The bones of the hand are distinct, slender and powerful, and at a glance you can see that its owner is a man who has been rich and noble for a long time.

Jahu's gaze shifted to the owner of the hand.

Dressed in a low-key brocade robe, embroidered with dark lines, and only an ordinary jade pendant hung around his waist, Jia Hu didn't recognize who it was, but he recognized Zhang Shishu Zhang Wenjing who was following him.

Just when Jia Hu secretly looked at the five princes, the five princes also finished reading the article in their hands. I saw him take a deep breath, the appreciation and shock on his face were gone, and he was calm again.

The fifth prince invited Jia Hu.

Jia Hu didn't dare to disobey.

A few people went upstairs to the private room first, while Zhou Ren and the others waited downstairs.

However, after a while, the news of the publication of another article in Linyuan Pavilion came out, and many talented people rushed to Linyuan Pavilion, and the hall downstairs was full of people for a while.

The upstairs private room was depressing.

The fifth prince did not speak, but only sat quietly, drinking tea, as if thinking about something.

Since seeing Jia Hu's Huazhang, Zhang Wenjing knew that he had underestimated the person in front of him, and when he was ten years old, the strategy he wrote was not so meaningful and thought-provoking.

Neither of the two adults spoke, and Jia Hu sat quietly and did not make a sound.

The fifth prince came back from his contemplation and saw that he was safe, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

"The eldest grandson of Rong Guogong, the eldest son of Jia Enhou?"

"Yes, Jahu has seen this ......"

"Fifth Master." The fifth prince said nonchalantly.

It seems that he has met a nobleman, Jia Hu thought to himself, what a damn law of the traverser.

Jia Hu is as good as a stream.

"I don't know where Little Brother Jia came from?"

"Studied under my grandfather."

"It turns out that he actually got the true biography of Rong Gong!"

"Don't dare, my grandfather has been recuperating all the time, but he just taught me to read some scriptures."

"Little Brother Jia is really humble. This kind of Huazhang, I think Rong Gong has seen a lot, right? ”

"The fifth master praises falsely, and my grandfather has always been very distressed by Hu's deviance."

After hearing this, the five princes were half silent. After a while, he said: "Three years later, in the year of Dabi, can Little Brother Jia show his talents?" ”

Jia Hu smiled bitterly and said, "The fifth master is laughing, Hu is shallow in knowledge, how dare he show off in front of you?" My grandfather also said that Hu still needs to study for another five or six years. ”

Also, Jia Hu will be twelve years old in three years, even if he passes the palace exam? If you stay in the Hanlin Academy for another six or seven years, the emperor will not be able to remember who you are. It's better to take the exam again in six years.

Rong Guogong is a wise person, I don't know what Jia Hu thinks.

"Oh? In my opinion, Little Brother Jia is not much worse than the Jinshi in the past years. ”

Jia Hu replied sincerely: "After meeting all my friends, I found out that Hu is also sitting in a well and watching the sky, and he still has to learn!" ”

The fifth prince smiled.

After that, the two fought a few more strikes. The five princes were tentative, and Jia Hu only chewed each answer a few times before speaking.

The fifth prince couldn't help but show a smile in his eyes, he was really a little fox.

Jia Hu only felt tired, did the royal people talk like this? He really doubted that if he changed to the crossing girl in Xiaoyan, he was afraid that his family would be touched by someone!

At this moment, the fifth prince leaned on the back of the chair relaxedly, picked up the teacup, and said, "The government test is in April, so I will congratulate Little Brother Jia first." When he returns to the capital one day, Brother Jia wants to give me face. ”

Jia Hu first secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard that when he returned to the capital, he had to deal with this prince who claimed to be the fifth master, and his head was big. He had to say a few perfunctory sentences and retired.

After Jia Hu left, Zhang Wenjing asked the fifth prince: "Your Highness, you seem to value Jia Hu very much?" ”

The fifth prince said: "Isn't the ten-year-old Xiucai worthy of my attention? ”

Looking for adjectives in his heart, Zhang Wenjing said: "Don't you think he's too ...... Restless? And he's too small. ”

"Although people are small, they have ability. Besides, I don't need him to do much. If I could ......, wouldn't he be the right age? Saying this, the fifth prince lowered his voice.

Zhang Wenjing was not surprised, the Zhang family had already boarded the boat. It's just that His Highness does think far ahead. As for restlessness, when His Highness ascends to the throne, where can Jia Hu be restless?

It's just that when the fifth prince returns to the capital, he said it too early, so don't blame others for slapping his face.

When Jia Hu came out, he was led to the second floor by the waiter waiting outside the door.

Zhou Ren, Sun Muge and others are here, and there is a strange old man.

This old man has white hair and beard, fairy wind and bones, but he is very gentle, not arrogant, after being introduced, Jia Hu learned that he is the master of Linyuan Pavilion.

He asked, "This little friend, is Xi a thin gold body?" ”

Receiving an affirmative answer, he smiled happily.

I only heard him say: "It seems that the Huizong on the fifth floor can be regarded as a confidant!" ”

Jia Hu was shocked, and he was happy, the fact that there were authentic works of Huizong in Linyuan Pavilion turned out to be true!

The ink treasures of Linyuan Pavilion were all left by many talents, and many of them became famous and became a generation of masters. There are also rules here, all the ink treasures left here are evaluated by everyone, divided into A and B and second-class, and the first class is rare, and it is usually placed on the fourth floor, and it is generally B. However, there are also high and low grades, which are divided into four categories: upper B, upper B, middle B, and lower B.

Zhao Yi said with envy: "The pavilion master said that such articles can be rated as B. ”

There is no first, since ancient times, the literati have been light, and many talented people are not convinced.

Sun Muge laughed at himself: "My song "Song of Plum Blossoms" was selected as B Middle School at that time, and it was still stained with the light of being young!" ”

Sun Muge's words are not right or not, the pavilion master will not release water just because you are young.

Everyone said, I just smiled and didn't speak.

Lin Li changed the topic at this time and asked, "Brother Jia, do you want to go to the fifth floor now?" ”

The Pavilion Master also set his eyes on Jia Hu.

Jia Hu lowered his head and thought, then looked at the pavilion master, and asked, "I want to take the house test, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

The Pavilion Master smiled and nodded.

Zhou Ren couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity! Friends are not allowed on the fifth floor, otherwise I would be so cheeky to follow. He also shook his head, saying that he was really sorry.

Several people knew that Zhou Ren didn't like these the most, and they were all amused by him.

Back at the academy, after dinner, Zhou Ren slipped to Jia Hu's room.

The two lived in the same courtyard, and Zhou Ren didn't want to alarm others, so he only whispered outside the door: "Brother Hu! Are you sleeping? ”

The door creaked open, Jia Hu opened the door with slightly wet hair, clasped his hands and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

He was a little helpless. At this time, his friends would not come over, so he went to take a shower, and he is still wearing his middle clothes.

Zhou Ren also knew that he had come at the wrong time, so he touched his nose and said flatteringly: "Brother Hu, let's sleep together tonight!" ”

Jahu's face cracked.

Zhou Ren was annoyed that he had said the wrong thing again! He hurriedly added, "I mean, let's go to sleep!" I haven't tried it yet! ”

The Jiangnan literary style is prevalent, there are many talented people, and there are many romantic affairs among talented people, and there can be no more Qi brothers or something. Zhou Ren also heard about it, for fear that his new friends would misunderstand.

Jia Hu looked at him scrutinically, sniffed lightly, and asked, "Have you taken a bath?" ”

"Huh? You mean bathing? Zhou Ren asked stupidly, "I take a bath every two days, and I just washed it yesterday." ”

Zhou Ren also has to bathe every day at home, but the friends he knows also take a bath every few days, and the academy is not very convenient, and the weather is not hot in spring, so it is changed to once every two days.

Hearing this, Jia Hu glanced at him with disgust and said, "I don't sleep with people who haven't bathed. After speaking, he slammed the door shut, ignoring Zhou Ren's heart and shattering into scum.

Zhou Ren had no choice but to roll back to take a shower. After washing, he came to harass Jia Hu again.

Jia Hu expected that he would come over, so he changed his clothes into the civilian clothes he usually wore at home. The academy does not allow students to bring maids and maids, so Jia Hu has to do it himself, fortunately, he still knows what to wear, and he has not been spoiled by the pampering habits of the past ten years.

Zhou Ren's temper Jia Hu has also figured it out, cheeky, big-hearted, makes friends only by looking at the edge, trusting friends very much, obviously, Jia Hu, a newly known friend, was also classified by him as trustworthy.

He saw that Jia Hu had left the door for him, smiled hehe, and slipped in through the half-open door. Jia Hu was already reading a book on the couch.

"I'm going to try it right away, and you're still reading the travelogue?" Zhou Ren walked over lightly, wanting to scare him, telling him to leave the door ajar, and not afraid of others sneaking in, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of the title of the book, but he startled himself.

Jia Hu has been practicing martial arts all year round, and his ears and eyes are clear, and as soon as Zhou Ren came in, he heard movement.

At this time, Zhou Ren suddenly spoke, Jia Hu didn't raise his head, only said, "Coming?" The door is closed? ”

What else did Zhou Ren not understand, Jia Hu's ears were sharp. He touched his nose wryly and changed the subject: "Don't you read the scriptures and review your past?" ”

Jia Hu raised his head and said with a smile, "You haven't gotten tired of watching it yet?" I've had enough. ”

Hearing Jia Hu's teasing words, Zhou Ren was also a little embarrassed and turned to look at the entire room.

The students' rooms here are considered deluxe versions, and they are reserved for the children of those big families. A small courtyard for five or six people, sharing the kitchen and the yard's own house. Each one is a large room with two small corner rooms. One corner room is a bathing place, and the other corner room is used by Jia Hu to put some sundries.

Zhou Ren also knew the general layout, but just looked at the room curiously. The room is divided into two by a screen, one side is a bed, a bookshelf and a desk, because it is a temporary residence, it is not like other students, most of the furniture has been changed, the bed is standard, not so exquisite and comfortable, just sleep two or three people is more than enough.

The two of them were on the other side of the screen, and in front of the big window was a beautiful couch, apparently brought by Jia Hu, and he was lying on the couch reading a book at this time. In the middle is a round table and chairs, which are used to eat and entertain friends.

Zhou Renyi sat on the chair next to the round table and asked curiously, "Why is it similar to my room?" ”

Jia Hu said lazily: "But if you live for a few months, what kind of big project do you need?" ”

"I thought the people of the Guogong Mansion would not be used to living here."

Jia Hu shook his head and said helplessly: "My grandfather is a person who has led the troops to fight, and he has never suffered any hardships?" If I dare to be so squeamish, I won't be scolded to death. ”

Zhou Renxin has relatives, grandfather, that is a term that represents pain!

"What the hell are you looking for me?" Jahu interrupted his self-pleading and asked. He didn't believe it, Zhou Ren only came over to see her room.

Zhou Ren thought of his grandfather's instructions, and his face became serious: "Today's person is the Fifth Prince, you know, right?" ”

"I only know that he is the prince, but I am not sure if he is the fifth prince." Jahu said conservatively.

"Doesn't he call himself the fifth master? How did you not know that he was fifth? Zhou Ren's eyes widened and he asked.

Who knows if there was any fraud in it, maybe he was the fifth among his cousins? Jia Hu didn't say this, just made a few excuses.

Zhou Ren sneered, "Smart people just think too much." ”

Jia Hu, who thought too much, had no choice but to pull the crooked building back: "Then what do you want to say?" ”

"It was my grandfather who told me," Zhou Renxian declared, "and he said that you should study in peace and not get involved in some messy things." Rong Gong entrusted you to his care, and grandfather did not approve of you doing other things. ”

Most of the clear streams are wise to protect themselves, especially those who are far away from the center of power, and they can't earn that share of the dragon's work. Jia Hu said that he understood, but this kind of thing is not something you can dodge if you want to.

Thinking of the words of the five princes, Jia Hu had a headache again, the four kings and eight princes, with the situation of their family, it was impossible to dodge.

Jia Hu didn't want outsiders to worry about him, so he just responded vaguely.

Zhou Ren is not stupid, and naturally knows Jia Hu's response: "What do you think?" ”

Jia Hu didn't want to mention it, so he couldn't help but ask Zhou Ren to get to the bottom of it, so he had to say, "What else can I think?" Heavenly affairs, let's not get involved blindly, people are not good at tearing their faces, so they can only take us pawns. I still want to keep my ancestors' inheritance. ”

This is definitely the truth, at least, before Jia Yuanchun is given to a certain prince, he does not plan to take refuge in anyone.

Hearing this, Zhou Ren was also relieved, so he gossiped and said, "Hey, do you know what the five princes are doing in Jinling?" ”

"Do what?"

Zhou Ren made a secret appearance and said sneakily: "I heard my grandfather say that it has something to do with the two Huai salt merchants!" ”

"When you come to Jiangnan, what else is there besides disaster is salt? Take over? Jahu told a bad joke. Except for the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the emperor came to Jiangnan many times to deter those families who were still restless after submission, and there was no southern tour after that.

"However, the fifth prince seems to have stayed in Jinling all the time and has never been to Yangzhou."

Jia Hu didn't raise his head: "Normal, Jinling is the land of Longxing, those salt merchants don't dare to make waves, and the Zhen family is also here, if something happens to the fifth prince, the third prince can't get rid of suspicion." If you go to Yangzhou, it's not so safe. ”

Of course, this is just Jia Hu's opinion, and it does not represent the truth of the matter.

"Then isn't he afraid that he won't be able to find out?" Zhou Ren's eyes widened.

Jia Hu was speechless: "How can the prince do things personally?" It's all done by his subordinates, and he can take care of things in Jinling. ”

Zhou Ren secretly scolded himself for being stupid. Somehow, he was always a little different from his usual self in front of Jia Hu.

Neither of them talked about the topic anymore, and instead talked about the places to visit in Jinling.

"How do you know these places better than I do? I'm a local. Listening to Jia Hu talk about Jinling things like a few treasures, Zhou Ren was a little frustrated to find that he was not as familiar with Jinling as Jia Hu.

Jia Hu raised the travelogue in his hand at him.

"No wonder," Zhou Ren snatched it and muttered, "I'm surprised that you're not familiar with Linyuan Pavilion or anything." - Have you been to all of these places? ”

"No," Jia Hu was in a good mood, but he planned to take advantage of the pre-examination to take a good look at Jinling.

Zhou Ren's eyes lit up, obviously understanding Jia Hu's plan and strongly asking to join.

"Don't review the scriptures?" Jia Hu squinted.

Zhou Ren sneered.

Later, the two really fell asleep, and Zhou Ren muttered all night, just about where to go. At dawn, Jia Hu, who couldn't bear it anymore, drove him away, fell down and fell asleep.

When he got up, he was faced with the ambiguous eyes of everyone.
