Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

When Jia Rong came, she was downcast, but when she went back, she was in high spirits.

He felt complacent all the way out of the house: the young master will have a backer in the future, and he won't have to worry about food, drink, or beating, so what else does he have to worry about.

When I went out for a while, I saw Zhao'er and Xing'er in the first place, and felt very cordial. I smiled and rewarded each of Xing'er and Zhao'er with a fragrant purse: "Master, I invite you to drink."

Xing'er and Zhao'er held the purse in their hands, looked at each other, then looked at the very proud Mr. Rong, the two of them were just confused, this Mr. Rong picked up a gold ingot, how could he laugh like this?

Jia Rong returned home, proud of herself, but also forgot Jia Lian's order, thinking that it would be better to have more silver when he was away from home, so he kept his face and began to pack up the silver coins and hide them in the study.

Just wait for that day to mess up the marriage and take the money to run away.

Jia Zhen was concerned with Yue's family's affairs, and Zhang Luo's Qin's family's affairs, but she was too busy to take care of Jia Rong.Otherwise, it would be difficult for Jia Rong's small actions to escape Jia Zhen's eyes.

The third day of April.

At Yinzheng time (four o'clock in the morning), Jia Lian got up, washed up and had breakfast, and Sister Feng Ping'er helped him get dressed together.

This is a sky-blue shirt sprinkled with golden osmanthus, implying the victory of the Toad Palace.The test basket is the wicker book basket used by Jia Lian's grandfather Jia Daishan for the test, and the basket contains the four treasures of the study given by Zhang's uncle who passed the test.

Jia Lian's outfit today can be described as precious.

Sister Feng's masters and servants only took Jia Lian to the Chuihua Gate before bidding farewell.Jia Lian got into the carriage that had been prepared long ago, and together with Jia Rong from Ningfu, they went straight to the government office.

The examination room for the government examination is located in Fuya, and Maozheng (six o'clock in the morning) enters the venue.

Jia Lian and Jia Rong's uncle and nephew arrived not too early or too late, and quickly passed the initial inspection along the team.

The government examination requires three examinations: scriptures, essays, and policy theory. The examination room is set in the backyard of the government office. There are a row of tables in the open space, with a seat on the left and right. The names and places of origin are written on the tables.

Jia Lian and Jia Rong are both natives of Jinling, and the family invited a well-educated person to vouch for them, so they sat next to each other.

Candidates waited in line at the opening gate, and after that, a large group of people came, holding sticks, blocking the passage, which was brought by the search folder.

Jia Lian didn't care about this, took off his shoes, and jumped a few times according to the examiner's instructions. Jia Lian had nothing else on him except the Four Treasures of the Study in the Examination Lanli. He passed the test smoothly and entered the examination room. The name and age match the seat.

Seeing this, Jia Rong also carefully took off his boots, jumped a few times, and unbuttoned his clothes a few times.

In his heart, he has no desire for Tong Shengxiucai, and he is strong without desire, and he is not afraid of how to check.

There were also people in the back who disobeyed because of their family background, but they were deliberately messed up by the soldiers, even their trousers were ripped off, and some were groped all over the body. A few frail teenagers felt that they were being bullied. Lord Fu Yin yelled loudly, so frightened that he only dared to sob quietly, but did not dare to make a sound.

After a few joss sticks, the search was finally completed.

Then, everyone sat and waited for the assignment of exam questions.

The exam tables are arranged in ten columns and ten columns, which is a hundred candidates. Everyone is separated by a seat on the left and right, to ensure that no matter how long your neck is, you can't peek at it and cheat.

Because Jia Lian and Jia Rong are Jinling candidates, they are borrowed exams in Kyoto, so they are ranked last.

And don't think that you can take advantage of it. Three steps behind, there is a soldier holding a stick. Lice on the head can't escape the eye.

With such a preoccupied, dignified atmosphere, the candidates were all nervous.Jia Rong was even worse, but for a moment, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and while wiping the sweat with his hands, he quietly glanced at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian is now practicing Neijia Qigong. She has sharp ears and eyes, and is very keen on the surrounding Tokyo. When Jia Rong makes a movement, Jia Lian senses it. Looking at the examiner's back, she quickly gives Jia Rong a comforting look.

The examination room is like a battlefield.

Jia Lian is sure to win this time in the government test, and no accidental mistakes can be tolerated.If people find them winking, misunderstood and cheating, the consequences will be terrible.

In the first round of the college examination, the scripture test post requires a mastery of the three classics and above, and those who have a good knowledge of the five classics are the top.

In order to pass smoothly, Jia Lian chose to take the Five Classics exam.

In the Five Classics examination, "Book of Filial Piety" and "The Analects of Confucius" were compulsory questions. Jia Lian followed the above criteria and chose the simplest option. He chose "Book of Rites" in turn, then "Book of Songs", and finally chose the "Xiaojing" "Shangshu" makes up the Five Classics. (These texts refer to the chapter of Baidu Fufu Examination)

Jia Lian calmed down, opened the test paper in order, memorized the passages specified in the test paper, and then did not start writing, but turned out the whole scripture in his mind to read silently, and then silently wrote.

No matter the big scriptures or small scriptures, the specified paragraph must be the largest paragraph, or a relatively rare paragraph.

Fortunately, Jia Lian has thousands of volumes of books in his mind, and he cannot be troubled by memorizing them.

It’s just that there are too many paragraphs that need to be written silently in the exam. Jia Lian was not very fond of reading and writing before. The first requirement of the exam is that the handwriting be clear and neat. Throw away your papers.

Therefore, for the favor of the marking officials and a fair opportunity for competition, the examinees will do their best to write more beautifully.

In order to pursue beautiful handwriting, Jia Lian wrote very slowly and carefully, sitting like this for several hours, his neck was stiff and his arms were weak when he wrote straight.

During the lunch time in the middle, Jia Lian's body had already been improved a lot by Yuanli, or it was because of too much writing, and his spirit was overly tense, exhausted and exhausted.

As a last resort, Jia Lian took advantage of other candidates' eating and drinking time, and he secretly meditated, causing the hair-thin energy in the meridians to circulate for a small circle, finally getting rid of most of the tiredness, and then successfully survived the first day take an exam.

Even though he was cheating halfway to cultivate his health and waited for the invigilator to collect the papers in anonymity, Jia Lian was still so tired that his fingers twitched and he had no strength left in his body.Paralyzed on the table, Jia Lian finally understood why Jia Zhu fainted and fell ill during the autumn.This exam is really exhausting.

The government exam took three consecutive exams, which took four days. During the exam, candidates were not allowed to leave, and all board and lodging were in the exam room.Except for going to the toilet, you are not allowed to move around without authorization.

Speaking of which, if Jia Lian is asked to move at this moment, he can't move either. How can he have the strength.It wasn't until night fell that Jia Lian regained some strength. After dinner, the guards distributed cotton wool and told the examinees to rest on the spot.

Candidates accumulated after a day of exams, and they were in a variety of ways. Some people slept soundly all the time, and some sat on the floor and took a nap with cotton wool on their heads.

Although Jia Lian had made sufficient preparations in advance, he still couldn't take it on the spot. After all, Jia Lian didn't like to dance with knives and guns before. It was all due to his youth and good foundation. After such a day and night, his body couldn't take it anymore.

The students slept in all kinds of strange postures, and Jia Lian happened to hide in the middle of it to meditate and practice.

Jia Lian sat around the cotton wool with his eyes closed, seeming to be dozing off, but in fact he had already quietly immersed himself in cultivation.He hoped to recover his physical fitness as soon as possible through practice, to raise his spirits, and to welcome the start of the second game tomorrow with plenty of energy.

This night, Jia Lian had more than a month of practice experience, and the practice was very smooth. He could clearly feel the subtle existence of Yuanli in the meridians. He ran for two small circles, and fell asleep unconsciously.

And after he fell asleep, Xiao Zhoutian did not stop carrying out his practice, but was guided by that ray of energy to circulate in the meridians on his own. Jia Lian's body continued to absorb the thin spiritual energy distributed in the air day and night, using To repair the damage to Jia Lian's body and replenish the energy consumed in his body.

The next day, Jia Lian was awakened by the yelling of the sergeant.

After waking up, the first thing Jia Lian did was to test the results of last night's practice, Jia Lian was overjoyed after checking.

But it turned out that overnight, Jia Lian's daytime tiredness disappeared without a trace, and his whole body was refreshed, and his hearing and eyesight were better than before.Jia Lian found that he seemed to be able to hear the quietly tickling voice of the candidate seated next to him, and his energy and spirit returned to the state before the exam, and he even slightly won.

Jia Lian was overjoyed, which shows that his inner family practiced qigong has already begun to practice.
