Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 93 Qinhuai is full of red makeup for ten miles

On the second day, the ninety newly admitted children went to the prefect's Yamen to attend a banquet. Only then did Jia Qiong know who had passed the exam.

Tang Ying got No. 5 in the exam, and her results were still very good. Jia Qiong became more and more appreciative of this little stutterer.

Judging from these two contacts, this Tang Ying has a kind personality, a pure nature, an upright man, a hard-working student, and an excellent talent.

Although he has a slight stuttering problem, he is quite energetic and is definitely a potential stock.

Jia Qiong couldn't help but think about it. Tang Ying's family had a simple population. Her parents died young and she was raised by her grandparents. She was about the same age as her cousin, so she was a good candidate to serve as a reserve brother-in-law.

Even if Xu Weirui doesn't like it, he still has several cousins ​​from Sanchun. Their fates in the original work are quite tragic.

If there is a chance in this life, Jia Qiong can help them find a good family.

With this in mind, Jia Qiong often invited Tang Ying to come to his home to discuss knowledge.

Of course, he didn't tell anyone about the reserve brother-in-law. This was something to talk about later. Given Tang Ying's age, he didn't worry about it yet.

According to his level, he should have some confidence in passing the college examination in this subject. The provincial examination is a bit difficult, and the chance of passing the examination is even slimmer.

So Jia Qiong suggested to Tang Ying that he should go to Wansong Academy to study next year and then take the examination three years later. There should be no problem by then.

Tang Ying, of course, happily agreed to his idol's suggestion, saying that even if he passed the provincial examination, he would go to Wansong Academy for three years to further his studies.

After the imperial examination, Jia Qiong's marriage is imminent.

Xiao Shixian is going to marry the legitimate daughter of the Wang family. Naturally, such a big thing cannot be kept secret.

It's not even May yet, and everyone in Jinling City already knows that he can't keep a low profile even if he wants to. There will definitely be countless people coming to congratulate him.

Regardless of whether they know each other or not, when someone comes over on a big day, they will definitely be hosting a meal. This small house like the Jia family will definitely not be able to accommodate it.

There are also all kinds of things that need to be prepared for a wedding, a lot of bits and pieces.

Fortunately, Jia Qiong didn't have to worry about this. Shen Biyun and his father-in-law took care of it. He only needed to prepare for the exam with peace of mind.

Jia Qiong's marriage was scheduled for the sixth day of May. This day was an extremely auspicious day and everything was suitable.

On May [-]th, Shen Yan arrived together with Gongsun Yue, Chen Menglong, Guan Shanyue, Xu Fengshan, Song Mian, Zhao Lingfeng, Lu Yu and others.

Basically all of Jia Qiong's classmates will take part in this year's provincial examination and will return home immediately after attending Jia Qiong's wedding.

When friends meet, there is naturally a lot of excitement.

We haven’t seen each other for half a year, and everyone has made progress. We are also full of confidence in this year’s provincial examination, and we have agreed to meet again in Beijing next year.

On May [-]th, more than a dozen large restaurants in Jinling came out one after another. Each restaurant allocated a section and began to set up flowing banquets along the bank of the Qinhuai River.

Originally, the Jia family and the Wang family had prepared a large-scale running water mat, which was placed from the entrance of the Jia family's Pisces Alley to the edge of the Suzaku Bridge, a total of nearly two miles.

But the people knew that this was the wedding banquet of Xiao Shixian and Miss Wang. Immediately, countless people moved out the tables and chairs from their homes to make up the number, so that both sides of the Qinhuai River were filled with tables, chairs and benches.

People also put red paper and hung red silk in front of their homes to create a festive atmosphere, as if they were having a wedding at home.

Why the people are so enthusiastic is not because Jia Qiong is famous all over the world, nor is it because the Langya Wang family has a prominent family background.

It's because two years ago, the people still remembered that the Wang family spent countless money to provide relief to the victims.

So when the Wang family held a happy event, the whole city followed suit, creating a scene where Qinhuai was covered in red makeup for ten miles!
The sixth day of May in the 17th year of Longqing was the day of Jia Qiong's wedding, and it was also the day of celebration in Jinling City.

Early in the morning, firecrackers began to crackle all over the city.

On temporary stages set up in various places, famous actors from the opera theater took turns to perform, competing with southern and northern accents.

On both sides of the Qinhuai River for ten miles, the flowing water mats are filled with melons, pears, peaches, candied dried fruits.Each family put their own wine and food on the table first without waiting for the chef invited to the wedding to serve the food.

After Jia Qiong had lunch, she put on her bullfighting uniform, mounted Chi Yan, and set off with the mighty wedding team.

Wherever the team went, firecrackers were going off, and auspicious words such as "A happy marriage will bring about a baby soon" never stopped.

Jia Qiong was stunned by the festive atmosphere along the road. This scene was beyond his imagination.

Even if he becomes the number one scholar in the Sixth Song Dynasty, he may not be as good as he is today.

After walking around the city for a long time, the wedding party finally arrived at Wuyi Lane. From a distance, Jia Qiong saw a group of students blocking the intersection.

After taking a closer look, I found that this group of people were all students from Yingtian Academy, and there were many acquaintances among them. The leaders were Wang Yi and Cheng Yulong.

Jia Qiong knew that this must be the reinforcements brought by Wang Yi, so he came closer and said to everyone, "Brothers, why haven't you visited my house recently?"

Cheng Yulong smiled and said: "Haha, brother Yujing, now is not the time to reminisce about the past."

Wang Yi said: "Brother-in-law, if you want to pass here, you must pass our test."

Before Jia Qiong could speak, Xu Fengnian stepped forward and said, "Hey, I'm talking about Brother Xuefeng.

We are brothers in the Xia Club. Are you going to rebel and surrender to the enemy today? "

Cheng Yulong shook his head and said: "You can't say that, Wang Yi is our classmate.

When her sister got married, we naturally became her mother's family. "

Zhao Lingfeng stepped forward and said: "Senior Brother Xu, there is no need to waste words with them.

Whether it's a couplet or a poem, just mark it down and we'll take care of it. "

The students of Yingtian Academy burst out laughing when they heard this. Cheng Yulong said: "Okay, Zilong is indeed full of courage!"

Wang Yi smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, we won't be in trouble for you today.

We are all willing to be inferior in poetry writing. Today we are going to test your drinking capacity. "

Jia Qiong and the others looked at the three jars of wine brought out from the opposite side and were speechless for a moment.

I thought to myself, what kind of trick is this? This jar of wine weighs ten kilograms. Are you trying to make us drink to death here?

Lu Yu immediately yelled: "What kind of rule is this? I have never heard that you have to test your drinking capacity when welcoming a bride."

Wang Yi smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, just listen to me.

There are three jars of female red here, and we have prepared three lantern riddles.

If you guess a lantern riddle, you can drink one less jar. If you guess all the riddles, you don't have to drink. "

Everyone felt relieved when they heard that they were just guessing lantern riddles.

Yan Bin patted his chest and said, "You scared us if you didn't tell us earlier.

Okay, you guys hurry up and come up with the questions. It's just a lantern riddle that's trying to stump us. "

Cheng Yulong smiled and said: "Don't take it lightly. These three questions we asked are very difficult to guess."

Lu Yu said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just a lantern riddle? Just come here."

Wang Yi smiled and said: "It has been prepared for a long time. Look over here."
