Red Chamber Fellows: You Are Not Guilty

Hearing that Jia Lian wanted to thank Jia Cong in person, Jia She was happy to see the people in the big room working together to maintain each other: "I have already rewarded each other. You don't have to thank too much, just keep your brotherhood. Speaking of it, I still stay. Here's something for you, go to the study after dinner."

"It's gone, it's all Qiaojieer's." Qiaojieer didn't care whether her father reprimanded her just now, and interjected.

Seeing that Jia Lian was puzzled, Jia Amnesty explained to him with a smile: "The other day I copied Lai Da's house and got some things. I gave some to your mother and Yingchun Cong'er. She was not happy if she didn't get it. I have no choice but to give your mother something that I wanted to give her as an apology." Seeing that Jia Lian was going to discipline Qiao sister again, he stopped him and said, "There is a way to raise a poor son and a rich daughter, and Qiao sister is your eldest daughter. Prestige is also cultivated with things. I think it’s good for Sister Qiao to say what she wants, so that she won’t be wronged in the future and don’t know how to find someone to complain.” It’s the same as the Ermu in the original book.

Jia Lian always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't find it for a while, and thought that Mrs. Xing was a character who regarded money as her life, so she said: "I don't know what father wants to give mother, why don't my son make up for it."

It so happened that Mrs. Xing came in after dinner and heard this, and smiled indifferently: "Then you have to look for it. There are three big boxes, all of which have gone into the small treasury of this little money fan." Ignoring Jia Lian, she was stunned and walked away To sister Qiao's side.Sister Qiao put her arms around her neck and got up, no one paid any attention to Jia Lian's words just now.

Jia Amnesty also didn't care about Jia Lian's words: "You don't have to worry about the two of their mothers. Now the two of them are working together to calculate my money. I don't know how many hearts they have on me."

Mrs. Xing was not annoyed: "It's not that I am pitiful. I don't have much dowry. This girl's dowry has been saved since she was a child. Now I don't count more from the master's hands with my sister. When the time comes, our sister Where will the dowry come from?"

After hearing Mrs. Xing's words, others were not so good. Jia Lian thought of Wang Xifeng's resolute departure, but she didn't think about leaving Qiao'er.Ordinarily, at least half of the mother's dowry will be used as the daughter's dowry, but it happens that the sister has no money, and Mrs. Xing has to save it from now on. Although this is funny, why is it not the truth?His expression was a little weary.

Jia Amnesty couldn't see anything, so he gave Mrs. Xing a wink, and asked someone to see if Jia Cong had finished school, and asked someone to invite the two girls to have dinner together, as a family welcome for Jia Lian.

After dinner, Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian went to the study and gave him the rest of the Zhuangzi's land deed and the shop's deed together with the account book, which surprised Jia Lian: "So much?"

"Well, I've put away the cash. Your second younger sister should look after her when she sees it. You have to prepare a dowry for her." She sold the delicate girl for less than 5000 taels.

"Didn't you come out from the public?" Jia Lian remembered Jia Amnesty's plan when the family was just separated.

"It's different where it came from. Your sister is also pitiful. We didn't pay attention to her in those years, and we didn't know how to speak. We were not less angry at the old lady. I have the intention to make up for it, you Just don't worry too much."

Jia Lian's face turned red when he heard his father talk about indifference: in those years, his father hid in the East Courtyard to see the Spring Festival for a limited number of times, and his real brother lived in the mansion with others, so he didn't take much care of him. This younger sister, on the other hand, knows that her mother-in-law has kept filial piety for her mother-in-law for three years.I also thought of how shrewd as Wang Xifeng, the dignified housekeeper's grandmother, she didn't take care of her sister-in-law at all. If she hadn't left now, she should be taught a lesson.Thinking of Wang Xifeng, he couldn't help thinking of Jia She's saying that he would marry again before the meal, and said to the new and old Jia She: "Find someone with a bigger heart. Don't be jealous when you see your sister's dowry."

Jia Amnesty has nothing to do with this, and the daughter-in-law who marries in will have to go through the eyes of Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang, and her character will not be much worse.Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Jia Lian say, "Father, the Zhen family may be out of their minds."

"Oh?"

"This time Master Gu and I have just arrived in Changzhou, and there is Zhen Yingming, the third householder of the Zhen family, waiting there to intercede with the prefect of Changzhou. Master Gu and I have already rushed to Changzhou. The emperor's order is not a secret, but If there is no personal relationship, why bother to inquire about this news and rush all the way from Jinling?

"Well."

"Mr. Gu and I went in a hurry, but we had evidence in hand. Zhen Yingming actually wanted to cover me with two old relatives. I refused because I was just a deputy, and told Mr. Gu that our two families were not good enough. Both have lived in Jinling for generations, and have no actual relatives."

"Good job."

"When Mr. Gu and I were going back to Beijing, Zhen Yingming actually brought out Prince Zhongping."

"what?"

"Prince Zhongping." Jia Lian repeated, seeing that Jia Amnesty remained silent, he continued: "What do you mean that the prefect of Changzhou and the officials in Prince Zhongping's mansion are related by marriage? Just beg the Supreme Emperor and it will be over, let us think more about our official career when we play back. Why is the Supreme Emperor still alive?"

This is the idea of ​​taking advantage of the suspicion between the two emperors.Thinking about the past few days, it was secretly found out that some nobles and nobles came to Prince Zhongping's mansion wantonly to give gifts and generous gifts. It seems that not only the elder brother of the emperor had such thoughts, but some nobles and even some officials did not because of this. The emperor has been on the throne for nearly five years and has recognized this man, and the merits of Conglong have always attracted people's hearts.

"You can pay attention to this, not bad. Wait until you see your grandfather tomorrow and then discuss with him. Let's see what your grandfather means."

The Zhen family is not scary, what is afraid of is the uneasy Prince Zhongping.From Prince Ping's own mother to Prince Ping whom I first met, there is his shadow behind him.Fortunately, not long after the emperor ascended the throne, Prince Ping himself didn't live for long. Before those people had time to brainwash them, Jia Amnesty, who didn't play according to the rules, came across the sky. This is enough to turn people around.However, the Supreme Emperor is already old, thinking that the crown prince has been framed by the bad people of the Tian family, even if there are shadows of Zhongping and Zhongan behind this incident, there is no real evidence, and it seems to have little effect in the middle.So in recent years, the Supreme Emperor has treated the sons of the three princes with kindness. Although Zhongping Zhongan is not as good as Zhongshun and indulgence, he has also rewarded him a lot. He even asked the emperor for some love for the two of them. It is said that there are even a group of officials who are used to speculation, and they want to go straight from the dragon to the sky.

In the final analysis, the emperor himself lacked self-confidence. First, there was a prince who was dedicated to the front. When the prince was not around, the emperor wanted to pass the throne to him, only to find that he had already put himself in the position of a virtuous king, and had to hold his own. Teach from scratch.But many years of habits made this emperor develop the mentality of looking for his father when he has problems. He is filial, and the Supreme Emperor also thinks that time is too late. Neither of them found out. It seems that the Supreme Emperor is not at ease and now holds the power hold on.

Jia Amnesty thought clearly, but he didn't intend to teach the cheap son by himself. After all, when the original owner was in the former prince's Zhan Shifu, he was also a role in pointing out where to fight. It's all about revenge, regardless of politics.If he realizes his current thoughts, and the secret that the original owner has kept for 20 years, I am afraid that before the three springs are over, the current general's mansion will be completely white and clean.But Mrs. Zhang was different. He was the teacher of the emperors of the two dynasties and was trusted by the emperors of the two dynasties.

After the morning court, Jia Amnesty brought several rolls of papers to Yishang Shu Zuo Ji's door, and Zuo Ji greeted him before he was informed, "What wind brought you here? What are you busy with at work?"

Jia Amnesty held the scroll under his arm and saluted, "I have sorted out the errands ordered by Lord Shangshu in the past few days. Please see if it is available."

When the two of them entered the room, Jia Amnesty spread the paper under his armpit on Zuo Shangshu's desk, and saw a square form, listing everything by name, ancestor He Jue, past generations He Jue, and current He Jue Open, there is a column at the end with the word "remarks", some are ticked, and most of them are blank.Zuo Ji has never seen such a self-explanatory form, everything can be understood without explaining, but he is a little puzzled by the remarks: "What is this for?"

"Those who are ticked have changed the government's regulations according to the system, and those who have not ticked are the ones who have not changed."

In the whole list including Jia She himself, there are only five people who have been reformed according to the system, Zuo Ji can't help but look at it carefully.Jia Amnesty didn't urge him, but just drank the tea brought by the servant.It has been about an hour since Zuo Shi finished reading.

"I don't want Jia Shilang to be so talented." Zuo Shi sighed, but Jia Amnesty said he didn't dare to do it.

"It's just that even if the sage agrees to investigate the regulations, these people have changed according to the laws, but they just took back some imperial gifts that violated the regulations, and lived in a smaller place. It has no other use in the country except shocking." I check!If you deliberately want to torment others but fail to toss, why do you complain?

Jia Amnesty smiled slightly: "Master Shang Shu, did you forget about meritorious deeds?"

"Wow!" Zuo Ji wished he could kiss Jia Amnesty, and dragged him to face Sheng.There is a rule in this dynasty that meritorious officials should be bestowed according to the nobility. This is the real reason why when it is said that the meritorious officials should be restructured, some people will accuse Jia Amnesty.Zuo Ji was a clean person, and he only heard about the meritorious deeds of noble families, unlike Jia She, who was born with meritorious background, knew it clearly.

"You are not wronged." The emperor was also very excited when he heard Zuo Ji said that he would take back the land of meritorious deeds according to the system, and couldn't help joking about Jia She.Back then when Zuo Shi wanted to torment Jia She, he knew that he saw that the disciples of Xungui did not look like they were going to be shocked in the middle of the capital, but he didn't expect that there would be such a tangible benefit as Gongxuntian.This meritorious land re-allocation according to the system is by no means a small number, not to mention re-allocation to the landless people, it can also make the emperor's internal treasury a drum.

"There are many people who don't like me from left to right. Participating in two discounts is just for fun." Jia Shehun didn't care.Zuo Ji had never seen anyone who came and went with the emperor, you and me, and shouted: "Jia Amnesty is bold."
