[Comprehensive wear] Baiwei life

Whether it is Jia Ze or Jia Jing, it is not the first time to return to Jinling, and it can even be said that they are quite familiar with each other, and the journey along the way has been very peaceful, without any twists and turns.

This is Jia Jing's second rural examination, so he is more prepared than the first time. He is not too nervous along the way, and he is quite interested in passing on his experience to his cousin.

The township examination is also called Qiuwei, and it is held every three years, each time in August, when it is neither cold nor hot in a year.

Compared with the general examination held in the spring, aside from other things, the weather alone is pleasant enough. Of course, if it encounters a rainy day, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Jia Jing's luck was quite good in the last provincial examination. He didn't catch up with the rainy day, and he was not allocated near the stinking number. The reason why he didn't pass the examination can only be said to be his lack of strength and has nothing to do with other external factors.

But the good luck seems to have been used up last time. This time, not only was he assigned to the vicinity of the stinking number, but the second day of the exam, there was a patter of autumn rain in the sky. It leaks rain, but the airtight condition is really not very good.

In this way, not only is the room damp and cold, but the impact of the stinking horn is also greater than before.

Jia Jing was suffering unspeakably, his body was already weak, but by the third day he was already struggling.

Fortunately, it didn't rain for too long, and the next few days were followed by sunny days, so Jia Jing was able to persevere until the end.

However, before entering the examination room, I was full of confidence. After going through such a situation, I can only say that I am resigned to my fate as to whether I can pass the exam.

The pattering autumn rain had no effect on Jia Ze. It neither made him feel cold nor affected his sleep at night. From then on to the end, he remained calm and energetic.

On the first day, his mental state was not very conspicuous, but as time went on, he became more and more conspicuous among the many examinees, causing the examiners to stare at him frequently. Before the test papers were handed in, he was already seen It's over.

Jia Jing was dragged to the carriage. He was very haggard, with pale complexion, black eyes, and chapped lips. Before returning home, he fell asleep on the carriage halfway, scaring the people below. light.

This wasn't the young master's first exam, but it was the first time he was so tired.

Jia Ze hurriedly put his hands on his cousin's wrists. Fortunately, he was just very tired. There was nothing wrong with him. He didn't have a high fever or any illness.

"It's nothing serious. Let my cousin get a good night's sleep after I go back, and prepare some easy-to-digest food in the kitchen. If I'm really worried, I'll drink a bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold."

It's because medicine is three-point poisonous. If you can avoid taking medicine, try not to take medicine.

Jia Jing slept for nearly eight hours, but as Jia Ze diagnosed, there was no major problem with his body, he was just tired. Jia Jing's servants were not particularly worried about the medical skills of the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion. As early as after returning to the mansion, he sent someone to invite the doctor back, and the diagnosis result was the same.

Jia Jing obviously didn't have any hope for this provincial examination, and he couldn't help sighing while waiting for the results to be released.

"If I fail this time, I will have to wait another three years. Why am I so unlucky?"

When you don't have this strength, you are lucky and you don't encounter any bad luck. When you have this strength, your luck is not good, and you catch up with the rainy day, and you are next to a stinky number. Unlucky, if only the luck this time could be changed from last time, he wouldn't be moaning all day long.

"It turns out that it hasn't come out yet, maybe it will come around regularly." Jia Ze said in relief. Luck is quite a mysterious thing. It's not that my cousin doesn't have this ability. It's just that luck is not very good in the early stage, but I don't know if luck will be in the later stage. bottomed out.

Jia Jing couldn't help sighing heavily, hoping for luck, which is too unreliable, it's better to be mentally prepared, so that when you really fail the ranking, you won't be too sad.

During the more than ten days of waiting for the release of the rankings, Jia Jing really made enough psychological preparations for himself to fail the rankings, but this time he really did Sun Shan once.

The name happened to be the last one on the main list, that is, the last Juren admitted in this township examination. It was written on the same piece of paper as my cousin's name, except that one was at the bottom of the list and the other was at the top.

It is said that he and his cousin are the two heroes of the Jia family, but in the past he was at the front and the cousin was at the back. After today, the name of the cousin will probably be placed in front of him, just like today The list is the same.

For this reason, Jia Jing still felt a little sour in his heart, not only because of this ranking, but because he knew in his heart that even if he passed the exam smoothly, his level was not enough to get Jie Yuan.

In other words, regardless of luck, his cousin is still stronger than him in terms of strength.

But this bit of sourness is nothing compared to the joy of being in the middle school. The last place on the main list is really lucky. He almost had to prepare for the three-year provincial examination again.

"You took Jieyuan this time, so you should be preparing to take the exam next year, right?" Jia Jing swept away the haze of the past ten days, his face was full of joy, "I passed the provincial exam at the end of the crane, and I will take the exam next year." I don’t plan to take part in the test, it’s better to wait another three years.”

Jia Ze didn't hide it either, "I do have this plan."

The date of his marriage has not been fixed yet, but it is estimated that it will be next year. At that time, almost all the exams will be finished. After getting the title on the gold list, marrying a wife will also make the two families look good.

Don't think that he doesn't know what everyone thinks about this marriage in private. Some say that the Jia family has no successors in the army, and some say that the Zhang family is short-sighted. Anyway, there are all kinds of ugly words, but there are not many blessings .

Although these words can't affect Jia Ze's mood, it doesn't mean they won't affect other people, so if he can be named on the gold list before the big wedding, it can be regarded as a slap in the face of those gossiping people.

"Then you have to prepare well, and don't take it lightly. Don't think that you can get the first name in Jinling. The world is so big and there are so many scholars. Those who can finally go to the capital to participate in the imperial examination and palace examination are all scavenger hunts. The outstanding ones replaced by Shatao are no worse than anyone else. If you have time, you can go to Zhang’s house a few more times, but if Mr. Zhang can remind you a few words, it is better than reading it behind closed doors. A few months of reading is strong."

Jia Jing himself married the daughter of a scholar as his wife, but his family background is far inferior to that of the Zhang family. His father-in-law was also promoted in the imperial examination, but after becoming an official, he didn't concentrate on reading the Four Books any more. The above guidance is really limited.

But Mr. Zhang is different. He won the first prize in the examination before he was 20 years old, and he has been staying in the Imperial Academy for these years. It can be said that he has become more and more diligent in learning.

Jia Jing was really envious of this.

This is good intentions, Jia Ze is not a person who doesn't know what to do, so he quickly agreed. Even if his cousin didn't say anything, he originally planned to go to Zhang's house a few more times on weekdays. Meet your fiancée.

When I came to Jinling, because I was concerned about Jia Jing’s body, I walked in a leisurely way. When I went back, I didn’t need to worry. Never, I would rather stay in the inn for one more day than rest in the wilderness.

It was originally planned to leave the capital for three months, but in fact it took four full months to come back.

Four months is really enough time for a lot of things to happen.

For example, his second brother was first imposed by his father on the stool and beaten with ten sticks, but now the injury has almost healed. If the second brother hadn't come to complain to him, he wouldn't have noticed that the second brother My brother was beaten during this time.

During Jia Ze's stay in Jinling, more than one letter was sent from his family, especially his second brother. The letters were basically sent every few days, not to mention how often.

However, there were so many letters, but none of them mentioned the beating. Presumably, it was because he was worried that it would affect his mood for the exam.

But compared with the lifelong event of the second brother, the matter of suffering from his father's family law is really nothing.

"Master Rong'an? How do you two know each other? What's the situation? Do father and mother know?" Jia Ze asked repeatedly. According to what his second brother said, in later generations it's called dating, but in the present But it was privately given.

It's not that he is old-fashioned in thinking, but that the current world is like this. Even if it is a princess of a country, if the story is spread, it will damage his reputation. Although his second brother is a man, he will live forever, so why don't he If you want something from others, you can't ruin your reputation.

Jia Amnesty was quite unrestrained, "I bumped into each other when I went out to play, and I got to know each other after a while. The first person I told was you, big brother. I didn't tell anyone else."

More than three months ago, his father beat him with a full ten sticks, and told him to take a good look in the mirror, realize how much he weighed, and don't be too ambitious, any of those girls would be more than enough to match him .

Jia Amnesty understood the subtext, that is, he is a tortoise, so don't think about eating swan meat all day long.

Jia She was lying on the bed with his butt swollen that day, and he didn't forget to take a good look in the mirror. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was not because he had no self-knowledge, but because his father insisted on picking bones from eggs and telling nonsense while blindfolded.

He saw all those girls, they were vulgar and vulgar fans, and all of them added up couldn't match him alone.

Anyway, no matter if it's his father or his mother, none of his biological parents can think highly of him, so why should he tell them about his relationship with Princess Rong'an, as long as his brother is enough.

Jia Ze rubbed his brows, "Then what is your plan? If you keep hiding it like this, what is Princess Rong'an's plan? It stands to reason that the two of you are also old, if you really love each other, then you should get your name as soon as possible." Set it down, don't let interested people know, it will ruin the reputation of both of you."

Really love?Really not, Jia She knew in his heart that whether it was him or Princess Rong'an, they were all just... out of love, and as for falling in love, they really didn't go to that level.

"Let's wait and see. Princess Rong An hasn't mentioned this, so I don't think it's urgent."

Compared with the girls from the families that his father planned to show him before, Princess Rong'an was of course more in his mind, but Princess Rong'an didn't mention it, and he himself didn't want to mention it. bring it on.

Jia Ze really didn't know whether his younger brother was confident or not, regardless of Rong Angui being the princess, no matter whether this matter was discovered or not, the girls would suffer the most.

"How did I tell you before that a man has to take responsibility? Princess Rong'an didn't mention this matter, so why can't you mention it? How important is a girl's family name? If you like her, Then give all the titles that should be given, and stay together forever in the future, if you don't like her, then leave as soon as possible, don't waste her time, let alone tarnish her reputation."

Jia Ze used to be worried that his younger brother would really become the old dandy and scumbag described in Dream of the Red Chamber, so since childhood, he taught his second brother to be brave enough to take responsibility, not to easily provoke girls, let alone ruin his reputation.

Jia She opened his mouth, intending to explain that it was not because he didn't want to be a man when it came to matters with Princess Rong An, but that Princess Rong An preempted everything he should and shouldn't do. The reason why individuals get together is really not a matter of course, but Princess Rong'an proposed it on his own initiative. Of course, he didn't object, let alone refuse, and immediately agreed.

"Then I will go and tell her tomorrow that if she is willing, I will come back and ask my father to go to the eldest princess's mansion to ask for marriage." Jia Amnesty gritted his teeth, but finally did not explain the matter to his elder brother.

A man is a big man, stretching out his head for a knife, and shrinking his head is also a knife.No matter how domineering Princess Rong An is, she is still a girl after all, and sometimes it really is him, a man who takes the initiative to take the first step.

At this time, Jia Amnesty didn't know that many years later, he was extremely grateful for the decision he made today, and he was extremely grateful for his brother's suggestion. This is the first step for the daughter-in-law.
