Chapter 22 Secretly Resolved, Reborn
Before the old doubts were solved, there were new changes.
It had just entered June, and Yi Jing heard that Mr. Wei Yuan had resigned and was going to Ninghai.
Another state of affairs that is completely different from the previous life!
Yi Jing clearly remembered that when he married into the palace of the king of Chu, Mr. Wei was still in the mansion, but the student was no longer the ladies, but became the third brother Su Xiong, until he died, Wei Yuan had no intention of resigning.
first came the appearance of An Jin, then Yu Feng's young fame, and Wei Yuan's resignation...... These events that deviate from the original are not changed by the rebirth of the beautiful scene, so why did they happen and what is the connection between them?
Although these changes have not caused any bad consequences at present, the factors that cannot be grasped still make Yijing feel a little apprehensive, in order not to deepen this emotion, so that he is at a loss for the future, Yijing summed up the things to be done in front of him, and decided to ignore these changes for now, and only continue to move forward according to his own plan.
The general direction is determined, but some detailed plans still need to be adjusted.
Because Mr. Wei has officially submitted his resignation, and Wei Guogong has not chosen a new Xixi seat for the time being, the little ladies have to enter the stage of suspending classes, considering that Yichen is fifteen, and the eldest princess will have to consider marriage as soon as her birthday passes, Huang simply proposed to let the eldest daughter follow her to take care of the family affairs and prepare for the future, the eldest princess naturally will not object, and the little ladies are not surprised, but let Yijing be inspired.
If she is no longer ignorant, her elders may not only see her as an innocent child, and some words and things may not be hidden, especially if you can make your grandmother change her opinion...... In the future, it will be much more convenient to act with fewer constraints.
Yi Jing trusts her instincts very much, her grandmother must know the strange things in the palace of the king of Chu, but she feels that she has something to hide when she is young, and she has no way to change her age, but as long as her temperament changes, she is steady and cautious, and she will definitely make her grandmother change.
When my grandmother was twelve years old, she was already in the field, and in her body, after all, she was no longer the soul of an ignorant girl.
With a new plan, Yijing immediately set about implementing it.
This early in the morning, because the little aunt was going out to be a guest, there was no time to spur Yijing to practice riding and archery, so Yijing decided to go to Yuanying Hall to say hello first.
In front of the Ming Hall, Linglong was wearing a very energetic red skirt, as if she was dyed brilliantly by the morning glow of the distant sky, standing under the corridor, watching a few mothers-in-law carry a purple glass carved flower and bird screen, constantly telling to be careful and carefully knock the words, seeing that the beautiful scenery was avoiding the side of the road, and hurriedly greeted her with a smile on her face: "Wu Niang is so early today?" Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Guo are talking inside. ”
"Why did you move this out early in the morning, and where are you going to move it?" Yijing affectionately held Linglong's hand and asked with a smile.
"It's Mrs. Lian who wants to go to Jia's Mansion to congratulate Mrs. Jia on her birthday, and Mrs. Tai ordered this screen to be added as a gift." While walking towards the next room with a beautiful view, Linglong replied respectfully.
Jia Fu? Isn't it my aunt's future husband's family? Counting the days, the little aunt's marriage is about to be decided, the memory of the Uncle Jia is also an interesting person, a few years ago the little aunt "chivalrous fame", for a while became the talk of Jinyang nobles and Lang Jun, although most people praise a heroine, worthy of being a tiger girl, but there are also those pretentious gentlemen who say that the little aunt is too wild, and in the future I am only afraid that it will be a Hedong lion, the Lang Jun of the Jia family also fought for the little aunt, and taught those who said sour words a hard lesson.
Grandmother admired Jia Lang's righteous words very much, and also moved the mind of marrying Jia Fu, and inquired carefully about the person of that Lang Jun, and later his grandfather died, and the matter was delayed.
In the past, Yijing happened to hear the maids and mothers-in-law discuss, saying that although this Jia Lang was seven years old and his aunt was seven years old, he was also a talent, because of those years of traveling around to study, the marriage was delayed, and later returned to Beijing, before he could discuss relatives, his grandfather and grandmother died one after another, and he kept filial piety for several years, only to reach the age of twenty-two; Three years ago, before the marriage with Jiafu was decided, my grandfather died, everyone thought that Jia Langjun had reached such an age, I was afraid that it would not be delayed, and I never thought that Jiafu had never discussed with others in the past three years, which shows that this Jia Lang really admired his little aunt.
In the last life, after the little aunt got married, she sang with Aunt Jia's uncle Qin Se, raised her eyebrows together, and lived a very happy life.
In this life, it should remain the same.
Thinking so, the corners of her lips pulled up a pleasant smile, and when she entered the room, she saw Liuniang sitting on the big kang near the window, holding a book in her hand and reading attentively, and the maid on the side stood silently aside.
Obviously, the Duchess and the eldest princess were talking in the room, and they didn't have time to see the little ladies at this time.
Yijing went to Liuniang's side to take a look, but saw that she was still reading "Mingshan Anthology", but it was copied by Liuniang herself, and this book was obviously no longer Yu Feng's handwriting.
The shadow was shining on the page, and Liu Niang found that there were more people in the room, lazily raised her eyes and glanced at the beautiful scene, and seemed to be extremely reluctant to go down to the ground to see the salute, and said with a pity: "Fifth sister is early." ”
"The sixth sister is early, why don't you see the eldest sister?" Yijing sat down next to Liuniang, so intimate but made Liuniang feel a little weird, a pair of clear eyes looked over, but subconsciously moved her body.
These days, Yijing intends to get close to Liuniang, but Liuniang always suspects that she is uneasy and kind, and she is a cold-faced person, so she stubbornly keeps a distance from Yijing.
Seeing that Liu Niang had no intention of answering, Xiao Zhan hurriedly accompanied her and smiled: "The eldest lady will go to Jiafu with her wife for a while, and she is busy changing clothes and dressing, so she went back to Zhilanxuan first." ”
Liu Niang soon entered the book again, showing that she didn't care about the beautiful scenery, Xiao Zhen and Qiu Yue both felt that the atmosphere in the room was solid, and they looked at each other, and they both shook their heads helplessly. Yijing didn't bother Liuniang anymore, but went to sit on the couch outside the partition door, and happened to hear the conversation between her grandmother and her mother.
"Mrs. Jia personally came to send the post, I listened to what she said, the meaning is obvious, if my mother also agrees, I will give her a letter today, so that I can teach the Jia family to hire a matchmaker to formally propose marriage." In the inner bedroom, Huang sat at the head of the eldest princess, humbly and gently.
Su Lian is the only daughter of the eldest princess, if she is in charge, this marriage matter can naturally only be decided by the eldest princess, if it weren't for the Huang family's mother-in-law who also belonged to the Jia family, she would never dare to suggest rashly.
It's just that I thought that the eldest princess would immediately agree, but she didn't receive a response for a long time, so the Huang family was a little uneasy, and couldn't help but glance at Mama Song standing next to her.
Mama Song was so keen, she immediately smiled and relieved the siege: "Lianniang is the heart of the princess, and the princess is reluctant for a while, but ah, seeing that Lianniang is eighteen, even if the princess is reluctant, she has to think about it." ”
This sentence can be regarded as saying that the eldest princess is in her heart, she is reluctant, but the woman is not staying, and no matter how distressed her daughter is, she can't be detained by her side for a lifetime.
"In your opinion, what is the Jia family?" This is the Huang family who asked.
"The Jia family is a prestigious family, and the ancestors have also produced several prime ministers, although they are all things of the previous dynasty, the foundation is always stable, Lord Jia is now Taichang Siqing, it is a key position, and he is not in the center of power, he is a man and a safe person, and the grandfather of the country often mentions it, and it is also very commendable." Huang observed the expression of the eldest princess, and carefully considered her words: "Mrs. Jia has a modest temperament, and she has a good reputation in the aristocratic circle, and her daughters have also learned about the etiquette of reading and etiquette, and the daughter-in-law has inquired about it, and the eldest man of the Jia family has only had one room for so many years, and he is the maid next to him, and he is also an honest person......
For decades, there has never been any intercourse around his father-in-law, and the Huang family is only worried that the eldest princess will be dissatisfied with this, but after all, the eldest man of the Jia family is twenty-five, and if there is not even a intercourse around him, it is really unreasonable.
After a little hesitation, the Huang family couldn't see the eldest princess's joy and anger, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Although the Jia family is only the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Rites and Seals Bureau at the moment, and has not yet entered the stream, but in the end, he has entered the sixth department, and he is a protégé of Songtao Academy, and he is supported by his family background, so he doesn't have to worry about the future future, even if he is worthy of our family, he is still a high climber." ”
The eldest princess's only daughter, if you want to say that she is not high, there are only the children of the royal family, but the princes are already married, and the princes are a generation shorter than Su Lian, so she can only marry low.
Since the removal of the service in March, many noble ladies and relatives have asked the Huang family to mention Lianniang in a roundabout way, and they are all looking forward to marrying with the Weiguo Mansion, even the lady of the Jinxiang Mansion has praised her son with ulterior motives several times, but the Huang family mentioned it in front of the eldest princess, and there was no follow-up.
Huang guessed that the mother-in-law should not want the sister-in-law to marry into the mansion of the important ministers, it is no wonder that now the golden phase and the Qin phase are in flames, the competition for the court is fierce, and the Weiguo Mansion has become the object of courtship between the two parties, who makes the mother-in-law the aunt of the saint, and the grandfather of the country is respected by the saint? At this time, if you marry Jin Xiang or Xungui, it is to make your attitude clear, and you will be against Qin Xiang and the family of heroes of the previous dynasty.
Although the Jia family is a family, it is not in the center of power, even if Lianniang marries, the position of the Weiguo Mansion is still neutral.
According to Huang, this family is the most suitable.
Yi Jing was "eavesdropping" outside the door at this time, and also tried to figure out the powerful relationship, but she recently read a few history books, and she also had a deeper understanding of the marriage, and understood that a family like her own, in addition to considering the character of the other party, should pay more attention to the political position of the in-laws, but after a long time, I didn't hear my grandmother's reply, and I couldn't help but feel worried about the future "Uncle Jia".
Knowing what will happen to her, of course she hopes that the little aunt and the Jia family can conclude a good relationship and be happy with each other as they are destined.
"Mother...... Is there something wrong with the daughter-in-law? The eldest princess's silence finally made the Huang family unable to hold on, and asked anxiously.
"You think about it well, but Lianniang is a fiery character, I'm afraid that it doesn't fit the ......eyes of the family," the eldest princess finally spoke: "I'm still here this time, and I have her eldest brother to support me, and I'm not afraid that others will find fault with her, I'm afraid that there will be a ...... in the future" But after all, she still didn't say anything inauspicious: "Over the years, I have also seen the actions of the Jia family, which is indeed very good and responsible, but don't give the Jia family permission first." ”
What does that mean?
The Huang family and Mama Song in the house couldn't figure out the eldest princess's intentions for a while, and they couldn't hear the beautiful scenery outside that the grandmother was for or against.
"Although it is the life of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, but the future days will depend on Lianniang herself, I want to ask her what she means first." The eldest princess didn't shy away from saying anything, glanced at the partition door, and there was a slight smile in her eyes: "Jing'er and Feng'er come in." ”
The beautiful scenery that was concentrating was startled, knowing that her grandmother was deaf and clear-sighted, and she knew that she was eavesdropping outside, so she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and take a deep breath before she went to pull Liuniang in.
Looking at Luo Han's grandmother sitting on the couch with a weak heart, seeing that her eyes were gentle and there was no sense of reproach, Yijing sighed, made a blessing with Liuniang, and sat obediently on the brocade pier on the side.
The eldest princess said: "I only remembered when I saw the two children, didn't it mean that Mr. Wei had already submitted his resignation, but he could choose a new Xixi?" ”
Huang hurriedly replied: "Grandpa Guo has been busy with official business recently, and he hasn't had the heart to take care of this matter for a while. ”
Seeing Mama Song standing aside, her mind flickered, and her inspiration flashed, so she answered: "Grandmother, doesn't my father have a staff member, but is a protégé of Songhe Academy, isn't it appropriate?" His eyes only looked at Mama Song, and seeing that she had no reaction, Yi Jing added: "I heard the eldest brother often mention that he is a talented person, as if he is called Li Jihe." ”
Mama Song still lowered her eyes and held her voice, not sensitive to this name.
Yijing couldn't help but be sure, at least at this time, Mama Song didn't know about Li Ji and this person, but it was clear that Li Ji and Mama Song had a grudge......
There must be entanglements between these two people, Mama Song doesn't know, but Li Jihe understands, does this mean that maybe the enemy with Mama Song is not Li Jihe himself?
If you want to say that the age difference between the two is enough to separate generations, could it be that Li Jihe's parents have old grudges with Mama Song?
If Li Jihe can really do this Xixi, he will have the opportunity to have further contact with him in the future, and maybe he will be able to find out.
The eldest princess shook her head: "He is a famous student, and he made a special trip to vote, thinking that he was counting on being a scholar, but he was afraid that he would be impatient to be the west seat of your little ladies." ”
Yi Jing was slightly disappointed, but after thinking about it, he still didn't give up fighting: "This gentleman is said to be a protégé taught by Ding Hongru himself, if he is determined to be a protégé, he can be directly recommended by Ding Hongru, why do you need to be such a tortuous member of his father's staff, grandmother might as well mention it to him first, if he is embarrassed, don't be reluctant." ”
Nanru Ding Changsu, at this time has passed the year of the war, eighty years old, although he is the president of Songhe Academy on the surface, in fact, he has long been no longer teaching in person, Li Jihe is only twenty-six years old, but he can be personally guided, in today's students, it can be regarded as a rare corner, it is indeed not difficult to want to be a leader, and there is no need to take such a bumpy road as a staff.
According to Yijing, this Li Ji and the thousands of miles to Kyoto to worship the Weiguo Mansion are very likely to be for Mama Song's sake, so any Xixi seat is naturally nothing to him, maybe, it is exactly what he wants.
The eldest princess naturally doesn't think about this, but she also thinks that Yijing is reasonable, secretly thinking about her granddaughter's young age, but she can think so deeply, which is really rare, and the eyes of Yijing are different from the past.
Huang Shi was puzzled: "If it's not for the sake of being a leader, why do you want to vote?" ”
"The temperament of the literati is not ordinary people, such as Mr. Wei, who is referring to our family's book collection......" Yi Jing smiled: "I want to come to this Mr. Li, and he is not like a worldly mortal, since Mr. Wei can be our Xixi, my grandmother asked him, it is not light." ”
The implication is that there are famous teachers in front of their little ladies, and they can be regarded as high-footed, Li Jihe's talent is not as good as Wei Yuan's, and the eldest princess has come forward, and it is not considered that the Weiguo Mansion is neglecting Songhe students.
The eldest princess pointed to the beautiful scenery and said with a smile: "You will put gold on your face, but I must mention it, so as not to delay your father's official business." ”
The eldest princess led her two granddaughters to the backyard, and while sitting in the shade of flowers and drinking tea, she asked Yijing: "I heard that you have recently been obsessed with historical books?" ”
"I went to Muhui Building to borrow a set of "The Biography of the Five Emperors of the Eastern Ming Dynasty" a few days ago, and after a closer look, I realized that these biographies and history books are not so dull, and they are more interesting than those travelogues." The beautiful scenery is like a little yellow warbler, not sitting well, lying on the lap of the eldest princess, the little face like a magnolia flower is slightly upturned, and a pair of eyes reflect the fading morning glow, bright as stars.
When the eldest princess heard this, she thought about what Yijing said today, and she seemed to have some insight, so she had the heart to test her: "Tell my grandmother, where have you seen, and what do you experience?" ”
Yi Jingcai got up from the lap of the eldest princess, sat down next to Liuniang, cleared her throat and said seriously: "I just finished reading the biography of Emperor Yuan of Dongming, if you want to talk about Emperor Yuan of Dongming, you should also be called the Ming Jun of the previous generation, although it was born recklessly, but it sprung up in troubled times, and finally unified the Central Plains, creating a prosperous era of three hundred years of Dongming, after the establishment of Dongming, he made great efforts, built canals, consolidated river embankments, and did a lot of good things for the benefit of the country and the people, but I don't know why I want to abolish the division of disciplines, but instead of the antique system, the implementation of the selection system of officials, such as recommendation and appointment, As a result, even if the students from the poor family were full of learning, it was difficult to get out, and Emperor Yuan's move really led to mixed reviews among historians. ”
Liu Niang didn't care at first, after listening to Yijing's words, she couldn't help but be interested, and even swept away the words of the past like gold: "The division of scholars prevailed in the Western Wei Dynasty and the former Ming Dynasty, but at the end of the former Ming Dynasty, due to serious fraud in the field, many students who were unable to bribe the examiner because of their poor families were full of experience, and they could only end up with the fate of Sun Shan, and the appointment and dismissal of officials were actually controlled by traitorous ministers, and they formed a party for personal gain, so that the former Ming people were not able to make a living, and riots broke out. The generals supported their own troops and appointed themselves princes, which caused chaos and divided the country into ten countries. I thought that Emperor Yuan of the Eastern Ming Dynasty was to lead the fall of the former Ming Dynasty as a lesson from the past, so he decided to reform the official selection system. ”
The eldest princess nodded frequently and said approvingly: "What Feng'er said is very true. ”
Yijing said with a smile: "The sixth sister is erudite, she has read more historical books than me, and she knows more things than me, which makes me ashamed to be an older sister." ”
If it was in the past, Yijing would not be convinced to let Liuniang steal the limelight, and she would definitely say sarcastic, this praise was spoken, the eldest princess didn't feel anything, but Liuniang was surprised, and her gaze at Yijing was finally different from usual, and she actually pursed her lips and smiled.
It's really not easy to get a smiling face from Sister Bo's sixth sister!
Yijing was overjoyed, and then said: "But the granddaughter still can't figure it out, in fact, the system of opening a branch and taking scholars is not bad, but it is the reason why the court traitors control it, and the granddaughter thinks that the public assessment held by the court is more fair than recommendation and recruitment." ”
The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, and her gaze at Yijing had a deeper meaning, but she asked Liuniang: "What does Feng'er think?" ”
Liuniang was thinking about the question raised by Yijing, and when she heard her grandmother ask, she was also stunned, and then shook her head halfway: "My granddaughter just knows a little bit about it, and she can't say it well." ”
Seeing the two granddaughters staring at her with good eyes, and the very similar clear pupils flashed with a thirst for knowledge, the eldest princess also thought about it and decided to break it down carefully: "In fact, no system is invulnerable, and it mainly depends on the person in charge of this system. ”
