There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

A Miss of the Liu family is just a small incident, Mrs. Zheng knows that her son has not been deceived, and has not gone to great lengths to ruin the reputation of Miss Liu's family. Since ancient times, it is the worst thing to say about the private affairs of the children. I only told the doormen that in the future, the Liu family's posts are not allowed. Answer, Mrs. Liu will never come again.

When Shi Xiangyun heard the news, he wept silently in the room. He finally had an aunt who cared about him, but his second aunt stopped him. His life in the Shi family became more and more difficult.At this moment, Shi Xiangyun couldn't help thinking about Jia's mother, thinking that Baoyu would remember to take her to Jia's house to play more, and it would be good to escape for a while.

Shi Zhongzhu won the Juren at the tender age of 12, and he is still the first in this dynasty. Even if the ranking is not obvious, it will not hinder his reputation.When the sage received the flowers he routinely sent, he asked Eunuch Gao, "Is it from the historian?"

"A sage has a good memory, isn't it?" Eunuch Gao answered with a bow.

"It's a good one. It's rare for Xungui's family to have an official who passed the imperial examination. I'll see you tomorrow." The saint came on a whim.

"Yes."

Shi Zhongzhu persisted in sending flowers for two years, and once again received a non-formal special interview.

This time Shi Zhongzhu wore a blue suit for raising people, and he grew a lot taller, looking like a student.

Entering the door to salute, the sage also gave preferential treatment to the first 12-year-old juren in this dynasty, happily letting him stand up and giving him a seat.

"Look," the sage pointed to the peonies placed on the dragon table in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, "I've been rewarding the peonies you respected for the past few years, so I'm interested."

"The sage is praised. To put it more politely, the students respect and love the sage as an elder." Shi Zhongzhu was modest.The sage knew he wasn't lying. In the past two years, the number of flowers at the sage's place was only equal to that at Shi Ding's. Even his third uncle Shi Nai didn't often see these beautiful flowers.The son of a minister respects himself as an elder and does what he says, and the saint can't help being close to him in his heart.

"Good boy, I am the first 12-year-old juren, which shows that you study hard on weekdays." Shi Zhongzhu's grades are also the face of a saint, "Tell me, what kind of official do you plan to be in the future, and I will give it to you."

Seeing the sage acting as if we have a secret and we are easy to talk about, Shi Zhongzhu turned his head and looked up, his eyes rounded in surprise, his mouth was slightly opened, and the two big characters "Oh my God!" were written on his face undisguised. She is beautiful, and showing such a stupid expression is also stupid and cute.

The saint made him laugh at this look, "Why, you are so happy and silly."

"Saint~" Shi Zhongzhu dragged his tune for a long time, with a small expression on his face that you are disrespectful, "Officials have their own staff, even if I am admitted to the Jinshi, I will start as a seventh-rank official, how dare I bother the saint .” The self-proclaimed change from “student” to “me” made the relationship even closer.

"Besides, I plan to skip the Jinshi exam and go out to study!"

"Study tour? Didn't you hear Shi Aiqing say that?" The sage asked casually. Shi Ding was fine and asked his immediate boss what his son was doing?

"Of course Daddy doesn't know, I was the first to tell the sage." Shi Zhongzhu said with a friendly tone between us, "My knowledge is just like that, this time I won the exam, and my ranking is not high, I want to improve it. What's more, it's not that I'm arrogant, if I become a Jinshi, I'm only 13 years old, how can I be an official! The sons of my colleagues are all older than me!"

The saint is old, but he loves the vigor and drive of young people more. "Even if you pass the exam three years later, you are only 15, and the sons of your colleagues are also older than you."

"Saint, this is not a problem for me. I have been engaged for a long time, and when the time comes, I will be an adult." Shi Zhongzhu exposed his identity as a quasi-married person.

"Oh, the little lady of which family has caught our little man's eyes." The saint joked.

"It fell into my mother's eyes." Shi Zhongzhu explained, "My uncle's eldest daughter."

"Your uncle, he must be Shi Weiyan, the right governor of the Procuratorate." The top officials in the country are all in the saint's mind.

"Yes, saint, just look at my uncle, my aunt was also a beauty when she was young, and my daughter-in-law will not be bad."

"Well, Wei Yan really lives up to his name, with a stone temper. Why, you haven't met the little lady of the Wei family yet?"

"Saint, up to now, I don't even know her name, and I still say meet!" Shi Zhongzhu also felt a little resentful about this, it would be good if you let me take a peek behind the screen.

"What's so difficult about this, I let the noble concubine Xuanwei's young lady into the palace, you just take a sneak peek." The saints, young and old, liked to be a matchmaker.

"Saint, no need, no need." Shi Zhongzhu hurriedly stopped, not to mention how unreliable this matter is, Shi Zhongzhu did not dare to have anything to do with Zhen Guifei. Now that the saint queen is alive, such a private matter has nothing to do with Zhen Guifei. Related, historians really can't clear up even if they jumped into the Yellow River.

I only heard that the saint had no intention of mentioning that Xuanchen's daughter entered the palace, it was Zhen Guifei, not the current Empress Liu, which shows that Zhen Guifei is very favored.

"Still ashamed!" The sage didn't bother about this much, and said, "Shi Aiqing also wants to be appointed as the governor of Fujian. If you want to travel and study, the whole family will go on the road together."

"Dutong? Didn't you hear what dad said?" Shi Zhongzhu was also surprised. Shi Ding was already a Marquis, and he was a high-ranking official from the first rank, and he even played it outside.

"Your father doesn't know yet, and I'm the first to tell you!" The sage returned the "first time" to Shi Zhongzhu. Shi Zhongzhu didn't believe that government affairs were so casual. He put on a half-belief expression, aggrieved to convince himself to believe.

The sage is not blind. Seeing him like this, he said, "Why don't you believe it? I haven't announced the decree yet! Eunuch Gao, draw up the decree!"

In this way, Shi Ding went to the capital of Fujian smoothly.

"It's a good day at home, but it's hard to go out for a day. If you want to travel and study, I will give you a light car captain, so as not to be bullied outside." The saint was happy, and with a wave of his hand, he gave a third-rank title. Shi Zhongzhu was happy .

Shi Zhongzhu smiled happily, and the saint said with a straight face on purpose, "Just laugh when you are given the title, and you are greedy for this at a young age."

"Saint, when I go out, if I meet someone who doesn't have long eyes and shout [I am the beloved son of Baoling], I feel ashamed and panicked on my face. ], the face is full of light!" Shi Zhongzhu joked, the title is good, and it can be passed on to future generations, if the saint gives a scattered official position, the same purpose, the title is much better than the scattered rank.

"You!" The saint laughed when he thought of that scene.

Shi Zhongzhu met with him in the morning, and after noon, the sage gave him lunch before leaving the palace, carrying a decree from his third-rank title and his father.

People watching outside the palace are very interested in this young man, he can not only study, but also be an official!What is being an official?A good official is one who can be valued by a saint. How many people have never been able to see the golden face of a saint in their lifetime. The Shijia boy has even eaten the imperial meal twice at such a young age. His own dandy came here to teach him a lesson, saying over and over again, "Look at Shi Zhongzhu!" Well, Shi Zhongzhu has become "other people's child".

The father-in-law who passed the decree back home with Shi Zhongzhu read out Shi Dingwai's decree. After Shi Ding invited the father-in-law to drink tea, he sent the angel away.

Shi Ding led Shi Bosong and Shi Zhongzhu to the study room, and asked Shi Zhongzhu to tell the appropriate size of today's noodles.

After Shi Zhongzhu finished speaking, Shi Ding arrived, "I have already heard about my release, and the saint probably followed the trend. It's just that I have been released for at least 5 years. What will you two do?"

Shi Bosong is already married, and he has made up a sixth-rank leader of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which can be regarded as an official, so it is impossible for him to work as a foreigner with this father. "Father, I'll just stay in Beijing and be an honest official." Shi Bosong was honest and honest.

Shi Zhongzhu shrunk his neck, remembering that he hadn't told Shi Ding about the study tour, and he didn't tell Shi Ding the details just now.

Seeing his appearance as a chicken thief, Shi Ding didn't understand, "What did you do again!"

"Father, what can I do, it's just... I just accidentally told the saint that I'm going to study abroad." Shi Zhongzhu said with a guilty conscience.

"Why didn't I know!" Shi Ding was furious.

"Father, father, don't be angry. The saints are afraid that I will be bullied when I go out, so they bestowed the title. You see, I earned a title for nothing. I didn't lose money, so don't be angry!"

"I'm not angry, you deserve it when you're bullied!" Shi Ding complained, he was already speechless to this incomprehensible son, and asked again, "Then will you go on the road with us, or go by yourself?"

"Father, I don't care, it's just that mother is with you."

"Nonsense, your mother, your younger brother and sister are all going together. If your mother is not here, what will happen to the relatives?"

"Then what about sister Xiangyun?" Shi Zhongzhu asked, ever since he found out that he didn't care about the plot, he has been paying attention to this aspect all the time.

"Her..." Shi Ding thought for a while and said, "Ask your aunt first. Xiangyun and Mrs. Jia's wife and your aunt are attracted to each other, and they often take them over for a short stay. I should ask Xiangyun if she is willing to stay. In the capital, Bo Song will ask your wife to take care of you more."

"Our family doesn't seem to have much contact with my aunt's family." An honest person like Shi Bosong also found that he and Jia's family are not close. Would it be wrong to let the female relatives often stay there?

"Young daughter's family, it's okay." Shi Ding had a very bad image of the Jia family, "Jia family, hmph, the eldest son is incompetent, the second son is hypocritical, and the men in the family are all soft bones. They are all supported by the women, so don't worry about it."

Shi Xiangyun is also the daughter of the Shi family, if she gets too close to the Jia family, will it affect the marriage of her own sister Shi Jilan?

"Since Jia's family is so miserable, it's better for the eldest sister not to go there." Shi Zhongzhu suggested.

"Xiangyun's marriage is also a problem. It is said that she is a noble daughter of the Marquis, but her parents are both dead. I am willing to support her, and people will think her fate is too hard. It just so happens that your aunt likes her, married into a relative's house, and no one bullied her. Life is also comfortable." Shi Ding explained.

"But father, I heard that the Jia family chose at least three wives for Baoyu, the only daughter of Gusu Lord Lin Ruhai, the daughter of the imperial merchant Xue's family, and the eldest sister. Maybe the Jia family's aunt did not make up her mind. What!" Shi Zhongzhu shared the gossip he found.

"Really, if this is the case, just find another good family for Xiangyun. Forget it, what do you know? I will discuss it with your mother." Shi Xiangyun's marriage is not important in Shi Ding's heart. .

Shi Ding is about to leave for a long time, and his control over the capital will be weakened. Yin Yin told Shi Bosong to discuss with Shi Nai if there is anything wrong. Shi Nai is now in charge of the Imperial Army, well informed and has legitimate authority.He also told Shi Zhongzhu that he was not in the capital, so he should keep his own place and not cause trouble for his family.

Shi Zhongzhu rolled his eyes, is he a troublemaker?

In the end, the three fathers and sons of the Shi family made an agreement. Shi Ding took his wife, youngest son and daughter to Fujian to take office, the eldest son stayed at the Bowling Hou Mansion in the capital, and Shi Zhongzhu went out to study by himself.
