The Housekeeper's Daughter-in-law of the Red House

Shulan didn't understand Jia's mother's intentions, mainly because she was bluffed by the original book. In the original book, Lai Shangrong, the grandson of Lai Nanny, relied on Jia's mansion to donate officials, but a group of Lai's family were still slaves in Jia's mansion, so Shulan I thought that as long as the master's family didn't let go, they wouldn't be able to get out.

Although there is no such thing in history that sons are high officials and parents are slaves (the Qing Dynasty does not count, the whole country is slaves), but the world of the Red Chamber is very strange, and many worlds do not match what Shulan has learned in history. .

First of all, it is the matter of native place. I have mentioned military registration before, and I just said business registration. According to the historical rules of Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, businessmen can take the imperial examination only after they have left their nationality for three generations.

But here, the Xue family of the four major families is a merchant, and the whole family belongs to a merchant. However, Xue Bian, the cousin of Xue Baochai, the eldest son of the Xue family's second room, said when he introduced him that he had the status of a scholar. I passed the Juren examination, but unfortunately I failed. Later, both my parents died early, so I gave up the imperial examination to inherit the family business.

This is one of them, and the other is the issue of taboo.

In the original book, the Lin family did not receive the grace of Jia Mu, so both Lin Shuyu and Lin Hongyu were released.Therefore, when waiting for Lin Hongyu to enter the mansion to work on errands, in order to avoid the names of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, they were changed to 'Lin Xiaohong' and called Xiaohong.

It stands to reason that the Jia family should be aware of this taboo issue, then the master of the second room, Jia Zheng, is named "Zheng". According to the rules of taboo, Jia Zheng's sons and grandsons cannot discuss politics for three generations. I can't be an official, and I can't even read books when I grow up.

Reading, especially calendar reading, can also be regarded as a kind of political discussion.

However, Jia Zhu not only read the book, but according to the original book, he also relied on Juren. As for whether he passed the examination, there is no exact statement.The Jia family may be confused, but those in the officialdom are not. Even Li Shouzhong, Jia Zhu's father-in-law, they didn't care about this, which shows that the court should have allowed it.

There is also the issue of inheriting the nobility, Jia Daishan is Rong Guogong, even if the nobility is hereditary, this Jia Amnesty should also be the Marquis!Gonghou Bozi is male, and then there are first-class generals, captains of Qingche, captains of Yunqi and other titles!As a result, from Jia She, he was directly a first-class general.And it's not just Jia She's family, it's also in Ningguo Mansion. Jia Daihua in the original book is the title of first-class general.

It's so weird, it's hard to understand.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Shulan is cautious now, it is really a weird world, and nothing can be described with common sense.

Just like the Jia family spread the precious words of Jia Yuanchun's precious life in the new year to everyone in the capital, so don't rush to become an imperial concubine!Hehe, it's unspeakably expensive. Besides the royal family, who else would dare to have such a woman? She doesn't want her head.

When Shulan heard the news, she was speechless. She wanted to remind Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, but before she could say anything, she was startled by what Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang said.Regarding Jia Yuanchun's entry into the palace, there are countless versions. Some say it was done by Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, while others say it was done by Jia's mother.

But Shulan saw that maybe the three of them should have done it together, and they were going to die together.

Well, after Jia Baoyu is born in the future, there will be more things to die.

Mother Jia couldn't help being envious when she talked about the Miss Zhen's family in the palace. According to sources, she was already Concubine Zhen De, and her family background was also the lowest among the four concubines, but However, her stomach is competitive and favored, she gave birth to the second prince, and now she is pregnant again after ten years, and now she is very beautiful in the palace.

In the future, even if the second prince cannot become the emperor, a prince will not be able to run away. In this way, the future of the next generation of the Zhen family will no longer be worrying.Not to mention, the emperor's previous two trips to the south of the Yangtze River were all lived in the Zhen family, which is truly an honor.

When Jia Daishan was an official in the south of the Yangtze River, the Rongguo Mansion also took over once. This can be said to be the capital of Jia's mansion for several years.Just waiting for Jia Daishan's death, this Jia's mansion will become worse day by day, and now it is only for others to show off, Jia's mother sees it in her eyes and is jealous in her heart.

Speaking of why Mother Jia didn't use a stick to suppress the big house before, she also wanted to let Jia She rely on the Zhang family to restore the glory of Jia's mansion, but Jia She is much better than before, and she can be regarded as the number one among the emperor. , although hundreds of people went.But in the eyes of Jia Mu, Jia Amnesty is still a seventh-rank little sesame official, useless, and the mud can't support the wall.

It's not that Mother Jia never thought about letting Jia's family follow the path of Zhen's family, but there was no suitable candidate at that time. Now Mrs. Wang rushed to push Jia Yuanchun out, expressing her willingness to let her daughter go to the harem for a fight, and Jia Zheng had no objection.Since both Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were willing, Mother Jia had nothing to object to, but it was her granddaughter who made her feel a little bit reluctant, so she remained silent.

But I don't want Jia's mother's silence to be tacit agreement in the eyes of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.

From that day on, Jia Yuanchun's study career changed. He had to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he also had to add the skill of serving people, and those things like palace fighting.

It's not that Shulan didn't want to stop all of this, but after all, she was just a servant, and she couldn't stop the master's decision.She also said this to Mrs. Zhang in a cryptic manner, but she didn't want Mrs. Zhang to just sneer and let her ignore the matter and follow the second room.

In the entire Jia mansion, the eldest family didn't care, Jia's mother was silent, and the second room was active. Jia Yuanchun's tragic fate was already doomed, and it couldn't be changed by a time traveler.

Shulan sighed. She was too naive before, thinking that as long as the first and second households were separated, Mrs. Zhang would be able to save the Jia family if she didn't die. After all, Mrs. Zhang was born in a scholarly family and her knowledge is a hundred times better than Mrs. Wang.But she didn't expect that even if the first and second households were separated, the two households would still dislike each other. Mrs. Zhang hoped that the second household would immediately dig a hole and bury them.

In fact, I can't guess why the big and second bedrooms are like this, and it's not because of the unwillingness of those words.Most of Jia’s contacts are in the army, but when the country was founded, being a general meant being able to earn military functions and titles, and now a large part of your contacts in the army have turned into contacts in the entire capital’s upper class. Shout nicely.

This kind of connection can be used even if Jia Lian and Jia Zhu take the imperial examination. How can Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang not fight for their son.Mrs. Zhang is the legitimate wife of the Rongguo Mansion, how could she be willing to give this connection to Jia Zhu.And Mrs. Wang claimed that she was the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion. Why couldn't her son use the contacts of the Rongguo Mansion? An open and secret struggle was inevitable.

Originally, this had nothing to do with Shulan, but unfortunately, her son wanted to take martial arts.Looking at the entire four major families, is there anyone more powerful than Wang Ziteng?

No!

In this way, Shulan is going to please Mrs. Wang, but once she goes to please Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhang will definitely wear small shoes for her.

It gave Shulan a headache.

What makes Shulan even more troublesome is that Jia Mu has always been ambiguous towards her, sometimes helping her to speak for her benefits, and sometimes scolding her mercilessly.Even if it's just beating, it's not like that!

The most bizarre thing is that, all these years, Mother Jia has not asked her to do a single thing, which is completely unreasonable!Shulan was frightened by herself. She agreed that Jia's mother was a nail, so why did she act like an ordinary servant.

"Grandma, you are back."

A middle-aged woman's voice interrupted Shulan's thoughts, she looked up, and sure enough, she walked back to Lin's house without knowing it.Anyway, there was nothing else going on in Jia's mansion, so Shulan walked in directly.

"Shu Yu?" asked Shulan while walking.

"The young master is playing with the young lady."

Shulan stopped in her footsteps, turned her head and asked, "Where is it?"

"Yifang Pavilion!"

Shulan nodded secretly, although Lin Shuyu and Lin Hongyu are brothers and sisters, after all men and women have guards against each other, even brothers and sisters should avoid some taboos, at least the sister's boudoir cannot be entered casually.Yifang Pavilion is a part of the Lin family's small garden. It's not big, but it's enough for playing.

"When the uncle comes back, someone will tell me that I have something to say to the uncle."

"Yes!"

Not long after Shulan returned to the house, Lin Zhixiao came back. After the two had dinner, Shulan talked about Mrs. Wang asking Lin Shuyu to go to Wang's house with her the day after tomorrow.

Lin Zhixiao was silent after hearing this, and asked after a while, "What do you mean?"

"I think this opportunity is good. It's not that I want to curry favor with the Wang family. It's just that people in the Wang family say that generals, if Shuyu can wait for one or two people, there will be a good relationship in the future." Shulan said.

Lin Zhixiao picked up the tea bowl, fiddled with the tea lid, then put it down again, instead of drinking, he asked, "The old lady also agrees?"

"Agreed." Shulan paused for a while and then added: "The old lady didn't look unhappy, and she said that Shuyu would be successful in the future."

Lin Zhixiao became excited after hearing this, "Did the old lady really say that?"

Shulan didn't understand, so she nodded stupidly, "No, the old lady also said that the county magistrate is not as good as she is now, and said that in the future, there may not be a time when they beg us."

"So, tell Shuyu later, let him go to Wang's house the day after tomorrow to show off his real skills." Lin Zhixiao said happily.

Shulan was a little puzzled, and frowned, "Why did you suddenly agree again?"

Lin Zhixiao glanced at Shulan, "What do you know, how can this Wang family compare with the old lady's natal family's historian? Shihou is now in the emperor's heart. Although his eldest son is sick, the other two sons are very powerful." One is the commander of the Jingwei from the third rank, Tongzhi, who is in command of the guards, who is the guard of the palace, guards the palace, guards the city gates, and guards the capital. It cannot be done without the emperor's cronies. The other is the deputy commander of the Wucheng soldiers, Responsible for law and order, fire ban, and clearing the streets of Jiqu.

From what I can see, the old lady is going to let the old man of the Wang family try Shuyu. If she has real skills, she will recommend Shuyu to historians. Now the next generation of historians has not heard of any outstanding people. Maybe... "

Maybe there is no need to say that, if Shulan can't understand, then she is a fool.

Thinking about it carefully, the historians are not a double-handed school and have not yet reached their peak. It seems that it is not bad to mix with the historians.
