Chapter 32: Xiangling
Jia Daixiu groaned, he would not act rashly until he figured out the specific situation.
If Jia Yun Jinbang High School, it is a literary star of the imperial examination, and he needs to support his good life, and he must not be offended, and maybe Jia Yun in the future will be the supreme pride of the entire Jinling Jia Mansion.
If Jia Yun can't be on the list in this imperial examination, I'm afraid that his attitude towards Jia Yun will not be as good as it is now.
Subsequently, Jia Daixiu thought about it left and right, and couldn't hold back his desire to learn, so he ordered the little guy next to him to find Jia Yun and ask about the imperial examination, "Xiansun! Do you think you can be sure this time? ”
Jia Yun looked at the head of the Jinling Jia Mansion in front of him, that is, Jia Daixiu, and thought about it in his heart, how to answer this question.
After a while, a flash of inspiration also flashed in his mind, and he said: "This imperial examination is nine out of ten, and I will definitely be able to go to high school." If you're lucky, you'll be at the top of the list. ”
"Oh? How can a virtuous grandson be so confident? That's good, as long as Xiansun can top the high school rankings, I will definitely order someone to seal a thousand taels of silver to support Xiansun Enke. ”
Hearing Jia Yun's words, Jia Daixiu was also taken aback in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Jia Yun a few more times, for the older generation of characters, all scholars are quite respected and admired, and Jia Jing of Ningguo Mansion was also a Jinshi and the first in his heart, and he can be said to be a capable person among scholars.
Now, if there is also a scholar and a scholar in Rongguo Mansion, then the glory of their Jia Mansion will enjoy a longer period of time, and even this wealth will be passed on to future generations.
In Jia Daixiu's view, if Jia Yun can beat Jiangnan talents in this year's children's examination and become the first on the list, then it will be a sure thing to become a lifter in the future.
In the past dynasties, as long as he is the first talented person in the Jinling Mansion Children's Imperial Examination, there has never been an example of failing to pass the examination.
The guarantee is a literary talent who starts with a person, and there is a big tree behind him to support him, and the future is so immeasurable!
But anyone with a normal brain knows Jia Yun's potential and doesn't dare to offend easily.
Jinling Jiafu is not very rich, but it is also an investment money to use a thousand taels of silver to make friends with a future court official who is the worst person who starts from the beginning.
Not to mention Jia Yun's background in Shenjing Jiafu, judging from Jia Yun's current talent, this money is also worth spent.
It's just that Jia Daixiu is only a verbal promise now, and he needs to wait until the day of the release of the list to find out.
If Jia Yun is really at the top of the high school list on the day the list is released, then he will keep his promise and give it with both hands for a thousand taels of silver.
If Jia Yun can't be at the top of the high school list on the day the list is released, even if it is only a middle move, he will also give silver.
Once Jia Yun didn't have high school, then I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything about today.
Jia Daixiu talked to Jia Yun for a few words, and he could be regarded as knowing this young talent, and he was a descendant of Jiafu, and he was even more proud and happy, he only hated that Jia Yun was not his son, and sighed slightly in his heart, and said: "I'm afraid that this Jiafu is going to be published." ”
........
Leaving the hall and returning to his own small courtyard, Jia Yun met Chen Donglin who came to give gifts before Jia Yun entered the door, Chen Donglin was standing behind a pretty girl, and she was carrying a sack, and the sack struggled as if there was a person inside.
Although Jia Yun didn't know the maid behind Chen Donglin, she recognized the rouge mark on the center of the maid's eyebrows, and couldn't help but look at Chen Donglin and ask, "This girl is my friend's sister?" ”
"Exactly."
Chen Donglin nodded, then ordered someone to put the sack on the ground, pointed to the person lying on the ground, and said: "This person is the kidnapper who abducted the sister, I brought it here today just to ask how the second master will deal with this person." ”
"Let's do it according to the old rules!"
Jia Yun just glanced at the sack on the ground indifferently, and lost interest in this person, and said in his heart: "A kidnapper who has done a lot of evil can be regarded as innocent if he ends up today!" ”
When Chen Donglin heard this, he looked at the little brother beside him.
The younger brother is also an understanding person, so he hurriedly carried it away again, ready to deal with it according to the old rules.
"That's a good job."
"When I come to the next day, I will say a few kind words for you in front of Master Jia, which can be regarded as paving the way for you."
Jia Yun glanced at Chen Donglin, and also knew the way to give grace, but he was shy in his pocket but he couldn't reward the silver, he was still short of silver, and it was unlikely that he would take the silver out to give it, and Chen Donglin was not a person who lacked silver, so he immediately used another way to give gifts and send them.
Hearing Jia Yun's words, Chen Donglin was overjoyed, and couldn't help but say: "It's my honor to be able to do things for the second master, how dare I let the second master open an extra golden mouth for me?" ”
"This is the filial piety money of Jinling Mansion this year, a total of 5,000 taels of silver, and at the same time, after learning the purpose of the son's visit to Jinling Mansion, the big boss of the Cao Gang at the wharf also hopes to invite the second master to eat and drink."
"I don't know when the second master is free recently?"
Chen Donglin came here this time mainly for two purposes.
One is to complete the task assigned by Jia Yun and send Xiangling over.
The second is to match people and spread the word for others.
"The boss of the Cao Gang? Since I am a member of the Cao Gang, then I naturally want to meet it. ”
"However, the date will be postponed a little, and I will go again when the list is released next day!"
Jia Yun is not in a hurry to meet with the people of the Cao Gang, now he has not yet obtained the fame of Xiucai, and if he rushes to see it, he will be underestimated, and after he takes the fame of Xiucai, he also has the identity of a scholar endorsed and recognized by the government, and his identity is naturally different.
The Cao Gang is the Green Gang, and the Green Gang is one of the most popular and far-reaching folk secret societies since the early years of Dayong.
It is mainly responsible for the handling of shipping terminals and the distribution of various shipping interests.
It was an illegal organization during the Dakang period, but in the early years of Dayong, it became a formal legal organization.
As a result, with the help of the developed Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and waterway shipping in various places, the Cao Gang gradually developed and became the largest gang on the entire shipping road.
However, if the boats passing by the river are not related to the activities of the Cao Gang, the whole business will not last long.
Jia Yun also knew that the Cao Gang was powerful, but she was not afraid.
After all, the background of Shenjing Jiafu is born with a noble son, which is not comparable to these Cao Gang's mud legs.
The people don't fight with the officials, this is an old saying since ancient times.
Even though the Cao Gang is powerful in the rivers and lakes, if they really tear their face, no one will be happy.
It's just that Jia Yun hesitated, "What is the matter with this Cao gang boss looking for me?" ”
While Jia Yun was pondering, Xiangling, who was standing next to her, also glanced at Jia Yun, looking at Jia Yun up and down with a pair of watery eyes, she couldn't help blushing, and said secretly: "What a handsome son." ”
