The three of them entered the living room and sat down as guests.

As soon as he sat down, before Wang Ziteng could speak, there was some movement outside the door.

A maid of the Wang family rushed to the door, she entered the door and saluted the two masters first, and then went to the side of the third lord Wang Zisheng, and whispered in her ear: "Master... The girl was clamoring to go north with you, but Madame couldn't hold back, so she hurriedly asked me to come and ask you to get an idea. ”

Wang Zisheng frowned, he only gave birth to a girl, who was doted on in the past, so he developed a strange temperament.

I didn't expect my daughter to be clamoring to go to heaven now? In front of outsiders, the prince got up, and said to the prince on the side: "Brother, I will leave tomorrow, the people below don't know anything, and I will make trouble for a batch of South China Sea snuff bottles, I will go and see." ”

Wang Ziteng looked anxious when he saw Wang Zisheng, waved his hand, and let him go down. Jia Lian, as a junior, saw that Wang Zisheng was leaving, so he also got up and saw him off on his seat.

When Wang Zisheng walked out with the maid, Wang Ziteng stroked his beard with a smile and called Jia Lian to sit down.

Brother Wang Zisheng left, there are some things that he said to Jia Lian that it was just more convenient. Wang Ziteng said: "Since you went south last year, you and I are still the first time to see each other, and now we are stable in the Shenji Battalion?" ”

Jia Lian replied: "There has always been nothing wrong in the Shenji Battalion, and there are 12,000 people in the full number, but there are less than 5,000 people, so it is really a good place to go." And when my nephew entered the Shenji camp, he was reminded by Governor Feng of a few words, and now the officials and officials have recognized it all, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

Wang Ziteng said with a smile: "I also know Feng Tang, there are some contacts on weekdays, he should take a note of you." Now that the will of the imperial court has come down, I really can't transfer you to the Beijing camp anymore, and you can rest assured that you will be on duty in the Shenji camp. Now that the north is restless, if there is a chance, when you go north to make contributions in the future. ”

Wang Ziteng's last few words have already said to Ningfu Jia Jing yesterday that Wang Ziteng has been promoted to the capital of nine provinces, and he can open a government in the north and build a government, and he is extremely powerful, these words are really credible.

However, Jia Lian didn't buy Wang Ziteng's painting cake, and just said in an urn voice: "The second uncle is right, but who would have expected so much in the future." I came to the door this time to thank my second uncle for interceding in the military department last year, I should have come to the door a long time ago, but at that time the holy decree was issued, I was busy going down to Jiangnan, and after I came back, I was busy for a few days because of the entry matter, so I didn't come until today. ”

There was a long gift box in the living room, and the rest of the gifts brought by Jia Lian were accepted by the concierge, but this gift box was brought in by him.

After Jia Lian finished speaking, he walked over and opened the gift box.

Inside is an ancient sword, which still has the advantage of blowing hair and breaking hair. This sword was bought by Jia Lian when he was in Hangzhou, and he re-hung the sword frontier, which really wasted a lot of effort.

Wang Ziteng is the martial artist of the Jingying Festival, and Jia Lian feels that it is very suitable to send a sword.

Wang Ziteng also got up and came over to take a look, although he is a martial artist, he has not been on the battlefield for many years, and he really doesn't have much joy about swords and knives and other weapons. However, thinking of Jia Lian's thoughts, he still drew his sword and made a few strokes.

The sword was unsheathed, the cold light was pressing, and he had to praise him.

In the middle of the sound, Wang Ziteng slowly closed his sword. For a while, he was a little sad, and sighed: "I have been in the palace to see the emperor in the past few days, and now the Rakshasa soldiers have repeatedly violated the border, and I have to return to the north for two years this time, and I can't really use it..."

Wang Ziteng didn't know that in the Red Mansion, he went north for many years, and finally died on the way back to Beijing.

The sadness was fleeting, the prince took the sword, and led Jia Lian to sit back down, he still had something to say.

There are two kinds of court officials, Beijing officials and foreign officials.

Including the Beijing officials, they can always know the movements of the imperial court, but there are few times to make contributions. Foreign officials are outside, although it is easy to make contributions, but there is less control over the movements of the imperial court, and most of the foreign officials who send ice and charcoal to Beijing every year are to seek peace of mind - otherwise, they should be 'going to the yamen to point and behead at the entrance of the city at dusk', and they don't even know the real reason behind it, isn't it bitter.

Although Wang Ziteng has an official residence, he is about to leave Beijing, and he is also a little relieved about Kyoto, thinking that he will find someone to take care of him in the court.

Among the four closest families in Jinling, not to mention the Xue family who sat at the bottom of the long row, there is no Xue family in the first room in Kyoto. Although there are still two marquis in the contemporary Shi family, they are all ancestral titles that have not been demoted because of the emperor's grace, and the two marquis do not know how to pull the family business, not what high-ranking officials, and even the Shi family's family has been declining more and more recently, and they all rely on finding the Xue family to ask for silver.

As for the Jia family, the situation is similar to that of the Shi family, although they are richer, but the title of Duke of the ancestral country has been lost early, and now they are just gnawing at the old book.

However, there is one difference between the Jia family and the other two, it is not that the second master of the Jia family became an official, but that in the early years, the Jia family sent the eldest girl Yuanchun into the palace through the contacts of the four kings and eight princes, and now Yuanchun is the time to be favored.

And Yuan Chun is from Mrs. Wang of the second room of Rongguo Mansion, and she is the niece of Wang Ziteng. Yuan Chun and Wang Ziteng are one outside and the other inside, just helping each other.

Wang Ziteng put the sword given by Jia Lian on the coffee table beside him to show his affection, and then he accepted the smile of the elders who appeared at that time, and Jia Lian said:

"Lian'er... I won't hide it from you, because since you married Sister Feng, I treat you as my own son-in-law - it is the will of the saint to transfer you to the Shenji camp, and it must not be changed when you are idle.

Although there were only the two of them in the hall, Wang Ziteng still arched his hand in the direction of the imperial city first.

Halfway through the conversation, he changed the topic, and Fang continued to say to Jia Lian in a deep voice: "However, your eldest sister has entered the palace, and now she is favored, if you don't want to waste it, I can find her to help you when I go north, and let you leave the Shenji camp." ”

Jia Lian is only a fourth-grade official, although Emperor Yonglong attacked the Jia family, how could he put a mere Jia Lian in his eyes. When Emperor Yonglong is obsessed with Yuan Chunzheng, if Yuan Chun blows the pillow wind, it will definitely be more effective than King Beijing's water dissolving.

Seeing that Jia Lian was silent for a while, Wang Ziteng continued: "Your eldest girl entered the palace, and I also became a relative as an uncle, as long as the saint still has a need for me, your eldest girl's status is stable, what are you worried about?" Judging from the fact that she is favored at this time, she will not be able to be promoted to the position of concubine in the future, and she will be called a mother. ”

Treat people with sex, and when the fragrance fades away, Jia Lian has no intention of causing trouble to the eldest sister Yuanchun... He shook his head and said, "The second uncle will not talk about this matter again, I am most impatient with this." What if I become the capital of the Shenji Battalion, when the emperor really wants to deal with me one day, I will just hang the seal and leave. ”

In the past few days, I have heard people nagging him everywhere about adjusting the Shen Ji Camp, which made Jia Lian almost start thinking about not wanting to enter the Rongguo Mansion, which is really boring!

Wang Ziteng had his own way to ask the Jia family to contact Yuanchun to help him pay attention to Emperor Yonglong's movements, but at this time, he did not persuade Jia Lian again, but frowned and said: "How can you be born like your housekeeper, you are also an unenterprising bastard..."

……

Seeing that the words were not speculative, Jia Lian felt that the gift had been reached, and the Wang family was busy, so he didn't want to stay any longer.

The prince Teng didn't keep him much, and went out of the house to call someone to send Jia Lian out of the house.

Although he reprimanded Jia Lian, Wang Ziteng didn't have too much anger in his heart, probably because he was disappointed in Jia Lian's appointment as an official last year. Seeing Jia Lian leaving, the prince turned back to the house, picked up the sword in his hand again, drew the sword and made an envoy in the hall.

The third prince of the Wang family came after a while, and when he saw that Jia Lian was already gone, he didn't care.

But at this time, the cold light in the hall was shining, and the sword in Wang Ziteng's hand knew at a glance that it had been bladed. Wang Zisheng couldn't help but shrink his head when he saw this scene, and said cautiously on the side: "Brother... This is? ”

The prince stopped, and when he saw that Wang Zisheng was so timid, he was inevitably dissatisfied, and said directly: "Zisheng can know, just now I was dancing the sword in front of Jia Lian, and his expression was not half moved!" ”

Wang Zisheng has never argued with his brother, nor does he think much about it, so he said yes right away.

Brother for decades, Wang Ziteng also knew that the prince had a temper, he put his sword together again, looked up and sighed and asked: "Now in the eyes of outsiders, the Jia family is frustrated, after I go north, which prince do you say will find Jia Lian first?" ”
