Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 615 Who Is Not A Talent These Years?
Therefore, Jia Zheng wholeheartedly hoped that Baoyu could be admitted as a scholar at the age of seven, a candidate at the age of ten, and a Jinshi at the age of 13.Whether you say he is too high-minded or arrogant, or that he is crazy and insane, that's what Jia Zheng thinks.And another characteristic of Jia Zheng is that he is too persistent.

If a persistent person decides on something, sometimes it is actually quite scary.He wholeheartedly hoped that Baoyu could live as he wanted, but he didn't expect Baoyu to be too incompetent when he was young. He didn't like reading to the extreme, and he liked to hang out with sisters and maids.He doesn't like anything as long as it's something that girls like, such as fat-adjusting and powdering, fighting grass and hairpins.

This made Jia Zheng so angry that every time he saw him, he would give Baoyu a good reprimand, and when he got so angry, he would beat him with a board.It's not because he doesn't love this son, but because of the deep responsibility of love. He not only loves, but also loves him too much. He loves Baoyu so much that he puts such an impossible expectation on him, which is a bit magical. Startled.

So later, with Li Zhixing's suggestion, Baoyu finally made an improvement in his studies. Jia Zheng was still very happy, but when he thought about it, he didn't do what he thought, and he was admitted as a scholar at the age of seven. , I feel it's a pity in my heart, he always thinks that a child from a merchant's family can pass the examination for a scholar at the age of eight, and you are a child of the government of our country, so you were born with a jade title, how could you not be able to do it?

And this year, Baoyu naturally passed the examination as a scholar as everyone expected, but he was already 17 years old.Mai said he couldn't compare to the child prodigy Xue Hong, and even his own brother Jia Zhu, who was admitted as a scholar at the age of 14, couldn't compare.Therefore, although this scholar is worthy of joy, it is not an earth-shattering event for Jia Zheng. He thinks that this is a task that Baoyu will definitely be able to complete. He did not expect that it has been postponed for so long, but he feels very awkward.

But Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang didn't think so, they were so happy that they almost jumped high.It was spring when Baoyu was admitted as a scholar. At that time, although the empress dowager was ill, she could still get out of bed, and it was not that serious.So when the family entertained relatives and friends for a banquet, Jia's mother arranged a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, and Jia's mansion was so lively that it was about to be set alight.

This is what happened before.The day when Feng Ziying and others came to Jia's mansion was actually around July, and the township examination was about to start.The township examination is Qiuwei, which is held in August every year.Everyone waited for Liu Xianglian's delay in coming, and remembered that Jia Zhu was not in good health, which led to so many stories today.

The township examination is the examination of candidates. This is serious. From here on, the relevant officials of the imperial court at all levels in charge of the imperial examination must be very serious. No one dares to tamper with it. If they are found out, it will be a serious crime of losing their heads. Well, the eyes of Confucian scholars all over the country are sharpened. The status of Confucian scholars is like modern media, even much more powerful than today's media.

But if there is anything bad or inappropriate in society or in the court, or something that offends the interests of a certain class, no matter how big or small, as long as the Confucian scholars all over the world know it, they think it is bad or unreasonable If you don't agree with etiquette, you won't be able to escape the curse of Confucian scholars!

The scolding voices of these Confucian scholars are different from the keyboard warriors on the modern Internet. They use the Spring and Autumn method of scolding, citing scriptures and classics, talking about the past and the present, and scolding is so literate.Often Confucian scholars would be impassioned about one thing, scolding them with furious pens, and then there would be small gatherings like poetry clubs, where everyone would collect all the articles and select those that were particularly scolding. Okay, I found someone to copy it out and spread it all over the world, and some even published it in the residence newspaper.The mansion newspaper is amazing. It can be said that it was the newspaper at that time. Every day, someone passed it quickly, and there were also special people who printed and circulated it. This is the official unified one. The yamen that specializes in mansion newspapers.Every day, major events that happened in the capital, or the important content of the intercepted memorials, were mass-produced by movable type printing, and sent everywhere.If there is an article by that Confucian scholar who can be published in the mansion newspaper, it will show his face.

Remember the Jiangnan Examination Case?It was the huge fraud case that Lord Kangxi sent Lin Ruhai, Zhang Penghe and others to Jiangnan to investigate a few years ago. At that time, Confucian scholars all over the world were blown up.Some articles were passed on to Lord Kangxi, and even Lord Kangxi felt his heart skip a beat when he read them.Scolding too much!
Therefore, starting from the rural examination, this is the official imperial examination. No one dares to be negligent, and no one dares to cheat, especially the sensational Jiangnan imperial examination case occurred only six or seven years ago. Dare to make mistakes.

Among these young masters, besides Jia Baoyu and Jia Zhu, who had achieved fame as scholars, there were also big family members Jia Lian, Qin Zhong and Liu Xianglian.

Jia Lian's knowledge is indeed a bit inferior. He is a good hand in Jibianyan, but he is slightly inferior in reading and composition. His qualifications cannot be compared with Baoyu, Xue Hong and others, but he is very hardworking. He used all the contacts in the imperial examination that he could use, so Jia Lian's imperial examination process can be regarded as the most normal and common example.He failed the examination six years ago. Li Zhixing saw that he was not ready, so he held him down for a few years and did not take part in the imperial examinations. It was only this year that he said that Jia Lian's time had come and told him to give it a try.

As for Qin Zhong, the road to the imperial examination was actually smoother.He can be regarded as studying since he was a child, and he was much better than Jia Baoyu when he was a child, and he was also a child of Zhongling. Although there were some changes in his family, he never stopped his homework.Later, I was also fortunate to meet such a good teacher as Li Zhixing, and my knowledge improved by leaps and bounds. I passed the Tongsheng Examination at the same time as Baoyu.

Then there is Liu Xianglian.

As I said earlier, Liu Xianglian was successful in martial arts, and it was not impossible to read and write, but it was a little harder than others, even Jia Lian.He was also obsessed with wanting to glorify his ancestors, the Liu family has guarded himself as a male for several generations, how could he wait for his beard and gray to get any fame?

So Liu Xianglian, like Feng Ziying, took the martial arts exam.He has also passed the Wutong Entrance Examination, and he is a martial arts scholar. If he comes back this year, he should also take the Wuxiang Examination.The Wenxiang Examination and the Wuxiang Examination are one after the other. Those who have finished the Wen test should take the Wu test.

Then the exam is the exam. Why did Feng Ziying and the others come to persuade Jia Zheng not to let him go to the exam room because Jia Zhu is not in good health, and let him rest at home?
