Chapter 13 Red Mansion 11
Mother Liu was coaxed to smile by Liu Heng's words, and said: "You still have to marry someone you like. You kid, don't be shy, tell me what you want. Son’s wife.”
Liu Heng said: "As long as you are virtuous, there are no other requirements."
Liu Mu said: "There are no requirements for appearance?"
Liu Heng: "I am not the second brother. I just want to marry a stunning woman.”
Liu's mother couldn't help but snorted: "Compared to Bi, your brother is really not at all worried. Is it because of his role that he doesn't even care about the woman's family background? When he grows up, I will discipline him severely. Absolutely Don't let him enter those dirty places."
Father Liu nodded in agreement.
The two of them were really afraid that Liu Xianglian would marry a brothel oiran and go home for the sake of beauty.
Liu Heng asked: "Where is the second brother? Why didn't you see him?"
Liu Mu: "I went to Rongguo Mansion, and I will stay there tonight."
>
Liu Heng said oh, Jia Lian should have invited him there.
Liu Hiiragi: "Mom, please don't rush to see your daughter-in-law now. Let's wait until my son passes the Jinshi examination. At that time, the scope of what he wants to see will be wider."
etc. If he becomes a Jinshi, he can marry a wife with a higher status.
Liu's father and Liu's mother also thought about this, so they postponed the matter of showing Liu Heng Xiang until Liu Heng passed the Jinshi examination.
The joint examination was held three years later, when Liu Hiiragi was not yet twenty.
Mother Liu's actions were like a thunderbolt. The next day, Mother Liu sent out all the maids around her who were thinking about something.
Those with family members asked their families to take them home, while those without family members were directly pointed out to the servants in the mansion, just waiting to be married.
Mother Liu did not treat them badly and gave each of them twenty taels of silver as dowry silver.
The maids cried and cried but could not move Mrs. Liu, so they had to leave reluctantly.
This action scared the other maids in the mansion.
The maids knew that neither Liu's mother nor Liu Ping would accept maids as their wives, so they gave up their thoughts and did not dare to get close to Liu Ping anymore.
The life here in the Liu family is very peaceful, but the life in the Rongguo Mansion is very lively.
There was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate him, and the four princes, eight princes, and twelve princes all expressed their intention to marry Jia Hu.
Jia Hu couldn't stand being looked at like a monkey, so she simply ran to Liu's house to hide for a while.
Liu Heng laughed at him: "Aren't you afraid that your parents will take advantage of your absence to arrange a marriage for you that you don't like."
Jia Hu shook his head: "My grandfather will not easily arrange a marriage for me. What my grandfather means is that the four princes, eight princes and twelve princes have been feared by the emperor and can no longer marry."
Liu Heng said: "Your grandfather "I can see clearly."
Jia Hu said worriedly: "My grandfather's health is getting worse. I'm worried that he won't survive more than two years."
Liu Heng patted Jia Hu. shoulder to show comfort, but said nothing.
Jia Daishan has lived longer than in the original text.
Jia Daishan was already satisfied to see his eldest grandson, whom he loved and valued most, obtain fame.
Liu Tong and Jia Hu stayed in the capital for half a year, and then set off south again to take part in the provincial examination.
The two are still on the list.
Jia Hu once again ranked first in the exam and became Xie Yuan.
Although Liu Hiiragi did not obtain Jieyuan, he was still in the top ten.
The news spread back to the capital, and Rongguo Mansion was once again crowded with guests.
Jia Daishan asked Jia Zheng and Jia She to receive the guests. He was in poor health and needed to recuperate and could not be disturbed.
Without him, the patriarch, coming forward, even those who wanted to marry their granddaughter or daughter to Jia Hu would not be able to tell them.
After all, Jia She, a biological father, cannot be the master of his son.
Jia Shi, the grandmother, naturally does not have much say.
At this time, the emperor invited Jia Daishan to the palace to talk with him. Jia Daishan entered the palace and found that the fourth prince was still accompanying the emperor.
Since the prince's rebellion, the emperor's body and spirit have become worse day by day.
Jia Daishan had not entered the palace for a long time. When he saw the emperor again this time, he found that he was much older.
The emperor kept the fourth prince by his side. Was he teaching the fourth prince as his successor?
Jia Daishan glanced sideways at the fourth prince, then withdrew his gaze, sat opposite the emperor, and the two chatted about the past.
Both of them are old, and when they talk about the past, they all miss each other.
While chatting, the emperor mentioned Jia Hu.
“I heard that your eldest grandson won four yuan in a row?”
Jia Daishan replied cautiously: “Yes.”
The emperor: "Very good. I hope he can win two more yuan and give me a good omen of passing six yuan."
Jia Daishan said hurriedly: "This child still has shortcomings. I'm afraid he won't be able to meet your majesty's standards." Expectation."
The emperor smiled and said: "I said he can achieve it."
Jia Daishan stopped talking. The emperor said so, Jia Hu will definitely win the exam. Yuan.
Even if Jia Hu’s test papers were deficient, the examiners would still let him become Huiyuan.
The emperor spoke again: "Daishan, your eldest grandson hasn't been engaged yet?"
"Yes." Jia Daishan replied.
The Emperor: "In this case, I will act as a matchmaker for him and book him a wife."
Jia Daishan said hurriedly: "Your Majesty has the final say."
The Emperor smiled Pointing to the fourth prince on the side, he said: "The legitimate daughter of the fourth family is fourteen this year and is about the same age as your eldest grandson. So she is promised to be your grandson's wife. How about that?"
What can Jia Daishan do?
Of course he agreed "very happily".
This is the emperor’s favor.
And...
Jia Daishan suppressed his thoughts.
The fourth prince should be the next emperor. If his grandson marries his daughter, he will be the new emperor's son-in-law. Rong Guofu will be regarded as the new emperor's son.
When the royal family wants to clean up the four kings and eight princes in the future, Rongguo Mansion should be able to escape.
Thinking of this, Jia Daishan’s gratitude became much more sincere.
The fourth prince is quite satisfied with this finger marriage.
Not to mention Jia Daishan’s connections in the military, the fourth prince also admired Jia Hu.
Having learned of Jia Hu's existence from the emperor's conversation with Jia Daishan, the fourth prince began to pay attention to Jia Hu.
He found that Jia Hu was a really outstanding kid. He could be said to be versatile in both civil and military affairs and had a good personality, steady and resourceful. Serving in the army is a general's talent; serving in literature is a prime minister's reserve service.
The fourth prince had the idea of making Jia Hu his son-in-law at that time, and revealed the news to his princess.
The fourth princess started from the backyard to find out information about Jia Hu. The result made the fourth princess very satisfied and praised her prince for his good vision.
This time the news of Jia Hu’s victory in the rural examination spread back to the capital. The fourth princess couldn’t sit still. She wanted to finalize the marriage between her daughter and Jia Hu as soon as possible, but she was afraid that it would be too late for Jia Hu. It was snatched away by other people.
Nowadays, Jia Hu is a popular figure in the aristocratic circle. Many people want such a young talent with a bright future as their son-in-law.
The four princes and eight princes have a deep connection. Relying on this relationship, they have a greater chance of getting married to the Jia family.
The fourth princess then went to find the fourth prince.
