Chapter 545 Jia Heng: There is no need to be alarmed

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall

In the evening, Mother Jia was sitting on the Arhat bed, surrounded by Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue and others talking. Shensi does not belong.

At noon, Liu Fang's mother, the Sun family and the Tang family, came once, which undoubtedly cast a layer of gloom on the hearts of everyone in the mansion.

Even though there was a lot of talking and laughing under Sister Feng's warm-up in the middle, they still paid close attention to the outside affairs.

Xiangyun said: "Third sister, Brother Heng didn't say anything this morning?"

Tanchun shook his head, and said, "Brother Heng has been on duty at the military plane recently, so I don't know the situation."

"Old lady, the second master is back." At this moment, a nun entered the Rongqing Hall and reported.

Jia Mu looked up at the setting sun outside, a little surprised, and asked, "Haven't you left the office at this time?"

While speaking, Jia Zheng had already stepped into the Rongqing Hall. He didn't even take off his official robes, but his steps were heavy, and his expression was obviously in a trance.

"Zheng'er, you're not in the yamen at this time, why are you back?" Mother Jia asked suspiciously, while Baoyu who was on the side hid behind the sisters in fright.

"My son asked the envoy for sick leave." Jia Zheng sat down with a sad face and sighed.

Seeing that Jia Zheng's expression was not right, Jia's mother felt a little uncomfortable and asked, "What's going on?"

Jia Zheng picked up the teacup beside him and said, "It's nothing."

And as time passed, it turned out that the impeachment memorials of Ke Dao Yushi were delivered to the Secretary of General Affairs. Jia Zheng, who was in the office of the Secretary of General Affairs, saw the memorials first, not to mention overwhelming, but the continuous impeachment memorials still frightened Jia Zheng. Not light.

Because the memorial not only impeached Jia Heng, but also impeached Jia Zheng and Qin Ye.

But Ke Dao Yanguan's pen is so sharp, almost like a knife, and goes deep to the bone. When Jia Zheng saw such a battle, he was disturbed, so he told Cheng Xin, the envoy, and returned home.

Seeing Jia Zheng's situation, Jia's mother was even more worried, and said anxiously, "Zheng'er, are you feeling unwell?"

Mrs. Wang also cast her concerned gaze over there, with some doubts on her face.

Aunt Xue, Fengwan, Chaidai, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xiangyun all looked at Jia Zheng suspiciously.

Jia Zheng put down the teacup and asked, "Mother, I'm fine. Where's Ziyu?"

"This is strange. At noon, the Duke of Li also looked for him. What are you?" Jia Mu said, her heart moved, and she asked, "Could something happen?"

Jia Zheng pondered for a while, sighed, and said: "The Secretary of the General Administration is all about the impeachment of his son, saying that his son was promoted, which is unreasonable, lacking in talent and virtue, and unworthy of being the Secretary of the General Administration.

As soon as these words came out, the Rongqing hall was silent.

Madam Wang's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "Grandpa, why did the courtiers impeach? Could it be because of Brother Noon Heng?"

Everyone: "..."

Jia Mu glared at Mrs. Wang and said, "Zheng'er, you have always been honest and responsible. Why are these people being impeached?"

At this time, Jia Zheng read a lot of memorials scolding himself, and felt somewhat irritable. He sighed and said, "Not only is the son impeached, but also Ziyu, and Mr. Qin, mother, why don't you impeach this official?" Just resign, go home and serve your mother well, and be filial."

After all, he was somewhat thin-skinned when he worked in the Ministry of Industry before. Suddenly, he saw many censors scolding him in different ways, and some articles were written in colorful and clear order. .

When Jia Mu heard the words, her complexion changed suddenly, as if she had been killed by lightning, she said, "Zheng'er, how come you have reached the point of resigning?"

Both Aunt Xue and Feng Wan's complexions changed slightly, and their hearts were filled with surprise and doubt.

Tanchun, Daiyu, and Baochai also frowned in unison, looked at each other, and shook their heads secretly, for some reason.

Even Mrs. Wang's expression changed suddenly, and she said: "Master, it's come to this point, why did it come to this?"

Jia Zheng thought for a while and said, "Forget it, we'll talk about it when Ziyu comes back."

Jia's mother hurriedly said: "When Brother Heng comes back, you and I will discuss it. How can you resign? Brother Heng worked so hard for your business, how can you just resign?"

Said, quickly looked at Yuanyang, and ordered: "Yuanyang, it's already evening, go to Dongfu to see Brother Heng, has he come back?"

At this moment, Jia Heng and Princess Xianning were leaving the Beijing camp in a carriage, and returned together under the guards of the Jinyi Mansion. The afterglow of the evening sun shone through the curtains into the carriage.

The excitement on Princess Xianning's jade face remained undiminished, she looked at the young man at the side, and said: "Then go to Beijing camp tomorrow, and I will go to the mansion to find Mr."

Jia Heng paused, and said, "Your Highness, just go directly to Beijing Camp."

When Princess Xianning heard this, the joy on her face faded, for some reason, her heart moved slightly, and she asked a question: "Mr. is afraid that Mrs. Madam will know?"

After finishing speaking, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little regretful.

She's really bumping into someone, what's the point of asking these questions politely?

What is it that Mrs. Madam is afraid to know?She and her husband had a bright future, and everything was clean.

Just when Princess Xianning was worrying about gains and losses, Jia Heng suddenly smiled and said: "Then His Highness may come to the mansion to find me tomorrow, just to introduce you to some new friends."

It would be better to introduce Tanchun to Xianning, and no matter Baochai or Daiyu, in the Grand View Garden, where the field of vision is limited, we should also see some different scenery and make friends with some outstanding sisters of the same age.

In this way, Princess Xianning's face moved slightly, her clear eyes reflected the figure of the young man, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart, because this move seemed to be similar to the uneasiness of seeing parents in later generations, she pinched the handkerchief and asked: " The new friend is Mr...."

The word "Concubine Ji", which had been lingering for a long time, was not uttered after all.

But after thinking about it, sir, he just got married not long ago, so there shouldn't be any concubines?

Jia Heng smiled, looked at the slightly embarrassed girl, and said in a warm voice: "They are sisters in the clan, with different temperaments, but they are all kind-hearted, well-educated girls. Your Highness should like it when you see her." of."

Princess Xianning paused when she heard the words, thinking about it.

If it is the sister of the husband's clan, she will get to know her well in advance, and she will get along easily in the future...

Well, what was she thinking?What will we get along with in the future?

Thinking of this, he quickly dispelled some thoughts, "Sir, wait a few days until the affairs of the Beijing camp are settled, and it won't be too late to see you again."

It didn't seem appropriate for her to go there so rashly.

"Alright." Jia Heng didn't insist either.

At this time, while talking, at the intersection of Ningrong Street, Jia Heng turned his head to look at Princess Xianning who was out of his mind, and said softly: "Your Highness, let's go here, I will go back first."

Princess Xianning: "..."

At this time, don't you invite him to come to the house?Only now did he clearly say that he would lead her to meet the sisters at home.

So, the words just now were said deliberately in front of her?

So what exactly is sir worried about.

Jia Heng looked at the girl calmly, and gradually softened a bit, and said: "Your Highness will go back earlier, I guess the imperial concubine should miss her."

I don't know if Xianning has the eyeliner of Concubine Duan Rong, and how he will feel after learning that his daughter was led to the camp by him.

"Then sir, let's see you tomorrow." Princess Xianning's clear eyes reflected the figure of the young man, she nodded her head, but suddenly remembered something, and said softly: "Sir, Brother Sanhuang is marrying a girl from the Wang family of Nan'an County. At the end of the month, the ceremony of conferring the princess will be held in the palace."

"Well, the King of Wei told me earlier that it will be time to send invitations." Jia Heng said loudly, without further words, got out of the carriage, and headed for Ningguo Mansion under a pair of reluctant eyes.

Just as Jia Heng arrived at Ningguo Mansion, a servant came up to him at the door and said, "Master, the old lady has sent Miss Yuanyang to call Master over."

Jia Heng was surprised, and asked, "Did you say anything?"

"The little one doesn't know." The boy shook his head and said, "Miss Yuanyang is waiting in the flower hall."

Jia Heng handed the reins of the horse to the boy, walked towards the inner room, passed the Yimen Gate, and strode into the flower hall.

The mandarin duck is sitting on the chair and waiting at this moment. The girl in the water-green jacket and skirt and the shiny black braids is tall and tall with a fair complexion and a duck-egg face with a few small freckles, full of surprise. He went up and said: "Master Heng, are you back?"

Jia Heng nodded and asked, "Did the old lady ask you to come here? Talk while walking."

The mandarin ducks came here, most likely because they were assigned by Mother Jia to inquire about the affairs of the court, rather than to beg for kisses.

Yuanyang responded, and went towards the West Mansion with Jia Heng, and said: "It is the master who came back and told the old lady that the Secretary of General Affairs has many memorials to impeach the master."

Jia Heng remained calm and said, "I guess that's what happened."

After he blamed Jinliu and Jin with a stick, he knew that the officials of Ke Dao would not turn a blind eye and would definitely react. On the return journey, Liu Jixian, a thousand households in Jinyi, had already told him that Jinyi Mansion was everywhere in Shenjing City, so how could he hide it? beat him?

Just a bunch of jumping clowns!

Family affairs, state affairs, affairs of the world, and affairs in the court are mostly transmitted to the back house at this moment, so he also needs to explain to Jia Zheng.

The sky cannot fall!

"I'll go to Rongqing Hall to explain the details to the old lady and the master."

Jia Heng said, and went to Rongqing Hall with Yuanyang.

Mother Jia had been waiting anxiously for a while, but when she heard Jia Heng coming over, she looked over with joy on her face.

Not only Jia Mu, but also Baochai, Daiyu, Yingchun, and Xiangyun all looked at the boy who had just returned from the yamen.

"Brother Heng." Mother Jia called out.

Jia Heng bowed to Jia's mother, then looked at Jia Zheng who was sitting aside with a strange look on his face, and asked, "Master Zheng, have you seen all the memorials from the Secretary of General Affairs?"

Jia Zheng's face moved slightly, and he said, "Zi Yu, Yuanyang told you just now."

Jia Heng nodded, and did not rush to speak clearly, but sat down, and under the eyes of everyone, he picked up the teacup on the small table, took a sip slowly, met everyone's gaze, and said: "I just came from When Jingying came back, he hadn't had a sip of tea yet."

Perhaps it was this calmness, or the calm demeanor that infected everyone.

The apricot pupils under Baochai's beautiful eyebrows flashed and returned to normal.

Jia Heng said: "As for the matter of the two of Jinliu, I guess the Yushi took the opportunity to impeach him. This is because someone is making trouble. You don't need to be alarmed. There is also the relocation of the father-in-law and the master. Maybe someone will use this to talk about it. These are all fine. , the palace will not listen to their nonsense."

Hearing what Jia Heng said, for some reason, Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression softened a bit.

Mother Jia let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "Thank God, Zheng'er, I'll just say it's okay, you should discuss everything with Brother Heng more."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Old lady, Brother Heng is very knowledgeable, whoever came here at noon to tell tales, what happened, the palace even fined his salary."

Aunt Xue also smiled and said, "The old lady just relax."

At this moment, the worry on the faces of Baochai, Daiyu, and Tanchun also eased a lot.

Even Mrs. Wang's hand that held the Buddha beads tightly loosened a little, and her expression eased.

Well, this is amazing.

In a moment, Mrs. Wang also realized that she was a little ashamed of thinking this way, and felt ashamed and flustered.

"Brother Heng, Baoyu and his father said that he was going to resign, but I was very scared. At noon in Liu's house, the palace heard that Liu's family's salary was also fined." Seeing Jia Heng, Jia's mother explained again.

"Punish the Liu family's salary." Jia Heng pondered for a moment, guessing the intention of Emperor Chongping, and said: "It's just that there were some disputes during the court meeting, but it's not a big deal. Impeachment is also a normal matter, and there is no need to be alarmed by the rumors."

Jia Zheng's complexion changed, knowing that he was talking about himself, he showed shame, and said: "What Ziyu said is true, I lost my mind, and my position is in chaos."

Thinking about the performance of the young man just now, but looking at his bewilderment and panic, not to mention other things, just the skill of raising qi, it is not a little bit worse.

"Master has rarely seen such battles. In fact, even the cabinet members have impeached many officials." Jia Heng thought for a while and said, "The key is the Sacred Heart."

What is the Sacred Heart? The general direction of the Military Plane Office to check and balance the cabinet, and the Ningguo Mansion to check and balance the four kings and eight lords, Wu Xun, have not changed.

Jia Zheng nodded, his face thoughtful.

Jia Heng thought for a while, looked at Mother Jia, and said solemnly: "Old lady, I have a few other things to tell the family."

Not only do we need to plan ahead for things outside, but we also need to make some arrangements for things at home. His movements in the Beijing camp these days will be noticed by some censors. Maybe the impeachment will be more popular. The concubine, the old hag of Liu Fang's family, came here to provoke right and wrong, making the house restless, and then calling him over, made me exhausted.

Instead, Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, she clearly rarely saw Jia Heng like this, and asked a lot: "Brother Heng, this..."

Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Old lady, I have some things to say in advance. I am afraid that the Kodao officials will take the opportunity to criticize me recently. The direction of the wind may seem confusing to ordinary people. The old lady only cares about the high-level Let’s talk about family relationships together, don’t pay attention to the wind and rain outside, and don’t need to see those gossiping women who come to tell stories, such as the Nan’an concubine, Liu Fang’s family, and the gold family and silver family, especially the Nan’an concubine, the Ministry of Industry the day before yesterday The old lady also knows about this matter, I have never played favoritism with my relatives, she has a grudge, and she can't say that she will come to the door to tell the truth, and if we make trouble again, our family will be uneasy."

Mother Jia was startled when she heard the words, hesitated for a while, and asked: "This... from Nan'an's family, it's my old relative, Brother Heng, why don't I call you sick these days?"

In fact, it's really hard to see relatives sometimes, otherwise it's easier to be gossiped.

Danfeng's eyes under Sister Feng's Liu Ye eyebrows turned and she said with a smile: "Old Ancestor, don't, why don't people come to visit with gifts, and then talk about Brother Heng's ready-made words, besides, Old Ancestor didn't curse himself?"

When everyone heard this, they all had weird faces, secretly thinking, it's you, Feng Lazi, who are more considerate.

Jia's mother was originally dignified and worried, but she couldn't laugh or cry.

At this time, Tanchun answered, "Brother Heng, Mrs. Liu Jiatai came here today, and my ancestors responded, and the family didn't listen to her instigation."

When Jia Heng heard this, she glanced at Mother Jia in surprise.

Seeming to be a little embarrassed by this "admiration" surprised look, Jia Mu waved her hand, smiled and said: "What should I do? Ah, right and wrong, people have their faults, you can't be fooled casually."

Jia Heng nodded, and said: "It's good that the old lady knows it well. It's just some people who often come here to tell stories. Don't listen to their nonsense. As for the family... I don't need to say more."

As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Wang vaguely.

Mrs. Wang: "???"

Mrs. Wang's face froze, as if she had eaten flies. Now it's the season of spring and the flowers are blooming. Apricot... well, mosquitoes and flies have re-breeded.

Uncle Heng, what do you mean, say something, and take a look at me?Am I the gossip?

The master was about to be forced to resign by those people just now, and she was worried about it, and the imperial court didn't know what was going on with these fourth-rank orders, why hasn't the imperial edict come down yet?

Um, no, isn't this something that your uncle Heng is messing with outside?

At this time, Tanchun and other juniors took this scene into their eyes, and their expressions became strange, as if they hadn't seen it.

Dai Yu's starry eyes under her smoky eyebrows were shining brightly, looking at the young man, but she was a little worried.

Although I don't know what happened outside, but the impeachment of Zou Shu would not be as light as he said.

Baochai only glanced at Mrs. Wang, and then looked at the young man in the python suit, her moist and slightly almond eyes couldn't hide the eagerness.

Do you want to ask brother Heng later?It's okay to ask in the past.

Jia Heng nodded and said: "That's it. By the way, in a few days, King Wei canonize the concubine and hold a grand ceremony. It's interesting to say that this concubine is a girl from the Nan'an family."

In the end, there was a bit of banter, needless to say, the old hag was going to be a demon that day.

When Jia Mu heard the words, her complexion changed, and she asked: "That day, every family is ordered to enter the palace to watch the ceremony."

Jia Heng nodded, and said: "Almost, I guess invitations will be sent out in the next few days."

If Jinyi Mansion dispatched to Henan to investigate at the speed, I don't know if the wedding that day would be able to be held.

Suppressing some trivial thoughts, Jia Heng stopped hesitating and said: "Old lady, let's do this for today. Master and I will go to the study to talk."

With that said, he and Jia Zheng left Rongqingtang.

As soon as Jia Heng left, everyone in the Rongqing Hall started to discuss, discussing the candidate for Princess Wei or the grand ceremony for the canonization of the vassal prince and concubine, everyone was probably concerned about these, except Baoyu.

Jia Heng and Jia Zheng came to Mengpozhai's small study room, comforted Jia Zheng a few words, and then returned to Ningguo Mansion.

Ningguo Mansion, in the inner hall, behind the screen came the sound of mahjong rubbing.

"Husband is back?" Seeing Jia Heng coming back, Qin Keqing stepped aside and let Baozhu play mahjong instead. She approached, with concern in her beautiful eyes, and asked, "Husband, where is the old lady just now?"

Jia Heng shook his head and said, "Actually, it's nothing."

It will be briefly described.

When Qin Keqing heard the words, her face was covered with worry, and she asked in a worried tone: "Husband just said about the impeachment outside? Is it urgent?"

"Impeachment is not a problem. If Lord Yuezhang comes here and I'm not here, tell him not to worry too much about impeachment, and to work in the Ministry of Industry with peace of mind." Jia Heng held his wife's slender hand, and said softly: " Besides, I'm going to be in Beijing camp these few days, so you don't have to worry about it when you're at home."

Thinking appeared on Qin Keqing's jade face, she pursed her pink lips, hesitated to speak for a moment, and finally said softly: "It is good that your husband makes arrangements for the outside affairs."

She doesn't know much about these outside things, she only plays mahjong and dominoes in the back house, do you want to call Sister Xue to talk about it later?

Jia Heng smiled, feeling a little bit of loneliness in the girl's eyebrows, and said: "Keqing, I will explain it to you in the evening, and let our family Keqing give me some advice."

Qin Keqing was feeling lost, when she heard this, her beautiful and heavenly-scented lotus jade face blushed like a rosy cloud, and said softly, "Okay."

Talk about it at night, but I'm afraid that while talking, my husband and she will chatter with each other again.
