Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

Jia Lian usually takes ten days of classes and takes one day off. Today is his rest time.

Even on days off, he gets up early in the morning to exercise as usual.During this period of time, he was diligent in exercising, coupled with nutrition to keep up, and he grew a little taller.

After exercising, washing up, and eating breakfast, Jia Lian first went to greet Jia Amnesty, and then went to greet Jia Mu.

As soon as I walked into Jiamu's yard, I heard Jiamu's loud laughter and Wang Xifeng's coquettish laughter.To be honest, he didn't expect that Wang Xifeng would stay in the mansion for such a long time, nor did he expect that Jia's mother would like Wang Xifeng so much.

Not only Jia's mother likes Wang Xifeng, but even the servants in the mansion like her.In the past few days, he has been hearing servants in the mansion say how beautiful, cute and likable Wang Xifeng is.

He read the original novel of the Red Chamber, and what impressed Wang Xifeng the most was that he was jealous and murdered for money.Her jealousy is so strong that even her personal maid, Ping'er, is jealous and guarded against it.In order to make money, she withheld monthly silver from everyone in the house and used it to lend money to earn interest.In order to make money, he agreed to the nun's request and killed a pair of fateful mandarin ducks.

In the original book, Wang Xifeng killed several people with very powerful means and scheming.Such a woman, Jia Lian thought he couldn't hold it.

Walking into the room and seeing Mrs. Wang there, Jia Lian first saluted Jia Mu, and then saluted Mrs. Wang.

Seeing Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng's red phoenix eyes suddenly became bright, and she bowed to him very ladylikely, and called out sweetly: "Brother Lian."

Jia Lian replied indifferently: "Cousin Feng."

"Brother Lian, don't you have to go to class today?" Mrs. Wang asked suddenly.

When Jia Lian heard Mrs. Wang's question, she twitched her brows slightly, feeling a bad premonition in her heart.

"Yes, rest today."

Wang Xifeng, who was standing beside Jia Mu, immediately showed a bright smile on her pretty face when she heard this.Great, Cousin Lian finally rested.

Mrs. Wang raised the corners of her lips slightly, showing a meaningful smile: "Brother Lian, you are resting today, can you take Sister Feng around?"

When Jia Lian heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He came, but he didn't mean well.

Just when Jia Lian was about to find an excuse to refuse, she heard Jia's mother say: "Sister Feng came to the mansion for a few days and stayed with me all the time, and didn't go anywhere else. Since you don't have to go to class today, brother Lian, Just walk around with Sister Feng."

Wang Xifeng was afraid that Jia Lian would refuse, so Jia's mother immediately said, "Cousin Lian, please."

Jia Lian couldn't refuse even if he wanted to, so he could only agree: "Okay."

Seeing that Jia Lian agreed, Wang Xifeng showed him a nice smile: "Thank you, Cousin Lian."

"Brother Lian will take Sister Feng for a stroll around the mansion."

"Yes."

Wang Xifeng bowed to Jia's mother, then ran to Jia Lian's side, raised her head and looked at Jia Lian expectantly.

Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng, and sighed helplessly in her heart, what was supposed to come always came.

"Grandmother, Second Aunt, let's take our leave first."

"Go."

Jia Lian took Wang Xifeng out of Jiamu's house, "Cousin Feng, where do you want to go first?"

Wang Xifeng followed Jia Lian, her heart was beating violently, and her face was slightly flushed because of excitement or shyness.

"It's all up to Cousin Lian to decide."

Jia Lian would like to say that there is nothing to visit in Rongguo Mansion without the establishment of the Grand View Garden.Besides, he himself hadn't visited the Rongguo Mansion properly.

"Then we'll just walk around."

Wang Xifeng looked up at Jia Lian quietly, blushing and whispered, "Yes."

"Let's go."

Jia Lian took Wang Xifeng to see Rongxi Hall first, but he was not a good tour guide, so he took Wang Xifeng to see it silently.

Wang Xifeng followed Jia Lian, all his attention was on him, and he didn't look at the surrounding scenery at all.

Jia Lian didn't want to have too much contact with Wang Xifeng, so he didn't want to say anything to her.And Wang Xifeng was embarrassed to say anything for a moment.In this way, the two walked in silence.

It is spring now, the flowers in the courtyard are in bloom, and the scenery of Rongguo Mansion is not bad.

Jia Lian was attracted by the antique buildings while strolling around, forgetting the existence of Wang Xifeng.He studied architecture in his previous life and has always been interested in ancient buildings.

Suddenly, the sleeves were pulled, Jia Lian stopped, turned around suspiciously, and saw Wang Xifeng wrinkled her small face in grievance, her heart skipped a beat.

"Cousin Feng, what's the matter?"

Wang Xifeng pulled Jia Lian's sleeve, bit her lip and looked at him with a very aggrieved expression.

The pretty little Lolita bit her lip and looked at him aggrievedly. Jia Lian couldn't help but soften her heart, and her tone softened: "What's wrong, you don't feel well?"

Wang Xifeng bit her lips: "Cousin Lian, do you not like me?"

When Jia Lian heard this, his expression froze involuntarily, but he quickly recovered and smiled slightly: "No."

Wang Xifeng was stunned by Jia Lian's pretty smile, looked up at him blankly, and then said stupidly: "Cousin Lian, you are so pretty."

When Jia Lian heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "Hehehe..."

Hearing Jia Lian's laughter, Wang Xifeng came back to her senses and realized what she just said, her face turned red, blood dripping from the red ground.

Seeing Wang Xifeng's blushing face, her head lowered, and her hands tightly twisted together, Jia Lian knew she was shy, and quickly put away her smile.

"Thank you, Cousin Feng, for your compliment. You look good too."

"Really?" Wang Xifeng raised his head abruptly, looking at Jia Lian with eyes full of surprise.

"real."

Wang Xifeng showed a smile brighter than today's sunshine on her small face, that's great, Cousin Lian said she was beautiful.

Seeing the bright and bright smile on Wang Xifeng's face, Jia Lian couldn't help but startled, and exclaimed in her heart, it's normal to be so beautiful at a young age, and it's normal to become a fairy concubine when she grows up. It's no wonder that Jia Lian in the original book is fascinated by her live.

"Go on."

Wang Xifeng smiled and nodded: "En."

Jia Lian brought Wang Xifeng to the garden of Rongguo Mansion, which was full of colorful flowers.

Seeing the flowers blooming in the garden, Wang Xifeng ran over happily: "It's so beautiful."

Jia Lian stood aside, watching Wang Xifeng happily shuttle among the flowers, fluttering butterflies from time to time.

If the little girl in front of her was not Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian would appreciate the scene in front of her very much.

Even if the loli in front of him wasn't Wang Xifeng, he didn't have the patience to wander around with a little girl.He wanted to go back and read books, and he wanted to go back and paint the paintings he participated in the Dragon Boat Festival art exhibition for exchange.

Wang Xifeng is still a little girl now, of course she will become excited when she sees beautiful flowers and butterflies, but she soon came to her senses, seeing Jia Lian standing aside and watching her quietly, she felt very embarrassed .

Seeing Wang Xifeng stop, Jia Lian asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Xifeng blushed and looked at Jia Lian timidly: "Cousin Lian, I want to...catch butterflies."

Jia Lian didn't expect Wang Xifeng to say such a thing, so he couldn't help being stunned, but then he thought that Wang Xifeng was a child, and he felt relieved.

"Xing'er."

Xing'er, who had been following behind, heard Jia Lian calling him, and hurried over: "Young Master, what are your orders?"

"Go and get a net for Miss Wang."

"Let's go now, little one." Xing'er worked quickly, and after a while, he brought a catch net over and handed it to Wang Xifeng.

"Cousin Lian, you play with me."

"Catching butterflies is something you little girls do, so I won't do it."

Wang Xifeng really wanted to play with Jia Lian. She used to catch butterflies and dragonflies with her brothers at home.

"Cousin Lian doesn't play, so I won't play either."

"I'm watching you play."

Hearing what Jia Lian said, Wang Xifeng smiled: "I will definitely catch big and beautiful butterflies for Cousin Lian." After speaking, she took the net and started catching butterflies.She must catch butterflies well to make Cousin Lian happy.

Jia Lian stood aside, watching Wang Xifeng running around among the flowers with a catch net.

"Master, Miss Wang is really pretty." It was the first time he saw such a pretty girl.

Jia Lian couldn't deny that Wang Xifeng was indeed a beauty, but unfortunately this beauty was poisonous.

"But still not as good-looking as the young master." Xing'er said with a smile, the longer the young master of their family is, the more beautiful he is. He has never seen anyone who is more beautiful than the young master.

Hearing Xing'er's flattery, Jia Lian couldn't help laughing: "You are not rewarded for flattering."

"The little one is telling the truth."

"Stop flattering, go and help Miss Wang catch butterflies." Let Wang Xifeng catch the butterflies quickly, so that he can go back early.

"Yes, the little one is in the past."

Xinger went to help Wang Xifeng catch butterflies, but was rejected.

"I want to catch butterflies myself, and I want to catch a big butterfly and give it to Cousin Lian."

Wang Xifeng took the catching net and caught it for a long time, but she didn't catch a single butterfly. She was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Jia Lian didn't know when he was sitting on a stone bench in the garden, drinking tea and eating snacks, while watching Wang Xifeng fluttering butterflies.

Wang Xifeng couldn't catch the butterfly after catching for a long time. She was too tired to run, so she had to go to Jia Lian for help pitifully.

"Cousin Lian, I'm sorry, I didn't catch a butterfly."

Seeing that Wang Xifeng was about to cry, Jia Lian picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to her: "It's okay, take a rest first, and catch it later."

Wang Xifeng sat down opposite Jia Lian, took a bite of the pastry and ate it.

Jia Lian enjoyed the scenery in the garden while drinking tea.

"Cousin Lian, what do you like to eat?" Wang Xifeng asked suddenly.

Jia Lian was taken aback by the question, then smiled and said, "I like to eat delicious things."

"Cousin Lian, what do you like to play? What do you like to do?"

"like reading."

Hearing this answer, Wang Xifeng was a little taken aback, she didn't like reading books the most.

"Cousin Lian must be very good at reading."

"well enough."

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian, his eyes were full of hesitation, bit his lip, and finally decided to ask. "Cousin Lian, do you like..." Before he could finish speaking, his little face was flushed with embarrassment, and he still didn't ask in the end.

She really wanted to ask Jia Lianxi if she liked her, but this kind of question was too embarrassing, so she still didn't ask it.

"Cousin Feng, are you tired, do you want to go back and rest?"

Wang Xifeng shook her head: "I'm not tired, I want to continue playing with Cousin Lian."

Jia Lian: "..."

The two ate snacks in the garden for a while, and then continued to stroll.

"Cousin Lian, I can't walk anymore, can I hold your hand?" Wang Xifeng looked up at Jia Lian expectantly.

Being watched eagerly by the little girl, Jia Lian couldn't bear to refuse, so he stretched out his hand to Wang Xifeng: "You can't walk anymore, I'll take you back to rest."

Wang Xifeng grabbed Jia Lian's hand and said with a smile, "Okay."

Jia Lian led Wang Xifeng back, but she didn't notice Wang Xifeng's secretly delighted expression.

After sending Wang Xifeng to Jia's mother, Jia Lian found an excuse to escape.He was afraid to stay any longer, so Wang Xifeng asked him to go out to play again.

Back in his room, Jia Lian plunged into the study.Although there are still three or four months before the college exam, he still can't relax. After all, the college exam has to test the laws, and he has to memorize the laws of the Dalong Dynasty in these few months.

At lunch time, Wang Xifeng and everyone from Lai came over together.

Seeing Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian frowned slightly, what was she going to do?

Wang Xifeng ran over to Jia Lian, took his hand, and said happily with his small face up, "Cousin Lian, the old ancestor asked you to have lunch together."

Everyone Lai on the side added: "Master Lian, the old lady invites you to have lunch with her."

"Cousin Lian, the ancestor made a lot of delicious food in the kitchen, let's go over there to eat." After speaking, Wang Xifeng pulled Jia Lian forward.

Jia Lian was dragged away for a while, then silently withdrew her hand from Wang Xifeng's, and said with a faint smile, "Cousin Feng, I can walk by myself." The old lady was messing around again.

"Cousin Lian, the ancestor said to watch a play in the afternoon, so you should watch it too."

Seeing Wang Xifeng grabbing his hand again, Jia Lian felt very helpless, why does this little girl like to hold his hand so much?

"Cousin Lian, what kind of drama do you like to watch?"

"I don't like going to the theater."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, a disappointed expression immediately appeared on her little face, but she soon cheered up, and then asked: "Cousin Lian, do you like watching acrobatics?"

"I don't like it either."

"Oh..." Wang Xifeng lost energy for a moment, and her small face became listless.

"Cousin Feng, I have something to do with my husband in the afternoon, you can go to the theater with grandma." Obviously, this little girl has taken a fancy to him, and he must keep a distance from her to prevent his second aunt from messing around.

"Cousin Lian, don't you have a rest today, don't you have to go to school with your husband?"

"I don't understand something, so I need to ask my husband for advice." In order not to be entangled by this little girl, he should go to hide with his husband for a while.

"Can't we go tomorrow?"

Jia Lian said seriously: "If I don't ask clearly today, I won't be able to sleep, so I can't wait until tomorrow."

Wang Xifeng glared at Jia Lian angrily, and cursed a nerd in his heart.

Seeing Jia Lian walking in holding Wang Xifeng's hand, Mrs. Wang smiled meaningfully: "Brother Lian is here."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was there, Jia Lian frowned slightly, gently pushed away Wang Xifeng's hand, and bowed to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang: "I have seen my grandmother, I have seen my second aunt."

Jia Mu beckoned to Wang Xifeng: "Sister Feng, come here."

Wang Xifeng ran to Jiamu's side and coquettishly called out: "Old ancestor."

Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "Brother Lian, Miss Feng specially invited you over for dinner."

Mother Jia touched Wang Xifeng's head, and said teasingly, "Girl Feng said that she thanked Brother Lian for playing with her all morning, so she wanted to invite Brother Lian to dinner."

Wang Xifeng was very embarrassed by the ridicule, and threw herself into Jiamu's arms shyly.

"Brother Lian, sit down and eat."

Jia Lian was struck by the kind smile on Mrs. Wang's face, it was the first time he saw his second aunt smiling so pleasantly at him.

"Thank you, Second Aunt." As soon as Jia Lian sat down, Wang Xifeng stood up from Jia's mother's arms, went to Jia Lian's side and sat down.

Mrs. Wang saw Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian sitting together, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened: "Brother Lian, Sister Feng likes to play with you very much, you have more time to play with her."

"Second Aunt, I also really want to play with Cousin Feng, but I have something to go to Mr.'s place in the afternoon."

"Aren't you resting today? Why are you still going to Mr.?"

"I don't understand something, so I'm going to ask my husband for advice."

"You can ask Mr. Feng for advice tomorrow, and this afternoon, I will accompany my ancestors to the theater with Sister Feng."

With a troubled face, Jia Lian said in embarrassment: "If I don't figure it out today, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."

Mother Jia took a deep look at Mrs. Wang, knowing what she was thinking: "Study is important, I just have Sister Feng to accompany me to the theater in the afternoon."

When Mrs. Wang heard what Jia Mu said, she couldn't say anything more: "Then I will accompany my mother to the theater in the afternoon."

"it is good."

"Move chopsticks."

While eating, Wang Xifeng secretly observed what kind of food Jia Lian liked to eat.

Jia Lian looked at the sudden extra piece of duck meat in the bowl, and looked up at Wang Xifeng in surprise.

Wang Xifeng smiled sweetly at Jia Lian: "Cousin Lian, this roast duck is delicious, try it."

Jia Lian: "...Thank you."

"You're welcome." After Wang Xifeng finished speaking, she took another piece of duck meat for Jia Mu, "The old ancestor will try it too."

"Sister Feng is really caring."

"Auntie, you should try it too."

"Thank you, Sister Feng."

Next, Wang Xifeng brought food to Jia Lian from time to time, and then to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

Seeing Wang Xifeng's actions, Jia Lian sighed in his heart, it's really...

After lunch, Jia Lian left.

Wang Xifeng looked at the back of Jia Lian leaving, his eyes were full of reluctance.

Mrs. Wang said: "When your cousin Lian comes back, you can go and play with him."

Wang Xifeng's eyes suddenly recovered, and he said with a smile: "Okay."

When Jia Lian returned to his room, Feng'er brought him a cup of tea: "Master, Miss Wang is really beautiful, even more beautiful than Missy." It was the first time she saw such a good-looking lady.

"Master..." Zhao Mama looked at Jia Lian hesitantly.

Jia Lian put down the teacup and looked at Zhao Nanny: "Mommy, speak up if you have something to say."

"Master, after all, Ms. Wang is from the Wang family, so you should not get too close to her." As expected of an old man in the Rongguo Mansion, Zhao Mama could tell what Mrs. Wang was up to at a glance.

Jia Lian nodded slightly: "I know."

When Feng'er heard the conversation between Nanny Zhao and Jia Lian, she looked puzzled: "Mammy, why can't the young master get too close to Miss Wang?" Miss Wang is pretty, sweet-mouthed, and very likable.

"She is the second wife's biological niece." Zhao Momo reminded.

Feng'er is not stupid, upon hearing this, she reacted instantly, with a look of astonishment on her face: "Nurse, what do you mean..."

"I'll take a nap, go to Mr.'s in the afternoon, and won't come back for dinner in the evening."

"Master, aren't you resting today? Why are you going to Mr.'s?"

"Go to Mr. to avoid disaster."

Seeing Jia Lian coming to his house, Wei Jiashen was very surprised: "Why are you here?"

"Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. I haven't painted yet, so I want to paint with my husband today, and let him guide me by the way."

Wei Jiashen nodded lightly: "Alright."

Jia Lian spread out the paper and stood in front of the table with a thoughtful expression on his face, thinking about what he should draw.Suddenly, a little pink loli appeared in her mind, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily raised.

With an idea, Jia Lian picked up a pen and began to draw on the rice paper.

After Wei Jiashen finished his painting, he walked to Jia Lian's side very lightly, and stood aside to see what his students were painting.

Jia Lian is painting a cherry blossom tree with pink petals flying in the air.

Wei Jiashen stood aside, patiently looking at the picture drawn by his students stroke by stroke.When I saw a little girl drawn by my students, the little girl was sitting under a cherry blossom tree, eating pastries with her head down.Although I can't see the little girl's face, I can imagine that the little girl is very cute.

After a long time, Jia Lian finally finished the painting, stopped writing, and breathed a sigh of relief.Looking at my own painting, I feel pretty good.

"The overall painting is not bad." Wei Jiashen on the side began to comment, "The lines of the little girl's side face are a bit unnatural, and the color is too single, without layers."

"Thank you sir for pointing out the shortcomings."

"Who is this little girl?" Wei Jiashen could tell from the paintings of his students that Jia Lian had a good impression of this little girl, so he couldn't help being curious.

"I don't know who it is, I met it when I went to Fuling Temple last time."

"Why don't you draw the face?"

"I feel that the drawing is not very good." After all, it is a real person, and the face was drawn without the person's permission, which feels like a violation of other people's right to privacy.Besides, this world is very strict with women, if he draws the face of little Lolita, it will probably bring trouble to little Lolita.

Wei Jiashen felt that his students were right to worry: "Since this is the case, you should draw another one, and draw the person's expression." The most important thing in figure painting is the expression.

"Okay." Jia Lian carefully put away the painting he just drew.

All afternoon, Jia Lian was painting at Wei Jiashen's place.He didn't know that Wang Xifeng had been waiting for him to come back, waiting for him eagerly.

Wang Xifeng waited until dark, but did not see Jia Lian coming back, feeling very lost and sad.Cousin Lian will go to her husband's class again tomorrow, so she won't have a chance to talk with cousin Lian again.

Jia Lianxu didn't come back until four o'clock. As soon as she got home, she heard Zhao Mama say that Wang Xifeng had come many times in the afternoon, and she kept asking him when he would come back.

"Master, Ms. Wang is eagerly waiting for you to come back." Feng'er thought of Wang Xifeng running over again and again in the afternoon, asking the young master if he was back again and again with anticipation, and left disappointed when he heard that the young master hadn't come back.At Youshi, Ms. Wang came over again and asked if the young master had come back. When she heard that the young master hadn't come back, the expression on her face was very aggrieved, and she looked like she was about to cry, which made people feel distressed.

Jia Lian sighed slightly: "Don't worry about her." If she wasn't Wang Xifeng or Second Aunt's niece, he might like her very much.Of course not the kind of love between men and women.

Feng'er couldn't bear it, and wanted to speak for Wang Xifeng, but thought that Wang Xifeng was the second wife's niece, so she gave up.

The next day, before Jia Lian went to school, he went to see Jia's mother and saw Wang Xifeng looking at him with resentful and accusing eyes.

Jia Lian pretended not to see it, and after greeting Jia's mother, she went to school.

For the next few days, Wang Xifeng could only see Jia Lian in the morning, and could not speak a few words.

The [-]th birthday of the old lady of the Wang family is approaching, and Wang Xifeng has to leave Rongguo Mansion and return to the Wang family.

On the morning of returning home, Jia Lian greeted Jia's mother and was about to go to school when Wang Xifeng stopped him: "Cousin Lian, I'm going home today."

"When you go back, be careful on the road."

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian reluctantly, bit her lips tightly, and asked hesitantly, "Cousin Lian, do you not like me?" Regardless of Wang Xifeng's young age, she has a good sense of words and expressions. It can be seen that Jia Lian is very indifferent to her.
