Since you want to choose the imperial examination, you no longer live in a daze like the original Jia Cong and wait for death. In feudal society, you must use the identity of the original owner, and not everyone can participate in the imperial examination. First of all, you cannot be a pariah, secondly, you must be innocent in your family, and finally, you must look at your face!

The trend of looking at faces is not a modern patent, it has existed since ancient times.

People who have poor appearances are very dangerous in ancient times and are very likely to be wiped out, because in ancient times, officials also paid attention to "majesty" and had "official authority". The national face is the most suitable.

So, how can the original owner’s identity and conditions be discarded?

Taking advantage of all the conditions that can be used, in this way, it is not advisable to make enemies on all sides in the Jia clan. This is Jia Cong's temporary idea. Although the plan has not changed quickly, his growth in that lifetime made him accustomed to planning, goals, and if a person has no dreams, what is the difference between it and a salted fish?

...

The architectural layout of Rongguo Mansion is divided into three roads on the left, middle and right. The middle road is the gate, outer yimen gate, south hall, inner yimen gate, Rongxi Hall, left road is the hanging flower gate, through hall, flower hall, Jia Mu's upper room, downward hall, Fengjie Courtyard, and the black oil gate on the right road is Jia Sheyuan. The main room is within the three-story Yimen Gate, which is small and unique. To the east of Rongxi Hall, there is the east courtyard, which is the courtyard of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.

From the perspective of pattern and scale, Rongguo Mansion is very close to the residences of the princes and princes in the Qing Dynasty. Many things in this era are similar to the Qing Dynasty, but they are not the Qing Dynasty, and there is no "shave your hair and change your customs".

Jia Mu's Flower Hall is built next to a small garden, surrounded by lakes and stones. It is a leisure place for people to drink and feast and watch dramas. When you get into the sedan chair and enter the seat, Jia Cong found a remote corner and sat at a table with Jia Huan, Jia Lan and others.

During the Lantern Festival, the stage opposite was singing opera, which was a "Full of Stoves", but it was replaced by Henan opera, not Qin Opera. Jia Mu was happy to watch it in the chief. She liked lively, festive occasions, lively and festive dramas. This drama was just right, and she didn't notice Jia Cong.

"Brother Cong, why are you here?" Jia Huan, who was sitting next to him, looked at people with a slanted angle.

Wearing a hat and dressing in a slanted manner is definitely not a good thing.

Jia Cong said: "It was the master who asked me to come here. Didn't Brother Huan come here too?"

Jia Cong is older than Jia Lan and younger than Jia Huan. According to that memory, he is actually the same age as Jia Huan, and is several months younger.

Jia Huan had no contact and ate without hesitation. He couldn't tell how much "everyone" was incubated. Jia Huan and Baochai's girl Ying'er played dominoes, and they were both scattered and cried. Jia Lan died of her father Jia Zhu since she was a child. She was introverted and only called "Uncle Cong" and watched the show quietly.

These are Jia Cong’s two best playmates, except Jia Yingchun.

"My nephew, daughter-in-law, Jing Cong, a glass." Facing the same table, there was a man and a woman sitting peacefully. The man was handsome and beautiful. The beautiful woman gracefully picked up the purple clay pot, poured a glass of wine into the sandalwood cup, and then stood up and handed it over with her hands.

The clouds are majestic, the eyebrows are clever, the red lips are bright on the outside, the white teeth are fresh on the inside, the bright eyes are kind, the cheeks are strong, the magnificent posture is elegant, and the body is quiet.

Hearing that she called herself "nephewives and daughter-in-law" and looking at her appearance and temperament, Jia Cong knew that she was Qin Keqing, so he stood up and took it, and drank it all with a smile. The wine was not high. Another handsome boy, Jia Rong, also poured him a glass.

The generations of the Jia clan, from high to low, are the water generation, the dynasty generation, the vernasty generation, the yu generation, the chaotic generation, the chaotic generation, the chaotic generation, the chaotic generation, the chaotic generation, the chaotic generation, the Jia Cong generation, the yu generation, and the Jia Rong and Qin Keqing all call him uncle. In the big family, it is very common to have a small age and a high generation.

Jia Cong browsed a few glances and went up to several banquets. Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Jia Zhen, You Shi, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Sanchun, and Jia Baoyu were all there. It was so lively, no one spoke loudly, and they were whispering and whispering.

Wang Xifeng came over to pull Qin Keqing over and said that his ancestors wanted her to serve her. Qin Keqing won the favor of the Jia family, so she passed by. At the end of the table, there were only a few inconspicuous men left, and the banquet became the same seat for men and women.

Jia Cong observed carefully and saw that several people had moved their chopsticks, but he moved his chopsticks. At a young age, the food here is the best, so hurry up and replenish your nutrition.

The "Full of the Shrine" on the stage tells the story of Guo Ziyi, a Tang Dynasty starting his military achievements, a family of children and grandchildren, and a large number of descendants. One of the descendants even married a princess and was extremely prominent. Yunnan Opera, Henan Opera, Jin Opera, Sichuan Opera, and Hebei Bangzi's "Fare the Golden Branch" was transformed from "Full of the Shrine".

Jia Cong thought: "How similar is this drama to the current situation of the Jia family? But there are probably not many of these people, and we can imagine that the decline of the Jia family will not be far away."

...

After singing a few operas, Jia Mu smiled happily and couldn't stop talking. She wore her eyebrows and eyebrows inlaid with jade, and her body became fat. She leaned on a chair with her head. Her big girl Yuanyang carefully laid the foundation for the chair. Jia Mu hugged Lin Daiyu with one hand and Jia Baoyu with the other.

Wang Xifeng was making jokes around from time to time, and Jia Tanchun, Qin Keqing and others were also very good at catering to each other. Jia Mu always laughed, and she was very happy to see her children and grandchildren reunite.

Jia Mu looked around and saw the last few people at the seat, nodded and said, "Huan'er, Cong'er, Lan'er, Rong'er, are all here? OK! OK! It's just lively!"

Jia Rong secretly glanced at her father Jia Zhen, and her mother You Shi, and quickly stood up and winked at her deskmates, but found that Jia Cong was the first to walk over. Jia Rong was stunned for a moment and followed her. Jia Huan curled her lips, while Jia Lan was quiet.

Yuanyang and Amber came to the bed with a mat, and the four of them knelt down: "Please pay tribute to our ancestors."

Jia Mu's smile spread from the corner of her mouth to her eyes that were narrowed into slits. Although she was an old man, she married from the Shi family's marquis in her early years and started as a great-grandson wife. After that, she also had a great-grandson wife. She had decades of experience in wealthy families and enjoyed happiness in her later years. There were not many wrinkles on her smiling face and her teeth were still white. She asked them to get up.

Jia She said: "Mother, take advantage of the excitement, you might as well take the exam for the primary school of your grandchildren, otherwise you will be free to go to school, and your son will help them to ask for a prize from your mother. My incompetent son Jia Cong has been making progress recently."

After his words fell, Jia Mu looked at Jia Cong, Jia Huan and a few more, then looked at Jia Baoyu in her arms, and frowned.

Jia Cong, Jia Huan and other young people who had never married married all studied in the clan and were taught by Jia Dairu. However, it is the first month of the year and the New Year is the year of study, so they stay at home. Jia Baoyu is different. Jia Mu is favored by him, so he can do it or not. Therefore, there is a rule that women in the boudoir cannot do needlework in the first month of the year. The rules of feudal society are enough.

After a word fell, some people around him came over, some were not concerned about others and asked someone to talk. Jia Mu shook her head and asked, "Why is your son motivated? Come and coax me again! I'm watching Chengri's family, that's not the case."

"It should be an opportunity from heaven. Baoyu was born with a 'spiritual jade'. Cong'er also had his blessings. He fell ill and woke up from his dream. He thought about it. His son was about to hire a teacher for him." Jia She explained.

He was so serious about his affairs, Wang Xifeng, who was begging Jia Mu, suddenly had a meaningful smell in his eyes, and he looked at her brother-in-law for the first time.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang also cast a scrutiny look at Jia Cong. The crowd became quiet at this time, and Jia Cong became the focus.

Jia Mu's expression became curious and asked Jia Cong: "What dream? Let me say."

Jia She looked over, Jia Cong stood up and replied, "Nan Kemeng."

Lin Daiyu in Jia Mu's arms raised her pink handkerchief and smiled. Jia Baoyu asked her quietly what she was laughing at. Lin Daiyu snorted: "I don't laugh at me, but I just saw Brother Cong's appearance. She was old and some people were older than him, but she was white."

Others couldn't hear it, but Jia Mu heard it, and felt more and more displeased, saying, "Is it Tang Xianzu's "Nan Ke Meng"? This dream is inauspicious!"

Jia Mu is proficient in opera. When talking about "The Jade Hairpin" and "The Continuing the Pipa", Aunt Xue said she had never heard of it. This is someone else's experience.

"What my ancestors said is, but Cong'er had another idea. After his grandson got sick, he entered his dream and dreamed that he had become Chunyu Fen and was appointed as the prefect of Nanke. He was appointed as the left prime minister for military merits and married the princess as his wife. He was prominent in the dynasty, but because of his arrogance and extravagance, he was squandered and did not know how to be the head of the family. Some people in the family bullyed others and bullied the weak and committed many cases, which eventually caused internal and external troubles. The family was destroyed, but it was a big dream."

Jia Cong thought of his life experience, and couldn't help but sigh and said carefully: "My grandson thinks that although this dream is absurd and unlucky, it is useful to alert the world. Because it was a grandson who dreamed of it personally, the experience cannot be expressed in words and can penetrate people's hearts. Therefore, after waking up, I think that studying hard is the right thing to do, and that cannot follow Chunyu Fen's footsteps, so that my father's words will be said."

Grandmother Jia raised her face and said nothing.

Jia Zhen didn't like Jia Cong's words very much, and Youshi smiled at him and said, "What a smart child."

Qin Keqing also pondered and said nothing, Jia Tanchun was the same. Xue Baochai thought to herself: "Is this Jia Cong intentional or unintentional? His age should be unintentional." Then she thought, bullying the weak and bullying others with power? Xue Pan beat Feng Yuan to death for the maid Xiangling in Jinling. There was nothing wrong with a murder case. Is this talking about her brother Xue Pan?

Jia She was very happy. His son said it well. He didn't think that he and Chunyu Fen's descendants had similarities. People were like this. They could still make fair judgments about matters that had nothing to do with themselves. Once they were involved, they might not be the case.

Jia Zheng interrogated: "Mother and son also agree with Cong'er, and his words make some sense."

Jia Zheng, whose courtesy name is Cunzhou, although Jia Cunzhou is not capable of doing things, he can feel the crisis from Daiyu's riddles.

Jia Cong thought: "Jia Baoyu was born with a spiritual jade. This era is superstitious. Wang Xifeng seems to be unbelieving gods and ghosts. Her daughter is sick. She still called Caiming to read "The Jade Box Record" and send the flower god. Compared to my words, it is really small to see the big witch. It seems that they don't have much doubt. If you want to study and take the exam outside, then in the family, you must have a firm foothold. It is second to gain Jia She's trust. The key is this old man who is a wise man!"

Jia Mu seemed to be moved and did not scold her. Jia Zheng suggested that he ask a question. Jia Mu nodded thoughtfully. Jia Zheng stroked his beard elegantly and elegantly, like a Taoist master, and said, "Cong'er, brother said that you have made great progress in your talent and thought that you have already read the elementary school. Have you read the "Analects of Confucius"?"

Jia Xichun is the youngest. When she saw her second sister Jia Yingchun was a little nervous and giggled.

Although Wang Xifeng recognized a few words, her talent and cultural literacy were far less than Dai, Chai, and Sanchun. For her who liked to show off and show off her mightyness, the sudden change of this brother-in-law was something she didn't want to see, but her face was also bright and her thoughts were not written on her face. At this time, Wang Xifeng thought: "Huan'er and Cong'er were born for several generations, and she was born to a son and could not be on the high platform!"

It is not the same thing to read and understand. You must not only remember it, but also use it flexibly. The title of the eight-legged essay is extremely harsh and tricky, especially when writing the topics. Not to mention the Five Classics, the Four Books must be memorized, otherwise you will not be able to solve the topic.
