Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Qiu Wei is just around the corner, and the Lin family is also preparing intensively.Lin Daiyu inquired about it from various aspects and gained a lot of knowledge.Among the imperial examinations, the provincial examination, the provincial examination, and the general examination are the most important for scholars. Qualifications, at least you can become a local official and gentry, and you can get rid of poverty completely economically. Since then, your destiny has changed, and you have money, status and status. Refer to "Fan Jinzhongju" in the Chinese textbook.Compared with a scholar, juren is a step up in social class.As for Jinshi, that is the ultimate goal of scholars, but it is extremely difficult to achieve, and it may not be achieved in a lifetime, so everyone does not put too much hope in it.

The benefits are huge, but the conditions of Qiuwei are also the most difficult.The nine-day and nine-night exams, the cramped and crude exam room, the hot weather, and the unpleasant smell are all extremely torturous. Many candidates can't make it through. After they come out, they often suffer serious illnesses, and some even suffer from poor health. Those who died, such as Jia Zhu from the Jia family, went directly to Qiu Wei as a student supervisor, and fell ill after leaving the examination room. Even the Jia family gave him all the rare medicinal materials to nurse him, but they couldn't save him.

Lin Daiyu was also worried about Lin Chenxi, and she began nourishing and recuperating him a few months before Qiu Wei, supervising him to exercise. Some Taoist methods of regulating breath and health are very effective. During the three years of keeping filial piety, she invited Gao Taoist guidance early He practiced.In addition, Lin Chenxi's body has always been healthy, and she is in her youth, so it should be no problem, right?

Lin Chenxi watched Lin Daiyu and Xiao Zhuer carefully arrange the items to be brought into the examination room for him, her heart warmed, and she comforted them and said, "Don't worry, didn't father also pass the exams back then? He can do it, I can too!"

Lin Daiyu thinks about it. Lin Chenxi's body is much better than Lin Ruhai's.But caring is chaotic, she still taught him earnestly, don't take an imperial examination too seriously, just treat it as a calamity, and you must take care of your health, that is the foundation of the future.He is still young, but the road of life is very long, so don't panic, just stretch your mind.Although she also hopes that the Lin family will prosper, she is more concerned about her brother's safe and happy life

After pouring the bowls of chicken soup for the soul, Lin Chenxi's heart warmed and stretched, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he seemed to relax a little: "I know, sister, don't worry!"

Lin Daiyu sighed in her heart as she looked at Lin Chenxi with a firm expression between her brows.Lin Chenxi has seen the ups and downs of the past few years. With the idea of ​​revitalizing the Lin family and protecting her and little Pearl, she has been working tirelessly and has strict self-discipline. This child has a sense of responsibility. Lin Daiyu even If you want to persuade him, don't ask too much of yourself!

In sharp contrast to Lin Chenxi, it was Jia Baoyu.Everyone with a discerning eye can see the decline of Jia's family. In fact, Jia Baoyu may not have no feeling at all, but he still lives happily every day.Anyway, if anyone is short-changed in the family, he will not be short-lived. Naturally, he does not want to follow what the Lu beetles did.Lin Chenxi's actions, in his eyes, may only be a pity, "How can a good person become vulgar?" ', instead of introspection ashamed!No matter how the red scholars praised Jia Baoyu for his spirituality and anti-feudalism, Lin Daiyu believed that if they had to choose one of Lin Chenxi and Jia Baoyu as their son, [-]% of them would not choose Jia Baoyu!Ye Gong likes dragons, that's all.

A few months later, before the summer heat receded and the cool weather had not arrived, autumn began.In the crowd, Lin Chenxi was carrying a test basket, which contained all kinds of long-lasting and nutritious food, pills for wind, cold, diarrhea and other diseases, insect repellent pills, refreshing and refreshing medicines carefully prepared by his sister and sister. ointment.He was young and handsome, with a bright temperament, among a large group of examinees who looked much older than him, he was particularly pleasing to the eye, and the soldiers who came to guard couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Sitting in the car, Lin Daiyu and Lin Zhu saw Lin Chenxi waving at them from a distance, turned around and walked briskly into the gate of the Gongyuan.Lin Daiyu put down the curtain of the carriage until she could no longer see Lin Chenxi, and ordered the driver to say, "Go back!"

Although she thoughtfully comforted Lin Chenxi, Lin Daiyu was actually uneasy in her heart, not as calm as she appeared on the surface.Because Qiu Wei was indeed a gateway to Lin Chenxi's fate, she had to pay attention to it.

In Jia's mansion, at the Rongqing hall, Jia's mother was also discussing this matter: "Today is the big day of Qiu Wei, and Chenxi from the Lin family is also coming off this year. Remember, if he is on the list, our family will go to the Lin family. Congratulations!"

"Brother Feng, don't forget, you can't be picky about etiquette like last time when you went back to the Lin family to show filial piety!" She instructed Wang Xifeng.

"Just don't worry, old lady. I've ordered people to watch it." Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "But can brother Lin win this round? I heard that only one of the hundred talents can be selected as a juren. Although brother Lin is smart, he is old He's a little younger, and some candidates have been off the stage several times, so they have more experience than him!"

"Hmph, how does this kid from a poor family have such luck? Of course he won't win. Brother Feng, don't waste your time!" Madam Wang reluctantly swallowed the words.

Lin Chenxi was adopted by Lin Ruhai, and she will inherit the huge family wealth of the Lin family in the future; with Lin Ruhai's glory, she became a student of the Imperial College, and can enjoy the best educational resources; when she was the first time off, she was selected as a scholar, so God has always loved him, Do you still want him to win?Thinking that he had such a good life that even Baoyu couldn't keep up, she felt jealous and resentful, secretly cursing Lin Chenxi for having an accident in the examination room.

Mother Jia's expression was a little uncertain. She had mixed feelings. She was worried that Lin Chenxi would pass the exam immediately, and with the status of a juvenile candidate, he would become more and more popular. I don't know how many officials would think of him.At that time, the Jia family wanted to talk about marriage, but Yingchun Tanchun was only a concubine, so it would be even more embarrassing. The two families didn't make a clear marriage contract, so it took a lot of effort!

But if Lin Chenxi had a promising future, wouldn't the Jia family benefit more if it happened?Maybe Lin Chenxi is the second Lin Ruhai?Tanchun is beautiful and capable, so she is more suitable.If Tanchun can win Lin Chenxi's heart, he will still be in charge of the Lin family after all, and Lin Daiyu won't insist on fighting against her grandmother, right?

Oh, what a dilemma!Jia Mu hesitated, let's wait and see, it's only a month's work!

Lin Chenxi was quite embarrassed when she came out of the examination room, but fortunately, she was not in bad spirits.When I got home, I fell asleep after taking a bath.After a day and a night, Lin Chenxi, who was refreshed and refreshed, was revived with full blood, and became a heroic and healthy young man again!Lin Daiyu told him not to think about anything, and to rest and relax at home, just calmly wait for the list.Gains and losses should be treated with a normal heart as much as possible.Lin Daiyu gave him a few Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures to read, saying that there are still some truths in them that can inspire people.

Lin Chenxi took a copy of the "Southern China Classic", and saw Lin Daiyu's annotations on it, she was a little surprised, most of the girls in her boudoir also recited poems and songs, Lin Daiyu was really different.He jokingly asked: "Sister likes Taoist classics so much, do you want to become a monk?"

"Why not?" Lin Daiyu replied half-truthfully, "Isn't this more pure and comfortable than being in the world?".Lin Chenxi naturally felt that her sister was joking, so she laughed it off and didn't take it to heart.

A month later, it was the day of the list.While everyone was waiting anxiously, the Lin family received another piece of great news.Amidst the continuous sound of good news, the servants hung a long string of firecrackers and set them off at the gate of the Lin Mansion, and the copper coins were scattered out to make everyone feel happy.The people around the Lin residence were also officials and eunuchs, they came to congratulate them one after another, feeling that the Lin family has successors, their sons and daughters are promising, and they are about to prosper.

The news spread quickly, and the Jia family learned about it that day, and everyone felt mixed feelings.Mother Jia sat silently in the Rongqing hall for a long time, and ordered people to call Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng to tell them all about her plan and ask them for their opinions.

Although Mrs. Wang is dissatisfied and jealous of the Lin family, she is still very satisfied with the family background and property of the Lin family. Besides, she is not without choices.Wang Xifeng felt a little uneasy in her heart. She had dealt with Lin Daiyu a few times, and she knew that she was not easy to mess with. She couldn't help but said: "Old lady, I heard that sister Lin has been favored by the queen's empress recently. Like this, you will No?"——It's fine if it works this time, if it doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll offend the Lin family to death!

"No way?" Mother Jia sighed wearily: "It's fine for Yu'er to be indifferent to me, she can't even be disobedient to her mother!" Why should she disregard her face and the weak relationship with Lin Daiyu to plot against the Lin family?How could she not know that Lin Daiyu would hate her to the bone even if this happened!

"Brother Feng, go and prepare a decent gift. Send a message to the Lin family and order people to prepare carriages and horses. The second wife and I, the day after tomorrow, you bring Yingchun and Tanchun, and we go to congratulate Brother Chenxi! That's it! How can our natal family stay out of it. By the way, you order people to prepare clothes and jewelry for Yingchun and Tanchun, and dress them up beautifully. If there is no suitable one, let Yuanyang go to my private room to find it." Mother Jia said generously.
