Winning every step of the Red Mansion

207

Jia Lian showed Jia She the road paved with the new method, and Jia She felt that this method saves time, labor and labor, which is quite good, and it is also feasible if it is donated.It's just how to contribute, but it makes the father and son a little worried.It's just that before a solution has been discussed, someone from the mansion reported that Lin Ruhai had come, and Jia Amnesty rushed to meet him.

Jia Amnesty hurried to the study, and saw Lin Ruhai already sitting and drinking tea.It has been more than a year since they met last time. Although it has been a few days since Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing this time, he has not officially met because of business.Seeing Jia Amnesty, Lin Ruhai hurriedly got up and bowed his hands in salute: "Brother, you are safe and sound. When you return to Beijing, there are so many chores to do at your own time. Ruhai made a special trip to apologize to his brother today."

Jia She hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "Sister-in-law is heretic. You don't have to worry about such small things. If you are free today, you and I should have a good chat." Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "This is exactly what I want, I also have important matters You have to discuss it with your brother."

Jia Amnesty felt a little strange when he heard this. It was normal for him not to come here for a chat after a long time, but Lin Ruhai's official career was smooth, and now he could return to Beijing because he might have been appointed again.It is reasonable for such a person to discuss matters with him.But on the contrary, it made me feel a little strange.But this idea also passed by in a flash, and I didn't think much about it.The two sat down as guests and hosts, and the servants served tea, so Jia Amnesty ordered everyone to go down, so they didn't have to wait around.

The two first chatted about their recent situation this year, Jia She then asked about Lin Ruhai's performance of duties in Beijing, and Lin Ruhai answered them one by one.Lin Ruhai also asked about Jia Hu and Jia Lian's imperial examination. Jia Amnesty also took Jia Hu's article and read it with Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai naturally praised and commented after reading it.

"After returning to Beijing this time, the defense of the capital seems to have changed again." Lin Ruhai suddenly changed the subject.Jia She said: "If my sister-in-law hadn't mentioned this matter, I wouldn't have paid much attention to it. If I calculated it this way, the infantry commander in charge of the Nine Gates had changed twice in the past two years, but the Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp has always been The younger brother and younger brother Wang Ziteng are in charge. I wonder why my sister-in-law suddenly mentioned this matter?"

Lin Ruhai nodded and replied: "I'm just weird too. The defense of the capital is of course important, but it's changed frequently every year. The former commander has some old friends with my Lin family. I wanted to say hello when I returned to Beijing. After all, the house moved back, and I hoped that he could take care of him, but unexpectedly, he changed people. I had a brief chat with him, but I was quite unhappy. So I also asked this question. But I also heard that this position is not needed. It will change in a few days."

Jia Amnesty was also surprised when he heard this: "There will be changes? If so, it will be changed every two years." Lin Ruhai nodded and said with a smile: "But brother, who will be the successor this time?"

Jia She frowned: "How do I, an idle general, know about such things? Did my sister-in-law get some rumors?" Lin Ruhai nodded: "I heard some rumors. Speaking of this successor, you and I are familiar with it, right? Others are also relatives in our family." Lin Ruhai lowered his voice slightly and said, "I heard that the successor is Bao Linghou's younger brother Shi Ding." Jia She smiled when he heard that: "It's a good thing for my cousin, not to mention the promotion , it’s much better to stay in the capital than to run around all the time.” Jia She paused and asked, “How did my sister-in-law know about this? Are you sure about this?”

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "At least seven or eight points." Jia Amnesty slapped his hands and said, "This time, I would like to thank my sister-in-law for telling me about this, and I want to give my cousin a congratulatory gift early. " Lin Ruhai hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry about this matter, and don't let the wind leak out. After all, such important things can't be announced until they are implemented."

Jia Amnesty nodded repeatedly and said: "Of course I know about this matter, I will never let it out, thank you sister-in-law for letting me know." Lin Ruhai nodded, and said: "I don't know if my brother knows about another matter. I have heard some songs after returning to Beijing for a few days , the content is about the mansion..."

Jia Amnesty frowned again when he heard this: "Could it be something new? There must be someone trying to punish our Jia family behind this matter." Lin Ruhai also had a serious face: "I don't know if what I heard is new, But it would be inappropriate to let this matter go on like this." Lin Ruhai paused and then told Jia She the nursery rhyme he had heard.

Jia Amnesty frowned and remained silent after hearing this. The version that Lin Ruhai heard had a few more sentences than the previously circulated version, and said it in more detail.It seems that someone specially updated it.After a while, Jia She said: "It seems that someone is eyeing our Jia's mansion and doing it on purpose. I don't know why, and I won't hide it from my sister-in-law, this is just one of them. I sent people to investigate the source, but there was no way to find out later, and finally it was nothing. I thought that this matter would be forgotten after a long time, but now it seems that it is not the case."

Lin Ruhai nodded after hearing this and said, "Then brother, do you know who the mansion has offended?" Jia She said: "This mansion is now a big business, maybe there are secrets and overt things. Besides, there may be jealousy that doesn't allow us to see our mansion. Excellent. It's really hard to guess."

"It's easy to hide a spear in the open and it's hard to defend against an arrow in the dark. Now there are many factions in the court, and now this prestigious mansion should be careful. But this matter can't be left alone." Lin Ruhai paused and said: "Or else first Report to the governor of the capital and order him to investigate the matter strictly, and it is not a trivial matter to slander important officials in the capital."

Jia She shook his head and said, "I have also discussed this with Cun Zhou, but although the ballad is ironic, the things said are indeed done by the mansion, just let it be arranged like this, all good things will become Bad thing. If you go to sue, if you can't find out anything and then do it again, I'm afraid you will be censored."

Lin Ruhai also frowned upon hearing this, and remained silent for a moment, then said: "Brother Cai just said that this is just one of them. What else is there?" Jia She sighed after hearing this, and instead of listening to what he had learned from his family, Lin Ruhai frowned even more. deep lock.Seeing this, Jia Amnesty felt embarrassed, remembering that Lin Ruhai had mentioned that he needed to discuss something with him, he hurriedly said: "My sister-in-law came to the mansion today, and only talked about some troublesome things, it really shouldn't be. Remembering that my sister-in-law said that I have something to discuss today, I don't know what it is?"

Lin Ruhai cupped his hands at Jia She and said, "This time I'm here to thank my elder brother for his arrangement. I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the house for a while longer. Although the old house has been cleaned for a long time, it still needs some repairs. This time I will stay in Beijing to work, I should have another mansion, so I don’t care about moving, but I am afraid that my wife and children will be too tired, so I can only talk to my brother with the cheek.”

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he laughed and said, "What should I do? It's this matter. Sister-in-law, you are too out of touch. Don't say that you want to live longer this time. It's a happy event. Even if you want to move away in the future, I'm afraid it will be counted against me." Yes, the old lady still shouldn't. But you haven't seen how happy the old lady was before her sister returned to Beijing. All day long, she was talking about her sister and her granddaughter whom she hadn't met. Come here, not to mention staying for a few more days, even staying for three to five years is not a problem."

Lin Ruhai also smiled and said: "Please trouble the old lady for thinking about it, so thank you brother for taking care of me." The two chatted for a while, and Lin Ruhai got up to leave.

Jia Amnesty originally wanted to tell Lin Ruhai about the road-building prescription, and also asked his opinion to see if he could come up with a good idea, but because Jia's mother repeatedly told him not to tell others about it, he had to let it go.Sitting in the study for a while, I thought of Shi Ding's promotion and felt happy for him.If this happened a year or so ago, it would be great if General Shi knew about it before he died.At this time, Jia Amnesty's mood improved, and he ordered people to prepare pens and inks. He wanted to write a congratulatory post and Shi Fu first, so that he could use it when Shi Dingzhen was promoted.As soon as I wrote a few words, another servant came to report that the new stele engraved by the Forest of Steles Hall was ready and had been delivered, and Jia Amnesty was asked to go and have a look.

After hearing this, Jia Amnesty put down his pen again, put away the congratulatory stickers, and hurried to the forest of steles.The font of this newly engraved inscription is derived from the extension of Song Huizong's "Zongfang Poetry Post".The other piece is "Diamond a Sutra" copyrighted by Liu Gong.Jia Amnesty was delighted to see it.Since the construction of this forest of steles, we have had the help of many celebrities and people with lofty ideals to achieve today's results.Jia Amnesty wandered around in this forest of steles, feeling even more ambitious.

After walking for a while, I found that there was a problem with the road to the Forest of Steles.This courtyard was originally paved with bricks and tiles, but because of the heavy stone stele, at first it was unrecognizable for a few pieces, but with the scale it is today, these bricks and tiles have long been overwhelmed and broken a lot.When Jia Amnesty took a look, he had an idea.He hurriedly ordered someone to call Jia Lian over.

Jia Lian heard that it was his father who came to look for him, so he didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurried to the forest of steles. After the discussion, after dinner, Mrs. Zhang ordered someone to invite her before returning home.

The next day, Jia Amnesty went to Zhongjing Wang's mansion to pay homage to him.Already familiar with Prince Zhongjing's mansion, and Jia She was like this, Prince Zhongjing was also taken aback and said: "What's going on today? You let a general like you come here in person?"

Jia She said respectfully: "I really want to ask the prince for something. There are two new inscriptions in this forest of steles. I hope I can invite the prince for the unveiling." Tie, secondly, you, the curator, can do the unveiling yourself. Why do I need to go?"

Jia She hurriedly said: "I shouldn't bother the prince. It's just that if the two inscriptions hadn't been made by the prince in the past, I'm afraid they won't be able to see the world today." "Fang Shitie" and Liu Gongquan's "Diamond a Sutra"

"So that's it, I already got these two yuan? That's worth my journey, and it's not in vain for me to help you in the past."

Jia Amnesty laughed and said, "It's so good. After three days, I will welcome the prince in person."

Three days passed in a flash, and Prince Zhong Jing arrived as promised.Jia Amnesty had already led the people in the forest of steles to wait outside the courtyard, but Jia Lian was also accompanying him this time.

The unveiling of the stele was quite simple. After the cannon was fired, the prince also praised a few words as usual, and walked around in the forest of steles.It's just that the prince walked a little slower than usual this time.After a while, Prince Zhongjing said: "Perhaps I haven't been here for a long time, why do I feel that this forest of steles is quite different from the last time I came?"

The author has something to say: Shi Fei'er: Yoyo, I haven't seen my skills for a few days, and now I have learned to set people up.good!

Jia Amnesty: Old lady, I was also inspired by you and got your true biography.

Shi Feier (in a very low voice): ...It's not all right!You and I are not real mother and son!

Jia Amnesty: I can't understand what you are saying, old lady!

Shi Feier: Oh, it's too windy.I'm praising you for being more and more capable.

Jia Amnesty: Is it true, old lady?

Shi Feier: Well, what I said and what you heard!Don't take it personally.

Jia She: ...
