The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Contrary to Jia's deserted and quiet, Zhang's family is full of guests. Zhang Pei has become a scholar hand-picked by the sages of this subject, and even hand-picked him to enter the Imperial Academy. Such an honor naturally makes everyone who knows come to congratulate him. Congratulations.

Mother Jia was feeling sorry for her precious grandson, so naturally she would not attend such an occasion, but Jia She and Mrs Zhang didn't care, they had to go if they had to go, and Mrs Wang tore a piece of veil after she knew about it , Jia Yuanchun actually wanted to follow along.

She knew that her marriage was not going well, and she couldn't help thinking that maybe if she went together today, she might be able to meet a student who has passed the Jinshi this year. Having a promising husband will not be a problem in the future.

It's just that she did too much before, Mr. Zhang never notified her at all, if she was asked to ask Mrs. Zhang, she would not be able to save face, and it is not good to ask the old lady at this time, so she can only wait at home. In my heart, I was really a little unhappy.

Although Jia's mother said that she wanted to hide this from Jia Zhu, it's a pity that such news can't be hidden. This is a good thing for the head wife Zhang's natal family. Let's not talk about Zhu being alone, but when Jia Zhu heard the news, his mood was even more miserable, and his health was also a little bit unwell.

When Mrs. Zhang returned home today, it was just for her nephew to congratulate her. She also wanted to take this opportunity to help her son consider the matter of marriage. There are quite a few people who will go to congratulate her today. You can also ask Take your mother's opinion.

Mrs. Zhang thought about a lot of things, but Jia Lian didn't think about it that much. He really went to congratulate his cousin. The only thing he wanted was to learn from the scriptures and find out what happened to Chunwei, "Cousin, Have you worked hard this year in Chunwei?"

Looking at his playful smile, Zhang Pei couldn't help laughing and said, "It's not just this year, what year is it not hard?"

Jia Lian nodded, "Well, that's true, but you've won the Tanhua prize now, even if you work harder, it's worth it." It's like those students who are taking the college entrance examination now. Grades, oops, I was able to enter Peking University and Tsinghua University. The happy life in the future is not a dream!

It's a pity that Zhang Peike is much more sober than modern candidates. "Just the number one scholar is once every three years. It's not counting the time when the Holy Majesty opened Enke, let alone the first prize."

But Jia Lian said with a smile, "Don't worry, cousin, there are as many candidates as there are champions."

"Okay, you just like to joke." Zhang Pei patted Jia Lian on the back, "Three years later, maybe I will go to congratulate you on winning the number one prize."

Jia Lian shook his head again and again, "Cousin, don't put pressure on me. It's good that I can pass the exam. Don't talk about the number one, even the top three would not even dare to think about it." He knew very well where his shortcomings were. I also try to write according to the most suitable for this era as much as possible, but there are really too many things in my head, and sometimes it is easy to appear some inappropriate things.

Zhang Pei said helplessly, "You are really muddling along, you like to tolerate yourself."

Jia Lian said with a smile, "It's good for cousin to know, don't tell grandpa and uncle, otherwise I'm afraid I will be beaten."

Zhang Pei smiled, "Then you are thinking too much, father and grandfather don't like violence, they will not beat you, they will only punish you for copying books."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Lian didn't react at all, but Zhang Di listened with a bitter face, "Copying books is already the most severe punishment, okay, why don't I get beaten up!"

Jia Lian has always performed well because of his strong self-control since he was a child. He is a child who is praised for his hard work and has never been punished. But Zhang Di is different. He studied with Jia Lian when he was young, but he was still childish and always He couldn't calm down and was fined many times as a result. Many times when Jia Lian performed his 120 times of Dafa, he was unlucky with him.

Seeing his appearance, Jia Lian smiled slightly, "You have never been beaten before, and you only thought of this when you were punished for copying books. When you are really beaten, you may think that you might as well be punished for copying books!"

Zhang Pei also agrees with Jia Lian's point of view, "Indeed, you haven't been beaten now, why don't I talk to my father about the way I discipline you next time?"

Zhang Di hastily waved his hands and shook his head again, "Don't do this, we are brothers, if you treat me like this, it would be too cruel."

Jia Lian still had a slight smile on his face, but the words he said were somewhat mocking, "Cousin, cousin, your real brother hasn't come back yet!" Speaking of this topic, he couldn't help but think of Jia Zhu's smile became even colder.

Zhang Pei knew that he might have thought of something, so he changed the subject with a smile, "I'm here to congratulate me today, don't think about anything else."

"Well, it's not enough just to be happy for you!" Jia Lian also said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang originally thought that today's celebration would be big, but unfortunately, she was wrong. Their family has always kept a low profile. Even on such a good day, it is just a few people they have known in the past. There was nothing else, which made her plan in the beginning a bit in vain, she had something in her heart, although she cheered up and smiled, others might not have noticed anything wrong, but Jiang Shi could see it clearly Chu, clearly.

"What's the matter, I look at you as if you have something on your mind." Jiang Shi is the one who knows her daughter best, and when the guests are almost gone, she drags Zhang Shi to her room and asks.

Mrs. Zhang nodded, "It's not Lian'er's business, he's grown up now, I wondered in my heart, should I make a marriage arrangement for him first."

Jiang laughed when she heard it, "Fifteen, it's really not young, I also mentioned Di'er in the letter I sent to your second brother this year, to see if they have found a suitable candidate, if not , I am here to help each other to see each other."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, "That's right, there are a lot of troubles in our house. A few days ago, Lian'er was almost forced to make a marriage. Fortunately, our master didn't agree, otherwise the days to come will be difficult." How do you live?" Of course, it's not that Jia She doesn't agree, it's just that she used some means to avoid this unhappy marriage.

Jiang frowned slightly, "Whose girl from the family made you so worried." In fact, she already had a plan in her heart. I'm afraid it's either from the Shi family or the Wang family. There are no girls of the right age in the Shi family. , it can only belong to the Wang family.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "It's not from that family. Forget it, let's not talk about it. That girl is pretty good. Apart from her surname, I really can't say anything particularly bad about it. I don't want to mention it." gone."

"If you choose a marriage for Lian'er, I won't remind you of the other things. You have your own ideas in your heart. What kind of girl is the best for Lian'er, otherwise you are a fairy, and you can't do it. It’s hard to have a good one.” Jiang said slowly, “Just a little, but don’t choose those girls from four kings and eight princes.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang immediately asked, "But what's wrong?" She never thought of choosing girls from those other families, but their family is also among the four kings and eight males. If there is any problem, it is better to contact her early Knowing is the best, and it is best to start preventing it early.

Mrs. Jiang saw that she was anxious, patted her hand and said, "There is nothing now. Since the old man left, your family has not been too involved in these things. Although the son-in-law is unreliable in other places, but because of He is not very capable, and he helped you avoid some troubles, you are fine now, don't worry too much, but you did something wrong instead."

What Jiang said was nothing more than Zhang Ren's guess, but Zhang Ren had been blessed by the Holy Grace in the officialdom for so many years. His guess is still quite trustworthy, and Zhang is the one who believes it very much.

After hearing Jiang's words, she said again and again, "I know it all, and I will pay more attention to it in the future. In fact, I don't have any contact with those families. It's just that our old lady values ​​those old relatives more."

Jiang smiled knowingly, "You don't have to worry too much about it, that old lady is not young after all, she is not social, isn't she?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded, but said a little unhappy, "At first, she really didn't like to socialize, but now that I see it, it's not the same thing. These days, because of her grandchildren's marriage, I'm afraid You are busy running outside!"

"These have nothing to do with you. Don't do this. Even if she talks about it, will it be possible?" Jiang said bluntly, "Your mansion is not as good as it used to be. If you refuse to tell the good boy to those two children, your old lady probably won't be satisfied with such a marriage."

After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhang felt that this was the case, and she felt relieved again, "This is the best."

What Mrs. Jiang said is absolutely correct. Mother Jia is now angry, "Do you dare to say such a child to our family?" Jia Zhu's is not bad, but it is not the kind of child she can look up to. , let alone Yuanchun's, they are basically the children of the second son's family who can't take charge, the eldest is not young and has never done anything, and it looks like the kind with no future in the future.

Jia Yuanchun naturally heard the news, and couldn't help but feel very depressed. She thought that she was raised by the old lady's side since she was a child, and she was the eldest daughter, and she was the only one who grew up in the Rongguo Mansion. My little girl, my brother has already won the exam, even if he enters the palace, he can get in, but now he can only be assigned to those people, he is really not reconciled.It's just unfortunate that no matter how unwilling she is, fate is like this, and it will not be too merciful to a person.

Yuan Chun's marriage is not easy to say, Jia's mother began to think about it, or else she would stop thinking about Yuan Chun's marriage. Next year will be the time for the emperor to choose a concubine. If the girls in their family play tricks, they will have no future. It is really limitless, not to mention, Yuan Chun's birthday is so extraordinary, it should be able to have a great fortune...
