Chapter 967 Ji Zijuan Jiang is old and spicy

When Jia Zheng returned home, he happened to see a military general with a sturdy official uniform embroidered on his chest coming out. Seeing Jia Zheng, he held his hand from afar and said, "Uncle Zheng Shi."

Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment and looked at him carefully. He felt a little unhappy, but he couldn't say anything. Knowing that the other party was here to see his brother, he could only smile lightly and said, "Is Da Lang here?"

"Well, I went to see Uncle Shi Shi,..." He has triangular eyes, short eyebrows, a full face, and a messy beard under his chin. Although he looks energetic, he always gives people a somewhat violent and ferocious look. With his imposing manner and age, he is only in his early thirties, but who else could he be if he wasn't Sun Shaozu?

 “Well, okay,...” Jia Zheng didn’t expect that this guy would actually become a sixth-rank official.

Although the official rank of a military general is not as noble as a civilian official, he is a sixth-grade military attache in his thirties, which is considered very good. However, Jia Zheng has never had a good impression of Sun Shaozu.

He intended to remarry his niece, but his late wife was said to have been brutally injured by him and died after being delayed for two years.

Although there is no conclusive evidence for this news, it still makes people shudder. Think about it, if Er Yatou’s sheep-like temperament went to the Sun family, what else would be better?

However, this guy and his brother are very close. Last year, he seemed to come less often, and his brother was still cursing. This year, Sun Shaozu came more frequently, especially in the past two months.

Isn’t this guy an official in Datong? How come you can sneak back to the capital in a month or two?

Jia Zheng entered the door, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. He wanted to admonish his brother, but he knew it was useless.

In the same nature, his brother's temperament, except for the silver that moved him, said that everything else was useless, and did not know where Sun Shaozu got so many silver?

Although the Sun family has some foundation, it is really shocking that they often spend 5,110 taels on foreign affairs, and they use it on their own brothers.

Is it so easy to make money by being an official over there?

Although Jia Zheng is not familiar with current affairs, he still has some idea of ​​the current household expenses and income.

Especially after the Grand View Garden was built, the government and the government suffered a huge deficit. Even Wang Xifeng could not afford it. She cried and complained several times. If the Lai family had not been brought down, this year the Rongning and Ningfus would have been unable to open the pot.

But the Sun family relied on Sun Shaozu to build a large house. It is said that they also bought two shops in Nanxunfang. Such extravagant spending can't help but make people suspicious.

He also heard that his brother had obtained thousands of taels of silver from Sun Shaozu. So besides the two girls, what else could Sun Shaozu value in his brother?

　　After entering his study room, he heard Li Shier come to report that he had come out of the palace with Qin in his arms.

Jia Zheng felt anxious.

Although Yuanchun did not show anything in the ordinary letter, Jia Zheng could still vaguely feel that the situation of his girl in the palace was not very good.

To be honest, both he and Wang regretted not listening to Wang Ziteng's advice and sending Yuan Chun to the palace. However, at that time, Yuan Chun was only going to be a female historian for a few years before she could get out.

Who would have thought that once entering the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and it is easy to enter and difficult to get out, but the concubine arranged for her to be transferred to Fengzao Palace and transform herself into an empress.

 It’s just that this empress sounds glorious and glorious, but in fact...

Jia Zheng stood in the study room, speechless for a moment.

He was even a little afraid to see Baoqin, but since he didn't come to invite him, he must have just told his mother and wife that there was something wrong with Baoqin.

While Jia Zheng was struggling alone in the study, Jia Mu also listened to the words brought back with a sullen face.

"The empress said that she had already reported it to the emperor. Although the emperor didn't say anything, he probably still agreed. Maybe I will get a result soon."

Humbling Baoqin whispered, Mrs. Wang next to her was wiping her tears. If what was said in the palace was true, it meant that the master was really going to be released.

It's just that the government still doesn't understand why Yuanchun insists on letting Jia Zheng go out. This is the temperament of this master. Why not just stay in the Ministry of Works as an idle official of Yuanwailang, and receive a leisure salary every year?

Why bother going to another place to endure the hardships of wind and rain?

Jia Mu pondered for a long time and then asked: "Bao Qin, because of the current difficulties in the house, do you hope that the master will be more comfortable when he goes out?"

Jia Mu's words revealed the current difficult situation in Rongguo Mansion. Even the Wang family was stunned, and the mandarin duck next to her even slapped Jia Mu's back.

Baoqin was also startled, hesitated for a moment and then shook his head: "Although the queen didn't say anything about the reason, from my slave's point of view, I'm afraid it's not the reason. As for the specific reason, the queen hopes that the master will go out of the capital, but the slave doesn't." Got it, but..."

 “But what?” Jia Mu asked in a deep voice.

"But it should have something to do with what Uncle Feng and the empress said." Baoqin lowered his eyelids and spoke softly, "But I don't understand very well, and the empress has never told anyone that I just have This feeling."

 “Brother Keng?” Jia Mu was startled.

In Jia's house, if we talk about the understanding of the situation outside, even Jia Pardon and Jia Zheng are inferior to Jia's mother.

I think back when the Rong Ning Mansion was at its most glorious, Jia Mu followed her husband and her eldest brother-in-law and experienced all kinds of ups and downs.

Whether it was the four princes, eight princes, twelve princes, or the civil officials and dignitaries who were all powerful at that time, Jia Mu had seen them all. However, times have changed, and the wind and rain are always blowing away the wind. The current Rongning Second Mansion has declined. .

In fact, Jia's mother had a deep understanding of the decline of Rong Ning's second house. Her two sons were not living up to expectations, but Jia Jing was involved in the prince's affair and was forced to become a monk. She originally expected that the next generation would have one or two talents. , Unexpectedly, Jia Zhu died young, but Jia Lian and Baoyu did not like to study. Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were both unbearable, but Jia Huan and Jia Lan were too young.

After all, there is still no outstanding person in the Jia family who can support the family. A family like this Wuxun family will either have to work hard to earn wealth on the border, just like the previous generation of the Feng family, three brothers and two They were all wrapped in horse leather on the side wall. Only Feng Tang was left, or he could only rely on studying and taking exams to get ahead.

If you can't do both, you can only keep the family and look forward to the next generation. Unfortunately, it's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. We are used to it, and even Jia Mu herself can't stand it. Waiting for Qinghan, let alone these juniors who have been pampered and raised in honey water since childhood?

Even the appearance of the Rong Ning family is not allowed to be too shabby. The shabbier it is, the faster it will fall. Jia Mu also understands this.

From Jia Mu’s perspective, the Feng family is just like the Jia family fifty or sixty years ago, except that the Feng family is more stable.

Feng Ziying actually gave up martial arts and became a literary scholar, and became famous from the scientific examination. This is what Jia Mu feels most deeply. She has both civil and military skills, and her status as a martial artist can ensure that she retains her title. However, being a scholar and civil servant can win and continue the reputation of the Feng family. This is The true atmosphere of a family with bells and dishes and a family of poems and books, rather than a simple lineage of martial arts.

Therefore, Mother Jia's opinion of Feng Ziying is changing day by day. In her opinion, Feng Ziying has already become a fifth-rank official at such a young age, and has strong connections and a good reputation behind her. She will undoubtedly become a general in the future. An excellent candidate for the prime minister, these disciples undoubtedly have extremely far-sighted knowledge and views.

It is precisely because of this that Jia's mother was so shocked and sensitive that Yuanchun accepted Feng Ziying's opinion.

 This means that Feng Ziying and Yuan Chun are probably aware of something in Beijing.

After thinking for a while, Jia Mu finally said, "Baoqin, you said Brother Keng was related to this matter, but was it because the mother-in-law met Brother Keng during her wedding at the beginning of the year?"

Hold the piano and nod.

Did Feng Ziying give this advice at that time?

Jia Mu was hesitant. After all, she could not detect the signs of changes in the political situation like others, and Yuan Chun could not tell her grandmother something that she knew. The same was true for Feng Ziying.

Jia Mu could only rely on her own intuition over the years to judge that sending her second son out of Beijing should be a way to avoid disaster.

 The question is where is the boss?

  Why did Feng Ziying not mention a word about Jia She?

Of course, Jia Mu also knew that it was impossible for two sons to leave the capital at the same time. A Wuxun family like this had the eyes of Long Jinwei watching over them. What did it mean for two sons to leave the capital?

So what does it mean to let Jia Zheng leave Beijing?

Jia Mu felt a little creepy for a moment.

Then I think about what my daughter-in-law accidentally mentioned, Wang Ziteng has led the Denglai army out of Huguang, and his nephew Shi Nai has left Datong. Now the original four old people in Jinling, except for the Xue family who have long since declined and become imperial merchants, , why are the other three families leaving?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, but Jia Mu could never grasp the mystery. This uncertainty only added to her inner fear.

She is not afraid of death. She is already over seventy years old, and her seventy years are rare. However, if the entire Jia family declines or is even destroyed in front of her eyes, this is something she cannot accept.

As long as she has a breath left, she will earn a share for her children and grandchildren.

"Baoqin, apart from this matter, what else do you have to explain?" Jia Mu asked in a deep voice.

Baoqin hesitated for a moment. The empress did not say that she wanted to tell her ancestors about Uncle Feng’s recent situation. It was just that it was the first time for Baoqin to see Jia’s mother look so serious. In the end, she said vaguely: “The empress has nothing to do with our Jia. The family, the Wang family, the Shi family, the Xue family, and the Feng family are all very concerned about the situation, so I want you to inquire about it when you come back, and report back to your mother-in-law when you get back."

"Oh?" Jia Mu said suspiciously. She also felt that Baoqin was a little vague, but it was hard to press, "Is that all?"

"Yes, that's all. The other ladies didn't say much more." Baoqin breathed a sigh of relief.

"How do you inquire about the Feng family?" Jia Mu asked calmly.

"What I want you to do is to ask Yuanyang or Ping'er to call Qingwen over and ask about Uncle Feng's situation in Yongping Mansion." Baoqin was still satisfied.

Jia Mu immediately understood that Baoqin's talk about the four families was just an excuse. Her main purpose was to understand Feng Ziying's movements, and even to pass information to Feng Ziying through Qingwen. This made her feel worried and a little scared.
