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

After Mrs. Wang introduced the people in the room to Wang Yue, she brought Wang Yue to Jia Zheng again, and Wang Yue knew that her test had come.

If it's just a simple examination of homework, then Wang Yue is definitely not afraid. After reading the books for several years, it is not in vain. Even if a great Confucian came here, unless that person is making things difficult, Wang Yue is absolutely not afraid of anyone testing him. homework.

But now Wang Yue knows that this is not a simple test of homework, just because there is Jia Baoyu in front of him.

Jia Baoyu's virtues, probably only Wang Yue, apart from the Jia family, knew clearly.

Lin Daiyu just entered Jia's mansion and only said that I don't have jade, and he could go crazy in public, so that Lin Daiyu was in a very embarrassing situation.

Earlier, I told Lin Daiyu that this younger sister looked at Mian Shan, and I was considered an old acquaintance in my heart. Today, I just reunited after a long distance. They never considered that when Lin Daiyu first entered Jia's mansion, she was lonely and helpless.

Lin Daiyu was cautious and refused to move too much for half a step, for fear that she would break a taboo, which shows how scared she was. She was originally a very sensitive person. People are also very warm to her, but this can't dispel her uneasiness. One can imagine how happy she was to see Jia Baoyu, whom she had known since the very first meeting, in Jia's mansion.

But it was Jia Baoyu, whom she was full of affection for, that gave her a heavy blow. Think about it, everyone in the room was surrounded by Jia Baoyu, and she was the one who was the culprit standing alone, and she was still so young , I wonder what sister Lin is thinking at this time?

Even Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, who he has a good impression of, can show no face at all and completely ignore her situation. Then, he, a stranger who has just met, can even imagine that Jia Baoyu treats him with Jia Baoyu's disgust for the book of sages. His impression would definitely not be too good, and Jia Baoyu would not give him face.

Of course, Jia Zheng's presence might be able to suppress Jia Baoyu to a certain extent, but no one can guarantee whether Jia Baoyu will suddenly have a convulsion.He and his grandmother came to the door to be humble, if they offended the Jia family's phoenix egg again, one can imagine the situation of him and his grandmother.

Once Jia Baoyu had convulsions because of him, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang would definitely have a grudge against him. If he was more cautious, it would not be impossible to secretly retaliate against him. I want to please these two people.

As long as a letter is sent outside, if the county magistrate admires him again, can he still offend the Jia family for him?

Even if she doesn't think about herself, Wang Yue has to think about her grandma.

Therefore, this test must be carefully measured.

Jia Zheng wanted to keep Jia Baoyu, so naturally he would not let him watch during the test. There were always two or three sentences in the ten sentences that would bring Jia Baoyu with him, so Wang Yue could easily figure out Jia Baoyu's situation.

Among the Four Books and Five Classics, he is very familiar with the "Book of Songs", probably for the sake of writing poems, so he rarely studied it carefully. Although the other four classics such as "Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Rites" are not as proficient as the "Book of Songs", they are not bad, and "The Analects of Confucius" " and "Mencius" are the next two books, but at least remember the original text, and occasionally get stuck during the discussion, but you can quickly react. As for "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean", don't mention it!

It would be easy to figure out Jia Baoyu's situation, so Wang Yue intentionally or unintentionally led the topic to what Jia Baoyu was good at.This is difficult to say, but simple to say, as long as Wang Yue deliberately shows unfamiliarity in the areas where Jia Baoyu is good at, and finds some related questions to ask Jia Zheng, with Jia Zheng's good temperament as a teacher, there is no need for Wang Yue to say, It will also focus on these places.

Not long after the homework test, Jia Zheng suddenly discovered that Jia Baoyu performed really well today, which shows that he has indeed worked hard recently.

It is gratifying that Wang Yue performed well, but Jia Baoyu is the most important thing in Jia Zheng's heart. Seeing Jia Baoyu's performance, he immediately became happy, and his attitude towards Jia Baoyu eased a lot.

Jia Baoyu also felt that the master's questions today were much simpler, many of which he was good at, and he could answer many of them. Coupled with Jia Zheng's gentle attitude, this gave him a lot of encouragement and made him answer more and more smoothly. .

Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu's father and son are not clear about where they are in the game, but Mrs. Wang can see clearly from the side. Baoyu's performance today is not because Jia Zheng has lowered the difficulty, nor is it because Baoyu has worked hard recently, but because Wang Yue.

Now Mrs. Wang completely eliminated the grievances in her heart, and added a lot of joy to Wang Yue. She even thought in her heart that it would be better to keep this child in the mansion and let him be Baoyu's companion. Being motivated can also make Baoyu win the favor of his father.

But soon Mrs. Wang gave up her thoughts. Even though she relied on her family's power, she also understood that Wang Yue was no better than Qin Zhong. The Jia family could let Qin Zhong be Baoyu's companion, but they couldn't keep Wang Yue.

Fortunately, Wang Yue's surname is Wang after all, so it is enough to let him communicate more in the future.

Now that the conversation here is happy, Mrs. Wang is relieved to talk with Grandma Liu.

"Old man, is what you just said true?"

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was very concerned about this issue, Grandma Liu turned her head and thought of what she had heard about the death of Mrs. Wang's eldest son. She immediately understood why Mrs. Wang was very concerned about this issue. of a son.

So Grandma Liu answered very cautiously, and she said: "When I was young, I believed in Buddhism very much. I would go to temples to offer incense and worship Buddha seven or eight times a year. As for the Buddha's birthday ceremonies, I often go there." Go, after a long time, I will see more, and there are monks who are acquainted. Some things they don’t say to outsiders, but they are willing to say to me, so I know more than others. It’s just that I’ve heard people say it, and whether you believe it or not depends on your wife.”

Mrs. Wang would rather believe in this kind of thing than believe it in nothing. Besides, the monks' solution is to spend some money at most. This cost is a big burden for ordinary people, but for For Mrs. Wang, it was just a small amount. She was willing to spend the money to eliminate disasters. Baoyu is her lifeline now, and it is worth spending more money for Baoyu.

So she took Grandma Liu's hand, patted the back of her hand, and smiled affectionately: "Please teach me, old man!"

"Don't dare to do it! Don't dare to do it!" Grandma Liu declined a few words with a smile, and then said directly: "This is easy, just do more karma and good deeds for him. And the monk once said that there is a great man in the West. The Bodhisattva of Light Universal Illuminations specializes in illuminating darkness and evil spirits, and if there are good men and women who worship them sincerely, they can protect their children and grandchildren forever, and there will be no more troubles caused by terror and evil spirits."

"I don't know how to worship this Bodhisattva?"

Grandma Liu looked at the Buddhist beads hanging on Mrs. Wang's wrist before saying: "I think my wife usually recites Buddha devoutly. Why don't you go to the temple and invite the Buddha statue of the Bodhisattva of Great Brightness to be enshrined at home every day, and the monk said that in the Buddhist scriptures There is also the Dao Guang Mantra, my wife might as well learn it, let the maids around Miss Young Master recite it every day, it will surely dispel evil spirits and keep them safe."

"This is good! The old man has insight. I just don't know which temple enshrines this great light and universal illumination Bodhisattva?"

"Ma'am, I'm asking someone. There is a temple near my house, and this Bodhisattva is enshrined in it. I will talk to Mrs. Zhou later. It will only cost a few dollars, and it is not difficult."

"Then please trouble the old man. I will let Zhou Rui's family go with you later." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wang turned back to Jin Chuan'er and said, "When Baoyu goes out from now on, give him a few strings of money for the boys to take with them." , When you meet monks and poor people, you are willing to give alms."

Jin Chuan'er hurriedly responded, and when she finished talking, she started gossiping about other things. Grandma Liu was a knowledgeable person. Seeing that Mrs. Wang was interested in this matter of gods and Buddhas, she made up many stories about karma and blessings of gods and Buddhas. After the story was told, she saw and heard a lot outside. Although it was a random compilation, it was also very innovative. Not only Mrs. Wang listened to it, but even Sister Sanchun and Jia Huan, who was very angry at first, were fascinated by it. .

For a while, the people in the room divided into two groups, talking happily, but they didn't want Jia's mother to wait and see Baoyu came back. For fear that Baoyu would annoy Jia Zheng for a while and be beaten again, he hurriedly sent two old mothers Come check it out.

After the old mother went back and told about the things here, Mother Jia became very interested in Grandma Liu and Wang Yue, and sent someone over to invite them to talk.

Mrs. Wang expected that Mother Jia would be interested in what Grandma Liu said, so she was naturally very willing. Jia Zheng wanted to stay a little longer, but was afraid that Mother Jia would be angry, so she kindly asked Wang Yue to come and go frequently in the future, and asked someone to take a few sets from the study. Wang Yue was very happy that the new book included the Four Treasures of the Study and the gold and silver locks.

After calculating the generous gift from Jia Zheng in his heart, Wang Yue was satisfied, and it was not in vain that he had spent a lot of effort. The result is still satisfactory, but it's just a few more times, so let's forget it!Answering questions with Jia Baoyu is really a waste of brains!
