Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

Jia Zhen: "So let's mess up this matter!"

"Master, this is a matter between Concubine Nan'an and the old lady of that mansion, it's not good for us to stop it?" You Shi hesitated.

"It's good for you, too. Would you like a mother-in-law above to take care of you every day?"

Youshi cheered up and shook his head.

Jia Zhen hurriedly pushed Youshi to go out, asking her to go with her to get rid of the old woman.The two of them intended to disturb this matter, but they both felt apprehensive in front of the Fulu Hall, and hesitated for a long time before asking someone.Knowing that the old man hadn't had time to meet the old lady, Jia Zhen suddenly got excited, lifted up her robe, and strode in. While walking, she whispered to the maids in the courtyard not to disturb the old man.

You Shi followed closely and met the woman who was waiting in the hall.Youshi observed her carefully, she really deserved to be the person next to Concubine Nan'an, she heard people said that she had been waiting for more than an hour, and now she saw them with a humble attitude, not a little emotional.

Youshi quickly helped her to sit and asked someone to prepare good tea for her.

Jia Zhen looked at her coldly and didn't give her a good look.

"This?" Chen Pozi looked at You Shi anxiously.

Youshi played a white face and asked Mrs. Chen: "I heard that Concubine Nan'an called you here? Look, I just found out that the news rushed over, and I actually neglected you."

"Grandma Zhen was joking. It's a servant who disturbed me rashly. There is no rule, but she was ordered by the concubine to do so. I wonder if your master is back now?" Mrs. Chen poked her head out.

"I'm back, but I'm busy with business, so I don't have time to see you." After You Shi finished speaking in an apologetic tone, Jia Zhen snorted coldly.

Mrs. Chen understood, she got up and said goodbye, saying she would come back another day.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that our master has long since had no intention of continuing, otherwise, as a son, I would have thought of helping him." Jia Zhen deliberately stopped talking.

Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said that she had misunderstood, explaining that she came today to greet Master Jing on behalf of Concubine Nan'an, and there was absolutely no reason to meddle in other people's family affairs.

"Toffee Concubine grew up watching Master Jing. Today, the old man came to Rong Mansion to hear Mr. Shi mention it, so she missed it. Since the Grand Master is busy with work, this old slave will not bother her."

After saying that, Mrs. Chen got up and left, no matter how you tried to persuade Youshi to stay, she left decisively.

You Shi sent someone off, and when he came back, he stared at Jia Zhen.

"What are you staring at me for?"

"Master, what you just said was reckless. It was their fault to meddle in their own business, but now it's our fault." You Shi complained.

"I didn't know that old lady was glib." Jia Zhen said angrily.

"Will it offend people because of this? What should the concubine care about?" Youshi was a little scared.

Mrs. Song came in, passed on Yan Liang's words, and led Jia Zhen to the study.Because of this, Youshi became even more disturbed.

After a while, Mrs. Song came back, "Master told Grandma not to go around with Rong Mansion and Nan'an County Prince's Mansion in the next few days."

You Shi was thinking about how to apologize to save the situation just now, and he was a little confused when he heard this.Seeing Mrs. Song's words clearly and staring at her eagerly, You Shi suddenly became a little clear.

Tell them not to walk around with the Rong Mansion, the master will definitely not like Nan'an Concubine and the others meddling in their business, and what she and the uncle did just suits the master's mind...

Youshi suddenly felt a little scared, master, did she plan to do something like this with him?Fortunately, she and the uncle's self-assessment this time is in line with the master's mind. If not, the couple would have suffered a lot.

In the study, Jia Zhen shrank her neck and stood in front of the desk, quietly waiting for her father to finish writing.

Yan Liang was wearing a stone-blue Ning silk straight gown, his straight body leaned forward slightly, and his writing was chic.The light shines through the paper window on his half-drooped eyes, and the thick eyelashes are actually reflected. The deep eyes are matched with a straight nose and delicate eyebrows, which are extremely beautiful.

Jia Zhen couldn't help but secretly sighed in her heart that her father was really extraordinary in appearance, and she was about to marry him as a man.But the father's good looks are not the immaturity of those handsome young men with greasy hair and pink face, but the mature and elegant demeanor exuded from his whole body, which makes people feel admiration and closeness in his heart.However, his face is cold and his heart is cold, and he is like a cold moon far away on the zenith, making people unable to get too close.

The so-called untouchable is the best, his father is like this, definitely rare for men of his age.

Jia Zhen is naturally proud to have such a grand father.It's just that he was puzzled, how come he didn't see his father with such a grandeur a few years ago, and his appearance has not changed...

"Did you hear what I said?" Yan Liang put down his pen, looked up at Jia Zhen who looked at him blankly, and frowned slightly, "Only by learning and taking appointments can you accumulate a lot of money. No matter how old you are when you study and become a student, No one jokes, being a father is for your own good."

Jia Zhen nodded obediently.

"In the future, don't pretend to be sick and skip class. If you think of your meritorious service today, you won't be punished."

Jia Zhen was shocked and hurriedly apologized to Yan Liang.It seems that he will not be able to make small moves under the eyes of the master in the future. The master's eyes are comparable to Sun Monkey's.

After going out, Jia Zhen and Youshi meet up, and both of them are afraid of having an affair.

Yan Liang has a lot of helplessness towards Jia Zhen's son. He has been determined for too long, and it is really difficult to get rid of his bad habits one by one. Fortunately, he still knows how to do superficial skills. It's good to cause trouble.As for the rest, just take your time.

As for the matter of teaching Jia Zhen, follow the old method. Right now, Yan Liang has something more to pay attention to, which is to serve as the chief examiner this autumn.It seems to be a good thing, with some power, but it also has the danger of attracting the wind, many people are staring at it, and some are jealous and unconvinced, waiting to see his jokes or stumbling.Therefore, you must be cautious in everything you do, and the most important thing in the autumn test is naturally the test questions. Remember to avoid making scandals from this, or he will really end up being the biggest laughing stock.

Over the years, the Ministry of Rites was in charge of the imperial examinations, and there was a fixed process for setting the questions, but this time the questioning officer was personally selected by Yan Liang from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy, which was different from the usual practice in previous years.There were a lot of criticisms for his role in this book, and this move naturally attracted more people's discussions, and some people even came to the emperor, saying that he was unable to bear the heavy responsibility.

The emperor also felt that Yan Liang's selection method was sloppy, and asked him, "Can Ai Qing explain?"

Yan Liang: "Go back to the emperor, no."

"I feel that the old people should be appointed for this scientific examination. Skills will bring out the skills, so that we can select talents suitable for the imperial court. After all, this is a major imperial examination, which is held every three years. It is not allowed to give people the opportunity to make mistakes. If those candidates are delayed We will have to wait another three years! This person can wait, but the court cannot wait. Who can take responsibility for delaying the country's plans?" Xu Chong, the minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and said.

Yan Liang glanced sideways at Xu Chong, then turned his head to look forward with a cold face.

Qi Shen waited for a while, observed Yan Liang's expression, and then asked Xu Chong with a smile: "I think Mr. Xu has profound insights. Is there any suitable person to recommend?"

"There is one, Ma Zhou, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, who was born in the second place, full of poetry and books, and has experienced in the Ministry of Rites for many years, so he is well versed in..." Xu Chong pulled out a series of perfect words to describe Ma Zhou.

This Mazhou Yan Liang naturally knew that, as Xu Chong said, he had this ability, and not only that, his mother was also a cousin of the Ninth Prince's biological mother.Because of the kinship relationship, he was closer to the Ninth Prince and was trusted by him.

that's what they're for

"I have a different opinion..." Wu Min suddenly stood up and spoke nice words for Yan Liang.Obviously, his move was instructed by Qi Shengao.

The emperor heard that the attitudes of the two parties were at a stalemate, and there were interspersed jokes in the middle of recommending a third person, which became more and more chaotic.The emperor was annoyed and asked Yan Liang to express his opinion.

The court suddenly fell silent, and all the ministers looked at the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials who was particularly lucky recently, curious about what he would say.

Yan Liang came out, clasped his hands in salute, and said only one sentence: "The emperor is wise, and I will live up to my expectations."

"..."

Everyone was stunned.

Taifu Li, who doesn't like to meddle in things, twisted it deliberately at this time, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and actually smiled. He looked at Yan Liang in a different way.

Observing his reaction, Qi Shengao slowed down a bit, and suddenly came out of the queue, followed by Yan Liang and shouted "The emperor is holy".Umin followed closely behind.

"Okay, very good, hahaha..." The emperor laughed happily.

Seeing this, other ministers also shouted.Xu Chong, Ma Zhou and the others panicked, not knowing why.Ma Zhou waited until the emperor looked at him with sharp eyes, and then he understood the meaning of Jia Yanliang's words, and led Xu Chong and others to kowtow and shout "The emperor is holy".

This is how it went.

After going to court, Xu Chong didn't understand, so he chased Ma Zhou and asked.

"This new Minister of the Ministry of Officials is not easy to deal with." Ma Zhou suppressed his mouth and squinted at Xu Chong, "Don't understand? Let me ask you, who promoted him to be Minister of the Ministry of Officials?"

Xu Chong: "Of course it's the emperor!"

"That's why they dismissed us easily with the words of the emperor's wisdom. When we question Jia Yanliang at this moment, we are questioning the emperor's vision! Do you think the emperor can be happy?" Ma Zhou explained.

Xu Chong suddenly realized, patted his thigh, and gasped: "This guy is eloquent."

"It seems that if you want to join him next time, you have to have real evidence." Ma Zhou said with a frown.

Xu Chong cursed a few words to vent his anger, and after saying goodbye to Ma Zhou, he went home early to seek a clean life, but his wife and son were nowhere to be seen.After asking, I found out that they went to visit the eldest daughter-in-law's grandmother's house together.

The three of them returned before dusk.

Feng Shi said to Xu Chong: "Master, do you know about Mr. Jia from Ningfu who will be taking the exam this autumn?"

"What?" Xu Chong frowned.

"Our son always fails in the imperial examinations. Thanks to my daughter-in-law and her grandmother who helped to worry about it, they said that they would invite the chief examiner to help guide our son. This time, the master doesn't have to be afraid that Wen'er will fail the exam this time."

"Nonsense! Not to mention that this move is really sneaky, not a gentleman's act, but I agreed. That Jia Yanliang is very arrogant, how could he buy the concubine's account? After all, the king of Nan'an County is the king of the opposite sex."

"That's not necessarily the case. The Nan'an County Prince's Mansion has a very close relationship with the Jia family. Her old man and Shi Taijun are even more like sisters. She said she has an idea, so naturally she has an idea."

Xu Chong was dubious, but the old concubine could help, and he was happy to see the success, because his son was so disappointing in his official career.

……

After Yan Liang came down to the court, he immediately ordered people to investigate the backgrounds of several officials who made the questions. He alone saw that the candidates with clean karma were no longer good enough, and those who had ties to Xu Chong and Ma Zhou also had to be eliminated.After all, he can only see the evil causes of people's past and present crimes.If a good person turns bad later, it will be difficult to guard against, and it is necessary to plan ahead.

As soon as Yan Liang finished making arrangements, the old lady of the Rong Mansion over there sent a message that Xichun must be brought to her place.

The author has something to say: Is the update rolling out on the bed still warm (*??`*)?" Please catch it!

Thank you dear ones for feeding the mines, because the claw machine can’t see the mine throwing records, I will thank you all later, I saw several familiar figures in the message yesterday, Kaisen, my heart is warm, okay?
