Just as Daiyu and Shen Yan set off here, Jia Lian hurriedly wrote to the capital.By the way, Jia Lian is also really guilty, having fun all day here in Yangzhou, he has long forgotten the explanations of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.Even Daiyu and Shen Yan were the last to know that they were going back to Beijing.After Daiyu had packed her luggage and was about to leave, Jia Lian realized that she had to pack up quickly.He left in a hurry, and when he arrived, he remembered that he hadn't written a letter to the mansion, so he hurriedly wrote another letter.The letter was sent late, I'm afraid they will arrive in the capital in a few days when Mother Jia receives the letter.

Here in the capital, no one disturbed, and Xing Shuang's life was extremely leisurely.On the second day after she came back, Aunt Lian tactfully handed back the keys and ledger to Xing Shuang, and she didn't give birth to any other thoughts because she had been in charge of the big house for nearly a year.

This is the cleverness of Aunt Lian.With a son by her side, the mistress of the big house is not intolerant, and she is also given ample money every month, clothes and jewelry for the four seasons, and red envelopes for the New Year's Eve.As long as she doesn't try to die, the days to come will be fine!Why are you tossing around with shallow eyelids?

Fortunately, Xing Shuang was not there before, and the affairs of the big house were handed over to Aunt Lian Dali. Ji Xiang saw that Aunt Lian's position in the big house had increased visibly with the naked eye, and her momentum became more and more powerful.Jixiang complained about Xing Shuang in his heart, and even secretly worried about Xing Shuang, for fear that Aunt Lian would grow up.I told Xing Shuang several times that it would be better to hand it over to Dali, Lian's second grandmother.Xing Shuang just smiled and said nothing every time, just let her look down.Now, seeing that Aunt Lian is so knowledgeable, Jixiang is really convinced, and he no longer shows embarrassment to Aunt Lian.

In addition, if there is anything worth mentioning, it is the good news from Xing Xue.It turns out that this year is the time for the triennial exam again. After another three years of study, accumulation, and precipitation, Xing Xue's husband-in-law Jiang Yan finally made it to the list when the apricot list was released in mid-April.Nearly 400 of them passed the palace examination, and were awarded the top three, that is, the same Jinshi.

Jiang Yan was lucky enough to get into the top three. Although the top three rank is not very pleasant and many people look down on him, he passed the exam anyway.This is really rare for Jiang Yan, a student with an ordinary background and an obscure family background.If you pass the top three exams, don't think that you can be idle, there are still exams to come.

Needless to say, the future of the top three in the first class, the Hanlin Academy's compilation and editing were all decided long ago.The treatment of the second and third class is naturally much worse than that of the first class.These people have to go through the court exam again, and arrange their future according to their exam results.If you have good grades, good performance, and happen to have a good family background or will come to trouble, then you still have the opportunity to enter the Imperial Academy as a scholar.But don't look down on Shu Jishi, the place where the top three stay in the first class, you know that this should be a very promising place.The rest of the people also distributed to the six ministries and all over the country as county magistrates according to these standards.

Naturally, Jiang Yan also took the exam.Only this time his luck seemed very ordinary.The results are also relatively low. Seeing that most of the people have a place to go, only a few people are still waiting for distribution, and Jiang Yan is one of them.Speaking of it, it is obviously impossible to stay in the Hanlin Academy as a scholar based on Jiang Yan's achievements, but it is more than enough to be a seventh-rank county magistrate only according to the assignment.However, Jiang Yan's allocation has not come down for a long time.

how so?It is also some inside story about the imperial court's deployment of official positions.Every year, there is a set of operable procedures for the deployment of officials in the capital.For example, people with excellent grades or good family background in the top three must not dare to tamper with, especially in the past few years, the current emperor has been very strict about the deployment of officials.Those like Jiang Yan, who are not particularly outstanding in themselves, have no family background, and have no vision and will not come to trouble, naturally have to wait slowly.

The Elder Master knew the news that Jiang Yan would pass the exam earlier than Xing Shuang.After all, everything about Jiangyan's college was arranged by the elder.Now that a person has passed the exam, no matter what, he has to report a letter to the elder!Knowing that Jiang Yan passed the exam, the elder was very happy.There is a sense of satisfaction that seems to be that I have cultivated others with my own hands.I thought that although I didn't take the imperial examination, I was able to train a Jinshi, which shows that I am still very good.The old man is very proud!

When the elder heard that Jiang Yan had been embarrassed and that the entry paperwork was delayed, the elder became angry.Not to mention that the two of them are brother-in-law, and the elder feels that Jiangyan's Jinshi has his share of credit, and feels uncomfortable that his efforts have caused people to pour cold water on them and set up obstacles.It’s just that the conversation between the two of them as scumbags at the beginning also made the old man read a part of the relationship. Although it was a relationship between “students and scumbags”, it was also a relationship. .Don't take the complaints between the scumbags as inappropriate, you must know that the chat with Jiang Yan at the beginning comforted the old man for a while!

Then, the elder naturally intervened.Although the first-class general of the great lord is a vain job, he can't bear the name of Rongguo Mansion to support him, and besides, who is not a good official?The old saint's health has been getting worse recently, and it seems that this time it is really not going to work. It is well known that the officials run to the old saint's palace every day.There is also a gossip that I heard that recently Jia Nvshi seems to have won the saint's own eyes and is about to rise.

Although it is unavoidable that the emperor wants to appease the Supreme Emperor, no matter whether it is the real luck of the lady Jia who is here or there are other considerations today, it is very possible that the Jia family will have a good time in the future.Furthermore, according to the principle that he would rather offend a gentleman than a villain, although the Elder Master is not a villain, he is notoriously a bastard, and he is afraid of him!Hurry up and let go, and promise to the elder that it will be arranged immediately.Seeing that this man is so talkative, the Eldest Man couldn't help but push forward again, he insisted on sending Jiang Yan to a well-developed place.

That person regrets so much now.When I first checked Jiang Yan's background, I naturally found out that Jiang Yan was Jia She's brother-in-law. He only thought about the rumors in the capital that the Grand Master's first wife, Mrs. Xing, was not favored, so he didn't take Jiang Yan to heart.Now I regret it, it really is a rumor!I just wanted to get rid of the Elder Master as soon as possible, but also thought that the Elder Master’s hometown is Jinling, and it happens that there is still a lack of a county magistrate in Jinling Lize, and he originally planned to leave it for a young son of the Guanglu Temple Minister Li. Yes, now it's more important to get rid of Jia Amnesty first.He hastily agreed and promised a place, and this is how he sent the old man away contentedly.

The Elder Master is not someone who does good deeds silently and does not leave a name. The first thing he did after he got the promise and returned home was to go to Xing Shuang to ask for credit.Xing Shuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but now the Elder Master is getting more and more accommodating.Seeing that the elder was begging for praise unexpectedly, Xing Shuang thought about it and waved to the elder.The old man didn't know what he was thinking, so he ran over joyfully, and put his face in front of Xing Shuang.Then, Xing Shuang raised her hand and rubbed the old man's head vigorously, and praised the old man severely.

The smile on the face of the elder who was full of anticipation gradually froze, and it took a long time to look at Xing Shuang sadly, looking aggrieved.Looking at Xing Shuang until goosebumps arose, then he couldn't hold back and rubbed the old man's hair vigorously again.Kneaded into a mess.

Grandpa: ...

Let's talk about Jiang's family, Jiang Yan's transfer order has not come down for a long time, and the whole family is anxious.Knowing that Xing Shuang had returned to Beijing, Jiang's mother hinted Xing Xue to ask Xing Shuang for help several times.It was Jiang's father, although he didn't speak, but it was obviously the meaning of letting Jiang's mother speak or not.To be honest, Xing Xue herself is also anxious, but her eldest sister has helped her a lot, and she has nothing to repay so far, so how can she have the face to ask for help over and over again?

Jiang Yan didn't want to embarrass his wife or criticize his mother, so he lied in private that it was not easy to go to the Duke's mansion often, but in private Xing Xue had already written a letter.This is how to appease Mother Jiang.Unexpectedly, the transfer order really came down within two days, and it was still in a wealthy place like Jinling.The whole family is happy.Especially Jiang's mother became more and more kind to Xing Xue, thinking that this daughter-in-law did not marry for nothing.I even went back to my mother's house to show off.

It was this showing off that almost went wrong.Jiang's mother's family conditions are not bad, so she also trained Jiang's eldest nephew to study.Her eldest nephew, who was eight years older than Jiang Yan, was admitted to Juren and taught in the county.Originally, her natal family was also quite satisfied. After all, how many rural people can win the exam?Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan was admitted to Jinshi and was about to become an official soon.

Mother Jiang's show off this time opened up a new world for them. Knowing that Jiang Yan's daughter-in-law contributed to it, how could they not be tempted?While discussing things based on their relatives, they praised Jiang's mother high, saying that she would definitely be able to pull out her nephew.In the end, it turned out that if she didn't help her nephew, she deliberately didn't think of love, and Jiang's mother was so high that she couldn't get off.

Jiang's mother had no choice but thought that she could help her nephew, but she actually went back to find Xing Xue.Her natal sister-in-law was afraid that Xing Xue would not contribute, and taught her to use Jiang Yan as an official and a status to take a concubine as a threat.Xing Xue was so angry that she cried. It turned out that she had noticed that Jiang Mu's ears were a little soft and had been on guard for a long time. Who knew that Jiang Mu could still produce moths?

Xing Xue immediately refused, and finally threatened secretly, saying that her natal nephew was just a candidate and hadn't been admitted to a Jinshi to become an official, and basically he would never get a chance in this life.If this kind of thing helped people know and was reported, and Jiang Yan was found out, Jiang Yan's life's future would be over, so Jiang's mother gave up.Comparing sons with nephews, it is natural that sons are more important!It's just that this time it is inevitable that he will lose face in front of his brother and sister-in-law, and he will be a little angry with Xing Xue.

When Jiang Yan and his son came back and heard about this, Jiang's mother was scolded by Jiang's father at that time.In Jiang's father's eyes, his son's future is very important, and Jiang's mother is not clear about forcing his daughter-in-law to use her relationship to do activities for her nephew, without seeing where her nephew's fame is worthy of?Jiang's mother was forced by Jiang's father to apologize to Xing Xue again, which finally settled the matter.As for the words of taking concubines, how dare you mention it again?

Within a few days, Xing Xue came to Rongguo Mansion again, this time to thank Xing Shuang on a special trip.When Jiang Yan's employment papers came out that day, he implied that Jiang Yan was contributed by his brother-in-law and elder brother-in-law.When Jiang Yan came back, he told his wife, and Xing Xue knew about it.Feeling grateful and guilty at the same time, it happened that she came to talk to Xing Shuang after making her mother-in-law sick a few days ago.She didn't go back until after dinner, but Jiang's mother was flustered when she saw that Xing Xue hadn't returned it for a long time.Waiting for Xing Xue with a hungry stomach, she didn't feel at ease to eat until Xing Xue came back.

On the side of Rongguo Mansion, the Shen family from a scholarly family actually sent someone to bring gifts.One must know that people like the Shen family are usually very noble, and they are used to not being used to the nouveau riche like the Rongguo Mansion, whose masters and servants all wear gold and silver. How can there be any social relations?Isn't it called Jamnahan who sent a gift to the door so suddenly?Mother Jia's head felt like it hurt, and she didn't want to understand what was going on.

Within two days, I received a letter from Jia Lian saying that he was already on his way back, and that he should arrive in a few days.When Mother Jia wrote the letter to go to Yangzhou, she didn't have much confidence in her heart.Even though she threatened to go to Yangzhou to pick up someone in person, how could she really leave the big business in the capital and go to Yangzhou?

Obviously, this is impossible, what Mother Jia said was nothing more than threats.It was also to express to Lin Ruhai her determination to bring Daiyu back.Now that Daiyu really came back, Mother Jia felt a little complacent for a while, thinking that Lin Ruhai was kind enough to let Daiyu come back, so it can be seen that she still takes her mother-in-law seriously.

If Lin Ruhai gives face so much, she has to go on the road, right?Mother Jia called Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang to discuss setting up a separate yard for Daiyu, and then tidy it up with great fanfare, expressing the welcome and attention of the mansion to Daiyu who is coming back soon.It's also to show Daiyu's face!

But Mrs. Wang listened to Jia Mu's suggestion and didn't agree with it at all.Her opinion on Daiyu has gone all over the place, how can she see Daiyu well.I just think that it is enough for me to allow Lin girl to come over, and I want to make a good arrangement to show Daiyu's face, so she is worthy?

Although Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied, she was used to Sister Feng taking the lead, so she gave Sister Feng a wink without opening her mouth.Waiting for Sister Feng to speak, and then she will add a few words from it.

Sister Feng didn't care about this, she had no interest in Daiyu, good or bad, and she didn't care much about Daiyu in the past because of Madam Wang's attitude.Now, she understands, since Mrs. Wang doesn't treat her as her own, why should she rush to offend others?

Therefore, Sister Feng just pretended not to see Mrs. Wang's wink, and sat upright and looked at Jia's mother: "Who doesn't know that sister Lin is the old lady's heart, it doesn't look like I don't care about anyone, just be casual." If the matter of sister Lin is not done well, the old lady will feel sorry for me, and I will suffer. So, this matter is all under the orders of the old lady and the wife, and I will just be the errand supervisor!" Sister Feng sang Those who want to fight will push the responsibility away, and only do what the supervisor arranges, not those who are in the early stage.

Madam Wang glanced at Sister Feng from the corner of her eyes, and said in her heart: "Young girl Feng doesn't know what's going on these days, she's acting more and more against her own wishes, and she's becoming more and more alienated from herself." Madam Wang doesn't know what happened It's wrong, she doesn't know her attitude towards Miss Lin, didn't she cooperate well in the past?Now, what happened?

Mrs. Wang frowned, looked at Sister Feng again, and said nothing.Then, after organizing his words, Fang turned his head and said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, I don't think Feng girl is deliberately shirking, it's because she can't arrange it! The whole house is only this big. The old lady is here. The old man and I leaned on the old lady, the old man and his sister-in-law stayed together, and Lixiangyuan asked my sister's family to live in it. Although our family is big and prosperous, there are several hundred people in our house, and there are several places here. The place is too big for Miss Lin to live in, but it looks empty and deserted, and it will be bad for her to be left alone. The place is too small, and she has been wronged. Why don't we let her continue to live with the sister-in-law? Sister-in-law, take care of the old lady and feel at ease!"

Jia Mu said in her heart that it is because of her that I am not at ease!Then I thought about asking Daiyu to move out. Xingshuang's attitude towards Baoyu was not blind, deaf, unable to see or hear, and asked Daiyu to live with Xingshuang. How could she match the two jades?

Seeing that Mother Jia looked a little unhappy and wanted to speak, Mrs. Wang continued, "Although the place over there is a bit out of the way for my sister-in-law, at least the place is very spacious. Besides, on weekdays, I think that Miss Lin is very kind to my sister-in-law." I'm afraid this child lost his mother a long time ago and regarded his sister-in-law as his mother! Old lady, let's not do bad things with good intentions, but become that villain instead, tearing apart the relationship between mother and daughter?

It's best to stay with my sister-in-law every day, and don't even come here for daily greetings!Anyway, the sister-in-law doesn't like Baoyu, and she doesn't want to ask Baoyu to come over, so that Baoyu won't make her want to study hard!

Mrs. Wang's words were especially sharp, directly hitting Jia Mu's heart.

"She, the Xing family, deserves to be compared with my own Min'er?" Mother Jia was immediately annoyed when she heard Mrs. Wang's words.Recalling that Mrs. Wang said that Daiyu and Xing Shuang had a close relationship, she was not saying that Daiyu was close to Xing Shuang who was separated by blood, but that she had a biological relationship with her grandmother.Thinking back to Daiyu's tough attitude and moving away from her earlier, not hesitating to save her own face, how could Mother Jia have the heart to show off for Daiyu?It's not enough to feel bad, Mother Jia waved her hand and didn't mention this mess anymore.He didn't even mention that he planned to save Daiyu's face.

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Mu's dark face, she was happy, but she tried to hide it.When Sister Feng saw this eyebrow-eye lawsuit, she also had a lot of thoughts in her heart.Sure enough, my aunt has a lot of tricks, thanks to the fact that I usually still think of myself as a great person, so I became the rafter in the early days, so how many people have I offended for nothing?

Auntie only had a few words to spare, so she gave the old lady a break, and she still had something to learn!I used to seem to be hindering my aunt's performance?Sister Feng didn't know what was going on with her now, she always subconsciously thought of her aunt in a malicious way, but that was how she felt in her heart.

In the past, Sister Feng felt that Xing Shuang's attitude of ignoring everything was extremely stupid, and she despised it at the top.I don't think so now.Now she thinks that Xing Shuang is a rare smart person, and it is good to live her life quietly and ignore everything except protecting the two or three people she cares about.Sister Feng can't ignore things like Xing Shuang, firstly, she can't bear to be the housekeeper, and secondly, the old lady and Mrs. Wang can't let her relax.But she made up her mind not to get involved in the fights and quarrels between Mrs. Wang and other people in the mansion.

This time it was the same, Sister Feng was withdrawn after hearing that Daiyu's original benefits were withdrawn after a few clicks. Sister Feng just stood by and watched.Anyway, I have nothing to do with Sister Lin, whether it's good or bad, let them go.So Sister Feng looked at the matter with cold eyes and settled down like this, and she thought to herself: "I'm afraid that sister Lin will not be treated as well as the first time when she comes again this time?"
