Chapter 256 Competition for the second scroll (seeking a monthly ticket for the fourth update!)

  Feng Ziying left and went to Jia Lian's side. The appointment was to meet and have a meal with Jia Lian's side, but this time he didn't call Baoyu, and Baoyu had to suffer a lot by himself.

   Only Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were left in the study.

   Amidst the sighs, Mrs. Wang also heaved a sigh of relief.

  In any case, now I have finally found a seemingly reliable path for Baoyu, so that Baoyu can learn to read without so much resistance.

   Baoyu does not object to such arty things as poetry, poetry and prose. Isn’t this the favorite activity of literati? Baoyu likes it very much. It would be even more wonderful if he could have a group of like-minded friends.

"My lord, this Feng family's boss is really good, but I'm afraid the matter of exploring the girl will not work, right?" Mrs. Wang, as the aunt, even if she doesn't want to see Aunt Zhao, she still has a good impression of Tanchun, so she still needs to care about her. one time.

Jia Zheng mentioned to her about marrying the Feng family, but now it seems that even his elder brother took the initiative to organize a celebration banquet for him, which shows that he values ​​this son. If Tanchun came out of his stomach, there is still a possibility, but it's a pity Cast the wrong tire.

   "Well, it's not easy to mention this matter." Jia Zheng also felt a little regretful.

   At first, I thought there was still hope, but looking at his power and influence after being elected, it was obvious that it would be very difficult for him to marry Tanchun. Even Jia Zheng himself thought it was impossible.

   "It would be great if Yuan Chun could come out of the palace." Mrs. Wang suddenly thought of something, "Although she is a few years older than the Feng family's eldest son, our elder girl is knowledgeable and sensible, combined with her appearance and temperament, it is really suitable."

  Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, "I'm afraid it's not right? Although there are rules for leaving the palace after entering the palace, it seems..."

Mrs. Wang also sighed, "Well, this concubine also knows that this is not going to happen, so I'm just talking, but I saw that when Jin Chuan'er came in to pour tea just now, Mr. Feng looked at this girl a few more times, It seems that he has a little interest in Jin Chuan'er, maybe..."

Jia Zheng couldn't help but laugh, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, I'm afraid it's impossible? The Feng family is a noble family after all. Could it be that there is one or two girls missing? The Feng family's masters are all good people, and they can still look up to one." girl?"

"No, I'm afraid the master didn't understand the meaning of the concubine. After the master said about the three girls last time, the concubine still found some ways to understand the situation of the Feng family. The Duan sisters of the Feng family still care about the Feng family. It's very strict, um, even harsh, up to now there is only one personal servant girl and two boys in Feng's house, look at our Baoyu,..."

Mrs. Wang shook her head, this is really incomparable, Baoyu only has four or five personal maids, not counting the little maids inside and outside the house, as for the servants around her, there are five or six. Not to mention two years old, and now it's all Juren, it's still like this, no wonder they can pass the Juren examination.

   "What does the lady mean...?" Jia Zheng was a little puzzled before he understood what Mrs. Wang meant.

   "Master, the concubine looks at the master, and my elder brother all think highly of this Feng family man. My elder brother will say that once this son is admitted to Jinshi, he will have a good fortune in the future..."

Jia Zheng took a deep breath and nodded, "This Feng family man is highly valued by Mr. Qi, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Mr. Qiao, the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It is said that both of them regard them as disciples who entered the house. If Feng Jia Dalang can pass the Jinshi examination, he must follow the path of Shujishi. Even if he can't enter the Imperial Academy in the future, it will be easy to find an official of science and education. If he enters the sixth department, it will be the worst result. ,..."

As soon as this was mentioned, Jia Zheng was familiar with it. Although he was a dawdler in the Ministry of Industry, as the most important group in every department of Chunwei—the whereabouts of the Shujishi, he was of course very concerned about it. learn.

According to the regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is needless to say that first-class students enter the Imperial Academy, but most of the concubines selected from the second- and third-class middle schools will enter the Imperial Academy as long as they successfully leave the hall. If you are at the worst, you can go to the sixth department to be the head of the department. Even those who fail to pass the exam can go to some good places to serve as magistrates, county magistrates, or government officials.

   It is not easy for an ordinary Jinshi to find a six-part master, but for a concubine, the six-part master is basically a relatively bad result.

   Non-Jinshi do not enter the Imperial Academy, non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet, this has become the iron law of the political circle of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which can be seen from this.

"Since this is the case, this Feng family man is not related to our Jia family by marriage, so he should make good friends deliberately. If this Feng family man really takes a fancy to that Jin Chuan'er, he will marry him as a concubine." Sending the two sisters, Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er, to be servant girls of the Feng family's eldest son, can form a sweet love, and can also help Baoyu talk to Feng's family in the future. In addition, if Lan Ge'er can study in the future , then you can ask the Feng family to help take care of it..."

  Mrs. Wang's words surprised Jia Zheng greatly.

He didn't expect his wife to be so considerate, and he had to admit that his wife's hand is quite beautiful. If the Feng family really fell in love with Jin Chuan'er, it would be a beauty if he liked it. It's a matter, in the future Baoyu and Lan Ge'er will have this sweet love, and when something happens, the Feng family will be more dedicated.

  He naturally didn't know that Wang Ziteng had mentioned the future potential of the Feng family Dalang many times in front of his sister, and Mrs. Wang firmly remembered this in her heart.

After thinking for a while, Jia Zheng nodded slowly, but shook his head again: "Madam, it's better to be safe in this matter, first find an opportunity to find out what Feng Jiadalang thinks, if you have this intention, of course you are happy to be an adult, I didn't intend to be too abrupt, but it was embarrassing."

  After thinking about it, Mrs. Wang felt that what her husband said was very true. This is nothing new. It is not new for a rich family to give a maid as a gift, but it is better to understand the other party's mind first.

   "Well, then I will leave this matter to Feng'er to inquire about it." Mrs. Wang nodded.

  Jia Zheng took a deep breath, his face full of envy, "This Feng family's grand master is so powerful, if he really wins Jinshi and walks the path of Shujishi, wouldn't it be good fortune to enter the cabinet to worship in the future?"

  ******

   "How dare this Feng family man say that?" Aunt Xue couldn't believe it, "You said your aunt and uncle are listening outside?"

"Well, not only uncle and aunt, but also Yuanyang and Lian's second sister-in-law, I guess Yuanyang will also bring these words to the old lady." Baochai's cheeks became a little more worried, "Baoyu seems to be the same It's a bit confusing, but my daughter feels that even if Baoyu understands this truth, it is still difficult to do what Brother Feng said."

   "You call that Brother Feng, the eldest son of the Feng family?" Aunt Xue was also a little surprised, "Is this the second time you and him have met?"

   "The other sisters shouted like that..." Baochai blushed slightly, and she took her mother's hand and shook it coquettishly.

"Well, it seems that this young man of the Feng family is able to pass the exam, and he is extraordinary. If you say this reasoning, if you change someone, maybe you can really touch it, but what did you say, Baochai? Yes, Baoyu's temperament can't be maintained, so even if he intends to correct it, it will be difficult to achieve it."

"But my daughter feels that Brother Feng's tone is very firm, and he seems to have a plan in mind. He said that no matter whether Baoyu thinks about it or not, he has to tell him a result. My daughter feels that he seems to have expected that Baoyu would not be able to do it, but he has already had it. After finding a countermeasure, my daughter guesses that my uncle and aunt are talking to Brother Feng."

   I have to say that Xue Baochai has a very keen intuition and can detect some clues from Feng Ziying's attitude, but Xue Baochai can't guess what Feng Ziying has in mind.

  "My elder sister is now grasping even a straw, as long as she can help her untie Baoyu, the biggest knot in her heart, she is willing to agree to any conditions."

Aunt Xue couldn't help sighing, every family has hard-to-recite scriptures, and her son is not up to par, but her sister, Baoyu, is not much better. embarrassing situation for people.

My daughter is smart and generous, but it's a pity that she is a girl who always wants to marry. Thinking of getting married, Aunt Xue's heart was moved, she looked up and down her daughter, and Xue Baochai panicked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ?”

   "Baochai, do you think your aunt has considered asking Tan Yatou to marry this Feng family man?"

   Baochai was taken aback for a moment, and after hesitating for a while, said: "I don't know, but..."

   "You want to say that the Feng family will definitely mind that the girl is a concubine?" Aunt Xue clarified the words for her daughter.

   Baochai nodded slightly. This is not a topic that cannot be discussed, but it cannot be discussed in front of the girl.

   "The Feng family will probably mind." Aunt Xue said very firmly: "It is indeed a pity to visit the girl, but Baochai, what do you think of this big man of the Feng family?"

   "Mother, how can a daughter evaluate this?" Baochai blushed, pretending to be calm and said: "It's just that everyone in this mansion is full of praise for Brother Feng, even the East Mansion."

"I'm just asking how you feel? I think it's pretty good. If it's not appropriate to visit girls, then the daughters of our Xue family are not bad either..." Aunt Xue saw that Baochai was too shy to look up, and said seriously: "If No, I will go to ask my brother,..."

Xue Baochai saw that her mother was very resolute, and knew that this was related to her future life. Although she didn't have much contact with Feng Jia Dalang, what she saw and heard was enough to show that the other party was excellent. For a girl who didn't have many opportunities to contact the outside world , this impression is already quite rare.

   Xue Baochai still didn't hold back: "Mother, my daughter heard that Brother Feng is unwilling to think about these things now, and said that he will wait until after Chunwei."

   "A fair lady, a gentleman is so good, I don't believe that the Feng family will not be tempted by my daughter's condition?" Aunt Xue is still full of confidence in her daughter.
