Chapter 2 Jia Guifei
"Young Master, the Imperial Concubine also brought the imperial edict."
Jia Quan stood firmly.
"Is the imperial edict? Is it for me?" Jia Sidao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the imperial edict, and then he seemed to remember that the huge mansion seemed to be the only one with his servants and maids.
"Then let's take a look."
Looking at Jia Sidao, who was walking fast and leaving with a word, Jia Quan stretched out his hand in a daze: "Oh, young master... I want to take a shower and change my clothes after receiving the imperial edict."
The gentle words of resentment drift away with the spring breeze.
...
After a cup of tea, outside the Jia Mansion.
Jia Sidao and Dong Songchen who came to pass the imperial edict were talking happily, but inadvertently, he stuffed a heavy etiquette into Dong Songchen's arms.
At the same time, the Jia Mansion was in the main hall, and Concubine Jia, who was sitting upright in the head, frowned slightly.
"Jia Quan'er, how are Erlang's injuries these days? Then... amnesia... has it improved?"
"Reply to the Empress, the young master's injury has healed very quickly. You can go out of the room to feed the fish two days ago. But... the doctor said that the young master's amnesia is probably..."
"Don't Erlang even remember this sister in this palace?" Concubine Jia was slightly stunned, her eyes turned red again. The maid next to her quickly sent a brocade handkerchief. Concubine Jia took it and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Forget it, as long as the person is fine."
Seeing Concubine Jia like this, Jia Quan quickly squeezed out two tears, but he didn't dare to answer the conversation. His son was almost killed by someone. Now he has lost his memory. No matter how he is, he is a personal servant, he can't refuse to blame.
"Have you heard the words in the imperial edict just now?"
Concubine Jia complained for a moment, and then returned to the noble and coldness that the Concubine should have, looking at Jia Quan and said lightly.
In the just-passed imperial examination for the 1980s, Zhou Tan's top scorer in high school and Meng Yintian was a member of Tian Ling for four years. Although Jia Sidao was not as good as Tanhua in high school, he was also among the top ten in the first-class Jinshi.
The imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty were generally the same as those in the Tang Dynasty, with regular subjects, systemic subjects and military subjects. The Jinshi subject was still the most important, and most of the first-class Jinshi were able to become prime ministers, so the Song people regarded the Jinshi subject as prime minister.
The Jinshi class in the Song Dynasty was divided into three grades: first-class is called Jinshi and grade; second-class is called Jinshi; third-class is given the same Jinshi. The 25-year-old Jia Sidao was exactly the first-class.
The regular subject, the establishment of subjects and the military examination are collectively called the imperial examination, and in addition to the so-called honor and integrity. Before he passed the Jinshi, Jia Sidao relied on the honor and integrity of his father Jia She to be a disciple of Tian Ling.
Jia Sidao is so vigorous that since Jia She's death, he has always treated his half-brother Jia Sidao as his little son, and naturally feels honored. Therefore, although Jia Sidao is still recovering from his injuries, he has already started to blow the pillow wind at Lizong Zhao Yun, hoping to find a good job for his younger brother who has been a member of Tian Ling for four years.
However, this time the imperial edict was not an official appointment.
In addition to rewarding a large number of rare palace medicinal herbs to nourish the body of his brother-in-law Jia Sidao, the imperial edict was mainly for the ceremony to announce the ranking of the Jinshi and the ceremony to be given to Qionglin Banquet by the current emperor Zhao Yun in Qiongyuan tonight.
As the first-class Jinshi, and also the younger brother of Concubine Jia, who was the most beloved, Lizong Zhao Yuncai specially issued an imperial edict to summon Jia Sidao to attend the Qionglin Banquet. Even Zhou Tan, the other people, did not have this honor, even if they were the top scholar in the Wuxu Chronicle, they did not have this honor.
Zhao Yun naturally has various channels to understand how Jia Sidao is doing.
"Greeting back to the queen, I have recorded all the young ones."
"If these **** dare to instigate Erlang to go to the fireworks place to look for flowers and willows, I will definitely not forgive you."
Generally speaking, within three days after the Qionglin Banquet, all the Jinshi will be awarded official positions one after another.
"Little one obeys the order!"
Concubine Jia's cold words made Jia Quan tremble and responded in a hurry with a bitter face.
Sure enough, I haven't forgotten my fault. But what kind of person is our young master? Don't you know? You can't stop someone you can't stop?
After glanced at Jia Quan, Concubine Jia continued: "I have already taken someone to take my younger brother and sister Ruoxi back to the mansion. I think Ruoxi is here, Erlang won't make you too embarrassed."
"Empress, the young Empress Xie is kind!"
Jia Quan was overjoyed and was moved to tears.
Well, the lady is coming back. Although the lady has always been like a passerby with the young master, and has never been good to him, and even if he doesn't do it well, having a wife in front of him is always stronger than the young master's anger that he faces directly.
If you really can't stop the young master, the blame is not for yourself, right?
...
Looking at Dong Songchen who was sitting in a sedan chair, Jia Sidao smiled faintly, shook his head and turned back home.
The reason why the King of Hell is easy to mess with little ghosts is common in any era. This is just like "I would rather mess with gentlemen than villains." He has experienced countless experiences in later generations and knows this truth more than anyone else, not to mention that Dong Songchen is still a big ghost who is bigger than the little ghost.
These days, he was recovering from the mansion and did not go out, but he also used the name of amnesia to get a lot of useful information from the stupid Jia Quan. Of course, except for himself, most of the information was related to the gossip that Jia Quan heard.
For example, I have already gotten married, but on the day of the marriage, I went out to drink flower wine with a group of so-called friends and even disappeared in the bridal chamber, which directly led to the fact that the lady who had never met before lived in her father-in-law's house most of the time during the marriage; for example, I don't seem to be very familiar with my father-in-law;
For example, the eunuch who had just been sent away was one of the two eunuchs that his cheap brother-in-law, Lizong Zhao Yun, trusted the most.
Although I have a cheap sister who is a concubine and is extremely favored, the profession of eunuchs, especially those who are capable of saying a few words in the emperor's ears, are there any good people who are good at each other? It is best to maintain a good relationship. After all, no matter how popular my sister is, I am afraid she will not be able to stand the slander of villains.
Not to mention that there is an empress dowager on Zhao Yun. I heard that when the empress dowager was still alive, she always liked Empress Xie more. If it weren't for the empress dowager, then her cheap sister shouldn't be Concubine Jia but Empress Jia.
Although Queen Mother Yang is no longer here, isn’t Queen Xie still there?
On the other side.
Dong Songchen, sitting in the sedan chair, took out the heavy etiquette in his arms, weighed it in his hand, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Hehe, this Jia Erlang has lost his memory, but he has changed his personal life, but he is much better than before. It's just not to forget the knowledge in his mind, this Qionglin banquet... forgot... for... for..."
In the end, the words were inaudible.
...
When I returned to the lobby, I saw Jia Quan outside the door.
Jia Quan saw Jia Sidao's eyes lit up, and he took a few steps closer and was about to speak.
"But Erlang is back?"
Concubine Jia, who was sitting in the lobby, was extremely smart in his ears and eyes, but he spoke first.
Hearing Concubine Jia's words, Jia Sidao glanced at Jia Quan who was eager to speak but stopped and stepped into the lobby.
"My minister Jia Sidao pays homage to the concubine, the empress, the queen is a thousand years old."
Looking at his younger brother who bowed to the ground, Concubine Jia was stunned. After a while, she came to her senses, and her red lips trembled slightly: "Let's retreat, I have something to say to Yu Erlang."
"I'll leave."
More than a dozen palace maids who served Concubine Jia retreated one after another.
After everyone was out, Concubine Jia hurriedly stood up and helped Jia Sidao up, choked and said, "Erlang, are you... you and your sister apart like this?"
Even from the perspective of Jia Sidao having seen countless beauties in later generations, his cheap sister is a top-notch. No wonder Zhao Yun pampers her so much.
But she was obviously much thinner than when she opened her eyes and first met her. Although it was Jia Sidao who was smashed into the lake, Concubine Jia seemed to be more exhausted than Jia Sidao herself.
No matter how Concubine Jia is in the palace, at least she is really sincere to Jia Sidao, her half-brother, and even dotes on her a little too much.
Feeling the warm current in his heart, Jia Sidao was a little uncomfortable for some reason, a little expectant, but more afraid of this feeling. In the past decades, he has been busy endlessly, and when his son wants to raise him, his relatives are not here.
This is his greatest regret.
Even to the beloved woman, it seems that they have rarely experienced the so-called love except for the things they have developed from working together for many years, which should be called habits. As for the most precious family affection, they are even more afraid to touch in his memory.
This is a feeling I have never felt before, but decades of ups and downs have told him that when a person is in a mess, there will inevitably be some deviations in his judgment of things, which is contrary to the calmness he has always adhered to. What's more, how many years have he not experienced the feeling of panic?
Gently breaking away from Concubine Jia's movement of catching his arms to cover up his unnatural and the fear that had never happened before. Jia Sidao turned around and walked towards the seat on the left, and whispered as he walked: "As a Concubine, there are too many idle people around him. I should be careful in front of others."
Concubine Jia, who was originally heartbroken because of Jia Sidao's movement of breaking away from his palm, heard Jia Sidao's words and his beautiful eyes instantly shone brightly.
Erlang not only called himself elder sister, but also obediently meant it was just for himself. However, after Erlang recovered from illness, he seemed to have changed a lot. Such words were impossible to say in the past, and he seemed to be afraid of something.
However, this thought only flashed through Concubine Jia's mind. For her, her younger brother's health is as close as before, and it is more important than anything else.
"Erlang is right, he listens to Erlang."
Concubine Jia was in a good mood and sat intimately beside Jia Sidao, looking at Jia Sidao, who was silent after saying a word.
Concubine Jia's doting eyes made Jia Sidao extremely uncomfortable. He knew that if he didn't speak, his cheap sister would have been watching like this. He had experienced such things when he was lying in bed to recuperate.
"Sister, tell me about this Qionglin Banquet."
He knew what Qionglin Banquet was. He was just aware of his own affairs. Now he obviously did not know much about the Four Books and Five Classics.
The imperial edict has been issued, and it is necessary to go to Qionglin Banquet tonight. For him, he will definitely not be stage frightened. Although his past experience did not make him look down on the ancients, he was not too nervous.
But since he must go, it would be better for him who has no knowledge of chanting poems and lyrics in the Four Books and Five Classics, it would be better if he could lose face.
