In the process of the imperial history office in Zhenjiang, basically the same as Tongzhou, there was no major incident, and it was still a matter of hanging criminal files, checking and checking money and grain, inspecting customs and customs, and the style of officials, etc., which were almost lackluster, and would not be repeated.

Going west into Jinling, in a blink of an eye, the autumn of the sixteenth year of Yongle also arrived, and it was really easy to pass the leisure time.

After experiencing family struggles and the sixth-floor examination of the county government and township hall, Jia Cong of the Hanlin Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate has gone out to practice so far, not only getting older, but also becoming more mature and steady, with the style of youth and old age, and gradually opening his horizons, seeing more, and doing things more proficiently.

After completing the imperial examination to become the court, he is running on the route of officialdom promotion.

On the journey from Zhenjiang to Jinling, Jia Cong received letters from the newspaper, his family and all parties.

The newspaper uploaded, behind the majority of rare words and quoted scriptures, Jia Cong saw that Liu Zhiyuan, Jia Siwen, and Yan Ming were fighting inextricably, and Liu Zhiyuan's recital was invisible, submitted by Jinyiwei, and the emperor was not public, but from the two Huai to the salt envoys, the salt patrol imperial history pen, it is enough to guess one or two.

Jia Yun, who temporarily led the river to Tongzhi, said three things, the first is that the work is going on step by step, the second is that Zhong Yin's martial character is good, and he hopes that Jia Cong will be accepted as a housekeeper, and the third is the newcomer Wang Ren, who has a lot of appetite and interferes with his work.

Jia Cong hastily deprived Gu Tongzhi of political power for three months, it stands to reason that this matter is very big, enough for the feudal platform and Zhentai to report him, saying that he interfered with his personal cronies, but Jia Cong's eight sparse river control passed, and Jiangsu did not dare to act rashly, and the emperor was relying on Jia Cong, isn't this hitting the muzzle of the gun? The wind is not in their direction at this time!

Let Jia Yun manage, not because Jia Yun has a strong work ability, but because of his good moral character, which can ensure that the river is governed more smoothly, as for that Wang Ren, he was dizzy for a while, and he can also close the net......

In addition, Wang Yinglin's letter from them, saying something about the direction of the wind, the rest is the family, the marriage of Yingchun Tanchun has been mentioned many times, Jia Cong only replied, let him go back and discuss again.

Jia Zhengxuan is the son of a guard who guards the country of Qianxiang, it is a political marriage, and it is said that he has had a little interaction with the Jia family, but he is not only far away from the ocean, and Tanchun is afraid that he has never heard of it.

Jia Yu didn't mention Sun Shaozu, but in his words, it seemed very hasty, nothing more than words like "men should get married, women should get married".

In the cabin, Guan Chaosheng took advantage of Miaoyu's inattention and moved Baochai's letter aside.

Miaoyu realized, "Whose is that?" Let me see. ”

When she saw the self-proclaimed "Lu Wujun" on the cover, she hurriedly threw it away, she was embarrassed to read the letter of Baochai Daiyu and Miaoyu on an equal footing, and Jia Cong's wife.

"Do you want to see it?" Jia Cong smiled and took it.

Miaoyu smiled and didn't speak, she couldn't be jealous of this, but was a little shameless, but if Jia Cong messed with other women, such as entering the Fireworks Chu Pavilion, she felt a little uncomfortable, "I am friends with her, not a secret letter to me, how can I read it." ”

Jia Cong looked at Miaoyu with admiration for a long time, and then he found that he liked Miaoyu's personality, at first her temperament was difficult to get along with, and I don't know when this change began.

Watching her slowly transform and retain like this, maybe it's also a pleasure? Isn't it good to roll in the vulgar desire for a long time, and occasionally have an elegant exchange with her outside the object?

Life is brilliant and colorful, but also complicated and cumbersome, and Jia Cong's luck is that he has these different women, each of which is irreproducible.

Baochai's letters are written in a brilliant and dignified manner, and even the narration of thoughts is also expressed euphemistically by quoting scriptures, and Jia Cong can't help but sigh after reading it.

When he arrived in Jinling, as usual, a group of officials came to greet him at the official pavilion, Jia Cong was more tired, and he did not participate in the banquet, let alone go to the line, and finished this form perfunctorily, and went straight to the Jia family's house in Stone Town.

Jia Cong's casual and unintentional actions made the prefect of Ying Tianfu and others uneasy for a night, did they want to find their fault? Or aren't enough gifts?

……

Jinling Stone City is built during the period of Sun Quan of Wu State, by virtue of the Yangtze River natural insurance, close to Qingliang Mountain, there is the ancient house of the Jia family in it now, but the people in and out are scarce, and the scale is several grades smaller than the two princes of the capital, but it also belongs to the mansion of the Wang family in Jinling.

Jia Cong is very unfamiliar with these houses, although it is the second time he has been to Jinling, but it is the first time he has come here, what he is thinking about at this time is not what is going on in his hometown, but what is going on in the Qin family?

The Qin family is also the ancestral home of Jinling, the fallen leaves return to the roots, the master is dead, and they must return to their ancestral hometown for burial, according to Qin Zhong's letter, they are in Jinling Changgan.

The tall bust of Jinling City, second only to Yanjing, with a circumference of 25 kilometers, and a beacon tower on the city wall, Matteo Ricci, who came to China in the late Ming Dynasty, said in his diary that "it is comparable to the metropolis of any prosperous stage in Europe, and it is the leader of the Oriental cities."

The concierge returned to the manager of the house, Jia Cong went in to live in the wing room of the west courtyard, and still asked Sun Fu to find the collection of Shi Wen, and reviewed the Shi Wen This kind of book is a good thing, Jia Cong is very willing to do it, and after the approval is completed the next day, he signed it and asked someone to take it to the bookstore to sell.

The long-distance trip is not fun, Miaoyu is also very tired, Jia Cong asked her to rest, and finally the mandarin duck came in, not seen for a few months, more and more tall and skillful, and said with a smile: "If you have any instructions, just tell me." ”

The Jia family is looking at the house in Jinling, it is the Mandarin Duck's parents Jin Cai and his wife, and now their old couple are each sick and dying, so it is naturally the turn of the Mandarin Duck to take care of it, Jia Cong has to condole: "When your parents were buried, the capital was far away, and no one asked." Since you are the housekeeper here, it is okay to take more money and repair it, after all, your Jin family is a family slave for several generations. ”

After speaking, Jia Cong squinted his eyes in a sleepy manner and leaned back in his chair.

The mandarin duck nodded, and said in his heart: "Master Cong is really tired, and he broke his heart......"

In fact, Jia Cong is looking at her with pleasure, among the girls, the mandarin duck is also superior, otherwise Jia Yu, who has read countless women, would not have taken a fancy to her.

……

After reading the letter handed over by Jaswen, the prince of Zhongshun, Ling Juechu turned left and right in the study anxiously: "Liu Zhiyuan is messing around, Huaiyang has become a mess, this king has to move them...... Samja Cong......"

Gao Wenqi said: "What the prince said is that Gonggong Liu can't participate, and if he goes to Jia Cong to give advice, Liu Zhiyuan won't be able to touch the prince's treasury." ”

When the vassal king does not seal the vassal country, learn the lessons of the Ming Dynasty. It can't be squandered and ravaged in the territory, but every year the princes' silver is still allocated from the treasury, but it is not more than one million.

The prince of the Ming Dynasty spent millions of silver at every turn, and it took eight million to raise these clans in the later period.

And the prince of Dashun, the emperor and the Zongren Mansion are more strictly controlled, but as soon as he intervenes in the government, Ling Jiechu arranged his own small treasury, and now the small treasury is in danger, of course, it is very unhappy.
