Jia Zhu didn't come to the exam, since the fifth elder brother went out of the palace to build a mansion, the emperor gave him a small job as a scribe and put it in the Ministry of Rites (this is considering that his skills are similar to his father's, just give him a little more leisurely work, save mistakes). The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info plus he and the Nalan girl who had been booked before were busy preparing for marriage, and they didn't have time to think about the township exam. Anyway, Lord Nalan also said that he would worry about Jia Zhu's future in the future, and it would not matter if Jia Zhu took the township test or not, anyway, he would be mixed with the Manchurians in the future, and the Hanchen who came out of the scientific examination couldn't afford him, and Jia Zhu was so high that he wouldn't take it to heart at all.

Speaking of Jia Zhu's marriage, there is also a lawsuit here, the palace is in a hurry to marry the fifth elder brother, Ziwei Gege and the Mongolian princess, so they purchase wedding supplies on a large scale, and suddenly the things in the wedding industry have generally risen by several percent. When Mrs. Wang purchased wedding items for Jia Zhu, although she was not reluctant to give up the silver, she finally complained about the inappropriateness of Jia Zhu's family affairs, and these words were passed on to the Nalan girl by the people who had already bought it by Mrs. Wang's side, although the Nalan girl was rude, she was not brainless, so she kept a small black account for Mrs. Wang one by one, and waited for the future to settle the general account with her after she enveloped her husband. However, it is always okay to collect some interest, she called her subordinates to give such and such an order, and within two days, Jia Baoyu was beaten by his father because he was stubborn and did not study well. It seems that this girl has also mastered the essence: if you block me, I will let your life pay off the debt.

Because Jia Zhu did not die early like in the original book, Mrs. Wang has a promising eldest son, of course, she can spoil her younger son vigorously, Jia Baoyu did not have Mrs. Wang's persuasion to go to school, and she was even more stubborn and lawless. And Jia Zheng is because of the comparison of Jia Zhu, no matter how you look at Jia Baoyu, it is not pleasing to the eye, and there is no concern when you start, how ruthless it is. So if you want Jia Baoyu to be beaten by Jia Zheng, it is a matter of minutes, and you can't get out of bed for several days. But this is all someone else's business, in addition to being a gossip and a pleasure, Xia Liansheng is at most telling Lin Jin to scare him into not studying well. Lin Jin is not like Aunt Yao but like him, lively and active, and his interest in practicing martial arts far exceeds that of studying literature, which is simply the opposite of Lin Huiyu, which really makes Lin Ruhai and Daiyu worry less, but they are still enjoying it, Xia Liansheng is very speechless about this.

The end of September is coming soon, and Xia Liansheng finally got out of the study to prepare for the exam. Daiyu had already prepared a lot of things, and Xia Liansheng also asked Daiyu to help prepare a special small stove and test basket. The small stove was given to Zhang Xuan and Fan Ning by Xia Liansheng two years ago, and they survived the cold ten days with this small stove, the small stove has no special design, but adds some flues, which increases the full combustion of the carbon in the furnace, increases the burning time and use rate of carbon, and in the case of insufficient carbon given by the Gongyuan, it can make the carbon enough and ensure that it is warm enough.

This time, Xia Liansheng added another test basket, which looks like other test baskets on the surface, all of which are three-layer wooden boxes, of which the top layer is a tray style, and the lower two layers are box-shaped. But Xia Liansheng's test basket is divided into four pieces, the style of the tray on the top remains the same, the box shape on the bottom remains the same, the middle layer of the box is only half the size of the original, and the other half is directly empty, this empty place, Xia Liansheng asked Daiyu to order a copper square box for him according to the size of the internal space of the box, with the length of the short side of the test basket as long, the height of the test basket is wide, one and a half inches high, and the head is inserted on one side of the test basket. There is a special lid with a small cloth bag containing a small bag of rice. This copper box can be stuck on top of a small stove, which does not spill soot, and is safe for sitting in water or boiling porridge, and does not increase carbon consumption. The most important thing is that its lid is sealed, as long as it is buckled, whether it is porridge or water, it will not overflow, and it is good to put it at night with heat and level, and it is good to hold it as a warm water treasure when you sleep.

In addition to these things, Xia Liansheng asked Daiyu to make him a lot of cakes that could be stored, just drink them together with the porridge, in order to maintain his strength, some of the cakes are made salty, and some of them are mixed with chopped vegetable leaves, so that there is no need to bring more pickles, which reduces the possibility of dirty rolls. However, the cake with the vegetables must be eaten early, or it will spoil. In the next few days, this kind of meal is easy to catch fire because there are fewer vegetables, but fortunately, it is only a few days, and the patience comes. You don't see that some people only brought dry steamed buns and water, and the endurance of those people was already much stronger than Xia Liansheng.

At the beginning of the township test, it was also a good day for Qin Tianjian to calculate Ziwei, so the palace has been busy with her marriage with Fukangan, the fifth elder brother this year because the queen mother began to be sick often, and wanted to accompany the queen mother more, so the day of leaving the palace was postponed, and now the main first thing built by the internal affairs office is Xia Liansheng and Fukangan's mansion, because Ziwei's days are much earlier than the completion of Beizi Mansion, so after Ziwei marries, she will first follow Fukangan to live in Fucha's house, and then go to live in Beizi Mansion.

Ziwei can do this, but Tuya and Xia Liansheng can't, first of all, Xia Liansheng still has to take the exam, and secondly, Xia Liansheng and Tuya don't have their own house in Beijing, and they are still in someone else's house, so Tuya and Xia Liansheng's wedding is scheduled to be calculated after the house is completed.

The township test is actually not cold, and even the autumn is crisp, and the weather is very comfortable, so Xia Liansheng's preparation is a little redundant, but it is not too redundant, adapt to this kind of life like squatting in the "No. room" in advance, and the next exam will be more calm.

It wasn't until the results of the township test came out that Ziwei knew that Xia Liansheng had participated in the township test this time, and he had passed, and she couldn't help but be happy for him. Deliberately found time to ask the emperor for leave to go out of the palace to congratulate him, in the past two years, Ziwei's temperament has become more and more stable, although she is still as sensitive as before, and she also likes to be sad, and she has to sigh when she sees anything, but she has become much more organized. Xia Liansheng is also happy for her change, and Xiao Daiyu also likes this sister very much. Xia Liansheng always felt that Daiyu liked her completely because she missed her mother with some empathy, but since Ziwei and her were both very happy and didn't mind, Xia Liansheng wouldn't be that bad guy.

Ziwei sent some supplements to Xia Liansheng, and Daiyu often stewed for Xia Liansheng to eat, Xia Liansheng quickly gained a lot of weight, and when he participated in the examination again, he almost couldn't even wear the thick cloth clothes that were specially tailored. In this test, in addition to Xia Liansheng to participate, the three people who originally borrowed from the Lin family also had to participate, all of whom were distant relatives of the Lin family, so when Daiyu prepared things, she directly prepared four copies, which was completely unrealistic, making people say that they were partial or something. Xia Liansheng's small stove and special test basket they didn't want, and it was not hypocrisy, but they were afraid that they would not use it well, in case they would lose their papers because of improper use, it would be worth the loss. However, compared with Xia Liansheng, who came out of the exam and saw him, although he was haggard but didn't want to be frozen at all, their refugee-like appearance was simply unseemly, and one of them also had a cold, and it was also a loss that Daiyu had already hired a doctor in the house, or she would have to suffer a lot. That's all for later, so let's not mention it for now.
