The Red Chamber: Daiyu's eldest sister is not easy to be

Although the emperor didn't like her talking loudly, he still asked her: "What do you want?"

Jiusi didn't go around with him, and directly stated his request: "In addition, there is an imperial decree on the freedom of marriage. As long as the other party is unwilling, no one, including you, the emperor, can force it."

After hearing this, the emperor looked at her in surprise: "The other party?
You didn't ask for this for yourself. "

Jiusi didn't hide it from him, and told Daiyu what he had promised: "No one dares to marry a woman like a minister's daughter without the imperial decree, so there is no need to do anything extra.

The court lady is begging for my younger sister Daiyu. I promised her that as long as she is not willing, she can never marry for the rest of her life, and the court lady is also willing to support her for the rest of her life.

But things have changed now. If the courtier leaves the Lin family and wants to protect her in the future, it will be unfair. Therefore, I want to ask her for such an imperial decree before leaving, and ask the sage to grant it. "

No matter what the relationship between her and Daiyu will be in the future, since she has made a promise, she will definitely keep her word, so she has a clear conscience.

The emperor didn't expect such a thing to come out, and after thinking for a while, he finally agreed to her request: "Okay, I have agreed to this matter, and what I said before will count. As long as you concentrate on doing things for me, I will not I have treated you badly."

Seeing this, Jiu Si didn't say anything to promise, but respectfully bowed to him to show his sincerity.

Afterwards, the two discussed the walking route and other arrangements before Jiusi was released from the palace.

Sitting in the carriage going back, Jiusi kept thinking about what to do next.

First of all, the children of the Lin family who took the scientific examination. The imperial examination is generally held every three years. Every autumn, the prefectures first conduct the examination and selection. After passing the examination, the Ministry of Rites conducts the examination in the spring of the following year.

The time for the township and association exams is mostly set on the ninth, twelfth, and fifteenth day of the month, and the exam time is usually about three days, and two days will be vacated during the period for people to rest.

This year's situation is quite special, because there is a lack of many officials in the court, the emperor added another exam, the time is only half a month later, Jiusi will definitely not be in Beijing by then, so all arrangements must be made in advance.

In addition, she also wanted to insert some of her own people into Jiangnan. Those who lived in the Lin family were the children of the Lin family. Once she left the Lin family, I'm afraid they would no longer listen to her like that. She had to stay. a follower.

On the contrary, it is the Jiangnan side, which is some distance away from the capital, and it is a rich land with many products. If you can really arrange your own people there, the advantages will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

Moreover, after she left the Lin family, she still wanted to go to Jiangnan to stay for a while. If she had her own people there, many things would be more convenient.

Thinking about it, she asked about the situation of the imperial examination in Jiangnan in February: "Do you know the specific situation of the scientific examination in Jiangnan? If we want to arrange people to enter, can we still arrange to enter now?"

Because someone in the family wanted to take a scientific examination, Er Yue had already inquired about these things clearly, and when she saw her asking, she opened her eyes and came.

She took out a brochure from nowhere, opened it and handed it to her, and said, "As far as the girl is concerned, most of the rural examinations in the south of the Yangtze River are held in autumn, and people call it Qiuwei, but it is different from other departments. The exam time is slightly different, if we want to arrange people to go in now, it is still too late.

However, they have three sessions in each room, and each session lasts three days and nights. Since there are two changes in the middle, the whole test actually takes nine days and seven nights.

Girl, if you want to arrange people, we have to pick some people with good physical fitness first, otherwise those frail scholars will not be able to hold on.

Secondly, you have to choose those who are particularly talented in literature. The style of literature in the south of the Yangtze River is at its peak, and ordinary people can't pass them.

I wrote down the details in this booklet, girl, take a look..."

Jiusi took the brochure and flipped through it, then closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before saying, "You can just look at the candidate, I can trust your discernment, since there is still time, Then go arrange it!
By the way, when selecting a person, remember that it must be our own talent, not anyone related to the Lin family. "

Er Yue knew about her arrangements, and also knew that she wanted to leave the Lin family, so she didn't find it strange to hear her say that, and nodded in response: "Yes, this servant knows, and I will go to do it when I go back."

After the matter was settled, she began to think about other things.

Once the manpower has been arranged, the next step is to deal with one's own private property.

You must know that after she came to Beijing, she not only helped the Lin family buy property, but also used some things in the space to buy a lot of private property for herself.

Otherwise, no matter how expensive it is for those people to build gardens, it is impossible for her to earn so much money in a short period of time, but the shop is enough.

Now that he is about to leave here, these private properties must be dealt with as soon as possible, so as not to be a side issue.

There is also the matter of moving the Liu family's grave, which has to be done before she leaves the Lin family. If the members of the Lin family in Gusu are not reconciled and want to take the opportunity to make trouble, it will be troublesome.

By the way, there is also that monk with a scarlet head who hasn't appeared all this time, and he has to be found and dealt with quickly. That guy is with Jing Huan and the others, and she doesn't feel at ease if he doesn't kill him.

Seeing that she closed her eyes and stopped talking, Er Yue didn't bother her. She put the ice basin aside and sat there quietly to fan the wind for her.

The gusts of cool wind made Jiu Si's mood, which was a little depressed due to the heat, much better.

Back at Lin's house, she had just sat down to drink some water, and before she had time to inquire about the situation at home in January, a maid came to report: "Miss, Second Mistress Lian of Jia's family is here, and she wants to see you for something."

Now, Jiusi was completely speechless, she didn't even bother to speak again, she winked at January, signaled her to deal with it, and then went back to the room to wash up.

The weather was already hot, and the clothes he was wearing were all tightly wrapped, and it was really annoying to sweat when he moved a little.

Seeing her attitude in January, I knew that my girl was impatient, and I also felt a little disgusted with Wang Xifeng, who came to disturb her girl's purity three times and four times.

But I still had to do some superficial work, so I asked the maid: "Did the Jia family send someone to deliver a post before Second Mistress Lian came?"

The servant girl thought about it for a while, and then replied with certainty: "I have never handed over any invitations. In the past two days, the mansion has received a total of twenty invitations, all of which are for girls to go to the banquet. There has never been any invitation to visit."

Although January knew the Jia family's style, it could be seen that after the other party didn't send the post this time, his tone suddenly became cold: "If that's the case, then just refuse, just say that the girl has something to go out, please come down." come again.

By the way, remember to tell Second Grandma Lian that our girl has something to do, if she comes to find our girl, it is better to send a post in advance, so as not to run out of time again and again. "
