From the red building to penetrate the heavens

Chapter 257 Another World 10: Talents

After talking to Liang Han for a while, Jia She took the lead and left Yuqing Temple.

The moment he walked out of the Zen room, Jia She's mental energy expanded, and he saw Aunt Wei sneaking into the Zen room.

Gee, why is this Sheng Minglan not good at learning? Wasn’t the lesson learned last time enough?

Thinking of Minglan's calculations in the plot, Jia She turned around and walked back.

Liang Han saw that the person who pushed the door open was not Yunzai Luzhong but Jia She, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, "What's wrong?" Isn't it? Is it about to be discovered?

Seeing that Liang Han was a little frightened, Jia She quickly reassured him, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry."

After Liang Han felt better, Jia She said: "I just saw Aunt Wei, my sixth sister's aunt, and she was spying on us."

Liang Han was a little confused, "Didn't Minglan say before that Aunt Wei went back? Why is she still in Bianjing?"

Jia She hurriedly told her about the affairs between Coplin Guoshuang and Wei Shuyi, as well as his speculations and suspicions about Wei Shuyi's death.

"So, Minglan is plotting against you and me?"

Due to the interests of title, property, political resources, educational resources, in-law resources, etc., the lord's family is no less dirty than the Sheng family. Just in Yongchang's house alone, Liang Han has seen a lot. Liang Han was very clear about all kinds of underhanded methods. He couldn't figure it out by himself until Jia She explained the key points.

The reason why he still took Chun Ke as his concubine and fell into the trap of the concubine's eldest sister-in-law was because Liang Han didn't care at all.

Liang Han ranks sixth in the family. Even if he is ranked among the first-born brothers, there are still three first-born brothers in front of him. The title belongs to the second brother Liang Hui. After the political and educational resources are divided among the brothers above him, the remaining How much can be left to him; in terms of property, the amount of money given to him is fixed, and no matter how much he behaves, it will not be less. Baozhun is the same as the other two brothers Liang Xuan and Liang Zhao who are not entitled to the title.

As for the resources of in-laws, anyone with a little bit of discernment can see that Liang Han is in an embarrassing situation. They will not be happy to give up a girl to Liang Han. It is a bit too high and too low. Even if Chun Ke is not accepted, the marriage will be difficult. At most, they are found in the families of third- and fourth-rank officials, or they are concubines from high-ranking families who are not favored.

Of course, there is no way to break the situation. As long as Liang Han himself is very good, various resources will naturally become better. But the problem is that Liang Han doesn't have the ability or the ambition, so he simply gets by.

On the left and right, Liang Han can still have a shadow official; with Mrs. Wu's private property subsidies; and with the help of his brothers, he will still be free and comfortable for the rest of his life.

Therefore, when Chun Ke appeared, Liang Han ignored the concubine's sister-in-law and Chun Ke's plan and went with his heart.

"I think it's what you guessed, and this is not the first time she has plotted against me. The last time Mrs. Wu held an elegant gathering..."

Jia She carefully explained the matter of Minglan's punishment, and then said: "That person is not good at learning, and he wants to plot against me. How about we join forces and punish her?"

Hearing that he was trying to tease someone, Liang Han was shocked and asked, "What do you mean?"

Jia She leaned forward, smiled mischievously and whispered his plan.

Returning to Yongchang Bo's Mansion, Jia She took out two silver peanuts from his arms and threw one to Ning Jing and the other to Zhiyuan.

"You two, keep an eye on the sixth girl of the Sheng family, and her aunt, do you know? Also pay more attention to the affairs of the Sheng family, and report back every two days." Ning Jing and Zhiyuan happily accepted the silver peanuts, He responded repeatedly: "I know, don't worry."

In the evening, Jia She was invited to have dinner at Yonghua Hall. After the meal, Mrs. Wu talked about the provincial examination next month. She told Jia She to study harder and used the previous bet to stimulate Jia She.

Because this time there is a candidate Jia She in the Yongchang Mansion, and as the provincial examination approaches, the atmosphere in the mansion becomes more and more tense. The servants all tighten their nerves and work carefully, and everyone who cares about Jia She's future Ask God to worship Buddha and pray devoutly.

Before the official examination, Jia She and Liang Han met in Yuqing.

Likewise, Aunt Wei came uninvited.

Minglan looked a little complicated after reading the letter sent by Aunt Wei. She was happy that Liang Han and Jia She met in private and exchanged ideas in private; she was also disappointed that the meeting between the two was too short and there was no time for anything to happen; she was even more frustrated that she was restricted by Sheng Hong. Without freedom of movement, children cannot go out unless the whole family participates in group activities.

In the tenth month of the golden autumn, the provincial examination was over and the list was released. Jia She won the first place in the middle provincial examination, and for this subject, Yongchang Bo, Mrs. Wu and others were overjoyed and planned a banquet for guests to celebrate.

When the news came out, everyone was shocked.

'Liang Han' was a famous playboy in Bianjing. His reputation was only worse than that of Gu Tingye, the unfilial son who killed his father in legend. He took in an outside wife before marrying and allowed the outside wife to cause trouble in the Yu family. The absurd person is just a little better.

Now, Guibang actually told them that 'Liang Han' was a great talent, so talented that he could win the title of Jieyuan. How could they believe this? How could they dare to believe it?

Could it be that there was fraud in the imperial examination?

As a result, some thoughtful people shouted for censorship, which frightened the examiner of the current subject and hurriedly posted the examination papers of the top three in the provincial examination, trying his best to prove himself.

In order to prevent anyone from having doubts, the examiners believed that posting only the top three papers was not safe enough. Within an hour of posting the top three papers, the examiners also posted all the top 30 papers, trying not to let anyone gossip. , intended to slander.

The examiners felt that they were wronged. The provincial examination required sealing (sealing and affixing the names, place of origin and other records of the candidates on the examination paper, also called "anonymous") and transcribing (copying the examination papers and changing notes). How dare they dare to forge? , even if they dare, the person they want to stand against cannot be someone like 'Liang Han'. They are not out of their minds. They have lived enough and think that their parents and children are not worthy of rich clothes and food.

Fortunately, Jia She's knowledge was irrefutable and could not be adulterated. As soon as the examination paper was released, the stigma about imperial examination fraud was instantly cleared and turned into praise.

At this point, Jia She became a young talent and a man of insight among everyone.

On the day of the banquet at Yongchang's residence, the gongs and drums were noisy, the doors were like a market, and compliments and praises were heard endlessly. Mrs. Wu's face turned sour from laughing.

Old Mrs. Sheng looked at Madam Wu, the centerpiece of the crowd, and then looked at Minglan with a lot of resentment in her eyes.

After receiving the old lady's look, Minglan felt a little guilty and cowardly, and also a little lost.

Four months have passed since she was punished to kneel down in the ancestral hall, and Mrs. Wu has never invited her to a banquet to bring her and 'Liang Han' together, which inevitably makes her a little disappointed.

Minglan knew that the possibility of her and 'Liang Han' was very slim.
