Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 124 The feeling of being ignored
After passing the examination, you will be named Gongshi, which is actually a Jinshi. The palace examination is a personal performance of the emperor. As long as he does not violate taboos and does not commit suicide, the worst he can do is become a Jinshi.

Are there any cases of people committing suicide during the imperial examination? have no idea! (Does anyone have any case studies?)
When the newspaper arrived at full speed, Jia Mu could no longer control her tears! I was so excited that I almost danced.

Three newspapers came to convey the news. The first one rewarded five taels of silver, followed by three taels and two taels.

Of course the old man Jia She refused to give in. He led several generals, loaded a cart full of copper coins into a carriage, and scattered money along Rongning Street. The cheers there were loud, so he scattered a few more coins. Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion also followed the trend, took action personally, and also spread money.

The excitement this time was three points higher than that of the one who won the exam. Mother Jia gave an order to set up running water mats in Rongning Street for seven days.

Jia Mu looked around, but she couldn't see Jia Lian, and asked curiously: "Why don't you see your good grandson?"

Taking a closer look, not only Jia Lian was not there, but Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu were also not there. Only Jia Baoyu was pulling her sleeves, with clear eyes filled with stupidity.

The old lady felt a little unhappy in her heart. At this time, do you want outsiders to laugh?

Mrs. Xing didn't feel proud of Yourong, and even felt a little sad in her heart. Previously, Jia Lian and the people around him ran rampant in Dongkuayuan and did not take Mrs. Xing into consideration. I'm afraid I will be even more domineering in the future, and I feel like crying just thinking about it.

"Early in the morning, Brother Lian's brother Li Dong came to look for him and went out together." Mrs. kind of.

When Li Dong turned around, he reminded him: "Do you want to go back to the academy first?"

"Okay, it's almost done! I'm still waiting for you to go back home." Jia Lian reminded them, and the two of them separated, each turning his head to wipe his tears.

Why did Qiu Shian deliver oral instructions to Jia Lian alone? Wasn't Emperor Chenghui's hint strong enough? As long as Jia Lian doesn't act like a monster, he will be a successful Jinshi. It's strange that the second room, which has had the upper hand for a long time, feels comfortable.

Jia Lian held the wine glass in her hand, her thoughts flying to nowhere. To outsiders, there are only two words: "calm".

It's really the kind of thing where once Jia Lian is failed by the examiner, Qiu Shi'an can dig out Jia Lian's paper and force the examiner to pass.

After the Qingyun Academy incident, only one of the nobles in charge of the heavily armed group at this stage is Wang Ziteng. The attitudes of the four major families are extremely important.

Don't simply understand it as the emperor's appreciation of Jia Lian, but combine the pull of the current two generations of emperors.

I don’t know if God is deliberately punishing me. In this examination, no less than a hundred people from Qingyun Academy participated in the examination. Only the three high school students in front of me failed.

The person involved, Jia Lian, was speechlessly watching his adopted brothers Li Dong and Lin Ping hugging each other and crying. Others were beaming with joy after high school. These two brothers could be described as negative examples. It's understandable that Lin Ping cried bitterly. After all, he was in last place and almost fell out. Li Dong started crying. Could it be that he was feeling so good? You are still ranked tenth after all.

Only then did Jia Mu give up. Forget it about such a big happy event, she wouldn't be angry anymore.

The one who suffered the most was naturally Mrs. Wang. She had no choice but to stay and face it. If the men in the family don't live up to expectations, what can they do?

In this meeting, Jia Lian was highly regarded by the emperor, and the people in Jia's family felt like Ming Jing.

When she saw Mrs. Wang bowing her head and saying nothing, Jia Mu felt a little angry again. She held back her displeasure and asked, "Why don't you see Zheng'er and the eldest grandson?"

"The master had a banquet with a group of guests until early in the morning last night, and he is still hungover. Zhuer went out with her classmates yesterday and sent someone to deliver a message. Today she is out looking at the results." Mrs. Wang felt nauseous and could only endure the discomfort and answered cautiously.

Li Dong sighed quietly after hearing this. For Lin Ping, the academy did not have many good memories.

Without waiting for Jia Lian to answer, Lin Ping took over: "It's better to go home first. I really don't want to go back to the academy."

[When I was selected for poverty alleviation, if I had been more proactive, I might have been able to get along well. 】

Starting from Li Dong, Jia Lian consciously gathered a group of people around him. Classmates are undoubtedly the best choice.

Jia Lian, who did not have a mental disorder, did not reject Lin Ping, who was able to continue the imperial examination after experiencing a disaster.

Jia Lian, who was born into a wealthy family, can understand but cannot empathize at this moment. In modern society, Jia Lian also graduated from a key university and passed the public examination in one go. Apart from his unsatisfactory official career, he has never experienced a life of hardship.

Jia Mu was also patient, because she knew that the father and son did this on purpose.

"Then let's break up. It's better to go back and spend time with your family now." Jia Lian stood up and left. Well, it's time to go back and show off his power.

When Jia Lian goes home, he usually doesn't go through Rongning Street, but directly through the gate on the east side of the courtyard.

Today, Jia Lian's carriage appeared on Rongning Street. The street was very lively at the moment. All the neighbors were in action, setting up tables and benches, building earthen stoves, and carrying firewood. Women were not afraid to show their faces and participated in the preparation of washing vegetables.

There were also scraps of firecrackers on the ground. Jia Lian could think of the scene at that time. When Jia She approached, he quickly lit the firecrackers to get an extra reward. Jia Lian was deeply worried about this. From now on, Jia She's chin might not be able to return to a horizontal position.

I won the Jinshi Scholarship, and you follow me with pride and pride. What a loss!

"Second Master Lian, wait a moment." A horseman flew over and stopped Jia Lian's carriage.

The chubby Xu Tuiguan got off the horse. When Jia Lian saw this, he got out of the car out of curiosity and saluted: "Master Xu, where is this coming from? Haha, I have been promoted. Jia Lian is late to celebrate, please don't blame me."

Xu Tuiguan changed his official uniform and is now a general judge. Thinking about it makes me cry. Shuntian Mansion sentenced six people. There were so many Shangguan at the time, but none of them were outstanding, so he was pushed out by himself. This is the sadness of not having a backstage.

It's different with the backstage. The previous pass on the same line was dismissed because of the crime of entering the door with the left foot first. Xu Tuiguan took advantage of the situation, and Lord Fu Yin even specially congratulated Xu Tongpan.

"Xin Yang apologizes. It's really urgent. Come along quickly." Xu Tongpan didn't dare to act like an official, so he pulled Jia Lian and was about to leave. Since it was an emergency, it was not appropriate to ride in a carriage, so he quickly asked his general to fetch a horse. Jia Lian also practiced when he had time. Running quickly was not possible, but trotting was fine.

The two of them walked back and forth, followed by eight generals behind them. These were all arranged by Jia Mu. As long as Jia Lian went out, at least eight generals would follow him, and even if he lost a hair, his legs would have to be broken for protection.

Half an hour later, outside the gate of [Qingyin Courtyard], Xu Xinyang got off the horse. Jia Lian rubbed his legs after getting off the horse. He was really not used to riding a horse and needed more practice. Otherwise, when I go out to serve as an official in the future, I won’t be able to ride a horse, which will delay things too much. If you are unlucky enough to be sent to the northwest as an official, you will not be able to escape even if you encounter horse thieves without knowing how to ride a horse. I saw the government officials guarding the door, and then I heard people making loud noises and the sound of objects being smashed inside.

Jia Lian was obviously stunned, because Hua Hua Sheng was a bit familiar.

"This?" Jia Lian stopped, and Xu Tongpuan looked bitter: "Go in and persuade. The censors who patrol the city have run away, and no one dares to take care of Shuntian Mansion. The official is still too young, and he is pushed away by others. I can only admit it when I come out."

For the first time, Jia Lian saw what Xungui's domineering attitude meant!
With a sigh, he crossed the threshold and entered the courtyard. He saw Jia Zhu standing under the eaves of the main hall. Several servants were beating them. Several women and servants of the master's family were kneeling on the ground. A woman was still beating beg for mercy.

Several government officials from Shuntian Mansion just stood aside and watched, never coming within ten steps.

Seeing Jia Lian come in, Jia Zhu, who was pale and had sunken eyes, suddenly panicked, and several friends around him also hid behind.

Jia Lian didn't even look at Jia Zhu and others, but rushed to the general behind him and said: "Go, take these troublemakers and send them to Shuntian Mansion for a month before releasing them."

Several servants of the Jia family immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Second Master, please spare my life. I am also following orders."

Jia Lian regarded Jia Zhu as nothing and said to the servants who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy: "My master made a mistake, and you just don't stop him or even help him do evil. Where does the Jia family's face go?"

These words sounded like he was scolding the servants, but in fact they were talking about Jia Zhu. In the past, Jia Zhu would naturally not give up. Now, after hearing this, Jia Zhu's blood surged for a moment, but she had no courage to resist. She couldn't vent her anger, her vision went dark, and she fell on her back.

Several people around him hurriedly supported him. They were all failed students of the Imperial College. At this moment, they secretly cheered for Jia Zhu for his acting skills.

When they saw blood bleeding from the corner of Jia Zhu's mouth, these people panicked and shouted: "I'm vomiting blood, I'm vomiting blood."

Jia Lian was shocked after hearing this, and quickly stepped forward to take a look, but saw Jia Zhu falling to the ground and turning blue, which was not a good situation.

"Come here, send him to the hospital quickly." Xu Xinyang was more decisive than anyone else. If someone had a problem, he would have to die.

The few classmates accompanying Jia Zhu didn't even bother to greet Jia Lian, and scrambled to get him into a carriage and take him to the hospital. Jia Lian specially sent a family general to follow him, and everyone was sent away. Only then did he look back at his master, who was still kneeling and not daring to get up.

These owners of skin and flesh trade often have backers behind them. What happened today must have happened for a reason. Jia Lian didn't intend to just pass it by in a daze. Who knows if it was for him?
"Tell me, who is the backstage of this company, and why did Jia Zhu have an attack?" Jia Lian seemed calm, but his tone was terrifyingly cold.

Xu Xinyang made an excuse to escort the servants, so he left quickly. He couldn't watch the excitement, or he would be in trouble.

"Replying to this master, I really don't blame this slave. I make a living by laughing. How dare I offend Uncle Zhu? Years ago, Miss Feiyan begged Uncle Zhu to redeem her body. Isn't it because Uncle Zhu couldn't get the money? She caught up with other favors. As soon as the guest paid the money, Miss Feiyan followed. Uncle Zhu came over, but the servant did not dare to say anything openly, so she could only find excuses to delay her. She didn't want Uncle Zhu to know about it, so she started to make trouble and said nothing. Give him face, it costs money to raise a girl, so you can’t just give it to Uncle Zhu for nothing, right?”

While Jia Lian was listening, he carefully observed the madam's expression. When he saw her eyes dodge, he thought to himself, "It's probably a ghost." 】

"Do you think that because I, a new member of the military service, want to save my face, I dare not smash your henhouse?" Jia Lian's face was so cold that it could freeze, and his tone was even more sinister and cold. The old bustard on the ground was frightened. His neck tightened and he sneezed several times.

"This slave is really not cheating. It's really that Uncle Zhu wants to take me away and only pays five taels of silver. Feiyan is the number one in Qingyin's class. Even if the master offers five hundred taels of silver, he is reluctant to sell her." The old madam grabbed the ground with her head. , dong dong dong, he kept explaining.

Jia Lian knew that today's situation was not right, and it was difficult to ask the question. It was really not good-looking to make such a fuss.

"Okay, I'll let you go today." After saying that, Jia Lian turned around and told Xiao An: "You stay and calculate the losses. You can't lose any of the big guys who should pay, and you can't do it without it. Remember?"

Xiao An knew the importance and replied with a serious face: "I remember it, little one. Don't worry, second master, there will be no mistakes in the safekeeping."

Jia Lian looked back at the madam: "Listen, as long as someone in the capital hears about Qingyin Xiaoban and Jia Zhu, you can find a place to hang yourself, lest I get my hands dirty and bury you alive."

The madam was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, a pool of liquid overflowed from under her skirt, but she couldn't even make a sound of begging for mercy, just ahhhhh.

In the capital, if you are not ruthless, you will not be able to stand.

Jia Lian didn't care about the life or death of this old bustard, and sneered: "Remember, you can't seek death, you have to live. If you really die, I don't care about the king's laws or not. Who looks like the mastermind behind the scenes? I will fight to the death with whomever I want. At that time, it won’t matter whether there is evidence or not, it all depends on who I suspect at the time.”

What should be said and what should not be said, Jia Lian said clearly in front of several people, then clapped his hands and said hello: "It's really bad luck to leave." Several family generals hurriedly followed up. What happened today, no matter what happened, It was impossible for the news to spread. The meaning of Jia Lian's words was obvious. It was inevitable that the matter would spread, depending on the direction in which it developed.

The madam didn't understand and was so frightened that she was scared to death. This was because Jia Lian was deliberately trying to scare her. He was so bold that he dared to plot against the Jia family.

As long as the madam can get the word out, someone will naturally suppress public opinion. Unless the man behind the scenes dares to take the risk of antagonizing the nobles of the capital, kill the bustard directly, and then add fuel to the flames. In this case, Jia Lian still thinks highly of him and feels that the mastermind behind the scenes is a man, instead of just doing small tricks like now.

The doctor at Renji Hall was very skilled, and Jia Zhu woke up as soon as the needle was inserted.

When Jia Lian arrived, Jia Zhu could already lie down and drink medicine. Just when Jia Zhu didn't know how to face it, Jia Lian didn't come in. He stood outside and told Chang Sui a few words before leaving.

Jia Lian's meaning was very clear. Nothing happened. Jia Zhu fell ill because she caught a cold. How to explain to Jia Zheng when she went back was Jia Zhu's business. Jia Lian had done everything she could. Whether the face of the Jia family is thrown to the ground and trampled on is something that Jia Zhu should be responsible for.

After Jia Zheng woke up after a night of hangover, he seemed particularly irritable. When he learned that Jia Zhu had not returned home all night, he was even more angry and threw the tea cup.

When the servants came to report that Jia Zhu was back, the one who was carried back was even more angry.

"Bring that scoundrel here, I want to see what he did outside?"

The matter must not be hidden. After all, four servants were taken away by Shuntian Mansion. Jia Lian meant that they would be detained for a month or even a day less. Jia Zheng soon learned the general story of what happened. He learned that Qingyin Xiaoban reported to the police and alerted the Shuntian Mansion. Although it was just a servant who took the blame afterwards, it was definitely not a good thing.

The key point is that Jia Lian did not come to explain what happened in person, but went directly to kowtow to Jia Mu, and then was taken away by Jia She and Jia Zhen, and went to the ancestral hall to pay homage to his ancestors.

After tasting it carefully, Jia Zheng realized the word "ignore".
