Chapter 232 It's Fun But Sister-in-law
Jia Cong sat on both sides of Gong Dingci and Dai Fengxiang. This year, Wuyin, the emperor issued an order last year to recommend several court officials or foreign governors to join the cabinet to do business. Their Jinshi, who came from the Bingzi department, was still very qualified, Yanshe wanted to build momentum for Zhao Beidou's comeback, but this was not enough. Gong Dingci also wanted other literary clubs to help, not only Shanhai League, Qi, Chu, Yu, and Zhejiang literary clubs. He ran away from people with connections, and promoted works for teachers below, and above, the relationship between officials. Shanhai League is also one of them.
"Brother Shanhai, we are both the same year and colleagues. What was my original agreement? Shanhai Alliance also published a teacher's book. It is best if you make a review book and praise it." Gong Dingci said it erroneously. He asked Jia Cong to write a review book he admired and to foster Zhao Beidou's reputation. After all, Jia Cong's reputation is still quite good, although it is difficult for some old-fashioned people to predict whether Jia Cong can go smoothly.
Zhao Beidou stepped down for the sake of King Yu. From then on, Emperor Yongle made an order to express his intention to write a letter to discuss the candidate for the crown prince unless the emperor personally summoned him to ask the court. Therefore, the struggle between various factions is now a secret struggle, and therefore it is not as fierce as the dispute over the country's foundation in Wanli, and is still within the emperor's control.
The second assistant to the cabinet, Zhang Ge Lao, seemed to dislike him, and the chief assistant Yang Qinghe was a modest attitude. Fortunately, the cabinet minister Wang Yingyuan was his teacher. Yang Chuan thought quickly. If Zhao Beidou entered the cabinet again, it would be more beneficial than disadvantages for him.
Although it is a bit difficult for Zhao Beidou to make a comeback, because if this person who once publicly supports King Yu can make a comeback again, it means that the emperor's attitude towards the three princes has changed.
The emperor's attitude must be explored by the Silijian and the Jinyiwei, so that he can be invincible.
"It's easy to say that Editor Gong's teacher even published reviews for me back then. It's really elegant and I should really praise it and live up to everyone's expectations." Jia Cong agreed with a smile, and he said a lot of nonsense.
Because of Dai Quan's instructions, Jia Cong won the heart of an eunuch and had a good relationship with him. Seeing Gong Dingci turn around and toast, he took the opportunity to whisper: "The emperor's dragon body has been getting sick recently, and the crown prince of our dynasty is not bound by the ancestral system. The emperor is in a state of sway. The imperial envoy of King Yu inspects the three provinces. If he makes great contributions, he will have some hope."
Jia Cong's face was solemn. The battle for the throne was indeed thrilling and was a life-threatening thing. He bet on all his wealth. Now it seems that the King of Qin went to Shaanxi to take charge of military power, and Prince Zhongshun was in the capital again. King Yu went to Henan. The emperor's thoughts were really hard to guess. It turns out that if the king was not close, he would lose his ministers. He had already caused the emperor to be dissatisfied once, so he must save him.
"There is another thing. When Jiang Huajiao dies, the Jiangzuo Alliance will definitely be angry. Do they know what you have had with the Left Governor of the Jinyiwei?" Dai Fengxiang's eyes were deep: "If someone knows and makes friends with close servants, it will be a good crime for impeachment."
"I have known Governor Yu for a long time, and every conversation is very secret. It is impossible for Jiangzuo Alliance to know. I don't want to kill all my friends. After all, people are slight, but they always obstruct and ridicule me because of the literati supervisor. They will cause great trouble in the future."
Dai Fengxiang changed his expression to a relaxed expression: "As an official, you must be aware of danger, a retreat, and a disease, and you must be careful."
Jia Cong was also a little tired of the hypocrisy, fighting and disgusting in the officialdom, but some things can be changed, but the laws of nature cannot be changed. Survival of the fittest.
He also thought about developing and strengthening the Shanhai Alliance, but it seems not appropriate at the moment. Emperor Yongle probably had suspicion of Wang Ziteng and Zhao Beidou. Wang Ziteng has high rank and power. Thinking from the perspective of others, he would be afraid of being an emperor. After all, he is in charge of the army surrounded by the outer layer of the capital, so it is difficult for the emperor to be not vigilant. Zhao Beidou was too powerful in the north. The emperor was afraid of him for forming cliques for personal gain. In fact, which dynasty did not have it? It was just that the scale was large and small.
The poetry meeting has established relationships and the process of making friends is coming to an end. Everyone has slowly bid farewell. With Liu Dongsheng, Bi Zhong and Wang Yingyuan, he can still make it to the list of people who will promote it. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, he can at least accumulate experience.
After the meeting, Sun Fu held the account book and happily went back and forth: "Mr. Cong, the three girls in the mansion carved collections of poems, money from calligraphy and painting..."
"From now on, you will take one tenth of my dividends." Jia Cong said that Baochai will not blackmail Sanchun, but can also please her reputation. The key is to share some of it. If he takes care of everything, wouldn't he be exhausted?
When Sun Fu heard this, he bent down and said gratefully: "Mr. Cong still trusts me. In a few years, I will have thousands of wealth and can find a good place to buy a house and marry a wife."
The servants and girls in the Jia family are far older than their masters, and are usually in their early twenties, which is too depressing for them, so Siqi and Pan Youan had an affair in the Grand View Garden.
...
The literary essays of the official wives gradually changed. Jiaoxing didn't understand poetry and followed Jia Yucun, who had a talent, gradually learned some, but he was not as good as Baochai. He chanted a few songs of cuckoos and peonies. Everyone was impressed by Baochai's erudition. Later, the ladies talked about clothes, jewelry, and rouge.
Women's hobbies for these are far more than poetry. Fortunately, Baochai was a royal merchant, so she gave some materials purchased from Jinling Weaving on the spot, and immediately received a thank-you voice.
After the meeting was dispersed, Jiaoxing took off the jade bracelet before leaving, "I'll give this girl Xiangling this, I'm very happy to see."
Xue Baochai nodded and said yes. When everyone left, she found that Gan Xuan, who was on the excuse to get rid of the battle, had not yet come out, so she became suspicious and patrolled the shops on excuses. Now Shanhai Bookstores have to rely on Jia Cong for support. The two shopkeepers all came to the second hall account room. She looked at the account book and said strangely: "Why haven't I seen this kind of counting method before?"
"By grandma, it is the Arabic numerals that the young master said, which are much more convenient and quicker than the original words. You will learn for a few days." Luo Gaocai said respectfully.
Xue Baochai thought, "He still has many things that I don't know."
After watching for a while, she didn't want to stay for too long, so as not to make Jia Cong feel even more grudges. She thought that it seemed that Jia Cong would not let go of any money, and she had never seen the world before. She didn't want to do this. After a moment, Sun Fu handed over Sanchun's list of income and money: "My grandma told me to go back first."
"Let Xiangling stay and serve him and tell your master, don't be too late." Xue Baochai went back in the sedan chair.
Gan Xuan left the toilet and saw a woman coming in from the third hall with a girl. She laughed in her heart: "This writer Jia Xiu is so cute in the golden house, so she pretends to be a gentleman."
She went upstairs as if no one was around. The guy thought it was a guest, but he didn't stop it. Gan Xuan thought for a while and ordered a jar of Shaoxing daughter-in-law red. She took out the yellow wrapped paper from her sleeve, opened it, looked around, and the screen made of paper was separated. No one saw her, so she poured the powder from the paper into the wine jar, shook it, and covered it again.
A slave passed the message and she knew Jia Cong's number of geniuses. In the past, a fat shopkeeper was returning the ransom for the craftsman. It turned out that the craftsman was a craftsman. No matter which craftsman in the province, he had to take turns to serve the court. If he didn't take the job, he had to use money to redeem it. Zheng Yeliao pretended not to see her and walked out. Gan Xuan said seriously: "Thank you, Master, you have worked hard, have a drink with me for a bar."
Jia Cong didn't know what this woman was doing, but she was Madam Yu, so she toasted her a few glasses. Gan Xuan smiled and said, "Master Xiu is good at drinking."
As he said that, he looked at his face and figure and nodded, as if he was very satisfied.
"I have always had a good alcohol tolerance..." Jia Cong suddenly felt dizzy. His eyes gradually became brighter when he looked at Gan Xuan. Sometimes it was Qin Keqing and sometimes it was Xue Baochai. He couldn't help but blush and his ears were hot, and his breathing was rapid.
Gan Xuan knew it was effective, so she stood up and picked up Jia Cong's hand and placed it on her chest. Jia Cong couldn't help but rub it. At this time, another servant went back and forth to Gan Xuan: "My father-in-law is here."
"It's really disappointing!" Gan Xuan looked at Jia Cong unwillingly: "Let's go back and buy me two horns."
