For Jia Yu and Jia Zheng's trip to the academy, these two events caused quite a stir both in Jia's house and in the capital, but the parties did not react. Whether it is Jia Yu or Jia Zheng, they have lost weight in a month. However, compared to Jia Zheng, Jia Yu is tired, he is like a junior in the hotel serving tea and water to his boss and running errands every day, and there is nothing else to do. But Jia Zheng was really tired in his heart, and when he arrived at the academy, he realized how superficial what he had learned, and the praise of the people in the house before has now become a joke. At the same time, he is rigid, unsociable, and does not get along with the same year, and he is very tired every day, and he almost can't hold on.

And Jia Min is the most comfortable, she follows her mother every day instead of accompanying her grandmother, and sometimes she is taken to the study by Jia Daishan, who is cultivating at home, and teaches her to read and write in person. And Jia Daishan is very fond of him, and Jia Min also secretly gave his father the Guben Peiyuan Pill when he was with him, and hoped that he could live longer than in his previous life.

On this day, Jia Min came to Jia Daishan's study again, and when he walked in, he saw Jia Daishan with a sad face. And stepped forward and asked with concern: "Father, I don't know why you are so sad?"

Jia Daishan saw his beloved daughter coming, and put away what he was thinking, and said: "Min'er, it's okay to be a father, just thinking about things." ”

Jia Min saw that his father was perfunctory, and he didn't follow: "Father, don't coax Min'er, it's clear that something is going on just now, and Min'er can share his father's worries when he grows up." ”

Jia Daishan listened to his words, but smiled, and said: "Not to mention that you are a woman, what can you do as an eight-year-old child?"

After Jia Min heard this, he said unconvinced: "Gan Luo worships the prime minister at the age of twelve, Cai Wenji distinguishes string music at the age of six, and Sima Guang breaks the urn at the age of seven to save friends. Although Min'er is not as good as the ancients, she is not small, if her father has something to say, it is better to take care of his worries than his father to think hard. ”

After Jia Daishan listened to her words, he gently pinched her nose and quipped: "If you want to say that Min'er is much stronger than them for your father, if you can also be born in their time, how can they compare with my daughter?"

"Father, you're making fun of Min'er again. ”

"Okay, it's wrong for my father, I shouldn't say that about Min'er. Dai Jiashan saw his daughter's annoyed and shy look, and he also knew the truth of accepting it when he saw it, so he admitted his mistake. But she still didn't give up, so she remembered the problem when she entered the door, so she changed the topic and said: "Min'er, my second brother who is very worried about my father, yesterday your mother said that he worked too hard in the academy and wanted him to come home to study. And the dean of Hongru Academy also talked to Wei's father, saying that your second brother can only study by rote and does not know how to integrate it, and is not suitable for taking the imperial examination, let me think about other plans. ”

Jia Min didn't know how to comfort her father after hearing this, because she also knew that Jia Zheng would not have a good future in his career, otherwise he would not have sat in the position of a five-grade member wailang for decades in his previous life, and in the end, he was only named Xuezheng because of Yuan Chun's relationship, but he was fined so much money for improper employment.

Jia Min sighed slightly in his heart, seeing his father's frustrated expression, he couldn't bear it, so he said: "Father, if the second brother is really not suitable for the imperial examination, then let him do something else, didn't the eldest brother not participate in the imperial examination but still be an official?"

"What does Min'er think?" Jia Daizheng saw that she said seriously, and couldn't help blurting out asking, just after finishing speaking, he thought that he was too confused, how could Min'er know what to do if he was still a child?

"Father, Min'er heard from others that many meritorious families donate officials to their children and grandchildren, so our family can also donate an official position to the second brother, so that the second brother can be an official even if he doesn't go to the imperial examination, and with the character of the second brother, father, you can get him to the Ministry of Rites as an errand boy, saying that the Ministry of Etiquette is to formulate laws and manage the arrangements for national sacrifices, and there are many rules and etiquette in it, and there is no need to be flexible, just act according to etiquette, which is the most suitable for the second brother. It's just that the second brother is only thirteen now, and his father first asked him to learn more relevant knowledge, and when the second brother was weak, his father could run it to the Ministry of Rites. ”

After listening to Jia Min's analysis, Jia Daishan had to admit that this was the best arrangement for Jia Zheng, but the original plan could not come true. Looking at the smart and filial daughter in front of him, touching her jade-like little face, he sighed again why he was not born as a man?

Jia Min didn't want his father to think too much, so he said, "Father, I heard that my mother will be a guest at the Beijing County Mansion in two days, can Min'er come along?" After speaking, he raised his head and looked at him, the longing in his eyes was so obvious.

Looking at her longing little face, Jia Daishan thought that her daughter was also eight years old, and at this time, she should go to various prefectures to walk around, firstly, to make some handkerchief friends, and secondly, to let the people in Beppu know about her and prepare for future marriage. Thinking of this, Jia Daishan was even more depressed, although Min'er was only eight years old, but they had been married from a family background since they were ten years old, they could book at the age of twelve or thirteen, and they could leave the cabinet after they were fifteen years old.

The more Jia Daishan thought about it, the more reluctant he became, and he had long wanted to beat up his future son-in-law to relieve his anger, but at this time, Lin Hai, who was taking classes in the study of Anning Hou Lin's family, had an itchy nose and sneezed, and a cold wind blew behind him made him shrink his head, and he felt strange in his heart, but he didn't think much about it and continued to follow Mr. in class.

Jia Min's going out as a guest was successful under Jia Daishan's intervention, and his wife didn't want to take her with him, but Jia Daishan gave a special explanation, so he had to take her out with him.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Jia Minchen got up before she arrived, and Mama Qian was curious when she saw it: "Girl, why did you get up so early today?"

"Today I want to go to the Beijing Mansion with my mother as a guest, of course I have to get up early.|Jia Min said excitedly, she hasn't been to Jiafu since she came back, and today is the first time to go out, I don't know if I can meet my mother-in-law." According to what she knows, the Lin family has a very good personal relationship with the Beijing Palace, and I don't know if anyone from the Lin family will be a guest this time.

Seeing Jia Min's happy appearance, Mama Qian lost her previous steadiness, and looked at the appearance of an eight-year-old girl at this time. My heart also rejoiced, and immediately told Cailan to freshen her, and went to the closet to find clothes for guests. After seeing her freshen up a little, he put on a rose red makeup satin woven colorful flower butterfly cardigan, and a plum blossom palace satin snow silk skirt. Later, she brought it to the dresser, and after a while, Cai Lan pulled her green silk into a silk bun and inserted a golden phoenix hairpin with a tired silk inlaid with gemstones, and the bun also stuck some beaded flowers. The rest of the hair was stranded with two strands of pearl string and hung down on the chest. Ben Cailan wanted to put pearls in her, but was stopped by Jia Min. After the makeup was done, I came to the mirror and looked at the people inside, the makeup was not magnificent, but it was also Yuxue cute.

But Mama Qian didn't feel like it after seeing it, and picked up the bracelet with gold and jade treasure and mutton fat jade to bring it to her to be satisfied.

But Jia Min was uncomfortable, she had never dressed up so formally, and she wanted to get rid of it, but it was impossible to look at Mama Qian's expression, and Jia Min came to the old lady's yard as soon as she got it done.

The old lady also just got up, looked at Jia Min's different makeup, and asked: "Min'er is dressed up so beautifully today, it's really rare, young girls should be like this, usually let you dress up more, but you don't want to, do you want to go out today?"

Jia Min lay in the old lady's arms and said: "Grandmother is really a bodhisattva, I can't hide anything from you, I want to go to the Beijing Mansion with my mother, today is the first birthday of the new princess marrying into the Beijing Palace, the palace held a banquet and invited guests, and also posted to my mother." ”

When the old lady heard this, Fang said: "Oh, it turned out to be his family, by the way, their kid was married to Layue last year, and he was married" She couldn't think of it for a while, so she turned her head to look at Mama Gu.

"The youngest daughter of the Hubu Shangshu Qi family, you were quite satisfied with her before, two years older than the uncle, and then the uncle went to the border and didn't mention it. For nearly a year, she had been accompanying the old lady to watch the girls of all ages, so she remembered it all, so she hurriedly said.

After Mama Gu mentioned it, the old lady remembered: "That's right, it's the Qi family, it's really old and I can't remember anything clearly." Alas, their family is modest and cautious, the tutor is also excellent, and the father and brother are also motivated people. ”

Jia Min listened to the old lady sighing, and deliberately said jealously: "Grandmother, is that princess better than Min'er, you haven't praised me like this." ”

The old lady listened to her sour tone and said with a smile: "How can there be a sour taste before you eat, Mo Chengmin'er has already drunk vinegar before she came." Looking at her again, she blushed and said: "In my grandmother's heart, no one can compare to my Min'er, so don't be jealous of your little sour bucket." ”

Jia Min twisted her body in her arms and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, you laugh at others, I don't follow it." ”

And the old lady was even more smiling when she saw her like this, and she enjoyed her coquettishness very much.

When I was young, a girl said that the meal was ready, so Jia Min helped the old lady to the outside room, and sat down at the round table to eat. The old lady in the middle kept picking up vegetables for Jia Min, and repeatedly told her to eat more and grow more meat, but now she is too thin. And Jia Min asked for advice on what to pay attention to when she was a guest while eating, and the old lady explained it to her one by one.

Suddenly, Jia Min remembered the third sister who was still at home, and she didn't know much about this sister Jia Min, in her previous life, under the intervention of her mother, she didn't have much contact with these sisters, but she only remembered that in the end, the third sister was hurriedly married to her father, and she died in only one year. Jia Min couldn't bear to fall into his previous life, so he said, "Grandmother, will the third sister go with me and my mother?"

The old lady didn't expect Jia Min to mention her granddaughter, because she only met during the New Year's holiday, she didn't remember her appearance clearly, she only remembered that she was a soft and weak girl who was very childish. Fang Dao: "Min'er wants to go with her sister? ”

The old lady was annoyed by Jia Min and had no choice, so she had to let someone inform her wife and let her go out today with the three girls. At that time, the wife in the main room was eating, and it was very strange to hear such an order, the old lady usually didn't care about the three girls, and what was going on today, I couldn't figure it out.

Mama Lai thought of something, so she said: "Madam, didn't you mention the marriage of the third girl to the old lady a few years ago, and this time I am afraid that my wife will also take it out for outsiders to know, so that it is good to say goodbye." ”

She also felt justified when she heard it, but Jia was very unwilling to bring that girl into the palace, but the old lady had already ordered it and had no choice, so she just asked people to inform her.
