The True Winner of the Red Chamber

Life in the academy was fulfilling and busy, and inadvertently, summer had passed, and the lush vegetation and leaves in the academy began to turn yellow little by little, and Zhen Yingjia's clothes became thicker day by day.

Kang He never lost his composure again.

Regarding this point, Zhen Yingjia felt quite regretful.

To use a popular saying in his previous life, Kang He is a serious and serious little fresh meat in front of him. For Zhen Yingjia who does not plan to live a "serious and serious" life in this life, this style of person is particularly attractive.

It's a pity, Zhen Yingjia spread his hands and continued to read the "Instructions for the Imperial Examination" given to him by Li Daji.

At this moment, Kang He who lived across from him knocked on the door frame.

"I've run out of ink sticks, do you have any extra here?"

Zhen Yingjia raised her eyebrows, and subconsciously felt that this excuse was a bit lame, but after thinking about it, Kang He could see that he came from a family, and he might not be used to the uniform equipment of the academy.

Zhen Yingjia bent down and rummaged through the box under the bookshelf, and said, "It's cheap for you, this ink ingot was given to me by Lin Ruhai, and it was said to be treasured for many years, but I asked you to use it first."

He paused on purpose to allow Kang He enough time to realize who Lin Ruhai was.

Speaking of it, this is also a test, Kang He's status is definitely not ordinary, but Zhen Yingjia doesn't know how good it is, so first use Lin Ruhai to test it out.

Lin Ruhai is in the Jiangnan area, no matter how he ranks among the top three civil servants, so it depends on his attitude...

Zhen Yingjia straightened up and turned around, only to find that Kang He had stood behind him at some point, and this posture... made Zhen Yingjia, who was ready to find a man but had no practical experience in two lifetimes, blush a little.

Kang He was raising his arms, pulling out a set of three hundred thousand from his bookshelf.He was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard of Lin Ruhai, nor had he heard that Zhen Yingjia and Lin Ruhai had a close relationship.

"Why did you bring this?" Zhen Yingjia frowned.

Three hundred thousand are actually three books, known as the essentials for the enlightenment of ancient children: the Three Character Classic, Hundred Surnames and Thousand Family Texts.

This set of books was also used by Zhen Yingjia when she was a child. It is still a manuscript, and it has been 20 years, so it is very old.

But this is not the most important point. This set of books was written to him by the third prince when he came to study in the south of the Yangtze River, and...the third prince back then is the current emperor...

But Kang He's expression... is a bit subtle.

Zhen Yingjia looked at Kang He and stared at Qian Jiawen's cover, and felt that Kang He really had a great identity.

The third prince back then is now the emperor's handwriting has a very recognizable feature, anyone who has seen his handwriting can basically recognize it.

With the stroke of "捺", the emperor first presses down, and then pulls it out long, with a very unique style.

Zhen Yingjia observed Kang He's expression, saw his eyes flicker, and remembered something, put the book back again, took the ink ingot from Zhen Yingjia's hand, and said, "Thank you."

He spoke less than usual, and seemed to be trying too hard to keep his face expressionless.

Of course it was very slight excessive force, if Zhen Yingjia hadn't been good at reading people's hearts, he wouldn't have noticed it.

Zhen Yingjia didn't bother to greet Kang He, he was all focused on thinking about one question, who is Kang He?

So young, it is said that he is only 17 years old, and he has seen the emperor's handwriting and can still recognize it.

It couldn't be the courtiers, if there were such young and promising courtiers in the imperial court, the whole world must know about it.Then there is only one possibility.

This Kang He is a relative of the emperor's family.

Zhen Yingjia smiled, which made sense.

But who it is, Zhen Yingjia has no idea yet.

The names of the emperor's family members, apart from the emperor himself who needs to be avoided, and the name of the late emperor, the rest are also mysteries. If Zhen Yingjia is still in the capital, we can still find out one or two, but unfortunately we can only guess based on his age now.

In two days, it was the first day of August, the day when the academy was taking a bath. After careful consideration, Zhen Yingjia decided to send someone to Beijing to deliver things to her daughter who had already entered the prince's mansion.

A half-made winter coat.

Earlier, Zhen Yingjia only entered the palace with her daughter in mind. According to the posture of accepting maids in the palace, at least a year or so of training would be required to allocate them.

It's a pity that the eldest daughter of his family is not an ordinary person, she is smart and clever, and Zhen Yingjia's family is in the thick of it, and she is seeking to be the prince who has always been friends with her, so she greeted the maid in charge, without even covering the bed It was hot, so I went to the East Palace with the unopened bedroll.

It was only later that Zhen Yingjia found out about it.

Although the development of the situation is not satisfactory, it reflects from the side that the original owner is a sweet potato, which is also a good thing.

Zhen Yingjia looked at the half-made winter clothes on the table, knocked on the table, and said to Ji Chu, the long follower standing in front of him: "You and your wife, go to Beijing and go to the Prince's Mansion to bring the things to the eldest girl."

Ji Chu nodded and said yes, "Master, do you have something to tell the girl."

That's why Zhen Yingjia wanted him to go to Beijing. The Ji family and his wife are the smartest of all the servants of the Zhen family. Besides, it was just an excuse for him to send things there, the real purpose was to convey words.

When the original owner sent his daughter to Beijing, he said a lot of things about self-improvement. In Zhen Yingjia's view, it was tantamount to asking for a dead end, so he had to find an excuse to reverse what he said earlier.

Although the crown prince has lost his ambitions, the frequency of sending people to his house has not decreased much. The eldest daughter is going to the present, so it stands to reason that she has little chance to see her family.So this opportunity to give something had to be found well, and the people in the prince's house had no reason to refuse, so Zhen Yingjia had been holding back this matter for a long time, and finally waited until the weather turned cold.

Is there anything more difficult to refuse than sending mother's relics, or in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion.

All goodness and filial piety come first, the prince is now longing for a good reputation.

"You tell the eldest girl that this dress was made by the madam before she was alive. Recently, she was packing up the belongings of the madam for my father, and found that there was a half-made winter coat for you, so I specially sent someone to bring it to you, as a thought. "

Ji Chu nodded, but he didn't leave yet, obviously knowing that he didn't finish his sentence.

Zhen Yingjia nodded in satisfaction, "As well as the current situation at home, you can choose one or two to tell the eldest girl, so that she doesn't worry too much. For example, I have resigned from the office and went to Qingsong Academy to study. This time I must Since she was born in the imperial examination, she earned a royal order for her mother who was born in a scholarly family."

The three words resignation, Qingsong Academy, and imperial examination were re-read. Ji Chu nodded thoughtfully while listening.

"I also told her not to worry. Although I haven't seen her in the past two years, I can go to the capital to see her after I pass the provincial examination."

After Zhen Yingjia finished explaining, she was relieved, and she only hoped that the eldest daughter would be as sensible as she remembered, and could understand what he hinted at.

Hearing that Zhen Yingjia had finished speaking, Ji Chu showed a look of sudden realization. Although Zhen Yingjia felt that he was acting a bit too much, it is better to have more servants who can understand his thoughts.

Zhen Yingjia said: "I'm afraid you are going to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital."

Ji Chu said with a smile: "The young one grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has been to the outskirts of Jinling as far as he can. It's time to go to the capital to open his eyes."

Zhen Yingjia smiled and said: "Since that's the case, you don't need to come back in a hurry. I still have a house in the capital. You can go and have a look after I send something to the eldest girl. If there is anything to repair or add something new , let’s do it together.”

"Thank you, master!" Ji Chu smiled brightly, this time it wasn't overacting.

Because of repairing the yard and adding furniture, it is a good job to be able to hold back a little by default.

When Ji Chu went out, Zhen Yingjia took down a magnificent box from the bookshelf, which contained all the correspondence between the emperor and his own father, as well as some records of Zhen Yingjia's own father, such as the imperial secrets that the emperor inadvertently leaked.

So even if you are favored, you have to work hard.

Zhen Yingjia scrolled forward according to the year.

Then I saw on the page in the fourth year of Jianyuan, the news of the birth of the fifth son of the emperor, Ruiding, was written.

Jianyuan was born in four years, and now he is just 16 years old. His age is right. The fifth prince and the fourth prince are already 21 years old. He has already passed the age of studying abroad. many.

Moreover, on the page of the sixth prince, it was written that he was born with constant serious illnesses, and the imperial physician said that he was not a sign of longevity.So such a frail and sickly person, even if he looks old, will never be physically strong enough to run around the mountain twice.

As for the name mismatch, couldn't it be a fake name?

But... In the third year of Jianyuan, two people were born, the eldest son of the crown prince and the second son of the concubine, but the names of these two were not found out.

Zhen Yingjia shook her head, probably not.

Now is the time when the crown prince's eyebrows are on fire, and I heard that the eldest son is not favored, and the second son is about to get married. It is estimated that at this time, even if the eldest son is out to study, he should go back.

Kang He didn't show any intention of leaving the academy.

Looking at it this way, could it be that Kang He is really the fifth son of the emperor, Rui Ding, who has a pseudonym?

Zhen Yingjia felt that he had to try again.
