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

Chapter 55

Zhao Heng continued: "Moreover, your clever tricks may allow you to pass the subsequent government examinations and college examinations, and try to gain the title of scholar."

"But in the subsequent provincial examinations and general examinations, it is absolutely impossible for you to pass with this trick."

"Therefore, in the coming time, you will not only have to recite historical texts, but also read and recite a lot of sages' articles. Through continuous accumulation, you will increase your own knowledge."

"Next, you have to try to write the article without resorting to tricks and use your own background. When your article is completed and you have formed your own style, by then, whether it is the provincial examination or the provincial examination, it will no longer matter to you. Difficult matter."

Jia Huan nodded and said, "Yes, I will obey my master's teachings."

Zhao Heng looked at his disciple and felt very satisfied.

He couldn't help but said: "Huan'er, my teacher really likes the partridge sky and sweet-scented osmanthus you wrote. Why does it need light green and deep red? It is naturally the best among flowers. The plum blossoms are jealous, the chrysanthemums should be shy, and the painting is crowned with Mid-Autumn Festival. !”

"Haha, today, I will plant a laurel tree in the courtyard. I hope that in a few years, when the osmanthus is fragrant, I can hear the good news that you have won the crown in the Toad Palace."

The rural examination is held once every three years, in August every year, also called Qiuwei.

This year, there will be a provincial examination.

But the sweet-scented osmanthus planted this year will definitely not bloom this year.

It seems that the master doesn't think he can win the exam this year, after all, his foundation is too weak.

However, no matter whether he can pass or not, as long as he can obtain the title of scholar, Jia Huan will always give it a try.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Master, the disciple and master will plant this osmanthus tree together. The disciple will definitely take good care of this osmanthus tree and let it grow vigorously."

Zhao Heng smiled and said: "Okay, then today, master and disciple, we will plant this osmanthus tree together."

The master and apprentice picked up tools, dug a hole in the yard, and planted a laurel tree half a man tall.

Then, the master and the apprentice looked at the small osmanthus tree, imagining how it would be filled with greenery and fragrant flowers when it grew up.

……

Zhao Heng gave Jia Huan a book list, which included collections of literary giants from past dynasties that he needed to recite.

There are dozens of these books in Zhao Heng's study.

Zhao Heng lent them all to Jia Huan, and there were some that Zhao Heng did not have in his study, so Jia Huan had to borrow or buy them himself.

With these books, Jia Huan does not need to come here to study every day from now on.

The master and apprentice made an agreement that Jia Huan would come every ten days, and Zhao Heng would check Jia Huan's learning progress.

And there will also be questions for Jia Huan to do to hone his writing skills.

Unknowingly, three days have passed, and today is the day when the county examination results are released.

It was extremely rare for Mrs. Wang to come to Mother Jia of Rongqing Hall again.

Aunt Xue was also invited over by Jia Mu. The ladies of Jia's family, including Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Wang Xifeng and other daughters, as well as Jia Mu's baby Jia Baoyu, were all here. All the girls gathered together, and it was very lively.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Today seems to be the day when the county examination results are released. I heard that Huan'er also took four exams and failed every time. Maybe the boy who came to the Wang family saw the results wrongly the first time. We still don’t know, it’s better to let the boy who came to Wang’s house go see it again today.”

"If Brother Huan really passes the exam, it will be an honor for our Jia family. Our Jia family hasn't produced a reading seed for many years. If we can produce one, I believe the old lady and the master will be happy."

Mrs. Wang's words silenced the room.

Wang Xifeng was even more chilled after hearing this.

This poisonous woman!It’s really poisonous!
This is to kill Brother Huan to death!Even if you kill someone, you still have to be heartbroken!

She already knew clearly that Brother Huan had failed, but today she wanted to be demoted again in front of everyone.

From now on, I'm afraid Brother Huan will never be able to get rid of his reputation as a delusional person.Why didn't I realize before that she was so cruel?

However, Wang Xifeng still said with a smile: "My wife is right, I have even prepared a reward just for today!"

Hearing what Mrs. Wang said, Mother Jia didn't show any expression on her face. She paused and then said: "Well, you have your heart. In that case, let the boy who comes to the Wang family look at the list again."

Mrs. Wang knew that Mother Jia must be dissatisfied with her actions, but so what?

Mrs. Wang has never lived a peaceful life since she married into the Jia family.

As soon as I got married, my mother-in-law, Jia Mu, took care of me and made me obedient.

I also have to be angry with my sister-in-law Jia Min.

It was easy for Jia Min to get married, and she would soon be the head wife.

A few years later, her niece Wang Xifeng married Jia Lian. Jia's mother pulled Wang Xifeng over again, passed her directly, and asked Wang Xifeng to take charge of the house.

There is also a stupid and vulgar Aunt Zhao in the middle, who causes trouble for her from time to time.

Her husband Jia Zheng's heart is not yet with her.

After giving birth to Baoyu, Jia Zheng went to her room less and less every month.

So much so that she had to build a Buddhist temple. In addition to worshiping Buddha, it also had the meaning of meditation. Otherwise, this life would be even more difficult.

Now that there is an opportunity to cause trouble for Jia Mu, she will definitely not let it go.

Not long after, a mother-in-law found the boy who had come to Wang's house and asked him to look at the list to see if Brother Huan had won the prize.

The boy who came to Wang's house said impatiently: "I went to see the first exam, and I never saw Brother Huan's name at all. Could it be possible to change it now?"

"The remaining three exams are just because Brother Huan can't save his face and deliberately sneaked out to pretend to pass the first one. Why bother me and make this trip again?"

The mother-in-law sneered and said: "I didn't ask you to go, this is not what I asked you to do. This is what my wife ordered and my ancestors agreed to. I've given it to you now. If you don't go, my wife will ask someone to beat you to death." , Just don’t get involved with me.”

The boy who came to Wang's house was mumbling and couldn't say anything good, so he went there helplessly.

Today is the day for the county examination results release. A large circle of people gathered around the results release site, which was very lively.

The boy who came to Wang's house arrived late, and he wasted some time on the way.

By the time he arrived, the list had already been posted.

The list is written on a large square piece of paper, with five names written on each line, and a total of more than ten lines of names, so it is called a long list.

Many candidates gathered around to look at the list. Some were ecstatic when they saw their names on the list.

Some people who didn't make the list watched the list over and over again, finally gave up, and then dropped their heads and cried.

There are many people watching around.

In a small area, you can see all kinds of things in the world.

There were a lot of people on the list, and for a while, the boy who came to Wang's house was stunned that he couldn't squeeze in.

How could Brother Huan win?

How could he, a bastard like a dog, have such a good life?
The kid who came to Wang's house didn't want to see it, and went back directly to report Brother Huan's failure.

But after all, I didn’t dare to do this.

Anyway, he's here, so if he just takes a look before leaving, he won't have any responsibility.
