The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 462
Jia Mu was quite satisfied with this thing, then she brought the dagger to Shi Nai, and said to him: "My eldest brother is a military commander and he likes to play with these things. I think this thing is also a fine product. Take it Make a token."

Shi Nai took it over and looked at it carefully, he was also a little surprised, he is also considered a noble family, but he has never seen such a gorgeous weapon.So he couldn't help but pulled out the dagger from its sheath and looked carefully, only to see a gust of cold wind rushing towards him, the dagger was shining with cold light, it looked like a treasure that had cut iron like mud.

Shi Nai hurriedly put the dagger back into its sheath, and put it close to his body.Then he said to Mother Jia: "Since the tokens have been exchanged, I think this matter is settled."

Jia's mother said happily from the side: "Then it's settled. But we Xiangyun are still young now, so we don't need to worry about it, we just get married like this, and it won't be too late to consummate their house in a few years."

Shi Nai also felt that it would be inappropriate to send Shi Xiangyun here now, after all, Shi Xiangyun is not very old now, so he followed Jia Mu and said: "What my aunt said is exactly, and it will not be too late for them to consummate their marriage in a few years. "

Jia Zheng knew it was time for him to speak, so Mother Jia ordered him to keep an eye on Shi Nai for an errand, which he discussed with Jia Ke just now, so why not bring it up now to save Shi Nai from being at peace when he goes back.

"Brother, your cousin hasn't had any job at home these years, and his income is very meager. You should find a way to let him have a real job, so as to make life easier for the family." Jia Zheng said to Jia Ke.

When Jia's mother and Shi Nai heard Jia Zheng's words, they looked at Jia Ke together, especially Shi Nai's eyes sparkled with excitement. He gave Shi Xiangyun to Jia Ke, didn't he just ask for it once?

Jia Ke thought for a while and said to Jiamu: "Old lady, I don't know if I want to be affordable, or to be classy?"

Sitting on it, Jia Mu asked in confusion: "Is there any difference? Isn't the bigger the official, the more lucrative it is?"

Now the people below are all my own family members, so my mother didn't have any scruples, and directly said something like "oil and water".

It seems that Jia's mother is also a little worried about her nephew. After all, it is rare in the world that a dignified Marquis is so poor that he asks his family's female relatives to make needlework for sale.

How many years Jia Zheng has been an official, he knew the secret, and quickly explained to Jia Mu: "Old lady, there is a big difference. I think, if you want to rank, as your cousin's marquis status, you get a three-year-old. It’s normal to have a fourth-rank errand. But if you want to get benefits, you can only take a fifth- and sixth-rank real job in the local area. In this way, you can earn tens of thousands of taels after one term.”

After hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia Ke hurriedly cupped his hands to Jia's mother and said, "Old lady, it's exactly what father said, grandson, although I have some power, I'm afraid I'm not the one who wants to be both rich and powerful. One can decide."

After asking Jia Zheng and Jia Ke what Jia Mu had said, she felt that this was also the case. There is no one in the world who gives all good things to one person.Want to make money and want to be a high official, there is no such thing in the world.

So Shi Nai, who was next to the portrait of Mother Jia, took a look, "What do you mean? You have to think about it."

Shi Nai thought about it for a while, and felt that he was already a marquis, and it was useless to ask for any more grades. It would be better to do a real job in the local area for a while, earn some money, and live a good life at home.

Shi Nai then stood up and turned to Jia Mu. Jia Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, old lady and cousin, for your care. I think I'm a Marquis now. What grade do I want? It's better to be more affordable. Give me a position that can make money. I can also get some money for a better life at home in the future.”

After hearing what he said, Mother Jia couldn't help nodding her head, thinking that he was more able to recognize the reality.

So Mother Jia turned her head and said to Jia Ke: "Your cousin is right, what grade do you want? It's better if you have some money at home. You just need to arrange a better position for him. "

Shi Nai is staring at Jia Ke closely now, it depends on what position he arranges for himself.

Jia Ke was able to settle with these officials of the fifth and sixth ranks with one word.He thought for a while and said, "Does Uncle want to be more leisurely, or do you want to earn more oil and water?"

When Jia Mu heard Jia Ke asking again, she was a little upset, "Just say what you have to say, what's the point of doing this all the time?"

Jia Ke quickly stood up and bowed to Mother Jia, "It's my grandson's fault, I didn't make it clear. If you want to be more relaxed, you should go to the south to find a richer state capital, and be a magistrate or magistrate. I think I can make a lot of money in a few years. If you want better oil and water, you can go to places like Yangzhou. But this place is an important pass for the imperial court. There are officials at all levels of the Salt Road. It’s not very comfortable to go there, but Yangzhou is where the world’s salt roads converge, and being a magistrate there is more lucrative than being a few in other places.”

Jia Ke paused for a moment, and then said: "Actually, other places are also good. Although there is less oil and water, it is more stable. And the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River, although it is not as rich as Yangzhou, but there are also - three years of clearing the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes According to Yin, after this term, it can also alleviate the hardship of the old uncle."

Mother Jia nodded after listening to Jia Ke's words. To be honest, she still wanted Shi Nai to go to a safe place. Although the money was less, the responsibilities were less, and there were not so many people watching.

But Mother Jia knew that Shi Nai had been poor all these years. If he went to a place like Yangzhou, he would definitely try his best to make money. There are several other yamen watching over there. It's better to go to the rich and prosperous counties in the south, where the Emperor Tiangao is far away from the jurisdiction, and let him make troubles, as long as there are no major incidents, I think Jia Ke can cover it up for him.

But Shi Nai didn't think so. After listening to Jia Ke's words, Shi Nai's eyes were shining brightly. He had heard about the wealth of Yangzhou a long time ago, where wealth of millions is not considered top-notch. Only those with wealth of tens of millions can be called. rich.If you become a magistrate there, the money you make will go to the sea.

Moreover, it has always been almost impossible for the magistrate of Yangzhou to be in the court if there is no one.Now it is because of Jia Ke's work as the foreman of the military aircraft department, so I have hope of getting this position.

So Shi Nai hurriedly said to Jia Ke: "Since serving the imperial court, how can there be so much freedom. I think Yangzhou is good, and can contribute to the imperial court."

Knowing what he meant, Jia Ke smiled and said, "Since my cousin chose Yangzhou, I should go back and make some preparations. I will give you a letter within half a month."

Mother Jia laughed and said, "What's the matter of half a month? You can write a letter and seal it now, and let him go inside."

Jia Zheng hurriedly dissuaded Jia's mother from the side: "Mother can't do it. Now that the magistrate of Yangzhou is taking office, he will stay well. You must give someone an explanation, otherwise you will be transferred and let others know. It will damage the reputation of our mansion." not good."

And Jia Zheng didn't say anything about another meaning, that is, the current prefect of Yangzhou is the Taishanghuang's cronies, and Jia Ke wanted his old uncle to be the prefect of Yangzhou, so he had to give an explanation to the Taishanghuang.

Mother Jia knew what Jia Zheng was talking about, so she said helplessly to Shi Nai who was beside her: "In that case, you can go back and wait for a while, after all, the court is not run by our family, and your cousin and nephew are also planning something. "

Since Shi Nai got Jia Ke's approval letter, he was already very happy, so what if he waited for a while?So he bowed to Jia Mu Jia Zheng and Jia Ke again and again.

After the business was finished, Mother Jia ordered someone to hold a banquet in the hall.This nephew hadn't come to the house for many years, and Jia Mu was very happy to come to Jiamu this time, so she wanted to keep him for a meal no matter what.

Naturally, Shi Nai knew that the position he got now was thanks to Jia Mu who was in the middle of it, so he tried his best to please Jia Mu, so there was no reason why he would dare to disagree.

So in the living room of Jia Mu's room, a big round table was set up.

Jia Mu sat in the middle, Jia Zheng and Shi Nai accompanied her on both sides, and Jia Ke sat opposite Jia Mu.After a while, all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas were delivered together.

Because Jia Ke now lives in the highest class in the official residence of the Jia family, their life is more luxurious than before.Now this table of dishes is flying in the sky and swimming in the water swimming in the ground. There is everything, and there are all kinds of cherished seafood.

These are just ordinary things, there are some rare and good things on the table, such as the bear paw from Liaodong, the shark's fin from the South China Sea, and even a foot-long prawn.Apart from the Jia family, some things are almost absent even in the palace.

That's not to mention, there are all kinds of sophisticated practices, which are simply unheard of.

Shi Nai stared at the side and spoke straight, just this table of dishes was enough for their family's expenses for a month.Only now did he know how far the gap between himself and the Rongguo Mansion was.

Now he regrets it very much, why he couldn't let go of his face at the beginning, and came to beg his aunt early.Otherwise, the whole family would not have suffered like that all these years.

Jia Zheng didn't know Shi Nai's thoughts, and he didn't care about these common affairs. Over the years, he only felt that the food was better than before, and he didn't care about other things.

Jia Zheng sat there pouring wine and vegetables for Jia Mu and Shi Nai.Keep persuading them to eat more.

Sitting on it, Jia's mother watched Shi Nai, Jia Zheng and others eating happily together, feeling infinitely satisfied.Now that I am old, I like to watch the family live happily and happily.

It took more than an hour to finish this meal, and Shi Nai was already a little drunk after the meal.Over the years, he finally let go of the troubles in his heart and was able to drink wine easily.Therefore, in terms of quantity, I can't control myself.

Seeing that Shi Nai was a little drunk, Jia Mu hurriedly ordered someone to take him to the guest room.Then he sent someone to Baolinghou's Mansion to report, so as not to worry the family members.
