Volume B Chapter 165 A Different Road (Updated from yesterday!)
Feng Ziying stopped the other party's conversation with a gesture of cutting through the knot quickly, without giving the other party any chance to continue. Feng Ziying called Zhao'er to come over quickly.
Feng Ziying actually realized that she might have been deceived by the other party, but she was unwilling to take the risk and it was not worth it, so she would rather take on the trouble first and then think of other ways to solve it.
Judging from the current situation, Qin Keqing's life experience is indeed a bit weird and mysterious. It can also be seen from the confidence of the people behind her. I am afraid that the secret of her life experience should not be a secret at a certain level and within a certain range. At least many people know it, but
It is absolutely a secret to the outside world.
How to find out and understand it requires some effort, but maybe those experts in red science in the previous life were able to find some clues by mistake, so you might as well follow this idea to understand it.
As for Qin Keqing, it is enough to give her hope.
Didn't she give up on herself because she had no hope? Now that she has "climbed" onto a seemingly reliable "pillar" like herself, she can at least let her settle down for a while. Let's wait until she passes the Chunwei exam.
On the other hand, Zhao'er looked at him a little strangely.
After all, Grandma Xiao Rong is known for her cold temperament. She usually lives alone in the Ningguo Mansion. It is rare for anyone to see her smiling face, which means that Grandma Lian can have some words with her.
But today, he took the initiative to find Uncle Feng, which was so surprising.
Feng Ziying didn't bother to explain, she said to these guys that she had lost her identity.
Of course, he also warned Qin Keqing before leaving. If anyone asked, he would say that he came to inquire about his brother Qin Zhong's affairs. This can be regarded as an excellent excuse.
Originally, Feng Ziying also wanted to visit Lin Yatou, but under such circumstances, he really couldn't find a suitable reason to visit her. If he really wanted to do this, he was afraid that gossip would come out in the Jia family.
Lin Yatou is about to be eleven years old. It goes without saying that this age was in her previous life, but at this age where people can talk about marriage at the age of fourteen, she is basically equivalent to a fifteen or sixteen year old girl in her previous life.
Well, given the current fashion, it is not suitable for a young man like me to visit anymore.
Putting aside this idea, Feng Ziying went straight out of the Jia Mansion's corner gate.
Ruixiang was waiting on the carriage as usual, but before he got on the carriage, another figure came out.
Feng Ziying was also happy when she saw the figure coming out. It seemed that everyone in the Jia family was watching her whereabouts, and she had really become a celebrity in the Jia family.
"Jia Huan has met Brother Feng." He gave a very formal salute. The thin but energetic Jia Huan had grown up a lot compared to the last time they met, except that his face was missing compared to Jia Baoyu's big face.
Apart from being a bit handsome and mellow, this guy actually looks quite energetic.
"Well, Brother Huan, that's right. It seems that things have changed a lot this year. How are you reading?" Feng Ziying doesn't have any good impressions of this Brother Huan, but she doesn't have any bad feelings either.
If he respects himself so much, of course he should treat him kindly.
"Brother Feng, Lang Ge'er and I have always been the most punctual and hard-working in clan studies. You can ask sir about this." Jia Huan said quite proudly.
Huh? Feng Ziying was stunned. He knew that Jia Huan must be better at studying than Baoyu, but he didn't expect that Jia Huan would dare to praise this Haikou in front of him.
The most serious and hard-working, this is not easy. Fortunately, I also brought Jialan with me.
Could it be that Jia Huan's fate in this life is really going to take a different path from the previous life due to his unintentional manipulation?
Then I was really looking forward to seeing how high Jia Huan could reach.
"Oh? Are you so confident? Do you dare to let Brother Feng take the test? What have you learned?" Feng Ziying was really interested.
"The Analects of Confucius, University, Doctrine of the Mean." A hint of timidity flashed across Jia Huan's face, but then he mustered up his courage. Even if he was really embarrassed in front of Brother Feng, it didn't matter. Brother Feng was always taking the exam.
The one who won the exam.
"Okay, then I will test you." Feng Ziying asked a few questions at random to see Jia Huan's background, but Jia Huan was still able to answer. Although he was not good at understanding and expansion, but for him,
Considering his age, he is pretty good.
Seeing Feng Ziying slightly nodding, Jia Huan was also particularly excited. Being able to get the approval of Brother Feng, who is now regarded as a god in the Jia family, is undoubtedly the most proud thing for Jia Huan, and he can even boast about it among the ethnic scholars.
"Yes, Brother Huan, you have lived up to my expectations. It seems that you have studied seriously this year. Well, you also conveyed the message to Brother Lang. If you and Brother Lang can pass the scholar examination in a few years,
, Brother Feng spared his face to let you go to the academy to study, and I will also tell Uncle Zheng Shi." Feng Ziying used his golden sword to take care of everything.
Jia Huan liked it so much that his voice trembled, "Brother Feng, are you serious about this? Don't you want to lie to us?"
"When did you, Brother Feng, stop talking?" Seeing Jia Huan's appearance, Feng Ziying also knew that this kind of bastard probably did not live a good life in Jia's house.
Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang are not welcome to see each other. I'm afraid Jia Zheng can still take care of him. After all, he is his own flesh and blood. But with Jia Baoyu as a "jewel" in front of him, Jia Huan's image and temperament are slightly inferior, and his status is also quite different.
Naturally, it is difficult to win too much attention.
If he wants to win more favor, he probably has to rely on his mother to serve Jia Zheng well in bed, or he has to work hard on his own.
"You will be ten years old next year, right? Brother Lan will be nine next year. Your elder brother Zhu was admitted as a scholar when he was fourteen years old. I don't ask you to be like your elder brother Zhu. If you become a scholar before the age of fifteen, I will give you a gift.
How about the goal you and Lang Ge'er have set? Do you have confidence in it?" Feng Ziying looked at each other.
To be honest, this Jia Huan is not ugly, but her eyes are slightly smaller, her eyelids are single, and her skin is slightly darker, so she is far behind compared to Baoyu, but at least she has a handsome appearance.
Jia Huan was a concubine and the second son. He had no chance of being a prisoner. Even Baoyu had to rely on his kindness, so he had no choice but to take the scholar examination.
Jia Huan's face was flushed, and his thin fists were clenched: "Brother Feng, I will pass the scholar examination when I am fourteen years old. Let others see that what Brother Zhu can do, I, Jia Huan, can do too!"
This other person is not worth it. It seems that Jia Huan is only ten years old and has already felt the harshness of the world. Feng Ziying secretly sighed in her heart, but it is no wonder. If this can be used as an incentive, the third child in this ring may not be able to become a scholar. Come out, but at that time Baoyu might be a little embarrassed.
"Okay, be ambitious!" Feng Ziying gave the other party an encouragement and nodded, "Well, in this way, after the Spring Festival, I will come to check your studies and perform well then!"
Looking at Feng Ziying getting into the car and driving away, Jia Huan was so excited that he couldn't help but wave his fist: "Brother Feng, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
*******
Seeing the young man coming to the door in front of him, Shen Zizheng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
The faint sunlight fell down, and the diffuse light in the hall made the young man in front of him look even more majestic.
He is one year younger than me, but actually more than half a head taller than me. Moreover, looking at this man with the body of a tiger and the body of an ape, the arms and belly of a wolf, he walks like a tiger. Standing in front of him with such a small body, he really looks like a human being. Brother.
In fact, Shen Zizheng was just subconsciously exaggerating. Feng Ziying was only over fourteen years old, not yet fifteen. According to the calculation of men in this era, she should be fifteen years old, but her height has already reached about 1.65 meters.
This is already considered good among men in this era. Compared with Shen Zizheng's thin figure, Feng Ziying, who has been able to keep up with exercise and nutrition since childhood, has also grown very long in the past two years, has broad shoulders and thick back, and is more imposing. foot.
When the Shen family sent congratulatory gifts, Feng Ziying would certainly not fail to return the greetings. This was also the basic etiquette. Of course, if some other people also sent gifts, she did not necessarily have to return the greetings in person. More often, she would return the greetings through a post.
"Brother Junyong."
"Brother Ziying." Shen Zizheng sighed, with a polite smile on his face. He did not expect that this guy would come and pay his respects in person.
The gift in return for paying homage is also very simple. It consists of two lilies and a pair of bear gallbladders. It may seem a little tacky, but it is more practical than anything else.
After some pleasantries, the topic soon turned to Qiu Wei's results in this subject at Qingtan Academy and Chongzheng Academy. Although Shen Zizheng failed to pass the exam, he was not discouraged.
After all, there are many uncertainties in this Qiu Wei itself, and people like them who are registered as vassals also have some limited quotas in Shuntian Qiu Wei. It is clear that they can only account for a certain proportion to ensure that local scholars in Beizhili can The number of successful candidates was high, but even so, it was still opposed and criticized by many scholars in Northern Zhili.
Shen Zizheng also thought that his performance in this subject was not very good, and it was expected that he would not pass the exam. However, he was full of confidence that he could pass the exam.
"If it weren't for the Beizhi Jie Yuan who had to be a native of Beizhi, the Jie Yuan would have to be Wen Ruo. Although Brother Meng Zhang is not bad, he is a bit inferior in terms of literary talent..." Shen Zizheng's emotional intelligence A little bit worse, still arguing about this topic endlessly.
"The regulations of the imperial court are like this, and they have their own reasons. If it were not so, then nine out of ten lands on the nine sides would be guarded by my children from the north. Isn't this fair?" Feng Ziying retorted casually.
"They are all defending their hometown, and they should never look back..." Shen Zizheng couldn't help but retort.
"Don't you feel that your lips are dying and your teeth are cold? When the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, they did not return because of looking at the Yangtze River. Does Brother Junyong still think that the policies towards southerners in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty made Jiangnan scholars miss him?"
This sentence made Shen Zizheng blush, but he was speechless and speechless.
