Chapter 499: Jiafu Family Banquet

Zhen Yingjia, the head of the Zhen family, was transferred out of Jinling in the eleventh year of Yongzhi, stepped down from the post of Jiangnan Weaving Langzhong of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and was "promoted" to the political envoy of Guang-Dongbu Political Division. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince then, the first family in Jiangnan has disappeared.

The Internal Affairs Office is equivalent to the Shaofu of the Qin and Han dynasties, and it is the private treasury of the Son of Heaven. Because the Zhen family took over, they lost two million taels of silver in Jiangnan Weaving, which was actually money owed to the Son of Heaven.

Because the eldest girl of the Zhen family is the crown princess. The old feudal monarch of the Zhen family had a close relationship with the emperor. The Son of Heaven still saved face for the Zhen family. At that time, in the context of tracing and clearing the debts, Zhen Yingjia was only transferred out and ordered to repay the loan in installments.

The son of Yongzhi is still worried about the income of the Zhen family from trafficking hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in illicit salt every year. It is sure to pay off the arrears. However, it has been two years now, and the money owed by the Zhen family to the Son of Heaven has not been repaid.

What does this mean?

How could Emperor Yongzhi not be angry?

"Check!"

The Son of Heaven dismissed Zhen Yingjia's official position, and the order to raid Zhen's family soon spread to the military aircraft, and then spread to the entire court and Jingshi.

Because the treasury supplied the army of the western expedition, it did not have the spare power to reward the soldiers who opened up the territory in the southwest. The Son of Heaven's internal money, but because the Zhen family is still short of 2 million taels of silver, after removing various expenses, there is not much left. The Son of Heaven has a high income and a lot of expenses.

Now, he is almost waiting to copy the Zhen family's property to make up for the hole.

On the morning of the next day, the Jinyi Weiti rode out of the capital with the holy decree and went south to Jinling. If you want to talk about copying the family, Jinyiwei is a good player. Many people seem to have seen the period of spy rule in the early years of the Ming Dynasty and the early years of the dynasty: Ti rode out in all directions!

The whole court was very quiet, and there was no objection to this. Not long ago, the upright gentlemen and speech officials who dared to speak out and uphold the Taoism, rules, and etiquette were swept away. Now, who will speak for the Zhen family?

The one who received the holy decree was Zhang Jingwei, the left capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate. He will be the person in charge of the house on the surface.

The Zhen family and the Jia family are world friends, although they have now been cut off, but the Zhen family was raided, which still attracted the attention and discussion of the Jia family.

On the evening of the 19th, Jia's mother held a banquet in the mansion to practice for Jia Zheng. Tomorrow, Daddy Zheng will set off for Fuzhou to serve as the deputy envoy of Fujian's Criminal Prosecution Department and the Grand Master of Learning. Abbreviated as the deputy envoy of the school. Positive four products.

Jia's mother went to the room, and there were five tables of wine in the flower hall. Rows of candles as thick as children's arms were lit, and long wooden shelves lit up the flower hall.

The furnishings in the seat are exceptionally expensive. It shows the charm of the wealth and elegance of the century-old family of Jiafu. Mother Jia also opened her favorite and precious pair of "Hui Wen" Yingluo, a total of 16 fans, which shows the joy in her heart.

Jia's mother sits in the east, sitting on a low-footed couch with an openwork dragon screen, and there is a very light lacquer painted gold table at one end of the couch. There are tea hangers, tea bowls, gargles, towels and the like on the table. There is another glasses case.

The luxury can be seen.

The above seat is Aunt Xue, who is a guest in the house. Mother Jia set up another seat in front of the couch, which was considered her position, and let Baoyu, Xiangyun, and Daiyu sit. Baochai is now the daughter-in-law of Jiafu and does not sit here.

Below is a table of Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang. Further down is the table of You Shi, Li Kun, Sister Feng, and Baochai. To the west is Jiafu Sanyan: a table of sisters who welcome spring, explore spring, and cherish spring. Under the porch outside, Jia Zheng, Jia Huan, Jia Lian, Jia Cong, Jia Lan, and Jia Yun have a table. Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Qiong, Jia Chen, Jia Lan, Jia Yi, Jia Ling, Jia Yan and Jia Yan are on a table.

After the banquet began, Jia Yu sat for a while before leaving.

Jia Mu also knew that he was here, and they were uncomfortable with each other, so they let him go. It is indeed difficult to forgive Jia on such occasions. His mother didn't like him, and he didn't like his brother. As a result, he can't afford to mess with his nephew. Anyone who sits on such an occasion and eats wine will be unhappy.

Mother Jia put on reading glasses, crooked on the short couch, asked the mandarin duck to help her beat her legs with a beauty fist, and instructed the maid to give a few dishes in front of her to Jia Zheng outside, and sighed: "There is such a scene in my family, it is the grace of heaven (Yuan Concubine)." I ordered Zheng'er to do school politics again. Speaking of which, the old lady of the Zhen family, I haven't seen you for many years. Alas..."

Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and other female relatives persuaded Jia's mother together. What happened outside, Jia Zheng was involved, and the house naturally heard about it.

Here, Baoyu only cared about talking to Daiyu, and was diligent, leaving Shi Xiangyun aside. It's just that Shi Xiangyun almost laughed when he looked at Daiyu who didn't care much about Baoyu.

Shi Xiangyun took the Shi family back to live for a period of time before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August some time ago, and brought Jia's mother to live in the past two days.

The reason was that the Shi family sent to pick it up that day, Xiangyun lived in Jia's mother's place, and went to the garden to bid farewell to Baoyu. Subsequently, Daiyu came to send. Then, Baochai arrived. Young sisters, the relationship is just right, and when they part, they are hard to give up.

Shi Xiangyun was in tears, just because his family was there, and he didn't dare to show too much grievance. Baochai knew in her heart: If her family would go and tell her aunt, she was afraid that she would be angry when Xiangyun went back, so she urged Xiangyun to leave quickly.

Everyone was sent outside the second gate, Shi Xiangyun stopped him, didn't want everyone to send it, and quietly said to Baoyu: "It's that the old lady can't remember me, and you often send someone to pick me up." This sentence is really sad for the listeners and tears for the hearers.

Baochai came back and talked about this topic to Jia Huan, lamenting what happened to Xiangyun, he couldn't be the master in the Shi family, and he had to do needlework for three watches (one o'clock in the morning). Abnormally bitter. Jia Huan didn't say anything immediately, and comforted his wife a few words. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he sent someone to Shi Fu and took Shi Xiangyun to live again in the name of Jia's mother.

With his current status in the four major families, the two empty marquis of the Shi family, dare not give face? The face of the third master of the ring is heavier than that of the historian who has one more "manual needlework".

Mother Jia just sighed at what happened to the Zhen family, wealth and impermanence, and smoke in the capital. I persuaded my daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to accept it, this topic could not be talked about in depth, and a few days ago, the family paid off the royal secret agent: Jin Yiwei. It's scary.

Jia Mu said: "It's still Brother Huan'er." Amber, send this sturgeon to Brother Huan'er. He loves to eat this. ”

Some time ago, Jia Zheng almost scolded public opinion to death. The whole Jia Mansion was anxious to get on fire, but the result was that Jia Huan was stable and warned everyone: No one is allowed to move. Finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon, and now Jia Zhengguan has been promoted to two levels.

At this time, Jia Zheng came in with Jia Huan by his side, and Jia Huan poured wine for Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng knelt on the ground and toasted Jia's mother. made Jia Huan very depressed, Daddy Zheng was kneeling, could he stand still? He doesn't like kneeling very much. As soon as Jia Zheng knelt, the room full of people stood up except for Jia's mother.

Jia Zheng was about to travel far away, when his emotions were agitated, his voice was a little choked, and he said, "My son toasted his mother." I wish my mother good health. The son traveled far away and did not serve in front of his mother, hoping that his mother would take care of her health. Don't think about trivial things, don't worry about it. There are big things outside, and there will be no problems with Brother Huan'er. ”

Jia Mu was also nervous with emotion, drank wine, and said, "I don't want you to have today's achievements." Your father, under the Nine Springs, will also be happy for you. ”

Don't look down on the deputy envoy of the four products. Jia Zheng's age has obviously not yet reached the line, and after serving as a noble school official, he will definitely go up. From the three products, it is the participation in the politics of a province, known as the big ginseng, out of the town of several mansions.

is the third product, that is the six squires. can be called a high-ranking official. In the life of officialdom, no one can say that this person's officialdom career is a failure. Quite glorious.

For a time, the mother was kind and the son was filial. The scene is touching.

Jia Huan was not interested in this, and looked at Daiyu diagonally opposite.

Daiyu pursed her lips gently, smiled, and quietly turned her head, in her beautiful eyes, sparkling, charming and gratuitous. In front of people. However, she was happy for Brother Huan in her heart. Fuzhong knows and recognizes that he is the "Dinghai God Needle" in the family.

This scene, Baoyu saw it clearly from the sidelines. When did Sister Lin smile at him like this? I just felt that my heart was broken, and I stood in place in a daze.

After the night banquet in Jiafu, they dispersed. The scene in the house was cleaned up by Wang Xifeng. Sister Wang Feng is actually doing "hard work".

The night is like ink. Shrouded in heaven and earth. Qingwen and Ying'er walked in front with the poke lamp. Jia Huan and Baochai walked side by side on the road. Xiangling and Ruyi walked beside them.

Xiangling was wearing a brown cloak, a delicate and beautiful girl, she was still a little dumbfounded, and asked, "Third master, why is the Son of Heaven still short of money to use?" "At the night banquet just now, I mentioned the reason why the Zhen family was copied.

The emperor wanted to reward the soldiers, but found that he had no money in his pocket. The reason is that the Zhen family owes money and does not pay it back, making a big hole.

Jia Huanwan smiled and said meaningfully: "The Son of Heaven will always be short of money. ”

This kind of political conspiracy is incomprehensible to several young girls. Baochai smiled slightly, she understood a little and knew the meaning of her husband's words.

Looking at Xiangling stunned, as if she understood or not, Jia Huan smiled happily. Don't go to the Son of Heaven to find out if there is money in the private treasury. If you give two million taels of gold and silver a year, the Son of Heaven can spend it, and if you give five million a year, he can spend it in the same way.

In fact, we should pay more attention to the money and grain in the treasury. The Zhou Dynasty didn't even have the economic strength to support the two-front battle at the same time! This is very worrying. In that year, Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty changed the law and ruled for ten years, leaving behind a strong country. The treasury is full. This supported the later Wanli Three Great Marches!

It can be inferred from this that the current situation of the treasury is only analogous to the situation in the middle and late Wanli period. The Ningzhou Dynasty was bathed in the afterglow of prosperity, peace and power. The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

The next day, August 20, Jia Zheng set off. Jia Huan led the children of Jiafu to the east of the city. Like the political father, take the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the south first. There are more than a dozen people accompanying him, including the concubine Aunt Zhao, the confidant Master Bai, the long-term follower Li Shi'er, and the doorman Zhan Guang and Hu Silai.

At the same time, the inner city of the capital, in the palace of King Wu. King Wu was discussing with his staff members in a small hall about hiring Jia Huan as the teacher of his son Ning Cheng.

The Son of Heaven commands, who dares to disobey? Emperor Yongzhi brought the aftermath of the great victory in the southwest, and his prestige among the court and the people increased greatly.

Autumn is crisp, dry and comfortable in the small hall.

King Wu was dressed in blue furniture and sighed: "The Son of Heaven recommended Jia Tanhua as the teacher of the prince, and Mr. Shi thought that in what way the king would invite him." ”

He understands what happened to Jia Huan, the causes and consequences. He has a good personal relationship with Master Zhichen of Tanzhe Temple. Master Zhichen and Jia Huan intersected. Don't look at the praise of the Son of Heaven: Xiao Jia is very good.

But in fact, he still distrusts Jia Huan in his heart. What can you do in the future as a teacher for the son? Probably, Jia Yi, a talented man of the Han Dynasty, was his template. Jia Shengcai is even more incoherent. Pity the middle of the night, the front seat doesn't ask the common people to ask the ghosts!
