The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 9 Spend a lot of money against the bone boy
Jia Huan rolled his eyes secretly. He didn't have the slightest affection for Jia Yucun, a [-]-year-old boy who ate and smashed pots. He was notoriously ungrateful and talented.

In addition, Jia Yucun was dismissed due to corruption and other issues less than a year after he took office. Later, he was reinstated through Jia Zheng's network and took up the post of Yin Tianfu.

Therefore, Jia Huan hated this person extremely, if it wasn't for his soft words, he was going to persuade Jia Zheng not to help him reinstate his post, so as not to suffer the consequences in the future.

"Master Jia misunderstood, the one who was born with jade is my second elder brother Bao." Jia Huan said flatly, even though he was disgusted by this person, he still maintained the proper manners, otherwise he would be beaten to death by the pedantic political father.

Jia Yucun was slightly stunned, only to realize that he had made an oolong, but he was good at dancing and eloquent, instead of embarrassing, he clapped his hands and said, "Brother Cun Zhou is really lucky to have a pair of unicorns. I really envy others!"

"Cough...Brother Yucun is absurdly praised, and I'm ashamed of my brother!" Jia Zheng coughed lightly, and the embarrassment flashed by. He knew his own family affairs. It is estimated that it is also a difficult item.

Jia Yucun didn't know what Jia Zheng was thinking, and said with a smile: "Brother Cun Zhou is too modest. This Huan brother is handsome, with a calm demeanor and speech. He is not comparable to a brother from an ordinary family. Although I have never seen the brother who was born with jade in your house, he must be even more extraordinary."

Jia Zheng subconsciously looked at Jia Huan when he heard the words, and couldn't help but feel moved. The change of this bad boy is indeed quite big, as if he had changed himself, which is really strange.

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng felt that he, a bastard, was more pleasing to the eye, his eyes became less severe, and he said humbly, "Brother Yucun has said it before, the dog is stubborn and cannot stand such praise."

Jia Yucun stroked his beard and smiled slightly, and said: "When every three or five years, there will be a reunion, and the jade fence will be full of sunshine. It is only held out in the sky, and all the people in the world look up. This is an old work on the eve of the spring competition in Beijing when I went to Beijing."

Jia Zheng's eyes lit up, and Chi Jie praised: "Good poem, it can be seen that brother Yucun must be an ambitious person. This time he went to Beijing to participate in the competition with great ambition, and he will definitely pass high school in one fell swoop."

Jia Yucun laughed, and said with a bit of color: "Don't dare, Tian is the No. 90 eighth in the second class of Yi Chou Division, and he was born as a Jinshi."

Although Jia Huan didn't like Jia Yucun, he had to admit that this second-five boy was indeed quite talented. 98 people in the examination did not seem to be high, but in fact it was very impressive. You must know that this is a national examination, and only about [-] people were admitted in the end. It is much more difficult than the modern college entrance examination.

Jia Zheng has always regarded himself as a disciple of a sage, and the imperial examination was his dream. Unfortunately, his fate was too good. Once my father Jia Daishan died, the emperor gave him the position of director of the Ministry of Industry. Therefore, Jia Zheng did not need to take the imperial examination to get a six-rank official position.

This was originally a good thing, but Jia Zheng regarded it as a lifelong regret. He wanted to rely on his strength to get an official position through the imperial examinations, but in the end he became a "recommended student".

For example, Jia Yucun, even though he wanted something from Jia Zheng at the moment, he still looked down on Jia Zheng in his heart, but he didn't show it!
Closer to home, let’s say that after Jia Yucun showed off an old poem, the old god asked Jia Huan if he could compose poems, which was a bit sophisticated.

Jia Huan said "modestly": "Know a little bit!"

Jia Zheng's complexion changed immediately, and he scolded: "Nie Zhanan dares to speak wild words, I don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth!"

Jia Huan trembled subconsciously. It wasn't that he was afraid, but that Dad Zheng's voice was so loud that it made his ears buzz, and he reacted naturally when he was caught off guard.

A look of astonishment flashed in Jia Yucun's eyes, and he laughed and said, "Don't blame Brother Zhou. Although we literati have no strength to restrain a chicken, we must have the awe-inspiring spirit in our chest. Brother Huan is very courageous and should be praised. Why scold him?"

Jia Zheng was silent when he heard the words, and just stared at Jia Huan with stern eyes.Jia Huan was extremely speechless, he was already very modest, he only said a few things and knew a little bit, but in the eyes of adults, he still didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, his grandma!

At this time, Jia Yucun said with a smile again: "It happens to be the fifteenth day today, why don't Brother Huan also write a poem with the theme of the moon?"

Jia Huan said in a "weak and weak" way: "The boy just read "Children's Learning Qionglin". I'm afraid that if he doesn't do well, Master Jia will laugh at him."

Jia Zheng glared at Jia Huan again with disgust, feeling a bit resentful that iron can't be made into steel.

Jia Yucun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's okay, brother Huan, let's do it, the classical Chinese is fluent, and there is no need to consider whether it is good or bad."

"Then Huan'er will give it a try." Jia Huan deliberately tilted his head slightly as if thinking, and was speechless for a long time.

Time passed by every second, and Jia Zheng's face became more and more ugly. Although he just scolded Jia Huan for his ignorance, in fact, he still hoped that Jia Huan would do something so that he could show some face in front of Jia Yucun.

Li Shi'er saw that Mr. Zheng's face was gloomy, while Jia Huan was still fixed there like a goose, he couldn't help snickering, thinking that this kid has grown up, but he just got kicked out of his head by a donkey, haha!

Jia Zheng became more and more impatient, and was about to sternly reprimand and kick out this concubine who had made him feel ashamed, when Jia Huan said, "Yes!"

Jia Yucun nodded and smiled, "Come on!"

A hint of sarcasm flickered on the corner of Li Shi'er's mouth, he still doesn't know what level Jia Huan is?I don't even recognize all the words, and I still learn to compose poems, just wait and see the jokes.

At this time, Jia Huan had already chanted crisply: "The mountain is near the moon and the moon is far away, and the moon is small, so the mountain is bigger than the moon. If someone's eyes are as big as the sky, he should see the mountain is taller and the moon is wider."

Just after Jia Huan finished singing, Li Shi'er stared wide-eyed. Unexpectedly, Jia Huan really did it, but with his level, he couldn't tell the good from the bad, so he could only wait for the reactions of Jia Zheng and Jia Yucun.

When Jia Huan first started to read, Jia Yucun didn't take it seriously, but when Jia Huan finished reading the last two sentences, his complexion suddenly changed a little, and he stared at Jia Huan strangely for a while, and then praised: "Yes, brother Huan is really a fantastic idea. If someone's eyes are as big as the sky, when he sees the mountains and the moon are wider, it's wonderful, wonderful!"

This "Mountain House Covering the Moon" was written by Wang Shouren, a great man who combines morality, meritorious service, and words. It is said that Wang Shouren was a kid when he wrote this poem, so his words and sentences are ordinary, but his perspective of observing things is refreshing, as if he suddenly opened up a new world.

"Your Excellency Jia praised you, you didn't do a good job, you'll laugh at me." Jia Huan rubbed his little hands shyly. Wang Shouren was from the Ming Dynasty, and there was no Ming Dynasty in this world of Red Mansions, so Jia Huan, a writer, should be justified and at ease.

Jia Yucun took a deep look at Jia Huan, and couldn't help saying sincerely: "The words in this poem are ordinary, but it is novel and thought-provoking. It is really rare for Brother Huan to write such a poem at such an age."

Jia Zheng, who was originally dark-faced, now has glory. He is not good at poetry, but he still has a good appreciation level, so he knows that Jia Yucun's evaluation is not exaggerated, but he still humbly said: "Brother Yucun is too praised, carefully praise and kill this evil."

Jia Yucun laughed, and groped around for a while, finally took out a piece of silver, and handed it to Jia Huan in embarrassment: "I came in a hurry this time, but I didn't prepare a meeting gift. Although the silver is a bit tacky, it should be the New Year's money for Brother Huan."

Jia Huan's eyes lit up, the ingot of silver was estimated to be ten taels, and now he was worried that he would not have the capital to do business, but it was in his heart, so he immediately stretched out his hand to take it and said: "The elder gave it, I dare not say it, Huan'er thanked Mr. Jia."

Seeing Jia Huan's happy face, Jia Zheng couldn't help frowning. If Jia Yucun was not still there, he would have scolded him loudly.

Seeing that Jia Huan likes money, Jia Yucun became even more tempered, because he also likes money. He laughed and said, "Brother Cun Zhou, brother Huan is a seed for reading. If you cultivate it well, you will be able to flourish and become famous in the future."

Although Jia Zheng didn't take it very seriously when he heard the words, he felt a little more radiant on his face, and looked at Jia Huan with rare soft eyes, and asked, "Have you greeted your grandmother and mother today?"

"Please pass." Jia Huan replied.

"Well, the girl from your Uncle Lin's family is entering the mansion today, so you go and see her too, don't be rude." Jia Zheng ordered.

Jia Huan quickly agreed, saluted and retreated, feeling very happy. Unexpectedly, Jia Yucun, a rebellious boy, was quite generous, and took out the ten taels of silver without frowning. In addition to the two taels of silver beans given by Wang Xifeng before, now he has 12 taels of silver in deposit, hehe!
