[Red House] How to escape from a broken ship

On the second day of the palace examination, the Secretary of the Household Department met with the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Emperor Duanping seemed to be in a good mood, and ordered General Zuo Jinwuwei and Situ Hao, Marquis of Linzi County, to be the Prince Shaobao.And at the same time that the Minister of Dali Temple retired, Sun Gao and Sun Jingling took over as Minister of Dali Temple.The emperor also joked with Lin Hai: Your nephew Jia Yan is very good, maybe there is an anecdote that both uncle and nephew are prostitutes!

Lin Hai hurriedly resigned for Jia Yan, saying: "You are ignorant, you still need to be taught. How can you be worthy of the emperor's praise."

Situ Shao asked Jia Yan again if he was married, Lin Hai's heart trembled, and he quickly said that he planned to marry his daughter to his nephew.The emperor laughed and said, "That's why Weng and his son-in-law are looking for flowers."

Lin Hai was really happy to see His Majesty this time, which shows that the emperor had a good impression of Yan'er.But Sun Gao's mood was more complicated. He had just been placed in the position of Minister of Dali Temple by the emperor Jinkou Yuyan, and then the emperor said, "How old is your eldest son, Sun Zhong? Haven't you been engaged yet?"

Sun Gao felt apprehensive, but he still said frankly: "Yes, I am still studying in the Imperial College. I am 21 years old and have not been engaged yet."

The emperor smiled and said: "I have a granddaughter who is in the year of plum blossom. I want to find a county horse for her. I have fallen in love with Aiqing's eldest son. What do you think of Aiqing?"

What Sun Gao could say, he could only say yes, he agreed, and the emperor laughed: "Well, I will make the loyal and loyal only daughter Princess Xianyang, and marry Sun Zhong!"

Sun Jingling wanted to cry, but on the way out of the palace, Lin Hai had consumed countless saliva but couldn't make him feel better.It's not that if you become a consort or a county horse in this dynasty, you will lose your future. Except for the special case of Liang Yizhi, all other concubines have real jobs, but most of them are military.

What's more, marrying the princess depends on the princess. The princess of Xianyang, whose parents died, was originally guilty of a crime, and was only released two years ago.Not many people know what kind of temperament and education he has received. Sun Zhong's daughter-in-law is the eldest daughter-in-law!And when I get home, how do I tell my wife that my son is getting married...

"Jing Ling listen to my persuasion, the matter has come to an end, it is useless to lament." Lin Hai finally persuaded, he whispered: "Now your majesty is thinking more and more, it is better to let the children not complain, the county horse is also the same I want to see you."

Of course Sun Gao understood Lin Hai's meaning, anyway, it was already like this, he rubbed his face: "It is estimated that I will make an order in a while, and I will invite Ru Hai to bring his wife to come to the house in the afternoon, and also persuade Zhuo Jing." Lin Hai naturally agree.

"What! Sincere loyalty to the prince and princess, isn't that the daughter of the abolished King Qin!" Zhao Shi was so startled that she almost jumped up, and then she refused: "I'm picking a wife for Zhong'er, how come..."

She looked at Sun Gao suspiciously: "Master, you didn't say it yourself, did you?"

"Oh, ma'am!" Sun Gao couldn't laugh or cry: "Am I that kind of person? In order to relieve the emperor's worries, I donated my own son? I met with Senior Brother Ru Hai today, and the emperor suddenly asked whether the two heirs No engagement, Brother Yan wants to be engaged to Miss Lin, I said in our family that the second son is still young, the eldest son is not engaged, and then the emperor will be, I am also very surprised."

Mrs. Zhao also knew that her husband had no choice, so she asked: "Then, does the master know what kind of person the princess is? Our parents and daughter-in-law must be able to take care of things, right? The princess has been imprisoned since childhood, who knows what kind of temper she will have?" ..."

"Oh," Sun Zhong sighed, "I heard that after being released two years ago, I was raised under Concubine Su Gui and grew up with the Twelve Princesses. I don't think it would be too bad. I'm really worried. I'll ask after I receive the decree." Ask Consort Liang to see if the princess understands the princess."

Mrs. Zhao nodded, that was the only way to go. When the order arrived at noon, and Sun Zhong followed his father to receive the order in a daze, the marriage would be considered a solid deal.Because Sun Zhong became the husband of the princess, according to the practice of conferring the princess as the first rank by the princess of the Great Wu Dynasty, and because the emperor felt a little guilty about his granddaughter, he was given an additional title of Governor of the Dragon Guard. Zi became an official of Cong Sipin.

Sun Zhong, who was still studying in the Imperial College and was planning to take the exam next time, was so dizzy by this grace, so he became an official?After studying hard for more than ten years, it is possible to become a scholar of the fourth-rank official when it is possible to retire, because a marriage becomes a fourth-rank official!

Sun Gao pressed his son's shoulder: "This is not a custom, it's just the emperor's special order to grant grace, it's just a false title. You still have to study hard and don't slack off, you know?"

Sun Zhong nodded in a daze.

As for Lin Hai's family congratulations, he asked his wife Jia Min to comfort Mrs. Zhao not to say much, but this made their husband and wife nervous: Now the daughters of Yan Wang and Qi Wang's family in Beijing are also getting married one after another.It would be embarrassing again, after the celebration of the Sun family, Lin Hai invited Liang Lun and Princess Changle to be the witnesses, while Xu Zhi, the Liang family, and the Sun family brothers lived with Jia Yan in another house and performed six salutes!

Jia Yan asked the official media to come forward to accept Cai, and brought Shi Guangzhu—in fact, the wild goose prepared by Situ Kuo for him—to the Lin family to propose marriage, waiting for the news from the Iceman.Lin Fu agreed, and asked the matchmaker to ask for his name and Najib.

After Liang's family found out about the marriage last year, Jia Yan asked Tao Hou, who was staying in Yangzhou, to seal up the house in Yangzhou and dispose of the Zhuangzi in other places.He also prepared part of the betrothal gifts in Yangzhou, and sent Huang Sanmu to take his daughter-in-law Huang's family and his son Huang Wu to take care of them to Beijing and put them in the prepared house.

After the process was completed, Jia Yan, under the guidance of Xu Zhi and Liang Xuan, two married men, asked people to pack up the dowry gifts, and went to the Lin family to engage in person.At this point, the bustling wedding is more than half settled, only the date and the personal welcome are left.Nowadays, all the famous and surnamed families in Beijing know that the daughter of the Lin family is going to marry her nephew, and they all know that Jia Yan is a well-known and well-known person.

At this point, the hearts of the elders are finally relieved, and they don't have to worry about someone cutting things off.As for the wedding date, Lin Hai personally invited the Beijing Zhongtian Supervisor Zhangzheng to divination good and bad luck, and chose the wedding date. The auspicious days in the 29th year of Duanping are all in the second half of the year. According to the usual practice, after the palace examination results are released, the new subjects have one or two months of vacation to go home to announce the good news .

Jia Yan returned to Jinling to deal with various matters, and then came back to get married, time was running out.Then next year will be a good day. After the emperor's [-]th birthday at the beginning of next year, good days will follow one after another.Lin Hai called Jia Yan, and Jia Yan had nothing to do, the wife must belong to him anyway, and his house was bought in a hurry, and it still needs to be repaired.

Daiyu's dowry on the Lin family's side also needs to be organized, as well as the dowry for her daughter, etc. When the marriage is in front of her eyes, she realizes that it's all a matter.Therefore, the date of engagement was set on March 28, after the emperor's birthday next year.

Sun Zhong's marriage will be done in August of this year. Before the emperor's birthday, he will see his granddaughter descend, and Mrs. Zhao is also relieved after hearing Princess Changle say that Princess Xianyang is gentle and honest, and has no strange temper. Just prepare for your son's marriage.

If it is said that parents are the ones who worry about before marriage, even though Jia Yan's situation is special, the elders also support him, and there is nothing wrong with it.Moreover, the Sun family is going to be in-laws with the royal family now, the Ministry of Rites and the Inner Palace have sent people to the Sun family to teach etiquette, and the Sun family brothers and Sun Xiaomei are detained at home and cannot come out.And because Daiyu will get married next year, the old lady of the Rong Mansion is reluctant to part with her, so after rushing to get engaged, she takes Daiyu to her side and wants to live there for a while.

Jia Yan had no choice but to go out for horse racing and hunting with the Liang family brothers, and occasionally meet Baoyu's sons and sons. The rest of the time was not only listening to his uncle's training, but also wandering around the Chu palace with Shi Guangzhu and Situ Kuo.

Jia Yan had never seen the other palaces of the princes in Beijing, but according to Shi Guangzhu, the Chu Palace was the first in Beijing in terms of location and layout, and it was said that it was won by the noble concubine for her son.Situ Kuo smiled wryly: "Over the years, how many scapegoats my mother has borne. She never cared about these things. This mansion was also sent by my father... Tsk, why can't they see me?"

Jia Yan said with a smile: "The world is like this. It seems that the emperor's doting on the concubine is a sign of disaster for the country. It is very easy to make a fuss about it. But I don't know that the emperor in the previous dynasty doted on the empress. As a result, the empress's natal family did all kinds of evil. In the end, even the emperor died."

"Hmph, it's all free." Shi Guangzhu sneered, "It seems that he is a loyal minister and a good general if he looks for some trouble."

Situ Kuo waved his hands: "Let's not talk about this, it's very disappointing, as if the king of Qi wanted to use the princess's marriage as a raft to clean himself up but failed."

He said the matter again, and the two people on the opposite side laughed, and Situ Kuo said again: "By the way, I heard that Shan Guogong chose a wife for Guanghu and Guanglin." Jia Yan sat aside and suddenly realized: "Yes, Guanghu Zhu, you are the eldest grandson, you are not married yet, right?"

Shi Guangzhu smiled nonchalantly: "He wished that everyone would forget about me. Ever since my great-aunt passed away, it's even harder for others to take care of it. As for the Shi family, if they want to take care of it, I won't let it go."

"It's my negligence," Situ Kuo sighed, "I'm like this, you guys can't do it, Boheng has uncle to worry about. Meng Gui... It's a pity that my uncle's family has no cousins, they are all cousins." After thinking about it, he finally said "How about this? Boheng also helped to ask. You still have your aunt, Mrs. Lin, and all you know are girls from high families. If there is a suitable one, you might as well choose it for Meng Gui."

"Don't worry, Meng Gui can also rest assured." Jia Yan said with a smile, "I'll tell my aunt what happened when I get back. Please let the elders come forward. If there is something suitable, I must tell Meng Gui."

At the beginning of March, the results of the palace examination were released. Amongst the joy, Jia Yan passed the No. 3 Jinshi in Yihai Division [-]A, a dignified Tanhualang.When Zhu entered the palace in the same year, the number one scholar and the second place were distributed to the Imperial Academy as usual, and Jia Yan was specially appointed as an editor of the Imperial Academy to observe politics in the Imperial Academy.

The emperor looked around at the kings and Xinke Scholars, and said: "All the kings in Beijing have long histories, Wang You assisted, and Prince Kuangzheng. The day when King Chu opened his mansion was still young, and I did not appoint a long history official for him. Shi Zhongcheng, Zhao Ji, inspected the history of the governor of the Prince of Chu, took Yijia No.3 Tanhua, editor of the Imperial Academy, Jia Yan as a friend of the King of Chu, and served as a recorder to join the army. Don’t let me down, and do your best to assist the King of Chu.”

Jia Yan was already dumbfounded, and only now came back to his senses: "I will live up to your Majesty's entrustment, and I will take orders!"
