Chapter 414: Seeing Wang Ziteng (II)
The four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue are known as the four major families of Jinling. There are two reasons for the www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun and Pavilion: First, the ancestral home of the four families is in Jinling.
Second, the ancestors of the four families: the two princes of Jiafu, the Shi family's Shang Shuling and Baoling Hou, the Wang family's Du Taiwei commanding the county uncle, and the Xue family's Ziwei Sheren, such a combination can go sideways in Jinling, the southern capital, but in the capital, it is not enough to see!
An analogy with the four major families during the Republic of China period can be understood. The four major families in the Republic of China: the Jiang family's world, the Chen family's party, and the Song family's sister Kong family's wealth.
Therefore, in the imperial capital, what status do you want to call the four major families? First, royalty; second, the descendants; third, party leaders; Fourth, the big consortium that married with the previous ones.
The four families of Jia Shi and Wang Xue obviously did not reach this height, so they could only be the four major families of Jinling.
Today, the banner figure of the four families of Jia Shi and Wang Xue is the prince Teng of the Wang family, whose official residence is controlled by the nine provinces of Yipin, and the part-time military aircraft Zhang Jing.
On the afternoon of the sixth day of the first lunar month, the leaders of the four families will eat New Year's wine at Wang's house. Jia Zheng, the right senator of the General Political Division, and Shi Nai, the Hou of Baoling, all came with their families. The Xue family is now left with the overlord Xue Pan on the faΓ§ade, and he accompanied Aunt Xue and Baochai to come together.
The Shi family arrived early. After getting the news of Jia Huan's arrival, Shi Sheng and Shi Zhi, who were eating wine and watching the play in a flower hall in the front yard of the palace, were "waiting" and waiting. It is said that Jia Yucun was demoted that day, and the prince slapped the table in the study after he returned.
Wang Chengsi, Wang Wei and several other descendants of the Wang family rushed to the side door to "follow" Jia Huan, wanting to embarrass him.
The carriages of the Jia family and the Xue family drove in from the side door of the palace. Jia Zheng, Jia Huan, Jia Baoyu, Jia Lian, and Xue Pan got off here. And Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, Aunt Xue, and Baochai of the inner family went straight to the Neiyi Gate on the middle road and entered the palace behind the palace. Mrs. He, the wife of their own prince Teng, entertained them.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon on the sixth day of the first lunar month, the golden red sunset hung obliquely in the air. On the corridor in the palace, guests come and go, and it is very lively. The housekeeper of the Wang family followed Jia Zheng and others.
This will be at the door of the guest Wang Zisheng, after he sent in a group of guests, just came out to pick up Jia Zheng and a few people. After a few words of greeting, Wang Zisheng looked Jia Huan up and down, and sneered: "You still have the face to come to our Wang family?" If it weren't for my second brother's orders, I'd have blown you away right now. β
Wang Zisheng was in his forties, wearing a gorgeous blue shirt, his appearance was ordinary, but he was very flamboyant, and he looked at Jia Huan coldly at this time.
Jia Huan's face was calm, and he glanced at Wang Zisheng lightly. Wang Zisheng is not very capable. After Wang Ziteng's death, there was a discord between the six relatives immediately. He was not interested in arguing with such a person.
"Haha." Xue Pan on the side shook his big head like a dwarf winter melon and laughed out loud. His heart was happy.
Jia Baoyu is wearing a big red gold python fox armpit arrow sleeve today, covered with a stone sable fur row spike gown, wearing a silver crown with bundled hair, jade-faced starry eyes, and elegant expression, at this time, the big round face smiled slightly and looked at Jia Huan mockingly. For the first time, he felt that it was a very pleasant thing to come out for the New Year.
Jia Zheng frowned slightly. Wang Zisheng didn't take him seriously. The Jia family's momentum at this time may not be worse than the Wang family, right? Master Bai, the staff member introduced to him by Jia Huan, quickly gained his trust. Master Bai once suggested that he help Jia Huan break out of the siege a few days ago, so as not to embarrass Jia Huan for his brother-in-law. But he hadn't figured out his words yet.
Wang Zisheng snorted coldly and said, "Please take it here." My second brother wants to see you. He pointed to a butler and took Jia Huan to Wang Ziteng's reception place.
His second brother had just sent someone to tell him: After Jia Huan arrived at the house, he would bring it over immediately.
β¦
β¦
After Jia Huan arrived at Wang's house, he was immediately arranged to follow the housekeeper of the Wang family to the depths of the courtyard to meet Wang Ziteng, and Wang Chengsi and others wanted to trouble him, so they could only give up.
No one thought that Wang Ziteng would order to see Jia Huan at the first time. Is this attention, or dissatisfaction?
β¦
β¦
Along the way, the eaves and columns are exquisite and luxurious, and the hustle and bustle of the New Year is gradually isolated in the courtyard and garden.
Jia Huan followed the housekeeper of the palace to Wang Ziteng's study. A few small servants outside the door waited quietly. After passing the word, he let Jia Huan in.
In the elegantly arranged study, Wang Ziteng was flipping through the books behind the bookcase, and the refreshing incense was burning. Wang Ziteng is in his fifties, dressed in brocade civilian clothes, slightly chubby, with a solemn bearing, and is not angry and arrogant.
This is the temperament that a high-ranking official should have after putting on an official shelf.
Seeing Jia Huan come in, Wang Ziteng casually threw the book on the bookcase, glanced at Jia Huan lightly, revealed his dissatisfaction, and said sarcastically: "People say that Jia Ziyu is okay with arguments, I really want to hear the reason for your arbitrary actions today." If you can't convince me, don't take the exam in February this year. β
As the commander of the nine provinces and the military aircraft Zhang Jing, who participated in military affairs, Jia Huan's uncle, he is qualified to say this.
Heavy pressure came over the face. Charcoal was burning in the study, and the temperature was very high, warm as spring, but the atmosphere was cold, cold as ice!
The characters in the four major families, except for Jia Zheng, probably no one can bear the anger of Wang Ziteng. The two empty marquis of the Shi family can't do it either.
Wang Ziteng said that Jia Huan's argument was fine, not nonsense. Jia Huan's ability to lobby is very strong. It is mainly reflected in the eleventh year of Yongzhi to save the mountain chief Zhang Anbo's running. He successively persuaded the township test masters Fang Wang, Wang Ziteng, and Wei Kang.
And Jia Huan was in the south of the Yangtze River, and he could say that he moved Huaiyang Governor Sha Sheng to raid Zheng Da Salt Merchants, and copied several Haoqiang who took the opportunity to acquire land and buy and sell people in the flood, and killed people's heads, and Sha Sheng was ridiculed by Huaiyang Jin as a blood-stained official hat.
Jia Huan also said that Mr. Longjiang would add Jia Yucun to the list of guilty people in the case of reselling Jinling grain, and knock him out in one fell swoop.
These things, after such a long time, Wang Ziteng is in the center of the imperial court, so he can naturally get news from the clues in the recitals written by officials from all over the country. Evaluating Jia Huan's sentence "There is no obstacle to arguing", there is no problem!
Jia Huan stood upright, as if he didn't feel the cold malice, bowed his hand, and said steadily: "The dirty relationship between me and Jia Yucun, my uncle must have heard of it. This person Yongzhi came to Beijing for seven years, and it was another when he was in Jinling. The matter was urgent, Jinling was too far away from the capital, and I didn't have time to ask my uncle for forgiveness. β
This is talking nonsense with your eyes open. Nonsense! When will it be Jia Huan's turn to call the shots and speak without permission?
Of course, Jia Huan also made the reason vaguely clear: he and Jia Yucun did not deal with each other, this was a personal grudge.
Wang Ziteng sneered and looked at Jia Huan coldly, how could he be satisfied with this answer? If Jia Huan can't come up with new tricks today, don't blame him for not giving face to the concubine.
Jia Huan would not think that he could convince Wang Ziteng with such words. When he said this, he just showed an attitude and gave a step that could be walked down by both sides. It wasn't really to plead guilty to the prince. Now, Wang Ziteng is reluctant to come down, and he has to push again.
From the perspective of political factions, Mr. Ye was worried that Wang Ziteng would suddenly kill him. But he was still somewhat sure.
Without him, because of his future and potential! His surname is Jia. If Wang Ziteng takes action to defeat the political star of the Jia family, what will Jia Yuanchun, the concubine in the palace, think? Jia and Wang are in-laws and political allies, but in the end they are still two families.
Jia Huan deduced from Wang Ziteng's few words: It is not enough for the prince to let go of the killer, but he really wants to suppress him for a year and sharpen his momentum. After all, he caused a lot of losses to Wang Ziteng. Face-to-face, politically arranged.
However, it was not the first month of the eleventh year of Yongzhi, and it was the first time for him to come to see Wang Ziteng! At that time, it was the 80-level tuba who bullied his 10-level trumpet. He beat (abused) Wang Ziteng in a cold sweat. But now, he has a lot of cards to play.
Jia Huan bowed and saluted, "Why does my uncle value Jia Yucun so much?" The current prefect of Jinling, Ji Xingsheng, is good friends with his father, and I thought I had met him, and he was an official, far beyond Jia Yu Village, can I fill the vacancy in Jia Yu Village? β
To put it bluntly, it is because Jia Yucun was born in two lists of Jinshi, and his resume is sufficient, so he can help Wang Ziteng "get a position" in the court at a critical time. This is a common routine of political groups. Who is in power and does not put his little brother in a key position?
If Jia Huan wants to change Wang Ziteng's opinion, he must first help him fill this hole. As for the face? What is that to a political animal? If he talks to you about face, it must be that the benefits he gives him are not enough, and you are not satisfying him.
The cold expression on Wang Ziteng's face changed slightly, and he sneered: "The Ji family has been a high-ranking official for several generations, how can it be used by my four major families?" "The Ji family has its own system.
Jia Huan took out two letters from his sleeve pocket, took two steps forward, put them on Wang Ziteng's desk, and said, "Before Uncle Lin died, he gave me three letters. One of them was for Ji Taishou. The remaining two letters are Tang Qi of Langzhong (Zheng Wupin) of the Criminal Department, and Cai Yi of the Hanlin Yuan (Zheng Liupin). If my uncle wants to, I can pass the word on my behalf. β
Lin Ruhai's dying letter obviously paved the way for Jia Huan. This is a political legacy. The prince can see through it with a little bit. And Wang Ziteng, as a high-ranking official from the first grade, is qualified to be a mountain leader in the court. Although, he is now attached to Scholar Xie.
Wang Ziteng glanced at the cover of the letter on the desk, and in his position, he naturally would not pick up the letter to check the authenticity. looked at Jia Huan with some surprise. Jia Huan, this is really Lin Ruhai's favorite! Even the political legacy was handed over to him.
Wang Ziteng picked up the exquisite white porcelain bowl, took a sip of soup slowly, and said: "I heard that you were in Jiafu, because of Lin Ruhai's daughter, you had a quarrel with the old lady, and you also took the opportunity to make trouble for Baoyu." It seems that there is? β
Jia Huan nodded calmly, he did pit the big face treasure. Ethnology package, he has already thought of it. Just waiting to teach the big face treasure: why are the flowers so red. said frankly: "If I am named on the gold list, I have my own world and pattern. The future of Jiafu is Bao Erge's. β
He and Wang Ziteng are not related by blood. Wang Ziteng chooses between Baoyu and him, this is no need to ask. And the distinction between the concubines and the concubines has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, don't look at the political father who relies on him a lot, and he is a bit obedient. But the family property and political heritage of the second room of the Jia family must all belong to Baoyu. You don't have to think about it.
Jia Huan is now showing his attitude: There are some things that you value very much, but I don't care. Give him the things of the big face treasure. I'm not interested. I want it, I will fight for it myself! Moreover, it will mix better than Jia Baoyu.
With this attitude, he estimated that he would have to say it to Jia Yuanchun on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Huan, his face eased slightly, his eyes signaled, and said, "Sit down." β
The Beijing officials have always been more valuable than the local officials. A fifth-grade criminal department Langzhong, and a sixth-grade Hanlin Academy attendant, are not as good as the Jinling prefect of the third grade, but it is enough to eliminate his dissatisfaction with Jia Huan. These two positions are still very promising.
Jia Huan arched his hand and said, "Uncle Xie." Wei Shangshu entered Beijing in March. If my uncle is interested, I can also say something in front of Wei Shangshu. β
He has this friendship with Wei Hong.
Wang Ziteng's face moved slightly, and he glanced at Jia Huan deeply, with a trace of surprise in his eyes. He served as a political envoy of one party. Positive second product. If he hadn't been on an errand in the military aircraft department, and only relied on the position of the commander of the nine provinces, how much weight would his words have in front of a civil official like Hubu Shangshu?
At this time, Wang Ziteng had a certain understanding of Jia Huan's deep connections in the civil and official system. I have to sigh in my heart: this is a civil official!
Civil officials naturally have a sense of closeness to civil officials. Especially the descendants like Jia Huan, who are destined to create a record of the imperial examination of the dynasty, coupled with the name of Jia Huan's famous poet in this dynasty, it is a plus in front of civil officials.
"There is no rush to meet with Wei Situ. Let's see the opportunity in the future! β
The prince waved his hand, pulled the bell, and asked the maid to come in and serve Jia Huan a cup of hot tea.
β¦
β¦
When Jia Huan met Wang Ziteng in the study, Shi Sheng, Shi Zhi, Wang Wei, Jia Lian, Xue Pan and other cousins ate tea, talked and played cards in the elegant courtyard in the front yard of the palace.
Seeing that the night outside the hall was getting thicker and thicker, the little servants came in and lit candles. Two rows of candles as thick as a child's arm lit the hall, illuminating the room.
However, the matter that everyone cares about has not yet come to fruition: Jia Huan is still in Wang Ziteng's study.
Wang Chengsi went outside to entertain guests, urged his cousins, and went to the courtyard of his father's study to find out the news. He didn't block Jia Huan, but he was angry. When I returned to the hall where I was entertaining, my face was full of depression.
Xue Pan said impatiently: "Big cousin, how is it?" β
Wang Chengsi sighed, looking a little lost, and a little puzzled, and said sullenly: "My father just asked the maid to serve tea to Jia Ziyu. β
In the exquisite and elegant hall, all the sons and daughters of the four major families were extremely surprised.
Jia Lian smiled and drank tea without moving: superficial! Immature! Ignorant!
Uncle Uncle's dissatisfaction, with the character of Brother Huan, has been for so long, how can he not have a countermeasure? People are not the same!
β¦

In the upper room of the inner house of the palace, Wang Ziteng's wife, Mrs. He, and the female relatives of the family entertained the visiting relatives of the Jia, Shi, and Xue families.
In the room, a festive red carpet is laid on the floor, and a three-legged gold enamel brazier is placed in the main hall. The brazier was burning with pine and cedar incense and lily grass.
On the front kang is covered with new scarlet felt, with a backrest and pillow, and a mink fur, and Mrs. He sits in the center. Below, on the twelve carved lacquer chairs, are all one-color gray squirrel chairs with small mattresses, and each chair has a large copper foot stove.
Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng, Baochai, Baoyu, Wang's daughter and others sat in turn. Baoyu sat outside for a while, and then called Mrs. He in.
Mrs. He looked at her second daughter Dongping and smiled at Mrs. Wang: "Baoyu is now as big as a day, has my sister ever been optimistic about whose daughter?" β
Baoyu's heart mentioned this. He only has Sister Lin in his heart. Although Sister Lin is no longer close to him. However, he will go and apologize to Sister Lin in the future.
Mrs. Wang smiled, "Hey, the old lady takes him with her every day." It feels like a child. It's still early. Dong Ping is allowed to do so? β
Mrs. He nodded and said reservedly: "There was a matchmaker who said goodbye to the Marquis of Baoning's mansion before. The lord is still thinking about it. β
Speaking of this, Mrs. He asked the maid Wei'er beside her, "It's all here, isn't it time to set the meal?" Why is there no movement outside, not to mention that we invite our relatives to eat and drink, but we are hungry for our relatives. And all the people laughed at this.
Wei'er went out with the two maids.
Wang Xifeng was wearing a coral red jacket, with a slender and plump figure, bright eyes, and a coquettish smile. She is also concerned about the outcome of the meeting. This is a question related to how she will get along with Jia Huan in the future.
Sister Wang Feng can be regarded as a "smart person" in the final analysis, she has a lot of ideas, and she hasn't slept well in the past two days. The so-called: the agency is too smart, and that is her state.
Aunt Xue looked at her daughter who was sitting quietly and sighed melancholy. The marriage between Jia Huan and Baochai is the coal made by the concubine in the palace, and it is handled by her sister-in-law. The relatives are all ordered, and if you regret it, it will ruin your daughter's reputation.
After laughing for a while, Wei'er came back from outside and whispered back in front of Mrs. He: "Madam, the master had a good conversation with the third master in the study. β
Talking very happily, these four words made the smile ripple in the upper room suddenly seemed to press the pause button. Freeze frame.
A group of "battle-hardened" ladies suddenly didn't know what expressions to use at this time. How so?
Jia Baoyu opened her mouth in astonishment, and subconsciously went to see Baochai. I just saw a very shallow smile passing the corners of Baochai's mouth.
Baochai was dressed in plain white clothes, dignified as a lady, sitting on a chair, her delicate and beautiful face in the candlelight, bright and unprovoked.
The Ring Brothers are the Ring Brothers!
β¦
β¦
The moon stars are scarce. The wind is cold.
The carriage of the Jia family went west out of Qiuye Hutong in turn and returned to the Four Seasons Square. Jia Huan's carriage fell behind the tail.
He was still thinking about discussing with Wang Ziteng the contradictions and the reasons for the discrepancy between Scholar Xie and Scholar He. He Dashi wanted to restore the civil politics of the Ming Dynasty.
Jia Huan encouraged the idea, but never agreed. With the personality of today's son, you talk to him: the world is the world of scholars, and the holy son of heaven rules with the arch, which is no different from looking for a draw!
Just thinking about it, Qian Huai's voice came from outside, "Third master, go to the mansion, the master asked you to go to Mengpo Zhai to see him." β
Mengpo Zhai is Jia Zheng's small study, well, a place for taking a nap, Jia Huan met Jia Zheng in the study.
Jia Zheng was very curious about how Jia Huan passed Wang Ziteng's level.
After Jia Huan said it again, he said: "My son has been studying recently, and he feels quite restless, and he wants to ask his wife to reward a maid to serve me in reading." β
Mrs. Wang's thoughts, the bad in his heart, can he not know? However, he has now passed the prince level. It's time to point interest!
