Jia Dairu generally told Jia She that Jia Cong was familiar with the four books and that everyone who entered the school should not waste time in the clan. He should ask a famous scholar of the time to teach as soon as possible, and take out Jia Cong's article "Baring the Dog" and interpret it to Jia She sentence by sentence.

Jia She's sleepiness suddenly disappeared and she was cheered up, but he couldn't understand the eight-legged essay without becoming a martial art. But he knew that his clan's uncle Jia Dairu was quite upright and would not deceive him. He was patient and pretended to understand. After thanking Jia Dairu, he discussed with Mrs. Xing for a few words, and Jia She decided to go to find her second brother Jia Zheng.

Why do you need to discuss with Jia Zheng? Because Jia Zheng is an official in the court. He was a member of the fifth-rank work department and must have known famous scholars and Jinshi. He Jia She has no real power and just drinks and has fun all day...

What is the relationship between this brother? It is generally neither good nor bad, just like Jia Lian and Jia Cong. We can see from one thing that Aunt Zhao and Ma Daopo cast magic to murder Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu in the Red Chamber. At that time, Jia Zheng thought that Jia Baoyu was helpless and had to prepare for the funeral, but Jia She was still busy and kept trying to find a way... Their brothers might have had some conflicts because of Jia Mu's different favors, but they were far from going to the death.

...

Jia Zheng has two study rooms, an inner study room and an outer study room. Except for when he was on duty at the Ministry of Works, he usually spent time in the outer study room "Mengpozhai" and talked about the classics, history, and collections of scholars with Qingke friends.

Mengpozhai is located in the west of Rongguo Mansion. After Tianshen, he came back on duty. Jia She took "Dog Barking" to Jia Zhengpin and explained his purpose.

In Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Zheng was appointed as the highest official in the education administration of a province. If it were placed in the Qing Dynasty system, this situation would never happen. Only those who were born in the Jinshi period must be qualified (see "Drafts of History of Qing Dynasty, Official Records III". If you have not even passed the imperial examination, how can you select students and juren? Jia Zheng's ability to be a poor student can only show one fact: he is actually proficient in eight-part essays. The emperor could not be so stupid that he regards education in a province as a joke.

"If the houses are falling, how can the dogs bark at each other? If it is not for thousands of rooms, why should the village be the four responses?... The final trunk echoes the whole title, well written!" Jia Zheng exclaimed and said, "Brother, Cong'er's article "Barriage" has already obtained the eight-legged samadhi. It is really not necessary to abandon the clan's studies, and the clan's uncle's teaching is limited."

"This is exactly what I mean by my brother." Jia She said: "Do you have a good choice?"

"I am on duty in the Ministry of Works Dushui Department. There is a person in the Ministry of Works Construction Department. He is an honest and upright official. He is a Jinshi. I will write a letter and my elder brother can take Cong'er to see him." Jia Zheng said with a secret.

"Oh? Who is it?"

"The Ministry of Works Kaishenlang, Qin Ye, Qin Langzhong is also the relative of Zhen Ge'er of the East Mansion, and his daughter is the Qin family of the East Mansion." Jia Zheng wrote a letter with a strong and meticulous look.

Jia She smiled and said, "It turned out to be a relative, so let Cong'er go to the East Mansion and then go to the Qin Mansion."

Yingshenlang is the "Director of the Yingshen Department". The work part is the Yingshen Department, the Dushui Department, the Military Field Department, and the Yuheng Department. In addition to the Shangshu and the Secretariat, the Langzhong is the top leader of the department and the fifth rank.

When Jia Zheng joined the department to study, he was in charge. He was a sixth-rank official and has now been promoted to Yuanwailang. From the fifth-rank official, Yuanwailang was the assistant official of the doctor, namely the second-rank official. Qin Ye was one level older than Jia Zheng.

However, the political future of Qin Ye and Jia Zheng is very obvious. Qin Ye is already in his sixties or seventies, and there is basically no hope of promotion. Jia Zheng is the age of being an official, a nobleman, and his daughter Jia Yuanchun enters the palace. The difference is too big.

Jia Zheng said seriously: "Cong'er is my brother's nephew and a rising star in the Jia family. If he achieves fame and honor in the imperial examination, his brother and Jia family will be honored. I hope my elder brother will be very happy to supervise you and should not slacken. Otherwise, if he will become a common person in the future, wouldn't he be regretful?"

This little brother always speaks so seriously and is very stern, and Jia She is used to it: "I can pay attention."

Jia Zheng looked at his brother's back and walked out of the study, feeling very uncomfortable. Back then, his eldest son Jia Zhu was also a talented person in the eight-part essay. After passing the county, government and college exams, he won the reputation of a student, commonly known as a scholar, and married Li Wan, the daughter of the former Imperial College Priest Li Shouzhong, who was a good family. Unexpectedly... he died of illness, alas... If Jia Cong was replaced by Baoyu...

Forget it, the old lady spoiled Baoyu, and he couldn't discipline too much... That evil, Jia Zheng was in a complicated mood, and he thought that the Yongding River in Shuntian Prefecture had flooded. Liangxiang, Gu'an and Yongqing counties were affected. Shuntian Prefecture Prefecture presented the book, and the emperor had ordered the Ministry of Works and the Dushui Department to take out the sturdy dam... The praise from the Qingke around him was faintly vague.

"Since the national style is fifteen, Lu Lingzhimei praised the strength of the East China Sea."

"Even three thousand diners, and dogs compete for heroes, they have escaped the dangers of Western Qin."

"Good sentences! Good sentences! Brother Jia Shi's article looks like a student." Zhan Guang, a single recruiter, Hu Silai and several Qing Gu's husbands, shook his head and read Jia Cong's "Baring in the Dog".

One day, Jia Cong wrote a qualified eight-legged essay, which was praised and praised by the great master and second master of Xueli. He was talented and had a reputation of nightmares, spreading it all over Rongguo Mansion again like a hurricane.

...

The mulberry trees in the courtyard began to sprout. Diagonally opposite the Feijiantang, the orange-yellow light of the sunset was like a slanting breeze and drizzle, and the green buds and tender leaves of the bamboo. It is said that bamboo shoots spring after the rain, and the bamboo shoots in the courtyard also began to break out of the ground. The shells of the bamboo shoots were covered with thick hair, just like they were wearing straw raincoats.

"Tsk!" A black piece fell on the chessboard, a stone pier, a stone table under the tree, and the patio next to the right, a wheel, a thick rope, and a wooden barrel were worn out. Jia Cong picked up a white piece and frowned and thought.

No one lived in this yard before, and if it was good, it wouldn't be his turn.

The opposite is Jia Lan. There was a turmoil between the four corners of Go and the "momentum" was gone. He only fought in the middle. Every time he had a son, he had to think about it for a long time. Jia Lan secretly looked at Jia Cong's expression and said seriously: "Uncle Cong, my mother asked my nephew to study with you. My mother said that my father was like Uncle Cong's scientific examination back then, and he forgot to eat and sleep."

"Okay, I won't get off... Have you ever seen your father? If it weren't for a talented person, it would be difficult to get into a scholar, with hanging beams and thorns, and there were countless people who returned in the imperial examinations in the imperial examinations. Have you ever seen "History of Ming Dynasty"? At that time, someone took the exams for ten major exams and only had a high school entrance examination every three years, which would be thirty years..."

Jia Cong touched Jia Lan's head: "You don't have to learn from me. Everyone has their own way. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones and learn and apply them well."

"I don't remember my father very much, well, I'll listen to Uncle Cong." Jia Lan nodded seriously.

Happy families are the same, and unfortunate families have their own misfortunes. Jia Cong looked at Jia Lan's appearance. Isn't this precocious puberty? In comparison, Jia Lan is also very lucky. Li Wan's monthly silver is very high, with four or five hundred taels a year, rich women. Moreover, Jia Lan's mother Li Wan is a person who can escape disasters, and she has nothing bad. However, in ancient times, if her husband dies, she is "unemployed". Jia Mu said that Li Wan is "wedish unemployed". Taking care of her husband and children is the career of her wife. In such a huge family, without the pillar of her father, Jia Lan's introversion and "quirky heart" are inevitable.

Men are superior to women, men's society, men's era? No, it is the era of superiors, powerful and rich gentry. There is a beauty in any era, but most of the beauty is either rich or powerful.

Chen Jiru of the late Ming Dynasty said: It’s not that you can’t have idle people, and idle people are not idle people. In Jia Cong’s opinion, what is implied is class.

The Ming Dynasty thinker Li Zhi, who used the convenience of the system, was it the worry of the times? Jia Cong chuckled and shook his head, nothing else, he thought too far.

...

Jia Lan asked him some methods of learning, but Jia Cong was not stingy. He believed that the methods explored by himself were the most precious. In that middle school, he only knew how to work hard, copy, memorize, and write. He did not let go of an English name "Bob". Later, he realized that he had half the effort with twice the effort. Understanding memory and systematic learning were the most suitable. These methods were also applicable to the Four Books and Five Classics. For example, Yu Dan spoke the Analects of Confucius, and could be classified into memory, the way of learning, the way of friends, and the way of being a human being... There is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid of those who are determined.

The reason for premature wisdom is like a time-travel bug, and naturally it is explained by "nightmare light". Jia Lan is envious of his "blessings". Zhang Ailing said that you should become famous as early as possible, and of course Jia Cong should become famous early. If you don't become famous early, the Jia family will be confiscated and the family will be exterminated. It should take four years to calculate the time for the imperial examination. I hope it will be too late.

After Jia Lan left, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun and Xue Baochai came over. Jia Baoyu was unhappy with him. He didn't come. Lin Daiyu was sick and said, "I can eat and take medicine." "I am arrogant and arrogant." She doesn't come here casually. Jia Xichun is still young and most of them are having fun with the smart child of Shuiyue's temple. Jia Cong personally served tea and welcomed him to the Bid Mirror Hall, and said with a smile: "The three sisters are expensive and cheap. Are you reporting good news? I don't listen to the bad news."

"He is so smart." Jia Yingchun turned around and smiled at the two girls, coughing lightly, "Brother Cong, the great master of Xueli, the second master praised you, saying that you are good at making art."

Eight-legged essays are also called time-class essays, art and righteousness.

Jia Tanchun said: "The eldest lady has received the news, so I am very happy. I will ask you for a girl in the old lady's room. Look, it's not so good to have a girl to serve you. Is it true that we always ask you to serve tea every time we come here? Sun Fu is just guarding the gate. Also, the eldest master and the second master asked you to become a disciple in a few days, saying that he was the father of Xiaorong, the eldest grandmother of the East Mansion, and the Qin Langzhong of the Ministry of Works."

Qin Keqing's father, Qin Ye and Jia Cong, thought secretly that Qin Ye would be a doctor in the department, and his literary skills would definitely be very good at this, but in this way, his nephew and daughter-in-law Qin Keqing became Senior Sister Qin? Oh, this relationship is in chaos.

Jia Yingchun gently pulled his sleeve and whispered: "The eldest lady doesn't know who she asked you for, just be willing to work hard. Madam, the master is satisfied, and sister is satisfied."

"Sister Bao, look, they are whispering to make people angry." Jia Tanchun pretended to be angry and raised his eyebrows.

Baochai picked up a ball of fans, just laughed and didn't say anything, so she wouldn't care about other people's house affairs.

"The third sister can also talk to Brother Huan." Jia Cong heard the footsteps outside: "Hey, which sister is here."

"I asked Ying'er to send some books here. In the past year, Shiwen from famous Jiangnan masters, I don't know if I can use it at this time. Shiwen and Shiwen always change from time to time, but it is also good to observe and observe, it is a routine." Xue Baochai explained and stood up.

Jia Cong came out to pick him up, Ying'er was very restrained and didn't come in. Jia Cong looked at Xue Baochai, rose-purple vest, onion yellow silk cotton skirt, round face, dignified and virtuous, Sister Bao was very good at being a human being, and he said, "Thank you."

The sound came from outside the door again, this time the sound was even louder, as if it was moving something. Xue Baochai gently waved the round fan and said with a smile: "The capable one works harder. This is a famous person, and good things come one after another."

Looking closely, he looked at it from a distance and saw a new girl, with a bun, a big red vest, a plain skirt, and his eyebrows were a bit like that of Lin Daimei. The three girls said at the same time: "What a beautiful girl!"
