Rongguo Mansion, in a warm pavilion in the west courtyard, Xichun pulled Jia Chen into a warm pavilion.

"Into the painting, don't pour tea~"

The room is not as atmospheric as that of Rongqingtang, but it is also gentle, and it is surrounded by pink decorations.

A delicate little book is covered with brushes, and there is a thick stack of rice paper and colorful pigments next to it.

Seeing this, Jia Chen couldn't help but think of these girls in Jiafu, who were cultivated according to the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Yuanchun is the qin, the maid is holding the qin, Yingchun is the chess, the maid is the chess, the Tanchun is the book, the maid is the servant, and the cherishing spring is the painting, and the little maid is called into the painting.

Jia Chen saw the stack of rice paper, as if he had moved a pen, so he smiled and said, "What does Sister Xichun paint on weekdays?" ”

Xichun commanded the maid in the room to pour tea and water, and was busy for a while, so he casually coped with it, "It's nothing, what do you think of painting, my skills are still shallow, and I haven't gotten the three flavors yet, so I'm just smiling and generous~"

Hearing this, Jia Chen became a little interested, and in the future, she painted the Grand View Garden for Grandma Liu, but there was a lot of ink, a few volumes of extremely delicate ink treasures, so she got up from the chair and walked towards the book eucalyptus.

"Brother Chen, the tea is not good, don't be ...... it"

Xichun just took the tea bowl from the painting, just turned around, but found that Jia Chen went to the side of the book, as if to see her painting, Xichun was stunned at first, and then seemed to think of something, the little face changed slightly, and the feet kicked fast, first Jia Chen came to the side of the book, took the rice paper of the book, hid it behind him, and stammered a little and said: "Brother, there is nothing to see, I just let the tea brewed in the painting, you go and taste it~"

Jia Chen's outstretched hand paused, he saw that Xichun's little face was a little red, quite nervous, as if he was afraid of his own jokes, shook his head and smiled, stretched out his hand and knocked on the other party's head, "Don't look at it, when you enter the Tao in the future, you will definitely paint a picture for me~"

When Xichun heard this, he didn't speak, Qiao Shengsheng stood there, just nodding like a chicken eating rice, but his hands were always behind his back, Jia Chen smiled lightly when he saw this, and turned back to the official hat chair in the middle of the lobby.

Xichun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Jia Chen leave, and quickly turned around and hid the rice paper in his hand in a cabinet, and locked it with his hands and feet.

Looking at Jia Chen, who was smiling at her on the side, her little face couldn't help but turn red again.

Cultivated since childhood, coupled with a good talent, at a young age, Xichun's painting skills are actually very good, but the things on the painting are ......

"Brother Chen~"

Xi Chunjiao snorted.

At this moment, I heard movement outside the door again, but it was Sister Feng, Li Kun and Yingtan Erchun, Daiyu and Baochai walked in one after another.

"Master Hou, the old lady called us over, the four girls are too young, I'm afraid they won't take good care of them~"

Seeing that another group of people came, Xichun pouted, in fact, she didn't want to share the time alone with Jia Chen with a few people, but seeing that everyone had already entered the door, she couldn't say anything, and greeted a few people to sit down.

Daiyu seemed to have guessed Xichun's thoughts, and whispered two words in her ear, which made Xichun's cheeks red, but where Daiyu couldn't see, a trace of darkness flashed in her eyes.

There is such a group of people coming to this hulala, and Xichun's room is lively, but in the face of Jia Chen, they don't know what to say, there are many people, and the atmosphere is a little embarrassing, Jia Chen also found out about this situation, except for Daiyu and Xichun, he hasn't seen many others.

Last time, I brought a lot of things, as well as Cailuan, Xiangling, Jia Baoyu, and Jia Lan, so that he was not the only man in the whole room, but this time it was different, and for a while, Yingying Yanyan was a little uncomfortable.

However, with Sister Feng here, it was not cold, but I heard Sister Feng say with a smile: "Brother Chen, you are a busy person, you can't see it ordinarily, you finally came to visit, and you didn't even say a word, could it be that we are all man-eating tigresses??" ”

Hearing this, Li Kun also smiled and said: "Don't involve us, we don't have the rigidity of your second grandmother, if there is really a tigress in the house, there is only one~"

"A tigress from Southern Province~"

Daiyu added again, hearing this, several little girls laughed, Sister Feng is famous in the two mansions, not only those old women and maids are afraid of him on weekdays, even his man, Jia Lian is also afraid, and now there is no one around the second master of Lian to fill the house, isn't it a tigress?

Jia Chen didn't speak on the side, in the end, it was a relative who was separated by several rooms, plus he didn't see much, the relationship was not close, Daiyu could joke, but he couldn't.

Xiangling, who was standing next to Jia Chen, also covered her snicker, and followed Daiyu for three years, but she knew how majestic the second grandmother in front of her was on weekdays.

Sister Feng saw that Jia Chen didn't talk, her mind changed, she made this joke, not only to enliven the slightly embarrassing atmosphere, but also to let the brother in front of her speak, after all, she brought a few girls over to serve the uncle in front of her.

But as soon as she thought about it, she guessed the reason, although Jia Chen had met them a few times, but they were not familiar with each other, there would be a process of getting familiar with each other, Jia Chen was really not good at talking now, if it was replaced by Baoyu who was with them on weekdays, I was afraid that she would laugh out loud at this moment.

At this moment, I saw a little bean ding walk in, but it was Li Kun's son Jia Lan.

Seeing the little guy, Jia Chen beckoned.

When Jia Lan saw Jia Chen, he was still a little scared, he only saw Jia Chen twice, unlike Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Cong, who could be seen every day.

However, when Li Kun saw Jia Chen calling Jia Lan over, a trace of strangeness floated in his eyes, he squatted down, and said in his ear: "He is the champion Hou Jiachen, didn't you say that you will also become a big hero like him in the future?" It's such a great opportunity now, but you should take advantage of it~"

Hearing Li Kun's words, Jia Lan's little head nodded slightly, and with small steps, he walked towards Jia Chen.

"Jia Lan meets the champion Hou~"

Seeing the appearance of Xiaodouding's little ghost, Jia Chen couldn't help but be happy, the little guy was taken care of very well by Li Kun, and his personality was not like Jia Huan and Jia Cong, who upheld the style of a scholar.

Thinking of the two governments in the future, this little guy passed the imperial examination, which is quite a bit of a sign of prosperity, and it is indeed not simple.

"I heard you're studying? Which one are you reading now? ”

Jia Lan stood up straight and replied with a glance: "The fourth book of poetry, tweeting deer, eating wild apples, I have guests, drumming and blowing sheng~"

Listening to Jia Lan's reply, he couldn't help but think of an interesting story, but it was Jia Baoyu's brother - Li Gui, one day Jia Zheng was furious, planning to punish Jia Baoyu and teach a lesson, and asked about the progress of reading, Li Gui replied like this, "What young deer chirps, lotus leaf duckweed", which caused the whole house to laugh.

Jia clan studies, by the Jia family's old talent Jia Dairu is in charge, but its teaching level is average, when the Rongguo Mansion still exists, the entire jade generation has never produced a scholar who has entered the officialdom through the imperial examination, even if he planned to study back then, he never considered going to the clan study, because he knew that it was just a waste of time, he couldn't learn anything useful, and the learning environment was relatively poor, so it was not as good as his own courtyard~

"You can't learn anything in ethnography~"

"If you want to take the road of the imperial examination, you can't waste time in the family studies, there is a way that the famous teacher is a high apprentice, Jia Dairu, who is in charge of the family studies, is not good, just an old showman, in terms of talent and learning, not even as good as your mother~"

Hearing Jia Chen's words, Jia Lan was slightly stunned, his mother could recite poems and sentences, he knew it, but he didn't expect that Jia Chen would speak so highly of her, so he turned his head to look at his mother.

Li Kun was a little embarrassed to be praised by Jia Chen, although she is the daughter of the country's son of the priest wine, she is extraordinary, and she has also read books, but there is a little regret, she has not read the books about the imperial examination system, after all, her daughter's family does not need these things.

"Brother Chen, I'm smiling, I haven't read articles on the imperial examination system, I've only read some enlightenment books and female precepts~"

Hearing Li Kun say this, Jia Chen smiled and shook his head, even if he didn't read much, his level was better than that of a Xiucai, after all, Kao Xiucai did not dabble in the eight shares, but only about the silent writing of the Four Books and Five Classics, and maybe add a poem at the end.

"Although I didn't take the imperial examination, but I still know what to take the Tongsheng test, sister-in-law Li doesn't have to be too humble, in fact, all the sisters are also extraordinary, if you can take the imperial examination, maybe you can shine~"

Everyone is willing to listen to good words, not to mention the words from a young hero, and the girls here are very happy in their hearts.

Especially those girls with big ambitions, such as Tanchun, Baochai, Daiyu and others, she was full of pride in Jia Chen's affirmation.

However, there was a hint of discoloration in Li Kun's eyes, these eldest ladies who have not experienced the ups and downs of life, where do they know the sinister officialdom, how many capable people with lofty ideals since ancient times, and those with excellent talents and emotions are like carp crossing the river, but how many can really stand out in the ups and downs of this sea of eunuchs?

In many cases, it does not mean that if you are talented, you can overcome obstacles, go all the way forward, and become famous, but more often, it depends on a person's family background and connections.

This is a very real problem, even if it is a scholar who is named the champion Lang, he will not be transferred to the Hanlin Academy to be a Hanlin Shujishi, but it is just a false title from the sixth grade, and even many will be the second place in the list and the third place Tanhua Langchao, that is the first place in the country, even if it is so, there are a lot of cats, not to mention the general Jinshi.

How much room is there to maneuver? If you count it down, it may be unbelievable~

Therefore, in the officialdom, only a small number of people can stand out from the thousands of scholars without relying on the support of the family, if they only rely on themselves to get ahead, to a position that is prominent enough, difficult, very difficult, not as a few girls here think, ordinary people are just stopping at a state and a county, and they can't come to the foot of the world at all.

And a young champion like Jia Chen, there are not many throughout the ages, and even he is the youngest, even Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty is not as good as him, and compared with a champion, his title is even more difficult to climb.

He said this to a greater extent, but it was just a coaxing word, how could it be so easy?

In fact, things are like that, even if it is a person like Lin Ruhai, his talent and ability are far several times higher than Jia Zheng, if there is no intervention of Jia Chen, he may die when he is in Yangzhou~

How can officialdom be so easy to mix? Jia Zheng, who was born in the Rongguo Mansion, if he didn't have the big backer of the Rongguo Mansion, he would have been squeezed by his colleagues in the Ministry of Industry and would not be able to gain a foothold.

At this moment, Lin Daiyu spoke on the side and said, "Brother Chen, haven't you read the Four Books and Five Classics and the articles of the Eight Strands of Jushi before, so what kind of fire is it now?" ”

Jia Chen smiled and shook his head, "The imperial examination is not achieved overnight, nor is it three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, ordinary people, I am afraid that it will take more than ten years to improve, I have been to Northern Xinjiang for several years, and the things have been returned to Zhou Gong almost a long time ago, where do you remember anything?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng began to talk on the side again, only to hear Sister Feng say with a smile: "Don't talk about this, now Brother Chen is already a marquis, and he is only a champion at most, how can he have such dignity and rest with the country~"

Speaking of this, everyone seemed to have opened the chatterbox, and you and I started talking word by word.

I only heard Baochai say: "Although Brother Chen, now he is famous in the world, but the suffering suffered in this is also very comparable, on the battlefield, the sword and sword, it will easily take people's lives, in the past few years on the nine sides, Brother Yu, what has been experienced, even if it is any scholar or even a slaughterer in the court, which one can catch it?" ”

When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help but think to herself, although she knew that Jia Chen was extraordinary, but as Baochai said, on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and in the past three or four years in the northern Xinjiang, I am afraid that she has never even slept peacefully, and when she thinks of this, she can't help but feel a little distressed.

With a hint of emotion, those affectionate eyes couldn't help but look at Jia Chen.

Yingchun on the side, there is also a little sigh in his heart, if compared with Jia Chen, their life in this mansion is no matter what? It's much better than Jia Chen, but Yingchun is not good at words, he didn't speak, and only looked at the brother in front of him with sympathetic eyes.

As for Tanchun on the other side, he has a shrewd and capable temperament and lofty ambitions, as Cao Gong said in his poem, "only from shrewdness and self-exaltation", but he didn't agree with Baochai's words, but he didn't agree with that kind of thing, and he actually yearned for it more, and he only felt that Jia Chen was on the battlefield, broke the army and killed the enemy, and made meritorious contributions, so as to live up to the real man.

Today, there is actually only one protagonist, and that is Jia Chen.

Later, as she spoke, Daiyu asked again: "Brother Chen, with your talents, even if you take the road of entering the imperial examination, it should not be difficult, why do you choose another path in the end?" ”

Hearing this, Baochai Tanchun Li Kun, a trace of suspicion crossed his eyes, although Jia Chen has a bookish atmosphere, but his real talent, everyone has not yet seen it, why does Daiyu say that she can successfully enter the government even if she takes the road of the imperial examination?

Wang Xifeng, Yingchun, has a little guess about Daiyu's words, but Xichun understands what Daiyu means very well.

That room of books, as well as the book he left behind, which has a strategy for politics and all aspects of things, it is not difficult to see that in fact, Jia Chen has some understanding of these, and even said that he is very familiar with them, if he really takes the path of the imperial examination, but if he is a Jinshi, the two mansions will definitely press the treasure on his body at that time, with the help of the connections of the two mansions, presumably he will soon be able to rise to the top, of course, this is just the wishful thinking in their little girl's heart, for the real officialdom, for Jia Chen, they still don't know enough thoroughly, If he had a choice, he wouldn't have taken that path.

Hearing Daiyu's words, Jia Chen smiled and shook his head, it was not the right time! Imperial examination and military merit knighthood, in fact, at the beginning, he had weighed it, if there was no rhubarb court and many means, he would not choose to go to the battlefield to fight for fame, it was really to pin his head to the waist of his trousers!

I only heard Jia Chen say: "Probably my ancestors didn't let me take the road of the imperial examination to enter the WTO!" Before the Dakang wolf smoke everywhere, there are various forces in the north entangled on the border, from time to time to fight the autumn wind, the people on the border paper are miserable, since the founding of the country, it has left this shortcoming, since I have a handle on the strength, how can I learn the little daughter's attitude, the husband is in the world, whether it is for the official slaughter, or to go into battle to kill the enemy, always have to live a chic and happy, with a clear conscience~ Although the imperial examination is not bad, but I prefer to cross the field ~"

"Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why do you need to return the horse leather shroud~"

Hearing this sonorous voice that is different from the daughter of the boudoir, the girls are numb when they hear it, and they only feel that they have been touched somewhere in their hearts.

Sister Feng on the side said with a smile: "You are still young, don't be deceived by Brother Chen, how many people can come back alive from the battlefield?" If you all have to find a general to be a husband in the future, you really have to be widowed, and then the ancestors will not pick my skin~"

The girls laughed again when they heard this, Baochai glanced at Jia Chen with a pair of beautiful eyes, and then said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Feng, it's just a matter of facts, in the world, there is only one champion Hou~"

"Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, a few people from the ancient war came back ~ We all know ~"

When Sister Feng heard Baochai's words, she hurriedly smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, that's it, I forgot it in front of my head~"

Hearing Wang Xifeng's words, the rest of the girls all laughed, they all knew that Sister Feng hadn't read, where did she forget?

Sister Feng'er's face was pale, "What are you laughing at~~ It's hard for my aunt and grandmother to watch a drama and learn two sentences~"

Hearing this, Li Kun smiled and said: "Don't talk about this, these things won't appear in the playbook, if Ming'er lets the old lady hear it, I'm afraid I'm going to hit you in the mouth~"

When they heard this, they laughed again.

Jia Chen lowered his head, looked at Jia Lan who was standing aside, and said: "Your Aunt Bao, what you said is right, the battlefield is indeed dangerous, but a man still has to go to the army to experience it, some things can only be experienced by himself, I have seen it, I know it, I will not be deceived in the future, and I can get out of my own way~"

"However, this matter is not in a hurry, when you become an adult, if you want to go to the army for training, I can arrange it for you!"

Hearing Jia Chen's words, Li Kun got up lightly and hurriedly thanked him.

Today, didn't she bring Jia Lan in order to have a relationship with Jia Chen? In the future, if you really can, with Jia Chen's support, your child's road will be much easier.

Jia Chen waved his hand and said that it was okay, then thought about it and said: "If Lan Xiaozi really wants to take the imperial examination in the future, then it is better to invite another famous teacher!" What is the situation in the ethnology, I generally know, today's words, the old men in the house should soon know, presumably they will also pay attention to it, among the two mansions, except for the previous generation of respectful masters, the imperial examination in the jinshi, there is indeed no one who has made any gains in the imperial examination~"

"Lan boy is good, knowledgeable, and motivated, don't delay him, don't go to the end, if a good piece of jade is carved with a hammer, it will be a waste~"

Sister Feng listened to it on the side, and there was a trace of strangeness in her eyes, this Lan boy, I am afraid that he will make a big fortune in the future, with Jia Chen's words, the government will definitely pay attention to the cultivation of Jia Lan in the future.

Li Kun is a smart person, so he can naturally guess the attitude of the Dao Mansion in the future, and he suddenly smiled like a flower, so that Jia Lan hurriedly thanked him.

Jia Lan is still young, and he still can't realize how much weight Jia Chen's words have and how much change they can bring him in the future, but he has always listened to his mother's words, and since his mother asked him to thank Jia Chen, he didn't dare to hesitate, and said thank you respectfully.

Seeing this scene, the two Tanchun Baochai, who had brothers, flashed a trace of envy in their hearts, but they knew what their brother's situation was, so they didn't dare to lead it to Jia Chen, and for a while, they sighed in their hearts.

"Brother, say okay, you stay with me to be naughty~"

At this moment, Xichun was a little mouthful, as if she was a little jealous, okay, after these people came, Jia Chen didn't talk to her anymore.....

Hearing this, Jia Chen smiled and shook his head.

"Well, I have a game here, let's play it while everyone is there!"
