The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

Chapter 142 Entering the Palace

Fortunately, what Madam wants this time is not difficult, but she just wants to find a few foreigners from foreign countries.

Jia Zheng agreed immediately, and then drank the tea his wife handed over. At the same time, he told his wife that there was a young talent recently, who was a Jinshi this year. So he wanted to join Jia's family, just as his wife wanted to add a few gentlemen to the primary school to teach the children, so he thought, why don't we first look at literary talent and character?He can be regarded as a hall official now. The teachers lent to him by his brother-in-law before have already borrowed and never repaid. Even in Shanxi, he has a set of madam support team like what madam said, but talents are rare, especially now. Standing in different positions requires a variety of different opinions to give him a better reference.

"Is your surname Jia? Is it from our Jia family?" Wang Guizhi was delighted, but he didn't expect Jia Zheng to agree, so he asked casually.

Jia Zhengdao, "No, he's from Huzhou. His family used to be rich and honored, but it's just at the end of the day. His surname is Jia, and his name is Yucun..." He was about to say that this person's knowledge and talent are not bad, when he saw his wife immediately His expression changed, almost glaring at him.

"What's wrong?" He couldn't help asking.

This Jia Yu Village actually appeared again!

Didn't she give him to the butterfly?Without Zhen Shiyin's support for him, he also went to Beijing to be admitted to Jinshi?Without Lin Ruhai guaranteeing him a letter, why did he get on line with Jia Zheng again?This is simply, is he pervasive?Wang Guizhi sighed, pursed his lips slightly, and asked carefully, "Master, how do you know him? Could it be that Uncle Lin recommended it to you?"

"No, no, this matter has nothing to do with my brother-in-law. I heard from Menzi that he has been visiting Rongguo Mansion for nearly a month, rain or shine, and his heart is strong. I just met him." Jia Zheng explained, although he He won't interfere in the affairs of the inner chamber, but before his sister and his wife seemed unhappy, he could still feel it. It's rare that the relationship between the two seems to be much harmonious, how could he make the two of them have a rift again.

Wang Guizhi asked strangely, "Then is this person's knowledge really that good? You think he's amazing when you see him?" No wonder he was praised as a hero, it's because I was born to be useful.

"That's not true, it's just that Ma'am, didn't you say you want to teach the children to learn..." Jia Zheng was also confused.

"I don't want such a person to teach my children." Thinking about what Jia Yucun did, how could Wang Guizhi let him have contact with his children.

Jia Zheng said, "Why? Is there any reason?"

...Wang Guizhi is not easy to deceive Jia Zheng. After all, he is different from Feng. , as long as he asks casually, he will immediately go through the gang, which makes people feel strange.

"My lord, you want to see that despite the cold winter and being neglected by others, he still wholeheartedly wants to meet you, impress you with his talent, and make you give birth to a child who can let him have a try and teach himself This shows that this person has a very utilitarian mind and a heart of revenge. If you give him a little chance, he will climb up desperately..." Wang Guizhi said honestly, "This way You can use him as a subordinate, as long as you guard against whether he will betray because of the temptation of greater power. If you become the children's teacher... Although you are a preschool lecturer, you know Yes, in Dali, it is said that one day is a teacher and a lifelong father. If you are so enterprising, I am afraid that nothing will be discovered in the future. Besides, his personality is so strong and courageous. If I let him be a teacher for children, I will learn He said he couldn't afford it, but that the children were still young, and there were many kinds of problems. Can he accept it with peace of mind? I am a mother, and I know the children best. Although they are sensible, they can also be quite naughty. So I feel bad about it."

Hearing what Madam said clearly, Jia Zheng nodded, "Yes, the children are still young, no wonder you always ask me to find some young and gentle talents, or a always kind Madam." Judging from his eyes, it is indeed different from him.It's just a doorman, since my wife doesn't like it, it's useless.

"Ma'am, have you seen the book from Shanxi?"

"I see, it's awesome! With these language comparison tables, if you can find old businessmen who are familiar with these languages ​​to teach them, you can cultivate some talents who can communicate at sea, but what other languages ​​​​are not also compiled? Is it? Why not?" Wang Guizhi said excitedly.

"Those are still being worked on. Shanxi merchants have dealt with Russia the most, and the relevant materials are relatively complete, so this book can be compiled so quickly..." Jia Zheng said, "There is another piece of information, the Moon Tower you want to build is completed. "

"This is a picture drawn by our eldest daughter. It's a pity, master, you didn't stay in Shanxi for a while, otherwise you can see it with your own eyes."

The husband and wife fell asleep after discussing and talking. Jia Zheng, who had been a minister of the second official, had to get up early every day to enter the court. He had just come into contact with the job of the minister. Jia Zheng was still a little confused. So every day is also very busy.

Jia Yucun, who thought he could finally board the big ship of Rongguo Mansion, was once again turned away, "Our master has gone to court, and I promise to give you this thing." Menzi handed him a generous gift politely, Then the door was closed.Jia Yucun knocked on the black oil gate again, but the gate saw him from the gatehouse, but ignored him.

"What's the matter? Didn't you meet our master before? Why didn't you open the door?"

"I didn't please the master. Our master is now the court official of the second official. It's enough to give him gifts if you are polite. Come every day, whether you are annoying or not, the master is busy."

"Oh, then you have to tell the shift, so as not to cause trouble again."

"understood."

Jia Yucun walked on the street in a daze again, waiting for the absence of officials, when will he wait?He is so talented from the sky, why can't he be given a breath of fresh air, so that he can have a taste of Lingyun's ambition!In Jinling and Gusu, he sold calligraphy for a living, and wanted to find a kind person to pay for his travel and money. That person went out to travel, and then even the calabash temple where he stayed was burned down. Finally, when Zhen Shiyin came back, he waited for the opportunity They came to the door, but were rejected, and then the family moved out.In the end, in desperation, he had no choice but to join a rich family, hoping to use his wife's wealth to go to the capital to take the exam, but the family refused until his wife gave birth to a baby boy, and they gave him 30 taels of silver. Let a book boy and his grandfather send him to Beijing.God is so pitiful, he succeeded in one fell swoop, and the old man and the book boy who followed him ate something on the road, and both of them died of diarrhea.

At that time, he was still thinking that there is no unparalleled road, and he, Jia Yucun, will definitely break out a new way of life, but it seems that the hope is ahead, but it is abruptly broken!

God is not fair!

I randomly found a place where the wine curtain was hung, and started to drink heavily after ordering wine. When the tavern was about to close, Xiaoer reminded Jia Yucun, "Officials, customers, the shop is about to close, you look……"

"Bring the wine! Bring the wine! Give me the wine!" Jia Yucun was drunk, and he barely opened his eyes and said, "You know who I am, I am Jia Yucun, get me the wine quickly Come!" Still tugging at Xiao Er's clothes, he fell back and forth again, breaking a lot of dishes.

"Hey, let me tell you, you are so drunk, what kind of wine do you want? We are closing the door, you can't hear me!" It's not just ordinary people who can open a tavern on this street. His temper also came up, "Give me the money quickly, and then pour it wherever you want." The wine dishes and bowls and his reward money have to be counted heavily.

At this time, a man smiled and stretched out his hand. On it was a white ingot of silver. He stopped Xiaoer who wanted to search Jia Yucun's body, "How much, I will pay for him."

Surname Jia?The waiter in this store doesn't know, but he knows that the surname is Jia. Although the emperor has kept the Jia family cold during this period of time, the emperor has taken care of the Jia family. There is no chance to hook up with the Jia family.

Then there is the ancestor worship for the New Year, the spring sowing of spring seeds, and the day when Yuanchun and Yingchun are about to enter the palace.

She did everything she could do, and Wang Guizhi was no longer nervous, so as not to make her daughter even more uneasy, "You also know the information of those girls who are drafted like you. When they arrive in the palace, they won't come to provoke you. Don't bother with them either, if they want to mess with you..."

"I'm sure I won't let them go." Yuan Chun said with a smile, "Mom, I don't know how many times you've said this. Am I the kind of little white rabbit who will be bullied casually? Besides, rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry Well, don't worry." She also had a plan in her heart, even if she wanted to pretend to be a bit more serious, she would return home to hold her wedding ceremony as her mother hoped most.

Wang Guizhi nodded, "Yes." Anyway, in her opinion, Yuan Chun is so smart and will handle it well.

"I've prepared everything for you, even your little sister Yingchun's. You are the daughters of the same family, and you are the elder sister. If you can, take care of her." Wang Guizhi hesitated. She's really stupid...don't worry about her, we'll take care of it when the time comes." Although she thought that this Yingchun would no longer be like the Yingchun in the book, there was no guarantee that she would make a mistake. stupid?Anyway, she wants her daughter to put herself first.

Yuan Chun also agreed, "Okay, I get it, I will definitely protect myself wisely, if the fire doesn't burn me, then I will definitely watch the fire from the other side."

"Okay, okay, mom knows that my eldest daughter is very smart."

Wang Guizhi couldn't deliver it in person. After all, there were many people in the general election and there were rules. Only black-covered carriages of the same size could enter.One person can only bring one maid. After the identity verification, the carriage and the maid can only stay outside. All the girls who have registered for the election must first go through the court lady and imperial physician before the maid can be sent in. A package prepared at home (to be opened and carefully checked one by one), and then the maid will go home to report the letter, and the girls who have been selected will stay in the Chuxiu Palace for a month, among which the Shangshu and the nuns , observe the body posture, temperament, speech, character, rigidity, softness, stupidity, wisdom and virtuousness, and those who are ignorant will be invited out of the palace. After one month, after the queen's empress has personally tested the calligraphy, poetry and painting skills, she can meet with the harem concubine Concubines talk about each other, these outstanding women, some of them are concubines who are talented people, some are the wives of princes and kings, concubines, etc. Then you can go home.
