The True Winner of the Red Chamber

Before Zhen Yingjia could think about what the emperor meant, almost instantly, the eunuch smiled again.

"The sentence just now was specifically ordered by His Majesty to our family, but according to what our family has seen, His Majesty is not angry at all, and on the contrary agrees with Lord Zhen's actions."

Zhen Yingjia's originally expressionless face showed a faint smile, which seemed calm.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for your suggestion."

Not only his grandfather-in-law could tell the eunuch's grade, but Zhen Yingjia could too.

Although his theoretical knowledge of etiquette is not as rich as Li Daji's, he has much more practical experience. Don't forget that the emperor lived in his house three times during his southern tour. have seen.

He has seen two eunuchs who are known as the No. 1 eunuch in charge of ceremonies.

Not to mention what kind of clothes these people should wear, he even knew how many pairs of rubies should be on the phoenix hairpin on the queen's head.

Of course, he was still a young lady at that time, and he was basically watched by the queen in her arms.

The eunuch smiled, and Zhen Yingjia said, "Have you asked your father-in-law's name?"

"Don't dare." The eunuch hurriedly cupped his hands to express his politeness, "Our family name is Cao, and our name is Fuxiang."

"That's a good name. You entered the Prison of Rituals at this age. I still remember..." Zhen Yingjia tilted her head and half-closed her eyes to recall, "Back when Zhang Ningji, the palm seal eunuch, entered the Prison of Ceremonies, he was already Forty years old."

"You will be more beautiful than Zhang Ningji in the future." Zhen Yingjia looked at Cao Fuxiang and said with emotion.

Cao Fuxiang laughed so much that his facial features wrinkled together, just like scholars who want to win the first prize, and after winning the first prize, they want to enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister. Eunuchs also have the ideal of eunuchs.

That is the Supervisor of Rituals, the number one palm print eunuch in the world.

So these words are a great blessing to Cao Fuxiang.

The smile on Cao Fuxiang's face hung on for a while, and he pretended to mention it casually.

"Your memorial has already been uploaded. As soon as the supervisor of ceremonies received the memorial, he sent it to the imperial study. His majesty had already approved it, and sent someone to the Ministry of officials to handle it. He also praised you in the cabinet. This matter It happened to be handled by our family, but someone made a suggestion later, which was delayed for almost a month."

"Oh?" Zhen Yingjia raised her eyebrows, and her voice softened, with a touch of temptation, she asked, "I was just the president of the Jinling Provincial Institute of Physical Education, this official... I really can't think of anyone who would object to it." .”

Cao Fuxiang smiled, and said in a different tone: "It's not that I object, speaking of which, you recognize the two." After speaking, he also glanced at Zhen Yingjia, as if to say: Guess who?

Zhen Yingjia hates this way of speaking with hooks one by one, and then slowly shaking the burden, but it is popular in the whole officialdom to only say three points, all relying on personal comprehension skills. It just so happens that he used to be the real president. I did this, so although I don't like it, my skills are still full.

"I know..." Zhen Yingjia thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I know, and the one who can influence His Majesty's decision... must be a high-ranking official, and there must be a prince Teng among them, as for the other person..." Zhen Yingjia shook her head, "I can't guess."

In fact, it can be guessed. After all, the Zhen family has rooted in Jinling for generations, and there are only two people in Beijing they know, the Jia family, the Wang family, and the Li family who is barely a relative.

Although Jia's family is the government of the state, Jia pardoned the prince but had no position, and Jia Zheng had a position but was too young to see the emperor. In this way, it is only the Li family.

But he didn't understand what the Li family could object to.

Cao Fuxiang laughed loudly and said: "My lord is quick-witted, no wonder Your Majesty always praises you. It is the Wang family who manages the Jiedu Envoy Prince Teng Wang, and there is another person who is Guozijian Jijiu, Li Shouzhong."

Zhen Yingjia frowned, with a sad look on her face.

Seeing this, Cao Fuxiang hurriedly smiled and comforted him: "These two are not against it. They suggested to His Majesty that it is better to let the adults study in the Imperial College, which happens to be in the capital, and they can also enter the palace to accompany them from time to time. However, Your Majesty thought about it for two days. , did not agree in the end.”

I knew it was a drag!

Zhen Yingjia sneered in her heart, but her face remained calm, and said: "Maybe your Majesty knows that my father-in-law is also a well-educated person."

The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.

Cao Fuxiang: As long as you understand.

Zhen Yingjia: I understand, thank you father-in-law for your suggestion.

After drinking two more sips of tea, Cao Fuxiang stood up and said goodbye, "Our family is going to live in the Tirenyuan. If your lord has anything to do, you can come to our family. Our family will enter the Supervisor of Rituals soon, but All the eunuchs in the south of the Yangtze River can talk."

Zhen Yingjia thanked him with a smile, and sent him out, thinking about the attitudes of Wang Ziteng and Li Shouzhong.

Zhen Yingjia has seen countless people. Although I can't say that I guessed the thoughts of those two people [-]% of the time, it is not a big problem to estimate six or seven points.

Let's talk about Wang Ziteng first, why should he go to the capital?

This is from the class of the Jinling family.

The four families of Jinling are the four families of Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue on the official talisman, but now two generations have passed since the first edition of the official talisman was written, and the order on the official talisman should also be It's changed.

First of all, the ranking of the Jia family will drop by two places.

In Jia Zheng's generation, the two brothers, including Jia Jing from Ningguo Mansion, a total of three people will not have any future. The few people in the first generation are even more hopeless.

Jia Zhen only knows about lewd pleasures all day long. Although Jia Lian has a position as an acquaintance, she has no intention of official career. She is in charge of the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion. Next is Jia Zhu, who died just last month, and Jia Baoyu. ...

Zhen Yingjia trembled, if he knew how to study for the imperial examination, there would be no Dream of Red Mansions.

In the next generation, Jia Rong has the same temperament as his own father. Jia Lian did not give birth to a son until the end of the play. , he is better than Jia Lian, at least he has stayed behind by the end of the whole play.

So in this calculation, the Jia family has now withdrawn from the power center, and at least for 20 years, the Jia family will not be able to go back.Even if it is the number one scholar in the Jialan examination, it must start from the compilation of the Imperial Academy, so the 20 years mentioned above are still too optimistic to be optimistic.

The Xue family, since the head of the Xue family died, the Xue family has been in a slump. Now, apart from some money, it is these in-law relationships that can be used, so they are still at the bottom of the list.

As for the Wang family, because of the birth of a Prince Teng, the Prince Teng who has already managed the Jiedushi has risen to the top of the four families in Jinling.

As for the historians, with the death of Mrs. Shi, they have vaguely separated from the small group of the Four Families of Jinling, and they are now a double marquis, and they don't want to hang out with Wang Ziteng anymore.

In this case, the Zhen family, which was originally regarded as the outskirts of the four major families, should not be let go.

Otherwise, Wang Ziteng would not even have a younger brother.

Besides, if Zhen Yingjia really passed the exam, and he was so liked by the emperor, wouldn't he be riding on top of Wang Ziteng?

So Wang Ziteng wants him to go to the capital... There will be more places where he can do it in the capital. If you invite him out for a drink and a few jealousy, he will be hopeless in the imperial examination, and then he can follow Wang Ziteng honestly. mixed up.

As for the Li family, there is probably only one reason.

The son-in-law of their family who became a scholar at the age of 14 died, so for the Jinling Li family who was not harmonious on the surface, and even less harmonious on the inside, there was nothing left but to show off, so Zhen Yingjia, as the son-in-law of the Jinling Li family, still Don't be promising.

So the Li family also wanted him to study in the Imperial College. Li Shouzhong was the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, which is equivalent to a modern principal. It is easy for a principal to kill students.

Zhen Yingjia shook his head. He is still too weak at present. When he becomes an official in the court, he will be able to return these things one by one when he is strong enough. Fortunately, he still has the most golden man in the world to hug.

Zhen Yingjia stood up, and it was time to write a memorial to the emperor. Apart from thanking him, should I attach my own article?Also let the emperor see that he really worked hard.

And it is also a good opportunity to score points.

For a while, all the reminders were repeated. Today, what I said to Cao Fuxiang is confirmed, it must be when the emperor praised him in the cabinet.

Zhen Yingjia smiled and shook his head. According to this speed, he might be promoted to the second level in less than ten days, and then he will be able to see other people's comments for him.

Alas... It seems that finding a well-known person to repost Weibo is really a good way to increase popularity.
