Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 20
  A wonderful spring outing, first came the indifferent Wang Ren, and then the fake Li Heng. The day started out good, but later turned out to be bad. Jia Lian is not Wang Ren. He never feels that he is so great or valuable. What is truly valuable is the Jia family with both fathers and mothers. The old aristocratic group uses the Jia family as a link to connect the four kings and eight princes.

This group has little to do with Jia Lian now. Even if there is an opportunity to be a member of this group in the future, Jia Lian will avoid it.

It has been a hundred years since the Great Zhou Dynasty, and these generations of nobles have long been corrupted and exuded a stench. If you associate with these people, the outcome of confiscating your property cannot be changed. What Jia Lian wants is not to preserve the Jia Mansion and restore its so-called old glory, but to protect the Jia Mansion alone.

It’s hard, but isn’t it catching up?
  When the two sides parted, Wang Xifeng looked out of the car window, her eyes full of reluctance. In this marriage, the resistance from Wang Xifeng's side no longer existed, but Wang Ren's attitude was very bad, and he felt that Jia Lian looked down on him.

Some people are like this, you have to support them, otherwise you will look down on them. Obviously, Wang Ren is such a person.

Sure enough, Wang Ren, who returned to the Wang family, kept complaining to his father Wang Zisheng, saying that Jia Lian was not enthusiastic enough for him, and also talked about the third prince. In response, he said in an exaggerated tone: "That's the third prince, how dare Jia Lian" Neglect?"

Wang Ziteng, who was listening in the audience, suddenly said: "He did the right thing. If Jia Lian flatters the third prince, the marriage will be forgotten. Now it seems that although Jia Lian is young, it is still difficult to clear his head. From now on, stay close to him more. Learn from him. Hold on tight."

Wang Ziteng holds a high position and is quite serious when dealing with his juniors at home. Wang Ren is not afraid of others and has no resistance at all against Wang Ziteng. He immediately stood upright and said, "I understand, uncle."

Wang Ziteng just looked at him calmly, and cold sweat began to break out on Wang Ren's forehead. Finally, Wang Ziteng waved gently, and Wang Ren immediately said goodbye and went out, walking as fast as if he was running away.

After Wang Ren went out, Wang Ziteng said to Wang Zisheng: "The second prince and the third prince are all direct descendants. Today, we have the intention to restore Taizu's secret crown prince system. When the princes are involved in the fight for the crown prince, no matter whether they win or lose, in today's world They are all losers there. I am only thirty-six years old now, but since I took the throne, I have had three sons and three daughters."

Wang Zisheng was not a fool. After understanding what his eldest brother meant, he nodded and said: "While serving as an official abroad these years, Wang Ren has not been disciplined enough. I must discipline him more strictly in the future, so as not to become a useless person who is unable to become a civil servant or a prodigal in the military." one."

Thinking of his useless son's behavior just now, Wang Zisheng couldn't help but look melancholy and sighed: "Jia Enhou gave birth to a good son."

After hearing this, Wang Ziteng asked calmly: "Even if Jia Lian is a mediocre person, this marriage must be decided."

Wang Ziteng was indifferent for a moment, yes, the daughter of the Wang family wanted to marry not because she couldn't get married, but because of the benefits. In front of him, Wang Ziteng wanted to take a step further. Without the support of the four princes and eight princes, could he have made it to where he is today?

Prince Teng, who is infinitely famous, seems to be favored by his superiors, and he seems to be a minister promoted by his superiors. But in fact?
  Wang Ziteng personally broke out of the Wang family and existed as a favorite minister. What about the Wang family breaking out of the group of four princes and eight princes?
  What's more, Wang Ziteng has never stepped out of the traditional noble group. He is just a spokesperson who was pushed out.

Therefore, the marriage between Jia and Wang is not only the need of the Jia family, but also the need of the Wang family, especially the need of Wang Ziteng.

In a few years, when the prince becomes a lieutenant, Wang Xifeng will have the support for his domineering style.

While the two brothers were chatting, Wang Xifeng came to find him. When he saw his uncle present, he immediately behaved like a lady. Wang Zisheng stepped forward to say good-bye and bowed politely. Wang Zisheng nodded with satisfaction and asked with a smile: "It seems that Feng'er is very satisfied with your aunt's choice of a good son-in-law."

Wang Xifeng said: "Uncle, father, today Jia Lian asked me to read more books. This matter requires father's approval."

Wang Zisheng really didn't pay attention to the fact that he didn't study much. After hearing this, Wang Ziteng said, "This is easy."

This was regarded as an agreement for Wang Zisheng. In the evening, when Wang Zisheng and his wife were together, they talked about Wang Xifeng's study. This Wang Niu family said that it is virtue for a woman to have no talent. What's the point of studying at your daughter's house? It's a waste of money.

Wang Zisheng understood that it was his wife's fault that Wang Xifeng did not study well, and he immediately said that this was Wang Ziteng's intention.

Now Madam has lost her temper, so just go to school and pay for a female gentleman. It doesn’t matter how many books you read, just be literate and numerate.

After Wang Ziteng made the decision, the marriage began to go through the process. Of course, this had nothing to do with Jia Lian, it was all handled by Mrs. Wang. As Jia She's wife, Mrs. Xing actually had no say in Jia Lian's marriage and could not intervene.

Faced with all this, Jia Lian said that you can do whatever you want and I can study with peace of mind.

Mrs. Wang's arrogance is not only based on the power of her mother's family, but also on Jia Mu's deliberate indulgence.

Jia Lian can only continue to endure. All resistance is based on strength. Resistance is meaningless before he gets fame.

After the vacation, Jia Lian returned to the academy and was immediately called over by Zhang Ting'en. He took out a stack of papers and said to him: "Your craftsmanship has improved. It's not difficult to become a scholar. I'm afraid you won't have any chance of becoming a scholar."

Jia Lian was not surprised by this comment. He had only learned eight-part essay for a few days. Just when I heard the word "making art", I silently complained in my heart. Eight-part essay is just eight-legged essay. I have to use such a word and forcefully give it the name of art.

"Thank you sir for your advice." Jia Lian still responded to the advice very respectfully. These papers were edited very carefully, and the comments were written in small regular script. They were written very clearly and would never be difficult to understand. This shows Zhang Ting’en’s meticulousness.

"Go back." Zhang Ting'en waved his hand and dismissed Jia Lian. When he got lucky, he walked in all directions with his hands behind his back and rushed to the mountain chief's office. After entering the door, Zhang Ting'en couldn't hide his joy and said: "Chief, Jia Lian's The craftsmanship is progressing rapidly, and this year’s county, government, and hospital examinations are very certain, and even the township examination is not without its ability to compete.”

Li Qing didn't feel too excited after hearing this, and just replied lightly: "It's a blessing to be educated by talented people."

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Zhang Ting'en couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Chief, what happened?"

"Han Ziming, the governor of Liangjiang, failed to impeach Tan Ge's old godson. When his son returned home, he raped a well-behaved woman at the Wuhu Post Station. The post Cheng stopped him, and his son allowed his slaves to commit the crime, causing the post Cheng's death. Now he has been captured by the Wuhu County Magistrate. Han Zi has given strict orders."

Zhang Ting'en immediately made a judgment after hearing this: "It seems that Mr. Tan Ge is from Jiangxi and Governor Han is from Zhejiang. In fact, the Gan Party is powerful, and other officials have joined forces to unseat Mr. Tan Ge and attack the Gan Party's influence on the court. Among them, I'm afraid there are also the hands and feet of the founding fathers, the Jia family and the Wang family have their roots in Jinling."

Li Qing looked thoughtful and said: "This matter is too complicated. During the reign of the Supreme Emperor, he spared no effort to suppress the founding heroes. When Mr. Tan Ge was the censor of Zuodu, he was the vanguard in attacking the founding heroes. Today's imperial court, There is the struggle between the north and the south, the struggle between the dominant Gan Party and other forces, and the founders of the country watching with cold eyes. It is not easy today."

Zhang Ting'en couldn't help but sneer after hearing this: "The civil-military war has not yet ended, and party disputes among civil servants have arisen again."

Li Qingdao: "When you were impeached, wasn't it because of party disputes?"

Zhang Tingen was silent after hearing this and had no intention of refuting. Like Li Qing, he was an imperialist. The reason for the failure was that both of them advocated recovering the minister's debt. These arrears were incurred during the reign of the Supreme Emperor. The two of them were the vanguard of the pursuit while the Emperor was not recovering, and naturally they offended everyone.

The reason why these two went out was because of the Emperor's wishes.

The reason is that during the reign of Emperor Taizu, he changed some policies from Taizu's period, and they demanded the restoration of Taizu's old regime.

While the two were talking privately, a fast horse galloped, and the knight on the horse kept shouting: "Hurry up for eight hundred miles!" Pedestrians, carriages and horses along the way all gave way.

Today's class was supposed to be held by Zhang Ting'en. Unexpectedly, it was Old Master Fang who came in. He smiled and said to the students in the class: "Mr. Zhang has something to do. I will attend the morning class."

In the Forbidden City, Emperor Chenghui received an urgent report from the Western Regions and returned to Hebu to rebel. He urgently summoned ministers to discuss countermeasures. No result was reached yet. The next day, another urgent report from the Northeast garrison came to Beijing. This time it was not so serious. Nervous, but still six hundred miles in a hurry.

The empire is very large, and every year there are either internal natural disasters or external invasions.

That afternoon, none of the teachers came. The monitor, Li Dong, was responsible for passing the news and conducting self-study in the afternoon.

The quiet class suddenly became lively. A group of students left their seats and wandered around the classroom restlessly.

Jia Lian sat still. He still had homework assigned by Zhang Tingen and other teachers. Normally, the freshman class has no homework, but Jia Lian is a special case. It has been a month since school started, and the conflict Jia Lian expected did not break out, which made him feel very regretful.

It can be seen that Guo Song is not that impulsive. His friends should have been held down by him.

Jia Lian's popularity has changed greatly because of his class notes.

Shorthand is a science, and all students are top students, but there are always times when they omit notes or make mistakes.

Jia Lian's notes were different. He listened carefully in class and recorded them very carefully, with almost no mistakes or omissions.

Soon the class notes were circulated throughout the class, and even the monitor, Li Dong, borrowed a copy to copy.

There is a college examination this year. The three Class B classes of Qingyun Academy are the main ones preparing for the exam. The three Class C classes are mainly taking part in the county examination and the government examination. Only those who can pass will have the opportunity to participate in the college examination at the end of the year.

Jia Lian has decided to go out and try his skills, and everything must make way for the exam.

Time is too precious for Jia Lian, so the tactics of "Ti Hai" must be used. Under normal circumstances, there are three questions every day, but Jia Lian changed it to five questions. Even if he copied it out, it would take 3,000 words, and it would take four or five hours to copy.

Jia Lian spends at least eight or nine hours working on questions every day, and ten hours is common.

Before school, Jia Lian finished an article and took it to Zhang Tingen's office.

Zhang Ting'en, who got the homework, did not read it immediately. Instead, he put it aside, looked at Jia Lian and said, "My teacher is leaving."

Jia Lian was shocked. He had managed to hold onto this thigh, but now he was going to lose it? Don't look down on yourself by changing your teaching.

"Sir, are you leaving the imperial capital?" Jia Lian asked unconsciously, which seemed a bit rude.

Wang Ting'en didn't take it to heart, smiled and waved his hand: "No, I am still in the capital, but I have another place to go. I will ask someone to give you an address later. If you have anything, you can come to me. I won't let you go as a student. Let go."

Feeling Zhang Ting'en's deep concern, Jia Lian was very moved and couldn't help but whisper: "The student comes from a noble family, so I'm afraid it will drag down my reputation."

"The so-called civil and military struggle is essentially a struggle for interests and rights. For some things, civil servants should take more, while military officials should take less. In the former Ming Dynasty, civil and military affairs were promoted, which led to the corruption of border affairs. Yin's lesson is not far away. The DPRK should take this as a warning."

Jia Lian stood solemnly and faced him, rainbow farts flying in the sky: "The teacher said that a high-level building can provide insight into thousands of miles, and students can be taught."

Zhang Ting'en listened happily, pointed at Jia Lian and said: "Don't do this with me. Go back and study hard. You have a great chance of passing this year's college examination. After I leave, Master Fang will take over." Do your homework, study hard, and don’t slack off.”

"Students will obey the teacher's instructions." Jia Lian stopped patting him. It's okay to flatter him, but you have to have something to scratch the itch.

After leaving the office, Jia Lian's mind turned around. Zhang Ting'en was going to return to the temple. There is no other explanation.

This is a good thing, these thighs are getting thicker and thicker.

Back home, Guixiang came forward with a few maids, chattering beside her as always: "Mrs. Wang sent someone to ask for the second master's horoscope. The master took over the job of hiring a matchmaker and collected it in the palace. Five hundred taels of silver fee."

Hearing this, Jia Lian's blood pressure was a little uncontrollable. He was a dignified first-class general. If he took his annual salary himself, he would not include it in the government. For this matter, he still had to take 500 taels of silver from the government? Mrs. Wang can actually agree, even if people here say that there is no problem, they won’t believe it.

It was obvious that Jia She had chosen his name by chance, and Mrs. Wang pinched her nose and recognized it. After all, she was in charge of the public finances, and her name was not justified.

Otherwise, people say that Rongguo Mansion has no rules, while only the two stone lions at the door of Ningguo Mansion are clean.

Jia Lian's marriage began to go through the process, and time became more pressing. The wedding date is estimated to be two years from now at the earliest. If it's quick, we'll get married within a year. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but smile secretly. I am only fourteen years old this year, which is also my thirteenth year.

She is actually getting married at this age. Let’s not talk about her fighting ability. Life is still in the developmental stage.

No, you have to find a way to delay it, and finally you have to ask for your own opinion, and we'll talk about it then.

Jia Lian, who was not in the mood to think too much, followed his normal rhythm, exercising, reading, writing articles, and paying respects to his elders.

The news from Zhang Tingen's side was quickly confirmed, General Secretary.

This is a position that is handed down from person to person. It seems that there are no clear rights, but in fact, you can have a hand in the affairs of the six departments.

After Jia Lian got the confirmed news, he mentioned when he met Jia She that he was going to see the teacher. Do you have the money to buy gifts?

I don't want Jia She's response to make Jia Lian so angry that she wants to scold her!
