Chapter 1670 Renzijuan thinks beautifully (3)

  Jia Baoyu happily accompanied Princess Yongning to pay a visit to King Lu.

When King Lu saw Jia Baoyu, he didn't care too much. During this period of time, there were many disciples of Lord Jingzhong who came to visit him, even young scholars and literati. Princess Shangyongning still has some face in front of her father, and he is unwilling to meet these people anymore.

This activity of interviewing seven or eight groups of people every day made Zhang Su exhausted. The same etiquette, the same expression, and the same words every day basically did not change much, and he was already bored. , but it’s not easy to refuse. A scholar who is really useful or famous should visit the other party by himself, not this kind of rushing to visit him.

When he saw Jia Baoyu and Niu's daughter and his wife, King Lu looked a little tired and felt a little bit struggling. After exchanging a few words, it was more about the conversation between Princess Yongning and Concubine Mei. Su always kept silent and smiling, resting his mind and accumulating energy.

   Faced with this cousin and her husband, King Lu was not very interested.

  This cousin's reputation is not very good. It's not that she doesn't obey women's morals, but that she has too much temper.

Although he behaved very gentle and virtuous in front of him, Zhang Su knew that the reason why this cousin delayed her marriage until eighteen was because of her arrogant and domineering temper, there was no one in Beijing who was willing to marry him. It means that the identity is suitable in all aspects, those small families who want to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, but the Niu family and aunt look down on them, so it has been delayed until now.

This cousin is actually not bad in terms of appearance, she is considered a beauty, but the hanging eyebrows and the slightly lowered corners of the eyes indicate that she is not easy to get along with, looking at the cousin who is walking by her side, Zhang Su can't help it Sad for him, I am afraid that the days to come will be difficult.

  After the chat between the concubine and the aunt came to an end, Zhang Su was not very interested. He only waited for a little while before preparing to serve tea to see off the guests.

  Princess Yongning obviously also noticed the slight impatience shown by Concubine Mei and King Lu towards her family, but she was not dissatisfied at all.

   Being able to squeeze out this time to meet his family, Yong Ning also knew that he had given himself enough face.

She has inquired that in the past few days, the guests that King Lu wants to see are basically full. It is related to the position of the future prince. To leave a good impression on the ministers and officials, so other affairs were put aside.

More people came to pay their respects to King Lu. In fact, the Iron Net Mountain Autumn Festival had become a grand event, and the gimmick of selecting the reserve and establishing the reserve caused a great commotion inside and outside the court. It is very respectful to the poetry society and the literary society, and it is very popular with literati, so some officials who are depressed, and some scholars who are not famous but have not become officials, can't help but want to come here to find Opportunity, even if you can get acquainted with the future prince, it is also a kind of success, and it may be a chance in the future.

  Because of this, Princess Yongning knew that King Lu was very busy, and when they came to the door, King Lu had just come back to meet a group of guests.

"Shou'er is only fourteen years old, so young and promising, and has a great reputation in Qingtan Academy. I think all the princes in the court know it well, and I can make a good impression in front of the emperor. I met the Ministry of Rites the day before yesterday. Shangshu Master Gu, Master Gu also talked about Su'er's performance, and he praised it very much,..."

It's not an exaggeration for Princess Yongning to yell "檕儿", but Concubine Mei is already a little impatient. Her son has been running back and forth all day, and today he sees visitors five or six times. An acquaintance like Yongning Concubine Mei can understand this kind of opportunism, but But a little contemptuous.

  However, Yongning still has some contacts. If he can talk to Gu Bingqian, Minister of Rites, it is worth meeting this time.

   "Oh? What did Lord Gu say?" Concubine Mei asked, which also aroused Zhang Su's attention.

Princess Yongning was a little embarrassed. She was just using this talk. The day before yesterday, she did meet Gu Bingqian and entered the palace to meet the emperor, but Lu Yu nodded and passed by. How could a scholar leader like Gu Bingqian stop and talk to the emperor? When she discussed the performance of Prince Lu, she never thought that Concubine Mei would be so caring.

"Master Gu also said that it is the best policy for Su'er to study in Qingtan Academy. Qingtan Academy is very accomplished in teaching current policy theory. There are many amazing articles in the examination papers, the emperor values ​​them very much, and it can be regarded as a kind of advance familiarity with the affairs of the court, such as Feng Keng, Lian Guoshi, Fan Jingwen, Xu Xie, Han Jing, etc. The academy, and its performance is good, so I can make good use of this resource in the academy, make friends with talents,..."

  Elder Princess Yongning is also quick-witted, and she looks decent when she said these words. At least Concubine Mei believed it, and she didn't hear anything wrong with it at all.

On the contrary, Zhang Su was a little puzzled. Gu Bingqian was the minister of the Ministry of Rites and a confidant of his father. How could he openly talk about himself with Princess Yongning? I am afraid that with Gu Bingqian's cautious temperament, he would not say a word, but the face He also half-believes his aunt's veracity, so he can only listen to it.

However, the words of the eldest princess Yongning brought back some memories of Zhang Su, and he suddenly asked as if he suddenly remembered something: "Second brother Jia, I heard that the Feng family compiled by your Jia family and Xiao Feng is not only a family friend, but also a family friend. in law?"

Jia Baoyu had almost been unable to get in the way before, not to mention him, even as the wife of Lu Wang's cousin, he couldn't get in the way on such occasions, so the eldest princess could only find something to talk about, and talk about the affairs of the court. Baoyu didn't get involved with these topics at all. At this time, Baoyu felt a little regretful. Maybe he had talked to Brother Feng earlier, and a chat might be useful in this situation.

   Unexpectedly, at this time, King Lu took the initiative to ask himself, and asked Brother Feng.

At this time, Jia Baoyu's heart was full of mixed feelings. Brother Feng went to sister Bao, sister Qin, and wanted to marry sister Lin, and even took his second sister as a concubine. This kind of contrast made it difficult for him to accept. If the first three That's all, why even the second sister is going to be a concubine for Brother Feng, and seeing the happy and sweet look of the second sister when she returns home, he is so happy that he can't accept it.

  He could bear all these, and when Mingyan told him that brother Feng and his sister-in-law were having an affair on the mountain in the northwest corner, he was even more struck by lightning.

The eldest sister-in-law has been a widow in the mansion for so many years, and she is well-known in the mansion. She is always upright and chaste. There are many messy things in the mansion that can't be touched by her no matter what, but when Mingyan told him that Brother Feng actually got along with her. The elder sister-in-law was having an affair on the mountain, and Mingyan was watching her, he felt that his mentality was about to collapse.

  Brother Feng is a womanizer, but Sister Bao, sister Lin, is blind and willing to marry him, so let alone, why even the sister-in-law is getting involved with Brother Feng regardless of her reputation, this is too unacceptable.

This is also the fact that Baoyu has been unwilling to face for so long. He really doesn't want to face Brother Feng. Thinking of Brother Feng crawling on his sister-in-law, his heart feels like a knife is being cut. That is his own sister-in-law, Brother Feng How dare? !

The reason why I am even willing to be wronged and begged for everything to marry the daughter of the Niu family, and then I want to take advantage of the relationship of the eldest princess of Yongning to establish a relationship with the royal family, is to prove one point, not relying on your Feng family, Feng Ziying, our Jia family has a way to succeed, I, Jia Baoyu, can also stand out.

In particular, the merits of Conglong mentioned by the eldest princess of Yongning made Baoyu envious. There was no need to study the scriptures hard, and there was no need for the Great Competition of Qiu Wei and Chun Wei. male? So now I might be able to replicate such a fortune?

   Formally with this kind of fiery heart in mind, Jia Baoyu came to Iron Net Mountain with great interest, hoping to win a good opportunity in this palace hunting garden, and even become a minister by the future prince's side.

  But today's events made him realize that the dream of this minister seems a little far away.

"Ah?" Jia Baoyu's face changed slightly, until he was agitated by the stern eyes of the eldest princess and his wife beside him, and then he reacted, took a breath and replied: "Your Highness's words are true. The family is indeed a family friend, but the Jia family has always been in Beijing, while the previous generation of the Feng family spent most of their time in the border areas, mainly in Datong, and spent very little time in Beijing until Brother Feng's father was General Shenwu. He only returned to Beijing after resigning as the General Soldier of Datong, and then General Shenwu went to the Northwest and Liaodong, but Brother Feng stayed to study with the Qingtan Academy where His Highness is now, Yonglong passed the Jinshi examination in five years and became an official,..."

   "Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan's second wife and brother Jia are cousins?" Zhang Su was more interested in this.

There are more middle school students going to Qingtan Academy. In the past two years, Feng Ziying came to the academy more, but now the number of times in the past year is very small. Before I called on him, his attitude was the same as those of the important ministers. He kept his distance and obviously refused to come. Among the princes, standing in line to express their attitude, this is what worries and upsets Zhang Su the most.

The other important ministers, Zhang Su, were powerless to change anything, and those people would ignore him, but someone like Feng Keng, who was not a few years older than himself and was born in a martial arts family, was not invulnerable. Isn't this guy in front of him a superior Is it a good medium?

  Jia Baoyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Sister Feng Xue is the daughter of Brother Yu's aunt, and the Xue family and the Jia family are also very close, and they should be in the same family."

   The second one is delivered, brothers, where is your monthly pass? Lao Rui is still working hard!
