Chapter 9 Red Mansion 7
Because the county examination will be held in February, Jia Hu and Liu Heng were in a hurry along the way.
After arriving at the destination, I only had to adapt for two days before entering the examination room.
The county examination was very easy for Jia Hu and Liu Heng. Both of them successfully got the top spot in the county examination.
The two did not return to Beijing. They were waiting for the prefectural examination in April and the college examination in August in their hometown.
Jia Hu's husband was a disciple of his maternal ancestor, Taishi Zhang, and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
For the sake of his mentor, he accepted Jia Hu as his disciple and taught him carefully.
Jia Hu’s knowledge is very solid.
Even Liu Heng also benefited a lot.
Therefore, both of them passed the government examination and the college examination smoothly.
Jia Hu also passed Xiao Sanyuan.
When the news came back to the capital, the people in Rongguo Mansion were so happy that they set off firecrackers on Ningrong Street for three days.
Jia Daishan was in high spirits during happy events, and could even ride into the palace to chat with the emperor.
Just as the fourth prince was accompanying the emperor to help handle government affairs, he heard Jia Daishan show off his grandson and remembered the name Jia Hu in his heart.
The Provincial Examination will not be held until next year. Jia Hu and Liu Tiao decided to return to the capital first and then return to Jiangnan to participate in the Provincial Examination.
The two made an appointment to meet in Hangzhou, first visit the West Lake where "heavy makeup and light makeup are always suitable", and then go to Yangzhou to visit Jia Hu's aunt Jia Min and uncle Lin Ruhai.
Liu Heng is very curious about Sister Lin and wants to see if this is the real reincarnation of Fairy Jiangzhu and what is so strange about her.
After visiting Hangzhou, the two came to Yangzhou.
Jia Min was very excited when she received the news that her nephew was coming. She sent someone to the port early every day to see if the person had arrived.
After three days, Jia Hu and Liu Tiao finally arrived in Yangzhou.
The servants of the Lin family breathed a sigh of relief when they finally received the person, and quickly took them back to the Lin Mansion.
The two of them came to Jia Min's yard together. As the outside man, Liu Heng should not have entered the inner yard.
But Jia Min said that Liu Heng was a junior from a well-known family and there was no need to be polite, so he let Liu Heng enter the courtyard.
As the biological mother of Fairy Jiangzhu, Jia Min is very beautiful.
However, his mental outlook is very poor, his body is weak, and he has visible fatigue, which has reduced his beauty by at least 30%.
Liu Heng's eyes fell on Jia Min's slightly bulging belly. She was pregnant.
He turned his attention to the little girl next to Jia Min.
The little girl is only two or three years old. She is thin and small and looks very weak.
However, her facial features are exquisite. When she grows up, she will be more beautiful than her mother.
This should be Lin Daiyu.
Jia Hu and Liu Heng saluted Jia Min together.
“I’ve met my aunt.”
“I’ve met Mrs. Lin.”
Jia Min said happily, “No need to be polite, no need to be polite.”
< br>She first asked the two of them to sit down, exchanged a few polite greetings with Liu Hao, and then invited Jia Hu to come forward and talk.
When the two aunts and nephews talked about the affairs of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Min couldn't help but shed tears when she thought of her parents and brothers.
Jia Hu quickly comforted Jia Min.
Liu Hiiragi pretended to drink tea, lowering his head and not looking at anything else.
Jia Min quickly held back her tears and glanced over at Liu Heng. When she saw Liu Heng lowering his head, he praised in his heart that he was worthy of being a good friend of Jia Hu.
Jia Min: "You guys have worked hard all the way here, go wash up and rest first, and wait for your uncle to come home before we meet you."
Jia Hu and Liu Heng agreed, said goodbye to Jia Min and Lin Daiyu, and left the yard.
Jia Min prepared a relatively large guest room for the two of them. Clean bedding and utensils were prepared, and tea at a moderate temperature and several plates of pastries were placed on the table. Hot water for bathing is also ready.
The two took a hot bath and put on clean clothes, and it was already evening.
Lin Ruhai has already gone back to his hometown.
Jia Min sent someone to call Jia Hu and Liu Heng and took them to meet Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai welcomed the arrival of the two young people very much.
Not to mention that Jia Hu is the nephew of his wife's mother's family, but that these two young talents have become scholars in their teens. Jia Hu is still a junior Sanyuan, and Lin Ruhai is very happy to be able to interact with them.
Lin Ruhai tested the two people's homework and was very satisfied with their answers. He said, "With your knowledge, the provincial examination is easy to get. Even the general examination, there is a high chance of getting on the list."< br>
Liu Heng smiled and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for the compliment."
Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "This is not a compliment, but a fact."
Jia Min said with pride: "My natal nephew and a junior family friend, not bad, right?"
Lin Ruhai nodded: "It's really good. It's a pity that the age doesn't match."
As Lin Ruhai's wife, Jia Min immediately understood what Lin Ruhai meant.
She couldn't help but look at Jia Hu and Liu Heng with regret. Indeed, the age difference was too big.
However, the second brother's second son Baoyu is about the same age as his daughter, so the mother's proposal may be feasible.
Jia Min thought.
Lin Daiyu was held by the nanny, blinking at her cousin and brother Liu.
She was more fond of Liu Hiiragi. She always felt that Liu Hiiragi gave her a very cordial feeling, which made her want to get close to Liu Hiiragi.
The food was put on the table, and Jia Min greeted the two teenagers to eat.
The Lin family's meals were very light, but tasted very good, and the two of them ate to their liking.
Jia Min ate very little. She only ate half a bowl of rice and a few mouthfuls of vegetables from a bowl the size of a baby's fist, and then put down her chopsticks.
The maid brought a large bowl filled with medicinal juice, which exuded a strong medicinal smell.
Jia Hu was surprised and asked: "Is aunt sick?"
Jia Min smiled and said: "No, this is anti-fetal medicine."
Liu Hao twitched his nose and said, "The smell of this medicine is wrong."
Liu Hao has never studied medicine, but he is a plant, and he can distinguish the taste of medicinal materials that are also plants very well.
Liu Tiao had smelled the anti-fetal medicine. When Liu's mother was pregnant with Liu Xianglian, she drank a lot of anti-fetal medicine.
The bowl of anti-fetal medicine in Jia Min’s hand contained an additional medicinal ingredient.
Jia Hu knew that his friend was sensitive to medicinal materials, and immediately said: "Auntie, don't drink the medicine yet, first find someone to check this bowl of medicine."
Jia Min and Lin Ruhai looked at each other, Jia Min put the medicine bowl on the table, and Lin Ruhai sent his men to invite the doctor.
The two of them believed in Jia Hu and Liu Heng. They had no conflict of interest with their family and were instead a family.
Compared to the servants in the mansion who might be bribed and betrayed, the two of them believed in Jia Hu and Liu Hiiragi more.
Jia Min said to Lin Daiyu's nanny: "Send sister back to her room first."
Lin Daiyu bit her lower lip. Although she was worried about her parents, she did not insist on staying and disturbing them. Getting down to business, I was carried back to my room by my nanny obediently.
The doctor was called not long after. He was a well-known doctor in Yangzhou City and his medical skills were very good.
Lin Ruhai asked the maid to bring the medicine bowl to the doctor for inspection, and the doctor came to a conclusion after some analysis.
A blind medicinal material was added to the anti-fetal medicine, turning the anti-fetal medicine into poison.
Although the toxin is not strong, if you drink too much and the toxin accumulates, problems will arise.
