The first visitor today was really beyond Jia Qiang's expectation.

In other words, he didn't know who the visitor was at all.

Jia Zheng, on the other hand, was startled for a moment and then, filled with confusion, he went to greet him first: "Master Zhao! Ouch, rare visitor, rare visitor!"

The people who came were all dressed in fine clothes and official uniforms, and Jia Qiang couldn't remember which Mr. Zhao they were.

It was not until the leader, a man with a very dignified official manner, returned the courtesy to Jia Zheng that he smiled bitterly and said: "Cunzhou, today our Zhao family has the audacity to come to the door and act like a bad guest without even an invitation. It's really rude."

!”

When Jia Zheng heard this, he blamed himself even more: "Oh! It's all the fault of the lower officials. It's really negligent, negligent!"

The leader hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Cunzhou, today it is better not to judge the superiority based on official title, otherwise I will have to pay homage to Marquis Ning!"

Jia Zheng smiled hurriedly and said: "Sir..."

"Eh?"

The Zhao family said with a smile: "With your family background and talents, Cunzhou, you are definitely worthy of calling me your cousin."

Jia Zheng hesitated for a moment, but he still followed the good example, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Then just be frivolous for a day and call me the eldest brother!"

After saying that, he turned to Jia Qiang and said, "Qiang'er, this is Mr. Zhao, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

The visitor raised his hand and announced his home: "Ninghou, I am Zhao Dongshan." Then he pointed to the younger man next to him and said: "I don't think Ninghou has heard of this person. This is my younger brother.

Dong Lin, the father of Bo'an." Then he pointed to the young man behind him and said, "This is my son, Zhao Bohong, who is now a concubine in the Hanlin Academy."

Jia Qiang understood, raised her hands and said with a smile: "It turns out that Bo'an's eldest daughter is here, I'm very honored."

Zhao Dongshan smiled and nodded, and said to Jia Zheng, who looked puzzled: "Oh! Cunzhou, brother Yu has no idea. My brother Donglin has an only son who is not good at anything, so he just wants to weave and dye. He is extremely obsessed with it.

! Before Marquis Ning took up the title, he came up with a very clever recipe. My crazy nephew was fascinated after seeing it. When he found out that this recipe was actually made by Marquis Ning, he went there desperately.

Learn from a teacher!

At that time, Ninghou had already gone to Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, so he went to Yangzhou alone, determined to become Ninghou's disciple. It was not bad, but perhaps Ninghou's madness impressed Ninghou, and he really accepted him as his disciple.

Bo'an's letter came back and said that he had given everything to him. Cunzhou, tell me, with such a fate, what can we, as adults, say? Fortunately, this child Bo'an is also considered filial, and he must be in Ninghou

I will stay there for five years before I am willing to come back. I must learn more skills there and contribute more to my master, Ning Hou.

Of course we were relieved, so we never sent anyone to call him back, nor did we dare to disturb Marquis Ning. But now that we have this fate, you and I will be more close to each other in the future. I have been busy with official matters,

I only found out about this recently. My brother Donglin has wanted to visit Ninghou for a long time, but his identity is not enough, so he repeatedly asked me to come forward.

As an elder brother, what else can I do? I have no choice but to bring him and Quanzi to visit as this unwelcome guest!"

Jia Zheng suddenly understood after hearing this, and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect that the two families still have such a close relationship. It's time to get closer and closer. Please invite me as soon as possible. Please invite me as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he also winked at Jia Qiang, indicating that he must not neglect her.

In the peaceful and prosperous times, although Wu Xun's status was high, his actual power was far inferior to that of these official giants who came from serious academic backgrounds and worked hard for decades.

Zuo Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is already a powerful official in the imperial court. Even if he goes to a prince's palace or a prince's palace, he is definitely a well-deserved guest.

Jia Qiang naturally understood that although she believed less than 30% of what Zhao Dongshan said, she only guessed that the drunkard's intention was Lin Ruhai, but without thinking much about it, she invited the Zhao family to enter the Ning'an Hall.

But before they could be led in, they heard the sound of horse hoofbeats coming from Ningrong Street. Everyone turned around and saw Feng Ziying, the son of Shenwu General Feng Tang, Wang Shouzhong, the young boss of the Hengsheng Wang family, the cold-faced gentleman Liu Xianglian, and the noble officer Jiang Yuhan.

People come together.

Seeing a group of young people, the Zhao family lost interest, but Zhao Donglin and Zhao Dongshan reminded them, who was the young proprietor of the Hengsheng Wang family...

Jia Qiang and Jia Zheng said, "I'd like to invite the distinguished guests to sit down first. These four people are my old friends and have gone to welcome them."

Jia Zheng was a little surprised when he heard this, and felt a little anxious and dissatisfied. There is a Zuodu Yushi from the Metropolitan Procuratorate here. Why don't you personally entertain them and pay attention to those young people?

Wouldn't it be enough to let Jia Yun and the others take care of these people?

Jia Qiang saw something famous and said with a smile: "That is Feng Ziying, the son of General Shenwu. That is Wang Shouzhong, the grandson of the Minister of Rites, and the young proprietor of the Wang family's Hengsheng."

Jia Zheng suddenly understood, and Zhao Dongshan also understood and said with a smile: "Cun Zhou, let them entertain the young people. Although Marquis Ning has won the noble position as a young man, he is still a young man after all." He then said to his son Zhao Bo.

Hongdao: "Bo Hong, you stay here. Firstly, you can help welcome the guests and do your part on Boan's behalf. Secondly, you are also a young man, so you should get closer and closer."

After Zhao Bohong bowed in agreement, after Jia Zheng led Zhao Dongshan and Zhao Donglin inside, he followed Jia Qiang to greet the guests.

Little did he know that Jia Qiang was becoming increasingly wary of the Zhao family, wondering what the Zhao family was up to.

As one of the backbone of Jingchu's old ministers, does the Zhao family want to turn around?

However, this was not the time to think deeply. Jia Qiang stepped forward and stopped Feng Ziying and others who were pretending to be polite. She laughed and scolded: "Stop doing this and pretending! Meng Jian, Erlang, Yuhan, please get out of the way. I'll look at Chaozong."

Do you really want to worship me?"

Wang Shouzhong, Liu Xianglian, and Jiang Yuhan laughed and got out of the way, while Feng Ziying cursed angrily: "Forget it, forget it, I didn't let you kneel down just now, now I won't kneel down again, I don't kneel down, I don't kneel down!"

Everyone laughed again. Jiang Yuhan stepped forward, looked at Jia Qiang and said softly: "Does Marquis Ning still recognize me as an old friend?"

Jia Qiang said "Hey", waved her hands and said: "What are you talking about? When I cooked porridge with a tile, Yuhan didn't think I was humble, but generously gave me money to help. How can you say such a thing today? Come on!

Marquis Moning and Marquis Changning are short-lived, but everyone still calls each other by his old reputation."

Liu Xianglian laughed and said: "Although I am a latecomer, seeing that Brother Qiang is so chivalrous, I am willing to shamelessly cling to him and make friends with him!"

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "We have been friends for a long time. Erlang said that we have been separated for a long time, but he is no longer like you."

Wang Shouzhong met Zhao Bohong here, and he asked curiously: "Your Zhao family is actually here too?"

Zhao Bohong laughed and said: "What Meng Jian said is so mysterious. Your Wang family can come, but my Zhao family can't?"

Jia Qiang saw Wang Shouzhong looking at him and said to him, "Do you know about Zhao Bo'an, the son of Dongsheng's boss?"

Wang Shouzhong nodded and said, "I have heard about the genius of weaving and dyeing."

Jia Qiang said: "He is in Yangzhou now, helping me manage the Delinbu number in my name. We will talk about it later in the evening when we are free."

Wang Shouzhong suppressed his surprise and nodded: "Okay, I'm not allowed to leave tonight!"

Everyone laughed again, and Jia Qiang was personally leading them in. Unexpectedly, Jia Jun came hurriedly behind and said: "Brother, the second brother Yun from the front sent word that the carriages, horses, mules, and sedan chairs of the four princes in Dongping, Nan'an, Beijing, and Xining It’s almost here, and the Duke of Zhen and Duke Li’s family are also here too!”

Feng Ziying said hurriedly: "Brother Qiang, you go about your business. Why are you entertaining us?"

Wang Shouzhong, Liu Xianglian, and Jiang Yuhan also hurriedly advised: "We don't need outsiders, it's important to entertain foreigners well."

Jia Qiang was no longer polite and asked Jia Jun to lead them in.

He took a deep breath and went to greet the distinguished guests...

…

Daming Palace, Yangxin Palace.

After reading the memorials submitted by the governors of Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Shandong and Gansu provinces, Emperor Long'an looked ashen and felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest.

Depressed, angry, and dissatisfied!

Why?

Why has he never had a good year since he came to the throne?

Last year there was a severe flood, but this year there is a severe drought!

There was a severe drought last year, but there is still no improvement this year!

It's okay to have a drought in Gansu. The output is small and the population is not large, so it is easy for the court to provide relief.

But in the four provinces of Henan, Lianghu, and Shandong, a severe drought in each province can kill people. Not to mention the large population, they are all major grain-producing provinces. Once the harvest fails, the entire Yanyan will be plunged into turmoil!

I ransacked Wu's house a few days ago and was delighted to get a huge sum of money, but it has long since disappeared without a trace.

I originally thought that the internal treasury was finally sufficient, so I could take a breather, maybe build a garden, and take the concubines to escape the summer heat.

Now, you need to repair his mother’s legs!!

Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace, looked at Emperor Long'an's darkened face and was frightened. In the end, he mustered up the courage and said with a smile: "Long live my lord, don't be too upset. It's only February 12th now. There are only a few days of winter. Although there has been no rain in the south of the Yangtze River, I am willing to live twenty years to guarantee that the spring rain must have been delayed, and it will definitely not fail to come. Maybe it will start raining in the two lakes by now."

Although Emperor Long'an was impatient, he still felt the filial piety of this slave. Instead of scolding him, he asked: "Where is Qin Tian Jian? They have been waiting for three days. Today is the last day. If there is no result, don't blame me." …”

Before he finished speaking, Huang Men'er came in as silently as a cat, knelt down and said: "Long live, please see me outside the Wende Hall in the south of the Qintian Prison!"

"Xuan!"

Emperor Long'an was shocked and said hurriedly.

After Huangmen went down, he said in a sharp voice: "Xuan, Qin Tian Jian is here to see you!"

An old man with white beard and white eyebrows, wearing the uniform of a fifth-rank official, followed the yellow gate into the palace.

After kneeling down and worshiping, Emperor Long'an looked at this man and asked in a deep voice: "Qin Tian Supervisor observes the celestial phenomena, can you tell what is the reason why no rain falls in the five provinces?"

Nan Wende knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers led the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor Si Li, Si Chen, Bao Zhangzheng, Ling Tailang and other officials to stay up all night for three days to calculate the movement of the stars and finally get the result..."

"How to say?"

Emperor Long'an looked at Nan Wende with evil eyes and asked.

For such large-scale celestial anomalies, Emperor Long'an could not find any other reason other than the emperor's lack of moral character throughout history.

If there really is anyone who can influence such a celestial phenomenon, the first thing he will do is to kill him!

But if he got a bad reputation for not practicing good morals, Emperor Long'an couldn't guarantee whether he would personally smash the head of Nan Wende, the head of Qintian Supervisor!

Nan Wende's back was almost soaked with sweat, but his expression remained unchanged as he said: "Your Majesty, I dare to guarantee with the lives of my whole family that the Ziwei Emperor Star in the sky is bright and shines in the universe. No matter which stargazer looks at it, it will never be the same."

The wrath of God caused by the emperor’s misconduct!”

Seeing what he said was categorical, Emperor Long'an slowly loosened his clenched fists, but his eyes did not relax. He frowned and said: "If the emperor had not lost his virtue, how could other people be so virtuous and capable of causing the celestial phenomena to change like this?"

Nan Wende's expression changed slightly, but he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, although the Emperor's Star of Ziwei shines brightly in the world, there are small stars around it that are dim. There are unscrupulous people in this Lord's Heavenly Family, and they even have the intention of violating Ziwei.

, there is a mistake that endangers the country. I still hope that your majesty will have to investigate!"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Long'an's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes were as sharp as cannibalism again!

…
