The Traitor Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Chapter 18 Jia Lian Refuses a Marriage

Inside Rongxi Hall

Jia's mother, who was dressed up in class, couldn't help looking at the door again, wishing to break the legs of Dafang and his son, and go out to make friends with some poor scholars, so that Jia's family would lose face.You must know that the person who came to proclaim the will is the inner minister Hua Gonggong, the current confidant.

"Grandpa Hua, you have a lot of work, or Zhu'er has received the imperial edict..." Jia Mu said as she handed over a beautiful purse, showing shame on her face: "Although the boss has the name of the head of the family, he has never It’s the most important thing, now he’s stupid and foolish, good times and bad times! No, I don’t know where he has gone to play until now. In order not to delay the transmission of the holy will.”

"Mrs. Jia." Eunuch Hua took the purse, met everyone's expectant eyes, and smiled: "Our family hasn't congratulated yet, your family now has three talents in one school, and they can almost catch up with the scholarly Hanlin family! So ah , our family thought to ourselves, you don’t know, old lady, but Zhu Xiucai must know what is right and proper! Right, Zhu Xiucai?”

Jia Zhu's handsome face suddenly turned into a liver color, and his lowered hands were tightly clenched into fists.

Looking at Jia Zhu's livid face, Eunuch Hua smiled so that the corners of his mouth deepened. He weighed his purse and said meaningfully: "Our family didn't accept the gift for nothing, so you don't have to turn around and scold me. Old lady, Have you ever heard that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black? Although Master Xi of your mansion is stupid, how long does his memory stay? During this period of time, he can admire the imperial education in the study room. Royal education, even if it is a fool Or, this person is still an uneducated person, and he can overcome thousands of troops, cross the single-plank bridge, and be named on the gold list! He is a living gold-lettered signboard, do you know how to cut it?"

Unexpectedly, Jia Amnesty took part in the imperial examination, passed the three county and prefectural examinations, and became a scholar. No matter how good the provincial examination is, the emperor will always give him the opportunity to go to the palace examination.What's more, there is also a matter of presenting the imperial seal to Prince Heng of the former dynasty in this branch.

Regardless of myths or folk evidence, it can prove that the emperor is what everyone expects.

What's more, Jia Amnesty has other uses.

Eunuch Hua's eyes glanced at the bright yellow imperial decree, and from the corner of his eye, he looked at everyone in the Jia family with pity.If it weren't for the usefulness of keeping this old godly woman, why would he waste his lips and tongue giving advice?

"I understand. Thank you, Mrs. Hua Nei, for your reminder." Jia's mother was silent for a moment, hurriedly took off a jade pendant from her body, and handed it over, but even Jia Daishan was resentful in her heart: Why did you send the boss to the study at the beginning? Send Zheng'er?

The dropouts in the study room...

Just as Jia's mother was thinking about it, she saw some women and servants coming to report: "Old lady, the master and the second master Lian are back!"

After finishing speaking, Mother Jia saw the dropouts in the study riding all the way to Rongxi Hall on a little black donkey with red flowers, and immediately became furious: "Boss, what about your etiquette?"

"My feet hurt. You guys told me to come back. It's fine if I don't deserve a carriage, but let me walk fast. Of course my feet are sore." Jia She groaned and dismounted, with an unhappy expression on his face: "My mutton has just been put into the pot!" After finishing speaking, when Jia Lian came to help him, he smiled triumphantly!

He is very good at playing the willful, arrogant and domineering urchin!It must be worth five plates... No, it’s not good to eat too much sweet-scented osmanthus cake, so one plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and three strings of candied haws must be done without an algorithm!

"Father, be good!" Jia Lian patted Jia She on the back.Because of the inexplicable sudden imperial decree, and Xing'er happened to meet "Doctor Wen" by chance, they had a quick discussion and decided to make a move first.

"No, you promised to pay me roast suckling pig! I even..." Jia Amnesty waved his hand: "It's been a long time since I've eaten meat! It's been a long time since I got out of the filial piety, and I just took a bite of meat." Serve it up!"

"Mr. Jia Xiucai, show me your test-taking skills. That father-in-law is here to praise you. If he sees you like this, he might stop praising you." Jia Lian finished speaking with a straight face, and glanced quietly Eunuch Hua, who was welcomed to the seat by Mother Jia, only felt... only felt that this eunuch would not succeed.

Like them, when they competed for the place of supervisor of ceremonies, not only were they all literate and capable, but they were also handsome and tall, with outstanding faces.

It's not like the one in front of you, who is as fat as Maitreya Buddha.Even if he is a good player who hides his sword in a smile, but following the master like this will affect the master's aesthetics.

"I still hope that Hua Gonggong Haihan." Jia Lian clasped his fists and bowed to him in salute.

Although he secretly slandered Hua Gonggong's appearance, he was also born as an eunuch, and Nine Thousand Years didn't look down on his birth. Besides, Jia's family is going downhill now, and Hua Gonggong is the emperor's confidant, so he naturally wants to give him enough gifts.Besides, this person's appearance is mediocre, so he is naturally outstanding in other aspects.This kind of concealment is even more worth guarding against.

"I still look forward to Mr. Hua Haihan." Jia She heard the words "Scholar" and then followed Jia Lian's eyes to look at Mr. Hua. His expression was not only respectful, but also fearful. of."

"How could this old slave be so respectful to two people?" The moment he saw the father and son bending over, Eunuch Hua got up and hurriedly avoided Jia She's salute. He glanced at Jia Lian.

He could clearly see that Jia Lian was the leader of their father and son.

As for Jia Lian's previous bending down, he did not have the aloofness of the children of aristocratic families, nor the arrogance of a scholar. It was just an ordinary son apologizing for his father's rude behavior, and regarded him as a visiting guest, or just an ordinary man. people.

Ordinary people are not slaves, but the most humble eunuch among slaves.

Mr. Hua only felt a slight softness in his heart, but when he saw the bright yellow imperial decree in the blink of an eye, he quickly calmed down and bowed to Jia Amnesty with a smile: "Scholar, don't panic, this old slave is just here to replace you." The emperor issued an imperial decree, and those who praise you will reward you."

"Really?" Jia Amnesty said in surprise, "Didn't you scold me? Many people said I was stupid and couldn't take the number one exam!"

"Boss, don't speak wild words, you're making me laugh!" She knew in advance that Jia's amnesty would be on the list, but Jia's mother looked at Jia Zhu who was standing next to her with an embarrassed and lonely face, and her heart was burning with anger. Seeing Dafang and his son's flattering appearance, they felt extremely dazzling, and couldn't help but yelled.

Jia She turned his face in an instant, and was about to cry, lying and rolling on the ground: "Take the exam for the champion, live in the champion's house!" He can remember very clearly that every time Lian'er went to the bookstore to play, he would always stare deeply at the champion's small house, as if It's like a daughter-in-law living in it, very affectionate.

Jia Lian hurriedly supported Jia She with one hand, and gently scratched the itchy flesh on his waist, fearing that people would act too much on the spur of the moment, so he nodded again and smiled at Hua Gonggong, saying: "Hua Gonggong, you are laughing, you are laughing." .”

"No problem, no problem, every scholar will always have the dream of being the number one scholar." Eunuch Hua smiled, really afraid that people would continue to roll, he hurriedly took the imperial decree from his subordinates, and before reading it, he bent down to look at Jia She, Question: "Master Xiucai, do you know the ceremony of receiving the decree?"

"Yeah." Jia She looked straight at the imperial decree, and nodded heavily: "I seem to have received a lot, and even painted it! But I was beaten."

While talking, Jia Amnesty waved his hand and greeted: "Lian'er, kneel down, old lady, kneel down, hey, nephew, why are you here?"

Jia Amnesty stretched out his hands and counted: "I am an elder brother, one year, you are a son, three years. Don't you have to stay for three years, and during the filial piety, you have to stay behind closed doors?"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zhu became angry instantly: "This Rongguo Mansion is my home!" He didn't leave the Rongguo Mansion, so what if he received the imperial edict?

"I..." Jia Amnesty cried, and the tears came as soon as I said it: "I just asked casually. If you finish watching too, then we can eat meat as a family, and the kitchen will have no excuse not to make me baked milk The pig ate it.” It’s really smart Amnesty, there is meat in the kitchen, so he doesn’t have to memorize and do homework every day, and he can go out to eat if he works hard and performs well!

Awesome and smart, must be 11 today!

I'll find Brother Chen for a diagnosis later, maybe I'll pay it back!

"Father, the king of heaven and earth, relative and teacher, since the emperor's decree came to proclaim, it is more important than a relative..."

Seeing that Jia Lian seemed to be frowning and trying to explain why, Grandpa Hua waved at the side, and immediately another person detained Jia Zhu.

Eunuch Hua glanced over the disapproving Mother of Jia and the silent Mrs. Wang, and sneered, "It's really honorable and dignified for your family to organize the funeral of a fifth-rank official named Wailang."

As soon as the words fell, Mother Jia's face turned red immediately, and she glanced fiercely at Mrs. Wang and Jia Zhu, signaling them not to speak again, as it would cause trouble.

Mrs. Wang was choked with anger, she didn't say a word from the beginning, her son and the old godmother were afraid that she would act out of her will, but what happened?

snort!

I still have to find her elder brother to go out!

Not to mention Mrs. Wang's thoughts, how many incidents have been involved since then, after a lot of turmoil here, Eunuch Hua slowly unfolded the imperial decree, and his sharp and long voice instantly floated in the Rongxi Hall: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, Zhao Said: "Near the two Rong Gongs who have worked hard and made great achievements, and now that Jia Amnesty has lost his way, he has turned back, reformed himself, and forged ahead bravely. In view of the previous agreement, I have granted the Marquis En! This!"

After finishing speaking, Eunuch Hua paused: "Master Hou, do you understand the imperial decree? Your Majesty, you even asked the slaves to tell the Imperial Academy specifically. How can you write it in a simple and straightforward way!"

"Does that mean I'm the Marquis of En?" Jia She raised his eyebrows full of air, and immediately knelt on the ground, raising his hands high, "The last step to receive the imperial edict, raise your hands, and shout, long live my emperor, long live, long live! !"

"Congratulations to the Marquis, congratulations to the Marquis, there is another one, double happiness!" Mrs. Hua handed over the imperial decree of the Marquis to Jia She, who was already beaming with joy, and slowly unfolded another one. Jia Lian praised the five princesses and called them a match made in heaven.

Jia Lian's eyes darkened.

"Kin this!"

After finishing speaking, Eunuch Hua handed over the imperial decree to Jia Lian. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian was taken aback, and called out in a calm manner: "Congratulations, my son-in-law."

"What is the son-in-law?" Jia Amnesty asked curiously, holding his imperial decree.

"That's right, the fifth princess is your daughter-in-law!"

"What?" Jia She was shocked immediately: "No, the princess is so fierce, she will let me wear girls' clothes, don't! And my son has a wife!"

"What?" Not only Eunuch Hua, but even Jia Lian was a little startled.He... When did he have a matchmaker's words?Don't mention the Wang family to him!

"The number one scholar!" Jia She said happily: "My son looks at the number one scholar's mansion very affectionately. As the old saying goes, there is Yan Ruyu in the book! He treats the book better than me! What is it not a daughter-in-law? Tell you, I can even read "Liao Zhai"! I love watching operas the most. Books will definitely become masters, and then books and Lian'er will have a litter of champions."

Listening to Jia She's fantasy, everyone laughed.

Eunuch Hua covered his handkerchief and smiled, "Okay, Lord Hou, the son-in-law will definitely fulfill your wish and give birth to a litter of young champions."

Jia Lian's eyes flickered, and he was weighing the pros and cons, considering the benefits of being the emperor's son-in-law, when he suddenly heard a hoarse and sharp shout: "No!"

Everyone followed the sound and looked at Jia Zhu, who had been detained, and saw that his face was red, and he spit out a mouthful of blood with a puff.

Seeing this, Jia Lian's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "I still hope that Grandpa Hua will report back. Jia Lian will not be able to accept this imperial decree. I'm afraid it's not an auspicious thing for my brother to cry blood. When the time comes, the royal family will be in trouble, and the students will die."

Although this court can't help the son-in-law to become an official, if he becomes a son-in-law now, no matter how he takes the next exam, he will inevitably have to deal with some gossip.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is no pie in the sky, and one drop is a good thing!Today's two edicts came too inexplicably.

Just in time, Jia Zhu vomited blood so timely!
