Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 9 Calculation
  Although Jia Qiang's predecessor did not study very hard, he was still smart. He had passed the Tongsheng Examination and was qualified to participate in the next Scholar Examination.

I have to thank the Jia Mansion here. Today, the Jia Mansion is not in too much decline.

Jia Dairu, the private school teacher in the Jia family, has not yet reached a state where he has no energy at all, and he is still caring about the children in the private school.

The young masters of the Jia family have many advantages. Among them, as long as the young masters of the Jia family have passed the Tongsheng Examination, the private school will help them go through the procedures for participating in the Scholar Examination.

The scholar examination is also the academy examination. Don't underestimate the procedures for participating in the academy examination. It is very troublesome. It requires a scholar as a guarantee, there are quotas, etc.

With the power of the Jia family, these are not problems.

It's just that even if the Jia family has achieved this step, there are still few young masters from the Jia family who can pass the examination.

Even many young masters will not take the academy examination. They are very clear about their own level, and it is almost impossible to become a scholar.

With my own level, I have no confidence in taking the college examination.

But it's different now. Due to the fusion of souls, all the books he has read and the courses he has taken are imprinted in his mind.

If there was not even a 1% chance of taking the college entrance examination at the original level, then now there is at least a 50% chance.

The college examination starts on April 10th, and he still has almost a month to prepare.

I remember that Jia Mu said that this was the residence where Jia Jing lived when he was studying. All the books and materials that Jia Jing used when he was a Jinshi are here. This is also the future hope that Jia Mu secured for Jia Qiang.

Thinking of this, Jia Qiang came to the study.

This place has been cleaned and there is no dust.

He looked through the books one after another. The books on the bookshelf were all poems and songs from the Four Books and Five Classics, but there was no miscellaneous book.

Based on the eight-part essay writing method in his memory, he found the corresponding books and materials. For any paragraph of text in the Four Books and Five Classics, you can find examples of topic-breaking writing in the materials here.

"How could the Jia family let such things be left in other courtyards without being cared about?" Jia Qiang muttered to herself involuntarily.

As long as you study these books and materials seriously, you can at least be a scholar.

As for being a successful Jinshi, just look at Jia Jing and you will know that it is entirely possible.

But this exam manual is left here to gather dust.

No wonder the Jia family will fall apart ten years later. The legacy left by their predecessors is ignored and the wealth left by their predecessors is squandered.

"You've given me an advantage!" Jia Qiang was in a good mood.

He picked up a book and Jade walked in.

"Master, it's dark, so be careful with your eyes!" Jade said as she lit a candle for Jia Qiang.

There were two types of lighting in this era, one was oil lamps and the other was candles.

Oil lamps are the most economical and cheapest, and they are also the lighting method used by most people.

It's just that the light of the oil lamp is dim and can easily hurt your eyes.

Candles are much better, especially the candles stored here, which are one foot tall and have thick wicks, and are very bright.

Like the masters in Jia's house, they usually light several tall candles for lighting at night.

Jia Qiang nodded. He also knew to pay attention to protecting his eyes. If his eyes were really hurt, there was no treatment in this era.

He just doesn't know if the healing technique is useful in treating myopia. If he doesn't want to expose the healing technique, there is a high probability that he will not have the opportunity to test it.

Jade did not disturb Jia Qiang, and her eyes looked at Jia Qiang softer.

Jia Qiang's ability to study seriously gave her hope.

Now she can only follow Jia Qiang. Whether she will live a comfortable life or a hard life depends on how Jia Qiang develops in the future.

She doesn't even ask Jia Qiang to become a scholar. As long as she becomes a scholar, she won't be in vain in the future.

Jia Qiang discovered the benefits of 20 points of spirit. Although he could not achieve the legendary photographic memory, he could memorize a piece of content as long as he read it twice.

He looked at the books and materials. There was no shortcut to eight-legged essay, and he had no teacher to guide him.

He doesn't plan to go to Jia's private school, not only because he left Jia's family, but also because the teaching in Jia's private school is too slow, and Jia Dairu's level is enough to teach a child, but if he wants to be a scholar, , Jia Dairu was unable to do anything. He made a plan for the next month, which was to stay at home and study hard.

Even when it came to visiting the rouge shop, he was prepared to wait until the hospital exam was over.

The first day Jia Qiang came to this world, she ended up reading the book at night.

He is not a real twelve-year-old who loves to play. After clarifying his goals and still having the ability, he has enough self-control to seize all the time to study.

Jade and Lao Shuntou did not disturb Jia Qiang's study. The more accomplished Jia Qiang was, the better for them.

It wasn't until Jia Qiang finished studying that Feicui brought the hot water that had been prepared long ago to help Jia Qiang wash up.

  In the You family courtyard of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen was lying on the bed in a weird posture, with his legs spread apart.

His lower body was covered with a blanket. Since he was forcibly chased to Rongokuin with his injured body, his injuries have worsened since he came back.

The doctor was called again, and they applied medicine and acupuncture. It cost a lot of money, but the injury did not improve much.

According to the doctor, this injury needs to be recuperated slowly.

Jia Zhen has been bedridden every day these days, but she has no time to trouble Jia Qiang.

He will not let Jia Qiang go, but thinks that after he recovers, he will slowly cook Jia Qiang. There is also a reason for Jia Qiang's reasons. At least he can't cause trouble for Jia Qiang in a short time. Jia Mu needs to be taken into consideration. face.

As time goes by, Jia Mu pays less attention to Jia Qiang, and it will not be too late to take action at that time.

Regarding Jia Qiang's matter, there were not many people in Rongxi Hall at that time. The only people who really knew the whole story were a few people in Ningguo Mansion and a few people around Jia Mu in Rongxi Hall.

Qu'er was beaten to death. With Jia Zhen's power in Ningguo Mansion, no one in Ningguo Mansion would dare to say anything.

Several of the ladies and maids involved in Rongxi Hall were warned by Jia Mu, and they also did not dare to go against Jia Mu's wishes on such matters.

Jia Qiang herself did not attract much attention in the two mansions. Only the classmates in Jia's private school were curious for a few days, and then they forgot about Jia Qiang.

Another important reason is that what happened in the Ningguo Mansion about Jia Qiang was covered up by bigger things. The bank vault of the Ningguo Mansion was emptied. These things not only spread in the Jia Mansion, but also spread outside.

The dignified lord's house was robbed, and it was a big thief. It made the other lords ashamed and made the civil servants laugh.

Some civil servants even wrote to the emperor, asking how such a noble lord could retire with the country.

The emperor directed the Five Cities Military and Horse Department to solve the case within a time limit, and the other lords stepped in one after another, hoping to catch the thief as soon as possible and save the lords' dignity as much as possible.

With the intervention of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, the servants in the mansion were investigated one by one, but Yinzi seemed to have wings, and there was no news at all.

"My money!" Jia Zhen thought of the bank and said to herself distressedly.

These days, the pain in his lower body and the heartache of losing money made him very haggard.

If he hadn't borrowed some money from Rongguo Mansion, I'm afraid Ningguo Mansion wouldn't be able to survive.

He became even more upset when he thought that the Jia Qiang who had been given out had two thousand taels of silver, and the cash in his hand was even more than his own.

"Sir, our ancestors arranged for Jia Qiang to live in that courtyard, probably thinking that Jia Qiang would study hard in the future. I asked someone to find out from Lao Shuntou that Jia Qiang was studying hard and wanted to take the college examination!" the housekeeper! Lai Sheng walked gently to Jia Zhen's side and whispered the report.

"So that little beast is preparing to take the next college examination?" Jia Zhen asked with a look of resentment in her eyes after hearing the report.

"80% sure!" Butler Lai Sheng nodded and replied.

"If you want to use the money I gave you to participate in the college examination, find someone to remove the little beast's registration qualification and see how he can participate in the college examination!" Jia Zhen ordered in a deep voice.

The Jia family's private school was supported by the family, and the money actually came from the two families. The other branches didn't have much money. This was also a benefit that the Ningrong and Rong families brought to the entire Jia family.

Jia Zhen, as the source of the money and the patriarch of the clan, was clear about the fact that the direct young masters who passed the childbirth examination in the private school would apply for the college examination. This was something he proposed after becoming the clan leader. How could he bear to let Jia Qiang occupy this big family? Cheap.

"Master, there is actually a better way." Butler Lai Sheng looked at Youshi and said softly.

"You go out first!" Jia Zhen pointed at Youshi and said.

Youshi was self-righteous, and she didn't have any other expressions because of this, but there was worry in her eyes when she left.

Although Jia Qiang is not taken seriously in the mansion, she has been with her since she was a child in the mansion, and she still has some feelings for her.
