Rong Guofu's current position in the honor circle is actually quite embarrassing.
In the past two years, with the rise of Jia Huan, the status of the Jia family has also improved a lot.
But the problem is that it is the Ningguo Mansion that has improved its status, while the status of their Rongguo Mansion has not improved, but has actually declined.
After all, the virtuous concubine from their Rongguo Mansion has been neglected recently, and the Rongguo Mansion will naturally be disliked as well.
Therefore, Jia Baoyu may not be able to marry another young lady of the same family.
Now it seems that Xue Baochai is doing well.
So even though Jia Mu was not happy, she finally settled on Xue Baochai.
After returning to Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu called Wang Xifeng and then ordered:
"Girl Feng, now that Baoyu has not passed the Imperial Examination, I am thinking that he is now old enough and it is time to find a marriage for him. What do you think of that girl from the Xue family?"
Hearing this, how could Wang Xifeng not guess Jia Mu's intention?
She hurriedly said: "Bao Yatou is naturally very good. Not only is she good-looking and well-behaved, but she is also considerate and considerate. No one can find fault with her and no one cannot praise her."
"It would be great to tell her to Baoyu. Could it be that our ancestors wanted to bring them together?"
Hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Jia Mu became even more happy.
She couldn't help but said: "Since you also think that girl is good, then just go to Xue's house to find out what they have to say. If it works, our family will send a matchmaker to come to propose marriage."
Hearing Jia Mu's words, Wang Xifeng said happily: "How dare you disobey our ancestors' orders? Our ancestors just asked us to do it. This matter will definitely be accomplished, and it will all be taken care of by me."
Wang Xifeng naturally knew the Xue family's intention to come to Beijing, and they had the intention of marrying Xue Baochai into the Jia family.
This matter can be settled as soon as it is said.
In fact, Wang Xifeng didn't like Xue Baochai. She didn't want Xue Baochai to marry in at all. She would rather Lin Daiyu married in, which would be more in line with her wishes.
Because Xue Baochai was so powerful, so powerful that even Wang Xifeng was afraid.
Now that Mrs. Wang is alone in the second room, she is so pressed that she cannot lift her head.
If Xue Baochai remarries, their future as a big family will be lost even more.
On the other hand, it would be better if Lin Daiyu, a delicate beauty who would fall over at the slightest breeze, came in.
But this matter was not something she could decide.
Since Jia Mu had spoken, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to agree.
After going back to clean up, Wang Xifeng got on the four-wheeled carriage and came to Xue's house.
Wang Xifeng did not buy this four-wheeled carriage herself. She was reluctant to buy such a car.
When Jia Huan sent the four-wheeled carriage to Rongguo Mansion, he never gave it to Wang Xifeng.
This car was bought by the Rongguo Mansion for the sake of the dignity of the Rongguo Mansion.
Not long after, Wang Xifeng came to Xue Mansion.
When she heard that Wang Xifeng was coming, Aunt Xue quickly ordered someone to welcome her in.
When the maid served tea, Aunt Xue couldn't help but smile and said: "Girl Feng, I know you are a busy person, why do you have time to come to Auntie today?"
Wang Xifeng couldn't help but said: "Look at what my aunt said, can't I come to visit my aunt if I have nothing to do?"
After the two chatted about family matters for a while, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but said: "I came to my aunt's house today to congratulate her. My aunt will definitely be happy to hear this happy event."
Aunt Xue asked with a smile: "Feng girl, I wonder where the joy comes from?"
Wang Xifeng said: "Auntie, Bao Yatou and Bao Yu grew up together, and they can be said to be childhood sweethearts. One of them has jade, and the other has a gold hairpin. It can be said that they are a perfect match made in heaven."
"Now that these two have reached the age where a man is married and a woman is married, it would be a great thing to bring them together. I wonder what my aunt thinks? But if it happens, this matchmaking ceremony will be discontinued. Indispensable.”
After hearing this, Aunt Xue couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Their family originally intended to marry Xue Baochai into the Jia family.
In this way, with the power of the Jia family, they can preserve their Xue family's property.
It's just that a few days ago, because Rongguo Mansion had gained power, it was impossible to marry them.
Aunt Xue was so angry that she moved out of Jia's house and was busy looking for Xue Baochai's in-laws.
Xue Baochai had been delayed for the past two years because of Jia Baoyu. Not to mention an old girl, she was at least a grown up girl. For a while, it was not easy to find her husband's family.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Jia family changed their minds and proposed marriage to them?
How can this not make Aunt Xue elated and full of joy?
Aunt Xue wanted to agree immediately, but after thinking about it for a moment, she said: "Girl Feng, I have watched Baoyu grow up, so naturally they are excellent, and they are a good match for Baoyu."
"But now you also know the situation of my Xue family. Your uncle is gone, and I can't make the decision on such a big matter by myself."
"How about I give you an answer after I discuss it with Pan'er? I don't think Pan'er will object, but I still need to go through such a formality."
Wang Xifeng couldn't help curling her lips after hearing this, but it was hard to say anything more.
After all, what Aunt Xue said was right.
Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but smile and said: "In that case, I will go back and wait for the good news about my aunt."
The two chatted and joked for a while. Wang Xifeng had dinner at Xue's house before returning, and then reported to Jia's mother.
Let's say that after Jia Baoyu heard Jia Mu's words, he couldn't help but be elated.
When I turned around, I burned all the Four Books and Five Classics, and then rushed to the Grand View Garden impatiently.
Now the sisters all live in the Grand View Garden, even Sister Bao lives there.
If you want to play with your sisters, you must go to the Grand View Garden.
Because these sisters would never come to Rongguo Mansion.
Lin Daiyu will naturally not come, and Xue Baochai doesn't come often.
The same is true for Xichun, after all, she is the young lady of Ningguo Mansion.
Jia Huan hates Rongguo Mansion, so she naturally knows who to get close to, so she will go to Rongguo Mansion less often.
Only Tanchun still went to Rongguo Mansion from time to time, but mostly to Aunt Zhao. He also visited Jia Mu by the way, and the number of visits to Mrs. Wang gradually became less and less.
After all, Aunt Zhao is now a serious wife, so Tanchun naturally no longer needs to look at Mrs. Wang's face to act.
And because of this incident, Aunt Zhao became more and more pleased with Tanchun. Recently, the relationship between mother and daughter has become much better.
And Jia Baoyu would not go to Aunt Zhao, and it would be difficult for her to meet Tanchun.
And what he wanted to see was naturally not Tanchun.
Therefore, if you want to play with the sisters, you must go to the Grand View Garden.
Jia Baoyu walked excitedly towards the Grand View Garden.
Unexpectedly, I was stopped at the door.
"Second Master Bao, please stay. All the people living in the Grand View Garden are female relatives, and outsiders are not allowed in."
After being stopped, Jia Baoyu said angrily: "Why can Huan Laosan get in but I can't? Is it possible that Huan Laosan is not a man?"
The Mohist disciple who stopped Jia Baoyu said with a straight face: "Who are you, and you can be compared with the Marquis? The entire Grand View Garden was built with the funds of the Third Master."
What?
I can't be compared with Huan Laosan?
Jia Baoyu was so angry that he became furious.
But looking at the Mohist disciples in front of him who didn't take him seriously at all, Jia Baoyu was frightened again.
He couldn't help but take out the jade from his neck and was about to throw the jade on the spot.
But when he saw that the hateful handyman in front of him was not afraid at all, and even had a look of contempt on his face, he immediately realized that the jade-throwing technique would not work here.
Jia Baoyu had no choice but to put away the jade and leave angrily.
Soon, Jia Baoyu came to Rongqing Hall to complain to Jia's mother.
"Old Ancestor, I just went to the Grand View Garden, and I didn't expect to be stopped outside the door. The guard guard said that there are women's families living inside, and foreign men can't enter. Why can the bad old man get in, but I can't?"
Hearing Jia Baoyu's words, Jia Mu couldn't help curling her lips.
I didn’t want to mention you. Even I went there in person that day and was blocked from the door, let alone you.
It's just that you can't say these words without lowering your status.
Mother Jia couldn't help but said: "Baoyu, what brother Huan said makes sense. Now that you sisters are all grown up, you really can't go out much, and you don't have to let outsiders gossip."
"Brother Huan rarely goes to the Grand View Garden now when he has nothing to do. If you want to play with the sisters, why not hold a banquet to entertain the sisters? If so, I think they will definitely come over."
Jia Baoyu never expected that Jia's mother could say such words.
This also made him helpless, and he had no choice but to adopt Jia Mu's suggestion.
By the way, I will make a host tomorrow and invite the sisters to join us for a banquet.
At that time, I will personally ask this sister Lin what she thinks?
It is impossible to say that she was deceived by Huan Laosan. If she changes her mind, she might as well return to her ancestors and let them make the decision for me.
…
Let's say that this day happened to be the first half-month assessment period of the Red Flame Army.
Next, under the auspices of Jia Huan, the Red Flame Army conducted its first assessment.
The main content of this assessment is physical fitness assessment, which is divided into three items.
The first event is five kilometers, the second event is push-ups, and the third event is sit-ups.
For this assessment, Jia Huan set a passing line.
Anyone who fails to meet the standards will be eliminated from the Red Flame Army.
The last hundred will be directly used as gang leaders in the next half month.
The top one hundred will serve as leaders in the army in the next half month.
In the next year, assessments will be conducted every half month.
After one year, a comprehensive evaluation will be conducted based on the usual assessment results.
The final quota will be determined at that time.
After listening to the content and reward system of this assessment, all the 10,000 recruits secretly made up their minds to get among the top 3,011 this time.
Yes, as long as you can get into the top 30110, you can become a small boss.
Even though the entire Red Flame Army only has a total of more than 10,000 people, there are quite a lot of spare bosses.
First of all, there are ten vacancies for captains of thousands, one hundred captains of centurions, one thousand captains, and two thousand captains of corps.
All added together, there are a total of 3,011 vacancies, accounting for almost one-third of the entire Red Flame Army.
Therefore, the chance that each recruit can become a mini-boss is still very high, and each person has almost a one-third chance.
It turns out that what General Jia originally promised was true. In the Red Flame Army, all military positions are obtained regardless of one's origin or life experience, and can only be obtained by one's own ability.
If you can't get it again, you can only blame yourself for not having the ability, and you can no longer blame other parties.
And the ones they sympathized with the most were the twelve noble disciples.
In their view, the passing line set by the general was actually prepared for them.
Apart from them, the 10,000 new recruits, whose grades are all above the passing mark, will not be cleared out.
Only the twelve noble disciples could not reach the passing mark set by the general.
Of course, in fact, the passing line set by the general is really not high for the Red Flame Army.
But those twelve nobles may be expelled from the Red Flame Army today.
Faintly, the 10,000 recruits actually felt sympathy for these twelve noble disciples.
These twelve people have quite a bit of backbone.
Although they were pulled last every time and couldn't keep up with everyone's progress, they never gave up.
Their efforts and persistence have also won the respect of most people.
Soon, under the auspices of Jia Huan, the first assessment of the Red Flame Army officially began.
After a morning of assessment, everyone's ranking was finally determined.
The first is the top ten, each of whom will serve as a captain of thousands and lead a team of thousands.
From now on, the entire Red Flame Army will no longer train together.
If ten thousand people train together, the training will become chaotic and the effect will be unsatisfactory.
Future training will be conducted by each of the ten thousand-man teams.
The future assessment will also be a competition between ten thousand-man teams.
Jia Huan looked at the names of the recruits who took the top three this time, Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu...
Well, these names are indeed the most typical and representative names of the ancients.
There are more than a dozen people named Zhang San in the army, and there are also several named Li Si and Wang Wu.
Well, it doesn't matter for now.
However, if there are several Zhangs, Lis, Four Kings and Fives who appear, then some of them will have to change their names.
Next comes the appointment of centurions, captains and captains.
Then divide the 10,000 people into ten teams of 1,000 people.
When allocating, Jia Huan also tried to balance the strengths of the ten thousand-man teams as much as possible.
This will make the competition more intense in the future, allowing all ten thousand-man teams to roll up.
And the last hundred will become the gang leaders in the next half month.
Fortunately, these quotas are not fixed.
They still have the opportunity to be promoted. As long as their ranking is not among the last 100 in the next assessment, they can still be promoted to soldiers.
And the last thing Jia Huan dealt with were the twelve noble sons.
Unsurprisingly, none of these twelve people reached the passing mark set by Jia Huan.
When Jia Huan walked up to them, all twelve of them had extremely pale faces.
Because they all know that they have probably missed the most important opportunity to turn around in their lives.
They will never encounter such an opportunity again in their lifetime.
Just listen to Jia Huan say slowly: "Your assessment results are not up to standard, therefore, you will be expelled from the Red Flame Army." (End of Chapter)
