Jia Ke originally said it casually, but she didn't expect Aunt Zhou to take this as a big deal and keep asking.

The real reason is that Jia Ke is not good to talk to her. Because Jia Ke himself is the eldest son, if he said that he couldn't have the eldest son, he didn't let them get pregnant. At that time, Aunt Zhou didn't know how sad she was, because at that time, Aunt Zhou risked her life in order to give birth to Jia Ke. even offended Mrs. Wang because of this, and used up all her affection in front of Jia's mother, it can be said that she has nothing since she gave birth to Jia Ke.

So Jia Ke said tactfully, "I am in Xuanfu Town, and I am busy with official business every day. How can I have time to pay attention to these things, and besides, they are concubines, that is, in the past few months, I don't think there has been any movement. Then he said to Aunt Zhou as if he was joking: "If it is only in such a short time, they will all have it, I dare to recognize them, but do you dare to ask for them?" ”

Aunt Zhou also felt this truth when she heard this, she didn't say that she was pregnant in such a short time, and just like Jia Ke said, he was busy with official business, and he was so tired every day, and it would take a while for Qiaolian to get pregnant. Besides, there are three people in the house, that is, one person is in one day, and Qiaolian is only in three days. There is no reason to get pregnant so quickly.

"Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense, how can anyone joke about the innocence of their concubines, if outsiders listen to it, they will die if they don't die." Then he seemed to remember the hardships of being a concubine over the years, and began to tell Jia Ke again: "You can't talk nonsense in the future, you don't know the pain of being a concubine, but I understand your aunt in my heart." For the sake of them serving you, it will be a little filial piety to me to love them more in the future. ”

Jia Ke saw the sadness of congratulating Aunt Zhou, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Auntie, look, there are eggplants today, and the eggplants in our house are different from others, even if they are made in the palace, they can't surpass it." Hurry up and try it. ”

Aunt Zhou just sat at the dinner table and picked up chopsticks, wanting to taste the eggplant that Jia Ke said in her mouth, but she didn't find anything like eggplant after looking for a long time, so she scolded Jia Ke with a smile and said, "Clean nonsense, where is there eggplant." I looked around the table, but I didn't see the eggplant. ”

Jia Ke smiled and added some eggplant (pronounced xiǎng) to the plate in front of the plate, Aunt Zhou took some chopsticks and put them in her mouth, and then said with a smile: "It does have some eggplant flavor, but I don't believe it when I want to say that it is eggplant, I was also born in a farmer's family when I was a child." What kind of eggplant has not tasted. If eggplant could have tasted like this, we wouldn't have grown food at that time, and we would have changed to eggplant. ”

"Auntie, this is indeed made of eggplant, but to make this eggplant dish, I'm afraid it will take more than a dozen chickens to match it, and it will also add dried chicken and mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, spiced tofu seeds, and all kinds of dried fruits." Although Jia Ke had a smile on his face, he felt a little too much about such a luxury in his heart, no wonder the bag in Jia's mansion was getting empty day by day, just like this, there were no dozens of taels of silver for this table of dishes, and you couldn't afford it.

"Is this still an eggplant? I'm afraid there is more chicken than eggplant in it, but it's just a name. Aunt Zhou sighed, suddenly seemed to think of something again, and then waited for Jia Ke to say: "If you go over there in the future, you can't be so extravagant, otherwise you will be defeated even if you have gold and silver." ”

Jia Ke listened to Aunt Zhou's words, hurriedly agreed, and swore to run the family with frugality in logistics, and never be so extravagant and wasteful, so Aunt Zhou let him go. However, Jia Ke agrees with Aunt Zhou's opinion very much, such a luxury is extremely rich in material resources in modern times, and it is nothing, but in ancient times, it was too extravagant. But if you want to come to Jiafu for such a luxury, it comes from when the old prince is here. At that time, Jiafu was famous, and as long as it didn't rebel, it wasn't a big deal. But this habit has been passed down so much that I can't change it now. You must know that it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to enter simplicity from luxury.

A table of dishes, the mother and son only moved a few bites to eat enough, and then Xia Mai appeared, these dishes just moved slightly. Naturally, it can't be returned to the kitchen as it is.

These leftovers are the benefits of the little maids below, you must know that the rice that these little maids usually eat is a bowl of rice and a little vegetable. When you can eat the meat, it is the master's reward, or the master can't finish it at this time, and the rest is their maids.

At this time, Xia Mai was like a big general, commanding the little maids to bring these dishes out in the same way, and put them on the table they had prepared a long time ago, and then instructed the little maids to clean up the tables, chairs and benches in the living room, and then retreated with the people.

Then Xia Mai came to the table they had prepared, commanded a few little maids, took out the bowls they had prepared, took out most of the dishes on the plate, and put them aside. For the rest of the dishes, Xia Mai and a few little maids feasted to their heart's content.

They divided these dishes and sent them home, these things they had never seen in their lives, and since they had this opportunity, they naturally had to send some home. This is also a hidden benefit for these maids, but in the past, they did not have such treatment. Those who have these treatments are all the maids in Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother's room. However, Mother Jia and the big maid next to Mrs. Wang disdained to do this, and in the end, the rest of the dishes between Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were divided by the little maids in their room.

After eating, Aunt Zhou chatted with Jia Ke for a while, mainly asking Qiaolian when they would be able to come back, and whether the day of Jia Ke's marriage was set? Jia Ke answered everything he knew one by one, mainly saying that Qiaolian and the others were afraid that it would take a month before they could get home. As for the matter of getting married, it naturally depends on Jia Zheng's intentions.

The two chatted until late, and Aunt Zhou saw that Jia Ke kept dozing there, so she let him go, and then the mother and son rested separately.

The next day, Jia Ke got up early, ate the breakfast prepared in the kitchen, and went to the military aircraft in the palace to start the first day of work.

Jia Ke entered the palace with his waist card, unimpeded, and when he arrived at the military plane, he found that Pan Yong had been here for a while, lying on the table watching the performance, and there were a few little eunuchs waiting next to him.

As soon as Pan Yongyi saw Jia Ke coming, he hurriedly beckoned to him, "Master Jia, hurry up and take a look at the few copies sent today, I think something is unusual." Let's read and draw up a plan, and then we can send it to the emperor. ”

Jia Ke walked over, took a copy of the recital from the table, and unfolded it to look at it carefully, it turned out that this was a recital for several university scholars to intercede, all of which were jointly signed by some students.

Jia Ke even read a few copies, probably the same meaning, all of them are college students' pleas for mercy, the more Jia Ke looks at it, the tighter his brows are wrinkled, these expressions of intercession are only too students, not a single official, I'm afraid that someone is in tandem in the back, and then launch these students to interview in front.

Pan Yong frowned when he saw Jia Ke, his face was gloomy, and he said with some annoyance: "What do these people want to do? Do you still want to turn the tables for the prince? ”

"I'm afraid this has nothing to do with the prince, it's just that the two scholars have been in the study for a long time, and the protégés and former officials are all over the world, and there must be someone in tandem among them, who want to rescue the two scholars, and with the prestige of the scholars, there may be a possibility of resurrection." Jia Ke made his own judgment on Pan Yong.

Pan Yong is different from the other two scholars, the other two scholars are both great Confucians, and they have many disciples. And Pan Yong was able to become a university scholar only because of the emperor's favor, and the students with a little future disdained to be with him, so he did not consider this aspect, and now when he heard Jia Ke's words, he immediately realized.

Pan Yong then thought about it again and said: "In this case, let's be like a countermeasure, and then play it for the emperor together." ”

Jia Ke has a headache about this matter, after all, each of these college students has some relationship, so many people gather together, if one of them is not handled properly, it will cause a big disaster.

"Master Pan, on the surface, this matter seems to be just a student pleading for two scholars, but in fact, there must be many courtiers behind it. Let's write a way to deal with it. In the end, the one who offended was gone. ”

Pan Yong sat there and thought about it, sure enough, this is the truth, now his power is not very large, if there is a conflict with them, and these people are concerned, he may not be able to get out.

"What does Naja-sama mean? We have to approve this excerpt, otherwise we won't be able to explain it when the emperor asks. ”

Jia Ke also knew that what Pan Yong said made sense, after all, they were the Minister of Military Aircraft, if they had no opinion and sent it directly to the emperor, what else would they do?

"Master Pan, do you think this will work, let's not write the method of disposal, let the emperor decide for himself, let's just tell the emperor about the guess, what do you think?" Jia Ke thought about it, but he could only say the guess, and then let the emperor solve this hot potato by himself.

"That's it, let's just write down all the speculations just now on the itinerary and play them to the emperor." Pan Yong squinted his eyes and said.

Jia Ke understood what he meant in an instant, and he had insight into the ruthlessness of these old people in the court, if they pressed down this recital, or wrote a few words lightly to send to the emperor, in the end, the emperor would at most put the words "know" on the recital. After all, this is just a joint performance of the students, and those students did not come to the court to make trouble, in the emperor's opinion, it can be turned into a big thing, and a small thing can be turned into a small thing.

But if their analysis had been written down in the process, the emperor would have been furious, and at the same time alarmed by the power of the two scholars. Then where do these two scholars still have physiology?

However, Jia Ke thought about it, this matter did not hurt him, and there was no need to turn his face with Pan Yong, who had just become a colleague, for their sake.

Besides, after disposing of these two scholars, their power will fall apart, and then it will be the time to win the hearts of the people and control these courtiers.

So he nodded and said to Pan Yong: "Lord Pan, I have been helping the emperor deal with government affairs before, so please leave this matter to my lord, my lord wrote the order, and I signed it after reading it." ”
