Ring Lord of the Red Chamber

"Old lady, happy event, great happy event..." Jia Zheng didn't even have time for the little maid at the door to answer inside, and she arrived before anyone could hear, showing Wang Xifeng's demeanor once again.

Following his sound, all the people in the upper room looked towards the door, all of them were very surprised.The second master of their Rongguo Mansion has always been a dignified and upright gentleman, and his etiquette and rules have always been good.What is the happy event today that made him so happy to the point of losing his composure? !

Jia's mother was also very surprised. After everyone in the room greeted Jia Zheng, she asked curiously with a smile on her face: "Zheng'er, what is the happy event? Come and tell us, so that we can be happy for you too." I'm happy." Could it be... that he's finally going to be promoted?

"Hehe..." Jia Zheng also realized his gaffe at this time, he quickly stroked his beard and beard, straightened his expression, and said, "Old lady, it's Baoyu."

The second master Zheng looked at his son kindly and gratifiedly, his face was full of old feelings of great comfort, and he said happily: "Today I am serving as a council member in the yamen, and someone in the palace passed on the Holy Majesty's oral order. Old lady, our family Baoyu Let the current sage choose and order him to study in the study in a few days, to accompany the princes."

"Oh!" Mother Jia exclaimed when she heard the words, and immediately slapped her hands with joy and smiled.She wanted to hug her precious grandson, but found that the grandson who was nestled beside her had already retreated to the side because of the arrival of her son, so she hurriedly called out: "Baoyu, come quickly, come to grandma's side quickly. I My Baoyu, what a treasure!"

As soon as Jia Zheng announced the good news, Jia Baoyu immediately became the focus of the room.

Mrs. Wang's hand that turned the Buddhist beads lightly froze, she looked at her son with eyes burning with surprise, her lips twitched involuntarily.She has always known that her Baoyu is a child with unparalleled intelligence, and there is no one in the world who can match him.After growing up, he must be a promising person, and he will surely be able to rise to the top and become an excellent minister.But she never thought of...

Her precious jade is now only the age of the general, and it has caught the eyes of today's sages.The Holy Majesty has just been enthroned, and he actually appointed her Baoyu to study in the palace. What does this mean?

It shows that the name of Baoyu's intelligence has already spread to the ears of the Holy One; it shows that the Holy One values ​​Baoyu and intends to cultivate it in him;

That is to say... as long as she sees which prince the Holy Admiral Baoyu sends to accompany the reading, she can almost determine which prince the current Holy Admiral is in.

It has to be said that Mrs. Wang's thinking is still very open, and her brain is also very big.It was just an errand to accompany her, and she had already thought about the choice of the emperor who had just ascended the throne about the succession of the throne.

Hearing the news, Li Wan panicked and looked at Jia Baoyu with sadness and resentment.They are also the sons of the Rongguo Mansion. Her husband is also young and intelligent. He entered school at the age of 14. It's a pity...she has a hard life, and she has such a short-lived master.If not, wouldn't it be her husband's turn to be a companion today?

Or, her Lan'er is also immature, and she is also smart and studious, why can't she also give Lan'er a chance to accompany her?Thinking that her Lan'er is only five years old now, but she has already entered the family school, started to study, and never misses class every day. Wouldn't it be better than this... this Jia Baoyu who spends all day in the house.

These are all Lan'er's elders, great-grandmother, grandfather, grandmother... No one thinks of their great-grandson and grandson, this is really... Really detestable!

Because of the presence of the Second Master Zheng, Wang Xifeng didn't dare to laugh as usual, but just stared at Jia Baoyu with a smile.She was also feeling emotional in her heart, I really don't know who owns this Rongguo Mansion, why did all the good things fall on Erfang's head?

She married Lian Er in the first place, mostly because the Eldest Master inherited the title of this mansion, so she can have a decent imperial status in the future.But in the two years since she was married, she has also noticed that apart from a title, the big house doesn't occupy the slightest bit of light in the house.

For example, this time, most of the people in the capital knew that there was a Second Master Bao who was born in Rongguo Mansion, and that the current emperor could name him as a reading companion for his son, probably because of this.I just don't know, if this "birth with jade" happened in Dafang, would the one who was born survive.

Glancing at her aunt from the corner of her eye, Wang Xifeng quickly dispelled the turbulent thoughts in her heart.She is also a daughter of the Wang family, but she is by no means inferior to her aunt's means, let alone her status in the Wang family.

She dare not learn from her aunt.

Lin Daiyu and the four little girls Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun still don't quite understand the specific meaning of the prince's accompanying reading.But they can know that this is a great thing for Jia Baoyu, otherwise the old lady, master, and wife couldn't be happy like this.So several people smiled and winked at Second Master Bao to show their congratulations.

Jia Baoyu was shocked, and walked up to Jia's mother, a little dumbfounded, and let her hug him and rub him.

Jia Baoyu had always been afraid of his father, Jia Zheng.Just now, as soon as he saw Jia Zheng coming in, he hurriedly took advantage of the opportunity of greeting and squeezed into a corner with his sisters, not daring to shake in front of his father, for fear of being caught by the old man and taught him something wrong.

It's just that Jia Zheng came here for Jia Baoyu today, so there was no reason why he couldn't avoid it, as soon as he entered the door, Jia Zheng caught him in his eyes.Fortunately, this time it was a happy event. No matter how the Second Master Zheng looked at his son at the moment, he felt that everything was pleasing to the eye, and there was no other baby that made him more pleasing.

Jia Baoyu was a little shocked and not used to this kind of treatment before.But it feels good, at least he doesn't have to worry about being scolded and punished.This also made him less repulsive about going to read with the prince.

Even though he was still young, Jia Baoyu didn't want to get involved in such things.Since I opened it and learned to read, I started fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, and I didn't regard reading as an important thing.Anyway, he is smart, and he can always fool his father every time he asks a question, that's enough.

He doesn't even want to go to school to study at home, let alone study in the study.In that kind of place, there is no freedom at all when you enter it. You must be full of books and articles all day long, and you can worry about yourself to death.In addition, if he meets a prince with a bad temper again, he will be bullied to death.

Others may be overjoyed when they get this job, but he, Jia Baoyu, doesn't want to take advantage of that glory.

But... Jia Baoyu glanced at Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and the others, and shook his head secretly in his heart.Forget it, it was rare to make the old man so happy, even the father lost his composure, so he agreed.

"The father-in-law who passed the word of mouth said that the father-in-law will be sent to the palace tomorrow to teach and teach the etiquette in Baoyu Palace. In addition, after Baoyu enters the palace, he will live with the princes, and he can only leave the palace for two days in January. " Jia Zheng was twitching his beard, and at this moment he was able to control his mood, and said to Jia's mother calmly, "Old lady, in my opinion, we need to make some preparations for Baoyu in advance."

When Jia Mu heard this, she nodded and said to Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, "Yes, what Zheng Er said is very true. You must pay attention to this matter. The palace is no other place, and everything must be prepared. That's right. Alas, Baoyu is still so young, if the Holy Majesty hadn't appointed his name and valued my Baoyu so much, I wouldn't feel at ease letting him enter the palace."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng both nodded quickly to accept the order, Mother Jia seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly told Jia Zheng: "Also, the Holy Majesty's oral order said which prince Baoyu was reading with? Or I have to find a way to find out. Find out what kind of temperament and hobbies those princes have. If Baoyu wants to get along with them in the future, he must let Baoyu know a thing or two about the princes."

"This...specifically which prince is to be read with, the verbal edict does not specify. However, please don't worry, old lady, I will ask Lian'er to go out and inquire. I will also invite some relatives and friends tomorrow, and I will inquire carefully. " Jia Zheng felt deeply that what Jia's mother said was very true, and he happily accepted the order.

The Rongguo Mansion was overjoyed, but within a short meal, the news that Second Master Bao was chosen by the current Holy Majesty to accompany the prince had already spread throughout the whole mansion, and now it is spreading to the Ningguo Mansion and the Jia family members.Even the Wang and Shi families who were halfway across the city, Jiamu and Mrs. Wang also sent people to spread the word, and inquire about the temperament of the princes by the way.

Master She is a bit like Wang Xifeng. When he heard that Jia Baoyu was selected as the prince's companion, he couldn't help frowning, thinking of the incident of "being born with jade".

What is the situation in their Rongguo Mansion now?How could a mere son of a fifth-rank official in the second house be able to enter the Lombok of today's holy majesty?You know, that guy just took his brother's life and took his father's place.Even if he wanted to appease the nobles in the court, he would never think highly of Jia Baoyu.

Then, why did he want to lift Jia Baoyu out and erect it?

Grand Master She's first thought was Jia Baoyu's "Born with Jade".

Back in the day, when the old lady spread the story of the grandson's extraordinary birth throughout the capital, she knew it was wrong to pardon the grand master.Simply put, the Supreme Emperor who was in power at that time probably just took it as a joke, and he arranged another Zhou Catch Ceremony to fool this.

But the one who is now on the throne...is not very big-hearted!

Grand Master She couldn't help but think that the new emperor came to the throne through mutiny and forced the palace. There is another way besides appeasing the courtiers and dignitaries.

deterrence!Put up a sign as a model of deterrence.After thinking about it, the current Rongguo Mansion is really suitable for that board.

Speaking of it, his family is also a founding hero, and his ancestors were also founding heroes. He deserves to be the master of the Taimiao, and his status is considered high enough;If this kind of Rongguo Mansion was cleaned up, it would be able to slap the nobles big and small, without having to worry about causing any trouble.

Grandpa is depressed!
