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

"It's true that Marquis Jia En won the prize?" As soon as the result of the list came out, people from various teahouses and taverns talked about it.

"This is really unexpected. People say that he can get Huiyuan, but I didn't expect him to actually get it."

"Isn't it? I thought that Huiyuan must be one of Liu Yuanzhi or Song Ziyang."

"But don't you think it's a little strange? Jia She said that if he can get Hui Yuan, he will get Hui Yuan. Is there something unknown about this?"

"You have a point in what you say, indeed."

"Did you hear that?" Zhang Heng glanced at Jia She, he was fine when the list was announced yesterday, but there were a lot of rumors coming out of nowhere during the night, saying that Jia She won the Huiyuan this time, and there was a lot of articles in it .

What is this "article" can be figured out by thinking about it with your toes.

Right now there is no big trouble, but I am afraid it will be sooner or later.

At that time, those censors are bound to be like cats who smell fishy - attack them in groups.

"Yes." Jia Amnesty also wanted to understand the seriousness of this matter.

This matter can be big or small. If you think about it in a small way, it is just a rumor, and it cannot be taken as true, but judging from the situation in the court, the Seventh Prince's faction will probably not let this matter be trivialized.

Moreover, they might be behind this incident.

Jia She felt a little regretful.

When the rumor spread around, he didn't think of the hidden danger behind it at all.

"It's not your fault." Zhang Heng glanced and knew what Jia She was thinking. He paused and said, "They want to deal with us. Even if this trick doesn't work, there will be other tricks."

"I will find a way." Jia She said, he frowned with a serious expression, and suddenly asked: "Recently, in the court hall, His Majesty told the crown prince..."

Zhang Heng pursed his lips and shook his head.

This matter has not been investigated until now, and the prince's neglect has become more and more serious.

Now it's not just that, officials from the Prince's faction have been reprimanded by Emperor Jianming from time to time these days, while those from the Seventh Prince's faction have been reused and even promoted.

He had a premonition that the Seventh Prince's manipulation was indispensable behind all these things.

Jia She pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Be careful in everything."

Zhang Heng took a deep look at him, "I will, and you should be careful."

Xu felt that the atmosphere was too dull, so Zhang Heng drank a sip of tea, changed the topic as if nothing had happened, with a smile on his lips, "I said a few days ago that if you won the Huiyuan, I will tell you What kind of person do I like."

"My lord." Jia She interrupted him, and said with a smile, "Students, don't be in a hurry. You can tell me about this later."

He knows which is more important, and now that the situation in the court is chaotic, it is definitely not the time to talk about the personal relationship of his children.

"...Okay." Zhang Heng nodded and said, "In any case, we will have plenty of time to talk about this in the future."

Jia She smiled and said yes.

The rumors of Huiyuan became more and more insane and exaggerated as they spread.

Even Jia Zheng heard about it, and came to Jia Amnesty to make indirect remarks. Is there any way to cheat?

After being dismissed by Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng went to complain to Jia Shi Shi angrily.

Jia Shishi was naturally on Jia Zheng's side, this time she learned how to be good, knowing that Jia She would not eat hard, so she asked someone to invite Jia She, and prepared a table of good wine and food. During the period, I acted like a loving mother, with vegetables and vegetables, and cared for each other.

If others don't know what kind of person Jia Shishi is, seeing this scene, they may misunderstand that Jia Shishi is too fond of his son.

Jia amnesty does not refuse anyone who comes.

Jia Shishi only thought that he agreed, dismissed the servants, immediately winked at Jia Zheng, and said with a smile: "Your younger brother is also straightforward, he has never been very good at talking, but you are brothers, you help me now." He, if he becomes prosperous in the future, can he not thank you? We are all one family, so don't talk about two families. If you really have a way, help your brother."

Up to now, Jia Daishan has not said that he would give Jia Zheng the title of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Zheng was confident at the beginning, but now that he has been delayed for a long time, he can't help but feel a little bit at a loss.

In the past, he could still read carefully for a while.

But now, he is used to the soft jade and the fragrance, and enjoys a free life. How can he read books? Even the Imperial College, which he used to visit occasionally, seldom goes.

Jia Zheng gritted his teeth. For the sake of fame and fortune, he lowered his face and poured a glass of wine, "Brother, I was wrong before, so I apologize to you."

After saying this, he drank the wine in one gulp.

Jia Amnesty glanced at him and said noncommittally, "You want to know how I got into Huiyuan?"

"Yes!" Seeing that he seemed to let go, Jia Zheng said hastily.

"Well, don't say we are all brothers, I won't take advantage of you." Jia She said, "I told you about this, so don't tell outsiders."

"Don't worry, I guarantee that my mouth must be tight and I won't say anything to anyone." Jia Zheng said anxiously.

How could he tell others that if there is such a way, of course he should be tight to himself first.

"Come here with your ears." Jia Amnesty beckoned to him.

Jia Zheng hurried over, his face full of excitement.

Jia Amnesty lowered his voice, and whispered four words in his ear, "Study hard!"

Jia Zheng was taken aback at first, but when he realized it, his face flushed red, and the veins on his neck bulged, "You!!"

"What about me?" Jia Amnesty got up and stroked his sleeves, "Differences in ways do not conspire with each other, I'll be honest, you don't believe me, if that's the case, why hold such a grand banquet!"

After saying this, he walked away.

Jia Shi's mother and son looked cloudy and uncertain.

Jia Zheng angrily threw the teacup in his hand, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

He, Jia Amnesty, shouldn't get complacent too early, it is now rumored that his reputation as Huiyuande is not justified, and when it comes to the palace examination, he will be dead!

And at this time, in the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

Song Ziyang asked: "Your Highness, when are we going to do it? The students really can't get used to Jia She's flamboyant appearance."

Tu Lu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "What? Can't wait?"

Song Ziyang didn't dare to lie, he said with a smile: "Students don't like him like that, if His Highness didn't follow suit, how could he really win the prize?"

Tu Lu was noncommittal, he did plan to bribe one of the two chief examiners to do it, but before he could do it, the two chief examiners themselves took a fancy to Jia She's article.

This is God helping him.

"Just wait, the palace test tomorrow, and their good days will come to an end." Tu Lu said with a sneer.
