Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

The two mansions of Rongning and Ning have the same spirit, and there is only a wall between them. Such rumors have gradually spread to the Ningguo mansion. As the housekeeper No.1, Zhang is naturally the first to know about it. Angrily, she doesn't care about the servants of Rongguo Mansion, but all the servants of Ningguo Mansion count as one, as long as anyone talks about this matter, they will be dealt with severely.

Under such high pressure, it was obviously a joyous marriage, but there was no joy at all, and she looked down on this prospective daughter-in-law who caused a disturbance.

This kind of thing can't be hidden from Jia Jing's eyes. Jia Jing naturally knows this. He knows the virtues of the slaves in Rongguo Mansion. They have a pair of eyes of wealth and a heart of comparison. Shen's identity is It's a bit lower, but could it be that Qin Keqing's status was higher back then?

Back then, Qin Keqing was just an abandoned daughter of the Yangshengtang, and was lucky enough to be carried back by Qin Ye, the warden. Although she was chosen as Jia Rong's daughter-in-law because of her special family background, the servants in Rongfu didn't know her true identity. Every family is cautious, and Qin Zhong is so poor that he can't even afford to study, so he can only join the school of Jia's family, but those servants are not all boasting about it, is it because Jia's mother once said She is No.1 among great-granddaughter-in-laws.

So among the wave after wave of rumors, without the involvement of the master of the Rongfu, he was the first to disbelieve it. It seems that the Rongfu is really getting more and more depraved, and no one has said anything outside. It's my own people who killed my own people. They are both from the Jia family, but I and others have lost face. Don't they look good?

It's just that it's not easy to discipline such things directly, it's better to avoid rumors, but since Mrs. Chen has decided to be the daughter-in-law of their Jia family, and even the future clan wife, her reputation cannot be ruined at will.

Jia Jing narrowed his eyes and calculated.

A few days later, Mr. Pan Shuiming thought he was old and frail, and wanted to sue his old age and return to his hometown. As soon as the memorial came up, not only today, but even the emperor was shocked, and the two even posted posts to persuade them to stay.

In the past two years, the emperor's health has gradually improved, but in terms of gradually improving his physical condition, the relationship between the emperor and the present has gone from bad to worse. Today is not the emperor's favorite son. Although he is old, he has always been dispensable. Discomfort, considering the continuous succession of the Dakang Dynasty, it is his outstanding ability that makes him stand out today, but it was because of his ability that he ascended the throne at the beginning, and now it should be because of his ability that the increasingly healthy emperor feels conflicted and fearful.

So the emperor favored his old lover again, Concubine Zhengui. After all, Concubine Zhengui did not do anything wrong. She was just held back by her natal family. The emperor's heart.

The Zhen family has undergone some changes, and I also know that it is not a good thing to be the local emperor in the south of the Yangtze River. Even with the alliance of the Jia family, it is unreliable. Didn't you see that the eldest girl of the Jia family became the empress Jieyu instead?

Perhaps due to the suffering of no one in the court, the Zhen family lost several young and promising juniors. After the incident subsided, the Zhen family thought that they would also cultivate a power in the court, but the Zhen family lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. No one can stop him, he has long been used to being a local rich man, everyone in the family is proficient in everything about eating, drinking and having fun, but they know nothing about the imperial examinations. Yes, I communicated with Concubine Zhen Gui, contacted the Emperor, and wanted him to go through the back door. Everything is ready and I only owe Dongfeng.

But it's a pity that I bumped into Jia Rong, a freak. When I checked repeatedly that day, I also saw the examination paper of the student of the Zhen family, but the paper of that person can be said to be ordinary and clichéd. Those who come in through the back door are far inferior to Jia Rong's papers. Besides, compared with the Zhen family who has always been ostentatious against him, the quiet and low-key Jia family is more pleasing to the eye, so Jia Rong is ordered. higher ranking.

As far as the emperor is concerned, both the Zhen family and the Jia family are his confidants, and it doesn't matter which one he chooses, but the Jia family is better than the Zhen family, and his ranking is not considered a loss of face for his veterans, so he will follow the emperor's disposal up.

Of course, this is off topic. In short, the emperor and the present can be said to be at odds with each other, and they are also heading towards a more and more discordant direction. Those who are slick and tactful can naturally find advantages in the contradiction between the two and climb up, but more people are cautious, and it can be said that they are holding their heads up.

It can be said that it was an extremely rare time that the two of them agreed, and one couldn't help but wonder who this old Mr. Pan Shuiming was?

After some inquiries, I found out that the old man was the chief designer who presided over the excavation of the Dragon River Canal in Kyoto. In the early years, life in Kyoto was not so easy. It was located in the north, cold and dry, far away from the Yellow River, and the people had no food. Look at God, there is a large population in Kyoto, and there is a large food shortage. Most of them are transported from the south through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

As soon as Mr. Pan made a move, he dug three moats, called Longhe Canal, which solved the danger that the people of Kyoto might have difficulty in drinking water, but this happened more than ten years ago. Mr.'s reputation can be said to be resounding all over the capital. I wish every family would set up a longevity tablet for him.

It's a pity that the old man has been recuperating at home since the construction of the Longhe Canal, even his colleagues from the Ministry of Industry rarely see him.

It's a pity that Mr. Pan has a great reputation, but in this bustling and impetuous capital, he is not as famous as an actor now.

Under the impetus of people with good intentions, Mr. Pan's reputation once again resounded throughout the capital after many years. Everyone praised Mr. Pan's merits and kept Mr. Pan in the court, even if they didn't know this old man at all a few days ago. Mister's reputation, but it is the most politically correct thing to retain and praise at this time.

Even though the emperor and the present tried their best to persuade him to stay, old Mr. Pan still wanted to retire, but before he retired, he recommended his apprentice to the present and the emperor. In this way, this young Enke student this year was originally unknown and was assigned to the Ministry of Industry. The little person walked into the eyes of everyone in the court.

Afterwards, while the iron was hot, the enthusiastic people of Kyoto dug out his life experience and found that he lost his father in his early years, but he was self-improving, hardworking and extremely intelligent since he was a child. He was discovered by the old and childless owner of the library. For his adopted son, his widowed mother was even more grateful, and voluntarily sold herself as a slave for her son. Naturally, the master of the library would not agree. You let me and I let you. His younger sister is also grateful for the old lady's kindness, and is willing to serve by her side Well, the old lady didn't want to order her around, and she was just like you let me and I let you. In the end, she only regarded her as her granddaughter.

Such a plot with ups and downs and great success can be said to satisfy the enthusiasm of the people in Kyoto for entertainment. Some storytellers even compiled this story into a book, specifically telling it to the wives of wealthy families.

The owner of the library already has a good reputation. He provides limited but free books to young and poor scholars all the year round, and the reputation of the mother and son of the Shen family is even higher. Throw it on your head.

While everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was stunned, the shabby household who could be bullied at will under an identity turned out to be the most famous in the capital.

At this time, the Ningguo Mansion revealed the heirs of their eldest son and grandson. This year's marriage between Uncle Jia Rong, a second-class Jinshi, and a girl from the Shen family, the melon-eaters in the capital applauded even more. The traditional plot of repaying kindness, as well as the bloody plot of the poor boy getting ahead and Cinderella marrying the wealthy family, can be said to have ignited the whole summer. No one dared to say that Jia Rong and the girl from the Shen family are not in the right family!

Even in Zhang's daily communication, some people are constantly envious of her finding a good daughter-in-law who is filial and kind, so what else can Zhang do?I can only say with a smile on my face,

"Yes, it's my luck!"

As for the inside, a burst of sad tears.
