The journey of the heavens by Jia Huan, the salted fish

Chapter 37 The Farmer's Imperial Examination 3
Jia Lang and Jia Jingyi went to the county test, and Jia Dacheng accompanied them.

Jia Chunying was worried about her son, so she closed the shop and went to take care of the two together.

Four people left the house at once, and it became extremely quiet.

Neither Jia Dashi nor Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zhang were in the mood to do anything, and the two girls were also absent-minded about embroidering, almost ruining the works in their hands.

Jia Huan hated the stuffiness at home, and spent most of his time outside playing, only going home when eating and sleeping.

Every time he goes home, he brings back some small prey.

Over the years, he brought back a prey every once in a while, allowing the Jia family to discover his hunting skills.

Everyone in Jia's family: Is this child's talent not in reading, but in hunting?Then there is no need to ask him to read good books!Anyway, there are already two people in the family who can read, so if he doesn't like reading, don't read it!Anyway, this hunting ability can support himself.

Time passed quickly as Jia Huan ran all over the mountain. After more than half a month, the four of Jia Lang went home.

They all had smiles on their faces, which made Jia Dashi feel relieved after seeing them.

"Did you pass the exam?" Jia Dashi asked in a trembling voice.

"Yeah." Jia Dacheng nodded vigorously, "Our Langer won the first place in the test, and Jingyi won the third place in the test."

"Great!" the girls cheered.

Jia Dashi hurriedly said: "Old woman, quickly prepare the incense wax and offerings, I'm going to offer incense to the ancestors."

Lu replied loudly: "I'm going to prepare it now. Qiulian, go and kill the pheasant that Huan'er brought back yesterday, and steam it immediately."

Mrs. Zhang acted immediately: "I'm going to kill the chicken."

Both Jia Lang and Jia Jingyi's eyes lit up: "Is there any pheasant to eat?"

Jia Huan smiled and said from the side: "There are also wild rabbits, I caught them."

Jia Lang praised his younger brother without hesitation: "As expected of my younger brother, amazing."

He gives a thumbs up.

Jia Lang really thought that Jia Huan was a good younger brother. Ever since this younger brother awakened his hunting skills, he would often bring prey home so that they could eat meat to satisfy their cravings.

Such a good brother must be treated well and praised frequently to give the child self-confidence.

It didn't take long for the offering incense wax to be ready. Jia Dashi took his son and grandson to the ancestral grave in Houshan to worship the ancestors.

This let the whole village know that the two brothers of the Jia family had passed the county examination. Everyone was very happy, and they all came to the Jia family to congratulate them.

There are scholars in the village, but it is a good thing to bring glory to the whole village!
Not only that, there are scholars in the village, which can also bring practical benefits to the village.

There is a scholar like Mr. Chen in their village. Every time the county yamen servants come to the village to collect taxes, they dare not raise the tax rate at will.

The other villages are miserable, and they will pay [-]% more than the original tax every time.

The five grandparents returned home and met the guests who came to congratulate them, saying that they would hold a celebration banquet three days later to entertain everyone in the village.

Finally, when all the guests who came to the door had left, they were not idle, and they had to go to Master Chen's house to thank him, the teacher!
Jia Chunying was careful and had thought of this a long time ago, so when she was in the county, she bought some pastries and a bunch of good-quality rice paper.

Jia Huan brought back two pheasants and a rabbit yesterday. Jia Chunying assisted Mrs. Zhang in disposing of the rabbits and pheasants. One of the Master's thanks.

The three gifts added together are also very rich, which shows the sincerity of the Jia family.

Sure enough, Master Chen was very satisfied with this gift, and even more satisfied with the achievements of Jia Lang and Jia Jingyi.

When these two pass the government and college examinations, he will be the teacher of the scholar.

Mrs. Chen happily talked with the two of them until it was almost dark, so he stopped talking and let Jia's family go home.

The Jia family walked briskly back home under the moonlight. Oil lamps were already lit in the house. There were ready-made meals on the table in the main room, including chickens and rabbits, which were very rich.

The women at home greeted their return with smiles, and the atmosphere was warm and happy.

For the next two days, Jia Huan continued to soak in the mountains and forests, and brought back many prey.

There was enough meat to hold a very rich banquet, which made the whole village full of belly. They were very satisfied and praised Jia's family.

The Chu family next door knew that Jia Jingyi was third in the county examination at a young age, and they felt a little regretful.

If Jia Jingyi was still the Chu family, this honor would belong to their Chu family.

He had a good relationship with Chu Wenyao, and wrote to Chu Wenyao in Beijing about Jia Jingyi's imperial examination.

It is not known what Chu Wenyao thought after receiving the letter.

After that, Jia Lang and Jia Jingyi easily passed the government examination and hospital examination.

Jia Lang passed the examination of Xiao Sanyuan and became a well-known genius.

The matchmaker almost leveled the threshold of the Jia family.

But the Jia family rejected the matchmaker's marriage proposal on the grounds that Jia Lang and Jia Jingyi were still young.

The Jia family felt that with the abilities of Jia Lang and Jia Jingyi, it was absolutely possible to be admitted to Jinshi.

Then think about marriage.

They don't want their two children to marry wives casually, and they should help them anyway.

They also don't want what happened to Jia Chunying.

Therefore, it is better not to get married early.

Three years later, Jia Lang and Jia Jingyi were preparing to go to Beijing to take part in the general examination.

The two of them participated in the provincial examination before, and both passed the exam.

Jia Lang is still number one, it's Xie Yuan.

Jia Jingyi's grades are also among the best.

The chief examiner who presided over the township examination admired the two of them very much, saying that with their level, they would definitely be able to pass the general examination next year.

The Jia family was very happy to hear this comment, happily prepared luggage for the two, and sent them to the carriage to the capital.

This time, the two thought that they had grown up and refused Jia Dacheng's follow and care.

In ancient times, fifteen or sixteen years old was considered an adult, so the Jia family felt relieved and let the two of them go to the capital by themselves.

It's just that they didn't expect that the parting this time turned out to be a farewell.

More than a month later, Jia's family received bad news. Jia Lang and Jia Jingyi encountered water bandits on the boat. They were killed by water bandits, and their bodies fell into the river, where they were never found again.

Several members of the Jia family fainted immediately.

Lu Shi, Zhang Shi and Jia Chunying didn't get up after falling down, and Jia Dashi and Jia Dacheng suddenly aged ten years.

Jia Dashi's energy was gone, and the man who used to be nimble was trembling when he walked.

Jia Dacheng silently looked for work.

All the money in the family has been used to buy medicines for several patients. There is no money left, so Jia Dacheng can only work hard to make money.

No one in the Jia family accepts that Jia Lang and Jia Jingyi are dead. They only think that these two people are missing, and they will definitely come back alive!
