Chapter 28: A Pilgrimage to the Nine Heavens

The woman's winding path leads to the secluded place, and the ancients said: the door of birth and death.

Women are also divided into types, women like Wang Xifeng are strong and rigid, even if they do something wrong, it is difficult to admit their mistakes, she never thinks that she is wrong, she is sour, strong, and unforgiving.

Ordinary men can't control this kind of woman, this kind of woman, in feudal society, if they don't know how to restrain themselves for a long time and manage their husbands too strictly, then not many feudal men can stand it, and the result will inevitably fall apart, and they will fly separately when disaster comes.

If in modern society, people like Wang Xifeng are strong women and may live a better life. The agency is too clever to calculate Qingqing's life, smart, it is good, but it is only used to enrich one's own pocket, and the most undesirable thing is to do evil, oppress the weak, and hurt the innocent.

"Wang Xifeng relied on the power to get married", she forcibly arranged Caixia to marry Zhou Rui's son, Zhou Rui's son gambled, drank, and didn't study well, Caixia's family was unwilling, but Wang Xifeng dismantled the son of the garrison and Zhang Jinge and a pair of mandarin ducks for the sake of her own so-called face, and then overbearingly promoted Caixia's family's unwanted family affairs.

Caixia, what an honest and careful girl, because of Wang Xifeng's words, she ruined the happiness of her life.

After the little brother-in-law Jia Cong made trouble, he lost the power of the housekeeper, was disgraced, and had to endure how many jokes of people, concubines, sisters-in-law, girls, and cousins in vain, although those jokes were private, but she wanted to get what they said, and these discussions were even more unbearable for her, and the hatred and poison for Jia Cong were always pressed in the bottom of her heart.

originally thought that he was just a big child, his biological mother was humble, and he was like Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, who could ravage at will, but he was suddenly as smart as a prodigy, read through the four books, could do eight shares, and his scheming was no less than her, and now the eldest lord and eldest lady have a better attitude towards him than towards themselves, after all, if Jia Cong succeeds, his mother's eldest wife will also have a bright face, and her husband and son will be meritorious. Prodigy, there are not many such things, but it is not uncommon, the Chengri family has all kinds of noble family entertainment, she has also heard that there are hundreds of thousands of people in the national scientific examination, how many prodigies are there? She didn't believe that Jia Cong could pass five levels and kill six generals, and she wanted to take the county exam next year, thinking too high of herself!

But now she has no choice, the fault lies with her, all the subordinates know her vicious and greedy nature, this kind of family matter, Wang Ziteng can't help. What's more, the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing, the tree is falling and scattered, and her reputation as a wife is getting worse and worse, what is the reason? Jia Lian is in his twenties and has no heirs! There is no concubine (Ping'er is just a room, no concubine status)! Isn't she jealous? In a feudal aristocratic family, if a man has no concubines, others will say that the main house is jealous and has a bad reputation!

Every time I think of this, Wang Xifeng hates my brother-in-law so much that the roots of his teeth itch! I can't wait to be like Nie Xiaoqian's grandmother, take out his heart and eat it in one bite!

No one has ever forced her to this point, but fortunately, the old lady still likes her gags and enlivens the atmosphere, "On How to Please the Old Man", she can probably be used as an argumentative figure, as long as the old lady is there, she has a chance to make a comeback.

After eating in the morning, Jia Lian wanted to go to ask for peace, but Wang Xifeng couldn't get sick, so Jia Lian went by himself, and met Jia Cong when he went to Jia Amnesty's house.

Jia Cong was talking back to his parents and wanted to go to Liu Dongsheng's mansion to meet him, Mrs. Jia Xing readily agreed, Jia Lian was surprised: "It seems that Brother Cong has made progress in his studies, otherwise how could Liu Yushi meet him." ”

Thinking about it this way, the original unhappiness of losing the power of housekeeping because of his beloved wife was not easy to cause, and from the overall situation of the family, he could distinguish which was more important.

Jia Cong knew that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng would not last long, Wang Xifeng could no longer threaten him, and he and Jia Lian had nothing to say, but there was one thing, he began to plan, that is, to make money, the relationship with his subordinates is important, but without the drive of interests, it is impossible to do things, money can make ghosts grind, and it is difficult to talk about without money.

Of course, if Senior Sister Qin's trouble is solved first, it will not be too late to make money.

In the past few days, Wang Xifeng's menstrual period has come, women are in trouble, there are so many days every month, sometimes it is not fixed, so that the second master Lian has nowhere to vent his anger, after Jia Yu Gaole went, Jia Lian and Jia Yu girl eyebrows flirted, and openly rubbed her little hands in the hall: "Qiu Tong, the second master wants to kill you." ”

"Oh, it's shameless, you generally have a wife and girl, what are you looking for us to do?" Qiu Tong wanted to refuse and welcome, her mouth was displeased, but her heart was full of joy, the old man was immortal, and if she didn't give her strength, wouldn't it be a waste of her youth!

"Alas......" Jia Lian taught earnestly, pinched her buttocks, and sniffed intoxicated when she got her nostrils: "My wife is someone else's good, and the article is my own wonder, haven't you heard of it?" ”

Jia Lian is telling men about the psychology of "wives are not as good as concubines, and concubines are not as good as stealing".

"Phew! What should I do if the lord knows? ”

"In a few years, I will beg you to the eldest master, concubine, it's nothing for Lao Tzu to send his son."

He didn't have the courage to have sex here, and came back with regret, without the moisture of his wife Wang Xifeng, the second master of Lian was depressed, looking at the little girl Zhao'er's good appearance and good skin, so he ordered him to take off his pants, and in the side room for three hundred rounds, Zhao'er raised his buttocks and turned back: "Second master, the money is gambling again." ”

"Don't worry, you're indispensable." Jia Lian opened and closed: "I don't love you for anything else, I love your white ass......"

Second Master Lian said: Wang Xifeng won't let me play women, can't I play men?

……

If it is money for eating, drinking, living, traveling, and apprenticeship, Jia Yu provides enough, but Jia Cong is not a person who is content with the status quo, eight shares, scientific research, is just a tool for him to gain power, when the love of Chinese culture is transformed into a tool, that little interest, it is not enough, he always has to do things during the period, do something that should be done, want to do, and can do, especially in this kind of family, he has a source of wealth, and how many constraints are saved.

One of the four major satirical novels of the late Qing Dynasty, "The Appearance of Officialdom", begins with the words: The imperial examination can be an official, can make a fortune, and can sit in the court and beat people.

There is a golden house in the book, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a thousand bells in the book, the ancients have already seen it clearly, and the purpose of reading is to make money, beauty, and food.

Kang Youwei's "Theory of Material Salvation" summed up the things that we Chinese valued most for thousands of years: housing, clothing, and eating. It is still applicable to this day.

Family affection and other things, Jia Cong doesn't expect it, his biological mother is no longer alive, and he doesn't feel tired of living like this, probably the family background in his previous life is similar to this, although he was born in the countryside, his grandparents came from the Republic of China, and his father and sister have seven or eight people, for an acre and three points of land, a road on the dividing line, and a few trees in the mountains and forests, uncles and uncles can not recognize their relatives and fight, so in this regard, he does not pray, he has long been accustomed to it, people's hearts and human nature cannot stand the test, beautiful as Sister Lin, Sister Bao, if they are down, Ask them to marry a commoner, they are unwilling and will not.

Most people's lives are like purgatory, and they are lonely.

Of course, he believes that there is warmth in the world, but where there is sunshine, there is darkness, and man is a polyhedron, and the person he sees, but one or several sides of him, feelings, and things in the world are nothing more than that.

……

Xinglong Street, Liu's Mansion, the material level of Yongle was not bad, and the medium-sized families of Jiafu were also extravagant, and the homes of Qin Ye and Liu Dongsheng all claimed to be mansions and hung plaques. Beijing officials with background backgrounds, their homes are all official, provided by the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Water Resources, first build themselves, and then build others.

Sun Fu got off the horse first, wanting to tie the two horses to the poplar tree on the side of the road, and the gatekeeper of Liu's mansion came out and said, "Go, go!" What do you do? ”

Jia Cong glanced at Sun Fu, took out Liu Dongsheng's personal jade pendant, Sun Fu saw the situation and handed over two taels and nine cents of broken silver, the porter wanted to charge a few more points, but when he saw his own master's jade pendant, he had to give up, showed a smile, and asked them to lead the horses to the stable in the front yard, Sun Fu slandered: "Hehe, I just don't give you three taels, disgusting to death." ”

His master naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and the porter informed them to leave them to the study for tea, and Liu Dongsheng came over after a while.

The place where the ancients picked up guests was exquisite, from low to high according to the degree of closeness, generally: living room, study, flower hall.

Liu Dongsheng first asked him how his studies were, and after a while, Liu Dongsheng said: "Wanping County Ling Fan Lin has some friendship with me, if Zili is the county test and is deposed, I will investigate, if it is not passed, I will never show favoritism." ”

When he spoke, the scar on his face was really a little crazy, and it is estimated that the above is to see him, thinking that there is no majesty, so he has not been promoted for a long time, of course, the main thing is that it doesn't matter, maybe it is not enough to give gifts from the Ministry of Literature and Literature. Liu Dongsheng's temperament is similar to Qin Ye, but there is a difference, listening to his conversation, this person pays more attention to political achievements, while Qin Ye is relatively clear, Liu Dongsheng is a person like him, suitable for being a royal history, the above is not wrong.

Jia Cong replied "yes", and when he estimated that it was almost over, he naturally took out the file of Jia Zhen's crimes, one by one, one by one, clearly.

Liu Dongsheng looked at it and said strangely: "Zili, this Jia Zhen is your cousin, why don't you care about ......?"

"Mr. Xiangxin, I don't hide it, I don't hide it from the public, I don't want the younger generations to hide it, my brother is doing this, he is ignoring the younger generation's family, this is private. These illegal things of my brother are ashamed of the ancestors and the ancestors, and the grain of the Emperor of Heaven, this is the public. Jia Cong spoke clearly, and his tone was neither high nor low: "Moreover, my brother covets his daughter-in-law, so the Qin family is the daughter of the younger teacher......"

"Brute!" Liu Dongsheng was furious, and the scars on his face were distorted, looking even uglier: "If Liu Xiangxin had known that Jia Zhen was so shameless!" How could it be until today! ”

Jia Cong was overjoyed, listening to Qin Ye's words, looking at Liu Dongsheng's behavior, he expected that Liu Dongsheng must be a jealous and hateful person, although Liu Dongsheng was harsh in some aspects, but he was a good official, he was a little sure when he came, but there were too many things involved in officialdom, whether Liu Dongsheng would take risks, he didn't know, but as long as there was hope, he would do it.

Nothing can be 100% successful, for Jia Cong, hope is enough.

Jia Cong said: "What the younger generation has no choice but to do is that my brother covets the Qin family and can't sue the official at all, how can I come up with the credentials?" Second, if you take out the credentials, the Qin family's chastity will be damaged, and what face will there be in the world? Third, what face do the juniors have to meet the teacher? Isn't it worthy of the grace of teacher education? ”

Standing up suddenly, Jia Cong made a long gesture: "Mr. Xiangxin, you are always the imperial history of Xicheng, the official of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Procuratorate, and one of the three legal divisions of the imperial court. Before taking office in Gyeonggi Province, Mr. Xiangxin had the right to review the honorable officials of Xicheng, so the juniors can only come to beg you, and the juniors have no intention of teasing, and they really don't want the teacher to be sad and the family to be ashamed. ”

"You can't tease me, but you're smart, and it's right to beg me." Liu Dongsheng didn't agree, and muttered: "You go back first, I have my own measure in this matter." ”

Jia Cong quit the study, and suddenly, Liu Dongsheng came out again to stop, observed him carefully, and patted him on the shoulder: "Zili, I heard Qin Langzhong say that you want to go to Yongding River with him?" Studying can't be wasted, it's right to travel thousands of miles, I, Liu Dongsheng, have been stumbling for half my life, as a few, even if you are not a clear stream in the future, if you are an official, even if you are not a good official, you must be for the people, even if it is a reward for me today, can you agree? ”

"The younger generation obeys the teachings."

"Okay, let's go."

The power of the four major families has been deep-rooted for many years, and they have married each other, they are not only four families, like Wang Ziteng, there are many protégés, Jia Zheng is too, Jia Yucun is recommended by Jia Zheng to Wang Ziteng, and Jia Zheng will have protégés such as Fu Xian and Lai Shangrong in the future.

The relationship network of officialdom, rarely one person, a few families, or something, often affects the whole body, which is very scary.

Do you want to move the capital? Impeachment or not?

Liu Dongsheng has long passed the age when he rushed to the age of the game, that kind of person, generally the young imperial history, and there are also people who are jealous and hateful, they don't have to care about the future, they would rather die.

Some people in ancient times were like this, reputation was more important than life, in exchange for a death to leave a name in history, they were willing, and they couldn't support it, they caught the emperor's mistakes, and sprayed that hard.

There was an official in the Ming Dynasty who suffered from the court staff, and he was proud of it, and he dried a piece of butt meat from the brocade guard, dried it, and hung it on his door, looking forward to a hundred generations......

Emperor Jiajing was sprayed by Hai Rui, Hai Rui's reputation was shocked, and Emperor Wanli was sprayed with "wine-colored wealth", and he had no temper at all.

But Liu Dongsheng is not, he is not young, he thinks a lot, he thinks, how to write, the opponent will not retaliate against him, if, he plays a fold, Jia Zhen loses the title, it is good for his reputation, the key is the temperament of Emperor Yongle, he knows one thing, His Majesty the emperor is violent, violent, and has all the human and material evidence, and there is still a grasp.

There is another level, is the celebrant Dai Quan, in fact, Dai Quan, a eunuch has no man's ability, so he pervertedly grabs power and money, the more the courtiers look down, the more they intensify, they have to override the outer court, like gifts, Jia Zhen is just one of them, the relationship is good, not to talk about it at all, as long as it does not involve Dai Quan itself, the cabinet vote is drafted, and the celebrant will approve and submit it.

Dashun's imperial history official has great power, even if it is a city patrol imperial history, a seven-grade minor official, he also has the right to participate in the news. On the contrary, if it is impeached indiscriminately without verification, the crime of speaking and speaking will be increased by one degree, so Liu Dongsheng instructed the people of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division to verify that most of Jia Zhen's circumstances were true, and then he made up his mind. In the past, he had the name of "loyalty and integrity" in front of his colleagues and the emperor, and the land annexation of Ningfu could be related to His Majesty's new policy......

After considering all aspects, Liu Dongsheng quoted the classics, re-opened Zhu Xi's collection of commentaries, the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Holy Ancestor's "Sacred Oracles and Extensive Teachings", and wrote a memora with great literary brilliance, and he was greatly satisfied, and said that Jia Zhen was a heinous person who despised the king's law, failed the grace of heaven, bullied others, robbed the people's daughters, and abused tenants, and did not carry a single dirty word.

Liu Dongsheng's first concern must be his own reputation, Yang Qinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, is the master he will try, and Yang Qinghe will come forward, whether it is good or not, but he has never been reused, so he did so, Yang Qinghe thought that he was timid and afraid of things, so he dismissed this plan, as for selling Jia Cong's favors, that is the ultimate reason, Jia Cong is not yet up to the extent that he sells favors, but there are multiple possibilities for future relationships, better than nothing.

He first informed the prince, and after discussion, he saw that there was no non-compliance with the system, and submitted it to the cabinet, and the cabinet subordinate, the first assistant, and the cabinet ministers read it carefully, plus the vote, how much thought was buried in the belly, and it was transferred to the celebrant supervisor, and the celebrant approved the red pass, and then presented it to the Yongle Emperor.

Liu Dongsheng was waiting, Jia Zhen was busy, and when she heard the news of being involved, she was restless.

Jia Cong didn't wait, he was still doing another thing, his methods were more than that.
