The Queen of the Red Chamber is a little flustered

After the beginning of spring, Mrs. Zheng found two nuns for Gu Qinyuan.

One of them, Zhao Momo, was the personal aunt next to the deceased concubine in the palace, and the other Xie Momo was the teaching mother who often taught the ladies of the family.

Gu Qinyuan learns etiquette from the two nuns every day, and rarely goes out to play with her second brother.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zheng didn't intend to be too constrained by Gu Qinyuan, but just let the nuns take care of her sloppy temper.

Now there is no news about the overseas breeding, and the old doctor Li just brought a few friends to the countryside, and Gu Qinyuan has nothing to do, so she doesn't feel too disgusted to learn something with the nuns.

In her spare time, she often corresponded with Jia Min, and the relationship between the two became better and better, which made her mother joke.

Instead, something related to the Jia family happened in the capital.

In mid-February, the county examination began, and Jia Zheng went to participate with great confidence. Although he had some unpleasantness with the yamen servant before the examination, fortunately Jia Daishan sent a housekeeper to follow him, and there was no embarrassment.

At first, the yamen servant didn't know that Jia Zheng was the son of the Duke's mansion, so he planned to search him, but Jia Zheng was very reluctant and remained frozen.

After the steward informed the yamen servant of Jia Zheng's identity, the yamen servant quickly let him go, and Jia Zheng entered the examination room smoothly.

Only later when the yamen servant talked about this matter with his friends while drinking, he lamented that he had never seen such a pedantic and ignorant son of a wealthy family.

After the county test, Jia Zhengzhi returned home full of satisfaction, and Jia Shishi asked people to prepare rewards, and was prepared to reward the servants in the mansion as soon as the results came out.

Even Jia Daishan wasn't too worried. After all, it was just a small county examination. Jia Zheng was often praised by the gentlemen in the mansion. Plus, Jia Shishi kept whispering around him, so he still had great confidence in his second son. .

Unexpectedly, one day when Jia Daishan led troops to inspect the capital, a small official from the Ministry of Rites stopped him.

The capital is different from other places. The county examination and government examination are presided over by officials from the Ministry of Rites, but the grade of the examiners is not high.

Such a small official Jia Daishan had never seen before, and he never thought that there would be a day when he would speak.

Of course, this petty official is really courageous enough to actually stop the super-ranked Duke in the street.

"Master Guo, the second son of the family passed the county examination, but the ranking is not very high."

In fact, Jia Zheng's name was not on the list of those who passed the exam after checking the examination papers. It was this little official who remembered that Rong Guogong's second son also came to take the exam.

The officials looked at each other.

"Is...do you want to add Mr. Jia's name?" Xiaoguan asked hesitantly.

The examiner who presided over the examination was a fifth-rank official from the Ministry of Rites. He was in his fifties and had a very upright temper. He didn't know how to adapt, so he rejected the proposal on the spot.

As far as he was concerned, no matter whose son he was, as long as he didn't have any real talents, he couldn't be admitted. It was also because of his stubborn temper that he wasted many years in the Ministry of Rites.

The subordinates also knew his temper, but no one dared to offend Duke Rong, so they had no choice but to persuade him.

In the end, the examiner agreed, otherwise?Who dared to offend the Duke of the country, but he couldn't help sighing afterward.

You talk about why Rong Guogong doesn't know how talented his son is, and now he is coming to embarrass him.

Jia Daishan originally thought that the official from the Ministry of Rites was here to announce good news to him, but when he heard that his ranking was not high, his heart skipped a beat, he didn't say anything to him, and went straight home.

Back at Rongxi Hall, the more Jia Daishan thought about it, the more wrong he became, and he immediately ordered someone to go out to find out the news.

Knowing that Jia Zheng's name was added later, Jia Daishan's face darkened immediately, and the servants in the room trembled and did not dare to speak out, but it was the warm voices of comfort from his confidantes that brought Jia Daishan back to his senses.

He immediately asked for the gentleman who taught Jia Zheng to read, and tortured him, and the words he got in the end were very different from before.

It turned out that Jia Zheng didn't get the hang of reading, but he just died of reading. Although he could memorize passages, he really didn't have the ability to pass the examination of scholar.

However, when my husband saw that everyone in Jia's family said that Jia Zheng could study, he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he praised Jia Zheng.

Jia Daishan felt sad at that time, and he spit out a mouthful of dirty blood, scaring the servants around him so much that they almost lost their souls.

He also didn't allow the servants to speak out, and drove them all out, and stayed in the study all night by himself.

On the second day, Jia Daishan went to work as usual. After all, he was a general who had been on the battlefield and killed people, so he could stand this.

It's just a mistake. It turns out that his two sons are not promising.

Fortunately, it's not too late to know now, the eldest son wants to practice well, as for the second son, he needs to hire another gentleman, but Jia Daishan still intends to let Jia Zheng take the government examination this time.

Jia Daishan sneered, thinking about it, Jia Zheng should know how much he weighs.

As soon as the news came back that Jia Zheng had passed the county examination, Jia Shishi planned to hold a big banquet. She only knew that she had passed the examination, but she didn't know her ranking.

However, she was stopped by the old lady. After all, it was only a county examination, and the April government examination was coming soon.

Jia Shishi was very upset, and privately told the Lai family that the old woman was partial, and she could not see her and Jia Zheng's mother and son getting along well.

During those days, Jia Daishan watched Jia Shishi and Jia Zheng's activities with cold eyes. He just wanted to see if the two mothers and sons really didn't understand anything, or they were just lying to each other.

After the government examination in April, Jia Daishan specially sent people to the Ministry of Rites to tell them not to look at him, but to do what they should.

While Jia Zheng and Jia Shishi were still waiting for the good news at home, Princess Nan'an came to the door.

"You, don't worry, Zheng'er didn't do well in the exam this time, and he will play next time." Princess Nan'an had a look of pity, and pulled Jia Shishi to comfort her, "But because Zheng'er caught a cold at the beginning of spring, That's why you didn't pass the exam?"

When Princess Nan'an learned from the prince that Jia Zheng failed the government examination, even a child student, she almost died of laughter. No, she came to see Jia Shishi's joke the next morning.

Jia Shishi's originally smiling face froze, she looked in disbelief, "Where did you get the news? I don't even know."

"This is what my prince asked Rong Guogong, and Rong Guogong said it himself! Your housekeeper has never passed the government test." Seeing that Jia Shishi's expression became more and more wrong, Princess Nan'an said quickly, "Oh, look, there are still people in the palace. If there is something, I will go back first."

She saw the joke as well, so she left quickly, not to offend anyone too much.

After Princess Nan'an left, Jia Shishi's face darkened, and he immediately went to look for Jia Daishan.

Don't mention the commotion in Rongguo Mansion for several days, just say that everyone in the capital really watched a good show.

Knowing that Jia Zheng failed the exam, Jia Shishi didn't want to believe it, and kept saying that it was the fault of those officials, and asked Jia Daishan to find someone to check.

Jia Daishan didn't want to tolerate her anymore, so he tore open the bloody truth for her to see.

Jia Shishi has been depressed for several days, and it turns out that Zheng'er can't read.

But she didn't want other people to see the joke. After all, she used to say that Jia Zheng was a born literary star.

She asked Lai's family to pass the news that Jia Zheng went to the exam with a fever a while ago, and now he is still lying on the bed.

When Jia Daishan heard his confidant's reply, he yelled at the "stupid woman" several times on the spot, but the news had already been released, and everything else he said was just trying to cover up.

It's just that when he was in court for several days, he was looked at strangely by other colleagues, and even Emperor Tiansheng asked him to take care of the affairs of the mansion in private, not to be led by the nose by the woman.

The old lady didn't care much at first, but since Jia Shishi did something stupid, she directly took away the housekeeping right from Jia Shishi and handed it over to Gu Qinting.

Jia Shishi refused to accept it and was scolded by Jia Daishan.

After this incident, Jia Zheng felt ashamed, indignant, and embarrassed, and stayed in the courtyard all day and seldom went out.As soon as he went out, he would be ridiculed by the dude who used to look down on him, so he simply closed the courtyard door tightly.

When the Gu family heard about this, the Zheng family sent the maid next to her to visit Gu Qinting in Jia's mansion, and she was relieved when she learned that there was nothing wrong with her.

Mrs. Zheng was worried that something like this would happen in the mansion. It would be difficult for Gu Qinting to be a new daughter-in-law.

In fact, when Jia Amnesty learned that Jia Zheng hadn't even passed the exam, he really wanted to see what his second brother, who was always pretending to be a scholar, looked like now.

But now he is patrolling the streets and practicing martial arts with the soldiers of Bingmasili every day, and he doesn't have much energy. In addition, Gu Qinting persuaded him to care more about his grandmother and master, so he has no idea of ​​watching a good show.

And after these days of experience, he has gradually changed many of his previous thoughts.

In the past, both Jia Daishan and Jia Shishi valued Jia Zheng, saying that Jia Zheng was a good student and would surely shine in the family in the future. Jia pardoned him because he was unwilling, so they were a little jealous of Jia Zheng.

But looking at it now, it turns out that this so-called person who knows how to read can't even pass the government examination, and all his troubles and jealousy are gone.

He is now thinking of doing a good job himself, proving that he, Jia She, is the pillar of the Rongguo Mansion.

Gu Qinyuan still knew about Jia Zheng from Mammy Xie, she almost coughed, no wonder Jia Min didn't write to her recently.

But she wasn't too surprised. It wasn't mentioned in the red building that Jia Zheng had taken the imperial examination. It was only said that Jia Daishan won an official position as a member of the Ministry of Fifth-Rank Industry for him before his death.

Gu Qinyuan couldn't write a letter to ask Jia Min, so she dug out several things from her treasure box and sent them to Jia Min.

The story of Jia Zheng had been circulated in the capital for a while before turning over. The most recent big news was that the eldest concubine gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, and the prince was so anxious that he spent all day working hard in the East Palace to plow the fields and sow seeds.

Emperor Tiansheng was very happy that the eldest prince had an eldest son, since it was his first grandson after all.

I don't know why, Emperor Tiansheng's heirs are prosperous, although the three princes died early, but now there are still eight princes (Emperor Tiansheng added two new princes in the few years after Gu Qinyuan was born), not to mention There are several other princesses in the palace.

But the eldest prince and crown prince of the next generation have been married for many years without a single seedling. Finally, the eldest prince has a son, which is not a surprise, let alone the birth of the concubine.

Emperor Tiansheng was very happy, not only bestowed rewards on the concubine, the eldest prince, and the concubine, but also named the eldest grandson of the emperor on the spot.

It's just that the prince has been very anxious recently, he made a mistake, made several mistakes, and attracted the censor's participation in impeachment.
