Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 86 Saving Jia's House Starts with Ethnology

All the clean guests in the house also got up and surrounded them, one word of praise from the left, and one word of flattery from the right, only to hear Jia Ying feeling agitated.

He doesn't like these things the most, he only talks nonsense, but has no real ability to do anything, and he doesn't like their flattery!Don't look at being courteous now, maybe at a critical moment, he might kick you in the back, eat your family's food, take your family's money, turn around and sell you out!
But after all, Jia Zheng was face to face, so he couldn't say anything, he just frowned, expressing his dislike.

There are only two things that a group of clean-ups throw themselves into the door, one is winking, the other is thick-skinned!
Seeing Jia Ying's appearance, they still don't know that this Second Master Jia is chasing someone away!
Just a young age, such a big temper!The second master of Rong Mansion has never treated them like this!
But they only dare to think about it in their hearts, or say a few words in their stomachs.

Even if Jia Ying knew what was going on in their minds, he wouldn't care. He was still thinking about when he could drive these idlers out of the house!

Jia Zheng also saw the displeasure on Jia Ying's face, so he said to the group of disciples: "You all go too!"

After everyone left, Jia Zhengfu asked again, "What does Yinger want here?"

Jia Ying nodded and said: "To be honest with the second master, Ying'er has finally seen the results after ten years of hard work. Although she is happy for a few days, she also has some feelings in her heart, so she came to bother the second master for advice. two."

Jia Zheng is eager to learn, and he also likes to support his younger generation, let alone his own younger generation. He was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Although I am over forty years old, I am only a doctor of the fifth rank. If you talk about the way of being an official, I myself I don’t dare to mistake you, but if it’s about my studies, I’ve experienced more than you, and I’ve read more books, so I might be able to help you, Ying’er, just tell me!”

Jia Ying nodded and said: "It's not about being an official, it's just that I've seen Rong'er Qiang'er and the others lately, drinking and feasting all day long, doing nothing. Although they are rich and carefree, it's not a family tradition after all! Thinking of how Haoshou, the same imperial examination student, spent most of his life in poverty, and failed in a general examination, I can't help but feel a sense of gap in my heart!"

Jia Zheng nodded sympathetically, but did not speak, just quietly listening to Jia Ying continue:
"It's so difficult to raise a son to be on the gold list, but Ying'er thinks of her ancestor Ningrong Ergong, how difficult it was to create two family fortunes handed down from generation to generation. I have gained worry-free wealth, but I have also lost the ambition to forge ahead. But this is not a long-term solution. You must know that there is no permanent wealth in this world, and you should be prepared for danger when you live in peace. A family business."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng also looked solemn, nodded and said: "What Yinger said was right at the time, and because of this, I paid special attention to ethnology. I invited Grand Confucianism to teach them, and I was worried about their money. Not enough, I suffered a lot, and asked the government to allocate a few taels of silver a year to subsidize it. I don't expect their juniors to be as promising as you, Yinger. As long as they behave decently, I will It’s time to explain to the ancestors!”

Only to hear Jia Ying say again: "Second Master is very considerate, but the Grand Confucian who is in charge of ethnology is old after all, and he is the only one running the school, how can he hold Rong'er and the others, let alone There are still so many children of the Qi family, if we don't establish a good rule, we will teach them to mess around in the name of family studies!"

Jia Zheng's heart moved, and he asked, "Can Yinger have a good idea?"

Jia Ying immediately shared his thoughts with Jia Zheng.

After Jia Zheng heard this, the head of the family agreed, saying: "Ying'er's method is very feasible, and tomorrow I will call Zhen'er along with me to settle the matter, but I just need Ying'er to pay more attention to it! "

Jia Ying smiled slightly and said, "It's all for the prosperity of the family, Ying'er will not let the second master down! It's just that Dairu is there."

Jia Ying waved her hand and said, "Oh, Ying'er just do it, I'll talk to my grandfather!"

Only then did Jia Ying nod and feel relieved, Jia Dairu is a partial family, but where does his seniority come from, and he is from the Rongguo lineage, if he doesn't handle it well, he will cause a whole lot of trouble!

Now that the matter was settled, Jia Ying didn't stay any longer, and was about to get up to say goodbye, but before going out, Jia Ying seemed to think of something, so she stopped, turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, Second Master, I don't know if Baoyu can Ever studied in a school? After seeing Baoyu in the same year, some of my classmates are still praising him for his extraordinary talent and aura. He is a good material for studying. The second master might as well send Brother Bao , maybe our family will produce a Jinshi!"

Of course, Jia Zheng was very clear about how much his son was worth. If he said he had aura, it was true that the Son of Heaven was intelligent, but if he said he was studying and becoming an official, he might not be that kind of material!

But parents all over the world are the same, no one doesn't want to hear others praise their child, Jia Zheng said with a smile on his face: "I already let him go to school a few years ago, I don't ask him whether he can be a Jinshi." I just hope that he can learn to look good! Now that you say that, I remember that I haven't been taught his lessons for a while!"

Jia Ying smiled slightly and went out.

After Jia Ying left, all the cleaning guests were not there, and the room became deserted. Jia Zheng, who happened to have nothing to do, thought for a while, and then shouted to the door: "Come on, go and call Baoyu, I want to take a test." Take a look at his homework!"

Then I just heard the boy outside say: "If you go back to the master, the second master Bao is not in the room!"

Jia Zheng flipped through an ancient book and said, "Go to the old lady over there to have a look, and call her over!"

"This" only heard the boy outside hesitating for a while.

Jia Zheng knew that they were hiding something, and they were still covering for Baoyu. His heart was filled with anger, he got up and went to the door, and shouted in a solemn voice, "Why are you so hesitant? Just tell the truth about where Baoyu is!"

The little servant had no choice but to report to Jia Zheng that Baoyu had gone to Huibin Tower in recent days.

After hearing this, Jia Zheng shouted angrily, "Go! Wait at the door. If Baoyu comes back, bring him to me!"

After a pause, he said, "By the way, get the stick and whip ready!"

Why Jia Zheng didn't mention it for the time being, let's say Jia Ying came out of Yimen, and suddenly thought that he hadn't seen Daiyu and the others for a long time because of business, so why not stop by to see them!
After thinking about it, he turned around and went to the Rongqing Hall in the west courtyard.

Just after entering the outer room of Rongqing Hall, Jia Ying realized that today's hall seemed to have lost some of the joy of the past, and walked towards the main hall behind the screen with wonder in her heart.

There are quite a few daughters in Xifu today, even Youshi and Keqing are there.Jia Ying greeted everyone one by one.

"Brother Ying is here!" Sister Feng stood up and greeted her in an exclusive way: "You don't even change into casual clothes when you are on duty. You are wearing such an official robe, but the master who is acting as an official for us all is here!"

Jia Ying laughed and said: "I still haven't had time to go back to the residence, I went to the second master's side first, and then I thought of coming over to pay my respects to the old lady!"

After all, he looked into the hall, but saw that Daiyu and the sisters were not beside Baochai, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing were also sitting on both sides of Aunt Xue, and Jiamu's face was not very happy.

Jia Ying softly asked Sister Feng, "But what happened?"

Sister Feng replied in a low voice: "Just now people from the household department came to the mansion to spread the word that Sister Bao lost the election!"

When Jia Ying heard this, she wasn't surprised, she just felt a little happier. The palace draft only started in March, and now it's over before April?
Participating in the selection of women in the palace is not less than the number of applicants participating in the general examination in Jinke!When did the feudal ruling class become so efficient?
But after thinking about it for a while, I understood that it might be a certain round that was brushed off!

But how could he remember that since Baochai came to Jia's mansion, it seems that she hasn't been out of the mansion yet!Could it be that he didn't pass the first round of screening?

This first round of screening is actually based on the name of the person, and the discussion in it is too big, and I don't know if the Xue family has offended anyone!
It is said that the palace is a shameful place to go, but there are still many people who want to squeeze in as if obsessed, at least Aunt Xue and Baochai have such thoughts.

It stands to reason that his family is an imperial merchant of the household department, and after Ziwei Sheren, there are three other endorsements. Chai's body shape is also somewhat similar to that of Yuan Chun when she entered the palace, obviously conforming to the aesthetic standards of the palace.

Such a young lady from a family background didn't even pass the first round. Jia Ying wouldn't believe it if there was nothing tricky about it.

But Jia Ying felt that there was nothing wrong with losing the election, so why did she enter the palace?Is it possible to compete with Yuan Chun for favor?

It's just that in his capacity, it's not good to say these things, so just listen to them.

It's just that the blow to Baochai was obviously not small.

No matter how people in previous lives commented on Baochai, it is undeniable that compared with many women, she is the most perfect masterpiece of this era, and she has been held in the hands of everyone since she was a child.She doesn't fight or grab, dignified and elegant, that's because she never cares about those things in her heart, only when she is hurt by something she really cares about, she will descend from the sky and become a person who is no different from all living beings, There are joys, anger, sorrows, and sorrows!
In Jia Ying's memory, Baochai in Cao Gong's works only shed tears once or twice, and the most memorable one was when she was annoyed by her unreliable brother.

Such a woman, she shed tears today!
But I heard Mother Jia explain to Aunt Xue who was in the same mood: "You should also look away. Let alone the palace, but it is difficult to meet each other all year round. Instead of sending the girl to such a place, it is better to stay in the house." It's good to be around!"

Speaking of this, all the female family members of the Jia family have a deep understanding, and there is a ready-made one in their family.

Sister Feng also said: "Auntie, what the old lady said is reasonable. Our family is not short of riches and honor. Why do we have to go to the palace city? Only by the talent and appearance of Sister Bao, what kind of family will not follow us in the future?" !"

It's just that I don't know which sentence stimulated Mrs. Wang, and she also started to cry.

Everyone knew her, probably because they thought of the eldest daughter who was still in the palace!

Seeing that Jia Mu's eyes were gradually turning red, Jia Ying saw that something was wrong, so she took a chance and got out!
I thought to myself: "It's dangerous!"

Speaking of the imperial palace, today is the day when Hanlin scholars give lectures to the emperor.

For such a big event, it is natural that Gu Chunting can no longer be alone. Xia Yan, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, needs to go out in person. Occasionally, Xu Zhemu will also come to participate, but this is rare.

On this day, the emperor only summoned Xia Yan, and the place where he lectured was conveniently in the Linjing Hall.

At this moment, Emperor Jiade was asking Xia Yan about the situation of his hand-picked No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua.

I only heard Xia Yan reply: "Return to Your Majesty, the three of you have been in the Hanlin Academy for eight days, and there has never been a lack of urination every day. During the time in the Imperial Academy, the three of you also stayed in the Dianzang Pavilion, rebuilding "Gaozong Memoir, I haven’t heard any complaints, and I haven’t seen any dissatisfaction! It’s just.”

Xia Yan reported every word and every word truthfully. He had never met the three of Jia Ying, but he knew what the three of them said and did. Looking at the situation now, it was obvious that he had the emperor's order.

Seeing that he got stuck in the middle of his speech, Jiade closed the folder in his hand, looked at Xia Yan and asked, "Just what? Don't worry about anything, just report to me truthfully!"

But Xia Yan continued: "It's just that there seems to be some discord between Feng Changxi and Jia Ying!"

Emperor Jiade was slightly amused by Xia Yan's words, looked at Xia Yan, but felt helpless in his heart.

Xia Yan is an old Hanlin. It is said that with his seniority, it should be his turn to be in the cabinet, but it is his weird personality that affects him. He is already an old man over fifty years old, and he still speaks as usual. escape!
"Oh? Why are the two of them at odds?"

Xia Yan rolled his eyes, but still replied: "Return to Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know!"

Emperor Jiade was silent for a moment, and asked: "Who is the Hanlin who is on duty in the Wenhua Palace today?"

Xia Yan replied: "It is Chu Dayou, who reads from the Hanlin Academy, and Li Zhen, who was compiled by the Imperial Academy!"

Jia De nodded, and said again: "Let the two of them not come today, and Feng Changxi and Jia Ying will be on duty instead!"

Xia Yan and Dai Quan at the side all took orders.

Jia Ying had just returned to the East Mansion, and not long after, she saw Xi'er rushing over and said, "Second Master, a master from the Imperial Academy came to the door, and Master Xiao Rong asked Xiao to inform you to come over!"

Jia Ying wondered, "What are the people from the Imperial Academy looking for me at this time? Could it be Fu Sinian?"

After arriving at the main hall and seeing the person coming, Jia Ying knew that something must be going on.

"Master Chu is here, do you have something important to do?"

But I heard Chu Dayou say: "I'm here to inform you that tonight you will be on duty at the Wenhua Palace."

"Join the waiter class?" Jia Ying was puzzled, such a heavy responsibility should not be entrusted to a rookie!

It is the privilege of the Hanlin Academy to be on duty overnight in Wenhua Hall in order to prepare for consultants. Ordinary people, even cabinet bachelors, are not allowed to stay in the Forbidden Palace after nightfall!
But Chu Dayou didn't explain too much to him, only said that it was a temporary replacement, and it was an order from Xia Yan, a Hanlin scholar, Jia Ying didn't dare to hesitate, so she immediately changed into the court clothes and went to the palace gate together with Chu Dayou.
