The Hulk of the Red Chamber

Scholars want to connect with each other, in fact, it is just four words of eating, drinking and having fun.Therefore, in the past half month, Shi Hong has been living abnormally*. Although he has never been to the brothel, he has found singers and dancers from the Jiaofang Division for several gatherings. The brothel is much stronger. After all, most of the outstanding women in the Jiaofang Division are the family members of officials who have committed crimes. The education they have received since childhood is not comparable to that of people from wild backgrounds. Not necessarily stronger than them.

After entering the Jiaofang Division, many people simply changed their names. This was also to prevent the family from being ashamed. However, Shi Hong looked at these young girls, laughed at Yan Yan, and betrayed his looks and talents. Come, according to their origin, if there is no problem, at their age, they should marry the right family and become the main wife or even the head of the house. However, in this era, women are pure accessories, even in this dynasty. , but there is no way to do it, you will be restricted in all aspects and oppressed by others.The female relatives of the official family enjoy the glory and wealth brought by the man in the family. Naturally, they also need to bear the corresponding consequences, such as marriage, and what's more, when the family undergoes drastic changes, they will be reduced at the same time. This is also the tragedy of this era, otherwise, It is not enough to make people feel fearful. This is actually the rule of law in this era.

On such an occasion, Shi Hong performed fairly well, but it disappointed some people. He originally thought that Shi Hong was like a nerd in the past ten years, patronizing reading, otherwise he would not have such achievements. Fengyue is greedy for flowers and lustful, easy to be addicted, Shi Hong behaved like a veteran of Hua Cong, making fun of him, but never going overboard, some people inevitably raised their evaluation of Shi Hong a bit.

Lin Ruhai is very satisfied with this. As a man, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with having three wives and four concubines. Although he is in harmony with Jia Min, and the husband and wife are deeply affectionate, he also had a roommate before getting married, and he also had an aunt and concubine after marriage. When I was in Yangzhou, the people below even gave away two well-trained Yangzhou skinny horses.If Shi Hong was just a student, Lin Ruhai would even be willing to teach Shi Hong some flower bushing skills. The problem is, Shi Hong is his son-in-law. For his own daughter, Lin Ruhai naturally hopes that Shi Hong will clean himself up, even if Shi Hong can't really be a couple for life. , but at least his daughter must be the most important thing. Therefore, Shi Hong can sit still, and Lin Ruhai naturally has a good heart.

Before Shi Hong officially went to work, Mrs. Qin had already found an official media with a good reputation in the industry, and went to the Lin family to propose marriage.It is inconvenient not to have a decent hostess. Lin Ruhai had to take a day off and stay at home to receive the official media. After all, for other matters, the foster mother can be present. For such matters, the parents still need to be present.But he doesn't regret it. Although he can't be regarded as a sympathetic person, he can't do the thing of ruining another woman's half life for the sake of his daughter. There is no son who can retire and die, and the husband is not long enough. , The stepdaughter is getting older, and she doesn't even have time to cultivate her feelings. No matter how much property she has, will she be a widow for the rest of her life?

Lin Ruhai felt even more depressed when he thought of his family property. If he had no heirs, except for a part of the property that could be used as a dowry for Lin Daiyu, the rest would probably be charged to the national treasury. However, the Lin family couldn't even find a relative within five clothes. Now, Lin Ruhai is not willing to adopt a son who doesn't know whether it is good or bad, and maybe he will have to embarrass his own daughter when the time comes.His own daughter, he himself understands that Lin Daiyu is a sensible person, but the aloofness in his bones cannot be changed. Therefore, it is to choose a well-matched family, who can get along with each other, and knows that the person who loves her is the best choice. If Lin Daiyu With a stronger and more sophisticated personality, Lin Ruhai is planning to recruit a son-in-law to continue the line of the Lin family.

But no matter how much he thought about it, it was useless. Lin Ruhai thought about going back to Shi Ding to discuss, if Lin Daiyu could have more than two sons, whether he could let the second son adopt him to the Lin family, but he still decided on the marriage first.

The official media made two trips, and the two parties had already agreed on their horoscopes long ago. Now they just went through a formality, exchanged Geng posts, and waited to pick a good day to make a decision. Although Lin Ruhai didn't want to find Jia's family, but this kind of thing was decided , there must always be a female elder with a suitable status. Since Lin Ruhai doesn't want to continue, naturally he can't get around the Jia family. Therefore, he decided to ask Shi Taijun to come and host the Xiaoding.

And at this moment, it was time for Shi Hong to take up a post in the Imperial Academy.

Although the Imperial Academy is said to be the Qingshui yamen, to some extent it is the secretariat of the Holy Majesty. It is true to say that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, but it is better to be promoted if you can follow the top boss, otherwise , why does everyone want to take the test of Shujishi!

Shi Hong had just entered the Imperial Academy, so it can be said that his eyes were smeared.Shi Hong's life was really smooth, and now he encountered a setback in his life.

People in the Imperial Academy generally have a high opinion of themselves. For Shi Ding's entry into the cabinet, some people have already felt that they can't see it. After all, the cabinet started from the previous dynasty. , with some exceptions, Shi Ding, a military general, was able to enter the cabinet, which made these literati very worried, whether the Holy Majesty is going to elevate the status of a general!In fact, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, people of Confucian origin were considered both civil and military. Even in the Tang Dynasty, it was fashionable for literati to practice martial arts with swords. The estrangement is getting bigger and bigger, and it has almost become instinct for the literati to be hostile and suppress the warriors.The reason why few of the honored families have passed the imperial examinations is not only because of their vision but also because of their unworthy descendants. It is mainly due to the rejection of the civil servants.The world is peaceful, there is no opportunity for meritorious service, the honorable family always has a title, and relying on the shadow of the ancestors, they can still obtain official positions, but they cannot enter the circle of civil servants, and it is very difficult to get promoted.Jia Zheng is a typical example. He has worked in the Ministry of Industry for many years. If he is a decent civil servant, no matter how incompetent or pedantic, after many years, he has merit without fault. I haven't moved the nest for ten years.

Shi Hong's entry into this circle is actually a last resort, just like Shi Hong found himself reincarnated into a historian, in order to avoid the fate of confiscating his family and exile in the future, he had to study and struggle. Shi Ding and even the late Shihou also realized that Xungui The decline of the class, let alone other people, just a few kings with different surnames. Originally, the four kings with different surnames guarded the Quartet, but now only the king of Nan'an County and the King of Xining County are left with real military power, and the military power is constantly weakening. , the king of Xining County has died, and has refused to return to Beijing, but for some reason, the current King of Xining County, concubines, concubines, concubines and concubines are all complete, but he has no heirs, even a girl The film never came out.No matter who is the emperor, a king with a different surname is a confidant.

For Xungui, even if it has been inherited from generation to generation, Xungui has begun to decline, and the court is still worried. At least whenever there is a border trouble, the court will not use members of the Xungui family unless there is no other way. Generally, I don’t understand. Let me also say that these honorable families have lost their blood and courage, they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they refuse to ask for a fight!As everyone knows, if the Xungui family makes any more contributions, or like the king of Xining County, raises the thief to be self-respecting, the court will be on the verge of riding a tiger, so it is better to use people with no foundation. No one came forward before the battle.

Therefore, after Shi Ding and Shi Nai made contributions and were able to avoid being degraded to the rank of nobles, Shi Ding consciously gave up his military power, so that he was able to win the emperor's heart and enter the cabinet.Even with Shi Ding's advice, Shi Nai's son is really not up to date, so he still has to carry it on his shoulders, with real power in his hands, and he can always find a way for his son in the future, but in Gyeonggi, the real military power is still in the hands of the emperor Here, it is difficult for him to obtain actual power. Even so, Shi Nai has not been promoted for many years, and because of Shi Ding's warning, he dare not do things such as losing money to the air force. It didn't get better, until Mrs. Fang put down her face and begged Mrs. Qin's sister-in-law, and the Zhongjing Hou Mansion shared part of their property with them, and then she was relieved. Shi Nai, in fact, now has the heart to retreat.

It was only after Shi Ding discovered that Shi Hong had some ability in reading that he made up his mind not to let go of military power, to serve the emperor with peace of mind, and to find a way to transfer from a military officer to a civilian job to pave the way for his son.Of course, this requires the guidance of a person with a certain status in the civil service class. The easiest way is to marry.Therefore, Shi Xiangwen married the Zheng family, and Lin Ruhai, who was helped by Shi Ding, reciprocated, accepted Shi Hong as his apprentice, and promised to marry his sons and daughters. Shi Ding was relieved.

Of course, Shi Ding was not the first person to think of this. Jia Daishan was the shrewdest. Unfortunately, he died too early.Jia Daishan dotes on Jia Zheng, not only because Jia Zheng is the youngest son and grew up beside his husband and wife, but also because Jia Zheng likes to study, but unfortunately he has never learned anything famous, and Jia Daishan chose for his daughter. Lin Ruhai, who has no future, is his son-in-law. In the eyes of many people, including Shi Taijun and others, Jia Min is really a low-marriage.You know, when Jia Min got engaged to the Lin family, the Lin family didn't even have the last bit of title. She is also not worthy of the only prostitute of the Duke's Mansion.It's a pity that few people in the Jia family understand Jia Daishan's painstaking efforts. Jia Amnesty lives at home. Although Jia Zheng was able to enter the court because of Jia Daishan's dying request, his EQ is a bit low, and it is useless to use this relationship. , Lin Ruhai was promoted step by step, but Jia Zheng was still standing still.After Jia Min died, Lin Daiyu was treated poorly in the Jia family. Even if the Jia family wanted to borrow the strength of the Lin family at this moment, Lin Ruhai was not happy. He directly chose the historian to cooperate and was willing to hand over his political resources to Shi Hong , as long as Shi Hong is willing to treat Lin Daiyu kindly, this is also a fate by accident. Destiny is really unfathomable. Shi Hong's arrival, even if he didn't do anything special, changed the fate of many people. Hong himself also benefited greatly from this.

However, even with Lin Ruhai as a factor, Shi Hong was studying for exams a few years ago, and what Lin Ruhai can do for him is limited. In the Imperial Academy, there are naturally some people who don't buy Shi Hong, and since ancient times, scholars have looked down on each other. Shi Hong is really young, and many people are inevitably a little bit jealous, so naturally they want to stumbling Shi Hong secretly. Therefore, Shi Hong has been in the Imperial Academy for a few days, but everyone just ignores him and messes with him. Compared with Xiao Jinjie and Sun Wentao, who performed well, it is simply heaven and earth.
