Jia Zheng sat alone in the small study and dreamed of Pozhai, meditating alone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

His concubine Jia Huan recently had been in charge of the big housekeeper Lai Da, and he had just heard about it. The board is held high and gently lowered. It's all because there is an old lady who is checking and adjudicating. However, the little things in Jiafu are only a trivial tip compared to the entire court and the whole world.

Since the eleventh year of Yongzhi, Yan Fanlong, the former deputy capital of the left, was imprisoned, and a large number of black materials about the minister of the South Study, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the leader of the Donglin Party Li Gaotang were dug up, and the court was shaken, and the imperial history was written one after another.

It coincides with today's February Rites Department Examination, and the world is paying attention. Mr. Li's case was suspended for more than a month. However, after the general examination and the temple examination are over. The case continues to ferment, and the matter of dismissal is just around the corner. This morning, He-Nandao Daoist Yu Wenrui, who was good friends with his Jia family, sent someone to say to him: Please Brother Jia Shi must be optimistic about Ziyu, don't let him get involved in the recent court whirlpool, and have a son to contact the scholar, and prepare to go to Chengtianmen to ask for his life.

In the dream of Po Zhai, the display is elegant. Jia Huan came in from outside, saw Jia Zheng pondering, and saluted: "I've seen my father." I wonder what the father called his son for? ”

Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Huan, who came in, dressed in a Confucian shirt, wearing a square scarf, a standard scholar's attire, with a childish face, a calm temperament, and a heroic posture. I couldn't help but sigh. He, who is a father, envies his son's fame.

Jia Zheng said slowly: "Recently, I asked you to sign a letter in the same year?" ”

Although Jia Huan was teaching students of ethnicity during this time, the news was not closed. His teacher, Zhang Anbo, is now the imperial envoy of the imperial court. Pang Ze, Wei Yang, and Xu Yinglang came to sit down from time to time.

In addition, he also has contacts with Feng Ziying, Han Qi, Wei Ruolan, and Chen Yejun, and he is also very well-informed about the gossip in the noble circle. For example: Zheng Guifei's younger brother Uncle Zheng Guo had a good friend in the Teaching Workshop Division, and he called his wife and disfigured him; Emperor Yongzhi's confidant, Guanglu Temple Shaoqing Yuan Hao, was infatuated with the famous prostitute Cheng Qi'er.

Jia Huan heard about the recent wind direction in the court, and said: "In the same year, Tang County, Baoding Prefecture, and Jing Kui Xingzheng came to me a year ago to sign a letter requesting that the south study should not be abolished, but I did not agree. ”

Jia Zheng let out a surprised "huh". How did Jia Huan know these things? The political forces on Jiafu's side will not contact Jia Huan beyond him. Then it was all over again. He is a concubine who is a well-known scholar. In the same year, there were a bunch of teachers, room teachers, teachers, and classmates, and they had already woven a network of human feelings, and there was no need to rely on the power of Jiafu at all. Being in the capital, it is not surprising to know the movements of the court.

Jia Zhengdao: "It's good if you know it's powerful, go ahead." ”

Jia Huan is who, he can tell that Jia Zheng is reminding him. No matter what the reason is, Daddy Zheng always has good intentions. He arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your father's reminder." The father can ask his uncle as soon as possible to plan the right participation in politics and the secretary of the Honglu Temple. ”

Both of these positions are positions of the positive five products. If Scholar Li is going to fall this time, it will inevitably be a court turmoil. With Wang Ziteng's energy, it is not a big problem for Jia Zheng to operate an official position of positive five products. The key is that Jia Zheng himself has to mention it.

Jia Huan's thoughts about Jia Zheng are still very clear. The political father is dedicated to being an official, and he is good at the lintel of Jia's house. It's just that the level of being an official is too low, and he hasn't been promoted for many years. This time the chaos in the court is a good opportunity.

Jia Huan was able to name two positions so quickly because he had studied the route of how Jia Zheng was promoted. Of course, the most critical thing for Jia Zheng's promotion was the step when he returned to Beijing after the three-year term of the fifteenth year of the Red Mansion.

Jia Zheng was stunned, and was about to reprimand Jia Huan for "running for official positions" and engaging in crooked ways, but Jia Huan had already finished speaking, turned around and walked outside the study.

Jia Zheng pondered for a long time, and remembered the words of his protégé Li Ping: I heard that Brother Huanshi is a disciple of Zhang Baixian, and he is in Zunhua at this time, and he is really resourceful and talented.

Brother Shi is so talented, why didn't the teacher recruit him to his side to counsel the big things?

Looking at the sunshine and elegant courtyard outside the window, Jia Zheng let out a long sigh and called Chang Sui in, "Go to my uncle's mansion for the next post." ”

…

The meeting between Jia Huan and Jia Zheng was just a small episode. What happened in the court, Jia Huan will take a look at it now. If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles, and if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. He hadn't gotten to the point of being in the temple yet. As for the staff, with the arrival of Pang Ze, He staff, Master Zuo, Master Tian and others, it was also very easy.

Jia Huan returned to Wangyueju, had lunch with Baochai and Daiyu, laughed once, and sent away two beauties with different looks and temperaments at about three o'clock in the afternoon: Daiyu went to Wangyueju and Baochai stubbornly. She had spoken all her words in the morning, and she was going to go.

Jia Huan wrote a letter to his senior brothers Sun Liang, Luo Junzi, and Xu Yinglang in the study, and agreed to return to Wendao Academy to stay in two days.

After the exam, Senior Brother and Luo Junzi both failed the list, and another fellow Ji Ming of Wendao Academy also failed the list. Senior Brother and Luo Junzi are traveling in the capital these days. Meet the people who read all over the world. Because the Tianxia Sect is looking at the capital, the literary world is eye-catching. There are a lot of activities for readers.

On March 11, Jia Huan arranged the affairs of clan studies, took Liu Yichen and Zhang Sishui to greet his classmates and gentlemen, and left Jiafu in a carriage, preparing to meet his senior brother and Luo Junzi at Xuanwumen in the south of the inner city. The two of them lived in the mountain chief's home in Dashi Yongfang, talked about literature and Taoism, and lived a leisurely life.

And on the Jia Mansion side, Jia Huan's reason for going out also spread with the mouths of Qingwen, Ruyi, Tanchun, Baochai, and Daiyu: he took the notes of the Four Books and Five Classics revised by Shati Xue to Wendao Academy, ready to hand them over to Mr. Lin for revision, and then printed them as the teaching materials of Wendao Academy.

Jia Huan wasn't worried that things in Jiafu would slow down. Because, when he went out, he was originally to avoid suspicion. The second stage of the struggle against the Lai family will be initiated by Jia Yu.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Jia Huan, Senior Brother, Luo Junzi, and Xu Yinglang met at the door of a tea shop on Xuanwumenli Street. While he was talking and laughing, he saw about four or five hundred people of reading on West Chang'an Street shouting slogans and walking by with great momentum. There were many onlookers.

"The south study is an ancestral system, how can it be easily abolished?"

"The country has been raising soldiers for 150 years, and the festival of righteous death is today."

"Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned."

This is the famous sentence of Gu Xiancheng, the former leader of the Donglin Party. As soon as I heard it, I knew that these readers were all in the Donglin Party. Luo Junzi shook his head lightly, "The Donglin Party is working in vain. Some of them have a hot brain in the same year, but they are afraid that their future is worrying. ”

Senior Brother and Xu Yinglang both shook their heads. They discussed it in private. There are news channels for the imperial history of the left vice-capital, and it is clear that it is inevitable that the imperial court will abolish the southern study. The arms can't twist the thighs.

Jia Huan asked: "It is estimated that many of them are Xiucai and Guozi Supervisor students of Shoushan Academy. How many people are lifted? ”

Gongsun Liang said: "Senior Brother Jia, about 2,000 people participated in the examination of this department, and 220 people were admitted. How many people do you say? Recently, there have been a lot of literary meetings in the capital, and I estimate that Xing Zheng has at least 30 people in series. Tsk, I can't see it. ”

Jia Huan shook his head with a smile, "The sky is not enough to be afraid, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate." Let's go! ”

A group of four people slowly walked to Wendao Academy in two carriages. Behind him, is the wind and clouds of the capital.

…

In Jiafu, the night is deep. Jia Lian caught Wang Xifeng's sore feet fooling around outside, and under the pressure of Sister Feng and Ping'er, when he was busy apologizing, he sent someone to his father to call him away. For the first time, Jia Lian felt that it was also a kind of happiness to call his father to lecture him at night.

On Jiafu East Road, in the living room of Jia Yu's main house, Jia Yu was slowly drinking ginseng tea at the table of the Eight Immortals to refresh himself, and when he saw Jia Lian coming in, he said, "Sit down." ”

Jia Lian was a little flattered, it seemed that since Jia Huan rose and returned home, he was treated a lot higher in front of his father.

"What's the matter with the father coming to his son so late?"

Jia Yu glanced at Jia Lian dissatisfied, and reprimanded: "What have you become?" People in their twenties know how to drink and engage women all day long. Don't do anything serious. ”

Jia Lian was speechless for a while. Father, it seems that this is the most appropriate thing for you, right? His father was known for being greedy, violent, and lustful.

Jia Yu knocked on the table and said in an accentuated tone: "Brother Huan'er has left Jiafu, and I will be in charge of dealing with the Lai family next." ”

Jia Lian's face was confused, and it took a while to come back to his senses, "Father, do you still want to clean up the family?" Isn't it over? And the Lai family is the old lady's descendant. Lai Da has been the chief steward of the government for another decade or two. ”

Jia Yu had the foundation of the plan provided by Jia Huan, full of confidence, and said disdainfully: "How about that?" The Lai family's family is estimated to be no less than 50,000 taels of silver, and Brother Huan and I will split the account four or six times. I'm six and he's four. ”

Jia Lian's breathing suddenly became short. Six achievements are 30,000 taels of silver! "Father, can you do it?"

Jia Yu nodded confidently.

…

On March 14, Lai Dahe, who had reinstated his position as the chief housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, was planning how to deal with Qian Huai's father, Qian Cheng.

Lai Da had already paid six thousand taels of silver to the Jiafu Treasury. At the same time, Dai Liang, the steward in the warehouse, and three others were assigned to the Zhuangzi in Jinling to farm. The one who enjoyed this treatment in front was: Laiwang's family.

According to the gossip that was vaguely circulating, Huan Sanye said: This is called labor reform.

Qian Cheng was promoted by Lai Da and replaced Dai Liang's position. Lai Da's idea is: to promote Qian Cheng first, Anjiahuan's heart, and at the same time transfer him from his original post to facilitate investigation. Isn't your third master going to investigate corruption? Okay, your long-term father has committed something, can you check it?

I have to say that if Lai Da's plan is realized, Jia Huan is a bit of a wax.

After Lai arranged the matter, when he was about to deal with the affairs of Jiafu, Jia Yu's henchman Hong'er came over and said, "Lai Da Butler, the eldest lord invites you to come over." ”

Lai laughed and followed Hong'er to the outer study on Jiafu East Road.

That night, a news circulated in Jiafuzhong. The eldest lord Jia Yu was furious because of Lai's great greed - six thousand taels of silver in the public middle school of Jiafu: in the outer study, the dog scolded by Lai was bloody, and he scolded for an hour. Lai Da knelt and kowtowed, promising not to commit it again, so he barely passed.

It's weird. Because, the time of the third master of Huan Chalai was not completed in one or two days, but several days. How could the eldest lord not receive the news? But the eldest master didn't get mad until Mr. Lai took the money. No matter how you look at it, it feels a bit like the manager has pitted the third master of Huan.

You have paid all the money, dare to say that you are not greedy?

However, something even weirder is yet to come. The next morning, Jia Lian was furious in front of everyone in Jia's mansion at the steward's office.

The reason was that Jia Rong in Dongfu sent Jia Qiong to bring someone over to get a few big objects such as horn headlights, and called Lai Da a sentence "Grandpa Lai". Lai Da responded. This is a very common thing. When Jia Zhen was alive, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were not uncalled. But Jia Lian immediately became angry, slapped the table and scolded: "Grandpa Lai, whose grandfather are you?" When did the surnamed Lai become the grandfather of the children of the Jia family! ”

That's a lot of weight. The Lai family is a slave of the Jia family, and they all have the will of the master of the Jia family. Lai Da immediately stood up to defend himself. The details of the process have not been circulated, but Lai Da knelt down and kowtowed in front of Second Master Lian, which calmed Second Master Lian's anger.

The rumors spread like a virus on Rongning Street. All the servants of Jiafu and the children of the Jia family have read a signal from these rumors: Jia Yu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lian are not waiting to see Lai Da. As for Mr. Zheng, he has always been indifferent to foreign affairs.

In short, Lai Da lost the support of all the male masters of the Jia family. Even though there is an old lady sheltering the Lai family, isn't the business outside being handled by the masters? In this way, can he still sit firmly in the position of chief steward?

At the same time, another half-truth and half-truth circulated in Jiafu. The eldest lord Jia Yu didn't trust the big man and was greedy - he had defiled 6,000 taels of silver in the public school, and he was going to check the accounts and was looking for clues. The stewards and leaders below are ready to move.

However, what they didn't know was that Lin Zhixiao, who had always been good friends with Jia Lian, had gone to see Jia Yu in the middle of the night two days earlier.

The net has been opened. (To be continued.) )
