The palace of the warlord Waheng Street.

The Wang family moved here only after Wang Ziteng became the envoy of the Jingying Festival.

This was originally the mansion of a lesser-known marquis in the former Ming Dynasty, but it was destroyed in the war and rebuilt after the Great Zhou Dynasty built the capital of Jingshi.

To the east, along the Nianzi Hutong, you can go straight to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Jinyi Guard, and the military department now occupies a part of the original Houjun Governor's Mansion, and lives next to the Tongzheng Division and Taichang Temple.

To the north, you can go directly to West Chang'an Street along the Stone Tablet Hutong, to the south you can take the Fossil Bridge and Xiangzha Bridge to Liulichang, and to the west, you can go all the way along the Velvet Hutong to the side of the Sanfa Division, which can be described as a real feng shui treasure.

This mansion is the emperor, and now it is rewarded by the emperor, covering a lot of land, the key is that this glory is difficult for others to have, Wang Ziteng was once grateful, but now it makes him a little uneasy.

"Master, Master Jia is here." He came in and whispered.

Wang Ziteng, who was interrupted from thinking, was a little displeased, but thinking that Jia Zheng was called by himself, he could only hold back his anger and nodded, "Please invite him to the living room, and I will come over immediately." ”

Jia Zheng was dressed in blue-gray poplin clothes, and when he saw Wang Ziteng, he quickly got up, "Second brother." ”

Today, he was humiliated, but he was recruited by this brother-in-law, and Jia Zheng was also a little puzzled.

Usually, except for the big festival, this brother-in-law rarely takes the initiative to contact the family here, usually when his wife returns to his parents' house, he will meet this person, and then say a few words, more often his wife knows some information through his sister-in-law.

It's different, this brother-in-law is now the envoy of the Jingying Festival and the right attendant of the military department, and he is hot, when he came before, there were at least a dozen sedan chairs and carriages lined up outside the house, and dozens of sedan chairmen have been lined up at the entrance of the street, so it is not lively.

After a few words of greeting, Wang Ziteng motioned for Jia Zheng to sit down, and then said slowly: "The eldest girl was taken by the concubine and went to Renshou Palace." ”

"Huh?" After Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, he stood up and hurriedly asked, "The concubine has taken a fancy to Renshou Palace?" ”

"Well, it was just a few days ago." Wang Ziteng's face was calm, "The concubine thinks that the eldest girl is dignified and magnificent, and she is quite fond of it, so she chose to go to Renshou Palace to do things." ”

Jia Zheng looked at this brother-in-law with blank eyes.

Although he is a little sluggish in these aspects, he also knows that his eldest girl has changed from an ordinary female history in the palace to working in the Renshou Palace where the concubine is located, which is definitely a great change, or from an outsider's point of view, it is definitely a leap.

But Jia Zheng didn't have much joy on his brother-in-law's face, which made him uneasy.

There is only one concubine who can be called a concubine, the emperor's mother died early, and Empress Xiaoren passed away twenty years ago, and the emperor has never been a queen, this concubine is almost the closest concubine who has been following the emperor, and now after being promoted to the concubine, she seems to have the posture of the queen mother.

Wang Ziteng also had a headache, and even he couldn't judge whether his sister and brother-in-law, the eldest daughter, went to Renshou Palace from the palace to do things.

This niece entered the palace at the age of twelve as a female history, and now it has been five years, and she is cautious in her words and deeds in the palace, which is quite well received, if the emperor is still on the throne, then going to Renshou Palace is undoubtedly a great thing, but now that the emperor is not in power, the emperor is difficult to decide, and it is a little difficult to say that he will go to Renshou Palace.

However, the emperor lost his mother at the age of twelve, and he was raised by this concubine, and the emperor passed on the throne without the credit of the concubine, but after the emperor succeeded to the throne, many things could not be calculated by common sense.

"Judging from this matter at the moment, it's not a bad thing, it's just a matter in this palace, and it's difficult for me and other ministers to see clearly, let's see the eldest girl's creation." Wang Ziteng rubbed his temples and thought for a while before he said.

I don't know what my sister-in-law thought at the beginning, so I actually agreed to let my eldest daughter enter the palace.

It's easy to enter the palace and difficult to get out of the palace, even if an ordinary female history wants to get out of the palace, she has to wait for the opportunity, and it is difficult to find a good family after leaving the palace, but if you stay in the palace, how can there be so many things to climb the branch and become a phoenix? Countless people have been guarding the deep palace for decades, and even the emperor is rare to see, is there still less such things?

Look at how many of the concubines in this palace are from real gentry families? The Great Zhou Dynasty followed the Ming system, and the queen has always only chosen among poor and small women, which is to prevent her relatives from becoming bigger, and the real famous families are not willing to send their daughters into the palace, especially the concubines are even rarer.

Hearing his brother-in-law say this, Jia Zheng's heart was also complicated and unspeakable.

Seeing that his sister-in-law's face was not very good-looking, Wang Ziteng also shook his head and diverted the topic: "There is no need to worry too much about Cunzhou, I said that at least it is not a bad thing, maybe the eldest girl has her own creation?" ”

Jia Zheng nodded silently.

"Well, the eldest girl is seventeen this year, right?" Wang Ziteng remembered something, "How old is Baoyu?" ”

"I'll be 10 years old in April next year." Jia Zheng hurriedly replied.

"Hmm, ten years old? Still reading at home? Wang Ziteng groaned and said, this is his sister's only sister-in-law now, and it can be regarded as the only hope for the Rongguo Mansion, as for Jia Yu's lineage, Wang Ziteng didn't take it to heart.

"Well, please have a tutor at home to teach you." Jia Zheng's heart tightened, how could this brother-in-law be so weird today, asking about these topics, he had never asked about his own family affairs before.

As if aware of his sister-in-law's doubts, the prince raised his forehead and smiled, "A few days ago, Lord Zhang, the left waiter in the ministry, asked me about the age of the Feng family, and I was surprised, saying that I could do this at the age of twelve, and now I went to Qingtan Academy to study, and the implication is also very expected, and I don't know where Zhang Shilang learned that your family was born with a jade title, and asked where to study, I said at home, Zuo Shilang looked a little puzzled,......"

"Huh?" Jia Zheng naturally knew who Zhang Shilang was talking about by his brother-in-law, and Zhang Jingqiu, the left waiter who was now temporarily in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War, actually knew that the Feng family had gone to Qingtan Academy to study, and asked about himself by the way, thinking of this, Jia Zheng was ashamed, angry and anxious.

Seeing that Jia Zheng's face was not very good-looking, Wang Ziteng also knew that his sister was too spoiled by this sister-in-law, so that she was already ten years old, and she was still messing around at home, and sighed: "Cun Zhou, you still have to think about it when you go back, if Baoyu is ten years old, I am afraid you will also have to consider finding a suitable place, no matter how bad it is, you have to take the test to show your talent, so as not to be poked in the back in the future." ”

"The second brother is right." Jia Zheng hurriedly said yes.

"That Feng Ziying went to Qingtan Academy for only a month, and it is said that she was quite valued by Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen, and I never thought that the Feng family, whose ancestors have been martial artists for generations, can actually give birth to a seed of reading, I heard that maybe they can really take the exam. Even so, Baoyu can't give it a try, even if it's not as good, but if he can learn from his brother to read a show, it can also make the Jia family not despised. ”

Wang Ziteng also heard about Feng Ziying's situation from Zhang Jingqiu.

He and Zhang Jingqiu are not all the way, but Zhang Jingqiu is a civil official, and he is born to suppress himself, although the emperor does not like this person very much, but this is a candidate pushed by the emperor, even the emperor has to tolerate one or two.

The civil officials have always been the most powerful group in the Great Zhou, and they have scholars as their backing, even the emperor has to tolerate a few points, maybe the only thing that can defeat them is themselves, Wang Ziteng suddenly had such a thought in his heart.

Wang Ziteng's words made Jia Zheng both nervous and a little embarrassed.

The Feng family is indeed nothing, among the martial arts of the four kings, eight dukes and twelve marquis, they are not ranked at all, to put it mildly, if it weren't for Feng Tang being the chief soldier of Datong for a few years, a miscellaneous Shenwu general, it would not have been placed in the eyes of the Jia family of the two dukes.

This is not to say that Wang Ziteng, the head of the in-law family, is already the right attendant of the military department and the envoy of the Jingying Festival, and even Feng Tang still has to bump into Wang Ziteng's wooden clock?

But now Feng Ziying has suddenly become a sweetheart in the eyes of many people, with courage, good luck, and the key is that she can still read, which is too hateful.

Jia Zheng sighed, in contrast, people naturally want to look at their own son, who was born with a jade title and is known as a son who may have great wealth and wealth.

Where does great wealth come from? The Jia family is one family and two countries, under the attack, how can they be rich and rich? What other way can I go but study?

"The second brother is right, after going back, the foolish brother will definitely educate Baoyu well." Jia Zheng gritted his teeth and said.

"Well, if you can read it, it will naturally be a different kind of creation." Wang Ziteng said indispensably, to be honest, he didn't have much confidence in Jia Baoyu's study, but he couldn't remind his sister-in-law, "Well, your third girl is younger than Baoyu, right?" ”

"Huh?" Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "You mean Tanchun?" One year younger,......"

"Well, you haven't decided yet, have you?" Wang Ziteng stroked his chin, "Three years younger than that Feng Ziying, it's also suitable,......"

"This ......" Jia Zheng was still a little difficult to accept for a while, "Isn't it too small?" ”

"Speaking of which, it's not too small, and next year will be ten years old, and if you wait a few more years, won't it be fine?" Wang Ziteng shook his head.

"Second brother, then you can wait for another two years,......" Jia Zheng was still a little hesitant, feeling that Feng Ziying just caught up for a while, and he was just lucky, whether he could read the book or not, he was not optimistic, he had read books for so many years, and he knew that this reading and scientific examination was not such a simple thing.

"Wait two years? Wait two years, if Feng Ziying is admitted to the exam, what should I do? Does Cun Zhou think he will still accept this family affair? Wang Ziteng laughed: "If my sister's concubine is about the same, forget it, you should think about it first, and you are not in a hurry at this time." ”
