[Red Chamber] I just want to be a dummy

"Let's go, let's go out of the palace and go to Zhuangyuan Building, it will be too late." The ninth prince was anxious to leave when he heard this, and hurriedly urged the eighth prince and Jia Jing.

"There's Fifth Sister, what are you in a hurry for?" The Eighth Prince tapped the Ninth Prince's forehead helplessly and said.

Princess De'an was naturally provoked by the Ninth Prince. Now that the Eighth Prince mentioned Princess De'an, the Ninth Prince didn't dare to say anything, but he couldn't help muttering a few words.

"It's over, it's over. It's always troublesome for girls to go out and dress up. We won't be able to catch up. It's all my mouth."

But the Ninth Prince never expected that when they sent someone to inform Princess De'an, and then anxiously planned to wait for Princess De'an at the gate of the palace.

Princess De'an was already waiting at the gate of the palace with people in a carriage.

Originally, Jia Jing was still worried that the princess would be too airy and would bring a large group of attendants. When the time came, the space in a box might not be easy to accommodate.

But Jia Jing didn't expect that Princess De'an only brought two serving maids, not even the nanny and the guards.There are actually fewer people than Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu, the two rough princes.

At this moment, Jia Jing was in a hurry for the princess again. Princesses are all pampered, so what if there is something unsatisfactory.

"Since you are here, let's leave quickly." Princess De'an said hastily when she saw Jia Jing and the others, "My carriage has a lot of space, you can just use it as my carriage, and you don't need to prepare another carriage. "

Both the eighth prince and the ninth prince are easy to say, they are Princess De'an's younger brother, so it doesn't matter if they ride in a carriage.But Jia Jing is a foreigner after all, so it is unavoidable that he is not in compliance with the rules, so Jia Jing is a little restrained, and he doesn't know whether to get in the carriage or not.

"Or I'll be outside." The coachman sat on one side of the shaft, and Jia Jing thought that he could sit on the other side.

"How can it be like this, the carriage is very spacious, and there are Xiaoba and Xiaojiu here, brother Jing, you can just sit in." Princess De'an quickly persuaded.

I don’t know if the ceremonial officials of this dynasty were out of joking psychology when they formulated the Jinshi uniform. The color of the Jinshi uniform is green.Originally, the green Jinshi set off the freshly baked Jinshi, and they looked vigorous.

However, Jinshi must be accompanied by big red flowers when they ride horses through the streets, which is...

The combination of red and green makes the eyes feel a little uncomfortable because of the color granule. In addition, the Enke Scholars this year are all a bit older.

You said, such a shocking color coupled with a bearded old face makes it a bit hard to compliment.

The rich families who had sharpened their knives and eagerly planned to catch their son-in-law suddenly lost half of their interest.

Then, everyone saw Jia Fu among a group of Jinshi who couldn't bear to look directly at him.

Although the color of red and green is not good, Jia Fu is already fair and tender, with the demeanor of a banished immortal, and a group of slightly older Jinshi praises him.

Jia Fu is simply eye-catching, okay?

No matter they are in the private room of the restaurant for a while, or the big girls and young daughters-in-law standing along the street, they all throw the flowers in their hands to Jia Fu.Seeing Jia Fu's frail figure, the girls all felt sorry for him. Normally, they would even throw the fruit in their hands, otherwise how could it be called a fruit-throwing cart.

But at this time, they dare not even throw thorny flowers at Jia Fu, for fear of hurting their Tanhualang.

The Zhuangyuan Building was first established for this business, so they deliberately prepared flowers and fruits for the guests in the boxes in advance.

Jia Jing and the others were also mobilized by the atmosphere along the street. One by one, they lay on the windows and watched the number one scholar taking the lead, and the Jinshi paraded through the street on horseback.

"Big brother, big brother." Jia Jing watched Jia Fu coming on horseback, shouted at Jia Fu, and threw flowers on Jia Fu.

The Eighth Prince and Ninth Prince next to him also called Brother Jia and threw flowers on Jia Fu.Even Princess De'an picked a rose and threw it in the direction of Jia Fu.

As soon as Jia Fu looked up, he saw a row of heads protruding from Jia Jing and the others, he waved at Jia Jing, and then pretended to have no intention of reaching out to catch the rose dropped by Princess De'an, and put it on his sideburns.

Seeing that Jia Fu did not catch the peony he threw down, but caught Princess De'an's rose, Jia Jing muttered a few words in his heart.

But Jia Jing only thought that Jia Fu hadn't received the flowers by chance, so in order to let Jia Fu receive the flowers he dropped, he quickly turned around to get the flowers.

Jia Jing, who was going to get flowers, just missed the sentence that Princess De'an muttered, "He still remembers."

"Brother Jing, I'm sorry for you," Jia Jing apologized when he was hugged by the Ninth Prince who rushed over just as he started writing the script.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Jia Jing put down his pen and asked.

Jia Jing and the Ninth Prince have been together for two or three years. During these years, the Ninth Prince will not have to make a fuss about being sorry for himself and the Eighth Prince.

So when the Ninth Prince said sorry to Jia Jing, Jia Jing didn't think much about it, and even thought of joking.

"What's wrong? You dirty my manuscript again?"

"No, Fifth Sister went to ask Father for a marriage."

"Princess De'an is going to ask the emperor for a marriage, so what does that have to do with me?" Jia Jing was a little confused by what the Ninth Prince said.

"The fifth sister is begging the emperor to marry you to your elder brother..." When the ninth prince said this, he looked carefully at Jia Jing's face.

At least in the eyes of the Ninth Prince, if he hadn't boasted loudly in front of his brothers and sisters that he was going to see the Jinshi Parade, he wouldn't have provoked Princess De'an.

If Princess De'an hadn't seen Jia Fu's demeanor, she would definitely not have been granted the marriage by her father.

After all, Princess De'an grew up in the deep palace and grew up in front of the queen mother. Not to mention she was out of the palace, even outsiders rarely saw her.

And what about Jia Fu?The son of a foreign minister, and Jia Fu was weak before, so he seldom entered the palace.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that it is impossible to know each other before.

If in the previous dynasty, the princess had fallen, even though the whole family had to serve the princess, the power brought by marrying the princess could offset such a shortcoming.

After all, the sons-in-law of the previous dynasty all held important powers. Of course, this also led to the princess son-in-law of the previous dynasty participating in the government, and even coercing the emperor and ordering the princes.

Therefore, the emperor/ancestor of this dynasty has learned the lessons of the previous dynasty and stipulated that concubines are not allowed to participate in government affairs, and there can only be one idle position as a fourth-rank consort captain.

Of course, the princess's heirs are not affected by this rule. Even if the princess is favored, her eldest son and second son can get a marquis.

But most of the princesses in this dynasty are pampered and spoiled, and not many can live to adulthood, and even fewer can give birth to offspring.

You said that if you marry a living ancestor and go back, the whole family will have to greet the princess sooner or later.The son-in-law can't participate in the government yet, and may be forced to have no children and grandchildren because he married a princess.

This is basically except for the second and youngest sons of powerful families who can't afford to be reused, and can marry a princess to improve their family's status.Who wants to marry such an ancestor back?

As for Princess De'an's marriage, everyone also acquiesced in the first place, and the princess was going to marry back to Zhou's family.

A princess descended, at least it would bring glory to the Zhou family.The second is that the Zhou family is Princess De'an's mother's family, at least no one dares to anger the princess.

And what about Jia Fu?

The eldest son of Ning Guogong, the future patriarch of the Jia family with two princes, even if he does not marry a princess, the family will be demoted to a noble, and the heir can get a marquis, so why marry a princess back?

What's more, Jia Fu has just passed the Jinshi examination, and he is still the top three Tanhua, the kind who can directly enter the Imperial Academy.

What is this the only one among the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, not to mention the military generals, even among those families that have transformed into civil servants in the early days of this dynasty, there may be a few Jinshi, but Tanhua is definitely the only one share.

Jia Fu is at a time when the future is bright, if he marries Princess De'an, wouldn't that destroy his future?

But who is Princess De'an?

That was the only heir that the imperial concubine struggled to give birth to the emperor.Originally, the emperor treated his mother's family very preferentially, and the imperial concubine left early. In the emperor's mind, she was like Bai Yueguang.

For Bai Yueguang's debt, shouldn't Princess De'an make up for it?

The emperor was absolutely responsive to Princess De'an.

What's more, Princess De'an was raised in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother loved Princess De'an like a pearl, even if the emperor thought it was because of Jia Daihua's hard work, he didn't agree.

Once the queen mother comes out, can the always filial emperor disagree?

This……

The more the Ninth Prince thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Jia Jing, sorry for Jia Fu, and sorry for the Jia family.

Of course, it's not that my fifth sister is bad. Princess De'an looks like a fairy, and she is very understanding when she is in contact with her brothers and sisters.

Without the constraints of being a princess, she might be compatible with Jia Fu, but isn't there a rule that concubines are not allowed to participate in politics?

Tanhualang, who has been cultivated by others through untold hardships, will immediately have to do idle work.

The Ninth Prince felt that his sinful deeds had exploded.

"Xiao Jiu, please ask for a leave of absence for me, I will go to the palace." Jia Jing said hastily.

He didn't mean to blame the Ninth Prince, for Jia Fu, Jia Jing only wanted to let his elder brother live his life safely and happily.

It doesn't matter if he can enter the Imperial Academy, or he can be a part-time job as a prince's son-in-law, but what Jia Jing is afraid of is that Jia Fu can't think about it.

Jia Jing remembered how when Jia Fu wanted to take the imperial examination, he argued with Jia Daihua and insisted on taking the imperial examination.

For such a Jia Fu, Jia Jing naturally thought that Jia Fu must want to rise and fall in the officialdom, otherwise why should he be obsessed with the imperial examination?

But Jia Jing never thought that he came out of the palace in a hurry, and when he entered the door, he heard his brother begging his father to go to the palace to ask for a marriage.

And the object of the marriage is Princess De'an.
