Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

It's autumn, and I want to say that Jia Rong is far away in the south of the Yangtze River. Jia Rong is far away in the south of the Yangtze River. He said that he can end it. Although Jia Jing is far away, he can't see his homework. It doesn't matter if he wants to try it, so he agreed. Let him this year Take the exam in Jiangnan.

To talk about the imperial examination, let's talk about the history of this dynasty first.

This dynasty is called the Dakang Dynasty, which is the same as Jia Lu's world before the Tang Dynasty. After the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, disputes continued. However, after that, it was not Zhao Kuangyin who rose up, but a group of Wang surnamed children who claimed to be from the Taiyuan Wang family.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there were forces rising and falling. The forces built by the children of the Wang family grew from small to large. At the beginning, no one paid attention to it, and they didn't know its origin. Some people deny it.

The Wang family's children are not simple. After the establishment of the dynasty, they have developed for three or four hundred years, but they still cannot escape the change of dynasty.Those in power are becoming more and more extravagant, oppressing the lower class, peasant uprisings continue, women are restrained and restricted, their status is extremely low, the upper class is addicted to women, and there are dozens of concubines, and there are countless bans. , Unable to continue the incense, the land of the Central Plains, which had been quiet for hundreds of years, resumed war.

The Zhao family fled outside the pass during the wars of the Qin Dynasty. They merged with foreigners and took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to attack the Central Plains. , to promote national integration.

Although the founding monarch Kang Shizu Zhao Yun is not Zhao Kuangyin, the founding ancestor of the Song Dynasty in Jia Lu World, he has the same surname as Zhao, which makes people sigh the historical identity.

Zhao Yun had only one wife, she was a member of the Jurchen tribe, and was later named the Tong family of Queen Ren Xiao Yi Gong. Although the Tong family was a foreigner, she was smart and kind since childhood. One person who dotes on her very much.He looked down on the phenomenon of extreme respect for men and inferior women in the Wang Dynasty. With the support of Kang Shizu, he carried out reforms to improve the status of women.Kang Shizu and Tong's family reformed the imperial examination system.

The history of the Kang Dynasty is roughly the same as that of the Ming Dynasty in Jia Lu's world. The Ming Dynasty was the peak era of the development of the imperial examination system.

Jia Rong came from a noble family, sheltered by his ancestors, wise and wise, and had a place in the Imperial Academy, and he could join the Imperial Academy without passing the exam, named Jiansheng.

There are many masters of various theories in the Imperial College, and the examination papers of the imperial examination held every three years are jointly produced by them.Studying in it, the starting point is one section higher than others, and at the same time, supervisors can directly participate in the township examination.

Jiansheng not only has countless resources, but also the place where the second generation of the nobles and Qingliu of the imperial court gathers the most. Many down-and-out Marquis families, even if they have no promising heirs, are unwilling to give up this opportunity to befriend the next generation of the major forces. Therefore, although the Guozijian is good, the atmosphere is somewhat chaotic.

The township examination is arranged by the chief ministers of the provincial capital cities, the governor of Zhili and others. Students can only take the exam in the provincial capital city where their household registration is located. Held in Kyoto, organized by the Ministry of Rites.

The provincial examinations are different in each province, which is why Jia Rong returned to Jinling to study.

Jia Rong is now nineteen years old, and will soon reach the crown. This year's provincial examination, no matter whether it is good or bad, she will have to marry a wife.

For this reason, Jia Rong's mother was particularly concerned. At the end of summer, she opened a Buddhist hall and kowtowed to chant sutras every day. Only bless the Buddha.

It was really useful, maybe it was because of the nourishment of Jiangnan culture, Jia Rong passed it smoothly, the news came, and the whole family was happy, but Jia Rong said, "I want to invite teachers and classmates back in Jiangnan, pack my things, and I am afraid that the day of returning to Beijing will not be until the New Year's Eve." up.Although Mrs. Zhang was unhappy, her son couldn't help herself, and she couldn't help it.

The days are long, but it is fast, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year again. If you say that the two years have not been good, the people who rely on the roots of the imperial city are better off, and the others are even more sad.

Many people died of the cold last winter, which made the grandmothers of Jia's family busy preparing winter clothes and charcoal fires. Fortunately, it got warmer and rained at the beginning of the year, which made things easier.I don't want to think it's winter again, it's colder than last year, and it hasn't rained or snowed since autumn, so the dignitaries' families are fine, but ordinary people's families are sad year after year.

Today, Jiao Xi's grandfather, Jiao Da, the chief steward of Ning's mansion, drank with some old subordinates of the Jia family the day before yesterday. He was happy for a while and drank too much. I couldn't get up in the morning, Jiao Da's wife had gone early, and when his son came in to see him, Jiao Da had a fever. It's a big problem, but in the future, you have to avoid alcohol, meat, and spicy food, but the old man is very worried, and he refuses to take medicine at home, so it's all going to Jia Jing.

Jia Lu saw that Jiao Qian was worried that her grandfather would give her a vacation, so she asked her to go home and stay with her grandfather for two days before coming back.Jiao Qian went home anxiously, only to see that the old man wanted to eat meat and drink with a loud voice, he was in good spirits!I just stayed at home for one night, and the next day I packed up some home-cooked dishes made by my mother and planned to go back to the mansion.

On the back street, I saw an old woman with a vicissitudes of life, but her clothes were neat and tidy, leading a five or six-year-old boy here. This back street is full of family members in Rongning or down-and-out Jia. Where the family lives, everyone is acquaintances, and the strangers who come here are only those who sell business burdens, sell food, and buy things to play with. However, these two people have empty hands, not like those people.

When I got closer, I was listening to the old woman asking the little girl on the side of the road about Zhou Rui's family. Jiao Qian knew about Zhou Rui's family. She was the companion of the second wife in the West Mansion. Poor relatives?

With such doubts, Jiao Qian returned to the mansion, and when chatting with the master and the others, she said something, but Jia Lu only passed her ear.

When I went to eat with my mother, I heard that Brother Rong was coming back. Jia Zhen was very happy to have a son, and invited his friends to have a drink.

However, the glass kang screen at home was scratched by the boys, and it could not be repaired by the old craftsman. Although there were other kang screens in the house, he didn't like it first, and it was troublesome to find them.

I also heard that the old uncle and wife next door sent Wang Xifeng a glass kang screen embedded with the shape of a roc spreading its wings, thinking that Mrs. Zhang would ask her younger siblings to return it in two days by posing as envoys.

Jia Lu thought that she had been sleepy for two days, and she would not rest at lunch today, so as not to fall asleep at night, so she stopped the errand and took a few powerful women to Rongfu for a walk. Digestion.

When we arrived at Rongguo Mansion, we first went to Jia Mu's. Unfortunately, Jia Mu had a rest, so I went to Daiyu's and talked to her. There was no further delay.Then I went to Wang Xifeng's yard.
