Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 47
what's the situation?Could it be that the father is dead.

Jia Rong's first thought.

"Father, is something wrong?"

"That's not true, it's just that the Jia family has reserved a hand in advance, and your second uncle Jia Lian will also go to the Beijing camp to take up a post."

"Second uncle is going too? Jingying."

"Well, you're much better than him. I'll arrange for you to serve as the third-class Dragon Forbidden Captain in Ouchi. He's going to lead the army. If there is a battle, the infantry captain will be in great danger."

Jia Rong was very reluctant to be a captain of the Forbidden Dragon, but she felt much more at ease when she heard that her second uncle Jia Lian was worse than herself.

"Father, it's just me and Uncle Lian, there's no one else?"

"What are you thinking? You thought the Beijing camp belonged to the Jia family, and it took a lot of favors to arrange you two. Are the others worthy?"

Jia Zhen also made the words clear, don't even think about it if it's not her own, let alone mention it if it's not good.

"Okay, listen to father,"

"Father, this leader is much more dangerous. Can Second Uncle Lian agree?"

Jia Zhen didn't answer, but with a mysterious smile on her face, Jia Rong knew that Uncle Lian hadn't run away, and it was our uncle and nephew in the end.

"Go ahead and drink. You must not drink alcohol when you are on duty in the future. Besides, it won't take long to prepare for the next few days."

"Yes, father."

Jia Zhen went out after explaining, and paused at the door,
"Everything is careful."

It was the first time for Jia Rong to see Jia Zhen treat her with a pleasant face, and she was not happy.

By the evening of the second day,
Jia Zhen took the time to pass a sign to Da Nei Xiao Huang Men, begging to see the inner minister Dai Quan.

Coincidentally, because of the renovation of the Hou Mansion, Dai Quan was planning to arrange a person in the Ministry of Industry to take charge of the matter, so he thought of the Jia family. It happened that the emperor was still thinking about Jia Zheng, so Dai Quan thought of arranging something for Jia Zheng to do. , after the new year, take this opportunity to move up a seat.

Unexpectedly, the Rongguo Mansion did not come, but the Ningguo Mansion did. Cheng, the same thing, agreed to discuss in the house outside the capital.

Speaking of this outer house, it was the eunuch's home in the capital. Married wives and servants were all good, and nobles were used to it. Dai Quan even used this place to sell nobles and officials to collect huge wealth.

After receiving the letter, Jia Zhen came to Dai's mansion with a gift, and saw the little yellow gate waiting at the gate from afar, Jia Zhen hurried up to the little yellow gate and stuffed the broken silver in her hand.

"I'm sorry for the long wait, little eunuch."

The little eunuch shook his hands, and then replied with a smile on his face;
"Soon, soon, the ancestors have set up a banquet to wait for the general, please."

Jia Zhen followed the little eunuch into the house, walked through the winding corridors, and finally arrived at the main house. Jia Zhen straightened her clothes in front of the door, and then opened the door and entered.

As soon as you enter the room, you will be greeted by all kinds of luxurious and magnificent decorations. After walking a few steps inside, you will see that the banquet has already been set up in the center of the room, and Dai Quan is also sitting at the head seat. Jia Zhen hurried over apology;
"Internal Prime Minister, forgive me for making you wait so long."

"It's not too late, it's not too late, come and sit down, let me have a drink."

"Thank you Neixiang,"

Jia Zhen hurriedly got up and poured Dai Quan a glass of wine, and filled it up for herself after walking around;
"Inner Minister, I'd like to trouble you to go out of the palace, Jia Zhen is really guilty, this cup should be served first as a respect."

Jia Zhen raised her head and drank it all in one gulp, then filled herself another glass, and was stopped by Dai Quan when she wanted to drink.

"What are you doing? It's all old. There's no need. Sit down and eat."

"Thank you, Neixiang."

The two moved their chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls.

Dai Quan asked;
"Brother Zhen, where did you come from? What can you do if you come to me? What happened in Ningguo Mansion recently? What happened in the mansion?"

How dare Jia Zhen admit it, she can't say anything,

"Neixiang, you misunderstood me. I want to give my ineffective son Jia Rong a certain position, so that he can calm down and find a wife after he settles down."

Dai Quan really didn't expect this to happen, but it was also strange, isn't it easy to arrange someone with the power of the Jia family in the Beijing camp, why did he come to him.

"What's the point? You can't arrange a job in Ningguo Mansion? This Beijing camp doesn't belong to your Jia family."

Jia Zhen turned pale when she heard this, and waved her hands in fright;

"Don't be joking, the inner minister. This one belongs to the emperor. I'm just an idle general. Besides, this Jiedu envoy is from the Wang family. Our Ningguo Mansion is not his in-laws."

Dai Quan suddenly understood in his heart that the Ningrong and Rongfu were not so united, and they were separated a long time ago, and besides, the two brothers were almost at the fifth server.

"Okay, tell me, how do you want to arrange it?"

Jia Zhen was in a bit of a dilemma. This Captain Long didn't know if there was any quota left. If he didn't, he could only become an ordinary guard.

"Internal Prime Minister, do you still have a seat for the Forbidden Captain of the Great Inner Dragon?"

"Good boy, you just want a good position when you come up, why don't you go to the Beijing camp."

"Inner Prime Minister, you also know that the Ningguo Mansion is a single pass, and the outside is not peaceful. That kid has no skills. What if there is a good or bad Ningguo Mansion."

"Well, it's true, a sword has no eyes."

"Xie Neixiang understands. In this way, Jia Zhen is toasting you."

After finishing speaking, Jia Zhen drained the wine in her hand to the end.

Seeing that Jia Zhen really wanted to arrange a future for his son, Dai Quan motioned for Jia Zhen to sit down.
"Okay, I know your sincerity. Wait a minute. Let me think about it. It just so happens that there is a good thing. Now there are two short captains of the [-]-member Long Jinwei."

When Dai Quan said this, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Jia Zhen didn't know the hint, and took out 2000 taels of silver notes from her sleeve and put them on the table.

Dai Quan didn't take it and said;

"Yesterday, the brother of the Marquis of Xiangyang in the south also came to beg me, and also wanted to make a future for his son. Now he took 8000 taels of silver and sent it to my home."

"You know, we and the nobles in Beijing are old acquaintances, no matter what, looking at his grandfather, I didn't hesitate to respond indiscriminately, and then I took another five thousand taels here. If you give me the banknote, I will reluctantly accept it."

"There is one shortage left, and I don't know who revealed the news, but I don't know that the Yongxing Jiedu envoy, Fatty Feng, also came to beg and wanted to donate one to his child, so I didn't have time to answer him, and I didn't care how much I weighed. Two. Since Brother Zhen of Ningguo Mansion wants it, then it is Brother Zhen’s, bring Jia Rong’s resume, and I will do it.”

When Jia Zhen heard that, she immediately took out Jia Rong's resume from her sleeve, and attached 1 taels of banknotes. Although there were not as many relatives as the Hou of Xiangyang, Dai Quan didn't care, so she directly included the banknotes and Jia Rong's resume. In their arms, both of them were in a good mood, and they added a few more dishes and started to eat.

"Brother Zhen, do you know the situation in Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Zhen was a little stunned when she heard this, and paused with the chopsticks in her hand, Dai Quan also smiled when she saw Jia Zhen's reaction;
"What, surprised?"

"That's not true. Why did Neixiang think of asking about the Rongguo Mansion? Although I belong to the Jia family, I'm from the two mansions after all. There are some things I don't know."

"Oh, I see."

"Yes, Inner Phase."

"It's okay, but you always go to Rongxi Hall when you have nothing to do, don't you understand?"

Dai Quan directly pointed out the whereabouts of Jia Zhen's next court, and the Secretary of the Imperial City is not just for nothing.

When Jia Zhen heard this, cold sweat broke out on her back. She knew that Dai Quan, who was in charge of the Department of Imperial City, knew the whereabouts of most of the officials, especially the many eyeliners in the Xungui Mansion.

"It's obvious to me, the old lady was brought by the elder of the Rongguo Mansion when I went to see the old lady a few times. How dare I, a junior, refuse to do so? I dare not."

Dai Quan thought for a while, that's true, not to mention the old lady Shi of Rongguo Mansion, he didn't dare to be disrespectful, Jia Zhen really couldn't object to Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's words,
"Okay, that's all I'm asking, look at you, come and have a drink."

Only then did Jia Zhen heave a sigh of relief, she picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, which was a shock to herself.

"Neixiang, what's the matter with you?"

"Well, yes, I need the help of Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Zhen also felt that she had misheard, and asked Jia Zheng to help. The second uncle is too pedantic, no, I have to ask what is wrong.

"Neixiang, why do you need my second uncle to help with this matter? He's just taking a part-time job in the Ministry of Industry. Why don't you let me help Neixiang?"

"You, as long as you have this heart, you really can't help with this matter,"

Dai Quan was a little funny, and said that the Jia family had no contact, so he jumped out immediately, but you really can't help with this matter.

"Neixiang, just tell me, it can't help, second uncle, unless it's writing articles and poems, Neixiang, you won't really let my second uncle write poems and articles, right?"

Jia Zhen was a little dumbfounded, and this really didn't help.
