[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

Half a month before the spring, both Jia Zhu and Meng Chengyun returned to the capital from the outskirts of the city, preparing for the examination room in advance.

Everyone in the Jia family was nervous about Jia Zhu's exam, but last time Jia Zhu was outside, even if they were nervous, it would not affect Jia Zhu's mood. I don't care about it on the Internet, but I am nervous in my heart, and I feel even more tired.

The only one who is really calm is Jia Lian. Jia Zhu can see clearly about his own achievements. He said that it is difficult to say that he is basically not being modest, so he has no expectations at all, and he treats it as an experience of Chunwei.

On the day of the exam, all the young and old women in Jia's mansion asked Jia Lian to see them off, so Jia Lian went. Seeing Meng Chengyun getting off the carriage unhurriedly from a distance, he just nodded his head from a distance and didn't go over to speak.

"Can you bear it?" In order to prevent cheating, the students can't wear too much in such a cold day. Jia Lian watched Jia Zhu shivering, and couldn't help being a little worried: "Don't force it, do what you can."

Jia Zhu rubbed her hands, her exhaled breath was filled with white mist, "You have to try your best, and you will continue to participate after you miss this time, and you can't avoid it."

"You can judge by yourself." Jia Lian glanced at Jia Zhu who was about to be in line, "Anyway, just relax, I'll pick you up when the first round is over."

"it is good."

Watching Jia Zhu being inspected and entering the examination room, Long'er stomped his feet and asked, "Master, where are we going?"

Jia Zhu's servant also stood by and waited for Jia Lian's order. Jia Lian thought about it and said, "Yesterday your wife said she wanted to drink mutton soup. Let's go buy some and take it home."

After speaking, he said to Jia Zhu's servant: "You stay on guard first, someone will replace you at night."

"Okay, Master Lian."

Leaving a carriage here, Jia Lian went to buy mutton soup, and asked Long'er to give a portion of the mutton soup to Jia Zhu's servant before returning to the mansion.

Chunwei had to spend the night in the examination room for each of the three exams. The members of the Jia family were worried about Jia Zhu's health. The tone is also more worried.

Jia Lian reckoned the time and came outside the examination room to wait for him to come out. He had someone cook a pot of ginger soup which was now heating up in the carriage. When Jia Zhu and Meng Chengyun came out, he poured a large bowl of warm soup for each of them. body.

Although the Meng family would also prepare, Meng Chengyun did not refuse Jia Lian's kindness.Jia Lian didn't let Meng Chengyun get out of the carriage after drinking, and they sent him back to Meng's house directly.

After returning to the mansion, seeing Jia Zhu’s body in person, Jia Mu and the others felt relieved, but the sky did not come true. Not long after the second exam started, the sky in the capital was full of snowflakes, and the weather was bitingly cold .

Waiting and waiting, finally when the time came, Jia Zhu was pale and was helped out by Meng Chengyun, and fainted as soon as she saw Jia Lian.

Jia Lian beckoned the servant to quickly help Jia Zhu to the carriage, and thanked Meng Chengyun: "Thank you, I have to send Jia Zhu back quickly, I can't tell you more, forgive me."

"Understood." Meng Chengyun was not polite to Jia Lian either. Their carriage parked with Jia's, and they got into the carriage and went back. Although his body is much stronger than Jia Zhu's, he had to go back early to ensure his condition. .

He hurried back to the mansion, and as soon as Jia Zhu was settled, the doctor came forward to help him diagnose the pulse. This is the ghostly weather, so he invited him here early, and he really needed it.

Jia Zhu, who was unconscious, was forced to get used to the good medicine, and he didn't wake up until night.

Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her son and didn't want him to continue to take the exam. Mother Jia also had the same idea, and said directly: "Isn't it said that this subject will basically fail? Why don't you just give up, because you can't burn your body."

"I, I'm fine." Jia Zhu was still weak, but at least his mind was still clear. Seeing that the elders did not allow him to take the exam, he struggled to get up.

Jia Lian stretched out his hand and pushed the person back with a slight force, and said to his grandmother and second aunt, "Drink the medicine first, and let's see what happens tomorrow."

When Jia Lian said that, Jia Zhu didn't refute. Although the others were worried about his health, they didn't say anything more.On the second day, Jia Zhu's temperature dropped, and he insisted that he sent someone to the examination room after all.

"Cough, cough."

He tried his best to endure it in front of the elders, and Jia Zhu couldn't stop coughing when he got into the carriage.Jia Lian handed him a glass of warm water, and seeing that his face improved after drinking it, he persuaded him, "I am sending you to the exam against the dissatisfaction of the elders, not that you must persevere, but I hope that after you really try If you give up, you won’t regret it, and the words will be ruined, but if you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about firewood, don’t put the cart before the horse.”

"Cough." Jia Zhu nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely give up if it really doesn't work."

Jia Zhu's physical condition is really worrying, so Jia Lian didn't go back this time. Instead, the carriage was parked outside the examination room, and he opened a private room in the restaurant to wait.

However, Jia Zhu persevered on the first day, but felt weak when he got up the next morning. He tried to pick up a pen but couldn’t think about the topic at all. He shook his head and still didn’t wake up much. Indicate to the proctor that the exam is abandoned.

When the servants of Rongguo Mansion saw the young master being helped out, they immediately took him over.Jia Lian hurried over when he got the news, and when he got into the carriage, he saw that Jia Zhu was unconscious.

The condition worsened, but fortunately he stopped the damage in time after he felt that he was not in good health, instead of continuing to waste energy. After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he only said that he would recover after a period of time, but he still needed to make up more if he didn't hurt the root cause.

Although everyone felt distressed, they knew that he was fine.Jia Lian said to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang with a bit of a smile: "Brother Zhu can make people feel at ease. He knows how to do what he can, so don't worry too much."

They complained that Jia Lian didn't follow them to stop Jia Zhu. Although now they know that Jia Zhu knows what's going on, but they don't care about it.

Two days later, Meng Chengyun came to visit the sick Jia Zhu.Jia Lian took him directly to Jia Zhu's yard, and happened to meet Yuan Chun and Li Wan.

When Li Wan and Yuan Chun saw guests coming, they immediately stood up to say hello to them, and then prepared to leave space for the men.

Meng Chengyun saw her again after a long time, and couldn't help but pay more attention to her. Her face didn't change, but she seemed to be taller and thinner...

Jia Zhu leaned against the bedpost, narrowed her eyes when she saw this, and looked at Jia Lian, the meaning behind it was understood only by the other party.

After that, Meng Chengyun didn't show any abnormalities again, and Jia Lian and Jia Zhu didn't deliberately mention Yuanchun this time.After Jia Lian sent Meng Chengyun away, he returned to Jia Zhu, sat down and asked directly, "Did Brother Zhu see it?"

"Cheng Yun looks at Yuan Chun in a different way."

Jia Zhu spoke very conservatively. Jia Lian shook his fan and nodded, "If I hadn't been paying attention, I probably wouldn't have discovered it. Why don't we talk to him directly after the palace examination is over?"

"It's not that Yuan Chun can't get married, how can a woman lower her own value?" Jia Zhu disagreed, and directly objected: "If he wants to, he should come to us directly, otherwise he doesn't want to."

It's not incomprehensible for Jia Zhu's mentality to be introduced to the eldest sister, Jia Lian. She twirled her fan and said, "Then follow the original plan and see his attitude."

They specially arranged such a trip today because they wanted to test whether Meng Chengyun had any intentions for Yuan Chun. won't suffer.

When the test results came out, Jia Zhu still had some subjects to answer, so he must have failed the exam, so the rest of the Jia family didn't pay attention to the results.But it was certain that Meng Chengyun would be on the list, so Jia Lian went out anyway, reserved a private room in the restaurant, and then went to Meng's house.

Not long after waiting at Meng's house, he heard the sound of beating gongs and drums to announce the good news. Meng Chengyun won No.16 in the examination at the age of 1.Mr. Meng was very happy. After Jia Lian congratulated him immediately, he abducted the person and left Mr. Meng at home to deal with the congratulatory people.

But it only took half a day, Meng Chengyun still had to prepare for the palace test, Jia Lian couldn't delay him for too long, the two separated early after a little celebration.

And because a friend had to take the palace exam, Jia Lian was still very concerned about the exam. On the day the palace exam ended, Meng Chengyun was appointed by His Majesty as the champion of the new subject, and Jia Lian was sincerely happy for him.

After searching in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian and Jia Zhu gave him a congratulatory gift.

"The No. [-] Scholar Parade...Will Brother Lian go to see it?"

"Huh?" Jia Lian didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that the drunkard's intention was not to drink, so he deliberately said: "Brother Zhu didn't win, and the mansion doesn't want to mention this matter to upset him." Comfortable."

"That's it." Meng Chengyun felt a little disappointed, but still nodded with a smile and said: "There are some concerns."

Jia Lian laughed at him when he saw his smirk, but she couldn't bear to bully the innocent boy, so she patted him on the shoulder immediately and said heartily, "I'm teasing you! Grandma knows you are the number one student in high school. I booked a private room, and when the time comes, the whole family will go there, and we are ready to see the demeanor of our new champion!"

When Meng Chengyun heard it, he didn't care about Jia Lian's teasing, he only had a smile on his face and never let it go.

On the day of the parade, Meng Chengyun's expression remained indifferent. Even though many people around him were calling him, many girls threw handkerchiefs and flowers over and ignored him, and the second place even teased him for being "incomprehensible".

Meng Chengyun didn't care at all, until he arrived at the restaurant Jia's booked, he changed his previous coldness, raised the corners of his lips and looked at the veiled person on the second floor, his eyes seemed to be full of stars...
