The Red House of the Concubine of the Jia Family

Nanny Lin probably did what Jia Xuan said after she went back. Half a month later, Jia Xuan invited Daiyu to visit again, and Daiyu's mental and physical conditions improved a lot.

Less than a month later, Lin Zhong, the second housekeeper of the Lin family, brought someone into Beijing and lived in the old house of the Lin family.And quickly set up two shops and a Zhuangzi in the capital, which looks like a long-term residence plan.

"Mother, Uncle clearly sent someone back to Beijing to live in the Lin Mansion, but he didn't take my cousin back to the mansion and let her still live in Jia's house. What do you mean by Uncle?"

"What do you think?" Jia Xuan continued to look at the account book in her hand without looking up.

"Tell me, could it be that my cousin wrote a letter and complained to my uncle?" Lu Cen'er felt that if she was wronged outside, she would definitely write to her parents to complain.

"It's also possible, but I think Mother Lin wrote something..."

"Well, but why doesn't my uncle let my cousin go back to live?" The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as my own kennel, and staying there is not as good as staying at home. You can do whatever you want.

"You're too young to understand." Jia Xuan finally stopped what she was doing this time, and reached out to touch her daughter's head, "Your uncle is also a loving girl."

With Lin Zhong watching in the capital, he took Daiyu back to live for a few days from time to time, and with so many people around Daiyu, the Jia family naturally did not dare to treat Daiyu poorly, and at the same time, with the Jia family standing in front of them, Daiyu would not Need to deal with the gossip about growing up without a female elder to teach you after losing your mother.

It can be said that Lin Ruhai handled this matter quite properly.

The problem on Daiyu's side has been resolved, and Jia Xuan no longer puts more energy on the Jia family and Daiyu's side.

In a few months, Qi An was about to take the child's entrance examination, and the atmosphere at home was quite tense during this time.Qi An studies hard behind closed doors every day, and Jia Xuan is worried about the child's health, so she gives Qi An delicious food in different ways every day.

Jia Xuan didn't know whether Qi An's body had been recuperated, but it was true that Xin'an, who was forcefully pulled over by Jia Xuan to try the dishes, had two ounces of flesh on Cen'er's chin.

By July, the whole capital city became lively because of the ensuing child birth examination and rural examination.

As the parent of prospective candidates, Jia Xuan naturally has all kinds of worries.

"Check again to see if everything is ready, if you have brought the spare one with you, and if there is Tong Wen (equivalent to the modern admission ticket, which has the candidate's name, place of origin, body shape, etc.) Take it."

"Mother, don't worry, everything is ready." Lu Qi'an was a little nervous and excited at the moment, but it was just a little bit.As early as a few months ago, Lu Yan surrounded a place alone in the corner to do simulation training for him. The broken grass shed, the toilet, the bad smell, all kinds of noises, when exaggerating, the second brother even went to find him. He played the suona, a tune that couldn't be tuned in his ear, and the magic sound pierced his ears, which was really unforgettable.

After seeing off Lu Qi'an, Jia Xuan was not idle, she still had to pay the appointments of some of Lu Yan's colleagues' wives.As Lu Yan entered the officialdom, Jia Xuan also got to know more and more officials and family members. Usually when they have nothing to do, everyone would get together to play cards and inquire about each other's news.

I don’t know if it’s because the child’s birth test, the township test, and the general test are coming every three years, and a large number of talented people will emerge in the capital. During this time, their topics basically revolve around who in the family is so-and-so, and who’s who. There are school-age children to expand.Even the two sons and one daughter of Jia Xuan's family were dragged out for a long time.

Xin'an is still young, and there is a big brother Qi An on top, so he is not in a hurry, Qi An is mentioned more often, and everyone is very keen on being a matchmaker, protecting the matchmaker and pulling the strings.However, they were all rejected by Jia Xuan as a child.

The Tongsheng examination is divided into county examinations and government examinations. After passing the government examination, you can become a Tongsheng. Only after becoming a Tongsheng can you take the college examination and become a scholar.

Although the capital is not as talented as the south of the Yangtze River, it is also outstanding and capable.Therefore, even though Jia Xuan felt that her son had studied well, she didn't know if she could pass?

Soon after the first county test was over, Lu Qi'an was picked up by Qian Er himself. Seeing that he was in good spirits, Jia Xuan didn't ask any further questions, but quietly cooked a table of good dishes...

The result came out soon, Qi An passed, and before Jia Xuan had time to be happy, the second government examination had already started.

This time when Lu Qi'an came out, he didn't look so relaxed in the first round, he looked a little sloppy, and his face was a little pale. It was only later that Jia Xuan found out that the candidate in the room next to Qi An had a bad stomach, and the whole test room smelled sour... …

In the second round, Lu Qi'an also passed. Although the ranking was not particularly high, it was not bad. When the couple talked about it at night, Lu Yan rarely proudly said, "With An'an's level, if there is no accident, a scholar should not question."

"Then you have been surpassed by your son." Jia Xuan joked about Lu Yan

"It can't be calculated like this. What were the conditions of your husband-in-law at that time? What is the condition of our son now? If you really compare it, it is more difficult for you to be my husband-in-law than our son. After all, he is standing on our shoulders, so Your husband and I are still very good..." Speaking of himself as a 17-year-old scholar, Lu Yan was quite proud.

"Yes, yes, you are the best at..."

The heart-wrenching July passed quickly. Qi An became a scholar as he wished, but unfortunately he almost failed to become a granary student.

Not long after, good news came from my hometown. Shitou (the son of the elder brother of the Lu family and nephew of Lu Yan) passed the hospital examination and became a scholar, and Zhuzi (the son of Sister Lu and nephew of Lu Yan) passed the government examination and became a scholar. A child was born.Now the Lu family in Chongchuan County is no longer the original Lu family.

"Country test, Qi Er, if you want to try it, you can try it, but you have to do what you can, and you can't break your body. You are still young, and it's not too late to take the next test. Your father didn't always have smooth sailing... "In order to comfort her son, Jia Xuan even did not hesitate to expose Lu Yan's shortcomings.

"Mother, I understand, don't worry." Lu Qi'an nodded solemnly.

"Also, what do you think about your marriage? This time you are a scholar, but many people asked me..."

"Mother" Lu Qi'an didn't expect Jia Xuan to mention this suddenly, and he was a little embarrassed, but after all, he was the eldest son carefully raised by the couple, and Lu Qi'an quickly calmed down, "Mother is the master." A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, if you want to say It's impossible for him not to have any fantasies about his other half, but it's impossible to find someone who can satisfy his wishes, so as long as he can get by on the outside, he can take on the responsibility of the elder sister-in-law, and he can be filial to his parents. ,can.He will also fulfill his responsibilities and obligations as a husband.

"Okay, that mother will show you first..." At that time, if Qi An wants to meet you, even if you can't agree with everything, you have to be pleasing to the eye, after all, you want to be together for a lifetime people.

Sending Lu Qi'an back to study hard, Jia Xuan began to review the roster that he had recently memorized.The records on the roster are all girls of the right age that she has inquired about during this period, and she has crossed out those whose family backgrounds are too different, and the remaining few are from families that are more related to theirs.

In the evening, when Lu Yan came back, Jia Xuan told Lu Yan the ones she thought were good.

"The first one is the eldest daughter of Su's family. She is fifteen years old and is the same age as An An. Her family is similar to ours. I have observed this child for a while, and she has her own way of dealing with people. The only fly in the ointment is that the child's biological mother died young, and he has no siblings to help him." This was a big problem in ancient times. If the relationship between them is limited, then the relationship between the Su and Lu families will naturally be limited.

"The second one is the eldest daughter of Mei Hanlin's family. She is thirteen years old and two years younger than An'an. She is cute and cute, and has a good temper. I heard that she is learning to be a housekeeper from Mrs. Mei. Mei Hanlin's family is clean and upright. The whole family has never heard of any dirty things, and the children who want to teach them should have no problems on the surface."

"The third one is the daughter-in-law of your immediate boss, Master Wu. This child is especially good-looking and can be ranked high in Beijing. If you can marry her, it will probably help you in your official career in the future. Just listen. It is said that this child has a bit of a temper..."

"There are a few more..."

"You don't need to think about the family of Wu University. It seems that Master Wu intends to send his daughter to the palace... I heard that Mr. Su's house seems to be not very quiet." The concubine's fighting all day long has reached his ears. It's not easy to think about it, "Let's take a look at the other families."

"Okay, then I'll look at a few other families." The daughter-in-law must choose slowly, so as not to make a mistake for a while, and the whole family will have no peace if they marry into the door in the future.

Jia Xuan was busy looking around, inquiring about the characters and temperaments of the selected girls, while Lu Qi'an entered the examination room again. This time without any psychological burden, Lu Qi'an performed exceptionally once in a rare way. The article was even better than the previous one, but unfortunately, there are too many talented people in Jingzhong, so Lu Qi'an still failed the election.
