Jia Zheng through the Red Mansions

On March 50th in the 25th year of Kangxi, the Dong family held a decent funeral for their dead daughter. The Dong family felt uncomfortable. Their own daughter was docile and well-educated. She pointed out to the eight elder brothers for so many years that Dong The family also took care of the people in the eighth elder brother's house for their daughter. Knowing that Fujin is jealous, he also asked his daughter to take care of him carefully. He hasn't caused trouble all these years, so how could he be cheated for no reason?

Because Jia Zheng and the others were male guests, they went to the front with the master and young master of the Dong family. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang took Li Wan to the place where the family members were. When they entered, the eyes of the Dong family's wife were crying famous.

"Bafujin said that it was our girl who didn't obey the rules, so she beat her a few times, but unexpectedly she was killed by mistake. Only then did she know that the girl was two months pregnant, and Bafujin even scolded her. Said, the girl may have other ideas in hiding the fact that she is pregnant, if she finds out that it is tricky, she will want the heads of our whole family!" The madam said while crying, and the wives next to her were all stunned.

After hearing this, Li Wan also felt that the eight Fujins were too ridiculous. Although she hadn't read any poetry since she was a child, her family had strict laws, and discipline such as rules was indispensable. The heads of the whole family of the court officials, this is too much.

"My poor son, she was wronged during her lifetime, but after her death, she will have a good time!" Mrs. Dong said fiercely.

The wives were all silent, and Mother Jia frowned. When she came in, she also found out that the girl from the Dong family was named as the concubine of the eighth elder brother. Even if she died, she should be the eighth elder brother The mansion is in charge of the funeral. This time, there is no movement in the Eighth Prince's mansion, but the Dong family has made a big fuss, and judging by the specifications of the funeral, it is already in violation of the regulations!

The Dong family didn't know this, but they felt that it was a grievance for their daughter to die at the hands of the royal family. I am afraid that the emperor would not be able to hold Ba Fujin accountable. The death of their daughter was for nothing. I have to rely on the funeral to relieve the depression in my heart, and Kangxi probably won't blame him.

But they were wrong.

In fact, Kangxi was a little guilty towards Dong's family at first, he was clear about Bafujin's temperament, and his actions this time offended his bottom line, and Kangxi, who was already very dissatisfied with Ba elder brother, issued a verbal order to Bafujin. In elder brother's house, Yinhu and Guo Luoluo's words were very fiercely reprimanded.

Regarding the Dong family, although Kangxi reprimanded the eighth prince and Fujin, Kangxi believed that this action was an explanation to the Dong family, and the matter came to an end here.Unexpectedly, the next day, news spread that Dong's family had a grand funeral for their daughter, and many dignitaries in Beijing were invited to the scene, and the funeral system had already exceeded what Shu Fujin should have.

This news made Kangxi furious. Such a Dong family is dissatisfied with me, isn't it?Push your nose to your face!Kangxi only felt that the dignity of the royal family was offended, but by coincidence, that night, the side hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace caught fire.

Kangxi was already full of anger. When he heard that the side hall was on fire, he immediately went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate the matter. The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that there was a problem with the Jiangnan fir used to repair the side hall. Kangxi then investigated again. The Dong family is also unlucky, the eldest son of the Dong family was promoted by the left servant of the Ministry of Industry. Kangxi was already dissatisfied with the Dong family, and this broke out immediately.

The eldest son of the Dong family was dismissed and sent to prison. The master of the Dong family was punished for not being strict in discipline, contemplating behind closed doors for one year, and being fined for three years.

The reason for the Dong family's crime was high-sounding, but none of the officials in Beijing knew that the matter of the Dong family girl was the serious reason!

This time, the hearts of the Manchu Eight Banners participating in the female show are hanging in their throats. They are afraid that their girls will be accused of entering the Eighth Prince's Mansion. I heard from the eunuchs in the palace that Kangxi reprimanded the Eighth Prince again that day. He also said that he would choose another side Fujin and Shu Fujin for the eighth elder brother!

Mrs. Wang was so worried that she couldn't eat any more. What if Yuan Chun was really sent to Ba Age's mansion!

In April, a major event happened in the Hanlin Academy. Zhang Yushu, a former scholar in Beijing, died of illness. Kangxi personally wrote a poem to express his condolences.

There are many disciples of this Grand Master Zhang in the Hanlin Academy. Before these disciples finished mourning their teacher, another imperial decree was promulgated, and Kangxi called Chen Tingjing, a senior scholar, to join the cabinet to handle errands.

After hearing the news, Chen Tingjing's disciples immediately cheered up. This is not over yet, and then Kangxi issued another decree.

Enci increased the number of places in last year's college entrance examination, township examination and general examination by five each.

The list of the current period was immediately found out. Coincidentally, Jia Zhu happened to be the fourth person!When Li Shouzhong called Jia Zhu to his home and told him about the incident, Jia Zhu immediately froze, and it took him a long time to recover.

"Father-in-law, is this true?"

"The imperial decree has been issued, so there is nothing wrong with it." Li Shouzhong looked at Jia Zhu in a daze with a cheerful look.

"Then, then I'm a Juren?" Jia Zhu was overjoyed immediately: "I'm also qualified to participate in the imperial examination?"

In the past year, Jia Zhu's level has improved by leaps and bounds. He is no longer the Jia Zhu he was when he failed the exam a year ago. Therefore, Li Shouzhong is still very relieved of his knowledge, but Li Shouzhong still said: "Your current talent and learning If you take part in the imperial examination, you cannot escape the top three, but with the status of Gongsheng you can study in the Imperial College, the imperial examination will be in March next year, if you study hard during this period, your future will naturally be limitless!"

Jia Zhu nodded excitedly, and told Jia Zheng and Jia's mother about the incident after returning home. The whole family was relieved from the depression caused by the incident in Yuanchun.

"Okay, okay, Zhu'er is really blessed, and I believe Yuan girl is also a blessed person." Jia Mu said.

Yuan Chun was also happy about his brother's affairs, his little face turned red, Mrs. Wang even recited Amitabha Buddha, Jia Zheng was also happy for Jia Zhu, and wrote a letter to Lin Ruhai in Suzhou that night, hoping that he could give Jia Zhu some advice on the palace examination important matter.

At this time, Kangxi sent the empress dowager to the summer resort, and Yuan Chun and other beautiful women were also brought into the palace to learn the rules. After the empress dowager returned to the palace in September, the final selection was made.

Jia's trustee sent a lot of money to the eunuch in charge of the palace, and inquired about Yuan Chun, hoping to be taken care of for a while. Jia's mother also asked the old concubine to take care of Yuan Chun, and the whole family started from Jia Zhu. The excitement turned to worries about Yuanchun.

In July, Kangxi decided to take the children of the Eight Banners to the paddock Qiuwei, and then took the empress dowager back to Beijing to preside over the draft. This time, Jia Zheng and Zade also went with Hongxi to Qiuwei.

No matter how worried the family was about Yuan Chun, Jia Zheng didn't dare to be negligent when he was on duty in front of Hongxi. This little ancestor is very difficult to serve!

Autumn has always been valued by Kangxi very much. The Qing Dynasty was a country fought on horseback. When Kangxi was young, Ping Sanfan took Taiwan and integrated Mongolia. Everything was conquered by himself. At this time, he was old, but he was no longer young He was heroic at the time, but watching his sons and grandsons shoot and hunt with horses was vaguely the demeanor of a good man in Manchuria, and Kangxi was also very proud.

In the past, Hongxi always pretended to be a fool when he was with Kangxi's Qiu Wei, but this time it was very different. It was top-notch. Kangxi didn't expect much from Hongxi, but now it was a surprise. When Hongxi brought a deer to Kangxi, Kangxi's smiling eyes narrowed.

That night, the deer was roasted and given to the emperor's grandson and close ministers. In the evening, Kangxi summoned Hongxi to his camp to reward him.

"Huang Mafa was taught by Master Zade." Hongxi said in a favorable manner.

Kangxi was even happier when he heard that, this Zade was the bodyguard he personally selected from the Buku drama. At that time, the censor had an audience and said that it would be difficult for him to take up the responsibility if he did not follow the rules. Looking at it now, he still has the ability to judge people. !

Seeing that Kangxi was very happy, Hong Xi quickly said: "Huang Mafa, Master Zade is now married, but he is not married. His grandson wants to ask Huang Mafa for a favor. This time, Master Zade refers to a beautiful girl. "

Xiunv refers to marriage, which refers to the emperor, royal descendants and close relatives, and some ministers outside the clan's family fell in love with a certain beautiful girl for their son, and then the family's wife or Fujin entered the palace to ask for the grace of the queen mother or empress. If you choose this show girl for yourself, you will put the show girl's brand on the draft.

Kangxi was very happy at this time, so he naturally agreed, but when Hongxi left, Kangxi regretted it a little.

Although this Zade was born in the Xianglan Banner, he is a concubine, and his status is not enough, and the show girls are also divided into two classes. He has already read the roster of the Eight Banners show girls. Zade wants to be honorable, and those with lower status are also booked out!He can't choose one of the beautiful girls in the coat to give this second-class bodyguard and emperor's eldest grandson the riding and archery instructor?

But after all the words were spoken, Kangxi couldn't go back if he wanted to, so Kangxi threw this hot potato to the queen mother.After the brigade Ma Qiuwei, Kangxi personally took his sons and grandsons to the Summer Resort to honor the Queen Mother back to the palace.

The queen mother also knew about the fire in the side hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and wanted to go back to the palace to have a look, so the emperor and the empress dowager drove back to the palace from the summer resort. morality.

After reading the roster, the queen mother selected five beautiful women, and asked Kangxi with some doubts: "These people are all matched with Zade, why didn't the emperor choose one of them?"

Kangxi respectfully explained one by one, it turned out that among the five beautiful girls, two of them were asked by Concubine Rong to be the concubine for Hongsheng, the son of the third elder brother Yinzhi, and the other three were also conferred by Fujin or ministers from other clans. His wife entered the palace and begged Concubine Yi and Concubine De, and he agreed.

The queen mother nodded when she heard the words, continued to look down, stopped at Yuan Chun's name, thought for a while before saying: "Is this Jia Yuanchun the daughter of the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion?"

Kangxi sneered and nodded: "Exactly."

The queen mother looked up at Kangxi: "It's really their family, okay..." The queen mother also smiled: "In that case, let's point this Jia Yuanchun to Zade."

"This..." Kangxi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then nodded again and again: "It's just according to what the mother wants."

Kangxi didn't think of Jia's family at first, after all, the ancestor of Jia's family was the status of the Duke, and it was also the grace of the late emperor Shunzhi. Kangxi still respected the late emperor very much.But now the Jia family has done this kind of thing, in vain of the kindness of the late emperor, Kangxi originally thought about what happened to the Dong family, and then found a reason to rectify the Jia family. , It can be regarded as a punishment in disguise, hum, I think they came to their family because they wanted to marry their daughter into the clan!

Because of Yuan Chun, the Jia family was spared a disaster of "disrespect to the late emperor", which was beyond the expectation of everyone in the Jia family and Hong Xi.
