Jia Chen was stunned and slightly happy. It seemed that Jia Dairu wanted to introduce himself to Jia Zheng!
I am only nine years old this year, and I want to make a comeback without a status elder? It’s purely a daydream!
Jia Zheng is the only reliable elder among Ning Rong's two mansions. Apart from Jia Mu, he is still quite reliable.
Jia Zheng, whose courtesy name is Cunzhou, was the highest ruler in Rongguo Mansion except Jia Mu, but like Jia Mu, he did not often manage the civil affairs of all kinds in the mansion.
He is upright, humble and kind, with a clean and honest reputation, courtesy of the wise and the inferior, helps the weak and the danger, and has a great style of ancestors, but he loses the pedantic.
He wanted to be a good official, but he was not familiar with the worldly affairs. He only bowed and bowed, and sat down all day long, like a clay sculpture. He was deceived repeatedly and became infamous.
Jia Chen can't say he is disgusted with such a pedantic and incompetent person.
At least Jia Zheng has a pretty good character, but he is not capable, and he is always serious, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and is generous. However, he will reveal his feelings when he is drunk, and sometimes he will make some unreasonable jokes after drinking.
Jia Chen followed Jia Dairu to Rongxi Hall, and Jia Zhengzheng confronted several Qingkes.
When Jia Dairu came to the door, Jia Zheng stood up and bowed, gave up his seat, and greeted him:
"School Master, you are a rare guest, please sit down!"
Jia Dairu smiled and said:
"Master Zheng, happiness comes from the sky. Our Jia family has produced a good student of studying!"
Jia Zheng was stunned when he heard this, looked at Jia Chen beside Jia Dairu, and asked with a smile:
"The great master is talking about this young man. Our Jia family has many subordinates and I can't recognize it, but I don't know which young master is from? Whose surname is?"
Jia Dairu introduced:
"This is Jia Jia Laoliu's only son, surnamed Jia and his name is Chen."
Jia Zheng frowned slightly and showed displeasure. Jia was his distant cousin, but he died of illness because of Hualiu. It was really an injustice and humiliation.
When Jia Dairu saw Jia Zheng's displeasure, he knew that he hated Jia, and quickly praised:
"Jia Chen has already memorized the Four Books and Five Classics at a young age. He is really the only young talent in our Jia family!"
Jia Zheng's expression cleared a little and said in surprise: "How old is Chen'er this year? How can he remember so many books on the Four Books and Five Classics?"
Jia Chen politely said: "Master Hui Zheng, my nephew is nine years old."
Jia Zheng's eyelids trembled and he took a breath.
The cleaners around also changed their expressions and sighed.
Jia Zheng doubted whether Jia Dairu was too confused or was deceived by Jia Chen, so he said such incredible big words.
"The great man has already taken the exam for Chen'er?" Jia Zheng asked skeptically.
Jia Dairu smiled and said:
"I asked him three questions, but he answered them all in a slew of joy. It really opened my eyes and was overjoyed."
Jia Zheng looked up and down with suspicious eyes and said:
"Then I'll take the school exam and you."
Jia Chen said calmly: "Please ask Master Zheng to give a question."
Jia Zheng paced back and forth a few steps, stroked his goatee, pondered for a moment, and asked:
"The peacock flies southeast, five miles and one wanders. Thirteen can weave simplicity, fourteen learn to set off clothes. Fifteen plays the qin, sixteen recites poetry and books. Seventeen is the king's wife, and always feels sad. Since the king is the official,
Keep the rituals unchanged. The humble concubine stays empty rooms and meets each other every day. What is the second half?"
Jia Chen blurted out:
"The rooster crows into the weaving machine, and it is impossible to stop every night. Five horses are cut in three days, so the adults are too late. It is not just for weaving, but for your wife, it is difficult for you to do it! I can't bear to drive me, so I can only leave you without doing anything. Then I can't do anything to Bai Gong Lao,
Deport them in time.”
Jia Zheng's eyes lit up, and he strode his hands and praised:
"Okay! Nothing is wrong, no matter how small it is!"
Jia Dairu stumbled on his lips a few times and couldn't help but remind him:
"Master Zheng, this is not the content of the Four Books and Five Classics, but the "Peacock Flying Southeast" in "Han Yuefu"."
"Uh..." Jia Zheng was speechless, his lips twitched slightly, his face turned awkward to the point of redness, and he coughed lightly:
"I remembered it wrongly, and I thought it was a passage from the Book of Songs."
The cleaners around couldn't help but want to laugh, but they were borers who depended on the Jia family to survive. They cheated on eating and drinking in the Jia family, and they dared not offend Jia Zheng, so they had to pursed their lips and held them to their death.
My face turned red and I didn't dare to show a smile.
Jia Zheng was embarrassed and hurriedly changed the topic, glanced at the clearing guests, and asked:
"You are all well-educated people. Can you evaluate my nephew's talent?"
The Qingke Zhan Guang quickly flattered:
"Make my nephew quick-witted and knowledgeable. He is really a role model for our scholars!"
Shan Pinren, who was standing by, immediately echoed:
"Brother Zhan said very well. Mr. Chen is very knowledgeable and talented, which is really admirable."
Cheng Rixing was not willing to fall behind and said with a flattering smile:
"Young Master Chen is so talented that he will be famous in the capital one day. He will rise up in the year and become a marquis and minister. He will definitely be able to shine the lintel of the Jia family and live up to the glory of his ancestors."
The other few Qinggu also flattered and praised the horse.
Although they said everything they said to please Jia Zheng, they also felt from the bottom of their heart that Jia Chen was extremely talented and had memorized the Four Books and Five Classics at a young age. Even if they called him a child prodigy, it would not be an exaggeration.
Hearing these scattered praises from the guests clearly, Jia Zheng was so ecstatic that he was fascinated by the ecstasy.
The Qingkes praised Jia Chen, which was equivalent to praising him as his uncle.
Jia Zheng likes to listen to these flattery words the most, and these so-called clean guests rely on flattery, flattery, and helping to make fun of themselves, so that they become Jia Zheng’s guests.
In fact, most of these Qingkes are not even a child. They just rely on their studies for a few years and devote themselves to their preferences, accompanying Jia Zheng to sing the wind and the moon, art, and talking about the past and the present, so as to
Jia's family eats and drinks.
Jia Chen was very disgusted with these vampires parasitized on the Jia family, but now they have the support of Jia Zheng, so Jia Chen didn't say anything for the time being. He could only wait until he took over the power of the Jia family in the future before cleaning up the portal.
Jia Zheng smiled proudly:
"You are too proud. Chen'er must not be arrogant and arrogant. You must be vigilant every day and night. We must strive to get a gold list as soon as possible to comfort the spirit of the two Duke Ning Rong in the sky."
Jia Chen bowed again:
"I remember it in my heart and will definitely live up to Master Zheng's expectations."
Jia Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"You call Mr. Zheng so angry. You should call me my second uncle."
"Okay, second uncle!" Jia Chen changed his mouth and shouted.
Jia Zheng Lao Huai comforted him. Although Jia Chen was not taught by him, he was a distant relative of the Rong Mansion and still felt honored.
Thinking about his incompetent son Jia Baoyu, he is far inferior to Jia Chen.
How great would it be if Jia Chen was his son?
Jia Zheng sighed in his heart, looked at Jia Dairu, and asked with concern:
"Chen'er hasn't taken the county exam yet, right?"
The county examination is the first in the children's examination. Only by passing the examination can you obtain the qualification for the government examination.
Jia Dairu and Tao: "Not yet."
Jia Zheng gave a serious reminder:
"Our Jia family finally produced such a stunning young man, and we must train him carefully."
Jia Dairu agreed:
"This is naturally. It's just about ensuring the graduation of the students who are registered in the county. I also need to ask Master Zheng for help."
The county examination has an extremely strict registration process. In addition to registering for the county’s ritual room, filling in the name, origin, age, and resume of three generations, you also need to obtain the county’s student loan guarantee, ensure that he is not fake, hiding his or her mourning, and substitute him or her.
Only by pretending to be a good name and having a pure fortune, but not the descendants of the Youpin Zaoli will be allowed to take the exam.
Jia Zheng immediately said, "Don't worry about this matter, I will personally protect Chen'er."
Jia Dairu smiled and said, "If this is the case, I will feel relieved."
Jia Chen bowed and said, "Thank you, my second uncle, for protecting me."
Jia Zheng smiled and said:
"No need to thank you. There is no need to say two families. If you can pass the imperial examination, it will be the glory of our Jia family!"
While he was talking, a servant suddenly ran in from outside and reported:
"Your Madam, the lady Lin from Mr. Lin's house in Jiangnan, has already got off the boat at the Tongzhou Wharf. There is also a Jinshi Master named Jia and named Yucun who is known as Yucun.
Miss Lin was well-educated and polite, so she sent a servant to the mansion to report it.”
Jia Zheng hurriedly ordered:
"Yu'er came from afar, traveling through mountains and rivers, and was exhausted. Please send a sedan chair to greet him."
"Yes!" The servant took the order and left.
Jia Dairudao: "Mr. Zheng has his subordinates to visit him. I have many inconveniences here, so I will say goodbye first."
Jia Zheng insisted on keeping:
"The great master is a rare visit to the door, and he has also cultivated the young talent Chen'er. He has worked hard and made great contributions. It is almost noon. Please stay with Chen'er for a meal!"
