Second, as soon as Lu Jing returned from the Hanlin Academy, he received an invitation from Jia Zheng, inviting him to the Rong Mansion for a while.

Lu Jing had some doubts in his heart, so he came to Lin Ruhai with an invitation card and asked: "Does the teacher know what the master invited the students to?" ”

Lin Ruhai shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, and then looked at the disciple's expression, and he knew a little in his heart, and asked, "But do you want to refuse for the teacher?" ”

Lu Jing shook his head, he was a little interested in Jia Zheng's invitation in his heart, but he didn't want to go to Jia's house, so he said: "The disciple wants to invite the teacher to set up a banquet, invite the master Zheng to come over, and the disciple will accompany him!" ”

Lin Ruhai nodded before he could think about it: "Just according to your words!" ”

After arranging for someone to prepare the banquet and invite Jia Zheng, Lin Ruhai continued to ask: "How is the matter arranged by the emperor?" ”

"Tiao Chen was written yesterday and has been submitted to the emperor!" Lu Jing replied that after writing the punctuation note last night, he gave it to Lu Jun to revise it, and now he has handed it over.

Within an hour, Jia Zheng came to Lin Mansion, accompanied by Jia Yucun and Jia Lan.

Lu Jing was very surprised when he saw Jia Yucun coming, and he hurriedly gathered his thoughts and apologized to Jia Zheng: "Please also invite Shibo Haihan, the younger generation is a little inconvenient in time." ”

Lin Ruhai helped explain on the side: "Don't blame Brother Zhou, presumably Brother Zhou also listened to the events of yesterday's court meeting, Huai Jin is now writing a note, and he really lacks skills!" ”

"Huai Jin was worried that Brother Cun Zhou would have something important to discuss with him, so he had to invite Brother Cun Zhou to come over to talk about it, how disrespectful, and please bear with Brother Cun Zhou."

Jia Zheng showed a sudden expression, and said busily: "It's that the old man didn't think it through, and it was a little abrupt!" ”

"It's really nothing important to invite the virtuous nephew, it's Lan'er who has always been grateful to Huaijin, and the old man also has this idea, so he made a post."

"During these times, my nephew has always been grateful to Uncle Shi in his heart, and I want to thank Uncle Shi for his teaching." Jia Lan hurriedly bowed, and was extremely grateful to Lu Jing in his heart.

After Lu Jing asked Jia Lan to get up, he said with a smile: "Shibo is polite, Lan'er is also a junior of the student, and the student is also very optimistic about Lan'er, these are all due meanings!" ”

"If you hadn't reminded me, the old man would have almost ignored Lan'er!" Jia Zheng looked at Jia Lan with a smile, he was extremely satisfied with the eldest grandson on the side, originally his son was unwilling to study, which made him extremely sad, but the eldest grandson was deeply hearted, not only studied hard, but also quite a part, he has now shifted all his attention to the eldest grandson.

When Jia Lan heard this, his heart was quite complicated, and he now wanted to find Lu Jing to tell him about his recent suffering.

Lu Jing saw that Jia Zhengshen was happy, Jia Lan looked strange, and guessed in his heart that the more Jia Zheng attaches importance to Jia Lan, the worse the situation of Li Kun's mother and son in the Jia family will be, and the rise of Jia Lan will have too much impact on Jia Baoyu's status in the Jia family.

After Jia Zheng greeted him, he hurriedly introduced Lu Jing to Jia Yucun.

Lu Jing had a bad sense of Jia Yucun and didn't want to intersect with him, so it was just a symbolic greeting.

Jia Yucun felt Lu Jing's estrangement, although he was full of smiles, he was very angry in his heart, and this anger was not only aimed at Lu Jing, but also at Tang Zezheng

For more than a month, he has been collecting evidence against Lu Jing, and finally found out about Qinglin Academy, and was about to lay out to deal with Lu Jing, but before he could unfold, he killed a Tang Zezhong halfway, which not only made his plan die, but also made Lu Jing show off at the court.

After the five people sat down at the table, they started with Jia Lan as the topic, and after chatting a few words, Jia Zheng took the initiative to start chatting about the situation at yesterday's court meeting.

"Although the old man was not on it, but in hindsight, he could still feel the tension at that time, and it was amazing that the virtuous nephew was able to deal with it calmly and resolve it wittily."

"Brother Cunzhou, don't praise him like this, if it weren't for Tang Zezhong's lack of preparation, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to get off easily." Lin Ruhai said, thinking about it now, yesterday's shape was still extremely dangerous, and Lu Jing was able to retreat completely, mostly by luck.

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "You are too demanding of Huai Jin, the old man has seen many young talents, not as much as Huai Jin!" ”

After chatting about the court, Jia Zheng turned the topic to Jia Lan again: "The first few old men asked about Lan'er's ambitions, hehe, Lan'er did not hesitate to take Huai Jin as an example. ”

"I have to come to visit Huai Jin many times, hehe, the old man is cheeky, if Huai Jin thinks that Lan'er's qualifications are still eye-catching, I will ask my nephew to teach Lan'er more in the future!"

Lu Jing felt that Jia Zheng's attitude was too much, and he needed to cool him down, so he said: "Shibo smiled, the younger generation is still young, and his knowledge is limited, so he really doesn't dare to teach the two words. ”

"It's just that there is something in this matter, and the juniors can only be offended, asking Lan'er for a teacher is the uncle's deathbed, and the juniors are also obedient, otherwise the juniors will never dare to mention this matter."

Lin Ruhai said: "Brother Cun Zhou has extraordinary knowledge, wouldn't it be better to teach him personally, and he can also enjoy the joy of Tianlun." ”

Jia Yucun said with a smile: "Lord Lin is good, Uncle Shi is knowledgeable and virtuous, so that Sun has outstanding qualifications, if Uncle Shi teaches in person, it complements each other." ”

Seeing this, Jia Zheng stopped mentioning the matter, and when Jia Lan heard Lu Jing's refusal, he was secretly disappointed in his heart, and he was very depressed.

Several people then chatted about other topics, and when the banquet was nearing the end, Jia Zhengqi Prince Teng.

"My brother-in-law has been writing to praise Huai Jin, but he is not in Beijing, it is difficult to see, and he has always regretted it, and he blames Zheng for not mentioning Huai Jin to him earlier, hehe, for this reason, my brother-in-law specially sent his nephew to Beijing to recommend the old man on his behalf."

"If the old man wants to come, it is better to hold a banquet at home and invite some juniors from the world's friends, how close and close you are!"

Since Jia Zheng and the prince vacated Lu Jing, Wang Ziteng wanted to win over Lu Jing.

After Emperor Yuanyong succeeded to the throne, the four kings and eight dukes in Beijing and other noble forces were constantly promoted and secretly surrendered by the emperor and transferred out of the capital.

The same is true of the four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue, Emperor Yuan Yong was first promoted to the commander of the nine provinces of the prince Tengwei, transferred him from the capital, and then transferred Baoling Hou Shi Nai to Ping'an Prefecture.

Wang Ziteng felt that the power in Beijing was insufficient, so he continued to go to the capital and recommended Jia Yucun to serve in Beijing to make up for the lack of strength in Beijing and avoid being drawn by Emperor Yuan Yong.

He originally wanted to continue to recommend Jia Yucun and let Jia Yucun become the representative of the four of them in Beijing, but now that he found Lu Jing, he wanted to win Lu Jing over.

Lu Jing was already puzzled by Jia Zhengjin's attitude, but now when he heard Wang Ziteng's name, he instantly understood, fortunately, Jia Zheng was quite kind and came out directly, if Wang Ziteng was afraid that he would tie himself to the chariot first.

Hearing Wang Ziteng, Lin Ruhai instantly became vigilant, and without waiting for Lu Jing to speak, he refused for him: "Let's stop this matter, Huai Jin is now under the holy order, and he may not be able to spare time, and the wedding date of Huai Jin and Yu'er is set for March next year, and they still have to prepare for the marriage, so I am afraid that there will be no time for these social interactions." ”

"Ru Chui is going to congratulate Huai Jin!" Jia Yucun smiled when he heard this, especially when he heard Lin Ruhai's direct refusal, his heart settled down.

Since he learned that Jia Zheng strongly recommended Lu Jing to Wang Ziteng, and Wang Ziteng also had the intention of wooing Lu Jing, he secretly prepared a means to deal with Lu Jing, intending to wait until Lu Jing threatened his position and give him a fatal blow.

It's just that the first plan was sabotaged, and his heart was still hanging when he came, and now it seems that there is no need to worry anymore, Lu Jing will replace him.

Although Jia Zheng had expected it in his heart, he was still a little disappointed when he heard Lin Ruhai's simple refusal, and he hurriedly gathered his thoughts and congratulated Lin Ruhai and Lu Jing.

Then the atmosphere between the few people was a little awkward, and as soon as the banquet ended, Jia Zheng took Jia Yucun and Jia Lan to say goodbye and leave.

In the following years, Lu Jing has been focusing on investigating Tang Zezhong's affairs, but he has never found anyone behind Tang Zezhong.

When the news of Yangzhou came back, Lu Jing secretly said in his heart that punctuation was now used in many academies in Yangzhou, and there were many people who were imitating their habit of reading and adding points, and some people were even preparing to engrave the four books of classics.

Fortunately, at the court meeting, he mentioned that he had corrected the punctuation, and now it has begun to be used in the official documents of the DPRK and China, otherwise I don't know how many people will attack him with this matter.

Fortunately, there were also some doubts at the same time, there were two groups of Ran Qinglin Academy who had inquired about him, and both of them were from Beijing, and one of them was extremely obvious, and it seemed that he didn't care about being discovered at all.

Lu Jing followed this line and only found Tang Zezhong's head, and the back was broken.

Although the other group of people is somewhat obscure, some people deliberately left clues.

"Master, the last thing I found out was Jia Hua!" Lu Zheng said solemnly, obviously someone deliberately left these clues to guide them to find the head of Jia Yu Village.

Lu Jingshen was a little dignified, it was obvious that someone was behind this matter.

"Keep an eye on Jia Yu Village!" Lu Jing said in a deep voice, combined with the matter of Najia Zhengsu and Jia Yucun's performance, it is basically certain that Jia Yucun wants to use this matter against him, but the plan has not yet been launched.

No matter what the purpose of the people behind the scenes is to guide them to find out about Jia Yucun, since Jia Yucun has already made a move, he can't help but pay tribute.

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Uncle, don't worry, manpower has been arranged!" ”

"As for Tang Zezhong, continue to investigate his affairs!" Lu Jing continued, Tang Zezhong should have just been used, although his impeachment inadvertently helped him, but combined with these investigations, Tang Zezhong was very hostile to himself, and he could not relax his vigilance.

"The people behind the scenes don't need to be checked first, so as not to expose ourselves, don't contact our shadows during this time!" Lu Jing was a little worried, although the people behind the scenes seemed to help him, but he was also aware of his actions.

"Uncle, should we continue to investigate, if we don't find out clearly, people will always be unsure?" Lu Zheng said ugly, in this investigation, they were completely led by the nose, and they were extremely aggrieved in their hearts.

"You don't have to check it for the time being, you can't find out, no matter who it is, since you haven't shown hostility to us yet, it doesn't hurt to let it go first, sooner or later there will be an appearance!" Lu Jing said, there were a few guesses in his heart, but he couldn't be sure who it was.

"Now that the New Year is approaching, let's wait until the next year!"

The second New Year of the Lu family in the capital was extremely grand and noisy, and Lu Jing was busy from the year to the year.

Years ago, the main thing was to prepare New Year's goods and worship ancestors, since returning to his hometown in May to worship his ancestors, he built an ancestral shrine in Beijing according to the ancestral hall of the ancestral house of Gusu, which enshrined the ancestors of their Lu family, including his father Lu Yu.

After the year, he was mainly busy visiting relatives and friends, and now he needs to visit a lot more colleagues and relatives and friends in Beijing, in addition to the Lin family, the Shen family, the Feng family, the Xu family, Chen Ting, Ge Yin, Zhang Chengliu, etc.

When it came to the Shangyuan Festival, the imperial concubines and nobles who were allowed to take over the car had come to their books, and the speeches were ready.

Emperor Yuan Yong first sent officials from the Ministry of Industry and the soldiers and horses of the five cities to clean the streets on several main roads in the capital, drive away idlers, block and set up barricades, and prepare for the provincial concubines.

After the palace dinner, a eunuch came to ask for an order.

"Let them go!" Emperor Yuan Yong's face sank to a terrible level, and the hand in his sleeve suddenly appeared. The concubine province opened a precedent in ancient and modern times, and he could not escape the history books.

"Give me a good look at them, whoever you see, whatever you say, you have to report everything to me!"

"Slave... Minions obey! Frightened by Emperor Yuanyong's voice, he asked the eunuch to reply tremblingly.

With the emperor's order, Yang Shufei, Wu Guifei, Jia Yuanfei, Zhou Gui six concubines and concubines set off from Zicheng in order according to their grades.

At the beginning of the day, Lu Jing originally planned to take Lu Zhiyu to watch the Lantern Festival of the Shangyuan Festival, but now that he looked at the shape, he canceled his plan to travel.

At this time, both sides of the street were crowded with onlookers, and in the eyes of the people in Beijing, the lantern festival existed every year, but it was rare for nobles to travel for decades.

Lu Jing was not interested in watching the honor guard of the concubine, but he felt that the emperor might not feel good at this moment.

Although in the name of the palace concubine, the scale of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival has been reduced by half and a lot of money has been saved, but it is afraid that it will insult the royal majesty if the people see such a trouble.

The Jia family is in the limelight this year, and the old friends who can't beat the eight poles have come up to climb relatives.

Only the Lin family's New Year's gift was two points thinner than last year, which made the Jia family angrily scold Lin Ruhai for how thin he was.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Jia's mother first led the Jia family's high-grade lady to enter the palace to celebrate Yuan's birthday.

On the eighth day of the first month, Jiafu ordered to enter the palace to congratulate, and then the palace sent several eunuchs and grandmothers to conduct relevant etiquette training for the people of Jiafu, such as where to change clothes after receiving the car, where to sit, where to receive gifts, where to have a banquet, where to retire, etc.

On the tenth day of the first month, there were eunuchs who inspected the local prime minister's guards, and brought many eunuchs out, guarding everywhere, blocking and setting up blocks, instructing the Jia family where to retreat, where to kneel, where to eat, where to post, and all kinds of rituals and notes were different.

After some tossing, many people in the Jia family were choked by the toss, and many of their knees were swollen.

On the twelfth day of the first month, the Lin family received a post from Jia's mansion to take Daiyu to Rongfu to meet the concubine.

Lin Ruhai didn't think about it, so he refused without hesitation, and directly Daiyu wanted to be married at home, and it was not appropriate to disturb relatives.

Jia's mother was dissatisfied, and within one day, she sent three groups of people to invite, but Lin Ruhai was unmoved.

On the thirteenth day of the first month, Mother Jia sent Wang Xifeng to invite, it was the old lady who wanted to see her granddaughter, if the Lin family did not let her go, the old lady would come to invite in person.

Lin Ruhai had no choice but to agree that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he would send Daiyu to Jiafu to meet the old lady.
