[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 11

In order to change the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Daishan has considered all aspects, but it is a pity that besides him, there is no other pillar in the huge Rongguo Mansion.No matter how close the relationship between Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion is, they are still two branches, not to mention the current situation of Ningguo Mansion is not very good.

Although Jia Jing passed the imperial examination, he was still struggling in the Imperial Academy after so many years.

Jia Daihua is powerful, but now military generals are obviously not as popular as civil servants, and scholars from scholarly families and scholars from farming and studying families will not sell his face.If Jia Jing wants to make some achievements, he can only rely on himself.However, because he can study, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was brought up by pampering, except that he was forced by Jia Daihua in his studies, which can be said to be smooth sailing, even the imperial examinations were passed in one go.

It is this kind of growth experience that makes Jia Jing's life in the Imperial Academy extremely sad.Compared with the dandies like Jia She from Xungui's family and the nerds like Jia Zheng who failed the exam, Jia Jing's status can be said to be superior.But in the Hanlin Academy, he is a good scholar who can be stepped on by everyone.

Shu Jishi is elected every three years. After the hall is closed, they either stay in the Imperial Academy to continue their studies after being promoted, or they are admitted to the Sixth Ministry or sent out.However, Jia Jing has been a concubine for more than eight years. Seeing that the ninth year is coming, when he may be able to make it through his seniority, the Hanlin Academy's rejection of him has intensified.

Jia Daihua didn't know all this, but Jia Jing never thought of telling him.Just tell Jia Daihua so what, can he make those civil officials stop targeting him?He did this when he first entered the Hanlin Academy, but the result was that the problem was not resolved, and he had a harder time on the contrary.

When Jia Jing's heart of avoiding the world is getting heavier and heavier, the Ningrong Second House is still proud of this uncle Jing who was born as a Jinshi.

Compared with Jia Jing, Lin Ruhai's background determines the difference in his treatment.

After being selected as Tanhua, he directly obtained the official position of editor of Qipin Hanlin Academy.Marrying Jia Min allowed him to gain some support in the court, but while his official career was smooth, it also created a little gap between him and Qinggui.These estrangements don't seem to matter at the moment, once Jia Daishan passes away and the Rongguo Mansion doesn't have a successor, Lin Ruhai will become a lone minister again.

Lin Ruhai knows what his choice means, so compared to Jia She, who can't support the wall, he is more inclined to Jia Zheng, who has a good personality and loves to read.In the future, even if Jia Amnesty inherits the title of his father-in-law Jia Daishan, it will be nothing more than a vacant position, but Jia Zheng may be a brother-in-law who helps each other in the court.

So even if it is better to know that Jia Min and Mrs. Wang do not deal with Zhang's relationship, Lin Ruhai's attitude towards the eldest and second wife of Rongguo Mansion is not very clear, but it is also very subtle.

Both Zhang and Jia Lian didn't know about it, and even if they knew it, they couldn't change anything.

What Jia Amnesty did was not concealed in the slightest, coupled with some people's private fan flames, his reputation has long been stigmatized.Even if outsiders know that Jia She's wife, Mrs. Zhang, came from a noble family and that Jia Lian was brought up by Zhang, but with Jia She as a father, he needs to make more efforts to change other people's views.

After Jia Lian took two more Yijinforging Pills, it finally ushered in the [-]th birthday of Zhang's mother, the old lady of the Zhang family.

Mrs. Zhang is the old daughter of Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang, and their only daughter.She was raised by gold and jade since she was a child, even if she is no worse than Jia Min, but in the end she had to marry a dude like Jia She because of a kindness, the guilt of the young and old Zhang family towards this aunt can be imagined.

After learning from Zhang that Jia Lian and Jia She are completely different, it is not surprising that this time the mother and son came to the house early on the fifth day of the second day and Jia Lian was loved by everyone.Of course, this is also inseparable from Jia Lian's beautiful appearance at a young age.So who can not like a child who is exquisite and polite?

It’s just that for Jia Lian, the grandmother, aunt and two cousins ​​who met for the first time should not be so fond of him. His cheeks, which are tenderer than a baby’s skin after taking Yijin forging bones, have been squeezed countless times up!

Looking at her son who was pouting and looking at her asking for help with teary eyes, Mrs. Zhang turned her head and smiled unkindly.Her son is usually too precocious, and it is rare for him to have such a childish side. As a mother, she is very pleased.

"Okay, okay, this is the first time my grandson has officially come to visit us today, and I'm going to be scared away by you, let's see how I deal with you!" Mrs. Zhang laughed and cursed, pulling Jia Lian to sit beside her, and guarding her. arms.

"Cousin Lian, we will fall out of favor." The eight or nine-year-old girl in a water-red dress covered her mouth and chuckled, and tapped the forehead of the girl in the green skirt next to her, "Fang'er, did you You are so happy that a cousin is coming, but this cousin really came today, are you still happy?"

"Cousin Lian is so cute, it's only right for grandma to love him more." Zhang Fang, a girl in a green skirt, smiled.

"You two, are you still fighting for favor with your cousin who rarely comes here?" Mrs. Zhang kept smiling on her wrinkled face, "Come on, Lian'er, these are your two cousins. The one in the red dress is your second uncle." Your eldest cousin Zhang Ying, and the one in the green dress is your uncle’s second cousin Zhang Fang."

She is also an old lady with a high status in the mansion. Old lady Zhang is completely different from Jia Shishi. She has already handed over all the housekeeping rights in her hands to the eldest daughter-in-law, enjoying the family happiness of having grandchildren.In Mrs. Zhang's mind, it is better for her children and grandchildren to live better than herself, so she will not harm the interests of her children and grandchildren for her own benefit.

Jia Lian could feel that the two cousins' admiration and closeness to their grandmother were different from the Sanchun sisters in Jia's mansion in his previous life.The three springs have different personalities. Among them, Jia Tanchun, who was born in the second house, and Jia Shishi have the best relationship, but this is only superficial.Jia Shishi is at the top of Jia's pyramid, that's why Jia Tanchun flattered her so much.

It would be nice if my grandmother was a grandmother, maybe the Rongguo Mansion in my previous life would not end up like that.Such thoughts flashed through Jia Lian's mind instantly.

Jia Lian has memorized so many books, although he dare not say how much he understands, but they are still influential. Coupled with Zhang's guidance and hints, some of his ideas are completely different from those in his previous life.Although he has not completely leaned on Qinggui's side, he has gradually distanced himself from Xungui.

"Hello, first cousin, second cousin." Jia Lian endured the grievances, and obediently greeted the two cousins ​​who pinched his face before they came in and had no time to introduce each other.It can be seen that the status of the two cousins ​​in Zhang's mansion is very different, and he can't make people in Zhang's mansion dislike him just because of a trivial matter.

Before coming to Zhang's mansion, his mother, Mrs. Zhang, told him that he could not do without the help of the Zhang family if he wanted to be an official in the imperial examination. An example is Brother Jin from Dongfu.It was also after hearing what his mother said that Jia Lian understood why Brother Jing from Dongfu gave up everything and went to practice Taoism. It turned out that he was excluded and chose to exile himself after Jia Daihua's death.

The Rongning Second Mansion is not as powerful as Jia Lian thought in his previous life, and the power of the four kings and eight princes is only superficial.

In fact, Jia Lian still doesn't know the identity of the Zhang family. He just knows from Zhang that the Zhang family is a scholarly world, and he has two uncles who are much older than his mother.

The uncle's family has four children, three sons and one daughter, the youngest daughter is his second cousin Zhang Fang.The second uncle's family has only two children, a son and a daughter, and the daughter is still the youngest, Zhang Ying who is standing below in a red dress.

Considering that his grandfather also had three children, and his mother, Zhang, was the youngest daughter, Jia Lian had to secretly lament the strength of the Zhang family's blood.His mother had only one child in his previous life. Will he have siblings who are truly connected by blood in this life?

Although Jia Yingchun and Jia Cong are also Jia She's children, they basically don't exist in Rongguo Mansion.Jia Yingchun was a little better, at least on the surface she was raised by Jia Shishi, even though she was still picked up by her own nanny, the whole mansion still knew about such a second lady.

What about Jia Cong?

Jia Huan, who is not even the second wife, can't compare to him. Except when the ancestral hall is opened every year to worship the ancestors, at other times, this concubine younger brother doesn't seem to exist at all.If Mrs. Xing hadn't had the idea of ​​recording him in her own name, Jia Lian probably wouldn't even have known that she had such a younger brother.

After rebirth, Jia Lian learned from Zhang about the importance of siblings by blood.If he wants to stand firm in the court, he must have enough influence.The Zhang family will give him some help because of the Zhang family, but the Zhang family also has their own grandson, so it is impossible to use all their power on this grandson.

As for the uncle Lin Ruhai arranged by his grandfather Jia Daishan, Jia Lian really doesn't have much hope now.Although this uncle is in the emperor's heart, it is the old sage who has good trust in him, not the one who succeeded Jia Yuanchun as a virtuous concubine.

In the end, Lin Ruhai couldn't even keep Lin Daiyu alive and died young, so what else could he do for his wife's nephew?

Now Jia Lian puts most of his hopes on Zhang's family, and this time because of his grandmother's birthday, staying with Zhang's family in Zhang's house for a few days is a good time for him to investigate the details of Zhang's family.No matter how precocious Jia Lian was, she was still a child in Zhang's heart, and some things were not suitable for him to tell him now, and even if he told him, he might not always understand.

Therefore, the names and official positions of the grandfather and the two uncles are still unknown to Jia Lian now.As a reborn person, although he doesn't understand the division of power in the court, he also understands some major events.

There are many officials with the surname Zhang in the court, but the most famous one is Zhang Jihe, a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts.He was not only the cabinet minister trusted by the old sage, but also Cheng Engong, who was appointed by the new sage later!

In the previous life, who would have thought that the last one to ascend to the throne was not the crown prince, let alone the other older and powerful princes in the court, but the seventh prince who was neither showy nor dewy?

The concubine of the seventh son of the emperor is the daughter of a scholar of the Martial Arts Hall, named Zhang Fang.
