The Promotion of Yuanchun in the Red Chamber

In fact, Yuan Chun can guess without the need for his mother to speak out: I don't know if some dignitary or a clan member said that Brother Zhu is going to be difficult this time, so his mother will be convinced and even come here to plan an escape route for his son. ...

No matter how proud Ningrong and Rongfu are of the glory they once had, they are still nobles, and they are still not very popular among the nobles. Not to mention real power, morality... not to mention, it is difficult to make people want to respect him from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, the Jia family has almost no contact with the real scholarly family. Even if Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan brothers are still alive, the two houses are not very good with the civil servant Qingliu.Of course, if civil servants and military officers really want to join hands in an alliance, the one who can't sit still must be the Holy One.

In short, it is not necessarily easier for the children of the Jia family to study in the imperial examination than those of poor families. Under the premise that they may not be able to invite genuine Confucianism as teachers, Jia Jing has all won Jinshi, which shows his extraordinary talent.

At that time, he had to resign and let his son take over the title. Not only Jia Jing's own mistakes were involved, but also his colleagues who were officials in the imperial examination were secretly excluded.

What Jia Zhu has to face now will only be more difficult than that of Jia Jing back then: when Jia Jing participated in the Grand Competition, his father was still alive, so he could somewhat protect his son.

Yuan Chun doesn't believe that his parents really can't figure it out, but they probably don't take it to heart. After all, it's not that they don't have jobs to do, and they can donate officials if they don't succeed. portion.

Having said that, if it was Yuan Chun in her previous life, she would never think too much between civil and military, honorable and clean, aristocratic and poor families - this is thanks to Zhao Zhizhen who often talks to her when he has nothing to do. pattern of the capital city.

Of course, Zhao Zhizhen is not completely selfless: Yuan Chun is indeed "a child who can be taught", and he can relax a lot if he has a good wife to help him.It's just that what Zhao Zhizhen taught Yuan Chun, Yuan Chun couldn't tell his mother directly. If he talked too much, he might even complain.

In fact, as long as you don't miss your sister-in-law Li Wan's expression, you can tell that she... not only disapproves, but even disapproves.

Sister-in-law Li Wan's biological father is the Imperial College Jijiu!The elder brother's article was given to the father-in-law for guidance, but it was only logical.Look at what my sister-in-law looks like these days: nourished and satisfied, it's not just because she gave birth to a son.

However, his mother, Mrs. Wang, was also present, and Yuan Chun couldn't ask too many questions, lest mother and sister-in-law would cause further quarrels between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she was already quite uncomfortable for giving to Mrs. Wang.

On the other hand, mother should persuade her as much as she can, and Yuan Chun can't be stingy when it's time to give her reassurance, "Madam, I'll talk to the lord about my brother's matter later, don't be too... just listen to the wind and the rain."

Mrs. Wang thought about it again, did her daughter agree to this matter?So she also said with a smile: "Then I will trouble you to think about it."

As the saying goes, living in Yiqi, nourishing Yi's body, her daughter has become the third-rank princess side concubine, and her words are becoming more convincing, and at the same time more firm, it is difficult to persuade and sway.

But Mrs. Wang is very pleased with this: It is not easy for my daughter to be provoked by those dirty things. If her temperament is too soft, how can she stand firmly in the palace?

Mrs. Wang said again: "As long as the side concubine is safe, everything will be fine." This is a scene, and the following is the real thought, "Don't...too forceful, it is common for the prince to take care of one or two in his busy schedule."

When Yuan Chun heard this, he laughed straight away: How is it possible to help or not?It was clear that he wanted her to give him a letter.

But helping my elder brother is absolutely willing, Yuanchun smiled and said, "I know what I know." Then he asked Baoyu, "Are you still naughty?"

The younger son's talent is stronger than that of the eldest son, and he has a docile temperament. Mrs. Wang always feels that Baoyu is more caring, and she speaks with a bit of pride in her words, "Teach his husband, he is full of praise. When your brother is free, teach him too." some knowledge."

This time Yuanchun really laughed out loud: "Let me teach you by example, if Bao Yuruo learns the dim sum machine from his elder brother Jia Zhu, he will benefit endlessly in this life."

After talking about the good things, Yuan Chun had to ask about the not-so-good things, "How is uncle doing?"

This is another worry for Mrs. Wang, "He is not badly raised, but he is about to leave Beijing to take up his post. The bitter cold place...how can it be?"

The place where Wang Ziteng works is said to be bitterly cold... But that place, Yuanchun, has read the local chronicles carefully: the north-south traffic town, where merchants gather, the cold is real, but the bitterness is not necessarily. earned a lot.

To be honest, if my uncle hadn't made great contributions, he wouldn't be able to do this good job.As for the uncle's real worry, he just wanted to follow the eldest prince's wishes and poach the seventh prince's corner...

Yuan Chun described the local situation in detail, and Mrs. Wang's worry was at least half gone.

Taking advantage of Mrs. Wang's time to change clothes, Yuan Chun gave Li Wan a wink, and said softly, "Find a chance and come again."

How could Li Wan not respond?Originally, she also wanted to have more contact with her sister-in-law.Different from Mrs. Wang and Jia Min, Li Wan is quite sincere towards Yuan Chun, his sister-in-law.

Just this time, after my sister-in-law said something, the mother-in-law relaxed a lot, and she didn't have to worry about it when she went home, making everyone have to be careful. Just looking at this point, Li Wan would accept her sister-in-law's intentions.

After seeing off his mother and sister-in-law, Yuan Chun sat back in front of the desk and began to look at the account books.

But when Zhao Zhizhen left the palace gate, he met... the eldest prince who had been waiting for a while.

As the saying goes, people must ask for something when they are courteous, and Zhao Zhizhen cheered up immediately: Although the two brothers have the same father and mother, their personal relationship is very ordinary.

After the brothers greeted each other, the eldest prince Zhao Zhidi looked at his younger brother for a while, and then said, "You look pretty good." When the old seventh wife died, he was really sad, but this time...he looked mostly tired.

Zhao Zhizhen forced a smile, "Brother Xie for your concern, he eats well and sleeps well."

The eldest prince said: "Come out from my concubine... just have something on your mind, right?"

The two brothers chatted as they walked, not afraid that the prince would send someone over to listen to the corner.The eldest prince said softly again: "My brother will apologize to you first here. It was really a last resort."

Taking advantage of Zhao Zhizhen's garrison in the north, the eldest prince took some credit for his own people when discussing meritorious service, and even suppressed Liu Huan, and in the end he found a governor for Prince Teng.

It happened that Wang Ziteng was the uncle of Zhao Zhizhen's side concubine, and Zhao Zhizhen didn't directly refuse because of his relatives.But it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Zhizhen to accept Zhao Zhidi's favor for this.

The eldest prince also knew that he could make his subjects take refuge in him, but he couldn't show his arrogance. Even his younger brother who had been in the army for many years would bow down and worship him.Now that he wants to fight against the crown prince, he must repair the relationship with his younger brother... He doesn't expect to say a few good words, and his younger brother will be able to get rid of his grudges—it won't work if he doesn't show some real benefits.

But since it is to give up the benefits, it is necessary to bargain... It is not easy to negotiate a "business" in this cold and windy outdoor.Besides, my younger brother just passed away his wife, so it's not easy to go out to have a banquet as a guest, so the eldest prince wants to sit at his younger brother's house while he is resting.

Zhao Zhizhen agreed with a look of nothing to do.

The eldest prince looked at his younger brother's back, turned his head and whispered to his confidants, "Go and find out what the imperial concubine told Lao Qi."

After Zhao Zhizhen returned to the mansion, he met his son as usual, asked about his daughter, and walked into Yuanchun's courtyard—he lay down on the bed as soon as he entered.

Seeing this, Yuan Chun was surprised and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Zhizhen patted his heart, "Tired."

The eldest brother who is eager to try, the prince who is late to attack, and the unfathomable father... Just thinking about the thoughts of these three people and the corresponding countermeasures has already made him sleepless.After much deliberation, he realized that the north was his "outlet": it was imperative to gather some manpower and gradually arrange them to work in the north.

Taking advantage of Yuan Chun rubbing his shoulders for him, he closed his eyes and asked, "Is there anyone from your natal family who is willing to go to the north to experience it?"

Yuan Chun's heart skipped a beat, why didn't he know that this was a great opportunity?There must be real shortages in the north, not the donated grades of my cousins.

But she still said honestly: "Except for my brother, none of the brothers from my natal family have any fame."

To be a civil servant without fame, but not to be taller or farther away, but to join the army... Yuan Chun didn't think that there were a few brothers from her natal family who could be ruthless enough to endure hardships.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhizhen couldn't help laughing and said: "You are protecting them too. Why don't you ask me if you have time."

Yuan Chun said helplessly, "Brother Zhen and Second Brother Lian, which one do you like?"

Although she was partial to Lian's second brother, she had to admit that Jia Zhen was better than Jia Lian.Besides, Jia Lian also met the prince at the beginning... But there is no more after that.

Zhao Zhizhen squinted his eyes, "Doesn't that cousin of yours who is 'anxious and kind' has a son?" As long as he has the heart to investigate, how can Jia Zhen's actions be hidden from Zhao Zhizhen?

Separate Jia Zhen and Jia Rong from father and son?This time Yuan Chun can believe that Zhao Zhizhen is thinking of her: I can't stop Brother Zhen, but I can let his son stop his father!

Yuan Chun naturally smiled: "My lord, you are really powerful." One sentence solved my worries... One, no wonder everyone is flocking to profit and power.

Seeing Yuan Chun's expression of surprise, Zhao Zhizhen said unhurriedly: "It's better to be unhurried, no matter how mischievous you are, you will grow up in the north. If it really doesn't work, just send it back."

After saying this, Yuan Chun didn't speak for a long time.

Without waiting for an answer, Zhao Zhizhen couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Yuan Chun said quietly: "Do you really want to use my natal family? Or do you just want to toss... play..."

Zhao Zhizhen put his arms around Yuan Chun and laughed loudly, "Is this all for you to see?"

But when Mrs. Wang and Li Wan returned to Rongfu, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to Jiamu's room to talk for a while before going back to the yard.

Jia Zheng asked about his daughter's complexion—Mrs. Wang was not an honest person who discussed everything with her husband, and the couple also had a brief conversation. Jia Zheng greeted her and went to Aunt Zhao's yard to rest.

As for Jia Zhu, he waited for his wife for a long time in the inner study.

From his wife's narration, he heard his sister's intention of defending, so he said sincerely: "My sister is always caring." After a pause, he instructed, "Next time you go to the palace, you just tell the truth."

Li Wan was taken aback, "The king of Zhongshun said that your writing is not good enough, sir, and that you have to work hard for several years to become a Jinshi... Are you telling the truth?" How can my sister-in-law remain indifferent after hearing this?The uncle already favors this younger sister, and he is not usually in the mood to cause trouble for his family!

Jia Zhu sighed: "She said she wanted to mention something to the prince. Isn't it too late for us to stop it now? Besides, we can't hide this matter from others. It would be unbeautiful to hear the whole story from the prince."

Before Li Wan could answer, the big girl who was serving beside him came in and reported, "The palace sent someone to let the uncle, the second master Lian and Brother Rong from Ningfu come to the palace when they are free."

Jia Zhu and Li Wan looked at each other, and it was still Jia Zhu who said with emotion: "My sister is too impatient."

How did he know that this was Zhao Zhizhen's idea?It's just that after seeing the prince and listening to some explanations, this matter is really mixed.
