Jia Minqi's family in the Red Chamber

Baochai is used to greeting people with a smile.

It was the first time in her life that she hit a wall when she made friends with Daiyu Miaoyuyinglian and other officials, and even ladies from gentry families.

For the first time, she realized the difference between officials and businessmen: because everyone is related, Daiyu is polite when she is close to her, but in the eyes of the sisters around her, what can she do if she is not polite to her?

This further strengthened Baochai's determination to succeed.

One day, she will be able to sit high in the resplendent and resplendent hall, ordering all the wives to bow their heads and bow down at her feet, only then will she live up to her lifelong aspirations.

Baochai had something on her mind, so she didn't delay in dealing with Baoyu.

Baoyu also thought this sister was very amiable, and she smiled much more than when he was talking to sister Daiyu.

Aunt Xue looked at her cousins ​​and brother Biren talking and laughing at Yan Yan, and the smile on her face softened, "The two of them hit it off."

Mrs. Wang also laughed, "Baoyu can talk to anyone." Remembering that when her sister-in-law's family came over, she and Baoyu were both angry, and their faces became lighter.

Mrs. Wang is more casual in front of her own sister, and Aunt Xue could have noticed the change in her face, "What's wrong?"

As soon as the words came out, I felt a little regretful. My sister and her sister-in-law never got along. Mr. Lin and his family have been back to Beijing for some time. Why is my sister unhappy?

Mrs. Wang shook her head slightly, "It's just that the weather has become busy, and I feel a little uncomfortable." She also knew why she was so depressed that she couldn't express it, even to her own sister.

Aunt Xue said about her sister's words: "Doctor, please take care of yourself. Brother Zhu is in high school, seeing a bright future, and my sister's good life is just around the corner." When returning to Beijing, the master is expected to donate to the official, and we Baochai see it She also wanted to be a nobleman... After thinking about it like this, she gained a bit of confidence.

If it wasn't for Brother Zhu, why would she swallow her anger?

Mrs. Wang settled down, and finally couldn't help laughing, "Which is the sure thing?"

Zhu Ge'er has made up her mind since she was a child, and she, as a mother, can't control her. In this regard, she is really not as considerate as Baoyu...but Zhu Ge'er is her reliance.Mrs. Wang then sighed softly: "He will go south to study again in a few days, and he can't be persuaded."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Isn't it good for Brother Zhu to make progress? I think Brother Pan will also make progress... After all, this matter still falls on his father."

Mrs. Wang couldn't help thinking: The eldest daughter-in-law is a virtuous person, but she is not easy to handle.As Baoyu's daughter-in-law, she wanted to choose someone who was worry-free and caring. After thinking about it, her eyes fell on Baochai who was smiling all over her face.

Sister and brother-in-law are going to let this girl enter the palace... Why can't Mrs. Wang understand?But for three consecutive dynasties, there was no favored merchant woman in the palace, so it would be better to let my sister and brother-in-law run into a wall, wouldn't it be better at that time?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang's smile deepened.

Baochai is shrewd, her aunt's eyes fell on her once or twice... She naturally guessed a little bit of her aunt's thoughts.In all fairness, the Rong Mansion is not as good as it used to be, but it is also a dignified family.

But it is said that Aunt Xue brought her daughter to visit. When Jia Mu met, she showed her fatigue after a few pleasantries, and asked Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and sisters to talk by themselves.

At this moment, Mother Jia is leaning on the pillow, also thinking about something on her mind: she intends to make the two Yu'er kiss each other better.But neither the daughter nor the second daughter-in-law are happy.

The second daughter-in-law is fine, but the daughter has always had her own ideas, and the son-in-law obeys her. If she doesn't want to, the marriage will be difficult.Think again of her daughter's words "Let Baoyu study and improve": I don't like reading, but love to hang out in the inner room. If the reputation spreads, it will not only be difficult for Baoyu to talk about marriage, but even Zhu Ge'er's future will be affected.

The censors have the sharpest eyes, and their writing is even more ruthless.

Although Jia's mother didn't feel very comfortable at the time, she also understood that her family was not the time when the Duke was still there after all.

As soon as the Duke of Guo left, the eldest son reunited, and Lian's brother married a wife, but he didn't find a decent official lady from a famous family - the eldest son has a rank of nobility.

The daughter said it very harshly at the time: The marriage has not been smooth these years, the reason is that the decent families in Beijing feel that the title of Rongfu may not be passed on.

She was startled immediately, and reluctantly said, "Didn't your second brother send Yuan Chun into the palace?"

The daughter said again: "How many days can the glory be preserved? How many families in the world can rely on women for longevity."

Mother Jia finally let her daughter persuade her.The daughter's mother-in-law's seniors have gone, so she can devote herself to helping her natal family.

Mother Jia wanted Baoyu to make progress, so she planned to let Baoyu go south to study with Brother Zhu-she was willing to separate her grandson from her, and there was no reason for her son and daughter-in-law to disagree.

In the evening, when Aunt Xue's mother and daughter were leaving, Mother Jia asked her second son to come and talk.

Jia Zheng listened to his mother's idea, so he couldn't refuse directly, but said, "Baoyu is still young, but it's just an enlightenment. After all, it's simple, and studying in Beijing is enough."

The two sons were all sent to his brother-in-law to teach, and his reputation was not good: if others said that he couldn't even support his son, what face would he have?Note... people's words are scary!

After Jia Zheng returned to his room, he pulled Mrs. Wang and muttered, "Mother wants Baoyu to go south to study too. Just ask, who persuaded me to do this?"

Mrs. Wang, who had been sulking for days because of a few words for my sister-in-law, couldn't hold back, and blurted out, "Who else?!"

As soon as the words came out, she felt a little regretful, but she was clumsy and didn't know how to round it up for a while, so she didn't speak at all.

Jia Zheng pondered for a moment, then said, "My sister is also kind."

How can she be so kind?Mrs. Wang did not say this after all.

Jia Zheng remembered that he and his brother-in-law were not as speculative as before, and sighed, "Let's rest."

Of course, Jia Min didn't know about the "little disturbance" at her natal family last night, if she knew, she would be dumbfounded.

She hadn't been free these days in Beijing: this morning she had just returned from someone else's house, and in the afternoon she welcomed the Xue family, except for Xue Pan.

It is said that Xue Huan inquired carefully several times: If he used money, he could buy a third-rank general counsel doctor, but what is the use of such a loose official who only needs money? !What he wants is to donate a real shortage, even if the rank is slightly lower, it is still an official, the key is to give some help to his daughter.

For many nobles, even if they are taking concubines, they not only need to seek good looks, but also have to be taken care of by their natal family: there are many girls like this in the back houses of nobles who have good looks but no family background. Tongfang...

However, Xue Huan knew that the purpose of donating an official could not be hidden from others, especially a capable person like Lin Hai, so it would be better to say it generously, anyway, it is considered open-minded, isn't it?

Hearing Xue Huan's words, Lin Hai really sighed, "It's not easy. If you want to know where there is a vacancy, you have to keep an eye on the official department." He thought for a while, and introduced an old acquaintance to Xue Huan, wrote a note and handed it to Xue Huan Huan said, "This lord is in charge of the Ministry of Officials."

It is said that Xue Huan was overjoyed. After leaving the Lin family, it didn't take long for him to get online with the head of the official department, but at this time Lin Hai also received the official document and was about to leave for Hangzhou to be his Taoist platform.

Traveling by land and water, the Kung Fu family arrived in Hangzhou in a few days.

After arriving in office, Lin Hai was busy handing over to his predecessor, meeting with Shangfeng, meeting his colleagues... His subordinates also wanted to come to see him, Shangfeng, in batches.

Correspondingly, Jia Min was also busy entertaining these officials and their relatives in his house.

Jia Zhu, who came to Hangzhou with her uncle and aunt's family, was very caring and offered to help a lot with foreign affairs; as for the domestic affairs, Jia Min always called her daughter Daiyu when dealing with them.

The whole family worked together for a full month before they settled down properly.The weather this day was very good, not to mention the sunshine, and the breeze was blowing on the face, no longer the sweltering heat of the previous few days.

It's rare to be free, but Jia Zhu didn't study and drink with her classmates, but took her cousin Daiyu out to relax.After walking around for a while and coming back...he sent his sister back, and deliberately "refused to leave" at his aunt's place, obviously he had something to say.

Jia Min sent her daughter to change her clothes, and ordered the girl to serve Jia Zhu tea, before saying, "Are you... are you still keeping secrets with your aunt?"

Jia Zhu put down the teacup and said honestly, "My uncle has read my article. Next year, I can win in the middle, but the ranking will not be good. At most, it will be at the bottom of the top two."

Brother Zhu is only in his early twenties, so there is no need to worry. Scholars in their 30s are considered young talents.Jia Min asked, "What are your plans?"

But when Lin Hai was returning home, he happened to meet Jia Zhu going out from the second gate.

After Jia Zhu saluted, the two exchanged a few words.When Lin Hai stepped into the door, he asked, "Is this the Three Treasures Palace?"

Jia Min laughed and said, "Master guesses right. But can you guess what he begged me for?"

Lin Haidao: "I advise him not to go to the next subject." Could it be that he came to plead for mercy?This kid has always been a sensible person.

Jia Min nodded and said: "What brother Zhu said to the master is more caring than what my second brother said. He wants to take a look at Mr. Han."

Lin Hai suddenly realized, "So that's the case."

Jia Zhu intends to go to the county magistrate to learn how to govern a county. After all, except for the first-class Jinshi, most people start from the county magistrate.And my uncle is already a Daoist, so studying by his side... is a bit too ambitious.

Lin Hai praised him sincerely, "This child is rare."

Jia Min agreed very much, "All the aura of my natal family is in him."

Lin Hai looked at Jia Min and said seriously, "I don't agree with that." After saying that, the tenderness in his eyes almost leaked out.

Jia Min let the master hold her, and after a while, she turned her head and said, "Well, the master is right."
