Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

Jia Zhu failed in the provincial examination, which dealt a big blow to Erfang and the others.Before the township examination started, they thought that Jia Zhu would definitely pass the exam, and they showed off and showed off everywhere, but they didn't expect Jia Zhu to fail the exam.

Mrs. Wang and the others not only became a joke, but also lost a lot of money.Before the start of the township examination, Mrs. Wang went to the gambling house to bet on Jia Zhuneng's Jieyuan in the examination. She bet 1 taels of silver, with a ratio of ten to one.Jia Zhu's failure this time meant that she had to pay 10 taels of silver.

10 taels of silver is not a small amount. Although the Rongguo Mansion is a family with some background, but these years have spent a lot of money and income, so there is not much money.In addition, Mrs. Wang was in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, and she embezzled a lot of money from the public and took it for herself.

It is impossible for Mrs. Wang to pay for 10 taels of silver this time, but there is no 10 taels of silver in the Rongguo Mansion.She wants to get some things to sell, but these things have records.If she checks the accounts in the future and finds that these things are not there, she will not be able to explain.

Before, there were only two or three gifts left, and they were all excellent things. She was reluctant to sell them and wanted to keep them for Jia Zhu in the future.

After thinking about it, she couldn't think of a good way to get money, so Mrs. Wang put her idea on the ancestral land of Rongguo Mansion.Before, a member of the staff wanted to buy a piece of ancestral land in Rongguo Mansion, saying that the Fengshui was good there, and he wanted to buy it to build a Zhuangzi.

Mrs. Wang sent someone Zhou Rui to handle this matter quietly. This piece of ancestral land needs to be sold for 10 taels, not a penny less.

Zhou Rui went to deal with this matter and found the former employee.Yuanwai said that 10 taels of silver was too much, and he would pay [-] taels at most.It's fine if you don't sell it for [-].

Zhou Rui came back and told Mrs. Wang that Yuanwai was only willing to pay 7 taels of silver to buy it.If the 7 taels of silver is not sold, he will not buy it.

Mrs. Wang was in a hurry to ask for money, so she could only agree to sell it for 7 taels of silver.Fortunately, this ancestral land is not very fertile, and all kinds of fruit trees are planted, so selling it will not affect it.

Zhou Rui sold the ancestral land, gave 7 taels of silver to Mrs. Wang, and swallowed 1 taels of silver for himself.Mrs. Wang didn't know about this matter.

Selling the ancestral land earned 7 taels of silver, but there was still a shortfall of 3 taels of silver. Mrs. Wang had no choice but to sell one of the three good things left before, which happened to be 3 taels of silver. Ten thousand taels of silver were collected.

Mrs. Wang didn't tell Jia Zheng or Jia Zhu about these things, only Zhou Rui and Zhou Rui's family knew.

Mrs. Wang lost her wife and lost her army this time, and suffered heavy losses.

"Ma'am, don't go to the casino to bet next time. We lost 12 taels these two times." Zhou Rui's family reminded in a low voice.

Hearing 12 taels of silver, Mrs. Wang's heart was bleeding, and all the income of the Rongguo Mansion for a year did not add up to do so.

Zhou Rui's family saw Mrs. Wang's expression was not reconciled, thinking that she wanted to go to the gambling house to bet again, and hurriedly said: "Madam, we have no money, unless you take out your ladder to bet next time."

Of course Mrs. Wang was reluctant to gamble with her own money, but she was unwilling to lose 12 taels of silver.

"I see." She had to find a way to win back the 12 taels of silver.

Here Mrs. Wang is worried about money at home, while at Qingshan Academy, Jia Zhu's life is a bit difficult.

Before the start of the township examination, someone asked Jia Zhu if he was confident that he would pass the exam. Jia Zhu said very confidently that he could pass the exam.

After the results of the township examination were announced, Jia Zhu failed the ranking, which became a big joke in Qingshan Academy.Many people fawned over him before, but after the provincial examination, everyone stayed away from him and stopped interacting with him, and he was isolated by everyone.

Before, Wang Ziteng was promoted to be the Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp, and both the eldest prince and the fourth prince wanted to win him over, so the students of Qingshan Academy all wanted to please Jia Zhu.However, several months passed, Wang Ziteng did not accept the kindness of the eldest prince or the fourth prince, and insisted on being neutral.This annoyed the eldest prince and the fourth prince, who felt that Wang Ziteng was too ignorant.From the beginning of August, the eldest prince and the fourth prince stopped courting Prince Teng.

Wang Ziteng remained neutral, which was considered a good result for the First Prince and Fourth Prince.The two princes temporarily let Wang Ziteng go without embarrassing him.

Since Wang Ziteng took a neutral attitude, there is no need for the two princes to win him over, nor to please the people around Wang Ziteng, so Jia Zhu loses its use value, and naturally the students of Qingshan Academy will not be able to use it anymore. please him.

Jia Zhu first failed the provincial examination, and then was isolated by those who fawned on him before. The double blow made him fall ill.

Seeing that Jia Zhu fell ill, Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother were very worried, so they hurriedly invited the imperial physician to come for diagnosis and treatment.The imperial doctor said that it was stagnation in my heart, and I just need to relax.

Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother guessed that Jia Zhu would not be able to accept her failure, so they became depressed and fell ill.

"Brother Lian is all to blame. If brother Lian helps Brother Zhu copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for blessings, Brother Zhu will not fail the ranking, let alone fall ill." Mrs. Wang blamed all the faults on Jia Lian.

This time, Mrs. Wang failed to provoke Jia's mother, but she still complained that Jia Lian didn't have Jia Zhu to copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for blessings, but she knew that Jia Lian couldn't be blamed for Jia Zhu's failure.

"Brother Zhu, you have only been studying in Qingshan Academy for half a year. It is normal that you failed the exam this time. Next time, you will definitely pass the exam."

Mrs. Wang echoed from the side: "Yes, yes, you will definitely pass the exam next time."

Jia Zheng comforted in a gentle voice: "Zhu Er, you said it yourself before, this time you took the provincial examination just to try it out, so if you fail the exam, it's nothing, don't feel ashamed, after all, you only went to Qingshan Academy for half a year. Next You will definitely pass the exam the next time."

After Jia Zhu was comforted by several elders, he felt much better and felt that it was nothing. After all, he only went to Qingshan Academy to study for half a year, so it is normal for him to fail the exam.Three years later, if he takes the exam again, he will definitely pass the exam.For those people in the academy, he will settle the debt slowly and get it back from them, so that they will never dare to treat him like this again.

The day after Jia Zhu came back was the Mid-Autumn Festival. This time, Jia Lian was not only invited by the Nanlan Poetry Society, but also by the Dongmei Poetry Society.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important festivals of the year. Every year, the four major poetry gatherings on the Mid-Autumn Festival will hold poetry gatherings, and they are very grand, even more lively than the poetry gatherings on the Lantern Festival.

Jia Lian refused the invitation of the two major poetry clubs on the grounds that he wanted to take part in the academy examination.The last time he participated in the poetry meeting of the Shangyuan Festival, it caused him a lot of trouble.If I go to participate in the poetry meeting again this time, I don't know what trouble I will cause.In two days, he will take the college entrance examination, so it's better for him to keep a low profile.

When Jia Zhu heard that Jia Lian had received invitations from Dongmei Poetry Society and Nanlan Poetry Society, he was filled with jealousy and anger, which made his condition worse.

What he tried so hard to get, but Jia Lian got it easily, how could he not be jealous.

Jia Zhu's condition worsened, which frightened Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, and Ma Daopo was called to see her again.

Ma Daopo said that copying more Buddhist scriptures and enshrining them in front of the Buddha statue, and donating more money for sesame oil, would make Jia Zhu better.

As soon as Mrs. Wang heard about the copying of Buddhist scriptures, she turned her idea on Jia Lian.Before asking Jia Lian to help copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for blessings, Jia Lian refused, which caused Zhu Geer to fail the exam.But this time copying the Buddhist scriptures will make Brother Zhu feel better, so she must let Jia Lian copy them.

When Jia's mother heard what Ma Daopo said, her first reaction was to ask Jia Lian to help copy the Buddhist scriptures, and sent everyone to call Jia Lian.

When Jia Lian saw that everyone came to him, he knew that nothing good would happen.Let Xing'er go and call Jia She, and he and Jia She will go there together.It's best to let his cheap father do it for such things as the old lady.

Jia Amnesty took Jia Lian to Jia Mu's place. As soon as the two finished their salutes, Jia Mu told Jia Lian to help copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for Jia Zhu.

After listening to Jia Mu's words, Jia Lian sneered twice in his heart, and they had to use the stalk of copying Buddhist scriptures several times.Before Jia Zhu had to take the provincial examination, he asked him to help copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for blessings.This time Jia Zhu was ill, so he asked him to help copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for blessings.It seems that copying Buddhist scriptures and praying for blessings is a panacea, which can not only make people pass the exam, but also cure diseases.

"Brother Lian has three days to take the college entrance examination, so he has no time to copy Buddhist scriptures." When his son is what, Jia Zhu asks his son to help copy Buddhist scriptures for everything.

"Brother Zhu is seriously ill. Ma Daopo said that if you copy more Buddhist scriptures and enshrine them in front of the Buddha, Brother Zhu will recover quickly."

"Uncle, in the face of Brother Zhu being your own nephew, please help me." Mrs. Wang said pleadingly.

"Brother Lian is going to take a college entrance examination, so he has no time to copy Buddhist scriptures." Jia She looked at Mrs. Wang sarcastically, "Sister and sister, don't you have hands? Can't you copy Buddhist scriptures yourself?"

"I have to take care of Brother Zhu, and I don't have time to copy Buddhist scriptures."

"Letting Brother Lian copy the Buddhist scriptures is also good for him. Not only can Brother Lian calm down, but also let the Buddha protect Brother Lian." Jia Mu knew the elder son's temper, and he would take the soft rather than the hard, so there was no need to be tough. The tone made Jia Lian copy Buddhist scriptures.

"Mother, I told you that brother Lian is going to take the college entrance examination, and he has to read and study for the past two days, so he doesn't have time to copy Buddhist scriptures."

Jia Mu was offended by Jia Amnesty's ignorant attitude, and said coldly, "Is Zhu Ge'er's body important in the examination?"

Jia Amnesty laughed angrily at Mother Jia's words: "For me, my son's entrance exam is the most important thing."

"You, you..." Mother Jia pointed at Jia She, trembling with anger, "Brother Zhu is your own nephew, and you just watched him fall ill, do you have any humanity?"

"Uncle, Brother Zhu is your nephew, how can you treat Brother Zhu like this?"

"Brother Lian is my own son. My nephew is not as important as my son." Jia Amnesty replied unceremoniously, "If you want to copy Buddhist scriptures, you should copy them yourself. Don't delay my son's entrance exam."

Jia's mother's face was ashen when Jia Amnesty said, her chest heaved violently: "You... this inhuman beast..."

Mrs. Wang sat aside, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

Jia Lian couldn't bear the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, so she rolled her eyes indecently.He really didn't want to entangle with them, so he said impatiently: "You can ask monks or nuns to copy Buddhist scriptures, they are monks, copying Buddhist scriptures to pray for blessings will be more effective."

When Jia's mother heard this, her eyes lit up and she thought it was a good idea.

"Yes, yes, we can ask the masters of the nunnery to help copy Buddhist scriptures."

Mrs. Wang wanted Jia Lian to help copy Buddhist scriptures, but when she heard what Jia Mu said, she couldn't say anything more, so she could only pretend to say, "Why didn't we think of this method?"

"If the eldest brother's illness is still not good, grandma, you can ask eminent monks or mages to do it." Jia Lian's tone was full of sarcasm.

"In the future, don't come to Brother Lian for help if you have nothing to do." Jia She looked at Mrs. Wang coldly, "Brother Lian is busy studying and taking exams, so I don't have time to help you."

Mrs. Wang's face was flushed red by what Jia She said, and she was angry.

"Mom has nothing else to do, so let's go first."

Mother Jia didn't bother to talk to Jia Amnesty any more, she quickly waved her hands like chasing flies away: "Let's go."

Jia Amnesty stopped after taking two steps, looked at Mrs. Wang meaningfully, and then deliberately said to Jia's mother: "Mother, I heard that the second younger brother took in a new aunt a while ago, maybe it won't be long before you come again I'm going to have a grandson."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her face immediately became gloomy, and a look of ferocity flashed in her eyes.During this period of time, she was busy dealing with the loss of money, and brother Zhu was ill, so she forgot about Aunt Zhao, that vixen.

Following Jia She's words, Jia Lian pretended to be very happy and said, "Will you have a younger brother or younger sister? It's really exciting."

Mother Jia thought that there would be a child in the family soon, and she smiled expectantly on her face: "There has been no child in the family for a long time, if she can give birth to a child for Zheng'er, that would be great."

Mrs. Wang bit her lips tightly when she heard Jia Mu's words.She would never let that vixen have a baby.

Jia Amnesty didn't say anything, and left with Jia Lian.

"After a while, please ask the doctor to feel the pulse of Aunt Zhao." Mother Jia hoped that the younger son would have more children and more blessings, and she not only did not object to the fact that the Na family had a son as Auntie, but also very much agreed.

Mrs. Wang raised her head, with a gentle smile on her face, she said virtuously: "Mother didn't tell me, I have exactly the same intention."

When Mrs. Wang said this, Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction, "As a mistress, you should be so virtuous. You've done a good job."

"This is what I should do." Mrs. Wang said so, but she hated her to death.

After leaving Jiamu's courtyard, Jia Lian said to Jia Amnesty: "I think we should fill in some obstacles for the second aunt and the old lady, so as not to come to me if there is anything to do." You must leave the Rongguo Mansion and sever ties with the Jia family, or you will be in the future. There will be more trouble.

"Leave this matter to me, and you can study for the exam with peace of mind."

Jia Lian wanted to tell Jia Amnesty if he had thought about breaking up the family, but now is not the time.

On August [-]th, everything is in order, and it is the day of the college entrance examination.

The place where the college exam took place this time was the same as the place where the government exam was taken before, in the Wenqing Academy.

Jia Lian got up immediately and checked the luggage once or twice.The weather in August is still very hot, and there are mosquitoes, so this time bring something to prevent heatstroke and mosquitoes.Although he was not allowed to take a bath in the examination room, Jia Lian, who was a bit of a cleanliness, still brought three sets of clothes for washing. He didn't want to be stinked to death by himself during the examination.

After breakfast at home, Jia Lian went to the examination room, this time Jia Amnesty still sent him to the examination.

After saying goodbye to Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian took his luggage and walked into the Wenqing Academy. At a glance, it was a dark place, just like the government examination, there were about four to five hundred candidates.

Walking into the courtyard, Jia Lian soon found that there were many soldiers. There were also soldiers in the government examination last time, but not many. This time there were soldiers in every corner of the examination, and each soldier's expression was very solemn, just like here It's not the examination institute, but the barracks.

Probably because they were intimidated by the tall and expressionless soldiers. Although there were many people, they were very quiet.Everyone lined up honestly, quietly waiting for the inspection.

Jia Lian stood in the queue without looking around.I've been here last time, nothing new.However, he glanced casually and found that there were many gray-haired old people in the team.There were quite a few in the last government test, but this time it was obviously more than last time.

In order to be admitted as a scholar, these old people take the college exam year after year until they pass the exam or fail the exam.

While Jia Lian was thinking, he moved slowly along the crowd.After waiting for a long time, it was finally his turn.Hand over the paperwork and luggage to the soldiers for inspection.

After checking the paperwork and luggage, Jia Lian was taken to a room, and when he walked in, he was shocked. For a moment, he thought he had walked into a bathhouse, because the people in the room were completely naked.

The hospital examination is obviously stricter than the government examination. Before the government examination, at least one piece of underwear was left, but this time the hospital examination requires all clothes to be taken off, and the whole body is inspected naked.

In her previous life, Jia Lian often went to the bathhouse to take a bath. She stripped naked in front of many people without any embarrassment, unlike other people who blushed and felt ashamed.

Not only take your clothes off, but let your hair down in case someone cheats by hiding something in their hair.During the previous inspection by the government, the soldiers patted on the head a few times, and did not allow the hair to be untied.

After Jia Lian checked, there was no problem, she got dressed and left the "bathhouse".Jia Lian, with loose hair, has a troubled expression on his face: peaty, he doesn't know how to tie his hair.Before entering the examination room, you must be neatly groomed, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the examination room.

Ming Wanju came later than Jia Lian, and when he came out of the "bathhouse", he saw Jia Lian standing at the entrance of the examination room and refused to go in, so he stepped forward and jokingly said, "Brother Lian, are you waiting for me to go in together? "

Seeing Ming Wanju, Jia Lian seemed to see a savior, and quickly reached out to grab his arm, and asked, "Brother Wanju, can you tie your hair?"

When Ming Wanju heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You don't know how to tie your hair?" Only then did he realize that Jia Lian's hair was messy.

Jia Lian smiled embarrassedly: "No!" The ancients were not good, and men still had long hair.

"Come on, let me tie your hair for you."

"Brother Wanju, please."

Ming Wanju joked, "What a young master."

Jia Lian could only laugh dryly at this: "Hehe..."

Ming Wanju's helping Jia Lian tie her hair was noticed by others, and they were all wondering what the relationship between the two of them was and why they were so close.

"Okay, young master."

Jia Lian turned around and made a bow to Ming Wanju: "Thank you brother Wanju, you really helped me a lot."

"It's easy." Ming Wanju raised his hand and patted Jia Lian's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Let's go in."

This time the college exam is the same as the government exam, the top [-] will take the exam in one exam room.

In the previous county examination, Ming Wanju was No.3.In the last government test, Ming Wanju was No.2.Therefore, Ming Wanju sat next to Jia Lian in this courtyard test.

"Brother Lian, if you pass the test of the chief case and the third grade of junior high school this time, you must treat guests to dinner."

"If you pass the exam, you will definitely invite Brother Wan Ju to dinner, but I advise you not to get hopeful. You must know that no one in the capital has passed the exam for the junior high school three yuan for five years."

"Maybe you can."

Jia Lian looked at Ming Wanju and saw that he looked serious, he didn't look like he was joking, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I accept your auspicious words, but I think there is a high possibility that you will be the first in the examination. .”

Ming Wanju said very immodestly: "That's right, so you have to be careful, and be careful that I destroy your wish to pass the exam."

"I won't let you do that."

The two are full of competition, but there is no gunpowder.

Jia Lian's seat is the first one, the same as the previous one.Walk into the "cell" where you will stay for three days, arrange your luggage one by one, and then sit at the table and wait for the exam to start.

Soon, everyone came together.Jia Lian looked around, but didn't see Lian Gensheng, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried, did Lian Gensheng fail the exam?Impossible, probably not in the top twenty.

At that time, the college examination officially began, and the soldiers handed out the examination papers one by one.

Jia Lian found out that the chief examiner this time was not the chief examiner of the government examination, but he guessed that the official position of the chief examiner this time should be higher than that of the previous one.

After getting the test paper, first of all, check it from beginning to end to see if there is any blurred ink or missing words.

After checking, he found that the last test paper was blurred. Jia Lian raised his hand to signal, and changed the test paper without any problem.

After scanning the exam questions from beginning to end, and found that it was not difficult, Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a pen and started to work on the questions.

Jia Lian became the focus of the examiner's attention again. The examiner would walk up to him from time to time, stay for a while, and then leave with his beard.

By the way, the chief examiner this time is relatively old, he looks about 50 years old, his beard is white, and his face is very gentle, which makes people feel very kind.

Ming Wanju knew who the chief examiner was, and it was Mr. Wang from the Imperial Academy.He was the most honest and fair, and he devoted all his attention to learning. If he was invited to be the examiner of the courtyard examination, it could be seen that the emperor attached great importance to the fairness of the imperial examination.

At noon, when the exam was over, the soldiers collected the exam papers and gave everyone a bucket of water.

By noon, the temperature had obviously risen a lot. Jia Lian was sweating all over. He took a towel and wet it in the bucket, and then wiped his body. He immediately felt extremely refreshed.

After eating some cakes and jerky, Jia Lian lay on the bed and took a nap.Although it is autumn now, the temperature is very high. If you don't take a good nap, you will definitely not have much energy in the afternoon.

In Weishi, the exam started in the afternoon, and the exam questions were all from the Four Books and Five Classics, filling in the blanks and quizzes, which was not difficult for Jia Lian who had memorized the Four Books and Five Classics by heart.

You hour, the exam is over.Jia Lian hurriedly lit incense in the number room, otherwise he would be bitten to death by mosquitoes at night.Fortunately, he is not the blood type that mosquitoes like. After lighting the incense, he was not harassed by mosquitoes and slept until dawn.Ming Wanju next door was not so lucky. The mosquitoes seemed to like him very much, and he couldn't sleep well because of the noise all night.

On the third day, the last exam of the college exam was about arithmetic and law.

Jia Lian looked at the test questions and found that there were geometry questions in the arithmetic questions, and it was solid geometry in high school, which surprised him very much.He has done arithmetic problems in the college examinations in recent years, all of which are simple application problems of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and the rarest ones are rational numbers.I didn't expect that there would be a question about solid geometry in this college exam, which is really surprising.However, for him, a master of science and engineering, there is no difficulty, it is very simple.

After writing the arithmetic problem quickly, Jia Lian raised his eyes and looked at the opposite side, and found that the people on the opposite side looked stumped, and felt inexplicably happy.

Seeing that Jia Lian had solved the geometry problem and the answer was correct, the examiner was shocked and looked at Jia Lian with admiration.

After Jia Lian finished writing arithmetic questions, he began to write law questions.

The legal questions are very rigid, fill in the blanks and ask questions.The last question is the case list question, which allows you to judge whether the protagonist in the case is guilty or not.If guilty, what law was violated, and then how to judge.

To be honest, the laws of the Dalong Dynasty were full of loopholes, and they were extremely strict, cruel to be precise.It's a pity that he didn't study the law in his previous life, otherwise he would be able to help revise the law in the future.

After writing all the exam questions, I looked at the hourglass and found that there was still half an hour left.Jia Lian hesitated whether he should hand in the paper in advance, after thinking about it, he should wait until the time is up before handing in the paper.

At the hour of You, the exam was over, and the three-day college exam was finally over.

Jia Lian packed up her things and couldn't wait to go back and take a good bath.In the past three days, he just wiped his body and changed his clothes. He didn't take a bath. He always felt a bad smell on his body.

"Brother Lian, don't forget to promise that if you pass the exam, remember to treat me to dinner."

Seeing that Ming Wanju had many red spots on his face and neck, Jia Lian expressed sympathy: "Brother Wanju, you have had a hard time these two nights."

"Don't mention it, I'm about to be annoyed to death by mosquitoes." Ming Wanju raised his hand and scratched the red spores on his neck. He had hardly slept in the past two nights.As soon as I fell asleep, I was woken up by mosquito bites.

Jia Lian sympathized with Ming Wanju for three seconds: "Brother Wanju, go back and wash up and sleep."

"I want to go back and get a good night's sleep." Fortunately, he is in good health. It's nothing to him to not sleep for two nights, and he can still bear it.If it were someone with a delicate body, he would probably have been ill long ago.

"I'm going to go back and take a good shower."

"See you in two days."

"it is good."

When Jia Lian was going out, he met Lian Gensheng, and walked over to greet him: "I said we will meet in the courtyard exam."

Lian Gensheng was very happy when he saw Jia Lian, and he rarely showed a smile: "I didn't expect that I could take the Zhongfu Examination."

Jia Lian raised his hand and patted Lian Gensheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You will also take the middle school exam, and then you will take the township exam together."

"Thank you!" Lian Gensheng only hoped that he could pass the middle school examination and be a scholar, and that was enough.He didn't dare to think about the rural examination.

"It's getting late, I'll go first."

"I wish you the best of the best in the case again, and the junior third in the exam." Lian Gensheng said sincerely.

"If I pass the exam, Xiao Sanyuan, I'll treat you to dinner. Where is your home? I'll look for you then."

Lian Gensheng thought Jia Lian was joking, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"My home is in Chengshan Village."

"I remember. If I really pass the exam, I will treat you to dinner."

"it is good."

"I'm leaving first, and you go back early."

"Be careful on the road."

When Jia Lian walked out of the Wenqing Courtyard, he immediately saw Jia She who was waiting at the door, walked towards him, and called out, "Father!"

"I heard that someone was carried out, are you all right?"

"I'm fine, nothing happened."

"That's good."

"Hurry up and go home, I need to take a shower."

On the carriage back home, Jia Amnesty asked Jia Lian how he was doing in the exam.

"There is definitely no problem in passing the exam, but I don't know if I can pass the test." Jia Lian is very confident that he will pass the entrance examination, but he has no idea whether he can pass the test.

"It's enough to pass the exam. Do you still want to pass the top case?"

"Of course I want to pass the test of the first case, so that I can pass the test of junior and middle school."

"Ambition is not small, but I still want to take the junior high school entrance examination." Jia Amnesty's tone was very surprised.

"I'm ambitious."

"If you take the exam for junior middle school and three yuan, I will give you 1000 taels of silver."

"make a deal."

After returning home, Jia Lian took a bath first, and then went to Jia Amnesty's for dinner.

During the meal, Mrs. Xing couldn't help telling Jia Lian what happened in the mansion in the past three days.

At noon on the second day when Jia Lian went to the examination hall, Aunt Zhao was taught a lesson by Mrs. Wang, saying that she had no rules and punished her to kneel in the yard.The sun was so hot at noon that Aunt Zhao passed out after kneeling for a while.After Jia Zheng learned about it, he was very distressed, and angrily scolded Mrs. Wang, saying that Mrs. Wang was not virtuous.Mrs. Wang fainted angrily. After waking up, she went to find Jia Mu and cried. As a result, Jia Mu stood by Jia Zheng's side, not only did not comfort her, but also told her not to worry about it.

Mrs. Xing felt very relieved and happy when she saw the scene of Mrs. Wang being reprimanded by Jia Mu.

"How is Jia Zhu?" Before he went to the examination institute, Jia Zhu's illness didn't seem to be getting better.

"It's better than before, but it's still not good, and I'm still lying on the bed." Mrs. Xing thought, this is retribution.The Wang family has done too many bad things, and the retribution is on Jia Zhu.

Jia Lian thought, Jia Zhu is really delicate, no wonder she died of illness at a young age in the original book.However, Jia Zhu died of illness around the age of 20. He is 15 years old this year, so he should not die of illness.

"Go talk to Auntie Zhao again." Jia She looked at Mrs. Xing and smiled maliciously, "Let Auntie Zhao confront that stinky bitch of the Wang family.

Dry. "If you don't cause more trouble for Wang, she just wants to find fault with them.

Mrs. Xing nodded lightly: "Okay." Aunt Zhao is very easy to deceive, and she will be fooled after a little provocation.

When Jia Lian heard what Jia She said, he praised Jia She in his heart. This idea is really great, and only the cheap father of an old pervert can think of this idea.

After eating from Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian went back to her room and heard Zhao Mama and Feng Er talking about Mrs. Wang and Aunt Zhao.

"The second wife seems to be sick from anger. I heard that she has barely eaten in the past two days."

"Deserved!"

"After Aunt Zhao passed out, the second master was very distressed. He not only found a doctor for Aunt Zhao, but also asked the kitchen to cook tonic for Aunt Zhao. When the second wife found out, she broke a lot of things in anger."

"Now there's a good show to watch." Zhao Mama said gloatingly, the people in the first room hoped that the second room would have a lot of trouble.

Jia Lian knew that his second aunt would not make any troubles again during this period, so she felt relieved and could rest for a while.Although it is very immoral, I also hope that the second room's troubles will be as serious as possible, and it is best to make the troubles so disturbing.

It's a pity that Aunt Zhao is not Mrs. Wang's opponent. Within two days, the second room returned to peace, but Jia Zheng rarely went to Mrs. Wang's place, which made Mrs. Wang hate Aunt Zhao.

Because of the special care of Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang dared not do anything to Aunt Zhao.Once something happens to Aunt Zhao, everyone will think that she did it, so now she can only swallow her anger.

In the next few days, while Jia Lian was in class, he anxiously waited for the results of the college examination to be announced.

Many people in the capital are wondering whether Jia Lian can win the test and realize the small three yuan.

Jia Zhu's illness improved a lot after Jia Lian came back.In fact, he can go back to Qingshan Academy to take classes, but he wants to wait until the results of the college examination come out before returning to the academy.He didn't pass the exam himself, and he also hoped that Jia Lian didn't pass the exam. He wanted to stay at home and watch the joke of Jia Lian's failure.

August 26th is the day when the college examination list is released.

Before dawn, Xing'er and his fellow servants went to the place where the rankings were published and waited. They wanted to see them immediately, and then go back to announce the good news as quickly as possible.

Jia Lian was much calmer this time than the previous two times, at least he wasn't so nervous that he couldn't sleep.

The people in the first room waited anxiously for the announcement of the results of the college examination, and the people in the second room waited to see the joke about Jia Lian's failure.

Mrs. Wang took Jia Zhu to greet Jiamu, and then stayed with Jiamu, waiting for the results of the hospital examination to be announced.

At that time, the results of the college examination were announced on time.

As soon as the list was posted on the wall, Xing'er and the others immediately saw the first name written on the list, Jia Lian!

"Ahhhhhhhh!" Xing'er screamed excitedly, "The young master has won the case! The young master has won the case! The young master has passed the case!"

Others who read the list were also shocked when they saw that Jia Lian got the top spot in the exam.

Someone shouted in the crowd: "Xiao Sanyuan, Jia Lian passed the exam!" This sentence caused a huge commotion among the crowd.

Little triple!It turned out to be a small three yuan!

There hasn't been a small three yuan in the capital for five years!

Xing'er and the others yelled excitedly: "The young master has passed the exam! The young master has passed the exam! The young master has passed the exam!"

The people on the side congratulated Xing'er and the others one after another, Xiao Sanyuan, those who passed the Xiao Sanyuan exam in history will definitely be the number one in the future!Not the No. [-] pick, but also No. [-], or No. [-].

Xing'er and the others squeezed out from the crowd, mounted their horses and rushed back to Rongguo Mansion as fast as they could.

"Young master won the first case! Young master won the third grade!" As soon as they entered Ningrong Street, Xing'er and the others yelled, and the whole street heard it.

"Master, the young master won the top case, and the young master won the junior three yuan!" Xing'er jumped off the horse and ran into the Rongguo Mansion, shouting at the top of his voice.

The people in the second room were stunned when they heard Xing'er and the others' shouts, and they all had expressions of disbelief. Master Lian actually passed the test of the first case and Xiao Sanyuan!

"Master, the young master passed the test of the case, and the young master passed the exam of Xiao Sanyuan!"

When Jia Amnesty, who was standing at the gate of the other courtyard, heard this, he jumped up happily and danced with his hands and feet excitedly.

"Okay, okay! That's great!" Jia Amnesty burst into tears as he spoke, "Rewards, there are rewards for everything!"

"Thank you master, congratulations master, congratulations young master!"

When Mother Zhao and Feng'er heard the good news, they also cried happily.

As the person involved, Jia Lian was very excited when he learned that he had passed the junior three yuan exam, but he didn't cry with joy like Jia She and the others.

Everyone Lai heard the news and ran into the house to report to Mother Jia: "Old lady, Master Lian has passed the test of the case leader, and passed the test of Xiao Sanyuan!"

When Jia Mu heard the words, she stood up in shock, with a shocked expression on her face: "What did you say?"

"Master Lian won the test of the case, and the test of Xiao Sanyuan!"

"Pfft..." Jia Zhu who was on the side heard this, and blood suddenly spit out from his mouth.

"Brother Zhu!" Mrs. Wang cried out worriedly when she saw Jia Lian vomiting blood.

After Jia Zhu vomited a mouthful of blood, she passed out immediately.

"Brother Zhu! Brother Zhu! Brother Zhu!"

Jia Zhu vomited blood and fainted again, which frightened Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, and hurriedly sent for the imperial physician.

The news that Jia Lian passed the exam and the junior Sanyuan exam immediately spread throughout Ningrong and Rongfu, causing an uproar.

Soon, some officials came to Rongguo Mansion to announce the good news, beating gongs and drums to announce the good news: "Congratulations to Mr. Jia Lian of your mansion for being the first in the case and the third grade!"

"Thank you." Jia Amnesty gave a lot of money to the officials who came to announce the good news.

"Master, your young master has passed the examination of Xiao Sanyuan, and he will be the number one master in the future!"

"Bless you!"

Sending off the officials who came to announce the good news, Jia Amnesty asked Xing'er and the others to set off firecrackers at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.Neighbors all around came to congratulate.

On the other side, the imperial doctor came to check Jia Zhu's pulse, saying that it was because of his anger that he vomited blood and passed out, and there was nothing serious about it.

When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old lady, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to announce the good news." Everyone Lai whispered into Jia Mu's ear.

Mother Jia's mood is very complicated. The eldest grandson she values ​​the most fails the provincial examination, but the younger grandson she doesn't care about wins the exam.

"Order, the monthly salary of the servants in the mansion will triple this month!"

"Thank you old lady!"

"Mother..." Mrs. Wang yelled with some dissatisfaction, Brother Zhu fainted from anger, and the old lady actually wanted to reward the slave.

Knowing what Mrs. Wang was going to say, Jia Mu stared at her coldly: "The fact that Brother Zhu vomited blood and passed out must not be known to others, let alone spread."

"why?"
