[Red Chamber] The imperial examination life of the great master

Jia Amnesty remained calm, sneered in his heart, showing shame.

"Brother Jia, please publish the next couplet." Liu Zihua made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He is confident that it is absolutely impossible for Jia She to come up with the second line at a cup of tea time. This first line seems not difficult, but it is a pun. It is not easy to come up with a second line that can also be a pun things.

Yan Shenggong broke into a cold sweat for Jia She.

The courtroom suddenly fell silent.

Even the people outside were silent.

Zhang Heng frowned slightly, he thought Jia Amnesty was a bit strange.

Jia Amnesty's expression did not seem to be puzzled, but more hesitant.

What is he hesitating about?

Yan Shenggong also saw that something was wrong with Jia Amnesty.

The time for a cup of tea is fleeting.

Everyone looked at Jia She, with eyes full of excitement, they were waiting, waiting for Jia She to lose this round.

That way, even if they apologize, it won't be too embarrassing.

Jia Amnesty is hesitating.

Do you stay ahead of others so that we can meet each other in the future, or do you want to...

"Brother Jia, time is running out." Liu Zihua's eyes were somewhat smug.

Jia Amnesty looked at the people outside the courtroom, he saw the gloating on their faces and the sneer in their eyes, his eyes paused on Zhang Heng.

The two looked at each other.

Zhang Heng didn't say anything, maybe he had already guessed what Jia She was hesitating about, maybe he didn't.

But he did not interfere with Jia Amnesty's decision.

This is his trust in Jia She.

The time is coming to an end.

Yan Shenggong felt sorry.

A mocking look flashed across Liu Zihua's face.

"Students have a second couplet—a horse stumbles in the mud, how can an old beast get out of its hoof (question)." Jia She smiled and said word by word, this couplet is not only for Liu Zihua, but also for the behind-the-scenes Manual.

Animals are animals!

"Wow—" There was an uproar inside and outside the courtroom.

Jia Amnesty's couplets are too vicious, but people have to say hello!

Liu Zihua insulted him as a monkey, Jia Amnesty responded that he was a horse, Liu Zihua humiliated him and couldn't answer the sentences, so he replied how could he come up with a question!

Yan Shenggong couldn't help laughing.

Sure enough, he is a young man, but he appreciates it!

If Jia Amnesty really didn't answer the second couplet just because of these people, Yan Shenggong's perception of him would be slightly discounted.

These scholars can cause such a mess because of a catch-up matter.

In the future, even if you are lucky for a while, you will make trouble sooner or later.

For these people, wronging yourself is not worth it.

Liu Zihua's face was pale, and his feet were limp, but they were lying on the ground.

Yan Shenggong twirled his beard and looked around at the crowd. Cai Hengan secretly complained in his heart. If he knew that Jia Amnesty was capable, he should not have agreed to Jia Amnesty's words just now. Now it is better.

"One word from a gentleman is hard to follow." Yan Shenggong said meaningfully looking at the students inside and outside the court.

Everyone turned pale, and apologized to Jia Amnesty in front of Yan Shenggong. This is true, true...

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Jia Amnesty smiled.

Laughing very annoyingly.

Everyone gritted their teeth, at this moment, Jia Amnesty spoke.

"You and I are both scholars..."

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

Could it be that Jia She didn't need them to apologize?

"But why is the gap so big?" Jia She said the second half of the sentence with a smile, almost throwing her anger away.

"You!" Someone looked at Jia She angrily.

"What's wrong with me?" Jia Amnesty still had a smile on his face, but when the smile caught people's eyes, it made people feel chills in their hearts. "Did I murder and set fire? Or did I frame others with empty words?"

"What kind of framing is just a misunderstanding." Someone said forcefully and filled with righteous indignation.

"Yeah, we just misunderstood." Others nodded their heads.

"Misunderstanding?" Jia Amnesty repeated this sentence, his face changed immediately, and he sneered, "What is a misunderstanding! Is it a misunderstanding to defile someone's innocence? Is it a misunderstanding to try to win someone's fame? Is it a misunderstanding to force me to defend myself in court? It really kills!"

After asking three times in a row, everyone's faces turned green and then pale, and then turned pale and green.

These three questions left them speechless.

They were also powerless to refute, just because everything Jia She said was true.

When the impulse faded and their senses recovered, they realized how stupid what they had done just now was just suspicion without even evidence, and they were instigated to believe that Jia Amnesty was cheating.

Right now, the trouble did not reach His Majesty, but if it happened in the court, it would be no small matter.

Everyone was shocked, and their backs were almost soaked.

long silence.

Jia Amnesty put his hands behind his back and stared at everyone coldly.

Zhilan Yushu, its splendor is shining, and its charm has been revealed.

"What an eloquent Xie Yuanlang." Yan Shenggong sighed.

The scholars inside and outside the court were even more ashamed. Even Yan Shenggong acquiesced in Jia She's talent, and they were even more ashamed.

"I'll apologize to Brother Jia, please forgive me." Everyone lowered their heads and apologized in shame.

Jia Amnesty glanced at everyone, snorted coldly, turned to Yan Shenggong and said, "Thank you, old man, for seeking justice for me today, and I will definitely come to the door to thank you someday."

"No need." Yan Shenggong smiled and shook his head, "The old man just did what he should do. The matter is clear now, and the old man will stay soon. I just hope that you will study hard in the future and don't make trouble again. What happened today."

"Yes!" Everyone became more and more ashamed.

After Yan Shenggong left.

Cai Hengan was stunned, what should we do now?

Xu Shangshu wants to deprive Jia Amnesty of his fame, but now those scholars have apologized and admitted that they were wrong, can they still sue Jia Amnesty?

"My lord, the students are leaving." Jia Amnesty cupped his hands in front of Cai Heng'an and said calmly.

"Ah...Okay, let's go." Cai Hengan waved his hand, that's all, that's all, this is a hard stubble, if he insists on making a move, he will have to lose his skin. As for Xu Shangshu, the grievances between the two families should be handed over to them yourself.

out of court.

Jia She was refreshed and in a bright mood. Even when he saw Zhang Heng's carriage, he felt that the carriage was much more beautiful than before.

Strange to say, Zhang Heng is extremely handsome and handsome, but this carriage is very ordinary, not eye-catching at all.

"Get in the car, Xie Yuanlang." Zhang Heng lifted the curtain and said with a smile.

Jia Amnesty rubbed his nose and thought to himself, he didn't know the fate with Mr. Zhang, every time he was unlucky, he would always meet him.

Jia Amnesty got into the carriage with his hand.

This carriage doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it’s really comfortable inside. The seats are covered with cushions, the small red clay stove is burning vigorously, and the clear water carries a faint fragrance of bamboo, which makes people feel like they’re in a secluded bamboo forest. illusion.

"Your Excellency's tea ceremony really makes the students never forget it." Jia Amnesty praised after taking a sip of tea.

Zhang Heng glanced at him sideways, duplicity, really want to never forget, the door of his Zhangfu is open every day, and he has never seen him walk in front of the door, Yan Shenggong's comment is indeed right, this Xie Yuanlang is indeed She is eloquent, and not only eloquent, but also incongruous!

"Why does your lord look at me like that?" Jia Amnesty was a little horrified by Zhang Heng's eyes.

He touched his face, don't be dirty.

"It's nothing." Zhang Heng sipped his tea and changed the subject, "I have something to ask you, can you explain it to me?"

"Your Excellency, just ask directly." Jia She was in a good mood, so he agreed directly.

"It's not a big problem, but I just want to know how you moved Yan Shenggong?" Zhang Heng put the teacup on the tea tray, holding the teacup with his slender white fingers, with a bit of indescribable beauty.

Jia She paused, raised his eyelids and looked at Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng asked this question really ingeniously, without being too offensive, and at the same time expressing that they were in the same camp.

"What? Can't you answer?" Zhang Heng smiled.

He smiled lightly and calmly, which actually made Jia She feel a little embarrassed.

In fact, he shouldn't be so wary of Zhang Heng, but Zhang Heng's status is too high, and his attitude towards him is so peaceful. This is the reason why he has been resisting contact with Zhang Heng these days.

Nothing to show courteousness - either adultery or robbery.

However, now it seems that he is thinking too much.

"There is nothing that can't be said." Jia She said with a smile, "I just told Yan Shenggong that his visit this time will be beneficial to him and will not cause any harm."

"Really?" Zhang Heng became curious. Yan Shenggong is not a cat or a dog. He can persuade him to come, even he is curious about what he said.

"Yes." Jia Amnesty looked directly at Zhang Heng, and said in a low voice: "Although Yan Shenggong is a descendant of Confucius, he has a lot of thoughts, and he has always been quite dissatisfied with the treatment of Yan Shenggong by this dynasty. The second time he came to Beijing, he was looking for a price, and wanted to use Jiang Taigong’s fishing trick——Whoever wants to take the bait. It’s just a pity that the seventh prince, Yan Shenggong doesn’t like it, and His Royal Highness, Yan Shenggong can’t get in touch. If he doesn’t do it again With a bit of reputation, even if Yan Shenggong is the patriarch, it is difficult to face the clansmen, so the student gave him a suggestion."

There were ripples under Zhang Heng's eyes, and when he lowered his eyes, the ripples gradually disappeared.

However, there was a huge wave in my heart.

Was Jia Amnesty wrong?

No, no, on the contrary, he was so right!

Political acumen far beyond his age.

Zhang Heng asked himself, even at Jia She's age, he may not be able to calculate a person's mind so clearly.

Especially when plotting against someone as high as Yan Shenggong.

He was very happy at this moment.

Jainhou is his natural ally, not an enemy.

Jia Amnesty didn't notice Zhang Heng's strangeness, and he continued: "The student analyzed the interests of Yan Shenggong, and he came to the court in person. Not only will he not insult Yan Shenggong's status, but he can also make people feel that he is approachable. Leave a good impression on the hearts of the world. Moreover, I also promised him that I am willing to bet and admit defeat!"

Zhang Heng nodded, and he took a sip of tea to hide his astonishment.

It has to be said that even if he is in Yan Shenggong's position, even if he knows that others have tricked him, he will never be angry because of this trick.

Because, to him, this strategy is just like what Jia She said - it benefits nothing but harms nothing.

"Very good." Zhang Heng said softly after a long silence.

"What?" Jia Amnesty didn't hear Zhang Heng's words clearly, and raised his eyes subconsciously, just in time to meet Zhang Heng's gaze.

Among Zhang Heng's looks, his eyes stand out the most. If he hadn't always been incomprehensible about style and didn't care about the thoughts of those men and women, the threshold of Zhang's mansion would have been smoothed out long ago.

Jia She's ears turned red, and he quickly lowered his head.

Zhang Heng didn't notice Jia She's strangeness, he poured tea for Jia She with a smile, "I praised you for being well, are you happy?"

"...Happy." Under Zhang Heng's gaze, Jia Amnesty had to tell the truth.

Jia Amnesty silently wrote down a lesson in his heart - don't look directly at Mr. Zhang, because his appearance is too handsome.
