Femme Beauty

For Jia Lian, the government test is not serious.In fact, it was very relaxed, he thought it might be because of studying with Lin Ruhai in the last few months.Many things that Mr. Yuan said were just memorized at the time but not integrated.Now that I do it, I find that it is very flexible.This is due to Lin Ruhai's explanation.Lin Ruhai is different from Mr. Yuan, he prefers to explain things in simple terms rather than enlightenment.This is very suitable for Jia Lian, who is a half-way monk, who didn't understand in the past life and has no one to teach him in the present life.

He didn't wait for the list, but went back to Yangzhou on the boat he boarded according to Lin Ruhai's previous instructions.After returning home, Lin Ruhai carried her into the study before cleaning up and warming up with his wife.

"What did you get?"

"The Book of Filial Piety and the Analects of Confucius, I have silently read the Book of Changes Ganjiu in the Xiaojing, Gongyang Chuan and Shangshu. There is also one selected, which was written by Huang Shigong. I have read them all, and I can write them silently. I just find it strange that what my uncle said before is that I don’t have this.”

Jia Lian called Lin Ruhai uncle, which was private.Because Jamin likes it.For pregnant women, no matter what the etiquette is, you have to give way first.After that, it gradually became a habit.Lin Ruhai also felt that this was also a closeness.Just call the teacher in front of people.

"It's just a book of war." Lin Ruhai nodded, he knew Jia Lian's ability to endorse.Don't worry about this.It's just that Tong Sheng has increased his book of tactics at the moment, probably because of the border war.He thought for a while and said: "You know that the frontier is tight. I just got the news. The nephew of your old lady, Baolinghou Shi Wei died in battle. His wife followed, and the remaining girl was brought in by the emperor. The imperial palace was raised by the empress. The one who inherits Marquis Baoling right now is his younger brother Shi Ding. Shi Nai named him Marquis Zhongjing. But these are not important. Your uncle Jia Jing in the Eastern Mansion was promoted to Minister of War after your father-in-law Later, he took over the position of your father-in-law. He became the garrison of the capital, and at the same time he was in charge of the firearms battalion, and had the right to make orders first. He also sent you a Jinshi named Jiang, who was in the same discipline as me, as an aide."

Lin Ruhai made it clear once, but Jia Lian was not so lucky.He opened his mouth and stared blankly at Lin Ruhai.He couldn't think of it, whether he had never understood this or the world had become different.The clan uncle who was confused and hypocritical, Jia Jing, who finally poisoned himself to death because of alchemy, was so capable.Or... is the emperor out of his mind?

Lin Ruhai could guess what he was thinking when he saw his expression.He reached out and took out a bamboo pole used to hang curtains and knocked Jia Lian on the head: "What are you thinking? The Holy Majesty must have his reasons for making such a decision. Besides, you are not a simple person to take the clan uncle."

"It's said that he's a hypocrite, and doesn't do business properly." Jia Lian rubbed his red forehead and muttered.

"There's nothing he can do about it." Lin Ruhai sighed, this deceit made even his family believe it.He handed Jia Lian the letter that Jia Jing had given him earlier: "Did you see the word on it?"

"Ghost?" Jia Lian thought about dealing with ghosts in her previous life.After much deliberation, a character appeared in my mind.When he was old and in Hangzhou, he heard some students say it.If the white-clothed Shengxue ghost scholar was still alive and led the army to block the attack, the dynasty would definitely not retreat to Jinling.He opened his mouth and asked in disbelief:

"Uncle Jing is...a ghost...that..." His teeth chattered a little.Ghost scholars, when they were children, used to scare them for a long time.But no matter what, he couldn't match his family book.

"He was the first-class Jinshi in the 22nd year of Zhenzong, after Ning Guogong. He was sent to Qingzhou for a full 15 years."

Jia Lian shook her head when she heard the words: "I just remember that when I was young, I said that he was an outsider. It's not a big deal. At that time, the old lady was devoted to the second uncle and brother Zhu, and my father was very concerned about it. Rarely seen. Later I heard that the master over there was not in good health, so he went home to fulfill his filial piety. After that, it was Ding You who returned to Jinling for three years. Even Big Brother Zhen, I actually didn’t know him very well. I just heard that he would Empress Ding You of Jinling once submitted a paper, saying that Big Brother Zhen was not worthy, and hoped to be reduced to the third rank. I don’t know whether the emperor approved it or not. Uncle should know, the capital was in chaos at that time.”

Lin Ruhai thought of Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei who had already robbed their families, and sighed: "It's no wonder! When Qingzhou fell, and the old emperor tarnished his name when he enshrined Zen Taishan, Qingzhou became a taboo. Basically, let alone Now that the capital is in the capital, even us officials who have been sent out will not talk about it. But Jia Jing is a capable person. No way, if the Beiman enters the pass, as long as he sits somewhere, he will be able to let the other party do not need soldiers and horses go back."

Hearing Lin Ruhai's exaggerated statement, Jia Lian felt a little unconcerned.But he didn't say it, but was very puzzled by the staff: "Why did you send a Jinshi here? I just passed the examination of Xiucai, and I don't know how to get the title?"

"Your patriarch gave 1000 taels of silver, and they don't need you for anything. They just serve as your staff, and they also served as the fifth-rank official in Qingzhou. Why don't you want to?" Lin Ruhai said to him. , but his tone also brought out his displeasure.Jia Lian was amused when he heard this, and rubbed his nose with his finger: "Look, uncle, you're not happy either. But... I think it's better not to waste my respect for my uncle, and it's okay to just raise an idler. .”

"I'm afraid I can't do it!" Lin Ruhai glared at him: "The man's surname is Jiang, and his name is Mao. He doesn't have a name. I don't know if he didn't say it or he didn't have it at all. I said it, if you come back from the exam, you will see him. You can figure it out yourself!"

As he spoke, he pulled out an account book from the side.At this time, it has entered autumn, and the sea salt is also harvested in summer.This time is precisely the busiest time for the salt administration, and salt tickets need to be issued.He waved his hand: "Go back and see your daughter-in-law, she's probably with your aunt right now. Go, go..."

Jia Lian smiled and bowed to leave.

He didn't go back to his small courtyard directly, but went to Jia Min's courtyard.At this time, Jia Min was walking slowly in the room with his waist supported, and Wang Xifeng carefully accompanied him.Seeing Jia Lian coming in, he quickly beckoned him to sit down.Then he sat down too, and asked the girl while pinching his legs and feet, "But how did you do in the exam?"

"It feels okay, but I don't know what the examiner thinks. Uncle said, I'm afraid it depends on the font and the way of cursive script. Because it's all silent script." Jia Lian sat on the side, and the maid brought him a bowl of sour plum soup.

"Your daughter-in-law specially prepared it for you, saying that she likes sweet drinks. Tete put a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus candies, and put them in the freezer early to wait for you." Jia Min smiled and looked at the young couple who were blushing. , I feel very happy.

When Jia Lian heard this, her neck and ears turned red.But the sweet and sour taste in his mouth made his heart extra sweet.I haven't seen each other for a few days, although they have not been in the same bed together because of studying.But it made him feel that life should be like this.

After drinking half a bowl of sweet and sour plum soup, he put down the bowl and looked at Jia Min: "Does my aunt know about Uncle Jing in Dongfu?"

"Your uncle told you?" Jia Min heard what his nephew wanted to ask.She smiled and looked at Wang Xifeng: "Your daughter-in-law is just like you, I'm afraid she won't believe it. When your uncle received the letter from Mr. Wang, he came back and told me that he couldn't match her. I think, yes It’s not true.”

Thinking of Jia Jing, Jia Min burst into laughter.She tilted her body: "Brother Jing, originally there was a prisoner who was under the influence. Logically speaking, as long as he reaches the age, he can directly enter the court as an official. But brother Jing is two years away from wearing the crown, I don't know why Suddenly decided to take the imperial examination. At that time, the whole East Mansion and our mansion were very lively. He went down to Jinling to take the exam and lived there for three years. It is said that his father and my father thought he was pure Playing tickets! Who knows, he actually passed the Jinshi. Not only that, but he also found the eldest daughter of the Yi family as his wife. But he has a very strange temper, and he went to Qingzhou in less than two years. I haven't had much contact with him. Your big brother Zhen was born in Qingzhou. After all, I was much younger at that time, and I always thought that if I was looking for a husband, I must be like him."

"Like him?" Jia Lian was very surprised by this sentence.

"White clothes win snow, ghost scholar. Isn't he the one you are talking about? He loves white clothes the most, and likes to use white on everything he uses. Even his posts are also decorated with white brocade. Once your old grandmother When I was still alive, I said that if the official uniform allowed, I am afraid that I would wear white."

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng set two adjectives for Jia Jing in her heart.One is: Mensao.The other is: cleanliness.

But Jia Lian didn't think that, after experiencing Jia Baoyu's liking for a bright red Jia Baoyu, it's not hard to accept this kind of liking for white.Moreover, it is also feasible for scholars to be romantic and clean.

After resting for a while, Lin Ruhai came back from the front yamen.He went into the inner room and changed into casual clothes before coming out, sat on the chair next to his wife, and asked softly, "What were you talking about just now?"

"Brother Jing!" Jia Min obviously found it very interesting about Jia Jing's influence on her husband and nephew.

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai realized that his wife probably took this as a joke.He shook his head helplessly: "You...you..." He sighed and decided to change the subject: "What are you having for lunch today?"

Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Min, and said with a smile: "I sent some crabs earlier, and I saw that it was good, so I asked Huang'er to stew tofu. It's just that my aunt can't eat it, so I specially made Ruyi wontons filled with pork. It’s hot now, my aunt’s body should eat less and eat more. I added a piece of braised carp and served it with japonica rice. The soup is the three-yellow old chicken soup I made earlier.”

"It's for dinner." Lin Ruhai nodded.When Jia Lian heard this, she felt a little hungry.

After resting for a day, Jia Lian saw the staff member who was a Jinshi in his study the next day.

After Jiang Mao saluted, without waiting for Jia Lian to return the gift, he took out a white brocade envelope with ghost characters from his arms and handed it to Jia Lian: "Please read, Mr. Lian, the general has explained everything."

Jia Lian took the letter standing, opened the clip and took out the letter paper.It is written in delicate handwriting, and it looks like it was written by a woman.The first letter to open the letter, to explain his identity.The person who wrote the letter was Yi Shi, Jia Jing's wife.Yi Shi said that he was worried that Jia Jing could not explain clearly when writing the letter, so he wrote it for him.

The letter mentioned the current court situation and previous plans.However, Rong Geer concealed a princess, so that the lineage of Ningguo Mansion might not be able to get up within three or four generations.So she discussed with the master, no matter what Brother Xi decided.They all hope that Jia Lian will look at the elements in the same line and pick up two doors on one shoulder.And explain that Jiang Mao is here.He may not have made any special achievements in people's livelihood, but he has extraordinary abilities in military affairs and court affairs.When he was in Qingzhou, he was a famous ruthless character.Jia Jing was worried about the problem of missing the Beiya pass.Although the Shijia brothers are nice people, they are not harmonious.Once it is lost, if it is regained again, it may cause the opponent's soldiers to attack again.And his body is at most five or six years old.What he can do is limited, so let him learn more from Jiang Mao in the art of war.

Looking at Jia Jing's wife's letter, Jia Lian realized for the first time that this uncle who killed him early may not be limited by the current situation.Not long after Qin Keqing passed away, he went there.It seems that fear is also an element of being pissed off.

He took the letter, nodded and said to Jiang Mao: "Mr. is talented, but my uncle is a bit eccentric. I haven't had much contact with him when I was young, and I don't know much. But right now, I can't decide my own affairs. If not How about waiting for the boy here, sir, after the boy asks the teacher for advice?"

"It's a must!" Jiang Mao agreed with Jia Lian's decision.He came here because he was entrusted by the former general.Back then, they all owed the general some love debts.Even in order to protect them, the only son of the general died in the chaos.Therefore, when the general proposed to send an aide to his nephew who would choose two honors in the future, he recommended himself.Although he may not have many good achievements in managing the place.But in terms of military affairs and Yin Division, he still thinks he is good.

Jia Lian took the letter and went to Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai read Yi Shi's letter, thought about it and said, "You can follow him to learn the art of war in the afternoon of the next day. There are other classes in the morning, and I will also invite you Master of subjects. Poems, books, rites, music, poetry, litigation and singing must be learned."

Jia Lian nodded: "Then I'll go back and talk to him, and then I'll look at the arrangement of other courses. Besides, the husband hasn't arrived yet, so I don't think I'm in a hurry to arrange it. It's okay to ask if I don't understand. "

"Yeah! That's fine too!" Lin Ruhai nodded, thought for a while and said, "The old lady of the Zhen family celebrates her birthday in a few days, I think you should take my gift and go there."

"Is there something wrong?" Jia Lian didn't understand why Lin Ruhai wanted to approach Zhen's house all of a sudden.

"Go and see that... Zhen Baoyu." Lin Ruhai thought for a long time before remembering the name.When he was working on salt tickets recently, he was so busy that he lost his head.Always mentioning people, forgetting names.

"Yes!" Jia Lian bowed respectfully and left Lin Ruhai's study.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, Jia Lian's results came out.Jia Lian was a little dissatisfied with the No.3 government test.But Lin Ruhai felt very good. He relied on his relationship to see the top two results.Compared with Jialian, it is better than words.But it was also voted for by the examiner, and it was not a good word for him.After all, after entering Beijing, the style of pavilions and pavilions is more important.Too free and easy personal style, for the current emperor, but nothing cheap.

But in any case, after passing the government examination, you are a scholar.Jia Lian was very happy when he went to Jinling to obtain his identity card.In any case, he is also a scholar now.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Ruhai rested.Because Jia Min was going to give birth in one month, but Jia Min was worried that it would be as difficult as Daiyu, so she begged Lin Ruhai to take her to the temple to pray on the thirteenth day.Wang Xifeng prepares for the Mid-Autumn Festival at home.

Maybe because I went to the temple, my mood improved a lot.While admiring the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jia Min ate two more snow mooncakes specially made for her.It is made of rice flour and it is very delicious.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Ruhai's mentors to Jia Lian came one after another.Because the yard was too small, I rented an empty house next door, which was also the house rented by the salt officials in order to settle down.After rest, it became the place where Jia Lian studied and went to school.

In terms of poetry and writing, Lin Ruhai knew that Jia Lian had no foundation, so he specially invited an elderly scholar from the Xiaozhuang area in the south of the Yangtze River.Starting from the antithesis, seven or eight years is enough for Jia Lian to learn how to compose poems and how to write poems according to his own wishes.

Lege was chosen from a famous luthier by the Huaihe River in Jinling.The other courses are also very good teachers, although the people who teach are older.But Lin Ruhai gave a lot of money, and his reputation was there.

Jiang Mao's class is arranged in the afternoon every three days. Although there are only two hours, it is enough.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of September, and Jia Min's body could no longer bear the heavy weight.As a result of staying in bed all day, her appetite became very bad.For this reason, we can only use the herbal medicine specially adjusted by the doctor to fill the body's needs.Almost reached the level of twice a day pulse case.Although Jia Lian is studying, she is also very worried about her aunt.He remembered that the big reason why the brother in the previous life was not kept was because of premature birth.And the child was born prematurely, and my aunt's body was also damaged due to the birth.Every three years, he died.

Lin Ruhai was also very nervous about Jia Min this time.He himself doesn't care much about the issue of heirs.Although when I was young, I was looking forward to having a son.But as she gets older, her daughter is fine too.He has been with his wife for nearly 20 years, and there is no comparison.

On August [-]th, Wang Xifeng received the steward who came from Jinling to report the results of the project. Before she entered the main courtyard where Jia Min lived, she heard the noise in the courtyard saying that Jia Min was bleeding.She counted the next day, and suddenly became terrified.There is still one month left... Maybe she will be born prematurely again?

She carried her skirt and strode into Jia Min's yard. At this time, the people in the yard were in a mess.The two nuns from the palace quickly overwhelmed them, because they heard that Luo Hong was nothing more than that.Jia Min's body seemed to be holding up, and people were already calling for Doctor and Wen Po.Wang Xifeng walked over, looked at the nanny who was wiping Jia Min's sweat, and asked the other in a low voice: "What's the matter? Didn't you be fine in the morning?"

"Back to young mistress, I don't know for the time being. It's just that after taking the medicine, I felt a little pain. I saw that it was red, and it became a mess. The people in this yard are restrained, but this is probably premature. .”

"Seven lives and eight lives..." Wang Xifeng frowned and pinched the hem of her skirt: "But are you going to call me a man?"

"Go back to grandma, I've already called!" Qiu Ju walked in from the outside and whispered in Wang Xifeng's ear.
