From the red building to penetrate the heavens

"Second and fifth, don't waste your strength, use some strength, and teach this naughty boy a lesson." Yongchang Bo commanded.

"Hey, I got it."

Liang Zhao responded and struck twice harder. Jia She had no choice but to surrender.

The quarrel continued for a while, until Jia She begged for mercy again and again and began to cede land and pay compensation, Liang Hui and Liang Zhao were willing to let Jia She go.

When Uncle Yongchang saw that the three people had stopped, he looked at Liang Hui and asked, "Second brother, what do you think is the chance of winning the prize for sixth brother?"

Speaking of business, Liang Hui straightened his posture and expression, and said thoughtfully: "The sixth brother's strategy is meaningful and gorgeous. Although there are some shortcomings in poetry, it is not a big problem, as long as you don't have an extreme liking for poetry." There are at least 70% to 80% of adults."

More than two hours of exams were enough for Liang Hui to understand Jia She and get a rough idea of ​​Jia She's knowledge.

Yongchang Bo stroked his beard and nodded, then asked: "How do you think the sixth man should become an official next?"

Liang Hui understood that Uncle Yongchang was testing himself, so he thought over and over again and said, "Sixth brother is now well-educated, so he shouldn't follow the path of a Yin official, so as not to be criticized by others."

"I remember that my father still has a spot in the shadow prison. How about giving it to the sixth brother? Then the sixth brother can directly participate in the provincial examination in August this year."

Uncle Yongchang looked at Liang Zhao, "Lao Wu, what do you think?"

Liang Zhao hurriedly said: "My child has the same idea as my second brother."

Uncle Yongchang nodded, turned to look at Jia She, "Lao Liu, what do you think?"

Jia She cupped his hands and said, "That's good. I'm sorry for my parents. The second brother and the fifth brother can worry about me."

The next day, after breakfast, Jia She was planning to go to Yuqing Temple, but he didn't expect Uncle Yongchang to move so quickly. Before Jia She could go out, he was called over by Mrs. Wu. It turned out that he was going to the Imperial College to study. The child was settled.

Mrs. Wu looked at her younger son who was getting more and more prosperous, and said happily: "My son is so prosperous, so I have to hire another good girl to match you. The weather is fine during this period, and I will do it in a few days." Let's have a polo club, invite all those good girls over, and let you look at each other."

Jia She said calmly: "Didn't my mother think highly of the sixth girl of the Sheng family? Why, she changed her mind?"

Mrs. Wu glanced at Jia She and said angrily: "Hey! You used to be incompetent in literature and martial arts. You were just doing nothing all day long and didn't look serious. There was Chun Ke in the room. How could I dare to look at you? What a good family, it will be bad if we fail to get married and become enemies instead."

As she said this, Mrs. Wu's smile became deeper and deeper, "Now that my son has become a promising man, how can I be worthy of Miss Sheng Liu, a concubine who is a first- and fifth-rank official? As long as you pass the provincial examination in August, even if there is a pregnant woman in your room, Chun Ke, there are many good families who are willing to marry their girls to you. Not to mention if your results in the provincial examination are among the best."

Seeing that Mrs. Wu was getting happier and happier as she talked, Jia She became more and more uncomfortable. Mother Zhao, who was standing behind Mrs. Wu, noticed something strange and gently pushed Mrs. Wu and winked at her.

Mrs. Wu was suddenly enlightened and asked Jia She, "Why do you look like this? But what's the problem?"

Jia She looked at Mrs. Wu with a look of admiration and said, "Mother, I have taken a liking to Miss Sheng Si."

"boom"

Mrs. Wu slapped her hand on the table at hand and angrily scolded: "You should give up on that idea as soon as possible."

"How many times have I told you that there is no chance for Miss Sheng Si. She is surrounded by monsters and it is annoying to see her. Not to mention good girls from other families, even Miss Sheng Liu cannot be as good as her. "

Jia She retorted: "Mother, you are biased. The fourth girl is obviously the most knowledgeable among Zhuang Xuexue's female students..."

Mrs. Wu didn't want to listen to Jia She's long speech, so she said harshly: "Shut up, don't even think about it. If you dare to mention that foxy girl to me again, I will kick out all the little bitches in your house now." Jia She frowned, this is really a long way to go.

Jia She took Mrs. Wu's hand and said softly: "Mother, how about we make a bet?"

"What do you want to say?" Mrs. Wu waved away Jia She's hand angrily and turned away.

Jia She raised his hands to hold Mrs. Wu's shoulders, turned her back, and said: "If I get the top twenty in this year's provincial examination and the top two in next year's palace examination, you will fulfill my wish. If I If you can’t do it, then I’ll let you do what you want, and I’ll marry whoever you want me to marry?”

Mrs. Wu narrowed her eyes slightly, looking up and down, looking left and right at Jia She.

"So confident?"

Jia She nodded.

When Madam Wu saw that Jia She was so motivated and ambitious just to marry that girl Sheng Si, she couldn't help but doubt her own view of people. Could it be that that girl was really a good person?

After weighing for a long time, Mrs. Wu softened her heart under Jia She's expectant and pleading eyes.

"It's not impossible for me to agree to you, but the conditions must be higher. Top five in the provincial examination, top ten in the general examination, and top ten in the palace examination. If you can do it, I will personally come to the Sheng family to propose marriage to you."

Mother Zhao took a breath, my dear, the demands have been raised so much all of a sudden, and the target is the Sixth Young Master who has never been serious about business.

Even though Jia She performed very well last night, Zhao's mother still didn't think that Jia She could meet such demanding requirements. She thought that Jia She could only get a second-class award at best, and it was difficult to get rid of the inherent impression.

"Okay, I promise you, mother will keep her word."

After finally getting Mrs. Wu to relax, Jia She hurriedly finalized the matter.

Mrs. Wu felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Jia She being so active. She said righteously: "Don't worry, I always keep my word. However, I have to make it clear to you. The top five in the provincial examination and the top ten in the general examination will The top ten in the palace examination are indispensable. If you fail to do any of them, you will lose."

Jia She pretended to be embarrassed and pondered for a while. When Mrs. Wu showed a proud look on her face, she hesitated and nodded in agreement. After that, she complained: "Mother, I am not your biological son anymore. You asked me to do it." Is it so high? A talented person like Erlang of the Sheng family, he only got thirteenth place in the general examination, and only reached the top two in the palace examination. Aren't you trying to embarrass me to death?"

"Humph!"

Madam Wu pushed Jia She away, "The requirements are not high, how can you prove your intention?"

"Okay, don't hang around here, hurry up and hold the Buddha's feet, and see if God can grant you your wish."

Jia She sighed, "Okay, then I will go to Yuqing Temple to worship, burn incense, and ask the Patriarch of Sanqing to grant my wish."

Mrs. Wu narrowed her eyes slightly and said sharply: "Miss Sheng Si didn't go, did she?"

"Mother, where are you thinking? How dare I meet privately with the officials and their wives? They are not the little girls in my courtyard. I can do whatever I want. If I really mess around with them, will I still have a future in the future? Aren’t all the books I’ve read over the years been in vain?”

Mrs. Wu was doubtful, "Really?"

Jia She nodded vigorously, "It's absolutely true."

"alright."
