Chapter 455 Aunt Xue: He... isn't he bored?
Ningguo Mansion
It was almost time, Jia Heng had just arrived in the inner hall, before he could sit down, accompanied by the scent of orchids and musk, he turned his eyes and saw Qingwen coming in with her water snake waist twisted, and said crisply: "Master, Qu Zhenfu envoy is in the front hall Been waiting for a long time."
"Understood." Jia Heng said, got up from his seat and went to the front hall.
"Captain." Seeing Jia Heng coming in, Qu Lang got up from his chair, bowed his hands with a respectful expression.
Jia Heng looked indifferent, and said: "Go to the study outside to talk."
In the study outside, Jia Heng came to the mahogany desk and lifted the teapot. With the sound of "cracking", the blue and white auspicious cloud patterned teacup curled up with steam.
Jia Heng poured two cups of tea, handed over one, and asked, "Wang Zhongshun's residence, what's going on recently?"
Qu Lang was flattered and took the teacup, and gently persuaded him: "There is no new news from Qiguan'er, Luo Langzhong from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the two adults from the Ministry of Industry are all under the watchful eyes of their cronies. ...Maybe the governor might as well take it easy for a while?"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "It's right to take a break, wait until this case is over, and then deal with that matter. Now that the wind is high and the waves are rough in Beijing, it is not appropriate to make extra trouble."
The case of Jia Amnesty was discovered, and the capital focused attention. It was impossible for him to immediately reveal the corruption case in the Imperial Mausoleum, otherwise, he would be suspected of having an unprovoked dispute with King Zhongshun.
Once Jia Amnesty's case is settled, he will borrow the hands of others to uncover the shady scene of corruption in the Imperial Mausoleum, and then he can just sit back and watch the situation change, but there is still a possibility that he will be involved.
That is to say, together with the big prison, the Jinyi Mansion may preside over the case. At that time, even if he wanted to watch the fire from the other side, it would be difficult for him to do so.of
"Where is Sun Shaozu?" Jia Heng suppressed some distant thoughts in his heart, put down the teacup, stared at Qu Lang, and asked.
"The humble and decent people are watching. Today's incident will probably arouse their vigilance. I don't know what the governor's idea is?" Qu Lang asked.
Jia Heng thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "First, in the name of smuggling and conspiracy, detain this person. After a few days, I will come to interrogate him personally."
Sun Shaozu inherited the command of the Datong Guard, and now he is not a big man in the military department, but now he is implicated in Jia Lian's case, so the Beizhen Fusi can be detained and interrogated as usual.
In fact, the power of Jinyi Mansion was quite inflated in the early years of Chongping. Officials below the third rank could be invited to Jinyi Mansion to drink tea after seeing the Jinyi Mansion driving stickers.
But in the past few years, the emperor has been under the imperial court for a long time, and he has gradually paid attention to eating and drinking. All serious and important cases are often handed over to the three courts for joint trial and judgment. Compared with the past, he pays more attention to procedural norms. It will be a different matter. At that time, the "Law of the Great Han Dynasty" was a piece of waste paper in front of the emperor who talked about the constitution of heaven.
Qu Lang said: "When I return from my humble position, I will be arrested."
Jia Heng nodded, and said: "Recently, there are a lot of affairs in the capital inspection. The capital's ground monitoring should be timely, pay more attention, and make a good match with Dong Qian, the deputy commander of Zhongcheng, so that nothing goes wrong."
Under the background of the Jingchao, the party struggle will intensify. Some signs have appeared in the court meeting today, and it is still unknown how far it will go in the future.
Qu Lang respectfully responded, and immediately said: "Captain, Zhao Qianhu sent a letter with a pigeon, and the speaker has arrived in Jinling."
Zhao Yi from Nanzhen Fusi escorted Xu Tingye, the supervisor of the Military Weapons Supervisor, and several craftsmen, and went south to Haojing to learn the art of artillery making. They are still on the way.
"Official documents are to be sent to the provinces, so that thousands of households along the way can pick them up." Jia Heng ordered.
Qu Lang said: "The official document has been issued."
Jia Heng thought for a while and said, "Let him arrive at Haojing and deliver the letter in time."
After explaining a few matters, he sent Qu Lang away, and after a short rest, he had to go to Wucheng Bingma Division to handle government affairs.
After returning to the inner hall, she sat down, raised her eyes and saw Qingwen, and called out, "Qingwen, come and rub my shoulders."
"Hey, young master." Qingwen responded sweetly, with a smile on her pretty and charming Guazi face.
Said, walked around, accompanied by a burst of fragrance, pinched Jia Heng's shoulders, and asked: "My lord, are you tired today?"
Jia Heng closed her eyes slightly, enjoying the massage with her little hands, and said in a gentle voice: "It's not that tired, it's like this every day, I'm almost used to it."
Now it is basically running in three places. If it is not worth staying at the military plane and going to the court, it is bound to go to the Beijing camp early in the morning to supervise the training of the [-]th regiment battalion, and in the afternoon to go to Jinyi Mansion or Wucheng Bingma Division. Hear reports from the two yamen on public security and intelligence work in the capital.
At noon, I will take time to accompany Princess Jinyang, and at night I will return to Ningguo Mansion.
"I heard that in the West Mansion, the elder master and the second master Lian have been arrested?" Qingwen frowned and asked in a low voice.
Jia Heng said in a low voice: "The two violated the national law and are still being interrogated."
"Some time ago, their father and son were making trouble." Qing Wen curled her lips and said, "Yuanyang, and the matter of Lian's second grandma. In this way, the house is much cleaner."
The girl has no respect for Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian.
Jia Heng gave a soft "huh" and said: "Let's just talk about it in private. Tell the maids and women below not to talk too much."
The nerves of the West Mansion will be very sensitive in the recent period. If you hear gloating words from all over the East Mansion, it will not be good after all.
"I don't usually go to the West Mansion. I'm not in a hurry to have a word with the young master. The girl Xiangling is dumbfounded and doesn't talk to me much. Bi'er and the other two sisters are practicing martial arts." Qingwen said in her tone. Somewhat lonely.
Jia Heng smiled lightly, and asked: "I see that you are not playing with Cui Mo and Shi Shu recently, the three of you often practice calligraphy together."
Because Tanchun came here often, the two maids Cuimo and Shishu he brought with him played with Qingwen.
Qingwen is just the age that loves to play and play. Several girls in their teens get together and often talk and play.
Three women in one play, the girls of Rongning Second Mansion have their own social circles, and the maids are no exception, they also have their own social circles.
As Jia Heng's eldest maid, Qingwen doesn't know why, she doesn't play with Baozhu and Ruizhu very much, but with Tanchun's maids Cuimo, Shishu, Xichun's maids Caiping, Ruhua, etc. People are good.
Of course, it is also the status of the chief maid who is usually respected by all the maids.
"We were practicing calligraphy together." Qingwen said softly.
Jia Heng said softly: "The West Manor and the others are more lively. After the garden is repaired, it will be cheaper to travel."
Didn't Sister Feng say the day before yesterday that the rocks and plants in Jia She's courtyard were not allowed to be transplanted, but now that I think about it, these problems don't exist anymore.
Since it can't solve the problem, it can solve the person who caused the problem.
While the master and servant were talking, only the jingling of the bead curtains could be heard, and Qin Keqing, Second Sister You, Third Sister You, and a group of maidservants and wives came out from the back room together.
"Husband." Qin Keqing wore a peach red skirt, and asked with concern on her bright and delicate face: "Just now, something happened to the Grand Master of the West Mansion?"
Jia Heng opened his eyes and asked, "Have you listened too?"
"The movement is so loud, I heard that the palace sent an angel to deliver the decree." Qin Keqing said softly.
Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian, the two former masters, were ordered to be arrested and interrogated, and it almost spread like a hurricane across the eastern and western prefectures. It can be said that they will become topics of endless discussion in the future.
This is also the reason why Jia Heng didn't choose to expose it by himself. If he did it himself, it would be too ugly.
Others don't care whether it's smuggling or smuggling or violating the laws of the country. They only have one feeling that the rise of the common people will lead to the death of the direct ones.
As for Xue Pan, in the life lawsuit, Xue Pan didn't lose his life in the end. In fact, he took care of Xue's family.
Jia Heng briefly narrated what had happened, and said: "The laws of the country are hard to tolerate, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Everything depends on the good fortune of his father and son."
Third Sister You listened, her face moved slightly, her beautiful eyes stared at the young man, for some reason, she always felt that there was something unusual in Xifu.
Qin Keqing frowned and said, "The old lady, did you say that again?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said, "What else can I say? It's just a challenge."
"It seems that I want to let the uncle go to the palace to intercede." Third Sister You Yanye said in a pretty voice with a trace of displeasure on her face.
"Some affections can be begged, but some affections are useless to anyone." Jia Heng looked calm, picked up the tea cup at the side, took a sip, looked at Qin Keqing, and said in a gentle voice: "Sister-in-law Feng is not in a good mood these days, If you come over, you can help enlighten me."
If Jia Lian were exiled, Sister Feng's situation would be quite embarrassing, and all aspects of the West Mansion could not be separated from Sister Feng.
Qin Keqing nodded her head and said, "I'll persuade her."
Let's talk about Baochai again. In the Tanchun house, the girls were emotional for a while, and then went away separately. At this time, they returned to Lixiangyuan with Yinger.
On the Chaoshou verandah, Ying'er called softly: "Miss."
Baochai frowned slightly, glanced at Yinger, and said angrily, "We'll talk about it when we go back."
No matter good or bad, it is not good to narrate on the road, in case the walls have ears.
Ying'er let out a "hmm", stuck out her tongue, and followed Baochai back to Lixiangyuan.
At this moment, it was obvious that Aunt Xue hadn't returned from Rongqing Hall, so Baochai and Yinger returned to the wing room first.
Baochai took off the red cloak she was wearing, sat on the bed, and took out a box from the closet. Inside the box was a blue robe, took it out, sat on the bed in front of the kang, and planned to sew it.
Since it was the spring clothes that the girl prepared for Jia Heng, if Aunt Xue asked, it was for Xue Pan.
Ying'er was sitting behind the kang table opposite, with one hand resting on her chin, she said in a low voice, "Girl, I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the house. The second master's job in the Ministry of Industry went wrong the day before yesterday, and now the eldest master... …I don’t know if the title can be kept.”
"Whether we can keep it or not, it has nothing to do with us." Baochai looked pale, lowered her head, twisted a thread from a green coil, and passed it through the embroidery needle hole. A section of frosted and bright wrist appeared, and the jasper bracelet was crystal clear and full of emerald green.
Ying'er nodded and said: "Uncle Heng is flourishing now, and he will be a prince in the future, and there will be some."
Baochai gave Yinger a white look, but fortunately Yinger didn't say any nonsense.
In other words, the master and the servant both have a cautious temperament, even if they are talking privately, others will be puzzled by Monk Zhanger at first glance.
Ying'er sighed: "It's just that the first month will come out the day after tomorrow, I'm afraid I'm going to go to Wucheng Bingma Division."
For the past two days, Xue Pan has had limited mobility, so he has been staying at home.
When Baochai heard this, he paused slightly and sighed softly.
While the master and servant were talking, Wen Xing, Baochai's other maid, suddenly came into the room with her buns tied up, and said in a low voice, "Girl, my wife is back."
Baochai put the clothes aside, got up quickly, went out of the hall to greet her, and asked, "Mom, is the old lady resting there?"
"I'm tired now, and I'm taking a rest." Aunt Xue said softly, sat down, and sighed: "This is such a mess, everyone in the family is worried."
It has only been half a year, and Aunt Xue has witnessed the whole process of the "decline" of Rongguo Mansion, and she cannot help but sigh with emotion.
Aunt Xue is an onlooker, and she has already begun to realize that the Rongguo Mansion is now in the official position, and there are no people doing things.
Of course, the background of the Jia family is not limited to this, not to mention the prosperity of Jia Heng in the East Mansion, the four major families are connected with each other, and there is also a historian with two lords.
Baochai said softly: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite."
"Yes." Aunt Xue sighed again, then looked at her daughter, lowered her voice, and couldn't help saying: "My dear girl, I just heard what the old lady meant, and she transferred the title to Baoyu, and I don't know what it is." statement."
If Baoyu can take over the title, that is, the third-class general, then the family property of the Duke's family cannot be said...
That's why it's hard to say anything in person. After returning home, everyone has their own plans.
Baochai's apricot eyes flashed, and she said softly: "Didn't Brother Heng from the East Manor say it before, and Uncle also said it, it's not quite appropriate."
With the intelligence of a young girl, she naturally knew what her mother was thinking, and it was clearly about the matter of a golden and jade marriage, so her thoughts came alive again.
"That being said, it's still not complete." Aunt Xue said something in a low voice, but it was not easy to go deep.
At this moment, Xue Pan's voice came from under the eaves of the corridor outside the hall through the curtain, "Are mom and sister in the house?"
While talking, Xue Pan lifted the curtain and entered the hall, his eyes as big as copper bells rolled around, looked at his mother and younger sister, and finally fell on Aunt Xue's face, and asked: "Mom, how did I hear that the Eldest Master still has something to offer?" Did something happen to Brother Lian?"
Aunt Xue frowned, and said: "You are not in the house so that you can take care of yourself, and what kind of ear did you listen to?"
"Mom, don't hide it from me, the movement is so big, it's hard for me not to know." Xue Pan sat on the embroidered pier nearby, with a big face full of laughter, and said hesitantly: "I was thinking about it at first. Lian's second elder brother is going to have an accident, so it really should be on this occasion."
Seeing her son's playful smile, Aunt Xue said angrily, "What kind of an afterthought are you here?"
Xue Pan said: "Before I invited Lian's second brother to drink a few times, he talked about some business matters after drinking, and I was scared when I heard it."
Aunt Xue's complexion changed slightly, and she said anxiously: "You didn't get involved, did you?"
"How dare I do those disasters." Xue Pan said quickly, rolled his eyes, and asked again: "Now that the Eldest Master and Second Brother are going in, did Cousin Heng say anything?"
Aunt Xue shook her head and said: "What your cousin means is that you don't plan to take care of it, saying that it is a case assigned by the palace, and no one can get in the way."
Xue Pan said in a low voice: "I heard that such a toss seems to be about to lose the title."
"That's right, the old lady is trying to keep her title, and she's so worried." Aunt Xue sighed, and then said: "Let's not talk about this, you will leave the day after tomorrow, I was thinking Brother Heng will be invited over tomorrow for a banquet, so you brothers should have a good chat."
Xue Pan's face fell instantly.
Aunt Xue said, looked at Baochai, and asked, "My dear girl, what did Brother Heng say a few days ago? You have invited me several times, but it seems like you still haven't received any confirmation."
It's just ordinary inquiries and complaints, but I don't have any suspicions.
But Baochai's heart skipped a beat, Liu Ye frowned, sighed lightly, and said, "Brother Heng has been very busy these days, I went to the East Mansion, and I haven't seen anyone a few times. Just sit with my sister-in-law for a while, Mom, why don't I ask when it's dark and I'm having dinner, I'm thinking about how I can come over tomorrow."
"That's fine, I'm too busy looking at it, I'm leading a group of people, it seems like I just came back from the yamen." Aunt Xue nodded, but she remembered the scene she saw in the courtyard earlier.
Seeing this, Baochai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, I didn't want to see my mother holding my hand at this moment, hesitating to speak, with complicated eyes.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Baochai asked hastily, feeling a little flustered.
Aunt Xue hesitated and said: "My dear girl, I'm looking for him because of your brother's affairs, he...he doesn't feel bored, does he?"
Baochai shook her head lightly, and said softly: "Brother Heng, although his temper seems a little colder, he is very kind to others."
Bored didn't mean bored, on the contrary... At this moment, the girl's golden lock was slightly hot, and she didn't dare to think about it.
However, Aunt Xue remembered the resolute attitude of the young man in Rongxi Hall before, and said in a low voice: "You are so young, but you have a hard heart, but if you are not so assertive, you can't do such a big thing outside. , Mom, I'm also worried that you will be wronged, so it's good that he didn't shake his face."
Baochai said softly: "Mom, didn't we say earlier that when it came to elder brother's matter, I was given some kindness, otherwise, if others let it out now, I'm afraid it can't be easily settled like today."
Xue Pan smiled and said, "Mom, I thought about it that way too. Think about it, cousin Heng heard that he went to the palace to tell the Emperor Lao Tzu, the Emperor Lao Tzu is using him, can you not give him thin noodles? , the Dali Temple that he led me to at the beginning, people can be ruthless, look again, the elder brother and Lian's second brother, they don't care about it, this gap..."
At this moment, Xue Pan basically sent the message "I'm going to take a bath" to the goddess, and started to read and comprehend the last word "oh".
The word "oh" fully reflects her playfulness and kindness...
Aunt Xue looked puzzled, and said: "But if you talk about treating our family... it doesn't make sense. When it comes to closeness, we are far away."
"Mom, I'm afraid you forgot. Brother Heng was bullied a lot before he arrived in Dongfu. I've found out about it. No wonder he doesn't help now. It's kind of him not to step on his foot." It's gone." Xue Pan shook his head, as if he had entered himself.
It is clearly mentioned that Jia Heng had a quarrel with Jia Amnesty before he entered the East Mansion.
Aunt Xue suddenly said: "There was still a dispute the day before yesterday. In this way, Brother Heng knows it well."
It's really righteous to kill relatives, stern and selfless, although respectable, but difficult to get close to, now that the grievances and grievances are clear, it will be easy to handle.
Listening to her mother and elder brother talking about that man, Baochai pursed her pink lips and said nothing, now is not the time to tell the truth.
Xue Pan chuckled and said, "Mom, let's wait until brother Xun Heng has a good talk tomorrow, and I will go back and rest."
"Go ahead." Aunt Xue nodded and said.
