[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

Jia Amnesty was pretending to be sick, but Jia's mother was really sick from anger, and she was very sick.

The anger was overwhelming, not only people fainted, but after waking up, they were confused, and their vision and hearing were also affected.

Although it is said that as people get older, they will have these problems, but if Jia Amnesty hadn't happened, Mother Jia might have been able to stay healthy for a few more years.

Now I heard from the doctor that even if Mother Jia recovers from her illness this time, her health will not be as good as before.

Yuanyang wiped the corners of her eyes, watched Lin Daiyu and Baoyu leave, sighed deeply, and went back to Jiamu's bed.

Jiamu had just drank the medicine that Lin Daiyu gave herself, and lay on the bed in a daze, wanting to sleep again, but she was still holding on.

Seeing the mandarin ducks coming back, she turned over, faced the outside, half-closed her eyes and said, "Do you really think I'm a fool? These two children really looked alike when they were young, and I wouldn't recognize them without talking. As soon as you open your mouth, you reveal your secrets."

As she talked, she seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago, when Baoyu and Baocong were still young, "... Baoyu is smart, she can recite poems at the age of three, and Baocong at that time It's still just whining...it's not the same as it is now."

He sighed again: "I didn't play this game when I was young, but when I grow up, I think of it and use it to fool me."

Yuanyang tucked Ye Jiamu's quilt, patted her hand, and said with a soft smile, "Where are you fooling you? The two masters only pretended to play when they saw that you were sick, to make you happy!"

Mother Jia snorted, closed her eyes, and said lazily, "What amuses me? I think Bao Cong has lost his temper again. He must have gotten into trouble and dare not come to see me...Mandarin duck, he's fine. Bar?"

If nothing happened, why didn't Bao Cong come to see her after she had been ill for three or four days?

Yuanyang said softly: "It's okay, I was punished by my husband to study behind closed doors, and I will come to see you in two days, old lady, don't worry."

"Don't worry, I believe everything you say. If you say he's fine, I'll believe you..." Jia Mu muttered and fell asleep.

Yuanyang looked at Jia Mu who was still very disturbed in her deep sleep, and thought that Bao Cong had been beaten by Jia Zheng, and his back was still injured, and his back was not straight, so he couldn't help crying, and wiped it away quickly.

Everyone is hiding the truth from Jia Mu, she must not reveal the truth.

Lin Daiyu went back to the yard, instead of going to the bedroom, she went directly to the small study.

In the small study, sure enough, Bao Cong was practicing calligraphy again.

Qingshuang waited on the side, and when Bao Cong finished writing a sheet, he took one out, put it aside to dry, and spread new paper.

Lin Daiyu sighed, and said softly: "Today, the old ancestor is still not in good spirits, and her illness is not very good. I see her worrying a lot, and it seems that Baoyu is not you."

Bao Cong's pen tip didn't even pause, and he finished the best stroke steadily, then let out a long breath, and said calmly: "It's okay, I'll go by myself tomorrow."

As he spoke, he smiled at Lin Daiyu, showing a set of white teeth, looking heartless.

Although Jia Zheng beat him with more than a dozen sticks, they were only wounded on the flesh.

Bao Cong is in good health, and got up after lying on the bed for a whole day.As long as he bears the pain and stands still, it won't be obvious that his back is full of injuries.

Aside from going to Mrs. Wang's place to make up tea with Lin Daiyu, he locked himself in the small study to practice calligraphy and meditate.

He didn't step out of the yard, and didn't go to visit Jiamu. Instead, he asked Baoyu to pretend to be him and go to pay Jiamu's greetings.

For three days in a row, breaking up, giving up, leaving... After writing hundreds of pages repeatedly, Bao Cong finally felt that he could calmly face Jia Mu's sick appearance.

Lin Daiyu shook her head helplessly, and wanted to go forward to read what Bao Cong had written, but Bao Cong hurriedly put down the pen, and pulled Lin Daiyu out while acting like a spoiled child: "Oh, I'm hungry, let's go eat."

Lin Daiyu was worried about Bao Cong's injury, so she scolded him softly: "What are you moving around? Go slowly, and be careful of the wound on your back!"

Bao Cong said with a playful smile: "It's nothing, you apply medicine to me every day, and I don't feel any pain anymore." Then he asked: "What are you eating today? Braised pig's trotters in soy sauce and braised prawns?"

Lin Daiyu hummed: "...drink porridge, your injury is not healed!"

Bao Cong suddenly had a bitter face, and drank the porridge again...

The next day, Baocong packed up and went to Jiamu's with Lin Daiyu.

Mother Jia recognized Bao Cong at a glance, and her spirits improved a lot. She greeted him and told him, "Although the imperial examination is important, don't overwork yourself. You also need to take care of your health. Throughout the ages, not many people can take the exam once." Up......"

In the whole Jia family, there is only one Jinshi, Jia Jing, who was admitted when Jia Jing was in his 40s.Apart from Jia Jing, there are no two Juren.

Jia's mother did not have much hope for Bao Cong's participation in the imperial examination this time, and Jia Zheng did the same, otherwise she would not have injured Bao Cong on the eve of the scientific examination.

Bao Cong only responded with a faint smile, and expressed condolences to Jia's mother, and then moved a few steps without showing any trace.

He casually looked out the window, as if he was looking at whether the wind blowing in would make Jia Mu catch a cold, as if he was studying a major national event.

But Lin Daiyu knew that he was just avoiding Jiamu's attention.

Looking at the sickly mother of Jia, and at the expressionless Bao Cong, Lin Daiyu only sighed slightly, suppressing the doubts in her heart.

Lin Daiyu fed Jia Mu a few mouthfuls of porridge, then left with Bao Cong.

Meeting Jia She in a hurry at the gate of the courtyard, Bao Cong didn't even look at him, and pulled Lin Daiyu out.

Jia She was so angry that he yelled from behind: "Is there no etiquette yet? You can't even be polite when you see your uncle?"

"Bao Cong?" Lin Daiyu looked at Bao Cong worriedly.

Bao Cong took a deep breath and pressed his heart fire.

It doesn't matter if he himself is scolded, but it doesn't matter if he brings Lin Daiyu into trouble.

So he turned around and made a casual bow neatly. This time, without looking back, he pulled Lin Daiyu away.

"It's really rude! Has the mouth been sewn up? They didn't even call me uncle! It's the opposite!" Jia She walked in cursing.

Yuanyang heard it, and hurried out to stop it, and said angrily: "Master, the old lady can't hear this, you better stop scolding!"

Sun Shaozu got the silver, Bao Cong was beaten, Jia's mother was angry and sick, but Jia Amnesty, the culprit, had nothing to do.

Yuanyang was very contemptuous in her heart, and even spoke with a certain tone.

Of course Jia She heard it, he gave Yuanyang a hard look, and cursed in his heart: This little hoof, there is something urgent today, let her go first.In the future, he will clean up sooner or later!

When he arrived in front of Jia's mother, Jia Amnesty immediately became a dutiful son, unlike the fierce look on his face just now.

"Old Ancestor, how do you feel today? How many mouthfuls of porridge have you eaten? Do you want to eat something else?" Jia Amnesty asked worriedly.

Mother Jia was very useful, but she didn't forget the mess he caused, so she said with a straight face: "I'm fine, so I don't need you to come and see it every day. You should go back to your yard and reflect. What are you doing when you come out? You want to cause trouble again. ?"

Yes, Jia Amnesty was grounded by Jia Mu.

But in the name of a filial son, he said that he would go to Jia's mother's yard to serve soup and medicine, so he could still stroll in Jia's mansion several times a day.

Mother Jia can't do anything about him, she can't say that he cares about her health, can she?

Who in the world can say that it is not good for a person who feeds medicine and food in front of the old mother?

Jia Mu can only go with him.

But Jia Amnesty had other things to say today, he looked at Mother Jia's face, and seeing that she was still energetic, he said slowly: "Old Ancestor, I have something to tell you today, Just don’t worry if you’ve heard it.”

When Jia's mother heard such words now, she panicked. She looked at Jia Amnesty, her complexion became ugly, and her breathing was not smooth.

"what's up?"

"Mother, don't worry, it's not about our house, it's about Dong's house!" Seeing that Jia Mu's expression was wrong, Jia She hurriedly explained.

He was still very afraid that Mother Jia might make a mistake. After all, with Mother Jia around, the treatment he received as a first-class general was almost exactly the same as that of the Duke.

If something happened to Jia's mother, the Jia family and his status would plummet.

After all, the East Mansion was separated by a floor, and Mother Jia felt a little more at ease, and motioned for Jia Amnesty to continue talking.

Jia She then said slowly: "It's Big Brother Jia Jing from the Eastern Mansion. I heard that he was contemplating alchemy in the alchemy shop a few days ago. There was a little accident during alchemy. The alchemy furnace... exploded."

"The alchemy furnace exploded again?" Jia's mother was only a little surprised. After all, Jia Jing's alchemy practice had accidents not once or twice.

She then asked, "But where did the explosion go? Is it serious?"

"Don't hurt your arms and legs, right?"

Jia She said hesitantly, "Yes...the person is gone."

Mother Jia was stunned, her heart froze, and she struggled to sit up.Yuanyang hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

Jia Mu excitedly said, "What did you say?"

Jia She nodded and said in a low voice, "He's gone. Nephew Zhen and Brother Rong went to pick him up. Now that the white flags have been hung in the mansion over there, we have to get ready here too, and go to help worship him." .”

Jia Amnesty also said something in a low voice, but Mother Jia couldn't hear clearly.

She only waved her hand wearily and asked Jia She to tell Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian to prepare the things that everyone in the West Mansion needed and go to the East Mansion to express their condolences.

It's really a blessing, and misfortunes never come singly.

As soon as Jia's mother was old, she couldn't listen to death.Now that he suddenly knew that Jia Jing was gone, he felt empty and panicked.

The only Jinshi in Jia's family is gone...

The funeral was held in a grand manner, and the East Mansion notified all the people who could be notified, and arranged a 49-day memorial day, and then sent Jia Jing to Tiekan Temple.

Bao Cong only went to worship once the day before, and then he was busy preparing for the imperial examination, and no one said anything to him.

After all, one Jinshi is gone, and the Jia family urgently needs another Jinshi to fill the gap.

If there is no Jinshi, multiple Juren is fine!

Even though everyone didn't expect much from Bao Cong before, but now they are all anxious, hoping that Bao Cong can pass the exam in one go.

Bao Cong didn't pay attention to other people's ideas, and only occasionally went to Zhou Ji's place to ask for advice and review. When he came back, he dug out the strategies and theories he had written before, studied and revised them with Lin Daiyu, and recited them one by one.

Although not full of confidence, this review is considered efficient.

On the day of the imperial examination, Mrs. Wang got up early in the morning to pray to Buddha, and urged Wang Xifeng and Lin Daiyu to check again and again what Bao Cong had brought into the examination room.

With a straight face, Jia Zheng sent Bao Cong to the entrance of the examination room together with Baoyu and Jia Lian. It took a long time before he asked, "How's the injury on your back?"

Now he really regretted it a bit, why he hit Bao Cong more than a dozen sticks just for the sake of breath.

But after all the fights, it's useless to regret it.

Bao Cong just shook his head calmly and said, "It's okay."

As he said that, he saluted Jia Zheng, took his bookcase and queued up for inspection.

Seeing Bao Cong's cold look, Jia Zheng flicked his sleeves angrily, and went back to the carriage without caring whether he had entered the examination room or not.

It was just beating him up, yet he still held grudges after such a long time, and didn't even say a few words to him!

He is my father!

Is he still going to apologize to his son in a low voice?

He did nothing wrong!

Jia Lian and Baoyu saw that his father and son were fighting again, and they dared not speak. They just watched Baocong enter the examination room, and then rode back to Jia's mansion with Jia Zheng's carriage.

Bao Cong, who entered the examination room, followed the soldiers all the way in.

He looked around for a while, and after confirming that the toilet was far away from his seat, he breathed a sigh of relief, touched the jade ring belt around his waist, and smiled.

Sure enough, with the luck bonus of this belt, he was also lucky.

With strength and luck, the exam will definitely go well.Even though there were plenty of talents in the imperial examination, Bao Cong felt that he had a high chance of passing the examination.

Of course, he wouldn't expect that, as in the previous dream, he would get No. 1 in the exam all at once, and become a Tanhua Lang or something in the spring.

Those are all dreams... Bao Cong murmured in his heart, opened the exam questions that had just been handed out, and suddenly froze.

This, what is this?
