Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

Jia Amnesty had the motivation to go back to Beijing to entertain his grandchildren. After returning to Kaifeng, his whole body became more and more energetic. It was as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Compared with the previous short-term excitement, this time the chicken blood lasted for a long time. .Sometimes government officials are lazy, sometimes irritable, sometimes ignorant people find fault, and sometimes...it's all right, just take out the portrait of her own dragon and phoenix baby, and Jia She can be excited again in a second.

Jia Lian has a next generation, and both sons and daughters are "good". For him, it is a complete cut off of the past that seemed like a dream but not a dream.

In order to let my children and grandchildren live a happy and happy life, what does it matter if being a grandfather is a little bit hard?Besides, he is working hard now to let more children live a happy life.This good news will cover his family's dragon and phoenix "Hao".

When I think about it, I feel motivated.

Jia Amnesty was busy with official duties, and during the period, he went back to Beijing because of the Spring Festival wedding and the Zhou banquet.When I return to Beijing again, it will be the day of high promotion.

Although I was very excited after receiving the imperial decree, at the moment when I packed up and left, I was still very reluctant to part with Jia Amnesty in Henan, and it has been nine years in the blink of an eye.

How many nine years are there in life?

Before he became a grandfather, he still felt that he was a baby, and there was a tall man standing on top of him when the sky collapsed, but after he became a grandfather, he realized that he was really old in a blink of an eye.

Compared to this time when the common people came and sent it spontaneously, Jia Amnesty lowered his head when he recalled the lively scene when he went from the general judge to the servant of the household department.Although the common people loved and respected him, in the past, it seemed like a kind elder pampering a child. It was completely different now. Facing the ups and downs, let the common people get rich under the shade of his wings.

Jia Amnesty took a deep breath, suppressed all the melancholy in his heart, looked at the successor of the governor whom he had instructed thousands of times, the former Governor of Kaifeng, and then turned his eyes to Wen Zijun.

"You... don't talk about the big things, but you have to fight for me and your father for the small things!"

"Of course." Wen Zijun looked up at Jia She: "Thank you."

He also received a letter of appointment and became the new prefect of Kaifeng.After Jia Amnesty collected data in Henan Province, and asked Jia's family to collect it everywhere, they finally produced certain data, proving that people with disabilities can also have great talents.After some twists and turns, the Ministry of Officials established a special official assessment.As long as they pass the assessment, they can also become official officials. Of course, in order to avoid "dishonor in front of the palace", they can only be released as local officials at most, and the highest cannot exceed the fourth rank.But no matter what, this can be regarded as a kind of progress.

Thinking of this kind of progress, there is also a share of his credit, and a brotherhood.

When Wen Zijun thought about it, he felt that he was also influenced by Jia Amnesty, and he became emotional from time to time.

"When you enter Beijing, don't continue to step on the spot. Now you are the head of a department." Wen Zijun reminded his friends.Outside, the officials go to the Yamen at [-]:[-] o'clock, and it is seven o'clock now, and they can return to Beijing. According to Jia Amnesty's current rank, they have to get up early and work late every day.The court opened at five o'clock, and according to the current officialdom, there would be more than half an hour of idling in the waiting room, so Jia She had to get up at four o'clock even if he lived close to the palace, even if he lived in the palace.

As a friend, as the governor's master's staff, Wen Zijun was still extremely worried about whether Jia Amnesty would arrive on time.

When Jia Amnesty reminded me, I felt a little worried: "I... why did you mention such a heart-wrenching thing when you parted."

As soon as I think about it, I want to criticize Xiao Cui, and talk about reforms. Before, the wind was blowing on his pillow, and the morning time and holiday time were not changed.

No, I have to go back and blow the wind into people's ears.

"I'm leaving, you guys go back too, don't give it away." Jia She bid farewell, then looked at the group of ordinary people behind who could barely see the edge, and waved vigorously: "Folks, don't give it away." , goodbye. When I retire and take care of my grandchildren at home, I will bring them back to see you."

"My lord, you have a good journey!"

"Lord Jia, don't forget us!"

"..."

Hearing the voices behind him merge into a sentence of "Forgive Qingtian", Jia She got on his horse, raised his whip and waved to the people again, and then drove away.

He was afraid that when he was in the car, he would be moved to cry when he heard the praise from the heart of the people.

And it's so annoying in Henan, the local people spontaneously come to see them off when they pass by the post station.It seems that he already has a huge convoy, but now there are five cars full of raw eggs, pickled sauerkraut with shallots and flowers, live chickens and ducks, jujube carp, etc.Not to mention there are also Qingtian plaques and the like, which have collected several yuan.

Don't hold back the stronghold, it's so welcoming.

Half a month later, Jia Amnesty returned to Jia's house with a cartful of earth instruments.They sent people to sort out the gifts received from the common people, and sent some to various places. The other elders sent out a whole cart. Of course, there is a little difference in being in the officialdom, and half a cart was sent to Emperor Taixing.

"Uncle Emperor, look, I have lived up to your expectations. Back then, I said I would be a good official, but now I am doing so well." Jia She waved a yam, and continued to beam with joy: "This Henan iron stick yam is also a yam. It is a local specialty. Especially the Huaiqing yam, which is the best among yams, is known as ginseng. This time I went back to Beijing, and the Yaonong gave me a catty each, and I also have a car. Other things I can push It’s all pushed, but this thing has a lot of medicinal effects, and it can also delay aging, so I brought it back for you.”

"Not to mention anything else, just eat my heart, eat the heart of ordinary people, you will surely live a long life, healthy and long life."

"Okay, okay." Emperor Taixing smiled happily.In the blink of an eye, 16 years have passed, but Jia Amnesty has been able to keep up with his rhetoric at the beginning, and he is really seeking benefits for the people.

"You don't have to accompany me. Before you leave for the post, spend more time with Lao Yu's medicine jar. Government affairs will never be finished." Emperor Taixing patted Jia She on the shoulder, and after a few words of encouragement, he was quite happy. A sentimental mention.

But this sentence cannot be ignored.

He had always been in good health, but in the blink of an eye he was nearly sixty, and his hair was already gray, not to mention Yu Qiuji, who was already in poor health and lived on medicine to continue his life.

Now people really depend on one breath of life to live - if you want to see your students get nominations on the gold list, it is best to equal his record.

"I will." Jia Amnesty nodded vigorously.He understands the reason why the son wants to support but the relative is not there.He was also the first to go to the ancestral hall this time, offering incense to the ancestors of the Jia family seriously, and also honoring them, such as plaques, such as the officials of the government government learning from the officials of the Shuntian government, painting paintings and writing poems for him Things, all spread out page by page for the ancestors to show off.

Jia Amnesty went to Huo Jue's other villa in person for a while in colorful clothes, gave gifts to others, talked with them, and returned home in a hurry.

The rest of the time, apart from visiting relatives and friends for a few days and focusing on seeing the lonely and alone King Zhang, spent most of the time talking with my husband during the day and chatting with Cui Yu at night. The arrangement was perfect.

Staff member Yu saw Jia She holding a baby in one hand, sitting on the carpet without any image. He felt happy on the first day, and it was okay on the second day. On the third day, he opened his mouth to drive people away—"Before taking office Have you done your homework? Don't hold back, Rong'er is going to end next year. You are the last bad feng shui."

Jia Amnesty: "..."

Jia Amnesty can't help it, although he has his own big fat grandchildren, but he still likes the former big fat nephew.This child, the elders all felt that he had to suppress his temper, so since he won his fourth year, he has been traveling all over the world without referring to the exam.

For reference next year, the big reason is that Emperor Taixing wanted to see the face of Yu's staff and let people go, otherwise, in his opinion, Rong'er is still young and has to walk again.

After all, he is not yet a weak champion, only 19 years old.

Of course, their Jia family is actually quite good at this point, and they won't argue too much with the older generation about the way their children are educated.Basically, the old men have said it, and the child understands it himself, so he and Jia Zhen's parents have no right to speak.

"But sir, no matter whether it's positive or negative, I still make you proud, right?" Jia Amnesty watched the person slowly drinking the yam pork ribs soup, his eyes fascinated, he finished with a smile, and left with the child in his arms.

He has to find someone else to mutter.

Cui Yu looked at the two children crawling on his bed and rubbed his forehead.

Jia Amnesty stretched out his hand and asked Cui Yu to beat his arms, then sighed: "Fortunately, our family is still a wealthy family, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to raise children. I don't understand those poor families now. It's okay to hold children. , two of them died of soreness within a day. How can those people carry one on their back, one on their front, and another on their hands? If you are poor, you will lose a lot of rations if you have one less child. .”

"That's because they feel that after two or three years of hard work, the children will grow up and be able to serve as half of the labor force when they are five or six years old." Cui Yu said while rubbing Jia Amnesty's small arms.In the past two years, Jia Amnesty's flesh has visibly loosened a lot, and when pinched, it becomes chubby.

"Did you bring these two children here, and you didn't tell Lian'er and the others?" While rubbing, Cui Yu kept his eyes on Northwest Heping who was crawling.

The names of the two children are still in dispute, but the baby name has been confirmed, the boy is Northwest and the girl is Heping.Following the childhood name of Huang Daguan Jia Dashuai, the name Northwest Peace can also be suppressed.

"Don't worry, Lian'er and her daughter-in-law are very understanding. Shall we take the children to the streets tomorrow? I heard that there is a western painting shop next to Ningrong Pavilion? The portraits are different from ours. Would you like to draw a picture?"

As Jia She said, he leaned back and picked up one casually: "Grandpa Cui, shall we paint a family portrait? No other candles."

"Of course." Cui Yu saw that Jia Heping, who was being hugged, was not peaceful at all, raised his hand and waved away his grandfather's hand, and laughed: "Okay, don't make trouble with the children, let the nanny take them away, and they will also It's time to sleep. I can go shopping tomorrow after I have enough energy."

"I really want to hold the baby to sleep, but I'm afraid it will be crushed." Jia She reluctantly picked up the baby, motioned Cui Yu to hold the other one, and handed the two children to the nannies waiting outside the door.

When the movement outside the door subsided, Jia Amnesty lay beside Cui Yu, feeling as if he was still in a dream: "Did you know that my grandson has teeth and can bite people."

"That's why you snatched his teething stick, right?"

"How can I be so bearish."

"........."

After joking and joking, they could be regarded as old men and old men blowing the lights to sleep.The next day, Jia Amnesty and Cui Yu put on a little make-up, and then took the stroller to the street.

This cart was made by Li San, a disabled carpenter that Jia Amnesty discovered earlier.After improving the previous baby walker, combined with the cradle and other functions, and borrowing the principle of the carriage, etc., the children's trolley was invented.Take the child out to play. If the child is tired from walking or the adults are tired from carrying them, they can put them in the trolley.

Jia Amnesty must have been very excited, let Cui Yu push the cart, and hugged and hugged him first.Although the child could walk, his grandfather still missed a lot of the child's growth process.Since I can still hug and move, I naturally want to hug more.

Cui Yu asked Dai Ping to push the cart, and he went forward to hug one, and had to bother to find an excuse: "Enhou, do you want a portrait later? It won't look good if you wrinkle the child's clothes."

"That's right. I'll give you peace. This little girl hits me and returns his younger brother." Jia Amnesty glanced left and right, reluctantly giving up one.There is really no way, if the two children are separated by age, it will be fine, and it is really tiring to raise them together.

Fortunately, the family has ancestral property and can afford it.

"Little brother, be good. You will listen to your grandfather later. Smile more. Let's draw a lot of pictures together. When you grow up, you can open them." Jia She raised him up, making them laugh out loud: "Hold it high, are you afraid?"

"Scared!" Jia Xixi nodded solemnly: "I'm not afraid. Huo... Grandpa, fly."

Jia Amnesty looked at his grandson pointing his fingers at the sky, staring at him with dark eyes unblinking, and said seriously, "I don't want to fly. Watch out for many people and fly when I get home." Still flying?I have to educate Huo's stepmother, she has nothing to do with being a big bird.

"Brother, grandfather is fat and can't fly." Jia Heping spoke slowly, slurring each word, trying to enunciate clearly, and raised his eyebrows as he spoke. break the question.

"Xiaohe," Cui Yu patiently explained to others the reason why people have strengths.

The two children were indeed brought up by Jia Lian and his wife at the beginning, but since they were able to leave, they were brought to the old men by the nanny during the day.Because Jia Lian is going to go to the yamen, as for Jia Kong, she is managing Ningrong Pavilion, and she is gradually accepting the property of Rong Mansion and as a member of the Jia family, the property within the clan must also be managed, as well as various banquets. , is also very busy during the day.The young couple will take care of their children for two nights.

But it also shows that the environment has a great influence on people, especially children, who have learned eight or nine.

Jia He nodded with a straight face: "I understand, Grandfather Cui, you hurt..."

Drooling for a while, still not in a hurry, Jia He said calmly: "You love me, grandfather."

"Yes, and our Xiaoping's ability to express is really good." Cui Yu laughed again and again when he heard this.This girl is smart.

"That is, the Jia family is number one."

"it is good."

A group of people talked and laughed and went to the gallery.

Although many missionaries have poured in intermittently since the previous dynasty, they have not been taken seriously. In this dynasty, even the sea trade is booming.But it also secretly and mercilessly attacked the missionaries.There are enough local Buddhist and Taoist sects alone. If the common people believe in God again, it will not be conducive to management.

Therefore, those who were able to enter the territory of the dynasty, settle in the capital and even open a painting gallery, all had to go through layers of investigations, which was short of the investigation of eighteen generations of ancestors.But even so, the secret guards still went to the gallery in advance to clear the venue with a little money.

Although it was not the first time for Jia She to meet a Westerner, he still couldn't help but glance at the golden curly hair, look at the opal-like blue eyes, and feel a bit like a bumpkin.

Other than that, the eyes are still pretty.

"Mr. John, please help our family draw a portrait of your country's brushwork." Cui Yu stepped forward slightly with the child in his arms, blocking Jia She's sight with a little jealousy.

"One... one family?" John looked around, showing a gentle smile: "I understand, although the God we believe in prohibits, love cannot be prohibited, just like Eve and Adam eating the forbidden fruit."

Jia Amnesty smiled gently.Although he didn't know much about it, he felt that people were kind.It's also weird for Bang to read official Chinese.

"Thank you for your blessing." Cui Yu smiled, pulled Jia Amnesty to sit down, and asked someone to pose with the child.

Not only are the two children Jia She, but they are not the ones who can sit still for two or three hours. Cui Yu can just tell stories to others slowly, which can calm them down.

Being able to gain a foothold in the capital by relying on his painting skills, John should be unfamiliar with his strength.When the pen was finished, Jia She took a look at the child in his arms, and besides being lifelike, the warm atmosphere of their family jumped out.

Jia Amnesty was quite satisfied, so he asked for three more paintings, and then he held the child's hand in high spirits and continued to go shopping.He has several bound children's growth picture albums, but there are only two pictures of the four of them together.Today's one, and the other one were drawn by himself when the full moon was full that year, in quadruplicate.

Cui Yu should have made some arrangements and left someone to watch over him.Unexpectedly, it was this arrangement that made some interested people discover the clues. Half a month later, with the latest printing technology, the painting named "Grandfather and Sun Le" was spread in the bookstore in an instant, causing a sensation in an instant.

At this time, Jia Amnesty had just joined the Ministry of Industry for two days, and he was asking the left and right servants to obtain information such as the construction of the dam, and asked to report relevant data to him.After all, there is a new cement formula now, and if possible, he will have to build and consolidate the dam during his term of office.

Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry does not agree with the airborne Jia Amnesty.As a rule, he should be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry.Besides, the matter of the cement is the merit of the former minister, and the achievements of the construction should also be proposed by the current Mr. Li Ge.After all, the elders of the pavilion still have the elders of the chief assistant, and they have to continue to move forward.

The current Shoufu Pavilion is always Zhang Qingshan, and he is also the Minister of the Ministry of Households, presiding over the taxation and land reform.It can also be regarded as a solid political achievement, allowing him to stand in the old pile.But they are old Li Ge, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the queen who was promoted to the old, even though they also served as ministers for one term.But now it was unexpected that there was a replacement. With the crown princess giving birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, can they keep their faction from getting angry?

The left servant of the Ministry of Industry tactfully stabbed Jia Amnesty.Born as a serious Jinshi with eight classics and two grades, I still look down on Jia She's ability to reach such a high position with the three grades as his wife, or as a shelter.

Not to mention knowing the relationship between Jia Amnesty and the emperor, it made him underestimate it even more.

Jia Amnesty said he didn't understand.Although he is still learning a thing or two from time to time over the years, he has never dabbled in strange and remote allusions.

"Master Sun, the scientific examinations have been reformed. Can you be more straightforward with me?" Jia Amnesty turned cold and said unexpectedly, "Are you planning to use your talents to stop the flood? You are in charge of water conservancy."

There is really no one who asks me to recite the information.

Really bad.

Even though he had heard that Jia She was established in Henan with his straightforwardness, it was the first time he heard such straightforward words. Master Sun choked when he heard the words, and looked sideways at the impatient Jia She, feeling a depression in his chest.

"Lord Jia, I'm not as straightforward as you when I'm an official, but I'm an upright person, standing upright like a pine tree." Lord Sun consciously concealed it very well, and looked at Jia She with a lot of contempt.

If it weren't for being in the officialdom and being involuntary, how could a second chair be allowed to show off.

Jia Amnesty: "..."

Jia She frowned, and didn't care what people said.Although the matter between him and Cui Yu is still quite low-key, there are some things that cannot be concealed, such as a look of deep love.It's just that the courtiers are now in a state of suspicion, and they can't make something out of nothing, so that Cui Yu can seize the opportunity and come on another "strike."

Of course, he also knows that Cui Yu is increasing the promotion of "Qi Brothers" year by year.After all, Cui Yu wants to be aboveboard.Now that the crown prince has become a successor, and the eldest grandson is one year old, in case the pressure of public opinion seems to be overwhelming after the publicity, Cui Yu has already decided on a way out of the "Zen position".

On Jia She's side, he thought he met an old antique and didn't care, anyway, the other party was cowardly and didn't have the guts to pierce it.And the official rank crushes people to death.

Jia Amnesty was not polite, he still gave the order, and then buried himself in sorting out the materials he got.

The top and bottom of the Ministry of Industry said something ugly, there is nothing good about it, life can live well, it depends on the Ningfu.This is the attitude towards the patron, hum.

Master Sun was overwhelmed by Jia She, and secretly sought out his old boss.

Hearing this, the old boss frowned, and comforted his former subordinates, but when he turned around, he frowned, and sent his confidants to scatter the paintings he had accidentally obtained earlier.

"Father, aren't you taking too much risk?"

"Once the concubine is crowned, you have to inherit the title of benefactor, then we have to be transferred to an idle position." Li Ge's face was serious: "The position of the crown prince is becoming more and more consolidated now, but the status of our mother But it is not as good as before, especially the concubine Qin who was brought by the crown prince to the northeast. It is said that housekeeping is a good way to manage affairs, and she is quite favored by the emperor. It is said that she is the legacy of the first grandparents. Even if the Jia family is a descendant, it is honored to be favored. It's too much. Don't worry about it now, if the crown prince isn't worried, what about His Royal Highness the eldest grandson?"

"No matter what, now Jia She is the only person in the high position in the Jia family, and Jia Lian is only in the Imperial Academy. We have to let Jia She withdraw from the officialdom."

While talking, Mr. Li Ge came with a lot of meaning.

He secretly guided the public opinion, came to a petition from all the people, and completed the current friendship, but Jia Amnesty also had to enter the harem, cutting off the possibility of interfering in government affairs.

As for Jia Lian and Jia Rong who came into contact with the watch, no matter how capable they are, they are still young, not in high positions, and have no power.
