Red Mansion points are hard to earn

Chapter 30 Jia Lian Gets Official

"Old ancestor, he has Brother Lin. Sister Lin misses him and has to go back to take care of him. Why don't the ancestors send Sister Feng to spread the word and take them both in? Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

"Second elder brother's words are ridiculous. Sister Lin should live in our house, but her younger brother is the serious owner of the Lin family. Why is she willing to leave home to live here?" Tan Chun hurriedly said when she saw Mrs. Wang winking at her.

"The eldest girl used to be alone and fled to our house when she had no other choice. Now they have a lot of people in the house and they are willing to drag the family with them. If you say that again, you will offend your sister." Tan Chun After talking, Mrs. Wang was not satisfied, so she persuaded Baoyu herself.

"But Sister Bao and Brother Xue also have a lot of people in their families, and aunts, aren't they all in our mansion, old ancestor, there are so many yards in the mansion, wouldn't it be enough to allocate one to Sister Lin and the others? It's convenient to come and go, old man Didn't the ancestors like Sister Lin's talk the most?"

Baoyu leaned into Jia Mu's arms and acted like a baby. Jia Mu stroked her for a while, then said with a smile, "I know you miss your sister, but Miss Lin also has no conscience. She hasn't come to see me, my old lady, for so long. Yuanyang, call Feng girl. "

"The old ancestor is really powerful, but can pinch and count? I just got good news and wanted to make the old ancestor happy. I didn't want the mandarin duck to find it first." Sister Feng smiled like a spring breeze after entering, and her face was full of joy.

"You monkey, you have to make a joke when you have nothing to do. Your brother Bao misses your sister Lin, so I asked you to come and pick it up."

"No wonder Brother Bao is worried. I haven't seen Sister Lin for a long time. Don't worry, the ancestors, I will pick them up right away. The two sisters live close to each other, so I happened to pick them up by the way."

"Just sister Lin is fine. When her sister comes, she has to take sister Lin back." Baoyu said hastily.

"Madam Feng is looking for Mrs. Xie for something?" Mrs. Wang asked, wondering why Sister Feng was so happy.

"It was ordered by our Elder Master. It is said that our Second Master will be an official in the same dynasty as Uncle Xie in the future, so we have to move around in advance."

"What?" Everyone in the room was shocked.

"Isn't this the second master who has been studying in the old man's yard for a few days ago, and this time he got a noun in the official examination. Although he is a little behind, he can't run away from an official."

"Is what Feng girl said true?" Mother Jia asked earnestly.

"It's true. The person who announced the good news has just been sent away. If I have ten courages, I won't dare to lie to my ancestors."

"Since it's a scientific examination, how can Lian'er win?" Jia's mother couldn't help but say it, but it's a pity that Baoyu is still young, and if she ends up too early, she might hurt her body like Zhu'er. Otherwise, go earn a champion and come back. There will be successors.

When Wang Xifeng heard this, her face turned black, and Mrs. Wang tightly squeezed the handkerchief in her hand.

"Where is Lian'er, call me in quickly." Mother Jia still couldn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of candidates for the Ministry of Officials Examination."

"Oh, there are so many children from the Xungui family taking the exam?"

"Those are all old foxes, and they sent some capable children from the mansion to test the direction of the wind. In the Ningrong Second Mansion, there is actually a eldest son, Jia Lian, who took the test."

"But the eldest son of Marquis Jia En? How does Ai Qing read the article?"

"The article is ordinary. The choice of words and sentences is a little lacking. It is better to be practical and flexible. It seems to be quite capable."

"I still underestimate these aristocratic families. In the past, I only thought that Marquis Jia En was indulging in sensuality, but he understands when he doesn't want to."

"Then this is Jia Lian? The Ministry of Officials plans to recruit about 50 people this time, and Jia Lian's ranking is already in the [-]s."

"Ning Rong's second mansion has a deep foundation. Jia Lian is also included in the list, and the ranking does not have to be high. The aristocratic families have always been united, and some even don't pay attention to the court rules. These people on the list, Ai Qing will go one by one. Go to test, if these young people want to become officials, they must be from the same family branch."

"Your Majesty really has far-sighted plans. Once these big families are divided into two, it will be difficult to reunite later. In this way, these powerful families can be divided without much effort."

"More than that, I have promoted a lot of poor families over the years, and it seems that they seem to be united. These noble children are quite capable. First, they will serve me, and second, they can also check and balance. Splitting up these big families is comparable. It's much easier to fight them hard."

"Your Majesty is wise, in this way, the benefits are not limited to this. The honorable and noble families are very rich. If these people are knowledgeable and sensible, and donate a sum of money, the drought in the south of the Yangtze River will not be a worry."

"Don't let the lion speak too loudly to scare them. The drought in the south of the Yangtze River is urgent. Aiqing must act quickly, and it will last for one month."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will spare you."

"Father, what should I do?" Jia Lian walked around in a hurry, pacing up and down the room.

"You stop the meeting, it makes me dizzy." Jia She shouted.

"Father, what Minister Zhao said just now is very clear. What exactly does His Majesty mean?"

"Either become an official, or become a noble. You need a lot of money." Jia She concluded.

"The old lady called the second master Lian over." The girl next to Jiamu came to pass the message.

"I don't need to say anything else, just tell the old lady the amount of money, and the house will be prepared." Jia She urged.

After hearing this, Jia Lian got up with the maid, thinking about how to speak along the way.

"Lian'er, from what your wife said, what kind of exam did you pass?"

"Returning to the old lady, it is a scientific examination by the Ministry of Officials."

"Oh, what official position do you have?"

"It's not yet decided yet. Zhao Shilang just came to the mansion to spread the word that he needs a lot of money to find a real vacancy."

"Where do you want money for a serious examination? Lian'er, have you been cheated?" Mrs. Wang asked hastily.

"It's a formal examination of the Ministry of Officials. It's not just our mansion who took the test. I met a lot of people I know well." Although Jia Zhu relied on his skills back then, he also spent a lot of money on it.

"Zhao Shilang, can you tell me how much money you want? If it's ten or twenty thousand, I'll naturally pay for it for you, and you don't have to use the public house."

"I know the old lady loves me, but..." Jia Lian reported the number with a wry smile.
