The Young Master of the Jia Family in the Red Chamber

From the nobles and nobles to the nobles, down to the common people, traffickers and pawns, the second year of Yonghe was a year of celebration and peace.

This year is the year of spring, and at the beginning of February, the triennial examination begins.This year's candidates are also lucky. Just after the first month, the temperature is rising slowly. When it's time for the exam, there is already a bit of warmth.Unlike the 28th year of Yuanchang, when the cold weather was particularly severe, many candidates were carried out of the examination room before they even finished the exam.Jia Zhen took part in the examination that year. To use his words to describe it, her hands were so cold that she couldn't hold a pen steadily, so she didn't have the time to think about other things. The result was also obvious.

After studying hard behind closed doors for three years, Jia Zhen played again. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang were very nervous and often came to talk to Mrs. Zhang.When their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law come over, they will naturally bring Jia Rong. The little guy is five years old and has just started enlightenment. He is the most innocent and lovely age.Mrs. Li saw that Mrs. Zhang was holding Jia Rong and was reluctant to let go, so she asked her with a smile, if there is a daughter-in-law for Jia Hu, if you meet a suitable one, you should hurry up and propose a marriage, counting from now until the daughter-in-law comes in It will take two or three years, so we should hurry up.

Mrs. Zhang sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, my sister-in-law, I have had my eyes on two girls years ago, and I haven't asked anyone yet. Who knows that when I entered the palace last month to greet you, the empress dowager revealed her intentions, Let us not worry about Brother Hu’s marriage. The saint may have arrangements, so I dare not ask, so I have to wait. In my opinion, there will be the marriage of the Prince of England in the first half of the year, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the second half of the year. The big wedding, the sage arranged it deliberately, I'm afraid I won't think about it until the end of the year, but fortunately Brother Hu is not very old, so we can wait."

Hearing that Situ Yan personally intervened in Jia Hu's marriage, Mrs. Li called Amitabha repeatedly, and then said with a smile: "It's brother Hu's good fortune to be so favored by a saint." Xiao Zhang also laughed and said, "Brother Hu is really a god." Good luck, maybe I can marry a princess and go home."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head slightly, and sighed softly: "It is an honor for a saint to bestow a marriage in person, but if you marry a princess, it may not be..."

Since the founding of the Great Xia, there have been two modes of marriage bestowed by the emperor. One is that the two families are important ministers in the court. After the two parties have negotiated the marriage, they go to ask for an order. They only ask for honor. The other is that the princess and princess descended. , this does not require the consent of the courtiers, the emperor can directly refer to the marriage.

If it refers to a county princess, that's fine, but the daughter-in-law has a higher status, and there is nothing else. What Zhang is most afraid of is that the sage will point Jia Hu to a princess, and the son-in-law will not be allowed to discuss politics. , Princess Jia Hushang was really at a loss as stipulated by the Emperor Zu.

Seeing Zhang's worried face, Xiao Zhang hurriedly comforted: "Auntie, don't worry too much. Since the sage values ​​Brother Hu, he probably won't ruin his future. How can we figure out his old man's thoughts, Auntie Just wait for the arrangement of the saint with peace of mind."

Mrs. Zhang thought about it, and the Queen Mother said in person that the sage would take care of Hu'er's marriage, no matter how worried they were, it would be useless, they might as well think in a better direction.Situ Yan has no daughters. Although he has a few younger sisters, the Supreme Emperor is still alive, and he should be in charge of the marriages of the eldest princesses. However, in the family of the two older princes, there are several county heads who are suitable for marriage. It is not for them to ask who the saints really want.

Situ Jing was also very concerned about what Zhang was worried about. He didn't want Jia Hu to turn around and become his little uncle. The cousin made a promise to Jia Hu.

Knowing Situ Jing's intentions, Situ Yan still teased him: "What? Jing'er is worried that Jia Hu's seniority will surpass you?"

Situ Jing was speechless, silent for a long time before saying: "The son-in-law is not allowed to discuss politics, it would be a pity if Jia Hu is the Lord."

Situ Yan saw that his expression was serious and had no other intentions, so Fang smiled lightly and said, "You don't want to miss Jia Hu, so how can I, your little aunts, since your imperial grandfather is worried about their marriage, I won't intervene, But the eldest sister of your third uncle's family is pretty good."

"The eldest sister of the third uncle's family?" Situ Jing Ning frowned, sketching a graceful and delicate image in his mind, and asked, "But the one whose nickname is Ke'er?" The eldest daughter is four years younger than Situ Jing, and they played together when they were young.

Situ Yan smiled slightly and said, "It's her, what does Jing Er think? Does it match well?" If he hadn't discovered Situ Jing's affection for Jia Hu by accident, Situ Yan would not care about Jia Hu no matter how much he valued him. Marriage, but now, can't be ignored.

Situ Jing bowed his head sadly, and muttered: "Father, the emperor said in a golden voice, the marriage you fancy is naturally created by heaven and earth, and a good couple is made by nature."

Besides Jia Zhen, Jia Hu also paid attention to another person in this year's test, and that was Su Yi.He had discussed it with Han Qi in private, if Su Yi could take the first place in the exam, the miracle of winning six yuan in a row for the first time in this dynasty would be born on him, and I was a little excited just thinking about it.

On the day of the test, the weather was beautiful and the sky was clear. Jia Hu told Situ Jing that it was God who wanted to make Su Yi perfect and give him such a comfortable test. That small body definitely couldn't last until the end of the exam.

However, Situ Jing said that the weather in February was colder after all, which was not conducive to the performance of the scholars. He wanted to persuade Situ Yan to postpone the exam time to March from the next Spring Festival, so that no one would be able to do it again. Don't worry about encountering a cold spring.

Jia Hu froze for a moment, and immediately felt the difference between himself and Situ Jing. What he thought was "I will come to the mountain", but Situ Jing thought "I will go to the mountain", the difference is clear at a glance.Afterwards, he thanked Situ Jing in a regular manner, which baffled him.

Seeing that Situ Jing didn't understand what he meant, Jia Hu had no choice but to explain: "If Your Highness can persuade the saint, I will be the first batch of beneficiaries." Yes, I will take the exam in three years.

Situ Jing came back to his senses and joked: "It doesn't matter whether the exam is in February or March, as long as you don't come second all the way."

What's wrong with the second place, it's not something you can take if you want to take the test, Jia Hu slandered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out.

The results of the examination were released, and Su Yi was expected to be in the high school Huiyuan. For a while, the threshold of the Su family was almost broken.Congratulators, marriage proposals, and so on, forcing the old lady Su to close the door to thank guests, Su Yi is preparing for the palace examination, Su Yue is preparing for marriage, who has time to chat with others.

At this time, no one would doubt that Su Yi would not be the champion. As long as he did not make low-level mistakes during the palace examination, Situ Yan would choose him as the champion even for the unparalleled reputation of Lianzhong Liuyuan. But it's an old story.

The No. [-] Scholar Lang is already eye-catching in itself. He is also the grandnephew of the Empress Dowager Su's natal family, and the future uncle of the country. Yi is not engaged yet.

Combining the above conditions together, there will be more people who want Su Yi to be their son-in-law. Those who are not qualified can only think about it, and those who are qualified start looking for relationships. The intimacy was sought by several family members.

That's all, let's just dismiss it casually, don't mention her, it is Mrs. Su, who is also a married daughter, and can't control the marriage of her nephew. Although Su Yi's grandfather and father died young, there is still an uncle. In China, marriage is decided by someone.

Unexpectedly, Shi Taijun also moved his mind and asked Mrs. Zhang to help him ask if Yuan Chun was suitable. Mrs. Zhang was so frightened that she almost couldn't speak.

Not to mention Yuanchun, even if Mrs. Zhang has a daughter of the right age, she will not rush to ask at this time. The chances of being rejected may be too high. After all, it is well known that the sage loves Su Yi. Maybe he wants to It's better to be more reserved when personally pointing out the marriage.

Fortunately, that's what Shi Taijun said, so it's okay for Zhang to try to evade it, and he didn't keep asking.However, because of this, Mrs. Zhang also realized a problem, that is, Mrs. Wang had been grounded all the time, and it would be her responsibility to find Yuan Chun's husband's family in the future. It was really troublesome.

Entering March, the palace examination began. This was Situ Yan's first spring after he ascended the throne, and Su Yi's possibility of winning six yuan was placed there, which was particularly eye-catching.Many people are guessing that Su Yi will become the champion without any dispute, but Situ Yan is more nervous than anyone else.

For Situ Yan, it was not difficult to choose Su Yi as the number one scholar, but if Su Yi's answer sheet could not clearly overwhelm everyone in the Golden Palace, Situ Yan would never give him this honor.Su Yi is not an ordinary student, he was almost taught by Situ Yan himself, and the misnamed "six yuan in a row" is of no benefit to him, only if he deserves his name, it will be a real story through the ages, he hopes he can do it arrive.

This year's palace examination is not difficult. There is only one question, which is about maritime trade. Most people bet on the question to this range, so the writing is very smooth. There is still one third of the prescribed answer time, and half of the people hand it in. Volume, the other half is still writing hard.

Su Yi was the first to hand in the paper. He seemed very confident. After handing in the paper, he smiled at Situ Jing with a relaxed smile.

Seeing Su Yi's answer sheet, Situ Yan's heart stopped in mid-air and fell back to the original place. No one deserves the title of number one scholar more than him.

Jia Hu was close to the water, and soon after the end of the palace examination, he saw a copy of the top three answer sheets. After reading it, he was convinced, especially Su Yi, whose novel viewpoints made him admire.He knew very well that if he hadn't been familiar with the history of the next 300 years, he would never have had Su Yi's vision and insight. It turned out that there are such creatures as geniuses in this world, and he was completely convinced.

After the palace examination was over, Situ Jing asked Situ Yan if he would marry Su Yi.Situ Yan said that he left the decision to Su Yi, just tell him which girl he likes, and he will marry her.Situ Jing was stunned for a moment. If you want to be so biased, who is the real one?

Situ Jing was just yelling for fun, but he didn't really take it to heart. No one in the Su family was an official, and Su Yi was extremely talented. His marriage was more free, so it didn't matter.He is the prince, how can he marry a wife casually, let alone the one he likes the most, there is no possibility of marrying into the palace at all.

After being busy with the spring festival held every three years, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were busy with Situ Lv's marriage without even a chance to catch their breath.

After years of hard work, Jia Jing was finally promoted to the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites last year. As a result, things kept going on when he took office. The wedding of the Prince of England was still a rehearsal. The big wedding of the prince in August was the real highlight. Die alive.

Fortunately, this year's general examination, Jia Zhen finally passed. Although her ranking was very dangerous, she was also qualified for the imperial examination.Even better, just when Jia Jing was mentally prepared that his son could only be a fellow Jinshi, Jia Zhen performed super-level and squeezed into the ranks of the second-class.

Hearing this good news, Jia Jing was so happy that he almost went crazy. The father and son are both Scholars. Their family can finally be called a scholarly family, and he can be regarded as worthy of his ancestors.At the same time, it was found that Mrs. Zhang was two months pregnant, which brought a good fortune to the Ning'an Hou Mansion.

There are so many happy events at home, Jia Jing is very busy, but he is also full of energy, without the negative mentality of avoiding the world at the beginning.Thinking of this, Jia Jing's gratitude to Jia Hu is really indescribable, without his persuasion, their family would never be where they are today.

Prince Ying's mansion was bustling with wedding events, because the British concubine Shi Shi, who had never been in the family, was the eldest granddaughter of Shan Guogong's mansion, and the Ningrong Second Mansion, as family friends of the Shi family, naturally had to come to congratulate them. Shi Taijun, Li Shi, and Zhang Shi They also added makeup to the eldest girl of the Shi family.

Within two days, the Wang family, who had been grounded for a long time, mobilized. Although Shi Taijun was dissatisfied with her, he cared about his grandson very much.Although Wang is not the first child, it has been so many years, not to mention her age, she did not exercise enough during pregnancy, but the fetus is not small, and she struggled for a day and a night before giving birth to a fat boy at noon on April 26.What's amazing is that this newborn milk baby actually has a piece of crystal clear jade in its mouth.

When Jia Hu heard the news, he was struck by lightning, and he was dumbfounded.Born with jade in his mouth, the allusion he had heard before was Jia Baoyu. Although he had never read Dream of the Red Chamber, one of the four famous novels, he had heard the name.

Jia Hu knows very little about the Dream of the Red Chamber, what he knows is the love tragedy of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, and the process of the four big families from prosperity to decline.Leaving aside the tragedy of love, he is not the protagonist after all, and his love is already tragic.

But thinking about the matter of prosperity and decline, Jia Hu is very upset. Why, he has worked so hard for so many years, so it can't be such a tragedy.

Jia Hu didn't know which four big families included, but Jia Baoyu's surname was Jia, and their Jia family would definitely not escape. Jia Hu regretted it so much, why didn't he read Dream of the Red Chamber, novels and TV dramas? I haven't watched it, so I don't know how the plot goes.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang had given birth to a son, Shi Taijun was very happy, and immediately asked the nanny to take him away and carried him to his own room, intending to raise him himself.Seeing this situation, Yuan Chun sympathized with his mother, but also felt that it was a good thing for his younger brother.

The next day, Mrs. Wang woke up, thinking that she would be able to lift the confinement after giving birth to a son, but the reply was that the son was taken up by the old lady.

Mrs. Wang panicked immediately, and things were going differently than she thought, but instead of crying uncontrollably, she clenched her hands tightly, and her fingertips pierced deeply into her palms.She is not reconciled, not reconciled to her son and daughter being snatched away, not reconciled to being confined like this for the rest of her life, she wants revenge.

On the day of Xisan, Shi Taijun gave Xinde's little grandson a nickname, which was the one Jia Hu disliked the most, Jia Baoyu.

Looking at the innocent baby, Jia Hu's heart was turbulent.In the past few days, he has been thinking about a serious problem, that is, how to change the tragic fate of himself and his family without knowing it.Jia Hu didn't even know if the plot of the Red Mansion had officially started, but since it was a tragedy of love, Jia Baoyu must at least grow up to be able to fall in love. He felt that he still had enough time.
