When others write letters to recommend anyone, they all think carefully.
He looked undecided.
Because to a large extent, most of the people who recommend and the people who are recommended will be bound.
From then on, they were regarded as political allies and were forcibly classified as one party.
But Jia Zheng's recommendation only needs to meet two conditions.
First, read well and be knowledgeable.
The feeling of being unappreciated must be strong.
It's better to be ostracized and have nowhere to display your knowledge.
Of course, the threshold for being knowledgeable is not low.
At least he is a Jinshi.
Second, they are close and have relatives.
There are not many people who are related to him and knowledgeable.
But if you don’t have knowledge, it’s hard to get it quickly, and you don’t have any relatives to recognize your relatives.
So this condition is more flexible.
The last person to agree to the conditions was Jia Yucun.
Jiayu Village was born as a second-class Jinshi, and had a letter of recommendation from Lin Ruhai.
After joining the Jia family, he became his nephew.
Therefore, Jia Zheng spared no effort to recommend him.
Now, with the Xue family's relationship, Mei Hanlin has become his god-in-law.
As a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Mei Hanlin was also a Shujishi.
It is even higher than Jia Yucun's academic qualifications.
Both conditions are met.
For the rest, Jia Zheng only has one word.
"Guarantee" is over!
Jia Yucun, whom he recommended last time, has now reached the rank of Minister of War.
In the court, he cooperated with Wang Ziteng who was on the border.
He also helped a lot for the four major families.
In Jia Zheng's view, Jia Yucun is definitely a person who repays his kindness.
Before Jia Yucun returned to Beijing, Hou Que would invite him to visit his house from time to time.
It was only later that the vacancy of Minister of the Ministry of War was filled, and due to the busy schedule of official duties, he came less frequently.
But since becoming a concubine in Yuanchun this year, Jia Yucun seems to have some free time again.
I move around a lot more frequently than before.
Who in the whole family does not recognize the uncle of Xinglong Street?
The Rong Mansion already regarded him as one of their own.
And until now, people often use the incident in Jia Yucun to flatter Jia Zheng.
They say he knows people with a keen eye.
Slowly, Jia Zheng himself believed it.
In his eyes, Mei Hanlin now is just like Jia Yucun back then.
I need my own pair of discerning eyes to help this Hanlin Academy bachelor.
If we say that Jia Zheng is a really capable person, he will go to the memorial and not say anything about something.
He also wrote a letter to Wang Ziteng who was far away in the north.
Of course, this is something for later, and Wang Ziteng has not received it yet.
At this time, the palace and the cabinet are still waiting for the follow-up of the four kings and eight princes.
But it was soon discovered that this was Jia Zheng's personal behavior.
Because after a few days, only Jia Zheng was recommended.
Obviously, it is not the ambition of the noble party.
Nor is it to win over the old party.
It is purely an extremely rare personal behavior.
Only then did Emperor Jingshun remember that he had beaten Jia Zheng the last time he was granted the title of concubine in Yuanchun, but he didn't understand at all.
This illustrates a problem very well.
That is, this person has no political consciousness and relies entirely on his own feelings.
In other words, it's probably not what he thought.
So he called Prince Zhongshun for questioning.
"Are you saying that this Jia Zheng adopted the daughter of the second wife of the Xue family as his goddaughter, so he is related to the Mei family, so he went to the insurance company?"
"The Sword Comes"
After hearing Prince Zhongshun's report, Emperor Jingshun looked like an old subway man looking at his cell phone.
Prince Zhongshun was not his usual unruly self at this time.
Instead, he smacked his lips and said with a hard-to-speak expression on his face:
"Yes, that's pretty much the information our people got."
You know, Prince Zhongshun is in charge of the Dragon Scale Guard, and few people can escape his eyes.
What kind of weirdness has he never seen?
But obviously, with his knowledge, he didn't expect anyone to be like this...
How to describe it?
He usually looks courteous and kind, much like his father's legacy.
It is by no means a frivolous thing.
Only he has no brains when doing things.
Calling him naive is just a compliment.
Emperor Jingshun still couldn't believe it, and confirmed:
"In other words, this is really Jia Zheng's own behavior and has nothing to do with Xungui's party?"
He used the word "sure enough" to show that he was 80% convinced.
I just confirmed it again out of habit.
"It seems so." Prince Zhongshun curled his lips.
Emperor Jingshun nodded, indicating that he already knew.
Then he shook his head and sighed: "At the beginning, the East Palace was still wary of Jia Cunzhou, but now it seems that it is really unnecessary."
"Haha! With his intelligence, it would be difficult for him to even become a Jinshi."
Prince Zhongshun sneered and made a mockery.
Apparently he knew this too.
Then he showed disdain, shook his head and denied himself, saying:
"No, for such a pedantic person, it's just a matter of luck that he gets elected."
Prince Zhongshun could only think of the word "pedantic" to describe what Jia Zheng did.
Because he has good intentions, not for profit.
But Emperor Jingshun obviously had a different opinion.
"When the Rongguo Mansion announced that the second son of the second wife was born with a jade in his head, that person just made some arrangements."
When Emperor Jingshun thought of Jia Zheng's performance, he looked down upon Dong Gong, who had taken action against him.
Thinking of this, he shook his head again and said:
"Now it seems that Jia Zheng is not pedantic, but stupid."
In the city of Emperor Jingshun, it was rare for people to evaluate a person in such an extreme way.
It shows how angry he was today.
"you do not say!"
Prince Zhongshun nodded in agreement. Seeing Emperor Jingshun's depressed look, he wanted to adjust the atmosphere and said:
"If the old prince knew that he was like this, he would be so angry that he would crawl out of the coffin!"
The old Duke he mentioned naturally refers to the last generation of Duke Rong.
Mrs. Shi’s husband, Jia Daishan.
When their brothers were young, they had all met this old prince.
I didn't expect that such an amazing and talented person would end up with no successor.
"Go and say hello to the cabinet."
Emperor Jingshun took a deep breath, ordered Xia Bingzhong beside him, and said:
"Just let it go and ignore it."
"Yes!" Xia Bingzhong quickly took the order and went out.
After Xia Bingzhong left, Emperor Jingshun said to Prince Zhongshun again:
"These nobles are really troublesome. You should pay more attention to them in the future."
Prince Zhongshun nodded when he heard this and said solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, everything is under control!"
In the blink of an eye, it’s August, and the third day of the lunar month is Mrs. Shi’s birthday.
Since it was not her birthday and the government was building a villa for relatives, Mrs. Shi refused to allow it.
He was told to just close the door and let his family have a drink.
Even though she said this, everyone in the house knew that she liked to be lively.
Wang Xifeng discussed with Mrs. Wang and others, and arranged for people to set up a stage in Mrs. Shi's courtyard a few days in advance.
In addition to the troupes purchased previously, two new troupes were also appointed to perform small plays, both Kun and Yi.
After the stage was set up and before the official date came, Mrs. Shi couldn't wait and invited the ladies from the house to come.
Wang Xifeng already knew her preferences, so she asked Mrs. Shi to arrange a few family banquets in her upper room.
There were no outsiders present, only Xue Mu, Baochai, Baoqin, Daiyu and Miaoyu.
In addition, Xiangyun knew the date and came here in advance.
The rest are all from the Jia family.
Mrs. Shi first asked Xue's mother to order a play.
This is hospitality.
Although Xue's mother was willing, she refused again and again, but in the end she just couldn't give in.
I ordered a play called "Journey to the West".
This is Mrs. Shi's favorite lively drama.
Next, Mrs. Shi asked Baochai to order.
Baochai asked Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and other elders to order first.
After the elders finished ordering, Mrs. Shi asked Baochai to order another play.
Really unable to push it aside, Baochai ordered "Shanmen" just like her mother.
Baoyu thought she was following Mrs. Shi's usual preferences, so she curled her lips and said:
"I have no choice but to order these plays."
Baochai didn't want to sit with her, but since she heard it, she smiled and said:
"You have been listening to the play for nothing these past few years. How did you know that this play has good pomp and words?"
Baoyu showed disbelief when he heard this and curled his lips and said:
"I've always been afraid of these lively dramas."
He must be the only one who dares to say this.
Everyone else knows Mrs. Shi's preferences, and every time she orders a show, she orders it based on the excitement.
Maybe because of this, Baoyu heard too much.
I'm tired of hearing it.
Baochai was not angry when he saw this, he just smiled and said: "If you want to say that this is a lively show, you don't even know what to do!"
Seeing Baoyu's disbelief, Baochai said again:
"This play is a set of "Red Lips at North Point", with sonorous beats and beats. Needless to say, the melody is excellent."
"There is a parasitic grass in Kuang's words. It is wonderful. How could you have known about it?"
Baoyu saw that what he said was so good, so he came closer and begged:
"Good sister, read it to me!"
Baochai saw that he was having fun over there and had nothing else to do, so he thought to himself:
"Wanting the tears of a hero, I left the virgin's home, thanked for my mercy, and was ordained under the lotus platform.
There is no predestined relationship, and we are separated in the blink of an eye.
Naked, coming and going without worries.
Where can I ask for cigarettes, raincoats, rain hats and rolls alone?
I'll just let my shoes break and my bowl change to fate! "
"Shanmen" is also called "Drunken Beating the Mountain Gate", which is a section of the Water Margin story.
It tells the story of Lu Zhishen, who after beating the bully Zheng Tu to death, took refuge in Mount Wutai and became a monk. He also smashed up the temple and the monks because of his drunkenness, and was sent away by his master, Elder Zhizhen.
Parasitic grass is the name of Qu brand.
The passage Baochai spoke of was exactly the Zen-like passage Lu Zhishen sang when he said goodbye to his master.
Baoyu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he clapped his knees and shook his head with joy.
I was praising him endlessly for a moment, and kept saying:
"Okay, okay! Sister Bao is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and she doesn't know anything about it!"
Daiyu on the side saw Baoyu making a fuss and rolled her eyes at him.
"Sister Bao is certainly well-read, but you don't have knowledge because you don't study. Why don't you watch the show quietly?"
Having said this, he curled his lips again and said disdainfully:
"You haven't even sung 'Shanmen' yet, and you've already started 'pretending to be crazy'."
Baoyu didn't dare to offend her and could only laugh when he heard this.
But I still taste the song "Parasite Grass" in my heart.
For a moment, I just felt that it suited his state of mind.
Especially the sentence "I can come and go naked without any worries".
At this time, it was Wang Xifeng's turn to order something.
A biological grandson can ignore the old lady's preferences, but naturally she, a grandson-in-law, will not.
And Wang Xifeng not only knows that Mrs. Shi likes to be lively, but also knows that she prefers things with a lot of jokes.
Then I ordered the play "Liu Er as a Clothes", and Mrs. Shi really liked it more.
It can be seen that Wang Xifeng, the granddaughter-in-law, is really a hundred times stronger than the grandson.
Suddenly, Baoqin, Daiyu, Miaoyu, Shi Xiangyun and other foreign guests all ordered.
Baoyu, Ying, Tan and Xi spring, Li Wan and other members of his family also ordered them.
Three troupes are performing.
So everyone watched the play and dispersed in the evening.
When he returned to the room, Baoyu was still immersed in the music, looking like he had lost his soul.
When the attacker saw this, he sighed: "Women and sisters all like it, why are you like this again?"
Baoyu was still crazy after hearing this, but he said:
"Whether they like it or not, does it have anything to do with me?"
As he spoke, he started singing and said:
"There is no fate, we will be separated in the blink of an eye."
The attacker was startled and frowned: "What nonsense are you saying, Master Er?"
"There's nothing silly to say. I'm just naked and have no worries when I come or go."
He was talking and singing, and when he reached this sentence, tears fell down unconsciously.
Seeing this scene, Xiren didn't dare to talk to him anymore.
Baoyu thought about the meaning of this sentence and couldn't help crying.
Crying, he turned over and stood up, went to the bedside, picked up his pen and wrote a verse:
You prove it and I prove it, my heart proves it and my mind proves it.
There is no proof, Si Keyun has it.
There is no proof, it is based on the situation.
After I finished writing, I felt that although I understood it, others might not understand it after reading it.
So he filled in another "Parasite Grass" and wrote it at the end of the stanza.
After reciting it again, I realized that there was no worries in my heart, and then I went to bed.
The next day, the official day arrived.
Feng Yibo, the grandson-in-law, also came to wish the old lady a birthday.
After he went to the back to pay his birthday, he went to the front hall to be entertained by Jia Zheng and other gentlemen.
Many of Jia Zheng's guests also arrived.
As soon as there were more people, Jia Zheng was determined to let his son show his face.
Immediately he called Baoyu and asked with a smile:
"Have you been studying recently?"
When Baoyu heard this, he fell silent immediately.
In fact, even if he says a few words casually, everyone will praise him and it will be over.
But now that he was silent, Jia Zheng felt a little embarrassed.
Knowing that Baoyu had been listening to the opera in the back house these two days, he slapped the table and cursed:
"You bastard, you just watch plays and listen to music all day long. From now on, you might as well just write plays!"
Baoyu was so frightened that he shrank his neck, but he was also reminded and said:
"What my father said is that I wrote a song yesterday and asked my father to taste it."
With that said, he went to the bookcase and wrote the Buddha's verse first.
Put another piece of paper underneath and write on the title: "Parasitic Grass·Explanation of the Verse"
There is no self and no one is you. From him there is no understanding, and you can come and go without any hindrance.
Feeling confused and sad? They all talk about how close they are? Why was I so busy in the past?
To this day, it’s really boring to think about it!
This song "Parasite Grass" was written by Baoyu after he wrote "Zhen Chan Gao".
That’s why the title is called Jie Jie.
"No self is not you", which is taken from "Zhuangzi: Equality of Things":
"Without that there is no me, and without me there is nothing."
Without it there is no me, and without me there is nothing to embody it.
"I" and "that" refer to the relationship between "I" and "Tao".
When the precious jade is borrowed and placed in a Buddhist verse, it becomes the relationship between "I" and "Zen".
Jia Zheng was stunned at this time, and he never expected that Jia Baoyu would do this.
I said I wrote a song, but I actually wrote a song.
Take another look at the content.
Okay! I also realized the meaning of Zen.
Fortunately, the song is a good one, so I didn’t delay in showing my face.
As for the rest, wait until everyone has dispersed and then settle the accounts with him.
So Jia Zheng handed it to everyone for circulation.
Because Feng Yibo was considered to be at the top among the guests, he got it first.
This is not his first time involved and he knows the process of this matter.
Just praise and that's it.
So as soon as he read the opening verse, he smiled and said:
"Brother Baoyu is really amazing. At such a young age, he has gained some of Master Shenxiu's sincerity."
