Chapter 20: Exploring Daiyu at Night
When Jia Jue left the Zhenguo Mansion, it was already dark, there were few pedestrians on the street, the evening breeze blew away the last trace of heat, the cool evening breeze blew on the body was very comfortable, and a team of people rode horses and swords to escort Jia Jue slowly towards Xicheng.
Just now, Jia Jue met several members of the same noble family in the Zhenguo Mansion, including Liu Fang, Duke of Liguo, Chen Ruiwen, Duke of Qi, Hereditary Second Class Bo Ma Shang of the Duke of Zhiguo, and Xie Qiong, the Hereditary First Class of the Marquis of Dingcheng.
In addition to Zhenguo Bull Jizong, only Xie Qiong and the Jia family have the closest relationship among these people, because the father and son of their family have been promoted by Jia Daishan for two generations, so Xie Qiong is very enthusiastic about himself, and said that he will find himself to drink tomorrow, he is currently serving in the fifth military camp, leading a battalion of 3,000 elite soldiers.
Obviously, they have already made an appointment, it seems that there is something important to discuss, it is estimated that it is related to the seizure of the heir, before this, Jia Jue and Niu Jizong chatted for most of the hour, from his words, it can be determined that the nobles support King Liang, and this matter has spread, no wonder the entire Xungui group will be purged by Zhu Wuxiang, who ascended the throne and called the emperor, such a reckless behavior I don't know if the king of Dongping County and the king of Nan'an County can know, or that this matter is instructed by them!
Today, Niu Jizong also told himself his thoughts, the reason why he chose to support Zhu Wucheng, the king of Liang who was in trouble, was because Zhu Wuxiang, the king of Shu, looked down on Xungui, everything relied on the civilian group, as for the military power in the hands of the nobles, he, or the civilian group did not take it to heart at all, they did not believe that the nobles dared to rebel, or, they were sure that the army would not follow the nobles to rebel, which made everyone feel a crisis, once Zhu Wuxiang ascended the throne, he was likely to accept the advice of the civilian group, Large-scale reduction of the country's soldiers and horses, and the military power from the hands of the noble generals, with the military and military power, to follow the path of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty.
Speaking of which, the reason why they made up their minds was also related to Jia Jue, the emperor's attitude yesterday made them smell a different breath, and they sensed that a big storm was coming.
Niu Jizong said that Zhu Wucheng, the king of Liang, may get out of the current predicament, as the old saying goes, the icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow, so they will express their goodwill to Zhu Wucheng when the situation is still unclear.
These speculations are likely to happen, because of their own shots, which led to a series of changes, first of all, the emperor has money, and he has enough confidence, and there is a high probability that he will be arbitrary in the next battle with the civil official group, and he will no longer play Tai Chi as in the past, trying to find opportunities when balancing various forces, once the deficit of more than 10 million taels is recovered in advance, Emperor Tianyou, who has a huge amount of more than 20 million taels, will really not put the civil official group in his eyes again, as long as the civil official group dares to force the palace, he will dare to be ruthless, It is even possible to remove a number of officials directly from the cabinet and the six ministries.
If so, what kind of impact will it have on the power structure of the Ming Dynasty?
Jia Jue suddenly found that he had changed the power structure of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately his own strength was not strong enough, and he could not take the initiative to grab the greatest benefits from this change in power.
Thinking of Niu Jizong and others who were discussing the so-called important matters at the moment, Jia Jue sighed slightly, the emperor has not made a clear statement, you are in a hurry to stand in line, even if you are civil officials, you are all nobles who hold military power, especially Niu Jizong has just served as the secretary of the military department, aren't you afraid that the emperor will have a bad heart?
Why did he say those words in the Moon Tower, he didn't say it to the emperor.
I hope they don't make any outrageous moves, otherwise they will be caught by the civil clique and overturned before the emperor is forced to go to the cliff by the civil clique.
Thinking of the chaotic situation that had been changed, Jia Jue had a headache, sighed secretly, flicked his horsewhip, and galloped towards Ningrong Street.
.....
Rongguo Mansion, Mengyunxuan.
Mama Wang instructed several mothers-in-law to use a wooden scoop to scoop the well water in the bucket and splash it on the brick floor, which was instructed by the imperial doctor in the palace, Daiyu was weak and could no longer put ice cubes in the house at night, so Jia's mother ordered people to wash away the heat on the ground with well water after sunset.
There were only Daiyu and Zijuan in the bedroom, and Daiyu was half-lying on the couch, holding a book in her hand, looking at it attentively.
Zijuan sat on a chair with a needlework basket on her lap and was cutting clothes.
After a while, Zijuan stood up, put the sewing basket on the table on the side, poured a bowl of tea, gently placed it on the coffee table by the high couch, and persuaded: "Girl, it's late, hurt your eyes carefully." ”
Daiyu's eyes were fixed on the book, "Got it." ”
Zijuan squinted her eyes to look out the window, paused, and said, "Why don't I let my wife go to see if the third master has come back?" ”
Daiyu put the book in her hand on the coffee table and glared at her, "You have a lot to do..."
Before he could say a word, Jia Jue's voice came from outside the window, "When are you going to be busy?" Mother Song, you go and tell Lin Zhixiao's family that you will send a few more mothers-in-law to help every day, and carry a few buckets of water. ”
"It's the third master who is here."
Zijuan laughed.
Daiyu was stunned at first, and immediately lay down to pick up the book she had put down earlier, and read it seriously.
Jia Jue opened the door curtain and walked in, followed by Xiangling with an obvious look of fear in her eyes, that day on the boat from Jia Jue after learning that he was going to ask Daiyu to teach her to read and write, today I took the time to ask the maid in the house about the cousin of the aunt's family, a circle of gossip down, but she was stunned, not to mention how she treated, just because of her was punished a lot of maids-in-law, including many housekeepers and daughters-in-law, I heard that even the second wife was punished, If she accidentally annoyed her, her small body couldn't withstand the toss, but she didn't dare to tell Jia Jue what was in her heart, so she could only come over hard.
Walking through the screen, Jia Jue saw Daiyu who was trying to read carefully, and Zijuan greeted him, "The third master is here, sit down." ”
Jia Jue nodded, leaned over and sat down on the other side of the high couch, and said with a smile: "Sister is still used to it?" ”
Daiyu stared at the book with her eyes, "It's okay, thank you for your concern." ”
Jia Jue smiled, "Sister, do you blame me for being late?" ”
Daiyu is silent, she is a sensitive and careful person, those subordinates talk behind their backs on weekdays, she also knows how they arrange themselves, she doesn't care about these, because she has nothing to do with them, what she cares about is the attitude of Jia Mu, Jia Yu and others, and now there is another Jia Jue, Wang Xifeng will come over and sit down if he has nothing to do, in addition to sending some food, drink and play, that is, some of the past events of Jiafu, especially about Jia Jue, and said that Jia Jue asked her to take care of herself, slowly, Jia Jue has a different status in her heart from the Yingchun sisters, and she is slightly different from Jia's mother.
Yesterday I heard that he had something to ask for himself, although his face was calm at the time, in fact, he was still a little excited in his heart, and he got up early this morning, but he didn't see him until the afternoon, and then asked Zijuan's mother Song Ma to ask only to know that Jia Jue went out early in the morning.
This made Daiyu feel depressed and sad at the same time, and he didn't take himself to heart at all.
At this time, Zijuan brought tea to Jia Jue and said with a smile: "The third master didn't say hello when he went out, in order to wait for you, our girl insisted on pushing the invitation of the three girls, so we waited for a day in vain!" ”
"You damn what nonsense!"
Daiyu suddenly blushed.
"I'm really busy today, I hope my sister will forgive me."
Jia Jue glanced at Zijuan with a smile, stood up and saluted Daiyu.
Daiyu's face turned red again, hesitated for a moment, stood up and gave Jia Jue a salute back, glanced at Xiangling standing behind him, and said, "What's the matter with you?" Hurry up and say, it's not too early. ”
Seeing this, Jia Jue laughed, "My sister should listen to what the three girls said, my brother and I don't read well, but this girl has a good understanding and is a good seedling for reading, and she knows that her sister is talented, so she specially brought her to apprentice." ”
Hearing this, Daiyu suddenly couldn't hold back her laughter, but she heard about Jia Jue's heroic deeds in the past, skipped school all day, took Jia Cong, Jia Huan and Jia Lan to climb trees and touch bird eggs, was beaten by the eldest master, and ran to the stable in a blink of an eye and secretly rode out of the house, if it wasn't for the halfway encounter Jia Zhen who came back from outside the city, it was likely to run out of Shenjing City.
Jia Jue smiled and glanced at Daiyu, "If my sister wants to laugh, there will be time in the future." ”
As soon as these words came out, Daiyu suddenly blushed, glared at Jia Jue, and laughed, "When someone is rare!" ”
As he spoke, he turned his back, picked up a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and laughed secretly.
I glanced at Zijuan inexplicably, and found that she was also snickering there, I really didn't understand what made the two of them excited, tsk, it is estimated that when they are no longer there, a few girls took the opportunity to arrange themselves, and it seems that they have to take time to interrogate the trial, otherwise their reputation will be ruined in their mouths.
Jia Jue was helpless, so she had to say to Xiangling: "Don't come here to meet Miss Lin, you can come here if you have nothing to do in the future, when Miss Lin is free, if you don't understand anything, ask her, and at other times, talk to Zijuan and them here to relieve boredom." ”
His eyes were fixed on Daiyu.
Daiyu seemed to have eyes behind her, and said while laughing: "What do you say your own girl, why do you keep staring at me?" ”
Jia Jue glanced at her, the corners of her mouth twitched, turned her head to the side, sighed, this girl is really sharp-toothed, glanced at Mama Wang and the others standing behind the screen, and understood that this was telling herself that the hour was not early, and smiled at Daiyu, who was still facing away from her: "The hour is not early, I'll go back first, sister rest early." ”
Zijuan also smiled: "The girl should also send the third master." ”
Daiyu turned her head and glared at her, got up and said, "Ming'er was sent by you?" ”
Jia Jue was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what she meant, this was hoping that she would come over, and immediately said: "Don't worry, I will personally send her over tomorrow, and I will bring it with the apprenticeship." ”
Daiyu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but blushed again, and said in a low voice: "That... That's it. ”
Jia Jue said: "A gentleman's words are difficult to chase!" ”
Hearing this, Daiyu laughed so much that she couldn't straighten her waist, so frightened that Zijuan helped her, Jia Jue laughed twice, and asked, "What, they won't tell you about that matter!" ”
Daiyu smiled slyly, "What do you say! ”
Hearing this, Jia Jue looked up to the sky and sighed, it is still the sin created by the predecessor, in order to make money, all the scoundrel tricks have been exhausted, and the gentleman's words have since become a joke in the back house of the Jia family, for which Jia Zheng also specially explained the way of the gentleman to the predecessor, hoping that he can change his evil and return to the right, but it's a pity!
Thinking of this, Jia Jue, who felt that his old face was lost, couldn't wait to find a hole to get into, and hurriedly said, "I'll go first." ”
"Alright! I won't leave my third brother behind. ”
Daiyu sent Jia Jue out of the courtyard and watched his back disappear before turning back.
