Jia Minqi's family in the Red Chamber

When she came to Hangzhou, Daiyu was not alone. She met many new sisters.

There will only be more official ladies in Hangzhou than in Yangzhou, and their parents are of higher grade. After all, the governor's office of Zhejiang is in Hangzhou.

Although the little sisters who were acquainted with each other are not far apart, after all, it is not as convenient as before. It is always inconvenient to write things like voicing bitterness in letters.

Hearing her daughter muttering, Jia Min felt very helpless: her own handkerchiefs were handed over to different places, and she was lucky enough to get through letters a few times a year, meeting and talking like she was when she was a child...it's really unnecessary.

After chatting with her mother for some gossip, Daiyu finally talked about her recent concern, "Mother, the second elder sister of the Jiang family is a little... always inviting me to meet and talk recently."

The current governor of Zhejiang is surnamed Jiang.The second elder sister of the Jiang family that Daiyu was talking about was Governor Jiang's second daughter.

Jia Min asked, "Are you invited alone, or are you invited to many little sisters?"

Daiyu was slightly depressed, "Why did you only invite me?" There was no excuse for refusing.

Often when the wives of the official family are entertaining, the wives sit together and talk, while the daughters are let to hang out in the yard in twos and threes.

Jia Min wanted Daiyu to make more friends, especially to let her have her own ideas and know how to deal with each other, so she never took the initiative to ask which sisters her daughter was close to.

Since the incident of Zhen Baoyu blocking the door came out, the couple specially arranged for two girls with some skills to accompany Daiyu. Don't worry that something will happen to Daiyu under the eyes of the couple in Hangzhou.

Jia Min became more and more curious, "Could it be that you and the second girl from the Jiang family...don't get along?"

"That's right... I'm worried. Mother," Daiyu took her mother's arm, "When you talk with Second Sister Jiang, you can always meet her second brother. Her second brother is not the only one talking to me..."

She was also afraid that her thoughts would go astray, but whenever a man showed love to her, she always wanted to ask her mother first.

"Just say a few more words to you every time?"

It's impossible to meet men privately, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, when a group of little sisters are playing and laughing, if they meet one of the sister's brothers, is it possible to turn around and walk away?

It is also necessary to salute and say hello to each other.

Jia Min felt that since the Jiang family wanted to get married, they should not do anything really unpleasant.

Sure enough, Daiyu murmured, "How could it be? After saluting, they each walked away... It's just that they met her second brother more often."

To act like this is to be unreasonable.

The governor's second son was fifteen years old, but he was the head of the case at a young age—just four years older than Daiyu.

The daughter is always in contact with the second girl Jiang, how can the governor's wife know nothing about it, Jia Min thought, this lady probably also has Daiyu in her heart, but she feels that she should get more familiar with it, and it would be more appropriate to propose marriage.

The master has been promoted, and his daughter is really "a family with a daughter."

Jia Min suddenly felt mixed feelings.

Speaking of which, the rest of the wives may not be tempted by their own Daiyu, but the age and rank of the master are all there, and the family background and talents are not worthy... Let's not talk about it - to be able to meet with my family often, at least the fifth rank In fact, such people always have self-knowledge.

Jia Min tentatively asked, "Are you tired of him?"

"That's not true. It's just..." Daiyu was a little embarrassed, "They always look at me when they see me. I feel a little uncomfortable."

Jia Min laughed as she hugged her daughter.

In her previous life, the second sister-in-law didn't like to take her daughter out. In fact, she knew best in her heart that even though Daiyu was the eldest daughter of a bereaved mother and was in poor health, there were plenty of men who would be willing to marry after seeing her, even outstanding men.

After all, she is the second sister-in-law, and she is Zhu Geer's own mother. She is not good at screaming and shouting, but in this life, you will never dare to put on the majesty of an elder in front of my Daiyu, and you will always look at me The look in my daughter's eyes, I will take half of this revenge.

Judging from Jia Min's point of view, although Zhu Ge'er is smart and eager to learn, it is very likely that he will stop at the third grade - because the master has said beforehand, the aura is really enviable, and I can't think of it. Zhu Ge'er is good at everything but owes it A spirit.

Jia Min could hear her husband's subtext: Even if Brother Zhu is fully prepared, he is at the limit of the second-ranking middle class in the palace examination.

It should be noted that there are two hurdles for being an official, one is the fifth rank and the other is the third rank, and most of them fall above these two major hurdles.If you have a strong network at the fifth rank, it is not difficult to step over; but it is said that you can surpass the third rank and become a second rank official... This is already a big official in the frontier, and you can't just talk about harmony between people, but also look at the weather.

It is said that the worst imperial officials in this dynasty ranked among the top two in the palace examination. As for the first-rank officials, most of them can enter the cabinet, and ninety-nine out of ten are from Hanlin.

As for the exception of the exceptional promotion, Jia Min held the water mirror in the underworld and listened to his father's narration of the court affairs in his previous life. It happened that he really knew one, but that was a military officer...

That is to say, as a civil servant, the ranking in the imperial examination is determined for life, which is the truth of truth.

Brother Zhu is enough to support the family business, but if the second sister-in-law wants her son to honor his ancestors, he can also earn himself an imperial order no less than that of his mother, Mrs. Duchess... that is a daydream.

Jia Min wanted to pick a young talent for her daughter from an aristocratic family. Of course, her daughter also had to look up to her—it wasn't that she had any prejudice against poor families, but that she was a well-established monarch today, and her authority had already been handed over to many people. The aristocratic families are almost divided up, so naturally it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son.

The next one is a rare master of Zhongxing, but when that one can show his talents, I'm afraid that her little grandson will have to take the entrance examination for children.

Otherwise, she would be even more at ease finding a poor family with outstanding talents and noble character for her daughter.

Daiyu noticed that her mother was in a daze and didn't speak for a long time, so she shook her mother's arm lightly, "Mom, what's on your mind?"

Jia Min regained consciousness instantly when he heard the words, "Who am I worrying about?"

Daiyu was immediately discouraged, "Then mother said what should I do..."

Jia Min asked back: "My dear daughter, what are you worried about?"

It's really a word to wake up the dreamer!

Isn't it just to look at yourself more?Those young men are probably also secretly looking at their sisters.Most of them are the brothers of my new sisters, and their father is his father's colleague, and they know each other's background... Anyway, how can she prevent others from "knowing Mu Shaoai"?

After all, those who don't understand the rules like the two Baoyu are a minority!Thinking of this, Daiyu persuaded herself to come back.She smiled and whispered, "Daughter has lost her mind."

Jia Min didn't know that her daughter was almost impatient with the man's attention and overtures because of the abruptness of the two Baoyus.

Seeing her daughter's face turned bright, and the master would not come back for a while, Jia Min decided to say a few more words to her daughter.

The Sun family of the crown prince's mother is located in Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, and it is the real No.1 family.

Every decent family in Jiangnan always has a daughter married into the Sun family, or a daughter-in-law from the Sun family.And the Sun family happened to be a general... But the Sun family married and didn't look for a high family status, so it wasn't too eye-catching.

Shengshang Shengming saw this in his eyes, so none of the officials in Liangjiang, the officials above the fifth rank, had any friendship with the Sun family.

For example, Lin Hai, because of the "information" has some contacts with the Sun family, this is the most "close" to the Sun family among all the officials!

Since there is no friendship, most of the time it is naturally handled impartially.

After coming and going, the Sun family felt uncomfortable again: it doesn't feel good to be constrained in everything and have to be careful.The Sun family must think of a way.

After hearing this, Daiyu pondered for a while and suddenly said in surprise, "Could it be... me?" She pointed to the tip of her nose, and her expression changed as she spoke.

Jia Min laughed loudly, "Your father has never had any friendship with the crown prince. Selling the favor of the Sun family back then was also an expedient measure."

Daiyu hugged her mother's arm again, feeling a little shy, "Daughter thinks too much."

Jia Min explained in detail: "If the Holy Majesty wants your father to concentrate on assisting the crown prince, why doesn't your father know?"

No matter how much the Holy Majesty loves the prince, he will not arrange several important ministers to be "father-in-law" after the prince has a mother clan who holds military power.Of course, Jia Min would not say these words to her daughter.

Daiyu thought for a while and asked again, "Then... the Sun family is targeting my sisters?"

"The Sun family has never married a high-ranking official. Why did they suddenly change their original intention now? They asked the in-laws to help. The in-laws are not rich enough to be the main room, can't they be the concubine?" Don't beg to speak at home Counting, blowing some pillow wind from time to time, isn't it enough to make a difference?

Anyway, the master directly refused the girl who was sent to his own house, and Jia Min didn't even see her face.

Hearing her mother's words, Daiyu was really amazed, "Then, can the wives of each family respond?"

Jia Min nodded and said, "Of course I can't. Not only are they not happy, but their master and son are also not happy."

In official circles, it is common to send a few concubines to please Shangfeng.But as long as these concubines are accepted, it may affect the future of the future - the Holy One sent you to Liangjiang to be officials, and you are absolutely not allowed to be in cahoots with the Sun family... Thinking about it this way, these gentlemen... have no heart and no courage .

Daiyu said again: "Reject...they don't look good on each other."

When she was in Yangzhou, she also met a lot when she went out with her mother... Yaoyao Qiaoqiao's aunt, she still has a deep impression on her.

"That's right. Why don't we discuss it together, and we can refuse together." Jia Min smiled, "So these days there are a lot of entertainment. The master is easy to say, after all, when you are old, you have to hold on for the sake of your future. But The sons are young and vigorous...it's better to look at each other and talk about marriage directly."

Daiyu finally understood why Second Sister Jiang suddenly brought up her Second Brother and tried to get everyone to meet up from time to time.

At the same time, she also guessed in her heart: Could it be possible that she really fell in love with me...

After some explanation from her mother, she didn't feel impatient with Jiang Erge and Erjie's thoughts. She just felt... so pitiful.

Looking at her daughter's expression, Jia Min guessed her daughter's thoughts, and she said, "It is said that everyone wants to reject it together. But you also know that in this officialdom, the people behind everyone are different, and there are even festivals between each other. The threat may not be less than that of the Sun family, so what to do. But it doesn't matter, parents will never wrong you."

It seems that the Jiang family really wants to win over their own family.

Daiyu would no longer say, "It's so annoying", "Oh, how hard it is for everyone to think about it one by one?" So she leaned over again, "Mother is so kind. Mother is the best." Thank you again when you see your father It's not too late, let's focus on making my mother happy now.

Little sycophant!After all, it didn't hurt her in vain!

Jia Min stroked her daughter's hair and said with a smile: "Mother told you these things, and you will deal with them yourself when you get older. In fact, your father and the two adults in Fantai and Taiwan are not compatible. The relationship between the two is not very good. But with Mr. Jiang, it is quite harmonious."

Daiyu could understand: father's official career is prosperous, how can there be no one to support him?Behind other grown-ups... it is naturally the same reason.

"Father, Daotai is the deputy of Lord Fantai, right?" Did Fantai embarrass his father a lot.

Jia Min laughed again, "It's nothing serious."

The Holy Majesty appoints officials, how can the principal and deputy come from the same faction?Otherwise, it will become a monopoly or a dominant family.

Seeing her daughter's pensive look, Jia Min instructed, "You girls are not involved in the open and secret fighting of these adults. You can make friends with whoever you want. In fact, you can see that there are many factions in Beijing. Everyone’s thoughts and purposes are different, but in detail last time, everyone is related.” The girls form friendships, and in the future they find that they have chosen the wrong person, which can be regarded as a way out.

Daiyu smiled sweetly, "Mom, I know."

It so happened that Lin Hai came back at this moment, and when he entered the door, he saw his wife and daughter hugging each other, and the smiles on their faces could not be deceived.He asked curiously, "What good thing is so happy?"

Daiyu thought about it carefully, and she came to complain to her mother because she was bored... So she said honestly, "In fact, nothing good happened at first." After speaking, she ran to the warm pavilion in despair, to toss her younger brother who hadn't woken up from a nap.

The younger brother is also very talented: she talked so lively with her mother, and the younger brother can still sleep peacefully until now...

Lin Hai changed his official uniform, washed his hands and face, and put on homely clothes again. After listening to his wife's succinct recitation while having tea, he said, "Daiyu should listen to this." With a soft sigh, he added, "Her good sister The family has been promoted, but it's too tricky."

Jia Min's eyes fell on the letterhead that her husband took out, and after a quick scan, she felt mixed feelings: Han Qi was "transferred" from Taixing county magistrate to Hangzhou magistrate for his meritorious service in disaster relief.

Three lives are unfortunate, and the magistrate is attached to Guo; the three lives are evil, and they are attached to the provincial capital of Guo;

This time Han Qi is "Three Lives Doing Evil".He once gave up for his family, but now he has nothing to say, but he was born in such a lively Hangzhou...

Jia Min thought: Miaoyu can't be saved in vain!So she looked at her husband and pointed to the sky, "What does this mean?"

Lin Haidao: "It's not that he came to trick me anyway, I was worried that he would be tricked again. I didn't save him in vain before!"

Well, the couple have a tacit understanding again.
