My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 183 The Emperor Summons

"Bah!"

Just when Jia Yu was in a dilemma, a crashing sound suddenly sounded, which was particularly clear in the silent room.

Jia Yu, Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan all turned their heads and looked over. A young girl with a look of shock and shame on her face was standing at the door staring at them. Who could she be if she wasn't the Tanchun they mentioned?

"You...you..."

Tanchun, who was ashamed, annoyed and angry, stretched out his slender finger, first pointed at Jia Yu, and finally pointed at his mother, and then said angrily: "Auntie, how could you do this?"

"How am I doing?"

Seeing that the matter was exposed, Aunt Zhao simply gave up.

She put her hands on her hips, pointed at Tanchun and cursed: "Don't forget, you came out of my intestines.

I can’t make the final decision on your life-long affairs?

What's wrong with Brother Yu? He is a dignified earl.

If you follow him, he will definitely not wrong you, and you will be able to enjoy the hot and delicious food, isn't it good? "

Tan Chun suppressed his anger, pointed at Aunt Zhao and said angrily: "So you sold your daughter just for Brother Huan's future?"

"What are you selling?" Aunt Zhao said disdainfully: "How old are you? I eat more salt than you eat rice.

You are my daughter, can I still harm you?

Ask yourself, what is wrong with Brother Yu?

I need to be talented and good-looking, but what makes me unworthy of you? "

Having said this, Tanchun remained silent.

She asked herself, her mother was not wrong.

Looking at the entire Shenjing, there is not even one young hero of this age group who can compete with Jia Yu.

But for the arrogant Tanchun, marrying someone as an aunt is almost an insult.

Aunt Zhao, who has been giving birth to children since she was a child, may not have any other abilities, but her ability to observe words and emotions is definitely first-rate.

Seeing that Tanchun's expression softened slightly, she immediately struck a chord while the iron was hot: "Mom, I know that you have been high-spirited since you were a child, always thinking about doing something big.

But who said you were born from my mother?

For a girl like you who is a commoner, it is impossible for a wealthy family to marry you as their first wife.

You don't bother to marry an ordinary person, so you might as well marry Brother Yu.

And my mother has also thought that with Yuanchun's temperament, she will never let you be wronged after you go there.

In addition, she is pregnant now. If you go there now, you might be able to live the life of a housekeeper's wife.

Besides, Brother Yu is someone we know very well, so if you follow him, you don’t have to worry about it being bad for you! "

Aunt Zhao became more and more enthusiastic as she talked, and she was so excited that she didn't notice the embarrassed Jia Yu and her daughter who wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl in.

"All right."

Seeing that Aunt Zhao was getting more explicit as she spoke, Jia Yu quickly interrupted her.

She turned to look at Tanchun and said sincerely: "Sister Tanchun, Brother Yu didn't know anything about today's incident beforehand.

If there is any offense, Brother Yu is here to apologize to you. "

After speaking, Jia Yu bowed to Tanchun.

Although Tanchun was still ashamed and angry, her good upbringing over the years also made her subconsciously turn aside, then bend down to return the salute.

Two lines of crystal tears flowed down her snow-white cheeks. She looked at Jia Yu and sobbed: "Brother Yu, today's matter is really my aunt's own decision, and my little sister also knows that it is none of your business.

It’s just that the matter has come to this, and it’s useless to talk about it any more. Brother Yu, please go back first. Today’s matter…this matter…”

At this point, Tanchun couldn't talk any more, and more tears kept falling.

Jia Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly. Although Tanchun said it was not his fault, since some things had already happened, how could it be treated as if they had not happened?

If he left in such a daze today, something might happen to Tanchun due to his arrogant temperament.

He took a deep breath and said, "Sister Tanchun, Brother Yu has the audacity to ask you here, what do you think of what Aunt Zhao just said?"

"Eh……"

Tanchun was stunned when she heard this. She never expected that Jia Yu would ask such an explicit question on the spot.

Jia Yu also took the risk. Although what happened today was something he had never expected beforehand, now that Aunt Zhao had made it clear, things were different.

And since a girl as capable as Tanchun has the opportunity to live in the house, why should she let it go?

Of course, the premise is that Tanchun agrees.

"Sister Tanchun, Brother Yu knows that you are really wronged by asking you to be an aunt.

But if you are willing, your status in the Earl's Mansion will be slightly lower than that of your sister Yuanchun.

If you are willing to take care of the house, Brother Yu can give you part of the property to take care of. If you don't want to take care of the house and just want to be a leisurely concubine, that's fine too.

Of course, this all must be done voluntarily.

If you don't want to, just pretend that what Brother Yu just said has not been said. Except for a few of us, Brother Yu will never reveal what happened today to anyone, and it will never affect your reputation and integrity. Please rest assured, sister. .

Brother Yu said this and asked the girl to think again. Brother Yu took his leave first. "

After that, Jia Yu stood up and strode away, but when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Jia Huan, and said.

"Brother Huan, starting from tomorrow, you will come to the yard where I live every day at the right time and work hard with me to practice martial arts.

I will teach you personally. If you can do well within half a year, I will send you to the Huben Camp to hone your skills. If you can't do well, you see how I will deal with you! "

After saying that, Jia Yu opened the door and left the room, leaving only Aunt Zhao, Jia Huan and Tan Chun looking at each other.

There was silence in the room for a long time before Aunt Zhao said weakly.

"Daughter, brother Yu is actually really good. At least you will never be wronged if you follow him, and mother will not harm you."

"Mom, please stop talking." Tan Chun's angry voice sounded, and his pink face turned red from shame or anger.

He turned his head and glared at Jia Huan: "Did you hear what brother Shi Caiyu said?

There is no room for disgrace in his eyes. If you are still as idle as before, he will not pamper you like my mother and I did. "

Jia Huan chuckled, "What are you afraid of? He is my brother-in-law no matter what, so he dares to beat me to death?"

"Snapped……"

A crisp sound resounded in the room. It turned out to be Tan Chun, who was so angry that he immediately picked up a feather duster on the table and gave Jia Huan a hard blow.

"Ah... you actually dare to hit me... mother... Tanchun, she actually dares to hit me!"

"You little shrew, you dare to beat your brother, why don't you just beat me to death too!"

For a moment, the whole room was in chaos...

.........     After Jia Yu left Aunt Zhao's yard, she was blown by the cool breeze, and her head, which was already a little hot, began to sober up.

Looking back on what happened just now, I feel that it is ridiculous but also a little exciting.

Tanchun is his serious sister-in-law. If he really takes her in, Yuanchun doesn't know how to tell her.

That's it for Yuanchun. With her virtuous temperament, it shouldn't be a big problem to convince her to accept her half-sister.

After all, the biggest resistance should be Jia Mu and Jia Zheng.

When she thought about how sisters could live together, Jia Yu felt that the temperature that had just dropped started to get hot again.

Sigh... Liu Beiwen read too much when he visited Lao Wang's forum in his previous life. This problem needs to be corrected.

In his wild thoughts, he returned to Yuanchun's yard.

But before he entered the yard, he saw Jin Chuan coming towards him in a hurry.

As soon as they met, it was like seeing a savior, and he said anxiously: "Uncle Yu... you are finally back.

Someone has come to the palace, saying that His Majesty wants you to enter the palace immediately. "

"Enter the palace immediately?"

Jia Yu looked up at the sky. It was almost Youshi (seventeen o'clock). How could the emperor announce that he had entered the palace at this time?

Seeing that Jia Yu was a little confused, Jin Chuan said again: "Sir, please hurry up. The father-in-law who delivered the order is still waiting in the middle hall."

"Okay...you wait until I change my clothes before going over."

Jia Yu returned to the courtyard and hurriedly changed her clothes. When she came to the middle hall, she followed the little eunuch who delivered the order to the imperial study room of Daming Palace.

When Jia Yu entered the imperial study, he saw Emperor Changping sitting behind the dragon case. Wang Zhijie, Jian Desan, Yang Jilin, Ye Zuo, Geng Benzheng and other cabinet ministers and the Minister of Household Affairs were sitting on both sides to discuss matters.

Seeing Jia Yu coming in a hurry, Emperor Changping showed a rare smile on his usually serious face, and even joked: "Oh...it turns out that my uncle Dingyuan is here."

Jia Yu strode forward and paid homage to Emperor Changping: "Jia Yu, uncle Ding Yuan, commander-in-chief of the Huben Battalion, and commander of the Five-City Army and Horse Division, salutes your majesty, long live my emperor!"

"Ai Qing, please be fine."

Emperor Changping waved his hand to signal Jia Yu to get up.

Then Jia Yu saluted Wang Zhijie, several other pavilion elders, and the Minister of Household Affairs Geng Benzheng.

When everyone saw Jia Yu saluting, they all stood up and returned the salute to him.

Seeing several old men returning gifts to him one after another, Jia Yu suddenly realized that the identities of both parties had changed.

He is no longer the fourth-grade officer, but a superior-grade earl, the emperor's title of General Longhu, Commander-in-Chief of the Huben Battalion, and Commander of the Five-City Army and Horses Division, and he also holds the seal of military power.

Even compared to several cabinet ministers, he is on an equal footing, and even superior in terms of rank.

Thinking of this, a huge sense of satisfaction can't help but arise.

He couldn't help but feel emotional, no wonder people said that power is the strongest aphrodisiac for men. Once you have tasted its taste, it is difficult to give up.

After he sat down, Emperor Changping said: "Jia Aiqing, you have just returned to the court, and I promised to let you rest at home for a few days.

But it just so happens that I, Wang Aiqing and others have been discussing some things over the past few days and don't understand the issue of Tuotuobuhua mutual trade, so I have to ask you to come over and consult you on some things. I hope you don't mind. "

Jia Yu quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please don't say that, as the saying goes, eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor are the things.

Since I am a minister of Daxia, I have the responsibility and obligation to contribute to the court of Daxia. When the court has something to do, how can I not do my best? "

Seeing what Jia Yu said, Emperor Changping was very satisfied: "I am very relieved that my beloved can think so.

Wang Aiqing and others will tell you what happens next. "

Jia Yu looked at Wang Zhijie and others.

Wang Zhijie then said to him: "Master Jia, we and others have been discussing the mutual trade with Tuotuo Buhua for the past two days.

It stands to reason that mutual trade is a good thing that is mutually beneficial, but I have never understood why Master Jia insisted on using Mongolian wool as one of the necessities of the mutual trade when he signed an agreement with Tuotuo Buhua last time, even with war horses. Comparable.

You know, the Mongolians have a tradition of using cow and sheep skins to make clothing and protect themselves from the cold.

But these things are not necessities for us in the Central Plains, and we Han people are more accustomed to using cotton, linen, silk, etc. to make clothes.

If we exchange tea bricks and salt for a lot of useless wool and sheepskins, what will it do to the country?

We can't exchange real money for a lot of useless junk, right? "

"Yes, Mr. Jia." Geng Benzheng, the Minister of Household Affairs on the side, also said: "We in Daxia are not rich now. If we wantonly use the people's hard work to subsidize the Mongols, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right? "

"That's right, Mr. Jia, do you want to give an explanation to the court and His Majesty?"

A group of cabinet members echoed his words, and everyone stared at Jia Yu, waiting for his explanation.

Jia Yu understood. No wonder Wang Zhijie agreed so happily when he proposed to exchange wool as a necessity last time. The old man had dug a hole for himself and was waiting for him.

If I don't give them a satisfactory explanation today, not to mention that Emperor Changping will be extremely disappointed with him, these cabinet ministers and civil servants will also attack him immediately, right?

Jia Yu could think of this. As an emperor who had been in charge of Jiji for more than ten years, Emperor Changping would not have thought of it. He glanced at Wang Zhijie, and then fixed his eyes on Jia Yu. He also wanted to know what Jia Yu did. answered.

In response to everyone's questions, Jia Yu did not answer them on the spot, but asked: "Your Majesty, gentlemen.

What do you think of wool? "

Hearing Jia Yu's question, Yang Jilin, a scholar at Wuyingdian, just smiled scornfully: "Wool is just a vulgar thing. Since ancient times, only those Tatars who care about hair and drink blood have used it with fur and skin to make clothing to keep out the cold.

This thing is not breathable when worn on the body, and it also has a fishy smell. How can we, the Chinese people, use this kind of thing to keep out the cold like barbarians? "

Jia Yu looked around at everyone: "Oh...do you adults think so too?"

Everyone remained silent, and it was obvious that they acquiesced in Yang Jilin's words.

Looking at the faces of these people, Jia Yu sneered in her heart, put her hand into her arms, and then took out a piece of cloth from her arms and handed it to Dai Quan who was standing aside.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Dai Quan quickly brought the things over and checked them before handing them over to Emperor Changping.

Emperor Changping took the cloth and took a look. He saw that the cloth was bright in color, smooth and smooth in surface, exquisite in texture, clear in texture, and felt very good to the touch.

The most important thing is that he has never seen this kind of fabric before.
