Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

Wen Zijun was not yet old enough to worry about his children's marriage, and he had his own parents to help worry about it, so he didn't know the necessity of a long-term assessment, so he privately sent Jia She with good wishes of "passing the test once and for all".

But Jia Amnesty came prepared after all, knowing the importance of setting a long line to catch big fish, so as not to scare away the "matchmaker" by being too enthusiastic for the first time, and also afraid that he would miss the bottom line, so he followed with restraint. Uncle Wen Zijun changed the subject, talking about the gold and stone antiques he could get his hands on.

After chatting about what he was good at, he talked about the historical ancient capital in Henan, and then slowly introduced his own purpose - "If Fourth Uncle Kong is useful, my boy can accompany him."

—Let the real cultured people meet the cultured people.

Besides, the goods must be inspected first, and he still understands this truth.

After Uncle Wen Zijun answered, he came back to his senses in a daze, and realized that he had unknowingly changed from "Uncle Zijun" to "Uncle Kong Fourth".

Kong Muyi, who was called Fourth Uncle Kong, quickly glanced at Jia She, who was smiling brightly.

He thinks Jia's family is pretty good, without a mother-in-law, this father-in-law looks "stupid" but has a heart, and he also saw the disaster relief back then, so he licked his face after receiving the letter and went there Confucian government, let's find out first.

Unexpectedly, when I explored it, it even led to a "cat fate" - since ancient times, there have been heroes who saved the beauty, and now there are also scholars who save the cat, or three times.

But the problem wasn't that he married his daughter, it was useless for him to agree.

Agreeing to Jia She's suggestion, let Jia Lian accompany him on a tour, and chatted for a while, Kong Muyi got up and sent Jia She off, then looked at the clan brother who came out of the wing room slowly: "What do you think, big hall brother?"

Yan Shenggong shook his head expressionlessly.

"What about playing?"

"I said I was going to prepare for the exam, but I was half-hearted and not firm in my mind."

Kong Muyi, who thought he could be the old man under the moon again: "..." Then why do you always come here and ignore your son-in-law?

"Then..." Facing his nephew's eyes begging for help, Kong Muyi smiled and said, "Big Brother, you have to combine work and rest. It is said that Lian'er was referenced in a place where the style of writing in the south of the Yangtze River is prevalent, and her scientific examination results are also among the best."

Yan Shenggong was silent for a long while, then said, "Then you might as well point out your homework."

"Also."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Wen Zijun's heart was almost in his throat, and he was in a hurry to find an opportunity to report secretly.

Jia Amnesty shook, gripping Wen Zijun's wheelchair tightly: "It means... pointing out Lian'er's homework, no...not evaluating the parents, right?"

"Why are you being tested?"

"It's just... the so-called buying a pig to watch the pen," Jia She said: "Whoever marries a daughter and a daughter-in-law, don't they all have to look at each other and look at the family style? Compare this kind of thing, can't you take the school exam with me?"

Wen Zijun thought about the tone and demeanor of that speech, and looked at Jia She, "Maybe it's really possible, you should study hard."

"En." Jia She nodded sadly, not only studying hard, but also urging Jia's family to study hard and make progress every day.

It is rare for Jia Zhen to pick up a book, even if he reads the latest version, the words "The Analects of Confucius" are capitalized on the cover.Not only did he read it by himself, but he also stuffed a book for Jia Qiang: "During this special period, don't disassemble the clock, just pretend. Look at Lian'er, Rong'er, and you, you are also classmates, why is the progress so far behind? ? Don’t give people the impression that we treat people differently.”

Jia Qiang bowed her head and remained silent, continuing her great business of dismantling pocket watches.His own father and future mother-in-law said that he wanted a beautiful bracelet watch.Although Xiyang's pocket watch had a chain, but Xiyang had to wear a suit, which was absolutely ugly.He wants to wear a fancy dress, but it's inconvenient to take it in and out. It would be nice if it could be worn on the arm like a bracelet, and you can see it when you lift it up.

"You...Little God of Wealth, I beg you, okay? Have a sense of clan, okay?" Jia Zhen glanced around, watched the person turn around, then bent down and kissed Jia Qiang on the cheek: "Nod!"

Jia Qiang looked up at Jia Zhen and nodded.

"Here, let me show you your father's new book "The Richest Man in the Sea". Jia Zhen opened the book for someone to hold in both hands.

It was rare for Jia Qiang to speak: "Give me "Heavenly Craftsmanship"."

"No, that's heresy, it depends..." Jia Zhen looked at the stinky face, and sighed: "Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to wrap you up."

Hey, blame him for being mean back then!

Blame him for being cheap back then!

Blame him for being unscrupulous for a while!

That's it for now, let's go day by day.

"Jia Zhen!" Jia Qiang was sensitive to the melancholy, and said seriously: "I didn't ignore you, I made a bracelet watch, and I will give it to you first, just like a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants, one for each of us .”

"Your father plagiarizes your ideas casually, doesn't he?" Jia Zhen laughed when she heard the words: "I don't want such girly things." It was only his stepmother's whimsical ideas, and the ideas one by one.

"And now, remember, put on a good show, be gentle and elegant, and try to help Lian'er catch up." Jia Zhen rubbed her hands after speaking: "I'm a little excited when I think about it."

Jia Qiang: "..."

Staff Yu: "..."

Facing the Jia family's rare appearance of "study" by the two dandies, the corners of Yu's staff twitched and looked at Emperor Taixing: "You don't care?"

Emperor Taixing leisurely knocked on the melon seeds: "What do you care? Could it be possible to tell Enhou that so-and-so came for Junior Brother? Right, Junior Brother?"

Staff member Yu rubbed his head: "If you don't have the status of an emperor, you will definitely be beaten up if you walk out with such a cheap appearance." His admiration back then should be fed to the dog, to the dog.

"Yo, are you angry?" Emperor Taixing smiled: "You just think too much, and even Lian'er thinks too much. Isn't it just that old people meet each other, so what? When the Su family was imprisoned for corruption, it was rare for him. I would like to thank you for the memorial. Where can you find such a good brother?"

"Grandmother sent me to study in the Kong family, in order to make use of the Kong family." The staff member Yu's complexion changed when he heard the words, and finally sighed helplessly: "It's meaningless to say goodbye. The past has changed, and I don't want to mention it."

"Well, let's go, anyway, I don't like the daughter of the Kong family as a cheap granddaughter-in-law." Taixing Emperor said: "If the young couple quarrels in the future, Lian'er will definitely suffer. What if the Kong family's morality is kidnapped? The whole world Half of the scholars would scold Lian'er. As elders, we have to consider the worst possible outcome. So, whether this marriage can come true or not depends on the Jia family's own efforts and Yan Shenggong's inspection." He himself He didn't intend to intervene in any hands, and he silently prayed that it would be best not to succeed.

While Emperor Taixing was chatting with Yu's staff, Kong Muyi led his friend Mr. Gong into the back office, intending to give Jia Lian and Jia Rong some homework.

Jia Amnesty welcomed the man in with a smile, exchanged some pleasantries, and Yan Butou just came out in a hurry to report—the prefect of Jiaozuo asked for an interview and reported something urgent.

"I'm on official business, I hope Fourth Uncle will forgive me, and Mr. Gong will forgive me." Jia Amnesty touched the official uniform with his hand, feeling very beautiful.With the official shield in hand, the school is exempted from the exam!

Watching Jia Amnesty leave, Yan Shenggong, aliased as Mr. Gong, looked at the study room—the word “cautious in words and deeds” and was silent for a long while. After greeting with his younger siblings, he went to the scene to ask a few questions, and then said, “Listen to the virtuous. My nephew's conversation is also taught by a famous family, I don't know whose family he is from?"

"Mr. Gong, the younger generation has received one or two enlightenment teachings from his grandfather's staff under the shadow of his father and grandfather. You are a wild crane with no official position or school, but if you know Mr. Gong's praise and appreciation, you know that he can stand shoulder to shoulder with famous people. If you stand, you will be happy."

After Jia Lian finished speaking, he sighed in his heart, but he still couldn't help showing off his husband.

"Your husband can teach people like the two young masters, and he is indeed worthy of the title of celebrity. It's a pity..." Yan Shenggong sighed: "I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see you today."

After finishing speaking, he changed the topic, and Yan Shenggong looked at Jia Lian: "But since you are relying on the shadow of your father and grandfather according to what you said, have you ever thought about the future? It is said that you are the only son, so you will definitely be the one to establish a family, and you will be on the fame and fortune fair. Once you encounter the ups and downs of the officialdom, how can you stand up and die well?"

As soon as the last word came out, the atmosphere in the room froze instantly.None of the people present were stupid, so they naturally knew the voice-over, and were afraid that the Jia family would be involved in the struggle for imperial power, and then die.Jia Rong looked at Yan Shenggong, and Fourth Uncle Kong looked at Jia Lian, both of whom were extremely nervous.

Jia Lian was also nervous when she heard the words!The person in front of me is probably not surnamed Gong, after all, most people would not be so picky when they meet for the first time!Those who can speak like this can guess five or six points by thinking about it with their feet.It must be a relative or friend related to a certain family. Even if you are bold, someone can't tell for sure.

How can I answer?

It is said that his Jia family will not die because of power struggle for at least three generations, because his Jia family's seniors have broken their sleeves with the royal family?The elders also broke their sleeves?

It is definitely not possible to honestly answer the first meeting at this moment.

"The younger Mr. Lao is concerned," Jia Lian said solemnly, "I have the family's shelter, and I should bear the responsibility of inheriting the family inheritance and restoring the glory of the ancestors, but the glory of my family does not lie in the high position of the duke, but in taking responsibility. Grandpa Jia can follow Lord □□ to drive away the strong crossbows, and today we will be successful in our studies and help the world."

Yan Shenggong quietly waited for Jia Lian to finish speaking, and said concisely and to the point: "It's the same as not saying anything."

If Jia Lian was just a wealthy idler, he might have just nodded. He is capable of both literature and martial arts, good-looking, mild-tempered, decent family background, rich and noble. Although he is not a scholarly family, he is also quite talented and trained by his master.But Jia Lian still wants to mess with the officialdom, especially when the Jia family is involved in Duo and Di.

Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian, Jia's family...

It is too dangerous to marry a daughter into a family that is following the path of reform and reform in today's world.As a father, all he wants is for his daughter to be safe and sound, and live a smooth life.

But helpless...

Thinking of his daughter's words about Jia Lian's intention to propose marriage and sent him on a long journey, Yan Shenggong felt sour in his stomach.The little white face is white and white, with peach blossoms in his eyes, he can fly, jump and catch cats, how can he not get to the sky?

After these words fell, the atmosphere in the room instantly seemed to fall into an ice hole.

Jia Rong was in a hurry, this old man, why didn't he follow the usual routine, he didn't pursue the word "good death" earlier!

"My Jia family has the iron coupon of the Danshu and the imperial decree to avoid death from Taixing Emperor, double guarantee!" Jia Rong said, and proudly turned back.Anyway, it wasn't him who married his wife. If Yan Shenggong was entangled in this issue in the future, would a grandpa have the nerve to argue with him?

Yan Shenggong: "..."

"Our Jia family still has a college, is engaged in charity, and..." Jia Rong raised her head: "The patriarch is responsible for everything."

"Rong'er, I hope you will forgive me. I grew up with Rong'er and our friendship is extraordinary. He was so impatient and offended." Jia Lian nodded and apologized, and said in a deep voice, "But he did not say anything wrong. We obeyed. The times are adjusting our family planning, and we will repay the court and the society if we can. I really can't guarantee what the future will be like. I dare to say whether the Jia family's future will one day be annihilated in the long river of history, but I live in the present. Try to use your talents to contribute to the family and the country."

Yan Shenggong frowned, focusing on the key points: "Your family has double insurance?" It sounds a little safe.

Jia Lian's eyes were slightly puzzled, and he looked seriously at Mr. Gong who asked the question.

Mr. Gong's demeanor is elegant, indifferent, and has a great Confucian demeanor. It is reasonable to not ask such impolite questions as "out of bounds".

"It doesn't matter if I give you four protections." Jia Rong snorted, "Grandpa, you are not honest at all. If Lu Yin cheats, he will go to jail according to the law, and he will be punished, ten punishments!"

Jia Rong stretched out her hand and made a "ten", unexpectedly.What about cows?He, Jia Rong, became so bullish that even Emperor Taixing scolded him.

"Little Fatty, you won't be able to get a wife like this." Yan Shenggong smiled and let go: "You can't even please your father-in-law."

Hearing this, Jia Rong tilted her foot: "I, I, I... Uncle... He said..."

"You, you..." Jia Lian subconsciously supported Jia Rong, and then turned to Yan Shenggong: "My...my understanding is correct?"

Yan Shenggong nodded, and then said: "However, let's talk ugly first."

"Say it!" Not only Jia Lian, but also Jia Rong respectfully.

"What did I tell you, I should find your parents."

Jia Lian and Jia Rong: "..."

After Jia Amnesty found out, he immediately fell in love.

"Sir, save save save save save life, have you dealt with in-laws' quick-acting Dafa?"

"Uncle Emperor! What will he do if he tests me? What should we do?"

"Zhang Dataishan! Dad, Lian'er is your own daughter's own son. I'll pretend to be sick and you go entertain me, okay? Anyway, apart from getting married, I can agree to any conditions."

"Zhen'er, how well Uncle treats you, you are the patriarch of the Jia family, you accompany Uncle Zhang, oh, Grandpa Zhang is going out to entertain?"

Jia Zhen waved her hands vigorously: "It's your son who wants to marry a wife, not my son! I won't go, I haven't even read "The Analects of Confucius". Tangtang uncle, that's Yan Shenggong! In case I disagree , do you still want your daughter-in-law?"

"Just because my son got married, I didn't dare to go. I was also afraid. I was afraid of talking and thinking about the books I had memorized in those years and the palms I had beaten. I couldn't control my temper for a while, and wanted to covertly beat him in a sack. What should I do after a meal?" Jia Amnesty glanced left and right, and confided in his heart: "You don't want to be beaten, look how capable your ancestors are."

The other people present got up and walked out after hearing the words.If you listen to it any more, you'll be pissed off.The ancestors of the Jia family are still manifested, at least no matter how stupid they are, they still give people a good skin.

The next day, the corners of Yan Shenggong's mouth twitched as he looked at the big family who entertained him, especially the leader.

Jia Rong, the leader, emphasized: "I am the patriarch of the Jia family." The word "future" will not be mentioned.

"I..." Jia Lian was a little embarrassed: "My father is tired from his official duties, running around for days, and occasionally catches a cold and falls ill."

"Ahem, I am Lian'er's master," Yu Yu said in a deep voice, "As the so-called master and apprentice are like father and son, I can handle his affairs with full authority."

"Really?" Hearing this, Yan Shenggong picked up his tea and took a sip: "I don't think he can enter the officialdom until he is 30 years old, is that okay?"

"Why?" Staff Yu was dissatisfied after hearing this, "You must give us a reason."

"Is it enough to accompany my daughter?"

"Lian'er, let's go!"

Seeing that Jia Lian got up without hesitation to support Yu's staff, Yan Shenggong's face darkened, and he put down the teacup: "Jia Lian, don't you even think about it?"

"Mister treats me like a son. If you have old grievances with your husband, then I will stand up to you without hesitation." Jia Lian said in a deep voice, "If you take Ling Ai as a threat, and you are so negligent as a father, then I... naturally Nothing to say."

"Jia Lian, Jia Lian," Yan Shenggong bristled with anger, "to be honest, my ex-wife advised me that there is no mother-in-law in your family, so that there will be fewer conflicts in the future. But, to say something inappropriate, when your husband and My little daughter has a conflict, who do you help? She is married far away, alone in the capital, with no relatives..."

"My sister-in-law is not as mother-in-law as you are." Staff Yu took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "At the beginning, you said that all Confucianists are the children of your Confucian school. Where is the boss Confucius who is your younger brother?"

"I don't have time to talk to you now, Jia Lian, please explain clearly to me..." Yan Shenggong said with a blank expression, "Think carefully, call me back, who to choose!"

"Assuming that the delivery room is difficult, he wants the grandson of the Jia family, and I want my daughter's life, say it!"

"Why do I want the grandson of the Jia family?" Staff Yu choked angrily, "You're not afraid of talking..."

Staff member Yu couldn't say anything, he just covered his chest to comfort himself.

"You..." Jia Rong was furious when she heard the words: "Do you still have the patriarch in your eyes, Second Uncle, let's cut off our sleeves and not choose any of them."

Your future father-in-law is too wonderful, I can only help you here, second uncle!
