What made Jia Zheng despair the most was that Jia Baoyu, this unfilial son, had actually provoked the Nian residence, an opponent that Jia Zheng could not afford to offend. Now that Nian Bin had come knocking on his door, he actually had a reason.
Even a man couldn't stand the fact that someone wanted to treat him as a catamite. Even if Nian Bin chopped Jia Baoyu up and made a fuss about it to Little Xuanzi, there was no way he could reason with him.
The Jia Family had an Imperial Consort, but the Nian Family also had an Imperial Consort. Compared to Jia Yuanchun, who had suddenly been promoted from a noble to an Imperial Consort, Imperial Consort Nian had much more capital.
In the inner palace, Concubine Nian was ranked before Jia Yuanchun. The power behind the Nian Family was not something the Jia Family could compare to.
Compared to the hard work of the Jia family, which relied on clingy people and the decline of all the men in the family, the Nian family had truly paved a path for Little Xuan to rise to the top.
Even Little Xuanzi had to show some respect to Nian Gengyao, who was leading the army to guard Shanhaiguan.
If they really forced Nian Gengyao to rebel, the Ming Empire's cavalry would directly charge in. Hou Jin could no longer withstand this.
Now that the 500,000 strong army of the Ming Dynasty was suppressing Shanhaiguan Pass, Houjin Zhiyu could still maintain his calm on the surface. It was all because of the six kings of the Ming Dynasty who were dragging each other down. In addition, Nian Gengyao was indeed good at fighting. He took advantage of the other party's carelessness and took the initiative to attack and win two small victories. Only then did he stabilize the situation.
At this time, if the Jia family and the Nian family could only choose one, the Jia family would definitely be sacrificed.
Ever since Nian Gengyao's consecutive victories, the Ming Empire's diplomatic corps, which had been moving quickly, had been crawling slowly every day. They knew that losing face on the battlefield was not the best time to negotiate, so they were waiting for the right time.
Da Ming wasn't in a hurry, and Da Yuan wasn't in a hurry either. Because Hou Jin wasn't in a weak position, they definitely wouldn't be able to get the greatest benefits.
In negotiations between countries, benefits were the most important.
Back then, Dajin and Dayuan were still empires. In the end, when they fell, the one who took the biggest cake was their ally, Dayuan.
Now that Dayuan needed Houjin, it was also to tie down Da Ming's energy and make Da Ming unable to care about Dayuan so that he could focus on dealing with the matter of conquering Great Song.
As long as the Ming Empire obtained a certain advantage, the two diplomatic groups would turn into vampires and directly bite the sick tiger, Hou Jin.
Therefore, Jia Zheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, had always been in a state of trepidation. In addition, since he no longer had the ability to be a man, the more he went home to see his wife, the more annoyed he became. He might as well eat and live in the Ministry of Rites. He could also gain a good reputation for Yuan Chun, who was about to visit his relatives.
He was already filled with anger after being called back from the Ministry of Rites by the maid, but the moment he entered the door, he was greeted by such explosive news.
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Jia Zheng's mouth. His eyes went black, and his legs went weak as he fell to the ground.
Even though the servant girls quickly helped Jia Zheng up and consumed precious medicinal pills to save him, Jia Zheng's face was completely dejected, and his eyes were filled with despair.
This was also due to Grandmother Jia's advanced age. She woke up late and no one dared to disturb her, so she was not present. Otherwise, who knew what would happen?
The atmosphere was a little strange.
After a long while, Jia Zheng came back to his senses and said in a hoarse voice,""Young Master Nian, are you serious?”
"Why would I lie to you?" Nian Bin stood up with a look of disdain and said,"If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself. If it wasn't for Teacher Ye Qiu, I would have chopped it up and fed it to the dogs.”
In terms of family background, Nian Bin was not afraid of the Jia family at all. He himself was a first-class guard and had the qualifications to meet Little Xuan. At most, he could make a fuss about it with Little Xuan and completely ruin the Jia family's reputation.
As for whether Jia Baoyu really had ill intentions towards Young Master Nian, Qin Zhong was his witness. In addition, it was not difficult to find out if Jia Baoyu was a good man. Even if Nian Bin exaggerated a little, who would offend the Nian Family for the sake of the Jia Family that was almost extinct?
This was also because the crowd did not know that Jia Zheng was also a eunuch in reality. Otherwise, most of them would probably kick him when he was down. The rest were just onlookers.
Other than the Wang Clan, which was also one of the four great clans, there was a slight possibility that they would make a move. The others were definitely not reliable.
Therefore, it was the Jia family who didn't dare to make a big fuss. If this got out, Yuan Chun wouldn't be far from the Cold Palace.
Jia Zheng looked at Ye Qiu, who was being treated respectfully by Nian Bin, with a complicated expression. There was an inexplicable expression in his eyes as he sighed deeply.
In terms of age, Ye Qiu was only a few years older than Jia Zheng, but the gap between these two people was really too big.
Jia Zheng recalled the reason why he hired Ye Qiu back then. He remembered that it seemed to be a deal with a hidden sect, related to the secret treasure under the Jia residence. Jia Zheng could not remember the details.
Thus, Jia Zheng didn't dare to ask much about Ye Qiu, but he didn't expect the other party to be so outstanding.
Not only was he talented, but he also had an extraordinary temperament. It was said that his strength had reached the Xiantian level. Nian Bin, a silkpants young master, was even convinced that he wanted to be his disciple after his woman was stolen by him. If his son had half of his, the Jia family could take off.
That prodigal son of his. Unfortunately, he only had one son and the rest were daughters. However, when he thought of this, Jia Zheng suddenly had an idea.
Anyway, his son was definitely crippled. If his son-in-law was strong, he could still do it.
She just didn't know that Ye Qiu was more interested in her daughter. If it really didn't work, she could marry him together. At most, she would just lose some face.
In any case, Jia Zheng had already decided to start hugging Ye Qiu's thigh from now on.
" Young Master Nian, I'm already aware of this matter and will give you a satisfactory answer. My son and the others are already like this. Why don't you return to the residence to rest first? If this continues, it won't look good for everyone.”
Jia Zheng was, after all, an official, so he quickly used polite words to deal with them and sent Nian Bin and the others out politely.
As for Ye Qiu, after a long exchange of words with Jia Zheng, he returned to the small courtyard opposite the Jia residence with a satisfactory answer.
The pitiful Jia Baoyu was once again beaten up by Jia Zheng. This time, the furious Jia Zheng gave a death order that Jia Baoyu was not allowed to take a single step out of his own Happy Red Courtyard. If the maids dared to indulge him, they would be punished together.
Baoyu was already completely crippled.
In the future, Ye Qiu would have the final say in the Jia family.
