I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 62 Good wind relies on strength
Jia Cong guessed that this girl had been holding it in for a long time today and had wanted to tell him about this matter for a long time, but she had been holding it in until now and finally found the opportunity.

Jia Cong couldn't help but smile and asked, "Hongxiu, what new thing happened ahead?"

Hong Xiu said in amazement, "Third Master, you don't know that Xiren is the most favored maid in Baoyu's room. Who in the front yard doesn't praise her?"

"But today, for some unknown reason, Baoyu kicked her in the heart for a very small matter, and then he insisted on driving her out of the house."

"I heard that Xiren and the maids in the room all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but Baoyu just wouldn't give in."

"Later, even the Second Wife and the Old Ancestor were alarmed, but no matter who tried to persuade them, it was useless. Baoyu was determined not to want Xiren anymore."

"When I asked him the reason, he didn't tell me. He just said that Xiren was old and wanted to leave. He would never keep her."

"In the end, the old lady had no choice but to take Xiren back."

"Third Master, Baoyu is really a fool. Sister Xiren is such a nice person, but Baoyu just chased her out!"

"How could Baoyu be like this? It's a shame that Sister Xiren served him so loyally."

After hearing this, Jia Cong couldn't help but smile.

Speaking of which, Xiren was really a very successful person.

In the entire Rongguo Mansion, from the old lady to Mrs. Wang and the maids and old women, almost everyone remembered her kindness.

To achieve this is not an easy task.

Not to mention others, even Hongxiu spoke up for her and stood up for her.

What Hongxiu didn't know was that the last time he almost got beaten was because Xiren had reported him for something bad.

However, it is better not to tell her about this, as this little girl is very naive.

If I tell her, she might spread it without realizing it, which would be bad.

It seems that Jia Baoyu finally realized that the person at the flower banquet was Hua Xiren.

Although Jia Baoyu himself is a scumbag and a playboy, he absolutely cannot tolerate a woman who would betray him staying by his side.

Therefore, he kicked her out without hesitation.

At this point, the threat posed by Xiren has been temporarily resolved.

Having been chased away by Jia Baoyu, she would think twice before secretly making accusations again.

Once you are chased away, there will always be a stain on your body.

……

The next day, when Jia Cong arrived at the academy, Jia Dairu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Cong, are you preparing for the Tongsheng exam next year?"

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Yes, Master, I want to go and see it next year."

Jia Dairu couldn't help but say, "You are still a little impatient. After all, you have been studying for too short a time. But I also know your situation. It's better to take the exam a year earlier."

"You have made rapid progress in the past two months, and you will have a good chance of passing the exam. You don't have to worry about registration and recommendation. I will help you with it."

Jia Cong couldn't help but say: "Thank you for your hard work for me, Master. I will definitely remember your great kindness in my heart."

Jia Dairu waved his hand and said, "You are not only the most talented student I have met in all these years."

"You are also the seed of learning in my Jia family. As long as you can pass the examination and become a scholar next year, it will be the best reward for me!"

"Starting tomorrow, I will simulate the examination format for the Tongsheng exam and give you some questions."

"It will also allow you to familiarize yourself with the format of the Tongsheng exam in advance."

Hearing this, Jia Cong was really moved.

Although Jia Dairu did this mostly out of clan ideology, it was actually good for him.

Jia Cong couldn't help but stand up and bow deeply to Jia Dairu.

……

Starting from the second day, Jia Dairu really began to simulate the scope of questions in the county examination, the first stage of the Tongsheng examination, and began to make questions for Jia Cong.

After Jia Cong finished answering, he graded the paper and helped him analyze the pros and cons.

Through such mock exams, Jia Cong felt that his experience in the Four Books and Five Classics and Eight-legged Essay was growing faster than usual.

Time is like water, passing away like this.

Before we knew it, the year was getting closer and closer and the school had its New Year holiday.

Jia Dairu repeatedly reminded Jia Cong not to slack off at home and to study hard.

After returning home, Jia Cong naturally did not slack off and continued to work hard to improve his attributes.

That night, after Jia Cong finished practicing Ba Duan Jin, he suddenly gained a lot of insights. At the same time, a warm current was generated from his blood and qi, and then dissipated into his bones and flesh, making his whole body warm and comfortable.

Ba Duan Jin, I should be promoted!

When he opened the proficiency panel, it was just as he expected.

Ba Duan Jin advanced to the next level, and physical fitness increased by two points again.

At this point, his physique has surpassed that of an ordinary adult man.

After this period of unremitting efforts, he has reaped considerable rewards.

If one has achieved some success in the Four Books and Five Classics, he may not be able to cope with the provincial and metropolitan examinations, but he will be more than capable of coping with the examinations for students of higher learning.

Other items have also been improved.

This made Jia Cong quite satisfied.

Before we know it, the New Year is almost here!

In fact, it has only been a few months, less than half a year, since he traveled through time.

But Jia Cong felt as if he had traveled through time many years ago.

After the New Year, the county examination will be held in February.

As long as one can pass the subsequent provincial examination and academy examination, one can obtain the title of scholar.

With fame and honor under his belt, he finally had some ability to protect himself, instead of being at the mercy of others like he is now.

Now there are only a dozen days left until the Chinese New Year.

It’s less than March until next year’s county exam.

This made Jia Cong feel a sense of urgency.

Time waits not for us!
We must hurry up and improve our attributes!

Next, Jia Cong worked even harder to improve his attributes.

It's a little crazier than before.

This made Aunt Mei very worried, and she tried to persuade him many times.

However, seeing that Jia Cong did not seem to have lost weight, and was even stronger, he had no choice but to give up.

One day, when Jia Cong was standing in meditation and reading, Hongxiu walked in with five books in her hand, smiling.

"Third Master, this is the book that Sister Zijuan sent. She didn't come into the room because she said she didn't want to disturb Third Master's study."

Jia Cong took them curiously and took a look. He found that these five books were all medical books.

Huh?
Didn’t he tell Lin Daiyu last time not to buy medical books for him anymore?

Why did you buy it again this time, and five books at once?
