The True Winner of the Red Chamber

It's only a month before leaving the mansion, and Zhen Yingjia's life in this month is really fulfilling.

Different from the county examination, the government examination not only requires stereotyped essays, but if you want to pass the exam, you also have to write literary stereotyped essays, so for the entire month before this, Zhen Yingjia was basically locked up by Li Daji.

Maybe it was because Li Daji wanted to make a small three yuan in his own hands, or he had strict requirements on Zhen Yingjia's high standards. In short, this month, Zhen Yingjia didn't even see his own children, and he wrote three stereotyped essays every morning, noon and evening.

But the results are pretty good, at least in the eyes of the teachers who have been examiners in Qingsong Academy, this level is adequate to take part in the rural examination.

Different from other families, these students who live in Jinling City do not need to go out in advance, and because Zhen Yingjia has already taken off her vest, all the students in Qingsong Academy who participated in the government examination this time will be on the second day of April. In the evening, I went to live in Zhen's mansion.

Of course, Kang He received the best treatment, and he was taken to live in Zhen Yingjia's small study.

Just after midnight, Zhen Yingjia got up. Although the exam was only for one day, she still had to go to the exam room in advance. Besides the body search, she had to find the exam booth.

At this time, it is different from watching the examination room in advance to familiarize yourself with the examination room. In order to prevent cheating, the magistrate can't wait to let the students who take the exam enter the examination room blindfolded. Know who your neighbors really are.

Qingsong Academy had a total of over a hundred students who participated in the government examination this time, and all of them sat in the carriage of Zhen's family and went to the examination room.

Zhen Yingjia rolled her golden fingers all the way with a smile, and Kang He, who was sitting opposite him, thought it was very funny.

The post five days ago: All the students in this scientific examination can stay at my house.

This post was liked by more than 500 people, and more than 100 people reposted it.

The news from the day before yesterday: I went to the examination room on the third day of April, and the Zhen family sent me a carriage to see me off.

More than 100 people liked this post and reposted more than [-].

And it keeps rising.

Suddenly a message flashed in Zhen Yingjia's mind, and he froze.

"What's wrong with you?" Kang He looked at Zhen Yingjia who was stiff for a moment, thinking something happened, and asked worriedly.

Zhen Yingjia recalled, looked at Kang He and shook his head, "It's okay, I just feel that after passing the government examination this time, there will be a hospital examination, and it will take three years to take the provincial examination, which is a bit regrettable."

Kang He smiled and comforted him, "Even if you won't win the prize until three years later, it's considered fast."

Zhen Yingjia didn't talk to him, and Kang He thought he was worried about the exam, so he quietly didn't bother him.

But Zhen Yingjia is not for this.

He was upgraded, just this morning, just now, the news said that he had been promoted to the third level.

Since Zhen Yingjia got the golden finger, he felt that the third level was a watershed.

Gold fingers below the third level are basically useless, and only when they are upgraded to the third level will they have value.

At the third level, you can see other people's homepages, you can see other people's dynamics, and from the third level, the accumulated points can be exchanged for a big V blessing, and the credibility of speaking will increase by 30%.

This [-]% is simply too important for a person who intends to enter the officialdom.

But... A trace of regret suddenly flashed across Zhen Yingjia's face. The exam questions were given by the magistrate. If it had been two days earlier...he might have seen the exam questions.

He shook his head, not too regretful.

After all, even if he got the exam questions, he couldn't really use this to ask Li Daji for advice. It's not clear whether he would be reported and exposed afterwards.

It's just that you know the topic in advance, and you can figure it out in private.

But now it's not much different, Zhen Yingjia smiled with satisfaction.

The special training before the exam was actually done on the topics that Li Daji guessed.

Although I don't know the exam questions, there are a large range: Four Books and Five Classics.

Then, according to the prefect's school of thought, familiarity with these scriptures, his political opinions, etc., and then remove the questions that have been tested in recent years, the rest is almost the same.

Zhen Yingjia flipped through a total of 87 stereotyped essays in her hand, but she couldn't resist poking into the Zhifu's homepage in her mind.

"No. 30 eight." Zhen Yingjia said, this is the exam question he saw from the magistrate's homepage.Then...whether it was to remind or show off, he also told Kang He more tactfully.

The two of them have the same set of exercises in their hands, and he can probably guess the reason. With Kang He's identity, if his grades are not very good, he will lose face to the emperor. It is safe to teach one to teach the other. Come on.

As for him missing the question with Kang He, it was because he thought of his own route.

In case the imperial examination route fails... he can actually take the magic stick route.

And to put it bluntly, the champion comes once every three years.As for the magic stick?The three emperors may not be able to find one.

After going through almost the same procedure as the county examination, Zhen Yingjia sat in the examination room and verified that her grandfather-in-law was as reliable as Goldfinger.

Kang He also answered the questions smoothly, and even found time to lose his mind after answering the questions.

For example, this exam question.

The scope Li Daji set for him is 87 articles, and then?Zhen Yingjia shortened it to one article this morning.

But where did he get the news?

As far as Kang He knew, the exam questions would not come out too early, usually three days before the exam.Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the magistrate has discussed with others in advance and asked this question. In this case, it is not certain how long ago the question was asked.

But... When did Zhen Yingjia get in touch with the magistrate?

Kang He knew that Zhen Yingjia was acquainted with the magistrate, but since the county examination, they were basically inseparable.

They lived together in a small study room when they were in Zhen's mansion, and even shared a room when they were in the academy. It can be said that if Zhen Yingjia went to meet someone, he would definitely know.

Kang He shook his head, it didn't matter when he met the magistrate, the key was that he could get the exam questions.

If this person passed the provincial examination - Kang He never doubted this, and always felt that he would go further.If this person wins the election, the Prince Yi will definitely not let go in the desperate situation he is in now.

Kang He remembered that when he went back to the capital during the Chinese New Year, the prince became more and more absurd.

Either let Miss Zhen go to Kang Quan's house, or enter his house.

But... When Kang He thought of Zhen Yingjia, although he felt that getting along with him was very pleasant, he didn't want him to become his relative.

Kang He stood up and handed in the paper. Anyway, he had to make a decision earlier.

Not long after, Zhen Yingjia also handed in the paper.

When the list was released three days later, his article that was read by all the teachers of Qingsong Academy won the first place, and Kang He was the second.

Zhen Yingjia just became a child student, and she is waiting to take the entrance examination next year.

After the government examination, Zhen Yingjia stopped holding banquets with great fanfare. It was only four months before the township examination. At this time, holding a banquet might disturb others' studies, not to mention points, maybe someone will deduct points for him up.

The second is that the two banquets in a row are indeed a little publicity. Anyway, after the August Township test, the Luming Banquet will also be held in his Ningcui Garden, and the points will be collected at that time.

However, large-scale banquets cannot be held, and small-scale banquets are still fine.

Zhen's mother ordered the cook at home to cook a table of dishes to reward her son.Before the banquet, she went to the mourning hall where father Zhen's tablet was enshrined, and burned incense with red eyes.

"My son really made progress this time."

Zhen Yingjia hadn't lived at home for a long time. Although the conditions in the academy were not too harsh, there were more than a dozen people sharing one servant, and things like boiling water and taking a bath were scored as odd or even numbers.

So when he returned home, he once again experienced the decadent life of the ruling class, lying contentedly on a chair and basking in the sun.

"Master, the old lady is here." Yaru whispered.

Zhen Yingjia hurriedly got up and saw Dongxuan walking in with Zhen's mother.

Mother Zhen smiled happily, and when she saw Zhen Yingjia, she said, "There is good news from Beijing."

Zhen Yingjia was inexplicably flustered, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"This is truly a double blessing." Zhen's mother didn't understand Zhen Yingjia's anxiety at all. Instead, she interpreted this emotion as anticipation, and deliberately delayed for a long time before saying: "The side concubine Zhao of the prince's mansion has taken a fancy to our eldest girl. The Toja Mansion has come to ask about the birth date!"

"What!" Zhen Yingjia stood up suddenly, pacing in the yard.

"Why are you panicking?" Mother Zhen smiled and said, "Isn't that why you sent the child in at the beginning, now that your wish has been fulfilled, it's time to be happy."

Zhen Yingjia frowned and sat down again, she had to think of an excuse to push her away.

Mother Zhen continued to speak, "Although the eldest girl wrote her birthday when she entered the palace, Concubine Zhao is so serious that she entrusted the Jia family with whom we have a good relationship to ask, to put our girl at ease. up."

"Mother... Concubine Zhao is a concubine after all, and her son is also a concubine. This... son is still unwilling."

Mother Zhen hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Everyone says that concubine sons are favored, but concubine sons are not well-known."

"The prince's concubine is already married, should Zhiyin be a concubine?" Zhen Yingjia asked, "Besides, I have a good future now. When I enter the court as an official, my eldest daughter will be the concubine of the prince's concubine... , how do you tell your son to make friends with officials?"

"You're right." Zhen's mother also frowned, she took out the letter from her bosom, handed it to Zhen Yingjia, and said, "The old lady of Jia's family said that when the crown prince goes further, Zhiyin doesn't care whether she's a concubine or not." At that time, a side concubine will be indispensable. Also, the concubine will be favored much more than the concubine, in the future... the imperial concubine is not out of the question."

"Can they believe it?" Zhen Yingjia was really angry this time, "None of the three generations in their family has any future! If they hadn't sent a letter that day to persuade me, my daughter would still be enjoying life at home! But at the age of ten, I would give her away." Go out to serve people, when will my Zhen family make a fortune on this!"

Seeing her son's anger, Zhen's mother immediately lowered her voice, "But Zhiyin is still young, and even a normal marriage proposal would have to be pushed twice to make the woman look noble. Besides, it's just an inquiry," Zhen's mother comforted her son, "Wait Let's talk later."

Half of Zhen Yingjia's anger was feigned. When Zhen's mother left, he immediately sat down to read the letter, but he couldn't help but feel suspicious again.

Mingming Kanghe said that Zhiyin had already been asked to go to the princess's house, so why did it happen in just a few months.
