Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 1 He went north from the southern border
Four years of Jiade, Jia Ying came to the world of Red Mansions No.16 years.

In the fourth year of Jiade, the Supreme Emperor returned to the west, and Xuanlong's residual prestige finally began to gradually dissipate.

In the fourth year of Jiade, he issued an order to Fengtianmen, spread it all over the world, reopened Enke, and rehabilitated the old staff.

In the fourth year of Jiade, Jia Ying set off from Yunnan Mansion.

"One is Langyuan fairy flower, and the other is beautiful jade flawless. If there is no romance, I will meet him again in this life."

On the official road with few pedestrians, two horse-drawn carriages swayed one after the other, and a white flag was hung on the frame of the carriage behind, pulling two nanmu coffins.

People who have traveled north and south know that this is the carriage of Yaling, and they don't know which unlucky person died in a foreign land.

Out of respect for the dead, occasionally pedestrians give way to the road and follow them first.

Just looking at the face of the old servant who drove the carriage, there was little sadness, listening to the humming from the carriage in front, and taking a sip of the cold wine in the gourd from time to time.

A passer-by couldn't help sighing, and whispered to his companions: "Such a family style is really the root of a prodigal family!"

These days, there are very few unjust souls who died in foreign lands. Most of them were dragged to random graves with a curtain of straw mats funded by the local government and buried in a hurry.

And look at the coffin on the car is also unusual, it must have belonged to a wealthy family, what a pity
Sons are not filial and grandsons are not virtuous, and servants are also guilty of three parts!
It's just that those passers-by who did two or three good deeds couldn't hide the jealousy in their eyes.

We are also people on the windy and snowy road, why do you have a car carved in your BMW, a fleece coat and mink fur, and you have strong wine to warm up, we have to walk around in sackcloth and bad shoes.

"Hey, God is really blind!"

"Think of how many teardrops there are in my eyes, how can I prevent autumn from flowing to the end of winter, and spring to summer."

In the carriage in front, the humming finally settled down, and it took a long time before a man's lazy voice came out from behind the curtain:

"Xi'er, how is your master singing?"

The chauffeur driving the cart was not very old, but he was capable inside and out. While shaking the bridle, he flattered him and said, "Second Lord's song is really nice, but... don't be afraid of Second Master's jokes, everyone in Kunming city It's a small theater, and I listen to many songs on weekdays, but I didn't realize what the second master sang, but the people in the song are definitely not bad, so I can hear it, hehe."

The man in the carriage snorted lightly and said: "You boy, you are not very old, how come you can go to the playground, I am afraid that all the money in the past has been spent on it, be careful, I know, reveal Your skin!"

Xi'er knew that she had slipped her tongue, stuck out her tongue, and begged: "Second Master, you must not let my father know about this, the red mark on the buttocks from last time is still there, No matter what, it has to stop for two days! If it goes on like this, the old Zhou family will never be seen again!"

The man in the carriage was so teased that he couldn't stop laughing. He stuck a foot out from the curtain of the carriage and kicked Xi'er's ass twice, saying: "Your father is like a gourd that has been sawed off. A broken mouth with no taboos!"

The voice changed: "I'm afraid we are going to Yueyang ahead, hurry up, we will change boats when we arrive at Yueyang, and Jinling will not be far away."

After hearing this for a while, Xi'er forgot her distress, and said happily, "Second Master, don't we stay in Yueyang for a few more days? I often hear people say that the Yueyang Tower in Baling is magnificent, and there are often officials like Second Master. The old men are reciting poems and prose there! Take the little ones to open your eyes too!"

Xi'er, only fourteen or sixteen years old, and this is the first time she has traveled far, so she is naturally very curious about everything.

It's just that Jia Ying didn't want to delay too much in northern Hunan. The four provinces in western Xinjiang have been rioting for a day or two. Although there have been news of white bandits fleeing north recently, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be scattered bandits.

Especially since he was going to Beijing to take the exam, if he accidentally got involved with the white bandits, it was better to be cautious.

Besides, Xi'er, after going out for a trip, became more and more escaped. The capital city is no better than Nanjiang.

He changed his mind and said, "You boy, you can be the master of the master!"

Xi'er knew she was talkative, so she hurriedly said: "Let me tell you that if you have ten more courages, you won't dare to be master of the master. It is more important to send the second master's wife back to her hometown!"

Jia Ying's expression softened: "It's good that you know!"

But after all, he is a playmate since he was a child, and he can't compare with his knowledge of life in two lifetimes. His heart softened, and he said in relief:

"Xi'er, don't you want to know what song Master is singing? Then go to Jinling early, maybe you can meet the fairy singing in the song."

Xi'er raised her eyebrows and said excitedly, "Really?"

Jia Ying changed her voice and said, "Did you tell a lie?"

"Second Master, sit still! Drive! Drive!"

The carriage rumbled along, while the old servant who was holding the spirit behind was not in a hurry, no matter how fast the carriage in front was going, he was not far or near, and he could tell at a glance that he was a good horseman.

Inside the carriage, Jia Ying was wearing a green shirt and a commoner, with a wooden hairpin tied into her hair in a bun, and a big off-white cloak on the outside, dressed like a humble scholar.

But if you really want to treat him as a humble scholar, it will be a big mistake.

These days, poor families cannot afford to ride in a carriage, let alone bring two servants, one old and one young.

At this time, Jia Ying was relying on the cushion to doze off, but his thoughts flew to the misty and rainy land in the south of the Yangtze River thousands of miles away, and the capital city in the north.

"Speaking of fairies."

"Calculating the time, it has been six years since I came to Beijing with my father when I was young. I passed by Yangzhou at that time, and I met Daiyu once, but Daiyu was only three or four years old at that time, so I can't talk about a fairy. The fairy one is real, but I don’t know what it looks like now.”

"Aunt Jia Min also passed away more than a year after entering Beijing that time. By now, Jia Yucun must have been a teacher in the Lin Mansion for almost two years."

I don't know when the old lady will send someone to pick up the grandson in Yangzhou city.
"Well, it's too soon to think about it. It's hard to say that this time it won't happen to be together."

This year, Jia Ying has also read the newspapers sent to various places in the capital, not only reopening Enke, but also rehabilitating old employees in various places.

At the beginning of the first lunar month, the news spread that the Taishang Dragon was the guest of honor, and Jia Ying was still depressed for a long time.

The emperor's new mourning, although it is the Supreme Emperor, is a real dragon after all, so the triennial Spring Festival is postponed without limit.

By the time a great national funeral was over, it was already the beginning of March, and the day of spring had passed.Today, because of face, there was no decree to choose another auspicious day to start the department. In this way, if you want to take the imperial examination, you have to wait another three years.

How many three years can there be in life?
Jia Ying, who has been a man for two lifetimes, has her own pursuit.

Think about the characters in the history books of previous lives: Zhang Shuda, Li Shaoquan, and Liang Rengong, none of whom were elected at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

Of course, Jia Ying is not so arrogant that he thinks he is smarter than these people, but he can't stand his two lives!
Set a small goal for yourself: a scholar at the age of 12!
Although he came to the world of the Red Mansion inexplicably in this life, he didn't drive halfway, but really spent sixteen springs and autumns in this world.

It can be said that when he was still naked, he began to work hard secretly!

Today, I have a class at Wang’s private school, and tomorrow Gao’s bookstore will follow the book. For the first time in my life, I didn’t call my father, but: “A gentleman said: You can’t learn it.”

A wave of operations shocked half of Yunnan Province.

Ever since he knew that his Jia was the same Jia as the Jia of Jinling City, he became more determined to pursue an official career.

The Jia family has almost come to an end on the road of nobility, and it will be a dead end if they go on. If they want to change their fate, they can only take an official career.

With the name of a child prodigy, Jia Ying finally made it to the age of 11, one year before he could complete his small goal. He also successfully passed the county and government examinations, obtained the qualification of a child student, and became a veritable child prodigy.

Just waiting for a blockbuster at the age of 12 to go to Tongtian Tower.

However, in the autumn of the same year, the chieftain of Yizhou rebelled. His father, Jia Yu, who was the commander of the Yunnan Guard at that time, led the army to quell the rebellion. He was poisoned and died. , also died in Dongyue.

A pot of cold water was poured from head to toe. Although he has the memory and mind of the previous life, but in the past ten years of getting along with him, the love of his parents for him cannot be faked. , Naturally, he missed the government examination.

Fortunately, my mother is the only daughter of the chieftain of the Mu family in southern Xinjiang, and she has a grandfather who loves Jia Ying very much, so Jia Ying has been raised by the Mu family to this day.

It wasn't until the filial piety last year that Jia Ying, who had been in Tibet for three years, couldn't wait to take part in the college examination. After passing the examination, she went on to take part in the Qiuwei of the same year, and won the Xie Yuan of Yunnan Province.

Of course, Jia Ying also knew that he, Xie Yuan, was suspected of playing tricks.

Leaving aside the accumulation of the two dynasties, it is only said that the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou have not been established for a long time, and the style of writing has not flourished. Since the past dynasties, the province of Guizhou has never held scientific examinations. Huguang will try.” It wasn’t until the 51st year of Xuanlong in this dynasty that Guizhou’s administrative history was requested: Huguang was changed to Yunnan.

It was not until the 57th year of Xuanlong that the court proposed that the number of places in the provincial examinations in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces be increased from eleven to thirty, of which twenty were placed in Yunnan Prefecture and ten in Guizhou Prefecture. Since then, it has become a custom.

However, since the first year of Jiade, there have been white bandits in Guizhou, and no one can control the various chieftains, and the disputes are endless. In the history of Guizhou's administration, most of the time in a year is spent in other provinces. According to the inspector, he has been complaining about illness since he took office, and he has not heard of any improvement until today.

With such a political style and people's sentiments, the province of Guizhou can accommodate a few desks, but those who have some money at home have fled to other places early.

Therefore, there were only six scholars who came from Guizhou to take the exam last year in Qiuwei. The number of places for the Yunnan-Guizhou provincial examination has long been fixed. Six Guizhou candidates are taken, and there are still four vacancies. The examiner was Feng Yankuan, the censor of the right capital of the Nanjing Procuratorate. His ancestral home was originally from Yunnan Province, so he naturally favored disciples from his hometown. After handing over a memorial, he allocated the remaining four vacancies to Yunnan candidates.

In this way, the number of candidates for the provincial examination in Yunnan has increased to 24. Although it is not comparable to other provinces with major scientific examinations, it has also greatly increased the proportion of the mid-term examination. You must know that all the candidates for the provincial examination in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces are only 120, compared with other provinces. With hundreds or thousands of candidates at every turn, the scholars in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces will be much happier.

This year's Guizhou Scholars are even more funny, as long as they can come, they are Juren.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally much easier for Jia Ying to be able to solve the Yuan, and of course he must have real talents in his belly.

Finally, he won the Juren, but caught up with the national funeral. Jia Ying, who had already given up hope, did not expect a turnaround. Emperor Jiade suddenly decreed to reopen Enke and restore the old staff.

This is why one master and two servants traveled from southern Xinjiang to the north this time. One is to participate in the Enke Exam, and the other is to help the spirit return to the hometown. Back to Jinling for burial, it was just that Jia Ying was too young to travel far, and grandfather Mu Tianchi couldn't bear to part with his grandson, so it was delayed again and again, until now, Jia Ying is sixteen years old and has grown up. Don't worry about allowing him to return home.

After making arrangements for her parents, Jia Ying will go north by boat via the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, passing through Yangzhou on the way. Jia Min's aunt passed away many years ago, and her nephew and nephew passed by. There is no reason not to go to worship.

Besides, the reinstatement of former members this time, with Jia Yucun's character of "asking for a good price in the box and waiting for the time to fly in the box", how could he easily miss this great opportunity.

Since Jia Yucun went to the capital, the old lady's car and boat to take her grandson to Beijing would probably also go to Yangzhou City.

"I really want to enter Jia's mansion with sister Lin." Jia Ying thought to herself.

"As for Jia Yucun"

To be honest, how many people who have read The Red Chamber will like him?It's just that some things can't be solved by saying "don't like".

"The intersection with Jia Yucun seems inevitable, so that's the only way to go."

A sudden commotion outside interrupted Jia Ying's thoughts, she hurriedly raised the curtain and asked, "Xi'er, what happened outside?"

Xi'er stood on the car and watched from a distance for a while, and replied: "Second Master, there is a government officer blocking the road ahead, and the passers-by will be checked, and I will wait for the younger one to go and inquire."

Jia Ying nodded, took out a few grains of silver from her purse and handed it over to Xi'er as a servant.

Not long after, I saw Xi'er running back and forth in a hurry: "Second Master, I have asked clearly. It is said that a group of white bandits made a big disturbance in Yueyang City and robbed several leaders. At this moment, the Chayamen is ordering arrests." , the gates of Yueyang City are sealed, we may not be able to enter today."

"According to the Cha Yamen?"

Jia Ying frowned slightly, and sighed in her heart: "I'm really afraid of something, I hope I just escaped a few white bandits."

Immediately, he explained to Xi'er: "Go to the outside of Yueyang City to see the situation before making any plans."
