Jia Cong, the God of Dancing Through the Red Mansion

The four of Jia Cong arrived at the Desheng Building in the morning. At that time, the hall was already full of people. If the private room hadn’t been occupied by someone who had paid a large deposit, they would have been robbed by someone. go.

Looking out from the window, there are huge crowds of people, which is really more lively than the Lantern Festival of the Lantern Festival not long ago.

After careful identification, you will find that most of these people outside are here to join in the fun, and the real scholars have become a foil instead!

Looking away, looking at the silent face of Jiang Zhengqing opposite, Jia Cong couldn't help persuading, "Brother Jiang really doesn't need to be so preoccupied, our Majesty is a rare wise king, as long as you have the ability You are talented and learning, and you are not afraid of not getting ahead."

After getting along these days, Jia Cong also got to know this person a little bit. Although because of past reasons, he valued fame and fortune a little more, he is not a narrow-minded person.

I also learned from the information collected by Tu Sui that this person sometimes has a bottom line even when he uses some methods. After this bottom line, even if he can make several times the profit or realize his wish immediately, although he can be tempted, he still does not see it. He does it.

Because of his character, Jia Cong can associate with him with confidence, otherwise, even if he has some good feelings in his heart, if he wants to have such a friendship, he still needs to observe for a while.

"Yeah, yeah, there's no need for Brother Jiang to be so worried. With your usual articles, it's hard not to miss high school." Seeing Jia Cong's opening, Su Hua also persuaded him, "I can't be called right or wrong. Well, what a rush!"

Yang Ning rolled his eyes at him while eating dried fruit, "At least you still have some thoughts, I have no hope here, hey, I really don't want to come, if all three of you are in high school and I am the only one who fails the exam, then How shameless am I?"

"Haha, brother Yang's words are the most funny, do you still care about face?" Seeing Yang Ning's playful appearance, Jiang Zhengqing was also in the mood to joke, "Besides, you are not afraid of losing face, I am afraid that you can't bear you Those baby seedlings are real, right?"

Jia Cong and Su Hua both laughed when they said a word, and Yang Ning was caught in the heart, and scratched his cheek with his hand, looking embarrassed.

In fact, there is a reason for Jiang Zhengqing's uneasiness. It is said that he passed the examination several times when he took the examination for scholars. What made him depressed was that it was not because of his talent that he failed each time, but because the examiner He was ugly and unsightly, so he was deposed.

After experiencing such things many times, he still has the courage to continue the exam, and even comes to the capital to take the exam. It is this persistent energy that makes people have to admire.

Fortunately, with the rank of the examiners of the provincial examination government, as long as his conduct is good, they only have the right to depose him, but they can't stop him from taking the exam next time. After many times, there will always be an examiner who is wrong Judging by appearances.

But this test is different. At the feet of the emperor, if he is deposed again for such a reason, it shows the emperor's attitude towards people like him. If this is the case, he will not want to get ahead through official career in the future. Thinking about it, that's why he was extra nervous today.

Jia Cong and the others knew his thoughts well, and wanted to make persistent efforts to make him happy, but the crowd below suddenly became chaotic, and there was commotion in the place where the list was posted in the distance.

A young man ran in from outside, "Show the third master and the three masters. It's almost noon, and the official of the Ministry of Rites who posted the list has already brought the gold list to the place where the list is posted."

"Understood, you guys should be more diligent, and report to me as soon as the list of gold medals comes out."

"Yes, third master, please wait!" The boy responded, turned around and ran out again.

The result was about to come out, and the four of them crowded together in front of the window to look out, but no one was in the mood to say anything for a while.

Soon at noon, there was a commotion from Zhang Bang, someone posted the list bit by bit, and someone beside him was calling the roll, with a loud voice, so that those who were far away could not see clearly. to.

It's a pity that this place is still far away, there is noise below, and the voice of the roll call can't be heard clearly anyway.

I thought it would take some time to wait for the result, but I didn't expect that before the roll call started for a quarter of an hour, a young servant ran over and entered the room with a happy face, ignoring Jia Cong, the master, and went straight to Jiang Zhengqing. In front of him, "Congratulations to Mr. Jiang, congratulations to Mr. Jiang, No. 8 in the high school examination, the little one is here to say good news."

Jiang Zhengqing was dumbfounded at the time, Yang Ning beside him pushed him and announced the good news to him, which woke him up, crying and laughing for a while, even thinking that he was in a dream, with that boy After repeated confirmation, I dared not believe it, and directly awarded a big red envelope.

Knowing that she had lost her composure just now, Jiang Zhengqing wiped her tears and said to the three of them, "The three virtuous brothers don't know something, my brother is really happy today and I am a little confused. I think Jiang Zhengqing has a photographic memory since I was a child. I was enlightened at the age of three and six Poems and articles have become famous in the countryside when he was old.

Originally, he was also full of pride and ambition, but he didn't expect that a small scholar's fame went from seven years old to seventeen. It must be because of his pockmarked face!

After that, the government examination was held once every three years, plus Enke, and it took four more exams before he got the honor of Juren last autumn. This was because the chief examiner loved being a brother and couldn't bear to let him down. Hehe, and it was also because of this face pockmarked! "

Having said that, he has fully recovered, and he is in the mood to tease himself again, "To tell the truth, my brothers are unwilling to be ordinary, and I know that there is only one chance to try. I don't have a chance to take the exam a second time, so I'm already ready to knock the drums and shock the holy car."

Yang Ning and Su Hua were shocked by what they said. If they really hit the Dengwen Drum, there would be no way out, and even if they were lucky enough to meet Shengjia, such a rebellious person would never be seen again in the future. what future.

I couldn't help but look closely at Jiang Zhengqing's expression, and saw that he was smiling slightly, maybe it was a happy event, and the brows that were usually tightly frowned were loosened, and the pockmarks on that face were even more pleasing to the eye.

It must be a joke, right?Although Jiang Zhengqing is an old man, he usually likes to say these shocking words in front of close people.

However, Jia Cong knew that what this person said was true. If he failed the test this time, he would have no chance. Today, His Majesty Shengming, although his temper is mostly forbearing, but in his bones, he is full of vigor and resoluteness. Jiang Zhengqing was shocked by this matter. Deng Wengu, it may not be said that it is really a way to survive, but in contrast, it will be extremely difficult in the future, and even death is certain.

But if he seeks benevolence and obtains benevolence, if it is what he wants in his heart, no one else has the right to stop it!Fortunately, I tried it this time, and got a good score of No.8. I think those preparations are useless now.

The three of them had their own thoughts. Over there, Jiang Zhengqing had already knelt down facing the direction of the palace, and solemnly performed three kneeling and nine kowtowing salutes.

After he got up, several people took their seats again, and Jia Cong asked Xiaoer to bring the banquet up again, to celebrate him.

There were endless announcements of good news outside, but the food and drinks of the few people became more and more dignified. Jia Cong's heart was raised for the first time. This will try to announce the gold list, not from the front to the back or from the back to the front. Instead, the roll call starts from No.4, goes to the end, and then goes backwards and sings from No.3 to No.1.

After so long, this name should have been ranked one or two hundred, right?Jia Cong didn't think his ranking would be so low, but he couldn't believe it when he said that he could enter the top three.

Anyway, what about his age here, the 13-year-old will try the top three?Jia Cong always thought that even for his age, those examiners and the emperor would suppress him a bit.

Could it be that he guessed wrong?As for failing the exam or falling into the top three, he didn't even think about it. At this time, it is still very useful to have some internal information through a little channel!

Su Hua's ranking was ranked 290th and 290th, and this time he won a total of [-]th five...

"Haha, I'm not as courageous as Brother Jiang, and I don't have that talent, but I also thought that if I failed this time, I would simply take the Mingjing examination next time. I didn't expect that I would actually be on the list? Really an ancestor bless!"

"At Su Xiandi's age, it won't work this time, and it won't be too late to take the exam next time. The Mingjing Department is still not as good as a serious Jinshi." Jiang Zhengqing had a problem in his heart, and he was willing to enlighten others.

"Hey, why don't I know this, but my younger brother is naturally impatient with these articles on policy and theory, and after so many years, I am almost reaching the limit. I am afraid that if I continue to learn, it will only be worse than the next year. But the study of clear calculation, I myself I have loved it since I was a child, even in my heart, I actually prefer to study economics."

Everyone has their own aspirations, and this cannot be forced!

After a few words, there was another commotion outside. Before I understood what was going on, several people broke in. These people were all dressed as petty officials, and they knelt down to Jia Cong as soon as they entered, " Congratulations to the third master Jia, congratulations to the third master Jia for winning the Jinke Huiyuan!"

The person in the lead had just finished speaking, and the people behind also shouted loudly, "Congratulations to Mr. Jia for winning the Jinke Huiyuan!"

After hearing Jia Cong's surprise, he raised his eyes and looked towards the door, and found that his servant was blocked from the crowd, no matter how hard he pushed, he couldn't get in. Seeing his gaze, he nodded excitedly .

Jia Cong felt relieved knowing that someone was playing a prank to ruin his reputation. In fact, when he hadn't heard his own name just now, Jia Cong had a premonition, so he didn't panic when he saw this situation, but this "Master Jia" Why is the title so unpleasant? !

I felt awkward, but I didn't have time to worry about these things, so I asked the servant to give these people a generous reward, and finally sent them away.

But as soon as this came out, the news that Jinke Huiyuan was in Desheng Building had spread like wildfire. After a while, the people who came to greet him and see Huiyuan's demeanor almost blocked the corridor outside. It doesn't work, I don't know what will happen if I continue to stay.

The few people looked at each other and smiled, and had no choice but to shift their positions. With the help of the shop assistant, they finally got out of the crowd. I don't know how many times I was stepped on, and I was a little limping when I walked.

The jade pendant purse and other small pendants on his body are not left, and he doesn't know if they were ripped off by someone or where they fell!

The list came out, and except for Yang Ning, the four of them had to go to Jia Cong's village, and the remaining three were also busy going back to announce the good news. They said goodbye to each other at the door. Seeing the frame of Zhongshun Wangfu, it was parked next to it.

Judging from that posture, he knew that Tufu was also in the car. He turned to the car halfway and walked slowly. As soon as he got in the car, he saw Tufu frowning and staring at himself, "Who made you angry again, why are you like this?" ?” Now that Jia Cong has won Huiyuan, although he finds it troublesome, he is still a little proud of himself, so it’s hard to see that this person looks unhappy!

Tu Su snorted, didn't answer him, stretched out his hand and grabbed him to sit next to him, bent down and took off his shoes, looking at the already bruised feet, he felt even more upset, "You go down!" It’s the rarest time to come to these crowded places!”

Just as Jia Cong wanted to refute, it was really an accident this time, but Tu Fu didn't give him a chance to speak, poured some medicinal oil from the porcelain bottle into his palm, put his feet on his knees and rubbed them vigorously.

The sudden pain almost made Jia Cong yell out, and bit his lip reflexively, but physical tears still flowed out of his eyes.

Wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, he glared fiercely at the person in front of him. Tu Su was a little embarrassed by his stare, "The bruise on this foot must be rubbed away, or you will suffer!"

"You can tell me first!" Jia Cong gritted his teeth a bit.

Tu Fu was speechless again, and he couldn't directly say that he did it on purpose, so he could only change the subject and ask, "Where's the piece of warm jade I gave you last time?"

"Huh~~huh~~" Why did the young master tell you that Jia Cong turned his head to the side, not bothering to give this person a look.

It doesn't matter if you don't care, anyway, the topic has changed, and finally the bruises on both feet are rubbed away, and I put the shoes and socks on this person again.

Holding a handkerchief dipped in tea, he wiped off the medicated oil on his hands. Regardless of Jia Cong's objection, he hugged Jia Cong and sat beside him. A beautifully woven rope was pulled out, and underneath was a piece of beautiful white jade, "It's still Cong'er who is smart, this warm jade really needs to be worn close to the body to be effective!"

Jia Cong, who was angry with his rogue behavior, really wanted to throw the jade out directly, but he was a little bit reluctant when he thought that the jade was returned by himself with two paintings.

In the end, he could only snort twice, ignoring this person's thick skin, obviously he bought the warm jade with something, so why did he give it to him?

Tu Fu ignored his unkind attitude, knowing that his sweetheart wore the jade pendant he gave him next to his body, he was in a particularly good mood, rubbed it on his porcelain white neck twice, and put the jade pendant back for him personally, reluctantly Buttoned up!

After driving for a long time, Tufu saw that Jia Cong still ignored him, and occasionally looked absent-minded, knowing that he was thinking about that Huiyuan, so he said, "You don't have to be so careful, aren't you just a Huiyuan?" , can't you still do it?"

Lying halfway in Tu Su's arms, Jia Cong squinted at him with an expression of "my brother Cong is the most powerful", and couldn't help laughing again, "It's not a question of whether you can afford it or not, it's just that at your current age If you want to be a pawn, you will inevitably be questioned, and it will definitely be very troublesome."

Tu Su curled his lips disapprovingly, "I'm afraid of trouble, just ignore them, and you don't ask them for anything, what do you care so much?" I felt a little regretful, if Brother Cong was a woman, then I would Being able to keep him in the mansion so that no one can see it will save him from being irritable every day when he sees no one.

Jia Cong looked up at him with a half-smile, didn't say anything, but leaned against his arms again, half-closed his eyes, and didn't know if he was asleep or thinking about something!

……

Ten days after the announcement of the gold list of the general examination, that is, March [-]th is the period of the palace examination. The topic this time is also very interesting and unpopular. Those who use it are few, those who use it are ill, and those who use it are comfortable, then wealth will always be sufficient.”

Translated into the vernacular: "There is a general principle of wealth creation: more people produce, less people consume, create quickly and use slowly, so that the country's wealth can always be kept sufficient."

After the Qin Dynasty, except for the famous Emperor Ling of Han, who sold off his official titles and titles, the other emperors of all dynasties, no matter how greedy they were in private, were all ignorant of business and less talkative outside, as if they talked more The two words of "money" will damage their imperial dignity and lower their style.

Today's His Majesty is a rare upright gentleman. The court has no money, and he values ​​official governance, so he doesn't have so many taboos about business and how to make money, even if this behavior makes those rotten scholars fall in love with him. Many excerpts nagged him, but he didn't change his original intention.

This time the palace exam has such a question again, I guess someone will be upset again, but this time, no one will take the exam, right?After all, it comes from a sentence in "University". To say it is not good is to say that the sages are not good. From this point of view, the emperor is sometimes very treacherous!

Moreover, these two sentences should be very reasonable in the eyes of many people, right?

Jia Cong shook his head, frowned, and almost bit off the barrel of his pen. This kind of statement is too taken for granted. In his opinion, the more people produce, the more people consume; It is easier to build and use than to create, so if it is created quickly, it will be used more quickly. If this is the only way, how can the wealth of the country increase?

It can be seen that it is still necessary to master the method and method of creating wealth!

In the future, there is a saying called 'technology is the primary productive force'. Another way of saying it is that technology is the number one weapon to make money, and technology now seems to be a tool!

Organized the language, and refuted that sentence from beginning to end. Hey, it seems that this is also disrespectful to the sages. I don’t know if I can pass the test this time? !

Then I explained that in the early days, there was no plow, no farm tools, and no good seeds. The food grown by one person would never be enough for himself. In his spare time, he had to hunt, fish, and pick wild fruits. A large number of human beings died of cold and starvation.

But now, as long as the weather is good, even if the farmers have to hand over [-]% of the food grown, the food left over is still enough for the whole family...

In a short article, Jia Cong used a lot of pen and ink to describe the importance of tools to human beings, and even described some future tools in a hypothetical way, explaining that if these things can really be made by humans, What impact will it have on this society!

Finally, he focused on what it means for a professional to do professional things. His thinking is very advanced, but because the examples he cited are all famous personnel in the previous dynasty, it is impossible for people to understand.

The emperor paid the most attention to Jia Cong. After his paper was handed in, he naturally took the first place in his hand.

After reading it, the emperor felt conflicted for the first time after the examination began.

He asked such a question because he felt that the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the flamboyant and extravagant fashion is getting more and more popular everywhere. He wanted to give a warning and let them restrain themselves a little.

How could he have thought that he was abducted by Jia Cong to other places?

The first sentence was to blatantly refute the sages. Tu Rui thought he should be very angry, but how could he damn agree in his heart? !

Tangled, tangled, so tangled!

Looking at the role of those past tools in creating wealth in the article, as well as the even greater wealth that can be created by imagining future tools, Tu Rui seriously pondered whether he should put this Jia Cong in the work immediately. Ministry to go?

I was a little absorbed in thinking, and when I looked up, I happened to see the six ministers and some old guys from the Yushitai of the Imperial Academy looking at me with burning eyes.

Tu Rui's eyes flickered, Jia Cong, this little guy would cause him too much trouble, although he agreed with this paper, but it was only because he was standing in the emperor's perspective, so he was naturally different from others.

As for the following people, just a word of "disrespecting the sages" is enough for them to resist to the end.

Thinking of this, ignoring everyone's earnest gazes, he calmly folded the paper and put it in his sleeve, stood up and walked outside.

It's not time for the examinees to leave the arena, the emperor can move freely, but the adults dare not move lightly.

Tu Su didn't have such scruples either, although he really wanted to stay here with Brother Cong, but thinking about what happened to the emperor just now, it's better to go and find out.

The two brothers arrived at the main hall of Qianqing Palace one after another. Tu Rui sighed at his younger brother and handed over the paper.

After Tuli finished reading it, the emperor admired enough of his younger brother's tangled appearance, and then ordered, "This thing can't be leaked out yet, and ask him to write another copy when you go back." After thinking about it, he added He said, "Mediocre is enough!"

Tu Su responded, took the paper and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Tu Rui before reaching the door, "Give me back the paper before leaving!"

Tu Su really wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it, but Tu Rui's next words broke his luck, "If you don't give me this one, you don't have to give me the one tomorrow."

After one sentence, Tufu immediately froze, walked back slowly and returned the paper to his brother, but he was still a little unconvinced, "I'm going to write it all over again, why do you still keep this paper?"

Ignoring the younger brother, pretending to be confused, he stared at him coldly, and waved him away directly.
