Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 18: Selection and Greetings
The two villains thought about it and finally decided to go all the way. Since they had already offended someone, they were not afraid to go to extremes.
As Jiang's father was strolling around the Eight Great Hutongs as usual, he was put in a sack when he passed through a dark alley. Jiang's father thought he was being robbed, so he untied the sack and threw it out, saying, "My dear heroes, I have little money at home, please accept it."
But Father Jiang couldn't see the murderous intent in the eyes of these people. After waiting for a while, they started to beat him like a storm. When they saw that Father Jiang was no longer moving, they quickly withdrew. The two leaders discussed with each other. "Is it okay?" "Are you still not confident in my skills? You will die within three days!"
Jiang's father, who was trapped in the sack, broke free and staggered back home. When Jiang's mother saw his father covered in blood, she could not even stand steadily. She could only muster up strength, help him into the house, lock the door, and call a doctor.
The doctor only looked at Jiang's father's eyes and tongue coating, then shook his head and asked Jiang's mother to prepare for his funeral. Jiang's mother was heartbroken. How could he be fine when he went out, but become like this when he came back? The doctor gave Jiang's father a few injections to wake him up so that he could explain his funeral.
Jiang's father weakly comforted Jiang's mother, saying that their family was kind to others and had never made enemies. The thieves today might have been attracted by the eldest sister's incident, so he only told Jiang's mother to take good care of Jiang Chen and not to look for Mu Fang anymore. Their fate in this life was severed, and they only hoped to continue their family life in the next life.
Jiang's mother could only nod with tears in her eyes. In this way, the Jiang family was left with only an orphan and a widow. Jiang's mother was bedridden, and Jiang Chen was only four years old. He could not cause any big trouble. The Jiang family also said to the public that Jiang's father had died of an emergency. A year later, the people who secretly watched the Jiang family also withdrew.
After the memories ended, Jiang's mother looked at Jiang Chen's face. His once tender face had become angular. She sighed that Jiang Chen was now able to support the family! In fact, during the years when they had supported each other, Jiang Chen had always been the one in charge.
But Jiang Chen was so young that his mother didn't think he could do anything. She couldn't imagine how she would survive if the Jiang family was devastated again. So she said perfunctorily, "You are still immature now. Even if I tell you, you can't do anything. You'd better continue to study."
Seeing that his mother refused to speak, Jiang Chen could only leave, but his heart was ablaze with anger and fighting spirit. Since I can't find out the truth now, I will find someone who can! Jiang Chen knew about the rumors about him in the capital. He certainly understood the principle of shooting the first bird to stick its head out, but he also had his own ambitions. Only Huang Guan in the early Ming Dynasty had achieved the first place in the imperial examination. If he could do it, just for this political significance, his future would be good unless he rebelled!
Moreover, as long as you can serve the emperor, you will naturally find an opportunity to plead your case. The whole world belongs to the emperor. In terms of power, who can compare with the master of the Forbidden City? Especially since the current emperor is a despotic ruler, his authority cannot be violated by anyone.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen fell asleep in a daze.
Liu Youyou was amazed at her cheap uncle's memory. Was this the basic component of the top scholar? Anyway, Liu Youyou had no memory of anything before the age of six, and everything before the age of ten had to be triggered by memory points.
Liu Youyou was reading Jiang Chen's book "From Entry to Sprint - Imperial Examination" and reached the 13st year of Kangxi. Why didn't she go directly to the nd year of Kangxi? Because Liu Youyou was years old, and it was the time for the once-in-three-year selection. Liu Youyou was tired of the feudal system.
However, before the official selection in June, the Empress Defei in the palace had sent a message early, asking Fu Jin to bring the two princesses in the palace to the palace to meet. Fu Jin was of course mixed with joy and sorrow about Rouze being summoned. As expected, the Empress Defei wanted to select someone for the Fourth Prince, but the Fourth Prince was clearly trained by the Emperor as the Crown Prince's assistant and was not favored. Fu Jin was naturally unwilling to let Rouze enter the palace in this way for her own plans.
But Concubine De couldn't be offended, so the wife of the emperor cast her sights on Yixiu. As a concubine's daughter, even if Yixiu was chosen, she would not be given the position of the legitimate wife. If one day the Fourth Prince rose to power, it would not be too late for Rouze to reap the benefits. It was just the right time for Yixiu to test the waters for Rouze.
In this way, Fu Jin began to frequently reward Yi Xiu, from cloth and ready-made clothes to jewelry, all of which were fine and very suitable for Yi Xiu, magnifying the advantages of her facial features and figure. She also sharpened her skills before the battle, and often asked Yi Xiu to go to the main courtyard to practice etiquette and behavior.
On the day of entering the palace, Liu Youyou was pulled out of bed early, washed and dressed, and only ate some snacks. She was not even allowed to drink tea. After an hour, Liu Youyou, who was dressed appropriately, met with Fu Jin Rouze and went to the Forbidden City together.
Liu Youyou was afraid to lift the curtain to observe because of his wife. What a good research material! A detailed explanation of the folk customs and people's lives in the capital in the early Qing Dynasty left me like this. Liu Youyou maintained a serious posture, with no resentment in his heart, and came to Shunzhen Gate like this.
Zhuxi was also waiting at the door, but compared with more than ten years ago, Zhuxi's clothes and jewelry had upgraded by more than one level. After all, as Defei's status rose, Zhuxi, as her head maid, naturally also had to wear golden clothes.
Fu Jin greeted Zhu Xi enthusiastically: "Why did aunt come here in person to wait?"
Zhuxi replied kindly, "Knowing that the concubine and the princesses would come today, the queen has been waiting since early morning and urged me to come and pick them up!"
Fu Jin brought Rou Ze and Liu Youyou onto the sedan chair. This sedan chair was more spacious and luxurious than the first one, which was enough to show the emperor's favor and grace over the years.
Entering the main hall, although De Fei has given birth to many children in recent years, after all, the Feng Shui of the palace is good for women, and she has taken good care of herself, and she does not look like she is already in her early thirties. After the ceremony, De Fei looked at Rou Ze Yi Xiu and teased Fu Jin: "These two golden flowers in your family are really charming and charming. I wonder which family will hire them!"
As she spoke, she took off the jade bracelet in her hand and put it on Rouze's wrist, and then took off a gold hairpin and put it on Yixiu's head, "I am so happy to see you, I wish you could stay with me, you can keep this little thing and play with it!"
Rouze Liu Youyou hurriedly stood up and bowed to express her gratitude. Defei asked the little palace maid to help them up and said affectionately: "Based on the relationship between our two families, you can just call me aunt!"
After hearing the two call her aunt, Concubine De waved her hand again and asked Zhuxi to take out the cloth palace flowers that had been prepared long ago and give them to Rouze and Yixiu. "This is the most fashionable style in the palace this year, but I can't be as delicate as the little girls. After meeting these two princesses today, I finally understand what it means to match clothes! Take them back and make clothes for them. I will be happy to see you little girls dressed up beautifully!"
Rouze had also followed Fu Jin into the palace to pay respects to Concubine De, but as she grew older and her appearance improved, Concubine De was often summoned by the emperor, so Fu Jin stopped bringing Rouze into the palace for fear of causing trouble. With previous experience as a foundation, Rouze was not afraid of Concubine De and responded generously.
Liu Youyou was much more silent, and would often answer only when Defei asked. It wasn't because she was afraid, Liu Youyou was just imitating Yixiu's behavior in her previous life, and she was afraid that being different would cause a butterfly effect.
Time passed quickly, and it was time to leave the palace again. Fu Jin and his party returned home with the rewards from Concubine De. Concubine De sat in the main seat, receiving a bamboo massage. She had to observe the two princesses and keep looking for topics to talk about, which was not easy.
