In late spring and early summer, the weather gradually warms up.

Ever since Jia Zheng began to give advice on Jia Lian's studies, Jia Lian has been called by Jia Zheng to take the school exam almost every day, and it is the same today, but today seems to be a little different from the past, Jia Zheng's study room is only for himself, he None of the doormen were there.

"This year's rural examination, has Lian'er thought about giving it a try?"

Jia Lian was taken aback when he heard the words, and then came back to his senses, "I want to give it a try."

After he passed the Xiucai exam, the system unlocked the next stage of the task. The task was to let him pass the Jieyuan exam within three years. The township exam was once every three years. He had no choice but to take this year's township exam. The task is about to fail.

Although the system didn't say what would happen if the task failed, he had worked hard for so long, not for the sake of failure, nor did he want to fail.

Jia Zheng nodded, "It's good that you have this ambition."

Looking at Jia Lian, he felt deeply moved. In the past, Jia Lian was just a lump of mud that couldn't stick to the wall. He never thought that after getting married, he would be enlightened. This talent surpassed that of his eldest son Jia Zhu who died young. .

"Second uncle won't stop me?" Jia Lian was a little surprised, he thought he would be scolded by his second uncle for quick success.

Jia Zheng shook his head and laughed, "What am I scolding you for? With your current accumulation, it is no problem to pass the exam, but if you want to rank well, you still need to rely on your current skills. I have a suggestion here. See if you want to listen."

"Second Uncle, please tell me."

Jia Lian didn't think that the second uncle would harm him. In this mansion, the second uncle was probably the best person to him.The second aunt may have some selfishness, but those selfishness are human nature, there is nothing to criticize, at least his second aunt never harmed him, and helped him marry Wang Xifeng when he had nothing.

Therefore, no matter what, he is grateful to his second uncle and aunt.

"Your uncle is a top talent, so you don't need to talk about learning. If you can get his advice, you may be able to pass the Jieyuan exam, but Brother Ying and Sister Ying are still young..." Jia Zheng said at this point. He stopped, there was no need to speak out, he believed that Jia Lian understood what he wanted to say.

Sure enough, Jia Lian frowned.

He frowned not because he was reluctant to part with his cute and well-behaved son, but because he thought of something else.

"It's less than half a year before I leave the country test. I'm going to Yangzhou now, and I'll spend a lot of time on the way. I'm afraid I won't have much time left when I get to my uncle." Jia Lian frowned.

Hearing this, Jia Zheng knew that Jia Lian was willing to go. He smiled and said, "If you are interested in studying, it is not too late to rush to Yangzhou overnight. Besides, you have gone to Yangzhou. How much time does your uncle have to teach you?" You can’t do it? Your uncle is Yangzhou’s patrol salt censor after all, and he also has official duties, so he can only give you advice when he is not on official duties.”

"What...then what am I going to do? Uncle doesn't have time to teach me." Jia Lian said.

Jia Zheng was amused, "The Lin family is a scholarly family, and your uncle is a top talent. Even if he finds time to give you some advice, it will be enough for you. Do you still want to be greedy?"

Jia Lian suddenly blushed, "That's not what I meant."

"If you are willing to go, arrangements must be made for the wife and children here. Brother Feng has always been sensible, so he shouldn't embarrass you."

Jia Lian pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.

Feng'er wholeheartedly hoped that he would go to high school and earn her a royal order, so how could he stop him?If he heard that he was going to ask Uncle Lin for advice, he might have to pack his bags himself.

Leaving Jia Zheng's place, Jia Lian went straight back to her yard, while Wang Xifeng was looking over the bills in the house. After Brother Ying and Sister Xie reached their first birthday, the housekeeper still fell into Wang Xifeng's hands.

After Jia Zhu's death, his second aunt became more and more obsessed with worshiping the Buddha, as if Jia Zhu could have a good baby in the next life, and Li Wan only guarded his son and didn't care about everything. His stepmother was incapable of managing things. It fell into Wang Xifeng's hands.

If in the past, Wang Xifeng had to take care of the general affairs of the mansion, he was afraid that he would be embarrassing, but now it is different, none of the servants in the mansion dare to show Wang Xifeng any shame.

Now Jia Lian can be said to have replaced Jia Zhu's previous position in the mansion, and has become the hope of the Rongguo Mansion's future establishment. Those servants and girls below, who doesn't go to Jia Lian to see if they are familiar?

As for Baoyu, he is still a half-grown child, and under the protection of the old lady, he seems to be heading towards the direction of a playboy. Even if he has some status in the mansion because of the old lady, he is still inferior to Jia Lian.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Wang Xifeng heard the footsteps, looked up, saw that it was Jia Lian, put the account book aside, and asked.

Jia Lian then explained the cause and effect, "Time is tight, I may leave tomorrow, please help me pack my things, and I will go to pay my respects to my ancestors."

"I want to tell my ancestors that since my aunt is gone, my ancestors have been dissuaded by you, and they have to read it every now and then if they don't pick up Sister Lin. When you go this time, you might ask you to bring something to Lin." My sister is also unknown."

The old ancestor was talking about Sister Lin, and Jia Lian also knew about it. He sighed, "If it wasn't for the imminent township examination, I wouldn't have gone to work and my uncle would give me advice. After all, there is a new funeral in the mansion over there."

After the couple chatted for a while, Jia Lian left for Rongqing Hall.

Apart from inviting An, Jia Lian didn't come to the backyard on weekdays, and it was rare to come at this time. Therefore, as soon as Jia Mu heard that he came, she knew that he wanted to see her, so she was invited in immediately.

Entering the house, Jia Lian saw Baoyu who was with her grandmother at a glance. Baoyu got up to greet her, "Second Brother Lian."

"Baoyu, I haven't seen you for a while, have you grown taller again?" Jia Lian said with a smile, never mentioning the matter of studying.

Everyone in the mansion knows that as long as Baoyu is promoted and the imperial examination is taken, he will turn his face and smash things. The most painful thing is the psychic jade on his body, which is said to be brought from the womb. Baoyu will be the most promising young man in the mansion in the future, and he will be obedient to him almost everything. Once this piece of jade is dropped, everyone will obey him.

Although Jia Lian's status in the mansion has risen now, he still hasn't mastered the Rongguo Mansion after all, and he doesn't want to make trouble with his grandmother.

"Second brother Lian doesn't come here very often. What's the matter today?" Baoyu asked curiously.

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I have something to tell my ancestors." After a pause, he changed the topic, "I just came from my second uncle, and you know that because of Brother Zhu, my second uncle has been very sad. If you have time, you might as well go and see Second Uncle."

When Jia Zheng was mentioned, Baoyu was a little apprehensive, "Master gets angry when he sees me, so I don't go to him to make trouble."

Jia Lian shook her head when she heard the words, because she was afraid of being scolded, she didn't go to see her father. Jia Lian really didn't know what to say.

"Okay, Lian'er, come here, what's the matter?"

Seeing that Jia's mother had spoken, Jia Lian stopped talking to Baoyu and said what she wanted in the future.

As soon as she heard that Jia Lian was going to Yangzhou, Jia Mu's face changed. As Wang Xifeng said, she packed a lot of things from the warehouse and asked Jia Lian to take them to Yangzhou.

Jia Lian didn't stay in Rongqing Hall for too long, he had to say goodbye to the master, after all, he was his biological father, how could the second uncle and grandmother know that he was going away, but his biological father didn't?

However, when they arrived at the East Courtyard, Jia Lian didn't even see anyone. It was the Xing family who heard that Jia Lian was coming and rushed out so that there was no joke.

Seeing the way Xing Shi led him to the front hall, Jia Lian quickly understood what his father was doing.

□□Playing with the maid in the study at home, it's really...absurd!

When Jia Lian came out, his face was a little ugly.

The next day, Jia Lian left the capital on horseback. In fact, it would be much more comfortable to walk by water, but Yangzhou is more than 3000 miles away from the capital. Even if there is a favorable wind by boat, it will take nearly three months. To fill more than double, he has no time to spend on the boat, so the horse will be faster.

If you are riding a horse, you have to go fast, and if you count the rest and rain on the road, it will only take 20 days at most.

Jia Lian also encountered some minor troubles on the way. Fortunately, the system was reliable and there was a protection mechanism, which allowed him to arrive in Yangzhou smoothly within the planned time.

When he arrived in Yangzhou, Jia Lian didn't go directly to Lin's mansion, but went to the inn to rest first. As for the things his grandmother asked him to bring, he had someone ship them to Yangzhou, and he traveled lightly by himself.

After a good night's rest in the inn, Jia Lian rushed to Lin's mansion after taking care of himself the next day.

When they arrived at the Lin Mansion, Jia Lian first handed over the invitation card and reported his identity. When the porter heard that he was the nephew of his wife's natal family, he didn't dare to neglect, so he directly invited Jia Lian to the front hall, while the other person went to report to the master.

Lin Ruhai fell ill recently and has been recuperating at home. Although she has improved, she has not recovered yet. When she heard that Jia Lian had arrived, she hurried out to see her.

"When did Lian'er arrive in Yangzhou?"

Jia Lian said it was noon yesterday, and Lin Ruhai asked him where he was resting yesterday. After finding out, he said, "I just received a letter from your second uncle a few days ago, and someone has already sent someone to clean up the guest house. You stay here first, and I will take care of you in a while." You meet your sister."

This younger sister is naturally Lin Ruhai's only daughter, Lin Daiyu.

"When I came in just now, I heard from the people in the house that my sister was ill. I don't know how her condition is? Did you invite a doctor to see her?"

Lin Ruhai sighed, "Since your aunt left, Yu'er has been depressed and unhappy, and she fell into an old illness not long after."

"Old disease?"

"Your sister has some deficiencies, and if she grieves too much, she will suffer from old illnesses. Fortunately, she is not in danger of her life." Lin Ruhai said sadly.

Jia Lian didn't have anything good to do, so he could only sigh, and bit the bullet to comfort Lin Ruhai.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Ruhai took Jia Lian to the study room, passed Jia Lian's exam, and sighed, "With your current talents and learning, it's not difficult to pass the exam. You came here day and night, I think there is more High goals?"

What is the higher goal? Needless to say, what else is there besides the first name Jieyuan?

"Yes, please give my uncle some pointers." Jia Lian bowed deeply, very seriously.
