.

Inside the West Warm Pavilion.

When Jia Qiang came in with Mu Di, Empress Yin was talking to Yuan Chun.

Seeing him come in, there was no trace of flaw, and a touch of anger appeared on his beautiful appearance, and a pair of bright and mature beautiful eyes also contained a smile, and he said: "It's all this bastard, and today it makes this palace so ugly!" Jia Qiang, what should you be guilty of? ”

Jia Qiang saw the salute and said: "Niangniang, what is the crime of the minister? ”

Yin Hou gritted his teeth and said, "Do you dare to be hard-mouthed? Are you going to use your three-inch incorruptible tongue to say that set of fallacies and heresies, and to subdue this palace? ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "What the minister said is all serious, the silver of this internal affairs house is probably more than the treasury of the household department in the future, and there is no fair person like Niangniang to check it, and the minister is afraid that everyone will want to come and take a bite when the time comes." This money village of the Internal Affairs Office was done by the ministers with great efforts in order to repay the emperor and the mother for their preferential treatment and longen. If it weren't for that, the minister himself also had a business name under his name, wouldn't it be good to earn the money himself? Now they have sold so many shares to the Jiang family, and the Jiang family has made a profit for nothing......"

When Empress Yin heard this, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she reminded: "Jia Qiang, don't just count the gains and losses in gold, silver, and money. You yourself said that the emperor and the palace have always favored you. Tianjia Youlong pampers you, it's not for you to make money, isn't it? ”

Jia Qiang nodded, the reason why Emperor Long An treated him well at the beginning was because he loved Lin Ruhai and Wuba.

However, later, he made many meritorious contributions, showed no desire for power, and became close friends with Li Xuan, the fifth prince of the same temperament, coupled with Empress Yin's favor, Xu Yi's mother's niece and nephew, all kinds of factors overlapped, which made him a royal celebrity in front of the government and the opposition.

When Empress Yin saw that he responded, he smiled warmly: "You can be the commander of this envoy when something happens to the embroidered guard, it can be seen that you are responsible." Running the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office shows that you are a good boy with filial piety. The emperor and the palace are very happy that you can do this.

Although it is said outside that you and Xiao Wu are ridiculous scoundrels and prodigals, in the hearts of the emperor and the palace, you are both good children who have filial piety and can do things.

The matter of the money village of the Internal Affairs Office can be regarded as the biggest surprise gift that the two of you have come up with and give to the emperor and the palace this year!

The emperor didn't expect that you would be able to solve many problems that were a headache for the Military Aircraft Department.

The clan is one and the lord is the second? Especially the latter!

If you spend some silver, you can solve these old and difficult problems that are a headache for the emperor and the military aircraft department? For the emperor and the court, it is worth it. Maybe you're feeling a little unhappy? But you must also be considerate of the difficulties of the emperor and your husband. Although the Jiang family wants more? But they also paid the most, a full six or seven hundred thousand acres of grange? That's really ......

But? His family does have a large population, and there are many idlers to support? It's understandable to ask for more.

How much? Better than nothing? You tell me?

So you can't be willful? Don't even be childish and ruin the deal? Do you understand? ”

Looking at the more solemn the more Yin Hou said the more he said? Jia Qiang suddenly? It turned out that Emperor Long An and Empress Yin were worried that he would ruin this "deal" by arbitrariness? It's hard to force him? It would be worse if he picked on it.

So? Let Yin later make it soft......

Jia Qiang tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "Niangniang, the minister is not really a half-old child, how dare you mess around with this kind of thing...... Ministers are not fools! ”

Hearing his dissatisfaction, Empress Yin covered her mouth with a phoenix, and said to Yuan Chun, who was smiling with embarrassment: "Look, this is not happy." If it weren't for the fact that he and Wu'er had always been used to messing around, they still used this palace to coax him with soft words here? ”

Yuan Chun pursed his lips and smiled lightly, and persuaded softly: "Qiang'er, when it comes to the Youlong of the Holy Family, the country is up and down, even if you count the children of the clan, few of them can step past you." The emperor's grace is here, if you don't do your best to serve the emperor and his mother, how can you say the past? ”

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "The minister knows, and he is doing this." ”

Empress Yin's eyes softened, looked at him and said, "You have been sitting like this all the time, this palace can see it." When you first went down to Jiangnan, the person you thought about in your heart was just to be a bookstore owner. But even so, you still think about printing more books with the money you earn and distributing them to children in the village who can't afford to buy books and can't read. Now he inherits the lord, so noble, and earns the wealth of the sky, but he throws it into the luck to do things that benefit the country and the people. Although you have no heart for power, and you have never pursued high-ranking officials and power, you are not only yourself in your heart, but also the suffering of the country and the world. This point is seen by the emperor and the palace, so they are always tolerant of each other in some subsections.

Jia Qiang, you have to keep this kind of heart. A man should not be a beetle who is bent on chasing fame and wealth, but he should still have a broad mind that encompasses the world. You did a good job of this, and Hongu liked it very much. ”

Jia Qiang's face turned a little red, and she said, "Niangniang...... How can the minister be as good as the mother boasts. It's just a matter of doing what you feel you should do with your conscience. Everyone in the world can do it, but it's not that good ......"

"Ouch! It's so rare to see you blush! ”

Empress Yin looked at Jia Qiang and quipped.

However, seeing that Jia Qiang was becoming more and more embarrassed, she stopped laughing again, and said softly: "Whether you are good or not, you have your own palace, and what the emperor says." The emperor and the palace can be regarded as reading countless people, but a young man like you is the first time to see him. Okay, the matter of this palace is over, and your eldest aunt still has something to say to you. ”

Jia Qiang looked at Yuan Chun when he heard this, Yuan Chun talked about appearance, in the harem of countless beauties, he could only be regarded as Zhongping, a human being...... It is also relatively square and loyal, and the three views are very much in line with the mainstream of this era......

Yuan Chun looked at this child of the clan who was even more holy than her, the imperial concubine, and smiled: "Is the old lady okay?" ”

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "It's so good now, I invited the host for two days in a row." Yesterday, I went to Dongfu for a walk, and I was in good spirits. ”

Yuan Chun was suspicious when he heard this, but looking at Jia Qiang's expression, it didn't seem to be lying, and he couldn't help but admire Jia's mother's heart, hesitated, and asked, "Then, how are the rest of the family?" ”

Jia Qiang laughed and said: "It's great, the eldest lord and the eldest wife are cultivating themselves in the Zhuangzi outside the city, and I am afraid that they can live a long life." The second master reads and writes every day, chats and composes poems with one or two Qing guests, and is at ease. The second wife was worshipping the Buddha and was also quiet. The eldest aunt only thinks about Lan Ge'er in everything, and now that Lan Ge'er has made considerable progress in clan studies, she has put her mind at ease, and has some spare time to help the old lady take care of the housework. The second aunt, the third aunt, the fourth aunt, and many others have gone to Jiangnan......"

Hearing this, before Yuan Chun could speak, Empress Yin smiled and said, "You are really playing the piano indiscriminately!" How can the daughter's family in the world easily get out of the boudoir embroidery building? You're good enough to send a boatload out at once. ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Niangniang, the minister doesn't dare to expect the daughters of the minister's family to have such a mind and benevolence, but I still hope that they can reach one hundred and one." Therefore, not only let them participate in some affairs in the Xixie Street Hall, but also let them try to be housekeepers, and let them go to Jiangnan together this time, which is also an eye-opener. The minister believes that the prosperity of a family is also related to the prosperity of a country. As the saying goes, wives and husbands have few troubles. The emperor can have such a name as Niangniang as the mother of a country, and the country will naturally prosper. Hope ......"

"Okay, okay, okay......"

Empress Yin's pretty face was full of blush, she waved her hand and smiled: "Don't say it again, it's amazing, just a few words are passed out, and the little bit of good name in this palace will also be defeated by you." There is only one crime, to get close to the lucky thief! ”

Yuan Chundu couldn't help laughing, and said angrily: "Qiang'er, you praise people, it's really ......."

Jia Qiang inexplicably looked left and right, and asked, "Minister...... Praise people? ”

Empress Yin couldn't help laughing, waved the phoenix handkerchief, and said, "Let's go, you go quickly, it's getting late, and I'll leave you in the palace for the night...... But do you still want to sweep your majesty's court for another night? ”

Jia Qiang laughed dryly and said, "It's still next time, when Kehe and the king of the county make another mistake, the minister will help him again." ”

Empress Yin laughed, pointed at Jia Qiang and said, "You, you're not honest!" ”

Jia Qiang took the guilt and retired, but as soon as she stepped out of the threshold with one leg, she heard Empress Yin's voice behind her: "If you are free, you still have to go to Zhu Chao Street to have a look." After the New Year, Najib is not allowed to see him. ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "The minister knows, and in two days, I will invite the old lady and them to wash the warm soup in Taoyuan Zhuangzi." ”

"You can fiddle with it, go! It's not in vain that the old lady loves you! ”

……

Night.

Stone Tablet Hutong, Zhao Guogong Mansion.

After Jiang Duo returned from the center of the palace satisfied, he fell into a deep sleep.

When people get old to this point, the energy of the day, the steps that can be supported, and the words they say are all counted, and there are fewer and fewer supports to support......

When I slept until it was dark and I felt hungry, I opened my eyes, and when I opened my eyes, I saw my eldest daughter-in-law Zou sitting next to the bed, adding silver frost and charcoal to the smoker cage.

Jiang Duo ironed a lot in his heart, pursed his mouth, and said with a smile: "The old man asked the Jia family boy for a set of Raush bone things that he figured out, what kind of heating is it." There is hot water in the iron pipe, and the house is hot all day and night, and there is no fear of poisoning people with smoke. Although the monkey is not a good thing, the ability of these strange and ingenious skills is commendable. ”

When Zou saw Jiang Duo wake up, he said "ouch" and said, "You can be regarded as waking up, it's noisy outside." The second uncle and Lin Er are about to let people fight! ”

Jiang Duo's face sank when he heard this, and he asked, "Why do you want to beat the second child and Jiang Lin?" ”

Zou said anxiously: "It was said that the two of them didn't stop the grandfather from selling the land, the grandfather was confused, they shouldn't be confused." Even if you kneel on the ground and break your head, you should stop your grandfather. Even if you let your grandfather hit him twice and sip twice, he won't be able to die......"

The youngest son of the Zou family couldn't raise his head when he was bullied, so he naturally had resentment in his heart, and he took eye medicine at this time.

Jiang Duo, who is old and refined, naturally understands, but this little eye medicine is nothing, and he also wants to give this eldest daughter-in-law who has always been filial to him some dignity, so he said angrily: "What a group of obscene people who are playing balls, Lao Tzu sees that they are going to die one by one!" Daughter-in-law, bring Lao Tzu's shuttle gun. Lao Tzu's slap doesn't hurt, can't Lao Tzu's gun stab those wild cattle to death? ”

Zou was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Old man, in the end, it is a family, you can scold it, but don't really see blood!" ”

Jiang Duo waved his hand and said, "You don't have to care, just take my shuttle gun." ”

Zou was frightened and regretted that he had just said too much, so he went to the wall to get the shuttle gun and persuaded him: "Old man, don't be angry, if you really see the blood of your own family, it's not auspicious, isn't it?" In a few days, the Chinese New Year will be. ”

Jiang Duo didn't say a word, and took the three-foot-long shuttle gun, which happened to be used as a crutch with his current size.

With a shuttle gun, Jiang Duo came to Jingyi Hall.

Sure enough, I saw the eldest son Jiang Bao, the second son Jiang Ping, the fourth son Jiang Ning, and more than 20 clansmen from the other rooms of the Jiang family, all of whom were overwhelmed.

All of them were full of anger on their faces, and the noise was about to tear down the roof of Jingyi Hall.

It wasn't until Jiang Duo came in from behind with a shuttle gun and stabbed a middle-aged man who was about to jump up in the buttocks with a gun, and after the man let out a scream of killing pigs, everyone in the Jiang family saw Jiang Duo coming, holding a shuttle gun that was still dripping blood, so they were startled and closed their mouths, lowered their heads and stepped forward to say goodbye.

Seeing this, Jiang Duo didn't pay attention to it, and only called humane: "Come on, throw this person out of nowhere." his godmother, Lao Tzu didn't recognize the person, and also ran to Lao Tzu's house and jumped up and down, when Lao Tzu couldn't kill anyone? ”

The screaming man was frightened when he heard this, covered his stomach with his hands, and said loudly: "Old ancestor, I am Jiang Qiu, the second child of the fourth room!" ”

Jiang Duo sneered: "What Jiang Qiu Jiang hangs, Lao Tzu looks at you like a fur!" Throw it out, and the Jiang family will not recognize this person in the future, and there will be no such person again. ”

Jiang Qiu's face was colorless when he heard this, and he shouted: "Dad, help me explain to my ancestors, I am the second child in the fourth room!" ”

An old man with gray hair bowed down with a smile and said, "Third uncle, this is indeed ......"

"Which one are you holding onto? I don't know him, come and throw them out! ”

Jiang Duo didn't even look at it, and as soon as he gave an order, a family general came in to get someone.

Now, there is no sound in the Jingyi Hall.

stabbed one of them, and even directly abolished this room, it was too bloody and cruel, who would dare to speak......

Jiang Duo didn't have the heart to explain to the clansmen at all, and after being supported by his eldest daughter-in-law Zou to climb onto a special high-legged chair, like a rat king, he looked at a group of tall young children, grandchildren and nephews, snorted, and said: "The Jiang family starved to death before Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu's mother was starved to death, the eldest brother and sister-in-law were starved to death, the second brother and second sister-in-law were sick to death, and none of the other chaotic relatives were developed. Therefore, the Jiang family of Zhao Guogong Mansion is the foundation laid by Lao Tzu. I can do whatever I want, and I need to ask you for instructions? You're a hanger! Fourth! ”

Jiang Ning was covered in cold sweat and said, "Here!" ”

Jiang Duo squinted at him and said, "You're not satisfied either?" ”

Jiang Ning hurriedly said: "No, no, my son doesn't." I didn't take care of this family, and no matter how much it was my turn, I was dissatisfied. ”

Jiang Duo laughed strangely and said, "I still have some self-knowledge with this idea. It's right to think about it this way, the Jiang family belongs to Lao Tzu, and even if Lao Tzu donates it all, it is also Lao Tzu's business. Second, you go to register, which ones just shouted that the Jiang family is over, let them get out of the way! The Jiang family is finished, and there is no need to raise a bunch of obsessed nasty things! ”

Although Jiang Ping has always been a good man and is quite popular among the clansmen, he has just been scolded by a group of clansmen who have consciously lost their interests, and they don't know what to say about him, and they sneered at him one by one and took the opportunity to scold Jiang Lin, and even scolded him as a waste, so he was angry.

At this time, he was assigned by his father Jiang Duo, and he put on a straight face and blew out the most fierce ones he had scolded before.

Fortunately, in the end, he was soft-hearted, and he still left most of it.

Jiang Duo watched coldly, and after scolding "waste", he didn't pursue it to the end, and with a wave of his hand, the Jiang family fled one by one in embarrassment.

These people are all dependent on the Guogong Mansion to live, and if they lose the Grange, they may have a hard time living in the future, but if they are disgusted by Jiang Duo, then there is basically no easy way to live.

After the Jiang family left, Jiang Duo looked at the appearance of several children and grandchildren who wanted to speak and stopped, and only sneered, and said, "A group of ball-grabbers, when have you ever seen Lao Tzu make a living at a loss?" Back then, when I gave up my family business in Jinling, it was almost the same as today, and there were a group of people who forgot to make trouble, what was the result? There is no need to mention this matter, Lao Tzu has his own measure. ”

Jiang Bao pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Father, the Jiang family will not suffer, and the sons will never doubt it." The Jiang family can have today, and it is all up to his father. It's just that many people feel that this matter is inevitably cheaper for Jia Qiang and Lin Ruhai......"

Jiang Duo snorted when he heard this, but he didn't want to scold anymore, because his energy was limited, and he scolded too much, so he didn't have time to talk about serious things, he said bluntly: "The reason why the Jiang family has gone through the three emperors and has not declined is because the Jiang family rarely fights directly with people to the death. Lao Tzu prefers to hold the person to the top, hold him to the sharpest point, and then watch him fall to death! Are you holding the ball or not, and you can't learn it at all? Can't Lao Tzu be forgotten? ”

Jiang Bao: "......"

Jiang Ping: "......"

Jiang Ning: "......"

The eldest daughter-in-law, Zou, persuaded: "Husband, this is ...... Would you like to open some? ”

When Jiang Duo heard this, he smiled and said, "It's not necessary, this group of obscene seeds, all of them have the same face as a horse's face, but they are very similar to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can't forget the eight ......."

After a pause, he said to Jiang Lin: "Remember to go to Jia's house and ask Lao Tzu to set Nalaoshzi heating back." ”

After that, Zou got off the high chair with the help of the Zou family, and hummed: "Worrying about this group of fools every day, Lao Tzu has to live at least ten years less!" I don't know if I can live for another ten years...... Daughter-in-law, go, give the ancestor I beat the back, knead and knead. ”

Zou laughed angrily: "I was a serious filial piety, but you always said that, and I didn't let me be talked about outside." ”

Jiang Duo laughed and said: "Lao Tzu has not given birth to a few good children and grandchildren in his life, but his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law are not bad, and it is a pity to match that group of balls......"

……
