Chapter Two Thirty Three
Shen Wen's proposal is reasonable, and there are precedents to follow, and no one thinks it is inappropriate. Moreover, the emperor obviously thought that this discussion was very good, so no one objected.
Therefore, the next issue became who should be selected as the imperial envoy to visit Jiangnan this time.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Lord Lin's wife is the eldest lady of Jia's family in the capital. She is now the younger sister of Lord Jia of the Ministry of Works. The two families are actually in-laws. Since they are selected to condolences to the imperial envoy, I might as well let Lord Jia go there in person. I think it's not good.
First, Lord Jia is now the father-in-law and the appointment of him as the imperial envoy shows the court's importance to Lord Lin. Second, Lord Jia and Lord Lin were originally close relatives, and the emperor asked Lord Jia to go, which shows the emperor's considerate and loving heart for Lord Lin!"
This was the words of the Minister of Rites, which caught Emperor Zhengqing off guard. He had never told him, and it was obviously what he thought of!
Of course, Emperor Jia Zhengqing knew that after all, he had been a minister under him for eight years, so he probably had an impression.
It was absolutely impossible to complete his mission!
Moreover, if Jia Zheng is elected as the imperial envoy, it is difficult to send another deputy envoy.
"Mr. Shen is worthy of being a loyal minister of the king and country. He is just the emperor who is the emperor, and has just approved the empresses in the harem to return home to visit their relatives. As the biological father of Concubine Jia, Lord Jia should prepare for the empress to visit her marriage at this time. It is probably inappropriate to leave Beijing at this time!
However, Lord Shen gave me a good opinion. This time, Lord Lin’s condolences and imperial envoy is really good to choose someone close to Lord Lin.”
The cabinet minister Cui Wenlong made a name for himself.
When Shen Wen thought, it seemed that this was true. After looking at Jia Zheng in the rear, he suddenly said, "Since Lord Jia is not convenient to leave Beijing, wouldn't it be better to let General Jia come forward? It just so happened that he was a junior of Lord Lin, so it would be more appropriate to go and visit him.
But I heard that Mr. Jia is still young, I don’t know if he can.”
The emperor above saw that Cui Wenlong had almost quietly implemented the plan while he was having a question and answer with the Minister of Rites. He was very happy and said, "It's okay, Jia Qing was young and capable, and the Supreme Emperor even appreciated it.
Now that I have entered the Censorate, it is also good to give me more opportunities to experience.
But what Lord Shen is thinking is reasonable. In this way, after I ordered you and the other two to go down, I will agree to a deputy envoy as accompaniment before tomorrow to do everything.”
The two of them quickly took the order and said that the emperor was wise and wise.
Finally, the emperor looked at Jia Qing’s location and said, “Jia Qing, do you have any objections?”
Jia Qingxin said, you guys asked me after discussing it, how dare I say there is any objection?
He had to kneel down and said, "Thank you, the emperor, and I obey the order."
Rongqingtang, Daiyu's room.
Zijuan walked into the house happily and said to Lin Daiyu, who was sitting on the couch reading: "Girl, do you want to listen to good news?"
Daiyu's eyebrows and eyes drooped, turned her head and said casually: "If you want to say it, just say it."
When Zijuan saw her lady's appearance, she knew that what Yuanyang came over and said to her was probably eavesdropped on Daiyu, so she smiled and said, "I heard that the person who sent the girl back to Yangzhou this time was not Master Lian, but Master Qing, it was Master Qing! Hehe, now the master's illness is going to be cured!"
Daiyu's brows drooped lower first, then turned her head in confusion, looked at Zijuan and asked, "What does this mean?"
Zijuan smiled and said, "This is what Master Qing said. As long as you can return to Yangzhou happily, your master's illness will be cured. Now that Master Qing is sending the girl back, how can his illness be cured?"
"you!"
Daiyu stared at Zijuan: "You don't know what medicine you took wrong. Humph, I know too. It must be that every time you see your second brother, you always take me for fun. In this way, I will give you to your second brother tomorrow to make you happy every day, okay?"
As he said that, Daiyu smiled again.
"The girl just doesn't want me anymore, and there is no place for me in the room. Besides, I can't bear to leave the girl, and the girl can't bear to leave me either. I must be with her." Zijuan said without paying attention.
Daiyu smiled and said, "It would be fine if you said you couldn't bear to leave me, but how did you know that I couldn't bear to leave you either?"
Zijuan didn't answer and laughed, paused, and said, "I heard that the second master was ordered to visit the master in Yangzhou. Then the old lady decided not to let Mr. Lian send the girl, but to let the second master lead the girl south.
I was originally expected to leave tomorrow, but now I have to wait for the itinerary of the Second Master, I am afraid I won’t leave for a while.
The girl should take the opportunity to fully recover her body so that she can follow the second master on the road.
Xueyan, bring the girl’s medicine in hot and serve the girl to drink it.”
Just as Xueyan walked in, Zijuan said to her.
Daiyu said dissatisfiedly: "I've said that I'm already cured and don't take that terrible medicine!"
Zijuan said: "If the girl wants the second master to take care of the girl on the boat, then she will be fine if she doesn't eat it."
Daiyu did not answer, so Xueyan went out of the house to bring medicine to Daiyu.
...
It’s really the plan that cannot keep up with the changes!
In Ningguo Mansion, after Jia Qing talked about the court meeting to Youshi, Qinshi and others, he went to the inner study alone, thinking about how to arrange his affairs to leave the capital.
Because the original plan has been less in charge, most of the hidden dangers and all have to be changed!
The main problem is the construction of the Grand View Garden. Among them, the most important problem is the use of funds.
If the handling is inappropriate, the people from the Jia family can eat all his coffin books based on the Haikou they had praised before!
After planning silently in my heart, I had a rough idea and asked someone to come over to Lai Sheng.
"You told your wife to pack up a good guest room in the front yard, and then you use my sedan chair to go to Mr. Yamakono's residence and invite the old man over.
In addition, call all the housekeepers and deacons in the mansion to Ning'an Hall."
As soon as Lai Sheng entered the door, Jia Qing ordered. He knew that this matter was important and did not dare to delay it. He said "Yes" and stepped down and arranged the matter.
After Lai Sheng left, Youshi and Qin were worried about this, so they also came to see Jia Qing and asked what they needed to prepare.
"You don't need to worry about me. I've been there more than once in Jiangnan, and I'm familiar with it.
I just don't feel relieved of you."
Youshi, Qin Shi was a little embarrassed by Jia Qing's words, Youshi said, "Uncle Second looks down on us too much. We are not children either. What can I worry about if I can do it?"
Jia Qing was not a joke. I don’t know how many months it would take to leave. After he left, there were only two of them, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left in Ningguo Mansion, plus one Jia Rong who was making up for the numbers.
These three people are all not hard. Youshi, Qinshi is not hard, and Jia Rong is not hard.
The Jia family is another place where there are many troubles, and no one will ever control them.
"After I leave, except for worshiping the ancestors and inviting the master back to host the presidency, you should not go anywhere at any time! The birthdays and banquets of other palaces are all pushed on the grounds that the head of the family is no longer there, and only gifts are given.
In the mansion, except for the old lady who invites you, you can go over and have fun, and everyone else can ignore it.
I will arrange the matters of the outer courtyard, and you don’t have to worry about it. If you encounter any difficult things, you either ask the master for advice. If the master doesn’t care, you can go and ask the old lady’s attention. If the old lady is inconvenient, write a letter and don’t send a servant to send it to Lai Sheng. He knows how to deliver it to me as soon as possible."
In fact, the best way is to invite Jia Jing back home to take charge. Unfortunately, according to Jia Qing's judgment, Jia Jing could not come back.
I only talked about Youshi and the other two, but listening to Jia Qing’s nagging instructions, I was filled with emotion.
Jia Qing had to go out if he had something to do, but what he was worried about was not whether they could take charge of the family and whether they could support the official palace, but whether they would be bullied and wronged.
This is so rare and so heart-warming in the world where the name of husband is the sky and men are respected.
Although they didn't think anyone would make things difficult for no reason, it would not hinder the warmth in their hearts, so they all replied gently: "I (my wife) know..."
Seeing this, Jia Qing stopped and was afraid that the too sweet offensive would warm the two of them. Therefore, after finally telling You Shi that after she asked her to leave him, all the restless names in the two mansions were recorded in the black book... Amid the laughter of You Shi and the two of them, they were asked to go back to the house.
