Chapter 414: Mengpo Zhai Deliberations
"Back to the old lady, the old man asked the second master of Qing to go to Mengpo Zhai to discuss matters."
Out of the main gate of the Grand View Garden, he saw a small guy looking around, so Jia Mu beckoned him to come over for questioning.
Hearing that it was Jia Zheng looking for Jia Qing, Jia's mother said unhappily to Jia Qing: "It's just that you have been playing with us for a while, and someone has come to urge you!" ”
Jia Qing smiled and said, "Since the ancestor said so, what if I don't go?" At that time, if the second uncle is to blame, I will say that it is the meaning of the ancestor, and the second uncle will not dare to say anything if he wants to come......"
After speaking, he said to Jia Zheng's little servant: "If you go back to the master, you will say that I was detained by the old lady......"
The little girl's face was stunned, and he didn't dare to speak. Jia Zheng's order was to let him not disturb Jia's mother's interest, so he waited here, and finally waited, but he didn't expect to make Jia's mother unhappy......
Jia Mu smiled: "You are used to using me as a shield...... You'd better go quickly, joking with us is just a trivial matter, and you can't delay what you are doing outside, so go quickly. ”
She's just joking. The business done by the men outside is the guarantee of the family's wealth and continuity, how can she interfere with it?
Jia Qing also smiled: "Then I'll go to ......"
In the rear, Daiyu said to Jia Baoyu: "Now that you are relieved, my uncle has something to call the second brother over, and he won't call you anymore." ”
Jia Baoyu agreed with this very much, and said: "The second brother's life is not good, just because he has a knight, the emperor will not let him go, and he will be asked to do it if there is something at home." If it were me, I'd rather not have that knight and be happy all day long.
Now the old man treats his second brother as his right-hand man, and he has to discuss everything. With the second brother, the master really didn't force me as usual......
It's just that if the master doesn't take the second brother to teach me a lesson. ”
Jia Baoyu said that he was a little embarrassed in the back, obviously deeply touched by the power of Jia Qing, the child next door.
Daiyu and the others were used to hearing Jia Baoyu say such things, so they just smiled and were not surprised.
Li Kun next to him said: "You, it's really only suitable for growing up in Fugui Township!" Only you don't take the title that tens of thousands of people outside can't look forward to until the oil runs out, but you still feel like a burden. ”
Jia Baoyu said: "So I just said that those people are just vulgar and vulgar stupid things, why should my sister-in-law talk about those people." ”
Li Kun listened to it and knew that Jia Baoyu was not a noble existence that she could teach, so she also smiled and said no more.
......
"Now that the main works of the garden have been completed, all that remains is some beds, tents, curtains, chairs, etc., which will be completely complete in less than a month or two.
Therefore, I am ready to beg the Holy Lady tomorrow to return to the province on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, do you think it is appropriate? ”
In Mengpo Zhai, Jia Zheng sat on the top and said to Jia Qing with a smile.
Jia Lian and Jia Qing sat on the row of chairs below, and at this time there were several Qing guests from Jia Zheng sitting in the house, but they had already discussed in advance, and now they were just asking for Jia Qing's opinion, so they didn't speak.
Originally, Jia Yu was also here, but he left before Jia Qing arrived.
"The second uncle's decision is very good, since the Mid-Autumn Festival is the day of reunion, and it can avoid the upcoming hot day, it is the most suitable to welcome the mother and the mother." Jia Qing agreed.
Seeing that Jia Qing had no opinion, Jia Zheng was even happier, and said: "Okay, then this matter will be decided first, and I will write tomorrow and ask the Holy Lord to cut it."
Also, what is missing in the garden, I have asked Jia Lian to do it, you can also see what is still missing in the garden, and let your second brother do it. ”
Jia Qing looked at Jia Lian on the side. Jia Lian saw it and smiled back at Jia Qing.
"Good. In this way, please ask Second Brother Lian to bother more. ”
"Where, this is what I should do. The second brother has been busy for half a year for his mother's affairs, and now I am just helping to do a little thing, where can I bother. However, if I do something wrong, please don't have scruples about it, just point it out. ”
"Second Brother Lian is polite ......"
Seeing Jia Lian almost speak to him with an attitude of asking for instructions and reporting, Jia Qing suddenly felt a little weak......
Regarding Jia Zheng's assignment of arranging the garden to Jia Lian, Jia Qing knew that Jia Zheng did not mean to seize power. Buying means buying things, and buying things means spending money!
Jia Qing has been working hard for half a year and putting all his energy into the construction of the garden, and it is with Jia Qing's responsible and serious attitude that the garden can be completed at an almost miraculous speed in seven or eight months. Jia Zheng was very satisfied with this.
It's just that while being satisfied, it is inevitable that there is also some shame.
For the actual amount of silver invested by Ning Guofu in the entire construction process of the garden, Jia Zheng has an approximate amount. Although Jia Qing originally said that if he was allowed to build it, he could save a large piece of the people below who were greedy for ink, and only needed less than 300,000 taels of silver to build it, so Ning Guofu would not have much more.
Originally, Jia Zheng also thought that this was the case, but when he saw Jia Qing's attitude of striving for perfection in everything, he realized that Jia Qing was not doing things to save money, but to save the silver and build a better garden......
According to Jia Lian's report to him, the silver spent by Ning Guofu before and after is estimated to be at least more than 300,000 taels of silver! The cost of the entire garden, under Jia Qing's "meanness", is still as high as four or five hundred thousand taels of clean silver!
Jia Zheng's cheekiness has always been not thick-skinned, although he thinks that it is better to let Jia Qing be responsible in the end, it is not good to take advantage of Ning Guofu again, so he instructed Jia Lian to go over every day to sit in the town, but if there is anything that needs to be added, he will pay the account first, and they will buy it from their side......
Although Jia Qing felt that it was a bit of a snake, he was still quite satisfied with Jia Zheng's attitude, so he did not refuse.
Moreover, although Jia Lian is playful and lustful, he is also a normal person, although he has no great wisdom, it is more appropriate to do some small things.
After talking about the provincial relatives, Jia Zheng suddenly groaned, thought about it, took out a letter from his case, and said, "This is sent by Shoushan Bofu, you can also take a look." ”
When Jia Qing saw it, he already had a calculation in his heart, stepped forward to take it, took out the letterhead and looked at it.
This is a letter asking Jia Fu to intercede in front of the emperor......
"This kind of thing can be decided by the second uncle himself, so why ask me."
Jia Qing folded the letterhead again and put it in the envelope, and said to Jia Zheng.
Jia Zhengdao: "After Shoushan Bofu and my Jia family were both founding ministers, they have always had a good relationship, and now his family is in trouble, and we should do our best."
It's just that I can't say anything in front of Your Majesty, and I dare to write a letter to intercede, for fear of arousing Your Majesty's disgust...... Therefore, I have consulted with you gentlemen, Your Majesty has always treated you kindly, and I think you can say a few words in front of Your Majesty, it is better to ......."
"What Shi Weng said is very true, Brother Shi is talented and intelligent, and he is liked by two generations of saints, if he comes forward to make peace, then the crisis of Shoushan Bofu can be solved!"
"Exactly......
Jia Qing's heart sank.
Jia Zheng is really still Jia Zheng, and his actions are too unsophisticated! Such an important matter, he actually did not shy away from these Qingke who sat down! I'm afraid that even the letter itself has been shown to them...... How can we do this?
If these cleaners are all real celebrities, Jia Qing knows what kind of level these cleaners of Jia Zheng are...... It's just a bunch of pedantic scholars who can't even play tricks on their lips......
If he is really capable, how can he stoop to live under Jia Zhengmen? Before Yuan Chun became the imperial concubine, Jia Zheng was in the imperial court, and it was very appropriate to use obscurity.
If you don't have your own status and prestige, it is almost impossible to get the help of the world's talents, and besides, it is still a group of ......
It's almost the same as He Shanbao.
Even Jia Qing has not met anyone who can really give him advice at present.
If the machine is not secret, it will be harmed! Jia Zheng shouldn't have understood such a simple truth, but when he was doing things, he forgot it all. Fortunately, Jia Zheng is in the Ministry of Industry, and fortunately, his position is not high......
"In this matter, it is inconvenient for us to come forward, everything only depends on whether Shoushan Bofu is really guilty, and there is the dictatorship of the Holy Sacred Heart, and others can't help."
In front of these people, Jia Qing naturally didn't leave any tongue.
"Brother Shi's words are wrong, now that the court has reopened the big case three years ago, and the Shoushan Bofu has not yet been convicted, as long as Brother Shi comes forward to intercede at this time, His Majesty will naturally not chase after him anymore. As long as Your Majesty doesn't delve into it, then Shoushan Bofu will be in the ......"
The person who spoke, Jia Qing, didn't recognize him, but only knew that he was one of Jia Zheng's many Qing guests.
If he was such an idiot, Jia Qing didn't bother to pay attention to it. If it's okay, Shoushan Bofu will go around asking for help? That letter just now really made people cry when they read it. Moreover, how can the emperor's mind be influenced by a courtier, unless he is Cao Sikong!
After the speaker finished speaking, he looked at Jia Qing quite high-spiritedly, but saw that Jia Qing didn't seem to hear him speak, just looked in the direction of Jia Zheng, and after a few seconds, his face turned red and he shut up in a sneer.
In his heart, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of resentment, and Jia Zheng has always been respectful to them......
Jia Zheng naturally saw this scene, on one side was his doorman, and on the other hand was his most important nephew, he didn't have much to say, so he had to cover up the topic in the past:
"What you said is true, but this is the third noble family involved since the case was turned over, and I don't know how many more families will be involved in the future. The nobles who left behind from the founding of our country are now gone. Wenchen is even more folded in, I don't know how many, this turmoil is really too big, we can help a little bit, let's help a little......"
Jia Zheng's words are like a commoner's home, taking care of relatives, and there is no sense of heaviness when they sound, and it really doesn't look like the tone of a family member in a public mansion.
Jia Qingxin said: If it weren't for the fact that the Marquis of Zhaoxin, who folded in earlier, also happened to be the founding noble, I'm afraid that Yuanchun might not be able to enter the concubine so easily......
The emperor is determined not to give up if he does not achieve his goal this time, at this time, it is too late for him to avoid right and wrong, how can he go to block the emperor! Do you really think the emperor can be so kind to him? I like you when it's useful, if I don't like you, you go home and play with eggs, Da Chu has talents......
"Late life is rude, please stay away for the time being."
Jia Qing got up and saluted to the Qingke sitting on the other side.
He felt that if he didn't give Jia Zheng a wake-up call, he would inevitably get into trouble in the future. Rather than making amends, it is better to take precautions.
Jia Qing's words, although polite, still made people uncomfortable. It's a clear distrust of them!
His mind turned quickly, and he got up with a smile. was depressed, his complexion changed, and he still had to get up......
"Second brother Lian, when I came over just now, I heard that my niece and daughter were making a lot of trouble, which made the second sister-in-law miserable, why don't you go back and have a look first?" After Jia Zheng's purges went out, Jia Qing said to Jia Lian again.
Jia Lian was speechless. Let him avoid it, and say a reason for being so lame! I'm about to give birth, can I not toss some? Moreover, he has never been involved in Jia Qing's determination that Wang Xifeng's daughter must be his daughter......
"Then I'll go back first......"
......
"Say whatever you want."
Seeing Jia Qing's solemn approach, Jia Zheng knew that it must be an important and extraordinary matter, so he also became solemn.
After only the two of them were left in the room, Jia Qing sat directly on the chair closest to Jia Zheng and said, "It's not that my nephew is unsympathetic...... Does the second uncle know how this matter was involved in Shoushan Bofu? ”
Jia Zhengdao: "Didn't you bite out of the prison by your colleagues, so you discussed the crime in the court?" ”
Jia Qing shook his head: "As far as my nephew knows, the Jinyi Army has cracked the case of the interception and killing of the urgent messenger six hundred miles ago, and all the targets are the Shoushan Bofu ......."
"What?"
Jia Zheng was shocked: "There is such a thing? They're too bold too! ”
"Bold? Second Uncle really doesn't know who His Majesty's real target is this time? ”
Jia Qing sneered.
Jia Zheng looked at Jia Qing suspiciously, slowly changed his complexion, and said hesitantly: "Could it be that the rumors are true, Your Majesty's real purpose is ......"
Jia Zheng's eyes were full of worry: "In this way, the imperial court is really going to have a big incident......
Jia Qing said secretly: Isn't it exactly, the emperor wants to get rid of Zai Fu, but because of the existence of the Emperor Taishang, it is difficult to use his privileges, so he can only attack head-on, and the people who fell in front of him, whether it is Wang Xianjue who died or Liu Shi, a first-class man from Shoushan Bofu who is about to be imprisoned, are just pawns.
"In this way, does the second uncle think that our Jia family can still get involved in this matter?"
After listening to Jia Qing's questioning, Jia Zheng finally changed his complexion. Although he claims to be a gentleman, he also knows to be afraid! The struggle for power is the darkest and cruelest, and their Jia family guards the great wealth, so why bother to get involved in these things......
Although Jia Zheng seemed to have woken up, Jia Qing continued: "Actually, although the court has fallen more than a dozen ministers of all sizes this time, and even the nobles are about to fall three, such a big change, but our family is the one who has benefited......"
Jia Zheng was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Jia Qing said indifferently: "The natural power technique pays attention to balance, and if Your Majesty wants to succeed, the impact will naturally not be small." Moreover, there have always been rumors in the government and the opposition that His Majesty treated the former emperor's old ministers poorly, and among them, the honors and nobles were exemplary.
This time, the emperor turned over the old case three years ago, and also involved several nobles, His Majesty was used by the other party in order to avoid rumors, so it was natural to express his favor to the old ministers of Taishang.
Otherwise, how could Wu Guifei be directly promoted from the concubine to the concubine a few years ago...... Even if His Majesty's harem is empty, he will not be so hasty! ”
Jia Zheng was not stupid, and reacted when he heard the words: "You mean, our noble concubine is also due to such reasons?" ...... I see! ”
He said, how can the great good things in the past two years be smashed into their Jia family, it turns out that there is such a deep reason.
Jia Qing saw that Jia Zheng fully understood, so he smiled and said, "In this way, the second uncle thinks that we can help with the favor of Shoushan Bofu?" ”
Jia Zheng shook his head and said: "Since it has become a fact, we can't help anything if we want to, life and death, wealth and wealth, each with a destiny." ”
