Xu Lian and True Phoenix of the Red Chamber

In Jia Lian's mind, he was thinking about passing the imperial examination to become an official, but most of the time he was "ideal is very full, reality is very skinny", and the reality really gave him a head-on blow.

The most important thing in the imperial examination is the eight-legged essay, and the questions in it are all from the Four Books and Five Classics, but he really has no impression of those Four Books and Five Classics, not to mention how to answer the questions, even the questions can be misunderstood. When people find out, they just laugh out loud.

"Is it possible that I really have to memorize all the Four Books and Five Classics?" Just thinking about having to memorize so many things, he couldn't help but get a headache, isn't that too difficult?Even if he spends time endorsing the book every day from now on, he doesn't know if there will be any good results within five years.

"It seems that the imperial examination is not as simple as he thought." Jia Lian couldn't help sighing.

"Otherwise, why don't you just buy fame?" This kind of situation is often shown on TV, and there have been cases of cheating in imperial examinations in history. Since he can pass through time, why don't he also follow the trend?

However, after a little thought, he decided to give up.

Cheating or something is not a good thing. Even if he fails the imperial examination now, it is not difficult to enter the official career after a little work, but if he cheats in the imperial examination, it will really cut off his own way out.Since he didn't have such a compelling situation, there was no need for him to take that risk, but he was delaying himself.

It's just that even though he considered it this way, the way of entering an official career through the imperial examination was blocked there.He fully felt the difference between entering an official career through the imperial examination.

The point of reference is Jia Zheng. If he had passed the imperial examination to become an official, I am afraid that he would not have only had one grade over the years, from the sixth-rank principal to the fifth-rank Yuanwailang.Don't you see that Wang Ziteng in the control group, who is about the same age as him, has already left him far behind.

Of course, Jia Lian hadn't thought about one thing before, that is, whether it was possible for Jia Zheng to pass the imperial examination.

"But if you don't pass the exam, then even if you don't even have the achievements of the second uncle." He really considered his own situation.

"Second Lord, Master Xue is here." When the boy at the door opened his mouth like this, Jia Lian was in no mood to study. He didn't really like Xue Pan, but even if he didn't, he didn't mind wasting time. For Xue Pan, the head of the Xue family, at least many benefits have been clearly shown.

"Second brother, do you have time today?" Xue Pan's face is unusually thick, and he can't feel whether Jia Lian's friendship is sincere or fake. As long as he has time, he will take the initiative to approach him. There is such a person who can take him to have fun. He was completely overjoyed, even though Aunt Xue had emphasized many times that he should go to Jia's family to study at home, he used to follow Jia Lian to visit the children in the capital to shirk it.

"I do have plenty of time, but I don't know about you," Jia Lian said with a smile, "You are the head of the Xue family, so why don't you take care of the family's business?"

Xue Panman said indifferently, "Those things are handled by the old people in the mansion. I don't understand those things. Even if I go, it's just very boring. I'm really not in the mood to listen to what they said!"

Even though he said so, Jia Lian was still very interested and wanted to see the Xue family's property.He has already understood a little bit, this time the Xue family came to Beijing, and they have closed all the shops in Jinling, and now all the businesses are in the capital, which can be regarded as lively.How can Jia Lian not want to find a chance to get a share of the pie?

"Unfortunately, I still want to see the demeanor of your Xue family's royal merchants!" Jia Lian said with a smile, looking forward to envy.

Emperor Shang, no matter how nicely he said it, he was still a businessman and ranked last. If other people listened to it, they might think that Jia Lian was being sarcastic. Unfortunately, if these words fell into Xue Pan's ears, everyone would be shocked. It was a compliment, "It's easy to say, easy to say, since the second brother is interested, he will naturally take the second brother to take a look."

"I'm afraid it's a little troublesome?" Jia Lian said as if he understood Xue Pan very much and absolutely didn't want to cause trouble.

Xue Pan waved his hands again and again, what's the trouble? Taking Jia Lian to the business office at home for an extra walk was also the idea of ​​Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, and they also asked him specifically, but he always felt troublesome and never said anything.

In fact, the mother and daughter of Xue's family also listened to Mrs. Wang's words and knew that Jia Lian had done a lot in these general affairs, so they wanted Jia Lian to spend some time on dealing with the Xue family's business matters.What's more, although Xue's family is an imperial merchant, they are definitely not counted as their family in this capital. They also thought that they could use the name of Rongguo Mansion to bluff others. It couldn't be better for Jia Lian to do it.

Jia Lian was able to figure out a little bit about their thoughts, but they probably didn't understand it, and it might not be so easy to let him do things for nothing!Such a good opportunity, if he didn't peel off the skin, he would feel sorry for himself!

Xue Pan himself never thought of so much. As long as he can eat, drink and have fun all day long, he is satisfied, and he doesn't care about other things.

It was also because of his temperament that Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai felt more worried.What is the difference between Xue Pan like this and a child walking in the busy market holding a gold ingot?It is impossible to tell when someone will rob the million-dollar family wealth.Nowadays, the wealth of the Xue family is the foundation of their success. The women of the Xue family know this very well.Perhaps Xue Pan was a little clear about it, but he never thought that he would not be able to keep the Xue family's money.

The Xue family's mother and daughter's idea of ​​wanting to use the Rongguo Mansion to keep their family wealth is correct, but they haven't thought of it for the time being, and their close relatives are the only ones who are interested in their million-dollar family wealth.What they are doing now has the meaning of sending meat to the wolf's mouth. Whether it is Mrs. Wang or Jia Lian, they all want to tear off a piece of meat, just to see who is better.

The property of the Xue family, since the previous head of the family, Xue Pan's father passed away, has not been very successful.Xue Pan was born to like to have fun, except that when he needed money, he would go to the cashier in his shop to withdraw money, and he didn't know anything else.

Although these shops are managed by old people for many years, when Father Xue was around, he was naturally able to restrain them, but Xue Pan obviously didn't have such a deterrent ability, so the business of the shop is getting better and better. Poor', at least that's what you can see when you look at the accounts every year.

However, because he is still an imperial merchant, with the purchases from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to survive, he can still support it.This is also the reason why Xue Baochai wanted to enter the palace. The older brother in the family is not good enough. If she wants to have a good future, she must work hard on her own.Not to mention, if she wanted Xue's parents to secure her position as an imperial merchant for a long time, she had to go to the palace to seek a future, which was also for the sake of her mother and elder brother.

It's a pity that even Xue Baochai's plan and Aunt Xue's plan are not very easy to use because of Xue Pan's stupid family.

Jia Lian followed Xue Pan for a stroll, and found that the Xue family had a wide range of businesses, such as silk, satin, jewellery, incense powder, and even a coffin shop. It's such a wide range." He said so, but in his heart, he had a certain amount of money.

Xue Pan couldn't guess what was going on in Jia Lian's heart. He was very proud to hear Jia Lian praise his family's business.

As for the situation at home, he was going to reveal it to Jia Lian, "Actually, the business in the shop is not good, and it can only be sustained if you lead the business in the palace." Such an attitude is natural. It wasn't something Xue Pan could think of by himself, it was all ordered by Aunt Xue, so he wanted Jia Lian to work hard for their family!

Of course, Aunt Xue didn't intend to let Jia Lian work for nothing, but she absolutely didn't want to give any big benefits. In her heart, she felt that she was Wang Xifeng's aunt and Mrs. Wang's sister, and she just wanted to order her around. Jia Lian is nothing, we are all relatives!As for Jia Lian's idea, she hadn't considered it.

Jia Lian understood seven or eight points after guessing, but he didn't reveal anything on the surface. Instead, he smiled very enthusiastically, "We are all in-laws, a family, if there is really anything, please tell me, as long as it is If I can help, I will definitely do my best.”

Xue Pan was immediately happy when he heard that, "Second brother said that we are all relatives, and naturally there will be no one who is closer than us. If you are willing to help, that would be really great."

Jia Lian wanted to help, but it wasn't the kind of help that Aunt Xue wanted. What he wanted was to use this opportunity to find out the ways of the Xue family's business thoroughly, and waited to serve him.As for Aunt Xue's idea, let him run errands, look at it, frighten these servants in charge, use the name of Jia's house to deter those outside who are jealous of Xue's business , if he is happy in his heart, he doesn't mind satisfying her a little bit, but if he wants too much, don't blame him.

Xue Pan didn't understand business matters, and he really had the time, so he went around and pretended not to let Aunt Xue nag him.

Now that he has led Jia Lian to finish watching, he feels that he has completed the task, and he wants to take Jia Lian to have a drink with a smile, and introduces the friends he has met these days to Jia Lian, "I am afraid that the second brother does not know that this capital city is so strange. There are so many wonderful people!"

Jia Lian didn't care about what kind of wonderful person Xue Pan met, but since he had already opened his mouth, he had to see him even if he didn't want to.What's more, although Jia Lian visited the capital for the reason of leading Xue Pan to see him these days, he neglected those aristocratic princes a lot.

It's just that in his heart, he didn't think that Xue Pan could make friends with the real family son, but the more he was like that, the more Jia Lian couldn't help being interested in it.He is most familiar with the maxim that the more friends, the wider the road.
