"Brother Cong, Mammy knows you are unhappy. But when Hu Po comes over, don't show it in front of her! She will tell the old lady when she goes back!" Su Momo persuaded nervously.

After thinking for a while, Madam Su comforted her and said, "Brother Cong, don't mind too much. The old lady also thinks that you are too young to take the imperial examination, so she wants to delay you for two years. You He is also the grandson of the old lady, and the old lady is also distressed. Look, didn't the old lady order you to change this big yard for you?"

"The old lady's grandson?" After getting along for several years, Madam Su has always been very loyal to Jia Cong, and Jia Cong gradually regarded him as one of his own, and didn't mind saying a few words of his heart in front of her.He laughed sarcastically: "Besides Baoyu, who have so many grandchildren, which old lady is the most distressed? Even Lian's second elder brother, the rightful eldest grandson, is not in the mansion much worse than Baoyu's elder brother." Is it?"

"I changed this yard. That's the reward given to me by the old lady when she saw that I was knowledgeable and interesting. It's like her servant who is so rewarding to the old man. She doesn't love me!" Jia Cong said with a cold snort.

That year, after visiting her relatives, the concubine Xiande did not want to let the extremely extravagant Grand View Garden sit empty, so she issued a decree, saying that if the Grand View Garden were closed in a respectful manner, it would be a pity that it would be a pity that the sisters were allowed to live in it, and Baoyu followed Go in and read.

The Grand View Garden covers a vast area, is exquisitely built, and has excellent scenery everywhere.After this decree, everyone was very happy, and they all praised the noble concubine for being considerate and friendly, and each discussed and chose the residence they liked.However, among the masters who can live in the Grand View Garden, Jia Lian and Jia Cong from the first room and Jia Huan from the second room are not included.

After Jia Huan heard the news, he came to Jia Cong angrily, and yelled to vent his injustice: "Brother Cong, do you know that the sisters have all lived in the Grand View Garden, and Baoyu has followed him to study. The sisters live there. It should be, but among the males in our family, why is Baoyu the only one who can live there? If you want to worry about the defense between men and women, Lian's second brother has already married, and it is not convenient for him to live in the Grand View Garden. But Baoyu is not like us, he Isn’t it a man? Why can’t we live if he can live? In terms of age, he is older than us.”

"Besides, the Grand View Garden is so big, and there are still several large courtyards that no one can choose. The mansion would rather leave those lands empty than let us choose the poor places that no one wants. It's unfair! We also When I grew up, I was still crowded in that small courtyard, with maids and servants coming in and out, so noisy all day long that I couldn’t even calm down when I was studying! In the future, the master will check my homework and scold me for not studying hard! "

Jia Cong also has nothing to say, he himself has no idea of ​​living in the Grand View Garden.Otherwise, witnessing the beautiful scenery of today's beautiful day, and the process of slowly becoming bleak and deserted, I will feel sad in my heart.However, Jia Huan's indignation and indignation have also been deeply touched by him these years.On the whole, Jia Huan's situation is slightly better than his.Jia Huan is the child of the second bedroom. Although Aunt Zhao is vulgar and ignorant, she still protects her children earnestly.If the servants in the mansion treated Jia Huan badly, Aunt Zhao would dare to show her face and make a scene. Ordinary people would not be able to cause such trouble.Besides, Jia Zheng often rested at Aunt Zhao's place, and he would immediately notice if his servants neglected Aunt Zhao's mother and son.Therefore, no one dared to deduct much from Jia Huan's basic necessities of life.

Jia Cong is truly unsupported!Jia Amnesty has always only cared about his own happiness, and he doesn't care about the life or death of any of his children.Mrs. Xing wanted to take care of things, she used the excuse that Jia Cong was still young, and as a concubine, she had the responsibility to take care of him well, to be in charge of Jia Cong's monthly money and rewards, and to take the opportunity to fill her own pocket.

Jia Cong did not argue with him, and immediately agreed.However, after that, he would ask Mrs. Xing for money to buy various classics and classics from time to time, saying that it was an extra homework assigned to him by Master Confucianism.Mrs. Xing didn't believe it, so she sent people to the school to inquire, and Jia Dairu confessed.Mrs. Xing had no choice but to hold her nose and give the money.Those books are very expensive. After a few months of this, Madam Xing saw that not only did she not get any benefits, but if she continued, she would pay Jia Cong for the reputation of her loving mother, so she changed it in a hurry. My idea is that Dao Jia Cong has grown up and can learn to manage property by himself.Jia Cong happily took back his monthly money again, and resolved Mrs. Xing's greedy behavior without bloodshed.

If it was the original Jia Cong, then he could only live with humiliation, just like a male version of Yingchun.As Jia Cong, I worked hard to study and earn money, thinking of the fate of the Jia family in the future, I dare not slack off for a day, and I can't be idle for a moment.He slowly accumulated a modest fortune by writing in his notebooks and occasionally giving advice to businessmen he knew for compensation.He took out a small part to improve his life and take care of the servants around him, and the rest of the property was secretly stored in the safe rented by the pawnshop, just in case.The safe was made on the day he came up with the idea, the merchants discussed the regulations, and it was made, and now it has become a stable business in the pawn shop.

Whether it was the indifference of Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing, or the negligence of the servants, Jia Cong laughed it off.Everyone in the mansion said that Third Master Cong was a good-natured person who didn't care about anything.In fact, he already knew the tragic end of these people, so he was too lazy to care about it.But this time, he really couldn't bear the anger, his face was cold, and his eyes were burning with anger.

Jia Cong didn't complain with Jia Huan at that time, it didn't help at all, he just comforted Jia Huan with a few gentle words, the arrangement of Dao Niangniang made sense, why bother to complain, it's good to live in the courtyard now, so you don't have to worry about it .Jia Huan originally wanted to fan Jia Cong to make trouble together, but now seeing that Jia Cong was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to calm down and let it go.

But the servants of Jia's family were the most reticent, and it didn't take long for Jia's mother to know about it.Jia's mother hated Jia Huan's arrogance more and more. In contrast, Jia Cong's words and deeds were much more pleasing to the eye.Seeing that the girls and Baoyu had moved into the Grand View Garden, many houses were vacant in the mansion, so Jia's mother ordered Wang Xifeng to change Jia Cong's yard to live in, which was twice as big as his original one. The lush flowers and trees, and the furnishings are much better than Jia Cong's previous house.

In Jia's mother's words, that is: "Brother Cong is a polite and quiet man who deserves to be loved. He is not such a dark and vulgar man with evil intentions! Naturally, I won't treat him badly for such a good boy."

Jia Cong also went to thank the old lady specifically.At that time, he thought that although the old lady regarded Jia Baoyu as her heart and soul, she could justify it to other descendants, so he was slightly grateful.Who knows, he is still too naive!

"Brother Cong, you must not show any resentment!" Su Mama was startled, looked around quickly, and lowered her voice: "Otherwise, it will be a big deal if a charge of unfilial piety is suppressed." Look at the elder, such a self-indulgent person dare not disobey the old lady. No matter how wronged he is, he can only smash his teeth and swallow his blood. He is still the master of the orthodox Rongguo Mansion, let alone you!"

"Actually, brother, you want to open more. You are so young, it's nothing if you don't take the scholar exam now. When you get more familiar with the book, you can pass the exam once, isn't it great? Listen Said, the college can take the exam twice in three years, so don't worry too much!"

Jia Cong's face was gloomy, and he sighed softly: "But, I can't wait!" Yes, he has to race against time, and he has no time to waste.

Jia Dairu solemnly told him that he has learned nothing in ethnology, and now with his knowledge, he can try to take part in the children's examination.The county examination will be in February next year; if he passes, he can take the government examination in April; when he passes both examinations, he will be born as a child.If he passed the court examination successfully, he would become a scholar, a man of merit, exempted from corvee service, and would not kneel before the magistrate, and could not be tortured casually in court.Jia Cong could take the exam in the capital, and if he got good grades in the government exam, he would be classified as an "endowed student", and he could also enter the Imperial College to study.There are many famous teachers in Guozijian, if you try hard to ask for advice, you will definitely make great progress in your knowledge.Even if he couldn't enter the Imperial Academy, he used to have a few good friends who were all learned people. As long as Jia Cong passed the examination of scholar, he would be able to recommend him with shamelessness and ask them to accept him as a disciple. two.

Jia Cong was very excited when he heard this. In order to prepare for the children's test, he stepped up his research and even stopped writing the words in the notebook for the time being.The news that he was going to take the scientific examination could not be concealed from the Jia family, because he had to prepare for the examination, arrange carriages and horses, meals during the examination, etc., and he had to find someone to confirm the certificate.In addition, he didn't think about hiding it. He thought that if his children were willing to make progress, wouldn't it be a good thing for the family?In Ning Rong Second Mansion, apart from Jia Jing, who had already become a monk and practiced Taoism, no one had achieved fame, not even a scholar.

Unexpectedly, yesterday, Mother Jia sent someone to tell him that he is still young and there is no need to rush for the imperial examination.No matter how good you are, you can study for two years and go to the final exam with Baoyu and Jia Huan, and you will have a companion with each other.Although the tone was calm, the decision was unquestionable.

Jia Cong was so angry that his body trembled.With Baoyu and Jia Huan?What Jia Mu meant was actually for Jia Baoyu!If Baoyu doesn't go to the imperial examination for a day, he and Jia Huan will also accompany him?And he knew the plot, before Jia's family ransacked his home, Jia Baoyu would not take the imperial examination at all. Sister Lin and Sister Bao get along happily

But he, because Jia Mu thought about his beloved grandson, was about to have his flying wings broken, and was forced to be engulfed in that tragic fate?

With a glimmer of hope, he went to Jia She, explained the situation and his desire to take part in the imperial examination and win glory for the master, and hoped to get Jia She's support and help.But obviously, he overestimated Jia She's integrity. An orthodox knight who had been squeezed out for more than ten years but did not dare to resist, and also had a cold nature, how could he be willing to fight with a first-rank Duke for a bastard he didn't care about? Is your mother-in-law and old lady right?

Jia Amnesty replied disapprovingly, since the old lady has made a decision, then you just obey.How can you be so anxious at such a young age?Even if you go there, you can't pass the exam. For so many years, the Jia family has never produced a single seed of study!Born in a family like ours, there is no need to compete with poor people for future fame, and I only study to understand better than others

Jia Cong lowered his head and listened to Jia She's babbling, his heart was on fire, and he just wanted to punch him.

Jia Cong stood upright with a cold face, but soon, he tried his best to control his emotions.Now is not the time to be impulsive, he needs to settle down and think about countermeasures.Putin once said that anger without strength is meaningless!He vented his dissatisfaction at Amber bitterly, accusing Jia Mu of being unfair?That is completely harmful and useless except that I feel that I have let out a sigh of relief.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried hard to adjust his mentality.

"Master Cong, the old lady ordered me to give you this jade pendant from the Tang Dynasty and this fine inkstone." With this crisp voice, Hu Po came into the room.

"It turned out to be Sister Hu Po. The old lady just sent a little maid to go, why bother my sister, I really can't afford it!" Jia Cong had regained his calm at this time, and said with a smile.
