When Zhou Shenxing visited, Jia Huan was chatting and laughing with Baochai in the house. Jia Huan used the quiet and beautiful Xiangling as a model and drew sketches at her. Baochai was quite familiar with paintings. She was by Jia Huan's side, watching her husband paint, comment, suggest, and joke.

She had a picture of Jia Huan's sketch for her based on her own memory before marriage, which was vivid and wonderful. It was a witness to the love between the two.

Chapter 42 of the original book of the Red Mansion, Xichun wants to paint the Grand View Garden, and Baochai makes a list. Baoyu wants to help prepare the materials:

There are four first-rate pens, four second-rate pens, four third-rate pens, four large-colored pens, four medium-colored four small-colored four large-colored crab claws, ten large-scale crab claws... Two hundred lambs of green gold, four liang of wide-even glue, four liang of clean alum. The glue of alum silk is outside... One pound of willow charcoal, one three-tray wooden box, one meter of solid gauze, two liang of ginger, and half a pound of sauce.

It can be seen from this that Baochai has a deep understanding of painting. Otherwise, ordinary people would not be as clear, clear and detailed as she said.

At that time, Daiyu heard this, laughed at Baochai and said to Tanchun: He must have been confused and wrote his dowry list on it.

Tanchun said it to Baochai.

Baochai smiled and said, "No need to ask, there is still ivory in the mouth of a dog!" As she said, she walked up and pressed Daiyu on the kang, and wanted to twist her face. Daiyu smiled and hurriedly begged: "Good sister, let me spare me! Pin'er is young and only knows how to say it, but she doesn't know the importance of it. She teaches me as her sister. If she doesn't forgive me, who else should she ask?"

Baochai pressed Daiyu on the kang and wanted to twist her face. Daiyu begs for mercy. That picture..., tsk! Combining the context, this is a joke between sisters, it is the elder sister who is "teaching a lesson" of naughty and quick-mouthed sister. From Jia Huan's perspective...

At that time, Daiyu begged for mercy, Baochai let her go, smiled and said, "No wonder the old lady loves you. Everyone loves you smart. Today I also love you. Come here, I will put my hair together for you." Daiyu turned around and Baochai put it on with her hands.

Of course, that was when Baochai and Daiyu had already reconciled.

When Jia Huan was joking with his wives and concubines, the little maid outside went back and forth, saying that Zhou Shenxing was coming to look for him, so Jia Huan came out of the backyard.

He is not as slutty as Baoyu, and he has to change his clothes when he goes out. It is not rude to wear an ordinary scholar's shirt to meet guests. In the main hall, Qian Huai put on tea and quietly left.

Candles and oil lamps are lit, and the lights in the hall are bright, as bright as daytime.

Zhou Shenxing picked up the porcelain bowl, took a sip of tea, and praised: "It's indeed a good tea, so grand. Ziyu's family deserves to be a century-old clan." The luxuriousness is extraordinary. For example, this candle is lit a lot.

Jia Huan and Zhou Shenxing didn't make many friends. Zhou Shenxing also came for his wedding that day. However, he was not as close as Fan Xijue and others. He smiled and said, "What's the matter with the jade rope?"

Zhou Shenxing laughed and said, "You won't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do." As he said, he told the story of the same year in the "Yekai Shilixiang" teahouse on Qipan Street at noon. He advised: "Brother Jia is famous all over the world and is famous among women and children. You should raise your arms and shout, and we are willing to attach to the tail of the horse."

This is a high hat!

Jia Huan was unmoved and refused to say, "This matter involves my father. I am a son of man and cannot write a letter. I hope Brother Zhou, I will forgive you in the same year."

Zhou Shenxing said: "Hey... Brother Jia, the emperor's intention is not to promote the emperor, but to divert his sight and want to be a concubine. Brother Jia is a gentleman, shouldn't he write a letter to stop him?"

Jia Huan said nothing.

Zhou Shenxing said again: "Brother Jia, this is a battle between leaders in the same year. If you don't go and Weng Zhaozhen is the only one in the same year, then all people will return to Weng Zhaozhen in the same year. Your reputation will be lost." This is playing the card of profit.

Jia Huan shook his head, and let Zhou Shen walk on the tongue and glorify the lotus, but he disagreed and said, "I won't write a letter. Brother Zhou, please come back."

Zhou Shenxing turned his back and said, "Jia Huan, are you afraid? The country has been raising scholars for 150 years and the court has been in trouble. It is the time when we speak up for justice. We are in the hope of a new academic discipline, so how can we not say a word? You are so disappointing. Say goodbye!"

Zhou Shenxing shook his sleeves and left the Jia Mansion with a righteous look on his face.

Jia Huan sat down without moving, and slowly took a sip of tea.

Zhou Shenxing agreed. This is a dispute over the leaders among the new Jinshi. If he doesn't stand up, there are always people who are looking for Weng Zongdao, who is valued by Grand Secretary Liu, will be said to become the leader of the Jinshi in Yimao.

Weng Zongdao is a righteous person!

People in the same year of the current academic year will be at a disadvantage if Jia Huan wants to compete with him. However, those who have been in the officialdom and the workplace all understand that when the opportunity for promotion and position comes, their colleagues are often the biggest opponents.

However, as a son of man, he must not speak out on this matter. Even if it is not impeachment of Jia Zheng, he attacks the emperor. The state governs the world with filial piety. Filial piety is the first priority. He has never heard of his son blocking his father's rise.

The so-called destroying relatives for justice is really just a saying. If you don’t reach the high position of the court, and learning from Wang Mang to make a name for yourself is basically ruining yourself. In the eyes of outsiders, you are unfilial! Who dares to use someone who can even betray his father?

So, where to be, what to do, and what to say. This is called the butt determining thinking!

Jia Huan was sure that if he wrote a letter, it would be a stain that he would never wash away in his life. Many times, the news would be distorted during the spread, and it would not be clear to you. This is called: people's words are terrifying. At that time, others will only think that he is a villain and beast that even his father will betray him.

Zhou Shenxing is digging a hole for him! It can be imagined that this old man Zhou went to work in the Hanlin Academy tomorrow and gave Weng Zongdao another way of saying that he would give Weng Zongdao.

This person is sowing and disagreeing, and is a real villain.

…

…

On August 5, a group of new Jinshi submitted memorials at the gate of Tongzhengsi, and the atmosphere was in high spirits. When the old officials in Tongzhengsi, they saw the situation of these officials submitting memorials, they knew that they were Jinshi in the current academic qualifications.

Old fried dough sticks usually come over to deliver when they are at work. When submitting, they throw one hand away and turn around happily. The new Jinshi comes over with the memorial in both hands and put it down with a serious expression.

Jia Huan did not come, Zhou Shenxing said the process of his visit to persuade Jia Huan last night and said generously: "Jia Ziyuwang has a reputation, but unexpectedly he is a person who is competing for power and cherishes his life. We are ashamed of this person!"

Among the crowd, there was a voice of echoing.

The leaders of the scholars, Weng Zongdao and Tang Daobin, both frowned slightly. They felt that it was not good to attack Jia Huan by Zhou Shenxing. How could the gentleman say that attacking others behind the scenes? But they didn't say anything. They looked down on Jia Huan even if they didn't write to him. They still cherished their lives too much. However, Mencius said: Where the righteousness lies, even if there are thousands of people, I will go.

The scene before Tongzhengshi quickly spread throughout the capital. Jia Huan's reputation among the Shilin immediately fell. The decline was very strong.

It’s not that being able to write poetry means having good character, being a moral gentleman, and being admired by the scholars. This is really not. For example, Cai Jing, this person was a famous calligrapher at that time, but who would later generations think that he was a righteous person? He is a slander!

Jia Huan's reputation fell, and what followed was the fame of Weng Zongdao Weng Hanlin, the top scholar in the current sciences.
