"Today is the time for Jue Sanye to try to release the rankings. You have to be 12 points ready to serve, do you hear me?"

"Grandpa Lai, don't worry, we all know the seriousness of the matter." A young boy who looked very clever hurried forward to please.

Butler Lai didn't say anything but just glanced at him.

It was still early, and he could wait a little longer before going to the gate of the Gongyuan to look at the imperial list. In fact, in his heart, it didn't matter whether or not Third Master Jue could win.After all, even the number one scholar is only a sixth-rank official.The Jia family is a big family, and ordinary officials of the fourth and fifth ranks may not have the opportunity to visit the door.

It's just that the master in the mansion attaches great importance to it, or the old lady attaches great importance to it, so no matter what they think in their hearts, they must act as if they attach great importance to it.

"Wait a while, you two will go to see the imperial list with me. I'm getting old, so you need to work harder." Butler Lai, who had squeezed through once, decided to let the strong young people go to see it.Anyway, he is the only one who can report to the old lady in the end, and at most he will get a reward at that time, and give them two more points. Anyway, at his level, the reward is not based on money but on face.

The two selected servants were naturally full of joy, although it is very likely that they contributed a lot, but they could not ask for rewards in front of the master.But it is also a great thing for them to be able to please Mr. Lai.

So both of them happily agreed, and the envious and jealous eyes of the other servants beside them made them feel more at ease.

Honor Hall

This time, Jia She came to Jia Mu's side very early and waited for the news of the test with Jia Mu. Jia Jue watched Jia She's flattering Jia Mu intentionally or unintentionally, and felt hesitant.

Regardless of Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's character, they both respected and feared Jia's mother.According to the description in the original book, Mother Jia favored the youngest of the two sons.Even the Rongxi hall was given to the second room to live in, and it was Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang who entertained guests outside.This is an insult to Jia Amnesty, the eldest son of the eldest son.

The only difference is that he didn't directly announce that he was incompetent and unfilial, and that he was not liked by his mother.

However, what Jia She did was to put up with all this anger. Jia Jue would not believe how filial Jia She was to Mother Jia. When Jia Mu was still alive, she had the idea of ​​playing mandarin ducks.

Jia Amnesty's purpose in accepting the mandarin ducks was for Jia's mother's private property. Before his mother died, his son started arguing about her private property. No one would believe his filial piety.

Jia Jue felt that Jia Amnesty might have many things in Jia Mu's hands, and Jia Mu was strong and had an advantage in identity, so Jia She had no choice but to be filial.

Jia Amnesty flattered Jia's mother, but Jia's mother did not refuse, she had completely given up on this son, and now all she wanted was for him not to hinder Jue'er.Thinking of this, Jia's mother began to think about arranging a few people around Jia She, so that she would not know what happened to him when the time came.

Thinking of her eldest son, Jia's mother thought of her younger son.If you say that you hate iron but can't make steel to your eldest son, it's because you can't see it.So it is more powerless for the youngest son Jiamu.

Not to mention her and the master, the Jia family has never seen such rigid children even in the past few generations.Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry from the fifth grade, can work for more than ten years without moving his home.It's fine if he doesn't go up, he's still going down, and now he's just a sixth-rank master.

He has lost all face of the Jia family for several lifetimes.

After the entire army of the son's generation was wiped out, Jia's mother set her sights on the grandson's generation.

The reason why Mother Jia wants to raise all her grandchildren under her knees is because she knows that her two sons are unreliable.The two daughters-in-law were even more speechless.

Jia Zhu looked fine when she was young, but after Jia Lian couldn't support her, Jia's mother put all her hopes on Jia Zhu.And because I saw that the father and son of Dafang are both of the same virtue, I am more partial to the second wife.

Unexpectedly, when Xing's pregnancy was about to give birth, she had a dream of "unicorn giving birth" for a whole month.So Mother Jia, who didn't care much about the child because she didn't like the Xing family, put the child under her knees after the birth.After all, she doesn't think that Xing's background can raise a child well.

Thankfully she did.

Mother Jia glanced at the young man sitting beside her. Although he was young, his every move was full of elegance.

"Grandmother?" Jia Jue noticed the gaze on her.

"Time flies so fast. Jue'er was so small when she was just born, and she has grown up in the blink of an eye." The man in Daqing Dynasty was 13 years old, and Jia's mother said that Jia Jue had grown up, but it didn't matter. wrong.

"The grandson has been raised by his grandmother for more than ten years." Jia Jue looked at Jiamu with admiration. Jiamu has been very kind to him since he was a child. No one can be ruthless than grass and trees, even if he has memories of his previous life. , but he was an orphan in his previous life and never felt the love from his elders.

Jia's mother's love for more than ten years has already made him regard her as one of the most important people.In this world, in this Jia mansion, the two people Jia Jue cares most about are Mother Jia and Mrs. Xing.

The reason why he wants to make money so hard is also to ensure the life of Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing when Jia's family is in turmoil.

Although Jia's mother passed away when Jia's family ransacked the house in the original book, but he has already traveled through time, who knows what will happen in the end.Isn't the fate of Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang different now?

We can't let Jia's mother suffer when she gets old.

"You are a good boy. Grandma has raised many children over the years, and you are the best among them. Don't push yourself too hard in this test. Even if you don't get it right, you are still young." Mother Jia has already started I vaccinated Jia Jue, because I was afraid that Jia Jue's youth pride would not be able to bear the blow of failure.

"Grandmother, grandson knows." Jia Jue nodded.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the room became more and more tense.

The juniors all sat obediently and did not dare to speak, even Wang Xifeng, who was the most eloquent in the past, was sitting at Madam Xing's lower head solemnly at this time.This position is only available when she is pregnant with a child.

"Why is there no news yet?" Jia Amnesty, who was the most impatient, couldn't sit still anymore, got up and walked back and forth in the room, still chattering.

Jia Mu closed her eyes and meditated as if he didn't exist, but Jia Jue could feel Jia Mu's tension from Jia Mu's clenched hands.Then look at Mrs. Xing who was sitting on the side and kept looking out.Jia Jue became the most unhurried.

"Old lady, old lady is overjoyed!" Suddenly, faint shouts reached all the ears in the room.

"It's Housekeeper Lai, old lady." Yuanyang said beamingly to Mother Jia.She had already heard the word Daxi, and it was obvious that Third Master Jue had hit the mark.Yuanyang couldn't help but glanced at Jia Jue, seeing that he was still calm and composed, the words "General's Wind" suddenly appeared in Yuanyang's mind.

Mother Jia obviously heard it too. Although she is old, she is healthier than many young people.

"Hurry up, help me over there." Mother Jia couldn't sit still anymore, she got up and was about to go to the door.

"Grandmother." Jia Jue immediately grabbed the old lady's arm.

"The old lady is overjoyed, the elder is overjoyed, the third master Jue has passed the exam! He is the top Huiyuan!" Butler Lai's cadence of voice fully demonstrated his 'surprise'.

After hearing this, Jia Mu said a few good words happily.

"Jue'er, you are really the unicorn of the Jia family! You are the ancestor's blessing, the ancestor's blessing!" Jia's mother was so happy that she shed tears of joy.

On the other hand, Mrs. Xing was already crying, and Wang Xifeng comforted her.

Jia She was so happy that he jumped three feet high on the spot: "Quick, quick, Lian'er, go to the door and let people set off firecrackers and distribute happy money. After a while, the people who announce the good news will arrive. Go and entertain."

"Yes, sir."

All of a sudden, Jia's family seemed to be bustling with excitement, and there were wave after wave of servants who came to congratulate the old lady.

These people are different from the Lai family. The younger generations of the Lai family have been let out by Mother Jia.No longer a slave, Lai Shangrong, the grandson of Nanny Lai in the original book, seems to be the county magistrate with the help of Mother Jia.But later the Jia family was in trouble and the Lai family did not help.

He was just the son of an ungrateful servant, Jia Jue would not let such a person have official status.According to the laws of Daqing, even if a slave is released from slavery, the three generations of his descendants cannot take the imperial examination to be an official.

The Jia family spent resources to push such a person to the top, naturally wanting him to help the Jia family when they are in trouble.It's just that the people in Jia's family don't have a good eye. Both Jia Yucun and Lai Shangrong are villains.In particular, Jia Yucun is simply a representative of the white-eyed wolf.

Jia Jue received the good news, and the Jia family received many gifts from family friends.

Four princes and eight princes are not counted, and many honorable families have also sent gifts.Jia Mu and Jia Amnesty have already started thinking about having a big banquet.

"Mother, Jue'er has already won five yuan in a row. If there is no accident, the emperor will definitely give him a champion. By then, Jue'er will be the sixth yuan winner. There are only three people who have won the sixth yuan and the first prize." Jia She said excitedly. Tell Jia Mu.

"The emperor is a benevolent monarch, and he pays attention to reputation. As long as Jue'er does not make mistakes, he is [-]% sure of the number one." Jia's mother is also happy. Nowadays, the saint is old and wants a good reputation. A feat of martial arts.Jia's mother believes that as long as everything goes well, Jue'er will definitely win the champion and come back.

"Mother, for such a big happy event, many honorable families who don't associate with us have sent gifts over. Shouldn't we send them a post to have a meal at home? Now that Jue'er has won the Hui Yuan, the scale of the banquet It must not be younger than the time of Jieyuan."

"You're right. It's all about human relationships. In the future, Jue'er will always need someone to help her when she enters the officialdom."

Jia Jue heard that Jia Amnesty and Jia Mu were about to throw a big feast, so she had no choice but to say it.

"Grandmother, father, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"What's wrong, what do you know as a child?" Jia She reprimanded Jia Jue's words indifferently.

"My dear grandson doesn't understand. You have never been an official, so what do you know? Jue'er, if you have anything to say, speak up boldly." When Jia Mu heard Jia Amnesty talk about Jia Jue, she immediately quit.

Jia Jue is not angry either, he already knows the IQ and EQ of this cheap father thoroughly, and if you are angry with a fool, you are not even as good as a fool: "Grandmother, master, grandson comes from an honorable family, and civil servants always There is a estrangement, and they don't want the first and possibly the only "six yuan and first" champions in the Daqing Dynasty to come from the noble family of military generals. If we really celebrate with great fanfare, then we will give the handle to those people Come on. Wen Chen’s mouth is the most vicious, it’s okay if someone says he’s arrogant and self-satisfied, but it’s bad if he is misunderstood that we form a clique or something.”

"It's better to wait for the grandson to finish the imperial examination and get the result. If he gets what he wants, grandma and father can celebrate as much as they want. If someone interferes with it, the grandson will be able to gain a foothold in the future. In fact, six yuan and the first What is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the career of the grandson in the future."

Once Jia Jue finished speaking, not only Jia's mother but also Jia She was as quiet as a chicken.Is what Jia Jue said unreasonable? No, on the contrary, what he said is very reasonable.

Jia Amnesty looked at the son standing in front of him who was talking, and wondered for a moment if this was his son.However, a 14-year-old boy can still think so carefully when he finds out that he will be in high school.

What's the matter with the feeling that the opposite is not a son but an old man?

Mother Jia nodded her head in agreement after hearing Jia Jue's words.

"Jue'er is right. Let's not be in a hurry. Don't let people outside laugh at our house for being impatient. Boss, go and write letters to those old relatives yourself, saying that Jue'er is going to prepare for the imperial examination, and the house is inconvenient to entertain guests. After Jue'er finishes the palace exam, let's entertain the distinguished guests and make amends. As for those honorable families who have no relationship, ask the housekeeper to return a similar gift. This way, people can't be caught at critical times. The emperor is suspicious now. , we can't just crash in."

"Yes, mother."

"There are also servants in the family. Pass on my words and let them pay attention to their words and deeds. If something goes wrong and affects Jue'er, don't blame the old lady for being rude."

"Yes, mother."

Seeing that Mother Jia didn't mean to be joking in her words, Jia Amnesty nodded her head in agreement.I also reminded myself that the old lady was not joking, and he didn't want to be scolded bloody anymore.

After receiving the order from the old lady, Wang Xifeng, who thought she was about to get busy, was taken aback for a moment.

"Thank goodness, grandma has a big belly, so it's not suitable for being busy. It's fine if the banquet isn't held." Ping'er clasped his hands happily.

"I don't know what happened. With Brother Jue's favor, shouldn't the old lady hold a big banquet, Ping'er, go and find out."

"Yes, grandma."

"...Brother Jue must be the one who made this point. He is the only one in the mansion who can be sober." Wang Xifeng said firmly after hearing the news Ping'er had inquired about.

"Master Jue?"

"It must be Brother Jue, people are really incomparable..." Wang Xifeng didn't mean to explain to Ping'er, she had a big belly and was lethargic on weekdays.

Naturally, Jia Jue was preparing for the imperial examination in Qinghuiyuan. Although Jia's mansion did not hold a big banquet, Jia's mother would not stop people who came to congratulate her, so these days, no matter whether it was the front or the backyard of the Jia family, they came here. Few people.

And most of the people who came to Jia's house had one purpose, which was to secretly talk about Jia Jue's marriage and to find out.

A 14-year-old Jinshi, probably six yuan, Jia Jue is a favorite in the eyes of many people.Once the girl in the family marries in, she becomes the official wife.Although their families are all honorable, there is only one title in the family, and many of them are white except for the eldest son.If the daughter of the family does not want to marry into a poor family, then marrying these second sons and youngest sons, if they do not live up to expectations, when the brothers inherit the family business, the whole family will be for nothing and become side branches.

Just like Jia Zheng, if Duke Rong hadn't asked him to be an official before his death, I'm afraid Mrs. Wang's previous pleasant orders would not have been there.Jia Yuanchun didn't even have the qualifications to enter the palace as a maidservant.

Another example is Wang Xifeng, who didn't have any orders after marrying Jia Lian, and she was a head short when interacting with officials and wives.

Mother Jia attached great importance to Jia Jue's marriage. She thought that her grandson would become an official in the future, so the best marriage partner would be a girl from Wenchen's family.So everyone who came to ask was rejected by her because Jia Jue was still young.

Fortunately, Jia Jue is indeed still young, and the marriage is not in a hurry.
