The Marginal People of Jia's Family in the Red Chamber

When Jia Qiong woke up, she thought she had traveled through time again, but wondered why she hadn't seen the hateful white robe, covered her head and propped up her upper body, looked at the surrounding decorations, and wondered in her heart: Who in the Jia family can use such a grade? Could it be that it is Jia Yan Jia Yuan?

When Jia Qiong was thinking about it, several servant girls pushed the door softly and filed in. Seeing that he woke up, the leading servant girl said pleasantly, "Young master is awake, let the maidservant wash up for you." Then she signaled another servant girl to go Report to the master.

Jia Qiong, who was still in a daze from a hangover, didn't bother to say anything, just thought that if he came, he would be at peace, and let the servant girl take care of the grooming, and when he was wiping his hands, he saw a man in brocade with sword eyebrows and starry eyes leaving Come in.

The man said: "Are you awake?"

"Thank you brother for taking me in, otherwise, Jia Qiong would really be sleeping on the street."

"Jia Juren, you are being polite. My surname is Tu and I am the sixth child." The man in brocade clothes said with a smile.

Jia Qiong stood up and saluted and said: "Jia Qiong pays respects to His Royal Highness King Kang. I got drunk yesterday and lost my temper. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."

"I don't know each other, what is the crime, please get up, please get up." Kang Wang politely helped Jia Qiong.

Jia Qiong was secretly annoyed in her heart, drank too much yesterday, and thought that Bazhen Building was her own property, so she got carried away in her own territory, and ended up causing such trouble and came back.He doesn't have the protagonist's own ability of "drunk amnesia", and now he still clearly remembers that after he was drunk, he was taught not to eat outside food by the cute ones, and asked him to take him home when he was close to teasing.sky!Jia Qiong just wanted to slap herself twice. She was already suffering from a hangover and headache, but now it hurts even more.

"Jia Qiong got carried away after drinking and offended His Highness." Jia Qiong apologized repeatedly, this trouble is really terrible.

"Jia Juren, please don't be too polite. I saw that you are fighting with scholars in Bazhen Tower and singing songs about wine. You are not such a pedantic person. Don't be out of touch." King Kang is considerate and gentle, which really makes people feel happy. favor.

Kang Wang stayed with Jia Qiong for breakfast, and then asked Wang Fuchang Shi to arrange carriages and horses to take him home.

In the car, Jia Qiong recalled what he had collected about the current prince. There was no prince in the court. Among the princes, one, two, three, five, six, eight, ten, and twelve were recognized by the court. Those who have the opportunity to be in the top position, and those who are left after the twelve princes are still too young. At this age, I am afraid that they will not wait until the youngest son grows up.

However, these have nothing to do with Jia Qiong who is determined not to enter the officialdom. Jia Qiong is only worried about whether his industrial empire will be exposed in front of the sixth prince Kang Wang. The peeping eyes from behind, a feeling that he has already boarded Kang Wang's ship?

It can only be said that Jia Qiong is really thinking too much, Kang Wang is just a whim, as long as Jia Qiong does not come out and continue to show his presence, it is guaranteed that after three months, Kang Wang will not remember that Jia Qiong is that green onion.

Jia Qiong didn't take a bath last night, and Kang Wangfu didn't have clothes of Jia Qiong's stature, so Jia Qiong still wore his own clothes, but they were washed after changing, and always felt that there were bugs crawling on his body, and finally made it through doorstep.Jia Qiong maintained his etiquette, thanked the palace for the carriage, and rushed into the house, God, he wants to take a bath!

As a result, when I entered the door, I ran into an elated Lu Tong. Lu Tong had been waiting in the living room of the outer courtyard early. Hearing that he was coming, he took the initiative to greet him and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why did you come back? Did you come back yesterday?" Where did you go late?"

Jia Qiong was worrying about how to answer, but Lu Tong's topic had already changed, so he probably just asked casually, and said incessantly: "Qion San'er, you don't know how big our battle was yesterday, and now everyone in the capital is guaranteed to fight." Everyone knows that I am excellent at both Lutong and Qin, and I am unparalleled in wisdom. Let me tell you, Master Zhao Zhen was also there yesterday. He is one of the most famous and learned Confucians in the world. The master who gave me lectures in the mansion is also his redisciple. Let me tell you, the storytelling scripts on the street have been changed now, and it has been changed to the battle between the double walls of the capital and the ignorant disciples. And..."

"Also, don't you think I have a sour smell?" Jia Qiong, who was dragged and nagged all the way, asked quietly.

Lu Tong took his hand, leaned over, smelled it, frowned and said, "It's a little bit."

"So, I want to take a bath and change clothes. Go back and sit down and drink tea. Let me wash up first, you bastard!" Jia Qiong roared, shook off Lu Tong's hand and went to the inner courtyard "Really, just go Go, I can still stop you." Lu Tong waved from behind and said leisurely. "But I can make a draft first. Oh, it was a big hit yesterday. Maybe grandma heard about it and asked me to ask questions. Your Majesty also said that she would summon me. Oh, the draft is not good, so I'd better write it down and memorize it." That's right. Luliu, Luliu, quickly, bring me a pen and ink for the young master."

After Lu Tong finished talking to himself, he began to torment the servants in the mansion again.He has a very good relationship with Jia Qiong, which is why Jia Qiong spoke so unceremoniously to him, and directly left the guest to wash up.

After Jia Qiong packed up his description, he went to say hello to Mrs. Jin, even though he sent someone to say that he would not come back last night.I went to see the three sisters again and promised to take them to Xishan to appreciate plum blossoms in winter.After finishing his work, he came out, but saw Lu Tong sitting in the living room drinking tea in a rare and serious manner, and took a closer look, and there was someone sitting next to him, it was Liang Yu.

Seeing Jia Qiong coming out, Liang Yu got up and said: "Brother Jia Xian is well, I was in high spirits yesterday, I see you drank a lot of wine, I am worried, come and have a look."

"Brother Liang, it's okay. Lu Tong also came to see me. I'm fine. I have a small garden in my house, and the lotus leaves are still in bloom. Why don't you invite two virtuous brothers to move to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Let's drink tea and discuss poetry." Jia Qiong said.

Naturally, Liang Yu had no objection, and Lu Tong whispered behind him: "Brother Huanxian, tsk tsk, Qiong Saner, why are you so sour?"

Jia Qiong glared at him fiercely, how could he show a good face to this guy who spared no effort to destroy his image.

Lu Tong touched his nose, and walked away with the posture of his noble son.

Today, at the Huxin Pavilion, Jia Qiong, Lu Tong, and Liang Yu had a great time. Liang Yu was born in a poor family, but he was neither humble nor overbearing.Speaking of which, they had some misunderstandings before, and the closer they got to know each other, the more they felt that they were congenial.In the few months before Chunwei, Liang Yu spent a lot more time going to Jia Qiong's house, even taking Lu Tong here often.

When Jin heard about joining hands to recite the Buddha, she ordered her maid to bring them delicious food. Jin was always worried that her son had no friends of the same age. Before, there was only one Lu Tong, but now there is another Liang Yu who looks stable. Kim was very happy.

Since the literary meeting in Bazhen Tower, Jia Qiong's reputation has risen to a higher level. For the time being, no one will challenge him, and Jia Qiong is also happy to have a clean New Year.

During the Chinese New Year, Jia Qiong would naturally spend it at home, and at thirty he would go to Ningguo Mansion to worship the ancestors, even though Jia Jing would not be present on such a big day as the ancestor worship.After worshiping the ancestors, I rushed back home to have a reunion dinner. On the morning of the first day of the new year, I arranged for my confidantes to go to the family I had been friends with for a ceremony. The second day was originally the day when Jin’s family returned to her natal family, but Jin’s natal family was far away in Jinling, so it was saved. This is out.Jia Qiong took the four of their mothers to Tianlu Mountain to celebrate the New Year with Jia Jing.This is a custom formed during the Chinese New Year.

The New Year's Eve on Tianlu Mountain is not as lively as in the capital, and it has a sense of immortality.Jia Jing is old enough to be Jia Qiong's grandfather, even though they are uncles and nephews in seniority.At Jin's age, he doesn't pay much attention to anything, so he brought a few children to visit Jia Jing to pay New Year's greetings.

Since Jia Qiong settled down her family, she asked Jia Jing to give her sisters scientific names. The eldest sister was named Yuxian, the second sister was named Yuyan, and the fourth sister was named Yushu. All the sisters liked it very much.On weekdays, there are often needles and threads made by myself, and today I came to pay New Year's greetings, and I brought the best things I made as a filial piety.

Jia Jing said directly to the Jin family in comfort: "From now on, younger brothers and sisters will only treat me as a real brother."

"Look at what his uncle said, every year we come to Tianlu Mountain on the second day of junior high school, and officially treat you as a big brother." Jin smiled. She has always been very grateful to Jia Jing for taking care of her son, let alone being a big brother , it's okay to be a real father.

Jia Jing laughed happily. Although he has gone to the mountain to cultivate immortals, he still wants to get a little bit of worldly fireworks on the big day of Chinese New Year. He sighed: "Jia Zhen, that bastard, never remembers to invite me for New Year's Eve." Ann, this son is for nothing."

"His uncle said this, and I feel wronged for Brother Zhen. He is now the patriarch, and he has to make decisions about big and small matters in the clan. He is too busy. Even so, I heard from Qiong'er that he still Come here often to say hello, and the next year's ceremony is even more generous, so don't his uncle say such hurtful words to the child." Jin comforted.

"Okay, brothers and sisters, don't comfort me. Is it a frequent visit every few months? The gift was prepared by his wife. It is flashy and not very useful. According to the usual practice, let Qiong'er convert it into silver and help the surrounding people. .” Jia Jing said.

Jia Qiong was listening, responding from time to time, man, it's so strange.When he and Jia Jing were not familiar, Jia Jing was a cowardly and irresponsible villain. Now Jia Jing really loves him and helps him a lot. Now he despises Jia Zhen's incompetence and corrupt morality.Humans are all selfish, they always favor those close to them.

After resting on the mountain for a night, Jia Qiong brought his mother and sisters to Maoer Hutong, and then visited the neighbors and relatives to pay New Year's greetings. Now the Jin family and relatives from previous years do not go around much. Now it is Jia Qiong who is diligent in communicating. Many of the friends I made later, those relatives and friends from my humble beginnings, automatically cut off contact.In the past few years, the Jin family paid a visit as usual, but they never paid a return visit, and even met a family who wanted to come to play the autumn wind, and refused to give back, accusing Jia Qiong of being rich and forgetting relatives and friends. Jin's heart is really weak.Except for a few real relatives, the rest were ignored.

The New Year has been lively and lively, and the Spring Festival has arrived as scheduled.

With Jia Qiong's ability, he was naturally on the list, and after the results, he was still No.3.This made Lu Tong's nickname "Qion San'er" famous. Jia Qiong ranked third, and she was No.3 in the two exams, so she naturally got the nickname.

Jia Qiong chased after Lu Tong and beat him violently, "I told you to call me a nickname, and see what a mess it is!"

Lu Tong hugged his head to dodge, and said: "I don't agree, you can also give me a nickname. I like Tongda and Tonger, but I am out of everyone's rank. I just want to keep a nickname." Have no idea!"

Jia Qiong laughed angrily.

Jia Qiong also performed well in the final palace examination, and entered the top ten. In the end, His Majesty was going to receive the top ten in the palace examination, and Jia Qiong undoubtedly gained the limelight again.

"Jia Qiong, I heard that you competed with Juzi and claimed to be number one in the world?" the emperor said with difficulty.

"Your Majesty, when we communicated with each other that day, Jiang Yin was aggressive, and the students only talked about it. What's more, the students never said that they were number one in the world, they only said that they were number one in the world, and they had to be humble Be careful." Jia Qiong stepped out and replied.

Jiang Yin missed the subject that he liked to hear, and Jia Qiong offended him by not shooting.

"Then you want to follow Jia Jing to cultivate immortality, so what's the matter if you don't want to be an official in the court?"

"Your Majesty, the student lost his father when he was young, and his mother is weak and his sister is young. It is all thanks to his uncle's benevolence and righteousness that he can preserve himself, grow up smoothly, and be enlightened to study. The student serves his uncle wholeheartedly. He studies Taoism's innocence and inaction, and has no plans for the imperial examination. Only two years ago, I was ridiculed by a group of scholars who went to Tianlu Mountain to play, saying that my uncle avoided the world because of his incompetence, and became a monk because of his cowardice. People look at it!"

"He is a good boy who knows how to repay his kindness. Who is that guy who laughed at you?" the emperor asked with interest.

"Your Majesty Hui is also in the hall. It is Liang Yu who is ranked second in this subject." Jia Qiong pointed at Liang Yu.

"Oh, Liang Yu, it's because you don't practice morality?" Hearing the emperor's obviously prejudiced question, Liang Yu was almost frightened when he came out.

"Jia Qiong, how about I punish Liang Yu to vent my anger on you?" the emperor teased him.

Jia Qiong also pretended to be anxious and said: "No, Your Majesty, no, Liang Yu is my brother-in-law!"

"Ah?" The emperor was just making a joke. Generally speaking, Jia Qiong must be magnanimous. If Jia Qiong really took advantage of the situation and asked the emperor to punish Liang Yu, the emperor's impression of Jia Qiong would be bad. I didn't expect the plot to have such a magical twist.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Liang Yu's persuasion at the beginning was to let the student get a good reputation and walk in the world. Although the student doesn't care, there are many people in this world who look upward. It's just that the student was young and energetic at the time, and didn't understand it. We started arguing with him because we had some difficulties." Jia Qiong explained hastily.

"You said that you don't seem to be young and energetic now, so why is he your brother-in-law again?" The emperor was curious.

"Later, after the literary meeting in Bazhen Building, the students found out about it. Liang Yu defended the students a lot at the literary meeting, and went to visit the hangover students the next day. After going back and forth, they became familiar with each other. Only then did they realize that Brother Liang Yuxian treats people sincerely, with a cold face and a warm heart. My mother loves Brother Liang, so she agrees with her as the elder sister. Brother Liang has already told his parents at home, and if he has obtained permission, now the six rites have passed the Na Zheng. The title is officially married."

"Hahaha, it's a good story." Being an emperor also wants to be famous. There is such an anecdote among his disciples, so he naturally wants to intervene, saying: "When the time comes, I will give you two A betrothal gift is the one, alas, Liang Yu is my subject, and you are also my subject, so I want to give both a betrothal gift and a dowry."

Jia Qiong and Liang Yu fell to their knees, Xie En didn't mention it.

"Jia Qiong, I heard that you have a nickname called Qiong San'er, so I will choose you as Tanhua, which just fits your name." The emperor's interest continued, and he directly decided on the ranking, "Liang Yu is originally Second, don't change it, just be the second place. It is also a happy event for the second place and Tanhua to get married."

Then click on the number one scholar and Chuanlu, and the remaining six people's original rankings will be moved one by one.

As usual, Sandingjia was to be appointed as an official, and it was a normal procedure. After the announcement of the bachelor, Jia Qiong, who should be the leader of the order to thank him, had another moth.

Jia Qiong came out and said: "Your Majesty, the students are still young, so they are not worthy of important responsibilities. What's more, the students' imperial examinations are just to win the uncle's reputation, and they really have no plans to enter the officialdom."

The emperor pulled his face down. Since ancient times, only the royal family has disliked others. No one dares to dislike the royal family.Liang Yu was also terrified by this daring Jia Qiong, and went out to kneel with him, saying, "Your Majesty, forgive me."

"It seems that what your brother-in-law said is right. You really are a bold and reckless person. Since you are talented, why don't you serve the court and learn how to be a hermit?" The emperor was also angry, and his attitude changed in a blink of an eye. All kinds of terrible evaluations came out.

"Your Majesty, students are not the ones who seek fame and pride themselves on their reputation, but they are really unprepared. Students can be admitted to the Jinshi because of their outstanding poetry and their ability to speak well. Poetry is important for students. For self-entertainment, Your Majesty is no more than a small way, so what is the use in governing the country? As for policy theory, those opinions are the opinions of my uncle and the great Confucians who have been friends with my uncle. The students are just a writer, so how dare they put their credit on it? Take it on yourself."

"Why do you need to be humble? You just need to be taught by them." The emperor's tone softened.

"Your Majesty, at the beginning, I only wanted to take the examination for fame, and I had no other preparations for becoming an official. Like my brother-in-law, he also wanted to study water conservancy works while studying scientific examinations. He also worked as a criminal for three years in his hometown. Things that officials should understand. Policy theory is too big and empty, and it is useless for those who are new to the officialdom. Official affairs are the most important thing to master. In the eyes of students, this imperial examination is a stepping stone. It's useless to knock on the door, no matter how rare the door is."

"Hahaha, okay! It's the first time I've heard this kind of statement. I'm a courageous person, and Liang Yu is also a hearty one. Well, since you don't want to enter the officialdom, I can't treat you badly if you say something against me. It’s just to get the false title of five-rank Tongzhi.” The emperor Longxin was very happy, and a few days ago, the number one scholar in the previous examinations just passed the scriptures, which almost caused civil chaos.Although the news did not come out, the emperor was not very happy, and was thinking about how to solve it. With Jia Qiong's words and this example, the matter could be settled.

Jia Qiong and Liang Yu knelt down to thank each other.

Jia Qiong's remarks were naturally prepared. Others saw that Jia Qiong, a young and beautiful competitor, ruined his future, and didn't care that he won a false title of fifth rank. How could they care about buying one.

There is no longer a competitive relationship with Jia Qiong, and looking at him is particularly pleasing to the eye.

Sanding Jia went out to parade the streets, and the others also dispersed.

Liang Yu came out and touched the cold sweat on his head and said, "Qiong'er, you are too bold. Your majesty is becoming more and more powerful, how dare you..."

"Brother-in-law, didn't I praise you in a different way? You see, Your Majesty has a good impression of you. Anyway, I don't plan to be an official, so I just took this opportunity to let you stand out." Jia Qiong approached Liang Yu, pretending Get him a shirt.

"Hey, I'd rather not get ahead and scare someone to death." Liang Yu also whispered.

"Don't worry, I have my own measure." Jia Qiong laughed.

The number one scholar Wu Shiyou on the side smiled and joked: "Your brother-in-law and brother-in-law are on good terms. When I married my wife, my brother-in-law almost broke my head."

Jia Qiong said with a smile: "It can be seen that Mrs. Zun's relatives love her so much that they make things difficult for you. Didn't this make you marry by breaking your head?"

"Extremely, extremely." Wu Shiyou smiled. He is over 30, and his son is only one year younger than Jia Qiong. Looking at Jia Qiong is completely like looking at the eyes of juniors.

Jia Qiong also felt very sorry, because of his plan, he stole the limelight from the number one scholar. Fortunately, he was generous and didn't care.Jia Qiong secretly decided in his heart that if he was in trouble in the future, he must do his best to help.

The horse parade passed quickly, Jia Qiong said that because of his young age, his family would worry about going back late, so he didn't attend the next party.Wu Shiyou said: "Go back quickly, we will go back after drinking tea and talking a few words, there will be a Qionglin banquet tomorrow, so don't relax too much today, so as not to lose your dignity."

Jia Qiong ran back happily, without announcing the good news to the Jin family first. The servants who announced the good news must have gone to ask for rewards. Jia Qiong had already told his family about his day's routine, and the Jin family would not wait for him to eat.Jia Qiong led the horse and walked out of the city quickly, and then galloped towards Tianlu Mountain on horseback.

To put it too much, he went to take the imperial examination because of Jia Jing's anger. It seems that this is really the case. The first thing Jia Qiong did when he got out was to announce the good news to Jia Jing.Unexpectedly, when I got to the mountain, I heard a nasty ghost talking bad about me.

"Father, Jia Qiong has already entered the palace examination, and a Jinshi cannot escape. He used to confuse you with his sweet words, saying that he was devoted to seeking the Tao and not entering the world. He coaxed you to give him even the property on this mountain and on this mountain. I don’t know how good it is for him to be greedy for the things sent by our house. You think, but his family was a poor family in [-], and now it’s living in the Gaomen compound. Who knows that it’s the flesh and blood bitten from you. "In the door, Jia Zhen is suing. The only thing that can make the well-informed Jia patriarch think of him is Tianlu Mountain's property.Ever since Jia Jing and Jia Qiong became famous, the value of Mount Lu Mountain has also risen. In addition, there are great Confucian scholars living nearby, making the land price of a small hill in the suburbs as expensive as the golden district of the capital.

All these coins belong to Jia Zhen!When Jia Zhen thought of this, her heart ached beyond measure.

"Nonsense!" Jia Jing scolded angrily, "Qione'er paid for this mountain to honor me, and I paid for the Taoist temple to be repaired. Now the mountain land deed still has Qiong'er's name written on it! Do you think I don't know you? What kind of idea is this, I'm not dead yet, you come to plan Qiong'er's property!"

There was a plop, as if Jia Zhen knelt down on the ground, and said in a crying voice: "Father is a man of gods, and I don't know Jia Qiong's behavior. Didn't he coax your property in the name of serving you? Now he But I'm going to be an official!"

"Qiong'er just went to the imperial examination to win me over. Those sour scholars in the weekdays taunt me that I can't teach children. It's not because you have smeared me. Now let Qiong'er earn my face. You are so kind. Crying here!" Jia Jing said angrily.

"Father, he said he was venting his anger on you. Who knows what he thinks. He was rich because of you, but now he wants to kick you away and go to a high-ranking official!"

Jia Jing was about to scold him angrily, but Jia Qiong pushed the door open and came in, saying: "Don't bother Brother Zhen, I have already informed Your Majesty that I will not enter the officialdom, nor accept an official position."
