After Jia Ke learned about the situation of the historian, although he was not happy, he did not say anything. After all, this is a common strategy of large families, and it is not a betrayal.

But since they do this, then they will have to follow the rules in the future. If you don't make the first bird, degrade his official and let him be a commoner, if you dare to make the first bird, don't blame yourself for not thinking about family affection.

Jia Ke is not violating the rules by doing this, this is also common sense in the big family, one is prosperous, and the other is lonely.

Not to mention Jia Ke's suspicion of each other here, in the Ningshou Palace in the palace, the body of the Emperor Taishang has become less and less, so during this period of time, the emperor almost came to visit the Emperor Taishang every other day.

On this day, the emperor had just entered the Ningshou Palace of the Emperor Taishang, and he saw the Empress Dowager crying there.

The emperor looked at this woman from a distance, not only did he not feel a trace of pity in his heart, but he was inexplicably excited. This woman also has today, and after a while the emperor is gone, he will let this woman know how wrong what she did back then.

When the emperor thought so, his eyes couldn't help but become more and more gloomy.

And the queen mother was crying there, and suddenly felt a chill rise in her body, so she couldn't help but look up, only to see the emperor standing far away, looking at herself gloomily.

This frightened the queen mother, and at the same time, looking at the emperor's face that was very similar to the concubine back then, she couldn't help but feel goosebumps.

And the emperor also loosened his gloom at this time, and his face turned into a smile. He came to the queen mother in three steps and two steps, and said with a smile: "Why is the queen mother crying here?" It's not that I'm unhappy about something, I'll sort it out for you. ”

And the queen mother seemed to have just woken up, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little worried about your father, so I'm crying here." Now that your father has just woken up, go in and see him. ”

The emperor then said goodbye, and left the front hall, and walked straight to the dormitory of Ningshou Palace.

And the queen mother looked at the emperor's distant figure, and couldn't help but feel a chill. Now that she has sensed the danger of the emperor more than ever, I am afraid that even the emperor will not necessarily save her.

The queen mother thought about it, although she was not young, she had not lived enough, and she didn't want to return to the West just like that.

In this world, I am afraid that the one who can save him now is Jia Gong, but once he asks Jia Ke for help, he will betray the emperor.

But as the saying goes, it is difficult to die for eternity, and there is no one in this world who really wants to die.

So the queen mother quietly walked out of Ningshou Palace, and next to her was the little eunuch Li Deshan.

Li Deshan is now quite favored by the emperor, and he has already mastered part of the power in the palace, and his hands and eyes are all over the sky.

The Empress Dowager and Li Deshan have been passed all the way to the Imperial Garden.

Suddenly, the Empress Dowager said, "How is Marquis Wuyang lately?" ”

Li Deshan was a little stunned when he heard the Queen Mother ask, and only said after a while: "Queen Mother, what does this mean?" ”

The Empress Dowager said as she walked forward: "That little trick of yours, this palace has already discovered it. ”

But Li Deshan said inexplicably: "What is the Queen Mother talking about, the slave really doesn't understand." If the Queen Mother has any instructions, please make it clear. ”

"You don't think that this palace is the same as those women in the palace, and you are powerless, right?"

Li Deshan did not answer, but told the Queen Mother with his eyes, aren't you?

The Queen Mother looked at Li Deshan's questioning eyes, smiled lightly, and then suddenly slapped a palm at the rockery next to her.

Although the rockery was not smashed this time, the force was not small, and it made the huge stone shake.

Li Deshan was completely taken aback when he saw the queen mother like this, and he used to hear people say that the queen mother was a heroine after the gate. I used to listen to it as a joke, but now I see that the queen mother really has two hands.

The Queen Mother clapped her hands, and then said helplessly: "For so many years, the kung fu has fallen. I think that when Prince Yizhong led the army to invade the palace, the palace had one person and one shot, blocking these people outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace for an hour. ”

Li Deshan understands now, his every move is watched by the Queen Mother, but Li Deshan doesn't understand why the Queen Mother didn't report him.

"You go back and tell your lords that after the death of the Emperor, the palace does not want to fight for power and profit, but only wants to protect his old age, as long as he agrees, the palace will try to cooperate with him after the death of the emperor."

Li Deshan still didn't believe the Queen Mother, so he said: "What does the Queen Mother mean?" Is it really disregarding the emperor's thousands of miles of country? ”

When the queen mother heard this, she said a little desolately: "Since ancient times, the ruthless emperor family, the emperor has a little affection for the palace, and the palace is desperate to keep his country, but he has now given up the palace." ”

The Empress Dowager is also a little sad when she thinks of this, although he has accompanied the Emperor Taishang for so many years, and when the Emperor Taishang is about to die, he takes care of him day and night, but the Emperor Taishang has not left her a guarantee until now, and it was said that he left a holy decree back then, but now it seems that it is just an empty word, or it was a test of himself back then, if he agreed, I am afraid that he would have been gone.

When Li Deshan heard this, he could only say, "The slave still doesn't understand what the queen mother means, but since the queen mother is a little worried, then the slave will try every means to solve the problems for the queen mother, and after a while, the slave will think of a way to return to the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother nodded when she heard this, he knew that Li Deshan had already vaguely told him that he would give him a common problem, as for what Jia Ke meant, it seems that it will take a while to know.

Besides, Shi Nai took people to Rongguo Mansion the next day and asked to see the old lady again.

This time, Jia Ke and Jia Zheng were not in the mansion, Jia Ke had to deal with military discipline, and Jia Zheng also had things to do in the yamen, so it was Jia Zhu and Jia Lian who personally went out of the gate to greet him.

Shi Nai looked at the two nephews and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Zhu, how is your body lately?" Are you sick? ”

Jia Zhu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you cousin for your concern, my nephew's health is not bad these days, and he is much better than before." ”

Jia Zhu's body has indeed recovered a lot now, firstly, the doctor's medical skills back then were very clever and helped him delay his body, and secondly, after Jia Ke came back, he secretly used the internal qi practiced by his own guidance technique to activate his meridians and help him discharge a lot of toxins from his body, so he could survive until now.

And now that Shi Nai looks at him, he will be able to participate in the imperial examination in a while, or go to other places to be an official according to Jia Ke's arrangement.

After Shi Nai asked Jia Zhu, he said to Jia Lian, "How are you?" Still don't like to read? I think if you're like this, it's better to donate an official as soon as possible, and let the eldest brother arrange a position for you. ”

Jia Lian is also a little hesitant now, he has been helping Rongguo Mansion with household chores in the past few years, and he has also made friends with some outside officials. These people are respectful to him on the surface, but in fact, they are all looking at Jia Ke's face. Therefore, he also wanted to talk to Jia Ke during this time and get him a half-official position.

"What my cousin said is that during this time, my eldest brother was a little busy for a while, and when he is free, I will tell him again, so I can get an official." Jia Lian is now different from before, like before the Rongguo Mansion has declined, he has no hope, but now he sees the Rongguo Mansion becoming more and more prosperous. Jia Zhu is not in good health, if he was in good health, he would have already served as a county magistrate in the county near Beijing, so his heart began to itch.

Jia Zhu and Jia Lian took Shi Nai into Rongguo Mansion, did not go to the lobby, but took him directly to Jia's mother's courtyard.

And Jia's mother knew that her nephew was coming, so she sat in the main room early and waited for him to come in.

After Shi Nai entered the main room, he saw Jia's mother giving her a salute first, and then Jia's mother gave him a seat next to him.

And Jia Zhu and Jia Lian did not have seats at this time, they stood on the other side and waited for Jia Mu, waiting for orders at any time.

Jia Mu saw Shi Nai sit still, and then asked, "Why did you come here again a few days ago?" I have something to say. ”

This is exactly what Jia Mu is worried about, these people from the Shi family are now going to the Three Treasures Hall with nothing to do. Although Jia's mother was unhappy, she was still very worried about this nephew, and she was afraid that something would happen in his house.

Shi Nai heard Jia's mother's question, and quickly stood up and replied: "It's not a bad thing for my aunt to rest assured, this time my aunt has always resigned." ”

As soon as Jia Mu heard what he said, she understood what was going on, "Could it be that your official documents have come down?" ”

"This time, thank you for your aunt's mediation, the official document was sent to my house by Brother Zheng yesterday."

Jia Mu smiled when she heard this, it seemed that Jia Ke was still very concerned about her words, and she had already done it for her nephew in a few days.

"Now that you're down, when are you going to go? You can't delay the affairs of the imperial court. Jia Mu said with a smile and a little melancholy.

Shi Nai stood there and arched his hand and said: "This time, the imperial court has asked us to go to the post within a month, we are going to pack up and go to Yangzhou immediately, after all, it is the first time to be an official, and it is always good to go early." ”

"What you said is the truth, after you go, you have to pay attention to the things in the treasury, these officials are used to making a fuss here, if you leave trouble, you may not be able to make up for it." Jia Mu knew that he was an official for the first time, so she kept telling him.

Shi Nai's heart was shocked when he heard this, he had never thought of this. It seems that I have to hire a master, otherwise I will be coaxed by these people and help them count the money.

Seeing Shi Nai's surprised expression, Jia Mu knew that he had remembered it in her heart, so she didn't say anything anymore. After all, this is an unspoken rule in officialdom, just remind him yourself.

Shi Nai's mood calmed down for a while, and then said to Jia's mother again: "Old lady, I went to Yangzhou this time, and I don't know how long it will take to return to the capital." If you take Xiangyun with you, I'm afraid it will delay her good deeds. I thought about putting Xiangyun here with the old lady, and when she was about the same age, the old lady would take care of her and her eldest brother. ”

After hearing his words, Jia's mother felt a little unhappy, Jia's mother still loves Xiangyun very much, and seeing that Shi Nai's arrangement is clearly to treat Xiangyun as a child daughter-in-law and send it to Rongguo Mansion.

But considering Shi Nai's actual situation, he really has to go to work in other places, if he does a good job, he may be re-elected, or even transferred to another place, and then he will be separated from Xiangyun by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it will be more difficult to send Shi Xiangyun back.

So Jia Mu hesitated for a moment and said: "What you said is also a way, since this is the case, then send Xiangyun over, and I will arrange a place for her to live in the garden." When she is old in a few years, I will let her have a round of sex with her eldest brother. ”
