Chapter 29

Not to mention the identity of Zheng Qing's imperial teacher, just his title of Duke Shen was already a powerful person in the Song Dynasty. Before Jia Sidao was promoted to the Jinshi, he was just a sixth-rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank

Zheng Qingzhi took the initiative to reach out to hold Jia Sidao. It would be obviously not enough to describe it with the word "politeness".

When the scholars in the Peach Blossom Land saw Zheng Qingzhi treat Jia Sidao like this, their eyes were full of surprise, and then they all showed a look of admiration. However, at this time, they no longer had the suspicion and hostility they showed at the beginning.

To be fair, none of the scholars, including the top scholar Zhou Tan, was as confident as Jia Sidao, to write the poem according to the title in less than a few breaths, let alone such amazing poems. As for the title of the last four-item poem, they didn't even dare to think about it.

There is no other aspect yet, but although they didn't say it, they already understood in their hearts that at least in terms of poetry, the gap between Jia Sidao and them is already a huge difference.

Therefore, the scholars who had been impressed in their hearts had already taken it for granted to Jia Sidao so courtesy of Zheng Qingzhi, but they subconsciously took it for granted.

Jia Sidao was held by a big man like Zheng Qingzhi, but he didn't feel anything in his heart, and even a small wave did not appear.

Is this a compensation for the behavior that has been watching coldly before? He sneered in his heart.

There are many people who can write poems and lyrics, and there are no need to mention people like Li Bai, just say that in the past hundred years of the Song Dynasty, Liu Yong, Zhou Bangyan, Su Xun and others are all great poets. However, in addition to the poetry being passed down through the ages, how many people can truly achieve something besides poetry?

With Zheng Qingzhi's status, he naturally would not think that if he did a good job of poetry, he would definitely have a broad future, so he did not have to use such means to show his courtesy and appreciation to Jia Sidao. Then, the only thing that can be explained is that Zheng Qingzhi was actually making compensation or redeem for the things he had previously observed.

Jia Sidao was not wrong. Zheng Qingzhi did this to compensate him, but in addition to compensation, it showed his respect for the wise and polite people and his desire to win over Jia Sidao.

Unfortunately, the fallen flowers are intentionally flowing water is ruthless.

If Shi Xiang had not had the sudden change, Jia Sidao might not have noticed anything, but Shi Xiang's change coupled with the deliberately encouraging Zheng Qingzhi now made him realize that before he knew it, he seemed that he had become a hot commodity in the eyes of some big bosses in the court.

I wonder if Qiao Xingjian’s post was delivered to the mansion at this time?

Of course, in addition to his own abilities, this hot commodity is actually more because of Concubine Jia, who has a huge influence on Zhao Yun.

Although Jia Sidao did not understand the specific inside story, he still guessed it. But what he didn't know was that the news of his cheap sister Guifei Jia had just been pregnant before the New Year.

It has been more than fourteen years since Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty that Zhao Yun ascended the throne. Except for Concubine Jia gave birth to a daughter Ning Ying, the Princess of Ruiguo, six years ago, he has no descendants yet.

There are many concubines in Zhao Yun's harem. In addition to Concubine Jia and Empress Xie, Concubine Yan is the most favored. However, except for Concubine Jia who was pregnant in the harem, none of the concubines, including Empress Xie and Concubine Yan, have ever had a dragon seed, let alone give birth to a child for Zhao Yun.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no descendants are the greatest, let alone Zhao Yun, the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Since the Song Dynasty moved south, its descendants have always been extremely rare, and Emperor Ningzong also has no descendants. Now, Zhao Yun has not had any descendants for more than ten years ascended the throne, which is extremely frustrating news for the entire Song Dynasty.

The emperor has no descendants. Once any accident occurs, the already stormy Song Dynasty system will shake. How can the Song Dynasty not worry?

Under such circumstances, Concubine Jia became pregnant, which was the best news for the entire Song Dynasty. For safety reasons, except for a few people in the court and the country, not many people knew this exciting news.

Of course, Jia Sidao’s current lack of knowing that Concubine Jia is pregnant does not mean that others are not clear about it.

People like Zheng Qingzhi naturally had his own channels to get some hidden news. Not only Zheng Qingzhi, but most of the top ministers in the court have actually obtained this news through various channels.

The more accurate news is that it is said that Concubine Jia is pregnant this time with a dragon species.

The dragon seed, if it is really a dragon seed, it would be difficult for Zhao Yun to give birth to one and half of his daughter. Then this dragon seed is most likely to be the emperor's only male descendant.

As long as this child is born, once Zhao Yun dies, there is no need to doubt that he will be the foregone conclusion of the heir to the throne.

Under such circumstances, Concubine Jia's status as a favorite in the harem was infinitely higher, and even the younger brother Jia Sidao also rose with the flow.

It doesn't matter whether Jia Sidao has or not. What's important is that Concubine Jia's son is likely to be the emperor. This is enough for this rescue. This is also the fundamental reason why, except for Yu Tianxi who was directly attacked by Qionglin Banquet last night, none of the big bosses in the court spoke out, and even the ministers of Empress Xie and other members of the group did not choose to help Yu Tianxi take advantage of the situation.

Although they all want to do it very much, even though they know that doing so has no effect, why bother to attract hatred for nothing?

As long as Concubine Jia is still pregnant, what if Jia Sidao really commits the crime of deceiving the emperor? What's more, there is no evidence to prove that Jia Sidao cheated, right?

Jia Sidao, who probably understood something in his heart, would naturally not be foolishly attracted by Zheng Qingzhi and involved in the fight between various big-minded factions in the court, and acted as a pawn for them.

"Zheng... Zheng Shi was praised, Shi... Shi Xian... was so frightened. But Shi Xian... Shi Xian is really... he is really not... unable to win... he drinks, and he will definitely come to the door to ask Master Zheng... to apologize, oh no, please... ask for advice!"

Jia Sidao, who was covered in alcohol, swayed and stuttered.

He wasn't all pretending. He was indeed a little dizzy. He drank a pot of wine. Although the wine was not very strong, he couldn't help but have a lot of it. In addition to the wine he had drank before, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was full of alcohol.

As the words came to an end, there was a dead silence in the Peach Blossom Land.

Is this a rejection?

The scholars around, including the three old men, all looked at Jia Sidao with incredible expressions. Zheng Qingzhi had already taken so many people personally, put down his figure and held his arms to invite him to enter Lanting to drink and talk. How much should he value this?

But in this case, Jia Sidao still spoke out and refused Zheng Qingzhi's invitation. Was he really drunk or did he deliberately do so? No one knew.

Zheng Qingzhi, who was holding Jia Sidao's arm on the other side, obviously did not expect Jia Sidao to reject him under such circumstances. He stared at Jia Sidao slightly, silently for a while.

"Haha, Shi Xian is not only very talented, but also has such a straightforward temperament. Good! Good! Good! Today is my abruptness." Zheng Qingzhi, who had pondered for a while, looked at Jia Sidao and laughed out loud.

Is Jia Sidao drunk? How could the cunning Zheng Qingzhi not be able to see it? It was just that today's incident was because he was too wrong and was judged by his previous impression of Jia Sidao, which caused such a situation. Jia Sidao had resentment in his heart and was unwilling to stay in the Seyuan for more, but it was also necessary.

Although he was defeated, Zheng Qingzhi was the old man in the court after all, so he would not have completely broken up with Jia Sidao because of this, let alone that he was wrong first.

While speaking, Zheng Qingzhi calmly let go of Jia Sidao's arm.

"Thank you, Master Zheng!" Jia Sidao bowed to Zheng Qingzhi in a naive manner and then turned around and looked at Chen Pufang and others who were waiting to make friends with Wen on the other side and continued, "Brother Pufang..."

"Brother Jia is so talented that Pu Fang is ashamed of himself. What should I give up today's meeting? We are abrupt, and we apologize to Brother Shi Xian here!" Before Jia Sidao could finish his words, Chen Pufang hurriedly bowed deeply to Jia Sidao.

"It's easy to say it! Shi Xian is really unable to drink today. Another day, I will never get drunk with Brother Pu Fang again!" Chen Pu Fang said so well. Jia Sidao naturally didn't want to have any more troubles, and he smiled and clasped his fists to return the salute.

"Since that's the case, Master Zheng, Master Yuan, Master Du, Master Li, Sidao was really rude today. I will go home first and come to the door to apologize to all the teachers and commanders in person another day!"

The matter was over. Jia Sidao didn't want to stay in Seyuan for a minute, not to mention that if this poem hadn't happened to meet Shi Xiang, he wouldn't have been going to come.

"Shi Xian doesn't have to be too polite. Another day, I and others invite Shi Xian to join the house." Yuan Cheng and the other two said with a smile.

The three of them are just professors of the Imperial College. Although they are famous scholars, they are also people who know the importance of the matter. The Concubine Jia behind Jia Sidao alone made the three of them dare not really treat Jia Sidao as a small Jinshi.

"Fang Shen, why don't you arrange for the sedan chair to take Shi Xian back to the mansion?" Zheng Qingzhi glanced at Zheng Hong, who looked a little strange, and said unhappy.

"Oh, Fang Shen will arrange the sedan chair now, and then arrange the sedan chair now." Seeing Zheng Qingzhi's displeasure, Zheng Hong hurriedly bowed and responded repeatedly.

The crowd looked at Jia Sidao and left with complicated eyes, but their hearts were filled with mixed feelings.

From the beginning to the end, Jia Sidao never mentioned the matter of Wang Ke, Cheng Yuanqiu, Qin Shou and others receiving tea and accepting the disciple's etiquette, as if they had completely forgotten this.

This also made Qin Shou and the other two secretly feel very grateful.

...

After leaving the gate of Seyuan, Jia Sidao, who was not half drunk, politely declined the sedan chair arranged by Zheng Hong and still chose to walk away. Zheng Hong was unhappy in his heart and didn't say much. After watching Jia Sidao and Jia Quan'er and his servant leave, they turned back to the Seyuan.
