Sister Xue of the Red Chamber

Bring Lan Peihuan to the second room again, uncle and nephew enter official career, each go his own way

Jia's mother closed her eyes, kicked her legs and let go. Jia's family went through a lot of trouble for her.

First, the mandarin ducks guarded Jia Mu for the first seven days, then touched the coffin and committed suicide in front of the spirit.

The mandarin duck is the most loyal, and she only regards Jia Mu as the sky, but whatever Jia Mu thinks about, it must be right in her eyes.Mother Jia paid more attention to Baoyu, so she would naturally take extra care of it.

Although she and Baoyu grew up with each other since they were young, they didn't have the slightest affection between men and women.

Things have been busy in Jia's mansion these years, and Jia's mother didn't have the heart to worry about Yuanyang's marriage.Another thing is that Baoyu had Xiren before he got married, and Xiangyun had Ningmei soon after he started, that is, Zhenzhu, and it was really hard for Jiamu to let him go.

If not, she said that she would give the mandarin duck to Baoyu, even Jia Zheng couldn't stop her.Although Yuanyang didn't have that kind of thought, since it was Jia's mother's order, she would happily thank her.

If Baoyu was still there, Yuanyang might have stayed to take care of Baoyu for Jiamu.

It's just that now Baoyu has rushed in front of Jia Mu. She is a maid, and she has no ability to win the title for the second room... Since she can't fulfill Jia Mu's last wish, Yuanyang has nothing to worry about.

After thinking about it, she didn't want to leave Jia's mansion.But if she wanted to find someone to marry at will in the mansion, she would look down on the grace given by the elder master or the elder wife.

It's better to just go with the old lady!

After his own death, if he goes underground, he can continue to serve the old lady, and he can still gain a reputation as a loyal servant.From now on, parents and elder brothers can make everyone in the mansion look up to them, and they will have no worries in the Jia mansion in the future.Anyway, it can be regarded as repaying the grace of birth.

Jia She simply ordered someone to build another cave next to Jia Mu's grave, and let the mandarin ducks be buried beside her, which can be regarded as full of her loyalty.

After Zhen's family affairs are over, Jia Lian can be regarded as the credit of his going to Yangzhou.

When I heard that Jia's mother had died of illness, I wrote a booklet and begged to go back to Beijing for the funeral.

After reading the memorial in front of him, Qianlong raised his head and said to Lin Heyu, "This Jia Lian has made some progress, and knows that he will come back for the funeral."

Lin Heyu bowed and said: "It is said that the water in the south of the Yangtze River is deep, and it is the best place to experience people."

"Brother Huang, take a short rest and try some snacks, so as to cover for me."

When Baoxuan came to the palace to pay his respects in March, he asked the imperial doctor to conceive the baby, and the queen mother simply left him in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, pressing down on the three-month-old fetus.

Now that it's July, the fetal image is already very secure, and a few days ago the Empress also had good news, and the Empress Dowager had other worries, so Baoxuan was barely able to get out of the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.

It was so hard to come out this time, and it was still in the name of giving Qianlong snacks.

"Come here, just sit here for a while, I don't dare to let you go out and wander around!" Qianlong reached out for a snack, and Fang said, "I remember that Jia Lian was recommended by you, indeed. good."

Bao Xuan chuckled softly, "Brother Huang, don't think too highly of him. I see that this is not his idea."

"Whose idea was that?"

"Wang Xifeng!" Baoxuan said, "Now her father is serving as the governor of the two rivers in Jinling, and her husband is serving as the salt transport envoy in Suzhou. How can she not think about it?"

Qianlong thought for a while, then said: "In this case, let Jia Lianping be transferred back first to serve as the Minister of the Grand Servant. Now that he has gone to Zhen's house, it is time for him to change. When it is cleaned up, he will have his own place."

Then he said: "I'm thinking about opening a Keenke, Baoxuan, think about it for me, what's the reason?"

"This year is supposed to be the tenth year of the emperor's brother's accession to the throne, so it is right to be generous. It's just that this year is the year of the examination, and it will be moved to next year as usual." Bao Xuan laughed.

Qianlong thought for a while, and said, "That's good. Although it's a little late to prepare for this year's rural examination, but next year will be able to take the examination, and it's just in time for employing people."

Lin Heyu said: "A few days ago, I went to Rong Mansion to express my condolences. I met my cousin, Jia Lan, the eldest grandson of the second room. It's a pity to say that he passed the provincial examination last year, but he will take the examination because his family is in a hurry. , I told the old lady Jia to hold her back, and I missed it!"

Baoxuan shook his head and said, "Daiyu also told me about this matter, so the old lady Jia misses her Baoyu all the time! How can she ask a great-grandson to come forward first!"

Qianlong buttoned several cases with his right hand, raised his eyes and asked, "This Jialan, how many people passed the provincial examination?"

"120."

"Tell him to have a test next year. When you are in mourning, you wear sackcloth and filial piety; when you live in mourning, you destroy your bones. If you lose your body but your heart is not lost, it is unfilial. If you have lost your heart, why should you be obsessed with the loss of your body? If you neglect business, you will disturb the ancestors." As Qianlong said, he couldn't help drafting a decree.

The general idea is: what the elders want is nothing more than that the children in the family can make progress and do their best for the country; if they miss the imperial examination and official duties for the sake of keeping filial piety, it will make the ancestors feel uneasy, which is an act of unfilial piety.Now that the Qing Dynasty is employing people, the officials and students are specially ordered not to stick to the mourning outside the body, but to keep the mourning in mind, and must not delay the business.The officials of Ding You will recover within three months; those who keep their filial piety will be tested together next year.

The government order, not to mention the reaction of the government and the public, the Imperial Academy, the cabinet, and the Ministry of Rites are all overwhelmed.

When Li Wan heard about this, he recited Buddha's name happily.

That day, Jia's mother insisted that Jia Lan not go to the test, Li Wan hated her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.

Jia Lan did not go to the examination, so the name of the juren should be cut off as usual.Left and right had to wait for the next provincial examination, and after Jia's mother passed away, Li Wan had no choice but to put aside his thoughts and take Jia Lan to observe his filial piety in a peaceful manner.

Who would have thought that today's golden words would tell her Brother Lang to have a test in the next year!

Fortunately, she still urged Jia Lan to study her homework in private, and she didn't fall behind too much.The end of the coming year, there is still a place for contention.

On the other hand, after Tanchun received the news, he immediately found Mrs. Xing and said that he would go to Beipaer Hutong.

Mrs. Xing knew that it was for Jia Huan's business, so she ordered someone to hire a carriage, and personally ordered two old women to go with her.

Although Jia Huan said he was enlightened, he had worked hard for a few years, but it was a pity that his talent was limited. If he wanted to pass the imperial examination, he would definitely fail.It's just that he's getting older now, and he doesn't have a serious job anymore, how will he be able to establish a family in the future?

Now, although Aunt Zhao has been restored and Jia Huan can be regarded as the son of a son, what is the son of a commoner in Beijing?There are so many nobles in Beijing, anyone can step him into the mud!

Although there is an uncle who is the head of the Rong Mansion and a first-class auxiliary general, and a cousin who is transferred from the third rank to the salt transport envoy, but after all, the family has been separated, and now he does not live in the same mansion. limited.

Although Jia Lan passed the provincial examination, he was a generation short and couldn't afford it.

Back then, the second room of the Rongguo Mansion, where the flowers were blooming, and the friends of Liehuo, had a generation of jade characters, but Jia Huan was the only one left!

As Tanchun wished, it would be best if he could donate an official to Jia Huan and follow Jia Lian's path.

It's a pity that Jia Zheng was not happy.

Jia Zheng was demoted back then, but there was a saying "Never use it again"!

From a fifth-rank member Wailang who was demoted to a commoner, Jia Zheng also tasted a plummet.In recent years, he also had the idea of ​​donating an official, but unfortunately the will is there, who would dare to give him an official title against the Holy Majesty's will?Even fame can't be donated.

Jia Zheng put more emphasis on imperial examinations. Jia Zhu in the early years, Jia Baoyu in the past few years, and Jia Lan today, all of them have high hopes for him.He also placed his hopes on Jia Huan, but Jia Huan was not the material.

If he was still Yuanwailang himself, it would not be a big deal to donate an official to Jia Huan.

But now donating an official is something he can't ask for, Jia Zheng really doesn't have the heart to take care of Jia Huan.Another one, if you can't get it yourself, but ask your son to get it, isn't it just creating trouble for yourself?

Therefore, Jia Zheng not only refused to donate an official to Jia Huan, but also forcibly pressed Aunt Zhao not to entrust someone, saying only that he wanted to test Jia Huan, and he must not be called Jia Lian, who would only rely on his father and grandfather.

Tanchun thought about it, so he had to find another way. On the one hand, he begged Jia Amnesty to put Jia Huan in prison quietly, and on the other hand, he asked Jia Huan to prepare for the examination of the writing style.

Those who take the pen post style in the supervisory examination are designated as the eighth grade.It would be a good way for Jia Huan to become an official.

Originally, I was concerned about the period of filial piety, and I was afraid it would have to be delayed for a few years.Now that there is a will, Tanchun can't hold back, so he hastily came to report to Jia Huan in person.

In August, Tongzhou Ferry.

Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing had been waiting by the pier early in the morning.

Jia Amnesty found a tea shed and sat down, drinking tea while staring at the ferry.

Mrs. Xing was sitting in the carriage with Jia Ben in her arms, and couldn't help opening the curtain to look out.

Seeing that an official ship was about to dock, Jia Amnesty hurriedly sent someone to see it.

Before the official ship stopped, he jumped off a steward, and was immediately surrounded by people who came to inquire.

The steward dismissed most of the people in a calm and unhurried manner, leaving only two, please wait beside the boat.After a while, two young servants jumped down from the official boat and ran to report the news without touching the ground.

Jia Amnesty saw a young servant running towards him, saw that it was Jia Lian's side, dropped a piece of silver and left.

The owner of the tea shed was also used to it, and rushed over to see off the guests, congratulating him nonstop.

The carriage came to the side of the boat, Madam Xing got out of the carriage with Jia Ben in her arms, and stood with Jia Amnesty, waiting for the boat to dock.

I saw another carriage coming to the side, with a golden roof and vermilion wheels, a yellow cover and a red curtain, and it stopped not far away.

"Slow down! Be careful!" He only heard Jia Lian's voice, and he walked out of the cabin, followed by Qiuju supporting Wang Xifeng and Qiuzi hugging Jia Quan.

"What's the matter? Why is Wang Shuren feeling unwell?" Baoxuan raised the curtain of the car and poked his head out.

Just as Wang Xifeng was about to answer, his face turned pale, he shook off Qiu Ju's hand, and rushed to the side of the boat. "vomit!"

The author has something to say: Qianlong put Jia Lian and Wang Ziteng in the south of the Yangtze River to contain the Zhen family. After the Zhen family fell, if their son-in-law was still there, it would easily arouse the emperor's suspicion after a long time.

It happened that Jia's mother passed away, which gave Jia Lian an excuse to return to Beijing.

Qianlong saw that Jia Lian was very sensible, so he simply transferred Renping back to Beijing to reassure them.

(When I wrote this, I felt that this paragraph was a bit vain...I'm afraid it's too obscure, please explain)

And, Qianlong's mourning is still coming...

I'm back!

And, this is really not the end.The end of the text is the next chapter.
