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

In fact, although Jia Baoyu was born with a jade title, Jia's mother believed that he was born with a difference and that he would be extraordinary in the future, but scholars like Jia Zheng don't believe in ghosts and gods. Bring disaster to the family?

Therefore, he also secretly thought of taking out this piece of jade and finding someone who understands it for him, or hiding this piece of jade privately so that his family members cannot touch it.

But the Jia family soon discovered that Jia Baoyu had a close relationship with this piece of jade. With this piece of jade, Jia Baoyu was very intelligent and very clever, but when he left the piece of jade, he seemed to lose his soul all of a sudden. , Become stupid, do whatever you are asked to do, just like those fools outside.

After that, the Jia family regarded this piece of jade as Jia Baoyu's lifeblood. Mother Jia gave the servants who served Jia Baoyu a death order. If this piece of jade was lost, they would pay for their lives!

Fortunately, although the servants of Jia's family are usually unreliable, those who can come to Jia Baoyu's side are carefully selected, very knowledgeable about current affairs, and know the importance. Not lost.

This piece of jade was not only hung around Jia Baoyu's neck during the day, but at night the attacker would take it off with his own hands, wrap it in a handkerchief, and put it under Jia Baoyu's pillow. It should not be lost anyway.

In the original plot, the reason why this piece of jade was lost has a lot to do with the monk with the scarlet head and the lame Taoist, but it's not the time yet?

Although his relationship with the Jia family has remained the same in recent years, and he has been in frequent contact with each other, he has never done anything that will affect the future of the Jia family or change the plot.

The only unstable factor that can reverse the plot is himself. Wang Yue thinks that he has been very cautious in his words and deeds. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have such a big impact.

But with the facts in front of him, he couldn't help but start to reflect on himself.

It's just that Wang Yue was thinking about it, and couldn't remember what he did to advance this plot.

Since the problem is not with him, could it be the fault of the Jia family?

This is indeed possible. After all, there is still a butterfly effect. He tried his best to avoid it, but it is not impossible to affect the people in Jia's mansion.

However, Wang Yue carefully recalled the plot characters mentioned in the original work. After all, he couldn’t imagine who would attack Jia Baoyu. Aunt Zhao, the only one who fell in love with Jia Baoyu in the original work, committed suicide. Jia Tanchun also took this opportunity to leave Jia's mansion.

The rest of the people should have no motive or reason to attack Jia Baoyu.

Could it be the skinny monk and the lame Taoist priest?

It shouldn't be, isn't the plot going step by step?They had no reason to act in advance. Suddenly, Wang Yue remembered the purpose of his visit this time. Wasn't he coming this time to dispel the idea of ​​Rongguo Mansion sending Jia Baoyu to study in the Imperial College?

Could it be that the scarlet monk and the lame Taoist also had this reason?

They didn't want Jia Baoyu to study in the Imperial College, so they took the jade away in advance.

This is a reasonable reason, that's all, he didn't bother to think about these reasons, anyway, he will no longer meddle in the affairs of Jia's family, as for whether Jia Baoyu is stupid or smart, it will be his last It is to escape into Buddhism, and it will not have any impact on the future of the Jia family.

There is no difference with him or without him.

Thinking of this, Wang Yue felt a lot more relaxed. He followed the servants to Jia Mu's main room, and the atmosphere in the mansion was not too flustered. It is estimated that everyone was already used to Jia Baoyu's troubles from time to time.

What's more, if the panic had already panicked when they found the lost jade, all they can do now is to urge the servants to look for the jade outside, or visit a famous doctor, pray to gods and Buddha, and bless Jia Baoyu to be safe and sound , as for the rest, they can do nothing.

So after a few days of panic, everyone went about their business step by step.

This time when Wang Yue went to Jiamu's main room, the young girls who surrounded Jiamu were gone. Sitting in front of Jiamu were Jia Zheng, Jia She, Jia She and other men from Jia's family.

From being treated casually as a junior in the past to now being entertained by the men in charge, Wang Yue couldn't help but lamented that he hadn't done anything for nothing in the past ten years, and his efforts were worth seeing. Otherwise, the Jia family would not immediately change their attitude towards him.

Wang Yue bowed to them first, asked how they were, and then asked about Jia Baoyu's situation. The people I wooed and clinged to suddenly stood on an equal footing with me, and the Jia family actually didn't feel that well.

What's more, in the eyes of Jia's family, friendship with Wang Yue is regarded as a friendship. When they communicate with Wang Yue, they can't help but sigh in their hearts that they are kind-hearted. When Wang Yue's performance is getting better and better, they feel that they Smart eyes know people.

But who knew, before they knew it, Wang Yue had changed from a relative who they were optimistic about to a person who could get along with them on an equal footing. How could this prevent the Jia family from feeling bitter.

The Jia family didn't want to lose face in front of Wang Yue, so they only said that everything was fine about Jia Baoyu's condition. When it came to that piece of jade, although they were very worried, they would inevitably mention it in their words. Jade is closely connected with Jia Baoyu, which is very strange, thus highlighting Jia Baoyu's difference from ordinary people.

Regarding this, Wang Yue couldn't help muttering to himself, did the Jia family not realize the danger brought by Jia Baoyu because of the influence of the scarlet monk and the lame Taoist, or did they never think of Jia Baoyu's behavior at all? The more strange it is, the more their Jia family is feared by the emperor?

However, Wang Yue would not be so stupid as to remind them anymore, he just echoed a few words casually, acting very surprised by this, to satisfy the vanity of the Jia family.

However, since Jia Baoyu was already ill, there was no need to mention taking care of him when he was studying in the Imperial College. Without Jia Baoyu, the Jia family's focus would naturally be on how the imperial concubine valued him.

Mother Jia took the lead, and the others chimed in, as if Jia Yuanchun in the palace did not just hear his name, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince liked him and wanted to win him over, but because the two had known each other for a long time. The relationship is very close, and the friendship between the two has surpassed that of the imperial concubine and Jia Baoyu, the brothers.

What they said made Wang Yue start to wonder if he really had a concubine who was closer than his own sister as a sister.

Regarding this, Wang Yue could only secretly smile helplessly, as long as the Jia family is willing to devote all their efforts to revitalizing the family business, why worry about the Jia family being unhappy, why should they behave like this?

However, Wang Yue would not show this point. Naturally, Wang Yue only showed a grateful look for the respect they said about the imperial concubine and empress. As for other things, he just responded with a smile and did not promise anything.

Seeing him like this, Jia Zhen and Jia She were unavoidably impatient. After all, from their point of view, the imperial concubine and empress valued it, and the others could only kneel down in gratitude to express their loyalty. How could anyone think of someone who would disdain the empress?

When the two of them were in a bad mood, their words became strong. On the contrary, Jia Mu was an experienced person, and she didn't respond immediately when she saw him.

Wang Yue saw that if this topic continued, there would be nothing to talk about, and it would only make the atmosphere continue to be stalemate, so he hesitated for a while, then took out the things in the hands of the servants, and said: "Today, I got the son of the Imperial College. A gentleman recommended him to visit Mr. Lin at Princess Shuxian’s mansion, but he did not expect to talk about it. It turned out that Mr. Lin was a relative of Aunt Lin. Mr. Lin said that the relatives had not seen each other for a long time because they were separated from each other. I didn't know that Aunt Lin had come to the capital early, and she should have come to have a look, but because the princess has been busy with her affairs recently, she couldn't find time, so she asked me to bring some gifts he had prepared, and she only stayed for a few days, the princess If you have time, come over to see Aunt Lin."

"Princess Shuxian's mansion? Are you talking about Mr. Lin Qinglin, a layman in Xiaolou?"

"Princess Shuxian's son-in-law? But the Lord Lin Qinglin who was conferred the title of first-class baron by the Holy One because of his meritorious service?"

These words are naturally from different people's mouths, ordinary literati will inevitably feel that the son-in-law is a bit of a soft food, so they look down on those son-in-laws who marry the princess, but Mr. Lin is naturally an exception.

In order to distinguish Mr. Lin from the other son-in-laws, everyone also respects Mr. Lin. Basically, scholars would not call Mr. Lin a son-in-law, but would call him Xiaolou Lay.

However, like Mother Jia, who pays more attention to titles and does not pay attention to Mr. Lin's achievements in Confucianism, when mentioning Mr. Lin, he naturally pays more attention to his status as the son-in-law of the eldest princess Shuxian and the first-class baron. .

According to the regulations of the imperial court, after marrying the princess, the son-in-law can obtain a title according to the system. Although it is said that the unified Qingqi captains are all Qingqi captains, there are differences between the Qingqi captains. They are first class and third class, and everything depends on the princess. Whether favored.

Mr. Lin was naturally awarded this title when he first married the princess, but later he was awarded the title of first-class baron by the emperor because of his compilation of dictionaries. Naturally, no one mentioned the title of Captain Qingqi in front of him.

For one thing, since he has two titles, everyone will naturally address the taller one, which is more honorable.Secondly, everyone also knows that the captain of Qingqi relied on the princess to come here, and the first-class baron relied on himself to earn it, but any man, how can he be said outside that he relies on women for everything?

Of course, everyone doesn't want to offend a famous person in the literary world.Of course, you should pay attention to the title.

From the address of Jia's mother and Jia Zheng, it can be seen that Mr. Lin is very valued in the eyes of Jia's family.

This is probably why Mr. Lin had to prepare a gift when he heard that he was coming to Rongguo Mansion, and asked him to hand it over to Lin Daiyu.

It is impossible to say that Mr. Lin did not know that Lin Daiyu was in the capital.

At the beginning, the Lin family had a double family, but it caused a great commotion in the capital. At that time, few people did not know the relationship between Mr. Lin and Lin Ruhai.

And Lin Ruhai married the only daughter-in-law of the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion after he passed the exam to find Hualang.

At the beginning, Jia Min had a lot of friends in the capital, and she paid a lot of handkerchiefs. After she married Lin Ruhai, her husband and wife were harmonious, and many people envied her.But later, the beauty was unlucky and died young, which inevitably made people sigh.

As for the Jia family taking her daughter to Beijing and staying at her mother's house to raise her, she has never concealed it. Although Lin Daiyu seldom walks outside and not many people have met her, they know that she is in Jia's house. There are many people.

Even if Lin Qing didn't know, Princess Shuxian should have heard of it in the back house, so why didn't the princess tell Lin Qing?

So Lin Qing should have known about it a long time ago, but for some reason, he never contacted him at all.

And the reason why Mr. Lin mentioned Lin Daiyu this time was to ask him to give him a gift. It was nothing more than to tell the Jia family his relationship with him, and let the Jia family know that his little apprentice has a backer, so don't try to bully others.

But the Jia family didn't know Mr. Lin's intentions. They really believed that Mr. Lin didn't know about Lin Daiyu's going to Beijing before, and now it's because Wang Yue mentioned Lin Daiyu in front of Mr. Lin.

This made Jia's mother very happy. She loved her own granddaughter more and hoped to see the two Yu'er could be together. She didn't want the future Second Grandma Bao to be Mrs. Wang's niece.

But her granddaughter's life is too miserable, her parents are not around, and she has no backer behind her. Even if she is loved by her old lady, she will inevitably suffer a lot of grievances.

Originally, I thought that the relationship between the two children would be a matter of course, but who knew that her daughter-in-law opposed it openly and secretly.

But Mrs. Wang was still thinking about herself at that time, and she didn't dare to say it to her face. When the empress came out, she would have confidence, and she was even more unwilling to agree to the marriage of the two Yu'er.

But the empress believed her own mother's words, and she was more inclined to the Xue family, and she gradually lost control over it.

I didn't expect Yu'er to have such a relative. If we can get in touch more, Yu'er's waist can be made harder. Even if the two Yu'er are not destined, they can still find a good home for her hard-fated granddaughter, so as not to let her buddha The snake-hearted daughter-in-law got tricked while she was away!

Mother Jia was thinking of Daiyu, but Jia Zheng couldn't help but wonder why Wang Yue was so respectable in front of Mr. Lin. Although Mr. Lin sent things here for his niece's sake, being able to gossip with Mr. Lin about family matters is not to follow. If the teacher can say something when he visits, it must be that Mr. Lin admires Wang Yue very much, and the atmosphere is relaxed, so he can talk about it.

For a moment, Jia Zheng remembered the rumor about Mr. Lin's acceptance of apprentices, and then he heard that his wife said that Wang Yue's painting skills were extraordinary. He didn't pay attention to this at first, but now that he thinks about it, it fits Mr. Lin's requirements.

So he couldn't help opening his mouth and said tentatively: "The teacher is willing to take you to listen to Mr. Lin's teachings, because he values ​​you, but when you worship the teacher, you should also tell us and congratulate you!"

Wang Yue knew that there was no way to hide the matter of apprenticeship. Mr. Lin intended to make a big deal out of it. Jia's family would definitely hear the news, and they wanted to talk about it sooner or later. It just happened to be mentioned now, so why not take the opportunity to say: "Take me to It was a gentleman from the Imperial College who was in charge of teaching, not my teacher, but this time I went to talk about the matter of apprenticeship..."

Before Wang Yue could say anything, Jia Zheng couldn't help but interrupted him, and asked in amazement, "Could it be that Mr. Lin wanted to take you as an apprentice? Did it succeed?"

Wang Yue smiled shyly, he was like this, why the Jia family couldn't understand his unfinished meaning, for a while Jia Zheng's face slowly became stiff, and Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen's faces were also a little unsightly.

Just like Jia She, who disregarded the family's future and only hoped that the second wife would be bad, it would be embarrassing. He just hoped that the second wife would be bad, but he didn't think of asking anyone to surpass the Jia family!

Mother Jia also felt uncomfortable. Although Wang Yue has always performed well, Baoyu is the best in her heart. She has comforted herself like this in her heart. If you work hard, it will be easy to surpass Brother Yue.

But now it’s good, Baoyu is stupid, brother Yue has won the fame of Juren, has half an official status, and won the favor of His Royal Highness, and now he has worshiped a good teacher, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, Baoyu can really surpass him ?

The author has something to say: I went to the supermarket today to buy a box of instant noodles and came back. My brother took a look and asked me, how did you buy Kang Shuaifu? ! (ー_ー)!!
