[Red Chamber] The imperial examination life of the great master

"Who spread this story?! Who is so dishonest and spread rumors?" Jia She said angrily, his face flushed with anger.

Zhang Heng endured a smile so that his shoulders shook, the cup in his hand shook, and the tea moistened his fingers, "Enhou, did you really not eat?"

"You—" Jia Amnesty rolled his eyes at Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng knew that he was about to explode at this time, so he coughed quickly and said seriously: "Okay, you didn't eat it, you definitely didn't eat it, I absolutely believe you didn't eat it."

"Huh!" Jia She snorted through his nose.

He took a sip of tea resentfully, "Wait until I find out who sent the news, I must make him look good!"

Zhang Heng smiled, "Okay, after you find out, I'll help you make that person look good."

Ministry of Industry Yamen.

Yan Cheng, who had just left the office, sneezed.

He tightened his sleeves, it was really cold.

Jia She thought that the rumors would dissipate in two or three days. There are many things happening in the capital every day, and his little things are nothing at all.

But he was wrong.

Not only did this rumor not disappear in smoke, but on the contrary, it spread more and more vigorously, and became more and more widely known. Now the fact that he ate locusts has spread throughout the country.

Moreover, this rumor has been supplemented in many ways, which fully reflects how strong the ancient people's brains are.

Now it is rumored that Jia Shilang has evolved from eating locusts-after Jia Shilang ate locusts, he won three yuan in a row and was promoted to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Good, well-founded, and reasonable.

If the person involved was not him, Jia Amnesty would be happy to hear the rumor and go to see the person in person.

The problem is, now the person involved is him!

"No one will believe it, right?" Jia Amnesty asked Zhang Heng while walking.

Zhang Heng pursed his lips, hesitating for a moment between telling the truth and telling lies, and finally, under Jia Amnesty's expectant gaze, he chose to tell lies, "Well, no one will believe it."

Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief.

however.

Morning time.

Jia Amnesty stood on the main hall, feeling the scorching gaze from all directions.

He was silent.

Even Tu Yuan looked at him a few more times when he was going up.

"Your Majesty, I have good news for you." Minister of the Household Department Qi Liqun stood in line and said with joy.

"Oh, what good news?" Tu Yuan's eyes lit up. For so many days, there have been bad news, and it is rare to have good news.

"The people in the south of the Yangtze River coughed and coughed after hearing the rumors about Mr. Jia." Qi Liqun coughed under Jia She's gaze like a knife. The locusts will be exterminated.”

"This is really good news." Tu Yuan said with a smile.

He glanced at the dark-faced Jia She and said, "Speaking of which, Jia Qing's family has contributed a lot."

Jia Amnesty: "..."

He knew that Jiangnan Shangwen, the students in the southern list were more competitive than those in the northern list, but he didn't expect them to fight so hard for the imperial examination.

It was he who lost.

"Your Majesty, the same is true in the southwest area. I heard that the locusts in the southwest area are basically extinct now. There are also some wealthy businessmen who spend a lot of money for a plate of locusts. They don't hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy a plate of locusts, so that their children and grandchildren can be like Master Jia." Shang Shu said with a smile.

Jia Amnesty: No, we are different.

"If that's the case, it's really a blessing for us." Tu Yuan said with emotion.

He smiled and said to Jia She, who had a loveless face, "Jia Qing's family, if the locust plague can be cured, it must be your credit."

"Yes, Mr. Jia has contributed a lot." Qi Liqun said.

Jia Amnesty remained expressionless.

Just be happy.

Anyway, he would never admit to these rumors.

Down in the morning.

Jia She raised his foot and was about to go outside.

He just wants to be alone now.

Before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by someone behind him.

"Master Jia, Master Jia."

Yan Cheng chased after him out of breath.

Jia She stopped and looked at Yan Cheng suspiciously.

Yan Cheng has always been steady, so he suddenly called him to stop, could something be wrong?

"Master Yan, what's the matter?" Jia She asked.

Yan Cheng was out of breath from running, and he said intermittently: "Jia, Mr. Jia, I, I need your help with something."

"What's the matter?" They are all appointed by the imperial court, one more friend is better than one more enemy, Jia Amnesty doesn't mind doing Yan Cheng a little favor.

"Are you free now?" Yan Cheng asked, "I would like to invite you to our house."

Jia Amnesty thought for a while, "Okay."

Anyway, there is nothing wrong now, and he doesn't want to face those people in the yamen, so he might as well just go there.

It's just that I don't know what happened to make Yan Cheng anxious to find him.

"Master Jia, please help me write something." Yan Cheng smiled and handed the pen to Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty was stunned, looked at the pen, looked at the paper, "You asked me to write something?"

That's not right, although Jia Amnesty's handwriting isn't ugly, it's at best a well-regulated pavilion style, and it's not good enough for Yan Cheng to ask for it in person.

"Yes, Mr. Jia." Yan Cheng said, "You don't know, Quan Zijin also passed the exam, but he was unlucky and caught a cold, and he was carried out before he even finished the exam. No, I just want him to be part of your blessing."

Jia She was silent.

He picked up a pen and silently wrote down the words "Title on the Gold List".

Anyway, the rumors have become more and more crazy now, as long as there are no rumors that can bless children, he will bear it!
