Chapter 220 Five Township Examination ([-])

It was the third quarter of application time, and the candidates were lucky this time because the sky was fine and it didn’t get dark. The examination room stipulated that three small candles would be given to those who hadn’t transcribed the main papers before dark, which could probably support them. After one and a half hours, the three candles were burned out, and those who hadn't finished writing would be forcibly sent out by the battalion soldiers. If it was still rainy, they would be sent out at least half an hour in advance.

Jia Baoyu only packed up the test basket, and left the rest here. There are two more exams to take. I learned from the battalion that he was the second to hand in the test paper, and Zhang Yuan was the first, carrying the test basket. After leaving the dormitory, send them to the collection office on the east side of the supervisory examination hall. There is a paper receiving officer responsible for collecting the papers. Next to it is the sealing officer, who immediately names and numbers Jia Baoyu's test papers. According to the sequence of the scriptures, it was sent to the transcription officer. There were thousands of transcriptionists there, all of whom were temporarily recruited clerks from various states and counties and students who were not qualified to take the provincial examination in the third and fourth grades of the scientific examination. The examinee's ink scroll was transcribed with a red pen, and it was still numbered after proofreading. The re-transcribed ink scroll was sent to each room for the examiner to review, in order to prevent the examiner from recognizing the handwriting as a joint, but it is not good whether it is effective or not. In conclusion, don't you hear that the Tao is one foot tall, and the devil is one foot high.

There were a lot of candidates handing in papers back and forth, but people cared about Jia Baoyu. Based on Jia Baoyu's understanding of Lin Xuan, he would definitely hand in the papers only when the soldiers urged him at the end. He was the most careful kind of person. [

Striding out of Yumen, he was in a very comfortable mood. Jia Baoyu was extremely confident in the first seven pieces of art making, and felt that the light in front of him was much more comfortable. The sky was already dark, but it was bright when he came out. Countless lanterns are being held. Except for supervisors, those who can take the exam are either scholars or Gongsheng. Xiucai are considered high-end talents. Most of the servants in any family are wealthy, not to mention This Shuntian Mansion is full of dignitaries.

"Second Lord." Mingyan and the others squeezed over from a distance. Mingyan and the others were not afraid of finding a good place because they were so numerous. They saw Jia Baoyu immediately, and Mingyan took the test basket in his hand. Jia Baoyu, who was drinking tea, remembered that the red building he saw probably only took the exam for one day, but Jia Baoyu's exam was the same as the previous rules, maybe Cao Gong lived in a different era!I also thought about the last half of it not being written by Mr. Cao, but I should care about it, and so on.

"How did Baoyu do in the exam?" Zhang Yuan was not far from Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu made a statement: "When I came out, I saw that Brother Zhang's dormitory was empty, so we know that Brother Zhang has a plan in mind."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "There is no such thing as a well-thought-out thing." The two then started a discussion. Zhang Yuan was full of praise for Jia Baoyu's breakthrough, but Jia Baoyu admired Zhang Yuan's literary thinking even more. The current self is indeed incomparable. of.

Jia Baoyu waited for a while and saw that Lin Xuan and Ning Que didn't intend to come out, so Ming Yan and Ning Que's boy said something and went back. The family members are still waiting for news, so they can't be kept waiting for too long.

Back to Rong Mansion in the carriage, the whole family had been looking forward to it for a long time, everyone was looking forward to it, but someone asked Jia Baoyu how the exam was, for fear that it would affect Jia Baoyu's future performance, Jia Baoyu said so well , went back to the house to take a bath, the smell in the tribute courtyard was not good.

A table of delicious dishes had been prepared in the yard, and Jia Mu also ate here. These days, Jia Baoyu was the most important point, and even Jia Mu gave way in various ways, for fear that something would affect Jia Baoyu. Seeing this situation, Jia Baoyu liked it very much, but he didn't want his family to talk about the content of the exam because he was too cautious.

It was the first time in Jia Zheng's life that he ate at Jia Baoyu's place. After listening to Jia Baoyu's answer to the question, he was silent for a long time and then spit out two good words. It can be seen that he was extremely satisfied. The article only praised, not belittled at all. Hearing that Jia Baoyu accepted his own opinion and revised the original text used in Jia Baoyu's piece, he was even more happy.

It's the same when you are full of warmth, thinking about lust, desire, and when you are in a good mood. Jia Baoyu's desire is high but he is patient. Instead of being unhappy now, it is better to really have a good time after the exam.

The second match is on August [-]th, there are two days of rest, Jia Baoyu is not afraid of being disturbed, these days it is rare to see birds flying in the sky in his own yard, if necessary, no one will come nearby Walking around, people in the yard also do things lightly. Jia Baoyu didn't like this in the past, but now it is necessary.

These few days are not a big event, but there is a routine family banquet, which was ordered by Jia Zheng in the past, and all the immediate family members of the Rongguo Mansion's second house will attend. Of course, it is just Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu, and Jia Huan. , Jia Lan, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhou, and Tanchun, but in the past, it was something Jia Baoyu could not avoid, because a family banquet was just Jia Zheng's criticism of Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu was highly praised last year, but he won't go this year. It would disrupt Jia Baoyu's review plan. Jia Zheng knew this, so he told Jia Baoyu that he didn't need to attend.

Because Jia Baoyu never went, such a family banquet turned out to be extremely boring, so many people realized that Jia Baoyu was the protagonist of all the family banquets in previous years.

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Huan without even thinking about it. If Jia Baoyu was several times better than Jia Huan in the past, then Jia Baoyu is not comparable to Jia Huan at all. How could such two people be the same? As for his son, Jia Zheng sighed in his heart.

In the past, in order to prevent Jia Baoyu from escaping, Jia Zheng would not allow people to leave the meeting early, so this time he was not interested, so he simply asked about Jia Lan's homework, where and how did Jia Lan call Jia Baoyu? All the teachers answered one by one, and Jia Zheng was even more happy to see him.

Sighing: "It would be better if Zhu'er was here." But this time there is no sadness like before, and I have the idea that it is good to have Baoyu in my heart, but this is a change in form.

Jia Lan has no impression of Jia Zhu. In his memory, Jia Zhu is just an ideal father. Compared with him, he and Jia Baoyu have a deeper relationship. Li Wan's first feeling after hearing this is that he is not used to it. After more than ten years of Shangxin, a figure flashed in his heart, as if he had just met the uncle.

Aunt Zhou has no heirs, and she doesn't care about anything. Jia Zheng accuses anyone and praises anyone. Popularity is also possible. [

But Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan were full of resentment, even if Jia Baoyu was gone, she stole the limelight, Aunt Zhao was dissatisfied and said, "Baoyu is true, and I won't come to this banquet."

When Aunt Zhao said this, she wanted to reprimand Jia Zheng, but Tanchun was the first to speak, "What is Auntie talking about? Brother Bao is preparing for the provincial examination these days. How important is this? Brother Huan and Laner may not come if they participate, the master and wife have never said anything, but my aunt talks a lot."

Tanchun's words are somewhat for himself, he doesn't want to let himself be troubled by Aunt Zhao, but he also has thoughts for Aunt Zhao, after all, she is her biological mother, and she has to say it anyway if she does something stupid, Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for Jia Zheng to talk to Mrs. Wang.

Tanchun is well intentioned, but Aunt Zhao is not willing to accept it. If it is said that the person Aunt Zhao is afraid of in this mansion is Jiamu, Mrs. Wang is the second, and this is Tanchun, Tanchun has never been given to her. If you don't save face, you will be afraid after a long time, it's that simple.

But today, Aunt Zhao is really angry. She said that Jia Baoyu's own parents have not spoken yet, and her own daughter is standing out for others. It didn't make Aunt Zhao feel angry, "What are you talking about, girl?" If you say so, will the family banquet be delayed? Besides, what the girl said is too positive, and I don’t usually see girls like this.” The implication was that Tanchun flattered Mrs. Wang.

When Tanchun heard this, she was ashamed, angry and fussy. Her heart was thinking of Mrs. Wang, because compared to Aunt Zhao who gave birth to her, Mrs. Wang had only fulfilled her duty as a mother to Tanchun, and Aunt Zhao only wanted to give birth to her. I will cause trouble for myself, but I am being said so when I am kind. At this time, in front of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, if Tanchun went to other places, he would have already quarreled with Aunt Zhao, thinking that his biological mother is actually this Such a stupid and ignorant person, thinking of herself because of her unembarrassing status, Tanchun burst into tears.

Li Wan quickly comforted her, and Mrs. Wang was rarely angry. She really loved Tanchun, but she really hated her so much. Aunt Zhao sometimes didn't know how to treat Tanchun. Spring is neither cold nor cold, just now Aunt Zhao said that Mrs. Wang was angry when she said that Jia Baoyu was right or wrong, and this made Tanchun cry again. Mrs. Wang looked quite angry.

"What on earth do you want to say? Baoyu's preparation for the exam is hindering you, and the relationship between Sanya and her elder brother Bao is also hindering you. I think you wish that the people in this family will look like enemies when they meet. After so many years Not only did I not see you grow a little bit, but the more you lived, the more you regressed."

When Mrs. Wang got angry, Jia Huan was too frightened to say anything. Aunt Zhao wanted to fight back but stopped. Sometimes kind people are not merciful. She never offended Mrs. Wang by being that cowardly turtle. Since Jia Zhu passed away, Mrs. Wang's temperament has become much weaker, and she no longer cares about big and small matters.

And Aunt Zhao has been a little proud since she had Jia Zhu, and she feels that the thick quilt has something to rely on. She did one or two excessive things and did not see Mrs. Wang answering her, so she became angry, but he was still afraid of Mrs. Wang.

Jia Zheng shook his head. This pair of mother and son was his greatest humiliation, and he was a little reluctant to even pay attention to it. Fortunately, there are still Baoyu and Tanchun!
