The Red Mansions

Chapter 127

Chapter 127

"Sister-in-law Feng, don't be in a hurry about the money. After a few days, I'll think of a way out." Jia Heng said.

He didn't have any good business opportunities for a while, but there was one thing he could do, which was to rectify the Jia family as the patriarch, especially the Lai family.

Brothers Lai Da and Lai Er, how much furniture have they accumulated over the years as housekeepers in the two mansions?

It is almost conceivable that at that time, the Lai family fell and the Jia family was full!

And if you want to rectify the Lai family, you can't do without Jia Mu. If you want to persuade Jia Mu, who else is more suitable than Sister Feng?

At this time, Sister Feng Liu Shao raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Jia Heng said coldly: "After a few days, you will know, you should stop the usury first, the money borrowed by others, the normal interest rate is, otherwise, at the meeting of the ancestral hall, old and young, Sister-in-law Feng is waiting to stamp spine."

The so-called secrets will cause harm. For the Lai family, if they don't move, they will be dead, and if they move, they will be uprooted.

Sister Feng glanced at Jia Heng suspiciously, as if shocked by the "violence" on the young man's face, her heart moved slightly, Dan Feng's eyes flickered, and she said: "I will wait for you for half a month at most, Xifu side, if you move or leave No silver."

"I'm telling you, stop usury." Jia Heng suddenly stood up, looked down at Sister Feng, and said word by word: "It's not half a month."

This is a kind of psychological oppression.

Sister Feng Yurong was slightly concentrating, her heart was shocked, and she wanted to reply subconsciously, but when she met the young man's eyes that could not be rejected, her tone was a little weaker when the words came to her lips, and she said coldly: "Stop, stop, If you ride a horse and yell, the horse will still take two steps forward."

Jia Heng took a deep look at Sister Feng, and said calmly: "You are not a horse."

Sister Feng raised Liu Yemei's eyebrows, Danfeng's eyes flashed, and Guazi's face showed confusion, and she said angrily, "Who are you scolding?"

"I didn't say you were a horse." Jia Heng picked up the tea, took a sip, waved his hands, and said, "Okay, let's go back quickly."

Sister Feng snorted softly, and walked outside, just after stepping over the threshold and entering the flower hall, her snow-clear jade face was stunned, she reacted suddenly, and pursed her pink lips.

No, Jia Heng took advantage of her!

Of course she is not a horse, but there is no reason for him to ride it.

Alright, I really know people, know faces, but don't know my heart, and I will kill you sooner or later...

Well, it doesn't seem right, Jia Heng didn't seem to be teasing her on purpose just now, it was more like saying casually to what she said.

Could it be that she... is overthinking?

This Jia Heng seemed to have a cold personality, and his eyes were very "clear" just now.

At this time, looking up at Qin Keqing opposite, she laughed at herself, "Where would such a fairy girl be in the room?"

Jia Heng raised his eyes and watched the "Rouge Horse" leave, put down the teacup in his hand, his face showed thought.

I also have a more three-dimensional understanding of Sister Feng, a woman in the original "Dream of Red Mansions".

"Although the temperament is a bit more aggressive, but the nature is not so bad that it can't be cured." Jia Heng thought.

If it was Xia Jingui, he would just slap him to death.

Sister Feng's side came to the flower hall. Qin Keqing, who was talking with Heping'er, got up and said with a smile: "Sister, did you tell my husband? Is it going well?"

Sister Feng smiled, pinched the corner of the handkerchief, and said with a smile: "I've said it all, and it went smoothly. Okay, let's not talk about this, and I will come to see you tomorrow, but sister Qing, I feel that you are a little bit tired when I look at you." close."

Qin Keqing smiled: "Sister, sister, I am too."

The two sisters were talking and laughing, but Sister Feng got up and left on the pretext that it was getting late.

……

……

In the Daming Palace, the palace lanterns were still on, and behind the case, the emperor in crown clothes held a map in his hand, which was a map of the surrounding terrain of Cuihua Mountain and the confessions made by the bandits.

The difference is that the map is clearer and the statement is more detailed.

Emperor Chongping put down the map in his hand, looked at Xia Houying who was standing there not far away, and said, "This Jia Ziyu... is really unexpected."

Emperor Chongping said with emotion, suppressing the shock in his heart.

This Jia Ziyu really deserved to be a talent for managing affairs, and he could infer the hiding place of the Cuihua bandits just from some clues.

See the micro-knowledge, show your sharpness.

I thought that this son is good at rough ideas, and his practical talents may need some experience. I don't want to be listening to thunder in the silent place. Is there really someone who is born with this strategizing mind?

In fact, there are quite a few such people, who speak well and generally, but are helpless when it comes to specific common affairs.

Of course, in Emperor Chongping's heart, he would not classify Jia Heng as "Zhao Kuo, Ma Di", but felt that the young man still needed to practice a little bit, and he didn't want to be surprised in a blink of an eye.

Xia Houying said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, that little officer named Cai Quan in the Jingying camp has been sent by Niu Dudu of the Yiyong camp to take [-] soldiers under his command to Cuihua Mountain to suppress the bandits tomorrow."

"Niu Jizong can't lead troops, but he is proficient in such things as stumbling and black feet." Emperor Chongping snorted coldly and said coldly.

Xia Houying said softly: "Your Majesty, Jia Heng is Cai Quan's friend, and he has promised Cai Quan that he will go to Cuihua Mountain to suppress the bandits. If there is no accident, he will leave tomorrow."

Emperor Chongping heard the words, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Dai Quan, you pick some skilled people from the Zhenfu Division to protect Jia Ziyu. If he makes a mistake, you are the only one to ask."

Such a handsome young man must not be discounted.

Dai Quan's face became serious when he heard the words, and his heart became more serious. He had a little more opinion of Jia Heng's family, and he cupped his hands and said, "I will obey your majesty's order."

Dai Quan hesitated for a moment, then said suddenly: "The servant has also received a tip about Jia Heng."

Emperor Chongping frowned, and asked: "You slave, since you have the news about Ziyu, why don't you come to the morning newspaper?"

"The slave just got it from a secret spy." Dai Quan laughed along, took out a note from his armband, and said, "Your Majesty, after Jia Heng entered the Ningguo Mansion, in front of the men from the Jia clan, It is said that two schools of Chongwen and Wushu will be built in the mansion for the children to study, and now it has spread in Beijing, and everyone is saying that Jia Heng has lived up to His Majesty's praise of virtue and virtue, and has lived up to everyone's expectations."

Emperor Chongping took the letter, stared at the description on it, read it, and said with a smile: "I didn't misunderstand him. Chongwen and martial arts, isn't this what I want?"

Dai Quan was shocked when he heard this.

Emperor Chongping pondered for a while, holding the letterhead, thinking about something in his heart, for a long time, he said: "Tomorrow morning, you go to pass on my oral instructions. , Jiaheng was given the title of Commander of Jinyiwei, and enjoyed a fourth-rank salary, and was given a flying fish waist card, which can be handed over to the palace to have an audience."

The Chen-Han official system, up to now, because of financial constraints, the civil and military ranks have long been abolished. The rank of Wu Lord is a system, and the civil service is a system.

Therefore, it often happens that civil servants do not receive specific positions, which leads to the confusion of official titles and dispatches.

And Emperor Chongping's decree is obviously that Jia Jiaheng will be the commander of the capital, and he will not receive a real job, but only enjoy the fourth-rank salary.

Because it is the duty of Jin Yiwei, it belongs to the emperor's family affairs, but the Sacred Heart is dictatorial, and there is no need to even draft an edict, just follow the middle edict.

For example, Xia Houying is the commander of Jinyiwei, but in fact she doesn't go to Jinyiwei to answer the duty, but just takes a salary, and usually protects the eldest princess of Jinyang.

Emperor Chongping's move was to make it easier for Jia Heng to enter the palace at any time, and it was also to compensate for the "resignation table".

Of course, it follows the central purpose, even if the text reaches the cabinet, the cabinet will not draft the order, even if the draft order is written, the six subjects will be blocked and rejected.

However, following the central purpose, the upper and lower officials only thought it was a kindness of salary.

Because of the resignation, Jia Heng's virtuous name was known all over the world, and the emperor wanted to pay respects to him, so no one would say anything blankly.

"Jia Heng said earlier that he wanted to take the imperial examination. Does this affect his career?" Xia Houying hesitated for a moment, then asked.

Emperor Chongping smiled slightly, and said: "This is really a false title to send a salary, and it does not affect his way of taking the imperial examination. Besides, even if it is a real title, if he wants the imperial examination, I remember that the imperial examination only prohibits the children of outstanding officials from applying for the examination, right? In addition, when he returns from suppressing the bandits, I will reward him with another reward!"

The restrictions on the qualifications for the Kebao examination have been slightly different throughout the dynasties, but there is a category of people who are absolutely not allowed to apply for the examination-the sons of officials who advocate excellence.

Jia Heng wanted to take the road of imperial examinations. In fact, Emperor Chongping felt that it was not necessary. The imperial examinations were only a means of becoming an official.

"Now that he is going to suppress the bandits, if he doesn't reward him with famous weapons, he will probably be constrained by the gang of arrogant soldiers in the Beijing camp." Emperor Chongping's eyes flashed, thinking.

The bandits in the Sanfu area of ​​the capital have been raging for more than a day, and the capital campers shouted, he would like to see what Niu Jizong and others have to say when Jia Heng returns with a weak brigade to suppress the bandits!

Dai Quan who was on the side listened to Emperor Chongping's words, and his tongue was silent. His Majesty really showed Jia Heng's kindness to the extreme.
