[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

Whether Wang Xifeng was fooled by Mrs. Wang has nothing to do with Jia Zhu.Even Mrs. Wang's place has little to do with him - don't look at Mrs. Wang as Wang Ziteng's own sister, but if she is married and obeys her husband, even if Wang Ziteng commits a crime, the crime is not as serious as a married daughter, Mrs. Wang will be fine.

Of course, there is a premise, that is, Jia Zheng can accommodate Mrs. Wang.If the second room was still in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng would not be able to tolerate it. Didn't see the incident that Mrs. Wang gave loan sharks last time, the first thing Jia Zheng had to do was to divorce his wife?But now Erfang has moved out of Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Zhu broke Jia Zheng's two tendons.

The most important thing now is to talk about the division of clan with Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Amnesty has no opinion on this, he has always been a gangster, he is the only one who threatens others, how can Jia Zhen use Wang Xifeng to threaten him?He didn't mention branching before, but he didn't expect it. Now that Jia Zhu has reminded him, he doesn't think it's a bad thing.

Jia Lian had some concerns, that is, just after Jia Yuanchun became a nobleman, there was news about the division of the Jia family, whether it would make her life in the palace difficult.As a result, as soon as this worry was uttered, Jia She spit on his face and said, "Just now Zhu'er said that the two families have separated. Is she living well in the palace? Do you need to worry about it?"

Jia Zhu was speechless looking at the sky, that is to say, he had the same interests as Jia She now, otherwise even if he didn't have the slightest affection for Jia Yuanchun, he would give Jia She a break: while counting on others to give you advice, but at the same time talking to others The division is clear and clear, who is doing things?

Jia Zhu, who felt that he could not be so cheap, Jia She, after discussing the serious matter with Jia She, directly sealed the five senses of Jia She and his son, and put all the money that Jia She had hidden in his private house in front of them. In their arms, they let go of their five senses only after the shooting was real.

The father and son knew nothing about what happened, and wanted to discuss the details with Jia Zhu. Jia Zhu had already offered to leave: "Anyway, our family has been separated from the house, and it is inconvenient to participate too much in some matters. I still want to To prepare for the Spring Festival, I will wait at home for the good news from the Grand Master."

Jia Amnesty also knew that what he said just now was a bit insincere, and he was embarrassed to entangle too much. After ordering Jia Lian to see off the guests, he wanted to find some money for Jia Lian to take care of the elders of the clan, but found that all the money in his private house was gone, and his face was gloomy for a while. The weather was uncertain, and he beat the servants serving in the study in turn, but he didn't find out who the thief was.This is something to say, don't mention it.

After Jia Zhu returned to the mansion, she did not stay idle, and asked someone to carry Jia Zheng from the outer study to Mrs. Wang's main courtyard. The reason was very simple, that is, although Mrs. Wang also had a leg problem, it was not painful or itchy, and she should serve her. Jia Zheng is the husband.

Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng had hated each other for a long time, and couldn't understand why the eldest son, who was always considerate, suddenly carried Jia Zheng into his yard.Jia Zhu has long been waiting for her: "Madam, although Aunt Zhao is past her youth, she can't always go outside the second gate. There is also Tanchun, who wants to serve the master. It is good to go out of the second gate and be seen What should I do now?"

A few words made Mrs. Wang feel that Jia Zhu still cared about her. Now Jia's mansion is in charge of the house, and if there are some scandals, it will be her own housewife who will be pointed out.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang cleaned up the inner courtyard very much, and her methods were very cruel.But because of the time spent cleaning up the inner courtyard, he didn't realize that the confidantes he had cultivated in the past two years had disappeared one by one.

When Mrs. Wang wanted to contact Wang Ziteng or Wang Xifeng again, she found that she had no one available in her hands. It was the inner house. Except for the maids who served in the main courtyard, even the little maids and the rough envoys were quietly replaced. Pass.

For a person with a strong desire to control, even if it was his eldest son who did this, Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it.But he had to endure it, because Jia Zhu had already entered the Gongyuan and went to Chunwei.

Lin Ruhai spoke highly of Jia Zhu's studies, but he still didn't dare not go all out.After three rounds, she was also exhausted. After Wu Ming picked him up, Jia Zhu only asked if the house was quiet, and when she got an affirmative answer, she leaned against the carriage and fell asleep.

Mrs. Wang wanted to ask Jia Zhu about the whereabouts of her confidantes, and she didn't dare to disturb his rest at this time—how Jia Zhu separated from Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and others three years ago, Mrs. Wang still vividly remembered, Don't want to repeat the same mistakes.

But when Jia Zhu regained her strength, Mrs. Wang wished she could ask Jia Zhu clearly at that time, how could this be her son, how could she be considerate, and she was clearly here to collect debts from her.

Listen, there is a son who told his mother that it is good to just enjoy the honor in peace, and that men are in charge of foreign affairs, and women do not need to participate too much.

Look, is there a considerate son who will tell his mother that she doesn't have to deal with her natal family anymore, because her natal family has never taken her seriously, nor her children?

Only then did Mrs. Wang know that all of Jia Zhu's filial piety and thoughtfulness were aimed at stabilizing herself so that she would not interfere with his imperial examination.Now he is only one palace test away, and as a mother himself, once he says something bad, others will not criticize Jia Zhu, but will think that he despises his son.

Mrs. Wang, who wanted to understand, looked at Jia Zheng, who couldn't get out of bed, and could only yell at herself, and she was not good at doing things. Suddenly, she and Jia Zheng were in the same disease, and they had to look at Jia Zhu's eyes from now on. , even if it is filial piety, he can't handle him in the slightest.

"Why?" Mrs. Wang would not be willing to die if she didn't ask this question.

Jia Zhu said calmly to Jia Zheng: "The Eldest Master sent someone to deliver a letter. Tomorrow morning, the ancestral hall will be opened to branch off from the Ningguo Mansion. My Master and I will go there."

Mrs. Wang's voice became louder: "I'm asking you something, why are you acting like this?"

Jia Zhu was still very calm, and this time it was Mrs. Wang who was watching: "Madam, do you remember that three years ago, I was waiting to die alone in the small courtyard of Rongguo Mansion?" Now it's your turn.

The matter of the division of Ningrong and Rongfu's two clans still caused a lot of splashes in Beijing, but as Chunwei released the list and the palace examination was approaching, the splashes swirled on the water surface and disappeared without a trace.

Even Jia Zhu, one of the parties involved, only attended the ceremony on the day when the ancestral hall was opened, and then devoted himself to preparing for the palace examination, regardless of how Jia Zheng in the main courtyard cursed Jia She for wanton actions, and no matter which witnesses Madam Wang sent The mother-in-law with open eyes sent letters to the Wang family or Wang Xifeng.

The letter was intercepted by him, and the content inside could be recited by heart, so what is there to read?Throw it directly into the waste paper pile and set it on fire.Nothing is more important than the palace test now.

Jia Zhu Chunwei won No.18, even if he performed well in the palace examination, he would not even dare to think about it, so it is better to pick and choose where he can go to work now.Lin Ruhai's original intention was to let Jia Zhu test the Shu Jishi, but Jia Zhu himself had no such plan—staying in Beijing, there was no other material to collect except some gold, silver or grain.It's better to go to some places that seem barren but rich in minerals, and collect as many materials as possible.

Naturally, Lin Ruhai couldn't tell the reason. Jia Zhu only said that he didn't live well in Beijing, so it's better to go to the local area to do some practical work.Why not happy, Lin Ruhai knew more than himself, so he agreed after thinking about it.

Before the palace examination, news of Qin Keqing's death came from Ningguo Mansion. After hearing this, Jia Zhu asked the housekeeper to send a memorial ceremony, but he still read the book—the two mansions have already separated, and the people of Rongguo Mansion don't have to be like the original book. A junior is in mourning.However, when the clan was divided, there were not many people from the Jia family in the capital who followed the Rongguo Mansion, and most of them chose the Ningguo Mansion of the Dizhi branch, so the ostentation should not be too small.

The housekeeper confirmed Jia Zhu's conjecture after returning to the mansion. Ningguo Mansion still had to do a big job this time. Jia Zhen didn't like the choice of coffin.Even if the person has not yet entered the coffin, the monks and Taoists still recite the scriptures day and night.Four kings and eight princes or people from Wu Xun's family gave sacrifices like a revolving lantern, and there was no room for carriages and horses in Ningrong Street.

Hearing this, Jia Zhu frowned, and before waving his hand to let the housekeeper go out, he told him to restrain the servants in the mansion and not to go out for nothing—even if Qin Keqing was really the illegitimate daughter of the former prince, it would not have stopped the palace examination for her for the sake.After the palace examination, there must be a palace banquet, and for several generations, the four princes have always used the palace banquet to make troubles...

Therefore, even knowing that he has entered two more places in the palace examination, and won the No. 14 Jinshi, Jia Zhu's face has always been flat, which is completely different from the group of Jinshi who suppressed their joy.

In the eyes of the courtiers who have been ups and downs in the officialdom, he is prudent and self-reliant. People who know his identity will praise him as worthy of being from the Duke's Mansion.Even the emperor, after listening to the No. [-] Scholar on behalf of the undergraduate Jinshi, read the memorial of gratitude with eloquence, and casually pointed at Jia Zhu: "Is it a descendant of Rong Guogong?"

Jia Zhu scolded the emperor again in his heart that he was going to put himself on the fire, and he also went out in fear on the face, knelt down and played: "Chen, Jia Zhu, Zu, Rongguo Gong Jia Daishan, father, former member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang Jia Zheng."

The emperor nodded slightly after hearing this: "Jia Daishan was also a person who loved reading back then, and he wanted his children and grandchildren to read more, and he didn't want you to finish the book."

Jia Zhu said that she didn't dare, and that she would continue to work hard.The emperor asked him to get up. Not surprisingly, on the way back to the column, Jia Zhu had already felt a few veiled eyes sizing him up.

Jia Zhu also released his soul power to look at the "humerus of the country" in this hall. The princes are now in charge of the third prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the eighth prince. There is a clear distinction between the two.Jia Amnesty was actually among the generals, but he didn't look energetic, as if he hadn't woken up, and he didn't fit in with the people around him who looked like they had been spayed with chicken blood.Of the six ministries, only officials with rank three or above arrived, and Lin Ruhai was also among them, but his position was a bit late.

Among these people, Jia Zhu didn't know how many people stood in line and how many people waited and watched. His current mind was attracted by Wang Ziteng.It is said that the Jingying Jiedu envoy should be stationed in the camp and should not appear in the palace examination, but Wang Ziteng came and stood in the front position of the general.

Wang Ziteng was in the team of the four princes.

Just thinking about it, Wang Ziteng turned his head and glanced at Jia Zhu. Jia Zhu looked back with a flat face, and then lowered his head.Wang Ziteng's eyes darkened for a moment, and he quickly turned his head away.

His hand clenched into a fist unconsciously, causing Jia Zhu, who had been paying attention all the time, to feel a twitch, making the prince tense.I have just been awarded Jinshi, and I haven't even conferred an official title yet, even if I know that I have a birth share with the Wang family, does Wang Ziteng need to be so nervous?

With this question in mind, Jia Zhu went all the way to the top three to straddle the street, still paying attention to Wang Ziteng.I saw him chatting and joking with ease in Wu Xun, and chatting with people in a low voice from time to time, looking very relaxed.It's just the movement of looking around from time to time, which is a bit incompatible with the ease on the face.

Jia Zhu pursed her lips lightly, everyone is willing to sit up to the eighth position of an extremely powerful minister, but they don't know that the dignitaries don't have to pay at all, just in the process of waiting, not eating or drinking, it is enough People who are generally in poor health may not be able to resist it.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhu had to pay attention to Lin Ruhai. Although his gentleman has been conditioned like an ordinary person, he might not be able to stand for such a long time without eating or drinking.

Fortunately, Lin Ruhai is a resilient person. Although he seldom talks with the people around him, he always listens to people talking with a smile, and nods or shakes his head from time to time. It seems that he has a strong sense of participation.

It seemed that reminding herself was still useful, Jia Zhu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and continued to focus on Wang Ziteng.After a while, a little eunuch came to Wang Ziteng in a hurry, and Jia Zhu hurriedly probed there with his soul power, only to hear the little eunuch leaning over to Wang Ziteng's ear and saying: "The palace banquet is ready, please, my lord." Master Wang must be careful."

The fists behind Wang Ziteng were clenched white, his eyes looked at Wu Xun who had noticed them, and with a perfunctory smile on his face, he said to the little eunuch, "Got it." away from the palace.

Wherever a cow is led, it is a cow. This sentence is applicable to the fourth prince, and it is also applicable to Wang Ziteng - that little eunuch is obviously not the fourth prince's person, after all, the fourth prince has not yet been crowned king.People who are not the fourth prince can come and go freely in the deep palace. Comparing the dialogue between Wang Ziteng and Zhang Youshi, it is not difficult to know that the little eunuch is under the command of Yizhong County King, and Wang Ziteng is stepping on two boats as always.

Jia Zhu sneered inwardly, withdrew her soul power, and silently thought about the palace banquet for a while, whether she would just give the Eighth Prince the throne regardless, or watch the two generations of successors fight each other.

Jia Zhu didn't have much time to think about it. The No. [-] Scholar and Tanhua had already reached the pinnacle of life. The officials of the Ministry of Rituals had already called Jinke Scholars to stand in line, and then followed the courtiers to the Fengtian Palace.

Just after passing through the Qianwu Gate, the people in front stopped unexpectedly, Jia Zhu and the people walking side by side couldn't help but look at each other.The Jinshi who have been led by the Ministry of Rituals to perform ceremonies all know that for the sake of auspiciousness, this route is the route that Jinshi have to take to participate in palace banquets over the years.

There is no need to stop.

In order to make her expression more real for a while, Jia Zhu did not use her soul power to observe what happened this time.After a while, the news came quietly from the front, probably because of standing for too long just now, the second assistant passed out while walking, and now he has been carried away, and the team started moving again.

But the atmosphere suddenly turned from joyful to heavy.

Until everyone sat down in the designated position, the dragon chair was still empty.Jia Zhu is still careful about his nose and mouth, and even saves his soul power - it's been a routine for several lifetimes, which really makes him unable to arouse his curiosity.

Many Jinshi may only have this chance to see the holy face once in their life, even if they pay attention to their demeanor on weekdays, they will glance up from time to time.It's a pity that their seats are too far away from the throne, not to mention that there is no one sitting on the dragon chair, even if the emperor has already sat on it, most Jinshi can't see his nose and eyes clearly.

After waiting for a while, the clean whip sounded three times, and the emperor slowly walked up the imperial steps. The Minister of Rites shouted "Kneel--", everyone got up, kneeled down three times and shouted long live, and heard the Minister of Rites shout again: " rise--"

This is the difference between the Qionglin Banquet and other palace banquets. It is not the eunuch in the palace who sings the ceremony, but the Minister of Rites.Jia Zhu knelt down and stood up with the crowd, and thanked the emperor for the seat according to the instructions of the Minister of Rites, so that everyone was able to sit at the table.

Next came the emperor's toast, to encourage the newly promoted disciples of the emperor, Jia Zhu and others had to kneel down again to thank them, and then sat down again.Jia Zhu really didn't understand why the Jinshi of the same department still looked honored when they knelt and knelt like this. Anyway, he only found it troublesome.

After drinking for three rounds, it was time for the princes to toast the emperor. Jia Zhu was determined and tried to minimize his presence, but found that the fourth prince stood up before the third prince, and thought to himself: Here we come.

The fourth prince did not disappoint Jia Zhu, and what he said could be called treasonous: "Father's merits are far superior to those of our ancestors. He has protected the people of the world for many years. It is really hard work. A son always wants to relieve his father's worries, but he doesn't know what to do. Good. I also invite Father to drink this cup to the full, and give my son a lesson."

The emperor's eyes narrowed, as if recognizing this son for the first time, and it took a long time to look at the third prince who was sitting there silently: "Third son, do you also want my advice?"

After the third prince got up, he didn't dare to say anything, and said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of heaven. Whether the father is willing to teach you is the blessing of the sons and ministers. The sons only hope that the father is in good health and live forever." At this time , Don't forget to put eye drops on the fourth prince.

The fifth prince also stood up: "Third brother's words are justified. Whoever the father wants to teach and not to teach is up to Sacred Heart. How can fourth brother insist on it like this?" After finishing speaking, he was triumphant.

The fourth prince smiled: "Because today's Jinshi of the new department had a banquet in Qionglin, and the emperor got a new student, I was happy to see Lie Xinxi. I wanted to get the guidance of the emperor like these Jinshi. How could it be considered a force? When we were in the study, didn’t the gentlemen also teach us to live and learn.”

Now the emperor also smiled: "What the fourth brother said is right, I should live to the old age and learn the old things. Didn't I learn a trick from the fourth brother today, which is to fight when you fight."

His voice was neither high nor low, but when he heard the courtiers and Xinke Jinshi's ears, it was like thunder, and he knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with what the fourth prince said just now.But the fourth prince himself responded with a smile as if he didn't understand the meaning of the emperor's words:

"Father is right. Not to mention being born in this emperor's family, it is an ordinary family. In order to become the head of the family, you have to go through some calculations." After finishing speaking, he turned and looked at Wang Ziteng during the banquet: "Master Wang, what I'm talking about is the truth, isn't it?"

Wang Ziteng was called by the fourth prince and had to stand up. After saluting to the emperor and the fourth prince, he didn't say a word.Jia Zhu wondered, this Prince Teng belonged to the fourth prince, why did the fourth prince talk about him?Even if Wang Ziteng surpassed Wang Zisheng to become the patriarch of the Wang family, he shouldn't mention it at this time, right?

The emperor laughed aloud after hearing this, "You are well informed." Then he put away the smile on his face: "Come here, take this traitor down for me."

The fourth prince drank the wine in his glass, and smashed the cup to the ground: "Father, this is not pleasing to the eyes of my son and minister. I want to deal with my son and minister like the eldest brother and the former prince? Yes, left and right father!" If you have many sons, even if you dispose of them, you won't be doing Huangtai melon speech."

The emperor only looked at the fourth prince coldly, waiting for the Imperial Forest Army to listen to his order and arrest him.Unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, the Imperial Forest Army remained motionless, and none of them stepped forward to capture the Fourth Prince.

"Why, can't you hear my will?" The emperor looked fiercely at the Imperial Forest Army standing outside Fengtian Hall: "Hurry up and come in and drag this traitor down."

There was the sound of orderly footsteps outside the hall, and there was also the sound of armor. The fourth prince smiled at the emperor: "I have said just now that I don't know how to relieve my father's worries. Now my father can't even command the Imperial Forest Army. How about This servant will get rid of these disobedient servants on behalf of my father."

After finishing speaking, he raised his voice to the outside of the hall: "The imperial forest army guarding the hall disrespects the emperor's order, so take them down quickly."

Then some soldiers dressed in Beijing battalion stepped forward, dragged away all the imperial guards guarding the temple, and took their place by themselves.The emperor had already seen the clothes of the visitor, and looked at Wang Ziteng in disbelief: "Wang Ziteng, you—"

Wang Ziteng saluted the emperor again, and then said: "I am acting according to the emperor's order."

"Okay, okay, what a good one to act on the emperor's orders, which one is the emperor in your eyes, I'm not dead yet." The emperor said angrily, and after he didn't want to finish speaking, the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood.

Seeing the emperor leaning over, the third prince wanted to go forward to help him, but was kicked away by the fourth prince: "Third brother, you don't have to argue with your younger brother for being so courteous." The third prince on the ground walked towards the throne step by step.

Dai Quan stood in front of the emperor and said loudly to the fourth prince: "Please think again, fourth prince."

Seeing that the throne was right in front of his eyes, the fourth prince, not to mention a eunuch, even his own mother couldn't stop him, pushed Dai Quan away, and went to help the emperor by himself, saying: "This palace banquet is not Is the fifth brother in charge, who dared to poison the emperor, come, come and take the fifth prince down quickly."
