The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 131 Little Trinity

The autumn rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, hitting the sycamore tree, making a crackling sound, and a layer of sycamore leaves fell in the yard, as if covered with a layer of gold.

Ying'er stood at the window and watched the autumn rain hit the phoenix trees for a while, when a cool wind blew in her face, she suddenly got goosebumps all over her body, and couldn't help shivering: "No wonder it is said that there is an autumn rain and a cold one, when I was at the pier at noon You can also wear unlined clothes, and it will be cool when it rains in the evening, making people numb."

Xue Baochai, who was comparing the bill of goods after the case, raised her head and said, "Since you know it's cold, why are you still standing in the wind? You caught a cold, and you want me, the master, to serve you instead."

"Hey, the maidservant is a rough-and-tumble person, how can she be so fragile, ha--sneeze!" Ying'er sneezed as soon as she finished speaking, quickly closed the window, and put on a tooth-picking vest Just stop.

Xue Baochai laughed and said: "Look at what I said, I insist on being brave, I don't listen to others, I'm at a disadvantage, go and get some ginger syrup to drink."

Ying'er smiled embarrassedly, took out a half-new long gown from the bag, put it on Xue Baochai, and said, "Girl, you should wear more, this rain is really inconvenient, and it is not convenient for you to do things." , the last batch of goods will arrive at the pier tomorrow, if it gets a little wet, it will be troublesome, but it will enter the palace, and it will be expensive."

The Xue family is an imperial merchant, and they took Nei Nu’s money to buy supplies for the palace. Recently, a batch of tributes happened to be transported from Jiangnan to Tongzhou. I had a friendly exchange with my "good friend", but as a result, I was weak due to qi deficiency, cold evil entered my body, and I got a bad cold, and now I am resting in bed at home.

It's fine if it's other goods, but there can't be any mistakes in the things supplied to the palace, so Xue Baochai had no choice but to come to Tongzhou in person.

Hearing the pattering rain on the roof at this moment, Xue Baochai was also a little worried. I hope the rain will stop tomorrow, otherwise it will be a bit troublesome.

Ying'er suddenly said: "Tomorrow is the day when the college examination will release the results. I don't know how Master Huan did in the exam. If he gets the top of the case again, wouldn't he become the little Sanyuan that Miss Yun talked about?"

Xue Baochai was listening to the sound of rain outside the house, and heard the words: "Brother Huan is the leader of Yingtianfu's examination. No matter how good the theory is, he must pass the court examination. Now it's just going through the motions. But Brother Huan's talent and learning , It is inevitable to be among the best, but it may not be easy to get the first case. After all, the strong have their own strong hands, and a mountain is higher than a mountain. In the Chunwei Grand Competition over the years, the Jinshi who were named on the gold list are mostly from the north and south. "

Ying'er laughed and said, "Third Master Huan left to take part in the county examination not long after he started writing. Everyone didn't like it. Unexpectedly, he took the lead directly, and the next government test was the lead again. The maid thought that Huan It would not be surprising for the third master to win the trial case again."

Xue Baochai nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Brother Huan does perform unexpectedly every time. If he can take the lead again this time, it will be a legend. Well, it seems that the rain will not stop for a while, eat early Let's rest for dinner, you are tired after a busy day."

Ying'er heard the news and went to the kitchen to pass the meal. The place where they are staying now is a small courtyard owned by Xue's family in Tongzhou. Xue Pan usually lives here temporarily when he receives goods in Tongzhou, so he arranges for servants to stay behind and eat three meals a day. There is a kitchen available.

The sound of the rain outside the window seemed to be quieter. Xue Baochai came to the window with her clothes on. She opened the window and looked, but saw that the sky in the west was red and the sunset was like fire, but the autumn rain here was still falling. The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, there is no sunshine in the Tao, but there are sunshine, the ancients did not deceive me."

A gust of cool wind was blowing in front of her face, and Xue Baochai, who was wearing a long gown, didn't feel cold, but felt very cool, and her mood was inexplicably relaxed and stable.

A few days ago, the emperor decreed to reduce taxes in Miyun, Huairou, Shunyi, Tongzhou and other areas that suffered from military disasters, so as to make a living for the people.

Xue Baochai went to Beijing this time, participating in the draft is one of the main purposes. Now that the draft has been cancelled, although it is a bit regretful, it is more relieved, as if some kind of bondage has been suddenly released, although it is very tiring to inspect the goods in person these two days , but the mood is down-to-earth and relaxed, just like now!

…………

On the second day, August [-]th, the final results of the entrance examination were about to be released, and the continuous autumn rain was still falling. The weather turns cooler after autumn, but no one dares to talk and laugh in the rain anymore.

Seeing that the time to release the rankings was coming, Liu Shouzheng looked left and right but did not see Jia Huan coming, so he couldn't help but frowned. Could it be that, as rumors said, Jia Huan polluted the test papers in the first round, so he handed in the papers ahead of time?
"Why don't you see Jia's chief?" Zhang Zhilong looked around, obviously thinking the same as Liu Yi.

Gu Liben happened to be standing not far away, and said with a smile: "Zhang Rugui, you don't need to look for it, Jia Huan will definitely not come."

Zhang Zhilong asked in surprise, "Why?"

Gu Liben said gloatingly: "Jia Huan handed in the paper half a day early for the first test, and just passed in front of his seat, clutching his stomach and walking in a hurry, he couldn't even walk steadily, probably because he ate badly and had diarrhea. It’s all in the crotch, so he had to hand in the paper in advance, presumably he himself knew that he didn’t do well in the exam, so he probably wouldn’t come to see the list, so as not to lose face.”

Candidates at Diecui Academy couldn't help but feel sorry for Jia Huan, but also very unhappy with Gu Liben's schadenfreude, especially Zhang Zhilong. Excellent, although the pull collapsed, and finally persisted.

Zhang Zhilong snorted coldly and said: "Gu Xingbang, even if classmate Jia fails the exam unfortunately, the criminal will not be the one to blame, don't take pleasure in this misfortune, the villain will succeed."

Gu Liben sneered and said: "That's not necessarily the case, but you Zhang Rugui, the ranking in the government test is lower than me, how can a defeated general be brave enough to laugh at me?"

Zhang Zhilong was choked immediately, but he was indeed under Gu Liben in the government examination ranking, so there was no way to refute it.

Just at this time, the crowd became commotion, and someone said: "Jia case boss is here, Jia case chief is here, let's make way."

Zhang Zhilong and Liu Shouzheng turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw Jia Huan strolling over with an oiled paper umbrella, wearing a clean boy's straight gown, red lips and white teeth, clear eyes, calm and steady as always, although due to his age, his stature was obvious Short, but has a taste that stands out from the crowd.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhilong said joyfully: "Gu Xingbang, didn't you say that Jia's chief case dare not come to see the list? If you haven't come forward to meet the teacher, when will you wait?"

Gu Liben's face turned red immediately, and before Jia Huan came to him, he sneaked into the crowd and slipped away, which was just asking for fun.

"Chief Jia, over here!"

"Student Jia, come here!"

Seeing Liu Shouzheng and Zhang Zhilong waving from a distance, Jia Huan came over with a smile, and greeted everyone with fists cupped, "It's too late!"

"It's not too late, it's not too late, the list hasn't been published yet." Zhang Zhilong laughed and said, "Just now that guy Gu Liben said that you failed the first test and was afraid of losing face, so he didn't dare to look at the list. But when you came, then The guy slipped away first, and it's just bringing shame on himself."

Jia Huan just smiled lightly when he heard the words, such a demeanor made people even more convinced.A scholar named Xia Shizhen from the Pinnacle Academy couldn't help asking: "I heard that the first part of Jia's case was handed in two hours ahead of schedule. Why is that? It's rumored that you dirty the paper. By the way, Just now Gu Xingbang said that you had a bad stomach and pulled your pants, so you left early."

Jia Huan couldn't help laughing and laughing, he didn't expect that his handing in the paper in advance would cause so many speculations, he smiled and shook his head and said, "Nothing, it's just a fluke that I finished the answer in advance, sitting bored, so I handed in the paper."

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words, not knowing what to say, after a long time, Zhang Zhilong suddenly said: "It's inhuman, you actually finished the paper half a day early, how embarrassing it is for me to wait."

Liu Yi was in a complicated mood, and said with a wry smile, "It seems that classmate Jia is the top case in this court examination."

Zhang Zhilong patted his forehead and said, "By the way, I didn't seem to see the chief case officer Jia at the first case, did you come to see the list? Plus there were rumors that you failed the exam, I was still worried at the time."

Jia Huan smiled and said: "A few days ago, I came to see the first crime. I just came in the afternoon because there were too many people watching the list. There were no people there at that time."

Everyone couldn't help but suddenly asked, "How did Jia get in the first test?"

Jia Huan arched his hands in a low-key way: "Fortunately, we are ranked first!"

It's "lucky" again, and everyone doesn't know what to say, this kid is a monster, he turned in the paper half a day early and got the first place!

Zhang Zhilong couldn't help but lightly punched Jia Huan on the chest and said, "Good guy, I really don't understand how your kid's head grows, it seems that you have a high probability of taking the case of this court exam again. "

In fact, Jia Huan himself was a little surprised that he won the first place in the first game. He estimated that he was in the top ten, but he won the first place directly. It seems that doing the questions on an empty stomach has stimulated his potential, so he performed beyond the standard Well, it's a blessing in disguise, how do you know it's not a blessing?
At this time, the gate of the Gongyuan was opened, and several clerks came out carrying a red list and posted it on the bulletin board. Everyone rushed forward to watch it impatiently.

This time, a total of 100 people were admitted in the hospital examination, which was twice as many as the government examination. However, because there were many people participating in the hospital examination, the admission rate was actually about the same.

Since Jia Huan took the first place in the first round of the hospital exam, and felt that he did well in the second round, and his ranking would never fall out of the top five, so Jia Huan started looking for it directly from the top of the list, and there was no need to look for it at all, because No. The position of 1 is impressively written - Jia Huan.

A wave of ecstasy surged into my heart instantly, Little Sanyuan, it's done!
