Jia Zheng through the Red Mansions

During the Lantern Festival, there was another burst of excitement in the mansion. Although Jia Zheng's injury had improved, he was still not suitable to participate in such a lively scene, and he was still recuperating in bed. With his father like this, Jia Zhu was not in the mood to play around, and was still at his father's bedside. Talk to my father every day to relieve boredom, and read to my father.

However, Jia Zheng knew that Jia Zhu's wedding date had been set on the first lunar month. On this day, Jia Zhu had just read an article in the "Book of History" and listened to Jia Zheng. Girl at home, go and do your business, I can read by myself."

"Zhu'er will go and tell her father-in-law to delay the wedding and marry after her father recovers from his injury." Jia Zhu shook her head.

Jia Zheng laughed instead: "My injury just looks dangerous. There is no need to delay the wedding date."

At this time, the Jia family and the Li family have almost made preparations for Jia Zhu's marriage. At this time, it is bound to be another trouble to postpone the wedding. To embrace the beauty as soon as possible, I am even more unwilling to delay.

That evening, someone from the Li family also sent someone to ask if the wedding date should be postponed for a few days. After getting the letter of approval that the wedding was not postponed, although the Li family members said a few words, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate", the superficial Joy can't be hidden from anyone.

Originally, Li Shouzhong was not very optimistic about this marriage with Jia's mansion. As the son of the Imperial College, he was in charge of all the supervisors in the world, so he was somewhat taboo about picking a son-in-law. This Jia Zhu is only a scholar now, can he pass the college entrance examination? Even if he passed the examination to become a Gongsheng, his son-in-law is a supervisor under his supervision, and he still has to consider the issue of avoiding suspicion.

His original intention was to choose a son-in-law for his daughter from among the students who had already won Jinshi, and those from a poor family were all right, but people from the Jia family sent someone to come to marry him. Although Jia Zhu's father was only a sixth-rank master, He still has to be a little bit afraid of the influence of the Jia family.

In the end, although Jia's marriage was agreed to, Li Shou was still somewhat dissatisfied in the center.But at this moment, Jia Zheng was directly promoted to study at the fourth-rank Imperial Academy, and Jia Zhu himself came to visit him with a letter of recommendation from Lin Ruhai and Lin Tanhua.

Seeing the handsome and graceful Jia Zhu, Li Shouzhong liked it a little bit. After reading Lin Ruhai's letter, and personally tested a few words about Jia Zhu's knowledge, Li Shouzhong was even happier, secretly glad that he didn't push it away. For this marriage, he took Jia Zhu to meet his wife, and Mrs. Li also had a good impression of Jia Zhu.

Look at this handsome child, standing next to his own daughter is really a man and woman!

But after the joy, Mrs. Li became a little worried. Now that Jia Zheng has a fourth-rank official position, which is comparable to Li Shouzhong's official position, and the Jia family is a descendant of Duke Rong, will they think that the Li family's lintel is too low?

After Mrs. Li expressed her thoughts, although Li Shouzhong reprimanded him for "a woman's opinion", he couldn't help muttering in his heart. Fortunately, the wedding date was quickly fixed, and Jia's mansion passed the six ceremonies according to the rules, but it happened In the early stage of the wedding, when Jia Zheng was seriously injured, Li Shouzhong quickly sent someone over to ask about it.

The later the wedding date, the more likely it will change. Now that the wedding date is not changed, can the Li family be unhappy?

On the [-]th day of this month, Jia Zhu and Li Wan got married. Of course, Jia Zheng, who is a high official, wanted to attend, but because of his injuries, he only received the gift of the newcomer, and then was helped back to his room to rest.

The next day after the new daughter-in-law greeted Jia's mother, she went to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang to greet her parents-in-law. Because Jia Zhu liked Li Wan, Jia Zheng naturally didn't have any opinion on Li Wan, and Mrs. Wang was even more so because it was him and Mrs. Wang. The daughter-in-law that the old lady chose out of thousands of choices, she also likes it very much.

After paying their respects here, Jia Zhu and his wife went to the big room to pay their respects. Jia Hao and Mrs. Xing, as Jia Zhu's uncle and aunt, naturally did not say anything. After Jia Zhu and his wife left, Mrs. Xing sighed inwardly, a little It's not a good feeling, the second room is already married, but the old lady promised to find a marriage for Jia Lian, but there is no movement yet!

Jia Zhu and his wife returned to their room at this time, Jia Zhu went to the study to study, and Li Wan had to go to see Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang led her to Jia Mu to set the rules.

Jia's mother knew that the Li family also knew the rules, so she nodded secretly when she saw Li Wan's behavior in the first few days. On the third day, she asked Mrs. Wang to take Li Wan to familiarize herself with the affairs of Jia's house.

This is because the old lady opened her mouth to let her daughter-in-law learn how to be a housekeeper. Madam Wang was naturally happy. Madam Xing was even more annoyed when she found out.

At this time, Mother Jia already had a charter in her heart. Seeing Mrs. Xing's eagerness, Jia's mother was displeased, and her face was light, and she just said: "I have already taken a fancy to one, but I am still young. Hold on."

Mrs. Xing wanted to ask who it was again, but seeing that Mother Jia had already lowered her face, she didn't dare to speak any more, and cowardly withdrew.

At this time, Jia Zhu and his wife had become the most idle people in Jia's mansion. Jia Zhu was busy reviewing books and visiting old scholars.

And Jia Zheng is the most idle person in the mansion. Because the injury is in the lower abdomen, standing or sitting for a long time will affect the wound, so he has to lie down every day. At this moment, he is reading a letter from Lin Ruhai in Suzhou. Obviously, Lin Ruhai has heard that he was injured. The letter specifically said, "Don't get involved in crony disputes."

Jia Zheng also wanted to understand this truth. Although he knew that Yongzheng was the winner of the Nine Dragons Conquest in the end, Jia's mansion and Prince Yong's mansion have never had any contact. It doesn't matter which elder brother you want to rely on, as long as he stands unswervingly on Kangxi's side, no matter who succeeds in the future, the danger of his "former emperor's party" will be much smaller.

Jia Zheng wrote a reply letter to Lin Ruhai. In the letter, he asked about Jia Min's physical condition and Daiyu's condition. After asking the servant to deliver the letter, Jia Zheng lay back on the bed again. It was time to change the dressing. The time has passed, and now his wound has healed, and the wound is starting to itch, and the hot weather makes it even more uncomfortable.

From the time he was injured to the present, although the Prince's Mansion sent a lot of supplements, Hongxi never came here once.

From Zhao Xiwei to Jia Zheng, he always thought that he adapted well, but now that he thinks about it, he has never really integrated into this era. He did not treat Hong Xi as cautiously as a slave treats a master, but instead treated him like a slave. This kind of elder's feelings for the younger generation, but now he has to admit that he was wrong.

This is not modern times, but the Qing Dynasty with strict hierarchy. He and Hongxi did not have equal conditions. If a slave is injured, it is already a great favor for the master to reward him with something. How can he condescend? Expensive to come here?

As Jia Zheng thought about it, his position on Hong Xi began to change slowly. That person was not his junior, so he couldn't be his friend. He even had the power to kill him.

The change in Jia Zheng's feelings for Hongxi was clearly reflected when Jia Zheng recovered from his injury and returned to Hongxi's side to serve as his attendant two months later.

Finding out Jia Zheng's respect and unfamiliarity with him, Hongxi didn't feel the slightest bit of joy.

What a person who doesn't know how to praise, he doesn't even look at his identity!Being alienated by someone he recognized for the first time, Hongxi felt angry, and the deep affection in his heart that he hadn't even noticed was covered up by this anger.

Hmph, do you think I'm rare?Because of Jia Zheng's estrangement, Hongxi's master's temper began to run rampant!

But Jia Zheng didn't know that it was his own attitude that caused Hongxi's reaction. Instead, he felt that this kind of Hongxi was his original temperament, and it was ridiculous that he never discovered it.

The two lines that originally began to slowly protect and attract each other began to think about going in opposite directions.

Since then, Hongxi spent most of her time practicing martial arts with Zade. Although Kangxi felt that it was a fly in the ointment that he could not be both civil and martial arts, but compared to Hongxi's nonsense all day long ago, now Very good.

Jia Zheng became more and more leisurely, but Jia Zheng did not stay in the mansion when he was free. Instead, he stayed in the Imperial Academy almost all day, found the records of the official historian and read them one by one. Finally got rid of smattering.

Originally, the editors and editors of the Imperial Academy were not willing to deal with the nepotism who came by airborne, but as the days passed, they also found that Jia Zheng was different from what they imagined. Although he was not very knowledgeable, his attitude was still the same. Very humble, and willing to make progress, holding a book to read all day long, but also wants to make friends.

You must know that the status of these editors in the Imperial Academy is very low, and it is only when they are promoted to the servants that they can make a living. They usually ask the servants for advice, but now there is a servant who asks for advice. They asked for advice—although they all knew the standard of reading, but it finally satisfied the vanity of these literati, and their attitude towards Jia Zheng became better.

Although the attendants were dissatisfied with Jia Zheng, they didn't dare to show it on their faces. After all, his in-laws were Mr. Li, who offered sacrifices to the Imperial Academy, and Mr. Li had a good relationship with the adults of the Imperial Academy. Sour, but he didn't dare to joke about his own future.

As soon as Jia Zheng returned to the mansion from the Imperial Academy that day, Madam Wang said to Jia Zheng with a smile on her face: "My lord, there is another big happy event in our family."

Jia Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and thought for a while that the only thing that could be called a happy event in the mansion recently was the marriage of Zhu Er and Li Wan. Is there anyone who wants to get married?Jia Rong in the East Mansion is still young, only Jia Lian from the big house is about the same age as Zhu'er, could it be him?

"Is it Lian'er who has made an appointment?"

As soon as Jia Zheng finished speaking, the smile on Mrs. Wang's face froze immediately, "Master, why are you so confused, the happy event I'm talking about is not the big house, but our girl Yuan."

Yuanchun?Jia Zheng's head buzzed, could it be...

"The granddaughter of the second aunt of my sister-in-law's family married the son of a steward of the House of Internal Affairs as a concubine. Now she has a quota. As long as she pays 5000 taels of silver, the steward can arrange a place for us Yuan girl to be a beautiful girl. Master, 5000 It's not too much to exchange two silver coins for a beautiful girl, if Yuan girl gets the emperor's blue eyes and enters the palace as a concubine, you will be the husband of the country!" Mrs. Wang said, her face had just been aroused by Jia Zheng's mention of the big house marriage His displeasure completely faded away, leaving only a look of ecstasy.

King?Jia Zheng laughed back angrily. This year is the 50th year of Kangxi, and he is 34 years old. How old is the current emperor?Return the country's husband?I am not limited to embarrassment, I guess Kangxi will not be able to save his old face and choose such a little girl into the palace!

The author has something to say: [The security system of the Qing Palace]

The Qing Dynasty’s inner court had a strict legal system. It did not have a unified security organization and minister in charge. Instead, it set up guards, guard camps, forward camps, three-flag coating camps in the House of Internal Affairs, and Shenji camps. , but restrain each other, and are directly responsible to the emperor.

The elite three banners of Xianghuang, Zhenghuang and Zhengbai are on duty inside the Forbidden City, and the five phases of Zhenghong, Xiangbai, Xianghong, Zhenglan and Xianglan are outside the Forbidden City.

He also selects the masters with outstanding martial arts skills in the upper three banners as guards, among whom the cronies serve as the imperial guards and the guards of the Qianqing Gate.The entire city of Beijing, centered on the Imperial Palace, is under the control of the Manchurian officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners.

This is the characteristic of the security system in the Qing Dynasty.
