Ever since her grandson came back from Jinling, Jia's mother has been eating fast and praying to Buddha, while waiting anxiously for Jinling to deliver the message, but on the other hand, she never let anyone ask Wukong about anything.

Seeing that his son was wandering around the garden with his sisters every day, Jia Zheng deliberately took him into the study and scolded him.But the old lady said that she would not teach him to ask again, and asked Baoyu to worship Lin Ruhai as his teacher, so she had no choice but to give up.

Mrs. Wang was grounded, and Baoyu couldn't intervene. He rested at Aunt Zhao's place every day. Seeing Jia Huan a lot, he paid more attention to him.

Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Jia Huan has already acquired a whole body of bad habits, and his talent in reading is mediocre.Jia Zheng taught him patiently for two days, and when he saw that he couldn't understand even a piece of "The Analects of Confucius", he immediately threw the inkstone and walked away.

Seeing his uneasy expression, the Qing guests rushed to flatter him, especially Shan Pinren and Zhan Guang, who could tickle Jia Zheng's itch the most.

Jia Zheng gradually frowned, but sighed again: "Although Jinling is far away, it shouldn't be that the letter has not been handed over at this time."

Hearing him talk about Jinling, everyone knew that it was about Erye Bao's business, so they hurriedly said auspicious words.

Jia Zheng, however, became more and more disturbed as he listened, and was about to tell them to shut up, when he saw a young man running over in a hurry, with a happy face on his face.

"Reporting to the master, someone from Jinling is here! Our Second Master Bao has won!"

Jia Zheng's face froze with anger, and he hurriedly asked, "But Zhunxin, does the old lady know?"

"The person who reported the letter has already gone to the upper room, and the second master Bao is also at the old lady's place."

The joy on Jia Zheng's face faded, he waved his hands and said, "Got it."

As a father, he is now at the bottom of the list.

The upper room was full of joy, the old lady first rewarded the second steward from Jinling, and then ordered the mandarin ducks to pass the order, and the whole house rewarded one month's money.

The girls made fun of Wukong, "It's amazing, I won No.2. Now I am a serious scholar!"

But Wukong raised his eyebrows, and asked the second steward, "Who is the chief case in this Huifu?"

The second steward glanced at his face, hesitated to speak.

"Yes, it's the young master of the Zhen family in Tirenyuan, Zhen...Baoyu."

His family name is Jia, his family name is Zhen, but both masters are called "Baoyu".My family has an extra piece of beautiful jade brought from the womb. Everyone believes that he has a good fortune.Who knew that when two "precious jades" got together, they would be outmatched by the one without jade!

Presumably it should be on the surname, this is really a "fake gem".

Mother Jia's smiling face froze, and she pulled Wukong closer, "You are only a student, and you drove all the way from the capital by boat. It's not as easy as him to wait for work."

But Wukong didn't believe this, he made some calculations with his fingers in his sleeves, and sneered from the bottom of his heart.

Coming out from the old lady, the sisters hugged Wukong to comfort him, Daiyu saw that he looked normal, so she stood silently aside and did not interfere.

Yingchun was going to learn housekeeping from Sister Feng, and Aunt Zhao sent someone to invite Tanchun. Xichun was thinking about the unfinished paintings, and they all left after a while.

Then Wukong came up to Daiyu and pretended to be pitiful, "Sister, I have been compared to others..."

Daiyu tapped between his brows, and the fragrance from his sleeve wafted to Wukong's nose, making him blush, and hurriedly took half a step back.

"I don't feel sad at all looking at you."

Daiyu's eyes fluttered, and she was charming and mischievous, "I used to have my tail up to the sky, but now I know that there are others, which just teaches you to be humble."

"I believe in people outside of people, such as Sister Lin, such as Uncle Lin..."

Forget about Zhen Baoyu.

When it came time for Lin Ruhai to rest and take a bath, Wukong rode his horse and escorted Daiyu home. Seeing the reunion of her father and daughter, he was assigned to the study, and Tian Yuanzhi stared wide-eyed.

Tian Yuanzhi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Second Master Bao is now a scholar, why don't you look smiling?"

Wukong picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said: "Then Zhen Baoyu really beat me?"

"Didn't all the papers be posted for public announcement, and Jinling's servants didn't bring you a copy?"

Tian Yuanzhi squinted his eyes and chuckled, "Your essays and policy theory are far superior to his, but you made a mistake in memorizing the scriptures. Master Xuezheng hates you for being arrogant, so he appointed Zhen Baoyu to be the leader of the case."

The old man really took him for a fool.Wukong snickered and stopped entangled in this matter.

When Lin Ruhai came in at once, seeing the two of them sitting dryly facing each other drinking tea, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You didn't get the case, it really frustrated your arrogance, and you didn't even want to talk."

Wukong couldn't help showing face to his old father-in-law, so he stood up and clasped his fists, and said with a smile: "Although I'm not the first name, I can't say that I can pay tribute faster than the first one."

The students in the government examination are called scholars, but they are called "lin students".Among them, the one with the best literary talent and character can be selected as a tribute student as appropriate, which is called "Ba Gong".

The little emperor's determination to clean up the Zhen family cannot be reversed. The old emperor's prestige is getting worse day by day, and it is not easy to confront him head-on.

Liang Heng lingered in Jinling for too long, and the little emperor couldn't let him delay any longer.Zhen Yingjia has been reprimanded twice by the emperor's decree in one month, and she also lost her position as the president of the Institute of Physical Education.

The house was confiscated, and the Supreme Emperor took action to protect a young child, and the emperor would not be able to kill them all, and he would have a reputation of being mean and ungrateful.

This Zhen Baoyu is a bit of firewood left by the Zhen family, and it is also the last bit of mourning from the Supreme Emperor to Concubine Zhen.

As for Jia Baoyu, he suffered a loss in the battle between the two emperors, and lost a good case. If there is no compensation, Jia Yuanchun, a virtuous concubine, will really become a show.

Yuan Chunzao paid close attention to his younger brother's career in the imperial examinations, fearing that he would fail the exams and become discouraged and refuse to make progress. Hearing that he won No. 2 in Jinling Province, he was overjoyed for a while.

Baochai coaxed the little prince to sleep, and went into the inner hall to see Yuanchun. Seeing her pale face but couldn't hide the joy on her brows, she hurriedly asked why.

Yuan Chun beckoned her to sit on the side of the couch, and said with a smile: "The palace servants came to report, and Baoyu has passed the No. 2 exam this time."

Baochai's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Brother Bao used to be playful, but he only started to study hard in the past two years. He has already achieved such achievements, and there will be no limit in the future."

Yuanchun forcibly prolongs his life every day. The plan is for his younger brother to become an official in the court and help his son seize the throne in the future.After hearing Baochai's auspicious words, she felt that her younger brother Fenghou Baixiang was in front of her eyes, her face was radiant, but she could not see that she was suffering from illness.

The emperor had just finished processing the memorial, and when he entered the palace, seeing Yuan Chun in a rare spirit, he hurried over to hold her hand.

"Do you feel better today?" He caressed Yuan Chun's face with pity in his eyes.

Baochai quietly withdrew from the palace, closed the palace door gently, and went to talk in the room holding the piano.

Baoqin's body is already healed, but during the day, he doesn't go to the front to serve. He just stays in the room doing needlework.

When she saw Baochai coming, she showed a smiling face, pulled him to sit beside her, pointed to the half-embroidered water lily on the satin surface, and said, "I embroidered according to the technique you mentioned last time. Look at it, it's fine." Is it okay?"

Baochai took it and embroidered two stitches, lowered her eyebrows and said with a smile: "My sister is familiar with it, so I'm just saying a few words."

She was slightly surprised when she saw that there was still powder on Baoqin's face that hadn't faded away.

She doesn't go out to serve, so there is really no need to put on makeup.It's just that I put on a cute dress for a while, and it's not time to go to bed, so why did I take it off early?

And her previous illness...

Repeatedly reminding herself not to be impatient, Baochai had a gentle and modest smile on her face, talking with Baoqin one after another.

There were no maids standing in the palace, so the emperor held Yuanchun in his arms.The two were half leaning on the bed and talking softly, like an ordinary couple.

"I haven't seen you so happy for a long time, but for the sake of my younger brother?"

Yuan Chun nodded and said with a smile, "I always thought he was still a naughty boy, but now he's promising."

The emperor pinched her cheek lightly, "I just passed the entrance examination, so I'm considered promising?"

Yuan Chun acted timidly, "The concubine's family has been in the army for generations. Although the elder brother at the head also went to school, he didn't get any honors in the exam. Now it is a great joy to be a granary student."

The emperor laughed, and heard her say again: "I don't know whose family Yushu is the one who is in charge of the case. If he is overwhelmed by the provincial and general examinations tomorrow, Baoyu will be annoyed."

The emperor laughed, and stroked her hair, "He is still young, why don't you choose him as a tribute student and go to the Imperial College to study for a few years, otherwise he will be awarded, and it is not easy to give him an official position."

"This..." Yuan Chun bit his lip, "This is against the rules, how could Your Majesty..."

"He is the descendant of Rong Guogong and the younger brother of the noble concubine. It is only because of my kindness to him. Who can say anything?"

Besides, this is the compensation Jia Baoyu deserves.

Yuan Chun showed tears of gratitude, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, would you like to have dinner with the emperor? Although the courtiers and concubines can't serve you, but hold the piano..."

The emperor's face sank, and he sighed after a while, "Now it's the country's filial piety, so I don't need her to serve you. I'll go back and write the imperial decree of Bagong, and I'll come to see you at night."

Mother Jia ordered the kitchen to tidy up a table of food. The two families gathered together to celebrate Wukong's passing the exam. They were having a lively meal when they suddenly accepted the emperor's favor.

After seeing off the eunuch who announced the decree, Jia She said with a smile: "It's terrible, now that you are a tribute student, you can become an official directly!"

"How old is he, what kind of official is he?" Jia Mu cast a sharp look at him, then stroked the big black braid on top of Wukong's head, "The emperor values ​​you, you should study harder in the future."

Wukong nodded, but he heard Jia Zheng say, "Your Majesty is looking at your mother's favor. Don't be arrogant and think yourself something special. If you fail in the township examination, you will not only lose face of your father, but also disgrace your uncle."

This old man is always a "beast" and "bastard", Wukong has long ignored him and just let him scold him.

But Jia Mu frowned and said to Jia Zheng, "Since you are full, go yourself. We girls still have to talk and eat."

Jia Zheng knew that he had offended her, so he had no choice but to leave.

"Unfortunately, it's a national funeral, so he didn't give him wine to eat." Mother Jia snorted, and called everyone to eat food, "Today is a good day for Baoyu, so we can't let our interest go away."

In the early morning of the second day, Shihou's mansion and Wang's family each sent congratulatory gifts.After noon, the acquaintances of Feng's family, Wei's family and Xue's family also brought things into the mansion.

It's no big deal to be a child, but it's very different to be blessed by the saint.Firstly, it proves that the noble concubine is very favored and generous, and secondly, Jia Baoyu has registered with the emperor, so the future will be the same no matter what.

Seeing that there is hope for her family's recovery, Jia Mu hurriedly went to the ancestral hall to kowtow to her ancestors.

"Old lady, King Beijing is here."
