Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

Jia Zhu is Erfang's darling, and his illness has made everyone in Erfang very upset.The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there should be a joyous atmosphere, but because of his illness, the atmosphere in the Rongguo Mansion has become very depressed, without the slightest festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.

Seeing that Jia Zhu's fever did not go down, Imperial Physician Wang had to give him strong medicine. Jia Zhu's fever went down soon, but the fever came back the next day.

Fever for a while, and fever for a while, over and over again, always not getting better. The anxious Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang washed their faces with tears every day.

Seeing that Jia Zhu was not well, Mrs. Wang felt that her son might have been touched by something unclean, so she asked Ma Daopo to see a doctor for her son.

The Ma Daopo said that Jia Zhu's body was contaminated with unclean things, that's why she hasn't recovered. When she does the trick, she will give Jia Zhu a drink of talisman water and she will be healed.

Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu believed it was true, so they asked Ma Daopo to do it.

Feng'er and Zhao Mama were curious, so they ran to the main courtyard to peek at Ma Daopo's actions. They were very awed by Ma Daopo's muttering, and they told Jia Lian about it when they came back.

Jia Lian was practicing calligraphy, and it was funny to hear Madam Zhao and the others say that Ma Daopo gave Jia Zhu a way to exorcise evil spirits.The ancients were ignorant and believed that superstition could cure diseases.

Ma Daopo did the trick for Jia Lian, and also gave him a drink of talisman water, but it still didn't help. The anxious mother and Mrs. Wang were going crazy.

Now Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang are very regretful, regretting that Jia Zhu was admitted to Qingshan Academy.If Jia Zhu hadn't been admitted to Qingshan Academy, she wouldn't have gotten sick.

Ma Daopo gave Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang an idea, let them make a marriage for Jia Zhu, and make Jia Zhu happy, maybe Jia Zhu will be fine.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang thought this was a good idea, so they immediately asked a matchmaker to talk about their marriage.

The fact that Jia Zhu said the kiss caused quite a stir in the two houses, and everyone was guessing who Jia Zhu said the kiss would be.

"I heard that the second master is interested in Mrs. Li's daughter." Zhao Mama told Jia Lian the gossip she had heard.

"Master Li? Which Master Li?" Feng'er asked curiously.

"It's Mr. Li who once offered wine to the Imperial College." Zhao Mama exclaimed, "Second Master is really capable. He actually let the matchmaker talk about the daughter of Mr. Li's family."

Seeing Nanny Zhao's admiring expression, Jia Lian became a little curious about the background of this Master Li: "This Master Li is very prestigious?"

Hearing what Jia Lian said, Mammy Zhao immediately regained her spirits and talked to Jia Lian about the background of Li's family in detail.

"This Li family is a well-known official family in Jinling. It is very famous and prestigious in Jinling. All the men and women in the family read poetry and books. It can be said that it is a scholarly family. However, the Li family has never been a high-ranking official. They are all small officials. Even so, the people who proposed to the Li family every year stepped on the threshold of the Li family."

When Feng'er heard that she had never been a high official, she was relieved.If the future eldest mistress is the daughter of a high-ranking official, then the people in the second room will become arrogant again and bully their eldest family members, and then their eldest family members will have no status in the mansion.

"Listen to you, big brother is not high-ranking." He thought the Li family was awesome, but he didn't expect it to be just an ordinary scholarly family.

"In terms of family background, it is the Li family that surpassed our Jia family, but the Li family is a scholarly family, which we can't match. If this marriage is agreed, it will be of great help to the young master's study." When Zhao mama thought that the second room was going to talk about such a good daughter-in-law, she felt very uncomfortable. "I heard that the daughter of the Li family is not only very good-looking, but also very virtuous and dignified, and also literate."

In ancient times, it was emphasized that women's lack of talent was virtue. Many women were not allowed to read and write, and only those from good families would let their daughters read and write.

Feng'er looked at Jia Lian, and couldn't help worrying about her young master's future marriage: "The second master can find such a good marriage for the eldest young master, I wonder if the master can find a good marriage for the young master in the future?"

Hearing Feng'er's words, Mother Zhao became worried unknowingly.The master of their family drank at home every day, played with concubines and maids, never worked hard as an official, and did not get to know scholars like the second master.The eldest wife was born in a small family, so she couldn't get acquainted with a wife of status and status.The old lady knew quite a few people of status and status, but her heart was biased, and she would definitely not let the young master's marriage surpass that of the young master.

Thinking about it this way, Mother Zhao felt that Jia Lian's marriage might not be very good in the future.

"Master, in order to talk about a good marriage in the future, you should say more good things in front of the old lady." As long as you please the old lady, the future marriage of the young master will not be bad.

When Jia Lian heard this, he was instantly embarrassed. He is only ten years old now, so it is too early to say that it is too early to get married.

"Mommy, I'm only ten years old now, it's too early to say goodbye."

"But..." The more Zhao Nanny thought about it, the more she felt that Jia Lian's future marriage was hard to say.

Jia Lian felt that even if he flattered Jia's mother, the old lady would not tell him a good marriage. After all, in the eyes of the old lady, Jia Zhu was much more important than him.

"The Li family agreed to this marriage?"

Zhao Momo shook her head slightly: "I don't know yet, but the old lady has already sent a matchmaker to talk about it, so it should be possible."

Jia Lian waved his hand and told Mother Zhao and the others to go out.

Speaking of marriage, Jia Lian couldn't help but fell into deep thought.He is only ten years old now, and it is still early to say goodbye, but when he is fourteen or fifteen years old, he should say goodbye.He can't accept arranged marriages in a modern age. If he gets married in the future, he must find a woman he likes to marry, otherwise how will he live his life.

Forget it, it's too early to get married now, let's talk about it later.The most important thing right now is the county exam next month.

Soon, there was an answer from the Li family in Jinling, agreeing to the marriage.

Before getting married, the two families must first exchange the birth date of the child to see if the two children are compatible.

The Jia family invited Taoist priest Zhang from the Taoist temple to read the birth date horoscope, and the Li family invited an eminent monk from Jinling to read the birth date horoscope.

Whether it is a Taoist priest or an eminent monk, after reading the birth dates of the two children, they all said that there is no problem, so the two families decided on the marriage in advance.After the new year, Jia's family will send someone to deliver the engagement gift.

After the marriage was settled, Jia Zhu miraculously recovered, not only the fever disappeared, but also no fever again.

Seeing that Chongxi had an effect immediately, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were very happy.

When Jia Zhu's illness is cured, the Rongguo Mansion will be able to have a good New Year, otherwise it will not be able to celebrate the New Year well.

Because Jia Zhu recovered from her illness, Jia's mother was very happy, so she asked the people in the house to buy more things for the New Year and prepare for a prosperous New Year.

According to the rules, the first and second families of the Rongguo Mansion had to celebrate the New Year together, after all there was no separation.

On New Year's Eve, Jia Lian woke up early in the morning. This was his first New Year in ancient times, and he couldn't help looking forward to it.You must know that in modern times, Chinese New Year is nothing more than eating and drinking, without any taste of the New Year.

After breakfast in his own room, Jia Lian first went to greet Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing.It was rare for Jia She to wake up early today and not stay in Wenrou Township.

After greeting Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing, Jia Lian followed them to the main courtyard to greet Jia Mu.

The maids and servants in the main courtyard couldn't help but look at Jia Lian in red all over, and many maids blushed.

Young Master Lian is really getting more and more beautiful, even more beautiful than the young master, just like the fairy boy in the painting.

When they came to Jia Mu's yard, Jia Lian followed Jia She and they greeted Jia Mu and said a few auspicious words.

Mother Jia looked at Jia Lian, who was all in red, with surprise flashing in her eyes.In the past, Jia's mother only had Jia Zhu as her grandson in her eyes, and she never paid much attention to Jia Lian, nor did she look carefully at him.When she saw him today, she realized that this grandson was very good-looking, with a fair face, delicate features, and a graceful figure. He looked like a noble son.

"Brother Lian, come here and let me take a good look."

Jia Lian was amazed by Jia Mu's sudden closeness. What's wrong with this old lady today?

Jia's mother looked at Jia Lian kindly, and waved to him: "Come here, let grandma take a good look."

With doubts in his heart, Jia Lian walked up to Jia's mother.

Jia's mother took Jia Lian's hand, looked at him carefully from head to toe, and nodded while looking at him: "Brother Lian is getting better and better." This grandson is like the fairy in the painting of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Like a child, likable.

Hearing Jia's mother praise Jia Lian, Madam Xing was very happy and proud: "Isn't that right, I told the master just now that Brother Lian is as good-looking as the fairy boy in the painting."

Mrs. Wang sneered in her heart after hearing Mrs. Xing's words, Xiantong?I really dare to say it, and I am not afraid of being blamed by the gods.

While clapping Jia Lian's hand, Jia's mother asked him about his recent situation with concern.

Jia Lian was shocked by Jia's mother's actions, and always felt that the old lady was possessed by something, which was too weird.

Mother Jia is getting old and likes good-looking young people.Suddenly discovering that his grandson is good-looking, of course he can't help but get close to him.
