Be a maid in the red mansion [Comprehensive]

The Xue family, Jiang Wanyin and their three sons sat in the main hall looking forward to it.But as long as Jiang Wanyin could sit still, the three sons were already in a state of anxiety.It's a matter of fate and future, no matter how stable Xue Hong's temperament is, he won't be able to sit still in this meeting.

At this moment, when she heard running footsteps, Jiang Wanyin also jumped up and stood up. Xue Ling and Xue Xun even rushed to the door, but Xue Hong stood there for a while.

"Madame, madam..."

I saw Lu An rushing over, and Xue Ling and Xue Fu, who were at the door, stretched out their hands to grab Lu An and asked.

"How? Brother, did you win?"

"Which number is the eldest brother?"

The two brothers asked in unison, and Jiang Wanyin and Xue Hong also stared at Lu An nervously.

"Second master, third master, the uncle has won. The uncle has won..."

In Rongqing Hall of Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang saw Lai Da and Zhou Rui coming in, stood up and asked impatiently.

"How? Did Pearl win? How many places did Pearl win?"

Mrs. Wang, Jia Shishi and the girls and maids in the room all stared at the two of them.

Lai Da pushed Zhou Rui to ask him to answer, but Zhou Rui almost fell to the ground when Lai Da pushed and staggered before he didn't pay attention.

Seeing the two of them like this, Mrs. Wang's complexion has changed, and she already has a bad premonition in her heart, but she refuses to believe it and is unwilling.Mrs. Wang glared at the two of them angrily and asked:

"I'm asking you something, why don't you say it quickly?"

"Hui, Mrs. Zhu, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu, he missed."

Zhou Rui shrank his neck and finished speaking, not daring to look at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang went crazy when she heard it.

"How could it be missed? How could my Pearl be missed!"

"It must be you two dog slaves who didn't look carefully."

Mrs. Wang got angry out of control, and Zhou Rui and Lai Da were so frightened that they fell to their knees on the ground.Listening to Mrs. Wang's angry complaints, Lai Da and Zhou Rui were wronged.

"Ma'am, the slave and Butler Lai have read it three times, from the beginning to the end, but I really can't find the name of the uncle."

"Exactly. The servant and Zhou Rui searched repeatedly but couldn't find the name of Master Zhu. Master Zhu didn't win. The servant saw that the uncle of the Xue family was No.3 in high school."

Lai Da didn't know why, but at this time he deliberately said that Xue Hong had passed the exam.

I saw Mrs. Wang's eyes widen like copper bells when she heard the words, and at the same time, a scream came from outside the door.

"uncle!"

It turned out that Jia Zhufei, who knew that today's rankings will be released, has recovered a bit after recuperating for a few days, forced Li Wan to help him to the Rongqing Hall, when he heard Zhou Rui and Lai Da's words when he arrived at the door, Jia Zhu was immediately hit and spit out blood When he reached the door curtain, he fell straight down.

Mrs. Wang heard Li Wan's exclamation and immediately rushed to the door just in time to see Jia Zhu fall down.

"Pearl..."

In an instant, the Rongqing hall was in chaos.

On the Xue family's side, Jiang Wanyin was overjoyed when she knew that her son had passed the exam and also won No.3.Xue Hong was also happy and silly, and sat there laughing.The two little ones were also very happy.

"Ma'am, the uncle passed the exam. Should we send someone to announce the good news to the concubine? The government will come to announce the good news in a while. Should all the firecrackers and copper coins be carried out?"

Seeing that the mother and son were all overjoyed, Yuzhi hurriedly reminded them.

"Yes, yes, yes, Lu An, you take people out to carry firecrackers and copper coins, and seal up the good news when they come, so that the neighbors will be happy. And Yuzhi, you will go to Prince Kang's mansion yourself Cherry announces good news."

"Mother, there's no need for Prince Kang's Mansion. My sister must have sent someone to look at the list a long time ago. I think my sister must have known about it long ago, so why bother."

Xue Hong will slow down now.

"It's not superfluous. Your sister sent someone to look at the list because your sister cares about you. We sent someone to announce the good news to your sister to let your sister know that we miss her and want her to be happy with us."

Jiang Wanyin glared at Xue Hong, then turned to tell Yuzhi.

Yuzhi took the order and took the things Jiang Wanyin had prepared for Baoying to Prince Kang's mansion to announce the good news.

Nearly an hour later, the servants from the government to announce the good news came over with beating gongs and drums.Because this announcement starts from the last place, and Xue Hong is No.3, which is already at the end.

Giving rewards, setting off firecrackers, and scattering copper coins, the front of Xue's gate is very lively.

The residence of the Xue family in Beijing is relatively close to the residences of many officials in the center of Beijing. After all, this residence was bought by the ancestors of the Xue family when they were granted the title of Ziwei Sheren.

The Xue family was happy and lively, while Wang Ziteng, who was still introspective on the Wang family's side, was not in a good mood after hearing the housekeeper's report about Xue Hong's passing the exam.

"That kid from the Xue family really hit it? Did you hear me right?"

Hearing the butler's report, Wang Ziteng was unwilling to believe it.

"Master, Xue Hong has indeed won, and he still won No.3."

"No. 3."

Wang Ziteng's originally displeased expression frowned after hearing this.

Can test No. 3, that is a certain Jinshi, if there is no accident, it will definitely be among the best after the palace ceremony, let alone be in the top one.

He didn't expect that kid from the Xue family to have such abilities, he was really mistaken.

"Master, the Xue family..."

The prince understood what the housekeeper had said.

Among the four major families in Jinling, the Xue family is a merchant, so it has always been the bottom of the four families.If Xue Hong wins Juren, the Xue family has already changed its family. If Xue Hong wins Jinshi and becomes an official, then the Xue family will completely get rid of the merchants and become an official family.

If Xue Hong is in the first class, then Xue Hong's official position is at least the seventh rank, which is only four levels behind his current rank five.

Now that he has been demoted and suppressed by the central government, he doesn't know when he will be able to recover, but that kid Xue Hong has Prince Kang's support, I am afraid that if he can't recover, it will not take two years for that kid Xue Hong to climb on top of him up.

Over the past ten years since Jia Daishan left, Wang Ziteng has replaced Jia Daishan as the spokesperson of the four families. The four families of Wang Shi and Jia Xue followed him, and now the Xue family, which is ranked last together, will come from behind and surpass King Jia Shi. At home, Wang Ziteng couldn't accept it.

"Butler, do we have someone in Xue's house?"

"Yes, master. When my aunt got married, she brought a lot of companions, and many of them stayed in Xue's old house in Beijing to work as errands."

"That brat from the Xue family is a bit younger after all, he should work on it for two or three years. You can arrange it."

"Yes, sir."

When the housekeeper came out of the study, he saw Zhou Rui crying and rushing towards him.Seeing Zhou Rui crying, the butler looked disgusted and felt unlucky, and his tone was not good.Zhou Rui married Mrs. Wang's eldest maid, and the couple were Mrs. Wang's confidantes, so they naturally traveled frequently with the Wang family.

"Zhou Rui, what are you doing? Why are you crying? What happened?"

Today will try to release the list, could it be that the Young Master Biao from Rongguo Mansion did not win.

"Butler, where's uncle?"

In the study, Wang Ziteng just opened the door and came out.

"What happened?"

Seeing that Zhou Rui was still crying, Prince Tenghu asked with a serious face.Zhou Rui looked at Wang Ziteng and immediately knelt down in front of Wang Ziteng.

"Master Uncle, our Master Zhu has gone!"

"say what!"

Hearing this, Wang Ziteng raised Zhou Rui with both hands to ask.

"Master Uncle, our Master Zhu has gone, Master Zhu has gone..."

"Tell me what is the matter? What is the matter with Pearl?"

The brother-sister relationship between Wang Ziteng and Mrs. Wang is very good. It can be said that in the past ten years, Wang Ziteng's ability to climb so fast is not only due to Wang Ziteng's own ability, but also half of the credit to Mrs. Wang.Because Mrs. Wang married into the Rongguo Mansion, and because after Jia Daishan's death, Mrs. Wang pulled the rope for Wang Ziteng to let Wang Ziteng take over Jia's power in the army, so Wang Ziteng was able to climb to the previous high position.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Ziteng was willing to take over the mess for Mrs. Wang for so many years. It is also because of this brother-sister relationship that Wang Ziteng loves Mrs. Wang's three children very much, so even after Wang Ziteng was demoted, he still took care of Mrs. Wang. RBI sent Jia Yuanchun to the palace.

But now he was told that his nephew was gone, and Wang Ziteng was also hit.

Prince Tengchi stared at Zhou Rui, almost scared Zhou Rui to death, Zhou Rui said in a panic:

"Uncle Zhu heard that the kid from the Xue family passed the exam. Uncle Zhu vomited blood. Uncle Zhu failed the exam. The master blamed Uncle Zhu. He disappeared after a while. The imperial doctor has not arrived yet..."

Although what Zhou Rui said was confusing, Wang Ziteng clearly heard that it was because the kid from the Xue family passed the exam that Jia Zhu vomited blood... Wang Ziteng immediately got angry and ordered Jia Zhu's death The blame fell on Xue Hong's head.

At this time, Mrs. Wang in Rongguo Mansion was crying bitterly while replacing Jia Zhu's body. Zhou Rui's family stood beside Mrs. Wang and wiped her tears. She wiped her tears and said:

"...It's all the fault of Xue Hong. If Master Zhu hadn't heard those words, Master Zhu wouldn't have vomited blood, and he wouldn't have died just like that...Master Zhu..."

Zhou Rui's family howled and looked at Mrs. Wang's face, seeing Mrs. Wang's expression of hatred when she listened to her words, Zhou Rui's family knew it was over.

Sister, you wait, my sister will avenge you.

Zhou Rui's family swore secretly in their hearts.

Just as what Zhou Rui's family said, Zhou Rui's family clung to Xue Hong, and Mrs. Wang really hated Xue Hong.

Mrs. Wang and Wang Ziteng are indeed brothers and sisters. No wonder they have a good relationship. Both of them like to blame others, blame innocent people for their faults, and resent innocent others.

Because of Jia Zhu's matter, and because Xue Hong passed the exam and became a tribute, Wang Ziteng's brothers and sisters hated Xue Hong's mother and son.

Naturally, Jiang Wanyin's mother and son didn't know about these things.

At this time, Xue Hong is busy preparing for the palace examination, and Jiang Wanyin is busy preparing for the dowry to go to the Wu family for his son to propose marriage.

Because Xue Hong still has to take the exam, and because Xue Hong's old friends and relatives in Beijing are only Jia Shiwang's three families and Prince Kang, so Xue Hong won the exam and Jiang Wanyin did not hold a banquet to celebrate, but just rewarded the servants in the mansion.

Regarding Xue Hong's marriage, Jiang Wanyin had sent a letter to Xue Yan half a month ago, and the letter might not have arrived in Jinling yet after calculating the time.

It's just that Jiang Wanyin only informed Xue Yan of Xue Hong's marriage. After all, Jiang Wanyin said that Prince Kang was the matchmaker, and Xue Yan dared not say anything even if she had an opinion.

The Xue family doesn't have much good things in the capital, and the family property and wealth are all in Jinling.

But the preparation of the dowry was not a problem for Jiang Wanyin, because she was rich.

Not to mention the silver she had stored in the storage room for several lifetimes, even Xue Yan secretly gave her 5 taels of silver when she came to Beijing this time.The 5 taels of betrothal gift alone is more than enough.But Jiang Wanyin didn't spend her own flowers, nor Xue Yan's. What she spent was silver taels brought from Wang's treasury and Mrs. Wang's private room.

After all, what the Xue family lacked the most was money, so a generous dowry was considered to save Prince Kang's face, and it was obvious that they attached great importance to the Wu family.

So he spent 2 taels to prepare a generous dowry gift, and another [-] dowry gift, Xue Hong took the dowry gift and went to Wu's family to make the engagement in person.
