That night, after Jia Zheng was off duty, Jia Huan came to say hello.
This time, Jia Zheng rarely praised Jia Huan.
In fact, his son really gives him credit. In the past few days, colleagues from the Ministry of Industry had been complimenting him every day. He was a little embarrassed by the compliments, but he still couldn't get enough of them.
This Jia Zheng never dreamed that such a day would come.
Now that I see Jia Huan, I am naturally happy.
Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Father, after I prepare for the palace examination, I will take Lange'er with me to study when I have time. Lange'er is very smart, and he will definitely be able to enter school in less than three years."
"It won't take more than ten years to win the exam. By then, Lange'er will have his own future."
Jia Huan is really confident that Jia Lan will be admitted as a scholar within three years.
Because Jia Lan himself is not stupid, in the Book of Red Mansions, he originally passed the examination and ranked one hundred and thirty-seventh.
He has this qualification, and with his own teaching, it is not difficult to take the exam to become a scholar in three years.
But to say that Jia Lan won the championship within ten years is a bit bragging.
In this era, it is not so easy to pass the exam. Otherwise, how could Fan Jin go crazy with joy after winning the exam?
Although Jia Lan really passed the exam in the Red Mansion, the problem is that now that he has joined, the plot has changed. Jia Huan really can’t guarantee that Jia Lan will win the election within ten years.
But ten years later, no one will remember the awesomeness he boasted today. Just like the ten-year agreement he made last year, could he really be so stupid as to go to the top of Mount Tai to duel with someone?
When Jia Zheng heard Jia Huan's words, he was naturally more and more happy. He couldn't help but said: "Huan'er, not only did you continue to go to high school, but you can also support the younger generations in your family!"
"Such a character is extremely rare. You are worthy of being the son of my Jia Zheng! From now on, the rise and fall of my Jia family will all fall on you."
Good guy, on the surface it sounds like you are praising me, but in fact you are simply praising yourself.
Jia Huan curled his lips and said, "Father, it's just that I'm in high school now. If even Brother Lan goes to school next year, Brother Bao's face will definitely not look good."
Jia's mother always said that Baoyu was still young and was not in a hurry to study.
Now Jia Huan, who is two years younger than him, is about to take the first prize.
If in a year or two, Jia Lan, who is seven years younger than him, has entered school and Jia Baoyu has not even been dismissed, it will really become a joke.
When he mentioned this, Jia Zheng's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Sooner or later, I will skin this unimproved traitor!"
Jia Huan advised: "Father, Brother Bao is actually very smart. It's just that he puts all his intelligence into girls."
"If Brother Bao takes his studies seriously, he will definitely enter school earlier than Lan'er."
"In the future, if our uncle and nephew all pass the Jinshi examination, then the three of them, Lan Gui and Qifang, will definitely become a good story."
Jia Zheng smiled and looked forward to the future after what Jia Huan said, but soon he said sadly: "But this evil beast is not focused on studying, and there is an old lady protecting him, so what can be done?"
Jia Huan said: "Father, it's actually not difficult. Why not let Brother Bao go to the Imperial College to study? In the Imperial College, there is only one holiday every ten days."
"This alone is not enough. Father might as well issue a strict order. If the second brother Bao fails to pass the examination, he will not be allowed to see his elder sister."
"Then people have to watch carefully. It must be done so that Brother Bao cannot really see him. In this way, Brother Bao will give up. Even if he wants to see his sister earlier, he must work hard. Reading."
"Using this method, I believe that Brother Bao will definitely be able to go to high school the year after next."
As long as their grades are up to standard, supervisory students studying in the Imperial College can skip the primary examination, directly take the provincial examination, and pass the imperial examination.
I definitely won’t rush there this year. There was a provincial examination last year, and the examination is held every three years. There won’t be a rural examination until the year after next.
I can only wait until the year after next to take the exam.
But Jia Huan expected that even if he took the exam the year after next, Jia Baoyu would fail.
Character determines the future, and Jia Baoyu's character is destined to dislike reading serious books.
Regardless of the forty chapters of Lan Gui Qifang in the Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu won the seventh place in the imperial examination. It was really thanks to Mr. Gao E, not Mr. Cao Xueqin's original intention.
Just let Jia Baoyu take the exam. He won't be able to pass it even after ten or eight years.
The more Jia Zheng thought about it, the brighter his eyes became, and the more he thought it was feasible.
Isn't Jia Baoyu smart? You're smart, it's more than enough to gain fame!
He just didn't put his intelligence into reading.
After entering the Imperial Academy, he could no longer hang out among the maids. If he didn't study, he could only study.
Furthermore, as long as he fails to pass the exam, he will not be allowed to meet and talk to his sisters.
In order to see his sisters as soon as possible, he must study hard. Jia Zheng knew his son's nature very well.
Thinking of this, Jia Zheng couldn't wait. He quickly ordered someone to call Mrs. Wang and went to Jia's mother together.
After Jia Zheng said hello, Jia's mother couldn't help but ask: "Zheng'er, it's getting late. I wonder what you're doing?"
Jia Zheng said quickly: "Mother, now Huan'er has passed the Jinshi examination. Even Lange'er will enter school in less than two years."
"But Baoyu, that evil beast, only knows how to grow up by hanging out among the maids. Therefore, my son wants to send Baoyu to study in the Imperial Academy. And if he fails to pass the exam, he will not be allowed to see the sisters again."
Hearing this, Jia Mu was shocked and said flatly: "That's not right! Baoyu is still young and his body is weak. How can he endure such suffering? I don't allow him to go to the Imperial College."
Jia Zheng had already knelt down on the ground with tears on his face and said: "My son naturally understands how much my mother loves her grandson. However, my mother has always said that Baoyu is still young and he is still a child!"
"But isn't he younger than Brother Huan? Brother Huan is two years younger than him, and he entered the Imperial College last year to study."
"Mom, Brother Huan has passed the Jinshi examination. Brother Lang will study hard with Brother Huan. He will make progress in a few years."
"Is it possible that the mother has always allowed Baoyu to hang out among the maids? Wait for the mother to die a hundred years later, and wait for the son to pass away! How can Baoyu expect to live by then?"
"Mom, Baoyu is not young anymore. If he is not disciplined, he will really become a waste!"
"If the mother continues to stop Baoyu from going to the Imperial Academy, the son will not dare to quarrel with the mother. But the son will never ask him a word in the future and will just pretend that he is no longer a son!"
After saying this, Jia Zheng knelt down, kowtowed, and cried loudly.
Even Mrs. Wang knelt on the ground and begged: "Mother, we can protect Baoyu for a while, but we cannot protect him for a lifetime! If we continue to protect him, Baoyu will really be useless."
"My mother thought, Baoyu went to the Imperial Academy, studied hard for two years, and then passed the high school exam. After a year, he passed the Huiyuan exam, and then came back with the top score. Wouldn't he have earned enough face for his mother?"
The couple worked together and really convinced Jia Mu.
Of course, Jia Huan's sentence is indispensable here: Baoyu's understanding is ten times that of mine.
