The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Jia Zhu's participation in Chunwei was not considered too important in the entire mansion. After all, Jia Lian had never participated in it, and Jia Lian was the only serious master in the mansion.

Mrs. Zhang is helping Jia Lian look after her future daughter-in-law with all her heart. Of course, Jia Lian doesn't know this yet.Mrs. Zhang thought that Jia Lian's age had also come, and she had planned to see him when he was fifteen, but now there was an accident, so she had to hurry up.

And what she pays attention to is also those girls from Qingliu's family, which is different from Wang's single-minded thought of finding a noble wife for Jia Zhu. It is the best, but it is a pity that there are always very few girls from her natal family, so now I can only see if there are any suitable ones from other families.

Girls who choose to be born in Qingliu House also value their knowledge. After all, most of the children will still need to be taught by their mothers in the future. If a mother who doesn't know even words, she doesn't think she can teach any outstanding children.

However, if Jia Lian were to get married now, it might hinder his career in the imperial examination. She still thought in her heart that her son could win the Jinshi first and then consider the issue of marriage.Marriage can be settled first, and it is not impossible to wait until Jia Lian has passed the Jinshi examination three years later.

Jia Lian also didn't pay much attention to Jia Zhu's affairs. He was more concerned about his studies now. Considering the exam three years later, besides studying in the Imperial College every day, he also had to do homework assigned by his grandfather and uncle. He is very busy, not only himself, but his grandfather's eldest cousin Zhang Pei is also extremely busy. He has his grandfather's permission to end up with Jia Zhu this year, "Cousin, brother, here I wish you the best of luck." , High school champion."

Zhang Pei was a little older than Jia Zhu, and had won the exam three years ago, but was also asked by Zhang Ren to wait for another subject, so that he could not participate in Chunwei until the article was ready.Zhang Ren thinks that he doesn't have the talent of his father, and don't think about Sanyuan and Di, so it is most appropriate to take the scientific examination when the time is right.

Zhang Di over there looked quite envious. He originally wanted to take the scientific examination with Jia Lian this year, so he could go to the Imperial College to study with Jia Lian, but unfortunately he didn't get his grandfather's consent, so he could only continue to study obediently until the time was right. when.

Looking at Zhang Di's envious little face, Zhang Pei felt a little helpless. He was obviously the same age as Lian'er, but he still looked like a child. Take care, when will this child grow up, and he still has to say comforting words, "You have to work harder, maybe in three years your articles will be good enough, you can tell your grandfather that you can't return it." Can I join Lian'er in the Spring Quarters!"

Zhang Di seemed to have gained strength, and nodded, "I will definitely work hard in the past few years."

Looking at his small appearance, Zhang Pei didn't know what to say. He suppressed his smile and said solemnly, "Success, then I'll wait to see you pass the exam."

Jia Zhu was also told a lot by Jia's mother in Jia's mansion. Jia's mother had already favored several families for Jia Zhu, and she was going to propose marriage after Jia Zhu passed the exam. Jia Yuanchun was also quiet but full of expectations. Looking at Jia Zhu, Jia Zhu felt even more stressed, but he never showed it. He was still a good grandson who was filial to his grandmother and a good brother who cared about his sister.

Chun Wei is different from Qiu Wei. Although the time of the scientific research is similar, the weather is much colder, but you can't wear cotton clothes. Although the clothes on your body are made of excellent materials, Jia Zhu's body has never been too strong. All of a sudden, I really suffered from pain, not only from the wind and cold, but also from the tendency of fever.

It's just that Jia Zhu is very aware of how important this exam is to him. No matter how uncomfortable his body is, he still persists in enduring it. It is a kind of tenacity, at least much stronger than his father's tenacity.

It's a pity that this also has disadvantages. For example, he was carried out from the examination room, and most of Lai who came to pick him up was frightened. He told people to go back to the house quickly, and at the same time sent people to ask for medicine.

Mother Jia felt even more distressed when she saw it, so she asked Jia She to take the post to invite the imperial physician. Please ask the imperial physician, all of a sudden, the rumors about Jia Zhu's poor health in the capital are even more prevalent.Mother Jia was optimistic about those individuals, but she decided to wait and see. If Jia Zhu's health never recovered, wouldn't they have ruined the girl's life for the rest of her life.

Jia Zhu's illness was so severe that the imperial physician carefully prescribed the medicine so that he could take care of him, "Mr. Zhu has suffered from that kind of hardship before, and the scientific examination is always difficult. This year's weather is cold. I heard that many people Those who participated in Chunwei are not feeling well!" Hearing what Lai Da said, Jia's mother was relieved, she believed in the knowledge of the family, and was only worried that he did not perform well because of his physical discomfort. Now she knows Everyone felt unwell, and their hearts were relieved.

Jia Zhu had been sick for a long time, and he was almost recovered when the rankings were about to be released. Mother Jia saw that the smile on her face increased a lot, "You scared my old lady to death this time. , fortunately it's all right."

Jia Zhu repeatedly expressed that she was unfilial and made the old lady worry about herself, and Jia's mother also comforted him, "I am your grandmother, how can I not worry about you, don't say such things."

Jia Yuanchun was also very happy to see Jia Zhu's health improved. Even Mrs. Wang no longer thought about Aunt Zhao giving birth to a son and still being able to keep her by her side, and her heart relaxed a lot.

It's a pity that before they were happy, Jia Zhu was shocked by the result of the list, "What, there is no name on the list, did you see it right?"

Lai Da did not expect that Jia Yuanchun would say that, and he was very unhappy in his heart. He was said by Yuanchun once in the past, but he did not expect that after all these years, Jia Yuanchun would not be his master. Talking to him like this, but no matter what, no name is no name, and no one came to sing the list with drums and gongs. Jia Mu also knew that this kind of thing was not Lai Da's fault, so she waved her hand, "Go down."

Jia Zhu's complexion was pale from the moment he heard that he was unknown on the list, and he was even more stimulated when he saw everyone's reaction. His body, which had just recovered not long ago, was failing again. Tossing, "It's just a matter of rushing, so that you can keep it alive."

Mother Jia was relieved when she heard what the imperial physician said, but she couldn't help but feel some other worries in her heart, which was the marriage between Yuan Chun and Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu was already eighteen, even if he didn't pass the exam this year, he would have to make a marriage for him, otherwise it would be shameless, let alone Yuan Chun, I'm afraid it must be settled this year.It's just that if Jia Zhu passed the Jinshi examination, their marriage would be able to improve to a higher level, but now it seems that it may not be as good as originally thought.

Wang was also in a hurry, Zhang just stood aside quietly, and left when she saw that Jia Zhu was fine. She had other things to do, and she couldn't just think about Jia Zhu.

In Jia Zheng's heart, he was considered the most depressing one. He had never made any achievements, no matter whether it was the imperial examination or being an official. Whether it's Lin Ruhai or Wang Ziteng who are close to his age, he can't reach him.

It's not that he doesn't feel jealous, but sometimes he sees that they don't even have a son, and he feels that although he doesn't go very smoothly in the officialdom, he has both sons and daughters, especially having several sons. It is much better to have no sons.

Jia Zhu is good at studying, he has always felt that it is his hope, and he also thought in his heart that as long as Jia Zhu is excellent, it is best to have a future in the future.It's a pity that Jia Zhu didn't win this time, so he became a bit depressed, even talking with Shan Pinren and other Qing customers could not relieve the depression in his heart.

Mrs. Wang didn't know about this. Now she is full of her precious son, don't have anything to do. Although she still has a son, but that child has not been loved by Jia's mother since birth, and it is mediocre in Jia Zheng's eyes. What's more, he is too young, whether he can raise him or not is another matter. What is more important than Jia Zhu, a son who has grown up and won the election?

Seeing that Jia Zhu's body was fine, she felt more relieved, and said with relief, "You are still young, and it is already good to be able to lift the middle. Don't do it like that, or put your body first. Let's talk about it after raising it."

Jia Yuanchun was also worried about what might be wrong with Jia Zhu, so he said thoughtfully, "That's right, the most important thing is that my brother's health is better, and other things are false, brother should pay more attention, don't let the old lady and you Ma'am is worried."

Jia Zhu agreed, but in her heart she still felt that she was not above Jia Lian, and she was very unhappy. Although she was taking care of her body, she never recovered because of her bad mood.

Mother Jia and the others saw this, but there was nothing they could do to help him. After thinking about it for a long time, it was Jia Yuanchun who said, "Marrying a sister-in-law with my elder brother might make me feel better? My elder brother is in trouble now." It's better to let him stop thinking about this matter for the time being."
