[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

The news of Jia Yuanchun's appointment as a noble concubine spread throughout the capital in an instant. Ningrong and Rongfu were very lively. In Rongxi Hall, Wang Xifeng supported Jia's mother and said various auspicious words. Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue surrounded Mrs. Wang and congratulated her , a family of children overjoyed.

Jia Yuanchun was promoted to the position of noble concubine, and Jiamu and other female relatives who were ordered to go to the palace still needed to go to the palace to thank her. She asked Mrs. Wang to go back to the courtyard to prepare, and let the other female relatives return to the courtyard separately.

Lai everyone dressed up for Jiamu, and Yuanyang waited aside with Jiamu's court dress.

Everyone Lai inserted a golden hairpin into Jia Mu's bun, and said in a low voice, "The old lady's face is ugly when she says that about Miss Bao."

"I'm also in a hurry." Mother Jia stroked her hair, "I was already anxious in the palace test today, and I was even more anxious when Zheng'er was called away in the palace in the afternoon, and I spoke a little loudly. Come to my private treasury Pick out a few pieces of jewelry and send them to Bao girl."

Mother Jia stood up, and Yuanyang put on court clothes for her, "After entering the palace this time to thank you, I will take Yu'er here to stay for a few days. I haven't seen her for a while, and I miss her very much."

"Miss Biao must also miss the old lady very much." Yuanyang echoed with a smile.

Mother Jia smiled more and more comfortably.

At Mrs. Wang's place, Zhou Rui's family put on her make-up. Seeing that she had a different expression, he asked, "Young lady is already a noble concubine. Why doesn't Madam seem happy?"

"No, it's just that the old lady said that Bao girl was young and didn't know the importance, which made me feel uncomfortable. At that time, people from Ningguo Mansion were there, and the old lady said this in front of so many people. How can Bao girl convince the public in the future? "

"My wife thought about it too much. At that time when the master entered the palace, the old lady was worried. Just when Miss Bao tried to dissuade her, she said something in a hurry. The old lady must have no intention of doing so."

"Wuxin?" Mrs. Wang looked at Zhou Rui's family and asked, "If the old lady's granddaughter persuades her not to worry, saying that nothing serious will happen to the master when he enters the palace, you say that the old lady will also say that she is young, and I don't know the seriousness of it. ?"

Zhou Rui's family pulled the corners of their mouths and showed a slightly embarrassed smile. They all said that she was the granddaughter of the old lady, so how could they speak harshly to her?

"Forget it, today is a happy day. After we enter the palace, you tell the kitchen to delay dinner and make it bigger."

After all the female family members of the Jia family were dressed up, they headed for the palace in a mighty manner under the leadership of Jia's mother. This excitement affected most of the capital, and the reputation of Rongguo Mansion became even more prominent through publicity.

Lin Yuzhou would not join in the fun, he read in the study for a while, and waited for news from Ji Shengyan.

During the palace examination, a woman from the south of the Yangtze River sued the prefect of Suzhou, which also involved Wang Fengyuan, the servant of the household department. The third prince was busy solving this matter, and could not be distracted from the results of the palace examination.

Lin Yuzhou was turning the Langhao brush in his hand, Wang Chengzu solved it, Chen Minchun's nephew was taking part in the palace examination, he wanted to avoid suspicion, he would definitely not place him as the number one scholar, and he had a great chance of becoming the number one scholar.Lin Yuzhou inserted the Langhao pen back into the pen holder, feeling that the so-called number one scholar was full of political games.

fair play?Everywhere is a joke.

After Jia's mother entered the palace to thank her, she sent someone to pick up Lin Daiyu. The person who came to pick him up belonged to Mr. Lai. His words were very sincere, and Jia Min couldn't refuse. She thought it would only take two days. He wanted to go home no matter what, so he agreed.

Before Lin Daiyu took the three maids to Rongguo Mansion, Lin Yuzhou stopped Liu Xu and told her that if anyone in Rongguo Mansion dared to offend Lin Daiyu, no matter who it was, she could do it, regardless of the other party's life or death.

Two days later, on the morning of March [-]th, Lin Yuzhou and Lin Ruhai finished their breakfast and headed towards the palace.

Today is the Grand Ceremony of Chuanlu, and all the civil and military officials in the court need to participate, so Lin Ruhai naturally left with Lin Yuzhou.

The location of the Chuanlu Grand Ceremony is the same place as the examination room of the Palace Examination. Lin Yuzhou was separated from Lin Ruhai at Chengtian Gate. After passing the inspection of the guards, he walked towards the Huangji Palace familiarly.

Many officials gathered in the square in front of the Hall of the Emperor. They lined up in two teams according to their grades and stood on the steps. Behind the officials was the team of Jinshi who passed the palace examination. The ranking was still in accordance with the ranking of the examination. Lin Yuzhou ranked first. .

When everyone stood in line, the sound of drums sounded. Chen Minchun walked to the front holding the imperial list. He placed the imperial list by the table above the steps, and then returned to the team.

The sun had already risen high, and Lin Yuzhou bathed in the sun for a while before Emperor Jialong appeared slowly. He followed the crowd and shouted "Long live my emperor, long live, long live".

After the salute, Emperor Jialong led the officials into the Huangji Hall, and Lin Yuzhou's Jinshi had to bask outside in the sun.

After waiting for a while, Lin Yuzhou heard the official of Honglu Temple on the steps shout: "No. 1, Lin Yao of Suzhou Prefecture."

Lin Yuzhou came out, and after hearing the official yell this sentence three times, he followed him into the Huangji Hall.

As the No. 30 scholar entered the palace, No. [-] and Tan Hua also appeared one after another. No. [-] was a young man in his [-]s, looking very honest. Tan Hua was Chen Minchun's nephew. He was not bad, but his eyes were a bit small.

After the first chants were sung, the officials of Honglu Temple began to sing the list of the second. What Lin Yuzhou didn't expect was that the No.1 of the second was his friend Fu Jue. Chuanlu is also worth celebrating.

After most of the lists were sung, under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites, Lin Yuzhou bowed to the emperor five times and bowed three times. The drums sounded again, and Emperor Jialong left the Huangji Hall.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites put the imperial list on the cloud disk and walked in the front. Lin Yuzhou and his group of scholars followed behind the officials, accompanied by drums and music all the way to the left gate of Chang'an, where the officials of the Ministry of Rites hung up the imperial list.

The Ceremony of Passing on Lulu came to an end here, but Lin Yuzhou couldn't leave. He was the number one scholar, and he had to wear a big red flower on his chest, ride a big white horse, and come to a street parade to show the public.He had a smile on his face, but his heart was full of pain. Fu Jue patted him on the shoulder, expressing that there was nothing he could do to help.

The news that Lin Yuzhou had won the number one prize reached Lin's mansion immediately. Mrs. Lin was so happy that she couldn't even speak coherently, and so did Jia Min.The two female family members stood in the backyard, worshiping wildly towards the Buddhist temple on the west and the Taoist temple on the east, and Nanny Liu followed Jia Min in blind worship.

After a while, Lin Chang stepped forward and said, "Brother said he was going to bring the girl back today, is the younger one arranging a carriage to go to Rongguo Mansion?"

"Yes, yes." Mrs. Lin waited for Jia Min: "As a mother, you can't just ignore your son and ignore your daughter, and rush to pick up Yu'er, and bring her back quickly while there are not many people on the street."

Although she was bullied by Mrs. Lin, Jia Min's mood did not change at all. She smiled and said: "What mother said is that I have already sent someone to pick it up early in the morning. This matter was arranged by Madam Liu. Yu'er is probably coming soon."

Mrs. Lin complained: "Then you didn't say it earlier."

"It's the old slave's fault." Madam Liu stepped forward and said, "The old slave forgot to tell Manager Lin."

Mrs. Lin's expression eased.

Jia Min calculated the time correctly, they waited in the mansion for a while, and Lin Daiyu came back.

"Grandmother, mother." With a smile on her face, Lin Daiyu trotted to the two elders, "When will brother come back?"

Mother Jia and Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Chang at the same time.

"Old lady, madam, elder brother walks from Jinshuimen, around Xifu Street, Ningbei Street, and then to Dongping Lane, at least it will take more than half an hour."

"That's just right, you have someone prepare the money for the reward, and after Brother Yao enters the mansion, spread the money, and the reward money for the yamen who came back with him will be wrapped in a red envelope."

"Yes, little one, let's get ready."

After Lin Chang went down, the three female relatives walked to the gate of Lin's mansion, which was the end of Lin Yuzhou's parade, and they waited for him to go home.

The news of Lin Yuzhou's number one scholar also had a great impact on Rongguo Mansion. After sending Daiyu away, Jia's mother called Jia Lian and asked him to prepare a congratulatory gift and send it to Lin Yuzhou when he returned to Lin Mansion.

The granddaughter has a champion brother, the son-in-law will definitely be promoted, and the granddaughter in the palace has become a noble concubine. Jia's mother is in a very happy mood at this time, and everything is developing in the best direction. When her Baoyu marries Daiyu, there will be a With the support of the imperial concubine and the Lin family outside, the Jia family will be restored to its former glory just around the corner.

She thought so, so she told Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang pulled her handkerchief and said, "Mother's idea is very good, but didn't the noble concubine Gong Zhongchen mention that she wanted Daiyu to be the third prince's concubine? If Baoyu were to marry..."

"She was dreaming." Mother Jia looked down, and once again felt that Mrs. Wang's head was made of elm wood, which made people sigh so stupidly, "She was trying to win over the Lin family, can't you see it?"

"The Zhen family and our family share the same spirit, if there is such a marriage, wouldn't it be just right?"

"Yuanchun is a noble concubine. If she gives birth to a prince in the future, her status will be very honorable. If the third prince is allowed to marry Daiyu, who will the Lin family support in the future? Have you never thought about it?" Mother Jia suppressed the anger in her heart and said earnestly : "I know you want Girl Bao to be your daughter-in-law, but apart from money, what help can the Xue family give your empress in the court?"

Mrs. Wang was speechless. She was only thinking about Baoyu, but she forgot that her daughter's current status is incomparably noble. If she is lucky enough to give birth to a prince, her wealth and honor in the future will be unimaginable. If she plans carefully, she may become the grandmother of the future emperor... …

The more she thought about it, the hotter she became, and Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "It's my daughter-in-law who is short-sighted. From now on, Baoyu's marriage will be decided by her mother."

Jia Mu nodded: "I love Baoyu the most, and I will definitely plan well for him. We will maintain the relationship between the Zhen family in the future, but we must be careful when communicating. Concubine Chen is loved by the Holy One, but she is older than Yuan Chunnian. At the age of 20, how long can this love last?"

Mrs. Wang said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law understands, I will deal with the people on Chen Guifei's side well."

"As long as you have the heart, don't make it too obvious, and don't offend the people over there."
