Chapter 1695: Once you enter the Hou family, it is as deep as the sea (22)
The third rumor is that I don’t know what happened in the Dingyuan General’s Mansion. After Wei Rongzu’s leg was broken, Dingyuan General Wei Zhanfeng actually asked for a place in the Imperial College. He only waited for Wei Rongzu’s leg to be healed before sending his son to the Imperial College.
read.
This is really big news, because the Imperial Academy is strict in its governance and the Imperial Academy is an upright person, so all the imperial students must pass the exam to enter.
A second-generation ancestor like Wei Rongzu, who had not studied seriously for a few days, was able to enter the Imperial College to study. It was like something that was thought to be impossible, but it happened.
It is said that Wei Zhanfeng personally exchanged his military merits for this quota from the emperor. If it had not been for the matter of entering the Imperial Academy, General Dingyuan might have been granted a title because of his sufficient military merits.
However, Wei Zhanfeng's behavior violated the rules of the Imperial College, so his military achievements were wiped out.
However, in order to appease Wei Zhanfeng, the emperor still gave him a lot of gold and silver jewelry as a show of favor.
But what jewelry can be more important than the previous title, especially when the beneficiary is Wei Rongzu, the eldest son of a concubine, and the General Dingyuan Mansion has already caused a huge quarrel over this. .??.
General Dingyuan's wife, He, had already fallen out with Wei Zhanfeng and Wei Rongzu over this. Her image as a good mother in the past had completely collapsed, and she had to force Wei Zhanfeng to get the quota back and give it back to her biological son.
Wei Zhanfeng ignored the disturbance and quickly left home and went to the military camp. However, he ordered the housekeeper to send teachers of various subjects to the house to supplement Wei Rongzu with various knowledge to prevent Wei Rongzu from being unable to keep up with his study progress after going to the Imperial College.
On the day before leaving, the guards at the city gate clearly saw Wei Zhanfeng carrying a long object wrapped in rags on his back, riding majestically toward the military camp.
Poor Wei Rongzu had his leg splinted and had to accept the knowledge baptism from the teachers. From that day on, he never came out to have fun with his former friends.
But that’s all for another day!
The fourth rumor is that the declining Huaiyin Marquis Mansion made a fortune by selling family heirlooms. The pigs were driven home one by one, and the bones were thrown out in baskets.
Not only pigs, but their family also bought two cooks, two sweepers, ten maids, and a concierge, and everyone was helping them count them.
I just don’t know if the ancestors of Huaiyin Houfu under Jiuquan will crawl out from the ground and strangle them to death after knowing that their descendants are prodigal and have sold all their ancestors’ good things.
The fifth rumor is still related to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion. One day, a small carriage from the General Dingyuan Mansion drove directly into the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion.
Anyone with eyesight discovered that the person sitting in the carriage seemed to be the concubine of General Dingyuan and the biological aunt of Wei Rongzu.
After that day, on Zhuque Street, the busiest street in the capital, a shop that had been vacant for a long time was covered with red cloth, as if it was preparing to reopen.
Some good people inquired and found out that this shop, which was difficult to buy even with money, was once the concubine's dowry, and they didn't know what she wanted to sell.
What's more, the chief clerk of the yamen got drunk and let it slip that the concubine's shop had actually been transferred to the eldest daughter of the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion.
As soon as this news came out, the whole place was in an uproar. Everyone knew that the second girl from the Lan family had received 120,000 taels of silver from Wei Rongzu, and even caused Wei Rongzu to have his leg broken by his father.
Not only did the concubine not come to find trouble, she also came to deliver the goods to the shop. Is this really what a mother would do?
Because these rumors sound so fresh, they have been spreading in Beijing.
It has not dissipated and has become the main pastime for everyone after dinner.
Lan Ruyu sat in the room and watched Jin Qing making weapons seriously.
Recently, there are servants in the family, and they have more free time every day. Therefore, whenever there is nothing wrong, Lan Ruyu will stay by Jin Qing's side and watch Jin Qing in a daze.
She really couldn't figure out how her eldest sister suddenly became so powerful. If she hadn't seen the birthmark on her arm, she would have even doubted whether the person in front of her was her eldest sister!
Lan Ruyun came running in from the outside with a roar, "Sister, I heard that General Dingyuan actually used his military merit to give the second generation ancestor a place in school. He took advantage of it this time."
Hearing Lan Ruyun's harsh cry, Lan Ruyu shook her head helplessly, "What's all the fuss about?"
Giving Lan Ruyu a look that said it's none of your business, Lan Ruyun rushed to Jin Qing's side and reached out to hold Jin Qing's arm. "Sister, tell me if Marquis Dingyuan's brain got caught in the door when he went out, okay?"
He didn't want to be a Marquis, so he actually asked for a place to study. The second generation ancestor of his family is still studying, so his brain must have been soaked in the pit, hahaha."
Listening to Lan Ruyun's words becoming more and more outrageous, Lan Ruyu sighed. How old is he to be so ignorant?
Really unable to stand Lan Ruyun's stupid image, Lan Ruyu explained: "After seeing our family, you know that being knighted is not necessarily a good thing. General Dingyuan's military merit is indeed enough, but not everyone's military merit is enough."
All can be knighted.
Relying on the military merits of his ancestors, Duke Zhen Guo always wanted to turn himself into a king with a different surname, but the emperor never expressed his stance.
This time, General Dingyuan was granted the title of marquis. It was probably the people of Zhen Guo Gong who were behind it.
But he is shrewd, and General Dingyuan is not stupid. If he really gets a title, and his family has no children who can support him, the title will become a guillotine hanging high, and it may fall off at any time.
And if the emperor had a problem with him because of this, wouldn't he be used as a gunman by the Duke of Zhenguo for nothing?
Now, the fact that General Dingyuan exchanged his military merit for a place in the Imperial College was not only an expression of his feelings to the emperor, but also a test of the emperor's attitude. If the emperor agreed to exchange his place for a place, it would mean that the emperor did not really want to grant him the title.
He had no intention of touching his title.
But if the emperor does not agree to the exchange of military merits and insists on granting him a title, it means that the emperor will take action against General Dingyuan's mansion, and he will have to make plans in advance."
After finishing a long series of words, Lan Ruyu looked at the stunned Lan Ruyun and said, "Do you understand?"
Lan Ruyun, who was dizzy by these words, blinked and said, "I understand."
Lan Ruyu picked up a cup of tea and asked, "What do you understand?" Why didn't she think this sister understood it?
Lan Ruyun looked at Lan Ruyu's calm face and said, "None of them are good things."
Lan Ruyu snorted, and the tea almost spurted out of her nose. She shouldn't have had hope for this sister.
Lan Ruyun avoided Lan Ruyu in disgust and turned to look at Jin Qing, "Sister, why did General Dingyuan give his place in school to that ignorant prodigal? Isn't that obviously a waste?
What’s more, I don’t know if the prodigal can stand up!”
Thinking of Wei Rongzu's arrogant appearance, Lan Ruyun felt itchy with hatred.
At this time, Jin Qing, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "If he can stand up, I will be able to take advantage of him!"
None of them are good birds. The third rumor is that I don’t know what happened in the Dingyuan General’s Mansion. After Wei Rongzu’s leg was broken, Dingyuan General Wei Zhanfeng actually asked for a place in the Imperial College, and just waited for Wei Rongzu’s leg to heal.
