[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Mrs. Bu had just sat down and asked Mrs. Xing about Ann and said a few gossips when Jia Yan came back with Xichun.Mrs. Xing hurriedly brought Mrs. Pu to greet her.Jia Yanxichun greeted Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Pu, and then said: "Sister Yun likes to laugh and play. The old lady has her alone than ten of me and my fourth sister. And it's almost noon. My four sisters and I My younger sister wants to take a nap first, so I came back first."

Mrs. Bu hurriedly said: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have come here at this time to disturb the rest of the wife and the girl."

Jia Yan looked at Mrs. Xing with a smile, and said, "Sister-in-law, what's the point?" After a pause, she asked the nanny to take Xichun, who was sleepy, to rest, and then invited Mrs. Xing to sit down. Then he turned around and said softly to Bu Shi: "It's my fault, please forgive me, fifth sister-in-law."

After speaking, he stood up and apologized to Mr. Bu.

How dare Mr. Bu accept her gift?Hastily stopped.

"The girl is serious. It turned out to be me..."

Jia Yan said: "To be honest, this matter also involves sisters Shi and Lin. At a young level, it is a little girl's quarrel. At an older level, it is the tutors of the Lin family, the Shi family, and our family. Later, I told my sister-in-law to listen, and please don't spread it to the outside world."

Mrs. Bu hurriedly swore that she would never spread it.

Jia Yan briefly explained to Mrs. Bu what happened just now in front of Jia Mu, and said: "...so, I just had a quarrel with Sister Shi, and I don't feel comfortable sitting by the old lady's side, so I resigned early. Although I have at least half of the reason for this matter, Sister Shi is a guest and a younger sister. She is four years younger than me, and I am ashamed to make trouble. Please don't mind my sister-in-law I just took offense."

Mrs. Bu said again and again: "Where is it? My sister respects me as a sister-in-law, so she will tell me the truth."

Jia Yan just laughed.

She has a very good impression of Jia Yun in the original novel, so she loves Wu and Wu, and she doesn't have a bad feeling for Bu Shi.Therefore, she will not repeat the words of "Xin Bushi".

She smiled and said: "I remember that Yun'er is already fifteen now, right? Can you get the household registration? The family education, the father knows, and the wife also knows. I think, my sister-in-law has always been very strong, easy to ask for others, today Will you come, but for Yun'er?"

When Bu Shi heard it, there was a door.

She was thinking about how to speak, but now that Jia Yan has said that, she can't care about anything else.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and the son is the biggest.

Not to mention giving up her face, even if she lost her life, as long as she was kind to her son, she would be willing to do so!

Bu Shi said: "It's my sister after all, she saw through my intention at a glance. It was indeed for Yun'er. I can't do anything about it. Anyway, Yun'er is 16 years old, and now she has lost her desire to study and make progress. So I wanted to ask for an idea.”

Jia Yan immediately looked up at Mrs. Xing, and seeing that Mrs. Xing did not object, she said, "Since my sister-in-law has said so, then I will tell the truth to my sister-in-law. Yun'er is just a young man, and he is also a decent man of our Jia family." The most taboo thing for my father is to use the men in the family as managers. Let alone me, even my wife, if I violate this taboo, the master will not show any kindness. Therefore, this matter has to be returned to my father first. That's good. How about, my sister-in-law will come again tomorrow, okay?"

When Bu Shi just listened to half of it, he thought that there was no chance at all, until he had listened to all of it, and after thinking about it again, he was overjoyed.

Mrs. Jia Zheng Wang used the Jia family's men as slaves, this is what Pu's most dissatisfied with.But in order to make a living, at that time, even if you don't have a hard heart, you can't do it.Jia Yan said so, presumably Jia Amnesty had already made arrangements.It's just that Jia She is a decent lord in this mansion, if Jia She doesn't like Jia Yun, then she can only find another way, but if Jia Yun falls into Jia She's eyes, she might just soar into the sky!

Although I don't know what kind of future the son will have in the future, it is definitely better than what their mother and son can seek.

For their mother and son, what dissatisfaction is there?

Bu's thanks again and again.

Because Mrs. Xing and Jia Yan still had to take a nap, she got up early to leave.

Mrs. Bu left, but Mrs. Xing was not calm anymore.She sat up straight and said to Jia Yan: "Second girl, you have already made up your mind?"

Jia Yan said with a smile: "Mother, in fact, my daughter has been thinking about it with the two Fengyis for several months. The first one just made the charter, and I haven't had time to report to my parents."

"What charter?"

"Mother, this dynasty is different from the previous dynasty. In the previous dynasty, the concubines in the palace were selected from the folk to guard against foreign relatives. Therefore, many merchants and families in the folk were granted titles because of their daughters. However, this dynasty has learned from the Tang and Song Dynasties. If we talk about the difference between this dynasty and the previous dynasty, it is that the former dynasty became rich because of daughters, but this dynasty has high-ranking concubines because of rich families."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xing was already nodding.

She admitted that if it was placed in the previous dynasty, if Xue Pan hadn't been involved, Xue Baochai would most likely enter the palace and become a concubine, but the girls of the Jia family would have no chance at all.But the rules of this dynasty are opposite to those of the previous dynasty. Which of the queens of this dynasty was not born into a wealthy family?Those women who are concubines as soon as they enter the palace, which one is not from a powerful family?

If it wasn't for the credit of sweet potatoes, Jia Yan would have to climb up from the 81 imperial wife even if he was hired into the palace.Being able to become Jieyu within a year has already been the face of the Supreme Emperor and the Jia family for several lifetimes.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing couldn't help but said: "It's a pity. Your father is only a first-class general now, and your brother has just entered the officialdom. The family can help you, it is really limited."

"It's good for my daughter to tell me." Jia Yan said with a smile, "Mother, even though this dynasty is relatively loose, there are still precautions against foreign relatives, but it's not so obvious. Therefore, the high-ranking concubine comes from a high-ranking family. It is true that there are big families, but there are not many of these families who hold real power. If you want my daughter to say that it is just right for my family, my father is a lord, and my brother's official position is not high. If my daughter enters the palace in the future, it will not be easy to become a target. But At present, the elder brother is an official in the family, so it seems a little thin, and Cong'er is still young, seeing how my sister-in-law behaves, I don't know if I am lucky enough to see my nephew born at home!"

Jia Yan knew very well that only when the men in the family strive for success can they become wealthy and it is easier to produce concubines.The men in the family are not up to date, and it is useless for the women to jump to the sky.

Rather than looking for fish in the abyss like Xue Baochai, it is better to retreat and form a net, and first train a few members of the Jia family.

When she enters the palace in the future, the Jia family will no longer be the same as in the original book, only Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, and Jia Rong, who have official positions, will stay at home and eat their own food, but will stand out and have seven or eight officials with official positions. , and then ten or eight years later, there will be five or six magistrates standing out. At that time, who would underestimate the Jia family, and who would dare to underestimate her?

In the original book, Jia Yuanchun's life in the palace is difficult. Is it because the men of Jia's family are incompetent, and all the prosperity and wealth of the whole family are hung on her skirt?

But Mrs. Xing was still worried: "But what if these people pass your brother?"

Jia Yan said with a smile: "Madam, please don't worry. Why is my brother my own brother and my father's own son? No one can lose him if he loses. As for the clansmen, unless they have the ability to enter the examination and become a Jinshi Jiji is even the top three tripods, otherwise, even if they win the same Jinshi, they will not be able to surpass elder brother."

The same Jinshi who passed the exam might as well take the subjects of Ming arithmetic and Mingjing.

Jia Yan's plan is to let the members of the Jia family go to Ming Shu Ke Ming Jing Ke.

Who made "fifty young Jinshi, thirty old Mingjing" popular in official circles?This sentence means that it is too early to pass the Jinshi examination at the age of 50, and it is too late to pass the Mingjing examination at the age of 30.

Ask Jia Yan to say that if the members of the Jia family can pass the Ming Shuan Ke Ming Jing Ke at the age of 30, they will have 50 years more official experience than the 20-year-old Jinshi, and with the backing of the Jia family, those 50-year-old When the new Scholars were still seeking connections for Hou Que, their Jia family had already done a solid job in the positions of magistrate and county magistrate.

Even if it is the default in the official circles that non-jinshi are not allowed to join the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, the Ming Jing Ke Ming Suan Ke can only be a big official like the governor of each province at most, and it will not work any further.But every time 300 people are selected for Jinshi, how many people can finally become the big officials of the frontier?

If you want Jia Yan to say, like the Jia family, since they have decided to send their daughter to the palace, then it is more in the interest of the Jia family for the members of the Jia family to take the Ming Suan Ke and Ming Jing Ke, and they can also put their status as The resources of the Jia family, the home of the four princes and eight lords, are used in real terms.

At night, Jia Amnesty also knew about Jia Yan's plan.

As the only person in the Jia family other than Jia Jing who has been educated by a serious heir, Jia Amnesty can see the benefits of this at a glance.

However, Jia Amnesty was still hesitant about the candidate.

It's not that he hesitated, but that he was really worried about the character of the Jia family.

After learning about Jia Amnesty's worries, Jia Yan also smiled.

"Father, if you change to someone else's house, you might have to worry about it, but if you put it in a house like ours, why worry about it?"

As he spoke, he said so and so in Jia Shen's ear.

Jia Amnesty nodded repeatedly.

For Jia Amnesty, he is not short of money, and the Jia family also has money.

It's just 1000 taels of silver.Putting it in someone else’s home, 1000 taels of silver is a lot of money, and it’s only so much money to donate a Dragon Guard to the children of the family. In exchange for the trust and mutual support of a person in exchange for the trust and mutual support in the next few decades, this deal is more cost-effective than anything else.

The author has something to say: the setting of the harem in this article:

Queen, alone.

Three nobles: nobleman, noble concubine, and noble concubine, corresponding to the three palaces, that is, the third wife.

Six concubines: Concubine Xian, Concubine De, Concubine Shu, Concubine Yi, Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, corresponding to the Six Courts.

Nine concubines: Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Shuyi, Shurong, Shuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, and Chongyuan.

Jieyu: There is no quota.The default is full of 27 people, that is, 27 wives.

Baolin, Cairen, and Cainu: There is no quota. By default, these three ranks are full of 81 people, collectively known as 81 royal wives.Among them, Cainu is the lowest position among the concubines hired into the palace.

Selection of servants: After the maids are favored, they are first selected as servants, and then they climb up the ladder.

Xiapei female officials: In the old system of the Song Dynasty (the record is in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty), after the palace servants received favors, before they had time to make gowns, arrange the palace rooms and serve the maids, they first gave colored cloaks to distinguish them from other palace ladies.Because the founding emperor here was a fan of the Tang and Song Dynasties, he had the post of Xiapei female official. In fact, the girl's hair bun of the palace maid was replaced with a woman's bun, and a colorful drape was worn on the arm to show that the palace maid was actually the emperor. meaning of a woman.It is also the lowest-level concubine, lower than the selected servant.

Those who are not among these are all female officials.

Nine concubines and above nine concubines, there is a radish and a pit.No title required.

Under the nine concubines, that is, starting from Jieyu and going down, the untitled ones of the same rank are more expensive than the titled Jin.Jieyu without a title means that she is Jieyu as soon as she enters the palace, while those with a title climb up from below, so titles are needed to distinguish them.

Hereby explain.

Compared with the abbreviated "Jia Banchao" plan of the heroine in this article, Xue Baochai has been staring at the position of Bao's Second Grandma in the original book. Isn't this vision a little narrower?
