At this time, Baochai heard that the concubine had come and hurried to the upper room to greet her. Aunt Xue looked at Baochai and said,"You're already old, so it doesn't look too obvious."”"Isn't that so?" Madam Wang said."He's wearing his usual clothes." I enlarged his waist and made two new sets for him. He hasn't worn them yet.”"This is great news," Aunt Xue said. I've seen it many times. It's the body of a boy. Didn't you see when I took care of Bao 'er? She was only five months old, which is more solid than others who were seven or eight months old.”"Even so, you still have to take care of yourself this month," said Madam Wang. I told him to just rest in the room. Why would he listen?" "It's good to walk around," Aunt Xue said."The more you walk, the faster you recover." Just be careful not to touch anything."
"I want to discuss this with Concubine Wang," said Madam Wang. He was getting older by the day, and someone had to be by his side to look after him. I don't feel at ease with others. If your family can accommodate them, move in and live with them. Even if there was an attack in the middle of the night, it would save them from panic.”Aunt Xue said," That's what I was thinking too. It's just that we're at home. We'll leave all the housework to our daughter-in-law. How can we be at ease?" He was content with being poor and patient with being rich. He did not take a step randomly. Even if the child was attentive. After all, he is still a new daughter-in-law. There are many things that he doesn't know. He still needs me to lead the way for him.”
"If Concubine Wang is willing to stay here, I have another idea. Didn't you live in the two houses outside Pear Fragrance Courtyard? It was still empty at the moment, so he might as well bring them over. The side door to the garden was opened, just like a family. If you're worried, go back and take a look during the day. If there's anything urgent, they can come and ask you.”
"Things aren't the same as before," said Baochai."The garden is deserted, and the door is open. We can't keep you from going back and forth. If something happens, we won't be able to distinguish the responsibility." Secondly, Bao Chan's hoof is fat and stubborn. Although he is good at learning, I don't trust him. Don't make a fuss and make the men here laugh at you. My wife and my mother thought carefully about whether I was right.”"You're thinking too much!" said Madam Wang. The side door was usually closed and would only be opened if something happened. Was there any hindrance? Besides, which family didn't have a fight between chickens and geese? That time, on Little Feng's birthday, they had carried two families and carried two families. They had made such a big scene in front of Old Lady. Who had laughed at them?”"We're all on the same side," Aunt Xue said. If he didn't rely on the men here, he wouldn't be able to suppress the matter of his dead wife! If he wanted to laugh, he would have laughed until his chin fell off.”"Since your wife says so," he said to Baochai,"just do as she says." I'm staying here today. Send someone to tell Pan 'er and Ke' er to move in on a date.”
Baochai agreed and quickly sent a servant to inform Brother Xue Pan. On the other hand, he brought along Ying 'er, Qiu Wen, and the others to cook Aunt Xue's bed curtains and bedding as he watched them lay them out. Aunt Xue saw that he was busy walking around and said anxiously,"Aunt, don't bother me. I can't afford it if it flashes! Let them do it." From then on, Aunt Xue stayed in the Rong Mansion.
Xue Pan has always been willful, indulging in prostitution and gambling without restraint. After being imprisoned for two years, although he didn't suffer because of money, he was still locked up in prison. When he was pardoned and came back from atonement, Aunt Xue was afraid that he would cause trouble outside, so she watched him closely all day and did not let him go out. Occasionally, he would find an excuse to go out and look for Feng Ziying and a group of friends, or to stroll around Jinxiang Courtyard. When he heard that he could move back to the Jia Mansion, he could spend time with Jia Lian, Jia Rong, and other wanton children, and chase after them day and night. He was happy in his heart. She hurriedly urged her family to pack up and moved in less than five days.
The upper room was a large courtyard house. It was spacious and had a study and living room. Xue Ke only occupied three rooms in the study and went to study under the curtain. Xue Pan was busy looking for the men of the Jia family.
At this time, Jia Zhen was asking the children of the noble families to practice riding and archery in the Ning Manor Drill Ground. It turned out that Jia Zhen had always been fond of martial arts. Before this, he had also practiced archery and gambling. Because he was infected with the habits of a young master and was not good at choosing friends, he gradually gambled better than shooting. When this voice spread out, it caused the remonstrants to impeach him one after another. Later, when he went to the sea, he saw that the sea was not peaceful and the soldiers were lax, which made him even more excited to join the army. This time, he came back to tidy up the estate and eliminate the servants. Seeing those old friends, everyone was very enthusiastic when it came to archery.
At that time, there was a large open space within the walls of Fang Garden. It was Jia Zhen, the commander of the army that the Duke of Ning ordered the servants to row out the weeds, erect the archers, and buy carved bows and horses to practice on a daily basis.
At the same time, Niu Jizong, grandson of Zhenguo Duke, Liu Fang, grandson of Liguo Duke, Ma Shangqing, grandson of Zhiguo Duke, Chen Ruiwen, grandson of Qi Duke, Jiang Zining, grandson of Pingyuan Marquis, Qi Jianguang, grandson of Xiangyang Marquis, Han Qi, son of Jinxiang Bo, as well as Chen Yejun, Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and other noble descendants of Huazong, all came to attend the meeting. The disciples of the main family such as Jia Qiong, Jia Huang, Jia Heng, Jia Chang, Jia Zhi, Jia Ling, etc., some came to practice martial arts, some used this opportunity to get close to Jia Zhen, but there were also quite a few who came. The Rong family also sent Jia Huan and Jia Cong here to accompany them. During the day, they took turns to train riding and archery, and at night they gathered to drink and disperse. Jia Zhen set a rule that they would take turns to host each other, only comparing the pros and cons and not betting on the outcome, which was also a way to learn from the past to avoid future mistakes.
Xue Pan knew about this and thought that since he had delayed his studies, it was not too late to use this opportunity to practice martial arts and make contributions. I found Jia Zhen and asked him to come and join me. He was originally a part of the previous shooting school, and Jia Zhen naturally did not disagree. From then on, Xue Pan also attended the meeting on a daily basis.
One day, You-shi had nothing to do, because she had not seen riding and archery, she ordered the servants to set up bead curtains and gauze screens in three small halls beside the school field, and took Jieluan and the servant girls there to peek through the screen. He saw that the drill ground was about 20 acres, surrounded by weeping poplars. Ordinary children were riding horses around the field to try to hire. A while later, the flag was raised high and a group of ten riders ran straight towards the shield. The first arrow was aimed at the tiger's forehead, and the second and third arrows were aimed at the tiger's left and right eyes. Mrs. You saw the arrows flying from the horse like rain. After shooting, they gathered their horses and retreated. I don't know which one hit.
A while later, there was a man riding a green horse with a carved saddle and chrysanthemum. He seemed to be Feng Ziying and was supervising people to check under the shield. It turned out that the arrows were engraved with each person's name and words such as one, two, three, etc. After checking, they were marked on the name list. Only five people were hit by all three arrows, including Jia Zhen. These five people were very heavy and compared, shooting the leaves on the willow tree, but only three people hit, other than Jia Zhen, it was Qi Jianguang and Liu Fang.
After resting for a while, they suddenly heard the sound of a drum beating like thunder. A team of more than ten horses galloped off as fast as lightning, each competing for the first place. A flag was erected in front of the shield, and the man riding the red saddle green horse was about to arrive, but two horses-a golden saddle red monkey and a silver saddle yellow cong-flew past him from behind. Both of them arrived before the green horse, but the red monkey was half a head behind. Madam You saw that the one riding the red horse was Jia Zhen. She did not know anyone else. He quickly asked the servant girl to ask the servant boy who followed him. Only then did he know that the one riding the green horse was Jiang Zining and the one riding the yellow horse was Ma Shangqing.
Then he saw Jia Zhen and the others coming back. On the drill ground, there was a green wooden mountain, divided into several levels, with different heights. After a while, the ten horses galloped over the mountain again. Some couldn't cross the mountain, some lost their momentum and knelt down. Some of them were so fierce that they almost fell off their saddles.
Madam You looked worried for them, but she knew that they were all well-trained and could control them at will when the time came. When it came to snatching the flag, Jia Zhen was first, Ma Shangqing was second, and Jiang Zining had also calculated it, but there was still a huge gap. Jia Zhen and the others got off their horses and sat under the willow tree to rest. Immediately after, the second team of more than ten horses came up again.
You shi was watching with interest when Pei Feng suddenly came from the upper room and quietly replied,""West Mansion's Grandmother Zhu is here." He had to go in and see Li Wan talking for a while. He wanted to pull him out to see, but Li Wan refused, so he stopped.
The ordinary disciples here practiced until the sun sank into the mountains before going to the hall to drink. During the banquet, they talked about military strategies and the dangers of preparing troops. Xue Pan only stopped drinking and couldn't get a word in. He had always been good at riding, but because he was fat and stupid, he fell behind many times. He is competitive by nature and is not willing to lose to others. Then, he bought another big horse, black all over, with silver hooves, and placed it in the Ning Mansion Horse Shop. At daybreak, he would drag her to the drill ground and gallop back and forth alone. Sometimes, when he met Jia Rong, he would laugh at him and say,"Uncle Xue, where do you go on horseback early in the morning?" Do you still want to flirt in the reeds?" Xue Pan snorted and continued riding his horse. Jia Rong left with a smile.
Xue Ke saw that his brother went out in the morning and returned at night. He hadn't seen him for a few days, so he was suspicious that he had gone out to barge in. He only felt relieved after knowing that he practiced riding and archery in the East Mansion every day.
Aunt Xue did not know the details. Every time someone came home and asked about First Master, he would always say that he had gone out early in the morning, which made her even more suspicious. That day, he stayed at home for this matter and waited until late at night. Xue Pan came back drunk and hurried to pay his respects to Aunt Xue, saying,"Mom is back today." "If I didn't come back, would I?" Aunt Xue said. You're in a daze and haven't been home all day. No one knows that this family has been carried away? I've never seen someone like you. You've caused trouble time and time again. You've put a knife to your throat. It wasn't easy to save you, but you still don't know how to learn. Who should I count on?" "Mom, don't say that. If I don't learn well, I'll go out." Xue Pan said. Mom didn't believe him. She only asked the East Mansion,'Didn't I practice archery and riding there that day?' I can't do literature. Isn't this the right path?”
"Then how could I not know about what happened in the East Mansion?" Aunt Xue asked. He practiced archery in the open and gambled in the dark. If it wasn't for this, they wouldn't have raided the house!”"It's very different this time," Xue Pan said."They're all from decent families." Uncle Xing, Wang Ren, and the others were all wiped out. When have I ever touched dice cards in my life?”Aunt Xue said,"It's your own fault. If you make trouble again, I won't care."”"Mom, don't worry. I still need to rely on my bow and horse to get an official position in the future. I'll ask for a title for Mom!"”
"As long as you don't cause trouble, I don't want to be rich." Aunt Xue said.”
Xue Pan accompanied Aunt Xue and said a few more words. After Aunt Xue fell asleep, he went back to his room.
The next day, he woke up early and didn't dare to go out. He had breakfast with Aunt Xue and chatted with her for a while before personally sending her to the Rong Mansion. As they walked past the Grand View Garden, they met Jia Lan head-on and greeted Xue Pan,"Uncle Xue, are you free today?”"I've been practicing these days, so it's time for me to rest." She just sent our old lady here." He then asked Jia Lan where he was going. "Grandpa is calling me," Jia Lan said. Then they went their separate ways.
Jia Lan walked into the upper room. Jia Zheng was sitting on the brick bed, reading a book. Madam Wang was sitting on her usual recliner and quickly went forward to pay her respects. "I didn't ask you about this," Jia Zheng said."Have you written down all the scrolls?"”Jia Lan said," Grandpa instructed me to do my homework. I'll write two or three portions of each type of homework every day, but it doesn't seem to be good."”"You estimate that in half a day's time, can you write down a seven-and-a-half-page paper?" Jia Zheng asked.”Jia Lan said,"I only write for an hour every two chapters, but I've never tried the whole book."”"When you're familiar with it in a few days, you should practice writing the entire book." I see that you usually write too many broken words. You have to be extra careful. At least it was secondary. With the broken font, it could be seen at a glance. With the yellow signature, it could not be placed in front.”Jia Lan repeatedly replied,"Yes."
Jia Zheng added,"It's good to be familiar with two more articles."”"Master has ordered to write an article every three days," Jia Lan said.”Jia Zheng asked what the topic was,"Jia Lan said,"The first lesson was 'Uncle Guan rebelled against Yin,' and the next lesson was 'Winter of the Year.'”Jia Zheng said," The topic of the class focuses on the word 'Yi'. In the previous essay, the first sentence of the article was' Wu Geng is not a person who can betray you'. The first sentence of the article was 'Wu Geng is in a situation where he has no choice but to betray you'.'The two sides corresponded, carving out the essence of the word 'Yi'. It is a warning to write an essay in such a way.‘The chapter 'Sui Han' emphasized the three words 'then know'. If one did not look at it from this point on, it would be an article with the four words' pine and cypress withered'. Have you experienced it?" "That's what Master said," Jia Lan said.”Jia Zheng asked again,"Do you have the manuscript with you?"”"Grandson still has the script for class with him."”As he spoke, he took out two pieces of red checkered paper from his bosom and presented them to Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng saw that there were many dense circles on the manuscript. He knew that Dai Ru had read it before, so he took a mirror and looked at it carefully from the beginning. He felt that from the beginning, he was full of literary spirit. Starting stocks and middle stocks can also be used according to the theme and play effectively. Looking at the last two small shares, Dai Ru closed the circle and wrote the words "Eyes like a torch" on the grid. The article is: How can the enemy of Taibai stand side by side under the high sky? Yin and famous for rebellion, is the Zhou Dynasty people's song and dance. Even if it does not help them to rise up, it is only to show your love and follow the white horse of the guests. The situation of conscription and punishment, can not ask for forgiveness between flesh and blood, Guan Shu betrayed the letter, this is Ji Zong ashamed of his kindness.
If you can finally get the bottom of your achievements, how can you know that you can't correct your name, usurp the throne and kill him?
Jia Zheng read it twice and also found it very interesting, but felt that his writing was too sharp. He said to Jia Lan,"Your master thinks these two are very good, but I think they're too revealing. They're not suitable for the field." Moreover, the atmosphere of the exam was different from that of the provincial examination. The provincial examination also took talent, but when it came to the exam, it always took the stable article. Just look at the recent subjects and you'll know.”"Yes," Jia Lan agreed. Seeing that Jia Zheng had nothing to say, he was about to leave when he heard Madam Wang call out,"Lan 'er!" He walked up to Madam Wang and said,""Working hard is a good thing, but your health is also important. I heard that your son took the exam at Shoushan Academy the other day. When he came back, he stayed until the third or fourth watch. It was too bad for his health! Remember not to stay up late in the future." "I usually go to bed early," Jia Lan said.”Madam Wang said,"My children: Your eldest aunt became the empress and went to enjoy her life. Your father was sick when he was young. He finally got married, went to school, and gave birth to you. I was just about to like him, but he went. As for your Second Uncle Bao, if you pamper him a little, he will also be in trouble. I just got married and passed the imperial examination. Your second aunt had a wedding and he left me behind again. But who should I count on? I can only count on you now. Your grandfather is already Wang Liu's son. The heavy burden of the family is all on you.
I want to..." When she said the word "yes", she could not help but swallow her tears and could not continue! Hearing this, Jia Zheng was also extremely sad, so he walked out alone.
Jia Lan was distressed and could only endure it and console Madam Wang,""Madam, don't worry. I won't leave. In terms of knowledge, my experience is very shallow, but based on what I have learned from reading, I feel that the great articles and great economy of the ancients came from the words loyalty and filial piety. We are a family of generations of wealth. If we receive a great kindness in vain and do not repay it, where is the word loyalty? Master and madam cherish me and hope that I will become an adult. If I don't help my father to show off, where will the word filial piety go? Losing loyalty and filial piety, losing the foundation, not only did the ointment Liang Wenxiu waste; He was lucky enough to get Ling Wen Guang's reputation, which was equivalent to deceiving the world and gaining fame, not worth mentioning!”
Madam Wang was very happy to hear this. He pulled Jia Lan and said,"Good child, you have such ambition. At least your father didn't give birth to you in vain." In the future, you must remember,"The more competitive you are, the more you have to take care of yourself." Your grandfather couldn't stand it anymore and went out while holding back his tears.”Jia Lan agreed and returned to the study.
From then on, he worked hard every day. He wrote a book and presented it to Jia Zheng for him to read. Jia Zheng also helped him give it to his old family friends and taught them many regular script methods.
It's easy to pass in a hurry, and it's already the first ten days of March. Li Wan saw that the date was approaching and hurriedly ordered the servants to take out the stage equipment and personally check it out. Some of the curtains, walls, oil curtains, rolls, etc. should be repaired, some should be added, and all were prepared. Because of Baoyu's accident last year, Lady Wang and Li Wan were particularly worried when they arrived at the scene. The experienced and capable stewards were selected and sent to the entrance. He was also afraid that other small residences would not be too strict, so Chancellor Li's house happened to live near the examination hall, so he discussed with him to borrow five halls in the garden for Jia Lan's temporary congratulations and asked the Li family to help him pick her up and send her off. It could be considered a thorough arrangement, meticulous.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, when they were moving to their apartment, Jia Lan first went to Jia She and Jia Zheng's place and returned to the venue. Jia She only said some auspicious words, while Jia Zheng carefully instructed them. He returned to the upper room and said goodbye to Lady Wang and Li Wan. Madam Wang also repeatedly reminded her, and then remembered that last year, the uncle and nephew went to the imperial examinations together. Now that Jia Lan was the only one left, she couldn't help but shed tears! Li Wan even pulled Jia Lan and refused to let go. After talking about this, she seemed to have forgotten about that, as if she wanted to keep her distance from something else. It was still late for Jia Zheng, so he came in to urge them to leave. If you want to know whether Jia Lan is good or not, wait until he doesn't turn back and analyze.
