[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

The evidence definitely caught Zuo Daxiong and his party. After interrogation, the magistrate Yang learned that these people had dirty hands, and more or less some children were murdered.

No matter what era it is, kidnappers are deeply hated. Since Zuo Daxiong and others were arrested, and the Zhen family made it clear that they did not cover up or know these people, people began to report the crime one after another.

Although communication is underdeveloped, Prefect Yang still spent some energy looking for the children, but the results were not satisfactory. The children who were found had to suffer a lot, and the children who could not be found did not know whether they survived. As soon as the official took office, he worked hard to sort out the matter.

In the following years, there were a lot fewer kidnappers in Jinling, and many children who might be kidnapped and trafficked were indirectly saved. I don't know whether to thank Yang Zhifu or Zhang Rui and Jia Lian.

For Zhang Rui, the exams of Jia Hu and Jia Zhen in February are the most important.So after Lian'er came back, Zhang Rui detained the two children at home to study as a punishment, and then began to take care of the candidates.

She has been an examinee, and she knows that the children are a little sensitive at this time, so she doesn't overact in front of the two children. She just asks the two husbands about their progress in private.

Mr. Jia Hu was as conceited as before, but Jia Zhen, Mr. He hesitated for a moment and said: "Master Zhen has also improved a lot recently. The foundation is not very good, but there is still a three to four out of ten possibility of passing..."

When Zhang Rui heard it, he was a little surprised, so he tentatively asked, "In the opinion of the gentleman, what should I do?"

"Master Zhen's personality is lax, if you are more strict..." The husband doesn't mind telling the old lady that he can't control Jia Zhen, after all, he is just a gentleman, and it is also true that he will not be able to beat or scold the future successor of Ningguo Mansion.

Zhang Rui understands that this is to let her give Jia Zhen a firm grip, but it is also a skill to prevent him from rebellious. When he returned to his room, he pressed the table and muttered in his heart: "I don't know if there is any What books can parents read before the exam..."

Xun Yi is a little bit hard to see, Jia Hu is a brilliant kid with deep knowledge, Jia Zhen doesn't care about the results at all, she is not as weak as she thinks, if she has this spare time, she might as well go to Xingwang, he hasn't hugged anyone for a long time a~

In the end, Zhang Rui didn't come up with the reason, so he decided to be simple and rough, and called Jia Zhen to "hammer" him for nothing, rubbed him a few times, and watched him go to school as if he had been beaten up, and then slacked off. After a few days Continue, and repeat this process until the day before the two of you go to the examination room.

There is an old saying that spring is cold, autumn and winter, although the temperature in Jinling is higher than that in the capital, Zhang Rui also borrowed some simple and crude methods from the books he has read. When the weather is cold, he runs around the small garden every morning, while running He was also reciting the book aloud, with Jia Hu leading the way, and Jia Zhen following the memorization, his mind was sober and his memory was also very good.

Every time Jia Zhen thought of being exposed to the cold outside, her aunt and those two brats were sleeping in the warm bed, but Jia Hu never said anything to her aunt, and supervised him every day. Follow the run, there is no principle at all!

And Jia Zhen, who is very principled, was allowed to rest well on the last day before the exam, but she still woke up at dawn, got up after tossing and turning, and saw Jia Hu walking in the yard when she walked out.

"I said, it's a sure thing for you to pass the exam, why did you wake up so early in the morning?"

Jia Hu stopped and glanced at his cousin, then turned around and continued walking, "Nothing is guaranteed."

"Eh?" Jia Zhen strode towards Jia Hu in a big stride, and said in amazement, "You are so familiar with the book that you can't be afraid?"

After a pause, Jia Hu silently nodded.

"Don't be too nervous and fail the exam!" Jia Zhen finally felt that the matter was a little serious at this time, and said nervously: "You don't need to worry too much about it according to your usual level, and write slowly. , you are absolutely fine!"

If it is modern, at this time, we should say "Steady, we can win", but the ancient Wa Jiazhen suddenly had the responsibility of being an elder brother at this time, and was a little flustered for a while, "Should I tell my uncle? Make sure there are measures to appease you!"

Jia Hu thought to himself that it was his grandmother who asked him to wait here early in the morning, so he shook his head and said, "I'm just feeling a little dazed all of a sudden, with Cousin Zhen comforting me, I'm much better now."

"Very good, very good~" Jia Zhen inspected his expression carefully, and finally felt a little more relaxed.

"I'm afraid that grandma will be disappointed if she doesn't do well in the exam, but what my cousin said is right, as long as we settle down and perform to the extent we should, we will definitely get what we want, right? Cousin Zhen?" After finishing speaking, Jia Hu Looking at Jia Zhen expectantly.

Jia Zhen thought of her aunt and grandmother's encouragement to her recently, and nodded approvingly with trembling. He must be careful and careful. With his cousin around, wouldn't it be miserable if he came back and found out that he made a mistake? !

Seeing his cousin's expression, Jia Hu silently praised himself for completing his grandmother's task.

The reason why Zhang Rui asked Jia Hu to remind Jia Zhen was just because she was worried that it would affect Jia Zhen's mood. Being too loose or nervous is not a good thing, but seeing the two of them getting into the carriage, the effect might not be bad?

Zhang Rui wasn't too worried about how the two of them would pass the exam, and felt a sense of relief that the burden had been temporarily let go, but the servants in the old house were a little nervous, and seemed to care more about the grades of the young masters than her grandmother.

"I said mandarin duck, can you raise your hand?" Zhang Rui looked at the overflowing teacup speechlessly.

Yuanyang lowered her head and saw the tea poured out, she quickly wiped off the veil, took out a cup and poured another cup for the old lady, "It's the servant who lost his mind, and the servant is a little worried thinking about the young masters in the examination room."

"I have passed the exam. If you fail the exam this year, you can take the exam next year!" Anyway, as long as you pass the exam in this day and age, no matter how old you are, you are not ashamed.

"Slaves, can't you bear it?"

"You might as well think about yourself~"

The mandarin duck didn't understand, so, "What's the matter with the servant girl?"

"Didn't I ask you what you thought about the events of your life a few years ago?"

"Old madam, why are you bringing this up again?" Yuanyang stamped her feet shyly.

Yuanyang didn't look like this when I mentioned it last time. Zhang Rui caught something keenly, and immediately said: "The male college should be married and the female college should be married. If you don't want to get married, I won't urge you, but if you I have concerns about other things, but I don’t approve, so it’s okay to gamble once, even if it’s a bad life, I’ll make the decision for you.”

"Master..." Yuanyang was very excited, but this kind of thing made my aunt's family take the initiative to say that it was a bit embarrassing, so she could only waver and say: "If there is really a suitable one, I will definitely let him come to you Yes, let you palm your eyes too."

"it is good."

For five days in a row, she set off in the early morning and came back in the evening. On the first day, Zhang Rui got up to see her off, but she didn't get up afterwards, and she didn't ask how the exam was going at night. Jia Hu was okay, so Jia Zhen secretly Talk to my cousin: "I always feel that my great-uncle is not the same as the elders of other people's family."

Jia Hu felt that what his cousin said was empty words, his grandmother would not be like other people's grandmothers!

But Jia Zhen continued to think about it: "If my mother is here, she must be so nervous. She has to surround me every day without talking, and she will probably keep nagging. Thinking about it, I feel that my uncle and grandma are better. "

Jia Hu thought about her own mother, and nodded sympathetically, "My mother is not that serious, but she will definitely be nervous."

Zhang Rui, who was not nervous, sat in the hall on the day when the grades were released, and asked the maid to bring a plate of melon seeds to eat. His mouth was dry and he drank water. After a while, he wanted to go to the toilet. After a while, I calmed down a bit.

Yuanyang and the others saw that the old lady who had always been calm was also a little fidgety, they glanced at each other and secretly smiled, Jia Zhen and Jia Hu also looked at each other, a little helpless.

Seeing that the time for publishing the list had passed, Zhang Rui kept staring outside. Not long after, he heard the voice of a servant approaching, "Passed! Passed! Master Hu has won the case, and Master Zhen is also on the list!"

"Zhen'er also passed the exam?!" Zhang Rui stood up in surprise, staring at the boy, "Zhen'er also passed? How many places?"

The boy replied beamingly: "49!"

"Okay! 49 is also good!" Zhang Rui's face was no longer paralyzed, and he looked at Jia Zhen with a smile on his face, "If your parents know that you are so promising, they must be very excited."

Although Jia Zhen was also excited, she still had the upper hand in embarrassment, "Cousin Hu has won the case! My uncle and grandma should be even more excited."

"Everyone is excited, you are all good children of our Jia family." Zhang Rui smiled from ear to ear, "Pass it on, and you will be rewarded with three months' monthly money!"

"Thank you, old lady! Congratulations to the two young masters!"

The families in Jinling got the news quickly. The two young masters of the Jia family had passed the county examination, and one of them was directly the head of the county case. Naturally, congratulatory gifts were sent one after another.

Zhang Rui is excited, although she doesn't want to see the Zhen family, but she is not a clean-eyed person, she still accepts things, and as for hosting a banquet, she naturally declines, "The children are still young, so don't praise them too much. There will be government exams in April, so studying hard is the key."

On the one hand, Zhang Rui didn't want to be too high-profile, but on the other hand, he really thought about it. Seeing this, everyone couldn't force it, so they just flattered him a few words, so the old house was only lively for two days before returning to quietness.

Jia Zhen's original indifference was based on the fact that she was sure that she would not pass the exam, so she naturally didn't care about it, but suddenly he was hanging on the list, and at the same time, she felt conceited spontaneously. So difficult, maybe he passed the government test?

The enthusiasm for reading was unprecedentedly high, and at the same time the pressure increased sharply, but he persisted firmly.
