The Red Mansions

Chapter 94
The kind of fruit in the space, Jia Yun named it the fruit of wisdom.

If it is said that Jia Yun was not sure about taking the exams before, but after getting the inheritance from the Wisdom Fruit today, she is fully sure, even the college entrance examination and high school are not impossible.

Because of his good memory, he has a very solid foundation. Compared with the natives of this world, he does not have a thorough understanding of various customs, cultures, and ancient writing.

But Wisdom Fruit helped him make up for his shortcomings. Jia Yun believed that as long as he mastered the inheritance he had obtained before the provincial examination, it would be very easy to pass the examination.

As for the various techniques of painting, they are rather trivial.

"However, it is good for my reputation to have a more elegant talent." Jia Yun thought to herself.

Soon, Li Wan came back after taking a bath, along with Suyun and Xiren.

Jia Yun smiled and said, "I can't stay in this room for now, go to the next room."

Xiren looked at the couch, took a deep breath, and felt that these two people were desperate, they were too crazy.

Li Wan was a little embarrassed, and told Suyun: "Young girl Yun, tidy up the sheets before coming here."

Suyun responded, and went forward to tidy up the sheets, and Xiren also hurried forward to help.

Jia Yun and Li Wan went to the next room and sat down.

At this time, Li Wan's face was rosy, his skin was ruddy, fluffy, indescribably smooth and tender.

Jia Yun handed the bronze mirror on the table to Li Wan, and said with a smile, "Look at it."

Li Wan was confused, took the bronze mirror to look at it, was dumbfounded, and exclaimed: "My God, how did I become younger? This is what I look like!"

She looked left and right, and the more she looked, the happier she was. After a while, she put down the bronze mirror, raised her head and said, "When I was taking a bath just now, girl Yun was still saying that water vapor nourishes people. Understood."

Then, she frowned again and said: "It's just that I have changed so much, I'm afraid it will attract people's suspicion after I return home."

Jia Yun chuckled, took out a box of snow ha oil from her sleeve, handed it to Li Wan, and said with a smile:

"You just said that it became better after using this skin. As for why you are so energetic, you say that Jialan went to Qingshan Academy to study, and you feel that you have hope, that's why you are so energetic."

This is the snow ha oil produced in the space, which has added the essence of traditional Chinese medicines such as white poria cocos, white peony root, Atractylodes macrocephala, and bletilla striata.

It can meticulously clean and penetrate the skin, relieve dry skin, lack of water, and dullness, and achieve astringent, calming, anti-sensitive and tender skin care effects.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Jia Yun went to Xue's house to pay New Year's greetings. After Xue Baochai used it, the effect was very significant.

Li Wan took it curiously, opened the box and smelled it, and a faint fragrance came out, which shocked people's spirits.

"It's really fragrant, but it's not overpowering. It's faint, faint, and faint." Li Wan said happily.

A woman is a confidant, since she followed Jia Yun, every time she came to see Jia Yun, she would dress up meticulously, but she was still as simple as before.

Jia Yun asked, "Do you like it?"

"I like it very much." Li Wan nodded, then closed the box, looked up and said:
"However, I won't go back to Jia's mansion today. I will go back to Qingshan Academy directly. When Lan'er gets used to it and he can take care of himself, I can come to see you at any time."

"You went to Qingshan Academy to rent a house?" Jia Yun asked unexpectedly.

Li Wan nodded and said: "Well, I rented a small courtyard at the foot of the academy mountain. To be honest, if I don't look at Lan'er, I will always feel uneasy."

Jia Yun said: "Alright, since you go to Qingshan Academy, you are not afraid that others will find something strange, but Jia Lan, how do you explain it to him?"

Li Wan shook his head and said, "There's no need to explain to him, could it be that I'm not his mother now that I look young?"

Jia Yun laughed loudly, nodded and said, "Well, I'm speechless at this point."

Just as they were talking, Xiren and Suyun came in. Jia Yun asked Li Wan, "Just take a break!"

"I'm happy and excited today, I don't want to rest, I will listen to you next time." Li Wan said stubbornly.

Jia Yun shook her head helplessly and said, "Yes, the quilt cover needs to be changed again!"

……

After sending Li Wan and Su Yun away, Xi Ren came back and said to Jia Yun, "It's crazy, the widow is really different, because of stuttering, she even gave up her life!"

Jia Yun glanced at her speechlessly, and said, "You don't seem to be used to it every time you don't comment a few words, right?"

"Hehe, did I say something wrong?" Xiren laughed and said, "I'm telling the truth, okay?"

"I won't quarrel with you, remember to take the time to wash the quilt cover," Jia Yun said.

Xiren nodded and said, "I know, I'll wash it if you don't tell me."

The two walked back, and as soon as they arrived in the courtyard, Xiren suddenly asked in a low voice: "Brother Yun, how did Grandma Zhu's skin get so good today? Is there any secret method?"

When she first married Jia Yun, there was a stream of air in her body, which made her not afraid of the cold in winter, and she didn't have stomach pains when menstruation came, which made her feel refreshed.

Xiren believed that Li Wan had changed so much today, there must be something happening that she didn't know about, so she was curious.

Jia Yun pondered and said: "It may be related to the qi, and I don't understand it. She said that the qi in her body was going to explode, and she was eager to ask for it from me, but it got a lot of benefits."

Xiren asked eagerly, "What benefits, will I have them too?"

Jia Yun shook her head and said, "The advantage is to wash the scriptures and cut the marrow. As for whether you will have it, I don't know. This matter is out of my control, but I hope you have it!"

"Wash the scriptures and cut the marrow? I'll drop the sky, this is a great benefit!" Xiren said with his eyes shining.

As a woman, there is nothing more attractive than this.

Xiren thought for a while and asked: "How long has she been with you? Why did she get such a big benefit? I accompany you every day, but I don't?"

Jia Yun shook her head and said: "I just said, I don't know, it should have something to do with physique!"

But he knew that it should have something to do with Li Wan being one of the twelve beauties in Jinling.

As for Xiren, she wasn't even in the supplementary volume, but the person in the supplementary volume, and there were very few fragments of the activation of the exercises, so the air flow in her body grew extremely slowly.

And people like Meiren, who didn't even have a copy of the book, seem to have no benefits.

Fortunately, Jia Yun also obtained "Breaking the Enemy Fist" from Daoist Zhang, and there are mental methods on it that can be practiced. Meiren has been practicing for more than half a year, and her strength has increased a lot, but no other effects can be seen.

After hearing Jia Yun's words, Xiren was a little disappointed. It would be fine if she didn't know the heaven-defying effect, but now that she knows, she really wants to have it once.

"It seems that every time I combine with Brother Yun, the air flow in my body becomes particularly active. Could it be related to this?" Xiren thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Xiren looked up at Jia Yun, opened his mouth, and felt that he would be too tired if he had just eaten.

"Forget it, let nature take its course!" Thinking of the exhaustion after being tortured by Jia Yun, Xiren flinched.

……

On February 26, the county trial released the list.

Early in the morning, as soon as Jia Yun finished washing, Xue Pan came to the door with his servants.

"Brother Yun, let's go and see the list!" Xue Pan yelled.

Jia Yun said helplessly: "Brother Xue, even if you want to watch the list, you don't have to follow so many people. It's too much work, and the influence is not good!"

Xue Pan pursed his lips and said, "What kind of trouble am I? On the way I came here just now, I saw a few more people than I brought!"

Then, he pointed to the servants in the front yard, and continued: "Do you think these people are here to join in the fun? They are here to clear the way. There are quite a few people going to watch the list today. If you don't bring more people there , it cannot be squeezed in."

Jia Yun really wanted to say that she could see the list clearly even if she stood far away, but he couldn't take Xue Pan's kindness seriously, so she nodded and agreed to let the servants follow.

"Let's go, look at the list!" Jia Yun said loudly.

Whether it is a mule or a horse, you can see the difference today, the top of the high school list, you can get a scholar, if you fail, then you will continue to take the government test in a few days, and move forward step by step, it just takes more time.

"Let's go!" Xue Pan also yelled, led his servants, surrounded Jia Yun, and walked towards the county government office.

Rongguofu.

Jia Zheng called the young man to the study and said, "Go to the county government office and check the list of county examinations released today, and see if Jia Yun from the third room is at the top of the list, and report back immediately if you get the letter."

The servant took the order to withdraw, and Jia Zheng squeezed his beard and murmured: "The Jia family hasn't produced any talents for a long time now, if Jia Yun is really the top of the high school list, I should prepare a generous gift and give it to me as an elder's kindness." .”

In Rongxi Hall, Mother Jia also ordered people to look at the list.

Although Jia Yun is a descendant of Sanfang, she is also a member of the Jia family. If she is really a scholar, it will be the face of the Jia family anyway, and the Jia family is also a member of it. Naturally, it has to express itself and take the first action.

The nameless courtyard is Lin Daiyu's new residence.

Since the last time she realized that she had grown up, Lin Daiyu begged Jiamu to live in a courtyard alone instead of in a place like Bishagui.

At first, Mother Jia refused to agree, saying that she wanted to take care of Lin Daiyu nearby.

Lin Daiyu complained for several days, neither eating nor drinking, and gradually became thinner. Finally, Jia Mu relented and allocated her a small courtyard nearby.

At this time, at the gate of Lin Daiyu's courtyard, Jia Baoyu was arguing with Zijuan again.

The reason for the quarrel was simple, it was because Zijuan stopped Jia Baoyu and refused to let him in.

This kind of thing happened every day recently, no matter how Zijuan tried to stop him, Jia Baoyu still persevered, rain or shine, he would come here once or several times a day.

Looking at Zijuan in front of the door with his head on his hips and high spirits, Jia Baoyu had a headache, and he said patiently: "Miss Zijuan, I really have something to do with Sister Lin today."

"Second Master Bao, I've been talking about the difference between men and women, and I beg you to listen to it. Don't make things difficult for your servant, okay?" Zijuan pursed her mouth and bowed.

Jia Baoyu stared angrily, took a deep breath, and said, "I didn't come here today to quarrel with you, but to find Sister Lin for something, so don't stop me!"

Zijuan said: "If you have anything to tell the servant girl, the servant girl will tell the girl."

"You!" Jia Baoyu pointed at Zijuan angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Believe it or not, I went to ask my ancestor to give you to me, and then I will see how I deal with you!"

Zijuan raised her head and said: "Of course I believe it, you are the second master of Bao, but I will also tell the second master that if the old lady really asks the servant to go to your place, the servant will be killed in front of your eyes!"

"How unreasonable!" Jia Baoyu cursed, then turned and left in a rage.

Zijuan heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and whispered to Lin Daiyu who was standing behind the door: "Girl, Second Master Bao is gone."

With red eyes and tears in her eyes, Lin Daiyu held Zijuan's hand and said, "It's good to have you, otherwise I don't know what to do."

"Girl, don't cry, even if the servants are desperate, they won't let the second master Bao come and ruin your reputation!" Zijuan said softly.

After a pause, Zijuan continued: "However, it seems that there is something really wrong when the servant just saw Second Master Bao coming over."

Lin Daiyu wiped away her tears and said, "What else can there be? Today is the day when the county test releases the rankings. It is probably about Jia Yun from Sanfang."

Zijuan sighed, nodded, helped Lin Daiyu back to the room, and suddenly sighed: "This is troublesome, if Brother Yun fails the examination of scholar, wouldn't it be a joke?"

As she said that, she said bitterly again: "It's all due to that bastard Jia Qin, talking nonsense everywhere, otherwise Brother Yun wouldn't be roasted on the fire, and even Sister Xiren and Sister Meiren would be sad too. "

Lin Daiyu smiled lightly and said: "What kind of mind are you talking about? It doesn't matter whether Jia Yun is in the capital of the list, as long as she is on the list, she will be successful. If she doesn't top the list, she can't become a scholar, but she can continue to take the government and hospital examinations. "

Zijuan giggled and said, "I still hope that Brother Yun can go directly to high school to be a scholar, so that Sister Xiren and Sister Meiren will be very happy too!"

As a good sister, she sincerely hopes that Xiren and Meiren can have a good home.

She has seen Jia Yun with her own eyes. He is a rare and handsome man in the world. If he can have fame and fame, even if Xiren and Meiren are just concubines, they will have a bright face.

In front of the county government office in Daxing County, people stood full of people who came to see the list, and the streets were even more crowded.

When Jia Yun and Xue Pan arrived at the gate of the county government office, they ran into Jia Rong head-on, and before they had time to greet each other, they heard a few gongs.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!" A group of yamen servants opened the way, and several officials came out holding the list with their heads held high. When they walked to the high wall, the first one shouted loudly: "Open the list..."

A few more gongs sounded, and then a yamen servant stepped forward and hung the list on the wall.

The crowd suddenly boiled, and kept moving forward, rubbing shoulders, pushing each other, all excited.

Jia Yun clasped her hands tightly, squinted her eyes, and stared at the list in the hands of the yamen servant. As soon as she unfolded it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've won, I'm number one, and I've won the first place in the case!"

Jia Yun said with joy, she was extremely excited and indescribably comfortable, she just wanted to laugh out loud, and the pores all over her body seemed to be opened.

Although he was happy, his face remained calm. After all, he couldn't show his good eyesight.

After the yamen servants hung up the list completely, Xue Pan and Jia Rong waved to the servants behind them at the same time: "Come on!"

Immediately, dozens of servants broke through the crowd like wolves and tigers, and rushed forward. Some of the slow ones fell to the ground, and immediately some servants kicked them away, regardless of whether they lived or died.

At this time, someone in front of me looked at the list, laughed loudly, danced, and cried loudly, pointing at the sky and stomping the ground, complaining about the unfairness of the sky, and some laughed and burst into tears, and the life is full of joy. state.

Soon, the strength of a large number of people was fully reflected at this time, and the servants quickly opened a passage to come out.

The people who were squeezed away cursed, looked back, and suddenly fell silent.

Xue Pan and Jia Rong were even more excited than Jia Yun, and they dragged Jia Yun straight to the bottom of the list.

"I won!" Coming to the bottom of the list, Xue Pan and Jia Rong said in unison.

Then the two looked at Jia Yun, and Xue Pan patted him on the shoulder: "Hahaha, brother Yun, you have won the case, you have won the scholar!"

Jia Rong's face flushed with excitement, she stepped forward to hold Jia Yun's hand and said, "Brother Yun, you have brought honor to our Jia family."

"My father told me early this morning to come over and have a look in person, saying that if brother Yun can pass the high school case, he will come forward in person, contribute money and efforts, and set up a three-day and three-night banquet for you to celebrate!"

Xue Pan pulled Jia Rong away and shouted: "What kind of floating mat do you want you to set up? My Xue family wants money and people, so why not just set it up at the door of Brother Yun's house instead of going to your Ningguo Mansion? "

Jia Yun held Xue Pan down, smiled and said: "Stop talking, let's go, let's go back first, the family and clan are waiting for news!"

Jia Rong said with a smile: "Why don't we notify, the messenger who announces the good news must have left early! This is also in the capital, and we have to change to a local county. Brother Yun, you have already been invited by the county government to parade in red flowers!"

The capital is obviously no different than other places. The only ones who can wear flowers to parade in the streets here are the champions, second places, and Tanhuas who come once every three years, that is, the top three in the palace examination. Others are not qualified.

Ningrong Back Street.

Several yamen servants galloped over on horseback, yelling all the way: "Congratulations, congratulations, the Jia family and Jia Yun ranked first in the Daxing County Examination, and the top case in high school!"

When the lazy dog ​​standing at the door heard the news, he ran and crawled straight to the courtyard.

"I've won! Brother Yun has won the first case! The official who announced the good news has arrived in the back street!" Laipi Gou shouted excitedly.

When Bu and others heard this, they all smiled happily.

Xiren smiled and said, "Goofy, hurry up and light the prepared firecrackers."

Then he turned around and said to Meiren: "Brother Yun and the others haven't come back yet, Sister Meiren and I are going to send off official servants with the reward money!"

As she said that, she looked back at Mrs. Mr. Mrs. Pu took out the red envelope and handed it to Xi Ren and Mei Ren: "Go!"

"Congratulations, congratulations, Jia Jia and Jia Yun are ranked No. 1 in the Daxing County Examination, top of the list in high school!"

Outside the door came the shouts of officials, accompanied by the sound of gongs.

Xiren and Meiren hurried out with red envelopes, and Aunt Miao smiled and walked out with a dustpan, which was full of copper coins.

"Crackling..." The firecrackers sounded, and Laipi Gou stepped forward to ask the two guards to come to the front yard.

Just when Xiren and Meiren came out, they handed the red envelopes to the guards. They weighed the red envelopes lightly, both showing satisfied expressions, and after saying a few words of congratulations, they turned and left.

At this time, the street at the gate was full of people, all shouting auspicious words.

Mrs. Miao walked out with a happy smile, swung the dustpan with her hand, and spilled the copper coins full of dustpan.

People rushed for copper coins one after another, and they didn't forget to say nice words.

Soon, the clan elders in the third room came with congratulatory gifts, most of which were rice noodles, bacon, sausage, chicken, duck, fish, and geese. Only the patriarch Jia Dailing bought a set of the Four Treasures of the Study.

As soon as they sat down, someone came to the door again.

This time it was Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and others from Jia's mansion who came, and they gave more congratulatory gifts, such as silver, copper coins, cloth, rice noodles, various meats, and even two healthy horses!

At this time, Mrs. Bu had already returned to the back house, and it was not convenient to come out. Xiren and the others were so busy that they were dizzy. Fortunately, Jia Yun and the others came back in time, otherwise they really didn't know what to do.

Jia Yun saluted the visitor. Before she had a sip of tea, people from the other rooms of the Jia family also sent people over. Basically, the patriarch brought the elders over. Although the congratulatory gifts were not as many as those in the big house, they were still quite a lot. .

There were too many people to sit in the living room, so Jia Zhen suggested that everyone should sit in the courtyard and discuss the celebration of Jia Yun's high school case.

Jia Zhen was the patriarch of the Dafang, and the Dafang was the most respectable of the Jia family in Beijing No. [-], so after Jia Zhen made a proposal, the general assembly didn't say anything, and they all came out of the living room and sat down in the yard.

After everyone was seated, Jia Zhen stood up and said happily: "Speaking of which, our Jia family hasn't had such a happy event for a long time."

"Today, Sanfang's younger brother, Jia Yun, is the head of the high school case. Not only Sanfang is honored, but our entire Jia family in Beijing is honored."

"I got the old lady's entrustment here, that is to celebrate Jia Yun's high school, it can't be done hastily, it should be done in a big way, at least there should be a three-day and three-night running water banquet on the street!"

"As for the expenses, our big house will bear it all."

"Of course, the old grandpa in the third room just said that we can take over, but we can only hold banquets in the back street. I am the master of this matter, and we will do it in the back street!"
