Chapter 14: Jia Dairu's Entrance Examination
The private school in Jiafu is located on the west side of Rongguo Mansion, that is, to the west of Ningrong Street.
It is not far back and forth, but it is only two miles away, which is funded and supported by the inheritors of the Jia clan.
The raider of the Xifu is the first-class general Jia Yu, and the raider of the Dongfu raider is the general Jia Zhen of the third grade, and he is also the patriarch.
Jia Zhen's father, Jia Jing, was born in Yimao Kejinshi, but he left the officialdom early and immersed himself in the alchemy of Xuanzhenguan outside the capital as a Taoist.
Although he was born as a Jinshi, he had no intention of being an official, so it is unknown whether he avoided right and wrong or saw through the red dust.
On a spring morning, the sun shines through the thin clouds and shines on the snow-covered earth.
There was a crisp chill in the air, and the streets were covered with a thin layer of frost.
"At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, and Xi is far away........"
The morning light shines through the mist into the window of the school, and the students are enjoying the morning reading enlightenment.
Jia Dairu talked about several passages of the "Book of Songs" as usual.
Break for lunch.
Jia Cong heard many familiar names and unfamiliar faces.
There are many people who come to study in private schools, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, Jia Qiang, and Jia Yan.
There are also Xue Pan, Jia Rui, Jin Rong, Xiang Lian, Yu Ai........
Jia Cong was a little surprised, and according to various signs, he could roughly guess the time course of the original work.
Qin Keqing's younger brother "Qin Zhong" did not come to the school, but Baoyu and Qin Zhong had already met at this time.
Not surprisingly, they will start to develop their base next year.......
According to Mr. Zhou Ruchang's interpretation, this year should be the ninth year of the Red Mansion.
In the popular book, Qin Keqing will be infected next year, and the year after will be "Death Seal Dragon Forbidden Captain".
However, according to the more ancient original stone records, it should be "Silver Funeral Tianxianglou........
One died of illness and the other committed suicide.
The Red Mansion is a tragedy, will it change its trajectory because of his appearance?
Mengxue he has already memorized it backwards, and the Five Classics can be selected in the Great Chu Dynasty Township Test-Hui-Hall Test.
In addition to the four must-reads, Jia Cong specializes in (Book of Songs).
He has the learning methods and understanding of his previous life, and he has a foundation in Chinese studies, so he is not very difficult.
Jia Dairu is over the age of sixteen and is the same generation as Jia's mother, and he is the elder of the Jia family.
is also one of the few remaining generations of the generation, and he failed to be admitted to Xiucai for half of his life, and he is an old boy.
But people have also passed the county and government examinations seriously, and they have repeatedly failed the hospital examinations.
It is not uncommon for old children to be born in the age of the ancient sixtieth year, and the way of the imperial examination is difficult, far better than the college entrance examination in later generations.
Jia Cong sat upright throughout the whole process and listened carefully to Jia Dairu's explanation of the "Book of Songs" in class.
It's not like other naughty boys who perfunctory bastard days, so they have a lot of experience.
Until the end of the Deuteronomy.
The whole school was in a commotion, and the private school was gone.
The corridor was crowded with people, like a bird out of the cage for a while.
Tie Niu followed behind him with a package, and the master and servant went out the door.
Jia Cong asked him to prepare five taels of silver, and said, "We won't go back to the house for the time being, let's go to the master's door to meet first." β
...........
Three walls, coming out of the private school, are facing the north of the lane of Ning Rong Street.
The east side is lined up one after another, presenting all the green tile huts.
One of them has two courtyards, east and west, with yin in the south and yang in the north.
The main house is used as a living room, and there is only one girl, which is Jia Dairu's home.
"Why is Cong'er so expensive?"
Jia Dairu put down the book and welcomed this grandson of the Jia clan into the living room.
The girl was ordered to bring tea on her head, and she promised it on her lips, but she accepted it silently after the silver excused herself twice.
"As a mentor to his grandchildren, it is natural for him to receive some gifts."
Jia Cong sat down at the bottom and continued: "What's more, the grandfather is the elder of the clan, and the younger generation is filial piety - of course!" β
Although the standard of living of the Jia Dairu family is superior to that of most civilians.
But compared with Ning and Rong's two mansions, they are simply phoenixes and ugly ducklings.
In the original book, Jia Dairu's grandson "Jia Rui" was bold and coveted the beauty of his sister-in-law Wang Xifeng.
Later, he was killed by Wang Xifeng's "lovesick plan".
During this period, Jia Dairu couldn't even afford to buy ginseng for his grandson, so he finally went to Xifu for help....... This information.
Jia Cong knew everything about it, and knew that Jia Dairu would not refuse to salute, so he naturally did it with a pertinence and purpose.
"I heard that this Jia Cong has changed his temper recently, and it's true."
Jia Dairu stroked his beard lightly, and then took the initiative to ask, "Do you have something to ask for?" β
"I hope that the grandson of the clan is indeed presumptuous to come today, but it is ......"
Jia Cong got up and said: "This time I came to the door to ask the grandfather to tell Jia Yan on his behalf, and the grandson of the clan wants to participate in the county examination in the year of Renshen. β
"Next year's Wanping scientific expedition?"
Jia Dairu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then frowned again: "The way of the imperial examination is not child's play, can you read all the four books and five classics?" β
"Read through." Jia Cong replied without hesitation.
With a look of being ready for battle, he knew that Jia Dairu would definitely take the school exam next.
Seeing that his face was serious and his words were confident, it didn't seem to be a lie!
Jia Dairu just got up: "Since that's the case, I'll test you." β
"Please ask the master to make a question!"
Jia Dairu pondered for a moment and asked, "The gentleman walks in his position, nothing more than the outsideβwhat's behind?" β
Jia Cong thought for a moment and replied: "Su Fu is rich, Su is poor, Su Yi Di is poor, Su Yi Di is Yi Di........
Don't complain about the sky, don't complain about the people... Zi said: Shoot a gentleman, lose all the righteousness, but seek all the body. β
Jia Dairu asked again, "Where did you come from?"
"The mean!"
Jia Dairu nodded and chose a more difficult one: "The old man, and the old man; The young of me, and the young of man.
"Poetry" cloud: Walk in widows, as for brothers, in order to be in the family.
Words and deeds, just add to the other - what's next? β
Jia Cong said eloquently: "Therefore, Tuien is enough to protect the four seas, and if you don't push En, you can't protect your wife."
The ancients were so great that they had nothing else to do, and they were good at what they did........"
"That's it!"
Jia Dairu waved his hand, looking at the young man in front of him who was like two people in the past, his face was a little surprised and a little complicated.
An old bone has lived for most of its life, and if you don't see it with your own eyes/hear it with your own ears, you really can't believe it.
Could it be ....... So Nan Ke Meng really has such a miraculous effect?
Jia Dairu suddenly remembered the unsuccessful grandson at home, and then shook his head and sighed.
"Master, is that grandson going to take the county exam this year?"
Heard Jia Cong ask.
Jia Dairu came back to his senses and said earnestly: "Brother Cong'er, do you know that the way of the imperial examination is not only the four books and five classics, but the most important thing is the eight-strand ........"
"Master, I already know!"
"What?" Jia Dairu was stunned, and then looked at him incredulously.
Jia Cong said calmly: "The grandson of the clan said that the eight-strand essay has been awarded three of them, and he also asked the master to come up with the question and make a current essay on the spot."
If you can't see it, the grandchildren of the clan will listen to the teachings and learn more. β
