The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian did not expect that he would face the problem of becoming a child out of school after only one year of study. Hearing that Mrs. Zhang was thinking about finding a new teacher for him, he expressed various surprises, "Mother, I am not Hezhu now. Do you want to study with Mr. Li? Why do you want to find a new Mr.?"

"It's time to take the imperial examination again. Although Mr. Li is good, he still needs to concentrate on preparing for the exam. I don't think about these problems now. Should I wait until the master can no longer teach you?" Zhang said softly. , "These things that can be expected need to be prepared early, so as not to be in a hurry when things happen in front of you, isn't it beautiful."

After so many years of study, Jia Lian still has a certain understanding of the imperial examinations he will take in the future, and couldn't help asking, "It's just that since Mr. Li is already a juren, naturally he only needs to take part in the Chunwei. It's not even Qiuwei yet!"

Mrs. Zhang smiled slightly, "Even so, doesn't Mr. Li need to review his homework? Chunwei is extremely important to Mr. Li, and he must start reviewing early. As a student, you must respect the teacher and not because of For my own sake, I have hindered my husband's major affairs, not to mention that Mr. Li has gained something in Chunwei, which is also a good thing."

"I see, mother." Jia Lian obediently agreed, "Is it just Big Brother Zhu?" The reason why he asked this was not because he cared about Jia Zhu, but because he was studying with Jia Zhu. If he didn't ask anything, it might seem a bit obvious A little cold, it doesn't fit his image of a good boy all the time.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhang didn't feel dissatisfied with his words. Instead, she smiled and said, "Naturally, your second uncle and grandparents have to worry about Zhu'er's study. As an eldest aunt, I can't help him do it." It's up to you." Of course, a reminder can be done, but she's been a little busy recently, so let's forget about it for the time being and wait until I'm free.

Jia Lian nodded knowingly. It seems that he will not necessarily study with Jia Zhu in the future. Over there, Wang Shi and Yuan Chun look at him very unkindly every time. As for Shi Shi, I'm afraid it's hard for him to like himself who is always pressing his beloved grandson.

Mr. Li's participation in the examination is not a big event in the Jia family, but the whole family is still busy now, and there is only one reason for the busyness. Jia Zheng is also going to take the scientific examination.

Because Jia Daishan has a place in the supervisor, Jia Zheng can be regarded as a student of the Imperial College, but he doesn't get along well with others, so the number of times he goes is very small, but no matter what, he can still take advantage of this status to directly participate in the provincial examination.

Previously, Jia Daishan sent him back to Jinling to take part in the Tongsheng Examination for his son's consideration, in order to get the title of a scholar, and to study in the Imperial College, he would be more imposing.

It's a pity that Jia Zheng has been losing all the time, and he is still in vain so far.In order to comfort Jia Daishan, Shi could only say that Jia Zheng did not adapt to the environment in Jinling, and it was difficult to obtain a real level of examination there. Jia Daishan also felt that this might be the case. .

Now, the whole mansion started to get busy with Jia Zheng's affairs. Jia Amnesty looked very unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help complaining, "After such a big battle, if you can't test anything, I don't know what to do."

Mrs. Zhang understands Jia She's thoughts, but understands even more that such words must not be said too much, especially at this time, "Master should also be a little more careful, and we can just talk about it in our room." , You can’t say it only outside, it’s not good to be heard by the master and wife, but it’s not good to be heard by the second uncle.”

Jia Amnesty thought of Jia Zheng's temperament of implicating others, and nodded, "It's true, otherwise, if he doesn't pass the exam, he doesn't know what he will arrange for us!"

It's just that even though he said so, he couldn't help worrying in his heart, what if Jia Zheng really passed the exam?At that time, wouldn't his life be even more difficult, maybe the master and wife would favor him more, and maybe the Rongguo Mansion was passed on to him directly.

Jia Lian also felt the difference in the atmosphere in Jia's mansion. Not only did the servants act very clearly, but Jia Zhu also acted very clearly. The words "father's number one scholar" were clearly written on his face. This situation made Jia Lian very strange, and couldn't help asking Zhang, "Mother, my second uncle has not yet participated in the scientific examination, why is the mansion already happy that he can win the first prize? In this way, I'm afraid..." But he It was clear that Jia Zheng would definitely fail the exam.

Mrs. Zhang put her arms around him indifferently and said, "Even my Lian'er can understand it, but most people in this mansion still can't understand it. If it's so public, it's fine if you really pass the exam. If it's something I can't get it, I'm afraid it will become a big joke, I just don't know how it will end at that time. Although the second wife made a fool of himself, but after all, the whole Rongguo Mansion was laughed at. Thinking of it, Mrs. Zhang is not very happy , but if she really said something, without using Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang would want to swallow her up."

What is this, self-inflicted can't live?After hearing Zhang's words, Jia Lian couldn't help thinking, but he wouldn't say these words. He pretended not to see Jia Zhu's happiness every day. If he had the opportunity to see Jia Zhu by his side, Any outsider will also say that "the second uncle is the best at studying, and he must be the number one scholar".People in Jia's mansion were willing to believe rumors that children's words could be said very accurately. Now, not only did he please Jia Daishan, even Wang's smile became more sincere when he saw him.

But in Dafang, Mrs. Zhang still asked everyone not to discuss this matter, lest Jia She be in a bad mood after hearing this, and do something inappropriate.

In fact, the situation in this mansion has become like this because of Jia Zheng's scientific research, and it's probably not because of Zhang's contribution to the flames.What she did was very concealed, and she just let some servants talk about it casually when chatting, and then it spread more and more.What's more, those good things ran to Shi Shi and Wang's ears and said, and soon spread like a prairie fire in the whole mansion.It's just that she didn't want to embarrass the Rongguo Mansion, but she wanted to make Jia Zheng feel pressured. Who would have thought that the situation has intensified to such an extent now.

When Jia Zheng heard this at the beginning, he felt very satisfied in his heart, and he firmly believed that he would definitely win this time. He was very happy every day, but soon, his smile could not be maintained.

Jia Lian uttered the words of his best studies, and those who were willing to flatter and flatter Jia Daishan spread such words to the outside world, and rumors spread all over the sky for a while, as if Jia Zheng was a Wenqu star descending to earth.It's just that his reading is really mediocre, and he is not shrewd in dealing with people in the world. When those people who look down on him talk about this matter, they all talk about it in a mocking tone.

In order to get closer to the scholars, Jia Zheng went to teahouses and restaurants where scholars gathered, not to mention that someone deliberately passed the news to his ears. Soon, he understood that under such rumors, How terrible it would be if he failed the exam.

Not to mention that some people deliberately taunted him in front of him, "If he really has that kind of ability, it is not the first time for Jia Cunzhou to take part in the imperial examination. , but mediocre."

"So what, even if he failed the exam, we just watched a joke. Autumn is approaching, and everyone is quite nervous. Having such a joke makes us laugh, which can be regarded as a relief."

All of a sudden, Jia Zheng began to worry about what he would do if he failed the exam. The pressure made him a little out of breath. Every time he returned home, he no longer felt happy when he heard those flattering words. Instead, he felt all kinds of irritability. Unbearable.

Mrs. Wang didn't feel it yet, but felt that as long as Jia Zheng passed the exam, the Rongguo Mansion would be their second wife's world, and they would be very happy to hear the flattery.Jia Zheng wanted to get angry, but seeing that Shi Shi and Jia Daishan were also happy to listen to good words, he could only shut his mouth and stay in the study alone to study.

As long as his mind is restless, he can't read the book. Occasionally, the writing is messy, which makes him feel unbearable.The whole family hopes that he can study hard, and the second room is even worse. Every day, Wang pulls Jia Zheng's aunts and roommates to his eyes and beats them, warning them not to show their heads. If the second master studies, he will immediately sell you far away, even if he begs me or his wife, it will be useless, remember."

Without Jia Zheng's red sleeves, he couldn't help feeling that he couldn't stay in the study room anymore. It was difficult for him to go out because of the outside situation, and it was difficult to relieve the boredom in his heart. It was a vicious circle, and he learned everything. Do not go in.

I just want to recommend myself to the second master in Rongguo Mansion. There are always a lot of pillows. People who throw themselves into the arms have already appeared.

"Second Master..." Jia Zheng, who had been ignorant of meat for a while, could not be fascinated by his delicate face, exquisite figure, and winking eyes, and he soon achieved good things.
