[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

A few months later, Jia Lian, who had gone to Yangzhou, came back. There was no time to change clothes or report to Sister Feng that she was safe, so she hurried to the old lady's yard.

Unfortunately, when the old lady saw that Jia Lian was alone, she was furious, "Why didn't you bring Yu'er with you?"

On the contrary, Wang Xifeng, who happened to be in the old lady's room, saw Jia Lian's dusty face with a weathered look on her face. First, she felt distressed, and secretly blamed Jia Lian, why didn't she know how to take good care of herself!

Jia Lian gave Wang Xifeng a look of don't worry.

When facing the old lady, their complexion changed, with a bitter look. They could ignore the filial piety of the cousin of the Lin family, but the uncle of the Lin family could not.

"Old Ancestor, it's not that I don't want to bring my cousin of the Lin family, but that my uncle and cousin of the Lin family don't want to. Uncle Lin has something to say. My cousin has already lost her mother's teaching. If she doesn't keep filial piety at home, she will come here in a hurry. Capital, not only unfilial, but also a collision with the ancestors."

At the same time, he thought in his heart that Uncle Lin's thoughtfulness was the most thoughtful. Cousin Lin had already become the eldest daughter of a bereaved mother because of her aunt's death. If Cousin Lin came to Rongguo Mansion regardless of her aunt's filial piety, people outside would probably look down on Cousin Lin even more.Moreover, Uncle Lin was also afraid that Cousin Lin's filial piety would come to the Rongguo Mansion and some people in the Rongguo Mansion would be displeased.

"Yu'er, my poor Yu'er." The old lady began to cry again.

Min'er passed away, but Lin Ruhai had just passed the year of his destiny, and Min'er never left a son for him. For the sake of his heir, Lin Ruhai would definitely remarry. As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. How will Yu'er live in the future?

Just thinking about it made the old lady feel heartbroken, and she began to mourn Min'er's early death and Daiyu's loneliness in her heart.

Wang Xifeng was worried that the old lady would scold Jia Lian, so she quickly asked, "Then Uncle Lin, did you say what will happen to my cousin after her filial piety expires?"

"Uncle Lin said that Daiyu will be sent to Rongguo Mansion after Daiyu's filial piety is over," Jia Lian said hastily.

"Okay, okay, it's better to come to Rongguo Mansion." The old lady said.

Jia Lian did not agree with the old lady's words. After arriving in Yangzhou, when he saw Uncle Lin, he was shocked by his uncle's grief-stricken expression. He saw his uncle's deep love for his aunt and kindness for Daiyu. He didn't think that Cousin Lin Life will be difficult at home.

On the contrary, as someone who used to live with the old lady, he deeply felt that it might not be easy to live with the old lady, especially the girls and women around the old lady all had snobbish eyes.

It's just a pity that Cousin Lin, as the eldest daughter who lost her mother, must come to Rongguo Mansion for future planning.

Even if she knew from Jia Lian how much the Lin family's uncle valued Daiyu, the old lady Jia was still worried. She was afraid that the little flesh and blood left by Jia Min would be treated harshly by Lin Ruhai, who would send five or six people to the Lin family in a year. back to visit people.

Because the Jia family has no girls of the right age, and it was another year's general election, they were ignored by the Jia family. Just listening to the excitement of sending people to the election outside, Mrs. Wang couldn't help talking about Yuanchun twice behind her back. It has been many years since he entered the palace, but no news has come out.

Soon after the general election, the imperial examination was held. Even though the whole Rongguo Mansion was still quiet, the small courtyard where Aunt Guan lived was not peaceful.

"Cong'er should be fine, right?" Aunt Guan was most worried about Jia Cong's body. Cong'er was born prematurely and was born weak, and it took a lot of energy to recover later.But the imperial examination is the most frustrating thing, and Jia Zhu of the second room was lost in the imperial examination.

"You're just worrying!" Jia She said bitterly. In fact, he was also worried. When Jia Cong was just born, he was afraid that the child would not be able to grow up.

Because Cong'er is going to take the imperial examination, Jia She is making a face for Cong'er today, and comes to take care of Auntie's yard and wait for news.

"It's just a child's test, Cong'er will be fine." Yingchun assured.

Of course, she didn't dare to make any promises. When Cong'er decided to take the imperial examination, Yingchun would train his mental quality from time to time. In addition, when the exam was half a year away, he would imitate the modern mock exams in the courtyard. A small shed for the imperial examination was built for Cong'er to take the exam.

From Cong'er's face full of collapse when he just came out of the shed, to barely supporting, and now his face does not change, and even Cong'er can find time to make a cup of tea leisurely during the exam, both physically and mentally, Cong'er is You're used to it and you're used to it.

"That's right, don't worry about Auntie Guan. With Cong'er's ability, not only can she come out well, but she can also get a good grade in the exam!" Wang Xifeng also said confidently.

Because of Yingchun's status in the mansion and Cong'er's ambition, Wang Xifeng has always been close to them, and they have been on good terms for the past few years.

"Where's Lian'er?" Jia She asked suddenly.

"Master went with Cong'er and never came back." Wang Xifeng said.

Since Cong'er was sensible, whether it was Cong'er herself, Yingchun, Aunt Guan, or Jia She, they all showed that Cong'er was focused on earning his own future through imperial examinations, and would not compete with Jia Lian for family property in Rongguo Mansion.

This made Jia Lian have a good impression of Cong'er, and he would always think about Cong'er when something happened, and take care of Cong'er.

Cong'er was also grateful for Jia Lian's care, and respected Jia Lian very much. He came and went, which made the relationship between the two brothers very good.

"Hey! Cong'er is still so young! It's so sad not to pass the exam. In fact, we should wait for three more years." Aunt Guan couldn't help but speak.

"Don't worry, Auntie, the child's exam is not difficult, and Cong'er also knows very well that he is still young, and he will take the exam in three years when he is older. This time, he will take it for fun." Yingchun comforted.

"Don't spoil him, 12 years old is not young, I think he was very relaxed in the first test, and the remaining two tests should not be difficult for him." Jia She can't forget Cong'er's first test. Sometimes, when others came out, they would look pale or exhausted, but after Cong'er came out, he talked and laughed with Jia Lian, as if he didn't want to have a meal.

This made him very proud, but no matter how proud he was, he would never show it on his face.

So, the next two games shouldn't be difficult for him, right?Think about Cong'er's age, 12 years old, even if he passed the examination of scholar, he is only 12 years old, a 12-year-old scholar!It's exciting to think about it, and it's not in vain that he gave up his old face many years ago to let brother-in-law Lin find a husband for Cong'er.

Although the husband said that Cong'er is not a problem at all, but the worst plan is that Cong'er's performance is abnormal this time, and he will only be 15 years old when he passes the exam next time. He Jia She can't study, but he has a son who can study. It's more proud of me than being able to study.

Hearing that the porter's servant was the first to announce the good news, saying that Second Master Cong had returned, they were overjoyed.

Aunt Guan hurriedly asked the boy, how does Cong'er look?

"Second Master and Uncle came back together, Second Master looked good, and walked away while talking with Uncle in good spirits!" The servant replied.

"Thank you, Amitabha!" Aunt Guan recited the Buddha happily.

"You bastards, there are sedan chairs in the house, why did you let Cong'er walk back." Jia She was overjoyed and did not forget to ask the crime.

"Master, the second master came back in a sedan chair, but he got out of the sedan chair after entering the mansion. The younger ones also said to let the second master come here as a sedan chair, but the second master said that he hadn't walked for several days and was so bored. Come down for a walk, the uncle also said that he will be happy with the second master." The young man said with a bitter face on purpose, he knew that the master would be happy when he said this.

The facts were as he had expected, when Jia She heard that Cong'er was in such good health, there was nothing to worry about, as long as he performed normally in the last childbirth test a few days later.

The gate of the mansion is not far from Dongkuayuan, and Jia Cong and Jia Lian walked in not long after the servant announced the good news.

Jia Amnesty, the head of the family, observed Jia Cong's physical condition, and saw that, as the boy said, he was in good health both physically and mentally. He tried his best to maintain a happy expression, nodded seriously, and said, "That's right. It's good enough to finish answering the questions. You're still young. If you don't pass this time, you can take the exam again next time."

Jia Cong almost laughed out loud, how can the parents say that this time is not good and there will be a next time before the exam is over?

If you don't know, being a parent doesn't value exams at all!But those who are close to them all know that Jia She has a knot in his heart. He feels that the reason why he is not welcomed by the old lady is that he is not as good at studying as Jia Zheng; It is not as good as Jia Zhu to win the heart of the old lady, and the father also thinks that it is because Jia Lian is not as good at reading as Jia Zhu.

Therefore, Jia She has an obsession, eagerly hoping that one of his children can read, and even his elder sister Yingchun, because of her profound knowledge and ability to read, especially wins the heart of her father.

Therefore, Jia Cong felt that his father must be more nervous than him when he went to the imperial examination.

In fact, he didn't think at all that the reason why the old lady likes someone is because whoever reads well, otherwise he would be better at reading than Baoyu, why didn't the old lady like him more than Baoyu!An excuse is an excuse because it is a lie.

However, since he has set his goal on the imperial examination, his father's wish will come true soon, and I hope that his father will not be disappointed when the time comes!

Jia Cong came back, but in the next few days, no one in the old lady's room, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang of the second room, etc. asked about Cong'er's imperial examination situation, but Baoyu, Tanchun, and Xichun came to visit Cong'er together one two.

No one in the big room who was looking forward to Cong'er's success dared to ask how Cong'er did in the exam, for fear of putting pressure on Cong'er and affecting the next exam, but Cong'er herself took a good bath and rested on the day she came back. The next day I picked up the book to review again.

Even though Cong'er was on the list a few days later when the list was released, and everyone in the big room was happy for him, he still calmly prepared for the next exam.

Soon, Jia Cong walked into the examination room again to meet the third Tongsheng Examination. If he could pass the examination, he would become a scholar, and only after becoming a scholar could he continue to take the Juren examination.

Like a cycle, Jia Cong still looked relaxed when he came out of the last exam. After taking good care of him, everyone began to look forward to the announcement of the results. Whether Rongguo Mansion can have a 12-year-old scholar is all about it.
