The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Qiu Wei came late, Jia Lian entered the examination room with Jia Zhu this time, in fact, he should have attended the Qiu Wei in the south of the Yangtze River under normal circumstances, and Jia Zhu was the same, only However, relying on Jia's mansion, which is not too big, but not too small, the two of them were lucky enough to stay in the capital to take the exam. He still felt that it would be easier to take the exam in the capital.

Before participating in Qiu Wei, Jia Lian spent most of his time in the Zhang family, and took leave of absence from the Imperial College, staying with his grandfather Zhang Ren and his uncle Zhang Qing every day to ask about Qiu Wei. Don't hesitate to enlighten me.

Jia Yuanchun had the cheek to act like a spoiled child to Mother Jia, and asked Mother Jia to order Jia Lian to take Jia Zhu to Zhang's house so that Jia Zhu could study. Unfortunately, the Zhang family was not as kind as it appeared on the surface. Just revealed some meaning with Zhang Shi, Zhang Shi made it clear that this is impossible.

Even when Jia's mother called Jia She to her and lost her temper, nothing changed. Jia She was the one who didn't want Jia Zhu to have a bright future, how could she speak for Jia Zhu?

This made Jia's mother extremely dissatisfied. It's a pity that Jia She and the Zhang family were so strong. Jia She even said, "The Zhang family is Lian'er's uncle. , just go to his own uncle, Prince Tengke is also a Jinshi."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang thought it was ironic. Although Wang Ziteng was born as a Jinshi, can he compare with Zhang Qing who was born as a number one scholar?Not to mention that the Zhang family has always been a Qingliu family, and all the children were born in the imperial examination. No matter how much Wang usually thinks that his natal family is stronger, now he has to admit that the Zhang family can give Jia Lian help in the imperial examination. very big.

It's a pity that they were rejected, and Jia Zhu also said, "Master Li thinks that my knowledge is good, and I often give advice. Mother, don't worry."

Hearing this, the Wang family was relieved again. No matter how powerful the Zhang family is, can it still be more powerful than Guozijian Jijiu?That's a serious teacher!Apparently, she forgot that Zhang Ren is now a Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, but no one wanted to remind her.

Jia Yuanchun thought about it for a while, and felt that it would be more useful for Jia Zhu to have the teaching of Guozijian offering wine, so he never mentioned this matter again.

Mrs. Zhang got a suggestion from Mrs. Jiang, and she called Jia Lian a careful selection of the things that Jia Lian wanted to enter the examination room. Jia Lian had always only brought a pen into the examination room when he took the exam himself. , the difference between ancient and modern times was prepared by Mrs. Zhang, and she didn't express much opinion, but only mentioned what came to her mind.

Jia Zhu's side was also carefully prepared by Wang. She considered the importance of Jia Zhu's participation in the provincial examination, and even completely ignored Aunt Zhao who had just given birth to a child and made her troublesome.But because of this, Aunt Zhao was given an opportunity under all precautions and considerations. When she never thought of it, Aunt Zhao was pregnant again in this short period of time. When she came over, Aunt Zhao's stomach was already up.

There are three township examinations in total, three days each, nine days in total, but no one is given a chance to come out. Instead, he stays in the examination room for nine days before he is released. Jia Lian also knows that in this way How hard it will be.The only good thing is that the rural examination is in August, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, at least the weather will not be too cold and the ink will not freeze.

Jia Lian still felt good on the first day of the examination room. He also understood that the more he got to the end, the more he couldn't bear it. Naturally, he hurriedly answered the questions, and his writing was like a spring. After answering the papers, he read them. Thinking it was good, Jia Lian copied the content again, using the standard pavilion style.

Jia Zhu was not as lucky as Jia Lian. Although he got a tip from Li Jijiu, he had never taken the exam. Although he consciously learned well, he still felt a sense of fear about stepping into the exam room. On the first day I couldn't help shaking my hands even holding the paper, let alone answering the questions well.

He has always been the master who stretches out his clothes for food and opens his mouth for food, and he never does anything by himself. Now that he is in the examination room, and no one can serve him, his discomfort is even more intense.

What's more, such an exam is not something that makes people feel particularly comfortable. Jia Zhu is under a lot of pressure and cannot adapt to the environment. Although it is only nine days, he has had a really hard time.

Jia Lian also felt very uncomfortable, but the things Zhang prepared for him were very suitable. He is not a person who cannot take care of himself. He said, "It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, and it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance. It seems that I have also been raised to be a real young master. This bit of hardship is almost unbearable. This is not possible..." After answering the question, After filling his stomach, Jia Lian unceremoniously began to sleep in order to ensure that he would have enough energy for the next exam.

However, he was able to force himself to endure everything else in the examination room, but there was only one thing he couldn't bear at all, and that was the toilet. It was unbearable, every time Jia Lian thought about it, he was glad that his room was far from the toilet, otherwise he would have been fainted by the smoke.

In the first-class general's mansion, no one can calm down. Jia Lian is taking the exam, and Jia Amnesty has been waiting for his son to earn face for himself. Naturally, he also wants to know what's going on, and Mrs. Zhang, she heard Passing the hard work in the examination room, I was very worried about whether Jia Lian would be able to persevere.

As for Jia Mu and Jia Yuanchun, of course they are thinking about Jia Zhu, but they don't know much about it, and even if they are anxious, they are in vain. Outside the court, I was afraid that Jia Zhu would not be able to persist.

Wang's heart is also anxious. She kneels before the Buddha sincerely every day. Although she has always said that she believes in Buddhism, it is actually just a means, and she does not have much sincerity. But this time for Jia Zhu , she was praying wholeheartedly in the Buddhist hall, and she hoped that Jia Zhu would be able to win the exam, and then be named on the gold list smoothly, so that their family could really feel proud.

Jia Zheng was also worried about his son in his heart, and his mood was always depressed. Even if he talked with his fellow cleaners, he couldn't make him feel better. He didn't go to the Ministry of Industry very much. He just thought about Can Jia Zhu pass the exam smoothly?

But at such a time, Mrs. Wang ignored Jia Zheng and only cared about her son. Naturally, Aunt Zhao didn't mind taking advantage of it. But she didn't mind enveloping Jia Zheng with her gentle smile, "I really don't know what this baby will be like?" She pretended to be worried.

Jia Zheng naturally wanted a son. Although he already had two sons, he still felt that the more sons the better, "It will definitely be a son."

Aunt Zhao wanted to hear such words, she had worked so hard, and what she was looking forward to in her heart was to give birth to a son and have a guarantee in the future, "It's just that if it's a son, I still have to worry about his future! "Speaking in this way, he took a handful of Jia Zhu by the way, "If I can read as well as my uncle, I will be relieved."

Jia Zheng was always very satisfied with Jia Zhu's son, and now he heard what Aunt Zhao said, and he felt happy in his heart, and even said kindly, "This child will definitely study hard in the future. It's okay." He was very concerned that Jia Lian was able to participate in the scientific examination with Jia Zhu even though she was three years younger than Jia Zhu.

Aunt Zhao was even more beautiful when she heard it, but she said modestly, "How can I compare with the old man? I am also satisfied that he can have three points of the old man."

Although the nine days are very hard, there will always be a day to finish.When he left the examination room, Jia Lian felt that the air was much fresher.In the past nine days, he hasn't washed himself properly, so he really looks unkempt and his clothes are wrinkled, but other people don't look much different from him.

Everyone Lai had been waiting for him every day, and today he finally got someone. He said a word of Buddha in his heart, and approached with a smile, "How is Second Master?"

Jia Lian nodded, and got into the car first. Even if Jia Lian was in good health and had a certain ability to take care of himself, he felt that it was extremely hard for him to stay in it. Let alone those who have grown up, once they go out, they will be unable to stand up.

He doesn't do any activities on weekdays, and he doesn't know how to take care of himself. These nine days are really torture for him. If it weren't for a trace of obsession in his heart, he might not be able to stand it long ago and collapsed. Yes, now he didn't fall until he was out of the door, which is already considered a good performance.

But even so, Mother Jia felt distressed, and Jia Zhu was the only one she could see in her eyes. She asked the doctor for a while, and asked Jia Amnesty to go to the imperial doctor with the post. On the contrary, Jia Lian was regarded as transparent by her. people.

Mrs. Zhang was very dissatisfied, but she refused to tell the truth. She just asked people to say a few more words when asking for the doctor, "Uncle Zhu of our second master's family has always been in poor health, and now... really... The old ladies and wives are so anxious!" Such a few words gave Jia Zhu a problem of poor health, and made many people who originally thought Jia Zhu was good and wanted to say goodbye stopped talking.
