Jia Ke returned directly to his mansion after leaving the Military Aircraft Department, and at this time, there were already countless officials waiting at the gate of the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, all of whom were carrying various gifts. As soon as they saw Jia Ke returning with his own soldiers, they immediately made way for him. As soon as Jia Ke entered the door of the mansion, he immediately ordered someone to close the door.

There has been a lot of traffic in front of the Wuyang Hou Mansion for a long time, and Jia Ke's identity is different now, and countless officials want to lean on his side.

In particular, many of these people who were born in poor families who were local officials and had no backers in Beijing are very discerning, otherwise they would not have gained fame and fame in the cold status and become the parents of one party. Really like those nerds, even if they get famous. It's also hard to be a local official. You must know that Jinshi is not directly appointed as a low-level official, some people first have to report to the ministry to wait for vacancies, if there is no ability in interpersonal relations, and because of the poor background, there is no money to work up and down, I am afraid that this will not be an official for more than ten years.

Jia Ke never met these people in person, but asked the porter to accept their work folds, and then watched them one by one when he had time. If it is something that can be done and does not violate the interests of all parties, the most important thing is that there are no hidden dangers in the future, so it will be done for him. And these successful people will secretly send gifts to the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, but these people are all given gifts in the name of Bing Jing and Carbon, which is also the practice of the imperial court for many years, and every Beijing official has to accept it.

In the past ten days, Jia Ke has received tens of thousands of taels of Bing Jing and carbon tribute, no wonder he saw that those scholars in the past were all very rich.

Let's just say that the two former scholars, on the surface, are honest and honest, and they are both great Confucians, but when Jia Ke received the list of houses sent to him by the infantry commander Yamen, he was so frightened that he almost threw this list on the ground. Not to mention all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, there are two or three million taels of silver alone.

When Jia Ke sent this list to the emperor, the emperor was not shocked as he imagined, but just glanced at it lightly, and let people rush these things into the inner treasury, and did not charge the two of them with corruption.

At that time, Jia Ke still didn't understand it, but after a few days as the foreman of the Minister of Military Aircraft, he understood the mystery. I also understand why the emperor didn't dispose of it? Because the emperor knows that almost all the Beijing officials do this, because they are not like the local officials who can loot the people's wealth under various names, and some of these people's fat and people's ointment must be sent to the capital, otherwise the lords in the capital will be angry, and none of them will be able to escape, so it is not their fault that they accept the filial piety sent by the locality. This is the unspoken rule of the imperial court, and it is the distribution of benefits for officials in the world to loot the people's fat and ointment. Even the emperor didn't dare to stop him, otherwise his throne might not be stable.

After Jia Ke knew the cause and effect, he was at ease with these ice respects. It's just that the gifts of the officials who do the work among them have to be carefully considered.

During this time, Jia Ke was busy with the affairs of the court and couldn't get out. And Jia Zheng was not idle during this time, he was busy for Jia Ke's marriage, and he personally went to do the steps before Jia Ke's marriage. Now it's like Jia Zheng is going to get married. In Jia Zheng's running to Qin Ye's house again and again, as well as the subordinates of the two mansions, everyone in the capital knew that Jia Ke was going to marry Qin Ye's daughter Qin Keqing.

And many unmarried girls envy Qin Keqing's luck, she married Jia Ke when Jia Ke had not yet soared, and now Jia Ke is in the best position, and she has not abandoned the chaff (in everyone's opinion, the daughter of Zhongying Yilang is not worthy of the current Jia Ke at all), and he is indeed a good son with affection and righteousness.

Not to mention that the Rongguo Mansion is busy with Jia Ke's marriage, even Qin Yefu's house is now also busy with Qin Keqing's marriage.

The current Qin Keqing is different from the past, all the relatives of the Qin family came to visit, and the female dependents gathered in Qin Keqing's boudoir, shushing her and asking her for warmth, and doing their best to stammer.

Qin Keqing's maid Ruizhu was very impatient with these people, and said to their young lady several times: "These people used to have no one in their eyes, and their eyes were all on the door of their heads. Now I heard that my uncle was not the best in the court, so I rushed to stammer one by one, and I had to be embarrassed. ”

Qin Keqing seemed to have seen through the sophistication of human feelings, and was not as angry as Ruizhu, but comforted her and said: "No one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains." This is all human nature, so what's the trouble? We will welcome them warmly when they come, and we will not be angry if they don't come. That's the way things are. Besides, it will not be easy for us to meet these people again in the future, after all, they are relatives. ”

Ruizhu didn't fully understand what Qin Keqing meant, but she remembered Qin Keqing's explanation clearly, and never lost her temper in front of these relatives again.

As the marriage kept approaching, the Wuyang Marquis Mansion became more and more busy, and in the main courtyard of Wuwei Hall prepared by Jia Keqing for Qin Keqing, the people of the Qin family had already come a few times. The size of the house was measured, and within a few days there were all kinds of furniture in operation, which were not only made of exquisite materials, but also beautifully made, and each of them could be called a work of art. Jia Ke went to see it in person and felt breathtaking. Not to mention the various furnishings in the room, as well as antique calligraphy and paintings. I'm afraid that even Rongguo Mansion can't make up these things, especially the pulling bed, which is even more ingenious.

The shape of the stepping bed is tall and complex, as if the shelf bed is put on a wooden platform, the four corners of the platform are upright, inlaid with wooden fences, and the tables and stools are placed in it, and people seem to enter a small room after entering, forming a feeling of bed in bed and cover in cover. There are also sleeping bunks, toilet boxes, dressers, cupboards, jewelry boxes, snack boxes, mahjong tables, and all kinds of private drawers in the bed. Using it greatly enhances the comfort and privacy of your sleeping space.

A few days before Jia Ke's wedding, Jia Ke took the wedding leave like the emperor. But then, the emperor's concern for Jia Ke's marriage exceeded an emperor's concern for his ministers.

The emperor could summon Jia Ke several times in one day, ask Qin Keqing about it carefully, and then approve Jia Ke's fifteen-day vacation.

After Jia Ke left, the emperor stood alone in front of the window that filled him and looked out, not knowing what he was thinking.

Dai Quan next to him saw the emperor standing there in a daze, so he had to step forward and say softly: "Long live the hour, isn't it time to eat?" ”

Knowing that the emperor stood there and did not answer him, he suddenly asked, "You said that if a girl from a relative's family is suffering now, should we help him?" ”

When he Dai Quan heard the emperor suddenly ask, his heart turned a few times, when Jia Ke came just now, but he accompanied the emperor the whole time, he naturally guessed, who is this Qin Keqing? also guessed the emperor's thoughts.

So Dai Quan replied to the emperor: "Help should be helped, but after all, it is not necessary to help the poor, and it cannot be excessive." ”

The Emperor nodded tonight and didn't say anything?

In the next few days, something unexpected happened to Jia Ke, and within the next day or two, the items rewarded by the emperor were moved to the Wuyang Marquis Mansion like flowing water. These things are not rare treasures, or the shops in the grange, or the grange is nearly 100,000 acres in Jia Ke, in addition to the shops in various prosperous areas in Beijing, and the income of these shops is nearly seventy or eighty thousand taels per year.

Jia Ke was still a little suspicious at first, but now that he saw the emperor's reward, he had already guessed half of Qin Keqing's life experience. At the same time, I also saw the emperor's concern for Qin Keqing, maybe this is the emperor's compensation for Qin Keqing, the emperor did too much back then, and now I regret it.

But others won't know about Qin Keqing, they all think that the emperor is very kind to Jia Ke, and they are even more shocked by Jia Ke's status in the emperor's heart.

Anyway, Jia Ke has completely put his heart down now, and it seems that the emperor knows Qin Keqing's life experience. But he didn't take any shape, and with such a flowing reward, it seems that Qin Keqing's future is not a good thing.

In the Dream of Red Mansions, perhaps the royal family already knew Qin Keqing's life experience, but they just pretended not to know why, and in the end, Qin Keqing died in Ningguo Mansion for no apparent reason. This is an important reason for the fall of the Jia family.

On the second day of the holiday, Jia Ke went to Qin Mansion under the leadership of Jia Zheng to meet his cheap father-in-law.

When Qin Ye heard that Jia Ke was coming, he immediately opened the middle door and personally greeted him outside the mansion.

Jia Zheng saw that Qin Ye personally came out to greet him, and hurriedly went up to greet Qin Ye: "The first time Xiao'er came to visit, the working father-in-law came to greet him. ”

"My father-in-law doesn't have to see me like this, my son-in-law comes to the door for the first time, what is there when I come out to pick it up?"

Jia Ke hurriedly came over at this time to salute Qin Ye, "Son-in-law Jia Ke has seen his father-in-law. ”

Qin Ye hurried over, helped Jia Ke up, and then looked him up and down, only to see that Jia Ke's appearance was just ordinary, but there was an awe-inspiring momentum. At first glance, he is a high-powered, big-man who speaks his word.

Qin Ye and Jia Zheng, Jia Ke greeted them at the door and entered the living room.

The three of them came to the living room and sat down. Then the little maid brought tea, and the three of them began to talk again.

The three of them talked happily in the hall, but from time to time a maid came to pour tea and water, and Jia Ke finally even saw a beautiful shadow flashing by the door.

Besides, when Qin Keqing heard that Jia Ke was coming, he kept telling the maid to pour tea and water, and then asked Jia Ke about his appearance and character. After the maids came back, they all reported to Qin Keqing: "My uncle is normal, and his skin is darker. "If Qin Keqing asked them again, they would start to hesitate, thinking that they were not very satisfied with Jia Ke's appearance.

Qin Keqing looked at their appearance, and understood their thoughts in his heart, although Qin Keqing didn't care about Jia Ke's appearance, after all, he wanted to see Jia Ke's appearance. So he took the little maid secretly to the door and looked inside.
