The next morning, the owner, Mr. Long Jiang, did not get up. Zhao County Ling and the mountain chiefs of the three academies took their respective entourages, left posts, and left separately.

Jia Huan and Gongsun Liang sat in the luxurious carriage of the mountain chief Zhang Anbo and returned to Wendao Academy twenty miles away comfortably.

Gongsun Liang told the mountain chief Zhang Anbo about the banquet last night, and Han Xiucai came to report the matter of Shuntian Mansion Yin.

Mountain Chief Zhang Anbo groaned slightly, and then smiled at Jia Huan: "The cone is in the bag, and the end is immediate." ”

This is high praise. Jia Huan hurriedly said modestly: "The mountain chief is too famous. The disciple just happened to meet him. ”

Mountain Chief Zhang Anbo smiled and shook his head, "Do you know that Mr. Longjiang was the emperor of that year?" Fifteen years ago, Bingshenko's royal list. At that time, it was the twenty-third year of Kangshun. It is now the ninth year of Yongzhi. ”

Gongsun Liang is still a little ignorant, and he doesn't know why. Jia Huan understood in an instant. A series of thoughts in the mind are strung together in a very short period of time.

He meowed. It's scary to think about. Mr. Longjiang was a relative of Emperor Kangshun, and his father was a bachelor of the Kangshun Dynasty (presumably early). So is he loyal to Emperor Kangshun or Emperor Yongzhi?

I heard that Emperor Kangshun is now Emperor Taishang. But how many emperors can there be in history? There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords in the country!

There are two situations in which the Emperor Taishang appears. First, take the initiative to abdicate. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was located in Jiaqing and served as the emperor for several years. But he has a lot of power. Jiaqing is a puppet.

Second, he was forced to abdicate by his son. Tang Gaozu Li Yuan. Tang Taizong Li Shimin Xuanwumen mutinied, killed his brother and killed his brother, and forced Li Yuan to abdicate.

Mr. Longjiang's retreat to the rivers and lakes, looking for flowers and willows, and sending love to calligraphy and painting, I am afraid that the second type is the majority.

In the study of Red Studies, the general view agrees that the historical background of the mapping of Red Mansions is the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties. However, Cao Xueqin died of illness in the 44th year of Qianlong, and Qianlong's abdication was 60 years of Qianlong. It is impossible for Cao Xueqin to know that Qianlong will become the emperor. The setting of the Emperor Taishang, God knows what he thinks!

Jia Huan combined with the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty that he now understands, and just wants to say one thing: It's a dog.

History has become unrecognizable and messy!

Back to Han Xiucai's train of thought. Obviously, with Mr. Longjiang's embarrassing identity, he came forward to Emperor Yongzhi to report Shuntianfu Yin, whether Lu Fuyin is okay, Jia Huan doesn't know, but Mr. Longjiang will definitely have something.

Han Xiucai is a mallet! Jia Huan now knew what the mountain chief meant by praising him. He inadvertently did Mr. Long Jiang a favor.

Mr. Long Jiang is the son of Zaifu, and his political level is still very good. He would rather break off his friendship with Han Xiucai than come out. But he broke off his friendship with Han Xiucai, a famous man in the capital. It will have a certain impact on his reputation. Jia Huan's favor is to help in this place.

Han Xiucai didn't cut off his sleeves in the end, and said a soft word, which is naturally not a broken relationship.

Mr. Longjiang wants to accept his favor!

Thinking of this, Jia Huan felt a little cool in his heart. It is still very rewarding to come to Xiangshan to participate in the early spring cultural meeting: the county test guarantee qualification is in hand, I make friends with Mr. Longjiang, and I drink with the famous prostitute poet girl in the capital.

Mountain chief Zhang Anbo looked at Jia Huan, and then at Gongsun Liang, and sighed lightly. His disciple's scriptures, articles, character, and character are all excellent. But it is slightly inferior in terms of power and opportunity. There is also a need for growth.

"Jia Huan, tell your senior brother Gongsun what you think."

"Okay, Yamako." Jia Huan responded with a smile.

The twenty-mile journey back was slowly passed in small talk.

…

…

After Jia Huan returned to the academy, he set off for the capital with his classmates who went to the capital to take the county examination in the same two days. There are: Luo Xiangyang, Jia Huan, Liu Yichen, and Wei Yang, a total of four people.

February 26. The county examinations in Wanping County and Daxing County started on the same day. Since the roll call is required before dawn. On the third watch, Luo Xiangyang, Jia Huan, and Liu Yichen set off from the inn where they lived.

As for the winner in life: Wei Yang Wei prodigy, the Wei family has a residence in the capital. After he arrived in the capital, he lived at home. From home.

On the third watch, the rows of houses are still shrouded in the thick of the night. And the streets are already full of chariots. The dotted lights converge in a line on the street, like a long dragon winding its way.

Jia Huan, Luo Xiangyang and Liu Yichen were separated at the intersection. Liu Yichen wants to go to Daxing County School to take the exam. The three of them wished each other well: "Good luck to both of you." "I'll meet Brother Liu again in the future." Entering Pan is a ritual performed by Zhong Xiucai when he went to the Confucian Temple. It's pretty good lip gloss. The three of them laughed and parted at the intersection.

Jia Huan and Luo Junzi arrived all the way to the county school, and there were already a sea of people outside the examination shed. There are teenage children like Jia Huan with childish faces. There are also teenagers like Luo Junzi, who is fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Brother Jia, please." Luo Junzi's slightly chubby round face showed a confident smile.

Jia Huan smiled and said, "Brother Luo, please." He also has a bottom in his heart. Escort students. There is no hope of taking the case first. It's definitely no problem. He himself will not make a mistake.

All the way to the queue, body search, roll call, into the examination booth. Jia Huan got the test paper, sat in his own examination room in the examination shed, and took out all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the long-eared examination basket and put them on the desk.

The things in the exam basket were all prepared by himself. It's nothing more than the word careful. The county officials decide on four or five county trials. One day per session. Students who have been ordered in the first session do not need to participate in the next few sessions.

Jia Huan carefully examined it. At that time, he was also a top student, and he was not afraid of the exam atmosphere. After waiting for a while, the sound of hitting the cloud board in the public hall was loud, and the examination room was silent. Start answering questions.

In February of Xinhai year, the county trial of Wanping County, Shuntianfu, Beizhili began.

…

…

On 26 February, the news of Jia Huan's participation in the county examination had already spread throughout Jiafu with the mouth of his elder follower, Qian Huai. But there are not many people who really care about Jia Huan's exam.

Jia Yu helped Jia Huan brag that he was a seed of Jiafu reading. raised very high, but Jia Yu was busy for a while last year, and after asking the housekeeper and steward of Jiafu to pay the "deposit", he made more than 10,000 taels of silver and continued his luxurious life of drinking and playing with his little wife. When Jia Huan came out of Jiafu, he said "If you don't learn, you won't pay it back", it made it clear that he didn't have the same heart as him, what did he still care about Jia Huan?

Jia Zheng heard what Qingke said, discussed it once, and the matter passed. With Jiafu's family background, even if his concubine wins Xiucai, it is not a major event in the family. Mrs. Wang did not pay attention to the news of Jia Huan's participation in the county examination. She only cares about Jia Huan's talent in the end. As for the small test in Xiucai, she doesn't care.

Jia's mother doesn't want to see Jia Huan, which is a well-known thing in Jiafu. Therefore, the news of the Jiahuan County test reached the ears of Mandarin Duck and stopped.

In the afternoon, the spring breeze blows. The parrots under the eaves of the porch chirped noisily. Wearing a light pink coat, the mandarin duck stood under the eaves and looked at the flowers blooming in the spring breeze in the courtyard. He is tall and has white skin. She was thinking about the little boy.

Convincing or not?

Wear.

But suddenly hearing the news that he was taking the imperial examination felt a little unreal. You can take the exam in two or three months!

The mandarin duck thought about it and sent a little maid to inform Ping'er in the second grandmother's room.

…

…

When Bao, Dai, Hai, Ying, Tan, and Xi were playing together, they talked a few words and put them down. It's been discussed many times before. Jia Huan's participation in the county exam this year is expected.

Under the moonlit night, Jia Huan's residence. Getting older, Qingwen, who is getting more and more beautiful, is doing needlework with Ruyi in the side hall.

"Oops." The little girl screamed ruyily, and a drop of bright red blood appeared on her finger.

Qingwen teased: "Little hoof, do you miss the third master again?" Absent-minded. Didn't Qian Huai say that there are several county exams. Today is the first one. ”

The delicate little girl held her fingers in her mouth and said aggrievedly: "Sister Qingwen, you laugh at me again!" I wonder why don't you come home for the third master's exam. You have to stay at a guest house. "How can she take good care of it in the inn?

Qingwen giggled and said, "What a proud person the third master is! He said that he would come back only after learning something, how could he come back now? ”

Laughing, the night is getting deeper.

Qingwen also accidentally pricked her fingers. Jokes are jokes. She also wanted the third master to come back. He's gone, and it's like there's something missing in the house.

…

…

On the evening of the 27th, it began to rain lightly. The spring rain is as moist as a crisp.

Jia Lian came in from the corner gate with a drunken smell and returned to the courtyard of his residence. In the bedroom, Sister Feng was lying on the bed with her head wrapped in silk cloth. The beautiful concubine Ping'er waited and talked in front of her.

Jia Lian hung up his clothes and said with a smile: "Sister Feng, why are you sick again?" ”

Wang Xifeng glared at her husband angrily, Liu Ye's eyebrows raised, and she said dissatisfiedly: "I'm sick, but you are gloating!" It's good to steal a bastard wife outside. I don't care about you else. Ping'er, don't think about it. ”

Ping'er, who was handsome, said in shame: "You two are arguing, what are you talking about me?" "Go outside to fetch water and serve Jia Lian to wash his face. Recently, the second grandfather and grandmother have often quarreled. She suffered a lot from splinting.

Jia Lian rolled up his sleeves and took the towel from Ping'er's hand, feeling a little empty. He leaned on the two beauties to be happy a few times in the afternoon, although he was not as beautiful as Sister Feng, but he knew how to serve men better than Sister Feng.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "What kind of vinegar is this?" Take care of yourself when you're sick. Don't worry about being nosy. all lost to the management of Lin Zhixiao's family. ”

How can Sister Feng be willing, her desire for power is already very great, but Jia Lian's words poked at the sore spot in her heart: Jia Huan used means to drive her henchman Laiwang's daughter-in-law out of Jiafu, and her power was divided into the family of Lin Zhixiao, the housekeeper of Jiafu.

Sister Feng sneered: "Second Master Lian earns 8,000 taels of silver this year, and his words are really atmospheric." ”

Jia Lian smiled, "Which one is this?" Pull it to the top. Mine is not yours yet. Oh, what were you discussing when I came in? ”

Sister Feng snorted coldly and did not answer. Jia Lian looked at his beautiful concubine Ping'er.

Ping'er said: "Qian'er and his wife talked about the use of the house in the ring brother's house. Let's see if we cut some people. I heard that the maids in the house are envious of the maids in the ring brother's house. Mrs. asked grandma to watch it. ”

Jia Lian waved his hand and said to Sister Feng: "You accepted this heart as soon as possible." I know what my wife thinks, and you think. This afternoon, Feng Ziying invited me to drink and said that she had met Brother Huan'er in a nobleman's manor. It is highly valued by nobles. It is said that he must pass the recent exam in the county. ”

Sister Feng listened strangely, collected the emotions in her heart, and asked, "Don't fool me." You think I don't know: Huan Laosan gave you a way to make money, and you still want to deal with him. I've already asked people to ask, what is Laozi County... I had to take four or five attempts, and I only took the first one yesterday. How is it a must-pass? ”

Jia Lian smiled and said, "So you don't understand the doorway inside." Feng Ziying said that Brother Huan was in the nobleman's manor and had seen Zhixian. You say he can't get by? ”

Wang Xifeng and Ping'er were slightly stunned when they heard this. They all thought that Jia Huan must be taking the test with real skills. Brother Huan'er has a lot of skills! It turned out to be cheating! See the magistrate (examiner) in advance. Is there anything else like this? Things for people who read books are really complicated.

Wang Xifeng's heart was weak for a while.

…

…

In the afternoon of the next day, Wang Xifeng's illness was slightly better, and he went to Dongcrossan Hospital to talk back to Mrs. Wang. It just so happened that Aunt Xue was also there.

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Madam, Brother Huan'er, who has no prospects, actually went through the road of knowing the county, I heard that this county test will pass." I inquired, and the county tried to report the good news. Our family has to prepare a reward. ”

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly and quickly relaxed. She naturally knew what Wang Xifeng was talking about. Nodding slightly, "I see." ”

Aunt Xue smiled in surprise: "Yo, Brother Huan'er will still do this?" ”

Wang Xifeng joked with Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue for a while, and then said goodbye and left. She saw that the wife was in her mind. But now I'm going to eat it myself. I'm so depressed.
