Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

On the other side of Jinling Mansion, since Xue Pan passed the county examination, he has been trembling at home holding the books and the papers he bought a few years ago, reciting the whole day in the dark, and his straight eyes are scattered to see that everyone looks good. It's like a scroll.Mr. Lian Wan said to Mrs. Xue in private: "This time, whether it's good or bad, don't blame the child. You really did your best." If you put in a little bit of hard work, you might be able to win a fortune. , but this student's family is not short of wealth, just to make the child calm down and learn well, from this point of view, everyone is happy.

On the eighth day of April, Mr. Wan personally arranged the basket for the exam with him, and asked the second housekeeper and the book boy to send people into the venue.Mrs. Xue has lit incense since her son left the house, and recited all the famous gods and Buddhas in the heavens and myriad worlds. I hope that someone who happens to pass by will show mercy to her family and tell her son, who has learned so much, to leave the examination room smoothly. , I don't care if I do well or not.

It was also lucky for his family this year that all the questions that Mr. Li Wan had asked in the past, so although Xue Pan was suspected of copying it mechanically, in the end it was nothing but filling the papers to the full.Those two characters are really hopeless, they can only barely maintain the horizontal and vertical lines, which don't look good and can be understood at a glance - this is what Mr. Wan came up with when he had no other choice.

Xue Pan stayed in the number yard for four days. On the day the number was released, the second housekeeper ordered his servants to drive the car and wait nearby, and he brought a few strong men to squeeze at the gate of the Gongyuan.As soon as the drum beat, the gate opened, and the soldiers guarding the tribute courtyard helped to collect all the papers, and yelled loudly to drive the stunned candidates out.The second housekeeper yelled a brisk young man, climbed up the tree and stretched his neck to look, finally saw Xue Pan, whose feet were flimsy, drifting outside along the flow of people.

"Master is out!" The servant on the tree yelled, and the butler led the others forward and squeezed again, just in time to catch Xue Pan and carried him outside. He only brought the book boy here, so he didn't leave Xue Pan in the street; this time the government examination was well prepared, a few young men with big arms and round waists carried Xue Pan out and ran to the car, and the driving whip flicked at Xue Pan. Go home.

The wheels rolled all the way and ran back non-stop, Xue Pan asked to help him down and sent him to the bedroom, but he was still confused. The waiters stripped him, washed him, put on a new shirt and stuffed him into the bed.At any rate, the people waiting were all young servants, and the young servants would not be able to handle Xue Pan's weight.

The doctor had been waiting with his medicine box in his arms, and at this time he was also invited in to take his pulse.The old man twirled his beard for a while before turning around and cupping his hands to Mrs. Xue who was sitting behind the screen, who was burning with anxiety: "Don't worry, madam, your son is in good health, but he is tired. Young people can just sleep well and don't need medicine." Just don’t give any big meat after waking up, rice porridge, seasonal vegetables, and thin noodles to nourish the stomach, and eat fish after three to five days.”

Mrs. Xue was so happy that she continued to chant Buddha, and hurriedly asked the servant to wrap a red envelope to send the doctor out. Turning around, she thanked Mr. Wan, and told Madam Li to take care of her. Only then did she get up and go to the Buddhist hall to offer incense... No matter which way Be a god, the one who shows his spirit is a good god.

Xue Pan lay there for three days, snoring like thunder, and rubbed his eyes at noon on the third day before sitting up by himself.Seeing that the bowls and chopsticks had just been placed on the table outside, I immediately sat down and grabbed steamed buns and rice porridge and ate it all. When I was full, I walked slowly to wash and change clothes to see my mother.Mrs. Xue saw the exhaustion on her son's face, and described it as if he had completely changed from before. He really didn't even know how to recite the Buddha.Although Xue Pan, who has survived this catastrophe, is still obese, the obscene expression on his face is gone, and he is standing with his back straight, looking very reliable.The manner of advancing and retreating is also much more refined than in the past, without a trace of greasy feeling, at best it can be called rich.

"Mother, I'm back, let me worry about it, my son is not filial." Xue Pan obediently went through the etiquette before getting up and taking his seat. Seeing Mrs. Xue was both gratified and sad, and even more joyful for her son's success.She beckoned Xue Pan to lean over, couldn't help but stroked his hair and said: "Your father passed away that day, maybe I just want to go with you, seeing you and your sister can't help but live longer God. I never thought that my son has such a long face now, and your father Jiuquan is afraid that he can't stop laughing."

Xue Pan has long been impatient with his mother treating him like a child, but after some experience, he realizes the value of family affection, and after he endured it, he stopped his old lady from fluttering on her head: "It's almost enough, Mom, no matter what, the family first Let's prepare things for the north, and there will be someone to take care of my sister."

In addition to writing letters to her mother regularly to report her safety, Baochai also wrote letters to her brother from time to time.Different from the previous one, it was addressed to my elder brother, picking up the rudeness of the Jia family and talking about it in detail, which only made Xue Pan feel that Rongning and Ningfu were as terrifying as the Black Wind Demon Cave, and he made up his mind not to live in it. , all he wanted to do was to see how well the girl had done the old house.

The Xuezheng who presided over the government examination over there and several examiners waited for the little official to pick up and approve the blurred papers, and those with illegible handwriting were thrown out without even looking at them, and then the words and sentences made no sense. Deposed, only take out the remaining ones that can be seen carefully and judge them carefully.Everyone approved the papers that they think are excellent and put them on the desk, and they will be ranked after the final recording.

"Huh? This student is really interesting, let's take a look!" Mr. Liu picked up the paper in front of him, dumbfounded: "Let's not say the words are ugly, and the sentences are also weird, but I can't find it if I pick something wrong. The idea is acceptable, the volume is acceptable, and the length is acceptable. The opening is acceptable, the ending is acceptable, and everything is acceptable, which is considered rare." Everyone heard that they all gathered together to look at it, and after reading each one, they all looked confused. The appearance of the fishbone stalking: "This is, this is... It's all for the exam, copying it mechanically, eating it alive!"

Xuezheng also came over and took a look at the corner of the paper with a vague name. Seeing that it was the word Xue, he knew it in his heart. I am afraid that this is the eldest son of the royal merchant Xue's family that the magistrate told him.Although it is indeed absurd to read this article among Jiangnan talents who are at the peak of their writing style, if you really want to find fault, you can only say utilitarianism at most, and there is nothing wrong with the rest.He stroked his beard and said, "Forget it, research and persistence are the most important things in academic studies. For example, a poor student, no matter what his aptitude is, can get stuck in just one test of the teacher's classics. It is not easy to get to this point. Raise your hand slightly to tell me about your background, and you won’t be able to go further in the future. Besides, although this article is naive, it has some interesting things, so let’s take it lowly.”

Now that Xuezheng nodded, no one else was dissatisfied—it was true that he couldn’t find any flaws to overthrow it. After reviewing all the papers and looking back, he really felt that the article was quite interesting.So he randomly recorded No. 90 nine, which can be regarded as giving him a scholar background.

Xue Pan still didn't know that he had stepped on shit luck, he just stayed at home and lingered with his mother and insisted on going to live in the old mansion in Beijing.The girl repeatedly complained in her heart that it was very inconvenient to live in Jia's house, and even the big boy still hangs out in the inner wall all day, even if a boy persuaded him not to come into the yard, but when he said hello, it was necessary to meet each other, sister and sister stick together Slimy screaming, how hateful it is.

If talking about this imperial examination, it is the road to promotion for others, but for Xue Pan, it is the ninety-nine-eight-one difficulty of leading Sun Houzi to the path of learning the scriptures and finally achieving the right result.Not to mention, Mr. Wan broke apart the "Law" and "Edict" issued by the imperial court, crushed them, and told him to listen to him. At least he let the Overlord know that his parents are not the only ones in the world. Ke has done something that is unacceptable to heaven and earth, even if you have a lot of money, you still can't get away with a cold in the neck and a knife.So Xue Pan's unfamiliarity is that he is most familiar with various laws and regulations and the judgments agreed between the market, even including the judgment of women. Of course, he knows what will happen to a woman who has a bad reputation. end.So he gritted his teeth and didn't want to stay in Jia's house, for fear of making his sister a useless softie.

Mrs. Xue was able to win over her daughter but not her son. She directly said that she would go to Jia's house to visit relatives and old people, and she would leave after staying for a few days. .This is different from when you send your daughter to Beijing. If you bring too little, your relatives will look down on you. If you bring too much, you are afraid of being accused of breaking out.It really occupied all of her thoughts, and she couldn't care about anything else.

Fortunately, Nanny Li and Mr. Wan took care of her. When it came time to publish the list, as usual, the second housekeeper and the book boy crowded to see the list.I saw a huge crowd of people at the gate of the Gongyuan, and it was hard to squeeze in. One person searched from head to tail, and the other from tail to head.Unexpectedly, Xue Pan's name was recorded in the middle, and the two of them searched for a long time, and their hearts were cold, thinking that there was nothing to do. Unexpectedly, there was a person reading the list next to him, looking for his name one by one, and happened to read Xue Pan's name. Pan asked the second butler to listen carefully, and then looked back a few lines before he saw it.After checking it several times to confirm that it was my uncle's name, the second housekeeper was so happy that he was so dizzy that he couldn't see the road, and he still asked the book boy to drag his arms out of the crowd, crying and laughing all the way, and ran away to announce the good news to his family.

Mrs. Xue opened the big warehouse and was hesitating whether to bring Kesi or Yunjin. Suddenly, she heard that her son had passed the government test, and he was not the last one. She was so bluffed that the valuable materials in her hands were scattered all over the floor and she didn’t even bother to clean them up. , hurriedly pulled the servant girl and asked with all her strength: "Are you sure I read it correctly? It really is my son? Don't you bump into someone with the same name and surname!" After repeated attempts to confirm that it was really Xue Panzhong, he immediately shouted out of joy The man opened the door and went out with baskets carrying copper coins and smashing silver: "Also tell the masters of the restaurant under my name to work hard. In the past three days, everyone who comes to eat will be free of charge, so I'm here to congratulate you!"

At this time, the reporter also came to the door, and Mrs. Xue sealed two silver tickets directly and went out, turning her head around in the yard, not knowing what to do.It was Xue Pan who came back from Mr. Wan to make her feel better. Even so, he still held his son in his arms and said in a daze, "Is it true that my son was hit? Don't let the child suffer!"

What Mr. Wan meant was the same, and Xue Pan's status as a scholar was somewhat watered down in it.He himself is not an all-round temperament, he is dull and stupid when he comes up with a lot of energy, just teaching him what to do and what not to do will make him half dead, if he really wants to take the Jinshi exam, even if he is not a great scholar, he will have to make him spit out Because of the malpractice, he only explained how he coped with the final exam, and never talked about the many exams that followed.Anyway, based on the connection between the Xue family and the four kings and eight princes, as long as the stupid overlord does not kill himself or Xuezheng is not an idiot, he will not be defeated at this level. It can be said that Xue Pan, a scholar, has already been in his pocket. up.

Xue Pan himself is also like a dream, and he is actually a scholar in a daze!From then on, I don’t have to kneel when I meet officials, and I can also reduce or exempt the corvee tax at home. I think that I can call myself a student instead of a niche when I go out and ask a girl out for an outing.There was another banquet at home and many relatives and friends were invited to have wine. There was no sarcasm or sarcasm from the elders at the banquet, only praises and praises. Xue Pan, who became "other people's child", looked as if he had eaten ginseng fruit. uncomfortable.Thinking in my heart, the imperial examination is so difficult, and there are so many poor people who sharpen their heads and want to get a one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. It is really a great joy in life to see it, but it is a pity that my own qualifications Limited, and the girl is a daughter's family, so she missed this great opportunity to turn around!

He even ate wine and lamented how good reading is, and he sighed until the ears of those wandering children who had never been able to find him in the past had calluses in their ears, and they all looked at him and turned away.When Xue Pan woke up from the drunkenness, he realized that all the friends at the wine table had run away, so he shrank back home and memorized the "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty" hard, fearing that he would lose face in the final trial. Wouldn't it be boring for people to come down?

The news that Xue Pan's mansion is being trialed here spreads to Beijing as if it has grown wings. Wang Ziteng received the letter and saw that he was so happy that he slapped his thigh. He called his nephew Wang Ren to him and yelled at him. Going to the fireworks field in Huajie and Liuxiang all day long, I don't know how to understand the hardships of the elders.He scolded Wang Ren until one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He only said that if Xue Pan didn't go to Beijing, he would have to make him look good.

In addition, when the Jia family got the news, Mrs. Wang originally wanted to split up Baoyu's marriage with the old lady based on this news, but she suddenly followed the discouraged ball. He really passed the exam as a scholar!Let alone whether this scholar was bought or not, anyway, the eldest son Jia Zhu died half of his life in the exam, and he would die in the exam after that; the second son Baoyu still goes to school for three days and two On the Internet, the old lady only said that the child had a great fortune all day long, but she didn't try to push him to make progress. She just indulged the child to hang out with a group of girls every day, and she wanted to make some noises after a few words. In the last work, no one in this huge courtyard can understand his own heart!

Baochai was also overjoyed with the letter sent in by his servants. In his previous life, his elder brother had already shouldered the life debt at this time, and Jiayu Village was sentenced to a gourd case.Now that my elder brother has a good family background, Xiangling has nothing to do with her family anymore, and she will never talk about a sister-in-law like Xia Jingui in the future. Seeing that the family is getting out of the fire pit, Baochai is now full of strength and is about to go to Beijing The tired and lazy guys in the house started the knife.

The Xue family's shops in the capital are pawn shops, rice shops, makeup and hairpin fabrics, and the last shop takes advantage of the cheap purchases in the palace, but it also makes the most mistakes.Baochai took Bailu and the housekeeper day and night to close the account book, and was furious and could not laugh or cry. A bowl of water was two taels of silver, and an egg was five taels of silver. Could it be that the boss is blind? !If this kind of account book is submitted to the top, it will be fine if it is not checked. Once checked, Xue's family will not be able to get away with the name of self-stealing.

At that moment, Baochai issued a sign asking Steward Xue to invite all the shopkeepers from several shops into Jia's house.He didn't say anything and didn't let people go, one by one he specially ordered the servants to serve him.On the other side, they quietly sent someone to bluff the store, saying that the theft had already been reported to the official, and they left Kumen dead and threw the account book in front of them: "Theoretically, it's not easy for me, a girl who has never been out, to intervene." The economic store at home, but do you uncles think that my Xue family is dead? This kind of account book that laughs at others can also be made, and I am really not afraid of asking the superiors to drag it out and chop it up!"

Shopkeeper Wu, who was in charge of the purchase, opened the ledger, and a series of falsifications circled by cinnabar were shocking. How could he think that a girl who was only thirteen years old could really understand the ledger and know the market price outside?When I was about to evade it, I heard the voice of the woman behind the bead curtain and said again: "Think about it, everyone, the body deed is still in my hands. I don't say anything else, I just let everyone from each family go out. Let’s see how many of the Jia’s can live to see the sun tomorrow?”

The shopkeeper Wu knelt down on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed violently: "Please save my life!" Baochai just snorted and said, "You and I can't be saved. Whether your family is safe or not is still in five days." The number of five, even the royal confession dares to forge, the brave ones can cover the sky!" Hearing what she said, shopkeeper Wu sat slumped on the ground, muttering "regret" and "being plotted against".Fu heard the girl say from behind the curtain: "If you can save a part of this behind-the-scenes thing, or not, I can consider keeping your family."

Shopkeeper Wu Nuonuo waited for a while, and finally said in a daze: "All the shops are not clean, why did you attack me?"

Baochai sat behind the curtain and took a sip of tea: "Uncle Wu, you know better than I what is going on with the Xue family's shop. This matter of stepping on two boats, if it capsized, it would be life-threatening for the whole family." Go in. Oh, you don’t take it to heart. After all, it’s my Xue family’s family who took their lives. What’s the relationship with you? The nearby shop uses some fake accounts to charge some money and go out so that my Xue family won’t be disturbed. Gen Ji, in your place, does it matter what you say?"

The author has something to say: more than 1000 words are missing, I will fill it up later, let me save Ri Gengjun~

Alright~ It's done!
