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

Chen Ronggui was extremely curious, like ants crawling on his heart, he couldn't help but glanced at the paper in Chen Xusheng's hand, but he could only see a few vague sentences, and couldn't make out what was written on it.

He was restless, and would glance at Chen Xusheng's hand from time to time, but Chen Xusheng was thinking about it right now, so he didn't notice his small movements at all.

Jia Amnesty held the tea in his hand and drank it slowly, he was not in a hurry.

After about a cup of tea, the butler led ten scholars in, probably from a nearby private school.

Lin Xusheng gave them a few words.

Jia She said again: "Why don't these people be divided into two groups, one group uses one of the methods first, and the other group doesn't use it first, so that we can see whether it is useful or not?"

Lin Xusheng nodded and gave orders.

Lin Ronggui was so curious that he scratched his heart, but because of face, he couldn't ask questions.

After the housekeeper obeyed the order, he asked casually, "Father, what is written on Brother Jia's paper?"

Lin Xusheng glanced at Jia She, and after he nodded in agreement, he handed the paper to Chen Ronggui.

Although Chen Ronggui pretended not to care, but after taking the paper to read carefully, his expression gradually became anxious. The more he read, the faster his heart beat, and the more he read, the more dry his mouth became. If this, the method written on this paper is true, That's really amazing!

Only then did he understand why his father was so anxious and out of his mind just now.

Not to mention his father, he felt heart-warming just looking at it!

Besides, Chen Ronggui thought of what Jia She said just now. Jia She said that his learning depends on these methods. He may not really study for less than a month. The knuckles on the paper were white with eagerness.

The time for a stick of incense is not long or short.

But in the hall, Chen Ronggui and his son felt that the time of burning incense seemed like years.

Tea changed cup after cup.

Chen Ronggui drank the good Biluochun tea, he didn't pay attention to the tea at all, and he couldn't drink it either good or bad.

At this time, Chen Xusheng picked up the teacup, picked up the tea cover, slightly brushed off the tea powder on it, and casually glanced at Jia She, seeing him sitting upright as usual with a peaceful expression, he couldn't help being very surprised. If it's true, I don't know how much money I can make in the future. This amount of money is so big that even people like Chen Xusheng feel nervous, but he is still so calm.

Chen Xusheng secretly sighed in his heart: This son is really a hidden dragon in the abyss, unfathomable!

"Master." The butler trotted to report the result.

Seeing him coming, Chen Xusheng withdrew from his thoughts and quickly asked, "What was the result?"

"It turned out to be useful!" said the butler with trembling lips.

Chen Xusheng was overjoyed in his heart, and then he was at a loss after the ecstasy. He opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

Chen Ronggui was worse than him, he seemed to be frozen, and he was stunned.

"Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi." Jia She called out several times before regaining Chen Xusheng's mind.

Chen Xusheng felt that he had lost his composure, and he didn't feel embarrassed. It would be great for anyone to hear the news and not go crazy.

"Since Uncle Shi also sees that these methods are true, now we should talk about how to cooperate." Jia She said with a smile.

The night is low, and the stars are dotted on the black and gray curtain.

Jia Amnesty came out of Chen's residence and kept saying: "Shibo, Brother Chen, there is no need to send it away, the juniors are already ashamed to be sent here, stay a little longer, stay a little longer."

Seeing this scene, the disciples were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.

What kind of person is this person, to let their master personally send him out of the gate, you know, this kind of treatment, even those household doctors don't have it.

After getting into the carriage, Jia Amnesty sat on the cushion. He let go of his palms. There were three deep fingernail marks on his palms. How could he not be nervous for such a large deal? Feeling jealous, I forced myself to hide all my emotions, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Jia Amnesty's eyes are bright, and in this way, with the written deed as proof and high-five as an oath, he will no longer be constrained by money in the future, and even take this opportunity to establish a relationship with the Chen family, and want to do other things in the future It is also convenient to cooperate with them in business.

The troubles that had been lingering in his heart for a long time were over, and Jia Shecheng let out a sigh of relief. He touched his purse, 100 taels, really cheap.

The sound of the carriage kicking and kicking sounded on the bluestone road.

Jia Amnesty lowered his eyelids gradually, fell into a dreamland, and kept nodding his jaw.

"Call-"

The sudden movement woke Jia She up from his dream.

He rubbed his eyes, and was about to ask what happened to Lin Wu, when he heard a familiar voice, the voice was as low as a clear spring splashing down, but it also carried a sense of self-satisfaction, which made people listen to it Half of his body was numb.

"Who's in here?"

Zhang Heng?

Jia Amnesty opened the curtain, and happened to meet Shang Zhangheng's searching eyes cast into the curtain of the car. The two were silent for a moment, and Jia Amnesty spoke first, "Lord Zhang, long time no see."

It was him.

He thought it was the second child, Zhang Heng thought casually, twitching the corners of his lips as a greeting, "The people from Bing Ma Si are on patrol, so go back early if you have nothing to do."

"Yes, thank you for reminding me, my lord." Jia She said, the curfew in Beijing is not strict, but it is not a good thing to encounter some thorns from the soldiers and horses.

Zhang Heng idly lowered the curtain, and the coachman went in another direction.

After Zhang Heng's carriage had gone far away, Lin Wu said tremblingly, "Master is really amazing."

"What?" Jia Amnesty was staring at the back of the carriage in a daze, when he heard this, he didn't react for a while.

Lin Wu glanced at the carriage, and said in a low voice: "Just now, the grown-up was so imposing, the little ones didn't dare to speak in front of him, but the old man acted like nothing happened, isn't it amazing?"

Jia She smiled, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, is Zhang Heng that scary?Perhaps it was because he took extra care of him when he was in an accident last time, Jia She not only didn't think he was scary, but on the contrary felt a little close to him.

Speaking of which, after I was released from prison, I didn't find a suitable opportunity to thank him.

You'll have to keep that in mind when you look back.

On the way back, Lin Wu intentionally avoided the patrol route of Bing Ma Si, and arrived at Rongguo Mansion without incident.

From that day on, Jia She put away all his idle thoughts. After he talked about doing business with the Chen family in front of Jia Daishan, Jia Daishan let out a long sigh, with a kind of pity that Jia She couldn't understand. He glanced at him, and said yes.

Jia Amnesty waited for a long time and didn't see him speak again, so he also put the matter behind him and focused on his study.

After Cai Liang took a few days off, he finally showed up.

After he showed up, he seemed to have completely forgotten what happened in the past few days. When he met Jia She, he still looked like the boss of the sky and his second child.

Chen Ronggui was very angry for Jia She, and every time he saw Cai Liang, he would stare at him several times.

Jia Amnesty didn't notice it at first, but when he found out, he couldn't help laughing and explaining to him, "Why do you do this, he did this to show his face for a while, but look carefully, have the people in our outer house recently Gradually estranged him? People in our outhouse also have eyes, except for those thick-skinned, who would want to deal with him, because he broke his promise, what he ruined was his own reputation."

Chen Ronggui realized that it was true after he said that.

Before Cai Liang was in the foreign house, he had many followers, but after he came back these few days, except for Li Zicai and those people who still kept in touch with him, when other people saw him, they would hide away if they had a good temper. The bad one just snorted out of shame, to show his disdain for him.

Chen Ronggui clapped his hands and laughed, no wonder Cai Liang's face is as dark as the bottom of a pot these days, so it is.

After understanding, Chen Ronggui saw that Cai Liang finally didn't bother to stare at him. He changed his way and looked at him with pity and contempt.

Cai Liang exploded with anger almost instantly.

"What are you, Chen Ronggui! It's your turn to despise me!" Cai Liangben was secretly annoyed by the attitude of the people in the outer house, but when Chen Ronggui gave him a look like that, his mind went crazy, and he immediately lost his mind.

Chen Ronggui originally allowed him three points, but now it is Cai Liang who made the mistake first, besides, he called names like this, if Chen Ronggui can bear it, how will he deal with himself in the foreign house in the future, "I am nothing, I am nothing compared to You, Cai Ziheng, don’t believe what you say, it’s not a good thing!”

Cai Liang was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, and his breathing was heavy. He stared at Chen Ronggui viciously, his eyes fell from Chen Ronggui to Jia She, and he squeezed out a sentence from his teeth, "Okay, okay! Good for you Marquis Jia En! Don’t dare to tell me in person! He even ordered Chen Ronggui to stand up for you.”

Jia Sheyun glanced at him calmly, then lowered his head and continued to read the book in his hand.

Cai Liang became even more angry, and the next one stepped forward, he was about to roll up his sleeves and fight Jia Amnesty.

Li Zicai saw that it was not good, so he hurriedly stepped forward with others to hold him back, "Ziheng, you are confused! If you fight here, if the master finds out, you will be expelled from the Imperial College!"

When Cai Liang heard this, his anger seemed to be drowned out by water, and he died down. He glared at Jia She hatefully, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Li Zicai and others hurriedly chased after him.

Chen Ronggui sighed regretfully, "It would be great if he really did it. Once he does it, I will go to my master and drive him away immediately."

Jia Amnesty gave him a sideways look, "Have you finished what Shi Bo ordered you to do?"

"No." Chen Ronggui recalled this, and pulled his face down again, "Enhou, help me find a spacious shop!"

Chen Xusheng has recently been stimulated by Jia Amnesty, and he attaches great importance to Chen Ronggui, and asks him to do some things from time to time, intending to train him to gradually take over the family business.

There is no way, Chen Ronggui is really not good at reading, and Jia She personally taught him how to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics. He barely memorized them, but he was still terrible in terms of solving and inheriting them.
