In the original book of the Red Mansion, there was a poem to praise the beauty of Daiyu: Feng'er's appearance should be scarce, and she came out of the embroidered boudoir with a quiet fang, and her whimper was still unfinished, and the birds flew all over the ground.

The appearance of the child should be scarce!

On February 12 this year, she turned 12 years old. is revealing her graceful and charming charm, beautiful and dazzling!

A girl like a flower. In the late spring and early summer night at the end of March, there was a clear cry and two lines of tears. If people's tears are compared to peach blossoms, tears will grow and flow from flowers.

Jia Huan's heart, in an instant, seemed to be tightly grasped by a small hand. stepped forward and hugged Daiyu in his arms with pity, "Hao'er, it's okay." ”

"Woo..." Daiyu sobbed in a low voice in Jia Huan's arms, venting all the worries of the past few days.

At the door of Jia Huan's house, Zijuan and Raider, who followed Daiyu from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion of Daguanyuan, came up at the door, glanced at each other, and quietly left.

It was already about ten o'clock at night. Jia Huan hugged Daiyu in front of the window and spoke softly. Daiyu tilted her head, and the bright moonlight fell softly on Daiyu's delicate little face, like beautiful jade. Beautiful for no reason.

"Brother Huan, if you are exiled to a remote mountainous area as a small official, I will accompany you."

Daiyu's tears, affection, whispered words, and thoughtful care made Jia Huan's mood that had been a little erratic since he came out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate finally relax completely.

Within a day, the tide was reversed. However, this looks easy. How much energy did it actually expend him? He sat at his desk all night, and he didn't know how many kinds of plans he had prepared. And this is not guaranteed, he will definitely be able to get out.

It also needs the cooperation of Yin Dazhongcheng, and the reaction of the Son of Heaven needs to be considered. Etcetera. To put it in a materialist way: history is created by the people, but history is driven by the big men.

Every different thought, decision, and choice of a big man in a key position will make the whole thing go in a completely different direction and outcome.

Now, he is out of the whirlpool.

"Hao'er, no. We will stay in this bustling capital. We'll be in this together. Jia Huan lowered his head and kissed Daiyu's smooth forehead gently. The girl in her arms, her pretty face suddenly turned pink, and she lowered her head shyly and tactfully, charming and indescribable.

The beauty is like a delicate hibiscus in the night. Jia hugged Daiyu, and time passed quietly. The mood is soothing, relaxed and soaring.

Yes, the capital is the highest power stage of the dynasty, unpredictable, swords and swords, unguardable, very dangerous. But he will stay. I believe that he will also have enough ability to stay.

Eat a trench, grow a wisdom. Now there are many people who pay attention to him, and the tree is very popular. Consideration had to be given to the establishment of a unit for intelligence analysis. It is inevitable that someone else will set up a scheme, conspire, and target. Even if you are the Son of Heaven, you will still be designed. However, you can filter out some "small" troubles and make a response plan.

As for the hostility of the Marquis of Ruyang, the crown prince and others, this account will always be counted. Politics is an art of struggle full of compromises. However, Jia Huan did not have the idea of compromising with them. If people don't offend me, I don't offend anyone. If anyone sins against me, I will offend.

Everything, wait until after the palace test!

A prince with dry bones in the grave, he doesn't need to be afraid. Just don't give this decrepit boy and pull it down to cushion his back.

…

…

The moon briskly shuttled through the clouds in the night sky, and the light was as clear as promised. The night was getting darker. Jia Huan sent someone to send Daiyu back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion of the Grand View Garden. At this time, the maids sent from all over Jiafu to visit and care for Jia Huan left gifts, oral messages, and a conversation with Jia Huan, and then left.

The movement and waves in Jiafu gradually calmed down. In the big situation, the emotions of tension and anxiety have changed back to relaxation, relief, joy and expectation.

Jia Huan's Huiyuan was not deprived by the imperial court, which is gratifying. And tomorrow is the temple test. Huiyuan, according to convention, will not fall out of the top 10. Jia Huan will definitely be a high-profile scholar of the government and the opposition, and even Hanlin. This is something to look forward to.

So the big picture. The people of Jiafu intuitively feel the unpredictable climate in Beijing. Of course, there are some people who have some subtle emotions. For example, Jia Yu, he vented his depression in the concubine's room at night. For example, Mrs. Wang, she chanted in front of Jia Zheng at night: The eldest girl (Jia Yuanchun) is now more and more towards Brother Huan'er, what will Baoyu do in the future?

However, these are no longer the big picture of Jia Fu. People's hearts are back, and it is not clear in a few words.

In the pear fragrance courtyard, the cheeks of Baochai are slightly red, such as dyed rouge, and it is magnificent. On the side of the exquisite case, I looked at the letterhead that Xiangling brought back, on which was Jia Huan's elegant willow body: Let my sister worry, I can't feel at ease. I want to see my sister. However, why is it difficult to meet? Only send it in a few words. He cut the candles of the west window every day, and then talked about the bright moon today.

The Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin wrote a poem to his wife during his travels, a famous sentence through the ages. Night rain sent north: Ask about the return date is not due, and the night rain in Bashan rises in the autumn pool. He cut the candles in the west window together, but when it rained at night in Bashan. Write about my wife, and imagine the happiness and leisurely time when I spend time with my wife.

Baochai is full of poetry and books, and her talent is outstanding. Jia Huan's sentence "He cut the candle of the west window every day", the meaning of this, missing, how not to let Baochai's feelings surge?

The two girls who share the first beauty of the Red Mansion have a comparable status in Jia Huan's heart. In the face of sudden changes, the situation is twists and turns, and Baochai and Daiyu are worried. He comforted, cared for, and pitied Sister Lin; For Sister Bao, it is guilt, respect, and love.

In the main room of Ning Guofu, bright candles are burning at night. Qin Keqing listened to the words brought back by the treasure bead, "Say to your grandmother, thank you for your concern." I'm fine here. Uh..., I want her to take care of her body, think less and move more, and don't be depressed or depressed. Wait for me a while, and after the palace exam, I'll solve her problem. ”

After Baozhu finished speaking, he saw that his grandmother had a contemplative expression on her face, and persuaded with a smile: "Grandma, when the third master said this, his expression was very gentle. He said that if it can be solved, it will definitely be possible. ”

Qin Keqing's face was suddenly full of crimson, charming as a flower, and she was like a young woman, and she said, "Little hooves chewing on your tongue, why don't you go and bring hot water?" I'm going to wash my face and go to sleep. ”

Uncle Huan's words of concern made her feel very warm and close to her. She is not a very assertive character, what will she do in the future, thinking about it, she is sad. But she trusts Uncle Huan. Baozhu, this girl, always thinks of something messy.

Uncle Huan said that he wanted her to wait for him, could it mean something else? Although Uncle Huan is very calm, he does big things, he is the head of the family in the two mansions, and his words count, but how old is he? Younger than her brother.

Baozhu and Qin Keqing are masters and servants who share life and death, Qin Keqing scolded her, she was not afraid, grinned, turned around and went out.

With Uncle Rong's temperament, he is afraid that the third master will die of fear, and he will definitely not take back the letter of resignation. After grandma returns to the Qin family, will the third master help her marry a family who doesn't know the roots? What should I do if I meet someone like Uncle Rong's father and son again? Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

It's better to leave the house and live separately, with the third master at the top and his younger brother Qin Zhong at the bottom. Isn't this life safe?

…

…

In the autumn season, Tanchun wandered under the eaves of the porch, and after waiting for a long time, he saw the eldest maid coming back, so he asked, "How is the third brother doing?" ”

Seeing that his girl was waiting in a hurry, the waiter hurriedly replied: "Girl, the third master is fine, and he is in a good mood." The Imperial Court also made two poems: The twilight is vast and pine, and the chaotic clouds are still calm. I went back to the garden with Miss Lin, Zijuan, Raider, and Qingwen, and made the girl wait for a long time. ”

Tanchun is such a sensitive person, she knows everything about Daiyu and Jia Huan, based on her speculation, Sister Bao probably also knows, seeing that her younger brother is still in the mood to write such a calm and heroic poem, she put her mind at ease and said with a smile: "You know I've been waiting for a long time, and I won't come back sooner." Let's go, rest. ”

In Daoxiang Village, Li Kun was doing needlework alone under the lamp, thinking about his son Jia Lan, who had gone to Dongzhuang Town. I don't know the habits that I can't live with, how is the food, have I lost weight? At this time, the sound of the little maids talking sounded outside, and Li Kun looked up and saw Su Yun coming in from outside.

Su Yun was holding a box in his hand, and said with a smile: "Grandma, the gift for the third master has been delivered." The third master returned the salute. Mochizuki Curie was really lively just now. I came back with Miss Lin and the others. ”

Li Kun was also a little infected by Su Yun's happy emotions, you can imagine the joy in the house tonight, the Huan brothers are Huiyuan! Tomorrow is the temple exam. Nodding with a smile, he said, "Leave it alone." I hope that the ring brothers will take a good ranking tomorrow. In the future, Lan'er will have him to take care of. The journey is smoother. ”

Su Yun smiled and said, "Grandma, that's it." Now the house is saying that the third master will win the champion tomorrow! ”

Li Kun was slightly distracted, such a young champion? Thinking about it, I feel like a legend. A gentle smile, beautiful and elegant.

…

…

Jiafu West Road, Sister Feng's courtyard. Ping'er came back from Mochizuki Curie and found that the second master Lian, who was still at home just now, was gone, and the second grandmother sat on the chair sulking.

Wang Xifeng is wearing a pale pink gown at home, with crisp breasts and tall breasts, and the charm of a beautiful young woman. It's just that after removing the makeup, no one is as pink and glamorous as before, bright and moving. Seeing Ping'er coming back, he said, "But it's all sent?" ”

Ping'er nodded and replied, "Well, the third master thanked him." Returned the salute. I was out of the way. ”

Wang Xifeng's face was a little better, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Our master can't compare to Brother Rong and Brother Qiang in the East Mansion." It's okay now, in front of Brother Huan in the future, I'm afraid that the two of them will be more favored. ”

She just had a fight with Jia Lian. Jia Lian went out. She blamed Jia Lian for refusing to speak in front of Jia Huan when Jia Huan was in trouble, but gave Jia Rong and Jia Qiang the first place. I heard that Jia Rong did the matter of notifying the concubines in the palace.

Jia Lian choked her, saying that she wasn't also gloating these days and waiting to see a good show? her off!

Ping'er persuaded a few words to soothe her grandmother's somewhat panicked emotions. Because, this time, the true face of many people was measured. And the third master has always been very dark. But, in her opinion, the third master may not be good to his two masters. Of course, rifts are inevitable.

…

…

Three watches in the middle of the night, even at the turn of spring and summer, is still a little uncomfortable. In the gatehouse at the gate of Jiafuyi, Jia Rui, who had been sent to watch the vigil for several days, was talking to a doorman, bragging, and elated, "Made, Shan Daliang, that dog thing, I usually can't see it, but now I can see it." Those who know that labor and management are the third masters, and dare to rectify labor and management. Phew, what the hell! Tomorrow he dares to arrange another labor vigil, and labor and management will dare to make a fuss. What does Second Master Lian say? ”

The trivial matters outside Jia's mansion were all discussed by Jia Lian and several big housekeepers.

Menzi smiled, "Uncle Rui, this is missing the daughter-in-law of the family." ”

Speaking of his wife, Jia Rui smiled and scolded with a smile: "Get out of the way to labor and management!" ”

…

…

In the thirteenth year of Yongzhi, the Enke Temple test was held on March 23. Before this, even though the capital and the court were paying attention to Jia Huan and Fang Wang's imperial examination fraud cases, the preparations were not delayed.

The procedures of selecting and reading papers, drafting questions, determining the topics of the Son of Heaven, and printing papers have been prepared in an orderly manner.

A word of caution is needed. The palace examination is nominally the Son of Heaven to take the judges, that is, the Son of Heaven is the chief examiner, so the ministers who assist in the selection of scholars are called the paper readers. You can't call the marker or the examiner. The Son of Heaven is the biggest! Who dares to be on par with the Son of Heaven?

Of course, as we all know, the chief examiner of the Son of Heaven is nominal, and he only looks at the ten test papers with the best scores selected by the circle of paper readers, and determines the ranking of the top three tripods.

The number of examiners varies from dynasty to dynasty. The dynasty was set as: a total of fourteen people. The conditions for being selected as a paper reader are very simple: it must be Zaifu and Jiuqing. Don't even think about status. The waiters of the three grades have to stand aside.

Of course, the officials of the Zhan Mansion and the Hanlin Academy can also be selected. The so-called, the officials of the hall, such as: Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, Shao Zhan Shi, the head of the Hanlin Academy, the bachelor of the attendant, and the bachelor of the scholar. Hanlin is a scholar who is well educated, and he still has a very high status in the imperial examination.

Before dawn on the 23rd, Jia Huan took two long entourages and took a carriage from Mochizuki to the left gate of Chang'an.

The Yimao Kedian test is about to begin.
