My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 64

Looking at the trembling people in Ning Rong's Second Mansion, Dai Quan felt quite puzzled.

Are all these people full of nonsense?I don’t even understand the principle of hiding from each other.

Don’t you understand your own virtues?Today, the only person in Ning Rong's second house still serving in the court is Jia Zheng, the head of the Ministry of Industry.

However, he spent nearly twenty years in the Ministry of Industry, and gained the reputation of being ignorant of the world, doing nothing but bowing and bowing, and sitting around all day long, like a clay sculpture.

Some colleagues even secretly laughed at him for being too prudish and only immersed in the flattery of a bunch of purges.

If it weren't for the protection of the ancestral legacy, Ningrong's second mansion would have been taken care of long ago.

Now, it's hard to find talents among the tribe, so it's okay if they don't win over them, but they even go so far as to impeach them.

Could this family have drank too much and become confused?
However, this matter had nothing to do with him. He looked at Jia Mu with a business-like face: "Old lady, have you heard His Majesty's decree?

You are the highest-ranking first-class official in Ningrong's second house. Jia Zhen and Jia She have become like this. If a strict investigation is carried out, you will also be blamed for lax discipline. "

"My wife is foolish, she must be strictly supervised and disciplined so as not to make the same mistake again."

At this time, Jia Mu no longer looked as calm as she used to when facing her juniors. Big beads of sweat kept falling from her forehead, and her hand on crutches kept shaking.

Faced with the warning from the imperial power, Jia Mu was afraid.

Dai Quan said intriguingly: "The old lady is wise and wise, and even though she is stupid and vulgar, she will not complain with annoying words. You can only do it for your own sake."

In this way, our family will say goodbye. "

After that, Dai Quan turned and left, leaving only a group of Jia family members standing in the cold wind.

"Quick...Lin Zhixiao..."

Without Jia Mu's instructions, Lin Zhixiao took the banknotes he had prepared and hurried out, while Yuanyang also hurried over to help Jia Mu.

After calming down, Jia Mu glanced at Jia She and Jia Zhen and said, "You all come with me."

After Jia Mu finished speaking, she turned around and came to Rongqing Hall.

Arriving at the flower hall, Jia Mu sat down.

Looking at Jia Zhen and Jia She who were sitting on both sides, they said coldly: "Speaking of which, what are you going to do about this matter?"

Jia Zhen said dejectedly: "What else can we do? We have done something wrong in this matter. We originally thought that if we work together with a few prominent officials to impeach Jia Yu, even if he is not dismissed and investigated, he will be punished by His Majesty. I never thought that we would be reprimanded by His Majesty instead." ”

Jia She also frowned and said, "It seems that Jia Yu's weight in His Majesty's heart is heavier than we thought."

The three people with the highest status and power in Ningrong's second house were now in a dilemma.

The warning from Emperor Changping made them understand that if they continued to target Jia Yu, what awaited them would be more than just a reprimand.

Jia She hesitated for a moment and said: "Mother, how about... we find someone to subdue that kid?

Everyone is from the same clan, so he won't continue to hold on to this matter, right? "

Jia Mu closed her eyes, feeling extremely tired.

Jia Zhen was smarter this time, "I thought Uncle Pardon's words were inappropriate. Everyone saw Jia Yu's cruelty last time.

Three men from the family named Yu were beaten to death and two injured just because they offended him. Now we are impeaching him at all costs. Is this a matter that can be settled just by giving in? "

"Brother Zhen, what do you think we should do?" Jia She, who objected to Jia Zhen's words, was not angry and asked instead.Jia Zhen actually couldn't think of any good idea, so she hesitated and said, "Well... how about we collect some money and ask Brother Lian to send it to him as an apology?"

"Then how much silver should I give?" Jia She said with some distress: "If it's one or two hundred taels of silver, that's fine, but if it's more, I won't have it."

"What a bastard!"

Jia Mu was beside her, feeling very angry in her heart.

My eldest son is not only greedy for money and lustful, but also has no sense of responsibility in doing things. Once he is asked to provide some money, he will keep asking for money. He really has no sense of responsibility as a man.

She closed her eyes, pondered for a while and then sighed, "That's all, don't worry about this matter, I'll make the arrangements."

A few days later, Xicheng

In the Cheer Hutong next to the Huguo Temple not far from Ningrong Street, Jia Yu, dressed in regular clothes, was greeting his subordinates and colleagues such as Feng Ziying, Wu Yunchun, Xie Youyuan, An Cunliang, Wang Changyou and others with a smile on his face.

The house that Jia Yu asked Feng Ziying to find has been found. After completing the formalities, today is the day to move into the new house.

Originally, Jia Yu didn't plan to entertain too many people. He thought that he would just treat three or two people to a meal. He never thought that Wu Yunchun, Xie Youyuan and other subordinates would quit after finding out.

After a group of people discussed it, they planned to make Jia Yu lively.

Officers from more than [-] households in the Dongcheng Army and Horse Department, Feng Ziying and some officers from the Selected Front Battalion all came to join in the fun.

Feng Ziying even volunteered to bring in the cooks and servants from General Shenwu's Mansion to help. At one time, nearly a hundred people crowded the huge Sanjin courtyard.

Of course, although it is a treat, the guests are also divided into different grades.

Deputy commanders such as Feng Ziying and Wu Yunchun or officials above sentry level were in the backyard, while officials such as deputy [-]-year-olds, [-]-year-olds, and team officers could only sit in the front and middle courtyards.

Don't think this is discrimination against lower-level officials.

China has been a nation that values ​​superiority and inferiority since ancient times. This is revealed all the time in terms of food, clothing, housing, transportation and etiquette.

This is also deeply integrated into everyone's genes.

You are a ninth-grade official, but you are sitting with a group of sixth-grade officials. Not only will you feel uncomfortable, but so will everyone else present.

Therefore, whether you are a person or an official, the most important thing is to find your own position, and do not overstep it unless necessary.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Xie Youyuan looked around and praised:

"The commander must be discerning. He can even buy such a good courtyard. I think such a spacious three-entry courtyard will cost a lot of money, right?"

Jia Yu put down her chopsticks, picked up the cup and took a sip of wine, then smiled and said: "Why... you want it too?

It's easy to say that my yard was built for me by brother Ziying. If you want, you can ask him for help. "

Feng Ziying nodded: "No problem, I happen to have a friend named Ni Er, nicknamed Jin Jingang. This person knows many people from various religions and schools.

Just contact him for things like house hunting, and he's guaranteed to help you get it right. "

"Vajra?" Jia Yu thought about it for a moment and felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

Xie Youyuan asked curiously: "How much money does it cost to buy this house?"

Feng Ziying smiled slightly and extended an index finger.
