Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

"I heard that brother Cong passed the examination of scholar." In the Grand View Garden, all the sisters were chatting happily together, and whoever mentioned this sentence, they started to talk about it.

"That's right," Yingchun said happily when he heard the news early on, "Besides, Brother Cong is still in the front rank, he is the top student, and he can enter the Imperial College to study. He will stay at home for a few more days. Today, we will go." She is the one who is most happy that Jia Cong can have a future.Jia Cong has always been nice to her, and Si Qi and Xiu Ju have always told her that the person she can count on the most in the mansion is Brother Cong.Although Brother Cong has already succeeded, as long as he still treats himself as his elder sister, he will still take care of him.In terms of emotion and reason, she was happy for Jia Congzhong, a scholar.

"That's a good thing. It's not easy to be a scholar, and it's even more difficult to get into the Imperial College. You have to be born to be qualified." Li Wan sighed.Her deceased husband, Jia Zhu, took Jia Lian's place to become a supervisor of the Imperial College, and then moved her father, who was a civil servant, to betroth herself to him.However, Jia Cong, who came out as a successor, was young, and by virtue of his own ability, he became a scholar and even entered the Imperial College.In this way, Jia Cong is better than Jia Zhu.

She couldn't help but cast a glance at Jia Baoyu who was chatting and laughing with Lin Daiyu.They all knew half of the inside story of Jia Cong's succession, and Li Wan's heart was mixed with complex emotions of displeasure and vigilance. It was unexpected that the people in the mansion would value Baoyu so much!Today he can succeed the innocent and promising Cong brother for him, how can he know if he will sacrifice his own Lange for it in the future?In terms of etiquette, Lange'er is a great-grandson, more noble than Baoyu! □□Is the national government a place where rules are respected?

Tanchun bit his lip and remained silent.That day, after she heard the news, she met Jia Huan who was playing and having fun, and she couldn't help scolding him a few times, comparing Jia Cong with him, scolding him for not being up to date, and not wanting to make progress at all.

Jia Huan was annoyed by what she said, and replied with a sneer: "Third Sister, Brother Cong is a man of integrity, but isn't he being succeeded by the old lady and the others, and sent to Mr. Confucian's home to suffer poverty? Why? , don’t you really understand? I heard that the old lady only allowed him to go to the children’s examination with Baoyu, for fear that he would pass Baoyu. Goof around!"

"You only tell me to make progress, because you are afraid that my wife will not follow me? Third sister, you just go to please your wife, but you don't need to take me and my aunt as a raft! I am learning from Brother Baoyu. Could it be that He and girls gather flowers and weeds, make rouge and so on, so he is more motivated than me?"

At that time, Tanchun was so angry that his face turned pale, he only pointed at Jia Huan and was speechless.Jia Huan ignored him, shook his hand, turned his head and left.

"I was at the old lady's place, and I heard people talking about it. Why, didn't Brother Cong come to say hello to the old lady?" Shi Xiangyun asked.

"Yun'er, Brother Cong has been adopted by the Confucian grandpa of the clan." Xue Baochai shook his head and said.She felt that the old lady's move was inappropriate, and when her brother talked about Jia Cong, he always praised him, saying that he was extremely clever and thoughtful.Not only him, but all the businessmen who knew him said so, and Jia Cong was not a person who mixed with Xue Pan in his daily life. To be able to receive such admiration shows that he must have something extraordinary.Now, when he first came out of the game, he was selected as a scholar. He really has some skills, what a pity!

"Although he is an heir, doesn't he remember the family's kindness of nurturing? He is really a white-eyed wolf!" Shi Xiangyun has always been kind to Jia's mother, angrily complaining about Jia's injustice.

The girls present were all silent, knowing the inside story, it was hard for them to utter words of reprimand to Jia Cong.

Naturally, Mother Jia also knew the news, she paused in her heart, but she didn't take it seriously.A scholar is just the most basic fame, and it is insignificant compared to the prominent Duke's Mansion.Wasn't Jia Dairu also selected as a scholar in those days? Isn't he doing nothing and living a mediocre life? What kind of climate has become?

But Jia's family is born in Wu Xun, very few people can get fame, almost none in recent years.Therefore, Jia Cong was selected as a scholar, especially because he still passed the exam and was still young, which caused some small waves, and the clan issued a reward to reward him.Jia Dairu and his wife couldn't help but feel that their faces were bright, and they kept smiling all day long.

Resting at home for a few days, Jia Cong went to the Imperial College to study.Next year, a township examination will happen to be held.If you fail this time, you will have to wait another two years.Among scholars, a scholar is only a basic introduction, and only one who can win a prize can be counted as a step up, and then it can be regarded as a real fame.People only call them 'Master Jinshi' and 'Master Juren', but no one calls them Master Xiucai.

He felt that Jia Dairu poured deep desire into him for his examination, maybe he wanted to make up for the regret that his ambition could not be rewarded.Jia Dairu was getting old, and Jia Cong really wanted to let him see with his own eyes that he was admitted as a scholar, a scholar, and a Jinshi step by step in his lifetime as a reward.

Moreover, he also hopes to work hard so that he can leave the capital far away before Jia's house is raided, so as to avoid trouble.He is not the savior of the world, and he didn't expect that he, who had escaped from the quagmire of Rongguo Mansion, would be forced to bear the burden of the Jia family.

Even though at that time in terms of etiquette, he and the Rongguo Mansion were only distant relatives, but people like Jia Mu, Jia She, and Mrs. Xing, he couldn't trust their character at all. For Baoyu and for himself to live comfortably, he This bastard who has been adopted and still has some skills, can't he hold on tightly?

To leave the capital without arousing suspicion, the best way is to pass the Jinshi examination and be released as an official.

Therefore, even though he has escaped the danger of ransacking his home, he still cannot stop working hard.

Jia Cong began to study in the Imperial College.When he first entered the Imperial College, Jia Cong seemed ordinary.Because in the capital, there are many tribute students and supervising students, all of whom are the children of prominent families with official titles, or at least come from wealthy families.Their status is equivalent to that of a scholar, and they can directly participate in the provincial examination for Juren.Birth and privilege endow them with a sense of superior pride.

In the past, Jia Cong was considered the son of General Wei Lie Jia She, a descendant of Duke Rong, so he could barely be included in the same class as them.Today's identity is just a member of the Jia family's side branch, a down-and-out child, far from those tribute students and supervisors.When it comes to talent and learning, Jia Cong is not the kind of amazing talent that makes people fall in love at first sight.For such a gap, Jia Cong accepted it frankly, and didn't care about the attitudes of others. He just focused on studying hard. The doctors in charge of teaching saw it in their eyes, and felt that this life was a firm heart, so they couldn't help but think highly of him.

Jia Dairu also had a classmate surnamed Liang who was born in a poor family in the Guozijian. Because of Jia Dairu's help, he formed a friendship.Unlike Jia Dairu, Liang Sheng developed quite smoothly. He took the exam all the way, and finally won the top three Jinshi.

For Jia Cong's sake, Jia Dairu found Dr. Liang and asked him to take care of Jia Cong.Dr. Liang was sympathetic to what happened to his old friend, and he was especially concerned about Jia Cong. He also invited several close colleagues to give Jia Cong advice when they were cheap.

There is a very capable Confucian Dr. Wang in Guozijian. He is particularly outstanding in classics, righteousness, policy and theory, and he is also good at teaching.Students who have been instructed by him to prescribe the right medicine to the case often achieve a lot in the imperial examination room, and they can be called the No. 1 teacher of the Imperial College.Helpless, he is not very willing to teach in private, there are too many students in the Imperial College, if you mentor one of them, what about the rest, don't you feel jealous?If the guidance is not effective, it will also attract resentment and damage your reputation.He has already achieved great success and fame, and his family business is also well-off, so why bother to engage in such a thing?

For Jia Dairu's entrustment, Dr. Liang also bit the bullet and came to Dr. Wang, wanting to invite him to guide Jia Cong. It would be the best if he could be accepted as a disciple.If Dr. Wang didn't want to, he had no choice but to go into battle by himself, but the effect was definitely not as good as Dr. Wang's.

Sure enough, Dr. Wang politely declined Dr. Liang's request, bluntly saying that he was old and decrepit, and he no longer had the energy and energy to accept apprentices, so he should hire someone else.

Dr. Liang felt very sorry, but he had no choice but to give up. He worked hard to tutor Jia Cong, trying to make him better and stand out in the provincial examination.During these days of getting along with him, he gradually fell in love with this child. He is hard-working, calm, and has a mature atmosphere beyond his age.

He thought to himself, such a child will have a future in the future, it just depends on whether the road goes smoothly.Moreover, you have to hurry up, you can't waste the years, your old friend may not have too much time to wait.Back then, he was born in a poor family, and from time to time he was helped by Jia Dairu, the son of the Duke's Mansion, so he could live with dignity in the Guozijian.Now, he is not very rich, but he has a decent status and a decent life, but Jia Dairu is down and out, so he has been reluctant to associate with his old friends for many years.Now, it is rare for him to earnestly ask for help, but he himself fails to do it, alas!He felt a little ashamed to face his old friend.

The mountain is poor and the river is full of doubts and no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and another village!Just when Dr. Liang was helpless, this matter turned for the better.That day, I came to see a friend at the Imperial Academy, um, mainly because I was worried about Jia Cong. Jia Dairu, who came to visit, was talking to Dr. Liang on the corridor.

Jia Dairu was both proud and worried when he said about Jia Cong: "Brother Cong is not an ordinary child. Life is not easy for a concubine who has no one to protect him in that mansion. He needs to take care of slaves to make life easier. Therefore, since he was young, he has been He secretly wrote the scripts to make money, and he actually became famous, but he didn't want to show his real name. You know what happened to his biological father in that mansion. But he is a sensible and filial child, and he took the initiative to Give the old wife all the previous remuneration for the manuscript."

"Brother Cong still has such abilities?" Dr. Liang asked in surprise: "Then what kind of script did he write, and what name did he use?"

"The storybook, is it those talented scholars and beauties, and the common sayings of the market?" Dr. Wang's heart sank, and he raised his legs and wanted to walk farther. He is not a person who listens to people's corners.

The next moment, he was stopped by Jia Dairu's words: "Brother Cong writes detective stories, one by one. The name is "Dawn Detective Record". He used a pseudonym called: Aliens!"

"What, this was written by Brother Cong?" Dr. Liang exclaimed, "Many people in our Guozijian also like to read it. We all guess that it was written by someone from the Ministry of Punishment?"

He asked in disbelief: "I never expected that he came up with the inferences in this book and the unexpected facts of the case? Brother Cong was still a young boy when he started writing this book, right? Now his age Not too big!"

"This is probably his talent, and no one taught him!" Jia Dairu said, and then sighed: "It's just that he needs someone to teach and temper him in the imperial examination! If he wins the scholar, I will no longer have the ability But I can teach him, fortunately, Brother Liang, you are here!"

Dr. Liang also sighed: "Speaking of which, in our Guozijian, Dr. Wang is the best at instructing students in the imperial examinations, but I couldn't invite him. I also try my best, just do my best. If it's him Brother Cong, I hope this time Qiu Wei will be bigger!"

"How can we expect so much from a small family!" Jia Dairu shook his head and said, "Brother Liang, it is already Cong'er's blessing that you can guide him!"

"Jia Cong is that 'Outsider', did he really write the Detective Collection?" Dr. Wang couldn't help asking when he heard this.

"Dr. Wang!" Dr. Liang called out in surprise, and Jia Dairu immediately knew the identity of the visitor, and greeted him a little nervously.
