Luoyang, the capital of the gods, in the Rongguo Mansion.

"Second Master Lian, the master asked you to go over!"

Jia Lian was joking with Ping'er, and couldn't help but wonder when he heard this, it was almost noon, what did he ask himself to do at this time.

Of course, even if he was dissatisfied in his heart, Jia Lian didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went to Rongxi Hall.

After entering Jia Zheng's study, after Jia Lian saluted, he asked, "Master, are you looking for me?" ”

"Sit down!"

I had to sit down, looking very deferential.

"Today I have learned that in September this year, the Dragon Praetorian Guard will release one hundred and thirty people, would you like to go to the military department for reference?"

The Dragon Guards want to release 130 people, which is equivalent to saying that they have to recruit so many people, which is an opportunity for the sons and daughters of the nobles who want to enter the ranks.

As I said before, the Dragon Guards are open to the children of the nobles, and as long as they pass the exam, they can be selected.

The remaining places were contested by the guards of the Beijing camp and the children of military attachés above the sixth rank of the capital division, and the competition was not usually large.

Jia Lian didn't think that the second uncle would let him do this, and he was a little panicked for a while.

He felt that his life was good now, so he was willing to go to the palace to stand on duty, and then run to the barracks.

Of course, it is also unclear whether he can pass the examination of the Ministry of War.

"Second uncle, do you mean to go to the Dragon Guard?" Jia Lian pretended to be stupid.

Jia Zheng said with an unhappy face: "Of course not, I am asking Ling to pass the examination and enter the ban!" ”

"This, my nephew is only afraid of ......"

"Afraid of what? What a courage your grandfather was back then, you have to learn from your grandfather, don't ......"

After all, he is his own eldest brother, and there are some things that Jia Zheng can't say.

"Understood?"

"Got it!" Jia Lian was reluctant.

"There are still two months to go, you have to practice well, and put down the trivial things at home in advance!" Jia Zheng taught a lesson with a straight face.

"Yes!"

"Go ahead!"

Walking out of the study with great melancholy, Jia Lian was about to go back to his residence and complain to his wife about Jia Zheng's unreasonable request, but he was stopped by the little girl.

"Second Master...... Sir, please come over! ”

What's going on today? Why are these two masters looking for themselves?

Compared with Jia Zheng, Jia Lian was naturally more afraid of Jia Yu, so he couldn't help but feel worried.

Soon, Jia Lian came to Jia Yuwai's study, and saw a group of warblers and swallows, sitting under the porch chatting with melon seeds.

Among them, there were several beauties, which were very much in line with Jia Lian's heart, so he couldn't help but look at them twice.

"I've seen the second master of Lian......"

Jia Lian smiled in return, and then went straight into the instrument door, and then entered Jia Yu's outer study.

"Father's ......"

Jia Yu was facing Jia Lian with his back to him, holding the porcelain in his hand and looking at it carefully, looking casual.

"Why did your second uncle call you over?"

Obviously, Jia Yu knew what happened in Rongxi Hall, otherwise he would not have called Jia Lian over.

The second uncle said...... Let your son choose the Dragon Guard! ”

Putting down the plaything in his hand, Jia Yu turned around, sat on the chair next to him, looked at his son, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Son...... I don't know! ”

Of course, Jia Lian wanted to be at ease, but he couldn't figure out Jia Yu's thoughts, so he simply said vaguely.

"With you like this, can you still be selected as the Dragon Guard?" Jia Yu was full of disdain.

Although he was hollowed out by the wine, Jia Yu was really qualified to say this, just because he was also selected as the Dragon Guard, and he was only released at the level of a thousand households.

He had a good future, according to the normal speed of promotion, not to mention being the governor of the five prefectures or the governor of the same city, he Jia Yu is at least a governor, and he can be a chief military officer when he goes to Beijing.

However, everything was due to the hesitation ten years ago, which caused the Jia family to offend the emperor, so their status plummeted.

"The child also feels that if he goes, he is afraid that he will not be able to choose!"

Jia Yu said with a cold face: "It's good if you know, do whatever you need to do next, don't listen to your second uncle's blind toss!" ”

Don't listen to the second uncle? Now he is the second uncle's housekeeper and doesn't listen to his ...... Aren't I just like you?

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't speak, Jia Yu immediately scolded angrily: "Are you deaf? ”

"My son knows!" Jia Lian was extremely helpless, how could he dare to disagree with his father.

"Get out!"

didn't dare to argue, Jia Lian left in a hurry, feeling extremely depressed.

When he returned to his residence, Wang Xifeng had already eaten lunch and was gathering a group of maids and wives to tell the matter.

Seeing Jia Lian's unhappy face and plunged into the inner room, Wang Xifeng knew that something was happening.

So she instructed Ping'er to set the meal, and at the same time finished talking about things as soon as possible, and then went inside.

But seeing that Jia Lian was drinking, Wang Xifeng asked, "I said...... The master called you over, what is the matter? ”

"Could it be that it's still for Jinling?"

"The master wants me to go to the Kaolong Guard!"

"That's not bad, the young masters of the other princes' mansions, that one didn't have a serious errand!" Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

Jia Lian said helplessly: "Alas...... Over the years, I have practiced archery and horse riding, but I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the test! ”

Wang Xifeng disagreed: "It's nothing if you can't pass the exam, and there is no shortage of officials in our house......"

"The second uncle asked me to practice martial arts more, and just now my father called me over and told me not to practice martial arts...... That's the trouble! Jia Lian drank another glass of wine.

"This ......"

Although Wang Xifeng is smart, it is difficult to solve this kind of thing, and he doesn't know what to say for a while.

"It seems that those things back then still made my father afraid, so he only lived with one mind!"

Although Jia Lian is a little stubborn, he is also a person who understands, and he can roughly guess the intentions of the two elders.

"And what are you going to do?" Wang Xifeng asked.

"Or ...... Ask your uncle? ”

Wang Xifeng's uncle is General Zhengsanpin Weilie, the governor of the Later Military Governor's Office, and the current chief officer of the Xianwu Battalion, Wang Ziteng.

Although Wang Ziteng does not have a title, this kind of official position is a rare real power and military position in the court, and his views are certainly of reference value.

"That's good...... Two days later, I went to visit my aunt and uncle, just in time to see the newly renovated garden! ”

When the husband and wife were discussing countermeasures, Jia Yu also came to Rongxi Hall and was talking to his own brother.

"Second brother, a few days ago, Yuan Chun came with a letter?"

"Hmm!"

"What does the letter say?"

"It's just a trivial matter!"

"Really?"

The two brothers seldom sat together, and their conversation was extremely dry at the moment, similar to that of strangers.

"Big brother, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly!"

"Second child, you're still safe!" Jia Yu looked at his brother.

"Big brother, I asked Lian to choose the Dragon Guard, is he restless?"

With a look of displeasure on his face, Jia Zheng continued: "Then I want to ask, the selection of the Wuxun family into the Praetorian Guard is the ancestral system set by the grandfather of the world, although my family has lived up to the grand occasion of the year, it is still the Wuxun family, right?" ”

"Lian'er went to choose the guard, what's wrong?"

"Is it as simple as choosing a Praetorian Guard? Don't you have anything else on your mind? Jia Yu did not back down.

Jia Zheng's daughter is the crown prince's concubine, and whether he is doing all this for the Jia family or for his own small family is not clear in Jia Yu's view.

So he is reluctant to take risks, at least for him to see no benefits, the key is that the risk of tossing is still extremely high.

"When my father was there, what was the grand situation of our family? Now that the family is in ruins, you are indifferent to the eldest brother? ”

Standing up, Jia Zheng said solemnly: "It's man-made, we have to do something!" ”
