Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　The third sister stepped forward and hugged Jia Zhen, "You don't need to tell me, my wife has already rewarded me. Would you like to take a look?"

　　Jia Zhen took a few steps excitedly, stopped again, and asked, "Where's Brother Rong?"

　　The third sister smiled and said, "I'm with his daughter-in-law! When I came, he was holding the child and talking."

　　Jia Zhen struggled for a while, then stepped back and sat on the chair, the indescribable sadness almost beyond words.

　　The third sister and Qingwen looked at each other, "Master, what's the matter with you?"

　　Jia Zhen seemed to have just woken up from her memory, and said quickly, "I'm thinking of a name!"

　　Qingwen covered her mouth with a smile and said, "How about we still ask your grandfather to play nice?"

　　"Yeah!" The third sister also echoed: "Before, Bing'er and Qing'er were both girls, that's all. Now it's your eldest son and grandson. If it's bad, wouldn't it be a loss of Ning Guofu's face?"

　　Qingwen even added fire: "If we don't take it well, we should admit it, or it's serious to report to the grandfather quickly!"

　　Jia Zhen snorted, turned around and pulled out a book from the bookshelf, took out a small note, read it carefully, and handed it to Qingwen, "Give this to Brother Rong, our grandson will call That's the name!"

　　Qingwen took it and looked at it again and again: "What kind of character is this? One wooden character is next to it, and the other is a Chinese character?"

　　Jia Zhen explained: "This word is read, which means Mu Furong. You go! I have something to tell San'er!"

　　Qingwen glanced between Jia Zhen and the third sister, and spat: "I know what you want to do, do you want me to explain that I'm guarding the door outside?"

　　"What are you talking about!" Jia Zhen put her arms around the third sister seriously, "We have business matters to discuss!"

　　"Bah!" Qingwen clutched the note and walked out without turning her head. "Business matters should be discussed with Sister Yindie and Sister Keren, and what can be negotiated with You Laosan?"

　　The third sister was still angry, so she chased her out. The two were fighting outside the study, and the crisp laughter continued outside.

　　Jia Zhen couldn't help sighing, what's this called?

　　At this time, in the Magnolia Hall of Huifang Garden, Yindie Sect Zhuan'er and Hui'er put away the bottles and jars on the table, holding their heads in a daze.

　　Zui'er picked up the two bottles, sniffed and sniffed, and said suspiciously, "Auntie, this bottle has a stronger smell than that bottle, so why is the price marked lower?"

　　Hui'er on the side said with a smile: "What can you understand? The strong flavors spread out quickly, while the lighter ones last longer. Which one do you think is more expensive?"

　　The two chattered non-stop, but Yindie still didn't care and muttered a few words softly.

　　So Chuan'er asked, "Auntie, what did you say?"

　　Yindie was startled and frowned, "Damn girl, why are you talking so loudly?"

　　Hui'er pursed her lips and smiled, and hurriedly brought a bowl of sugar porridge, "This is from Liu'er. She said that Qin Yiniang was afraid of your poor appetite, so she specifically explained that she would wait for you to finish eating."

　　Yindie just took it, and ate it in small bites.Hui'er was still talking: "Aunt Qin knows that you don't like to eat rouge rice, so you only cook it with ordinary glutinous rice."

　　Yindie smiled and said: "I know, you are more talkative."

　　Zui'er put away the bottle, "Qin Auntie and our Auntie have always been the best. They are also in charge of their own affairs, and they don't have any leisure time. They can't compare to other Auntie..."

　　"Okay!" Yindie thought she was talking too much, "Go and serve me another bowl of porridge!"

　　Chuan'er went to fill up a small bowl again, "Auntie, do you have a better appetite today?"

　　Yindie sighed: "This is the heart of Sister Keren. Wouldn't it be a pity to waste it? Besides, with you nagging, I'm lazy to talk to you, so I have to eat porridge."

　　Zui'er made a face, sat on the brocade stool, and put his hand on the table, "Master hasn't come here in a few days, and my aunt doesn't want him?"

　　Yindie suddenly took a mouthful of porridge and spat: "You little hoof, no one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak!"

　　Zui'er said to Yindie aggrievedly: "Auntie, I'm thinking of you. Now that the master has married a few new aunties, he has limited energy, so naturally he doesn't have that much effort. When will you be able to get pregnant?"

　　Hui'er hurriedly pulled the pendant, "Don't talk nonsense, it's your turn to talk about the matter of the master?"

　　Yindie wiped the handkerchief from the corners of his mouth, "You guys are thinking too much. How is the master, I don't know better than you? He looks a little lecherous, and he doesn't even have any resistance to beauty, but when did he force it? Is it hard? I used to worry that he would forget the old one when he met the new one, but after a long time I knew that he really cared about each of us and tried his best to keep a bowl of water level. Why should I fight? Is he in trouble?"

　　"That's the reason!" Ke Ren just came in from the outside world and smiled: "It's rare that my sister can see clearly, and it saves me some words."

　　Yindie hurriedly asked Keren to sit nearby, "Why is my sister free to come to me today?"

　　Ke Ren and her intimately held hands and said, "I just went to inspect and came back. The hands and feet of the shopkeepers in the Feng family's several stores are a little dirty. I asked the Feng family to deal with it themselves, but they turned a deaf ear and couldn't say anything. I want to tell the master to adjust their share this year. This is all gossip, so let's not talk about it. In fact, I am here to supervise your eating porridge? Even if you are busy, you should pay attention to your body. If you are exhausted, master It hurts again."

　　Yindie's face flushed, "Sister made fun of me, don't you? You are so smart and capable, I'm afraid the master will not be able to leave you for a day!"

　　Ke Ren lowered his head and smiled, "Let's stop touting each other. Let the girls laugh!"

　　The maids brought by Chuan'er and Hui'er Keren on one side knew that the two concubines had something to say, so they all withdrew.

　　Yindie asked, "Sister came from outside, but I heard that Rong's daughter-in-law was born?"

　　Ke Ren smiled and said, "I gave birth to a boy, and the master gave him the name Jia Yu, and Brother Rong is busy writing it in the ancestral hall!"

　　Yindie folded her hands together, "Amitabha, this is the eldest grandson of the master, not only to enter the ancestral hall, but also to report to the ancestral mansion."

　　Ke Ren whispered again: "Sister, you don't know, my wife was a little unhappy when she heard that it was a boy."

　　Yindie nodded, "Pity the hearts of parents in the world! How can we not know the wife's thoughts? It's just God's will, there's nothing we can do."

　　Ke Ren said: "Brother Shu has a fifth-class title, which is already much stronger than that of ordinary princes and grandchildren. Even if he is like the second master over there in the future, he will not lose a rich and noble person. Being a jinshi, I'm better than Brother Rong. If I were my wife, I wouldn't worry about this or that."

　　Yindie covered her mouth and smiled and said, "We are all just aunties. Even if there is a Spyker, it will not be our children's turn. It is serious to save more money for them."

　　Ke Ren agreed: "Very well. Why is your stomach still unresponsive? I guess it should be there too?"

　　Yindie covered her face with shame, and said after a long while, "I tried many ways, but it didn't work. I'm afraid it's useless to rush. If I'm destined to have no children, I'll take Wan'er as my daughter."

　　Ke Ren comforted: "You are still young, so there will be opportunities in the future. The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself and not to think wildly."

　　Yindie smiled and said: "It's not crazy, I mean serious. There are so many women around the master, it's impossible to be here with you and me every day. There is a way of life. Sometimes there is a must in life, and there is no need to force it in life. As long as The master still loves me, and I am content."

　　But people sighed in surprise: "Master always said that Second Concubine You was submissive, but you are really submissive!"

　　Yindie chuckled and said again: "You said that the master is among us, who do you like the most?"

　　Ke Ren thought about it for a while and shook his head: "I can't guess what the master is thinking. But I know that the two of us should be the most inseparable from the master."

　　Yindie stretched out a finger, "Master will always like the one who has never been through the door."

　　But after hearing this, he smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell the master what you said? However, what you said is very accurate, the master is indeed such a person. How many Qingwen do you see? There is no end to the favor."

　　"I'm afraid there will be people who are more favored than them in the future!" Yindie stood up and said emotionally: "In terms of beauty, figure, personality and talent, I can't compare to them. Since I can't make the old man love me, then I can only make him most inseparable from me. In this way, there will always be a corner in his heart that will belong to me. Even if there is only such a small place. "

　　Ke Ren said: "The few of us, my wife, needless to say, Concubine You Er and Mrs. Cai Ping Ziwei have their lives together, Qingwen and the three of them have always been one, but the two of us are connected by the same fate. What you said just now is not me. What do you think? We don't have to compete with them for favor, and quietly do the things that the master explained, he will always leave us a place. "

　　Yindie took the lovely hand and said firmly: "It's the future... if the master doesn't like us, that's fine. I've been running outside for the past two years, and I've seen more of the world. Many women are on their own, no Only rely on men to live. There is a saying that women can survive only by being independent.”

　　"Ouch!" Ke Ren stood up in surprise, "I didn't expect you to think the same as me. We are not like them, we are raised in a boudoir and do not eat fireworks. Why can't a woman do a career? Wu Zetian even did it. The emperor!"

　　Yindie smiled and said: "I don't want to be the emperor. If the master becomes the emperor, I will be satisfied as a concubine."

　　Ke Ren held Yindie's waist, "If the master becomes the emperor, I will let him make me a general!" She leaned over and whispered mysteriously: "The whimsical thoughts in our master's head. There are too many to count, but he is too lazy to think about it, wasting his talents in vain. Why don't we give him a push? Maybe he can really be an emperor!"

　　Yindie thought he was joking, so he agreed with the situation: "Our lord has money and soldiers, as long as we secretly expand our power and wait until the time is right...it's not impossible! Haha..."

　　They both looked at each other and laughed in unison.

　　In the boudoir, after all, it's just a joke, it can't be true.But the development of all things is always independent of human will, who can guess?

　　Ning Guofu Jia Zhen has a grandson, and all relatives and friends came to congratulate, naturally there was a lively scene.

　　But when Wang Ningjun of Qinyang County heard the news, he was furious.

　　"You bastards! Didn't that mean that Jia Rong was deposed? Did Xu Ziyun catch him?"

　　A small official with a long history replied tremblingly: "My lord, Xu Ziyun has already caught it. According to his account, he couldn't bear it and deliberately reduced the amount of the medicine. But his subordinates thought that the medicine he used was ferocious, so he Only half of it is enough to cause infertility. Besides, according to the time, Mrs. Jia Rong was pregnant before Xu Ziyun prescribed the medicine..."

　　Ning Jun grinned and said, "You mean you still have merit?" He picked up the paperweight on the case and hit the official directly, bleeding immediately.

　　"Bastard! Now that his woman has given birth to him a son, what's the use of becoming a eunuch?"

　　The tyrannical Ning Jun lost his temper, and detained his several dog-headed military divisions to make suggestions.

　　But why does Ning Jun have to kill Jia Rong?

　　Who is Jia Rong's father is Jia Zhen, and Jia Zhen didn't give him the old man's face, and he didn't know how to share some of the money he earned?

　　Jia Zhen was so favored by the emperor that he couldn't move for a while, so his son became the best punching bag.

　　Who knew it didn't work out?

　　What a bunch of wine bags and rice bags!

Chapter [-]: Going to the South and Returning to the South

　　Soon it will be winter.

　　Suddenly, an order came from the palace to let Jia Zhen enter the palace very quickly.Jia Zhen thought about what he had done recently, and it seemed that there was nothing out of the norm, and asked Keren how many pieces of silver he had, so Shi Shiran and eunuch Chuanzhi went to Daming Palace.

　　At this time, it was as warm as spring in the Daming Palace. Even in the daytime, hundreds of candles with thick arms were lit.Jia Zhen walked all the way with her head lowered, her peripheral vision glanced left and right, and she couldn't help but sigh: It's hard to say whether it's useful or not, but this number alone is truly royal!It's just that when you came last time, it didn't seem to be so publicized?

　　Inside the hall, Jia Zhen took a few steps forward and shouted long live at the Emperor's Mount from afar.

　　"That's it!" The emperor stroked his beard and said in a casual tone, "Speak now!"

　　Jia Zhen crawled forward with both hands and feet. The emperor couldn't help laughing when he saw that his butt was twisted and twisted, "You kid, let you come over!"

　　As if receiving amnesty, Jia Zhen stood up carefully, still bowing her head and walking forward to a place three feet away from the imperial case.

　　Who knew that the emperor beckoned him to come closer, "I have something important to tell you, come and talk!"

　　Jia Zhen suppressed the doubts in her heart and carefully stopped until she got close to the imperial case.

　　The emperor became more and more satisfied with Jia Zhen's politeness, paused for a while, and said, "I plan to order you to rectify the commercial and trade exchanges in the south of the Yangtze River. There will be a plan in two days, you are ready to go south!"

　　Jia Zhen was extremely unwilling to have any relationship with the exchange, so he hesitated: "Your Majesty, this subject is a military general..."

　　The emperor glared at Jia Zhen, "I know you are a military general. What's wrong? I still can't command you, right?"

　　Jia Zhen immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, you can't scare the minister! The minister is really brave and loyal, without any falsehood!"

　　"Got it!" The emperor called him to get up, "put away your little thoughts. The troubles in Suzhou and Songjiang are too outrageous. Last year, the payment was nearly [-] taels, and this year there are only [-] taels left. I checked over there and found no problem, but I will never believe it! You give me a good check."

　　Jia Zhen gave it a little thought, but it was all cheating to enrich her own pockets.

　　So Jia Zhen asked carefully, "Your Majesty, what kind of result do you want?"

　　The emperor asked in surprise: "What do you mean?"

　　Jia Zhen played: "Your Majesty, when the ministers designed this exchange, they have already considered all aspects. Those people who want to be greedy for ink are nothing more than those methods. [-] taels of silver is not much to say, but it is not enough. Little. If the emperor wants to get to the bottom of it, the officials and merchants in Susong area, and even many people in Jinling will be killed; if the emperor only wants to recover the stolen money, a small punishment and a big admonition will be enough. How about the minister? Act, please express the emperor!"

　　The emperor looked at Jia Zhen and suddenly burst out laughing.After laughing, the emperor said to Jia Zhen word by word: "All businesses involved will be searched and questioned, and all officials involved, civil servants of the fifth rank and below, military generals and generals below, take questions immediately and deal with them according to the law. Those of rank five or above will first report to me to know before making a decision."

　　When Jia Zhen heard it, she was immediately awe-inspiring, the emperor is going to take it all in one pot!He thought about it for a while, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please give the minister a military position, and please allow the minister to act cheaply!"
