Chapter 239: Character Determines Destiny
The movement of the Yamen of the Jinling Prefect, how many pairs of eyes watched.
After Master Jia handed over the post, he didn't even enter the gate, and everyone knew that the Jia family was going to be cold this time.
……
Zhen's house, study.
Uncle Zhen only felt very happy, it was not his small belly and chicken intestines, both of them were Jinling surnames, in-laws for several lifetimes, otherwise the Jia family would not have asked for the eldest daughter of the Zhen family for the eldest son.
The Zhen family was willing to marry the eldest daughter, and they also went to the future wife of the Jia family.
Master Jia had soft ears, and at the instigation of his stepwife, he removed the eldest son and the second son, but it also caused the daughter of the Zhen family to become a floating person, and also ruined the reputation and future of Jia Daihua, the nephew of the Zhen family.
How can the Zhen family not hate?
He and his younger brother Zhen Shanchang gloated: "It's really old and confused, and it's still holding a shelf at this time...... Lord Song is related to his brother-in-law and their uncle's family, not to the Jia family, and he still has the face to hand over posts, but he really thinks that he has weight as a prisoner, which is really ridiculous! ”
Zhen Shanchang muttered: "Inseparable from each other...... In any case, in the end, Master Jia is the father of his sister-in-law and Second Master Jia, how to deal with it, is it better to ask over there? ”
"Humph! What a bargain for him! ”
Uncle Zhen was not angry, but he also knew that what his brother said was reasonable.
Fathers and sons are irreversible in the world.
There are parents in the world.
Parents can be unkind, and those who are children cannot be unfilial, otherwise they will break the rules.
Even if Jia Yan and Jia Yuan brothers no longer have father-son affection for Master Jia in their hearts, for the sake of fame and future, they still have to recognize this father in the end, otherwise their virtue is easy to be criticized.
Since ancient times, loyal ministers have produced filial sons, if they really ignore the "rebel son" of Gangchang, what kind of loyalty, how dare the people above rest assured?
Uncle Zhen didn't want to mention these unpleasantness, so he looked at his brother and said, "How is your student Huo Bo?" ”
Zhen Shanchang thought for a while and said, "What a filial person! ”
Readers look at people, and it is easy to think a lot, not just words and deeds.
After all, in this world, in addition to the real villains who seek profit, there are also hypocrites who seek fame.
Huo Bai is a person who is consistent in his words and deeds, and has a generous temperament, not hypocrisy.
Uncle Zhen frowned and said: "What if the character is good, if the ability is insufficient, it is only mediocre ......"
Zhen Shan understood what his brother meant.
The generals of the Chuzhou army, the Zhen family can't cling to it, and it's not easy to cling.
They have the same position as the Jia brothers, and they can only cling to the big tree of the Huo family.
If it is repeated, it will be suspected of being grass on the wall, not to mention whether you can hold other thighs or not, you can't be disgusted by the Huo family first.
"As a clansman, that's enough! Besides, the younger generations of Captain Huo's relatives are all in the army......"
Zhen Shan said.
Uncle Zhen listened.
It's hard to say how far Captain Huo can go in the future.
Huo Bai's branch and Huo Taiwei are follow-up relatives, even if they are within five suits, they can't surpass Huo Taiwei's cousins.
If you are in the martial arts, even if you are in the past, you will have less qualifications than those cousins.
On the contrary, it is from the text, but it is not too late, and it is impossible to say that he will become the first person in the clan among civil officials.
Uncle Zhen's eyes shimmered and he looked at his younger brother.
Zhen Shan said: "Big brother don't be impatient for a while, and things will be done if things are slow...... After a few days, I met Zesheng, and my brother would inquire about it. ”
Zesheng, Huo Bo's father, Huo Hong's zigzag.
Zhen Shanchang and Huo Hong were classmates and friends for many years.
Before the Huo family moved to Jinling, they were also invited by Zhen Shanchang to teach at Jinling Academy.
Uncle Zhen sighed: "I didn't expect Huo Zesheng to have such luck!" ”
Uncle Huo Taiwei!
That is, Huo Hong is low-key and unknown, otherwise the threshold would have been broken long ago.
Rao is like this, knowing his origin, he guessed that he was not related to the Taiwei Mansion.
When Huo Bai took the official exam, he was on the list, his origins were revealed, and he had a real hammer.
The Zhen family is not thinking about marrying the Huo Hong family at this time, and those who have such thoughts are only afraid that it is not a family or two.
……
Historian.
Master Shi is older than Uncle Zhen's brother, and he has a long-term view, and he chatters with his nephew: "Jia San's case is not just a matter of the Jia family......
His nephew is Shi Cong, who has been on the run for half a year.
Now that he has returned to Jinling, he also participated in the official examination on the tenth day of October, and he was on the list.
According to his original intention, he preferred to join the army with his cousin.
It's just that he is the only son in the family, and he returned from life and death, and Aunt Shi stared at it like an eyeball, so she was naturally reluctant, so she participated in the official test.
Shi Cong was away for half a year, and his horizons were much wider, and he said: "Brother Jia and Second Brother Jia didn't make a move, and Governor Song won't be angry for their brother more and more...... This case is not out of personal vendettas, but out of public ......"
"Public-minded?"
Master Shi stroked his beard and muttered, "I don't know what it has to do with the army......
Shi Jin was on the list of expeditions, and the two uncles and nephews of Shi knew that the Chuzhou army was launched.
It's just that Huo Wu and the others ordered people to rest the soldiers before, and they didn't say the direction of the pull, and Master Shi only guessed in his heart.
Anyway, it's nothing more than Yangzhou and Zhenjiang.
Jinling City, today's four gates are under martial law, and they are not allowed to enter or exit, which should prevent someone from seeing something and leaking the news.
"What does the Jia family have? The army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, but the Jinling granary is full, and it is not yet time to collect grain from the gentry? ”
Shi Cong also couldn't understand: "I can't say that Lord Song made this by himself, Huo Wuye is straightforward, he really wants something, he won't beat around the bush like this!" ”
For the Chuzhou army, he is full of good feelings.
I really didn't expect that the original benefactor father and son could make such a big move.
Not to mention that the Chuzhou army did not levy grain at this time, even if it was levy, he would raise his hands in favor.
When Master Shi heard this, this is indeed the truth.
Huo Taiwei was already the lord of Jinling, and there was really no need to act like this.
What is Song Lin's move for?
The Jia family is an old surname, with land and weaving factories......
Master Shi seemed to understand something, and said, "The weaving factory of the Jia family, in whose name?" ”
Shi Cong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I heard that a few days ago, Jia San's ...... was under the name."
As the old saying goes, "When your parents are there, you have no selfish money".
The Jia family did a strange thing a few days ago, that is, the two weaving factories in the family were transferred to Jia San.
Don't think about it, this is to prevent the Jia Yan brothers from returning to the family.
After all, according to the law, the eldest son of Chengzong must get seventy percent of the family property, and the other thirty percent is "equal sharing among all sons".
It's just a gentry family, land is the foundation, and no matter how profitable the weaving mill is, it is not as expensive as land.
As long as Master Jia doesn't give all the land to his son, no one in the Jia family will stop him.
When others heard it, they just listened to it as a joke.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other and did not speak for a long time.
"Now that winter is in place, the army is dispatched, and cotton clothes are ......"
Old Man Shi said.
Shi Cong said with a little excitement: "Uncle, shouldn't our cloth village be closed for rest?" ”
Shijia's cloth village is a two-room industry.
After the death of Second Master Shi, there were also clansmen who were eyeing him, and it was all because of the protection of Master Shi's father and son that they were preserved.
Therefore, even if Shi Cong disposes of his own industry, he is not self-sufficient.
Master Shi nodded.
Ya understood what his nephew meant, not to hoard goods, but to do his part for the Chuzhou army.
Whether it is to thank the Huo family's father and son for their life-saving kindness, or for the future of Shi Jin and Shi Cong's cousins, or to take advantage of the situation so as not to be involved by the Song prefect, the Shi family seems to have no other choice.
……
The Wang family.
Master Wang also called his son Wang County Lieutenant back.
Now it shouldn't be called a county lieutenant, it's Wang Qianhu, who belongs to the Jinling camp, and Du Laoba has become a defender of thousands of households.
"The Jia family is going to be unlucky, the Jia family's land, the weaving factory, don't be cheap outsiders!"
Master Wang was a little excited and explained to his son.
Wang Qianhu hesitated: "Where is my aunt?" ”
That's right, the Wang family and the Jia family are also in-laws.
The "aunt" in Wang Qian's household registration is Mrs. Jia.
Master Wang hurriedly said: "It's just a cousin from the head of the room...... If you don't get involved at this time, when will you get involved? ”
Mr. Wang and Mrs. Jia are cousins of the same great-grandfather.
Behind Mrs. Jia, there is also a brother who is a Jingguan, and that is the bane that cannot be touched at the moment.
Wang Qianhu said: "Then the son will go to Jia's house?" ”
Master Jia is like a headless fly today, and at this time, it is a lifesaver.
Master Wang nodded and said, "Go ahead!" They should know that no one can help them but our family! ”
……
Taiweifu Yamen.
Watching the dusty water enter, Huo Bao was dumbfounded.
It is more than 100 miles from Jinling to Lingshui County, and there is still half of the mountain road in the middle.
Zhu Gang set off for Lingshui County on the afternoon of 15 October, bringing with him 500 soldiers, and he could not arrive in Lingshui County until yesterday evening at the earliest.
Shui Jin returned to Jinling this morning.
Is this a night road?
Shui Jin was already hungry and thirsty, holding a teapot, it was a cow drink.
Du Laoba was beside him, looking at Shui Jin's embarrassment, "hehe" and laughing: "Is this not a trip with dry food?" What a fool, you can't even catch a pheasant or hare! ”
The owner of the horse village glared at Shui Jin angrily: "Leave your personal guards, go alone, and walk at night in the mountains, are you really capable?" Are you still a child? Such willful nonsense? ”
Shui Jin put down the teapot, stood honestly, and said with a smile: "Sixth master, don't your subordinates guess that Yangzhou has changed?" I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up! ”
He has been by Huo Wu's side for more than half a year, and he knows best where Huo Wu's scales are.
This time, the twenty artillery pieces almost trapped Huo Bao and died.
No matter what the goal of the Huainan Provincial defenders in releasing these firearms was, Huo Wusuo could not tolerate it.
This time, it's time to fight Yangzhou.
It's just that there is a gold mine in Lingshui County, and the matter is important, and someone must stay behind, so it's useless to be anxious before the water enters.
When Zhu Gang arrived, Shui Jin couldn't get it for a moment, so he immediately threw away his personal guards, one person and two horses, and galloped back to Jinling.
The owner of the horse village said hatefully: "Isn't it just this time?" What are you anxious about? A good general, if he is lost in the mountains due to hurrying, then our Chuzhou army will become a big joke! ”
Shui Jin looked sneered, and didn't dare to say more.
He knew in his heart that the owner of the horse village had good intentions and was worried about his safety, not that he did not dare to move.
It's just that this time it's Yangzhou, which is different in the end.
If he had fought Zhenjiang and Changzhou, he would not have been so urgent.
It is true that Yangzhou has firearms, as well as water divisions, and tens of thousands of Huainan Road defenders are also well-armed under the supply of big salt merchants.
Yangzhou is a hard bone.
