However, she was worrying too much. She wasn't the only one who had eaten it. Moreover, it didn't matter if she ate a few crabs. It was just that she was a little paranoid now.
The red musk skewer lay quietly on the table. The couple didn't want to touch it again. After a while, Jia Lian sighed,"Put it away. If Second Mistress asks, just say that I took it."”
With that, he put the red musk skewer into a small box in the room. Then he turned around and said to Sister Feng,"I'll go to the school first. Brother Huan has always been a genius. I reckon he'll hand in his paper soon."”
Sister Phoenix nodded her head numbly, then gritted her teeth and thought,"So I'm still too young. When he saw something good, he couldn't take his eyes off it and tried to grind it over, but he didn't expect it to fall into the other party's trap.”
When Jia Lian arrived outside the academy, he saw that Jia Huan had not come out yet. He immediately said,"It's time to come out. It was just a formality, but Brother Huan was too serious.”
"Second Master, you don't know." Brother Huan's teacher is looking forward to the capital examination this time. Brother Huan is still working hard inside, let's wait a little longer.”
Jia Lian smiled,"Even if you get the first place in the case, you're just a student." He could even become the top scorer in one go! Hurry up and come out. I'm still waiting to serve him wine.”
As the few of them were chatting and laughing, Jia Huan came out of the examination hall unsteadily.
The article was well written. These few months had not been wasted. When he handed in his paper, the Great Grandmaster Li Rugui had even tested him. The Great Grandmaster was also extremely satisfied with Jia Huan and pointed at him on the spot.
How could he miss?
When Jia Lian saw Jia Huan come out, he hurriedly asked,"Brother Huan, how is it?"
"The Great Grandmaster has chosen me." Jia Huan smiled.”
"Let's go!" Jia Lian said happily. I'll set up a banquet for you!"
"There's no rush," Jia Huan said. Let's wait for the results to be released before we drink.”
"I should thank you, brother," Jia Lian said in a low voice.”
Jia Huan knew that Jia Lian already knew, so he said,"We're brothers, what's there to thank?”
Jia Lian rubbed his hands and said,"That's good." Then let's wait for the results to be released and celebrate!”
After returning home, Madam Wang already knew that Jia Huan had successfully entered the arena, and her heart couldn't help but turn cold. He had spent so much effort, but he still could not stop Huan Lao San from taking the exam. Moreover, Jia Huan would definitely be even more careful in the next few days. It seemed impossible to stop Jia Huan from obtaining an official rank.
On the other side, Jia Huan returned to Pear Fragrance Courtyard. Caiyun and the others had already prepared dinner. Jia Huan was already starving, but when he saw dinner, he was a little hesitant. Caiyun smiled and said,"Third Master, don't worry. Mother Jiang brought this from her own house.”
Jia Huan was relieved." That's good. I was starving in the examination hall."”Then, he swept up the clouds and ate until his belly was round.
After eating, Caiyun fetched hot water and helped Jia Huan burn his feet. After a day in the examination hall, Jia Huan was really tired. Burning his feet could relieve his fatigue.
Looking at Caiyun who was seriously washing his feet, Jia Huan sighed,"The good days of our courtyard are coming soon.”
If Jia Huan successfully obtained the official rank of a student, then his status in the Jia residence would definitely be different. Although the world had mocked the students as "sour scholars" and "rotten scholars", this did not prevent them from coveting these things that they could not get.
Caiyun wiped Jia Huan's feet dry and said casually,""Third Master, hurry up and rest. There are still a few days to go before the exam.”Then, she carried the water out.
Looking at Caiyun's graceful waist, Jia Huan suddenly felt that he was born in the Jia residence and really did not look like a silkpants.
For the next two days, Jia Huan answered the papers seriously. After the exam, as usual, he had to write an essay and show it to Qian Yuben.
Qian Yu was no longer as idle as before, and Jia Huan also deliberately chose the time to go over.
Seeing Jia Huan's test paper, Qian Yuben nodded and said,""You've improved since the last time. It can be seen that you've put in a lot of effort these past few months. What did the grandmaster say?"
Jia Huan replied," The student handed in the paper in advance. The Grandmaster asked the student a few questions and selected the student on the spot.”
Qian Yuben nodded and said,"This is what it should be." He would go home and rest until the results were released.”
Jia Huan replied respectfully, then bade farewell and went home.
On the other side, Madam Wang was not idle either. She was making her last effort. While Jia Huan was busy writing in the government school, Madam Wang rarely went back to her mother's house.
Her maternal brother, Wang Zisheng, received her.
"Younger Sister hasn't come back for a long time. I thought that you had forgotten about your paternal family.”The moment Wang Zisheng opened his mouth, Madam Wang's head hurt. She really didn't want to talk to this second brother of hers. She really couldn't bring herself to talk to him. She would choke to death if she spoke to him.
However, Madam Wang still had to be patient."I haven't been back for a long time. I wonder how my family is doing. Looking at Second Brother's expression, it seems like he doesn't welcome me back.”
Wang Zisheng, who was choked, didn't notice.""No, no, no. I'm so happy that my sister is willing to come back.”Then, he looked behind Madam Wang and asked,"What's wrong? Our nephew didn't come with you?"
"I came in a hurry this time, so I couldn't bring him along," said Madam Wang hatefully. This Mo Xing had gone crazy long ago. If his father didn't release it, he would definitely break his legs.”
"Is Big Brother home?" I have something to tell you."
Wang Zisheng looked at her from the corner of his eyes and said," If you want Baoyu to marry my Lan 'er, then don't open your mouth!"”
Madam Wang knew that Wang Zisheng looked down on Jia Baoyu, so she was a little upset. However, she still said,""Our Wang family's daughter has nowhere to marry? Do you have to marry into the Jia family?"
Wang Zisheng nodded and said seriously,""It's good that you know this. Eldest brother is in the study, you can go over directly.”Then, he staggered out of the door.
Wang Ziteng was practicing calligraphy in the study.
Calligraphy could calm one's heart and nourish one's spirit. Although Wang Ziteng's roots were in the military, he had always harbored ambitions. He knew that the court was his home. Otherwise, even if he became the Left Commander-in-Chief in the military, he would still be a warrior in the eyes of the literati. He would still have no right to speak in the court.
Madam Wang sat quietly at the side. She did not dare to disturb her eldest brother when he was writing.
Finally, Wang Ziteng finished writing the last stroke. He looked at his own words and was full of energy. A satisfied smile appeared on his face. Without turning around, he said directly,"Younger Sister must have something to do with her sudden return this time?”
"Big Brother, you know that." Madam Wang said directly. That bastard son of mine, Brother Huan, I'm really disgusted.”
"Then just stay away," Wang Ziteng said lightly. It was fine if he didn't pay his respects.”
"It's not that!" said Madam Wang.”
"Then what do you mean?" Wang Ziteng asked curiously.”
Lady Wang gritted her teeth and said," Well, Brother Huan has already gone to participate in the Dao examination. As long as nothing goes wrong, he will definitely be able to obtain a student's honor." Baoyu hadn't gone offline yet. I want to ask big brother for help to suppress brother Huan. The gap between the two brothers couldn't be too big.”The reputation of suppressing a bastard's son did not sound good, but Wang Ziteng was his eldest brother. He had said it out loud. Could it be that he still had to pretend to be virtuous in front of him?
Wang Ziteng looked at his sister coldly and said slowly,""Do you know that Jia Huan is the chief investigator of Jiangning County's county examination?”
"I know." Madam Wang lowered her head and replied.”
"Do you know that the head of the case must be a member of the police?" Wang Ziteng continued.”
Madam Wang's heart sank, but she didn't dare not reply."I know."
"Who do you think your big brother is?" Wang Ziteng sneered. How dare he make such a request? Did she think that her family was too glorious? Or do you want to roast me on the fire?"
"Big Brother," pleaded Madam Wang. It might be difficult to praise someone, but it's very easy to suppress someone…"
Before she could finish her sentence, Wang Ziteng waved his hand and interrupted her,""You can't trust the words of people on the road! I, your brother, am not strong enough to interfere with the imperial examinations.”
The hope in Madam Wang's eyes gradually disappeared. She did not know that to restrict Jia Huan from obtaining fame, unless the Emperor personally took action, even the chief assistant of the cabinet could not do it.
After leaving the Wang family, Madam Wang did not get her answer. She came with hope, but when she left, she felt bitter.
