The Red Chamber is not a dream

[Chapter 140] In the autumn, uncle and nephew are on the list to discuss marriage, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law each have their own hearts

After reading the article written by Jia Ruo, the good talker was surprised, and secretly said: "Although the pen is not strong enough, the sharpness is lacking, but the cleverness is also strong. This time I think it is a good one. I just followed my tongue at first, but now it seems It can be a big favor." So he taught him with all his heart, told him one by one what he had learned that day, and said with a smile, "in the future, when you have a test in your house, you will come to live with my uncle." A few days later, someone sent him back just now.

In a blink of an eye, it's time for the exam.All the children of Jia's mansion were ready and went to the examination room together; when the examination was about to come out, some of the students were satisfied, some were downcast, and some were as if nothing had happened;That night, when Jia Ruo returned home, he threw himself on the bed first, and then fell asleep for five or six hours. Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng couldn't be fooled, so they were busy teaching people to diagnose the pulse, and there was nothing serious about it. , just put this heart down a little bit.When he woke up, he pulled him to ask questions again.But Jia Ruo just complained about being hungry. Mrs. Xing hurriedly taught the cook to serve the meal. After watching him eat, Fang asked him, "How is the article done? Is it difficult?" Jia Ruo said with a smile, "I slept here." After a long time, my wife has also asked my third uncle about it. It is not much different from what my uncle said; anyway, I will know when the list is released. But I have worked hard these days, so teach me how to be stubborn." Mrs. Xing said with a smile: " Blame the boy, but he made a fuss, and it looks like he has made a contribution." He stopped asking him, and told Sister Feng not to ask any more questions; he ordered several family members to follow, and taught Jia Cong to walk around with him, Nothing for now.

On the day when the list was released, the Jia family had already sent a few young men to wait for the list; Mrs. Xing and others waited at home.After a while, I saw a young man running back, Caiming picked it up, and after hearing what the young man said, he came in and said with a smile: "Congratulations to my wife and grandma! Our third master and young master both won!" Mrs. Xing Hearing this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "So it is?" Caiming knelt down and kowtowed, and said again: "Sure enough. The young master is in the first twenty miles; the third master is a little behind. There is also Lan from the second room. The young master also won, but the second master Bao Hehuan and the third master never won."

Mrs. Xing was overjoyed when she heard the words, but she smiled at Sister Feng and said, "Look, Baoyu has never won, so we dare not like it very much." Sister Feng was very proud, and said, "It's our dignity anyway. If My brother is also a good boy, and he is worthy of my wife's love for him." Mrs. Xing liked it from the bottom of her heart, and she heard that Jia Cong was also hit, but she was an unexpected joy, and said in surprise: "I don't see Cong'er so much in the past. Clever, now I'm in the middle of those two heads; it's also a mischief, it's really a double happiness." Sister Feng said with a smile: "I think the third brother is working hard in private. I don't know." Jia Ruo and the two came and hurriedly taught them.

At that moment, the two of them came in and greeted Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng first. Mrs. Xing hurriedly avoided her, pulled Jia Ruo into her arms, and said with a smile, "good boy, what do you want? Just tell me." Ruo laughed and said, "I'm going to live with my third uncle for more than ten days before I go to school. These days are also boring. I finally got this letter, so I don't try my best." Sister Feng said angrily: "Just being naughty, are you not stubborn enough these days? Just be stubborn yourself, but lead your third uncle to join you in fooling around." Because he was angry with Jia Cong for spoiling him; Jia Cong was afraid that Sister Feng would say Jia Ruo, and hurriedly said: "Don't blame Brother Ruo, it was because I wanted to go out and be naughty." Sister Feng said with a smile: "In front of my wife, you still dare to play tricks on me. I know exactly what that little thing is like; he is used to Take you as an honest leader, and you are not allowed to talk to him."

Mrs. Xing was overjoyed, she hurriedly ordered Jia Cong to come over, hugged him and said with a smile: "Ignore the second grandma. Now I will make the decision for you. Apart from the homework that should be done, I will do my best to be stubborn." Yue; if you want to ask for money, just tell me, not the stingy one." Sister Feng hurriedly said, "It's amazing, I'm next to the mountain. It's a pity that I've been with my wife for many years, but I'm not as good as him Two; Zensheng, I'm going to take the exam as well, at least to win some confidence for myself." Mrs. Xing laughed again.Several people talked for a long time before Mrs. Xing said, "Let's go to the old lady's place. Keep some of it, and I'll like it when I go back to my place." Everyone heard the words, so they cleaned up and went to Jiamu together. Come to the courtyard.

Jia Ruo and Jia Cong fell behind. Seeing that others were not paying attention, they pulled Jia Cong with a smile and said, "Where are we going to play tomorrow?" Naturally, if someone comes to congratulate you at home, it is a must to socialize; after a few days, when you are quiet, I am afraid that you will have to study again." Jia Ruo snorted and said: "Other people say me, even my third uncle. I just said it the day before yesterday. Thank you, I won the prize today." Jia Cong hurriedly said: "I'm just telling the truth, where are you talking? Since you want to go out for a stroll, I will go with you. Anyway, my wife blames me, and I just scold you. I won't scold you."

It turned out that after Jia Ruo came back from Zhao's house, she thought to herself, "It's easy for me to get in this list after hearing what my uncle said; why don't you tell third uncle what uncle is betting on. He has never been outstanding, if Don't read it with him, I'm afraid it will be difficult." So he really told Jia Cong what he said, but he didn't mention where he got it from; Jia Cong was an honest and honest person, and he didn't doubt him, but on the contrary. Thank you so much.When I entered the arena and saw the title that day, I couldn't help being overjoyed, and thought to myself: "Sure enough, if brother is a person with great blessings, even I will be helped. It can be seen that he has no selfish intentions, but he only thinks for me. "As he went, he wrote on the paper; when he came out, he looked for Jia Ruo, picked him up and turned him around in a big circle, and shouted: "Brother Ruo, you are my great benefactor!" Jia Ruo hurriedly got down to the ground, and said with a smile, "Hang on, these people are here, look at what they look like. Third uncle wants to thank me, and it won't be too late until the list is released." On the one hand, they took a car with Jia Ruo and went home.

Now that Jia Ruo heard Jia Cong's words, he felt embarrassed; he was trying to put on a playful look, but he knew it in his heart, and he laughed and said, "I'm talking stubborn with my third uncle. If someone comes tomorrow, it's natural to ask." Go out to talk; there you can just go out for a stroll." Jia Cong felt relieved after hearing this, and said with a smile, "You're bluffing me again." When they saw Jiamu's door, the two stopped busy, and went in with Mrs. Xing .

When I got to the room, I saw that Mrs. Wang and Li Gongcai had arrived, and Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jialan were sitting below;Although Jia's mother likes Baoyu the most, she is really unhappy to see that he has never won; however, Jia Cong, Jia Lan, and Jia Ruo are all on the list, and she is also very fond of Jia Ruo, who is also the eldest grandson of the housekeeper. , so he encouraged me a few words, and said with a smile: "This time our family is blessed with three blessings." Then he said: "I heard your second master say that next year you may have to take the exam again. It’s good to read books. Anyway, there are all kinds of exams, so don’t worry too much.” Everyone nodded in agreement.

While talking, someone came in and said, "Go back to the old lady, there are people outside who want to see the three people on the list in our family. The second master asked the second master to go out with the young master." It's over, you guys go now." They got up and said a word, and went outside.Jia Mu said again: "You guys should go back and get busy. The second wife will stay for a while, and I have something to tell you." When they heard the words, they got up and went out.

Seeing the opportunity, the mandarin ducks pulled Yuchai'er and Amber out, and there were only Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang in the room for a while.Jia Mu laughed and said, "There's nothing else to say. It's still about Baoyu and Yun'er. Let's talk to you that day, and I quietly asked someone to take his two characters to count, and came back to say that it was fate. It is better to settle this matter first while I still have breath."

Mrs. Wang had known that Jia's mother was going to bring this up. She heard the words and said, "Baoyu didn't win this time. I'm not happy, and the master doesn't like it. I'm afraid I'll make the master unhappy if I mention it at this time; and I want to scold Baoyu for not using it." Gong, only focus on these things."

Jia Mu frowned and said, "What are you talking about! Could it be that if Baoyu doesn't win, you won't get married? You just say what I mean. No matter how unfilial he is, he dare not disobey in this matter. As the saying goes: Parents' orders, According to the matchmaker, could it be that he has a beard now, so he is disobedient to me?"

Mrs. Wang was uncomfortable when she heard the words, but she was afraid that Jia Mu would decide Xiangyun, so she had to forcefully said: "Where does the master dare to disobey the old lady. It's just that he is stricter with Baoyu on weekdays. Now that even Cong'er has won, Baoyu will not In the midst of this, it is inevitable that he is a little annoyed; maybe I have to teach him to try again next year, and when he has fame, wouldn't he look better? Besides, the two of them are not too old now, and it won't matter if they are separated by a year. It's too late. Anyway, we have a plan in mind."

When Jia's mother heard Mrs. Wang's words, she was indisputable. She also saw that Mrs. Wang had never rejected their marriage, and she didn't want to press too hard. Nai smiled and said: "Sure enough, you love the juniors the most, but your words are more thoughtful than I thought. It's just that I look at Yun girl really pitifully. Every time I go home, I see tears, which makes people feel unbearable." .Thinking that if he settles down earlier, he will be able to rely on him, so his aunt won’t strangle him anymore. From this point of view, it’s hard for him to be patient for another year, just to see what happens.” Mrs. Wang laughed along with her. Said: "If the old lady loves girl Yun, she can take him to live at home from time to time. I just treat him as before; lest people see anything, it won't ruin girl Yun's reputation." Jiamu laughed. "It's better if you're thoughtful, that's all." Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and left.Nothing for now.

The author has something to say: Jia Cong is actually a child... maybe in his teens.Jia Ruo is not a few years older than Jia Ruo. The two children usually play well. Jia Cong is honest and troublesome, but he is very fond of Jia Ruo. When Jia Huan is looking for trouble, he is usually the one who takes the lead for Jia Ruo... Inside the big room The relationship is quite harmonious.

Mrs. Wang probably really didn't want Xiangyun to be her daughter-in-law, but now she didn't dare to fight with Jia Mu openly, so she could only think of a way secretly.In any case, the current hurdle is over.
