Jin Yuliangyuan of the Red Chamber

It was said that Baoyu was determined to take part in the imperial examination, and Shui Rong told him what books to read and where to work hard: "This martial arts is not only a test of force, but also a test of military strategy in addition to horseback riding and archery, so you need to find some military books. Read and read." Baoyu wrote down one by one.

As soon as we talked, the time passed quickly, and it was almost evening. Daiyu also folded many red leaves and put them in the car. She also gave a few branches of Shui Rong as a gift. Shui Rong said with a smile: "I had a great time today, I brought this red leaf to the emperor to have a look, and I am envious of him, he has no chance to come out after soaking in the palace every day!" Baoyu said: "Take this thing back for him to put in a vase to enjoy, even if he comes out with us." "It's getting late, I've been out for a day today, so I should go back. Let's go!" Shui Rong said.At present, Baoyu Shuirong and Daiyu rode horses, Tiaoyun and the others drove a car, and a group of people returned the same way.

When they were about to enter the downtown area, Baoyu and Daiyu got off their horses and took a car instead, and Shui Rong also parted with them here, and rode into the palace by himself: "If the emperor didn't see you today, I will definitely send someone to ask, why don't I go find him by myself?" .” The two of Bao and Dai went back to Jia’s mansion.

In the car, Daiyu asked Baoyu with a smile: "I saw a white wolf behind the car just now, and you also shot it?" Baoyu smiled and said, "Of course, but he is a prince. I still can't show my sharpness too much. Don't look at it." Is he happy? This wolf is waiting to make you a wolf-skin mattress."

Daiyu laughed and said, "My place is full of good things. There are fox skins and wolf skins. There are still a lot of things at the bottom of the box!" I'm afraid there is no place to put it!"

The car stopped at the corner gate, and the servants brought all the animals they had brought to the small kitchen in the yard to skin them and tidy them up. Baoyu and the others brought back the red leaves and a pair of bead bottles, and sent Qingwen to Jia Mrs. Wang put in a bottle each: "Just say that I saw it outside and brought it back to honor the old lady." Qingwen agreed to go.

Then he took out one of his own golden enamel semi-tall beauty bottles, inserted a bottle and asked Mingyan to send it to Jia Lian. After thinking about it, he asked him to send it together with Mrs. Xing's.I also gave it to Sanchun.As for Aunt Xue Xue Baochai's place... It is still necessary to save face, not to mention that I have said a few words to Xue Baochai, so I should also give a bottle to wipe my face.

Due to the large discounts, there are still a lot left after giving away so much. Baoyu picked up the best-looking ones and kept two of them in the room of Daiyu and himself. The others were rewarded to Qingwen and Mingyan. .

After separating these things, it was dark, and when the two went to Jiamu's place, the big guy was there, and when they saw him, they both smiled and said: "Thank you for the red leaves, it looks so good when you put them there! Baoyu laughed and said, "It's good if you like it." Sister Feng laughed and said, "The old lady is so happy! She praises Baoyu for her filial piety!" Mrs. Wang is also happy, feeling that the child has finally grown up and knows how to be filial to herself. .

After entering the inner room, the sisters were all there, and they all smiled and thanked him.Baochai also felt that this was a good opportunity to ease the relationship, so she couldn't stop praising her, and Baoyu answered with a smile.The atmosphere of the meal was quite good.

After returning to the yard, the two fetched water to wash up. After running for a day, they were tired enough, so they took a rest early.

On the other side, Shui Rong gave Shui Hong a maple leaf after entering the palace. Shui Hong sighed with love, "Oh, I haven't had a day of leisure since I sat on this dragon chair! I think Xishan is already full of red, right?" Shui Rong He said with a smile: "You have a great responsibility on your shoulders, so naturally you have to be busy. Today I saw Baoyu, and he took his cousin Lin Daiyu out to relax."

Shui Hong wondered: "Oh? Since ancient times, women in boudoirs have never left the door. How dare he secretly take his cousin out? He is bold." Shui Rong laughed: "So what? I am the same I can't see those twitchy so-called ladylike ladies the most, it's nice to be generous. It's nice to see Lin Daiyu today."

"You two temperaments are quite compatible." Shuihong laughed, "Forget it, it's not a big deal anyway, I believe he has his own sense of proportion. Just be happy." Shui Rong said: "I asked him today if he If he intends to participate in the scientific examination, he is willing, and he also wants to try it when he hears that you are going to perform martial arts! I think it is also possible for us to have a civil and military champion."

Shuihong smiled and said: "Is that true? Then I have to wait and see. The Turks in the west have been on the move since the death of the first emperor. We urgently need capable generals. The Dongying people on the coast are also becoming more and more rampant. Thinking about it, I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles." Ah!" Shui Hong frowned worriedly.

Baoyu got up the next day and went to Jia Lian to tell Jia Lian about the conversation he had with Shui Rong yesterday, and encouraged him to take the exam together.Jia Lian hesitated and said, "I'm in my 20s, and I have two children, so I still have to take the exam?"

Baoyu hurriedly persuaded: "What's the matter? Fan Jinzhong was over 50 when he was promoted. Isn't there adult education in modern times? You are at a great time! Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't go? Are you going to be a small businessman for the rest of your life? , get by in this mansion? Men have to have their own careers. In this era, if you want to live well, you have to be a high official. Only with rights can you have security in your life. In addition, we have friendship with the King of Beijing. As long as we do Do what you should do, don't think about other things, then you will have no worries for a lifetime, and you can protect the people we want to protect, why not do it?"

Jia Lian was moved by what he said, thinking of Sister Feng and her two children, Jia She and Mrs. Xing, and her Ermutou sister Yingchun, she finally made up her mind: "You are right, I should think about the future. Way to go! Then I will prepare to study. Is it just two years enough? Everyone is in ten years!"

Baoyu smiled and said, "Master Jiang, can such a small matter be difficult for you? Don't worry, I have been studying for so many years, it is not difficult at all, as long as you memorize those things, you can play freely during the exam." Jia Lian laughed and said, "You are a top student, so it's not difficult for you."

"Ann, it's really easy. That's all right, you can come to my room from now on, the two of us will read together, and we can discuss with each other if there is anything we don't understand." Baoyu made a final decision, "Let's start from the day after tomorrow." , you talk to Sister Feng, before you get ready, it’s not too late, we have to hurry up."

The two discussed it, and Jia Lian told Sister Feng when she turned around.Sister Feng herself can't read big characters, and she also thinks it's weird for someone who becomes a father to go to school again, but it's a good thing, and she naturally agrees, and said: "Just concentrate on studying, the children are grown up, and Ping'er will take care of them." Come on, I'll take care of the shop for you, so you don't have to worry about it." Jia Lian felt relieved.

After Baoyu went back, he also told Daiyu.Daiyu was puzzled and said, "Why so suddenly? I haven't seen you talk about it for so many years." Baoyu smiled and said, "I'm old too. I have to find a way out for myself. I can move out of here earlier. The day after tomorrow I will I'm going to study in the room with Lian's second brother, and I can't talk with you, if you feel bored, go to Sister Feng and play with the children, or go to the second sister and the others."

Daiyu was a little disgruntled, but she couldn't help letting others move forward. For a moment, she thought that if he said to move out from here earlier, would it be just the two of them living together?Thinking of this, I became happy again, looking forward to Baoyu's early high school.The little girl's mind is the most volatile.

Seeing that she was thinking about it, Baoyu was relieved, so he called Mingyan and told him: "From now on, you will guard the door carefully during the day. If anyone comes to play with me, you won't be able to, just say that I am studying. People from Baihualou and Tianxiang Pavilion Didn't the account book report once a month before, but it will be changed to once a month in the future, and if I don't have time, I will send it to Miss Lin."

After Mingyan went down, Daiyu hurriedly said: "You let me check the accounts? I don't know how to do it. What if I make a mistake again?" Baoyu said with a smile: "It's okay, I will teach you. You are so smart and you can learn it soon. A little It's not difficult. Besides, it's not difficult for anyone to be familiar with it once, and I didn't know anything at first. It's clear at a glance." After speaking, he joked: "In the future, these shops and everything will depend on you to take care of them, and I will just focus on official affairs, one of us will be in charge of the outside and the other will be in charge of the inside, so we won't be tired from working!" Daiyu Blushing: "Stop talking nonsense!" Finally, he acquiesced to his arrangement.

Two days later, Jia Lian and Baoyu began to study hard. Jia Zheng was very happy when he heard about it, but Jia She was taken aback by his son's move. After explaining it, I thought it was a good thing, so I didn't say anything.But Jia's mother was afraid that the two of them would be too tired from studying and let them relax, so Jia Zheng persuaded them to let them go.Tanchun Baochai didn't want to bother her when she found out, and Daiyu also lived a few days of cleanliness.

The time soon came to the eighth day of October, and the atmosphere in the capital was very solemn. The people said that the new emperor was filial, and the enthronement ceremony was not held until the first anniversary of the first emperor's death.Jia Zheng, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen and other officials who had official positions all put on court clothes early in the morning and went to the palace.Mrs. Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing Wang, and Mrs. You also entered the palace to accompany them with heavy make-up.

The Ministry of Rituals has already prepared the matter. Early in the morning, the emperor will inform the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country. Five worships and three kowtows are performed before a few feasts.After that, the bell and drum sounded.Civil and military officials each wear court uniforms, and enter Danchi to salute.The emperor came out from the middle gate and ascended to the throne.Jin Yiwei blew his whip, and all civil and military officials expressed their congratulations.

After a series of complicated ceremonies, an official from Honglu Temple came out of the Meridian Gate to issue an edict, announcing to the world that the new emperor, Shuihong, was officially the emperor.Then came the enfeoffment of the empress and empress dowager.

Shuihong lost his mother when he was young. His mother was the first emperor and empress Yuan. He was given the posthumous titles of Empress Xiaocigong and Empress Shengcheng, and the insignia of Empress Dowager Yi'an.The original concubine, Du's family, is Wen Chunxiangong, who is said to be the mother's choice, who should inherit the ancestral temple of heaven and earth together, and is hereby registered as the empress.In addition, the first emperor passed away for more than a year, and I am very sad, and hereby decree that within three years there will be no drafts or concubines.

Turning over the years is the first year of Chongyuan.
