The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Jiang Shangshu happened to notice: "Isn't this Jia Lian the son of Jia Jijiu's in-laws?"

The emperor was expressionless, "Jia Aiqing, what do you think about this?"

Jia Shouzhong played: "Your Majesty, if it is only based on the article, the Jingzhao House did not take it arbitrarily. It is enough to rank people sideways."

But the emperor was not satisfied with his answer.

Everyone is a reader, who doesn't know whether the article is good or bad?

I saw Jia Shouzhong continued: "Just now, what Mr. Jiang said was nothing more than saying that since the minister is an in-law of the Jia family, there must be a secret to reveal the exam questions, and even hire someone to write it for him, and then hand it over to Jia Lian to memorize."

The more he spoke, the more impassioned he became, "Your Majesty, this minister hates deceiving and tricking ghosts the most in his life, if Jia Lian really asks me for Zhongju, not only will there be no exam questions, but only a beating, he will be kicked out of my house, and he will be cut off from his Jia Jiaen from now on. ."

The emperor was noncommittal, just nodded slightly.

The governor of Jingzhao is the main person responsible for this.

"Your Majesty, I think that there is nothing wrong with the judges of Jingzhao Township Examination in taking justice. Just because of Jia Lian's background and past behavior, we can't make assumptions, collude privately, and even attack the official office. If we don't punish them, I'm afraid they will not follow suit tidy."

Jiang Shangshu shook his head and said, "No, no. I think there must be a reason for Jia Lian's sudden intelligence. It is better to summon Jia Lian to Dali Temple to ask him to understand. If it is true as Master Zhang said, the troublemakers will naturally disperse. ."

Someone immediately echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, this matter is quite strange, and it should be thoroughly investigated."

These two words were like a signal, and they began to speak out one after another. The focus gradually shifted from the township exam to Jia Lian, and then from Jia Lian to the Jia family in the Rongguo Mansion, and then spread.

If there are accusations, there must be maintenance.

The two groups of people came and went, and quickly deviated from the theme of this imperial meeting.

At this time, King Zhongshun finally spoke, "Your Majesty, this minister thinks that the trouble in this township examination is not only the responsibility of which party is responsible. In Jingzhao Mansion, the school administration was lax, rumors spread after the announcement, and they failed to appease them in time. As for causing disaster. And those students, who were studying hard in the cold window, suddenly heard that they were among the illiterate and incompetent, and asked Xuezheng for a statement. Their feelings were excusable and their actions were forgiven. As for the involved Jia Lian, this minister has heard , but I still don't believe that he can write such articles. Or he suddenly becomes smart."

It made half of the people in the hall burst into laughter.

"It's so ridiculous!"

"How to be convincing?"

Some even said, "Since today is the Jia chain, will there be a cow chain, a horse chain, or a king chain tomorrow?"

"It's just maddening!"

There is a great momentum of throwing Jia Lian into prison, and will not give up until the goal is achieved.

And King Beijing, who had been standing at the head of the class, should have stood up to refute, but he didn't say a word.

The emperor looked at them with interest.

At this time, the little eunuch outside the hall passed in a document.

The emperor looked at it and couldn't help laughing.

He first handed the book to King Beijing.

King Beijing's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have long known that Jia Lian has hills and valleys on his chest, and those who are clear are clear, so there is no need to argue."

what's the problem?

It turns out that this excerpt describes the scene where Jia Lian competes with those talents.

That King Zhongshun took the book, unbelievable.Are those rubbish returned?

Did the original plan fail?

The emperor still held a book in his hand, which reported that the profit balance of the Glass Manufacturing Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was only a few thousand taels, but it also proved that what Jia Lian said was true.

Therefore, the emperor directly called Dai Quan to announce the decree, and ordered Jia Lian to be the chief sixth-grade chief of the Glass Manufacturing Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

A large-scale township examination fraud case that could almost cause a major disaster in the party, came to an abrupt end in such an anticlimactic way.

And Jia Lian's reputation suddenly became loud in Shenjing, and he was awarded an official by the emperor. What kind of glory is this?

This is the only treatment for a serious jinshi!

.

Chapter [*] Zheng Liupin is just a bait The old ladies used to dislike Jia Lian as an official with no quality. Now that the emperor has given a Zheng Liupin, he is naturally just a petty official, but this is what their mother said. Both are hard to say.

Jia Zheng has only been in charge for half his life now. He hasn't moved a place for ten or twenty years, so he is very stable.

Therefore, when the emperor's will reaches the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng is as embarrassed as he is.

Even the many words of exhortation that were originally prepared to teach him to push him to the position Anxin will try next year, but he couldn't say it.

Just ask a few words of peace of mind for state affairs, and the loyal and diligent royal family will be fine.

Jia Lian's sixth-rank officials are inconspicuous in Shenjing, for example, there are fifth-rank officials in the concierge of Beijing King!

He just came out of the palace just now, with a cloudy look on his face.

King Beijing was younger than Jia Lian, and he was described as beautiful and modest.

When Jia Lian visited the water king, he was talking with a group of famous people from the sea, and all kinds of anecdotes and tastes were full of them.

After a while, Jia Lian couldn't sit still.

These people are purely talkative, and they seem to be all well-educated. In fact, they have nothing to do with classic articles, and they have nothing to do with state affairs.

Jia Lian only complained in his heart, no wonder the emperor let Shui Wangye so blatantly recruit celebrities, and he also saw through his style, and Le Bo has a good reputation for generosity.

Shuishun always kept a kind and polite smile to Jia Lian.

The words were eager, but in fact, from Jia Lian entering the door to leaving, he always sat high and did not move.

He has reason to be dissatisfied with Jia Lian.

With one million taels of silver, regardless of family ties or greetings, they took refuge with the emperor and changed to a sixth-rank petty official. His vision was extremely short-sighted, and it even destroyed their plan of founding the country. They agreed to advance and retreat together. made a hole.

This is tantamount to betrayal!

Beginning with King Beijing, Jia Lian's situation and communication gradually became purer. Except for Jia Zhen from Ningfu, and Feng Ziying's gang who were still the same, everyone else was unavoidable.

I don't know if it was the emperor's intention or not, he sent the Office of the Superintendent of the Construction Scholar of the Internal Affairs Office to build all the utensils in the palace.

This guy was originally the personal of King Zhongshun, and he was in trouble to find Jia Lian every three days. No, it was the end of the year. Just because the color on one screen was not suitable, he asked the entire set of twenty-four screens to be redone.

In addition to these thankless things, Jia Lian also lived a stable life.

For the first time, Sister Feng finally became pregnant.

But she is a leisurely person, she is still busy, and her temper is impatient. People make mistakes and sometimes do it herself.

Jia Lian educated her several times, but he did not repent at all, but Jia Lian pushed the deacon and guarded her at home for three days not to let her go out. He threatened her with self-willedness and then asked the old lady not to let her be the housekeeper. Better.

Now also pregnant.With a big belly, he asked for credit in front of Jia Lian, "Brother Lian, have you named your brother? And his clothes, shoes and socks should also be prepared."

When she saw Jia Lian holding a pen and an abacus, she lowered her head to write and draw, and she ignored him. She angrily stepped forward and took away his pen. She said coquettishly, "I'm talking to you! What are you doing?"

Jia Liancai helped her sit on the edge of the couch, "It's the end of the year, and the manufacturing office has set up branches in the surrounding provinces and even Jiangnan in the past few months. In the end, it is necessary to have a plan to make a difference to the emperor."

Sister Feng asked curiously, "Then how many do you count?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I haven't finished the calculation yet. I guess there are more than [*] taels!"

Sister Feng was displeased and spat: "Originally, these are our own."

"Okay!" Jia Lian interrupted her, "We ourselves have seventy-eight thousand taels. We are content! It's so good now, others think that we gave the emperor a lot of money, and we only have soup and water. Who would have guessed that there would be more? So much? If I leak this letter to Brother Zhen and Feng Ziying, will I feel remorse?"

Stars appeared in Sister Feng's eyes, "It's only been a few months? Our body is almost half of the income of the Rong Mansion."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "What did I say? I'll give you a Rong Mansion in one year. You have to learn to raise your eyes, don't be petty, care about everything, and let the old lady and the wife toss about the affairs in the mansion. , you don't get involved."

Sister Feng spat: "I can hear the cocoon in my ears. You have the ability, the vision is high, and you don't care about this family business, but I can't bear it. I will leave it to my son's head office, right?"

Seeing that Jia Lian was still talking, he interrupted: "Okay, let's not talk about this. The New Year is coming. You usually go around drinking and feasting at this time, why are you staying at home now?" Sister Feng felt very abnormal.

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Xungui thinks that I am a scholar, I feel ashamed in front of me, and dare not climb high, and in the same year of the township examination, even Xie Yuan is still studying hard at home, preparing for the examination next year, and also received a few There was an invitation for a letter, but the other party made it clear that he was only polite and did not intend to let me go. Who told me that I am the head of the sixth grade now! A half step ahead is a genius, and a step ahead is an enemy. So they are unfortunate met me."

Sister Feng said worriedly: "So, aren't you a human being inside and out?"

Jia Lian listened to her bulging belly before saying, "Those who are not hated by others are mediocre. Don't care."

He said it easily, but in fact he knew that he was now walking on a dangerous path that the emperor chose for him, being a lonely minister.

These two words make it clear at first glance that King Beijing's noble party has opinions on Jia Lian, and King Zhongshun's royalists do not regard him as their own, and even his contemporaries, because of their disparity in status, only regard him as an outlier. More jealous, less willing to be close.

Jia Lian also vaguely guessed the emperor's intention for doing this. Only in this way can he use himself with confidence.

This is both a crisis and an opportunity.

His own life and death were entirely in the mind of the emperor.

No one can save themselves.

The next day is the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. The two houses are full of colors and characters, and they line up to enter the ancestral hall to worship.

Just because Jia She was bedridden, Jia Lian had to act on his behalf.

So Jia Jing presided over the sacrifice, Jia chain escorted the sacrifice, Jia Zhen offered the jue, Jia Cong offered silk, Baoyu held incense, Jia Chang and Jia Ling displayed the worship blanket, guarded the burning pond, Tsing Yi played music, offered three jue, worshipped Xingbi, burned the silk and offered a libation , the ceremony is over, the music is stopped, and the exit.

Then, everyone went back to the Rong Mansion and saluted the old lady.

When the old lady went to the room, the floor was already covered with red felt, and there was a large brazier with gilt and enamel along the edge of the elephant-trunk three-legged loach. The old lady sat on the front of the kang, covered with new scarlet felt, and set a backrest with a big red embroidered cloud dragon holding her birthday. Pillow.There are six carved lacquer chairs on both sides of the basement. They are all colored squirrel chairs with small mattresses. Under each chair is a large copper-footed stove. One side is for Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang to sit, and the other is for Sister Sanchun.Sister Feng, Li Wanyou and the others were only waiting on the ground floor.

.

Chapter [*] The joke about shoes When Jia Lian came in and kowtowed, the old lady was joking with her daughters-in-law.

"Forget it!" The old lady was in good spirits.

Jia Lian looked up and saw Bao Yu greasy beside the old lady, smiling at him.

He won't take advantage of himself, will he?

"Girl Feng, sit by your wife's side!" The old lady smiled and said, "You also have a day off today."

You supported Sister Feng and joked, "Since that's the case, you can sit at ease. Let me and grandma serve you?"

Li Wan also smiled and said: "It's difficult for you to honor the old lady, the eldest wife, the wife and us. We have nothing to reward you, so let's toast you!"

With that said, she took a glass of wine from the little girl and handed it to Sister Feng.

Sister Feng sat on the chair and didn't answer, "Sister-in-law, I don't dare to be your toast."

You Shi smiled and said, "You're still holding the shelf, right?" She also poured a glass of wine, "I'm with the big grandma, and you don't give face?"
