Jia Huan stayed in Lai's house for two nights. On the morning of www.biquge.info the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Zhixiao, the second housekeeper of Jiafu, led someone to help Jia Huan carry the gifts to a carriage.

At the side gate of Jiafu, there were still two carriages waiting. The car was full of large bags and small bags, all of which were Dragon Boat Festival gifts given to Jia Huan by the elders of Jiafu, showing the grandeur of Jiafu.

Lin Zhixiao explained: "Third Master, your literary name has spread all over the capital. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone who comes to the house to give gifts must praise you. These are the Dragon Boat Festival gifts given to the third master by the masters of the East and West Mansions. ”

Jia Huan nodded slightly. It turned out that he could come back with such a high courtesy, as well as the bonus of his literary name. Looking at the gifts of the two carriages, he had to admit one thing: the Jia family "held" him very well. It makes him feel very valued.

Of course, from the perspective of the owners of Rong and Ning Mansions, this is not a favor, this is a long-term emotional investment.

Jia Huan smiled in his heart. I first went back to the inn in the inner city to pick up my luggage, and then went out of the city through Yanping Gate and returned to Wendao Academy.

After arriving at the academy, the gifts were sorted into categories: the degree, clothes, gold and silver, etc. were all placed at Ye Jiaolang's place; Delicacies and snacks were distributed to the mountain chief, the speaker, and friends; If it is easy to keep it for a long time, you can keep it for a while and make a tooth sacrifice for a while.

After that, I threw myself into the intense and busy study. Time passed through my fingers.

…

One midsummer evening, at the foot of the Fragrant Mountains, there was a bustling summer scene: barefoot farmers, lush forests, golden wheat fields, mud-covered buffaloes, curling cooking smoke, and unbridled water ducks on the fence walls.

A delicate pink carriage marched smoothly on the loess road. The car curtain lifted slightly, revealing a delicate and beautiful beautiful face, and the country was talented.

The carriage turned right, went up to Xiangshan, and finally stopped at the mountainside of Xiangshan. The sun is crumbling at this time. The mountains are verdant. A gorgeous Taoist temple bathed in the sunset: Xuantai Jade Pavilion, Treasure Elephant Shrine. The twilight bell of the mountain temple came slowly.

The horizontal plaque on the gate of the magnificent Taoist temple reads: Qixia Temple.

"Grandma, it's here."

…

Time is rushing, and it is the end of May in a blink of an eye. On the evening of the 25th, Jia Huan received a notice from Zhaifu to go to the ear room of the reception guest at the back door of the academy to meet his elder Qian Huai.

After asking about the situation in Jiafuli, Qian Huai, who came to send a letter to Jia Huan, talked about the news that Qin Keqing, the young grandmother of Dongfu, was practicing in Qixiaguan in Xiangshan.

"It is said that in order to seek a child, Grandma Rong had to practice in Qixiaguan for three years. Gee.... Now the two houses are talking about her sincerity. Uncle Zhen angrily scolded Young Master Rong several times for this reason, and asked him to pick up his daughter-in-law back. ”

Qian Huai didn't know the inside story, and when he said it, he was amazed. Thinking about it, Qin Keqing gave up brocade clothes and jade food, and went to the Taoist temple to eat and drink dew, which puzzled him.

Jia Huan smiled slightly, praised Qin Keqing in his heart, and said seriously: "What do you know?" Mother is more precious than son. The Qin family doesn't have a son by her side, and Ning Guofu's huge family business has nothing to do with her. ”

Qian Huai grinned and scratched his head. He doesn't understand very well. Grandma Rong is not in the house, so Master Rong won't have children with other women? The atmosphere of Dongfu is..., hehe! The third master probably doesn't understand these yet, right?

Jia Huan didn't know what his entourage was thinking. Send Qian Huai to Dongzhuang Town to rest. I'll pick up his reply tomorrow morning.

Jia Huan was thinking about another question: Qin Keqing is not in Ningguo Mansion, Jiao Da is going to scold Jia Zhen for picking up ashes this winter, I'm afraid I can't find a partner, right? In addition, he was a little curious, who was the one who raised the little uncle?

And Qin Keqing is not here, will Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong still have a meeting at the beginning of this winter? That's a very evil topic: what the hell are these two going on -- is there a ki? There are many rumors in the ethnography of Jiafu.

Jia Huan smiled in his heart and returned to the dormitory to read the letter Tanchun had given him.

His butterfly is already flapping its wings for "change".

…

At noon the next day, Jia Huan sent a long letter back to Tanchun, and handed it to Qian Huai at noon, and just after leaving the ear room, he happened to meet his senior brother Sun Liang. Gongsun Liang warmly invited Jia Huan to his dormitory for lunch.

The dormitories of the disciples of Wendao Academy are divided into three grades: the dormitory of the outer house is one for ten people, just like the Chase Shop in high school; The inner dormitory has four people in one room, similar to a university dormitory; One room for one person in the upper dormitory.

Gongsun Liang is a scholar of Wendao Academy, and he has been the first in the exam for a long time, and he has lived in the upper dormitory early.

From the back door of the academy, through the courtyard of the inner dormitory, and then through a bamboo forest and a corridor, it is the upper dormitory, and the layout of the courtyard is entered. There are wings in the four directions of east, west, south and north. Gongsun Liang's residence is in North No. 2.

The entrance is a single room of about 50 square meters, with a screen separating the living room and bedroom in the middle. Equipped with a variety of household utensils. Somewhat sloppy. Books are piled up in the corner.

Gongsun Liangjun's face was slightly red, he snorted, cleaned up a corner of the desk, and ate separately with Jia Huan. He went back to his hometown of Miyun County some time ago. I just came back the day before yesterday and brought some hometown food. Therefore, Jia Huan was specially invited to taste.

In fact, Gongsun Liang felt a little guilty in his heart.

At the end of March, everyone went to the government to register for the exam, and Senior Brother Jia invited a total of 17 students from the academy to eat and drink in the Zuixian Building, spending more than 30 taels of silver. If Senior Brother Jia is in a bad situation in his family, he will be a wicked person.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Liang asked, "Senior Brother Jia, how are you doing during the Dragon Boat Festival?" ”

Jia Huan smiled and said, "It's okay!" "His trip back to Jiafu this time is a bit similar to returning to his hometown! Overall, it's pretty cool.

Where is Gongsun Liang willing to believe? comforted: "Senior Brother Jia, I said before that I would take you to Miaofeng Mountain and other places to play. I'll take you there after you've tried it. Uh, after two days of monthly exams, I'll take you to see a beautiful woman. ”

Jia Huan almost instantly remembered Gongsun Liang's reputation as a "beautiful woman" in the academy. I was speechless for a while, senior brother, I'm only nine years old, is it really okay for you to take me to drink flower wine?

But things are not at all what Jia Huan thought.

…

Jia Huan had lunch in Gongsun Liang's dormitory, chatted for a while, and then said goodbye and returned to the Zhizhi Lecture Hall in Qingyun Academy. There are also classes in the afternoon. When he walked through the corridor in the bamboo forest, he suddenly heard three students discussing things related to him, and he couldn't help but slow down.

"In this month's monthly exam, how many people did Jia Yuan take the first exam?" This is Chen Jiayun's voice.

"Third place in class A of the outer house."

Chen Jiayun said: "Hmph, but that's it! This man has no name. There are so many people who have not passed the house test of Shuntian Mansion, and he actually passed. It's just a matter of luck. Seventy-second is telling. ”

The third person said: "Haha, Brother Chen still has an opinion on classmate Jia in his heart." ”

Chen Jiayun said: "I don't shy away from it. Sha Sheng, the great master of Beizhili Tixue, and the mountain chief are good friends, and the Jinshi of the first subject is the same year. If I am the head of the hospital this year, I will definitely be able to pass the hospital examination. But what is the use of giving him a nine-year-old child, will the Grand Master order him to pass the hospital examination? ”

"That's right! In order to prevent the emergence of power ministers, there is no custom of praising prodigies. ”

The third man said: "When he arrives in the inner house, you and I will compete with him, and we will be superior to the other." ”

Chen Jiayun said: "Hey, it depends on whether he can enter the inner house at the end of this month." Brother Niu, there is only one place to enter the inner house this month, right? ”

"Definitely. Brother Chen rest assured, he will definitely take it down in the future. ”

"Haha." All three laughed.

Jia Huan walked out of the corridor speechlessly. Chen Jiayun's laughter came to an abrupt end. They have seen Jia Huan. It's really Jia Huan's small size, and it's too easy to recognize in the academy.

Jia Huan glanced at the three people laughing at the table in the bamboo forest, and left directly. How much enmity does Chen Jiayun have with him? I think it was he who blocked Chen Jiayun's way, so he hated him.

People like Chen Jiayun think that others owe it, which seems to be cynical, but in fact they are too far behind Han Xiucai, a madman in the capital. Han Xiucai's character is much better.

And that classmate Niu spoke in an arrogant tone, which made Jia Huan quite unhappy in his heart. He didn't bother to engage in a verbal argument with the three of them. But he was the first in the monthly exam this month, and he had to take it.

Actions speak louder than words.

…

In the monthly examination at the end of May, the news that only the first place in Class A of the outer dormitory was admitted to the inner dormitory spread throughout the college in a short period of time.

On the evening of May 26, the eve of the monthly exam. In the lecture hall of Qingyun Academy, the lights are bright. The disciples of the outer class A are all studying hard. Pre-exam assault, this is something that happens in all ages.

In the middle of the night, on the way back to the dormitory of the outer house, Yi Junjie, whose face was already quite obvious with a beard, asked Jia Huan, "Brother Jia, do you know that only one person is admitted to the inner house this time?" ”

Jia Huan smiled and nodded.

Yi Junjie sighed lightly: "Then you are under a lot of pressure. Niu, who won the first place in the New Year's Exam this month, said at noon today that he would win the first place in Class A. ”

The dark-skinned Qin Hongtu also said, "Classmate Jia, you can't underestimate the enemy." Niu's level is very strong. It was no fluke that he won the first place in the Shuo exam this time. ”

Jia Huan smiled, "I will." A sense of pride swelled up in my heart. Back then, he was also a top student.

…

On the morning of May 27, Wendao College's May monthly examination was held as scheduled. From early in the morning, the volume was written until noon. There are 20 ways to test the scriptures and Moyi, and one article in the text.

The results are available around 3 p.m. The results of the four classes of A, B, C and D will be posted on the stone wall outside the lecture hall of Qingyun Academy. It is called: the hospital list.

In the summer, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the ground is baked hot. But the hospital list is still crowded. The disciples of Wendao Academy came to see the results in batches.

Yi Junjie is still "talking" on the side of the list, praising and deprecating characters. Just like Jia Huan did when he met him in January.

At about half past three in the afternoon, a slightly chubby classmate came in from the gate of the courtyard, with his head held high and full of confidence.

Yi Junjie smiled and said loudly: "Yo, isn't this Classmate Niu?" I heard that you won the first place in Class A before the exam, and vowed to be admitted to the inner house, come and see the list. Ladies and gentlemen, let me see the list. ”

Classmate Niu glared at Yi Junjie coldly, "Classmate Yi, I know that you have a good relationship with Classmate Jia, but what are you talking to me in a weird way?" ”

As he spoke, he walked to the front of the courtyard list, and after only the first glance, his face changed. The confident and proud expression melted like snow under the scorching sun. There are two words written on the first place on the hospital list: Jia Huan. He was in third place.

Yi Junjie looked at Classmate Niu with a smile and sneered: "Classmate Niu, how is it?" It's not very good to be a person. ”

Classmate Niu blushed and did not speak. His eyes were fixed on the hospital list.

Yi Junjie smiled and said, "I have another news to tell Classmate Niu here." In May, a total of two outer disciples will be admitted. You're number three. Early next month. ”

There are about 100,000 grass and mud horses whistling past in Niu's heart, flicking his sleeves, turning around and leaving. It hurts my liver. So depressed.

Yi Junjie laughed. The second place is his friend: Qin Hongtu. (To be continued.) )
