[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 63

For many candidates, whether it is Qiu Wei or Chun Wei, they are tortured but entrusted with everything they have.But for Jia Lian, Chun Wei is much better than Qiu Wei.The cold weather made it difficult for some smells to spread easily, and some small animals that made Jia Lian lose his appetite during the autumn period would not come and go during this season.

Therefore, among the shivering figures in thin cotton clothes, Jia Lian's upright figure attracted the attention.After waiting for a long time and a rigorous search, Jia Lian finally stepped into the gate of the Tribute Court of the Ministry of Rites.

This time his number room was in the middle of the test shed, far away from the toilets and the carbon basins around the test shed.But to him, these things don't mean much, with a small formless skill to protect the body, this degree of severe cold is nothing to him at all.

This exam is still the same as Qiuwei, three days and two nights each time, on the ninth, twelfth and fifteenth day of February in turn.In the autumn period, some people died of heatstroke directly in the No. [-] room, and there was no shortage of people who were frozen to death in the spring period.Jia Lian couldn't help frowning when he saw the white-haired or burnt-out examinees who were dragged out by the guards and were still holding on to their pens.

This imperial examination is really like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Only 300 people can pass every three years.

Jia Lian couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he walked out of the Gongyuan after the last policy test.He never wanted to go through such a horrible exam for the second time. He really didn't know how those students who had to take it every three years persisted.

Sure enough, all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit.If it weren't for getting tickets to Yuyuelongmen, no one would take part in this imperial examination.

Jia Lian, who returned to Ronghou Mansion, took a bath and ate, lay down on the bed and did not get up until noon the next day.He didn't sleep at all during the few nights in the Gongyuan, and used meditation instead of sleep.Physical fatigue can be eliminated, but mental fatigue still needs sleep to relieve.

After Chunwei, there will be a palace examination, which is the final journey of the imperial examination. In fact, this is just a formality.Chunwei's ranking is basically the ranking of the palace examination, and there will not be much change.And if Jia Lian won the tribute again in Chunwei this time, then the number one scholar in the palace examination is almost within reach.

The first six yuan and the first after the founding of the Daqing Dynasty have far-reaching significance.

When the apricot blossoms were in full bloom, Chun Wei's list also came out.Every three years at this time, some people cry, some laugh, some go crazy, and Jia Lian has become one of them, but he is a different kind with a calm attitude.When he learned that he had become Gong Yuan, he only had a feeling that the dust had settled.

It was finally over, and his mission was basically completed.

It was the same year as the House Masters Meeting again, this time Jia Lian's attitude was more enthusiastic than last time, after all, the difference between Juren and Gongshi is not small.Juren is qualified to be an official, but the current Juren of the Daqing Dynasty wants to be an official unless they have a very deep background.

Just as everyone in Ronghou's mansion was immersed in ecstasy, when Jia She was beating his chest and feet because he was still in the filial piety period and could not feast on the guests, Jia Zhu in Jia's mansion knew the news that Jia Lian had become Gongyuan, so he spurted out a mouthful of blood and asked him to serve him. Fei Ming was quite frightened.

"Master, let this servant tell your wife to ask for a doctor. Your illness just happens to be like this. You can't do without seeing a doctor!" Little, it's not a good thing for a teenager to vomit blood.Jia Zhu was all hers, if something happened to Jia Zhu... She couldn't help shivering at the thought of Mrs. Wang's reaction.

Jia Zhu held her hand and shook her head: "Don't worry, Fei Ming. After vomiting the blood, I feel better. My wife is not in good health, so don't let her worry about me."

There are a lot of troubles in the house, so he doesn't want to add another one.

Fei Ming's beautiful almond eyes stared at Jia Zhu, the little bit of red on his bloodless lips was really shocking, but his pale cheeks were now a little more pale pink.Could it be that he really felt much better after spitting out the blood just now?

"Master, if you have any discomfort, remember to tell the servant. You are everything to the servant. If something happens to you, the servant will really not be able to survive." The pair of eyes are even more beautiful, which makes Jia Zhu's heart so soft.

He stretched out his arms to hug her, and the thinness of his hands made his brows softer: "I've worked hard on you during this time, Fei Ming."

"Slaves are not bitter, as long as the uncle is good, the slaves are willing to do anything." Fei Ming whispered emotionally in Jia Zhu's arms.

"When Feng'er passes through the door in October, I will definitely give you a title, Feiming." Jia Zhu said affectionately.

Fei Ming is shy and timid, her cheeks are flushed: "I don't know that it is a blessing from several generations of cultivation that Fei Ming can serve the uncle. Fei Ming doesn't care about her status, as long as she can stay by my uncle's side."

Jia Zhu smiled and kissed her gently, putting the news of Jia Lian's acquisition of Gong Yuan behind her.He may not be as good as Jia Lian in the imperial examination, but he is bound to win Chunwei three years later.The ranking of the imperial examination has an impact on becoming an official, but the impact will definitely not be that great.Throughout the ages, not many of the Three Tripods can become high-ranking officials and enter the cabinet.

What's more, compared to Jia Lian who has no one around now, he is much more comfortable with Fei Ming.Jia Zhu was not indifferent to Jia Lian's discussion with the daughter-in-law of Cheng En's mansion. Compared with Wang Xifeng, this Miss Mei was not indifferent.

But as soon as he remembered that most of the marriages in the scholarly family were monogamous, Jia Zhu's envy disappeared.He studied so hard, but he didn't want to end up living with a woman.If that's the case, wouldn't he miss Fei Ming who has so much affection for him!

Jia Zhu, who closed her eyes and kissed Fei Ming, failed to see the calculation and coldness in her almond eyes.She grew up beside Jia Shishi, but she learned from her mother how to grasp men's psychology.Her mother's means of making her father the only woman is naturally not small.

It is impossible for her to let Jia Zhu have only her and one woman, but at least she can try to occupy as much space in his heart as possible before the grandma in the main room enters the door.From Mrs. Wang, Fei Ming knows how difficult the young lady of the Wang family is, but since she has been placed next to Jia Zhu, she has to work hard for herself and her future child. She doesn't want to be like a parrot, just like that There was no one in the backyard.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Longxu, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, held a tea bowl and looked at Situ Yuan, who was reading the memorials on his behalf, with gratified eyes. When he put down his pen and moved his shoulders, he slowly said: "Lao Qi, I will try this year. You have read all the papers, what do you think of Jia Lian who has won five yuan in a row?"

Situ Yuan frowned slightly, and then said with a light smile: "Speaking of which, I have been with Jia Lian for a few years. He performed very well in the study at that time, but I never thought he would have such ability."

Emperor Longxu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, this Jia Lian is Lao Jiu's companion, and I issued a decree to confirm this back then. If those nobles are as promising as Jia Daishan's grandson Zhili, I don't have to think of ways to remove their military power."

"Father is so optimistic about Jia Lian?" After a pause, Situ Yuan asked.

"It's not that I'm optimistic about him, but that he's really good. He was born in a noble family, and he made great achievements in northern Xinjiang before, but he also did very well in the imperial examination." Emperor Longxu's eyes were cloudy but his eyes But still sharp, "I can't let go of such a talented Maxima, but how to use it still needs to be considered in the long run."

Situ Yuan walked up to Emperor Longxu and filled his empty teacup with tea: "Please teach me, Father."

"You're really going to take out my father's old background, Lao Qi." Emperor Longxu cursed with a smile, and then his face turned serious, "Jia Lian was born among the four kings and eight princes among the nobles, and he has martial arts but has not touched military power. Now that you are about to pass the imperial examination, how do you think other nobles will react?"

Situ Yuan pondered for a moment before opening his mouth and said, "The Ronghou Mansion will not only sever ties with other nobles, but may even turn against each other."

Emperor Longxu nodded lightly: "Old man Jia Daishan, he really worked hard for his grandson. Not only did he divide the family early, but also separated the family. Now that the Ronghou Mansion is officially transferred under Jia Lian's hands, what are some of my plans? The Ronghou Mansion must also be removed."

"If Jia Lian didn't have such ability..." Situ Yuan was originally a deep-minded person, and now he has studied with Emperor Longxu for several years, so he knows what Emperor Longxu said.

"Since it is not a talent that the imperial court needs, it naturally has to play a role in other aspects. Although the trick of killing chickens and monkeys is old, it is good to be useful." As an emperor with good reputation in all aspects, Emperor Longxu naturally would not It's a faint king, "But since he is useful now, we have to make him more useful."

"Father, the champion this time is Jia Lian?"

"He is already the five heads of state." Emperor Longxu sipped the tea in the bowl slowly, "Or the old seven, do you want to suppress him?"

His heart tightened, but Situ Yuan smiled helplessly on his face: "Father, in your heart, is this son so intolerant? Although Jia Lian is the companion of the ninth younger brother, since he has excellent ability, son will naturally Will reuse him. Not to mention his marriage with Erchen's cousin, is it possible that the father doesn't know about it?"

After carefully looking at Situ Yuan for a long while, Emperor Longxu, who finally confirmed that he was not lying, finally eased his expression: "Lao Qi, you have been wronged by me testing you like this, but I have so many sons, so I can save them in the end." Only you and Lao Jiu will come down."

"Father, fourth brother and fifth brother..." Situ Yuan was interrupted by Emperor Longxu's raised left hand.

"Lao Qi, you don't need to say much. I understand your thoughts, and I came here slowly just like you." Emperor Longxu sighed, "I once thought about letting the eldest son succeed me. The wish of several generations of emperors since the establishment of the Daqing Dynasty. It's a pity..." Thinking of the son who committed suicide in the East Palace, Emperor Longxu's face became darker, "I can't really forgive such a thing, whether as an emperor or as a father. Your eldest brother will do that, I am responsible, and so are the others."

"Lao Qi, you are blaming me for releasing the fourth and fifth children, right?"

"...My son dare not."

"It's because I dare not, not because I don't know how to do it." Emperor Longxu smiled lightly, "Old Qi, if I don't do this, after you ascend the throne, the Zhen family and those nobles from the aristocratic families will be difficult for you to deal with." .”

Situ Yuan's eyes widened at Emperor Longxu's words, and finally, tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, and he knelt down respectfully in front of Emperor Longxu, knocking his head three times.
