[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

Besides, when Jia Zheng heard that Mrs. Wang had relatives visiting her, one of them was an eight-year-old boy who had not only passed the county examination, but was actually the number one in the county examination. Jia Zheng was naturally very curious.

Jia Zheng was originally famous for his good reading. Not only did he study hard himself, but he also liked to urge his younger generations to read. However, the members of the Jia family and the children of old friends either followed their fathers and ancestors into martial arts and kept a respectful distance from books, or were ignorant and incapable of reading books. Just a headache.

As a result, Jia Zheng’s enthusiasm has nowhere to be shed. A few years ago, the eldest son Jia Zhu asked him to spread his enthusiasm for teaching his children to study, but the eldest son died early, and the second son Baoyu was very talented, but also somewhat miraculous. , but because of the matter of the eldest son, neither the old lady nor Mrs. Wang allowed him to force Baoyu to study, and he himself did not put his mind on studying.

In desperation, Jia Zheng had no choice but to put aside his thoughts and talk with the gentlemen worshiped at home every day.

Unexpectedly, a child prodigy came today.

This dynasty is not as good as the previous dynasty. From the first emperor to the current emperor, although His Majesty has repeatedly issued decrees to encourage the people to study and participate in the imperial examination, the number of candidates is increasing, but there are very few who can be called child prodigies.

There are often adherents of the previous dynasty criticizing this dynasty with this, saying that this dynasty has failed its destiny, and this is why the style of writing is not flourishing.Jia Zheng boasted that he had stayed in the imperial court for more than 20 years. Although he had no hope of promotion because he refused to flatter his superiors, he could guess a little bit of his favor. Towards fame, the world knows that not only is the Holy One rejoicing, but even he himself can earn a reputation of caring for younger generations.

However, the reason why Jin Chuaner asked this little girl here was originally to help Baoyu ease the situation, but now not only the goal has been achieved, seeing the master showing a rare smile to his wife, I am afraid that when the master leaves, the wife will definitely reward her. Hers, how unhappy she was, immediately summoned a second-class girl and two wives, and asked them to personally follow the little girl, and Zhou Rui's family took over the old lady and the little child prodigy.

Not to mention how excited Zhou Rui was when he got the news, he lured Grandma Liu and Wang Yue into the mansion even more attentively, but Baoyu here just heard that an eight-year-old child had entered the examination room, and remembered that he was being urged by the master every day Jia Baoyu was forced to study, and if there was any disagreement, he would be punished with sticks. This child was able to pass the county examination at the age of eight, and he did not know how many boards he had received from his husband, and how many sticks he had received from his father. He has a strong sympathy for Wang Yue who has never met.

But sympathy is all sympathy, thinking that when the lord comes over later, the lord will definitely test his homework, and then I will definitely suffer from the disaster when I am next to him. Thinking about the four books that I still have, Jia Baoyu immediately made up his mind. It's better to sneak away now.

"Master, the old lady just ordered me to..."

"Don't mention the old lady, I don't know what you think? It's rare that a child who is willing to make progress comes over. If you don't talk about getting close to him, you can lead you to make progress. Just hide behind and talk to the people in the back house every day." The girls are messing around, push your father forward, can I, as an old man, still support you for a lifetime?"

Before Jia Baoyu finished speaking, Jia Zheng interrupted him directly. Jia Baoyu's little trick could not be hidden from him as a father. It was nothing more than moving out the old lady to avoid his lesson. If you care about him, you will probably follow his heart, so as not to turn around and make the old lady unhappy.

But today, Jia Zheng wanted to keep Jia Baoyu here on purpose, so that he could experience the words of the sage and develop a desire to learn, lest he hang around in the back house and waste time.

Not to mention that Jia Zheng's thoughts must be in vain, if Jia Baoyu can repent and recite the books of sages, then he is not Jia Baoyu.

Even though Jia Baoyu's heart was in Cao Ying and he was in Han, when the master opened his mouth, even if he wanted to fly directly to the old lady, he could only stay here.

Seeing that Jia Zheng was getting angry again, Mrs. Wang hurriedly persuaded him, "Baoyu is still young, and he may be fond of playing for a while. Didn't he go to study in the ethnology school earlier?"

"It was also for a while, I went when I was happy, and I didn't want to go when I was unhappy, what can I read by reading like this, it's just a shame for me, if you keep doing this, I think you might as well be here Stay in the back house, so as not to be scolded that I don't know how to teach my son!"

Seeing Jia Zheng scolding louder and louder, the Sanchun sisters hurried over to comfort her. Jin Chuaner heard the movement outside and walked up and down in a hurry. Quickly opened the curtain and entered the room, saying: "Master and Madam, the young master is here."

The room was silent for a moment, Jia Zheng was afraid that he would scare them, so he quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Please come in quickly."

Then he pointed to a row of chairs next to him and said to Baoyu, "Sit down first, lest outsiders see the joke."

Then he said to Sister Sanchun: "Sit down and listen, too. They are not outsiders, they are all relatives of our own family. Besides, he is just a child, so there is nothing to shy away from."

Baoyu and Sanchun sisters should be together, but Jia Huan didn't see a good scene of Baoyu being beaten, and felt regretful in his heart, but after all Mrs. Wang was in front of him, he didn't dare to be a monster, so he had to sit with his head down. bit.

The little maid drew up the curtain, and everyone in the room saw Zhou Rui's family coming in first, and pulled a somewhat restrained old lady into the room with a smile. Behind the old lady stood a handsome young man.

"Master and wife, this is Grandma Liu. My wife still remembers that their great-grandfather used to be the head of the household department, and was connected to the wife's family."

Now Mrs. Wang knew who it was. No wonder she didn't remember any other child in the family who was so promising. It turned out that they were only connected to the clan, but after all, they were listed in the genealogy, so they can be regarded as serious relatives.

Leaving aside Grandma Liu, everyone focused their eyes on the little child prodigy, and when they saw Wang Yue's appearance, everyone's eyes could not help but light up.

Just because Wang Yue caused Jia Baoyu to be scolded by Jia Zheng before he appeared in front of others, everyone present couldn't help but be deeply impressed by him, and they all imagined the appearance of this child in their minds.

No matter what, you can't escape the appearance of a bookworm who reads all day.

But I never thought about it. After meeting, I realized that he has red lips, white teeth, ruddy complexion, and a pair of big eyes that are pulsating. His face is full of vigor, and there are two small dimples on his face. When he smiles, two small canine teeth are exposed. , People can't help laughing when they see it.

What kind of nerd is this? It's just like the lucky doll in the New Year painting.

Even Mrs. Wang, who was displeased with Wang Yue because of Jia Baoyu's scolding just now, couldn't help being happy when she saw him, she quickly stood up and walked forward to hug Wang Yue: "What a handsome child! I don't know how it was born, and how it was raised? It looks like a boy under the seat of a Bodhisattva, but I have seen so many children, and none of them are as good as him."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to Grandma Liu and said, "This child is a lucky one at first glance. He is free from illness and disaster. I'm afraid he is better than our children. I know you have raised them with care, but I don't know what you have. It’s a good way to teach us.”

"How can there be carelessness! A child from a poor family is raised loosely, and let him run all over the mountains. How can he be as precious as the young masters and young ladies? In the end, young ladies and gentlemen have precious lives, and they are easy to provoke sneaky villains. , That’s why so many disasters have happened for no reason!”

Grandma Liu's words immediately attracted Mrs. Wang's attention, and she hurriedly asked: "The old man is still knowledgeable. I wonder if there is any way to solve this?"

Grandma Liu was about to speak, when Jia Zheng shouted, "Your speech is so strange, it's really a woman's opinion to say what you want to do!"

Grandma Liu had no choice but to shut up after hearing what he said. Seeing that she was frightened, Mrs. Wang comforted her: "It's irrelevant, let's just talk about ours and let their men talk about men's affairs."

After speaking, he pulled Grandma Liu to sit on the chair in front of the kang, and then put Wang Yue down and said, "If you want to talk about articles with other people's children, just talk about it. Just don't get angry, so as not to scare them."

Finally, he pulled Wang Yue again and said, "In theory, you should call me aunt."

Wang Yue hurriedly bowed and saluted, and called her aunt. Madam Wang smiled and nodded, then pointed to Jia Zheng and said, "This is your aunt."

"Hello, grandpa."

Jia Zheng also smiled and stroked his beard and nodded, "You are also good."

Mrs. Wang smiled, pointed at Jia Baoyu again and said, "This is your Uncle Baoyu."

"Hello, Uncle Baoyu."

Mrs. Wang pulled Wang Yue to the Sanchun sisters again, and said, "This is your three aunts."

"Hello, aunts."

The Sanchun sisters stood up smiling and nodded with him. Whether it was intentional or not, Mrs. Wang ignored Jia Huan who had stood up and was ready to be introduced, and pulled Wang Yue away.

Wang Yue noticed that Jia Huan's face was completely flushed and full of anger, but he did not let it out because he suppressed it. Among the Sanchun sisters, only Tanchun glanced at him, but he just glanced at him, didn't say anything, and didn't say anything. He didn't do anything, and the others in the room didn't notice him at all.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yue couldn't help sighing, fortunately, he was not the concubine of a powerful family, even if he was poor, it was better than being humiliated and strong in front of outsiders.

But Wang Yue didn't intend to interfere, let's not talk about other people's small words, even if they open their mouths, not only will it not help, but it will offend Mrs. Wang, so why bother to meddle in other people's business.

Another thing is that in Wang Yue's previous life, because his father couldn't control his lower body, he was provoked by many mistresses and illegitimate children. He didn't have the slightest affection for such illegitimate children. The little cat Dong of Jia's family sympathized, but was full of disgust. Now this situation let alone let him speak up to rescue Jia Huan.
