Chapter 897 Gaofeng Liangjie, Lord of Linzi County
"Cheng Shilang."
The little official who went to inquire about the news came back.
Cheng Yuanze glanced at his nephew who was sitting on the side reading a book, frowned and said, "Say it."
The little official said: "Nowadays there are rumors that Mr. and Mrs. Jia went down to Da Ci'en Temple that night, and after talking with the mage, the mage came out and said those words the next day."
Cheng Yuanze was taken aback and waved his hand.
"What does uncle think?"
Guo Xin asked with a smile.
Cheng Yuanze sighed: "This person... is so noble, I am not as good as this old man!"
The news spread quickly.
…
Li Zhi and Wu Mei were dealing with political affairs, and the news reached Wang Zhongliang.
"Your Majesty!"
Wang Zhongliang said cautiously: "There is something."
"explain."
Li Zhi said casually.
"Your Majesty, that night... before His Majesty and the Empress went to Da Ci'en Temple, Duke Jia went there."
Li Zhi raised his head.
Wu Mei raised her head.
"Ping'an and Xuanzang have a bit of sympathy for each other, I said how could he sit idly by knowing Goro's crisis..."
Wu Mei smiled like a flower, "Your Majesty also said at that time that Fang Wai was so powerful that no one would dare to provoke him, so Ping An would go now. No wonder Xuanzang was so talkative that night. It turned out that Ping An first moved him with affection, and then he knew it. Got it."
Li Zhi sighed: "He has a heart. But what did he say?"
What Jia Pingan said that night was somewhat vague.
"It is said that Fang Wai was originally a land of Qingxiu, why did it become a place of wealth and wealth. When Fang Wai's tail is too big to lose, the difficulty of the law is inevitable..."
Li Zhi is silent.
"If it wasn't imminent, who would restrict Fangwai? Those people only have money, food, fields, and population in their eyes. How can they see this. They won't be moved if they say it a hundred times. In the end, they still don't want to give up wealth." Wu Mei smiled and said: "Xuanzang Taking the revitalization of Buddhism as his own responsibility, he can naturally listen to Ping An's words."
My younger brother is like this, so why don't you express it? Wu Mei looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, I am willing to take risks for the sake of the crown prince and the Tang..."
This woman! Li Zhi frowned, "Do you want to reward the Duke?"
This... also works!
But Wu Mei knew that it would be troublesome if she became a Duke, so she said seriously: "Ping An is indifferent to fame and fortune..."
This shrew is rare and reasonable, and I am very relieved.
"But..." Wu Mei said with a smile, "There are two more children in Ping An's family."
"Still young."
Jia Hong and Jia Dong are less than two years old, how can they be rewarded?
"Your Majesty's words are wrong."
Wu Mei felt that the emperor was being picky, "Your Majesty is generous with rewarding the descendants of those dignitaries, why is he not willing to do the same to his own people? Could it be that those dignitaries are helping the royal family? I know that His Majesty is using Juelu to win over and appease those dignitaries, but those dignitaries Which side do you stand on when big things happen?"
In the case of the crown prince blaming Fang Wai this time, most of the dignitaries were pretending to be dead dogs, and they didn't touch either side.
"We are in trouble, and those who help us ignore it, and those who pretend to do nothing will benefit instead. Your Majesty, is this reward and punishment clear? If this continues, it will only chill the hearts of loyal officials."
The queen is right about this matter... This problem has existed in all dynasties.
——People who don’t do **** are euphemistically called “old-fashioned seekers of the country”, and those who work hard are caught in the wrong place and shouted to be killed...In the end, those who don’t do shit, and even those who lag behind get rewards, get promoted and get rich, and those who really do things The end is dismal...
This leads to a lot of officialdom culture, for example: one thing more is worse than one thing less; doing more mistakes is worse than not doing well... Sit firmly on the Diaoyutai... In the end, the country is in twilight, and all prosperity is just a dream.
"I see."
Li Zhi felt a headache.
"If Your Majesty knows, you should wake up..."
"I... know."
Li Zhi felt a splitting headache.
So it turns out that women's nagging is so annoying?
Who dared to nag him in the past? Wu Mei is also a decisive person, but once she starts nagging, even Li Zhi can't stand it.
Li Zhi coughed dryly, "The eldest of the Jia family is going to inherit the title, the second and third are all younger...I forgot..."
Li Zhi's eyes lit up, "That Jia Doudou is said to be fond of Mei Niang?"
Wu Mei smiled and said: "Doudou is really cute, and my concubine loves it very much."
"So, let me think about where it can be titled."
Li Zhi took a look at the queen and found that she was a little annoyed, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty of Linzi County, Wang Zhongliang."
There was a smell of gunpowder between the emperor and empress, and Wang Zhongliang came out cautiously.
"I remember that Linzi County didn't have a title?"
How do we know!
But the emperor was obviously impatient, Wang Zhong conscience said, "Your Majesty is wise, Linzi County does not have a title."
Li Zhi said with satisfaction: "So you are the Lord of Linzi County, you little man... Now he is also the Lord of the County. Jia Ping'an loves his daughter like a jewel in the palm of his hand, and I am more happy to get the news than to be the Duke of the country... I have something to do, let's go first."
The emperor slipped away.
Wu Mei sat there for a long time and suddenly laughed.
The people who went to award rewards got the news and made fun of it, making it extra grand, and went all the way to Daodefang.
Entering Daodefang, Jiang Rong came over and asked: "Dare to ask, this is..."
The official leading the team glanced at Jiang Rong, and found that this guy was breathing incessantly, and felt a little weird, "Is Duke Jia at home?"
"Yes! I'm back early."
The official's cheeks trembled slightly, and the little official behind him said in a low voice: "Mr. Jia went to order a **** in the morning and slipped away."
Jiang Rong heard it, and immediately lost his breath, and argued: "Mr. Jia is back to revise the book."
The official said with a dry smile: "He is not sensible, show me the way, let's go to Jia's house."
After waiting outside Jia’s house and knocking on the door, the official said coldly, “Jia…Jia…”
He turned around, "Jia what?"
The official said in a low voice, "Jia Doudou."
The official asked with a straight face, "Is Jia Doudou here?"
Du He was confused, "Little lady? Why are you looking for a little lady?"
Wang Lao Er coughed dryly, "The housekeeper is a member of the palace, hurry up..."
You still ask a chicken feather, be careful to bring trouble to your husband.
Du He ran back like lightning.
Arrived outside the door of the backyard, he said out of breath: "Quickly go and tell the gentleman, someone from the palace is looking for the young lady."
"Lang Jun!"
"Lang Jun!"
Jia Ping'an is reading a book, thinking about going to Gao Yang's place in the afternoon.
That woman must be stabbing the villain... Jia Pingan scratched his back while swearing, he thought it was brought by the villain...
"Lang Jun, someone from the palace is looking for a young lady."
Jia Ping'an's heart skipped a beat.
"Don't talk about it yet, let me go and see."
Damn it, it's good to find anyone, but what's the meaning of "Xun Dou Dou"?
Could it be that the emperor has taken a fancy to Doudou for his nephew, and is going to...
Thinking of his nephew's face, Jia Ping'an thought it was pretty good. But unfortunately, the palace is a place that cannibalize people, and the wise king is the one who loses his affection... Ming Jun treats the world well, but treats the people around him badly. So, let the eldest nephew harm other people's daughters.
He went all the way to the front yard.
"I have met Duke Jia."
The official looked straight at Du He and the others, but smiled when he saw Jia Pingan.
"They are all acquaintances." Jia Pingan vaguely saw this official, and asked, "I don't know why you are looking for a little girl in the palace?"
The official said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that Ling Ai is a virtuous and virtuous woman with a beautiful heart..."
My daughter is so promising?
Jia Ping'an felt that these words were not wrong.
Before conferring a reward, you must give a title... Why I rewarded this person must be because this person has merit or made great contributions.
Jia Doudou is a girl, so of course she doesn't deserve credit, so she can only make up for it in terms of virtue.
The official praised Doudou's virtue, and seeing that everyone took it for granted, he couldn't help praising it secretly... It seems that Duke Jia's beloved daughter is really virtuous!
"Ah Fu, don't run away!"
There was a shout from the backyard, and then a chubby thing rolled out quickly.
Someone was shocked, "It's an iron-eating beast!"
"This is a beast that can tear apart gold and stones, get out of the way!"
This thing is no match for it.
There was a lot of chaos!
Someone was surprised, "Why does this iron-eating beast look... a little flustered?"
"No, it's panic."
Ah Fu did not dare to turn his head back, rolled out of the gate in a flash, and ran away as if flying.
When everyone turned their heads, they saw a girl running quickly.
"Ah Fu stop!"
The little girl also ran out in a flash.
"The iron-eating beast was chased away by this little lady?"
The official's cheeks trembled slightly, "This is..."
This is probably the little maid serving Jia Doudou. Powerful families like to find servants of similar age for their children to accompany them.
Jia Ping'an's eyelids jumped wildly, "This is... little girl."
Cai will praise her for being virtuous and virtuous!
Jia Ping'an shouted: "Doudou!"
After a short walk, he ran back again. After saluting to everyone, he raised his head and asked, "Aye, do you want to go out to play?"
I will praise you for your quality and heart!
The official turned around to look at him with a stern face, his face was flushed, and his big eyes were pure.
The official smiled more for some reason, "Your Majesty heard that there is a woman in the Jia family who has outstanding virtues, so she rewarded her as...the Lord of Linzi County...the Lord of Jia County, and she will serve His Majesty as a good student in the future."
The Lord of Linzi County?
Jia Ping'an felt that this award came inexplicably.
It must be my credit for this trip to the Western Regions. The emperor didn't know what to do with it, so he simply transferred it to Doudou, which is not bad.
Jia Ping'an was overjoyed and gave Du He a wink.
Benefits must be given.
Doudou took Jia Ping'an's sleeve and asked on tiptoe, "Aye Aye, what is the county magistrate? Is it fun?"
Ahem!
Ahem!
A group of people coughed dryly, and the serious atmosphere disappeared.
"The county lord is the title, this... Go ask your mother later!"
Du He stepped forward and held the official's hand very naturally. The official noticed that his cuffs had sunk. He didn't know why, but he still nodded and left with a smile.
Out of Jia's house, he touched with his hands in his sleeves.
This is…
He raised his hand and glanced into his sleeve.
It turned out to be silver?
"Let's have a drink together later."
Everyone was overjoyed, and when they were having a good meal later, the officials couldn't help but sigh with emotion at Du He's natural movements, without fireworks.
Has that person ever practiced?
The Jia family has fallen into joy.
"County Lord?"
Su Ho joyfully hugged Dou Dou, "Only the mother and wife of a fifth-rank official can be the county monarch. Dou Dou, you will be proud when you go out in the future..."
DouDou stared at the toy in the elder brother's hand, with pleading eyes, but Jia Yu shook his head, very firm - there is no door!
"Husband, I have to build a carriage for DouDou at home. There are rules for the county lord to go out, and he has to have entourage... and..."
"It stopped."
Jia Pingan thinks that women are vain.
What about my innocent baby face?
But Su Ho found Wei Wushuang, the two muttered for a while, and Du He's words came from the front yard.
"The butler said Madam, don't worry, there is a lot of good wood in the house, and there are also good horses, so I invited a craftsman to build the carriage, and I absolutely dare not let the little lady go out to embarrass herself."
The whole family was overjoyed, and Jia Pingan watched quietly from the side, feeling that he had escaped.
"Husband, get out of the way."
Su Ho poked him, Jia Pingan raised his butt, Su Ho took a book he was sitting on and ran out.
"If someone comes to congratulate you later, Doudou remember to take this book..."
"Auntie..."
"What mother? At least you need to have a good reputation... the county monarch, you need to be virtuous, virtuous, knowledgeable, and courteous, so that you can find a good husband in the future..."
"Du Helong's carriage is still not ready?"
"Ma'am, the craftsman hasn't come yet!"
"..."
Jia Pingan felt that the house was too noisy, so he went out for a walk.
Di Renjie wandered around in Daodefang like a wild crane, and when he saw him come out, he smiled and said: "Doudou is the county lord, why are you unhappy?"
"Parents always hope that their children will always look like this and never grow up... But I know this is a human mentality.
You are used to protecting some people, so you feel that you are living a fulfilling life. When these people grow up and don’t need your care, you will feel disappointed and even depressed. "
"Today some people say that I am alienated..." Jia Ping'an is very aware of his own problems. In a word, it is the aloofness in his bones.
"You seem to be kind, but when dealing with many people, you are more than kind and not friendly enough, just like coping."
Old Di's observation ability is very keen, he is worthy of being the detective Di.
"Doudou is the county lord, and I guess there will be a lot of kisses later... A lot of people have come here, most of them want to marry Jia Yu... The eldest son of Duke Jia, this title is worth the capital of those people ...Many of those who came said that they were willing to marry the eldest daughter or granddaughter of the family to Da Lang..."
"It's still early."
Jia Pingan said indifferently: "It is said that getting married in this world does not care about the status of the class, but in fact the most important thing is to be right. My son does not need to learn from those people. If he likes someone, as long as the woman can manage the family business for him and has a good disposition. Then I won't object."
Di Renjie shook his head and sighed, "Being well-matched is not only the harmony between husband and wife, but also... Marriage is the good of two surnames. Both parties use the marriage to turn each other into their most loyal allies..."
It is not uncommon for marriage to be reduced to a tool, especially in the royal family. Everyone lives together for the sake of profit... Don't talk about feelings, let's play our own way.
"My son..." Jia Pingan smiled slightly, "I don't need the help of my in-laws."
He said these words calmly, but Di Renjie could hear some disdain.
"Just don't regret it."
"I certainly don't regret it."
Jia Pingan walked with his hands behind his back, "I know that the love between a man and a woman will be wiped out by the years. Human beings love the new and dislike the old. This is true for both men and women. No matter how hot they are, once they stay together for a long time, they will be as pale as water. Only Friendship lasts forever... If you liked each other earlier, you will have more Friendship."
It's that simple...
"Mr. Jia!"
There are guests at Jia's house.
"congratulations!"
The visitor smiled obsequiously, "My husband is the Ministry of War..."
The people in the Ministry of War sent people to congratulate him when they got the news that they were rewarding the county king.
"Congratulations."
Then people kept coming.
The muscles on Jia Ping'an's smiling face stiffened.
There are more and more people...
After leaving the office, Yang Deli also came.
"This is a good thing!" Yang Deli said happily: "The county monarch has been sealed all over the place. These people who came to congratulate him may also want to marry the Jia family. You can start to think about it when you are safe..."
Jia Ping'an covered his forehead, "How big is a round trip?"
Later generations, Doudou is still singing and dancing in kindergarten at this age!
But in the circle of the powerful and powerful in the Tang Dynasty, such favored little girls can be used.
"Who knows if those children are good or bad?" Jia Pingan said angrily, "What can a six or seven-year-old boy see? If it's not good, wouldn't it hurt Doudou?"
"Ping'an, you're crazy again." Yang Deli frowned, "If it's not good, just find an excuse and quit. For example, find an expert outside Fang to look at it and say that the two are not compatible. If they get married, it will definitely harm the man's family... just I have invited Tai Shiling to take a look."
Jia Ping'an was speechless.
But there were too many presents, so Jia Pingan could only serve wine.
After taking a rest the next day, Jia Pingan posted a post on the second day, asking the person who gave the gift to come to Daodefang for a banquet the next day.
The Jia family is in full swing, and so is the Sun family.
"Lianger?"
Sun Zhongshou stood by the bed, watching his grandson sit up, dress himself, and get out of bed without blinking his eyes...
He sniffed and shook his head slightly.
"Lianger is ready!"
The children and grandchildren rejoiced.
Liang'er's father asked: "Aye, who prescribed that medicine? It works like a god."
"Mr. Sun."
The children and grandchildren all looked at him.
"Sun... Mr. Sun?"
In Chang'an Xinglin, there is only one who can be honored as Mr. Sun.
Liang'er jumped up a few times after standing still, and said happily: "Aye, Auntie, that day Ah Weng carried me to Jia's house, and met a white-haired old man who asked me a lot..."
His parents looked at each other.
The daughter-in-law said cautiously: "Aye, then Mr. Sun...why can he treat Liang'er?"
A son said: "Mr. Sun lives in the Yisi of Princess Poyang, and there is a lot of traffic outside the door every day, but Mr. Sun doesn't see you... Lianger, how can he be..."
Sun Zhong coughed dryly, "It's almost time, and the old man still has to go to the tea house to do some work, so you can do your own work as well. Liang'er will go with the old man."
One of the sons couldn't believe it: "Could it be that Duke Jia came to help?"
Everyone suddenly realized.
"Mr. Sun is said to have a good relationship with Jiajun, but Aye can actually convince Jiajun?"
The whole family stared wide-eyed.
A daughter-in-law said with a smile: "This is a good thing!"
yes!
This is a good thing!
The Sun family immediately burst into joy.
President Sun took Liang'er for a walk in the workshop.
"Sun Zhong, is your grandson okay?"
Huang Er and a few idlers were bragging, and they wanted to laugh when they saw Sun Zhong, but then they saw the jumping Liang'er.
Huang Er felt that he had seen a ghost, rubbed his eyes and asked the people around him, "Did you see that child later?"
A few idlers also found it incredible, "See you."
Huang Eryi ran over quickly and reached out to touch Lianger, but was slapped away by Sun Zhong.
"Alive! Is alive!"
In broad daylight, ghosts cannot appear!
Huang Er was puzzled, "Lianger, who cured you?"
Liang'er smiled and said, "It's Mr. Sun."
"Mr. Sun...you are dreaming! How can Mr. Sun have the time to treat your illness..."
Sun Zhong led his grandson to the square gate silently. After leaving the square gate, Liang'er looked at the sky and said happily: "Ah, it's so bright!"
Sun Zhong looked up at the dawn in the sky, and hummed.
Arriving outside Jia's house later, Sun Zhong said, "Liang'er kowtows to the door."
Liang'er knelt down and kowtowed obediently.
The wrinkles on Sun Zhong's face were like ravines, and he bowed solemnly.
