As soon as Jia Huan entered the Rongqing Hall, Jia's mother had not yet greeted her, but she said happily: "Look, our new leader is here!"
Wang Xifeng joined in and said, "Yeah, I wonder whose son is so handsome, and I wonder which old god can train him to be so handsome."
The whole room laughed.
Jia Huan greeted him and said, "My grandson has met our ancestors and master."
It turned out that after the banquet, Jia's mother was in high spirits and the others had not left yet, but Mrs. Wang excused herself from feeling unwell and went back to her room first.
Looking at her grandson, who was becoming more and more handsome and outstanding, Mother Jia said with satisfaction: "Huan'er, come here, come to grandma, let grandma take a good look!"
Jia Huan walked to Jia Mu helplessly and let Jia Mu hold her hand.
"Huan'er, now that you are the first in high school, you are the master of the nation. I originally wanted to hold a big banquet in the past two days, invite relatives and friends, and have a good celebration."
"But your father said that after the results of the general examination are released, you will have to take the palace examination in a few days. Is it possible that after you have passed the palace examination for high school, you can apply again?"
"I thought about it and realized that what your father said makes some sense. In that case, it's not too late to entertain your relatives and friends together after you have passed the imperial examination."
"Brother Huan, you have to take the palace exam well and come back with a top score."
Jia Huan said with a smile: "Old ancestor, the number one scholar is appointed by the current emperor. How can I guarantee that my grandson will win the number one prize? But this time, my grandson can guarantee that he will pass the exam and will definitely not fail."
Hearing Jia Huan's words, Jia's mother was deeply surprised. You have to know the previous exams. Every time when Jia's mother asked after the exam, her grandson said she was not sure, but every time she was the best in high school.
Why did he dare to make such a promise this time before taking the exam?
Jia Mu couldn't help but ask: "Huan'er, why are you so confident this time? Are you really sure to win?"
Lin Daiyu hurriedly stood next to Jia Mu and said, "Grandma, Brother Huan is coaxing you! The palace examination does not dismiss candidates. It only ranks the candidates. No one will fail at all. Everyone is bound to win."
Mother Jia couldn't help but laugh and said: "What a shame, you dare to tease me! It shows that our family really lacks the knowledge to study, and we don't even know this kind of common sense. Fortunately, the ladies closed the door If you talk at home, you will really make a fool of yourself if you talk outside."
"But with Huan'er, our family will have some foundation in the future. We also have Baoyu, well, Lange'er is also good. When they all go to school, our family will gradually be able to write poems and calligraphy. It’s a family heirloom.”
"Well, if Huan'er can win the top prize in high school in the imperial examination, that will be the greatest joy for my Jia family."
Jia Huan couldn't help but smile and said: "Old ancestor, even if I win the top prize, how can it be called the biggest happy event in my Jia family? Soon, there will be an even bigger happy event in my Jia family!"
Jia Mu asked repeatedly: "Brother Huan, tell me quickly, what other happy events will happen in our house?"
Jia Huan pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Old ancestors, you have known about the past half a year. Now I can't say much."
Jia Mu complained: "You use words to arouse people's interest, but you don't tell the whole story. It's also abominable."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room laughed.
At this time, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but guess. What exactly is Brother Huan saying is a greater joy than winning the top prize?
There are not many happy events like this in this world. Suddenly, Wang Xifeng's heart moved, could this be what happened?
Not only Wang Xifeng, but also Jia Mu and others also had thoughtful expressions on their faces.
When Jia Huan saw this, he smiled and said nothing.
Yuanchun was granted the title of concubine, probably within these few months.
Now he will give a spoiler first, shock them first, and make them feel awe.
After chatting with him for a while, Jia Huan left, saying that he wanted to go back to his room to study.
Naturally, he won praises from the whole room, saying that Brother Huan is really a hard worker. He has just taken the high school entrance examination, but he still does not forget to study hard.
And it's not just this time, but it happens every time. No wonder Brother Huan can win five yuan in a row.
In fact, Jia Huan heard that Fengxuan was there to study, but he just didn't adapt to the atmosphere of Rongqing Hall.
When it comes to the palace examination, there will be no test on the articles of saints and sages, only policy theory. Merely reading books is no longer of much use. You must make preparations based on current events.
After returning to Tingfengxuan, he naturally received congratulations from the three maids, and Jia Huan naturally generously rewarded him.
Next, Jia Huan prepared another banquet and enjoyed himself behind closed doors.
On the second day, Jia Huan was going to see his master.
In this era, it is necessary for candidates to meet their teachers after high school.
Take the National Examination, for example. Of the three thousand candidates, all of them passed the provincial examination, which is one out of thirty.
Among these 3,000 candidates, there is not much difference in personal level.
In fact, the gap between the candidates who ranked lower and those who failed the exam is not that big.
Even just because of the examiner's thought, their positions can be reversed.
Therefore, the fact that the examiner can admit the candidate can be regarded as a kind of fate between the two people.
Of course, the main purpose of meeting the teacher is to meet the two examiners. Gifts vary from person to person.
As a Huiyuan, the gift Jia Huan chose was just a set of high-quality pens, inks, paper and inkstones. The gifts were neither light nor heavy, but just right.
Jia Huan first went to the home of his teacher, Master Zhu Da, and submitted his disciple card. However, the concierge returned the invitation and refused to accept the gift, saying that Master Zhu did not see outsiders.
Jia Huan didn't take it seriously either. This was a normal operation.
The relationship between teachers and students often forms a huge network of relationships, which may lead to the formation of cliques. Anything worse will lead to party strife.
Therefore, some examiners who are well versed in protecting themselves will refuse to see all candidates to avoid danger.
But even if the teacher is missing, as a disciple, you must show appreciation, otherwise you will be ungrateful.
Not long after, Jia Huan arrived at Cheng Mansion.
When he got off the bus, Jia Huan discovered that there was an examinee in front of him who had just received his invitation and a gift.
It is obvious that this Grand Scholar Cheng is just like the Grand Scholar Zhu, he also avoids danger and refuses to see guests.
This way, it saves a lot of effort.
Although these two people are his teachers, Jia Huan is destined not to have too deep interactions with them because the two sides have completely different concepts.
However, even though Master Cheng was nowhere to be seen, he still had to go through the procedures.
Then, Jia Huan politely presented greeting cards and gifts.
However, what surprised Jia Huan was that the concierge of Cheng Mansion actually accepted his invitation and gift and introduced him into Cheng Mansion.
this? what is happening?
Isn’t it true that Master Cheng doesn’t see visitors? When he came, he clearly saw that some candidates were rejected. Could it be that Bachelor Cheng also selected someone to meet him?
Jia Huan always felt like something was wrong.
Not long after, Jia Huan was introduced into the living room. As a result, Jia Huan did not see Bachelor Cheng, but a young girl.
This girl is wearing a long skirt, her features are picturesque, and her eyes are cunning. (Not the heroine, just a tool)
