The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 87 Refuse the invitation

The afternoon sun fell on the window sill, and Jia Dairu's simple lounge was much brighter than usual, just like Jia Dairu's mood at the moment, it was also full of sunshine.Before the case, Jia Huan stood with his hands down as usual, listening to his master's teachings humbly, and did not feel arrogant because he won the county trial case.

Jia Dairu has been taking imperial examinations all his life, but he is still a boy. He has long been disheartened. His greatest wish is to cultivate a scholar in his lifetime to make up for his lifelong regrets, but he never dreamed that happiness would come so suddenly.

In other words, Jia Huan is now a quasi-children. After the government has tried it, Jia Huan will be able to get a childlike straight gown like himself, which he has been wearing for decades. Of course, Jia Huan's future is obviously not limited to this.

The greater Jia Huan's achievements in the future, the more honor he will be as a mentor. Originally, he only wanted to cultivate a scholar, but now it seems possible to cultivate a champion. Thinking about it, I feel excited!
However, Jia Dairu soon became a little dejected, because he was quite self-aware of his own level. Before the college exam, he thought he was qualified to teach Jia Huan, but what about after the college exam?Is my white-haired boy still eligible?With a limited level and no experience in the rural examination, continuing to teach Jia Huan might delay him instead.

Jia Dairu struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally said: "Brother Huan, your understanding is the only one I have seen in my life as a teacher. If you continue to stay in the ethnology, I am afraid that being a teacher will delay you. Do you intend to study in Diecui Academy?"

Jia Huan's heart moved, no wonder after reviewing the examination papers, Baba, the head of the Diecui Academy, came to the ethnology and chatted with Jia Dairu for so long, so he wanted to poach himself to the Diecui Academy, just like some of the top schools in our country in later generations, calling overnight to compete for the number one in the college entrance examination, dare to feel that the top of the county examination has become a favorite.

"Students heard that the head of the Pinnacle Academy was born as a Jinshi?" Jia Huan asked.

Jia Dairu's eyes darkened slightly, and he nodded, "The head of the Diecui Academy is indeed a 15-year Jinshi. Career is also very beneficial.”

Jia Huan was naturally moved when he heard the words, but when he caught the trace of sadness and ending on Confucian Confucian's face, he fell silent again.
Jia Dairu stroked his beard and said: "Not long ago, the head of the Diecui Academy had already talked with the old man. If Brother Huan, you are willing to go to the Diecui Academy, the academy welcomes you at any time. The teacher recommends you to go. You can consider it yourself and tell the teacher when you decide."

Jia Huan shook his head and said: "There is no need to think about it. The disciple will not go to Diecui Academy, and will stay in the clan to listen to Master's teachings."

Jia Dairu was stunned for a moment, and then all the wrinkles on his face opened, and he said a little excitedly: "Why?"

Jia Huan said earnestly: "If it wasn't for the master, the disciple would not be able to get the case today. The master is not only the student's mentor, but also the student's bole. It can be seen that the master may not be satisfactory in terms of obtaining fame, but in terms of teaching and educating people, he is no worse than others."

Jia Dairu's old face was slightly embarrassed. In fact, it wasn't his special vision that made Jia Huan drive ducks to the shelves. It was just his eagerness to cultivate a scholar.
Jia Dairu coughed lightly, and said Yin Ran: "Since Brother Huan, you don't want to go to Diecui Academy, then I will decline the other party's invitation on your behalf as a teacher."

"But it's up to the master." Jia Huan said respectfully.

Jia Dairu stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Although the number of teachers is limited, the homework before the college exam can roughly teach you, um, you go back to the mansion first, presumably Mr. Zheng is still waiting for you to go back, I will give you a day off tomorrow, take a good rest, and come to school the day after tomorrow.

Academic matters are like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat, so don’t slack off just because you have won the case. Once you vent your breath, it will be difficult to get up again. "

Jia Huan nodded and said, "Disciple carefully remember Master's teachings."

"In addition, the chief of the county examination can skip the government examination and directly take the hospital examination. Do you want to take the government examination two months later?" Jia Dairu asked.

Jia Huan raised his eyebrows and said, "As Master said just now, learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will fall back. You need to cross the other side with all your strength. If students are greedy for comfort and give up the government examination, they may lose their enthusiasm and it will be detrimental to the next college examination. Therefore, the students decided to continue to take the government examination."

Jia Dairu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Brother Huan, since you have such determination, why don't you worry about not being able to be named on the gold list in the future, and you will be Tian Shelang in the morning, and you will be in the Tianzitang in the evening, just around the corner. You go back to your home and come to school in the future, and the teacher will choose the scriptures for you."

The so-called Benjing refers to choosing one of the Five Classics to focus on studying. In the imperial examination, the Four Books are required to be read, but the Five Classics are optional. When you encounter questions about the Five Classics during the exam, you can choose the one you have learned to answer.

After all, human energy is limited, and the purpose of choosing this classic is to save the energy of candidates, so the four books must be read, and the five classics can be read extensively, and then only need to be familiar with one of them.

It is said that Jia Huan left the ethnology and returned to Rongguo Mansion. As soon as he appeared at the door, the slaves guarding the gate came forward to say hello very attentively, and congratulated Sanye Huan for being the head of the county trial case.

Jia Huan was also very kind, and asked his servant Jin Shu to grab a lot of copper coins and give them to the slaves as happy money, and everyone was happy for a while.

Jia Huan entered the gate of the mansion, and went straight to Rongguo Mansion Middle Road, Jia Zheng's study, because the foreman of the gatekeeper said that the master asked Huan Sanye to see him immediately after returning to the mansion.

It is said that when Jia Huan arrived at Mengpoxuan, he met Jia Zheng and reported the case of the county trial chief, and also talked about the fact that the Diecui Book invited him to study.

It was rare for Jia Zheng not to reprimand him after listening to this, and he nodded with satisfaction, "You are right, your teacher's kindness is as deep as the sea. If you abandon your teacher and climb another branch at this time, I'm afraid you will be despised by others, and you will not be respected as a father. Go, first go to pay respects to the old lady and wife, and then go to the ancestral hall to burn incense."

Jia Huan couldn't help being a little surprised, nodded in agreement, and then backed out. As soon as he walked out of Mengpo Pavilion, Zhan Guang, Cheng Rixing, Fu Gui and others immediately surrounded him and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the third master for being the first in the county's trial case. On such a happy day, how can we not reward him?" After speaking, he wanted to start.

Damn, come again!

Last time, Jia Huan was stripped of all his ornaments by Zhan Guang and his gang, but this time he was naturally clever, pointing to the sky and shouting: "Look, handjob!"

Zhan Guang and the others looked up subconsciously, but they didn't see anything. They were wondering what the handjob was, and found that Jia Huan had already let go of his feet and ran away.

Jia Huan ran away for a long time, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thankful that he was clever and kept the accessories on his body, otherwise he might be stripped off again.

It's not that Jia Huan is stingy, the sweat scarf tied around his waist is made by Jia Tanchun himself, the hanging sachet is embroidered by Lin Daiyu, and the strings are made by Ping'er. If they are snatched by Cheng Rixing and others, they will be punished when they go back. Especially Lin Daiyu, a spiritual aristocrat, if she finds out that the sachet she made by herself was snatched by some "stinky man", she will probably break up with herself immediately.

Let’s say that after Jia Huan escaped Zhan Guang and others’ “claws” wittily, he first went to see Jia’s mother, and then went to Mrs. Wang’s room.

Jia Huan was also at ease, and after leaving Mrs. Wang's place, he hurried to the East Mansion and entered the ancestral hall of the Jia family to offer incense.

This is a kind of honor, and only men who have made contributions to the family are eligible to enjoy this honor. However, Jia Huan, as a time traveler, has always lacked a sense of belonging to the Jia family, so he didn't feel any honor and excitement, and immediately slipped away after the incense.

On the second day, rest, it was a rare day to relax, Jia Huan slept until he woke up naturally, then got up to wash up, after breakfast, he took the script of "The Palace of Eternal Life" and went out.

He has finished writing the script of "The Palace of Eternal Life" long ago, but he has been busy preparing for the exam, so he has no time to sell it for money, and the cost during this time is so high that the little savings he saved before has almost bottomed out, so Jia Huan plans to take advantage of today's rest to sell the script of "The Palace of Eternal Life" for some money. If the price is good, he plans to rent another shop and open an ice cream shop.

Now the business of the ice cream shop is good. I believe that as the weather gets hotter, the ice cream business will become more and more popular. If you don't expand to occupy the market at this time, you will undoubtedly be a fool who won't take money when you see it.

However, when Jia Huan came to the street with the script, he was at a loss. Who should this play be sold to?

Troupe?Bookstore?

Jia Huan weighed it for a while, and decided to find a bookstore to test the water first. After all, those theater troupes are begging for a living in the rivers and lakes. How much money can they have on hand?I'm afraid I can't afford the price I want, after all, the bookstore is richer, because the people who can afford to run a bookstore are usually rich and wealthy gentry.

So, Jia Huan went straight to Huanghuafang, because he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a bookstore in Huanghuafang, but he couldn't remember the name.
