The Second Master of the Red Chamber

"Mother, my son wants to take part in the new year's childbirth test." Jia Lian said this, and Zhang naturally didn't pour cold water on him with disappointing words, but just said, "You have to know, if To take part in the children's test, you have to go back to Jinling."

Jia Lian nodded, he already knew this, and because of this, he needed to talk to Mrs Zhang earlier, "My son knows it well."

Mrs. Zhang asked curiously, "Actually, even if you don't take the Tongsheng Examination, you can rely on your Yinsheng qualifications to take the rural examination directly in the capital, right?" At least Jia Zheng returned to Jinling to take the Tongsheng Examination at the request of Jia Daishan. , and Jia Zhu has never brought up this topic until now.

Of course Jia Lian understood this, but he had to take part in the Tongsheng Examination. Not only did he have to participate, but he also had to obtain the fame of a scholar, "Mother, only after taking part in the Tongsheng Examination and obtaining the honor of a scholar, can my son compete with those of the Imperial College." Like Gongsheng students, if they take the provincial examination directly with the qualifications of Yinsheng students, I am afraid they will always be remembered." That is black history, and he doesn't want to be looked down upon by others. He still has to work hard.

Mrs. Zhang was very happy to see her son make progress, "Since you have said so, mother will naturally support you, but this journey is far away, I am afraid it will be more difficult than you think!"

Jia Lian smiled and said proudly, "As a man, He Wei endures hardship."

Mrs. Zhang was very satisfied with her son being able to say such words, and nodded with a smile, "It's really good that you can think that way." She looked at her son, who will be 14 years old after the new year, He is also an older child, "It's just that if that's the case, you may have to go out after the new year. The county test is in February, isn't it?"

Jia Lian nodded, "After the fifteenth day, my son is ready to go."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, thinking in her heart that this was Jia Lian's first time going out, and she had to be taken out by someone he could command, and the things needed on the road couldn't be frugal. Even though it was for an exam, it was considered Going out to see the world, but you can't make any mistakes.

Mrs. Zhang was thinking about her son, and Jia's mother also had some things to consider, for example, about Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun's marriage.Jia Zhu is not young anymore. Although he said that there is no need for a man to be anxious, but at his age, it is really time to put it on the table. Not only Jia Zhu, but also Jia Yuanchun, the time has come.

In fact, Jia's mother had already begun to consider the marriage between Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun, but marriage was always a matter of mutual love and mutual consent. Naturally, Jia's mother wanted to marry Jia Zhu a noble daughter-in-law, and even more wanted to marry Jia Yuanchun. Marry into a wealthy family.It's a pity that she has seen so many people, as long as she reveals that she wants to marry Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun, they will show that the children in the family are already engaged.

She may not feel anything once or twice, but it happens every time, how can she not know?Jia Zhu is better as a boy, and there is no need to be too anxious, but Yuanchun is fifteen years old, and she has reached the age where she has to be anxious, so she must think about it carefully.

The only good thing is that Jia Zhu has already gone to the Imperial College to study. If he can get a good name in the examination, not only his marriage can go further, but Yuan Chun's marriage can also be better.Thinking of this, Mother Jia has decided not to be so anxious. Although she still can't forget to show her grandchildren, it will be better when Jia Zhu wins the exam.

Hearing Jia Amnesty talk about Jia Lian going to take part in the children's test, Jia's mother couldn't help frowning slightly, that Jia Lian likes to mess around, what's the matter, if he takes part in the children's test, maybe her Zhu Er Did you follow?

Jia Amnesty saw that Jia's mother was dissatisfied. He didn't agree with Jia Lian going to take the child birth test, and he had to go back to Jinling. It was too far away. He is just such a precious son now!It's a pity that Mrs. Zhang and Jia Lian both insisted on it and thought it was a good thing. He could only come and talk to Jia's mother. Now that Jia's mother objected, Jia Amnesty would not feel that she was distressing Jia Lian, but that she was too fond of Jia Lian. Jia Zhu.

"It's good for Lian'er to have such an idea, but we have to wait until the New Year's Eve." Jia Mu said slowly.

Jia Amnesty was actually just here to inform Dr. Jia's mother, and now that she heard her say that, she nodded repeatedly, "My son thinks the same way."

After Jia Amnesty left, Jia Zhu said, "Grandmother, grandson and Lian'er will go back to Jinling to take part in the childbirth examination."

Jia's mother was not happy when she heard about the Tongsheng Examination. She absolutely disagreed with Jia Zhu's participation. In her heart, it was not a good thing to go back to Jinling to participate in the Tongsheng Examination. Jia Zheng was an obvious one. For example, he is obviously such a talented person who likes to read, but because of his health, it is difficult to perform well in the childbirth examination. Even when he directly participated in Qiuwei later, he lost confidence and could not achieve well.

She will not think that Jia Zheng is not well educated. The reason for this is the long journey back to Jinling and too many things. This time, she is not going to let Jia Zhu encounter the same situation again. , Persuading me, "It's just going to take the Qiu Wei in the capital. As long as you pass the exam, what's the difference? Those who go out, I'm already this age, don't you still let me worry about you?"

Jia Zhu said that he didn't dare, so Jia's mother felt relieved, and Jia Yuanchun also said, "Since my brother has already studied in the Imperial College, he should take this opportunity and make progress. Why waste time on On the way, the capital is not close to Jinling."

Jia Zhu never had the idea of ​​going back to Jinling to take part in the childbirth examination, but Jia Lian had such a thought, so he couldn't say anything. Now that everyone is against it, he is naturally very satisfied.

Jia Yuanchun was already looking forward to it. It would be even better if Jia Lian encountered some accident on the way back to Jinling. It would be trivial to prevent him from taking the exam. It would be even better if he died or got seriously ill.

It's a pity that Jia Lian was not as unlucky as Jia Yuanchun thought. Although the road was icy, he arrived in Jinling smoothly, not to mention encountering robbers along the way, even a thief.The people he brought with him were all carefully prepared by Mrs. Zhang, definitely not a small number. Although he spent a lot of time in order to speed up everything along the way, when he arrived in Jinling, the day of the exam was not very close.

Jia Lian returned to Jinling, but no matter how reluctant he was, he still lived in the ancestral house.It was not Jincai's family who was looking at the house, which surprised him a bit. It seemed that the old lady had already sent this servant who was holding her own hand, and she was afraid that she would have to talk about her life now!

Li Guanshi, who was guarding the house, was very happy to see Jia Lian, busy with this and that, completely looking like a good servant who thought about his master carefully, but when he saw the maid in his room dressed up at night, Jia Lian immediately understood that this family was not from their family either. Of course, this family was specifically referring to Mrs. Zhang and him, and Jia Amnesty could barely be added.

"What's your name?" Seeing such a warm and fragrant nephrite in her room, Jia Lian didn't lose her temper immediately, but asked her with a smile.

"The maidservant's name is Cui Cui." The little girl is not too old, she is only a year older than Jia Lian, but she has everything she should have, and her voice is also very good, but it is a pity that knowing who sent her, And why did he appear here, Jia Lian couldn't help but feel disgusted.

Cui Cui could not feel that there was anything wrong with Jia Lian. Hearing his question, she felt that she was very hopeful. In her heart, she dreamed of being the master. She knew that the second master had never had a servant by his side. Even the girl who came with her, Qing Jiang, was just doing basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. If she climbed into the second master's bed, she would definitely be wealthy in the future.

"Where do you serve?" Jia Lian half closed his eyes, and he also felt a little hard after driving for so long, but his voice still revealed a little indifference.

Qing Jiang was packing up Jia Lian's things. Hearing his voice, she understood that the master was not happy now. At this time, Cui Cui was already fascinated by the big cake drawn by the person who asked her to come, and she listened to everything. Can't come out, "The slaves were originally cleaned up in this room."

"Oh, then who asked you to serve me?" Jia Lian continued to ask.

The expression on Qing Jiang's face was very calm. Besides her this time, Mrs. Zhang also asked her accompanying room, Shi Hou's family, to come with her. Even if the second master really wanted to do something, such a girl would not She couldn't succeed, not to mention that the second master didn't have any thoughts about such a girl, but she suddenly realized that the second master was already fourteen and had reached the age of letting a maid in the room, so she made a silent note in her heart, wait until After returning to the capital, Hao reported to Mrs. Zhang.

Cui Cui was very dissatisfied with Qing Jiang staying in the room all the time. Qing Jiang was already in her 20s and had always occupied the No.1 seat next to Jia Lian. Cui Cui is one of them, but she is someone close to Zhang, and her background is strong enough, no amount of dissatisfaction is useless.

Jia Lian finally closed his eyes completely, as if he was tired, Qing Jiang was still tidying up, but Cui Cui leaned forward, wanting to serve her, "I'm afraid the second master is tired, I'll just give you a massage... "

It's a pity that she just came up, and before she put her hands on Jia Lian's head, Jia Lian's eyes opened again, and that gaze made people feel chills, "Get off!"

"Second Master!" Cui Cui didn't expect such a result, and couldn't help but look at her pitifully, hoping to get a little pity.

It's a pity that Jia Lian, who knows how cruel these maids are, has always been very sympathetic to them, "I said, get out, can't you hear me?"

After finishing speaking, he sneered and ordered his servant outside the door, "Shi Kang, call the steward here, I want to ask him a few words."

Guanshi Li came over immediately, looked at Cui Cui kneeling aside, and immediately said with a smile, "Second Master, could it be that Cui Cui is a poor girl, what kind of things Second Master likes, this slave..."

It's a pity that Jia Lian didn't have a good temper with him at all, and said sarcastically, "Guard Li, you really thought about it carefully for the sake of the master, even thinking of the girl who warmed the bed?"

Li Guanshi smiled obsequiously, "My lord is right. A slave should naturally think of what his master thinks. If there is something that he can't think of, then he shouldn't."

It's a pity that Jia Lian didn't like his tricks at all, and said to Shi Hou very calmly, "You should know what to do, right?"

Shi Yao nodded. The family couldn't understand why Mrs. Zhang asked them to follow. Jia Lian was very relieved, "Then, I'll leave him to you. I'm tired." After speaking, he closed his eyes again. .

Li Guanshi and the girl named Cuicui were also dragged away, only Qing Jiang was left to undress Jia Lian, "Master changed his clothes before resting..."

The next day, those people who displeased Jia Lian disappeared, and after he had breakfast, he asked Shi Liang to bring all the people from the ancestral house to the yard. Concise and concise, "I don't have anything special to say, I just want to tell you one thing. People in this mansion like to talk less and do more. If you follow the rules, nothing will happen. If anyone wants to do it the other way around, don't blame me for being cruel." Now, you have all seen what happened to Li Guanshi. I don’t do things to sell you. I am a scholar and like to act in accordance with the law. In the future, Jinling’s steward will be Shi Wan. What should I do, you guys Just listen to him."
