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

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the [-]th birthday of the Supreme Emperor, and the whole capital suddenly becomes noisy. In addition to the envoys sent by various provinces, cities, and vassal kings, there are also famous theater troupes and jugglers from all over the place. The businessmen who came to make money gathered in the capital, and the capital was overcrowded for a while.

The people in the capital were satisfied with taking advantage of this opportunity to make money, and at the same time they were discussing with great interest the rare treasures brought by various envoys to celebrate the emperor's birthday. Everyone used their imaginations based on the various gossip. , talking eloquently, describing the birthday ceremony of the Supreme Emperor in a dazzling manner, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

But this kind of thing is far away from Wang Yue, even if he has slowly started to get involved with the court, this kind of thing is not something that he, a small new talent, can have the opportunity to get involved in.

He just listened to the gossip when he went to the capital with his parents to buy things for the family, and watched the fun.

Because there are so many people in the capital recently, the price of goods has skyrocketed, but everyone is very experienced. Every time the imperial examination comes, the price of goods in the capital will always rise.

The people in the capital will have a tacit understanding to prepare all the things they need at home recently before the price rises too much, so as to avoid wasting money in vain.

And at this moment, Wang Yue heard the news about Jia Baoyu from Rongguo Mansion.

"Have you heard that Jia Baoyu, who was born in the Rongguo Mansion, has trouble again!"

"What's the matter again? What's the matter? Didn't I hear that their family had an evil spirit a while ago? I heard that Jia Baoyu, a daughter-in-law of Jia's family, and a concubine were all evil, but fortunately, there was a relative who was smart. , reminded their family, found the mastermind behind the scenes, and rescued them, but that concubine was a concubine, she just couldn't hold on, and everyone else saved her life, but she lost her life!"

"Tsk tsk, little concubine, who knows how this little concubine died, maybe the wife of the main house took the opportunity to take this little concubine's life!"

The people next to him who thought the same as him also laughed, and they wanted to say something, but another person interrupted them: "What are you talking about about this kind of thing, is it possible that you are as curious as women about the back house?" Things? What's more, I heard that the wife of Jia's family is from a famous family, so be careful if you say bad things about her, so that other family members will listen to it and come back to settle accounts with you!"

"How can such a big family put such a small person in their eyes, let alone I just talk, why? Now I can't even talk?"

"What are you talking about, come here, come here, let me tell you about Jia Baoyu's marriage!"

Wang Yue and Wang Gou'er were refreshed when they heard Jia Baoyu's name, looked at each other tacitly, found a seat in the teahouse and sat down, ready to hear what happened to Rongguo Mansion, but they didn't Think of something like a happy marriage.

Wang Yue frowned at that time, a little surprised, it is possible that the news of the golden and jade marriage has started to spread from now on, and at the same time, he secretly sweated for Lin Daiyu, and felt a little sorry for Xue Baochai, two godlike characters It's a bit depressing to be paired with such a fool as Jia Baoyu!

But soon Wang Yue couldn't care less about sighing for Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, because he heard something that made him dumbfounded.

"Golden jade marriage? Are you talking about Jia Baoyu and Princess Qinghui?"

Someone asked curiously: "Princess Qinghui? Who is this number one? Why haven't I heard of this princess?"

"Brother, this is because you are ignorant. Princess Qinghui's name is very resounding these days!"

The man lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I thought about it, but I still haven't heard the name of this princess. I've only heard of Princess Duanning, Princess Anning, and Princess Qinghuan. The high-level personnel of the Royal Charity Association have done a lot of good deeds in recent years, but I have never heard of Princess Qinghui."

Another person interrupted and said: "It's no wonder you haven't heard of it, bro. It is said that Princess Qinghui was born to a concubine of the Supreme Emperor. She is very low-key and has little reputation outside. In addition, she When my mother passed away, she had to keep her filial piety and stay out of the palace, and not many people outside knew her, even ordinary officials and officials didn't know her, let alone us ordinary people."

"No wonder I haven't heard of it, but what's the matter with Princess Qinghui's reputation recently? Could it be that some major event happened but I didn't know about it? My little brother has been busy shipping out the goods I've been hoarding these days, so I didn't pay attention for a while. Is that well-informed brother clearing things up for me?"

As he said that, the man invited Xiaoer to serve good tea to the few people who were gossips. This action immediately caused some people to change their sarcasm into flattery: "This gentleman is still generous. , quite a relic of the sages!"

Faced with the compliments from several people who don't want money, that person just smiled, and asked the person who first talked about this topic: "Sir, can you tell me the reason of the matter?"

That person is originally a lively person who likes to be held by others. Seeing that this person is sincere and polite, and he knows a lot about this matter, it should be spread all over the street in a few days. Naturally, it is nothing It's easy to hide, so he said: "It's a coincidence, I have a relative who is a servant of a high-ranking official's family, and he waits on his wife closely. She went to the birthday banquet, and only then did she hear the news."

About every person who passed on the news always had an important relative. Everyone was used to this, and they were not surprised, but urged him to hurry up and talk about it.

The man stopped for a while, and said again: "That Jia Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth, and he said that he had a piece of jade in his mouth when he came out of the mother's womb. You all know that, and that Princess Qinghui is also extraordinary. Are you afraid you don’t know?”

"Oh? Could it be that she also took jade from her mother's womb?"

"Go, go, it's not a bad street thing to be born with jade. Everyone can have it there. Besides, if it really exists, and it can be hidden until now, everyone will have already spread it!"

"It's true, so what is so extraordinary about Princess Qinghui?"

The man smiled triumphantly, deliberately lowered his head and took a sip of the teacup to whet everyone's appetites. After everyone's urging, he said: "It is said that Princess Qinghui's mother is a Buddhist. Li Shangxiang, a master gave her a gold collar with engraved words and taught her to carry it with her, saying that this gold collar needs to be matched with jade. The good fate that came, we will meet again in this life!"

"This is quite interesting, no wonder it is involved with this Baoyu, doesn't he just have a piece of jade?"

"If you say that there are quite a few jades here, although it's not as legendary as the jade that was born with jade, but it's passed down from the ancestors, and there are many people who met by fate. How can you be sure which jade it is? And sooner or later. It was reported at this time late, there must be some reason, it is impossible to bring these two people together for no reason?"

Wang Yue also nodded. This is indeed the truth. The so-called golden and jade marriage in the original book naturally refers to Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai, but the Jia family only has jade. When it comes to needing a jade match, everyone naturally thinks of Jia Baoyu , but how could Princess Qinghui be sure that her lover was Jia Baoyu?

Moreover, Wang Yue suspects that Wang Ziteng deliberately directed and acted this play in order to relieve the emperor's suspicion of the Jia family.

Since it is a good relationship between gold and jade, it is a matter of Fengyue. When it comes to Fengyue, everyone will naturally not involve Baoyu in family and country affairs. This gives the royal signal that Jia Baoyu only knows Fengyue and can't be serious.

It's hard for Wang Ziteng to come up with this big drama, but it's so similar to the story in the original book, Wang Yue can't help but sigh, I don't know if it's because the brothers and sisters of the Wang family have the same brain circuit, or the powerful power of the original book brought the plot back on track.

Wang Yue was thinking about something, and those people kept talking, just answering questions for that person: "Of course there is a reason for this, but it is said that Baoyu also went to the grand banquet of the Supreme Emperor's birthday, and he happened to be with Qinghui. The princess met in the imperial garden. It is said that as soon as the two of them met, the piece of jade and the gold collar flew up and insisted on touching each other. "

After finishing speaking, the man shook his head and said emotionally: "This is the fate to meet thousands of miles away. There is fate, and we will always meet together!"

However, his sentiments failed to resonate. Some people who heard the news questioned: "How did I hear that they met when they were swimming in the lake, and the jade and the gold collar didn't touch together, but at the same time?" Shine, you must have heard wrong!"

The other person was not willing to question this person, and quickly argued with him, and some had other opinions. For a while, the teahouse was extremely lively.

Wang Yue summed it up on the side, no matter where they met, or what kind of vision, in short, Jia Baoyu has been tied to Princess Qinghui, so it is said that Jia Baoyu probably will not have a relationship with Xue Baochai. There is no such thing as an alliance of wood and stone with Lin Daiyu.

In this way, the original book almost collapsed, but fortunately, the plot of the original book is still ahead at this time, and the emotional entanglement between the three of them is not deep yet. It is not difficult to get out, but I don’t know where the good relationship between Sister Bao and Sister Lin lies.
