Before Feng Ziying went to Jiangnan, Jia Huan’s results in the Spring Festival Competition had already come out.
I have to say that Jia Huan worked hard.
He is a second-class Jinshi, but his ranking is relatively low. It is unlikely that he will become a Shujishi, but it is enough to honor his ancestors.
With Guan Yingzhen serving as the Minister of Rites, Feng Ziying didn't have much worries and didn't need much care. Since Jia Huan was successful in the imperial examination, he would naturally get good results in the imperial examination.
At this time, Feng Ziying should be more relaxed and calm, so as not to give others a thumbs up. Before the results of the palace examination came out, Jia Huan came here less often.
Of course, when the results of the palace examination came out, Jia Huan was also inexplicably excited. He went straight to Jia's house to find his sister to announce the good news, and he was satisfied.
At that time, Feng Ziying had already gone to Jiangnan.
"How do you feel?" Feng Ziying looked up and down at Jia Huan, who was wearing a blue Confucian shirt.
After not seeing him for a long time, this boy seems to have grown a little longer, the gloominess between his eyebrows has become much lighter, and his originally thin cheeks are more pleasing to the eye.
She was in excellent spirits and was obviously very satisfied with the current situation, with a somewhat complacent attitude that made Feng Ziying burst into laughter.
"Well, Brother Feng, to tell you the truth, this feeling may never be forgotten in my life." Jia Huan looked around in a high-spirited manner. Although he knew that it was inappropriate to do this in front of Brother Feng, he couldn't suppress the emotion in his heart.
Joy said, "I know I don't have much chance to select Shujishi in June, so I don't have extravagant hopes. So during this time, I will be at peace and ready to watch the government."
"From my personal point of view, the significance of being a Shujishi is not very great. You can't learn much in the Hanlin Academy. You still have to go out and practice. So I also mentioned to you at the beginning that observing politics does not necessarily have to be in the Imperial Academy.
The Seven Ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are more suitable to work at the local level, where you can see more and experience more, but the princes don’t agree with it, and they always feel that it should be placed in the court, and it depends on your department."
This is the truth, but Feng Ziying also knows that she cannot escape the shackles of the times. The experience and status of the Hanlin Academy and the Shu Jishi are temptations that any Jinshi cannot refuse. She is also aware of this situation, but she is not rushing towards it.
When I got up, my body was very honest.
"Brother Feng, do you think I should give it a try?" Jia Huan's words still revealed his thoughts.
If possible, who wouldn’t want to give it a try?
Feng Ziying laughed and said, "Why don't you give it a try? You're just a commoner, and it's only a few dozen numbers. It doesn't necessarily mean it won't work. Even if it doesn't work, it won't have any impact. Just go out and observe the government. What if it works?"
"Okay then, I will prepare carefully and try to be in the best condition for this fight."
Jia Huan is a person who can make up his mind and persevere. In Feng Ziying's view, Jia Huan may not necessarily be the best at studying, nor may he be strong in pioneering and innovative abilities, but his ability to execute things is worth looking forward to.
"Work hard and you won't regret it in the future." Feng Ziying encouraged, "Maybe if you two brothers are both in the Hanlin Academy, it will become a good story."
As soon as these words came out, Jia Huan's face suddenly became strange and embarrassed.
Jia Baoyu had already entered the Hanlin Academy, but he was just waiting for an imperial edict. From the ninth rank, Feng Ziying found a way and got him a favor.
After all, he was his brother-in-law. He slept from the time of Spring Festival and Yuanchun to Tanchun and Xichun. He also took away other people's hairpins. It can be said that all the luck in "A Dream of Red Mansions" has been transferred to him. Feng Ziying still felt a little bit in her heart.
If he feels guilty, it's normal to try to help him a little bit. At worst, he will have to work hard on his sisters to get it back.
It is not uncommon to find favors in the court. Many whose fathers are scholars and have served as important officials of the third rank or above have such opportunities.
However, people who asked for favors mostly stayed in the Imperial College.
There are also Hanlin Academy, but basically they don't go there in name, just like taking a temporary post in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. But Jia Baoyu actually went and did the job, which is rare.
The people who are waiting for imperial edicts come from the ninth rank. Generally, they come here only for those who have failed the examination for a long time and have no connections, or are scholars with some connections in their families.
This is really the first time that someone like Jia Baoyu came here purely for fame.
For a character like you who is not from the imperial examination, if you are a ninth grader, even if you go out in the future, you will not be allowed to enter the Seventh Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
When you go to the local level, you cannot be appointed as chief official, which means that you are not even qualified to be a county magistrate.
To be a county magistrate, chief registrar, or other assistant official, is it necessary to come to the Hanlin Academy to hang out? Enyin can directly serve as such an official.
That's why Jia Huan felt ashamed, but this was his brother who was a direct descendant of the Jia family, and he was a concubine, which made him feel even more ashamed.
But Jia Huan can't make the decision in the affairs of the Jia family. As people in Jia's family say, you can't allow Jia Huan to become a Jinshi and become a prosperous person in the future, but you don't allow your legitimate brother to go to the Hanlin Academy to get some status, right?
Jia Baoyu's mental aura after entering the Hanlin Academy was also extraordinary. Although Feng Ziying had not seen anyone during this period, he heard from Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun that Baoyu had visited the house during his trip to Jiangnan.
Li, Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun all met him, but Baochai did not because of physical inconvenience.
The girls all said that the Baoyu statue had changed into a different person. I heard from the people in the Jia family that they went to the Hanlin Academy early every day to study, compile history, and annotate the Book of Songs.
Taijun and Jia Zheng and his wife were both smiling and lamenting that it was not easy.
Noticing the weird look on Jia Huan's face, Feng Ziying laughed: "Brother Huan, the layout is bigger. At least you can't write two characters for Jia in one stroke. You are brothers and have the same blood. Even if you want to start a family and start a business alone in the future, you still can't do it."
There’s no need to be so outspoken.”
Jia Huan shook his head in self-mockery: "Brother Feng, maybe Brother Bao and I are born with different views as you said. He and I really have nothing in common and couldn't think of a way to go. Fortunately, you helped him
, he also reluctantly took the road, I really don’t have that much patience, just stay away from him, don’t try to persuade me on this point.”
Feng Ziying could only give up. It seemed that the wrong path between the two brothers had not changed from the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" to this time and space, and there was nothing she could do.
"Then let's talk about something else. If the government succeeds in selecting Shu Jishi, that's all. If not, where do you plan to go to observe the government?" Feng Ziying asked.
"I haven't thought about it. Does Brother Feng have any good suggestions?" Jia Huan hesitated and said: "I personally want to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Ministry of Punishment. Seven subjects are also acceptable, but..."
Feng Ziying also admitted in her heart that with Jia Huan's temperament, I am afraid that in the future, the most suitable ones would be the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment, or it would be more suitable to go to the Seventh Section to serve as an official. It seems that he himself has a relatively clear understanding of his own temperament, which is a good thing
.
"This time Enke, the court may also have some changes. I may have to go abroad in June. Are you interested in following me then?"
Feng Ziying's words immediately made Jia Huan's eyes light up, "Really, Brother Feng, you want to go out again, that's great, I don't want to stay in Beijing at all, if you want to go out, of course I am willing
If you go out to watch politics, where should you go?"
"It's not certain yet, but it's just possible. Now you have to go all out to choose a shujishi. If you can't become a shujishi, don't talk about coming with me." Feng Ziying encouraged: "The status of a shujishi is not important.
Look down, if you can be selected, it will be more beneficial to you in the future..."
Jia Huan couldn't listen anymore.
He had long been tired of living in Beijing, especially when he came home and saw the faces of Jia's mother, father and aunt.
Even though their attitude towards him was much better now, Jia Huan knew that deep down in their hearts, these people still had a deep-rooted indifference and indifference.
When he mentioned Brother Bao, he was very happy, and when he talked about himself, he forced himself to be happy, which made Jia Huan even feel panicked, so he always wanted to move out.
But none of his unmarried children moved out to live alone. If he wanted to break out of this depressing prison, Jia Huan felt that it would be fine if he didn't do it.
**********
Feng Ziying couldn't help but sigh, and found that her resistance to female sex was indeed too poor.
He declined Qin Keqing's several invitations.
But in the end, he still couldn't persist under Qin Keqing's temptation.
Not Qin Keqing herself, Zhen Baoqi and Shuitang originally just wanted to say a few words, but in the end they fell on the bed.
How did you get into bed? Feng Ziying looked at the sunlight coming through the papered window, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
The plumpness of Tang in the water can be grasped, Shui Zhen’s gentle cry, Mu Tan’s whisper, Mu Liu’s hard shaking of her hips, and Qin Keqing’s phantom hiding outside the window, all seem to have transformed into
A beautiful dream that makes me unable to extricate myself.
Feng Ziying didn't even bother to think about what Qin Keqing wanted to do.
Every move she makes is under his supervision, including the contact between Emperor Wan Tong and others sent by him.
This woman seems to be a little out of her mind, or she likes to interact with herself in this way, like a dragonfly touching water, coming and going quickly, making it unpredictable.
"It's not as complicated as you think." Qin Keqing sat in front of Feng Ziying and asked Shuitang and Mu Tan to dress Feng Ziying. "A group of poor people have nowhere to go. This hopeless life will drive people crazy. You
What should they do? This is just a way to remind you."
"Oh, it seems I'm overthinking?" Feng Ziying's face has returned to normal.
Qin Keqing looked calm, "It doesn't count, but asking for others is better than asking for yourself, so this is also a way to ask for yourself. Anyway, you won't go back on what you promised in bed."
Shui Rong and Mu Zheng are both waiting in Nanjing for disposal.
The Dali Temple in Nanjing, the Seven Ministries, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were all abandoned. In addition, the Shui family and the Mu family did not have many assets in Jiangnan, so Gu Bingqian had little interest in dealing with the Shui family and the Mu family.
Failure to deal with it means that you can only wait forever, which is undoubtedly a kind of suffering.
