The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 184
After the exam, the candidates began to leave one after another.The examiners will review the papers overnight tonight, and the results will be released at the county government at Maoshi tomorrow.

At the gate of the school grounds, Jia Min and his party met Ma Shangde, Niu Jizong and his party again, and they turned out to be waiting here specially.

"Brother Min, how did you do in the exam?"

Niu Jizong still had a pleasant smile on his face, as if he was a groom every day, and there were always happy events.

"It's not bad, I think it's no problem to get a first-class in this subject."

Jia Min didn't take him seriously either, and thought: By then, you will know how powerful I am.At that time, see if you can still laugh.

"Then congratulate Brother Min first. It's just that Brother Ma may not agree to you when the time comes. Brother Ma wants to win the first prize."

"Since Brother Ma wants to win the first prize, I will let him leave it to me. I will be content with the second place and third place."

"Brother Min has self-knowledge after all. However, I heard that Brother Min seems to have some new tricks in training soldiers now. I have been thinking about going to see it someday. I wonder if Brother Min welcomes it?"

Alas, this Niu Jizong is hopeless.If you fail in business, you always want to save face in other things.This mentality is too fragile.

"Actually, I don't know much about military training, and I was thinking of going to Brother Niu for advice."

"It's okay to ask for advice, but I haven't cultivated anything well yet. However, when the military parade is held in the future, I can teach and give advice to Brother Min."

It means that I will teach you a lesson and tell you what training is called when the inspection is held in the future.

"Okay, if that day really comes, I will definitely ask Big Brother Niu for advice. In fact, Big Brother Niu doesn't need to ride a horse to come here. It's also very convenient to take my family's bus."

As soon as he picked up the bus, Niu Jizong's sore spot was touched, the corner of his mouth twitched, he smiled awkwardly, and left.

The gloved man, known as the iron palm stele opener, looked back at Jia Min before leaving, and then followed.

Wanping County is under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture.Shuntian Prefecture governs more than 20 counties including Wanping, Daxing, Changping and Zhuozhou.Each county and state has a quota of about 20 children for admission.

Therefore, as long as Jia Min's score is within 20, he can be shortlisted and go to Shuntianfu to take the township examination.

In this regard, Jia Min is still very confident.At present, he is still in the stage of controlling the rhythm and has not gone all out.The opponents in the future will become stronger and stronger, and there is no need for him to expose his strength prematurely.

If you act too ostentatiously from the beginning, you may become the target of public criticism.It would not be a good thing if people with ulterior motives like Niu Jizong paid attention to themselves prematurely.

Back at Yeduju, I met the person Feng Ziying sent back to report.It was originally planned that Feng Ziying would come back within two days.Now the letter tells Jia Min that he still has to wait for a few days.The recruitment of soldiers in Zhili went smoothly, exceeding the original expectations.

Originally planned to bring a group of people back first, now, just stay a few more days, recruit enough people at once, and bring them back together.

Jia Min ordered Jiao Li to arrange the logistics support such as food and accommodation in advance, and told Chen Yejun to continue training the existing students.

Now, the queue and internal affairs training are over, and what is going on is the study of basic tactics, physical training, and military doctrine.

These people from various mansions are not bad in terms of cultural quality. After training for a period of time, they have made great progress in terms of cultivation, and they are very motivated to learn military theory.

In recent decades, Jia Jing and Jia Zhu were the only children of Jia's family who participated in the imperial examination and achieved fame.

Although both of them achieved fame and fame, Jia Jing has been practicing Taoism now, and Jia Zhu died early.It seems that the end is not very good.

This ending is still very disproportionate to the status of the Jia Mansion.Compared with other relatively large families, Jia's mansion is also faintly overwhelmed by others in this respect.

Although the current status of Wuju is not as high as that of Wenju, it is still a serious imperial examination after all.It would be a very honorable thing if one could really obtain the Jinshi qualification in the general examination.

Therefore, the entire Jia family is still looking forward to Jia Min's passing the child's test.

Yesterday, Jia Min sent a letter back to the mansion, saying that there was a good chance of passing it.Tell the government to get ready.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare.Nothing more than two things.One is to send someone to the county government to stay and wait for the list to be released, and then report back as soon as possible.The second is to wait at home and prepare some rewards. When the person who reported the letter from the county comes, he will give some rewards.

Jia Min has now undertaken the errands of military training, especially the vast majority of military expenses for military training.In addition, the launch of the lock plan and popcorn plan made everyone in the house busy making money.Therefore, people in the house now have a good impression of Jia Min.

Now that Mother Jia has no worries, she is in a better mood.Every day, I lead my family members to eat, drink and have fun.

Jia Amnesty bought shares in the popcorn business, and Jia Min didn't pursue his personal business, so he was happy to drink every day and have fun with his concubines.

Jia Zheng is still his salaryman, going to the Yamen every day to order Mao.

Mrs. Wang is also very comfortable.Baoyu doesn't have to go to the army to suffer. Baochai is in charge of business matters, and Wang Xifeng is in charge of housekeeping.One of the two is his niece and the other is his niece, both are reassuring figures.When I recited the Buddha's name, I became more focused.

Ever since Wang Xifeng had a drink with Jia Min that night, she felt completely relieved.The next day, they asked someone to find Ping'er and began to discuss the matter of opening a supermarket by themselves.Now I have rented the house, it is in the middle of Rongning Street, the location is very good.

She didn't deliberately hide this matter from others.He even seemed to have slipped his mouth carelessly.

Therefore, the housekeepers, managers and some decent people in the mansion all knew that Lian's Second Grandma had opened a shop on Rongning Street, and it was about to open soon.

It used to be that people thought that Second Grandma Lian and Fourth Master Min, who was in charge now, were rivals, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Because Second Mistress Lian's shop was opened with the help of Miss Ping'er next to Fourth Master Min.

So, someone asked insinuatingly, if this was a joint venture between Fourth Master Min and Second Grandma Lian.

Wang Xifeng hadn't thought of this marketing point before, but when he saw someone asking such a question, he had an idea and purposely made his words vague.Don't say yes, don't say no.Many people believed that this was a partnership between Fourth Master Min and Second Mistress Lian.

Therefore, many people urged Wang Xifeng to open the store quickly so that they could go to the store to buy goods as soon as possible.

In this way, Wang Xifeng's store had many customers before it even opened.Some purchases in the mansion, unless they are too urgent, also ask Wang Xifeng to postpone as much as possible, and wait until her shop opens, and then go there to purchase.

Now when talking about Jia Min with others, Wang Xifeng always speaks kind words, which makes people who hear it feel different.

Last night, Wang Xifeng had a dream, and it turned out that she was doing that couple's affair with Jia Min.Now when I think of Jia Min, if he wins the exam, he must be Guangzong Yaozu, majestic and majestic, I feel a little itchy in my heart, there is a hint of sweetness, but also a little hot.Reaching out to touch his face, he felt a little hot.

At the right time, the mansion has already served meals.What the subordinates should do, they all went to do.Somewhat strangely, the subordinates do not need to urge them as they used to.The number of lazy and slippery people has been greatly reduced.Most of them are in a hurry to finish their work, and then sit down and work.Even the phenomenon of visiting and chatting, which was common in the past, is rare.

The masters gathered in Rongxi Hall, waiting for the news of Jia Mintong's trial.

According to the order of the ancestors, Jia Rong was sent to the county government early in the morning to wait for the announcement.Although unwilling, Jia Rong went.

Jia Rong's servant, Shou'er, came in, probably with news.

As soon as he entered the room, Shou'er knelt down and kowtowed.

"Slave pays respects to the ancestor, congratulations to the ancestor, congratulations to the first master, second master and wife, congratulations to all the masters, congratulations..."

"Okay, don't congratulate me yet, tell me quickly, but is there any news?"

The old lady was in a hurry.

"Uncle Rong and I went to the county government early in the morning..."

Shou'er is still rambling.

"I know you went to the county government office, you don't need to say anything else, just say you won or not?"

"Fourth Master Min won."

"What number is it?"

"The one in the middle is the third one, and the one named Marchand has to go."

Hearing that he won the third place, everyone immediately cheered up.Even if it is not the first, this result is very good.

"Okay, it's good if you win. Even if you are third, you are still a scholar. After all, it is the ancestors who are virtuous, and the ancestors bless me, and my family has another scholar."

The old lady was very happy. Seeing that Shou'er was still kneeling on the ground, she told her to get up quickly.

"Yuanyang, grab a handful of copper coins and reward this child. You are also the one who talks too much, picking up irrelevant things and making me anxious. If you talk too much in the future, see if I won't beat you with a walking stick."

As he spoke, everyone burst into laughter.

As soon as Shou'er went out here, the sound of drums outside sounded, and it turned out that the servants from the county came to announce the good news.

After receiving the good news and giving money, the sound of drums and music went away, and Rongxi Hall was still in joy.

"Girl Feng, have you written to Brother Ming?"

"I took a message yesterday, and asked Brother Ming to come back today, and it seems that he will be here soon. The old ancestor sent a message. Even if Brother Min is in the ends of the earth, he must come back quickly."

"That's not necessarily true. Sometimes, this brother Ming doesn't even listen to me."

When the old lady said this, everyone was taken aback.I don't know what Jiamu means.

In fact, everyone is overwhelmed.Jia's mother didn't mean anything in particular, she just said it casually.

"No matter how bad-tempered Brother Ming is, he is just a monkey grandson. How could he ever jump out of the palm of his ancestors? If you ask him to work as a transport carriage, he will work as a transport carriage. If you ask him to lead the army, he will lead the army." Bing. This time, the ancestor asked him to bring back the number one scholar, and he dared not refuse."

"Hey, look, Feng girl can speak with her mouth. Well, when the time comes, I'll ask him to bring back the champion."
