The Promotion of Yuanchun in the Red Chamber

But those are all things to say later, after Jia Zhu listened to the girl's report, she called the person from the palace who came to deliver the message to him—it turned out to be an acquaintance, and the person who came was the son of his sister's companion Li Da.

There are two husbands and wives in the Li family. The man is now in charge of the two shops in Yuanchun, and the woman is in charge of the palace.From the original Zhuangtou, he became the shopkeeper of two large shops, and the woman also gained a firm seat in the palace. The couple knew how to be grateful, so they were very loyal to Yuanchun.

The couple have two sons and one daughter. The eldest son studies, the second son follows his father, and the daughter works as a second-class maid in the Yuanchun courtyard.

This time it was the second son who came back to deliver the message, a young man who was capable and shrewd.

Jia Zhu admired her younger sister's gaze in her heart, and heard him repeat again: "My lord invites Uncle Zhu, Second Master Lian, and Brother Rong from Ningfu to sit in the palace."

Jia Zhu nodded, asked about the young man's family situation, and gave him enough money before letting him return to his life.

As for the job of spreading the word, Jia Zhu planned to do it herself.

When Jia Lian was supposed to hug his wife, Jia Lian welcomed his cousin Jia Zhu in the inner study.But after listening to the news brought to him by his cousin, he felt that it was worth it to delay the "*time"!

Which one should I choose between the donated Sanguan and Shique?Knowing that if he is favored by the prince, he will only serve in the north, but the war in the north has not stopped for several years. He can not only accumulate meritorious service, but also earn money, right?

This account, Jia Lian calculated very clearly, but he also asked a few questions about his cousin's plan, "When the ice melts, you have to go back to Jinling for the exam?"

Jia Zhu replied, "Naturally."

Jia Lian also reminded: "King Zhongshun has a bad tone." Because of this, the second uncle had a headache and couldn't sleep well. He wanted to ask his daughter to help him vent his anger, but he couldn't save face. However, my aunt is going to visit her sister today, and it must be a success. Formed.

Jia Zhu smiled, "Then why don't you really take the exam?"

Being frightened by a powerful man—— King Zhongshun is not considered the first-class dignified family in Beijing now, he was frightened by a single sentence, so he decided not to take the imperial examination to become an official, but to hide at home and not go out.

Seeing his cousin's knowing look, Jia Lian didn't say any more, but asked Brother Rong from the Ning Mansion, "Why does my sister think of him?"

It's no secret that Jia Zhen wants to help her younger sister.It's ashamed to say that Ning's mansion took the lead in rectifying the body, but even if Jia Lian had ideas, he admitted that he was really powerless.

Jia Zhu could still guess the younger sister's idea to a certain extent, so it was inconvenient to say more at the moment, so she just said, "If you don't support us, who can you support?"

When Jia Lian thought about it, he smiled wryly: the old ones and the young ones in the two mansions really need only a handful of palms.

As for Jia Zhen hearing that the Seventh Prince wanted to see his son Jia Rong, she was naturally very proud in secret: he relied on the Prince, and his son took the path of the Seventh Prince... No one would think too many connections!

In his eyes, the achievements of being an official are secondary, and the most important thing is connections.Lao Tzu follows Wen and his son follows Wu. If Ning Mansion can achieve success and repeat its glory, it seems that it is just around the corner!

After Jia Zhen laughed three times in the study, she called her son and sternly told him not to talk nonsense when he arrived at the palace, and the prince would obey the order first.If the official position is too small, go back to the government to discuss it, and don't show dissatisfaction on the spot.

Jia Rong bowed her head to lead the training, but her heart was full of enthusiasm: without his father's suppression, he would accept even if he suffered a little outside, let alone relying on a prince with real power.In the future, if he makes great achievements and gets promoted to a higher position, there will be a day when the whole Ning family will look up to him!

It's just that his willingness to leave home can only be buried in his heart for the time being, but his walking steps are still a bit lighter.Back in the back house, Qin Keqing, the newlywed wife, greeted Jia Rong, looked at Jia Rong, and laughed before saying anything.

The little wife was pleasing to the eye, and Jia Rong couldn't help laughing, "You look happier than me."

Qin Keqing said with a smile: "Seeing the uncle so happy, I think it's a great thing."

Of course it's a great thing.The young couple went back to the room... To be exact, they went back to the ~bed~ to have some love~en~ After love, they chatted for a long time, and fell asleep peacefully in the longing for the future.

A few days later, before Jia Zhu and the others arrived at the Seventh Prince's residence, they welcomed Aunt Jia Min first.

Jia Min took a pair of children and ran to Rongxi Hall, stayed with his mother for a while, and then called Jia Zhu to talk to her.

Originally, Lin Hai should have said these words to Jia Zhu himself.It's a pity that Lin Hai has been in Beijing for more than a year. Since he was hired as the servant of the household department, he hasn't had a few days of leisure. No, he was appointed by the emperor again, and he hasn't seen anyone for two days.

So I had to let Jia Min, my aunt, do it for me.Although Jia Min has a bad temper with Mrs. Wang, she is very partial to Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun, who were born by Mrs. Wang, but she can't look down on Baoyu...

So Jia Min frowned slightly when she heard her daughter Daiyu playing with a group of cousins, but Baoyu came over again.

Seeing this, Jia Zhu had no choice but to smile wryly: my younger brother Baoyu is gifted and intelligent, and he prefers to get into the makeup pile. He has taught him a few times, but his grandmother and mother protect his younger brother like an eyeball.

However, Jia Min obviously didn't want to be fussy at this moment, so she turned her head and began talking to her nephew, "It's too much of a bully!" After a pause, he added, "Your uncle told me that in the study."

Not to mention that the Rong Mansion was not on good terms with King Zhongshun, Lin Hai also had a bad relationship with this prince.

In fact, I only look at King Zhongshun's behavior: just because of personal grievances, he speaks in public, trying to ruin the confidence and future of a scholar, how can Lin Hai respect him?

Jia Min said again at this time: "You just take the exam, the current Jiangsu Xuezheng is the same year as your uncle."

To put it bluntly, King Zhongshun guessed Jia Zhu's temper based on Jia Zheng's character. If he really wanted to bribe the examiners, and even affect the results of the competition, he was not capable of it...it was not worth it.

Lin Hai greeted Tongnian, not to take special care of Jia Zhu, but just in case: a scholar suddenly lost his mind, and plotted against Jia Zhu in order to please King Zhongshun and get another promotion.

There are many twists and turns here, Jia Zhu thought clearly for a moment, then got up and bowed to the end, "Thank you, uncle and aunt, for helping me."

After receiving his gift, Jia Min also said: "You and Yuan Chun are both good." After a pause, he added, "If you can win, the sooner the better."

If you are a Jinshi, even if you are a top three, if you are over forty, if you don't have great luck, you may not have time to climb to the third rank when you become an official.Those who can be promoted every three to five years will almost be able to join the cabinet in the end, but how many scholars are there in the world, how many Jinshi are there every three years, and how many cabinet elders are there?

Jia Zhu also didn't know whether this point came from his uncle or his aunt... In all fairness, my aunt's vision is not as good as that of my uncle and father.

The longer I spend with my aunt, the clearer this feeling becomes.

In addition, uncle Lin Hai is only in his prime this year, and he has already achieved the second rank of minister. Jia Zhu feels that his uncle is likely to join the cabinet, so after returning to Beijing, his uncle and Rongfu will not communicate as frequently as when he was in Yangzhou-this is probably the beginning avoid suspicion.

It's a pity that my father complained a few words secretly because of this...

After all, they are relatives-in-law, so how can they be indifferent when seeing the Rong family suffer a great loss?Jia Zhu could quite understand the intentions of his uncle and aunt: as the saying goes, make a fortune in silence, if you take advantage of it, you should know it yourself, and you don't have to make a fuss for everyone to know.

After taking the reassurance, Jia Zhu became more calm, but Jia Lian was very curious - Jia She and Jia Zheng lived their own lives, and even with Jia Lian, they didn't know much about their cousin's activities.

Now everyone was going to the palace together, Jia Lian approached and asked, "What did the prince promise?"

Jia Zhu pretended to be deep, "I'll know when I get back."

Jia Rong looked at the two cousins ​​talking and laughing in a low voice, and also rode her horse to catch up a few steps, only to hear Jia Zhu say, "The errands given by the prince should be based on loyalty."

Jia Lian nodded, "Exactly." In his opinion, as long as there are enough benefits, loyalty is not a problem.Speaking of the north, besides the Seventh Prince, he doesn't know who to be loyal to, does he?

However, Jia Rong deeply remembered this sentence in her heart.

When they arrived at the palace, Zhao Zhizhen hadn't come back—in fact, the eldest prince stopped him again.The seventh younger brother is going to lead the army northward again in the spring, if we don't want to make friends now, let alone when.

Therefore, the three of Jia Zhu and the others were first entertained by Zhao Han, and exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Zhao Zhizhen also returned home before evening.

Seeing Zhao Zhizhen's tired face, Jia Zhu and the others suddenly felt bad.

Jia Zhu knew that the Seventh Prince had always been calm and introverted, and would not easily vent his anger on others, so he was quite calm; but Jia Lian was already thinking of coming back another day, and Jia Rong took a peek at the two uncles, and pursed his lips. Not to send - of course, there is no room for him to speak.

Zhao Zhizhen was greeted by several people, pressed his temple with one hand, his voice was hoarse, but his tone was calm, "Don't be restrained, we are all relatives."

Hearing these eight words, Jia Lian and Jia Rong's spirits were shaken, but Jia Zhu was still calm, and she was very happy for the harmonious relationship between her sister and the prince.

Today, "fighting wits and courage" with his elder brother almost exhausted Zhao Zhizhen's energy, so he didn't bother to go around in circles when dealing with Jia's family, and directly ordered the servants to take two pieces of paper from the case, and handed them to Jia Lian and Jia Rong respectively, "Look Can you still agree?"

There is no room for even polite refusal!

However, Jia Lian and Jia Rong absolutely did not dare to "shame their face": Jia Lian got a secretary and joined the military, just under Wang Ziteng's rule; as for Jia Rong, he simply followed Zhao Zhizhen, starting from what he was...

You must know that Jia Yuan and Jia Yan brothers were just big soldiers when they joined the army.

Zhao Zhizhen turned to Jia Zhu, and asked softly, "I heard from Yuan Chun, you're going south to take the exam after spring begins?"

Jia Zhu replied, "Yes."

"Can you be sure?"

The prince in charge of the army really went straight...Jia Zhu could only say: "I can only do my best and obey the destiny."

Zhao Zhizhen nodded, "If you get hit, it will be of great use in the future. Don't take other people's gossip to heart."

Since his younger sister married into the palace, Jia Zhu knew that sooner or later he would be under the command of the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince had very few scholars, so it was very easy to get ahead, but when the day came when he disagreed with his father, he was surprised to find that he was not Contradictions, at best, are helpless.

It's just... Jia Zhu looked at his cousin Jia Lian: "The job of being a recorder and joining the military is really meaningful, but I don't know which side he plans to take."

The author has something to say: the first update, there will be more in the evening.
