The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Shui Rong's movements have always been fast, and he doesn't have many counselors who can give advice - he doesn't dare to support himself, but there are still many capable people who can handle these mundane affairs. After a while, he looked at a place for Rong Jiaxiang , is the house where Xueshi Liu of the Imperial Academy lived. He returned home after returning home, and he had no children. Isn't he an official in Shandong?

After receiving the approval letter, Shui Rong went to Lin Mo's mansion to talk to Rong Jia in person, and said with a smile: "The Feng Shui of the house is good, I asked someone to look at it, Liu Xueshi is the official, and the courtyard has a literati atmosphere. It's just right for you to live here. That's right, I haven't congratulated you on your double happiness yet."

What about double happiness?Rong Jia was taken aback, but it was Lin Mo who smiled and said: "The list hasn't been released yet, the prince came last time and said you don't know much about it."

Shui Rong smiled and said nothing.

Today's chief examiner, Zhou Hanlin, is a man of integrity and integrity, but he has gone too far. His status is not as good as that of Wang Shilang, so he is naturally afraid that someone will gossip. Guo: "I heard that Marquis Jingyuan's cousin is also gone? What's the result?" Without waiting for Zhou Hanlin to answer, he said again: "Rong Mingqian is useful."

Although Zhou Hanlin wanted to attack the disciples of the aristocratic family to rectify his reputation of incorruptibility, but with the emperor's words, how could he dare to criticize Rong Jia?

This matter was not found out by Shui Rong, when the emperor asked Zhou Hanlin about it, he happened to be discussing with the emperor about the division of entrustment in the study room - the emperor said that he shook his head and didn't know.And after asking about the scientific examination, the emperor asked Zhou Hanlin to go back, but he didn't let him hear about the entrustment, which shows that he was still a little wary of the fifth prince's Yue family.Now there are only Shui Fu and the Fifth Prince as the sons of the Zhonggong... Shui Rong is also happy.

What Lin Mo said was right. Although the matter of the emperor's distribution of the princes was kept secret in Beijing, the emperor himself said it when the old sage was celebrating his [-]th birthday. Just congratulating the old sage on his birthday, the presents were all novelty and precious rare things, and the old sage himself liked it, so he said: "If you seal your brothers' sons too."

This is interesting to say, the emperor himself is the head of a country, his son, a prince will not be lost, and his brothers themselves are just princes, and it is enough to make a son, what are the rest of the sons?The ministers were silent and did not dare to answer, the emperor's face remained unchanged, and he pretended to be embarrassed: "It is for this reason that my son is also in a difficult situation. A few days ago, I discussed with several emperor brothers, and the emperor brothers all wrote a booklet to help you. My eldest son, please make me your son, that is Xiao Shiwu, eh..."

Fifteen, Lord Zhongshun.

King Zhongshun is the most beloved youngest son of the old sage. He has passed his thirties, but he has no legitimate son, and he has been acting more and more perverted recently. Like the princess and the four side concubines as enemies, the matter of doting on the actor caused a lot of trouble Know.The emperor put forward King Zhongshun so evasively. The emperor was afraid that he would ask for his adoptive son in the name of King Zhongshun without a son, so he hurriedly said, "Fifteenth is too capricious. At least it's up to your mother and concubine!"

King Zhongshun hurriedly kowtowed to the old saint to plead guilty.

The emperor smoothed things over and said: "Father is right, fifteen, just look at Concubine Hua."

Although Ding You was at home, Lin Mo was a first-class Marquis, so he also attended the meeting. The two brothers, Shi Ding and Shi Nai, were the first-class generals in Rongning and Ningfu. Only the first-class general Jia She and the third-class general Jia Zhen were present. They are all in the second seat, and they will not be able to see the sage Longyan.Lin Mo just stared at the paving on the mat, knelt down when others knelt down, and got up when others got up, with no expression on his face, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.

His table, or the entire table, is full of mature people, so he didn't see what this young master was thinking.

It was interrupted by the matter of Zhongshun Wang's son.The matter of enfeoffment was not clearly mentioned at the meeting, and the emperor did not mention it any more, which made everyone think about it.

And Jia Mu and others are also restless at the banquet.

Although her son is only a first-class general, Jia Mu is the first-class imperial edict granted by Rong Guogong Jia Daishan, and the princess will be her next.The royal family members are led by the empress, the first is the empress dowager, and the empress is next. Even the concubine Hua and others have never attended, let alone Yuan Chun. Although she is a noble concubine, there is really no place for her on such an occasion .

The empress dowager and the empress were originally aunts and nephews, and their natal family had no social relations with the four kings and eight princes, so they only boasted about the looks and longevity of the elders, but chatted a little more with the female relatives of the new noble family.

Although Yuan Chun came out of the empress's palace, she showed her face in front of the emperor relying on the relationship of Concubine Hua, so she asked the emperor to award it to the emperor, so she offended the two mistresses at once, and Jia's mother entered the palace every month. To greet the concubine, you also need to go to the queen first, but the queen is most afraid of trouble, and she is also sympathetic to the bodies of the elders and their longing for missing women. It is just to let them go to the concubine's bedroom after a salute, leaving only her own family say.It's just that the empress dowager doesn't have the good temper of her niece. She is also getting older, and she acts more casually. She has suffered a lot from these honorable families in the early years. At this time, the emperor is not here, so it is just a matter of face I'm too lazy to give it.

Mrs. Wang is only a pleasant person of five grades, so she is not qualified to be seated. Only Mrs. Xing was at the same table with Jia Mu. She has always been clumsy and petty. Mrs. Xing had been dissatisfied with Jia Mu for a long time, and because of Sister Feng's crying, she was so happy that she didn't say a word, just looking at Jia Mu feeling uncomfortable on pins and needles.Jia Zhen's wife, Youshi, knew how to advance and retreat and was united with Jia's mother. However, there were many female relatives, and her third-class imperial order could only be ranked second.

At this table, the two concubines of the historian family, Chen and Xu, were resentful because their marriage with Lin Mo was blocked by Jia's mother. Shi Xiangyun said: "You also learn from the girls in their family and rush to curry favor with others. Don't gossip outside and make yourself ugly!" While doing work, he said bluntly: "Could it be that you didn't think about giving your sister to Brother Lin? Otherwise, what did you ask me for?" Only Chen and Xu were half-dead.Now the emperor is thoroughly investigating the treasury, and the historians are returning the money owed to the treasury with a minimum of clothing and food. The girls and grandmas are starting to do the work with their own hands. It's not that their own girls don't do it, but Xiangyun just wipes tears and expresses grievances when he sees anyone. Asking Mother Jia to ask them—is it good for Shi Xiangyun if the reputation of the senior historians is bad?Is she a girl from the Shi family or from the Jia family?It's all right if you don't do it, and she is not lacking in this, but she has to stay up until midnight to work for the Jia family's phoenix eggs!

At that time, Mrs. Xu felt that it was a bolt from the blue when she heard Cui Ling's report. When she asked carefully, it turned out that a girl in Jia Baoyu's room asked her to do it.

Well, if you don't want to do needlework for your aunts and uncles in your family, it will be harsh on her, but even a girl from Jia's family can make a daughter of a historian with two families?

This girl in Rongguo Mansion takes herself too seriously!

Although the four kings and eight princes are above the Marquis, Jia's mansion is no longer Rong Guogong, but a first-class general's mansion. What qualifications do they have to criticize historians?What's more, Jia Baoyu is not the son of a first-class general, but the son of a fifth-rank official, and he has no future in this place. You, Shi Xiangyun, are too embarrassing to the historians.

Why do you and your sister-in-law have such a big opinion on the Jia family?It turned out that the Jia family claimed to be the head of the four families. At that time, the Marquis of the Shi family was inherited by the eldest brother Shi Xiangyun's father, Shi Wei, so the two wives married by Shi Ding and Shi Nai were not too high-ranking, at least not able to join Jia's mother. In their eyes, their mother-in-law, Long Shi, was not uncommonly harassed by this sister-in-law back then. It was rare for the three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to have a common opponent, and even the most difficult dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the world was resolved.It can be seen that Jia's mother is also a capable person.

Now that Shi Xiangyun is not up to date, the Chen family and the Xu family will be said to be harsh on the orphan left by the elder brother if they take more care, so they let go.

Listen to what Jia's mother said to Shi Xiangyun: "The marquis belongs to your father, and the Shi family's things should have belonged to you!" The elder brother left without leaving a son. Is Hou Wei withdrawn just like that?The family property was originally left by the ancestors. Even if the eldest brother is still alive, they will not be short of their second and third bedrooms when the family is divided. What's more, the third bedroom is still a marquis due to military merits. What has it to do with taking advantage of the eldest family?Even if the big house is still there, everything is a girl's house.

If it weren't for the reputation of the first two maids in her family, Mrs. Chen really wished she could just throw that Xiangyun at Jia's family.

So at this table, Mother Jia is really helpless.

Although they are on good terms with the four kings and eight people, the concubines and concubines of the four kings are naturally superior to her, and there are empress dowagers and concubines of the princes on top, so they are naturally trying to curry favor, who will come and see The difficulty of an old matriarch of the Rongguo Mansion?

Jia's mother was also sad in her heart, and she hated, since the old man left, their life has become more and more difficult. If the old man is still here, who would dare to despise her?It's a pity that the eldest son she is least optimistic about is the one who succeeds the noble. If Zheng'er succeeds the noble, with his integrity, he can make the Jia family superior no matter what. How can it be like Jia She, a worthless person... Thinking again, it's a pity today The imperial concubine did not attend the table, otherwise, who would dare not curry favor with her?Wait until Jia's family wakes up...

There is also some uncertainty in my heart.

Today, there is a big election every five years, and a small election every three years. With all these orders, who doesn't have a relative or daughter in the palace?Even Concubine Yuan, who brought infinite glory to Jia's family, entered the palace as a court lady back then. Although she became a concubine now, which proved that Jia's mother's investment was right, she was branded as a slave after all.

A well-behaved girl's family is sent to the palace to be a servant, so what if she gains power now?The most indispensable thing in the palace is a woman of noble background, talented and beautiful.

After all, Yuanchun is not too young.

And the empress dowager laughed with the female relatives: "Next year is the general election, right? If there is any good girl in the family, don't hide it. I just want to have a few more beautiful girls to talk and have fun together." .”

In next year's general election, the concubine may not be the one chosen. Don't the sixth prince and the seventh prince have no concubines yet?There are even a few older princes, the position of side concubine is not full, and there are a few sons of princes... What's more, the emperor is still young. Not counting as wronging my own girl, the minds of many of the family members began to become active.

The queen pursed her lips and smiled: "That's right, this palace should be a little more fresh."

Compared with the empress dowager, the empress never envied the concubines in the palace. When the emperor was the prince, she begged the side concubines by herself. We are not too young, just look at the young and beautiful girls!"

When Jia's mother heard it, she only felt that it was quite meaningful, but she didn't quite understand it, but she murmured in her heart, Yuanchun seems to be not too young.

However, didn't the empress only give birth to the ninth son in her twenties?It's a pity that the little prince didn't have much luck, his only role was probably to move the old saint after being thrown to death by the saint, right?Many people said that the lack of a child in the harem so far was probably due to the little prince's resentment.But in the end, Yuan Chun came out of the Queen's Palace, and he was on good terms with Concubine Hua, so she got a little prince, so wouldn't it be bad for the Queen?

While thinking about what the queen meant, Mother Jia realized that perhaps the queen felt that Yuan Chun was not as easy to control as those rookies?It seems that the next time I pay my respects to the empress, I should remind my empress and tell her to express her sincerity to the empress when she has time.

Looking at the ladies at the table again, he couldn't help thinking about what the previous court would say today.Don't mention anything else, the old sage's birthday, at least the Zhen family's ransacking of the house must be wiped out, right?King Zhongshun and their four kings and eight princes have mentioned before that when the old sage is here, these old ministers will be there. It is the old sage who has gone to face the Buddha.

At that time, only the king of Beijing, Shui Rong, didn't know whether it was possible or not.Recently, he has become more and more distant from the old minister. After all, he is a young man, unable to hold his breath, and he was probably deceived by Lin Mo's rhetoric.

Mother Jia couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

When I was able to go back to the mansion, I heard that there was such a big event, and Jia's mother became angry for a while, and hurriedly called Jia Zhen and Jia Zheng to come to discuss it.
