Red Mansion Jia Enhou

Chapter 78 Meeting with the Minister of Household Affairs (please subscribe!)
  When Jia She and Jia Jing got off the carriage, they didn't want to be so grand.

But there is no way, who makes them owe too much money.

At this time, the news about Jia She and Jia Jinglai repaying the money quickly spread throughout the household department.

Wai Lang, the enemy member who specializes in this area, came to pick him up personally.

Seeing Jia She and Jia Jing standing there, the beheaded Yuan Wailang, who had two small mustaches, looked like he was stepping on cotton. He held up his clothes and walked quickly towards Jia She and Jia Jing, excited. Almost fell.

This is not a debtor, this is his biological father!

Jia She and Jia Jing were startled and quickly tried to make excuses for this unreliable Yuanwailang.

"Your Majesty Cui Jin has seen respecting the elderly and pardoning the general!"

A foreign minister named Cui Jin saluted Jia She and Jia Jing.

Jia She helped Cui Jin up and said with a smile, "Master Cui is so polite."

"You're being polite, General. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"Your Majesty has just excused himself from the morning court, and nothing has been prepared yet. Are the general and Duke Jing in the mood to go into the ministry and wait for a while?"

"Master Shangshu is here right now. If you want, you can go and have a cup of tea with Master Shangshu. After waiting for a while, I will handle and check the money owed by the general as soon as possible."

Jia She's heart was already filled with joy.

This feeling is great, and it just so happens that he wants to meet the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

Jia She and Jia Jing looked at each other, but there was no change in the expression on Jia Jing's face.

Jia She spoke.

"Brother, would you like to sit in the household department?"

Jia Jing glanced at Jia She and saw Jia She's desire.

"Let's go!"

Jia Jing nodded in agreement, and then Jia She glanced at Jia Lian in the carriage and asked Jia Lian to stay obediently and follow Lin Ruhai to learn about the ways of the world.

Jia She and Jia Jing were led inside.

Jia Jing now particularly wants to know what kind of medicine Jia She is selling in his gourd.

They came from a family of martial arts and had no friendship with these civil servants, especially the Minister of Household Affairs.

If he remembered correctly, this was a parallel importer who had just come up. As for his previous experience, he had been a prefect in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and was promoted to Beijing six years ago.

Later, he became the current Minister of Household Affairs.

And to use a bad word, this is a target that is thrown away at will.

Why is he said to be a casual target? This is because of the conflict between the emperor and the old nobles and the court owes money.

If the honor is not returned, the emperor will always remember it in his heart. But he just can't deal with these honors. Who will he take out his temper on in the end?

They must not be nobles, because the emperor cannot deal with them.

In the end, the anger could only be shouldered by the Minister of Hubu, and if the nobles were more powerful than the emperor, the Minister of Hubu would be the best scapegoat.

The officials in the court saw this clearly, so they allowed a newly promoted Daotouqing to sit in this official position.

And as expected, there must be no one behind this Minister of Household Affairs. If there was someone, he would not be plotted like this.

Jia She and Jia Jing walked into the household department.

At this time, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, who had been scalded by the water, was sitting happily.

He can finally make an explanation to the emperor. If no one pays him back, he may lose his official position.

The Minister of Revenue, who was aware of his problem, looked at the door expectantly.

When he was a governor in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he had contact with the Jia family of Jinling.

I wonder if the Shenjing Jia family will be like the Jinling Jia family. Thinking of this, the Minister of Hubu became a little nervous.

If it is someone who looks down upon others like the Jinling Jia family, it will be over.

My family knows my own affairs, so I am a target being pushed forward, and I am nothing.

Seeing the worry of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance comforted the Minister of the Ministry of Finance who was younger than him.

"Don't be afraid, sir. The people in Rongning and Ning Mansion are really terrible people."

"When you meet them, you just need to communicate normally. If they ask for something, as long as it's not too much, you can just agree."

The Minister of Hubu reminded the Minister of Hubu. This minister is the minister of the household department who should really be in charge.

It was only because he saw clearly the competing interests of the imperial court that he did not take up the position after the previous Minister of Household Affairs was dismissed.

And now, although he is not in charge, he has the final say in the entire household department.

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who was clearly aware of his status, cupped his fists and saluted the minister.

"Thank you, Mr. Pei, for the tip."

The minister of household affairs, who was called Mr. Pei, nodded, and Jia She and Jia Jing opened the door and walked in.

Seeing Jia She and Jia Jing, the Minister of Hubu stood up from his seat.

Jia She and Jia Jing calmly bowed to the minister of household affairs who was about the same age in front of them.

"I've met Lord Shangshu!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance returned the gift.

"Pardon the general and be polite to the elderly."

The three of them straightened up, and Jia She and Jia Jing noticed Pei Lao Pei Mian, the real helmsman of the household department, sitting on the side.

Jia She and Jia Jing quickly saluted him.

"I've met Mr. Pei!"

He is considered the elder of Jia She and Jia Jing, especially Jia Jing.

The Pei Mian in front of him was his boss in the Hanlin Academy. This old Pei had already taken the position of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

The next step is to either join the cabinet or become a minister of the six departments.

I didn't expect that he would condescend to be a minister of household affairs.

Jia She and Jia Jing were confused, and a smile appeared on Pei Mian's face.

"Everyone, get up, you are so polite!"

"Now I am just a servant, and I may not be as good as you in terms of rank. You guys saluting me are really trying to kill me."

Jia She and Jia Jing quickly bowed humbly again.

"My brother and I don't dare to take the big shot. As far as you are concerned, we are just juniors."

The Minister of Hubu looked envious. This position should have belonged to him, the Minister of Hubu.

But envy is envy, it is still necessary to recognize reality clearly.

Pei Mian continued to chat with Jia She and Jia Jing, during which time he asked about Jia Jing's current situation.

After all, he is an old boss, and he still cares about his past subordinates.

Jia Jing gave a wry smile.

"Jing is out at home now, everything is fine!"

Jia Jing said he felt guilty, is that really okay?
  This was unknown and at the same time, Pei Mian felt a sense of sadness. The most dazzling star of the year had fallen.

Pei Mian, who lost his emotions to speak, left time and space to the young people.

Jia She Jia Jing chatted with the Hubu Shangshu in front of him. During this period, the Hubu Shangshu mentioned the Jia family in Jinling many times.

But three thousand miles apart, they had been separated from the Jinling Jia family for a long time. Even if they were connected, by their generation, they were no longer related by blood or kinship.

Therefore, neither Jia Jing nor Jia She was that interested.

The Minister of Revenue began to urgently change the topic.

"I heard that Ruhai is General She's brother-in-law?"

A glint flashed in Jia She's eyes, and then he nodded.

Knowing that he had reached the point, Shangshu Hube continued to speak.

"It's a coincidence that Ruhai and I are of the same age. Brother Ruhai is a righteous man. I admire his ability very much."

"Yangzhou is just a puddle of mud. It's really amazing that he can make political achievements in the mud!"
