Chapter 21: Release
Today is the day of the release of the autumn boudoir list, and the candidates are all flocking to the yamen, eager to know whether they are on the list immediately. The Rongguo Mansion was no exception, and Zhishu and Lai Da crowded in front of the yamen early in the morning. The Lu family also dragged Jia Yu to the main hall Ronghua Hall to wait, and when they arrived, they saw Shi and Jia Zheng sitting there. Of course, the purpose is the same as that of Jia Yu and the Lu family. Jia Yu saluted Shi before he began to check Jia Zheng's face. After Jia Zheng fell ill from that day, not only did not get better, but became more and more serious.
This is also a matter of course, Jia Zheng has always been unable to let go in his heart, seven up and down, torturing him all the time, making him sleep badly, unable to eat, it is strange that he can get better. Shi persuaded and persuaded him, Jia Zheng just didn't get better, today Shi didn't want to ask Jia Zheng to get up and wait, but Jia Zheng just couldn't sit still. He still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that he can make the list, even if it is at the bottom of the list. Shi Shi was a little excited, his Zheng'er will be a lifter after today, a twelve-year-old lifter, and she also felt a light on her face when she said it.
Zhishu kept squeezing outside, and suddenly the pressure was a lot greater, and it turned out that the yacha came out with the list, and the crowd was even more excited. As soon as the yacha posted the list on the bulletin board, the crowd squeezed in the direction of the list, but fortunately, the knowledge came early, and as soon as he came, he occupied the position in front of the bulletin board. Lai Da came late, and now he is still being squeezed around. Zhishu started to read from the end of the list, and after reading it, there was no name of Jia Yu. Zhishu is not worried, the young master was on the first list last time. Zhishu continued to look at the first list, the more he looked forward, the more nervous Zhishu became, and finally saw Jia Yu's name, Zhishu held back the cheers in his heart, and took a closer look, that's right, the thirty-fourth, Jia Amnesty of Rongguo Mansion. Zhishu only called out after confirming again: "It's hit, my young master is hit!" and squeezed out without paying attention to the others.
After squeezing out of the crowd, Zhishu ran back to the Guogong Mansion vigorously, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "The young master is lifted, the young master is lifted!" The subordinates also shouted, and for a while the entire Guogong Mansion knew the news. Shi Shi's first reaction when he heard that someone was in the middle was Jia Zhengzhong, and he was about to open his mouth to say that he saw Zhishu running in, and he secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and Zhishu had already spoken: "Old lady, wife, the young master is in, the young master is in!"
Shi Shi forcibly held back the panic in his heart and asked: "Are there any rules, why are you shouting and shouting, and make it clear, is that young master the eldest young master or the second young master?" saluted everyone among them: "Mrs. Hui, it is the eldest young master who has won the thirty-fourth place on the first list." "Zhishu was found by the Lu family to give Jia pardon, and the rules are all good. Shi then asked, "What about my Zheng'er?"
"Back to Mrs., the little one didn't continue to look at the name of the eldest young master, maybe the second young master's ranking was higher, so I didn't see it, Lai Da is still reading, there should be good news soon. Zhishu didn't panic, Jia Yu secretly scolded Zhishu in his heart for being a slippery head. Lu said with a smile: "Okay, let everyone be happy, tell the account room, everyone will receive two more months of monthly money, and go from my account." When the people heard this, they all saluted happily and thanked them.
The Lu family and Jia Yu didn't return to their courtyard, they still had to wait for the yacha to come to the door, and there was also a Jia Zheng, so they had to wait until Lai Da came back. After waiting for a long time, the yacha came, a burst of congratulations, Jia Yu took the document and asked Zhishu to give the yacha a wallet, the yacha took the wallet and was happy, the wallet was fluttering not silver, it was a silver ticket, and the smile was even more sincere. How much money can be had, but the smallest denomination of silver tickets is one hundred taels, and he has made a lot of money. After the yacha left, Jia Yu asked people to light firecrackers, which was also a custom to let people nearby know that someone had been lifted.
After the firecrackers were burned, Lai Dacai slowly returned to the Guogong Mansion, Shi looked at Lai Da expectantly, hoping to spit out the word "hit" from Lai Da's mouth, Lai Da shook his head with difficulty, "The second young master didn't win, the little one saw the end from the beginning, and I looked at it three times in a row, but I didn't see the young master's name." ”
"Impossible, you must have missed it, how could Zheng'er be on the list?" Shi Shi shouted incredibly. Jia Zheng was still sick, and after listening to Lai Da's words, he fainted as soon as he rolled his eyes, but he was already sitting, so when he fainted, his movements were not obvious, and everyone was still focusing on Shi's body, and no one had found out that he had fainted for a while. Of course, Jia Yu noticed it, but he was not obliged to inform Shi, on the contrary, he wanted to see how long it would take Shi to find out that her precious son was unconscious.
After a long time, Shi still sat stubbornly, wanting to wait for the yacha to come to the door. She just decided that Lai Da had missed it. Lai's mother, who was on the side, came back to her senses and felt a little strange in her heart, why didn't the second young master react at all, and when she looked at Jia Zheng, she was shocked to realize that Jia Zheng had fainted. Under Lai's mother's exclamation, Shi Shi found out about Jia Zheng's situation, and the Guogong Mansion immediately became chaotic. Lu Shi shook his head when he saw it: "Yu'er, you are taking care of it, grandmother will go back first when she is tired." ”
Jia Yu nodded, although he also wanted to go back, he was the eldest son, and in Jia Daishan's absence, he was needed to greet someone. What's more, Jia Zheng fainted, and he had to send someone to find the medical officer. Otherwise, let people know that his younger brother is dizzy, and if he doesn't care about it at all, his previous reputation will be in vain. Lu stood up: "Okay, you don't have to send me, after settling down in a while, come over to grandmother." After speaking, he patted Jia Yu's hand and left with a group of maids.
Shi took the maid to carry Jia Zheng back to his courtyard, and Jia Yu was waiting for the imperial doctor at the gate, after all, it was the name of the Guogong Mansion, and the imperial doctor soon came and prescribed some medicine to Jia Zheng, telling Shi not to worry, Jia Zheng was only in a hurry, but because the previous thoughts were issued, the illness would soon be cured. Jia Yu hurriedly thanked him, stuffed a wallet for the imperial doctor, and sent the person out of the house.
Then there was nothing to do with Jia Yu, Jia Yu remembered that Lu Shi left to explain his past trip. When she came to Qingsong Courtyard, Mama Xun was already waiting in the courtyard, and when she saw Jia Yu coming, she said with a smile: "Young master, you are here, the old lady is waiting for you in the garden." Jia Yu nodded and walked into the garden, where Lu was sitting in the center of the garden.
"Grandmother, why are you waiting for your grandson here, it's cold in autumn, what should I do when my grandmother catches a cold?" Jia Yu went over to help the Lu family, and the Lu family touched Jia Yu's face lovingly, Jia Yu was not used to it at the beginning, but now he enjoys the old man's love for him. Lu asked Jia Yu to sit down: "Do you remember the concubine who mentioned to you last time that I wanted to be with Zhang Xiang?"
