Reform from Jia She

Wang Xifeng had been paying attention to Jia Lian's expression, and seeing that he was not surprised at all, she knew her guess had come true, "Do you know about Uncle Lin's adoption?"

Jia Lian has only been back from Yangzhou for less than two months, so it is not surprising that he would know, after all, Jia Lian has lived in Yangzhou for almost half a year.

"I know."

Wang Xifeng frowned, "Don't let the old ancestor know about this. The old ancestor heard that Uncle Lin had adopted a child, and seemed a little worried about Sister Lin."

"Worried about Sister Lin?" Jia Lian was puzzled, "What is there to worry about? Shouldn't grandma be happy for Sister Lin?"

After all, this adopted elder brother is Daiyu's future backer.

Wang Xifeng glared at him, "Isn't this obvious? After all, the child is adopted, who can guarantee that he won't be a white-eyed wolf in the future? How many times this adopted son has embezzled the family property but..." She felt that there was something to be said. It was too unpleasant, so she swallowed it, but she believed that Jia Lian would understand what she hadn't finished speaking.

Jia Lian said with a smile, "You can understand the truth, don't uncle understand? Since uncle decided to adopt this child, then this child must have something special. As for whether he is a white-eyed wolf or not, it all depends on how uncle raises him." There is a reason for this child to become a white-eyed wolf. In the end, even if my uncle raises a white-eyed wolf, if he dares to embezzle the Lin family's property in the future, I can make him regret coming to this world."

In the few months he was in Yangzhou, Uncle Lin's teaching and guidance to him can be regarded as a kindness for rebuilding. After all, without Uncle Lin's teaching, he may not have the confidence to be the champion of this year. If he fails, his task If you fail, you don't know what the consequences will be.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Uncle Lin is kind to him, and he will always remember this kind of affection. As for the Great Repayment Pill, it is not enough to repay this kindness at all.

Hearing Jia Lian's confident words, Wang Xifeng was greatly shocked. After all, Jia Lian's hidden meaning was almost telling Wang Xifeng that he would definitely become a master in the future.

"One more thing." Wang Xifeng came back to his senses and suddenly remembered something. "The letter also said that Uncle Lin should return to the capital to take up a post at the earliest this year and next year at the latest."

Jia Lian was startled when he heard the words, "Going back to Beijing?" He thought for a while, "This is a good thing. Cousin Lin will be out of the filial piety next year, and Uncle Lin has not continued, so Cousin Lin will definitely be taken into the mansion by her grandmother. Come to teach, but if my uncle returns to Beijing to take up a post, maybe there are other ways to solve this problem."

Hearing these words, Wang Xifeng was taken aback, "Why, you don't seem to want to let Cousin Lin come and live in our mansion?"

"You also know Baoyu's temperament. I don't want him to harm my cousin Lin. My uncle treats me with great kindness, and my sister Lin is like my own sister. Baoyu is very good in my grandmother's eyes. In my eyes, hehe ..." If it weren't for the second uncle's kindness to him, he would have said even worse things.

Seeing that Jia Lian attached so much importance to Daiyu, Wang Xifeng couldn't help raising Daiyu's status even further.

"Speaking of which, I haven't met the cousin of the Lin family yet. The second master has lived in Yangzhou for so long. What do you think of this cousin of the Lin family?"

Wang Xifeng asked this because she also wanted to know some of Lin Daiyu's temperament and preferences, so that it would be easier to deal with her in the future.

"Cousin Lin's temperament is a little...high-minded, and she studied with her second uncle since she was a child," Jia Lian sighed, "You don't know how much Uncle Lin attaches importance to Cousin Lin, which family would let their daughter learn the Four Books and Five Classics? The eldest sister-in-law was born in a family of officials, and the family only called her to learn the Four Books of Women, Biography of Martyrs, etc."

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng probably had some understanding in her heart, and then smiled, "Speaking of this, I think of the cousin of the Xue family who also loves to read, but the master of the Xue family has died of illness, and I don't know that cousin Xue is still alive. To read or not to read."

Jia Lian only heard Wang Xifeng tell her about Xue's cousin once, but she didn't understand it. Besides, it had nothing to do with him, so she didn't ask any further questions.

From the next day, Wang Xifeng asked Yingchun to learn housekeeping from her when she was not studying. This matter was reported to her ancestors.

After listening to Wang Xifeng's words, the old ancestor also felt that Yingchun should learn these things, so he asked her to teach them.

The first day of March was Mrs. Wang's birthday, and since it was not a big birthday, a family banquet was held, and relatives from the East Mansion next door were invited over for a meal, and an opera troupe was also invited to sing in the mansion.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and on the [-]th day there will be a trial ranking, and Jia Lian is at the top of the high school.

Not to mention Rongguo Mansion, even the Ningguo Mansion next door knew about Jia Lian's participation in the examination, but they didn't know Jia Lian's current talents and studies, so they only thought Jia Lian had passed the exam, and this time he failed the exam.

And after Jia Zheng read Jia Lian's article last time, he didn't publicize it to the outside world, so the mansion didn't take it seriously, so when the messenger came to the mansion to announce the good news with drums and gongs, the mansion was still in a daze.

This time, Jia Lian did not receive a reminder from the system, so while waiting for the news in the mansion, he was restless.

Finally someone came to announce the good news, Jia Lian hurriedly went out to greet him, and gave him the reward he had prepared long ago, not because he thought he would definitely pass the Huiyuan exam, but because he felt that he was well prepared.

That day when Jia Lian passed the Jieyuan exam, he had already gained a lot of limelight among his relatives, but now that he passed the Huiyuan exam, he is even more proud.

Especially his old man, Jia She, wished he could hold a banquet for three days and announce to the world that he had a son who could read.

Fortunately, Jia Zheng suppressed this matter, and there was a palace test later, so he was in a hurry to set up wine now, and it was too early to say anything, and it would easily give people the impression of arrogance.

Jia Zheng's image in the mansion was much more reliable than Jia Amnesty's. Jia's mother thought it made sense, so she said that she would wait for the results of the palace examination before serving the wine.

Jia She pouted, and went back unhappy.

If you get the first place in the general examination, you will be the number one scholar in the palace examination.

The first place in the provincial examination, the first place in the general examination, this is winning two prizes in a row, and if you win the first prize again, you will win three prizes in a row.

The new emperor has just ascended the throne, if there is a top scorer in three consecutive rounds, it is an excellent omen, and the emperor may have appointed Jia Lian as the top scorer in this subject.

Before the palace examination, there was a re-examination. This re-examination was only to prevent those who failed to appeal for unfair selection. Those who ranked first, second, and third in the re-examination results were allowed to take the palace examination, and those who were not ranked were not allowed to participate in the palace examination.

There are re-examinations before the township examination and the general examination, and the rules are similar.

In the palace examination, Jia Lian sat directly in the center of the front because he was the first in the examination. Fortunately, for the new emperor, because of his relationship with Yuanchun, he was not too afraid, so he did not have much fear. Writing articles calmly is different from those who met the emperor for the first time, who were sweating nervously in front of the invigilator of the emperor and a dozen ministers.

Several ministers passed by Jia Lian's side to watch him write articles, even the emperor did the same, and the emperor stayed by Jia Lian's side the longest.

The palace examination was only for one day, so after handing in the papers, they left the palace and went home separately.

Three days after the release of the rankings, Jia Lian is not nervous now. He has already finished the exam anyway, so he can only wait for the result. If he fails to win the first prize and the task fails, he can only blame him for not being knowledgeable enough. I hope the system will not be too harsh on him. Bring down the dreadful punishment.

Three days later, the results of the palace examination were announced.

Jia Lian didn't go out, but the servants in the house ran out to read the list.

When the time came, the system responded.

[Main task (both civil and military): The imperial examination task has been completed. 】

[System rewards are issued to the system backpack. 】

[Now open a new task: Feng Hou Baixiang, the first stage: Please aim to become the emperor's confidant within three years. 】

Jia Lian looked confused, what kind of mission is this, asking him to flatter the emperor?

He was a little confused and wanted to ask the system, but the system ignored him.

After a while, the boy came back to announce the good news.

Although everyone thinks that Jia Lian has the hope of winning the first prize, no one can say for sure before the result comes out. Now that the result is out, everyone is in a daze when they see Jia Lian. Those old people in the house who watched Jia Lian grow up feel that they seem I have never met the real Jia Lian.

Obviously he was Jia Lian who was crucified as a playboy, but in just five or six years, he completely overturned everyone's impression of him, and even became the number one scholar in the new department.

Jia Lian was congratulated wherever he went, but he was very calm and had expected this a long time ago.

At the Ceremony of Chuanlu, Jia Lian was formally awarded an official position, because he was a rare three-yuan champion. When he was awarded an official, he was one level higher than the ordinary champion.

After the appointment, there was a parade on horseback and a feast in Qionglin.

Now Jia Lian has become famous all over the world in one fell swoop. This may be an exaggeration, but the difference is not too big. In short, Jia Lian is well-known in this area of ​​the capital.

After attending the Qionglin Banquet, Jia Lian returned to the mansion. His status was different from what it used to be. Wang Xifeng also got the imperial order and was very happy every day.

After the Qionglin Banquet, Jia Lian began to work in the Imperial Academy. A servant of the Imperial Academy is not a high-ranking official, but the key point of this official position is that he can often appear in front of the emperor. Sometimes the emperor does not write imperial edicts himself. I wrote it by myself, but it was written by the attendant lecturer of the Imperial Academy.

Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, Jia Lian happened to be taking a rest. Just after breakfast, Wang Xifeng came in with a lot of worries.

"What's the matter? Frowning?"

"The two sisters-in-laws of my natal family came and said that it was the cousin of the Xue family, Xue Pan, who had a life lawsuit in Jinling. My aunt is very anxious now, and I don't know what's going on. The cousin of the Xue family still wants to run for election this year. Now I'm afraid I will suffer." Wang Xifeng sighed.

What a pity to meet such a brother.

Jia Lian frowned upon hearing this, "Human life? What's going on?"

"I don't know the details. I heard that it seems to be buying a girl. It's really nonsense. It's just a girl. Where can I not buy it? I bought it by killing someone. Isn't this..." Wang Xifeng said. He swallowed again, his face full of depression.

Since marrying into the Jia family, the Xue family has no serious relationship with the Jia family. If it weren't for her and her aunt, what relationship could the Xue family have with the Jia family?Now that Jia Lian has just entered high school, this kind of incident happened at Xue's house. Isn't this a slap in the face for her?
