Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 112 Booking a Membership
The rules of the imperial court are to prevent examiners and candidates from cheating in tandem.

These selected examiners must immediately move into the Gongyuan with their luggage and cannot have any contact with the outside world until the end of the examination.

So after going to court, the examiners, accompanied by the imperial guards, returned home to pack their luggage and immediately moved into Gongyuan.

Later, the gate of Gongyuan was sealed to isolate internal and external communication.

This method seems to prevent fraud, but in fact everyone knows that it does not have much practical effect.

Candidates who really want to cheat have already found a way to cheat, so how can they improvise.

When the news spread that the chief examiner and deputy examiner were confirmed, many students from Fujian celebrated.

Some students from Wuyi Academy even said that they wanted to compete with Wansong Academy, which had suddenly emerged last time.

The reason why they are so confident is that many candidates from Fujian have already found out about the question direction of this exam through various channels.

These people have plenty of time to prepare, which gives them an obvious advantage over other candidates.

In a large house in the east of Chang'an City, a student jumped up excitedly when he heard the news.

This person's name is Tong En, his family is a large merchant in Fuzhou, he has a fortune of tens of millions, and he also has a residence in the capital.

His grandfather and Zhao Junze were old acquaintances.

Tong En himself is also very talented and learned. He is also one of the leaders in Wuyi Academy's joint examination. He got No. 3 in this year's Fujian Provincial Examination.

What's more important is that after he entered Beijing this time, he secretly visited Zhao Junze with his grandfather's letter and opened up the relationship.

Now that Zhao Junze has really been selected to take the exam, Tong En instantly feels more confident, thinking that he will definitely be able to compete in high school this time.

You must know that some other students who have inquired about the news only know what direction the policy theory test will take.

But he even knew the title accurately and agreed on the code word.

If Zhao Junze becomes the examiner, he will definitely be selected as the Hui Yuan. For this reason, Tong En promised Zhao Junze 5 taels of silver.

Tong En was so excited that he stopped reading and went directly to Jinxiangyuan, a brothel he often visited recently, to have fun.

Liu Ruyan, the newly hired servant girl from Jinxiangyuan, is first-class in talent and appearance, and she has just come out to receive guests. She is pure, sweet, and charming.

Compared with those prostitutes who have been in the industry for a long time, such a slightly green woman attracted him more.

A few days ago, he accidentally invited Liu Ruyan to have a drink with him, and since then he has been thinking about her.

This time he felt excited and came to see her again.

Tong En was so happy that his glass was dry. After a while, he became a little drunk.

Liu Ruyan asked: "Young Master Tong, you will be able to try it out in a few days.

If you don't study hard at home, but come to our place to drink wine, aren't you afraid that it will affect the exam? "

Tong En said proudly: "I am sure that I will be top of the list in high school. Why should I study hard like those poor scholars?"

Liu Ruyan chuckled lightly and said: "Young master, brag, if you want to be on the list, I believe you because of your talent.

But everyone in the capital doesn’t know that this meeting is most likely Jia Xiaoshixian’s. How can you compare to him? "

Tong En was already drunk, and he didn't keep his mouth shut.

He said drunkenly: "Hey hey hey, you don't understand.

Let me tell you, my grandfather and Mr. Zhao, the examiner of this subject, were in the same year as the provincial examination.

I promised you 5 taels of silver, and this money will definitely belong to me.

Jia Qiong, Master Zhao has wanted to deal with him for a long time. He can't even pass the Gongsheng examination, let alone Huiyuan.

Liu'er, just follow me. I will definitely go to high school in this subject, and I will definitely stay in Beijing.

Tomorrow I will redeem your life, marry you back and make you my concubine, so that you can live a life of freedom and wealth. "

Tong En became lustful, and after saying that, he started to move his hands and feet, raising and lowering his hands towards Liu Ruyan.

When Liu Ruyan heard Tong En's words, her eyes could not help but shine with yearning.

While resisting Tong En's dirty hands, she said: "I don't believe it.

Mom said, you stinky men are the best at lying, and you never tell the truth. "

Tong En was already obsessed with wine and sex at this time. In order to get Liu Ruyan's body, he actually told him the first question and the agreed code word that Zhao Junze told him.

Tong En was originally a romantic young man, and Liu Ruyan liked him very much.

Now she was moved by Tong En's sweet words and thought that it would be better to go out and be a concubine of an official family than to entertain people with sex in a brothel.

She was also just starting out, but she was actually moved by Tong En's words. She didn't call out the turtle goons who were guarding outside, and she really obeyed Tong En half-heartedly.

Liu Ruyan, a young bustard who had just become famous, was betrayed like this, and the madam knew where she was going.

Tong En spent 300 taels of silver to settle the matter. If he wanted to redeem her, he would have to spend another 3000 taels.

However, Tong En was also fond of the new and disliked the old. How could he spend a lot of money to redeem a woman who had already taken advantage of her? He turned around and forgot about Liu Ruyan.

Time quietly came to the eighth day of February, just like today six years ago, Jia Qiong once again went out wearing the stars and the moon.The difference is that last time he was the one who took the exam, but this time he was the one who took the exam.

Under the ardent eyes of Shen Biyun, Wang Yuyan, and Xu Weirui, Tian Li and Ping An drove their carriages to escort Jia Qiong to the examination room.

The dim light of the lantern in front of the car is like a star, slowly blending into the stars.

From the county examination to the general examination, Jia Qiong was already familiar with it, but the venue was changed from Nanjing Gongyuan to Chang'an Gongyuan.

In the square in front of Longmen, familiar students gathered in groups.

Among them, the two largest groups were the students from Wuyi Academy and the students from Wansong Academy who faced each other in front of the Dragon Gate.

Ever since the appointment of the chief and deputy examiners, students from Fujian have become agitated and often stir up trouble, causing dissatisfaction among many people.

Today, a group of students from Wuyi Academy proposed to make a bet with Wansong Academy to see which side would be on the list this time.

Whoever loses will have to admit defeat in public and even treat the other party to a drink in Taibai Building.

When Jia Qiong arrived, the two sides were facing each other, so there was a strong smell of gunpowder in front of the gantry.

Jia Qiong didn't know about the bet between the two parties, so she walked to Song Mian who was standing outside with a few big bags and asked, "Shuheng, what are they doing?"

Song Mian said: "Yu Jing, you are here. The people from Wuyi Academy have issued a challenge and want to compete with us.

The attitude was very arrogant. Nanting and the others were furious and were arguing with those people. "

Jia Qiong was speechless after hearing this. At this time, the students of Wuyi Academy were still in the mood to declare a challenge.

This is overconfidence, and maybe there are dark thoughts that disturb people's minds.

He walked to the front of the team and glanced at the group of people opposite. As expected, there were several familiar faces he had seen in Yueyang.

"Hey, aren't these the senior brothers from Wuyi Academy? What a coincidence, we meet again."

When the people on the opposite side saw Jia Qiong, the eyes of the students who knew him were a little dodgey, and they all turned their heads away from him.

The leader, Tong En, didn't know Jia Qiong and asked arrogantly: "Who are you?"

"My name is Jia Qiong, many of you have seen me, why don't you recognize me?

Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Huang.

You won’t forget the bet we made in front of Yueyang Tower, right? "

Several people opposite who had attended the Yueyang Literary Society were so ashamed and angry that they looked at Jia Qiong angrily.

Others in Wuyi Academy reacted and began to condemn.

"Jia Qiong, don't go too far!"

"Today is the test of the grand ceremony. I think you sincerely want to cause trouble?"

"Do you dare to make a bet with us this time?"

Jia Qiong showed a mocking expression: "Isn't it stupid to make a bet with you guys who don't keep their word? You won't admit it anyway if you lose."

"Insolent and disrespectful person!"

"You're just scared because of your clever words!"

Jia Qiong, regardless of the shouting from the other side, turned around and said to his classmates in Wansong Academy: "Don't worry about them.

Today is the exam ceremony. Let's not get distracted by unimportant things, otherwise we may fall into some people's tricks. "

But Tong En said reluctantly: "Jia Qiong, everyone says you are the most talented person in the world.

Do you dare to compare with me and see who ranks higher among us? "

Jia Qiong said disdainfully: "Let those people withdraw from Sanshe first, and then come and bet with me."

Tong En was speechless after just one sentence.

Jia Qiong does like to bet with others, but there is a prerequisite, that is, he must win reliably.

In this examination, the chief and deputy examiners are all members of the Fujian Party. You can tell with your toes how unfair it will be.

That's why Jia Qiong would not look for excitement stupidly. No matter what the other party said, he would not accept it. He would just use Yueyang Wenhui as the excuse and whip the corpse repeatedly.

The people in Wuyi Academy were so angry that they almost went crazy, but they could only be furious and helpless, and there was nothing they could do against him.

Not to mention Jia Qiong's prestige among students, the arrogance and arrogance of Fujian students in recent days has long made most candidates uncomfortable.

The Fujian Party controls the joint examination. If you think about it, you will know that Fujian students have a greater chance of taking the entrance examination. This is harmful to the vital interests of the majority of candidates.

At this moment, there was an opportunity to beat up the lost dog, so they all started to sidetrack themselves, heckled and asked those students to withdraw from the examination.

How could the thirty or so people from Wuyi Academy resist it? In the end, they could only say harshly, "Let's wait and see!"

Then, under the pointing fingers of everyone, he hid in the distance in despair.
