[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

Originally, the emperor was going to let Mr. Xie and several other adults read the papers, but because of the in-laws of Jia and Xie's family, in order to avoid suspicion, Mr. Xie and the emperor declined the job.

He has also read Jia Hu's transcribed papers. Although the style of the examiners who graded the papers this year tends to be literary, Jia Hu's answer papers are also reasonable and quoted. Although it is not amazing, there is no major problem. Will not fall into the list of fellow Jinshi.

And Jia Hu's grandfather, Mrs. Zhang, also commented on his papers in the same way. Zhang Rui got a general idea in his heart through the report, knowing that Jia Hu's grades this time were still very good, and Fang Fang's essays were more eloquent than Jia Hu's. More flamboyant and more talented, even if it is weaker in other aspects, it should also appeal to the examiner.

But even so, Mrs. Zhang still goes to worship in front of the ancestor's spiritual throne every day, and occasionally burns incense in the temple on the mountain, just to protect Jia Hu from passing the exam. Jia She has no intention of doing other things. Mrs. Zhang Whatever he does, he goes along with him. He is so devout when he bows down. People who don't understand the details probably think he is a pious believer.

The Fang family in Yangzhou has been tense since the day of Fang Fang's test, and Jia Bian can't even remember morning sickness. I'm going to the capital with my husband, and I don't know if he's used to the cold in the capital."

Mother Fang Fang always treated Jia Bian like her own daughter, and her daughter-in-law is gentle and never picky, so the two of them have always gotten along well, but when she heard what her daughter-in-law said, she couldn't help but annoy her, "The child can hear the sound." , you mother, don't say anything, besides, it's lucky that your mother's family is there, Fang'er might gain weight again!"

The eldest sister of the Fang family next to her laughed secretly when she heard her mother's words, and she didn't know who was worried about her son's worried sleepless nights.

After Jia Hu and Fang Fang raised their faces for several days, their faces became rosy, and the results of the examination were announced. As soon as the officials who announced the good news entered the street where the Rongning Second Mansion was located, the guards at the gate were immediately elated. Report to the masters.

They had inquired a long time ago in the past four weeks, and only their young master and aunt participated in the Spring Festival, so the appointment to announce the good news was directed at the Rongguo Mansion.

As soon as the servants here finished reporting to their masters, the officials who announced the good news entered the mansion on the other side. The servants lit the firecrackers that had been prepared long ago at the gate, and sprinkled some copper coins out.

In the main hall, the official messenger announced the congratulations to everyone in the Jia family: "Congratulations to your family! Jinling candidate Jia Hu won No. 17 and Yangzhou candidate Fang Fang No. 30. Congratulations!"

Although the ranking is not at the top, even if there is a change in the ranking of the imperial examination, the second-class Jinshi is basically done. Jia She clapped his hands and laughed excitedly. Go up to the incense to report the letter.

Everyone was overjoyed, and all the relatives and friends who came and went came to congratulate. Zhang Rui was able to control Jia She's excitement of celebrating, and saved a clean space for Jia Hu and Fang Fang to prepare for the palace test. The state is good, and the ranking can be advanced a little bit, but you can't go back, right?

After Mr. Xie heard about it, he nodded to his son and said, "I was still worried that the Jia family would be too excited and carried away. Now it seems that there are still definite people."

……

On April 21st, Jia Hu and Fang Fang entered the Palace of Preserving Harmony in order to participate in the palace examination in the early morning. There are many young students in this department, and some of them are children of aristocratic families. Therefore, when the candidates were answering the papers, the emperor also took time to come over.

Xun Yi selected a few young students from entering the Hall of Preservation and watched them for a while. Some were nervous and some were calm. When he got to Jia Hu's side, he saw that he just continued to write the answer sheet with a single pause, and his heart sank. nod.

After all, he also watched Jia Hu grow up. For him, Jia Hu is actually closer than the original princes and daughters. Now he is very pleased to see Jia Hu finally got his wish, but all these thoughts Without anyone noticing, he only stayed for a while before walking to the front few candidates.

The examination papers were handed in at dusk, and there were ministers and His Majesty the Son of Heaven making inspections on this day. Candidates hardly dared to eat or drink. Their physical and mental exhaustion made them leave in a hurry.

On the examination day, the examiners selected the top ten papers with the most good papers and presented them to the emperor. After Xun Yi took the papers and read them carefully, he found that there was no one from Jia Hu, and he did not hesitate to give these ten good papers imperial approval There are three people in the first class, and the top six of the second class are also ranked, and then they are taken out to the list filling officer to fill in and publish the list.

Of course, if she knows her identity in this area and asks Jia Hu for convenience, Xun Yi will do it too, but the new tasker is a bit stubborn in some aspects, even if she knows for sure, she will not make such a request Request, so he will never be sloppy when reviewing.

On April 26th, Chuan Lu called their names, and both Jia Hu and Fang Fang knew their rankings. The two of them knew that with their knowledge, such an achievement was considered a solid performance, so there was only joy on their faces without any other emotions.

In order to know the results of the two of them early, the Jia family waited in front of the palace wall early in the morning, and brought back the ranking immediately after the list was released. Fang Fang still maintained the original ranking, and Jia Hu advanced two places. Become No. 15, with the ranks of the second, you can take part in the imperial examination.

Zhang Rui didn't know about Xunyi's examination papers. She was now immersed in the joy of being a top student at home, thinking that she would be more happy in the future, and maybe she would pass every exam when she went back. In her opinion, the children have passed the exam. Very good, you must know that Jia Jing was not as good as Jia Hu's grades back then, but this broke the Jia family's imperial examination records!

Knowing that the No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua led all Jinshi to go on a horseback ride through the streets after thanking the emperor, Jia's family booked a private room early on in the streets passing by. flowering.

The Xie family also booked a private room in the same teahouse. Knowing that the old ladies and wives of the Jia family were here, Mrs. Xie brought her daughter-in-law and daughter over for a visit. Zhang Rui didn't let them go back, so they stayed in the private room of the Jia family. Talking enthusiastically.

The three little girls all knew that this pretty elder sister wearing a veil was the future sister-in-law, and Xie Pingyuan looked at her with big round eyes around her, feeling a little embarrassed.

Jia Xuan is a smart ghost, she turned her eyes and saw that the future sister-in-law had no flowers in her hands, so she passed her flowers, "Sister Yuan, let's throw flowers to my brother later, my brother is so good-looking, there are sure to be many people throwing flowers." Yes, my brother promised to pick up our flowers when he passed by here, and he must be very excited to receive flowers from sister Yuan."

Xie Pingyuan was blushed by Jia Xuan, but he still took the flower and thanked him earnestly, not saying that he actually had a silk flower sewn by her own hands in his sleeve.

Originally getting married right away, she shouldn't come out as a girl-to-be, it's just a happy event for Jinshi among her fiancés, no one would care about such things, so Mrs. Xie brought her daughter here.

Before the ceremonies and ceremonies came, the roadsides were already surrounded by common people, and the beating of gongs and drums was very lively.

Since Xie's family was there, the men of Jia's family went to the private room that was copied from Xie's family. The three of Jia Yu were watching by the window at this time. Seeing a large group of people coming from a distance, they immediately turned around in surprise and said: " I'm coming!"

There is no need for your lady to hold on to such a grand event, not to mention that it is a happy event for her own children. Zhang Rui, Zhang Wang, and Mrs. Xie also came to the window to watch, and Xie Pingyuan was dragged to them by the three girls of the Jia family. edge.

Jia Hu's ranking was fairly high, and when the Imperial Forest Army in front passed by, they could already see Jia Hu's figure, and when they got close, Jia Xuan stretched out the window and shouted at his brother: "Brother Hu! Brother Hu! here!"

When Jia Hu looked over, Jia Yu stretched out her hand and waved her future sister-in-law's hand very discerningly, showing the flowers on her hand to her brother.

When Jia Hu looked up and saw his grandmother, sister, and mother, he couldn't help laughing. He was already good-looking, and when he laughed, many girls beside him screamed, wishing that such a handsome young man was smiling at him.

When he realized who the person behind his sister was, he even curled his lips and stretched out his hand to look straight into her eyes.

Although Xie Pingyuan was shy, when he heard the girls screaming, he still stepped forward, and when Jia Hu got under the window, he threw the flowers down, and there were still silk flowers that she tied up at some time tied on it.

Jia Hu took the flower branch steadily, played with it for a while, then looked back at the girl, then took off the silk flower and stuffed it into her bosom, and put the flower on her head with a smile, while Xie Pingyuan saw his movement, I was a little happy in my heart.

Seeing the actions of this young and handsome Jinshi, the girls around couldn't help but look up, and saw an elegant lady over there, even though she was wearing a veil, she still made people feel a little ashamed, of course, there were also some who boasted that they were not as good as her. Her poor young lady felt a little upset, but nothing could be changed.

Seeing this, the elders looked at each other, and couldn't help smiling at the children. The children were in a good mood, and they were also excited to be elders. Mrs. Xie's family saw that Jia Hu didn't pay much attention to the ladies around her. I only accepted the flowers dropped by my daughter, and I couldn't help being excited.

The mother-in-law thinks the son-in-law is the better, now that Jia Hu has won the Jinshi again at a young age, these days I don't know how many wives say that their family has found a good son-in-law, even the master is not uncomfortable.

Since the elder brother took the flowers from the future sister-in-law, Jia Yu and the little cat decided to throw the remaining two flowers to the little uncle, otherwise everyone else would have flowers, and it would be too pitiful if the little uncle didn't have one.

And Fang Fang quickly received the flowers from his nieces, happily inserted one, and waved at the people on the second floor regardless of his appearance.

Zhang Rui still felt reluctant to see it when Jia Hu had hairpin flowers, but Fang Fang's round, somewhat chubby head had two bright flowers stuck in it, which really made people unbearable to look at him directly, he was not ugly in the first place , but it looks like a bit spicy eyes.

However, Jia Hu didn’t bloom, so Zhang Rui tried hard to recall the demeanor of Zhuangyuanlang and Tanhualang. Even Anyang couldn’t help saying to Jia Zhen after returning: “This year’s Jinshi are really young! I don't know if I'm married or not, I don't know how many people with daughters are thinking about it today!"

Jia Zhen curled her lips in disdain, "It doesn't matter how many people miss you, you are Ronger's mother!"
