Chapter 42 The Entrance Examination Meets Hou Hu
After Jia Qing saw that there was nothing to do, he was anxious to see this Liu Xianglian, so he withdrew from his seat in the name of going to the toilet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I asked a subordinate in the house and found the backstage of the drama troupe's makeup. After entering, the smell of pollen wafted to my nose, and young women and students were everywhere changing clothes and putting on makeup.
Since Jia Qing was a child, no one cared about him, and let him shuttle through it. Jia Qing looked east and west, and the focus of his gaze was usually three inches under the jaws of those beautiful girls.
Suddenly, he found a tall girl sitting in front of the dresser to remove her makeup, his eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward and accosted: "Hello sister, do you know where Liu Xianglian and Liu Xianggong are?" ā
The woman in front of her was stunned when she heard this, slowly turned her face, looked at the child in front of her, and asked, "Oh? I don't know what the little boy is looking for? ā
Jia Qing realized that something was wrong when he turned his face, wasn't this Liu Xianglian who sang on stage before? Jia Qing, who knew that he had made a mistake, immediately changed his words and said: "It turns out that Mr. is Liu Xianggong, and I didn't see it clearly just now, so it was the younger brother who was rude." ā
Liu Xianglian said that there was nothing to do, anyway, more than one person said that he was better than a woman by dressing up as a woman, and he didn't mind, and continued to ask: "Is there something wrong with the little boy looking for him?" ā
"It's fine...... I just heard of Brother Liu's name, and it happened that Brother Liu came to the house again, so I wanted to come and talk about it. Oh, by the way, the younger brother's name is Jia Qing, and he is from Ningguo's mansion. ā
A narrative? He knew that those sons were chasing him, but what could the kid in front of him who looked like he was no more than a teenager talk to him? Take a closer look, isn't this the kid you met with Sun Wu last time at the east end of Ningrong Street? However, this child looked like a gentleman that day, but today he is polite and decent, which is a little interesting!
"Then I don't know what Brother Jia wants to talk to me about?" Liu Xianglian asked curiously.
Jia Qing didn't know how to speak, so he couldn't tell him: Young Master Ben has taken a fancy to you, be my little brother! It's no wonder that it's not considered a neuropathy.
After thinking about it, Jia Qing decided to set up some friendship first, so he said: "Is Brother Liu's lifelong wish to marry a peerless woman?" ā
Liu Xianglian was surprised: "How did Brother Jia know?" ā
Jia Qing smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Liu, don't care where I learned about it...... I know that a peerless woman can be a good match for Brother Liu! ā
Liu Xianglian looked at Jia Qing with tears and laughter, she couldn't imagine that she would encounter such a thing, a little child mysteriously came to introduce her to herself, and she felt very funny when she thought about it.
"Oh, who is that Brother Bujia referring to? Whose family's daughter is it? ā
"It's not another portal, it's the sister-in-law of the eldest sister-in-law's family in the younger brother's house, who looks like a closed moon shy flower, and the sign is very ......," Jia Qing said with the face of a matchmaker.
He doesn't know if the current Third Sister You has seen Liu Xianglian, in the original book, Third Sister You said to his sister Second Sister You that he saw Liu Xianglian who was a child five years ago when he was doing birthday at their old mother's house, and Baoyu at that time should be the same as the fourteenth and fifteenth five-year, and now Jia Baoyu is less than nine years old, which is really hard to judge.
But he didn't want to match them, marriage is something to fight for by himself, both of them are responsible for the tragedy in the original book, Jia Qing will not let the tragedy happen at most at a critical time, but he doesn't want to be a matchmaker. Now he is just trying to hook Liu Xianglian's curiosity so that he can have more opportunities to make friends.
Hearing Jia Qing say this, Liu Xianglian was really moved and asked, "Really?" Brother Jia may introduce the foolish brother? "He was a reckless man, and he said it when he thought about it, and only then did he realize that it was wrong. How can these young ladies be seen when they see them!
Of course Jia Qing didn't care about this, and said when he heard this: "This is easy to say, but now she is not in our house, when she comes in the future, how about I introduce Brother Liu to him?" ā
Ignoring the awkwardness in her heart, Liu Xianglian said: "In this way, I have thanked Brother Jia first...... and suddenly he asked again: "Why does Brother Jia help me Liu so much?" ā
Jia Qing laughed and said: "The first time I saw Brother Liu, my face was kind, and I often heard that Brother Liu was both civil and military, and the younger brother admired him and wanted to become friends with Brother Liu, I don't know what Brother Liu wants?" ā
This Liu Xianglian was also more willful on the opposite side, and she didn't twist it, and said directly: "What's so difficult about this, I think Brother Jia is also a person in temperament, why don't we be called brothers in the future?" ā
Jia Qing smiled, bowed and said, "Little brother has seen Brother Liu!" ā
"Brother Xian, please get up quickly."
After a pleasantry, Jia Qing asked, "I wonder where the little brother will be able to find Brother Liu in the future?" Liu Xianglian said: "I have been living in the opera troupe recently, and I usually live in the Wuyi Lane of the cross street of Shunde Fang on weekdays, and the foolish brother bought a small courtyard there, and the virtuous brother can go there to find me in the future." ā
ā¦ā¦
After saying goodbye to Liu Xianglian, Jia Qing returned to the banquet table to watch the play for a while, and soon after the play was over, the banquet was dispersed, and Jia Qing returned to Yipintang.
It is celebrating the fifth year, and it is early in the morning of the eighteenth day of the first month.
"Go ahead, take the exam well, and try to be assigned to Class C."
At the east corner gate of Ningguo Mansion, a beautiful carriage was parked on the side of the street, and Jia Jing made a final admonition to Jia Qing on the side.
The lively year in Jiafu is almost over, and today is the day when Jia Qing takes the entrance exam for Guozijian.
The way of celebrating the New Year in Jiafu is that you invite me to eat and drink today, and I invite you to watch a play tomorrow, which is not very interesting. But yesterday was Jia Qing's birthday, and Jia Baoyu brought his sisters over to celebrate his birthday, but he had a lot of fun.
With his current status, celebrating his birthday is probably just a matter of the sisters having fun together, and the elders will not care, on the other hand, Jia Zhen's birthday, although he can't feast guests, he will also invite the masters of the two mansions to set up a table.
This also made Jia Qing even more determined to enter the strategy of studying in the country, as long as he can succeed in his studies, his status in Jiafu can rise again, to the point where he can finally compete with Jia Zhen.
And what Jia Jing said about striving to enter Class C is not a high requirement, these days, Jia Qing has also figured out the establishment of Guozijian. It is divided into four classes, A, B, C, D, class A is the highest, and each class needs to take a level test.
The so-called Ding class is the children of powerful people under the age of twelve, and they belong to the doll class. Those who are older than 12 years old are admitted to the Guozijian from Class C.
At the age of eight years old, Jia Qing should also enter Class D, but Jia Jing hopes that Jia Qing will enter Class C to start, because he feels that Jia Qing's foundation is already very solid and he does not have to waste time in Class D.
"Got it, the child will do his best!"
After saying goodbye to Jia Jing, Jia Qing turned around and got into the carriage, led by Lai Sheng, accompanied by Li Yan Wang Shun, to Guozijian.
In fact, it is very easy for children of eunuchs and powerful families like them to enter the Guozijian, and the entrance exam is just a formality.
But it is more difficult for the children of other schools and private schools to enter the country, and the recommendation is a major means of restriction, so where is it so easy for poor children to get a recommendation? After all, the Guozijian can only accommodate so many people, but those people are often the ones with real knowledge.
When I arrived at the main gate of Guozijian, I saw that there was already a long queue at the place where I was registered.
Jia Qing consciously walked over to line up, Lai Sheng came over and said, "Second master, we can go directly to get the number, we don't have to queue up here......"
Jia Qing was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted that he was a privileged class, and he could cut the queue in a bright and bright way. But as soon as I wanted to go in early, I waited, so I said to Lai Sheng: "It's okay, it's quite comfortable for the spring wind to blow, I still want to stay outside." ā
Lai Sheng felt the slight cold wind on his face, and he didn't know how to get comfortable...... But since the young master said so, he didn't object, and said: "Then I'll line up for the second master, the second master can just go to the side and blow the wind......" Jia Qing thought about it, and didn't object!
"Why didn't this benevolent brother go directly to report, but instead asked the housekeeper to line up?"
Jia Qing had just returned to the sedan chair and was about to chat with Li Yan about Shuang'er, when a voice with the breath of middle two thought behind him.
Jia Qing turned around and saw that a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed gorgeously, followed by two young men, was looking at him with curiosity.
In the past few years, because Jia Qing has developed well, his physique looks not much worse than the young man in front of him, so he is called Brother Jia Qingren.
Jia Qing asked rhetorically: "Isn't Brother Tai also waiting here?" And why do you ask me? ā
"Oh, I'm taking care of the emotions of these scholars, originally we are upper-level people who are here to go through the motions, wouldn't it be too high-profile to cut in line? Others will be jealous, alas, I am such a kind person, thinking about others everywhere...... What about you? ā
Jia Qing was speechless, this kid feels so good about himself! I don't know how his parents educated him......
"En~ I'm as kind as my brother! By the way, haven't you asked your brother Taigui's surname yet? ā
"Well, why should everyone care about my family background and not my handsome appearance? Forget it, the world is just a layman, so why should I force it......
The younger brother's name is Hou Hu, and his father, Hou Xiaokang, is now on an errand in the Military Aircraft Pavilion. By the way, my grandfather's name is Hou Ming, that's right, it's Hou Ming, the Xiuguo Duke of the Founding Eighth Prince, in fact, these are not the point, the point is that I am very handsome, don't you notice? ā
Jia Qing had already found out that this buddy was a tease, so he cheered and said: "This was actually discovered when the younger brother first saw the brother's platform, but he didn't have time to talk about this problem urgently......"
Hou Hu was excited, and suddenly grabbed Jia Qing's shoulders and said, "Really? Oh my God, after so many years, I finally found someone with the same incomparable aesthetic as me, and I will never be lonely in my life...... By the way, I haven't asked what is the name of Brother Tai? Which house is the son? ā
Jia Qing deliberately teased this Hou Hu, and said modestly: "Junior brother Jia Qing, his family background is far from that of Brother Hou, so don'......t talk about it."
Hou Hu was really puzzled when he heard this, and muttered, "Jia Qing? I haven't heard of a family surnamed Jia in Beijing, but the second duke of Ning Rong, the head of the eight princes, is surnamed Jia......"
Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the smile in Jia Qing's eyes. Thanks to this kid, he was not too stupid, knowing that he might have been "calculated", he asked, "But from Ningrong and Rong?" ā
Jia Qing smiled and nodded.
Hou Hu's face suddenly turned a little red, but he was a broad-hearted person, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the son of Jiafu, but he still said that it was far worse than my family, isn't this a joke that I deliberately want to see as a brother?" ā
Listening to this buddy automatically upgrade the title to "brother", Jia Qing was not disgusted, too, the descendants of the four kings and eight princes can indeed be regarded as world friends, and the children are closer to each other than other families.
Jia Qing also smiled and said, "Didn't Brother Hou also say that these are not the point?" It just so happens that the younger brother is also very confident in his appearance, and believes that he can conquer the world without borrowing his family background......"
Hou Hu was stunned, he didn't expect Jia Qing to be a wonderful person, he understood his "humor", and his heart was suddenly much closer.
