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

The last time these people came to the Wang family, although they tried their best to be kind on the face, they still had the reserve and pride of the aristocratic family in their bones, and they couldn't help showing a superior attitude, but this time, their attitude seemed to be somewhat equal to Wang Yue.

The backers of the four major families have all been lost, and probably only idiots like Xue Pan can continue to eat, drink, and play happily.However, amidst the declining attitudes revealed intentionally or unintentionally by others, Jia Lian's arrogance is particularly noticeable.

Of course Wang Yue was very curious about why Jia Lian was like this. You must know that Jia Lian was quite suppressed in the Jia family. His wife was a tigress in the backyard. As a housekeeper, tell him to do everything if there is nothing to do.

Even if they are of the same generation, they still look down on his behavior in their bones. Under this kind of suppression, Jia Lian's attitude is actually quite smooth, and he doesn't care about his foolishness. Not dignified enough, not like the heir of a big family, it is no wonder that Jia Baoyu usually acts absurdly, but everyone still regards him as the savior of the Jia family.

This is also easy to understand. After all, no matter how absurd Jia Baoyu is, his talent cannot be ignored. It's just that he didn't focus on business, and it is easy to dismiss his absurdity with the reason that he is still young and ignorant. People like to cover up the past and the return of the prodigal son, not to mention that Jia Baoyu was born with a difference, and it is not surprising that he will do something that shocks people's eyes in the future.

In comparison, Jia Lian is very unattractive. If he hadn't taken up the status of the eldest son, he might not even be able to get the status of the foreign housekeeper of Jia's mansion.

But looking at Jia Lian's attitude now, and other people's changes towards Jia Lian, Wang Yue couldn't help being very curious.

Although he had already made up his mind not to get involved in the Jia family's affairs, of course he was curious about the changes in the plot of Dream of the Red Chamber.

Therefore, although he was so busy all day long that he never touched the ground, he still took time out and ordered his servants to inquire about news from the servants of Jia's mansion.

The servants of Jia's family were still as unreliable as ever, but they revealed all the privacy of their master for just two taels of rice wine.

In the evening, Wang Yue learned about the matter from his subordinates, and only then did he understand the whole story.

Jia Baoyu's throwing of the jade was not without its influence, he is now insane, like a fool, no matter how you look at it, there is no hope of turning over.

And his elder sister, the noble concubine in the palace, has passed away, and his uncle Wang Ziteng has also died suddenly. Compared with Jia Lian, his advantage in foreign objects is gone.

At this time, Xue Pan hadn't killed anyone again, and Xue's family hadn't turned to Jia's family. Although he really wanted to cling to Jia's family, seeing that Jia Baoyu had no hope, Aunt Xue loved her daughter very much. Before he reached the point of sacrificing his daughter for his son, he naturally felt remorse for the golden jade marriage.

Although the Xue family has not yet moved out of the Jia family, thinking about the sisterhood and the relationship between relatives, Xue Baochai has already moved out of the Grand View Garden on the pretext of family affairs. meaning.

Although Mrs. Wang secretly hated the Xue family for being ruthless, she couldn't think about it, not to mention that her current focus had gradually shifted from Jia Baoyu to her only hopeful grandson, Jia Lan.

The second room has already been hit, and the second brother died suddenly. The daughter of the nobleman in the palace was unlucky and left early. The eldest brother's family is unreliable, and the younger sister is the only external strength she can borrow from her natal family.

For the sake of her grandson's future, Mrs. Wang could only grit her teeth and greet him with a smile, barely maintaining her relationship with the Xue family.

In the backyard of the Jia family, Wang Xifeng originally handed over the power of housekeeping due to illness. In the original book, Li Wan, Jia Tanchun and Xue Baochai were the joint housekeepers. Jia Tanchun has now left the Jia family, and her role has been replaced by Qiaojie. .

But now that Xue Baochai has moved out of the Grand View Garden, there is no way to mention the housekeeper.Because Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng's attention was focused on Jia Lan, Li Wan felt elated in her heart, so she devoted all her attention to taking care of Jia Lan's study and life. Although she still assumed the name of housekeeper, she didn't take care of things .

Therefore, the power of housekeeping all fell to Sister Qiao, who was the daughter of Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, which meant that the power of housekeeping still fell on the couple.

For her own daughter, Wang Xifeng naturally supported her [-]%. Not only did she advise and support her all the way, but she also took the initiative to use herself as a raft to give her daughter a reputation.

Sister Qiao was raised by Wang Xifeng herself. Although Wang Xifeng has learned a lot of abilities and means, she has already gained five or six points. With the help of her mother, she is even stronger than the thorny rose in the original book. Don't give up.

Therefore, the servants of Jia's family who originally looked down upon Wang Xifeng for losing her power of steward only felt that Wang Xifeng was deeply loved by the masters. Even if she fell ill, the power of steward still fell on her daughter. Because of her status in the backyard of her family, the servants who originally intended to be cold-hearted welcomed her even more enthusiastically.

And after Jia Baoyu was stupid, the servants of Jia's family also began to care about it. The only one in the second house could see Jia Baoyu. Although Jia Lan looked good, he was too young to be useful at all. Leaving, seeing no one in the second room.

In comparison, although Dafang and his son are messing around, Erye Lian is a good governor and has a reputation. No matter how you look at it now, Dafang has a better future.

The servants of Jia's family have always been good at pushing high and low, seeing that the second house has no future and the eldest house has more hope, so there is no need to mention what choice they will make.

So now the current situation of the Jia family is that both Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang in the second room are paying attention to Jia Lan. Although they are very concerned about Jia Baoyu and Mrs. Wang, they are no more than before. Take care.

In the big room, although Jia Amnesty was still blindly drinking and playing with women, he became kind to Jia Lian and often rewarded him, which made Jia Lian unavoidably complacent, and straightened his back against the tigress at home.

However, Wang Xifeng was already disheartened towards Jia Lian, her husband, and she didn't care about him at all. She only focused on helping her daughter, and on the other hand, she was taking care of her health and preparing to give birth to a son. When the time came, she would guard her pair of children and Ping'er and depend on each other. As for Jia Lian Why is he messing around outside, but Wang Xifeng no longer controls him like before.

Jia Lian didn't know the inside story, and thought that his own women had finally seen his majesty and subdued him, so they couldn't help but feel even more proud.

So it's not surprising that Jia Lian's complacency is so obvious.

After Wang Yue heard this, she couldn't help sighing secretly. She only felt that the future of Jia's family was in darkness. At this moment, Jia's family was still only paying attention to the three-acre land in front of them, and didn't open their eyes to look outside at all. They didn't notice at all. The danger is gradually approaching, and what they are fighting for now will not be able to keep in the future.

Not to mention that Wang Yue's good mood in the palace examination was dimmed by the news revealed by the servants of Jia's family, but he soon lifted his spirits. Anyway, he already knew the future of Jia's family, and now it is only for Jia's family. It's all right to be angry, but after letting it go in his heart for a while, he became happy again.

Taking advantage of these few days of free time, he practiced riding and arching again. After this period of practice, he can be regarded as proficient in arching horses. At least he will no longer let others lead his horses as before. Now Not only can he control the horse proficiently, but he can also draw a bow and shoot arrows on the horse. Although his accuracy is still a bit lacking, compared to the past, he is already a different person.

Just when he gradually mastered the skill of riding and shooting, the day of spring hunting has arrived.

The emperor's parade team is naturally mighty, not to mention the maids and father-in-law brought out from the palace, the servants brought out by the princes, nobles and ministers add up to thousands of people, and there are also people responsible for protecting the emperor's safety There are tens of thousands of people in the team.

Coupled with the fact that most of the civil servants were in cars, and they carried all kinds of materials along the way, the patrolling team became even stronger.

However, Wang Yue is just a small person. He and several other Xinke Scholars who were lucky enough to be selected by the emperor to accompany him on the tour came to the end. They just sit in the carriage and chat, or go out for a while while the emperor is driving. Fan, it can be regarded as an increase in knowledge.

The paddock they are going to is the royal hunting ground of the Qing Dynasty in history—Mulan paddock.Wang Yue had been there in his previous life, but unlike the outer areas that most people can only approach, he went to areas that were not open to the outside world.

The tourist area of ​​Mulan Paddock originally provided hunting services, and there were also hunting activities in the unopened areas inside. Compared with the playful hunting activities outside, the hunting inside is of course more authentic.

But at that time, Wang Yue didn't like this activity very much, and he was not good at it, but he gave up after trying it.

Now he is looking forward to it.

The geographical location of Mulan Paddock is very superior. It is controlled by Mongolia in the north, close to the capital in the south, and connected to Chahar on the right. It is located among the tribes of Monan Mongolia.

Even though Emperor Tianzheng had a great talent and plan at the beginning, he dealt a big blow to the Mongolian tribes and Manchus who had been seeking to enter the customs, and beat them to pieces, but the vitality of these nomadic peoples was quite tenacious.

Although deterred by Da Qi's force, they had no choice but to stay away from Da Qi's borders, but they would make a comeback whenever they had the chance.

So annual spring hunting is essential.

At first, it was to train the army, and second, it was to show force and deter foreigners.

So it's not surprising to choose this Mulan paddock, which is close to Mongolia and the northeast.

The emperor's parade team set off from Beijing all the way to Mulan Paddock. The journey was not too far, but they walked for half a month.

When we arrived, spring was almost over, but fortunately, Mulan Paddock was located on the north side, so it was still in the tail of spring.

The author has something to say: I really met a good Chinese mother-in-law. Is there an old lady in the ward who is over 80 this year and is in very bad health. She has always been taken care of by an aunt in her 50s. I I always thought that this aunt was the daughter or daughter-in-law of the old lady. Just today, the teacher asked the old lady whether she would be released from the hospital or not. The granddaughter of this old lady is the daughter-in-law of this aunt. I was shocked at that time. After returning to the office, the brother said that she took care of the old lady when she was hospitalized last time. To be honest, it is really rare for a mother-in-law to do this. ah!
