Chapter 161 Spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease
Most of the people who participated in the cultural party dispersed on excuses. When they came, they gave gifts, either directly gave silver, or inlaid gold and silver on pens, inks, paper, and inkstones. Everyone has different personalities and different ways of giving gifts. Bribery is also a science. Inlaying gold, silver and jewelry on cultural relics is an elegant mutual communication, disguised bribery.
Because of this, Dai Quan treated their departure with no slightest expression. He happily and proudly savored the poems, calligraphy and paintings that literati praised him. He wanted to ask the eunuchs to frame them, but then changed his mind: "These calligraphy and paintings have been sealed with private seals, which is my lifelong handle... Hehe, put them in the inner treasury and lock them. I will be unsuccessful in the future. Let's see who dares to impeach me?"
Jia Cong was secretly shocked: "This eunuch is not stupid. If he was divided into factions, would I be under the banner of the eunuch party in the future? For nothing to do. "
An eunuch at the gate hurried from the front yard and sent a message outside the flower hall: "Old ancestor, a servant from Shuntian Prefecture came to visit. The ancestor's nephew won the Yayuan test in the provincial examination, the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Dragon and Tiger List has been posted. Please go to the Luming Banquet and meet with the teacher."
"Okay, okay, Fengxiang is really successful..." Dai Quan frowned suddenly: "Ya Yuan? Who is Jie Yuan?"
"Report to my ancestor, Jie Yuan is the grandson of the Duke of Rong Kingdom, Jia Cong and Jia Zili."
"Oh..." Dai Quan Gong laughed strangely in a duck-like voice: "It's our guest, Zhili Provincial Examination. The top two were all included in Shuntian Mansion. Jia Cong and Fengxiang, you go."
Jia Cong bowed and said with a leave. Dai Fengxiang was calm and moderate in the hall, and said warmly: "Junior brother, go first, I'll change my clothes before I come."
In the same year, the young master couldn't help but congratulate Jia Cong. After leaving the mansion, he walked through Yanpaixi Street. Zhang Maocai laughed loudly: "Hahaha... I'm so laughing to death... I'm so laughing to death..."
Beat your chest and stamp your feet, and laughter surged into the sky.
After laughing, he was afraid of the secret stakes. When the Jinyiwei heard that Zhang Maocai was sneaky and held back, he could only go home and laugh.
"Brother Jia Shi, I have just gotten married for a few years, and my wife is already happy. She will definitely be a guest when she is here." Niu Jizong took a big step behind his hands.
"It must be that the Duke of Zhenguo is getting stronger and stronger. Your six families are much more stable than our Ningrong Mansions." Jia Cong sighed.
"Where are, where, aren't it all the same? Brother Shi, you become a great man, so we will receive a salary and wait for death. We will not delay your good times and beautiful scenery, so let's say goodbye."
Dai Quan's mansion, he lay elegantly on the bedside chair: "Ya Yuan is Ya Yuan, you will win the horizontally and vertically, three Yuan, four Yuan, five Yuan, six Yuan, the limelight is too big, it is easy to break even if it is hard, the wood is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and when walking in front of others, the public will discuss it. Look at which top scholar from ancient times to the present, which generals can become generals and ministers? A great achievement? If you keep it in the middle, you will have hope... The master is still very taboo to us eunuchs, and you will be able to compete. Just keep the second grade."
"It is not necessary to enter the cabinet to Hanlin. If it is not Hanlin, it is not allowed to enter the cabinet. I think the court will choose to continue to choose it. It is controlled by the six ministries and nine ministers? Otherwise, it is in the heart of the emperor. As long as you have the body of a Jinshi, the lord will say who will enter the cabinet. It is not easy for our family to have no children, but who else can be with your family and close friends? Maybe, there is no one who can end up with the elderly."
Dai Quan could not understand the ranking of the list in the hearts of scholars. Dai Fengxiang cared very much. Because Dai Quan took good care of his hometown, Su Ning, he was able to enter the Imperial College. His luck was not good before, and the county government failed for many years. This year, he was ready for war, and Dai Fengxiang was bound to win, but not everyone in the imperial examinations would be satisfied, so he became jealous of Jia Cong.
"Whatever uncle says, my nephew must be tragic. Don't refuse." Dai Fengxiang knelt down and expressed his opinion. He didn't hear him getting up. There was a small nail asking for a meeting outside the door. Dai Quan said, "Go, go," and got up to see someone.
...
Several wooden works demolished a wall west of the Heiyou Gate on Rongguofu East Road, which attracted many servants from the Western Palace to watch. Jia She was dissatisfied: "If you demolish the western wall and repair the western wall, the archway of the Juren is beautiful, but the two doors are asymmetrical, and the wall on the east looks awkward."
The leader of Shuntian Mansion smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. If the west wall is demolished, the east wall can be demolished in the future. On both sides of the gate, there is a Juren archway and a Jinshi archway. There is nothing more glorious than this."
The archway is not a city tower, a wooden building, and the craftsmen have successfully built it in one day. Neighbors and residents of Ningrong Street, who pass by, stop to watch from time to time, point and whisper, saying that Rongguo Mansion has developed again and a juren has emerged.
In Rongqing Hall of the West Mansion, all the sisters greeted each other, and the mother of Jia kept her meal, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan were not here to eat. At that time, the two sisters-in-law only asked to serve her, and they did not speak or speak. The maids served her meal, soup, bowls, tea, and regular. After eating, the atmosphere was lively. Sanchun sat together, and Jia Yingchun looked around her sisters: "I heard from Siqi that something came from outside, and someone came to discuss Brother Cong's marriage. Siqi's uncle was working outside."
Later, the Rose Dew incident in the Grand View Garden was an internal fight between the Siqi faction and Sister Liu. Siqi's uncle and aunt were all in the Western Mansion, and her grandmother was from Wang Shanbao's family, and her cousin Pan Youan was also in the Western Mansion. Siqi had a firm relationship with her cousin and had no regrets, but she was arrogant and domineering.
Jia Xichun said curiously: "Oh? Who is it?"
"It is said that he is a disciple of the second master, his surname is Fu." Jia Yingchun was always and anywhere with a weak tenderness, and never saw anger.
After hearing that he was his father's disciple, Jia Tanchun thought about it and said loudly: "I know who it is. The master's disciple is called Fu Shi. He entrusted the relationship between the master and donated a magistrate, a sixth-rank official... His girl, whose name is Fu Qiufang, has been rumored to be a rumor, and she is still in her twenties..."
"Oh, isn't this a yellow flower?" Jia Xichun teased and said, "Why don't you marry?"
Jia Tanchun sneered: "There is no high or low, but the small family is small, Fu Shi refused to agree, and the rich family is not favored by them! And Brother Cong is a illegitimate... With a future, they want to give in and make a fortune!"
Jia Yingchun frowned and said, "I don't know who my brother and sister will be in the future. I have a high vision for discussing the marriage, and I don't know what he thinks."
Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai heard the words of the three sisters. Jia Mu was half-squinted, and the mandarin ducks used the beauty to serve her. Daiyu kowtowed melon seeds without saying a word. Xue Baochai was just talking to Li Wan about the trivial matters of the housekeeper. Jia Baoyu heard it, curled his lips and pretended not to hear it.
When Xue Baochai returned to Hengwuyuan, she heard that Xiangling had already been sent out. Aunt Xue didn't know whether it was really sad or fake. She looked pitiful for Xiangling anyway. Hengwuyuan was decorated with elegant curtains and curtains, and the color of the curtains were pale and old. Xue Baochai was half coquettish and half persuading: "Mom, Xiangling is just a girl who has not opened her face. Let her go. My brother doesn't want to break the trust of others, otherwise it would be a joke for our family. If Mom wants a proper girl, pay some money and find someone to have a tooth."
"Baochai, I have Xier, Guier is enough. There are too many people, but Xiangling's character cannot pick one of ten girls." Aunt Xue hugged her daughter: "I heard that Cong'er was a juren, and someone hurriedly asked the official matchmaker to meet him?"
"Um."
"Baochai, you've passed the ban, too..."
"Mom..." Xue Baochai acted coquettishly and said shyly: "How can I ask me about this kind of thing? The orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker are all up to you."
"You are obedient and well-behaved. You can be both aware of the general and dignified. You can also make me happy. If you ask you to get married, your mother will not be able to bear it..."
...
The crackling sound of firecrackers exploded in front of the Juren's archway. Qingwen saw Mr. Cong coming back from the door to attend the Lu Ming Banquet, riding a tall horse, Sun Fu, Long Aotian and his honorable companionship.
Jia Cong was slightly drunk. Wherever he went today, allies cheered for him in the same year. Teachers and elders encouraged and taught him. A song of deer sounded like a deer in the backyard of Shuntian Prefecture's yamen. It was a joyful life, and the spring breeze was full of horse hooves.
