Chapter 727 Zhen Qing: No, she is also doing it for the Zhen family!
In the wing room, a lamp is as bright as a bean, and the orange candlelight casts a long and beautiful figure on the screen.
Jia Heng and Dai Yu stood hugging each other, pouring out their plans in their hearts. They lowered their eyes and looked at the shy Dai Yu, whose cheeks were as bright as fire. They looked at the shy Dai Yu and said softly, "Sister, are you still worried now?"
As for the question of status, as the saying goes, as long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
Daiyu felt sweet in her heart, and her thoughts were completely settled. She leaned her head against Jia Heng's arms and whispered: "Brother Heng, I'm not worried at all. It's good that Brother Heng knows what's going on."
Jia Heng lowered his eyes and looked at Daiyu, who had bangs in the air, and said softly: "Since my sister said so, I don't have to worry."
"Brother Heng." Daiyu said angrily, her face red with embarrassment.
Jia Heng gently caressed the pretty face, Shadow came closer, pursed his soft lips, and captured the sweetness.
After a while, Daiyu's eyes were as bright as water. She gently touched Jia Heng's hand, which was shepherding sheep, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, stop making trouble."
Jia Heng sniffed the fragrance between Daiyu's hair and whispered: "My sister is a little thin. The medical book says that if she is too thin, it will be detrimental to the heirs."
If you want to have a child in the future, you should also pay attention to pregnancy preparation.
Daiyu's cheeks were as beautiful as peach pistils, and she softly said "hmm" in her mouth. It was difficult to say anything, but she felt that the embarrassing things she had encountered today were a bit more embarrassing than those she had experienced in her whole life.
Jia Heng took a look at the sky outside and said, "I won't talk about this story today. My sister has been on the boat all the way. I think she is tired. She should rest early."
After leaving the courtyard where Daiyu was, she came to the front yard and heard Qingwen saying that Jia Rong was waiting for her in the flower hall.
At this moment, Jia Rong was sitting in the flower hall, waiting anxiously.
Suddenly, I heard brisk footsteps coming from under the eaves of the corridor. I looked up and saw the tall and tall young man in straight green clothes walking into the side room. He quickly stood up to greet me and said, "My nephew has met Uncle Heng."
Jia Heng looked at Jia Rong. This young man had a simple figure, but his rosy face seemed to have just come back from drinking somewhere. He nodded and said, "Sit down."
Jia Rong thanked him quickly, sat down and said, "Unknown Uncle Heng sent someone to summon me. What are your orders?"
Jia Heng asked: "Brother Rong, you have been living in Jinling for a year now. What are your plans?"
Jia Rong was startled for a moment, then a flattering smile appeared on her handsome and fair face, and asked: "What is Uncle Heng's plan?"
"Let's not talk about starting a family. Your father has just passed away, and your filial piety has not faded. So let's talk about starting a career. You have lived in Jinling for a long time, do you have any ideas?" Jia Heng picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
He took a sip of tea and asked.
Although Jia Rong was also a lackey and a frivolous playboy, he was relatively less courageous. He asked some questions to show that the clan leader was not guilty of the past, and that was all.
Hearing this, Jia Rong couldn't decide what the person opposite was thinking, so she could only say with a smile on her face: "Uncle Heng, my nephew is not good at literature or martial arts, so I don't have any other ideas."
Jia Heng pondered and said: "Nowadays, many branches of the clan are serving in the army. They have served as generals in Henan before. Some of them have even become sixth-grade military attachés. If you join the army, I still have many good places to go here."
As the concubine branches of the Jia family have risen one after another, the main branch has become deserted, and it is a bit unsightly for him to be so unobtrusive.
Hearing this, Jia Rong's heart trembled, and she felt her hands and feet were cold, and she quickly said: "Uncle Heng, you know me, how could I have done those things of beating and killing? When I saw the blood, I shivered all over.
Went to the battlefield."
If you lose your life in the army, then whoever wants to join the army will do so.
Jia Heng put down the tea cup and asked, "Then what do you do for a living now?"
Jia Rong said: "If you go back to Uncle Heng, the clan uncle here will take care of it and let me take over two villages and a shop. I usually collect rent and so on. My nephew still knows how much he weighs."
With the money, he could go to the Qinhuai River's painted boats with his disciples from Jinling. This was much better than going to the army to lick blood.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "Since you like this, it's good to have a good life. When the period of filial piety is over, let your mother arrange a marriage for you, so that you can start a family and start a career."
Jia Rong said quickly: "Uncle Heng, do you have other instructions?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "It's okay, let's go."
Jia Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed respectfully to Jia Heng and left.
Jia Heng looked at Jia Rong's back, shook his head, and said nothing again all night.
…
…
The next day, in the Zhen family manor, in the beautifully decorated study room, several people were sitting on pearwood chairs.
Zhen Yingjia is not wearing official robes, but is wearing a tawny official uniform. He is sitting on the imperial chair. He is about fifty years old, with a fair face, a gray beard under his chin, silk-like eyebrows, a nose like a jade beam, and an elegant appearance like a scholar.
.
Sitting on the lower side is a middle-aged man wearing military officer robes, a mountain crown, and a serious face. He is Zhen Yingjia's younger brother Zhen Shao and his son Zhen Jue.
Sitting on one side of Zhen Shao is Zhen Zhu, a middle-aged man who is nearly forty years old, and behind him is his son Zhen Lin.
As for Zhen Yingjia's second brother, he is helping the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau to supervise the silk business and has not come over yet.
On the chair on the right side, sit the two sisters Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue. The two princesses have beautiful hair, elegant buns, hibiscus jade faces, thin eyebrows with willow leaves, bright clothes, and green skirts.
Zhuwei.
Compared with the charming and fragrant demeanor when she was obsessed with Jia Heng, although her every frown and smile were gorgeous, graceful and elegant, her dignified and beautiful charm was because she was a prince, a prince and a princess.
It seems awe-inspiring and inviolable.
As for Zhen Qing's beautiful neck, an emerald necklace shone brightly, reflecting the white and greasy skin. A heart-shaped pendant was swinging between the full moon, which was as round as snow.
Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue had already met Mrs. Zhen who was lingering on the sickbed last night. Today, after eating, they were discussing matters with Zhen Yingjia. However, the person who spoke was still Zhen Qing, and Zhen Xue just sat aside and listened.
Under Zhen Qing's slender eyebrows, her beautiful eyes with eye shadow were shining, and she asked softly: "What did father think about last night?"
After meeting Mrs. Zhen yesterday, Zhen Qing briefly mentioned some of Jia Heng's ideas. The general idea was that Uncle Yongning wanted to rectify the camp in the south and north of the Yangtze River. Where would the Zhen family go? They would help the Nanjing Military Department and the Governor's Office of Liangjiang to fight together.
The pair of monarchs and ministers, Chongping and Yongning, still actively cooperated in an attempt to gain leverage for their escape in the future.
Zhen Yingjia frowned and said, "Your grandmother also mentioned this matter last night. It is necessary to make plans in advance. But is it just that Uncle Yong Ning can speak better than the prince in front of the Holy Lord?"
There are no stupid people in the world. Even if Zhen Yingjia was dazzled by wealth, Mrs. Zhen, who suffered a lot in her youth, never thought about the "future".
Zhen Qing said softly: "Father, Uncle Yongning is a rising star in recent years. In the past year, he has been in the limelight. My father is not in the capital, so I don't know his importance to the emperor."
She thought to herself, her father is also true, what should she say? Could it be said that he is stronger than the prince?
Thinking of this, my heart skipped a beat. The dirty words that bastard asked me the day before yesterday were like a nightmare that I couldn't get rid of.
Zhen Qing suppressed the ripples in her heart, turned to look at Zhen Xue who was sitting quietly beside her, with a beautiful look on her snow-skinned face, listening carefully to the conversation like a good girl, she smiled and asked: "Father
If you don’t believe me, you can ask my sister. My brother-in-law is in the same palace as Jia Heng in the Military Aircraft Department. Was it Uncle Yong Ning who proposed this Military Aircraft Department?”
Zhen Xue and Wen Ning's eyebrows looked a bit unnatural, and a surge of annoyance surged in her heart. Sister did this on purpose, insisting on bringing the prince and that person to question her!
Facing Zhen Yingjia's gaze, the young wife Hua Xin suppressed the strangeness in her heart and spoke in a round and round voice: "Father, Uncle Yongning has just made a great contribution to quelling the chaos. He has been awarded the title of first-class uncle. He is already in the heart of the emperor. His favor and trust are special and extraordinary."
Ministers can be compared, this is the analogy, especially between my Zhen family and the emperor, and Uncle Yongning is also a minister of the Zhu Kingdom, and he relies on many people in the military and military affairs. This is even more rare than our family used to be."
Zhen Qing glanced at Zhen Xue secretly and thought to herself, it seems that her sister understands this sentence of being a minister of the Zhuguo.
My sister is indeed a smart girl with extraordinary knowledge. It is said that she is no less generous than her, but she has a gentle temperament and has no competitive spirit. It is a pity...
As soon as these words came out, most of the faces of the Zhen family were slightly moved. They were not ministers of the Zhuguo, but compared to the Zhen family and the emperor. Such a difference between the emperor and his ministers, the affection will be somewhat weak, but if it is mixed with other emotions, at least
It can guarantee the wealth of the family for fifty or sixty years.
Zhen Qing said softly: "I heard that my father is planning to win over my daughter to her,"
Xianning fell in love with that bastard. She vaguely heard some rumors that she even made beds and quilts in the palace regardless of the reputation of her daughter's family, just like a slave.
Speaking of which, she and Xianning can be regarded as sister-in-law and sister-in-law, huh? Sister-in-law and sister-in-law serve the same person?
No, what are you doing thinking about this now? It's all that bastard's fault!
Zhen Yingjia looked solemn and said slowly: "The emperor has a tolerant nature and has always had the ambition to revive. Now he regards Uncle Yongning as his confidant. The Jia family's reputation will not be far away."
Whether it is the old lady or her own daughter, they are all talking about the same thing. The Supreme Emperor may really be unable to bear it anymore and needs to plan for the future.
As in the original work, the Zhen family's hidden treasures are transported to the Jia family, and the relationship between the two families is unusual.
Zhen Shao said in a deep voice: "Brother, in the spring of this year, after the army reorganization in the Beijing camp is completed, the Supreme Emperor seems to have stopped interfering with external affairs. When the chaos in Henan is quickly settled, anyone with a discerning eye will see that the emperor has sole control of the government and there will be no constraints."
Zhen Yingjia sighed. How could he not know? What could he do if he just knew?
His Zhen family was not a member of King Yong at that time, and even had an estranged relationship with King Yong because of the deposed crown prince. Although he spent a lot of effort to marry a daughter to the current King of Chu, he was still regarded as an outsider.
Zhen Zhu sneered and said disapprovingly: "Brother, how much ability can a young man have? It's just based on his surname Jia. It's hard to say whether his achievements will be long-term in the future. Look at the bad battles he fought. What kind of suppression are they?
How can he be praised for his ability to quell bandits and chaos?"
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the fourth master of the Zhen family, Jia Heng was regarded as a pig in the limelight. He was just lucky enough to be favored by Emperor Chongping.
Zhen Yingjia glanced at her fourth brother, frowned, and said, "What's the use of talking about this?"
His fourth brother just felt that his talent was not appreciated, and he was wronged by being a fourth-grade general. There was also the previous loss-making incident of selling rice grains in Huai'an Prefecture, and he was probably also angry.
Zhen Qing's jade-like face was like frost. She glanced at Zhen Zhu with her phoenix eyes. She didn't know why, but she felt a little annoyed.
What do you call this? What do you call a bad war? You stayed in the Jiangnan Camp and were only a general for more than ten years. That bastard is already the Minister of Military and Aircraft. How can you compare?
Huh? No, something seems wrong?
She didn't turn her elbows outward and insisted on speaking for that bastard. She had something to say and couldn't tell lies with her eyes open, right?
He is the envoy of the Beijing camp, the governor of Jinyi, the minister of military aircraft, and the most favored minister in front of the emperor. If he still pretends to be blind, he is extremely stupid!
Zhen Xue also raised her eyebrows, glanced at Zhen Zhu with her beautiful eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She pursed her pink lips, tightened her handkerchief tightly, and the ring on her middle finger shone brightly.
How could the fourth uncle say such things to Zi Yu? How old is Zi Yu? His future prospects are bound to be limitless.
And just when the hall fell into silence because of Zhen Zhu's words, Zhen Yingjia showed thoughts on his old face and asked: "Didn't you still write letters last year? This person is also quite alienated from the King of Chu?"
Mentioning the King of Chu, Zhen Qingfeng's eyes flashed, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She said softly: "Father, at this moment, my sister's Xinxin recognized him as her godfather, and the relationship was much closer than before.
layer, plus the Zhen and Jia families were relatives for decades. They were common people before, so they didn’t know our depth and were worried about being involved in some disaster. Now that we know, the relationship is much better than before, sister.
Am I right?"
It’s hard to say that “today” is not better than in the past…
No, why is she always talking to this bastard today?
No, she is also doing it for the Zhen family!
The young woman Hua Xin quickly calmed down the chaotic thoughts in her heart and said this to herself in her heart.
Zhen Xueming's eyes narrowed, and she was secretly annoyed that her sister was involved with her again, and she was involved in everything to cover up. She said softly: "Xinxin is very popular with him and Mrs. Qin, and he also loves Xinxin along the way.
.”
Zhen Yingjia nodded and said, "It's right for Xinxin to recognize him as his godfather. If it's Chun'er... that would be even better."
If a Jingying Jiedu, a close minister of the emperor, could support the king of Chu, the picture would be too beautiful to even think about.
In fact, this is the reason why the Zhen family is so eager to treat Jia Heng. Who wants to make enemies for no reason?
Zhen Qing sighed softly, and Yu Rong said faintly, "I'm not stupid."
She was so groveling and flattering in every possible way, but that man was unmoved.
Zhen Qing suppressed a hint of reluctance in her heart and said softly: "Father, this opportunity is once in a lifetime. No matter what, my father has the final say on who will be a great man in the future. Our family has reached this point, and if we want to preserve our wealth, we still have to have something."
That’s what you try.”
As Zhen Qing, the spy in the palace, no one understands the crisis faced by the Zhen family better than Princess Chu, but some things cannot be changed by seeing them.
Unless all the farmland and property on which thousands of Zhen family members depend for their livelihood are sold off to make up for the misappropriation of their luxurious life, this is no different from the imperial court issuing an order to confiscate their homes.
The advantage of the Jia family over the Zhen family is that the loser is their own family property, while the Zhen family is a complete servant who deceives the young master, using the convenience of handling affairs to misappropriate the master's money, just like the Lai family did to the Jia family, Xiu Jia
I made a lot of money out of the Grand View Garden.
In fact, in the end, after the family was confiscated in the original work, part of the Zhen family's land was returned, Zhen Baoyu was able to regain her family reputation, and the royal family was considered to be benevolent and righteous.
And Jia Heng chose to "persuade" Zhen Qing as a breakthrough point, which was a love affair between a man and a concubine, and they hit it off immediately.
Zhen Yingjia nodded and said thoughtfully: "This is indeed an opportunity. I have read a lot of Yong Ningbo's deeds in the Di newspaper in recent years, especially around the floods this year. The sage in Beijing almost obeyed his words.
"
He still believed in his eldest daughter's judgment, but he just drew a clear line with the Jiangnan officialdom. It was still difficult to handle in a short period of time, and it was not possible to win the forgiveness of the Supreme Being in Shenjing City by changing his ways.
Zhen Shao pondered for a moment and said: "The princess said yesterday that Uncle Yongning wants to rectify the military equipment of the Jiangnan camp?"
He is now the commander of the battalion and guards, and the next higher level will be an official position such as Jiedu, maybe he can go further?
"It seems that the assassination of the Donglu in Yangzhou was the cause. Yangzhou is still closed for arrests. Jia Heng said that Jiang's defense was empty and he needed to reorganize his military equipment in the south and north of the Yangtze. But I think it was an excuse." Zhen Qing said softly.
"Oh?" Zhen Shao couldn't help but put down the teacup he just picked up and looked at her for questioning.
"The capital camp, the border army, and the emperor are all sending people to rectify the situation. How can the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze be left alone? They will eventually be rectified." Zhen Qing said softly.
Zhen Shao's eyes flashed and he asked: "So, it is imperative that Jiangnan Camp be reorganized?"
"My niece thinks that the situation is so great that she cannot resist it, but how can she maintain her position in this overhaul, or even go further." Zhen Qing said softly, her beautiful eyes condensed under her beautiful eyebrows.
Zhen Shao frowned again and said: "The military discipline of the Jiangnan camp is worse than that of the Beijing camp. There are many parties involved, so it is not easy to take action."
Zhen Qingfeng's eyes sparkled, and she said softly: "So this is our Zhen family's opportunity. If we can help this time, at least we will have feelings for the Holy One."
In the future, the emperor really cannot bear to say anything. There is such a level in pursuing the past. Even if he is dismissed from his post and his family is confiscated, he will be revived in a few years.
As for the money, it's really not high enough. Even if you draw the bones and boil the oil, you can't plug the hole.
Zhen Zhu raised his eyebrows and sneered at the corner of his mouth, saying: "Which one of the Governors of Liangjiang, the Ministry of War, and the Marquis of Annan is easy to mess with? Just a kid with a yellow mouth? He is catching salt merchants in Yangzhou and prospering.
Prison, do you really think it’s a fuel-efficient lamp? Don’t forget, our family also has a stake in the Wang family’s business.”
The inspection envoy of the Jiangnan camp was Annanhou, a martial artist who had made great achievements and was actually a confidant of Emperor Longzhi.
Zhen Qing glanced at Zhen Zhu out of the corner of her eye, feeling increasingly displeased, but the beauty was quite scheming and knew that this was the character of this man. He was ambitious but not talented, and his eyes were too high, but he was his own uncle after all.
After thinking for a while, he explained with a smile: "Don't worry, fourth uncle. My niece thinks this is an opportunity to sell her favors. After all, he is the minister of military aircraft. In the future, my fourth uncle may be able to lead the army, which may be useful. Besides, he agreed to my niece's request.
"
"Why did he agree to you?" Zhen Yingjia asked in surprise, not believing it.
It can be said that no one in the Zhen family or the King of Chu ever doubted Zhen Qing's infidelity, because Zhen Qing has been a proud princess since she was a child. How could Hong Xing cheat on her?
Zhen Qing couldn't say that when the two of them were perfect for each other, the man promised her in her ears and said softly: "Yongning Boxu also knew that Jiangnan's officialdom was deeply entangled, so he thought of joining forces with our family and borrowing our family's strength.
Put the Jiangnan camp in order."
After all, it was a woman with a crystal-clear mind who left the bed. As time passed, she gradually figured out Jia Heng's motive. She was clearly using the Zhen family to pry open the rectification affairs of Jiangnan Camp.
Zhen Yingjia was silent for a moment and said, "What conditions can he offer?"
Although I knew that the Supreme Emperor might have something he couldn't bear to say in the future after passing through Chun Gong Mausoleum today, and he needed to make plans for the future as soon as possible, he couldn't make such a determination all of a sudden, and suddenly turned against the generals and princes in Jiangnan.
Zhen Qing said softly: "He said to organize the Jiangnan camp and leave good jobs for the second uncle and the fourth uncle. If they are used by the navy in the future, the second uncle and the fourth uncle can also be used. Wait for it.
It is possible to achieve great merit and be granted the title of marquis or uncle."
Well, the following words about the title of Marquis and Prince were made up by her.
As the bastard said, after the merits have been achieved, in the future, after the Supreme Emperor and the old Taijun leave one after another, the Zhen family's disaster will not be completely eliminated, but there will still be a chance for recovery. Of course, if she becomes the queen, these will be nothing.
thing.
"What a loud tone." Zhen Zhu sneered, with a sarcastic look on his face.
There is really no hero at all times, it was only the disciple who made Shuzi famous!
I think he was trained in martial arts at a young age and was familiar with the art of war. His life was ruined just because he served as the military attache of the deposed prince for half a year. Since then, he has been suppressed by the old prince and asked him to guard a bunch of broken ships in the south.
The province is subordinate to others, and there are four people in the family. Except for the second brother who does not like to be an official, he is the youngest official.
Zhen Yingjia frowned, glanced at his fourth brother who was too spoiled by his old mother when he was young, and scolded: "Fourth brother, don't speak nonsense."
“I don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is!”
At this moment, from the outside screen, supported by a group of nuns, an old woman with silver hair slowly walked in. She was leaning on a faucet head crutch. There was a serious look on her face with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, even when she was walking.
He was a bit unsteady, and just after he finished speaking, he coughed a few times.
In addition, they were accompanied by Zhen Yingjia's wife Gan, Zhen Shao's wife Sun, Zhen Shao and Zhen Zhu's daughters, Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi.
The two girls are close to the age of hairpins and have young faces. They both wear long plain skirts with lotus flowers and buns with airy bangs. Only the sleeves of the skirts and the collar are embroidered with red peonies, and the other is embroidered with white peonies.
embroidery.
The elder sister Zhen Lan is gorgeous and charming, with peach cheeks and red lips, like a red peony. The younger sister Zhen Xi is gentle and clear, with snow-like skin, like a white peony. At first glance, the facial features are quite similar.
In fact, they are somewhat like the youth versions of Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue, but they are quite different in their innocence, cuteness, and cuteness.
"Mother." Zhen Yingjia quickly stood up from the imperial chair, helped her forward, and asked, "Mother is not feeling well, why don't you go and rest?"
Mrs. Zhen sighed and said: "I want to listen to your discussion. You are worried about your health and mental harm, so you have to come and hear about the life and death of my Zhen family."
