Small drill wind patrols the red building

After Jia She gave orders to the servant beside him, he slapped his head and said, "I've been busy this day, but I forgot to send a letter to Xibianer, go, our house is double happy, and I will also tell the old lady to cheer her up. "

Although the two families are basically inseparable from each other now, in the eyes of outsiders, two Jia characters cannot be written in one stroke. It's time for people to talk.

When Mrs. Jia heard the news, she was not happy at all, and she was very responsive. If such a good thing belonged to Jia Zheng and his wife, Jia's mother would be happy to throw a big banquet, but if it came from Jia Amnesty, she would only have Disgusted and disgusted.

Just when she said she understood, and waved her hand to let the messenger go down, the gatekeeper who enlarged the west corner gate and re-made their gate crawled in and said: " The old lady is not well, and Master Zhu caught the cold and was brought back."

Mother Jia was already unhappy because of Jia Amnesty's announcement, but when she heard the servant say something bad about her, she was about to get angry before she realized what happened next: "What did you say? What's wrong with Pearl?"

Seeing Mother Jia's expression of wanting to eat people, the boy was so frightened that his mouth was a little awkward, but he could only force himself to speak clearly: "Returning to the old lady, Uncle Zhu caught a cold when he went to Jinling to participate in the provincial examination. When you can get up a little bit, go back."

"It was very windy at sea, and Master Zhu hurried on his way before the wind and cold had healed. It became more and more serious. At this moment, everyone was burned out, and was carried back by the servants. His wife and Grandma Zhu saw the death of Master Zhu. Situation, already fainted."

When Jia's mother heard it, her eyes were also darkened, but she was able to resist things after all, and hurriedly said in a repeated voice: "Why don't you hurry and invite Doctor Hu to come over and show Brother Zhu, and also, hurry to the yamen to tell Your master is back."

After finishing speaking, leaning on a cane and supported by a mandarin duck with one hand, he walked to the house where Jia Zhu and his family of three lived in the backyard, which was Jia Lian's yard before.

The boy sent by Jia Amnesty, when he heard the report from the doorman here, took advantage of no one's attention, shrank himself aside, watched the excitement quietly, and now everyone went out , the boy quickly ran back to his mansion.

Although Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian hoped that the two families would never interact with each other, they would not dare to be unfilial in front of outsiders if Jia's mother was alive.

According to Jia Daishan's written evidence before his death, they gave up the entire area from the West University Courtyard to the West Corner Gate for Jia's mother to use as a retirement home. Therefore, they simply built a wall here to completely separate the two sides. .

However, in order to show filial piety, they had to leave a moon gate in the corridor between the West Courtyard and the West Courtyard, but Jia Amnesty specially sent four caretakers to watch the gate in rotation.

The two women on duty, who were on duty, were fanning the wind with cattail fans while happily discussing how they had won two months' monthly money for nothing. At this moment, the messenger boy slipped away. return.

A mother-in-law chuckled: "Look at your worthless appearance. Good luck, why do you still treat yourself like you were kicked out by a dog?"

Another woman also asked curiously: "The old lady is always generous, how much reward did you get this time?"

The boy turned his head and spat and said: "Yeah, you can put it down, I didn't think about getting any rewards when I went, didn't you see the time when the old lady heard that our uncle was awarded a Jinshi background and got a good job?" , that face is heavy."

However, the boy just said that, he didn't tell the two wives about Master Zhu's affairs later on, the old lady's attitude towards their family is no secret, but the matter of Master Zhu is not something he can talk about. He has to go back and report to the master and the young master.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian were not surprised by the old lady's attitude, but they didn't expect Jia Zhu to be brought back. However, they didn't plan to take care of it, especially because their brother was born today, so they couldn't let it happen.

Wang Ziteng was not surprised by Jia Zhu's situation. He still knew this big nephew, he was proud and arrogant, and he had some ability in reading, but he was just studying hard.

In the past, after Jia Baoyu was born, Wang Ziteng saw that Mrs. Wang was ignoring this elder nephew who was weak due to premature birth, so he planned to take him in as a disciple.

These days, the world pays attention to the relationship between the monarch and the teacher, and the relationship between master and student is no different from the relationship between father and son. However, when he suggested that it is unwise for Jia Zhu to study so hard, it is better to use the quota of the shadow prison to participate in the annual Take the imperial examination, and then enter the imperial court as an official.

The situation of the Imperial Examination is somewhat similar to that of the Regular Examination. However, the Imperial Examination is different from special exams such as the Regular Examination. It is the same as the Imperial Examination. The emperor personally drafts the exam questions, and the Guozijian's course work is recognized.

Therefore, most of the students who pass the imperial examination will be sent to the Hanlin Academy to do odd jobs temporarily. If they can persist in the future, they will take part in the same Jinshi examination every year, and it will be easy to be promoted to the same Jinshi.

With Wang Ziteng having the status of mentor and apprentice, and also Wang Ziteng's nephew, Jia Zhu's career in the future is actually not difficult. After two or three years, Wang Ziteng can help him transfer to a county magistrate or something like that. , Slowly accumulate achievements.

This is a great thing, but Jia Zhu felt that Wang Ziteng was not optimistic about his success in the imperial examination. Jia Zheng also wanted to be born in the imperial examination because he loved reading since he was a child.

Unexpectedly, because his father's legacy was published when he was dying, the emperor gave him an additional title of chief officer because of his sympathy for his predecessors. Because he was not an official in the imperial examination and was squeezed out by his colleagues everywhere, it was the prince who spared no effort, so he was promoted to the Ministry of Industry Yuanwailang, let him always worry about this.

Therefore, Jia Zheng's attitude was also very firm. He hoped that his eldest son, Jia Zhu, could accomplish what he had not done, and pass the imperial examination in an upright manner.

As for Mrs. Wang, she didn't know what she was thinking, but she actually felt that Wang Ziteng wanted to use this to control Jia Zhu for the rest of her life, so that Jia Zhu would always be grateful to him, and then he had to support the couple until their death.

Although the three of them didn't say these words, Wang Ziteng is a master with empty eyelashes. When he saw Jia Zhu hurriedly went to Li Wan, the daughter of the Imperial College to offer wine, he immediately felt their thoughts. Seventy-seven, eighty-eight.

Wang Ziteng found it funny and angry, but he didn't say anything else. Afterwards, Wang Xifeng gave birth to a sick daughter. She didn't even dare to name her, for fear that she couldn't support her and felt even more uncomfortable. After that, her stomach remained silent. Only then did Teng acquiesce that his nephew Wang Ren would be his heir in the future, and he would have both his wife and husband.

Jia Amnesty and Wang Ziteng drank and chatted together, Jia Lian sat at the bottom and helped pour the wine to accompany the chat, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing waited for Mrs. Xing to go to Mrs. Xing's yard after Wang Xifeng fell asleep, and did not go to join in the fun with these stinky men .

Mrs. Wang knew that Mrs. Xing was not very knowledgeable, so she accommodated her and told her about trivial things like clothes and jewelry popular in the capital, and the two families got along very well.

They were having a good time here, but Jia Zheng's room on the west side was in chaos.

When Jia's mother arrived, Mrs. Wang and Li Wan had already been woken up by servants. At this moment, Mrs. Wang was crying and howling, while Li Wan knelt in front of Jia Zhu's bed in a daze. Holding the frightened Jia Lan in his arms, tears streamed down his face.

None of the masters could pick up the rack, and the servants were scurrying around like headless chickens, making Jia Mu so angry that her heart was pounding.

Barely suppressing her anger, Jia Mu slammed her crutches on the ground and said, "Shut up! Are there any rules for each of you? My brother Zhu is still fine, who told you to Come to mourn?"

Hearing what Jia Mu said, everyone seemed to have found the backbone. Wang Xiang and Jia Mu, Jia Mu walked to Jia Zhu's bed while telling everyone what to do.

Touching Jia Zhu's hot forehead, Jia's mother said angrily: "My son went to take part in a provincial examination, why did he become so ill? What about the person who went to serve? This is how the master serves?"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she said fiercely, "Bring me the servant who is going to serve Zhu'er. If you don't understand today, see if I sell your whole family to mine!"

Those young servants were kneeling outside the door, and after being brought in right now, they hurriedly begged for mercy while explaining tremblingly: "Madam, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

"It's because our uncle was unlucky this time. During the provincial examination, he got the Yi Chou room. It rained continuously for three consecutive days. He had to endure the infestation of foul smell every day, unable to eat, and had to think about articles exhausting his mind. Kao Ri was carried out."

"Although Steward Jin has invited the best doctor in Jinling City to wait for him, his medical skills are really not comparable to that of the imperial physician. Therefore, the uncle has not seen much improvement. The doctor said that only if he finds it in Beijing and invites the imperial physician to help him, maybe he can do it." It's improving."

"So, after the little ones asked the uncle for instructions, they took the century-old ginseng given by the old lady before, and helped the uncle hang his life all the time, so they hurried back all the way, but halfway, the uncle became more and more serious. Since yesterday From the beginning, people began to burn and become confused."

Regardless of whether it is the rural examination or the general examination, there are a few rooms that are depressing, such as being exposed to the sun every day, but the most disturbing ones are the few rooms near the place of reincarnation of the five grains.

Think about it, for nine days, being dizzy from the smell of the hut every day, who would have the heart to take the exam, especially when Jia Zhu was caught up in the rainy day.

People who have lived in rural areas with dry toilets will probably know how ecstasy is caused by the overwhelming smell in rainy days. This is still the reincarnation of three to five hundred people every day, which is really a test. mind.

But this really depends on luck, even if the descendants of princes and ministers refer to it, they can only pinch their noses to recognize such a situation, because no one dares to influence the scientific research, otherwise, it is not decapitation It's that simple.

After all, Mother Jia is more knowledgeable than Mrs. Wang. Seeing what Mrs. Wang had to say, she said directly: "Anyway, if you didn't take good care of the master, you all deserve to die!"

"However, for the sake of your hard work, no one will go to the house where you will receive twenty boards, and you will be praying for Brother Zhu!"

Several people were grateful that they survived the catastrophe. They kowtowed to thank Jia Mu sincerely, and then they were dragged down obediently.

Mrs. Wang was a little unwilling, but Jia Mu looked at her sharply and said, "Shut up! Brother Zhu's body is the most important thing now!"
