Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

Just like last time, Jia Amnesty prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes for Jia Lian.

Seeing the delicious food, Jia Lian's eyes lit up immediately, and she forgot about Jia's mother's matter, and began to eat heartily.

Mrs. Xing is not very energetic and has no appetite today. She is not as happy as Jia Lian came back from the county test last time.

Jia She has a good appetite, and eats with relish just like his son Jia Lian.

After Jia Lian ate for a while, she noticed Mrs. Xing's preoccupied look. After hesitating for a while, she asked, "Mom, what's the matter with you, you don't feel well?"

Jia She glanced at Mrs. Xing, and said angrily, "She just eats carrots and doesn't worry about it."

Mrs. Xing said aggrievedly: "I'm not just worrying."

When Jia Lian heard the conversation between the two, he knew that something must have happened in the mansion.

"what's going on?"

"Your second aunt's natal family came to announce the good news today, saying that your second aunt's elder brother has been promoted to the official governor of the Jingying." Although Mrs. Xing is a woman, she also knows how big the official is.

Jia Amnesty looked disdainful: "Isn't he just a military governor of the Beijing camp? What's so great about it?"

Jia Lian didn't realize who it was at first, but after thinking about it, he realized who Mrs. Wang's elder brother was: "Wang Ziteng?"

Mrs. Xing nodded: "That's him. The Wang family came to announce the good news today. You didn't see your second aunt's arrogant and complacent appearance, her tail was almost up to the sky. The old lady also kept praising the Wang family to the sky. It's gone." When the Wang family came to announce the good news, Mrs. Xing was there, seeing the appearance of Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother, she felt very uncomfortable.During this period of time, the first room had managed to suppress the second room's arrogance. Unexpectedly, within a few days, the second room's natal family was promoted to a high official, and the second room's arrogance was about to rise again. Their first room was about to be suppressed by the second room again. .

Jia Lian looked thoughtful, and searched for information about Wang Ziteng in his mind. He remembered that in the original book, Wang Ziteng was promoted to the capital of the nine provinces, and he seemed to be the governor of the Beijing camp before.It seems that he was still a deputy Jiedushi before, but now he has been promoted to a regular Jiedushi.

The Jiedu envoy of the Beijing camp controls the army in the capital area. It can be said that he holds military power, similar to a modern military and political official, and his status in the capital can be imagined.

Wang Ziteng was promoted and took control of the military power in the capital area. Now it is a special period for the four princes to compete for the throne. He will become the target of the four princes and become a big celebrity in the capital.The status of the Wang family will naturally rise.

"Your second aunt will rely on her elder brother to show off in the mansion in the future, and we will not have a good life in the future." This is what Mrs. Xing is most worried about. The old lady has always favored the second wife. He prefers the second wife even more, since their first wife will have no status in the mansion in the future.

"His prince Teng was promoted, and he can still intervene in the affairs of our Jia family." Jia Amnesty didn't care about Wang Ziteng's promotion.

Mrs. Xing knew that she couldn't make sense with Jia Amnesty, so she had to ask Jia Lian, "Brother Lian, what do you think?"

Jia Lian stopped his chopsticks and gave Mrs. Xing a comforting smile: "Father is right, Wang Ziteng will not interfere with our Jia family's affairs when he is promoted."

"But, your second aunt..." Mrs. Xing's teeth itched with anger when she thought of Mrs. Wang's arrogant appearance. "I'm afraid that your second aunt will detain us in the public office in the future."

"She dares!" Jia She said with a stern face, "If she dares to do this, I will make her life miserable."

Mrs. Xing felt a little relieved when she thought about Jia Amnesty's behavior in the kitchen before, so she didn't say anything more.

Jia Lian looked at Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing, and sighed softly in her heart.It seems that they don't understand what Wang Ziteng's ascension to the Jingying Jiedushi means.

Originally, he had a good appetite, but when he heard about this, Jia Lian lost his appetite, so he ate a few mouthfuls and went back to his room.

Zhao Momo and the others also heard the news of Wang Ziteng's promotion, and their hearts became very heavy.

"Master, what shall we do in the future?" The people in the first room managed to live a good life, but they didn't expect to be bullied by the second room in a few days.

Seeing Mammy Zhao's expression that the end of the world is coming, Jia Lian's mouth twitched slightly. Maybe Wang Ziteng was promoted, so why did they look desperate.

"Second aunt's elder brother's promotion is a matter for their Wang family, and it has nothing to do with our Jia family."

"But, the second wife will..." Zhao Momo was worried about the same thing as Mrs. Xing.

"If the second aunt makes things difficult for us, father will not let it go." Jia Lian is not worried that Mrs. Wang will treat them harshly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. "Although she is in charge of everything in the mansion, she is not the head of the family. The head of the family in Rongguo Mansion is My father." I hope that his second aunt will not think that her brother will get carried away after being promoted, otherwise don't blame him for being rude.

Hearing Jia Lian's words, Mother Zhao immediately thought of Jia She's temper, and felt relieved: "The young master is right, the master is the head of the Rongguo family, no matter how powerful the second wife is, she can't do anything to us. "

"I'm going to sleep, you guys go and do your work." No wonder the old lady didn't respond at all when he came back from the exam, it turned out that Wang Ziteng had been promoted.This old lady is really snobbish. As soon as Wang Ziteng was promoted, she threw her grandson aside.

Jia Lian lay on the bed, analyzing the current situation in his head.The emperor did not establish a prince, and the four princes were all fighting for the prince.No, to be precise, it is the first prince and the second prince who are fighting for the crown prince.The eldest prince entered the military camp at the age of 15, made a lot of military achievements, and held military power in his hands.He definitely doesn't like Wang Ziteng's military power in the capital, but he won't give it to the fourth prince for nothing.

Although the fourth prince has the support of the queen's family, he does not have any military power.If he wanted to compete with the eldest prince, he needed military power, and Wang Ziteng became the object he urgently needed to win over.

Wang Ziteng holds [-] troops in the capital, of course it cannot be compared with the hundreds of thousands of troops in the frontier, but his [-] soldiers are protecting the safety of the capital.

For the military power in the frontier, far water cannot save the near fire, but the [-] military power in the capital can get the moon first if it is close to the water.

The fourth prince will definitely try to win over Wang Ziteng at all costs, and the eldest prince will also try to win over Wang Ziteng in order not to take advantage of the fourth prince.

Wang Ziteng is now a sweet potato, and the eldest prince and fourth prince are vying for it.

In order to win over Wang Ziteng, the eldest prince and the fourth prince's people will start with Wang Ziteng's side. Mrs. Wang, Jia Zhu, and Jia Yuanchun are good targets for bribery.

It seems that Jia Zhu's life in Qingshan Academy will be much easier from today.

As Jia Lian expected, as soon as the news of Wang Ziteng's promotion came out, the students of Qingshan Academy immediately changed their attitude towards Jia Zhu and became very warm and friendly.

Before, Jia Zhu was slandered and framed by the students of Qingshan Academy because of Jia Lian's success in the case, and was excluded by everyone.Although later, the Jia family spread rumors of conspiracy theories and returned Jia Zhu's innocence, but Jia Zhu was still excluded during his days in Qingshan Academy, and no one wanted to associate with him.

This time Wang Ziteng was promoted, the students of Qingshan Academy immediately made a 360-degree change, and they flattered Jia Zhu in every way.

Although Jia Zhu was very angry with their hypocrisy before, but now being flattered by them, his vanity has been greatly satisfied, and he really enjoys the feeling of being admired by the stars.

Leaving aside what happened at Qingshan Academy, after Wang Ziteng was promoted, the threshold of Rongguo Mansion was almost smashed.

In the past few days, there have been a lot of people visiting Rongguo Mansion. As for the purpose, I don't need to think about it.

Mrs. Wang has been soft-handed when receiving gifts these days, and she can't close her mouth from ear to ear when she is complimented by others.

The servants of the second room relied on this to bully the servants of the first room in various ways.The tranquility of Rongguo Mansion was broken, and the relationship between the first room and the second room became tense.

The people in the kitchen were furious at the thought of being severely taught by Jia She, and kept the grudge in their hearts. Thinking that this time Mrs. Wang's brother was promoted to a high-ranking official, he could avenge what happened before. Domineering again.

The meals provided by the kitchen staff to Da Fang were much worse than before. The dishes were not fresh, and they were still leftovers.

Jia She was furious and took a group of servants to smash the kitchen.When the people in the kitchen saw Jia Amnesty's battle, their legs went limp in fright.They originally thought that Jia Amnesty would not dare to do anything to their second wife because of Wang Ziteng's promotion.Unfortunately, they were too naive.

When Mrs. Wang heard that Jia She was going to make a fuss in the kitchen again, she came over aggressively, reasoned with Jia She, and moved her brother Wang Ziteng out.

When Jia She heard this, she sneered: "Mr. Wang, this is the Jia family, not your Wang family. Don't think that if your elder brother is promoted, he can show off his power in our Jia family."

Mrs. Wang has been complimented by people who came to visit these days. She thinks she is great, and she doesn't pay attention to Jia She and others. She didn't expect Jia She to dare to treat her so boldly.

"you……"

Jia Amnesty looked at Mrs. Wang mockingly: "Do you think that if your elder brother is promoted, he can trample our Jia family under his feet and ignore our Jia family?"

"I haven't." Mrs. Wang retorted with a guilty tone, "Don't spout blood."

"I am the head of the Rongguo Mansion's family, not your Wang family." Jia She looked at Mrs. Wang coldly, "Our Jia family is not a place for you to do your best. If you want to show off your power, go back to the Wang family." .”

Mrs. Wang's face was turned blue and white by Jia She's anger: "You..."

Jia Amnesty was too lazy to talk to Mrs. Wang, and ordered the servant to continue beating the kitchen staff.

Seeing Jia Amnesty treating her like this, Mrs. Wang left angrily and went to complain to Jia Mu.She thought that Mother Jia would make the decision for her, but she was scolded severely by Mother Jia.

"Although you are from the Wang family, don't forget that you are the daughter-in-law of our Jia family." Jia's mother couldn't understand Mrs. Wang's pride and arrogance.

"Mother, I..." Mrs. Wang felt that Mother Jia shouldn't treat her like this. Her elder brother is now the military envoy of the Beijing camp, and even the eldest prince and the fourth prince want to please him. How dare they treat her like this.

Mother Jia could see what Madam Wang was thinking at a glance: "This is the Jia family, not the Wang family!" "Boss played well, those slaves who violate the rules should be punished." After finishing speaking, he told everyone standing beside him, "Sell me all those dog slaves in the kitchen, this kind of slaves who bully their masters because of their power. , our Rongguo Mansion can't afford it, and we dare not use it."

Seeing Mother Jia's sombre face, everyone Lai knew that she was angry, and didn't dare to say anything, so he obediently went to do it: "Yes, I will do it now, slave."

"Mother, the servant of the kitchen..." Mrs. Wang begged for mercy when she saw that Mother Jia was going to sell her people, but when she saw Mother Jia's cold and sharp eyes, she was too scared to say anything.

Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang coldly: "I repeat, this is Jia's family, not Wang's!" If it wasn't for Wang Ziteng's promotion, Jia's mother would have scolded Mrs. Wang a long time ago, and then took back her management. rights in.

Mrs. Wang only felt a chill spread from the bottom of her heart to her whole body, she dared to say nothing, she could only nod obediently.

"Remember that you are the daughter-in-law of our Jia family. I don't want this kind of thing to happen again." The elder brother was only promoted to the military governor of the Beijing camp, and the daughter-in-law began to show off her power, not paying attention to the people in the house.If the prince was promoted to a bigger official, the daughter-in-law probably wouldn't take her mother-in-law seriously any more.

The reason why Mother Jia felt that Jia Amnesty did the right thing was to beat Madam Wang so that she would not get too carried away and forget who she was.

Everyone Lai went to the kitchen and told Mother Jia what to say. The servants in the kitchen kowtowed and begged for mercy, but it was useless.

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he happily asked the boy to take out the servants in the kitchen and sell them to the tooth shop.

The other servants of the Second Household saw Jia Mu and Jia She doing this, they were so frightened that they almost lost their courage, they dared not have any intentions, and did not dare to dominate the house anymore.

Nanny Zhao and Feng'er came back and told Jia Lian about this, but Jia Lian was not surprised.

"The maidservant thought that the old lady would defend the second wife, but she didn't expect that the old lady not only didn't show favoritism, but instead agreed with the master's approach, and even sold those slaves." Although Madam Zhao felt happy, she was very puzzled.

"Isn't the old lady always favoring the second wife, why didn't she protect the second wife this time?" Feng'er asked puzzled.

"It's very simple. The second aunt's behavior during this period has offended the old lady." The second aunt relied on her brother's promotion, so she thought she was different, and began to stir up trouble in the mansion, not letting anyone go. In his eyes, how could Mother Jia allow her to continue to be arrogant.This is Jia's mansion, not Wang's mansion.

Momo Zhao understood Jia Lian's meaning in an instant, and nodded in agreement: "The second wife's behavior during this time is indeed a little too much."

"Second wife shows off every day, making her brother look like he was crowned king." Feng'er couldn't understand Mrs. Wang's villainous appearance.

Jia Lian thought that his second aunt was not that stupid, but unfortunately he thought highly of her, she was even more stupid than he imagined.

Mrs. Wang was taught a lesson by Jia's mother in the open and in the dark. She was very unconvinced, so she went back to her mother's house on the grounds of celebrating her brother's promotion, and told her sister-in-law about it. The mother doesn't pay attention to the members of their royal family.

The aunt and sister-in-law told the Queen Mother about it, but they were severely scolded by the Queen Mother.Not only that, when Prince Teng returned to the mansion and learned that Mrs. Wang was back, he scolded her severely and asked her to return all the gifts she received.

Mrs. Wang stopped doing it as soon as she heard this: "Why do you want to return it?" There are so many good things, she is reluctant to return them.

Wang Ziteng glared at Mrs. Wang angrily: "You don't want to go back because you want me to die sooner." It was a happy thing for him to be promoted to the Beijing Camp Jiedushi, but because the eldest prince and the fourth prince had to win over Him, he didn't dare to offend any of them, making him walk on eggshells.

"Brother, what do you mean by that?"

Not only Mrs. Wang didn't understand, even Wang Ziteng's wife was also very puzzled.

"I am now promoted to be the Jiedu envoy of the Beijing camp, with tens of thousands of soldiers in my hand. It looks like a beautiful scene, but in fact it is full of danger everywhere. During this time, the First Prince and the Fourth Prince have come to look for me. They want to win me over."

"It's a good thing." Mrs. Wang looked at Wang Ziteng with a puzzled expression, "It's a good thing that elder brother is valued so much by the eldest prince and the fourth prince."

Wang Ziteng glared at Mrs. Wang fiercely, and said angrily: "What do you know, I can't offend whether it's the eldest prince or the fourth prince. For safety's sake, I can only remain neutral and don't go to either side. Hurry up and send back all the gifts those people sent me." Wang Ziteng still had a brain, and he was not dazzled by the joy of being promoted.It is a great thing for the first prince and the fourth prince to win him over, but it is a very dangerous thing for him. If he does not handle it well, he will offend one of the two princes. No matter which one he offends, his life will be difficult.

Mrs. Wang really wanted Wang Ziteng to choose the fourth prince. After all, the fourth prince was raised by the queen, but she is a woman who is not good at interfering in political affairs.

Wang Ziteng knew his sister very well, and warned her: "Don't cause trouble for me, and return the gift to me when you go back."

Mrs. Wang was very afraid of her elder brother, so she didn't dare to say anything: "I will leave when I go back."

Wang Ziteng's wife told her husband about Jia's mother teaching Mrs. Wang. She wanted to seek justice for her sister-in-law, but she was scolded severely by her husband.

"Good job, Mrs. Jia." Wang Ziteng looked at his sister with a livid face, "Next time this kind of thing happens again, don't blame me as a brother for being rude." Being wooed by the First Prince and the Fourth Prince, many people are jealous and want to find out his faults and pull him down.

Mrs. Wang's eyes were red from being scolded, she bit her lip, with an aggrieved expression.She thought her brother would help her vent her anger, but she was severely scolded instead.

Seeing his sister's aggrieved expression, Wang Ziteng felt even more angry, and couldn't help but speak a little harshly: "If I know what you have done with me, don't blame me for not recognizing you as a sister." His sister I was spoiled since I was a child, and I don't have much brains in doing things.He used to think that his younger sister was cute like this, and foolish people have foolish blessings, anyway, he was covered by his brother.However, looking at it now, his younger sister is likely to do stupid things to get him into trouble.

"Master, how can you say that about my sister?"

When Wang Ziteng saw his wife, he scolded him impolitely.In the end, he went to the Queen Mother and asked the Queen Mother to take care of the family and servants so that they would not cause trouble for him.

Mrs. Wang returned to her natal family full of hope, but was severely reprimanded by her mother and elder brother. She was full of grievances and anger, feeling that her mother and elder brother no longer regarded her as a family member.

When I got home, I lay down on the bed and cried a lot.

Madame Wang was so angry that she didn't listen to Wang Ziteng's words, and returned the gift she had sent before, but kept it.These are good things, they are hers if they are given to her, and she is reluctant to return them.

The matter of Wang Ziteng's promotion made a big splash in Rongguo Mansion, but soon calmed down again.The servants of the Second Household of Rongguo Mansion have also become more honest, and they no longer dare to show off their might.

Because of Wang Ziteng's promotion, no one in the Jia family cared about the results of Jia Lian's examination except Jia She's family.

The day before the government examination results were announced, the rest of the Jia family finally remembered this incident.

Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng cared about their bets in the gambling house, not about Jia Lian's exam results.Everyone in the Jia family thought that Jia Lian was the top case in the government examination, so they didn't care about Jia Lian's result in the government examination.

Seeing that the government examination results are about to be announced, more than half of the people in the capital are very concerned about the announcement of the government examination results.

Before the government test results are announced, many people in the capital will be unable to sleep tonight.

April [-]th is the day when the government tries to release the list.

At Sishi, the results of the government examination will be announced on time.

Because of the experience of the last county examination, this time Wang Shanbao and Xing'er went to the place where the results were released to wait at dawn.

This time they were not the first ones to go, but at least they were able to stand in the front and see the list for the first time.

After a while, the place where the results were announced was crowded with people.This time, apart from the candidates and their parents looking at the list, there were also many people who went to the casino to bet.

Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng also sent servants to wait for the announcement of the results. They bet a lot of money this time, so of course they are concerned about the results of the government examination.

The second room is carrying a stool and waiting to go to the gambling house to get money, while the first room is all nervous and worried.

As the person involved, Jia Lian was much calmer than the others, but he was still a little worried, after all, it was about his life.

At Sishi, the yamen servants appeared in front of everyone on time, and posted the list on the wall without any ink marks.

Xing'er saw Jia Lian who was written at the top of the list at a glance, and immediately shouted happily: "The young master has passed the test! The young master is the top case! The young master is the top case!" After finishing speaking, he squeezed out of the crowd Go out and prepare to return home to announce the good news.

When Jia Amnesty heard that Jia Lian had passed the test, he jumped up happily like a child, but he said: "Get rich! Get rich! Get rich!"

Jia Lian was also very excited when he learned that he had passed the top of the government examination.One is that his own life was saved, and the other is that he made a fortune. 50 taels of gold, ten to one, he will earn 500 taels of gold this time.

The first room is happy, but the second room is gloomy.

When Mrs. Wang heard that Jia Lian had passed the test, she was so angry that she almost fainted. She kept saying, "Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! How could Jia Lian win the test?!" After paying 5000 taels of silver, he couldn't bear the blow any longer, and passed out directly.
