Sister Xue of the Red Chamber

Give it a go

Jia's mother was born in one of the "Eight Dukes" historians. Although her father had been reduced to Marquis when he took over the title, she was considered a Jinling Shixun.After marrying Jia Daishan, Duke of Rongguo, she became a serious imperial lady as soon as she got through the door, and she has been an old lord for so many years, so her vision is extremely high.

Jia Min and Lin Ruhai's marriage back then, in her opinion, was Jia Min's "marriage"!If it hadn't been for Jia Daishan's efforts to make it happen, and also said that the ancestors of the Lin family were also nobles, she would not have been willing to marry her only daughter to Lin Ruhai!In addition, although Lin Ruhai lost his father in his early years, his father was at least a noble of a third-rank first-class captain of light vehicles. Lin Ruhai attacked a fourth-rank captain of cavalry. Jia Min.

Now Lin Heyu has won the third prize, and Jiamu is only mediocre.Occasionally, one or two relatives came to visit relatives, and when they talked about the glory of the Lin family's father and son, they just said casually: "People like us don't need to rely on the imperial examination to get promoted. Even if we are lucky enough to win the first prize, it is just icing on the cake. Look at us Baoyu is very good, although he is young, he knows some truths."

After all, Lin Ruhai is still there, and Lin Heyu is still waiting.Even if he is attacked, he is nothing more than a fifth-rank Yunqiwei.Further down is the sixth-rank Enqiwei who cannot be surrendered, the last rank among the civilians, and will no longer be demoted in the future, and there will be no hereditary replacements.

There are also rules for the first appointment of Jinshi in new subjects. The number one scholar is awarded the compilation of the sixth-rank Hanlin Academy, and the second place and Tanhua are both awarded the editor and editor of the Seventh-rank Imperial Academy.But being a seventh-rank, she still can't get into the eyes of Mrs. Jia Tai!

However, as soon as the decree of appointing an official was issued, Jia's mother could no longer sit still.

Lin Heyu is a good editor at the seventh-rank Hanlin Academy, but there is another sentence in the back, specially given to the military plane to walk!

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, how many people have survived for decades but have not been able to enter the military aircraft department!Walking in this military plane is the honor of a person who is valued and trusted by the emperor!

On that day, Qianlong and the Hall of Mental Cultivation decided on the top ten scrolls, because they were all in the style of pavilions and pavilions. Although they were different, there was no handwriting similar to that written by the previous Wang Yuming.

For a while, he didn't say whether the ranking changed or remained the same, but asked the minister who read the paper to remove the seal first.But I don't see Lin Heyu's volume.

"Where is Lin Heyu's volume?"

For a while, a minister who reviewed the papers ordered someone to seal up the rest of the papers, and then replied, "Because most of the articles are lies, they are among the top three."

Qianlong wondered: "There are lies in the policy papers of the palace examination? Take it and let me have a look."

The ministers had no choice but to find someone to fetch it.Qianlong personally read it, and found nothing inappropriate, let alone the word "nonsense".

"Talk to me, what's wrong with this policy?"

The minister who read the papers pleaded guilty, so he stepped forward and pointed them out one by one.Qianlong saw that it was full of familiar words and sentences.

"Useful things are miraculous skills rather than obscene skills", "It is necessary to prevent the harm, learn from the master", "use the barbarians to attack the barbarians, use the barbarians to pay the barbarians, and learn from the barbarians' skills to control the barbarians" "He who is good at teaching the four barbarians , able to control the Siyi"

Qianlong said with a smile, "I have some ideas. I haven't tried it, so how can I just say 'nonsense'? You are worrying too much."

A minister argued, "It's not that I'm worrying too much, but this man has a 'cannon' and a 'howitzer' to his left, and he doesn't know what they are! If there is such a thing as the 'East India Company', then England is just a small barbarian country, not enough. In addition, England has envoys to court all year round, but this person has repeatedly said that strict precautions must be taken, intending to alienate, and his heart can be punished!"

Qianlong sneered, "It's better for you to read more books! I have paid attention to the matter of Fanbang, but you have never noticed it! Yingjili's plan is not small. If you don't take more precautions, I am afraid that one day people will be at home. Sit down, disaster is coming from the sky!"

All the ministers who read the paper repeatedly pleaded guilty.

"Forget it, go back and think about the foreign affairs. In a few days, come up with a charter to discuss." Qianlong thought about it. After all, Lin Heyu is still young. If he is directly named the number one scholar, it will inevitably attract criticism. "This Lin Heyu... let's call it Tanhua. His father was originally from Tanhua, and both father and son are Tanhua, which is also a good story! And if he is given a military plane to travel, it is rare to be able to think about it at such a young age. Let's serve the country earlier, lest I be surrounded by people who are not prepared for danger!"

Bustling past the Chuanlu in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, wearing hairpin flowers and parading horses through the streets, and going to the Qionglin Banquet, I have to enter the thank you table again.

When Lin Heyu was free, it was already the fifteenth of April.

Jia Mu hurriedly sent mandarin ducks to Lixiangyuan, saying that April 26 was Baoyu's tenth birthday, and Heyu was so happy to be a flower hunter, that it was a good time for the whole family to have a good time together!

He Yu secretly complained about the "family" and only said, "It's just a pity, because April 26th is the Flower Festival, Zhongxiao Hou's residence has already posted a post, saying that it is to take advantage of the festival to have a banquet. A few days ago, I agreed to the other end, and I can't go back on my word. It's a disappointment to my grandmother's good intentions."

When Jia Mu heard about it, she thought for a while and changed her date.It's just that Baoyu is still young, so it's also necessary to move forward one day to celebrate his birthday.

After coming and going, Mrs. Wang hated the Lin family even more.

Originally, Baoyu's tenth birthday banquet was planned to be held together with He Tanhua's banquet, but Mrs. Wang was not happy.Turning around, he complained to Jin Chuan, "The boy from the Lin family is only a good candidate, and he is not afraid of ruining his luck if he has toss too much! Isn't his father also a good candidate? Isn't he released! How can he compare to a Beijing official! Right now, he is only a military officer. Walking, and there is no rank, it is still a seventh-rank official. I don’t know what the old lady is messing around with!"

When she found out that Baoyu's birthday banquet was going to be moved forward by one day, Mrs. Wang was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Unexpectedly, on this day, Jia Mu called Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng.

"Of the second family, among the grandchildren, I love Baoyu the most. I think Daiyu is very good, and I want to take advantage of this time to tell Baoyu about her. After all, you are also Baoyu's mother, so I will tell you first."

Mrs. Wang is not happy.

She originally wanted Baoyu to marry Baochai. Firstly, although Baochai came from a bad family background, she owned several valuable shops; Do yourself a favor.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang was really anxious and angry when she heard Jia Mu's words.Anxious to stop this matter, but also frightened and angry at Baoyu's marriage, he can't take charge of it!

It was so quick and wise that it made her think of a way to delay.

"The old lady is in a hurry to get a granddaughter-in-law! Daiyu also likes her daughter-in-law, but it's just that this important marriage should have the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Right now, the uncle of the Lin family is still here, but the old lady is with He The two brothers and sisters Yu and Daiyu mentioned their marriage, and it is not pleasant to talk about it. It is better to go to Yangzhou, what kind of family background we are, and Baoyu's character, Mr. Lin is not picky. When the time comes to discuss marriage, how about Wouldn't it be more appropriate?"

In addition, Wang Xifeng also helped to say a few words, and Jia Mu thought it was the same, so she stopped mentioning it.I went to Yangzhou to write a letter.

Wang Xifeng chimed in, but not for Baochai.

She naturally looked down on Baochai.Besides, she can see that Mrs. Wang has supported her to take care of the family affairs all these years. It doesn't deserve to be called "Feng Lazi" anymore!

Mrs. Wang wanted to ask Baochai to be her daughter-in-law, but she just thought that Baochai was also her own niece.Besides, the nephew's daughter-in-law is not as close as her own daughter-in-law. I'm afraid I will have to hand over the power of housekeeping to him!

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng couldn't help laughing.

This Rongguo Mansion is the one who inherited the title, but Jia Lian will be the head of the Rongguo Mansion in the future!What's wrong with Jia Baoyu!If it wasn't for the old lady's partiality, why would Jia Zheng live in Rongxitang with his reputation not right?

Daiyu's character and appearance are outstanding in everything, and it is too wronged to ration Baoyu!Besides, Daiyu has always been favored by the eldest princess, so helping her at this time can be regarded as a good sale to the eldest princess.It's just that the eldest princess has to be counted on this matter...

Thinking all the way, he went back to his yard.When Jia Lian came back, he told him about it.

Jia Lian repeatedly said yes, and wrote a letter the next day, and handed it to the eldest princess' mansion in person under the name of Xiang Xifeng.

On April 26, when the Hou Mansion sent people to pick up the brothers and sisters of the Lin family, they invited the people who had been invited to celebrate Daiyu's birthday that day again.I just said that today, by chance, the eldest princess returned to the Hou's mansion for a short stay, and when she heard that there was a banquet, she wanted to invite everyone to get together again.

The Jia family has no reason not to agree.Although Jia Baoyu was sad about the day of his birthday, all the sisters couldn't be with him, and no one cared about him for a while.

During the dinner, Baoxuan found an excuse and came to the garden with Wang Xifeng.

"This time I would like to thank Wang Yiren for reporting the letter! I only found a reason to invite Yiren here because I only saw that the letter was a bit brief. Tell me what is going on."

Wang Xifeng then talked about the events of that day, and also talked about Mrs. Wang's intentions, but did not mention her own selfishness.

Baoxuan also understands that since Wang Xifeng intends to sell well, it's okay to help her out.Therefore, he said, "Speaking of which, Jia Zheng's residence in Rongguo Mansion is not justified. After the old Rongguo Duke left, the eldest son took over the title, and the remaining sons should divide the mansion into another house. Jia Baoyu is just a The second son of a minor official of the fifth rank, and a white body, how can he be worthy of Daiyu? Lin Ruhai is not a fool, he will definitely not agree. Don't worry, I will watch this matter!"

Wang Xifeng said, "The servant also likes Daiyu, and hopes that Daiyu will marry better. It's just that I have to ask the eldest princess to take care of Daiyu's marriage. Daiyu's marriage is uncertain, and the old lady will always think about it."

"Daiyu's marriage..." Baoxuan hesitated for a while, and suddenly thought of the sentence "This is the best way, our family is too expensive. Although I don't care about things, my mind is always free, so I will do the calculation for you." If you are not frugal now, you will not be able to take over." It is said that Sister Lin is noble, but she is really a housewife...

Thinking of this, Baoxuan had an idea in his mind, but Daiyu is only nine years old now, so it was too early to bring up this matter, so he just said: "Don't worry, I already have an idea. It's just that it's still early, just wait for Daiyu Bigger jade. You should pay more attention to this matter, and you will definitely not be treated badly in the future!"

Wang Xifeng was overjoyed, fortunately she had thought about it a long time ago, taking advantage of Daiyu's face, she could be considered to have a relationship with the eldest princess, and now she can be regarded as reassured.And wait!
