Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Jia Hu didn't feel much about this, instead of being the number one scholar, but just Tanhua. Among the top three, the number one scholar Tanhua has always been the two most eye-catching. Sometimes, Tanhua is even more popular than the number one scholar. As long as It has no impact on his official career, and Jia Hu doesn't care about his ranking.

Successfully fulfilling his wish and competing with Tang Bin, Jia Hu was already satisfied. After the emperor contemplated announcing the candidate for the number one scholar, he immediately ordered Jia Huru Hanlin Academy. Jia Hu knew that the emperor might not have a good impression of him. Alright, otherwise, among the top three, only the No. [-] scholar was appointed to the Imperial Academy at that time, and the No. [-] candidate did not have such an honor. Now the emperor broke the rules and promoted him, which shows that he has indeed left a good impression on the emperor.

This is a good thing.Jia Hu is very satisfied with the current situation.

Please resign, all the students are disciples of the Son of Heaven at this moment, this year's Jinshi and No. [-] is a gentle man in his thirties from Hunan. His surname is Kang and his name is Guangji. He is a son of the Kang family, a local rich family in Changde, Hunan. , but now this generation has declined a bit. It can be seen that this Kang Guangji is ambitious. He came out of the main hall, so he came up to Tang Bin and Jia Hu: "Congratulations to Mr. Tang and Mr. Jia, now we are also considered It's the same year, in Xiakang Guangji, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Tang Bin and Jia Hu have been admitted to the Imperial Academy, so he is considered to be an official, not Bai Ding. When Kang Guangji yelled out "Master", a trace of jealousy flashed across his eyes.He was also in the top three, but he was second in the list, but he didn't get anything and had to wait for the follow-up order.Although it is absolutely impossible for him to be ranked second in the list no matter what, it is absolutely impossible that he will not be appointed, but the difference between the appointment of officials and the appointment of the emperor is very different, so why can't Kang Guangji feel uncomfortable?

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Tang Bin and Jia Hu had to say hello to such a smiling Kang Guangji: "Young Master Kang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

However, Tang Bin's temperament is the most arbitrary. If he is unhappy, he will never force himself to greet the other party. In addition, after the exam, his physical discomfort returned again. Forget it, ignoring Kang Guangji who was standing aside, Tang Bin raised his hand to Jia Hu: "This time, I would like to thank Mr. Jia. Next time, if you have time, I will prepare a banquet, and please Mr. Jia to show respect."

Jia Hu knew about his body, so he didn't feel neglected, so he just nodded with a smile and said, "Your Majesty Tang, you are welcome, I will take it with you for a long time."

"Okay, refreshing." Tang Bin laughed loudly, "Then wait until then, we won't go home until we're drunk." After finishing speaking, he nodded to Kang Guangji and left.Along the way, many Jinshi greeted him, but he just nodded and did not stop.

How crazy!Jealousy flashed across Kang Guangji's face, and he deeply felt that he had been neglected.He was also in the top three, he was so polite to Jia Hu and Tang Bin, and even made an appointment for the next drink, to himself, it was just a nod, a joke, everyone was in the same year, did he still think he had a higher status than himself? !Looking back at Jia Hu, he smiled nonchalantly and said, "Master Tang and Master Jia are old friends? Zhuangyuan Lang and Mr. Tanhua have a deep friendship, and it's a good thing to spread the word."

Jia Hu still smiled gently, watching Tang Bin go away, just pretending that he didn't see the anger hidden in Kang Guangji's eyes, such a person, he didn't intend to have a close friendship, and it was just perfunctory. "He and I don't know each other, but we met today, and I helped him out at random. Mr. Tang is too polite, such a trivial matter, it's not worth taking it to heart." Without waiting for Kang Guangji to repeat, he smiled and followed Gu Ziyi, the Erjia Biography of Jiaxing, said hello, "Wei Qiong, long time no see. I wonder how Uncle Gu Shi is doing? You have been here in Beijing for a long time, and everyone has been busy and have no contact. Come out for a cup of tea together some other day?" Gu Ziyi Gu Shilang, the uncle of the family, is Xu Wei's good friend. He was also the guest of honor when Jia Hu visited his teacher, but last year his old mother passed away, and Ding You returned to his hometown in Jiaxing.Gu Ziyi didn't come to Beijing many times, but the two met a few times, but they didn't have a deep friendship.

But in the past, it didn't matter if you were white. Now that everyone is an official in the same dynasty, some relationships still need to be established.Gu Ziyi immediately smiled warmly and said, "It's Zifang. It's been a long time. Uncle is in good health. Now that you are Tanhua Lang, you are still willing to invite me to drink tea. I just wish for it."

The two chatted enthusiastically, so Kang Guangji had to be neglected, but he was thick-skinned, so he pretended not to see Jia Hu and Gu Ziyi's alienation, but Jia Hu and Gu Ziyi were both elites from the official family. It depends on whether they agree or not. Since the plan failed, the two talked and laughed for a while, and only said that they wanted to announce the good news when they got home. They apologized and left.

It was boring for Kang Guangji to be the boss, and spat hard at the backs of the two of them, what is it, isn't it because there are people in the family, and sooner or later, he will let the Kang family flourish in his hands, and when the time comes, No one dared to underestimate his Kang family!

Jia Hu doesn't care what Kang Guangji thinks, he doesn't have a good impression of this man, and he never thought of wronging himself to make friends with him. To put it bluntly, Kang Guangji, a local squire, came second, and now he doesn't have the capital to let him put down his figure and go against himself I made friends with him.

All the way out of the main hall, through the corridor, Jia Hu went out of the palace gate, and saw a familiar carriage parked there from a distance, Han Yan sat on the rut, stretched his neck and stared at the palace gate, seeing him coming out, hurriedly Jumped out of the carriage.

Jia Hu's heart warmed, and he stepped up and approached. Han Yan greeted him with a smile and said, "I've heard about it. That's right, Zifang. From now on, you'll be Tanhualang. Tsk tsk, you are a gentleman with a good family background." , I still have the ability, the ladies and gentlemen in Beijing are not going to fight for it now."

Jia Hubai said to him: "You kid is crazy about wanting to marry a wife. You are talking about everything. If you are interested, go back and tell your family that I will also choose a wife for you. Let the news out. Fuck you. The threshold has to be leveled.”

If it wasn't for being at the gate of the palace at this time, Han Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter: "That's right, although I don't have the ability to scout Hualang like you, but the conditions are good. Of course, I have to choose a wife."

The door curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Tu Youhao poked his head out, facing Han Yan's reckless smile, and said with blood, "When they know your lazy nature, no matter how good the conditions are, you will scare them away." Hu got into the car, "You are in high school today, we will send you back."

Jia Hu laughed, and Han Yan, who was jumping up and down in anger, stepped on the low stool and got into the car.Han Yan hurriedly followed, and when he sat down, he did not forget to avenge himself: "I am not lazy, but I am really impatient to compete with those people for petty profits. I will drop the price first! No matter how you say it, I am too The well-known young talent in Beijing is not comparable to Zifang, but he is also one of the best, when the time comes for the draft, Your Highness, you have to help me choose a good one."

Tu Youhao coolly picked up the jug and filled it for the three of them, and flatly refused, "Do you need my help for this kind of thing done by three aunts and six wives? Do you think I am so like a matchmaker? Let your mother and grandmother go, they I look forward to your marriage until my eyes are green."

Speaking of them, Han Yan couldn't help but smile wryly: "That's not as good as Your Highness, it's really like what Your Highness said, in their eyes, I am worthy of being a Nine Heavens Fairy, as if I don't have any problems, I always plan to give it to you." I'll pick a perfect one. How can there be such a good thing in this world? What kind of virtues do I have? Others don't know, but you don't know? I tried to persuade you a few times, but they were rejected. I was worried that they would finally find me someone Come back without worrying." If that's the case, it's better for Tu Youhao to help you find someone casually.

In the eyes of Mrs. Han's second wife, Mrs. Han, her son (grandson) is a perfect person without any flaws. No matter what he does, it is right and good. Even if there is something wrong, it is someone else's. It was prompted by the servants.In this world, a son can match the best girl. Mrs. Han was old when she gave birth to Han Yan. Madam can bear it too, until Han Yan entered the genealogy at the age of six, did she start counting the eldest son of the concubine. The trick was successful, he fell from the horse, and died on the spot. Second Master Han naturally refused to let it go, but he couldn't find any evidence. The concubine kept making noises, and in the end Mrs. When he went to Mrs. Han's place, he was sent far away to Zhuangzi.Over the years, Master Han Er has always had a heart-to-heart with Mrs. Han Er, and he doesn't like Han Yan. On the contrary, he is very kind to Han Yan's two concubine brothers, even if it is for the sake of suppressing the two concubine sons for a lifetime. First, Mrs. Han Er will definitely find a noble daughter-in-law for Han Yan to be his wife, so that those concubines can see what it means to be a concubine.

But among those noble ladies, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp?The family background is good, the waist is also hard, and there are few people who take their in-laws' family seriously?Han Yan felt shuddering when he thought about it, it might as well be a little lower in family status, and he would be good-tempered if he married into the family. Mrs. Han's wish to marry a noble daughter, this kind of thing will definitely happen, Han Yan doesn't want to beg the Yue family in the future, and be short in front of his wife!

However, it will be difficult for his wish to come true... Han Yan sighed, his mother is the niece of his grandmother's natal family, so his grandmother has always favored him. Brother and aunt, looking at him, I'm afraid there will be more venom in his eyes.

You Hao, Jia Hu’s disciple, might as well have poked at his sadness, exchanged glances, and finally could only comfort him: "They are also wholeheartedly for your own good, and use their methods to secure your position, for fear that you will suffer losses in the future." Jinxianghou The family has not been separated yet, and Han Yan has the support of Mrs. Han, and the second master Han has a high official position. Naturally, he lives a good life. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of him much, and Han Yan can't study by himself, so it's no wonder that Mrs. Han and Mrs. Han put their ideas on Han Yan's future wife.

Han Yan muffled: "I know they are kind to me." It was because of this kindness that he found it even more difficult to deal with.If it's malicious, just go straight to it, but it's such a deep love, it's okay for Han Yan to marry a wife he doesn't like, and he is even more afraid of Mrs. Han's pick and choose behavior, which will end up annoyed People offend people.They really think their son is something sweet and sweet, and they are also picky about other girls.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Jia Hu and Tu Youhao can't interfere with the situation in Han Yan's family. Seeing him in such distress, Tu Youhao frowned: "I've never seen you worry like this before. What happened?"

Han Yan knew that on his own, he would never be able to hide the truth from these two people who are smart at best, but cunning and shrewd at worst, so he said together: "I just found out yesterday that my grandmother intends to ask Xia's family for help." begging."

The only Xia family in the capital that can be called the Xia family and make people realize immediately is the emperor's most beloved concubine Shu's natal family and the second prince's uncle's family.Especially in the past two years, the second prince got married and led the errand, the noble concubine Shu doted on the harem, the Xia family was flourishing, and the old lady Han wanted to marry a woman from the Xia family for her grandson...

Jia Hu hesitated for a moment, then asked Tu Youhao's ugly face, "Your grandmother, mother, who is asking to marry..."

Han Yan let out another long sigh, bitter as coptis: "Master Xia Zheng Xia's second daughter."

Now even Tu Youhao, who was originally displeased, couldn't help being startled: "Your grandmother and mother have such a big appetite, Xia Zheng is the most capable person in the Xia family now, it can be said that apart from Mr. Xia, the Xia family is faintly headed by him." Concubine Shu has always believed in him, and his eldest daughter even married into Prince Yi's mansion as the eldest concubine, but your grandmother wants to ask you to marry his second daughter?"

Han Yan explained weakly: "I only listened to them when they were talking, and I don't know if they are right, but Miss Xia is right..."

Guiltyly afraid to look at Tu Youhao, "I was looking for an opportunity to talk to His Highness today, but I caught up with Second Highness and persuaded the Emperor to give meals to the scholars... I didn't mean to keep it a secret."

When Jia Hu heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she asked in surprise, "The second prince actually persuaded the emperor to give him food? The emperor also agreed?" The emperor supported him behind his back, and everything went smoothly in the court. There are many supporters, but now they even intervene in the Jinshi of Jinke?It is such an honor for the emperor to give the meal. If the scholars know that it was proposed by the second prince, they will feel grateful... It is impossible for the emperor not to know this, but he still granted the request of the second prince. What an honor... He subconsciously looked at Tu Youhao, and sure enough, his face was extremely ugly.

The carriage drove all the way, and the three of them sat in the carriage without speaking for a long time, leaving only two voices of common people getting louder and louder.

Han Yan fidgeted restlessly and secretly winked at Jia Hu. Jia Hu only told him to be calm and calm. After so many years of friendship, he didn't know what kind of temperament Tu Youhao had. He looked indifferent, but in reality he was emotional, and he put it in his heart As long as you don't betray him, he will never treat you badly.Sure enough, after a while, I heard Tu Youhao say: "Since you don't want to marry a girl from the Xia family, you can find a way to delay it for two months, and the draft will be in two months, and then I will help you to show your face to the emperor." , you fight for the grace of marriage, forgive your mother and grandmother, there is no way to object."

Han Yanzheng couldn't get what he wanted, and immediately said happily: "Thank you, Your Highness, then I will trouble Your Highness to worry about it."

Tu Youhao didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he came out with him, and ended up with a big burden on himself, and had to think about how to find him a gentle and virtuous girl to match him, so as to attract the attention of his father... How many times has it been, this kid Han Yan, why has he been so troublesome all the time, and finally got involved with him!

Tu Youhao took out a small jar of wine from the lower part of the carriage and handed it to Jia Hu: "I originally planned to celebrate your high school admission, but it turned out that such a bad thing happened..." He stared fiercely Han Yan, Han Yan laughed foolishly, the corners of Tu Youhao's mouth twitched, and he ignored him, only let Jia Hu accept the wine, "I'm afraid your family has prepared a banquet for you, this is the best wine in the palace, it's okay to take it back." Have a taste with General Jia's wife."

Jia Hu accepted his favor: "It will be a while before I go to the Hanlin Academy to be on duty. After the Qionglin banquet, I have a long rest. Let's go to Zhuangzi for a day. You can go back after the palace gate is released. The three of us Let's get together again when the children arrive."

Han Yan interrupted without seeing it: "Zifang, you have passed the exam, uncle and aunt don't rush to pick a daughter-in-law for you to prepare for the wedding, do you have time?"

Jia Hu imitated Tu Youhao's sneer and sneered at him, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak!

Tu Youhao chuckled lightly: "Come on, there's no need to make an appointment, just send someone a message when you're free, and I'll be fine." Anyway, he doesn't have a errand now, and he doesn't go to the study very often, so he has a lot of time Gotta be.

Jia Hu could see the steadfastness in his eyes, and what else to say, the coachman whispered in front: "Your Highness, two sons, the Rongguo Mansion is here."

Tu Youhao stopped what he was going to say, and drove him down: "Today is your happy day, don't think too much, hurry up and announce the good news to Mrs. Jia, and we will talk about other things later." Pushing down the carriage, he ordered the driver to leave quickly. After a while, the carriage disappeared around the corner...

The Rongguo Mansion had already been decorated with lights and festoons. Jia Hu hugged the wine jar, smiled and shook his head, turned around and walked towards the Rongguo Mansion. The servant at the door shouted happily and ran over: "Master is back, congratulations, Mr. Tanhualang!"

The servants came out with firecrackers to light them up, and the sound of crackling explosions immediately rang through the ears. Jia Hu let go of his worries, and greeted Jia She, who came out laughing all the way, "My son greets his father, and finally he has lived up to his father for many years." teach……"

Amidst the deafening sound of firecrackers, Jia She's face blossomed with a smile...
