Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

Water vat, water vat, water vat, say it silently three times, it sounds better than the "dog baby" that appears very frequently among the people, doesn't it?

And what is the meaning of the water tank?

When he took office before, the emperor gave him a water tank. At the same time, he also arrived with a stack of memorials about participating in the salt administration and participating in the corruption of the salt censor.

After thinking deeply and associating, Lin Ruhai immediately felt that he was a little unstable on his knees for a while, relying on years of consciousness to support him, he kowtowed, and then knelt down and left.

With tense nerves, Lin Ruhai didn't heave a sigh of relief until he got into the sedan chair, and his brain began to calculate rapidly.Knowing that now is knocking on him.But he thought carefully about what he had done in recent days, recent months, and even recent years, and he wanted to pat his chest and cry.He really worked hard and tremblingly, not daring to take a wrong step.

But the emperor chose to take the son he had so hard to get...

Suddenly, Lin Ruhai's eyelids twitched, and his face turned pale with fright.That's right, his son's first birthday celebration was a little too big.

But he was nearly thirty years old, his knees were empty, and he had only one son. It was human nature to catch the Zhou banquet and have a lot of fun.

wrong!

There must be something else.

Lin Ruhai went back to the hotel all the time, still thinking about the reason.

On the other side, Jia Amnesty took the ten-day leave note that he had obtained so hard, and began to pack and salute happily.Hearing Jia Lian's report, they couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw Lin Ruhai.

"Lin Ruhai? He went to Beijing to report on his work? He didn't join in by himself, so I won't join in." Jia She said: "But since we met, you are a junior after all, hand in the greeting card and pay a visit. Your own etiquette should be done Just be there."

"Well, Dad."

Jia Lian got the advice and quickly went to handle it. After all, they were going on a trip soon.He has grown so big, he hasn't been out of Beijing yet.The only time I was invited back before leaving Zhili.

Seeing the people leaving happily, Jia She let out a laugh, and just about to continue tidying up, he felt that he could smell the vinegar smell all over the room, and when he turned around, there really was a big vinegar vat at the door.

"Wait until I invite you into the house?"

Cui Yu hugged Mrs. Tang, walked in slowly, and sighed: "Once you leave, Yan'er and I will be left at home."

"It's not you who said it yourself. You have to work hard to make money, buy a house with money, and then get married." Speaking of the last sentence, Jia She really thinks that Cui Yu is a prudish person.

Once, when he was in a hurry, he heard someone stammering what was in his heart, which frightened his little brother into excitement.

I have never seen such an emphasis on ceremony.

No matter what you say, you have to earn money to buy a house, and then get married in the new house.

"I'm almost there. The emperor's salary is comparable to that of the side-by-side king. Four years, a total of 20 taels of silver. Now I can buy the Dongcheng Liujin courtyard. I can also repair one or two according to your preferences." Cui Yu looked at Jia Amnesty, a little emotional: "I still want to be free at the end of this year, and we will go to look at the house together. Without the title deed, I always feel that it is not my own. It's a pity."

"It's time, there's always a squeeze. Before the new year, we will definitely come back." Jia She pulled Cui Yu, and there was a trace of loneliness in his words: "When the spring of next year begins, Lian'er will go out to study."

In the blink of an eye, Jia Lian was 11 years old. Mr. Yu said that his temper was almost gone, and he was going to the academy to study with other friends and learn how to get along with others.Moreover, Mr. Yu thought that the academies in the capital city were too much about fame and wealth, and that the Jiangnan ones were too bookish, so he recommended the academies in Shandong. It is said that someone from the Kong family founded them.

As soon as Jia Lian left, the little fat man Rong'er followed.Their study progress is about the same, Rong Xiaopang is even further ahead than Lian'er, and the uncle and nephew enter the academy together, so they can be regarded as companions.

Of the three children, Jia Qiang is the only one left.

He doesn't study, but after playing gambling with his cheap elder brother Jia Zhen, he became fond of pocket watches again.I don't know how many pocket watches have been dismantled, and there are still some western clocks that were tributed by Great Britain and others.That is to say, he himself is rich and self-willed!

Moreover, this child is not as childish as the other two, and he is so cold that he doesn't want to talk to anyone.

So in terms of mood, he is absolutely reluctant to let his two children change from a little bear to a little gentleman.

"My child, I will grow up." Cui Yu hugged Jia She to comfort himself, and said, "Before Lian'er and the others leave, I will definitely do a good job."

"Well, I believe you, I will do it." Jia She raised his head, kissed Cui Yu's face, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe Cui Yu's face distressedly: "In the future, don't come here with cold wind blowing at night. .Look at your face is going to be cracked with cold.”

"It's not as exaggerated as what you said." Cui Yu pulled Jia Amnesty to sit down, and put his hand on Mrs. Tang.Let's keep warm and chat together.

"Anyway, you have to take good care of it. I've just taken a fancy to your handsome face."

"it is good."

Cui Yu gave some instructions for travel precautions in detail, and emphasized: "If the father makes trouble, you can let the second brother take care of it. He is getting older and younger now."

"Uncle Huang is just an old child, he is very good."

Cui Yu was silent for a while, the corners of his mouth curved.His family, Enhou, is a loyal supporter of "Emperor Taixing".This is also good, there will be no worries about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future.

"Well, he's very nice. You two are like comrades-in-arms who play crazy together."

"Where... how can there be!" Jia Amnesty smiled at Cui Yu fawningly.

Cui Yu burst out laughing, said something again, and then talked about naming Lin Ruhai's children with embarrassment.Although I now have the idea of ​​being "the only one", I never thought about making all the men in the world like him, wanting to be the only one, and destroying my concubine.The understanding of offspring follows that of the public.The concubine's child is also the child of the aunt.

"So, for a while, I forgot to consider your sister's feelings. In case this makes you embarrassed, I..."

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." Jia Amnesty had already burst out laughing, "Enzheng, why are you so talented!"

After laughing, Jia She took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and replied: "You are the emperor, this is your normal way of controlling servants. If you even love the house because of me, wouldn't you be a fool? Tell me You, you want to be a wise king, and I am still waiting to be a powerful minister!"

"As for Jia Min, I don't think she is stupid. When my father was alive, he said that my second child and I were not as intelligent as Min'er." Jia She said: "Lin Ruhai can be a prostitute and become the son-in-law of my father's old fox. , There are also two brushes. When he figured it out, he will naturally take action. If he doesn’t act, then you can do business on your own. Do whatever you want. Anyway, the house is not copied. The dowry is not stolen. Both of their mothers can survive."

"Well, it depends on his situation. As for the Yanzheng, I have to send someone to investigate in detail. If he hasn't crossed the line, wait for him to wait for another two years, and after two years, he can make a move. It just so happens that Mr. Wang It's almost time to pray for the bones." Minister of the Ministry of Rites, that is an extremely noble position.

"It's up to you, don't talk about him anyway, I have a grudge against him. You love to plan so much, talk about Zhen'er coming back, what are you going to do?"

When Jia Amnesty said this, his eyes became eager, which made Cui Yu sore again.

Jia Zhen received the "punishment" of disposing of the underground palace, but stayed at the Taoist Temple in Xujia Village, Guangping County.Not only the underground palace was changed, the Taoist temple was repaired, but also the imperial decree written by the former emperor and grandfather was also enshrined.And also a clever, will draw inferences from one instance.Following the principle of employing people in Cuju Mountain Villa, he employs local farmers for his Taoism and temples.From this, the restaurant food, the manufacture of incense, and the development of the bearer industry...

It directly drove the economic development of Quang Binh Province.

By the way, I almost emptied my own warehouse.

Cui Yu is a little relieved that Jia Zhen has grown up after this incident.However, even if Jia Zhen didn't grow up, he was gratified as an emperor.After all, Jia Zhen's father respected Daochang for the sake of the child, and the growth is still visible to the naked eye.

Completely other people's father.

In two years, the progress of research on fire and medicine has not only caught up with the craftsmen of Shenjiying, but also self-taught Fanbang English and Portuguese, deciphered the manufacturing principle of tunnel guns and guns, and even pleaded for mercy, remodeled and upgraded the guns and guns. gun.

This kind of talent squatting in the Taoist temple is completely subservient.Talents that can't be bought even with high-ranking officials and generous salaries.He almost secretly begged the Buddha to bless Jia Zhen to cause another disaster, so that his father, the bear child, would have a bit of fame and fortune to come out to accumulate merit.

Because after Jia Jing researched it, he waved his hands away and followed Prince Zhongyi to live the life of a fairy couple, and planned to go to sea to see it.

Don't mention the emperor's emphasis on talents, just say that he is also a son, think about Jia Zhen's father's painstaking efforts, and compare with his wealthy emperor's father.

Not the only seedling, not to be envied.

And Jia Zhen not only has someone else's father, but also someone else's uncle.

Cui Yu couldn't help saying enviously: "Zhen'er is really a pearl baby just like her name!"

"Look at you sour. Where does love and hate come from for no reason? It's not all accumulated in normal times." Jia She rubbed the emperor's puffed cheeks and said solemnly: "Look, I don't treat Lin Ruhai very well. Well, because he looked at me with the eyes of a scumbag before, even if I became an official, I didn't see him show anything. Before Jia Min came to trust me to do something, I replied a letter..."

After talking about the content of his letter, Jia She said: "I don't think I answered it wrong. I wrote it to my sister. Why didn't I just come here? When I heard Lian'er mention it earlier, I had a flash of inspiration and knew about Lin Ruhai. I must have read this letter, otherwise I wouldn’t have sent someone to Jia’s house to say hello if I didn’t go to Beijing to report on my work. This person is as strict as the second child, and now he can let him abandon the rules and not fight with his in-laws when he comes to Beijing Say hello, hehe."

"It sounds like Lin Ruhai's inner court discord is also a problem?" Cui Yu frowned.

In addition to guarding the frontier for many years, the military generals who returned home during the debriefing period, and those whose husbands and wives live apart, can still use "do not understand women" as a fig leaf.This kind of direct confrontation day and night, if you can't handle housework well, is very worrying.He felt that if an old man couldn't manage the disputes in his inner court well, he didn't clean up the whole house, so he didn't want to sweep up the world.

"Which inner courtyard have you seen that is really reconcilable?" Jia She didn't expect that he would sue Lin Ruhai invisibly.

"I'm just saying this casually. Didn't you blame Zhen'er for being treated well?" Jia She said, "That's because he always supported me no matter how I was suppressed by the Shi family before. Tit for revenge. .”

"I understand, I understand. As a cheap uncle, I will also help my eldest nephew to formulate a development path that suits him."

"Really?" Jia She was startled, and looked at Cui Yu in disbelief.

"Speaking of which, I use him a lot." Cui Yu was a little embarrassed: "He loves guns. His father can make guns. Daoist Jing's talent in weapons is obvious to all in the Shenji Camp. So , I have to hang him to respect the Taoist priest."

Jia Amnesty: "...I'm not afraid that your second sister will fight for you."

"Second Sister and her daughter have gained some fame in the south, known as Jade Rakshasa, so he is trying to imitate the Song Dynasty and promote female households."

"It's not you who hangs, is it?"

Cui Yu smiled when he heard the words: "Otherwise, these two will not be self-motivated, and live the life of a fairy couple!"

"I haven't lived yet, they don't want to hide away."

Jia Amnesty was silent for a long while, and drew inferences: "...What if you want to hide from time to time in the future, but your son imitates you and comes to trick you?"

"Impossible, Yan'er and Lian'er are obedient children at first glance!" Cui Yu deserved it sonorously and forcefully, even if he felt a little guilty in his heart.But he is the emperor, has the right to be willful, and deceives himself and others.

"Ah."

=====

Just when Jia Amnesty and Cui Yu were chatting, and the topic changed back and forth that no one could have expected, Lin Ruhai received Jia Lian's greeting card, and glanced sideways at his confidant and staff.

"Say, should my uncle see Jia Lian?"

Generally, when the juniors meet with the elders, the elders set the time, but it was good for Jia Lian to directly set the time for tomorrow morning, because they will leave for Quang Binh Mansion tomorrow afternoon.

In other words, there was no respect for his uncle at all, and he was just going through the motions at will.

But in the officialdom, sometimes you have to bow your head.
