Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

In the Jinling Qiuwei examination room, Jia Lian, who had already finished the second round of the exam, stared at the bright moon outside the dormitory in a daze. The things in the exam were not difficult. Mr. Jia and his uncle basically talked about them, especially the first three days. The most important article was written by him a few days ago, and Mr. Jia carefully corrected it for him.

The exam was easy, and Jia Lian was in the mood to think of the capital thousands of miles away, his wife, Sister Feng... thinking of his little cousin like an elf——most of today's poems and fus are written by her little cousin, and the rest are written by her. Mr. Jia changed it.

Jia Lian covered his face and sighed, he really didn't have the spirituality to write poetry.

At the end of the three exams in nine days, Jia Lian followed the crowd out with vain footsteps. Ming Xi and Ming Chuan stood on the high side of the car, and when they saw Jia Lian coming out, they waved desperately to him.Jia Yucun ordered several companions to carry Jia Lian out of the crowd. Jia Lian got into the carriage and fell into the carriage.

"Mr. Jia, I'm about to stink..."

"Yong Lian, drink water and don't talk." Jia Yucun didn't know that Jia Lian smelled bad, and he came here like this.

Jia Lian took a few sips of ginseng soup, "Mr. Jia, the exam..."

"Yong Lian, stop talking. Go back and talk if you have something to say."

After the exam, Jia Lian didn't understand. It wasn't that he studied well, he knew all the classics and history collections, and it wasn't that the exam questions were simple, but the questions of the Qiuwei exam. Mr. Jia basically did it for him once in the past few days.

Back in the small courtyard where I was preparing for the exam, Jia Lian bowed deeply to Jia Yucun, "Sir, if I win the exam, it will be all thanks to my husband."

Jia Yucun smiled, "Yong Lian, you have worked hard in your studies for more than a year, and you should pass the exam. Remember: don't talk about the exam with anyone other than your father or uncle, and you can't say a word. You can't hide, you can only learn from your uncle and just smile. Remember?"

Jia Lian understood and nodded solemnly, "Sir, Yong Lian remembers."

Mingxi brought the doctor who had been invited earlier, and gave Jia Lian a pulse, saying that Jia Lian was just a little tired, eat some soft porridge, have a good sleep, rest and rest should be no hindrance, and left a prescription for nourishing qi and blood Sub, indicating that you can eat it or not.Mingxi stepped forward to pay the doctor the consultation fee, and sent the doctor out.

Jia Lian slept for two days, and then began to read the letters from his cousin Daiyu. There were several letters in a thick stack. At first, the little girl complained that he didn't reply to his letters. Letter, and then moved to the capital, father was sick, went to Rongguo Mansion to throw jade, and then went to Mrs. Li's house, Mrs. Li helped her father to make a bride for herself, and later asked the bride to give birth to a lot of younger brothers and help her fight .The calendar of the day is vivid in my mind, I am afraid that the little girl has no one to talk to, no playmates, so she is lonely.

In the last letter, Jia Lian noticed that Lin Hai was going to remarry on September [-]th.

Jia Lian asked Jia Yucun if he knew about Lin Hai's remarriage?

Jia Yucun smiled, "Yong Lian, your cousin chose this day so that you could go back. We will go back immediately after you publish the list. In the next few days, you can go to Jinling and buy some gifts to take back. See also See if there is a suitable gift, and give it to the three examiners, the chief examiner and the deputy chief examiner. Your father sent someone to bring you 5000 taels of silver. There are still a few thousand taels of silver that Mr. Lin gave, and I will give it to you take it."

Jia Yucun gave the banknote to Jia Lian together with Jia Amnesty's letter.

Jia Lian took Jia Amnesty's 5000 taels of silver notes and pushed the rest back to Jia Yucun.

"Sir, I have to ask you to buy a gift for the examiner. Uncle remarried, what do you think I should give Yong Lian?"

Jia Yucun smiled in satisfaction, and put away the money Lin Hai gave him. He just wanted to test the attitude of the young master of Jia's mansion towards himself, a practical husband, and towards money.

"It's better to give money to the examiner than to send anything. I have been a poor scholar for many years, and all I need is money."

Jia Lian's eyes widened, "Sir, just send the bank note, okay?"

Jia Yucun smiled, "Yong Lian, your uncle has a calligraphy and painting shop in Jinling. Let's pick out a few unframed paintings and ask the shop assistant to deliver them. The painting assistant will say that if you like the painting, you can go to the shop." You can choose the mounting style, if you don’t like it, you can return or change it, they know how to do it.”

Jia Lian stared blankly at Jia Yucun.

Jia Yucun saw Jia Lian's dumbfounded look, and patiently pointed him out, "Yong Lian, these are all literati's noble tricks. Returning calligraphy and painting is not worth money, but the boss will ask them to keep calligraphy and give them moistening brushes. Hanlin bachelor's Calligraphy, a character is worth a thousand taels, which is reasonable, reasonable and legal, hehe..."

Jia Lian was opened up to a new world after being added to the "dishes" of the tail teeth feast by salt merchants at the end of last year.

On August 49th, Qiu Wei unveiled the list, and Jia Lian ranked [-]th among the [-] candidates.Jia Yucun did not give Jia Lian and Tongnian a party, and took Jia Lian directly from the just-concluded Luming Banquet to the big ship on the return journey.The boat enters the river and is released directly to the capital.

Before Jia Lian arrived at the capital, Lin Hai had already seen this autumn's Jinling Qiuwei's list of candidates in the Ministry of Rites.

But Lin Hai saw No.40 nine Jia Lian, grandfather Jia Daishan, father Jia She, ancestral home of Jinling.

Lin Hai widened his eyes in disbelief, then closed them, and looked again, still——

Lin Hai leaned back in his chair dejectedly. No matter how much he believed in Jia Lian's luck, cleverness, and hard work, he could guess what Jia Yucun did in the middle.

Lin Hai tried his best to restrain his emotions, and ordered someone to adjust the examination papers of Jinling Qiuwei.Then he called Lin Jin in and asked him to go to the Ministry of War to find Jia Amnesty, if he was not busy, he would come here now; otherwise, he would go to the Lin Mansion for dinner and talk to him if he had something to say.

After dismissing Lin Jin, Lin Hai thought about it, this Jia Yu Village is really too...Lin Hai regretted it a bit, he wanted Jia's mansion to avoid the hidden dangers of Jia Yu Village, but he might have put himself in it.

Several servants from the Ministry of Rites came in carrying two large boxes from Jinling.Followed in by Mr. Wang who kept the papers.He inspected the sealed sealant with Lin Hai before opening the box. Director Wang stood aside and watched Lin Hai look through the test papers one by one.

"Master Lin, but Jinling Qiuwei, what's wrong?"

Lin Hai smiled, and happened to turn to Jia Lian's policy theory, glanced over it, read it carefully, and then handed it to Mr. Wang who was standing aside, "How do you read this article?"

Mr. Wang was about the same age as Lin Hai, and he was also from the second list of Jinshi, and the middle Jinshi was less than ten years old.Mr. Wang read it carefully, then closed his eyes and thought about it before he said: "This article is three points passionate, two points immature, and five points sophisticated. A person who can write such a policy theory should be around [-] years old and not deeply involved in the world at first glance. People, but if you think about it carefully, there is a bit of vicissitudes hidden in the old way, mixed with some tactful handling, maybe the person who wrote this article was taught by more than one gentleman."

"What do you think of this person next spring?"

Director Wang smiled, "Master Lin, is this going to be an examination for the school's rank and title? Such passionate, content-rich, well-regulated, and not empty-talking articles, now that Enke has a tendency to select young people from schools, is it right to enter the second class?" Problematic. However, the imperial examination also depends on luck."

Lin Hai nodded. Isn't this a Jinshi article at the second-level level?

Master Wang looked at Jia Lian's other papers again, "Lord Lin, this Jia Lian should be relatively young, not in terms of writing skills, but in these poems and prose. You see, although it is spiritual, it has a bit of boudoir flavor. According to my guess, Maybe he is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he often plays poems and games with his family and sisters. If he takes one subject and takes the exam again, he may be like you."

Lin Hai also looked through Jia Lian's other papers, then put all the papers back, sealed them, sealed them with wax, and stamped his own seal.Master Wang also signed his name and stamped his seal.

"Lord Lin, to be honest, this person can be ranked among the top ten in Jinling Qiuwei. No. 49 is too low, at least a dozen or so can pass."

Lin Hai smiled, "It's good if you can win. There is no difference between Chuanlu and the last place in Erjia. This is already very good."

"Master Lin and this person?"

"This man is the grandson of Mrs. Zhang, the nephew of Mr. Zhang, Yushi Zhongcheng, and the direct grandson of Duke Rong Jia Daishan. But when you entered the court, they all passed away."

Master Wang showed a look of admiration, "Although Mrs. Zhang has passed away, no one in the Manchu Dynasty, especially the literati like us, has ever set an example for Mrs. Mrs. It is no wonder that such an article can be written. It turns out that Mrs. Zhang Fu's grandson."

Lin Hai nodded, "My nephew, the only disciple who entered the house. He happened to be crowned this year."

Master Wang admired: "Congratulations, my lord, next year may be another flower test."

Lin Hai shook his head, "Listen to you, take one subject, it will be safer in three years."

While the two were talking, Jia Amnesty hurried in from the outside.Master Wang saw that someone was looking for Shangguan, so he said goodbye to Lin Hai, led the servants, and went out with the paper box on their shoulders.

"Ru Hai, what's the matter?" Jia She heard that it must be an urgent matter for Lin Hai to find him.In a hurry, he pushed the matter at hand to his colleagues, and he was worried, so he gave careful instructions before coming over.

Lin Hai sent Lin Jin to guard the door, "Brother, I have something important to tell you, don't shout it out." Lin Hai took out his handkerchief and covered Jia Amnesty's mouth first.

"Lian'er Qiuwei is No. 40." Lin Hai's face was heavy.

Jia She's eyes widened...

"Brother, are you ready?" Lin Hai waited until Jia She nodded, then withdrew his hand, thought about it, and threw the handkerchief to Jia She. "Brother couldn't help it, he still covered his mouth and listened to Ruhai."

"Ruhai just read Jinling's examination papers. From the examination papers, Lian'er really has the level of middle school. 49 is too low. She should be in the top ten." Lin Hai was satisfied when he saw Jia She was surprised, and covered his mouth again. He smiled and said, "Jia Yucun, who accompanied Lian'er to take the exam, is a Jinshi in the second list. If Ruhai's guess is correct, then the articles on the exam paper were written by Lian'er and revised by Jia Yucun."

"Ruhai is saying that Jia Yucun got the test questions and asked Lian'er to do it first?"

Lin Hai nodded.

Jia She let out a low voice, "This Jia Yucun is too courageous. Where did you find the second-best Jinshi?"

"The year before last, Min'er had to take care of his son, so he had to hire another enlightenment teacher for Yu'er. Jia Yucun was exiled in Yangzhou due to illness, so he came to my house to teach Daiyu. After Lian'er left, he took over teaching Lian'er. He is a juan I was dismissed from office in the case of my boss and colleagues. Mr. Cheng read his case files and accepted my suggestion to let him recover and go to Yushitai. This person is a bit paranoid by nature, and he is too easy to exploit. Brother, this person is so unscrupulous, I I'm a little scared..."

Lin Hai's face was ashen, and he looked at Jia She dejectedly.

Jia She stared at Lin Hai, thought for a while, wanted to laugh, and clenched his fists loudly, "I want to use this matter to pinch us, hum! You don't have to be afraid, let him stay in Yushitai in Beijing for the rest of his life. This matter Leave it to me. You can rest assured that you will be the bridegroom the day after tomorrow."

Jia Amnesty's slap slapped Lin Hai's shoulder vigorously a few times, Lin Hai was so painful that he leaned sideways to dodge.Jia She laughed loudly, opened the door and left.

Behind Jia Amnesty was Lin Hai with a relaxed smile.
