[Red House] How to escape from a broken ship

Xu Zhi didn't want to be so eccentric and arrogant as in the legends, this was Jia Yan's impression. Before the exam, Xu Zhi came here just to ask: "How old is the young master?"

Jia Yan said, "It's the next thirteen."

"Oh..." Xu Zhi clicked his tongue, feeling that it might not be good for him to be too calm under the influence of his master. This 13-year-old boy came to the exam with confidence.

Xu Zhi is far from what most people think of as a "chic talent". He has a round face and is a bit fat. Several myself.When the drums were beating in the examination room to announce the admission of candidates, Xu Zhi said, Xiao Jia and I will go!

As he said that, he picked up Jia Yan and took them to line up to enter the examination room. Han Changsheng was amazed: "Scholars still have such strength!" Long without being mean."

Chang Sheng just wanted to ask, have you ever seen a mean wit?As soon as he opened his mouth, he was kicked by Tao Hou, Chang Sheng immediately shut up, and smiled at A Yuan who didn't know why.Han Changsheng, who was rubbing his calf, thought that everyone said that Uncle Tao knew it in his heart, and it was true.

There are three exams in a row. Generally speaking, the county exam will not dismiss the candidates, as long as the dictation is correct, and the five-character and six-rhyme co-authored by the corresponding poems will be fine.This first level is really easy to handle. The slight difficulty starts from the second round. In the second round, you have to write the four scriptures silently, and the poems that should be posted have also become five-character and eight-rhyme. A law Fu.

Moreover, if you are dismissed in the second round, you will not be eligible to take the third round.If you are lucky enough to get to the last test, candidates are required to compose poems and poems according to the examiner's restrictions, and also write scriptures and parallel essays silently, and write down the first two sentences of the filial piety scriptures silently in the second session.This requires candidates to keep in mind the chapters of the filial piety in the second session, otherwise, it is useless even if they memorize them backwards!

Jia Yan's silent writing of the Four Books and Five Classics is all right, the rhyme, prose and parallel prose are passable, and the poems that should be pasted are also passable.After finishing these three exams, Jia Yan wrapped himself in a felt cloak, looked at the exam papers in front of him, and thought that he must forget about the case.Yangzhou is a land of outstanding people, and the examiners also prefer those candidates with good poems, but it shouldn't be a problem to make up for it by yourself.

After all, Jia Yan looked around when he entered the arena, and there should be no one younger than himself, and the examiner will pay special attention to him because of his age.This is what his uncle Lin Hai's private tutor told him. The imperial examination is not only about talent and learning, but also has many ways in it.After the third round of the exam, you can leave and wait for the results to be released. Although Jia Yan has finished answering, no one has yet handed in the papers in his Xuanzi room. He waits patiently and waits for someone to hand in the papers before handing them in.

In this way, the examiner will not be left with a young and impatient impression. People in this world are full of strange things, and they will have all kinds of ideas, so don't be foolish.

When Jia Yan left the examination room, Xu Zhi happened to be talking to someone in front of the carriage. When he turned around, he saw Jia Yan and waved, "Xiao Jia!"

"Mr. Xu." Jia Yan cupped his fists and said, "What a coincidence, when everyone comes out later, we may not be able to see them."

Maybe it was because of the friendship that passed through the same examination room these days, Xu Zhi said: "Don't be so polite, I will call you Brother Xiao Jia, you can call me Big Brother Xu or Brother Zhengxing! Maybe we will have to meet again in the future! He patted Jia Yan on the shoulder, said goodbye and got in the car.They are all in good condition. The first two rounds of the county exam in this dynasty are all out immediately after the exam, and only the third round has to stay inside for three days.

Jia Yan yawned and watched Uncle Tao coming in a carriage, and Han Changsheng and A Yuan jumped out of the carriage.Looking at Jia Yan's appearance, Chang Sheng's eyes turned red: "Where has our uncle suffered so much? He couldn't even eat hot food!" Bowl of broth warmed in a small charcoal stove in a casserole, and then fell asleep.

A Yuan said: "It's all for the future. It's worth eating cold food. After passing the government examination, our uncle will be a child student, and after passing the college examination, we will be a scholar. There is still a bright future in the future. Now we eat What's cold food?" He was happy for Jia Yan, although he sometimes felt self-pity when he thought of his family background, but Jia Yan saved him and gave him a new identity without future troubles, A Yuan was already very content.

Han Feng looked at the cook cooking porridge for Jia Yan. After eating cold food for three days, he had to recover his spleen and stomach. Of course porridge was the best.I was also worried that eating porridge would not make me hungry, so I simply cooked chicken porridge with dried bamboo shoots in it.The porridge was beautiful and the meat was rotten, delicious and mellow. Jia Yan woke up groggy and was fed two bowls of lotus root, and then fell asleep again.The water chestnut next to him said in a low voice: Is it too much for the young master to eat two bowls?

He is growing up now, and Han Feng felt that he was eating too little, and he had nothing to say, so several people withdrew again.

When she came out, she saw her son Han Changsheng talking to A Yuan, which aroused something in Han Feng's mind. The night before yesterday, her man Han Chang said to her: "Changsheng is not careful, and he is so close to A Yuan all day long. It's like a brother."

Han Fengshi has been looking at A Yuan for a few years, she turned over and said: "A hero with three gangs, and a fence with three stakes, I still think it's quite good. The child of A Yuan has been through the experience and is stable, and the uncle also sees it Li. Changsheng takes him to serve the young master, and he will be more stable."

"I'm afraid it's not your son who brought A Yuan, it's A Yuan who took your son." Han Chang said angrily: "You have become the uncle's nurse, and Changsheng is the uncle's nurse brother. But seeing that A Yuan is a foreigner, he still sings. The boy who has been in the theater and doesn’t know what else he has done is more valued by the young master than the old people in our house. You can persuade him if you have time, that boy A Yuan is alone, and he has such a character experience. A well-behaved child who grew up with the uncle."

It was from her man that Han Feng was a little worried. After all, the uncle grew up year by year, and now there are not many people who use it, and there are only men who complain.In the future, what is said in the play, when the emperor and the courtiers reign, the sky will be turned upside down!Han Fengshi kept this matter in her heart, thinking about when she would have to tell her baby son.

Alas, the uncle is young but has to be caught inside and out. Han Feng suddenly thought that if the uncle married early, he could share one or two of them.But such a big matter, it is really not for her to intervene, it depends on how Jia Yan's elders decide.Hope to marry our uncle a good wife, Han Feng prayed.

Jia Yan in the dream didn't know that in the eyes of his nanny, he was someone who could marry a wife.After sleeping soundly for two days, Jia Yan finally recovered. Although he said it was all right, at his age, taking the exam for three consecutive days was extremely tiring.When I woke up, dressed and ate, what I served was lotus root and water chestnut.

In the past two years in Xiaozhong, it turned out that the two big maids beside his mother, Lianyuan and Lingjiao, were not serving in the inner room.Jia Yan is now becoming more and more like the head of the family. He looks at his two sisters, who have passed the exam, and when he puts down one thing in his heart, he is in the mood to think about other things.When his mother was alive back then, they always redeemed the servant girls on time or with a symbolic money from their own family, or they chose the best ones at home and betrothed the older maids around them.

Although my mother is gone now, as the head of the family, I should follow the previous method.It also means not to violate yin and yang, and not to delay girls. Didn't Bai Letian say, "You should not be a woman in life, and let others have a hundred years of suffering and happiness." Even so, let them live as well as possible, Jia Yan eats porridge , this can also be calculated as a way to accumulate Yin virtue for the mother after filial piety.

But there was no rush, after all, he was going to take the exam in April, so he still had to prepare for the exam.After breakfast, Jia Yan came to Xunyan Yushi's Mansion across the street, and Shen Quan greeted him with a smile when he saw him: "Congratulations, Young Master Biao!"

Jia Yan signaled A Yuan and Chang Sheng behind him to bring out their purses, and he said, "Old housekeeper, I have had you to take care of me for so many years, nothing else. This is the lucky money I passed the county exam. I must accept it!" said Then Han Changsheng also gave the purse he was carrying to the concierge and the steward who often walked around to see him.

Old Shen also knew the rules, so he smiled and thanked Jia Yan for accepting it. He still took Jia Yan to Lin Hai's study, and said on the way: "So that Master Biao knows that there is a visitor in the master's study. It is said that it belongs to Master and Master." Student, you are a genius!"

"Uncle Master's son's student?" Jia Yan was obsessed with this relationship and didn't turn the corner. When he got to the door and saw the burly back, he suddenly realized: Xu Zhi's master is Liang Ziyuan, and Liang Ziyuan is Liang Hongguang's son. My uncle is a student of Mr. Liang's first secondary school, isn't that the relationship!

"I've seen Uncle." Jia Yan saluted Lin Hai first, then cupped his fists and said, "Brother Zhengxing!"

Xu Zhi took a look: "Xiao Jia! Hey, uncle, this..."

"Hahaha, do you know each other?" Lin Hai laughed at the surprised expressions of the two, and then introduced: "Mr. If they come from the same school, they should be called brothers. Right, this is my nephew, he is young and needs your guidance."

Xu Zhi bowed: "Dare not to obey orders!"

When elder brother and younger brother called out, Xu Zhi thought of something, he asked: "Dare to ask my uncle, do you know if Brother Xiao Jia has any characters?" Judging by Jia Yan's age, he probably didn't have one, Xu Zhi understood this, no When it's time to go out to socialize, let alone the age, it's useless to pick words.Just like him, last year when the master ordered him to go out to take the exam, he chose the word "Zhengxing" for him, and hoped that he would go straight to the pure and right way!

If he didn't mention it, Lin Hai would have almost forgotten it, seeing Jia Yan going to the government for the test, that's all.If it goes well, you will be a scholar after the college examination, and you have to meet your classmates after entering school.At that time, although the world would be a little more lenient because of his age, he couldn't always let his peers call him by his first name, which was inappropriate.

However, if he added the title in advance, it would be too hasty for Lin Hai to calculate the time. This is also a major event in life, and he does not want to wrong his nephew.After Xu Zhi left, Lin Hai took Jia Yan to see Jia Min, and then sent him to the study to study by himself.Naturally, this kind of matter needs to be discussed with his wife. After Jia Min learned about it, she couldn't help laughing: "The college exam will only be held in April next year. Why don't we wait until the end of the government exam in April this year, and Ah Yan gets a good ranking, and then we can take it easy." Crown him."

Lin Hai imitated the water sleeves on the stage and saluted Jia Min: "Thank you, madam!"
