[Red Mansion] His mouth was opened

Since ancient times, the affairs of the Tian family have been the top priority. Moreover, the top masters have all spoken, and they must be done quickly, not slowly. In addition, there are four princes who are watching in person, and the entire court is tense. Nervous, not daring to steal or play tricks, the efficiency was amazingly fast for a while.

As far as choosing a companion to read, it is not difficult at all. There are always old rules to follow, and it is not impossible to copy the old rules directly.

But this time the selection of companions is different. In the past, when choosing companions, most of the princes and concubines chose candidates, and after speaking with the Holy One, the imperial decree was issued, and it was over.

This time, they were selected among the rich and powerful children in the capital. There are not many rich and powerful children in the capital, and there are only one rich and powerful children. According to the folk saying, even if they are guarding the gates of the city, they may be children of some declining family. .

This scope has expanded more than ten times at once, and the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are in charge of this matter are so worried that their hair is graying.

Fortunately, there is still an age limit, more than ten years old and under 20 years old, if so, the total number of people is at least three or four hundred.

Although 400 people were a little too many, the officials gritted their teeth and managed to cope with it.

But here comes the question again, how should I choose this time?How to choose?

These are big questions again.

Morning of the day.

All civil and military officials in the court quarreled over this matter.

At this moment, although there are not many people who know the reason behind the selection of companion reading, none of them want their children to miss this good opportunity in vain because of the name of the prince's companion reading.

Who doesn't know, the sage is old, old and frail, he might go back a hundred years in a few years.

At that time, as the accompanying reader of the new emperor's confidant, he will be able to achieve great success just around the corner.

Only a fool would let his children let this opportunity go!

Since this is the case, then the choice of which method to choose will naturally lead to disputes.

These days, there are not many people who are all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and many are partial subjects, just like the youngest son of Zuo Xiang's family who really didn't have any talent. He wrote poems at the age of three and wrote Fu at the age of five. He was praised as a child prodigy by the saint At the age of 13, he is a Juren, but he is not good at riding and shooting. He can't lift his shoulders or lift his hands. You let him die than riding and shooting.Also, Ji Liang, the grandson of Ji Ruiwen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is also capable of literature but not martial arts. These two rivals have rarely unified their caliber, claiming to choose companions for the princes, so naturally they can choose literary talents. Otherwise, why should they accompany several princes to study?

As soon as these words came out, it was like pouring water into a pan of oil, and the generals immediately disagreed.

Without them throwing their heads and blood at the border, those civil servants could drive the barbarians away by opening their mouths? !

All of a sudden, the public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right.

At the end, Old General Chen rolled up his sleeves without any scruples, and directly fought with Prime Minister Zuo.

Two old guys who were over fifty years old grabbed each other's beards, and that was not a light hand at all.

On this point, the little eunuch who cleaned up later can testify that there are several beards on the ground, which are still bloodshot, and it hurts to look at them.

"Okay, I'm already old, and I'm still acting like this." The majesty was not too angry. It's a good thing that the civil and military officials are not right. If they are right, he will be the one who is troubled. The mountain behind the courtyard is a good time for hunting, when the time comes, it will only be based on personal ability, not martial arts, and this time it is a few of them who will choose to accompany you, so it is up to them to choose."

The Holy Majesty is not here to select some talented generals. These imperial examinations every three years can select a group, so why bother.

"Yes." Everyone had to hold back even if they had opinions in their hearts.

Down in the morning.

The matter of choosing companions for the princes to read has spread completely.

In the past, only a few people in the powerful circle knew about it, but now even the traffickers and pawns in the streets and alleys knew about it.

"Cough cough." Mrs. Wang wore a plain gold-edged forehead band with dark patterns on her forehead, and she leaned on the couch with a sick expression on her face.

The imperial doctor who was invited felt the pulse through the veil, twisted his beard in his hands, and muttered: "Madam, this disease is caused by anger, and heart disease needs heart medicine. I will prescribe a prescription for you to get rid of the fire. But in the final analysis, Madam has to relax."

Mrs. Wang's complexion changed, she pursed her lips, "Thank the imperial physician, Caixia, you follow the imperial physician to write prescriptions and get medicine."

After sending the imperial doctor away, Mrs. Wang had an angry look on her face. She was so ill that she was unseemly. Ever since she tried to disgrace Jia Huan that day but failed, she had been coughing all night when she came back. Mrs. Wang didn't take it seriously at first. As a result, Jia Huan used excuses to withdraw money from time to time these days. Mrs. Wang didn't care about the money, but she didn't want to give it to Jia Huan!She would rather feed the silver to the dog than give it to Jia Huan.But I have to give it.

All of a sudden, the anger hurts the liver, and the cough immediately worsens.

Mrs. Wang originally invited a doctor to come and see her, but the doctor didn't keep his mouth tight and casually revealed the cause of the disease.

This time, it's good.

Everyone in the whole family knew that Mrs. Wang was stingy and stingy, and she died of anger when she gave Mr. Huan a few taels of silver to buy paper and pens.

Jia Huan got the money and ruined her reputation. Mrs. Wang became angrier all of a sudden, and her condition worsened instantly, further confirming the rumor.

Jia Zheng was originally ill, and he was also ill. However, his illness came and went quickly, and he recovered within a few days.

Hearing this kind of words, Jia Zheng became even more displeased with Mrs. Wang, and didn't come to ask Mrs. Wang for several days.

"Madam." Zhou Rui's family came in with the medicine that had just been boiled.

Mrs. Wang opened her eyes weakly. In order not to get angry, she had already avoided Jia Huan to pay her respects. After all, she didn't want to really realize that she was stingy.

Zhou Rui's family helped Mrs. Wang to sit up.

She raised her eyelids, and nodded to Mrs. Wang indistinctly.

Mrs. Wang coughed again, "Go down."

Caixia, Jin Chuan and others walked out tactfully and closed the door behind them.

Zhou Rui's family waited on Mrs. Wang to drink the medicine, and said in a low voice: "Madam, this servant has found out, it is indeed to choose companions for the princes to read."

Mrs. Wang swallowed the bitter medicine, but her eyes were astonishingly bright, and she couldn't wait to ask: "In that case, is Baoyu on the list?"

Zhou Rui's family nodded: "Second Master Bao has only learned from others, so naturally he is above him."

I can't blame Zhou Rui's family for being so trusted by Mrs. Wang. Just what she said is worth learning. What kind of talents can be learned from others? Those in the capital who are of the right age and with acceptable family conditions are all on the list. When she said this, it seemed that Jia Baoyu Only those who have learned are on the roster.

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed for a while, Baoyu was born with jade, it really has a great fortune, and it is not in vain for her to love him.

When she was happy, she thought of Jia Huan, "Is that person on the list?"

Zhou Rui's family murmured, "Master Huan and Mr. Huan are also up there."

"What!" Mrs. Wang's face turned purple with anger, "What is he, he can be on the roster."

Zhou Rui's family knew that Mrs. Wang really hated Jia Huan this time, otherwise she would not have said such things in front of her servants given that she was from a famous family.

"Madam, don't worry." Zhou Rui's family hurriedly comforted Mrs. Wang, "The tenth day of the lunar new year has not yet arrived, if something happens during this period, for example, if you get sick, you can't go to Mr. Huan, and you can't blame anyone. Can blame him for his own life."

Zhou Rui's family had already thought that Mrs. Wang would be furious before they came, so they had already thought of a way to deal with it.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Wang heard this, her anger disappeared immediately. There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she said with a half-smile: "Don't play tricks, come up with any ideas, and when it's done tomorrow, Madam will naturally I will reward you."

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly thanked, "Ma'am, the slave is thinking, Ma'am, you have been sick for a while, Third Master Huan should have come to take care of the sick. He is busy with this matter, so he must not know what happened outside. It doesn't matter whether you are sick or not, once the matter is over, it doesn't matter if Third Master Huan is annoyed again!"

Mrs. Wang nodded slowly, with a venomous gleam in her eyes, she would never give Jia Huan a chance!

However, she alone cannot do this.For Baoyu, she had to make a good plan.

Mrs. Wang drank the medicine and fell into a deep sleep all afternoon.

When she woke up, Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan waited and changed into clean and decent clothes to greet Jia Mu.

I don't know what she said to Jia's mother.

That night, Jia Zheng was summoned by Jia's mother, and the mother and son talked about a cup of tea. When Jia Zheng came out with a gloomy face, he went to Aunt Zhou's place.

The next day, Jia Huan got the news that Mrs. Wang asked him to take care of her illness.

It is common for the concubine to serve the sick mother.

Whether Jia Huan recognized it or not, Mrs. Wang was his mother on the surface. Jia Huan could call Aunt Zhao his mother in private, but in front of everyone, he could only call Mrs. Wang his mother.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang was seriously ill, and it was a matter of course for him to serve the sick.

Although, everyone knows that this is a way for the aunt to rub the concubine and the concubine, just like Mrs. Wang made Tanchun serve the sick before.

Aunt Zhao paced back and forth in the room, muttering non-stop, "Didn't you say that you were excused at first? Why are you sent to serve the sick again now?"

Jia Huan propped his chin, held the book in one hand, and said casually: "Maybe I'm crazy."

If he were Mrs. Wang, he would definitely not put an annoying person under his nose, especially when he was sick. Wouldn't this be putting himself in trouble?

Madam Wang really wants to take this opportunity to rub herself?

Jia Huan stretched her waist, it seemed that another good show was about to start.
