"Hmph, the Imperial College offers wine, it's nothing more than a poor man!"
Listening to Lian Er's tone, he spoke highly of Li Shouzhong, the Imperial College's sacrificial wine, so he naturally looked up to Li Wan, Zhu's sister-in-law, and immediately became unhappy.
In her opinion, Li Wan was nothing but a young lady from a poor official's family. She was nothing at all.
Apart from anything else, Li Wan only carried the dowry at fifty-four when he entered the house, which was far behind her eighty-eight.
Moreover, when the dowry was displayed, the dowry given by Li Wan was also quite shabby, just a bunch of calligraphy, paintings and books of no apparent value.
Not to mention that she doesn't like him, how many people in the entire Rong Mansion can like him?
"Hey, second grandma, you still don't like the grand Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine?"
Lian Er was speechless and said angrily: "Believe it or not, your proud uncle really doesn't have the guts to confront the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine!"
"How can it be?"
"Is that impossible?"
Lian Er sneered and said, "I really want to piss off the Imperial College's offering of wine. Unless you, the Wang family, have all the geniuses in reading, as long as Li Shouzhong is alive, none of your Wang family members will be able to pass the Jinshi exam. Do you believe it or not?"
"My aunt really doesn't believe it!"
Although her heart was chilling, Wang Xifeng still said stubbornly: "What is the status of our four major families in Jinling..."
"Forget about the four major families in Jinling. It's enough to scare ordinary people. How dare you go against those famous academies in Jiangnan?"
Lian Er was very funny and thought Feng Lazi was too arrogant.
It is no joke that the Great Qian Dynasty will be peaceful for a hundred years. Just look at the origins of the cabinet ministers to know how powerful the civil service group is.
Is it possible that Wang Ziteng still dares to confront the cabinet minister?
In the past, his thoughts and thoughts were similar to Wang Xifeng's.
I feel that Xungui is powerful, and the Xungui family is the real power.
But after being awakened by Jia Rong, her views on many things almost changed 180 degrees.
Your noble power is indeed astonishing, but why is he so firmly suppressed by the cabinet in the court?
At this time, although the situation of Wen Hui and Wu Jian had not yet appeared, the civil servant group was faintly suppressing the military general Xun Gui group. This is an indisputable fact.
And Jia Zhu's marriage to Li Wan was definitely a very subtle move.
If Jia Zhu wants to take the imperial examination and become an official, this trick can at least save him a lot of trouble and disadvantages.
The imperial examination for the children of noble families is more difficult than for ordinary scholars.
Anyone who knows something about the situation in the court will know that those who want to take the imperial examination and become an official will either be controlled by the so-called scholarly families or monopolized by many academies.
It can be said that if you don't have a certain scholarly family or academy background, it will be extremely difficult to get admitted to the Jinshi.
Of course, people like Jia Jing, a cultivator of immortality, are special cases.
Jia Jing, a cultivator of immortality, did not have any extraordinary talent. It was just that the Ningrong and Ningfu were so powerful that the civil servants did not dare to interfere with Jia Jing.
It can be said that Jia Zhu and Li Wan got married, which saved them this trouble.
In the past, Lian Er didn't know the secret here, or he found out about it while chatting with Jia Rong.
You can imagine the shock in my heart at that time. I didn't expect that Brother Zhu's marriage to Li Wan would have such great benefits and connections.
As for Li Wan's dowry, Jia Rong also said that those inconspicuous ancient books, paintings and calligraphy were all family heirlooms.
Not to mention anything else, especially the annotations of the Four Books and Five Classics annotated by Li Shouzhong, they can be regarded as the core inheritance in a middle-level scholarly family.
As the Imperial College's sacrificial wine, his status can be said to be quite transcendent.
Not only is he a world-famous Confucian master, but he can also understand first-hand the trends and changes in the court.
His commentary on the Four Books and Five Classics naturally incorporated his own understanding of the situation in the court and the world, which is quite remarkable.
It may not catch the emperor's eye, but it is in line with the taste of the imperial examination examiners who are scholars, and this is enough.
Even if the emperor doesn't like this style of article, by the time he has the energy and leisure to read it, the scholar who wrote the article will at least be a Jinshi.
Jia Rong explained all these methods clearly to him.
He also said that the servants of Ningrong's second house are all a bunch of unscrupulous people.
They only like yellow and white things. Even if truly good things are placed in front of them, they will not be able to recognize them.
I hope that the core members of the two governments will not be so proud and complacent.
At that time, Jia Rong made it very clear that as long as he made good use of the relationship between the Imperial College and the imperial examination and obtained some good things about the imperial examination, the family would not have to worry about the lack of candidates for imperial examination in the future.
How did those famous families in history maintain their long-lasting prosperity?
The most likely possibility is that they have a part of the power of interpretation. Relying on this part of the power of interpretation alone is enough for the family to continuously have officials who are established in the court.
Seeing that there was something wrong with Wang Xifeng's mentality, Lian Er directly told the information with a smile and a leisurely voice.
Wang Xifeng was stunned for a while. How did she know these secrets?
Because the Wang family upholds the belief that "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue", both Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng are semi-literate who only know common words and have not really read, and they lack understanding of many things.
"No way. My sister-in-law's dowry can be used as the core inheritance of a middle-class scholarly family. This is too exaggerated!"
"Is it an exaggeration? No, it's not an exaggeration at all!"
Lian Er smiled bitterly and said: "Especially from a scholarly family that has produced top scholars, it is easy to form a scholarly family. Isn't there a core inheritance that can continuously cultivate talents in certain fields?"
"Even if Ningrong and his two palaces are average, if they want to train generals, it won't be difficult for them, but it's just quite taboo!"
Speaking of this, he said with a deep smile: "Even though Uncle You is so prosperous right now, there are no reserve talents for training among the children of the Wang family!"
"It's hard to say whether the Wang family will be able to maintain its current glory when your uncle gets old and frail!"
Lian Er already told Wang Xifeng what needed to be said.
As for what Wang Xifeng will do, Lian Er has no control over it.
He was very busy day and night. Not only did he have to deal with some of the external affairs of Rong Mansion, but he also couldn't let down his guard at the nugget shop.
At the same time, I have to strengthen contact with Jia Rong, hoping to get more fresh weapons from his hands, which are all in vain.
Jia Rong has no time for leisure here either.
After his grandmother, Mrs. Zhao, cleaned up the restless family and children in the mansion, he gradually started military management in the central and outer courtyards of the mansion, and at the same time restored the management model of the mansion during the period of the two military bosses.
And he himself began to practice martial arts openly and strengthen his body...
