Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 12 God Operator Jia
On the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, although it is almost the twelfth lunar month, there is no shortage of boats here, and it has become more lively than usual.

Probably they all want to make a few more trips before the northern section of the canal freezes.

Merchants stock up on more goods, so that they can be sold at a high price in winter, and the court wants to store supplies for the winter in Beizhili and even the capital. Therefore, it is safe on the canal at this moment, and there is no need to worry about strongmen in the water.

It has been a few days since the boat of Jia's mansion left Yangzhou, with Qi Sixian's careful company and several people on the boat taking turns to relieve her, Daiyu has gradually come out of the sadness of parting at this moment.

At this moment, Daiyu and her maid Xueyan are pestering Jia Ying to tell him stories.

These days, in order to make Daiyu happy, Jia Ying racked her brains and recalled some classic stories from another life, which made the three girls on the boat listen as if they were fresh. No, even Qi Sixian, who has always been prudent, also Help me out.

"Sister Yu'er, it's really gone. You have cleaned out the only bit of ink in Brother Wei's stomach." Jia Ying was a little bit dumbfounded.

But Daiyu pestered her, and Jia Ying also wondered, you said Daiyu is a little girl, she just likes to hear some love stories, the problem is, some love stories are really not suitable for Daiyu to tell, don't worry about Cao Daiyu's voice is beautiful and her talent is outstanding, but she is a little girl of eleven or twelve years old at this time.

"Jia Ying, Jia Ying! You can't poison minors!"

For a moment, Jia Ying's complexion became sad.

Jia Yucun, these few days have not been very comfortable, and he doesn't know what's going on.

In the past, with his personality, the best thing was to have fun in hardship. Even when he was dismissed and demoted, he could maintain a good attitude and express his love for landscapes.

But now, it seems that he is about to climb a big tree, repeat his old job, and maybe even go a step further. Speaking of which, he should be complacent, but why can't he be happy?
It seems that this kind of mentality started from getting to know this Second Master Jia.

"Well, that's it, no wonder I always feel uncomfortable on the boat, and my back is chilly all day long."

Jia Yucun only felt that he had found the reason, and thought: "Jia Ying is an upright Jia family after all, my relationship with him should not be born of discord, we should find a way to get closer."

Yucun is also a person who does what he says, so he immediately went looking for Jia Ying.

When Jia Ying and the others saw Yucun approaching, they did not avoid it.

After all, Daiyu is a student of Yu Village, and Qi Sixian is temporarily relying on Jia Ying to live, and they are both on the same boat, so it doesn't matter whether they avoid suspicion or not.

"Greetings, sir." Dai Yu was polite and polite, and greeted first.

Qi Sixian also gave a blessing to one side to show that he had seen it.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Seeing Jia Ying pampering Daiyu so much, Jia Yucun dared to trust her, and turned to Jia Ying with a smile on his face, "Second Lord is free today."

Jia Ying nodded and said, "I feel bored after studying books all day long, so why don't I talk about interesting things with my sister."

Yucun answered, "Oh? What are we talking about? I just happen to be bored today, so I might as well join in the fun."

Daiyu interrupted: "Sir, the story told by the second elder brother is very interesting, but he doesn't want to share it with us."

After all, he pouted.

Jia Ying thought that Yucun was also here, and for a while, she became thoughtful again, Xie Mei smiled and joked: "What else do you want to hear, I have some stories here, I'm afraid you won't like to hear them."

"What story? What story? Let me tell you first." Daiyu couldn't wait, and Qi Sixian also looked over.

Just listen to Jia Ying say: "Mr. Dong Guo and the wolf, the farmer and the snake, Lu Dongbin and the dog, Cao Mengde and Lu Boshe, Hao Jian and the old lady. Well, forget the last one."

The second daughter's face was full of disappointment, and Daiyu said dissatisfiedly, "What else is it! I have heard these stories in the early years, and they are not very interesting. What is the story of Hao Jian and the old lady, why forget it?"

Jia Ying meant something, and didn't care about Daiyu's dissatisfaction.

On the other hand, Jia Yucun was struck by the thunder, his face was embarrassed, and he thought: "What's so interesting about the enlightenment stories told to children like this? And why does Second Master Jia talk about such ungrateful and snake-hearted stories?"

Jia Yucun always felt that it meant something.

In fact, Jia Ying also meant exactly this.These days, he is also worried.

There is only one thing to worry about, and that is: "How to treat Mr. Yucun."

Ignore him, indifferent to him?
Or did he make a stumbling block when he arrived in the capital so that he could not see Jia Zheng?

But there is Lin Ruhai's face in it, so it's hard to refute.

Jia Ying even thought about whether he should invite him to drink some wine, and create an accident where he accidentally fell into the water and could not be rescued in time.

But in the end he was rejected by himself.

First of all, Yucun is Daiyu's teacher after all, so it would be bad for her to be in front of Daiyu.Furthermore, he couldn't indulge his mood too much. He didn't know that Wang Xifeng was too unscrupulous, which put a fatal straw on the Jia family's downfall.

The wind starts at the end of Qingping, everything happens once, there will be a second time, Jia Ying must restrain herself.

Jia Ying shook her head, and said to the two women: "Okay, okay, let's stop here today, Mr. Yucun and I have something to talk about."

Only then did Daiyu and Qi Sixian go back to the cabin.

Here, Jia Ying and Yucun stand side by side on the deck, enjoying the scenery on both sides of the canal together.

The two were silent for a while, and Jia Ying said, "Mr. Yucun, what do you think about this trip to Beijing?"

Jia Yucun was secretly excited and said, "Here we come!"

On the face, he still maintained an expression of flattery and humiliation, and said: "Yu Village is already very grateful to be able to return to the official position. How dare you have any other extravagant demands. Everything depends on the arrangement of the master of your government."

Jia Ying's heart moved, thinking of something, he pretended to be deep and said: "Mr. Yucun, your ancestral home is in the south, right?"

Yucun didn't know what he meant by mentioning his ancestral home, so he replied immediately: "Yucun was originally from Huzhou, Zhejiang."

Jia Ying stared at Jia Yucun for a long time, until Jia Yucun felt a little nervous, and then said leisurely: "I think Mr. Yucun's trip is probably beneficial to the southeast."

Jia Yucun wondered: "Could it be that this second master still has the ability to cut his career straight?"

He said: "Why did the second master say this?"

Jia Ying pretended to be mysterious and said: "You don't need to ask carefully, the discipline will not disappoint you. It's just..."

"It's just what?" Jia Yucun's mind was hooked, seeing a turning point in Jia Ying's words, he felt uneasy for a moment.

Everyone knows the truth: when the voice changes, good things turn bad!

This is the opportunity that Jia Yucun has been waiting for for many years!Asking for a good price and waiting for the time to fly are good words, but if there is no benefactor, everything is useless.

Jia Ying said solemnly, "It's just that there may be twists and turns in your fate, but the future is a trivial matter."

For him, Jia Yucun, what was bigger than the future was his fate.

Jia Yucun was even more anxious, and asked: "What are you afraid of? The second master has something to say, but it's okay, Yucun listens quietly."

But Jia Ying was not as good as he wanted, if I told you everything, how could I handle you, Second Master!
He said in his heart, "Wait until you come to beg me in the future!"

Immediately, he laughed and said: "However, Yucun doesn't have to believe all the words, and doesn't have to believe everything."

Jia Yucun: "."

I always feel like you're teasing me, but I have no proof!
But Jia Yucun changed his mind and thought again: "Jia Yucun, Jia Yucun, you are also confused! You can be straight and straight, that's the ability of a fairy-like person, and the person next to you is nothing more than a yellow-mouthed child. You actually believe it, really Lost size!"

After figuring this out, Jia Yucun returned to his previous state of not being surprised, but he didn't know what to say.

Jia Ying never thought that Jia Yucun could be controlled with only two or three words, everything is too late, foreshadowing, it will take time to ferment, don't worry.

Beijing.

As expected of a famous official, Fu Donglai acted swiftly and resolutely. He had discussed with Emperor Jiade yesterday, and when he got home that night, he took out the specific regulations, and only waited for the court meeting to pass before reporting to Jiade.

The dreary court meeting style was an unhealthy atmosphere formed in Xuanlong's later years. At the beginning of Emperor Jiade's reign, he pretended to be Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, so he never corrected this unhealthy trend in the Daqian court.

Now that Emperor Xuanlong has passed away and the residual prestige is slowly dissipating, the long-standing evils cannot be reversed in a day or two, nor can it be reversed by the emperor alone.

Although Fu Donglai was placed with high hopes by Jiade, after all, the days of entering the cabinet are short and the upstart is not stable. Moreover, he is only a cabinet minister now, and he is still some distance away from the second assistant. Therefore, although he intends to cooperate with Emperor Jiade to reorganize the court The wind, but the strength is weak.

He only thought about when that smelly and hard Feng Hengshi would be able to return to the imperial court, and he had to rely on him to drive those clean streams in the Inspectorate.

At that time, with the help of the Inspectorate, he will be able to break arms with the two people in front of him.

Thinking of this, Fu Donglai slightly raised his eyes and glanced at the two people who were still in front of him in the class, the current chief assistant and second assistant of Daganchao.

"The old god is here, standing still, known as the two pillars of the Daqian Dynasty in the late Xuanlong period, ha ha." Fu Donglai sneered in his heart.

Just because the court meeting is dull and smooth doesn't mean that Dagan's official system won't work.

It's just that I don't want to "trouble" the emperor with these "trifles" so that the emperor can sit back and relax.

The day-to-day matters that should be dealt with in a big way were almost finalized at Wenyuan Pavilion, and then presented to the emperor, it was just a formality to make everything look impeccable and justifiable.

"Advance with the foundation, retreat without the foundation!" With the voice of the inner minister Dai Quan, the day-to-day court meeting of the Daqian Dynasty came to an end.

The emperor left first.

Fu Donglai left Fengtian Hall, exchanged false greetings with a few familiar colleagues, and then turned to the Imperial Study.

After he left, the crowd's discussion began to sound.

"Look, it's really a new rich man, and he ran to the imperial study faster than the two cabinet assistants."

"Who says it's not, I'm afraid it won't be long before that old man will have to add an auxiliary character, Fu Donglai, the word Fuchen!"

"Hey, you're thinking too much, don't you feel worried if you don't look at those two?" the official said, and glanced at the other two senior cabinet assistants who were leaving in parallel.

"That's true, but it doesn't matter to us, just sit quietly in the high pavilion and watch the chess without talking."
