Jia Zheng paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, sighing from time to time.
Today is the last political debate in the Autumn Palace Competition. Thinking of this grand occasion is enough to touch him, who has always regarded himself as a scholar.
It's a pity that he never experienced this kind of scene when he was young. If Brother Zhu had been stronger, he might have been able to pass the Qiuwei exam. This made Jia Zheng's eyes wet.
"Baoyu hasn't come yet?" Jia Zheng became more and more anxious, and his voice became shrill, "Where did this evil obstacle go today?"
Li Shi'er had already ordered people to find Baoyu, but there was no one in Baoyu's room. The maids also said that Mr. Bao went to no one knows where he went after taking a nap. Maybe he was in Lixiangyuan, or he went to Miss Lin's place.
"Master, I've already sent someone to look for him." Li Shi'er secretly drummed in his heart. He didn't know why the master was in a bad mood today. If he couldn't find the second master Bao, he would probably have to eat the steak again if he came back late.
.
"Humph, I've been here for half an hour and you still haven't found it? I heard that he and the younger brother of Brother Dongfu Rong's daughter-in-law spend all day together and don't even want to read anymore?" When I thought about this,
Jia Zheng was furious and subconsciously wanted to ask someone to go to the board to prepare it.
He also heard this when he was resting in Aunt Zhao's room. The source should be Brother Huan. However, Jia Zheng did not believe it easily. After asking someone to inquire about it, he called the private school teacher and asked in detail.
Only then did we come to a conclusion.
It's hard to tell if there's anything wrong with it, but it's true that this book is just a quick read.
Seeing that the eldest son of the Feng family has already gone to take the Qiu Wei exam, his own son is enjoying his time. Baoyu is already twelve years old, and the eldest son of the Feng family is about to enter Qingtan Academy at this age.
And what about Baoyu?
Thinking of this, Jia Zheng felt a burst of pain in his liver. Is this gem really not the seed for reading?
Thinking of the teacher saying that Huan Ge'er and Lang Ge'er should study much more seriously, how could Jia Zheng not become more and more dissatisfied with Baoyu's performance and become more and more impatient in comparison.
"Not back yet?" After waiting for another moment, Jia Zheng's face was as frighteningly gloomy as before the storm.
Li Shi'er was already thinking about whether he should ask someone to tell his wife first.
This Baoyu will definitely be beaten when he comes back, or he will be beaten until he can't get out of bed.
The wife will definitely vent her anger on her family in the end. What's more, last month, the wife specially ordered someone to bring some local products to her house. Although they are not worth much, they are still the wife's thoughts. Li Shi'er also knows that this must be partly because of her thoughts.
Let yourself help her keep an eye on the master.
There is no need for anything else. The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the matter of Mr. Bao. This is what Jin Chuaner in the wife's room brought to herself.
Before he could answer, he saw someone flashing outside, and Li Shier hurried out: "But Second Master Bao is back?"
"I haven't returned to Mr. Li yet, but a letter came from the concierge saying that someone from my uncle's house has come, and he asked the second master to go and talk to him."
Hearing this, Li Shier felt relieved. He finally found a way. Now it was better. He hurried into the house: "Master, there is a message from my uncle, please come over to the house immediately."
"Oh?" Jia Zheng was also stunned. My brother-in-law is back? Didn't you say he went to Xuanfu Town? After my brother-in-law became the governor of Xuanda, he basically traveled outside Beijing. The three towns of Shanxi, Datong and Xuanfu were
Naturally, we dare not ignore the most important place to protect the capital. Why did we come back at this time and find ourselves?
"What's the matter?" Jia Zheng nodded, Li Shi'er had already called the maid to come and change the master's clothes quickly, but his words were not lost, "I'm afraid there is something important, so I have to invite the master at this time.
Go as early as possible."
Jia Zheng was originally a person who didn't have much idea, so he believed what he said, and hurriedly asked the maid to change clothes, "Then Master, if Second Master Bao comes back..."
"Let me send you this meal. If it happens like this next time, the old accounts and the new accounts will be settled together!" He was very angry, but he had no choice. When he came back, he was afraid that Baoyu would have got the news and went to his mother to hide from the disaster.
Already.
On the way to Bingbuwa Heng Street, Jia Zheng could see many scholars and students talking happily in twos and threes. Some people were dejected, and more people were restless. Everyone had to wait until twenty days later.
The results will be released to reveal the final fate of the autumn competition in this subject.
Thinking of the three people in his house, if Baoyu really couldn't read, he might have to spend more time on Brother Huan and Brother Lang.
Needless to say, Brother Lang, but if Brother Huan is really good at studying, then by comparing the two, wouldn’t Baoyu become a golden jade with a lot of crumbs on the outside? I don’t know if Baoyu will also be affected by such a comparison.
Stimulate, and then work hard to become stronger?
All kinds of complicated thoughts have been lingering in Jia Zheng's mind, making this trip to the palace particularly difficult.
As soon as he entered Wang Ziteng's study, he saw Wang Ziteng looking at something attentively.
"Second brother."
"Cunzhou is here, take a seat." Wang Zitenghei lost a lot of weight, but his aura became more powerful and sharp, "I originally wanted to talk to you about the three girls in your family, but I'm afraid I can't do that now."
"Oh?" Jia Zheng was stunned and didn't react. He said about the girl? Is it Feng Ziying?
"In the past few months, people have also inquired. The Feng family's intention is to wait until the Feng family's elder brother Jinke Qiu Wei. In addition, I also asked and said that the Feng family's elder brother is indeed not good at classics. If he can study for another three years,
This Qiu Wei is more certain, so I thought that if the Feng family's elder brother fails to win this Qiu Wei, Cunzhou can ask someone to send a message to see if the two families can get married, but now it seems..."
Wang Ziteng's words made Jia Zheng a little confused. Why did Wang Ziteng think that the Feng family's elder brother could pass the exam after the exam was just finished today?
As if aware of Jia Zheng's doubts, Wang Ziteng handed the paper in his hand to him.
Jia Zheng took a look and said, "A brief discussion on the government's response strategy after the disaster in the North."
He immediately understood that this should be a question for the current Shuntian Prefecture Qiu Wei Policy Examination.
"Cunzhou, do you understand?" The prince breathed a sigh of relief, "There was a severe flood in the capital last month. In previous years, there would definitely be epidemics after floods, but although there was one this summer, the situation was much better. It is said that it was due to the Qing Dynasty.
Tan Academy’s early warning and an “Epidemic Prevention Preparation” written by Tan Academy, and the policy examination questions of this subject in Beizhili are based on this. I am thinking that Qing Tan Academy will take this exam in such an exam.
Take advantage of everything."
Jia Zheng finally understood. My brother-in-law may think that such a policy topic is familiar to the students of Qingtan Academy, so the Feng family will definitely get good results.
However, once Qiuwei passes and he becomes a civil servant, the Feng family will probably be very concerned about Tanchun's commoner background.
To be honest, Jia Zheng didn't care too much about this before. He felt that even though the Feng family was studying at Qingtan Academy, given his age and foundation, he was afraid that he would have little chance of success in this subject. There might be some in the next subject.
I hoped that there would be two or three years left to slowly plan this matter, but I didn't expect that the situation would become like this.
"Second brother, in this Autumn Palace Competition, there are more than 4,500 people in Beizhili, and only more than 100 people are selected. Even if the Feng family elders want to take advantage of this, I think I may not be able to speak Chinese style lightly.
?”
"I hope so." Wang Ziteng sighed. Jia Zheng's words are not wrong. No one in Qiu Wei or Chun Wei dares to say that he is absolutely sure. Some scholars with a good reputation before the exam have also failed.
Not to mention Feng Ziying, who only studied at Qingtan Academy for two years.
"If it is known that the eldest son of the Feng family has not passed away, then Cunzhou can ask someone to inquire about the Feng family's intentions. It would be best if the two families can get married. I will also go to Xinyulin to see Feng.
What Tang means is..."
Wang Ziteng always felt that it would be a pity if Feng Ziying could not win over. The fact that the three girls from the Jia family were concubines was indeed a big obstacle. Even if Feng Ziying had not passed Qiu Wei, she might not be able to do it. If not, then she could try the Xue family girl.
It's just that the identity of the Xue family makes people a little short of breath, and the sister's legitimate son is a careless one. If the Feng family knew about it, I'm afraid it would be a problem.
Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng really feels that no one can be as good as he wants in every aspect, which is a pity for the eldest daughter of the Jia family.
*****
When Feng Ziying woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
He was carried back, and he felt more and more that after coming to this time and space, he seemed to have completely changed into the real Feng Ziying after drinking.
Whether it’s rice wine or shochu, the amount I consume has dropped sharply.
My head was still a little dizzy, but as soon as I turned over, I heard rapid footsteps coming in from outside, "Master, are you awake?"
"Well, how long has it been?" Feng Ziying held her forehead, still feeling pain and swelling.
I couldn't remember how many bowls of honey water Yun Shang fed me last night. Fortunately, I still insisted on Yun Shang. Thinking about it, if Ruixiang or Baoxiang came to feed me honey water, it would really be a pain on my back.
I feel sick of the cold, and I'm really afraid that I'm going to vomit before I drink the honey water.
"It's almost noon." There was a hint of worry on Yun Shang's pretty face, but when she saw Feng Ziying squinting her eyes as if observing the sunshine outside the window, she added: "It's still a bit sunny, and the young master's classmates are all resting in the hostel.
Previously, a classmate came to leave a message, saying that they were going back to the academy first, and some students might have to go home first."
It takes twenty days from the beginning of the exam to the announcement of the results, which means you have to wait until the end of August to see whether you are Chinese or not.
For example, those who are close to each other can go home, wait until the time is almost up, and then come back to wait. Of course, more people still prefer to wait in temples, hotels and academies. This has not achieved a clear result. Many people do not dare to go back.
