Chapter 256: Jia Huan's Chance
After Li Miao got this matter, he took care of Jia Yu again and again, and his situation was not as pessimistic as he imagined. As long as the emperor is not allowed to find a handle, with the current situation, it is no problem for Jia Yu to mix in peacefully for a few years. Don't die, some of them have to be cleaned up.
Jia Yu still believed in Li Miao's son-in-law's words. Li Miao has outstanding ability, and she has nothing to say about Jia Yu. In the past few years, Jia Yu has been given less silver. So, inform Li Miao about Ping'an Prefecture.
Jia Amnesty's dealings with foreign races through Ping'an Prefecture are not trivial. There is a suspicion of supporting the enemy. In the original world of Red Mansions, Jia Yu, as the main culprit, was dismissed from his post and sent to the platform to atone for his crimes on the charges of "traffic foreign officials, relying on the weak, betraying my grace, and having a bad ancestor".
Today's Great Zheng Dynasty has been invaded by foreign races, and trading salt and iron with the steppe Tatars is not just a "traffic foreign official". It is likely that he will be convicted of supporting the enemy. Fortunately, these were all years ago, and the steppe Tatars had not yet invaded the Great Zheng Dynasty.
Therefore, Li Miao arranged for Wang Ronggui to assist Jia Yu in handling the whole thing. Jia Yu was also relieved, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. My gratitude to Li Miao is also from the bottom of my heart. felt that the original arrangement of Jia Yingchun was really right.
Li Miao also had no choice. It is deeply implicated in the second mansion of Rongning, and the cause and effect are entangled. Helping Jia Yu is also helping himself. Jia Yu, as his father-in-law, it is impossible for Li Miao to die without help. However, afterwards, Li Miao also repeatedly warned Jia Yu.
"Not for example, just this once." Let Jia pardon do it. After all, Li Miao can't always wipe his ass for him. Jia Yu also repeatedly promised that he would never cause trouble for Li Miao in the future.
Jia Yu, as the inheritor of Rongguo Mansion, has a very aggrieved life. His own title is just because of the emperor's pranks. It's all because he befriended the former prince at the beginning. Jia Yu now has no other way but to eat and wait for death.
Jia Yu is actually also a little wealthy, and his grandmother's property was all left to her. His grandmother was the Duchess of the Kingdom during the prosperity of Rongguo Mansion, and this industry was as good as that of Shi Lao Taijun.
Jia Yu grew up beside his grandmother since he was a child, so he was not close to Mrs. Shi. The old lady prefers Jia Zheng, the second son who grew up beside her. Coupled with the emperor's attitude, it is doomed to Jia Yu's current embarrassing situation.
However, Jia Yu has been obsessed with antique calligraphy and painting over the years. A lot of money was spent on this. As for women, although Jia Yu is lustful, he can't spend a few silver. In fact, antique investment, Jia Yu has not lost money over the years.
It's just that Jia Yu is obsessed with antique calligraphy and painting. I only buy and don't sell, so I often have a shortage of cash. In other words, Jia Yu is actually very rich now. It's just that most of the assets have become antique calligraphy and paintings.
Over the years, Li Miao has been really good to Jia Yu, and she has been filial piety every year. And most of them are affordable silver tickets. Jia Yu is also sincerely grateful, especially this time, Li Miao helped him deal with the beginning and end of Ping'an Prefecture, and helped him get the fan that he couldn't put down.
Jia Yu also knew that Li Miao was lustful, so he proposed to give his concubine Qiu Tong as a gift. Of course, Li Miao refused. Remembering the original world of Red Mansions, Qiu Tong was given to Jia Lian by Jia Yu. also caused Second Sister You to fall out of favor. One of the main causes of the final tragedy.
Li Miao at the banquet had a strong interest in Jia Huan. So, Jia Huan was tested during the banquet.
Jia Huan is Jia Zheng's only concubine, and Jia Zheng's sister-in-law is only Jia Baoyu. As the concubine of Jia Zheng, the actual head of Rongguo Mansion. It stands to reason that Jia Huan's status in Rongguo Mansion should not be low. But this is not the case.
Jia Huan, as Jia Zheng's concubine, is also the most threatening person to Jia Baoyu. Although his biological mother, Aunt Zhao, was deeply favored by Jia Zheng. But it made Mrs. Wang's vigilance against Jia Huan even heavier.
As the head lady of Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang has been constantly belittled by this mother-in-law since she was a child. is bent on raising Jia Huan, this concubine who is a threat to Jia Baoyu.
Although her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, was favored by Jia Zheng, she didn't have a good way to treat Jia Huan. That is, to complain secretly. If you're really anxious, you'll be cursed. The masters and subordinates of Rongguo Mansion are also good at the top, and they will be very bad at the bottom.
Therefore, Jia Huan's situation in Rongguo Mansion is worrying. Sometimes it's not as good as a subordinate. As Jia Huan grew up, he gradually developed a forbearant personality. Everything is according to his mother, Mrs. Wang, and the trajectory is designed for him.
Jia Huan, who is not young, finally waited for the opportunity to change his fate. He has always envied Jia Lan for being able to learn literature and martial arts in the Li Mansion. Now Li Miao has come forward to test the results. It is undoubtedly Jia Huan's last chance.
Jia Huan knows Li Miao's weight in Rongguo Mansion now, with the help of this brother-in-law. Even Mrs. Shi will give enough face. Jia Huan knew his chance had come. If he can pass Li Miao's assessment, he can also stay in Li Mansion to study like Jia Lan.
So, Jia Huan stood up from the banquet and bowed deeply to Li Miao. Where is there still the previous obscene appearance. Li Miao was also stunned, although he had observed Jia Huan before, he just felt that Jia Huan might be clumsy. But seeing Jia Huan's reaction at this time, Li Miao understood.
Li Miao's concern about Jia Huan came from two reasons. On the one hand, because for the sake of Jia Tanchun's face, Jia Huan is Jia Tanchun's younger brother of the same father and mother after all, and he still has to help if he can help. In this way, at least there is an explanation for Jia Tanchun.
Another reason is because the current Rongning Erfu is prosperous and yang. Even if we get through the difficulties for the time being, we will end up with no successor. Even if Jia Lan can be on his own in the future. Don't you need someone to help you too?
The people in Ning Guofu are thin, and Jia Zhen and Jia Rong have already developed the habit of eating and waiting for death. Leave it at ease. There are a lot of people in Rongguo Mansion, and the serious masters are almost the same as Ning Guofu. If Jia Huan is a manufacturable material, Li Miao will definitely spare no effort to cultivate it well.
If Jia Huan had already been crooked, Li Miao would also treat him well. But there is no waste of energy, and some funding is still necessary. At least let him live a little more comfortably, not as aggrieved as he is now.
But now Li Miao has to look at Jia Huan with admiration. It's not that Jia Huan's talent is amazing. Jia Huan is destined to have little talent in such an environment. Studying in a private school in Jiafu all day long, how much literary talent can there be.
Li Miao took a fancy to Jia Huan's forbearance and clumsiness. This is not a quality that just anyone can have. It must be tempered over a long period of time. And many people in this environment will only become more decadent. Cases like Jia Huan should still be rare.
Li Miao is also a great joy and an unexpected joy. "Brother Huan, if you want to in the future, you can come to my study at any time to read." Li Miao didn't talk nonsense, and directly gave Jia Huan the highest treatment. Li Miao's study is an important place, and there are a few people who can enjoy this kind of treatment.
So far, Li Shi and Jia Lan have this kind of treatment. Can Jia Huan be so excited? It took a while to react, "Brother-in-law, thank you, brother-in-law." ”
Jia Huan knew that Li Miao had a special status in Rongguo Mansion, since Li Miao was at the banquet this time, he opened his mouth in front of everyone. Later, it became justified to go to the Li Mansion by himself. No one will stand in the way.
Li Miao was still too excited when she saw Jia Huan. Just got Li Miao's invitation, and it felt a bit like soaring. That's where it is! Now the collection of books in Li Miao's study, not to mention anything else. As far as the books of the imperial examination are concerned, there are few families that can be compared.
The efforts of several generations of those great families are not as large as the collection of books in his study. Not to mention that there are other miscellaneous books in the study. Books in this era are not open to others. Even the brother-in-law is the same.
"Brother Huan'er, it's not so easy to read through the books in my study. It is to be able to digest the imperial examination books without leaving the eight, and the fame of the Jinshi is not a problem. "Li Miao is waking up Jia Huan, the key depends on your efforts in the future.
Jia Huan still didn't understand what Li Miao meant. Originally, Jia Lan was his goal, and Jia Huan was satisfied if he was able to pass the exam. Now it seems that Xiucai is far from enough. At this time, Jia Huan was full of gratitude to Li Miao.
In the future, Jia Huan will go to Li Mansion to study, and he will no longer have to worry about this, taboo that. One mind works hard and strives to gain fame as soon as possible. Jia Huan bowed to the ground, full of sincerity. "Thank you, brother-in-law".
Li Miao looked at Jia Huan with a smile and accepted Jia Huan's full salute. The heart said, I am really your brother-in-law, even if I accept a gift from you, it is not too much. is to let Jia Tanchun of Da Grange know, I don't know how happy he will be.
When Jia Baoyu on the side saw it, he couldn't help but feel jealous. But then he was also relieved, that is, he was asked to go to Li Miao to study, and Jia Baoyu was not happy. Besides, it's not that I haven't been there, it's really boring and tight.
Jia Baoyu is still simple. I didn't think that Jia Huan would pose any threat to himself in the future. It should be said that Jia Baoyu is a kind-hearted person, but he was raised by Mrs. Shi.
At this point, everyone else at the table began to think thoughtfully. Even Jia Zhen, Jia Yu and others were a little sober. also knows that Jia Huan has won Li Miao's appreciation, and it will be different in the future. Seeing Jia Huan's previous obscene appearance again, I was also relieved.
In recent years, there has been a lack of talents in Rongning Erfu, and Jia Lan is a lone seedling. It's a slight improvement. If Jia Huan can also become a talent, it will be a good thing for Jia Fu.
Maybe Mrs. Wang, who was also worshipping the Buddha in the back hall, would not think so. However, since Li Miao has already come forward, even Mrs. Wang's current housekeeper is helpless.
