Because the three sweethearts were not at home, the whole family had not been able to live in peace for years. They either figured out where the three had gone, or urged people to go to Jinling to ask for news.

Mother Jia and Wang Zixuan were naturally more worried about Baoyu and Jialan. One was the phoenix of the family.

Aunt Zhao and Tanchun had to worry more about Jia Huan, firstly, he was usually a taciturn man, and secondly, they were afraid that the servants would not take him seriously as a bastard and bully him.

Aunt Zhao also didn't care about gossip anymore, she restrained her usual temperament, and served Jiamu and Wang Zixuan respectfully every day with lowered eyebrows, for fear of missing any news from Jinling.

Among the sisters, it goes without saying that Daiyu was worried about Baoyu, and the two eyebrows frowned even tighter. It happened that Tanchun was worried about Jia Huan, so the two often made an appointment to sit at Wang Zixuan's place together. How could Wang Zixuan not understand? The two were thinking, but they were afraid that Daiyu would worry too much, so they had to be comforted by Sister Feng and others.

People came from Jinling on the tenth day of the first lunar month, "The three masters have already arrived on the second day of the first lunar month."

Jia Zheng was also at home during the Chinese New Year, and hurriedly asked, "Is it safe?"

The visitor replied, "I'm a little seasick on the road around Sanye..."

Before the visitor finished speaking, Aunt Zhao rushed forward and asked, "Have you seen a doctor yet?"

Wang Zixuan frowned, and said a few words deliberately, so anxious, it seemed that Jia Zhu could still wrong Jia Huan, and it was obvious that she was anxious and concerned, so she held back her attack.

"Grandpa and grandma have already found a doctor, so there should be nothing serious." Then he said to Jia Zheng and Wang Zixuan, "Second Master Bao and Young Master Lan are both safe. Grandpa and grandma told the younger one to pass on the word that they will definitely take the three of you away." Master will take good care of it, so that old ladies, masters, and wives don’t have to worry.”

Jia Zheng then asked who he was looking for because he had to take the college examination to be a guarantor.

Seeing that Jia Zhu and his wife had arranged everything properly, Jia Zheng and Wang Zixuan felt relieved, rewarded him with money, and sent him away with some instructions.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the hospital examination. When everyone went to Jiamu's place to say hello in the morning, the spring breeze was still warm, but in the afternoon, it was snowing again.

Daiyu was planning to embroider a sachet for Baoyu, and was choosing the color with Little Red and Zijuan. Seeing that it was snowing, she couldn't help but worry. She wondered if it snowed in the south of the Yangtze River. to the examination room.

Zijuan is careful, and has already noticed that Bao Dai is different from others, so she joked: "Miss, you are concerned about it, and you are confused. We just came back from Jiangnan, and we don't know the climate in Jiangnan. It's hard to snow in the twelfth lunar month and the first month." , why is it snowing at this time?"

Daiyu didn't seem to have heard Zijuan's joke, so she frowned and said, "Who can understand God's thoughts? What if it snows? Even if it doesn't, it's still cold in spring, and Baoyu doesn't know how to take care of herself." A bit..." He sighed.

Compared to Daiyu, Wang Zixuan was even more worried, the rosary in her hand was spinning and turning, her brows were furrowed into a "Chuan".

Bao Ping met and said: "Madam, don't worry, the people around the three masters are all considerate. Needless to say, sister Xiren, Caiyun next to Huan'er is also thinking about the master, and Yue Ya'er next to Lan'er Smart and well-behaved, she won't be wronged by the three masters."

Wang Zixuan said with a smile: "I know this, but I don't worry about it. When Zhu'er was alone, I didn't sleep well for a few days. Now the three of them are suffering in that place. It's killing me. "

After a few days of restless sleep and food, I finally waited for the people from Jinling again, "Old lady, master, wife, grandma, girls, don't worry, the three masters are all safe."

Everyone looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Mother Jia said, "It doesn't matter if you fail the exam, as long as the children are safe."

Wang Zixuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this. In the past few years, she made up her mind to let the three of them study for the sake of their fame, but now she feels that as long as the three of them are safe, it doesn't matter whether they have fame or not.

When the three of Baoyu came back, the Rongguo Mansion had already received the news that all three of them had been selected as scholars.

Early this morning, the sisters didn't go to school anymore, they were all waiting in Jiamu's room. When they heard that they had got off the bus in front of the door, Jiamu and Wang Zixuan didn't care too much, so they got up and hurried to the second gate to meet them.

After seeing the three of them, Jia's mother hugged Baoyu as soon as she could, crying heartily. Wang Zixuan put her arms around Jialan, and she shed tears when she saw that he had lost a lot of weight.

Aunt Zhao looked at Jia Huan from behind and saw that he was also looking at her with tears in her eyes. She couldn't bear it anymore, and the tears rolled down, but she didn't dare to go forward. When Tanchun saw her, she stepped forward and grabbed Jia Huan. hand, asking questions and caring.

It was Sister Feng who wiped her tears and said, "Don't stand here, everyone, go back to the house and let the three brothers drink hot tea before talking."

Then everyone entered Jia Mu's house all the way, the three of them washed up, ate some tea and fruit snacks, and then talked about what they had seen and heard along the way.

Jia Lan was the youngest of the three, but his ranking was relatively highest, and he frowned when he said it, "Father said that I did not do well in the exam this time, and said that I didn't even have half of my usual level."

When Jia Zheng came back, he stared at this and said, "You bastard, how much better was his level back then? I'll just talk about you. Don't listen to her again. I think you are much better than him."

Wang Zixuan looked aside and couldn't help but smile, he didn't expect that Jia Zheng would sometimes protect his shortcomings and spoil his grandson.I also saw Daiyu and Baoyu talking and laughing in low voices, one dancing with high spirits, and the other listening seriously with a smile on their lips.

Jia Huan sat with Tanchun, and the siblings chatted lively.

She looked at the bustling people in the room, and suddenly her eyes were hot, and she was about to shed tears. She wanted to hide it quietly, but when Jia Mu saw it, she asked, "It's a happy day, second daughter-in-law, what are you doing?" gone?"

Wang Zixuan simply didn't hide it, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief while saying: "My daughter-in-law sees that these young people are promising, and she is happy for a while."

Jia Mu sighed with a smile: "No, your children and grandchildren are all good."

Mrs. Xing was not happy when she saw that the brothers in the second room were promising, and she was even more jealous when she heard Jia Mu's praise. Thinking of how many years she had been in the house without a son, and Jia Lian didn't get close to her, she felt even more sad, and she couldn't help but shed tears Yihong shed tears.

He just said: "The daughter-in-law is also happy to see Baoyu struggling..."

When it was time for dinner, Mother Jia ordered a banquet to be held for the three of them, and the Jiang family sent someone to say, "Our grandma asked the slaves to find out if the uncles are back. If they are, she will join my uncle tomorrow." Come back and sit down."

Wang Zixuan naturally agreed.

The next day, when Yuanchun's family came over, Baoyu smiled when he saw the elder sister, "Elder sister came just in time. It stands to reason that I greeted the old lady, and the first one should go to greet the elder sister."

Yuan Chun said: "Nonsense again, you should greet your teacher first."

Baoyu said: "It is precisely because I know this truth that I want to greet my eldest sister. Did my elder sister forget that my three-character classic was taught by my elder sister?"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and Yuan Chun pulled Baoyu to express his feelings again.Jiang Zhengqian went out to talk with Baoyu, Jia Huan and others in the study. Compared with Jia Zhu, he was better on the road of imperial examination, so he had to point out a few people.

In the inner courtyard, Yuan Chun heard Wang Zixuan talk about the journey of the three of them, and he also chanted: "These three are promising, mother should be relieved."

Wang Zixuan said with a smile: "It's only half of it. In the future, there will be spring and autumn museum selections..." She said with a sigh, "There is still a long way to go."

Yuan Chun said: "It's not long, it's not long. It seems like yesterday that my eldest brother was studying at home. Today, he has been an official for five or six years."

Wang Zixuan nodded with satisfaction, and said again: "In a blink of an eye, Baoyu is thirteen, and she knew to bring us a gift when she came back yesterday. The sisters are so happy, I forgot, and I will return it to you and the first brother I have brought things." Then he ordered Bao Ping, "Go and scoop up the gifts that Baoyu brought to the eldest aunt and the first brother."

Aquarius responded, and took out a book and a carved wooden box from the cabinet. Jiang Yi stretched out his hand for the wooden box, and when he opened it, it turned out to be an exquisite pocket watch, and he was so happy that he couldn't put it down immediately.

Yuan Chun took the book and opened it. Seeing that it was a rare piano score, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Baoyu is still the same as before. He is very careful with his sisters. I still remember that I love playing the piano."

Wang Zixuan nodded and said: "It is said that he doesn't care about human relations, but he is very thoughtful about it."

Yuan Chun asked about other things, and didn't go back until evening

In the next few days, Baoyu, Jia Lan, etc. were all busy outside. First they visited Jia Dairu and Li Shouzhong, and then they invited their relatives and friends. Wei Ruolan is waiting.

Baoyu is different from the others. He has to go to the Beijing Palace for a while, saying something like "borrowing the prince's auspicious words".

Since they will be participating in Qiu Wei next autumn, Jiang Zhengqian, Li Shouzhong and others will lead the three of them to make friends with great Confucian scholars in Beijing.

Although Baoyu has been able to pass the exam and knows the importance of economics in his official career, he still doesn't like to deal with these people who are full of economic knowledge, and he gets annoyed after a few times. to socialize.

I also heard that Qin Zhong died of illness a few years ago, so he was depressed, went to pay respects to his grave, and came back listless.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Jia Mu and Wang Zixuan couldn't bear to force him to go, but let him rest in the house for a few days, and it would not be too late to prepare for Qiu Wei when he had enough energy.
