[Quick Transmigration] The Red Chamber abused me a thousand times

After Baoyu met Zhen Baoyu that day, he began to stay behind closed doors.What he said to Mr. Tan and Jia Lian was not empty talk, but he really felt that if he couldn't be selected as a scholar this time, the crimes along the way would really be in vain.

As for whether he was selected as a scholar at the age of eight or nine, whether it will attract the attention and discussion of others is not a big deal compared with seasickness-although Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by the forest wind, but it still has to be done. What kind of show is it, isn't it?

An eight or nine-year-old scholar, it is a bit amazing to say it, but what reminds people more is whether there will be an injury to Zhong Yong.What's more, he was only born with jade in this life. Even if someone pays attention, he will think that the scholar rebelled and failed for three years.As long as he takes the two Juren examinations late, he will be evened with others.

In the early morning of February, it was still a cold and windy scene.Jia Lian took Baoyu, who also wore seven or eight layers of singles, and lined up among the students waiting for the roll call to enter the venue.Seeing that Baoyu's little face was blue from the cold, he put his kaolan on the ground and rubbed his hands for Baoyu: "Don't be afraid, answer as long as you can, and forget it if you don't, just treat it as being with me. "

Bao Yuxin said, as long as you don't be afraid, it's all right, but he still thanked him: "Second brother don't worry about me, just pick up your kaolan quickly, don't be too crowded for a while."

After listening to the conversation between the two brothers, the people around realized that the kid was not here to send someone off, but to take the exam by himself, and they all glanced at him quietly.I saw that although the child's face was a little blue, but there was no fear in his eyes, and he was eager to try, which made people have to sigh that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

The roll call had already begun, and Jia Lian and Baoyu followed the flow of people to the examination room, where fifty people lined up in a row.Baoyu looked around and knew that these were the five people who were insured with him, but unfortunately he didn't know them.Jia Lian was acquainted with these people and nodded their heads.Baoyu also followed Jia Lian and nodded wildly there.

Others looked at him as funny, and he himself felt a little amused, but he still had a stern face. When he heard his name being sung, he walked up to the middle hall to pick up the paper, found his seat number, and sat down.

Waiting for the yamen servant to come over with the examination questions on the board, Baoyu wrote down the questions, and began to draw up a pen to answer.Seeing that the other examinees did not start writing, he put down the pen again, grinding the ink, and pretending to be thinking.

But he didn't know that this series of actions of his had entered the eyes of the county magistrate and the teacher. The two looked at each other and felt that the Jia family was really embarrassing-it would be difficult for such a small child to take the exam. Give it to me, I'm afraid Rongguo Mansion's face is not good-looking, and I don't want to be a secure official.Give it a go, this kid obviously doesn't even understand the rules of the exam, what can he answer?If you win, it will be difficult to convince the public.

The county magistrate gave Jiaoyu a wink, and Jiaoyu understood it, got up calmly, and circled around the examination room.Baoyu didn't know if the other examinees were nervous, but anyway, he was quite strong in his heart, and the child's entrance exam only asked for fluent writing, so how difficult was it for him?

When Jiaoyu approached Baoyu, he was surprised to see his handwriting first.If it wasn't for Baoyu's extremely fluent writing, he would have regarded him as a person who had practiced calligraphy for many years, and had answered the papers for him in advance and brought them in.

Looking at Baoyu's writing like a tick, every word like an engraving, and Jiaoyu standing behind him from the words to the text, I feel that the child's articles are also very sophisticated, the allusions are accurate, the reasoning is clear, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The county magistrate never returned to his seat when he saw the teachings, so he walked down by himself.He didn't go around the field to put on a show like Jiaoyu, and came directly behind Baoyu.Jiaoyu realized that there was someone beside him, only to realize that it was the county magistrate who came over, and said in a low voice: "My lord, look at this son's handwriting."

The county magistrate was also a scholar. He looked at Baoyu's handwriting, then at his little face with some meat, and then at his handwriting.Unable to hold back, he asked, "At what age did you start practicing calligraphy?"

In fact, this is considered a violation.But the county magistrate really wanted to know the answer. It didn't make sense that an eight-year-old child's writing skills were not inferior to that of a person who had written for more than 30 years.

Only then did Baoyu raise his head, carefully put the pen on the pen stand, thinking about standing up and answering.The county magistrate pressed his shoulder to signal him that he didn't have to stand up. He smiled at the two of them, revealing a tooth hole that had just fallen out: "The kid started learning calligraphy when he was two years old."

Come on, this is really a boy's skill.The county magistrate no longer wants to ask, when you were two years old, you could hold a pen and your wrist could bear it.Maybe the Rongguo Mansion has some untold secrets?Didn't I see an old man who has already served in the Hanlin Academy, and now the two second masters of the two rooms are going back to Jinling to take the exam together?

Glancing at each other with Jiaoyu, the two went back to the main hall and sat down together, before Jiaoyu sighed: "No wonder you dare to take the exam at such a young age. The aristocratic family really has a well-deserved name."

The county magistrate also nodded: "I'm interested in collecting his papers. Even if this son doesn't take imperial examinations as a career, he can become a great master in the future with just this word."

Jiao Yu smiled: "I don't dare to argue with the adults, so I have to wait for the child to pay homage to the teacher in the future, and let him splash ink on it."

The magistrate said: "Did you read it just now? This is not a joke."

Jiao Yu Yile: "It's natural. If something happens, there won't be more on me."

The county magistrate just smiled when he heard this, and said nothing else, but he secretly calculated how to get on line with the two young masters of the Rongguo Mansion.But this is not a difficult task, if the two win, they must come to see their teacher.

Don't think that Jiaoyu is an upright teacher, but which of the children of the aristocratic family doesn't know that Jiaoyu can't go far in the officialdom.The one who can really get help depends on himself, the county magistrate.Thinking of this, the county magistrate secretly rejoiced. He only hoped that Jia Baoyu would be as transparent as his article, but he ignored Jia Lian.

After all five games, Jia Lian and Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief.Mr. Tan also showed his golden face after they rested for two days, and handed Jia Lian the densely memorized paper in his hand.

Jia Lian didn't know what it was at first, and his face was very calm.How can I calm down when I see what I remember on that paper?The higher-ups remembered that it was all the servants who guarded the old house, how they teamed up with the Jia family, and the Jinling county magistrate and the magistrate, to bully the good and buy the land at a low price.There are also a few cases, which are obviously related to the lawsuit, and it is difficult for Jia Lian to calm down.

"Is there any evidence for what you have found?" Jia Lian asked after a while.

Although Baoyu felt that this question was a bit redundant, he also knew that if there was no proof, the people who looked at the old house were all people Jia Mu liked in the past, and even Jia Lian could not handle it by himself.

Mr. Tan nodded: "That day you said that the slaves who showed me the old house were still in good order. I thought you were superfluous. Who knew that such things were commonplace for them. Even covering up I don't even want to cover it up. If you go to the street and ask someone, you can tell a thing or two. Even if the second master came here, for the sake of the family's reputation, it's better to deal with it earlier."

Jia Lian understood the reasoning, but he still lacked the confidence to let him deal with the first row of the old lady.Seeing his hesitation, Baoyu said to him, "Even if the old lady finds out about such a slave, she won't let her go. The second elder brother will know the old lady Lai."

Mentioning that in the Rongguo Mansion, apart from the lords and wives, the Lai family didn't think much of themselves as the second lord. Jia Lian was really moved, and said to Mr. Tan: "It's just that these slaves may even be successful. In a fit of anger. If I deal with them here, in case..."

It's not that Jia Lian is timid, it's not that this slavery harming the master has never happened before.He and Baoyu even brought less than 40 people with them, but the servants of the old house, including those who are in charge of Zhuangzi's sacrifice to the fields, have three or forty people, plus their family members, it is not mere mere Twenty or so people can handle it.

Mr. Tan smiled slightly: "Second Master found out that the slaves guarding the old house were doing a lot of crimes, and wanted to eliminate harm for the common people. This is a good thing. Even if they are lawbreakers, they should be dealt with by the government."

After hearing this, Jia Lian shook his head: "It's all mentioned above, these slaves are also connected with the government."

Mr. Tan still smiled slightly and said: "Why does the government want to associate with these slaves? Isn't it because they are slaves of the Rongguo Mansion? Now that the serious master is here, who will let the serious master not make friends, and turn to a few Minion?"

This is a sensible person.Baoyu was convinced, and looked at Jia Lian with round eyes without blinking, as if to say, no matter what you say, second brother, I will go with you.

Jia Lian made him look more rigid, and said to Mr. Tan: "It's not too late for this matter. Besides, I'm afraid that someone in the government will get wind of it. Besides, Baoyu is still young. I will leave him alone in the mansion." I'm afraid those servants will jump over the wall in a hurry."

Mr. Tan laughed and said: "It's not as serious as the second master thought. These slaves are just bullying others. Now that the government doesn't give them power, what else do they have? But just in case, the second master will go someday Find the magistrate, and I will take Baoyu out to see the scenery someday."

But Baoyu refused: "No, no, my second brother is doing such a dangerous thing, how can I abandon him. People say that brothers are of the same heart, and their profits cut gold. I can't leave my second brother alone."

Jia Lian felt comforted after hearing this, but gave him a slap in the hand: "I don't care about what it means to leave me alone. Just be yourself and let me have a confession with the old lady, the master, and the wife is better than anything else."

Baoyu wants to argue again, but Mr. Tan has already said: "Second Master Lian is right. It is humane that the son of a daughter does not sit in the court. Second Master Bao should be more cautious. Wait for Second Master Lian to settle the affairs of this house. Alright, we'll be back."

With Mr. Tan speaking, Baoyu had no choice but to acquiesce.It's just that I don't feel relieved about Jia Lian, and told him to be careful. If it doesn't work, it's better to borrow someone from the Lin family in Yangzhou before doing things.Or simply live in the magistrate's yamen first.

Jia Lian thought he was nagging, so he drove him back to his yard, and discussed with Mr. Tan what to do.Baoyu only knew that the next day, Jia Lian sent someone to send a letter to Lin Ruhai in Yangzhou, saying that two of his brothers had come to Jinling to take the exam.

A few days later, Lin Ruhai sent many people to give gifts to the two of them, saying that the two of them were heretics, and they would return to Yangzhou with the two of them after they were listed.

Then Mr. Tan took Baoyu and started wandering all over Jinling.Visit the Confucius Temple, Zijin Mountain, and Drum Tower.Every day, I just go out early and return late, and when I go back to the old house, I just sleep, and I don’t even eat in the old house.

When going out every day, Mingyan and other young servants surrounded him tightly, plus a few servants from the Lin family who came to want to open their eyes together, making it difficult for people to penetrate.This is also Mr. Tan's caution. After all, no matter how ambitious Baoyu is, he is only an eight-year-old child in the eyes of others. If there is really a courageous slave to make a move, it will be too late to regret without people around him.

Baoyu only felt that every time he went back to the old house, there were fewer servants and more faces.When the servants were almost replaced and it was time for the ranking, he remembered to ask Jia Lian: "Second brother, did the student selected by the grandfather of that school take the exam with us this time?"

Jia Lian made him laugh and cry: "Didn't you still nod and salute with others that day, why don't you remember?"

Baoyu made him feel a little embarrassed: "There were so many people that day, and I knew which was which. Besides, even when I was still in the mansion, I didn't go out much, and I didn't know who was who."

Jia Lian knew that he really didn't go out much on weekdays, and he didn't get close to anyone in the past, or else he couldn't stay at home after coming to Jinling.

However, Jia Lian was not as calm as the expression on his face, and he sent people to see the list early.Baoyu felt that there was nothing wrong with her, but she didn't know what ranking Jia Lian, who had been taught by Mr. Tan for several years, could get.

The three of them were talking one after another, and no one was distracted by what they said, they were just killing time.I don't know how long it took, but I heard a young man outside asking: "How is it, both masters have won?"

The ones who went to see the list were Jia Lian's Xing'er and Baoyu's Mingyan, and they didn't hear a reply from them, so they knew that they had got the news, and they refused to let others announce the good news first to steal the limelight.Jia Lian and Mr. Tan looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.Looking at Baoyu again, the old god was waiting for the two to come in, without even a little anxious look, and it was unclear whether he knew the key to this or the rules here.

At this time, both Xing'er and Xing'er had already entered, and they knelt down facing the three of them: "Congratulations to the second master." It was their respective masters facing each other.

When the two heard this, joy appeared on their faces.Baoyu still didn't speak, but Jia Lian asked, "Tell me, how many names are there?"

Mingyan didn't speak, and only heard Xing'er reply to Jia Lian: "If you go back to the second master, the master won the No. 15, and the second master Bao, the second master Bao won the No. 6."

Both Mr. Tan and Jia Lian stood up: "What, how much did Baoyu win?"

Xing'er's face also lost the joy of his master: "Second Master Bao won No.6."

Baoyu didn't care what rank he got, anyway, he could take the government test anyway, so he didn't have to go back home now.He had long thought that it was impossible for him to win a case or something. After all, his age was such that no matter if he was a county magistrate or a teacher, no matter how talented he was, he couldn't fall in love with it—it didn't have to make people think They want to catch up with the hot stove of Rongguo Mansion.

Even if he won the sixth place, judging from the reactions of Jia Lian and Mr. Tan, he knew that the commotion caused in Jinling City would not be small.Looking helplessly at Jia Lian, Baoyu decided to turn his hatred on others. He asked Mingyan, "Do you know if the one chosen by the grandfather in the school won and how much?"

Only then did Jia Lian remember that he had come with the expectation of Jia Amnesty, and he also looked at Mingyan.It has to be said that this Mingyan can be the number one servant in front of the original owner, and he can even inquire about such a person who can't beat him: "The master of the school chose Mr. Jia Qin from the sixth room. He passed the exam last year. I took the exam once, but unfortunately I didn’t pass it. I also took the exam this year, and I was still a security guard with the men. The younger one didn’t see Uncle Qin’s name on the list.”

No matter how tactful the words were, it was hard to hide the fact that Jia Qin failed the exam again.A smile appeared on Jia Lian's face, and he turned to salute to Mr. Tan: "Thank you for your teaching these years." Baoyu also saluted -- along the way, and in the past few days, Mr. Tan did not miss him. Worry, worthy of his gift.

Mr. Tan didn't dodge or evade, and after receiving the gift from the two, he said: "Even if the two masters have won, they should clean up and go to see the teacher. If there is anything else, let someone clean up the house." Here, set the regulations for receiving congratulatory guests."

Baoyu doesn't need to worry about these things, don't think he is higher than Jia Lian, but who made Jia Lian so much older than him, he just needs to be an obedient younger brother.So, together with Jia Lian, he visited the two teachers, and also met some of the same year who were not convinced by his ranking.

But Jiaoyu had to let Baoyu splash ink on the spot, so that these people would not be able to arouse competition just by looking at the words.Even Jia Lian has read Baoyu's calligraphy on weekdays, but he has no appreciation for it, and his own calligraphy is only average. He didn't expect Baoyu's calligraphy to be so fancy to the teacher.

When he heard that Baoyu's papers had been collected by the county magistrate, Jia Lian paid more attention to his little cousin.

I came back and talked to Mr. Tan, and Mr. Tan said to him, "I said a long time ago that compared to Mr. Zhu, your little cousin is upright, hard-tempered, and literary, and his writing is already natural. Become one. The second master himself doesn't have a brother, so it's better to get along with him."

What should Jia Lian do? He gets along with Baoyu even more.The two sent people back to the mansion early to announce the good news, and also explained the reasons why Jia Lian cleaned up the slaves in the old house these days in detail, lest there be slaves who slipped through the net and quietly complained to Jia's mother.

The news that Baoyu had passed the county examination at the young age of eight spread like wildfire in Jinling City. In addition, the praise of Baoyu's characters by the two masters made his reputation rise to a higher level. The fact that it was born with jade was also spread by well-informed people.

For a while, the old house received countless greeting cards, and many people wanted to meet this little genius.Mr. Tan was afraid that Baoyu would be fooled by these imaginary words, thinking that he was really number one in the world, so he had to let him walk with the chief of the case for a while, so as to know the truth of others.

I didn't want the chief of the case to be in his thirties, ten years older than Jia Lian. When we started dating, he wanted to get in touch with the Rongguo Mansion, but he was afraid that others would say that he was clinging to the powerful. People who have experienced such things in the world can't see it.

Looking at Baoyu again, he still talked about ancient books and local customs with people in a leisurely manner, as if he didn't know how awkward the case was.In the end, he politely sent the person to the door, asking him to come when they had a banquet at their house.

Mr. Tan said with a smile: "The first reason for this case is that the family is not well-off. Your guests came to the banquet that day, either rich or expensive, but how do you arrange the seats?"

Baoyu's conscience did not hurt at all and said: "Isn't it the second elder brother Lian's business to arrange the seats for guests? I just listen to him." Mr. Tan had nothing to say.

In fact, it was a banquet, because the masters in the old house are only young people, no matter how good those aristocratic families want to befriend them, they will not lose their status, so they only sent their children here.Zhen Baoyu of the Zhen family also came with his elder brother, but he had nothing to say when he saw Baoyu, so he let his elder brother chat with Jia Lian there.

Finally, the guests were sent away. Baoyu asked Jia Lian, "What did the second elder brother and the master of the Zhen family say about the Qinhuai River? They talked so lively. Has Mr. Tan been there?"

Jia Lian's face made him understand. When he was talking to Zhen Lang about this matter, he clearly saw that Baoyu was talking to someone else, so why did he listen?

Since passing the county examination, Jia Lian felt a little complacent.Especially since Jia Qin failed the county test, and he was allowed to go home and give Jia Amnesty an explanation, that spring heart started to sprout.Today I heard that Zhen Lang talked about the Qinhuai River so beautifully, how could he stop?Just thinking about when to go see Zhen Lang, Pian Baoyu actually asked Mr. Tan if he had been there.

Jia Lian hurriedly covered Baoyu's mouth: "Where is that place, your family should know. Shut up and don't say any more."

Baoyu showed dissatisfaction on his face: "Second elder brother told me not to have any contact with Baoyu from the Zhen family that day, why did I get so friendly with the uncle of the Zhen family today? I heard that, It turns out that some of those servants are very close to the stewards of the Zhen family. Similar to each other, it can be seen that the stewards of the Zhen family are not good. People say that things are like masters, and the stewards are like this, I am afraid they are the uncle of the Zhen family Not going anywhere."

Listening to what he said, Jia Lian couldn't help feeling dizzy.But it's hard for me to refute him, I just think about how to support him and it's over.

Before Jia Lian could think up his words, Mr. Tan had already sent the guests back. Seeing their brothers still standing in the yard, he couldn't help asking: "The two masters have been tired all day, why don't you rest?"
