[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 62

After Shui Rong bid farewell to Jia Lian at the pier, he followed the housekeeper who came to pick him up and boarded the carriage back to Beijing Palace.He has been away from home for nearly a year, and even three months ago, Shui Gen did not go home to express his condolences when he was rescued and killed while accompanying his driver while hunting.It wasn't that Shui Rong didn't want to go back, but that Beijing Palace was not very safe at that time.

The fifth princess has lost her husband, it is safer for Shui Rong to stay by Jia Lian's side.

Watching the carriage going away, Jia Lian sighed quietly.Compared to the previous life where both parents died, Shui Rong in this life has a mother to protect her, which is already a great fortune.I just don't know why Emperor Longxu didn't attack the fifth princess, he was merciless in his previous life.

Could it be that Emperor Longxu had to compromise because of Shui Gen's military exploits in Northern Xinjiang this time?That's right, when Jia Lian died in the previous life, the problems on the Jurchens' side in Northern Xinjiang were not resolved. In this life, the Daqing Dynasty seized the opportunity of the Jurchen's death, and included Changbai Mountain in the territory of the Daqing Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Jia Lian didn't have time to find out whether his speculation was true or not. After visiting the Ninth Prince's Mansion Zhang's Mansion and Mei Mansion and Jia Min who brought his daughter back to the capital to prepare for marriage, he stayed in Ronghou Mansion for a month's autumn. Prepare.Fortunately, Ronghou's mansion is still observing filial piety because the filial piety period for Jia She and his wife has not yet passed, so Jia Lian does not need to socialize.

August is already a time when the autumn is high and the air is refreshing, and the only thing that makes candidates angry is meeting the autumn tiger.Not to mention the hot weather, the cramped numbered rooms in the tribute courtyard are even more tormenting for candidates. If the location of the numbered room is not good, and it happens to be near the toilet, then you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Compared with the relatively easy body search in Jinling, the inspection in this capital is much stricter.The meatloaf in Jia Lian's basket was completely smashed, the kettle was opened, and even his shoes and socks were asked to take off.Lin Ruhai had told him all these things, so he followed his orders with a normal complexion, while some other honorable children had no experience in scientific examinations, such as Jia Zhu, so their complexions were not very good-looking.

Autumn is divided into three sessions, which are held on August [-]th, [-]th and [-]th respectively. Each session lasts for three days and two nights, and you can go home and rest for two nights in between.August [-]th was originally the Mid-Autumn Festival for family reunion. Even princes with heavy schoolwork can rest on this day, but thousands of students have to continue their last day of suffering in the numbered room on this day.

Candidates like Jia Lian who take the exam locally are fine, and can go home after the exam.But more candidates have to leave their hometowns early to go to the test site, or live in hotels or rent, and those who don't have enough money can only live in temples.

Qiuwei is a scientific research in the true sense. Scholars just have some privileges compared to ordinary people, while Juren is qualified to become an official.The three exams were fairly easy for Jia Lian, the only bad thing was that he was not very lucky, he was a little closer to the toilet, some bad smells and blowflies made him completely obsessed with the meatloaf in the basket Lost appetite.

The admission rate for Juren was very low, but Jia Lian, who had already passed the exam, didn't care anymore.He has tried his best, if the result is not satisfactory, then he can only come back in three years.Of course, Jia Lian believed that if he didn't pass, then the scientific examination this time would definitely be tricky!

Jia Lian believes in his own strength. Although he has no idea whether he can obtain the solution required by the system, he is still very confident in becoming Xiaolian.

Jia Amnesty was still the same, and he didn't pay much attention to Jia Lian's affairs, and Zhang Shi was even more afraid of putting pressure on his son, so he never mentioned Qiu Wei's matter.The attitude of the parents made Jia Lian, who was a little nervous, relax, and put his mind on the book again.

Chunwei will be in February next year, and the days seem to go by quickly.

When the sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant, the servants who beat the gongs and drums came to the Ronghou Mansion, and Jia Lian became the leader of the autumn in the capital.Then there was meeting Fang Shihui in the same year, after several literary meetings, Jia Lian's gentle temperament and good talent made those scholars who were alienated and looked down upon him because he was a noble child gradually accepted him.

Jia Zhu was also admitted to Juren, but his ranking was lower.He didn't want to see Jia Lian who was in high spirits, so he rejected the invitation of the same year several times, and finally he was gradually forgotten by the students.

A few days after Jia Lian finally had some leisure, it was the day when Lin Yiyu and the Ninth Prince rejoiced again.Mrs. Zhang is still keeping her filial piety, and Jia Lian can only take care of everything.Lin Duoyu could only send his nanny over there, and he couldn't escape Situ Rui's side. Not only did he have to help entertain the guests, but he also had to help the groom guard the wine.

Feeling dizzy, he left the Ninth Prince and got into the carriage. Jia Lian looked at the stars in the dark blue sky outside the window with an inexplicable expression.From the time he returned to the capital, he noticed that Situ Rui's attitude towards him had changed. Although he was still not that close, the cynicism had disappeared.

And today, Situ Rui smiled at him even more!

Jia Lian just felt horrified by this, even if Situ Rui didn't smile at him, he had to obediently help him stop the drink.

After finishing his work, Jia Lian continued to return to the days of reading books obediently.If Qiuwei is a stepping stone, Chunwei is an opportunity to jump into the dragon's gate.

Chunwei is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the place of the examination is the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites in Beijing.

Shang Wenjie, the father of Shang Qing, Jia Lian's former little friend, was also deposed by Emperor Longxu when the prince was abolished. The family left the capital and returned to their hometown.After going through this incident, Shang Qing seems to have grown up a lot all of a sudden, and his relationship with Jia Lian has also improved a lot.

Jia Lian was not in the capital at that time, but he received a letter from Shang Qing.Shang Qing said that he will definitely study hard, and one day he will return to the capital with his family.Originally he was the youngest son, Shang Wenjie's plan for him was just not to cause trouble, just inherit a family business and live a good life.

At that time, he was forced to grow up.It was because not only Shang Wenjie lost his official position, but his elder brothers were also dismissed by Emperor Longxu.The Shang family wants to make a comeback, and the only one they can rely on in this generation is him.

Just when Jia Lian was thinking about whether Shang Qing would come to the capital to participate in the Spring Festival, Situ Rui sent him a message.Shang Qing was admitted to Juren, and wanted to go to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival next year, but Shang Wenjie died of illness at this time, so Shang Qing had to stay in his hometown for three years.

Jia Lian was taken aback by Situ Rui's news.Firstly, Situ Rui dislikes Shang Qing even more than him, and treats him as if he doesn’t exist; secondly, Situ Rui cares so much about Shang Qing’s news. Has Qing already prostrated himself under Situ Rui's golden boots?

The Shang family's hometown is in the fertile Sichuan and Shu area...

Jia Lian, who vaguely understood the plan of the Situ Yuan brothers, wrote back a letter to Situ Rui, and then immersed himself in the sea of ​​books again.

In the blink of an eye, when Lin Duoyu sent the good news, the Spring Festival also came.

Jia Lian heard that Mrs. Wang of Jia's mansion knew that Lin Xi was pregnant, and asked Jia Yuanchun to come to the door with a congratulatory gift, but she didn't even enter the door. Situ Rui's words made her completely lose face.

"The Jia family is still in the period of filial piety, so the eldest girl came to the door like this, is she trying to offend the princess?"

Jia Yuanchun was labeled with ulterior motives and returned to Jia's mansion crying.Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her daughter, and in the end, she had to call some of Jia Zheng's roommates to serve tea, pour water and beat the curtains, and finally suppressed the anger in her heart.

Jia Min's daughter was married so well and got pregnant so soon. Her Yuanchun has not yet got married yet.Jia's mansion will be able to produce filial piety next year, and I don't know if we can find a good husband for Yuan Chun by then.

Speaking of which, neither Jia Tanchun nor Jia Huan, who were the second wife in this life, were born.

On the day Jia Baoyu was born, Jia Shishi had a stroke and was paralyzed on the bed. Without her suppression, Mrs. Wang could control Jia Zheng's backyard better.When she was still in bed confinement, she knew from Zhou Rui's family that Jia Shishi's housewife, Zhao Yinggeer, was nearly four months pregnant.

This house girl who was renamed Chun Xing by Jia Zheng did not upgrade to aunt after giving birth to a daughter like in her previous life, but accidentally slipped to a miscarriage while visiting the garden, and completely lost her qualifications to be a mother.

At this time, Jia's mansion is observing filial piety, and the month of the child in Chunxing's stomach is too close to the day of Jia Daishan's death.Jia Zhengben was not happy that this child might cause damage to his reputation, and he was relieved that the child was gone.

Having lost her child and Jia Zheng's favor, Chun Xing just quieted down in the backyard, just like Aunt Zhou who also lost a formed male fetus back then, her sense of existence has become extremely low.

After the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival is coming.Jia Zhu fell ill due to overwork and cold, and she was unable to be cured even after inviting her husband, but in the end she procrastinated more and more.In the end, he had to reluctantly give up the scientific expedition, and Jia Zheng was very disappointed.

Although Jia Zhu had always been suppressed by Jia Lian in taking part in the imperial examination, at least he also passed the imperial examination.When Jia Zheng's filial piety period has not yet ended and Ding You, if Jia Zhu can finally participate in the palace examination, the Jia family can always leave a little impression on Emperor Longxu, so that when the filial piety period ends next year, maybe his position can be kept.

It's a pity that Jia Zhu fell ill at this time, and Jia Zheng was angry and helpless.Looking at his son lying on the bed with abnormally red cheeks due to high fever and still muttering sentences from "Four Books", Jia Zheng could only tell Fei Ming and the girl to take good care of him, then shook his head and left.

At this time, Jia Baoyu, who was more than two years old, walked steadily and spoke fluently, just ran into Jia Zheng who was in a bad mood.The eldest son fell ill after studying so much, but this seemingly auspicious child is actually from the Ke family, who is still cuddling with the beautiful maids, and even pesters them to eat the rouge on their lips!

Thinking that when he was one year old, he was also grabbing rouge, Jia Zheng became angry, and unceremoniously touched Jia Baoyu's buttocks a few times, causing Jia Baoyu to cry in pain and fright.

It's a pity that Jia Shishi was paralyzed on the bed and couldn't move. Mrs. Wang, who was not in good health, was busy taking care of Jia Zhu who was sick.The final result was that Jia Baoyu followed Jia Zheng to learn to recite the "Three Character Classic" with red eyes in his study. As long as he could not recite it a little bit, he would be baptized with a ruler.

After listening to Jiang Jie's report, Jia Lian was silent for a long time, and finally waved him off.

The treatment of Jia Baoyu in this life is really different from that in the previous life, and I don't know if the strict teaching of his good second uncle will make Jia Baoyu's temperament different?If Jia Baoyu is no longer the temperament of Donghua Jiangzhu, will he be more responsible than in his previous life?
