Chapter 2007 General Environment
At this moment, Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai talking about shop management, and couldn't get a word in, so she immediately got angry.
"Yes, this running water is not rotten. Naturally, the running water from the snow-capped mountains is the best. Some people say that this kind of running water is the best for raising jade." Lin Daiyu said at the side.
"Zhen'er, you are being naughty again." Xue Baochai had reconciled with Lin Daiyu long ago and treated her as her sister.
Although the two of them had a dispute over treasures, she did not want to ruin their relationship.
"Hey, if Sister Lin doesn't know what I'm thinking, then I'll be really sad." Jia Baoyu sighed.
"Just hurt your heart, and of course there will be so many good sisters who will hurt you." Lin Daiyu refused to give up.
Soon Yingchun and other older sisters came to make peace, and Lin Daiyu turned to smile.
Zhao Han thought to himself, this Lin Daiyu is good-looking, but she is really unforgiving when she has a bad temper.
How can it be so simple if you want to be eclectic?
I haven't even said a few words, but in this state...you still want to make me a concubine, you are courting death.
As for Xue Baochai, she has ambitions of becoming a king. A concubine is just a plaything. No matter how much she loves Baoyu, she cannot be a concubine...
The only solution is to become the emperor and Lin Daiyu the queen. , Xue Baochai became a noble concubine.
Because Xue Baochai was brought to Beijing by his family from the beginning to be selected, but for some reasons, probably due to his background as a businessman and his relationship with the four major families, he was disliked and failed.
Some people don’t want Jia Yuanchun to have more helpers.
Thinking of this, Zhao Han found that the day when Jia Yuanchun was named a noble concubine should not be very far away.
The imperial concubine’s wedding ceremony should be within the next year or two.
Jia Baoyu is fifteen years old this year and won the Jinshi. The youngest Jinshi in history was seventeen years old. He won the Jinshi at the age of fifteen, which shows that Xiaohuan's credit for cheating is huge.
We ate and drank at the banquet, played a drinking game, and composed a few crooked poems. In the middle, I wanted Xiao Huan to cheat, but Xiao Huan pretended to be asleep.
Zhao Han had no choice but to say that he had lost his spirituality after learning eight-part essay, and the girls made fun of him.
Never mind it, it is Jia Baoyu who is laughing anyway, what does it have to do with me, Zhao Han?
…………
After the Jinshi wedding banquet, Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu began to get busy.
The busy thing is that there are too many people from every household coming to propose marriage.
The most eager person among them is Mrs. Wang’s brother, the second eldest son of the Wang family, and the eldest of the Wang family is Wang Ziteng.
Mrs. Wang's second brother had always looked down on Jia Baoyu. Mrs. Wang proposed to marry him several times, but she never got permission.
Now he is eager to marry his daughter to Jia Baoyu.
"My brother said in the past that we cannot marry all the daughters of the Wang family to the Jia family." Mrs. Wang refused in a nonchalant manner.
Not to mention how happy she was, this Baoyu really made her look good.
So even a few days ago, Baoyu asked her for a gold bracelet, and she agreed immediately.
In the past, she was most afraid that Baoyu would be deceived by the maids, delay her studies, and become a loser like Jia She.
You looked down on me before, but now I am beyond your reach.
Mrs. Wang’s second brother had nothing to say. He couldn’t fight back when his sister slapped her in the face, so he had to suffer the consequences.
On the other hand, the prince came over to look for her and asked: "Sister, I wonder what Baoyu's plans are for the future. Is he going to stay in Beijing or go abroad?"
"Brother, what's the difference between the two? The difference? "Mrs. Wang naturally prefers to stay in the capital.
The capital is so safe.
When you take a rest, you can go home and reunite.
If you were sent to other places, like Jia Rong of Ningguo Prefecture, after winning the imperial examination, he went to the south to be a county magistrate. At that time, he got malaria and almost died.
It was really scary.
And for some reason, Jia Rong was not promoted even though it was easy for him to be promoted.
You must know that even Lai's grandson who was freed from slavery became a county magistrate, which is still a good place.
The dignified master is not as good as a slave, which is why many people laugh at Ning Mansion.
Mrs. Wang cannot let Baoyu suffer such ridicule. "To stay in Beijing, you need to take the Shujishi exam and continue studying in the Hanlin Academy for three years. After three years, the Shujishi will be assessed. Those with outstanding results will stay in the Hanlin Academy as editors or reviewers, and the rest will join the Sixth Department. , or be sent to the local area as a local official. "
"If you want to be released, you can use your strength now to make him reach the sixth grade and serve in the state capital. There are many of them. The doorway is difficult for outsiders to know..."
Wang Ziteng explained earnestly to his sister.
Even Jia Zheng didn’t know enough about these inside stories.
Because Jia Zheng is not willing to delve into these officialdom matters.
Only Wang Ziteng, who has been promoted all the way, is very proficient in this.
It's just that he couldn't escape the decline of the overall environment, and finally died of a sudden illness. As for how he died, benefactors have different opinions, either because of his superior achievements or because he lost trust.
In short, it is impossible to die simply from illness.
"It's better to stay in Beijing." Mrs. Wang made the decision.
"This is exactly what I want to say here. My sister must not tell anyone else." Wang Ziteng said again.
“Brother, of course, girls won’t talk nonsense.”
“Now the north, south, and west are not in good condition. Only the east is slightly better, but bandits are everywhere. The famine has been going on for years, so it is really not a good thing to go out. This word is only from my mouth and reaches your ears. It must not be spread out. I am also worried that you will not understand the importance and cause Baoyu to suffer, so I dare to say it. In the past, I dare not say a word." Wang Ziteng said seriously.
Mrs. Wang immediately stood up and bowed down: "My elder brother loves Baoyu so much, and my sister is very grateful. I will never dare to spread the word and cause trouble for my brother."
Mrs. Wang is a scheming person, so of course she understands this. Severity.
If it was known that the brother had spread the news, it would be said that the brother was resentful, and the emperor would definitely take away the military power from the brother immediately, and a disaster would be imminent.
The other party saw that Baoyu might become the next generation talker of the four major families, so he said it.
Mrs. Wang left the Wang family with a heavy heart and returned to the Jia family.
Jia Baoyu's joy in becoming a Jinshi was greatly reduced.
Because of the turmoil outside, the benefits of being a Jinshi are reduced by seven points out of ten.
Just like a Jinshi in the last years of the dynasty, how much is it worth?
But as a female prostitute, what solution can she come up with?
As strong as his brother Wang Ziteng, he can only support himself.
After returning home, Jia Mu asked Mrs. Wang about Baoyu's marriage.
"The ancestors will naturally make the decision for Baoyu, but the child is still young, so there is no need to get married too early." Mrs. Wang said reluctantly.
"Daughter-in-law, you do love him. He is already fifteen this year. It doesn't matter if we let him live happily with his sisters for a few more years. It won't be too late to start a family when he is eighteen." Does Jia Mu dote on him after all? He was obsessed with Baoyu and treated him like a child.
Now Baoyu is doing well again and has become a Jinshi.
When Mrs. Wang returned home, she heard that the maid came to report to Wang Xifeng for an audience.
Wang Xifeng was her niece, and she married Jia Lian to control the eldest family.
Now it seems that there is no need for this. All his treasures have become Jinshi, and Jia She is dead, and Jia Lian has also gone to the south to work with Jia Rong.
The long room is no longer a threat.
On the contrary, it is the foreign affairs that my brother said are the big threat.
“I’ve met my aunt.” Wang Xifeng saluted.
"Good boy, get up and come closer to talk." Mrs. Wang pulled Wang Xifeng to the couch.
"Auntie, my man went to the south and didn't come back for two or three years. I asked my aunt to send someone to call him back." Wang Xifeng complained when she came up.
"Good boy, you can just send someone to call. Why do you want me to send someone to call?" Mrs. Wang asked puzzled.
"I sent people to call him several times, but he always said that the Huns were not destroyed, so why should they take care of their family? Isn't it clear that he is at ease outside so that he can be romantic?" Wang Xifeng complained.
She was only half right. Jia Lian felt comfortable outside, but he had no intention of being romantic.
"Well, in that case, I will ask my brother to write a letter, ask him what he is doing, and then go home and have a reunion." Mrs. Wang said.
"Thank you, Auntie."
