Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

The civil and military officials didn't know that the Supreme Emperor personally wrote a pair of Spring Festival couplets to reward Jia Lian. If they knew about this, the civil and military officials would vomit blood and die of jealousy!

Because Jia Lian received the Spring Festival couplets written by Emperor Longwu himself, he became a big celebrity in the capital again!

Because of the matter of the eldest prince and the fourth prince, the civil and military officials have been living in fear during this period, and they are not in the mood to celebrate the New Year.Seeing that Jia Lian was so favored by Emperor Longwu, they decided to go to Liuyuan Mansion to visit Jia Lian in person when they decided to pay New Year's greetings, so as to get closer to Jia Lian.

Regardless of what happened during this period, Jia Lian happily pasted the Spring Festival couplets written by the emperor on the door of the main hall, and the Spring Festival couplets written by the Supreme Emperor on the door of the study.

On New Year's Eve, the capital finally became more lively.Of course, compared with the New Year's Eve in previous years, it was still a bit deserted.

It was the first New Year's Eve in Liuyuan Mansion, and it was very lively. A lot of firecrackers were set off, which aroused the jealousy and resentment of those civil and military officials who were frightened and unable to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

Jia Lian's family sat together to celebrate the New Year lively, and the whole house was full of joy and laughter.

Compared with Liuyuan Mansion, Jia Mansion is much colder.

This year's new year in Jia's mansion, Mrs. Wang, Jia Zhu, Jia Yuanchun, and many servants are missing, and the whole Jia's mansion has become quite empty.

Perhaps it was because Mrs. Wang died not long ago, and Jia's mother and Jia Zheng were always worried, and they couldn't celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

This year, Jia Min's family came to Jia's mansion to celebrate the new year. There were a little more people, but the atmosphere was still a bit depressing and not very lively.

Seeing that her natal family has become like this, Jia Min feels very uncomfortable, but it can't change anything.

After lunch, Jia Min's family went to Liuyuan Mansion.

Jia Baoyu clamored to go with him, but was severely scolded by Jia Zheng, who scolded Jia Baoyu and cried, and Jia Mu, who was angry, scolded Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng felt bored, so he went to Aunt Zhao's.

Before Jia Min's family went to Liuyuan Mansion, Jia's mother asked Jia Min to ask Jia Lian how Jia Yuanchun was doing now.

During this time, the fourth prince was demoted to the county king, and was imprisoned in the county palace. No one was allowed to visit or approach him. Mother Jia was very worried about Jia Yuanchun.

Jia Min was also worried about Jia Yuanchun, and planned to ask Jia Lian about it.

After lunch, Jia Min and the others rested in Jia's Mansion for a while, and then went to Liuyuan Mansion.

Today's weather is nice and sunny.

After Jia Lian and the others finished their nap, he and Zhuang Jingrong painted in the courtyard.

Jia Min's family came to Liuyuan Mansion, where Jia Lian was painting.

Seeing that Jia Lian was painting Western paintings, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai were very curious, and they stood aside and watched Jia Lian's painting with great interest.

Oil painting pays attention to color, and Jia Lian's use of color is also very bold and novel. Jia Min and Lin Ruhai were very surprised when they saw it.

When Jia Lian stopped painting, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai applauded.

"Brother Lian, your drawing is really good."

Jia Lian's painting is the scenery of the courtyard in the winter afternoon. The colors are bright and warm, full of vitality, which makes people feel better after seeing it.

"I didn't expect Western paintings to be so beautiful. They are different from our paintings."

"Yes." Jia Lian took the handkerchief from Zhuang Jingrong and wiped his hands, then saluted Jia Min and Lin Ruhai, "Auntie, Uncle, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Go back and sit down."

"Just sit in the courtyard and bask in the sun."

Lin Daiyu saw Jia Lian and opened her arms to hug Jia Lian.

Jia Lian reached out and hugged Lin Daiyu into his arms, bowed his head and kissed Lin Daiyu's pink and tender face.

"Daiyu misses brother Lian, right?"

"As soon as this girl sees you, she won't want me as a mother."

"No way, who told me to look so good-looking." Jia Lian said shamelessly.

Jia Min was amused by Jia Lian's cheeky words: "You are really immodest."

"I'm telling the truth." Jia Lian raised Lin Daiyu with both hands, let Lin Daiyu stand on his lap, made faces to make Lin Daiyu laugh, "Daiyu, do you think brother Lian looks good?"

Lin Daiyu laughed happily in response to Jia Lian.

"Look, aunt, even Daiyu thinks so."

"Husband..." Zhuang Jingrong called out helplessly, but his eyes were full of pampering and indulgence.

"Ma'am, don't you think I'm not good-looking?" Jia Lian deliberately looked at Zhuang Jingrong with aggrieved eyes.

Zhuang Jingrong: "..." Then he blushed slightly and said, "It looks good." After speaking, he lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Jia Lian and the others.

Jia Min was amused by the interaction between Jia Lian and Zhuang Jingrong, afraid that Zhuang Jingrong would be even more shy, so she changed the subject and asked, "Brother Lian, do you have any news about Yuanchun?"

"Eldest sister?" Jia Lian couldn't help but startled when he heard this topic, then shook his head and said, "No."

Jia Min frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "The fourth prince was demoted and imprisoned in the Jin Palace. No one is allowed to visit. I wonder how Yuanchun is?"

Lin Ruhai patted Jia Min's shoulder lightly, and comforted him softly: "Yuan Chun is just a woman in the back house. The Fourth Prince's relegation has nothing to do with her. She should be fine."

"I'm afraid she will be wronged." The fourth prince must be in a bad mood after being demoted, what if Yuan Chun is angered.

"Before my eldest sister got married, I told her that if you have any troubles and need my help, you can come to me." Jia Lian said thoughtfully, "If my eldest sister has any troubles, she will definitely find a way to send me a message , let me help her. But I haven't heard from my eldest sister during this time, so it should be fine."

Hearing what Jia Lian said, Jia Min felt relieved a lot.

"That way, I'll feel more at ease."

Jia Lian thought that the fourth prince liked men, so maybe he hadn't touched Jia Yuanchun until now.

"Brother Lian, about the fourth prince..."

Before Jia Lian could answer, he heard Lin Ruhai say: "Madam, the affairs of the imperial court are not for us to discuss."

Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, Jia Min realized that what he said just now was inappropriate, "My husband is right."

"Brother Lian, let's go to the study and talk for a while."

"Okay, Uncle."

Jia Lian and Lin Ruhai went to the study, while Jia Min and Zhuang Jingrong continued to sit in the courtyard basking in the sun.

Lin Ruhai talked to Jia Lian about other things, but what happened in the court recently.

"Brother Lian, what do you think the emperor will do next?"

Jia Lian pinched his chin and said thoughtfully: "The power of the eldest prince should be completely eliminated."

After Lin Ruhai heard this, a smile appeared in his eyes: "I think so too."

"After the emperor has eradicated the influence of the eldest prince, he is going to attack the Yan family."

"The emperor didn't reward the Yan family with anything this year. From this, it can be seen that the emperor is very dissatisfied with the Yan family."

"Uncle, these things have nothing to do with us, you don't have to worry." Whether the emperor wants to deal with the eldest prince or the Yan family, it has nothing to do with them.

"That's true, but..." Lin Ruhai suddenly paused, with some worry on his brows.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai stopped suddenly and did not continue speaking, Jia Lian asked suspiciously, "But what?"

"Based on our previous guess, the emperor did this to pave the way for Prince Rui." Lin Ruhai frowned slightly, "I have never seen Prince Rui, and the ministers in the court rarely see Prince Rui, and they don't know about Prince Rui. What kind of person is he, Brother Lian, have you met Prince Rui?" This Prince Rui lived in seclusion and was really too mysterious.

Jia Lian shook his head lightly and said, "No, I haven't seen him at all." He was also very curious about Prince Rui, and wanted to see what kind of person he was, who could make the emperor do this for him. "However, I heard from Jing Rong that Prince Rui is very gentle and refined. Unlike the gentleness and elegance that the fourth prince pretended to be, Prince Rui is exuded from the bottom of his bones."

"If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with that."

"Uncle, the emperor is not a foolish emperor, and he will not make fun of the country. If Prince Rui had no excellence, it would be impossible for the emperor to treat the eldest prince and the fourth prince like this." Taking the eldest son and the fourth son to pave the way for the second son, the emperor really I don't know whether it is affectionate or ruthless.

When Lin Ruhai heard this, she felt that Jia Lian's words made sense, so she no longer had any worries or hesitation in her heart.

"you're right."

"Uncle, for the time being, don't think about who will sit in that position in the future. What we are doing now is to serve the emperor well." Even if he knew that the emperor did all this to pave the way for the second prince, he would not rush to please him To curry favor with the second prince.

Lin Ruhai was awakened by Jia Lian's words, and then smiled and said, "You're right, I was thinking too much."

Afterwards, the two stopped talking about political affairs, and chatted about the customs of Chinese New Year in various places.

Jia Min's family had to go back to Jia's mansion for dinner at night. After chatting for a while, Jia Min's family left.

As soon as Jia Min's family left, Jia Lian received a message from Jia Yuanchun.

I don't know what method Jia Yuanchun used to get a carrier pigeon to deliver the news to Liuyuan Mansion.

The letter Jia Yuanchun sent was very simple, just one sentence: "I want revenge, help me."

Seeing these six words, Jia Lian was at a loss: "Revenge? Who do you seek revenge from? The Fourth Prince?"

Zhuang Jingrong guessed: "It should be like this."

Jia Lian frowned, with a worried expression: "What did the fourth prince do to the eldest sister?" What did the fourth prince do to make Jia Yuanchun hate him so much and want to take revenge on him.

"The fourth prince must have done something too much to the elder sister." Zhuang Jingrong said this very implicitly.

Jia Lian knew what Zhuang Jingrong meant, and shook his head to express his disapproval: "The fourth prince likes men, so he won't do anything to eldest sister."

"What? The Fourth Prince likes men?" Zhuang Jingrong couldn't help but exclaimed, shocked by Jia Lian's words.

"Yes."

"Husband, how do you know?" She had never heard that the fourth prince liked men.

"..." Jia Lian's expression froze when Zhuang Jingrong asked this question, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing Jia Lian's unnatural expression, Zhuang Jingrong inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart.Immediately thinking that the fourth prince valued Jia Lian in the past, he suddenly felt stunned.Instantly, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at Jia Lian in disbelief.

"Husband, will the fourth prince treat you..."

Seeing that Zhuang Jingrong guessed it, Jia Lian couldn't hide it anymore, so he nodded stiffly: "En."

Zhuang Jingrong suddenly became furious, and said through gritted teeth, "I'm going to kill the Fourth Prince!"

"Madam, the Fourth Prince didn't do anything to me."

"But he has unruly intentions towards my husband, which cannot be forgiven!" I didn't expect the fourth prince's thoughts to be so dirty.

"Ma'am, I'm fine. Now we have to think about how to help Eldest Sister, or what happened to Eldest Sister?"

"Husband, we must avenge the eldest sister and kill the fourth prince!" Zhuang Jingrong felt disgusted and angry when he thought that the fourth prince had unruly plans for her husband.

Jia Lian was shocked by Zhuang Jingrong's words, and then his eyes were full of smiles, "Okay, listen to Madam, find a way to kill the fourth prince!" I didn't expect Jingrong to have such a violent side, but he likes it.What he likes the most is Jing Rong's possessiveness towards him.

At this time, the Prince's Mansion of Jinjun.

Jia Yuanchun washed her body vigorously over and over again, as if her body was stained with something dirty.

Baoqin saw that Jia Yuanchun had washed his body until it was flushed red and even bleeding. He stood aside and wept, covering his mouth, and said in a choked voice: "Miss, you can't do it anymore..." Before that, Baoqin called Jia Yuanchun his side Concubine, was severely reprimanded, so she changed her name to Miss.

Jia Yuanchun stopped the self-torture only after brushing his body dripping with blood.

When Baoqin applied medicine to Jia Yuanchun, tears fell down worthlessly.

"Miss……"

Jia Yuanchun comforted Baoqin with a smile: "Baoqin, don't worry, I won't be overwhelmed. I want to return all the humiliation I have received during this period!" After finishing speaking, Jia Yuanchun's face became gloomy. There was hatred and murderous intent.

"Miss..." Seeing this time, Jia Yuanchun still comforted her, holding the qin like a knife.

"Evil..." Thinking of what happened this afternoon, Jia Yuanchun couldn't bear it any longer, and lay down on the bed and vomited.

"Miss……"

Jia Yuanchun had vomited all afternoon, everything in his stomach had been vomited up, and he couldn't vomit anything.

"I'm going to kill him!" Jia Yuanchun said this with a very ghastly expression, like a Shura pulled out of hell.

"Miss, Master Lian will definitely help you."

"Brother Lian once promised me that if I am in trouble, he will definitely help me."

"Master Lian keeps his word and will definitely help Miss."

During this time, the fourth prince used Jia Yuanchun as a tool to vent his anger, and humiliated and abused her in various ways.Jia Yuanchun gritted his teeth and endured it, he just wanted to get out of the Jinjun Palace as soon as possible, and didn't think about what to do to the fourth prince.However, what happened today made Jia Yuanchun hate the fourth prince to death.

Today is New Year's Eve, and no one in the Prince's Mansion of Jin County dares to celebrate the New Year, so as usual, the servants are cautious in doing things, for fear of offending the Fourth Prince.During this period of time, many slaves died in the mansion, all under the order of the Fourth Prince.

In the past two days, the fourth prince mingled with male pets all day long, and did not come to Jia Yuanchun.

Jia Yuanchun thought that the fourth prince would not come to her again if he had a male favourite.Unexpectedly, after lunch at noon today, the fourth prince came to see her again, and brought three or four male pets with him.

Seeing Jia Yuanchun, the fourth prince directly ordered her to take off her clothes.

Seeing that there is a male favorite, Jia Yuanchun naturally would not agree.As a result, she was slapped several times by the fourth prince, and then her clothes were stripped off, and she just lay naked on the ground.

What happened next made her want to die.However, for revenge, she gritted her teeth and survived.

She's going to kill Mizusawa!

The humiliation suffered today, as well as the humiliation suffered before, must be returned to Mizusawa ten times!

Hatred and hatred made Jia Yuanchun endure humiliation, so he wrote a letter to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian and the others didn't know what happened to Jia Yuanchun, but they couldn't ignore Jia Yuanchun's letter and had to find a way to help her.

After much deliberation, I didn't think of a good way.

"Husband, why don't we first find a way to rescue Eldest Sister from Jinjun Palace? We can discuss other matters after Eldest Sister comes out."

Jia Lian thought Zhuang Jingrong's proposal was good, nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, let's rescue the eldest sister first." After speaking, he wrote a letter and tied it to the carrier pigeon's leg, asking the carrier pigeon to send the letter back.

I don't know where Jia Yuanchun got the carrier pigeon, but he was able to find Liuyuan Mansion.

Jia Yuanchun received Jia Lian's reply at night, seeing Jia Lian saying to rescue her first, Jia Yuanchun's eyes turned red immediately, and tears instantly covered his whole face.

"Miss, the servant said that Master Lian would definitely help you."

Jia Yuanchun nodded with tears all over his face: "En..." She wanted to apologize for misunderstanding Brother Lian on the day of her marriage. At that time, she judged the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Fortunately, she didn't lose her mind and do anything to Brother Lian .

"However, I can't leave Jinjun Palace now."

When Baoqin heard this, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, with a look of surprise on her face: "Miss, why can't you leave?"

"I want to collect his criminal evidence. Only in this way can he be put to death." Jia Yuanchun's eyes were full of hatred, with an expression of wanting to eat the fourth prince alive.

"But..." Baoqin wanted to say, what if what happened this afternoon happened again?

Jia Yuanchun knew what Baoqin wanted to say, his eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "I have a way to avoid it." What happened this afternoon was too sudden, and she had no time to resist, so she was... This kind of thing will never happen the second time.

"Miss, let's leave." Baoqin was scared, really scared.In her eyes, the current Fourth Prince is more terrifying than the evil ghosts in the playbook.

"I can't leave without getting anything." Jia Yuanchun knew that it would not be easy to bring down the fourth prince, because the fourth prince was behind the Yan family.As long as the Yan family does not fall, the fourth prince will not fall.

"But, it's too dangerous." Baoqin said with disapproval.

"You don't need to persuade me, I want him to die without a place to bury him!"

Jia Yuanchun's tone was very cold, and Baoqin was too frightened to persuade him any more.

After Jia Lian had dinner, seeing the carrier pigeon came again in the afternoon, he immediately walked over to pick it up, took down the letter tied to his leg, opened it, and couldn't help being stunned.
