Chapter 36 Idle trifles, beginning and end,
The next morning, Jia Jing packed up early in the morning and ordered Lai Fu to lead the horse, then turned over and headed straight for Yu Hengsi, the Ministry of Works.
In the Yu Heng Department, Fang Xiaojin, who had returned from the Minister of Works, looked at Jia Jing, who was sitting in the office room with a confused look and was carefully reading the recent account books, and fell into a daze.
"The Xiaguan has met the Marquis Zhaowu, but I wonder what kind of nobles the Marquis is here when he comes to the Houguan?" Fang Xiaojin asked carefully.
Jia Jing looked up, looked at Fang Xiaojin standing at the door, and smiled and said, "Mr. Fang, it's chilly outside, stand at the door and do something, hurry up and sit."
"I was ordered to quell the rebellion a few days ago, but I was too anxious to leave, but I failed to hand over the right handover with Lord Fang. This time, I came here to take stock of the treasury of Yuheng and then sign it. After all, it was also in Yuheng and served as an official. We must always have a beginning and an end to do things!"
After hearing this, Fang Xiaojin sat in the room slowly. Then he saw Jia Jing continue to flip the account book, writing and drawing on it.
Pointing to the books that have been flipped next to him, Jia Jing said, "Mr. Fang, these books have been checked by this marquis. There is a clear difference between the amount of materials stored in the marquis in the custodian and the books on the account. Now they have been enclosed. Does Lord Fang have anything to say to this marquis?"
"The account is not consistent? This is impossible!" Fang Xiaojin stood up and took the basic account book on the table. He quickly turned to a place with red circles, looked at it one by one, and then took people to the treasury to carefully count it.
After carefully asking his confidants, he confirmed that except for Jia Jing who entered and exited the treasury in the morning to check the materials, no one else had entered the treasury. Fang Xiaojin only felt that his eyes were getting dark.
"Last time, I just lacked some iron ingots, but it was a good idea to remedy it. Why are even those precious things missing this time?"
He called on several subordinates to come over. After asking carefully, Fang Xiaojin completely gave up thinking.
"I have asked everyone to take a look at the claws and tails below. They are like the wind in my ears, and they are too digging!" Fang Xiaojin looked angry, "Dig a little today and a little tomorrow. I'm here to talk about my master's diligence and work harder?! I have warned you to be careful and be careful. It's okay in the past, but now I've been caught by that master again. You all tell me, what should I do?"
"this……"
The four officials were a little unaware of their ability to start for a while. What else can they do in this situation? You can only pay for it as much as last time!
But it would be fine if there were iron ingots before, but the price was not too high. This time, there were many valuable things. I really paid for it to cushion myself. The four of them were a little reluctant. The so-called "Such money is hard to give up, that's how it is!
Seeing that the four subordinates all looked embarrassed, Fang Xiaojin became more angry, "Don't you say it? Well, I'll tell you for you! It's better to let that master make a big deal, so that he can save trouble every day!"
"Sir, it's not, it's not, it's not!" Seeing that Fang Xiaojin was indeed not like a joke, Qiao Weiming, the head of the Si-chi-chi who was in charge of receiving and receiving various official objects in Yu Heng, hurried forward and grabbed Fang Xiaojin, while his eyes kept signaling to the other three heads.
"Yes, sir, I'm just thinking about how to deal with this matter and planning how to change it later..."
"The current strategy is to make up for the things first. We will get together, and we should be very different!"
The three of them hurriedly said.
Hearing this, Fang Xiaojin's face looked better. He thought for a while and added, "Then let's get all of them before noon. The difference is not much, and I will fill it up! The matter must be settled today and the master will sign and leave today!!"
...
It was not until the sun sets west and Jia Jing, who had a lot of harvest, came out of the Ministry of Works. Looking at the storage space that was filled again, Jia Jing's face had a little more smile.
After leaving the door, Lai Fu was already waiting with his horse. When the two of them rode their horses back to Rongguo Mansion, it was already dusk.
As soon as he returned to the house, he changed his official uniform and came to ask for instructions. He said that the banquet had been set up, and the relatives of various families, colleagues and neighbors were coming one after another. The protagonist Jia Jing was indispensable.
While following Lai Da to the door, Jia Jing asked, "How did the mansion arrange this banquet?"
"It's all based on your request from Master San, Mr. Zhen, staring at me!" Lai Da replied.
The fact that Jia Jing was named a marquis has basically spread in the circle of officials in Shenjing since noon yesterday and shortly after the morning court ended. In the afternoon, shortly after Jia Jing returned to Rong Mansion, Qiu Shi'an went to read it with the imperial edict. Such a series of actions have made the Jia family a popular topic of conversation in Shenjing after dinner these days.
Last night, after the Jia family sent the banquet posts to the various families, many noble families with good friends and relatives in Beijing, as well as colleagues and neighbors who were familiar with each other agreed to attend today's banquet.
It is precisely because of this that Ningrong Street, which has been quiet for a long time, has become lively again.
The officials, sedan chairs, horses, servants and servants of each family are all in constant contact.

Hall of Care for Heart.
Emperor Hongde continued his memorial approval work day after day. Seeing that the sun in the west was about to go down the mountain, he finally put down the red pen on his hand and rubbed his temples to relieve many emotions in his heart.
"Qu Shi'an, what did Zhaowuhou do today?"
Qiu Shi'an, who was on the side, hurried forward and replied: "Your Majesty, Zhaowu Hou went to the Ministry of Works early this morning. He said that although he had served in the Ministry of Works for a short time, he had to go to the Ministry of Works to sign the handover matters."
"Didn't go to the Ministry of War and Gyeonggi camp?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Mr. Zhaowu will be in the Ministry of Works this day. By the way, Mr. Zhaowu has a booklet submitted."
As he said that, Qiu Shi'an took out an account book from his sleeve and presented it to Emperor Hongde's imperial case. "This was submitted by Zhaowu Hou himself when he came out of the Ministry of Works. He did not leave the cabinet. He asked the minister to hand it over to His Majesty directly!"
After looking through the account books presented by Jia Jing, Emperor Hongde was not angry at the vermilion circles on it, "Jia Jing should have submitted this book to the Supreme Emperor, right?"
"When Zhaowu Hou presented the book, he was summoned to the Dragon Shou Palace by the Supreme Emperor. I think there is one in the Supreme Emperor." Qiu Shi'an replied.
"This Jia Jing is so talented that he really doesn't look like a young man who is not as good as a young man!" Emperor Hongde praised, full of praise for Jia Jing. "This is the real nobleman. Being impartial and perfect in the Emperor, it can be considered a balance. It's not simple!"
After a while, Emperor Hongde picked up the memorial and looked at it again. Just as he was watching, he suddenly remembered something and looked up and asked, "Today, the Jia family is holding a marquis banquet, right?"
Qiu Shi'an bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, yes, except for the old relatives of the Jia family, the four nobles and eight nobles and the founding nobles, all the remaining families have gone."
Emperor Hongde pondered for a moment and said to Qiu Shi'an: "You will go to Curry later, pick up two purple gold crowns, several jade belts, and other miscellaneous items such as palace brocade satin, bead strings, etc., and you will pick some of them to send them to me, and you will say that they were rewarded by the Supreme Emperor and I!"
"I obey the order!"
After a long time, a voice sounded faintly in the Hall of Yangxin, "The lean camels are bigger than horses, and these founding nobles..."
