[Comprehensive Wear] It's hard to be a princess

In the 17th year of Qianyuan, Beijing and China are now discussing the prince's marriage.Tu Jingchen was already sixteen years old. The oldest, Tu Jingping, just got married a few years ago. He married the daughter of Jinxiang Hou Han's family. Later, he was made king of Yu County and left the palace to start a mansion. The prince, Tu Jingning, has already decided on a marriage, the daughter of Zuo Du Yushi's family, and now he has also been canonized as the king of Xunjun, and when he gets married, he will leave the palace and start the mansion.

The first two princes have already married and become kings, so naturally it will be Tu Jingchen's turn!Emperor Qianyuan really loved his son, and he was extremely picky about the princess. He thought a lot. The princess must have all four corners. The standard for choosing a future queen is to choose a princess for his son, and then he always feels dissatisfied. Those who come from a higher family feel a little arrogant and have a good temperament, but also feel that their appearance is a little lacking. A lot of people came out, and Emperor Qianyuan always felt that there were some shortcomings.

This is also unavoidable. In Tu Jingchen, Emperor Qianyuan was both a father and a mother. At the moment, it is strange that a widow who has been widowed for many years wants to marry a son who feels that she is very good. It's all good, no kind of good girl is good enough for her, and besides, she feels that her son is about to be snatched away by his daughter-in-law when he gets married.

However, as a prince, he was going to get married anyway, if Tu Jingchen didn't settle the marriage sooner, the following princes wouldn't be able to get married either.Therefore, Emperor Qianyuan chose round after round among a group of courtiers and honorable nobles, and finally finally selected the person.It was decided to be the granddaughter of Mr. Zhang's family, that is, Zhang Anyuan's cousin.The Zhang family has a high status among civil officials, and they are also related by marriage to the Xie family who came from the Yuan Dynasty. Of course, in this generation, it is already far away. Since Mr. Xie passed away, the Zhang family is now the leader among civil officials. up.

After getting engaged, Mr. Zhang wrote a letter requesting to be appointed as the chief assistant of the cabinet. After going through the process of three speeches and three concessions, Emperor Qianyuan agreed. Born as a minister, the Zhang family took the initiative to vote after Taiu became king. Later, after the founding of the country, the Zhang family was also granted the position of an earl, but now this title has come to an end.However, the Zhang family is not a military general, and they don't live on the title. Their family has been a civil servant since the beginning of the dragon, so the title is just icing on the cake for their family.Since the founding of the Zhang family, there have been people in each generation who have been admitted to Jinshi. However, their family has always been sensible. When someone in the family is in the center, the others are just outside or working in some Qingshui yamen.For example, Mr. Zhang’s four sons, two won Jinshi, and two were not incompetent, but they stopped when they passed the exam. The last one was in charge of family education in his hometown, and the other was helping to take care of the house. General business.Two of them were Jinshi, one was released after staying in the Imperial Academy for a few years, and the other is now studying history in the Imperial Academy. If you don’t pay attention to these things, you can hardly find the presence of the Zhang family.

However, although Mr. Zhang retired, he was granted the title of Prince Taifu, so no one can really despise the Zhang family.The two sons of the Zhang family did not appear in the court hall of the Daming Palace. Zhang Xiuli, the eldest son of the Zhang family, is still working outside, and is only a fourth-rank now. The other son, Zhang Xiuwen, is still a sixth-rank editor. He wants to give the prince a good Yue family, so he intends to reuse the Zhang family brothers. However, although they are not young anymore, they are still young in the court, so it is not a bad thing to have a few more years of experience.

However, in comparison, the prince's Yue family seemed a bit flashy, which immediately caused many people to think a little bit.

"Master, do you mean to let Xi'er marry Zhang's daughter?" A few years ago, when Jia Yuan passed away, Jia Daishan officially took over the title of Duke Rong, and Shi finally moved into the main room of Rongxi Hall. Mrs. Shi is still there. Although Shi is dissatisfied with this mother-in-law in various ways, she dare not show any negligence on the surface. Fortunately, Mrs. Tai is not a troublesome person. Married off several concubines, all of them were married far away, and they all looked like officials, but in fact there were some inappropriate things.It's just that the Jia family originally valued concubines over concubines, and the marriage of children was always ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker. In fact, the grandma, Mrs. Tai, didn't have much room to intervene. Besides, Jia Daishan, her own father, didn't care about it herself. The grandmother is also separated by a layer, even if it is blocked once, there will be another time, there is no need to make Shi's pair hate the concubine daughters even more, so she just puts more makeup on the concubine daughters, and waits until they get married. , and gave them a sum of money at the bottom of the box, and there was nothing else she could do.However, Mrs. Tai didn't want Shi to intervene in Jia She's marriage. If there is another pros and cons, there will be further delays. At that time, the good girls will be picked up by others, so Jia Daishan has been told early.

As a result, Jia Daishan searched around, and finally set his sights on the daughter of the Zhang family, who is the cousin of the future princess, who is the eldest daughter of the third wife of the Zhang family.Jia Daishan's idea was very simple. The Zhang family had a profound heritage. If the Zhang family hadn't owed Jia Daishan a favor before, no matter what, this marriage would not have been possible.The Zhang family has almost never been married to the Wu Xun family. The main reason is that many Wu Xun families are very careless, and they have different ways and do not conspire with each other. There will inevitably be some conflicts in the future, so it is better to keep a respectful distance.But for the Jia family, although they are not in a hurry to transform now, for example, Jia Amnesty, if there are no accidents in the future, at least they can inherit the title of earl, but the next generation, the so-called gentleman's luster, will be cut off in five generations. Not to mention that it will be difficult for future generations to have the perseverance to learn how to join the army, even if they are willing to join the army, they must have the opportunity to make contributions.Jia Daishan doesn’t read much, but under normal circumstances, a dynasty has a history of about 300 years. The first 50 years lay the foundation. Two or three generations of emperors in the middle can enjoy the prosperity, and then slowly decline. Now the prosperity has begun. Under such circumstances, even if there is any war, it is still that kind of partial, and it is not easy to make contributions!Therefore, transformation is a must. Instead of begging grandpa to sue grandma, it is better to plan ahead now and get married with a scholarly family.Such a family, even if they are down for a while, as long as they can still pass the imperial examination, there will always be a time to get up.

Shi's thinking is different, she already knows now that she wants her second son to inherit the title of Duke Rong, unless Jia She died or made some unforgivable mistake. It is possible for Jia Zheng to attack the noble.But the possibility of this kind of thing is really too small. Although Jia She said that he was not very interested in studying, Jia Zheng could not be considered a challenger. Shi said all day long that Jia Zheng could study, but he went back to Jinling before. Participated in the Tongsheng Examination, but in the end he didn't even pass the county examination.There is no way, if it is a remote place, even if Jia Zheng can only memorize it by rote, the county test is fine, but the problem is that Jinling is so prosperous in literature, and the county test requires crafting, and Jia Zheng has nothing to gain Sir, I am also a dead-headed person, so the solution to the problem is completely wrong. The Jia family in Jinling is certainly influential, but after all, it is also a place where the capital was once, and the Jia family cannot act recklessly. If it is for this Pointing to fame and making a name for cheating in the imperial examination is really going to kill future generations!Therefore, Jia Zheng came back sadly in the end, and Jia Daishan also understood that if his family wants to transform, it really has a long way to go.

On the contrary, it was the Ningguo Mansion next door. Because of Mrs. Tai's favor back then, Jia Jing won the first battle and was selected as a scholar.Therefore, things like imperial examinations are based on talent on the one hand and hard work on the other. However, the guidance of a master is also very important. No one will explain the key points to you. It is already a blessing to be admitted to the scholar!This is especially the case in the south of the Yangtze River, where the style of writing is prosperous, ordinary citizens can read scripts, and rural people, even if they have a little money, will enlighten their children and grandchildren to study. The common people have to go out to work during the slack season, and if you do work, whether you know a craft, or you can write and count, there is always an advantage.It can be said that when it comes to studying, the area in the south of the Yangtze River is really very introverted. With Jia Zheng's hard-headedness, it really depends on luck if he wants to pass the Tongsheng exam.

Jia Daishan didn't have too many expectations for Jia Zheng. After all, he is still a prince, so it is not a problem to find a similar future for his second son. Therefore, if Jia Zheng can pass the exam, he will not be able to pass the exam. What.Shi Shi doesn't think that her youngest son is incapable, she just thinks that his youngest son is unlucky.

Shi Shi is also a caring person, no matter how much she likes her younger son, but if the younger son cannot inherit the title, she will still have to rely on her elder son in the future, so she hopes to have a caring daughter-in-law, preferably from her natal family My niece or something is really not good, and the daughters of other relatives in the family are also fine.As a result, Jia Daishan actually wanted to marry Zhang's daughter to Jia She, which immediately frustrated Shi's hopes.

The daughter of the Zhang family selected by Jia Dai Shan said that her father was a Juren, but she grew up with the old lady Fu and his wife, and she has a very good relationship with the future princess. If we really want to talk about this marriage, it is all Jia's high-ranking, no Do you know how many people want to be brother-in-law with the prince!Shi wanted to be picky, but couldn't pick it up, so he said: "She'er is fine with other things. She has never paid much attention to reading, no more than Zheng'er. She has always liked reading. A daughter of the Zhang family, she can get along with Sheer. Huh? Don’t make a mess at that time! She’er will marry a daughter of a noble family in the future, but Zheng’er is going to take the imperial examination, or let Zheng’er marry her?”

Jia Daishan frowned immediately, and said: "Although the daughter of the Zhang family said her father was white, but what kind of family is the Zhang family, if Zheng'er is as respectful as the elder brother in Dongfu, then I would have the cheek to ask for it, but Zheng'er even Tong Sheng is not so, how can the Zhang family like it! She'er has been classmates with his elder brother for many years, and the relationship has always been harmonious, otherwise, even with the favor of the past, this matter would not be possible!" What Jia Daishan didn't say was that the Zhang family became After the in-laws, the resources that can be allocated to the Jia family are also limited. Although Jia Zheng is his own son, when Jia pardons him, he will be a side branch of the Rongguo Mansion. Good things are not reserved for the direct lineage, but for the side branch. Just kidding!
