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

Chapter 69

Seeing everyone's gaze, Mrs. Wang almost wanted to bleed.

I have been resting for the past few days. Have I ever been so exhausted and exhausted?
I don’t know how happy I am to see this little beast sitting in the room copying scriptures every day. How can he be so troubled?

But it’s true that this little beast is in my room on birthdays, and my condition is getting worse day by day. I don’t know what kind of magic this little beast has cast?
Unfortunately, she couldn't express these private thoughts.

At this time, Jia Mu and Jia Zheng's expressions were quite complicated.

After a while, Jia's mother couldn't help but said to Jia Huan: "Brother Huan, tomorrow is the day when the government examination starts, right?"

Jia Huan nodded and said, "Back to our ancestors, yes."

Jia Mu said: "In that case, you don't need to copy scriptures today. You can go back and prepare. You must take the exam well this time and don't let your father down."

Jia Huan nodded and said, "Yes, my grandson will obey and leave first."

Jia's mother gave the order, and Jia Huan returned happily.

Although Mrs. Wang was so angry that she was helpless.

Jia Mu and Jia Zheng left after a few words of warning.

Speaking of Mrs. Wang, after Jia Huan left, she felt that her breathing became easier and her health seemed to be gradually improving.

This made Mrs. Wang hesitate. Is it really because of that little beast here that her condition worsened?
But this is impossible!

She was so happy to have that little beast detained here to copy scriptures. How could she make her condition worse?

Is that little beast really that hard-hearted?
Mrs. Wang never expected that her illness was actually caused by Jia Huan. Her illness worsened also because of the sachet worn by Jia Huan.

……

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Aunt Zhao, Qingwen and other little girls all got up early.

Prepare meals early, and then wait for Jia Huan to get up.

After Jia Huan washed up, she was sent outside the house by Aunt Zhao and others.

They watched Jia Huan board the carriage and traveled far away until there was no trace of him, and then they returned.

After returning to the house, Aunt Zhao religiously offered three sticks of incense to the Bodhisattva.

"Blessed by the Bodhisattva, may Huan'er be ranked first in the high school exam this time. The believer will definitely burn incense to the Bodhisattva every day and build a golden body!"

In Mrs. Wang's room, she had already woken up.

Since Jia Huan left yesterday, Mrs. Wang is more energetic than usual.

For the past few days, I have been lying on the bed to recuperate. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep.

The sound of Jia Huan going out startled her again.

This made Mrs. Wang feel more and more uncomfortable. She struggled to get up, then went to the Buddhist nunnery, burned three sticks of incense, knelt down on the ground, and made a wish devoutly:

"Bodhisattva bless you, bless that little concubine Jia Huan, if you can't pass the exam this time..."

Mrs. Wang originally wanted to call him a little beast, but in the end she did not dare to use the foul language in front of the Bodhisattva.

Besides, Jia Huan came to the examination room with ease. After passing the county examination, he was already much more familiar with the examination process this time.

After a series of inspections, Jia Huan entered the examination room.

The government examination is more stringent than the county examination. In the government examination, except for test quotations, nothing else is allowed to be brought into the examination room.All pens, inks, paper and inkstones are provided by the examination room.Even bedding for overnight use is provided by the examination room.

The examination content is mainly based on the Four Books and Five Classics, among which "The Classic of Filial Piety" and "The Analects of Confucius" are required, at least one "Book of Rites" and "Zuo Zhuan" are selected, and three selections are made from "The Book of Songs", "Zhou Rites" and "Yili" [-]. Choose one from the "Book of Changes", "Shang Shu", "Gongyang Zhuan" and "Hu Liang Zhuan".There are three examinations in the government examination: classics, essays, and policy discussions. The first two examinations take one day each, and the third examination lasts two days.

In the first test, candidates are required to memorize the contents of the book as required, which mainly tests the candidates' memory.

The second essay test mainly includes some essays, tables and other styles, and mainly tests the candidates' calligraphy and composition abilities.

The third test policy theory mainly examines candidates' understanding and views on law, current affairs, and official administration.

The first section of the scripture post mainly tests the basics and examines the candidates' recitation ability.

For a genius like Jia Huan, who has a photographic memory, this kind of assessment is no big deal.Soon, Jia Huan finished his answer.

At noon, meals and water were delivered to the examination room.The food in the examination room was very simple. There were only two big cakes per person, and there was not even a trace of meat in it.

In fact, at the very beginning, Fuxian also served meat-based foods such as steamed buns.However, once, a large number of candidates had diarrhea due to food spoilage, which almost caused a major accident.

Therefore, in the following exams, only simple steamed buns or flatbreads will be served, as long as the candidates can fill their stomachs, regardless of taste and nutrition issues.

In the middle, Jia Huan pulled the little bell next to him and went to the toilet to drain the water.

In the afternoon, Jia Huan saw some candidates handing in papers, so he followed suit.

After the same bell was pulled, two officers came over and stamped Jia Huan's test paper, then put his test paper into the box and took away pens, ink and other examination supplies.

Then when the number of people who submitted papers reached thirty or forty, they were released.

For the first exam, Jia Huan was quite confident.

Three days later, the list was released, and Jia Huan's name was clearly on the list.

Of course, this time when the results were released, the seat numbers were posted instead of the candidates’ names.

A lesson learned. This time in the Jia Mansion, Mrs. Wang and others did not make the same joke again.

On the fourth day, Jia Huan continued to enter the examination room for the second examination.

This exam tests essays, mainly essays, tables and other styles. These are mainly styles that will be used in future officialdom.

For some children from poor families, this exam is not easy.Due to their limited status, they have limited access to this type of writing. Without reading enough sample writing, it will be difficult for them to write well.

But this is not difficult for Jia Huan either.This time, Jia Huan passed the exam easily.

Four days later, the third exam officially began.

This is the last test in the government examination. Once you pass the test, you are called a child student.

Being a Tongsheng is not an official title. Strictly speaking, it may not even be considered a scholar.

However, children with excellent academic performance can receive some rice every month.

This exam is about policy theory, and mainly tests the candidates' understanding and opinions on law, current affairs, officialdom and other aspects.

In this case, Jia Huan took advantage of it.

Because in this game, if you want to get high scores, you must have a comprehensive understanding of the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Otherwise, once the question comes up about a law you don’t understand, how can you answer it?

And Jia Huan, a beast with a photographic memory, actually recited the entire Daxia Rules.

He also recited many case examples and judgments.
