The True Winner of the Red Chamber

Early the next morning, Zhen Yingjia packed her things and went to Qingsong Academy to find Kang He.

But before looking for Kanghe, he had to say hello to his father-in-law and grandfather-in-law, so the first stop was to go to the main courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, still some distance away from the main house, Zhen Yingjia heard a roar from Li Daji. Although he couldn't make out what it was, no matter the original owner or Zhen Yingjia, he had never seen Li Daji so angry in his memory.

Zhen Yingjia saw Li Yi standing at the door with a worried expression on his face, and waved him over.

"Who is in there? How did you make grandpa so angry?"

"Who else could it be?" Li Yi curled his lips, "The cousin in the capital, the former Imperial College Jijiu."

"Why are you arguing?" Zhen Yingjia knew that it was Li Shouzhong, Li Wan's biological father, but he was still a little puzzled, "Why did he come to the south of the Yangtze River? Grandfather also wants to call him cousin, why is he so ignorant?" Big or small?"

Li Yi shook his head, "I don't know, I heard they were let out. When I came in the morning, I went in with my father and grandfather to talk, and we just started arguing."

The voices in the room gradually became quieter, presumably the old folks with sons and daughters and big families finally calmed down.

Li Yi said: "If my father sees me eavesdropping here, he will beat me when he comes out."

Zhen Yingjia followed him out of the main courtyard, just in time to see Kang He coming.

Li Yi was still at odds with him, so he said hello coldly and then left.

"It's not very convenient inside now." Zhen Yingjia said, "I happen to have something to ask you, let's go for a walk on the mountain."

Kang He nodded dully.

The two walked together in silence for a long time without speaking.

When they walked past the place where they usually exercised in the morning, Xu Shi connected with each other, and the two spoke at the same time.

"News from Beijing..."

"I'm going back to the capital..."

They paused at the same time, and then spoke at the same time.

"You speak first."

Zhen Yingjia thought for a while, and said: "Yesterday, a letter came from Jia's mansion. It is the Jia's mansion with a family of two peoples. The Zhen family has relatives with the ancestors of Jia's family, and they have not broken contact all these years."

Kang He nodded. These things can be found out in an open and aboveboard manner. He hummed and signaled Zhen Yingjia to continue talking.

"A letter from Jia's mansion, it is said that side concubine Zhao has taken a fancy to my Zhiyin, and asked Jia's mansion to ask."

"Huh?" Kang He frowned, "How did you say it?"

Zhen Yingjia told about the eight-character question in Jia's letter, and seeing Kang He's expression suddenly relaxed, he felt that the matter was not so urgent.

Speaking of which, his daughter is only in her early ten years old, and she just wants to get married, and it can be delayed for at least six years.

Six years later, let alone the prince, even the throne of the emperor will have to be replaced.

"Ask for the horoscope is just a trick." Kang He said, he thought of Concubine Zhao's belly full of bad ideas, and her particularly incongruous face, a trace of disgust flashed across her face.

"She won't leave so many things to talk about." Kang He said slowly, "The prince will go further, and he may be the imperial concubine in the future. She will not say such things."

"You mean she's pretending?" Zhen Yingjia frowned. Speaking of which, it's not like he didn't want to double-check Concubine Zhao's homepage in the past. And, so I plan to ask first.

"It's not pretending." Kang He shook his head, "It's a hint. Think about the relationship between the Jia family and Concubine Zhao, is it good enough to help her as a matchmaker?"

Kang and the palace are very familiar, with his explanation, especially the addition to Concubine Zhao's character, Zhen Yingjia understood it all at once.

Kang He continued: "Concubine Zhao will never be so reckless in doing things. Everything should be said by the Jia family under her guidance."

Zhen Yingjia also said, "It's not a guide, I've never heard Jia's family say that there is a relationship with the prince's family, if Jia's family can really pick up the prince's side concubine, or a favored prince's side concubine, they will definitely shout the whole world. I know. And...if that's the case, the eldest girl in their house wouldn't have gone elsewhere."

"It's also possible that Jia's family decided to make their own decisions." Zhen Yingjia felt relieved all of a sudden.

"Exactly." Kang He said, "But side concubine Zhao..." He shook his head, "It's hard to explain. If she can let this news out, it's also a test."

Zhen Yingjia remembered that this family had a good relationship with the crown prince and concubine, and now that the crown princess hadn't shown her face at all in this matter, and was bypassed by the side concubine, it was time to comfort him.

"In the letter from the Jia family..." Zhen Yingjia organized the words and said, "It also mentioned that Zhao side concubine was liked by the crown prince..."

Kang He sighed, "The whole capital knows..." He squinted his eyes and looked at Zhen Yingjia solemnly, "That's exactly what I want to say, I'm going back to the capital."

Hearing the news again, Zhen Yingjia was still very surprised. Although Kang He had already said that he would go back this year, there would be no reason for this year. Besides, he said last time that he would go back in autumn, and it is only summer now.

"It's not that simple." Kang He remembered the news he had just received.

The princess was sick with anger.

The emperor severely reprimanded the prince.

There is also news from the Supervisor of Ceremonies that the emperor has written an edict to abolish the prince.

Although it is a draft, although it is torn up after writing, but once this heart is raised, how long can the prince hold on?

Finally, there is the matter of Miss Zhen's family.

Speaking of which, she is only a female official, but since she has already entered the princess's room, and Kang He has specially confessed to take care of her, how could it spread the news that side concubine Zhao is interested in her.

And if even unrelated people like the Jia family have heard of it, it will be interesting.

Leaving aside the identity of the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, then the matter would be like this: Zhao side concubine wanted the female officer in the crown prince's palace to be a concubine for the concubine, but the crown prince failed to stop it.

Either the side concubine Zhao has more power than the crown princess, or the crown princess is too ill to be able to act.

Because there are still emperors and queens on it, the former one is basically impossible, so is the latter one?

Must return to Beijing!

The two embarked on the road down the mountain again, "I'm leaving tomorrow." Kang He said: "Go back and pack your bags first, take care!"

Zhen Yingjia went back to the main house a little sadly.

Li Shixin was sending Li Shouzhong out, but Li Daji thought he was still in the house.

The two stood on the corridor saying goodbye, but there was a faint anger on their faces.

Seeing Zhen Yingjia coming, Li Shouzhong smiled, "Is this your son-in-law?"

Li Shixin glanced at Zhen Yingjia, and nodded unwillingly, only to hear Li Shouzhong nod again with a smile and said: "I'm already a child student. Next year's college exam is hard work!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhen Yingjia to see the ceremony, he walked out of the yard in two steps.

Li Shixin looked at Zhen Yingjia's expression incomprehensibly, and Li Daji's still calm voice came from the room, "Come in, both of you!"

As soon as Zhen Yingjia entered, she saw Li Daji sitting on the main seat, his chest heaving unceasingly, presumably he was still angry.

He glanced at Zhen Yingjia and said, "He was released."

Zhen Yingjia nodded, Li Yi had told him the news just now.

"Hmph!" Li Shixin sneered, "Do you know what he released? Jinling Province Xuezheng!"

what!

This time Zhen Yingjia was really surprised.

What is Xuezheng for?Xuezheng presided over the college examination, in other words, he wrote the examination questions.

No wonder he just said that next year's college exam will be a good one.

As if the news wasn't bad enough, Li Daji sighed and threw out the second news.

"The newly appointed Xuezheng said that our Qingsong Academy has revised the test papers for ten years. To ensure fairness, Qinglin Academy will start to change the test papers next year!"

Now even if he knows the exam questions, he won't pass the exam!
