Shenjing·Ningguo Mansion.
There are many people coming and going in the house, and they walk very fast. People come and go, come and go, but they are just tired from running around for three or four copper coins.
Baozhu came to Qin Keqing's room. After seeing Qin Keqing, he slowed down at the entrance and walked in lightly. He came to Qin Keqing's side and said, "Grandma, the mother-in-law over there in Rongguo Mansion and The maids are all saying that Master Yun was selected as a scholar in Jinling Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, and now these people are rushing to visit Sister-in-law Bu!"
"Really? He can be so promising?" Qin Keqing was also stunned when he heard this. On the note placed on the desk, there was clearly written the poem that Jia Yun came to borrow money for as collateral! She stretched out her hand to pick up the note on the desk, and recited it softly again, "If life is just like the first time we met, why is the autumn wind sad and painted with a fan? It is easy to change the heart of an old friend, but the human heart is easy to change."
"The poems are definitely excellent poems, and the people are also excellent people."
Qin Keqing stared blankly at the note in his hand and did not continue talking. He closed his eyes and recalled that he had met Jia Yun before. The figure of a tall and handsome man appeared in his heart for some reason. Thinking of this, he was frightened. She jumped and hurriedly dismissed the thoughts in her mind, not daring to keep them in her mind. Then she looked at the maid Baozhu beside her and said: "He still owes me one hundred taels of silver! When he comes back, I have to let him go. He quickly returned the money."
"Pfft." Bao Zhu covered her mouth, snickered, and said, "Let me see! Grandma, this is..."
The words stopped abruptly, and I didn't dare to continue speaking. If I continued speaking, it would be a taboo.
Speaking of which, although Baozhu is a maid, she is also a maid with far-sightedness. She really looks down on the eldest young master Jia Rong and the eldest master Jia Zhen in the Ningguo Mansion. They are a nest of snakes and rats, full of trouble, and their behavior is extremely Decaying and despicable, if it were not for relying on the glory of our ancestors, I am afraid that the glory and wealth of this Ningguo Mansion would have disappeared long ago and ceased to exist. Instead, it treats people like Jia Yun who came from a bad background, but worked hard, and now through hard work and hard study, he has become a scholar. As a scholar, I feel quite fond of it.
However, these things are the affairs of the masters. As a maid, even though she has thoughts and ideas in her heart, she dare not say them out. She cannot say them out, lest someone overhears them and tells the masters in the house, and she will end up miserable. .
Suddenly, someone came in from outside and heard a voice, "Daughter-in-law, are you still there?"
"Master Zhen is here!"
Hearing this voice, the faces of maid Baozhu and Qin Keqing suddenly darkened. Qin Keqing's face changed slightly, and he was cowardly. However, after maid Baozhu took a look at Qin Keqing's condition, there was a firm look in her eyes, and she said: "Big Grandma, be careful, I'll go find Jiao Da right now."
After saying that, maid Baozhu left Qin Keqing's room and went to find Jiao Da.
.......
Shenjing* Imperial Palace.
Emperor Yongtai was reviewing the memorial when he suddenly saw the secret information from the stick. When he opened the secret memorial, he also frowned.
The eunuch chief Nei Xiang Daiquan walked over from the side with hot soup, glanced at the content secretly, and was shocked for a moment, "How could a descendant of the Jia family in Shenjing be able to produce such a world-class literary talent?" ? It’s really amazing!”
The content above is the news about Jia Yun’s “county case” in Jinling Prefecture Imperial Examination High School.
"What do you think of this Jia Yun?"
Emperor Yongtai put the memorial in Dai Quan's hand, thought deeply, picked up the hot soup, blew a little breath, and after taking a sip, he looked at the slightly swaying candlelight, knowing that the confidant eunuch beside him was The steward Dai Quan has always been a cautious person, so he said again: "Say it! I will not punish you."
"This Jia Yun is a side member of the Jia family. Her status is not too high. She lost her father when she was young. She still has an old mother at home. She relies on working for wealthy people to make a living. Her life is not easy. I have also heard that three Years ago, this Jia Yun accidentally bumped her head and was stupid for two or three years. Now this person has enlightened. Jinbang High School can be regarded as a descendant of the old Guogong Yinze."
Dai Quan's words were more inclined to say some good things for Jia Yun, and he roughly told the whole story of the whole matter without bias.
The Jia family gave Dai Quan a lot of money every year as a filial piety. Every time he went there, it was at least a few hundred to a thousand. Therefore, Dai Quan, who had received the money, was considered a person who repaid his kindness. At this time, he took the initiative to help Jia Yun said good things, "This Jia Yun is famous all over the world, which is enough to show that your majesty governs the country well and can produce such talents for thousands of years. It is the auspiciousness that comes from your majesty's enlightenment to the world and being perceived by heaven and earth!"
Dai Quan picked out some interesting content and told it to Emperor Yongtai in front of him. He also secretly observed Emperor Yongtai's face and knew that the emperor should re-employ Jia Yun.
"The side door of Jia Mansion? Then wait a little longer!"
Emperor Yongtai pondered slightly.
He is also quite satisfied with Jia Yun's identity. As a side sect of the Jia family, this identity is quite interesting and has enough room for operation.
In short, this time Jia Yun can be regarded as leaving the impression of a talented scholar in the emperor's mind, and her future prospects are limitless!
After Dai Quan took a look, he wisely withdrew. Before leaving, he was still thinking, "It seems that the wealth of the Shenjing Jia Mansion will last for many more years!"
Originally, the four major families did not stand with the current emperor, but were loyal to the Supreme Emperor. The Jia family was involved in the case of deposing the crown prince that year. Although the wealth was saved, the current emperor always had thoughts in his mind and did not like the Jia family. Maybe soon. In the future, it is not certain that Jia's house will be ransacked.
However, the current rise of Jia Yun makes this matter seem to have a turning point and another possibility. It is impossible to say that this Jia Yun can maintain the glory of the Jia family for hundreds of years again, and it is not necessarily possible to revive the Jia family again.
No matter how the situation in Shenjing changes and people's hearts fluctuate, Jia Yun, who is far away in Jinling Prefecture, is studying hard at home and preparing for the imperial examination.
The government examination will be in April this year.
There are only one or two months until the end of the county examination, and the opportunity is fleeting.
Most of the children also came to Jinling Mansion, planning to participate in this government examination.
But Tong Sheng, who stayed at the inn, did not return home.
They also plan to give it a try to see if they have the luck to pass the government examination again and obtain the qualifications to participate in the college examination.
The eight-room Tianxiang Restaurant in front of the county government office was almost overcrowded during the imperial examination days. There were more than a hundred scholars in long robes sitting around, maybe in small groups, or calling friends. Imperial examination scholars who plan to participate in the government examination.
Some were drinking, some were lost in thought, some were reciting poems, and some were drunk and burst into tears.
The whole Tianxiang Building is very lively and noisy. Jia Yun was invited by Jia Ying to have dinner here today, saying that they had important matters to discuss.
