Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

Jia She felt that Cui Yu made a fuss, this little grass is now the God of Wealth who is the only baby in Ningfu!Now the two of them are not welcome in the gambling houses in the whole capital, and they have to write a letter that the Jia family is not allowed to enter!why?

Isn't it because he is afraid of the child's sensitivity to voice?

So it is normal to hear voices and know someone is there.

Hey... He would rather not know the identity of this child, otherwise his heart would be tumbling in the frying pan every day, and he would have to worry about whether his eldest nephew was still alive before going to bed, and occasionally he would be both civil and military in his sleep, making progress every day.

His nephew is pretty good now, very well-behaved, keeps fit every day, and listens to his father.Although I don't want to go to the barbarian land for a study tour now, I still plan to take a tour around Zhili.Of course, I have to take Staff Yu and the three children with me, and go out for an autumn tour to learn a lot.Now that the enthusiasm for theft cases in Ning Mansion has subsided, it is good to take the children out to play and get rid of those collectors.So this matter is also on the agenda.Send someone to clean the village in advance. Their Jia family also has a Zhuangzi in Zhili. There are three families, six families, and almost every state.He also sent people to collect local customs and places of interest, sort out routes, budget itineraries, etc., and the travel planning was arranged by his nephew.

Even Mr. Yu said that his nephew is not well-adjusted and taught, so he can arrange things properly now.

But Jia Zhen's "good" is only compared to his dandy standard, and she treats her with an uncle's soft light.Regardless of His Highness the crown prince's attitude, Emperor Taixing had clearly talked to him about education.

Thinking about the education standards of Emperor Taixing, almost all the princes are both civil and military.

And what about Jia Zhen?

It's okay if the gambling house doesn't let him in, he invites his friends to play in the hot spring village, oh, it's showing off.He is now in a tizzy, he doesn't look at the betting money, he only cares about winning or losing, he pays attention to killing and crushing, absolute victory.After the gambling is over, it is natural to have a whole set of services, and the village is full of laughter and laughter.

Don't talk about Jia Qiang's vision. She thinks that Jia Zhen is nice and close to others, even Jia Rong and Jia Lian don't want to leave.These three children, when the staff member Yu was distracted by the case, they were not in the mood to study. They watched the troupe perform "Havoc in Heaven" and practiced it by themselves.

He...he felt happy, and then he was beaten up.

Thinking of the emperor's attention to Jia's education brought by Jia Qiang, Jia She couldn't help feeling sad, and shed two cat tears at his children.

The cat cries and the mouse fakes mercy.

In the future, let the pot go to Emperor Taixing, he is the children's favorite loving father/uncle.

Seeing Jia She laughing inwardly, obviously his thoughts were wandering again, Cui Yu stepped forward to take the potted plant from Jia She, put it back by the window, then looked at Jia She silently, thinking seriously about a very serious question .

Jia She is not like him, except for a few fellow students in the capital, he doesn't have much social life, so he doesn't need his wife's banquet.As one of the four princes and eight princes, the Jia family has been rooted in the capital for three generations. Almost all of their connections are in Beijing, and they also need people in the backyard. They are bound to marry again.

Jia Amnesty will remarry, when the time comes...

Cui Yu's expression darkened immediately.Even if there are deed brothers in the south, they can marry wives and have children after forming a deed, but he still can't accept it after thinking about it.

He is not as beautiful as described in the poems. He wants to pursue the so-called "one couple for a lifetime" in love and marriage. He is just considering it from a practical point of view, and it is better to marry only one.

First, marrying a wife costs money.When he was growing up, he saw that there were still people in the village who could not get a wife because their families were poor, and those who could get a wife were already happy.No house, no skills, and the better girls in the village look down on them.Although there are quite a few who are happy to have him as a son-in-law.But what is fancy is just his ability.But he still doesn't have a house.

Although his father had saved some money before, the emperor was also generous.But he had to save the money for Yan'er.The next year, I will be 12 years old. After passing the Tongsheng exam, I will look good.

What the emperor meant was that he would basically stay in Beijing in the future, so since he entered Beijing, he has been secretly looking at the houses. The houses in the east city can't be bought with money, the houses in the west city are too expensive, but the houses in the south city are okay, but it's too far away.

Second, throwing away wives and sons is struck by lightning.On the road of his poor boy studying for the imperial examination, he saw that after high school, he did not want his own wives, divorced his wife and married another, and also saw a young man who deliberately refused to marry a wife, so he wanted to come to Beijing to meet a sweet woman Everyone is a lady, and you will have less struggle for 30 years from now on.

Back then, he was also a young talent. After he became a scholar, many gentry sent matchmakers here.His father chopped the chopping board with a butcher knife and warned him not to forget his roots in life.

Hey... If it wasn't for You Yan'er, he would have just put on a face and turned against Jia Amnesty.After all, he has nothing to worry about alone, and it is good to save 30 years of struggle.As his father said, he was not thick-skinned back then, and he couldn't marry his mother, with such a god-given precious son as him.

The sound of the knife hitting the chopping board seemed to be echoing in his ears, all Cui Yu's thoughts stopped abruptly, his eyes glanced at Jia She, and stopped all his thoughts.

Jia Amnesty, it's too expensive.

Therefore, Cui Yu could only stick to his own principles, and without hesitation, Shang Feng and his master talked to Jia Amnesty about the danger of "skipping work".

"How can you do it with such an attitude?" Cui Yu was heartbroken, hating that iron cannot become steel: "You can't relax yourself and ignore your department's responsibilities because of the strict inspections of other departments. You are the judge of Shuntian Prefecture. Now I can A few words around you, what if one day you are in charge of your own side, what should you do? If you take a step back in a muddleheaded way, others will also take a step back in a muddled way, carelessly, what will you do if something goes wrong? "

Looking earnestly at Jia Amnesty, Cui Yu kept his mouth shut. After all, he didn't mention that example—Jia Zhen was abducted in the past, and there were many "confused accounts" along the way from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River.

Jia Sheng nodded, and didn't feel at ease with Cui Yu's admonition.But after two hours, he was completely relieved.

=====

Because of the meticulous and unselfish Cui Daqingtian admonishing him, Jia Amnesty appeared in the house and interrupted the four motherless children from having a small meeting to discuss how to "reject the stepmother". After a while, Jia Zhen, Staff Yu, Song Xueci, Master Zhong and other invited people also came over one after another, so they ate lively and quickly.

After eating, those who have public positions should be on duty, and those who should play are taken to the streets by Jia Zhen and others.Of course, the accompanying people are naturally inside and outside, and there are many light and dark people.

Cui Yu took Jia Amnesty to talk inside and out about the key points for officials to pay attention to in large-scale festivals-anti-theft, abduction, theft, and fire prevention.

"Fire is the main concern. There are watchtowers in the government office, and there is a group of day and night patrols on weekdays, but when it comes to festivals, in addition to the original patrols, you have to send a group of people to form temporary firefighters to help firefighting." Cui Yudao : "Like today's Mid-Autumn Festival, folks have the custom of lighting lanterns to help the moonlight, so you have to pay special attention. For example, the temple fair in front of Guoqing Temple where a large number of people gather, the lantern festival on Xiuhe Street in Dongcheng, the big banyan tree lantern festival in Nancheng, and The literati and poets in Qingshan outside the city ascended the heights and released Kongming lanterns, these are the top priorities for fire prevention. But even if there are other departments to join forces, there is still not enough manpower, so we must pay attention to some distinctions in the arrangement at this time."

After finishing speaking, Cui Yu looked at Jia Amnesty, with the intention of taking a school exam.

Jia She took the notes and wrote them down again, then thought for a while, and said, "Basically, every store in Dongcheng City will have a small second guard, and basically those young masters go out with their servants, even if they go into the water, there should be enough rescue power. , this place should be guarded against people who show off lanterns and then fight. Guoqing Temple also has temple monks and a special firefighter. These three points should be Nancheng, right? As for the foot of Qingshan Mountain, it is [-]% The soldiers and horse camps were directly guarded." After all, if one accidentally caught fire, it would be a burning mountain.

Cui Yu nodded when he heard the words, and said a few words about the problems of the Nancheng Lantern Festival over the years, then patted Jia Amnesty on the shoulder and said, "Take someone to patrol Nancheng."

Jia Amnesty responded and was about to leave when he looked at Cui Yu who was still in shape: "Aren't you going?"

"There are always people sitting in the government office to deal with all kinds of emergencies." After Cui Yu finished speaking, he looked at Jia Amnesty with some worry.He also wants to follow Jia Amnesty, and there have been many cases in the past few months.But he thought about it again, after all, it was impossible for Jia She to be under his wings for the rest of his life.

Now, try to get used to it.

"Don't worry, Master Cui, I will definitely live up to Master Cui's teachings." Jia Amnesty responded, and took four yamen servants, and went to patrol the Nancheng Lantern Festival.

Seeing that Cui Yuding was watching Jia She go away, his expression was almost like that of Wangfushi, Zhong Ping snorted coldly, and said, "If your lord is worried, why send lord Jia out?"

"Staying by my side will hurt him even more." Cui Yu responded, looked at Zhong Ping, and said, "Brother Zhong can also go out for a walk, this festival in the capital must be very lively. Master Song has also gone out to play, so, you Don't worry about reputation or anything like that."

"I don't have the good opportunity that Mr. Song has." Zhong Ping replied with his head bowed: "I will deal with some official business first. When the time comes, I have to go back to the back office to complete some homework. The rest of the staff are talents, and I listened to his advice earlier. A few words, some understanding."

At first, he was jealous and loathed Jia She, thinking that he would bring trouble to Cui Yu.Later, as I got in touch, I realized that I couldn't get over the jealousy.The distance between him and Jia She, or those who were born rich, is as high as the sky and thick as the earth.

This gap is too big, so big that gradually he has become numb, and even a little grateful.Jia Amnesty knew that he was still preparing for the imperial examination after work, so he asked Yu's staff to give some advice.

For Jia She and the others, it may be a piece of cake, but there is no doubt that this is the way to teach the theory, let him listen to Jun's words better than read ten years of books.

Only by stepping into the gate of the imperial examination by himself, he will not become Cui Yu's vassal, and he can say something.

"Yeah. Brother Zhong, remember to combine work and rest." Cui Yu nodded understandingly. Candidates have no entertainment during the exam preparation period. Like him taking the exam by himself, if it weren't for the candles costing money and hurting his eyes, he wouldn't even want to sleep.But he was also afraid that Zhong Ping would collapse himself too tightly, so he reminded him.

Here, Jia Amnesty also seriously reminded: "Shopkeeper, the police have reminded you once, you can't make such a big bamboo shelf and tie the lantern so high."

The custom of lighting lanterns in Beijing is to hang a large paper-pasted lantern high on a bamboo pole and under the eaves to act as a moon.

After a pause, Jia She said earnestly: "What should I do if the water gets out? I know that the taller the lantern, the more people will see it, and the more people will buy your lantern, but you are so poor..."

Taking a deep breath, Jia She said with a smile on his face, "Your lantern is made of the most ordinary paper, without any fire prevention measures. If the wind blows, what if it blows sideways? Then you will have to lose money." This kind of white lantern has been outdated for a long time, even if it belongs to ordinary people in Nancheng, whoever spends money to buy this crap, it will look better if you paste it yourself.

"You are so old, it's not easy to come out in the cold wind and twelfth lunar month. Let's go back and enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes, okay?" Jia She said while taking out copper coins, "Just think I bought the lantern, okay?"

"My lord, I've been selling lanterns for over ten years, little old man. It's all right!" The old man who sold the lantern sounded forceful when he heard the words, and refused the money directly given by Jia Amnesty. What are you doing? The little old man can eat by his own craftsmanship. Don’t use money to insult me! I have integrity too!”

"Returning your integrity?" Jia Amnesty felt that he was also angry.He didn't believe it when the little policeman came to report him earlier, and he even said that he was ashamed that he could tell the old man back by just relying on his face.I never thought about it, the face is bad, and the money is bad.This sale of lanterns has also improved his personality.

"Then I have to tell you about the law, come and get it for me."

"I hope Master Jia will forgive me." The servant hiding in the crowd saw that Jia Amnesty seemed to be trying to order the captors to force him to tear him down, so he didn't bother to look at each other in secret, so he hurriedly came to explain the reason to Jia Amnesty: "I hope your lord will be accommodating." , The villain is under the family of Mr. Liu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and that is my old man. The old man raised my man by selling lanterns. Now the old man also loves this craft. We servants will watch, and nothing will happen."

"I hope Master Jia will be more accommodating."

Seeing this servant rushing money, Jia She raised his hand to stop him, but he didn't say anything dead, he just asked: "Is it really the old lady of Liu Shilang's family?"

Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Officials seems to be also a direct descendant of his emperor's uncle.

"The villain must not dare to hide it. The head of Yan Bubu also knows the old man a little bit. The old man has been selling lanterns here for eight years during the festivals."

"Really?" Jia She sent Butou to call the firefighters, and Yan Butou was sent to the Dongcheng Lantern Festival.After getting an affirmative reply, Jia She glanced at the old man who was getting more and more angry when he saw the servant, and decided to give Liu Shilang some sympathy, and said: "You look at your old man well, since your old man I love this craft, let Master Liu buy some good materials to paste lanterns for the old man."

The servant of the Liu family smiled bitterly: "The old man sometimes has a childish temper."

"En." Jia She nodded, turned his head and glanced at the old man who was carrying a big bamboo rack with lanterns strung on it. The lights in the lanterns flickered with the wind. Just a reminder, I will go to patrol the streets.

Unexpectedly, before walking more than [-] meters, he heard shouts behind him: "It's flooded!"

Jia She turned his head and looked at the bamboo raft that had become a "flame stand", his complexion turned pale instantly, and he hurried over: "Quick!"
