Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

The fourth prince moved very quickly. After Jia Yuanchun agreed to marry him, he sent a matchmaker to ask for Jia Yuanchun's birthday horoscope, and then took it to Qin Tianjian to match the horoscope.

When Qin Tianjian looked at Jia Yuanchun's birth date, he found that Jia Yuanchun would be a concubine in the future, but she died when she was in her 30s.

No, judging from the horoscope of Prince Jin's birthday, Prince Jin did not have an imperial order. How could Jia Yuanchun be a concubine? Is there something wrong?

The people of Qin Tianjian checked it several times, and the result was the same as the first time. Jia Yuanchun will be a concubine in the future, and Prince Jin has no imperial order.

There was a huge discrepancy between the future and the reality calculated by the horoscopes of the two people's birthdays, which made the people in Qin Tianjian begin to doubt life.Master Jia's birth date was checked before, and it was not the same as the reality.Now the future calculated by Jia Yuanchun's horoscope is not correct, what is going on?

The people of Qin Tianjian were completely stupefied, and couldn't think of any reason, so they didn't say anything, but said that Jia Yuanchun's birth date was not a problem, and that it was a fate of prosperity and wealth.

After checking the horoscope of the birthday, Qin Tianjian chose another auspicious day, November [-]th is a very auspicious day, suitable for marriage.

The fourth prince got the auspicious day set by Qin Tianjian, and then sent someone to Jia's mansion to hire him, and told Jia's mansion of the auspicious day by the way.

For Jia Lian's sake, the fourth prince gave the betrothal gift very generously. According to the rules, the betrothal gift and wedding standard of the prince's side concubine was half of that of the main concubine.However, the two side concubines before the fourth prince did not follow the rules, they were brought into the palace to be side concubines very casually, there was no checking of birth dates, dowry gifts, or banquets.Therefore, compared with the two concubines before, Jia Yuanchun has a lot of face this time.

After the fourth prince gave the dowry, the people in Jia's mansion became even busier, because there were only ten days left before the wedding, and if they didn't make preparations quickly, it would be too late.

Just as everyone was busy preparing for Jia Yuanchun's marriage, Mrs. Wang did something surprising.

Mrs. Wang threw the betrothal gift from the fourth prince, threw it, smashed it, and made a mess of the betrothal gift.

When Jia Yuanchun heard this, he was so angry that he almost passed out. When he regained his composure, he ran to the main hall and saw that Mrs. Wang was still smashing the dowry.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Seeing Jia Yuanchun coming, Mrs. Wang looked at her with angry and cold eyes, then walked over, raised her hand and slapped Jia Yuanchun hard.

Jia Yuanchun covered his swollen face and looked at Mrs. Wang with anger, grievance, and resentment.

"You unfilial daughter, your brother just passed away, and you can't wait to get married. Do you want to marry so much? How could I give birth to such a shameless daughter like you?!" Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Yuanchun with disgust and contempt , as if Jia Yuanchun had always been an annoying fly in her eyes. "Your brother was killed by Jia Lian. Not only did you not avenge your brother, but you also got close to Jia Lian's killer." Mrs. Wang knew that this marriage was only for Jia Lian's sake, so she felt very resentful towards Jia Yuanchun. Promise to this marriage.

Jia Yuanchun's face turned red with what he thought was great anger, and his eyes turned cold and full of resentment when he looked at Mrs. Wang, and he shouted sharply: "I didn't blame you, but you actually blamed me. If it wasn't for you, I will not be kicked out of the palace. I will stay in the palace and become a concubine in a few years. Now, because of you, my reputation has been ruined. No one wants to marry me and make me the laughing stock of the entire capital. "

Mrs. Wang didn't expect Jia Yuanchun to refute her, her face turned green and red and then white, "You...you..."

"Because of your stupid things, the title of Rongguo Mansion is gone, I was kicked out of the palace, and the reputation of the Wang family was also ruined by you, making our two families the biggest joke in the capital." Jia Yuanchun sneered with the corners of his mouth curled up, " When Eldest Brother was dying, he said clearly that he died of his own illness, not Brother Lian. But you insisted that Brother Lian killed Eldest Brother. You said those words at Eldest Brother’s funeral and lost everything It’s the face of our Jia family and the Wang family.”

"You cheap girl..." Mrs. Wang's angry expression was twisted, she raised her hand and wanted to slap Jia Yuanchun again.

Jia Yuanchun didn't take the beating obediently this time, but quickly dodged it.

"You'd better smash all the betrothal gifts sent by Prince Jin, so that our family will be charged with insulting the royal family, and the whole family will be imprisoned, maybe even exiled." Jia Yuanchun looked at him coldly. Mrs. Wang, "Smash it, hit it hard, if you hit it, our family will be ruined, and we will all go down to accompany eldest brother."

Mrs. Wang was trembling with anger at Jia Yuanchun's words: "You..."

When Jia Zheng heard the news, he rushed to the main hall immediately. Hearing Jia Yuanchun's words, he saw that the betrothal gifts that were neatly arranged in the main hall were turned upside down, and many things were scattered on the ground, which was very chaotic.

"Ms. Wang, you bitch!" Jia Zheng raised his hand angrily, and slapped Mrs. Wang very hard.

With a bang, Mrs. Wang was beaten and fell to the ground.

Jia Zheng was furious. He took a few steps forward, kicked Mrs. Wang's body fiercely, and cursed, "You bitch, are you trying to kill our whole family?"

Mother Jia rushed to the main hall and saw that the dowry gift given by the fourth prince was messed up, she was so frightened that she almost fainted.

Jia Yuanchun stood aside, watching Jia Zheng punch and kick Mrs. Wang coldly, without any intention of persuading and fighting.

Mrs. Wang was kicked so that she curled up and kept begging for mercy: "Master, please let me go, I will never dare again. I was wrong, I really know I was wrong." Jia Zheng beat her , Mrs. Wang's mind is a little clearer.

Seeing the betrothal gifts scattered around in the main hall, Mother Jia was furious, and said to Jia Zheng, "Beat me hard, she dares to smash the betrothal gifts sent by Prince Jin. She really ate a bear's heart and a leopard's courage. Kill our family."

Hearing what Jia's mother said, Jia Zheng kicked harder.Jia Zheng didn't stop until Mrs. Wang was kicked unconscious.

"Throw this bitch into the Buddhist hall."

"No." Mother Jia stopped.

"Mother, this bitch has done such a rebellious thing, we can't just let her go." Jia Zheng originally thought that life was hopeless, and lived his days in a daze.Unexpectedly, Prince Jin would marry Jia Yuanchun as his side concubine, which made him hope again.Prince Jin will be the prince in the future, and the emperor in the future. At that time, he will be the head of the country, with a noble status and a lifetime of glory and wealth.

It was not easy for Jia Zheng to see hope. Now that Mrs. Wang smashed the betrothal gift from Prince Jin, it might prevent Prince Jin from marrying Jia Yuanchun. Why didn't this make him angry?

"I don't want to live with her like this, but after a while, Yuan Chun will get married, and it won't be good without her." Mother Jia said coldly, "When Yuan Chun gets married, we will deal with her well." She She won't let Mrs. Wang go like this. Their Jia family has suffered enough from Mrs. Wang.

Jia Zheng felt that Jia's mother's words made some sense, and nodded in agreement: "Just listen to mother."

"Bring this bitch back and ask the doctor to take a look." For the sake of Yuan Chun, Madam Wang stayed for a while.

"Yes." Zhou Rui's family and two maids carried Mrs. Wang back.

Mrs. Wang was beaten like this, and they didn't have any sympathy.Because what Mrs. Wang did was too much, it is normal to be beaten.

"Mother, the betrothal gift from Prince Jin has been smashed, what should I do?"

"Father." Jia Yuanchun called out, "Just order people in the house not to spread the word."

"Yes, what Yuan Chun said is right. If this matter is not worn out, Prince Jin will not know about it, and we will be fine." After finishing speaking, Mother Jia told everyone Lai to pass on the order. Who will be responsible for this matter? It cannot be said that if it spreads outside the mansion, all the slaves in the mansion will be sold to brothels.

With Jia's mother's order, how dare the people in Jia's mansion gossip and talk nonsense.Besides, they didn't want to spread the word about it.They also hope that the eldest lady can marry Prince Jin smoothly, so that they will have hope in the future.

"After Yuanchun got married, I sent Mrs. Wang to a nunnery, and told the Wang family that Mrs. Wang was crazy, and it would be better to send her to the nunnery to recuperate."

"Mother, I'll just divorce her." Jia Zheng had long hated Mrs. Wang, and for the sake of Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu, he didn't divorce her.

"It's good to divorce her, but it's not good for Yuanchun." Jia's mother also wanted to divorce this daughter-in-law, so as to save the family from continuing to cause trouble.However, Yuan Chun had just married into Prince Jin's mansion as a side concubine, and if the Wang family was divorced, it would be bad for her. "First send her to the nunnery for a while. If she wakes up later and repents, then bring her back. If not, then let her stay in the nunnery."

When Jia Yuanchun heard these words, he didn't say anything.In the past, she would plead for Mrs. Wang, but just now she was humiliated and blamed by Mrs. Wang, and she only had resentment towards Mrs. Wang.

"Just listen to my mother. When Yuan Chun gets married, send that bitch to a nunnery."

"Hurry up and pack up the betrothal gifts from Prince Jin." She thought that the second daughter-in-law was good, but she was really blind.The second wife, the daughter-in-law, is a villain. First, the title of the Rongguo Mansion was confiscated, and then the reputation of the Jia Mansion was lost. Now, their family is almost ruined.

After packing up the betrothal gifts from the fourth prince, Mother Jia called Jia Yuanchun into her room to comfort her.

Although Jia's mother ordered that people in the mansion not to spread this matter to the outside world, Jia Lian still received the news.

After listening, Jia Lian was dumbfounded: "Is that mad woman Wang completely crazy?"

"I heard from my mother that she is very crazy." Lai Shangrong said, "The second wife has been blaming the young lady for getting close to the young master, and she is almost ignoring the young lady."

"It's really stupid." Mrs. Wang's stupidity once again refreshed Jia Lian's perception of her.

"My mother said that the eldest lady hates the second wife very much now."

"Can you not hate it?" Jia Yuanchun was really pitiful for such a woman at the stall.

"The old lady said that after the eldest lady gets married, she will send the second wife to a nunnery for rest." Lai Shangrong said, "Looking at the situation, the second wife will not be brought back for a year or so."

Jia Lian thought, it's not enough just to send that lunatic Mrs. Wang to a nunnery.He would make that lunatic Mrs. Wang's life worse than death.

Mrs. Wang was beaten half to death by Jia Zheng, and she had to recuperate in bed for more than half a month before she could recover.Mrs. Wang, who was severely beaten, seemed to have come to her senses, not as crazy as before.

After waking up, Mrs. Wang immediately called Jia Yuanchun over, apologetically apologizing to Jia Yuanchun, but she still blamed Jia Yuanchun and Jia Lian for getting close.

Jia Yuanchun was very happy to see Mrs. Wang's brain recovered.Although she resented Mrs. Wang very much before, Mrs. Wang is her mother after all.Now Mrs. Wang is sober, and she apologized to her, and the resentment towards Mrs. Wang dissipated a lot in my heart.

"Yuanchun, I don't object to you marrying Prince Jin as a side concubine, but I don't agree with you getting married so soon. After all, your elder brother just passed away. You can marry after three years."

When Jia Yuanchun heard this, he just thought it was funny, she was not the eldest brother's daughter, so she didn't have to keep filial piety for the eldest brother for three years.

"Mom, we can't decide the date of the wedding."

"You can discuss with Prince Jin and postpone the marriage to three years later."

A coldness flashed across Jia Yuanchun's eyes, and he withdrew his hands from Mrs. Wang's, and his expression became indifferent: "Mother, it is a great honor for Prince Jin to marry me. I don't have the ability to let Jin marry me." The prince will marry me in three years."

Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Yuanchun was determined to marry Prince Jin now, she was very dissatisfied, and her words became ugly: "You want to marry so much?"

Hearing Mrs. Wang's humiliating and reproachful words, Jia Yuanchun raised the corners of his lips and sneered, "Yes, that's how I want to get married. I'm 17 years old now, and I'll be eighteen in two months. If I get married three years later, I will be a 20-year-old girl at that time, and I won’t be able to get married even if I want to.”

"If Prince Jin wants to marry you, he won't mind waiting for you for three years."

Jia Yuanchun didn't expect Mrs. Wang to say such innocent words, and a mocking smile rose on the corner of her mouth: "I don't have that much ability to make Prince Jin wait for me for three years." After finishing speaking, Jia Yuanchun stood up, with a cold face Said, "Mother, rest well, I won't bother you." In Mother's heart, there is only the elder brother, not her daughter.The eldest brother has passed away, but she wants her daughter to sacrifice her whole life to honor the eldest brother, which is really ridiculous.

"Yuanchun, you..." Mrs. Wang was annoyed by Jia Yuanchun's attitude, "Your elder brother was good to you when he was alive, but you didn't honor his filial piety just to get married. Are you worthy of your elder brother?"

"Brother treats me well, but I'm not a sister-in-law, so I don't need to guard my brother for three years." Jia Yuan said blankly, "If I am thirteen or fourteen years old, I am willing to wait three years before remarrying. But I'm 17 years old, I can't wait three years, and I can't afford to wait."

"How did I give birth to such a selfish and ruthless daughter like you?!" Mrs. Wang said angrily.

"If you regret it, you can deny my daughter now, just like some time ago."

"You you you..." Mrs. Wang was annoyed, pointing at Jia Yuanchun with trembling fingers.

"Take a good rest." After finishing speaking, Jia Yuanchun turned and left.When she turned around, her face sank, and her eyes were full of coldness and sarcasm.She thought her mother had returned to normal just now, and she had hope in her heart, but she didn't expect her to be too naive.In the eyes of the mother, there will always be only the eldest brother, without her as a daughter.

After Jia Yuanchun left, Mrs. Wang scolded her for a long time in the room.Zhou Rui's family, who was waiting on the sidelines, felt very sympathetic to Jia Yuanchun when he heard Mrs. Wang's abuse of Jia Yuanchun.

Mother Jia called Jia Yuanchun to her and asked Mrs. Jia Yuanchun if Mrs. Wang had woken up and returned to normal.

"No, mother's mind is still not clear." For her, for her grandmother and father, and for Lian's younger brother, it is better for mother to go to a nunnery, otherwise she will still cause trouble if she stays at home, I don't know what will happen. things to come.

Hearing what Jia Yuanchun said, Mother Jia didn't hesitate: "In a few days, I'll send her to the nunnery." She had heard that Mrs. Wang had come to her senses before, so she felt that there was no need to send Mrs. Wang to the nunnery. .

"Grandmother, mother's sanity is normal at one time and abnormal at another. She might do something wrong if she stays at home, so sending her to a nunnery to recuperate is the most correct decision." Mother, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous.

"You're right, it's better to send her to a nunnery."

Jia Yuanchun said a few more words to Jia's mother, and then went back to continue making wedding dresses.In a few days, we will get married, and the wedding dress is still a bit unfinished.

"Old lady, why did the eldest lady agree to send the second wife to the nunnery..." Everyone Lai asked.

"Yuan Chun was heartbroken by her mother."

Lai everyone took care of Jia Mu after taking a nap, and then went to find Bai's old daughter-in-law.The old wife Bai is the person who serves in front of Mrs. Wang. Although she is not as good as Zhou Rui's family, she still has some status with Mrs. Wang.

During this period of time, everyone Lai has been showing favor to the old wife Bai, but has never explained the purpose, which makes the old wife Bai feel very strange and uneasy.

Today, Lai everyone gave old daughter-in-law Bai a batch of good materials and some of the most popular palace flowers.

The old daughter-in-law Bai knew that Mr. Lai must ask her for something, but she was not in a hurry if Mr. Lai didn't say anything, and she just got better like this for a while.The old daughter-in-law Bai couldn't sit still anymore, seeing that everyone came to deliver things again, she couldn't help asking first.

"Ms. Lai, what do you want from me? Just tell me."

Everyone Lai heard Bai's old daughter-in-law say this, a successful smile rose from the corner of her mouth, and she said unhurriedly: "Madam Bai, since you are so forthright, then I'll just say it straight."

"Please say, as long as I can help, I will help you."

Everyone Lai stood up, walked to the old wife Bai, leaned close to her ear, and whispered something in her ear.

After listening to everyone Lai's words, the old daughter-in-law Bai's eyes widened in shock, her mouth opened wide in surprise, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Ms. Bai, you have also seen that the old lady and the second master dislike the second wife very much now. If you continue to follow the second wife, you will not have a good life."

The old daughter-in-law Bai came back to her senses, her expression still shocked: "Aunt Lai, you want me to betray my master, I can't do it."

"It's not betrayal, it's knowledge of the times." Everyone coaxed Lai, "You don't think about yourself, you also think about your two daughters. Do you want them to be slaves for the rest of their lives?"

Old Bai's wife is the mother of Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er. Now Jin Chuan'er is four years old and Yu Chuan'er is three years old.

"The second wife has done so many bad things, she doesn't deserve your loyalty. Besides, you are helping Master Lian."

"Master Lian asked you to come to me?"

"Yes, Young Master Lian went to Jiangnan before, and the second wife sent someone to assassinate Young Master Lian, which completely angered Young Master Lian, so Young Master Lian wanted to bring down Second Wife."

"I know about this."

"Since you know, then you still want to continue to help the second wife do bad things? Do you work for a tiger?"

"I have never harmed anyone, and the things that harmed others were all done by Zhou Rui's family."

"If you agree, your two daughters will be able to work with Master Lian in the future." Everyone Lai continued to persuade, "You also want your two daughters to marry a good family in the future and work for Master Lian." For the sake of your help, Master Lian will definitely give your two daughters a good future. You see, my son is serving Master Lian now. Not only is he living a very good life, he is also very honorable. Master Lian also Said that my son has performed very well, and I will recommend my son to be an official in the future."

"Master Lian really said that?"

"I can still lie to you. Young Master Lian has a good temper and is very kind to his servants." Everyone Lai said with a smile, "You will definitely have a son in the future. When the time comes, Young Master Lian will see that you have helped me a lot. I will recommend your son to be an official."

When Bai's old daughter-in-law heard Lai's words, she was immediately moved.She is still young and can give birth, and she will definitely give birth to a son.When their son grows up and is recommended by Young Master Lian to be an official, their family will flourish.

"If it weren't for the fact that you and I have a good relationship, I wouldn't have told you about this." Everyone Lai said, "Why are you still hesitating? You don't want your son to be an official in the future?"

"Think!" Who wouldn't want to!Who wants to be a slave and serve others all his life!

"Then do you agree?"

"Promise!" Bai's old daughter-in-law agreed very readily this time.

Seeing that Bai's old daughter-in-law agreed, Lai everyone smiled with satisfaction: "Then tell me."

"Where do you say it?"

"You can say it from wherever you want." After finishing speaking, everyone Lai added, "Tell me first what harmful things the second wife has done. Have you ever harmed Master Lian and his family before?"

When Bai's old daughter-in-law heard this, she hesitated for a while, but she spoke soon.

"Yes, the second wife has harmed Master Lian's family several times."

"How many times?"

"The first time is the eldest lady!"

Everyone Lai was startled by the old wife's words, and exclaimed, "What? Ma'am?"

Bai's old daughter-in-law was very guilty. Seeing Lai everyone's voice was so loud, panic showed on her face, and she hurriedly said, "Keep your voice down."

Everyone Lai realized that his voice was a bit loud, so he quickly lowered his voice: "What did the second wife do to the first wife?"

"Before the eldest wife was in poor health because of the death of the young master, that is, Master Hu. Later, after the birth of Master Lian, her health became even worse. At that time, the eldest wife had been taking medicine, and the second wife was in the university. There is poison in the wife's medicine."

"That is to say, the eldest wife didn't die of illness, but was poisoned to death?"

"Yes, Master Hu was also poisoned to death back then, and the second wife also put poison into Master Hu's medicine."

Everyone Lai has served in the Jia Mansion for so many years, and has seen all kinds of methods. Hearing these words now, he couldn't help being frightened.

"The second wife is too vicious, right?!"

"Master Lian was not smart when he was a child, and he doesn't like reading when he grows up. He eats, drinks and has fun all day long. Otherwise, Master Lian will also be murdered."

Everyone Lai gasped in fright: "Second Wife..."

"Eldest young master, that is, when young master Zhu was alive, there was a rumor for a while that young master Lian bought poems from a wandering Taoist priest. That was when young master Zhu was walking with the second wife."

Lai everyone: "..."

"The second wife lost a lot of money by betting before, and the total amount of money before and after is about 12 taels of silver!"

"What?!" Everyone Lai almost screamed again, "Where did she get so much money?"

"Of course the second wife doesn't have so much money. She sold the ancestral land outside the capital."

"What? Sell the ancestral land? The second wife is so bold..."

"Second Wife's accounts are managed by Zhou Rui's family. I don't know the details. I only know that Second Wife has taken a lot of money from the office over the years and put it into her small treasury."

Lai everyone: "!!!!!!" I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.

"That's all I know."

Everyone Lai took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and then smiled at the old wife Bai: "You know enough, I really didn't expect the second wife to be so sinister and vicious!" Although she knew that the second wife was not What kind of Bodhisattva, scheming and calculating, but I didn't expect the second wife to be so vicious, poisoning the young master and the eldest wife to death one after another, and even taking the money from the public. This matter is lawless!

"When you tell Master Lian, don't forget to promise me."

"Don't worry, I will definitely tell Master Lian."

Everyone Lai said a few more insignificant things to the old wife Bai, and then left.

The old daughter-in-law brought Mr. Lai to the door, and looked at Mr. Lai's leaving back, feeling no guilt or uneasiness in her heart.Originally, she felt sorry for Mrs. Wang, after all, her behavior was a betrayal of her master.However, when she said that Mrs. Wang had killed the eldest wife and Jia Hu, she felt a little better for no reason, and her guilt towards Mrs. Wang was not so strong.

Although she didn't help Mrs. Wang do anything harmful, but she always knew it, but she didn't reach out to stop it, and let the eldest wife and young master Hu die. This has always been a disease in her heart.

Her heart is not as cruel as that of Zhou Rui's family, so she can't act indifferently, which is also the reason why she doesn't want to do anything.

Everyone Lai came home at night and told Lai Shangrong everything the old wife Bai had said.

Lai Shangrong told Jia Lian the next day.

After Jia Lian heard this, he gritted his teeth in anger, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger, and his handsome face was distorted and hideous because of anger.

Lai Shangrong was frightened by Jia Lian's angry appearance, it was the first time he saw Jia Lian so angry.

At this time, Jia Lian was like Shura crawling out of hell, very terrifying!
