Chapter 461: Yangzhou Prefect
Jia's mother was quite satisfied with this thing, and then sent the dagger to Shi Nai's front and said to him: "My eldest brother was born as a military general, so he likes to fiddle with these things. I think this thing is also a fine product, you can make a token. ”
Shi Nai took it over and looked at it carefully, and he was also a little surprised, he was also a member of the Houmen family, but he had never seen such a gorgeous weapon. So I couldn't help but pull the dagger out of the sheath and look carefully, only to see a cold wind rushing in front of me, and the dagger was shining with cold light, and it was a treasure like clay at a glance.
Snay hurriedly put the dagger back into its sheath and placed it close to his body. Only then did he say to Jia Mu: "Since the token has been exchanged, then I think this matter has been decided." ”
Jia Mu said happily on the side: "Then it's settled." However, our Xiangyun is still young now, and we are not in a hurry, so we will marry like this, and it will not be too late to give them a round house in a few years. ”
Shi Nai also felt that it was a little inappropriate to send Shi Xiangyun over now, after all, Shi Xiangyun was not very old now, so he followed Jia's mother and said: "What my aunt said is right, it will not be too late to let them round the house in a few years." ”
Jia Zheng knew that it was time for him to speak, Jia Mu instructed him to pay attention to an errand for Shi Nai, he had discussed with Jia Ke just now, it was better to bring it up now to save Shi Nai's peace after he returned.
"Big brother, your cousin hasn't had any errands at home over the years, and his income is very meager, so you can find a way to make him have a real difference, so that the family can have a better life." Jia Zheng said to Jia Ke.
When Jia Mu and Shi Nai heard Jia Zheng's words, they looked at Jia Ke together, especially Shi Nai's eyes were shining with excitement, he gave Shi Xiangyun to Jia Ke, didn't he ask for it like this?
Jia Ke thought for a while and said to Jia's mother: "Old lady, I don't know if my uncle wants to be affordable or graded?" ”
Jia Mu sat on it and asked a little puzzled, "Is there any difference in this?" Isn't it true that the bigger the official, the more oil and water? ”
Now what I am doing below is my own family, so my mother has no scruples, and directly said something like "oil and water".
It seems that Jia's mother is also a little anxious about her nephew, after all, a dignified marquis is so poor that he asks the female relatives of the family to make needlework and sell it, which is also rare in the world.
How many years has Jia Zheng been an official, he knows the mystery, and quickly explained to Jia's mother: "The difference between the old lady and this is big." I think that if you want a grade, with the status of a cousin's marquis, it is common to get a three- or four-grade idle errand. But if you want to be affordable, you can only go to the local government to be a real job of five or six grades, so that you can get an income of tens of thousands of taels after one term. ”
After listening to Jia Zheng's words, Jia Ke hurriedly said to Jia's mother: "Old lady, it is exactly what my father said, although my grandson and I have some power, but if I want to have both oil and water and official status, I am afraid that I am not the only one who can decide." ”
After Jia's mother asked Jia Zheng and Jia Ke, she felt that this was also the truth, and there was no good thing in the world for one person. I want to make money and want to be a high official, how can there be such a thing in the world.
So Shi Nai, who was next to the statue of Jia Mu, took a look, "What do you mean?" But think about it. ”
Shi Nai thought for a while, and felt that he was now a marquis, and it was useless to ask for any grade, so it was better to do a practical job in the local area for a while, and live a good life at home after making some money.
Shi Nai then stood up and said to Jia's mother, Jia Zheng arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the care of the old lady and cousin, I think I am already a marquis now, what grade do I want?" It's still more affordable, give me a position that can make money, I can also get some money, and my family will have a good life in the future. ”
When Jia Mu heard his words, she couldn't help but nodded, feeling that he was still more able to recognize reality.
So Jia Mu turned her head and said to Jia Ke: "Your cousin is right, what grade do you want?" It's good to have some money at home. You just have to look at the placement of a better position for him. ”
Shi Nai is now staring at Jia Ke tightly, and it depends on what position he arranges for himself.
Jia Ke can still make a decision about these five or six officials. He thought for a while and said, "Does my cousin want to be more leisurely, or do you want to catch more oil and water?" ”
When Jia Mu heard Jia Ke ask again, she was a little unhappy, "If you have anything to say, just say it, what's the point of doing all this?" ”
Jia Ke hurriedly stood up and bowed to the ground at Jia's mother, "The old lady is a grandson, it's not right, I didn't make it clear." If you want to be more leisurely, you can go to the south to find a relatively wealthy state capital, and become a governor or prefect, and you can make a lot of money in a few years. If you want better oil and water, then go to these places in Yangzhou. However, this place is a critical pass for the imperial court, and there are not only the yamen of the governor of the river, but also the yamen of the governor of Caoyun. Then there are the officials at all levels of the salt road. It's not very comfortable to go there, but Yangzhou is the gathering place of the world's salt roads, and being a prefect there is more oil and water than being a few in other places. ”
Jia Ke paused for a moment, and then said: "Actually, it's not bad in other places, although there is less oil and water, but it is better to be stable." And Jiangnan is rich, although it is not as good as Yangzhou, but there is also a saying that the Qing prefect has been in the Qing Dynasty for three years, and there is a saying of 100,000 snowflakes and silver. This term can also alleviate the plight of the old uncle. ”
Jia Mu nodded after listening to Jia Ke's words, to be honest, she still hopes that Shi Nai will go to a place where he can live in peace, although there is less money, but there is less responsibility, and there are not so many people staring at it.
Jia Mu knows that Shi Nai has been poor and afraid all these years, if he goes to a place like Yangzhou, he will definitely work hard to make money, there are a few other yamen staring at it, and it is difficult to explain when something happens, it is better to go to the rich prefecture and county in the south, the Tiangao Emperor is far from being governed, and he tosses it, as long as there is no major incident, I think Jia Ke can cover up the past for him.
But Shi Nai didn't think so, Shi Nai's eyes were shining after listening to Jia Ke's words, he had long heard of Yangzhou's wealth, where a family fortune of one million is not considered top, and only a family fortune of tens of millions can be called rich. If you become a prefect there, the money you make will go to the sea.
And it has always been the prefect of Yangzhou in the imperial court, and if there is no one, it is almost impossible to hold the position. Now he is relying on Jia Ke to be the foreman of the military aircraft department, so he has hope to get this position.
So Shi Nai hurriedly said to Jia Ke: "Since you serve the imperial court, how can you have so much freedom. I think Yangzhou is good, and it can contribute to the imperial court. ”
Jia Ke heard what he meant, smiled and said, "Since my cousin chose Yangzhou, let's go back and prepare, and I will give you a letter in half a month." ”
Jia Mu smiled when she heard it and said, "What more than half a month, you can write a document and seal it now, just let him go inside." ”
Jia Zheng hurriedly dissuaded Jia's mother next to him: "Mother, don't, now the prefect of Yangzhou is still waiting well." You have to give someone an explanation, otherwise you will be transferred and let others know, which is not good for the reputation of our house. ”
And Jia Zheng still has a meaning that he didn't say, that is, the current Yangzhou prefect is a close confidant of the emperor, and Jia Ke just wants his uncle to be the prefect of Yangzhou, and he also wants to give an explanation to the emperor.
Mother Jia knew that Jia Zheng was talking about this truth, so she reluctantly said to Shi Nai next to her: "In this case, you can go back and wait for a while, after all, the court is not opened by our family, and your nephew is also planning." ”
Since Shi Nai has won Jia Ke's letter, he is already very happy, what can he do after a while? So he gave his hands to Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and Jia Ke again and again.
After the business was over, Jia Mu ordered someone to hold a banquet in the hall. This nephew hasn't been at home for many years, but this time Jia's mother is not happy, and she has to keep him for a meal no matter what.
Shi Nai naturally knew that the position he got now was thanks to Jia Mu in Zhou Xuan, so he tried his best to please Jia Mu, how could he dare to disagree.
So in the living room of Jia's mother's room, a large round table was set up.
Jia's mother sat in the middle, Jia Zheng and Shi Nai accompanied each other, and Jia Ke sat opposite Jia's mother. After a while, all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas were sent together.
Because Jia Ke is now in the best official residence, the Jia family's life is more luxurious than before. Now this table of dishes flying in the sky and underground in the water swim in everything, everything, all kinds of cherished seafood is also everything.
These are just ordinary, and there are some rare good things on the table, such as the bear's paw from Liaodong, shark fin from the South China Sea, and even a prawn more than a foot long. Except for the Jia family, there are almost no things in the palace.
That's not all, there are all kinds of elaborate practices, which are simply unheard of.
Shi Nai looked at the straight tongue beside him, just this table of dishes is enough for a month's expenses in their house. Only now did he know how far the gap between himself and Rong Guofu had reached.
Now he regrets it very much, why he couldn't let go of his face in the first place, and came to ask his aunt early. Otherwise, the family would not have suffered like that all these years.
Jia Zheng didn't know Shi Nai's thoughts, and he didn't care about these chores, over the years, he only felt that the food was better than before, and as for the rest, he didn't care.
Jia Zheng sat there and kept pouring wine and cloth dishes for Jia Mu and Shi Nai. Keep persuading them to eat more.
Mother Jia sat on it and watched Shi Nai, Jia Zheng and others eat happily together, with infinite satisfaction in her heart. Now that people are old, they like to watch the family live a lively and beautiful life.
This meal was only eaten for more than an hour, and Shi Nai was already a little drunk after the meal. Over the years, he finally let go of the troubles in his heart and was able to drink alcohol easily. Therefore, I can't control myself in terms of quantity.
Jia Mu saw that Shi Nai was a little drunk, and quickly ordered someone to send him to the guest room. Then he sent someone to the Baoling Marquis Mansion to report it, saving the family from worrying.
