Jia's mother tossed and turned in bed all night, all she could think about was how to choose her favorite granddaughter-in-law from these few people.When she got up the next day, she still hadn't come to a conclusion, but instead added a bruise to the underside of her eye sockets.

Yuanyang looked at her like this, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed: "Old lady, you should still pay attention to your body. If you knew this earlier, the servant should not have given you that booklet—"

"It's already in my hands, so don't try to take it away," Mother Jia patted her arm and sighed, "I'll have to wait until I give this little friend the last bit of care.... ..”

She flipped through the thin booklet in just a few days, and the mandarin ducks who read it could only shake their heads and sigh, and for a moment couldn't help but sigh how much Jiamu cared about Baoyu.

Because of the sleepless night, Jia Mu was also a little bit out of spirits, and she was getting old and didn't want to move any more, so she set meals in this room.Yuanyang brought the bird's nest porridge with rock sugar that had been boiled for three hours in the small kitchen, and paired with the hot and sour duck feet and duck letter that was bad a few days ago, the salty taste became more and more delicious.

Just took a few sips, and suddenly heard a girl from outside the door come in and say: "Old lady, the son of the protector of the country just ordered someone to send some things, and now they are all unloaded at the door. The boys on the other side of the door let the slaves come Let me ask you, how do you think you can deal with it?"

"The protector's son?"

Mother Jia put away the white porcelain spoon in her hand, squinted her eyes and thought for a while, only to recall the flawless face that was born yesterday.She frowned and asked, "Who is it for?"

The girl bowed her head and said respectfully: "The ones for Mr. Bao have already been transported to Mr. Bao's room, and the remaining half of the car is for the old lady."

Jia Mu was really puzzled in her heart, but now that all the things have arrived in front of the house, it is not easy to take back the good intentions of others, so she had to say: "In this case, order people to move in, and give the driver two taels of silver more." Boy."

The maid readily responded, and soon after, a confidant of Jia Mu's confidant counted these things into the account, and submitted the list to Jia Mu's case.Not only the 500-year-old mountain ginseng, the first-class bird's nest, and the best Cordyceps are written on it...there is also a top-grade crocodile tent that is famous for its thinness and clarity. It looks like a layer of mist has condensed in the room, and it is a good thing that is incomparable to the usual soft smoke in Jia's mansion.At a glance, they are all things that are hard to find.

Even a well-informed person like Jia's mother can't help admiring the list.What's rare is that these gifts are not only expensive, but also exactly in line with her wishes, something she loves or needs.

"Back to the old lady," the servant girl said again, "There is also a genius doctor outside who is famous for his massage and acupuncture techniques, and he is best at making medicinal meals. He was recommended by the prince of the protector of the country and said that he would take good care of the old lady's body.

After hearing this, Jia's mother became more and more confused.She thought about the list in her hand for a long time, then a smile slowly emerged, stroked the Buddhist beads on her hand, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's bring that doctor in so that we can find a yard to share with him." He lives."

Someone had already told Niu Wan to make some arrangements, but Yuanyang counted the items on the list one by one, and she couldn't help showing some doubts in her eyes, and said hesitantly: "Old lady, the son of the protector of the country, this is... .”

Such a good thing was sent here suddenly for no reason, could it be that he didn't take medicine today?

She reluctantly swallowed the following sentence, but her heart was still full of confusion.

When it comes to matters of common people's hearts, after all, Yuanyang is a maidservant who has been confined in this deep house all her life, so she is not as transparent as Jia Mu.She looked at Jia Mu, but Jia Mu smiled and said nothing, and even swayed leisurely on the reclining chair with her eyes closed.

Yuanyang had no choice but to swallow her doubts first, and hurried up to knock her legs with Jia Mu.

"Silly boy," the old lady's voice full of inexplicable superiority reached her ears after a long while, "he did this to please me."

"Please?" Yuanyang's subordinates moved a little slowly, "but he is already the son of the protector of the country—"

To put it bluntly, although Jia's mansion is inherited from generation to generation, it has to be demoted to a higher level in every life, and it has already become a first-rank general's mansion.However, the Duke of the Protectorate is the hottest upstart, and the eldest son is the only one who can claim the title, and his status is already one of the most valuable in this capital, so why is there any need to please others?

"You say you're stupid, why don't you believe it—" Mother Jia knocked her head down, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I can't control other things, there is only one thing that I can control. Tell me, can I make up my mind about Baoyu's marriage?"

Although the matter of children has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, Baoyu was raised by Jiamu since childhood, and now he can't marry a wife, and the right to choose for him also falls in the hands of the respected Jiamu.If Jia's mother didn't want this granddaughter-in-law, others would not be able to get into Baoyu's room even if they had their heads pointed.

After hearing this, Yuanyang didn't understand why?He couldn't help being surprised for a while and said: "The old lady said——"

Then the son of the protector of the country, did he fall in love with the third master Bao?

Jia Mu squinted her eyes, then swayed leisurely on the bamboo rocking chair, and said with a smile: "It's really not easy to be so hard-working, but it's just that I want to abduct my Baoyu away..."

I'm afraid, it's still a long way off.

Among the young masters who visited Rongguo Mansion the day before, only Han Yan had clear eyes and ears, and she could see something wrong from Jia Mu's expression.Contacting Baoyu's previous events and Jia Mu's occasional revelations, the old lady's thoughts have already been pondered out of ten, so she can't wait to come to the door the next day to improve her favorability.

He just sent it off with Baoyu and Jia's mother before, and later he even brought Jia Lian, Jia She, Jia Zheng and several young masters in the mansion together to send the ancient fan with Jia Amnesty. The prince of the state is a confidant; and Jia Lian gave him all kinds of fresh playthings that his son could use, which was enough to build up his goodwill.Jia Zheng, who has always been old-fashioned, gave all kinds of unique books and words of saints. After Jia Zheng praised a few words of saints and gentlemen, he gave Yuanchun a guqin, Yingchun a chess piece carved from jade, and Tanchun a branch of sapphire. Langhao brushes, and a complete set of painting utensils given to Yingchun... For a while, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was full of praise for him, and everyone was saying good things about him.

Mother Jia watched coldly, and had to admire Han Yan's scheming for a while, and secretly praised Han Yan for not mentioning her actions.

It was just sending it off for a while, which naturally alarmed the other people.People like Wang Xifeng and Baochai are also people with clear minds and eyes, how can they not be suspicious when they see his actions like this?Therefore, only [-] days later, gift-giving people in front of Jia's mansion were bustling with people, and the bustling activities in front of the whole street seemed to be still in the middle of the festival. I can't help but secretly rejoice that Baoyu is reliable.

Only Jia Zheng was surprised: Why do they all send things to my house?

After thinking about it, yes, I'm afraid I've done a good job as an official this year, and I'm going to be promoted!They got some news in advance, so they came to celebrate with themselves in advance!

He cheerfully said this in front of Jia Mu, and immediately got a look of pity and sympathy from Jia Mu who was knocking sunflower seeds.

The mandarin duck serving at the side: ...

You are stupid, Second Master, these people are all here for your son!It's with the idea of ​​being your daughter-in-law!

Baoyu didn't realize it.The spring is approaching, and he is full of thoughts in the book, day and night fighting with lights on, how can he have time to care about so much?He just stayed up in the sea of ​​books day and night, getting up at five o'clock every day and going to sleep at three o'clock.His yard is not far from Jiamu, and often when Jiamu wakes up from a dream, she can still see the lights in Baoyu's room not extinguished.

Baoyu lights up the lamp to fight at night, let alone others, Xiren Qingwen is determined to accompany him.As a result, he couldn't rest well every night, but was busy serving tea and water, cutting candles and grinding ink beside Baoyu. On the contrary, Baoyu couldn't bear it.

After going back and forth like this, all the people in the mansion were looking forward to the end of the Spring Festival soon, so as to save Baoyu from suffering.But these days, how can people rush quickly, they still turn over slowly page by page, Baoyu is still tormenting in the sea of ​​books, even Zhang Yiran can't see it, when Baoyu comes to Zhang's mansion for advice, he often reads it with him. A table full of meat dishes, just want to make him gain some weight.

When the spring warmed up in March, it finally came the day of spring this year.Talented scholars from all over the world gather in the capital at this time, teahouses and taverns. It is common for people to privately speculate who will win the championship in one fell swoop this year; it is more common for outstanding students to walk around the capital, or to write poems or couplets, or to gather in twos and threes Making a fuss and competing against each other, for a while, the imperial capital added a bit of elegance.

Fortunately, Baoyu is only fourteen or fifteen years old this year, even if he doesn't win, he can be regarded as a young talent, so he has never been nervous.Before Chunwei, his kung fu had already reached the tenth level, and he thought he was worthy of himself. Two days before the exam, he felt much more relaxed. Every morning, he strolled to Xibianer Street to buy candied haws from Wuzi Tianshu.

The Wordless Heavenly Book also asked him quietly: "For the sake of candied haws, can I use this Heavenly Book to ask you a question?"

Baoyu couldn't help laughing, then shook his head and said, "That's all."

Even if he doesn't pass the exam, the big deal is that he will take the exam three years later, it's better than being uneasy and full of guilt because of the cheating all his life.

Baoyu believes that he is definitely not a person who gets something for nothing, so he is unwilling to accept Tianshu's intention.On the day of the exam, he didn't send it to others, and went to the exam room by himself in a carriage. Jia Mu was worried that he would not have enough to eat in the exam room, so she ordered the small kitchen to sandwich the roasted beef and mutton in the steamed buns After making the dry food, he and he secretly packed a lot of vegetables in the dry food that could last for a few days.

Not to mention Zhang Yiran and others, they also asked him to bring a bag of lotus root powder produced in the south of the Yangtze River. He was originally a great Confucian of the generation and was quite prestigious among literati, so he easily persuaded the examiner to give Baoyu a bowl of hot water.When Baoyu opened the lunch box in the cramped room, the aroma of barbecue mixed with the sweet smell of lotus root starch spread throughout the examination room, causing everyone in the room to write and sniff while the room next door was eating cold steamed buns. Candidates were even more drooling and on the verge of tears.

Examiner!Someone deliberately didn't want me to take the exam, and even tempted me with delicious food!

Be a man of integrity, I, I will not be fooled!

Amid all the mourning and resentment, Unique Baoyu took another bite of meat, silently put aside the paper he had already written in order to make room for the table full of food.

On the day when he left the examination room, Zhang Yiran thought that it was Baoyu's first visit to the Spring Festival, and he came with Yingchun and Jia Lian, and he also brought a wordless book by the way.They waited on the carriage for a long time, and finally waited until the examinee came out. Among all the pale and weak-faced crowd, they saw Baoyu with a rosy complexion and a lustrous complexion from a distance.

Jia Lian: ...My younger brother took the exam, why does he look better than at home?

Zhang Yiran first looked up and down the stupid apprentice, Fang lightly parted his thin lips, and asked, "How did you do in the exam?"

Baoyu smiled and said: "I have suffered a lot last time, so please forgive me this time, Master. Don't let me say anything confident in this public."

"What's so scary," Zhang Yiran said with a frown, "You are my apprentice, even if you are more confident and arrogant, would anyone still dare to talk nonsense?"

If you dare to talk nonsense, kill him!

Baoyu was speechless for a while, and when he turned his head again, he couldn't help laughing at the silent book with puffed cheeks, "What's wrong with you today? Why don't you take candied haws?"

The silver hair of the wordless book was neatly tied into two little buns with a blue ribbon, which looked more and more cute.He was silent for a while, but finally, under Baoyu's repeated urging, he was reluctant to open his mouth to show him.

...Very well, at first glance, it is a black hole, and the two front teeth are gone.

The author has something to say: Jia Zheng: They must think I have a future, so they gave me gifts!

Jia Mu: ...I just smiled and said nothing.

Wordless Heavenly Book successfully lost its teeth.Well, you know the consequences of eating too much sugar, right?

Also, in fact, the third year of high school was my fattest period, because I ate four meals a day (covering my face) and I was over [-] catties......
