Obviously, Jia Zheng is confident in himself.

Mother Jia's words to let the eldest master help him made him a little unhappy, but it was just difficult to speak.

Seeing that the eldest master asked about the day of the tolerance, Jia Zheng was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "The request of the imperial court requires me to set off within three days!" ”

"That's a pity!"

The eldest man said with regret: "I still have about ten days left on my vacation, and I can't go with the second child!" ”

"What are you talking about, boss?"

Mother Jia was unhappy, and said angrily: "Your second brother finally went on a trip, even if you are not in a hurry to help, at least you can go to Tongzhou together, right?" ”

"This can't be done!"

The eldest man smiled and spoke, but his tone was unquestionable: "I still have things to deal with here, so let's wait for the end of the holiday to go to Tongzhou!" ”

"Boss, you ......"

was dismissed by the eldest master in front of so many people, Jia Mu's face was very ugly, and she sneered: "Okay, boss, your wings are hard, right?" ”

Tut!

Not to mention how familiar this posture is, Jia Mu is going to oppress people with filial piety again.

"What do you think, second child?"

didn't give Jia's mother a chance to make a splash, the eldest man hurriedly pulled Jia Zheng in, and he directly dealt with Jia's mother's ardent care.

"Mother, let my son go to Tongzhou first, and when he is familiar with the situation, can he help his eldest brother!"

Jia Zheng looked earnest and confident; "Besides, the river and the local yamen are not under the same jurisdiction, even if the eldest brother wants to help, he may not be able to help!"

"Boss, is that really the case?"

Although Jia's mother is still knowledgeable, she has limited knowledge about the affairs of local officialdom, and she can't help but ask the eldest master when she is relieved.

"Old lady, how important the river is, it is related to the benefits of the canal, that is, if the imperial court wants to intervene, it has to be weighed, let alone a small Tongzhou governor?"

The eldest lord had no choice but to speak, of course this is not the case, although the river yamen is strong, but as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and it always has to give three points of face to the yamen where the canal passes.

Otherwise, the local yamen secretly made some moves, not to say such a big thing as cutting off the canal, at least it could make the canal yamen uncomfortable for a while, and even affect the luck of the canal, which is not a joke.

As long as the local yamen is strong enough, it is not very difficult to meddle in the affairs of the canal in the territory.

"Okay, the second child will go to Tongzhou first, and the boss will hurry over after he has dealt with the affairs of the house!"

Jia's mother didn't know the doorway, but she was relieved to see her youngest son's confident face, and she didn't persecute the eldest master again, which can be regarded as revealing this time.

……

I don't know if I am worried that the eldest lord will share his credit, for fear that the eldest lord will walk with him, which will stain his career, Jia Zheng refused to stay in the house for a moment, and after lunch that day, he took more than a dozen small servants to accompany him, and a few Qing guests who were said to be good at water conservancy left the house and went out of the city.

Unlike Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, who were full of joy, Dafang's father and son were not optimistic about the second political child's trip to Tongzhou at all.

"With the ability of the second uncle, I'm afraid this time things will be worse!"

After a busy day of mundane affairs, Lian Er was tired and just rested, and after dinner, he took Wang Xifeng to the East Courtyard, and after meeting, he spoke unceremoniously.

"Second master, don't talk nonsense!"

Wang Xifeng was startled, and hurriedly interrupted: "If the old lady hears it, there will be no good fruit for the second master to eat!" ”

Of course, what Lian Er said about the second master of politics was bad, she didn't believe it.

Speaking of which, Wang Xifeng was also influenced by public opinion in the house,

Ever since she married into the Rong Mansion, she heard that her ears were full of how the second room was and how the second master was, and she was brainwashed after a long time.

Even if it is the opposite of the second room at this time, Wang Xifeng still thinks that the second master is a powerful character.

Lian Er sneered, but he didn't say anything unpleasant.

has been in the officialdom for more than half a year, what kind of character is the second uncle, if he can't see it anymore, he doesn't need to mix in the officialdom, it's better to go back to the house as soon as possible, so as not to be killed by the officialdom in the future and don't know what's going on, then it's called unlucky.

If the second uncle is a powerful person, how can he sit on the cold bench in the Ministry of Industry for 20 years?

There is an old lady who is eccentric, and all the connections and resources in the house are tilted towards the second uncle, as long as the official is not so incompetent and confused, even if he has been in the process for 20 years, he can still get a fourth-grade official position.

The eldest master and his second brother are clear examples, and the two of them entered the officialdom and did not take the right path of the imperial examination. In addition, without the help of many family resources, how difficult is it to be promoted?

But what is the result, but in a few months, the eldest lord and him were both promoted, and relying on the old man's gang of old friends, few dared to forcibly pick the fruit.

Ability and inability, the higher at a glance.

"It's not bad, that's the second political thing!"

The eldest lord waved his hand, and he didn't have a good airway; "What should be considered now should be who gave the second political brother the opportunity to show his face?"

After all, the impression of Jia Zheng's incompetence has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the whole Ministry of Industry, as long as he is not a fool or wants to completely turn his face with Rongguofu, he will not arrange actual tasks for the second political worker.

Is the task of the Ministry of Industry idle?

It's okay to do a bad job, if you fail to complete the project within the specified time, once you are noticed by the boss above, the second executor of the political boss is unlucky, but the big guy in the Ministry of Engineering doesn't want to escape punishment.

No one will be happy to put themselves in because of the incompetence of others.

Therefore, the second political elder has been sitting on the cold bench in the Ministry of Industry for 20 years, although he has blocked the road of many people, he has never leaked.

Isn't it good to say that it's not good to do more wrong than to do more!

The second political elder has been an idle official for nearly 20 years, so naturally there will be no big mistakes in him, but he has no credit, but he has only been promoted to a half-grade official rank in 20 years, and it can only be said that this guy is too unsuccessful as an official, and even the qualification to boil up qualifications has been forcibly deprived.

"Master is saying that someone deliberately targeted the second uncle, or even Rongguo Mansion?"

Lian Er was not a fool and immediately reacted, and said in surprise: "Who is so vicious?" ”

"Not yet!"

The eldest lord waved his hand and said with a smile: "If it is really deliberately targeted, it will not be sent to Tongzhou, but directly sent to repair the Yellow River or the Huai River!" ”

Lian Er was speechless, but he shuddered when he thought that if the second uncle was sent to repair the Yellow River and the Huai River, he would shudder once the terrible consequences of the accident occurred.

Seeing that Lian Er's little white face turned whiter with fright, the eldest master opened his mouth and said with relief; "At the moment, it seems that the other party just wants to teach us a lesson, or to warn us, so there is a Tongzhou errand for the second political boss, I just hope that he will not do too badly, otherwise he will not be able to do it at that time!"

"That's the second uncle's business, and it has nothing to do with our big house!"

Relieved, Lian Er's expression gradually returned to normal, shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "This matter, in the end, I'm afraid I will have to trouble the old man to help the second uncle finish it!" ”

"Then it depends on how much the second child has paid, otherwise Lao Tzu will never wipe his ass!"

Seeing that Lian Er wanted to speak and stopped, seeing through his thoughts at a glance, the eldest man sneered: "When Lao Tzu is in Tongzhou, how can he care about how to make trouble in the house?" ”

"Don't, master, I'm afraid my son will suffer then!"

Lian Er hurriedly begged for mercy, and said with a wry smile: "In order to keep the second uncle's official position, the old lady is afraid that she won't mind letting her son lose his official position and resign!" ”

"Can't you, second master, the old lady would be so ruthless?"

Wang Xifenghua on the side was pale, although she didn't understand what the eldest master said to Lian Er just now, she couldn't help but feel cold, she didn't expect that there was something more serious behind.

Thinking that the old lady might force Lian Er to help and even ask him to lose his official position and resign for the sake of the second master, she was in a bad mood immediately.

"My second grandmother, you have been in the house for a few years, when have you ever seen the old lady have a good face for the big house, for the future of the second uncle, the old lady can do anything!"

Lian Er smiled bitterly, just taking the opportunity to educate a wave of Wang Xifeng, saving her from thinking that she could relax as the wife of the house, and even mixed up with the second wife from time to time, so it was unacceptable.

"No, why does something happen in the second room, so you have to rely on the big room?"

Wang Xifeng was angry and said dissatisfied: "That big house will not have to take care of the second room for a lifetime in the future!" ”

You're really right, as long as Mother Jia is still in the day, don't expect to get rid of the second room.

"It's not that bad yet!"

The eldest man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Besides, it's good to let the second political brother suffer, lest he really think that he is a brilliant genius, but he has been depressed and unable to stretch his talent because he has been excluded by his colleagues!" ”

Laugh at!

Lian Er couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said helplessly: "Master, it's better not to be too relaxed!" ”

"Do you have to be sad all day long?"

The old man rolled his eyes, and he didn't have a good airway; "Don't punish yourself with the faults of others, if something happens, I'll talk about it later, Lao Tzu is just reminding you now, don't be forced to run by the old lady when the time comes, and be caught off guard!"

Lian Er left with Depression and Wang Xifeng, and after the young couple went back, they naturally discussed it again, and finally Depression found that they really had nothing to do.

The word filial piety is bigger than the sky!

They can only pin their hopes on the eldest master, and at the same time pay close attention to the situation on the second master's side, Tongzhou is not far from the capital, and the situation there can be easily investigated, so that they don't know anything when their eyes are dark.

The eldest man is still living a comfortable life in the past, teasing the little girl every day, and at the same time slowly arranging some things after leaving.

The finances of the East Courtyard have basically been disconnected from the government, so they can be regarded as self-contained.

Without financial entanglements, the status of the eldest lord is naturally quite transcendent, and now the eldest lord is an official, it is very convenient to do things, and he will not be constrained by many from the house.

The private treasury in the hands of the eldest lord has basically been slowly transferred to a hidden Zhuangzi, and what remains in the east courtyard is just some antique ornaments, which looks rich and noble.
