Time flies by like water, and the four seasons rotate endlessly. When I look back, another five years have passed.
On this day at the end of May, Jia Lian was having lunch in Rongqing Hall with the old lady who was still energetic after several years. Now, Yuanchun and Jia Lian were no longer the only two children at the dining table in Rongqing Hall.
In addition to 11-year-old Yuanchun, five-year-old Big Face Bao, four-year-old Tanchun, and three-year-old Xichun are all here, and of course Yingchun who came with Jia Lian today.
Together with Jia Cong, who was born at the end of last year, and Jia Huan, who was born this year, the third generation of Rongguo Mansion can be said to be prosperous.
At this time, the person sitting at the top of the Rongqing Hall is of course the old lady Shi. The one sitting on the lower left of the old lady is Jia Lian, a first-grade military general. The person on the right of the old lady is naturally the famous Jia Baoyu.
.
The other four girls of Yuan Yingtanxi also sat down one after another. On the surface, they were naturally respected by Jia Yuanchun, the legitimate daughter of Jia Zheng, but in fact, Yingchun, who had been favored by "Qilin" since childhood and had the talent to refine gods, was not inferior to her at all.
, followed by Xichun and Tanchun.
Tanchun is Jia Zheng's concubine, but her parents are present, the old lady treats her well, and her situation is not bad. As for Xichun, Jia Jing's daughter, her mother is said to have died in childbirth, and Jia Jing himself is also in a difficult situation.
Embarrassing, he couldn't care less about her. He thought that raising her in Rongqing Hall was already Jia Jing's best option.
Therefore, Xichun is the youngest of the four girls and is in the most embarrassing situation, but she is also the most loved by the old lady. The sisters and big-faced girls around her are also very tolerant of her, so at least at this time, Xichun has the biggest smile on her face.
The most brilliant and pure one, at this young age, she didn't care about her status or anything like that.
In recent years, the old lady has designed and organized a "manager team" and an "inspection team" according to Jia Lian's suggestions, and has easily grasped the financial power of the Rongguo Mansion, and only devoted less than one-third of the energy in previous years, so
She still has a lot of time to care for and accompany her grandchildren, and enjoy the blessings on the way!
When Jia Lian finished his meal and was about to leave, the Rongxi Hall suddenly became lively and joyful.
When everyone in Rongqing Hall was about to send someone to ask what was going on, Jia Lian's eldest son, Wang'er, came to the door of the hall. When Jia Lian saw him, he called him in to ask.
"Second Master, Grandma, over at Rongxi Hall, Uncle Zhu has become a high school scholar! The messenger who announced the good news has just arrived over there."
As soon as these words came out, the entire Rongqing Hall was filled with joy. Many maids and women took turns turning to the old lady to congratulate her and ask for the reward. The old lady happily asked the Lai family to prepare the reward.
Most of the children had no idea about "scholars", but the eleven-year-old Yuanchun could already roughly understand the importance of scholars to his own brother, so he smiled very happily.
Until Yuanchun suddenly saw Jia Lian sitting there with a smile on his face, but there was something strange in his expression that she couldn't understand, so he moved closer to Jia Lian.
"What's the matter? Seeing that my brother Zhu was admitted as a scholar, is it disgusting?"
Jia Lian glanced at Yuan Chun inexplicably, thinking to himself, why do I have such a bad taste?
"Nonsense, what does my food taste like? That's not just your brother, he's also my brother."
"Then you still have a sullen face?"
"Why am I so sullen? Your second brother, I have specially practiced it. A smile like this is the most pleasing smile. You would think that all the young ladies in the capital city who are obsessed with me would be crazy when they see me."
Did you come for nothing?"
"Haha, second brother, you are so funny. I asked sister Qin Yu from the Ruyang Hou family last time, and she said she had never heard of you at all! Hehehe~"
"Huh, Marquis Ruyang? I've never heard of it. That sister Qin Yu of yours must be very ugly and not qualified to see me, so she said such weird things!"
"Hehe, second brother, just be happy. I'm going to see Brother Zhu to congratulate you. Will you go?"
"You actually question my great beauty. I don't want to care about you now. You can go alone. I have my beloved sister Yingchun, so it's okay not to have you!"
"Luanluoluo~ Sister Yingchun, come quickly, your second brother started saying strange things that you can't understand again!"
"..."
Jia Lian was speechless for a while looking at Jia Yuanchun, who became more and more talkative as he grew older.
But... looking at the family full of joy, Jia Lian was really wondering whether to try to save Jia Zhu.
With Jia Lian's control over the grounds of Rongguo Mansion, he naturally knew the daily living conditions of the second-brother Zhu.
Jia Zhu was more than two years older than Jia Lian, but she was thin, weak and sickly. Only her face did inherit the excellent genes of the Jia family, and she was extraordinarily handsome.
This guy was raised by the Wang family since he was a child, and had never been close to Jia Lian since he was a child. When he was five or six years old, Wang used his family's relationship with Jia Zheng to hire a scholar to educate him.
How could a half-declined earl family of the Wang family have such a great relationship with Zheng Lao Er? Although the invited Mr. Enlightenment was better than the Qing Tan Ke around Jia Zheng, his quality was extremely limited.
He is also an examiner who has not even understood Haoran's righteousness. According to the unspoken rules of the imperial examination, no matter how talented such a scholar is, he will never be among the top three.
Jinshi and the top three have an absolute requirement, that is, they must be able to cultivate a noble and upright spirit!
This is an unspoken rule jointly set by the imperial court and Confucianism.
The Wang family, a third-class martial arts family, and a rotten scholar like Jia Zheng, who has not even realized Haoran's righteousness, naturally do not know these secrets.
Therefore, although the Wang family knew that Jia Lian's mother-in-law was the second minister of the dynasty, she never thought of finding a way to study through the Zhang family.
With Wang's attitude, Jia Lian would not be able to put his hot face on someone else's cold ass.
It's just that as this "Brother Zhu" got older, he was forced to stay up late and study hard for many years, which eventually left hidden dangers to his body. In addition, Wang didn't know what his psychology was, and he actually started rewarding him two years ago.
She formally allowed the maid next to Jia Zhu to sleep with her...
Although such a life is enviable... and despised! But how can a young man control the excitement of eating marrow and knowing its taste?
Although the Wang family did set restrictions on the surface, secretly facing the personal maid who was neither afraid nor willing to refuse, Jia Zhu naturally took everything she asked for.
No, after just two years of fighting, Jia Zhu's body was on the verge of collapse!
It happened that at this time, Jia Zhu was selected as a scholar!
Winning the Scholarship! It means that everything Wang and others did before was right and legitimate.
At this stall, if Jia Lian told Jia Zhu that her "body collapsed", you can imagine how the people in the house would react.
Look at Jia Yuanchun just now. Even though he has been close to Jia Lian since childhood, when Jia Zhu was selected as a scholar and Jia Lian didn't seem to be very happy, this turned out to be "abnormal" in Jia Yuanchun's heart!
Of course, this does not mean that there is anything wrong with Yuanchun, but that the situation is like this and people’s hearts are like this!
