Weiyang of the Red Mansion

Jia Fu smiled in embarrassment, found an excuse and left Liu Lin to help the West Mansion greet the guests.

Jia She and the newborn Jia Zheng are the only ones in the Jia family who are of the same generation as him. Jia She is only five years old this year. Naturally, he is not expected to greet the guests with his hairless child, let alone Jia Zheng. Today is his third baptism.

Jia Fu took Jia Jing and Jia Gan to help greet the guests. After doing the three rites, the guests dispersed, and Jia Fu followed his grandfather back to Dongfu.

"I heard Liu Lin pulled you to talk for a while?"

Jia Fu followed back to the East Mansion, and was dragged by his grandfather to the Nuan Pavilion in the main courtyard to talk.

Hearing this question, Jia Fu said dumbfoundedly, "I was talking for a while."

"What did he tell you?"

Jia Fu glanced at Jia Yan and sighed, "Grandfather, in fact, you already know what Uncle Liu's family told me, right?"

"Well, grandpa won't play tricks with you. Tell grandpa, do you like that girl from the Liu family?" Jia Yan knew that his wife had already taken a fancy to the eldest granddaughter of the old Liu family. He still has a deep impression of the girl from the Liu family. If his grandson likes it, he will give up his old face and hire the eldest girl from the Liu family for his grandson.

When Jia Fu was dragged to the Nuan Pavilion and heard his grandfather's question, he had a premonition, but he was still a little helpless when he really heard what his grandfather said.

"Grandfather, I have never seen this girl from the Liu family, how do you want me to answer you?"

Hearing this, Jia Yan also felt that she was a little anxious, and sighed, "Brother Fu, the eldest girl of the Liu family actually fell in love with your grandmother a long time ago because of you. Your grandmother loves you the most. If this girl is not real Well, your grandmother will definitely not still be obsessed with it after their family declined, if you think it's okay, grandpa will give up this old face, and ask Lao Liu to agree to this marriage."

Jia Fu knew that what the family was most worried about now was his marriage, and he had let go before, so naturally he has no regrets now.

After pondering for a moment, Jia Fu sighed, "Grandfather, I really can't answer your question now. I have never met a girl from the Liu family. If you only ask me if I am satisfied based on my family background, you might as well just mention the son of the prince of Xining County." The only daughter, in terms of family background, is stronger than the eldest girl of the Liu family."

"If the eldest grandson of the king of Xining County didn't marry the fourth princess, the eldest girl in their family would be good, but now, it's another matter. The fourth princess is the sister of the seventh prince, eighth prince and ninth prince. Crowning the Sixth Palace, even the empress should stay away from Concubine Sun. The seventh prince is the eldest son of Concubine Sun. Although he is only 11 years old this year, he is not as smart as the first three princes. If you marry the granddaughter of the Prince of Xining , that is, passively standing in the line of the Seventh Prince, whether you like it or not, you will not be able to escape from seizing the throne."

Jia Fu heard something strange and said, "Since the seventh prince is smart, why doesn't my grandfather allow me to be related to him? According to the current trend, the possibility of the seventh prince becoming the throne is much higher than that of the fourth, fifth and sixth princes."

"Brother Fu, remember, our family is loyal to the Holy One, and seizing the throne has nothing to do with our family." Jia Yan warned solemnly.

Jia Fu smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I don't have the intention of being a dragon, nor have I ever thought of nepotism. With my ability, I still have to rely on my wife to get ahead?"

"You've always been smart, so I'm naturally not worried about you going astray," Jia Yan calmed down and said, "Liu's girl's family background is comparable to yours, Lao Liu's two sons are good, although the second son Liu Lin is a bit out of tune, But he still has the skills, next year he will be appointed governor of Shandong, and in another ten or eight years, it is not hopeless to join the cabinet."

Jia Fu heard the words and knew that Jia Yan liked the eldest girl of the Liu family because of the potential of their family. Unlike her grandmother, she liked the character of the eldest girl of the Liu family.

After such a calculation, the eldest girl from the Liu family actually passed the test of his grandfather and grandmother at the same time.

More than that, in fact, his mother's sense of the eldest girl of the Liu family is also very good.

"Grandfather, give me another half a year, and I will give you an answer within half a year."

Jia Fu also knew that his grandfather was in a hurry. He had let go more than half a month ago, but he hadn't responded until now. His grandfather might also be muttering in his heart, afraid that he was delaying time.

Sure enough, as soon as Jia Fu made this promise, Jia Yan let him go.

After November, it entered the twelfth lunar month. The weather is getting colder and colder, but the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.

This year Jia Fu is not in Beijing, so Jia Fu is naturally absent when worshiping ancestors. This time Jia Fu is in Beijing, so naturally he cannot be absent. In previous years, when Jia Fu was in Beijing, his grandfather was worried that he would catch the cold, so he would never be absent when worshiping ancestors. Let him stay in the house and rest.

Turning the new year is the seventh year of Xingqian. Jia Fu wanted to secretly meet the eldest girl of the Liu family a few years ago, but he was very busy near the end of the year, so naturally he didn't take care of it.

After the Chinese New Year, February is the competition period. Jia Fu didn't want to wait three years to suffer again after failing the rankings, so he put most of his attention on this competition. Naturally, the girl from the Liu family was completely abandoned by him. behind the head.

It was the second half of February when the examination results were released, and Jia Fu won the first place in this year's examination.

The palace examination was in late April, and there was a retest before the palace examination. The retest was at the beginning of April, and the time was very tight. Jia Fu naturally didn't want to make a mistake during the palace examination and fall out of the top three, otherwise his membership would be a joke.

On April 21st, he took part in the imperial examination in the Hall of Preservation and Harmony. Jia Fu was only fifteen years old, and he stood out from the group of tributes. In addition, he was outstanding in appearance, and because he took the first place in the examination, he stood at the front. , naturally more attention.

The palace examination will take one day, and the papers will be handed in at dusk and sealed.

After returning home after the exam, Jia Fu slept soundly for a whole day, and didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day.

The palace examination was released on the first day of May, and Jia Fu did not win the number one prize. He was selected as the No. [-] candidate in this subject. After all, it was still limited by his age. Whether it was the minister who marked the paper or the emperor, he wanted to suppress Jia Fu's limelight, fearing that he would be young. Sheng.

Although he was suppressed in the rankings, everyone who cares knows that Jia Fu is the number one scholar. The emperor liked Jia Fu's policy theory very much, but Jia Fu was still too young. Jia Fu had high hopes and didn't want him to destroy his future, so he listened to the elder Ge's opinion and lowered Jia Fu's ranking.

However, although the emperor suppressed Jia Fu's ranking, he made an exception when he conferred the post of editor of the Imperial Academy to Jia Fu. According to the usual practice, both the second place in the list and Tanhua are editors who are awarded the seventh rank, but Jia Fu broke this example.

The second place in the ranking was one higher than Jia Fu, but he was just an editor, and his status in the Imperial Academy became awkward in an instant.

Jia Fu was born in Ningguo Mansion, he was a real son of a noble family, but he was able to be a top student in high school at the age of fifteen, which made those talented people from Jiangnan feel ashamed.

These so-called gifted scholars have always had their eyes set high above the top, and looked down on noble family members, thinking how great they are, but this time they were severely slapped in the face.

Jia Fu's grandfather, Jia Yan, was the happiest among Jia Fu's senior high school students. The descendants of the Jia family finally turned out to be talented, and he was still his grandson. Could he not be happy?

How can grandson not celebrate when he is in high school?

Jia Yan hosted a banquet in Ningguo Mansion, and invited all the honorable persons he was familiar with, so he naturally wanted to show off.

Although Jia Fu was impatient with these entertainments, he endured seeing his grandfather happy.

Because the protagonist this time is Jia Fu, even if he is not in good health, this time he is not exempt, so he drank a few glasses of wine.

As a result, after drinking a few cups, he smelled of alcohol and had to find an excuse to leave the banquet, and ran to Huifangyuan behind to sober up.

There is a waterside pavilion in Huifang Garden. Jia Fu didn’t want to meet those old men for the time being, so he chose a secret place to lie down and take a nap for a while. Because of drinking, his head was a little dizzy, and he fell asleep leaning on the rockery soon after. .

"Girl, run!"

I don't know how long I slept, when suddenly Jia Fu heard the woman's yell and woke up with a start.

Because he was hiding behind the rockery, surrounded by a meter-high grass, it naturally completely covered his figure.

Before he had time to think about what happened, he heard footsteps approaching, and suddenly there was a sound of "ah", Jia Fu felt a shadow in front of his eyes, and then he fell into a person in his arms, almost smashing his eyes Hei fainted.

Good weight!

This was the only thought that crossed Jia Fu's mind.

Slowing down, he smelled a tangy fragrance, raised his eyes and looked at a pair of big eyes, almost face to face.

Jia Fu: "..."

"who are you?"

"Who are you?!"

Jia Fu and the girl in front of him spoke almost at the same time.

Immediately at the same time, Jia Fu was stunned, and then he laughed, "Who are you asking me in our house?" After speaking, he looked at the girl, and couldn't help but think to himself, she looks as beautiful as a flower...

The beautiful girl blinked her big eyes, stared at Jia Fu, and asked tentatively, "Are you... Uncle Fu from Ningguo Mansion?"

Jia Fu said that Ningguo Mansion was his home, and the master of Ningguo Mansion at this age was only Jia Fu.

"Well, then who are you? What are you running around in my yard?" Jia Fu responded lightly, and couldn't help complaining, "But speaking of it, you are really heavy. You just fell down and almost gave me Stoned to death."

These words made the beautiful girl feel ashamed and angry, her beautiful and delicate face flushed with anger, "Then you died?!"

Jia Fu froze, hooked his lips and chuckled, "You're pretty arrogant, don't forget this is my house, believe it or not, I'll throw you into the water and drown you, and then bury you in a random place in the garden?"

"You dare!" The girl didn't believe Jia Fu's nonsense at all, but Jia Fu's words also angered her, and she couldn't help but grabbed Jia Fu's collar, but she didn't expect that Jia Fu's collar Clothes were pulled apart.

Jia Fu: "..."

"I didn't see that you are still a powerful character. Is this because you are attracted to me and want to rely on me?" Jia Fu calmly pulled up his clothes, looked at the flushed girl, and teased.

This girl is quite fun...

Looking at the clothes, she didn't look like a girl from an ordinary family. Today, only acquaintances were invited to the banquet, and the only ones who brought the girl to the banquet were Zhen Guo Gongniu's family, Li Guo Gong Liu's family and Xiu Guo Gong Hou's family.

There are only two concubine daughters in the second house in the Zhen Guogong family, and the long house has no daughters.Duke Li's eldest house has two daughters, the eldest girl is from the concubine, the second girl is from the concubine, the Duke Xiu's family has three girls, the eldest girl is from the eldest house, she is only four years old this year, the second girl and the third girl are concubines from the second house, They were still in their infancy and hadn't brought them at all.

Therefore, there were only five girls who accompanied him to the banquet today, the girl brought by Xiuguo's family was only four years old, the two girls from Zhenguo's family were less than ten years old, and the girl in front of him was at least twelve years old. At the age of three, it was obvious that girls from Duke Xiu's and Duke Zhen's families were excluded.

The eldest girl of the Duke of Li's family is thirteen this year, and the second girl is [-] this year. The girl in front of him must belong to the Duke of Li's family, and judging by her attire, it is impossible for a concubine to dress so well, so...

This girl is obviously the eldest girl of the Liu family that his grandmother never forgets.
