Regarding the matter between the Zhang family and the He family,
Jia Jing naturally went to inform Jia Daishan first. To be honest,
The two families had long been involved.
There was no turning back,
The daughter of the He family had given birth to the Crown Prince's daughter. As long as the Crown Prince could ascend the throne, the daughter of the He family would at least be a concubine. Moreover, she was not old and could continue to give birth. As long as she was lucky,
She would give birth to a son. Especially when the Crown Princess had not given birth to a son yet,
It was also very likely that she would inherit the position of the Crown Prince,
Such a great temptation,
It was impossible for the He family not to be tempted.
As for the Zhang family, the old master of the Zhang family was the Crown Prince's tutor,
He was a natural member of the Crown Prince's party. As the saying goes,
Master, Master,
He was a teacher and a father, even if he was the Crown Prince,
With this relationship,
How could he bear to give it up.
"The Zhang family, on my side,
The He family, on your side,
Let's see how deeply these two families are involved. "Jia Daishan frowned. He really felt that it was tricky at this time.
"Yes," Jia Jing sighed. He reckoned that the He family was not very optimistic. After all, they had a daughter who was the Crown Prince's concubine. If they rebelled at this time, they would definitely have to abandon this daughter. However, if they fought with the Crown Prince, the He family might really turn around. However, if they failed, the price they would have to pay was obvious.
Jia Jing did not dare to tell Jia He about this kind of thing. Jia He was already more than six months pregnant, and her belly was big. In addition, she was old. Even if the child in her belly was well-behaved, it was very tiring to carry a child. If he told her about these things, she would not worry. As a woman, other than worrying, she could not do anything to help. Therefore, it was best not to tell her.
After the two of them planned, Jia Daishan took advantage of the court to find the old master of the Zhang family to drink tea in the teahouse. Jia Daishan and Lord Zhang were a military official and a civil official. If it were other civil and military officials walking together, it would be very strange. In the court, civil and military officials had always been at odds. However, it was very natural for the two of them. After all, the two of them were in-laws, and their children were united by marriage.
"What can I do for you?" Lord Zhang knew that the reason why Jia Daishan wanted to have tea with him this time was definitely not just because Jia Daishan had named his grandson. Previously, when Hu 'er was still alive, she named him Jia Hu. If his daughter gave birth to a boy this time, he would definitely be named Jia Lian, after the meaning of the reed. Speaking of which, his daughter had not given birth to a child yet. What kind of name was that? Therefore, this time he must have other matters to discuss with him. However, it was inconvenient to say it in front of outsiders.
"I just wanted to talk about the Crown Prince." Jia Daishan went straight to the point.
"What happened to the Crown Prince?" Lord Zhang asked with a frown.
"Don't be so nervous. I just feel that the Crown Prince has grown up a lot this time. For a moment, I feel a little emotional," Jia Daishan said.
"The Crown Prince has always been very outstanding since he was a child. Unfortunately, his temperament is unstable and he is a little impatient. This time, the Crown Prince has indeed grown up very quickly. He can tolerate it now. This is a good sign. What's wrong, Lord Jia? Do you also think highly of the Crown Prince?" Lord Zhang smiled. He was very satisfied with the student he taught personally.
In the past, the Crown Prince's temperament was unstable and he could not take setbacks. He was very dissatisfied with the Emperor's favor of the other princes. Because of this, he often lost his temper with the Emperor. Lord Zhang also felt a little embarrassed about this. Fortunately, the Crown Prince thought it through this time. Even if these princes were favored by the Emperor now, what could they do? He was the legitimate Crown Prince and the one who would inherit the throne in the future.
"The Crown Prince has grown so fast this time. Did Lord Zhang give him some advice?" Jia Daishan asked inconspicuously.
"The Crown Prince is a smart person. He doesn't need my advice," Lord Zhang said proudly. The Crown Prince had begun to have a quality that an Emperor needed to have, which was patience. Even the Emperor, the ruler of the world, sometimes could not do whatever he wanted. The Crown Prince had gone too smoothly before, which led to his lack of patience. This time, the Crown Prince had finally grown up. The effect of this was obvious. The Emperor planned to compensate the Crown Prince during the New Year.
Hearing Lord Zhang's praise for the Crown Prince, Jia Daishan's heart trembled. He did not know whether Lord Zhang knew about the Crown Prince's attack during the spring hunt, but he knew that Lord Zhang would never believe that the Crown Prince would attack the Emperor.
"You really don't support the Crown Prince this time?" Lord Zhang still did not give up and tried to persuade the Jia Daishan for the Crown Prince. Lord Zhang was very clear about the power of the Jia family. If the Crown Prince had the support of the Jia family, his path would definitely be smoother. Unfortunately, both the Jia family and the Jia family were staunchly loyal to the Emperor. They had always been neutral and had no intention of joining in. However, perhaps this was the only way that the Emperor would trust them.
"I still support the Emperor," Jia Daishan refused with a smile.
"Okay," Lord Zhang did not insist on this.
Jia Daishan was quite surprised that Lord Zhang did not insist on this matter. It seemed that Lord Zhang really did not know about the Crown Prince's plan. The Crown Prince trusted Lord Zhang very much, but this time, he did not seem to tell Lord Zhang. He did not know why. However, looking at Lord Zhang's expression, which was full of trust, the Jia Daishan swallowed his words. He still had the Jia family, so he could not take the risk.
When they went back, Jia Daishan saw Jia Jing's disappointed face and understood.
"I'm afraid that the He family is really involved," Jia Jing thought of his father-in-law's evasive gaze today and said.
"Yes, I know. The Zhang family may not know, but Lord Zhang trusts the Crown Prince very much. Now, we can only rely on ourselves. During this period, be careful," Jia Daishan said.
"Don't worry," Jia Jing said.
Compared to the busy Jia Daishan and Jia Jing, Xia Lu and Jia Zhen seemed to be very relaxed. After all, it was the end of the year, so they were naturally very busy. However, Xia Lu was still very capable. After she sorted out her thoughts, her ability as a modern business executive was revealed. Sometimes, when she was free, she could even play a few rounds of chess with Jia Zhen. Compared to the busy Jia Daishan and Jia Jing, Xia Lu and Jia Zhen seemed to be very relaxed.
"Didn't you say that you will go to Jinling to take the exam next year? Bring me along then, "Xia Lu said as she moved a chess piece.
"I said that I will go to take the exam, not to go sightseeing. Why do you want to go with me?" Jia Zhen thought carefully in his mind. In fact, it was not impossible to bring the violent woman along. By then, Madam would have already given birth to the child, and Madam could take over the housekeeping. To be honest, he was a little worried about the three vixens in the house. He was a little scared. What if he suddenly came back from Jinling and was cuckolded? How miserable would that be?
"If I go with you to take the exam, I can take care of you then. I can help you grind the ink, massage your shoulders, and warm your bed. Look at how considerate I am." Xia Lu raised her eyebrows and said.
"Haha, you're such an unreserved woman. When I take the imperial examinations, it will be in August, and I'll be in the south. It's during the hot summer, and you still want to warm my bed." Jia Zhen rolled her eyes and moved a piece on the chessboard. She felt that this idea was quite good.
"My dearest Husband is the best. You will take me there, right?" Xia Lu blinked and said.
"Don't look at me like that. You are making me nervous. I will take you there." Jia Zhen was proud. He was the only one who indulged his wife like this. He was really a good man.
"Thank you, dearest Husband, checkmate." Xia Lu moved her chess piece and directly checkmated Jia Zhen.
Jia Zhen looked at the chessboard carefully. He could not believe that he had lost again.
Xiao Fei came in with tea. She could not help but smile when she saw Jia Zhen and Xia Lu's happy and harmonious appearance.
