[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child

The issue of the Chastity Archway was resolved smoothly without causing much disturbance.

The government decree for women and men to take part in the imperial examination as usual and become an official is also written in the imperial decree related to the chastity archway, because the two are related, and no one thinks it is wrong, and because the chastity archway has caused a lot of trouble Powerful, even if someone opposed women's participation in the imperial examination, they would not dare to bring up such a matter, so that this arrangement was implemented smoothly without any bad influence.

Lin Liu gained fame in the Chastity Archway, although it was not enough, but it was much better than being just an unknown female emperor in everyone's mind.

At least, Lin Liu is no longer just an unknown empress in the eyes of the common people, but an empress who listens to the suggestions of the common people.

Not long after this incident ended, grain harvests were about to start all over the country.

As Lin Liu was worried about before, after the food was put away, there were some riots of various sizes all over the country. There are also Xinke Jinshi who urgently need to show Lin Liu, and soldiers under Ji Song, so these riots were suppressed in time and did not cause too much panic.

After the matter was over, there was also good news from Huangzhuang.

Lin Ruhai and Ji Song came to the palace together early in the morning, just after the court.

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Liu and said with a smile: "There is news from Huangzhuang that the potatoes have been harvested, little Qilin, do you want to go and have a look?"

Lin Liu looked at Lin Ruhai in surprise: "So fast?"

But after thinking about it, first Enke, then Huaben, several months have indeed passed in between, and the potatoes are indeed at the time for a good harvest.

So she nodded and asked Bichun to bring a piece of regular clothes over to change.

The three of them went to Huangzhuang together with eunuchs and guards.

The people in Huangzhuang also knew what they were doing here today, so they didn't dare to hesitate, and took them directly to the field.

Because they knew they were coming, the potatoes hadn't started digging yet.

Lin Liu glanced at the green plants all over the ground, and nodded, "Have someone dig out all the potatoes."

Originally, Lin Ruhai and Ji Song seemed to be planting potatoes on their own farm, but later found that the potatoes and sweet potatoes collected in the entire capital were only tens of thousands of catties. An acre of potato seeds was reserved for planting in Huangzhuang.

Now that the potatoes are harvested, it's time for them to verify the potato production.

Potatoes are easy to dig. An experienced old farmer can dig out a nest of potatoes with a hoe, without hurting the potatoes.

But even if the old farmer harvests quickly, there is still an acre of potatoes.

The three of them waited from morning to lunch time when the old farmer in Huangzhuang dug out all the potatoes.

If you want to see the actual output, you must wash all the potatoes before weighing them.But the potatoes after washing are not so easy to preserve, so after discussing with each other, the three of them decided that a fairly large amount would be enough.

The freshly dug potatoes were put into more than 20 baskets in a frame, and the old farmer weighed them in order, and then added up the total.Each basket of potatoes is about [-] catties, and this mu of land has produced nearly [-] catties of potatoes in total.

Not to mention Lin Ruhai and Ji Song, even Lin Liu couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this number: "So many?"

Today's three thousand catties is equivalent to nearly five thousand catties in modern times.

Even for modern farmers, one mu of land may not be able to grow such a large yield.

The person in charge of Huangzhuang scratched his head in embarrassment: "The slave didn't expect to produce so many potatoes this time. Before planting half an acre of land, in fact, he could only get about a thousand catties of potatoes."

One mu of land is only two thousand catties, and it may even be less than that.

"But this time I know that the emperor, the chief assistant, and the general are coming to see the results. The people below have taken care of them more carefully than before, and fertilization and so on have been more careful than before." The person in charge smiled, "Thanks to the emperor, otherwise we would not Knowing that potatoes are taken care of carefully, the yield can be increased so much."

Lin Liu ignored the person in charge's flattery, and exchanged glances with Lin Ruhai and Ji Song, each stepped forward and took a potato before their eyes.

To be honest, today's potatoes are really not as big as the potatoes that Lin Liu saw in modern times, but these potatoes are so much knotted, there are at least ten in a litter, and there are almost twenty more, it's really amazing to reach this number Not a surprise.

What's more, the people in Huangzhuang are doing business for the royal family, and they are working with their heads up.

The emperor issued an order to check the yield of potatoes. In order to please the emperor, they were also worried that the yield would be too low and the emperor would be dissatisfied. Therefore, intensive cultivation, taking care of the potatoes of this acre of land as their ancestors, it is really amazing that they can have a yield of five thousand catties It's very strange.

After all, modern intensive cultivation can still reach eight thousand catties.

However, if you don't select seeds and breed them, five thousand catties may be the highest yield of potatoes.The terrifying amount of [-] jin per mu in modern times has something to do with the variety.

But five thousand catties was enough to reassure Lin Liu and the others.

Lin Liu put down the potatoes and turned to look at Lin Ruhai: "Father, can you rest assured now? The disaster area has just been flooded, and the land is fertile. Even if the people are not as careful as the old farmers here in Huangzhuang, they can still produce [-] catties per mu. Arrived."

Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief: "This is really great."

It was Gui Ling who went to the disaster area to promote potatoes and sweet potatoes, his eldest son. Even though he knew that the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes would get great credit, he was still worried that something went wrong and put Gui Ling in danger.

Now I can be relieved.

Ji Song also nodded: "Other places are easy to talk about. I have been worried that the people in the disaster area will not have enough to eat. Even if the food is transferred from other places, it will always treat the symptoms but not the root cause. When the potatoes are harvested, the victims will be able to return to normal life , don’t worry about anything else.”

Most ordinary people are very law-abiding, and they are very tolerant when encountering anything.

But others can bear it, and the hungry stomach is really unbearable.

Don't you see how many uprisings happened because the people were hungry and couldn't survive.

The capital side is relieved, and the Guiling side also let out a long sigh of relief after digging out an acre of potatoes——

Although before coming to the disaster area, Guiling already knew that the food promotion trip might not go well, but when he arrived in the disaster area, he realized that the trip was not going well even beyond his previous imagination.

First of all, as Guiling had already expected, the common people did not believe that potatoes and sweet potatoes could fill their stomachs.

——But this is very easy to solve, as long as the disaster victims push out a leader and cook a potato for him to eat, the other party will naturally know whether the potato can fill their stomachs.

Knowing that potatoes can fill their stomachs, the common people are not so resistant to switching to potatoes as a crop.

After all, they have already missed the spring planting time. If they don't grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, they can only grow some vegetables or cash crops in the fields to sell.

But everyone grows cash crops, and they also know that when they are harvested, the price will drop sharply, and ordinary people will not be able to make money at all.

The little money they earn from selling cash crops, apart from the family's chewing expenses for half a year, is not sure whether the rest will be enough to buy seeds, farm tools and other daily necessities next year.

Therefore, after discovering that potatoes and sweet potatoes can fill the stomach, the resistance of the common people will naturally decrease.

But the problem is, even if they know that this thing can fill their stomachs, if the common people want to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes on most of the land, or even all the land, they will certainly not be willing——

Although potatoes and sweet potatoes can fill their stomachs, they have never heard of it before, let alone planted it.In case something unexpected happens during the process of planting potatoes and sweet potatoes, who will compensate them for their labor and time during this period?

The key is, once the harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes does not meet expectations, what will they do in the second half of the year or even next year?If the government can manage them for one year, can they still manage them for two or three years?

Under the instigation of someone with good intentions, the common people directly stamped an unreliable label on Guling's head, and completely violated his arrangements, which made Guiling annoyed for a long time.

He is in the officialdom like a fish in water, and he can use all kinds of tricks to achieve his own tone when in contact with officials, but the common people are different, they are straight-hearted, whoever gives them food, they will follow.

If you can't give them food and do something that convinces them, they can be obedient.But tortoise and elders don't stick to each other, which makes them feel unreliable. Naturally, not many people listen to his orders.

Guiling was so angry that he directly asked those who caused trouble to be arrested, and threatened with rations, and forcibly shared how many acres of potatoes and sweet potatoes each household had to plant. He would also send people to patrol every day. Obedience and violation, he directly cut off his family's rations for half a month.

His attitude became tough, and except for a few thorns, everyone else was persuaded.

Guiling: "..."

He also has lost his temper. He just patrols around every day with the old Huangzhuang farmers who have experience in growing potatoes and sweet potatoes. rebuke.

The common people also have to face, and gradually they dare not mess around.

At this time, Lu Sui's newspaper, which published the introduction of potatoes and sweet potatoes, was finally sent to the disaster area.

Guiling directly asked his guards to read the introduction of potatoes and sweet potatoes to the common people one by one when they were on patrol.

In fact, Guiling had told them the above content, but maybe Guiling was too young. When ordinary people heard him introduce potatoes and sweet potatoes, most of the time they would go in the left ear and out the right ear, and they didn't take it seriously at all.

But the information published in the newspaper is different——

In the minds of ordinary people, newspapers have the same status as books.

Books have always been regarded as sacred objects by these illiterate people. Once someone says that knowledge can be read from books, they will immediately be regarded as wise words by these people, and they must be strictly followed without any mistakes or omissions.

So overnight, Guiling discovered that the people who were originally passive had become positive and motivated, and they were more careful than before when serving potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Potatoes are okay, they are usually germinated and cut into pieces, then wrapped in a layer of plant ash, and planted after being buried in the soil; after the sweet potatoes are planted, the vines must be divided after they grow to a certain length.

For each sweet potato vine several meters long, cut a section at two or three nodes, and then insert the cutting directly into the soil, and a nest of sweet potatoes can grow.

The process of cuttings should never be ignored.

Guiling used to be very worried that the victims would have a wrong attitude at this time, but now, without his instructions, the victims can find experienced Huangzhuang old farmers themselves, and after asking the timing of cutting the sweet potato vines, they can do it at the right time. It's time to cut the sweet potatoes into strips and cut them.

At first, Guiling was worried that they were messing around, and then took Zhuangtouer around the fields...

Well, he seems to be more careful than the head of the village.

Guiling laughed angrily when he saw it: he was so earnest before, and he told the victims of the benefits of potatoes and sweet potatoes like an old woman. In order to make them more active, he also told them the production of potatoes and sweet potatoes .

The results of it?He has said so much, it is not as good as an article in the newspaper.

If I had known earlier, wouldn't it be great if he would personally go into battle and write a related article for Lu Sui's newspaper?

Guiling was indeed pissed off by the reaction of the victims, but within two days, his anger subsided——

No matter what, it is good to achieve the goal.

However, he also learned from this incident that the common people's attitude towards books and newspapers will not be stupid in doing things in the future. If there is anything he wants the common people to do, just write an article and submit it to the bookstore. At that time, I will take the newspaper and ask the victims to do it. Although it has turned a corner, the effect is much better than that of him personally.

In the next few months, Guiling and the victims got along extremely harmoniously——

In the eyes of the victims, the hairless adult no longer often "directs blindly", which naturally makes them happy, and is willing to give him a smile when he sees Guiling occasionally; and if something happens to Guiling, as long as he Send a contribution to the newspaper, and everything will be done, and naturally you will not be embarrassed when facing the disaster victims.

When it was harvest time, Guiling appeared in the field again.

The common people are busy harvesting, except for the village chief who is waiting for someone to come to receive him, no one comes to Guiling.

Suddenly, the villagers let out an exclamation.

Guiling was about to turn his head to look, when he heard cries of surprise coming from other places one after another.

He was about to ask carefully, when he saw the village head next to him salute him, and said anxiously: "The little one seemed to hear a dog barking, and he was a little worried. Can the adults allow the little one to go over and have a look?"

Guiling nodded: "I happen to be curious too, let's go there together."

So the village chief took the lead and soon arrived at his family's field.

As soon as they arrived, before the village chief had time to ask, the village chief's son appeared in front of the village chief holding a pile of potatoes with a look of surprise on his face: "Daddy, daddy, look quickly, these are potatoes that were dug out!"

The village chief looked at his son blankly: "I know these are potatoes."

The son opened his mouth and said incoherently: "This is potatoes, a nest of potatoes! There are so many! Just like the adults said, so many, we won't have to go hungry this year and next year!"

The village head was still a little confused, and Gui Ling smiled and said: "The village head, what your son means is that all the potatoes in his hand were dug out from one pit. If the potatoes in other pits are also different from this time Not too big, so not only will you not be hungry this year, but these potatoes can even keep you eating until next year, so you won’t be hungry at all.”

The village chief was taken aback for a moment, then grabbed his son's shoulders in surprise and shook back and forth: "What you said is true. These potatoes were really dug out from a pit? All of them?"

His son was shaken until his eyes stared, but he still managed to speak: "Yes, yes, please let go of me, father, I am so dizzy! All the potatoes fell to the ground and broke!"

The village chief let go of his hand in an instant, regardless of his son's dizziness, he staggered on the spot, squatted on the ground and picked up the potatoes one by one with a face full of reverence, and put them into his clothes, as if he was treating some kind of treasure.

Guiling was stunned, and squatted down on the ground to help him pick it up.

As soon as I picked one up, I found that a large drop of water fell to the ground, leaving a mark that made people feel sour.

Looking up, Li Zheng and the village chief's son were smiling, but their eyes were slightly red.

Gui Ling paused, and said with a smile: "I told you a long time ago that the output of potatoes is two thousand catties. You didn't believe it before, but now you know that I didn't lie, right?"

He intended to see the village chief crying, distracting the village chief's attention by talking, but he didn't expect that the village chief, who was picking up potatoes, knelt down in front of Guiling with a plop: "Your Excellency is dedicated to the people, we don't care about you!" Knowing a good heart makes an adult feel wronged. I don’t ask for forgiveness from an adult, I just hope that an adult will not hold grudges. We will never forget your great kindness.”

As he spoke, he cried and kowtowed to Gui Ling.

Gui Ling was startled, and jumped to the side suddenly, not receiving the great gift from the village chief: "Village chief, get up quickly, kowtow to me at your age, I will lose my life!"

The village chief was stunned, turned around and saw his stupid son, dragged him to the ground and knelt down: "Kowtow!"

Guiling was almost scared away.

Later, when Li Zheng saw that he really didn't want to be kowtowed by others, he grabbed the village head and his son directly with each other: "How old are you, and you want to come out as soon as you come out. Look, the adults are all beaten by you!" Scared."

The village head looked at Gui Ling, seeing that he was still in shock, he muttered for a long time, but he didn't speak.

Guiling breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained: "I went to the disaster area to promote potatoes and sweet potatoes, which was within the scope of my duties. I really can't be such a gift from the village chief. If you really want to thank, thank the emperor. "

Thinking of Lin Liu, Guiling smiled, "Potatoes and sweet potatoes were actually shipped back to my country from overseas more than 100 years ago, but they only appeared on the tables of royal families and dignitaries before, and they were regarded as vegetables and pastimes. over using it as a staple food.”

"It was the emperor who discovered that these two things can fill the stomach and produce a lot, so when he learned of the plight of the disaster area, he thought of sending potatoes and sweet potatoes to relieve everyone's urgent needs. Because he was worried that the seeds would not be enough, the emperor beat the drums and gongs Go to those Zhuangzi in the capital and buy all the potatoes and sweet potatoes they store."

"Even if I will come to the disaster area, it is also appointed by the emperor." Guiling emphasized again, "You all have to thank, remember to thank the emperor."

Li Zheng and the village chief looked at each other and nodded in unison.

The village head was about to speak when his son said honestly, "So the emperor asked us to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes? Don't worry, my lord. We will make a longevity card for the emperor immediately after we go back and offer it every day to thank him for his kindness." Great kindness."

If it was before, the village chief would have scolded him long ago.

But this time, he agreed with a full face: "Yes, yes, we will order the longevity card for the emperor when we go back. Not only will I order it myself, but I will also call on the villagers to order it together. The emperor has done so much for us, just to prevent us. Hungry, we can't do anything for the emperor, we can only make a long life card to worship, I hope such a good emperor can live a long life!"

Gui Ling laughed, and was about to speak, when he saw Li Zheng next to him also said seriously: "It is true that we should order a longevity card for the emperor. Many people said before that the emperor is a woman with long hair and short knowledge, and it is impossible to manage it well." One country. I believed it at the time, and I was always full of prejudice against the emperor, but now, I think those people are just farting!"

"It's not that our place has never been affected by disasters before. The emperor at that time was a man, but in the end he only distributed enough rations for our family. Whether it's a place to live or food seeds for the coming year, it's all up to us. purchase."

"We were hungry for a year, and we saved the money to buy seeds in the next year. In order to save money for seeds, a young daughter starved to death."

As he spoke, Lizheng's eyes turned red, "I only got such a daughter when I was over half a hundred years old, and I raised her so pampered until she was five years old, who knows..."

"It's better for the emperor," Li Zheng rubbed his tears, "I don't care if the emperor is a man or a woman? As long as the people can live a good life, they are good emperors. How can a longevity tablet be enough? Let my son order it, let my grandson order it, and let every family in our area enshrine a longevity tablet for the emperor!"

Originally, Gui Ling didn't want the village head to make a big show and ask everyone to order longevity tablets for his sister, but after hearing Li Zheng's words, he changed his mind——

It wasn't Li Zheng's words that moved him, but he heard a not-so-good news from Li Zheng's words: Although Lin Liu had been enthroned for more than half a year, there were still many people across the country who were dissatisfied with her and felt that she With long hair and short knowledge, there is no way to manage a country well.

If Lizheng can really mobilize the people under his command to enshrine a longevity tablet for Lin Liu, he will write another article and submit it to the newspaper to promote it, which will also benefit Lin Liu's reputation.

So he swallowed all the words that slipped to his lips, and instead smiled and said: "If the emperor knows about this, he will be very happy."

A bumper harvest is always a joy, not to mention that after the people in the disaster-stricken area had been prepared to starve for a year, they found that the harvest far exceeded expectations. Not only did they no longer have to starve, but they even had a surplus?

Because they were so happy, the local people didn't hesitate when they heard that the village head and Li were about to enshrine the longevity tablet to the emperor, and they agreed directly.

Not only did they agree, they also actively found someone to complete the tablet, and they took the longevity tablet home and worshiped it that day.

It's not just the people here who have a good harvest.

After the people in other places in the disaster area knew about this incident, they rushed to follow suit and enshrined the emperor's longevity tablet at home.

Slowly, this trend spread directly to the entire disaster area.

Because the commotion was quite big, it even spread to several prefectural cities next to the disaster area, which attracted many people's amazement.

The common people didn't think there was anything wrong with it, they only thought that the people in the disaster area were sincerely grateful to the emperor, even though they didn't receive the favor from the emperor, they actually had a good impression of the current female emperor——

Although he is not as good as the people in the disaster area, when he hears other people belittle Lin Liu because of his gender, he is willing to say a word or two of justice.

This is higher and more solid than the reputation obtained through the chastity arch before——

After all, the most important responsibility of being an emperor is to feed the common people. As for other virtues and talents, it is of course best to have them, but if not, the common people will not say anything.

After all, aren't all emperors like that?

But now, Lin Liu has filled the stomachs of the people in the disaster area.

Rounding up, that is, let yourself eat your stomach.At least they don't have to worry about starvation when disasters hit other places in the future.

However, the news of the disaster area will not spread to the capital so quickly——

Because of the longevity, the bookshops in Gusu often published a few issues of newspapers and periodicals for him alone, but most of these newspapers and periodicals were only circulated in the south of the Yangtze River and the disaster-stricken areas, and even if they were to be sent to the capital, they would have to wait a month or two , Jingcheng did not receive the news so quickly.

But Lin Liu knew right away that the people in the disaster area had enshrined longevity tablets for her.

Because a monk came together again to congratulate her.

Lin Liu was puzzled: "Why do you like it?"

The lame Taoist laughed: "Tens of thousands of people in the disaster area enshrined longevity tablets for you at home. Although this does not allow you to practice like us, it is still very helpful to prolong your life."

The scarlet head monk nodded: "Based on the scale of enshrining longevity tablets for you now, you can increase your life span by at least ten years. If more people enshrine longevity tablets in the future, your life span will be even longer."

The lame Taoist glanced at Lin Liu and said with a smile, "You are a long-lived person. If you do good deeds in the future, you may live a long life."

Lin Liu was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect such an unexpected joy.

Living in ancient times, she didn't have any worries at all. Among them, what worried her most was the level of medical treatment in ancient times.

Chinese medicine is very good, but there are still many diseases that cannot be treated.

She is very worried, whether she will catch a cold, or get injured, or get another disease that cannot be cured now.

Later, I got to know a monk, and felt that even if she was sick, such a person with miraculous means could save her, so she felt a little bit more secure.

However, the whereabouts of the monks and the others are uncertain, and it is not so reliable to pin their hopes on these two people. Now that there are other guarantees, Lin Liu himself feels happy.

Lin Liu looked at a monk and said, "Are you here today just to congratulate me?"

The two looked at each other and shook their heads: "That's not the case."

The lame Taoist said, "Although congratulations to you are also one of the reasons, the main reason we came here today is not because of this, but because something happened to the Jia family."

The Jia family?

Lin Liu suddenly realized that she hadn't heard from the Jia family for a long time.

Has it been more than half a year?

The last time I heard news about Jia's family, I was told by a monk together, but it was just incidental at that time, and it was more news about Twelve Hairpins and Baoyu.

Lin Liu paused, and asked, "Did something happen to Jia Baoyu?"

The lame Taoist shook his head: "Enke is over, isn't there still a normal imperial examination? If I'm not mistaken, next year will be the year of the imperial examination, right? The court's mansion report said that the merits of the scholars' previous examinations are recognized. In this case, next year's imperial examination Will it be held as scheduled?"

Lin Liu nodded, not understanding why he suddenly raised this question.

The lame Taoist sighed: "Zhen Baoyu, who was reincarnated by Shenying's waiter, has come to the capital to prepare for the exam. After the two met, not only did they not hang out together because of their similar personalities, but they had a very unpleasant quarrel."

"Zhen Baoyu, as someone who has been there, persuaded Jia Baoyu to study and make progress, to shoulder his own responsibilities, and not to be mixed in the pile of makeup. He had good intentions, but Jia Baoyu felt that Zhen Baoyu was meddling in other men's business It's really filthy and stinky, and I almost don't have any contact with it anymore."

Lin Liu nodded, not surprised.

but……

"What's the matter?" Lin Liu was puzzled, "It sounds like the two of them just couldn't be friends because of their disagreement. What's the big deal?"

The lame Taoist shook his head: "This is just an introduction. The key is that the old lady decided to strictly discipline Jia Baoyu after she learned about it. Afterwards, regardless of Jia Baoyu's wishes, she forced him to study."

The old lady indulged Jia Baoyu before, but it was just an expedient measure to preserve the Rongguo Mansion and his life.Originally, he wanted to support the disabled, so naturally he didn't care whether he was studying or not, whether he was motivated or not.

But now that the previous dynasty has declined and the new emperor has ascended the throne, the Lin family and the Jia family are still related by marriage.

Although Lin Ruhai has always looked down on the men of Rongguo Mansion, even for Jia Min's sake, they would not do anything to the Jia family or Jia Baoyu.

That being the case, if Jia Baoyu stays at home to be raised by a woman, what does it sound like?

Jia Baoyu's mother has passed the filial piety, and she can also study for the imperial examination.

Jia Baoyu still regarded Jia Mu as Mrs. Wang, and even though he wanted him to make progress, he would only make indirect comments on him, hoping that people around him would persuade him to make progress in his studies.

But unexpectedly, the old lady directly sent him to a village in the suburbs, and directly left all the maids around him in the capital.

There were hardly any young girls on the farm, and even if there were, they were only three or four-year-old girls, and the rest were either married daughters-in-law, or peasants and old women who worked.

Jia Baoyu only stayed in the village for a month, but couldn't take it anymore, and managed to escape back to the capital.

But he only stayed in the Jia family's current house for one night, and when he was sleeping soundly, he was tied up from the bed and sent to Zhuangzi again.

In order to prevent Jia Baoyu from escaping, the old lady also sent a team of guards to guard against death, completely eliminating the possibility of Jia Baoyu escaping again.

For Jia Baoyu in that village, life would be better than death.

Not only is there no beautiful maid to serve her around, not to mention the food, clothing, housing and transportation compared with the Rongguo Mansion period, even if compared with before, it is heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, no matter whether he was crying and making a fuss in Zhuangzi, or throwing jade, he would be suppressed by the guards. No one in the capital cared about it, and no one came to visit him.

Jia Baoyu was not stupid, and immediately understood the old lady's attitude.

But he was not willing to just compromise like this, and followed the old lady's idea to become an official through the imperial examination.

According to Jia Baoyu's idea, the empress had already promulgated an imperial decree after she ascended the throne, agreeing that women have the same rights as men, and they can also be promoted through the imperial examination.

If the Jia family is really short of people who have passed the imperial examinations and become officials...

Tanchun and Xichun are both talented and knowledgeable, especially Tanchun, who wants to earn a bright future for himself, so why don't they just let them take the imperial examination?Why force yourself, a person who doesn't want to take the imperial examination, to take the imperial examination?

But no, the old lady didn't want to let the girl in the family go out to show her face at all.

Even when Jia Min brought the silver title deed and other things to the Jia family, he mentioned it, but the old lady directly rejected it.

Jia Baoyu is really smart, he quickly managed to bribe the children in the village, and asked him to help find Jia Zhu in the capital, hoping that Jia Zhu would rescue him.

It's a pity that Jia Zhu still felt that the old lady's methods were too gentle, and wished to drive Jia Baoyu out of Jia's house directly, let him suffer from poverty outside, so that he would know how absurd his thinking was, how could he be expelled from Zhuangzi? Take it back to the capital?

The lame Taoist sighed: "The Jia family was very kind, but they didn't expect that this would give Jing Huan an opportunity. Jia Baoyu didn't have anyone close to Zhuangzi, so he calmed down and read the book for a while. It's a pity that Zhuangzi Adjacent to the temple, and Miaoyu lived in the temple."

"When Miaoyu learned that Jia Baoyu had come to Zhuangzi, she visited from time to time. That Miaoyu never persuaded Baoyu to study, and she was very knowledgeable. When they came and went, the two became friends. Now, Baoyu They are arguing about marrying Miaoyu."

Lin Liu was stunned: "Miaoyu, and Baoyu?"

Although these two people can't be said to be incompatible, they don't have much contact with each other, even if Miaoyu has a little bit of love for Baoyu...

"Isn't Miaoyu a monk?" Lin Liu blinked, "Could it be that she has returned to vulgarity?"

The lame Taoist nodded: "After Baoyu said that she wanted to marry her, she discussed with the abbot and returned to vulgarity. It's a pity that the old lady is unwilling to agree to this marriage."

After all, regardless of Miaoyu's background, she is a member of the former royal family.

Now that the new dynasty was established, although the men of the former royal family died and some were imprisoned, most of the female family members survived.There are even a few princesses who stayed behind, but you see, has any news about these royal princesses and princesses ever spread?

They seem to have disappeared, so low-key that they have no sense of existence.

Not only are they keeping a low profile, but their former relatives and friends also avoid them like snakes and scorpions, and don't want to have any contact with them at all.

However, Jia Baoyu faced the difficulties and wanted to marry a former princess?

When the old lady heard the news, she was stunned.She was unwilling to take Miaoyu to the Grand View Garden before, but it was Wang who obeyed Wang Ziteng's order and posted a post to invite him in.

Because she is also a member of the half royal family, the old lady treats her respectfully.

But to say that the old lady likes Miaoyu too much, or welcomes Miaoyu to have a relationship with the Rongguo Mansion?That would be a joke.

Mother Jia wished that Miaoyu would be far away from Rongguo Mansion, just like now, she wished that Miaoyu would be far away from Jia Baoyu.

There are still rumors that Jia Baoyu was born with a jade title, and now he wants to marry a member of the former royal family?What are you thinking?Even if the Lin family doesn't care, don't other people think too much?

The old lady wanted to disassemble Jia Baoyu's brain to see if there was really straw inside.

Lin Liu also wanted to disassemble Jia Baoyu's brain to see what was inside.But considering that in the original book, Jia Baoyu is also regarded as a person who loves first, so I don't think it's strange.

But with Jia Baoyu's temperament, I'm afraid...

Lin Liu shook her head: "As long as the old lady doesn't let go, this marriage will never come true. Why should the Taoist priest worry?"

She blinked, and suddenly thought of something, "Could it be that Miaoyu is a vicious person?"

Can't it?If Miaoyu is really a vigilante, how could the original work have ended like that?

The lame Taoist shook his head: "It's the maid next to Miaoyu. Once Miaoyu really marries Baoyu, that maid will naturally become Baoyu's liaison, so naturally..."

The relationship between Jia Baoyu and Miaoyu has not yet reached the level, and it is not enough to guard her body like a jade for her: even in the original work, Jia Baoyu guards her body like a jade for Daiyu after dozens of times. Inspired by love.

now?

I'm afraid I don't have this chance.

Lin Liu was puzzled: "The old lady will not agree to this marriage."

The lame Taoist took a look at Lin Liu and sighed: "Madame Rongguo agreed, because someone in Zhuangzi saw that the two had a physical relationship. There is no such thing as cloud or rain, but they did some relatively intimate things, and the news leaked out. If it can’t be done, it must be done.”

Lin Liu thought for a while, then tentatively asked, "Did Jing Huan do it?"

The lame Taoist nodded.

The scarlet-headed monk touched his head and sighed: "We have been staring at Baoyu, but we didn't expect that Jing Huan would be so shameless that he would actually burn incense for reminders and love in Baoyu's study. Driven by the incense, the natural instinct is to move towards the other party."

Lin Liu did not expect this result at all: "Then the marriage is settled?
