Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 270 Brothers get together for a drink, subordinates come to report
Chapter 270 Brothers get together for a drink, subordinates come to report
Similar conversations are taking place in every home in Shenjing.
This polo match is actually an occasion for many families to examine potential marriage candidates.
For people like the Yu brothers and sisters, even if they lose in the end, their evaluation is still not low.
In the eyes of those who are not too pedantic, those who can play the game will at least be in good health. In this era of extremely poor information exchange, even asking a matchmaker to inquire, or even asking for a portrait will be distorted.
Sometimes, what you hear is not as good as seeing it with your own eyes.
The one who is talked about the most is Jia Lan, who is in the limelight. I don’t know how many people silently list Jia Lan as a candidate for marriage.
If Jia Lan hadn't been born in Rongguo Mansion and was a bit sensitive, I'm afraid he would have been blocked by someone when he went out today.
The next day, I was still drunk at Qionglou.
"Brother, it's better for you to live in the second brother's house during this period. After all, this Shenjing is not as good as Guangnan. The climate, water and soil are different. Your body..."
Liang Yong is from Guangnan. Although he has been traveling since he was young, he is still not accustomed to the local environment.
Two years ago, when Jia Lan said goodbye to Liang Yong, he gave him several doses of special medicine. Later, he also used it, but not on Liang Yong, but on his friends who were traveling with him.
Jia Lan was worried that Liang Yong would not adapt, and it was also a cold winter this year, so he and Qin Zhong persuaded Liang Yong to live in Qin Zhong's house.
In this era, it was common for students who came to Beijing to take the imperial examination to stay in the homes of officials with their famous posters.
Liang Yong smiled and shook his head, insisting on staying at the Guangnan Guild Hall in Shenjing.
Jealousy and hatred come from difference and difference.
A disaster made Liang Yong put down his aloof status in the past. Unlike Jia Lan and Qin Zhong, he was not a son of an official. He simply took this opportunity to communicate with other scholars in the guild hall, which not only broadened his knowledge, but also paid attention to Jia Lan.
Information between candidates.
Hearing this, Jia Lan and Qin Zhong no longer insisted.
"Third brother, you really stole the show yesterday, especially when you defeated those Chen people cleanly, which greatly increased our prestige."
As they talked, Liang Yong, Qin Zhong and Jia Lan, the three sworn brothers, chatted about yesterday's polo while eating wine.
Qin Zhong smiled and said: "You don't know, many people came to me yesterday to inquire about you. You can imagine how popular you are."
As a witness, Liang Yong also echoed again and again. The eldest and second brothers laughed, but Jia Lan was the only one who looked very embarrassed after hearing this.
He didn't expect that it would have such a side effect after the game.
Following Jia's mother's conversation last night, the two brothers once again reminded Jia Lan that she was almost at the age to discuss marriage before she knew it.
"Zhu Xi's Family Rites" says that men can get married at the age of sixteen. Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty issued a decree and implemented it accordingly. It will not be long until next year, when Jia Lan will be fourteen years old. According to the customs of the ancients, it is time to start looking for a suitable family.<
/p>
If you are in a hurry to get married, you will have to go through several rounds of correspondence first, choose the person, and then go through three letters and six rituals, then the time will be almost up.
Yesterday, Jia's mother suddenly mentioned Jia Baoyu's marriage, which gave Jia Lan a headache. He had a feeling that the old lady's sudden move might disrupt his original plan.
What should I do about my relationship with Daiyu?
Originally, Jia Lan had planned to take the imperial examination and enter the official career, then achieve several great achievements, and use these achievements to ask the Holy Father for a marriage.
That's right, granting a marriage is the best way Jia Lan can think of.
After all, Lin Daiyu is an elder. If she wants to suppress all kinds of gossip, she can only use her royal power to suppress it.
As for the meritorious service, he is already preparing it. He is just waiting to confirm the success and find a suitable opportunity...
Jia Lan sighed secretly.
Originally, he calculated that he had plenty of time.
Because he knew that with Jia Baoyu's temperament, he would never let his sisters get married, especially Daiyu.
It's useless for anyone to stop it. Phoenix Egg said it, even if the ancestors come, they won't have to say it.
Mother Jia loves to be lively and enjoys having her children and grandchildren around her knees. Naturally, others will not make her unhappy.
In this way, if Jia Baoyu does not marry a wife for a day, it will be left to Jia Lan to make arrangements.
I don’t know what the old lady was thinking of, but she actually took the initiative to mention Baoyu’s marriage last night, but she only started to mention it but didn’t say a word. It was really disappointing.
Although he felt a little more urgent, Jia Lan still felt at ease.
But if he knew that someone had an idea for Daiyu last night, I don’t know if he would be so calm.
"Master!"
Jia Lan was stunned when suddenly the shopkeeper of the restaurant came in and bowed to him. Seeing that he seemed to have something to report, Jia Lan made a complaint and walked with the shopkeeper to the corner of the private room.
"Uncle Zhao, why should I trouble you to tell you something in person?"
Zuiqiong Tower is the most important property in Jia Lan's hands. Naturally, everyone from top to bottom is a direct descendant of Beizhuang. The shopkeeper's surname is Zhao Zushang, who is also a soldier of Rongguo. He was later recruited back by Jiao Da.
Shopkeeper Zhao has an average appearance. He always wears a standard smile. He is slightly bloated and has a big belly. At first glance, he is a businessman.
But according to Jiao Da's introduction, the ancestors of Shopkeeper Zhao are not ordinary soldiers of Rongguo. Their identities are not even known to the only remaining generation of the Jia family and the literary generation of the Jia family. This ancestor of Shopkeeper Zhao
Both generations were detectives and scouts among the soldiers of Rongguo.
In name, he is a scout, but in fact he is a spy specializing in infiltration and spying.
As Jialan's property grew bigger and bigger, Jiao Da was not only surprised, but also extremely happy. He felt that the revival of Rongguo Mansion was in sight, so he actively contacted the old Rongguo people who had been scattered. After receiving the letter, shopkeeper Zhao's father immediately took his son from other places.
Come, after seeing the prosperity of Beizhuang, he simply stayed and recommended his son to Jia Lan.
Despite Lao Zhao's stature, he won't be soft at all in a real fight, which is enough to show you what a "flexible fat man" is.
Under his renovation, Zuiqiong Tower added many inconspicuous secret doors and passages, which can not only play a defensive role, but also be used for monitoring.
"Sir, it's like this..."
The shopkeeper told Jia Lan what Prince Zhongshun said last night when he arrived and entered the private room of Wu Nayan and others.
"Then the girls from the Yu family seem to be swaying the others to play tricks during the Young Master's meeting.
In addition, the loyal and obedient prince seems to admire Lin Hou..."
Knowing that Yu Yanhong wanted to trick him in the exam, Jia Lan was secretly angry. It's really only women and villains who are annoying, but I won you a match and kept talking about it.
Jia Lan snorted disdainfully. The imperial examinations of the Great Xia Dynasty had implemented a public disclosure system since the government examinations. All accusers of successful candidates must be retained for thirty years. In addition, the Gao Emperor began to crack down hard. In this case, fraud cannot be said.
Completely eliminated, but at least it has been reduced to a certain level.
If Yu Yanhong really wanted to correct herself, she would definitely not do it during the marking stage.
Because Emperor Chunzhi attached great importance to the imperial examination and would personally read the test papers for each examination. As Jie Yuan, Jia Lan would most likely fall into the eyes of the emperor. If Yu Yanhong dared to do the trick of exchanging test papers, it would really be a disaster for the Yu family.
Seeking death.
On the contrary, the attitude of the loyal and obedient prince is somewhat intriguing...
