Chapter 17: Playing Right and Wrong, Eventful
"Why haven't you kowtowed to see your elders soon? I haven't seen you for a few days, and I heard that you have been studying the Confucian scriptures and lecture notes in the school in recent days, and you plan to enter the Confucian career in the future. ”
"What are you still standing for? Why don't you hurry up and kneel down and say hello to your ancestors? ”
When Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Huan was becoming more and more handsome and extraordinary, not as obscene and embarrassing as before, the more worried she was in her heart that Jia Huan had robbed Jia Baoyu of her elegance, and she could be regarded as letting go, and took the initiative to reprimand her as a "mother".
Jia Huan's face was cloudy, he thought for a moment, and under the pressure of the situation, he had to obey the feudal etiquette, knelt on the ground paved with bluestone slabs and bricks, and said in his mouth: "Grandson has asked the old lady for peace."
After that, he asked Jia Zheng and others separately.
Kowtowed to the ground, ringing his head clearly, but it also gave enough face to everyone in Jiafu.
"Forget it, forget it, God is pitiful, everyone is a family and don't need such a grand ceremony? Huan'er, get up quickly. ”
It wasn't until Jia Huan finished asking for peace that a Jia mother sitting on the soft couch above turned her anger into joy, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "This is my good grandson." ”
After Jia Huan kowtowed, he got Jia's mother to speak, so he was able to stand up straight and stand in the hall.
"This revenge is not avenged, it is not a gentleman."
Jia Huan didn't speak on his face, but in his heart he had a desire for revenge against Mrs. Wang.
"Huan'er, in recent days, Mr. Xuetang said that you are diligent and hardworking, and you have the posture of a champion, and today I invite you to come and test you in front of many elders. If you really have the posture of a champion, I may be able to give you permission to enter the official examination and go out for a trip. "Although Jia Zheng is a little pedantic, he really feels sorry for Aunt Zhao, otherwise, he would not have said such words for Jia Huan.
Jia Mu next to her suddenly changed when she heard this.
Mrs. Wang's face is the most ugly, if Jia Huan jumps out, Enke High School, then where will Jia Baoyu's face go?
Since ancient times, the concubine Jackie Chan has been a worm, so he will not be ridiculed and ridiculed, and it is difficult to raise his head.
Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Huan in front of her, thinking of her baby pimple Jia Baoyu's appearance as a demon king of the world, and she didn't feel a headache.
Seeing that Jia Baoyu is gradually growing older, he still wanders in the inner courtyard of Jiafu all day long, and many women in the backyard of Jiafu apply rouge gouache and play and have fun, after all, it is difficult to become a big thing, how can this be an end!
Madame Wang sighed slightly again.
Jia Baoyu is her own son, and Jia Huan has always been the evil seed born to Aunt Zhao.
The mother loves her son, but outsiders don't kiss her, she still has to speak for Jia Baoyu after all.
"Let's wait and see, let the master try the quality of this Jia Huan, if this Jia Huan really becomes the climate, it is inevitable to use some means, so that this concubine understands that there is a difference between the concubine and the concubine, and he can't transgress the law."
Wang Xifeng, who was next to him, looked Jia Huan up and down curiously, slightly supported his head with his slender and tender right hand, deviated the position of his head, half-leaned on the chair, looked at Jia Huan, and thought to himself: "It is indeed a romantic seed, I haven't seen him for a few days, not to mention that he looks a lot more handsome, and even his courage is a little bigger." If it were in the past, I was afraid that in the face of such a situation, I would have been weak in my bones and muscles, and my legs would have been weak and I knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy. ”
Caiyun and Ping'er also secretly sweated for Jia Huan.
The three halls of trial, counted as others in this Jia Mansion, will definitely not be able to bear it.
Aunt Zhao was worried, but she didn't dare to speak casually.
The more she says, the more wrong she is, she is a stupid person, and among the ladies and masters who are sitting here, Aunt Zhao has the lowest status among her, and she rashly pleads for Jia Huan, but I am afraid that it will backfire!
Mother loves her child.
Aunt Zhao thought of the pressure Jia Huan was facing now, and she felt a little dizzy, and her body was still a little swaying when she sat in her position, but in the end, she still sat firmly.
"Let me ask you, have you ever memorized the Four Books and Five Classics?"
Jia Zheng likes to study since he was a child, and originally wanted to be born in the imperial examination, but when Jia Daishan was dying, the emperor gave Jia Zheng an additional title of director because of his compassion for the ancestors, and was promoted to a member of the Ministry of Works.
He himself is not too much knowledge, at most it is not much different from the level of knowledge on Jia Dairu, the master of Jiafu's school, but he likes to talk, and often makes friends with some gentlemen, reciting poetry together, and being elegant.
At this moment, Jia Zheng asked questions straight to the point with "Four Books and Five Classics", which can be regarded as decent, not too strict.
Aunt Zhao was slightly relieved when she heard this.
She heard Mr. Dai Ru from the school say that her child, since he walked through the ghost gate, is a natural seed of reading, with the ability to never forget, and how can he just recite small things?
When Mrs. Wang heard this, her face did not fluctuate much, and she didn't seem to move, but in fact, she fiddled with the Buddha beads in her hand, and her eyes were always focused on Jia Huan's every move, giving Jia Huan great psychological pressure.
Everyone next to him had different faces, waiting for Jia Huan's performance.
Jia Huan thought about how to break the game.
"Jia Zheng's assessment seems simple, but it is actually dangerous and abnormal. If he plans to pass the customs perfectly, I am afraid that Mrs. Wang will send someone to keep an eye on him twenty-four hours a day, so that he will not be free. The matter of cultivation and writing will even be delayed and unexpected situations will occur because of this. ”
"But if you can't clear the customs, Jia Zheng will definitely not be able to get through here, so you have to reprimand, and then Mrs. Wang from the side is staring, I'm afraid that I will be beaten."
"In this way, you can only take the path of the mean."
Thinking about the coping strategy in his heart, Jia Huan opened his mouth and began to recite the "Four Books and Five Classics" in a sonorous and powerful voice, "The Analects: Zi said, learn and learn it, and don't say it......"
"Wonderful! Good, good, good. When Jia Zheng heard this, he praised it again and again.
Hearing the words of the scholar tonight, it is like listening to the ears of Xianle.
Caiyun and Heping'er opened their mouths wide, looking at Jia Huan in the hall with a look of disbelief, and for a while they were in a trance, as if they had never seen such a fairy-like third master.
Confident, calm, calm, and a Confucian gentleman is as gentle as jade, he is simply the perfect mate to choose a partner.
"It's a good piece of material." Mother Jia ordered the big girl next to her, the mandarin duck, shook the fan in her hand, and lay comfortably on the chair, squinting her eyes, looking at Jia Huan as if she had seen the demeanor of the person back then.
"Hmph." Mrs. Wang just snorted coldly in her heart and did not speak.
However, Wang Xifeng, who was next to him, noticed that the Buddha beads held in Mrs. Wang's hands also stopped playing, and her five fingers pinched the Buddha beads stubbornly, revealing the unrest in her heart.
"This guy is a little bit more interesting." Wang Xifeng groaned.
"Yes, my son has the appearance of a champion." Aunt Zhao couldn't wait to be surprised on the spot, so that everyone in Jiafu knew that her son was a unicorn.
"Yes, you are very skilled in memorization, it seems that you should have worked hard."
At this time, Jia Zheng smiled slightly, brushed his long hair and beard, and said: "However, the imperial examination Enke is not only rote memorization, but also has his own understanding of the Great Dao of the Sage, so that he can have the ability to govern the country through the world." ”
"You have passed the first level, and this second level is to test your understanding of the saint's scriptures."
