In the Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng and Li Shouzhong are divided into priorities, and there are no small servants and maids to serve.

Only two people poured tea and drank each other.

After a few more breaths, Jia Zheng put down the teacup, looked at Li Shouzhong and said solemnly: "Brother Shouzhong, is this matter confirmed?" ”

Seeing Jia Zheng say this, Li Shouzhong also put down the teaglass, sighed, and said: "Whether it's sure or not, but the news has come out, this matter is basically a foregone conclusion, and it is difficult to change, which is also the best ending." ”

Outside the hall, hearing the words of his mentor Li Shouzhong, Jia Zhu and Jia Qiong were both stunned, and they were both a little confused before they heard this preface.

Immediately, Jia Zhu directly went to the outside of the hall and shouted loudly: "Father, Zhu'er and Brother Qiong got up to meet the teacher." ”

Hearing the voice of Jia Zhu's report outside the house, Jia Zheng looked at Li Shouzhong and smiled and said: "Brother Shouzhong, you two disciples, when I heard that you were coming, I immediately came to visit you, and I haven't seen me yet, so you can see how you respect you." ”

Seeing Jia Zheng say this, with a jealous look on his face, Li Shouzhong couldn't help but smile, and the solemnity on his face faded a lot. Then he waved his hand again and again and said with a smile: "Cun Zhou, you just make fun of me like this, no matter how much you respect me, they are all from your Jia family." ”

Seeing that Li Shouzhong's face had lightened a lot, Jia Zheng also laughed, and then said to the door: "Come in, it's not too late." ”

After speaking, he looked at Li Shouzhong and smiled again and said, "Although this is the Jia family, isn't this half of your son?" If what you say is not bad, then let Zhu'er marry your family after the first month, so that you can leave with peace of mind.

And this Brother Qiong is your real closed disciple, Master, Master, Master and Master. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Shouzhong was angry, funny, and a little relieved.

couldn't help but stretch out his hand and point at Jia Zheng a few times, and said with a smile: "Don't say good things to make me happy, the two of us have known each other for so many years, what do we not know about each other." ”

When the two entered the hall, they stopped chatting.

Seeing this, Jia Zhu and Jia Qiong both stepped forward to greet the two of them.

After the ceremony, under Jia Zheng's signal, he sat down and started.

Jia Zheng looked at a few people in the audience one by one, and then said to Jia Zhu: "Zhu'er, you don't have to go to your master anymore before the year. After the year, your master may need to be transferred to the Jinling Guozi to supervise the sacrificial wine. After the New Year, you will go to propose marriage, so that your Lord Taishan can relax. ”

After laughing for a while, Jia Zhu took the opportunity to ask: "Teacher, why did you transfer you to Jinling Guozijian, you have selected a lot of candidates for the country over the years, and no one has ever made a move on you, why this time?" ”

When Li Shouzhong heard this, he glanced at Jia Zheng, his eyes slightly signaled to stop, and then looked at Jia Zhu and said:

"It's nothing, it's just some struggles in the court, although I was good friends with your father before, but I haven't accepted any disciples, and the court is not too worried, after all, I still have a lot of nominal disciples.

However, this time I accepted the three of you at once, except for Zizheng, who is the son of Ji Yu and belongs to Wenchen, you and Qiong'er are both children of the Jia family. However, Ji Yu is indeed a clear stream, and it is still a pragmatic clear stream.

And Zizheng is not a simple Confucian student, but also likes some military book formations, although this is not widely circulated, but there are many people who know it.

Therefore, these Wenchen factions all think that I want to be close to Wuxun, or to your Jia family.

Some political disputes are not enough to worry about, but I just want to be cleaner for the teacher. ”

Hearing what the teacher said, Jia Qiong had some doubts on her face, this is not like a teacher.

The master and apprentice are no different from their families, and they report good news to others, and never report worries to others.

Now he started with worry, presumably hiding something, either hiding news that the two of them couldn't know, or hiding something bigger.

A drink and a peck, there is a fixed number, and there must be a cause for the cause of the orchid.

In previous lives, I also learned about time, place, people, causes, processes, and results. These are the six elements of a narrative, but they are also the six elements of most things, whether it's a case or a war, or even a political dispute.

Now the result is that the teacher is going to serve as the prince of Jinling to supervise the sacrificial wine, this is the result, so there must be a cause.

There must have been a lot of intricacies that led to such a struggle in the end. But what kind of benefits this result can bring to the Jia family, Jia Qiong doesn't know.

While listening to a few people chatting, I couldn't help but think carefully about the major events that have happened in the past two years.

Transferred to Jinling, there were not many things that happened in Jinling at the beginning, but there were a few, natural disasters and man-made disasters had nothing to do with the Jia family, only the time of the examination Xiucai, there was actually an inspector who went to Jinling, is it because of this.

I thought of what Jia Zhu said to himself, the Jia family was easy to be targeted by Wenchen in Shenjing, so he went to Jinling for the imperial examination.

is because the Jia family is deeply rooted in Jinling, from the top to the mansion, down to the clerks, and even the Jinling Jinyi Guards are more or less biased towards the Jia family.

That is the emperor and the cabinet want to target the Jia family, and remember what Yuan Chun said to him, Wang Zi Teng wanted to ask for the Jingying Festival envoy, and this time he suggested that Yuan Chun enter the palace, but the original book said that Wang Zi Teng later inspected the nine sides on behalf of the sky, and he also separated from the Jia family.

If this is the case, Wang Ziteng may have taken refuge in the emperor early, but he did not tell the Jia family, maybe the Jia family also knew, so he has not been recommended as the envoy of the Jingying Festival.

But he couldn't understand how the soldiers of the Beijing camp were controlled after something like that happened to the Jia family, and Jinghua was gone.

Let's not talk about this matter first, if the prince Tengzhen takes refuge in the emperor, then the teacher will go south, and it must be the emperor's order to enter the palace with Yuan Chun, and it will be passed out.

Yuan Chun is still young, and the emperor will naturally not be for his femininity, which must be a political compromise.

Since it is a political compromise, it is inevitable that several parties must have gains, otherwise others will definitely stop it, and Li Shouzhong will step down as the prince of Shenjing to supervise the sacrificial wine, and the only one who can benefit is the Wenchen, whether the Wenchen is the imperial family or the various parties below.

If this is the case, what the emperor is asking for must be the military power of the Jingying Jiedu envoy, but what kind of conditions can make the Jia family give up the military power.

There is only one benefit that can be thought of now, that is, Li Shouzhong goes south, which can ensure the stability of Jia Zhu's next stage of examination. But this condition is too small, and it is 108,000 miles worse than the military power.

If there are no immediate interests, they must be long-term interests.

Is it really as Yuan Chun said, when Yuan Chun is older, give the Jia family the status of a relative of the emperor, and then give Jia Zhu a smooth future, so that they can be each other's arms.

In the original book, Yuanchun did become a concubine, but thinking of Jia Zhu's early death, could it be that the emperor made any promise to kill Jia Zhu's life, then there was no need to fulfill it.

It can't be, the emperor won't be so stupid. If there is a little rumor of this kind of thing, the emperor will definitely not be treated by the ministers, whether it is Wenchen or Wuxun.

After thinking about it for a long time, I only thought that I had no clue except for being able to protect the three of us in the next stage of their careers. I couldn't help but pick up the teacup in front of me, sipped a few gently, shook my head, and let go of my thoughts.

When the three of them saw Jia Qiong shaking his head, they couldn't help but glance at each other. Li Shouzhong looked at a few people, and then asked: "Qiong'er, just now your senior brother said that you were the head of the high school case this time, and you have won the fame of Xiucai, why do you want to shake your head." ”

Hearing what the teacher said, Jia Qiong couldn't help but be stunned, just thinking about the matter, but she didn't hear a few people talking about this.

However, this kind of thing praised by others can be completed with just a few polite words, so he said: "Teacher, this is Brother Zhu, deliberately praising the apprentice, the apprentice's knowledge, don't you know it, teacher." ”

A few people laughed and talked again, and Jia Zhengsui said: "Okay, you have also met your teacher, go first, I have something to tell your teacher alone." ”

Hearing that Jia Zheng had issued an order to expel the guest, Jia Zhu and Jia Qiong could only leave. They obviously didn't want the two of them to know about what they were talking about, so they had to find another way.

I am still too young, and I am not a member of the Jia family, from the previous time in Yangzhou, this time. They may make it easier for themselves for the sake of the Jia family, but they will never treat it as their own.

In the future, the Jia family will not need to come more for the time being, and it will be useless to come over reluctantly, except for Jia Zhu who takes a slight fancy to himself, others will not fancy him now.

After thinking about it, I thought that I had a certain amount of capital, and I would be ten years old next year, and I would be thirteen or fourteen years old. I also have some capital in hand, and some things can be done.

Out of the hall, Jia Zhu looked at the pensive Jia Qiong and said, "Brother Qiong, since I returned home, I haven't seen the third brother yet, why don't you accompany me on a trip." ”

Hearing Jia Zhu say this, Jia Qiong would not refuse, and Fang Cai also thought about saying goodbye to Jia Zhu, since this is the case, it would not hurt to accompany him for a walk.
