The Jia family is a prosperous family for a hundred years, and there are two generations of princes in Xifu, so for such a long time, arrogance and lasciviousness are inevitable, and the vastness of the emperor's grace is also easy to make the Xungui family lose vigilance.

Jinshi, although the whole society takes it as a glory, everything is inferior, only the reading is high, but if you say a Jinshi, you can make the family rise instantly, this situation is almost impossible. The new science and technology jinshi entered the Hanlin Academy, and the others were either released as magistrates, or stayed in Beijing as petty officials, and boiled their qualifications.

Whether it is a courtier or a harem concubine, the most self-protecting killer is nothing more than the emperor's favor, and Jia Cong is still a tribute.

But Jia Cong now has a chance to face the emperor, Jia Mu looked at him coldly all the way, no one knows where Jia Cong can go, I'm afraid Jia Cong himself doesn't know, the court is full of unknowns. A political speculator may once soar to prominence, and an official with an upright temperament, to tell the truth, is likely to be the emperor with a word, cut his nationality to the people, or fill the army to the extreme, and die without a place to be buried. For example, when Donglin Zhao Nanxing was assessed in the Ministry of Officials, he was official and selfless, and as a result, he was reduced to the people by Wanli.

Therefore, compared with the Jinshi as an official, walking on thin ice, mixing and waiting for death, it is the safest, which is also one of the reasons why Jia's mother looks down on Jia Cong, if she is replaced by Jia Baoyu, the uncle of the country, it will be a different matter.

Naturally, you can't say a word to death, it doesn't mean that Jinshi's background is useless, this mainly depends on the individual's ability and style of acting, this ability is not the ability to serve the country and the people, but the ability to deal with the superiors, the yamen, and the emperor, which can be said to be the art of bureaucracy.

And Jia Cong is outside, and it doesn't seem that he can't do things, at least, Jinshi has hope.

"Okay, this is the glory of the family, Xiucai, Juren, Gongshi, all into the family tree, this matter will be handled by Brother Qiang, Cong'er, you go down to prepare for the palace test, we are all looking forward to the palace test." Mother Jia leaned forward slightly against the pillow and looked at Baoyu, the ancestor's face kept changing.

"Yes, Ancestor." Jia Cong withdrew, Jia Baoyu pouted with disdain, and Sanchun Daichai came out to congratulate him.

Outside the Hanging Flower Gate on the West Road, it was already the twilight spring season of Bingzi, and Xue Baochai's eyes were full of brilliance: "The first and the first Xiaochuan, if you win the top three in the palace examination, you will definitely be able to be passed on by the Ninety-Five Supreme, and you don't need to participate in the later court examination, you can directly confer the official, Hanlin, and it is Qing Yao." ”

"Sister Bao, don't say it, let's see what Master Gongshi looks like......" Jia Xichun gestured to Jia Cong's body and looked at it non-stop.

Jia Yingchun said: "Hurry up and see the old lady." ”

Jia Cong thanked him and walked out of the West Cross Courtyard, and Jia Tanchun said: "A man should be like this, making meritorious contributions." ”

……

Jia Cong arrived at the East Cross Courtyard, saw the errand sent by the Yamen of the Mansion, led the east side of the Black Oil Gate, led a few carpentry craftsmen to measure the foundation, and congratulated one after another, Jia Cong smiled and returned the salute, and went to the central axis to the outer Yi Gate, Wang Shanbao's family said: "The old lady said, the master himself went back to prepare for the exam, and what is missing is to talk about it." ”

"I'm in trouble." Jia Cong saw that this Wang Shanbao's family was flattering, and in the face of the housewife's companionship, the children must be respectful, not arrogant, and not called by name. Wang Shanbao's family and Qingwen did not deal with each other, but it was not far from the raid of Daguan Garden, at that time, Wang Shanbao's family was embarrassed, and he could no longer wait for a long time. At this time, Qingwen made her own room, and she didn't have to worry about her.

Back to the study in the courtyard of the middle road, Xiangling sorted out the letter, Kuang Liuhe was not hit, Wang Yinglin and Zhang Maocai were hit, Wang Yinglin couldn't see that there was a mustard in Qian Xihong's matter, even if there was, he knew how to make trade-offs, and the future officialdom would not talk about much emotion. The strange thing is that Sima Bandit Jian from Fangshan County was like a chicken blood, and he rushed to the end of the test list.

Because Qingwen is not very interested in poetry and books, and is busy with Jia Cong's clothing needlework, now Jia Cong wears, Qingwen has to sew it herself, so Xiangling grinds ink and lays paper, Jia Cong replied to the letter one by one, and found that there are two letters underneath, one Yu Biao's, this person is ranked among the thousands of households under the command of the Governor of Jinyi Wei Zuo, and one is the head of the Prince Yu's mansion, Jia Cong was not careless, and replied to say hello.

Although the governor of the palace and the long history of the palace are ranked in the third grade, they do not participate in the official assessment, and most of them have no way out. For example, in order to curry favor with Zhang Juzheng, someone arranged an official to be included in the history of the palace, and finally drove him out. These people are also pulling the prince's banner, so Jia Cong is not so afraid of the official Cheng of the Changfu of the Prince of Zhongshun's mansion, and he will be driven out of the court sooner or later.

The officials all gave Luo Min and Ji Shiwei ignorance in the matter, and made it clear that they would not let him have a good time.

The factions in Jiangnan are also very deep-minded, but while Jia Cong maintains his fear and vigilance, he also can't wait to enter the court to compete.

Enough of these days of cringe!

When the time comes, there will be resentment and revenge, and there will be revenge, and no one will be able to escape!

Of course, we have to calm down now, and we will talk about it after the palace test!

"What day is the temple test?" Xiangling asked.

"On April 21, I don't take the Four Books and Five Classics, but only the current affairs." Jia Cong rubbed Xiangling's hand, "Come, you sit down." ”

Xiangling hesitated for a moment, sat side by side, her hands seemed to be flustered as if she had nowhere to put them, Jia Cong curiously touched the rouge mole in the center of her eyebrows, Xiangling didn't dare to push her hand, and whispered: "Sister Qingwen is outside, besides, it's still daytime......"

Jia Cong coughed dryly, talked with Xiangling about poetry seriously, hugged her sideways and put her on her lap, and touched her chest from her waist, Xiangling was born in a wealthy family since she was a child, and after being carried away by traffickers, she was also carefully trained, and she was soft everywhere, Jia Cong couldn't bear to let go: "When I come back from the exam in April, I won't delay you, your character is not bad, and Qingwen should get along ......"

Xiangling hooked Jia Cong's neck with both hands, raised her head slightly shyly, and responded in a low voice, she probably had already succumbed to fate, Jia Cong said: "I know where your home is, outside the gate of Suzhou, but unfortunately it has already been burned by a fire, the girl Jiao Xing, who played with you when you were a child, is now the lady of the prefect of Tianfu...... Your identities have been reversed, and the world has made people. ”

"I don't remember." Xiangling was moved, "How do you know?" ”

Jia Cong didn't answer, taught her how to kiss, for a while, Xiangling kept reminding to close the door, Jia Cong's whole body was hot, and he almost solved it with this posture, but suddenly the sun at the door dimmed, but it was Ping'er and Mandarin Duck who came together.

"Two sisters sit, please sit." Jia Cong greeted him as if he was fine, and Xiangling ran away in a panic and with joy.

Ping'er was speechless, but Jia Lian also likes to do it in broad daylight, she is not surprised when she comes over, but the mandarin duck is a virgin, her face is so red that she is dripping blood, and she secretly spat out: "Phew, how can Master Cong ...... How can it be ...... like this?"

Xiangling is by no means completely stupid, this girl is also careful, and later Xue Pan married Xia Jingui, she thought about serving a good housewife. It's a pity that it backfired, Xia Jingui couldn't tolerate her such an excellent girl, and when she came to Jia Cong, the tragedy of "since the birth of a lonely tree in two places, causing the soul to return to her hometown" will not appear, Jia Cong thanked Ping'er for the gift of the mandarin duck, and reluctantly reminisced about the taste of Xiangling.
