The opening of the Qijiu River was a good day, but the Ministry of Industry and Shuntianfu panicked, and it snowed for two or three months in a row, the weather warmed up, the river water swelled, the river embankment was washed away in many places, and countless fertile fields were flooded, and the people who returned home at the end of the first month were displaced again, and the natural disaster returned, casting a shadow on everyone's hearts.

Coming back from the imperial mausoleum, Jia Jue stayed in the imperial city for less than half an hour before he came out unwell, and the emperor didn't know which one he smoked crazy, so he had to stay in the Feng'an Hall of the Emperor's Mausoleum for two days, and he also named himself to stay as a guard commander, but fortunately he stayed for two days, the lush mountain mausoleum was cold at night, and a few lanterns that were blown out of the light were even more eerie, and he didn't want to stay for a day, and he didn't know how Zhu Dakang, the king of Yizhong County, should spend the next year.

This kid is really ruthless, if he didn't know the truth, he was really deceived by him, killed Emperor Tianyou, and could stay here for a year with peace of mind, I don't know if Zhu Qinde would be so angry that he crawled out of the coffin in the middle of the night to find him desperately.

Jia Jue's carriage has one more person at this time, Jia Lian, he still serves as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and declined the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Works, it can be said that his official promotion is very fast, in less than two years, he has been promoted from the donation of the fifth grade Tongzhi to the third grade of the senior official, unlike other Shuntian Mansion Yin who is angry at both ends, Jia Lian never bows down in front of anyone, this is the benefit of relying on the family.

To a certain extent, Jia Lian is the need for the rise of Rongguofu, and Jia Lian also needs the power of this officialdom.

At this time, Jia Lian was covered with mud and water, looking very embarrassed, and he didn't have the appearance of a high-ranking official in the court.

Jia Lian opened the lid of the food box, picked up the teapot and drank it to the spout.

Jia Jue looked at him like this and felt quite funny: "What's wrong?" ”

Putting down the teapot, he breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped his sweat with the corner of his clothes: "I'm not afraid of your jokes," Jia Lian leaned into the carriage, "I let people beat it, and the water and mud on this body were stained at that time." ”

Jia Jue smiled: "Huh? Who dares to beat you, a parent official, on the territory of Shuntianfu! ”

"The people are bitter." Jia Lian's eyes looked at Jia Jue with complicated eyes, "Several villages in the middle reaches of the Lugou River were all flooded, and a centenarian pulled me and asked, 'Why?' One of his two grandsons died in Mobei, and the other was demoted to the sin army and went to southern Xinjiang to atone for his crimes, the flood destroyed his last hope, and his two granddaughters-in-law and three great-grandchildren were all gone, and he, he jumped into the rolling torrent in front of me....." Speaking of this, his eyes were blindfolded with tears, and he choked there, and he couldn't open his mouth for a while.

Jia Jue laughed out loud.

Jia Lianmeng was stunned.

Jia Jue sighed softly again: "Second brother, you have changed. ”

Jia Lian didn't answer him directly, turned his gaze to the window, and said, "Maybe I'm too soft-hearted...... Take your time. ”

Jia Jue looked at him and shook his head slowly, and then said: "The disaster has been mistaken by officialdom!" Han Huai had already written a book, but no one cared about it, they all stared at the cabinet, if it weren't for His Majesty's return to the cabinet in order to capture Tongzhou in his hands, he might have made a fuss. Now they are all staring at Enke Huitry, or rather, staring at the second master. I hope that the re-examination in early March will not make too many jokes. ”

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, and then nodded deeply.

New year, new atmosphere, Yong'an Emperor Zhu Wucheng's first knife cut on the Enke examination, from the first year of Yong'an, Chunfu added a re-examination, only those who passed the re-examination can participate in the next palace examination, which can be regarded as improving the imperial examination system, to a certain extent to ensure the fairness of the scholars, of course, certainly can not eradicate the disadvantages of the field.

Jia Jue: "I'll give you some answers." In less than a month, the imperial court will set off a big eucalyptus in Gyeonggi, and none of those who mislead the country and the people will be able to escape! ”

Jia Lian's face immediately became grim: "I should give an explanation to the people of Gyeonggi, otherwise the people's hearts will be unstable!" ”

Jia Jue smiled: "Heaven is impermanent, people's hearts are unpredictable, and you can't just look at the appearance of many things..... You haven't done it yet. If you bring a battalion of soldiers or bring food and rice supplies today, believe it or not, they will call you 'Lord Qingtian'!" ”

Jia Lian was a little disappreciative at this time, and was silent there.

Jia Jue: "What, not convinced?" ”

Jia Lian: "Where do I still have that mind to beat around the corners." The in-laws are too, obviously he just shipped 100,000 stone of grain, he had to let me wait for two more days, I am burning my eyebrows, and he is also.... Forget it, let's not talk about me, Wang Yi came back, and went to Rongqing Hall to meet the old lady in the morning, and when he heard that Wang An arrived in Helin, he began to check the accounts, and saw that the posture was rushing to bring down the prince. ”

Speaking of this, his eyes flashed again: "This kid is really good, he only took less than ten days to reach the capital after more than 2,000 miles." ”

Jia Jue: "Where are the people now?" ”

Jia Lian paused: "On a cold day, thousands of miles rushed to complete Wang Ziteng's explanation, and as soon as his heart was discharged, he fell ill." ”

Jia Jue: "It's much more kind than Wang Ren." He sighed, "Are you okay at home these days?" ”

Jia Lian pretended to think about it: "Third brother..... Have you forgotten something? ”

Jia Jue was stunned: "What do you say?" ”

Jia Lian: "How many are there today?" ”

"February 15, what's wrong?"

Jia Lian looked at him and smiled: "You, you....." and then shook his head: "Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring, may you pick more, this thing is the most lovely——"

Jia Jue glared at him: "I was staying by the emperor's side as the commander of the guards, and I couldn't contact anyone outside the forbidden army at all!" ”

Jia Lian nodded: "Listen to your sister-in-law, Sister Lin has been waiting until the second watch." In the end, the old man sent the ancient fan he got from the Kong family - in your name. ”

Jia Jue smiled: "Hey, this bend is too big!" You see, it didn't end up in my hands. ”

Jia Lian was dumbfounded.

At this time, when the carriage arrived at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian got up and said with a smile: "I'm a little tired today, and I'm going to Daxing tomorrow..... Ay! I can't do it anyway. ”

"Second brother, pay attention to rest, things are too busy, calm down and do it slowly, no one will blame you."

Jia Lian was stunned: "It's okay....." smiled self-deprecatingly: "I understand Zhang Jiacheng's words now, God didn't give me this favor." I'll try to have a clear conscience. With that, he silently got out of the carriage.

Zhou Rui came up, asked An first, and then said: "Third master, the old lady has passed a message and asked you to go to Rongqing Hall." ”

"Okay, I see."

As he spoke, he knocked on the baffle at the front of the carriage with his hand, and the carriage slowly drove towards Xifu.

...........

Li Ying, the chief eunuch of Fengzao Palace, kicked away the little eunuch who was kneeling in front of him, and reprimanded: "Open your mouth, open your ancestor, shut up your ancestor, the miscellaneous family is following the order of the concubine!" Blind minions, if you don't open the door, go to the Fusi Prison in Beizhen and stay, and find someone to open the door! ”

The little eunuch panicked, kowtowed, and said: "The slave should die, the ancestor said, no one can see the head of Dai, the key is not here with the minion, it is in the ....."

"Mr. Li! Hey, Mr. Lee! The eunuch in charge of the straight house was originally resting, and at this time, he was fastening his buttons and walking quickly, "I heard that Chief Manager Li is here to pick up Father-in-law Dai to go to Fengzao Palace on an errand?" ”

Li Ying stood on the stone steps: "Yes, I said that I would go back after praying for the first emperor for forty-nine days, how long has it been?" And there are no rules! ”

"That, that ....." The chief eunuch hesitated for a moment and asked, "Does Chief Li have an ancestor's warrant?" ”

Li Ying looked at him slowly: "He is the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, your master, but he is a servant of the royal family, and the miscellaneous family is under the order of the noble concubine." ”

The chief eunuch was stunned.

"What? You dare to resist! ”

"This, this ....." The chief eunuch remembered Dong Shan's explanation, gritted his teeth, and finally stubbornly pushed back: "The ancestor said, if you don't see the warrant, you can't leave, and you can't see people....."

Li Ying was pushed there at once.

Seeing that Li Ying was resisted, the chief eunuch hesitated, stepped forward, and took a deep look: "Please take care of the difficulties of our people.....

"Snap" slapped him in the face, defenseless, and was slapped to the ground by this slap, looking at Li Ying incredulously.

Li Yinggao shouted: "It's the opposite! The miscellaneous family is following the order of the noble concubine, and if you don't lead the miscellaneous family to go, you won't see the sun tomorrow. Open the door! ”

As the saying goes, it's better to say that it's better to beat up, the chief eunuch was finally fanned by Li Ying's ear scraper, and covered his face and climbed up: "This is the door for Manager Li....." As he spoke, he took out the key from his waist, opened the lock, and then pushed the door open.

Li Ying softened his face, took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it over, saying, "This is a hundred taels of silver tickets, take it to tea." ”

The chief eunuch didn't dare to say anything, took the silver ticket, and led Li Ying to Dai Quan's residence.....

"What? Dai Quan was taken away? Dong Shan turned around suddenly, with a frightened face, "Why are you so bad?" ”

The chief eunuch panicked, kowtowed, and said: "The slave should die, Manager Li is following the order of the noble concubine Niangniang....."

Dong Shan kicked him away and reprimanded, "Idiot! The miscellaneous family is asking why you have locked him up for so long?! ”

"This, this ....."

A wry smile swept the corners of his mouth, Dong Shan: "Let's go." ”

The eunuch was stunned.

Dong Shan: "Go to the Heart Cultivation Hall with the miscellaneous family to ask for sin!" With that, he went out in a huff.

.............

Coming out of Rongqing Hall, Jia Jue went straight to Mengyunxuan, walked into the courtyard, and saw Jia Lan walking into the house with a small stick, stunned for a moment, and walked over.

As soon as Jia Jue walked to the door, Li Kun's stern voice suddenly came from inside: "You are naughty again." What do you do with a good stick? I almost planted my tooth before, and you forgot it? Don't throw it out yet! ”

The curtain of the door was lifted at this time, a small stick stretched out, and suddenly stopped there, Jia Lan saw that it was Jia Jue standing at the door, and immediately threw the stick: "Third uncle!" The third uncle is back! He shouted and ran over.

Jia Jue picked him up, pinched his little face with his left hand, and said with a smile: "Why did you make your mother angry again?" ”

Seeing this, Li Kun put the trace of unhappiness just now behind him, smiled and waved his hand: "Big boy, don't be ashamed, come down, your third uncle still has to rest." ”

"It's fine."

Jia Jue hugged him and sat down, and said with a smile: "You haven't told the third uncle yet, why did you make your mother angry just now!" ”

Jia Lan scratched the back of his head and replied loudly: "I am practicing martial arts, and I will be a general like the third uncle in the future." ”

"Good! There is a lot of interest. ”

Jia Jue patted Jia Lan's face and said with a smile: "Like the third uncle, I will ride a horse and carry a knife in the future." ”

Li Kun lowered his eyes and was silent.

Jia Jue smiled: "Lan'er is very well-behaved and smart, and she will not delay her studies." Besides, practicing martial arts can not only strengthen the body, but also cultivate endurance and strengthen willpower. This will be of great help to him in the future when he sees the imperial examination. ”

At this time, Daiyu walked out of the room, "A children's test will take five exams in a row, not to mention the township exam, and if you are a little weaker, you may not be able to hold on." ”

Of course, Li Kun understood, and replied politely: "Lan'er has always practiced martial arts with his Uncle Cong, and I also hope that he is well." Perhaps thinking of Jia Zhu, who died early because of his weak body, the grievances buried in his heart couldn't help but come up with tears, and he quickly pulled out his handkerchief and turned his head.

Although she was carrying her back, Jia Jue still knew that she was wiping away tears and patted Jia Lan.

Jia Lan hurriedly slipped off Jia Jue's lap, walked to Li Kun and knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Mother, the child must be admitted to the Jinshi, and the future official will be bigger than his grandfather's official." ”

Jia Jue said teasingly: "Why don't you give your mother a champion back?" ”

Daiyu glared at him.

Jia Jue was still teasing: "It's better to marry another princess daughter-in-law and come back to serve your mother." ”

Jia Lan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Mother, I will definitely marry you a princess daughter-in-law back!" ”

Jia Lan's childish words attracted laughter from all over the room, and Li Kun was also laughed by him: "What nonsense you say, I'm not afraid of being laughed at." Speaking of this, he looked at Daiyu: "I won't bother you, let's go first." As he spoke, he nodded to Jia Yu again, and pulled Jia Lan out.

"Sister-in-law, go slowly!"

Seeing Daiyu go out to see Li Kun, Jia Jue got up and walked into the inner room, leaned down on the soft couch and sat down, took out a small box from his sleeve, waved his hand to Zijuan, and rested on the pillow.

"Tired?"

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Daiyu walked in, and when she looked at him, she couldn't help laughing: "You are a military general, and going out is like losing half your life." ”

Jia Jue opened his eyes, sat up, and patted his thigh, "Why did she come over?" ”

“......”

Lin Daiyu looked at him for a while, then turned around and sat down on the side, "Have you been to the old lady's house?" ”

Jia Jue immediately understood what she meant, it must be Mrs. Wang's meaning, Wang Ziteng knew that Li Wenzhong burned nearly 50,000 Ming troops with 20,000 military horses borrowed from him, and as soon as Wang An arrived in Helin, he began to check his accounts, so he was in a hurry, and wanted the Jia family to help mediate from it.

This matter is really not very easy to handle, and the crime can be big or small, it all depends on the emperor's mood.

Thinking of this, he reached out and held her hand, pulled it gently, did not move, pulled again, held her in his arms, and said with a smile: "You are in good shape now, and you can't pull it if you don't work hard." ”

Daiyu understood, and then got angry again, "Bah, are you disgusted with me for being fat?" What about Sister Bao? ”

"Uh....."

"How did I meet you!"

Daiyu rubbed in his arms, Jia Jue hugged her and said something, stretched out her hand, opened the small box, and there was a pendant of a white jade rabbit lying inside.

"Do what?"

"Yours."

Gently propping up her jaw with one hand, he paused, untied the red rope, and hung it around her neck.

"Uncle sent you a Xiangfei bamboo fan, I heard that it was an ancient fan from the Kong family." Daiyu held it in her hand and rubbed it for a moment, and said, "I belong to a sheep!" ”

Jia Jue tightened her into his arms and said with a smile: "I am four years older than you. ”

Daiyu was curious: "What's wrong?" ”

After speaking, he raised a smile and looked at him with a smile.

"Uh, uh....."

Jia Jue smiled dumbly, it was not good to be too smart, and slowly picked up her two little hands, pretending to be serious: "Look, I belong to a rabbit, so ah, this jade pendant represents me, you wear it on your body, and I will always be by your side." ”

"Oh? That's got to take ......"

She paused slightly, raised her head slightly, teased in her eyes, ate and laughed, her eyes flowed, and she looked to the side.

Jia Jue hugged her tightly: "What's wrong with Jia Cong?" The old lady and the second brother both let me take care of it, what's the matter? ”

"It's nothing, Brother Cong beat a few side disciples, it was originally a joke between children, who knew that the Jin family sued the second sister-in-law, and the main vein bullied the side branches, this kind of thing is not good to say, the eldest uncle and mother are so angry that they have to lead him to compensate people."

Daiyu said with a smile: "Brother Cong said that he wants to be like you, and he will ride a horse and carry a knife in the future, so he must learn the same." ”

Jia Jue smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing." After a pause, "I don't have time, and you don't care if you're a sister-in-law." ”

"Phew!"

Hearing him so straightforward, Daiyu blushed, and suddenly remembered something, "In the past few days, a relative has come to the family, what is the name of Sun Shaozu, the ancestor and our family are old relatives, and then somehow it was broken, and now he has come to the door again, I heard that he has made great contributions in Baoan Prefecture, and was promoted by the emperor Jian as a general of the forbidden army, and the eldest uncle is very optimistic about him." ”

"Sun Shaozu?"

Jia Jue frowned, his thoughts flickered, and he couldn't help but think of the past.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Jia Jue came to her senses at this time, thought about it again, and whispered in her ear: "Let's go, let's ask the master and wife to go." ”

"I've been there early in the morning."

"It's different."

Jia Jue stood up with her half-hugged, and said with a smile: "Listen to me, let's go over together, the master will be even happier, and you won't pick the good things in his study at that time." By the way, Wang Xizhi's Xiaokai "Le Yi Theory" is stored in the master's study, and the second master has begged several times but has not succeeded, if you open your mouth, the master will definitely give it to you. ”

"Isn't it rumored that an old woman was thrown into a brazier and burned?"

"You also said it was a rumor."

Lin Daiyu: "Really? ”

Jia: "That's right. I can still lie to you. ”

Lin Daiyu stared at Jia Jue and pursed her lips and smiled.

Jia Jue was a little uncomfortable: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I have already asked Zhang Xiansheng to collect all the information about this Sun Shaozu, and it is estimated that news will come soon."

Jia Jue: "Hey, do you have to say it so clearly!" After a pause, "Damn, this grandson can't be a monkey who jumped out of the stone, I have been looking for him for more than half a year, and there is no news at all." Now he has sent it to the door himself. ”

Daiyu: "..... Sun, Sun Monkey. Smiled: "You can figure it out." ”

After a pause, "No swearing!" ”

Jia Jue smiled: "Let's go..... Fight the local tyrants. ”

Daiyu Dale: "You are really filial." ”
