Chapter 1013 Li Wan: There is a seal on it, why do you have to ask her?
Just as Jia Heng was talking with Li Wan in the Grand View Garden, there was a commotion in the capital because of the cheating in the imperial examination the day before yesterday.
Although Emperor Chongping ordered the inner guards to prevent the spread of rumors, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the news that Han Hui, the son of the chief minister of the cabinet, Han Huang, was involved in the case was gradually spread.
If the examiner is a cabinet minister, Minister of Criminal Affairs Zhao Mo, there is even a market for conspiracy theories.
Some said that Han Huang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Zhao Mo, the cabinet minister, were originally from the same party.
Han house, in the study
Sitting behind the table, Han Huang looked at Yan Hong who was standing not far away with a complex expression.
Yan Hong looked gloomy, and said: "Brother, there is a lot of discussion in Beijing and China about the fraud case of the imperial examination the day before yesterday."
Han Huang's face was slumped, and he was a little tired compared to the high spirits of years ago. He waved his hands and said, "This is the end of the matter, and there is no need to be afraid of others' comments. Gossip is inevitable for such a big matter."
As he said that, he looked at Han Hui who was standing respectfully at the side, and said, "At the end of the month, the new Jinshi will have a new scientific examination, which will be reviewed by His Majesty to determine the virtuous and foolish. You should prepare well."
Han Hui on the side lowered his head tightly, with a look of worry on his face, and said, "Yes, father."
After Han Hui left, Han Huang sighed, looked at Yan Hong, and said, "This is the end, it's useless to think about anything else."
Yan Hong showed a firm look on his face, and said: "Brother, I will hand over my resignation to the palace."
Han Huang waved his hand, seeing a little thought in his eyes, and said in a clear voice: "No need to do this, it is better to be still than to move now."
Now, I can only not respond to this matter, and wait for the passage of time to gradually dilute this matter.
Since the emperor promised not to pursue this matter any more, don't worry about the rest.
"What's your plan, brother?" Yan Hong asked.
Han Huang pondered and said, "Enter the palace and go to the cabinet."
When Yan Hong heard the words, he could only sigh secretly.
And in the afternoon, following the report from the Secretary of General Administration, it seemed like a new hot spot rushed to the top of the hot search list.
Basically, it's settled!From today, the four new policies are related to your life (explosive).
Jia Heng's memorial has once again become the focus of heated discussions in the streets and alleys of central Beijing.
The four new policies included a whip method, returning the fire consumption to the public, distributing the land to the mu, and abolishing the two to replace the yuan. It can be described as a package of economic reform plans. One after another, it not only dazzled civil and military officials, but also made ordinary people in Shenjing city confused.
And Jia Heng's memorials also quickly spread to the capital, and along with the developed post system of the Han Dynasty, they were implemented in various provinces.
Just as Jia Heng thought, the memorial in the name of Wei Guogong overwhelmed the whipping memorial of the governor of Liangjiang the day before yesterday almost instantly.
You know, not long ago, Jia Heng just returned from holding captive chieftains, and he was so powerful in China. As soon as this incident came out, all the officials and gentry in the world looked sideways.
cabinet, mandarin hall
Sitting behind a mahogany desk, Qi Kun looked down at the memorabilia copied by the cabinet book in a delicate and exquisite pavilion style, and read the words on it. The astonishment on his face gradually expanded.
I just listened to Jia Heng's narration of the key points before, and I already felt that it was indescribable, but now the four new policies are on top of the memorabilia.
This seems to be a well-considered and comprehensive new law plan, majestic and strategic.
If this strategy is implemented, the treasury of the Han court will no longer be in distress, and it will be just around the corner to eliminate border troubles and rebuild a prosperous age.
And the cabinet minister Zhao Mo looked at the memorial in his hand, and his heart was also full of turmoil.
Because Zhao Mo was involved in the scandal of cheating in the imperial examination not long ago, although he is still in the cabinet at the moment, he has a lot of worries. At this moment, he is reading the memorials written by Jia Heng, and his heart is slightly shaken.
How can this be carried out?This is undoubtedly imposing heavy taxes on the gentry and plundering the wealth of the people to support the court. How long will it take?
In the Daming Palace and Hanyuan Hall, Emperor Chongping also took Jia Heng's memorial and read it. Sometimes deep thought appeared on his cold and hard face, and sometimes he saw a look of suddenness. When he got up, his heart was already surging.
At this moment, Jia Heng's four new policies had been spread all over the city of Shenjing, and for a while, there were undercurrents and discussions among civil officials including Ke Dao Zhan Shi and others.
In Jia Heng's memorandum, in addition to the one whip method to check for leaks and make up for vacancies, the fire consumption was returned to the public, the two reforms were abolished, and the Dingkou tax was abolished for the sharing of Ding Ding Mu, which can be called a benevolent government.
For a while, ordinary people were delighted to hear it.
However, some officials who set up camps in their ancestral homelands secretly frowned.
The Dingkou tax is distributed among the acres of fields, and whoever owns the land will pay more taxes, and which one of the temples and temples does not buy thousands of acres of land and countless slaves.
This is going to kill me.
They studied hard in the cold window, and finally the family bought some land for the future when they become officials, to support their lives and raise their grandchildren. The court is clearly cutting off their flesh to subsidize those muddy legs.
This Duke of the State of Wei has used evil laws to harm the country and the people!It is even harsher than Gao Zhongping, Governor of Liangjiang.

Grand View Garden, Daoxiang Village
It was late in the evening, the sun was sinking westward, and the glowing sunset glow filled the western sky. Several red apricot trees that had lost their petals in Daoxiang Village swayed and rustled under the cool summer wind. When is the cicada singing, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low-pitched.
While Jia Heng was talking, he carried Li Wan in his arms and walked towards the inner room. The young woman in a blue dress was like a Persian cat, with a lock of lush and beautiful hair hanging down on her face, tightly hugging the boy. She dared not let go of her neck, only the strangeness of her body made Li's mind shocked inexplicably.
How can he do this?
It's... don't get hurt.
I don't care about thinking about it, it's like fifteen buckets fetching water, and I suddenly feel that the world is hanging upside down, and the light is like a floating light.
Before Jia Heng came to the desk with Li Wan in his arms, it was relatively tidy and spacious, and he did not sweep the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table with his big hands, and gently put down the beauty.
Li Wan's face was ashamed and annoyed, she was taken aback for a moment, when she looked back, she saw that her house was placed on the desk, when she was astonished, her heart couldn't restrain herself.
He... What is he going to do?
I didn't know Jia Heng's intention for a while, but she raised her beautiful eyes to look at the young and clear face, under the sword eyebrows, the eyes seemed to contain divine light, like an ancient well and deep pool, as if people would fall into it.
The beauty was so ashamed that she couldn't help but narrow her beautiful eyes slightly, under the thin brows of willow leaves, there was a hint of obsession in her eyes.
Although he...had been messing around a bit, he still had a dignified appearance, handsome and extraordinary, indeed a rare handsome man in the world, no wonder the princess and princess in the palace fell in love with him.
In other words, he was originally the young Duke of the Han Dynasty since the founding of the country for a hundred years.
Li Xin was thinking wildly, and after a while, she quickly closed her eyes, with a peaceful expression, only the earrings on her petite earlobes dazzled with circles of bright and different lights.
Jia Heng's eyes paused for a moment, looking at the banner hanging on the side, and asked in surprise: "Wan'er, the son of this banner, the brushwork is full of beauty and gentleness, but Wan'er usually writes?"
When Li Wan heard the words, he felt shocked, opened his beautiful eyes, turned his face that was as bright as a peach blossom, just saw the inscription and seal at the end of the calligraphy and painting, and the word Jia Zhu jumped into his eyes like a hammer.
It was like a boulder falling into the heart lake, setting off a stormy sea.
Immediately, an indescribable feeling surged up in Li's mind.
Why was she held here by this man?
However, before he could think about it carefully, the continuous turbulence of the river hit Li Wan's heart, and he could hardly hold on to himself. There was no time to think about it.
Li Wan's elegant face, like a beautiful flower, was as red as a cloud, and his slightly trembling voice was greasy and soft, and he felt a sense of shame gradually filling his body and mind, and he couldn't help but snorted softly, without answering Jia Heng. of inquiry.
Jia Heng's eyes were a little dull, he lowered his body, looked at the beauty with closed eyes and pretended to be asleep, and asked, "Wan'er, who wrote these two banners?"
Li Wan really couldn't stand the young man's teasing, so she frowned and relaxed, so she could only open a line of charming bright eyes, and said intermittently: "It's...it's my husband...written by hand."
Husband, I...I did this for Lan'er, don't blame me.
This person also intentionally abused her who clearly had a seal on it, so he insisted on asking her?
Fortunately, the sudden stop was the same as before, as if it was intentional just now.
Jia Heng sighed, and said: "Wan'er, it's really a pity for Brother Zhu, otherwise my Jia's mansion would have more clean-cut civil servants."
Seemingly matching the word "pity", Jia Heng's eyes deepened, his heart fluctuated, and he shook his head and sighed for the fall of the Jia family's reading seeds.
The beautiful eyes of the young woman in Huaxin narrowed her eyes, but when she heard the young man calling her Waner and then mentioning Jia Zhu's name, for some reason, an unspeakable sense of shame and guilt welled up in her heart.
Husband, if he sees her being tactful under someone else... Will he hide his face under Jiuquan?
Thinking of this, the young woman Huaxin suddenly felt a little nervous, as if she was worried about that scene.
Gongju, are you sorry for me?
Jia Heng's eyes froze again, he couldn't help but pause, looked at the frowning Liu Yemei, who seemed to be dejected, and wondered in his heart, is it a bit too much?
But obviously...
Li Wan took a deep breath at this moment, and a thought flashed through his mind.
This calligraphy and painting, maybe next time it can no longer be hung in the study.
But she is also for Lan'er, Lan'er he has in the future... He relies on Uncle Heng, and the road to the imperial examination in the future will be much smoother.
Jia Heng looked at the handwriting on the banner for a moment, stared at the plump and gentle face, the beautiful woman who was full of charm, guessed Li Wan's guilt, and said in relief: "You don't have to blame yourself, Over the years, you have worked so hard to bring up Brother Lang and cultivate him into a seed for reading, even if Big Brother Zhu knew about the relationship between you and me, he would still be considerate of Wan'er and would not say anything."
"Heng..." Li Wan's tender body trembled, her cherry teeth bit her pink lips, and she wanted to say a word of annoyance, but Qiong hummed in her nose, a strange feeling surged up in her mind, her tender body kept trembling, her lips were as moist as rose petals The red lips parted slightly, with a little prayer:
"Brother Heng, stop talking..."
Don't mention that person anymore, she doesn't think about anything at the moment.
At this time, Jia Heng leaned into the ear of the beauty and said in a low voice: "Wan'er, why not call me your husband in private from now on."
Of course, it is limited to this situation, and other times it is still a normal address, he has always been able to distinguish this.
Hearing this, Li Wan frowned, but her heart trembled, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.
husband?
This... She wants to call Brother Heng as her husband?
These two words obviously held a strange weight in Li Wan's heart, he was in a trance for a while, and quickly dispelled the random thoughts in his mind.
Jia Heng's face was condensed, and he said softly: "Then why don't Wan'er call Brother Heng?"
In fact, I was also a little worried that when Li Wan called her husband, he thought of Jia Zhu's face.
Isn't he the one who suffers?Or change the name.
Li Wan: "???"
Brother Heng?Let her be like Xiangyun, Tanchun, calling Brother Heng?She is not a little girl.
However, at this moment, the man seemed to be trying to make things right, and clearly urged him again.
Li Wan was also helpless for a while, he hesitated for a while, then leaned over to the young man and leaned towards his ear, and called out in embarrassment, but the voice was like a mosquito.
Immediately, he was so ashamed that he closed his eyes tightly, pretending to be dead and not saying a word.
On the evening of midsummer in the 16th year of Chongping, streaks of golden and red sunlight passed through the carved window and fell quietly on the bookcase made of mahogany. Beads rolled down from the temples, and the sweat-soaked hair was attached to the rosy face with relish. Under the sunlight, it looked a little crystal clear.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and patted it, and said softly, "Wan'er."
"Huh?" Li Wan couldn't help snorting, feeling a sense of emptiness in his heart. Immediately, his clear and beautiful cheeks blushed like clouds, and he didn't want to talk to Jia Heng. shame.
Jia Heng joked: "Wan'er is becoming more conscious now."
From spontaneity to self-awareness.
Li Wan's beautiful and charming jade face was glowing like a rosy cloud, she lightly pursed her pink lips, and did not respond to Jia Heng's teasing, she cursed secretly in her heart.
She knew it, and this man just liked to abuse her.
Jia Heng supported her slightly plump waist, paused, and asked, "Wan'er, do you still remember the first time you came to my wicker alley?"
Hearing this, Li Wan, who was walking on the clouds and his soul was flying into the sky, slightly stretched his eyebrows with curved willow leaves, and squinted a line of beautiful eyes, with strands of charming charm flowing out, and scenes of the past could not help being reflected in the lake of his heart.
At that time, the young man in the blue shirt was gentle and elegant, with a strong character. How could she have thought that one day he would bully her like this?
Let her love and hate, shame and annoyance.
Jia Heng said softly: "At that time, Brother Lang lent me two books, and later Wan'er came to ask for these back."
The gold hairpin pinned to Li Wan's bun was shaking non-stop, and on that plump face, there was a little intoxicating blush, and she said with shame: "It's only been a few years, Brother Heng is no longer what he used to be. That commoner boy is now the Duke."
When she thought of being bullied by the youngest prince of the big man, the beauty's eyes were in a daze, her heart was both happy and annoyed, and she felt a sense of complacency that she couldn't describe.
Jia Heng didn't say any more, and started holding on.
Li Wan snorted softly, feeling ashamed in her heart, and what was even more difficult to say was that it seemed that dead memories began to attack her, and she felt a familiar intention attacking her.
But I don't know how long it has passed.
Li Wan opened his eyes and glanced at the hanging banner. On that beautiful and elegant jade face, two bright blushes floated up, and he buried his head in his chest, so ashamed that he couldn't take care of himself.
Ah, how could she give her husband's banner to...?
Suddenly, a wave of guilt welled up in the beauty's heart.
At this moment, it was clear that the seal on the banner was scattered together with the black writing, and it was a mess.
Jia Heng's face was a little unnatural, he really didn't do it on purpose, he really didn't expect Li Wan's scene to reappear, he couldn't help himself, and said softly: "It's getting late, I'm going back too."
He suspected that Mrs. Cao had come back from Dongfu at this moment, and he should be a smart person, so he didn't come here.
Looking up, I don't know when, I can see some twilight outside the window, the summer night is approaching, the heat is fading, the lights are coming on, the evening wind is blowing the apricot tree in the courtyard, swaying with the lights, and the summer frogs Ming also one after another.
Thinking of this, Jia Heng couldn't help but think of his previous life, the summer nights when he and his friends had a barbecue around the fire, the sound of opening a bottle of Snow Beer, mixed with the foam of hops, and the bang was the sound of heartbreak.
Li Wan hugged the young man's neck at this moment, and couldn't help but hum softly, as if his heart was broken.
For a moment, there was a bit of reluctance in his heart, his eyes fixed on the young man, and he said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng didn't say much, straightened his clothes, and said in a gentle voice: "Sister-in-law, I'm quite busy these days, maybe I don't have time to come and talk to my sister-in-law."
Li Wan has been suffering for many years, in fact, it is more difficult than that of Sister Feng, because Sister Feng is in charge of the personnel affairs in the mansion, killing decisively, honorable and honorable.
And Li Wan seems to be excluded from the ordinary life in Jia's house, and can only wear ugly and old-fashioned clothes.
Li Wan pursed her pink lips, flushed her plump cheeks, and gave a soft "um".
And now he changed his name to call her sister-in-law again?This man is really...
Jia Heng took a handkerchief, with a calm face, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, wipe off your sweat."
In a trance, I couldn't help but think of the New Deal Sishu, and the fire was returned to the public.
And Li Wan also heard the sweat on his cheeks trickling down on Xiu's neck, felt that it was inappropriate, cursed secretly, and quickly took the handkerchief.
As Jia Heng said, he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, gently blew the tea leaves and foam away, and took a sip to calm his mind.
Thinking about the situation in the court, today's memorial about the new policy such as a whip law has been handed over, and it seems to have caused an uproar in the capital.
Then he glanced at Li Wan, and left Daoxiang Village.
Unlike places like Hengwuyuan, Xiaoxiangguan, and Qichiyuan, where Daiyu and Tanchun might visit, Daoxiang Village usually doesn't see anyone.
Just as Jia Heng was about to leave the hall, he saw a mid-mature woman with a cloud bun looking at him with a smile, and said, "Master Heng."
Jia Heng's eyes were a little calmer, he stared at Cao Shi, and said, "Aunt Cao."
Mrs. Cao glanced at Li Wan's direction, looked at the young man again, saw his rosy cheeks, smiled secretly, and said softly: "I just came from the West Mansion, Master Heng just came from Wan'er."
Jia Heng nodded, and said calmly: "Just now I have something to do with looking for my sister-in-law, is there something to do with Aunt Cao?"
Mrs. Cao thought to herself, she really deserves to be doing important things outside, and she can still blush and heartbeat when people see her, but she also feels normal.
How can she, a woman, make this person fail?
Cao said with a smile: "It's nothing."
Jia Heng nodded, and asked casually, "Where are Sister Wen and Sister Qi?"
Wen Qi and Wen Qi had met several times before, but in fact, their facial expressions and charm somewhat resembled Li Wan, just like Lanxi's Yu Qingxue, the youthful version of Li Wan.
"The two of them are reading in the room, and they will say they want to eat later." Mrs. Cao looked at the young man, smiled, and said, "Master Heng, why don't you leave after eating? The two of them are saying whether to read it or not." Shaoshu, I want to ask you for advice."
This young man is obviously not a master of Taoism, it is actually not bad for Wen'er and Qi'er to find such an outstanding husband-in-law.
"Not today, let's wait for another day." Jia Heng paused, and said softly: "I still have something to do. If Aunt Cao has something to do, you can look for me in the front yard."
Seeing a smile on Cao's face, she said, "Master Heng, go slowly."
Then he watched the young man go away, smiled lightly, then looked at Li Wan's residence, thought for a while, but didn't go to check.
Jia Heng left Daoxiang Village, it was dark at the moment, after thinking for a while, he turned to the front yard, went to the study, and at the same time ordered his mother to prepare hot water.
