Jia Huan didn't care about a letter of his own, which made Mrs. Wang break something again, what Aunt Zhao thought of, and Jia Zheng wondered something. He has now entered a crazy study mode.
In addition to the time for class every day, he also arranges the rest of the time very well: get up half an hour earlier in the morning than others, spend a quarter of an hour exercising, and then spend another quarter of an hour memorizing the homework of the previous day.After that, I go to eat, always holding a book in my hand, no matter what I eat, I stare at the book, and leave when I feel full.
In the next class, Jia Huan listened very attentively. While listening, he compared what the teacher said with Lin Ruhai’s comments, and when he found some points of view that were different, he wrote them down and saved them for later in class. Mr. Sun.
After one day's class, Jia Huan is not in a hurry to finish his homework after dinner, but walks quickly around the academy for a few laps, which can be regarded as a comprehensive relaxation of body and mind.Then, if you have any questions, ask your teacher first. If you have no questions, you can complete the homework by yourself, and then practice calligraphy.
He put a lot of effort into practicing handwriting. Not only did he tie two ounces of sandbags on his wrists, but he did not practice at his desk. Instead, he pinned the paper to a wooden stand, hung the wooden stand on the wall, and hung his wrist to write.The words practiced in this way, if you write them at your desk, you will be able to penetrate the back of the paper.
The content of handwriting practice is very simple and crude, that is, copying books: Four Books and Five Classics, laws, and current texts that can be found.In short, the content of the Tongsheng Examination is what he copied.
In Qingshan Academy, a gentleman teaches only a dozen students, which is considered a small class, and the teacher can naturally see clearly who is performing in class.After half a year like this, Mr. Sun is very satisfied with Jia Huan: he has a good memory, a flexible mind, can infer other cases from one example, never dies in studying, and works hard, which is the type that every gentleman likes.So I paid more attention to Jia Huan's homework, and answered it more attentively. In view of Jia Huan's shortcomings, he asked him to practice more stereotyped essays.
This stereotyped essay is really Jia Huan's weakness.As a website, he is mostly inclusive and does not impose the format of articles on others, which has led him to be used to free expression. There are content in the scriptures and the sentences are smooth, but they often do not conform to the rules of stereotyped essays.
But this can't be changed in a day, and there is no other shortcut except more practice.So Mr. Sun began to ask Jia Huan to write a stereotyped essay for him every other day.At the beginning, Mr. Sun gave him questions, but later he only asked him to write the questions of the children's examinations in various provinces over the years.
Don't ask Mr. Sun where these questions come from: not to mention the members of the Sun family, but Mr. Sun's classmates, and there are quite a few old friends who are scattered in various places. Comment one or two, doesn't this give Mr. Sun a chance to collect?
Therefore, Jia Huan and the students of the academy became the beneficiaries.There are also other students who feel that the exam questions in other places have nothing to do with the local area, and the questions that have been tested in previous years will not be published again, so they don't pay much attention to the questions collected by Mr. Sun.But they forgot that the Four Books and Five Classics have been taken as examination subjects since the Tang Dynasty, and they have been tested for nearly a thousand years. It's just that people don't pay attention to collecting in this era.
Of course, when it was time for vacation, Jia Huan would smuggle these questions to Zhao Guoji again, so that he could practice easily.It's just that Zhao Guoji is not as fast as him, but he is trying to catch up.
Qingshan Academy will give students a day off every half a month, and let them go home once to pick up some food and clothing.It was a holiday day, and Jia Huan returned to the house he rented with Zhao Guoji.The private school that Zhao Guoji went to had the same vacation time as Qingshan Academy, so Zhao Guoji was already waiting in the yard: "Brother is back, there is a letter from the house."
letter?After Jia Huan thought about it, he realized that it was the reply to the letter he wrote to report his safety.It's really slow enough.Jia Huan smiled secretly, went into his room to wash up, and then came out to read the letter.
The letter was written by Jia Zheng. Apart from expressing his satisfaction with Jia Huan's admission to Qingshan Academy, there was nothing that could satisfy Jia Zheng.From delivering the letter late and not thinking about my parents' concerns, to saying that it was unrighteous not to wait for the two boys to go on the road together, and so on.
Fortunately, he also knew that Jia Huan had to spend money to study in the academy, and he even knew that a 200 tael silver note was attached to the letter, which made Jia Huan feel that he could criticize if he wanted to, and curse people if he wanted to. Just pay the mental damage fee directly this time.
The letter was not shown to Zhao Guoji, nor could it be shown to Zhao Guoji.Even Jia Huan, who doesn't care about face, can't calmly show others a letter that scolds him to pieces.Fortunately, Zhao Guoji didn't even think about reading it. It was a letter from Rongguo Mansion to Jia Huan. He only needed to know that Aunt Zhao was fine.
Jia Huan and Zhao Guoji still spent the next days working hard.During the period, someone from the Rongguo Mansion’s Jinling old house who looked after the house came to Jia Huan, saying that he wanted to invite him to live back, but Jia Huan refused because he was too far away from the academy.That person was Jincai, the old man of Yuanyang, who also brought a servant with him, whom he wanted to leave for Jia Huan.
Jia Huan smiled very gently at Jin Cai: "Uncle brought two servants himself, one is enough for me and him. After all, we are here to study, not to show off."
In that gentle smile, Jin Cai shuddered, and didn't dare to ask for more, so she took the servant back to the old house in despair, and then sent someone to deliver a letter to the mansion.But this back and forth, it is almost the end of the year.
Jincai, who has been instructed again, must take Jia Huan back to the old house to participate in the New Year's ancestor worship.This Jia Huan could not refuse, this was an era when the clan was powerful.But Zhao Guoji didn't have to go, the two agreed in front of Jin Cai that they would discuss their studies every two days, and if one of them didn't show up on time, the other would directly report to the official: "In order not to let people secretly plot against the unfamiliar people. "
Jin Cai has a headache all over her body!But he is just a servant in his name, how can he manage his master's academic affairs?As for the convenience of discussing studies, please invite Zhao Guoji to go back to the old house together, so as to save some chewing. Zhao Guoji said it righteously: "Since we have left the mansion, we can no longer take advantage of the mansion. Don't let people say Make irresponsible remarks. Besides, I am here, very close to my husband, and I can ask for advice directly if I have any questions."
Not taking advantage?I don't believe that you, a person who just got out of registration, can really manage two servants by yourself, and you can rent such a yard.Jin Cai thought that she would still send a letter to the mansion when she went back, and check the Zhao family carefully.
Jia Huan only took Lin Shitou back to his old house, and only called him Shitou in front of people.Shitou is an obedient person, knowing that he doesn't want people to know that he was sent by the Lin family, and he also refuses to tell others what his last name is.Those who are interested think that they were just added after the Zhao family left the mansion, maybe they were bought in the market for appearance, so they don't care.
But this stone, which everyone doesn't care about, is responsible for Jia Huan's food, clothing, housing and transportation in the old house. Even if someone offered to help, he also said that he was used to serving his master in the past year, and if he didn't do things himself, he might be sold out again. And so on.This made Jincai jump: Shitou seemingly inadvertently broke his arrangement a few times, and he couldn't complete the tasks Mrs. Wang told her, fearing that his wife would anger her children who were still in the house.
Jia Huan still completed his homework every day according to the schedule when he was in the academy.He also wrote an eight-part essay at the speed of one article in two days, and handed it to Zhao Guoji by Shitou, and then sent it to Mr. Sun by Zhao Guoji.
In this way, Jincai didn't dare to use any obvious means. He just had someone stop the stone once, so that he couldn't send out his homework in the morning. In the afternoon, Mr. Sun asked his servants to ask in person if Jia Ring sick, or slack off on vacation?The servant heard that Jia Huan was not ill, so he handed in Mr. Sun's homework for punishing Jia Huan, saying that he would collect the homework himself in the future.
Although Jin Cai is just a visitor to the old house, she also winks. She has heard about Qingshan Academy, but knows that this Mr. Sun has an uncle who is an official in Beijing, and everyone in Jinling City gives him three points. face.I am just a small slave, how can I have the courage and ability to challenge others.
In this way, after one annual leave, although Jia Huan also ate cold meals a few times and heard gossip with ulterior motives a few times, the overall situation was fairly stable and he did not suffer from any illness.After the Zhengyuan Festival, it can be regarded as the end of the New Year. Jia Huan took the stone and went back to the rented house without looking back, stamping Jincai so anxiously that he couldn't help it.
Because the county examination is held in February every year, Mr. Sun paid more attention to Jia Huan's schoolwork.Fortunately, he found that Jia Huan's studies not only did not fall behind, but also made some progress, even if it was a holiday, so he was relieved to let him try it out - if his studies were too poor, he would end up ruining the reputation of Qingshan Academy, wouldn't he? would agree.
Zhao Guoji also had to end.Because the Zhao family was the son of Rongguo Mansion, their original place of origin also entered Jinling after leaving their nationality, so they went back to Jinling with Jia Huan to take the exam.However, Mr. Sun has also read a few articles by Zhao Guoji, and feels that it is still not ready.But that is not a disciple of Qingshan Academy, and he will not stop it.
Jia Huan still gave Zhao Guoji a good vaccination against Zhao Guoji's fate: "Uncle, after all, your study time is short. This time, it is only to gain experience. It is best if you have passed it. If you know what to test, you can take the test next year."
Zhao Guoji nodded and said: "I know how well I have learned. But I have been studying for a year, and I want to see where I am left."
Jia Huan saw that what Zhao Guoji said was from his heart, even if he lost his younger brother, he shouldn't be too shocked, so he felt relieved and prepared for himself.
The Tongsheng examination is divided into county examination, government examination, and college examination. The county examination is the first to be taken.The content of the county examination is hard or hard, but easy is not easy. For Jia Huan, the difficulty lies in poetry and prose.He has a core for making websites, and he is born with less aura and more rigidity.And poetry, really need some aura.Mr. Sun also realized his shortcomings, but writing poetry is not writing stereotyped essays. You can gain aura with practice.
Even for Jia Huan's poems, there is no problem with allusions, and there is no problem with mediocrity, but the highest evaluation can only be mediocre.But Jia Huan can think about it, he doesn't ask for a good ranking so as not to attract someone's attention, as long as he can get by and not be wiped out on the spot.
Once in February, the students of Qingshan Academy who took this year's exam went home again on vacation.Jin Cai also personally came to pick Jia Huan back to the old house early - if he, the manager of the old house, didn't show up, the servants below might not be able to invite the third master who is now very upright.
Jia Huan also had no intention of embarrassing Jincai, who told him that it would not be long before the manager of the old house should go, and it is not worthwhile to have trouble with a dying person.Zhao Guoji and Lin Sheng were also accompanying him, because Zhao Guoji was also going to take the exam, and Jin Cai kindly wanted to invite him last time, so this time it was hard not to let them pass the house.
"Third Master, these are the clothes prepared by the mansion for the third master. It's still February weather, the third master must wear thicker clothes. I heard that the room number one has only one single wall, and it's very cold." Jin Cai smiled all over her face. He sent some clothes to Jia Huan.
Jia Huan didn't even look at the clothes, just smiled and said to Jin Cai: "Thank you for your trouble." Then he asked Shi Shi to reward Jin Cai with copper coins.Looking at the bounty money in his hand, Jin Cai was disgusted enough: his majestic old house manager was rewarded with copper coins like a servant, can he not be disgusted?
It's just that there is a distinction between master and servant in terms of title, and Jia Huan doesn't expect to get anything from him, so he doesn't care about his mood.Now that he accepts Jin Cai's "carefully" prepared clothes instead of throwing them on Jin Cai's face, he is already looking at his dying face.
The clothes really put a lot of thought into it, if Jia Huan hadn’t told him in the imperial examination papers that students were not allowed to wear interlayer clothes in all imperial examinations, so as not to get caught and entrained, it would have really been Jincai’s wholehearted effort to not let the clothes go. Master is freezing.Look at these clothes, the material is good, and the cotton is also thick, but it is a pity that they should not be worn into the number room.
If Jia Huan really wore this, he might not even be able to walk through the door of the examination room, and he would have to take the examination within three years.It seems that Director Jin has been instructed by an expert again, but he doesn't know who this expert is.
But tomorrow is the exam, Jia Huan just let Jincai go to work on him if there is nothing to do, and he wants to rest earlier.Jin Cai, who originally wanted to pull Jia Huan to say a few more words, had no choice but to leave the courtyard where Jia Huan lived.
"Boss, do you think this brother Huan can wear this dress?" the servant who followed Jin Cai asked uncertainly, knowing that this brother Huan was guarding against them, it was almost on the surface.
Jin Cai snorted coldly: "Even if he doesn't wear it tomorrow, as long as he touches the clothes, he won't be able to enter the examination room." The servant wanted to ask again, but Jin Cai stared at him and shut his mouth.
On the other hand, Jia Huan asked Shitou to find a piece of cloth to wrap up the clothes. Shitou couldn't understand: "Even if these clothes are not suitable for the examination room, the third master can use them on weekdays. Why don't they just put them outside? Save time and trouble.”
However, Jia Huan was worried about Jin Cai who suddenly offered her courtesy. The things he brought, let alone himself, were not allowed to touch the stones.
Facts proved that Jia Huan's suspicion was not without reason. When it was time to enter the examination room the next day, Shitou couldn't get up on the kang.Naturally, Jia Huan couldn't see what was wrong with him, so he had to ask Lin Sheng to invite a doctor, and he and Zhao Guoji went to take the exam together.
Not to mention how Jia Huan entered the examination room and how to answer the questions.He only said that Jin Cai heard that Jia Huan passed the examination room smoothly, and that it was his servant who got sick, how could he not know that he had missed again?He wanted to take back the clothes he had sent while Jia Huan was away, but Lin Sheng couldn't take a single step to leave, leaving him nowhere to start.
Fortunately, the medicine was only debilitating, not fatal.By the time Jia Huan and Zhao Guoji returned home after their exams, the stone was almost healed.Jin Cai welcomed Jia Huan and the two into the mansion, and said, "Third Master's servant is already on the mend, it took a lot of effort to invite a doctor and take medicine these few days."
Jia Huan only snorted out of his nose, and he accepted it. He just walked towards his own yard without even looking at Jin Cai.Jin Cai saw that Jia Huan was not wearing the clothes she sent, and she felt a little uncomfortable, so she had to watch Jia Huan go away.
"Go, watch in Brother Shanghuan's yard and take back those clothes." Jin Cai ordered his servant to follow.The boy was bitter, if he could take it back, he would have taken it back a few days ago when Brother Huan was away, so why wait until now?The master is back, so there is no reason for a servant of his own to go to the yard to get things.
But the person in front of him was the manager, and he had to listen.After a while, the boy came to report: "Brother Huan's courtyard door is tightly closed, and when he called the door, he only said that he was tired from the exam and was resting. The little one didn't even go in."
The boy couldn't get in, and Jin Cai couldn't do anything, so he kicked him twice to relieve his anger.Just before the development office, the person at the door came to report: "Director, the elder brother of the yamen servant of Yingtianfu is here."
Jin Cai wondered: "Didn't I take care of everything a year ago, why did you come to the door again?" The person at the door didn't know, Jin Cai had to go to the concierge once.
The yamen servants who came were also old acquaintances. After all, although the Rongguo Mansion lived in Beijing, there were still some clansmen in Jinling, and they had to deal with these people every year.As the director of the old house, Jin Cai has a good relationship with these people.Acquaintances are easy to handle, so Jincai knew that as soon as Jia Huan left the examination room, he went to Yingtian Mansion to sue the servants of this old house for enslaving the master.
"How do you say that?" Jin Cai laughed at the visitor: "Old buddies have also seen it. Our third master has just returned from taking the exam. If someone really murders the master, can the third master pass the exam?"
The yamen servant also smiled and said: "It is reasonable. But the third master of your mansion told the adults that it was his boy who saved him from disaster. And that boy is really sick, so he really invited a doctor of."
It was only then that Jin Cai discovered the loopholes in her handling of affairs. She was only relying on her friendship with the magistrate, so she refused to show any emotion on her face: "The boy is just a little weaker. Our family has always been kind to the next, so we found him Doctors ask for medicine. I think our third master misunderstood."
Just as he was talking, Mr. Sun called the boy over again, saying that Mr. Sun wanted to read Jia Huan's exam papers.The yamen servants are also familiar with Mr. Sun - the son of their magistrate is also studying in Qingshan Academy.
The servant of the Sun family saw that there was a yamen servant here, so he had to ask a question. The yamen servant answered with the truth, and the servant of the Sun family said: "There is such a ruthless person, I'd better go back to the mansion and tell the master. We Mister thinks highly of the third master in the house, so he will definitely not let the third master suffer this loss. The yamen servant is busy first, maybe our husband has to pay a visit to the magistrate." After finishing speaking, he walked away without a trace.
Jin Cai called out to the servant twice, but failed to stop him, so she had to smile wryly at the yamen servant.The yamen servant reminded him: "Boss Jin, Mr. Sun still has some face with the magistrate, you have to think about it."
What I think about is nothing more than how to clean myself up on this matter.Those yamen servants chatted with Jincai for a while, they understood the situation, and went back to the yamen to report the situation to the magistrate.
Jia Huan didn't think that he would be able to bring down Jincai, which had been operating in Jinling for many years, at once, but this old thing is really Mrs. Wang's good dog, and Jia Huan didn't mind making things difficult for him.With this filing with the magistrate, if Jia Huan has any headaches in the old house, Jin Cai will be the first suspect.
Jin Cai naturally understood that Jia Huan couldn't move now.Not only can't move, but he has to serve him with delicious food and drink, and he has to prevent himself from getting sick, so he has to be extra careful about Jia Huan's diet every day.
In a few days, the results of the county examination came out. Not only Jia Huan was at the top, but Zhao Guoji also passed the county examination, but his results were at the bottom.But this has already satisfied Zhao Guoji: "Huan'er, have you seen that I can do it, I really can do it."
Jia Huan looked at the excited Zhao Guoji, and was also happy for him: "Congratulations, uncle. Uncle has passed the county examination, are you going to take the government examination?"
Zhao Guoji nodded naturally: "Of course I will participate. You didn't say it before, just pretend that you know what to test."
So the two devoted themselves to studying again, and took the government examination in April.But this time Zhao Guoji was not so lucky, he failed the government examination.Jia Huan did pass, but his grades were a bit worse than those in the county examination.
From the second day when he knew that he had failed the government examination, Zhao Guoji went back to his private school to study again, and Jia Huan also returned to Qingshan Academy.Mr. Sun is quite satisfied with Jia Huan's results. After all, his age is right there, and his family is not from a scholarly family, so it is fair to say that he can achieve such results.
But with such a result, he was not sure if he had to take the hospital examination, so Jia Huan was once again surrounded by Mr. Sun's advanced question sea tactics, and there was no room for resistance.
Fortunately, Jia Huan didn't want to resist either. He knew very well that this was his only chance before the Rongguo Mansion ransacked his house.If it is done, the crime of ransacking the house may be lighter. If not, Mrs. Wang will not allow him to take advantage of the loophole again and go back to Jinling for scientific research.
At the beginning of the twice-three-year hospital examination, I hadn't seen Jia Huan's Jincai for nearly half a year, and I breathed a sigh of relief: Because of the long-term pressure on the body and hard study, and it was time for the body to grow, Jia Huan Huan seemed to have lost more than a circle of weight, his head was extraordinarily big, his body was extraordinarily slender, and he stood there with long arms and long legs, making one wonder if the wind would blow the person in front of him off.
With such a body, he might not be able to pass the examination room, and even if he leaves the examination room, he will suffer a serious illness.So when Jia Huan was carried back to her yard by the stone after the exam, Jin Cai felt extremely happy.
But he was not happy for long, because Jia Huan looked thin, but his body was still strong, and after sleeping for two days, he was a little relieved. When the results came out, Jia Huan, who became a scholar, was already able Go out to visit the teacher, it will be the same year.
Jin Cai looked at Jia Huan who was alive and kicking, no matter how unwilling she was, she had to prepare gifts for him everywhere—now Jia Huan was no longer the young boy who was studying a year ago, but a scholar.With this level of status, the master must have valued him a lot, and the wife has to listen to the master even if she can cover the sky with one hand in the inner house.What's more, there is still an old lady in the mansion, it is far from the point where Mrs. Wang can cover the sky with one hand.
Jia Huan didn't care about Jin Cai's attitude, now he started to pack his luggage and prepare to return to Beijing.That's right, Jia Huan didn't plan to take the provincial examination. First, because of his current level, he had no confidence in taking the provincial examination.Secondly, so what if he wins Juren?In the future, if the Rongguo Mansion is copied, it will not mean that they will be dismissed.Juren is fame, and being a scholar is also fame. The abolition of fame can offset part of the crime, and fame is enough.
Jia Huan, who didn't intend to do useless work, packed his luggage early and asked Shi Shi to book a boat.After confirming the date of the trip, saying goodbye to her husband and the same year, Jia Huan, who got on the boat again, did not have the slightest expectation for returning to Rongguo Mansion after leaving for two years.
Because Zhao Guoji intends to continue his studies in Jinling—he has already entrusted Mr. Sun to Qingshan Academy, and he must have achieved the fame of a scholar in another year, so he doesn't want to waste time on the road.So this time, only Shitou accompanied Jia Huan back to Beijing.
Speechless all the way.
Jia Huan, who appeared in front of the door of the Rongguo Mansion, was dark and thin, and had grown a bit taller.If he hadn't called out the names of several sects himself, those people would have almost refused to let him enter the mansion.Looking at the disciples who hadn't seen him for two years and who had become quite arrogant, Jia Huan knew that the day when Rongguo Mansion would be raided was getting closer.
"Greetings to the old lady, the grandson didn't do his filial piety in front of the old lady, which made the old lady worry about it." Jia Huan was allowed to enter the Rongqing hall this time, and was received by the old lady.He said things that he didn't even believe, but on his face he still acted envious.
The old lady was in a good mood today, and said with a smile: "My good boy, you have also suffered in the past two years. You have been selected as a scholar at a young age. It is not in vain that I have taken care of you for two years."
Jia Huan thanked the old lady again, and after receiving the seat, he pretended to be a wooden man there, answering briefly when asked, and looking at the flowers on the teacup if he didn't ask.
If it weren't for Jia Huan's selection of a scholar this time, the old lady wouldn't even give him a wink.But even if this child is selected as a scholar, he still can't get on the stage, and he can't even say a word of humor.This also made the old lady feel disappointed.So the old man waved her hand: "You are also tired on the road, go back and rest."
Jia Huan withdrew, so naturally he couldn't go back to his and Aunt Zhao's small courtyard directly, because Jia Zheng hadn't left the office yet, so he had to go to Mrs. Wang to pay her respects.As for the old lady, Jia Huan still showed admiration, but in front of Mrs. Wang, he became paralyzed.The two of them are about to die, and if they act like mothers are loving and filial, they will not be able to deceive themselves, let alone others.
Mrs. Wang was worried that Jia Zheng would look at this concubine differently now, so she couldn't make it harder for him, so she just slapped Jia Huan and let him go.After leaving the Rongxi Hall, Jia Huan still looked back at the high-hanging plaque, it was just a room, why would these people fight like black-eyed chickens?
Aunt Zhao's courtyard was close in front of her eyes, Jia Huan slowed down her pace, he had been away for two years, even if he had letters to the mansion, a person like Jia Zheng would not mention Aunt Zhao in his letters.It was still in the letter from the Zhao family to Zhao Guoji that Aunt Zhao was still living her life as usual.
Jia Huan also figured out what it means to be as usual: it's just that Mrs. Wang is still making noise from time to time, or being arranged by the servants of the house.But now Aunt Zhao could be seen standing outside the courtyard waiting for him from a distance, Jia Huan couldn't help but quicken her pace, with tears in her eyes: "Auntie."
Hearing his call, Aunt Zhao also took two steps forward, shedding tears and scolding: "You are cruel, you have been away for such a long time, and you don't care if people miss you or not. Why are you so cruel?" Already broke down in tears.
Jia Huan knelt down on the road and kowtowed to Aunt Zhao: "I made Auntie think about it, it's Huan'er's fault."
"Get up, get up." Aunt Zhao didn't care to wipe her tears, she pulled Jia Huan to get up.The mother and son entered the house, and Aunt Zhao had already asked Xiao Jixiang to fetch water and food.Jia Huan didn't see Xiao Que, so he asked curiously, "Why is there only Xiao Jixiang serving?"
Aunt Zhao curled her lips and said, "It's not our Second Mistress Lian who said that the family was having a hard time, so she cut off Aunt Zhou's and I's girls. She just picked people like us and didn't see her in the wife's room." Who was laid off?"
Is it time for Yin to eat Maoliang?Facing the original book, Jia Huan knew that his judgment was correct.The current Rongguo Mansion should have reached a precarious moment.As a talented person, I really did the exam in time.
Jia Huan persuaded Aunt Zhao with a smile, "It's fine if she gets laid off, but that girl makes people uncomfortable in this yard. Now I don't need Auntie to do it herself, so it's easy."
Even though Aunt Zhao was upset, she was still happy that her son, whom she hadn't seen for two years, came back, so she put it aside and said goodbye to Jia Huan: "You don't know, the mansion has been lively these two years... ..."
So Jia Huan knew that he had missed the most exciting Grand View Garden, Jia Lian's stealthy marriage to Second Sister You, the copying of Grand View Garden, and Yuanchun finger marriage.But Jia Huan didn't care about these things, he only asked Aunt Zhao: "Your Majesty suggested marriage to Brother Bao, where is Sister Lin?"
Aunt Zhao said with some disdain: "I heard that my mother pointed out the marriage, and the Li family took Miss Lin to live there. It was said to be a short stay, but all the things of the Lin family were packed away in the house. The old lady wanted to stop her , but people from the Li family said that Baoyu was engaged and was still living in the garden, which would give Miss Lin a bad name. But now that Baoyu's jade is gone, the old lady and the wife dare not move him, so they had to let Miss Lin gone."
Fortunately, this Li family is really willing to stand up for Daiyu.Thinking about coming to Li's house, no matter how sad Daiyu is, she should stand on her own after seeing the true face of Rongguo Mansion.What can't be broken can't be built, which is the current situation of Daiyu.
"What about the second sister?" Jia Huan asked the person she cared about again.
Aunt Zhao said: "I heard it's not very good. The mansion also sent people to send things, saying that the second girl can't touch them at all."
Jia Huan could only remain silent.He still knew about Yingchun, if someone pointed it at the side, maybe he could still stand up, but in this life. . .Alas, it is hard to save a man if he cannot stand on his own.He could only say: "Tomorrow, I'll go to see my second sister. I haven't been back for such a long time, so I should also visit my brother-in-law."
Aunt Zhao heard that he cared about this and that, but she didn't ask her own sister, so she couldn't help being a little angry: "Why don't you see your third sister, but you care about others in the two lives."
"Third Sister? Auntie, let me tell you, during the two years I was away, Third Sister had a few words with Auntie, but did you come to visit Auntie?" Jia Huan asked firmly.
Aunt Zhao just choked, she couldn't lie to herself and say she had done something that Tanchun hadn't done.Jia Huan sneered and said, "Third sister is far away from my aunt, and I'm afraid that she and her wife are deeply in love with each other now. She is living well, so why should I care about my younger brother who she doesn't like?"
For a moment the room fell silent.Fortunately, it's time for dinner, no one in this mansion thinks that Jia Huan will come back, he should catch up with him, or he should use it with Aunt Zhao.Because Aunt Zhao made Jia Huan unhappy, he picked up Zhao Guoji's academic progress and told Aunt Zhao about passing the county examination, which gradually made Aunt Zhao calm down.
But Tanchun said that she knew that Jia Huan had returned home today, thinking that she hadn't seen him for two years, Jia Huan was already a scholar, and when he came to see her later, she didn't have to treat him like a child.Let the waiter look at it again, and then ask someone to prepare snacks and tea, just waiting for Jia Huan to visit her.
Who would have thought that Jia Huan would still not come when the dessert was cold and the tea was cold. "Get out." Tan Chun lazily told the girl.
Knowing that she was depressed, the waiter persuaded: "Brother Huan traveled all the way, I think he is tired. Why don't you go visit him."
Tanchun said coldly: "I'm a sister, so there's no reason to go to him." In his heart, he even thought that Jia Huan had won the prize of a scholar, and he didn't make much progress.The waiter couldn't persuade me anymore, so I had to arrange for someone to prepare a meal, and the waiter Tanchun spent some of it carelessly.
After inquiring again the next day, Jia Huan had already left the house. Hearing that he was going to see the second girl, Tanchun was even more angry: he didn't even leave a trace of his own sister, but he was considerate to others.He wanted to go to Aunt Zhao's place, but he never went there on weekdays, so he let it go as if he didn't want others to look at him for power.
Jia Huan doesn't know that Tanchun was waiting for him yesterday, and now he is relatively speechless with Yingchun.The young woman in front of her was not the third young lady with a happy face that she was familiar with in her previous life, but a lifeless woman with dull eyes.
"Second sister should also take care of herself." Jia Huan persuaded weakly.
Yingchun smiled dryly: "It's just a matter of life. Please think about it and come to visit me specially. It's just that you don't need to come again next time. Even if we meet, it's just a little more sad."
Even if you really look away, it's not good to tell a person who came to see you with good intentions like this, right?Jia Huan felt that it was because the masters of Rongguo Mansion had heard Yingchun talk like this before, so none of them really stood up for Yingchun.It is true that the Rongguo Mansion is indifferent and there are many people who can't afford it early, but Yingchun herself has given up, how long can others stand for her?
After all, she was protected in the previous life, Jia Huan still quietly stuffed the note with the address of Taohua Hutong to Yingchun: "Second sister has something that I can't tell the mansion, and I don't want to tell the mansion, You can go to this place. You know the people there."
Yingchun finally had some light in his eyes, and he pinched the note tightly, as if he was pinching his own life.Jia Huan still didn't see Zhongshan wolf, so he had to ask Yingchun to send his greetings before saying goodbye to Yingchun.
After leaving the Sun's residence, Jia Huan let out a sigh of relief. The mansion was oppressive for no reason, and it seemed that the breath was uneven there.Seeing that it was still early, Jia Huan went to Li's mansion again.But whether the Li family will let him in, whether they can let him see Daiyu, is hard to say.
Even though he knew that there was little hope, Jia Huan still went to the gate of Li's residence to ask for an audience.Because he was still young and didn't have a post in his hand, even if the family members of Li's house were not as arrogant as Rongguo's house, they didn't intend to inform him.Jia Huan didn't talk too much, if he didn't let him see him, he wouldn't let him see him, because his family was sorry for him.
"Jia Huan?" Li Shilang was coming out of the side door, and when he saw Jia Huan who was about to leave in dejection, he called out uncertainly. It is true that this child has changed a lot in the past two years. If Li Shilang hadn't been too impressed with him Deep, I dare not admit it.
When Jia Huan saw Li Shilang, he hurriedly called: "Master Li, I'll come and see Sister Lin." Li Shilang nodded.Said to the door: "Go to the second door and say, Jia Huan from Rongguo Mansion has come to see the eldest lady." The door hurriedly responded.
miss?Jia Huan was unfamiliar with this title.Li Shilang saw his doubts and said: "I had a relationship with Ru Hai, and now he only has such a trace of blood left, and he is being bullied like this. Since those relatives are unreliable, then I think that the righteous daughter is no longer It's better to rely on those relatives."
Even though Jia Huan was not included in Li Shilang's relatives who bullied Daiyu, his face was still flushed—he still lives in Rongguo Mansion, so he can be regarded as a member of Rongguo Mansion.
Seeing that Jia Huan's face was flushed, Li Shilang realized that the person he was angry with
In addition to the time for class every day, he also arranges the rest of the time very well: get up half an hour earlier in the morning than others, spend a quarter of an hour exercising, and then spend another quarter of an hour memorizing the homework of the previous day.After that, I go to eat, always holding a book in my hand, no matter what I eat, I stare at the book, and leave when I feel full.
In the next class, Jia Huan listened very attentively. While listening, he compared what the teacher said with Lin Ruhai’s comments, and when he found some points of view that were different, he wrote them down and saved them for later in class. Mr. Sun.
After one day's class, Jia Huan is not in a hurry to finish his homework after dinner, but walks quickly around the academy for a few laps, which can be regarded as a comprehensive relaxation of body and mind.Then, if you have any questions, ask your teacher first. If you have no questions, you can complete the homework by yourself, and then practice calligraphy.
He put a lot of effort into practicing handwriting. Not only did he tie two ounces of sandbags on his wrists, but he did not practice at his desk. Instead, he pinned the paper to a wooden stand, hung the wooden stand on the wall, and hung his wrist to write.The words practiced in this way, if you write them at your desk, you will be able to penetrate the back of the paper.
The content of handwriting practice is very simple and crude, that is, copying books: Four Books and Five Classics, laws, and current texts that can be found.In short, the content of the Tongsheng Examination is what he copied.
In Qingshan Academy, a gentleman teaches only a dozen students, which is considered a small class, and the teacher can naturally see clearly who is performing in class.After half a year like this, Mr. Sun is very satisfied with Jia Huan: he has a good memory, a flexible mind, can infer other cases from one example, never dies in studying, and works hard, which is the type that every gentleman likes.So I paid more attention to Jia Huan's homework, and answered it more attentively. In view of Jia Huan's shortcomings, he asked him to practice more stereotyped essays.
This stereotyped essay is really Jia Huan's weakness.As a website, he is mostly inclusive and does not impose the format of articles on others, which has led him to be used to free expression. There are content in the scriptures and the sentences are smooth, but they often do not conform to the rules of stereotyped essays.
But this can't be changed in a day, and there is no other shortcut except more practice.So Mr. Sun began to ask Jia Huan to write a stereotyped essay for him every other day.At the beginning, Mr. Sun gave him questions, but later he only asked him to write the questions of the children's examinations in various provinces over the years.
Don't ask Mr. Sun where these questions come from: not to mention the members of the Sun family, but Mr. Sun's classmates, and there are quite a few old friends who are scattered in various places. Comment one or two, doesn't this give Mr. Sun a chance to collect?
Therefore, Jia Huan and the students of the academy became the beneficiaries.There are also other students who feel that the exam questions in other places have nothing to do with the local area, and the questions that have been tested in previous years will not be published again, so they don't pay much attention to the questions collected by Mr. Sun.But they forgot that the Four Books and Five Classics have been taken as examination subjects since the Tang Dynasty, and they have been tested for nearly a thousand years. It's just that people don't pay attention to collecting in this era.
Of course, when it was time for vacation, Jia Huan would smuggle these questions to Zhao Guoji again, so that he could practice easily.It's just that Zhao Guoji is not as fast as him, but he is trying to catch up.
Qingshan Academy will give students a day off every half a month, and let them go home once to pick up some food and clothing.It was a holiday day, and Jia Huan returned to the house he rented with Zhao Guoji.The private school that Zhao Guoji went to had the same vacation time as Qingshan Academy, so Zhao Guoji was already waiting in the yard: "Brother is back, there is a letter from the house."
letter?After Jia Huan thought about it, he realized that it was the reply to the letter he wrote to report his safety.It's really slow enough.Jia Huan smiled secretly, went into his room to wash up, and then came out to read the letter.
The letter was written by Jia Zheng. Apart from expressing his satisfaction with Jia Huan's admission to Qingshan Academy, there was nothing that could satisfy Jia Zheng.From delivering the letter late and not thinking about my parents' concerns, to saying that it was unrighteous not to wait for the two boys to go on the road together, and so on.
Fortunately, he also knew that Jia Huan had to spend money to study in the academy, and he even knew that a 200 tael silver note was attached to the letter, which made Jia Huan feel that he could criticize if he wanted to, and curse people if he wanted to. Just pay the mental damage fee directly this time.
The letter was not shown to Zhao Guoji, nor could it be shown to Zhao Guoji.Even Jia Huan, who doesn't care about face, can't calmly show others a letter that scolds him to pieces.Fortunately, Zhao Guoji didn't even think about reading it. It was a letter from Rongguo Mansion to Jia Huan. He only needed to know that Aunt Zhao was fine.
Jia Huan and Zhao Guoji still spent the next days working hard.During the period, someone from the Rongguo Mansion’s Jinling old house who looked after the house came to Jia Huan, saying that he wanted to invite him to live back, but Jia Huan refused because he was too far away from the academy.That person was Jincai, the old man of Yuanyang, who also brought a servant with him, whom he wanted to leave for Jia Huan.
Jia Huan smiled very gently at Jin Cai: "Uncle brought two servants himself, one is enough for me and him. After all, we are here to study, not to show off."
In that gentle smile, Jin Cai shuddered, and didn't dare to ask for more, so she took the servant back to the old house in despair, and then sent someone to deliver a letter to the mansion.But this back and forth, it is almost the end of the year.
Jincai, who has been instructed again, must take Jia Huan back to the old house to participate in the New Year's ancestor worship.This Jia Huan could not refuse, this was an era when the clan was powerful.But Zhao Guoji didn't have to go, the two agreed in front of Jin Cai that they would discuss their studies every two days, and if one of them didn't show up on time, the other would directly report to the official: "In order not to let people secretly plot against the unfamiliar people. "
Jin Cai has a headache all over her body!But he is just a servant in his name, how can he manage his master's academic affairs?As for the convenience of discussing studies, please invite Zhao Guoji to go back to the old house together, so as to save some chewing. Zhao Guoji said it righteously: "Since we have left the mansion, we can no longer take advantage of the mansion. Don't let people say Make irresponsible remarks. Besides, I am here, very close to my husband, and I can ask for advice directly if I have any questions."
Not taking advantage?I don't believe that you, a person who just got out of registration, can really manage two servants by yourself, and you can rent such a yard.Jin Cai thought that she would still send a letter to the mansion when she went back, and check the Zhao family carefully.
Jia Huan only took Lin Shitou back to his old house, and only called him Shitou in front of people.Shitou is an obedient person, knowing that he doesn't want people to know that he was sent by the Lin family, and he also refuses to tell others what his last name is.Those who are interested think that they were just added after the Zhao family left the mansion, maybe they were bought in the market for appearance, so they don't care.
But this stone, which everyone doesn't care about, is responsible for Jia Huan's food, clothing, housing and transportation in the old house. Even if someone offered to help, he also said that he was used to serving his master in the past year, and if he didn't do things himself, he might be sold out again. And so on.This made Jincai jump: Shitou seemingly inadvertently broke his arrangement a few times, and he couldn't complete the tasks Mrs. Wang told her, fearing that his wife would anger her children who were still in the house.
Jia Huan still completed his homework every day according to the schedule when he was in the academy.He also wrote an eight-part essay at the speed of one article in two days, and handed it to Zhao Guoji by Shitou, and then sent it to Mr. Sun by Zhao Guoji.
In this way, Jincai didn't dare to use any obvious means. He just had someone stop the stone once, so that he couldn't send out his homework in the morning. In the afternoon, Mr. Sun asked his servants to ask in person if Jia Ring sick, or slack off on vacation?The servant heard that Jia Huan was not ill, so he handed in Mr. Sun's homework for punishing Jia Huan, saying that he would collect the homework himself in the future.
Although Jin Cai is just a visitor to the old house, she also winks. She has heard about Qingshan Academy, but knows that this Mr. Sun has an uncle who is an official in Beijing, and everyone in Jinling City gives him three points. face.I am just a small slave, how can I have the courage and ability to challenge others.
In this way, after one annual leave, although Jia Huan also ate cold meals a few times and heard gossip with ulterior motives a few times, the overall situation was fairly stable and he did not suffer from any illness.After the Zhengyuan Festival, it can be regarded as the end of the New Year. Jia Huan took the stone and went back to the rented house without looking back, stamping Jincai so anxiously that he couldn't help it.
Because the county examination is held in February every year, Mr. Sun paid more attention to Jia Huan's schoolwork.Fortunately, he found that Jia Huan's studies not only did not fall behind, but also made some progress, even if it was a holiday, so he was relieved to let him try it out - if his studies were too poor, he would end up ruining the reputation of Qingshan Academy, wouldn't he? would agree.
Zhao Guoji also had to end.Because the Zhao family was the son of Rongguo Mansion, their original place of origin also entered Jinling after leaving their nationality, so they went back to Jinling with Jia Huan to take the exam.However, Mr. Sun has also read a few articles by Zhao Guoji, and feels that it is still not ready.But that is not a disciple of Qingshan Academy, and he will not stop it.
Jia Huan still gave Zhao Guoji a good vaccination against Zhao Guoji's fate: "Uncle, after all, your study time is short. This time, it is only to gain experience. It is best if you have passed it. If you know what to test, you can take the test next year."
Zhao Guoji nodded and said: "I know how well I have learned. But I have been studying for a year, and I want to see where I am left."
Jia Huan saw that what Zhao Guoji said was from his heart, even if he lost his younger brother, he shouldn't be too shocked, so he felt relieved and prepared for himself.
The Tongsheng examination is divided into county examination, government examination, and college examination. The county examination is the first to be taken.The content of the county examination is hard or hard, but easy is not easy. For Jia Huan, the difficulty lies in poetry and prose.He has a core for making websites, and he is born with less aura and more rigidity.And poetry, really need some aura.Mr. Sun also realized his shortcomings, but writing poetry is not writing stereotyped essays. You can gain aura with practice.
Even for Jia Huan's poems, there is no problem with allusions, and there is no problem with mediocrity, but the highest evaluation can only be mediocre.But Jia Huan can think about it, he doesn't ask for a good ranking so as not to attract someone's attention, as long as he can get by and not be wiped out on the spot.
Once in February, the students of Qingshan Academy who took this year's exam went home again on vacation.Jin Cai also personally came to pick Jia Huan back to the old house early - if he, the manager of the old house, didn't show up, the servants below might not be able to invite the third master who is now very upright.
Jia Huan also had no intention of embarrassing Jincai, who told him that it would not be long before the manager of the old house should go, and it is not worthwhile to have trouble with a dying person.Zhao Guoji and Lin Sheng were also accompanying him, because Zhao Guoji was also going to take the exam, and Jin Cai kindly wanted to invite him last time, so this time it was hard not to let them pass the house.
"Third Master, these are the clothes prepared by the mansion for the third master. It's still February weather, the third master must wear thicker clothes. I heard that the room number one has only one single wall, and it's very cold." Jin Cai smiled all over her face. He sent some clothes to Jia Huan.
Jia Huan didn't even look at the clothes, just smiled and said to Jin Cai: "Thank you for your trouble." Then he asked Shi Shi to reward Jin Cai with copper coins.Looking at the bounty money in his hand, Jin Cai was disgusted enough: his majestic old house manager was rewarded with copper coins like a servant, can he not be disgusted?
It's just that there is a distinction between master and servant in terms of title, and Jia Huan doesn't expect to get anything from him, so he doesn't care about his mood.Now that he accepts Jin Cai's "carefully" prepared clothes instead of throwing them on Jin Cai's face, he is already looking at his dying face.
The clothes really put a lot of thought into it, if Jia Huan hadn’t told him in the imperial examination papers that students were not allowed to wear interlayer clothes in all imperial examinations, so as not to get caught and entrained, it would have really been Jincai’s wholehearted effort to not let the clothes go. Master is freezing.Look at these clothes, the material is good, and the cotton is also thick, but it is a pity that they should not be worn into the number room.
If Jia Huan really wore this, he might not even be able to walk through the door of the examination room, and he would have to take the examination within three years.It seems that Director Jin has been instructed by an expert again, but he doesn't know who this expert is.
But tomorrow is the exam, Jia Huan just let Jincai go to work on him if there is nothing to do, and he wants to rest earlier.Jin Cai, who originally wanted to pull Jia Huan to say a few more words, had no choice but to leave the courtyard where Jia Huan lived.
"Boss, do you think this brother Huan can wear this dress?" the servant who followed Jin Cai asked uncertainly, knowing that this brother Huan was guarding against them, it was almost on the surface.
Jin Cai snorted coldly: "Even if he doesn't wear it tomorrow, as long as he touches the clothes, he won't be able to enter the examination room." The servant wanted to ask again, but Jin Cai stared at him and shut his mouth.
On the other hand, Jia Huan asked Shitou to find a piece of cloth to wrap up the clothes. Shitou couldn't understand: "Even if these clothes are not suitable for the examination room, the third master can use them on weekdays. Why don't they just put them outside? Save time and trouble.”
However, Jia Huan was worried about Jin Cai who suddenly offered her courtesy. The things he brought, let alone himself, were not allowed to touch the stones.
Facts proved that Jia Huan's suspicion was not without reason. When it was time to enter the examination room the next day, Shitou couldn't get up on the kang.Naturally, Jia Huan couldn't see what was wrong with him, so he had to ask Lin Sheng to invite a doctor, and he and Zhao Guoji went to take the exam together.
Not to mention how Jia Huan entered the examination room and how to answer the questions.He only said that Jin Cai heard that Jia Huan passed the examination room smoothly, and that it was his servant who got sick, how could he not know that he had missed again?He wanted to take back the clothes he had sent while Jia Huan was away, but Lin Sheng couldn't take a single step to leave, leaving him nowhere to start.
Fortunately, the medicine was only debilitating, not fatal.By the time Jia Huan and Zhao Guoji returned home after their exams, the stone was almost healed.Jin Cai welcomed Jia Huan and the two into the mansion, and said, "Third Master's servant is already on the mend, it took a lot of effort to invite a doctor and take medicine these few days."
Jia Huan only snorted out of his nose, and he accepted it. He just walked towards his own yard without even looking at Jin Cai.Jin Cai saw that Jia Huan was not wearing the clothes she sent, and she felt a little uncomfortable, so she had to watch Jia Huan go away.
"Go, watch in Brother Shanghuan's yard and take back those clothes." Jin Cai ordered his servant to follow.The boy was bitter, if he could take it back, he would have taken it back a few days ago when Brother Huan was away, so why wait until now?The master is back, so there is no reason for a servant of his own to go to the yard to get things.
But the person in front of him was the manager, and he had to listen.After a while, the boy came to report: "Brother Huan's courtyard door is tightly closed, and when he called the door, he only said that he was tired from the exam and was resting. The little one didn't even go in."
The boy couldn't get in, and Jin Cai couldn't do anything, so he kicked him twice to relieve his anger.Just before the development office, the person at the door came to report: "Director, the elder brother of the yamen servant of Yingtianfu is here."
Jin Cai wondered: "Didn't I take care of everything a year ago, why did you come to the door again?" The person at the door didn't know, Jin Cai had to go to the concierge once.
The yamen servants who came were also old acquaintances. After all, although the Rongguo Mansion lived in Beijing, there were still some clansmen in Jinling, and they had to deal with these people every year.As the director of the old house, Jin Cai has a good relationship with these people.Acquaintances are easy to handle, so Jincai knew that as soon as Jia Huan left the examination room, he went to Yingtian Mansion to sue the servants of this old house for enslaving the master.
"How do you say that?" Jin Cai laughed at the visitor: "Old buddies have also seen it. Our third master has just returned from taking the exam. If someone really murders the master, can the third master pass the exam?"
The yamen servant also smiled and said: "It is reasonable. But the third master of your mansion told the adults that it was his boy who saved him from disaster. And that boy is really sick, so he really invited a doctor of."
It was only then that Jin Cai discovered the loopholes in her handling of affairs. She was only relying on her friendship with the magistrate, so she refused to show any emotion on her face: "The boy is just a little weaker. Our family has always been kind to the next, so we found him Doctors ask for medicine. I think our third master misunderstood."
Just as he was talking, Mr. Sun called the boy over again, saying that Mr. Sun wanted to read Jia Huan's exam papers.The yamen servants are also familiar with Mr. Sun - the son of their magistrate is also studying in Qingshan Academy.
The servant of the Sun family saw that there was a yamen servant here, so he had to ask a question. The yamen servant answered with the truth, and the servant of the Sun family said: "There is such a ruthless person, I'd better go back to the mansion and tell the master. We Mister thinks highly of the third master in the house, so he will definitely not let the third master suffer this loss. The yamen servant is busy first, maybe our husband has to pay a visit to the magistrate." After finishing speaking, he walked away without a trace.
Jin Cai called out to the servant twice, but failed to stop him, so she had to smile wryly at the yamen servant.The yamen servant reminded him: "Boss Jin, Mr. Sun still has some face with the magistrate, you have to think about it."
What I think about is nothing more than how to clean myself up on this matter.Those yamen servants chatted with Jincai for a while, they understood the situation, and went back to the yamen to report the situation to the magistrate.
Jia Huan didn't think that he would be able to bring down Jincai, which had been operating in Jinling for many years, at once, but this old thing is really Mrs. Wang's good dog, and Jia Huan didn't mind making things difficult for him.With this filing with the magistrate, if Jia Huan has any headaches in the old house, Jin Cai will be the first suspect.
Jin Cai naturally understood that Jia Huan couldn't move now.Not only can't move, but he has to serve him with delicious food and drink, and he has to prevent himself from getting sick, so he has to be extra careful about Jia Huan's diet every day.
In a few days, the results of the county examination came out. Not only Jia Huan was at the top, but Zhao Guoji also passed the county examination, but his results were at the bottom.But this has already satisfied Zhao Guoji: "Huan'er, have you seen that I can do it, I really can do it."
Jia Huan looked at the excited Zhao Guoji, and was also happy for him: "Congratulations, uncle. Uncle has passed the county examination, are you going to take the government examination?"
Zhao Guoji nodded naturally: "Of course I will participate. You didn't say it before, just pretend that you know what to test."
So the two devoted themselves to studying again, and took the government examination in April.But this time Zhao Guoji was not so lucky, he failed the government examination.Jia Huan did pass, but his grades were a bit worse than those in the county examination.
From the second day when he knew that he had failed the government examination, Zhao Guoji went back to his private school to study again, and Jia Huan also returned to Qingshan Academy.Mr. Sun is quite satisfied with Jia Huan's results. After all, his age is right there, and his family is not from a scholarly family, so it is fair to say that he can achieve such results.
But with such a result, he was not sure if he had to take the hospital examination, so Jia Huan was once again surrounded by Mr. Sun's advanced question sea tactics, and there was no room for resistance.
Fortunately, Jia Huan didn't want to resist either. He knew very well that this was his only chance before the Rongguo Mansion ransacked his house.If it is done, the crime of ransacking the house may be lighter. If not, Mrs. Wang will not allow him to take advantage of the loophole again and go back to Jinling for scientific research.
At the beginning of the twice-three-year hospital examination, I hadn't seen Jia Huan's Jincai for nearly half a year, and I breathed a sigh of relief: Because of the long-term pressure on the body and hard study, and it was time for the body to grow, Jia Huan Huan seemed to have lost more than a circle of weight, his head was extraordinarily big, his body was extraordinarily slender, and he stood there with long arms and long legs, making one wonder if the wind would blow the person in front of him off.
With such a body, he might not be able to pass the examination room, and even if he leaves the examination room, he will suffer a serious illness.So when Jia Huan was carried back to her yard by the stone after the exam, Jin Cai felt extremely happy.
But he was not happy for long, because Jia Huan looked thin, but his body was still strong, and after sleeping for two days, he was a little relieved. When the results came out, Jia Huan, who became a scholar, was already able Go out to visit the teacher, it will be the same year.
Jin Cai looked at Jia Huan who was alive and kicking, no matter how unwilling she was, she had to prepare gifts for him everywhere—now Jia Huan was no longer the young boy who was studying a year ago, but a scholar.With this level of status, the master must have valued him a lot, and the wife has to listen to the master even if she can cover the sky with one hand in the inner house.What's more, there is still an old lady in the mansion, it is far from the point where Mrs. Wang can cover the sky with one hand.
Jia Huan didn't care about Jin Cai's attitude, now he started to pack his luggage and prepare to return to Beijing.That's right, Jia Huan didn't plan to take the provincial examination. First, because of his current level, he had no confidence in taking the provincial examination.Secondly, so what if he wins Juren?In the future, if the Rongguo Mansion is copied, it will not mean that they will be dismissed.Juren is fame, and being a scholar is also fame. The abolition of fame can offset part of the crime, and fame is enough.
Jia Huan, who didn't intend to do useless work, packed his luggage early and asked Shi Shi to book a boat.After confirming the date of the trip, saying goodbye to her husband and the same year, Jia Huan, who got on the boat again, did not have the slightest expectation for returning to Rongguo Mansion after leaving for two years.
Because Zhao Guoji intends to continue his studies in Jinling—he has already entrusted Mr. Sun to Qingshan Academy, and he must have achieved the fame of a scholar in another year, so he doesn't want to waste time on the road.So this time, only Shitou accompanied Jia Huan back to Beijing.
Speechless all the way.
Jia Huan, who appeared in front of the door of the Rongguo Mansion, was dark and thin, and had grown a bit taller.If he hadn't called out the names of several sects himself, those people would have almost refused to let him enter the mansion.Looking at the disciples who hadn't seen him for two years and who had become quite arrogant, Jia Huan knew that the day when Rongguo Mansion would be raided was getting closer.
"Greetings to the old lady, the grandson didn't do his filial piety in front of the old lady, which made the old lady worry about it." Jia Huan was allowed to enter the Rongqing hall this time, and was received by the old lady.He said things that he didn't even believe, but on his face he still acted envious.
The old lady was in a good mood today, and said with a smile: "My good boy, you have also suffered in the past two years. You have been selected as a scholar at a young age. It is not in vain that I have taken care of you for two years."
Jia Huan thanked the old lady again, and after receiving the seat, he pretended to be a wooden man there, answering briefly when asked, and looking at the flowers on the teacup if he didn't ask.
If it weren't for Jia Huan's selection of a scholar this time, the old lady wouldn't even give him a wink.But even if this child is selected as a scholar, he still can't get on the stage, and he can't even say a word of humor.This also made the old lady feel disappointed.So the old man waved her hand: "You are also tired on the road, go back and rest."
Jia Huan withdrew, so naturally he couldn't go back to his and Aunt Zhao's small courtyard directly, because Jia Zheng hadn't left the office yet, so he had to go to Mrs. Wang to pay her respects.As for the old lady, Jia Huan still showed admiration, but in front of Mrs. Wang, he became paralyzed.The two of them are about to die, and if they act like mothers are loving and filial, they will not be able to deceive themselves, let alone others.
Mrs. Wang was worried that Jia Zheng would look at this concubine differently now, so she couldn't make it harder for him, so she just slapped Jia Huan and let him go.After leaving the Rongxi Hall, Jia Huan still looked back at the high-hanging plaque, it was just a room, why would these people fight like black-eyed chickens?
Aunt Zhao's courtyard was close in front of her eyes, Jia Huan slowed down her pace, he had been away for two years, even if he had letters to the mansion, a person like Jia Zheng would not mention Aunt Zhao in his letters.It was still in the letter from the Zhao family to Zhao Guoji that Aunt Zhao was still living her life as usual.
Jia Huan also figured out what it means to be as usual: it's just that Mrs. Wang is still making noise from time to time, or being arranged by the servants of the house.But now Aunt Zhao could be seen standing outside the courtyard waiting for him from a distance, Jia Huan couldn't help but quicken her pace, with tears in her eyes: "Auntie."
Hearing his call, Aunt Zhao also took two steps forward, shedding tears and scolding: "You are cruel, you have been away for such a long time, and you don't care if people miss you or not. Why are you so cruel?" Already broke down in tears.
Jia Huan knelt down on the road and kowtowed to Aunt Zhao: "I made Auntie think about it, it's Huan'er's fault."
"Get up, get up." Aunt Zhao didn't care to wipe her tears, she pulled Jia Huan to get up.The mother and son entered the house, and Aunt Zhao had already asked Xiao Jixiang to fetch water and food.Jia Huan didn't see Xiao Que, so he asked curiously, "Why is there only Xiao Jixiang serving?"
Aunt Zhao curled her lips and said, "It's not our Second Mistress Lian who said that the family was having a hard time, so she cut off Aunt Zhou's and I's girls. She just picked people like us and didn't see her in the wife's room." Who was laid off?"
Is it time for Yin to eat Maoliang?Facing the original book, Jia Huan knew that his judgment was correct.The current Rongguo Mansion should have reached a precarious moment.As a talented person, I really did the exam in time.
Jia Huan persuaded Aunt Zhao with a smile, "It's fine if she gets laid off, but that girl makes people uncomfortable in this yard. Now I don't need Auntie to do it herself, so it's easy."
Even though Aunt Zhao was upset, she was still happy that her son, whom she hadn't seen for two years, came back, so she put it aside and said goodbye to Jia Huan: "You don't know, the mansion has been lively these two years... ..."
So Jia Huan knew that he had missed the most exciting Grand View Garden, Jia Lian's stealthy marriage to Second Sister You, the copying of Grand View Garden, and Yuanchun finger marriage.But Jia Huan didn't care about these things, he only asked Aunt Zhao: "Your Majesty suggested marriage to Brother Bao, where is Sister Lin?"
Aunt Zhao said with some disdain: "I heard that my mother pointed out the marriage, and the Li family took Miss Lin to live there. It was said to be a short stay, but all the things of the Lin family were packed away in the house. The old lady wanted to stop her , but people from the Li family said that Baoyu was engaged and was still living in the garden, which would give Miss Lin a bad name. But now that Baoyu's jade is gone, the old lady and the wife dare not move him, so they had to let Miss Lin gone."
Fortunately, this Li family is really willing to stand up for Daiyu.Thinking about coming to Li's house, no matter how sad Daiyu is, she should stand on her own after seeing the true face of Rongguo Mansion.What can't be broken can't be built, which is the current situation of Daiyu.
"What about the second sister?" Jia Huan asked the person she cared about again.
Aunt Zhao said: "I heard it's not very good. The mansion also sent people to send things, saying that the second girl can't touch them at all."
Jia Huan could only remain silent.He still knew about Yingchun, if someone pointed it at the side, maybe he could still stand up, but in this life. . .Alas, it is hard to save a man if he cannot stand on his own.He could only say: "Tomorrow, I'll go to see my second sister. I haven't been back for such a long time, so I should also visit my brother-in-law."
Aunt Zhao heard that he cared about this and that, but she didn't ask her own sister, so she couldn't help being a little angry: "Why don't you see your third sister, but you care about others in the two lives."
"Third Sister? Auntie, let me tell you, during the two years I was away, Third Sister had a few words with Auntie, but did you come to visit Auntie?" Jia Huan asked firmly.
Aunt Zhao just choked, she couldn't lie to herself and say she had done something that Tanchun hadn't done.Jia Huan sneered and said, "Third sister is far away from my aunt, and I'm afraid that she and her wife are deeply in love with each other now. She is living well, so why should I care about my younger brother who she doesn't like?"
For a moment the room fell silent.Fortunately, it's time for dinner, no one in this mansion thinks that Jia Huan will come back, he should catch up with him, or he should use it with Aunt Zhao.Because Aunt Zhao made Jia Huan unhappy, he picked up Zhao Guoji's academic progress and told Aunt Zhao about passing the county examination, which gradually made Aunt Zhao calm down.
But Tanchun said that she knew that Jia Huan had returned home today, thinking that she hadn't seen him for two years, Jia Huan was already a scholar, and when he came to see her later, she didn't have to treat him like a child.Let the waiter look at it again, and then ask someone to prepare snacks and tea, just waiting for Jia Huan to visit her.
Who would have thought that Jia Huan would still not come when the dessert was cold and the tea was cold. "Get out." Tan Chun lazily told the girl.
Knowing that she was depressed, the waiter persuaded: "Brother Huan traveled all the way, I think he is tired. Why don't you go visit him."
Tanchun said coldly: "I'm a sister, so there's no reason to go to him." In his heart, he even thought that Jia Huan had won the prize of a scholar, and he didn't make much progress.The waiter couldn't persuade me anymore, so I had to arrange for someone to prepare a meal, and the waiter Tanchun spent some of it carelessly.
After inquiring again the next day, Jia Huan had already left the house. Hearing that he was going to see the second girl, Tanchun was even more angry: he didn't even leave a trace of his own sister, but he was considerate to others.He wanted to go to Aunt Zhao's place, but he never went there on weekdays, so he let it go as if he didn't want others to look at him for power.
Jia Huan doesn't know that Tanchun was waiting for him yesterday, and now he is relatively speechless with Yingchun.The young woman in front of her was not the third young lady with a happy face that she was familiar with in her previous life, but a lifeless woman with dull eyes.
"Second sister should also take care of herself." Jia Huan persuaded weakly.
Yingchun smiled dryly: "It's just a matter of life. Please think about it and come to visit me specially. It's just that you don't need to come again next time. Even if we meet, it's just a little more sad."
Even if you really look away, it's not good to tell a person who came to see you with good intentions like this, right?Jia Huan felt that it was because the masters of Rongguo Mansion had heard Yingchun talk like this before, so none of them really stood up for Yingchun.It is true that the Rongguo Mansion is indifferent and there are many people who can't afford it early, but Yingchun herself has given up, how long can others stand for her?
After all, she was protected in the previous life, Jia Huan still quietly stuffed the note with the address of Taohua Hutong to Yingchun: "Second sister has something that I can't tell the mansion, and I don't want to tell the mansion, You can go to this place. You know the people there."
Yingchun finally had some light in his eyes, and he pinched the note tightly, as if he was pinching his own life.Jia Huan still didn't see Zhongshan wolf, so he had to ask Yingchun to send his greetings before saying goodbye to Yingchun.
After leaving the Sun's residence, Jia Huan let out a sigh of relief. The mansion was oppressive for no reason, and it seemed that the breath was uneven there.Seeing that it was still early, Jia Huan went to Li's mansion again.But whether the Li family will let him in, whether they can let him see Daiyu, is hard to say.
Even though he knew that there was little hope, Jia Huan still went to the gate of Li's residence to ask for an audience.Because he was still young and didn't have a post in his hand, even if the family members of Li's house were not as arrogant as Rongguo's house, they didn't intend to inform him.Jia Huan didn't talk too much, if he didn't let him see him, he wouldn't let him see him, because his family was sorry for him.
"Jia Huan?" Li Shilang was coming out of the side door, and when he saw Jia Huan who was about to leave in dejection, he called out uncertainly. It is true that this child has changed a lot in the past two years. If Li Shilang hadn't been too impressed with him Deep, I dare not admit it.
When Jia Huan saw Li Shilang, he hurriedly called: "Master Li, I'll come and see Sister Lin." Li Shilang nodded.Said to the door: "Go to the second door and say, Jia Huan from Rongguo Mansion has come to see the eldest lady." The door hurriedly responded.
miss?Jia Huan was unfamiliar with this title.Li Shilang saw his doubts and said: "I had a relationship with Ru Hai, and now he only has such a trace of blood left, and he is being bullied like this. Since those relatives are unreliable, then I think that the righteous daughter is no longer It's better to rely on those relatives."
Even though Jia Huan was not included in Li Shilang's relatives who bullied Daiyu, his face was still flushed—he still lives in Rongguo Mansion, so he can be regarded as a member of Rongguo Mansion.
Seeing that Jia Huan's face was flushed, Li Shilang realized that the person he was angry with
