Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

When they came to the new mansion, the three of Jia Lian's family took a rough look around and found that the courtyard of the new mansion was very elegant and low-key, without giving people a sense of luxury.As expected, most of the decorations in the house were gifted by the emperor. Jia Lian, an illiterate person, does not know how to appreciate antiques, but anyone with eyes can tell that the things in the house are all good things, exquisite and beautiful but not ostentatious.

From the layout of the courtyard and the house, it can be seen that he really put his heart into it. While Jia Lian was super moved, he was also a little uneasy.

Why are you upset?

Because the Supreme Emperor was so kind to him, it made him feel scared.

Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing walked around, fell in love with Jia Lian's new residence, and couldn't bear to go back.

Although Liuyuan Mansion is not as big as Rongguo Mansion, it is more refined and majestic than Rongguo Mansion.How should I put it, if you use a simple description, Rongguo Mansion is like an upstart, while Liuyuan Mansion is like a noble family.

Living in Liuyuan Mansion is not only comfortable, but also very face-saving. The most important thing is that they can be the real masters of the mansion without being angry or looking at other people's faces.

The housekeeper arranged by the emperor for Jia Lian was Gao Qi, who was about the same age as Li Jinzhong, about 40 years old, with a thick face and a little fat, looking very honest.However, how can a eunuch who can serve in front of the emperor be an honest person.

Gao Qi has a sweet mouth, a careful and considerate heart, and is also diligent.He came to Liuyuan Mansion a few days earlier than Jia Lian, and has been tidying up in the mansion these days.

As soon as Jia Lian and the others arrived, Gao Qi called all the servants in the mansion to meet Jia Lian and the others, and introduced the names and specific positions of the servants in the mansion to Jia Lian and the others.

Jia Lian was very satisfied with Gao Qi's performance, the butler Grandpa Lin gave him was really reliable.

Because Jia Lian was going to the palace to attend the Qionglin Banquet, he stayed in Liuyuan Mansion for a while and then left, leaving the rest to Jia She and the others.

The Qionglin Banquet was held by the Ministry of Rites, and all [-] Xinke Scholars attended.The emperor will also show up at that time, so all civil and military officials will also participate.

Jia Lian rushed to the place where the Ministry of Rites held the Qionglin Banquet, neither too early nor too late.

"Brother Lian." Ming Wanju beckoned to Jia Lian.

Seeing Ming Wanju, Jia Lian showed a smile on his face, and walked towards Ming Wanju's direction.

"Brother Wanju, when did you come?"

"I came a moment earlier than you."

Seeing that Su Mingyuan was also there, Jia Lian nodded politely to him: "Brother Su came quite early."

"I also just arrived, one step ahead of you."

Because the three are the top three of Yijia, their seats are at the front.

After a while, many people came one after another, talking and laughing.In the morning when the Golden Palace Chuanlu released the rankings, they were all still nervous, but now they all had relaxed and expectant smiles on their faces.

Soon, all the Xinke Scholars arrived.Then, many civil and military officials came one after another.Not every minister came, and some did not come when they were too old, such as Grand Master Yan and the cabinet scholar.

The Xinke Jinshi and the civil and military officials are separated, because today's protagonists are the Xinke Jinshi, so the Xinke Jinshi sits on the left, while the civil and military officials sit on the right.

Jia Lian looked at the whole audience, there were about a hundred tables set up for this Qionglin Banquet, the scale was very large and it was very lively.

At the end of the unitary hour, Emperor Longwu appeared, and the Qionglin Banquet began on time.

Seeing Emperor Longwu again, the Xinke Scholars were very excited.

Emperor Longwu first said something, that is, some words of praise and encouragement to the new scholars. All the new scholars looked excited, and they all looked like they wanted to work hard for the emperor and the common people.

After speaking, Emperor Longwu announced the official start of the Qionglin Banquet.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites presided over the Qionglin banquet. He first toasted the emperor with the number one scholar, second place, and Tanhua, and then brought the three of them to toast with the civil and military officials present.

As the top three in the first class, Jia Lian, Ming Wanju, and Su Mingyuan also received a lot of attention, and other Jinshi also toasted them a lot.

Jia Lian's alcohol tolerance is not good, so he took anti-alcohol medicine before attending the Qionglin Banquet, otherwise he would be drunk by now.I don't know who brought it up, to make the Xinke Scholars compose poems to add to the fun.

Hearing this proposal, Jia Lian rolled his eyes in his heart, he knew that such trouble would come.

"I heard that Zhuangyuan Lang is very talented and can write good poems and words. Today is a happy day. Zhuangyuan Lang wrote a few poems to cheer up." The students in Jiangnan who proposed were still a little unconvinced that Jia Lian won the number one prize. of.

The civil and military officials also heard that Jia Lian was good at composing poems and lyrics, and when they heard this proposal, they immediately agreed with it.

The kindness is hard to turn down, Jia Lian couldn't refuse even if he wanted to, and stood up to show his shame.Because the moonlight is good tonight, he wrote a poem about the moonlight.Of course I did it myself, and I didn't plagiarize the Ming and Qing poems in the system.In the past few years, he has already learned to compose poems and lyrics, and he does not need to copy Ming and Qing poems in the system.

After listening to Jia Lian's poem, everyone in the room sighed in their hearts, that he deserves to be the number one scholar, he is really full of talent.

After Jia Lian finished, it was Ming Wanju's turn.Ming Wanju was influenced by his grandfather since he was a child, and he can also compose good poems and lyrics.However, Su Mingyuan is not good at writing poems and lyrics.The Jiangnan student who proposed to write poems and lyrics regretted it. He forgot that Su Ming was far from good at this.

The top three of the first class all wrote poems, and the other Jinshi could not lag behind. They all stood up and wrote poems and lyrics to show their talents.

After finishing the poem, Emperor Longwu looked at Jia Lian and said with a smile, "Jia Lian, I heard that you are very good at painting, especially Western paintings. Tonight, I will make a Western painting to open my eyes."

Emperor Longwu's words immediately caused quite a commotion in the audience.

What?Western painting?

This Jia Lian actually knows Western painting!

After Emperor Longwu finished speaking, the little eunuch brought paints, paper, drawing boards, and brushes for painting.

"I'm showing my ugliness." The emperor is so awesome, he is still worried about how to publicize his ability to draw.

Jia Lian went to draw while the others continued to eat and drink.

Standing in front of the drawing board, Jia Lian didn't know what to draw for a while. Suddenly, the picture of Yujie praising officials flashed in his mind. With an idea in his mind, he picked up his brush and began to draw.

After more than half an hour, Jia Lian handed over the painting to the little eunuch.

The little eunuch gave Jia Lian's painting to Li Jinzhong.Li Jinzhong presented it to Emperor Longwu again.

What Jia Lian painted was the bustling scene of Xinke Scholars visiting the streets of the capital this morning. The colors are bright and the characters are vivid and clear. You can feel the bustling scene at that time from the picture.

"Not bad, really good!" Emperor Longwu asked Li Jinzhong to take down the painting and pass it to others.

Others were shocked when they saw Jia Lian's Western paintings.Many people here have seen Western paintings, but they all feel that they are not elegant and cannot be compared with their paintings.However, Jia Lian's western paintings are very visually impactful, not as ugly as they think, on the contrary, they have a certain charm.

Emperor Longwu took the painting and told Jia Lian to draw more Western paintings in the future.

Seeing that Emperor Longwu liked Western paintings so much, everyone present wondered if they should also learn Western paintings.

Emperor Longwu sat for a while and then left. He also knew that if he continued to stay here, everyone would be restrained and unable to let go of the celebration.Seeing that Emperor Longwu had left, the First Prince and Fourth Prince also left in a sensible manner.

When the fourth prince was about to leave, he took a deep look at Jia Lian and left Qionglin Banquet with reluctance.

When Emperor Longwu was sent away, the atmosphere suddenly changed and became a lot more relaxed, and the Xinke Scholars became more courageous.

Ming Wanju stood with Jia Lian the whole time, and kept introducing him to the civil and military officials present.With Ming Wanju's popular science, Jia Lian basically knew all civil and military officials.

After a while, many of the Xinke Jinshi were drunk, and many civil and military officials were also drunk.Fortunately, the people in the Ministry of Rituals had been prepared for fear that someone would get drunk at the banquet and do something bad. When they saw someone drunk, there would be servants to help them away or carry them to the sinkhole that had been prepared to sober up.

This Qionglin Banquet lasted until the end of the Xu Dynasty, and it was impossible to stay in the palace for such a long time in normal times, because tonight was special, so it was possible to get it so late.

After the Qionglin banquet was over, everyone went back to their respective homes.

In the previous dynasties, after the Qionglin Banquet, there were civil and military officials who held a banquet to invite the new scholars to win them into their camp, but this was not allowed in the Dalong Dynasty.After the Qionglin Banquet is over, no minister can hold a private banquet to invite the new scholars.

Although he drank the anti-alcoholic medicine, Jia Lian was still a little drunk after being fed a lot of alcohol in one night. After returning to Liuyuan Mansion, he drank a glass of anti-alcoholic medicine and felt much better.He planned to take a day off tomorrow, so he told Gao Qi that he would not see anyone tomorrow.

Most of the people in Dafang moved to Liuyuan Mansion, and they don't know what happened to Rongguo Mansion after they left.It wasn't until the next day that some of the remaining people from the big house came to Liuyuan Mansion and told Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing what happened in Rongguo Mansion last night, and they didn't know what happened in Rongguo Mansion last night.

Jia Lian didn't wake up until noon the next day. To be precise, he woke up from hunger.After lunch with Jia Amnesty and the others, I was shocked to hear what happened in Rongguo Mansion from them.

"Jia Zhu is crazy?" Jia Lian looked surprised, why is Jia Zhu so crazy?

"Yes."

"Why did you suddenly go crazy? When did you go crazy?"

"Actually, I went crazy yesterday morning." Madam Zhao said, "Yesterday morning, the news that you won the first prize, Master, reached Rongguo Mansion, and then Eldest Master heard about it."

Jia Lian frowned, and said puzzledly: "Based on previous experience, when Jia Zhu heard the news that I won the first prize, he should be so angry that he vomited blood and passed out. How could he be crazy?"

"I heard from the people in the old lady's yard that the Eldest Young Master heard that you won the No. Then the young master laughed loudly, and then said that he had won the first prize, ran out of the old lady's house, laughed and said that he had won the first prize, tore his clothes, and said he was going to see Mrs. emperor."

After hearing this, Jia Lian's mood became a little complicated. This time, Jia Zhu didn't faint from vomiting blood when he won the first place in the exam, but was stimulated by him and lost his mind and became a lunatic.

How angry is this to be mad?

"The eldest young master ran out when he was going to the palace. As he ran, he said that he had won the first prize. When he ran to the gate, the second master asked the servants to catch the young master." Zhao Mama is indeed a gossip expert. know everything. "Because the young master has been talking nonsense, many people have heard it, so the second master asked the young man to knock the young master unconscious and carry him back to the room. Later, the doctor Zhang came and said that the young master lost his mind and talked nonsense just because he was stimulated for a while. I prescribed a few sedatives for the young master. I thought the young master would return to normal after waking up, but the young master was still talking nonsense."

"Or did you say that you won the first prize?"

Zhao Nanny nodded lightly: "It's more than that. Later, I not only said that I won the No. [-] Scholar in the exam, but also said that I would inherit the title of Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Lian: "..." Jia Zhu went crazy, he didn't know whether to be happy or to sympathize with Jia Zhu.

"The young master thought it was the old lady who drove the young master and the elder out of the Rongguo mansion, so he thought the Rongguo mansion belonged to him."

Jia Lian thought to himself, luckily he left Rongguo Mansion last night, otherwise he didn't know what would have happened last night.With his second aunt's temperament, maybe he caused Jia Zhu to go crazy, and then the old lady defended Jia Zhu, and she didn't know how to blame him.

"I heard that the young master vomited blood last night. After vomiting blood, he went crazy. He said that he had won the first prize, that he had inherited the title of Rongguo Mansion, that he had won the young master, and that you are an idiot, how could you possibly compare to him?" He said that the old lady should have kicked you and the old man out of Rongguo Mansion a long time ago."

When Jia Lian heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up into a sneer: "He is crazy, but he has become a lot more honest, and he has spoken out all the true thoughts in his heart."

"The eldest young master went crazy last night, scaring the old lady and the second wife so much that he invited Imperial Doctor Zhang to Rongguo Mansion overnight." In the hearts of Madam Zhao and the others, Rongguo Mansion is no longer their mansion, and Liuyuan Mansion is now their real mansion. mansion.

"What did Doctor Zhang say?"

"Doctor Zhang said that the young master was greatly stimulated and then lost his mind." Mammy Zhao had a gloating smile on her face, "Physician Zhang gave the young master an injection and prescribed a few more medicines."

"All right?"

Zhao Nanny shook her head: "At first, I thought that the young master would return to normal after Doctor Zhang gave the injection, but I didn't expect that the young master was still talking nonsense this morning."

Jia Lian picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea gracefully: "It seems that he is really crazy."

"The eldest young master woke up this morning and was clamoring to go to the palace to meet the emperor, but the second wife and the second master stopped him from going, and he even scolded the second wife and the second master." Mother Zhao thought that the retribution had finally come, " Later, the Eldest Young Master ran out of the mansion, stood on Ningrong Street and yelled that he had won the number one examination, and also yelled that he had inherited the title of Rongguo Mansion, which attracted many people to watch the excitement."

Jia Lian regretted it a little. He should not have moved here in a hurry last night, but should have stayed in Rongguo Mansion, otherwise he would have seen the excitement.What a pity to miss such a wonderful scene.

"Eldest young master scolded young master again, saying that you are nothing, even if you get to know Yuan and Huiyuan in the exam, so what, you are not as good as him, Rongguo Mansion is still not his in the end."

Jia Lian sighed with regret: "Oh... I shouldn't have left in a hurry last night."

"Now everyone in Ningrong Street knows that the Eldest Young Master is crazy." Zhao Nanny said with a smile, "I also know that the Eldest Young Master is mad because he is jealous of you being the No. [-] student in the exam."

When Jia Lian heard this, the smile on his face became brighter: "Now it becomes interesting." Now, Jia Zhu not only went crazy, but also lost his reputation. "How is Rongguo Mansion now?"

"I heard that there is a mess, the old lady asked the second master and the others to tie up the young master, and don't let the young master run out and talk nonsense."

Rongguo Mansion was indeed in chaos at this time. In order to prevent Jia Zhu from running around and talking nonsense, Jia's mother had to ask someone to beat Jia Zhu unconscious.

"It's all caused by Jia Lian's broom star." Madam Wang cried and cursed, "If it wasn't for him, why would Brother Zhu go crazy? It's all because of him... My poor Zhu... Bitter brother Zhu...Jia Lian, that broom star, will die..."

Jia's mother did not stop Mrs. Wang from scolding Jia Lian. In fact, she also began to blame Jia Lian in her heart, thinking that if Jia Lian did not win the first prize, Jia Zhu would not be crazy.

Seeing that his eldest son, whom he had always been proud of, turned into a madman, Jia Zheng felt very uncomfortable. He raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked in a choked voice, "Mother, what should we do now?" Suddenly he went crazy, and invited Doctor Zhang to see it, but he couldn't see it well. He panicked and didn't know what to do.

Jia Mu frowned tightly, and said with a gloomy face, "Continue to find a doctor to treat Zhu Geer, there will definitely be a doctor who will take good care of Zhu Geer."

"Where to find it?"

"Ask someone to inquire and see which doctor can take care of Brother Zhu's illness..." Mother Jia didn't want to say that Jia Zhu was insane.

"Okay, I'll send someone to inquire now."

"Don't just inquire in the capital, write a letter back to Jinling and ask the people in Jinling to help inquire."

"it is good."

"My brother Zhu..." Mrs. Wang sat by the bed and howled.

When Jia's mother saw Jia Zhu's appearance, her heart was cut like a knife, and her tears kept falling.Back in her own room, Mother Jia couldn't help complaining to everyone Lai: "I knew that Brother Zhu would be driven mad by Brother Lian. I should have stopped Brother Lian from studying." If Brother Lian didn't study, Zhu Brother Lian will be fine, he won't be vomited blood by Brother Lian, and he won't be mad by Brother Lian.

Everyone Lai rolled his eyes secretly when he heard Jia's mother say that, and cursed in his heart, the old lady is really getting more and more brainless.

"Old lady, Master Lian is now the No. [-] Scholar and a doctor of the Ministry of Industry."

Jia's mother didn't realize that everyone Lai was reminding her, so she said with a sullen face, "If he hadn't won the first prize in the exam, how could Brother Zhu be crazy?" The knife was piercing her heart, and she said with red eyes, "If he doesn't win the first prize, Brother Zhu will have nothing..."

"Old lady, have you forgotten Master Baoyu?" Everyone Lai felt that Jia's mother was as crazy as Jia Zhu for saying such words. "You still want Young Master Lian to help Young Master Baoyu. If you say that about Young Master Lian, if it gets out and Young Master Lian finds out, what do you want Young Master Lian to think?"

When Jia Baoyu was mentioned, Mother Jia's bewildered mind regained some sense: "Baoyu..."

"Old lady, you can't say what you just said just now. Young Master Lian has a bad relationship with the mansion. If I hear what you said just now, I will never go back to the mansion again." If Jia Lian did not win the first prize, no To get the emperor's attention, everyone will not say such a thing.

When Jia's mother heard this, she looked awkward and said nothing, but she still blamed Jia Lian in her heart.

Everyone Lai has served Jiamu for decades, and he has a clear understanding of Jiamu's temperament. He doesn't know that Jiamu is actually still blaming Jia Lian.

The old lady has always been very smart, and she can understand why she has become more and more stupid in recent years.

Young Master Lian has now won the first prize in the examination and has been appreciated by the emperor. His future is boundless.She has offended Young Master Lian before, so why don't she sell it now, so that her son will follow Young Master Lian in the future, maybe there will be a good way out.

Lai everyone was thinking in his heart that the eldest young master has gone crazy, his reputation has been lost, and he will never have anything to do in the future.Master Baoyu is still young, and besides, he grabbed a box of rouge when he caught Zhou, so he probably won't do much in the future.But Young Master Lian is different, he won the first prize in the examination, he will directly work as a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, and he is one level older than the second master, and he will definitely be promoted in the future.

In this Rongguo Mansion, only Young Master Lian will have great prospects in the future. At this time, if he sells to Young Master Lian, he might be able to please Young Master Lian.

Lai everyone took advantage of Jia's mother's nap to call her son, and asked her son to go to Liuyuan Mansion to meet Jia Lian, tell Jia Lian what happened in Rongguo Mansion, and blame Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu for Jia Lian's madness. I also told Jia Lian about it.

Master Lai's son wanted to follow Jia Lian a long time ago, but he never had the chance. Now he heard what Master Lai said, and he agreed without saying a word, and went to Liuyuan Mansion to "report the news".

After Jia Lian finished his lunch and took a nap, he got up and went to send invitations.He won the first prize in the examination and is going to invite some people to eat and drink.

He went to Li Daoqing's house first, and was warmly welcomed by Li Daoqing and his wife.

Li Daoqing hadn't stopped crying since he learned that Jia Lian won the first prize yesterday, and now seeing Jia Lian, he couldn't help crying again.

Jia Lian was able to win six yuan in a row, half of which was due to Li Daoqing.He is credited with being a junior in the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination. The most remarkable thing he has done in his life is to train Jia Lian, a student who scored six grades in a row.

The master and apprentice chatted for a long time, and then went to Weijiashenna together.

When Wei Jiashen saw Jia Lian, his eyes were red too, but it was not as exaggerated as Li Daoqing's crying.

Jia Lian had dinner at Li Daoqing's house and drank a lot with the two gentlemen.The two gentlemen don't usually drink much, but today they were happy and drank a lot.

Seeing that Jia Lian was quite drunk, Zhao Mama couldn't tell him what Lai's son had come to tell him. She planned to wait until Jia Lian sobered up tomorrow morning before telling him about it.

Jia Lian woke up the next morning, ready to go to Zishan Academy to send invitations to Shanchang and his wife.

"Master, there is something I want to tell you." Mother Zhao waited for Jia Lian to finish her breakfast before opening her mouth.

"whats the matter?"

"Yesterday afternoon, Lai's son came to the mansion to look for you."

"Master Lai's son is looking for me?" Jia Lian frowned slightly, a little surprised, but also a little confused, "What did he come to see me for?" The son of everyone in Lilai spent money to buy a county magistrate, and invited Jia Mu and the others to a wedding banquet.

"He came to say that both the old lady and the second wife thought it was you who caused the young master to go crazy, and the old lady also said that if you didn't pass the exam, the young master wouldn't be crazy." Zhao Momo looked angry, "The old lady said It's too much, the young master is crazy, what does it have to do with you, the young master. It is obvious that the young master is narrow-minded and jealous of you, the young master, that made himself crazy, how can I say that it was you who caused it." I heard this yesterday afternoon News, Zhao mama burst into tears.

Jia Lian's face immediately turned cold when he heard the words, and said with a sneer, "It's not the first time Jia Zhu blames me for that old man when something happens to him." , but this time he was really angry.Jia Zhu went crazy, blaming him for winning the first prize in the exam, it's really ridiculous!

"The old lady is really too much." Mother Zhao didn't expect Mother Jia to say such words. She is still not the young master's grandmother.

"Does my father know about this?"

"The Elder Master went to Ningguo Mansion yesterday, and he only came back at night, and the old slave has not told the Elder Master yet."

"Go and tell the Elder Master about this." A cold light flashed in Jia Lian's eyes, this family must score.

"Yes." Mother Zhao went to Jia She, and told Jia She what Lai's son had said.

After Jia Amnesty heard this, his eyes were red with anger, and his heart was completely cold.

"Father, what are you going to do?"

Jia Amnesty didn't want to go back to Rongguo Mansion at first, but now that Jia's mother blamed Jia Lian for Jia Zhu's madness, she didn't want to go back to Rongguo Mansion even more.

"Brother Lian, what do you say?"

"Separate, must separate!" Now he doesn't want to have anything to do with Rongguo Mansion.

"Okay, split up!" Jia Amnesty didn't have any hesitation this time, the split was necessary for this family. "However, the old lady probably won't agree. We have to find a way to make her agree to the separation."

Jia Lian said thoughtfully, "Father, in two days you can write a note to the emperor."

"Writing notes?"

"You wrote a note saying that you are not qualified to inherit the title of Rongguo Mansion."

"Ah?" Jia Amnesty was frightened by his own son.

"Just say that Jia Zhu is crazy. The old lady blamed me for winning the first prize. You say you shouldn't let me study, and you shouldn't let me take the imperial examination. Now your nephew is crazy. You think you have no face to inherit the title of Rongguo Mansion." , Let the emperor take your title away."

Hearing this, Jia Amnesty frowned slightly, and said with a look of reluctance: "If the emperor really takes away the title, what should we do?"

"It's best to take it away, so that the old lady and the second uncle's family can be desperate!"

"Then we won't have the title..." Jia She was reluctant to take the title away.

Jia Lian glared at Jia Amnesty resentfully: "The title can be earned again in the future, and the emperor may not take it away. If you write like this, you are forcing the old lady to agree to separate the family."

"Okay, I'll write the notes in two days." Jia Amnesty knew that he would not be wrong if he listened to his son.

Jia Lian decided not to make Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang feel better this time, so he called Gao Qi over and told him, "Gao Qi, find someone to spread rumors that Jia Zhu went crazy because of jealousy, that the old lady and Mrs. Wang Blame me for winning the first prize, if I don't win the first prize, Jia Zhu will be fine."

"Yes, sir."

"People who have spread all over the capital know about it."

"Master, don't worry, the slave will definitely handle this matter well."

"En." Jia Lian turned to look at Jia She, "I'm going to Zishan Academy today to send invitations to the head of the mountain."

"Go."

"Father, you will pretend you don't know anything and go back to Rongguo Mansion to see Jia Zhu."

"Don't go back!" Jia She was so angry that he didn't want to see Jia Mu and the others at all.

"Jia Zhu is crazy. If you don't go back and have a look, uncle, you can't justify it." Jia Lian said coldly, "Just pretend you don't know anything and go back and see how that old woman plays with you." My mother was disgusted, and I was extremely disgusted in my heart.

Jia She sneered: "You're right, I'll go back and see how they act."

"Don't quarrel with them. Once we quarrel, we will become unreasonable."

Jia Amnesty nodded, "I understand."

"I've told you a long time ago that the family can be separated as soon as possible, but you still can't bear it."

"I didn't expect the old lady to be partial to right and wrong." Jia She felt very uncomfortable.

"That old woman only has the second uncle's family in her eyes, not our family."

"You go to the academy, I'll go to Rongguo Mansion."

"Well, don't show your feet."

"know."

Seeing that it was getting late, Jia Lian didn't say anything else, and went out to Zishan Academy.

Back at Zishan Academy, Jia Lian was warmly welcomed by the students of the academy.

"Brother Jia, we are proud of you, you are our role model!"

"Brother Jia, you are amazing!"

"Brother Jia, you are the pride of our Zishan Academy!"

Jia Lian was intimidated by the enthusiasm of the juniors in the academy, but he soon let go: "Thank you!"

The students of Zishan Academy surrounded Jia Lian, chatting excitedly.

I can't blame the students of Zishan Academy for being excited, Liuyuan... the first person in history is a student of Zishan Academy, can it not be exciting.

When Mr. Lu got the news, he quickly rescued Jia Lian from the siege of the students.

"Sir, have I not disappointed you?"

Mr. Lu's eyes were slightly red, and he raised his hand and patted Jia Lian's shoulder: "No, my husband is proud of you! You are the pride of our entire Zishan Academy!"

Because Jia Lian passed the six-yuan exam, Zishan Academy became the best academy in the Dalong Dynasty, surpassing Bailu Academy in the south of the Yangtze River.

"It's all thanks to the head of the mountain that he won the first prize this time!" The head of the mountain guessed the questions of the palace exam as if he had been cheated.

"Are you here to find the head of the mountain?"

"Not all of them, I also came to see Mr. Lu." Jia Lian took out an invitation card and handed it to Mr. Lu, "Mr. please attend my teacher appreciation banquet!"

Mr. Lu accepted the invitation directly, showing a rare smile on his usually expressionless face: "I will participate!"

"Thank you sir for your face!" Jia Lian said, "I still want to invite Mr. Sun and the others."

"They're all there."

Jia Lian first followed Mr. Lu and sent invitations to several other gentlemen before going to the courtyard of the mountain chief.

"I guess you're coming these two days." Mrs. Shan Chang gave Jia Lian a hug, her eyes were slightly red, "Mrs. Master knew you could pass the exam!"

"Master, this is all thanks to the head of the mountain!"

"It's also your own credit. The old man has been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't come, he will be angry."

"Then I have to hurry over and apologize to the head of the mountain for keeping him waiting for a long time."

At this time, the head of the mountain appeared and snorted coldly: "Hmph!"

"Students have seen the head of the mountain!"

"Come in!" Although the head of the mountain had a cold face, his tone was a little angry.

"Yes!"

Jia Lian went to Shanzhang's study, while Mr. Lu went to the living room.

"Students, thank you Master Shan for teaching us for more than half a year!"

"It's you fighting for yourself!" He knew that Jia Lian would not let him down.

"Sir, it's all thanks to you that I won the No. [-] Scholar Examination. You are so amazing." Jia Lian looked at the head of the mountain adoringly, "You actually guessed the question of the imperial examination correctly!"

"I didn't think of it myself." After the palace examination, the head of the mountain learned that the question of the palace examination was that water can carry a boat and capsize it. He himself was shocked, and couldn't believe that he guessed the question of the palace examination correctly.

"Sir, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the exam questions in the palace exam."

"It's just a coincidence." At that time, he just came up with the questions randomly, and he didn't expect that the questions in the palace examination would be like this.

"Even if it's a coincidence, sir, you are amazing!"

"You didn't tell others about the exam questions I guessed for the middle school exam?"

"Of course not. If other people find out, you will be in trouble, Shan Zhang." In addition, Shan Zhang has a special identity, and if he speaks out, he will definitely be questioned.

"That's good." The head of the mountain actually knew that Jia Lian would not say it.

"Shan Zhang, I would like to invite you and my wife to attend my teacher appreciation banquet."

The head of the mountain doesn't like this kind of thing, but he doesn't want to refuse Jia Lian's invitation.

"Okay, I will attend when the time comes." Think of it as supporting this kid and supporting him, so that this kid won't be too difficult when he enters the officialdom.

The two chatted for a long time in the study.The head of the mountain told Jia Lian a lot about official affairs.Although the head of the mountain has never been in the officialdom, he still knows some ways in the officialdom.

At noon, Jia Lian was left for lunch.

During lunch, Mrs. Shanchang kept handing him some vegetables, asking him to eat more.

After lunch, Mrs. Shan Chang hesitated for a while, but decided to speak: "Brother Lian, is your family engaged to you?"

Hearing this question, Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat, feeling that Mrs. Shan Chang would not ask this question for no reason.

"Master, my family hasn't engaged me yet."

Mrs. Shan Chang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and continued to ask: "Then do you have a girl you like?"

Jia Lian shook his head lightly: "No." After finishing speaking, the story of the Shanzhang's granddaughter throwing a purse at him suddenly flashed in his mind when Yujie praised the officials.When Mistress asked him this way, she didn't want to introduce her granddaughter to him, did she?

When Madam Shanchang heard Jia Lian say this, she was completely relieved: "You still have a month to go to the crown ceremony, and then you will be an adult, and it is time to talk about a marriage." If her son hadn't come to her, she would have I don't know that Wu'er likes brother Lian, and has liked him for several years.This silly girl, why don't you tell her about this, so that she can kiss her earlier.

"I'm not in a hurry." 15 years old...it's really too young.Although he is not really 15 years old, he still feels that 15 years old is too young.

"How can you not be in a hurry, when you are an adult, you should start a family and start a business."

When Jia Lian heard this, she felt very helpless, and asked directly: "Master, are you going to match me?"

Mrs. Shanchang smiled awkwardly: "Yes, I want to match you." Now that you have spoken out, let's speak openly. "Do you remember Wu'er?"

Jia Lian said in his heart that his wife really wanted to tell him about her granddaughter.

"remember."

"She is two years younger than you." Mrs. Shan Chang said with a smile, "You have seen her before, so I don't need to tell you whether she looks good or not." Although the granddaughter is not beautiful, she is still quite beautiful.

What Jia Lian could say was a dry laugh.

"I want to tell you about Wu'er." Mrs. Shan Chang said with a smile, "If I leave her to you, the old man and I will be at ease."

Jia Lian said in his heart, don't worry, but I don't.Two years younger than him, 13 years old... an uncle like him can't harm minors.

"Actually, it wasn't the first time you saw her when Wu'er came last time. You both met her a long time ago."

"Ah?" Jia Lian's eyes widened in surprise, "I saw you a long time ago?" How is it possible?With his memory, people who have met once can remember it.

"Do you still have the little girl you saw five years ago under the cherry tree in the back mountain of Fuling Temple?"

Jia Lian's eyes widened in shock, with a look of surprise on his face: "Miss Wu, could it be that Xiaoluo... the little girl?" Fuck, the granddaughter of the head of the mountain was actually the one he met five years ago in the back mountain of Fuling Temple. Ridiculous little loli.

Seeing that Jia Lian has not forgotten, Mrs. Shan Chang felt happy for her granddaughter: "Yes, it is her!"

Jia Lian was shocked. He didn't expect the granddaughter of the head of the mountain to be the little loli back then. No wonder he thought the head of the mountain's granddaughter looked familiar.Now that I think about it carefully, the facial features of Shanzhang's granddaughter are somewhat similar to the little Lolita back then, no wonder he finds them familiar.

"You said at the beginning that she was fat, but she was sad for a long time. When she got home, she decided not to eat pastries. She wanted to lose weight and become beautiful instead of cute."

Jia Lian: "..." No wonder the little loli cried so sad when he heard him say she was cute. It turned out that she didn't like others to say she was cute.

"I didn't expect Wu'er to be that little girl back then, right?"

"I really didn't expect that."

"This is your fate."
