The originally lively and noisy banquet suddenly quieted down!

As long as you are not a fool, you can clearly feel the dissatisfaction in the old lady's heart at this time.

The eyes of everyone present looked at Mrs. Xing, who was laughing, and they were silent.

"Old lady, that's the collective examination of the clan organization!"

Mrs. Xing was prepared, and said with a smile: "This time, at least a dozen clan students went south together, and Lin Duan, the only son of the Lin family, also followed!" ”

Speaking of this, she paused and continued: "The lord saw that his aunt was worried that it would be inappropriate for Lin Duan to return to the south at a young age, so he simply let Zhu'er go back to the south with him, and by the way, he took the examination and took a try!" ”

"Really?"

The old lady softened her tone when she heard this, nodded and smiled, "That's very good!" ”

The matter involves her nephew Lin Duan, so she naturally won't pursue it too much, otherwise if Lin Ruhai and Jia Min hear the rumors, wouldn't they be even more alienated from the Rong Mansion?

"Old lady, my family's angry Pan'er also went back to Nan for an internship this time!"

Aunt Xue said with a smile at this time: "He was finally able to graduate, and my heart can be completely relieved!" ”

These words caused a lot of laughter, and the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly returned to its previous activity.

Xue Pan is a wonderful, I don't know which one of the present, when I heard that this guy finally graduated, I couldn't help but have a burst of coke.

In this way, Jia Song's quiet return to the south to participate in the imperial examination can be regarded as an uncovered.

With a foil like Xue Pan, what is said about Jia Song's young age is not good for him to participate in the imperial examination early, I am afraid that the old lady and Mrs. Wang will not be able to speak.

Jia Song's performance is much stronger than Xue Pan's, and even Xue Pan has graduated to participate in internship activities, so that Jia Song, a boy with good performance, can feel the cruelty of the imperial examination in advance.

It's just that after returning to Rongqing Hall, the old lady's mood is not very good, even Jia Song and Lin Duan, two boys who are just in their early tens, have returned to the south to participate in the imperial examination, and Baoyu is still nested in the backyard with no future, no matter how she thinks about it, she can't be happy.

Baoyu should be motivated!

Even if she is optimistic about Baoyu's future, but at present, Jia Song's performance as a concubine is much stronger than Baoyu, and it is not easy for the old lady to continue to control Baoyu and let him continue to mess around in Rongqing Hall.

Mrs. Wang also thought about it here, just as the eldest master guessed, when she first heard that Jia Song also returned to the south to participate in the imperial examination, she was in a very bad mood, and even wanted to send someone to intercept and kill her halfway.

But it's a pity that Zhou Rui, the most powerful foreign manager under her, is nowhere to be found, and even if she has an idea, she can't find a competent person to implement it.

Looking back, like the old lady, she remembered Baoyu's upbringing, and Mrs. Wang, who was stimulated, decided that no matter how the old lady objected, she must send Baoyu to study in clan studies this time.

This time, it's just that Jia Song, a little cub, quietly went south to take the exam, if it is another two years, I am afraid that Jia Lan will also start the exam, and then Baoyu will still have nothing, and his face is really not good-looking.

No matter how ruthless Mrs. Wang's heart is, it is impossible to attack her grandson, just to save the face of her second son.

Fortunately, Jia Huan's little cub was studying in the Baigong School, and basically lost the possibility of taking the exam, otherwise if this little cub came out, Mrs. Wang felt that she would definitely go crazy.

"Master, Baoyu must go to school!"

In the evening, when the second master of Zheng returned to the house, Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to say: "Brother Chun of the big house has gone back to the south to take the examination, and Brother Lan is estimated to return to the south in two years, and Baoyu will not be able to delay it any longer!" ”

"What does the old lady think?"

The second master of Zheng didn't rush to express his position, he was disappointed in Baoyu, especially when there was an old lady in the middle, he didn't want to conflict with the old lady because of Baoyu's matter.

"Today, when my sister-in-law mentioned Brother Song's return to the south for the examination, the old lady's face was very bad, and she was obviously very touched, I will ask tomorrow!"

Mrs. Wang said carefully: "If the old lady lets her go, the old man will arrange Baoyu to study in the clan!" ”

"As long as he wants, he can go to the clan school at any time!"

There was no joy on the face of the second master of Zheng, and he said indifferently; "I'm afraid that Baoyu has no intention of studying!"

In his heart, it was a pity that the third son, Jia Huan, was willing to work hard, just to avoid the suppression of Mrs. Wang, he could only learn crafts and martial arts in the Baigong School, but he could not enter the official position with the imperial examination.

Otherwise, with that kid's learning momentum in the Baigong Academy, maybe he would have the strength to follow those students back to the south now, participate in the imperial examination and try to take the Tongsheng and Xiucai exams.

Jia Huan had been in the Baigong Academy for more than four years at this time, and he was almost enrolled in the same year as Xue Dadu.

Unlike Xue Da Fool, Jia Huan went to school with a very purpose, majoring in martial arts and minoring in 100 skills, and both talent and diligence left Xue Da Fool more than a dozen streets.

Jia Huan started his martial arts training in one year, and after three years of further study, he was already quite popular, but he was still young and had not yet shown his edge.

At the same time, he has already minored in three hundred crafts, this guy has spent a lot of energy on the two crafts of carpentry and blacksmithing, and the other has spent more energy on business, which is much stronger than the half-baked Xue Da fool.

These, Jia Huan was not exposed to anyone in the mansion, he also knew Mrs. Wang's full malice, and at the same time, he also understood his own identity and status, once there were signs of overshadowing Baoyu, he would usher in unimaginable severe suppression and restrictions.

If Master Zheng Er and Jia Zhu hadn't been paying attention silently, they wouldn't have known that Jia Huan had already learned something, and he was an out-and-out miscellaneous talent.

The father and son also felt quite a pity, with Jia Huan's attitude of studying so hard, if he specialized in the right way to the imperial examination such as the Four Books and Five Classics, he might be able to get the Zhongjin Shi before thirty, and then it would be no problem to pick up the lintel of the second room.

But they also know that this is impossible.

It is impossible for the old lady and Mrs. Wang to watch Jia Huan's scenery overwhelm Baoyu, and what awaits Jia Huan at that time is not a bright future, but a terrifying suppression and even a life-threatening design.

The father and son were able to keep Jia Huan for a while, but they couldn't take care of it all the time, in order to avoid a tragedy, they could only watch a good seedling like Jia Huan waste on miscellaneous studies.

Secretly, Jia Zhu asked his son Jia Lan to make friends with Jia Huan, and the uncle and nephew became good friends, hoping that no matter who developed first in the future, they would never forget their friends.

I don't know how Mrs. Wang discussed it with the old lady, and finally the old lady agreed to let Baoyu go to school, but she still made a request, if Baoyu felt too tired, she could rest at home for a day or two, and she didn't have to stay in the school to study all the time.

No matter how Baoyu cried this time, the old lady and Mrs. Wang didn't follow his wishes, and even scared Baoyu to send him to the second master of politics if they made trouble again, and let Baoyu settle down at once.

The second master didn't know about this, otherwise he would have to be angry, and he has now become a big demon king who scares children, right?

waited for the old lady and Mrs. Wang to coax Baoyu well, and then let the second master send Baoyu to school.

"Study hard, don't waste the hard work of the old lady and your mother!"

For Jia Baoyu, the second master of Zheng still has some expectations in his heart, no matter how he says it, he is the son of his own son born with jade, and he listens to the old lady talking about great achievements every day, and he doesn't have so many ideas in his heart.

It's just that he doesn't dare to expect too much from Baoyu, this kid is really a little squeamish by the old lady, and there is nothing the second master can do.

In this way, Jia Baoyu restarted his school career.

This time, the second master of politics has a lot of eyes, and he doesn't let Baoyu's side of the school at all, even if there is anything, Baoyu will handle it himself, so as not to let those little guys ruin the atmosphere of the school.

Baoyu's life in the school was boring, and for a guy who didn't like to read Confucian knowledge such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, it was quite difficult to bury himself in the scriptures with a group of classmates all day long.

What's even more difficult is that the rules of the school are very strict, and the little guy around him can't enter the school to help, even if he has any idea of skipping school, he has no ability to act and has no choice but to give up.

In the school, academics are the most important, but no one will deliberately curry favor with Baoyu because of Baoyu's identity, and even because Baoyu does not seek progress, he is faintly rejected by his classmates in the school.

But all those who enter the primary school hall specializing in the imperial examination, are the children of the Jia clan and relatives who have ambitions to perform on the right path of the imperial examination, and the learning atmosphere of the school is quite strong, and the results of many years of operation have made it a little bit of the atmosphere of the academy outside.

It's just that Jia family studies have always been very low-key, and there is no learning atmosphere of promoting family studies, if outsiders don't have a deep understanding, they can't detect the mystery at all, and they automatically exclude all students who don't want to learn.

If it weren't for Baoyu's special identity, I'm afraid that Mr. Xuetang would have issued a warning as soon as possible, and if several warnings were invalid and the learning progress had not been able to go up, he would even be expelled directly.

The second master of the government comes to supervise the operation of the clan school from time to time, and the gentleman here is not polite at all, and he acts according to the rules of the school, and many students have been cleaned up in the past few years.

Being removed from the school, no matter where it is placed in which era, is a rather humiliating thing, but fortunately, there is still a hundred engineering schools that can accept it, otherwise I am afraid that because of the retreat, many families in the clan will make trouble.

The old lady and Mrs. Wang didn't know Baoyu's performance in the school, they saw Baoyu going to and from school on time every day, and thought that Baoyu had learned very well, and they were all happy and smiling, and kept rewarding Baoyu's room with good things, and Baoyu didn't have the heart to appreciate it, and some things that didn't matter were cheaper than the beautiful maids in the room.

Only the second master of Zheng, who has been paying attention to the clan science, knows what Baoyu is doing in the school, and he is not much angry in his heart, he has already done a good job in his heart, knowing that Baoyu is likely to fish for three days and dry nets for two days when he goes to school, and the current situation is just a fulfillment of what he wants.

Time passed in a hurry, and soon several months passed, and the good news from Jinling soon spread to Rongfu: Lin Duan, the young master of Lin Mansion, and the third master of Chung won Xiucai at the same time, one ranked at the top and the other was at the end, and at the same time, there were three other students from the Jia clan in the capital who were admitted to Xiucai, and the house was full of joy for a while.
