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

When Wang Yue arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng was not at home. After asking, he found out that he was on duty in the yamen. Wang Yue then remembered that, despite Jia Zheng's usual leisurely life, he often read books at home and talked with other guests. It's easy to talk, but he still has an official position on him, and compared to the Jia family's men who never go to the Yamen to work, he is already diligent in going there.

It happened to be him on duty again today, and Wang Yue heard that the boy who went to pick him up meant that their master just got up this morning to go to the Ministry of Industry for duty, and he had already told them to go early this morning. Picking up people, Wang Yue was even more moved when he heard this.

Jia Zheng was not at home, so Wang Yue would naturally go to the backyard to meet Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

Hearing that Jia Zheng wanted to take Wang Yue to study in his yard, Jia's mother had nothing to say, but it was just a yard, and it was not a big deal. Since the main thing was to make her son happy, not to mention that she also liked Wang Yue very much. In her opinion, few of the next generation of the Jia family are promising. Even if Baoyu will have a great fortune in the future, but in the end it is difficult to support him alone. It is very appropriate to find him a helper.

Wang Yue has a promising future at such a young age, has a good temper, knows how to be grateful, and is also a relative of his own family. There is no better helper than him.

People say that adding icing on the cake is easy, but giving charcoal in the snow is difficult, but everyone also knows that only giving charcoal in the snow is easier for people to remember the kindness. Wang Yue is at a time of decline at this time, and they act at this time is sending charcoal in the snow. Only in the future can he be reminded of the Jia family kindness.

As for Mrs. Wang, then she has no reason to object. Wang Yue is a relative of her Wang family. Her husband treats her relatives well. In the eyes of outsiders, this is to give her face. Naturally, she has no reason to be unhappy.

Furthermore, Mrs. Wang would rather spend her husband's money on Wang Yue than on some vixens.

Jia Amnesty would not intervene, even if he intervened, no big brother would care how his second brother spent his money. No one in the Jia family who could speak up had any objections, and naturally others would not raise objections stupidly.

Therefore, Wang Yue received a warmer welcome as soon as he entered the room, and the smiles of those maids and servants towards him were more enthusiastic than before. If before, these people doubted that the reason why their master valued this person so much was just a matter of face, but now Everyone understood that their master had really taken a fancy to this little child prodigy.

The servants of the Jia family have always been proud of the power of the Jia family. From their point of view, they have a big girl who is a noble concubine, and their own family is a duke's mansion. Don't look at the old lady saying that the Jia family is just a second-rate family. But in their minds, the Jia family is probably second only to the royal family, and there is no one bigger than the Jia family in the world.

Wang Yue can be valued by the Jia family, and he is capable, so he will definitely develop in the future.

Don't look at people being poor now, but they will be officials in the future, and I don't know how much better they are than servants like them. These people are naturally willing to come and burn this hot stove.

Therefore, as soon as Mrs. Wang said that she would send a few people to Jia Zheng's yard to take care of Wang Yue, several children from the family who had not yet entered the mansion came to Mrs. Wang's place to make connections, and Wang Yue became a crowd all of a sudden. The thighs scrambling to cling to.

Mother Jia told Mrs. Wang a few words to encourage him to take the exam well, and then asked him to go to the Grand View Garden to find some aunts to play.

Jia Baoyu is not at home today, she said that a friend invited him to drink, and said that there is some son of the Hou family, the general's son, Jia's mother would naturally like Jia Baoyu to go out to socialize and get to know a few more friends. It was beneficial, so Jia's mother, who was always willing to keep Jia Baoyu in front of her, urged Jia Baoyu to go out quickly.

Hearing that Jia Baoyu was not at home, Wang Yue heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he usually only favors Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu now regards him as a younger brother, which is better than Jia Huan's relationship with his own younger brother, but he still doesn't Make sure Jia Baoyu will not suddenly have a seizure when he hears that he is going to take the imperial examination.

It happened that Jia Baoyu was not around, so he didn't have to worry about this problem.

At this time, several sisters were gathering together in Xue Baochai's Hengwuyuan to do needlework with Li Wan. Although it was already April, the weather in the north was still a bit cold in spring occasionally. , very comfortable, so several sisters are willing to come here.

When Wang Yue entered, the sisters were discussing needlework, Xichun, the youngest, immediately stood up and said in surprise, "Brother Yue, you are here again, but what good things did you bring?"

Since the first time Wang Yue entrusted the servants to bring them bamboo weaving gadgets, they are very popular with these boys and girls, so every time he comes here, he will buy some novelty gadgets from the street, such as pen holders with bamboo carvings, There are made clay figurines, cut paper flowers, and painted comic strips. The price is not expensive, but for the female family members in the back house, they are definitely rare things.

In fact, for these girls, they can afford to buy these things, but it is a pity that both Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu depend on others, and they must be extremely cautious in doing things. Even if he is enthusiastic about these rare gadgets, he will never let people go outside to buy these things.

The three sisters of the Jia family can go, but each of the three sisters has their own difficulties, and none of them has the confidence to play the prestige of a serious young lady.

What's more, among the three sisters, Yingchun's monthly money was fried dry by his nanny. It is already a thankful thing to be able to cover her own flowers every month, and there is still extra money to buy these things.

Needless to say, Tanchun, she also secretly subsidized Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, and she had no money left.Xichun is rich, but Xichun has always been cold-hearted, and he abides by the rules. Even if he likes these things very much, it's nothing more than an addiction, and he will never do things that break the rules for these things.

So the only chance for the sisters to get in touch with these things is in the hands of Wang Yue and Jia Baoyu, but Jia Baoyu is like a big girl, staying at home every day, rarely coming home for ten days and a half months, It is better to count on Wang Yue than to count on him.

Not only Xichun, seeing Wang Yue coming in, the other sisters were also surprised.

"Brother Yue, come and sit down first."

It was Xue Baochai who was the most considerate. Even though she was looking forward to what Wang Yue brought, she still suppressed the desire to ask, and beckoned Wang Yue to her, asking him to sit down first.

Wang Yue said hello first, then sat down next to Xue Baochai, put the bundle on the table and said, "This time I'm here to bribe a few aunts!"

"Bribe? What the hell are you trying to do, you brat?"

Lin Daiyu put the basket of needlework in her hand on the table, sat opposite Wang Yue, and asked with a serious face, as if she was interrogating a criminal, but this serious look only lasted for a few seconds, and still Before Wang Yue could answer, she couldn't bear it anymore and laughed.

The others also laughed, and Wang Yue knew that they didn't take what he said seriously.

Regarding this, Wang Yue just smiled, stretched out his hand and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said: "These are some poem questions from the gentleman in the private school. The husband said that it is very likely to pass these questions in the government examination. Let us come back and do a composition first, but the aunts also know that it is almost the same if I are asked to do stereotyped essays, and poetry... Haha!"

Wang Yue shook his head with a smile, and everyone laughed too. Wang Yue is really not good at composing poems. This is something everyone already knows, but this time no one made fun of him anymore. Everyone looked at him. The piece of paper in his hand became hot.

Imperial examination questions, do they have a chance to do it?
