Since you want to choose the imperial examination, you will no longer be like the original Jia Cong, who lives in a mess and waits for death. In the feudal society to obtain a stepping stone to enter the office, the identity of the original owner must be used, not everyone can participate in the scientific examination, first of all, it cannot be a pariah, secondly, the family background must be innocent, and finally, you have to look at the face!

The trend of looking at faces is not a modern patent, it has existed since ancient times.

People who don't have good looks are very dangerous in ancient scientific examinations, and they are very likely to be brushed off, because in ancient times, officials also paid attention to "majesty", and they had to have "official authority", and the national character face was the most suitable.

Therefore, how can the identity and conditions of the original owner be discarded?

Make use of all the conditions that can be used, so that it is not appropriate to make enemies on all sides in the Jia clan, this is Jia Cong's temporary idea, although the plan has not changed quickly, but the growth of that life has made him accustomed to plans and goals, if people have no dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish?

……

The architectural layout of Rongguo Mansion is divided into left, middle and right three roads, the middle road is the gate, the outer instrument door, the south hall, the inner instrument door, the Rongxi Hall, the left road is the hanging flower door, the hall, the flower hall, the upper room of Jia's mother, the inverted hall, the Fengjie courtyard, the black oil gate on the right road is the Jia Amnesty Courtyard, the main house is in the three-story instrument door, small and chic. To the east of the east ear room of Rongxi Hall, there is the East Cross Courtyard, which is the courtyard of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.

From the perspective of pattern and scale, Rongguo Mansion is very close to the princely mansion of the Qing Dynasty, and many things in this era are similar to the Qing Dynasty, but they are not the Qing Dynasty, and there is no "shaving hair".

Jia Muhua Hall is built next to a small garden, surrounded by lake stones, is a leisure place for people to drink and feast, watch dramas, get off the sedan chair, sit down, Jia Cong found a remote corner, and Jia Huan, Jia Lan and so on to sit at a table.

During the Lantern Festival, the stage opposite was singing, it was a play "Full Bed", but it was replaced by Henan Opera, not Qin dialect, Jia Mu was watching it in the chief, she liked lively and festive occasions, as well as lively and festive dramas, this play was just appetizing, and I didn't notice Jia Cong.

"Brother Cong, why are you here?" Jia Huan, who was sitting next to him, had eyebrows and rat eyes, and the angle of looking at people was also oblique.

Wearing a hat crookedly and wearing clothes diagonally must not be a good thing.

Jia Cong said: "It was the eldest master who asked me to come over, didn't Brother Huan also come over?" ”

Jia Cong is older than Jia Lan and younger than Jia Huan, and according to that memory, he is actually the same age as Jia Huan, a few months younger.

Jia Huan has no interface, eats with dates, and can't see much of the cultivation of "everyone's son", Jia Huan plays dominoes with Baochai girl Ying'er, and they have to cry. Jia Lan died of his father Jia Zhu since he was a child, and his personality is more introverted, so he only called "Uncle Cong" and watched the play quietly.

These are Jia Cong's two best playmates, except for Jia Yingchun.

"My nephew and daughter-in-law will give Uncle Cong a cup." Directly opposite the same table, there was a man and a woman sitting peacefully, the man was handsome, the woman was beautiful, the beautiful woman elegantly picked up the purple clay pot, poured a glass of wine in the sandalwood cup, and then got up and handed it over with both hands.

The clouds are elegant, the eyebrows are trimmed, the lips are bright, the teeth are fresh, the eyes are bright, the eyes are good, the beauty is auxiliary and the power is beautiful, and the posture is quiet and graceful.

Hearing her call herself a "nephew and daughter-in-law", looking at her appearance and temperament, Jia Cong knew that she was Qin Keqing, and she also stood up and took it, smiled and drank it all, the alcohol was not high, and another handsome young man, Jia Rong, also poured him a glass.

The generations of the Jia clan, from high to low, are the water character generation, the generation of the characters, the generation of words, the generation of jade characters, the generation of grass characters, Jia Rong is the generation of grass characters, Jia Cong is the generation of jade characters, Jia Rong and Qin Keqing have to call him uncle, in the big family, it is very common to be young and have a high generation.

Jia Cong glanced at a few times, and the banquet on the top of the table, Jia Yu, Mrs. Xing, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Jia Zhen, You Shi, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, Li Kun, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Sanchun, Jia Baoyu are all there, so lively, no one speaks loudly, and they speak in ear to ear and whisper.

Wang Xifeng came over to pull Qin Keqing over, saying that the ancestor wanted her to serve, Qin Keqing won the favor of the Jia Mansion, and she passed, and there were only a few inconspicuous men left at the end of the table, and the banquet became the same table for men and women for each seat.

Jia Cong paid close attention to the observation, and saw that several people had moved the chopsticks, so he used the chopsticks, at a young age, the food here was the best, so he quickly supplemented the nutrition.

The "Full Bed Wat" on the stage tells the story of Guo Ziyi's military exploits in the Tang Dynasty, full of children and grandchildren, and the story of high-ranking officials in the descendants, among which a descendant also married a princess as his wife, extremely prominent, Dian Opera, Henan Opera, Jin Opera, Sichuan Opera, Hebei Bangzi's "Hitting the Golden Branch", is detached from "Full Bed Wat".

Jia Cong thought: "How similar is this play to the current situation of the Jia family?" But I'm afraid there aren't many of these people, and they can predict that the fall of the Jia family is not far away. ”

……

After singing a few plays, Mother Jia smiled happily, she couldn't close her mouth happily, she wore a jade-inlaid eyebrow wipe her forehead, her body was blessed, leaning on a chair, her big girl Mandarin Duck carefully laid a pillow for the chair, Mother Jia hugged Lin Daiyu with one hand and Jia Baoyu with the other.

Wang Xifeng gags next to her from time to time, Jia Tanchun, Qin Keqing and others are also very good at pandering, Jia's mother laughs every time, watching her children and grandchildren full of people, and she is very happy.

Jia Mu looked around, saw a few people at the end, nodded and said, "Huan'er, Cong'er, Lan'er, Rong'er, are all here?" Good! Good! That's the excitement! ”

Jia Rong peeked at her father Jia Zhen and her mother-in-law You Shi, hurriedly stood up, and gave a few people at the same table a look, but found that Jia Cong had already been the first to walk over, Jia Rong was stunned for a moment, and followed over, Jia Huan pouted, and Jia Lan was quiet.

Mandarin ducks and amber came over with cushions to lay down, and the four of them knelt down together: "Say hello to the ancestors." ”

Mother Jia's smile spread from the corners of her mouth to her eyes narrowed into a slit, although she was an old man, she married from the Houmen of the Shi family in her early years, started from her great-granddaughter-in-law, and then she also had a great-granddaughter-in-law, with decades of experience in a wealthy family, and enjoyed happiness in her later years, the wrinkles on her smiling face were not very many, and her teeth were still white, so she called them up.

Jia Yu said: "Mother, while it is lively, you might as well take the test for your grandchildren's learning, otherwise it will be in vain to go to school, and the son will also help them and ask his mother for a lottery." My unsuccessful son, Jia Cong, has been on the rise lately. ”

His words fell, and Jia Mu glanced at Jia Cong and Jia Huan, and then looked at Jia Baoyu in her arms, frowning.

Jia Cong, Jia Huan and other young people, who have never married a wife, are all studying in the clan school, taught by Jia Dairu, but now it is the first month, after school, so in the idle home, Jia Baoyu is different, Jia's mother is favored, he can go or not, so there is a rule, boudoir women can not do needlework in the first month. The rules of feudal society are also enough.

As soon as the words fell, some of the people around looked at it, and some of them didn't care about it, looking for someone to talk to, Jia Mu shook her head and asked, "Why is your son motivated?" Come and coax me again! I watched the Cheng Ri family, but it was not like this. ”

"It should be a chance from heaven, Baoyu was born with a piece of 'Tongling Baoyu', Cong'er also has his blessings, he was sick, and after waking up from a dream, he thought about it, and his son was ready to hire a teacher for him." Jia Yu explained.

He was so solemn, Wang Xifeng, who was pleasing Jia's mother next to him, Danfeng's eyes suddenly had a meaningful taste, and he looked at her brother-in-law for the first time.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang also cast scrutinizing glances at Jia Cong, and the crowd quieted down at this time, and Jia Cong became the focus.

Jia Mu's expression became curious, and she asked Jia Cong, "What dream?" You say. ”

Jia Yu looked over, Jia Cong stood up, and replied, "Nan Kemeng." ”

Lin Daiyu in Jia's mother's arms raised her pink handkerchief and smiled, Jia Baoyu quietly asked her what she was laughing at, Lin Daiyu snorted: "Don't laugh at anything, just see Brother Cong's appearance, young and old, someone is older than him, but he has grown white." ”

Others couldn't hear it, but Jia Mu heard it, and her heart became more and more unhappy, and said, "Is it Tang Xianzu's "Nanke Dream"? This dream is unlucky! ”

Mother Jia is proficient in opera, and when it comes to "Listening to the Qin" and "Continuing the Pipa" in "The Story of the Jade Hairpin", Aunt Xue said that she has never heard it, this is people's experience.

"The ancestor said yes, but Cong'er had another idea. After the grandson was sick, he entered a dream, dreaming that he had become Chun Yudi, Ren Nan Ke Taishou, because of the military merit officer worshipping the left minister, marrying the princess as his wife, and being illustrious in the dynasty, but because of arrogance and extravagance, extravagance, he did not know how to be in charge, and some people in the family bullied and bullied the weak, and committed many cases, which eventually caused internal and external troubles, and the family was ruined, but it was a big dream. ”

Jia Cong thought of his experience, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said: "My grandson thinks that although this dream is absurd and unlucky, it has the purpose of alerting the world. Because my grandson dreamed of it himself, that kind of experience can be expressed in words and goes straight to the hearts of people, so after waking up, I think that studying hard is the right reason, and I can't follow in the footsteps of Chun, which is why I will have my father's words. ”

Jia Mu straightened her face and didn't say a word.

Jia Zhen didn't like Jia Cong's words very much, and You Shi smiled at him: "What a smart child." ”

Qin Keqing was also silent, Jia Tanchun was also like this, Xue Baochai thought: "Is this Jia Cong intentional or unintentional?" At his age, it should be unintentional. "On second thought, bullying? Throw one’s weight around? Xue Pan killed Feng Yuan in Jinling for the girl Xiangling, a murder case, there is no, is this talking about her brother Xue Pan?

Jia Yu Dayue, his son said it well, he didn't feel that he had anything in common with Chun Yudi's descendants, people are like this, they can judge fairly about things that have nothing to do with themselves, but once they involve themselves, they may not be.

Jia Zheng said: "Mother, son also agrees with Cong'er, his words are somewhat reasonable. ”

Jia Zheng, the word Cunzhou, although this Jia Cunzhou is not strong, he can feel the crisis from Daiyu's riddles.

Jia Cong thought: "Jia Baoyu was born with a psychic treasure jade, this era is superstitious, Wang Xifeng doesn't seem to believe in gods and ghosts, her daughter is sick, she also asked Cai Ming to watch "Jade Box", send flowers to God, compared to my words, it is really trivial, it is completely reasonable, it seems that they do not have much suspicion. If you want to study and take the exam outside, then in the family, you must stand on your feet, and gaining Jia Yu's trust is secondary, the key is this old man who is clear! ”

Jia's mother seemed to be emotional, and did not scold, Jia Zheng proposed that he ask questions, Jia's mother nodded thoughtfully, Jia Zheng stroked his beard honestly and elegantly, like a Taoist gentleman, and said: "Cong'er, the eldest brother said that you are talented and enterprising, presumably Mengxue has read through, have you read through the Analects?" ”

Jia Xichun was the youngest, and she saw that her second sister Jia Yingchun was a little nervous, and she giggled.

Although Wang Xifeng recognizes a few words, but her talent and cultural literacy are far inferior to Dai, hairpin, and Sanchun, for her who likes to be in the limelight and put on a prestige, the sudden change of this little uncle is what she doesn't want to see, but her face is also generally spring-like, and what she thinks in her heart is not written on her face. At this time, Wang Xifeng thought: "Huan'er and Cong'er are all slaves for several generations, and they can't get on the high platform if they have sons!" ”

Reading through and reading and memorizing is not the same thing, not only to memorize, but also to use flexibly, the title of the eight-strand text, extremely harsh and tricky, especially the interception question, not to mention the Five Classics, the four books must be ripe, otherwise you "break the topic" can not be broken.

Jia Cong's previous life was just interested, remember some, read through, proficient, it will take time, he replied: "Don't dare to read through, remember a little, second uncle, please ask." ”
