The Pearl of the Prosperous Age of Red Mansions

Out of anger, he only took the title of Prince Cheng and demoted him to a commoner. This is good. The third prince fought fiercely with the second prince for the throne. The second prince rebelled and died, and his family was demoted to commoners. Framed throwing stones to ask for directions, reaping the consequences and being relegated to common people, these two brothers are really on par, but anyway, the third prince still survived.

An Guogong is not so cheap, An Guogong was executed, several principal criminals in the family were exiled, and the rest were demoted to slaves and handed over to the officials to sell. Wang Yunhu poisoned people first, but he was not the culprit because he was instructed by others, but he deserted before. One thing is also a capital crime, and because of the crime and meritorious service this time, he was spared the death penalty and sentenced to exile, so Wang Yunhu survived the death.

Other people involved in this case and other cases that were uncovered were convicted according to the severity of the crime. Now the emperor has almost wiped out all the people who the third prince has placed in the court for so many years. Some of these Jinshi in the imperial examinations have not yet become officials, and some of the locals with outstanding political achievements have been promoted, and these new Kejinshi are sent to the localities to see if they are mules or horses.

This time, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was a pure victim, and was used by the Duke of Anguo's government as a commander on the battlefield, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials cooperated very actively in this incident, which greatly satisfied the emperor, and he even praised him by name in the court , Minister of the Ministry of Officials had long forgotten that he wanted to take revenge on Jia Zhu before, and smiled very kindly when he saw Jia Zhu.

This time, Jia Zhu's first fire when he took office was unprecedented. It burned down the title of a prince and the life of a duke. Everyone in the capital said, I saw that Mr. Su is amazing before, but if he falls into Mr. Su's hands, he will suffer some living crimes at most. What kind of board is it, and he will be imprisoned. But if he is in the hands of Mr. Jia, hey, this is a matter of brain!

Don't look at Master Jia's young age, he doesn't look so strict, he has a serious face, he's all Bai Wuchang, so Jia Zhu's nickname of "Bai Wuchang" has spread like wildfire.

When Jia Zhu found out, he really couldn't laugh or cry. At the beginning, he really didn't expect that the matter would develop to this point in the end. He could pull out such a big tree by following the vines. The emperor heard about it, but he laughed and said Jia Zhu is his lucky general. In the words of the emperor: "My government orders are much easier to carry out without these people stumbling. Here it is, I want to see if the other imperial brothers dare to cause trouble!"

No one in this world is a blank slate, and everyone who shakes off their body is enough to drink a pot, but as long as they don't cause trouble, can Jia Zhu still find trouble and investigate them?As long as they honestly act like loyal and patriotic princes, the emperor has no intention of killing them all.

The eleventh prince, Prince Li, recovered more than half of his illness this time. When Princess Li greeted the queen, queen mother, and empress dowager in the palace, when she met Jia Mu, Mrs. Hu and Naren Tuoya, she was so kind Forget about energy.

The Fengguo Mansion also sent a plaque of "Clearly Chasing Autumn Hair" to the yamen, and made a deal with Zuiyunlou. In the future, if Zuiyunlou buys wine from Taibaiju, it will always be the lowest price and the best wine, Fengguo Can the Duke not be happy? In order to appease him who was framed this time, the emperor gave Feng Guogong the seized Wenxiangju.

This time, their wine store is the first one in the capital, and no one will follow suit.

Those children of the aristocratic families who were about to make trouble in the capital all stopped. If they want to make trouble, first consider whether they don't want to stay with their heads on their necks?

When people were still talking about this incident, and when everyone in the court was still worried about the fall of officials, the papers of Shi Shaokuan from Fuzhou Prefecture were presented to the imperial court.

Improved farming has doubled the local grain production several times this year. Please submit a booklet for credit?The ears of everyone in the court trembled. They had only heard of those who pleaded guilty, and those who gave credit to others, but never heard of those who pleaded merit to themselves. This Shi Shaokuan is really crazy!

The censors were impassioned, and after a mouthful of foam, the emperor sent this group of censors, a household department, and an official department official to Fuzhou to verify the authenticity.

The one who went to the household department was Wu Ning, a doctor of the Fujian Division. This Wu Ning used to be Jia Zhu's Yuanwai Lang. Jia Zhu knew his character well, so he was relieved.

As for the Ministry of Officials, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and Jia Zhu have a good relationship now, and the fact that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials knows that Shi Shaokuan is Jia Zhu's good friend is not a big problem.

As for the picky censor in this group of eggs?Let's see what else they have to say.

When the people from Fuzhou Mansion came back, as Jia Zhu expected, what the censors said was dry and endless. Wu Ning from the Ministry of Households and Guan Xiao from the Ministry of Officials explained what they saw and what they said. There was an uproar in the court again, this kind of thing is really unheard and unseen, very fresh!

The emperor was very happy, and the imperial pen bestowed the words "diligent and promising" to Shi Shaokuan. He also said that it was very fresh to hear what they said about these things. Kung Fu brought a batch and put them in the main hall. The officials opened their eyes, and the emperor said that he wanted to have fun with the people, so he put these things in front of the Drum Tower on West Street in the capital to open the eyes of the people.

The common people like to join in the fun, not only people from the capital city come to see it, but people from the surrounding area also come to the city to see it after hearing about it. Later, people from farther places, if they have nothing to worry about, also rush to see it See let the emperor say what fresh things look like.

My eyes are wide open, some of them are quick-witted and think more, and try to do something like a gourd painting. After all, this is a good thing. Once you get started, you will find the benefits naturally. You don’t need to do anything from the court. You have always been the most hardworking The ordinary people started to use it spontaneously, and many smart people began to modify it according to the convenience of their own use.

The imperial court is like this, and the courtiers haven't noticed anything wrong yet. The emperor's reforms have begun to spread among the people silently.

Originally, some ministers were waiting to see what kind of reward the emperor would give Shi Shaokuan. If it could be a shortcut to promotion, they could squeeze more taxes to make up for it. It turned out that Shi Shaokuan was neither promoted nor rewarded with gold and silver, but got four Big characters, these people curled their lips and put this matter aside.

As the saying goes, counting at one stroke, Xiao Ze also sighed to Jia Zhu: "Xiao Shiwu has really made progress. According to his previous temper, how could he think of so many things. Lin Ruhai, Taifu Lin, is really a capable person!"

"In your uncle's eyes, you always regard him as a child, but how old are you? How old are these people who have made a difference now? Exactly, since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, and it's not bad at all!" Jia Zhu thought in his heart. I am very happy, the way is too drastic and vigorous for a while, but it is unknown how it will end up in the end. However, this kind of silent change is finally brewing together, but I can see real benefits. At the beginning, they only The idea that can be bored in the heart is now becoming a reality step by step, how can it make people not excited?

The 110th Fourth General Returns to Beijing to Conjecture Why Many Commanders Are Appointed

The most industrious and intelligent people from ancient times to the present are the people in the world. Sometimes what they lack is ideas, and once a door is opened, all kinds of light follow, just like this time the capital city was very sensational, many people Some began to imitate, and everyone even spontaneously improved according to their own conditions. This topic has been going on for a long time and has not been silent.

There was no need for the imperial court to promulgate policies and distribute money, everything just started like this, and the number of cases in Shuntian Mansion has decreased a lot recently, and Jia Zhu's life in the yamen has become much more leisurely.

At this time, Xiao Cheng and other brigades who went to the Duhu Mansion for handover had already completed the handover. Not long after Jia Cong’s letter came back to report safety, Guo Shiyun returned to the capital with his direct descendants. The court had just experienced a big purge. Nerves tensed up again.

The first emperor had great trust in Guo Shiyun, and he had been re-elected in the Duhu Mansion for so many years. Basically, Guo Shiyun controlled the appointment of all officials in the Duhu Mansion. It can be said that he was the local emperor of one side, and the first emperor favored him. , so what about the current emperor?

As we all know, Guo Shiyun has no friendship with the fifteenth prince back then, and many people also know that the relationship between Guo Shiyun and Xiao Ze dropped to a freezing point during the Northern Expedition. Who knows if it's true or not?

There are people in the court who have nothing to do with themselves and watch the excitement, and some secretly worry that the emperor will get involved in some old things by cleaning up Guo Shiyun, and those who have a close relationship with Guo Shiyun are very worried. Of course, Jia Zhu thinks about it Do you think you are familiar with Guo Shiyun?

I haven't seen each other for so many years, and there is no human relationship between the Jia family and General Guo's mansion, but General Guo took good care of him when he was in the barracks. This General Guo is therefore considered to be concerned.

Based on Jia Zhu's understanding of the emperor, it is unlikely that the emperor will punish Guo Shiyun, but whether the emperor will reuse Guo Shiyun is really uncertain. One is that Guo Shiyun did not have friendship with the emperor back then, and the other is that there is no stability around him now. For the war, the Duhu Mansion was handed over to Xiao Cheng, whom the emperor trusted very much, and the Shenjing Guard in the capital would not change in a short time with Zhao Feng taking over.

Jia Zhu was a little confused, so she talked to Xiao Ze first, one person can't figure out why just thinking about it like this, two people talking, maybe they will find some things that one person ignores, whenever Jia Zhu encounters any embarrassment He would always discuss with Xiao Ze about anything, and every time he would be enlightened.

But this time, when Xiao Ze heard Jia Zhu talk about Guo Shiyun, his expression suddenly changed.

"I didn't hear that the two of you have friendship. Why do you care so much about him?" Xiao Ze has a good memory, and he even recalled the memories of the Northern Expedition. The most annoying thing in it is Guo Shiyun.

Thinking of the small medicine bottle that Jia Zhu regarded as a treasure, hmph, he even specially asked the military doctor to make a bottle of medicine with the best medicinal materials, but Guo Shiyun preempted it!And that night, how could anyone hug someone like that, no, why did Guo Shiyun hug his Jia Zhu? !

The jealous Xiao Ze had forgotten that at that time he was still hesitating whether to give up his dense forest for the grass of Jia Zhu!

"Who said that? Friendship doesn't come out until we're together every day. When I first arrived in the barracks, I remembered how kind General Guo was to me. At that time, I was young, and secondly, I come from a family, no one thinks highly of me, but the way General Guo looks at me is no different. I really think that I am a soldier, and every time I feel bitter in my heart, I don’t feel bitter when I think of General Guo. It's gone." Jia Zhu couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion when recalling that year.

The soreness in Xiao Ze's heart was almost drowned by vinegar, he hugged Jia Zhu, Xiao Ze said sourly, "Did I treat you badly back then?"

Jia Zhu blinked her eyes and thought for a while: "Well, let me think about it, I remember that you brought a young man named Luliu along with the army, and it seems that you have been 'sleeping' all night, huh?"

The word "servant" was heavily emphasized, Jia Zhu raised her eyebrows, and glared at Xiao Ze with a cold snort. If Xiao Ze didn't turn over the old accounts from the time in the barracks today, he would really forget about it. Well, it's really too late for him to be jealous, but today Xiao Ze is very angry, he wants to take a picture of his arrogance!

Xiao Ze smiled: "I didn't do anything at that time. When I think of your face, I feel weak, and I can't arouse any interest in others. Hey, sorry for me struggling and suffering at that time. I'm so miserable. I'm afraid I'll scare you away if I'm too impatient, otherwise, I'll lock you on the bed and not let you go to the ground."

It was really something that Xiao Ze could do. Jia Zhu's heart softened. With Xiao Ze's personality, facing the temper that no one would change, he lowered his attitude to himself again and again. Jia Zhu leaned his back against Xiao Ze's. Ze's arm was broken, and the two of them held hands together. Jia Zhu said, "You are jealous all day long. I have never had any other thoughts about General Guo."

How can Xiao Ze not understand Jia Zhu's thoughts, but he is sour, which is really a headache, Xiao Ze muttered a few words, then sighed and said: "You don't have to worry about it, Guo Shiyun is going back to Beijing this time It's not a bad thing, but a good thing. Xiao Shiwu was like you when he was young, and he admired the famous general Guo Shiyun very much. Although he doesn't talk about it now, he probably hasn't given up this idea in his heart. What's more Guo Shiyun has no friendship with any of these princes, he is regarded as a pure minister of the prince, Xiao Shiwu will not make things difficult for him."

Jia Zhu listened to it, tasted it, and suddenly turned around: "No, you said half of what you said, what do you mean by 'not a bad thing but a good thing'?"

Xiao Ze smiled: "There is a place, but there are deep worries. It needs a capable and trustworthy person to take over. The emperor is going to use Guo Shiyun."

Jia Zhu was taken aback, thought for a while, then raised her head suddenly: "Could it be the navy?"

"That's right, the navy of the Ministry of War is not doing well nowadays, and the group of sailors trained by the shipyard are better than them. Nowadays, the ambitious foreigners may harass them at any time, and the group of pirates they colluded with also occupy the islands on the vast sea. Song them, we already know where they are hiding, but we don't have enough people to encircle them, they are very cunning, and they refuse to go ashore easily, they know that the imperial court has no warships capable of fighting at sea." After Xiao Ze finished speaking, Jia Zhu couldn't help but Boss is not a taste.

"Hey, if I were still in the Haiyun Yamen, I would be the first to know about these things."

In detail, from entering the official career to the present, the significance of the post of Governor of Shipping to Jia Zhu is unusual. He was the one who suggested shipping to the late emperor. Later, the shipping office was established from the beginning to the right track. Needless to say, it took a lot of hard work. Jia Zhu felt that the errands in the Haiyun Yamen excited him more than any other errands. Starting from scratch was more exciting than icing on the cake.

Not to mention that Jia Zhu entrusted Shi Shaokuan with the matter about the art of war, Jia Zhu glanced at Xiao Ze, that's all, what Xiao Ze was doing was the same as what he was doing, Xiao Ze smiled and took Jia Zhu into his arms , "Just now you said that I eat vinegar, you are jealous for no reason, and you still eat my vinegar, hey!"

Jia Zhu snorted: "It means that I feel bad for a while, and I can't help myself in the officialdom. Even if I am not transferred to Shuntian Mansion this time, I can't be the Governor of Shipping for the rest of my life, just like an adult, raising my children. Well, the child belongs to someone else."

"What are you thinking about in your head?" Xiao Ze laughed, and turned the topic back to Guo Shiyun, "If the emperor sends Xiao Cheng or Zhao Feng, I won't say anything about trust, but it's too eye-catching. He has tasted the sweetness of working in secret, I think he is addicted!"

Jia Zhu nodded: "However, it is also a good thing. After all, General Guo has been marching and fighting for many years. He has many battles, and he is humble and studious. It is really seamless for him to command this emerging navy."

Jia Zhu relaxed his mind, Xiao Ze ordered the cook to prepare meals, and Xiao Ze would not let him go after he was full of wine and food. Jia Zhu asked Liu Fang to go back to Jia's mansion, saying that the yamen had something to do and would not go back at night. So he rested in the palace overnight.

At the first court meeting in the first lunar month, the emperor praised Guo Shiyun's contribution to guarding the Duhu Mansion for so many years in front of the civil and military officials of the whole court, and then let Guo Shiyun rest in the capital with a very pleasant face.

The word rest had a different meaning to the ears of the officials. Everyone looked at Guo Shiyun with all kinds of eyes, but Guo Shiyun was very calm, and thanked him for returning to the ranks.

When the meeting was over, Jia Zhu went back to work in the yamen, and asked Liu Fang to go back to the mansion to pick up a jar of medicinal wine and send it to the yamen.

When it was time, Jia Zhu came out from the government office, took the altar, and rode to the General's Mansion.

Guo Shiyun is called a Confucian general, so he naturally has a bit of gentle temperament. He is different from the rough generals, and he doesn't look arrogant, but this person doesn't like socializing very much. When the general's mansion was at its peak, it was very quiet. Now it can be described as deserted.

Jia Zhu went to the door to hand over the greeting card. After a while, Guo Shiyun came to the door in person. He hadn't seen him for many years, but he didn't feel particularly strange. The two talked while walking. Jia Zhu looked at Guo Shiyun, who had worked hard in the bitter cold frontier for so many years. However, Guo Shiyun did not appear old, but became more and more restrained, like a sword in its sheath.

"General Guo, this wine is the most beneficial. I got a few jars a while ago and haven't had a chance to taste it. How about we two have a drink today?"

Guo Shiyun nodded with a smile, and glanced at the wine jar. There was a sign of Wenxiangju on the wine jar. Although Guo Shiyun had just returned to the capital, he had heard a lot about the recent major events in the capital, let alone the incident involving Prince Cheng. Back then during the Northern Expedition, he naturally knew everything about it. When he saw the wine jar, he guessed that it was a thank-you gift from Duke Feng. Looking at Jia Zhu now, Guo Shiyun was also quite moved.

I still remember that the first time I saw Jia Zhu was at Lianbi Racecourse. At that time, he mistakenly thought Jia Zhu was a child prostitute. Later, in the military camp, seeing Jia Zhu again was like seeing himself back then. , but looking at it now, he is still a warrior, and Jia Zhu has surpassed him by too much now, and it is inevitable that he will become the cabinet minister in the future. It is really unpredictable.

Jia Zhu noticed Guo Shiyun's lonely mood, and knew in his heart that the emperor had not communicated with Guo Shiyun. Although Jia Zhu understood in his heart, he knew that such words could not come out of his mouth, so he just chatted with Guo Shiyun about the Northern Expedition At the end, Jia Cong was mentioned.

"My younger brother is very stubborn. He is determined to be a great general. This time he followed Xiao Cheng to the Duhu Mansion. Now the letter has come back to report his safety, but the family is still very worried."

Jia Zhu was just chatting with Guo Shiyun, but Guo Shiyun didn't expect Guo Shiyun to know Jia Cong.

"General Xiao has a commander named Jia Cong. I heard that he was born as a champion of martial arts. When General Xiao first arrived in the Duhu Mansion, he re-selected the leaders of each battalion. Jia Cong stepped down immediately and was quite skilled with a gun. Where is he your brother?"

Jia Zhu nodded, it must be Jia Cong, Guo Shiyun laughed: "Your Jia family is really a generation of talented people, I think Jia Cong has a bright future, he is a talented general!"

Jia Zhu smiled helplessly: "His hard work is much better than mine back then, but I'm only worried that he's reckless and not cautious enough."

Guo Shiyun didn't take it seriously when he heard the words: "It's natural for you as a brother to say so, but in my opinion, this Jia Cong has a bit of wisdom and stupidity."

Jia Zhu couldn't help but smile after thinking about it: "I hope so."

The two of them were chatting, Guo Shiyun was open-minded in the first place, and he felt a little emotional when he compared himself and Jia Zhu just now, but now he has let go. After so many years of military service, if he can really let go of all the errands and be an unofficial and light-hearted man , it might not be a good thing.

Just as I was talking, I suddenly heard a girl's voice: "Father!" Then the sound of footsteps gradually became clearer, and a little girl who was no more than seven or eight years old ran in from outside, with sweat on her forehead, covered in Dressed neatly and holding a pair of knives in her hands, the little girl couldn't help but stop when she saw outsiders entering the room.

Guo Shiyun glared at her: "Ying'er, there are guests here, what are you doing?"

Jia Zhu hurriedly laughed and said, "General Guo doesn't have to be like this, this is Miss Guo?"

Guo Shiyun has a son and a daughter, which Jia Zhu has never seen before, but seeing this girl Guo Ying now, she has a look of vigor, she is worthy of being the daughter of a general.

Guo Shiyun glared at Guo Ying again: "I haven't seen Uncle Jia yet."

Guo Ying glanced at Jia Zhu several times, how could this young man look like an uncle?But now that his father has spoken, Guo Ying will naturally greet Jia Zhu. There are not many guests who come to Guo's mansion, and the guests who come to Guo Shiyun are even fewer. Most of them are close friends for many years. Guo Ying has also seen these uncles and uncles. , but now this is the first time seeing Jia Zhu, Guo Ying is quite curious about him.

Knowing that Jia Zhu is the Governor of Shuntian Mansion, Guo Ying couldn't help but widen his eyes: "It turns out that Uncle Jia is impermanent!"

Jia Zhu is embarrassing, this nickname has been passed down for too long, even a little girl knows it, and Guo Shiyun glared for the third time: "What is it like to be so crazy, don't hurry up!"

After Guo Ying left, Guo Shiyun complained bitterly: "I was spoiled by her mother, and now she is eight years old, and she still looks like a crazy girl, what will happen in the future!"

Jia Zhu is also experienced in "education" now, and he couldn't help spitting water with Guo Shiyun. Of course, it was Baoyu who was mentioned: "My younger brother was also spoiled by his grandmother since he was a child, and I am also having a headache."

The more they talked, the more speculative they became. Just this one night's effort, the two of them had almost become friends. By the time Jia Zhu left the general's mansion, it was already past Ding Gentian.

As soon as he turned a corner and arrived, he was blocked by a familiar figure. Xiao Ze opened the car curtain, his eyes were fixed.

"If you don't come out again, I will go in and hug you out myself!"

Of course, Xiao Ze knew in his heart that he just said that if he really dared to do this, Jia Zhu would have to turn against him.

"You really are!" Jia Zhu helplessly let Xiao Ze pull him into the sedan chair next to him, and he couldn't go back to the house tonight.

Xiao Ze hugged Jia Zhu, thinking in his heart, Guo Shiyun had better go to Fujian to take up his post as soon as possible!

The emperor is indeed Xiao Ze's nephew, just when Xiao Ze was planning to get Guo Shiyun out of the capital as soon as possible, the emperor's decree had already been issued, and Guo Shiyun was hand-picked as the commander of the Fujian capital, and he took office immediately.

Before the appointment was issued, the emperor had summoned Guo Shiyun to the palace once. Although Guo Shiyun had drank with Jia Zhu, he had felt the emotion of disarming his armor and returning to the land, and being without an official. At that time, I couldn't help but feel like returning to my youth, full of enthusiasm, and I couldn't tell what it was like.

Outsiders don't know the inside story. In their eyes, Guo Shiyun's appointment can be regarded as exile. What kind of place is Fujian? What was thought to be a backcountry is now a peach blossom garden.

Before Guo Shiyun left, Jia Zhu went to Guo's mansion again on purpose, and mentioned that Shi Shaokuan, the magistrate of Fuzhou Prefecture, was his close friend. If Guo Shiyun came to Fujian, he could ask Shi Shaokuan for help. Guo Shiyun already knew about it from the emperor. Shi Shaokuan was "one of his own", so he naturally nodded in response, and then glanced at Jia Zhu, Jia Zhu can be regarded as the hero who opened the Haiyun Yamen.

"Although I have marched and fought for many years, I don't know anything about naval warfare. You are the first governor of shipping and have traveled south with ships many times. What experience do you have?" Guo Shiyun's greatest strength is humility.

Chapter 110 Fifth Letter from Jinling

Jia Zhu smiled: "I don't have much experience, but I entrusted Brother Shi to help recruit capable people from the local area. The two of us thought that the art of war from ancient times to the present, but naval warfare was a blank space, so we wanted to come up with something new. , what does General Guo think?"

Guo Shiyun's eyes lit up with a swipe. How could Guo Shiyun not know the pros and cons of the art of war? Looking at Jia Zhu this time, Guo Shiyun's evaluation of Jia Zhu immediately rose again.

Jia Zhu was also happy in his heart. He and Shi Shaokuan had many difficulties in imagining the art of war. Although he could not say that he was talking about war on paper, it was actually the same, Shi Shaokuan was even more so, but Guo Shiyun was different, and he wanted to build a navy, but he could actually fight. Guo Shiyun took the lead in this art of war, that would be a great thing.

Guo Shiyun, who is full of enthusiasm, seems to have returned to his youth. In a few days, he will take up his post and go to Fuzhou. This time, he does not know how long it will take to return to Beijing, and Fuzhou is not as dangerous as outside the Great Wall, so Guo Shiyun also took it with him His wife, a son and a daughter went there, and during the time before leaving, Jia Zhu was a frequent visitor to the General's Mansion.

As for the jealous Xiao Ze, of course, during this period of time, his lover gave him a lot of food. After Guo Shiyun left, his days were really relaxed, but Jia Zhu knew in his heart that this was just the calm before the storm.

From farming to military affairs, the emperor has already done a lot without sensuality. Now these forces are accumulating, and will eventually erupt one day in the future. The shock caused by that time is really too small to describe it as a storm.

How long will it take, maybe five years, maybe ten years, or longer, but Jia Zhu didn't feel any impatience, because the longer the time, the deeper the foundation will be, and the less likely it will be to be overthrown , to meet the impact, how can we not do this?And, more importantly, Jia Zhu couldn't help laughing when thinking of the emperor's young and heroic face, they are still young!

Waiting does not mean boring and long. Although no one in Shuntian Mansion dares to make trouble for no reason, there are still many large and small disputes and lawsuits. Since he became the Governor of the Mansion, Jia Zhu has taken over many bizarre cases.

The emperor in the palace is still full of vitality, and has discovered a lot of available talents from young scholars. Among them is a man named Ma Cong, Jia Rong and the others fell off the list this year, and Enke won the first class three years later. The second place, working in the Imperial Academy, is highly regarded by the emperor. Lin Ruhai also praised Ma Cong, saying that he is very pragmatic and does not talk empty words, and is a man of the world.

Jia Zhu has heard Ma Cong's name a lot, but he has never seen it. When he really saw it, Jia Zhu was taken aback. There was no other reason. It was the scholar who blatantly expressed his dissatisfaction with himself and Haiyun in the Zuiyun Tower, and then was scolded by an old man and ran away with a bloody head and a red face!

Sophisticated? !Jia Zhu raised her eyebrows, well, it's not that he holds grudges, but that this kind of evaluation is too scary for the person in front of him.

When Ma Cong saw Jia Zhu, he was not in a hurry, and made a deep bow: "Master Jia, if I hadn't been scolded because of you back then, maybe now I would be like my former classmates and become a Incompetent people."

Obviously, Jia Zhu was slightly taken aback, and the emperor was very curious about it. After repeated questioning, Ma Cong did not hide his childish thoughts back then. After telling the truth, the emperor's evaluation of Ma Cong went up again. Lou, of course, the emperor laughed and said to Jia Zhu: "I just say, you are my lucky general!"

Jia Zhu smiled helplessly. In fact, he really had nothing to do with this matter. Ma Cong was not the only one who heard the old man's words. Ability.

Ma Cong, who was the most dismissive of shipping back then, after so many years of dedicated research, has unique insights into shipping. After the term of Hanlin expired, the emperor transferred Ma Cong to the shipping office to be Xiao Ze's deputy.

In fact, most of Ma Cong's insights are very effective, and Xiao Ze is finally ready to take off his job as the Governor of Shipping and concentrate on listening.The past few years have exhausted Xiao Ze, not to mention that shipping is not his strong point, and Jia Zhu secretly helped him a lot.

Just at the moment when he was free, an urgent letter came from Jinling. It was a letter written by Mrs. Wang. Recently, Mrs. Wang’s health has been deteriorating, and now it’s time to just survive. So the letter asked Jia's family to fulfill the marriage contract they made back then.

The two children were also old enough to get married. When Mrs. Wang's letter arrived, Mother Jia felt uncomfortable after reading it.

Jia's family began to prepare for the marriage, although it was very hasty, but the matter was urgent and they didn't care about it. Fortunately, it was not the first time for Jia's family to hold a wedding, so it was not too busy. Jia Zhu was not busy recently, and she was very orderly when she followed the help It was Jia Lian who made the arrangements, but Jia Lian, the groom this time, was a little embarrassed.

When the Wang family came to the capital to celebrate the late emperor's birthday, he also met Wang Xifeng. Although he forgot a lot of things at that time, he still remembered what his little fiancee looked like. He didn't know what the little girl looked like now. ?

Thinking of how his younger sisters look different today, Jia Lian also imagined in his heart that his friends outside these years, besides the children of family acquaintances, because of the relationship between running a shop, there are also many friends of various religions. Of course, if there were too many entertainments, he would naturally have some ridiculous things.

But at home, Jia Lian didn't confiscate any maid, and he didn't know why, he would rather spend money to keep a maid outside for a period of time.

Little girl... Thinking of those eyes that I still remember so clearly after so many years, Jia Lian felt very happy, and continued to prepare things for getting married.Speaking of avoiding suspicion, time is in a hurry now, and there are not so many rules.

When the day of marriage was settled, people from the Wang family came to clean up the yard on the capital side, and let Wang Xifeng get married in Beijing. The dowry brought by the Wang family from Jinling was also priceless. The dowry is also extremely rich and decent.

Wang Xifeng's marriage can also be regarded as the fact that Shili Hongzhuang has earned a lot of respect, but in fact, the Wang family knows in their hearts that the Wang family and the Jia family are now worlds apart.

Since the death of the first emperor, the only old lady Wang could count on was the old minister's friendship, which disappeared with the succession of the new emperor. The Wang family is really lonely this time. The property in the family has been accumulated for so many years. The Wang family, which claims to be inferior to even the Dragon King, is now in a situation of relying on its laurels.

Even the Xue family is now more and more proud of their relationship with the Jia family with the title of imperial merchant.

Jia Lian had a vague fondness for Wang Xifeng since she was a child. Now that they are husband and wife, they are naturally very affectionate, and none of the things that Wang Xifeng thought at first happened.
