Chapter Forty-Three: A blockbuster known all over the world
At the Jinling Poetry Recital last night, Jia Yun's name resounded throughout Jinling Prefecture, so much so that it spread far and wide to the south of the Yangtze River. The reputation of Jia Yun was spread in Yangzhou Prefecture and other places. Even in Shenjing City, there were rumors about Jia Yun. Famous reputation.
After all, there are many talented people in the south of the Yangtze River. These people are rich, powerful, literary and elegant, and deeply admire the elegance of celebrities. Once a truly amazing genius appears, they will definitely take the initiative to publicize it, and pass it on from person to person, and from person to person. About Jia Yun's reputation , and it spread like this.
For a time, it seemed as if Jia Yun became famous overnight and the whole world was in an uproar.
.....
Rongguo Mansion.
"What? That Second Master Yun, Second Master Yun, who suddenly became stupid three years ago, not only recovered, but also became a scholar in Jinling Prefecture in the Jiangnan region and became the county's chief criminal? Hiss, this is terrible No way! I heard that those who can pass the county chief's examination in the Jiangnan area are all reserve soldiers for the number one scholar, or at worst they can pass the imperial examination."
"It's amazing, it's amazing. Among the descendants of the Jia Mansion in Shenjing, there can be such a great talent, a talented prodigy. It seems that Sister-in-law Bu's family is really going to be prosperous. Please go and match it with the generous gifts." , I’m going to visit Sister-in-law Bu.”
"Are you going now?"
"Otherwise! If you wait until Second Master Yun has passed the examination and returned home in glory, it will be too late to curry favor with you. Listen to me and do this immediately."
Everyone in Lin Zhixiao's family was discussing this matter. After Lin Zhixiao learned about this matter, he also thought about it and quickly ordered his wife to buy gifts and planned to visit Sister-in-law Bu, which could be regarded as activating contacts in advance. , it’s a matter of moving around, lest Jia Yun really rises to prominence and wants to rush to flatter her, it’s too late.
There are many people who think like Lin Zhixiao. Even Lai Da and Butler Lai of Rongguo Mansion are discussing this matter with their wives, "Then Second Master Yun is really prosperous. What does Jinling Mansion mean?" Place? How many talented people from the south of the Yangtze River have sacrificed their lives for a place in the imperial examination, but they still can't get a county prosecutor."
"Look at the old Confucian scholar from the Jia Mansion Free School. How old is he? He is still an old boy. He has never been a high school scholar, let alone a scholar."
"Then Second Master Yun is not as good as the weak crown, and he has not yet reached the age of twenty! The future is unlimited, and my son will also enter the officialdom in the future. If there is a capable person to look after others, the future road will be easier. .”
"I see that most of the young masters in the Jia Mansion are playboys. They are not great and cannot maintain the wealth and prosperity of the Jia Mansion. Now that Mr. Yun has truly stepped out, we naturally need to work out the relationship in advance. Okay, you go and pick out one or two good things in my room, and I'll go over there myself and pay a visit to Sister-in-law Bu."
Lai Da has already begun to plan the future for his son Lai Shangrong. Before, he really looked down on Jia Yun, let alone calling Jia Yun Second Master Yun. But now it is different. Now Jia Yun has a kind of flying spirit. He has great potential, and he has passed the scholar examination in the Jiangnan area. It is estimated that it will not be long before he is admitted to the imperial examination.
Once you become a Juren, you will have the status of a master!
Even if Jia Yun goes out independently and does not rely on the glory and wealth of the Jia family, she can still get ahead and become a master.
Not to mention that Jia Yun may become a Jinshi in the future, which would be great!
Thinking of this, it is impossible for Lai Da to really ignore this matter.
Mr. Lai also pondered for a moment, and he was also a well-informed and knowledgeable person. Therefore, he quickly went to prepare gifts according to Mr. Lai's wishes, and went to Sister-in-law Bu's house to visit the widowed mother of Mr. Yun's family.
Wang Xifeng, who was walking in the courtyard of Jia Mansion, saw these servants carrying gifts and walking in a hurry. It was obvious that they had something to do. For a moment, she became confused and hurriedly called the people in Lin Zhixiao's house.
Said: "Lin Zhixiao's family, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
"Replying to Second Grandma Lian, I am going to the fifth sister-in-law's house in the west corridor. I heard that her son, Second Master Yun, has become a scholar in Jinling Prefecture High School County. I only look forward to the autumn of August and win the prize again
It would be even more serious if you were to lift a person!"
"Therefore, I'm going over there in advance to get to know each other and get closer to each other."
Lin Zhixiao saw that he really couldn't hide it, and knew that sooner or later this matter would become known to everyone, so he answered quite honestly.
The people in Lin Zhixiao's family were rare loyal servants in the Rongguo Mansion. Although Wang Xifeng called him "deaf in the sky" and "dumb in the earth", he was really a far-sighted person who could not be compared with ordinary people.
At this time, Lin Zhixiao not only had thoughts and ideas about fawning over Jia Yun's family in the past, but also planned to go over and ask about the relationship in advance to find a future marriage for his daughter Lin Hongyu. If he could find a marriage for his daughter as soon as possible,
A good family is also a wonderful thing.
Lin Zhixiao naturally did not dare to tell Wang Xifeng these thoughts and thoughts. After finishing his reply, he became "deaf" and "mute" and refused to say anything more.
Wang Xifeng felt bored when she saw this, and suddenly heard about Jia Yun, and was slightly moved. After letting Lin Zhixiao's family go, she quickly found her close maid Ping'er and sat on the carved velvet pit.
He tilted his head slightly and asked calmly: "So, do you know everything about Brother Yun?"
"Reporting to Second Grandma Lian, I only just found out about this thing!"
"Then Second Master Yun accidentally hit his head two years ago, and he became stupid for a while. But he suddenly got better a few days ago."
"First, I was thought to be the gardener of Ningguo Mansion by Young Master Rong of Ningguo Mansion. Then, for some reason, I planned to take the imperial examination and seek fame."
"I heard that when he left, Brother Qiang and Young Master Rong from Ningguo Mansion went to see him off in person, and even gave him money before leaving!"
Ping'er was stunned when he heard this, and immediately told Wang Xifeng everything he knew.
"So, then Brother Yun is still a person now?"
Wang Xifeng thought about her conversation with Lin Zhixiao again, and couldn't help but think deeply. After a long time, she looked at Ping'er and said, "Go to the accounting office now and pay one hundred taels of silver to prepare it. Later, I will also go to visit you personally."
That’s the fifth sister-in-law.”
In the past, Jia Yun had no identity and status, so Wang Xifeng would not think highly of her. However, Jia Yun is different now. She is already a high school scholar. If we meet again next year, she will probably be a candidate for the imperial examination.
Returning to her hometown in fine clothes, rich and prosperous, she can be regarded as a promising child of the Jia family. In any case, as the de facto housekeeper of the Rongguo family, she must come forward to win over her, so as not to alienate her relatives and take advantage of outsiders for no reason.
