Chapter 258: Family Affairs

Jia Zheng has not been in vain in officialdom over the years, he has never seen a pig run, and he has never eaten pork? As soon as he heard Jia Ke's words, he knew what it meant, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that it was already so dangerous outside. It seems that when you meet his friends again, you must warn them. As for the rest, I can't control it.

When Jia Zheng heard what Jia Ke meant, he changed the topic and continued to ask: "With so many officials lacking this year, will the emperor open Enke?" Your brother Jia Zhu is still just a showman, if you don't work hard. I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the imperial examination in this life. ”

Jia Ke also scratched his head about this question, after all, he was not born in the imperial examination, and he really couldn't interject about these words, Jia Ke thought about it and said to Jia Zheng: "Father, the child has just taken up the military plane, and I haven't heard that the emperor is going to run Enke, but there is no Enke, and next year will also be the year of Dabi." At that time, as long as Brother Zhu participates, as long as he is not carried out halfway, I will ensure that he passes. ”

How do you know that as soon as Jia Ke finished saying this, Jia Zheng was furious, and pointed at Jia Ke loudly and scolded: "Bastard slave, you have only been an official for a few days, and you dare to bend the law for personal gain, if you dare to have the slightest inquiry, I will personally go to the Jinluan Palace to sue you." ”

Jia Ke saw that Jia Zheng was angry, and quickly got up and knelt in front of Jia Zheng to listen to his teachings. This is feudal etiquette, and no matter how big an official is, he can't bypass this hurdle.

Then Jia Zheng said a lot to Jia Ke about honesty and integrity, no favoritism, and Jia Ke could only kneel on the ground, making a look of listening to education, in fact, he was very disapproving, now the court is upright and prosperous, but because it is a prosperous age, the more this time, the more serious the fraud in the scientific field, so no year in the past few years has been clean in the imperial examination, if you really do it like Jia Zheng, I am afraid that Jia Zhu may not be able to take the imperial examination in his life.

Jia Zheng saw Jia Ke kneeling in front of him, listening to the teachings and seeming to be repentant, so he asked him to get up and sit down again, and then said to him earnestly: "Although you are now in a high position and power, and you can only do it with a hint about your brother's imperial examination, we must sit upright and sit upright, and we can't ruin our character because of the imperial examination." You can't be in the same league with those who don't pay attention. ”

Jia Ke had no choice but to nod and be taught on the side, Jia Zheng saw Jia Ke nodding constantly, his heart was very happy, thinking that the dignified military minister was trained by himself and did not dare to raise his head, so he didn't feel happy. No matter how powerful you are outside, no matter how big your official position is, when you go home and see me, you don't bow your head obediently, I teach you like this, and you also kneel on the ground and listen to my teaching.

Jia Zheng was happy here, but he didn't see Mrs. Wang's gloomy face beside her. Originally, Jia Ke just said that she wanted to ensure that Jia Zhu was successful, and her heart almost jumped out with joy, if Jia Ke could solve Jia Zhu's problem, it could be regarded as solving her heart disease. Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng's words seemed to pour cold water on her.

Mrs. Wang is really a little helpless about Jia Zheng's character, you say that he is honest and selfless, he often finds relationships for his relatives, and takes some ways, you say that he is an unruly person, at critical moments, he is a moral gentleman, and he trains people like an old master.

Jia Ke also saw Mrs. Wang's face, thinking that it was nothing to give her an empty favor, so she replied: "Father, I think Brother Zhu's health is really not good, if you have to take the road of the imperial examination, I am afraid that my body will be a little unbearable." If you really can't do it, you can spend a few taels of silver to donate an official to him, and this matter will not bend the law for personal gain. I'll say hello when the time comes, just give him a real job, no matter how bad it is, it's okay to go to other places to be a county magistrate. ”

Jia Zheng listened to Jia Ke's words this time and did not refute it, he knew Jia Zhu's body, and he was carried out several times when he entered the field. Jia Ke's method is also feasible, but it will be difficult to be promoted in the future. But it's also a big deal, and with his brother taking care of him in the court in the future, it's not a big problem.

At this time, Mrs. Wang, who was sitting next to her, also had bright eyes, she didn't expect that there was such a way out, there was a person in the family who was in the best position, and she didn't make good use of it, did she want to grab the limited number of official positions with those poor people? If Jia Zhu donates an official, it is a way to get the best of both worlds.

Jia Zheng felt that Jia Ke's words made some sense, so he turned around and asked Jia Zhu, who was standing aside, "Did you understand what your brother said?" What do you have to say? If you don't mean anything else, let your big brother find a future for you. Thinking that with him taking care of the court, your future will not be small. ”

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang thought about such a good thing, Jia Zhu would definitely agree. Who knows that Jia Zhu doesn't want to do what they think, he also has his own pride in his heart, he has been wasting time all these years, who didn't say that he was a prodigy back then, and said to Jia Ke that he would rely on his younger brother to live, but now it's the other way around. What will his pride never allow him to do?

So Jia Zhu took the initiative to kneel in front of Jia Zheng, and said in a somewhat choked tone: "I understand the kindness of my father and brother. But I also have my own thoughts, if I can't be an official in the imperial examination, I won't be an official until I die. ”

Jia Ke listened to his words from the sidelines, and was a little surprised by his ambition. He has lived for two lifetimes, and he has almost never seen a shortcut that he has to trek hard, but now he admires Jia Zhu. It seems that if Jia Zhu is still alive in the dream of the Red Mansion, Jiafu may not fall so quickly, and he will be able to continue Jiafu for a few more years with his ambition.

It's no wonder that before Jia Ke crossed over, the original body was crushed by Jia Zhu, and this ambition is rare in the rich family.

Jia Zheng heard Jia Zhu's words and felt a sense of pride in his heart, he just wanted to be a member of the imperial examination, but he was broken by a testament from his father, and he didn't resist because of the special situation at that time, but now he thinks about it, isn't there his own inertia? As a result, the son he gave birth to was promising, and his mind was so firm. So Jia Zheng applauded loudly, his face full of relief. personally stepped forward to help Jia Zhu, patted him on the shoulder and said to the people in the house: "This is my family's Qilin'er, and it will definitely have a great future in the future." ”

Jia Zhu heard Jia Zheng's praise, his face was flushed with excitement, for so many years, Jia Zheng rarely praised people, even Jia Ke just said a few words "He's not bad", I didn't expect to have such an evaluation of myself, so that I have to work hard, and I must pass the next subject.

Jia Ke watched the two of them from the side, not knowing what to say, and wondered if these two people were a little stupid to read.

Mrs. Wang had the same mind as Jia Ke at this time, and felt very helpless about the father and son being so pedantic.

After Jia Zheng comforted Jia Zhu, he couldn't help but tell him to go back to study quickly, and he must be in the next subject, Jia Zhu was also high-spirited at this time, like the three people in the house bowed each, and then went out.

Jia Zheng watched Jia Zhu go away, and the look of relief on his face did not stop. It took him a long time before he came to his senses, and asked Jia Ke again: "Your house has also been cleaned up, and the people have been filled, when are you going to move over?" ”

"It's all up to my father." Jia Ke didn't have any requirements in this matter, it didn't matter if it was faster or slower.

"In that case, I think it's just right to move over in three days, and the day I read the yellow calendar is a good day." Jia Zheng set a date for Jia Ke.

Jia Ke hurriedly agreed, and said to Jia Zheng: "Obey my father's orders, and I will move to the next mansion in three days." ”

"Although you have moved here, you have to come back often to see your aunt, she has been worried about you every day in the past few years." Jia Zheng instructed Jia Ke.

"Father, don't worry, I went to see the Wuyang Hou Mansion today, and our Rongguo Mansion has a moon gate to communicate, and when I come back to see my mother and aunt, I don't have to go through the gate, I came from the side. And it's very close to here, as long as you pass the old lady's yard, you will soon be here. Jia Ke was very satisfied with the moon gate opened on the wall, which made the two mansions connected.

After Jia Ke finished speaking, he thought about Jia Zhu's matter, and he still had to give Jia Zheng another reminder, "Father, I admired the ambition of the second brother just now, but after all, the manpower is sometimes exhausted, so let the second brother try a subject, if it still fails, you have to find a way for him to hurry up." I see that it is better to donate an official, otherwise when the second brother gets older and his health is worse, there will be no hope. ”

Mrs. Wang heard Jia Ke say that Jia Zhu's health would be worse, so she became unhappy. But because Jia Zheng was there, she had no choice but to say anything, just glared at Jia Ke fiercely.

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Jia Zheng also began to hesitate in his heart, if Jia Zhu wasted his time like this, I am afraid that it would really be like what Jia Ke said, and the last thing would not be successful.

Jia Zheng finally thought for a while and said, "Then let Zhu Ge'er try again, if it doesn't work." It's never too late to do what you say. ”

Jia Ke saw that Jia Zheng had made up his mind, so he didn't say it anymore, after all, if he continued to talk about it, Mrs. Wang next to him would be able to eat him.

After Jia Zheng finished talking about Jia Zhu, he then said: "The fifteenth day of next month is a good day, I discussed with your mother, and I will marry you on that day, and there are still some things in the middle, which were originally for you to do in person." But now you accompany the king every day, I'm afraid I can't get out, I, who is a father, will run away for you when I'm idle. Just marry me peacefully on that day. ”

Jia Ke knew that marriage was very cumbersome in ancient times. It is necessary to go through the six rites, Nacai, ask for names, Najib, Nazheng, please meet, and welcome.

After greeting the family, it is necessary to perform the "ceremony of becoming a wife" and "the ceremony of becoming a wife". The "ceremony of becoming a wife" is a wedding, forming a relationship between husband and wife; "The rite of becoming a woman" is the status of the daughter-in-law of the husband's family first, at this time. At this point, the "Six Rites" are completed and the marriage is established.

If Na Cai, Ask Name, Najib, Na Zheng, Ask for Period, etc., have Jia Zheng to do it for him, then he will be much easier, and if it is a father, it can also show respect for the woman, but this is generally to welcome women who are more noble than their own family.

For the adopted daughter of a petty official, this is already very over-spec. Not to mention that Jia Ke is now a very human minister, if there is nothing greasy in this, he will not believe it if he kills Jia Ke.
