My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 39 Gifts
"Puchi... cluck..."

Suddenly, a chuckle came from the imperial study room.

Everyone followed the sound and saw the White Queen lightly covering her cherry lips, leaning next to Emperor Changping, laughing so hard that her elegant body was shaking like a begonia beaten by the rain.

"What a good Jia Yu, what a selfish person.

Your Majesty, this is the first time I have ever seen a minister speak of his selfishness in such a righteous and awe-inspiring manner. "

Emperor Changping couldn't help but laugh. After being the emperor for more than ten years, he had seen hundreds of ministers.

No matter how dirty these ministers are in their hearts and how much they exact excessive taxes, on the surface they are not sanctimonious and they just have to hang the plaque "I am a saint" around their necks.

Jia Yu was the first person to admit directly in front of the emperor that his official career meant promotion, wealth, and a wife.

But he couldn't get angry because what he said was the truth.

Scholars study hard for ten years, and once they are named on the gold medal list, don't they just hope to get promoted and make a fortune?

The soldiers sacrificed their lives and bravely fought the enemy at the border, didn't they just hope that they could have their wives and children or even be the same as the country?
You can't say what others say is wrong, right?
And the truth is often the hardest to refute.

The smile flashed across his eyes, but he still scolded with a straight face: "What the hell are you talking about? It's a good thing to serve the country, but how come it turns into a dirty thing full of copper odor in your mouth?" .

Originally, I felt sorry for you when I saw you being dismissed from your academic title. Now it seems that Yuan Yingde was right to dismiss you from your scholar title.

People like you don't deserve to read the books of saints and sages, they deserve to be just an idle mealworm at home! "

Jia Yu, who hung her head after being scolded by Emperor Changping, muttered to herself: "What's wrong with being a rice insect? Some people want to be a rice insect, but they can't."

"What did you say?" Emperor Changping raised his eyebrows and stared at Jia Yu.

"It's nothing."

Being stared at by Emperor Changping, Jia Yu quickly straightened her back and closed her mouth.

"Okay, you go down, I will be angry when I see you." Emperor Changping waved his hand impatiently, signaling Jia Yu to go down quickly.

The first meeting between Jia Yu and Emperor Changping ended like this.

After coming out of the imperial study, Jia Yu and Feng Tanggang walked to a corridor, and Dai Quan's voice sounded from behind.

"Master Jia, please stay!"

Dai Quan and a young eunuch chased him from behind.

When he walked up to Jia Yu, Dai Quan handed him a waist badge.

"Master Jia, this is a reward from your Majesty."

Jia Yu took the badge and found that although it was carved from wood, it was quite substantial. It seemed to be made of some kind of hard wood with two lines of words engraved on it.

The first line says "Supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs" and the second line says "Commander of the East City of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses"
Seeing Jia Yu turning over and over with her waist tag, she didn't show any surprise on her face.

Dai Quan couldn't help but remind him: "Master Jia, this is awarded to you by His Majesty. With this badge, you can enter the palace at any time and submit the badge to ask for an audience with His Majesty."

"Okay, thank you for the reward, Your Majesty." At Dai Quan's reminder, Jia Yu forced a smile on her face and put the badge into her arms.

Seeing that this boy still had a resentful look on his face, Feng Tang wanted to give him a violent shudder and cursed in a low voice.

"You bastard, do you think anyone can have this card?

How many important ministers in the court have worked hard all their lives but never got a piece of it.

Even I didn’t receive a piece of cake from His Majesty’s kindness until I became the commander-in-chief of the Selected Front Battalion. You kid actually dare to despise it?If you keep doing this, believe it or not, I will whip you. "

"of course not."

Facing his immediate boss and leader, Jia Yu did not dare to make any mistakes and quickly showed a smile. "You misunderstood. This junior is not thinking about it. No matter what, we have made a contribution to His Majesty. Why are we kicked out without even being promoted? This is not appropriate... eh!"

It turned out that Feng Tang couldn't bear it any longer, so he stepped forward and kicked him in the butt.

Looking at the extra footprints on Jia Yu's butt, Dai Quan suppressed a smile and took out a decree from his arms and said sharply: "Under the imperial decree, Jia Yu, the officer of the third team of the front camp outpost, is selected to receive the decree!"

Jia Yu and Feng Tang quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, Jia Yu, accepts the order!"

"Feng, Heaven carries the emperor, the edict says

Jia Yu, an officer of the third team of Zi Youxuan's outpost, was in command when he and Erlong Mountain suppressed bandits, and the sergeants looked up to him in fear.

He was a loyal and brave person, and because of his outstanding talents, the imperial court was able to take on important tasks, so he was named the Commander of the East City of the Army and Horses Division.

I look forward to Jia Yu, who cares for the people like a son and the master of the capital like a mountain.

While in office, orders must be strictly enforced and order must be maintained.

I hope Jia Yuke will do his best to comfort my heart
This is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the 13th year of Daxia."

"The minister leads the decree to thank you!"

After reading the imperial edict, Dai Quan handed it to Jia Yu with a smile.

After Jia Yu received the imperial edict, Dai Quan took out pieces from the tray held by the young eunuch and handed them to him in small bags.

"Master Jia, this is the seal of the commander of Dongcheng. Take this seal and go to the Ministry of Personnel to click it immediately.

Your Majesty has specially given you three days' leave, and you will be able to take up your post at the Dongcheng Military and Horse Department in three days. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

Thanks again, Jia Yu was about to say goodbye to Dai Quan when she saw him smiling and saying: "Master Jia, don't leave in a hurry. Jia Nu Shi is still waiting for you in front."

Seeing that Jia Yu still had something to do, Feng Tang could only say goodbye first, but before leaving, he did not forget to ask Jia Yu to come to his home when she was free.

For this old man who could be said to be his guide, Jia Yu respected him from the bottom of his heart and agreed immediately.

After Feng Tang left, Jia Yu followed Dai Quan to a side hall. When he opened the door, he saw Jia Yuanchun in light white palace clothes standing there and looking at him blankly.

Next to her stood a pretty girl with a bun face and the appearance of a maid. Jia Yu estimated that this must be Jia Yuanchun's personal maid, Bao Qin.

Jia Yu stepped forward and bowed with clasped fists: "Jia Yu, the younger brother, has met the eldest sister."

"it is good!"

Looking at the tall and handsome young man in front of him, Jia Yuanchun's eyes immediately turned red. He wanted to step forward to help him, but she forcibly restrained him.

This is the palace, and there are countless pairs of eyes watching around. Any overstep will be noticed. Naturally, Jia Yuanchun cannot make such a mistake.

Although this was her first time meeting Jia Yu, she couldn't help but pour out her longing for her family members over the years on this clan member after not seeing her family for ten years.

For a long time, after his emotions calmed down a little, Jia Yuanchun forced a smile and said:

"Judging from your name, you should be of the same generation as Baoyu, so it's appropriate to call me eldest sister.

Hold the piano and get the things. "

"Sure enough, this girl is holding Qin." Jia Yu thought to herself.

Soon, Baoqin took out two boxes, one large and one small, and handed them to Jia Yu.

Jia Yuanchun said from the side: "These two boxes, the larger one is for the old lady, parents and Baoyu at home, and the smaller box is for you as a meeting gift."
