After Jia Huan left, Zhen Li also had no intention of drinking and beautic, and returned to his home in Zhongcheng District to meet his father Zhen Yingjia.

When he first returned home, the subordinate also replied that Zheng Yuanjian was waiting at home. Zhen Li was speechless, Zheng Da Salt Merchant was still dreaming!

At night, Zhen Yingjia was already in the inner house, listened to the maid's return, and met his son in the inner study.

Zhen Yingjia was in his fifties, wearing a dark cotton shirt, and asked with a hint of tiredness, "How is the situation?" ”

Zhen Li explained the situation again, and said dissatisfiedly: "Zheng Yuanjian is too arrogant, he hasn't even figured out the situation!" If I hadn't gone to talk to Jia Ziyu today, maybe his Zheng family would have given people a nest, and he wouldn't have known about it. ”

Zhen Yingjia sighed, drank the tea slowly, for a while, and said, "I'll talk to him tomorrow!" He also said: "Jia Huan..., you have more contacts with him, and make good friends." ”

Zhen Li nodded.

The Zhen family is second to none in Jiangnan, but it is not without its worries. Moreover, within the system of the national dynasty, there are obstacles and checks and balances everywhere.

When Jia Huan came to Jinling at the end of August, he and his father lamented that Jia Huan was too young to be authorized by the Jia family. Can't help enough. is very distant from Jia Huan. But now it seems that Jia Huan has the trust of the governor of Huaiyang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, plus his literary name, I am afraid that the power of Jiafu in Jinling is greater, and he really has to make friends with the Zhen family.

If Jia Huan knew the thoughts of the Zhen family's father and son, he was afraid that he would cry without tears. He really wanted to stay away from the Zhen family's landmines.

After meeting Zhen Li on the evening of the ninth day of November, Jia Huan's life returned to peace. Temporary calm. Because Zhen Li will invite him to a drinking party on the winter solstice when he turns around.

Daiyu is still recuperating. Sickness comes like a mountain. Sickness is like a thread. Jia Huan occasionally chatted with Aunt Pei, involving scriptures, poems, and customs in various places. It can be seen that she is indeed a woman who is beautiful and wise. Daiyu has such an aunt by her side, which is indeed a valuable asset in her life.

In the afternoon of this day, the snow was falling, Jia Huan was studying at home, and in his spare time, he wrote a letter to Lin Zhiyun in the capital. 【】

He "offended" the Zheng family and made enemies with the merchants of Jindi. Instead, you can consider joining forces with Lin Zhiyun to suppress Jin merchant Lu Chengji. He knew very well that Lin Zhiyun, the girl, had always had an opinion in her heart about Lu Chengji, who bought the Lin family's property at a low price at a critical time.

"Miss Lin can prepare first, and then I will carry it out when I return to Beijing in two years. I support the girl in redeeming her original property. But the future of the Lin family can be developed in the blue snow cream. I hope to know and think carefully. ”

Blowing dry the ink and closing the letterhead, Jia Huan's mind floated up again with her royal sister's face that made his heart tremble. Shaking his head and sighing. Write on the bamboo paper again: If life is the first time you see it, what is the autumn wind sad painting fan, this sentence.

Zijuan popped up at the door, and the teenage girl, wearing a new crimson fang-pinching vest, said with a smile: "Third master, are you finished with your books?" Didn't you say last time that you would paint a girl an ugly little makeup? lest we girls go out and be watched. Give the snow geese a try today. ”

Jia Huan smiled, "Then you have to ask for the consent of the little girl first." Okay, I'll check it out later. ”

Jia Huan talked to Zijuan for a while, took the letter outside and handed it to Qian Huai, and asked him to send it to the post station to be delivered.

The postal system in ancient times was truly terrible. I couldn't get to the capital in two or three months. And it's November 11th!

When it snowed in Jiangnan, there had just been a light snow in the capital, and it was in the cold after the snowmelt. In the palace, plum blossoms are in full bloom, and at the foot of the palace wall, by the pond, there are flakes of residual snow.

The eunuchs and palace maids who came and went walked briskly in the palace, hurrying. The Son of Heaven returned to the palace from the Daming Palace outside the city, and it seemed that something big was about to happen.

The military aircraft department and other accompanying yamen returned to the imperial city. The clerks of the Sixth Department also returned. The ministers of the six ministries, the five temples, the three prisons, and the three courts paid attention.

Not long ago, the Son of Heaven appointed the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and the governor of Huaiyang, and at the same time deposed the impeachment and impeachment of the officials who reformed the salt law. Large-scale spending. In addition, the court is checking the arrears of the past years, and people's hearts will inevitably fluctuate. Some people are worried about being disgraced, and the brocade guards of this dynasty are quite effective. Some people are thinking about getting promoted. Sha Sheng, the governor of Huaiyang, promised to recover 500,000 silver arrears and be promoted immediately to the salt class. Who doesn't blush?

However, these things have little to do with Jia Zheng, the right senator of the General Political Department. His capable concubine told him a long time before he left Beijing: Be an official with peace of mind, and have your own plans in the future.

After Jia Zheng dispersed in the morning, he gathered at home with his brothers, children and nephews to eat, drink, and watch plays. The children of the Jia family in Ningrong and the two mansions gathered: Jia Yu, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Baoyu, Jia Cong, Jia Lan and others were all there. The troupe is noisy with gongs and drums.

Today is Jia Zheng's birthday. In the winter of the 11th year of Yongzhi, November 16.

In the flower hall, several tables of banquets were set up. Servants and retinues waited aside. There are also Jia Yun and other children of the Jia family who can be used. On the stage in front of the flower hall, the troupe performed "The Legend of Jingzhong".

Jia Rong toasted Jia Zheng with a smile, said a few auspicious words, and said: "Uncle Huan and Second Uncle Lian are not here this year, otherwise it will be more lively today." ”

Jia Zheng shook his head with a smile and said casually: "Just a family gathering." ”

Jia Yu, who was sitting next to Jia Zheng, smiled and nodded at Jia Rong, "Brother Rong, you have made a lot of money in your coal business!" ”

Jia Rong smiled.

Jia Yu smiled and said nothing, drank a glass of wine with Jia Zheng, and said, "Calculate the time, Lian'er should also come back." ”

Jia Zheng didn't know what Jia Yu was thinking, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he nodded.

Baoyu on the side pricked up his ears, he was worried about Sister Lin's situation. Even though Sister Lin is going to live in Jinling for two years, he still thinks about it in his heart.

When the family was happy, the porter ran in quickly, "Master Xia, the eunuch of the six palaces, has come to give an edict." ”

Master Xia is Xia Shouzhong. Of the five most powerful eunuchs of the dynasty, he is counted as one.

Jia Yu and Jia Zheng looked at each other. Although the Jia family is noble, I don't know how long it has been since they have received the will from the palace outside the festival. And it was a figure like Eunuch Xia who came to issue an edict.

The two hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the banquet and the troupe, the incense case, and the opening of the middle door to receive the order.

On Jia Zheng's birthday, Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, Li Kun, You Shi, Qin Keqing, Aunt Xue, Baochai, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun were all celebrated in the inner house. Suddenly, news came from outside that Master Zheng had been rumored to the palace.

The people in Jiafu were panicked. And two hours later, the exact news came out: Jia Yuanchun Jin sealed the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace, and added the title of Concubine Xiande!

Up and down Jiafu, laughter was boiling, and the next day, the sound of congratulations could be seen everywhere in Jiafu.

When Jia's mother went to the room, Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang, who entered the palace yesterday to visit, all had tired faces on their faces, but they gathered together. Wang Xifeng, Li Kun, Aunt Xue and others all came to congratulate and laugh.

"It's not that I haven't seen the eldest girl in our family, it's really one in a thousand, and there is no choice in a thousand. Neither appearance nor temperament said..."Wang Xifeng is wearing a coral-red silver mouse jacket, wearing a phoenix hairpin, bright phoenix eyes, and picturesque willow eyebrows, standing in the hall, and taking out good words as if he doesn't want money, touting Jia Yuanchun vigorously.

Jia Mu couldn't close her mouth with a smile. What does a concubine mean to a noble like the Jia family? Power! Status! Glory!

With Mrs. Wang's temperament, she was also full of smiles, rubbing the head and face of Baoyu in her arms.

Seeing what Wang Xifeng said, Aunt Xue joked: "Although I haven't seen the eldest girl, I can see the clues from the second, third, and fourth girls. Besides, I heard that Baoyu's characters were all taught by the eldest girl. Character and talent can be seen in general. ”

Several decent housekeepers flattered: "What Aunt said is true. ”

Mrs. Wang smiled, turned her head to her sister and said, "I also want to congratulate my aunt!" ”

Before Aunt Xue could react, Wang Xifeng's eyes rolled, clapped his hands and smiled: "I really want to congratulate my aunt, there is a great happy event." ”

Xue Baochai, who was sitting next to Tanchun, suddenly turned crimson, lowered his head and looked at the corners of his clothes, embarrassed. is talking about her marriage to Brother Huan.

Aunt Xue also reacted at this time, slightly stunned. She knows her daughter's marriage. But he didn't expect that the matchmaker chosen by Jia Fuli would be Yuan Chun. And looking at the posture, I'm afraid that Jia Huan said it earlier.

The imperial concubine is a matchmaker, which is very decent for the Xue family!

Jia Yuanchun's choice of Fengzao Palace is also a big deal in terms of the palace, the queen of the Son of Heaven. The rank of the harem of the Son of Heaven is that the queen, the imperial concubine, the noble concubine, the concubine, the concubine, the noble, etc., descend in order. According to the system, there must be one queen, one imperial concubine, two concubines, four concubines, and six concubines. There is no limit to the number of noble people and below.

The empress of the Yongzhi Emperor died long ago, and the lord of the harem was vacant for many years. The imperial concubine is vacant. There are only two concubines: Zhou Guifei, the mother of King Yan, and Wu Guifei, who was only crowned in July this year. Jia Yuanchun's virtuous concubine, if you count, ranks sixth in the harem.

Her status is evident.

Not to mention that Jia Yuanchun still has his uncle Wang Ziteng, his father Jia Zheng, and his eldest uncle Jia Yu outside the palace, plus the old Jia family, this foreign relative force has already taken some rudimentary shape. The courtiers could not afford not to pay attention.

The noble families who were good friends with Jiafu soon sent people to send congratulatory gifts. For more than 150 years, there are more than 60 nobles with titles. The descendants of the Jia family, who were crowned two princes at the time of the founding of the country, were not angry, and they could only be regarded as medium-sized. After Yuanchun became a concubine, the Jia family rose to a quasi-first-line wealthy family.

Friends and family also came to celebrate.

Jia Lian got the news on the canal. On the canal, the news on both sides of the river is very fast. Jia Lian learned the news in Jining Mansion. Without Daiyu's drag, he has a huge amount of money in his hands, and he will inevitably travel to the mountains and rivers, look for flowers and willows along the way. When he returned to the capital, Sister Feng was in charge of him. And when he got the news, he immediately took the little maid to speed up the trip and rushed home.

The news was transmitted to Jinling through the Di newspaper. Jia Huan actually knew before Jia Lian.

On the winter solstice of November 25, Jia Huan turned down Zhen Li's banquet and went out in the morning to visit the mountain chief and Grandmaster Fang.

In the afternoon, the sun is shining, and it is rare to have a sunny day. Jia Huan took the two big girls Qingwen and Ruyi to accompany Daiyu, Aunt Pei, Zijuan, and Raiders to relax by the Mochou Lake, the first scenic spot in Jinling City. (To be continued.)
