Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

90--Andrew
On February 21st, the third election was held in the county government office, and one hundred and four students gathered in the county government office back hall.

At this time, ten tables of banquets had been set up in the huge back garden. Magistrate Tan sat at the middle table and said to the arriving students.

"I spent a lot of money today. This is Chunmanlou's fine banquet, with three taels of silver per table.

I usually don't want to eat it myself, and I can't let you eat it in vain today.

There are only a hundred chairs here, and I have taken one, leaving 99 chairs.

Today the spring breeze is gentle and warm, so you should write a poem with the theme of spring breeze.

If you do well, sit down and eat. If you don't do well, come back next year.

I'll give you two sticks of incense time, and there are only 99 chairs. Whoever has an idea can speak first. "

Speaking of taking part in the county examination this year, there are also some well-known students.

In previous years, these people would have been actively writing poems at this time, vying for the top spot.

But this time, after everyone heard what Magistrate Tan had said, they all looked at Jia Qiong.

Everyone had known for a long time that Jia Qiong had already been appointed as the head of the case, but no one dared to criticize him.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Jia Qiong said with a smile: "Then let me start the discussion first.

Suxi Pavilion is full of grass, who is leaning on the east wind for twelve laps.

The swallows do not return, it is late in spring, and the apricot blossoms are cold in the misty rain. "

Magistrate Tan pointed to the seat next to him and said: "Haha, you are indeed a little poetry fairy. Jia Xiaoyou, please sit down first."

"Thank you sir."

When Jia Qiong took his seat, Magistrate Tan raised his glass and touched it with him first, and then the other students began to recite their own poems.

Magistrate Tan is not very demanding. As long as the writing is smooth and rhymes, he will let it pass.

While the students were reciting poems, Magistrate Tan selected some well-known students to introduce them to Jia Qiong, completely unlike how he would treat an ordinary student.

In fact, this is easy to understand. Jia Qiong is not a white man. Ordinary people may forget it, but people in the officialdom cannot forget it.

He is the Qingche Captain, a ninth-level title, just below the third-level general and equivalent to a fourth-level official.

In total, his status is much higher than that of Magistrate Tan, a seventh-grade magistrate.

As time gradually passed, the ten banquet tables were slowly filled.

The second incense stick is about to burn out, but there are still eight candidates left scratching their heads and thinking.

Jia Qiong noticed that one of the dark-skinned young men in simple clothes had opened his mouth several times before.

But he is a stutterer. Every time he says the word "春", he gets stuck, causing others to take the lead.

After a few times, he seemed to have lost his self-confidence, and he stood there awkwardly, not daring to speak again.

Before time ran out, two more people finally composed poems.

Although it was not really a good poem, Magistrate Tan also asked them to sit down.

Magistrate Tan said to the remaining six people: "You guys can't even write such a simple poem, so you should go back and study hard."

The six students were dejected and ready to leave, when Jia Qiong said: "Wait a minute.

Mr. Tan, that classmate seems to have already composed a poem.

Since there is still an empty seat here, how about giving him a chance and listening to his poems? "

County Magistrate Tan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "Since the little Shixian said so, I will give him a chance."

The stuttering student was surprised and bowed deeply to Jia Qiong and Magistrate Tan.

After calming down, he said: "Chun...Chun...Chun..."

He didn't say another word for a long time, and his embarrassed look made some students laugh out loud.

The stuttering student was now even more embarrassed and speechless, standing there at a loss.

At this time, a student named Lin Jian sitting next to Jia Qiong whispered to him: "His name is Tang Ying, and he studies at East Lake Academy with me.

His knowledge is very good, and I admire him very much.Unfortunately, I have this problem. I stutter when I am nervous. The more nervous I am, the worse it becomes.

Our husband also has a headache because of this. "

Jia Qiong nodded, stood up, walked to Tang Ying, and said with a smile: "Classmate Tang, you don't have to be nervous or feel embarrassed about your stuttering.

Han Feizi, Li Guang, Sima Xiangru, and Deng Ai all stuttered, but this did not prevent them from being famous throughout the ages.

Master Tan, I, and all the classmates will not rush you today.

Speak slowly, when will you finish this poem, and when will we have dinner again? "

Jia Qiong's words moved Tang Ying to tears, and also made some of the students who had just laughed at him lower their heads in shame.

The spring rain is misty and the sky is invisible, and willows and smoke are outside every door.

Nowadays, my heart is broken and I shed tears, but I still have laughter and joy.

Tang Ying finally finished reading his poem with Jia Qiong's encouragement. Jia Qiong said with a smile: "Brother Tang, this poem is far better than mine. You should sit next to the county magistrate."

After saying that, without waiting for his consent, she pulled him to sit in his original seat. Jia Qiong sat in the last empty seat instead.

Jia Qiong's behavior awes all the students. In the past, they only admired his talent, but now they are impressed by Jia Qiong's character.

With this small move, Jia Qiong has completely become the spiritual leader of this group of students and gained a group of loyal followers.

The students who had laughed at Tang Ying before stood up to apologize to him and thanked Jia Qiong for his teachings.

Magistrate Tan witnessed the whole scene and was shocked beyond words. Today he truly saw Jia Qiong's unique style and leadership qualities.

He knew that after today's incident spreads, Jia Qiong's reputation will become even louder, and he is likely to be set as a benchmark by scholars.

Using your own actions to educate others is an act of virtue that will be recorded in history books and passed down through the ages.

In the past, Jia Qiong was famous all over the world for his talents and martial arts. After today, his noble sentiments will also be praised by the world.

Magistrate Tan immediately thought with surprise that he, a small county magistrate who participated in this matter, would definitely be rewarded by the court for this matter.

This time he finally had hope of promotion and finally had hope of escaping this terrible place.

At the subsequent banquet, Jia Qiong naturally became the protagonist.

He also took the opportunity to spread his ideas and get to know some young talents.

Jia Qiong unexpectedly discovered that Tang Ying, who stuttered, was really very talented and had solid knowledge.

Magistrate Tan also said that his writing was very good. If Jia Qiong hadn't been there, the head of the case would have definitely been his.

Perhaps it was precisely because he had a stutter that he studied harder, and coupled with his considerable talent, he had such knowledge.

Tang Ying is two years younger than Jia Qiong, and her future is absolutely bright.

Even if you fail the exam this time, you will definitely be on the gold list in the future. After all, you don’t have to speak in every exam.

Moreover, his stuttering only occurs when he is nervous, which is a psychological problem.

After this exercise, his stuttering symptoms will definitely be reduced a lot.

Tang Ying was inexplicably grateful to Jia Qiong, and Jia Qiong also deliberately made friends with her.

By the end of the banquet, this promising young man had become a loyal fan of Jia Qiong.

The next day, the county government posted the county examination list.

Jia Qionghao ranked first in the case because of doubts, and Tang Ying ranked second.

Along with this list, there are also stories from the Tixue Banquet that spread.

On the afternoon when the county examination results were announced, Jia Qiong was called over by Wang Mu to have dinner with her.

Wang Mu naturally praised Jia Qiong, especially his performance at the academic banquet.

After the meal, Wang Mu called Jia Qiong to the study, took out a letter and handed it to him for Jia Qiong to read.
