Across the heavens in the Red Mansion

Chapter 25
Jia Lang, who came back from Lixiangyuan, sat back in his small courtyard.

Jia Lang thought back on what he did in Lixiangyuan, and it was really a bit frivolous.

Just relying on my gaffe when facing Xue Baochai, it was completely a loss of points, and the impression I left in front of Xue Baochai was also very bad.

However, after thinking about it, Jia Lang also let go of his little excitement towards Xue Baochai.

To put it bluntly, Jia Lang's liking for Xue Baochai at this time is nothing more than pure liking for beautiful things.

Just as Jia Baoyu loves all beautiful women, Jia Baoyu only loves Lin Daiyu from beginning to end.

Besides, at this time Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue wanted to match Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai into a couple.

Jia Lang calmed down and corrected his mentality. What he saw and felt in Lixiangyuan was not love at first sight for Xue Baochai.

It's just that I happened to meet that person who is not bad in every aspect at the right age, which just made my heart beat for a while.

Sitting down, Jia Lang smiled, and let everything take its course.

One day has passed.

Jia Lang went to the school the next day, and this third day was the day to report to the school.

So Jia Lang had breakfast early in the morning, didn't even practice boxing, and arrived at the academy in a carriage early in the morning.

Regardless of whether Jia Lang has obtained the golden finger that can allow people to travel through the heavens or not, his wish during the 16 years in the Great Zhou Dynasty has never changed. Jia Lang attaches great importance to entering the academy.

When Jia Lang came to the school, there were already several carriages tied up beside the trees on both sides of the school road, and there were scattered rookies wearing new robes of cloth or silk on the road.

When Jia Lang got off the carriage and entered the Gongyuan, the first thing he saw was a statue of Confucius, and behind the statue were several small tile-roofed houses.

In front of the small tile-roofed house was a pair of long cases, and a person was sitting in front of the long case, and scholars in new clothes were queuing up in front of the long case.

Looking at the long line in front of him, Jia Lang happened to see an acquaintance, it was Song Xun and the others, who were about to go up to say hello before Jia Lang had time.

He saw an official in a green robe come out of the small tile-roofed house, and shouted loudly at Jia Lang and his group.

"Anyone who has completed the report shall wait in front of the holy image."

Hearing what the green-robed official said, Jia Lang couldn't go up to Song Xun and the others to catch up on the old days, so Jia Lang queued up behind the long queue, waiting for the report.

After about half an hour, the other students finished reporting, and it was Jia Lang's turn. After Jia Lang registered his personal situation, the person sitting in front of the long case handed Jia Lang a number plate .

After about an hour, after the report was completed, the green-robed official introduced himself. It was none other than Zhao Zhongzheng, the professor of Shuntian Prefecture's Fu Studies.

After Zhao Zhongzheng finished his self-introduction, it was time for scholars to go through the process. Zhao Zhongzheng led Jia Lang and his party to pay homage to the statue of Confucius first, and then read the things that Jia Lang and others should pay attention to when studying in the government school. There are all the benefits of this student.

The current situation of the prefectural schools in the Great Zhou Dynasty is that students can voluntarily study in the prefectural schools. The main reason for this is the rise of the colleges. Some people choose to study in outside colleges, so they don’t have to come to the colleges to study.

There are also those who choose to study in the college, they can live in the dormitory of the government school, or not. Those selected by Jia Lang and Gu Yuan will move to study in the dormitory.

Although it will not force everyone to study in the academy.But there are still monthly, quarterly and yearly exams in the college.

The annual examination is also related to the welfare of the scholars themselves.

Therefore, Zhao Zhongzheng did not emphasize the need to study in the government school, but only emphasized the importance of monthly exams, quarterly exams, and yearly exams, and he must come to the government school when the exams come.

The content of the monthly exam is nothing more than a sentence or a paragraph of the "Four Books" to make an article.

This is not too difficult for Jia Lang. The content of "Four Books" has been kept in mind by Jia Lang during the 16 years of study.

As for the quarterly and yearly exams, they are nothing more than adding some forms and strategies to the monthly exams.

Let me talk about the benefits of the students in the Great Zhou Dynasty here. Scholars are also graded. Scholars are divided into three types: epigenetic, augmentative, and endogenous.

The epiphyte only has the most basic benefits of not worshiping officials and exempting from corvee.

As for Zengsheng and Rensheng, there are more benefits. There are six buckets of rice per month, which can be received every month, or they can be received together at the end of the year.

Jia Lang happened to get No.4 in the college examination this time, so he could just be ranked among the top students.

Of course, these six buckets of rice are nothing to Jia Lang, but it also symbolizes the results of Jia Lang's 16 years of hard work.

After saying this, Zhao Zhongzheng also waved to everyone and motioned for everyone to go to Qingyun Tower for a banquet to celebrate.

Afterwards, many students went to Qingyun Tower happily in groups of three or four, chatted and made friends with each other on the way, and praised each other countless times.

Jia Lang also found Song Xun and the others, greeted each other, and started communicating with each other.

On the way, Jia Lang did not talk to the scholars except Song Xun and others. In fact, Jia Lang was in a group of nobles like Jia Mansion, and he was the most hostile to these scholars. Even Song Xun and others were the most hostile. It is only by chance that people can become friends with Jia Lang.

As for those who want to find some members of the noble group among these scholars, it is too difficult.

After a while, Jia Lang and his party came to Qingyun Tower under the leadership of Zhao Zhongzheng. Looking outside, Qingyun Tower was indeed more elegant and spacious than the Qunfang Pavilion that Jia Lang went to before.

The reason why Zhao Zhongzheng chose this restaurant was precisely because Qingyunlou was more elegant in style, more suitable for literati to drink, and it was closer to the school, so it was spacious enough.

After entering the restaurant, Jia Lang, Song Xun and the group found a room with five other people and sat down. Ten people sat at one table, introduced themselves to each other, and exchanged pleasantries.

Gu Yuan and Fang Zheng both raised the cups in their hands and thanked Jia Lang with a smile.

"Brother Jia, thanks to you last time in Qunfang Pavilion, Qingyuan (Brother Fang) and I were able to be fine. Thank you very much."

When Jia Lang, who was sitting in the middle, saw this, he stood up and replied apologetically.

"Brother Fang and Brother Qingyuan, there is no need to say anything about this matter. I have nothing to thank. Last time I acted a little late, which caused the two of you to be pushed and shoved a few times by my old cousin."

"I am here to apologize to you on his behalf."

Although Xue Pan was responsible for this incident, afterward Song Xun and others also knew that Jia Lang and Xue Pan were family friends.

Song Xun and others may not necessarily vent their anger on Jia Lang, but Jia Lang still has to express his attitude to Song Xun and others, so as not to leave a knot in everyone's mind.

Sitting Song Xun, Li Tong and others, as well as other people who don't know the situation, are on the side.

Li Tong also stretched out his hand, pressed the three of them to sit down, and said.

"Alright, alright, since Qing Yuan and Brother Fang have already thanked Brother Jia, let's accept it."

"Brother Jia, don't be hypocritical. It's all because of Xue Pan. It has nothing to do with you. Even family friends can't blame you."

"Everyone is a sensible person. Today we only drink to celebrate and don't talk about anything else, just drink!"

Li Tong, who had talked a lot, raised his glass first and spoke to everyone.

The next few people passed by Li Tong's words, and they all raised their glasses and drank together.

Everyone drank wine and talked about those romantic things, what kind of poems, book clubs and so on.

Between the hu chips, the scene gradually became lively. Professor Zhao from the prefectural school and a few instructors came to this table and that table. It was so lively that it didn't end until the afternoon.

　Thank you Ye Luotianran, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, layman Qingyun, pine and cypress sleep forever, Ziyue, master of Jinghongju, stupid man, fool, Master Kun, willow one night with the wind, the flower in the deep forest, The recommendation votes cast by everyone in the Market Butterfly.
