The Red Mansions

Chapter 287
Come down from the attic.

Satisfied, Xue Baochai endured for several months, and finally felt relieved.

No matter how dignified and graceful she looks, she is still human, so she will naturally have ideas.

Jia Yun was very considerate of her today, which made her feel unparalleled happiness.

"The list will be released tomorrow! The Jia family's affairs should come to an end soon, right?"

Jia Yun took her little hand, nodded and said:

"It should be soon, this matter will definitely not be delayed."

"My husband, have you heard anything?" Xue Baochai asked curiously.

Jia Yun shook her head and said, "The news has been blocked by the imperial court."

If he really wants to inquire about this matter, he can also inquire about it.

But he didn't want to get too involved.

It was already out of line to deal with the servants of Jia's mansion before.

If you mix it up with other things, I'm afraid you will get into trouble.

This is of no benefit to him.

"Earlier, Baochan came to send word that Xia Jingui was going to send her family's money over, will he accept it?"

Jia Yun nodded and said, "The ones I want to accept are her own escape route."

"Although I won't take her home, I still have to give her the necessary support."

Xue Baochai sighed, and said helplessly, "You! Empty Jia's mansion!"

Now that she has a son and a daughter, her position is stable, and she is not in a hurry.

My husband doesn't have many hobbies, but he likes beautiful women, so she can't stop her too much.

It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.

If Jia Yun really only pampered her alone, she wouldn't dare, for fear that others would gossip about her.

In the final analysis, she married Jia Yun, which was regarded as high-flying.

Jia Yun helped her Xue family so much.

The only thing she can repay is to help Jia Yun take care of the house so that he has no worries.

"The other day, Tan girl said that in the Grand View Garden of Rongguo Mansion, there lived a nun who practiced the law. I heard that she was pretty."

Jia Yun glanced at her a few times, and said angrily:

"Why are you helping me find women now?"

"Hehe, my husband probably forgot." Xue Baochai said with a smile.

"Xiang'er and the others, I helped you find them!"

Jia Yun froze for a moment, nodded and smiled, "It's true, she is the only one in the family who is the most outstanding."

"There is one more thing I forgot to tell my husband." Xue Baochai stopped.

"What's the matter?" Jia Yun asked suspiciously.

Xue Baochai hesitated and said:

"Xiang'er and the others each know a girl who is not inferior to them in beauty."

"I've already asked people to get in touch with this matter, and it will probably cost a lot of money."

Jia Yun patted her on the shoulder, shook her head and sighed:
"You! There are so many girls in this world?"

"There are so many good-looking ones, how can I bring them all home?"

Xue Baochai pursed her lips, threw herself into Jia Yun's arms, and whispered:
"Only these four, from now on I won't help you find them anymore."

February 28.

The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

"Good news for the exam, congratulations to the No.3 in the exam for Mr. Jia Yunjia High School in Daxing County, Shuntian Prefecture."

"Excellence report..."

"Excellence report..."

The loud and clear sound of announcing the good news came from outside the door.

The family guarding the courtyard immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then beamed with joy.

The next moment, the sound of firecrackers crackled.

The smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air.

"Reward!" Jia Yun came to the door, received the good news, and shouted loudly.

Afterwards, the servant next to him sprinkled out the copper coins in the basket.

The surrounding crowd rushed to grab it, and at the same time, they were chanting good words of auspicious blessings!

"Congratulations to Master Jia, congratulations to Master Jia!"

"I wish Mr. Jia a prosperous official career and a bright future!"

"I wish Master Jia good luck and everything goes well!"

"..."

Jia Yun laughed unhappily, turned and went back to the courtyard.

In the anticipation of Xue Baochai and others, they took out the good news and shook it, and said with a smile:
"Being a husband is considered a smooth pass!"

Xue Baochai said happily: "Reward! Everyone will be rewarded for a month!"

The maids and women were overjoyed and kowtowed to thank each other.

After a while, the outside door announced that all the clan elders in the clan had come to congratulate them.

Bu Shi, Xue Baochai and other female relatives went to the back house, and Jia Yun went out to meet them.

"Don't be in a hurry to celebrate, it won't be too late to do it after you finish the palace exam!"

The elders of Jia Yun's clan said that it would be too frivolous to have a banquet right now.

Jia Dailing murmured: "After the palace examination is over, we must open the ancestral hall and change the family tree!"

"Open, this must be opened!"

"Yes! Our Sanfang is finally going to be a Jinshi, and we want to write a special letter!"

"Yes, the whole clan should pay attention to this matter."

"..."

Several clan elders spoke one after another, wanting to write Jia Yun's deeds into the genealogy and pass it on.

"Brother Yun, what do you think?" Jia Dailing asked for Jia Yun's opinion.

Jia Yun nodded and said: "Since all the clan elders have made such a decision, the younger generation has nothing to do with it."

"However, the matter of the Jia family has not yet been settled."

"The younger generation thought that the opening of the ancestral hall and the revision of the genealogy could be done during the Chinese New Year."

"At this moment, for our Jia family, we should keep a low profile and be less ostentatious."

Jia Dailing nodded and said, "Brother Yun is right."

"The old man thought it would be most appropriate to put it in the Chinese New Year."

When Jia Yun spoke about this matter, the clan elders would naturally give him face, so he didn't say any more.

Send away the clan elders.

Jia Yun changed her clothes, took the greeting card, and went to visit the "Zuo Shi" and "Fang Shi".

Under normal circumstances, candidates only respect the two chief examiners and the same examiner who directly admitted him as the chief examiner.

The main examiner and the same examiner are also different in terms of appellation.

The chief examiner is called "the teacher".

The same examiner is called "room teacher".

The admitted candidates call themselves "students".

Ordinarily should be to visit tomorrow.

But Jia Yun has been an official before.

In the past this time, it was more about the relationship between colleagues.

Jia Yun used to be a censor, a Qingliu official.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites are also Qingliu officials, so they are easy to talk about.

Jia Yun has no faction in the court for the time being.

If it is serious, he can barely be regarded as the New Emperor faction, but he is only on the periphery.

There is no conflict with other people, so I visited them one by one, and they all had a good talk.

In addition to visiting these officials, Jia Yun also went out of the city to kneel down and pay homage to Zhuo Zhenyuan.

After all, this is his true mentor.

"Why did you come to the academy?"

In a small courtyard at the foot of the academy mountain, Jia Yun asked curiously with her arms around Li Wan.

Li Wan covered his mouth with a smile, and replied: "Come and see Lan Er, I haven't seen him for quite a while."

"How is he studying?" Jia Yun asked.

Li Wan pondered and said: "Master said he studied well. I personally tested and taught him, but he was not bad."

"But I didn't dare to tell Lan'er this, for fear that he would be proud."

"Hehe, you should tell him that. Appropriate encouragement is necessary." Jia Yun laughed.

Li Wan hugged his waist and whispered, "I don't want to tell you this right now..."

"Okay! Anyway, I've finished my business today, so I'll accompany you crazy for a while!"
