The two of them talked casually, and before they knew it, it was afternoon.
Then I heard a commotion outside the courtyard, but it was Qin Ye who was back.
Jia Heng couldn't sit still anymore, so he walked out of the flower hall with Qin Zhong, walked to the eaves of the corridor, and looked up to see Qin Ye.
Qin Ye was dressed in court attire and a black gauze hat. He had just returned from the Ministry of Industry and looked tired. Qin Ye was a doctor in the Ministry of Industry working as a food and cleaning officer and was usually very busy.
"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law." Jia Heng saluted and said with cupped hands.
Qin Ye glanced at Jia Heng with complicated eyes. He was working in the Department of Affairs of the Ministry of Industry today and met his colleagues and friends, Zhu Yuanmao, who was appointed to the engineering department. This gentleman suddenly congratulated him, leaving him a little confused.
After careful questioning, it turned out that it was an edict circulated by the cabinet in the morning, and it was sent to the Sixth Section of the Department for Shizhong. When this colleague and friend saw the name Jia Heng on it, he suddenly remembered that the invitation he received the day before yesterday said it was written by
"But Jia Heng is just a side branch of the Ning Kingdom. How did he win the title? Moreover, Jia Zhen was imprisoned in Jingzhao Yamen Prison just the day before yesterday." Qin Ye was puzzled and thought he should ask his son-in-law.
Is it a blessing or a curse?
Qin Ye said: "A good son-in-law does not need to be polite. I have something to ask you."
When Jia Heng heard this, he was surprised for a moment, looked at Qin Ye, with some suspicion in his mind, and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Yue Zhang."
Qin Ye nodded, first entered the flower hall, sat down, and the maid served him tea. He looked at Jia Heng with complicated eyes and said, "Xianxiang, what happened to the title of Ningguo? How come you inherited it?"
When Jia Heng heard this, his face paused slightly, but his thoughts turned out to be true.
Emperor Chongping's imperial edict came so quickly.
His father-in-law knew it. Apparently Emperor Chongping's decree had been delivered to the Sixth Department. This was... an edict?
But at this moment, the bead curtain rustled, and a soft and charming voice sounded, "Ning Guo's title?"
Qin Keqing walked out through the curtain, first bowed to her father, then looked at her husband with a pair of shining eyes, and said softly: "Husband, weren't you expelled from Ningguo?"
Qin Ye: "???"
Jia Heng said: "The variable is here. It is the emperor's will. I don't know whether expulsion can be achieved."
The more Qin Ye listened, the more confused he became, and asked: "What do you mean by expelling one's nationality? What is the emperor's intention?"
Jia Heng looked at Qin Ye and explained: "Jia Zhen previously lost her title because she colluded with bandits and wanted to kidnap Ke Qing. The Jia family thought it was me and wanted to expel me from the family."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Ye's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? Being expelled from your clan is not a joke, but do you know, sir?"
Qin Keqing said: "Dad, my husband has told me that this matter was originally caused by the Jia family's fault. My husband has a solution. Even if he is expelled from the family, there is nothing wrong with it."
When Qin Ye heard this, his face froze. Looking at his daughter, a sentence suddenly came to his mind, a daughter who is married is the water she throws away.
Jia Heng added: "The Holy One couldn't bear the loss of the Jia family's title. In addition, the son-in-law wrote a volume of manuscripts, which caught the Holy One's eyes. The day before yesterday, he summoned him to the palace to ask questions. Longyan was very pleased and gave him twenty pieces of Su brocade, but the title
My son-in-law doesn’t know why.”
Speaking of which, Emperor Chongping issued the imperial edict quite quickly, but what about the twenty pieces of Su Jin?
Why hasn't the shipment arrived yet?
The Su brocades were sent to the palace as a special gift from the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River. Although twenty pieces were not worth much silver, they were still a gift from the emperor.
Hearing this, Qin Ye was speechless for a long time. Suddenly he remembered something and asked: "Manuscript, what manuscript?"
Jia Heng said: "The manuscript of the Three Kingdoms should be available in the market in two days."
Not mentioning the conversation between Weng and his son-in-law, it was said that Lin Zhixiao and several servants of Ningguo Mansion came to Jia Heng's house on Ningrong Street in a hurry. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he asked Qingwen who was staying at home anxiously, saying: "The patriarch
Woolen cloth?"
Qingwen blinked her eyes, Guazi's face was full of confusion.
Lin Zhixiao quickly changed his words: "Qingwen, is this Uncle Heng?"
"Today is the day of Guining. The young master has accompanied grandma back to her parents' home." Qingwen held a bunch of hair that fell on her front and raised her smooth and white chin.
When Lin Zhixiao heard this, he ordered the boy behind him to go back and report the news, and said, "Where is your mother's family?"
Qingwen shook her head slightly, looked at the large number of anxious people in the Jia family, and said, "I don't know about this."
After saying that, he twisted the water snake's waist and left.
Lin Zhixiao secretly cursed this little hoof. Even Lin Zhixiao, who was known as deaf and mute, was forced to do so by Qingwen.
Fortunately, a servant caught the maid Bi'er and asked: "Little girl, do you know where your grandma's natal family is?"
Bi'er thought for a while and gave an address.
Lin Zhi didn't do any nonsense, and left with the young man in full swing.
Qingwen walked to the eaves of the corridor and watched Lin Zhixiao go away. She curled her lips. This man had no good intentions every time he came to see the young master. She just didn't say anything on purpose.
Jia's Ancestral Hall
"Where is the clan leader?" Jia Zheng asked with a frown as he asked the boy who was running over.
"The patriarch took his wife to Guining?"
"Guining?"
The people of the Jia clan looked strange when they heard this. Return to Ning? Come back and take over the Ningguo Mansion?
Jia Mu also sighed, feeling powerless in her heart.
Once the imperial edict was issued, it was inevitable to disobey the destiny, but she had other ideas.
The title will be inherited by the concubine of the side branch. However, one cannot let the concubine of the side branch take away the huge family property of Dongfu. There are some things that must be explained to the concubine of the side branch in advance.
Ningguo Mansion is not only a title, but also a land and house deed, and a shop business. It can be said that these things were originally integrated.
The inheritance of the ancients was a dual inheritance of identity and property, while the inheritance of future generations only inherited property.
Jia's mother's current thinking is that the title was given by the Emperor, and it is already cheap enough for Jia Heng. If even the furniture accumulated by the Ningguo lineage falls into the hands of those evil people, Ningrong's second house will definitely be in trouble.
.
At this moment, not only Jia Mu was thinking this way, but also Jia She who was standing beside her had a gloomy face and anger surging in her heart.
He will never allow this huge inheritance to fall into the hands of that slutty kid!
Mrs. Wang's face also had a gloomy look, and the knuckles of the hand holding the Buddhist beads in her sleeve were white.
There was no question of whether her precious jade could inherit the family fortune of the West Mansion, but now the East Mansion was completely given to Jia Heng?
It's simply...unjust.
Sister Feng's jade face was faint, Danfeng's eyes were flowing, and she was observing the words and expressions. She obviously saw the importance of this, and thought to herself: "Even if Jia Heng receives the imperial edict and attacks Jue, there will still be trouble!"
Youshi pursed her lips tightly and sighed secretly in her heart. After Jiaheng attacked the prince and took over the Ningguo Mansion, she would also be kicked out of the Ningguo Mansion, right?
Everyone in the Jia family had different thoughts for a while.
Dai Quan watched from the side and sneered secretly in his heart. The people in the Jia Mansion were asking Xia Shouzhong, who was beside the empress, to climb a high branch. Didn't he think his father-in-law Dai didn't know?
Qin Mansion, in the Flower Hall
After listening to what Jia Heng said, Qin Ye was silent for a long time and asked solemnly: "Xian son-in-law, you have now fallen into the eyes of the emperor? What should be the next step?"
He had been in officialdom for half his life, and was in his sixties. After many twists and turns, he became a doctor in the Ministry of Industry. However, the young man in front of him was lucky enough to be promoted to the emperor because of his manuscripts. It was a great pleasure for a young powerful man to suddenly ascend to a high position.
Qin Ye couldn't express what he felt in his heart.
Jia Heng sighed and said, "My father-in-law, I didn't want to attack this prince."
When Qin Ye heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "A good son-in-law, don't do stupid things. The Holy Emperor's grace is great. If you disobey the will, I'm afraid that good things will turn into bad things."
Qin Keqing on the side also cast a concerned look.
Jia Heng pondered: "Now that the emperor's edict has been issued and spread widely at home and abroad, it is indeed difficult to say no, but it is not absolute."
At this moment, a servant of the Qin Mansion came from the courtyard, stood under the eaves of the corridor, and said with cupped hands: "Sir, a man claiming to be the steward of the Rongguo Mansion came outside the door. He asked to see my uncle, and said that the angel in the palace had sent an edict to my uncle to go to Ning.
The government ancestral hall receives the decree."
Qin Ye frowned and said, "Xian son-in-law, people from Ning Mansion are here to hurry you up."
Qin Keqing's beautiful face showed concern and said: "Husband...it's better not to disobey the imperial edict."
Lin Zhixiao was obviously not stupid. He knew that Jia Heng was probably unwilling to return to Ning Mansion, so he directly moved out the imperial edict. No matter how strong you Jia Heng is, you can't resist the edict, right?
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Let him wait for me for a quarter of an hour. I will arrive later."
Naturally, he would not resist the imperial edict in name, but that did not mean that he would not express his feelings to the emperor and seek a turning point.
Otherwise, the people in Jia's family would come to him and leave as soon as he was summoned. What do they think of him?
He even had some guesses as to what the people in the Jia family were thinking at this moment. Most likely, they would only allow him to inherit the title and not touch the family property of the Duke of Guo.
Such thoughts...
When the servant turned around and went back to Lin Zhixiao, facing Qin Ye's worried eyes, Jia Heng said loudly: "Master Yuezhang, do you have a copy of the memorial here?"
His father-in-law was also a fifth-rank official in the imperial court, so it was impossible that he did not prepare some blank memorials in his study for writing.
Qin Ye was stunned for a moment and said, "What does the virtuous son-in-law want to do?"
Jia Heng said: "If the name is not right, then the words will not be right. I sincerely do not want to inherit this title, and the people of the Jia clan do not want to see it. Since the two are not compatible, they will compete with each other. Although I do not want the emperor to take back his destiny, I just want to
I am willing to make my mind clear."
He still wanted to try it.
He would try to refuse this title, and even if he couldn't refuse it, he could still stop the Jia clan members from talking about it in the future.
Back then, Li Mi was summoned by Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty to be the crown prince. Li Mi made a touching statement. At that time, no one said that Li Mi resisted the imperial edict, but instead he created a story that will last forever.
He wanted to write a "Resignation List", so what if the emperor's will was announced to the world?
As long as the flowers and flowers he wrote in his memorials were touching and heartfelt, they might not be able to change the emperor's mind. As for the edict becoming famous both at home and abroad, it was precisely evidence that he did not want to sit back and enjoy wealth and honor, and was high-spirited and upright.
The world will only look up and look up, and they can't even say anything about the direct invitation, because they don't want this incoming title.
The history of Qing Dynasty is Zhao Zhao, which is another good story.
"In the fourteenth year of Chongping, the emperor took pity on Ning Guo and lost his title because of his crimes. He wanted to attack him with Jia Heng, a side branch. However, Heng refused. He was virtuous, filial, and did not seek fame and position. From the beginning, he was well-known throughout the country..."
In fact, if the emperor wants to use him as a sharp sword to deal with the four princes and eight princes, can he really succeed?
He personally believed that it could not be accomplished because the military system of Chen and Han had been ruined for more than one day.
In particular, pushing him to that position and letting him face the criticism from the Jia clan is like an emperor playing chess regardless of the ideas of the chess pieces.
Then the idea of the chess pieces is that if a man has fame and wealth, he can take the three-foot sword and get it for himself!
And as soon as this table comes up, if nothing unexpected happens, the emperor will summon him.
