Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

Mother Jia wanted to talk to Jia Zhu alone, so she asked Jia Lian to go back and have a good rest.Jia Lian didn't bother to talk to Jia Mu and Jia Zhu anymore, so he left first.

As soon as Jia Lian left, Jia Zhu couldn't wait to tell Mother Jia about him: "Grandmother, brother Lian is too impulsive. This time, with the protection of Prince Jin, the Shen family may not trouble our family, so what about next time? Brother Lian Sooner or later, it will cause trouble for the family."

Jia's mother felt that Jia Zhu's words made sense, and frowned slightly, her expression a little cold: "I'll teach him a lesson tomorrow."

Jia Zhu was still a little dissatisfied when she heard what Jiamu said, but she couldn't say anything more: "Grandmother must tell him well, so that he won't cause trouble for the family in the future."

"Let's not talk about him, how are you doing in the academy these days?" Mother Jia held Jia Zhu's hand tightly and asked with concern, "Did you get the appreciation of the fourth prince when you participated in the polo competition today? "

"Grandmother, don't worry, I'm doing well in the academy. Because my uncle was promoted to be the governor of the capital, they are trying to curry favor with me." Jia Zhu enjoyed being flattered and flattered, with a rather smug look on her face, "The fourth prince wants to win me over Uncle, of course he will value me."

When Jia's mother heard the words, a gratified smile appeared on her face: "Okay, okay, take this opportunity to get to know more people from the honorable family." Although she was dissatisfied with the rise of the Wang family, and there was a faint tendency to suppress the Jia family, the prince's promotion She is still happy to see the benefits brought to Brother Zhu.

"Grandchildren don't disappoint grandma."

"You have always been very sensible, and you have never let me down." Jia Mu valued Jia Zhu as a grandson very much, "You have been appreciated by the Fourth Prince this time, and you will have a bright future in the future."

Jia Zhu said without guilt at all: "The grandson knows."

"Your uncle is really..." Mother Jia sighed softly, "Although the fourth prince is not the queen's biological son, he was brought up by the queen since he was a child. It can be said that he is the queen's son. Why are you hesitating, uncle? You should support the Fourth Prince."

Jia Zhu nodded in agreement and said, "Grandson also thinks that uncle should support the fourth prince." His uncle didn't know what he was afraid of. Behind the fourth prince was a family of queens, and the name was justified. How could the eldest prince compare with the fourth prince.

"Your uncle just thinks too much." The eldest prince and the fourth prince didn't need to think about it at all, and directly chose the fourth prince.

Jia Zhu guessed, "Perhaps my uncle has just been promoted to be the governor of the Beijing camp, so he is not on his feet, so he dare not act recklessly."

"Go to Wang's house tomorrow and have a good talk with your uncle."

"it is good."

The grandparents and grandchildren chatted for a while, and then Mother Jia let Jia Zhu go to pay Mrs. Wang well.

Mrs. Wang was very happy to see her son come back, and like Jia's mother, she pulled Jia Zhu and asked non-stop, for fear that her son would suffer and be wronged in the academy.

Jia Zhu told Mrs. Wang everything that happened in Qingshan Academy during this period, and she was relieved.

"Didn't you go to participate in the polo tournament held by the Fourth Prince? Why did you come back so early?"

Jia Zhu told Mrs. Wang about Jia Lian's injury: "He was injured. As a cousin, of course I have to send him back, otherwise people will say that I have a bad relationship with him."

Mrs. Wang was angry when she heard this: "What a bastard, it will never be a good thing to meet him." Before, Jia Lian, the bastard who killed Brother Zhu, was slandered and his reputation was almost ruined.Not long ago, she was hurt again and lost 5000 taels of silver.This time Zhu Geer was hurt again and couldn't make a big splash in the polo match.

"Our family will be implicated by him sooner or later."

"Your grandmother has been bewitched by lard recently, and she greets him every day and sends him good things." Mrs. Wang is very dissatisfied with Jia's mother's care for Jia Lian during this period.

"Grandmother treats him well because she sees that he has won the chief case examination twice in a row."

Mrs. Wang raised the corner of her mouth and showed a contemptuous smile: "What's the use of passing the test twice."

Thinking of the importance the fourth prince attached to Jia Lian, Jia Zhu was filled with jealousy, and her eyes were full of mischief.Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the hatred welling up in his heart.

"Mother, I want to go to my uncle's house tomorrow."

"What are you doing at your uncle's house?"

"My aunt is here, go and see my aunt, and then ask my uncle what he thinks."

"What do you mean?"

"Uncle is now promoted to be the Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp. Both the First Prince and the Fourth Prince want to win him over. I want to ask which one does he support?"

"Your uncle doesn't support any of them."

Jia Zhu's eyes widened in surprise, a little in disbelief: "How come uncle doesn't support any of them?"

"The last time I went to your uncle's house, your uncle told me personally that neither the eldest prince nor the fourth prince can offend him, and for the sake of safety, he won't support any of them." Mrs. Wang felt that her elder brother was too timid. "He also told me to return all the gifts that others gave me, and told me not to cause trouble for him."

Jia Lian looked shocked: "Uncle really said that?"

"Your uncle really said that, and said that if I caused trouble for him, he would not recognize me as a younger sister." Madam Wang felt angry when she thought of this matter.

Jia Zhu frowned tightly, with a puzzled expression on her face: "What is uncle thinking, is it necessary to be so cautious?" Uncle is a big celebrity now, so there is no need to be so cautious.Besides, there is no need to think about the eldest prince and the fourth prince. The fourth prince is the master, and the fourth prince should be chosen.

"I also think your uncle is too timid."

"I'll have a good talk with my uncle tomorrow." If he persuades his uncle to join the fourth prince's camp, the fourth prince will definitely look at him with admiration and will definitely use him in the future.

"I'll go with you tomorrow."

At this time, Jia Lian was telling Jia Amnesty what happened at the polo field.

Jia Amnesty was very angry at first, thinking that Shen Wenran was too arrogant and domineering, but when he heard that the Shen family was the cousin of the Yan family, he suddenly became angry, and he couldn't help but fear that the Shen family would make trouble for him.

"Why are you so impulsive?" Don't look at Jia She's fearless look at home, in fact he is very timid.When she heard that the Shen family was the cousin of the Yan family, she was immediately scared.

Jia Lian saw Father Cheap's frightened look, and looked contemptuous: "You mean that I should bear it if I was intentionally injured?"

Jia She glared at Jia Lian angrily: "The Shen family is the cousin of the Yan family. What is the identity of the Yan family? How can we provoke them?!" Although he is not a good official, it doesn't mean he doesn't know anything.

"Do you think I will cause trouble for the family?"

"What should I do this time?"

"Don't worry, the Shen family won't trouble our family."

"You beat up the Shen family's son, how could they let it go?"

"Prince Jin said that Shen Wenran and I were even, so don't worry about it. If the Shen family comes to trouble us, it means that they didn't take the prince's words seriously, which is disrespectful."

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he felt that it made sense, and instantly felt relieved: "That's good."

Jia Lian was taken aback by Jia She's slap on the chest, and he couldn't bear to look directly at him: "It scares you..."

Seeing that he was despised by his son, Jia She blew his beard and stared angrily: "You son of a bitch, do you know who the Yan family is?"

"Of course I know that the Yan family is the Queen's natal family, or the Grand Master's Mansion. It holds a very important position in the capital."

"Since you know, you still beat that boy from the Shen family." Jia Amnesty glared at Jia Lian fiercely, "Fortunately, Prince Jin protected you this time, otherwise the Shen family would definitely not let you go."

"Although the Shen family is a cousin of the Yan family, the relationship with the Yan family is not very good. Otherwise, why didn't Prince Jin help Shen Wenran?" He didn't think too much when he beat Shen Wenran, but after hearing Jia Zhu say Shen Wenran's identity, It did scare him a little.The Yan family is the top family in the capital. It can be said that if the Yan family stomps their feet, the whole capital will shake, and they cannot be provoked.

"Even if it's not good, the Shen family is also the cousin of the Yan family. This time, Prince Jin will come forward and won't trouble you. You can't be so impulsive in the future. The Yan family can pinch our family with a light move of your finger." His body was broken to pieces."

"I see."

At this moment, Jia Lian understood the importance of rights, and understood that in this world one should not act impulsively, otherwise one might lose one's life.

This world is not the world of the previous life, and he can't act like the previous life.

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Lian, and sighed softly: "In the future, if this kind of thing happens again, you don't want to participate." His son is young, talented, and appreciated by the fourth prince, so he will definitely be jealous.

Jia Lian nodded slightly: "I won't participate in the future." Can't be provoked, can't be avoided.

"take a good rest."

After Jia Amnesty left, Mother Zhao said unfairly on behalf of Jia Lian: "Master, it's true, it's fine if you don't comfort the young master, and you can blame the young master for acting impulsively. The young master was deliberately injured by someone on the polo field. Such a big grievance, of course, can't be just like this." never mind."

"Those people are just jealous that the young master is more talented than them."

"Fortunately, Prince Jin protected Young Master, otherwise..." Mother Zhao felt distressed when she saw the cloth belt around Jia Lian's head and the blood on his clothes.

Jia Lian waved his hands, telling Mammy Zhao and the others to stop talking: "This is the end of this matter, don't talk about it anymore." Anyway, he also took revenge.If Shen Wenran provokes him again in the future, at worst, he will play tricks and take revenge secretly.

"Master, this old slave asked the kitchen to cook some tonic for you, so I can give you some supplements." The young master broke his head half a year ago, and he was in a coma for a day and a night before waking up.I didn't expect to be hit on the head again this time. Fortunately, the young master was not seriously injured this time.

"No, it's not a serious injury, it's just a broken skin."

"Master, you've lost so much blood, you need to make up for it." After finishing speaking, Mammy Zhao stepped back and went to the kitchen to cook tonics.

"Master, do you want to take a bath?"

"Go ask someone to prepare hot water."

After taking a bath, Wang Shanbao and a few servants came over with a food box in their hands: "Young Master, this is a dish from the No. [-] Restaurant in the World. It is said that Prince Jin ordered them to deliver it."

"Put it in the master's house and ask the wife to have dinner together."

"Yes."

"The prince of Jin really values ​​the young master, and he specially asked the second restaurant in the world to deliver sumptuous dishes." Mother Zhao was very happy and proud to see that her young master was so liked by the prince of Jin.

"My lord, I must have seen that the young master was injured, so I specially asked the restaurant to send delicious food to make up for the young master."

Jia Lian pinched his chin and looked thoughtful. To be honest, he always felt that the fourth prince's attitude towards him was a bit strange.Even if the Fourth Prince liked his poems, he would not value him so much. After all, he is only an 11-year-old child now, and he has only taken the county and government examinations, and has nothing to do.

Taking a step back, the fourth prince thinks he is a potential stock and wants to buy him before he wins the number one prize, but whether he can win the number one prize is still a question.

Where exactly did he fall into the eyes of the fourth prince, and how did the fourth prince attach so much importance to him, it is really hard to figure out.

Jia Amnesty saw that Prince Jin sent someone to send delicious food, so he knew that his son was completely safe, and the Shen family did not dare to make trouble for his son.

"Prince Jin is really kind to our brother Lian." Mrs. Xing suddenly felt that her back half was safe.

"Lord Jin values ​​you so much, you must do well for him in the future, and don't let him down." His son was valued so much by Prince Jin, and Jia She felt that his back could straighten up.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Jia Lian struggled in his heart, and finally the glutton overcame his rationality.Forget it, no matter what purpose the fourth prince has, the delicious food delivered to your door is not free.

When Jia Zhu heard that the fourth prince sent people from the Second Restaurant in the World to deliver delicacies to Jia Lian, she overturned the table angrily, her face distorted with jealousy.

"What's so good about Jia Lian?" How is he not as good as Jia Lian, no matter in terms of knowledge or family background, he is better than Jia Lian, why the fourth prince doesn't value him, but appreciates Jia Lian.

The boy at the side was frightened by Jia Zhu's angry look, knelt on the ground tremblingly and persuaded, "Master, be careful not to get angry."

Jia Zhu walked up to the boy, reached out to grab him, and looked at him fiercely: "Tell me, how can I be inferior to Jia Lian?"

The young servant trembled from Jia Zhu's ferocious appearance, and stammered, "Master... is ten thousand times better than Master Lian...."

Jia Zhu threw the servant away fiercely, kicked over the chair beside her, and cursed out of reason, "Is Prince Jin blind? Jia Lian can't compare to me."

The boy really wanted to tell Jia Zhu that these words were outrageous, but seeing Jia Zhu's angry and distorted appearance, he didn't dare to speak out to persuade him.

Jia Zhu gritted her teeth and called, "Jia! Lian!"

Jia Lian, who was feasting, sneezed unexpectedly: "Ah!"

Mrs. Xing heard Jia Lian sneezing, she quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, and asked worriedly, "Did Brother Lian catch a cold?"

Jia Lian rubbed his itchy nose and shook his head at Mrs. Xing: "I'm fine, someone must be scolding me behind my back." The first thing he thought of was Jia Zhu.

"After the meal, I'd better ask a doctor to check the pulse." Mrs. Xing felt a little worried, "It will be bad if you get a cold."

"Mother, I'm not that delicate, so I don't need to find a doctor."

"If you still sneeze in the past two days, ask a doctor to come and have a look." Jia Lian is now Mrs. Xing's favorite, and she dare not let Jia Lian make the slightest mistake.

"it is good."

At the same time, Jia's mother had just finished her meal and was drinking tea. She was shocked to hear that the Fourth Prince had sent someone to bring dishes to Jia Lian.

Putting down the teacup in her hand, Mother Jia's expression was complicated: "I didn't expect Prince Jin to attach so much importance to Brother Lian."

"I heard that the dishes delivered are all delicacies from mountains and seas, and they are said to be a shock to Young Master Lian." Everyone Lai looked envious, "Master Jin really likes Young Master Lian." The eldest young master has never been treated like this by Prince Jin.

Mother Jia looked pensive, as if she couldn't understand why Prince Jin valued Jia Lian so much.It stands to reason that Prince Jin should value Brother Zhu at this time, after all, Prince Jin wants to win over Brother Zhu's uncle.

Seeing that Jia Mu's face was not very good, Lai everyone immediately shut up and dared not say anything.However, she muttered in her heart that the old lady valued the young master so much, but in the end the young master was not appreciated by Prince Jin.

Mother Jia seemed to think about it for a while, then raised her eyes to look at everyone Lai, and ordered, "Go get some supplements and send them to Brother Lian, and tell him to make up for it."

"Yes."

Mother Jia sighed, Brother Zhu said that he was appreciated by Prince Jin today, but not as good as Brother Lian.It's really unbelievable that Prince Jin likes brother Lian, brother Lian is inferior to brother Zhu in every aspect.

As soon as Jia Lian came back from Jia Amnesty, he saw everyone Lai coming with a bunch of things, and he didn't need to think about it to know that the old lady asked him to give it to him.This old lady is really snobbish to the extreme, and he doesn't know how to complain about her.

"Master Lian, this is a tonic given to you by the old lady. She said that you were injured, so you should take a good look at it."

Jia Lian said with a fake smile: "Thank you grandma for me." The old lady turned her face faster than turning a book, simply.

Everyone Lai saluted Jia Lian respectfully, and then left.When Lai everyone saw Jia Lian in the past, his attitude was very perfunctory, unlike the respectful attitude towards Jia Lian now.What kind of master really is, there is what kind of slave.

After taking a nap at home, Jia Lian went to Li Daoqing's house for class.

Seeing that Jia Lian was injured, Li Daoqing asked with concern, "Why are you injured?" Didn't his students go to participate in the polo tournament held by the Fourth Prince? Did they get injured during the match?

Jia Lian raised his hand to touch the bandage on his forehead, and said with a depressed face, "I was injured on purpose."

After hearing this, Li Daoqing's face immediately became serious: "What's going on?"

Jia Lian told Li Daoqing exactly what happened on the polo field.

Li Daoqing sighed after hearing this: "You are making people jealous, don't participate in this kind of activities in the future." His students are talented at a young age, and they are valued by the fourth prince, so it is inevitable that they will be envied.

"Sir, don't you think it's weird that the fourth prince is kind to me?" Jia Lian felt that the fourth prince was too kind to him, which was a bit too kind.

Li Daoqing knew what his student meant, so he smiled and comforted him and said, "What's weird, you are in the eyes of the fourth prince, so he naturally values ​​you."

"The fourth prince's attention will only arouse my jealousy." At the polo field today, those students looked at him, wishing he could cut him to pieces.

"Everything has a good side and a bad side." Li Daoqing raised his hand and patted his student's shoulder, comforting him, "Others can't get the fourth prince's attention even if they try their best. Don't be ignorant of your blessings." From Li Daoqing's point of view, it is extremely lucky to be valued by the fourth prince.

When Jia Lian heard Li Daoqing say this, he couldn't help but admire the fourth prince's bribery of scholars in his heart.

Li Daoqing suddenly thought of Wang Ziteng's promotion a few days ago, and asked curiously, "Where's Jia Zhu?"

"He doesn't seem to be favored by the fourth prince." About this, Jia Lian was also very puzzled. It stands to reason that if the fourth prince wants to win Prince Teng, he should pay attention to Jia Zhu, but he didn't.

"Didn't the fourth prince want to win over Prince Teng? Why didn't he value Jia Zhu?"

"I do not know either."

Li Daoqing stroked his beard, and thoughtfully said: "The fourth prince has a high status, so he won't condescend to please Jia Zhu just to win over Prince Teng."

Jia Lian felt that Li Daoqing was right, the fourth prince was a prince, how could he lower his status to curry favor with Jia Zhu in order to win over Prince Teng.

"The fourth prince is the queen's adopted son, so it is considered orthodox. Wang Ziteng should support the fourth prince." Li Daoqing's thoughts were also the thoughts of most scholars, who felt that the fourth prince should be the prince.

Jia Lian opened his mouth, looking at Li Daoqing hesitantly.

"What's the matter, do you have something to say?"

Jia Lian thought about it, but decided not to tell Li Daoqing.His thoughts are just his guesses, they are groundless, and even if you tell him, you won't believe me, so let's not talk about it.

"It's nothing." Wang Ziteng did not join the team of the First Prince or the Fourth Prince for a long time, maybe because he wanted to see how much the First Prince and the Fourth Prince could benefit him, or he was very smart and didn't want to participate in the battle for succession.

"The fourth prince appreciates you so much, you must study harder in the future, and don't let the fourth prince down."

"I will study hard." But not for the fourth prince, he was very grateful for the attention the fourth prince paid to him, but he couldn't accept it.

The chat between the master and the apprentice ended and the class continued.

After class at Li Daoqing's house, Jia Lian transferred to Wei Jiashen's house.

Knowing that he was going to participate in the polo competition, Wei Jiashen assigned him a homework, asking him to draw a picture of the polo competition, but unfortunately he couldn't finish it.

Jia Lian told Wei Jiashen what happened in the polo match, and Wei Jiashen shook his head: "These students don't study hard, but they hate other people's talents. They won't achieve anything in the future."

"Sir, I can't draw the polo match, you can assign another task."

"There will be a gathering on the Dragon Boat Festival to discuss painting. There will be many painters attending. You and I will attend."

When Jia Lian heard this, his eyes lit up: "Is there an art exhibition exchange?"

"Art exhibition exchange?" Wei Jiashen felt that this term was quite novel, but he said it quite rightly. "It is the exchange between painters. When the time comes, they will bring their own paintings and let others evaluate them."

"Can I just draw anything?"

Wei Jiashen nodded slightly: "Well, you can draw anything, you can prepare one during this time, and bring it to exchange when the time comes."

"Ok."

Wei Jiashen stopped gossiping and continued to teach Jia Lian about painting.

After returning from the polo field, Jia Lian originally thought that there would be some rumors, such as his timidity, and the matter between him and Shen Wenran, but there was nothing in the end. It seems that the fourth prince ordered not to let those people talk nonsense.

Jia Zhu went to Wang's house the next day to discuss the matter of the fourth prince with Wang Ziteng, but unexpectedly, she was severely reprimanded by Wang Ziteng.

"Uncle, the fourth prince is the queen's adopted son, so he is orthodox. You should support him."

"What do you know?" Wang Ziteng said with a cold face, "After you return to the academy, cut off contact with those people and return the gifts you received."

"Uncle, what are you afraid of?"

Wang Ziteng was too lazy to say too much to Jia Zhu, and ordered with a strong attitude: "Sever contact with the eldest prince and the fourth prince, and don't accept their benefits. If you let me know that you are using my name to associate with them, Don't blame me for not recognizing your nephew."

"uncle……"

"You still treat me as your uncle, so just listen to me."

"I see, uncle." Although Jia Zhu agreed with his mouth, he disagreed in his heart.

Wang Ziteng waved his hand and told Jia Zhu to go down.During this period of time, he was disturbed by the affairs of the eldest prince and the fourth prince.

After Jia Zhu came out of Wang Ziteng's study, she went to find Aunt Xue.

"Brother Zhu, you're here." Aunt Xue saw Jia Zhu's expression was not very good, and immediately guessed what happened. "You got scolded by your uncle?"

"Well, I don't understand why uncle is so careful?"

"Your uncle has just been promoted to be the Jiedu envoy of the Beijing Camp, and he has not yet established his footing. He dare not offend either the eldest prince or the fourth prince. Do you understand?"

"Auntie, the fourth prince is the queen's adopted son, so he should be supported."

Aunt Xue thinks so too, but elder brother doesn't think so.

"Your uncle has his own considerations, we should just listen to him."

Jia Zhu didn't talk about it again, and turned to look at her newborn little cousin.

Suddenly there was a soft laugh from outside the door: "I heard that Cousin Zhu is here."

Soon, a beautiful little girl in a blue dress came in, first bowed to Aunt Xue, then ran to Jia Zhu, and called sweetly: "Brother Zhu."

Jia Zhu reached out and touched the little girl's head, and said dotingly, "Sister Feng, I haven't seen you for a while, and you're pretty again."

The little girl covered her face and said with surprise, "Really? Didn't Cousin Zhu lie to me?"

Jia Zhu lightly pinched the little girl's face, and said with a smile, "Cousin didn't lie to you, our sister Feng is more beautiful the longer she grows."

The little girl has fair skin, a pair of red and phoenix triangular eyes, two curved willow eyebrows, a straight nose bridge, and bright red lips.Although the facial features have not yet opened, but she is already a beauty, people really look forward to what she will look like when she grows up.

This little girl is the niece of Wang Ziteng and Aunt Xue, her name is Xifeng, she is nine years old this year.
