Chapter 156 Volume B This is officialdom! (First update!)
“Congratulations to Mr. Jia. The student has long said that he is like a dragon trapped in a shoal but a tiger trapped in a flat sun. Sooner or later he will be able to regain his great power. I didn’t expect it to come so quickly.”
Feng Ziying smiled and held up her hands in congratulations. Jia Yucun's face was red, but there was a bit of reserve and caution in his expression. He introduced Feng Ziying into the hall and the two of them sat down.
"Ziying must not be like this. The most important thing about our relationship is heart-to-heart communication. Why should we do this? Besides, this has just been added to the official list, and there is no conclusion yet. Even if there is a result, it will probably be done after the year."
“There’s no rush, but Mr. Jia can spend a relaxing New Year in the capital with peace of mind. I wonder if Mr. Jia’s family will come to the capital?”
I have to admit that Wang Ziteng is capable enough. Although the official department has not yet made a conclusion, according to the information Feng Ziying received from Qiao Yingjia, it is really possible that Jia Yucun will be appointed as the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture. This is a step forward.
Jia Yucun served as a prefect for one term, and could theoretically take up the post after resumption. However, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture should be accurately called Fu Yin. The prefects of the northern and southern capitals have always been higher than the prefects of ordinary prefectures.
According to the Zhou Dynasty regulations, the prefects of ordinary state prefectures are of the fourth rank, but the two capitals of the north and south are different. The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture is the third rank of subordinates, and the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture is the fourth rank of Nanjing.
Wizi Teng was able to make a newly resurrected official serve as the fourth-rank Yingtianfu governor, which shows his great power.
Jia Yucun's original comments have been overturned after review by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, otherwise he would not be able to recover. Wang Ziteng works for Jia Yucun like this. I am afraid that Jia Yucun is also grateful to Wang Ziteng. No wonder the gourd monk dared to solve the gourd case.
"Haha, I also want to thank Ziying for taking the trouble." Jia Yucun stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction: "I won't come here anymore. It will take a month or two to come and go. I guess there should be results by then. ”
This small courtyard was also found for him by the Feng family. It was several times better than staying in a hotel. Moreover, they also gave him two hundred taels of silver, which was enough for him to live leisurely in the capital during this period. .
Speaking of this trip to the north, in addition to Wang Gong, Lin Gong and the Jia family, Jia Yucun was also very grateful to the thirteen-year-old young man.
The recovery was smooth and so fast, which surprised even Jia Yucun. He originally thought that he would be quite satisfied if he could go to a remote state capital, but he never expected that the news he found was that he might be appointed to Yingtian Mansion. This simply surprised him.
Having received such great kindness from the prince, Lin Gong and the Jia family, Jia Yucun didn't know how to repay him. He could only take it one step at a time, and just take care of all the prince's arrangements.
At this time, Jia Yucun also deeply felt the importance of personal connections. Without the prince's first-hand arrangement, even if he wanted to get back to Yingtian Mansion, it would be all nonsense.
"Yes, it's a hard journey. You'll have to go south soon." Feng Ziying didn't have much ill will towards Jia Yucun, and he couldn't say he was very close to her, but there was no doubt that he was a person worth getting to know for no other reason than for benefits.
If you want to jump to a conclusion about a person just based on what is written in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", he is not that naive.
This is not playing games, but real life. Jia Yucun is now on Wang Ziteng’s boat, and he is obviously sticking to his stance. It’s hard to say what will happen in the future, but in the short term, or in other words, Wang Ziteng’s big ship will not capsize. Or when there is a danger of flooding, he will definitely stand firmly on the boat.
As for whether Jia Yucun is cold-hearted, slippery and cunning, or good at counterattacks, it is not his turn yet. When he really reaches that level, he can just be prepared to deal with it with both hands.
"Ziying, I just want to thank you for your kind words. Without your support in the past few months..." Jia Yucun was immediately interrupted by Feng Ziying: "Mr. Jia, don't mention these words again in the future. You have said it before." The most important thing about our friendship is heart-to-heart. After all, we are also life-and-death friends, right? Linqing escaped from a tiger's mouth together. This is also fate. The ink scroll Mr. Jia gave Ziying was also studied day and night, and it was quite beneficial. Maybe Ziying will be her daughter in the future. There is also a place for me to ask Mr. Jia, who will take care of Ziying when the time comes."
Jia Yucun laughed heartily and felt extremely happy.
This Feng Ziying is really a good person, she is so good at talking, every word she speaks can touch people's hearts and make you feel very comfortable.
Jia Yucun has been up and down in officialdom for several years, and after several years of traveling and living in Beijing, he has long seen through the harshness of the world. Feng Ziying must be sure that she will prosper, but at least they are helping her in times of need, and they are also good for herself. Of course he should appreciate the life-saving grace and make good friends with him.
Besides, this boy will definitely be extraordinary in the future. If nothing else, as long as he can pass the imperial examination, he will have great fortune in the future. If he really wins the imperial examination, his future will be limitless, and he may have to do more in the future. It is impossible to rely on him.
From this point of view, Jia Yucun really hopes that Lin Daiyu can marry this son, so that Wang, Jia, Lin and the Feng family can be integrated into one. If the prince can get help from this son in the future, he will definitely be able to Very useful.
"Ziying, there are only you and me today. I know you are also a person who can make decisions. I also heard that Mr. Qiao intends to recruit you as his son-in-law. Is this relevant?" Jia Yucun pondered for a moment before saying.
Feng Ziying was stunned, what is Jia Yucun going to do? Could it be that his family also has a daughter who is waiting to be married? It seems that it is not mentioned in the book "Dream of Red Mansions".
"Mr. Jia, those are all hearsay rumors. Mr. Qiao only has two daughters. One daughter is already married, and the other is already engaged. I am afraid she will get married this year. Such boring words are just rumors spread by the good people in the capital city. "Feng Ziying quickly shook her head.
"Well, if that's the case, I think Ziying has a good impression of Lin Yatou. Lin Yatou is smart and smart. If Ziying is interested, I would rather be a Yue Lao..."
Jia Yucun’s words came from sincerity, and of course he was thinking about himself.
Once you can tie several people together, their strength will be greatly increased, and you will be more secure following Wang Ziteng.
Secondly, the Feng family also has rich connections in the military. They are not as idle as the Jia family, who have faded out of the army for many years. Father Feng also has many colleagues and subordinates serving in the Southern Guard Town. It is inevitable that he will be useful when he goes south in the future. When it comes to these connections.
Feng Ziying didn't expect that Jia Yucun would be so bored that he wanted to be the matchmaker for himself and Lin Daiyu. He really had never thought about these things. He was only thirteen years old, so why were his family and outsiders thinking about his marriage? Something happened?
Jia Yucun saw Feng Ziying's polite refusal and was also thinking about what Feng Ziying meant.
Lin Yatou's body is a little weak. Feng Ziying is a single descendant of the third family of the Feng family. Her family will definitely inquire about Lin Yatou's condition. After knowing Lin Yatou's condition, they may not agree to the marriage. This is a problem.
Feng Ziying's status is indeed embarrassing now. Although she is very famous and studied in Qingtan Academy, it is indeed unreasonable to want to marry the legitimate daughter of the Salt Patrol Censor who was born in Sandingjia without being able to obtain the status of a scholar. This is two.
From what Feng Ziying said, he didn't mean to die. It seems that this guy still has some thoughts about Lin Yatou. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out. He can wait until next autumn to worry about it.
Seeing that there were a few more servants and maids in the small courtyard of Jia Yu Village, Feng Ziying knew that many people had already spotted this down-and-out scholar who was about to rise to prominence and started to burn the cold stove. Two hundred silver cannot afford such expenses.
Of course those people who come to visit us now will definitely not be regarded as cold-blooded people, but it is better than having them come to make fun of us later when they take office.
There are many people like this in the capital who specialize in spying on every move in the court, regardless of whether it is related to people and affairs from the Ministry of Personnel and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to litigation and prison matters. , or those that may be built, such as the Ministry of Industry and Taipu Temple, have dedicated people responsible for inquiring and operating.
Needless to say, the Ministry of Household Affairs also has its own methods. Even the most deserted Ministry of Rites has many tricks.
After all, snakes have their own ways, and foxes have their traces. There are millions of people in this capital city, and everything that concerns hundreds of millions of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty gathers here, including tens of thousands of officials. All kinds of things are derived from it. To meet demand, someone has to make a living.
Especially if you are coming to Beijing from outside and don’t understand the details of the expenses here, you will inevitably suffer a loss. If you can find one or two people in the industry, you can also save a lot of expenses.
Jia Yucun talked about Xue Jun again, saying that Xue Jun had returned to the south after staying in Beijing for a while. Naturally, he didn't know that the Feng family had such a relationship with Xue Jun. He only said that the two houses of the Xue family were now in decline. I mean, fortunately, the eldest brother still has his uncle Wang Ziteng to rely on, but for the second brother Xue Jun, I'm afraid he has to rely on himself.
"The Mei family belongs to the Huguang family. I don't know how they negotiated the marriage with the Xue family. But now that Mei Zhiye passed the imperial examination and became a Shujishi, and now he has been reviewed by the Hanlin Academy, the future is promising. "Jia Yucun breathed a sigh of relief, "The Xue family has entered into this marriage, and they are really good at recognizing people."
"I heard that Mei Hanlin was just a descendant of the Mei family. The Xue family had supported him for many years before they discussed marriage with his family. It took many years until he was admitted to the Juren Examination, otherwise... "Feng Ziying didn't say any more.
Jia Yucun smiled knowingly, "Yes, they are friends of the poor and the lowly, so the second wife of the Xue family can be considered lucky. In a few years, when the children of both parties are older, once they are officially married, the Xue family will be somewhat prosperous again. The weather is getting up.”
Feng Ziying couldn't help but sigh, Jia Yucun was really different, so he had to think about where he sat.
In the past, this guy was just living for food and clothing. Once he got the opportunity, he was thinking about how to build a relationship between the Jia family and Wang Ziteng through Lin Ruhai. Now that his long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, he is thinking about how to make full use of these connections.
Jia Yucun and Xue Jun experienced the Linqing Civil War together, and they had some friendship. Before, he felt that Xue Jun was not worth mentioning, but now that Xue Jun's future in-laws are being reviewed by the Hanlin Academy, it is different.
Although it is just a noble position, once he is transferred out of the Hanlin Academy, the Sixth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate can come in and out at will. Even if he goes to another place, it will definitely be an equal position to him, and he is not relying on anyone. Instead, rely on your own hard power.
“Mr. Jia is familiar with Mei Hanlin?” Feng Ziying couldn’t help but ask.
"I'm not familiar with him. This Mei Hanlin is one class ahead of me, and is seven or eight years older than me. However, it is said that he and Duke Qiao are somewhat familiar with your academy official."
Jia Yucun has also heard that Qiao Yingjia is about to officially take office as the right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This is another reason why he intends to hand over to Feng Ziying at no cost.
The right deputy censor of the capital is a very prominent position, and he can be regarded as the third or fourth figure in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If you exclude the censor of the right capital who often has foreign titles, then the right deputy censor of the capital is actually the third figure in the imperial prosecutor's court. Well, there are also rumors that the new emperor intends to make both the Youdu Censor and the Right Deputy Censor of the City serve as external posts, which means that once Qiao Yingjia takes up this position, there is a possibility that he will take charge of one side.
"Oh? Are you familiar with Master Qiao?" Feng Ziying didn't expect that Mei Hanlin could have a relationship with Qiao Yingjia and Guan Yingzhen, but he had never heard them mention it. I'm afraid they were only close friends. They were probably just like Qiao Yingjia. Although he was in the same class as Lin Ruhai, he suddenly thought that Guan Yingzhen was also from Huguang. I am afraid that Mei Zhiye should be regarded as a native of Guanzhangyuan.
“Ziying, you don’t even know that your official is from Huguang, right?” Jia Yucun asked with a smile.
He had heard that Feng Ziying was now very favored by Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen. People outside the grand gathering in North and South Shilin might not know the details, but Jia Yucun vaguely knew that Feng Ziying had a quarrel with Miao Changqi. This was Not a simple matter.
Being able to quarrel with a Jiangnan scholar like Miao Changqi proved his status and weight in the academy, and also proved his status in the hearts of Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen. Based on this alone, no one dared to underestimate this person. Bit.
"Haha, Mr. Jia was joking, how could Ziying not know about it?" Feng Ziying laughed, "It's just that Ziying has never heard that Mei Hanlin was mentioned in the Guanzhangyuan."
"Well, this Mei Hanlin has a somewhat different personality." Jia Yucun only said this and said no more. He probably felt that it was inappropriate to talk about people behind their backs, so he changed the topic.
The two chatted for a while, and then Feng Ziying left.
Before leaving, I naturally presented another Cheng Yi.
This time it was one thousand taels of silver, and Jia Yucun accepted it after some refusal.
I am about to go south, the expenses are too much, and I don’t dare to be careful for a while when I am not familiar with the situation. And it is impossible to complain to Wang Ziteng and the Jia family for such expenses. This person is really sensible, this It also made Jia Yucun more fond of Feng Ziying.
It’s a big chapter of 4,000 words. Can I get a monthly pass of 300?
