Weiyang of the Red Mansion

In the 37th year of Yongchang, the summer was scorching, and Wang Jun served the decoction by the old man's side all day long.

The old man lay weakly on the bed. After drinking the medicine, he looked at his thirteen-year-old grandson who was already very handsome, and he was very satisfied.

The Wang family, there is someone in the later stage!

"Jun'er, you will leave for Jinling in two days, and take part in this year's provincial examination." In fact, Mr. Wang still doesn't know where his grandson's limit is. In short, he was sure two years earlier that his grandson would pass the exam.

Wang Jun's hand trembling as he placed the medicine bowl, then put the bowl on the bedside cabinet as if nothing had happened, and tucked the quilt up for the old man, "Grandfather is seriously ill, how can grandson travel far to Jinling to take the provincial examination?"

"Jun'er, I know you are filial and don't want to leave at this time, but grandfather is running out of time, and grandfather wants to see you pass the exam before he dies, so that grandfather can go to see your great-grandfather with peace of mind."

Wang Jun felt sour in his heart, lowered his eyelids and said nothing.

Wang Yao couldn't help laughing at the eldest grandson's speechless resistance, "Grandfather should have had this day long ago. If you hadn't found the inner strength method from the warehouse, grandfather would have gone to see your great-grandfather a few years ago. It is a blessing to be able to live a few more years now, why do you act like a child?"

"I……"

Wang Yao sighed, "Don't you feel at ease even if you want your grandfather to go underground?"

Wang Jun trembled when he said this, and said with a wry smile, "Why did grandfather say that, grandson is just worried..."

I was worried that he would not be able to see his grandfather for the last time when he went to Jinling to take the provincial examination.

Wang Jun is probably the one who knows best about his grandfather's body. He won't last half a year at most, that is to say, he won't survive this year.

"Grandfather knows what you are worried about, but Jun'er, as long as you can support the lintel of the Wang family, grandfather will die without regret in this life. Go."

After all, Wang Jun couldn't beat his grandfather, so he packed his bags, boarded a boat and went south to Jinling within two days.

The rural examination was held in August, and it would take about a month for him to go south like this. When he arrived in Jinling, the rural examination might start soon.

In fact, it was true. Wang Jun had just arrived in Jinling, and before he had time to rest for two days, the rural examination had already begun. Wang Jun could only rush into the examination room with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he had prepared earlier in the morning.

There are three township examinations, each lasting three days. The examination starts on the ninth day of August. In the first examination, there are four books, one five-character eight-rhyme poem, and four classics and meanings. In other words, it couldn't be easier.Enter the second test on August [-]th, and enter the third test on August [-]th.

The rankings were released on the fifth day of September, and Wang Jun's high school ranked first, and he was Xie Yuan of the provincial examination for this subject in Jinling.

After attending the Luming Banquet, Wang Jun immediately returned to Beijing by boat. It was already the end of October when he returned to the capital.

It was cold and windy, and when Wang Jun got off the boat, he saw the chief steward of the palace who came to pick him up.

"Congratulations, sir, Xie Yuan in high school." The chief steward of the Wang's mansion was the servant of Wang Yao, the old man of the Wang family, in his early years. Having gained Wang Yao's trust, the chief steward almost always followed Wang Jun's side in the past two years. The old man's entrustment was very obvious.

Wang Jun tightened his cloak. Although he has internal strength and is not afraid of the cold, he can't feel any warmth in his heart. "How is grandfather?"

Hearing the uncle asked about the old man's body, the smile on the manager's face disappeared, and he frowned and said, "It's not very good..."

"Go home!" Wang Jun got on his horse.

Seeing this, the chief steward hurriedly followed.

Back at the palace, Wang Jun went straight to the main courtyard to see the old man.

The news of Wang Jun's high school Xie Yuan has spread to the capital. After all, there are not many Xie Yuan who are nearly thirteen years old, especially Wang Jun is still from a family of generals, which is even more rare. It's not that there are none, but it's as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack if you want to pick out a talented person from the gentry who was born as a general.

"grandfather!"

After entering the back room, Wang Jun let the girl serving in the room untie the cloak on his body, walked to the bed in three or two steps, and saw that the old man's face was even uglier than a few months ago, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

When Mr. Wang saw Wang Jun, he was very happy. He stretched out his hand to hold Wang Jun's hand, "Okay, good boy, I didn't disappoint my grandfather."

"grandfather……"

"After all, our family has produced a number one scholar."

Wang Jun held his grandfather's hand back, "Is grandfather feeling okay?"

"Very well, grandfather is very well."

Less than half a month after Wang Jun returned to the mansion, the old man of the Wang family went there, still smiling when he closed his eyes.

All the acquaintances came to express their condolences. Wang Jun wore heavy filial piety to guard the spirit of his grandfather, and all of them praised the eldest son of the Wang family, Chunxiao.

After working in the dojo for 49 days, Wang Jun and his father and second uncle helped the spirit back to his hometown.

All the female relatives stayed in the capital, and Wang Ren, who was still young, stayed in the capital together.

Not long after arriving in Jinling, I heard that the aunt married to Xue's family in Jinling gave birth to a daughter in the first lunar month, and the Wang family couldn't visit because they wanted to observe filial piety, so they picked some gifts to send to them.

In December, apart from being filial, Wang Jun visited Xue's house before returning to Beijing.

The second aunt was very happy when she heard that Wang Jun was coming, and she even asked people to bring her eldest son Xue Pan and daughter Baochai to Wang Jun for recognition.

Xue Pan had just turned three years old this year, and he couldn't see anything good or bad. Wang Jun hugged him and handed it to his nurse, his eyes fell on Baochai.

"Brother Jun wants to hug his sister?"

The Xue Wang family has long heard that Wang Jun likes younger sisters. Among the younger brothers and younger sisters in the family, Wang Jun also prefers younger sisters.

Wang Jun blushed, "I want to hug you."

As for the head of the twelve beauties who are as famous as Daiyu, he is naturally curious.

"Give Jun a hug." Wang Jun is [-] years old this year. Because of his many years of martial arts practice, he looks taller than ordinary teenagers. Xue Wang is not worried that Wang Jun will throw his daughter .

Wang Jun carefully took Baochai from the nurse, looked at it a few times, and couldn't help laughing at himself.

What can a baby who is less than one year old see?That is to say, they are whiter and tenderer than ordinary children.

"My sister is very beautiful." Wang Jun said with a smile, and then returned the Baochai in his hand to the nurse.

Mrs. Xue Wang ordered the two children to be taken away, "Brother Jun has already left his filial piety, and he will return to Beijing soon, right? When do you plan to end? Your grandfather has high hopes for you."

"I have to honor my grandfather's filial piety in this year's examination, so I missed it, so I have to wait for the next subject." Waiting for another three years, Wang Jun will be 17 years old.

Xue Wang is very happy that her natal family has such a capable nephew, "Your cousin is about to reach the age of enlightenment now, I only hope that he can have half of your talent, so I can rest assured."

Xue Pan?

Thinking of the virtues of Xue Pan in the original book, Wang Jun wanted to give the second aunt some wax.

On second thought, Wang Ren could break it, why couldn't Xue Pan try?What's more, Xue Pan also has many advantages, at least for his family, Xue Pan attaches great importance and cares about it.

Now Xue Pan is only three years old, and he is not yet at the age of formal enlightenment. Let's wait for two years to read.

After staying in Xue's house for a while, Wang Jun left. As for Xue Xin, the owner of Xue's house, he went out to inspect the property and hasn't come back yet, so naturally he didn't see him.

After spending the New Year in Jinling, Wang Juncai set off to return to Beijing. Just after returning to Beijing, he heard that his aunt who married into the Rongguo Mansion was pregnant again, and she might give birth in a few months.

Wang Jun was a little dazed when he heard the news from his mother, but he didn't expect Jia Baoyu to be pregnant.

In the past few years, the Jia family has added a lot of people. The first house has added a concubine daughter and a concubine son. The second house is still only Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun. It's out.

The next month after Wang Jun returned to Beijing, he went to Rongguo Mansion to visit. He met the old lady before going to see Jia Zhu. As for Jia Lian, he hadn't returned from Zhang's house yet.

Jia Zhu's complexion is much stronger than it was a few years ago. Wang Jun can tell from the first sight that Jia Zhu has been practicing inner strength and mental skills.

"Why did Brother Jun come here?"

Wang Jun smiled, "I heard that you will go back to your hometown for an exam next year, let's see how you are doing."

After hearing this, Jia Zhu showed Wang Jun what he had written recently, and then asked Wang Jun for his opinion.

"Tongsheng is not difficult based on your accumulation, just relax your mind and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

This is tantamount to telling Jia Zhu to get over it.

Jia Zhu still trusted Wang Jun's words very much, and the gloom between his brows dissipated a lot.

"Would Brother Jun want to participate in the next test?"

Wang Jun smiled and said, "If there is no accident, I will participate."

"I heard that Lian's second brother also plans to give it a try in two years."

Wang Jun raised his eyebrows, "Although brother Lian is not as good as you, it will not be difficult to pass the entrance examination for children in two years. After all, the Zhang family has also taught him for several years, so he has made great progress."

Jia Zhu smiled when she heard the words, "Second brother Lian may not be as good as me, forget it, let's not talk about it, I heard that the old lady in your house is not in good health."

"Since my grandfather passed away, the old lady has been unhappy, and I'm afraid she will be in two years..." He lost his voice at this point, and Wang Jun frowned, "Don't talk about it, I'll be the host of Zuixianlou later, our brother Get together."

"Alright, since Big Brother Jun went to Jinling to observe his filial piety, we haven't been together for a long time."

At the beginning of March, Wang Jun invited Jia Lian, Jia Zhu and several young juniors from the four princes and eight princes to a party in Zuixianlou.

After a drink, the strangeness of this year was wiped away.

"Uncle Jun is becoming more and more powerful now. I heard that a certain talented person from the south of the Yangtze River said that he would compete with you in the next subject examination." It was Dingcheng Houfu who said this. Jin's only son, Xie Jing, is one of the most outstanding people from noble backgrounds.

Wang Jun glanced at him, heard the sourness in his words, and felt a little surprised.

Out of nowhere, what did Xie Jing do against him?

Although he thought so in his heart, he was not stupid enough to point it out in person.

"It's just that I got to know Yuan by luck. Brother Xie Jing praised me too much. Today we get together to eat and drink. What are you talking about? Come, let's have a drink together." In a few words, the matter was revealed.

In the afternoon, when the venue was over, Wang Jun led Wang Ren, Jia Lian and Jia Zhu to take a step ahead.

On the way back, Wang Jun asked them, "What's the matter with Xie Jing today? Did you say something sour to me for no reason?"
