Chapter 238: Ancestors are not enough

The founding of the country was carried out by force, and the governance of the country was carried out by literature.

In fact, Ning Rongjia's family has already begun to lay out in the generation of Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan.

First, Jia Jingke, who had a talent for reading, was promoted to the office, and then Jia Min, the daughter of Rongguo Mansion and the first noble girl in Beijing that year, was married to Tanhualang and Gusu famous Lin Ruhai.

In order to let the Jia family walk on two legs, the old lady lowered her figure and begged to go to the door of Li Shouzhong, the priest of the country, and asked Jia Zhu to marry Li Shouzhong's eldest daughter, Li Kun.

Jia Zhu is amazing and gorgeous, and the name of a young talent is resounding throughout Gyeonggi, but unfortunately God is jealous of talent, and not long after Jia Lan was born, Jia Zhu became ill......

When Jia Zhu died of illness, there were two people who cried the most, one was his wife Li Kun, and the other was the old man who was imprisoned at home.

Why? Because Jia Zhu was the only person who had any hope of reorganizing the Jia family at that time.

It is also a coincidence that Jia Zhu died not long ago, and Jia Min couldn't afford to be sick. Without waiting for Jia Yu to react, Yangzhou sent a letter of mourning.

The Rongguo Mansion of that meeting was like falling into a quagmire like a maze, and it was impossible to break free from it.

When the last hope was shattered, the heart of the pardon lord died. From then on, the old man pardoned his wanderings, either playing with women or on the way to playing with women, until Jia Cong suddenly changed sex, which made him see hope again.

"Brother Cong, is this really okay?"

Li Kun's worries are for a reason, after Jia Zhu died of illness, Master Yu once went to the Li family to make the decision, wanting Li Kun to remarry after the filial piety period.

At the beginning, not only the old lady and Mrs. Wang were extremely opposed, but what the old man did not expect was that Li Shouzhong almost drove him out of the door without a broom.

Li Shouzhong even wrote a letter to Li Kun, ordering him to keep the door tightly and not to think about it anymore. Since then, the Li family has rarely visited the family, and the relationship between the two families seems to have fallen into a strange situation.

said that they are in-laws, and the relationship is not even as close as other families.

Li Kun has not seen his father for three years, and it is not surprising that he has such thoughts.

Seeing the poor and pathetic little woman in front of him, Jia Cong secretly scolded this damn world and cannibalistic etiquette.

He patted his nephew's brain, and a smile appeared on his face: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I mentioned this matter to my uncle, and he also misses his grandson, so how can he disagree." Not to mention the second uncle, if Lan Ge'er can take the top prize, then he will be the glory of the ancestors!"

A night of wind and rain and winter solstice, a few days of leisure rushed by, tomorrow is the day of the Yuanchun province, the pardon lord has thrown away the military affairs of the Beijing camp, and took leave at home to prepare to drive.

Since the third day of October, the palace has sent many palace attendants to stay in the provincial courtyard, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites have been shuttling between the courtyard and the two mansions, and the anxious appearance makes Jia Cong look very funny.

"Brother Cong, what are you looking at?"

Baoyu finally escaped from the study of the political master today and ran to the side door of the Rongguo Mansion to breathe.

Outside the side gate is a small alley, and to the east is the Huifang Garden of Ningguo Mansion. Half of the Huifang Garden was classified as the Provincial Garden, and Jia Cong was sitting on the stone steps outside the side gate basking in the sun.

Baoyu followed Jia Cong's gaze, and two green-robed officials of the Ministry of Rites were directing Gong E and the chamberlain to rehearse the rites of the provincial relatives back and forth.

The red-faced official seemed to be very anxious, and kept shouting at the palace people who made mistakes.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "I'm studying!" Chinese Net

"Learning?"

Puff puff......

Xiao Mingyan directly wiped the dust that did not exist on the stone steps with his sleeve, and Baoyu sat down next to Jia Cong.

Puzzled, he asked, "What to study?"

"You're late, the court dance prepared by Taichang Temple just now is very beautiful. The process prepared by the Ministry of Rites is boring!"

The good-looking young lady dancing is much more interesting than the cumbersome etiquette formulated by the Ministry of Etiquette, and Jia Cong really wants to shout and recruit the group of dancing palace ladies back.

Not to mention that it's okay, as soon as he heard the beautiful court dance, Baoyu suddenly felt that he had missed 100 million.

looked at Jia Cong resentfully, and sighed for a while.

At this time, the side door of Ning Guofu opened, and a shadow appeared in Nuan

Under the sun, Baoyu immediately stood up, her big face full of smiles.

"Yes...... Brother Rong's daughter-in-law!"

This Yan dog is really funny and angry, and he almost shouted out his name in public.

Jia Cong also stood up, but he didn't run over like Baoyu, just stood quietly in front of the door and waited.

Qin Keqing didn't come alone, and there was a handsome and slightly feminine young man beside him.

"Third uncle, this is Brother Zhong, the concubine's brother, the day before yesterday, the old ancestor said that he was looking for an opportunity to bring it to Rongxi Hall to let her old man meet."

Qin Zhong also kept his courtesy, and followed Qin Keqing to greet him: "Qin Zhong greets the third uncle......

"Get up, it's all a family, why be polite."

Jia Cong didn't discriminate against Qin Zhong because of the description in the original book, people would behave much better than Baoyu, shy and abide by etiquette, unlike Baoyu......

This Yan Gou looked at people stupidly, probably still thinking in his heart, such a beautiful person, it must be a boy paper!

"Second Brother Bao, why don't you hurry up and go to Rongxi Hall to inform the old lady."

Jia Cong reminded him, and this guy waved his hand irritably: "Oh, it's all a family, what else to report, I'll take Brother Zhong over......

"What the third uncle said is that you have to trouble the second uncle Bao to say it first, Brother Zhong is already eleven years old, so you have to avoid it."

Qin Keqing's gentle persuasion was really more useful than Jia Cong's reminder, Baoyu suppressed the irritability in her heart, and finally turned around and walked towards the mansion step by step.

Jia Cong could hear his muttering, which was nothing more than annoying rules.

The girls in the house often play in the Rongxi Hall, Qin Zhong is eleven or twelve years old, and he is a foreign man, this damn etiquette cannibalism, but he still has to avoid it.

Jia Cong raised his forehead and sighed, "Hey, Second Brother Bao's temperament is really ......."

"Hasn't Second Uncle Bao always been like this? The concubine thinks this is very good, at least it is more relaxed."

Qin Keqing is really an interpretive flower, and she can dispel embarrassment invisibly at any time.

Jia Cong brushed aside the embarrassment of Fang Cai, and walked in with the two of them while idly chatting about homely things.

Before, Qin Keqing wanted Qin Zhong to come to the Jia family to learn to study, but Jia Cong personally went to find Master Jing and got permission. The Qin family has already prepared an apprenticeship ceremony, and plans to send Qin Zhong after saving their relatives.

Often with a few simple conversations, Jia Cong has roughly figured out Qin Zhong's character.

This is a person who is inward-looking, and Qin Ye is very strict with his discipline, and it is estimated that he is too strict, which makes him cringe a little.

It's not like a boy at all, too introverted, like a little girl, no wonder......

Alas, there are some things that I can't say, so I have to find a time to chat with Qin Keqing.

When the three of them arrived at Rongxi Hall, Baoyu had been waiting outside the courtyard gate for a long time.

"Come on, I've been waiting for a long time."

As he spoke, he was about to reach out to pull Qin Zhong, Jia Cong had to cough lightly twice, but unfortunately Baoyu turned a deaf ear and walked in with Qin Zhong, who was blushing.

Whether it was Jia Cong or Qin Keqing, they all smiled helplessly.

When he was about to go in, he saw Ruyi, an almost invisible little maid beside him, running over, saying that there was a noble person waiting for him in the front yard.

After the two said goodbye, Jia Cong came to the front yard, and the nobleman looking for him turned out to be Liu Hong, the fourth prince.

"I'm here to avoid you......

Liu Hong didn't come alone, he also brought the little princess Liu Chun.

The little girl was only three years old, and her big eyes were staring at Jia Cong flickering, this person was so familiar......

She stretched out her hands to Jia Cong, which surprised Liu Hong. When her little sister was born, she lost her mother, and on weekdays, except for him, the fourth brother, or the fifth brother to tease her, she would hide.

Liu Hong tentatively put his sister in his arms on the ground, and saw Liu Chun slowly walking towards Jia Cong.

When Jia Cong leaned over and picked him up, Liu Chun leaned into Jia Cong's arms.

"It's strange, Chun'er doesn't even care about Xiao Wu on weekdays

!」

Jia Cong also couldn't cry or laugh, and his little sister Xichun was also close to him, could it be that he was born with a sister-in-law physique?

"Fourth brother, this is ...... Why did you bring out Princess Chun'er too?"

Hearing Jia Cong ask, Liu Hong replied with a wry smile: "Don't mention it, my father and grandfather are having an awkward relationship, and it's not good for me to help anyone, but fortunately, I came to you to hide." As for Chun'er, Concubine Xian is busy preparing for tomorrow's marriage, and Concubine Yang is busy with the affairs of the palace, so she sent me there from Yikun Palace early in the morning."

The little princess is a poor person, she is mostly in the imperial concubine palace on weekdays, and the Yang family will send it to Fengzao Palace when she has something, and as for the other concubines, the Yang family is not at ease.

Jia Cong lifted the little princess high, the poor child has not spared the spring heavy, where is the royal noblewoman expensive?

"Fourth brother, let's go, let's go to my courtyard to play."

There are often people in the front yard, and there are many people, and it is not as comfortable as your own small courtyard.

"Why did Your Majesty have an awkward quarrel with the saint?"

Liu Hong followed Jia Cong to the small courtyard, and looked around on the way at the delicacy of Rongguo Mansion, and there was no match with Jia Cong.

He pursed his lips: "It's funny, this time it's actually the emperor's grandfather who is stubborn, isn't he going to hunt in the Iron Net Mountain in a few days, the emperor's grandfather has to follow."

Ha? The old man is still unable to move, why is he running there?

Jia Cong was dumbfounded, pondered for a moment and smiled dumbly: "It's normal, the saint has always loved to be lively, let him be alone in the palace, he can't stay."

Liu Hong nodded, and continued with a smile: "I think so too, in fact, my father also understands this. But the imperial doctor said that the emperor's grandfather should not be tired at the moment, and the weather is getting colder and colder, what if something happens then."

The emperor's concerns Jia Cong can understand, the old man's illness has finally improved, and it is in the critical period of recovery, where can he dare to toss again.

However, if you are in a good mood, you will get better and get better quickly. I can't say this, so let the two supremes toss it themselves.

"Woohoo!"

Hearing the sound and knowing people, the two kittens on the top of the big cat who were originally playing in the yard ran out and rubbed around Liu Hong's legs.

This is his No. 3 shovel officer, I haven't seen him for a few days, so hurry up and pet it.

"Cats!"

The little princess's eyes lit up, and she pointed to the little cat on the top of the big cat's head, and said in a milky voice: "Cat, cat, cat, cat......"

A brain melon appeared on the door frame of the courtyard gate, and his eyes flashed and he looked at the little princess held by Liu Hong and Jia Cong, and his mouth was deflated.

The third brother actually hugged other girls, wronged!

"When did Sister Xi'er come?"

Jia Cong was a little confused, didn't the grandmother from the palace call a few girls to practice the process of welcoming the driver? Why is there only this little one left?

"Fourth brother, is my little sister, the daughter of Ning Guofu, the fourth girl in the family. Sister, this is the Fourth Prince, hurry up and see you."

Hearing Jia Cong's reminder, Xichun temporarily let go of the grievances in his heart, and curtstocked: "Meet the Fourth Highness, Your Highness Wanfu Jin'an."

However, the five-year-old girl, Liu Hong did not need to shy away, but took the initiative to say hello.

He gave him a little help and said with a smile, "Just call me fourth brother, get up quickly......

As he spoke, he took off the jade pendant hanging around his waist and handed it to Xichun.

Xichun didn't answer, but turned his gaze to Jia Cong.

"The fourth brother is rich, and my sister is sorry to take it."

Jia Cong helped Xichun take it and carefully put it in Xichun's purse. The prince's jade pendants all have specific ornaments, and they may be able to help Xichun prevent the catastrophe when they come.

Xichun thanked Liu Hong again, and then whispered to Jia Cong: "The grandmother in the palace is so scary, my feet hurt when I stand up, Sister Lin helped me speak, and then ran out."

Since there are no other ladies in the courtyard, it is more convenient.

He welcomed Liu Hong into the small courtyard and went straight into the room to rest. The little princess is two years younger than Xichun, and Xichun has the opportunity to be a sister, but the grievances of her brother who were taken away have long been thrown to the corner, and she took the little princess with her

The cat and kitten played up.

The fire in the house was already burning, and it was warm. There was a thick blanket on the ground, and the two little girls sat directly on the ground, playing happily.

Liu Hong was a little envious of Jia Cong's small courtyard, and sighed: "Recently, I have been tossed miserably by the people of the Ministry of Rites, the ritual is cumbersome, rare in the world, and I think it is more troublesome than when the emperor ascended the throne."

"That's for sure, His Majesty was ordered to be in danger back then, and everything was simple."

Jia Cong's tea making skills are taught by Daiyu, and every move shows everyone's demeanor and makes Liu Hong feel relaxed.

He handed a cup of tea to Liu Hong: "Speaking of the East Palace, the fourth brother's marriage should be prepared, but why haven't I heard the news of choosing a concubine?"

"Why do you mention all these troubles?"

Liu Hong's face showed a hint of irritability, and he said bitterly, "I came here to avoid these troubles, so don't mention these things today."

Jia Cong understood that it seemed that the pressure on the second generation of the emperor was even greater than he imagined. If you want to wear its crown and bear its weight, the future prince of the East Palace has already begun to bear the upcoming responsibilities.

The crown princess, the crown prince Liangdi, etc., will all be tools to maintain the rule of the dynasty. What kind of love and love has gradually left him, can you not be annoyed?

Like those in the film and television dramas and female frequencies in the previous life, it is absolutely impossible for a woman to make a brother a wall and the country is unstable, which is absolutely impossible in Daxia.

If there is such a woman, she will definitely not live for a day, and she will be secretly eliminated by the Emperor Taishang or the emperor.

Cruel, but extremely correct.

"By the way, Brother Cong, I have something serious to tell you."

Liu Hong brushed aside the worries in his heart and changed the subject: "Master Wei sent me a post, saying that it will be his 70th birthday in a few days, and he invited me to go to his house for a banquet when the time comes......

Jia Cong was amazed at the old man's generosity, and nodded: "I also received it, when I visited two days ago, the prime minister gave me the post directly."

Liu Hong looked at the two little girls who were playing on the ground, lowered his voice and said, "It's a common thing to worship Shou, but I heard that Master Wei is going to attack the Kong family when he arrives, is it true?"

"Half-truths, the prime minister wants to do a big deal, and it's with me!"

Jia Cong didn't hide it, and leaned into Liu Hong's ear and began to mutter: "The Great Prime Minister is preparing for the new deal, and he plans to untie the shackles that bind the literati first......

The reason why the Emperor Taishang chose Wei Qinghe to preside over the cabinet was mainly because the old man did not belong to any party in the court, but he had peach and plum all over the world, and he had enough prestige and energy to stabilize the court.

And in the eyes of the Emperor Taishang, Wei Qinghe has a steady temperament, and he will not shout at every turn like a hairy young man, saying that the sky is not enough to change, the ancestors are not enough to change the law, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate.

But in fact, in Wei Qinghe's heart, there is always a matter on his mind.

He is a real son of a poor family, the dynasty has been peaceful for a hundred years, and many of the rules formulated by Taizu when the country was founded are no longer in line with the current situation.

If the law does not change, in 50 years, the people will have no arable land, the court will have no money to collect, and the army will have no available soldiers......

One hundred and ten years later, Daxia will definitely fall into the mistakes of all dynasties, the world is full of smoke, and the Central Plains will be in chaos, maybe the overthrow of the Han family will be in the mundane.

He had been pressing this matter in his heart before, because the two saints were in the court, and the court was unstable.

Now that the saint is gradually retiring, and the emperor is in power, he himself is already in his prime, and if he is not crazy, he will have no chance.

Even in his hands, the new deal can only be a beginning at most, and the old man intends to set an example and a rule for future generations.

Jia Cong analyzed for Liu Hong: "If my guess is right, the prime minister is preparing to build momentum for the new deal in advance, and at the same time, he also wants to recruit a group of available talents for the fourth brother!"

Yes?

Liu Hong was a little shocked, and he subconsciously waved his hand: "What am I recruiting talents for? Father's Spring and Autumn Peak ......"

He has just been in power for a short time, and he himself has not yet been officially established

For the prince, what does he do to recruit talents?

Even if he became the prince, he couldn't recruit people for himself so early, in case he was provoked by someone with a heart, wouldn't it be difficult for him to have a dislike between father and son.

"Where does the fourth brother want to go, have you forgotten that the eldest minister still has an identity? His old man is your teacher, the prince of Great Xia!"

Jia Cong was made to laugh and cry by Liu Hong's reaction, and had to explain: "The day before yesterday, the Prime Minister told me that the East Palace will be established, and the fourth brother's subordinates can't even have a few people who can be used. And His Majesty personally told him that he would find you a few talented people among the young men to fill the Zhan Mansion."

Zhan Shifu has so far had three or two big cats and small cats, and those people in the court, the emperor felt that they were all old oilers in the officialdom.

After thinking about it, the emperor still planned to let Wei Qinghe choose a few talented stunned young people among the people, just like he trained Jia Cong, and let Liu Hong train himself.
