Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Chapter 127 Palace Exam

Although Guanshi Lai was also pleasantly surprised, but even if he was born, so what, even if his son ascended to that position, the one who is proud is only the master of Jia's mansion, so he has nothing to do with him, why should he let himself take the risk of spending money?

"Uncle means that this money is for the empress, but since the empress is a holy family, why do you need so much money?"

Lai Da was displeased, dissatisfied and disdainful of Taoism,

"You shallow-sighted, don't even think about it, even in our family, if there is no money to reward, who would want to work around? Let alone the palace where human sperm gather!"

"Then, since it's such a big deal, why didn't our master do it? Instead, the little nephew was asked to secretly cut it from the account, and then a grandmother has a way to go directly to the palace?"

Butler Lai's most important thing is his own personal interests. If it weren't for the Lai family members, including his own father, who insisted that he obey Lai Da's words, he would not have to go through this muddy water. Blame it on yourself.

It would be good if he could go back to the mansion, but if he is in danger, he might as well be peaceful and earn a little interest. The Nian Mansion will select a group of young children from the family to run for election, and the chances of returning to the mansion are not lost.

On Lai Da's face was an arrogant mocking smile, leaving only a slight curvature of the corners of his lips fixed by Botox, while his embarrassment, panic and wariness radiated from his eyes without any concealment, and his tone became calm, bringing A little soothing.

"Why not! Our money is given to the wife, who is the mother of the empress, and she has always been a compassionate bodhisattva, so she will never forget us!

As for the master of your family, you have to say that being a minister and being loyal to the emperor, that the emperor rewards the emperor and punishes him is all pedantic words such as the emperor's kindness, and let our family not do unnecessary things, just obey the arrangement of the emperor.

If the oil can't be poured in, how can they let their family do such a good thing.

No matter how good outsiders praise someone who is so old-fashioned and ignorant of flexibility, what is the use of it! "

Lai Zhuangtou asked, "Isn't grandma from the old lady? How did you become friends with your wife?"

"What's the matter? The wife is the mother of the empress, and her son Baoyu is the heart of the old lady. In the future, it is uncertain who the Duke of Rong's mansion will be. What's wrong with making friends with the wife? !"

The Lai family really planned to rely on Jia Mu at the beginning, but a few years ago, because Nanny Lai wanted to please the old lady, she uncovered the rumors about Miss Lin, and offended the big and small Wang family who were in charge, as the saying goes Once the emperor and the courtiers, although Nanny Lai left the mansion, her grandparents and grandchildren were still in the mansion, and suffered a lot.

Learning to gain wisdom, Nanny Lai has a bad heart, and seeing the bustle and wealth of Concubine Yuan visiting her relatives, she thought about befriending Mrs. Wang.

After this conversation, Lai Zhuangtou also knew the plan of Lai Da and the others. It turned out that they wanted to intervene in the fight between the first and second rooms of the Rongguo Mansion. They stood behind the second room and naturally wanted to fight for their own. The new master seeks some benefits, but he can't please the master of Ningguo Mansion, so he wants to start with himself!

The steward of the Rongguo Mansion is so foolish that Lai Dao thinks that the whole world is being fooled. The affairs of the Rongguo Mansion have nothing to do with him, a slave of the Ningguo Mansion. Before seeing him, their master couldn’t do anything to him Master?

Thinking of Lai Zhuangtou like this, the fear, nervousness and humility in his heart seemed to have gone to a level, and there was a little perfunctory feeling in his heart.

Even Lai Da didn't want to stay any longer, so he said,

"Since something went wrong in this season, it's all right, you have to be more careful in the future, you know?"

Lai Zhuang thought about where there would be a second time, but Lai Da is the elder after all, and there are two masters in the village, so he didn't want to make a big fuss, so he said haha,

"It's natural, please rest assured, uncle, and nephew must be careful."

The two chatted some gossip again, Lai Zhuangtou was about to send Lai Da out, when he opened the door, he saw five or six men surrounded the door, Lai Zhuangtou recognized that they came out of the mansion, and was frightened Legs, all of a sudden kneeling on the ground.

Although Lai Da was terribly frightened, but after all, he has been the chief steward of the Rongguo Mansion for many years, and he has seen a lot of worlds, so he can still survive.

"What are you doing here, who are you! Woohoo!"

Lai Da still wanted to say that he was gagged and tied up, along with Lai Zhuangtou, both of them were knocked out together and locked in the room.

Jia Lu watched them open the door with an expression from surprise to fear and then to forced calm, tsk tsk tsk, look, you can't close the door if you are whispering, you can't see the inside from the outside, and you can't see the outside from the inside. Confused.

Now that such an insider came out, and the purpose of coming to Zhuangzi was basically achieved, Jia Lu and the others didn't stay any longer, and packed their bags the next day and went back, Lai Da and Lai Zhuangtou also went back together.

When they got home, Jia Jing took over the two members of the Lai family. He didn't say much, but told Jia Lu to go back to the Grand View Garden as soon as possible, as the family might be busy.

Jia Lu thought that they were just two little thieves, her father would definitely be able to handle it, plus Zhang was busy with her son's affairs, she was a sister-in-law, if she stayed, Zhang would have to devote all her attention to taking care of herself, the gain outweighed the loss , then went back to the Grand View Garden.

In the Grand View Garden, it was only heard that Lai Da was released and kept a low profile. Seeing Jia Lu or the masters of Ningguo Mansion respectful and respectful made others wonder what Jia Jing had done?

Later, the Ningguo Mansion arrested a lot of old people, saying that they had embezzled the things in the master's house. Since Jia Rong's imperial examination was about to take place, they were sent out with their deeds released. They could not take away anything that belonged to the Ningguo Mansion. .

In a blink of an eye, it was time to talk about the exam. Jia Rong was originally good at it. After so many years of honing, although the writing is not very gorgeous and sharp-edged, the victory is in the balance. She won 88th place. Although it is not very good, she can still participate in the palace exam. , everyone was happy, Zhang once wanted to throw a banquet to celebrate, but was stopped by Jia Jing in time.

When it was time for the palace examination, Jia Rong followed the crowd into the Hall of Preservation. Even though he was also from a noble family, he had no confidant of a saint in his family and had never been in the palace. Standing next to him was an official body with plumes, his chest thumping non-stop, Legs and feet are a little weak.

Jia Rong behaved well, at least she was calm on the surface, and there were some people who fainted from fright and lost their manners in front of the hall, all of which were dragged out.

The ministers who were used to seeing them shook their heads in their hearts. It's a pity. After entering the palace examination, they will never pass the test. The future is bright, but with this stain of dishonesty in front of the palace, they will be ruined for the rest of their lives. It is useless to retake the exam.No matter how I know, I know that there will always be one or two like this in every palace test.

After distributing the examination papers, when Jia Rong saw the examination questions, she immediately calmed down and her legs did not tremble. The result of the examination was the severe drought in Shanxi the year before last. Jia Rong was born as an official. Indispensably, this is one more layer of background than the Gongshi who came from a commoner background.

He went to Zhuangzi again a month ago, chatted a lot with the farmers who planted the land, and even planted it himself. The scene at that time is still vivid in his memory.

Even Jia Rong had to feel the kindness of God!

It's just that he doesn't think about it, there are other people who have Zhuangzi and mansion newspapers, why don't they think of reading the mansion newspaper and chatting with the farmers?

It can only be said that if you plant flowers, you will reap the fruits, even if God gives you the opportunity, you must seize it yourself!
