Good wind helps me soar to the sky!
Sister Bao in the Dream of the Red Chamber has great ambitions.
After being unable to enter the palace, she would do anything to get close to Baoyu without any regard for the rules.
Knowing that Baoyu and Daiyu were in love, she finally became Baoyu's second wife with the help of her family and Mrs. Wang. Soon, because of Mrs. Wang, she seized the housekeeper power from her cousin Wang Xifeng.
If the Jia family had not been confiscated, she would have achieved the highest goal that the Xue family and she could have achieved, right?
But this is not the world of the Red Mansion.
She forced Xue Pan to study in the clan school. Although he might not be able to learn anything, at least he would not pronounce Tang Yin as Geng Huang.
Moreover, the clan school teaches the Dazhao Code and recites the Great Edict. After they have developed a reverent respect for life, they will most likely not go back to the old path of killing people in their previous lives.
Now that her brother is able to support the family business, what ambitions does Baochai have now? Shen Ning really wanted to see Baochai's choice.
Xue Pan wanted to find a young scholar for her, but how could a young man who had already become a scholar not have any pride at all? With such a bright future ahead of them, there are many families who are better off than the Xue family.
As for Qian Xiucai...
This 18-year-old scholar started going to school at the age of nine, copied books to earn money at the age of eleven, and occasionally supported the family. He was the husband chosen by Youshi for her younger sister, You Erjie.
She was optimistic about his future, and so was Shen Ning.
The original body's father was a similar person to Qian Xiucai.
Of course, the original body’s maternal family was similar to the Xue family, but it was far less wealthy than the Xue family.
How many people did the emperor take his anger out on because of the crown prince? Many people were killed and many were exiled, but Old Man Shen and his family escaped unscathed.
Although three generations are not allowed to enter officialdom, it does not mean that three generations are not allowed to study.
The Shen family always has the opportunity to make a comeback.
After sorting out the memories of her original body, Shen Ning felt that Father Shen was the real wise man with a strong inner core.
Unfortunately, You Erjie was first fascinated by Mr. Ma's higher fame than Mr. Qian's, and later she did not dare to have any ambition at all and agreed to the appointment of Zheng Xiaoqi as the official chosen by You Laonian.
She gave up the real gem.
now……
Shen Ning knew that Aunt Xue would definitely look down on Scholar Qian, but what about the extremely smart Miss Bao? In the Red Mansion, she wanted to enter the palace, but was not allowed to.
She could only set her sights on Baoyu, who repeatedly humiliated her.
Because this is the only best candidate who can help her cross the class barrier.
But things are different here.
Wang Ziteng has a very big heart.
He also has his own ambitions.
In the Dream of the Red Chamber, the emperor was afraid of him and was not satisfied even after killing him, so he also confiscated the Jia family, which had helped him and had long since fallen into decline.
Here, the Jia family and he had fallen out a long time ago, but he also relied on himself to return to a high position.
Can this high position alone curb his ambition? Human desires are endless.
Since he didn't dare to become a direct relative, then Xue Baochai, his niece, was the best choice for him to send into the palace.
He and Aunt Xue had a great plan, to use the Jia family to support the "future" imperial concubine.
They don’t care to what extent the Jia family will be implicated in the end.
Relying on the so-called kinship, Aunt Xue never thought that Wang Xifeng would drive them away.
But she didn’t think about it, and neither did the extremely smart Miss Bao?
Yuanchun came out of the palace.
How was her life in the palace? How could Baochai not want to know?
Recently, the palace bulletin has been reporting that female officials and palace maids have left the palace to take over the charity departments in various places.
Shen Ning didn't believe that she didn't see it.
In order to prevent those girls from being brought up with only knowledge of love and affection, the Dazhao Code and the Dagao were not only their subjects, but a copy of the court bulletin was also issued to them.
So after Baochai weighs the pros and cons, chooses to resist, and no longer enters the palace, what kind of life will she choose for herself? Is it possible for Xue Pan to show his choice of brother-in-law to Min Jianbai when he does that? Going to school together at Ningcuixuan, Min Mei must have a bad impression of Baochai.
But everyone probably overlooked Jia Wen.
She had a good relationship with Jia Lan, and she would never agree just because Aunt Xue was from the Wang family.
Chen Ning pushed Qian Xiucai forward, firstly because she didn't want to cause trouble, and secondly because she felt that Qian Xiucai, who was determined to make progress, could support and stay with Xue Baochai, just like their original parents, and walk a path to success that belonged to them.
Now it depends on whether she chooses or not.
If she didn't choose him, Shen Ning would find a way to let Youshi send Qian Xiucai to study at the Jia family school.
A good school also needs good students to succeed.
Mr. Qian is worthy of learning from by everyone in the Jia family.
If he could study without distraction and get a high scholarship, Shen Ning felt that he would be no worse than Liu Tang in three years.
But three years later, if the Xue family wants to choose someone again, it may not be possible.
It is true that high-ranking officials and nobles were asked to choose a son-in-law.
What's more, the emperor's brothers were deposed, his nephews were imprisoned, and the nieces who posed no threat to the imperial power, according to the empress, all wanted to be chosen good husbands for them during the imperial examinations.
In Liu Tang's class, two unmarried Jinshi were selected.
Although the princesses and county ladies of the past could only marry as daughters of royal family now, daughters of royal family had more freedom. They also had 3,000 taels of dowry allocated by the royal family and could follow their husbands out of the capital to become their official wives.
If Baochai doesn't choose now, she will have no chance in three years.
A few days later, Xue Baochai indeed saw the information about Qian Ruchuan that Xue Pan had found for her.
In addition to Qian Ruchuan, Liu Xiangmo from the second branch of the Duke of Liguo's Mansion was also among them.
Xue Pan also found a 24-year-old named Wu, whose wife died in childbirth and had a daughter.
Of course, there are also several low-ranking military officers like Officer Zheng Xiaoqi.
The Jia family has a lot of manpower in this area.
“No!”
Aunt Xue watched it with her daughter. It would have been better if she hadn’t watched it. After watching it, she became even angrier.
Is there anyone here who is worthy of her daughter? The Duke Liguo's Mansion was extremely poor, and many of their things were in the pawnshop of the Xue family.
It's obvious what he wants to do by targeting her daughter.
Besides, Liu Xiangmo is not the eldest son of the second wife. He is neither good at literature nor martial arts. He is not even as good as Wu Juren.
But is Mr. Wu a good person?
A widower.
He is unlucky in marriage.
When she looked at the others, she felt that her daughter was at a disadvantage.
"Pan'er, you are the elder brother, and you haven't even married yet. Instead of worrying about your sister, you should worry about yourself first."
My daughter is still young now, so she can wait for her brother to come back after he has made achievements in Japan.
At that time, I could think of a way. Even if I couldn't enter the palace, I could find a young general who had made great contributions to be my son-in-law.
This is one aspect, but the most important reason is that the family business cannot be separated from my daughter for the time being.
She had a falling out with Feng Yatou.
As for shops in Beijing, I have to ask my daughter to discuss with Feng Yatou, and often let Wang'er and others go there for a visit.
That girl is the mistress of Rongguo Mansion.
Aunt Xue sometimes felt sorry for Jia Zhu.
This kid was much better than Jia Lian back then.
As a result, Jia Lian is now an official, a very popular one, and the heir to the Rongguo Mansion.
Zhu'er...was delayed forever.
At this point, she especially understood her deceased sister.
If it were her, she would also have to compete with Jia She and his family.
It's a pity that Jia Rong from the East Palace was engaged a long time ago, and Madam Shen was willing to marry even a family like the Qin family. If they had come to Beijing earlier, their daughter's marriage would probably not have been so difficult.
"Precious girl, don't listen to your brother, that jerk."
Aunt Xue was afraid that her daughter would make the wrong choice for her life just to escape from her, "You are still young."
"Mom~"
Xue Pan was helpless, "Am I not studying now?"
"Your sister is studying too."
"Can we be the same?"
He was indeed old enough to get married, but his mother had never found one for him.
I only focus on my sister.
Xue Pan was sometimes speechless, "I am a man, I can get married whenever I want, but my sister is a girl, can it be delayed?"
If it is settled earlier, his mother and uncle will stop worrying about it.
“I’ve seen all these people.”
He said to Xue Baochai, who looked a little confused after reading the information, "Liu Xiangmo has no family background. Although the Duke of Liguo's Mansion is poor, our family is not short of money. Mr. Wu is too old, so I just stuffed him in casually. But Mr. Qian is very talented in studying. I specially asked Rong Ge'er and Min Jianbai to test him.
We created an encounter together. After Rong Ge'er and Min Jianbai talked to each other, they also discussed getting him into the Jia family's clan school.
They were counting on him to help the clan school earn the title of Jinshi in three years. ”
He is not afraid of being poor because his family has money.
"No, how can it be so easy to pass the exam to become an official?"
No matter how much Jia Rong and Min Jianbai were praised, they were not able to pass the exam to become officials.
"Back then, your second uncle was determined to support that man named Mei Zeyan. He was still a young scholar, but how many years did he take the exam to become a Jinshi? A full twelve years."
Aunt Xue asked, "Now that he has become a Hanlin, does he recognize your uncle?"
The second son originally wanted to use Mei Zeyan to support the second branch.
How much money did you spend on others? If they were eager to marry into the Xue family, and that family really wanted to acknowledge the Xue family as their relative, how come they haven't received any news since they came to Beijing?
"You ignorant evil creature, get away from me right away."
"Mom~"
"Stop arguing, let me think about it first."
Although Xue Baochai knew that her marriage would be difficult, she did not expect it to be so difficult.
She knew about her sister Baoqin's marriage.
She was actually a little envious.
At least her second uncle had made plans for her a long time ago.
But what about her?
"Mom, brother, I'm going back to my room first."
She felt uncomfortable, so she went back to her room and lay down.
But while she was lying down, the matter of Qian Ruchuan joining the Jia family school was put on the agenda.
Jia Rong had seen him from a distance with You Erjie before, but they had never spoken to him.
Now, because of Xue Pan, after meeting and talking with him by chance, I feel very sorry for his talent.
As the future patriarch of the Jia family, it is also one of his responsibilities to attract some good students to the clan school and motivate the clan members.
Besides, those who pass the imperial examinations from the Jia family and become officials in the future will always be grateful for the family tradition.
So, while Shen Ning was still waiting for the Xue family's choice, Rong Ge'er, after greeting the teachers in the school, tried his best to persuade Qian Ruchuan to join the Jia family school.
"...Grandma, tell me, why is he so stubborn?"
Rong Ge'er wanted to bring Qian Ruchuan to study in his family, but the family members, remembering the teacher's kindness, clearly stated that it was not possible at least this year.
"What can his teacher teach him? He is just a country scholar who has failed the imperial examinations many times."
Bang~ Shen Ning hit him on the spot.
"Who are you looking down on? Your grandfather also studied in the countryside when he was young, and his teacher was just a student."
Things like fame and fortune sometimes also depend on luck.
With luck, the questions you asked were exactly the ones you had predicted, and your writing style was similar to that of the examiner this time. Or, in other words, you didn't get a bad number during the exam, so you had a lot of ideas, and you were in good health, so you could stay in the number for a few days...
"They may not have studied as much as you, but most of them have solid knowledge. Qian Ruchuan is grateful, which shows that he is a good person and the teacher taught him well. What qualifications do you have to look down on him?"
This kid is drifting.
"Someone, send Brother Rong to the ancestral temple and let him reflect on his mistakes."
"My grandson is wrong."
But it's too late.
Rong Ge'er entered the ancestral hall obediently.
Upon hearing the news, Jia Zhen did not dare to come over to plead for mercy.
If a child is not taught, it is the father's fault.
If he is not careful, his mother will be very angry and will punish him by sending him to the ancestral hall.
He didn't even dare to hold his youngest son, and hurried to the study, pretending to be busy with official business.
However, Qin Keqing felt sorry for her future husband, so she brought a cloak and some snacks.
"What did you say to make your wife so angry?"
Bang~ Rong Geer also regretted it and slapped himself, "I was too arrogant."
Maybe things have been going too smoothly recently.
"Three people go together there must be my teacher!"
He lowered his head and said, "My grandmother should have spanked me a few times."
Qin Keqing: “…”
She took a cushion and knelt beside him. "It is a great virtue to know one's mistakes and correct them! Madam punishes you because she wants you to know your mistakes and correct them, but she doesn't necessarily want to beat you with a stick."
"Hmm~"
Rong Ge'er glanced at her and said, "It's cold at night, and you're weak. You don't need to accompany me. It's better to go back early."
"It's not cold yet."
Qin Keqing smiled at him, "Let me stay with you for a while! By the way, you haven't finished your homework for today, right? Do you want me to bring the book in for you?"
"Forget it, it's too much trouble. Now I only have the large characters to finish."
Speaking of this, Rong Ge sighed.
He had so many words to write, and it seemed like he would never finish copying the book he had promised his grandmother.
"Was grandma still angry when she returned?"
"Anyway, your face doesn't look good."
Qin Keqing said, "But you don't have to worry. I immediately brought my aunt over after receiving the message from Sister Qingzhu who asked the maid to pass it on. With my aunt around, she won't be angry for long."
My little aunt Jia Yue was at that age when she was very cute, and she spoke in a baby voice.
As soon as my grandmother saw her, her anger almost subsided.
"That's good."
Rong Ge'er was relieved.
Fortunately, he has a little aunt.
"Where's my dad? Does he know I was punished?"
Qin Keqing: “…”
What can she say?
It was said that when the father-in-law heard that he was punished, he was so scared that he almost ran away from home and ran to the palace to do night duty?
"Forget it. I know it even if you don't tell me."
Rong Ge'er guessed something from her silence, and for a moment he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. "If you see me drifting in the future, remind me earlier."
"What if I can't see it?"
She thinks her young husband is a good person.
"I'm not as knowledgeable as you."
Although she was also studying, they did not focus entirely on studying. "Otherwise, you can go to your uncle's place more often. I heard that Lord Lin will also go to Beijing. If you have time, you can go there more often with Uncle Lin."
My father-in-law is not good enough, but my uncle and Lord Lin are both reliable scholars. (End of this chapter)
