I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 168
The news that Yan Maoqing conveyed through the [-]-li rush was like a mud cow falling into the sea, and did not cause any waves in the court, but the news that Xu Jie was rewarded by His Majesty spread in the court.

"Have you heard? Your Majesty missed the cabinet meeting in order to reward Elder Xu Ge!"

"I heard that, it is said that His Majesty's rewards to Elder Xu Ge were selected from his own money."

"Ah, really? Elder Xu Ge can be treated so favorably by His Majesty!"

"If you also want to be rewarded, you might as well do something practical for His Majesty like Xu Ge did! Maybe you will be the next person to be rewarded by His Majesty."

"Come on, we still have a boss to deal with."

……

After the end of the day, Yan Song and Yan Shifan, father and son, went back to Yan's mansion in sedan chairs.

But today, the number of people gathered outside the gate of Yan's mansion was obviously much less. Yan Shifan secretly opened the car curtain, checked the situation, and said through gritted teeth.

"These bastards are stalking!"

Usually, Yan Shifan only felt that the guys gathered at his door were very annoying!

But now, more than half of the people gathered in front of his house, but Yan Shifan did not gain any happiness from it, but began to miss the grand occasion near the door of his house in the past.

According to the usual practice, the sedan chair of the father and son entered Yan's mansion through the side door.

Yan Shifan took the first step, got off the sedan chair, and then came to his father Yan Song's sedan chair and waited respectfully.

"Father."

Seeing Yan Song getting off the sedan chair, Yan Shifan hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"What's the matter, look at your aggrieved look?"

Yan Song glanced at Yan Shifan, and then asked.

"Father, it's like this. When the child's sedan chair passed by the door, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the situation outside. Those people at the door..."

"Just because of this?"

Yan Song was quite speechless after hearing Yan Shifan's reasons.

"You useless thing! You just encountered a little setback, then lost confidence and hesitated. With your virtue, you still want His Majesty to entrust you with important tasks in the future?"

After getting Yan Shifan's affirmation, Yan Song flew into a rage, pointed at Yan Shifan's nose and cursed.

"How many times do I have to tell you that the group of people outside, no matter how many people there are, no matter how high their official positions are, they are just a mob! They can't be our help at all, or they will hold us back."

"Since ancient times, only those who are not frightened by favor or humiliation, and who are not chaotic in times of crisis, can achieve great things!"

"But you are angry because of a group of mobs who follow the trend and follow the trend, Yan Shifan, I am really disappointed in you!"

After Yan Song finished speaking, he shook off Yan Shifan's hand and walked straight into the study.

"Father, I know my mistake! I just can't figure it out for a while."

Seeing this, Yan Shifan quickly followed Yan Song's footsteps, then knelt down in front of Yan Song's only way, and explained to him.

Yan Song stopped, looked his son up and down, his face was full of inexplicable expressions.

After a long time, he sighed and said helplessly.

"Oh, come with me."

Yan Shifan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hastily and respectfully helped Yan Song into the study.

"Father, what should we do next?"

"Relying on this matter, Xu Jie gained a lot of favor from His Majesty, and His Majesty's image of him is also gradually improving."

Yan Shifan asked after picking up the teapot on the table and pouring Yan Song a cup of hot tea.

"It's okay, we shouldn't care about the gains and losses of "one city, one place"! We should take a longer-term view. The most important thing for us right now is to concentrate on doing the work at hand, that is, turning rice into mulberry."

Yan Song took the hot tea and took a sip before slowly responding.

"Besides, I have a strong hunch that there must be something complicated behind it."

"What is the basis for father's words?"

"No, it's just a feeling."

Yan Song just shook his head slightly and said.

……

Today's Xu Jie can be said to be extremely busy, after he finished the greetings from his subordinates, he hurried back to his home.

When he was less than two streets away from his home, Xu Jie lifted the sedan chair curtain and saw that the door of his house was crowded with visiting officials of all levels.

Seeing this, Xu Jie frowned, and said to himself silently: "What's going on? Why are there so many people gathered in front of my house?"

"Turn around and go through the side door."

Seeing this, Xu Jie ordered so.

"Yes, my lord!"

Just as Xu Jie's sedan chair was slowly turning around, it was spotted by sharp-eyed people in the crowd.

"Look quickly, is that old Xu Ge's sedan chair?"

"I've seen Xu Ge's sedan chair from afar, and it seems to be exactly the same in terms of style and color."

"What does it look like? This is obviously the sedan chair that Xu Ge is riding on!"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd who had gathered at the door of Xu Jie's house before quickly surrounded the sedan chair Xu Jie was riding in.

"Old Xu Ge, I'm here to congratulate you when I get the news!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xu Ge, you are now in the royal family, really gratifying!"

"We should also learn more from Mr. Xu Ge, and we should be down-to-earth and work hard."

……

Xu Jie got impatient with the group of people arguing, so he had no choice but to get out of the sedan chair and use all his strength to send them away.

Xu Jie has gone through untold hardships and just returned home!
Xu Jie sat slumped on the chair, drank the tea in the cup, and called the housekeeper.

"Let's just say that I'm sick and I don't see anyone!"

"Yes, Mr. Ge."

After the butler took the order, he left quickly.

Xu Jie then opened the brocade box, took out a pair of jade-like blue porcelain vases, and played with them carefully.

"This is a reward from His Majesty, where should I put it?"

"Why don't you find a place to offer it up!"

Xu Jie thought for a long time, and finally thought of where to put the pair of jade-like blue porcelain vases.

He decided to enshrine the pair of porcelain vases in a conspicuous place in the hall, so that whenever a visitor comes, he can see them by raising his head slightly.

In this way, he can also show his favor to His Majesty in a disguised form.

……

At night, the Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After Jiajing absorbed the last ray of spiritual energy surrounding his body, he quit the cultivation state, slowly opened his eyes, and got up from the futon.

A moment later, Lu Fang's voice came from outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation: "I would like to report to Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

"Well, come in!"

Jiajing nodded, then sat on the dragon chair and motioned for Lu Fang to come in.

After Lu Fang entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she respectfully knelt down on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, according to your previous instructions, the fact that you rewarded Elder Xu Jie and Xu Ge has already spread among civil and military officials. !"

"Oh, how did it work?"

Jiajing rubbed the dragon head carved on the dragon chair and asked with interest.

"Your Majesty, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are talking about this matter! In addition, according to what I heard from the servants..."

Lu Fang paused for a moment while speaking.

"What did you hear? Don't fool me!"

Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang and asked.

"My servant heard that many officials who came to visit gathered in front of Elder Xu Ge's mansion! Because of this, even Elder Xu Ge's sedan chair was blocked on the road."

"Oh, what does Xu Ge always do?"

"His Majesty, Mr. Xu Ge said that he is in poor health, so he closed the door temporarily to thank the guests."

Seeing Jiajing's question, Lu Fang quickly replied respectfully.

"Well, I see, you go down."

"The slaves obey."
