Chapter 275: The B-word volume is cool
A complex look of helplessness, regret and expectation flashed across Mother Jia's rich and fair face, and she nodded: "Well, I passed the national examination last year, and of course I will take the Spring Festival this year. If I pass the examination, it will be different. ”
Even Jia’s mother and the vast majority of people in the Jia family did not think that Feng Ziying would be able to pass Chunwei.
I remember that Mr. Jing from Dongfu next door was the best at studying in the Jia family. After passing the imperial examination, he took the Chunwei exam five times, from the age of twenty-two to thirty-four, before he was awarded a top-three Jinshi. That is considered quite good among the Jinshi age.
Feng Ziying was the youngest person to be elected after the capital was moved to the Great Zhou Dynasty at the age of fourteen. If he were to win a Jinshi at the age of fifteen, wouldn't he become the youngest Jinshi in the Great Zhou Dynasty? That's incredible.
According to what most people in the Jia family think, no matter how old the Feng family is, it will take two or three passes to pass the exam. If you can pass the Jinshi exam at the age of twenty, you will be a young man.
"I didn't expect that Brother Feng, who is only a few years older than us, would be able to pass the Jinshi examination." Shi Xiangyun shook his head repeatedly, "I'm afraid Brother Bao will have to work hard, or he will be too far behind."
Yuanyang's face stiffened, and he quietly took a look at his ancestor's expression. Seeing that there was not much change, he quietly pressed his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's also Miss Shi's carefree nature that our ancestors don't mind. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would offend our ancestors.
Actually, Jia Mu felt a bit sour when she heard Shi Xiangyun say this, but this was because her grandson was not living up to expectations, so who could blame him?
The whole family hopes that he can study, and they will give him whatever he wants, and he will be satisfied with whatever he wants. Even Feng Ziying is tried by the government to get him to give him various tutoring, but he himself doesn't like studying, so what can he do?
It can't be said that he doesn't like reading. He just doesn't like classics, meanings and policy discussions. He is good at reciting poems and composing poems, but this can only be used as a fig leaf.
While he was talking, Wang Xifeng came first.
"Second sister-in-law, second brother Lian and second brother Bao went to see the ranking list and haven't come back yet?" Shi Xiangyun put his arm around Wang Xifeng and said affectionately.
"Not yet. There are probably too many people and we can't squeeze in." Wang Xifeng also smiled and said: "Girl Yun rarely comes here now, so stay for a few more days before leaving."
Shi Xiangyun pouted, "I really want to live here forever and never go back. Can second sister-in-law always take care of my food and drink?"
Wang Xifeng and Jia Mu were both amused. Jia Mu even patted the pillow next to her and said with a smile: "Do you think our house can't take care of you? Stay as long as you want. I'll have someone go say hello over there."
"Yes, with Yun Yatou here, our house will be a lot more lively. The second sister and Lin are boring gourds. Bao Yatou and the fourth sister don't like to go out either. Only Tan Yatou is more lively. Without you, , our house should be more popular." Wang Xifeng also agreed.
"Really? Grandpa, second sister-in-law, then I will really live here, so that I can go to Sister Bao and Sister Lin every day. They like me the most, and Tan Yatou is more annoying than me, and they don't dislike me. ..." Shi Xiangyun was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"Why do you mean I'm more annoying than you?" Tan Chun's clear voice sounded, with his hands on his waist, he glared at Shi Xiangyun angrily: "Girl Yun, you have been slandering us behind our backs all day long, now it's great , you want to live in our house for a long time, do you really think Sister Bao and Sister Lin like you? Let me tell you, in two days, they will be able to see through your true face. Dogs hate people, and when they see you, they will If you want to tell the girl to close the door, you can only come to my place to hang out..."
Tanchun's words made everyone in the room laugh.
Shi Xiangyun was also very angry and wanted to tear Tanchun's mouth apart. The two girls twisted together, making Jia Mu smile.
Baoyu followed Jia Lian back to the house somewhat sadly, said goodbye to Jia Lian, and then quietly returned to his yard.
"Hey, the second master is back?" Meiren and Zixiao were on duty today. Before he could speak, Jia Baoyu went straight into the house, got on the bed and lay down.
Unexpectedly, Brother Feng really won the Jinshi. Seeing the ecstatic scholars around the imperial list and the jubilant family members congratulating him, Jia Baoyu felt confused in his heart. He didn't know whether he should be happy, angry or sad.
Brother Lian was very happy. When he saw Brother Feng's name on the list, he couldn't help but come back early to announce the good news.
The question is, is this news good news for you? Jia Baoyu doesn't know.
Although Brother Feng and his father had expressed their expectations for him explicitly or covertly after the autumn of last year, he was still very happy at that time. He could finally get rid of things like Jingyi Policy Theory that were a headache to watch. Reading poems, reciting poems and painting, and discussing with the sisters are quite relaxing.
It’s just that I still need to go to the ethnography school to study every day, but there is no longer as much pressure as before.
It seems that everything is fine, but why do I feel uncomfortable for no reason when I see the cheerful students under the imperial list today?
He can despise the official career and economy, and he can not care about making a living, but that doesn't mean that others can do it. The Jia family now has enough food and clothing and can protect everything, but that doesn't mean that it will always be like this in the future.
He had been vaguely aware of some things, but he was still in a state of ignorance about more things. These factors that affected his mood only briefly disturbed his mood, so when Meiren came in and told him the history When the eldest girl came over and the ancestor asked him to pass, all this was forgotten.
Seeing Jia Baoyu running out like flying, Zixiao hurriedly got him a cloak. It was a cold spring, and the weather was suddenly warm and cold, and the maids were also afraid that the master would get sick from the cold.
"How come the second master was so sleepy before, but now he is so excited and happy?" Qingwen was **** at the waterside. She saw Baoyu running out happily and asked him casually. The windows on the porch are covered with smog.
"I don't know. Second Master Bao went out with Second Master Lian in the morning. Who knows why he was unhappy, but now it was Mei who told him that Miss Shi Da is here." Qixie glanced at him. She glanced at Qingwen, who was still looking around: "Why, you still want to follow me? How many times have I told you that the second master must let him have his temper? Don't be arrogant all the time. You are also sent by our ancestors." Come, otherwise you can stay outside this house for the rest of your life?"
Qingwen glanced at the other party but said nothing.
She came here halfway, and she was not very familiar with several of the precious maids in this house, let alone close friends.
Xiren and the other Qianxue who was kicked out last year are actually better, with a kind-hearted temperament, like Meiren, Sheyue, Qiuwen, Bihen and this one Qixie, but they don't have much to say, and more or less He was also a little wary of her, so the relationship became increasingly cold.
There are several little maids in this room, Qingwen talks more, but the little maid also has a circle with the other little maids, and it is rare for them to talk to each other, so after all, she is the only nondescript one left. He became a loner and lost his place in society.
Seeing that Qingwen didn't speak, Qi Xie curled her lips and turned around to go back to her own business. If Xiren's sister hadn't said that she still wanted to persuade Qingwen, she wouldn't have bothered to say more.
When Jia Baoyu came to Jia Mu's room, there was already a burst of joy inside. He almost ran into the room, and there was a burst of sweet whispers from this sister and that sister.
“Second brother!”
“Brother Bao.”
“Brother Bao.”
“Master Bao.”
“The second master is here.”
Everyone was greeting him and greeted him with smiles. This feeling was really beautiful. The previous bursts of touches and emotions under the emperor's list disappeared in an instant.
What will happen if Brother Feng passes the Jinshi examination?
Can I be as happy as myself?
Does he have so many sisters and sisters to accompany him in his naughtiness?
Thinking of this, Baoyu felt more and more happy and proud.
The most warm and approachable person is Sister Yun. We haven’t seen each other for a long time, so naturally she is very affectionate, greeting her, and then telling her what she has learned.
But in such a bustle, Baoyu didn't notice that several of his sisters were a little absent-minded. Even the ancestor was thoughtful, but he was still chattering to Sister Yun about all the things he had done in the house in the past six months. , and the reason why Sister Yun didn’t come to the house.
When the voices in the room slowly became quiet, Sister Yun's inappropriate question suddenly pulled Baoyu back from his endless joy: "Second brother, I heard that you and second brother Lian went to see the list? "
"Huh? Um, oh, yes..." The smile on the originally extremely happy face froze slightly.
"Then did the eldest brother of the Feng family pass the exam? There were too many people on the street when I came here. They were all crying, laughing, happy and sad. It seems that passing the Jinshi exam is so important to these scholars. I even I saw a scholar in his 40s and almost 50s there who was so happy that he kept shouting "Oh, I won". No one could stop him. It was so funny..."
Shi Xiangyun never thought that his problem would be like a backstab to his second brother.
Jia Mu’s color changed slightly.
Wang Xifeng was speechless. She met her husband-in-law on the road. She already knew that Feng Ziying was a Jinshi in high school, but she didn't mention it at all after coming in.
"Brother Feng passed the exam and won the Jinshi. It's really exciting." Baoyu felt that everyone's eyes were focused on his face. He tried his best to appear relaxed and comfortable, but his voice sounded particularly dry. .
