Inside Changle Palace, Jia Baoyu saluted and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager in a nervous mood. Hearing the Empress Empress' gentle cry from above, she got up and stood up straight without squinting.

Since something happened at home two years ago, Sister Feng persuaded him with those words (Note 1). He also knows that he is the eldest son in the family, his parents must be taken care of by him, and his younger siblings must rely on him, and his grandmother loves him. In those years, he couldn't let his grandmother worry about him when she was 80 or [-] years old.

Besides... the older he gets, the more he knows, the more he realizes that today's courts are not all those state thieves, there are really many officials who are doing practical things. All the officials got off their horses one by one.

He went to study and benefited from the imperial examination. From then on, his colleagues and senior officials were all heroes of the country like Duke Liang of Chu State, not the corrupt officials and mediocre people he saw when he was young.

In the past, the old man and his wife urged him to study, but he had no choice but to study.

It hasn't been half a month since Sister Feng persuaded him. The master and wife came back from suffering, and they didn't have the energy to hold him anymore. He didn't study for a day. urge.

In the spring of this year, he and Cong'er went back to the hometown to take the exam together. Both of them passed the three county examinations in the prefectural examination house and passed the three exams. food, but also has the name of a scholar.

He is 15 years old, one year older than Cong'er, but Kai Meng is two or three years earlier than Cong'er.

And because he was raised by his grandmother since he was a child, and his grandmother loved him so much. Before the master put him and Cong'er Huan'er Lan'er together to study and go to school, he was the only one who invited Mr. Cong'er to go to school seriously at home. All of them went to the ancestral school, which was full of smog.

Even when he went to school with Cong'er, Huan'er and Lan'er, Huan'er was two years younger than Cong'er, and Lan'er was one year younger than Cong'er, and his knowledge was the most solid. I don't know that Cong'er's knowledge can also pass the examination of scholar.

If Cong'er is asked to take the exam again next year at the same age as him, will Cong'er be a first-class talent like him?

Jia Baoyu and Jia Cong went back to Beijing together on the boat. After reading at night, they always thought about this matter.

Since he was a child, he didn't study hard, but he was talented in some poems. He even made a couple of lines of poems to be praised by those gentlemen. After going to school with his brothers and nephews, he never thought about his brothers and nephews There will be a day when we can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

It was only at this time that Jia Baoyu really realized that he and Jia Cong, Jia Huan and Jia Lan were both children of the Jia family, and no one should be more noble and promising than anyone else.

Looking back on the past few years of studying, at the beginning he relied on his cleverness and often fished for three days and dried the net for two days. He finished the work after finishing the homework assigned by his husband, and it was over if he could fool the master.

Later, he studied hard, that is, in the past two years, he made up his mind that he must be admitted as a scholar this year, so he studied desperately.

But it has been four or five years since they went to school together, apart from him, which one of the three, Cong'er, Huan'er, and Lan'er, has not been studying from early morning to late night since then?Who doesn't want to learn more after finishing their homework?Who doesn't immediately find someone to ask if there is a problem?

Cong'er was admitted as a scholar this year, it was only a matter of course.

This year's provincial examination, and next year's competition year, he and Cong'er are both young and not knowledgeable enough, so they don't plan to take the exam.

The husband suggested that it is best to wait for another three subjects, and then take the exam after another six or seven years, with a solid foundation of knowledge.

But Jia Baoyu made up his mind, if he didn't pass this one subject, he would try the next one no matter what, if he could pass, he would be the top three.

This year he is fifteen, the next subject of the provincial examination is 21, and he will be [-] and [-] after another subject.

A man in his twenties is an adult, and the two families have already separated. He is the only legitimate son in the family, and he is also the elder brother. He should hold up the lintel.

The old man and his wife are both half-centenarian this year. As the saying goes, the life of a person is seventy years old. The old man and his wife gave birth to him. As a son of man, he should be filial to his parents for a few years. Don’t let the old man and his wife worry about their family when their hair is gray... …

There is also a third younger sister, Wei Ruolan from the Wei family, everything is good in his family, but there are uncles and aunts who don't worry about it.

People's hearts are unpredictable, what if the Wei family sees that there is no one in the third sister's family and insults her?As an elder brother, he doesn't have any official position, so how can he stand up for the third sister?

You can't rely on the eldest sister in the palace for the rest of your life, so what good place is the palace?The eldest sister may be suffering herself.

Her mother's family is full of high-ranking officials, and their family alone embarrasses the elder sister.

During these days when family accidents happened, Jia Baoyu often felt the warmth and coldness of human relations.He feels that he is still protected by his grandmother, and even if he is like this, if one day no one protects him anymore, he will support the lintel of the family.

Having made up his mind, Jia Baoyu worked harder than ever in the past few months after returning to Beijing, even on Mu's holidays, he was still holding books.

After all, Jia Baoyu was young and not yet an adult, he was only focused on establishing a career and didn't think about anything else. Unbeknownst to him, his mother and grandmother were already worried about his marriage, and they had several times of disagreement.

Last year, when Jia's mother entered the palace and asked the concubine Xian, she secretly said that the Wang family was very picky about Baoyu's marriage.

Unexpectedly, after Sunrise Palace returned to the residence, Mother Jia learned that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng had not mentioned the name of Concubine Xian when they donated the garden, so she had already separated from her.

Rongguo Mansion is already in charge of Lian'er and Feng girl, and Mother Jia understands this without thinking too much.

But I knew in my heart that it didn't mean there was no shock.Mother Jia was already an old man, so she couldn't think about it for a while. After that day, she was sick in bed for several months.

It wasn't until spring came, when the flowers bloomed, that Jia's mother finally gradually improved. After everything was healed, she married off the big girls, Mandarin Duck and Amber, and let Wang Xifeng choose new girls for her. Getting along on the face is still the same as before.

After delaying Baoyu's marriage for half a year, he and Jia Cong returned to Jinling by boat for the exam.

After returning from Jinling, Jia Baoyu was already a scholar, and Wang felt that his status was different. In addition, it was reported in the palace that the concubine Xian was pregnant, and she was more than ten times more picky than last year. Even the prostitutes of Guan'er's family looked down on her.

After being so picky about several families, the matchmakers in Beijing and China avoided the second wife of the Jia family.

His family's second master is really good, he looks so good, his face is like a silver basin, his color is like spring dawn, he is also very polite, he knows how to advance and retreat, and he is really promising. At the age of 15, he is a first-class talent, but there is a difficult person mother.

When a woman gets married, one depends on how the man is, and the other depends on whether the man's parents and relatives get along well.

If the parents, sister-in-law and sister-in-law are difficult and picky, no matter how good the man is, he will fall behind in marriage.

There is no way around it, a woman is born weak, and when she marries into her husband's family, she becomes her husband's family, and she is not raised at the knees of her parents-in-law like a real son. How can a family who loves her daughter not be afraid of her daughter being wronged?

Even if the family's parents were convicted of the crimes of the second bedroom and second master of Jia's family, at least there is a second-rank concubine sister born to a mother in the palace, who is well-loved and pregnant, and this can be smoothed out. I'm good, from a comprehensive point of view, a daughter of a fourth-rank official family or a concubine daughter of a second- and third-rank official can be worthy.

However, Mrs. Wang is really too picky, even more difficult than Lin Juren's mother Mrs. Wei last year.

Mrs. Wei only wants her daughter-in-law to be rich. After all, she is not from the capital, so it is easy to fool her. At least Lin Juren has Miss Xia as a couple, and both parties are satisfied. Taking advantage of Miss Xia's 16th birthday in August this year, the two families have already arranged a marriage. up.

But the Jia family has been established in Beijing for four or five generations, and everyone knows the roots and backgrounds everywhere, and Mrs. Wang also knows all the families, so it's not easy to be fooled.

She also wants a girl of high birth, a daughter of the first wife, good looks, a well-educated, rational, submissive, and capable housekeeper and director. This evil mother-in-law?

If you really want to fool a good girl, don't you harm them?Besides, why do you want to have an enmity with senior officials for money?They are nothing more than small official media.

The official media had no choice but to avoid the Wang family. No one wanted to make money from the family. Even when Jia's mother asked them to talk, they all just pretended to be stupid and had no idea.

Jia Mu was so angry that she sent a girl to talk to Wang Shi and tell Wang Shixian concubine what she wanted.

It's just that no matter how carefully the new girl was selected, she was not as good as the old mandarin ducks. When she passed the message, she didn't say a few words correctly, which made Wang fall back in anger. It happened that Jia Mu found out.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became enemies again, sandwiching Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu, father and son.

As a son of man, Jia Zheng naturally reprimanded Wang for disrespecting his mother.

But Mrs. Wang had been heartbroken to Jia Zheng for a long time, and she refused to give up a word, and confronted him tit for tat.

Her daughter is a second-rank virtuous concubine, and her natal brother is still called "Governor Wang" by others, and he is a hero of the country.

She gave birth to two sons and a daughter all her life, kept filial piety for her father-in-law, presided over the Jia family for 20 years, and put in half of the dowry, but now she has been in prison and lost her order to move out of Rongguo Mansion. Don't know her suffering, let her mother-in-law preside over Baoyu's marriage to her mother-in-law?

How could she swallow this breath!

Jia Zheng was so angry that his veins bulged, and he wanted to attack, but Wang just looked at him with a sneer, and didn't hide at all.

The woman in front of her had gray hair, wrinkled face, cloudy eyes, and bent back. She was an old lady.

Who is this man?Why are you staring at him so hatefully?Could it be the Wang family?

But Wang is not like that...

The Jia and Wang families are family friends. He remembered that Wang was cute when he was young, and became more and more charming when he was young. He spoke straightforwardly and had a very straightforward temper. She is also pitiful and cute when she has a temper.

There were also two people in his room at that time, but they couldn't compare to Wang Shi and his kindness, so they were dismissed by Wang Shi and he didn't care much.

He studied, Wang's housekeeper was filial to his parents, he took time to teach Wang to read and write, and the husband and wife lived in harmony. Later, they gave birth to Zhu'er and Yuanchun together.

She was smart when she was young, and Yuan Chun was well-behaved and sensible. After more than ten years, Mrs. Wang was pregnant with another child, which was Baoyu.

Because Mrs. Wang gave birth at an advanced age, the imperial doctor instructed to be very careful, Mrs. Wang regarded this child as a treasure, and ignored him.

He was not very interested. It happened that there was a girl named Zhao in the yard. She was quite pretty and had a hot temper.

He was fascinated for a while, and took Zhao Shi into use, and within a few times, Zhao Shi became pregnant.

After Wang knew about it, she didn't say anything, and as usual, after a while, she picked another girl for him, saying that there was no one in the house these years, and she wronged him.

The old lady praised Wang's virtuousness. Seeing this, he felt relieved and went to Zhao's house often.

Zhu'er started school at the age of 14, one year earlier than Baoyu, but it's a pity that she passed away due to illness.

From then on, Mrs. Wang became silent. Yueyue respected the days, ate fast and recited Buddha's name, dressed plainly, and stopped talking and laughing loudly.

Looking at Wang Shi like this, he didn't know what to say, and he had nothing to say.

He and Mrs. Wang are both middle-aged. A man in his thirties, is he still buying new gadgets to make Mrs. Wang happy as he did when he was young?

Except for the children's affairs, the two of them rarely communicated with each other.

Pearl is gone, their parents are naturally sad, but the old lady is also sad, the old lady is getting older, at this time there is Baoyu again, so he mentioned it with Wang, and sent Baoyu to the old lady to be raised. So that the old lady can smile too much.

Mrs. Wang was silent for a long time and agreed.

Later, she sent Tanchun, who was born by Mrs. Zhao, to the old lady.

Later, Yuan Chun was also sent to the palace by his family to seek a better future. The Wang family regarded Baoyu more and more like his heart and soul, and ignored other things.

When Zhao made troubles, she made troubles, and she didn't care if they didn't make troubles. He thought it was because of the generosity of Wang's royal family.

In Jia Zheng's impression, the Wang family was either lively and bright, or plain and peaceful, but they never lived like they are now.

With a ferocious expression and red eyes, he looked at him as if he was looking at an enemy of several lifetimes.

When did the Wang family start to become like this?

Faced with this strange white-haired old woman with red eyes, Jia Zheng fled in despair.

Tanchun knew about these things between the elders, and so did Jia Huan, but Jia Baoyu was the only one who kept it from them.

Jia Baoyu studied day and night, ate when he was hungry, and went to bed when sleepy. He never went out except in the morning and evening.
