The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 69 Intense Competition

Jia Huan swiped his pen and wrote hundreds of words eloquently. Then he put down the pen in satisfaction and said: "If this article is not good, then there will be no good ones."

Although Ping'er didn't understand, she felt that the handwriting of the third master was really beautiful, and said with a smile: "Little ancestor, you have finished writing now, should you continue to sleep? Or should you get up and have breakfast?"

Jia Huan shook his head and said, "Don't go to bed anymore, I have an appointment with my classmates, and I will go to the county government office to sign up for the county examination this afternoon."

"That can't be delayed." Ping'er hurriedly ordered Xiao Que'er and the others to bring hot water, and quickly helped Jia Huan to wash up. After a while, the unkempt and scruffy boy turned into a handsome young man with clear eyes, brows and temples, red lips and white teeth, and a bookish face that made Ping'er want to kiss him.

It was almost noon at this time, and Ping'er simply served breakfast and lunch together. There are a variety of dishes for you to choose from.

Now the kitchen is managed by Wang Shanbao's family, and Jia Huan is given preferential treatment in every way. In addition, Ping'er specially added money to make Jia Huan supplement enough nutrition, so the dishes are more abundant.

Jia Huan now consumes a lot of food, and his appetite has also increased greatly. He picked up the rice bowl and chopped up big pieces. Ping'er was also very happy to see this master eating well, and said with a sweet smile: "Third sister, Miss Lin and Miss Smith have been here."

"Oh, when?" Jia Huan asked subconsciously.

Ping'er laughed and said, "When the third master got up to write with disheveled hair, they left because they were afraid of interrupting the third master's train of thought."

Jia Huan was sweating secretly, and laughed at himself: "They must think I'm crazy."

Ping'er laughed and said: "The maid also thought that the third master was crazy, she jumped up from the bed after sleeping soundly, her hair was disheveled, and she was still muttering, like a dancer."

Jia Huan couldn't help laughing, and suddenly said in a daze: "Sister Ping'er just said that Shi Xiangyun is here too?"

Ping'er asked strangely, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, she hasn't been here for a long time." Jia Huan smiled, but the image of Xiangyun in the [-] TV series appeared in his mind, a charming and beautiful girl.

Shi Xiangyun is undoubtedly a unique woman in "A Dream of Red Mansions". She has a poor background, but she is warm-hearted, straightforward and kind. No matter how hard or tired she is, she is always cheerful and enthusiastic in front of others.She is quick-witted, can write poems in couplets, and can stand up to three of them. Looking around, she is in high spirits. She has a chivalrous spirit, but she also has a cute and cute side. The scene where she is drunk and sleeps on a pillow among flowers is a classic.

It's a pity that such a strange woman, after all, can't escape the old beauty's misfortune. First she married Wei Ruolan, a short-lived ghost, and finally, after several twists and turns, she was sold as a boat prostitute.

Of course, this kind of ending was only adapted by the screenwriter of the [-] edition of "A Dream of Red Mansions". The author believes that with Xiangyun's character, it is absolutely impossible to accept the humiliation of being a boat prostitute.

Let’s say that Jia Huan took a short rest after eating, and when it was almost the appointed time, he set off for the ethnology. He made an appointment with Jia Jie and others to meet at the gate of the ethnology, and then went to the county government hall to sign up for the county examination.

When Jia Huan came to the gate of the ethnology school, he found that Jia Jie and the others had already arrived, and Jia Huan happened to be five of them, so they happened to be bonded together.

The so-called guarantee is a procedure for signing up for the county examination. Five candidates must sign up for the county examination. Five candidates will sit in a row.

In addition to the mutual bond, there must be a bond, that is, to find a guarantor to guarantee that the five candidates will not have false names, false identities, funerals, substitutes, and pseudonyms, and that they will be innocent, not the descendants of prostitutes, and they have not committed crimes.

Candidates can only be allowed to sign up for the exam if they have mutual knots and bond guarantees, which is very strict.Of course, this is also the reason why ancient technology is backward. If it is modern, an ID card will be enough. The public security system will check the Internet, and the three generations of ancestors will be clearly listed.

Don't gossip, let's say that Jia Huan, Jia Yu and other five people went to the ceremonial room of the Wanping county government together. The book history in charge heard that he was from the Jia family of the Duke's mansion, but he didn't dare to make things difficult.

After coming out of the county office, Jia Jie smiled and complimented him: "Master Huan passed away at the age of eight, he was called a child prodigy, this time he will definitely be a blockbuster, and I will be named as Jia's clan study."

Another guy named Jia Chen was even more exaggerated: "This time the county's trial case is none other than Mr. Huan, don't you think so?"

The remaining two people were named Jia Tong and Zhou Zheng, neither of them interrupted, they just laughed awkwardly, which seemed extremely insincere at first glance, but most of them seemed to be jokes.

As the saying goes, since ancient times, literati have looked down on each other. Jia Huan, a "rocket student", suddenly appeared and tried his hand at the age of eight. They were naturally very unconvinced, but now they just joked about it.

Jia Huan said calmly: "The two elder brothers are exaggerating. Jia Huan is a latecomer. It's just luck to try his hands this time. It's unknown whether he can pass the first round. Don't dare to pretend to be the leader. I just hope to accumulate some experience."

As soon as Jia Huan finished speaking, he heard a harsh cold snort, full of disdain and contempt. He frowned and looked up, and saw five people passing by, all in their teens, with fluttering long gowns and square scarves on their heads. They looked like scholars who had come to sign up.

The man who snorted just now was thin and thin, he was not handsome, but he looked like he was pulling two to five to eighty thousand. When he looked at him, both nostrils were turned upside down, which made people very uncomfortable.

When Jia Jie saw this person, his complexion changed immediately, and he sneered, "Who am I to tell you? It turned out to be a monkey (Hou) outstanding man who has no one in his eyes."

The Kuangsheng surnamed Hou laughed and said: "That's right, I am a Kuangsheng Hou Renjie who has no one in his eyes, his eyes are higher than the top, a hero among men, Jia Jie, with your trash level, how dare you go down and take part in this county test."

Jia Jie obviously knew Hou Renjie, and they had a feud, and retorted: "Even if you, a wild monkey, can end, it's no problem for me."

Hou Renjie said angrily: "Jia Kui, who are you scolding as a beast?" After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to start a movie, his temper was quite explosive.

Jia Jie was not afraid, and immediately put on a posture, ready to fight back at any time!

Among the four people who came with Hou Renjie, the oldest one was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a handsome appearance and a steady temperament, he quickly pulled Hou Renjie to persuade him: "Xisheng, we are here to sign up, don't make trouble."

Hou Renjie just woke up and started fighting outside the county government office. Maybe he would be disqualified from the examination by the ceremony officer. Then he retreated resentfully, and said with a sneer: "These dandies relying on the shadow of their ancestors, taking part in the county examination is nothing more than a waste of quota. Look, this kid may not even be ten years old. I am afraid that there will be no one in the Jia family. This kind of ignorant kid can end up."

Jia Huan couldn't help but frowned, did this guy take gunpowder?He spouts randomly when he opens his mouth, and it stinks. This kind of guy who is still rattling is like a half bucket of water. I'm afraid he doesn't have much knowledge in his stomach.
Hou Renjie's ridicule obviously angered Jia Jie and Jia Chen, and they all glared.Hou Renjie said proudly: "How, did I say something wrong? Last year, half of our Diecui Academy passed the county examination, and you Jia clan didn't take a single one. It's ridiculous. Hurry up and go back and study for a few more years, so as not to fail the exam again, it's ridiculous!"

Jia Jie, Jia Chen and the others blushed and were speechless, because what Hou Renjie said was true. They all took the county examination last year but failed.

Jia Huan's heart moved, and he smiled and asked, "Brother Hou, have you passed?"

Hou Renjie was at a loss for words, and his face was flushed. He also took the county examination last year, but also failed, but the reason was that he suddenly had diarrhea and did not perform well, so he always thought that he was not incapable of learning, but just unlucky.

At this time, the companion next to Hou Renjie chimed in and said, "Brother Xisheng ate badly when he finished last year, or he would have passed the county test."

Jia Huan suddenly said: "So that's it. Brother Hou, he should pay attention this year, don't pull his pants down again."

Hou Renjie snorted coldly and said, "Little Huangkou, I'm too lazy to talk to you, Brother Shouzheng, let's go!"

The steady scholar smiled apologetically at Jia Huan and the others, then turned and walked towards the yamen.

Jia Jie snorted coldly and scolded: "Bah, disgusting thing!"

Jia Huan asked curiously: "Brother Jia Jie has a problem with that Hou?"

Jia Jie nodded, and said falteringly: "It's some personal grievances." After speaking, he waved his fist and said: "Everyone wants to fight for their strength this year, and we can't let the surname Hou look down upon us."

Jia Chen sighed and said: "Die Cui Academy is too powerful, how can we compare, that Liu Yi is even more famous, I am afraid that he will be the top case in this county examination."

Jia Huan's heart moved, and he asked, "The scholar who looks very stable is called Liu Yi?"

Jia Chen nodded and said, "That's him, he has kept his words upright, and he has already shined in the literary conference a few years ago. If it hadn't happened that his mother had lost his mother and kept the system for three years, he might have won the first place in the county trial three years ago."

Jia Huan silently wrote down the words "Liu Shouzheng".

Jia Jie glanced at Jia Huan and said indifferently: "Don't think about the case. There are nearly a thousand people in Wanping County who participate in the county examination every year, and only 50 people are admitted in the end. It is good to pass the county examination."

Jia Huan couldn't help but gasp. The county examination is the most basic examination in the imperial examination. Is the competition so perverted?

　New week, ask for tickets!
