Chapter 902 Xianning: She Doesn't Play Mahjong Anyway
Ningguo Mansion, Backyard Flower Hall
Qin Keqing also got the content of the imperial decree, seeing the young man in the python suit who came from outside, she asked with concern: "My lord, is there an imperial decree from the palace?"
Third Sister You, who was not far away, also looked curiously at the boy in the python suit, and thought to herself, what happened to the imperial decree?
Jia Heng nodded and said: "I will go to Jiangnan tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If things in Jiangnan are difficult this time, I probably won't be able to come back years ago."
Qin Keqing was slightly startled when she heard the words, she was surprised on her beautiful face, and asked, "Didn't my husband say that he would come back years ago?"
Jia Heng approached, took the jade man's plain hand, and said with a light smile: "If there are no accidents, maybe we can make a quick decision and come back right away, but it may not be that there are other things."
This time going south, it is not just to accompany Jinyang and Zhen Qing, the Jiangnan Jiangbei camp and the navy in Chongmingsha all need to keep an eye on them in person.
And with the implementation of the rewards for the previous two battles, the personnel of the Jiangnan camp will also be adjusted.
Moreover, after Han Huang became the chief assistant, the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River became very popular, and he went here to try to divide the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River by taking advantage of the division of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.
At the same time, he was not just a governor of Anhui to share the worries of Emperor Chongping in the matter of filling in vacancies with officials from the six ministries of Nanjing.
This Emperor Chongping didn't say it clearly, because it was too explicit.
Of course, it is not that he can intervene in the selection of the Sixth Ministry of Nanjing, but as the governor of Jinyi, he can report that those officials and Han Shoufu are not in the same way, as a reference for Emperor Chongping's decision-making.
Qin Keqing asked: "Then husband, here in Beijing...didn't you tell Dad about the Coal Chamber of Commerce earlier?"
Jia Heng pulled Li Ren to sit down, and said softly: "I will take care of this matter."
When Qin Keqing heard the words, she nodded her head and said, "Then husband, be careful all the way."
At this time, Youshi, accompanied by Second Sister You and the maid Yindie, entered the hall through the curtain, and cast his eyes on the couple.
Jia Heng looked at Third Sister You with apologetic eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Sister Third, it is really impossible to do the matter of going through the door now."
Third Sister You was very sensible and said: "It's important that the uncle is busy with business."
Anyway, she and the uncle are already husband and wife, so it doesn't matter when a bridal sedan chair is carried through the door.
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Youshi, his eyes fell on those gentle eyebrows, and nodded.
But Youshi felt her heart skip a beat, panic appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she thought to herself, she didn't pass through the door, what is she doing?
"Sister-in-law You, it's almost Chinese New Year, and there are many things in the clan. Sister-in-law You has gone through a lot of things, so she can help Keqing more." Jia Heng said.
Youshi said: "Don't worry, sir, I will help Keqing."
Jia Heng nodded and didn't say anything else.
And Sister Feng's coquettish voice came from outside, a smile appeared on that beautiful jade face, as if she couldn't see the tears on the carriage, she asked coquettishly, "Brother Heng, are you going to Jiangnan now?"
Jia Heng said: "The urgent errand of the imperial court is over now. The business over the coal side has already been discussed with the two ministers of the Ministry of Industry. I will say hello later and provide a list to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry. House of Internal Affairs, Sister-in-Law Feng will just let Brother Wang Ren's chamber of commerce."
This was the first time he saw Sister Feng since the "painless" conversation with Sister Feng that day, and when he raised his eyes, he could see the soft waves in those red and phoenix eyes.
Sister Feng's expression didn't look any different, she said with a smile: "I was about to tell brother Heng, but I didn't worry about my brother, so I paid a part of the money myself to do this business with him, so as to save him money. What's wrong, Brother Heng thinks it's feasible, right?"
Jia Heng asked: "Can sister-in-law Feng restrain Brother Wang Renshi?"
"Look at what brother Heng said, I was also raised by boys at home, and my brother is also terrified of me." Sister Feng smiled, and said in a tone of showing off.
It was also Qingzhi who was facing the boa-clothed boy who was always worried that her brother was unreliable.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Since this is the case, that would be the best. With Sister-in-Law Feng here, I feel much more at ease. Although it is contracted to distribute to private merchants, it is an errand for the imperial court after all, and I can't let the errand It's screwed up."
Sister Feng smiled and said, "Brother Heng, you can rest assured."
Qin Keqing listened to her husband talking with her "best friend", smiled, and said: "Sister-in-law Feng is just patient, and the business inside and outside of this place can be managed in an orderly manner."
Apparently this beauty still doesn't know the wise saying of "fire prevention, theft prevention and boudoir honey protection" in later generations.
"I'm just worried about my life. After repairing the garden, the money in Xifugong has bottomed out again. I'm trying to make some money." Sister Feng was half complaining, half joking.
Jia Heng thought for a while and asked, "I remember there are still 10 taels of silver in the account of the Fuzhong."
Although the Eastern and Western prefectures worked together to build the Grand View Garden and spent a lot of money, but the search and inspection of the properties of the Lai family, Shan Daliang, Dai Liang and other comprador families also cost a lot of blood for the Ningrong and Rongfu prefectures.
"There are also a lot of expenses in this house. Needless to say, the maintenance of the garden after the year and year, there are also a lot of other expenses." Sister Feng looked at the young man with a smile, her phoenix eyes were soft and rippling.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Then, if Sister-in-Law Feng entrusts a confidant in the mansion to open a shop, she will also get a share."
As for the coal area, he intends to use it as private land, and he is not in a hurry to recruit people to share the risk. He previously surveyed gold mines for the imperial court in Henan, and I don't know how much money he made for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he looked at Qin Keqing with gentle eyes and said, "You guys talk first, I have to go to Jinyi Mansion to do business."
Qin Keqing said: "Then husband, go and get busy first."
Jia Heng nodded his head when he met his eyes that were as soft as water, and without further words, accompanied by Chen Xiao, he went to Jinyi Mansion.
Sister Feng took Qin Keqing's hand and said with a smile: "Keqing, it is often said that a good man has his ambitions everywhere, and besides, there are so many things in this world that cannot be separated from him, an important court official."
Qin Keqing pursed her cherry lips, and said, "Husband, he is working too hard."
Not long after my husband came back, he went out on business again. No wonder Mrs. You persuaded me earlier, it was really hard.
Sister Feng said with relief: "If you are bored at night, don't we still have us? Playing mahjong together can also relieve boredom."
No matter how bad it is, she can still move here to live with Keqing, um, maybe Mrs. Gaoming's bed is softer?
Qin Keqing was a little unnatural on the lotus jade face, and said softly: "I don't want to play mahjong anymore."
Sister Feng: "???"
Don't play mahjong anymore?What happened?
After thinking about it, Sister Feng realized that it was probably caused by the girls in the house.
In fact, I went fishing with the fisherman, but my daughter-in-law...
When you fish, others also fish, and the hook is straight and the bait is salty.
Qin Keqing said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, there are a lot of things going on in the house, recently many families in the Beijing camp have come to visit us, we must see each other."
Sister Feng suddenly came over when she heard the words, smiled and said: "This is what it should be."
In the official office of Jinyi Mansion, in the hall——
Qu Lang was sitting on a pear wood chair, with a dusty look on his face, but his eyes were diverted, as if he was fascinated, all the generals and officials of Jinyi Mansion around him looked at Qu Tongzhi.
Since the master Qu has been with the governor, it can be said that he has risen steadily and risen step by step, but what he does is also secret and dangerous.
"The governor is here." At this moment, the voice of Jinyi soldiers came from under the eaves, and the Chinese officials of Jinyi Mansion who were busy in the hall stood up together with Qu Lang, following the sound.
Jia Heng stepped into the hall, and the Jinyi generals and civil servants who were working around saluted one after another.
"I've seen the governor in my humble position." Qu Lang quickly stepped forward, cupping his fists and saluting.
Jia Heng nodded, with a mild expression on his face, and said, "Qu Tongzhi has been a hard trip."
"Running for the imperial court, I dare not talk about hard work." Qu Lang clasped his hands.
Jia Heng said: "Qu Tongzhi, follow me to the study to talk."
"Yes, Commander." Qu Lang answered yes, and then followed Jia Heng towards the study in the hall.
Jia Heng sat behind a mahogany desk, looked at Qu Lang, and asked, "Qu Tongzhi, tell me."
Qu Lang said in a low voice: "Commander, there are many Bailian believers in Shandong and other places, and the local forces are intertwined. There are many small officials in the government to inform them."
Jia Heng frowned, and glanced at the white lotus saintess not far away, who was standing with her hands down, and met a pair of quiet and clear eyes.
Well, there are members of the White Lotus Sect in Jinyi Mansion.
Qu Lang continued: "And it's not just limited to Shandong, there are also those believers in several southern provinces. They hide deeply, and it will take a long time to get rid of them."
Jia Heng frowned, and asked, "How come there are so many members of the White Lotus Sect?"
"The White Lotus Sect has been rising for decades, and it may even be involved in the case of the abolition of the crown prince. In recent years, the drought in the north and the flood in the south, thieves and thieves have sprung up, and many people have sneaked into the mountains and forests, and the White Lotus Sect has taken the opportunity to develop believers. .” Qu Lang said.
After listening to it calmly, Jia Heng said, "Prince Waste? How does this involve Prince Edward?"
Qu Lang first looked left and right, then turned his gaze to Chen Xiao.
Jia Heng said: "Miss Xiao is my confidant, so don't shy away from it."
Qu Lang lowered his voice, and said: "This is something that the humble official took a lot of trouble to find out. According to rumors, the concubine Jing was the saint of the White Lotus Sect, and the abolished prince also had some connections with the White Lotus Sect, but the rumors do not know the truth. Fake."
Chen Xiao looked at Qu Lang, his clear eyes were somewhat deep, and a cold light flashed in his heart.
This Qu Lang knew too much, if he asked him to investigate further, I was afraid that some secrets would be involved.
Jia Heng's heart was also turbulent, but his face remained calm, and he said: "There are many implicated in this matter, so don't investigate it yet."
Immediately, he asked: "Have you ever figured out the structure of the White Lotus Sect?"
"They set up incense halls and sub-helms in various places, and in their lairs there are lifeless old mothers, Maitreya Buddha, and Donghua Emperor." Qu Lang said softly.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then asked: "Sangha, Daoist and secular households are complete?"
Qu Lang said: "But no one knows where these people came from, and no one has seen their true faces."
Jia Heng thought for a while, and ordered: "This matter involves the abolished prince, you don't want to investigate any further, and bring all the information to me. The Marquis has one more thing to entrust to you."
Qu Lang couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring, knowing that this may involve the supreme being in the palace, he said in a low voice: "Please give me your instructions."
Obviously, he also knew that he was called back urgently this time, and there was an extremely confidential matter.
Jia Heng said: "Go to Datong and Taiyuan, and find out the relationship and connections between the generals."
Human beings are social beings. If we want to investigate a person, we can basically find the entry point if we find out his social network.
Qu Lang clasped his hands and said, "I don't know who to investigate, please let me know."
"Wang Chengyin, the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan, and Jiang Zining, the commander-in-chief of Datong, all the generals and schools, mainly the generals promoted by Wang and Jiang, and the wealthy merchants behind them, especially the Shanxi merchants." Jia Hengxu said: "In addition You should also pay attention to the latest news of Jurchen, and deliver it to the capital at any time."
This time, he will preemptively strike. After he has visited Jiangnan, he will go to Datong, Taiyuan and other places to take over everything.
Qu Lang's heart trembled slightly, he didn't say much, and he should do it.
After Qu Lang left, Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "You don't have to look at me, I actually don't know."
"Then when did you know, tell me about it." Jia Heng said softly, without asking too many questions, but said: "If it wasn't for the fact that the Military Weapons Supervision and Fire Gun hadn't been made, I would have gone to Datong to sit in town. We can't delay for too long, we need to rectify the military affairs of the two places as soon as possible, and wait and see the changes in the grassland."
We cannot passively wait for the Jurchen to take the initiative to enter the bandits.
Chen Xiao said: "That's fine."
Wei Wangfu, in the study
Standing in front of the window, King Wei looked at the pear tree in the courtyard, and said softly, "Uncle, Jia Ziyu has gone to the south of the Yangtze River again."
Song Jing said with emotion: "This idea of subdividing the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River seems to be Jia Ziyu's handwriting, so it's really a good idea."
If Jia Heng was just a simple feat of martial arts, he wouldn't think it was anything, just being favored for a while, but he is so good at figuring out the holy will and sensing changes in the situation, he is really a peerless national scholar.
Such a person can only be a friend, not an enemy.
But in the future, His Royal Highness may not be able to control it. After he ascends the throne, he will have to deal with it in order to keep the world peaceful.
Wei Wangdao: "Lin Ruhai was transferred back to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River. There is a vacancy in patrolling the Yan Yushi. Is there any suitable man in the uncle?"
Although Song Jing was born in Juren, he also made friends with some Jinshi, and some of them happened to be among the imperial censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in terms of age and qualifications.
In addition, Song Xuan, the uncle of Song Siguo, also had some similarities in the same year. As Wei Wang Chen Ran opened the government, his mind became active, and he began to move closer to Wei Wang Chen Ran.
Because the king of Wei is the son of the empress Yuan, even though he talks about Confucianism, he also has the appearance of the Eastern Palace. These people don't have any psychological pressure.
"Yes, there is, but now, compared with the past, the post of patrolling salt censor is in charge of arresting smugglers, and the tax collection is now concentrated in the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Song Jing frowned, thought for a while, and said in a low voice : "If your Highness wants to make a profit from the salt, you can plan to belong to the Lianghuai Transshipment Department, but now the Lianghuai Capital Transshipment Department is also controlled by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is not as free as before."
When King Wei heard Song Jing mentioning the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he had a complex look on his face, and said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is really a pity."
If my uncle was able to enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve as the Secretary of Kuaiji, wait another three or two years, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will also be in charge of the uncle.
Thinking of this, Wei Wang said: "Jin Yang said that he needs to deal with the Zhen family and manage the opening of the sea business. It seems that this year he will not return to Beijing. I don't know what's going on in the south."
Even King Wei had a big brain hole, and he didn't know that Jinyang had given birth in the south.
Song Jing said: "The Son of Heaven does not allow this matter. No matter how much you do it, it will only make you disgusted for nothing. Your Highness's most urgent task now is to plan to go to the Ministry of Rites to observe politics. The Holy Majesty must pay special attention to the spring test in March this year. Opportunities for people, as for farming and earning a living, the ancestors of the Song family lived in Hangzhou, where there used to be a lot of tribesmen, and the south of Fujian and Guangdong opened up the sea and trade, and the sea trade is prosperous, so your Highness don't need to worry too much about money."
The original ancestral home of the Song family was Hangzhou Mansion. Later, with the title of Empress Song, the old grandpa Song and his wife settled in Chang’an City. Now they are raised in a separate garden in Xishan. trouble.
Wei Wang said: "That's fine, but it takes a lot of money. It's better to find more places to make a living."
Song Jing said: "Your Highness, don't worry. By the way, the Ministry of Rites is watching the government. A few days ago, I met Yan Hong, the Secretary of the Imperial Academy. He admires His Highness's demeanor, and he will handle this matter soon."
"Yan Hong?" King Wei asked in a low voice, raising his eyebrows with some surprise on his face.
Song Jing smiled and said: "Yan Hong and Han Ge are old brothers-in-law, and now they are the Secretary of the Imperial Academy. Although their rank is not high, they have a good reputation among the Qingliu. Your Highness can contact him."
He also didn't expect that Yan Hong would take the initiative to show his favor. It seems that His Royal Highness's status as Queen Yuanzi is indeed justified and won the hearts of the people.
King Wei nodded and said, "Isn't it rumored that Han Ge's veteran will be promoted to the position of chief assistant recently, but why has this special decree not come down for so long?"
Song Jing said: "Thinking about it, I still fear that the scholars in the south will flourish from now on. There should be a conclusion before the Chinese New Year."
A look of worry appeared in Wei Wang Chen Ran's eyes.
In the Han residence, in the study——
On the flaming stove, the purple sand pot was gurgling, with steam rising from the spout, and Han Huang and Yan Hong were sitting on the left and right.
"Brother, the Marquis of Yongning went to the south of the Yangtze River to preside over the division of provinces, and dismissed the magistrates of Zhizhou prefecture. What is your majesty's intention?" Yan Hong put down his teacup and asked worriedly.
Han Huang looked indifferent, and said: "What else can it be, but it's just to split Jiangnan in half with the great sword of Yongninghou."
Yan Hong's complexion changed when he heard this, and he said in a low voice, "Why do the palace have so much suspicion of my southern scholars?"
Han Huang raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Hong, took a sip from the teacup, and said, "There is more than one Jiangnan in the world."
Seeing that Han Huang was not happy, Yan Hong paused, and said: "The elder brother's words are magnificent, and he really has the world in mind."
"This is what the Holy Majesty told me yesterday." Han Huang said in a low voice with gloomy eyes.
Yan Hong: "..."
After pondering for a moment, he said that he did not tell the whole story about his appointment with King Wei after all.
Han Huang took a sip from the teacup, suppressed his complicated and inexplicable emotions, and asked, "Where is Zisheng? Why haven't you seen him recently?"
"Brother, it snowed heavily in central Beijing recently, and many young children from official families held a poetry meeting, and Zisheng was invited to attend." Yan Hong explained.
Han Huang frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Next spring and March will be the year of the competition. If he doesn't stay in the mansion and study hard behind closed doors, what arty poetry meeting will he attend?"
The 15th year of Chongping happened to be the year of the three-year imperial examination, and if there is no major event in March next year, Chunwei will be held.
Yan Hong smiled when he heard the words, and persuaded: "Brother, don't worry too much. I have studied his homework, and he is quite solid, and he already has the strength of a Jinshi."
Han Huang said: "If I fail next year, the world doesn't know how to laugh at me. If it is high school, there will be criticisms of injustice. Fortunately, next year the Holy Spirit will not let me take the exam anyway."
He had been the chief examiner twice in the past, but now he was promoted to the chief assistant. Obviously, with the emperor's heart, he would not allow him to recruit more students.
Yan Hong asked: "Brother, when will the imperial decree be issued in the palace?"
"It's only been a few days. It is estimated that the matter of subdividing the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River has finally been finalized, and it will not be until the next year at the latest." Han Huang's eyes were a little excited.
After many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, sitting in that position, the realization of political ambitions is just around the corner.
It can be said that after a century of great Han, the power of the chief minister of the cabinet is still quite large.
Not to mention that Han Huang was thinking about it, but said that after Jia Heng handled his official duties in Jinyi Mansion, at noon, he led Chen Xiao to the Princess Jinyang Mansion together, planning to meet Xianning and Chanyue before leaving.
Jinyang Princess Palace, attic
Sitting behind the desk, Li Chanyue played the piano, raised her bright eyes like water, looked at the girl who was leaning on the railing and looked at the snowy garden, and asked, "Cousin, is the Princess Mansion finished?"
The slender girl turned around, with tranquility on her slightly icy face, and said in a clear voice: "The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have stepped up their repairs, and the queen mother personally ordered it to go down, and my uncle also sent people to watch. It should be completed in the spring of next year.”
Li Chanyue said: "That's good too, it's cheaper to travel."
Princess Xianning looked at the girl with a smile, and said, "My sister will also come to live at that time."
She and Chanyue are good sisters for life, and they will tie up her husband in the future.
"Me? I don't need it, mother won't agree." Li Chanyue said softly with shyness in her brows and eyes.
Mother also wanted her to put on a show outside, otherwise mother would not be able to meet and talk to Mr. Jia.
There was a smile on the corner of Princess Xianning's mouth, she sat down in front of Li Chanyue, and said: "When she has a child, I'm afraid she still doesn't like having you by her side, so as to delay the chatting and laughing of the three of them."
Li Chanyue Fang's heart beat slightly, her jade cheeks flushed slightly, she said: "Mother loves me the most, she won't do that."
Besides, in the future, she will also be... a family of three.
Princess Xianning looked at Li Chanyue, whose jade cheeks were slightly red, raised her eyes to look into the distance, and said in a low voice, "What do you think sir is doing right now?"
Since that day, the husband has never looked for her again, which is too shameful.
Li Chanyue said: "Since Mr. Jia came back, he has been busy with military and state affairs. A few days ago, he lived and boarded in the Beijing camp. It has only been two days. Thinking about this and the short time, he is really busy. "
"Don't really be unable to pull away." Princess Xianning pulled Li Chanyue's plain hand and said softly.
Li Chanyue: "..."
The girl Chun Shan blinked her pupils under her black eyebrows, with agility and brilliance, indicating that she really couldn't answer the tiger-wolf words.
Since my cousin and Mr. Jia...feel very different. In the past few days, apart from the gestures that make her blush, she just opened her mouth with such heart-pounding words.
Moreover, she became more and more resentful about Mr. Jia not being with her.
Xianning Princess Yu Rong showed a hint of melancholy, pursed her pink lips, and said: "It will be impossible if you don't fight in the future."
Even if she married her husband in the future, if he didn't come to her for three to five days, she thought she couldn't bear it.
It's not about men and women, she doesn't have such a big addiction, but she can't go without seeing people for three to five days, is this still a husband and wife?
Not to mention spending time with her every night, at least not less than spending time with Qin Shi.
Anyway...she doesn't play mahjong.
In fact, this is the character of the imperial daughter of the clan. For a while, she is wronged because of love, but it is impossible to tolerate Jia Heng's disappearance all the time.
Li Chanyue looked at the girl with a thoughtful look on her beautiful face, and said in a delicate voice: "Cousin, we... don't seem to have gotten through the door yet, right?"
Princess Xianning's clear eyes under the willow-leaf eyebrows smiled lightly, and said: "It's a matter of time."
While the two sisters were talking one after another, light footsteps came from the attic, and a female official bowed gracefully by the screen, and said: "Your Highness, Princess, the Marquis of Yongning is here."
