Chapter 159: Killing Intent
The five exams of the county exam are not consecutive. The first field is the main field, the admission range is wide, and those who are fluent in writing can be admitted, and those who are admitted will be qualified for the government examination. As for the following four sessions, it is up to the candidates to decide whether they will take the test or not.
If the candidate feels that he has the level, he can take all five exams, and each exam is determined by the results of the previous one, and the first place will sit in the first position opposite the examiner, which is equivalent to brushing the face and brushing the experience.
The last one who still sits in the first position is the head of the county case, and the subsequent government and hospital examinations can be exempted, which is equivalent to getting the fame of Xiucai in advance. The top 10 in the examination is the "top 10 in the county", which is an honor, and when it comes to the government examination, you can still sit in the front row.
Xia Qi is relatively smart, and he used to study very seriously. During this time, with Mr. Cui's guidance, it was naturally a higher level. His goal now is no longer to show talent, but to be the head of the case, and to be born.
So he's going to participate in all five of them.
As a result, the hearts of the Xia family also followed him in and out of the examination room.
To tell the truth, except for Mrs. Xia's hatred for the "little three" who destroyed her family, the Xia family has an indelible hatred and disgust for the third room, Xia Zhengshen and Xia Zhenghao are still looking forward to the third room after they split up and have no interests involved. After all, even if everyone is separated, they are still a family. In ancient times, when the concept of clan was very strong, one was prosperous and one was lost.
For example, regarding the old lady's gift of Xia Yuan and Xia Jin to Zhu Youcheng as concubines, she did not discuss it with Xia Zhengshen and Xia Zhenghao. When the two learned about it later, Xia Zhengshen was still weighing interests, but Xia Zhenghao immediately objected.
Because the children of the Xia family want to participate in the imperial examination and go out. If any one of them has a future success. But there is an older sister or sister who is a concubine, and it is not good for the future of fame.
But before he could explain these interests to the old lady clearly, Xia Zhengshen made up his mind and agreed to the family matter.
His reasons are very simple, first, the dowry given by the Zhu Mansion is very rich, so rich that it is about the same as his existing property; Second, with the care of Zhu Fu, Xia Qi may be able to go through the back door in the children's life test. It's time to make a show.
Summer prayer has never been a good student. Not only Xia Zhengshen, but also Mrs. Xia, who treats Xia Prayer as an eyeball, also understands it in her heart. If you want Xia Qi to come back with a show, I'm afraid it's very difficult.
Giving up a concubine in exchange for so much silver and a talent and fame is really a great thing. Later, Xia Yuan was favored. gave birth to a son, and he is the son-in-law of the eldest son of Zhu. And that's not all. How can such a good thing be extrapolated? What's more, Xia Yuan followed Zhu Dagongzi, wearing gold and silver. Eating and drinking spicy food, I don't know how many times stronger than marrying a flat-headed people, he loves his daughter. How could it be a harm to a daughter?
As for the future of the second-room Xia Qi and the third-room Xia Qi, what does it matter to him?
Xia Zhenghao heard this. Immediately muted his voice.
What Prince Zhu wants to accept is the girl in the big room and the third room. He, the second house, is a family member, and he has no say in family affairs at all.
Xia Zhenghao returned depressed.
Xia Zhenghao is still like this, and Xia Zhengqian and Shu, who treat their daughter as treasures, are even more popular. The two of them sent Xia Qi into the examination room with the front foot, and went to the old lady of Xia Mansion with the back foot. I don't know what to say, Xia Zhengqian, who has always been gentle and elegant, returned home and was so angry that he dropped his cup.
Xia Jin, who knew the kind nature of his parents, didn't want to make any guarantees to them to calm their hearts, otherwise when Zhu Youcheng and Mrs. Xia had an accident, they would be the first to think of her. Moreover, now is a critical juncture related to Xia Qi's future, she thinks that no matter how worried her parents are, they will endure it until after the county exam - by then, all problems will not be a problem.
But I don't want to, in the minds of Xia Zhengqian and Shu's family, the future of the son is important, and the marriage of the daughter's life is equally important. They simply couldn't wait for their son's scientific expedition to end before they came to consider their daughter's problem.
Xia Jin had to lie again: "Father, mother, my brother and I have written a trustee to take to the capital to ask for Xuan Pinghou Old Lady, she once said that if we have anything to do, just go to her, she will definitely help us." Although Zhu Zhifu is the biggest official in Linjiang City, he is nothing in front of Xuanping Houfu. As soon as the old lady spoke, they didn't dare to come nonsense, so you can rest assured, this family business will not work. What's more, my brother is at a critical juncture now, and if you are like this, I am afraid that it will affect my brother's mood. ”
However, these words are somewhat false. The officials of the world protect each other, and the prefect of Zhu is a five-grade official, will the Xuanping Houfu offend them for the sake of a flat-headed common man?
So Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi are still irritable, but they have no way to call for help, so they can only worry about themselves. However, in front of Xia Qi, he suppressed his anger and did not distract Xia Qi.
The time schedule of the county exam is relatively tight, and one test is taken every other day. Just when Xia Qi was taking the fourth county test, news came from Luo Qian's side, saying that the matter had been done.
Xia Jin's heart settled.
In the past few days, Xia Qi's scientific expedition, her parents were upset, she never went out, and stayed at home honestly; And over there, Luo Qian had to lay out and take medicine, and he was busy when he wanted to, so the two of them haven't seen each other since that day.
Hearing the message from Lu Liang, Xia Jin decided to meet him and ask about the specific situation. The meeting place is naturally the house next door. Xia Jin doesn't need to change his clothes, he wears women's clothes to climb over the wall, and turns it back after one meal or two meals, which is more convenient and faster than going out.
But she didn't want to, as soon as she passed the word through Lu Liang, she asked Luo Qian to meet sometime the next day, and she received news from the big house, saying that something had happened to Xia Yuan. After the struggle was ineffective and she was locked in the room, she was persuaded by Xia Zhengshen's nagging day and night, and she secretly hanged herself while people were not paying attention.
Rao is Xia Jin has always been calm and indifferent, but he was still shocked by the news and stood up: "Have you been rescued?" ”
"It's fine. The eldest lord was afraid that the second girl would not want to do something stupid, and finally offended the Zhu Mansion, so he sent people to guard it day and night. This morning, the second girl coaxed her subordinates to leave. However, the man didn't dare to leave for long for fear of the eldest master's punishment, and he came back in time to save the second girl's life. I heard that it almost didn't work. Aunt Lu said.
Xia Jin breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's good." ”
In the big house and second room of Xiafu, she has the most good impression of Xia You and Xia Yuan. And Xia Yuan was affected by her, and she didn't solve it for Xia Qi's sake. If Xia Yuan died, she would definitely have a troubled conscience.
I hope Xia Qi will be more competitive, and he will win the first place in the last two games as always.
Xia Jin thought.
Mr. Cui is really a man who is famous. With his guidance some time ago, Xia Qi was invincible in the county exam, except for the first one, which was a randomly arranged seat, and the last two were all in the first position. As long as he plays normally and wins the first place in the fourth and fifth games, he can be exempted from the government test and the hospital test, and get the fame of Xiucai in advance, Xia Jin decided to take the life of Mrs. Xia.
That old woman, I really can't stay.
"You tell Uncle Lu, don't say anything about the meeting of Prince Luo, just say thank you on my behalf. I'll wait until my brother finishes the exam. Xia Jin commanded.
Now she is full of murderous energy, and it is really not suitable to meet Luo Qian. Drugged and killed his grandmother, this kind of thing is difficult for anyone to accept. Xia Jin decided not to let anyone know, even the calamus who was obedient to her, and Luo Qian, who fell in love with her.
Aunt Lu agreed and withdrew.
What makes Xia Jin very satisfied is that Luo Qian is not like a hairy young man who tastes love for the first time, always thinking about being together all the time. After listening to Lu Liang's words, he didn't have any emotions to complain, and only asked Lu Liang to tell Xia Jin that he would send someone to keep an eye on the follow-up movements of the Zhu Mansion.
Finally, the last test of the county exam was completed. The next day, the list was announced, and Xia Qi won the county case.
The sound of firecrackers "banged" in front of Xia's house, describing the haggard Xia Zhengqian and his wife smiling for the first time in several days.
Xia Qi in the big room and Xia Qi in the second room also successfully passed the county exam and are ready to participate in the next government exam.
It was the middle of the night, and Xia Jin, who had already fallen asleep, quietly got up, changed into night clothes, jumped on the wall, and ran towards the south of the city. (To be continued)
ps: I was going home in the morning, but I suddenly received a phone call that my uncle was hospitalized. So he ran 700 kilometers back and forth on the highway and went to another city to visit the sick. It was seven o'clock in the evening when I got home. My brain is dizzy, and I can get so many yards in a few hours while sitting in front of the computer, and the five hundred words I owe will make up for tomorrow. I'm sorry for updating it so late and making everyone wait.
When I got sick last year, not only my own family, but also my brothers and sisters in my mother-in-law's family were also very concerned, and I was very touched to help find a doctor and medicine, so I also wanted to repay this family affection.
I've been tired for a long time, so I'll rest for two days, and then I'll add more to He's wall, thank you for your rewards and love.
Let's read the text, I went in vain~
