Chapter 18: Shuqing, how are things going?

"Xuan"

Emperor Long Zheng's slender eyes narrowed slightly. He knows his teacher very well. But this time.

"The old minister sees the emperor, may my emperor live long live long live." Chen Menglei has served three generations of the Son of Heaven for 30 years, and his etiquette has always been meticulous.

This is also the reason why Chen Menglei was able to get the trust of three generations of emperors. No matter where you are, no matter how much grace you receive, it's good to never be arrogant and keep your duty.

"Sir, please, I have already said that Mr. is old and virtuous, and his father and emperor do not treat him like an ordinary courtier, so there is no need for so much etiquette in my place. Speaking of which, you are a true teacher. "Emperor Longzheng's frosty face rarely has such a trace of warmth. He knew that the Manchu Dynasty was now full of old ministers of Yong'an, and if it wasn't for Mr. Chen's efforts to maintain it, his situation would only be worse.

"The righteousness of the monarch and the minister is the foundation of the country, and the minister does not dare to be careless." Chen Menglei stood up slowly, a little eunuch had already moved a brocade stool over, and Chen Menglei was not very polite, and sat down directly.

He had some problems with his legs, and he couldn't stand for a long time, so he went to Jiuhua Palace, and the Emperor Taishang was also treated like this.

Emperor Long Zheng looked at the fold in his hand, his heart moved, and asked, "What is the matter with Mr. coming to me?" ”

Chen Menglei took out a few books from his sleeve and began to report:

"Emperor Qi, there are two things here that need to be given to the emperor.

First, the fifth year of Longzheng is the year of Enkedabi, and as usual, Enke's preparations should begin now. Whoever will take the lead will also ask the emperor to show it.

Second, the tributary mission of Qianxiang has crossed the Yangtze River, how to receive it, and ask the emperor to make it clear. ”

Seeing that Chen Menglei was silent, Emperor Long Zheng was a little puzzled: "It's gone?" ”

Chen Menglei was even more puzzled, the emperor didn't seem to be the same today.

Seeing Chen Menglei nodding, Emperor Long Zheng knew that Chen Menglei should not have known what happened to the Jia family.

"I'm afraid Sir doesn't know yet, your son-in-law, the eldest son of Rong Guogong, the first-class general Jia Yu, is dead."

Chen Menglei was completely shocked, he had entered the palace this morning and was on duty in the cabinet. is planning to go back to prepare for class as soon as possible after handling official duties, and he is still very concerned about teaching his grandson.

However, he had just dealt with the official business that he needed to deal with, and he planned to leave after reporting the matter that needed to be consulted to the Son of Heaven, but he didn't expect the Son of Heaven to give him such a big melon.

Thinking of the high-spirited young boy back then, Chen Menglei sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty, how did he die?" ”

Emperor Long Zheng didn't say anything, but handed the recital of the CRRC Mansion to Chen Menglei.

After reading the recital, Chen Menglei nodded. Jia Lian is still very sober. Although doing so may leave a reputation of unfilial piety among the common people and the clear stream. But comparatively speaking, the Jia family is not afraid of these now.

It's just that leaving such a reputation, Jia Lian may be difficult to do scientific research in the future. Of course, even if he doesn't have this reputation, Jia Yu is dead, and Jia Lian sees that he will inherit the title, and as a martial artist, he will no longer be able to take the imperial examination.

Chen Menglei has never doubted Jia Lian's qualifications to inherit the title, and as for Jia's mother secretly making those means, it is undoubtedly ridiculous for Chen Menglei.

However, although Jia Lian was able to inherit the title, Chen Menglei still decided to contribute to this grandson. He believes. Emperor Longzheng was waiting for him to say this.

"Your Majesty. It is said that Jia pardon was guilty of delaying the military plane. Death is too good for him. But after all, he is the eldest son of the former Rongguo and the inheritor of the title of Rongguo. Now that he died unexpectedly, is it to give the Jia family some grace. After all, it is the Sexun family, which is related to the country. ”

Emperor Long Zheng looked at the teacher in front of him with a smile: "Sir, don't you just want to fight for the benefits of your grandson." He really voted for your fate. Well, I'll give you this dignity. ”

At this time, Rongning Street was already occupied by the sacrificial tents built by various nobles. The Beijing Palace, Xining, Dongping, and Nan'an, the four major county kings, all sent housekeepers to set up road sacrifices. In addition to them, the eight founding princes and the twenty-four marquis, as well as the six princes and sixteen marquis canonized during the Jingning period, also sent people to attend.

This is the legacy left by the two generations of the Jia family in Taizu and Shengzu dynasties as the first people in the military. If it weren't for the unfilial piety of future generations, the Jia family would definitely be far stronger than now.

Thankfully, it's not too late.

Kneeling in the mourning hall, Jia Lian, who bowed to the world friends who came to worship, thought about it.

The funeral of the Jia family was very grand, and even the Heavenly Family sent someone over.

After tossing for nearly a month, the funeral was finally completed, and Jia Yu was also laid to rest. On this day, after finishing the meal, Jia's mother said to Sanchun and Baoyu: "The funeral of the eldest master, after so many days, you have also suffered, and now it can be regarded as a disobedience, no one needs to accompany me here today, go to Gaole by yourself." ”

Jia Baoyu has long had enough. If he hadn't been so young and not as eccentric as he was later, he would have started to fall jade a long time ago.

In Jia Baoyu's opinion, isn't it just that a stinky man like sludge is dead, and if he dies, he will die, wouldn't it be the best for others to live how they live.

So as soon as she heard Jia's mother's words, Jia Baoyu immediately cheered: "Second sister, third sister, let's go and make poems, okay?" ”

Yingchun, who is already a teenager, has naturally understood something. Although Jia Yu, the father, is not very responsible. But as long as he's still around, he's not alone.

Now that he is sluggish and discouraged, Yingchun, who is in self-pity, hears Jia Baoyu's cheerful voice, and Yingchun's wooden temperament is a little annoyed.

But fortunately, there is also a second brother and a second sister-in-law. Yingchun glanced at the second sister-in-law who was standing beside Jia's mother and waiting, and saw her shaking her head at herself. He nodded and left.

Jia Mu looked at Wang Xifeng and Li Kun who were waiting behind her, and said, "It's not easy for the two of you. Today is also relaxed, let's go back and rest, and come back at lunchtime. ”

Li Kun also plans to resign, as the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper, she is not used to not making rules. However, Wang Xifeng is so smart, he has long seen that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang have something to say.

She hurriedly stopped Li Kun's words, and said with a smile: "Yo, then it's thanks to the old lady, my second master Lian still chattered in the morning, saying that I saw that the sky was here with the old ancestor, and the girls in the yard were all slack, and he couldn't even drink hot tea when he came back." I just went back today to rectify and rectify. ”

Mother Jia was happy when she heard it: "Okay, you are a bad person, this is a trap for me." Go quickly, don't come to me when Lian'er comes to me. ”

watched Wang Xifeng and Li Kun leave Rongqing Hall with the maids. Jia Mu's face slowly became serious

"Shuqing, how are things going?"
