Chapter 137: A Hoax
The next day, Jia Yucun came to Jiafu to visit Jia Zheng and the ancestors and other members of the Jia family.
This time, he said that he was going to Beijing for business, but in fact, it was mainly for two things.
The first is to set up the backers of the bigwigs in the DPRK and China, and the second is to escort Chen Wenxiang to participate in the examination.
Chen Wenxiang was originally eighty-eight years old, and this year is the emperor's 40th birthday, in order to please the emperor, he checked with Xu Daozhong, the chief examiner of Yingtianfu, and changed Chen Wenxiang's age to 98 years old, and let him participate in the examination, so as to create the phenomenon of human Rui, so as to attract the emperor's attention.
The old ancestor is seventy-eight years old this year, and she originally felt that she was already an old birthday star, and she was quite complacent.
Now I heard that I had lived to be 98 years old, and I could go all the way to Beijing to catch the exam, and I was not only envious, but also very interested, so I invited Chen Wenxiang to the mansion for a banquet as a guest.
So Jia Rui took Chen Wenxiang to the mansion for a banquet, and by the way, he also brought Ma Fushan and Hu Xingshan with him.
After arriving, the ancestor also passed down the word, asking the masters in the house to come and meet this old birthday star.
Chen Wenxiang is also an old fritter, and when he saw the old ancestor and others, he praised Jia Rui vigorously.
When I see the big and small masters in the house, I also see people talking about people, and talking nonsense when I see ghosts, either this one has a good face, or the one who talks extraordinary and is knowledgeable.
For a while, the old ancestor and a group of masters were coaxed into a daze. As soon as he was happy, he rewarded Chen Wenxiang with fifty taels of silver.
When Jia Dairu saw Chen Wenxiang, he felt even more like a bosom friend.
"Brother Wenxiang is ninety-eight years old, and he has taken the exam eighteen times in a row, and he finally won the examination, which is admirable. If you take the exam, you will be able to succeed immediately. ”
"It's a pity that I wasted half my life, and I didn't even get a show, which is really regrettable for life."
Chen Wenxiang stroked his snow-white beard and smiled slightly.
"Brother Dairu, you are losing your ambition when you say that. You're only sixty-one years old now, thirty-seven years younger than me. ”
"Thirty-seven years, you can still participate in twelve scientific examinations, how do you know that you can't win?"
"In my opinion, you are not bad at learning, but you lack a little luck. Once the time comes, let alone show talent, it is easy to move. Didn't I just take the exam eighteen times before I came to work? ”
"You say you envy me, but I envy you even more. You're only sixty-one years old, and your grandson will be able to lift it. ”
"I'm ninety-eight years old, and I have a lot of sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and none of them have won the slightest fame."
"If one of them can get fame, why don't I let this ninety-eight-year-old old man go down to the field to fight?"
What does this mean? It shows that you teach Sun Youfang. In this regard, I am far inferior to you. Be content. ”
When Jia Dairu heard it, yes, I still taught it well, otherwise where would Rui Ge'er be so promising.
"Brother Chen is right, it seems that I have to make persistent efforts to go to the field again. No merit, no recruitment. ”
"Dude, that's right. On the day you also won the Jinshi, Tianxiang also won the Jinshi. This is called the ancestor and grandson and the first, one door and two jinshi. That's a good story. ”
"Lend your auspicious words, I will study when I go back, and I will fight again in two years. Come, brother, toast you. ”
Jia Rui listened to it from the sidelines, and couldn't help but feel anxious.
I said, old man, let's stop a little bit, okay? At such an age, don't toss, okay?
Chen Wenxiang is an old liar, can you still believe his words?
I wish you lived a few more years. But twelve more exams, can you guarantee to survive to that time?
That doesn't seem to be how the accounts are calculated, right?
Chen Wenxiang is also thick-skinned enough, knowing that Jia Rui knows his details, he doesn't care at all. For these people in the Jia family, they are still fooled.
Jia Rui didn't want to listen to him, so he drank a few glasses of wine, and when he was full, he excused himself from the table.
When they got to the courtyard, Daiyu saw it, and came over.
"Brother Rui, is this old man really ninety-eight years old?"
"Oh, probably, he said it himself. During the scientific expedition, there were many audits, and there were guarantors, so I shouldn't be wrong. ”
Chen Wenxiang, you old thing, you'd better not show your stuffing. Otherwise, I don't know how many people will be unlucky with you.
Naturally, Jia Rui will not debunk this scam.
The first is that Chen Wenxiang has a good relationship with him, and the second is that this is a scam by director Jia Yucun.
In the future, Jia Yucun is likely to become his enemy, and Chen Wenxiang's matter is one of his handles. When necessary, you can use this handle to blackmail Jia Yucun.
This is the crime of deceiving the king, enough for him to drink a pot in Jia Yucun.
"At the age of ninety-eight, he can get off the field, and Brother Rui can also enter the top three in one fell swoop this year."
Daiyu said.
"Miss Schelling Ji Yan will try to gather elites, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy. It's just a try. Even if you don't hit, there's no regret. ”
"Brother Rui, if you want me to say, what are you doing with all your hard work?"
Baoyu is here.
"Look at that old man, he is ninety-eight years old, he doesn't take care of his old age, he makes fun of his grandson, and he can't forget his fame and fortune, how sad."
"Baoyu, everyone has their own ambitions, why force it?"
How can you understand that he Chen Wenxiang has his interests and pleasures in doing this?
"Everyone has their own aspirations, but they are all stupid. I advise Brother Rui not to go to the science field, build a provincial villa, save more money, and help the house make more money in the future. ”
Jia Rui couldn't help but feel angry.
I want to save some money, that is to be responsible for the ancestors, and I want to leave as much money as possible for Daiyu.
What kind of shit are you? He even asked me to give up my fame and save you money?
What else do you say to help you make money in your house? Do I have that obligation?
I'm making money, giving you all kinds of waste to spend all day drinking and having fun? Who gave you the confidence to take it for granted?
I don't mean I care about you.
"Baoyu, haven't you always hated people talking about the worldly way of the economy? How do you talk about money now? ”
Obviously, he relied on his family's money and power to accumulate his own life, and he kept saying that he hated money and power.
Saying that you are a person like "why don't you eat minced meat" is exalting you. To put it mildly, he is a hypocrite, not even as good as a real villain like Jia Rong.
Jia Rui also wanted to mock Baoyu, just as Jia Zheng came out.
As soon as he saw Baoyu standing beside Daiyu, Jia Zheng's heart suddenly burst into flames.
"You wicked obstacle, Mr. Chen is ninety-eight years old, and he still reads the books of sages and sages. If he doesn't succeed in this department, the emperor will also reward him with a Hanlin Academy editor. ”
"You are young, and it is a good time to study, but you are not doing your job. Why don't you go back to your book and wait to break your legs? ”
When Baoyu saw his father, his heart was already up and down. At this time, I heard that Jia Zheng told him to leave, where did he dare to stay, and there was no trace of the smoke.
"Brother Rui, don't take Baoyu's words to heart, he is a bad person, don't be like him."
Daiyu said.
"It's okay, Miss Lin, there's a letter from Jia Yun. The shipyard has started to build ships and at the same time the land has been cleared. ”
"Really? Let's go outside, you tell me more about it, and I'm worried about the news over there. ”
