The True Winner of the Red Chamber

It's just that time didn't allow Zhiqi to think for too long, besides, the boat has already been sent down to pick up Lin Daiyu, not long.Not long after, when Jia Yucun escorted Lin Daiyu to board the boat, Zhiqi shyly followed Zhen Yingjia and greeted Lin Daiyu in a low voice.

Zhen Yingjia exchanged pleasantries with Jia Yucun first, and then said to Lin Daiyu who was standing silently with her head bowed: "Let Zhiqi take you to play inside and drink two cups of hot tea."

Lin Daiyu nodded slightly, thanked her in a low voice, and walked in behind Zhiqi.

Zhen Yingjia went to see Zhiqi again, only to see that Zhiqi looked at Lin Daiyu with surprise on her face, and she still couldn't bear it.Needless to say, Zhen Yingjia also knew why her daughter was surprised. How old is Lin Daiyu this year?She is indeed a little too thin for her age.

Seeing the two of them walking towards the inner room one after the other, and Zhiqi went to hold Lin Daiyu's hand again, Zhen Yingjia felt relieved and sat in the hall with Jia Yucun. It was a little unpleasant. Although Baoyu was a bit of a jerk at that time, he was one of his own after all, so Zhen Yingjia still felt a little unhappy when he saw Jia Yucun.

But Jia Yucun was talking and laughing happily, as if he had forgotten all about it. In addition, he was a Jinshi after all, and his speech and behavior were remarkable, so it didn't take long for Zhen Yingjia to enter the mood, and the two chatted peacefully about recent experiences and Scenery along the way.

"I'm going to the capital this time. First, I'm sending Mrs. Lin's daughter to her grandfather's house. Second, I'm here." Jia Yucun deliberately bought a pass, and said, "There is news in Beijing that there will be a rehabilitative officer. I will go to Beijing It's for that."

Zhen Yingjia smiled and said congratulations, but Jia Yucun declined with a smile, "This matter is not yet settled."

Who would believe this, if she smiled like that, she must have a clue.But Zhen Yingjia was also a little curious. Speaking of which, Jia Zheng had resigned, so who else could help him with activities except Lin Ruhai?

Zhen Yingjia deliberately said: "The Jia family in the capital is related to Mr. Lin. Although I heard that the second master of their family has resigned from office, the relationship is still there. It is possible to come to do some activities."

Jia Yucun nodded first, and then said with a smile on his face, "Exactly."

Zhen Yingjia smiled, and felt that he was probably out of luck this time, at least he couldn't make it to such a good place as Ying Tianfu like the original book.

It's just that Jia Yucun smiled so complacently that it didn't hurt his self-confidence.

The two continued chatting without saying a word, and said a few more words about the exam. Jia Yucun also recited to Zhen Yingjia the essays he wrote when he was admitted to Jinshi.

The life on the boat is so boring, it is so easy to find someone new, Zhen Yingjia reluctantly endured it, and said a few more words, only to see Zhiqi looking at the door, and kept beckoning him to pass, Zhen Yingjia said: "At this time... How about having dinner on my boat today?"

Jia Yucun laughed and said, "I was just about to say that this boat is good, so I will be disrespectful."

Zhen Yingjia called his servants to take Jia Yucun to freshen up, while he went to Zhiqi's, "Why don't you accompany your sister?"

"Talk to grandma." Zhi Qi asked eagerly when she saw him: "Can I take her to live on our boat?"

Zhen Yingjia hesitated for a moment, Zhi Qi pulled him inside, and stopped to show him when he reached the entrance of the flower hall, "Look at how thin she looks, she has no energy when I talk to her, her hands are cold of."

As soon as Zhiqi talked, she couldn't stop talking, "...only two people were with me to serve, such a small boat, I felt so dizzy that I couldn't eat after thinking about it, and the weather was cold, and she would be drenched in the wind on the boat. ..."

"Father!" Seeing that Zhen Yingjia didn't agree for a long time, Zhiqi became anxious.

"It's not impossible." Zhen Yingjia didn't want to disappoint her daughter, and said: "Her father is not around, you just ask her to stay with you for one night, and then if you can persuade your grandmother to speak, it will be done."

Zhiqi thought for a while, smiled at Zhen Yingjia, and immediately went inside to pester Lin Daiyu to let her stay for the night.

Zhen Yingjia turned around, only to see that Li Yi had just woken up and walked out yawning, "It's so noisy, who's on board?"

Seeing him like this, Zhen Yingjia thought it was amused, and said: "Earlier, Baoyu's teacher heard that the central government was going to rehabilitate the former staff, so he planned to go out and mobilize a certain missing person."

The Central Committee of Beijing wants to rehabilitate the ex-officials!

Just now, she didn't feel anything, and after talking to Li Yi, Zhen Yingjia noticed something unusual.

In the imperial examination held every three years, nearly 300 people can be selected by the top three, and there are also Guozijian Jiansheng who can directly become officials, and Juren who have passed the township examination.

Besides, there will be a palace test in April next year, and there will be a large number of reserve officials.Speaking of it, there is actually no shortage of candidates, so why do we need to recruit old recruits?

What is the reason for the emperor to choose to restore the old members at this time.

Thinking about the current situation, the prince has just been abolished, and at the same time, many officials of the prince's department have been implicated. Filling the vacancy must be one reason, and the other is that the emperor wants to firmly grasp the power in his hands.

From this point of view, the political affiliation of the old members is easier to grasp than the new ones.

Zhen Yingjia secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It is much more difficult for Kang He to seek the throne than his uncles. Now his only hope is that the emperor can live for a few more years, and then he will slowly figure it out.

Li Yi went to wash up, Zhen Yingjia thought about it, and went to the inner room.

Lin Daiyu called him Uncle Shi, so he had to take a look and ask how he was doing.

"So did your father."

As soon as Zhen Yingjia walked in, she saw Zhen's mother holding Lin Daiyu's hand and said, "At such a young age, I can safely let you go to Beijing alone? But it is very appropriate to send you to your grandmother's house, and your father is also doing it for your own good. After finishing speaking, he said: "Is that boat following us yours?"

Lin Daiyu nodded, and Zhen's mother couldn't help sighing, "You're thinner than when I saw you last time, it's a pity that no one in your family cares about you, if your grandmother is still there, you won't be sent to your grandparents' house. "

Lin Daiyu lowered her head even more, Zhen Yingjia coughed, and took over the conversation, "Just now Zhiqi told me, do you think I will clean up another room for you at night, or sleep with Zhiqi?"

"I don't dare to bother Uncle Shi, I—" Before I could say anything, I was interrupted by Mother Zhen, "I live with Zhiqi! The river is already wet, and it's winter, so the two of us will be warmer."

Zhiqi hurriedly took Lin Daiyu's hand and said, "I'll take you to my room to have a look."

Mother Zhen looked at the backs of the two and sighed: "Think about when the child in our family died, mother... Sigh. Anyway, I still watch over our family. Look at the Lin family."

Zhen Yingjia sat down beside Zhen's mother, and Zhen's mother said: "Before I saw that the Lin family didn't interact with us, I wanted to calm her down, but after we met, I couldn't bear to see her like this."

"It's just a little girl," Zhen Yingjia said, "It's fine."

"It's just that she died just half a year after my mother, and she was sent to a strange place in Beijing by her father when she was in a turbulent mood. Although I said in front of her earlier that it was appropriate to send her to her grandparents' home, it was not." Mother Zhen Said: "Besides, I heard you told me this time that the Jia family is not a good family."

Zhen Yingjia nodded, "Exactly. It's okay to talk about failure, there is always a rise and fall, but they have done too much."

"The Jia family needs to be far away." Zhen's mother frowned, "Zhi Qi likes her so much, I'm afraid she will be called over in the future..." She thought for a while and said, "But it's still in the filial age, she She looks sensible, so I probably won't come out. There are so many people in Beijing, I guess Zhiqi will let it go soon."

Zhen Yingjia nodded according to Zhen's mother's intention, and said, "It's okay if Zhiqi likes it. After all, one's surname is Lin and the other's surname is Jia."

Mother Zhen didn't answer the question, and asked: "Did the Jia family deliver the things we sent in the early years to the fourth prince's residence?"

Zhen Yingjia nodded, and he poked his gold finger to look at it many times, "I thought since the Jia family is not benevolent, we don't have to be so polite."

Mother Zhen looked at him very curiously, and Zhen Yingjia smiled and said, "The few boxes that the Jia family left in our house will not be returned. In the future, if the old account is turned over, it will be said that the Jia family bought these things with money. Both money and property.”

"Your idea," Mother Zhen laughed twice, "it's not bad. In this way, we will be out of the relationship, and the word of business will be involved. At least from outsiders, our relationship with them will not be so good."

After dinner in the evening, Lin Daiyu is considered to be staying. Speaking of which, the conditions on board the Zhen family ship are much better. Although Lin Daiyu didn't say anything, Jia Yucun, who stayed for one night, has already given out a lot of compliments. words.

It's just that it's not easy to live in Jiayu Village, and she will go down after only staying for one night. Lin Daiyu wants to go with him, but he persuades her.

"The closer it is to the capital, the colder it gets, and the boat doesn't block the wind. If I get sick, I can't tell your father." Jia Yucun said, "Why don't you stay here and have someone to accompany you."

Everyone around persuaded Lin Daiyu to nod.

The rest of the day was pretty good, Zhen Yingjia asked the boatman to take the hemp rope, and dragged the Lin family's boat and Jia Yucun's clothes behind him.

He and Li Yi calmed down and studied, preparing for the exam next year.

Half a month later, there was already a light snowfall in the capital, and the group of them finally arrived in the capital.

Zhen Yingjia accompanied Zhiqi, watching the people from Jia's family pick up Lin Daiyu, and said goodbye to Jia Yucun, then turned the car and went to Zhen's mansion.

Their new house has been repaired, Ji Chu has burned the earth dragon in advance, and there is a hot brazier in the house, and the whole person feels very comfortable when they come in.

Zhen Yingjia called Ji Chu to the study and said, "Is there any news in Beijing today?"

Ji Chu smiled, "A few days ago, I hurriedly sent them to the master to see. It was quiet near the end of the year, but yesterday I heard that the eldest son of Prince Yizhong came back from the Taimiao."

Um?Kang He is back.

"I heard that I didn't live in Yizhong Prince's Mansion, so I went to live in the palace again."
