The news that the two young masters of the Rongguo Mansion would be examined two weeks later spread unexpectedly throughout the capital. Jia Yu is very confident in the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion, and is confident that they can spread the news quickly, and Jia Yu is very grateful to Shi's pig teammates. Now the hottest topic in the whole capital is Jia Yu and Jia Zheng. Xungui is not like a family, the existing family is actually inherited by Xungui, after years of elimination, how many Xungui have disappeared, and the rest has become the so-called family. After so many generations, there have been lessons of blood and tears for some things, so it is natural that there will be a set of rules.

But at the beginning, the nobles were different, most of them were promoted from the dragon's skills, the mud legs had no time to precipitate, they didn't understand many things, and they were afraid of other people's jokes, so they wore gold and silver, and they couldn't wait for others to see that they were very rich, and they felt like nouveau riche. In addition, he can't change his mentality, and he desperately squandered the patience of the higher-upper, and then the higher-up person gets tired, and the consequence is, of course, to raid the family, so most of them will disappear in one or two generations.

is also because there are no rules, and the subordinates are less disciplined, so from time to time there will be gossip about the nobles. Both the family and the common people will be happy about this, and the family will take the opportunity to teach their children what to do and what not to do. Civilians will regard Xungui's gossip as a strange talk, after all, Xungui is usually high, but now he finds that he is no different from them. After all, the eldest son was beaten only a few months ago, and the place of the Guozijian was plundered and handed over to the second son, who was better than the eldest son, so that many literati agreed with the behavior of the Guogong, and many people felt that the elders and young were orderly, and the Guogong should not be like this. The former is a Hanshi. felt that since Jia Yu didn't know how to forge ahead, he shouldn't waste the quota of the national eunuch, and the latter was a sour Confucian who felt that the rules were the rules.

There are also many casinos with deep backgrounds that start with whether the two can win. Jia Zheng was eleven years old, and he was rumored to be a champion since he was a child, and he was ten thousand times better than his eldest brother Jia Yu. For a while, the two were compared by everyone, and the odds were higher than Jia Zheng's, one to one and a half, and Jia Zheng to one to one and two. Jia Yu's filial piety was passed from Jinling, but Shi had smeared Jia Yu in the capital for many years, and most people still shook their heads and scolded when they talked about Jia Yu. On the other hand, although Jia Zheng has always been rumored to be better than Jia Yu, he is only eleven years old, and he has never participated in the children's exam.

The fourth prince also smiled when he heard this, called someone, and took 10,000 taels and bet on Jia Yu's body. After the four princes returned to Beijing, they told the saint what happened, and the saint knew that Jia Yu had already discovered the identity of the four princes, and then smiled and sighed that it was really worthy of being raised by the Lu family, only the old fox could teach a little fox, and then told the four princes about his conjecture, and the four princes were shocked to realize that Jia Yu specially asked him to find someone to help, although he was fooled by Jia Yu, but he admired Jia Yu's strength and wisdom of the four princes. So as soon as they heard the rumors this time, the four princes naturally thought that it was Jia Yu's handiwork.

After Jia Yu heard the news that Zhishu brought back, he couldn't help but smile, and then took 100,000 taels of jade carvings sold in the past few months to let Zhishu bet on himself, such money is not made in vain. When Lu heard this, he only smiled slightly, shook his head, scolded nonsense, and then asked people to take 10,000 taels of silver to support Jia Yu. Shi Shi was also very happy to hear it, and when he heard that Jia Yu's odds were higher than Jia Zheng's, he felt that people had a really good vision, and they all agreed that her Zheng'er was better than Jia Yu's waste, and after thinking about it, he also took the 200,000 taels in the public middle school to ask someone to bet on Jia Zheng. After that, he also instructed Lai's mother to stew the tonics, and came to Jia Zhengna with Yahuan.

Jia Zheng was reading a book at this time, shaking his head while reading aloud. Shi Shi was very relieved to see it, and knew that he was the future champion when he looked like he was reading. It's like the waste raised by her mother-in-law Lu, she has never seen him take any books, and being able to get Xiucai is already his greatest creation. But she never thought that she had never been to Jia Yu, and how could she see Jia Yu pick up the book.

"Zheng'er, come to the rest meeting, Mrs. stewed some supplements for you, and you can drink and read again. Shi said with a flattering face. Jia Zheng was slightly unhappy when he was disturbed, and when he saw that it was Shi, he put down the book and called out to his wife. Shi Shi looked at Jia Zheng drinking the tonic he brought and felt very happy: "Zheng'er drink more." This time, Mrs. Zheng'er will do better than the rubbish, so that others will know that waste is waste. ”

Jia Zheng said with a proud face when he heard this: "The child is the one who will take the top exam in the future, and he can't be compared with the eldest brother." Jia Zheng was not surprised at all by Shi's call Jia Yu a waste, obviously Shi was usually like this in front of him, so Jia Zheng was also used to it. Jia Zheng is a little skeptical about whether he can be promoted, after all, he has been brainwashed by Shi since he was a child and said that he is a hundred times better than Jia Yu, and the comments he usually gets on his homework are far more than Jia Yu, so in Jia Zheng's heart, if Jia Yu can do it, he will definitely do better than Jia Yu.

Shi nodded: "It's Mrs. Wrong, Zheng'er has to take the top prize, of course, you can't compare it with waste." That's how Shi hypnotizes himself every day. Ever since the news came that Jia pardoned for Xiucai, she found that things were starting to get out of her control. The desire for closeness to her in Jia Yu's eyes, who originally saw her, disappeared, and Jia Yu, who would pass Lu's gaze for her whenever Lu was angry with her, changed unconsciously, but she didn't take it to heart, after all, Jia Yu was still a waste who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and he would only be trampled under Jia Zheng's feet. But now, Jia Yu is already a showman, and she has to take the exam, she is very uncomfortable, and she can only settle down by telling herself over and over again that Jia Yu is just a coincidence.

Jia Yu didn't pay attention to it after betting on it, this is Jia Yu is in Lu's courtyard, handing over the old monk's letter to Lu's, Lu opened it and read it at a glance, and closed his eyes after reading. Jia Yu saw that Lu's expression was so serious, and he didn't dare to joke. After waiting for a long time, Lu opened his eyes and looked at Jia Yu, and then asked kindly: "Yu'er don't worry, grandmother is just a little sad to think that another friend will never see her again." “

Jia Yu approached Lu Shi and held her hand: "Grandmother doesn't have to be sad, the master is just a retreat, and the master's profound Buddhism will not be fine." After the grandson tomorrow after the spring of the year, he will compensate his grandmother to go to Jinling to worship the Buddha, and then let the master recite the scriptures to his grandmother. Lu Shi smiled when she heard this, of course she knew that Jia Yu was comforting her. "Oh, my pardon won't have time then. ”

Jia Yu was at a loss for a while: "How can there be no time?" Lu smiled, Jia Yu only felt that the smile was a little deep, and Lu Shi continued: "After taking the Jinshi examination, my pardon will become an official." After a pause: "Grandmother still has to prepare for the engagement of Yu'er, how can there be time." ”

Jia Yu was also dumbfounded, he is only fourteen years old now, and he will only be fifteen next year, isn't his original body engaged at the age of seventeen? The grandson will only be fifteen years old tomorrow, so he doesn't have to be engaged so early. Lu shook his head with a smile: "Fifteen years old is not early, and it will take a year to get married after the engagement of three books and six ceremonies, and you will be sixteen by then." Speaking of this, Lu touched Jia Yu's head and said in a complicated manner: "Grandmother's grandson has grown up, as if yesterday he was a child crying and asking for milk, and now he is going to be an official and a daughter-in-law." ”

Originally, my grandmother still thought that if Yu'er still didn't like to study, my grandmother would only ask Zhang Xiang to marry his eldest daughter, but now that my grandmother's pardon is angry, my grandmother will naturally be able to straighten up and speak. Lu said proudly. Jia Yu probably understood when he heard this, the original body didn't like to study, so even if the Lu family wanted to ask for it, Zhang Xiang didn't want to agree, but thinking of the relationship between the Lu family and the saint, he could only delay the day of marriage again and again, and only agreed when his daughter was older. But now Jia Yu is a fourteen-year-old Xiucai, as long as he makes persistent efforts, at the age of twenty, he can be a person or a further scholar, and this kind of knowledge is certainly worthy of the daughter of the Zhang family. So I reached a consensus with the Lu family that we would be engaged after next year, and we would get married in a year more.
