Red House Shoufu

In fact, this autumn Shuntianfu's provincial examination is full of outstanding talents. With Jia Lan's real level, he can squeeze into the top [-] and the bottom [-] in a burst.

Normal performance is about one hundred and fifty. Regardless of age, in many cases, a person's life experience plays a huge role in the examination room to a large extent.

The township examination is different from the county, government, and hospital examinations. It is difficult to surpass others by rote memorization.Policy theory is one of Jia Lan's shortcomings. If it weren't for the fact that he had heard a lot of knowledge outside of books at Lin Shu's place in the past two years, Qiu Wei might lose his reputation this time.

When Lin Shu was reviewing the papers, he saw several familiar keywords on an answer paper, most of which were words he had said when discussing the current situation with Jia Lian.

For example, opening the sea ban, cracking down on smuggling, deepening maritime trade exchanges, etc., the current affairs policies on fiscal and taxation reform in the answer sheet are basically based on the original words that Lin Shu once said in private discussions with Jia Lian.

Jia Lan had listened to it many times, and after reading it with his ears and eyes, when he saw such an exam question, he naturally wrote it down.Of course, his knowledge reserve is not enough to fully explain this question, but several examiners who marked the answer sheet still gave good grades.

When Lin Shu guessed the owner of this answer sheet, he originally wanted to mention his grades, but when he finally saw that there were already six circles on it, he gave up this idea.

As long as he can get in the middle school, he will be successful. With the current status of the Jia family, it doesn't really matter whether Jia Lan's performance in the local examination is high or not.

It's not Jieyuan, the remaining No.2 is no different from the [-]th!
"Second uncle..."

The grandfather and grandson were talking, Jia Cong hurried in from the outside, his face full of disbelief.

"What's the matter? You're in a panic!" Jia Zheng is quite satisfied with the brothers in the government. They are either studying literature or practicing martial arts. He can't see the mischief in the past few years. He has already seen the beauty of the Jia family. future.

Jia Cong's voice trembled a little: "Second Uncle, Cousin Lin, Cousin Lin, he's a Marquis!"

……

Jia Shishi woke up early today, although the old lady has a dispensable attitude towards Jia Lan's participation in the rural examination, but if there is a juren in the family, it will be considered a happy event.

Today she specially wore a festive red brocade dress, and sat in the Rongxi Hall waiting for the news to be posted on the Guibang.

The senders of the good news from Shuntian Mansion came to the gate of Rongguo Mansion knocking and beating, and the crackling sound of firecrackers resounded throughout Ningrong Street.

The old lady was also very happy when she learned that her great-grandson, Jialan High School, ranked [-]th in the Shuntianfu Township Examination.

"Yuanyang, go tell the front yard that you are very happy today. Everyone in the whole family will give out a month's extra money, and let Lian'er give more rewards to those who announce the good news. We can't let people say that our family is stingy..."

The old lady, who always likes to be lively, has already planned in her heart whether to sing a three-day drama or a five-day drama.When Li Wan led the newly-promoted master Jia Lan to kowtow to the old lady, the small wooden box was filled with the golden lockets he got.

Jia Lan went to the front yard to kowtow to his grandfather Jia Zheng who had just rushed back home. Almost all the female family members in the Rongxi Hall were present.Wang Xifeng and others were chatting and laughing with the old lady when there was a sudden noise outside the door. …

I saw Jia Zheng led Jia Lan to lift the curtain and walk in, bowed and bowed, and told a news that surprised everyone.

"Mother, Your Majesty has just decreed that your nephew will be appointed the Marquis of Yongfeng County for the founding of the country, and he will be hereditary!"

"What? Marquis Yongfeng? The hereditary Marquis of the county?"

Although Wang Xifeng and other juniors were surprised by Lin Shu's conferment of Marquis, they still haven't figured out the difference between Marquis and Marquis, let alone the special meaning and influence behind Lin Shu's conferment of Marquis.

Jia Shishi understands, when he first married into Rongguo Mansion, Jia Daishan only had the title of county earl, and the historian only had one empty marquis.

After Jia Daishan fought with the Tartars in the grassland for more than ten years, and was injured countless times, big and small, he finally became a prince.That's it, according to the imperial court's system, when Jia Shen inherits the title, he can only attack the first-class marquis if he wants to be demoted.

Hereditary without replacement, this is the real rest with the country.

Jia Shishi asked: "Zheng'er, do you mean that the edict granted by His Majesty to Lin Shu is a hereditary county marquis? Or is it a civil servant?"

"The niece sent all the posts to the house, saying that the family was too busy to keep their feet on the ground, so she couldn't come to the house immediately to congratulate Lang Geer."

Jia Zheng handed the bronzing post from the Lin family to the old lady, and said enviously, "My son has seen it. The founding of the country was promoted by the minister of Yongfeng County. Bit, my nephew has set a precedent."

Jia Shishi was very familiar with the words on the post. During the years when Daiyu was in the residence, she often helped her copy scriptures.

The old lady couldn't help but feel sour. Although her family's title is a first-class prince, it will be downgraded after three generations. Compared with the hereditary second-class county prince, it is still worse.

"Mother, my son thinks he should send someone to congratulate him, so let Lian'er and Baoyu go!"

Seeing that his mother's expression was not very good, Jia Zheng reminded: "Cong'er said that almost all the princes' houses in the court have sent people there. We, the nephew's uncle's house, have to go there earlier. Only two or three of the nephews can come over." If you use paper figurines, let Lian'er and the others entertain guests for your nephew."

When he said the words "mother-in-law's family", Jia Zheng deliberately emphasized the tone of his words, and the old lady naturally understood the meaning of the words, and a smile appeared on her face again.

"Just do as you said, let Lian'er and Baoyu go there together. Feng girl, go to the storeroom to choose the best gift, our family is the uncle of Shu brother, we can't be rude in front of outsiders..."

……

The bustle of the Lin Mansion lasted until the evening, and the warehouses were almost filled with gifts from greeting cards.

The palace not only bestowed the marquis with ceremonial vehicles and vehicles, but also various gold and jade ornaments. It is said that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry have stepped up to engrave the imperial plaque. Before the banquet in the Lin Mansion three days later, the imperial plaque will appear in the forest. above the gate of the mansion.

Daiyu had been busy all day, after dinner, she didn't even take a walk in the yard with Lin Shu to digest food as usual, but went back to her room early to rest.

Wang Momo looked at the tired Daiyu, and gently massaged her shoulders and legs with distress.

"The wives and wives who came to the mansion today have opened my eyes. How can anyone talk about proposing marriage in front of a girl..."...

Daiyu heard Wang Mama's complaint, smiled and said: "It's just a joke, Mama, don't you see that the two sisters-in-law didn't keep talking, so don't be angry about it."

Lin Shu became a marquis, and Daiyu's status became even more dignified.Those families that had previously given up their minds because of some bad rumors, now thought of marrying Daiyu again.

Fortunately, both Lin Bo and Lin Feng's wives understood that Daiyu's marriage could not be settled easily, and those families who talked about it intentionally or unintentionally, both of them could not understand their arrogance.

Whenever those wives and wives talked about Daiyu's marriage, the sixth sister-in-law Li and the seventh sister-in-law Lu changed the topic at the same time, without giving those people a chance to talk about it again.

Especially Lin Feng's wife, Lu Shi, the daughter of the dean of Jiangnan Dongpo Academy, is not only good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also has been in and out of various mansions in the south of the Yangtze River since childhood. very.

Said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here, Daiyu is talking about today's affairs with Wang Momo, when Xueyan's report comes from outside the door, and Mrs. Lu personally sent a bowl of ginseng soup.

"Why is Seventh Sister-in-law here so late?"

Mrs. Lu handed over the ginseng soup in his hand, and said with a soft smile: "You have been tired all day today, Liusao and I are worried that you won't be able to survive, so I will bring you the ginseng soup without cooking it."

Daiyu had been with the two for more than half a year, and knew their temperaments well, so she picked up the small bowl and started drinking.After she finished drinking all the ginseng soup in the bowl, the aunt and sister-in-law talked about today's events.

I just heard Mrs. Lu say: "Don't worry about today's affairs. Most of these people are following the trend. Seeing that our family has become a noble, they will try their best to seek advantage. Even if there are some gossips, don't take them back. matter. As long as our family does not fail, your future will be fine."

Daiyu smiled and replied: "I didn't take those people's words to heart. The person from the Xia family said something bad about me before, and their business was almost withdrawn from Gyeonggi because of my brother's suppression... "

"Deserved!"

Lu's spat lightly: "A good girl's family, thinking about robbing a married man every day, she deserves to be sent to the palace to serve others!"

Xia Jingui's life is not good now. In order to save himself a way out, Zhang Siwei not only used half of the Xia family's wealth to please the second saint in the palace, but also sent Xia Jingui into the palace to show his loyalty.

It's a pity that there are too many people fawning on the Supreme Emperor, 1 million taels of silver is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor who has been rich all his life.Back then, the big families in Jinling sent a huge amount of silver to the palace every year, only 1 million taels. During the prosperous years, it was not enough for his old man to spend his next trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

As for Xia Jingui, it was even worse. First she served the ill-tempered Zhen Shi in Longshou Palace, and then she was fined to go to the Department of Punishment for stepping into the palace gate with her left foot first.

The work assigned to her by the chief eunuch was even more arduous, and all the dirty work was assigned to her. Xia Jingui, who originally wanted to follow Yuanchun's way of becoming a concubine, seemed to be ten years older in less than two months.It is said that Zhang Siwei's name is not even mentioned now, and he just wants to survive to the age of leaving the palace earlier and go home for a few days of good life.

After the Lu family scolded those who said Daiyu was not good before, they asked in a mysterious voice: "Listen to what my sister-in-law said, some people have to hurry up. Look at the appearance of those people today, see our family If she didn't talk to her, she turned all her eyes to the concubine, wishing that she would be rushed to be a concubine in the palace!"...

As soon as these words came out, Daiyu's pretty face instantly turned red to the base of her ears.

Naturally, Mrs. Lu knew that Prince Zhongshun's son, Gao Wanjiang, was in love with Daiyu. Although the family didn't mention it explicitly, Prince Zhongshun used various reasons to send things to Daiyu every now and then. Lu's had already seen the clue.

Especially today when the Lin Mansion just received the decree of being a Marquis, the Concubine Cui of Zhongshun brought the little Princess Gao Yunwan to the Lin Mansion to congratulate. This attitude is too obvious, isn't it.

"Back then, your sister-in-law and I went to the academy to deliver meals to my father, and your seventh brother was being punished by his father. His appearance of grinning and being scolded made me laugh on the spot. Since then, he has created opportunities to run into me many times... Heh, He thought I didn't know, but I just couldn't bear to expose his trick!"

Speaking of the past, Lu's was obviously immersed in sweetness, with smiles all over his eyes.

She shared her experience with Daiyu as someone who has been there: "When it rained one day that year, I deliberately created an accident, making your seventh brother think that I fell into the lotus pond. I didn't even think about it. Without thinking about it, I jumped off the pond to save me. When he was caught by me, I decided to live with him for the rest of my life..."

"Actually, your seventh brother is a landlubber. Since he was a child, he was afraid of water to death, but he thought that when I fell into the pond, he didn't hesitate at all!"

Daiyu covered her mouth and said, "Sister-in-law Seven, isn't it rumored that Brother Seven saved you?"

"Don't say that, where is your seventh brother's face? What's more, I did something wrong back then, which almost caused your seventh brother to have an accident..."

Lu groaned, covered Daiyu's mouth and said: "I just want to tell you that you must not delay what you should hold in your hands, and you must not let others take advantage of it. Although our family does not covet the wealth of the palace, it may be worthy of it." There are very few people who can match you, at least among the people I have seen so far, the loyal and obedient Wang Shizi is the best choice."

Daiyu seemed to be thinking, nodded her head and replied seriously: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't let it belong to me, just because I wait a few more days and go to another place, it proves that I have no chance. The worst thing is to stay at home." After spending my whole life, wouldn't my elder brothers and sister-in-law still despise me?"

"You, you, your idea is too correct!"

Lu's smiled and pinched Daiyu's face: "You are the golden boudoir of our family, it's too late to be distressed, how can you despise it?"

……

The first thing Cui Wangfu did when he returned to Zhongshun Wangfu was to get Gao Yongheng to lose his temper.

"What do you say you are busy with every day? The son doesn't care, the daughter doesn't care, and walks around the street with that broken bird every day. How about I take Jiang Erwan'er back to her mother's house and you live with your broken bird?" Got it!"

Gao Yongheng looked at his princess in bewilderment, not knowing what kind of evil fire she was throwing.Cui's relationship with her is very good, it's not what the rumors say, what kind of relationship between husband and wife is not good, the Ninth Prince is not taboo about meat and vegetables, as long as they are good-looking, both men and women will play on the bed...

In front of people, Cui's family will give Gao Yongheng enough face, acting like a prince is right, everything is up to the prince.When the two get along in private, Cui can act coquettishly, playfully, be gentle and comfortable, and can teach her husband by Gao Yongheng's ear.

For example, at this time, Mrs. Cui pinched the flesh on Gao Yongheng's waist and said fiercely: "I will give you three days. If you don't give me an explanation, you will never want to sleep in my bed from now on!"

The wives of these four families have all gone to Lin's residence today, and at the same time, they competed with Cui's family openly and secretly to get Daiyu's idea.To know the news that Prince Zhongshun wanted to marry Lin Daiyu, the lord of Rongjia County, it had informed the family who was qualified to marry Daiyu through special channels a few months ago.

Now that these four families know the plan of Zhongshun Palace, they still dare to compete with Cui Shi, can they not make Cui Shi angry?
Gao Yongheng still doesn't know what happened in Lin's mansion, hey, hey, hey, he broke away from Cui's life-threatening serial pinch, jumped and shouted: "You woman, you beat and scolded as soon as you entered the door, you told me Know exactly what's going on!"
