Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

The Ministry of Officials appointed officials from the fourth rank and below. This time, the emperor finally did not draw. It was the Ministry of Officials who came to announce and transfer Lian Tongzhi to work as a grain messenger in Shandong.

How do you say military generals hold civilian positions?Did Jia Lian Tongzi inherit his ancestor's post in the world, and Tong Zhiben was a civil servant, because of his false title, no one cared about the distinction between civil and military.This time it was serious and logical, all five grades, flat tone.The only thing wrong is to come to the door to publicize the tune, and Lian Er should be summoned.

The officials of the Ministry of Officials were very polite, and specifically told them that it was still early to harvest the autumn grain, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival at home, it would not be too late to take office in September, and it would not take a month to get to Shandong.

This is clearly a thoughtful way to give Lian patriarch, no, it is time for Lian's profiteers to explain the first and last.Today, don't mention that many people are appointed only by virtue. I never thought that because of the merits of the Red House, Lian Er would be put on the Ministry of Industry.

Lian Er was full of smiles, swallowing bitter water, he never thought of becoming an official, but going to Shandong where the second prince killed many officials!

Baoyu was also struck by thunder, complaining that the teacher did not disclose any news to herself, wondering whether to let Master Xi die, so that Lian Er can be Ding You!Immediately there was a shock: no way!It was not accidental that the Shandong food poor fell into Rongfu twice.Last time, I made a fake father who fell and broke his leg and didn't do it. This time, Jia Lian put on an official hat and the Rong Mansion simply died. Maybe the emperor's old man caught fire and ordered him to investigate the cause of Jia She's death. Then he would definitely die. is the number of amateurs.

Sacred will, holy will, his political brain can also guess that it must be the holy will that Rong Mansion must go to Shandong to do food work!

Although it was the Ministry of Officials who came to announce Jia Lian, but that time Jia Zheng was entrusted with the Shandong Food Commissioner, and what was issued was an imperial decree!Moreover, if there is no holy will to drive the lineage of the Ning Mansion back to Jinling, the branch sect will be delayed.So, don't blame the senior brother or anything, everyone knows that today's people are keen on convulsions, and if you think about it, it's a... Well, don't blame the one on the dragon chair, he thinks that if he is the boss of the company, he won't copy something. Veteran employees must also work for the employees. It is unrealistic to dream of living in the shadow of their ancestors all the time.

However, everyone in the Rong family, except for the brothers and sisters in trouble, was all overjoyed. It must be known that even the grain shortage in the south of the Yangtze River is not as good as the grain shortage in Shandong.

The old lady was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. In her eyes, begging for an official is different from the emperor's rewarding an official. She tried her best to beg for an official, just like a slave trying to please her, forcing her, which master would be happy?The master is willing to reward, which is another matter.Shandong grain poor, well-known fat poor, the emperor rewarded the Jia family again and again, which shows that Long Chong.

Mr. Zheng couldn't help but twirled his beard and exhorted him to sympathize with him, to repay the grace of God, and so on.

You said he wasn't afraid that Lian Er would leave and no one would take care of his affairs?He didn't know anything about general affairs, so he thought it would be easy to mention.The position of patriarch is not a problem, Jia Lian is not the only one who is an official patriarch, besides, the old Jia's family has a patriarch, Jia Daixiu is a few years younger than the old lady, and he is in good health, and the patriarch does everything for himself. reason.Waiting for the elders to take care of him, Jia Cong grew up, and the concubine took care of the common affairs.

Lian and Bao only had tears in their stomachs when Mr. Zheng said so in a literal way.

Master Xi saw that his son didn't want to do it in every possible way, what a great fat job, he must not lose it!So he said something to Xiang Li.

Xiang Lian Yu Ai, unable to do other errands, serving Jia She's illness became their serious job, directly treating themselves as slaves, today the two personally carried Master She to the banquet in a soft sedan chair.On weekdays, they not only have to serve Mr. She well, and Madam Xing cannot offend, but they also have to do well the tasks entrusted by Mr. Lian and Mr. Bao, which is really not easy.When the sect was divided, if there was no way they coaxed Jia Amnesty, the disturbance was not limited to that.

Xiang Lian came over and bowed her ear to say this, Lian Er's wine glass almost dropped in shock: Cong'er has grown to the age of kissing!

Master She said that as long as he honestly becomes an official, he will have the final say on Jia Cong's marriage.

Lian Er thinks so much of his concubine younger brother that he dare not have any wrong thoughts.

The old lady's birthday dinner ended like this amidst joy and sorrow.

Officials sent away early, and there were no outside guests at the banquet at home, and the brothers and sisters in trouble sneaked into the east room of Baosha in the blink of an eye.

Bao's heart had turned a few times, and he said to Brother Nan that the selection of officials for the third year of junior high school was very particular about publicizing tunes, and that the fun came second. Tomorrow is the family banquet, and the patriarch can explain everything in the clan; Guanlu, isn't this a banquet for the governor of the capital, the officials and the imperial order? On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, a banquet for relatives and friends, please ask relatives and friends to take care of the Rongfu; on the last day, there are decent servants in the mansion to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, and the patriarch admonishes the servants in the family , explain the family affairs...

Patriarch Lian could only smile wryly, and hastily unfolded the thin tissue paper, saying, "I'll talk about it later, I'll write a letter to Feige to Jinling, and let the commercial line deport Brother Cong to Beijing! It can't be done urgently within six hundred miles, so hurry up." Running three hundred miles can always be done, at least we can meet up."

Baoyu waited for him to finish writing, and reminded: "Write another letter to my cousin Feng. From now on, there must be no demon moths. You may turn around at any time!"

Lian Er's face fell down: "I will write one every month! But she... Brother Cong, I feel more at ease in Jinling. Now I only hope that she will see the Zhen family's destruction, the bloody skirt case, and the Ning Mansion being driven back to Jinling." Be alert one or two."

Baoyu said coldly: "Let me mention how well-behaved sister Qiao is, and hint that a certain man is strong. Then Yun Guangnian is full of power and prosperity, and suddenly it disappears for no reason. A magistrate who was dismissed from office also mentions it, she will not Forgot about Brother Jin’s case. It’s okay to write about it before, but what time is it now?

Lian Er wrote this kind of letter when he was old, and he wrote it in a short time. He ordered Mingshou to send the letter to Xue's family and bring it back to Xue's brothers.

Baoyu poured hot tea for him with her own hands, and regretted: "If I had known this day, I would have bowed down and coaxed the Confucian mansion!"

Shandong, the hometown of Confucius!Lian Er smiled bitterly, and patted the troubled brother on the shoulder: "Scholars talk about character, and I'm afraid it's not good to be too humble. When we come to the door, we just try to be humble and humble, and ask Kong Shilang for advice. After all, we are in-laws, so it's hard to be Jia. How can the Confucian family look good? Scholars are the most concerned about face."

Baoyu said: "Let's think about the available official relations for a while. Someone will definitely send them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will deal with them at that time. The servants you bring to the post, it is better not to be active enough, and absolutely not to bring disaster to the master. The food is poor. It’s too easy to accept bribes. If you have no faults in your position, you will be credited! The son in the mansion who has a big heart and a heart, is he unwilling to play any tricks? I mean, not one of them! Pick three and take them away, and leave one for me... Forget it, just take them all away! It's just bodyguards, and I'll pick them from the 'servant'. Give me back the tea smoke and sweep the red, and the two of them will add hoe medicine to help take care of the general affairs .Our bright and dark lines, domestic and foreign affairs, and those restless clan relatives, we must be smart and well-connected to keep an eye on them."

Lian Er nodded: "The servant wants to be responsible, but the master needs to be scheming. This person should be recommended by Kong Shilang."

Baoyu didn't have much confidence in his father-in-law, so he gritted his teeth and said, "It's best if he's willing to recommend someone. If he refuses, I'll go and ask my teacher, the Zhang family!"

During the discussion between the two, Xue Pan and Xue Biao rushed to the house stepping on the watch (nine o'clock in the evening) with bangs and hissing.

The Xue family brothers were very excited, not at all nervous that Uncle Lian could no longer take care of the Xue family by himself.A real job can protect business lines better than a false job, and the Xue family does not only open a shop in the capital, but has to restrain themselves under the feet of the emperor.

The Jia brothers felt it was an eyesore, and each of them threatened them with hatred, which effectively extinguished the flames of their excitement.

So and so, even bluffing and counting, all the way to midnight, the Xue family brothers lived in Baoxia.

Finally, after washing and resting, Baoyu couldn't fall asleep, and it was useless to light the soothing incense. He just felt that the autumn tiger was boring, and he simply entered the five-colored stone space that he hadn't entered for a long time, and complained loudly: "I thought I was divided into sects, but I am finally stable. There is such a variable, it is only for fear that the Lord will not die!"

Wu Caishi was disturbed by his quarrel, and scolded: "Then go and die yourself! Don't bother me! I'm in samadhi!"

The fake stone curled his lips, and a Yin stone also called himself "Master", but he didn't dare to talk anymore, and muttered to himself: It's another five years, wrong, it's six years, but I don't dare to count it according to the actual age, and I have to survive until my 21st birthday. Only dare to say that the first life hurdle has passed.

Flipping through the original work of Red Chamber with only [-] chapters, I lamented that he no longer had the golden finger to know the "plot", and lamented that Gao E's continuation was not all nonsense. Gao E was an official of the Qing Dynasty, so what he wrote had a basis in reality. For example, it is impossible to add a bunch of official titles to Jia Zheng, who is not from the imperial court, but looking at the present, not only did he dare to award the pedantic official Jia Zheng as a food servant, but Jia Lian, the representative figure of Wu Xun anointing Liangzi, has five real positions and one security. Poor food!Anyway, there is no shortage of officials, if you don't do well, you will be dismissed from office all the way to beheaded!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

On August [-]th, an auspicious day for travelling, Lian's Er Baoyu, Qin Zhong, Jinrong and others sent Ning Guogong's lineage to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.Mr. Zheng didn't come, he was the most polite, and if he was divided, he would be irrelevant.

Fake Shitou didn't dare to think that way, he was desperate for this cruel world, but he had to know that Jinling still had a very capable Sister Feng, who knew if she would get involved with Zhen Rongqiang?As long as He Li didn't "die", Sister Feng was the wife of the patriarch of the Rong Mansion, but now there is really no one to watch her, the people sent by the clan will only follow her to make trouble, the servants are useless, Sister Feng will be wiped out in a few moves.

If Sister Feng knew, she would crush him to death!She doesn't care about her elder brother who deserved to die long ago, but her own daughter is in the hands of Lian Er. Could it be that she is an evil woman who doesn't even care about her children?

Besides, brother Jiang, no, it's brother Cheng, brother Cheng is still young, she doesn't need to rush to show her face, she happens to be hiding in the mansion, and pretends to be a sister-in-law.Damn my sister-in-law, she died of illness!Otherwise, she can think about remarrying or something.Once the sister-in-law dies, if the mother is too old to protect brother Cheng, she can only pretend to be the sister-in-law.The two are first cousins, so they were five or six points alike.The sister-in-law's parents died early, and there was only a concubine brother whom she hadn't seen a few times, otherwise she would not have married Wang Ren. It was her mother who raised her niece as a daughter, and she had a well-matched daughter-in-law.

Therefore, Sister Feng will never meet Zhen Rongqiang and You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they are so familiar with her.

Yes, Youshi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also went south. It was Jia Zhen who said,

Jia Zhen is an asshole in every way, but one is good. He is not responsible for those who have had an affair with him, at least he will not take the initiative to harm them.For example, a certain village girl at the foot of the mountain in Xuanzhen Guan, if she were to be replaced by another man, she would definitely not be allowed to go home. Who knows if the thing bought with money died in the backyard?The village girl wanted to go home when she was dying, so he sent someone to send her back, not thinking about how bad the outside world would say about him.Why doesn't Third Sister You hate him?After she entered Shuiyue Nunnery, Jia Zhen took care of her, but she ignored her, and Jia Zhen didn't do anything to her, and let her worship the Buddha.Before leaving, she wanted to redeem her, saying that Shuiyuean was a prostitute, but she didn't believe it at all, so she drove Jia Zhen away with a stick.

For Jia Zhen, Youshi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are naturally superior to the bastards. As long as he is alive, the two women will not be turned down by Rong Qiang.It's good to have such a point, and he can be regarded as the reward, but if he doesn't lead his nephew to his own death, there will always be a stable life.

The captain of the ship is long, and even Jia Qiang is moving.The management of Zong Rong Mansion and Xue Xia's family, everyone on and off the pier was courteous, and their shipment went smoothly.Even some Gaoliang teenagers didn't realize that today is different from before, and they were excited about the long journey.

Jia Qiang raised money for more than half a year, and felt that the world was cold and cold. After drinking the farewell wine, she suddenly knelt down and cried, "Second Uncle! Let my nephew call you Second Uncle again! Second Uncle Lian and Second Uncle Bao, go back, nephew." My son can no longer be filial at the knees!"

Lian and Baocai didn't want his filial piety, so they pulled him up with their arms around his waist, one of them said: "You can't do it! Kill the lower officials! How can there be three ranks worshiping five ranks!" The other was concerned, With tears in his eyes, he said: "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever! The ancestral graves are connected, and the sacrifice fields are next to each other. Jinling is our root. We will go back to our hometown in the future, and you should go to your hometown first."

Lian Er was also sad, sniffing his nose and said: "Nephew, don't look at Uncle's real job, the food is poor! Uncle has never been an official, so it is not good. I am ashamed of Shengen. I am afraid that Uncle will die soon. When I return to Jinling, my nephew will take care of me."

For a while, the uncles and nephews hugged each other and cried three times. This was just holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes.

Qin Zhong, Jin Rong, and others with well-developed lacrimal glands cried loudly, and all the surrounding servants sobbed.Passers-by who didn't know the truth were puzzled. If they thought to themselves, was this a demoted official?Isn't that supposed to cry and see you off at the Teai Pavilion?

Finally the fleet set sail, Lian and Bao looked at each other, but they didn't feel much joy in their hearts.The servant at the other end led the horse, and they both turned on the horse and walked silently.They still have many things to discuss with their staff.

Don't look at the Kong family's ordinary life, but they are reliable in major matters. Kong Shilang didn't recommend a master, but four veteran staff members, which are equivalent to a small staff team. The officer will go up.

Fake Stone couldn't help feeling grateful for the great help of the Kong family. After gritting his teeth, he had to treat Miss Kong Er kindly.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Time passed amidst Jia Liangchai's intensive fundraising, and all the children of the family who wanted to follow Lian Erye to take office all fell through, and Zhao Tianliang brothers were also left to Jia Cong by Lian Erye.

Unexpectedly, Ping'er was promoted to be his concubine, and he will go to the post with Lian Er.Why not Xing Xiuyan?She put it on her stomach again, and it was only half a year before the coriander fell into the grass. If she would be scolded by the doctor in the 21st century, the ancients didn't understand, and they only talked about having more children and more blessings.

It is the best opinion of Mu Liao to carry an aunt with her to the post.

As a result, Lian Er's two concubines were full, and no one could give him a concubine.

The candidate for the accompanying aunt is very important, she has to act as the mistress to socialize, and she has to control the women who can't be pushed away, such as those sent by Shangfeng.After Lian Er thought about it, only Ping'er, who was safe and resourceful, could be used.Ping'er is naturally not happy, Lian Er wants her to help and dare not force her, and promises that she can follow sister Qiao in the future, so Qin Zhong's only son, doesn't he live with Yue's family?

Uh, Qin Zhong has passed the Ming road, and Lian Er relied on his family's desire for him to be an official official, so he made it public in one fell swoop.Although Jia's mother was annoyed, He Lian was Qiao's biological father, and Jia Amnesty didn't take it seriously, so she had to let it go.

Tongfang Qiutong was sent to serve sister Qiao.This is Fake Shitou's great opinion, he thinks Qin Zhong is too weak, he can only polish sister Qiao so that she can learn how to deal with troublesome servants.Anyway, with Tanchun Baoqin, Daiyu Li Wan and others looking after her, sister Qiao couldn't suffer.

Bao Ping, who was suspected of being a spy, took office. Lian, Bao and his staff all agreed that it was of great benefit. It showed that Lian Er was not afraid of the investigation, and he could also be alert to himself, so as not to let his servants do illegal activities.

On August 28, Jia Cong returned home after a long journey, pitifully thin and dry, but in good spirits.

It has to be said that he has a good mentality, Lian Er's official career is going well, and he is in charge of general affairs, so he can't even think about becoming an official;But he was as "comfortable" as before, without the slightest gloom.

On the contrary, Lian Er hugged his concubine brother and cried loudly, saying that he "missed the seeds of reading in the old Jia family".Jia Cong said with a smile that he passed the county test because he was lucky, but after the government test, he was fooled.

Lian Er was even more sad: "Who doesn't pass the government exam? After two or three exams, you will definitely pass! Second brother missed Cong'er!"

Whether it's a mistake or a grievance, the food errand for your life cannot be improper.Having seen my concubine brother, Lian Er doesn't want to procrastinate any longer. Every day, how many people at home and outside want to take advantage of it, it's annoying!

On September [-]st, Salei Pavilion, the male family members of the Rong Mansion, including the sick and tired Mr. She, the two children who can only climb the coriander, the political master Xiumu, Baoyu Jia Cong Jialan, Xiang Lianyu Ai who served Jia She Accompanying the servants, "low-key" sent Lian Er to his post.

To be low-key, Lian Er, as the patriarch, did not send any relatives to send him off, let alone outside relatives and friends; in quotation marks, it was Lian Er who drank the wine, threw the cup, and knelt in the direction of the Forbidden City and shouted: "Lian, Children and grandchildren of the Jia family! Going forward, you must do your best and work hard to repay the grace of God!" After saying this, he kowtowed, and his forehead was bleeding.

Why choose to travel on holidays?Since there are a lot of people who came to Salei Pavilion to see him off today, let everyone see how loyal the old Jia family is. If they don't do a good job, it must not be due to loyalty or lack of ability. I beg you to be dismissed from office!

The author has something to say: The new official: "What is the rope for?"
