Chapter 171: Evil Words
Early the next morning.
Baoyu, who hasn't come to Mozhu Academy to study for a long time, reappeared today.
Obviously, Jia Zheng had a deep heart-to-heart relationship with his son last night......
Yesterday in Mengpo Zhai, Jia Zheng did not directly agree to resign immediately.
First, Jia Zheng's official position was obtained from Jia Daishan's deathbed when he was in Rongguo.
Easy resignation is an obstacle to filial piety.
Second, in this world, being an official is the general trend in the hearts of men all over the world.
The so-called big husband can't be without power for a day.
Moreover, as far as orthodoxy is concerned, if a man from a family like the Jia family does not become an official, he will be the same as the prodigal son of the future who refuses to work......
For such a big event, it is naturally impossible to make up your mind just because Jia Cong said a few words.
Of course, Jia Cong didn't expect him to coax Jia Zheng to lose his official position with a single word, that was too mysterious......
But judging from Jia Zheng's sudden re-education of Baoyu, yesterday's words are obviously not completely useless.
If there is a valid reason, there is no need to go to the official office every day to order and do some trivial and boring little things, Jia Zheng is not unmoved.
"Eh, pull my hand again and I'll lift the brick!"
As soon as Baoyu came to the door today, he took Jia Cong's hand and walked out, Jia Cong really responded in his heart, and warned with a half-naughty smile and half seriousness after breaking free.
Behind him, Jia Huan looked left and right, as if he was looking for bricks......
Baoyu laughed angrily: "Who is happy to pull you in general, but I have been entrusted by someone, please go out and see you." Why, do you go to see it or not? ”
said, and opened his hands, as if Jia Cong didn't agree to him and wanted to hold hands again.
Jia Cong couldn't cry or laugh, raised his hand and surrendered: "I'm afraid of you, you put your hand down quickly, I'll go to see you." ”
After Baoyu glared angrily, the two went out.
Jia Huan and Jia Lan's two little tails kept up far away, Jia Lan didn't dare to come, but Jia Huan was forced by obscene coercion and had to follow......
As soon as everyone went out, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
I saw a woman in her forties dressed in the clothes of a third-class servant in the house, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy kneeling in front of the door.
Seeing Jia Cong come out, the mother-in-law immediately kowtowed and said: "The slave and maid took the son of a sin to ask the third master for peace, and to make amends for the third master!" ”
The little maid next to the mother-in-law also had a pale little face and kowtowed.
Although Jia Cong didn't recognize the mother-in-law, she recognized the young man beside her.
It's not a cigarette, but which one?
Jia Cong didn't speak to them, but smiled at Baoyu and said, "Are you here to command my army?" Your little girl, kowtowing to me, do you want me to be taken away by the old lady again? ”
Baoyu swore anxiously: "If there is no more thing, if I have this heart, I will not be good......"
"Okay, okay, you can try to trick people."
Jia Cong interrupted Baoyu's gambling curse angrily, he didn't care, but it could reach the ears of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, but it was troublesome.
Jia Cong said to him: "This is so good, why are you here to make trouble?" You're still messing around. You don't think that I took care of your grandma, do you? ”
Baoyu was actually not sure in his heart, and he always felt strange, but he never liked to think about this, so he smiled and said, "How can it?" But Mingyan thought, whoever offends you will inevitably suffer from plague afterwards, he regretted it after the complaint was filed before, and he didn't dare to close his eyes for the past two days, I don't believe you look at his eyes......"
"Why didn't he dare close his eyes?"
Jia Congqi said.
Baoyu laughed and said: "He said that as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw that you asked the Jinyi army to go to his house to raid his house and take people, and he was arrested and tortured in the edict prison." ”
Jia Cong was speechless and said: "Is his brain broken, who opened it when the Zhenfu Division?" I let you take people, and my head doesn't fall to the ground before his head? ”
That's true.
If it weren't for the last time when Emperor Chongkang made this case a royal case, even if Han Tao grew ten more heads, he would not dare to use this case as a favor and befriend Jia Cong.
Although he did not break a single unjust case, it involved the founding of the country, and it was by no means something that he dared to touch as a four-grade suppression envoy.
In order to cleanse the huge traces left by King Wu, Emperor Chongkang spent twelve years, but he had not yet achieved decisive results.
Especially in the army, he had to use the energy of the founding nobles in the army to rub off the mark left by King Wu little by little.
In the lineage of the founding lords, only the second prince of Rongguofu was produced, and in the military power of the Zhenyuan Dynasty, he could barely be compared with the line of King Wu.
should have reused the Jia family, but there was really no one in the Jia family's generation, so he had to let the prince of the Jia family to the prince's family take over the post of Jia Daihua's Jingying Jiedu envoy and vigorously support it.
At this time, it is too late for the palace to win over and rely on the Jia family, so how can it defeat this benchmark mansion among the founding nobles?
Isn't that self-destruction of the wall?
Although the brocade pro-army was used last time, it was also because it involved the foreigners' imperial form and the imperial system, and it was put on the bright side, and there had to be a cut.
But even so, the brocade-clothed pro-army obediently waited at the door, asking people to report inside.
If it weren't for the fact that the Jia family has a really special status now, how could the people of Zhenfu Sina still wait at the door, wouldn't the Son of Heaven's army become a joke?
Moreover, even if there is no one that Jia Cong made later, Wang Xifeng is probably just in danger, and the palace is just instantly gracious.
These were all later understood by Jia Cong under the guidance of Song Yan.
After figuring out this, Jia Cong threw away all the arrogance that arose in his heart, and he didn't dare to have a trace of self-satisfaction.
In the whole thing, I am afraid that his actions will be seen by people with intentions from beginning to end, like child's play......
The only thing they wondered about might be how Jia Cong got in touch with the foreigner.
Scold......
Listening to Jia Cong's words, Baoyu couldn't stop laughing more and more, and also felt that it was ridiculous for them to suspect Jia Cong.
Mingyan and his mother Ye Ma listened to it, and they were also confused, and their eyes were dazed.
However, although Ye Ma is only a third-class minion, she also has the wisdom of a small person.
She smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if it has anything to do with the third master or not, but anyone who offends the third master will be unlucky, it can be seen that the third master is a nobleman, and with the blessing of the Buddha, it really can't be provoked." This little beast of my family, the lard has blinded his heart, and he has done such a cheap and shameless thing. Today I brought him to kowtow to the third master, the third master wants to beat, he wants to spit in the face, I just ask the third master to see that I am a lonely widow and a widow, and spare him......"
As he spoke, he shed tears and kowtowed.
Mingyan knelt there dejectedly and kowtowed.
Jia Cong frowned and said to Baoyu: "Hurry up and persuade your people away, I want to have this ability, can I only deal with Mama Li and not deal with him?" ”
In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to do it, it's just that although Mingyan is stubborn, there is no evil behavior, although his mother also has a lot of small brushes, but it is different from Mama Li and Mama Lai.
Jia Cong will not solve an unjust case in order to vent his anger, that is to give people a handle.
Baoyu heard Jia Cong say this, and hurriedly smiled: "Good brother, for my sake, don't bother him, he won't dare in the future." ”
Behind Baoyu, Jia Huan looked at him with contempt, then at Mingyan, and then nodded to Jia Cong, as if asking Jia Cong to call Jinyi's pro-army to take people......
A touch of helplessness flashed in Jia Cong's eyes, and he said to Baoyu: "Okay, it's for your sake, I won't worry about him this time." Now you are a surety, and there will be a next time, and I will not spare him. ”
Baoyu naturally promised again and again, and then waved away Mingyan and his mother.
Except for Jia Huan's low face and dissatisfaction with the accident, everyone was happy.
However, before the brothers and nephews returned to Mozhu Courtyard, they saw Liuli, the eldest girl beside Jia's mother, hurriedly coming over and saying: "The old lady asked Bao Er Ye and Cong Third Master to go to Rongqing Hall, and a foreign guest came. ”
Hearing this, Jia Cong and Baoyu said something, but Jia Huan was really unhappy, snorted, looked at Jia Cong with the eyes of a traitor, and turned back to Mozhu Courtyard.
Jia Lan didn't think so much, and when he saw Jia Cong nodding at him, he went back after saluting.
Jia Cong was a little strange, Jia's mother didn't have a fever, how could she let him go to meet guests?
Puzzled, he smiled at Liuli and asked, "Sister Liuli, how could the old lady recruit me?" Isn't something wrong? ”
Jia Cong looks very good, under the sun, this smile is even more dazzling, Liuli has also reached the age of knowing people, and she was a little intoxicated by this sunny smile, and she explained the reason in a daze:
"It's all the soap recipe written by the third master, it's so good, it's spread in the past two days. Many people didn't buy it, or regretted buying less.
Yesterday, the uncle of the town Guogong Mansion got married, and the bride Xiangyang Hou's family accompanied ten boxes of soap from Qinxiangyuan, and after opening the house, the house was full of fragrance, which was beautiful and practical, and it was praised as a good product at home.
There are so many noble families in the capital, how many marriages have not been held in any month?
With this good start of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, no one wants to leave this dignity behind, which makes people laugh.
But now they can't buy it even if they take the silver, no, I heard that there are fifty percent of the three masters in Qinxiangyuan, so they all begged to come to the door.
So the old lady called the third master to speak......"
When Jia Huan heard this, he smiled and nodded.
……
Rongqing Hall.
"Please old lady, wife, please wife."
After Jia Cong and Baoyu entered side by side, everywhere they looked, they were full of pearls and emeralds, dazzling ayaluo, and rich and powerful.
The two of them are only twelve years old this year, and they are not yet the age to be evasive, so even if there are a few young daughters-in-law, they have not retreated, and their eyes have fallen on Jia Cong......
"Ouch! Now Manshen Kyoto says that the Jia family has produced an amazing child, and the birth is excellent! Although it is not as blessed as the jade, it is also outstanding! I am exaggerating, I don't want to see it today, it's better than the rumors! ”
Sitting on the side of the soft couch of Jia's mother on the high platform, an old lady dressed in the princess royal dress was full of gorgeous hair like frost, and the phoenix hairpin was bright and noble.
With a pair of condescending eyes, as if looking at a girl, he looked at Jia Cong wantonly, and then praised Jia's mother.
When Mother Jia heard this, she smiled faintly and said, "Children's family, where can you see what is good and bad, the concubine has an overreputation." ”
This person is the princess of Nan'an County.
The concubine smiled when she heard this: "This is not a lie, I went into the palace to see the Queen Mother a few days ago, and the Queen Mother told me about it." Someone used to make rumors about the girl Wenmin of the Ye family, and the Queen Mother Fengyan was furious and sent Concubine Zhang Shu into the cold palace, and his brother was also exiled for 3,000 miles.
Afterwards, the Queen Mother asked people to inquire about the situation of your brother, and she regretted it when she learned about it, and told me that if it was just a concubine, as long as the person was good, she didn't pay much attention to these.
It's just that his mother's background is really not on the stage. It's a pity to delay this good boy, it's a pity ......"
After Concubine Wang said this, the Rongqing Hall paused for a moment and was quiet.
Everyone looked sideways, wondering how the princess of Nan'an County could say such a bad thing, which was really not polite.
And even if Jia Mu doesn't like Jia Cong anymore, she can't listen to such words.
The Jia family has always been good friends with the Nan'an County Palace, and her relationship with this old lady is not bad, Jia's mother knows that the reason why this princess is so mean is because the old county king of Nan'an made the same mistake as Jia Yu back then, and even exceeded.
For the sake of a dusty woman in the south, she almost spoiled her concubine and killed her wife.
If it weren't for the violent death of the old county king, I don't know what kind of chaos would have happened......
Since then, the disgust and hatred for the likes of Oiran have continued throughout the old princess's life.
It's just that even if she understands this, Jia Mu will not let the princess of Nan'an County openly practice Jia Cong like this.
In the final analysis, Jia Cong is also the grandson of Rong Guogong, and the throne on his body represents the face of Rong Guofu.
These days, she has repeatedly tolerated Jia Cong's moths, in addition to having no evidence in her hands, it is also because Jia Cong has really added a lot of luster to Rongguo Mansion recently.
Even she had to admit that Jia Cong, the heir of the heir, did a good job.
At this time, how could she let the princess of Nan'an County expose Jia Cong's scars like this and set him a fate?
Mother Jia's face was much more solemn, and she said with a straight face: "The old lady's words are wrong, what does my grandson have to do with that woman?"
He took it into the Rongguo Mansion as soon as he broke down the grass, and raised him in the big wife's room.
Although it is not a grandmother, it is also raised under the knees of the grandmother, and it is no different from the grandmother.
What's the pity?
Moreover, although the Ye family is rich and noble, there is no reason for the future successor of the Jia family to join her Ye family.
The concubine said that this is not the reason? ”
When the princess of Nan'an County heard this, she came back to her senses, glanced at Jia Mu, and said with a wry smile: "Alas! Really...... Let Mrs. Tai laugh, it is true that I said that I am bad.
If I don't know how to be polite at my age, Mrs. Tai also knows what happened back then, thinking of related people and things, I feel bitter in my heart......
Alas, what a rude......
It's a pity that my grandson didn't come today, otherwise he would have asked him to say goodbye to your brother on my behalf. ”
When Jia Mu heard this, she was moved and said: "How can there be such a reason, the concubine and don't break his blessed life!" ”
The old lady still shook her head and said, "Today, I came to ask for some favors, but I became a villain." Anyway, it's hard to open your mouth again. ”
Jia Mu hurriedly said: "What is this worth, also use a word?" What is missing, and the people who send the palace away will be finished without a word? ”
When the old lady heard this, she looked at Jia Cong below with her eyes, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to say hello to the girl of the Ye family, but I thought about it, that girl is a powerful person, and she is the heart of the queen mother.
But don't worry, brother, how much silver it should be, how much silver it should be. There are only many portions, not short portions.
There is no reason to ask you to be a junior again. ”
Jia Cong didn't speak yet, but Jia Mu smiled and said: "If the concubine has twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver, just reward him, if it is less than this amount, don't take it out, it is not in line with the identity of the concubine." ”
Everyone burst into laughter.
At this moment, he saw Jia Cong, who had been silent, bowing down and saying, "What the old lady and the concubine are talking about is not the soap of Qinxiangyuan?" Although Jia Cong has 10,000 filial piety in this matter, he is afraid that he is also powerless. I just told the old lady yesterday that the recipe for the soap is now from the Ye family's Furong son, although I am given a fifty percent bonus, but it is only a bonus. It's okay for people to give, or it's okay not to give.
Moreover, as the concubine said, there was a villain talking in front of the queen mother, and under the anger of the queen mother, even the imperial concubine had a seizure, and the second-grade waiter of the Li Fan Yuan was also exiled for 3,000 miles.
Later, he strictly ordered Furong Gongzi to have less contact with Cong, so as not to let the villains talk again......
Therefore, even if Jia Cong wants to go to the door to ask for personal favors, there is no way to enter.
I hope the concubine will forgive me for this matter. ”
