Red Mansion points are hard to earn

"Congratulations, Miss, Brother Mo passed No.2 in the local examination." The daughter-in-law of Housekeeper Lin came in and congratulated Daiyu.

"Is this true? Xueyan, quickly invite Brother Mo to come here." Daiyu said happily, first let the housekeeper Lin's wife sit down, and then ordered the servant girl to pour tea.

"It's absolutely true. The reporter at home just entered the door, and Brother Mo was calling into the study to ask."

After a while, Lin Moyu really hurried to Daiyu's room with a look of joy on her face.

"Congratulations, brother. I look forward to the test and then to the Toad Palace to learn from Guigui." Daiyu knew it was true the first time she saw it.

"Thank you for my sister's daily teaching."

The two brothers and sisters were talking, and the people in charge of the mansion also came to congratulate the master. Daiyu was very happy to see her, so she prepared a reward. No matter what they did in the mansion, everyone had a share. beaming.

"Sister, thanks to my brother-in-law's advice for winning this time, I should come to thank you in person." Lin Moyu reminded after waiting for Daiyu to finish her orders.

"What you said is that I will go with you, and I happened to report to my elder sister personally." Lin Hanchuan was worried about their siblings, and left the mansion to accompany them to Suzhou in person. Lin Daiyu was grateful in her heart .

Xie Yan and Lin Hanchuan were also happy when they heard it. Xie Yan took advantage of the opportunity to talk to Lin Moyu about the knowledge of the examination and palace examination. Lin Moyu listened carefully and asked a few more questions if he didn't understand.Lin Hanchuan took Daiyu's hand, touched it for a while and said:

"Maybe people say that he is with his grandmother? Huan'er and Lan'er will also go together. I wonder if there will be any rankings?"

"I haven't told my grandmother yet, I'll announce the good news later." Daiyu replied.

"Third Master Huan and Brother Lan also won, but we don't know the rankings, and our family didn't go to inquire in detail." Lin Moyu hurriedly replied when she heard Lin Hanchuan's question.

"What? Huan'er and Lan'er passed the provincial examination?" Mrs. Wang couldn't hold the tea lid firmly when she heard the good news.

"That's right, congratulations madam, there are also two young masters in our mansion who are born with great achievements." The person who came to report from Jinling responded quickly, hoping that Mrs. Wang would reward her with more money when she was happy.

"Understood, let's go down." Mrs. Wang calmed down her anger and said in a deep voice.

The daughter-in-law who reported the letter looked around, and when she saw that no maid came out to reward things, she retreated somewhat disappointed.

"What a bastard, how dare you go to Jinling to take the exam without telling me!" Mrs. Wang was so angry that she simply dropped the teacup, and the maids didn't dare to show their anger.

Mrs. Wang calmed down before she came to the old lady's room.

"Our family has double happiness, the old lady has heard about it."

"It's been passed on in the house. I don't think our family, besides Baoyu, Huan'er and Lan'er can also read books. They are all scholars now." Jia Mu was really happy, and said while rubbing Baoyu in her arms:

"Seeing that your younger brother and nephew are more advanced than you, tomorrow you will also go and earn a champion for your mother, so that my old woman can explain to your grandfather after I go to the farm."

Baoyu was uncomfortable for a long time. After hearing this, he didn't answer it, and it wasn't wrong if he didn't answer it.

"Second Uncle Bao can do it all. Is it easy to win the champion for the old lady? Laner and the others are just catching up with others in the tribute courtyard, so they got in the way for a while, and they can also win a scholar by relying on shit Well, if Second Uncle Bao goes to take the test, he will naturally be the first name Jieyuan."

"What your sister-in-law said is that Baoyu will also try for the next class. If he can earn a champion and come back, he will give the empress in the palace a good look." Yuan Chun failed to keep the prince. He didn't even set foot on the palace gate, the Shi family collapsed, and the Wang family was also involved in a bunch of lawsuits. Yuan Chun didn't have a natal family to rely on, and he relied on money.

"Since you have passed the provincial examination, why don't you ask people to say something, and you don't say anything when you come back?" Mrs. Wang asked Jia Huan.

"Returning to my wife, Lan'er and I only acted stubbornly once. We never thought about being a scholar, so naturally we forgot to mention it in the mansion. Now that we are lucky, it is also on the tail." Jia Huan has been fighting wits with Mrs. Wang all year round. Dou Yong, thinking Mrs. Wang was unhappy, hurriedly laughed along with her.

"Now that you've won, you don't have to mess around like you used to, and study carefully with your father." Jiamu said.It is true that Jia Huan's grades were not good, he was No. 2 from the bottom of the provincial examination, and he was at the end of the list of scholars.Jia Mu sighed in her heart, she will have to rely on Baoyu to support the lintel of Rongguo Mansion in the future.

The whole family rejoiced positively, and another mother-in-law reported back, saying that Lin Moyu, who was seriously going for the provincial examination, also won, and she was still No.2.Mother Jia hurriedly picked out some good things from her warehouse, and asked them to send them over.By the way, they rewarded Jia Huan and Jia Lan with some things, and they kowtowed again.Seeing that Baoyu was uncomfortable, Jia's mother ordered Yuanyang to fetch some valuable things to give to him.

When Jia Zheng heard the good news, he had mixed feelings in his heart. When he was young, he studied poetry and books hard, but he didn't want to get nothing for more than ten years, and finally became an official with grace.His concubine and grandson have achieved fame at a young age.He secretly sighed that he only valued Baoyu in the past and neglected the two of them. For a while, he blamed Baoyu for not living up to expectations.

He called all three of them into the study and gave Baoyu a hard lesson. Jia Huan covered his mouth and was pulled by his sleeve by Jia Lan so that he didn't make a sound.After Jia Zheng taught Baoyu a lesson, he encouraged Jia Huan and Jia Lan to prepare for the test with all their heart.

"I don't know if my wife can let me go for a test?" Jia Huan sighed.

"Master let you go, how dare she not let you go." Aunt Zhao said hurriedly after hearing this.

"Auntie is confused, the master is naturally willing to let me go, no matter how bad I am, I am still the master's own son. My wife is not sure, although she can't shut me up in the face, but it is easy to prevent me from participating in the examination Yes, just let me get sick once, if you are more ruthless, I'm afraid I won't survive to try."

"What should we do, Madam, why not?" Aunt Zhao was startled when she heard this.

"Why not? In this mansion, is there anyone who can't be backed because of that phoenix egg?"

"According to you, what should I do? Don't eat today."

"Auntie also managed to get ahead in the back house. Apart from food, there are many ways to kill people. Besides, we can still go without food every day."

Mother and son discussed for half a day in two days, but there was nothing good to do, so Aunt Zhao had to come to Li Wan and talk about Jia Huan's concerns.

"Brother Huan is thoughtful, I am also worried about this?"

"This is strange, our Huan'er is blocking the way of the phoenix egg, and Lan'er is the grandson of the eldest son, who dares to do anything to him?"

"Isn't it the same to guard against that precious lump? You Huan'er can't pretend to be more advanced, and there is still a way to survive. We Lan'er are different. We all rely on this scientific examination to earn our own fame, or we will compete with the son of that precious lump in the future. The family property? Our new grandma, although she looks silent, is very capable. Let's see who are the people who competed with her? Who can compete with her? Usually, the second grandma Lian is said to be powerful, but still There are gaps for the subordinates to take advantage of. Now the subordinates in the mansion are under her control, and they dare not show their pride, and there is no way to survive." Li Wan said angrily.

"Grandma has always been scheming, what can we do now?"

"There is no other way now, I can only avoid it, there is no reason to guard against thieves every day. Huan'er and Lan'er were originally studying in Tingyun Academy, and they only told the master to study their homework and live in the academy every day It's quieter here."

Aunt Zhao understood, and whispered some words in Jia Zheng's ear that night. Early the next morning, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and Jia Zheng greeted each other, and when they asked to stay in Tingyun Academy, Jia Zheng agreed.After hearing this, Mrs. Wang knew that Jia Huan and the others were making excuses to hide out, and they couldn't reach out, so she just ordered her mother-in-law to send some clothes and food in the name of Li Wan and Aunt Zhao.

"Congratulations Zhang Shangshu, it's really double happiness!" Zhang Mingzhi said when he was going to the court, and his colleagues in the court cupped their hands.

"Xiao'er got to know Yuan by chance, which is barely a joy. But what is the meaning of these two characters, and where does the joy come from?"

"Zhang Shangshu doesn't know yet? I heard that Young Master Zhang married the late Jiangnan Yanzheng Master Lin's beloved daughter. Now Master Lin's only son has also won No.2 in Suzhou. It's just not as good as Master Ling."

Zhang knew that he had heard it, so he was naturally happy, and called his son Zhang Jia back home:

"These days, do you have a review book?"

"Naturally, I just went to my aunt's house with my grandmother the day before yesterday, so my father can rest assured."

"I heard that your daughter-in-law's younger brother also won No.2 in Suzhou. You will meet each other in the palace examination, so don't embarrass yourself in front of your daughter-in-law."

"Father, don't worry, if my daughter-in-law takes the exam in person, I may not be able to pass her. Others may not be able to win me. I have already told my grandmother that I will earn a champion for her."

"Hmph, ignorant child, boasting without shame. There are so many talents in the palace examination, and all the knowledgeable people in the world gather here, but you are delusional to win the first place." Zhang Mingzhi poured cold water on his youngest son.

"Father, just wait and see." Zhang Jia was full of confidence.

After his son left, Zhang Mingzhi showed a smile, and turned around to talk to his wife about it.

"Our eldest daughter-in-law is a good one, and she can also manage the house. I thought that Miss Lin was an orphan, and she had to rely on our family to live a peaceful life when she married. Now there is a capable brother in the mansion. She is also used to handling family affairs. If the two daughters-in-law fight in the future, what should I do?" Mrs. Zhang was not happy but worried after hearing this.

"You haven't married yet, so you're worried about it."

"Our son has got to know Yuan, and he will have an exam after the next year, so why not marry right away?" The Zhang family is different from other families, they believe that a woman who has no talent is a virtue, and when marrying a daughter-in-law, they like to be quick-witted.Grandma Zhang was born in a scholarly family, and she is very smart, which is very popular with Mrs. Zhang.

"You say that, because you don't like Miss Lin's coming in? Back then, I managed to snatch her as my daughter-in-law before the King of Beijing Jing. Jia'er also talked about it every day."

"My daughter-in-law is both talented and beautiful. I like it. Who would think that my daughter-in-law is capable? It's just that no matter which side is wronged, I can't bear it."

"I think you're just thinking about it because you're bored every day. Rou'er is grown up now, and you should find a good husband for her."
