Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Chapter 52 Brother Huan missed

After listening to Jia Huan's explanation, the little girl Ji Xiang widened her eyes and said, "Huh? It takes so many exams to get the top prize? I thought I could get the top prize in just one exam! But the third master is a Wenqu star who came to earth, so it is inevitable He can go to high school."

After speaking, everyone who said it laughed.

Jia Huan invited Lin Daiyu to the study to talk.

After arriving in the study, Lin Daiyu glanced at Jia Huan and asked, "Brother Huan, I wonder what questions were asked in this exam? How did Brother Huan answer?"

Jia Huan stood up and bowed to Lin Daiyu and said, "First of all, I want to thank Sister Lin for her teachings. The first question this time is Confucius said: Meng Gongchuo is the best for Zhao and Wei Lao, but he cannot be Teng or Xue."

"This question happened to be what Sister Lin explained to me when she taught me how to solve the problem on the first day. Because of the problem solving, I saved a lot of time. If I can win this time, Sister Lin will take more than half of the credit."

"Sister Lin is extremely talented and knowledgeable. If Sister Lin was born a man, she would definitely go to high school."

Hearing Jia Huan's words, Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "It's such a coincidence? You have helped me a lot, and I am very happy that it can be of some benefit to you. How can I deserve your thanks?"

"Brother Huan, you haven't mentioned the second question yet. There is also an article you wrote. Please write it and let me see it."

Jia Huan picked up his pen and quickly wrote two articles and a poem.

Lin Daiyu took it and read it, and couldn't help but praise: "Brother Huan's article is full of flowers and rich in literature and theory. It must be the first one this time. As for this trial poem, although it is straightforward, it contains the truth. , I’m afraid it will become famous all over the capital again!”

Jia Huan smiled and said: "I tried my best. As for whether I can win or not, just leave it to God! That poem was just written randomly. It is not as good as Sister Lin said."

After Lin Daiyu said goodbye, Jia Huan went to Zhao Mansion.

After Zhao Heng saw the article written by Jia Huan for the exam, he praised it greatly and concluded that Jia Huan would definitely win.

Jia Huan felt somewhat confident.

In the next few days, Jia Huan still came to class every day without slacking off.

On the fourth day, it was time to release the results.

After Jia Huan had eaten and read for a while, he went to the place where the rankings were released to look at them.

In fact, it is not that no one in the Jia family cares about Jia Huan's achievements.

For example, Aunt Zhao, Xiao Jixiang, Ruyi and Lin Daiyu were very concerned.

Also, Mrs. Wang is actually very concerned about Jia Huan's achievements.

She doesn't ask, just because she doesn't want to ask, doesn't mean she doesn't care.

Of course, the mentality of the two parties is completely different.

Aunt Zhao and others are looking forward to Jia Huan's high school, while Mrs. Wang is looking forward to Jia Huan's failure.

As a concubine, Jia Huan is already in the limelight.

If he passes the imperial examination again, he will be even more inferior to Baoyu and look even more useless.

Mrs. Wang quietly sent a boy from the Wang family to look at the list.

The boy who came to Wang's house had been out for less than an hour when he came running out of breath to report.

"Go back to my wife, Brother Huan didn't win. I didn't see Brother Huan's name."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang was delighted, and then she concealed the smile on her face.

She shouldn't be happy if Brother Huan fails.

She asked again: "Can you see clearly, Brother Huan really missed?"

The boy who came to Wang's house said: "Go back to my wife, I read each name one by one. From the beginning to the end, I didn't see Brother Huan's name. I don't dare to lie."

Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "Okay, go down."

After the boy who came to the Wang family went down, Mrs. Wang went to Mother Jia in Rongqing Hall.After saying a few words, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but said: "Mom, I just asked the boy who came to Wang's house to take a look, and he said that Brother Huan missed the target this time!"

Upon hearing the news, Jia's mother was stunned - obviously, she did not know in advance that Jia Huan had taken the exam.

Jia Mu casually said: "How can it be so easy to pass the exam in studying? How old is he? When Brother Zhu was as old as him, he had not yet finished the exam! He is still young. If he studies for a few more years, he will be bingo."

In Jia's mother's room, all the maids, women, and girls from Jia's mansion had different expressions on their faces when they heard the news.

Jia Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief obviously.

If Huan Laosan really went to high school, his life would probably be difficult.

After hearing this, Yingchun showed a look of regret on her face.

After hearing this, Tanchun sighed secretly.

Lin Daiyu's face showed a look of disbelief. Brother Huan's article was excellent. Even if he was not the first in the case, he should be among the best. How could he not win?

Xue Baochai's face was pale and there was no expression on it.

And this news spread quickly in Jia's house, and for a while, everything was covered.

But most of them are not good words.

These words soon spread to Aunt Zhao's yard.

Although Aunt Zhao had no expectations beforehand, she was still very disappointed after hearing the news.

The two maids, Ji Xiang Ruyi, both had their heads drooped, without any energy.

Finally, even Jia Huan heard the news.

Although the list was released today, Jia Huan did not take a look at it immediately.

When the list was first released, there would definitely be a lot of people, so Jia Huan planned to wait until there were fewer people before going to see it.

At this moment, he is studying in the study.

Hearing the news that he missed, Jia Huan also had a look of disbelief on his face.

It shouldn't be. The county exam is not that difficult. Even his master praised his essay, so it is unlikely that he will fail.

Jia Huan couldn't help but look at the list in person.

Not long after, Jia Huan came to the place where the list was released and stood under the list.

After all, the county examination is just a small test in the first step of the imperial examination. There are almost no people on the sub-list now.

Jia Huan was the first one to see his seat number.

After looking at it for a while, Jia Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was his seat number.

He clearly won, and he was still No. 1, so why did it keep spreading in the house that he didn't win?
Soon Jia Huan thought of the reason.

Probably because there haven't been scholars in the house for many years, the boy who came to see the results didn't know that in the first test of the county examination, the list was arranged by seat number, not by name, right?
If you search by name, you will definitely not be able to find your own name.

There were four county examinations in total, and I was No. 1 in the first one.

The final score of the county examination is based on the average score of the four tests.

However, the first exam carries the highest weight. As long as you don't do too poorly in the next three exams, there shouldn't be much of a problem in this county exam.

After returning to Jia Mansion, Jia Huan found that the maids and women looked at him with contempt.

This made Jia Huan couldn't help but want to laugh, and he didn't know how they would feel after letting them know that not only did he pass the exam, but he also got No. 1?
