Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

In the imperial study room, Emperor Longwen was reading Jia Lian's provincial examination paper, and the more he read it, the more satisfied he became.

"I didn't expect this kid to be good at the art of war." In the past three years, Emperor Longwu often went to Mr. Lin, so he met Jia Lian many times.I have been in contact with Jia Lian several times, and I treat Jia Lian pretty well.Knowing that he is good at poetry, couplets and arithmetic, he did not expect that he is also good at the art of war, which made him a little impressed.

"Your Majesty, General Song seeks an audience." Li Jinzhong walked in from the outside, saluted Emperor Longwu first, and then reported respectfully.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Soon, a tall, burly, dark-skinned man in his thirties walked in and knelt on one knee to salute: "My humble servant sees the emperor."

Emperor Longwu put down the examination paper in his hand, looked up at Song Yunfeng who was kneeling on the ground: "Ai Qing, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Yunfeng stood up and cupped his fists at Emperor Longwu, "Your Majesty, I have come here to ask for something."

Emperor Longwu probably guessed the purpose of Song Yunfeng looking for him, but he pretended to be curious and asked, "What does Aiqing want to ask me for?"

"I want to ask the emperor to give me the solution to Yuan Jia Lian in this provincial examination." Song Fengyun thought of Jia Lian's military strategy written in the rural examination, and his eyes suddenly became sparkling. , What a good strategy. I think he is a useful talent, so I want him to enter the barracks."

After hearing this, Emperor Longwu smiled softly: "Hehe, I guessed that you came for Jia Lian."

The purpose was seen through, Song Yunfeng smiled a little embarrassedly: "The emperor is wise."

"I was also reading Jia Lian's strategy of using troops just now. The strategy of using less to win more and setting fire to ships on the river is good."

"The emperor thinks so." Song Yunfeng's expression suddenly became agitated, "These two strategies are really wonderful." Even he would never have thought of linking boats together on the river and setting them on fire, and then the east wind would burn them out. enemy ships.

Emperor Longwu couldn't help laughing when he saw Song Yunfeng's appearance of picking up the treasure: "Aiqing, aren't you afraid that Jia Lian will only talk on paper?" can be flexibly used in military tactics.

"Weichen wants to bring him into the barracks for a period of time to see if he is real or just a mere armchair." Of course, Song Yunfeng also considered this point. Some candidates had written very good strategies for using soldiers in the rural examination before, but they didn't Thoughts are just on paper.Although the art of war was added to the rural examination, few people did well in the examination.Even if he passed the exam, it was only on paper, which made him very anxious.

Emperor Longwu propped his chin back, tapped the table with his right index finger, and said slowly, "I'm afraid this won't work."

"Why?" Song Yunfeng was a little anxious. It was not easy to meet a person with such a wonderful use of soldiers, so he didn't want to miss it.

Emperor Longwu was not angry at Song Yunfeng's rude attitude, with a faint smile on his face: "As far as I know, this kid is going to be the champion."

"Ah?" Song Yunfeng looked surprised, and then asked inexplicably, "Isn't he the son of Rong Guogong? He will inherit the title in the future, so what is the number one in the examination?"

"I don't know about this." Before Emperor Longwu asked Jia Lian why he wanted to take the imperial examination, what did the boy say.Yes, he said that he wanted to move out of the house, so he had to take the imperial examination.

"His ancestors were first-class generals. He should learn from his ancestors and become a general galloping on the battlefield, instead of being the number one scholar."

"You can go to him in person and ask him if he would like to go to the barracks with you." Emperor Longwu felt that Song Yunfeng's proposal was good, if Jia Lian was really talented in using soldiers, he couldn't miss it.

Song Yunfeng's eyes lit up when he heard what Emperor Longwu said, thinking it was a good idea.

"Your Majesty, if this minister's persuasion succeeds, you may allow me to take him to the barracks."

"If Aiqing can succeed in persuading her, I will naturally not stop her." Now that military talents are needed in all major military camps, if Jia Lian really has this kind of talent, he will naturally not object.

With Emperor Longwu's consent, Song Yunfeng couldn't stand it for a minute, with an eager expression on his face: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

Seeing Song Yunfeng's impatient expression, Emperor Longwu shook his head amusedly: "Go, go."

"Wei Chen retire."

Li Jinzhong sent Song Yunfeng to the door, and seeing Song Yunfeng leave briskly, he couldn't help laughing.Returning to the Imperial Study Room, he reported to Emperor Longwu: "Your Majesty, General Song seems very happy."

"I think he's going to be disappointed."

"Does the emperor think that Jia Lian will not agree to General Song?" Li Jinzhong thought it was unlikely. What is General Song's status, but a general with 20 military power in his hand, would be condescending to meet Jia Lian in person.Follow General Song into the Northwest Military Camp for training. If you perform well, you will be promoted within a few years.This is what many people wish for, how could Jia Lian refuse.

"That kid wanted to take the No. [-] Scholar Examination, so he moved out of the house after passing the exam."

"Then General Song will be disappointed."

"But I don't think he will give up easily." Song Yunfeng became entangled, and even he, the emperor, had a headache.

After Song Yunfei came out of the palace, he sent someone to Rongguo Mansion to find Jia Lian.

When Jia Lian heard that someone was looking for him, he thought it was Ming Wanju, but he didn't expect it to be someone he had never seen before.

"May I ask who you are?" The visitor was a kind-hearted middle-aged man, but it seemed a little complicated.

The visitor saluted Jia Lian, and said in a gentle and elegant manner, "Young Master Jia, I am the steward of the General's Mansion. By order of my General, I invite you to visit the General's Mansion."

"General?" Jia Lian's eyes widened in astonishment, pointed at himself, and said in disbelief, "Are you asking me to be a guest?"

"My general is General Song."

"General Song?!" Jia Lian exclaimed in shock, "General Song in charge of the Northwest Army Camp?"

"Yes."

"Is there anything General Song wants from me?" Why did such a great general want to find him a brat?

"My general appreciates the two strategies Mr. Jia wrote on the military art exam questions of the township examination, so I want to chat with you." The housekeeper didn't hide anything, and directly stated the purpose of coming to Jia Lian.

When Jia Lian heard this, he suddenly realized: "So it's because of this." When he was studying the art of war, he directly borrowed the strategy of using troops in "Three Kingdoms", and he didn't expect to attract the attention of the general.The two strategies he wrote are the famous Battle of Guandu and Battle of Chibi in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".When he saw the exam questions, the first reaction in his mind was to learn from these two battles.

"Mr. Jia, if you are free, follow me to see my general."

"Then trouble Mr. Housekeeper to lead the way." Jia Lian was very excited. After living two lifetimes, this was the first time he went to see the general.

"Young Master Jia, you are being polite."

Jia Lian followed the butler to the General's Mansion on horseback.

The General's Mansion is very close to the Imperial Palace. This can be said to be the area where the capital's power is concentrated. The people who live here are either noble or powerful.

Entering the General's Mansion, Jia Lian found that the decoration of the General's Mansion was very simple, completely different from the luxury he imagined.

As if seeing the doubt in Jia Lian's eyes, the butler smiled and said, "The general is in the northwest all year round, so this general's mansion has been empty. If it wasn't for the rural examination this time, the general would not have come back."

Jia Lian thought the same thing, a general guarding the northwest frontier, how could he return to the capital if he had nothing to do.

Soon, I saw General Song.

General Song was very bold and refused to let Jia Lian salute, he didn't care about these rules.

Although General Song said so, Jia Lian still bowed in a proper manner.

General Song carefully looked at Jia Lian from head to toe. This kid has red lips, white teeth, a little white face, and a thin body. He took him to the barracks, and I don't know if he can bear the hardship.

"You know why I came here for you, right?"

Jia Lian nodded lightly: "The student knows."

General Song didn't like the literati's way of beating around the bush, so he said straight to the point: "Tell me about the two strategies you wrote on the exam paper."

"Yes." Jia Lian told General Song that he borrowed the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

By the way, when he mentioned "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he remembered one thing.He once heard a friend say that before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the generals of the Eight Banners were asked to read and study "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" carefully. Even the Japanese had studied "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is very helpful for using soldiers. Should he copy it down?

Forget it, he has no time now.There will be an exam next year.

After hearing this, General Song looked at Jia Lian with admiration, and thought in his heart, maybe this kid really has military talent.

"I see that your writing is good. I want you to go to the Northwest Military Camp. What do you think?"

When Jia Lian heard this, his eyes lit up, and his expression was a little excited: "Really?"

As soon as General Song heard this, he felt that there was something to be said, and said very straightforwardly: "Of course it is true."

Jia Lian felt his heart beating violently, and almost blurted out his consent.He really wanted to go to the military camp, but the damn system wanted him to pass the first prize.

"General Song, the students really want to go to the Northwest Barracks, but they can't do it now."

General Song frowned dissatisfiedly: "Why not now?"

"Because students have to participate in the next general examination and palace examination."

"If you enter the military camp, if you make military achievements, you will still be able to honor your ancestors. There is no need to go to the number one examination."

Jia Lian could only weep silently in his heart: "General, the student is still two steps away, so I don't want to give up." If he doesn't take the No. [-] examination, he will be obliterated by the system.

"That's why you want to be the number one scholar?" General Song glared at Jia Lian angrily.

"Yes." Jia Lian said duplicity.

"Your ancestor was a first-class general. You followed Taizu to fight in the country. You should learn from your ancestors instead of taking the exam for the number one scholar."

"General, to be honest, students also want to be like their ancestors, but now students only want to pass the last two exams."

"You mean that you also want to enter the military camp, but you have to pass both the general examination and the imperial examination?"

"Yes."

General Song stroked his chin with a thoughtful look on his face: "You are asking this general to wait for you for a year."

When Jia Lian heard this, he waved his hands in fright: "No, no, the students dare not let the general wait for a year. When the students finish the general and imperial examinations, the general will not dislike him. The students want to go to the barracks."

General Song looked at Jia Lian with sharp eyes like knives. Jia Lian felt a murderous aura rushing towards his face, and his whole body tensed up involuntarily.

Seeing that Jia Lian was not trembling with fear, General Song was very satisfied.When most people saw the murderous look in his eyes, they would tremble with fright, or collapse on the ground.This kid was quite courageous, not only did he not tremble with fright, but he also stared directly at him with wide-open eyes.

"Okay, after you finish the imperial examination, come to the Northwest Military Camp. I hope you won't disappoint this general."

"Thank you, General."

Next, General Song took Jia Lian to talk about the art of war.

Jia Lian has already memorized "Sun Tzu's Art of War" fluently, and also recited "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" backwards, so he can chat with General Song about this aspect.

General Song chatted with Jia Lian for a while, and was amazed. He didn't expect this kid to be so familiar with the art of war.Even if it is only on paper now, when he enters the barracks in the future, he may be able to come in handy after a good training.

Jia Lian returned to the mansion before lunch, although General Song asked him to stay for lunch, but he was not so cheeky.

When Jia Amnesty saw Jia Lian coming back, he asked him who was looking for him.

Jia Lian didn't want to tell Jia She about General Song, so he found a reason to say that Ming Wanju was looking for him.

Jia She was very satisfied and pleased to see his son playing so well with the grandson of the Diange University scholar, as he deserved to be his son.

After lunch at Jia Amnesty's, Jia Lian returned to his room, Jia Lian was still immersed in the surprise of being invited by General Song to the Northwest Camp.

Next year, after he won the first prize in the examination and moved out of Rongguo Mansion, he would go to the military camp, which would be regarded as breaking contact with the Jia family.If he made great military achievements in the future, he might be able to be named a marquis and a nobleman, and he would be able to draw a line with the Jia family.Even if there is no way to sever ties with the Jia family in the future, the emperor may not exile him because of his military achievements.

Jia Lian thought it was a good idea after thinking about it. If he went to the military camp, he must find a way to make military achievements.

Zhao Nanny came in with a cup of tea, seeing Jia Lian's smirk, she couldn't help laughing: "What are you thinking, young master, you are smiling so happily?"

"It's nothing."

"Master, the young master's illness has gotten worse."

"Aggravated?" Jia Zhu fell ill after hearing that he had passed the Jieyuan exam.

"The imperial doctor said that the young master has a knot in his heart. If the knot is not solved, the young master's illness will not get better."

Jia Zhu's depression is that he passed the Jie Yuan exam, and I'm afraid it won't be solved for a while, unless his Jie Yuan is erased, he will feel better.

"Young master, you passed the exam to understand Yuan, but the young master failed the ranking. With the temperament of the young master, he must not accept it. How could he solve the knot in his heart?" Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion knew that Jia Zhu fell ill because of Jia Lian's passing the exam. poured.

"Forget it, let him go."

At this time, Jia Zhu was in the room.

Mrs. Wang held Jia Zhu's hand tightly, and sat on the edge of the bed, weeping silently: "Brother Zhu, don't scare mother, get well soon."

Jia Zhu opened her eyes and looked at Mrs. Wang: "Mother, didn't you say you cursed Jia Lian? Why did he pass the exam to know Yuan?" this matter? !

When it came to this matter, Mrs. Wang was also very puzzled: "I did curse Jia Lian as Ma Daopo said." She obviously cursed Jia Lian, why did Jia Lian still pass the Xieyuan exam?

"Ma Daopo won't lie to you, will she?" If Jia Lian didn't pass the exam, he might feel better.But now it is Jia Lian who passed the exam to understand Yuan, but he failed the exam.Now everyone in the Jia family says he is not as good as Jia Lian.

"I'll call Ma Daopo right away." Jia Zhu was ill, and Mrs. Wang was in fear every day, so she couldn't think of Ma Daopo.

Mrs. Wang called Zhou Rui's family over and asked her to find Ma Daopo.

An hour later, Ma Daopo appeared in Rongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Wang looked at Ma Daopo sullenly, and asked, "Before you told me that as long as you stick Jia Lian's birth date on the scarecrow and prick the scarecrow with a needle every day, you can curse Jia Lian until he fails the exam. But why did Jia Lian pass the exam?" Do you know Yuan?" If Jia Lian hadn't passed Jie Yuan's exam, Brother Zhu wouldn't have fallen ill.

"This technique is very effective, and I have never made a mistake." Ma Daopo frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on her face, "It is impossible to make mistakes."

"Now it's a mistake. Jia Lian not only passed the exam, but also passed the exam."

"If the birthday horoscope is useless, then use his hair." Ma Daopo whispered in Mrs. Wang's ear, "Take some of his hair and step on it, and you can curse him."

"What's the use of talking about it now? Jia Lian passed the exam to understand Yuan." Mrs. Wang said with a cold face.

"Isn't there going to be a test in the future? This method will definitely make him fail in the test." Ma Daopo's tone was very determined.

Mrs. Wang was moved when she heard this: "Okay, I will trust you again. If you still fail to use hair this time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Ma Daopo was frightened by Mrs. Wang's words, and quickly said flatteringly, "After you get Jia Lian's hair, send someone to notify me. I will personally come to cast the spell, and I guarantee that Jia Lian will fail the examination."

"it is good."

Ma Daopo heard that Jia Zhu was ill, and gave him a free spell, praying that he would recover soon.

Mrs. Wang saw that she personally cast spells to pray for Jia Zhu, and her dissatisfaction was slightly reduced.

After Ma Daopo left, Mrs. Wang went to see Jia Zhu and told Jia Zhu about the method Ma Daopo said to curse with her hair.

Jia Zhu felt much better after listening, but she was still a little skeptical: "I hope the method she said this time will be useful."

"When we get Jia Lian's hair, Ma Daopo will come over and cast a spell in person, and then put Jia Lian's hair in the shoe and step on it, and she will surely curse Jia Lian."

"That's good."

"Brother Zhu, you need to get well soon, otherwise how will you see his jokes then?"

"Mother is right, I have to get better soon."

Li Wan stood at the door, holding the freshly boiled medicine in his hand, and was about to open the door to go in, but he didn't want to hear Madam Wang and the others saying that they would curse Jia Lian with their hair, so scared that she almost threw the boiled medicine on the ground.

"How could this be?" Li Wan was shocked and couldn't believe what he heard.My husband is obviously a gentle person, and my mother-in-law is also a kind person, why would I do such a dirty thing.

After calming down, Li Wan pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Husband, the medicine is ready, I brought it in."

"come in."

Li Wan came in with the medicine in his hand, not daring to look at Mrs. Wang, she didn't expect that the always gentle mother-in-law would have such vicious thoughts, and she would use a curse method to get Uncle Lian to fail the ranking.

Mrs. Wang held out the medicine and wanted to feed Jia Zhu herself.

Li Wan stretched out his hand to support Jia Zhu, and let Jia Zhu lean on the head of the bed.

While feeding the medicine, Mrs. Wang said to Jia Zhu, "Brother Zhu, you need to get well soon."

"Mother, I'm sorry to make you and grandma worry." Jia Zhu also knew that he shouldn't be depressed, but he couldn't.When he thought of Jia Lian's passing the exam and knowing Yuan, but he failed the exam and became a joke, he was filled with jealousy and hatred.I know it's not good for my condition, but I just can't control it.

"Get well soon, and the old lady and I will feel at ease."

"kindness."

Jia Zhu heard that Ma Daopo was going to use Jia Lian's hair to curse, and Jia Lian would definitely fail the exam. Her mood improved, her appetite improved a lot, and her condition began to improve.

Li Wan was a little conflicted. On the one hand, her kindness could not accept such a method of cursing others to fail the ranking, but on the other hand, she hoped that Jia Zhu's illness would recover.

With conscience on one side and husband on the other, Li Wan was caught in a dilemma for a while, not knowing how to choose.

Mrs. Wang asked Zhou Rui's family to bribe Jia Lian's maid, and try to get a few hairs from Jia Lian.

It was true that Zhou Rui's family bought a maid, this maid was a second-class maid who was usually responsible for the sanitation of Jia Lian's yard, and could find a way to sneak into Jia Lian's room and get Jia Lian's hair.

Jia Lian didn't know that he was being tricked by Mrs. Wang again, and he was worrying about his marriage at this time.

Ever since he passed Jie Yuan in the rural examination, countless matchmakers have come to Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage to him.

Three years ago, when he was the head of the middle school examination, many matchmakers offered to marry him. At that time, both Jia Amnesty and Jia's mother felt that he was too young, so they did not agree.But this time is different, he is now 14 years old, and he will be an adult in a year.In ancient times, after the 15th birthday, it represented an adult.

He has reached the age of marriage, so this time Jia Mu and Jia She are helping him find a partner.

According to the matchmaker this time, the targets of the marriage are several grades higher than those three years ago, and they are all some powerful families in the capital.

Jia's mother and Jia She felt that every family was good, but they were too dazzled to choose which one to choose.So, he gave the portrait to Jia Lian and asked him to choose one by himself.

Jia Lian felt that he was still young and had not yet reached the age of marriage.Besides, after passing the imperial examination next year, he will go to the military camp. If he gets married now, won't he just leave his wife at home alone.

He decided to go to the military camp for a few years, until he has military merits, and then get married.

"Master, this time the matchmaker's marriage partners are very good, you have to choose carefully."

Jia Lian smiled wryly: "I'm not in the mood to think about this right now. I'm going to take the National Examination and Palace Examination next year. I don't have the time and energy to think about it."

"It's not too late to talk about marriage when the young master wins the first prize in the exam next year." Madam Zhao felt that when Jia Lian got the first prize in the exam, the emperor might give him a marriage.

Jia Lian decided to ask Jia Amnesty to make it clear that now is not the time to get engaged.

Mrs. Wang heard that Jia's mother was helping Jia Lian choose a marriage, and she couldn't help thinking of Wang Xifeng.She still wants to match Sister Feng and Jia Lian.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Wang still decided to mention this matter to Jia Mu.

"Mother, what do you think of Sister Feng?"

Jia's mother knew that Mrs. Wang wanted to match Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, but she didn't agree in her heart.

"Sister Feng is good, but she doesn't suit Brother Lian."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she said in her heart that sure enough, the old lady did not approve of Sister Feng and Jia Lian, but if it was for Brother Zhu, the old lady would definitely agree.

"Mother, if Brother Lian marries Sister Feng, he will be very close to us, and then he and Brother Zhu will be able to help each other." Mrs. Wang didn't say it clearly, but the implication in her words was obvious.

After hearing this, Jia Mu frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Mrs. Wang saw that Jia's mother was a little loose, and said persistently: "Brother Lian passed the exam this time to understand Yuan, but Brother Zhu failed. If Brother Lian can help Brother Zhu in the future..." Mrs. Wang has no more Go on, but the meaning is obvious.

When Jia's mother heard Mrs. Wang's last words, her heart was completely shaken, and she said thoughtfully, "You are right, Sister Feng is very suitable for Brother Lian." After all, the old lady's heart still leaned towards Jia. beads.

"When Sister Feng gets married, I will hand over the affairs of the house to her, so uncle and the others won't say anything more."

Mother Jia didn't expect Mrs. Wang to say such a thing, and looked at her in surprise: "You want Sister Feng to manage the affairs of the house?"

"My daughter-in-law thinks it's only natural for Sister Feng to manage the affairs of the house." Mrs. Wang felt that Wang Xifeng was her niece, so she would naturally look towards her.Let Wang Xifeng manage the Rongguo Mansion, not only can she gain a reputation as a virtuous man, but she can also reap the benefits of being a fisherman, killing two birds with one stone, so why not do it.

When Jia's mother heard this, she was a little impressed by Mrs. Wang.

"It's nice of you to think so."

"Mother, will you agree to this marriage?"

"I promise."

Mrs. Wang stood up and thanked Jia's mother, "Thank you, mother, for helping Sister Feng's infatuation."

Jia's mother said to everyone Lai: "Bring the master and wife, and brother Lian."

"Yes."

"Mother, I'll take my leave first." Mrs. Wang felt that Jia She and Mrs. Xing didn't know what harsh words they had said to her when she stayed here.

"kindness."

After a while, Jia She and his family of three came over.

Before Jia's mother spoke about Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian spoke first: "Grandmother, next year I will take the imperial examination and palace examination, and I don't have the energy and energy to think about marriage."

"It's not for you to get married right away, but for you to get married."

"Grandma, I don't want to get engaged for now."

"why?"

"If I win the first prize next year, maybe the emperor will give me a marriage." Jia Lian could only find this excuse.

When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't help being startled, and then thought that there seemed to be such a thing.If the emperor bestows a marriage, it must be a good marriage, and it is an honorable matter for the Rongguo Mansion, but for Brother Zhu...

If Brother Lian married a daughter-in-law with a good family background, she would be better than Brother Zhu in everything. What would Brother Zhu do then?

"Mother, if Brother Lian is engaged now, it will be bad if the emperor grants a marriage. So, don't betroth Lian for the time being." The emperor might marry the daughter of a minister to Brother Lian.

"If the emperor doesn't grant a marriage by then, it won't be too late for my grandmother and father to help me get engaged."

Mother Jia thought about it in her heart, Sister Feng is only 12 years old this year, and it is not too late to postpone the engagement until next year.

"Okay, it's up to you." Brother Lian may not be able to win the first prize next year, and there will be no such thing as a marriage.At that time, brother Lian had no reason to refuse this marriage.

"Thank you grandma."

"After a while, you have to go back to the academy to study, and pay attention to your health." Jia Mu pulled Jia Lian and told her that this grandson is now the hope of their Rongguo Mansion, and she can no longer ignore him.

"The grandson will remember what the grandmother said."

Coming out of Jia's mother's yard, Jia Lian couldn't help feeling suspicious when he thought of seeing Mrs. Wang's back when they came back again.

Mrs. Xing saw Jia Lian frowning slightly, with a pensive look on her face, and asked with concern: "What's wrong, Brother Lian?"

"I think grandma's promise was too straightforward just now."

"The old lady also wants you to be married by the emperor. This is a great thing, of course she agrees."

Jia Lian always felt that this matter went too smoothly. Before meeting the old lady, he prepared a whole lot of rebuttals, but he didn't expect the old lady to agree without saying a word.

With that old lady's eccentric attitude, she would never allow his future wife's family background to be too good, surpassing Jia Zhu's too much.However, she did not object this time.When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. He always feels that there is some kind of conspiracy.It is also possible that the old lady thinks that he failed the exam.

"Didn't we see Second Aunt when we came here just now?"

"I saw her, what's the matter?"

"I think the second aunt said something to the old lady, such as asking me to be engaged to her niece Wang Xifeng."

"What?!" Jia Amnesty looked angry, "How dare Mrs. Wang make such an idea!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Xing felt that it was very possible, and her face suddenly became worried: "Brother Lian's words are not unreasonable."

With Jia Amnesty's character, Jia Lian is definitely not allowed to marry Wang Xifeng, but Jia Lian still married Wang Xifeng in the original book, and there must be Jia's mother's hands and feet.If Jia's mother disagreed, Jia Lian would not be able to marry Wang Xifeng.

Therefore, he had to make him not suspect that there was a conspiracy in it.

Three years ago, the old lady of Jia's mother seemed to be against him being with Wang Xifeng, probably because of Wang Ziteng's promotion, and she didn't want people from the Wang family to enter Rongguo Mansion again.However, it is different now.He passed Xie Yuan in the exam, but Jia Zhu failed.For Jia Zhu's sake, the old lady would definitely agree to this marriage.

"Father, if I don't have the emperor's marriage next year, and the old lady wants to mention Wang Xifeng, you must object."

Jia Amnesty gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I will never let Wang's plot succeed. No matter what method I use, I will oppose this marriage."

"Then please, Dad."

Jia Lian was worrying about his own marriage, and someone in the capital was also worrying about his marriage.

Hearing that many matchmakers went to Rongguo Mansion to match Jia Lian during this period, she was very anxious and worried, fearing that Jia Lian's family would agree to the marriage that the matchmaker said, and thus make a marriage.Four years ago at the back mountain of Fuling Temple, she met that handsome young man, and she fell in love with him immediately.In the past four years, she has been paying attention to him quietly, and she is very happy and proud to see him getting better and better.She had liked him silently for four years, and she couldn't just watch him get engaged to someone else.

After thinking about it again, she decided to ask her mother for help.

"Qiu'er, what's the matter, what do you want to say to mother?" Seeing her daughter looking at her, the beautiful woman opened her mouth to say something, but she never spoke. This made her very curious, what could make her daughter Unspeakable.

The girl blushed slightly, and wanted to tell her mother what was in her heart, but felt that it was too embarrassing for a daughter to say such things.

The beautiful woman raised her hand and touched her daughter's head, her tone was very gentle: "I have something to tell my mother."

A flash of hesitation and struggle flashed in the girl's eyes, she bit her lip, and her eyes suddenly became firm: "Mother, do you know Jia Lian who passed the exam to Jieyuan?"

The beautiful woman was startled when she heard her daughter's question, and then smiled and said, "I know, he is the first person in the history of our Dalong Dynasty to pass the four-yuan exam." After speaking, she felt a little strange, why did my daughter Jia Lian was suddenly mentioned.When she saw her daughter's slightly red face, she immediately understood.

"Mother, I met him in Fuling Temple four years ago."

A flash of surprise flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes: "Have you met him before?"

The young girl told the beautiful woman what happened in Fuling Temple four years ago, and she blushed so much that she was about to bleed.

After listening to the beautiful woman, she knew what her daughter was thinking, and joked with a smile: "Do you like this Jia Lian?"

"En..." The girl didn't dare to look at the beautiful woman, and hummed like a mosquito with her head down.

The beautiful woman didn't expect her daughter's heart to secretly promise Jia Lian for four years, let alone her daughter's sudden decision not to eat cakes four years ago because of Jia Lian.My daughter used to be chubby and cute, but she came back from Fuling Temple and said she wanted to lose weight, so it was because of Jia Lian.

"Did you hear that during this period of time, many matchmakers proposed marriage to Jia Lian, and you were anxious, so you told me your feelings for Jia Lian?"

The girl twisted the handkerchief in her hand and nodded slightly.

Seeing her daughter's appearance, the beautiful woman knew that her daughter had a deep affection for the young man named Jia Lian, and she sighed softly in her heart.

"Wu'er, are you telling Mother that you want Mother to send a matchmaker to talk about marriage?"

That's what the girl thought, she blushed and nodded slightly.

"But, Wu'er, have you ever thought about whether that young man named Jia Lian likes you?"

When the girl heard this, she suddenly raised her head with a look of astonishment.She really didn't think about this question.

"If Jia Lian doesn't like you, what will you do?" The beautiful woman hoped that her daughter's marriage would be a happy one.Now my daughter has liked Jia Lian for four full years, but that doesn't mean Jia Lian likes her daughter.

Hearing this, the girl immediately lowered her head in frustration, and bit her lips tightly.

What if Jia Lian doesn't like her?To be honest, she has no confidence in herself, she always feels that she is not as good-looking as Jia Lian.

Seeing her daughter looking like she was about to cry, the beautiful woman felt distressed. She hugged her daughter into her arms and comforted her gently, "Leave this matter to your mother." The daughter has been in love with her for four years. Not in vain.

"Mother, thank you."

"Mother first help you find out if Jia Lian has made a marriage agreement. If it is, you can give up."

The girl tightly grasped the clothes on the beautiful woman's chest, and said reluctantly, "En."

The beautiful woman raised her hand and touched her daughter's head, and said softly, "Maybe you are not engaged yet."

In her heart, the girl prayed to all the gods in the sky, as well as all the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas that Jia Lian did not make a marriage.

The beautiful woman was very quick and told the girl's father about the matter.When the girl's father heard about it, he was very shocked. He didn't expect that his daughter would secretly like Jia Lian for four years, so he immediately sent someone to inquire.

"Jia Lian is not engaged, but his family background is not worthy of our five sons."

The beautiful woman said with a smile: "The family background is not important, the important thing is whether he is good or not." Like their family background, there is no other family in the entire capital that can match it except for the royal family.

"This kid is very good." The girl's father seemed to know Jia Lian a little bit. "A few days ago, General Song went to find this kid and wanted to take him to the Northwest Army Camp."

"Is there such a thing?" The beautiful woman was very surprised.

"This kid did very well in the art of war test in the country test. I also read his test paper. The two strategies he wrote are really wonderful."

"It would be good if he went to the Northwest Military Camp and made military achievements in the future."

"This kid will go to the Northwest Military Camp after passing the palace examination next year." The girl's father even knew about it. "This kid wants to win the first prize."

"So ambitious."

"The emperor is also looking forward to his next general examination and palace examination. I really want to know if he can get No.1 in the general examination and palace examination. If he wins Huiyuan in the general examination and the number one in the palace examination, it will be six yuan gone."

"Is it possible?" The beautiful woman thought it was impossible.

"Who knows." The girl's father said, "If he gets six yuan in the exam, he will be eligible to be my son-in-law."

The beautiful woman glared at her husband reproachfully: "If Jia Lian gets six yuan in the exam, maybe he will be given a marriage by the emperor, and he may not be able to get it."
