The directors of the left and right divisions of the Zongren Mansion are subordinate officials and are the five products.

The left and right divisions are in charge of the clan and the noble genealogy, and the preface records the children's descendants, births and deaths, marriages, official titles, and names, and approves the order of inheritance, rank and order, and the provision of preferential benefits.

The clan did it.

Liu Chengxiang, director of the Left Division of the Zongren Mansion, is the clan.

It's just that the Great Qian has been founded for more than 100 years, and the clan has multiplied day by day, and in the Chongkang period, there are no less than 1,000 children of the clan, and because of the demotion and inheritance, the prince of the Taizu period has arrived in this dynasty, if there is no grace and merit, it is just the prince of Feng'en Town.

And the original Feng'en Town Guogong had already been removed from the clan genealogy by this dynasty.

It's not that the heavenly family is harsh, if it is a clan, then you can't be an official in the imperial examination, and you can't lead the army in the army, so you can only mess around in the internal affairs office or the Zongren Mansion, Guanglu Temple and other idle children.

In this way, it is also a monk with more meat and less meat.

The little money that is distributed every year is not enough for the whole family to eat porridge.

simply take off this layer of shackles, but there are no taboos.

Liu Chengxiang was originally the third son of Taizu and became a king, but the ancestor was really not high at the beginning, and although he has not left the spectrum in this generation, he has no title.

Empty of the name of a clan, because the literary name is not weak, so he is a subordinate official of the five products in the Zongren Mansion.

Give a hand to Zongzheng, Zongren and other kings......

are also the descendants of Taizu, some people are now kings, and their noble positions are prominent, while others are like slaves and subordinates, and they are driven by others.

Its mentality can be imagined.

Liu Chengxiang is a relatively "reactionary" anti-backbone boy in the clan who hopes that the "revolution" will happen.

is clearly a clan, but he respects scholars from poor families, and hates the scum of the noble lineage.

Therefore, ordinary clans and nobles go to the Zongren Mansion to do things, but they often do not fall well in his hands, and they make things difficult in every way.

He is still a clan in the end, and others can't do anything to him.

Especially the honorable ......

And when Liu Chengxiang was introduced into Yimen, he happened to see Jia Jingqian angry with Jia Cong and scolded him sharply.

If it were ordinary, he wouldn't have thought of it.

At most, a sneer dog eats dog.

But the Jia family is different, because he has always been known for his literary name, and he knows that the Jia family has recently produced a Qing minister.

Although he hadn't seen him, he had heard that although the son of the Qing family was not tall, he was handsome and handsome, and he chased Song Yu Pan An.

Standing in the crowd, it is really like a beautiful jade, captivating the country and the city.

It is even rumored that the reason why his teacher Song Changong used the word of Yan Lu Gong as his expression was to use the strong atmosphere of Yan Lu Gong through the ages to neutralize his too beautiful appearance.

Therefore, when Liu Chengxiangfu entered the Yimen and saw Jia Cong for the first time, he recognized him.

It's too obvious, and it clearly stands out from the crowd.

Coupled with that indifferent temperament, exactly the same as the rumors, Liu Chengxiang concluded that this person was Jia Qingchen, who had been friends for a long time.

Seeing a young man Wenjie who could speak "four words", write "Qingchen style", and write "bamboo cane and mango shoes are lighter than horses", was scolded by a noble who was "dressed in strange clothes" and full of decay, Liu Chengxiang's heart instantly became three points worse.

The reason why Jia Yu is determined to be a nobleman is because in a national mansion like Ning Guofu, a person who dares to reprimand and scold in front of countless people, will he still be a true Taoist?

Liu Chengxiang, who already knew about the situation of the Jia family, even directly concluded that this person was Jia Jing in Ningguofu who abandoned his title and family business and wanted to go out of the city to fight in the Taoist temple.

Thinking of this, his face darkened by three points.

Although as a clan, he is a powerful person, but in the eyes of him, a down-and-out clan, a person who relies on his noble status to be a powerful person, is a fart!

Pickled rats, dare to insult Wenjie?

And the Jia family on the other side saw this person coming with a low face, and they didn't know what was going on.

Most of the nobles don't care about civil officials, because civil officials can't control the nobles.

Even if it is a traitor, it is the Heavenly Family and the Zongren Mansion that are in charge.

Therefore, the noble family is afraid of the Zongren Mansion.

Although Liu Chengxiang is only a subordinate official, he is also a clan.

Jia Jing, Jia Zheng and others stepped forward to greet them and ask what they meant.

However, in front of the princes and nobles, there were all the decent members of the Jia family, but in front of this clan's "anti-bone boy", they were closed and left out in the cold.

After Liu Chengxiang reluctantly returned the salute to Jia Zheng, he did not answer the reason, but looked at Jia Cong behind Jia Zheng and asked, "You can be a disciple of Song Changong, and Jia Qingchen in four words?" ”

Jia Cong stood up neither humbly nor arrogantly in the strange eyes of the Jia family, and saluted: "The student is Jia Cong, but he doesn't dare to be the name of the four words, this is the teaching of my teacher Song Changong and Mr. Mu Min." ”

Seeing him so humble, Liu Chengxiang felt even more good in his heart, and said: "Although you are a powerful person, I am very happy for your desire to learn." Wangru will make persistent efforts and not be delayed by the status of honor. ”

Jia Cong was curious about who this person was, but he replied respectfully: "Thank you for your teachings." ”

When Liu Chengxiang heard this, he only felt that the gentleman was like a jade and a spring breeze, and he really wanted to have a good chat, but he knew that he had business on his body.

Seeing Jia Jing's thin old face on the other side turned black into the bottom of the pot, instead of being afraid, he sneered and said, "You are Jia Jing?" ”

Jia Jing snorted and said, "Exactly." ”

Liu Chengxiang asked again: "Where is Ning Guozun Sun Jia Rong?" ”

Seeing that no one answered, Jia Cong reciprocated the favor and replied: "Lord Hui, Jia Rong is a filial son and is returning filial piety in the mourning hall." ”

Jia Jing's eyes glared at Jia Cong, and he saw that Liu Chengxiang was here to find right and wrong.

But he was not afraid.

The Jia family is a double father, although it is not as good as before, but it is not afraid to let others bully them.

Jia Cong's behavior, in his opinion, is an internal thief.

But before he could have a seizure, he heard Liu Chengxiang say in a dark voice: "Prince Zongzheng Zhongshun of the Fengzong Mansion: Zhao Ning Mansion Jia Jing and Jia Rong enter the Zongren Mansion for questioning!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed greatly!

Calling to the Zongren Mansion for questioning is probably the last thing the Xungui Sect wants to hear.

It is also the most shameful thing!

partially, they still dare not refuse.

Because the Zongren Mansion is in charge of the lifeblood of the nobles, approves the inheritance, and even determines the degree of surrender.

If the Zongren Mansion is excellent, although it is rare to inherit the original rank, it is not uncommon.

If the assessment of the Zongren Mansion is inferior, it is not uncommon for them to be demoted by three levels in a row.

And being called for questioning is obviously a very bad situation......

Otherwise, no matter what, the Heavenly Family will leave some dignity for the honorable nobles who have made meritorious contributions to the country.

Seeing this, Jia Jing could no longer afford the dignity of a clan, and his face was fearful......

……

Rongguo Mansion, Mozhu Temple.

Ping'er and the others have already learned about the affairs of Dongfu, so it is naturally a "castrated version".

However, when they learned that Jia Cong was in charge of the East Mansion, Ping'er, Qingwen and others still felt interesting and honorable.

Unexpectedly, a yard of people was having lunch in the house, and they saw Jia Cong coming back......

Ping'er and the others hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and greeted them.

"Why are you back now?"

Qingwen was straightforward and asked urgently.

Jia Cong smiled slightly and said, "I was dismissed by the eldest lord of Dongfu, and I came back." ”

For the group of gentlemen of the Jia family, Jia Cong is completely out of temper.

At this time, Jia Jing actually asked Jia Qiang to replace Jia Cong before leaving, in order to assert his authority.

Of course, he may not want Rongguo's hand to stretch too long, but in any case, he does so to make Jia Cong feel absurd.

It seems that no matter whether it is a country or a family, evil spirits will be born at the end of the year......

Although Jia Cong said that his calm breath was not painful or itchy, Ping'er, Qingwen and others were really angry.

The aggrieved eyes were red, they thought that at this point today, Jia Cong would never be humiliated like this again......

Seeing them like this, Jia Cong smiled instead: "You are also stupid, who loves to do such things?" If it weren't for the old man's face, and the old lady personally assigned it, I wouldn't have been able to hide. ”

Others felt that it seemed to be this reason, but Ping'er knew a lot, and reminded: "This is also an opportunity, I can officially meet with so many princes and ministers, and old friends." ”

Jia Cong looked sideways slightly when he heard this, what Ping'er said was actually reasonable.

At such times, it is indeed the best time for all kinds of princes and old friends to get to know each other and expand their contacts.

It was also the motivation for Jia Cong to work hard before, but people didn't appreciate it and didn't give him a chance, and he couldn't force it.

Of course, you can't say that at home, it's worrying and regrettable for nothing.

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Sister Ping'er thinks too much, although it is rare to have the opportunity to meet those nobles, it can be seen that there are more of them." Their own children see them every day, and their achievements are like that, and there are more children. So, after all, you still have to rely on yourself. Meeting them more often is actually better than reading more articles. ”

Ping'er was suspicious, but Qingwen and the others immediately rebelled, and nodded again and again: "What the third master said is ambitious!" ”

Ping'er scolded with a smile, and then let go of his hand.

Zhang Luo went to prepare lunch for Jia Cong.

Jia Cong saw four plates of side dishes on their small dining table: fried wolfberry sprouts with oil and salt, pheasant melon seeds, chicken pith bamboo shoots, rouge goose breast, and a bowl of ham and bamboo shoot soup and a wooden bucket of japonica rice.

Seeing that there was still more than half of the japonica rice, he smiled and said, "Don't be busy anymore, just do this." ”

Ping'er hurriedly said: "Where is this?" It's all leftovers. ”

Xiaohong immediately wanted to go to the kitchen to ask Sister-in-law Liu to stir-fry again, but was stopped by Jia Cong and said, "Family, if there is anything left, just add two dishes and chopsticks." ”

When Ping'er and the others heard this, they stopped talking, and looked at Jia Cong's warm and jade-like face, and their eyes became tender like water.

The girls sat down together again, accompanied Jia Cong to eat, and let him eat.

As soon as he finished eating, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and saw Jia Huan running like a gust of wind, sweating profusely.

Jia Cong glanced at it and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

I originally planned to come to Mozhu Academy to study today, but when such a thing happened, I naturally couldn't read it.

Jia Huan listened to the question, but glanced at Ping'er and the others mysteriously, and then pretended not to speak, as if there was a maid in the inconvenience, Jia Cong, who was watching, twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly......

Ping'er and the others were secretly funny, and they wouldn't be as knowledgeable as Jia Huan, thinking about Aunt Zhao behind him, they really couldn't afford to provoke them, and they didn't want to provoke them, so they packed up the dishes and chopsticks together and left.

After the others left, Jia Huancai mysteriously lowered his voice and said excitedly: "Third Brother Cong, I heard that Brother Zhen wanted to force a woman to be Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, so he was beaten to death by Brother Rong?" ”

When Jia Cong heard this, his face changed.
