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

After hearing Wang Yue's words, Tu Hui knew that he already had a plan, so he stopped talking and dragged him out for dinner.

But Jia Lian listened to Wang Yue's persuasion, and when he went out of the Imperial College, he intentionally made an excuse to thank him, and wanted to visit Li Shouzhong, so as to make a foreground for the visit of the second master and Baoyu, and test it out.

But who would have thought that as soon as he brought it up, Li Shouzhong's servant directly said that the master had something to do, and he really couldn't get away from it.

Jia Lian couldn't see that this was an excuse, but he had suffered a lot of cold and lost face in front of Wang Yue. Jia Lian was already full of anger, and it was hard to persuade himself to put the overall situation first. , don't care about this bit of resentment.

What's more, although he is not in the inner house, he doesn't know how his sister-in-law has been living these years, but he can always hear a few words from his daughter-in-law, knowing that it is really not easy for her sister-in-law these years.

Therefore, it is inevitable to be short of breath after seeing the Li family, and the usual arrogance and reckless behavior cannot be displayed.

It's just that in Jia Lian's view, he has made a big concession this time, but Li Shouzhong is so narrow-minded, clinging to those trivial things, it's really hateful!

At this moment, Jia Lian completely forgot what he had just told him repeatedly in his heart to take care of the overall situation. When he got to the gate of the Imperial College, he snorted coldly, ignored the servant, and walked away with his sleeves.

Seeing him leaving, Mo Yuan still kept his eyebrows low and pleasing to the eye, and didn't care about his attitude, but turned around and went back to report the matter to the owner.

Li Shouzhong had just sent away a visiting guest at the moment, and there was nothing wrong with him now, but he also knew that if he went out now, he might cause another trouble, so he simply sat in the study and wrote.

In fact, Mo Yuan's refusal of Jia Lian's visit was really not an excuse. The exposure of His Royal Highness's identity certainly caused a great commotion in the Guozijian, resulting in a dark tide inside the Guozijian, and people's thoughts moved.

But it also caused a lot of commotion outside, and those young people who didn't study in the Imperial College were trying to find a way to enter the Imperial College.

However, entering the Imperial College is not their ultimate goal. Since they entered, of course, the closer they are to His Royal Highness, the better.

Except that Wang Yue has a deep friendship with His Royal Highness because he has been in the same room with His Royal Highness for six years. place to stay.

In just three days, five students have been transferred out of His Royal Highness's class, and ten new students have arrived.The courtyards around the residence of His Royal Highness also changed five or six owners.

It's just that these places are limited, but there are many people who are interested in these places, and some of them are in short supply.

In order to compete for these places, those with family backgrounds directly revealed their backgrounds, so that others would quit in spite of the difficulties.

And those whose family backgrounds are comparable to others, or who are not as good as others, naturally want to seek external help and help, so in the short three days, the teachers of the Imperial College and him, the highest official of the Imperial College, the Imperial College Jijiu is really like a dragon in front of the door. , The greeting cards handed over piled up like a mountain.

For these people, Li Shouzhong would see them as soon as he could, and those who could not be postponed were also practicing Tai Chi, and he refused to give an accurate statement.

After all, this is a major matter concerning His Highness the Crown Prince. When His Highness the Crown Prince came to study at the Imperial College, His Majesty specially summoned him and told him to make sure that everything is based on the wishes of His Highness the Crown Prince. If you are not sure, you must Enter the palace to report to His Majesty, and only make decisions with His Majesty's permission, and you are not allowed to act on your own.

So who will be the classmate of His Royal Highness, and who can be a neighbor with His Royal Highness, this kind of thing is definitely not something he can make a decision in private, nor can he use it as a favor.

Originally, no one knew the identity of His Highness the Crown Prince, so he might be able to sneak someone in without attracting attention.

But now his every move is being watched by others, he absolutely dare not do this kind of thing again.

It doesn't matter if he is timid, but after all, it is a matter related to the prince, and Li Shouzhong is not willing to involve his family in it for a momentary favor.

Therefore, when Jia Lian of Jia's family came to visit at this time, Li Shouzhong included them among those who came through the back door.

Although he was angry with the Jia family, he didn't want to refuse the Jia family's door-to-door help.

He knew that the reason why those members of the Jia family dared to treat his daughter coldly was because they disliked his daughter for being suspected of Kefu, but fundamentally, the Li family was not as powerful as the Jia family, so they were confident and did not care about the Li family. idea.

In particular, their Li family has been passed down for many years, and the most outstanding thing is the reputation of a scholarly family. This reputation is naturally well-known among scholars and very useful.

However, the Jia family, a noble family with a title passed down from generation to generation, recognized the title more.On the surface, the Jia family said that they were farming and studying heirlooms, but the name was not true. They were still a wealthy family at root. Therefore, seeing that the Li family did not have a title, and the things they married as dowry were mostly books, calligraphy and paintings, and there were not many gold and silver utensils, it was inevitable that they would look down on him. He is three-pointed to the Li family, and as far as his daughter is concerned, he doesn't care much about their Li family's opinion.

It stands to reason that Li Shouzhong should be very annoyed by his daughter's Jia family's experience, but Li Shouzhong is not an ordinary scholar who doesn't know the world and doesn't care about anything when he gets angry.

He knew that if he and the Jia family broke up publicly, the hardest thing to do would be his daughter.After all, her daughter is married and widowed, and she has a little grandson in front of her. It is impossible for her to return to the Li family. She will be supported by the Jia family for most of her life, and her little grandson's future is also tied to the Jia family.

So even though he hated the Jia family very much in his heart, he had to pinch his nose and think about the Jia family.

And if that Jia Baoyu really entered the Imperial College to study, based on how well he knew the Jia family loved Jia Baoyu, he would have to curry favor with him, the Imperial College.At that time, he can support his daughter.

Jia Baoyu's mother, his daughter's wicked mother-in-law had no choice but to treat her daughter carefully, and could no longer manipulate her!

It's just that how to help still needs careful planning.

While Li Shouzhong was writing with a pen, he was thinking secretly in his heart. It just so happened that Mo Yuan came in at this moment, and he reported Jia Lian's affairs one by one, without adding or subtracting half a point, but the occasional revealing tone can also be inconspicuous. Show Jia Lian's attitude.

Li Shouzhong frowned even more when he heard the words. The Jia family didn't know what confidence they had. Did they think the Jia family was the same as it was back then?

The reputation of Ningguo Mansion, which is supporting each other with Rongguo Mansion, is already terrible. The reputation of Ningguo Mansion Jia Zhen's misbehavior has spread throughout the capital.

Ningguo Mansion was already rotten to the bone, and Rongguo Mansion was much better than him, but in his opinion, it was not much better.

Chengjue's boss stays at home drinking and playing with women every day, neither socializing nor going up to court.

The second child is quite decent, and has a good reputation outside, but he has been a member of the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years, and he has never been promoted. In the end, he reluctantly accepted the position of Xuezheng with the help of his daughter in the palace. , because the Ministry of Personnel reported that he acted impartially, and everyone who was a child was convinced. After returning to Beijing, he was recommended by Governor Wu, and he was promoted to be a doctor of the Ministry of Industry.

But why did the Ministry of Personnel praise him, and why did Governor Wu want to protect him? Isn't it because of his family background, his daughter in the palace?

If not, then Jia Zheng has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and he has never seen anything outstanding in him, but it happened that his daughter entered the palace and became a concubine, which showed him.

It can be seen that this time his promotion did not depend on his own ability, and this is not his own idea. This is probably the opinion of everyone who knows Jia Zheng.With this promotion, at least he squandered all the fame he had accumulated in half his life.

Now outsiders don't praise him for his legacy, nor his abilities, but only say that he came up through a nepotism.

It's just that he cared about his face and didn't talk about him face to face, but as Jia Zheng's in-laws, Li Shouzhong still listened to a lot of gossip.

With such a reputation, it's okay to go up from the bottom to the middle, but it's difficult to go up.

Moreover, although His Majesty is very fond of old love, he is not very keen on female sex. He spends most of the year in the former court dealing with political affairs, and he also goes to the harem seven or eight times in a month. That Xiande concubine can be considered good if she can get one share.

It can be seen from this that the virtuous concubine is not so favored in the palace.It may not be easy for the Jia family to borrow the strength of the empress in the palace.

The three men who are the masters of the family are all like this, and there are no outstanding talents among the descendants below, but they are young and playful.

If the Jia family is still like this, this is not a good sign.It's a pity that the current family is still looking at the scenery of the past, and they don't think that their Jia family has gone to Nanshan.

Originally, Jia Lian wanted something from him, but he still put up the airs of the Duke's mansion and didn't look at it. At this time, even the prince is willing to come and see him.

"That's all, I just want Shu'er to be safe and sound for the rest of her life. As for the Jia family, well, what the hell!"

Li Shouzhong shook his head and sighed, but let go of the plan in his heart. Anyway, the Jia family has a quota, Jia Baoyu will come in if he wants to, and he heard that their family has something to do with that Wang Yue, so there is no need to bother him about this matter. of.

When the time comes, he will just give instructions in vain, and he only hopes that this time he can persuade Jia Zheng to find a good teacher for his little grandson who is getting older!
