The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 604

Although Sun Yan had expressed to Jia Ke that he stood in line, Jia Ke still didn't believe him. This man betrayed once, who knows if he will betray again.

In the following period of time, the capital became more and more peaceful. The turmoil of the previous few days seemed to have never happened, and now there are still people coming and going, and a lot of traffic.

But Jia Ke is now busy with the aftermath. Although the rebellion has subsided, many people died in the first battle in the capital. Most of these people used to be the people of the capital. Jia Ke has many people.

Therefore, during this period of time, Jia Ke gave all the casualties in the capital the same treatment as soldiers who died in battle, and paid them pensions.

Moreover, he also ordered the Daolu Division to hold a water and land ceremony several times to save the souls of those who died in battle. Jia Ke also attended in person and prayed for these souls.

Sitting down like this, Brother Jia finally calmed down the families of those who died in the capital.

People in other capitals also believed that Jia Ke was benevolent and righteous. Those who died in the battle were all involved in the rebellion. It is benevolence first.

Jia Ke returned to Qianqing Palace after attending the Water and Land Ceremony, and as soon as she entered the bedroom, she lay on the bed and didn't want to move.

The two daughters Shao Yuan and Liu Xuan came over to serve Jia Ke when they heard that Jia Ke was tired. Li Deshan stood aside and couldn't intervene.

While changing Jia Ke's clothes, Shao Yuan asked Li Deshan who was standing by, "Why is our master so tired? You don't know how to wait on the side."

Li Deshan didn't dare to offend these two girls now, he knew in his heart that as long as the old lady came back from Mount Wutai, these two girls would definitely become Jia Ke's concubines, and they would also be a thousand-year-old empress in the future.

"Well, my little master, today I am offering sacrifices to the souls of those who died in battle, slave, how can I rely on my identity?"

Liu Xuan took a wet towel from the maid next to her, wiped Jia Ke's face herself, and then asked as if nothing had happened: "The old lady has been away for a while, she should be in the capital soon, right?"

What Liu Xuan said reminded Jia Ke. He turned his head and asked Li Deshan, "Where is the old lady?"

Li Deshan hurried back: "We should be in Baoding soon."

Jia Ke thought for a while, and then said: "You tell me in advance when the old lady arrives in Beijing, and I will go to meet you in person."

Li Deshan quickly agreed, keeping this matter in mind.

And now those people from Rongguo Mansion have almost reached the capital, and now they are only ten miles away from Baoding Mansion.

The servants in front had already sent news to the magistrate of Baoding Prefecture, asking them to prepare accommodation and meals for the people of Jia's residence.

And Wang An, the magistrate of Baoding Prefecture, is also capable of doing things. He knows that Jia Ke's momentum is not small now, and he has almost suppressed the Huang family. If this is the case, then these family members of Jia Ke will naturally be the future relatives of the emperor.

How could Wang An dare to be negligent? After he gathered the wealthy businessmen in Baoding, he asked them to choose a place for Jia Ke's family members to settle down.

These wealthy businessmen were also sincerely flattering, so they vacated the house of Li Quanan, the richest man in the city, and gathered all the most famous chefs in the city and sent them to Li Quanan's house for the use of these nobles.

Wang An was still not at ease, and took people to check the house several times, and found that there were no omissions, so he was relieved.

Wang An then notified the local generals and asked him to send some soldiers to surround the house, fearing that some Xiaoxiao would come to make trouble.

Next, Wang An took the officials of the whole city and the wealthy businessmen and gentry ten miles away from the city and waited in the Changting Pavilion.

They had been out since the morning, and they waited until almost noon before they saw the smoke and dust rising in front of them, and the people from Jia's mansion arrived.

Seeing people coming, Wang An quickly trotted forward and came to the front of the team.

The officers and soldiers in front saw a man in official uniform running towards him, so they didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly sent out several people to block him.

"What does this lord do?"

Wang An wiped the sweat off his brow, then cupped his hands to Xiao Bing and said, "Is this the thousand-year-old family member of King Yan?"

The little soldier frowned when he heard his question, and put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.

"Why are you asking this?"

Seeing this little soldier, Wang An was already on guard, and hurriedly said with a smile: "This little brother, I am the magistrate of Baoding Prefecture. I heard that the family of King Yan Qiansui passed by Baoding Prefecture, so I specially waited again."

Xiaobing looked Wang An up and down again, then put his hand off the handle of the knife, and then said to him: "It turns out that it is the magistrate, I don't know Mount Tai, please forgive me."

Wang An stood there and said "I dare not".

The little soldier bowed his hands to Wang An again, and then he seemed to reply later.

After a while, the little soldier came to Wang An again: "My lord, please go and answer, Mr. Wang."

Then the little soldier led the way, and then Wang An came to a carriage with someone. In this carriage was a middle-aged scholar.

Wang An didn't know who the other party was, but he knew in his heart that many people would not be surprised if he was polite, so he bowed to the ground and said respectfully: "I have seen the nobleman, the magistrate of Baoding Prefecture."

The middle-aged scholar in the car also quickly got out of the car and helped Wang An up.

"Master Wang, there is no need to be too polite. If you come down in a hurry, please forgive me, Lord Wang."

"Wherever it is, it is our Baoding Mansion's blessing that the nobleman can come."

After Wang An finished these courteous words, he quickly asked again: "I don't know the noble's name, so I should have a title for the lower officials."

"I don't dare to call you your surname. My surname is Jia Mingzheng, and the character is kept in Zhou Dynasty. Please enlighten me."

Since the magistrate of Baoding Prefecture can be an official near the capital, he naturally knows the family members of the princes and nobles in the court very well. What's more, people like Jia Ge naturally focus on inquiring. Turn pale.

He immediately fell to his knees again, "It turned out to be the old prince, please forgive me for not knowing, don't blame me."

When had Jia Zheng been treated like this before, and when he heard his name, he immediately fell to his knees and called him the old prince, and he felt very satisfied.

But Jia Zheng still cares about face. Seeing the other party kneel down, he quickly helped him up again.

"My lord, you don't have to do this. It's just that the dog has some abilities. I'm just a small fifth-rank official. I can't afford such a great gift from my lord."

Although the magistrate Wang An heard Jia Zheng's humility, he didn't dare to show any disrespect. He could only stand obediently beside Jia Zheng and listen to him.

Jia Zheng has been used to currying favor with these officials along the way. It was fine at first, but after a while, after the news that Jia Ke was proclaimed the King of Yan in the capital, these people became even more disgusting. .

When they were talking here, they saw another horse coming by, and immediately sat a young man in his twenties.

The young man got off his horse, came to Jia Zheng's side, and said to Jia Zheng: "The old lady asked me to ask the master, why did the team stop?"

Jia Zheng heard this, and hurriedly said to the man: "Go back to the old lady, and tell him that Lord Wang, the magistrate of Baoding, has brought all the civil, military and gentry from the city to meet him."

After hearing this, the young master saluted Jia Zheng quickly, then got on his horse again, and went to the back after a while.

Wang An stood watching from the sidelines, because his welcoming team had stopped, and hurriedly said: "I'm being reckless, and I asked the old prince to bring the troops and go into the city now. Prepare the old prince to settle down."

At this time, the young master came back again and said to Jia Zheng again: "The old lady is a little tired and wants to go to the city to rest."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng didn't speak anymore, so he got into the carriage again, and said to Wang An, "My lord, please lead the way."

When Wang An heard Jia Zheng's order, he was immediately happy and smiled all over his face. This kind of flattery to Jia Ke could be regarded as falling into his hands.

So this Wang An didn't ride a horse or sit in a sedan chair, and just led the way in front of him like that.

Although Wang An didn't care about the temporary suffering for the sake of his future, and the other officials could bear it in order to curry favor with Jia Ke, but those gentry and rich men couldn't stand it anymore. How could these people have come so far.

After entering the city from the long pavilion ten miles outside the city, they poured it into the house that Jia Zheng and the others had arranged. The journey made these people miserable. When they arrived at the gate, they were all disheveled and dusty. Like pampered elders.

When Jia Zheng saw the appearance of these people, he had let them ride horses and sedan chairs several times on the road, so there was no need to do so.

But Wang An refused to say anything. The officials at the bottom saw that their bosses were like this. How could they dare to ride a horse or a sedan chair?

When they got to the gate, they saw that although the house was not as splendid as the gate of Rongguo Mansion, it looked like it occupied a large area, so it was not an ordinary place.

Jia Zheng got out of the car first, and complimented each other with these officials.

At this time, Jia Amnesty also came in front of Jia Zheng, seeing Jia Zheng chatting with these people, he was a little unhappy.

"Hurry up, I'm starving to death, what are you talking about here?"

Although Wang An saw that the person who came was good-looking, but his eyes were darkened and his face was pale, he looked like a drunkard, and he dared to talk to Jia Zheng like this, so he knew that he was also a great man in the Rongguo Mansion. People, so he hurried forward and bowed to greet him.

Jia Amnesty was already tired of being complimented by these officials along the way, and without looking at him, he said to Jia Zheng, "Hurry up, don't be idle."

Seeing that Jia Amnesty was so unreasonable, Jia Zheng had no choice but to apologize to Wang An first, and then introduced Jia Amnesty's identity to Wang An. Only then did Wang An know that the person standing in front of him was Jia Zheng's elder brother. No wonder he dared to be so arrogant. .
