Chapter 92: The Water Dragon holds its head high and sings for nine days
...
[February 2nd, the dragon raises its head, the god of the blue dragon, the dragon evil north, the Great Yellow River!]
...
On that day, the four prefectures and eighteen provinces of the Great Wei Dynasty had a total of more than 1,400 counties, and the yamen were opened!
There are countless students who are nervous, some are hesitant, some are calm, and some are calm. No matter what kind of mood they are in, they packed their bags early without exception, and they were young in spring, and they saw life and death after ten years of hard work.
There was a scientific test in the third year of the Great Wei Dynasty. The first test for the Tongsheng exam was held, and the county test began!
Jia Jue bid farewell to Jia Jing, Jia Mu, and a group of sisters, and went to the test site with Baoyu and Jia Huan.
The main reason is that Jia Jue is taking the exam, so Mr. Zheng also wants Baoyu and the others to try it. If they don’t win much, they can gain some experience. What if they win? He always has luck-like expectations for Baoyu.
The test site is located not far from the county government office, in a market in Xuanwu Gate. The yamen runners have already cleared the venue and set up a high-end examination room.
The examination room is divided into two courtyards inside and outside, with one in the middle, saying: Longmen, those who enter the dragon gate will take the formal exam. Regardless of whether the examiner has sent papers or not, he is not allowed to talk without leaving the paper or not.
Even if you urinate and defecate, you need to raise your hand and be accompanied by a special clerk to solve the problem with the simple vassal in the examination room. Because it is too simple, the rumors are stinky. The candidates sitting next to the vassal will be in trouble.
Jia Jue, Baoyu, and Jia Huan, the three brothers, embroidered clothes and rode horses all the way in front of the examination hall. At this point, the servants and servants could no longer follow.
There are two teams of yamen runners outside the shed, who take turns to check whether the candidates are carrying items, whether there are any banned cheating or other people. After the inspection of the first team, the second team will be re-inspected. This is how it will be done.
Jia Jue has done his homework long ago, so he will not be stopped. Baoyu and Jia Jue are not sure about it and bring some prohibited things. Fortunately, they are not considered first-class cheating, and all the prohibited things are stored outside the shed, or they can send them back by sending them to the servant.
Several people entered the inner courtyard, and a minor official checked his identities in turn, requiring him to fill in the history of his parents' hometowns and resumes of three generations, and the county's students were guaranteed.
Before dawn, Wanping County came to name the name, and with the magistrate beside the county magistrate, "The grandson of Jia Daihua, the son of Jia Jing, and Jia Jue, can be there!"
Jia Jue hurriedly responded that the county magistrate heard his identity and politely invited him to the examination room and did not forget to encourage him.
The number of seats in the inner courtyard was separated by some simple tables and chairs. When the candidates sat down one by one, a department instructor came in to hand in the papers and questions were soon given.
When Jia Jue saw that the exam questions were mostly written and recited. Although there were a few tricky and weird questions, they were still nothing more than articles in the Four Books, so he felt relieved.
...
After the exam, the results were released three days later. Jia Jue was not surprised and ranked first in the case. He may not have passed the eight-legged essay exam, but he is really not afraid of Scripting!
Not to mention him, even Baoyu and Jia Huan were strictly required by Lao Zheng during this period, so they were won. Baoyu's list is 48, and Jia Huan's list is 134.
Therefore, all three of them have obtained the qualification to become a child. Yes, they are not even a child now, so they have to pass the Mansion Examination. What if they fail the Mansion Examination? Sorry, please start over from now on.
Three people from the Jia family took the exam, and the three of them won. Jia Mu and everyone celebrated happily without mentioning it. Jia Zheng seemed to have seen some hope, and practiced Baoyu to death and prepared for the April Mansion Examination. Jia Mu said that he was not easy to use!
Let alone sisters, even Jia Jue couldn't see Baoyu during this period. He only saw Jia Zheng once occasionally, but he saw that he was angry, his eyes were bright, and his whole body was full of energy, as if he was back to his youth and was going to take the exam himself!
...
Although he took the lead of a county test case, Jia Jue did not dare to take it lightly. After all, the county test was hosted by the county magistrate, and the questions might be set according to his mood. The following ones would be strict, and it would be impossible for such a silly test paper to be written in the whole article.
So he got up early and was tired. He followed Jia Jing to review the eight-legged articles and also taught him the chapter on burning alchemy and refining mercury.
This really makes my scalp numb! Fortunately, at least I didn’t see any cinnabar, dandelion, mercury, mostly precious medicinal materials, or scorpion, snakes and clams...
But can you really eat this kind of medicinal ingredients stewed in a mess? Jia Jue expressed doubts, but respected his father but believed in this, and insisted on it, saying that these prescriptions can prolong life and strengthen the body.
Jia Jue: "..."
You should keep it for yourself.
...
That day, Jia Jue refined another furnace of waste elixir in the elixir room, and it was burnt...
Lai Fu outside is also very experienced now. He stood outside and waited until he smelled the burnt smell. Then he raised his breath and shouted, "It's the matter!"
Jia Jue asked him to come in, "What's the matter?"
"Reply to the second master, someone from Lixiangyuan passed on a message, "The concubine of the Xue family asked you to come over."
"Auntie is looking for me? Are you sure it's the aunt who is looking for me, but his uncle is looking for me?" Jia Jue asked with a frown when he heard this.
He couldn't help but be careless. These days, Xue Pan was almost annoyed him for what he said last time, for the ruthless things of Mr. Liu, the actor! He asked him to find a way all day long. What can he do if he is willing to do this?
He was so scared that he was afraid of avoiding him. He had been avoiding him a lot recently. Now he was afraid that Xue Panming would not be able to find him and wanted to make him profit!
"This...is the news that Xiangling came from Xifu. What's the point... I don't know."
"Well! I understand, you go."
...
Regardless of whether Xue Pan was cheating or not, since he used his aunt's name to invite him, Jia Jue had to go. He turned off the fire, cleaned up the stove, and went to Ningrentang to ask Jia Jing for leave. Jia Jue went to Lixiangyuan.
...
After passing through the two doors of the mansion and along the way, he came to Lixiangyuan. As expected, Aunt Xue was not seen. Jia Jue felt bitter and turned around and was about to run away. Unexpectedly, Xue Pan did not appear. Instead, Baochai wore a plain white ink-wash brocade palace dress, tied a bun with a hundred flowers, and looked at him with a smile, "What a brother Jue! I used to tell me that you are a thief, but I still don't believe it! I never thought that this was the case. You are here now, and where are you going?"
Jia Jue: "..."
