Chapter 512 Yucun’s Plot

Sailing north is a long journey. Unless you are in a special hurry, you have to dock at each stop for supplies.

On this day, taking advantage of the time when the boat was docked, Jia Yucun invited Jia Lian to have a drink on his official boat.

"After my good brother returns to Beijing, I'm afraid he will be promoted again."

Jia Yucun picked up the wine cup and poured a glass of wine for Jia Lian himself, and then Lang Lang smiled.

Jia Lian didn’t have much reaction to this, but just smiled and said politely.

"But Brother Xian must also be mentally prepared. This time Brother Xian caused such a big stir in Yangzhou and forced the salt merchants to pay such a large amount of tax. I'm afraid Those people behind them may not necessarily give up. After the good brother returns to Beijing, there may be people who are young and seek trouble for the good brother."

Jia Yucun was born in a serious Kejia family and was a high-ranking official. After more than ten years of ups and downs, he has certain opinions on court affairs.

Although he didn't know what instructions Jia Lian received from the emperor before leaving Beijing, he was very sure that Jia Lian had affected the interests of so many people. After returning, someone would definitely cause trouble for Jia Lian.

From his point of view, Jia Lian had previously sent five million taels of real gold and silver to Beijing. The amount of gold, silver and rare utensils on board the ship during this trip was probably quite large.

With such a huge amount of wealth, even if a person spends several months or more than half a year, he may not be able to count it completely, but Jia Lian moved it all in less than a month. Back in Beijing, Jia Yucun didn't believe it if there were no flaws or mistakes.

Those who are dissatisfied with Jia Lian will naturally start from these aspects.

As long as they get a handle on it, regardless of whether Jia Lian took advantage of the opportunity to be greedy for ink, they would not hesitate to accuse Jia Lian of being greedy for ink.

"Thank you, Brother Yucun, for reminding me. But as the saying goes, when the soldiers come, the water will be covered by the earth. As long as your majesty believes in my loyalty, some young people will not be able to hurt me."
< br /> Jia Lian faced Jiang Feng, took a sip of wine, and replied nonchalantly.

Jia Yucun burst out laughing, "It's very, very true, but Brother Yu is overly worried. With my virtuous brother's background and ability, coupled with His Majesty's trust, I am not afraid of any climb. False accusations and frame-ups can make you sit firmly on the mountain. Unlike Brother Yu, who comes from a grassroots background. Although he is lucky enough to enter an official career, he is like a duckweed without roots and his future is uncertain."

"Brother Yucun is joking, Brother Yucun Without relying on family background, relying on one's own ability, in just over ten years in the world, he has risen from a white man to a third-rank official. How many people in the world can achieve such a rapid promotion?"

"Hahaha, if it weren't for the sponsorship of your master that day, Brother Yu probably wouldn't even be able to become an official, so how could he be promoted."

Jia Yucun showed a hint of understanding on his face. Heart smile. Because what Jia Lian said is also the place where he is most content in his heart.

He was born in the grassroots and lived in the third rank of government for ten years. Not to mention this dynasty, it is definitely rare if he goes through all dynasties.

But his promotion speed does not entirely depend on himself. In fact, relying solely on his own abilities, his career was ruthlessly cut off by his superiors many years ago when he was a prefect!

If he hadn’t used Lin Ruhai’s relationship to get involved with the Jia family and the Wang family, how could he be where he is today?

It can be seen that it is better to enjoy the shade under the big tree! The world is like this, but it's no wonder that he is so arrogant and flattering.

"Take this time, for example, although I was transferred to Beijing on waiting list, where I can be assigned and what position I can take has been undecided by the superiors.

Brother Yu If you are not good at managing relationships and are not from the capital, it is very likely that you will be transferred to any place by the officials. When the time comes, it will be difficult for you to have a drink with your wise brother like this."
< br />When Jia Lian heard this, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Sure enough, Jia Yucun wanted something from him, so he started tricking him without beating around the bush.

It’s not difficult to guess Jia Yucun’s thoughts. When he became an official for the second time, he must be ambitious and ambitious, and wanted to wash away all the grievances he had suffered back then.

Such an ambitious person naturally wants to stay in the capital as an official, because only in the capital, where he can often deal with the central bosses, can he rise quickly.

However, there are only so many good positions in the capital, and he is not sure of getting them by himself, so he wants his help as the head of the Rongguo Palace, the founder of the country and a deeply rooted in the imperial court. Son.

As for whether the Jia family has this ability, others may doubt it, but Jia Yucun definitely does not doubt it, because it was Jia Zheng and Wang Ziteng who sent him to the position of Yingtian Mansion. .

At that time, Jia Zheng could fully represent the Jia family.

But Jia Yucun understood that now that Jia Lian was born in the Jia family, Jia Zheng’s weight was naturally much weaker. Naturally, he could not just please Jia Zheng but miss Jia Lian. This was very serious. Stupid behavior. This is the reason why he, who is over forty years old, looks at Jia Lian who is only twenty years old with a sullen face and calls him a good brother.

He did this kind of thing without any sense of disobedience. After all, in order to get back together, he was willing to recognize Jia Zheng, who was not ten years older than him, as his uncle.

What he was thinking in his heart was not visible on his face. Jia Lian looked thoughtful and said: "With Brother Yucun's achievements in Yingtian Mansion, it is unlikely that he will be transferred casually..."

"My dear brother, this is wrong. Although Brother Yu has few achievements, among the eighteen provinces in the world, there are not a few who have more achievements than Brother Yu.

What's more, those people Most of them have children of princes, or have old feud with several adults in the center. People like Brother Yu who have no foundation will definitely not be able to compete with them."

Jia Lian thought for a moment and nodded. Agreeing with Jia Yucun's statement, he then said: "What Brother Yucun said is not unreasonable, but Brother Yucun doesn't have to worry too much. After you come to Beijing, you will take care of one or two things. Brother Yucun is from Kejia, plus With Brother Yucun’s abilities, he will definitely be able to fill up a good position.

Unfortunately, my younger brother is a military attaché with a low official position and cannot speak much in the court. Otherwise, he would have planned a lot for Brother Yucun. "

Jia Yucun paused, smiled and raised his glass: "Look at me, today Japan just wants to see the spring weather and invites the wise brother to drink and have fun, but I do it with such mundane things. He said that he should be punished for having soiled such a beautiful scenery for nothing."

Jia Yucun said, drinking all the wine in the glass in one gulp to express self-punishment.

Jia Lian also smiled and had a drink with him. After talking about some romance, Jia Lian said goodbye and left.

After Jia Yucun sent Jia Lian off the boat, he did not go back to the cabin to rest. Instead, he continued to sit and drink alone.

“Master.”

Suddenly seeing Jiao Xing walking out, Jia Yucun asked her: “Are you going to see Mrs. Zhen?”

　“Yes.”

“You have been in contact with them for so long, are you sure of the importance of Mrs. Zhen and her daughter in Zhenyuan Hou’s side?”

Jiao Xing was stunned, and then she remembered that Jia Yucun asked her to communicate more with Feng, not just to let them relive the bond between master and servant, so she sat next to him and explained: "Of course Madam, you have nothing to say, Xiangling girl , but I am really loved by the Marquis of Zhenyuan."

As she spoke, Jiao Xing told Jia Yucun everything she had learned.

"That's very good. Since you have this connection with them, you should have a good relationship with them. It will also be of some benefit to me.

Okay, you go Let's go."

"Yes..."

...

Returning to the Lin family fleet, Jia Lian first went to the house of several oiran ladies. Take a look on the boat.

After returning to Yangzhou that day, I found twelve courtesansNone of them left, they were all still waiting for him in Yangzhou.

After a romantic affair, Jia Lian finally picked two more whom he liked to stay among the remaining ones, and gave generous rewards to the rest and made certain arrangements to repatriate them.

With the addition of Gu Qingyi and Shen Paner, there were exactly four, and they could barely form a team of dancers without being too ostentatious.

After all, those twelve people all have a relatively good reputation in the Jiangnan Fengyue Field. If they were to pack them all away in one go, the reputation of his romantic reputation would be completely spread. .

By then, it will be too difficult to deceive Daiyu and others.

At this time, he was sitting on the Taishi chair, holding the enchanting beauty Shen Paner in one arm, while enjoying the dance of the two beauties in front of him.

Of these two beauties, one is called Wan Qiyun, a Jinling singer with a beautiful and elegant singing voice, and the other is called Wei Shishi, the youngest but round and round, like a jade ring from the Tang Palace.

In fact, being able to catch Jia Lian's eyes is enough to prove the beauty of these two beauties.

Seeing Jia Lian carefully watching the dance of the two sisters, Shen Pan'er, lying in Jia Lian's arms, couldn't help feeling lonely. She raised one leg, and the skirt naturally slipped down, pressing on Jia Lian's chest and abdomen. In front of her, only her smooth jade legs were left.

Jia Lian was immediately attracted by this piece of white light, and couldn't help but touch it with his hand.

Shen Pan'er felt a little happy, so she tilted her head to Jia Lian's ear and whispered with a smile: "My lord, which one's legs are more beautiful, or the dancing postures of Sister Qiyun and Sister Shishi?" Yeah."

When Jia Lian heard this, he lowered his head and glanced at the beauty's jade legs in his hand. Even though he didn't want to follow the beauty's wishes, he had to admit that Shen Pan'er was indeed good at dancing. This It's really not a bad thing to have a pair of legs.

Slender, fair, extremely symmetrical, and absolutely perfect.

Such beautiful legs are really rare. Even Jia Lian had nothing to say. He just caressed them gently and expressed silent praise.

So Shen Paner smiled and rubbed her legs against Jia Lian more and more wantonly. Suddenly she saw Gu Qingyi sitting next to her frowning and looking at her with disapproval in his eyes. She was immediately dissatisfied. .

My reputation is not as good as yours, and my flute skills are not as good as yours. This girl reluctantly admits that, but when it comes to the jade legs that Jia Lian loves so much, she definitely doesn’t think she can’t compare to Gu Qingyi.

Then his eyes changed, he deliberately stretched his jade legs, crossed the Taishi chair, and came to Gu Qingyi's side, harassing him: "Your Excellency refuses to answer my words, Sister Qingyi is the most upright person, you Let me help you tell me whether my legs are healthy or not.It looks good. "

Gu Qingyi was just playing the piano for Wan Qiyun and the other two, when suddenly she saw a slender foot flying towards her, dangling in front of her. She couldn't help but darken her face. He raised his head and glared at Shen Pan'er.

Shen Pan'er was so frightened that she immediately retracted, hugged Jia Lian's body, and whispered coquettishly: "Sister Qingyi's eyes are so fierce, I'm so scared. ”

In this way, let alone Gu Qingyi, even Jia Lian was speechless.

If he were a contemporary, he would probably just think that Shen Paner was too mischievous, but with the Internet Jia Lian, who was born as a netizen, naturally saw through it easily. This bitch is simply a certain tea!

However, it feels quite interesting.

Jia Lian has never criticized it. What she meant was that she simply wanted to see how far she could go on this path based on her own understanding.

After all, Shen Pan'er didn't know what Jia Lian was thinking, so she made a little mischief. She snickered, leaned into Jia Lian's ear, and whispered.

Jia Lian remained silent after hearing this, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Gu Qingyi's legs.

Intuitively, Jia Lian knew that Shen Pan'er's pair of jade legs were definitely of the best quality. He still remembered that he had seen them that night on the Xiao Qinhuai River. Unfortunately, there were too many people at that time, and all he could see were white things. He couldn't tell who was who.

Jia Lian's gaze made Gu Qingyi couldn't help but hide his legs under the piano, and sighed sadly in his heart.
< br /> She understood that she would definitely not be able to compete with Shen Pan'er, because she asked herself that she couldn't do it if Shen Pan'er was so charming (saucy).

Dance for a while After that, Wan Qiyun and two other people also stood up and asked Jia Lian what else he wanted to see.

Before Jia Lian could think about it, Shen Pan'er smiled and said: "Otherwise, you will brag to the adults again. Let’s play the flute. ”

While speaking, she winked at Jia Lian.

She lay in Jia Lian’s arms and used her jade legs to seduce Jia Lian. She was naturally attracted to all Jia Lian’s reactions. She knew it well.

Seeing Wan Qiyun’s cheeks turn red, she felt quite overwhelmed, and Jia Lian couldn’t help but slap her on the buttocks.

"Why are you beating me, sir? Are you saying that I instigated my sister to suffer? If you want to have someone play Xiao for you, that's fine, but it's best to let Sister Qingyi do it. Her Xiao skills are the best. ”

Looking at the beauty’s smiling face, Jia Lian didn’t know what to say about her.

But he wouldn’t correct her against her will, right?

After all,He came here originally to have fun and relax. If he was pretending, wouldn't he be looking for trouble? If everything depends on her, Jia Lian always feels that sooner or later he will fall into the hands of this woman.

So he took a deep breath, stood up and straightened his clothes, and then said to the four beauties in a sanctimonious manner: "In the past few days, you should rehearse some more elegant dances and other music. You can also perform a show. When the time comes, I will recruit you to board the main ship and perform for your future mistress."

"Future mistress?"

Shen Pan'er Everyone was confused.

"Isn't Mrs. Marquis in the capital? Why is she on the boat again?"

But Jia Lian didn't have time to explain to them in detail. He said briefly and left in a hurry. .

Watching Jia Lian leave, Shen Pan'er turned back to look at Gu Qingyi and the others, and said, "Sisters, you can see clearly that even though we are tempting you like this, you have never taken advantage of me. I am afraid that I am worried about the Marquis’s wife and the future mistress.

It can be seen that the status of these two people in the eyes of the Marquis is not comparable to that of geishas like us.

Therefore, we sisters must not think that everything will be fine if we follow the Marquis to the capital. After arriving in the capital, we have to pay more attention to everything, otherwise, I am afraid that this thing that we have worked so hard to win will be The opportunity was in vain in the end."

The strange thing is that Shen Pan'er at this time is completely different from the charming posture before, and he actually has a somewhat wise look.

However, Gu Qingyi and others did not find it strange. Instead, they all frowned solemnly and nodded to express their approval of her words.

"But you don’t have to worry too much. With your ability, since you dare to take us back to the capital, as long as we don’t make mistakes, no one will dare to risk your anger. Come and humiliate us.

Furthermore, I would like to see what a woman who can be so loved by such a person like you looks like. So, next, we will all follow your instructions. , rehearse carefully.

Oh, by the way, when your Excellency returns to Beijing this time, he will hand over the position of Imperial Envoy, so from now on, we will call you Lord Marquis, Lord Zhenyuan, this This is your true identity, sisters, please don’t forget it.”
