Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

What is treacherous and cunning, Jia Lian has seen it from Jia's mother.Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy.

Because Jia's mother made such a death-seeking farce, how could Jia She and his son hold on to this matter.Jia Zheng and his wife had a guilty conscience, but now they follow Jia's mother to make such a fuss, and they die down.

Although the big house and the second house have stopped fighting, Jia Zhu's reputation is still ruined. If the rescue is not restored, it will be completely over.

Mother Jia arranged for someone to go outside to spread the news of the conspiracy theory, saying that someone was jealous of Jia Lian's talent, so she deliberately spread the rumor that she bought two poems from the wandering Taoist. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian won the test, and the previous rumors were self-defeating. , Then they spread rumors that Jia Zhu was jealous of Jia Lian, so as to provoke the relationship between Jia Zhu and Jia Lian. These people had sinister intentions and wanted to kill two brothers, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian.

The news immediately spread throughout the capital, and most people still believed the rumors. After all, Jia Lian was so talented at such a young age, how could it be possible not to attract envy.

The wind of public opinion in the capital changed instantly, and they became sympathetic to the two brothers Jia Zhu and Jia Lian.As for Jia Zhu and the students of Qingshan Academy attacking his cousin Jia Lian to buy Ci, it was because he believed the rumors, so he was not to blame.His reputation was barely regained.

When Jia Zhu came back from vacation, she went to apologize to Jia Lian for the rumors she had believed in before, with a very low profile and a very sincere attitude.

Jia Lian admired Jia Zhu's cheekiness a little bit, she was shameless to the extreme.Obviously the family spread the rumor that they bought the lyrics from the wandering Taoist priest, but they were ashamed to say that they believed the rumors and mistakenly thought that he really bought the lyrics from the Taoist priest.

Hehehe, with guilty eyes, ashamed expression, and sincere attitude, Jia Zhu's acting skills are comparable to those of the old lady. If she acts in modern times, she will be a proper actor, killing a piece of fresh meat in seconds.

His attitude was so low that he almost knelt down, and he couldn't forgive him even if he didn't want to.

"Brother, this is all someone else's trick. I didn't take it seriously to deliberately stir up our brotherhood." Isn't it just acting, he will too.

When Jia Zhu heard what Jia Lian said, she looked even more guilty, her eyes were slightly red: "Brother Lian, I..."

"Brother, we are a family and we should trust each other. I hope you will not easily believe in rumors and fall for other people's tricks next time." Jia Lian said these words to Jia Zhu, but also to Jia Mu and the others.

"Brother, I'm ashamed."

Mother Jia nodded in agreement, and said, "Brother Lian is right, we are a family, we must trust each other, and don't just believe in those messy things outside."

When Jia Lian heard Jia Mu's words, she sneered in her heart, haha, she didn't blush when she said that.

Mrs. Wang followed Jia's mother's words and said, "What mother said is true."

"This incident has taught us a lesson, don't do it again in the future." Mother Jia sighed heavily, "Oh, those who spread rumors are really vicious, they are going to destroy our Rongguo Mansion."

"Fortunately, grandma found out in time." Jia Zhu flattered her.

"In the future, you two brothers should trust each other and help each other, those people will not harm you."

"Grandmother said so." Jia Zhu and Jia Lian looked taught.

The rumor was exposed just like that. No one mentioned it, as if it never happened.

From then on, the first room and the second room in Rongguo Mansion were harmonious, and the atmosphere in the whole mansion was very peaceful.

"Master, the old lady just sent a lot of silk and satin, saying that the weather is getting warmer, and she will make some new clothes for you."

Jia Lian took the tea that Feng'er brought over. This tea was Lu'an Guapian, which was specially sent to him by Jia's mother.From that day on, Mother Jia seemed to have changed. She cared very much about his grandson, and often sent people to give him things to eat, drink, wear, and play with.Every morning, I went to say hello to her, kissed him, hugged him, and greeted him with care. He was so caring that he couldn't accept it.What does it mean that this eccentric old lady suddenly changed her sex?compensate him?

"Then do it." Don't reject the things the old lady sent for nothing.

"Master, the old lady has been very concerned about you these days." Madam Zhao felt that the old lady was obviously partial to the second wife about the rumors, and asked their eldest wife not to care about it, which made her very upset for the young master.However, recently, the old lady has been concerned about the young master in various ways, which made her feel a little better.

"Concern?" Jia Lian raised his brows slightly, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.

Feng'er said: "I think the old lady is trying to compensate the young master, it doesn't seem like she really cares about the young master."

Even a simple Feng'er could see it, but how could Madam Zhao, who had served in the Rongguo Mansion for more than ten years, not see it, and sighed softly: "Sigh... Compensation is better than nothing."

Jia Lian hoped that Jia's mother would ignore him like this, and he would be happy.He is really not used to and can't accept "caring for him" every day like now.

"After a while, she should calm down."

"I hope the second wife and the others don't make any more troubles."

"The soldiers will block the water and cover it with earth." This time, he suffered a big loss and still can't settle the score.He can only write it down first, and get it back when he has a chance.If Second Aunt and the others engage in any more conspiracy, they will just give him a chance to settle the score.

Zhao Nanny and the others waited on Jia Lian to wash up and then retreated.

Jia Lian was lying on the bed, flipping through "A Dream of Red Mansions" in his mind.During this period of time, he watched the Red Mansion every night before going to bed, and almost finished it.

After reading "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Lian sighed endlessly, sympathized with the Twelve Pans of Jinling in the article, and despised Jia Baoyu.

As a man, he was mixed in rouge and powder as a whole, harming the little girl.The little girl suffered because of him, and he just watched and did nothing.

Compared with Jia Baoyu, Jia Zhu is not bad, at least Jia Zhu knows how to be motivated and doesn't eat the little girl's rouge all day long.

He saw that Mother Jia doted on Jia Zhu, but it was nothing compared to Jia Baoyu in the original book.

When Jia Baoyu is born, stay away from him.

Jia Lian in the original novel of the Red Chamber left him very speechless.She's lustful, even flirting with a servant's wife, it's really worthless.He doesn't have any skills, but he's not a bad person, and he hasn't done anything outrageous.

In the original book, Jia Lian married Mrs. Wang's niece Wang Xifeng as his wife. This Wang Xifeng was too scheming and murdered her. He should stay away from her. He must not marry such a woman as his wife, otherwise he would not have a safe life in the future.

After watching "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Lian's determination to leave the Jia family became more determined. No matter what means he used, he must sever all ties with the Jia family.

~~~~~

After the county test, Jia Lian's life returned to normal, living a life of three points and one line, Rongguo Mansion-Jia Mansion Free School-Li Daoqing's house.

Li Daoqing originally thought that his student, who was the head of the county examination, would not be able to settle down to study for a while, but he didn't expect Jia Lian to work harder than before, which surprised and comforted him.

"Sir, I want to learn Danqing." The system allowed him to become a great painter within five years, and the time was short, so he had to learn it quickly.

Li Daoqing was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly want to learn Danqing?"

"I think I have a skill. You see, some people are good at temperament, some are good at calligraphy, some are good at chess, but I don't know anything." Jia Lian wrinkled his face and said pitifully, "Others have it." I don’t have a skill, so I want to learn from Danqing.”

Li Daoqing stroked his beard, and felt that his students' considerations were right. The current students basically all have skills that can be used, but his students actually want to learn Danqing, which surprised him a little.

"I thought you would practice calligraphy with me, but I didn't expect you to learn Danqing."

Jia Lian thought that Li Daoqing was upset that he didn't learn calligraphy from him, so he hurriedly said, "Sir, I will still learn calligraphy from you, but I also want to learn Danqing."

"I don't blame you for not learning calligraphy from me." Li Daoqing said gently, "If you learn Danqing, I can't teach you." He is not good at Danqing.

"Sir, do you know anyone who is good at painting?"

"Yes, I have a friend who is quite famous in Danqing. I will go to him tomorrow and talk to him, and see if he is willing to accept you as an apprentice." His friend has a weird temper, so he may not be able to accept Jia Lian as an apprentice. .

Jia Lian stood up and saluted Li Daoqing: "Mr. Trouble."

"You don't need to be so polite, it's just a matter of raising your hand." My students are good at everything, but sometimes they are too polite. "In more than a month, the government examination will start. During this time, you can't relax a little bit." He was not very surprised that his own student had passed the county examination, but he was surprised to win the top case.But luck should have accounted for half of the case this time.It is hard to say whether the government examination can pass the top case.

"Sir, I understand." To be honest, he doesn't have much confidence in the next government test. After all, the government test is more difficult than the county test. He can pass the top case in the county test, but he may not be able to pass the government test. head.

Li Daoqing saw that his student had a bitter face, and thought he was worried that he would fail the government test, so he comforted him: "Although the government test is more difficult than the county test, it is not too difficult. With your grades, passing the government test should not be a big problem, but If you want to win the test, it will not be easy."

When Jia Lian heard this, he could only smile wryly in his heart. The task given to him by the system was to let him be admitted to the top case in the government examination. If he failed the exam, he would die.

"Sir, I know that it will be very difficult to be the head of the Central Government Examination with my current level, but I still want to give it a try."

Li Daoqing was frightened by his student's words, and he looked shocked: "Do you still want to be admitted to the top case?" I really don't know if he is overconfident, or he is ambitious, but he still wants to be the top case.

Jia Lian nodded and looked at Li Daoqing eagerly.

Seeing that his student really wanted to be the case leader of the central government examination, Li Daoqing helped his forehead helplessly: "You know that with your current foundation, it is not easy to pass the government examination. As for the case leader of the government examination, you still Don't think about it."

Jia Lian was shocked by Li Daoqing's words, but he had to take the test of the Central Government Examination: "Sir, if you don't try, how will you know?"

Li Daoqing: "..." As a student, he was a little ignorant.

"Sir, didn't you tell me that the goal should be farther away, my goal this time is to be the leader of the government examination."

Li Daoqing said helplessly: "I want you to set your goal a little farther, but you have to do what you can."

Jia Lian said firmly: "Sir, no matter what, I want to give it a try." If he fails to pass the government examination, he will die.

Seeing that his own students persisted, Li Daoqing couldn't say anything more, so he could only encourage him: "If this is the case, you should work harder for more than a month."

"Don't worry sir, I will work hard to study and study in order to get the first place in the central government examination." At worst, I will study hard with the spirit of hanging my head and stabbing my butt.

Seeing that his students were full of fighting spirit, Li Daoqing couldn't say anything to hurt him.Since the student wants to pass the test, he, the gentleman, will do his best to help him.

After another class, Jia Lian left.After returning home, after reviewing and consolidating what he had learned today, he continued to read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his mind.A few days ago, he finished reading "Dream of Red Mansions", and he has a certain understanding of the world he lives in. However, the plot of the original book has not yet started, so he doesn't have to worry about it for the time being.

The next day, Li Daoqing went to visit his friend and told him in advance that Jia Lian wanted to learn Danqing.Of course, in front of his friends, Li Daoqing said a lot of good things for his students.

Li Daoqing's friend decided to meet Jia Lian first, and then decide whether to accept him as a disciple.

Picking a good day, Li Daoqing took Jia Lian to visit his good friend.

Li Daoqing's friend is Wei Jiashen, who is the same candidate as Li Daoqing. When he was young, he was a Jinshi. He was an official for several years. He felt that the officialdom was too dark and all kinds of intrigues. .The characters he painted were delicate and vivid, very popular, and gradually became famous, but compared with those masters, he was still far behind.

He has studied painting skills for the past few years, hoping that he can go one step further and become a master of painting, but there is no effect, and he is always one step away from being a master.

He didn't want to accept apprentices, but it was not good to reject Li Daoqing directly, so he asked Li Daoqing to bring Jia Lian to show him. He would inspect Jia Lian and then refuse dissatisfiedly, so that Li Daoqing would not say anything.

Jia Lian followed Li Daoqing to Wei Jiashen's house, brought some seasonal fruits, but did not bring any valuables to visit him, after all, he had not been accepted as an apprentice yet.

Wei Jiashen's first impression of Jia Lian was very good. This child is really handsome, with exquisite features, red lips and white teeth, just like the fairy boy in the painting.

He didn't talk nonsense to Jia Lian, just asked him to draw a picture, he could draw anything.

Jia Lian didn't know how to draw ink and wash, so he had to take out the charcoal pencil he asked someone to make some time ago, and drew a sketch of an apple on the spot.

Wei Jiashen saw that Jia Lian was holding something black and autumnal, and he was still curious about what it was. When he saw Jia Lian using this dark object to gradually draw an apple on the paper, a pair of small eyes suddenly stared like copper bells, and a mouth It opened wide, with a stunned expression.

Li Daoqing was also surprised by the weird painting techniques of his own students. It was the first time he saw someone drawing with something dark and not slick, and the paintings were very similar, just like the real thing.

Soon, Jia Lian finished the painting: "Please take a look at it, sir."

Wei Jiashen took the words from Jia Lian, and asked him with a surprised expression, "Have you ever studied Western painting?"

Jia Lian didn't expect Wei Jiashen to know Western painting, and his expression was a bit astonished: "Yes, I once learned some painting from a Westerner just because it was fun." He doesn't know how to draw ink and wash, but only sketches. Explaining his painting method, I didn't expect Mr. Wei to know Western painting.

"Western painting?" Li Daoqing looked puzzled.

Wei Jiashen looked at Jia Lian's paintings, stroked his beard and said, "Two years ago, when I went to Jiangnan, I once saw a Westerner painting on the streets of Suzhou, and it was Mr. Jia's painting method. I At that time, I was very surprised, so I asked the Westerner what kind of painting it was, and the foreigner said it was their painting method." He thought this painting method was novel at that time, although it was not as good as theirs. Things are too rigid and blunt, but the effect of painting is very real.

Li Daoqing nodded suddenly after listening to his friend's explanation, and then looked at his student in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be able to draw Western paintings."

Jia Lian grinned stupidly: "Coincidentally, I met a foreigner two years ago. I saw that his painting method was very strange, but the things he drew were very real, so I thought it was very fun. Then I exchanged things with him and asked him to teach me. Draw this kind of strange painting." Since Mr. Wei knows Western painting, there is no need for him to make up a theory to explain sketching.

"This kind of Westerner's painting method can't be put on the stage." Wei Jiashen really looked down on sketching, but he didn't deny that this kind of painting method is very real, "The things of Westerners are very strange, you should not draw this kind of painting in the future."

Hearing what Wei Jiashen said, Jia Lian couldn't refute anything, so he could only laugh dryly: "Sir, what you said is true."

"Why do you want to learn painting?" Wei Jiashen asked suddenly.

When Jia Lian was said so suddenly, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he replied honestly: "I think I have a skill. Among the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I am more interested in painting."

Hearing this answer, Wei Jiashen frowned slightly, his expression seemed a little dissatisfied: "Just want to have a skill?"

Li Daoqing knew his friend's temperament, and when he heard his student's answer, he screamed inwardly. My friend hated others to use painting for anything.

Jia Lian nodded: "Yes, but students usually admire those who can draw, who can draw what they see vividly on paper."

This sentence made Wei Jiashen look a little better: "Isn't it for fame?" Many people learn painting for the sake of fame.

Jia Lian shook his head lightly: "Students don't think they have that ability." In fact, the first motivation for learning painting is to like it, and the final goal is to become famous.Those who study painting, who doesn't want to become a great painter and become famous all over the world.

Wei Jiashen was not very satisfied with Jia Lian's answer, and continued to ask: "What if you have that ability?"

"If you have that ability, of course you want to be famous and become a famous painter all over the world." Jia Lian thought to himself, if Mr. Wei told him that learning painting is for some kind of art, not for fame, then it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to be a teacher.

Wei Jiashen didn't expect Jia Lian to speak so frankly, which surprised him, with a slight smile in his eyes: "The answer is very honest."

Jia Lian was a little embarrassed by the praise, and smiled shyly: "The student just said what he wanted." It seems that this Mr. Wei is not a prudish person.

"There is nothing wrong with being famous. I have been painting all these years for the sake of being famous." He has always wanted to become a master these years, isn't it just for the name.

Li Daoqing was startled by his friend's words, and looked at his friend in amazement: "I thought you were unworldly, but I didn't expect you to be an ordinary person."

After hearing this, Wei Jiashen glared at Li Daoqing, and said proudly, "I'm just a layman."

Li Daoqing smiled and said: "Hahahahaha, it's good that you are an ordinary person." These years, friends have been very strict with painting, and he thought...unexpectedly, it was also for the sake of fame.

Wei Jiashen was too lazy to talk to his convulsed friend, looked at Jia Lian and said, "Although I have some achievements and fame in painting, I am far behind the master, and there are not many things I can teach you."

As soon as Jia Lian heard this, he knew that Wei Jiashen had agreed to accept him as an apprentice, and a surprised smile immediately appeared on his small face: "Sir, you are humble."

"You are not a master, but it is more than enough to teach me this student."

"If you want to be my student, you have to prepare in advance. I'm very strict." He doesn't have much talent in painting, so he can only make up for it with diligence, and practice painting for several hours every day.

"Strict teachers produce high-quality apprentices, and students can't ask for it."

"In that case, I will accept you as a disciple."

Jia Lian was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down: "Student Jia Lian pays homage to Mr.!"

Li Daoqing originally thought that his friend would not accept Jia Lian as his apprentice, but now he was shocked to see that his friend actually accepted Jia Lian as his apprentice.

"Now you are as good a student as I am."

Wei Jiashen squinted at his self-proclaimed friend: "Whether you are a good student or not, we will talk about it after a while."

Jia Lian quickly said: "The students will definitely not disappoint the husband."

"Since I promised to accept you as an apprentice, you should offer me tea now."

"Ah?" Jia Lian looked surprised, "Should we serve tea now, don't we need to choose an auspicious day?"

Wei Jiashen waved his hand: "I don't have such rules here." After speaking, he ordered his servants to prepare.

"But the student didn't bring a gift..."

"Didn't you bring seasonal fruits? These are enough. I don't care about these little things."

Jia Lian didn't expect Wei Jiashen to be so bold and eclectic, and he liked this gentleman more and more in his heart.

"Mr. Wei said so, you just do as he said."

"Yes."

The servants quickly prepared the tea, and under the witness of Li Daoqing, Jia Lian paid homage to Wei Jiashen as his husband.

"Go back today and prepare to learn painting, and come to me to learn painting tomorrow."

"Yes."

"Heaven rewards hard work, you have to be diligent in learning painting, and you can't be negligent. I know you still have to study, and you study with me for two hours a day. When Mr. Li gives you a vacation, you have to come to me to study for half a day. "

"Students will definitely work hard."

"Do you want to learn landscape painting or figure painting?"

"Nature is figure painting."

Wei Jiashen nodded slightly: "Then you come over tomorrow."

"Mr. Xie."

Wei Jiashen still wanted to paint, so he didn't keep his friend and Jia Lian, and drove them away very rudely.

On the way back, Jia Lian sighed, "I didn't expect Mr. Wei to be so forthright."

"He doesn't like rules and red tape very much. You should pay more attention to him in the future."

"Students remember."

"I thought he wouldn't take you as an apprentice."

"Mr. Wei, I should accept my apprentice for the sake of Mr.'s face."

Li Daoqing shook his head: "He won't take you as his apprentice for my sake. It should be your western painting that moved him." Western paintings are very curious.

"Really?" Didn't Mr. Wei despise sketches?

"Although you have worshiped Mr. Wei as your teacher, the time you spend studying with me every day will not be reduced for you." Li Daoqing does not object to his students learning painting, but he will never allow his students to learn painting and delay their studies.

"Students understand."

After Jia Lian and Li Daoqing said goodbye, they returned to Rongguo Mansion.As soon as he came back, he heard that Mother Jia was looking for him.

When I came to Jiamu's house, I saluted Jiamu first: "I have seen grandma."

Jia's mother beckoned to Jia Lian with a loving face: "Brother Lian, come here."

Jia Lian sighed helplessly in her heart, walked towards Jiamu, and stood beside Jiamu.

Jia Mu took Jia Lian's hand and asked him kindly what he had learned from studying today and whether he was hungry.Then he asked someone to bring up the delicate and delicious pastries that had been prepared earlier.

"Brother Lian, you and your grandmother will go to Fuling Temple to burn incense in two days."

"Burning incense?"

"Your elder sister has more than a month to enter the palace for the audition. I want to burn incense and ask the Bodhisattva to bless Yuanchun to pass the draft smoothly. Then I will pray for you and Zhu Geer, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless you two brothers and be safe."

Jia Lian was not interested in burning incense, but he wanted to go out for a walk.Now that it's spring, it's time to get out for some air and see life come back to life.

"Grandson will go with you, and pray to the Bodhisattva to bless our family with safety and health." By the way, I pray to the Bodhisattva to bless his family to pass the exam.

This sentence made Jia's mother very happy, and she praised Jia Lian as her good grandson.

When is the old lady going to play this intimate scene?

He couldn't bear it any longer.
