The Zongren Mansion is one of the official offices of the imperial court.

Its main responsibility is to manage the royal affairs, such as pedigree, knighthood, rewards and punishments, and sacrifices.

Such as sending and receiving documents, registering yellow and red books, imprisoning criminals, educating the children of the royal family, etc., these internal affairs of the royal family are the responsibilities of the Zongren Mansion.

The Zongren Mansion is generally headed by a prince. However, this general manager is basically only in name.

A large number of specific affairs are mainly managed by two deputy directors.

According to the custom of the Daitoku Dynasty, one of the two deputy governors was a member of the royal family, and the other was a non-royal member from the outside.

The current deputy director Wang belongs to people from the outside.

There are basically certain rules for things such as managing the pedigree, registering the imperial register, and sacrificing.

Things like knighthood, rewards and punishments, and educating the children of the royal clan are more tricky.

Royal, different from others. Even the world belongs to other people, and you are an outsider to manage others?

Of course, there are also advantages to serving in the Zongren Mansion. One of them is that the status is relatively high.

The status of the Zongren Mansion is higher than that of the six departments. If you do a good job in the deputy head of the Zongren Mansion, you will at least go to the Sixth Department to be a waiter, and if you are lucky, it is possible to be a scholar.

However, this is only a theoretical possibility. In fact, very few people can stay in this position for long.

Many people did not wait for the chairs to sit hot, and called the royal people to run away.

Regarding the information provided by Niu Jizong, Jia Min did not take it to heart.

In his opinion, it was very unlikely that he would be the deputy head of the Zongren Mansion.

First of all, the emperor will not use him easily.

Secondly, the status of the Zongren Mansion is relatively high. Their own grades and qualifications are not enough.

Again. His own ideas may not be recognized by the emperor.

In the end, I don't want to be an official at all. There's no need to mess with the royal guys.

Jia Mansion repaired the Provincial Family Courtyard for such a major event, he was reluctant to go to Zhang Luo, and would he go to the Zongren Mansion to be thankless?

He governed Bu Kui well, but in the end, he didn't do well, let alone govern the Zongren Mansion.

Besides, I have my own big things to do, so why waste time here?

At six o'clock in the evening, Jia Min came to Qinjiazhuang and arrived at Qin Keqing's mother's house.

As usual, only Shou'er, Baozhu, and Ruizhu are accompanied. Seeing Jia Min coming, they all went out, and only Qin Keqing and Jia Min were left in the house, as well as the children.

"Keqing, I miss me."

Jia Min hugged Qin Keqing.

Qin Keqing glanced out of the door and saw that there was no one, so he snuggled in Jia Min's arms with confidence.

"The slave family is also worried about you. I usually dream, I often dream about it. I just woke up and looked at it, and I couldn't help but feel disappointed. ”

"Someday we'll be together."

"I don't dare to hope for it, as long as I can see each other a few times a year, I will be content. Come and see the kids. ”

Usually, the children are taken by the wet nurse, but this time, in order to make it easier to meet Jia Min, Qin Keqing made an excuse for the wet nurse to leave. Tomorrow morning, the nurse will come again.

The child is placed on a kang and wrapped in a satin quilt.

The little white and red face is pink. The little mouth moved from time to time, snoring softly, and was already asleep.

As soon as he saw the child, Jia Min's heart swelled with warmth, and he couldn't help but touch the soft and tender little face.

When he touched the little mouth, the child instinctively sucked his fingers into his mouth, making Jia Min's fingers tickle.

"Do you look like you or like me?"

Jia Min gently hugged Keqing and asked in a low voice.

"It's so small, where can you see it. However, looking at that brain, it looks a little like you. According to others, they have more eyes than I do. But I didn't realize it myself. ”

"yes, it's only been less than two months, so it's hard to see. It has to grow to seventeen or eighteen before it can be finalized. ”

"Guess what he caught when he caught Zhou?"

Qin Keqing showed a narrow smile.

"What did you catch?"

"It's ridiculous to say, it's a little similar to Second Uncle Bao, and the one he catches is rouge gouache, could it be that he will also be an infatuation seed in the future?"

Qin Keqing's tone was actually a little worried.

grabbed the rouge gouache, and couldn't help but make Jia Min cry and laugh a little.

"But you don't have to worry, kid, you're just curious about those new things. If he thinks something is interesting, what is close to him, he catches something, and it is arbitrary to judge his life just by catching Zhou. ”

"I think the same way, children, always teach him something, he learns, but in the future, teach him well, and the last count."

"Exactly. Teaching Second Brother Bao like his ancestor and mother, even if he grabbed a sword when he was a child, it was useless. In the future, I will naturally teach him well. ”

"I'm afraid I don't have a chance."

Qin Keqing said, his expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

"Keqing doesn't have to worry, I naturally have a way, and we will stay together for a long time in the future."

I couldn't talk about this topic for a while, so Qin Keqing wouldn't talk about it.

Jia Min took her hand, and the two sat back in place.

"I'm wronged, I feel very sorry for you to work so hard."

"It's hard work, and I'm willing to do it. Watching him grow up day by day, I felt hope in my heart. It's like I'm with you all the time. ”

Qin Keqing is charming and delicate on the outside, gentle on the outside, but on the inside, he is a very assertive person.

Just giving birth to a child shows that she is a decisive and brave person. Without considerable courage, you would not have done such a resolute thing.

This matter not only took great risks, but also had a lot of psychological pressure, but she still did it.

This made Jia Min feel a little sorry for her, and also strengthened her determination to give her a home in the future.

As soon as he thought of this, he felt a sense of responsibility that seemed to drive him to carry out his plan.

However, now he can only try to comfort Keqing, and he still can't tell her the detailed plan.

It's not that he is worried that Keqing is unreliable, but he is unwilling to increase the burden on Keqing and make her worry more about herself.

"You really don't want to be an official anymore?"

"I don't want to."

"That's good, save yourself all day long, thankless. As long as you are safe and sound and be a rich idler, I will have less worries in my heart. ”

"Keqing just needs to take care of herself and her children, and you don't have to worry about me."

"I don't want to worry about it, but I always can't help thinking about it in my heart, often thinking about it, I feel redundant, but I can't rest assured."

"I often think about Keqing in my heart."

"Then don't worry about others?"

Keqing was a little coquettish and seemed to be jealous.

"Well, I'm thinking about this, but I'm thinking about Keqing more."

Jia Min didn't lie all about this, but Keqing's position in his heart was indeed very important. However, none of the other women seem to be unimportant.

If he is asked to distinguish which is important and which is secondary, for a while, he really can't tell the difference.

Everyone has their own merits and is good at winning, only the characteristics are different, and there is no distinction between upper and lower priorities.

The reason why he wanted to go to Beihai and establish an independent kingdom by himself was not only disappointed in the emperor and tired of the ruthlessness and moodiness of the imperial court, but also an important reason was to give Keqing a home in the future.

As long as Keqing is in Jiafu, the two of them can only maintain the current underground relationship. Keqing can't have a name, and the child will be more embarrassed in the future.

Some problems may not be apparent now, but there is no guarantee that they will not occur in the future.

In case something goes wrong with Keqing and the child in the future, Jia Min will find it difficult to accept.

He had to put Keqing and the child under his protection.

The current relationship between the two is actually dangerous.

Such trysts are actually full of risks. If we don't solve this problem completely in the future, we will always meet in such a way, and maybe one time, the matter will be revealed.

Once the matter is revealed, it will be a disastrous consequence for them, especially for Keqing.

Now Jia Min has no official position and no position, and there are still people who are unwilling to let him go.

He is the prince's life-saving benefactor, and the prince is still rectifying him behind his back, let alone others?

Whether it is the emperor or the crown prince, their thinking and behavior logic are always different from others.

They hope that there will be capable courtiers to help them solve their problems and provide them with their own motivation.

But if the courtiers are too capable, they are jealous in their hearts. Fear that the courtiers threatened their authority and position.

Jia Min is tired of playing games with them now.

"In these two days, I will return to Bukui, and then go overseas, and it may be a long time before I return. You're at home, take care of yourself, and wait for me to come back. ”

As soon as he heard Jia Min say that he was going to leave again, Qin Keqing couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.

Although she also knew that this would be the case, it was still a little uncomfortable once she faced this situation.

Unconsciously, tears remained.

"I knew you were going to have to leave sooner or later. It's a pity that when I came back once, I could only leave in a hurry. That's it, just go. Even at home, it's hard to see each other. ”

"I'm also very reluctant to you. If possible, even if it is to accompany you every day, I am willing. Helpless to make people, there are always some things that are helpless. There are always things to do. ”

"I know you're not a child for long. I just hope that you, no matter where you go, you still have our mother and son in your heart. ”

In order not to make Jia Min uncomfortable, Ke Qing also forced a happy face. Jia Min also tried his best to comfort and said countless good words.

When the love is strong, it is inevitable to warm it up.

Jia Min was reluctant, but he was afraid that something would go wrong overnight here, so he left when it was time.

Keqing was also reluctant to leave, and was forced by the situation, so he had to be careful, and finally didn't dare to be too careless.

sent Jia Min to the door, and talked for a while before letting Jia Min leave.

Looking at Jia Min's back and disappearing into the night, I couldn't help but think of the first time the two met at the door.

I've traveled through endless time and space to meet you here.
