Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

Jia Lian thought to himself that he passed the Jieyuan examination and won four yuan. It is normal for the head of the mountain to praise him a few words. As for whether he will give him a prize, he has no hope.

Speaking of which, there are various legends about Shan Chang, except that he wrote a great masterpiece "Jade Hall Travel Notes", the rest of the rumors are strange.

Some people said that Feng Yutang had a weird temper.Some people say that Feng Yutang is proud of his talents and has no one in his eyes.Some people say that Feng Yuting does not eat the fireworks of the world, but devotes herself to learning.Some people said that Feng Yutang had a withdrawn personality and stayed at home all day without going anywhere. Few people had met him.

Because Feng Yutang is very low-key, he never attends any gatherings, banquets, poetry gatherings and other activities, and few people see him, so there are various legends.

Jia Lian thinks that ordinary masters have a strong temper, so when you see the head of the mountain later, you have to be careful in what you say.

After walking with Mr. Lu for about [-] minutes, we finally arrived at the courtyard where the head of the mountain lived.

The courtyard where the head of the mountain lived was on the back hill of Zishan Academy, far away from the classrooms of the academy.Although Feng Yutang was the head of Zishan Academy, he hardly showed up.Few of the students at Zishan Academy have seen him.

Mr. Lu knocked on the door, and soon someone opened the door from the inside. It was an old man in his 50s and [-]s.

"Mr. Lu, you are here."

"Fu Bo, is the head of the mountain busy?"

"The master is watering the flowers and plants, and he is not busy." Uncle Fu made a beckoning finger, "Mr. Lu and this student come in."

Jia Lian followed Mr. Lu into the yard, and was immediately attracted by the scenery in the yard. He saw chrysanthemums of various colors in the yard, such as white, yellow, blue, and purple.There are also many flowers that Jia Lian can't name, and the colors are also various.

There are not only various flowers, but also various green potted plants.The potted plants are very neatly trimmed and very beautiful.

Suddenly heard a clear and crisp bird call, Jia Lian followed the sound and forgot the past, and found a few birds standing on the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the middle of the yard.

Jia Lian has only one feeling, beautiful, very beautiful!However, this is in line with the status of a master.Generally speaking, the places where masters live are very beautiful and secluded.

Mr. Lu didn't see the head of the mountain in the front yard, so he took Jia Lian to the backyard, and found the head of the mountain among the flowers and plants in the backyard.

Jia Lian saw a man and a woman wearing coarse clothes, one was watering flowers and plants with his head down, and the other was pruning flower branches.

Mr. Lu stepped forward and called respectfully: "Shan Zhang, madam."

Feng Yutang didn't stop what he was doing and continued watering, and responded lightly: "En."

Madam stopped what she was doing, put down the scissors, and smiled at Mr. Lu: "Xiao Lu is here."

"Shan Zhang, Ma'am, I brought Jia Lian." After Mr. Lu finished speaking, he turned his body slightly and looked back at Jia Lian who was standing not far away.

Madam raised her eyes and looked at Jia Lian, with surprise flashing in her eyes, she said with a chuckle, "What a handsome child."

Mr. Lu beckoned to Jia Lian: "Jia Lian, come here."

Hearing this, Jia Lian came over and made a formal salute to the head of the mountain and his wife: "Student Jia Lian has met the head of the mountain and his wife."

"Good boy, you don't need to be so polite." Mrs. Shanchang's tone was very gentle, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

"Mrs. Xie." Jia Lian straightened up and obediently stood beside Mr. Lu, not daring to look around.

Mrs. Shan Chang looked Jia Lian from head to toe carefully, with a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth: "He is really a beautiful child." She has lived a long time and has seen many good-looking children and young people. People, but I have never seen such a good-looking child in front of me.His appearance was impeccable, his demeanor was fresh and handsome, and he was not inferior to the royal man at all.

Jia Lian looked up at Mrs. Shan Chang. Her facial features were not that delicate, but they were very clear, with gentle eyes and a gentle smile, which made people feel very comfortable.

"Thank you for your compliment." Jia Lian blushed slightly, a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Shanchang saw that her father was still watering, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Old man, here is a visitor, put down your work." After finishing speaking, she turned to look at Mr. Lu and Jia Lian, and said with a smile, "You first come with me. Go to the living room, sit down and have a cup of tea first."

"Yes."

Mrs. Shanchang brought Mr. Lu and Jia Lian to the living room and asked the housekeeper to bring tea to Jia Lian, while she went to wash and change clothes.

After Mrs. Shan Chang changed her clothes and came out, Shan Chang stopped watering activities, did not change her clothes, and went directly to the living room and sat down.

Mrs. Shan Chang felt that her father was too rude: "Old man, go and change your clothes."

"No need, Xiao Lu is not an outsider." The head of the mountain said very casually, he didn't even put down his rolled up sleeves, just sat on the chair carelessly, picked up a cup of tea and drank it.

Jia Lian was startled by Shanzhang's heroic appearance, and the image of a stalwart master in his heart suddenly collapsed. The agreed-upon masters all look like they don't eat fireworks. Why is Shanzhang so... rude?

Seeing Jia Lian's stunned look, Mrs. Shanchang said helplessly, "I'm sorry, he just looks like this. I hope I didn't scare you." Others thought that her husband didn't eat the fireworks of the world, and looked like an exile. , In fact, it's the complete opposite. My husband is very bold and unconstrained, not at all like other scholars.

Jia Lian stood up and quickly waved his hands: "No, not at all." Although he was far from the image of a master who was like a banished fairy in his heart, such a bold and down-to-earth master is not bad.

"You guys talk, I'm going out to work first."

"Ma'am, go slowly."

After Shan Changniu drank a few cups of tea, he looked at Jia Lian sharply: "Jia Lian, right?"

Jia Lian stood up, bowed to the head of the mountain, and said respectfully: "The student is right."

"You did well in the township examination this time. You passed the four yuan examination at a young age, No. 1 in history." Although the tone of Shan Zhang said this sentence was very flat, he looked at Jia Lian with admiration.

"Students are just lucky." Ever since Xie Yuan passed the provincial examination, the first thing people said when they saw him was that he passed Jieyuan and Siyuan, No.1 in the history of the Dalong Dynasty.

"Don't be modest, fluke and coincidence can't be the first place in the exam." Shan Zhang had read the exam papers written by Jia Lian before, and he was a bit talented, otherwise he would not have passed the four-yuan exam.

When Jia Lian heard what the head of the mountain said, he couldn't be more modest: "The head of the mountain is too much." The head of the mountain called him over, and it was to praise him.

"Do you know what I called you to do?"

When Jia Lian heard this question, there was a hint of doubt on his face. Wasn't it just to praise him?

"The students don't know, so please ask the head of the mountain for guidance."

"The exam will be held in April next year. During this time, you don't have to go to the classroom, just come to my class directly."

"!!!!!!" Jia Lian's eyes widened in astonishment in an instant, and she stared blankly at the head of the mountain with an expression of disbelief.

etc!Did he hear correctly, the head of the mountain asked him to come to his place for class, is it true? !

Seeing Jia Lian's stunned look, the head of the mountain couldn't help laughing, and teased, "Why don't you believe it?"

Mr. Lu saw Jia Lian's stunned expression, and a smile flashed across his eyes. Seeing that Jia Lian hadn't recovered, he had no choice but to call him, "Jia Lian!"

When Jia Lian heard Mr. Lu calling him, he recovered from the huge shock, shook his head quickly, and then nodded again.

"You shook your head and nodded again, what do you want to say?"

Jia Lian took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and asked with a look of surprise: "Master Shan, do you want me to come to your place for class in the future?"

The head of the mountain deliberately raised his eyebrows, pretending to be displeased and said, "You don't want to?"

Jia Lian shook his head again and again: "No, I am very willing, but why?" Didn't the head of the mountain never accept students, why did he suddenly accept him as a student?

"I just asked you to come to my place for class, and I didn't mean to officially accept you as a disciple." In fact, he didn't want to teach Jia Lian at first, after all, Jia Lian had already passed the four-yuan exam, so if he taught him again, his motives were not pure. No, others thought that he deliberately taught Jia Lian at this time for the sake of fame.Later, other teachers from the academy came to persuade him to let him teach Jia Lian for half a year without accepting Jia Lian as a formal student.If they Zishan Academy can have a Liuyuan, it will be famous in history.For this reputation, they hoped that he would know Jia Lian for a while.

Although he doesn't like to be famous, if there is a six-yuan student in Zishan Academy, it will definitely be famous in history, which is also a good thing.As the head of Zishan Academy, he should also do something for the academy.So, after thinking about it, I agreed to the request.

Jia Lian never thought of being able to worship the head of the mountain as a teacher. Now it is a great joy to be taught by the head of the mountain. How dare he ask the head of the mountain to accept him as a disciple.

"Student, thank you Shanzhang." Jia Lian knelt down and saluted Shanzhang.

The head of the mountain stood up, stretched out his hand to support Jia Lian, and said with a gentle face, "I will only guide you for half a year. Whether you can pass the Huiyuan exam depends on your own luck."

"Students must work hard." Jia Lian was very excited now.

The head of the mountain looked at Jia Lian, and suddenly asked: "Why did you study in Zishan Academy, to seek fame, or to seek Taoism?"

Jia Lian was taken aback by the question.

He didn't understand what the head of the mountain was asking this question for.

name?Seek Tao?

It is understandable to seek fame, just to be famous.

What does it mean to seek the Tao?

When it comes to Taoism, Jia Lian's thoughts immediately go astray.

Seeing that Jia Lian was in a daze for a while, Shan Chang didn't react, so he had to ask from another angle: "Why did you read the books of sages?"

What is the original intention of reading?

Thinking of his original intention, Jia Lian's head was full of black lines.He didn't want to read the books of sages at all, he was forced to read by the system.

"In order to test for the number one scholar." Jia Lian explained the purpose of his study.

Hearing Jia Lian's answer, Shan Chang and Mr. Lu were both stunned, as if surprised.

The head of the mountain was stunned for a few seconds and came back to his senses. He held back a smile and said, "For the sake of winning the first prize?"

Jia Lian nodded, "For the sake of winning the first prize."

The head of the mountain took a deep look at Jia Lian, saw that his eyes were clear, and he didn't look like he was lying, so he felt a little interesting, and asked, "What about after winning the first prize?"

Jia Lian replied honestly: "After passing the examination, you will become an official."

"What kind of officer do you want to be?"

Jia Lian really thought about this question.After being bound by the system, he thought about what kind of official he would be if he won the first prize and entered the officialdom, honest official, corrupt official, or powerful minister?

"Hui Shanchang, I don't know what kind of official I want to be, but I want to do something useful for the people after I become an official." He felt that since he wanted to take this path, he had to have a sense of responsibility.Although he became an official to get rid of the Jia family, he will not forget his responsibilities and will do something useful for the common people.

"Find a job in his place."

When the head of the mountain heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "This is the first time I have heard such an answer from you." This child cannot be said to be completely innocent, but he is much more honest.

"So you study for fame?"

Jia Lian nodded slightly: "Yes." After answering, Jia Lian felt a little regretful. The head of the mountain specially asked him this question, in fact, he wanted him to answer to study for Taoism.It seems that literary masters feel that reading for fame and fame is a bit of a blasphemy for the books of sages.The head of the mountain will not feel that he has blasphemed the book of sages, and then he will not guide him.

After hearing this answer, the head of the mountain was not displeased. On the contrary, he nodded with satisfaction: "Since you are studying for the sake of fame, then work hard."

When Jia Lian heard the words, she blinked blankly, is this gone?Don't you accuse him of studying for fame?

The head of the mountain seemed to see Jia Lian's smile, and said with a soft laugh, "Do you think I will scold you for studying for fame?"

Jia Lian nodded in a daze: "Yes." Isn't this the temper of ordinary literary masters?

The head of the mountain laughed out loud as if he heard some funny joke: "Hahahahaha, you are so funny."

Jia Lian was inexplicably laughed at, and looked at Mr. Lu begging for help, as if asking Mr. Lu, did I say something wrong?

Mr. Lu did not expect Jia Lian to have such a cute side, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The head of the mountain laughed for a while before stopping: "I'm not one of those pedantic people, and I won't accuse you of studying for fame." Good things are good.

When Jia Lian heard this, she blushed slightly, a little embarrassed: "It's the students who are pedantic."

The head of the mountain suddenly became very serious: "Remember what you said to me today, when you become an official, you must do things for the common people."

Jia Lian couldn't help but tremble, and his expression became very serious: "Don't worry, Chief Shan, I will never forget what I said to you today."

"That's good, you go back today and come over tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Chief Shan."

The head of the mountain suddenly thought of something and said, "I heard that you are good at painting."

Jia Lian was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then said modestly: "I have studied painting with Mr. Wei for several years, but my painting is not very good."

"Can you still paint Western paintings?"

"Yes." How did the head of the mountain know that he could draw Western paintings.

"Draw me a western painting, it's my reward for guiding you."

Jia Lian: "..."

"Don't want to?"

"No, it's just that I didn't expect the head of the mountain to want Western paintings."

"Draw whatever you want." This boy gave the second boy several Western paintings, and he thought it was very good after reading it, which made him feel the charm of paint.

"Yes."

"you can go now."

"Students leave."

On the way back, Jia Lian was very puzzled, why did the head of the mountain suddenly want to guide him for half a year?

"Mr. Lu, why did the head of the mountain guide me?"

Mr. Lu said blankly: "Because you passed the four-yuan exam, the academy wants you to pass the six-yuan exam, so the head of the mountain is asked to personally guide you for half a year."

When Jia Lian heard what Mr. Lu said so straightforwardly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he complained in his heart, Mr. Lu, is it really okay for you to tell him the purpose of the academy so directly?At this time, it shouldn't be said that the head of the mountain took a fancy to his potential or something.

"You passed the four-yuan exam, and you are already No.1 in the history of my court." Mr. Lu continued, "The academy wants to help you pass the six-yuan exam, and it is also for the academy."

Jia Lian thought to himself that if he passed the Liuyuan exam, not only would he leave a strong mark in history, but even Zishan Academy would be famous in history.

Zishan Academy is now only the best academy in the capital, not the best academy in the country.If he passed the six-yuan exam, Zishan Academy would become the best academy in the country, even a top academy.

"The head of the mountain never guides any student. He personally teaches you this time. You have to study hard and don't disappoint the academy's expectations of you."

Jia Lian nodded solemnly: "Mr. Lu, I will work hard."

After parting with Mr. Lu, Jia Lian returned to Baihe Garden.

"What did the head of the mountain tell you to do?" Ming Wanju asked curiously when he saw Jia Lian coming back.

Jia Lian said with a wicked smile, "I'll tell you, don't be frightened."

"What?" Ming Wanju suddenly thought of a certain possibility, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he said with an expression of disbelief, "Could it be that the head of the mountain accepted you as a disciple?"

"The head of the mountain did not accept me as an apprentice, but he will personally guide me for half a year. Starting tomorrow, I will go to his yard to take classes." After finishing speaking, Jia Lian had a smug expression on his face.

After Ming Wanju heard it, he looked at Jia Lian with envy and hatred: "Although the head of the mountain didn't accept you as an apprentice, he personally guided you for half a year. You are so hated." Ahhhhhh, He was envious to death.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect that either."

"Actually, the purpose of the head of the mountain to guide you is obvious. It should be for five or six dollars." Ming Wanju heard Jia Lian say that the head of the mountain didn't accept him as an apprentice, but only taught him for half a year, so he knew what the head of the mountain was up to. .

"You said it was right, and it was for six yuan."

"Although Zishan Academy is the best academy in the capital, it is not the best academy in the whole country."

"Which academy is the best academy in the country?"

"Bailu Academy in the south of the Yangtze River." Ming Wanju said popular science, "Bailu Academy has a history of hundreds of years, and has produced many champions, second places, and top candidates. It is very difficult for you to pass the exam this time." The general examination is an examination that all the candidates from all over the country take together.

"This White Deer Academy is so powerful?" Jia Lian was shocked.

"No. [-], No. [-], Tan Hua, students of Bailu Academy will all get one of them. Do you think they are good?"

Jia Lian was so shocked that he almost said shit, but fortunately he stopped in time: "This is too powerful."

"Especially the champions in these years are basically students of Bailu Academy."

Jia Lian: "..." Suddenly he felt that his life was about to die.

"That's why the head of the mountain is willing to guide you for half a year." Ming Wanju analyzed honestly, "As long as Zishan Academy pays six yuan, even if Bailu Academy has a lot of champions, it can't compare with Zishan Academy."

"Suddenly I feel a lot of pressure."

Ming Wanju raised his hand and patted Jia Lian's shoulder, encouraging him, "With the leader of the mountain to guide you, you must be fine."

"Hopefully."

Soon, the news that the head of the mountain personally guided Jia Lian spread in Zishan Academy in an instant, causing a huge sensation.

The students of Zishan Academy are envious, jealous, and convinced of this.

When Shui Rong heard the news, he broke many vases angrily.

The fourth brother already valued Jia Lian, but now that he learned that Jia Lian was personally taught by the head of the mountain, the fourth brother would probably value Jia Lian even more.

Didn't the head of the mountain not guide the students? Why did he teach Jia Lian himself?

What's so good about Jia Lian, isn't it that he passed the exam to understand Yuan, and passed the four-yuan exam? What's so great about it.

When Shui Rong thought of how much the fourth prince valued Jia Lian, he was filled with jealousy.

The news that Jia Lian was mentored by Feng Yutang personally spread to the outside of Zishan Academy, and now everyone in the capital knew about it, causing an uproar.

What is Feng Yutang's identity?

That's a great Confucian, a legendary figure!

What a privilege to be personally mentored by a figure of legend.Many people thought that the Jia family's ancestral grave must be smoking.

When Jia Zhu heard the news at home, she angrily kicked over the desks and chairs in the study.

"It's Jia Lian again, why is he? What's so good about him?" Jia Zhu's eyes were red, and her face was distorted by jealousy. "Mr. Feng, you don't accept students, you don't guide students, why do you teach Jia Lian, why?" Jia Zhu's eyes were dark.

The fourth prince is like this, and now even Mr. Feng is like this, what good is Jia Lian?

Jia Zhu was very upbeat this time, and she didn't vomit blood and pass out out of anger when she heard this.

"Brother Lian is really not easy, to be able to be taught by Mr. Feng." Mother Jia, a woman who lived far away, also knew Feng Yutang's reputation, which shows how famous Feng Yutang's reputation is.

"Old lady, with Mr. Feng's guidance, Young Master Lian will definitely be successful in the future." Everyone Lai regretted it now, and should try to please Young Master Lian in the past few years.

"Yeah, Brother Lian really surprised me." Before Baoyu grew up, the Rongguo Mansion had to count on Brother Lian's revival.Brother Zhu and Brother Lian don't get along well, but it can make Brother Lian and Baoyu get along well.In the future, let Baoyu get closer to brother Lian.

After the fourth prince heard the news, he was shocked at first, and then burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, I knew that kid Jia Lian would not let me down, and he was able to get my uncle's personal guidance."

"I didn't expect Mr. Jia to be personally guided by the son-in-law. It's really amazing." Lin Shaoxiong was amazed.

"Uncle never accepts students, nor mentors any students. Jia Lian can get his guidance, which shows that Uncle appreciates him very much." Not only these princes, even the father of the year did not receive guidance from Uncle.Now that Jia Lian is being personally guided by his uncle, what does this mean?

"It's still the prince who is wise, he has taken a fancy to Jia Lian from the beginning." Lin Shaoxiong completely admired his prince's long-term vision.

"This king never thought that he would be taught by his great-aunt." The fourth prince's heart is now very hot and very excited.The great-aunt's status in the eyes of literati is very high, and Jia Lian can be personally guided by the great-aunt, which means that Jia Lian's status in reading will be greatly improved.Everyone in the capital knew that Jia Lian belonged to him, so he would be supported by more scholars.

"I really didn't expect..." Lin Shaoxiong thought, at that time he still looked down on Jia Lian, but he didn't expect that after three years, Jia Lian actually got the favor of the son-in-law.

"Jia Lian has the teachings of his aunt and grandpa. He is very likely to win the Huiyuan examination. He will be five yuan by then. If he wins the first prize in the palace examination, he will be the sixth yuan. He will be the No. 1 examination in the ages. Zhong Liuyuan, do you know what this means?" The fourth prince looked very excited.

"It means that the prince will be even more powerful."

"Yes! What will the elder brother fight for me this time!" The fourth prince looked smug, as if he had the chance to win.

Lin Shaoxiong congratulated with insight: "Congratulations to the prince who is about to become the prince."

The fourth prince was pleased by Lin Shaoxiong's words: "Hahahaha..."

At this time, Emperor Longwu who was in the imperial study was also surprised when he heard the news.

"I didn't expect my uncle to personally guide that kid Jia Lian."

"To be taught by the son-in-law personally, this Jia Lian is really blessed for eight lifetimes." At that time, the emperor did not receive the guidance of the son-in-law.

"Uncle will personally guide that kid Jia Lian, probably because he wants him to pass the six-yuan exam."

"Six yuan in the exam?" Li Jinzhong almost exclaimed, "Is this possible?"

"With my uncle's guidance, that kid Jia Lian might actually be able to pass the six-yuan exam." Emperor Longwu was full of expectations for next year's general and imperial examinations, and wanted to see if Jia Lian would win the Huiyuan and No. [-] prizes.

"If you pass the exam, Jia Lian will become No. 1..." No one in any dynasty in history passed the Liuyuan exam.If Jia Lian got six yuan in the exam, it means... Li Jinzhong didn't dare to think about it.

"I really hope that he can pass the exam under the guidance of my uncle." If Jia Lian passed the six-yuan exam, he, the emperor, would also be honored.

"With the personal guidance of the son-in-law, Jia Lian will definitely pass the exam." Li Jinzhong said flatteringly.

"Hopefully."

Jia Lian didn't know that Feng Yutang's guidance would cause such a big sensation, and he was learning from Feng Yutang at this time.

The mountain leader Feng Yutang taught Jia Lian for a few days, and found that Jia Lian was not only smart, but also had a very good memory.Although I haven't achieved the ability of photographic memory, but I can remember it two or three times. This memory is also very good. No wonder this kid can pass the quadruple exam.

Jia Lian found that Shan Zhang was worthy of being a great Confucian of the generation, and the things he taught were different, which benefited him a lot.He believed that after half a year of guidance from the head of the mountain, he might have a chance to pass the Huiyuan exam.

Feng Yutang taught Jia Lian for a while, and the more he taught, the more satisfied he became.To be honest, he was a little tempted and wanted to officially accept him as a student, but thinking that the fourth prince seemed to value Jia Lian very much, he stopped thinking about it.

Although Jia Lian is a rare talent, it will be very troublesome if he is involved in a power struggle.He had let go of his word a long time ago, that he would not teach any prince, would not support any prince, and would not get involved in power struggles.

Jia Lian didn't know that because of the fourth prince, he missed the opportunity to become Feng Yutang's official student.If he knew, he would be so angry that he wanted to kill the Fourth Prince.

Going home after a holiday, Jia Lian was warmly welcomed by Jia's mother, which frightened Jia Lian very much. She didn't understand what the old lady was doing or what she was thinking.

"Brother Lian hasn't hugged Baoyu yet, come and hug him." Jia Mu put Jia Baoyu in her arms into Jia Lian's arms.

A fat baby was suddenly stuffed in his arms, which made Jia Lian froze involuntarily, he couldn't hold a baby.

Jia Baoyu opened his big black eyes and looked at Jia Lian curiously.

Jia Lian looked down at Jia Baoyu in his arms, and sighed in his heart, this boy is really good-looking, no wonder he can deceive so many girls, but unfortunately he didn't take it seriously, blinding his beautiful face for nothing.

Jia Baoyu grinned and giggled at Jia Lian, as if he liked this pretty brother very much.

Seeing this scene, Jia's mother was very satisfied and relieved: "It seems that Baoyu likes Brother Lian very much."

"Grandmother, I don't know how to hold a child. I'm afraid it will hurt Baoyu. You should carry it back." What happened to the old lady today?Why did he suddenly let him hug Jia Baoyu today? I'm not afraid that he will hurt her baby.

"Baoyu likes your brother very much, so you can hug him for a while." Jiamu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Jia Lian looked at Jia Mu strangely, the old lady is too abnormal today.

"Ahhhhhh..." Jia Baoyu stretched out his hand to grab something.

Jia Lian didn't like children and didn't have the patience to hold them, so he returned Jia Baoyu to Jia's mother: "Grandmother, Baoyu is too young and his body is too soft. I'm really afraid of hurting him. You should hold him."

"What are you afraid of, kid?"

Sitting in Jia Mu's arms, Jia Baoyu opened his arms towards Jia Lian to hug him: "Ahhhhhh..."

"You see Baoyu likes you very much."

Jia Lian didn't want to be liked by Jia Baoyu, so he quickly found an excuse: "Grandma, I have something else to do, I'll come back tomorrow to greet you."

"Go get busy."

When Jia Lian left, Jia's mother said to everyone Lai who was waiting on the side: "Baoyu likes brother Lian very much, and I am not afraid that their brothers will not get along well."

"The young master is so beautiful and cute, and the young master Lian must like it very much."

Mother Jia lowered her head and kissed Jia Baoyu's tender little face, and said dotingly, "Baoyu, I want to get closer to your second brother Lian." When he grows up, brother Lian will definitely help Baoyu and find a good way out for Baoyu.

Jia Lian went back to her yard, told Mother Zhao about Mother Jia's abnormal expression today, and asked her to analyze it for her.Zhao Nanny is an old man in Rongguo Mansion, and she knows more about the ins and outs of the mansion than he does.

"Master, the old lady asked you to get closer to Master Baoyu, probably to restore the relationship between the first room and the second room." Zhao Mama guessed, "It is estimated that the old lady also knows that the relationship between you and the young master has deteriorated, so she let Baoyu The young master will get close to you and restore the relationship between the first room and the second room."

Hearing Mammy Zhao say this, Jia Lian thought it was very possible: "She is really thinking about the second uncle's family."

"The old lady is still partial." Everything was planned and planned for the second room, but nothing was done for the first room.

Jia Lian raised the corner of her mouth and sneered: "Her wishful thinking was wrong." To be close to Jia Baoyu?What if Jia Baoyu fell in love with him?Jia Baoyu in the original novel even likes men. He is a straight man and doesn't want to be entangled by men.

"Master, you should stay away from Master Baoyu in the future."

"I know." Jia Lian asked, "How is Jia Zhu?" Hearing that he was personally guided by the head of the mountain, was he so angry that he vomited blood and passed out.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that some time ago, I heard that the young master was personally guided by the son-in-law, so he smashed the study in anger."

"Didn't vomit blood? Didn't pass out?"

"No."

Jia Lian looked surprised: "I didn't get dizzy this time, it seems that my health has improved a lot."

Mother Zhao was amused by Jia Lian's words: "Hehehe, when the young master passes the Huiyuan exam, the young master will definitely vomit blood from anger."

"How is my second aunt?" Mrs. Wang has been imprisoned in the Buddhist hall for a month.

"This time, the old lady is so cruel that she really won't let anyone visit her, and she won't let anyone give the second wife something delicious." Mammy Zhao said with some sighs, "I don't know how many times the young master begged for it." The old lady just didn't agree. The young master and the young mistress secretly sent delicious food to the second wife, and the old lady scolded her severely when she found out. "

"So determined?" Jia Lian was surprised.

Zhao Nanny nodded lightly: "The old lady is cruel this time. I heard that the life of the second wife in the Buddhist hall is very difficult. She can't eat well and sleep well, and she has to copy scriptures and chant Buddha. She was ill a while ago. , I thought the old lady would let her out, but the old lady didn't let her out, and asked someone to send the medicine to the Buddhist hall."

After hearing this, Jia Lian looked thoughtful: Is the old lady showing her attitude to them?

Zhao Nanny said mockingly: "The old slave guessed that the second wife was pretending to be sick and wanted to come out of the Buddhist hall, but unfortunately the old lady didn't agree."

"It's still cheaper for her."It is a serious crime for the second aunt to use witchcraft. The old lady just locked her in the Buddhist hall. Although no one was allowed to visit and send food, she still favored the second aunt.

"I thought I could bring down the second wife this time, but I didn't expect the old lady to defend the second wife so much."

"The future is long, and one day I can completely bring her down."

"Master said yes."

The next day, when Jia Lian went to greet Jia's mother, Jia's mother asked him to hold Jia Baoyu again, so he found an excuse to slip away.He didn't want to get close to Jia Baoyu.

Back to Zishan Academy for class, Jia Lian found that Mrs. Shanchang seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, and even Shanchang was in a good mood.

"Brother Lian, I will stay for lunch at noon today, and I will cook by myself today." Mrs. Shan Chang said with a smile on her face.

"Ma'am, what day is it today, you and the head of the mountain seem very happy?"

Mrs. Shan Chang glared at Jia Lian, pretended to be angry and said, "How many times have you told me to call me Mrs.

"It's against the rules." The head of the mountain didn't accept him as a student, and it was inappropriate to call Mrs. the head of the mountain "mother".

"Although the old man did not accept you as a formal student, he has guided you. If you call him sir, you will naturally call me mistress." Madam Shanzhang pretended to be very angry and said, "if you don't call me mistress, I will But you will be angry."

Jia Lian had no choice but to call out obediently: "Master!" He called the emperor's aunt "Master", and he suddenly felt that he and the emperor were of the same generation, which was too frightening.

"Good boy." Mrs. Shanchang smiled with satisfaction, "Today is not an important day, but our granddaughter is coming."

"No wonder you and the head of the mountain are so happy." It turned out that the granddaughter was coming. "Then I'll disturb you if I stay for dinner."

"It's okay, it's delicious when people eat more."

"Master, forget it, I won't stay for dinner today."

"Then how can I do it..." Mrs. Shanzhang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shanzhang.

"You asked him to stay for lunch, what about Wu'er?" Wu'er is 12 years old this year, and Jia Lian is 14 years old. They are both half adults. How can they sit and eat together.

Mrs. Shanchang heard her husband say this, and then she remembered the rule, and she looked a little annoyed: "I'm so happy, I forgot about it for a while."

The head of the mountain looked at Jia Lian: "Come to class normally in the afternoon."

"Yes, sir." Jia Lian bowed to Mrs. Shanchang, "Master, I'm leaving first."

"Brother Lian, I'm sorry, I'll keep you for lunch next time."

"It's ok."

As soon as Jia Lian left, the head of the mountain's granddaughter arrived, but the head of the mountain and his wife were very happy.

In fact, Wu'er often came to Zishan Academy to visit his grandparents, and then stayed for a few days.

After lunch, Wu'er took a walk in the yard with the head of the mountain and his wife, but she was a little restless. She hoped that time would pass faster so that she could see Jia Lian sooner.

In the afternoon, Jia Lian came to the mountain chief's yard and saw a girl standing in the yard watering the flowers at a glance, thinking that this should be the mountain chief's granddaughter.

"Brother Lian, you're here." Mrs. Shan Chang was weeding the flowers, and when she saw Jia Lian coming, she greeted him cordially.

When Wu'er heard this, her heart jumped suddenly, and she didn't dare to turn her head to look at the person she had been thinking about for the past four years.

"Master, good afternoon."

"Come to introduce you." Mrs. Shan Chang called to her granddaughter, "Five children come here."

Wu'er became tense in an instant, put down the watering can in his hand, and turned around
