In the following period, good news came back from various prefectures and counties in Northern Zhili from time to time.

The warehouses of the patrol camp gradually became richer, including gold, silver, treasures, food and horses, and so on.

With the in-depth patrol camp and the suppression of bandits, the security around the capital has improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only did the gangsters who often wandered around stick to their duties, but even some of the dandy boys from the eunuch families seemed to be a lot more honest and had temporarily put away their arrogant and domineering temper, which was an unexpected gain.

It is precisely because of this that Jia Yun's reputation slowly spread.

Many people also laughed and said that Jia Yun had a similar story to his ancestor Cao Ah Man, who set up a five-color list when he was a captain in the north of Luoyang, and both made the public security in the capital clean.

Jia Yun has heard this joke more than once.

Every time he heard it, he smiled and didn't care about other people's ridicule.

In the dog days of summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

In the morning, Jia Yun patiently watched the scribes at the military camp seize the goods that had just been delivered and put them in the treasury, then rode home without stopping.

As soon as he entered the city gate, he heard someone calling him.

"Master Jia, Master Jia, wait a moment!"

Jia Yun reined in the reins, looked for the sound, and saw the sixth prince Xie Wenxi standing in front of the window of a teahouse, holding up a teacup and nodding at him.

The person shouting was not the sixth prince, but a young man dressed as a scholar.

Jia Yun bowed her hands to the Sixth Prince, hesitated for a moment, got off her horse, threw the rope to Jia Wenlin, and walked towards the teahouse.

"Your Majesty, please!" As soon as we entered the teahouse, the waiter came up to us and led the way sideways.

Jia Yun nodded, picked up the hem of her clothes, and followed the waiter up the stairs.

The sixth prince and the scholar greeted him at the door of the private room. Jia Yun sighed and stepped forward to salute.

"I've met the Sixth Prince!" Jia Yun cupped her hands and said.

The Sixth Prince stepped forward to hold Jia Yun's arm and said with a smile on his face: "I had wanted to find a chance to thank Mr. Jia for a long time, but because Mr. Jia has been busy with official duties, he did not dare to disturb me. Please don't blame me."

"Don't dare!" Jia Yun shook her head and said: "Your Highness, that matter has already been dealt with. Don't mention it again."

The Sixth Prince was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Yes, yes! It's all over. Let's not talk about this matter. Master Jia, please sit inside. There is a fine Dahongpao today. Master Jia must be sure to appreciate it."

Ming one or two."

Jia Yun would not refuse to invite him to tea. She was here anyway.

After a while of greetings, the three of them arrived at the private room, and the Sixth Prince took the opportunity to introduce the scholar to Jia Yun.

The scholar's surname is Li, given name is Shangzhi, and given name is Zhongyu. He is twenty-eight years old. He is from Nanzhili. He is good-looking and has a good reputation. He will also take part in the Enke examination next year.

As for how he got involved with the Sixth Prince, Jia Yun didn't ask, and neither did the Sixth Prince nor Li Shangzhi.

The three of them sat down, and the sixth prince made tea himself and poured it for Jia Yun.

After drinking a few cups of tea and talking about some meaningless words.

Seeing that Jia Yun remained calm, the Sixth Prince was not curious to find out what he wanted from him. He knew that if this continued, Jia Yun might find an excuse to leave.

So, the Sixth Emperor hesitated for a moment, put down his teacup, and said, "May I ask Mr. Jia, what do you think of the Ministry of Revenue's reminder to pay back the silver?"

Jia Yun drank tea slowly and was not in a hurry to reply.

This sixth prince is a very bad person!

Since he cured the sixth prince's illness, the sixth prince has never visited him, and he has never even sent someone to send him some gifts.

Only at the beginning he gave Jia Yun a jade pendant.

Although it is also a priceless royal gadget, after reaching this level, the Sixth Prince's behavior has become a bit like facing forward when using people and facing backward when not using people.

Therefore, Jia Yun had no favorable impression of the Sixth Prince from the bottom of her heart.

In addition, she didn't want to have much to do with these princes and grandsons, so Jia Yun also made up her mind to act stupid and not get involved in their affairs.

"I'm afraid your highness asked the wrong person? As a censor of the Five Cities, how can I have the opportunity to come into contact with the official affairs of the Ministry of Revenue? Therefore, it is not easy to comment on the Ministry of Revenue's reminder to pay the arrears of silver." Jia Yun replied calmly.

road.

To put it bluntly, the relationship between the two is not enough to discuss ordinary matters, let alone such a sensitive topic.

Jia Yun didn't know what the sixth prince was thinking, so she came to ask him about this topic without knowing the importance.

After pondering for a moment, Jia Yun put down her teacup without waiting for the Sixth Prince to speak, stood up and cupped her hands and said:

"I've drank this tea too. Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness. I'm busy with official duties, so I'll take my leave first!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

"Hey!" The sixth prince stretched out his hand and wanted to chase him out, but he held back.

Li Shangzhi frowned and said, "Your Highness, isn't this Jia Yun too arrogant and rude?"

"If you have the ability, you will naturally dare to be rude to me." The sixth prince took a breath and said calmly.

Jia Yun didn't give him face and didn't even want to talk to him too much, which made him very dissatisfied.

But he had nothing to do with Jia Yun. Not only did Jia Yun have a close relationship with the emperor, but he was the censor of the city. He could hear about things and impeach anyone, so he was not so easy to mess with.

Li Shangzhi was quite jealous because Jia Yun, at such a young age, was the same as him and held an important position.

What about yourself?

Apart from having the title of Juren, he is not even considered as an aide to the Sixth Prince.

Comparing the two, it's strange that Li Shangzhi feels comfortable.

After thinking about it, Li Shangzhi said: "Your Highness, the emperors are now racking their brains in order to settle in the household department. On our side, Jia Yun's path is not feasible. What should we do next?"

"What do you think?" The sixth prince glanced at him and asked.

Li Shangzhi hesitated for a moment and said: "Yesterday, the housekeeper of Beijing County Prince's Palace came to speak to the students and wanted to join forces with His Highness. Your Highness can consider it."

The sixth prince glared at him and said angrily: "Are you confused? Don't you know that your father is dissatisfied with the Prince of Beijing?"

"How could it be? Isn't it rumored that the emperor is wooing the Prince of Beijing?" Li Shangzhi frowned.

The Sixth Prince pursed his lips and said, "That's not called wooing, that's called pretending. My father wants to slowly relieve the Prince of Beijing, so he has to do this."

Seeing that Li Shangzhi wanted to ask more questions, the sixth prince threw the teacup on the table, stood up, and said expressionlessly:

"Don't ask again. I thought you were a promising person, but now it seems that you are nothing more than that. If I give you another month, if you can't think of a way to let Gu Gu live in the household department, you won't come to the palace from now on."

After saying that, the Sixth Prince ignored Li Shangzhi and left angrily.

Li Shangzhi froze on the spot, and after a while, he threw the tea cup on the ground with a bang. His face turned black, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth: "I am so angry!"

"Sir, please give me thirty taels of silver, plus five taels of teacup money." After hearing the voice, the waiter outside quickly rushed in and said softly.

Li Shangzhi became even more angry. He pointed at the waiter and shivered. After a while, he reluctantly took out a banknote from his arms.

…

Jia Yun did not go to the Yamen to run errands and went home directly.

After returning from outside the city, she was covered in ashes. Jia Yun took a bath and changed into a loose thin shirt.

People were coming and going in the yard, all busy preparing for August 15th tomorrow.

In the room, Jia Yun said to Xue Baochai: "I will send a message this afternoon asking my mother-in-law and brother Xue to come over tomorrow. What do you do?"

"How can you really let them come over during this Mid-Autumn Festival? We should go there." Xue Baochai lightly hit Jia Yun and said with a smile.

Jia Yun was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "Uh, that's right. Brother Xue brings his mother-in-law to our house every time. It's become a habit."

"Then you agree to go to Xue's house tomorrow?" Xue Baochai said happily.

Jia Yun nodded and said: "Of course I want to go. This is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so there is no reason not to go."

Xue Baochai nodded and said with a smile: "Well, the Nu family will arrange for Ying'er to go to the Xue family to deliver a message to her mother and brother so that her mother and brother can be prepared."

"I have to be busy too. I will prepare the gifts this afternoon and send them out early tomorrow morning." Jia Yun stretched and said.

He has fellow disciples, classmates, colleagues, tutors, teachers, masters, and clan elders in the capital, all of whom want gifts.

Of course, there will definitely be many people giving him gifts tomorrow, but he won't be able to receive them in person, so he can only let Ni'er be responsible for receiving them.

After Xue Baochai ordered Ying'er to go to Xue's house to report the news, he turned around and said, "Then I will be responsible for preparing the gifts for my parents' house tomorrow. In this way, there will be no delay. What do you think, husband?"

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Jia Yun nodded.

…

Rongguo Mansion, Sister Feng's Courtyard.

In the room, Wang Xifeng was confused when she saw Ping'er leading some maids to bring in some mooncakes, watermelons, apples, plums, grapes and other seasonal fruits.

After the maids retreated, Ping'er whispered: "Xinren brought this just now. He said that these are fresh fruits and are much more delicious than those on the market."

"In addition, if Xiren is carrying Baochai, it means that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and today the monthly calendar will be issued one month earlier."

Wang Xifeng nodded and told Ping'er: "Okay, you divide these fruits and melons and send them to each room! By the way, take the monthly silver with you."

Ping'er nodded, stretched out his fingers, picked up a mooncake, divided it into two halves, handed half to Wang Xifeng, and said with a smile: "Try the mooncakes from Mr. Yun's house, they are better than the ones at our house."
