The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 221 Jia Zheng Returns to Beijing
[The second update is around two o'clock, and there will be two updates today, so I won't make up for it. 】

This open and secret fight ended in Jiao Shun's complete victory, but it also made him feel the danger of the officialdom again.

In terms of Jiao Shun's response this time, there was actually no problem, but he was still pushed into a corner by the other party.

It can be seen that in terms of these conspiracies and tricks, he is still a bit inferior to those old foxes in the officialdom.

But Jiao Shun's advantage is also obvious.

More than a hundred years of modern information may not be able to provide much help in intrigue, but it is enough to make him surpass most officials in the world in terms of overall situation and pioneering.

Because of this, he was able to come up with the new work-study policy in just half a year, and indirectly led to the peace talks between Xiawu—as for the Taizu’s quotations and so on, it was purely icing on the cake.

And if there is no preparation for the past half a year, how could the emperor start the mode of descending the gods for a mere seventh-rank official?
Of course, the trance mode refers to the sudden arrival of unknown forces without warning, but the emperor has long praised Jiao Shun's actions, and it was attracted by Jiao Shun's follow-up record. Is it suitable for trance? That being said, I'm afraid it's still up for debate.

…………

Flash forward to the second day of August.

From the mother of Jia down, all the prominent women from the East and West Mansions gathered in front of the gate of Neiyi, bustling with each other.

After a little steward came forward to report that Mr. Zheng's bicycle frame had passed the Dongjiekou, the old lady was even more excited and went straight out with a cane.

Mrs. Wang hastily dissuaded her, saying that the mother had already passed the reception at the Neiyi Gate, and if she went out to welcome her again, she might lose her son's life, so Mother Jia gave up resentfully, but still looked out on tiptoe.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law waited side by side, but it made Xing's face sour, holding a thin silk handkerchief to frown but lowering his heart, flirting back and forth non-stop.

Afterwards, Youshi, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng gathered together, talking to each other, but they were discussing about the old lady Ming'er's birthday. I will drive home day and night.

On both sides of them are Sanchun Bingchaidai, Xiuyan, Xiangyun and others.

Logically, Xing Xiuyan should be standing beside Yingchun, but at this time she is far away, only with the equally inconspicuous Xichun as company.

These girls are carefree, and the things they talk about are naturally complicated.

"Hey~"

Shi Xiangyun was the most outspoken. He nudged Tanchun who was beside him with his elbow, and asked curiously, "Did sister-in-law meet any happy event recently? Look at her bright face, she is much more lively."

"Maybe it's because of Lang Ge'er's academic success?"

Tan Chun absent-mindedly replied, but frequently looked at Aunt Zhao who was holding Jia Huan and standing beside her—this biological mother didn't know what she was thinking, she was posing with her hair full of pearls and emeralds, she looked more extravagant than his wife .

It really messed up the dignity!
He wanted to remind her to pay attention to her identity, but she didn't want to get too close to her in front of his wife.

Being in a dilemma, Xue Baochai seemed to have sensed what was on her mind, and beckoned to Jia Huan with a smile, "Brother Huan, what are you doing with us at this time, go to the front yard to greet her."

Aunt Zhao woke up like a dream, she hurriedly took her son aside, and told him to go to the corner gate to greet him quickly, and Jia Zheng must see him at the first sight after getting off the car.

When Jia Huan went reluctantly, Aunt Zhao turned around and was about to go back to the team, but she didn't want to be stopped by Tanchun, so she yelled at her head and face.

Aunt Zhao is also on fire right now, she dressed up for the sake of her solid pet, is there something wrong?

What's more, she didn't do it all for herself, but for the future of her two children. Tanchun only cared about the dignity and dignity, and never showed any consideration.

The more the mother and daughter talked, the more annoyed they became, but they were afraid of being overheard, so they could only lean closer and grit their teeth and mutter, if they didn't know, they might think it was because of the deep love between mother and daughter.

But she said that Shi Xiangyun and Xing Xiuyan got closer because of the absence of Tanchun, and because they were new acquaintances——Shi Xiangyun is not resident in Rongguo Mansion now, and he came here for Jia Mu’s birthday these two days—she was curious. Asked: "Sister Xing, you obviously live with the second sister, but you always get together with sister Xichun anyway."

What else could it be for?
Xing Xiuyan sighed secretly, after observing her words and demeanor these days, as well as the few words she heard from everywhere, she finally understood where the rejection of her by Yingchun's master and servant came from.

If she followed her heart, she would not want to play any drama of two daughters fighting for husband with Yingchun.

But my aunt was so focused on matching up the marriage, and because of Jiao Shun's promotion recently, she wished she could force her to press her head without drinking water, so how could she be allowed to back down half a step?
As for getting together with Xichun...

Now that Daiyu welcomes the spring, and Baochai explores the spring, the two sides don't say they are fighting secretly, at least they are clearly divided. Compared with them, Xichun, who was born in Dongfu and is still young, naturally becomes the only pure land.

Of course, Xing Xiuyan definitely couldn't say that on the surface.

She smiled slightly and said, "I used to play around in Taoist temples when I was a child, and I have been influenced a lot by female crowns. Unfortunately, sister Chun is also a talkative person, so I naturally lost my temper."

This statement is half true and half false, but Shi Xiangyun can't find fault with it.

At this moment, countless people rushed in, and the leader was Jia Zheng.

Surrounded by Jia Amnesty, Jia Baoyu, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and others, Jia Zheng was strolling in the courtyard and talking, when he saw his mother waiting in front of the gate of the ceremony, he hurried to get closer, knelt down and confessed his sins. :
"Sin, sin, how dare mother stay here for so long?!"

Mother Jia originally had a stomach full of words, but now she just leaned on the dragon's head and crutches, and said repeatedly: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

It wasn't until Jia Zheng helped him into the Rongxi Hall that he said the second sentence: "You have lost a lot by going here."

"Mother, don't worry."

Jia Zheng helped his mother to sit on the main seat, and said with a smile: "My son has less fat, and he is more energetic than before."

Originally, he wanted to sit on the upper right side - Jia She had already occupied the left side - but was held back by the old lady, so he had to ask the maid to move the chair, and sat next to his mother.

The mother and son chatted for a quarter of an hour, and even Wang Xifeng, who was standing by the side, could hardly intervene.

It wasn't until Jia's mother went to the back house to rest because of excessive excitement that Jia Zheng had some leisure time. While asking Jia She about the current situation of the family, he looked around at his nephews.

After a while, he suddenly frowned and asked, "Where is Brother Shun?"

Hearing that he was the first to ask about Jiao Shunlai, everyone had different expressions.

Jia Baoyu hurriedly got up and replied: "Brother Jiao was just promoted to an official yesterday, and he has been busy for the past two days without touching the ground. He really can't get out, so he asks his son to sue you, saying that he will come to the door in person when he comes back at night. .”

"Promotion?"

Jia Zheng was surprised and said: "He has been in the Ministry of Workers for less than a year, right? Then he was promoted again? But what position did he get promoted to?"

"So that the master will know."

Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "Brother Jiao has been promoted to the head of the Sixth Grade Department of Affairs."

"Head of the Department of Affairs?!"

Jia Zheng gasped when he heard the words. He has been an official in the Ministry of Industry for many years, how could he not know the importance of this position?
Thinking of the half-life I had wasted, and just being a fifth-rank idler, I had mixed feelings for a moment, and couldn't help but shook my head and said: "After all, he is young and has little qualifications. The head of the hall has an important job, but I'm afraid it will be a blessing or a misfortune."

"Master is worrying too much."

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he hurriedly told what had happened recently.

But he said that the investigation of the case lasted more than half a month, and the whole Ministry of Industry was turned upside down by the people who were investigated by Eunuch Dai, the chief inspector. At one time, more than [-] officials were involved, although in the end only Han Sheng, Hou Yun, Shen Chengzhuo and others had convincing evidence. Seven people, but it is enough to change the color of the Ministry of Industry.

Therefore, at the end of the month, when Chen Li was discussing that Jiao Shun should replace Han Sheng who had just fallen from the horse, officials at all levels were silent, not even a single voice of objection.

"Master Shen lost his position and dismissed?!"

It's okay for the others, but it's said that Shen Chengzhuo fell because of this, but Jia Zheng was shocked.

Once upon a time, these science officials were all the existences he yearned for, and the few times he offered to be friendly were ignored by others, who would have imagined that they would fall on Jiao Shun like this!
"What more!"

Jia Baoyu said again: "Chen Shishu of the Qi State Mansion has also suffered a death sentence, and he is still in prison and has not come out - now that the master is back, the Chen family may come to ask for help."

hiss~
Hearing that Chen Yongpeng was also imprisoned because of this, Jia Zheng's jealousy disappeared immediately.

Immediately, he quickly ordered to prepare a banquet, preparing to celebrate Jiao Shun's prosperity in person at night.

He specially ordered Jia Lian and Baoyu to accompany him.

Such an arrangement made everyone pay more attention.

Jia Amnesty was even more disdainful and said: "He is a slave no matter what..."

"Brother be careful!"

Jia Zheng hastily interrupted him.

"Humph~"

Jia She snorted, ignored Jiao Shun's background, and continued: "No matter what, he is only a sixth rank, why are you making such a fuss?!"

"Brother doesn't know something."

Jia Zheng shook his head and said: "The head of the government affairs office is not comparable to the general six ranks, but he can be called the chief executive of the Ministry of Industry. In terms of status, he is almost on par with the doctor in charge, and in terms of power, it is even greater! "

After a pause, he sighed again: "However, what is even more enviable is His Majesty's favor."

As soon as these words came out, it was hard for Jia Amnesty to refute. After all, Rongguo Mansion's greatest support right now was His Majesty's favor for Jia Yuanchun.
