Chapter 51 Seeking Help
When it comes to studying, Jia Zhen has no choice but to obey.
"Yes! My son will do it tomorrow."
In the future, the palace guards will be low-ranking generals. If they want to be promoted, they will be assessed on more than just their military strength.
Reading more about the Dazhao Code and the official reports will indeed help them in their future assessments.
"Over at the academy, the two gentlemen are also reading the newspaper."
Jia Zhen said, "My son will ask someone to buy two more copies later."
"Hmm~"
Shen Ning nodded. "I remember that at the Imperial College, there are often teachers who explain the contents of the court bulletin to the students. When you have time, ask Zhu'er to bring back a few copies and send them to the academy."
The two newly invited gentlemen were both juren, which did not cut off their chances of becoming examiners.
Making more good connections will benefit others and yourself.
"Oh, yes, there are also the examination papers and test questions over there, which can be used not only by the teachers but also by the children of the Jia family."
Anyone who is interested can learn more.
In Shen Ning's mind, every bit of learning counts.
"yes!"
Not only his cousin Jia Zhu but also his father-in-law Lord Li was at the Imperial College, so it would be very convenient to get these things. Jia Zhen nodded on the spot.
At this time, the servant Xing'er came hurriedly, "Madam, Master, Master Zhu from the West Mansion is here. He came from the Wang family and said he has something to discuss with you."
Jia Zhen and his mother looked at each other and said, "I heard that Wang Zisheng is still in danger. Wang Ziteng's injury means that his work in the Beijing camp will be temporarily suspended. I'm afraid... he will come to our house for help."
"…Before helping others, you must first protect yourself."
Shen Ning said calmly, "The person who can design Wang Ziteng to this point may be able to design our family."
"Yes!" Jia Zhen nodded. "Son knows what to say. Son will take his leave first."
"Go ahead!"
Shen Ning waved her hand and watched Haodaer walk away, then she waved to Qingping and said, "Go and find out about the Wang family."
Around her, Qingping is the best at gossiping.
There was nothing in the two mansions that she couldn't find out.
"yes!"
Qingping knew the servant beside Jia Zhu, and went away with a smile when she heard it.
In the front hall, Jia Zhu had been waiting for a while.
He even washed his face as he would at home. When Jia Zhen arrived, he was in much better spirits than when he first arrived.
“Brother!”
"sit!"
Jia Zhen was not polite to him. "I heard about the Wang family's affairs. Judging from your expression, I think you didn't get much rest last night. By the way, did you eat? I'll ask someone to make you a bowl of noodles."
"……good!"
Jia Zhu's voice was a little dry. "Brother, I'm afraid my second uncle is in trouble. It has been confirmed that someone led my second uncle and my eldest uncle to meet. I came here this time..."
"Wait?" Jia Zhen looked surprised. "You mean it's not an accident?"
"no!"
Jia Zhu hurriedly shook his head and told Jia Zhen everything he had found out, "…The Beijing camp is related to the two governments. My uncle is injured and can't go back for the time being. Big brother, do you think you can help me a little more?"
“…”
Jia Zhen frowned, "I didn't expect that the Wang family is also a sieve!"
After suppressing the Lai family, he realized that his own family was a sieve.
He also wanted to use some people from the Wang family to take revenge on Wang Ziteng.
It is obvious that if this family is not taken care of, one day they might lose their lives without knowing it.
"I'm afraid that the disaster that Lord Wang is facing this time is related to the Beijing Camp."
Jia Zhen looked at his cousin whose eyes were bloodshot from all the hard work and said, "I will ask the people over there to keep an eye on it. If they can help, they will help."
If he is unable to help, then you can't blame him.
"Thank you, brother!"
Jia Zhu didn't hear his unfinished words. Although his uncle had the intention to take action against the East Palace, he hadn't started yet.
After this incident, I'm afraid my uncle will change his mind.
After all, no one is stupid.
If something really happens to my eldest cousin, the remaining benefits that my great-grandfather left for the Jia family in the Beijing camp will certainly be discounted again.
Even if my mother can't think of it, my uncle is a smart man and will know what to choose.
Jia Zhu bowed and said, "My uncle said that when he gets better, he will come to thank you in person."
"That's fine, we're all family!"
Jia Zhen sighed, "Uncle She wanted to go to the Wang family yesterday, but he sprained his waist. It looks serious, so even the imperial physician was called in. Now that you are back, go and see him after you have your noodles. And the old lady must be worried about the news of the Wang family."
"…You sprained your back?"
The corner of Jia Zhu's mouth twitched. He knew that his uncle loved to pretend to be sick.
Whenever he couldn't handle something or didn't want to do something, he liked to pretend to be sick and delay it.
Only his grandmother can handle him at home.
Thinking of this, Jia Zhu could no longer stay, "Brother, I won't eat noodles here anymore. There are old people and injured people at home. My second brother Lian is not at home, so I have to take care of him more."
They are all away, my uncle is pretending to be sick, and my grandmother has no one to rely on. I don’t know how anxious she is at this moment.
Jia Zhu stood up and said, "Please apologize to my aunt for me. I will come to pay my respects to her after I finish this."
"Don't worry, mother won't mind, go now!"
His mother is in heavy condition, and it would be terrible if she got hit.
The Wang family is an unlucky place, and my cousin must have been unlucky since he came from there.
Jia Zhen was still not happy about him going to see his mother.
"Goodbye!"
Jia Zhu bowed and strode away.
Next door, in Rongguo Mansion, Grandmother Jia was very happy to hear that he had returned, "Zhu'er, you... have suffered."
But in just one day and one night, she, who originally looked like Mr. Ruyu's eldest grandson, had grown a lot of stubble and looked ten years older.
"My grandson is not suffering. Isn't he back?"
Jia Zhu supported his grandmother who was worried about him and said, "Grandma, I'm hungry."
"Quick!" Grandmother Jia hurriedly said to the maid, "Hurry up and serve the food."
"Brother Zhen from the East Palace said that my great uncle had a sprained waist," Jia Zhu ignored the maid who hurried to serve the meal, still looking filial and worried, "Grandma, I will go see my great uncle first, and then come back to get the meal."
My grandmother has always known what kind of person my great uncle is, and she may have had a quarrel with him during this day and night.
But this time, it is absolutely not okay to just give a few insults without any consequences.
His second uncle is dying.
His uncle's leg was broken and he needed to rest for at least three months.
The Jia family has worked hard to help my uncle get to where he is today, so nothing can go wrong.
In Jia Zhu's mind, his uncle's loss at this moment is the Jia family's loss.
He is suffering so much, but his uncle is still at home living a life of debauchery with his concubine. It is too much.
Jia Zhu hopes that his grandmother can teach his uncle a real lesson.
Otherwise, if you fail every time, it will not only delay things but also make you a laughing stock to some people with ulterior motives.
Jia Zhu pretended to leave, but his grandmother did not stop him.
"Your uncle's back injury is quite serious this time. You should go see him."
It just so happens that anything you do in the kitchen takes time.
Grandmother Jia didn't know how much her grandson was thinking at this moment, and she kept saying, "There's no need to delay too long. Just greet him and come back. The meal here is almost done."
