The Rich and the Idlers of the Red Chamber

Jia Jing, like Jia Zheng, is the second son, and they both chose the path of literature. However, the fate of the two is completely opposite. One is from the novel. From now on, your elder brother Jia Fu will become the prince, so you should be a clean boy Civil servants will do.In the end, Jia Jing was well prepared, devoted himself to studying hard, and made great progress all the way. In his 20s, he won the Juren Award. As a result, Jia Fu died not long after he got married, leaving behind only a posthumous son, who was also sickly. , Jia Daihua was dumbfounded, he couldn't pass the son who was also the son of the original spouse, and pass the title to the grandson who didn't know if he would grow up.

So here comes the problem. Jia Jing never thought of becoming a prince since he was a child. Suddenly, the position of the prince fell to him. He was almost at a loss. He had no interest in the power of the Ningguo Mansion in the army. Before Jia Daihua didn't give him the opportunity to meet his subordinates' confidants, Jia Jing finally didn't care about it at all, and continued to study for the imperial examination, but at thirty, he was already a two-ranked Jinshi, and directly entered the Imperial Academy as a scholar.This kind of ability, even those who are known as heirs of poetry and etiquette, may not be comparable, which shows Jia Jing's talent.

However, Jia Zheng was given the hope of becoming a noble since he was a child, and he was the second son. If Jia She hadn't changed someone temporarily, this guy would have to be the master of the Rongguo Mansion for the rest of his life.

This cousin Jia Jing didn't have a good relationship with Jia She before. Although Jia Jing is not a nerd, he has been studying and writing, and his character is considered decent. Talking behind his back all day long, saying that Jia She is ignorant, greedy and lustful, Jia Jing naturally believed it, and was quite alienated from Jia She as his cousin.

After the previous incidents broke out, Jia Jing was also very uncomfortable. Jia Zheng, who had a good relationship with him, was clearly a ruthless hypocrite. As for Jia Amnesty, Jia Jing didn't know what he was thinking, nor did he So I went straight to ask Jia Amnesty what was going on, but I admired Jia Amnesty, he could afford it and let it go.

Jia Jing is very depressed now. He was admitted to Jinshi before, but because he was still in charge of the position of Ningguo Mansion's eldest son, he was very excluded in the Imperial Academy. In short, it was cold violence everywhere. The officials and superiors of the Hanlin Academy above were kind to others and wanted to support and support them, but they were unsmiling to Jia Jing, acting like business, and there were some gossips in private.

Even though Jia Jing was not praised since he was a child, after all, he has an elder brother who is not very strong. Everyone must spend more energy on his elder brother than on Jia Jing, but he has not suffered such grievances.At the beginning, he thought that it would be better after a long time, but gradually, it got worse.He went back and told Jia Daihua that Jia Daihua could only stare blankly and scold a few rude scholars. After all, the Jia family was just a rich man in the countryside at first. The life of planing food, Jia Yan Jia Yuan was an official at the beginning, even the memorial had to be written by his staff, and he copied it again by himself, which has nothing to do with the civil servant class. Jia Jing, once the three years have passed, the concubines will be transferred from the Imperial Academy and stop dealing with those bastards. It is impossible for the officials of the Sixth Department to be as virtuous as those in the Imperial Academy.

As a result, only two years have passed after three years, and Jia Jing has almost collapsed by those people. It is no wonder that he can do good deeds in this mental state. In fact, it was not entirely his fault, but others pushed the matter onto him, the top officials of the Hanlin Academy reprimanded him, and many colleagues pointed and pointed, there was much ridicule The words of contempt made Jia Jing feel ashamed and resentful, and he had no place to vent his anger after returning, so he came to Jia She for some reason.

Looking at Jia Jing's dejected face, Jia Amnesty was helpless. To be honest, Jia Jing was really good among nobles, but even though this dynasty didn't emphasize civil affairs over military, civil officials looked down on military generals. It started in the Song Dynasty, and now, although it is not going to get worse, it is already deeply rooted. Although Jia Jing has made it to the rank of civil servants through his own efforts, to those civil servants, Jia Jing is simply rushing into the swans It's no wonder that a duck is not rejected!The most important thing is that although Jia Jing is just a low-ranking concubine, he bears the title of the son of the Ningguo Mansion. According to this rank, he is the highest academician in the Hanlin Academy. To be honest, he has to face Only Jia Jing could do it by saluting, how could those people be reconciled to it, they naturally pushed him out with aspirations.

Jia Jing held the wine glass with a dejected expression and drank the wine in one gulp. He looked up at Jia She, sighed, and said, "Enhou, I can't advance or retreat now. I knew it was like this. Back then Why should I go to the imperial examination, why don't I just take the title of Juren and be my heir with peace of mind! But, I'm really not reconciled!"

Jia Amnesty has never been good at comforting people, so he had to help Jia Jing pour a glass of wine first, pondered for a while, and then said: "Cousin Jing, why should you care about those people's thoughts? It is not easy for the Jia family to reach this point, but respecting you, cousin, there is no famous teacher to teach you, and the Jia family has no experience in imperial examinations before. In this respect, except that they are not short of money, they are similar to poor scholars. You are on the same line, but cousin Jing, you went all the way to the palace examination, which makes them feel embarrassed! Besides, those people, even the first three, are very likely to be wiped out by everyone in the future. There are only a few middle-ranking ministers, and it is their turn to get them in the Year of the Monkey, but cousin, you are also just a good man, but you will at least be able to inherit a first-rank title in the future. , Therefore, it is normal to be jealous of your cousin!"

Jia Jing felt a little better when he heard it: "That's right, they just hate me. The ancestors of our family were the founding heroes, and the Jia family also served the saints for generations. Their ancestors did nothing, but now they come to hate people like us. It's simply unreasonable! Enhou, I finally understand, I can't bear it all the time, let them think I'm easy to bully, I have to let them know how powerful I am! Come, Enhou, let's drink!"

Jia Jing was obviously a little drunk, but the alcohol content is not too high these days, it's nothing to drink two more glasses, and Jia Amnesty didn't persuade him much, and he still drank with Jia Jing. Shaking, he pinched the wine glass, and the wine kept spilling out, and he didn't realize it, and said in his mouth: "Enhou, what I admire most about you is that you can afford it and put it down, just like me, Knowing that they are jealous of me because I was born in Ningguo Mansion, I don’t need the imperial examination, and I have the title of succession, but I can’t let it go, hehe!” As he said, Jia Jing fell headfirst on the table, and soon remembered the sound of snoring.
