Chapter 15: Father and Son's Night Talk

"You little brat, don't get up to greet him. If it were Brother Zhen, I would break his legs."

Jia Jing walked in with an unhappy look on his face.

After hearing this, Jia Li did not take it seriously. Jia Jing and Jia Zheng were different. They were not stubborn and extremely pedantic. Such nerds could not pass the Jinshi exam. On the contrary, they understood some things very clearly. Now that they were angry, they should be related to themselves.

"What a big deal, it's worth my father's use. If I'm not using it, I'll ask the people below to send you some tomorrow!"

Hearing Jia Li's words, he didn't respond. He looked at Jia Li quietly for a while and continued, "I heard that the Western Palace is preparing to build a provincial villa!"

Jia Li said indifferently: "I have divided the sects now, so I won't participate in this matter. Besides, those in the palace don't want me to get involved in this matter!"

When Jia Jing heard this, he couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, he said, "Brother Li, have you heard any news?"

Jia Li was stunned and said in an exaggerated tone: "Can my father have achieved enlightenment now and can see through people's hearts?" The hippie smile made Jia Jing smile.

Jia Li actually has his own opinion on visiting relatives. On the surface, it is the royal family that favors the Jia family, but in fact it may have other profound meanings.

There must be a visit to a relative court for a visit. Now the situation of the east and west governments is impossible for the man in the palace to know. If the Jia family wants to build a yard, the family will be hollowed out. If someone in the Jia family can take advantage of the situation, it will be a pity that it is not. This matter is undoubtedly a loss-making business for the Jia family. It is ridiculous that the people in the palace don’t know it, but maybe some people pretend to be unaware of it and pretend to be unaware of it, and he can’t do anything about it.

This has to show that Emperor Kang's methods are great. If he is still in Ningfu, then this matter will undoubtedly be a huge help to him. Maybe he will use this help to go directly to the center of the court and achieve his goal with Emperor Taikang's imperial edict. I have to say that this plan is beautiful.

"The two saints are in the court, and the power is infighting. This vortex has strangled many lives openly and secretly. Although this time, the title of concubine has benefited some of my contributions, my son doesn't care. He will earn it again. However, this time, the title of concubine is not a blessing or a disaster for the Jia family!"

In fact, he didn't say anything. If he really had kindness, he wouldn't have let him separate his sects. He clearly wanted to deal with the Jia family!

Seeing that Jia Li didn't care about Yuan Chun's title of concubine, Jia Jing sighed and said, "Brother Zhen will allocate the garden of the East Mansion to the West Mansion as a base, and plan the yard for visiting relatives. Brother Li, your garden will also be included."

Jia Li didn't care when he first heard Jia Zhen want to pass the garden of the East Mansion, because that was what he did in the original work, but when he heard Jia Jing's tone, his brows slowly frowned. Jia Jing's tone was not right, and he wanted to drive him away. He didn't expect that he, a waste brother, had the courage to do this, and dared to instigate the old man to be a lobbyist.

"He just cares about the position of the clan leader of the Jia family so much? He can't wait to drive me away?"

Looking at Jia Jing, Jia Li had a hint of mockery.

Jia Jing couldn't help but hear Jia Li's words, complaining that Jia Li was too ruthless and spoke too directly, and he didn't even care about his own face and shook his face. His face turned cold and he didn't explain. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the Lord!"

Jia Li's face was even more ridiculous. He stood up, looked at the small courtyard covered with a layer of dark gauze and asked: "Father, is this what you meant?"

Jia Jing looked at Jia Li with expressionless face and felt a little sad. He had been used to Jia Zhen's submissiveness over the years, and accidentally brought the habits with him. He said he was about to be beaten. Looking at Jia Li's increasingly ethereal figure, he remembered that the person in front of him was not only his son, but also Dakang's champion Hou. He was a master who was successful in practicing Taoism, but he didn't let himself knead and roll it round.

However, he was born in a feudal society. He learned benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, respected the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and still shrank when he had a head-on conflict with the imperial power.

Looking at Jia Li, whose temperament gradually became more transcendent, Jia Jing hesitated for a long time before saying, "Yes!"

After hearing this, Jia Li sneered twice, then stopped, and said in a calm tone: "Then I will move out tomorrow. I think my marquis' mansion should be ready. Also, my father will not practice Taoism in the future. The rules of the convention will restrict his state of mind. I am afraid it is difficult to enter the Tao."

When Jia Jing heard this, he looked angry. Isn’t Jia Li poking his lung tube? He said angrily; “You, you, you..."

Then Jia Jing shook his sleeves and left without looking back. The originally welcoming ceremony ended in an unhappy way, and the yard returned to its former peace.

The three little maids standing at the door walked in at this time and looked at Jia Li with some fear. Two of them knew Jia Jing in the East Mansion in the past few years and were a little scared about what Jia Li did just now. In ancient times, a filial piety was not something that ordinary people could bear.

Yinglian has been following Jia Li in the past few years. On weekdays, women dressed as men and served Jia Li's tent, but of course they were just ordinary service. At that time, Jia Li's practice was not yet in time and needed a child's body, so they did not touch her, so they had been in peace in the army, otherwise they would have discovered it long ago.

But she was a close person. She also knew Jia Li's supernatural powers and had some knowledge of her temper. She said that the more she knew, the less courage she was. Looking at Jia Li who didn't say a word, she knew that her master was angry now, and now she was just calm before the storm.

So Yinglian stood there obediently, not daring to say a word.

"Master, the master just now made you angry. If you have any good intentions, then it won't work. If this is spread, it will be bad for your reputation, why would you apologize tomorrow?"

"I want me to tell you, why do you do that? It's obviously not my fault just now!"

The two sentences came from the mouths of two maids. The first sentence was said by Qiujiao and the second sentence was said by Qingwen. Jia Li glanced at the two of them, looked at Yinglian again, and asked, "Lian'er, what are you saying?"

After hearing Jia Li's words, Yinglian became a little nervous and walked to Jia Li with her little hands. She grabbed the corner of Jia Li's lichen and looked at Jia Li carefully without saying a word.

Seeing her like this, Jia Li laughed, grabbed her little hand with her left hand and pointed her rouge mole with her right hand.

After teasing Yinglian for a while, Jia Li turned around and said to the two little maids Qiujiao and Qingwen in a somewhat stiff tone: "Are you doing things instructors?"

The two little girls were stunned by Jia Li's sudden words. When they met Jia Li's extremely calm gaze, they were shocked. They knelt on the ground with two plops and said tremblingly: "I don't dare!"

Jia Li sighed quietly, how can the people in the Jia family say that the servants are not like servants, and the masters are not like masters. Instead, the daughters are much stronger than men. Those men are timid, without any responsibility, and without any rigidity. It is no wonder that the two little girls are like this. It seems that they haven't seen each other for a few years and have been led to the destruction by the people in the yard.

"The first and last time."

The two little girls whispered, and then Jia Li asked them to stand up.

On the second day, there was a constant debate in the court. The focus of this incident was on the salt tax, and the person involved was Jia Li's acquaintance Lin Ruhai.

This is what happened. Lin Ruhai's term of office has arrived. After returning to Beijing to report his work, Emperor Mingkang wanted to transfer him to the cabinet and then re-order the candidate for the governor of the Salt Transportation, but he did not expect to encounter resistance.

Mingkang and Taikangdi are now having disputes over the South China Sea incident, and their relationship has begun to become a little stiff again. Taikangdi just doesn't want his son to be happy.

When Lin Ruhai went to Yangzhou to supervise the salt transportation, it was Emperor Mingkang's will. In recent years, with the help of Jia Li, he has been in the salt transportation area. Not only did Emperor Mingkang's private treasury be full of money, but he also filled the national treasury a lot.
