Jia Chen was stunned, and he was slightly happy in his heart, it seems that Jia Dairu wants to introduce himself to Jia Zheng!

I am only nine years old this year, and I want to stand out without the protection of an elder with status? It's a pipe dream!

And Jia Zheng is the only reliable elder in Ning Rong's second mansion, except for Jia's mother.

Jia Zheng, whose name is Cunzhou, is the highest authority in the Rongguo Mansion except for Jia's mother, but like Jia's mother, he does not often manage the mundane affairs of the mansion.

He is upright, humble and kind, has a clean voice, is a corporal of courtesy and virtuous, helps the weak and helps the poor, and has a great ancestral style, but he is lost in pedantic.

He wanted to be a good official, but he didn't understand the world, he only bowed and bowed, sat all day long, looked like a clay sculpture, and was repeatedly deceived by others, making him infamous.

For such a pedantic and incompetent person, Jia Chen can't say that he is disgusted.

At least Jia Zheng's character is not bad, but his ability is not good, he is always hypocritical, full of benevolence and morality, and high-sounding, but when he gets drunk, he will show his stuffing, and sometimes he will lose his words after drinking and make some improper jokes.

Jia Chen followed Jia Dairu to Rongxi Hall, and Jia Zhengzheng was against several Qing scholars chanting poems.

When he saw Jia Dairu coming to the door, Jia Zheng got up and gave a salute, leaned sideways to give up his seat, and greeted:

"Master Xueli, you are a rare guest, please take a seat!"

Jia Dairu smiled:

"Master Zheng, joy descended from the sky, our Jia family has produced a good seedling for reading!"

Jia Zheng was stunned when he heard this, looked at Jia Chen beside Jia Dairu, and asked with a smile:

"What is the grandfather talking about this handsome poster? Our Jia family has many branches, and I can't recognize them all, but I don't know which son-in-law this is? What is the last name? ”

Jia Dairu introduced:

"This is the only son of Jia Jia Lao Liu, surnamed Jia Mingchen."

Jia Zheng frowned slightly, his face showed displeasure, Jia Zheng was his distant cousin, but he died of Hualiu disease, which was really immoral and insulting the lintel.

Jia Dairu saw Jia Zheng's displeased face, and knew that he hated Jia Zheng, so he hurriedly praised:

"At a young age, Jia Chen has already memorized the Four Books and Five Classics, and he is really the only young talent in our Jia family!"

Jia Zheng's face was a little pale, and he said in surprise: "How old is Chen'er this year?" Can you memorize so many books from the Four Books and the Five Classics? ”

Jia Chen said: "Master Huizheng, the little nephew is nine years old. ”

Jia Zheng's eyelids twitched and he gasped.

The surrounding Qingke also changed their faces and sighed.

Jia Zheng wondered if Jia Dairu was old and confused, or if he was deceived by Jia Chen, so he would say such an incredible big thing.

"My grandfather has already been admitted to Chen'er?" General Jia Zheng asked suspiciously.

Jia Dairu smiled:

"I asked him three questions, and he answered them all perfectly, which was really eye-opening and overjoyed."

Jia Zheng looked Jia Chen up and down with a suspicious gaze and said:

"Then I'll take the school test again."

Jia Chen said calmly: "Please ask Master Zheng to ask the question." ”

Jia Zheng paced back and forth a few steps, stroked his goatee, and after a moment of silence, asked:

"The petals of the red flower, the orchid is still there. It's a pity, why should I leave? What is the second half? ”

Jia Chen blurted out:

"The heart of the safflower, the language of Yingying. It's a pity, but what's wrong? The safflower is drunk, and Mo is over. It's a pity, so what's the point? ”

Jia Zheng's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and praised:

"Good! Word for word, no surprise! ”

Jia Dairu pursed his lips a few times, and couldn't help but remind:

"Master Zheng, this is not the content of the Four Books and Five Classics, but a passage in the Book of Songs."

"Uh......" Jia Zhengdeng was speechless, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, his face was so embarrassed that he turned slightly red, and coughed lightly:

"It's me who remembers it wrong, I thought it was a passage from "The Mean"."

The surrounding Qingke couldn't help but want to laugh, but they were moths attached to the Jia family to survive, cheating on eating and drinking in Jiafu, how dare they offend Jia Zheng, so they had to purse their lips and hold back.

His face was flushed, and he didn't dare to show a smile.

Jia Zheng was embarrassed, hurriedly changed the topic, glanced at the crowd, and asked:

"You are all well-educated people, can you comment on my nephew's talent?"

Qingke Zhan Guang hurriedly patted his ass and said:

"He is a model for my nephew to be quick to think and read, and to be a model for us readers!"

Shan Renren on the side immediately echoed:

"What Brother Zhan said is very true, Gongzi Chen is rich in learning and talented, which is really admirable."

Cheng Rixing was not far behind, and said with a sneer:

"Chen Gongzi's talent is world-famous, and he will be famous one day in the capital, he will rise to the top in his year, and he will be able to shine on the lintel of Jia's house and live up to the glory of his ancestors."

The rest of the Qing guests also greeted each other one after another, and the song was patted on the horse.

Although they tried to curry favor with Jia Zheng, they also felt that Jia Chen was extraordinary, and he had memorized the Four Books and Five Classics at a young age, even if he was called a prodigy.

Hearing the praise of the guests, Jia Zheng was fluttering and intoxicated.

The Qingkes touted Jia Chen, which was equivalent to touting him as an uncle.

Jia Zheng likes to listen to these flattering words the most, and these so-called Qing guests rely on patting horses, flattery, and helping idleness to have fun, so they have become Jia Zheng's guests.

In fact, most of these Qingke are not even children, but they have studied for a few years, do what they like, accompany Jia Zheng to chant the wind and the moon, be vassally elegant, talk about the past and the present, and eat and drink in Jiafu.

Jia Chen was very disgusted with these vampires who were parasitic on the Jia family, but now that they had Jia Zheng's support, Jia Chen didn't say anything for the time being, and could only wait for the future when he took charge of the Jia family, and then clean up the portal.

Jia Zheng smiled proudly:

"You have an overreputation, Chen'er must not be arrogant and arrogant, you must be vigilant day and night, sleep all night, and strive for the title of the gold list as soon as possible, so as to comfort the soul of Ning Rong and the second prince in the sky."

Jia Chen saluted again:

"The little nephew must keep in mind that he must live up to the expectations of the political master."

Jia Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:

"It's too raw to call Master Zheng, you can call me second uncle."

"Okay, second uncle!" Jia Chen changed his words.

Jia Zheng was relieved, although Jia Chen was not taught by him, but after all, he was a distant relative of Rongfu, and he still felt honored.

Think about his unsuccessful son Jia Baoyu again, compared with Jia Chen, he is far behind.

How good would it be if Jia Chen was his own son?

Jia Zheng sighed in his heart, looked at Jia Dairu, and asked with concern:

"Chen'er hasn't taken the county exam yet, has she?"

The prefectural examination is the first of the children's examinations, and only those who pass it can obtain the qualification for the prefectural examination.

Jia Dairu said: "Not yet." ”

Jia Zheng earnestly admonished:

"Our Jia family has finally produced such an amazing and brilliant offspring, and we must cultivate it carefully."

Jia Dairu said with a full mouth:

"This is natural, it's just a matter of the county trial registration of the county trial to protect the knot, and you still need to ask the political master for help."

In addition to registering with the county rite room, filling in the name, place of origin, age, and three generations of resumes, it is also necessary to obtain the county's birth insurance to ensure that it has no impersonation, concealment, substitution, false name, innocence, and non-preferential advocacy of the children and grandchildren of the soap subordinate, before they are allowed to take the exam.

Jia Zheng immediately said: "Don't worry about this matter, I will personally guarantee Chen'er." ”

Jia Dairu smiled: "If this is the case, then the old man will be relieved." ”

Jia Chen said, "Thank you second uncle for guaranteeing me." ”

Jia Zheng smiled:

"No need to say thank you, the family doesn't need to say two words, if you can pass the imperial examination, it will be the glory of our Jia family!"

While he was talking, a small guy suddenly ran in from outside and said:

"Second Master Qiqi, Miss Lin of Jiangnan Master Lin's family has already disembarked from the Tongzhou Wharf, and there is also a Jinshi Master surnamed Jia who is nicknamed Yucun.

Miss Lin was knowledgeable and courteous, and first sent a subordinate to the house to communicate. ”

Jia Zheng hurriedly ordered:

"Yu'er came from afar, trekking through mountains and rivers, the journey was tiring, and she sent a sedan chair to meet her."

"Yes!" The little guy took the order and left.

Jia Dairu said: "The old man has a family member to visit, and the old man is inconvenient here, so he will leave first." ”

Jia Zheng said:

"It's rare for the master to come to the door once, and he has also cultivated Chen'er, a young talent, which can be described as hard work, and it is now close to noon, please stay with Chen'er for dinner!"
