Chapter 47 Jia Zhen comes to ask for an official position

What's going on? Could it be that my father is dying?

Jia Rong's first thought.

"Father, did something happen?"

"That's not true. It's just that the Jia family has reserved a hand in advance. Your second uncle Jia Lian will also go to Beijing to serve."

"Second uncle is also going to Beijing Camp."

"Well, you are much better than him. I will arrange for you to serve as a third-class dragon ban lieutenant in Ouchi. He will lead the army. If there is a war, the danger of the infantry lieutenant will be much greater."

Jia Rong was very reluctant to become a Dragon Guard, but she felt much better when she heard that her second uncle Jia Lian was in a worse situation than herself.

"Father, it's just me and Uncle Lian, there's no one else?"

"What are you thinking? You thought Jingying belonged to the Jia family, and it took a lot of favors to arrange for you two. Is he worthy of the others?"

Jia Zhen also made her words clear. Don't even think about it if it's not for you, let alone mention it if it doesn't do any good.

"Okay, listen to father,"

"Father, this leader is much more dangerous. Can Uncle Lian agree?"

Jia Zhen did not answer, but had a mysterious smile on her face. Jia Rong knew that Uncle Lian had not run away. In the end, it was still our uncle and nephew.

"You can continue drinking. You must not drink alcohol when on duty in the future. Besides, it won't take long to prepare in the past few days."

"Yes, father."

After Jia Zhen explained, she walked out and paused at the door.

"Be careful with everything."

It was the first time for Jia Rong to see Jia Zhen looking kindly to him, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

By the evening of the second day,

Jia Zhen took the time to hand a sign to Xiaohuangmen in Da Nei, asking to see Dai Quan, the eunuch.

Coincidentally, Dai Quan was planning to arrange someone at the Ministry of Works to take charge of the renovation of the Hou Mansion, so he thought of the Jia family. It happened that the emperor was still thinking about Jia Zheng, so Dai Quan wanted to arrange something for Jia Zheng to do.

, after the New Year, this is an opportunity to move up the ranks.

Unexpectedly, the Rongguo Mansion did not come, but the Ningguo Mansion came. Cheng said the same thing and agreed to discuss it in a house outside the capital.

This foreign residence is the home of the eunuchs in the palace in the capital. Marrying wives and servants is not bad, and nobles are accustomed to it. Dai Quan even used this place to sell titles and officials to amass huge wealth.

After receiving the letter, Jia Zhen came to Dai Mansion with gifts. From a distance, she saw Xiao Huangmen waiting at the gate. Jia Zhen walked quickly to Xiao Huang Gate and stuffed broken silver in her hand.

"I have troubled my little father-in-law to wait for a long time."

The little eunuch shook it in his hand and replied with a smile on his face;

"Soon, soon, our ancestors have already given a banquet to wait for the general, please."

Jia Zhen followed the little eunuch into the house, walked through the nine-winding corridor and the colorful courtyard, and finally arrived at the main room. Jia Zhen arranged her clothes in front of the door, then pushed the door open and entered.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw all kinds of luxurious decorations. After walking a few steps inside, he saw that a banquet had already been set up in the center of the room. Dai Quan was also sitting on the main seat. Jia Zhen hurried over.

path of reparation;

"Interior Minister, I apologize for keeping you waiting for so long."

"It's not too late, it's not too late. Come sit down and let us have a drink."

"Thank you, Prime Minister,"

Jia Zhen quickly stood up and poured Dai Quan a glass of wine, then went around and filled it up for herself;

"Interior Minister, it's really a sin for Jia Zhen to bother you to come out of the palace in person. I'd like to drink this cup first as a token of respect."

Jia Zhen raised her head and drank it all, then filled herself up with another glass. She wanted to drink more, but was stopped by Dai Quan.

"What are you doing? We are all old friends. There is no need. Sit down and have something to eat."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

The two of them used their chopsticks and took a few bites.

Dai Quan asked;

"Brother Zhen, where are you from? What can you do if you come to me? What's going on in Ningguo's house recently? What happened in the house?"

How can Jia Zhen dare to admit it? She can't say anything if she has something.

"You have misunderstood, Internal Minister. I want to give my useless son Jia Rong a certain position so that he can calm down and find a wife after he settles down."

Dai Quan really didn't expect this to happen, but he also wondered, wouldn't it be easy to arrange someone with the Jia family's strength in the capital camp, so why did he come to find him?

"What are you talking about? Ningguo Mansion can't arrange the positions? This Beijing camp doesn't belong to your Jia family."

Jia Zhen's face turned pale after hearing this, and she was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly;

"Don't be ridiculous, Minister. This one belongs to the emperor. I'm just an idle general. Besides, this Jiedushi is from the Wang family. Our Ningguo Mansion is not someone's in-laws."

Dai Quan suddenly understood in his heart that the Ning Rong and Ning Rong families were not so united. That's right, they had separated a long time ago. Besides, the brothers were about to reach the fifth server.

"Okay, tell me, how do you want to arrange it?"

Jia Zhen is in a bit of a dilemma. She doesn't know if there is still a place for the Dragon Guard. If there is no place, she can only become an ordinary guard. This.

"Interior Minister, is there still a quota for the Grand Inner Dragon Imperial Guard?"

"What a good boy, you came here to get a good position. Why don't you go to Beijing Camp?"

"Internal Minister, you also know that Ningguo Mansion is a single-generation family, and there is no peace outside. That kid has no ability. What if someone in Ningguo Mansion does something wrong?"

"Well, that's true, the sword has no eyes."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your understanding. In this way, Jia Zhen is toasting you."

After saying that, Jia Zhen drank all the wine in her hand.

Dai Quan saw that Jia Zhen really wanted to arrange a future for his son, so he motioned for Jia Zhen to sit down.

"Okay, I know your sincerity. Wait, let me think about it. It just so happens that there is a good thing. Now the three hundred members of the Imperial Guard are short of two."

After Dai Quan said this, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Jia Zhen, not knowing the hint, took out a 2,000 tael of silver notes from her sleeve and placed it on the table.

Dai Quan said without taking it;

"Yesterday, the third brother of the Marquis of Xiangyang in the south also came to me to beg me and wanted to help his son have a future. Now he took 8,000 taels of silver and sent it to my house."

"You know that we and the nobles in Beijing are all old friends. No matter what, for his grandfather's sake, I didn't feel embarrassed and agreed casually, and then I took another five thousand and two here.

Give me the banknote, but I will reluctantly accept it."

"There is still one vacancy left, and I don't know who revealed the news. Knowing that Fatty Feng, the Yongxing Jiedushi envoy, also came to ask for a donation with his child, I had no time to respond to him, and I didn't even look at how much I weighed.

2. Since Brother Zhen of Ningguo Mansion wants it, it belongs to Brother Zhen. Bring Jia Rong’s resume and I will take care of it."

When Jia Zhen heard that, she immediately took out Jia Rong's resume from her sleeve, along with a banknote of 10,000 taels. Although it was not as many as the Marquis of Xiangyang, Dai Quan didn't care, so he took the banknote and Jia Rong's resume directly.

In their arms, both of them were in a good mood, and they added a few more dishes and started eating.

"Brother Zhen, do you know the situation in Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Zhen was a little stunned after hearing this, and paused with the chopsticks in her hands. Dai Quan also smiled when he saw Jia Zhen's reaction;

"Why, are you surprised?"

"That's not true. Why did the Internal Minister think of asking about the Rongguo Mansion? Although I am a member of the Jia family, I belong to the two houses after all. I don't know some things."

"Oh, that's right."

"Yes, Interior Minister."

"That's fine, but you always go to Rongxi Hall when you have nothing to do. Don't you understand this?"

Dai Quan directly pointed out the whereabouts of Jia Zhen's going to court. The Imperial City Secretary was not someone who only wanted to do nothing.

Jia Zhen broke out in cold sweat after hearing this. She knew that Dai Quan, who was in charge of the Imperial City Department, knew the whereabouts of most of the officials, especially those in the Xungui Mansion.

"The Prime Minister Ming Ming saw the old lady these few times, and she was all brought by the Rongguo Mansion. How dare I, a junior, disobey her? I don't dare."

Dai Quan thought for a moment, and that was true. Let alone Mrs. Shi of the Rongguo Mansion, he himself did not dare to be disrespectful. Jia Zhen really couldn't object to what Jia She and Jia Zheng said.

"Okay, that's all I'm asking, look at you, come and have a drink."

Jia Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp to calm herself down.

"Interior Minister, what can I do for you?"

"Well, it's true. I need help from Jia Zheng, the second master of Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Zhen also thought that she had heard wrongly and asked Jia Zheng to help. The second uncle was very pedantic, so he had to ask clearly what was going on.

"Internal Minister, why do you want my second uncle to help you with this matter? He just holds a casual position in the Ministry of Works. Why don't you let me help the Internal Minister?"

"As long as you have this intention, you really can't help with this matter,"

Dai Quan was a little funny. He also said that the Jia family had no contact, so he jumped out at once, but you really can't help with this matter.

"Inner Minister, just tell me, this can't help. Unless the second uncle is writing articles and poems, you won't really ask my second uncle to write poems and articles, Internal Minister."

Jia Zhen was a little dumbfounded, this really couldn't help.
