Chapter 216 Returning to Ningguo Mansion
Not to mention that King Qi was racking his brains, thinking about how to respond to Emperor Chongping's inquiry, but he said that it was too late for Jia Heng to leave Daming Palace, and he had just sat down for a while when he returned to Wucheng Bingma Si, when he saw Jinyi Mansion and came to report and copy the inspection Ji Yingtian for one thing.
Ji Yingtian's cheeks were rosy, and his face was full of spring breeze. As soon as he entered the official hall, he smiled and said, "My lord, all the members of the Sanhe Gang have been captured. The family assets of each leader have been copied and inspected. The initial calculation can get nearly 1000 taels of silver."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Ji Tongzhi has worked hard."
"My lord, you should report this silver to the Holy Majesty in the palace." Ji Yingtian said anxiously with an excited expression on his face.
Jia Heng said: "I just came back from the palace."
Ji Yingtian: "..."
Jia Heng said: "Last night, with the sword of the Son of Heaven, my officer dispatched soldiers from the Beijing camp to blockade the East City. Such a big movement must be reported to the Holy One. It just so happens that the five city soldiers and horses have all copied and checked the books. Go and report to the Holy Majesty."
Hearing this, Ji Yingtian forced himself to smile, and said insincerely, "Master Jia is thoughtful, and I admire you."
Damn, I was careless, he should have entered the palace face saint earlier, why didn't he think of it at the time?
Yes, Shangfang Sword!
Habitually come and play.
In fact, this is the habitual obedience that Jin Yiwei develops once he submits to the imperial power under the influence of his long-term environment as a slave of the emperor.
Ji Yingtian was annoyed for a moment, his eyes flickered, and then he thought again, "Even if you report the letter first, it is useless, and the merit of command and dispatch cannot be wiped out. "
Jia Heng said: "Ji Tongzhi, you are also old Jinyi. You must keep your hands and feet clean during the inspection. The money has already been counted in the Holy Majesty's mind. Anyone who dares to mess around will be killed!"
Ji Yingtian's expression froze, and he said with a smile: "My lord, don't worry, we, Jinyi, are the eagle's claws of the emperor, and we will definitely not let such things happen."
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Qu Lang, vice-deputy Qianhu in Jinyi, and said, "Deputy Qu Qianhu, ask Zhao Qianhu from Nanzhen Fusi to come over and send people to watch everywhere."
Ji Yingtian: "..."
Jia Heng said: "It's not that I don't trust anyone, it's that the treasury is struggling to make ends meet due to side affairs. This money is related to the imperial court and society, so I need to keep an eye on it."
He has always planned for a rainy day and said the ugly things first.
Ji Yingtian cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency's words are true."
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he said: "Okay, Mr. Ji, this time the Jinyi Mansion has contributed a lot, and I will report the merits later, and I will report the truth."
Ji Yingtian's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he thought to himself, do you want to give this Jia some money afterwards?How about some good words in the palace?
Just as Ji Yingtian was thinking about it, he heard a loud noise coming from outside. Lu Jingyao of Jinyi Mansion, several thousand households, the governor of the capital, Che Zheng, and the governor, Lu He, led several generals into the official hall. .
Cai Quan is also among them.
"Huh la la" everyone saluted together, and this salute was aimed at Tianzijian.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Tong Che, Dongcheng is still stable now, no one is making trouble, right?"
Che Zheng's face seemed a little unsightly, and he said, "Lord Jia, there have never been troublemakers. It's just that some brothers from Jinyi Mansion had conflicts with some of his subordinate brothers."
Jia Heng frowned and said, "Why?"
Lu Jingyao said: "The soldiers of the Beijing camp, when they were arresting the Sanhe Gang, their hands and feet were not clean. The humble subordinates couldn't see it, so they had a few conflicts with them. Otherwise, there was no problem."
Jia Heng heard this, looked at Che Zheng, and said, "How do you deal with those soldiers with dirty hands and feet?"
Che Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's all on the board."
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Che Tongzhi, you should strictly enforce military discipline, send military discipline officers to patrol back and forth, and strictly prevent rape and robbery from happening. If such things happen, they will be punished according to the laws of the Han Dynasty."
It can be said that he is well aware of the virtues of the Beijing Army.
In comparison, the people in Jinyi's mansion are more likely to receive royal appointments, and behave more politely.
Che Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Yes, my lord."
Jia Heng raised a few key points to everyone. At that time, it was almost evening, and he was going back to Ningguo Mansion.
The fine and crisp sound of horseshoes "da da" rang across the bluestone road of Ningrong Street. The afterglow of the autumn sunset also elongated the tall and straight figure of the young man in the flying fish suit and the wingless hat with the word mountain character on his head. .
Turning over and dismounting, the servants who were standing under the eaves of the main porch all called out: "Master Heng is back."
Then he went inside to report the letter, and the one who came forward to lead the horse led the horse.
Jia Heng got off his horse in front of Ningguo Mansion, looked at Cai Quan, Xie Zaiyi and others who came with the retinue, and said, "Let's go after dinner?"
Cai Quan said with a smile: "Your Excellency has been tired all day, let's go back quickly, brother Xie and I are going to sit in the yamen."
Xie Zaiyi also smiled and said: "My lord, let's go back and rest earlier, tomorrow I will wait outside the residence."
Because the Three Rivers Gang does not know if there are any remaining crimes, these few days, when Jia Heng travels, Xie and Cai will lead the escort.
Jia Heng heard the words, nodded, and no longer persisted, and said with a faint smile: "Okay, after we've settled down, let's hold a banquet to celebrate."
Then, under the watchful eyes of several people behind him, he entered the mansion.
In the inner house, in the flower hall, a group of women and maids are serving.
Qin Keqing was talking to You Shi, You Second Sister, and You Third Sister.
Qin Keqing said softly: "Sister You, you can just live in the courtyard over there in Tianxiang Tower, so all the maids at home can be sent here, and go to the West Mansion over there, whether it's to the old lady's house to say hello, It's also very convenient for Xunfeng's sister-in-law to be stubborn."
Youshi sighed lightly, and said, "I live in the mansion, what name is it?"
Qin Keqing said: "Didn't the old lady say that before, no matter how unbearable that person is, you are the daughter-in-law of my Jia family after all, and all the previous things have nothing to do with you."
Youshi thought for a while, and said, "This matter should always be discussed with Brother Heng."
She was still thinking about the previous person's wish for her to remarry, and she was not happy to see her living in the Duke's mansion.
Qin Keqing smiled softly, and said: "My husband said earlier that I will arrange the affairs of the backyard. Sister You don't have to worry."
Second Sister You tilted her head to the side, listening to the conversation of the two, her gorgeous and bright jade face also showed concern.
Third Sister You watched the scene quietly and remained silent.
She could see that her eldest sister was still reluctant to part with this duke's mansion. Although her status was a bit embarrassing, she still had the dignity and style of a duke's wife after all.
"It's just that elder sister, once she enters the Duke's mansion, after three to five years, when she is alone and sleepless, will she regret today's decision?" Third Sister You's beautiful eyes flashed, thinking.
You Shi sighed faintly, Yu Rong was a little melancholy, and said: "I have entered this Duke's mansion since I was 15 years old, and it has been more than ten years in the blink of an eye. To tell you the truth, grandma Heng, let me go out to live for a while, I I don't know what to do, Grandma Heng can stay in a small courtyard temporarily, and I don't know what to say..."
People have an inertia to the original living environment, and it takes a process to re-adapt, but You Shi obviously felt out of place with the surrounding environment when he was at home these days.
After saying that, she got up from her seat and was about to bow to Qin Keqing.
Qin Keqing quickly stretched out her hand to support Youshi's arm, and said with a light smile, "Sister You doesn't have to be like this. The huge Duke's Mansion, where my husband and I lived, was already empty. Now, it's just a courtyard."
Third Sister You listened to this, her heart skipped a beat, her beautiful eyes twinkled, and she thought to herself, Grandma Heng, really doesn't know what she's talking about?The courtyard is empty, do you still hope that it will be full?How many aunts do you want to marry?
Don't you worry that the young wife has married too many and you will be left out in the cold?
But when he looked up and saw that charming face like a flower, he sighed in his heart, "I have the confidence to say that,"
Youshi's pink lips twitched, and wanted to say something, but at this moment, a woman came in from the outside and said: "Grandma Heng, the uncle is back."
Hearing this, Qin Keqing smiled sweetly and said, "Sister You sit down first, and I'll go to meet your husband."
With that said, he got up from his seat.
Youshi said softly, "Let's go and meet him together."
As they said that, several people went to the verandah, and at the veranda over there, Jia Heng came with a calm expression and pressed his sword.
Second Sister You raised her head and looked at the stern face. Gu Pansheng looked back, Yurong just paused, her beautiful eyes were bright and flowing.
Compared with the third-rank military officer's robe Jia Heng wore when we first met him, this bright and exquisite flying fish suit undoubtedly reflects the harsh and profound beauty to the extreme.
At that time, the afterglow of the setting sun shone obliquely from the overlapping rockery and parasol trees to the corridor, which just softened the sharpness and coldness on the young man's face, just like a slowly unfolding picture scroll, reflected frame by frame. Into the eyes of several people under the eaves of the corridor.
Second Sister You's bright eyes under the curved eyelashes flickered, a blush appeared on that beautiful and bright face, and her head drooped slightly, a thought came to Fang's mind, how could there be such a heroic person in this world.
Among the three sisters of the You family, it is obvious that the second sister is the most face-controlling.
Third Sister You is much more normal. Although the beautiful eyes under the willow leaf slender eyebrows do not move for a moment, they also show thoughts from time to time.
"Husband..." Qin Keqing walked forward a few steps and said.
Jia Heng's gaze landed on Qin Keqing's beautiful face, nodded, and said with a smile, "Why are you so free today?"
Qin Keqing scolded and said: "It's nothing compared to my husband who is so busy that I spend all day and night at work, and talked with Sister You for a while."
Jia Heng smiled, then raised her eyes, looked calmly at You Shi, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You, and asked, "When did Sister-in-law You come?"
To be honest, he was also a little confused about how to address You Shi, but Qing could still call you Sister You, and he called You Sister-in-law, but he was actually a little reluctant.
Because where does this sister-in-law come from?Jia Zhen?
"I arrived yesterday, and I have been talking with the old lady in Huifang Garden. What happened in front of Brother Heng? It was very worrying to hear yesterday, and Brother Heng, who didn't return last night?" You raised Raising the head, there is a bit of concern on the glamorous and bright jade face, the eyes are as bright as water, and the charming charm of Huaxin's young woman overflows silently.
It was originally an ordinary question, although the tone was slightly concerned, but everyone did not believe it. Speaking of it, it was also caused by the age gap between Jia Heng and Youshi. More than that, coupled with Jia Heng's long-term coldness,
Therefore, even Jia's mother didn't feel that there was anything wrong with You's temporary residence in Ningguo Mansion.
Only Third Sister You was holding a corner of a pink handkerchief, her beautiful eyes showed a hint of deep thought, she didn't know if it was her illusion, she always felt that this Uncle Heng and her eldest sister had something tricky.
Jia Heng said: "Last night I was busy all night, and I went to the palace to meet Sheng at noon. Things in Dongcheng are going well."
Youshi nodded, smiled gently, and said softly, "It's good that it goes well."
Qin Keqing smiled sweetly and said, "Husband, let's talk in the inner hall first."
Jia Heng smiled and agreed, then looked at Second Sister You and Third Sister You, and nodded as well.
When they got to the inner hall, they sat down again, Baozhu and Ruizhu offered tea, and then retreated behind Qin Keqing with a smile.
Jia Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip, glanced at the few people who were looking at them, and said in a warm voice, "Didn't the shouts of killing yesterday scare you?"
Qin Keqing looked worried, and said in a soft voice: "Although I was not surprised, I was worried for a while. My husband's job is becoming more and more dangerous. I heard from Baozhu that the smell of blood in the front yard is so heavy. It took a lot of spices to disperse."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then sighed and said: "This time, it's somewhat unexpected, and it probably won't happen next time."
When Qin Keqing heard the words, her jade face paled, and she said softly, "Husband, I didn't mean that."
Youshi smiled, and said softly: "Last night, we were all in a panic. She still said in the backyard that only the place around you is safe, not to mention other things. This kind of bearing is all about us. Housewives can't do it."
Hearing this, Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes to look at Qin Keqing, and met those delicate and delicate gazes, her heart moved, and she smiled.
He naturally knew that Keqing was worried about him, outsiders only saw his scenery, but they didn't know that every step he took was extremely dangerous.
He naturally understands.
The husband and wife looked at each other for a moment, and Jia Heng asked: "Where is the old lady? And sister-in-law Feng, is Brother Lian going back now?"
Qin Keqing said softly: "The old lady went back after the matter here is over. The dinner party has not yet been held, and she is still asking at noon today, when will I go to pray for blessings?"
Facing the gazes of several gazes, Jia Heng pondered for a moment, and said: "For the matter of offering sacrifices, let's wait two days, and send someone over later, saying that a dinner party will be held in Huifang Garden at night, so that the two houses can gather together to celebrate the excitement." It's so lively, it's just to make up for yesterday."
Qin Keqing nodded when she heard the words, then turned her head and told a woman to go to the West Mansion.
Jia Heng suddenly remembered something again, and asked: "Yesterday, my father-in-law and Jing Qing, why didn't they come?"
Qin Keqing sighed, and said softly: "Zhong'er caught a cold the night before yesterday, and my father was worried, so he invited a doctor for him, and said this morning that he is better."
"That's good, it's actually better if you didn't come yesterday." Jia Heng nodded and said in a clear voice: "Jingqing is still too weak. After the clan school is built, let him come to study. I will take the time to teach him. Practice martial arts."
"Well, when he comes over, I'll talk to him." Qin Keqing said softly.
You Shi and Second Sister You quietly listened to the couple's chatting about family affairs, so it was not easy to interrupt for a while, but it was difficult to speak when they wanted to leave.
