Chapter two hundred and thirty eight bright
"What, are you scared?"
Seeing Jia Qiang looking at him blankly, Lin Ruhai laughed and asked.
Jia Qiang swallowed her saliva and forced a smile and said: "Uncle, let's go, take my aunt and Aunt Lin with us, and let's fly far away."
Lin Ruhai shook his head and said with a smile: "Thirty percent, just pay back 30% within one year."
However, Jia Qiang did not relax too much, her face was still ugly and she said: "This is to force my uncle to be a lonely minister. Let's do it now. If the day comes that I can't bear to say anything, my uncle, you
…”
Seeing his brows furrowed together, Lin Ruhai laughed out loud and asked curiously: "Qiang'er, why are you so timid?"
"Pfft!"
Aunt Mei, who had already been put into a panic by Jia Qiang, calmed down when she heard Lin Ruhai's laughter. When she heard this again, she immediately laughed out loud. Daiyu also looked at Jia Qiang teasingly, but the look in her starry eyes
But she can't hide her worry, because unlike Aunt Mei, she seems to trust Jia Qiang more...
Lin Ruhai sat on the chair, holding the crutch with both hands, looked at Jia Qiang and smiled warmly: "Indeed, even if it is only 30%, it is still difficult. However, there is a huge leeway. As long as there are enough means, it will not happen
It’s the situation you mentioned. Qiang’er, the weather is with us! Don’t be afraid, there’s nothing to be afraid of!”
In fact, from Lin Ruhai's point of view, Emperor Long'an was already extremely gracious.
If a figure of 30% is set, then after he takes office, he will only need to publicize that the deficit will be strictly investigated, but if he spreads the word in private, he can recover the deficit at several levels.
The lowest is 30%, the next first is 50%, the next is 70%, and the last is full.
Pick a batch of chickens that are strong enough, and use the heads on their necks to carve out the houses to serve as a warning to monkeys, and then use the remaining 30% or 50% to appease people's hearts.
Being strict and lenient may still offend many people, but it is far from being a lonely subject.
Furthermore, once the Supreme Emperor is in power and Long Yu dies, it will be the day when Han Bin, Li Han, Zhang Gu, Dou Xian, Zuo Xiang and other famous officials of the Qing Dynasty will return to the court.
By then, when everyone is in full swing, does he still have to worry about becoming a lonely minister?
In addition, after the emperor shows his favor, Jia Qiang, a good minister of the Supreme Emperor, will also contribute to the sword. In this way, when the famous officials who were demoted from the capital due to the turmoil caused by Jia Qiang return, they will not look for him again.
Back account.
Of course, the premise is to survive these few years. In addition, it is best for the Supreme Emperor to die as soon as possible...
But in Lin Ruhai's view, these are not absolutely difficult things.
Having said this, Jia Qiang could only nod slowly, then shake her head and smile: "Well, there are risks in everything you do. If you really want to fly away and escape overseas, the possibility of being destroyed by a storm on a sea-going ship is no less than if you stay in Beijing.
But let me explain in advance, I know that my great-uncle is not afraid of anything, and I am not afraid of anything either. I am mainly worried about Aunt Lin and my aunt."
Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Yes, yes, you are absolutely right. Brother Qiang, you are not afraid of anything. It's just my aunt and I who are timid."
Lin Ruhai and Aunt Mei laughed together, Jia Qiang chuckled, glanced sideways at Daiyu, and sneered.
Daiyu immediately stopped and stared at him: "Why are you laughing?"
Jia Qiang said: "I have either told you not to spread my poems outside the world, or it is just a joke at home. If you spread it today, others will think that I am like Li Du. Wouldn't it be bad?"
Dai Yusheng laughed angrily and spat: "Bah! How shameful! You have written two rudimentary poems and you dare to compare yourself to Li Du and others?"
Jia Qiang snorted and smiled, saying: "Li Bai, Du Fu, I don't even bother to do that."
"Hey! Li Du doesn't even pay attention to you?"
Aunt Mei, who was also a talented girl in the boudoir, couldn't stand hearing it anymore and said she was unfair.
Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "In terms of Gongde, these two people have not made any contribution to the people of Jiangshan, Jiji, Li and Li. In terms of private virtue, Li Taibai wanders around all day without leaving home, and eats and drinks when he has some money. Outsiders only know his He is handsome, has a five-flowered horse, and has a golden fur, and his son will be exchanged for fine wine. But if I were his father, I would have to give him a big mouth, a homeless guy..."
Before she finished speaking, Daiyu had already covered her face with an embroidered handkerchief in both hands, and her thin shoulders began to shake desperately.
Aunt Mei couldn't help but laugh, and complained to Lin Ruhai: "Master, you don't care about him anymore, it's getting more and more disrespectful. You still want to be Shixian's father. If the news spreads outside, won't it cause trouble..."
Lin Ruhai looked at the cheerful concubine and daughter, and her mood became much brighter. She chuckled and said, "Qiang'er knows what she's doing. I'm just trying to make you laugh at home. It won't be like this outside."
After another round of joking, Jia Qiang saw the dark night outside and said, "Uncle, please go to bed early. Your old body and bones have not recovered yet, so you should focus on self-cultivation."
Lin Ruhai said "hmm" and then warned: "Go to Ning Mansion tomorrow. Rong Mansion has sent the certificate for you to the Clan Mansion. In a few days, you will be asked to take the exam for the title." The note will be sent over, and it's just a formality. Qiang'er, the Xifu's private division of the Dongfu's wealth happened before we returned to Beijing. Even if the emperor knew about it, he wouldn't take his anger out on you. But next, Just don't do too much. You are not the only smart person in this world. And the last thing you can't do in the capital is to feel resentful. You are a very smart child, do you understand what I mean?"
Jia Qiang solemnly nodded and said: "Don't worry, sir, I understand. Now that we have just returned from Yangzhou, we are the center of attention. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us overtly and covertly. It doesn't matter if you do other things. If you are smart and resist the holy will, that is a waste." It is a disastrous act that makes the emperor think that I, a good minister of the Supreme Emperor, do not want to fight with him... What the Xifu has done is already a surprise, and doing more would be superfluous."
What Jia Mu and Jia She did has greatly reduced Emperor Long'an's kindness to Jia Qiang, giving him a lot of room to make difficult decisions.
This was an unintentional achievement, and Emperor Long'an couldn't blame him.
But if he goes to the trouble himself, that would be two different things and he would feel resentful.
This is the difference between Beijing and Yangzhou.
In Yangzhou Prefecture, Yanyuan Yamen was the highest-ranking Yamen, and Jia Qiang could do whatever she wanted without any scruples.
But in the capital, for now, not to mention Jia Qiang, there are many officials higher than Lin Ruhai.
Not to mention, there is also the Tian family clan above.
You should be careful, careful, and more careful...
…
The next morning.
Jia Qiang opened her eyes, felt the dryness in her nose, and shook her head.
It's strange that when people from Jiangnan mentioned the capital, they thought it was a bitter and cold place, but it was indeed a bit dry.
Carefully untying Xiang Ling's naked buttocks that were wrapped around his body like an octopus, and putting her under the quilt to cover her up, Jia Qiang got up and went out for a day of morning exercise.
After waiting for half an hour, after washing up under Xiang Ling's service, the two of them headed from the East Road Courtyard to the West Road Courtyard.
Seeing Daiyu in Qingzhuyuan, who had just practiced Wu Qian Kung Fu, Jia Qiang folded her hands in front of her chest and said with a smile: "If the Jia family saw you practicing "Five Animals", Aunt Lin, wouldn't they? To laugh their big teeth off?”
"Pooh!"
Daiyu looked a little red with a look of embarrassment on her face, and spat: "Are you still talking about me? It's obviously you who forced me to practice, and now my son is laughing at me."
Jia Qiang shook her head and smiled: "Why am I laughing at you? Only people who don't want you to be good will laugh at you. After you practice these things, you can stretch your muscles and bones, use more rice, and your qi and blood are much better. If you stick to it, you will always be able to May you live a long life and grow old.”
"puff!"
Zicuckoo behind Daiyu almost choked to death as she breathed out, but Xiangling stayed up and looked up at the blue sky and counted the stars, one, two, three, and four...
Daiyu's pretty face turned red, her starry eyes were like morning dew, she glared at Jia Qiang and said, "Brother Qiang, what did you say?"
It's just that this voice is like gold beads falling on a jade plate, crisp and sweet, with a hint of shyness but no real anger.
Jia Qiang, like a scoundrel, said with a puzzled face: "What, what's wrong?"
"you……"
Daiyu glared at him fiercely, turned around and left.
Jia Qiang laughed and followed.
Zijuan was about to follow her in a hurry, but she found that Xiangling had walked around behind her without knowing it. She turned around and almost bumped into her. Zijuan cursed angrily: "You little hooves, you are acting stupid again!" "
Xiangling chuckled, looked at Zijuan in a charming way and said, "Sister Zijuan, have you eaten? My mother is steaming steamed buns today, do you want to eat them?"
Zijuan angrily stretched out her hand and tapped the red mole between Xiangling's eyebrows, gritted her teeth and said with an angry smile: "What kind of master can you learn from?"
However, having said that, Zicuckoo now understands it.
Now that the master of the Lin family has turned the corner and returned to the capital, Daiyu is no longer the helpless orphan girl who cried every night. Her destiny is no longer limited to the Jia family and no longer depends on others.
Mr. Lin and Aunt Mei also seem to be very fond of Jia Qiang. Now that she is not a fool, how can she continue to be a villain?
When the two entered the main hall, they found that Xueyan had already brought breakfast and Daiyu was gently sipping milk with frosting sugar, but it was only a small cup.
In stark contrast, there are four bowl-sized buns stacked in front of Jia Qiang, a large bowl of milk, two eggs, four dishes of side dishes, and a plate of plain beef...
Daiyu slowly sipped the milk and watched Jia Qiang eat half of the breakfast table like a gust of leaves. She couldn't help laughing and said: "Look at you, you are not as fat as Sister Bao. You don't have enough to eat all day long." when."
Jia Qiang almost choked on a mouthful of milk. After swallowing it, she looked strangely and said, "Why is it so good? What is Aunt Tibao doing?"
"Aunt Bao?"
Daiyu's eyes were full of curiosity and she asked doubtfully: "Didn't we always be Aunt Xue before? When did you change your name to Aunt Bao?"
Jia Qiang peeled an egg open, bit off half of it, and said, "It was your sister Tiantian Bao, who abducted me by calling her sister Bao... Aunt Lin, why do you miss her so much?"
"Pooh!"
Hearing Jia Qiang's joke, Daiyu spat in shame and said, "Do I miss her? I'm worried that you will be coaxed. Don't be ignorant of good people's hearts!"
In Daiyu's eyes, Sister Bao always seemed to be hiding a traitor in her heart.
Now that the interests of Jia Qiang and the Xue family are so entangled, she always has to remind someone more to avoid being coaxed into it.
Jia Qiang looked at Daiyu, chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'll spare you the trouble." After a pause, she asked again, "I'll go to Jia's house after dinner and have a look at Dongfu. Are you going to go there today?" past?"
Daiyu shook her head and said: "We can't go through today. There are new things happening in the house. I have to help my aunt tidy up. Besides, I also have to serve dad with medicine."
Jia Qiang smiled and said: "That's okay... By the way, you are going to entertain guests in the future, do you want me to have someone book a table in advance?"
Daiyu smiled and said: "The cook at home is from the South. It is just right for the sisters to try the food from the South. There is no need to prepare anything else."
Jia Qiang nodded after hearing the words, stood up and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Well, if you have any ideas, I will tell you when I get back. My aunt and father-in-law haven't gotten up yet, so when they get up, I will say hello to you." ,I go first."
"Oh, I see."
