Amnesty's daily life
Chapter 175
With the mentality of not being able to deceive his great-grandmother, Twelve told Wang Xifeng everything he knew about the draft in the palace.
Of course, in fact, Twelve doesn’t know what he knows. Don’t think that he was the emperor in his previous life. The problem is that the emperor does not interfere in the draft. If there is a general election, he will be distracted. Unfortunately, the small election is really not important. .Bisheng, although Twelve doesn't know the real situation of the draft, but he understands the thoughts of the nobles above.
"...Sister Feng, in fact, you can think so. We are not the masters in the mansion? Have you ever seen a master who intervened in the mansion to buy maids? It is necessary to report after buying, but it is not necessary. Have a look at it yourself. If the general election is to choose a daughter-in-law, aunt, and maid, then the small election is to choose a little maid. If it is reliable, you can become a big maid after a few years. If it is unreliable, sell it It doesn't matter if it's idle, it doesn't matter if it's left or right!"
Twelve vividly described the nobles' mentality towards big and small elections. To put it bluntly, so what if it's a general election?Even if you are picking a daughter-in-law today, people in the royal family are all high-ranking. At most, they have changed from indifference to contempt, basically there is not much difference.
In other words, there is still a difference, just like the difference between the first-class maids of Rongguo Mansion and the rough envoy maids.
Seeing that Wang Xifeng was still a little dazed, Twelve explained again: "That being said, our family still values our first wife very much, and there are thousands of choices for marriage. Apart from matching the family, it also depends on one's preferences. It is said that marrying a wife is a marriage, and it is a strong alliance, not just pulling one person to make up the number."
"But the royal family just picked one at random..." Wang Xifeng subconsciously said, with disbelief on his face.
"Casual is not very casual. It's like my mother picks a maid, but also observes her appearance, figure, character, performance and so on. It's like buying a set of expensive and rare jewelry. Why don't you take a closer look?" Twelve raised his eyebrows Said, "Remember, that's picking things. My mother never regarded the maids in front of her as her equals, and those noble people above didn't even treat their first wives as one thing."
——Let's talk about the female officials and palace ladies selected by the election.
Wang Xifeng understood, but still seemed a little confused.To be honest, even though the elders of the Wang family never planned to let their daughters enter the palace, because of their status and status, they have heard about things in the palace.
It can only be said that Twelve's words completely overturned Wang Xifeng's previous impression of the Sixth Court of Shen Gong.
I thought that the Sixth Courtyard of the Shengong must be picturesque, not only the scenery is beautiful, but the people inside are even more beautiful. It is like a fairyland-like garden where a group of gods and fairies lived, and they lived a carefree life every day. Food and clothing are all exquisite and rare...
"You think too much." Twelve looked at Wang Xifeng speechlessly, and just now Wang Xifeng subconsciously expressed her impression of the palace, which made Twelve almost unable to hold back her criticism, "The scenery in the palace is very beautiful." Beautiful, people are not ugly, but everything else is wrong."
Carefree and carefree is simply nonsense, even in the twelve previous lives, except for being protected by Nala Shuxian when he was young, he did not experience any wind and rain. difficult.At that time, Nala Shuxian was the favorite, and because of the age gap, there were not many other elder brothers in the elder brother's office.Even so, there is no carefree and happy place there.
As for the cost of food and clothing, in fact, that's all.Considering the unreliability of the emperor, some rare things are not sent to the palace at all. I think so, if it is extremely rare, the emperor thinks it is good to eat or use it, and he will continue to pay tribute in the future.So the things sent to the palace are only fine, but not rare.In addition, everyone except the emperor has a fixed quota, and after that, it will be gone, unless you post money yourself.
That's all for the others, at least the queen's [-]th case is clearly remembered.
Calculated according to the year, the silver is exactly 1000 taels, remember, this is a year.Two bolts of python satin, two bolts of patched satin, and two bolts of woven gold...the total number of satins of various colors is less than forty; the number of palace silk and other silks is less than ten; the number of yarn is less than thirty; There are nearly a hundred pieces of cloth and cloth, but these are worthless, including coarse cloth; silk thread, cotton thread, woolen thread, etc. are about [-] catties; mink fur is about [-] pieces.
There are also daily consumption of food, from pork to chicken, duck and sheep, and from japonica rice to yellow rice, glutinous rice, white noodles, buckwheat noodles, all have quotas, and the same is true for seasonings, which are similar to those of honey, walnuts, and wolfberries. Classes are counted by two.Not to mention oil, gold is expensive, even eggs are rare.As for those fresh vegetables and eggplants, there are all quantity regulations, and they are so small that they are outrageous.
Basically, it can be said that the distribution of the regulations in the palace is not enough to live at all. If the masters of the palaces are favored, the servants will pay for it out of their own pockets. deliver.On a day like Queen Qianqiu's, it's not uncommon to receive gifts totaling 30 to [-] yuan.But what if the master is not favored?Just wait, unless the natal family is willing to add money to subsidize, otherwise the life will not be as good as when I was in the natal family.
And these only refer to the queen and concubines.
What about the maid of honor?Twelve said that he didn't pay attention to it at all, but he also knew it, what good could it be?You can't wear silk and satin, and you can't wear jewelry with hairpins and pendants that can shake. Even the number of bare hairpins is regulated.By the way, there can't be large embroidered patterns on the clothes, dark patterns are allowed, but who cares about that?What's even more frightening is that from the day of entering the palace, you can no longer eat delicious food, lest you offend the nobleman.
Wang Xifeng: "..."
To be honest, Wang Xifeng was completely petrified by the scene described by Twelve.Even though most of the things were guessed by Twelve, because what he said was too certain, and Wang Xifeng at this time was just a girl who had just turned 11 years old, so he was bluffed like this.
Just because according to Twelve's description, the entire Sixth Courtyard of the Deep Palace is like a purgatory on earth.
Then why would some people desperately go inside? !
This is a great question, apart from Jiamu and Erfang being unreliable, the real reason is of course being rich and charming.I also know that the rules are for the people below, and the real nobles don't need to care about these.Few people really care about such things as rations, just like Jia She now has two fixed salaries, one is the salary of a first-class general, and the other is a bachelor's degree from the fourth-rank cabinet that he has just been promoted to.However, in fact, no one in the entire Rongguo Mansion took this matter to heart, and even Jia She himself didn't know who had helped him receive his salary twice a year for these years.
However, since the salary is so low, why are there so many people desperately wanting to become an official?
The reason is very simple, but it's just the word "right".Once in power, the money will not come in a steady stream?Not to mention anything else, let's take Jia She as an example, the three festivals and two birthdays every year, ice charcoal filial piety, these are all allowed by the superiors, and these alone are enough to support a large family in Rongguo Mansion, and they can save a lot of money.
In essence, the Sixth Courtyard of the Deep Palace is no different from the imperial court. They have the same rank, the same status/salary, and the same almost dreamlike promotion path...
"It's terrible." After a long time, Wang Xifeng only let out a long sigh.Even if she knew that the palace was similar to the court, she still felt that it was simply too scary.The palace is a battlefield for women to fight, and it is a dead end that once you enter, you can never get out.As for the court, at least there is a chance to breathe, accompanied by family members, and it is also allowed to withdraw midway.
"Sister Feng, you don't have to mention what I said to you. I know you are worried about her, but unfortunately it's useless. They... especially the old lady, who entered the palace many times in the early years, how can they be unclear? The twists and turns in it? It’s nothing more than seeing that Erfang is getting worse and worse, so I plan to fight.”
"I see." Although she was a little bit embarrassed, Wang Xifeng knew exactly what to say, and it was best not to say a single word.That's why after she became suspicious, she chose to ask Sister Ying secretly instead of asking Sister Yuan rashly.
It can be said that from the moment when Jiamu and Erfang made up their minds to send Sister Yuan to the palace, Sister Yuan was different from all other family members.
There are still two years, to be precise, less than two years.It is now late July, and the imperial examination is about to begin in August.The big and small elections are held in the early spring two years later, usually in February and March.In other words, Sister Yuan can stay in Rongguo Mansion for another year and a half.
If Sister Yuan could live in the palace, the remaining year and a half would probably be her last time with her family.If he is ignored by everyone, he will leave the palace and go home before he turns 25.I just don't know which of the two endings is better.
……
Wang Xifeng completely understood what Twelve said, but Yingjieer only half-understood it.Even so, there was at least one thing that Sister Ying understood.
Sister Yuan can still stay in the mansion for about a year and a half, after which she will leave, to a place where Sister Ying can never go.
"Sister Yuan, the second girl will miss you very much, she will definitely." Sister Ying remembered Twelve's advice, don't say things that scare people to death, but she couldn't hold back and ran to Sister Yuan In the yard, while resting at night, she hugged Sister Yuan tightly and burst into tears.
To be honest, sister Yuan was a little confused.
The matter of entering the palace is basically not a secret, at least in the Rongguo Mansion.But even so, Sister Yuan didn't think so long-term.I also know that it will happen a long time later, when she grows up.However, Sister Yuan did not expect that it is really easy to grow up, and time is the cruelest thing.
"That will happen a long, long time later." Sister Yuan took a handkerchief to wipe away tears for Sister Ying after she was in a trance, and comforted her with a smile, "I won't leave until we grow up. Second girl don't need to worry."
"But, but..." Sister Ying thought about it seriously, and after confirming that Twelve didn't tell her not to tell the time, she said with a sad face, "Little brother said, there is still one and a half years, and Sister Yuan is going to leave." I left. I also asked my little brother how long a year and a half is. The little brother said that Brother Jing was born on the second day of February last year, and now he is one and a half years old... woo woo woo woo!"
From the beginning of February last year to the end of July this year, it was almost a year and a half.Perhaps pure time does not have a deep concept for Yingjie, but Yingjie clearly remembers, as if not long ago, Brother Jing was still small and ugly, but now he has become a little chubby, so It can be seen that sister Yuan will be leaving soon.
Sister Ying was very sad, she never thought that one day she would be separated from her family.It's fine if it's like the unlucky brother Zhen who was expelled from the East Mansion next door.Even when Rong'er was taken back to the next-door East Mansion by his grandparents, Sister Ying wasn't too sad, after all, if she was determined to meet, it would be quite easy.At least she can make Twelve make a fuss and take her to Dongfu for half a day.
But sister Yuan is different.
"A year and a half..." It was the first time that Sister Yuan panicked when she heard such an exact time.She always feels that there is still a long time to go, and she never deliberately counts the days.But now that Sister Ying said so, it seemed as if parting was close at hand.
It took half the night to appease Sister Ying, and this day, Sister Ying did rest in Sister Yuan's room.But in the early morning of the next day, Sister Yuan temporarily entrusted Sister Ying to Wang Xifeng to take care of her, and hurried to Lixiangyuan by herself.
Another year and a half.
Only a year and a half left!
Sister Yuan, who had been extremely stable and generous since she was a child, was completely flustered.She feels that she still has a lot to learn, she still doesn't know anything, she has never watched her brother get into the first prize, and she has never watched her brother grow up, and she has never taken care of her parents for a day, even her father still in prison...
And she's leaving!
No one expected that it was because Wang Xifeng inadvertently asked about Twelve Eleven that the chain reaction that followed would be triggered.Sister Yuan became more open-minded and eager to learn, and she was more willing to spend the little rest time to get along well with her family. She became more filial to her elders, and more friendly to her brothers and sisters, but she became more and more friendly to herself. It's hot.
There are two direct consequences.
First, after the end of the imperial examination in August, Sister Yuan fell ill.
Second, Jia Amnesty really couldn't see him, and finally made up his mind to get Jia Zheng back.
The former is more troublesome. Sister Yuan is actually a weak person born with a deficiency syndrome brought out of her mother's womb.It's not particularly serious. After all, she was not born prematurely, nor was she weak. It was just because Mrs. Wang conceived her again shortly after giving birth to Brother Zhu. Just over a year old.One must know that Sister Yuan was born in New Year's Eve. Converted to a specific time, Mrs. Wang conceived Sister Yuan again only half a year after giving birth to Brother Zhu.
The only good thing is that Mrs. Wang took care of Sister Yuan very carefully. Even if Sister Yuan was weaker when she was young, she was no different from other children when she was three or four years old.However, after all, it is a natural deficiency syndrome, but once it falls ill, it will be menacing.In particular, Sister Yuan is still suffering from heart disease.
The latter is easier, don't look at Jia Zheng being thrown into the prison, but it was Prince Lian who did it, and ordered the guards in the palace to take it down and throw him into the dungeon out of anger, there was no routine at all. program.Since there was no routine procedure when going in, it would be much more convenient to come out, provided that Prince Lian let go.
So, a few days after Sister Yuan fell ill, Jia Amnesty went to Prince Lian's mansion again.
"Oh, Your Highness, Prince Lian, please let me let go of my second brother, okay? The Holy Majesty just dismissed his official position and never made a judgment. Even if you are angry with him for beating me that day, it's a big deal after I take him back to the mansion. , beat him up again, won't it be over?" Jia She thought very well, that day Changqing Emperor did not give Jia Zheng any other punishment, except for cutting Jia Zheng's official position, and it was precisely because of this that this incident There is room for change.
Prince Lian glanced at Jia She, and said with great disgust: "I didn't throw him into the prison because he beat you! It's clear that he caused trouble in the palace and didn't pay attention to the royal family."
"Yes yes yes, what you said is true, what you say is right." Jia She didn't care about this, and just kept urging, "Then can you give him an order to let him go? Don't worry, I will definitely clean up when I go back. his."
"you sure?"
"What is there to be sure about? He was dismissed by the Holy Majesty himself, and he will never be hired... If you want me to say, the Holy Majesty is quite free, why do you have to add the last sentence? If there is no such sentence, Jia Zheng Don’t you have something to do? Let him study, let him take the imperial examination, force him to death!”
Jia She doesn't think at all that with Jia Zheng's ability, he can pass the imperial examination to become an official. After all, the late Rongguo Duke Jia Daishan obtained his official position on his behalf. Unless he has the ability to find someone to apply for an official position for him Otherwise, this life will be like that.However, Emperor Changqing destroyed all his hopes, and at the same time let him have nothing to do.
Why? !
Hearing this, Prince Lian thought for a moment before he said, "It would not be difficult if only the last item was exempted from the Holy Majesty. But, are you sure that he won't pass the imperial examination?"
"Don't worry, he will definitely not pass the exam!" Jia She said categorically, "As cowardly as he is, I will take the exam ten more times to ensure that he won't even pass the provincial exam... No, he won't even pass the exam. By the way, can you let me pass the exam? Has the holy order ordered him to start the exam from the boy student exam? He didn't take the exam before, and he directly took the quota of the Imperial College's supervising students, and started the exam from the general exam."
At the thought of being able to ruthlessly trick his own stupid brother, Jia Amnesty almost risked his life.What is a child test?Previously, Jia Zheng studied with Brother Zhu, Brother Lian and others, but now he is asked to study with the newborn Shitou... oh no, it is the second brother, the second brother, and the third brother.
It would be best to let Brother Zhu get married and have children earlier, and let Jia Zheng go to school with his eldest grandson! !
Tsk tsk, when you think about it carefully, this picture is simply intoxicating.
Although this idea sounds very unreliable, but Prince Xu Shilian has long been used to it, or he also wants to cheat Jia Zheng, so he fully agrees, and he will definitely try to persuade Emperor Changqing to take back the "eternal Do not hire" verbal instructions.
Fortunately, it was only a verbal instruction, even if Prince Lian hadn't specifically mentioned it, Emperor Changqing would have completely forgotten about it.Fortunately, even if he remembered it, Emperor Changqing didn't take it seriously.Unlike Prince Lian who was worried that Jia Zheng would be admitted as a corrupt official again, Emperor Changqing had no hope for Jia Zheng at all.
"Jia Zheng is not only stupid, but also self-righteous. He always feels that he is a thousand-mile horse who has never met Bole, but he is just a stupid donkey." Emperor Changqing's evaluation of Jia Zheng couldn't be worse. Basically, with his words, Even if Jia Zheng passed the exam, he would definitely not have a bright future.
——What do you think if the new emperor takes office?Hehehe!
"That's right." Emperor Changqing suddenly remembered something, and asked Prince Lian, "For no reason, why did Jia Amnesty immediately fish out Jia Zheng? But what happened to the Rongguo Mansion?"
Of course, Prince Lian couldn't answer. He had an iceberg-faced face on the surface, but he was talking stupid and cute bastard in secret. Unfortunately, he didn't have the attributes of the Emperor of Truth at all.
So, as soon as he left the palace, Prince Lian hurriedly went to Rongguo Mansion.
There is no way, who made there were a lot of princes in the palace when I was young, and they were all very similar in age.If it's like Zhu Ge'er and Lian Ge'er in Rongguo Mansion, one worked hard and the other copied crazily, then there would be no contradiction.It's a pity that the princes generally love to compete, especially in front of Emperor Changqing.
Don't look at Emperor Changqing who is becoming more and more kind now, but when he was young, he was definitely a strict father. It was nothing more than a love for the school exams, and he always praised and rewarded the first place in front of everyone. , By the way, the last one was sprayed bloody.
Under such circumstances, Prince Lian directly developed a habit. If he couldn't answer the questions of Emperor Changqing, he would feel uncomfortable all over. all questions.
Prince Lian relived the memories of his childhood and youth, and by the way, became passionate again.But in this way, the whole Rongguo Mansion was bluffed.
Seeing Jia's amnesty, Prince Lian immediately said, "Your Majesty has spared Jia Zheng from the punishment of never being hired, and you can pick him up tomorrow. But why did you suddenly think of this? Isn't that right?" What happened to your house?"
In good conscience, Jia She was terrified. He felt that Prince Lian was either ill, or fell in love with him suddenly...
Otherwise, why do you care so much about whether something happened to his family? !Isn't this a pain in the ass what is it? !
"Nothing happened, but my niece fell ill, and the doctor said she was depressed, so I wondered if it was because of my second brother, or because of her minor election to the palace. But these two things In fact, it is just one thing. Although the small election has no high requirements, if my second brother stays in the prison and cannot get out, she is the daughter of a sinner and cannot participate in the small election. Besides, my second brother also I've been in it for too long, and I'm also a little...a little bit unbearable."
Prince Lian looked puzzled, and angrily said: "Are you crazy or stupid? Your niece is a small selection for the palace? It's not right to be a daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and go to the palace to serve tea and water as a court lady?"
Jia Amnesty was sprayed all over the face, but she still didn't have the courage to confront Prince Lian, so she could only smile helplessly and said, "That's my niece, not my daughter."
There is some truth to this statement.
But immediately, Prince Lian sneered again: "Hmph, Jia Zheng is really stupid."
Under normal circumstances, being humiliated to one's own younger brother in person would definitely make one angry. Even if Jia She despised Jia Zheng in every possible way on weekdays, he would not be able to tolerate it.However, if the opponent is replaced by Prince Lian, there is nothing he can't bear.
"Yes, what you said, Your Highness Prince Lian, is so reasonable!" Jia She risked his life to praise Prince Lian, but unfortunately all he got was a disgusted look from Prince Lian.
Now that the matter has been clarified, Prince Lian does not intend to stay here to listen to Jia Amnesty's worthless compliments.But before leaving, Prince Lian still couldn't help asking: "Do I need to order your niece to go to the general election?"
"Don't mind!" Jia She hastily stopped him, "The small election is one day away from the palace, and the general election is over! Besides, my niece is only 12 years old this year, my lord...hehe, I mean, my stupid brother I always wanted his daughter to serve the former Crown Prince."
"Is he stupid?!" Prince Lian made another breakthrough.
"Yes, yes, he is stupid." Jia She nodded madly, "His Royal Highness Lian Wang, please do it, don't follow that idiot's idea, my niece is still sensible and prudent, and my family is not letting her go. It is inevitable for people to squeeze flat and round, and it is inevitable that something will happen.”
If Sister Yuan's family background was included in the general election, she would really have to be pinched and rounded.However, in the small election, nothing will happen to her.There is a saying, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, considering the current situation in Rongguo Mansion, especially with the uncle Jia She, it is still easy to arrange a decent job for her, at worst, wait until she is 25 years old and release the palace to hire another marry.
Again, Sister Yuan is Jia She's niece, not his daughter.As an uncle, Jia She didn't want to do such thankless things.
In the end, Prince Lian left angrily, with a murderous look on his face.
When the news reached Rongqing Hall, Mother Jia fainted again very smoothly.Fortunately, not long after, Jia Amnesty rushed to Rongqing Hall and told her personally that Jia Zheng would be able to take Jia Zheng back to the mansion tomorrow, which made Jia's mother a little more relaxed.
Another day, Jia Zheng came back.
The happiest ones were naturally Jia's mother and the second wife, but unexpectedly, although Jia Zheng looked old and frail, his spirit was unexpectedly good.Mother Jia was distressed and relieved, she only said that if Jia Zheng survived a catastrophe, he must have a future blessing.On the other side of the second room, apart from Mrs. Wang who was slightly suspicious, the people around were only happy.
There is nothing to talk about on the Dafang side, then La Shuxian got the news yesterday, and the other brothers and sisters still did what they should, without being affected at all.
Because Jia Zheng hadn't had a good rest, eating and drinking for too long, he said goodbye to Jia's mother and went back to Pear Fragrance Court to freshen up and recuperate.Of course, Mother Jia would not object, and only let him have a good rest.Afterwards, Mother Jia watched Jia Zheng and others leave, and ordered people to search for high-quality medicinal materials from the box, so that Jia Zheng must be supplemented.
Jia Amnesty saw all these things in his eyes, but even he was surprised that he could no longer feel dissatisfied in his heart.
If you are eccentric, just eccentric, he is living a good life now, so there is no need to make things difficult for these two people.Especially when he thought of the conversation he had with Jia Zheng in the carriage, Jia Amnesty could only feel contempt.
Why do you think Jia Zheng is in good spirits?The reason is very simple. Jia Amnesty told Jia Zheng on the carriage that he had asked Prince Lian to intercede with Emperor Changqing, exempting Jia Zheng from the crime of never being hired. No shortcuts are allowed in the test.
Shouldn't normal people sigh when they hear this news?After all, imperial examinations are no joke.However, after Jia Zheng heard this, he bowed to Jia Amnesty sincerely, only sighed that he still had a chance, and thanked Jia Amnesty for his success.
For a moment, Jia Amnesty remembered Prince Lian's words - "Is he stupid?!"
Whether he is stupid or not is completely unimportant. The important thing is that Jia Zheng regained hope and began to study hard.
This is really not a joke, even if the imperial examination has just been completed, even if the next imperial examination is still three years away, even if Jia Zheng has to start the exam from the Tongsheng Examination... He just entered the mode of studying hard for no reason. I can't persuade you to go back.
I don't care about my wife and children, I don't want my concubines and aunts, I quit all food and wine, I just picked a small courtyard in the back of the Rongguo Mansion that had been vacant for a long time, and after a little tidying up, I lived in it.The euphemistic name is that hanging beams and stabbing stocks will definitely pay off.
To tell the truth, Jia Amnesty wasn't worried about Jia Zheng hanging his ass, what he cared about was that Jia Zheng couldn't think about it for a while, so he hanged himself by hanging himself!
Fortunately, Jia Zheng was forced to move out after only staying in the small courtyard for one night under the threat of Jia's mother crying, making troubles and hanging herself. , and it is strictly forbidden for idlers and others to disturb his study.
Regarding this, Jia She only sneered: "A fool is a fool, even if he reaches a new level of stupidity, isn't he still a fool?"
This is what Jia She dared to say, but he dared to say it but no one dared to answer it.Fortunately, the study in the front yard had been vacant for a long time. Since Jia Zheng liked it, let him stay there. It's no big deal.As for the strict prohibition of idlers from entering, it's nothing to worry about. In Rongguo Mansion, women's family members will not go to the study room. To be precise, they will not leave the second door easily at all.Among the men, Jia Amnesty hated the study so much, how could he take the initiative to throw himself into the trap?As for the boys...
Unfortunately, so far, it seems that all the brothers are more promising than Jia Zheng.
Brother Zhu and Brother Lian went to the Guozijian. If they plan to take the imperial examination in the future, they can skip the provincial examination and directly enter the general examination.Needless to say, twelve, people are rushing to the three yuan and the first.Brother Jing who is going down is not obvious now, but his demeanor is very similar to when he was twelve hours old. The specific performance is that he can eat, drink and sleep, and he is promising.The second elder brother of the second room was born with a jade title, so he will naturally have a great future. The third elder brother is a concubine, and he probably has no achievements, but he dare not say anything. He is small and has an infinite future.
After such a calculation, Jia Zheng was really sad.
……
In the blink of an eye, it was September, and the Tribute Academy released the rankings.
In the past, the Rongguo Mansion would not have paid attention to these things. In fact, except for the time when Jia She and Brother Zhen took part in the imperial examination, the Rongguo Mansion did not care about literati at all.But this time, the historian also participated.
To be honest, no one thinks that the historian can pass the exam.As a result, he already had the title of Marquis, and he knew that he would not work hard to make progress.Secondly, compared to his talent, he should be more famous for his delicate and frail reputation.
It turns out that nothing is impossible.
On the list released by the Gongyuan, the historian ranked 120th and eighth.Although this ranking is really not that good, but at least it is better than Jia She's exam in the past.You know, he fell all the way to the bottom of the list.
I'll try it in February next year, but I'm not in a hurry.Besides, the historian does not have to pass the exam, having such a good reputation is actually enough.Therefore, the uncharacteristically large banquet guests in the Bowling Marquis Mansion aroused countless envy.
Regardless of whether there are other voices in the envious crowd, at least at this moment, the Baolinghou Mansion is extremely happy.Not to mention other things, at least the uncle of the historian passed the provincial examination with his real skills.Of course, Jia Amnesty, as No. 1 in the imperial examination, was once again talked about, which made him very angry.
At the same time, Rongguo Mansion also ushered in a happy event.
First, in mid-September, Aunt Jiang started it first, and after a whole night, she gave birth to a healthy brother.At the end of September, Aunt Lin also activated it. She gave birth very smoothly. She activated it in the morning and gave birth smoothly before noon. She was also a brother.
Finally, Jia Zheng could no longer ignore his sons, and after a lot of thinking, he chose the names for the four sons in one go.
Mrs. Wang's second elder brother was born with jade in his mouth, which is a sign of great auspiciousness, so he is not taboo with other elder brothers' names, and is named Baoyu alone. His full name is Jia Baoyu, also known as Bao Erye.The remaining three concubines were named according to their age, Jia Jin, Jia Ding, and Jia Er.
For a while, the second house of Rongguo Mansion was prosperous.
Immediately, the problem came, Lixiangyuan really couldn't accommodate the second bedroom and a large family.
Of course, in fact, Twelve doesn’t know what he knows. Don’t think that he was the emperor in his previous life. The problem is that the emperor does not interfere in the draft. If there is a general election, he will be distracted. Unfortunately, the small election is really not important. .Bisheng, although Twelve doesn't know the real situation of the draft, but he understands the thoughts of the nobles above.
"...Sister Feng, in fact, you can think so. We are not the masters in the mansion? Have you ever seen a master who intervened in the mansion to buy maids? It is necessary to report after buying, but it is not necessary. Have a look at it yourself. If the general election is to choose a daughter-in-law, aunt, and maid, then the small election is to choose a little maid. If it is reliable, you can become a big maid after a few years. If it is unreliable, sell it It doesn't matter if it's idle, it doesn't matter if it's left or right!"
Twelve vividly described the nobles' mentality towards big and small elections. To put it bluntly, so what if it's a general election?Even if you are picking a daughter-in-law today, people in the royal family are all high-ranking. At most, they have changed from indifference to contempt, basically there is not much difference.
In other words, there is still a difference, just like the difference between the first-class maids of Rongguo Mansion and the rough envoy maids.
Seeing that Wang Xifeng was still a little dazed, Twelve explained again: "That being said, our family still values our first wife very much, and there are thousands of choices for marriage. Apart from matching the family, it also depends on one's preferences. It is said that marrying a wife is a marriage, and it is a strong alliance, not just pulling one person to make up the number."
"But the royal family just picked one at random..." Wang Xifeng subconsciously said, with disbelief on his face.
"Casual is not very casual. It's like my mother picks a maid, but also observes her appearance, figure, character, performance and so on. It's like buying a set of expensive and rare jewelry. Why don't you take a closer look?" Twelve raised his eyebrows Said, "Remember, that's picking things. My mother never regarded the maids in front of her as her equals, and those noble people above didn't even treat their first wives as one thing."
——Let's talk about the female officials and palace ladies selected by the election.
Wang Xifeng understood, but still seemed a little confused.To be honest, even though the elders of the Wang family never planned to let their daughters enter the palace, because of their status and status, they have heard about things in the palace.
It can only be said that Twelve's words completely overturned Wang Xifeng's previous impression of the Sixth Court of Shen Gong.
I thought that the Sixth Courtyard of the Shengong must be picturesque, not only the scenery is beautiful, but the people inside are even more beautiful. It is like a fairyland-like garden where a group of gods and fairies lived, and they lived a carefree life every day. Food and clothing are all exquisite and rare...
"You think too much." Twelve looked at Wang Xifeng speechlessly, and just now Wang Xifeng subconsciously expressed her impression of the palace, which made Twelve almost unable to hold back her criticism, "The scenery in the palace is very beautiful." Beautiful, people are not ugly, but everything else is wrong."
Carefree and carefree is simply nonsense, even in the twelve previous lives, except for being protected by Nala Shuxian when he was young, he did not experience any wind and rain. difficult.At that time, Nala Shuxian was the favorite, and because of the age gap, there were not many other elder brothers in the elder brother's office.Even so, there is no carefree and happy place there.
As for the cost of food and clothing, in fact, that's all.Considering the unreliability of the emperor, some rare things are not sent to the palace at all. I think so, if it is extremely rare, the emperor thinks it is good to eat or use it, and he will continue to pay tribute in the future.So the things sent to the palace are only fine, but not rare.In addition, everyone except the emperor has a fixed quota, and after that, it will be gone, unless you post money yourself.
That's all for the others, at least the queen's [-]th case is clearly remembered.
Calculated according to the year, the silver is exactly 1000 taels, remember, this is a year.Two bolts of python satin, two bolts of patched satin, and two bolts of woven gold...the total number of satins of various colors is less than forty; the number of palace silk and other silks is less than ten; the number of yarn is less than thirty; There are nearly a hundred pieces of cloth and cloth, but these are worthless, including coarse cloth; silk thread, cotton thread, woolen thread, etc. are about [-] catties; mink fur is about [-] pieces.
There are also daily consumption of food, from pork to chicken, duck and sheep, and from japonica rice to yellow rice, glutinous rice, white noodles, buckwheat noodles, all have quotas, and the same is true for seasonings, which are similar to those of honey, walnuts, and wolfberries. Classes are counted by two.Not to mention oil, gold is expensive, even eggs are rare.As for those fresh vegetables and eggplants, there are all quantity regulations, and they are so small that they are outrageous.
Basically, it can be said that the distribution of the regulations in the palace is not enough to live at all. If the masters of the palaces are favored, the servants will pay for it out of their own pockets. deliver.On a day like Queen Qianqiu's, it's not uncommon to receive gifts totaling 30 to [-] yuan.But what if the master is not favored?Just wait, unless the natal family is willing to add money to subsidize, otherwise the life will not be as good as when I was in the natal family.
And these only refer to the queen and concubines.
What about the maid of honor?Twelve said that he didn't pay attention to it at all, but he also knew it, what good could it be?You can't wear silk and satin, and you can't wear jewelry with hairpins and pendants that can shake. Even the number of bare hairpins is regulated.By the way, there can't be large embroidered patterns on the clothes, dark patterns are allowed, but who cares about that?What's even more frightening is that from the day of entering the palace, you can no longer eat delicious food, lest you offend the nobleman.
Wang Xifeng: "..."
To be honest, Wang Xifeng was completely petrified by the scene described by Twelve.Even though most of the things were guessed by Twelve, because what he said was too certain, and Wang Xifeng at this time was just a girl who had just turned 11 years old, so he was bluffed like this.
Just because according to Twelve's description, the entire Sixth Courtyard of the Deep Palace is like a purgatory on earth.
Then why would some people desperately go inside? !
This is a great question, apart from Jiamu and Erfang being unreliable, the real reason is of course being rich and charming.I also know that the rules are for the people below, and the real nobles don't need to care about these.Few people really care about such things as rations, just like Jia She now has two fixed salaries, one is the salary of a first-class general, and the other is a bachelor's degree from the fourth-rank cabinet that he has just been promoted to.However, in fact, no one in the entire Rongguo Mansion took this matter to heart, and even Jia She himself didn't know who had helped him receive his salary twice a year for these years.
However, since the salary is so low, why are there so many people desperately wanting to become an official?
The reason is very simple, but it's just the word "right".Once in power, the money will not come in a steady stream?Not to mention anything else, let's take Jia She as an example, the three festivals and two birthdays every year, ice charcoal filial piety, these are all allowed by the superiors, and these alone are enough to support a large family in Rongguo Mansion, and they can save a lot of money.
In essence, the Sixth Courtyard of the Deep Palace is no different from the imperial court. They have the same rank, the same status/salary, and the same almost dreamlike promotion path...
"It's terrible." After a long time, Wang Xifeng only let out a long sigh.Even if she knew that the palace was similar to the court, she still felt that it was simply too scary.The palace is a battlefield for women to fight, and it is a dead end that once you enter, you can never get out.As for the court, at least there is a chance to breathe, accompanied by family members, and it is also allowed to withdraw midway.
"Sister Feng, you don't have to mention what I said to you. I know you are worried about her, but unfortunately it's useless. They... especially the old lady, who entered the palace many times in the early years, how can they be unclear? The twists and turns in it? It’s nothing more than seeing that Erfang is getting worse and worse, so I plan to fight.”
"I see." Although she was a little bit embarrassed, Wang Xifeng knew exactly what to say, and it was best not to say a single word.That's why after she became suspicious, she chose to ask Sister Ying secretly instead of asking Sister Yuan rashly.
It can be said that from the moment when Jiamu and Erfang made up their minds to send Sister Yuan to the palace, Sister Yuan was different from all other family members.
There are still two years, to be precise, less than two years.It is now late July, and the imperial examination is about to begin in August.The big and small elections are held in the early spring two years later, usually in February and March.In other words, Sister Yuan can stay in Rongguo Mansion for another year and a half.
If Sister Yuan could live in the palace, the remaining year and a half would probably be her last time with her family.If he is ignored by everyone, he will leave the palace and go home before he turns 25.I just don't know which of the two endings is better.
……
Wang Xifeng completely understood what Twelve said, but Yingjieer only half-understood it.Even so, there was at least one thing that Sister Ying understood.
Sister Yuan can still stay in the mansion for about a year and a half, after which she will leave, to a place where Sister Ying can never go.
"Sister Yuan, the second girl will miss you very much, she will definitely." Sister Ying remembered Twelve's advice, don't say things that scare people to death, but she couldn't hold back and ran to Sister Yuan In the yard, while resting at night, she hugged Sister Yuan tightly and burst into tears.
To be honest, sister Yuan was a little confused.
The matter of entering the palace is basically not a secret, at least in the Rongguo Mansion.But even so, Sister Yuan didn't think so long-term.I also know that it will happen a long time later, when she grows up.However, Sister Yuan did not expect that it is really easy to grow up, and time is the cruelest thing.
"That will happen a long, long time later." Sister Yuan took a handkerchief to wipe away tears for Sister Ying after she was in a trance, and comforted her with a smile, "I won't leave until we grow up. Second girl don't need to worry."
"But, but..." Sister Ying thought about it seriously, and after confirming that Twelve didn't tell her not to tell the time, she said with a sad face, "Little brother said, there is still one and a half years, and Sister Yuan is going to leave." I left. I also asked my little brother how long a year and a half is. The little brother said that Brother Jing was born on the second day of February last year, and now he is one and a half years old... woo woo woo woo!"
From the beginning of February last year to the end of July this year, it was almost a year and a half.Perhaps pure time does not have a deep concept for Yingjie, but Yingjie clearly remembers, as if not long ago, Brother Jing was still small and ugly, but now he has become a little chubby, so It can be seen that sister Yuan will be leaving soon.
Sister Ying was very sad, she never thought that one day she would be separated from her family.It's fine if it's like the unlucky brother Zhen who was expelled from the East Mansion next door.Even when Rong'er was taken back to the next-door East Mansion by his grandparents, Sister Ying wasn't too sad, after all, if she was determined to meet, it would be quite easy.At least she can make Twelve make a fuss and take her to Dongfu for half a day.
But sister Yuan is different.
"A year and a half..." It was the first time that Sister Yuan panicked when she heard such an exact time.She always feels that there is still a long time to go, and she never deliberately counts the days.But now that Sister Ying said so, it seemed as if parting was close at hand.
It took half the night to appease Sister Ying, and this day, Sister Ying did rest in Sister Yuan's room.But in the early morning of the next day, Sister Yuan temporarily entrusted Sister Ying to Wang Xifeng to take care of her, and hurried to Lixiangyuan by herself.
Another year and a half.
Only a year and a half left!
Sister Yuan, who had been extremely stable and generous since she was a child, was completely flustered.She feels that she still has a lot to learn, she still doesn't know anything, she has never watched her brother get into the first prize, and she has never watched her brother grow up, and she has never taken care of her parents for a day, even her father still in prison...
And she's leaving!
No one expected that it was because Wang Xifeng inadvertently asked about Twelve Eleven that the chain reaction that followed would be triggered.Sister Yuan became more open-minded and eager to learn, and she was more willing to spend the little rest time to get along well with her family. She became more filial to her elders, and more friendly to her brothers and sisters, but she became more and more friendly to herself. It's hot.
There are two direct consequences.
First, after the end of the imperial examination in August, Sister Yuan fell ill.
Second, Jia Amnesty really couldn't see him, and finally made up his mind to get Jia Zheng back.
The former is more troublesome. Sister Yuan is actually a weak person born with a deficiency syndrome brought out of her mother's womb.It's not particularly serious. After all, she was not born prematurely, nor was she weak. It was just because Mrs. Wang conceived her again shortly after giving birth to Brother Zhu. Just over a year old.One must know that Sister Yuan was born in New Year's Eve. Converted to a specific time, Mrs. Wang conceived Sister Yuan again only half a year after giving birth to Brother Zhu.
The only good thing is that Mrs. Wang took care of Sister Yuan very carefully. Even if Sister Yuan was weaker when she was young, she was no different from other children when she was three or four years old.However, after all, it is a natural deficiency syndrome, but once it falls ill, it will be menacing.In particular, Sister Yuan is still suffering from heart disease.
The latter is easier, don't look at Jia Zheng being thrown into the prison, but it was Prince Lian who did it, and ordered the guards in the palace to take it down and throw him into the dungeon out of anger, there was no routine at all. program.Since there was no routine procedure when going in, it would be much more convenient to come out, provided that Prince Lian let go.
So, a few days after Sister Yuan fell ill, Jia Amnesty went to Prince Lian's mansion again.
"Oh, Your Highness, Prince Lian, please let me let go of my second brother, okay? The Holy Majesty just dismissed his official position and never made a judgment. Even if you are angry with him for beating me that day, it's a big deal after I take him back to the mansion. , beat him up again, won't it be over?" Jia She thought very well, that day Changqing Emperor did not give Jia Zheng any other punishment, except for cutting Jia Zheng's official position, and it was precisely because of this that this incident There is room for change.
Prince Lian glanced at Jia She, and said with great disgust: "I didn't throw him into the prison because he beat you! It's clear that he caused trouble in the palace and didn't pay attention to the royal family."
"Yes yes yes, what you said is true, what you say is right." Jia She didn't care about this, and just kept urging, "Then can you give him an order to let him go? Don't worry, I will definitely clean up when I go back. his."
"you sure?"
"What is there to be sure about? He was dismissed by the Holy Majesty himself, and he will never be hired... If you want me to say, the Holy Majesty is quite free, why do you have to add the last sentence? If there is no such sentence, Jia Zheng Don’t you have something to do? Let him study, let him take the imperial examination, force him to death!”
Jia She doesn't think at all that with Jia Zheng's ability, he can pass the imperial examination to become an official. After all, the late Rongguo Duke Jia Daishan obtained his official position on his behalf. Unless he has the ability to find someone to apply for an official position for him Otherwise, this life will be like that.However, Emperor Changqing destroyed all his hopes, and at the same time let him have nothing to do.
Why? !
Hearing this, Prince Lian thought for a moment before he said, "It would not be difficult if only the last item was exempted from the Holy Majesty. But, are you sure that he won't pass the imperial examination?"
"Don't worry, he will definitely not pass the exam!" Jia She said categorically, "As cowardly as he is, I will take the exam ten more times to ensure that he won't even pass the provincial exam... No, he won't even pass the exam. By the way, can you let me pass the exam? Has the holy order ordered him to start the exam from the boy student exam? He didn't take the exam before, and he directly took the quota of the Imperial College's supervising students, and started the exam from the general exam."
At the thought of being able to ruthlessly trick his own stupid brother, Jia Amnesty almost risked his life.What is a child test?Previously, Jia Zheng studied with Brother Zhu, Brother Lian and others, but now he is asked to study with the newborn Shitou... oh no, it is the second brother, the second brother, and the third brother.
It would be best to let Brother Zhu get married and have children earlier, and let Jia Zheng go to school with his eldest grandson! !
Tsk tsk, when you think about it carefully, this picture is simply intoxicating.
Although this idea sounds very unreliable, but Prince Xu Shilian has long been used to it, or he also wants to cheat Jia Zheng, so he fully agrees, and he will definitely try to persuade Emperor Changqing to take back the "eternal Do not hire" verbal instructions.
Fortunately, it was only a verbal instruction, even if Prince Lian hadn't specifically mentioned it, Emperor Changqing would have completely forgotten about it.Fortunately, even if he remembered it, Emperor Changqing didn't take it seriously.Unlike Prince Lian who was worried that Jia Zheng would be admitted as a corrupt official again, Emperor Changqing had no hope for Jia Zheng at all.
"Jia Zheng is not only stupid, but also self-righteous. He always feels that he is a thousand-mile horse who has never met Bole, but he is just a stupid donkey." Emperor Changqing's evaluation of Jia Zheng couldn't be worse. Basically, with his words, Even if Jia Zheng passed the exam, he would definitely not have a bright future.
——What do you think if the new emperor takes office?Hehehe!
"That's right." Emperor Changqing suddenly remembered something, and asked Prince Lian, "For no reason, why did Jia Amnesty immediately fish out Jia Zheng? But what happened to the Rongguo Mansion?"
Of course, Prince Lian couldn't answer. He had an iceberg-faced face on the surface, but he was talking stupid and cute bastard in secret. Unfortunately, he didn't have the attributes of the Emperor of Truth at all.
So, as soon as he left the palace, Prince Lian hurriedly went to Rongguo Mansion.
There is no way, who made there were a lot of princes in the palace when I was young, and they were all very similar in age.If it's like Zhu Ge'er and Lian Ge'er in Rongguo Mansion, one worked hard and the other copied crazily, then there would be no contradiction.It's a pity that the princes generally love to compete, especially in front of Emperor Changqing.
Don't look at Emperor Changqing who is becoming more and more kind now, but when he was young, he was definitely a strict father. It was nothing more than a love for the school exams, and he always praised and rewarded the first place in front of everyone. , By the way, the last one was sprayed bloody.
Under such circumstances, Prince Lian directly developed a habit. If he couldn't answer the questions of Emperor Changqing, he would feel uncomfortable all over. all questions.
Prince Lian relived the memories of his childhood and youth, and by the way, became passionate again.But in this way, the whole Rongguo Mansion was bluffed.
Seeing Jia's amnesty, Prince Lian immediately said, "Your Majesty has spared Jia Zheng from the punishment of never being hired, and you can pick him up tomorrow. But why did you suddenly think of this? Isn't that right?" What happened to your house?"
In good conscience, Jia She was terrified. He felt that Prince Lian was either ill, or fell in love with him suddenly...
Otherwise, why do you care so much about whether something happened to his family? !Isn't this a pain in the ass what is it? !
"Nothing happened, but my niece fell ill, and the doctor said she was depressed, so I wondered if it was because of my second brother, or because of her minor election to the palace. But these two things In fact, it is just one thing. Although the small election has no high requirements, if my second brother stays in the prison and cannot get out, she is the daughter of a sinner and cannot participate in the small election. Besides, my second brother also I've been in it for too long, and I'm also a little...a little bit unbearable."
Prince Lian looked puzzled, and angrily said: "Are you crazy or stupid? Your niece is a small selection for the palace? It's not right to be a daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and go to the palace to serve tea and water as a court lady?"
Jia Amnesty was sprayed all over the face, but she still didn't have the courage to confront Prince Lian, so she could only smile helplessly and said, "That's my niece, not my daughter."
There is some truth to this statement.
But immediately, Prince Lian sneered again: "Hmph, Jia Zheng is really stupid."
Under normal circumstances, being humiliated to one's own younger brother in person would definitely make one angry. Even if Jia She despised Jia Zheng in every possible way on weekdays, he would not be able to tolerate it.However, if the opponent is replaced by Prince Lian, there is nothing he can't bear.
"Yes, what you said, Your Highness Prince Lian, is so reasonable!" Jia She risked his life to praise Prince Lian, but unfortunately all he got was a disgusted look from Prince Lian.
Now that the matter has been clarified, Prince Lian does not intend to stay here to listen to Jia Amnesty's worthless compliments.But before leaving, Prince Lian still couldn't help asking: "Do I need to order your niece to go to the general election?"
"Don't mind!" Jia She hastily stopped him, "The small election is one day away from the palace, and the general election is over! Besides, my niece is only 12 years old this year, my lord...hehe, I mean, my stupid brother I always wanted his daughter to serve the former Crown Prince."
"Is he stupid?!" Prince Lian made another breakthrough.
"Yes, yes, he is stupid." Jia She nodded madly, "His Royal Highness Lian Wang, please do it, don't follow that idiot's idea, my niece is still sensible and prudent, and my family is not letting her go. It is inevitable for people to squeeze flat and round, and it is inevitable that something will happen.”
If Sister Yuan's family background was included in the general election, she would really have to be pinched and rounded.However, in the small election, nothing will happen to her.There is a saying, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, considering the current situation in Rongguo Mansion, especially with the uncle Jia She, it is still easy to arrange a decent job for her, at worst, wait until she is 25 years old and release the palace to hire another marry.
Again, Sister Yuan is Jia She's niece, not his daughter.As an uncle, Jia She didn't want to do such thankless things.
In the end, Prince Lian left angrily, with a murderous look on his face.
When the news reached Rongqing Hall, Mother Jia fainted again very smoothly.Fortunately, not long after, Jia Amnesty rushed to Rongqing Hall and told her personally that Jia Zheng would be able to take Jia Zheng back to the mansion tomorrow, which made Jia's mother a little more relaxed.
Another day, Jia Zheng came back.
The happiest ones were naturally Jia's mother and the second wife, but unexpectedly, although Jia Zheng looked old and frail, his spirit was unexpectedly good.Mother Jia was distressed and relieved, she only said that if Jia Zheng survived a catastrophe, he must have a future blessing.On the other side of the second room, apart from Mrs. Wang who was slightly suspicious, the people around were only happy.
There is nothing to talk about on the Dafang side, then La Shuxian got the news yesterday, and the other brothers and sisters still did what they should, without being affected at all.
Because Jia Zheng hadn't had a good rest, eating and drinking for too long, he said goodbye to Jia's mother and went back to Pear Fragrance Court to freshen up and recuperate.Of course, Mother Jia would not object, and only let him have a good rest.Afterwards, Mother Jia watched Jia Zheng and others leave, and ordered people to search for high-quality medicinal materials from the box, so that Jia Zheng must be supplemented.
Jia Amnesty saw all these things in his eyes, but even he was surprised that he could no longer feel dissatisfied in his heart.
If you are eccentric, just eccentric, he is living a good life now, so there is no need to make things difficult for these two people.Especially when he thought of the conversation he had with Jia Zheng in the carriage, Jia Amnesty could only feel contempt.
Why do you think Jia Zheng is in good spirits?The reason is very simple. Jia Amnesty told Jia Zheng on the carriage that he had asked Prince Lian to intercede with Emperor Changqing, exempting Jia Zheng from the crime of never being hired. No shortcuts are allowed in the test.
Shouldn't normal people sigh when they hear this news?After all, imperial examinations are no joke.However, after Jia Zheng heard this, he bowed to Jia Amnesty sincerely, only sighed that he still had a chance, and thanked Jia Amnesty for his success.
For a moment, Jia Amnesty remembered Prince Lian's words - "Is he stupid?!"
Whether he is stupid or not is completely unimportant. The important thing is that Jia Zheng regained hope and began to study hard.
This is really not a joke, even if the imperial examination has just been completed, even if the next imperial examination is still three years away, even if Jia Zheng has to start the exam from the Tongsheng Examination... He just entered the mode of studying hard for no reason. I can't persuade you to go back.
I don't care about my wife and children, I don't want my concubines and aunts, I quit all food and wine, I just picked a small courtyard in the back of the Rongguo Mansion that had been vacant for a long time, and after a little tidying up, I lived in it.The euphemistic name is that hanging beams and stabbing stocks will definitely pay off.
To tell the truth, Jia Amnesty wasn't worried about Jia Zheng hanging his ass, what he cared about was that Jia Zheng couldn't think about it for a while, so he hanged himself by hanging himself!
Fortunately, Jia Zheng was forced to move out after only staying in the small courtyard for one night under the threat of Jia's mother crying, making troubles and hanging herself. , and it is strictly forbidden for idlers and others to disturb his study.
Regarding this, Jia She only sneered: "A fool is a fool, even if he reaches a new level of stupidity, isn't he still a fool?"
This is what Jia She dared to say, but he dared to say it but no one dared to answer it.Fortunately, the study in the front yard had been vacant for a long time. Since Jia Zheng liked it, let him stay there. It's no big deal.As for the strict prohibition of idlers from entering, it's nothing to worry about. In Rongguo Mansion, women's family members will not go to the study room. To be precise, they will not leave the second door easily at all.Among the men, Jia Amnesty hated the study so much, how could he take the initiative to throw himself into the trap?As for the boys...
Unfortunately, so far, it seems that all the brothers are more promising than Jia Zheng.
Brother Zhu and Brother Lian went to the Guozijian. If they plan to take the imperial examination in the future, they can skip the provincial examination and directly enter the general examination.Needless to say, twelve, people are rushing to the three yuan and the first.Brother Jing who is going down is not obvious now, but his demeanor is very similar to when he was twelve hours old. The specific performance is that he can eat, drink and sleep, and he is promising.The second elder brother of the second room was born with a jade title, so he will naturally have a great future. The third elder brother is a concubine, and he probably has no achievements, but he dare not say anything. He is small and has an infinite future.
After such a calculation, Jia Zheng was really sad.
……
In the blink of an eye, it was September, and the Tribute Academy released the rankings.
In the past, the Rongguo Mansion would not have paid attention to these things. In fact, except for the time when Jia She and Brother Zhen took part in the imperial examination, the Rongguo Mansion did not care about literati at all.But this time, the historian also participated.
To be honest, no one thinks that the historian can pass the exam.As a result, he already had the title of Marquis, and he knew that he would not work hard to make progress.Secondly, compared to his talent, he should be more famous for his delicate and frail reputation.
It turns out that nothing is impossible.
On the list released by the Gongyuan, the historian ranked 120th and eighth.Although this ranking is really not that good, but at least it is better than Jia She's exam in the past.You know, he fell all the way to the bottom of the list.
I'll try it in February next year, but I'm not in a hurry.Besides, the historian does not have to pass the exam, having such a good reputation is actually enough.Therefore, the uncharacteristically large banquet guests in the Bowling Marquis Mansion aroused countless envy.
Regardless of whether there are other voices in the envious crowd, at least at this moment, the Baolinghou Mansion is extremely happy.Not to mention other things, at least the uncle of the historian passed the provincial examination with his real skills.Of course, Jia Amnesty, as No. 1 in the imperial examination, was once again talked about, which made him very angry.
At the same time, Rongguo Mansion also ushered in a happy event.
First, in mid-September, Aunt Jiang started it first, and after a whole night, she gave birth to a healthy brother.At the end of September, Aunt Lin also activated it. She gave birth very smoothly. She activated it in the morning and gave birth smoothly before noon. She was also a brother.
Finally, Jia Zheng could no longer ignore his sons, and after a lot of thinking, he chose the names for the four sons in one go.
Mrs. Wang's second elder brother was born with jade in his mouth, which is a sign of great auspiciousness, so he is not taboo with other elder brothers' names, and is named Baoyu alone. His full name is Jia Baoyu, also known as Bao Erye.The remaining three concubines were named according to their age, Jia Jin, Jia Ding, and Jia Er.
For a while, the second house of Rongguo Mansion was prosperous.
Immediately, the problem came, Lixiangyuan really couldn't accommodate the second bedroom and a large family.
