The Jia family is a prominent family that has been prosperous for a hundred years. There are two generations of Dukes in the Western Prefecture. After such a long time, it is inevitable that they will be arrogant, extravagant and debauchery. The vastness of the emperor's grace can easily make the noble families lose their vigilance.

Although the entire society regards it as a glory and is inferior to everything, only by studying high, if one is a Jinshi, the family can rise instantly. This situation is almost impossible. Those who are newly rated Jinshi will be admitted to the Hanlin Academy, and others will either send local officials or stay in Beijing to serve as small officials.

Whether it is a court official or a concubine in the harem, the most powerful killer to protect himself is nothing more than the emperor's favor, and Jia Cong is still a tribute scholar now.

But Jia Cong now has an opportunity to face the emperor directly. Jia Mu watched him come over coldly. No one knew what step Jia Cong could take. I am afraid Jia Cong himself did not know that the court was full of unknowns. A political speculator may become a prosperous person. To be honest, it is very likely that the emperor would be cut off his post for the people, or to be exiled to the extreme, and he would die without a place to die. For example, when Donglin Zhao Nanxing was assessed by the Ministry of Personnel, he was selfless and selfless. As a result, he was cut off his post for the people by Wanli.

Therefore, compared with the Jinshi officials who walk on thin ice and eat the nobles who die, it is the safest. This is also one of the reasons why Jia Mu looks down on Jia Cong. If it were the uncle Jia Baoyu, it would be a different matter.

Of course, one cannot say that one word is dead. It does not mean that the origin of a Jinshi is useless. It mainly depends on the individual's ability and style of conduct. This ability is not the ability to serve the country and the people, but the ability to deal with superiors and subordinates, various yamen, and emperors can be said to be the art of bureaucracy.

And Jia Cong doesn't seem to be out of business, at least, there is hope for Jinshi.

"Okay, this is the glory of the family. The scholars, juren, tributes, all included in the genealogy. Brother Qiang will handle this matter. Cong'er, you go down to prepare for the palace examination. We are all looking forward to the palace examination." Jia Mu leaned on the pillow and leaned forward slightly, looking at Baoyu, the ancestor's face changed constantly.

"Yes, my ancestor." Jia Cong said he was leaving, Jia Baoyu curled his lips and disdained him, and Sanchun Daichai came out to congratulate him.

Outside the Chuhua Gate on the West Road, it was late spring in Bingzi, and Xue Baochai's eyes were full of charm: "If you pass the first three in the palace examination, you will definitely be able to be the best of the Supreme Master of Nine Five. Moreover, you don't have to take the next exam to get the first place, and you will be awarded the official position directly, Hanlin, Naiqing."

"Sister Bao, stop talking, let's see what Master Gongshi looks like..." Jia Xichun gestured to Jia Cong's body and kept looking at him.

Jia Yingchun said: "Go to see the master and his wife quickly."

Jia Cong replied and thanked the West Cross Courtyard. Jia Tanchun said, "This is how men should make achievements."

...

When Jia Cong arrived at the East Cluster Courtyard, he saw the servants sent by the government office. He led a few wooden craftsmen to measure the foundation on the east side of the Hei Oil Gate. They all praised their congratulations. Jia Cong smiled and replied to the central axis to the Waiyi Gate. Wang Shanbao's family said, "Mrs. I've said that I'll go back to prepare for the exam by myself. I'll just talk about what I lack."

"Trouble." Jia Cong saw that Wang Shanbao's family was pleasing, and faced with the mistress's room, his children must be respectful, not domineering, and not call him by name directly. Wang Shanbao's family and Qingwen were not in the way, but it was not far from the search of the Grand View Garden. At that time, Wang Shanbao's family had made a fool of himself and had no face to stay for a long time. At this time, Qingwen had made a living room with her, so there was no need to worry about her.

When he returned to the study room of the middle road, Xiangling sorted out the letter, Kuang Liuhe failed, Wang Yinglin and Zhang Maocai won, Wang Yinglin could not see any grudges about Qian Xihong's incident. Even if there was, he knew how to choose. In the future, there would be no feelings. The strange thing is that the Sima Biejian of Fangshan County was like a chicken blood, and rushed to the end of the test list.

Because Qingwen was not very interested in poetry and books, and was busy with Jia Cong's clothing and needlework. Now, Qingwen had to sew what Jia Cong wore, so she grinded ink and spread paper. After Jia Cong replied one by one, she found that there were two letters under the bottom, one by Yu Biao. This person was ranked among the thousands of households under the command of the left governor of the Jinyiwei, and one by Luo Ren, the chief official of Prince Yu's mansion. Jia Cong was not careless and replied to him and greeted him.

Although the chief official and chief official of the royal palace are ranked third, they are mostly out of no way out if they do not participate in the official assessment. For example, in order to please Zhang Juzheng, someone arranged an official into the chief official of the royal palace and finally drove him out directly. These people just pulled the prince's banner, so Jia Cong was not so afraid of Cheng, the chief official of Prince Zhongshun's mansion, and sooner or later drove him out of the court.

Luo Min, the minister of the official department, and Wei Wuzhi, the Hanlin Academy, clearly would not let him have a good life.

The faction in Jiangnan is also very profound in its own opinions, but Jia Cong remained afraid and vigilant, and wanted to enter the court to compete impatiently.

This kind of timid life has been enough!

At that time, if you have grudges and revenge, you will not be able to escape!

Of course, we have to calm down now, let’s talk about it after the palace examination!

"Which day is the palace examination?" Xiangling asked.

"On April 21st, I will not take the Four Books and Five Classics, but only the current affairs and policy discussions." Jia Cong rubbed Xiangling's hand and said, "Come on, sit here."

Xiangling shuddered for a moment, sat shoulder to shoulder, panic as if her hands were nowhere to be placed. Jia Cong curiously touched the rouge mole on her eyebrows. Xiangling did not dare to push her hands and whispered: "Sister Qingwen is outside, let alone, it's still daytime now..."

Jia Cong coughed dryly, and talked with Xiangling seriously. He hugged her and placed her sideways on his knees. He touched his chest from his waist. Xiangling was born in a wealthy family. After being taken away by human traffickers, he also trained carefully and was soft everywhere. Jia Cong couldn't bear to let go: "When I come back from the exam in April, I won't delay you. You have a good character and you should be able to get along with Qingwen..."

Xiangling hooked Jia Cong's neck with both hands, raised her head slightly shyly, and responded softly. She probably had already surrendered to fate. Jia Cong said: "I know where your home is, outside the Suzhou Changmen, but unfortunately it was burned by a fire. Jia Xing, the girl you played with when you were a child, has now become the wife of the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture... Your identities have come to exchange, and the world is a mess."

"I don't remember." Xiangling felt a little moved, "How did you know?"

Jia Cong did not answer and taught her how to kiss her. She spoke in a while. Xiangling kept reminding her to close the door. Jia Cong was so hot that she almost solved it in this position. Suddenly, the sunlight at the door dimmed, but Ping'er and the two daughters of Mandarin duck came together.

"Sit down, please sit down." Jia Cong greeted him as if nothing had happened, and Xiangling ran away in panic and secretly joy.

Ping'er was speechless, but Jia Lian also liked to do it in broad daylight. She was not surprised by the people who had experienced it. Yuanyang was a virgin, blushing and bleeding, and spat secretly: "Bah, how can Mr. Cong... how can this be...?"
