[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

For Wang Yue's straightforward questions, even Jia Lian, who has always been good at dancing and articulate, was a little stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Jia Lian was originally good at dealing with people. These years, he has been regarded as most of the housekeepers of the Rongguo Mansion. He has seen people who are against him. On the surface, he is respectful and flattering to him, but he secretly plays tricks, trying to steal from him. Take advantage of it.

He has also seen a sentence that can make ten or eight detours, all relying on the other party's understanding, but he has never seen such a straightforward and bold one.

It's no wonder that Jia Lian was a little dumbfounded for a while because of his ingenious response, not knowing how to answer.

Jia Lian was surprised by Wang Yue's frankness, but also felt a little ashamed that his little thoughts were exposed. After all, no matter how he looked at the family's planning, it was a bit difficult for others.

Jia Lian's mother died young, and his father didn't care much about him. Although he grew up with the old lady, the old lady's heart has always been biased towards the second wife.

And the servants around him also blindly supported him and didn't dare to disobey his will, so that he developed a willful temperament and didn't care about etiquette at all.

Otherwise, Jia Lian would not have done what Xiaozhong stole. It is true that his beauty is blinding his head, but it is enough to see that Jia Lian does not attach much importance to etiquette and rules.

Because of this, Jia Lian is a villain from the inside to the outside.

There is a saying that judges the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Jia Lian used his consistent point of view to speculate on Wang Yue's mind, and felt that it is not a smart person to share his road to Qingyun with others because of a little kindness. What he can do, Wang Yue is a smart person, not stupid, how could he be willing to give up the benefits in his hands to others for nothing?

What's more, he also heard a thing or two about Wang Yue's articles written in the imperial examination field before. Although he himself is illiterate, there are always people who know him who kindly remind him, or have some hatred with him. Take things out to mock him.

Although Jia Lian pretended to be nothing, and always hid it with a smile when he heard such things, he also knew that Wang Yue might have left his Jia family long ago.

Since Wang Yue did that without hesitation, it can be seen that he was already prepared to tear his face apart from the Jia family. At this moment, he might have regarded the Jia family as an enemy. Will you still miss the old love?

Those women in the family only think that everything will be fine with the empress in the palace, and outsiders need to respect them in everything just relying on this empress and the family's signboard, but they don't know that the current Jia family is no longer as good as the previous generation, and the empress's Signs are not as useful as expected.

Not to mention anything else, just look at him when he was doing errands outside. Although he was holding the signboard of Jia's family with a smile, he was not so dedicated when he was doing things.

And when taking out the signboard of the empress, although people will hold it up and call him "Master Guojiu" in person, they will never give in easily when they should not give in.

Jia Lian is not a stupid person. Although he was a little short-sighted because he was not well-educated since he was a child, he only knows to be greedy for immediate benefits, but he still has some cleverness. Although he did not perceive the future crisis of the Jia family from these signs , even if I thought something was wrong for a while, it was just a worry for a while, and when I saw the beauty and gold and silver, I put it aside and didn't think about it anymore.

But he can still infer from these signs that the Jia family is no longer what it used to be, and the current Wang Yue is not someone they can woo around with a little favor.

You can see that Uncle Wang, who has always been tough, softened his attitude in front of him.

And the empress wanted to use some rewards to pull him onto the Jia family's boat, I'm afraid it was a wrong idea.

Whenever Wang Yue had the slightest desire to cling to the Jia family, she would not have such an attitude at the moment.

And these years they have indeed treated Sister-in-law Zhu and Lan'er mother and son coldly. Sister-in-law's father is the sacrificial wine of the Imperial Academy. He sent a servant to send him over, and now even his servant has the same attitude. If there is no instruction from Mr. Li, he doesn't believe that this servant can be so bold.

Mr. Li has a lot of complaints about his Jia family, and he is in charge of the entire Guozijian. If Baoyu wants to enroll in this school, even if he is very smart, it will be difficult.

But in the blink of an eye, Jia Lian thought a lot, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "Where did you hear the news? Our family has long since settled down. How could there be any How about a chance to get in touch with a noble person like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Wang Yue shook her head, pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Uncle's words are so boring, it's not a secret. Uncle is going outside to inquire now, how many teachers and students of the Imperial College don't know about this? It's not a strange thing to send Uncle Bao to the Imperial College, it's just that sooner or later, just at this time, my uncle has lied to me, and the outsiders probably won't believe it."

Jia Lian saw that Wang Yue spoke with certainty, and guessed that he was not afraid to go out and ask by himself, so this news is really not a secret that Eunuch Zhang specially disclosed to his family.

But thinking about it, since the news was known by that Eunuch Zhang, it is not considered a secret in the palace. Apart from Eunuch Zhang, the other eunuchs must know a lot. The students were all from official families, and they probably knew about it earlier than the Jia family.

No wonder Wang Yue guessed his intention when he saw him coming.

Now that Wang Yue already knew the reason of the matter, Jia Lian simply didn't make any detours, and said: "Everyone wants to go to the side of His Royal Highness, not only our family, but in a few days, the Imperial College should be full of students. Baoyu is the most educated person in our house, and the old lady has always thought that he has great fortune, and now she wants to send him in, brother Yue should be able to understand the expectations of the elders in the family."

After finishing speaking, he shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, you may have become a treasure that everyone is looking for now, but it is very embarrassing to see you being so hot. Those of us who are relatives I should have understood your difficulties and didn't come to mention this, but the mansion has become more and more difficult in the past few years. It looks lively outside, but the inner bag has already poured out. If you don't seek changes, I'm afraid..."

Wang Yue knew very well about the future of the Jia family. He didn't think that sending Jia Baoyu to study in the Imperial College would help the future of the Jia family, or that the more they placed high hopes on Jia Baoyu, the more disappointed they would be in the future. .

This quota is better for Jia Lan, but better for the Jia family.But after all, this is the Jia family's internal affairs, and it's not his turn to intervene, so he seemed to think for a while before he said: "Uncle Bao came to the Imperial College, so I can only be happy for him, Uncle Bao came from Shuxiang From an aristocratic family, I grew up with the old lady, and the etiquette is extremely thoughtful. He is also smart, and his mother personally enlightened him, so his foundation is naturally solid. When I came to the Imperial College, I will grow up with me and support each other."

What Wang Yue said was of course a matter of appearances, but he did not intend to reject the Jia family's proposal. Jia Lian only thought that he was willing to take care of Baoyu, so he was very happy: "You are willing to take care of your Uncle Bao. Our family will remember this favor." Yes, the empress in the palace knows that she can only be happy, this time the empress is in good health and has rewarded a lot of things, and there is a share of you in it, so it can be seen that the empress regards you as her own family."

After hearing this, Wang Yue hurriedly got up and stood with her arms tied, facing the palace, said in her mouth, "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness!"

After finishing speaking, he sat down and said: "Your Majesty values ​​me, it's my honor, but I have something to say, but I hope uncle can convey it for me."

"Oh? But do you have something to ask?"

Wang Yue showed a troubled expression on his face, but after hesitating for a while, he still spoke: "I shouldn't have said this, but I was afraid that Uncle Bao would show up in front of His Highness if he didn't pay attention, which would make His Highness angry, so I don't have to." Stop being a villain."

Hearing what he said, Jia Lian quickly paid attention to it, and his face became serious, and asked, "But what is Baoyu doing wrong? Just say it, our family will remember your affection."

"Uncle Bao is good at everything, except for one thing. Those who say that those who scold the officialdom are Lu Chong must not dare to say it in front of His Highness. His Highness is the crown prince, and all officials are his subjects. Uncle Bao's words like this Scolding a courtier is also scolding His Highness!"

Jia Lian panicked when he heard this, and quickly promised: "Don't worry, I will tell the old men about this!"

"Also, there is no need to say that the man is mud and the woman is water. It is fine to talk about it in the backyard, but it is considered a young and romantic, but if you say this in front of His Highness, you will inevitably be frivolous. If you are pressed by the censor It would be bad to bring His Highness a crime!"

These exhortations from Wang Yue were all good words. Jia Lian was very grateful after hearing this, and felt that Wang Yue's promise to take care of her was sincere, so it should be true, and she was even more convinced of Wang Yue.

Seeing the change in his attitude, Wang Yue felt that the time had come, so she said again: "The Guozijian has not been calm recently, and I am on the cusp of the storm, so I am afraid that I will not take care of Uncle Bao. In my opinion, Uncle will pay you back when you go back. Please pay a visit to Lord Jijiu, with Uncle Bao's talent and character, if you can get a word of praise from him, your life in the Imperial College will be much smoother."

Jia Lian was naturally a little hesitant, but he couldn't say that Li Shouzhong might have complaints about their family, after all, it was a family scandal and not easy to publicize, so he just laughed, and casually dismissed it.

Seeing him like this, Wang Yue didn't say much. Anyway, considering Jia's mother's importance to Baoyu, after hearing this, she would definitely force Jia Zheng to bring someone to visit.

Mr. Li is the most serious person, and Jia Baoyu is afraid that it will be difficult for him to stand in front of him.

However, the Jia family may not be willing to give up this opportunity because of Master Li's words, he still needs to plan something else.

The author has something to say: Recently, I was playing Mengjianji, and the dog food liver felt distressed, and I was not lucky. After changing a few numbers, I finally got a five-star Qinglian sword, but what I want most is Ziwei Ruan, dubbed by Jieda. sword!
