The eldest son of the red mansion

"Returning to the master, although the slaves are poor in their families, after entering the palace, they are taught to read and write according to the rules, and even the best among them will be taught by Jinshi in the court. I am a little clever slave, and I followed Wang Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy has studied for several years."

Jia Ke looked at Li Deshan with admiration now, but he didn't expect that these eunuchs also had some skills.

"In this case, you choose five or six people for me, and check these test papers for me again to see if there are any mistakes."

After Li Deshan heard this, his heart kept jumping up. It seemed that the lord was going to give some power to his eunuchs.

After receiving Jia Ke's order, Li Deshan immediately left the hall, led five eunuchs, and returned to the hall where Jia Ke was working.

As soon as these people entered the hall, they immediately knelt down and saluted Jia Ke.

Jia Ke looked at them, none of them were very old, but they looked normal, and they were not crooked.

"Did you come here to know what it was for?"

"If you go back to the master, the slave and others don't know what the master has ordered."

"I heard from Li Deshan that you all have some literary talents. Next to this are some exam papers that will be tested this year. Please review them for me to see if there are any major mistakes."

After listening to Jia Ke's words, these eunuchs first kowtowed to Jia Ke again, then stood up and moved to the small desk, and then stood there, each of them picked up a paper and began to echo.

And Jia Ke was not idle, he continued to review the memorial under the service of Li Deshan.

When the lights came on at night, Jia Ke stretched her waist, and when she looked back, the eunuchs were still staring there.

"Li Deshan, you will be watching here today. You must compound all these papers today, and you will call me back tomorrow morning."

"Master, don't worry, the slaves are not going anywhere today, just staring at them."

Jia Ke nodded and understood, and then went back to the house regardless of them.

Li Deshan folded his back immediately after Jia Ke left.

And those little eunuchs who were examining the examination papers found that Jia Ke had left, immediately put down the papers and came to Li Deshan together.

"Boss, do you have anything to say?"

"You have to pay attention to today's affairs, the future of us people depends on this time."

"What does this mean, Chief Manager? The boys still don't quite understand?"

Li Deshan glanced at the little eunuch, and then said: "Idiot, isn't that obvious? The master means to test us. As long as we do well this time, there will be more and more things in the future." , that's when our men will take power."

These little eunuchs are now suddenly enlightened.

The next morning, after washing and washing in Jia Ke's mansion, after breakfast, Li Deshan came in from the outside in a hurry when he was joking with Qin Keqing, and stood beside Jia Ke respectfully.

Seeing him coming in, Jia Ke asked, "Is everything done? Are there any mistakes in the paper?"

"Returning to the master, the servants read the paper again and found nothing wrong."

Only then did Jia Ke nodded. It seemed that Zhang Chaoxin and Li Wenbin had done nothing wrong.

When Qin Keqing saw Jia Ke talking about business again, she wanted to leave.

But Jia Ke stopped her again, "How is Qin Zhong doing these days?"

Qin Keqing was a little surprised when she heard this. Jia Ke hadn't asked about Qin Zhong for a long time.

"What else can I do? If you don't focus on studying, it's useless no matter how powerful you are."

Jia Ke nodded. This Qin Zhong himself has sent someone to monitor him for a long time, and he didn't find anything unusual about him?Coupled with the reminder in Dream of the Red Chamber, it seems that the young master is not Qin Zhong, but someone else.

What Jia Ke was thinking in his heart didn't show on his face at all, but he seemed anxious after hearing Qin Keqing's words, "How can this work? Does he really want to be like Baoyu and wait to die?"

Jia Ke thought for a while, "Send Qin Zhong to the Imperial College in two days. There are only students studying there, and they live there for a long time. If he doesn't learn to look like a human being, don't think about it."

Qin Keqing nodded, and she didn't object to Jia Ke. Although Qin Keqing loved her younger brother very much, she knew that Jia Ke was doing it for Qin Zhong's good, so that he could be successful in the future by letting him suffer.

On this day, on the day when the rankings were released, there was already a huge crowd of people at the gate of the Gongyuan, and the candidates and their families were already impatiently waiting there.

It was not until the sun was three poles that the side door of the Gongyuan opened, and a man with the appearance of a fifth-rank official came out holding a roll of Huang Juan.

Seeing this situation, the subordinates below immediately understood that this was to release the rankings, so they were all excited and crowded forward.

This fifth-rank official has seen this kind of thing a lot. He waved his hands to the few yamen servants next to him, and the people next to him naturally understood.

So five or six yamen servants rushed up, holding fire sticks one by one, and kept beating these candidates, driving them back.

The middle-aged official saw that the judges retreated, so he calmly came to the wall and lifted Huang Juan high. The two yamen servants next to him naturally understood, and they came to take Huang Juan and used it The tall pole was hung on the wall next to the Gongyuan.

Then the official turned around and entered the Gongyuan.Often only a dozen or so yamen servants are left there to maintain order.

Seeing that the official had left, the examinees dared to move forward again. They stood under the imperial list one by one, carefully looking for the names on it.

So under this imperial list, all kinds of life will be revealed. Those who find their names on the imperial list are naturally ecstatic, while those who don't find their names, some hang their feet and chests, and some wail under the imperial list. .

And Dong Li, who spoke for Jia Ke in the Zhuangyuan Building that day, thought that the exam was not going well this time, so he thought that he was finally named Luosun Shan this time, and now he just came to accompany his friends to watch the exam.

Unexpectedly, I found my name on the imperial list. Although it was relatively late, it was still on the list.

This made Dong Li feel a little strange while being happy. Could it be that the test papers of the candidates in this subject are not satisfactory?Even himself can be on the list.

But before he could figure out what was going on, several of his close friends came over to congratulate him. After Dong Li returned the greetings one by one, he took these people to the Zhuangyuan Building for a drink again.

In a blink of an eye, it will be three days after the announcement of the list, and the next day is the day of the palace examination.

In the evening of this day, the emperor sat on the throne of the Qianqing Palace, thinking about how he should behave in the palace examination tomorrow, so that Jia Ke would not be suspicious, and the candidates below who would be able to take the examination would be satisfied. Scholars, know your own difficulties.

The emperor is still not giving up now, he still wants to rely on these newly won Jinshi to establish some of his own wisdom, so as to make some preparations for a comeback in the future.

Besides, Jia Ke was discussing with Zhang Chaoxin and Li Wenbin, as well as his confidant ministers, Fan Kang, Sun Yan and others, about the next day's palace examination.

"My lord, do you need to invite the emperor out of the palace to preside over the palace examination tomorrow?"

As soon as Li Wenbin finished speaking, Zhang Chaoxin looked at him in surprise, and then immediately objected: "No, the emperor has made a serious mistake, and now he is thinking about it behind closed doors in the palace. I don't need to bother him."

Jia Ke nodded now, and he also thought Zhang Chaoxin was right, but he didn't express his opinion immediately, but looked at Sun Yan.

Seeing Jia Ke's gaze, Sun Yan immediately came out of class and said, "Master Zhang is right, we are now weakening the emperor's prestige, there is no need for him to show off in the imperial examination."

Fan Kang kept nodding there. Although he hadn't spoken yet, the meaning was already very clear.

Seeing that the opinions had been unified, Jia Ke said directly: "In that case, tomorrow it will be announced to the world that the emperor is cultivating in the harem and cannot participate in the imperial examination. I will take care of it."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Fan Kang stood up and said, "My lord, if there is something wrong with you tomorrow and offends you in court, my lord, please stop your thunderous anger and don't lose your temper in the Golden Palace."

"I know this. We have just started to take power. It is inevitable that some people who are not convinced, or those who are the new emperor, say a few unpleasant words. It is understandable. This kind of thing can only pass away slowly. It cannot be suppressed all at once.”
