Weiyang of the Red Mansion

"Today, I invited a few sisters-in-law from the West Mansion to visit the mansion to enjoy the lotus. A girl named Xing also came here. She is already seventeen this year and has not yet decided on a family. Who knows how she looks? If this girl is not worried Yes, what about brother Hu and brother Lian?"

Jia Fu frowned, "Miss Xing? Which family in Beijing has the surname Xing?"

Most of the people he came into contact with were high officials in the court, and those who were lower than the fourth rank could not reach him. In his impression, there was no fourth-rank official surnamed Xing. Could it be that the girl from the Xing family was a girl from an official family who was lower than the fourth rank? ?

Auntie Tang in Xifu is in a daze, right?Or is there some misunderstanding?

"I don't know which family this Xing family girl belongs to." Liu Zhi frowned.

It stands to reason that girls from the Xing family are so old. If they were officials, they should have appeared in the circle of wives, but she really doesn't have the slightest impression of this girl from the Xing family. I don't know who this Xing family girl is.

Even Liu Zhi had no impression, Jia Fu was basically sure that even if the father of the girl from the Xing family was an official, he was just a petty official.

"Tomorrow, you go to the West Mansion to see Aunt Tang, and ask what's going on, especially to find out the details of this girl from the Xing family. Although Enhou is not in tune, he is also a first-class uncle. Girls who are lower than the fourth rank will even give him I'm not qualified to be a follower, and our Jia family is not a shabby household, so it's the turn of those girls from small families to be the successor?" Jia Fu said with an ugly face.

Seeing that Jia Fu's complexion was not good, Liu Zhi poured him a cup of tea, "Don't be upset, I'll go over tomorrow and ask what's going on."

……

The next day, when Liu Zhi came back from the West Mansion, her expression was unremarkable. When Jia Fu came back, she called someone to invite her.

Jia Fu temporarily put aside the matter in hand and went to the inner room.

"Ask clearly?"

Liu Zhi sighed, "Aunt Tang really wanted to find a continuation for Brother She, but she didn't say that she would hire this girl from the Xing family for Brother She. The girl from the Xing family was mentioned by the official media at Shangxi Mansion, so Aunt Tang asked her to come here. Let me see from our family, I have already returned to the old lady, it is absolutely impossible for this girl to pardon her younger brother, no matter what, she will have to wait for a year before sending someone to ask Zhang's opinion."

"You've done a good job. Keep an eye on this matter so that nothing happens." Jia Fu said.

Liu Zhi nodded, "I'll save it."

When she went to see Aunt Tang in Xifu today, she saw that although Aunt Tang didn't praise the Xing family girl, she didn't seem to have any strong objection either.

With Liu Zhi's intervention, the matter of Xi Mansion's Jia Amnesty continued to be suppressed. Liu Zhi didn't care about the Xing family's girl, and since she was not from their family, she couldn't afford to care about outsiders.

In the fifth year of Jingming, the eldest grandson of the fourth uncle Jia Dairu was born, and Jia Dairu named him Jia Rui.

Jia Amnesty's sequel has also been selected, it was chosen by the Zhang family, originally from Yangzhou, and the family is also a family of officials, the girl looks fine, except that her parents passed away early and were delayed for several years, and now she is almost two years old. It was ten, and I heard that Jia Amnesty was about to get a continuation. The girl's uncle was also afraid that the niece would not be able to get married, and that the Rongguo Mansion's family status was not high enough for ordinary people, so he asked his wife to come and talk to her. Liu Zhi had seen this girl before. I also thought it was good, and soon the two families finalized their marriage, and the wedding date was set at the end of the year.

On November [-]th, Jia Quan's second son was born, and Jia Fu named the grandson Jia Xiao.

When Jia Xiao was full moon, Mu Shi, the daughter-in-law of Jia Fu's second son, was diagnosed with pregnancy.

Ningguo's mansion was full of joy, but Jia Jing's mansion was in a bad mood. It has been more than two years since Jia Zhen got married, and her daughter-in-law's stomach still hasn't moved at all. Why is Jia Jing not in a hurry?He has only one son, Jia Zhen.

Turning the new year, on the first day of July, Mrs. Mu gave birth to Jia Ke's eldest son. Jia Fu already has three grandchildren, which can be called a full house.

Although the mansion is lively and lively, Jia Fu feels more and more that life is too boring. As far as officials are concerned, he has already achieved the top position, and the cabinet is already the highest position. thought.

When the emperor is tired, he will die of exhaustion. Who would be so reluctant to rebel?

Jia Fu intends to take Liu Zhi away from Beijing to play, but he can't get away at all. His grandson is still young and his son hasn't grown up yet. Both Ningrong and Rongfu are pointing at him to set up the door, relying on Jia She of the West Mansion?The entire Jia family can be defeated by him.

Jia Jing?He is doing well as an official now, but the Jia family already has a Marquis who is also a cabinet minister, Jia Jing's official position cannot exceed the second rank, unless Jia Fu withdraws from the cabinet one day, Jia Jing may go further.

Of course, now Jia Jing has not gotten into the position of the second rank. Although he is also a Tanhua, his luck in becoming an official is obviously much worse than his brother. Now it is TOEFL who is appointed as the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, the third rank.

In the eighth year of Jingming, Jia Ke's daughter-in-law gave birth to her second son, Jia Cang, and Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law finally gave birth to a son with great difficulty, but the blood collapsed after giving birth, and she survived for a day.

Jia Jing named the eldest grandson Jia Rong.

In April of the 17th year of Jingming, the Wang family of Xifu gave birth to a brother who was born with a jade title. If Jia Fu hadn't asked people to suppress the news, the whole capital would know that Jia's family had a brother who was born with a jade title.

Do you want to die?There is no prince born in the royal family, how do you want to die?

Because Jia Fu made people suppress the news, and it was rumored that the jade was obtained by seeking rather than being born with jade, the old lady Jia Shishi of Rongguo Mansion was not very happy, and she was also alienated from Ningguo Mansion.

But Jia Fu didn't care too much. The older the aunt was, the more confused her mind became.

Now people are in their sixties, such a long life is rare, and Jia Fu is too lazy to argue with the old lady, after all, she is a woman in the inner house, so expect her to think of more inside stories?

In the 20th year of Jingming, the emperor gave the throne to the prince, who was renamed Jianyuan after he ascended the throne.

In the general election in the first year of Jianyuan, Jia Yuanchun, the eldest daughter of Xifu, happened to be sixteen, and because she was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she was of noble birth, so she was selected into the palace without a doubt. With a high position and authority, Jia Yuanchun is still Jia Fu's niece even though Jia Yuanchun's relationship with Jia Fu is far away. The emperor obviously wanted to win Jia Fu over.

But the emperor didn't know that since the 17th year of Jingming, the second master Bao was born in Xifu, the relationship between Jia Fu and Xifu has been getting farther and farther. Now it seems that the relationship is good, but it's just because the two prefectures are adjacent.

However, Jia Zheng respected Jia Fu as always, but because of the old lady's affection, he couldn't get too close. Jia Zheng was famous for his filial piety, and the old lady didn't let the elders in the West Mansion be with the East Mansion. It's just that the old lady has never been here once.

Jia Fu even heard that the old lady let Baoyu sleep in a green cupboard in her yard.

Although I think it is not good for Xifu to keep boys in the inner house like this, and Jia Baoyu is now four or five years old, and has reached the age of enlightenment, why is he still raising the inner house?

The old lady is old, she likes her grandson, Jia Zheng is filial, and Mrs. Wang is a boring gourd, so naturally the old lady will do whatever she says.

Fortunately, Brother Hu and Brother Zhu in Xifu are promising. Brother Hu is now studying in the Imperial Academy. Brother Zhu passed the provincial examination in Jingming in 19 years, and failed the general examination in 20 years. After studying hard for two years, In the third year of Jianyuan, he was able to pass the exam.

Just after the end of the second year of Jianyuan, I heard that Yuanchun in the palace was pregnant. Although Jia Fu had never thought of becoming a dragon, the Jia family had already given birth to a concubine, so there was no reason not to help. Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, Jia Yuanchun must be played to death in the palace.

The next princess was born in Yuanchun in September, ranking sixth.

Jia Fu didn't feel disappointed either, instead he felt that the princess was pretty good, and she wouldn't have a bleak end like a concubine without children.

However, the emperor obviously did not give up trying to win over Jia Fu, nor did he treat Jia Yuanchun in the cold. Of course, the reason why Jia Yuanchun did win his favor could not be ruled out.

Although the first child was a princess, Yuan Chun was promoted to the position. When Yuan Chun was favored before, Jieyu, who was promoted from the nobleman of the sixth rank to the fifth rank, was promoted to the fifth rank within half a year. Now she gave birth to a princess, and she was promoted again. The concubine of the fourth rank also has a title, Xian.

In this dynasty, there are no noble, virtuous and virtuous concubines. Below the queen is the imperial concubine. Under the imperial concubine, there are two concubines, four concubines, and six concubines.

In the new year, bad news came from Yangzhou City. Jia Min, who married into the Lin family, died of illness. The old lady of Xifu was heartbroken, cried hard, and sent a maid to pick up her granddaughter.

When Jia Fu heard about it, he was also a little surprised. Although Jia Min didn't come to the East Mansion often when he was in her boudoir, Jia Fu still liked this cousin very much. This cousin is the most outstanding, and even Jia Fu's younger brother Jia Jing is not as good as this Min sister. If Min sister hadn't given birth to a female child, Jia Fu would have full confidence in helping the Jia family to teach a champion.

Pity……

At the end of the year, the cousin girl from the Lin family arrived in the capital, accompanied by another woman named Jia Yucun.

As soon as Jia Fu heard this, he felt that this person named Jia Yucun was a bit familiar, so he asked someone to check. He was actually fired a few years ago, and the evaluation was not very good. Just as he was thinking, he heard Xu Lin's voice outside the door.

"Master Hou, Mr. Zheng brought someone over to the manor to ask for an audience."

Jia Fu raised his eyebrows, this man really couldn't take it anymore, "Please come in."

After a while, Jia Zheng brought someone in and introduced each other. Sure enough, as Jia Fu expected, the person Jia Zheng brought was the Jia Yucun he had just remembered.

Jia Fu still had some impressions of this Jiayu Village. He remembered that in the few years when he first became a nobleman, there was a Jinshi in Beijing who won the first place in the second class.

This man's surname is Zhen, his first name is Fei, and his style name is Shiyin.

Jia Fu thought this person was very interesting at the time, because this person passed the Jinshi examination and did not enter the Imperial Academy or a foreign class. Instead, he resigned after being conferred and returned to his hometown.

Shi Yin was free and easy, and Jia Fu had a friendship with him. Before Shi Yin left, Jia Fu asked him why he did not become an official after passing the examination. At that time, Zhen Shiyin smiled and told him that he only wanted to see flowers every day They take pleasure in repairing bamboo, drinking wine and reciting poems.

In the following decades, Zhen Shiyin never contacted him again, but Jia Fu's medical clinics opened all over the country, so he naturally knew that Zhen Shiyin was at Changmen in Gusu.

As for Jia Yucun, if he remembered correctly, this person was funded by Zhen Shiyin. At that time, Zhen Shiyin wrote a letter to him, hoping that he could take Jia Yucun in for a while.

Jia Yucun...
