On the last day of July, Rongguo Mansion ushered in the real eldest grandson. Zhang's pain for a day and a night, in the near fourth watch finally gave birth to a son, Jia Daishan happily hugged this eldest grandson, immediately named Jia Lian, and told Jia Yu that when the child was full moon, he would be raised by his side, and he would teach him personally. Zhang's was unwilling, but her nurse told her: The second young master is the eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion, and he will be the lord in the future, and the master must attach great importance to it and will raise it personally. Look at our uncle and second master, they are all better than women, and none of them are promising. The master regards our second young master as the hope of the Jia family! For the sake of the future of his second son, Zhang reluctantly agreed.

Jia's mother is now grounded in Rongxi Hall, although she doesn't like Jia Yu, but her grandson still really loves her. She asked the mandarin duck to open a small warehouse, selected some good things, and let people send them over. Seeing Jia Zhu, who she had been raising, she felt that she was still the closest person she had raised, and gave it to Jia Lian, and she couldn't treat Jia Zhu badly, so she chose some good things for Jia Zhu. In Jia's mother's eyes, there are only distant relatives, and there is no difference between relatives and concubines, so she doesn't think that Jia Lian should have more than Jia Zhu.

Jia Min listened to the mother-in-law sent by Rongguo Mansion to inform her and said: Jia Lian's washing of the third and full moon will be done in a big way, she knows that this is Jia Dai's good meaning, and she wants to publicize the identity of Jia Lian's eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion.

"You go back and tell your father, my uncle and I will go."

"Yes! The lord also told me to let my aunt and grandmother do what she can, and put your own body first. The mother-in-law said.

"I'm fine, the fetus is sitting steady!"

"My aunt and grandmother are in good health, and the old lady can rest assured."

Jia Min didn't like Jia Lian very much in his last life, Jia Lian didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, he was extravagant, he bullied his daughter as an orphan girl, and forcibly sold the family property left by her husband to her daughter, and she didn't leave her daughter a tael of silver. But if you think about it, Jia Lian is also a poor person. He lost his mother when he was three years old, and after his father married his stepfamily, he had a father no different from not having a father. Eight years old when he was naughty and mischievous, Jia Yu suddenly remembered that his eldest son had not yet gone to school, so he sent Jia Lian to the clan school. In ethnology, I followed a group of people from the side branches who didn't learn well, and learned some skills in cockfighting and lackeys, and messing with flowers and grass. I haven't read a serious book for a day, let alone a scientific entrance examination. Later, he was calculated by the Wang family and married the niece of the Wang family, Wang Xifeng, the famous shrew of the Wang family. Since then, he has been managing the affairs of Rongguo Mansion and has become the great steward of the Wang family.

In the last life, his father had no intention of raising Jia Lian by his side since he was a child, and only revealed that he wanted to give Jia Lian Zhao a good teacher, but when Jia Lian was about to be enlightened at the age of five, his father was killed by a cold. Jia Mu is eccentric again, and she hasn't changed. Jia Lian has become a child who has no one to teach.

In this life, under her reminder, my father realized the importance of the education of the younger generations of the family to the entire Rongguo Mansion, so he decided to raise his eldest grandson Jia Lian by his side since he was a child. In fact, Jia Lian is a very smart child, and with his father's teachings in this life, he should no longer be that annoying gentleman.

The eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion held three banquets, and all the people who came were from the Jia family and relatives. When it was time for the full moon banquet, Jia Daishan feasted in the Rongguo Mansion for three days, from the princes and nobles, to the old friends, almost all the nobles in the capital arrived, and the gifts sent were also varied and countless. Usually Jia Daishan is very popular with visiting friends, and everyone wants to miss such an opportunity to curry favor with Jia Daishan. The emperor also rewarded a lot of things on the day of the full moon, and those who came to congratulate him were even more attentive when they saw it.

Here, Rongguo Mansion is holding Jia Lian's full moon banquet, and the draft in the palace is also in progress.

This draft is the first general election to be held after the emperor abolished the rule of one election every three years, and it has been five years since the previous one. Originally, the emperor didn't want to hold a general election, because he found out that the horse market tax and silver intercepted by the prince went to the third prince. This incident gave the emperor a sense of crisis, and his almost exclusive favor for the concubine made them have thoughts that they shouldn't have. Then select some newcomers in the palace and let them share the favor of the concubine. Later, there was another incident of the canal bursting, and the emperor also warned himself in his heart: There can be no second Wang Guifei.

Xiang Xiaoqin is one of the girls who hope to be selected.

Xiang Xiaoqin's father, Xiang Zhongping, was a jinshi in Zhaoping for ten years. Xiang Zhongping was born in a poor family, and the three brothers in the family were the eldest, and the family only relied on these 20 acres of land to make Xiang Zhongping a showman. This Xiang Zhongping, dignified appearance, has learned well, and was inadvertently favored by Zhen Yingjia after being admitted to Xiucai, and let Zhen Yingjia's wife's niece marry him. Then, Zhen Yingjia supported Xiang Zhongping all the way, until Xiang Zhongping successfully became the prefect of Jinling Yingtianfu.

Xiang Xiaoqin is Xiang Zhongping's eldest daughter, fifteen years old this year, because she is the first child in the family, and she is very beautiful, she is also extremely favored in the Xiang family. Xiang Zhongping personally enlightened Xiang Xiaoqin, and sent her to study in the famous women's academy in the south of the Yangtze River-Huishan Academy. Xiang Xiaoqin also has the reputation of a talented woman in Jinling, but the reputation of this talented woman is a little false, and most of them are touted by others.

This time, Xiang Xiaoqin entered Beijing to run for election, and he came on behalf of his mission. Xiang Zhongping has Zhen Yingjia's help, and he has risen all the way, and he is the first to look forward to Zhen Yingjia. Zhen Yingjia was demoted, which was a big blow to the Zhen family, although it did not shake the foundation, but it also hurt the vitality. Zhen Yingjia understands that now he has no face in front of the emperor, and only the old lady in the Zhen family still has a little affection for the emperor. But Mrs. Zhen is old, and once she dies, then the Zhen family will be in danger!

Zhen Yingjia thought of a way to send someone to attack Bo Shengpet. His own daughter is definitely not good, the emperor will definitely not choose, then he can only choose from relatives, not too close to him, but also have a deep relationship with him. Choose and choose, only the eldest girl of the Xiang Zhongping family is the most suitable. Zhen Yingjia has a great favor to Xiang Zhongping, his niece is Xiang Zhongping's wife, and the most important thing is that Xiang Xiaoqin is smart and beautiful, and knowledgeable and courteous, she was really born to enter the palace to be a mother.

When he was worried about how to send people to the palace, the emperor suddenly ordered a draft. This is really what you want, Zhen Yingjia was overjoyed to do everything for Xiang Xiaoqin and sent Xiang Xiaoqin to the capital.

Xiang Xiaoqin's mother is related to the Xie family in Jinling, and it should be Xie's cousin, Xiang Xiaoqin is alone in the capital to be selected, Mrs. Xiang is not at ease, so she asks Xie here. Xie couldn't save face, so he won the consent of his mother-in-law and let Xiang Xiaoqin be elected in the Li family.

Among the show girls of this year, there is also a girl named Zhao Jingjing, who is the daughter of the general soldier of Northeast Yangcheng, who is also smart and beautiful, the difference is that she was born in the border place since she was a child, and she has a big personality, and she has a good kung fu body, and she is a little bold.

The Northeast is the territory of King Yan, and he is young and uninhibited, and the people below him have followed suit. This Zhao Jingjing is to take King Yan as an example, and she must have the bearing of King Yan everywhere.

Such two beauties, one south and one north, each with their own merits, each of them looks down on each other, and when they entered the palace for the first time, the two of them were on the bar.

"What are you, dare to say that mine is not? Looking for death, isn't it? Zhao Jingjing heard that Xiang Xiaoqin was telling other show girls that she was vulgar, and immediately became furious and wanted to take the whip from her waist, but when she stretched out her hand, she found that the whip had not been brought into the palace at all.

Xiang Xiaoqin looked like she was crying and weak, Zhao Jingjing looked straight and her teeth were sour, Xiang Xiaoqin's next words were even more angry, and she wanted to whip her to death.

"This girl is so unreasonable, let's talk here, how can you steal? Look at your honor, but there is still a trace of everyone's beautiful appearance? Let everyone judge and see if I am wrong? ”

"You, you...... You are still justified in saying bad things about people behind your back, right? If I don't clean you up today, won't people think I'm a bully! As she spoke, Zhao Jingjing was about to step forward and beat someone.

"Stop!"

Just when Zhao Jingjing was about to hit Xiang Xiaoqin's face, a majestic female voice stopped her movements.
