No matter how the outside world changes, the days of Jiafu only have their own rhythm.

On the eighth day of the first month of the sixteenth year of Yuan Heng, it snowed for the first time after the New Year.

There wasn't much snow in the imperial capital, and there weren't a few snowfalls last winter.

This snow has just started to fall heavily, and people thought it would fall a little bigger, which will greatly alleviate the drought this spring.

However, it didn't take long for the snow to stop.

However, this does not seem to have much to do with the people in Jiafu.

What happened on the land outside the city, whether the crops failed or not, what the mood of the peasants was, seemed to be far away from them.

All the businesses in Jiafu are good, in addition to their own shops in each house, the officials will also pay dividends regularly.

Such a prosperous day is relatively rare even among the major families in today's imperial capital.

Therefore, a small snowfall, in addition to affecting their mood of appreciating the snow, did not have much impact on Jiafu.

The girls now live in the Grand View Garden and live a leisurely life as usual.

Reciting poems and paintings, chatting back and forth, and greeting their elders are most of their daily lives.

However, the Grand View Garden still seems a little deserted.

The Xiaoxiang Pavilion and the Wuyuan are still empty, and they are also empty for most of the day in Qiushuangzhai. Because Tanchun is basically in the East Flower Hall now, he is busy with Li Kun's business in Jiafu.

Although it is two people, the two of them are still very busy every day. This makes them often think of the time when Baochai presided over the business of Rongguo Mansion.

At that time, Baochai was just one person presiding over these things, but he seemed to be very leisurely, lifting weights lightly, and there was nothing like them now, which seemed to have endless things to do.

After the eighth day of the first lunar month, the peak of visiting relatives and friends gradually passed, and the pace of life gradually slowed down.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, news came from outside. Because of the lack of safety in the dragon's body, the emperor went to court every day from the previous day to the court once every two days.

After fifteen, news came that the emperor decreed that the crown prince would supervise the country and handle some political affairs on behalf of the emperor. If it is not a major government matter, the emperor generally no longer handles it personally.

Although people don't dare to say it on the surface, they all understand in private that the emperor seems to be getting sicker and sicker.

This is not good news for Jia Fu.

Although Jia Yuanchun is in the palace, she is the concubine of the Prince of Yuanheng, and she doesn't seem to have much to do with the prince. If the emperor dies, it will not be a good thing for Jia Fu.

But good things and bad things, that's not something they can control.

The entire Jia Mansion, even including the four major families, does not seem to have anything to do with the crown prince.

As for the prince's impression of Jiafu, only God knows.

If the crown prince succeeds to the throne, Jia Yuanchun's status in the palace will inevitably decline.

Wang Ziteng, another important pillar of the four major families, although he still has heavy troops, has been stationed in Jiujiang and seems to be far away from the imperial court.

The people of Jia also understand that they will now be faced with some new choices.

Jia Lian has been paying attention to these things in the past few days, and today he received a letter from Zhang Decai, and he decided to come to the old lady to discuss.

The old lady read the letter and pondered for a long time before speaking.

"How could Brother Min have thought that after building such a big mansion in Beihai, he really wants to move the two mansions there?"

"It should be, according to Brother Zhi'er, although the house there is not as big as the house, but it is not small, and the people in the two mansions can still live in it, but they will have to be abolished."

"Although there is no letter from Brother Min, Feng Ziying and Brother Zhi have sent letters, and Ping'er also said so, presumably this is what Brother Min meant."

"It should be the meaning of the fourth brother Min, and the fourth brother of Min has also told me this meaning before. It's just that I didn't expect that the crown prince would be in charge of the country so soon, and the emperor's dragon body was afraid that it would be ....... ”

"Brother Min is still in that France?"

"It should still be there, if he comes back, such a big event, he will definitely come back in person."

"Brother Min'er's worries are not entirely unreasonable, it's just that my Jia family has been loyal and loyal to the court for generations, although the emperors of the past dynasties are different, they have never treated my family badly, even if the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, it will not necessarily embarrass us."

"Besides, moving to Beihai is not a trivial matter. Such a big family, up and down 2,000 mouths, where thousands of miles away, where is it so easy to pass? ”

"Even in the past, what about the industries and houses here and Jinling? Beihai is a wild land after all, how can you get used to it when you get there? From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, the days there are always not as good as in the imperial capital. ”

"If you really don't want to go to Beihai, you can go to Bukui, where the mountains and rivers are far away, and it can be regarded as far away from the emperor's place."

"To Bukui and to Beihai, in fact, there is no difference. Besides, even if you want to leave, it's not that easy. ”

"First, you Lao Tzu and them, can you be willing to go? Second, what if we are gone, leaving so many clansmen behind? Third, how to deal with the property and house here? Fourth, when you get there, will you be able to stand still? ”

"The most fundamental one, our family is different from other people's families, will the court let us go? Besides, when the time comes, the eldest girl will be left alone, alone in the palace, without relatives, how can we bear to leave her here alone? ”

When the old lady said this, Jia Lian also felt that it made sense.

Jiafu is different from other families, if the family really moves, it will definitely cause a huge sensation at that time. It is likely that the imperial court will not let it go.

"How about that?"

"Brother Min'er's worries are not unreasonable. There are some things that we have to guard against. In that case, make a two-step plan. ”

"What does the old ancestor mean?"

"You and I are both old, and we have lived this life, and we are content. But you juniors, you have to make some plans. As long as you juniors are here, the incense of the Jia family will continue, even if you leave for a while, there will be a day when you will come back in the future. ”

"Did the ancestor say that the juniors should go first?"

"I'm not in a hurry. Now that Brother Min is outside, the Jia family always has a way out. Just tell Baoyu and the girls to go first, Tana has never been used to living here, and it will not be a good thing to return to North Ventura. ”

"Do you want Baoyu to follow Tana to North Vandula?"

"When the time comes, ask Baoyu, whether he is willing to go to Beihai, or North Wendula, or Bukui, in short, he has to leave the imperial capital first, and if he stabilizes in the future, he can come back."

"What about the Baoyu Imperial Examination?"

"Just let it go for a while, and then take the exam in a few years, it's okay. After a few days, when the weather is warm, I will ask the girls to set off, either Bukui, or Beihai, in short, I will ask them to go to'er, and I will be relieved. ”

"Father and uncle, where are they?"

"Don't tell them yet, you can't spread it at this time, just you and me. Even the girls and Baoyu only told them where to go for the time being, and when they got there, they would tell them the truth. If there is a leak here, I am afraid that there will be movement in the imperial court. ”

"In addition, there is nothing big in the house now, so I will ask Brother Qiang and Brother Yun to go to Beihai too, one is to help Brother Zhi, and the other is to go there to do some planning and make a living, the girls and you will come there in the future, and you can't sit and eat empty."

"Don't worry about this matter, Fourth Brother Min will definitely have a plan."

"I know he's going to have a plan, but I can't rely on him for everything. Brother Min has been suffering outside since he was a child, and when he arrived in the house, he also worked all day, and he didn't live a good life for a few days. ”

"The business here in the imperial capital, just maintain the current ones, and don't open new businesses. After making money, he took it to Bukui or Beihai and handed it over to'er, first, the house there also needed money, and second, he looked for some business there. ”

"In addition, the commander of the Jinyi Army is called Zhou Tong, right? I remember that he was a fellow disciple of Brother Min, and I could get close to him as much as possible. ”

"Grandson understood."

The old lady directly said Zhou Tong's name, not only Jia Lian was a little surprised.

It seems that although the old ancestor is old, he is not confused at all. Just from the point of telling the juniors to leave, doing things is strategic.

If you think that the old ancestor will only enjoy a day, you really underestimate her old man.

He naturally knew the purpose of the old lady asking him to befriend Zhou Tong, but because he was in that position, he was more well-informed, and if there was something going on in the future, he could send a message to his family in advance.

When Xie Kun was leaving, he once asked Jiang Mingqian to bring a letter to Jia Min, conveying that it was Song Kuan, the prince of Dongping, who instructed him to secretly investigate Jiafu.

After hesitating, Jiang Mingqian found Jia Lian and relayed Xie Kun's message to him.

After Jia Lian came back, he told the ancestor about it, and the two of them spent a long time, and they didn't come up with any fame.

Dongping Wangfu and Jiafu are also considered world friends, but over the years, in addition to etiquette exchanges, there is actually not much friendship.

However, there is no grudge between the two families, and it seems that it has not reached the level where it is necessary to rectify Jiafu.

Now, with the crown prince in charge of the country, some things that were originally hidden behind the scenes have gradually surfaced.

It turned out that behind the crown prince, there was actually the shadow of the three feudatories supporting it.

However, the news of the rebellion of the three feudatories has been heard in recent years, and since last year's bandit raid in the south, such rumors have become even more common.

Today, even some of the less high-ranking officials seem to think that the rebellion of the three feudatories will be sooner or later.

This makes the matter of the three feudal clans supporting the crown prince a little weird.

Could it be that the three feudatories really had no objection, so in order to show that they were loyal, they deliberately supported the crown prince?

So, what exactly does the emperor mean? Although the emperor's dragon body is not safe, it is still there after all.

Since the three feudatories support the crown prince, could it be the emperor's intention?

If it was the emperor's will, it seems that the three feudal clans would not be opposed.

If it weren't for the emperor's intentions, wouldn't the emperor and the crown prince not have the same mind?

Thinking of this, Jia Lian was a little afraid to think about it.

At this moment, Xing'er came again with Zhang Decai.

"Squad Leader Zhang, is there anything urgent?"

Not long ago, Zhang Decai sent Liu Fushan to Jia Lian to send a letter from Jia Zhi. Unexpectedly, after such a while, Zhang Decai came again.

"Head Jia, someone is waiting for you in Yedu Ju and wants to ask you to come over to meet."

"Who?"

"His Highness Chang'an." 10810
