old lady in red

Jia Xuan's appearance fell into the ranks of the people, and even her husband couldn't keep it.

For example, Yanhou's mother.

If you enter the palace for a draft, you will be able to spoil your concubine every minute.

The alliance between the Rong Mansion and the Du family is bound to break down.

What's more terrifying than this is the struggle for succession.

Since ancient times, it has been extremely dangerous to seize the heir, and if you fail, you will die and your family will collapse.

Jia Xuan's appearance is really not the blessing of Rongfu.

Shi Mei thought, if Jia Xuan found out the clues in advance, she could learn from Wang Xifeng.

It's a pity that Jia Xuan is already full of poems and books.

The best way is to try to avoid the election, avoid entering the palace, find a high-ranking official to be a husband, and stay away from the capital to avoid disaster.

Jia Zhu's family was exhausted, so Shi Mei told Hu Yanran and her daughter to go home first.

Jia Zhu stayed behind.

He bowed to Shi Mei and said, "Grandma sees something wrong with Xuan'er?"

Shi Mei nodded: "A normal family can't stand such an appearance."

Jia Zhu said: "To be honest with my grandmother, it is because my mother kept saying this, and she instilled some 'expensive' words in Xuan'er, that my grandson wanted to separate Xuan'er from her.

Xuan'er's future upbringing will have to trouble her grandmother again. "

Shi Mei nodded: "You are right.

When your grandfather was dying, he hated court battles and told him repeatedly that you can't trade a girl's body for a future. "

Jia Zhu said: "Grandmother told the children to start practicing at the age of five, and Brother Rui has already started to meditate.

Because of Xuan'er's appearance, her grandson hasn't taught her how to practice, because she is afraid that she will take advantage of her and will not be able to deal with it in the future. "

Shi Mei thought for a moment, then said: "Whether you are exempted from the election or entered the palace, you must teach the knowledge that should be taught.

We don't teach our offspring to harm others, but we have to teach her the art of self-defense.

Of course, to be on the safe side, it's best for this girl to try to avoid the election.

If you can't get rid of it, you can only let God's will.

Let me arrange for her to be exempted from the draft.

On your mother's side, she must keep her mouth shut.

Before the draft, don't make any noise.

Only in this way can we arrange things calmly. "

Jia Zhu said: "Grandma, don't worry, nothing will happen to Henan.

When Xuan'er went out to study, Yan Ran kept drawing thick eyebrows on her, and she was dressed as a Confucian scholar, so no one would remember her. "

Shi Mei nodded: "That's good."

Shi Mei did this to protect Jia Xuan, lest her reputation become more difficult to operate.

Girls live in the back house, but it is impossible to hide in the house without being born.

The most basic entertainment should still be attended.

Shi Mei then researched a set of makeup for Jia Xuan Tete.

As the saying goes, one white covers three ugliness.

Jia Xuan's eyebrows and eyes could not be changed, Shi Mei made a fuss about this skin.

Once you go out, use wheat-colored powder on Jia Xuan's complexion, and put it on your hands.

Then cut her bangs to cover her smooth and beautiful forehead.

She has a very good complexion, but only seven points are left.

Even though Jia Xuan went out with such an appearance, she was still full of praise.

However, although the eldest girl of Uncle Zhongxiao's mansion is both talented and beautiful, the news spread because of her dull skin.

This is something.

On New Year's Eve of this year, Jia Amnesty had withdrawn from the palace garrison group.

One emperor and one courtier.

Emperor Xining now trusts Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian the most.

Yan Hou Jia She took a step back.

In the Marquis of Yan, Shuiyang couldn't handle his own father well.

In Jia Amnesty, he was old.

Today's three leading guards are the sons of Prince Zhongjing and Prince Shun.

Qinggui is Jia Lian.

All the generals on duty in the palace were replaced by young generals.

Bai Jintang, Jia Rong, and Lin Qingyu were all on the rotation list for the Spring Festival.

The only outlier is Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng was still taken by the emperor to wait on him, and the meals and tea were all arranged by Jia Zheng.

On New Year's Eve of this year, Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty presided over the ancestor worship ceremony in person.

The Lantern Festival in the second year of Xining.

Lin Fu, Lin Ruhai, and Jia Min and his wife entrusted Jia Jing, the Yang family, and Jia Amnesty, the Zhang family, to propose marriage to the historians and ask for his second son, Lin Ziyu, to marry Shi Xiangyun, the daughter of the former Baoling marquis Shi Jia, as his wife.

Shi Nai agreed to the marriage.

Both Ziyu and Xiangyun are 20 years old, and the marriage process is progressing quickly.

The Lin family invited Qintian Supervisor Ze to make a small appointment ceremony on the second day of February.

The two sides quickly exchanged more notes.

The Lin family and Shi Nai made an agreement on the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, and the wedding will be in October.

All that's left is to prepare the dowry.

When Shi Xiangyun's mother was alive, she had already prepared the dowry for Shi Xiangyun.

The biggest gap is the wooden furniture.

If the woman is not engaged, the wooden furniture cannot be prepared.

However, Xiangyun's mother prepared a batch of wood for her.

These things are well sealed up in Dafang's room.

The only shortcoming is that the brocade and silk Mrs. Shi Tai prepared are a bit out of date.

The Lin family is now in Kyoto, considered a top noble family,

Shi Nai didn't dare to be careless, so he recruited his son and daughter-in-law to lecture him, and ordered them to give Xiangyun a dowry.

If there is not enough wood in the big house, it will be topped with wood from Shi Feng's daughter.

He paid for the dowry of his granddaughter.

In mid-February, Shi Feng's wife, Bainian, personally took people to measure the house in the attached house, and began to make dowry for my sister-in-law.

Shi Mei was very pleased to hear that the historian had sent someone to the Lin family to measure the house.

Apart from the marriage between Xiangyun and Ziyu, there are two other major events in the Rong Mansion.

The first thing is Baoyu's marriage.

Jia Zheng and Du Zongyuan have married.

In Yuanchun, Du Jing and his wife acted as matchmakers and promised Du Wan'er to Baoyu as his wife.

The second thing is that Baoyu is going to participate in Enke in the second year of Xining.

This is also Baoyu's heart.

It is said that over the past year or so, I have been working hard to study.

Xiangyun's small decision was settled, and Baoyu also left the examination room.

The test papers for the three sessions were silently written, Lin Ruhai read them and said they were very good.

February 21.

Will try to list.

On Rongning Street, the gongs and drums of the good news of being in place came to mind.

Baoyu passed the No. 20 four tribute students.

Speaking of this year's Enke, the Juren are a little bit taking advantage of it.

No new Juren was produced, and the original Juren had already selected [-] Jinshi two years ago.

Baoyu's group of Juren is the selection of generals among the dwarfs.

In any case, Baoyu finally won.

Anyone who wins the Gongsheng will not be dismissed from the palace examination.

Baoyu is a safe Jinshi and the first degree.

Emperor Xining probably also knew the special nature of this batch of Juren.

This time, the selection of Mingjing Scholars has been increased, and the selection of Jinshi subjects has been reduced.

This time, 120 Jinshi of Zhongming Jing were selected.

There are only 36 imperial examination scholars.

Baoyu, the 24th, belongs to the lower middle, and whether he can become a good scholar is still uncertain.

Jia Zheng has already made plans for Baoyu.

It would be best if Baoyu won the favor of a good scholar.

Staying in Kyoto to get married and working in the Imperial Academy for three years is also convenient for him to study and grow.

If he can't become a good scholar, he will find a position as a teacher of the Imperial College for him.

Although Baoyu is not the child Jia Zheng expected.

However, Jia Zheng was still very happy that he won the Jinshi.

On the third day of March, Baoyu participated in the palace examination.

Among the 36 imperial examination scholars, twelve Shujishi were selected.

Baoyu lost the election without any surprise.

It's a pity that Shujishi is the root of Zaifu.

Fortunately, Baoyu himself doesn't care.

Xinke Jinshi has a one-month holiday.

Baoyu and Du Wan'er made a small engagement.

After that, Baoyu went to Henan to visit relatives, and escorted Du Wan'er back to Huguang to visit relatives by the way.

Released from office in April, Baoyu entered the Imperial College and became a teacher.

Specially responsible for teaching students poetry and songs.

In the same month, Qingyu entered the Procuratorate as a censor.

On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, Xiangyun and Ziyu Dading.

The Lin family raised the dowry on the [-]th, and the betrothal was [-] silver.

In the same month, Ziyu passed the examination and became a royal guard.

Both Baoyu and Jia Zhang laughed at Lin Ziyu, saying that the reason why he took part in the bodyguard examination was because the flying fish suit looked majestic.

In June of this year, Jia Cong and Ye Yun returned to Beijing on the Longevity Day of the Supreme Emperor.

Jia Cong was promoted to the magistrate of Jingzhou prefecture after six years as the magistrate of Changning County.

Jia Wei is seven years old, and she is a little stranger to her parents.

Sister Han under Jia Cong's knee is also four years old.

It looks pink, white and delicate, and it doesn't recognize the ancestor of Shang Shimei at all.

Jia Han is very clever and eccentric, he rushed to crawl into Shimei's arms the first time they met.

While climbing, she discussed with Shi Mei: "Ancestor, your house is so beautiful, even more beautiful than our house and uncle's house."

She speaks like a child, which makes Shi Mei very happy.

She didn't give up: "Ancestor, you are more beautiful than people from where we are?"

Shi Mei teased her: "Oh, how beautiful is the old ancestor?"

The little girl stretched out her tender hands and pointed out one by one: "The ancestor has beautiful eyes, eyebrows, mouth and nose, face, hair, everything..."

Mrs. Zhang came here at this time, and she liked it very much. She stepped forward to tease her: "Little girl, do you think I am beautiful?"

Jia Han stared at his grandmother with a pair of black pupils, but he didn't recognize her.

Mrs. Zhang wanted to tease her granddaughter, but Jia Cong and Ye Yun were not allowed to intervene.

Jia Cong and his wife came to visit their grandmother first, and then went to Rongxi Hall to visit their parents.

Jia Han looked at his parents and saw that they didn't remind them.

She looked at her grandmother, and although she didn't recognize her, she felt that her grandmother was also very beautiful.

Then, the little girl rummaged through her limited memory, and remembered what her mother said: the aunt in the house is the most beautiful.

Therefore, Jia Han clapped his hands and giggled: "Han'er knows, you are my eldest aunt. My mother said that my eldest aunt is the smartest and most beautiful."

Hearing this remark, the house full of children and family members roared with laughter.

The kid wasn't really wrong.

Although Zhang is nearly 50 years old.

However, because of her cultivation, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her hair was full of black hair.

There are also very few wrinkles on the face.

No wonder the little girl admitted her mistake.

When Jia Han saw everyone laughing, she laughed too, without any hesitation.

Shui Lingmei Xin'er saw that Jia Han was so cute, she loved her very much, and she came up to tease her: "Who are we?"

The little girl saw that there were two beautiful little aunts again, her eyes were filled with stars, and she couldn't hide her surprise: "My God, why are the people here so beautiful?"

This remark caused a burst of laughter again.

Jia Han made persistent efforts.

She looked at Shi Mei with black eyes, "Old Ancestor, can I live here?"
