Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Baoyu can be considered to understand why no one has passed the test in districts and counties once, and no one can bear it!

He endured five games with inhuman perseverance, and came back with a strange smell every day.It's not a big deal, it's not like he doesn't feel bad after being in Bao Si for a long time, he has always had a strong adaptability.But his specially made mitts were confiscated the day before on the grounds that they were "unprecedented".The scientific examination cannot leave early, and you have to wait until the end. During the period, you must put your hands on the table honestly, and the invigilator patrols back and forth.

So a certain dog that had never had chilblains had two carrot hands in just five days!Can such a hand write fancy Guange characters?Fortunately, this font was practiced by Shenying's waiter. He practiced hard all the way, and it became a habit.

Mr. Zheng intends to cultivate the other three, and ordered them to accompany the exam along the way.Jia Zhuyuan was still not convinced that he failed to pass the exam. Although he was one year younger than Baoyu, he was only a little short. Seeing Uncle Baoyu's frightening appearance, he fell silent.

Uncle Xiaobao sighed desolately: "I'm not worried that you guys won't pass the exam, but you have to survive. The court has a reason for doing this. If you are not strong enough, you will be rejected in the first round. Otherwise, how can a crooked official be able to survive?" Can you repay the emperor's favor?"

God knows whether the imperial court thought this way, anyway, Sanxiao only accepted it.For the first time, Jia Huan recognized that his second elder brother "acts with rules", secretly thinking about how to get the master to allow him to practice bow and horse, while Baoyu only practiced running and jumping tricks, and he would definitely overwhelm him!

The political lord hoped that Baoyu would pass the county exam quietly, so he didn't ask for leave to accompany the exam. He ordered his confidantes to serve him. Baoyu's servants only used Zhang Ruojin, his former chief follower.After the first scene, Baoyu's heart pounded, and Zhang Ruojin hurriedly went to an embroidery shop to find a charmer.

Zhang Ruojin was even more nervous. He didn't take care of Jia Zhu during the scientific examination, so he was so scary unexpectedly.He didn't dare to leave half a step, and asked the other followers to find someone.

The county seat is not big, so Meiren was soon arrested, bringing Tan Yun with her.

Tan Yun used to be the second-class maid in Baoyu's house. Last spring when her elder brother was drunk, the lantern fell on the firewood and caused a small fire.After investigation, not only drinking, but also a group of servants gathered to gamble, Tan Yun's father is still a banker!Mrs. Wang angrily kicked her family out.This move is only better than beating to death directly: how can a lazy servant live without money?Selling oneself again, who wants to be kicked out by the master's family?Tan Yun is 13 years old, her color is not bad, and she can guess what her mother will do with her toes.

Baoyu asked Mingyan's father to buy Tanyun quietly, but he was a step late: in order not to enter the brothel, Tanyun cut his face with a knife.Her parents still force her to be a prostitute, anyway, rough men don't pay attention.The shopkeeper, who is in charge of shopping, has a strong mouth, threatened Tan Yun with five taels of silver.When Baoyu learned about this, she felt that Tanyun could be used for her strong character, she could read some words and was good at embroidering, so she first arranged to practice in Meiren's embroidery shop in order to prepare for opening an embroidery workshop in the future.

Tan Yun ruined half of his face, with an embroidered handkerchief wrapped around his head and face.Baoyu didn't pretend to let her get rid of the embroidered handkerchief, but only said a few nonsense that color is not important.The second daughter didn't dare to let him bother her mind, so she helped him to sleep tightly.

The meticulous service of the two former maidservants made Baoyu feel at ease, and she complained in the Wucaishi space, saying that she had accidentally contracted the disease of the Red Mansion and could not trust men.Wucaishi was depressed because he was useless, and sneered: "Don't talk too much at me, Tan Yun was kicked out by my wife, and I really wonder how to explain to my wife, you are against my wife!"

Baoyu didn't take it seriously: "After I finished the exam, I dragged my body back home with a more breathless body than death. It's a big mistake."

He made good plans, but he didn't consider Jia Zheng's thoughts.The last scene coincided with the political lord taking a rest, he came to see the miserable appearance of his precious son, and immediately ordered him to recuperate in Jing County.They also have an old lady, and they are afraid that the old lady will catch fire.

The house they lived in belonged to Jia Zheng's uncle's house, and no one would go to the Rong Mansion to inform them.You said there is a habitual informer Jia Huan children's shoes?Hey, he is only eight years old, and he didn't bring any servants with him, so what ability can he go to Rongfu to report?Besides, what good would it do him to tell the truth, it would only annoy his old man.

Living in this way for two, waiting for the fake stone to raise red lips and white teeth, the county examination list.

Jiajia Baoyu is on the list, but in the lower position.It can be seen that it is not easy to cheat when competing with authentic ancient students. You must know that some candidates have white beards and have read the Four Books and Five Classics for a lifetime.

Mr. Zheng only thinks of himself as a good man, with a straight face like a spring breeze, he rewards all the servants, especially the two loyal servants, and now they have money to invest in the embroidery workshop.

Baoyu's chilblains were quite serious, although they were not festered, they were not completely healed when they returned home.

Mrs. Wang was distressed, and Baoyu took the opportunity to report Tan Yun's affairs, claiming that it was a charming man's nostalgia for old love. Seeing Tan Yun's disfigurement, he brought her back to her home.Women value appearance, and Mrs. Wang sighed, "It's a pity", but she didn't pursue it.

Jia's mother didn't pay much attention to the scientific examination, and scolded Jia's second son again, but it didn't affect the good mood of the banquet.

Baoyu was not happy, saying that the Xiaoxiao County Examination was nothing, and that the government examination would arrive soon, so he had to concentrate on studying the class and so on.But his opinion was unanimously ignored. Jia Zheng felt that it was impossible to pass the government examination with his son's grades.

Baoyu was sadly reminded, and many colleagues in Humanities laughed at the Jia family for having a boy who was born with a title of jade.After entering the red building, you will know that not only Jia's family, but also Shixun's family, who started from military exploits, know how to keep a low profile.The royal family's "magnanimity" is too lazy to avoid it. The country has been established for a hundred years, and there are so many talents, just throw it aside and let it dry.

But Baoyu didn't dare to count too much on the power of the royal family. If he were to be the boss, a group of moths would be so extravagant that they would definitely vomit blood! Instead of being ruined by you, MD is better to enrich the national treasury. There is no need to find excuses, and there are many crimes, just copy it according to the law.

The ten-year-old boy couldn't stop him from throwing a big feast, and he had to put on a bright smiling face to entertain him.

It is rare to meet Jia Qiang during the dinner, and Qiang's nephew abandons the past to congratulate him again and again, and also tells "Uncle Rui" that he has not died again and fell ill.Baoyu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this kid is still on the road of obscenity, and must kill himself?So he ran to Jia Dairu in a hurry to inquire about the details.

The Confucian school is ashamed of the old face——Baoyu's high opinion that "the county examination is an examination of the body" has spread. The school is deeply ashamed that its knowledge is not as good as that of a schoolboy, and it tells Jia Rui that he suffers from frostbite. He has a fever after a day of examination. That's right, he sent his grandson to his mother's uncle's house to practice bow and horse, so he couldn't come to the banquet.

Gossip aside.The Rong Mansion held a water feast for three days, Baoyu rested for another day because of dizziness, and finally went to the family school again.

Jia's private school had a new look, because the Confucian school was really old, and after sending away his grandson, he appointed Jin Rong as his assistant: this son's surname was Jin, not Jia, and he was determined to do business, so he couldn't steal his job.

Uncle Jin can manage people if he can't study well, he sticks to the rules of the students to stay in class and chant scriptures, and it is strictly forbidden to play dice for gambling.

In a blink of an eye, it's time for the government examination. After passing the government examination, you can be called "Tongsheng".

The test site is at the Shuntianfu Academy, and candidates are still sitting in rows.According to the efficiency of the government's dilatory efforts, I am afraid that the test shed will not be repaired until winter, and then the snow will collapse again, and then I will ask the imperial court to allocate money...

The weather in April is neither cold nor hot, not as bad as the county exam, but the smell of the exam room is even stronger.Fake stones have been countermeasures, torn off a small piece of clothes, stuffed into two balls into the nostrils, no matter whether you are a La Baba or a boo boo, you can't smell it!

The government examination only takes three sessions, that is, three days, the difficulty is greatly increased, and there are stereotyped essays.Baoyu had already obtained the test questions provided by Wucaishi, so he just had to write them on paper.He didn't dare to hide his clumsiness because of the high grades in the county examination, and he didn't even dare to type out the drafts. The amount of questions is huge. It's not that he only needs to grind a stereotyped essay for the whole session. It's a preferential treatment for the palace examination. It is not bad to write stereotyped essays.

Of course, Tong Sheng's stereotyped essays are not very demanding, and the questions are balanced and stable, so don't use the wrong code.Baoyu's prose has a bit of literary talent, and as a result, the ranking has been greatly improved, ranking No. 16 on the list!

On the day when the rankings were released, the Rong Mansion's firecrackers were set off so loudly that it seemed that there was a champion.However, ten-year-old students can indeed brag. There are eleven or twelve-year-old scholars in the scholarly family, and there will be a hospital examination in July next year. The Jia family may not be unable to produce an 11-year-old scholar!

The family of Zhu Shixun is related to Rong, and the grandsons of Zhen Guogong, Li Guogong, Qi Guogong, Zhiguogong, Xiuguogong, and Shanguogong who are of the same generation as Jia Zheng gather together in Rongfu. , plus Ning Guogong’s great-grandson Jia Zhen, the eighth prince will be together later!Another son of Uncle Hou came here one after another, and the four kings with different surnames also sent people to congratulate him. It was like Qin Keqing's luxurious funeral in the original book.

Baoyu was miserable, and found that he still had nothing to say at home!

That night, a certain one got into the colorful stone space and angrily announced that he was going to write a book.

The five-colored stone immediately chanted: "Sorrow! The halberds are coming, Yan He is in the middle, and the building suddenly tilts..."

A certain one covered his ears: "Forget it, fake fathers like this kind of parallel prose will like it. Madam and old lady definitely don't know what to say. Why not just copy Qin Keqing's dying words!"

Wucaishi was displeased: "My fault, her 'tree fell down and the monkeys scattered', 'Yu Rongshi planned the future world's karma' can be deafening? Liubudinghefu thought you were confused and bewitched , ask Ma Daopo to exorcise evil spirits!"

Baoyu said timidly: "I understand! No one likes to listen to the crow's words, let alone those people, they don't want to listen to them when they are about to die! MD thought it would be better to have a fake father, but a child made him go crazy with joy!"

Wucaishi hummed: "Qin Keqing's set won't work. What kind of sacrificial land should I buy? It's the public land of the family. The Ningrong and Rong families give some money to the poor clansmen during the festivals. They want the clansmen to pamper them. How can they buy the sacrificial land?" Willing to pay?"

With a flash of inspiration, Baoyu hurriedly changed clothes and rushed to Mrs. Wang's place.

There are many trivial matters in setting up the banquet, and Mrs. Wang just lay down.A certain one went straight into the bedroom, held her down and refused to let her get up, and said with a croak, the core meaning is just like a housekeeper needs people, and an official needs contacts, he carefully observes the congratulatory guests, and those people cannot be his help.

Mrs. Wang naturally understands what "four kings and eight princes", the second generation of the kings of the four counties became idle kings, and after the eight princes, all have no power until now.Some of Hou Bo's sons still have power, but in the circles of civil servants and military officials, unless they are as powerful as her second brother, Wang Ziteng will definitely become an official when Baoyu becomes an official.Immediately, the eye circles were red: "It's hard for me!"

Baoyu waved his hand: "The road is made by people! Er Silin, the help is in the family school. If someone can become an official, they will watch out for each other. It doesn't matter if there is no one. Our family school has no fixed supply so far. If we buy land for constant supply, we will help In the name of learning..."

Mrs. Wang's heart fluttered. Rongfu Gong Zhongyin was very interested in helping Hua, so she interrupted: "Yes, yes, it's just that such a big matter needs your uncle's nod. And your big brother Zhen, he is the head of the clan, and the matter involves the family school." ..."

Baoyuxin said that it was absolutely impossible for the two to disturb each other, and shook his head heavily: "What does it matter if you come from the public house? My son will add one piece to the gifts from the guests, and there will be [-] yuan if you don't have [-] Liang, right? It's not worth much to buy land in the capital. What if it is in the Jinling ancestral tomb?"

Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up, and she quickly figured it out: Jia's ancestral tomb is the real ancestral tomb, and the two princes thought it was the shadow of the ancestral tomb and their descendants, so they didn't move the land.It is said to be in Jinling, but in fact it is in the countryside of Jiangning County, which is very remote, and it is cheaper to buy property nearby.As for the congratulatory gift, the expense of holding a banquet for Baoyu is paid by the public, and the guests are also congratulating Cheng Tongsheng, the "Second Master Bao of Rongfu".But what does it matter to her?It's so grand to buy a school field with gift money. The old lady said that the big house didn't like it and could only accept it, but she would definitely ask Jia Lian to buy it.The second room has nothing to object to. My lord is in an official position and doesn't care about common affairs. The elder lord can't do it. When the money is in his hands, he can buy antiques and take concubines in a blink of an eye. Jia Lian is the only one who can go to Jinling to do this. That fellow is very dark.

Baoyu looked at his face and asked, "Madam, do you think it's wrong for Lian's second brother to buy the land?"

Mrs. Wang nodded confusedly.Baoyu laughed and said, "No defense! Just as I was going to tell my wife, all the congratulators are talking about 'enrolling in school on the 11th'. My wife, please think about why you want to enter the official school? How many scholars are only in the official school for a name, and the teachers are worshiped separately." The most important thing to enter the official school is to make connections. What kind of connections can you make at the age of 14? People treat you poorly. I want to be like my elder brother, and I will go to school at the age of [-]. People say that I read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. My son went to Jinling ..."

Mrs. Wang interrupted: "No! Chewing nonsense, how old are you!"

The author has something to say: What the hell!I quit!
