The Son-in-law of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

In the spring of Chengrui's 12th year, the triennial examination ended, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when the results were released.

Qin Chuan's cousin, Jia Baoyu, who has the reputation of "juren", also went to Beijing to participate in this test. Jia Yue and Jia Baoyu knew each other well, so on the day when the list was announced, Jia Yue also sent someone to look at the list.

Then, Jia Yue got the good news that Jia Baoyu passed the exam.

If the township examination and general examination are knockout competitions, then the palace examination is a qualifying competition. As long as they take part in the palace examination, Gongshi can become Jinshi.

Jia Baoyu is 17 years old this year, and a 17-year-old Jinshi is definitely "young and promising".

Also, Jia Baoyu's face is very upright, which is very in line with the definition of "beautiful man" in this era. Such a good man with both talent and appearance, naturally someone wants to recruit him as a son-in-law.

Among them, there is the Xue family, Xue Baochai, the eldest daughter of the Xue family, who is 19 years old this year...

Jia Baoyu once told Jia Yue that their family is of the same clan as the Ningrong Second House, but because of the prosperity of the Ningrong Second House, Jia Baoyu didn't want to have anything to do with the Ningrong Second House.

In the exam three years ago, Jia Baoyu went to Beijing to rush for the exam, but he did not visit Rongguo Mansion, and Rongguo Mansion did not pay attention to Jia Baoyu, a small person like Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu will be specially invited.

Now, Jia Baoyu has passed the tribute examination and is about to become a Jinshi. He is only 17 years old. I passed the Gongshi exam, and I liked it before I met.

Jia Zheng sent someone to invite Jia Baoyu. When Jia Baoyu received the post, he was taken aback for a while, and then took the post to find his cousin Qin Chuan.

Jia Baoyu's family is poor, and he lives with his widowed mother. If it weren't for the support of his cousin Qin Chuan, Jia Baoyu might have dropped out of school early, and he would never have achieved today's achievements.

Also, Qin Chuan had been studying hard in Jinling, his ancestral home, before he was named on the gold list. Qin Chuan liked Jia Baoyu's talented cousin very much. He not only sponsored Jia Baoyu to study, but also often taught Jia Baoyu the principles of life.

Under Qin Chuan's guidance, Jia Baoyu not only read very well, but also formed a correct three views.

The Ningrong Second Mansion is prominent and prosperous. Although few people are officials in the court, they are very influential on the government.

Scholars from humble backgrounds, in order to have a smoother official career, most of them will cling to dignitaries like the Ningrong Second Mansion.

However, Jia Baoyu had no intention of clinging to the Rongguo Mansion at all, and Jia Baoyu even hated the dignitaries like the Ningrong Erfu, thinking that such dignitaries like the Ningrong Erfu are "lu ghosts" that are not beneficial to the country, and are parasites of Ming Dynasty. insect!

Although Jia Baoyu is of the same clan as the Rongguo Mansion, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the Rongguo Mansion. However, the Rongguo Mansion and the Qin family are in-laws, and his cousin Qin Chuan, who is very kind to Jia Baoyu, married Jia Yuanchun, the daughter of the Rongguo Mansion. The second master of the Rongguo Mansion who posted the post to Jia Baoyu was Qin Chuan's father-in-law.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu hesitated, and came to Qin Chuan with a post.

Qin Chuan read the post, thought for a while, and said, "Since I've invited you, you can go there. It's not a big deal, so let's treat it as a relative."

After listening to Qin Chuan's words, Jia Baoyu nodded and said: "Okay, I will definitely go to Rongguo Mansion..." Jia Baoyu sighed in his heart: "My cousin is good everywhere, she is very suitable for my cousin, why is she born in Rongguo Mansion?" As for the Guofu...it's really strange that the men in the Rongguo Mansion are very mediocre, but they have raised such an outstanding woman as Biaosao."

Qin Chuan watched Jia Baoyu grow up. For Jia Baoyu's thoughts, Qin Chuan was like a mirror in his heart. At that moment, Qin Chuan restrained the smile on his face and said, "I asked you to go to Rongguo Mansion not because of you. Sister-in-law, you are about to embark on an official career, why are you so naive!"

Seeing that Qin Chuan seemed to be angry, Jia Baoyu's heart trembled, and he lowered his hands and said, "Baoyu is stupid, please teach me my cousin!"

Qin Chuan was also not polite to Jia Baoyu, and taught him a lesson: "I know you look down on rich and powerful people like the Rongguo Mansion, but you are about to embark on an official career. If you want to be an official, you must learn to "be in harmony with the light and the dust"... You are not a fool. I don't need to teach you this kind of truth... You should think about it early. If you want to be an official If you want to benefit the common people, you must put away your edge, otherwise, I would rather you become a teacher, so as not to be killed when the time comes, and let the white-haired aunt send the black-haired!"

After hearing Qin Chuan's words, Jia Baoyu's heart trembled, he straightened his back, and replied, "Baoyu understands!"

Qin Chuan sighed, and said, "It's good that you understand, so what if you won the first prize, it just sounds good..."

Like Jia Baoyu, Qin Chuan hated powerful people like the Rongguo Mansion very much. However, Qin Chuan had the ambition of "governing the country and rejuvenating the country" and "haiyan and river cleanliness" in his heart. In order to realize his ambition, Qin Chuan had to become tactful. At that time, I turned a blind eye to those villains who had lost their conscience...

Jia Baoyu didn't like stereotyped essays very much, but in order to let the widowed mother live a happy life and realize the ambition in her chest, Jia Baoyu had to "hang her head on the beam and pierce her buttocks" and studied hard for more than ten years.

Jia Baoyu is very intelligent, Qin Chuan is right, Jia Baoyu naturally understands, but it is easier to know than to do...

After a while, Qin Chuan said again: "Your sister-in-law said that you and her lost brother look exactly the same... Your sister-in-law's younger brother is called 'Jia Yu', the old matriarch, master and wife of Rongguo Mansion They all regard Brother Yu as their lifeblood, I know you look down on Rongguo Mansion, but the old lady is getting old, you..."

Qin Chuan sighed again, Jia Baoyu thought of his widowed mother inexplicably, and said, "Baoyu understands."

After a few days, Jia Baoyu bought gifts and solemnly went to Rongguo Mansion.

Just as Jia Baoyu thought, he received an extremely warm reception in Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Baoyu first went to see Jia Zheng. When he saw Jia Baoyu, Jia Zheng was startled for a moment, and then his eyes turned red. Then, Jia Zheng led Jia Baoyu to greet Jia Mu. When he met Jia Baoyu, the king next to Jia Mu Madame, she burst into tears immediately. When Jia Mu saw it, she called "Yu'er" and cried heartbreakingly.

Jia Baoyu felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, and comforted the women in Rongguo Mansion softly, but his perception of Rongguo Mansion did not change in his heart, Jia Baoyu still hated Rongguo Mansion in his heart.

Jia Baoyu had heard a little about what Jia Yu did, and when he thought that he looked exactly like that dude who did that kind of thing with the girl in the study, Jia Baoyu felt very disgusted.

Rongguo Mansion entertained Jia Baoyu with a very high standard. After Jia Baoyu had dinner at Rongguo Mansion, he bid farewell and returned to Qin's house.

Jia's mother ordered someone to prepare a residence for Jia Baoyu, and let Jia Baoyu live in Rongguo Mansion. Jia Baoyu listened, declined the kindness of Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, and returned to Qin's house.

Jia Baoyu and Aunt Xue's mother and daughter are not related by blood, so Aunt Xue's mother and daughter have not met Jia Baoyu, but Aunt Xue's mother and daughter have lived in Rongguo Mansion for several years and have some connections. The girl found out that Jia Baoyu and Jia Yu looked exactly the same.

Seeing that the Rongguo Mansion entertained Jia Baoyu with extremely high standards, Aunt Xue's heart was moved.

That night, Aunt Xue discussed with Xue Baochai and said, "My son, what do you think of Jia Baoyu?"

Xue Baochai said in a low voice: "It's very good. He is two years younger than my daughter, but he is already a Gongshi. After passing the palace examination, he is a Jinshi and can be an official... Also, he looks exactly like my aunt's son. With the government as the backer, he will surely be able to rise to the top in the future..."

Hearing what Xue Baochai said, Aunt Xue knew that her daughter was very satisfied with Jia Baoyu, so she said immediately: "In that case, I will discuss with your aunt tomorrow and let Jia Baoyu come to propose marriage!"

Xue Baochai blushed when she heard Aunt Xue's words, and said, "Mom, daughter..."

Aunt Xue sighed, and said: "When you get married, I will marry your brother a wife, and I will be consummated."

Xue Pan is a few years older than Baochai, and now he is over 20 years old, but he has not married a wife yet. Aunt Xue loves Baochai the most. She has prepared a very rich dowry for Baochai. The daughter-in-law has an opinion, so she wants to wait for her daughter to marry before marrying her son.

Therefore, Xue Pan's marriage has been delayed until now, and has not yet been settled.

On the second day, Aunt Xue told Mrs. Wang about "wanting to recruit Jia Baoyu as her son-in-law". Mrs. Wang agreed with this marriage very much.

Seeing Jia Baoyu yesterday, Mrs. Wang was so shocked that she tossed and turned on the bed all night. Now, after hearing Aunt Xue's thoughts, Mrs. Wang thought to herself: "This Jia Baoyu and Yu'er are born exactly the same, even the birthday is the same. Could it be Yu'er's reincarnation... Let Bao girl marry Jia Baoyu, and Jia Baoyu will become my niece and son-in-law. With relatives, I will grow old again, and I will be able to meet a few times in the future... If Yu'er If you haven’t disappeared, you should be able to be named on the gold list..."

Thinking of Jia Yu's life and death being unknown, Mrs. Wang burst into tears again.

Mrs. Wang told Mother Jia about this, and Mother Jia said, "I didn't think of this. What I thought was, let you and the second master recognize Baoyu as a godson."

After listening to Mrs. Wang, she also felt that what Jia Mu said was reasonable, but she felt that there was no conflict between these two matters, and wanted to get closer.

Neither Jia's mother nor Mrs. Wang asked Jia Baoyu's thoughts. Subconsciously, both of them believed that it was Jia Baoyu's luck to be able to become relatives with the Rongguo Mansion.

A few days later, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang sent people to the Qin family to look for Yuan Chun, saying that they missed Yuan Chun and asked Yuan Chun to return to Rongguo Mansion.

Yuan Chun knew it was for Jia Baoyu, but he changed his clothes and went back to Rongguo Mansion.

That day, after Jia Yu disappeared, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang angered Yuan Chun, and because Yuan Chun married into the Qin family, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were very indifferent to Yuan Chun.

However, although Yuan Chun's relationship with his mother and grandmother is very cold, nothing can be seen on the surface. The three of them talk affectionately and very kindly.

Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Yuan Chun talked for a while, and Mrs. Wang told Yuan Chun about Jia Mu's thoughts and her thoughts.

After hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Yuan Chun looked embarrassed and said: "Although our master has a deep relationship with Brother Bao, he is from a different surname. Brother Bao also has a mother!"

Mrs. Wang said: "You have seen Bao girl, everything is top-notch..."

Jia's mother said: "Being close to our family will be of great benefit to his career..."

No matter what Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang said, Yuan Chun didn't let go. He just said, "I'll go back and talk to our master, but my daughter can't promise anything."

Yuan Chun said in his heart: "I can still guess what my husband is thinking. He absolutely does not want to get closer to the Rongguo Mansion...I can't decide on my husband's mind."

Ever since she married into the Qin family, Yuan Chun put her mother's family behind her husband's. Now that Yuan Chun gave birth to a son for Qin Chuan, this is even more so...

After returning to Qin's house, Yuan Chun told Qin Chuan what Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu had said. Qin Chuan listened. As Yuan Chun expected, Qin Chuan politely refused.

Qin Chuan and Yuan Chun had been married for several years, and the couple had a very good relationship. When they said no, Qin Chuan felt a little embarrassed and opened his mouth to say something.

Yuan Chun didn't want her husband to say outrageous words, so she said, "I understand what your husband means, but I didn't think carefully about this matter."

After hearing this, Qin Chuan felt more guilty towards Yuan Chun. Thinking of Yuan Chun being caught between his family and the Rongguo Mansion, Qin Chuan said pitifully, "I have wronged you."

Yuan Chun was a little moved when he heard this, and said with a smile, "I'm not wronged."

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the palace examination, and Jia Baoyu and other tributes came to Wenhua Palace together.

The Supreme Emperor attached great importance to the palace examination. Although he was suffering from illness, he still came to Wenhua Palace to invigilate the examination in person.

Although there were hundreds of candidates standing in the Wenhua Palace, the Supreme Emperor still spotted Jia Baoyu at a glance.

Seeing the exact same appearance as Jia Daishan, the Supreme Emperor looked a little dazed.

After the exam started, the Supreme Emperor summoned Dai Quan, pointed at Jia Baoyu, and said a little excitedly: "Go, let me find out who he is."

Dai Quanxin said, "What's wrong with the Supreme Emperor? Didn't the imperial physician say that you can't get excited?"

Then, Dai Quan looked in the direction of the Supreme Emperor's finger, saw Jia Baoyu, looked at Jia Baoyu's face, Dai Quan said with emotion in his heart: "There is such a miracle in the world, this person is actually born with Rong Guogong Jia Daishan Be exactly the same."

Dai Quan retreated silently and went to ask the candidates for information.

The Supreme Emperor stared at Jia Baoyu, wondering what he was thinking...
