The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Rongguo Mansion, Rongxi Hall.

Although it was getting late, there were still no empty seats in Rongxi Hall.

Jia Jue's participation in the palace examination was a significant event of far-reaching significance for the entire Jia family and even Shi Wang Xue and other in-laws.

Therefore, many prominent members of the Jia family gathered here, waiting for the news from the palace.

Even Wang Ziteng, Xue Pan, and Jiamu's nephew Zhongjinghou Shi Ding all came.

In the inner hall, all the female relatives were also anxiously waiting for news of Jia Jue.

Seeing everyone in Jia's family showing uneasy looks, Shi Ding tried to persuade him:

"You don't need to worry, with Brother Jue's talent, it's not a problem if you want to be in the top two."

Wang Ziteng glanced at Shi Ding, and he could not stop slandering: "Second Jia? I'm afraid you haven't been cured by this bastard. As long as this kid makes a move, all the benefits will be his, and Er Jia is in his eyes."

However, he couldn't say it directly, he could only say tactfully: "Master Hou's words are wrong, Ziyu should be ranked first this time."

Everyone in Jia's mansion was surprised and delighted by what he said. They didn't expect that Wang Ziteng had such confidence in Jia Jue.

Jia's mother said quickly: "Master Wang's reputation is too high. If you don't ask for a first-class one, a second-class one is enough."

Wang Ziteng sighed slightly. It seems that among the four major families, only he, Wei Shi, and his two younger sisters know Jia Jue's true face.

"What my aunt said is that Brother Jue's Erjia should be easy to catch. When the time comes, he will be ordered to Hanlin, polished for three to five years, and make up for the lack of sixth-rank, from the real lack of sixth-rank. He has a bright future. It may not be ten years later, I'm afraid No less than Yu Cunzhou." Shi Ding said.

Mother Jia laughed when she heard the words: "Okay, okay. It's enough to be similar to Mr. Zheng, and the fifth grade is enough."

Jia Zheng was a fifth-rank Yuanwailang, which in later generations would be equivalent to a deputy director, which is indeed not small.

Moreover, if Jia Jue came out of the Hanlin Academy, even if the official position was only from the fifth rank, it would definitely not be an idle official position, with a bright future and great potential.

Shi Ding said to Jia's mother with a little envy: "It's still my aunt who teaches well."

The Shi family is Jia's mother's natal family, and Jia's mother and even Jia's family have been helping them all these years. It's a pity that although the two brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding are noble lords, they are not good at management, and have never raised any outstanding children. Even in their hands, the historian family is constantly declining, and even a young lady like Shi Xiangyun has to rely on needlework to subsidize her family.

If the historian could have an outstanding son like Jia Jue, the historian would not be so depressed.

At this moment, a small voice sounded: "Why doesn't anyone think that the third brother can be admitted to the first prize?"

Although this remark was small, it happened to be said in the gap between Shi Ding's speech, and everyone listened to it seriously.

Everyone followed the prestige, but saw that the speaker was a half-grown boy, Jia Huan.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How can it be so easy to get the number one scholar!" Jia Zheng scolded quickly.

Although he secretly hoped that Jia Jue would win the number one prize, but this was just his wish, how could he say it in public?

It's not that he doesn't believe in Jia Jue's strength. It's because he has been in the officialdom. He knows that being the number one scholar is not only about talent and learning. It has something to do with the game behind it. It has nothing to do with King Zhongshun.

Although Jia Jue is talented, there is no one behind him to support him. Although Wang Ziteng has a high position, he is a military officer after all, and he is still at home, so he cannot give Jia Jue strong support.

On the other hand, among the other scholars, although Wei Yuan was expelled, there are not a few who have connections and resources.

Shi Ding quickly persuaded: "Why do Cun Zhou get angry? There is no taboo in children's words. Scholars, who doesn't want to win the first prize?"

Jia Huan was also afraid of Jia Zheng. Seeing Jia Zheng scolding him, he shrank his head subconsciously, but he still muttered:
"For a person as powerful as Third Brother, is it difficult to win the number one prize?"

Jia Zheng was about to reprimand, but Shi Ding stopped him with a smile.

He asked Jia Huan, "Tell me, how powerful is your third brother?"

Jia Huan opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. He promised Jia Jue that he couldn't tell outsiders what happened before.

Seeing this, Shi Ding smiled: "Brother Huan and Brother Jue have a very strong relationship."

He took Jia Huan's words as blind admiration and trust in Jia Jue.

Jia Huan looked at him with a depressed expression on his face.

On the contrary, Wang Ziteng took a meaningful look at Jia Huan, and secretly felt that there are so many people in Jia's house, but they are not as clear as a child.

In fact, his positioning of Jia Jue is to be a flower.

The number one pick is too variable, after all, it is related to certain games, but Tanhua, with Jia Jue's strength, is still no problem.Maybe, with better luck, he could still compete for the second place.

At this moment, a young servant ran into the hall out of breath:
"Old lady, gentlemen, there is a letter from the palace!"

Mother Jia quickly stood up and asked nervously, "How is it? Brother Jue is a second-class man?"

The boy was taken aback, then quickly shook his head: "No."

When he shook his head, the hearts of everyone in the hall fell in unison.

The expressions of the girls in the inner hall also changed.

"Could it be the top three?" Jiamu murmured.

Although she said before that she didn't care about Jia Jue's grades, at this time, she still cared very much.

Born as a Jinshi, although he is also eligible to enter the Imperial Academy, he still has to pass many exams, the variables are greater, and his potential is not strong.

Hearing this, the young man quickly shook his head again.

Mother Jia turned pale when she heard the words, she wasn't even a top three, did something happen?Wouldn't it be a failure?

Not only her, but other people in the field also had the same expression.

Wang Ziteng shook his head and laughed: "Why does Ziyu have to be second and third? Why can't he be first?"

what?
Mother Jia let out a soft cry, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is it really Yijia?"

Wang Ziteng said to the boy: "In my opinion, it is definitely a case of Tanhua."

The boy still shook his head.

Wang Ziteng was taken aback: "Could it be the second place?"

The boy still shook his head.

"Could it be..." Jia Zheng exclaimed excitedly, his eyes widened, his face was flushed, and his beard trembled.

The boy nodded: "Third master won three yuan in a row! High school champion!"

The field fell silent immediately, everyone's faces showed excitement and joy, and the girls in the back hall were even more excited.

Snapped!
Shi Ding slapped his forehead and smiled wryly: "I underestimated Brother Jue!"

He thought that Jia Jue's ranking in the second place was pretty good, but he didn't expect him to win the first place directly.

"Who are the No. [-] and Tanhua?" Wang Ziteng asked hastily.

But who would have thought that the boy shook his head again.

"What does this mean? You don't know?" Wang Ziteng frowned.

The servant hurriedly explained: "No, no."

what?
Everyone in the arena looked at him in amazement, one person and three people is the rule, why not?
The boy hurriedly told the ins and outs of the matter.

After everyone heard this, Qi Qi showed a look of astonishment.

Unexpectedly, no one can compete with Jia Jue?
What an honor this is.

Unprecedented in the country, unprecedented in history!
Shi Ding was stunned, he never thought that Jia Jue was so powerful.

Yes, he finally understood what Jia Huan said just now!
This is not blind trust and admiration at all, it is Jia Jue who is really outstanding!
Wang Ziteng was also stunned. He didn't expect that Jia Jue could squeeze out everyone and occupy the top spot. This made him see Jia Jue's strength again.

He originally had some small plans in his heart, but he extinguished any unrealistic thoughts.

The Jia family members were also stunned. They never thought that Jia Jue could do this. At this moment, they suddenly felt that it was their honor to be of the same clan as Jia Jue!
"Good! Good! Good!" Jia Zheng shouted excitedly, and his beard was pulled off a lot by himself.

And Mother Jia laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.

"Congratulations, Auntie, brother Jue will definitely be able to enter the Imperial Academy this time, and his future is limitless!" Shi Ding sighed enviously.

Just as Jia's mother was about to speak, the young servant said, "Master Hou, the third master will not enter the Imperial Academy."

what?
Everyone was stunned, isn't it the rule for the Imperial Academy to confer the number one scholar on the draft?

Is there something wrong with this?

"Why?" Jia Zheng asked hastily.

The servant hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty appointed the third master as the 'Emperor's Servant', and he is from the fifth grade!"

hum!
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, their faces were full of astonishment.

Shi Ding and Wang Ziteng opened their mouths even more, unable to recover for a long time, how could they not know what this five-rank emperor servant represented?
Shi Ding's face was even more ashamed and ashamed. Just now he said that it would take more than ten years for Jia Jue to be as good as Jia Zheng.

But Jia Jue told him with reality, what more than ten years?He doesn't need it for a year!
His starting point is from the fifth grade!

"My son, really..." He opened his mouth, thought for a long time, and finally said a word, "Monster."

Apart from this word, he really couldn't find an adjective.

"Hahahahaha!"

At this moment, Jia Zheng, who has always been mature and prudent, suddenly burst out laughing, and he shouted:
"From now on, my Jia family will be proud of this son!"
