[Red Chamber] I just want to be a dummy

"So Wang Zisheng is going to be Xiaojiu's companion to read?" Listening to the gossip of the well-informed eighth prince, Jia Jing simply didn't even write the script, just put down his pen and started listening to the gossip.

This is so true that even the scriptures dare not write it like this, Jia Jing thought to himself, if he hadn't stepped in at the beginning and persuaded the woman not to write the deed of sale, maybe there would be no such thing.

Jia Jing remembered that in his previous life, Wang Ziteng seemed to have no children, only one adopted daughter.

Everyone only thought that Wang Ziteng and his wife were deeply in love with each other, and that's why they didn't take concubines even though his wife had been infertile for many years.

From the looks of it now, did this happen in my previous life?

It's just that it didn't make such a big fuss?

"Yes, after all, it is Wang Zisheng's biological mother. Although Wang Zisheng is not at fault for making such a fuss, his younger brothers and sisters regard him as an enemy after all. There are rumors outside, so it is better to let Wang Zisheng come. In the palace, reading with Xiao Jiu is also a way out in the future." The Eighth Prince analyzed.

"Xiao Jiu, you should treat the prince better in the future." The eighth prince had already seen the meaning of the Wang family at this time.The Wang family made a fuss about it, and lost a headed wife and a son-in-law. Although Wang Zisheng seemed to have nothing to do, he was subjected to a lot of gossip after all.

For the sake of this, the Wang family probably didn't have any idea of ​​seizing the heir, earning any merit from the dragon, and only wanted to preserve the current wealth and the fat job of governing the world's shipping.

And getting on Xiaojiu's boat is the best choice for the royal family. Anyway, the ninth prince is also a direct prince. As long as he can live in peace, a prince title will be indispensable in the future.And the Wang family stood behind Xiaojiu, so they didn't have to bear the risk of seizing the throne, and they could have a prince to protect them.

The fact that the Wang family can stand on Xiao Jiu's side has a lot of benefits for Xiao Jiu, at least in terms of money, Xiao Jiu will definitely not be short of money.

In view of the fact that the Ninth Prince had read with him before, and his cousins ​​who were first relatives didn't catch a cold, that's why the Eighth Prince had such a reminder.

"I know, I know, as long as he is a smart person and doesn't babble, I can still treat him badly?" The Ninth Prince looked at the script and said without raising his head.

He didn't like his cousin Luo Jianlin at first, but more because his family had too many thoughts, and Luo Jianlin even boldly persuaded him to seize the heir.

The queen was originally unwilling to make such an arrangement. After all, the Wang family belonged to the prince's party, and the companions were regarded as a close family, but it was impossible for the Wang family to make people feel at ease.

After all, who knows whether the Wang family is for the crown prince or the ninth prince, and the queen doesn't want to waste such a precious companionship.

But the old lady of the Wang family asked the emperor in person. After the emperor got older, he always treated the veterans who had followed him on the battlefield very preferentially. The request of the Wang family was not something embarrassing. The Wang family was really miserable this time, and the emperor agreed as soon as his heart softened.

When the emperor agreed, the queen always had no room for detours, so she could only hold her nose and agree, and she had to help Wang Zisheng clean up the house.

Wang Zisheng is also the son of a high-ranking official, and he also came to the palace since he was a child. He also has Jia Jing, a brother from a well-known family, and the eighth and ninth princes are both kind-hearted. down.

After school, the Ninth Prince hurriedly took Wang Zisheng to the Eighth Prince's yard, and didn't say hello to the owner, the Eighth Prince, when he entered the door, he just took off his shoes and sat on the kang, and then complained.

"Hey, get out of class is over, and I feel sleepy while studying. Starling, where are the books?"

"Hey, there are only so many books here, you can read carefully." The Eighth Prince handed over the books.

Wang Zisheng looked at the behavior of these two princes, and was really confused. Although he had heard that the two princes had a good relationship outside the palace, he really did not expect such a good relationship.

Look at the Analects that the Eighth Prince handed to the Ninth Prince?

Isn't this book what the masters taught in class?Didn't the Ninth Prince complain all the way here?Why did you come to see the Eighth Prince?

Seeing that Wang Zisheng couldn't let go, Jia Jing quickly pulled Wang Zisheng to sit down and said, "The two of them have this kind of personality, you can just call them Xiaoba Xiaojiu."

"Come on, Zisheng, you can also take a copy." Seeing this, the Ninth Prince also realized that he had to treat his companion better, so he picked up a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" and handed it to Wang Zisheng.

Wang Zisheng opened the "Analects of Confucius" in a daze, only to find that there was a universe inside. It turned out that the outside was the Analects, and the inside became "The Legend of Two Dogs Cultivating Immortals".

"I didn't expect that, in order to be able to read the script, my mynah specially asked someone to wrap a book cover outside." The Ninth Prince said triumphantly.

"Ancestor, you can keep your voice down." The Eighth Prince hurriedly pulled the Ninth Prince and said.

These words were originally collected after the Eighth Prince spent so much effort after Dai Quan's raid.

"By the way, Mynah, how did you bring these words in." The Ninth Prince asked curiously.

Ever since the emperor knew that the eighth prince was not doing his job properly after reading the scriptures, he strictly ordered the guards to search carefully at the gate of the palace, and he was determined not to let anyone bring the scriptures into the palace for the eighth prince.

How did my starling do it, the Ninth Prince was a little curious.

"Pfft." Jia Jing laughed outright after hearing the question from the Ninth Prince, "The Eighth Prince asked the little eunuch who transported the bucket to bring it in."

"Ouch..." The Ninth Prince thought that he was too excited when he saw the new script, and even kissed the script, so he almost vomited.

"What are you disgusting about? It's not brought in in a bucket." The Eighth Prince patted the back of the Ninth Prince's head and said.

****

The emperor finally announced one month before the county examination twice in three years that the offspring of officials with a rank of four or above could take the imperial examination in the counties in the suburbs of Beijing.

Officials were naturally very happy with those whose hometowns were outside the capital, especially those who originally wanted their heirs to take the imperial examination, but were afraid that their nephews would be too young to return to their hometowns, so they didn't make it.

But the students in the counties on the outskirts of Beijing didn't make a fuss because someone competed with them for places.

After all, it was even said that five places would be added, and students were all self-important, and they would only think that these places would belong to them.

The children of high-ranking officials, in their view, are ignorant and incompetent. Aren't these quotas given to them in the county?

Especially those from nearby counties, even envy this county.

Jia's family has never passed the imperial examination, and they don't know anything about the imperial examination.

His son was going to take the exam, Jia Daihua was so nervous that he was running around like a headless chicken, but he didn't have much experience, so he seemed a lot more nervous than Jia Fu.

Where else can I properly prepare those scientific research items for Jia Fu.

But isn't this Xu Yi from the mansion next door?

Xu Yi had originally decided for Jia She to go to the scientific examination. Although he might not succeed, it would be good to see the world.

And Xu Yi is a half-teacher with Jia Fu, so preparing Jia Amnesty's items is preparation, and it doesn't matter if one more person is prepared.

Therefore, Xu Yi and Rongguo Mansion helped prepare the Jia Fu scientific research.

Shi Shi has been busy fighting with Jia Daishan's two skinny horses, so he didn't have time to take care of Jia She and Xu Yi.

By the time she knew that Jia Amnesty was going to take the county exam, the registration had already ended, and Jia Amnesty was waiting to take the exam the next day.

Seeing his beloved youngest son Jia Zheng anxiously watching Jia Amnesty go out with the test basket, Shi hurriedly comforted him.

"My son, it doesn't matter if we are a wealthy family like us, and we pass the examination as a scholar. We don't rely on this to make a living."

It's really not that Shi Shi is sour, but in her concept, even if she wins Jinshi, she is just a seventh-rank sesame official.

What is Qipin?To put it bluntly, the housekeepers of Rongguo Mansion are much more prestigious than those seventh-rank county magistrates outside.

Good reading, it's just Shi's marketing personality for Jia Zheng, just to highlight that Jia Zheng, who he raised himself, is more progressive and smarter than Jia She.

As for the imperial examination to become an official?

In Shi's plan, there is no such item.

It is better to ask Jia Daishan to submit a memorial to seek a private seal, or spend a sum of money to find a position if he is bitterly going to take the imperial examination.That's at least a fifth-rank official, wouldn't it be more prestigious than those Jinshi who are making money.

However, Jia Zheng had also been influenced by orthodox scholars, so he naturally felt that the imperial examination was important, so Jia Zheng would not be comforted by Shi's persuasion.

Shi Shi was originally worried about those two skinny horses, seeing that Jia Zheng not only didn't share his worries for him, but also drooped his face, and instead blamed her for not giving Jia Zheng a county test, Shi Shi was naturally not very happy.

But at any rate, it was his son who had loved him for many years, so Shi Shi calmed down and comforted him: "Your elder brother, it's not that you don't know, so what if you take the exam, he can still pass the exam?"

These words comforted Jia Zheng's heart, and Jia Zheng was relieved.

In Jia Zheng's mind, his eldest brother is just a useless trash snack, how could he possibly pass the exam if he is like himself?

In the future, after I pass the county examination, government examination, and courtyard examination, and I am selected as a scholar, a scholar, and a Jinshi, Jia Amnesty may still take the county examination?

Jia Amnesty was only a few years older than himself, so what if he took the county test a few years earlier, he said he couldn't compare to his own.

Jia Zheng comforted himself in his heart.

As for Jia Fu, both Shi Shi and Jia Zheng ignored him subconsciously.

Because everyone knows that apart from Jia Fu's poor health, Jia Fu really has no other shortcomings.

Even if Shi Shi and Jia Zheng were unwilling to admit it, deep down in their hearts, they felt that Jia Fu would definitely win.

However, neither Shi nor Jia Zheng expected that Jia Amnesty, who they regarded as unlearned and incompetent, passed the exam.

Even though he just passed the county exam and wasn't even a child, Jia She...he... passed the exam.
