Lu Jing was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure and began to think about how to avoid politicization of the matter.

Not long after, Lu Jing suggested: "The world often says: 'The father's grace is higher than the mountain, and the mother's grace is deeper than the sea', and the world's greatest is more than a 'filial piety' word. ”

King Zhongshun nodded thoughtfully, then glanced at Lu Jing with interest, and said: "This king still has important matters, so I won't accompany him, this wine is invited by this king!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Lu Jing tugged at Shen Liang's sleeve, and the two said in unison: "The student sends off the prince." ”

King Zhongshun waved his hand and left the private room directly with Hu Cong.

After King Zhongshun left, Lu Jing and Shen Liang looked out and found that the Qianxiang Kingdom delegation and Bailu had already disappeared from the street.

"Scared the hell out of me!" Shen Liang said with palpitations that the reputation of the King of Zhongshun was not good, and he was deeply afraid of making the King of Zhongshun unhappy.

"It's really a surprise, I didn't expect King Zhongshun to appear here!" Lu Jing shook his head and said, although he didn't have much reverence for the imperial power in his heart, he had to deal with people who could easily decide his life and death.

Shen Liang looked at Lu Jing with great admiration and said, "The little brother's legs and stomach are trembling with fright, and the elder brother can handle it easily." ”

"I just arrived in Jingshi, and I don't know much about King Zhongshun, so I am less afraid!" Lu Jing explained casually.

The main reason is that he feels that King Zhongshun is not a tyrannical person, and when King Zhongshun was the prince, he was also a chivalrous king, but he has lived like this all these years.

Shen Liang looked around cautiously, and after finding that there was no one, he whispered: "Speaking of King Zhongshun, he is a romantic person, but he likes male style!" ”

"I heard that the emperor wanted to personally choose a princess for him to marry, but he was rejected by King Zhongshun."

"It seems that most of the powerful people in Beijing like to raise boys, and it is not surprising that King Zhongshun has this habit." Lu Jing also said in a low voice.

He is a little puzzled by this atmosphere in Beijing, Jiangnan has always been extremely taboo on this matter, but it may be related to the fact that Jiangnan is deeply influenced by Confucianism.

"Also, it's just like this, and the little brother should go back!" Shen Liang nodded and said, he was still a little frightened by what happened just now, and decided to go back slowly.

"It's okay, I'll invite you to my house another day to enjoy the flowers and drink!" Lu Jing smiled, and then the two went back to their respective homes.

After Lu Jing and Shen Liang separated, they did not go back to the house directly, but came to Lin Ruhai's mansion and told Lin Ruhai about the encounter with King Zhongshun and Bailu today.

After Lin Ruhai heard this, he pondered for a long time and said: "Huai Jin doesn't need to worry, this matter is not a political matter, and it is okay to discuss a few words." ”

Lu Jing shook his head and said: "The disciple is not worried about this matter, but is worried about the situation in Beijing, these nobles first demonstrated at Qin Keqing's funeral, and now they have made auspicious things, I am afraid that the situation in Beijing is even more tense." ”

Lin Ruhai also said with a serious expression: "Now that the situation in Beijing is complicated, it will affect the whole body, I am afraid that the emperor will only temporarily back down." ”

"The disciple also thinks the same way, but I don't know how the emperor will appease these nobles."

He was mainly worried about how Emperor Yuanyong would compromise, Emperor Yuanyong chose Xu Jingnian as the main exam, which was aimed at Emperor Taishang's lineage, and now Xungui counterattacked, but he didn't know whether Emperor Yuanyong would compromise on Chunqiu.

"It's nothing more than more favor, and it won't give them too much real power." Lin Ruhai shook his head and said.

Lu Jing nodded, suppressed his worries about Chun Yu, and said, "Qian Xiangguo's move may cause a war between the two countries!" ”

"This matter is extremely unlikely, it is estimated that the country of Qianxiang was also fooled by the king of Nan'an, and the relationship between the country of Qianxiang and our dynasty is not as good as that of the previous dynasty, and there is a lot of trade between the two countries." Lin Ruhai denied that he had been in Jiangnan for a long time and knew the situation of the two countries better than Lu Jing.

"The teacher is talking about the bronze trade?" Lu Jing asked, the trade between the Qianxiang Kingdom and the imperial court was through the southeast coastal area.

"Yes, it is precisely because the imperial court and the Qianxiang Kingdom have a bronze deal that the relationship between the two countries is quite stable."

Lu Jing nodded, he also knew something about this matter, there were a lot of pirates in the southeast coastal area in the previous dynasty, most of them made money by smuggling to the Qianxiang country, and there were many national wars between the previous dynasty and the Qianxiang country, in the final analysis, it was all for trade.

The demand for bronze in this dynasty was huge, most of which were imported from the country of Qianxiang, and the two countries had jointly sent troops to clear those pirates for the sake of trade stability, but those pirates were originally impersonated by the families or merchants of the two countries.

"I think there will be a war in a few years."

"My dynasty lacks copper, and a large amount of bronze is needed to mint money, and the copper mines of Qianxiang Country are abundant, and the trade between my dynasty and Qianxiang Country is mostly to obtain copper mines in Qianxiang Country, but now copper is expensive and cheap, I am afraid that in a few years, the imperial court will not be able to help but do something to Qianxiang Country."

The main reason why he was so sure was that he remembered that it was written in the book that a few years later, the dynasty launched a war against the Qianxiang Kingdom, and at the beginning, the king of Nan'an County was not only unfavorable in battle, but also captured by the Qianxiang Kingdom.

Emperor Yuanyong issued an order to let the daughter of the Wang family of Nan'an County be reconciled, and the old lady of Nan'an came to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, selected Jia Tanchun from the Jia family, thought that she was the goddaughter, and asked Jia Tanchun to go and kiss for the county lord of the Wang family of Nan'an County.

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "It makes sense for you to say so, but now the situation in the DPRK and China is unstable, the treasury is empty, and the emperor is powerless even if he wants to fight." ”

"What the teacher said is that if you go outside, you must first settle inside, and presumably the emperor has not had the heart to investigate the affairs of Qianxiang Kingdom in the past few years!" Lu Jing nodded.

After saying this, Lin Ruhai took out a few pieces of paper, took them to Lu Jing and said: "The few scriptures and righteous questions on this are for the teacher to summarize the results of the examination in the past few years, after you take it back, think about it carefully, and after you write it, show it to me!" ”

"Let the teacher bother, the disciple will finish it as soon as possible!" After Lu Jing took it, he thanked him, he also had some experience in studying Rong Jinji recently, and he just practiced with these topics.

Lin Ruhai continued: "Tomorrow, an old friend will come to visit, if you have time, you might as well come and meet!" ”

Lu Jing nodded in agreement, and then asked, "But is the teacher's old friend in Beijing?" ”

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "It's an old acquaintance in Yangzhou a few years ago, this person was originally Yu'er's husband when he was young, and he was also born as a Jinshi, and his talent is also quite outstanding!" ”

When Lu Jing heard that it was Lin Daiyu's young husband, he knew that Lin Ruhai was talking about Jia Yu Village, but he didn't expect that Lin Ruhai and Jia Yu Village would still be connected.

So he asked, "What did the teacher say about Jia Yucun?" ”

Lin Ruhai was surprised: "Yes, I didn't expect Huai Jin to also know this person, his name is Jia Hua, the word is flying, alias Yucun, his temperament is square, his knowledge is extraordinary, and now he is an official in Beijing, if you can get acquainted, it will also be beneficial to you in the future." ”

Lu Jing was a little disappointed with Lin Ruhai's way of looking at people, and immediately reminded: "The disciple heard that he was an improper official, and he sentenced many unjust, false and wrongful cases when he was the prefect of Jinling!" ”

He doesn't have a very good sense of Jia Yucun, Jia Yucun clings to the powerful, and it is understandable that he tends to be inflammatory, but it is a little disgraceful to bend the law for personal gain, and he will take revenge.

"Is that true?" Lin Ruhai said vigilantly, after going through many things, he is now extremely convinced of what Lu Jing said.

Lu Jing immediately told Lin Ruhai about Xue Pan, worried that it would not be enough to alert Lin Ruhai, and changed Zhen Shiyin's funding to Jia Yucun and Yinglian's abduction.

After Lin Ruhai listened, his face turned pale, he really couldn't imagine that in his eyes, Jia Yucun, who was extraordinary, could do such an ungrateful thing.

What made him even more embarrassed was that Jia Yucun was able to recover because of him.

Lu Jing saw that Lin Ruhai was angry, and persuaded him: "This matter has been a long time, and it is useless for the teacher to be angry. ”

Lin Ruhai blamed himself and said: "I don't know anyone, and I recommend such an ungrateful and favoritist villain, I don't know how many people will suffer because of this!" ”

Lu Jing sighed: "Now Jia Yucun and the Jia family have a very good relationship, I heard that a few years ago, he also connected with the Jia family and became the nephew of the political master, and now Jia Yucun has Wang Ziteng behind him to take care of him, the teacher still has to have a deep friendship with him, so as to avoid being eaten by him!" ”

"If it weren't for your reminder, I would still be kept in the dark, don't worry, the teacher will deal with this person!" Lin Ruhai said to Lu Jing with great gratitude, but now he feels that he is not worthy of being Lu Jing's teacher.

"The teacher just knows what to expect!" After Lu Jing reminded him, he no longer paid attention to this matter.

While the two were talking, Lin Zhong came to report and Jia Lian visited.

Lu Jing looked at Lin Ruhai's expression, and then asked to leave.

Jia Lian recently tried his best, and finally found evidence that Mrs. Wang had embezzled public property during her housekeeping back then, so she came to Lin Ruhai for an idea.

Lin Ruhai now has no intention of marrying his daughter to the Jia family, and is planning to reduce the involvement with the Jia family, and has no heart to calculate the Jia family anymore, and the Wang family cares about her bullying Daiyu, casually perfunctory Jia Lian A few words, and sent Jia Lian back.

Jia Lian came excitedly, dejected, extremely unwilling, after returning home, he was still uneasy, and couldn't figure out why Lin Ruhai's attitude changed so much before and after.

Wang Xifeng saw Jia Lian's dejected look, so he asked the reason.

After Jia Lian blasted out a few maids in the room, he told Wang Xifeng about seeing Lin Ruhai twice before and after.

Wang Xifeng was able to persuade Jia Lian a few words at first, but when he heard Jia Lian mention the issue of heirs, he felt a little chill in his heart.

She and Jia Lian have been married for nine years, and since she gave birth to her daughter six years ago, her stomach has not moved, and she secretly doubts in her heart, is it really anyone's way.

As a high-level player, she has been on guard all these years, and she never uses musk in the house.

It's just that she has always loved luxury, the perennial incense in the room, and the same is true for clothes and quilts, although most of the spices used are purchased in the house, but there are also many spices given to her by Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang likes to be pure, and she doesn't like the fragrant mist in the room, so she often distributes her spices to Sister Feng and others.

Jia Lian looked at Sister Feng'er's expression and understood that she had the same suspicions about the heir.

So the husband and wife discussed together to investigate the matter.

Wang Xifeng asked Ping'er to quietly take out all the pillows, sachets, and spices in her room for inspection.

Two days later, Ping'er reported that a few spices were mixed with a small amount of musk.

Hearing the news, Wang Xifeng almost fainted, and after waking up, a monstrous anger suddenly ignited in her heart, she has given the second room housekeeper in the past few years, and most of the dowry has been pasted in, but as a result, she offended people everywhere, and was calculated by her own aunt.

At this moment, she couldn't wait to go to her aunt immediately.
