Wen Jiao has no reason to shirk the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace this year.She asked Daiyu what she meant, so she didn't take her with her, and let Daiyu have some fun with Mrs. Ge Fengshi at home.

I and Lin Hai drove to the gate of the palace, and the soldiers divided into two groups, one went to Taiji Hall, and the other went to Changle Palace.

If Wen Jiao had come to the palace banquet last year, she would not have known many people in the room.After all, palace banquets are different from ordinary banquets. Everyone is looking for stability, and without saying anything, they show off their long-sleeved and good at dancing at the palace banquet.

At that time, Wen Jiao could only face a group of unknown wives and try hard to explore.Although no one would offend her for nothing, it was embarrassing to think about it.

Now Wen Jiao is familiar with most of these high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, but he is not familiar with them. At least he can know their names and surnames.

Thinking about it this way, the child Qingyu came at the right time, allowing her to have a one-year buffer period to gradually get acquainted with various families in Beijing.

Her seat was arranged at the first table under Mrs. Bai, and there were all Mrs. Shang Shu, Mrs. Shi Lang, a scholar, etc., all of whom were old acquaintances.

After nodding to Mrs. Bai, Wen Jiao concentrated on chatting and laughing softly with the ladies at his table.

Palace banquets are not very interesting.Although the singing and dancing are exquisite, the tunes and dances are all standard and appropriate to the occasion, which is very festive.

When Wen Jiao was in the palace, he also went to the music department of the Shangyi Bureau several times, and listened to their rehearsal of new songs, which were innovative and pleasant.Now that Mr. Li Sile is still at home, I don't have to worry about not having good songs to enjoy.

In the spring, Wen Jiao ordered people to go to the south of the Yangtze River to buy 24 bright girls, all of whom were not very old, the youngest was six or seven years old, and the oldest was only ten years old.

After receiving them from the mansion, first order someone to teach them to read a few books, learn some rules and principles of life.After learning well, I will ask Mr. Li and Shuimao Weimao (who is good at cooking) to pick out the best ones and be their apprentices.

The rest have to choose six with good voices, and find a master to learn opera and music.The rest will be handed over to Bai Lu Baishuang to bring it out and order it in the future.

Wen Jiao remembered that in the original book, the twelve little opera singers of Jia's family had learned opera and were unreasonable. After they were assigned to serve in the garden, they caused many troubles.

At this time, when the opera troupe trains young opera singers, they will deliberately cultivate their arrogance, so that they can sing the heroine and heroine more decently.

But singing can't sing for a lifetime.After the three or five years of being popular, if the temper does not change, life will be difficult in the future.

Wen Jiao just wanted to enrich his entertainment activities, and he didn't have to go outside to hire a theater troupe during the holidays.I don't intend to raise the children crookedly because of this.

Therefore, let them read and write first, learn some rules and principles in their hearts, and then develop other skills.It’s not that if you change jobs in the future, you won’t be able to adapt.

This is the inspiration that Wen Jiao found from the small selection in the palace.Although the servants of Lin's mansion are of good quality, they are not as good as Bailu, Baishuang, Yuxue and Yumei when they do things.

Therefore, Wen Jiao stipulated that from now on, only girls who can learn to recognize commonly used characters and can memorize the family rules of the Lin family can be promoted to the second class.Otherwise, no matter how old you are, you are only allowed to be a third-class girl.

Unless the craftsmanship is outstanding, the needlework is excellent or the cooking skills are excellent, the requirements can be relaxed.

Among the girls on Wen Jiao's side, the four first-class girls all came from the palace, needless to say their quality.

Gu Yu and Xiaoman have served Wen Jiao for more than two years. Through the precepts and deeds of the first-class maids, they can also know thousands of characters in their stomachs.These two girls were also very helpful in the settlement and return of accounts before this year.

Han Lu Hanshuang, who still occupies the positions of the other two second-class maids, is currently studying hard with Shui Nanny.Wen Jiao planned to give Daiyu a dowry when the two maids left school.

Among the four second-class Lan Xiangjin Xiangqingwen Xueyan in Daiyu's room, Lan Xiangjinxiang is a little older, sixteen or seventeen, so it is hard to study.

But Qingwen and Xueyan both got the chance to learn to read, and one was more serious than the other.Lan Xiangjinxiang was unwilling to be left behind by her younger sisters (Qingwen was 13 years old and Xueyan was only 11 years old), so she had to work hard to learn how to read and write.

Wen Jiao was socializing with his wives, while thinking that the maids around Daiyu had been pretty good in the past two years, so there was no need to change them for now.

Over there, Queen Su called her: "Sister——"

The attention of the entire main hall was drawn to Wen Jiao. Wen Jiao got up and saluted, seeing Empress Su with a smile on her face and asked, "Why didn't you bring Yu'er here today?"

Wen Jiao replied with a smile: "Yu'er said that if she came, no one would be at home to watch over her brother, so she didn't want to come."

"I thought, it's freezing outside here, and it's not easy to go out. So I left her at home to look after the house."

Empress Su's voice was slightly reproachful: "You are out of confinement, and you didn't come into the palace to see me. It can be seen that you have children, so you forget about me as a sister. It is really difficult to see you."

Wen Jiao knew that Empress Su was deliberately making faces for her and Daiyu Qingyu, and said with a smile, "Please forgive my sister, and I will bring the children to see my sister in a few years."

Empress Su nodded, and asked again: "How are Yang Jiaoyu and Li Sile teaching?"

Wen Jiao hurriedly said a lot of good things about Mr. Yang and Mr. Li, including thanking her sister for her kindness.

Empress Su smiled and said, "Our children should be like this. Please sit down, it's tiring to stand."

Wen Jiao smiled and sat down again, knowing why Empress Su insisted on saying such a few words at the palace banquet.It turned out that he wanted to take advantage of this incident to beat Jia's house, and by the way, to give her some face.

After beating Jia's mansion, should I give another big stick, or a sweet date?

Thinking that Jia's mansion should not have fallen in the original book, Wen Jiao tended to give a sweet date.Besides, no matter what it is, just listen to the news when the time comes.

So Wen Jiao guessed for a while, put the matter aside, and started to connect with the wives at the same table.

When Jia Mu heard that the empress asked about Daiyu, she was still happy for Daiyu.It seems that Yu'er is really doing very well, even the empress wants to take care of her.

But at the end, when Queen Su said "our child" with deep meaning, Mother Jia's heart sank.

Recalling that when Mrs. Su gave birth, she wanted to order someone to give a gift, but Brother Feng tried her best to stop him from doing so.

It was only then that Mother Jia realized that this was the meaning of Su's and Mrs. Su's intentions to stay away from their Jia's.

But my family has never offended the Su family and Mrs. Su...

Could it be that the empress felt displeased when she saw that your concubine was favored?

But there are also concubine Zhou and concubine Wu in the palace, but I don't see the concubine beating the Zhou family and the Wu family too much.

After all, it was above the palace banquet, so Mother Jia didn't want to think too much about it.

After the banquet and returning home, the house was full of excitement again, and the juniors all came up to pay New Year's greetings.

Thinking of the words of Empress Su in the palace, and then thinking of the current situation of Jia's mansion.Except for the empress in the palace, there is no one in the family who is promising.

At the palace banquet, only her old lady was invited, unlike last year, even Li Youshi from Dongfu was invited.This year, she didn't even invite the respectable mother of the noble concubine, Mrs. Wang.

Mother Jia was worried, and couldn't help but look carefully at the children who came up to pay New Year's greetings.

Needless to say, Jia Amnesty is still the same old way of dawdling.

Jia Zheng was also ordered to contemplate at home for a year because of accepting bribes, and he was not allowed to go out for a year.

Originally, his official position was not high, but the emperor rewarded him in the face of the old minister.He was not allowed to go out and walk around. After a year passed, whether he could still have the position of foreign minister was still a matter of debate.

Besides, Jia Zheng is also in his 40s and almost [-] years old.Even if the competent official is restored to his post a year later, what benefit can a person of this age gain if he did not pass the imperial examination seriously?

Although Lian'er can manage the house and govern affairs, she will still have the title of third-class general in the future.But the third-class general is nothing more than a false title, and he can't do it well, so he just receives a salary to live on his laurels.

Baoyu is good, smart, and looks like his grandfather.

Mother Jia watched Baoyu come up to pay New Year's greetings, and found that Baoyu had almost grown into a young man, and she was 11 years old after the New Year.

Originally, she could still say that 11 years old is not very old, she is still just a child, so what can she do if she has been naughty for two years?

But this year, Mrs. Su first asked Feng Geer to bring her a message, saying that "men and women have different seats at seven years old."

Later, Yingchun and Tanchun were two directors who learned to be housekeepers.These two children Yingchun is only one year older than Baoyu, and Tanchun is two years younger than Baoyu, so they can share the worries of their elders and family members.

Baoyu is still a man, if he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun every day, and doesn't study hard and make progress, it will be too shameful.

Thinking of this, Mother Jia beckoned him to come forward, and asked, "I'm going to school with Rong's daughter-in-law's younger brother this year, is there any benefit?"

Baoyu has never heard from Jiamu telling him to study and improve, so he was stunned when he heard it today.

Mother Jia looked at him helplessly, and without waiting for Baoyu to speak, she ordered Jia Zheng: "You will not go out this year, so I will give Baoyu to you. Take him to study hard."

"Just one thing, don't push the child to death. If you burn the child's body by lighting a lamp every day, I will still find you."

As soon as Jia Mu said this, everyone in the room was stunned.Baoyu couldn't believe her eyes and ears!

But seeing that his father was overjoyed, he agreed to his grandmother almost with gratitude, and his mother was also smiling, so Baoyu couldn't say the words of refusal.

The grandmother said to him again: "You are too old, and even the sisters have started to manage the house. As a man, you can't be inferior to your sisters and sisters."

"You just follow your father to study, if he forces you, you still come and tell me."

Looking at the New Year's Eve to keep the year old, all the people of the clan are here, so Baoyu had to reluctantly agree first.Thinking about grinding grandma later, this matter will be over.

Unexpectedly, Mother Jia made up her mind to let him study hard and make progress.Before the first month passed, it was only the sixteenth day of the first month, so he was sent to study with his father.

Because of Queen Su's words, Jia's mother has not had a good life for many years, almost day and night wondering why Queen Su said that.

She couldn't figure it out by herself, and she didn't want to tell King Xing about it, so she had to order someone to find Brother Feng and tell her about the night of the palace banquet.

As soon as Wang Xifeng heard it, she knew that the matter of Jia Mu's post was not over yet.She didn't expect that there would be a follow-up to this matter.

Besides, Mrs. Su is such a kind-hearted person, isn't she the kind of person who waits for revenge?Wang Xifeng couldn't understand it.

And although she knew the reason, it was the elders' fault after all, so it's hard to explain clearly.

But since Jia's mother asked, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to say a few words in a cryptic manner, saying that the Su family had a noble family and his daughter became a step-wife, so she was reluctant at first.

Our family is the original spouse's family, so we always go to the Lin Mansion to greet her, isn't it poking Mrs. Su's heart?
