After returning to Yihong Courtyard, Baoyu looked at Daiyu's self-portrait on the desk and held the purse that Daiyu had made for him in his hand, thinking secretly: "It's time to do something real for my sister!" Now he is no longer the ignorant boy who only knew about romance, recited poems and composed poems, and only knew how to hang out with girls.Since the last time, when he learned the truth about Daiyu's poisoning, he has been completely sober... He thought again, if he really wanted to go to Suzhou to guard the door for Daiyu, it would be fundamental for him to be alone. Impossible.There is only one way to help him realize his wish, and that is to take the imperial examination. As long as he is in high school, he will have the opportunity to go to Suzhou.For Sister Lin, he is willing to pick up the scroll again, for Sister Lin, he is willing to participate in the scientific examination, for Sister Lin, he is willing to do anything.

By coincidence, three days later, the imperial court will have a list, and the exam this autumn will be scheduled for three months later. Baoyu was overjoyed when he found out, and secretly prepared for it.During the day he pretended to be the same as usual, and in the evening he read in the study with the lamp on. Seeing that he suddenly started working hard, Xiren couldn't help being very happy, and served him more tenderly and attentively than usual.Baoyu originally liked Xiren's gentleness and carefulness, but since he learned that she colluded with Xue's mother and daughter, secretly rumored and slandered Daiyu everywhere, and pushed Daiyu everywhere in front of his mother, Mrs. Wang, he was already very disappointed in her. .He also heard that she instigated the raid on the Grand View Garden in front of Mrs. Wang last time, which caused Qingwen to be expelled. If Daiyu hadn't rescued her in time, she would have passed away long ago.So, now he is full of disgust for Xiren, and he can't like it anymore.Thinking of this, Baoyu had a secret idea in his heart. He first asked Xiren to call Sheyue in, and after Sheyue came in, he sent Xiren out: "From tonight, Muskyue will be in the study every night. It’s time. Xiren is busy enough during the day, so don’t be on duty at night.” Baoyu’s words sounded superficially for Xiren’s sake, to let her have a good rest at night, so as not to be in a bad mood the next day.In fact, he didn't give her any chance to get close to him.With tears in his eyes, Xiren suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley.

Jia Zheng didn't know what Baoyu was thinking, and now he only put all his thoughts on Jia Lan, and Jia Huan himself only rested at Aunt Zhao's place and studied his homework.Three months will come soon. This morning, Jia Zheng specially arranged and packed everything for Jia Lan, and told him to be careful on the road and come back as soon as possible after the exam.Jalan nodded in agreement.But Baoyu got up very early this morning, and Sheyue waited for him to wash and wash. Before going out, Baoyu looked back at her carefully: "Stay well at home and wait for my good news. When my master is in high school, I will take you out of here." !" Musk Moon cried and nodded.Jia Huan didn't know when he left Jia's mansion, and he took Aunt Zhao's close body and went to the exam alone.But Jia Zheng didn't even know.

Besides, Baoyu's predecessor was originally a waiter of Shenying in the fairy world. This time he went to participate in Qiu Wei, which was originally a process that he must go through in the world. Time, without thinking, all in one go.After the exam, he still quietly returned to Jia's mansion alone, without anyone knowing or anyone noticing.A few days later, the imperial court issued the high school's list papers, and the news of the good news went all the way to Jia's house, and the servant immediately ran to inform Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng thought it was the arrival of Jia Lan's happy event, so he rushed out to greet him, but saw the newspaper coming to the middle of the courtyard: "Congratulations, Mr. Jia, your son Jia Baoyu has graduated from high school!" ? Who is in high school?" "It's your son, Jia Baoyu is in high school!" Jia Zheng was stunned, why did Baoyu know how to go to high school, when did he go to the exam behind his back, why didn't he know anything.Then the newspaper continued to report: "There is another Jia Huan, who won 20th place. Jia Lan won 18th place." Jia Zheng was stunned, why Huaner also went to the exam behind his back, and he also won the exam. .In any case, this was a great joy for him, so he quickly ordered the servant to prepare a red envelope, because three people in his family had won the imperial list, so he was so happy that he even wrapped 60 taels of silver for the reward. Son, the newspaper thanked you again and again.

In Yihong Courtyard, when the maids heard that Baoyu was on the top list of high school, they all ran to the study happily, knelt down and kowtowed to Baoyu to congratulate him.Baoyu smiled and asked Sheyue to reward each of them with a tael of silver, and Sheyue did so with red eyes.Everyone was secretly surprised, logically speaking, Xiren should have done this, when was it replaced by the inconspicuous Musk Moon.Everyone took the reward money, kowtowed, and went out happily.At this moment, Jia Zheng walked in slowly, looked at his son who always made him hate iron and steel with exquisite eyes, and said nothing.Baoyu also stood up and looked at his father fearlessly. This was the first time he looked directly at Jia Zheng with such eyes, without the slightest fear or timidity.Although Jia Zheng didn't say anything, his heart was agitated. It was the first time he had seen such a precious jade in his life.So, he didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder solemnly, and walked out.

Jia Zheng came to Aunt Zhao's residence full of worries, and saw that she was sitting in front of the lamp, embroidering something, while Jia Huan stood by.Seeing Jia Zheng walking in, Aunt Zhao quickly stopped what she was doing, and told Caiyun to pour tea quickly, and Jia Huan also stood up quickly, without the slightest flinch and uninhibited expression on her face.Jia Zheng sat down beside him: "Why didn't you tell me?" Aunt Zhao was about to say something when Jia Huan stopped her first: "Second brother Bao didn't tell you either!" Jia Zheng grinned. "All this time, when have you really cared about me and my mother?" Jia Huan said bluntly and fearlessly.After hearing this, Jia Zheng bowed his head guiltily.

But when Jia Mu heard that both Baoyu and Jialan had participated in the scientific examination, and that they were both in high school, she was overjoyed, so she discussed with Daiyu, homesick and went to see it, it was lively, and Daiyu agreed with a smile. .After a few days, the grandparents and grandchildren sat on the phoenix chariot and went back to Jia's mansion together.When Jia Zheng heard his mother coming home, he was very excited, and brought everyone to greet him at the door. He was very pleased to see Daiyu by his mother's side.Jia He hid himself in the room and did not dare to show his face again.When they arrived at Jiamu's room, everyone came to say hello, and Jiamu said, "Get up. How can there be so much courtesy!" Jia Zheng came to Daiyu again, wanting to pay respects, but Daiyu stopped him with a smile.At that moment, Baoyu, Jia Lan and Jia Huan came forward to kowtow to their ancestors together.Mother Jia burst into tears, never expecting to see the day when the younger generation will be honored by their ancestors.Looking at Baoyu, he is thinner than before, but also more stable; Jia Lan has grown up a lot, and his facial features are quite like Jia Zhu's back then; But it is a bit like Jia Zheng's back then.After looking at it for a long time, the old lady ordered Yuanyang to open a box she brought back. There were many items in it, all of which were of great value.With tears in her eyes, the old lady gave Baoyu a pair of dark green emerald pixiu paperweights, and said earnestly: "This is what your elder sister asked me to give you when I was leaving. I hope you will live up to expectations!" The good Duan inkstone was handed to Jia Lan: "This is a gift from your mother. This is an ancient inkstone, and its value is not lower than that of the paperweight." He took out a pair of white marble lake brushes and handed it to Jia Huan: "This is a gift from your mother. Yes, this Yuhu brush is not ordinary." The three of them knelt down and kowtowed again to thank them.Jia Mu gave some things to the three of them privately, and encouraged them to support each other.That night, Jia's mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the lights were brilliant to welcome Jia's mother and Daiyu, and also to celebrate high school for Baoyu and the other three.During the dinner, Baoyu secretly stared at Daiyu, seeing her healthier and ruddy complexion than before, he felt relieved a lot.For a while, the banquet was over, Yuanyang waited for Jia Mu to rest in the room, and Daiyu and Zijuan Qingwen returned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.Baoyu was silent for a while, and only quietly followed behind. After Daiyu entered the house, she went back to Yihong Courtyard quietly by herself.
