Rebirth of the Red Mansions: Jia Lian's way of turning over

Lin Ruhai, who returned to the capital, went to Rongguo Mansion to take his only remaining daughter back to the mansion after recuperating. Even though he was shocked by the dilapidated old house of the Lin family, he was still worried about Mrs. Jia, the mother-in-law.

An old lady who can torture her own daughter to death, can she let the unprofitable Daiyu go?As long as the Lin family's son is still alive, it is absolutely impossible for the Jia family to steal the wealth of the Lin family.

Lin Ruhai, who had already hated the Jia family to the core, was naturally very tough. With his second-rank official, Jian Zai's minister, isn't it enough to deter the Jia family's group of people who see the wind and the wind?The Wang family can make them so humble, Lin Ruhai, a capital official who can cut off the future of all the literati in their Jia family, is not enough to make the old lady fear?

After all, they were still too obedient to them, which made them think that the Lin family was a bully, and they would attack them again and again. Originally, Lin Ruhai didn't plan to remarry, but this time he wanted to get rid of the Jia family. Family relatives, if you say anything, you must continue to be a family relative. If the old lady, the mother-in-law, firmly opposes it, he can still ask His Majesty for a marriage.

It is believed that Daiyu is the only link between their Lin family and Jia's family in the future. His old lady took control of the Lin family first, but she can no longer do so. Not only that, but the heavy gifts every year have to be halved every year.

After Lin Ruhai was so strong that he took Lin Daiyu away from the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Jia was in a daze for a long time before recovering from her senses. She couldn't believe that Lin Ruhai, who was weak in writing, could threaten him over and over again.

Lin Ruhai is also good at grabbing handles. What the old lady cares most about is the rise of her children and grandchildren. As long as the old lady refuses to let Daiyu go, otherwise Daiyu will have an accident in Jia's mansion, and he will prevent Jia Zheng from being promoted for the rest of his life. , Let Baoyu's reputation be discredited from then on, let alone take the imperial examination.

The Rongguo Mansion, which couldn't even rise, is nothing but an empty shell. It has been muddled for two consecutive generations. In less than ten years, the Jia family will be nothing in Beijing. If the new emperor succeeds, the Jia family will be really It's going to disappear from the crowd.

As Lin Ruhai, who was born in Tanhua and came from a scholarly family, it is really easy for Lin Ruhai to bring down a dude from a noble family who has no real power.

The old lady who was lamenting again and again was really sick, and she was so dizzy that even Baoyu didn't pay much attention to her.

Everyone knows that Baoyu likes Daiyu, but Daiyu can see that she avoids Baoyu from time to time. Baoyu didn't care at first, but he had plenty of time to touch this younger sister, because the third younger sister was also moved by him now, and younger sister Lin was also moved. Sooner or later.

But as soon as Lin Daiyu left, Baoyu suddenly seemed to lose a lot of things in his heart, and he also became confused. Others called him several times but he didn't get a response, which was obviously stupid.

When Mrs. Wang saw this, she was not in a hurry and went to the imperial doctor to treat her, but it didn't work. He was in good health and didn't have any symptoms at all. When the situation was so desperate, a monk suddenly walked into Baoyu's room , passing through layers of crowds as easily as entering no man's land.

"Benefactor, Young Master Bao has obtained the Soul Devouring Certificate, which can bring him back to his senses. Only the person he misses the most. If that person can stay by his side all year round, Young Master Bao will never have such symptoms again."

The Laitou monk disappeared without a trace after saying this, Wang was too frightened to move for a while, and when she regained her senses, she thought of Lin Daiyu, if Lin Daiyu hadn't left, how could her Baoyu be like this?

Wang knows that Lin Ruhai is powerful, and she can't afford to provoke her, but she can provoke Lin Daiyu, no matter how much Lin Ruhai doesn't want to, as long as Lin Daiyu's reputation is destroyed, that little bitch will belong to Baoyu sooner or later.

If Lin Ruhai refused to hand over that little bitch, she would have no choice but to send her home. With the strength of her royal family, she could capture him. If she was willing to let Baoyu marry Daiyu, then everyone would be happy. Lin Ruhai couldn't even deal with Baoyu.

With Baoyu's current appearance, it is impossible to have a future. As long as he can wake up, he can talk about anything.

But can she really do it?Wang Xifeng's control over the Jia family is getting stronger and stronger. She has money, and more and more people can be bought. Now that the Wang family has lost her backer, she, Lian's second grandmother, didn't seize the opportunity to take the position, wasting this great opportunity .

Therefore, when Wang made a move, Wang Xifeng followed suit. Although she was sorry, she felt that someone had to take responsibility for Wang's actions, and Baoyu was the best candidate.

Someone outside the Rongguo Mansion suddenly spread rumors about Baoyu and Daiyu's intimate relationship, sharing the same bed together, if not for how old they are, it would be a piece of nasty talk, completely unbearable.

But after a while, it came out that Baoyu was slapped countless times by his cousin's servants every time he bravely broke into his cousin's boudoir. To the face.

There have been many rumors, and it is also rumored that Baoyu loves to eat the rouge on the girl's mouth, and has caught rouge powder and the like by lottery. What's more, it is said that Baoyu has a fetish for women's clothing, and she is almost 7 years old in clothes like red balls on weekdays. What the hell is she wearing red and powder all day long?

These rumors outside the mansion were not too noisy, they were just saying that the situation was just for fun, but Lin Ruhai absolutely hated Jia's mansion, if Wang Xifeng hadn't looked after him in advance, how could he have responded quickly, and Lin Ruhai directly gave Wang Xifeng 1 Ten thousand taels of banknote disease and a pack of medicine.

The package of medicine was the sterilization medicine given to Jia Min by the Jia family. If Wang Xifeng hated the second wife, he would use this package of medicine to deal with them. Doctors may not be aware of it, and it is necessary to use it with caution.

Could it be that Wang Xifeng of this package of medicine really gave Baoyu some, the amount is not much, it will depend on good luck in the future, and she will save the rest well, maybe she can use it in the future, who knows if Jia Lian can do it It's always good to be prepared and take care of her all the time.

The dazed Baoyu was not able to get Lin Daiyu's visit, and Wang's heartbroken often failed to shake the Lin family. In the past, he could listen to her arrangement, but now, as long as he hears that he is dealing with the Lin family, he shakes his head and quits, even her second brother doesn't want to intervene in this matter.

Baoyu was stunned, it was an absolute blow to the old lady, she was already ill, but now she is getting sicker, it is actually a bad omen.

Now the second room's future depends entirely on the old lady alone, and Wang's clothes are so untidy that she has to serve in front of the bed. She is exhausted to death, and the old lady finally wakes up.

Jia She, who used to be quite filial, did not get angry like Jia Zheng, and even had a little expectation. It was the old lady's fault that the Rongguo Mansion was tossed into what it is now. It's all the old lady's fault for being so aggrieved. It's really a good thing for their eldest wife that the old lady can die soon.

But both Jia Lian and the Xing family behaved very well, and they never showed any joy on their faces every day. If they were caught by the second room, they would not cause a lot of trouble.

And this last year of filial piety was spent while the old lady was convalescing her illness. Not long after the New Year passed, Wang Xifeng was so happy that she had the entire Rongguo Mansion cleaned up, and every corner had to be brightened.

Their Second Master Lian has already left for Jinling, in the name of renovating the old house, preparing for the examination of scholar.Wang Xifeng was full of confidence in this exam. After studying hard for three years, how could she not even pass the exam as a scholar? The old master Zhang said earlier that he could try Qiu Wei.

Obviously, in the past three years, Jia Lian has grown up too much, and Jia Lian, who is holding back his energy, must have studied hard, but when he went to Jiangnan, the empress actually summoned Jia Yuanchun, and let Jia Yuanchun stay in the palace ever since , became the queen's female officer.

The old lady didn't know the reason for this, but she didn't dare to resist. Everyone was sent to the palace, how could she rush in and bring him back?This is obviously impossible.

Moreover, the old lady is still looking forward to, with Yuan Chun's appearance, she might be able to make a name for herself in the palace.

The situation in the palace is very tense now, the struggle among the several princes is approaching fierceness, there are not many people standing in line above the court, and there are even several groups of people in the army, except for the imperial guards in the palace, there are not many people that the Holy Majesty can trust not much.

But even in the Forbidden Army, there are many descendants of honorable families. Most of the forces behind these people have already stood in line, and it is not too safe.

Jia Lian already knew what the majesty's plans would be, so he wanted to enter the court even more, because after the abdication of the majesty, the people under the third prince's subordinates gradually rose to high positions in a few years, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity to be called the direct line.

Jia Lian, who is already regarded as the third prince's confidant, has done a lot of things for the third prince. I don't know how much news from Dai Quan has been passed on. With the old eunuch's treachery, it can be seen that there are too many things. Relying on these information, the Third Prince Nian has become more and more respectable with the Holy Majesty. Even if he is not the favorite, he is definitely the most pleasing to the eye.

The prince is becoming more and more violent now. He is run on by his father and ridiculed by several brothers all day long. It is strange that he is not violent. In addition, he is not young, but the body is still so good. He can continue Can you bear it?

Based on the experience of the previous life, within the past two years, the prince will go crazy and force the palace, and then several other princes with military power will enter the palace to rescue him, and eventually all die in the palace, including the prince of the Zhen family, who is also not safe Gotta survive.

And when the third prince is the queen, the Zhen family will not dare to be presumptuous. Once the emperor dies, the first one of the Zhen family will be confiscated. Imposing castration and imprisoning in the Jiangnan Palace, the remaining female family members were naturally filled into the teaching and training workshop, and none of them escaped intact.

Naturally, the treasures that the Zhen family put in the Jia's mansion before raiding the house could not be taken back, but this pile of treasures really killed the Jia family.

Jia Lian didn't think too much about what happened afterwards, the boy trial in front of him was the beginning of his life, as long as he could step into the court and become the cabinet, there would be no accidents in his Jia family, and Jia Lian would live a decent life for the rest of his life .

Most of the old slaves in Jinling are old ladies. They don’t care much about Jia Lian. They look so-so. Jia Lian only brought Wang’er with him. When he went out to take the exam, he went out quietly. Get too many people's attention.

After the first body search, Jia Lian came to his room, which was neither bad nor the best. The soldiers kept staring around, and also staring at Jia Lian from time to time, obviously it wasn't a good place either.

Taking part in the county examination quietly has his own advantages. Who would go out of his way to inquire about other people's children taking part in the imperial examination?Even the Zhen family didn't have enough food to inquire about these things. Besides, how many noble families are relying on imperial examinations today?How many other people can produce a scholar?

In the past, Jia Zheng had a previous criminal record. Even if the Zhen family found out that Jia Lian had joined the imperial examination, would they really care?The Jia family has a good relationship with the Zhen family now, the only thing the Zhen family could do is to notify the Rongguo Mansion.

After an exam, the amount of questions is not small but not too difficult. After many years of training in Tie Jing and Mo Yi, generally there will be no mistakes. Poetry and prose do not need to be very good, as long as they can speak fluently. Those who have passed countless questions will naturally not pay much attention to policy theory in the first round of the imperial examination.

There is nothing too complicated. There are many people who can pass the first round, but they have not yet gained fame for passing this round.

Jia Lian's performance in this round is not bad, he didn't rank in the top three, but in the top ten, his poetry writing standard is not good, which will definitely lower his score a lot. Most of the talents in Jiangnan are good at poetry.

The first game is over, and there is not much suspense in the second game. As long as you maintain the posture of being in the top 50, you can get a child.

Wang'er was even more nervous than Jia Lian. On the day the list was announced, he saw the name of his family's second master Lian, who was still in the top ten. He was so happy that he wrote back to Lixiangyuan quickly, so that their grandma would know about it early. Wait for the good news.

After two rounds, law and arithmetic were added to the last court exam, which was an absolute point for Jia Lian to score. The second master Lian, who was beating the beads, knew the answer in his mind. .

But this time, Jia Lian rushed to the top five and won the title of scholar in one fell swoop. During the next period, none of the servants in Jinling's old house knew that Jia Lian went out in the morning and returned at night. With such a little effort, the group of people in Jinling Old House completely lost the opportunity to interfere with Jia Lian.

After being successful and retired, Jia Lian was not in a hurry to return to Beijing, but silently waited for this year's autumn, and took the opportunity to clean up the servants in the old Jinling house. From Jia Lian's understanding, Jincai's family can keep it safe. Here, it must be because there are enough benefits.

There was no treasure found in the Rongguo Mansion, including the storerooms of the old lady and Wang Xifeng, which were all empty, but the rest of the Jia family in Jinling were still very rich. It is obvious how everyone's financial resources will be in the next few years. Jia Lian knew it well, so the root cause should be in the old house.

It's rare to visit the old house, how can he return empty-handed, Jin Cai and his wife say they are loyal, but as long as they can handle these two, the old house in Jinling is owned by Jia Lian alone, and the old lady can't interfere.

And Jia Lian's method was very quick, because Wang Xifeng had already seized the only son of the couple. Once the letter from his only son was handed in, everything would be easy to handle. Women's relatives are on a par.

The Jincai couple, who have heard some rumors over the years, changed their minds without hesitation. All the treasures that the old lady kept in the old house were dedicated to Jia Lian. Anyway, the old lady herself didn't know how much was left here, and she wouldn't take it easy. Get things out of here.

After Jia Lian did some stocktaking, he came to a conclusion that was more than that, because the total value of these things was less than one-tenth of the value of the old lady's warehouse in Rongguo Mansion, at most tens of thousands of taels, and most of them were immovable. big piece.

But as soon as Jia Lian thought of the two words "big piece", he immediately thought of the follow-up matter of concubine concubine visiting relatives. At that time, the good decorations in Beijing were sold at sky-high prices. earn.

Thinking about it this way, it's not too little. No matter how much it is, the old lady may not be watching closely. Jia Lian took 5000 taels of silver out of it and set up a carriage and horse dealer in Jinling. If they are connected together, even if the north and the south are connected, even if the delivery is good on weekdays.

The king of Beijing has been watching for nothing these few years. The car and horse dealership that he had promised has gradually taken shape. There are many experts in the rivers and lakes. too many things.

With all the fuss, life went by so fast, Wang Xifeng waited in Jia's mansion for more than half a year, and finally received the third letter, Jia Lian was elected!

However, in more than half a year, Jia Lian actually got the fame of juren in one fell swoop, which really boosted Wang Xifeng's confidence, and she just waited for the return of her second master Lian.

Jia Lian's ranking in this time is considered low, and he can barely qualify. Just like the old man Zhang commented, most of Jiangnan's exams are really strong. Know better, I'm afraid it will be difficult to qualify.

But Jia Lian passed the Juren examination. As long as this exam is over, the next year's Jinshi exam will not be so stressful. Every year, most of the candidates who pass from Jiangnan can be a Jinshi. Make up for it for a while, and see if you can get a Jinshi directly.

But at this time, except for Wang Xifeng's guidance, no one in the Rongguo Mansion was paying attention.

Wang Ziteng, who has been repeatedly calculated by the prince's influence, also has no time to pay attention to the Rongguo Mansion. Lin Ruhai will be added later, and he will be as big as a cow, and it will be difficult to gain a firm foothold.

In order for Jia Lian to take the imperial examination better, Lin Ruhai directly dragged Wang Ziteng and Zhen's family into the water, so that this group of people had no time to look after others, and put all their attention on the court. one of the reasons.

Waiting for the next spring to come, Wang Xifeng was trembling and extremely unsteady, and all the affairs in the house were done carelessly, which caused a lot of scolding by the Wang family and the old lady.

During this year, Baoyu has come to his senses, accompanied by the two sisters Tanchun and Xichun, and the careful care of Xiren and Qingwen. Both Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

To say that the biggest change is Jia Yuanchun. This female official who has only been in the palace for a year has been given a marriage to the third prince. The seventeenth prince has long been pleased with Xue Baochai, so how can he accept it.

In the end, when the commotion got louder, Yuan Chun was given to the third prince as a concubine. After going around, he ended up in the third prince's backyard. The third prince himself was quite depressed, but fortunately, he didn't If it caused too much dissatisfaction, Jia Yuanchun was already a dispensable person.

Jia Yuanchun, who entered the Third Prince's Mansion, seemed to have disappeared without any news. The old lady and Mrs. Wang also lost their hearts, and never came to seek shame.

Without Wang Ziteng's care, the status of Jia's family deteriorated day by day. Seeing that the old friends gradually ceased to see each other, Jia Lian came back after finishing the Chunwei exam. It also attracted a lot of attention in the back streets.

After the old lady found out, she quickly called Wang Xifeng to interrogate her.

How could Wang Xifeng care about the old lady? Jia Lian's face was blue when he came back from the Chang Chunwei exam. He knew that people were cold and cold, and it made him feel distressed when he saw it. After steeping, it took nearly half a cup of tea before Jia Lian finally warmed up.

"Second Master, how did you do in the exam?" Wang Xifeng asked tremblingly.
