Chapter 281: An Agreement is reached

It was nearly June, Lu Jing shifted his attention to the upcoming Han Zhan Kedao University Entrance Examination, and only paid attention to the affairs of the Jia family by chance, seeing that Jia Lian still secretly married Second Sister You, Wang Xifeng still asked Zhang Hua to go to the Inspectorate to complain, and couldn't help but feel that Jia Lian really wanted to make his mind faint and bold, although Wang Xifeng had the means, he didn't know the overall situation.

Emperor Yuanyong edicted the world that he should not marry within three months, Jia Lian secretly married was already disobeying the holy order, and Wang Xifeng was so fearless to blow up the matter and expose himself, the two of them simply despised the holy decree, did not take the emperor seriously, and took another step forward on the road to death.

I only paid a little attention to the You sisters, now that Third Sister You is still alive, Liu Xianglian has long been a belonging, and followed Wang Suxiu to Hangzhou, presumably she will not kill herself again, with her care, Second Sister You should also be able to get rid of the fate of swallowing gold and committing suicide.

On the first day of the first month of June, Lu Jing received a post from Wang Ziteng asking to meet, and sighed in his heart that Wang Ziteng could endure until now to propose to meet, and his determination was indeed extraordinary.

That night, Lu Jing and Wang Ziteng had a private meeting, and Wang Ziteng talked for a long time before staring at Lu Jing and asking: "I remember the last time I met with my nephew, my nephew said that there would be something big in the palace in March, and there would be an accident in the Jia family in April?" ”

Lu Jing nodded as usual and said, "Yes, I did say that!" ”

Wang Ziteng's expression was even more solemn and asked, "How did the virtuous nephew know that Concubine Zhen and Jia Zijing would die one after another?" ”

Lu Jing pondered for a moment and then shook his head and said, "The juniors have their own channels to learn the news, and this matter is very important, please forgive me for not being able to tell you." ”

When Wang Ziteng heard this, he instantly revealed a majestic and fierce look and stared at Lu Jing tightly.

Lu Jing didn't care at all about the pressure he released, and looked at him without fear.

After a long time, Wang Ziteng saw that Lu Jing still looked as usual, unmoved, so he had to withdraw his gaze and said tentatively: "According to your intentions, these two people died of murder?" ”

Lu Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "My lord thinks too much, the death of the two of them has nothing to do with others, Concubine Zhen is time has come, and the one in Ning Guofu committed suicide, as for the reason for suicide, the younger generation does not know." ”

Wang Ziteng nodded when he heard this, he couldn't know the cause of Concubine Zhen's death, but he had already judged Jia Jing's suicide, but he was still very suspicious and curious, how Lu Jing expected that the two would die early, and the time of death was very different.

If it was a coincidence, he would not believe it anyway, but to say that the death of these two people was related to Lu Jing, he was also incredulous, thinking of this, Wang Ziteng's gaze at Lu Jing became complicated, and he felt that Lu Jing was even more difficult to deal with than he expected, and at this moment he actually had a feeling that he couldn't see through.

Lu Jing saw that Wang Ziteng looked hesitant, and nodded secretly in his heart, maintaining this sense of mystery can at least make Wang Ziteng jealous of himself, and balance the cooperative relationship between the two sides a little, so as not to be suppressed by him all the time.

After pondering for a long time, Wang Ziteng asked tentatively, "What else does the virtuous nephew know?" ”

Lu Jing nodded slightly and said, "I still know that the adult is already in the game, and he has been ambushed by someone around him!" ”

Wang Ziteng's face changed when he heard this, and his heart was suddenly shocked, unable to judge whether what he said was true or false, and when he saw Lu Jing talking about the key point, he kept silent, knowing that he should be talking about the conditions, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "What does the virtuous nephew want the old man to do?" ”

Lu Jing nodded and said: "I don't ask for much, I just ask Lord Wang not to give any big gifts to the juniors, and don't interfere in Miss Baochai's marriage anymore." ”

Wang Ziteng suddenly realized when he heard this, although Lu Jing's last sentence seemed random, but he had already grasped the key to the matter, so he laughed and said: "It turned out to be my niece, since the virtuous nephew likes it, the old man will naturally be an adult, do you want the old man to protect the good nephew?" ”

Lu Jing sighed secretly in his heart, and shook his head with the same expression: "Thank you for your kindness, but you don't have to worry about this matter!" ”

Wang Ziteng further probed: "The old man has long felt that the virtuous nephew and my niece are a match made in heaven, if the virtuous nephew can marry my niece, it is also a talented son and a beautiful woman, which complements each other." ”

Lu Jing laughed a few times, and also followed Wang Ziteng to praise Xue Baochai.

Seeing Lu Jing's attitude, Wang Ziteng couldn't judge how much he had affection for Baochai for a while, and after laughing a few words, he asked, "Which chess piece did the emperor lay next to the old man?" ”

Lu Jing saw that he had taken back the initiative, so he smiled and said: "Some time ago, Jia Yu Village was the secretary of the military department, are you still secretly happy?" ”

Wang Ziteng's face changed when he heard this, and he asked in a cold voice: "You mean that Jia Yucun is the emperor's person?" ”

Lu Jing shook his head and said: "He is not the emperor's person yet, but the emperor has a lot of tricks in his hands, and he can be included in his pocket at any time. ”

After hearing this, Wang Ziteng's expression instantly became gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "The old man also has a lot of tricks in his hands, if he dares to betray the old man, the old man will naturally let his family be ruined." ”

Lu Jing sneered: "Now that the adult is in power, he naturally doesn't dare to make any moves, but once the adult declines, with Jia Yucun's knowledge of current affairs, knowing how to advance and retreat, and being good at his own style, he naturally knows how to choose, not to mention that his handles, when the time comes, how can it not be the evidence of the adult's crime, he is at most an accomplice, and if he exposes the adult, he can still wear the crime and make meritorious service, and maybe he will be added to the official rank!" ”

"My lord has been in the officialdom for a long time, and there must be no need to say too much about this, my lord, just look at the Zhen family today, the body of Concubine Zhen is not cold, most of the courtiers in the court are planning to impeach the Zhen family and divide the interests of Jiangnan, if it weren't for the emperor taking care of the overall situation and controlling the situation, the Zhen family would have collapsed long ago, and sometimes the first to betray is often the people around him."

Wang Ziteng regained his composure when he heard this, nodded and sighed: "You are right, although the Zhen family still controls most of the forces in Jiangnan, but the DPRK and China have lost power, and now the hearts of the people in Jiangnan are floating, although we stand up to support the Zhen family, we can't stop the wall from falling down and everyone pushing." ”

After finishing his words, he said coldly: "Although Yucun is said to be connected with the Jia family, after all, he is not a descendant of the Jia family, and he may not be afraid of the Jia family at that time. ”

Lu Jing said in a deep voice: "It would be best if the adults could retreat, but with the current situation, I am afraid that the adults want to retreat but can't, and there is no way to retreat behind them." ”

Wang Ziteng understood the meaning of Lu Jing's words when he heard this, and on the surface, he had no way to retreat, but secretly he had this retreat to preserve the family inheritance, and instantly increased his attention to Lu Jing again, and asked, "Do you want the old man to help you seek reinstatement?" ”

Lu Jing saw that Wang Ziteng asked this, and knew that he could only face himself at this moment, so he refused: "Thank you for your concern, the younger generation has its own arrangements for this matter, so I won't bother with it." ”

Wang Ziteng nodded, and suddenly asked, "In your opinion, how should the old man deal with Jia Yucun?" ”

Lu Jing shook his head and said: "With the means of adults, this matter will be properly handled, and the younger generation will not have to deal with it much." ”

Yan Bi asked again: "But a few days ago, Brother Jia Lian went to Ping'an Prefecture, the king of Nan'an County sent people to Fujian, and the adults also sent people to the northwest. ”

Because of the matter of Concubine Zhen and Jia Jing in front of him, Wang Ziteng was not surprised that Lu Jing knew about it, and explained: "It's just that everyone feels the crisis and wants to deter those who are about to move." ”

Lu Jing nodded when he heard this, although they acted carefully, they couldn't hide the eyes of people with hearts, thinking that they were just to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, but with the emperor's character, they would definitely fight back.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jing felt that he should remind the prince to Teng for both reason and reason, so he said: "Your Excellency is now playing with the emperor, and you should also restrain your family. ”

Wang Ziteng shook his head and said: "These are trivial things, it doesn't matter if we stop it or not, the emperor will neither punish us for these things, nor let us go because we are law-abiding." ”

Lu Jing frowned slightly when he heard this, revealing a puzzled expression.

Wang Ziteng explained his confusion and said: "After all, the Lu family belongs to the scholarly inheritance, and it is not surprising that you don't understand the survival of the martial arts family, we do these things mostly intentionally, just to disgrace our reputation, Xun Guiduo is involved in the army, and the emperor has always been wary of us, if you don't take the initiative to send some handles, how can the emperor rest assured." ”

Lu Jing was even more puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Since the adults want to reassure the emperor, why are they united against the imperial power now?" ”

Wang Ziteng sneered: "This matter is a long story, several princes in Yankang took the heir, and we also had their own supporters at that time, Lao Fu, Ning Rong and Nan'an Wangye all supported the crown prince, King Beijing, Fuguo Mansion, Zhen Yingjia and others supported the eighth prince, and several other princes and Hou mansions supported the eldest prince and the six princes. ”

After hearing this, Lu Jing was about to ask why they wanted to get involved in the matter of seizing the heir, when he saw the prince wave his hand to stop him.

Wang Ziteng's expression was even more cold and said: "The old man knows what you want to ask, this matter is not something we can control, it is the Emperor Taishang who pushed us into the camp of several princes step by step, and wants to take advantage of the matter of a few princes to win the heirs and clean up the few who are on the wrong side, but unfortunately the matter is beyond his control." Speaking of this, Wang Ziteng sneered even more.

Seeing him with such a look, Lu Jing could almost conclude that several princes chose to mutiny and force the palace in the end, and there must be them behind the scenes.

Then Lu Jing asked more secrets, only to find that the entanglement of the matter was far more complicated than he imagined, what he saw before was only the tip of the iceberg, listening to what Wang Ziteng said, even the king of Zhongshun had the heart of seizing the heir before, but finally gave up, no wonder the emperor was a little wary of him.

The two chatted a few more words, and Lu Jing offered to leave.

Wang Ziteng stared at Lu Jing for a moment, and suddenly said: "Baochai's matter, the old man will fulfill you!" ”

Lu Jing looked stunned when he heard this, pondered for a moment, and thanked him: "Thank you, my lord, for your success." Then he turned and left.

Wang Ziteng looked at Lu Jing's back in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although he had already looked up to him as much as possible, he didn't expect it to be underestimated, he thought he would control him for a while, but he didn't expect him to be out of his control so soon.

But that's fine, Lu Jing is so outstanding, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for himself, if he fails, with Lu Jing as a back-up, the Wang family will be able to make a comeback one day, and now since he can't control him, then take advantage of it.

After Lu Jing returned home, he immediately sent a letter to Baochai, asking her to move out of the Jia family as soon as possible, since Wang Ziteng has relented, there is no need for the Xue family to live in the Jia family, if the Jia family declines, the Xue family will not be able to leave.

Xue Baochai was puzzled when she received Lu Jing's letter, and suddenly received a letter from Wang Ziteng, which was full of words of concern, and at the end of the letter, she praised her for her good vision and choosing the right person.

Baochai looked at the two letters that had arrived, although she was curious about how the lover persuaded her uncle, but she was even more pleased that the biggest obstacle to her marriage had finally disappeared, and after putting away the letters, she immediately found Aunt Xue, planning to follow the lover's arrangement and persuade her mother to move out of Jia's house.

Aunt Xue's proposal to Baochai, but not very reluctant, now the Xue family is in decline, only orphans and widows are left in the two families, living in the Jia family can also take advantage of the Jia family's momentum, deter those with bad intentions in the clan, if they move out, wouldn't they have no support.

Xue Baochai continued to persuade: "My brother is going to get married next month, how can there be any reason to get married at a relative's house?" ”

Aunt Xue shook her head and said: "It's okay to do this, we just borrow the Jia family's place, and we don't spend their money, now your brother still has a constraint in the Jia family, if he moves out, won't it be even more difficult to discipline?" ”

Xue Baochai sighed and said: "Mother is often afraid that my brother will bring Baoyu and a few people, but I don't know that those people in Ningfu and those side branches of the Jia family are more unbearable than my brother's temperament. ”

Aunt Xue sighed after hearing this, she didn't know about the changes in her son, she just couldn't control him, and thought of Wang Ziteng and Jia Yuanchun, and said with some hesitation: "But where your uncle is, and where is the concubine Niangniang......

Xue Baochai heard that her mother was relieved, and immediately continued to persuade: "Uncle has sent a letter today, and he will no longer force his daughter to marry Baoyu, the concubine has never believed it, and it is estimated that she can't look down on her daughter, not to mention that Baoyu is not a good match." ”

Aunt Xue was suspicious: "When did your uncle send a letter?" ”

Xue Baochai hesitated for a moment, then took out Wang Ziteng's letter.

After Aunt Xue saw it, she stared at Baochai in disbelief, and said in surprise: "When did you have a crush, who is it?" ”

Xue Baochai thought about it or decided to hide the matter for the time being, a few months ago, Lu Jinggang and Baoqin's sister got married, if he said that he wanted to marry into the Lu family, his mother would definitely not agree, so he only said that he was the person set by his uncle and asked for his opinion.

Aunt Xue was relieved when she heard that Wang Ziteng was the matchmaker, and she saw that Baochai was happy and happy for her daughter, but she suddenly thought of Mrs. Wang, and said busily: "At the beginning, our family lent your aunt so much money for the sake of you and Baoyu, but now that the matter is not done, we need to let her return the money." ”

Xue Baochai has a general understanding of the financial situation of the Jia family, and knows that it will be difficult for the Jia family to repay, if he asks for it now, not only will he not get the money back, but he will lose his relatives, so he persuaded: "When we move out, it is not too late to find my aunt to ask for the account slowly, and if we move out, my aunt will not ask us to borrow money frequently." ”

Aunt Xue nodded after hearing this, and planned to go to Mrs. Wang in a few days to talk about repaying the money.

The two discussed and decided, and the next day they sent someone to clean up the Xue family's house in Beijing, Xue Pan came to ask why, and the two only told him that he was preparing a new house for him to get married next month.

When Xue Pan heard this, the stunning young lady and the two delicate maids he saw immediately appeared in his mind, and he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly took the initiative to take the errand to clean up the house and decorate the new house.

When everyone in the Jia family learned that the Xue family was going to move out, only Mrs. Wang sincerely persuaded her, and Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, Li Kun, Tanchun and others just said a few words and kept it a little.

The mother and daughter of the Xue family refused everyone's retention on the grounds of Xue Pan's marriage, saying that they would move out as long as the house was cleaned up.

Mrs. Wang's housekeeper is still thinking about borrowing the Xue family's money, so she keeps persuading the Xue family to stay, until Aunt Xue asks her to repay the money, she changes her mind and has been hiding in Aunt Xue, hoping to let the Xue family leave quickly.
