[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

In a blink of an eye it was the day when the rankings would be released, and everyone in the big room was waiting for the news, and Jia Amnesty urged the servant over and over again to check back and forth.

Faced with the big house being so serious, Jia Zheng said quite seriously, "Brother Cong is still young, what kind of talent is he being tested for?"

Mrs. Wang curled her lips, thinking that her Zhu'er talent and intelligence took the exam twice, and she was already seventeen. Isn't it a joke for a 12-year-old naughty boy to take the exam?

At this time, the news that he was so important and failed to pass the exam came, let's see how the big house ended in embarrassment.

Because the matter was relatively formal, almost all the people in the big room gathered in the lobby of the East Kua Courtyard, and because of the special circumstances, Jia She gave a special seat to Aunt Guan, which was regarded as a reward for him giving birth to Jia Cong.

Mrs. Xing looked into the void, her eyes were filled with intense emotions. If her baby could be born healthy, the protagonist sitting here today would not be Jia Cong, a bastard, but her own son. Thinking of this, her complexion became even brighter grief and despair.Deep in despair, she recalled that when Jia Cong was just born, Jia's mother suggested that she should adopt Jia Cong. At that time, she didn't know that she would not be able to give birth, and she was afraid that this child would take the name of her own son. How could she want to raise a child who was not her own?If I had known earlier, if I had known earlier...

Jia She and Mrs. Xing sat at the top, Jia Lian and his wife on one side, and their eldest son Jia Zhuo and eldest daughter Jia Zhi on the bottom of Jia Lian and his wife; on the other side sat Yingchun Jia Cong.

Jia Cong kept looking relaxed, as if the news that everyone was waiting for was none of his business.

"Is Cong'er nervous?" Yingchun asked.

Jia Cong looked at Yingchun, and said with a relaxed smile, "Didn't my sister always tell me that I want Mount Tai to collapse like before? Why does Cong'er feel that my sister is more nervous than me!"

"If it was me who went to the imperial examination, I would not be nervous!" Yingchun said.

"Oh, you sister and brother have such a good relationship, so enviable!" Wang Xifeng said.

"Sister-in-law, why are you envious! Don't we have a good relationship?" Yingchun said pretending to be wronged.

"That's right, we are closer than sisters." Wang Xifeng said with a smile, at least since she entered the door, Yingchun has been helping her with some things, and her aunt and sister-in-law have never blushed. Wang Xifeng feels that the girls in the Jia family are the best He has good looks and talents, and the key is that his temperament is even more kind.

As for the son of the Jia family and the daughter-in-law who married into the Jia family, it's hard to say!

"The girls are here!" A servant girl reported.

Immediately, Tanchun, Xichun, and Yichun walked in together.

"Master, madam." Yichun

"Eldest Master, Eldest Madam." Tanchun and Xichun have been studying in Dongkua Academy with Yichun, so they are very familiar with everyone in the Dafang.

"Yeah." Jia Amnesty nodded and asked, "But school is over, have you had your lunch yet?"

Yichun shook his head and said, "Not yet, I'm anxious to know the result of my brother's imperial examination. We came here just after school."

"No hurry, it's not too late for you to come back after lunch, Yingchun, you go and take Yichun and the others to lunch." Jia She turned her head and told Yingchun.

"Okay." Yingchun nodded, got up and left with a few girls, and when she got out of the house, she nodded on Yichun's face bluntly, and said, "You girl, the master and wife are sitting on it, how dare you talk to me?" Cong'er quietly played tricks."

"Sister, don't talk about Sister Yichun, I know that Brother Cong's exam results are out today, and Yichun couldn't concentrate in class all morning, sir, he already said it!" Xichun said bluntly.

"Sister Xichun~, didn't you promise me not to tell?" Let Yingchun elder sister know that she was not paying attention in class, Yichun blushed a little.

"What are you afraid of! If sister Yingchun talks about you, the matter of you acting like a baby will be over, even if it doesn't work, wouldn't sister Xichun and I still be there to help you?" Tanchun laughed.

"Sister Yingchun, the two of them bullied me." Yichun said coquettishly to Yingchun.

"Okay, okay, we two are bad people, right?" Tanchun deliberately put on an angry expression.

"Sister Tanchun..." Yichun hurriedly surrounded Tanchun to coax Tanchun, and the three little ones became a mess again.

After lunch, when it was almost noon, a boy finally ran in hastily, because he was running so fast that he was out of breath and couldn't finish his sentence.

"Hurry up!" Jia Amnesty saw that someone was specially sent to see Jia Cong's grades, and stood up excitedly from his seat.

"Old...Master, hit... hit." The boy gasped.

"Hit it?" Jia She was so happy that he couldn't believe it.

"Successful!" The boy nodded heavily.

"Okay, good, my son Jia She is a scholar, a 12-year-old scholar, haha!" Jia She was already speechless with excitement, as if he was the one who was a scholar. "Come on, hurry up, take the prepared firecrackers to the front door and light them. How can such a great event be hidden?"

"Yes" the boy happily ran to set off firecrackers.

The excited Aunt Guan and the others also calmed down.

Aunt Guan wiped away her tears excitedly, Yingchun was on the sidelines to comfort her, Madam Xing had mixed feelings.

"Congratulations, brother Cong." Jia Lian was also sincerely happy for Jia Cong. It would be better for him to keep his success and Cong'er to open up.

"Brother, you are being polite! I will entrust my brother to take care of you in the future!" Jia Cong clasped his fists.

"You and I, brothers, should help each other." Jia Lian

"Very good, I'm relieved that you brothers can think like this!" Jia She said comfortingly, for a big family like them, the most feared thing is the rivalry between brothers.

As it is now, Jia Lian, who has the right to inherit, inherits the mansion, and Jia Cong, who does not have the right to inherit, works hard in the imperial examination, which could not be better.

Of course, what should be given to Cong'er is still to be given. Looking at the current situation, it seems that it is a foregone conclusion that Cong'er will take care of Lian'er in the future.

"Our brother Cong will be a scholar from now on!" Wang Xifeng also joked happily.

"Sister-in-law, stop teasing me!" Jia Cong said shyly.

"Congratulations to Brother Cong" Tanchun and Xichun

"Congratulations brother" Yichun

"Thank you three sisters, brother will go out and buy you some good things some other day." Cong'er said with a smile.

Because Jia Cong can easily leave the house, Tanchun and the others often receive small gifts that Cong'er bought from outside, even bamboo dragonflies and grasshoppers are rare for them.

"My brother keeps his word, the three of us just wait for my brother to find toys for us!"

"Whenever I go out, don't I bring you a bunch of delicious and fun things?" Jia Cong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After talking with a few people, Jia Cong looked at his sister Yingchun who was standing aside. If his closest playmate was Yichun, then the best mentor and elder must be the elder sister Yingchun. He still remembered that her sister was holding his hand. The first character taught to him by hand was Jia Cong's "cong". It was his sister who took his hand and enlightened him sentence by sentence. Yes, the words are still ringing in my ears.

Whenever he feels that studying is too tiring and hard work, it must be his sister who will accompany him to explain him.

Today he can take a small step successfully, which is absolutely inseparable from the support and teaching of his sister.

Yingchun looked at Jia Cong who finally showed some excitement, smiled and encouraged, "You did a good job, but don't be careless, Juren and Jinshi are waiting for you in front!"

"I will." Now that he has decided to take the imperial examination, he is bound to win Juren and Jinshi, Jia Cong's eyes became firm again.

In the old lady's courtyard, the old lady listened carefully, and beckoned to the little maid beside her, "Why do I hear it sounds like firecrackers are being set off outside?"

"Old lady, I heard that the third master Cong was selected as a scholar, and the elder sent someone to set off firecrackers in front of the mansion!" The little maid replied, you must know that people in the mansion have been discussing how the third master Cong was selected as a scholar a month ago. One thing happened, and even more good people made a gamble with it, but I heard that Mr. Cong's winning rate reached ten to one.

Therefore, the servants who announced the good news had not yet entered the gate of Dongkua Courtyard, and their servants knew about Cong Sanye's talent, and the people who played the game would lose miserably!

But the little girl was very happy, most of the participants were Yacong Sanye, after all, a 12-year-old scholar is not so easy to come by.But one of her cousins ​​works in the Dongkua courtyard, and the job in the Dongkua courtyard is stricter than in the old lady's courtyard. Drinking and gambling are not allowed, and it is even more difficult to participate in the affairs of the old lady's courtyard, so she quietly told her that the husband said Cong It is a sure thing that the third master is a scholar.

She dubiously took out the monthly money that she had saved for half a year to win the third master Ya Cong. After all, if the third master Ya Cong failed the exam, even if he won, he would not have much money. But if the third master Ya Cong passed the exam, if he won the exam, he could earn ten times the profit up.

Two taels of silver changed to 20 taels, which was so pleasantly surprised. Later, she gave her cousin a big red envelope.

"Xiucai? The little one from the old family?" The old lady suspected that she had heard it wrong. If she remembered correctly, she was just a child in her teens. How could a scholar be so easy to take the exam.

"That's right! It's Third Master Cong from the Elder Master's side." The servant girl said with certainty.

"It's Brother Cong, how old is Brother Cong?" The old lady wondered if she had misremembered Brother Cong's age.

"I'm 12 years old. Someone said just now that Brother Cong is the youngest scholar in the capital."

"Isn't it true that Cong'er has passed the examination of a scholar? So does the boss. For people like us, a scholar is nothing. Why set off firecrackers? It doesn't need to alarm the neighbors." The old lady complained.

The old lady forgot that when Jia Zhu was selected as a scholar, she was so overjoyed that she sent a message to her close relatives and set up several tables!Sure enough, the affection raised by my side is different.

"By the way, let Brother Cong come over later and I'll take a good look at it." The old lady did not forget to order.

"Yes"

In Mrs. Wang's room, unlike the old lady, she guessed the result when she heard the sound of firecrackers. The people in the big room are serious these days, and it's hard for her to know.

"Did Brother Cong of Dafang win a scholar?" Mrs. Wang asked the girl beside her.

"Yes" the maid answered cautiously, Mrs. Wang's complexion was not good, they had to be careful.

Mrs. Wang's face was a little ugly. When she mentioned the imperial examination, she thought of her eldest son Jia Zhu who died young. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said to herself, "I'm not afraid of breaking my luck!" I don't know what Mrs. Wang was referring to. what is it.

But Jia Zheng, who got the news, behaved the most differently. Remembering what his husband said about Baoyu's reading, he tossed about in the study vigorously, found more than a dozen books, added them to Baoyu's curriculum, and decided to supervise them personally. Baoyu was reading.
