[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 24

The results of the selection of the Nine Princes' companions were announced on the second day.

One of the places was won by Jia Lian, the eldest son of Rong Guogong's eldest son, and the other passed the selection by Shang Qing, the youngest son of Shang Wenjie, Minister of Rites.This result did not meet most people's expectations, and only the second and fourth princes were a little bit worried when they learned of this result.

After the court was over, Zhang Song took the rare initiative to greet Jia Daishan and then chatted a few words.Although every word and every word revolves around Jia Lian, this is still an improvement, isn't it?Both of them knew that there was basically no problem with Jia Lian's selection this time, but if Jia Lian hadn't been capable, how could he be on the recommendation list.

Blissfully accepted the congratulations from their colleagues, the two old men finally parted ways in front of the palace gate.

In the Rongguo Mansion, after confirming the news that Jia Lian had been elected as the Ninth Prince's companion, the faces of the three hostesses were all brilliant.

On the one hand, Jia Shishi was happy that Jia Lian had this opportunity. After all, Jia Lian always represented the Rongguo Mansion. The more prosperous the Rongguo Mansion was, the higher her status as the Duke's wife would be.

"Sure enough, Lian'er was selected. I heard the master mention this matter a while ago, and I didn't expect the results to come out so soon. Lian'er has worked hard during this period. I remember there are still some century-old ginseng in the warehouse. After a while, you can take it back and make it up for Lian'er." The old lady smiled kindly at the eldest daughter-in-law.

Even if she prefers the second room and allows Mrs. Wang to do something to the big room, she will not stop the big room if it can be promising.

But Mrs. Wang's thoughts are not as complicated as Jia Shishi's.Why should Jia Lian from the big house be on the selection list but not Zhu'er?Mrs. Wang has great confidence in Jia Zhu. If Jia Zhu can also be on the selection list of the nine princes, Zhu Er, who studied hard, must be selected instead of Jia Lian, who spent a lot of time practicing martial arts!

It's a pity that the one who recommended Jia Lian to be on the selection list was Prince Shao Fu Zhang Song.That was Jia Lian's grandfather, how could he recommend his cousin instead of his own grandson.Mrs. Wang only hated her natal Wang family for not being able to give her any help in this regard. In her heart, Jia Zhu was infinitely better than Jia Lian.

And what she hates more, of course, is Mrs. Zhang who survived the poison/drug "Thousand Day Drunk".It's fine if she didn't poison her at the beginning, but Jia Shishi didn't want to ask her to ask the Zhang family for help to find a teacher for Zhu'er.As a result, Jia Lian went to the Zhang family to study at the age of five, but her Zhu'er was almost seven years old before studying with a Jinshi teacher with the help of Lin Ruhai, which delayed Zhu'er for two years!

If Zhu'er could study with Jinshi at the age of five, how could she not be as good as Jia Lian!

It's just that no matter how dissatisfied she is at this time, she can't just show it like this, she can only suppress her jealousy towards Da Fang in her heart.She twitched the corners of her lips, and said with a smirk: "Lian'er has really brought glory to our Rongguo Mansion this time. The Ninth Prince is the most beloved prince besides the Prince. Madam, can our Rongguo Mansion be with the Ninth Prince?" There are many benefits to getting closer."

Jia Shishi nodded straightly.This second daughter-in-law is usually not very good at talking, but today she spoke to her heart. Jia Lian being the companion of the Ninth Prince is not very beneficial to the Rongguo Mansion.Although the big house has more benefits, if it is done properly, Zheng'er and the other house can also get a lot.

Jia Shishi is still very confident about letting the big house give up part of the benefits. Jia She's filial piety to her mother is not just done.

Faced with the stinging words of the eccentric mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang could only suppress the worries in her heart and convict them: "Lian'er's good fortune depends on the cultivation of the master. As long as there is a master in the Rongguo Mansion The backbone is there, Lian'er and the others all have a bright future, but it's just a matter of time."

Mrs. Wang nodded secretly in her heart.

Jia Daishan and Jia Shishi's preference for their second wife was no secret in Rongguo Mansion. If it wasn't for Zhang's resolute move, how could she, the second wife's grandma, insert her own people so easily in every place of Rongguo Mansion.

It's a pity that Jia Daishan still attaches great importance to some rules, otherwise, as long as Mrs. Zhang is in good health, the housekeeper will always be in her hands.

Jia Shishi smiled even more when he heard this.Although Jia Daishan moved to Lixiangyuan, he usually comes to Rongqingtang to have dinner with her every two or three days.All this is enough to show that Jia Daishan still has a place in Jia Daishan's heart as his first wife, and he really moved away because of the need for self-cultivation, not for other reasons.

Although he is very confident in his own methods, it is impossible for Jia Shishi to not feel guilty at all.Jia Daishan's sudden moving away made her tremble for a long time. If nothing happened after that, she would not have been able to return to being a wealthy old lady who only loved to enjoy family happiness with her grandchildren so quickly.

After coaxing the two of them with a few simple sentences, Mrs. Zhang let out a long breath in her heart.She doesn't have so much energy to entangle with these two now. It is a good thing for Jia Lian to be the companion of the Ninth Prince, but opportunities always come with risks.In Zhang's view, it is not a good job to accompany the prince to read.

Jia Lian's status with the Ninth Prince was similar to that of Feng Jian and Ping Shu with Jia Lian.So what if Jia Lian is the future heir of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Daishan is the Duke of the state and a servant of the royal family, let alone Jia Lian.

In addition, the Ninth Prince is the most beloved youngest son of the Holy One, if such a prince is said to have no arrogant and domineering side, Mrs. Zhang would not believe it!Her son was already considered a kind-hearted son of the gentry, but the arrogance and superiority in his bones could not be completely concealed by his smile.

Mrs. Zhang knew that Jia Lian was a precocious child who was also educated by the supremacy of imperial power, but who was pampered and raised in Rongguo Mansion and Zhang Mansion, could he really be a good companion?

Just when the three hostesses were sitting peacefully in the Rongqing Hall, Jia Lian, who learned the news, rushed back to the mansion from the Zhang family school.Although there is no need for a special decree from the emperor to be selected as the prince's companion to read, officials from the Ministry of Rites will still come to announce the decree.

As the protagonist of this matter, Jia Lian couldn't be absent.

As soon as he got off the carriage and walked into Yimen, Jia Lian bumped into Jia Zhu. This cousin who died young in his previous life and was only two years older than him was looking at him with strange eyes.Eyes narrowed slightly, Jia Lian smiled and stepped forward to salute Jia Zhu: "Jia Lian has met cousin Zhu."

Jia Lian didn't know much about Jia Zhu, who had been placed high hopes by everyone in the Rongguo Mansion in her previous life.At that time, he said that he was raised in front of Jia Shishi, but actually he lived with Mrs. Wang in the yard of the second room.But Jia Zhu, who was supposed to be brought up by Mrs. Wang, lives with Jia Yuanchun in the courtyard behind Jia Shi's Rongqing Hall.

In the eyes of many people, Jia Zhu's early death completely cut off the hope of Rongguo Mansion's prosperity.

He entered school at the age of 14, and was valued by Li Shouzhong, the sacrificial wine of the Imperial College, in the Imperial College, and married his daughter Li Wan to him as his wife.Entering school means being admitted as a scholar, but in Jia Lian's memory, his cousin has never left the capital and returned to Jinling.

Students who have passed the college exam are scholars, but candidates must go back to their place of origin to take part in the college exam.Although everyone in the Jia family lives in the capital, their ancestral home is still in Jinling.It can be seen that Jia Zhu's "scholar" is quite tricky.And he can enter the Imperial College...

Speaking of this, Jia Lian couldn't help but sneer.

According to the laws and regulations of the Daqing Dynasty, Guozijian supervised students into four types: Enjian, Yinjian, Youjian, and Lijian.The supervisor in Jia Zhu is the shadow of grace in the shadow prison.Enyin refers to Beijing officials with the fourth rank and above, foreign officials with the third rank and above, and military officers with the second rank and above. According to the regulations, one son can be specially admitted to study in the Imperial Academy.

Jia Zheng was just a sixth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry, so it was impossible for Jia Zhu to get kindness. His quota of kindness came from his uncle Jia Amnesty.Although Jia Amnesty did not have a real position, he was granted the rank of a first-rank general, which was just in line with the requirements for a second-rank or higher military officer of Enyin.

In his previous life, Jia Lian didn't understand what it meant to be a supervising student. Mrs. Wang told him to let him give up this spot to Jia Zhu. He, who didn't like studying, immediately agreed happily.Then his son didn't want it, so Jia Amnesty couldn't withstand Jia Shishi's pressure, so he could only give Jia Zhu this spot.

So Li Shouzhong, the Guozijian offering wine, didn't really value Jia Zhu's talent, he valued the Rongguo Mansion behind Jia Zhu.It's just a pity that Li Shouzhong's plan failed.Jia Zhu missed several times in the autumn, and finally died when she was less than [-] years old, leaving behind Li Wan and little Jia Lan.

And Mrs. Wang didn't give the eldest daughter-in-law and eldest grandson any good looks. In her eyes, it was Li Wan who didn't take good care of Jia Zhu that caused his early death.As for Jalan, he beat his father to death not long after he was born.If it weren't for Mrs. Wang's attitude, how could Li Wan's mother and son be only slightly better than the transparent Jia Cong and Jia Huan in Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Lian in this life understands the situation Yinjian is facing in the Guozijian, and what he wants to do is to be an excellent prisoner, which means that Jia Amnesty's quota of kindness will still be reserved.But Jia Lian would not let it become Jia Zhu again, he would rather leave this spot to Jia Cong who might be born in the future.

Why is Jia Cong Jia Lian's half-brother, much closer than his cousin who is separated by a room.

"Lian'er doesn't need to be so polite." Jia Zhu stepped aside modestly, "I guessed that you should rush back to receive the order. Congratulations, Lian'er."

"Thank you, cousin Zhu." Jia Lian smiled like a spring breeze and bowed to Jia Zhu, how could he not see the trace of jealousy hidden in Jia Zhu's eyes.

It's ridiculous that Jia Zhu, whom he had always looked up to in his previous life, would be jealous of him in this life!However, this also shows that everything is really different.Although he has not been able to completely suppress Erfang since his rebirth, Dafang's status in Rongguo Mansion is obviously better than Erfang.

After he became the companion of the Ninth Prince, Dafang's advantage became more obvious.

Compared with the father and son Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu who are said to be able to read in the second room, it doesn't matter if Jia She of the eldest room is still a well-known dude in the capital, because the eldest room has him, a Jia Lian who is completely different from his previous life!

Jia Lian knows that he still lacks a lot, but he believes that he has systematic help and knows some things that will happen in the future. His life will definitely be completely different from his previous life.Becoming the companion of the Ninth Prince was the first shady event in his life.
