A winter snow is coming.

After a night of snow, the snow covered the entire capital, as if covering this majestic city with a layer of white sand. After the snow, the blue sky of the capital is like washing, the blue sky is so translucent, and the beauty is intoxicating.

Snowflakes are deposited on the earth, the water and mountains are the same color, the glass is like it, and the white land is so clean.

The winter of Shenjing in the 40th year of Tianyou is really a heavy snow year, and from the day before the winter solstice, it snows heavily in Gyeonggi.

As the old saying goes, Ruixue is a good year.

Everyone understands this sentence, but it can't keep going down, not only the Shuntian Mansion Yamen panicked, but even the Caoyun Yamen also panicked, because at the end of the year, the offerings in the provincial government supply palace gave priority to enter the Yongding River section of the canal into Beijing, and many passenger ships and cargo ships were blocked at the Tongzhou wharf, if it was a sunny day, you could also take the official road to Shenjing, such a big wind and snow, you can't go at all.

In particular, there is also a batch of grain that is also blocked at the Tongzhou wharf, if it goes down like this, the river will definitely freeze, and everyone will be unlucky if they miss the errand.

Early in the morning, Jia Jue made an excerpt and asked the emperor to send an internal official to the Ruishi battalion to supervise the army according to the ancestral system, and presented 400,000 taels of silver.

Perhaps Emperor Tianyou felt that his heart was empty, and he hurriedly asked Shoufu Wen dialect to promote Jia Lian to the position of Shuntian Mansion Zhizhong, Zheng'er Bajing, Zheng Wupin, and half a grade higher than Jia Zheng, in charge of Shuntian Mansion's money and grain, household registration, land and other affairs.

Zhongwu Bo's Mansion, the fragrance of medicine in the inner room of the back house is permeated, Amber is sitting in front of a small stove carefully observing the heat of the medicine jar of Chinese medicine, Jia Jue because of the spirit on the battlefield has been in a tense state, coupled with the fatigue of the long journey, yesterday I ate two drinks in a row, and blew a little wind, and contracted the cold, but in the end I was young, and I seemed to be much better after taking the medicine in the morning.

Although it was cold and snowy outside, the room was very warm, and I saw an elephant trunk three-legged loach gilt stove in one corner of the house, and the charcoal fire was extremely hot.

Jia Jue was wearing a loose cotton robe and lying on the soft floor, Xiangling knelt behind him, gently massaging both temples for him, and just sent away the enthusiastic Wang Xifeng, originally she came with a gift, she was not embarrassed to accept it, this sister-in-law was not polite to herself, not only brought the gift back, but also took away the tribute Qinzhou yellow millet sent by Emperor Tianyou when she left, saying that it was more effective for the woman to eat it, and it was a waste to eat it for herself.

Jia Jue sat up straight, looked at Xiangling who was sitting there in a trance, and asked, "What do you want this girl?" ”

Xiangling was stunned, her eyes flashed, and she smiled: "I'm thinking about what the second grandmother just said." ”

"How?"

Xiangling blinked her eyes and said imaginatively, "The third master married Miss Lin..... gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and the third master was also sealed, and when the time came, I led the little boy and the little lady to play.... I can also teach the little lady to read and compose poems...."

Jia Jue was stunned for a moment, and immediately burst out laughing.

"The third master is in a good mood!"

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Amber walked in and said with a smile: "After drinking the medicine, the second girl should come over in a while, the third master promised the girls yesterday, but you can't forget it." ”

"Don't worry!"

Jia Jue took the medicine bowl, the temperature was just right, he raised his head and drank it all, seeing this, Amber handed over the prepared tea again, "Rinse your mouth." ”

Jia Jue had no choice but to nod.

"Third master, second master Bao is here."

The mother-in-law's voice came from outside.

"Let him in."

In a moment, Baoyu walked in, followed by his nanny.

"Third brother!"

Baoyu walked over and gave Jia Jue a proper salute.

"This is not Rongxi Hall, there is not so much red tape."

Jia Jue waved his hand, looked at Baoyu carefully, and saw that he was less pompous than before, and his temperament was much calmer, it seemed that Jia Zheng was very strict during this time, pointing to his side and smiling: "Sit down and say, just after a while, your second sister and they will all come over, let's talk and laugh together, and have dinner at my side in the evening, and I will let the second master talk about it." ”

"Really?!"

Baoyu was overjoyed, and suddenly, she remembered something again, and shook her head gently, "Forget it, I still have to go to the master's room to study, just, just ....."

Seeing this, Jia Jue sighed slightly, Baoyu's life was chic and comfortable in the past, and it was unimaginable to outsiders, but at this time he was taken by Jia Zheng's side, forcing him to study all day long, listening to Wang Xifeng said that he was sick for two or three times, and Jia's mother could only take the opportunity to let him rest for two more days, and then he was detained by Jia Zheng again, and good children were forced out of illness, Jia Zheng really failed, the official did not do well, and even the education of children was also a failure, every time he saw Baoyu without asking the reason, he first reprimanded and sneered, simple and rude.

Thinking of this, seeing him standing on the side with his hands down, he asked, "The second master asked you to come to me?" ”

"Hmm."

Baoyu nodded, "Uncle is here, my lord invites you to come and talk." ”

The prince is here?

Jia Jue brought a bowl of tea to Baoyu, "Don't worry, take a break with a cup of tea." ”

Baoyu was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the attacker, and then slowly sat down.

Jia Jue's face immediately became gloomy, and he said coldly: "You all go out, our brother will talk." ”

Amber pulled the stunned Xiangling and walked out, and the attacker couldn't help but glance at Jia Jue, just in time to see Jia Jue staring at him with a frosty face, so frightened that he quickly bowed down and retreated.

Jia Jue slowly turned his head, looked at Baoyu, and said: "Your master is also for your good, you can't just be like this for the rest of your life, I heard that Lan'er has started to read four books, can the second uncle not be in a hurry?!" ”

Baoyu was stunned, lowered her head slightly, and looked at Jia Jue silently with her eyes up, but did not speak.

Jia Jue sighed and said, "Okay, let's talk about it, what do you think?" ”

Baoyu: "The master asked me to read the book first, and then I will see it." ”

Jia Jue smiled, "I'm asking what do you think?" ”

Seeing that he was pressed so tightly, Baoyu had to reply: "I, I can't learn those... Stuff, groggy all day, can't remember at all, I.... I did my best. Maybe... Maybe I don't have the talent...."

Jia Jue smiled slightly, "I heard the third girl say, it's good that you wrote a few poems at the poetry meeting." ”

"The master said, poetry is not a serious matter, let me not in the future.... In..."

Baoyu was embarrassed, and her two hands were tightly squeezed together.

When Jia Jue heard this, he immediately interrupted him, "What are those Qingke people raised in the study outside Rongxi Hall for?" Yesterday in the Qianqing Palace, Shoufu also mentioned your master, saying that he had something to take leave, and he would take a leave of absence if he had nothing to do. ”

Baoyu was stunned.

Jia Jue looked out the window with his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Baoyu, I will tell you a heartfelt word today, your lord is really not suitable to be an official, I plan to keep your lord away from the court This place of right and wrong."

The King of Shu and the King of Liang do not have a waiting for the idle generation, the battle for the heir has begun, and there are civil officials who are eyeing each other, in case one day I step on my false feet and fall, the second master in the court will become the target of attack by the civil officials, your lord is a gentleman, a sincere person, it is easy to fall into the trap of others. As for your second brother Lian.... Don't worry, let's take a look first. ”

Baoyu seemed to understand something, and hurriedly asked, "Then I don't need to study!" ”

After speaking, he immediately reacted that he was out of shape, and said timidly: "I, I mean.... I don't read four books anymore...."

Jia Jue looked at Baoyu deeply, and then nodded, "Not bad!" You can read as much as you like, and it's not bad to be a Baume & Mercier. ”

Baoyu was ecstatic in her heart, but she couldn't believe it, her eyes widened, and she muttered, "But.... But.... Master, the master will not agree. ”

Jia Jue continued: "There has been no second-class jinshi in the Nanzhili official school for two consecutive years, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to even reach the third-class next year, and the imperial examination will be completely controlled by the civil officials. ”

“....”

Baoyu was stunned.

Seeing this, Jia Jue shook his head and smiled bitterly, this kid didn't understand anything, looked at him deeply, and said weakly: "You wait a while, I'll write a letter and we'll go over." ”
