Such days lasted for about six or seven months.
It was already February when Jia Fou came back, and now it was June and July. The Mid-Autumn Festival had already passed.
In a few months, it would be another year.
Jia Cui's daily routine was to discuss geography with You shi and Qin Keqing.
It was so uncomfortable to joke with his sisters.
Although Grandmother Jia didn't like him, she wouldn't stop Daiyu and the others from interacting with him.
As for Jia Baoyu, he was in trouble.
He would attend classes in the day, do his homework when he came back, and do his homework during the holidays.
Now, there was no need for supervision.
That was because the school was really beating people up.
It was useless no matter who went.
This made Grandmother Jia and Madam Wang's hearts ache.
But Jia Zheng, ever since Jia Baoyu went to school.
She was in a good mood every day.
He never heard of this evil creature's bad things again.
He didn't have time to go out and play now, so he had less time to cause trouble.
This should have happened long ago.
He asked around and found out which family's children didn't go to school when they were ten years old.
Was this reasonable?
Now, his mother and Madam couldn't stop him.
That was because the person in the East Mansion did not give anyone face.
If you're anxious, I'll even slap your mouth.
However, it's fine as long as you don't provoke him.
Jia Fu also received a new decree from Emperor Yongxi.
He was appointed to the post of governor of the capital.
Jia Fu was not curious. Ever since the founding of the Great Zhou, the Jingying Regional Commanders had always been from the Ningguo Manor.
Now that the Emperor was going to deal with them, it was normal to send Wang Ziteng away and let him go.
Although the capital camp wasn't very useful, it still had real power.
A third-grade official was much better than a second-grade official without any real power.
Although Wang Ziteng had been promoted to Secondary Rank-2, he was now in control of the nine provinces.
However, he had no real power.
From the looks of it, it was about time for the Xue family to enter the capital.
This Xue clan ancestor was originally a merchant who provided money to the Jia clan ancestor.
Later, he was given the official position of Ziwei Scheeren and the position of Imperial Merchant.
Although they did not have an official position, the wealth accumulated over the generations was not inferior to ordinary aristocratic families.
Even the Rong Mansion might not have as much silver as the Xue Family.
An ordinary Duke's family would probably not be able to take out a few hundred thousand taels of silver in a short period of time.
However, it was not difficult for the Xue family.
Master Xue passed away due to illness, leaving Madam Xue with a pair of children. Her son was called Xue Pan, and her daughter was called Xue Baochai. Due to the difficulties of the Xue family, Xue Pan was spoiled since childhood and developed a domineering personality. Every day, he led a few servants to carry a cage and walk the dog. He caused trouble everywhere and became the tyrant of Jinling. People gave him the nickname "Dumb Tyrant".
The older he was, the more sensible he should have been, but in recent years, he had become more and more disrespectful of the law. First, because his uncle was the military governor of the capital camp, and second, because of the power of his old relative in the capital, the Jia family, no one dared to provoke him.
Now, more than a month had passed.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Madam Xue received a letter from her elder sister, Madam Wang. In the letter, she was asked to go to the capital. It just so happened that her daughter was going to the capital to be selected.
He had planned to go after the New Year, but who would have thought that his son would actually beat someone to death and get involved in a lawsuit? The person who died was a destitute country squire, and there was no one left in the family. However, the old servant of the Feng family did not let it go and sued the Xue family to the government office. After discussing with several old housekeepers in the family, they decided to sell the shop in Jinling and go to the capital to seek refuge with their brother and sister.
Who was this Jinling Yingtian Prefecture Magistrate? He was Lin Daiyu's teacher, and Jia Yucun, who was later recommended by Jia Zheng to fill the vacancy. He learned from an old friend that the Xue family was backed by the Jia and Wang families in the capital. There was also news from the capital that Wang Ziteng had been promoted to control the nine provinces and was ordered to go out to the capital to investigate the border. The Jia family also had a powerful uncle. No matter what his intentions were, these two families were not people he could offend.
Without waiting for the Xue family to settle the matter, the next day when he went to the yamen, he randomly judged the gourd case and wrote two letters to Jia Zheng and Wang Ziteng, saying,"Your nephew's matter is over, there's no need to worry too much."
Jia Yucun was alone, and the Xue family had a family.
When Jia Yucun arrived at Jinling, they had already set off.
After he was done with Xue Pan's matter, he sent a letter to the Divine Capital.
After a few days, the Xue family finally arrived at the Divine Capital.
The mother and son of the Xue family had originally wanted to stay in Wang Ziteng's residence after entering the capital. Who would have thought that they would receive news halfway that Wang Ziteng had been promoted to control the nine provinces and had been ordered to leave the capital to investigate the border.
Aunt Xue thought about it. Since her brother Wang Ziteng was not in the capital, then if she went to seek refuge, she was afraid that her sister-in-law would not be happy. Since ancient times, there had been many conflicts between sisters-in-law.
His twin sister was now the wife of the Rong Mansion, so it was not inappropriate for him to go and seek shelter.
Therefore, he decided to go to Rong Mansion to seek refuge with Lady Wang, thinking that there were Jia Zheng and other elders in Rong Mansion, so they could control Xue Pan.
Secondly, the capital was filled with dignitaries.
Families like them, although rich, were not expensive. They usually had nothing to do, but if they were targeted by someone with ill intentions, they would definitely be eaten alive.
Therefore, they could not live in the capital without the support of the rich and powerful. They would have to stay in Rong Mansion for a while.
Of course, these were the concerns of Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai.
Xue Pan's father died when he was young. Aunt Xue pitied him for being a loner and spoiled him. As a result, Xue Pan's eldest son was unsuccessful. At the age of five, he was extravagant and arrogant. He also went to school, but he only knew a few words. All he did was fight cocks and ride horses all day long. Although he was an imperial merchant and his family was rich, he knew nothing about the economic world.
Xue Pan had entered the capital to see the prosperity of the Divine Capital. He was worried that he would have a mother and uncle in charge of the capital, so he could not squander as he wished. Now that he had been promoted, he knew that heaven had granted his wish and was happy.
However, his mother was going to stay at some uncle's house again. It was really hard on him.
Although Xue Pan did not do much outside, he was still filial to his mother and doted on his younger sister. Naturally, he would not leave his mother and sister to live elsewhere.
